ROFLMAO. . . And your hubby fell in line right? LOL

It is normal in any culture if you let your husband get away with it. Men like to take liberties and you have to let them know what is acceptable and what isn't. Period. Once the man is used to this however, it will become a battle of wills to get him to change his behaviour.

Just tell him the truth and explain why you lied, that you did not want to lose him. Make him understand that he owes your family no obligations etc.

@ Sisi, All this yoyoing with IDs has got to stop young lady. What happened this time?

@ Topic,

Men (and women) never finish for outside now? If he can cheat, so can I. Plus there are dildos and vibrators. No sweat.

I think its because there's no "H" in the Yoruba language so people try to compensate on way or the other.

Says who? We have "H" in our alphabet. It is pronounced "he"

[b]H[/b]everybody should stop making fun of my tribe [b]h[/b]or [b]h[/b]else [b]h[/b]I will [b]h[/b]explode. [b]H[/b]Is [b]h[/b]it [b]h[/b]our fault that we cannot differentiate when to [b]h[/b]add "H" [b]h[/b]or not? [b]H[/b]It was passed down from generation to generation. LMAO.

chrissiebe:
am not surprised that we gat lots of beyonce haters on here!!! it's a trend in the internet world!!!!!

to answer ur qsts, vic has her own style so does bee, there are days when vic looks a mess and there are days when bee looks a mess, their senses of style is diff.
Forget that her mom dresses her, thats bullshit atleast she doesnt pay millions to stylists to make her look good!
and abt the singing, have u heard them both sing, u guys are just delusional!!!! Go to bee's concert and go to vic's concert and tell me who's more talented, It's like comparing a rat and a lion!!!mshwww

In my opinion, bee dresses way better than vic, seen them both casually, arun oju ko now! Y'all just hating! PERIOD!

It's sad!!!

What is there to hate her for? This is not a thread for singing talents. As clear as it is that Beyonce is a better singer than Victoria Beckham, that is the exact way that it is clear that Victoria is a way better dresser and has a better fashion sense than Beyonce. Victoria is nowhere near Beyonce's league when it comes to vocal skills, but she is light years ahead of Beyonce in the fashion stakes and no matter how much you are a Beyonce wannabe does not change plain facts. Beyonce aint no fashion icon, Victoria is.

Ben20001:
my teacher in the primaries made me understand that the young ones of a goat are called kids

ROFLMAO. . .they are, but like many things, the meaning has evolved. Almost the same as when I was little, Pussy meant a cat and Cock meant a male chicken and D.I.C.K was simply a name. LOL

KarmaMod:
Should I be surprised that majority that are against feeding babies outside have also expressed that they arent keen on having kids themselves?

Im Not.

Iwo lo mo o. You are not what? Keen on having kids?

OMO IBO:
aunty saphire, abeg, call a spade a spade!
whether socially retarded, socially repugnant or whatever phrase you guys choose to beautify it with. it's still absurd especially when there's a baby involved.

secondly, how can you agree she used the wrong phrase? i dont see where she may have hinted or even suggested that but you've gone ahead to say that.

abeg, if we dey take sides make we sometimes 'shine our eyes'.

aunty saphire, no pun intended. me and you be like 1 and 2.

Look Papa Nnamdi, I clearly stated that that way my personal opinion and not Spiked as my definition of  the term "socially retarded" is narrower than hers. My eyes dey shine well well. Irrespective of whatever you say, I still think breastfeeding a baby in the full glare of the public is in bad taste. You keep on going about a crying baby in a supermarket or some other place. Every mother knows that babies need to be fed regularly (or at certain intervals), that is why many mothers express their breast milk into bottles for those very public places when it is inappropriate to whip out a breast. And since it is the same breast milk, the nutrients are the same. Clearly, many women do this or else we would perpetually have breasts thrust in our faces all day everyday.

OMO IBO:
I may have just cracked your views on this whole breast feeding thing. While you are going on about ‘the right thing to do’ i’m referring to ‘what’s (already) happening’ and how it is almost impossible to ignore a hungry crying baby.

if the above is right, then I’d like to inform you that things happen sometimes. I’m sure a good majority of the women who breast feed their babies in public have no other choice but to breast feed their babies. If it happens to be in public then so be it.

No loving mum will let her baby cry continuously while she looks for a private place

A "loving" and responsible mum would have come prepared. Yes, there are times that things do not work out, but some women breastfeed whether it is an emergency or not. How does one explain that obnoxious woman always breastfeeding on my bus?

@ Ruby, obviously, if there was a blanket over the breast, I won't even complain much. But believe me, there are so many women who do not bother with this (obviously, some do, but not all).

Anyway sha, everyone has their own views on the matter. You guys think it is fine, I think it is repugnant.

folkzy:
how is it ridiculous? most mothers breast-feed their baby outiside if there's a need for it n it ain't absurd or anything.

Also how is that socially retarded? socially retarded and breast-feeding can't be in the same sentence. Hence, i rest my case.

Says who? ^{[I just saw that socially retarded girl that was expelled from school breast-feeding her baby in front of the White House] I think that qualifies as a coherent sentence. Don't you?}

OMO IBO:
please tell me this is a joke. please. this has to be a joke.

so breast feeding a hungry baby is retarded?

She did not say "retarded", she said "socially retarded". There is a difference between both. However, I agree that that was the wrong phrase to use, but I believe that Spiked meant something along the lines of many people view breast feeding in public as (socially) repugnant ^{(I may of course be wrong as to her meaning )}.

Of course not. Nothing that empowers (encourages or praises) women ever stands out or appeals to you.

are they Nigerians?

