TheBigUrban2: You ignored all the other points to defend blueband butter? Are you that local?

You also forget that your kitchen can reach the same temperature if you lock all the windows and doors on a sunny day in Nigeria. Its even worse if you have a sun roof/skylight in your kitchen.


#Say no to blueband.
#refrigerate your butter

adrainuche: I know this may sound ridiculous, i dnt study in naija and i.meet my GF on a social networking site, we got along and when i came to naija for holiday we started dating. I knew she fell for it seriously because when i was about to go back to school she started acting strange. This seems irrelevant we are from two diffrent backgrounds., she is scared what if after waiting.for me my parents refuses to allow us walk the walk. She also scared of what if i change my mind after she has waited fir so long am graduating next year tjo i intend taking another degree in Newcastle the following year. So i told her she could date another boy, i usually send her money from time to time and we quarrel because of this offurtunate situation weve found ourselves, i dnt want to be selfish by telling her to wait when am not entirely sure of myself

Deadline day saw the Premier League reach a record €1 billion spend on transfers this summer.

The huge numbers were led by Manchester United, whose huge outlay of €200 million on seven players was the highest single-window spend yet by a British club.

It included a €75m deal to recruit winger Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid, the highest fee ever spent by any British team, and a late loan deal for Monaco's Radamel Falcao.

The Colombia international sealed a sensational switch to Old Trafford after a long summer of intense interest from the likes of Carlo Ancelotti's Champions League winners and Premier League holders Manchester City.

According to analysis from Deloitte’s Sports Business Group, summer spending is up by almost €250m on 2013's total of €796m, which was at the time €164m higher than ever before.

"This summer transfer window is one of records," said Dan Jones, a partner in the Sports Business Group.

"There are a number of factors contributing to this summer's spend, including the showcase for global talent a World Cup provides. However, one of the main drivers of Premier League spending continues to be the increased resources clubs now have as a result of improved broadcast deals.

"Last season the average Premier League club received around €31.6m more in central broadcast distributions than they did in 2012-13, which helped fuel a record transfer window last summer. We are again seeing Premier League clubs use these resources to contribute to what is a new record this summer."

ammyluv2002: Lol....he will learn from you guys. I just pray they don't bench him sha

urhoboman: *singing*
"Ladder ladder ladder ehh!!! Follow the ladder to heavennn!!!
OP, this ur post is kinda confusing, na only "ladder" "ladder" "ladder" I dey see. Too much ladders

ammyluv2002: Yes o! I'm happy Falco is in Manchester United. I can now sleep with my eyes closed tonight



I love my club

urhoboman: that is why u need to break the ice. She already knows what shez into. She might be in denial. U need to make the move and nuture her to express the feelings inside her hrt. I knw u don't want to complicate ur frndship with her, but believe me, if eventually she decides to settle down with anoda man, you will blame urself and make her ur enemy. U won't b able to take it.

RayMcBlue: ...

@Op, I can only see 9 reasons, where are the rest? Your topic specifically stated "1001" reasons, no? So how come?

ammyluv2002: I'm honoured, thanks *blushing*

Durst: Hello, I'm a regular nairalander but I had to use this my dormant account to make this post for some personal reasons.

I met this girl in school and we've been very close friends for months. I never actually had plans to date her or suchlikes. I just wanted us to be friends, Nothing more. Nevertheless, the unexpected happened! We started catching feelings for each other. I didn't see that coming until now.
We got very close that we share and discuss everything bothering each other, we are always seen together, notwithstanding we're in different departments. She makes it so obvious that she likes me and some of her other male friends have wrongly assumed we're already in a relationship. We spend so much time together that it's rarely difficult to see me when there is free period without her with me or nearby.
I haven't been in a relationship for a long time cos I don't just date any girl. There used to be a lot of female folks in my life until I got quite close with her. She's blinded me from noticing other girls and I'm kinda glad about it - I'm now more focused and I don't look out to impress other girls now, we're free with each other so no need for such.
The heartbreaker is that, while we were conversing, I talked about her she makes me feel and she said she feels the same "but" we can't date. She said she's afraid it would destroy our friendship! That her attitude would drastically change and we wouldn't enjoy the relationship. I never actually asked her out but I guess she felt that would come sooner, not later.
How do I convince her? How do I make her understand that nothing would change when we become exclusive? I'm dispirited cos I don't feel this way with any other girl I've met. She stands out, She's the embodiment of the kind of woman I would wanna be with.

Thanks for reading, it's quite long but I need all the help I can get, hence, the explicit narration.

Baddo101: "womanologist" in d house...lol..

sholay2011: I agree with most of your points. Your writeup is quite organised. Thumbs up.




We're getting there sha, I believe. But my own problem with our storylines or stories is not just that they are predictable (many hollywood movies are, especially book adaptations and biopics), but the way they are told matters more. You can give the same log lines to two scriptwriters and the scripts they would produce would be VERY different, in many aspects, and one script could be quite good and the other...trash.

That's what I'm still trying to unravel and learn as a scriptwriter. 'Silver Linings Playbook' could have been the usual romcom, but the way it was told made us connect deeply with the characters, laugh and cry with them, and even feel their pain. We need to sharpen how we relate our stories in aspects such as dialogue, symbolism, artistic descriptions, interweaving of characters, arrangement etc.



And please sir, we get genres for nollywood.

tonyayo1: O.P, nice write up...

But my question is, why do Nigerians judge NW using our bad products. You're not the first to say it and you can never be the last, I've retired from criticising the old NW because me and you can't change it or will I say change them the producers, 'cause they know that they suck but refuses to change 'cause they're making their money and we the Nigerians are the ones patronising them, the producers that understand what making good movies is all about diverts to new NW, the examples you gave about storytelling, character wise etc are all 100% visible in old NW movies, but can hardly be seen in new NW, you can't see aki and paw paw playing those roles you made mentioned in new NW, the people that doesn't know what is happening in the industry are the ones criticising them 'cause they're still watching crappy movies. If you really want to know the people that criticises NW thinking they know something about the industry, just ask them whether they know O.C Ukeje, Anthony Monjero etc the Actor that were made via new NW. The only way to stop these mediocrity in the industry are 1., we should stop watching any direct to video movies tagged old NW, which is impossible or 2., building upto a thousand cinemas in Nigeria, then you'll see how the crappy movie will die off instead of having 99% crappy movies, it'll be the other way round.

mumumugu: stop complaining, be the change

try venturing into movie industry to effect a change.

doctorofgirls: Following a current bane of studies done on various forums ,I must say nairaland girls show an indepth and inordinate high level of intellectualism ranging from girls like mariolae and farano and many others , if u keep it up, the nobel price is ur limit

iamsegsy: Most people don't av d deep understanding of the scripture dey read lyk novels dey don't study it.

Jack65: What you just posted are mere conjectures that has absolutely nothing to do with the verse quoted. When some verse doesn't make sense you people always come with same type of excuses.

pesty100: oh! That's ur opinion that doesn't change the fact that am cracking up ( and I don't even understand what you just wrote)
