I knew you'd respond with heat and angry words-its all hot air. Look,KENYANS didn't invent that HDI list,which if you'd bothered to read goes beyond mere GDP figures in finding the real state of a country's development. It examines a whole host of issues like access to health care,water,education and child morbidity which are mutually reinforcing factors defining national development more accurately than mere GDP.
You so love to throw your weight around but according to the same UNDP list Benin,Ghana and Cameroon are ahead of you-why

. . . How old are you again u kenya riff-raff, you seem to be overwhelmed by your un-intelligence. If you want to discuss facts then lay them flat and lets talk about it. Making vague quotations and stooopid claims do not prove anything, come with your statistical facts, where are your figures etc, dont sit in front of ur monitor and spew hokum. You are a kid trying to argue with somebody that know way better and has travelled well than you can ever do. Anyway, this is my last post to you until you come up with facts and figures to back up your claim, if you cant then I will leave you to keep throwing stooopid childish tantrums.

Whitney is looking so very nice and I like the fact that she is aging with so much grace. Somebody says he does not understand Clive's obsession with her, may be you dont really know who Whitney Houston really is then. Go look her up I guess. Up till date, I am yet to find any female miuscian with her kind of vocal skills and power. Back in her days in the 80s Whitney was like the female version of Michael Jackson, she was the first african american femal artiste to get heavy play rotation on MTV, till date most of her songs are evergreen. Even I, a male have many of her songs on my IPod and laptop, she has a way of singing that that moves you to the soul, very few people can do that. Even when she sings other people's songs, she makes you forget the original owners, up till 2day, "I will always love you" (which arguably is the highest selling motion picture soundtrack in history) was actually written and initially sung by Dolly Parton but not many people know that, same with many of her singles from "saving all my love for you", "All the man I need" to "greatest love of All", she did all of them better and made people forget their owners. Her total record sales is in the region 170-200 million copies, only a few artistes have such an intimidating record sales and they are all Legends from MJ to the Beetles, Madona, celine dion and good old Maria Carey.
So my Dear Whitney Houston is no small fry, if anyone is obsessed with her, she deserves it cos she is all talent musically, if not for that junkie Bobby Brown that introduced her to drugs she would not ve fallen out of grace but she is ok now and doing her thing. . .I like that song she did with Akon "like I never Left" babe has still got steam even now. Even the one with Enrique Iglesia "can I ve this kiss forever" was my Val favourite song to my gal. . .lol. Nuf said jare!

She not only needs to hit the gim, she also needs to do liposuction. Whats all that corrugated contours doing on her tommy, geez she is nothing like a Hollywood dime!

