Models that win beauty competitions are usually skinny and tall. Oluchi onweagbu and Agbani Darego are both skinny, though these girls appear even more so. My favorite is Opeyemi !

Large and flashy signatures and avatars can distract from the main purpose of the site. Having said that, I am favourably disposed towards having a better profile page.

I like the fact that with Yahoo 360 you can set up your blog to be viewable by friends only. The good thing about Yahoo 360 is that 99% of Nigerians operate a yahoo mail account already!.

Genevieve Nnaji is a great musician. I'd like to invite all fans of Genevieve Nnaji to join our forum!

I concur with legs; I'm only concerned about how effectively the data is being used.

In fact, there is going to be a NigeriaSat-2 which can resolve to higher accuracy and pick up objects on the ground. That one may be useful for police work.

Red: I'll regard your post as a very bad joke.

Post like that would normally be removed from an Internet forum, because you said just enough to provoke an angry response while providing no tangible explanation of your position. When a moderator reads post like that, then he has to go through all your previous posts with a pair of scissors.

I think I prefer sites like this one (www.nairaland.com) where young ppl get to talk about various issues before the issue of dating comes up. Most dating sites are like meat markets - you are trying to choose a potential mate based on mere appearance ... yuk.

E-harmony is better, but Nairaland is the best way. Ask legry and love4ever .

Kai! So everybody thinks Omotola is more beautiful abi? Ok o.

Proud of her heritage Adeola, who speaks both English and Yoruba, says Nigerians know how to have a good time and that the country has a lot of different places to visit. Given the chance Adeola would like to see Zimbabwe though she has already traveled quite a lot making stops in Ghana, Togo and the United Kingdom.

Editor: her name is incorrectly spelt 'Opeyami' by the official site!

sage: you know even a girl that could suck your ****.

The only thing more disgusting than that is the idea that she has sucked that of another guy in the past. Ewww.

I have not met many genuinely rich ladies yet. I have met women whose parents are rich. I have met women whose husbands are rich. But I have met only very few who are rich on their own accord. I hope that with time we'll be seeing more of this.

In my opinion, children of rich or 'comfortable' parents tend to be more attractive.

Actually, the way I see it, you could be married to her in 6 months if you wanted to and knew what to do. She has given you all the information you need in this quote:
"The Babe: I have a problem with the word "submissive", I don't think it can work for me."

I'm not married, but I have an opinion on this topic. I have two parents, and that's about all I can take; I most certainly don't need more! So, I don't know about this issue of taking your wife's family as your own o. I hope it's not compulsory, because if I'm married tommorrow I'd like to be the woman's only husband. I most certainly will not share my wife with any[/i]body, in [i]any way, for any reason, at any time. Not even my brother, thank you very much.

One husband, one wife, that's the way I see it.

I agree; there should be no age limit. If a 35 year old man is smart enough to get himself elected, he's probably smart enough to run the country. Being successful as a president depends on your ability to motivate the people working "under" you, and someone who is able to motivate millions of people to vote for him might be able to do that.

If after all our discussions on this thread, and my exhortations all over the forum, a female member of this forum still allows herself to be [I]used for sex[/I], then it will be extremely hard for anybody to convince me that miriam is wrong.

No matter the amount of "love" in your heart, you should be able to say "no" and mean it. Even as a married woman, there wil be men who will meet you and try to sweep you off your feet just to make a conquest, and you'll have to resist their advances regardless of your "feelings" (which may be here today and there tommorrow). So start practicing now!

Thank you, kemmy. I think the reason why some people get embarassed over such things simply because they know that if it happened to someone else, [I]they[/I] (sitting in audience) would see it as a big deal.

I don't see it as a big deal. Is your heel broken? Then start [I]hopping[/I]!

Let's say he proposed 12 months to the wedding.

Well she's beautiful! Oops.

What I mean is that I'm carrying out some highly classified research and I need to know more about her to complete the research ... but why is my nose suddenly growing longer? (Pinocchio)

I agree with you IAH.

So, back to the main topic; how to manage in-laws! Waiting for the married people.

But how many male Ogas will remain single long enough for a lady who is busy trying to become 'self-made and highly placed'? Male 'ogas' are always surrounded by willing women.

IAH: Infatuation is like a child of Love, so when Love visits you, it brings along its child.

This quote describes the other definition of infatuation, the one which Pinky rejected:
" Infatuation is a part of what we call love "

You are now implying that love cannot exist without infatuation. Hmm.

Ok, let me ask you this direct question. We all agree that infatuation can exist without love. Can love exist without infatuation?
