Which relaxer does that Uniport chick use?

Guys, please don't confuse this with the politics section. Stay on the topic.

#Stern look!

Yes..

LOL@ wiggiest!
Baby mama is para-ing!

Baby mama: She is a pretty girl

Sure she is. But compared with others nko? Ah! There'd be catastrophe oo!
Let's just hope that she's got a lot of 'em brains though.

Still don't know who invited Miss Cross River to this pageant oo!

We'll just wait to see its response rate then. Thank you!

Ahn ahn! Are these other chicks contesting too? Ahn ahn...the scale is not balanced at alll ooooo.

And Afam, this is the perfect place for it! All pageants and every other matters relating to pageantry, are suited for the Events section, so long the spotlight is on no celebrity per se.

Thanks, Missy! This section needs back all its stolen/forgotten glory. I wish the news will fly fast!

Awww, Miss Abia has got pretty eyes. They're all beautiful. But it seems as though, the Ajasin gurl might not last long in the contest. Hmmmn...let's just wait and see others though.

lalaosky: jeez...like seriously?.....SMH...some men has lost it..WTF!!...i'm a christain by the way and in my family's history but paternal and maternal, none is a divorcee but i won't have a second thought on divorcing the hediot(if am the woman) you describe in your post and than take his arsè to court and make sure he pays even with his breath!!

For shizzle, no punking. Sapele, Delta state. 2k9.

lalaosky: i've seen them....like kails said, untill we found ourselves in such conditions, we can't truly judge.but i will still handle myself better like my dad did.nobody is perfect so the women shouldn't push the men to the wall and the men should know that beating a woman can't be justified(at least to me).there are many ways to prove to a woman, that you are the captain of the ship and BEATING is surely aint one IMHO

I get what you're saying but the truth is, most wife beaters are naturally angry people. Nothing placates them. I've known a man that beat his wife just because 'she doesn't know how to enjoy his money'.
He would hang out at the beer parlor till late hours, come back tipsy, disturb the entire neighborhood with the clangs on their gate, and complete his day with punching the wife. When the neighbors decided to tell on him, the explanation he gave was that the wife doesn't know how to enjoy his wealth with him. Of cos, some of us would have only considered her as a real woman if she'd been docile enough to leave her 5 months old babe at home, to perform her wifely duties at the beer parlor beside her husband. Hehehe.

My dearest African women, I know the church, our mothers, the society have in one way or another instilled the fear of divorce in us, but nah, it's not such a bad thing, especially when the union becomes detrimental to your existence. Break away from the shackles. You have a right to be who you are too, for you're as human as any man can be. I spent most of my life in Nigeria, and I'm as Nigerian as they come, so there's nothing anyone can tell me about society. I know my right as a human being and that is my right to life. And the right to live in actuality, is a tad more than just living. It is the right to live beyond absurd boundaries...the right to expressions...... And I choose to always fight for that right and won't be subdued because my momma advices so. Please do the same.

I feel like going now. I've been entertained well enough.

Not really. I've always been shy.

O-kk
When they become more proactive, you can let us know too...

I am just getting my stuff together to get gone from this place. My colleagues are just in time to let me do so. Nothing big is happening here either. Not that it really ever does. There's just a bunch of reactive individuals, tucked away in bed, by the care given by my team...

And as always, there's music,... far far away though....This city never sleeps....

Beync: should a man slap you when you wrong him, what will you do to him when he wrong you?
My dear i don't expect a slap from my man when i make mistake, i espect him to correct me and i'll take correction
not the other way round. he can only slap me when he must have tested the slap on his face and confirm that it's good.

Powder your cheeks and accept some slaps still.

carefreewannabe: I am not saying women have the right to insult their husbands / boyfriends.
Yet, nobody has the right to hit another person. And I don't care if it's a a man hitting the woman or the woman hitting the man. Simple!

Wife beaters almost never put their hands on other men that 'runs their mouths'.

Hehe. Someone's got jokes.

Inspired by:

Just this week....
.....broke a new record on Guinness book of record after using his bare teeth to lift a bag of dangote cement in delta...
~~~~~~~~~~~
....a link? Lol. Must info, always be copied, and of the far past on Nairaland? Dont we like live things here?

I just passed through Inner Marina and saw one of the high rise office buildings in the CBD burning with fire trucks running towards the area. Who knows which building is affected?

....to ensure constant power supply to wamako the governor's town , despite the huge amount given out for this project. If u are in Sokoto please update us.

Sooo, who's first?

Hey there,

Looking for the inside scoops regarding your community? Or you've got some 'sharp' info to share, relating to what people are talking across town? C'mon, give it a voice with the Events Section community, as we understand that there is ALWAYS an interesting discovery around the corner.

From how jammed your route is...to the wrestling match between iya Crazyman and mama Rocky...to the house opening at Okra soup bus stop...and of cos, little doggy Scooby Doo's funeral.

Easily share your life right now, as it happens....where it happens!

6. A Multi-Thousand Dollar Surgery that just might fix that blindness!

In brief, there are loads of cool stuff for them and I can't mention everything, even if I tried. Others may include a relaxing massage/ aromatherapy bath oils/ fleece foot wares (so they can value the sense of touch), other talking products like a GoBible, talking wrist watches , alarms, and even talking cooking wears.

Of all the wonderful gifts though, there's an ultimate one you can NEVER go wrong with.....and we seldom give this, even when we can... The ultimate number six ~ See beneath.

5. A bowl of food/ basket of fruits/ food trip:
Food can be an exciting sensory experience that can stimulate one’s sense of smell, taste, touch and hearing. You can give that wonderful person a basket/ bowl of assorted delicacies or goodies that you made yourself. Or you could take him on a food trip and as well, do some bonding, over a variety of great cuisine.

4. A ticket to a live performance:
Live performances are always an amazing experience even for the blind. A wonderful alternative to giving an I- pod, would be a ticket to a live performance of the recipient’s favorite musician...or even to a stand up comedy show.

3. An Audiobook:
Audio books make it easier for the visually impaired to enjoy a great book. Oh yes! The recipient's favorite author/book would be in order again. Another wonderful thing about audio books, is that people can enjoy it while doing other things.
