Been following your posts a while. As it appears not to be a scam. Send details of the product to the email address above. I need 2 units & I bet I can get a few other bites on your behalf. I however prefer Samsung. WD might do
Technology MarketI Need An Htc Sensation 4g. How Low Can You Go? by Saipro(op): 12:37pm On Aug 06, 2011
I'm not an Android fan but my Symbian Nokia is on the verge of giving in. I've been advised to go for an Android.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Xperia neo or Arc will do. Same goes for Samsung Galaxy Ace or S II
Technology MarketRe: Htc Hd7 And Used Wildfire For Sale by Saipro(m): 7:25pm On Aug 05, 2011
How about 35k for the HD7? And which of the Wildfires are you offering? How about a pic of the front?
ComputersRe: Why Are Nigerians So Crazy About 2go by Saipro(m): 3:13pm On Aug 05, 2011
Ventured to try this much hyped app. My submission:
1. Just as there's no evil in the atom, there's no evil in the app; rather, in the souls of the abusers of the app.
2. If it wastes your time, it's because you've nothing better to do with your time.
3. If the chat rooms are not your thing, you don't have to visit them. If you get violated there, remember, you CHOSE to be there.
4. It's actually nifty - small, swift & inexpensive to run.
5. It's ubiquitous nature permits it to run on virtually any phone supporting the Java platform.
5. Friends & family on 2go and Facebook are never too far away. You've no excuse for not connecting. You've neither an excuse for chatting with people you've no business with and ending up being insulted.
6. A host of other nice attributes ,

In fact, the only downside is the sore fingertips - if you overdo it
PoliticsRe: Lagos Flood: PDP Demands BRF'S Resignation by Saipro(m): 10:42am On Jul 16, 2011
Sorry for coming onto this thread late. In my opinion, PDP has just shot itself in the foot. I mean, year after year, flooding persists in the PDP governed Northern states yet the end isn't in sight to the problem. Why don't they step down on account of ineptitude?

By the way, dumping the entire country in the ocean would barely affect sea levels. Back to the boardroom boys! Scheme up plausible political innuendo. Rather than look stupid on air (which PDP is apparently good at). Word!
RomanceRe: Facebook? The Couple? The Boss? by Saipro(m): 11:45pm On Jul 13, 2011
It's truly none of my biz but I can't help myself - I've gotta let it out: that's a really weird way to grieve; unless the interval is all warped . . . .
CelebritiesRe: Oba's Publicly Beaten Wife Dies 13 Months Later (Renal Failure) by Saipro(m): 3:49pm On Jul 13, 2011
Above all, may her soul rest in peace. It's really a shame to hear she's late - regardless of the circumstance. Last time I followed up on her case, she seemed rather young & vibrant. It hurts when we lose people of the cadre who ought be helping with the building of the nation

"

I hope you really don't mean it the way it sounds *winks*

Anyway, just pulling your leg. But really, you & tpia @ should take the horseplay elsewhere. Especially tpia@: you seem like the aggressor here (no pun meant)
PoliticsRe: Boko Haram Robs Two Northern Banks And Gives Money To The Poor by Saipro(m): 3:13am On Jul 10, 2011
Now we enter the foyer. Battle zone 2011. Deplorable acts with great sentimental value. Pervasive acts with heroic reviews. And it gets better - this new antic will have drones flocking in to enlist by the thousands - all voluntary. And you didn't believe in syndicated crime aside those perpetuated in government . . . .
Christianity EtcRe: Richest Pastors In Nigeria: Prophet T.b. Joshua And The Scoan Hit Back by Saipro(m): 5:32pm On Jun 18, 2011
It's easy to loudmouth. Just as easy to justify one's utterances. Allegations & counter-allegations. Before we get too far carried away, won't it be nice to get the facts straight.

Our pastors are no doubt rich. But by how much - and to what extent (cash only?). What's the yardstick? Who's the richer? Who's the richest?
PropertiesRe: Is It Financially Wise To Have Your Own Home? by Saipro(m): 4:03pm On Jun 18, 2011
Since you MUST live in a house, why not as well own it? You don't - when it threatens to do you in! The hidden costs of building one's own house can be alarming. So much that building projects take up to twice or more the allotted period. If ever completed.

If you however can build one (or more, as my comments are directed towards people of honest AND moderate means), by all means do. The "goods" outweigh the "bads". But beware, it's destroyed many a family's fortune. And future.