2011.
Egypt's new military rulers dissolved
parliament and suspended the
constitution but said they would govern
only until elections to replace ousted
president Hosni Mubarak, possibly in six
months.
Troops, some wielding sticks, earlier took
control of Tahrir (Liberation) Square, the
fulcrum of the 18 days of protests that
swept Mubarak from power on Friday. It
let traffic flow through central Cairo as
the army struggled to return life to
normal.
The Higher Military Council, which took
over after a revolt that changed modern
Egyptian history and ended Mubarak's
30-year rule, promised a referendum on
constitutional amendments in this key
American ally in the Middle East.
The initial response from opposition
figures and protest leaders was largely
positive. "Victory, victory," chanted pro-
democracy activists in Tahrir Square.
"It is a victory for the revolution," said
Ayman Nour, who challenged Mubarak
for the presidency in 2005 and was later
jailed. "I think this will satisfy the
protesters." A military statement read:
"The higher council of the armed forces
will manage the affairs of the country for
a temporary period of six months or until
the end of elections to the upper and
lower houses of parliament, and
presidential elections."
It gave no timetable for what will be a
complex process. But setting an initial
period of military rule at six months
seemed to be an early indication of the
generals' thinking on timing. No other
body seems able to run the country
before elections.
Egypt's constitution was written with
built-in guarantees to keep Mubarak in
power, elections were rigged in favor of
his ruling party and opposition groups
such as the Muslim Brotherhood were
sometimes harassed, sometimes
tolerated.
As the momentous events in Egypt
continued to ripple across the region,
demonstrators in Yemen, inspired by
protests in Tunisia and Egypt, clashed
with police blocking them from marching
on Ali Abdullah Saleh's presidential
palace.
Egypt's government now reports to the
military as it did to Mubarak. The former
air force commander was despised by
many for ruling like a pharaoh, though he
was once a hero for his role in the 1973
war with Israel and who steadied Egypt
after the 1981 assassination of his
predecessor Anwar Sadat.
Protest organizers were forming a
Council of Trustees to defend the
revolution and urge swift reform from a
military intent on restoring law and order
during the transition.
Any sign the army is reneging on its
promises of democracy and civilian rule
could reignite mass protests on the
street.
Uncertainty remains over how much
influence the military will seek to exert in
reshaping a corrupt and oppressive ruling
system which it has propped up for six
decades.
People argued heatedly in Tahrir Square
over whether to comply with army orders
to leave. "The people want the square
cleared," some chanted. "We will not
leave!" countered others.
Police officers, emboldened by Mubarak's
downfall, gathered outside the Interior
Ministry to demand higher pay. Warning
shots were fired in the air. No one was
hurt.
Workers from the health and culture
ministries staged demonstrations as
Egyptians began venting pent-up
frustrations.
Egypt declared Monday a bank holiday
after workers disrupted operations at the
country's main state banks.
The military is expected on Monday to
ban meetings by labor unions or
professional syndicates, effectively
forbidding strikes, and to tell all Egyptians
to get back to work.
There will also be a warning from the
military against those who create "chaos
and disorder," an army source said,
adding the army would, however,
acknowledge the right to protest. The
cabinet met and, for the first time, the
portrait of Mubarak did not gaze over its
proceedings as Egyptians quietly
removed once ubiquitous images of the
82-year-old former leader.
Protesters have demanded the release of
political prisoners, the lifting of a state of
emergency, the abolition of military
courts, fair elections and a swift
handover to civilian rule.
The army has said it would lift emergency
law, used to stifle dissent under Mubarak,
when "current circumstances end." But it
has not specified a timetable.
Despite Mubarak's resignation, some
protesters have said they plan to stay in
Tahrir Square to ensure the military
keeps its promises on transition. They
have urged Egyptians to turn out in their
millions for a "victory march" on Friday.
The military's strategy has been to calm
the nation and the world about its
intentions and, in the short term, to try to
enforce the law after the disgraced police
melted away, having failed to crush
protesters with teargas and batons.
On Saturday, the army said it would
uphold Egypt's international obligations.
These include a peace treaty with Israel,
whose defense minister has been in
touch with his Egyptian counterpart, who
heads the military council.
How to handle policing has become a
pressing issue.
Interior Minister Mahmoud Wagdy has
said Egypt needs "the speedy return of
the police to duty," saying 13,000
inmates who escaped from prison early in
the uprising were still on the run.
Some traffic police were back on Cairo
streets beside soldiers and tanks
guarding intersections and key buildings.
But the minister said only one police
officer in three was working.
Apparently seeking to reassure Egyptians
that everything was under control, Prime
Minister Ahmed Shafiq said government
affairs were being presented to the
Higher Military Council, "as they were
presented to the president of the
republic."
Shafiq was appointed by Mubarak when
he sacked his former cabinet on January
29 in a vain effort to quell the uprising.
His remarks were likely to anger
Egyptians hoping Mubarak's ruling
system would be dismantled immediately
in the new era.
Shafiq said he believed Mubarak was in
the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh,
and that the cabinet had not made any
request to freeze the deposed president's
assets abroad.
A British minister said there should be an
international approach to dealing with
Mubarak's overseas assets.
As more detail emerged about the tumult,
a top Egyptologist said that treasures
missing from the world-renowned
Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square
included a statue of King Tutankhamun.
The military was clear in its instructions
for Tahrir.
"We do not want any protesters to sit in
the square after today," Mohamed
Ibrahim Moustafa Ali, head of military
police, said as soldiers removed
protesters' tents from the square.
People chanted "peacefully, peacefully"
as soldiers and military police in red
berets moved in to disperse them.
Scuffles broke out and some soldiers
lashed out with sticks. Protesters said
soldiers detained about 50 people.
The most committed protesters vowed to
remain.
Jihad Laban, an accountant, said much
work remained to make sure the
revolution did not squander what it had
gained.
"The goal was never just to get rid of
Mubarak. The system is totally corrupt
and we won't go until we see some real
reforms. I am going to be buried in Tahrir. I
am here for my children. Egypt is too
precious to walk away now."
Mohamed ElBaradei, a retired UN
diplomat who has been put forward as a
reformist spokesman, urged the army to
bring in civilians to take part in the
transitional process:
"We need heavy participation by the
civilians," he told CNN. "It cannot be the
army running the show."

