legry: laughing like a man gone gaga

'gaga' - silly, crazy. Judging by the content of your last post, one would come to the same conclusion. Hope it's not Gulder (GUS)? (just kidding, I know it was deliberate and meant to be humorous).

Yes, but 2 people have given the answer and the gamesmaster has congratulated them thrice!

When they are financially independent, by age 18. They can have 'platonic' friends before then.

('Dating' is not the only way to get a husband or wife, you know. Some people are moving to a model better known as "courtship". There's a popular book titled 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye' that explores this possibility. Here's an excerpt from 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye'.

(that's because there's not much to watch on Nigerian TV)

Women are in control where it really matters - the kitchen, and one other place.

Done. It's 250 naira per month for those who live in Nigeria and $50 per year for those living outside the country. What's left is for the forum be improved in ways that will make it worth 10 times the money you'll be paying .

... Seun kept disturbing me about one 'Continue the story' thread that refused to die. Meanwhile,

Find a new purpose, because where there's life there's hope and opportunity.

What would you do if one of a major ethnic group decides to 'pull out' of the country?

We have discussed the issue of ladies asking men out previously, so I imagine that this is not the reason why you started this thread.

You started this thread because you want a pretty Nigerian girlfriend, and I hope it works for you.

I'll say "I'm so sorry, but thank God we've been practicing abstinence".

What would you do if Nairaland goes commercial tommorrow?

"Vox populi, vox Dei" (the voice of the people is the voice of God)

Actually, the statement just shows that I can give quick retorts. In case you missed it, this is what really happened:

tayotina: Men are cassava sticks in trousers.
seun: Women cannot do without the cassava sticks in trousers.

Welcome to the forum, dablessed.

That is my point. it's better to learn from reality. I think it's better to learn from those who have successful marriages as well as those who spend their time trying to help people fix their marriages.

.. fainted but I came to nairaland for a little relaxation where I saw that legry's 'continue the story' thread has refused to die! So ...

Yoruba women are ok, but Delta and Ibo women are the cutest. By the way, where does Rita come from?

Vieira:
some of thier updates are not well thought through and cause more havoc than good.

To support your opinion, can you share your first hand experiences of Windows Updates 'causing havoc' on a system?

The men have won! We don win!

Someone said that, "a lady who behaves like a thug does not deserve to be treated like a lady". If a lady raises her hand to slap a man because she feels "he's a goat" and he gives her the beating of her life I'm not going to take her side.

If you want to be treated like a lady, you need to behave like a lady.

Welcome to the Nairaland Forum, Le Moor.

This forum is primarily for Nigerians living in Nigeria, and that is why most of the topics are about issues that matter within Nigeria. The Nairaland founder realised that while there are a lot of 'Nigerian' sites (including blogs and forums) out there, very few of them are able to satisfy the needs of the approximately 150 million Nigerians of us living within the country.

So in spite of our love for Nigerians everywhere, we would definitely not sacrifice the interests of those who are in Nigeria for the sake of those living outside the country.

However, there are some Nigerians in the diaspora who really seem to care about what's going on within Nigeria. Some of them are our most regular posters and Nairaland is a home away from home for them. I hope you fall into this category!

There is no shame in being a member of two different forums and using the one that is more appropriate for the issue you want to discuss. I hope to read more from you as this site marches forward.

It is quite easy for an innocent man to end up in jail. If journalists and observers are not sure whether Micheal jackson will be convicted or not, even after reading all the court records, I think the members of the jury themselves may not be sure and the final verdict may have more to do with luck than innocence or guilt.

Any time I think about the legal system I get a little religious because it is so easy for innocent people to end up in jail. Especially if you don't have money to hire a good legal team (not so in Jackson's case) or if you look so ugly that the jury takes a look at you and says "this man is a wierdo, and probably a monster" (this applies in jackson's case).

Whatever the government is doing affects all of us, so I'm glad that the office of public communications has embraced the web when even technology companies like Globacom have refused to post their Press Releases on their sites.

There are perhaps 150 million of us and I think we deserve someone who at least knows what he's doing! A president who doesn't know how to navigate the complex web of relationships in Nigerian politics might end up plunging the country into a costly war. That's one reason why I like the current president; he knows how to handle his former peers.

The network system was bad today that is why I replied late. I promise to expantiate better tomorrow (by God's grace)

Please do. I am eager to learn how a small boy like me who is allergic to elitism and 'bigmanism' can get a foot into the NFA when even 'bigger' men don't always find it easy.

[color=#000077]How do you people in Nigeria pay for good bought from Nigerian Shopping Sites?[/color]

Most of the time, they pay by bank deposit. You go to the bank and pay the money into their accounts. This is the case for ShopForLess.com and Computerport.biz, as far as I know.

What they do at Xtaples.net is to allow you to 'checkout' your order without making any payment, then they call you later to settle your order and arrange payment.

[color=#000077]Is there a credit/debit card in Nigeria now or what?[/color]

[I]International credit cards in Nigeria[/I]:
- The STB Mastercard Maestro : Credit and Debit Cards in Nigeria.

[I]Debit cards for payment in naira (within Nigeria)[/I]:
- Interswitch Debit Cards: See www.interswitchng.com.
- E-tranzact Debit Cards: See www.etranzact.net.
- ValuCard E-purse: See www.valucardnigeria.com.

However, very few online stores use these cards (Interswitch and E-tranzact are Internet-enabled) because, frankly, they are not yet ready to do business with Nigerian web merchants. You can imagine a company that wants web merchants to use its system insisting about a "formal business introduction" before they will even answer basic questions about their service. What is that?
