metaldude: I can't believe this!Is it possible for parents to forget his or her child's birthday?I celebrated my birthday three days ago;my dad and mum couldn't even call me on my birthday.It was on the 2nd day,early in the morning that my mum now remembered.She started pleading with me that she forgot.Seriously,Is that possible or has it happened to anyone before?

This is funny, and cuuute at the same time lol. Happy belated birthday!! Like you said, they forgot cos they had other issues on their mind.

I love TPayne, but let's face it - she's not an A-list celeb so why on earth does she think this is a good idea?

Try some tough love. Spanking doesn't work and instead tell ur parents to punish him where it hurts, and always explain why you're doing this.

I don't know how close you two are, but try hanging out with him. Sort of like a friend/big bro. Talk to him like you would a friend, and all though this is a good way to get info, don't ask him a million questions cos that's too obvious. Don't just do this one day, but make it continuous. Don't raise your voice when you talk about sensitive issues such as his behavior, but let him know that he is stressing his family out and will have to live with the consequences of his actions. He needs to understand that you guys are worried abt him. If he's a fan of hiphop culture, cite examples of tons of famous rappers out there who got in trouble with the law while they were younger and have changed and aren't ashamed to share their stories.

You say the "fast life" doesn't appeal to him? What does he do when he's away for 3 days? If he has bad friends, this could be peer pressure. Encourage him to "do you"! If he likes to read, get him motivational books by authors he can relate to. To make sure he reads it, you can do a book club sorta thing where you also read the book, then discuss the book with lessons learnt when you're done reading.

This is kinda extreme but you could pay a couple of police men and him locked up in jail for a couple of hours? lol. This is done on TV a lot, but many community organizations do this to unruly teens to show them where they could end up if their behavior continues to go downhill.

But I think you should stop being the authoritative older bro and connect with him. I'm not saying be his best friend, but be his support system, someone he can fully trust and confide in. I was never an unruly teen, but I had a stage where I thought I was totally on my game as a daughter but my mum was always complaining about my behavior and attitude. When the spanking and nagging stopped, and my mum became a friend/a mum lol, I started to see things from her perspective. She gave me more freedom, I wanted more but I got enough to live with and I started to feel like I was growing up, and being treated like an adult.

Sorry for the essay, and I know that's a lot of suggestions, but I don't know your bro so I don't know which of these would work for him.

I just love chaircover #CCgroupie

This story makes me sick to my stomach!

My biological dad (whom I was extremely close to before their divorce) also walked out on us, leaving my mum with 4 kids. My mum also had high bp, etc and had to go on meds. However, she is now healthy and happy (thank God!). I am not married, and do not live in Nigeria but I do understand culture and trad. That being said, assuming I choose to get married in Naija, there is no way on earth I will have my wedding in my dad's place. Her future in-laws are ridic, and this is a huge red flag that should indicate what is to come when they get married.

I seriously cannot think of a worse way to embarrass my mum. Just remembering my mum cry for the first time, which happened many times later won't let me do something so wicked to my mum. Dang, I am so disgusted right now.

Love the concept, I lived in SA so these pictures feel so real to me. However, I wish there was more of a back story to the pictures and their FB page doesn't seem to have that either, just the pictures. I understand the pictures, but I don't get what their goal is.

Thanks for the link OP. Don't have to rely on Youtube Movies anymore. Nice website too!

oiseworld: i think the reporters missed it somewhere. Probably he was not in the elevator and was tring to get in. The elevator being inbetween the eight floor and the nineth floor opened mid way. With a larger part of it still on the ninth floor. The man not look properly stepped into a vaccum and started a decent from the eight floor downwards till he hit the ground.
I think this explanation would be more accepted but we still have to verify if his body was found inside the building that is in the elevator space or close to it. Or outside the building which makes no sense at all.