*Walks in on the thread  & then let rip  a heavy stench of flatulence from my bowels and then walks out*
Wait until white dreadlocks grow on your coochie before you snap back to reality. . . . .hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahhaha

You are cracking me up with your small talk dude. . LoL. . Kenya seemed ahead of Nigeria in the HDI list because in comparison to the Kenya population,Nigeria's is like 4 times the population of kenya, dont you get it? You numbskull! By the time the other economic indices are calculated against the backdrop of the population and density, obviously smaller countries will seem to do better especially as it relates to human development and governmental policies as it affects them which is what the HDI is all about in the first place-even if the economic profile is small in comparison.
May be I should take on a refresher course on some raw facts since you are itching to bring it up anyway;
Kenya has a population of nearly 39 million people with a land mass area of 224080 sq mi hence the low population density of 174.1 per sq mi. Now compare these figures to Nigeria's more than 150million people with a landmass area of 356667 sq mi hence the very high population density of 426.8 per sq mi. The implication of this is that more people will have to scramble for limited resources in Nigeria than little kenya with a meager 39million people and a huge landmass area to play around with and go on free safaris.
In terms of economic development, even with our unending problems of corruption and mismanagement, Nigeria is still a light years ahead of kenya in all ramifications, good to bad.
Wait let me take you on a ride to Nigeria's EGO-nomics and show you the folly of your dumb attempts at unneccessarily trying to compete.
Kenya's GDP as estimated using the country's PPP is $65.059 billion and the per capita is $1782 which pales in comparison to Nigeria's $374.323billion with a per capita of $2459. Kenya is doing well no doubt especially when you compared to the losers in east Africa but it is folly for you to now take that arrogance and try to shove it across other parts of Africa with way bigger economies, problems and achievements. What you saw on the UN HDI list is a reflection of the impact of Government policies on its citizens development and it is understandable if kenya is some notches ahead of us given your population size and landmass area, even Togo is ahead of us. . . lol. .but dont misconstrue that as Kenya being miles ahead of us in development cos that is laughable. Afterall, Norway is ahead of the US in thesame list, does that make them better than than the US? I bet you are confused now. .lol. . You senile kid from Kenya!

enitan2002:
@ kobo,
there're some reports that just dont find their way to the media.
Do you know Ben Ali was bundled inside a car that took him to where his private jet was? When his he and his wife got inside the plane, he alighted saying he's ready to die in tunisia rather than running away, the state secret service chief with him at the airport warned him never to try that if he doenst want to get bundled to the aircraft. His wife leila shouted at his 'wasn't it your folly that got us to where we are now'

This among several reports that never find their way to the media. So, dont question where i got that from.