My advise (from experience)? Careful planning. And na dis I go take end am - na God o!
RomanceRe: Inter-tribal Dating Between Yoruba And Igbo: A Good Sign for Naija's Future! by Saipro(m): 3:09pm On Jun 18, 2011
On a lighter note, I belong to the "old school" so while it might not be technically (nor even logically) sound, I favour conservation within the tribe. Let Ibo man marry after his own kind and Yoruba likewise (aren't guys ignoring the other tribes a bit too much? I'd be offended if I were Tivi).

Our ancestors chose this mode of in-breeding to avert fundamental issues that might otherwise arise from "mixing". Heck, it was ok back then for siblings to marry each other. This is not reason enough to look down on those who marry from outside the hold. Do what is applicable to your peculiar (unique) circumstance. And let the rest of us live in peace!

Enough of the beef. I figure the reason for starting the thread was to promote unity. And have a view on the author's take.

Now it's about high-stakes, high-rollers, who scores best, who scores the most & who's masterly of humiliating the female gender. These are things to be ashamed of. Rather, for lack of wisdom, you brag about sexploits. Shame on the lot of you. We're all human. The environment you grow up in determines a whole lot more than your genetic stereotyping.

I've met some really good Ibo women. Same goes for Yoruba. As well for Hausa, Fulani & Ibibio. The major delineator for the most was upbringing & environmental factors. Don't come here to brandish ego in the name of claiming to know what you know not.

Indeed, before anything else you may be, wanna be or considered to be, you're a human being . . . .
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by Saipro(m): 2:11pm On Jun 18, 2011
Been following this thread for months. Not bad, if I can say so myself. Why would anyone want to pay for Infinity pay per view? We should be glad their channels are scrambled. No need to make excuses for watching mostly repeated-to-the-death programmes. Not to mention the really poor quality of some channels.

Anyway, if it's any consolation to the company, they actually aired a number of good shows. Initially. If they hit us with some good strategy - like DsTV does by broadcasting FTA every now & then, we may truly be tempted to get their boy. Until then . . . .
RomanceRe: Wot Kinda Insult Is This? by Saipro(m): 7:27am On May 29, 2011
Frankly, what are you asking for dude? Advise on how to approach the situation? Damage control? An excuse/support from boys to rationalize your next course of action? Don't just sit on the sidelines & read replies. Let us know!

My take: your girl lacks tact (may extend to lack of wisdom too). She might have felt it proper to not hide stuff from you (technically right) including the wort between her & the suspicious ex. But he's the ex & had his shot; why relive the good times?

For you: did you have to sit there & face the torture of them reliving it? This thing about being a man is knowing when to cut crap short. Your airing feelings here shows you're agrieved. Put a stop to it. Or take a walk next time.

Capper: the lesson isn't just for the guys. Learn from it ladies.

I've no experience in the subject-matter so I'll keep shut. I'll say this as well: I'd advise you guys to be careful in shooting off your mouths on this forum. Your post-names don't conceal your identities as much as you'd think

CelebritiesRe: Olu Jacobs Destroys Igbo Culture And Tradition — Pete Edochie by Saipro(m): 10:15am On Aug 28, 2010
Who cares whether Olu Jacobs is from the moon or Pete Edochie has an ego the size of Mars? The man has aired his opinion. Let him be. He's made a point. Whether justified or not is another issue on its own. And whatever Edochie truly meant, he only knows. Don't go surprising him telling us he really meant - when he didn't say so.

And I'm with the guys who believe the script writers should've done a bit more research into the theme of the movie. Regarding Olu Jacobs' mis-pronunciation of some names, what can I say? He's not Ibo though he could put in some more effort. For all you know, that's perhaps his best form you're berating. Besides, what's the point in arguing on their behalf?

FamilyRe: Marriage: Is It About Making Babies Or About The Couples? by Saipro(m): 1:50am On Aug 28, 2010
What's with you guys?! For the record, I can both read and write (type as well); meaning I well understand the topic. Nonetheless, I know a good deal of marriages are for neither reason. You can't really fault that in this materialistic world we live in. For some, rather than for the money, it's for the prestige, fame, scandal or what have you. For others, it's quite the opposite - to save face. I've as well seen people marry out of pity. Not to mention contrived and coerced marriages. I guess you're familiar with word betrothal too (let's break it down to a non-consent, criminal pre-marriage in many instances).

