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.

There are some churches that like to destroy marriages. Too bad.

Be in complete control of my little life.

Nnena, it's funny how people aren't responding because we've had a similar game in the past. welcome to Nairaland. I propose that the game should be constructed such that you will only be able to post just 4 words at a time. Does everyone agree?

Enigma, does "none of the above" have a real name?

Good words, fabian. I'm sure that michelin89 would appreciate more posts along that line - to help her understand her mother better and give her practical tips she can apply to the situation.

You'll be surprised. Most people will not read beyond the first post. Some people will read "it is a trick" then go ahead to fil the form to find out what the trick is!

Isn't it frustrating that after spending hours preparing posts for your blog, each post is often only seen by a handful of people? Doesn't it seem like a waste to have so much good stuff and yet very little traffic? You labor on your posts for hours (or minutes), and yet you have to spend even more hours or money promoting your blog! No, there has to be a better way!

Isn't it amazing how, when a topic is posted on this forum, it gets instant traffic, especially if it is linked from the home page? Wouldn't you like to have some of that traffic for yourself? Well, congratulations, because we have launched a content syndication programme that will enable you to get more eyeballs to read your articles and also boost the traffic on your blog or website.

When you submit your blog or website to this programme, it would be monitored daily by the Nairaland staff members (including the administrator). When a topic is being discussed on the forum and a post on your blog is relevant to the discussion, it will be reproduced in full (or in part) on the forum, with a prominent link back to the source, so people can visit your blog after reading your syndicated article.

To submit your website or blog to our content syndication programme, just reply this post and post a link to your blog or website, and you will be added to our private list of monitored blogs. So simple, isn't it?

Perhaps bani is so pessimistic because he has experienced what Seye wants to go into?

I'm trying to confirm that the Face of Festac website actually won the awards claimed on their site. No luck so far ...

We have [b]hundreds of women [/b]on this forum. How come only two of them have found the time to respond to my 'misrepresentation' of their beliefs on this thread? There's nothing keeping them from speaking out, is there? Aren't they active on other topics? Why not this one?

Not unless she can handle it if the man says "no" like you women love to!

nferyn:
Actually, I don't

What elphem is trying to say is that there are a lot of Nigerian women in high places especially in the field of education. For example, the vice chancellor of Covenant University is a woman.

nferyn: I ignored your questions because you are not a woman and I am not a woman, therefore the questions you are asking may not be relevant at all to women! Or what do you think?

damygurl: Equality? Give me a break; women do not want equality; they just want to be happy/loved/fulfilled. Would you like to be the head of your future family? Ask men out and face rejection? Be drafted into the army when there are wars? Be unable to bear children or know for sure if your partner's children are yours?

Give me a break, there will be no equality!

Because most of you ladies can't handle rejection!

Will you feel better if I tel you that I also fell for it? (remember, the original link was sent by Esconedge and I had no idea that it was a prank when I first posted it)

So I've changed the link and now the details go to my mailbox instead.

If nana had been offended then I'd have felt that we were too blunt.

That seems to me like a smart decision. it's your only way out.

Nice review, Chxta, well done. Now all I have to do is try to figure out what match you're talking about exactly!