Do you ask where wikileaks get their cables from?

enitan you were correct in your claim that the US government had threatened to stop military aid to the egyptian army if Hosni Mubarak did not step down and Saudi Arabia promised to take it up if the US actually stopped, hence the defiance of Mubarak and the indirect jab at the US when he said he wont succumb to foriegn pressure during his speech at tahrir square which further inflamed Egyptians.
Anyone that has been following the way the US has responded to the Egyptian crisis, will notice the response was less clear, ranging from strong backing for Mubarak at first to a verbal shove toward the door.
In the 18 days it took massive demonstrations to force a once-immobile American ally, Hosni Mubarak to relinquish power, the Obama administration revised its message several times. Although their talking points solidified around non-violence, universal rights and orderly political change, the administration ’s initial response to the protests was muted.
First, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden defended Mubarak; days later, Obama called for a democratic transition. Later on, top envoys suggested it would be least disruptive if Mubarak stayed while elections were planned, before the White House called again for a “prompt” changeover. The fact is that continuity in Egypt, a moderate Arab ally, was essential to protect U.S. interests in Israel’s security, the peace process and containing Iran’s ambitions.
According to a former NSC and state department official, Michele Dunne, who was among more than a dozen Egypt experts invited by the NSC to offer counsel during the crisis, Dunne said the State Department and Pentagon were under pressure from stalwart allies such as Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia not to throw Mubarak under the bus.
The U.S. doles out $1.5 billion in mostly military aid to Egypt annually, and while this has given successive administrations over the last three decades substantial influence with Egypt ’s military leadership, it didn’t translate into the power to order Mubarak to go. The leverage of that military aid may have become weaker once Saudi Arabia pledged to replace any decline in U.S. funding. Obviously the US ability to influence events in the Mideast has declined in recent years, particularly with diminished credibility in the aftermath of the Iraq war. Mubarak, in a clear reference to the U.S., said on Feb. 10 that he would not bow to foreign pressure. The inner politics of the egyptian military forced him out and it was made possible through behind the scenes concessions, agreements and diplomacy with foreign allies especially the US.

GRRRROAAAAN!! Ransocky,Judge dredd,pro01 and rhymz you've reverted to type. Aggressive juvenile mouthiness usually seen among schoolboys. BOOOOO!! to all the emotionally stunted emoboys on this thread.Tell me smth ,son-why is this country miles ahead of yours with only horticulture,maize,dairy,tourism,coffee,tea,sugar,flower and real estate when we have no minerals to speak of? Answer me that ohh brilliant witty philosopher boy! Any of Tobie's butt buddies are also free to answer.

. . .LMAO. . . Dude are you this dense? Like serioisly, you re going to mention Nigeria in thesame breath with Kenya. . Hahaha. . .this is not a contest my dear, go and flex your cellulite muscles in eastern Africa where you can compare notes with chicken economies there. Nigeria and Nigerians are too much competition for dumbo kenyans.

I laugh when people try to suggest what happened in june 12 as a protest. . .lol. .that was Nigerians being Nigerians. We had people rioting and destroying public properties for different reasons, in the west the Yorubas were rioting cos the government was trying to short-change Abiola the alleged winner, in the east people were protesting not neccessarily cos of Abiola but cos of their wards, family and properties being killed and destroyed in other part of nigeria and may be a percieved northern elite agenda to keep IBB in power, the Hausas wanted IBB out too but still did not spare non hausas or fulanis. How all these translated to a protest is beyond me, we had people fleeing to their real state of origins and in the end, what did we achieve? Let us not kid ourselves, Nigerians do not need to go the egyptian or Tunisian way to demand change. Those of us that actually witnessed the horrors of June 12 can attest to the fact that Nigerians will do better gradually strengthening our democratic and political institutions and changing our political mindset than for the present day Nigerians to take to the streets wreck undue havoc. In the first place what will be our main reason for such a protest? GEJ, the system of Government or corruption? What exactly for? Elections are by the corner, whoever has any protest can do that now by organising others through sensitization programmes to vote en mass for the right candidate and may be take it up from there. Pushing people to protest now will only earn them bullets from our trigger-happy police force and nothing will happen except that you will be statistics in the dailies.

pro01:
Who is this pseudo-moralistic nincompoop crying more than the bereaved? Even the tone of the article (written by an American, and on CNN, mind you) suggests a romanticization of Tobe's exploits - particularly the ingenuity behind them - and a fascination with his enigmatic persona; although nobody disputes his criminality.

