Who is Bianca? A pop music star? Or do you mean Beyonce?

How many women, intelligent or not, are as beautiful as Beyonce? That is the right question to ask. Some of the almost 'flawless' beauties of this world (e.g. Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton) have had a lot of cosmetic surgery done on their bodies, so beauty can be bought as well as inherited. An intelligent woman is more likely to be rich enough to have surgery done to make her more beaituful, or afford the more expensive beauty treatments available.

My best movie is Star Wars 3. I really looked forward to watching the light sabre and force action and I definitely enjoyed it, inspite of the amusing flaws.

at the sight of my lover

They are my friends, and they value their privacy. I couldn't possibly give you their names or post their pictures, but I am definitely not lying. What could I possibly gain by lying about this issue?

One of the most beautiful married women I know is a medical doctor. I have a beautiful relative who is studying medicine at UNILAG. The top female students at my secondary school were as attractive as the others. Mike Adenuga's daughter is attractive (newspaper pic) and a Globacom Executive Director.

hot-angel: excellent response .

IAH: If there are few women who possess beauty and few who possess brains, then mathematically there'll be very few who possess both. So, technically, you and matrix are right.

But I don't think there's any negative correlation between beauty and brains, because all the smart women I know are also quite beautiful in my opinion. None of them is by any means ugly.

"Different couples (or groups) -- and even different individuals -- may have different ideas of what constitutes infidelity. For example, a person may not want his or her partner flirting with anyone else, may accept that but draw the line at petting, may be comfortable with their partner having only MouthAction, or may allow them sexual intercourse with others, or something in between; additionally, a person who identifies as heterosexual may accept his or her partner engaging in homosexual but not heterosexual acts with others, or vice versa."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infidelity

So in your response to CalabarMan's question, please make sure you indicate the type of infidelity you are concerned about. For most women, the following actions would be classified as infidelity:
[list][li]Professing love to another woman: Verbally or in writing (e.g. sending cards, love letters or romantic SMS)[/li]
[li]Any form of sexual touching or act, or planning/anticipation of such (e.g. steamy SMS, letters, phone calls.)[/li][/list]

Read this first: The Nigerian Police Force: How do you view them?

How can you suggest that rape is a call of nature? Rape is a crime punishable by life imprisonment and there is no excuse for it whatsoever.

According to [url=http://www.nigeria-law.org/Criminal%20Code%20Act-PartV.htm#Chapter%2030]Chapter 30[/url] of the Criminal Code Act of the Federal Republic of Nigeria:
[list][li]Any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman or girl, without her consent, or with her consent, if the consent is obtained by force or by means of threats or intimidation of any kind, or by fear of harm, or by means of false and fraudulent representation as to the nature of the act, or, in the case of a married woman, by personating her husband, is guilty of an offence which is called rape.[/li]

[li]Any person who commits the offence of rape is liable to [color=#880000]imprisonment for life[/color], with or without caning.[/li]

[li]Any person who attempts to commit the offence of rape is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years, with or without caning.[/li]

[li]Any person who unlawfully and indecently assaults a woman or girl is guilty of a misdemeanour, and is liable to imprisonment for two years.[/li]

[li]Any person who, with intent to marry or carnally know a female of any age, or to cause her to be married, or carnally known by any other person, takes her away, or detains her, against her will, is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for seven years.[/li]

[li]Any person who unlawfully takes an unmarried girl under the age of sixteen years out of the custody or protection of her father or mother or other person having the lawful care or charge of her, and against the will of such father or mother or other person, is guilty of a misdemeanour, and is liable to imprisonment for two years.[/li]

[li]It is immaterial that the offender believed the [underaged] girl to be of or above the age of sixteen years[/li]

[li]It is immaterial that the [underaged] girl was taken with her own consent or at her own suggestion.[/li][/list]

Even if a woman is naked and on your bed, you may not have sex with her without her consent. This is neither a joking matter or an issue that is subject to anyone's personal opinion. It is a terribly serious matter; both men and women should take it very seriously.

If you are a lady and you have been raped, report to a close friend then go together to a police station to submit your report. They will direct you to a hospital where doctors can examine you to collect [I]evidence[/I] and determine whether there has been:
[list][li]Recent Intercourse[/li][li]Evidence of forceful penetration[/li][/list]

This is not something to be touched with a ten foot pole, especially in these days when HIV is a major risk.

In other words, interact with men and women of the opposite sex on the Nairaland Forum and offline, too

What a funny statement, sage! Will trust prevent your partner from cheating?

