Why is a snake found with pictures in it's belly? For goodness' sake, because it swallowed the pictures!

Isn't that so obvious? you don't know that snakes sometimes swallow various objects?

Judge for yourself whether Jay Jay Okocha and Obafemi Martins are as good as the nominated African players ...

Hello alheri and Michellej, thanks for sharing.

'Tell us About Your Marriage' is a thread where the married members of this forum can tell us all about their marriages or read the stories shared by other married people.

I am single but I look forward to learning a lot from the engaged and married members of the forum. Thanks!

21sins: Your blog is good, but where is the content?

vista: Yes, you have a lovely website, but there are no articles there!

Adesodgi has contacted me with the message:
"yeah you can,but its only going to be for a while.if it doesn't pay my a$$,then i'll have to call for your help again the excellency..."

Which means that the blog www.xanga.com/adesodgi is now on my list.

elphem, you cannot reframe the topic because you did not start the topic. Why don't you nominate your own entries instead of looking for ways to disqualify other peoples' entries?

I have learnt to be a bit more tolerant of people's opinions. For example, I can now understand why girls are desperate to be disvirgined when they are young ... I just can't accept it!

Because those people that are buying the body parts and using them in rituals also think the spirits are real. The priests are criminals and they have no qualms about kiling innocent people just to make their clients believe that what they are doing is real.

Sure thing, goodguy.

Typical quote from a Nigerian woman:
"yo as for me, if i kinda make more than my boo, i'll cut back my hours, spend it in the spa, go shopping, invent new dishes, shoo he better make more than me, let him pamper me, spoil me, ah i'm working part-time now and i hate it

besides i like when my man is in control and takes responsibility. shoo i need to feel like a woman

after i go through hell every month, carry a baby for 9 months, learn how to cook, take care of the kids, keep the house neat , and all that good stuff. and all men do is wat sef?

then i'll now go to work 9-5 and to top it off now earn more than him. na craze

now if its cause of condition thats a different case but if i had a choice.....shoo"

They die because they are old or sick or terribly injured in an accident.

All right, thank you. I'm a male chauvinist pig and you're not. Thank you very much!

Equal opportunity makes sense to me, but equality does not. There is a saying that no two fingers are equal. Even among the men, there is no equality.

Equal opportunity makes sense, but what you're really asking for is more opportunities for women. I don't know; I don't see myself as someone who has denied women opportunities. For example, on this site, you are allowed to join whether you're a man or woman and women are treated with a little bit more attention, and yet for every 100 men we have only 43 women.

The only problem I have with Direct On PC is that none of their customers have anything good to say about them!

Are you sure that you shouldn't look for a way to obtain access to the NITEL IP Broadband service?

Damygurl, as a feminist, what exactly do you want? Do you want to cut off your frontware and grow a man's organ and become equal to a man, or are you simple asking for a little more respect?

Sexton: I can't find the articles on your site!

bijorium: Lovely blog; I can see that you're into inspirational posts with a Christian focus. Keep it up; I'll definitely be going through your archive to see what posts can be syndicated right away!

Hunter: Wow, I already know your site, but I'm glad you've submitted it. I haven't been there is a while. - bad of me!

That was so mean - what if someone got arrested or lynched by a mob in retaliation for the 'baby killing'?

I remember when I was in OAU-Ife. Great Ife; great!

If your mother and brother make you so mad, how do you know that you'll get along with your boyfriend (future husband)?

I think it's the desperate look in their faces, plus the accent they use when speaking. In addition, the fact that 1 out of every 4 black men or women is a Nigerian makes it even more likely that someone you suspect to be a Nigerian will turn out to be one!

I'm happy today because the only problem I'm facing is a tooth ache, which will be solved when I visit the dentist tommorrow! I've had worse!

It's possibly that they have decided to leave us permanently. They don't give a damn that you miss them!

If someone doesn't believe in God and you want to advice the person, it is foolish to use the bible. You need to communicate with her on her level, by identifying common ground. This means starting from where you both agree. It is foolish to be using the bible to preach to someone who doesn't believe the bible. Or what do you think?

I think it's good that your marriage has turned out ok despite the shaky start. 'Normal' courtship leading to marriage is over-rated, because no matter how long you date your partner will not show her true colors until you get married, anyway.

(It has been reported that some groups of people who got their husbands/wives picked by their parents seem to have happier marriages than those who choose their partners through 'love' and long trial period ...)

Now that you are married, I think the important thing is to make up your mind to make it work. That's all. Whether you are married by pregnancy or parents or love or God, the important thing is your will to make it an enjoyable ride for yourself and your wife.

Lucky husband! If it was not working you wouldn't have posted the way you did!

Read this blog entry by Aba Boy:
"I picked up this week’s ComputerWeekly magazine (27th September 2005) and on the third page was the pretty face of Ms. Ibukun Adebayo.

"The first thing that struck me was 'Wow a Nigerian guiding readers through this weeks issue of ComputerWeekly'. I am not sure about you guys, but there are a few times when I do ask the Almighty whether being a Nigerian was such a good idea. But today, I felt so proud to be one.

"Ibukun is the IT director at Turning Point. Turning Point is the UK’s leading social care organisation. The Chief Executive of Turning Point is another notable Nigerian, Lord Victor Adebowale.

"In the United Kingdom there are many Nigerians like Ibukun – hard working and gifted - Positive role models for our kids and women around the world. But guess what, we never get to hear about them. They don’t belong to the stock that we normally associate with the Nigerian person.

I am not in the UK, so I can't say much about Ibukun Adebayo and Lord Victor Adebowale. If you're based in the UK, and you know a thing or two about Turning Point, please let us know if you think these two Nigerians are worthy of being named as 'outstanding Nigerians'.

Nice blog, Ababoy. Thanks for your submission!

Each of your posts is well-written, and I especially like the one titled "Celebrating Nigerians" - in fact, I have already found a thread into which it fits.

I want more blogs! More, more, more.