And yet, here comes this air-head with a famished brain expressing misplaced angst against Nigerians. Since you're feeling so aggrieved and shortchanged, why not tie a rope around your skinny Kenyan neck and dangle from your ceiling fan? That will mean one less nitwit on our planet.

this is the best response to that ignoramus kukiyi abi na kulikuli im call himself. . .some ppl just like to indulge in stoopid smug censorship.

kikuyu1:
HELL YEAH!! No apologies. Of over 12 pages and 250 posts,all you've done is bleat joyfully about he outsmarted onyibo as if that money is yours. That attitude explains why you guys are 10 places behind us on the UNDP HDI list.
Its the same attitude thats the cause for your mandatory international immigration and customs check embarrassment. That mindset is why I doubt you'll get anywhere as a nation for a while.

. . . You are such an ignorant self-righteous moralist, drunk with your own sense of decency. I bet Kenya has got no criminals, may be those local crooks and criminally minded kenyans in Nairobi robbing,raping and killing tourists on safaris are any better than Tobechukwu. Let us discuss thier crude methods or better still paste pictures of those hungry looking criminal kenyan locals terrorizing tourists in Nairobi and have something to sermonize about. You are so full of yourself you little minded kenyan, you sit on the foul smelling social ills and problems in Kenya and want to talk in judgemental tone to Nigerians? Even the diction and style of the American writer highlights the fact that the article was not about teaching chicken littles like you simple moral lessons but to expose the seemingly lack of cyber security in online banking, there by intensifying efforts to close any loophole in the system. That Tobechi was able to defile the system showed they needed to do more to protect people's money from even worse criminals with better understanding of the system and more resources at thier disposal than Tobechi. But what can the small mind of a keyan grasp, just simple moral lessons but not the bigger and more complicated revelations, else you will go mad! Keep deluding yourself with your holier than thou BS, Tobe go carri d money enter Nairobi and those hungry looking tramps in kenya will still be sucking up to him. Shut your 4cking dog breath or drink cyanide and drop, can be sure you wont be missed!

Ujujoan:
     

Where did you get that from?

Ujujoan:
That's not true . . . there's something called central igbo which sounds more like what Anambra - Onitsha people speaks. That's what is being taught in schools!

Lol   

You really do have a passion for the language don't you   

It's nice to know your dialect and be able to communicate fluently with it. I grew up in Edo state myself and only got to learn the Igbo language when I had to school at UNIZIK - Awka. Having lived in Awka for over 8 years now, I can speak, write and understand the language mush more than any of my siblings!    

And I think the Owrri dialect is classic . . . It sounds almost poetic. I also love the 'Kana we (ebe 'a kita) ' people! 

. . . Now this is an inspiring story I must confess. You mean you grew up in Edo, could not speak until recently when you started schooling in the east? Did you make any effort to want to learn it? Like buy books attend igbo classes etc, just curious cos I may ve to resort to that if it worked for you. . .lol
By the way I think you are right about the NCI being the acceptable standard in literature, my Uncle has got a stash of igbo books most of them were written in NCI. But I dont know, there are people here with better knowledge of that sha, lol

You must be flirting with Utopia; when a nation is moved into action by the conviction of many rather than the unneeded sacrifice of a few (Tai Solarin e.g)   Something unifying that cut's across ethnic, religious and political lines (Like IBB and Abacha dictatorship uprising) must happen. Right now, Crooked politicians play on our collective ethnic and religious-driven sentiments to sell Democracy as a situation where the voice of the citizens are heard through incompetent members of the polity. any diversion from the "norm" will be violently dealt with or simply ignored or discountenanced.

The Youths; the future of of this nation are gradually fading into anonymity while the Aged and decrepit leadership pay lip-service to Education, Youth Empowerment and Development. It is up to you and I to become Politically Aware and Active at any level we find ourselves. the more youths we get into the political ecosystem, the better for Nigeria. join a party and become relevant. sooner than later, the old dolts will find their grave. The youths must be ready to take the reigns.

dude I think you did not wait to comprehend what I was trying to say before rushing to quote me. The situation in egypt is quite different from Nigeria's. The main objective of the 18-day protest was to forcefully unseat Mubarak who has been president since 1984 and that has been achieved. In the case of Nigeria, we are in an election year, whoever has any grieviances can do that at the polls, so what is the need for such here? Besides our problem is not long siting presidents but institutional and political failure at every realm of our polity. Nigeria does not need the Tunisian or egyptian type of revolution cos that will just lead to unneccessary bloodbath and confusion, the last time some officers thought otherwise, the civil war was the outcome. Lets argue situations in perspectives and leave sentiments aside.

