To the comment generally my reply?I LOVE YOU SERUBAWON
Tell madam that u have a bullseye target on your back, say if she Bleep up I ll just snatch u one tiime

Hmmmm.... 1st of all, in context, the "loun loun" means that the 1000 pieces of $1 bills dey too much, thus the bigger denominations to reduce the quantity of bills (something like that).

Secondly, (serubawon whispering), are you trying to get me killed or something? Olori is a very jealous female. If she sees what you wrote, she'll eliminate me first and then come looking for you. That'll be really ugly.

cdamsel: serubawon na only u come this party with all ur mind & did thaat which was assigned,but if e pass 1000 pieces of $1 bills I no mind ooo

My sincere sympathies to the friends of the departed. Losing a loved one (family or friend) is a very painful and depressing situation and sometimes it makes you lose faith in the purpose of our existence. However, it helps to look at it this way - Everything has a purpose and a reason in life. Most things we can't understand and never will. We believe she's in a place where she doesn't have to worry or bother about the mundane things of life. A place we don't really understand, but strive to get there after our journey on earth. It's a painful, but necessary evil. I never knew her, but I believe she would want her friends to celebrate her life ( no matter how short), instead of grieving for her. She obviously made a mark that won't be easily forgotten. So, let's thank God for the privilege of being a part of her life and vice versa. I truly pray she's happy and in the bosom of our Lord up there.

cdamsel: with a man cave as fine as that y won't she want in?me sef want ooo,make una just make space 4 ground for me me no even need chair sef,lol
Shey u dey understand my pigin so?

I hear you. Space full ground. I know say na losing battle I dey fight. I dey pay money, madam dey give orders. Haa!

deols: Thank you for that. Most of the stories I heard of geologists was about their unbelief.

I got scared for my lil bro who got admission to study it at two American Universities. He did not go eventually. My dad said he was too young, etc

But I had the thought that the rligion angle was a factor in not allowing him.

These days, it's not a problem. Your profession and religious beliefs are kept in 2 co-existing, but separate compartments. I know for a fact that it took millions of years to create the universe, I also believe that God created the earth in 6 days. How do I marry these together? Well, read your bible. One day in eyes of the Lord is like a thousand years and vice versa. Think about it. The millions of human years it took to create the earth and the universe, might just be the equivalent of 6 days in the eyes of our Lord. So, it's not really a problem, only if you dwell on it too much. The dinosaurs, did exist and that is scientific fact. The more you try to unravel the mystery, the more mysterious it becomes. Just like God.

I've learned early to not mix science with religion. It's like inviting a nervous breakdown. I'm a proud spirit filled xtian and will remain that way till I get to heaven. Shikena!!

bellong: If there is an award for "professional religious" people, geologists will be on the frontline to win it. The complexity and processes going on both on the surface and beneath the earth are enough to know it requires the working of a supreme being. Not even talking about other planets. Although science try as much as possible to give explanations for all the processes but it can't still explain where the original material for the big bang came from.

I am a geologist...and I believe in God. I remember my days in Ife during the history of the earth lesson. The lecturer bamboozed us with so many scientific theories and as a green horn with religious mind, I started throwing questions at the guy. When he got tired of my questions, he said I was not asking scientific questions

Hear, hear

@bellong. Do you still practice? I gave up long time ago and went into the banking sector to make money jare. Unfortunately, here in the states, getting a job as a geologist, without the required experience is like impossible. I lost the love for the profession long time ago and I don't regret it one bit either

deols: @bellong, I only caught the part where you called someone else a fellow geologist.

Do you geologists really get taught to not believe in God?

Now that question brings back memories. They don't actually teach us not to believe in God, but they definitely don't believe in the notion that the universe was created by a supernatural being somewhere. I remember GEO101 and this was like our 1st adventure into the creation of the universe. When it came to the discussion point, we had this SU lady with a very strong igbo accent and she challenged the professor saying the world was created by God in 6 days and that we were committing a sin by saying otherwise. The professor looked like he was going to have a stroke. He was so pissed off that someone had the 3rd world audacity to challenge the fact the the earth was made by a mixture of rocks and gases over a period of millions of years and they got into this unnecessary argument (which the student can never win). Long story short, she failed the class and had to take it again the next year, which sadly added an extra year to her program. The rest of us? well, we learned to keep our religious beliefs out of the lecture theater and behave like God didn't exist, until we left the class.

So, make your own deductions about that. It was pretty weird though. Those professors really didn't believe in the creation of the universe by God and who was I to say otherwise.

bellong: @Serubawon, fellow geologist...how's the preparation going? May heavens bless the union and make you both fruitful in all areas.

