Who initiated this yeye stupid topic anyway? |
Hotstepper, abeg who's this lucky guy? Isn't it funny that while you may be dying to say it, this guy may be running mental for you too? That's life oo. So, let the cat outta the bag. |
Increase your daily water intake. Brush your teeth and tongue first thing in the morning and before you go to bed at night Minty chewing gum helps too |
Like some have rightly pointed out, marriage insitutionalises a partnership between a man and a woman (man & man or woman and woman as has become the case recently )It accords legality to such a partnership so that either partner can seek redress should anything go wrong. Children from illegal marriages are termed bastards. Not a nice title to bear ![]() I know of such a partnership. The man is extremely rich and educated. He is also a playa playa. He never got married to the partner. She just moved in and they started proliferating kids. They literally banged their way into the partnership.She can only sit back and look. There's no divorce nor settlement in this case. She can only (should she choose to) walk out from his house like any other friday-night-one-night-stander. Only this time, we are talking of more than 15 years. So marriage is essential. It is sacred and should be regarded as such. |
They are also considerate and receptive |
Typical Nigerian behaviours Throwing out stuffs from moving cars Jumping queues especially at the airport Disobeying traffic lights Spraying money at social gatherings Fashion parade in church Borrowing without ever paying back (bad debt) Turning up late for every event (African time) Fixing appointments that can never be met (popular with arisans-tailors, mechanics etc) |
jafar:Reason is simple. They are feeding more than they did as single, probably because they can twice afford to do so. |
On a more serious note (considering my previous posts) No one really cares what colour your wedding gown is, so long as it's a wedding gown. Priest these days are more concerned at the fitting/style of gown than the colour. Some churches are rather strict as regards what should be displayed/miraged through a wedding gown.We are living in a world where a lot of things have changed. In a world where "can I have a fork please" now raises an eyebrow; a world where cats are no longer called pussy or puuussssss a world where John means more than the apostle I guess a white wedding gown could as well denote an x-rated virgin (six blow jobs and two heads) sage: |
It's very easy to decipher from the tone with ehich your posts are composed that some people are: proud to be ;non-chalant about not being ;wishing they could still be ;Get the picutre? ![]() |
shawna:Hovering on the fence ![]() |
kellorah: Bisanke:Bisanke & Kellorah, Congrats! You just passed the test Well done! ![]() I bet my b***s someone's gonna fall for it (and head first too) ![]() |

Most of the comments made here in support of Orji Kalu's bid for president have been made by people who may never have set foot on Abia state since the beginning of this century. Before we start clamouring and supporting and campaigning for him, let's take a trip to Aba and see the wonder that his administration has created there. I can outline the following as some of his administration's achievements: 1. Converting Aba to the "refuse dump of the nation". 2. There is hardly any motorable road in Aba as of today. 3. Almost every bank in Aba was robbed last month (June). Yes, he started off well by building roads. These roads don't exist anymore. Whoever is clamouring for his candidature should kindly take a trip to Aba. While Aba is not the only city in Abia, it can generate enoguh revenue to cater for its needs if properly managed. Forget what the websites say. Come to Aba and see for yourself. Personally I will not vote for him. He is a complete disgrace as a governor. Abia State is an oil-producing state. Yet states like Enugu and Ebonyi with no such luxury have fared better. |
No need to ask for the gifts. Even if she returns 70% of them (which won't happen) What about the time you spent together? Can you get that back too? Isn't that worth more than all the gifts in the world, two-folds?? |
Are there still nice guys out there? Yes there are. But sometimes they sound boring, antiquated, outdated and old-fashioned. They aren't always denzel washington, taye diggs or morris chestnut. You will have to read between the lines to fish them out. But they are very much around the corner. Closer than you may ever imagine. |
Going back to reality Every playa has one special person who has his heart. So, a man can love a woman and still cheat on her. And what does this say? It implies that sex is an over-emphasised and misconstrued way of expressing love. However, a man can still love his wife and remain faithful to her. Not every man cheats on his wife/girlfriend. The percentage may be so small, but they are still out there. |
Rottweiler:spoken like an insider ![]() |
Rhodalyn:Myspecs You have a tender heart. Time will harden it. Rhodalyn just said it all It's about time you became a playa playa ![]() |
Eustace:Why not launch your search in canada or wait till you return. Abi you wan marry by proxy? Anyway, best of luck |
0911 numbers are international numbers. Nothing to be scared of. It comes with the shanty connections we get in Naija. What if they are 419 people?? ![]() Can they swindle you straight from your mobile? ![]() Unless you're one greedy person. Could it be a call from a witch/wizard etc etc ![]() C'mon guys! ![]() ![]() |
Infatuation: A foolish, unreasoning, or extravagant passion or attraction. Is every first love foolish, unreasoning or extravagant? I would say no. Your first love may appear foolish 10 years later because you've grown more mature, and your way of reasoning has changed. However, you could have fallen in love for a good motive. Part of what I did for my first love was to write love letters and spray some perfume on the paper. I would also mark a section of the letter and ask my hearthrob to kiss kiss kiss . Those were the days. And they were well-intended.Is that foolish? ![]() Nope. Funny, maybe; but not foolish. Today i would pass for romantic. |
seguncool:See levels, Bros wan obtain phone number from babes U too mush ooo! ![]() |
25 pounds just packed neatly behind is not bad at all. That should surely send your angel back to heaven every time he comes around. ![]() |
luciano80:Luciano, You lie small. Shell in Nigeria recruits fresh graduates through three different processes. 1. SITP 1 & 2: The advert is placed in the dailies every year and is open to technical graduates from any Nigerian university with at least a second class-lower. 2. Overseas Graduate: If you have an MSc in an petroleum related discipline from a recognised university in Europe/USA, then you are eligible for recruitment under this scheme. If you fall under this category, then contact Shell directly. |
