Paraguay (this is a nice game. I think we should stop at the end of this round and declare it a success!)

Men are not scarce, because there are more men than women. I don talk this tin' tire!

From one of our members:
[I]"I am a computer operator and I am jobless.

"Please I will like you to advise me, though I am jobless. I have 4,000.00 naira. I want you to advise me, ... what business can I use the money for to generate more money?"[/I]

I don't know the answer to this question. Do you? What business can one start with just 4,000 naira?

Latvia (I think I remember Ms. Latvia from one of the beauty shows)

Hehe. When we go commercial, the sky is our limit. We will even start 'pruning' members (removing those who have not been active for a while.

How many Nigerians are there? How many are Christians and how many are Muslims? How many are men and how many are women? How many people live in each state within Nigeria? These questions, and more, will be answered by the 2005 National Population and Housing Census ('Census 2005'), which is currently being planned by our National Population Commision (NPC).

The 2005 census will commence on Tuesday, the 29th of November and end on Saturday, the 3rd of December, 2005 (source). Please be informed!

I misunderstood the game. I thought you meant that the last letter of one word should be the first letter of the next.

Women claim that men are unfaithful, but when a man cheats against his woman is it not another woman he is sleeping with?

Angelgal, I am not being sexist. You say that I'm accusing Ifeoma of being a one-eyed lady, but what about the 3 men I am supposedly accusing of being completely blind?

Ok, the thing is this. The Ultimate Searchers are probably intelligent young people like you. It could be that the food that they are giving them that is not good. It could also be the stress they are facing. But under the circumstances ... well, if you listen to their conversations you don't hear them talking about anything interesting.

Maybe Seun is just jealous of them

Here's another game.

Rules: Someone asks a "[color=#000077]What would you do if[/color]?" question. The next person replies, and asks his/her own question. Obviously, you cannot answer your own question.

Women don't understand themselves, yet they expect men to understand them!

Women deliberately wear skimpy wears, but they're embarrased when men start staring at the exposed 'goods' or want to have a feel.

I think I can see what's happening here. The women love us just as we are!

How can you condemn double-dating when we have not even been able to come up with the definition of dating?

I condemn marital infidelity, but I feel that dating outside engagement and marriage is not serious enough to warrant expectations of 100% commitment. Bieng 'committed' to a relationship that is going nowhere is a waste of time. Do you understand what I'm saying?

France (nothing like flamengo )

Tanzania

Exactly. So at this point we men must allow two women to post before allowing any other man.

Yes, it's 'heavy', but when you think about the amount of money they could get if they could get all companies to pay up on windows and MS Office licensing fees you realise they are doing something important (for them)