At long last, a fellow rock breaker. Preparations are going a bit slow, but that can't be helped. We have to wait till January and there is an issue with the kids schools, which we're trying to iron out. This is the part where I envy oyinbo people. They just go out and get hooked and that's it - Mr & Mrs Oyinbo don appear. Naija people? The whole village must know and then one lopsided individual who you never knew existed comes from nowhere, insisting that he/she has a say also. The naija part of it is the one driving me nuts right now. It's all worth it though.

@CC Yes, I said Gibbs. Don't know what these women have against the guy, but he's my personal person.

cdamsel: Lol @JB


@ser,lol @man cave

Yes, my man cave. A man deserves to have a place where he can experience peace with his chi. Since I can't have a TV in the room, I get my man cave. Guess what she says: "Your man cave is for both of us". What the hell is it a man cave for!? I kind of forgot how domineering you women like to be on us understanding guys. Well, what can i do, I love the woman. So, I'm done for.

My man cave, I can't wait.

This really isn't the place to come when you're hungry.

Afternoon everyone and HBD YPP. Not the one to be left out, here's my little contribution to the party. Enjoy!

oluchiokechi: Congrats Mr Seru. I ve been waitn seriously 4 dis day. I wish U well.

Thank you very much.

Joy4mi: Amen sir,
I promise not disappoint u cos u r my e-mentor(lol, i hope dere is a word like dat sha).
Its nt easy to be a pastor's wife o,i am praying for strength and wisdom to reach out to people.
May God see us thru. (amen)

Emi nikan tan. E-mentor ke? Well, I am flattered that you consider me to be a mentor and I pray that I will be able to live up to that reputation ( scary though).

As a pastor's wife, the Lord shall grant you the wisdom of Christ. The bible says that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy, understanding". The Lord shall grant you wisdom to exceed your husband's expectations and amongst your peers, you shall excel.

I look forward to hearing more encouraging testimonies.

[quote author=Efemena_xy]Haha!

I'm beginning to love the sound if your madam...more grease to her elbows

Oh, and before I forget - welcome to the Family Fun Room. [/quote]Why am I not surprised? Well, I have to run. Work calls. See ya

[quote author=Efemena_xy]^^ Lol!

Thanks, Sir Ser.

How's madam and the girls? Congrats on your forthcoming D-day [/quote]Everyone is fine o. Had a meeting with the realtor concerning the new house we want to build and I'm still trying to figure out how everyone gets their own rooms with a tv in it and madam refuses a tv in ours. It only makes my argument for my man cave stronger. I don't even have control over the shirts I wear. Women and their exercise of absolute power

[quote author=Efemena_xy]^^ Homeland - sounds like a gardening program? [/quote]You be my personal person

alutacontinua: Your head dey der!

I completely disagree. Gibbs is the bomb. Best team leader in the world and his unsmiling face is unique (that actually sounded kind of gay, didn't it?)

Wharefa, NCIS is my most favorite program anyday anytime.

Tinkybabe: All these talk of food is not fair on some people na..now I'm craving jollof rice and turkey this early momo


Morning house!!

@Serubawon,wonderful profile and I'm so happy for you on your imminent wedding,congrats..Read your post on "Nairalanders,tell us about your marriage" two years ago.Wish you the best.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Trust me, you're not the only one that got hungry from all this talk of food. Had to wake up in the middle of the night to satisfy a craving for jollof rice. Unfortunately, it didn't have the parry taste to it ( the burnt taste).

I think I already finished all the pizza

Yusphull: Serubaba yu r welcome to this brutal area-wey, may yu walk and never stumble and if yu must stumble yu stumble on wealth, good health and long life.....

Have fun in this hood......

I will try my best not to stumble the wrong way. Having fun already.

Royal Roy: You are too much brov.

Am just in your backyard. Hope we catch up in Houston soon enough.

Welcome to the fun room.

You never know RR, you never know. Thanks man

pickabeau1: bros... im male ooo

Yepa!!! I apologise and I am seriously corrected. As I said, I don't get out much. Some of it is due to old age also. My kids are doing great and keeping me on my toes. Thanksgiving is around the corner and I'm up and about. Thanks man.

salsera: @serubobo

Rules of the house, introduce yourself

I no dey fight - thats why i avoid politics section

Ok. I'm not one to break the rules of the house.

I'm serubawon. Male, Nigerian based in Houston TX. Was widowed for 9 years, but soon to be remarried to the most mysterious and beautiful creature in the universe aka - Olori. I have 3 wonderful kids ( mine and hers). Geologist by training, Project Coordinator by profession.

Serubawon was given to me in college by some mischievous friends of mine. It had something to do with me having too many girlfriends and intimidating other guys. Serubawon literally means " intimidation".

I'm immensely patient, extremely calm and very collected. I'm the resident relationship fixer since my friend's wives think I'm the only one with my head screwed on straight ( if only they knew).

I love my God, I love life and try my best to help my fellow man to the best of my abilities. I love iyan with efo riro. Love to read novels and watch movies.

Ok salsera, satisfied?