Marilyn, don't listen to her joo. Join us and we'll promote you for free, at least on the Internet.

If she reads this she will be discouraged and when we try to interview her she'll reject it.

My lips are sealed!

So why don't we begin the game after I wear my sweater?

IAH: If it involves sexual relationship, then it won't be too nice for two close friends or relatives to have shared the same guy/girl before.

That is why some of us are campaigning against premarital sex. It makes things too complicated. It makes heartbreak inevitable.

How are we going to attract fans of Genevieve Nnaji if we keep yabbing her like this

[I]"Againstbabangida.com is a project by citizens of Nigeria, aimed at initiating action to stop Ibrahim Babangida from ever ruling Nigeria again."

"Our mission is to wage a civilized intellectual battle against dangers to true and virile democratic development in Nigeria, symbolized by Ibrahim Babangida."

"Some of the participants in the project, mostly former journalists, lawyers and the like, wish to remain anonymous. They fear possible reprisals from the vengeful Babangida and his cohorts on them or their families, as exploits of this web site is bound to take its toil on the cabal."

"One of our most potent tools is our newsletter, IBBWatch, which is intended to raise awareness among everyone interested in Nigeria's political development. Subscribe to the newsletter."[/I]

I think it's a really funny concept, though it is unlikely to have any impact. I have no opinion on whether or not IBB should be the next president, but these people do: www.againstbabangida.com


Funny concept, or what do you think?

.... so we locked the thread! (I can't bring myself to do it. It's just amusing that people keep posting)

What is "nuff said"? To prevent the moderator(s) from pestering you and/or removing your post, make sure you write to be understood. Make sure your posts are clear. I do not appreciate posts that are so obscure that only 1 out of 1000 people will understand.

The game in it's current form needs a little clarification. Must all the entries on the game rhyme with henrieta?

No be so. I believe the husband-wife relationship takes priority over all other relationships. Extended family members who advice you to keep secrets from your spouse are eventually going to break you up. It's not worth it. I believe that if I've not found a woman I can share secrets with to such a level, I should keep searching. That is why friendship and trust should come before romance.

When sex and physical attraction come first, it is easy to get married to someone that you don't trust. This makes the home a silent warzone instead of a place of comfort, which makes sexual infidelity seem justifiable, and the end result is that homes are broken. In short, we should spend more time building a stong foundation for our relationships and the issue of hiding something from your spouse will not arise.

As for unmarried partners, I have said it before, and I'll say it again. Any commitment between a man and a woman that doesn't involve marriage is a mirage and should not be taken too seriously. Just my opinion o.

I concur. I do not think it is an issue.

Where does the idea that your close friend or relative must not go out with your ex-boyfriend or ex-boyfriend come from?

As for me, my spouse is free to check my phone anytime T.

Yes, that is what I'm talking about. If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear or get angry about. The more your spouse checks your phone and finds nothing, the more he/she will trust you.

Blind trust is not a wise thing to have; it inevitably leads to betrayal. It is better to create a system that strongly discourages betrayal in the first place.

The generic brand iPod refers to a class of portable digital audio players designed and marketed by Apple Computer. (Hewlett-Packard also markets the product under the name Apple iPod + HP.) Devices in the iPod family offer a simple user interface designed around a central scroll wheel. Most iPod models store media on a built-in hard drive, while a lower-end model, iPod shuffle, relies on flash memory. Like most digital audio players, an iPod device can serve as an external data storage device while connected to a computer.

It's the most popular portable mp3/music player in the world. It is also the coolest .

I must be white, too, since I like it.

If you know the make and model of the laptops that are available at your local computer store, I can help you look for reviews. Epinions.com and Amazon.com have good reviews, but of course you need to first know which models are available at your computer retailers' so you can know what to search for.

Also from Google: www.notebookreview.com

for me to be checking her phone is a betrayal of the trust.

I believe that there is nobody who is not susceptible to temptation, so I think it's better to check out your partner for clues that he/she is cheating on you. The best way to prevent people from erring is by removing all forms of temptation. So if your partner knows you're periodically checking up on him/her, maybe he/she will be discouraged from cheating on you.

Punishment after the fact doesn't help anybody. If you can prevent the crime, please do!

Hot-angel, I greet you!

Interesting idea, but what I really want is for someone to tell me something about her!

Marilyn, if you come accross this page while searching for your name, please join us and introduce yourself to us. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, she's skinny, but she's my favorite of the 3 Nigerian finalists in the competition. If any one of them is going to win, I think it will be Opeyemi. Or else it will be Adeola, whose profile picture probably doesn't do her justice.