I'm with everyone on both sides of the deal - kids here, companionship (and sex!) over there; my Bible however tells me something in Genesis 1:28
I'm quick to notice as well that the aforementioned verse says nothing of marriage being a requisite (though a given). And don't even start having thoughts of thinking I'm suggesting immorality or all the other proclivities you guys are given to. [Some Bible scholars argue the first marriage had taken place before the commandment to be "fruitful and multiply" anyway]

One more thing. Your motive doesn't really matter: so long as you've got extended family yet you're without children and have been married a long while (in Nigeria), God help you ,
CelebritiesRe: World Tallest Teenager by Saipro(m): 8:39pm On Feb 22, 2010
So we start the name-calling trend again. Too predictable on Nairaland. Anyway, the girl is tall. Agreed. Wherever did this notion of attraction, marriage eligibility & what is the norm (or not) come in?

C'mon focus guys, focus!
CelebritiesRe: World Tallest Teenager by Saipro(m): 8:16pm On Feb 22, 2010
Okay. So you say girls love tall guys to distraction. How cool! And what a shame too since I'm under 6'. Whatever.
I'm happily married; it would be such a waste to grow any taller now (if I could, though no telling if my wife'd be delighted). My son perhaps . . . .

Tall ballers are pretty cute, based on their 5-, 6- or 7-figure earnings. It's true money won't buy you love but it sure increases your bargaining power. Or so I've always thought. I imagine those athletes won't be so cute without their paychecks. Their public (and pubic) images would plummet and their egos might even suffer freefall.

On the other hand, I do recall a Newton's 4th law of motion (remember? " . . . . force of thrust, angle of dangle, . . . ." ). Excuse my profanities. I also recall having heard a guys "thing" is somewhat proportional to the length of his pinkie (also a function of his height). This is getting pretty exciting! And just in case you're not lusting after super duper tall guys yet, let's put some icing on the cake.

I saw Madonna (the singer, actress) remark on live TV, " . . . his thing is long, kinda like a ballers". Aren't we just drooling?Talk of an attraction. Think of the action. All that pain. Pure ecstasy!

I guess I'll quit here lest I get nauseous. I'm a guy but I can't imagine ANYONE being attractive at about 7ft (not a case of sour grapes). I've often considered such aberrations a sign of disease though I realise some mothers truly do 'av 'em. Break your neck merely to catch a glimpse of their face. Way too cute! I'm out.

CelebritiesRe: This Is One Annoying Website: RamseyNouah.cjb.net by Saipro(m): 6:39pm On Feb 22, 2010
I really should keep it shut on this one but can't really seem to help myself. The site's somewhat fairly done (assuming she's an amateur).

On the other hand, not too many guys would subscribe to a thing like that, seeing our flair lies with the opposite sex.

Anyway, not to talk outta context, not too bad a site. One more thing - old post. Why am I doing this anyway.
FamilyRe: Who's More Important In A Marriage? The Husband Or The Kids? by Saipro(m): 4:49pm On Dec 14, 2009
Female dominated post. Amusing. And you'd think guys'd come out of the woodwork to protest the mere existence of the thread. Those who stick their necks out get 'em chopped off, someone succinctly said. But I'll do just that - stick my neck out.

I want you ladies to stop the catfight. These pages may conceal your identities but the "show" you've put up ain't dignifying; tells too much. You're women - embodiments of exquisiteness. Stop it.

You've as well lost focus of the thread. Let's get back on track.

I may have subject bias (I'm a husband) but do let me clear my throat

1) Without a husband, there'd be no wife; why knock it?
2) Wasn't your marriage the unifying type? You mean you'd gladly junk your identity?
3) Come to think of it, aren't those kids his (don't even let me think otherwise)
4) I'd love to see your response when he favors the kids over you
5) Unguarded responses give insight to the kind of marriage you have
6) Who're you kidding? Would it even be an issue if you were childless?
Before you challenge my bias, check the 5th point ,

@ the topic poster, why start a post which pits spouses against one another? Remember, in a burning house, it's man against man.

Lastly, this ain't sane. You really don't want your husband competing with your kids for affection.
Prove me wrong but the nature of affection between spouses is worlds apart from that between parent & child. Why compare? But those are merely personal views ,