I dont see how Nigeria needs this kind of revolution, infact, sitting as president for 20yrs is impossible in a country like Nigeria. So why are people screaming Nigeria all over the thread? What Nigeria needs now are serious political institutions that ensure people do not go scot free when they breal the laws. We need some serious political awareness and awakening. People here express aparthy when it comes to their right and political leadership, we dont ve serious oppositions, there is hardly any difference btw PDP and ACN and that is why PDP will always thump the other parties in the head when it comes to elections. Apart from a few persons in the oppositions who ve shown good leadership qualities the rest are of thesame breed, no wonder GEJ called them rascals because in comparison to his party, oppositions are nothing different. Good news for Egypt but not yet time to celebrate anything, let us still watch what happens after now. We ve seen near situations like this where people yearned for a changed only to be plagued by the change. Let us hope this wind of change sweeps across black african countries like Gabon,Zimbabwe and co. As for Naija, this is not the type of revolution we need now, there is no need to kill yourself over nothing abeg.

I am in Owerri at the moment and I can confirm this is what is going on now in Imo state. About 10 of my neihgbors left early this morning for thesame thing. And I think it is not just one political party that is doing it, all of them are into this voters' card in exchange for money scam. God help us.

Damn I like this thread already. . .sometimes I fuss over the fact that I was raised in Lagos. I just started coming to terms with the need to identify with my igbo origin. Even though Dad and Mum were in the habit of speaking in igbo language to us when communicating, it is still a shame I cant speak it fluently with the proficiency of an eastern bred igbo. Am making efforts anyway, even though sometimes I just miskogbio the thing when I encounter difficulty when speaking it to my granny . . Lol. Good thing is my Parent ensured we all went to higher institutions here in the east and it has really helped me to understand many things about our culture, tradition and varying dialects. Like for instance, Popsi speaks Owerri with mad precision that my Anambra neighbor back in Lagos always listens in awe and laughter, they sometimes say things to make him talk only to their entertainment. You know there is sth smooth and cheesy about the owerri dialect that makes you just wanna listen, I mean hearing an Owerri man like my dad lost in that dialect can be as smooth to the ears as ice water dripping down an icycle. You know the 'ishi ni ni' i wu o la(do u understand) and so on. . . However, when it comes to names mehn, I am a sucker for the anambra varients for instance imo-ihunanya, Anambra-Ifunanya, ifeoma,iheoma, Tochi,Tochukwu,Ogechi and Ogechukwu. Another dialect of note is that of Nekede, I notice them say uyor for ulo and so on. . . . . By the way, which of the igbo varients is the acceptable standard in literature writing and general communication? I once had that arguement with a coleague and he insisted it was the NCI as many of thier scholars dominate igbo literature anyway. Guys what do you think?

oluite:
Bros are you saying that its a pastor that will tell you who to spend the rest of your life with?!!?
Are you sure??

, well I just did a lil digging, I think I may be wrong anyway, that was Platinumnk. However, they sound very much alike the way they take on issues. Sorry Pweety if actually you aint Platinumnk,

Wait a Minute! Is the Poster not thesame Lady that was once alleged to have swindled a Nigerian business man whom she was supposed to be representing his interest in the US? Does anyone remember that particular thread where the victim opened a thread and gave us a smelly detail of how this poster had collected money 4rm him to ship some goods and never did and when further queried by the business man, she severed every means of communication with the man and went incommunicado even when her friends where here on NL defending and accusing her she never came out to defend the accusations and stuff. I remember her personal and family details being bandied all over NL by the victim. Whatever happened to that case? I hope she aint thesame person with this poster cos they both sound alike. Controversial and unneccessarily touchy, does anyone remember this lady am talking of? She has had a brush with theseeker, fl gators, amebo, busybody and co, I think na2day knows her too. Could it be thesame pweety person?