The text below was culled from the internet. It makes quite an interesting read and could serve as a guide for those about to settle down. A relationships coach lays out his 5 golden rules for evaluating the prospects of long-term marital success. When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, no one wants to make a mistake. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50percent, it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach to finding Mr, /Ms.Right! If you ask most couples who are engaged why they're getting married,they'll say: "We're in love." I believe this is the #1 mistake people make when they date. Choosing a life partner should never be based on love. Though this may sound not politically correct, there's a profound truth here. Love is not the basis for getting married. Rather, love is the result of a good marriage. When the other ingredients are right, then the love will come. Let me say it again: You can't build a lifetime relationship on love alone. You need a lot more. Here are five questions you must ask yourself if you're serious about finding and keeping a life partner. QUESTION #1: Do we share a common life purpose? Why is this so important? Let me put it this way: If you're married for 20 or 30 years, that's a long time to live with someone. What do you plan to do with each other all that time? Travel, eat and jog together? You need to share something deeper and more meaningful. You need a common life purpose. Two things can happen in a marriage. You can grow together, or you can grow apart. 50 percent of the people out there are growing apart. To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life bottom line-and marry someone who wants the same thing. QUESTION #2: Do I feel safe expressing my feelings and thoughts with this person? This question goes to the core of the quality of your relationship. Feeling safe means you can communicate openly with this person. The basis of having good communication is trust - i.e. trust that I won't get "punished" or hurt for expressing my honest thoughts and feelings. A colleague of mine defines an abusive person as someone with whom you feel afraid to express your thoughts and feelings. Be honest with yourself on this one. Make sure you feel emotionally safe with the person you plan to marry. QUESTION #3: Is he/she a mensch? A mensch is someone who is a refined and sensitive person. How can you test? Here are some suggestions. Do they work on personal growth on a regular basis? Are they serious about improving themselves? A teacher of mine defines a good person as "someone who is always striving to be good and do the right thing." So ask about your significant other: What do they do with their time? Is this person materialistic? Usually a materialistic person is not someone whose top priority is character refinement. There are essentially two types of people in the world: People who are dedicated to personal growth and people who are dedicated to seeking comfort. Someone whose goal in life is to be comfortable will put personal comfort ahead of doing the right thing. You need to know that before walking down the aisle. QUESTION #4: How does he/she treat other people? The one most important thing that makes any relationship work is the ability to give. By giving, we mean the ability to give another person pleasure. Ask: Is this someone who enjoys giving pleasure to others or are they wrapped up in themselves and self- absorbed? To measure this, think about the following: How do they treat people whom they do not have to be nice to, such as a waiters, bus boy, taxi driver, etc? How do they treat parents and siblings? Do they have gratitude and appreciation? If they don't have gratitude for the people who have given them everything, you cannot you --who can't do nearly as much for them! Do they gossip and speak badly about others? Someone who gossips cannot be someone who loves others. You can be sure that someone who treats others poorly will eventually treat you poorly as well. QUESTION #5: Is there anything I'm hoping to change about this person after we're married? Too many people make the mistake of marrying someone with the intention of trying to "improve" them after they're married. As a colleague of mine puts it, "You can probably expect someone to change after marriage , for the worse!" If you cannot fully accept this person the way they are now, then you are not ready to marry them. In conclusion, dating doesn't have to be difficult and treacherous. The key is to try leading a little more with your head and less with your heart. It pays to be as objective as possible when you are dating, to be sure to ask questions that will help you get to the key issues. Falling in love is a great feeling, but when you wake up with a ring on your finger, you don't want to find yourself in trouble because you didn't do your homework. Another perspective, There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going anywhere relationships. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention. Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know, or appreciate you? The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life. An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye." Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults isn't really that important. Once you decide to commit to someone, over time their flaws, vulnerabilities, pet-peeves and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn how to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life together. Neither one of you is perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other? Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare and control? What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain? You can't take someone to the altar to alter them. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life" you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain. Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship. Seeking status, sex, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship. WHAT KEEPS A RELATIONSHIP STRONG IS: 1. TRUST 2. COMMUNICATION 3. INTIMACY 4. A SENSE OF HUMOR 5. SHARING TASKS 6. SOME GETAWAY TIME WITHOUT BUSINESS OR CHILDREN 7. DAILY EXCHANGES (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note) 8. SHARING COMMON GOALS AND INTERESTS 9. GIVING EACH OTHER SPACE TO GROW WITHOUT FEELING INSECURE 10. GIVING EACH OTHER A SENSE OF BELONGING AND ASSURANCES OF COMMITMENT If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty and pain WILL replace the passion.

Unless you have a specific reason to serve in Kaduna, I suggest you choose Abuja. It seems to be a popular choice for overseas graduates who choose to return home for their NYSC. |
kajad:Any comments from Maki? |
VOR:Some fart have been known to set off the smoke alarm. So for those who think your lover's fart is Channel No.5 Beware! |
michy:Yes I am. gbengaijot:I suggest you go into body building. Start off on a mild note. A couple of push ups everyday. A bit of weight lifting (don't use excessive weights). Back it up with increase in your beef intake (suya etc). In 2 monthos or less you should notice some changes. |
