"All is fair in love and war". All that matters at the end of the day is propagating your genetic seed!

The country's economy is doing pretty well. It will be dong 5 times better if not for NEPA.

When women sleep with men, it's not caused by insecurity. They are just Hot.

Married people quarrel all the time, and things like this happen. The solution is simple: settle it. Grr!

how do you know that ayefele is not affiliated with seunfide. afterall he vouched for the id.

Well I agree with you. I definitely need to feel understood. No, I need to be understood.

In that case, maybe he's just not your type. There are bigger fish in the ocean.

If the two main characters were not completely stupid, the story would have ended a very long time ago!

Why not settle the problem with the guys that are threatening him first? Are they cultists?

I understand that you feel very bad about the situation. Sorry about that. it's for the best?

I don't understand your question. Do you want him to be injured because of you?

Hmm, you're only supposed to slap once in response, not thrice. A punishment shouldn't exceed the offence.

She's a senator, not a model. How she looks is not the issue.

I hate it when people do that. Should I ban her for a few weeks?

ayefele200 has been banned permanently for claiming I own that scammer's id.
He will be unbanned then he explains what led him to such an idiotic conclusion.

seunfide is not my yahoo id. And I do not need your 2000 naira. Understood?

He was looking for an excuse to dump you, and you gave him a very good one.
No such relationship is worth saving. Consider yourself fortunate to be finally free.

You were wrong to fight over him, and he was wrong to lock both of you in the house.
That action indicates that he doesn't respect either of you (or he's been watching too much TV).

runsaway:
when is the deadline for turning in the stories?

Try to send it before Wednesday next week, but I'll always be on the lookout for great writers.

Suggested scene: An funny argument between a husband/wife about the woman's male best friend.

Orikinla:
Seun,
A script development workshop is a great method.

Script development workshop? So that's what it's called in Nigeria? Cool; thanks for sharing!

Orikinla:
I believe you have enough of your own original scripts to produce your pilot.
Try to work with what you have in your hands first.

Thanks, but my stuff just isn't funny enough for a sitcom. I can't afford to compromise on the script.

This is nice but I don't have full control of my time. Still considering available options anyway

Contact me anyway. If you are a very funny writer, anything is possible. I could buy your weekends.

i would have loved to but i am 18hrs away from naija by flight.

I can work with people based abroad, through the Internet, but paying them might be a challenge.

considering the fact that you own nairaland, you have an endless supply of material. there are enough characters in nairaland to base your fictional characters on.

Material for a script? endless supply. A funny, well-balanced script? scarce.

The woman is taking it too far, but all your uncle can do is negotiate a lifting of the ban.

Thanks guys. Well, I'm hiring writers to come up with a new script, since this writer isn't selling.

if na me, i will remain "banned" for a long period of time even when she eventually grows tired of the ban

And your marriage will be bitter for an extremely long time for both of you!

I've bought lots of firewire cards and they never work. But I can capture videos through USB easily.

Let's Create A New Sitcom: For Writers

Dear writers,

I've been working on making a sitcom for a while, but it seems I just can't write it alone. For example, I've been staring at a blank page for 2 days now. Lots of ideas, but no script, because writing is hard.

I want us to form a writing team of 2-4 writers to write the initial episodes of the sitcom I'm personally working on before December. Basically, I want to buy your time for a wonderful creative experience.
[s]
The way I imagine it, we'll be sitting down in a circle, discussing the characters, coming up with plot ideas, lines of dialogue, et cetera. And I'll be the guy with the laptop, moderating the discussions and typing everything down. This will all take place in a hall I've secured, located in Sango Ota, starting in a week or two.
[/s]
I already have a small database of well developed characters, story ideas, and settings that we can start with. I just need you to help me turn all of this into a script. As for the size of the team, there's safety in numbers - US sitcoms can have up to 8 writers, but I'm going to manage just 2-4 in addition to myself.

I'll be paying each writer something nice for each episode we manage to complete. What I can pay depends on how good I think you are, so I'll be collecting writing samples and testing you with a generic comedic scene. I may pay some people in advance if I deem that reasonable.

Just send me a few original, short, funny scripts, on any topic. Something that tells me that you can write funny stories and funny dialogue (important in sitcoms). Send it to [b][/b] with your name, address (Lagos/Ogun I hope) and phone number, and something that will make your application stand out.

I am waiting to be impressed by the best and funniest writers on this forum. Cheers!

Seun.

Hmmm, it's her bedroom. You have to respect that and settle the quarrel. That's all. Peace.

Don't mind her. Why should all these tiny, weightless girls be thinking of slapping hefty men?

Secret to making money - you shall wear whatever makes your customer drop the dollars.

She has the power to ban people from her room. This is called ownership, not autocracy.

Don't worry about safety, the helicopter has never gone higher than seven feet.
You can fall safely from a height of seven feet - just about the height of a tall man.

Girls that listen to their friends are ok, provided their friends are good friends.
Very soon someone will start a topic titled "friends that listen to boyfriends; bad!"

There's nothing wrong with feeling sorry for them. At least, feel sorry for their unfortunate children who didn't get to choose where they'll be living.