Yes (at least two of them are Nigerian. One is speaking Yoruba to the other). How wmbarrassing is that?

[quote author=Ebony-Silk link=topic=228591.msg3422960#msg3422960 date=1233711640]If he can speak correct English and pidgin English, it's so darn sexy. It's like French in my ears.
I mean, one minute he's speaking solid, orgasmic literate English, then next. . . .pidgin, like he owns the best of both worlds. oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But if he can't speak english and na pidgin he dey speak all the time, mehn, he best comot from my face [/quote]LOL. Okay, I know I do not do the guy thing, but I cannot imagine anything designed to just turn one off than switching to pidgin in the throes of passion. I cannot imagine being in bed having sex, then the guy starts to jabber some broken English ("You fine no be small. E don tay wey I wan tell you say. . . ). I will shove the Arrow away. French. . . ooooh yes. Pidgin. . . no, No, Goodness NOOOO!

Lmao!! Awww, you will be surprised how many girls go all dreamy eyed to baby I don dey check you out for long time now no be small thing ooooh!

Seriously speaking though. . . I mean take his time with his English. I think the problem here is he is not conversing as fast as he would like to. . . all that taking his time to gather his thoughts and whatnot. I'd rather a guy spoke in slow and steady GOOD English than whiplash inducing Pidgin.

TPTB knows better than to ta si mi .

I felt like a change is all.  

I am yet to know one such person. Like Karma said, he should go and dust his English books o. Talking too slow will make him look like one omugo and if he has the misfortune to let his nervousness develop into a stutter, that is a double whammy right there.

Sisikilll:
Take your time, no need to rush your speech. . . This isn't a race. As long as you are well mannered and a gentleman all around i.e no alrightsir behavior, I doubt she'll mind that you aren't fluent.

Are you kidding me? Abeg jo. It is okay to encourage somebody, but we all know that tabon tabon is a no no with so many of us. And abeg how many educated well mannered (middle to upper class) women will give someone who is speaking pidgin English a second glance? It will take a lot for me not to feel "insulted" ^{(interprete loosely)} if some guy (well mannered or not) walked up and started yarning "Abeg fine girl, na wetin be ya name? I like you no be small" or something similar. There is a time and a place for Pidgin English and "toasting" someone is not that right time (not unless that is the only medium that person understands). Rather than that resort to your native language (or not) .

Val Kilmer wasn't so bad jor. I liked him in that "The Saint" and he was ok in "Top Gun" too.

Apart from her fantabulous boobs, what else?

I like her (not her acting o). I think she is hot (well, pre-baby that is).

KarmaMod:
boob sef, there's better.

I dont really consider her much of an actress. She's Hollywood's token "black" woman for movies that want to see "diverse" only cos she doesnt look like the typical black woman

Other than "Losing Isiah", she's pretty wack acting wise.

Well, that is probably because she actually isn't "black". Like Obama, she is mixed race (every white reject jumps on the black wagon and of course is accepted by the black race). And yes, she has no exceptional acting skills of note, but the thread said "Actors/Actresses You Love or Just Plain Admire" and I lovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeee Halle.

What is the meaning of "arun oju ko now"?

I cannot provide a literary interpretation, but it in effect means that it is glaring (or clearly visible to the eye etc).

If this really happened, Okocha is a prick and I hope he is sued for every penny he has got. Normally, I would have said that Etim Esin should not have submitted himself for the search, but in that bleeping backward country, people would have taken that as an indication of guilt. I hope Etim does not listen to any pleas or apologies to make him withdraw his suit. People need to be taught that there are consequences to their foolhardy actions.

Damn extortionists, they should have asked for a public apology first before monetary compensation. I wouldn't pay them a kobo.

but i stil remind her wot she told herself,i dnt have anytin 4 her anymore cos
im tied down 2 a yoruba girl smwher now, i wish her d best anyway

Is it me? How is this a rags-to-riches romance story? At best this would be a "Law of Karma" (or a no-condition-is-permanent) story.

I live Essex but why player hate even though i live in Peckham, i can decide to live at Mile 2 if it pleases me, come on grow up and react to the thread like other sensible ones have done.

Let me guess, in a dump like Dagenham. Yep, you are right., you can live under the bridge if it pleases you. I have reacted to the part of the thread that I felt necessary to. But since you insist, I am of the opinion that if some guys feel that Nigerian girls do not make good wife material one for some dodgy reason or the other, that is their prerogative and frankly, I don't give a toss one way or the other. ^{(Is that better? )}

I dont think Clooney was bad, it was the script that was garbage. (He has the Bruce Wayne ego) I mean seriously, Arnold as Freezer? Cant believe george even signed on to that shit.

Abeg the man was abysmal. He too wanted to be a superhero. He should have done a "Greta Garbo" and retired after that disaster.

“I grew up upper class. Private school.”

“My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons, but I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
-------------beyonce

but see who's talking, wasn't her mum's clothing line was launched through her?

This is so old news. And for those who doubt she said anything like this, it was done in her interview with Elle magazine. You can find the interview here: http://www.elle.com/Entertainment/Cover-Shoots/R-B-Singer-Beyonce-Knowles-Known-as-Sasha-Fierce-Listen-To-Beyonce-Hot-New-Album/The-Liberation-of-B3

When I first read it, I thought she was a little shit to say such crap and I still think so. She seems to forget that the world is privy to how her parents marriage was on the verge of hitting the rocks because of the desire and ambition to push her to success. She needs a friggin reality check. If people like the Jacksons had not paved the way, she would not have had the opportunity she has. At least they were not friggin drug dealers like her Arrow of a husband.

How do u get along with naija peeps on this forum since u aren't a Nigerian?