Mr Psychologist, incase you ve 4gotten, this is the 21st century.Wake up to the changing times.If she  desires to ask for a man, she can. Please dont take us back to the victorian era.

. . . .stop kidding yourself jor! You mean in this 21st century ppl still get so condescending like that even when it is obvious they are the one in need. . . .scheeew

The poster is as unserious as the nature of the thread. I even find this nonsense condescending and an uneccessary ego boosting trip to no where. You re busy outlining what you want and deliberately forgot to talk about your own qualities. You dont even have a pic of you on your profile instead U carry Hally Berry put, lol come of it jor, who are you kidding! Only guys with low self esteem will oblige you and let you fall their hands like a pack of card, in my family, women dont choose us we choose them. If you are serious any way, I could hook you up with some serious minded men but you will have to earn it, no serious minded able man that is worth his salt will submit himself to such a childish and humiliating game in the name of blind date, Deuces!

I cant feel exactly in a relationship with a woman I am yet to have $ex with by virtue of the relationship. As far as I am concerned, we are just friends and nothing more. Shikena! $ex gives a relationship openess which takes the relationship to another lvl. Why be in a relationship with sb I cant share my sexual desires with? I could as well be in such a platonic ish with my cousins and female froends.

And come sef, wetin be Dakore obsession with artificial dreads(dada). I mean, cant she give us another side of her looks, abi na jazz

You are who you are. It's perfectly normal and ok to find other women attractive even in a sexual way. What is not ok is when people make you feel sinful because of your sexual orientation.

, Are you joking or trying to feel modern with such a warped sense of morals and ? What is normal about having same sex intercourse or are you trying to equate the dictates of nature with political correctness? You could as well argue that it is ok to have intercourse with animals, impressionable kids like you make westerners call us dumb cos you dont ve a mind of your own just follow the crowd.

Hahahahahahah, M.I and his crew don hear am, Seriously, with the way Nigga brags on his songs one will think KH will be squashed with a few dope lines but for where? KH is stubborn and a thorough bred, he may not be a rapper but he sure knows how to diss and mock one into ridicule. As it is now, KH has almost nothing to lose apart from his fumbling career(which I suspect is making him itchy and touchy) he will go to any length just to get his respect, unfortunately, M.I and crew are goina be the fall guys, lol
and this has shown that when it comes to rap battle, he is just a light weight, he aint got lines that will make u go "wow" or "yo that's murder". Imagine dude trying to say kelly aint Handsome, lol thats so silly, Kelly is way way Handsome than 2face and Banky W(with okada seat head, lol have you seen that guy without his cap, lol), that is a fact, if he had wanted to diss with that, he woulda gone the Canibus way on LL cool J. KH abeg u be stubborn boy jare I dey feel Ur stubborn swag jor, M.I is a paper tiger jare, I see more ppl dissing M.I after KH, lol

Well, it is a good thing that you are not in denial of thus weird feelings that consumes you at times. You are not yet a lesbian and please dont encourage it. I wont advise you to clutch a bible and run to any church cos that will only give placebo effect but the problem wont go away. There is nothing bad if you ve got such feelings and desires but it becomes bad when you willingly give in to it. Seriuosly, this is a matter of WILL and sincere resolve. Check yourself and find out the kind of materials you expose youself to. Do you read books with extreme and weird description of sex and sexual habits? Or may be the kind of movies you watch encourage same sex cohabitation and depicts it like it is normal. In this age we live in where one is bamboozled with sexual contents from tv to mag and the internet, it is only a matter of time before we begin to react negetively to these images and suggestive graphics. But it takes the determined ones to still conform to normal way of behavior, you dont ve to succumb to the dictates of a manipulated society. People support homosexualism to appear politically correct and accomodating, it does not make such habit normal. It is up to you to determine if you want to nip it in the bud or follow the crowd, the call is yours my sister!