That makes sense. His family should definitely sue!!

colly227: Just sold my Galaxy S2 after using it for 4months, done all the pimping and roms palava. I used Iphone4 before switching to galaxy and both didn't satisfy me as they both look over hyped with a dumb battery life. Now I am managing my nokia torch since I have no clue on any other phone to use. Can someone please suggest any other phone that has better specs and battery life....Porsche Porsche Porsche on my mind sha.

I agree that the Galaxy S2 has poor battery life esp compared to other Samsung phones. I have to charge my phone every night.

realwale: Mancini nd his boys know how important this match is. They will need dis game to prove how serious they are and dat they have joined d big boys on top. A loss is a goodbye kiss to deir EPL trophy ambition and will also dent deir image. A loss will bring all their work down nd they might never get this close for another 10yrs.deir failure to win will surely lead to d disintegration of d team. So Mancini better gets his acts right.

I am Man Utd fan but i want Man City to win d league,they deserve it,man u are just lucky to be on top.[b][/b]

True, but you've got to be kidding me.

afrodoc: @realwale i think ur logic is quite faulty.
u want a club u claim to support to go trophyless like arsenal so as to learn from mistakes and come back stronger.how has that plan worked for arsenal over the past SEVEN years? if its dt easy to go trophyless n learn how come arsenal hasnt learned from annual mistakes? or r u saying Le Prof is a dunce?

Word!!!

lmao. I seriously clicked this thinking FB now has a school for employees!

Jucci80: I think the likes of Nasiri El-rufai,Pat Utomi.Who do you think?

You've got to be kidding me. Nigeria is a sum of our collective efforts, so stop waiting for one man to come change a nation. Dang!!

K, thanks for the explanation. Appreciate it.

I used and still use lemon juice, but I know you can use limes, oranges, or even tomatoes.

I'll squeeze a few dros lemon on a cotton pad and rub on the spots, then store the lemon in the fridge (it stores quite well). Trust me, I've done everything possible to clear my spots. They aren't that bad, just about 4 or 5 acne scars on my face which is not noticeable with makeup, however I wanted naturally beautiful skin.

Lemon is inexpensive and effective. I did this for at least 3 weeks every night before I saw significant results! It's something I have to keep doing regularly because I'm a picker, and when the occasional zit occurs, I know it's gonna leave a scar lol, so lemon juice to the rescue.

Caution: Only do this at night. Lemon makes your skin super sensitive to the sun, even if you use sun block.

I know I did nothing wrong! So please explain.

That was a silly excuse to dump you, sorry!

Also, how do your dreads look? Hope you're taking real good care of them. I recently got dreads, and I'm sure you know this but you gotta keep your scalp moisturized and your hair smelling nice like 24/7.

Odd story. Don't know if I should laugh or be sad. What on earth?!! Either ways, the dude creeps me out.

Damn, who didn't see this coming.

Don Jazzy will be fine. It's D'Banj I pity cos pride goes before a fall

I agree. Where there is a will, there's a way!

Bombshell77: Have any of you been in love? Have you been heart broken? If so, what did you do about being heart broken? Do you still talk to the person that broke your heart? Do you think about him/her? If so, why? Do you miss them? And do you think you'll love again? Oya, let the healing process begin

Have any of you been in love?
Yes, once (best friend)

Have you been heart broken?
Yes, once.

If so, what did you do about being heart broken?

Got over it. Time heals, and it also helped that I moved away (unrelated reasons)

Do you still talk to the person that broke your heart?
Not really. Prob twice a year!

Do you think about him/her? If so, why? Do you miss them?
Sometimes. Sometimes I do, it's only natural.

And do you think you'll love again?
Yes, definitely!

awee baby: I dated a guy for 4yrs I thought he loved me dat much until one day I tried calling his number it was off,I then called his friend only for his friend to tell me dat my bf has left the country...I was heartbroken but as a gal that I am I didn't waste time to forget about the hurt and move on but I learnt alot of lessons and I promised myself never to allow my Luv to be greater than any guy's luv.He is back to 9ja and he is doin very fine he calls me all the time in order for us to hook up but I refused that I cant go back to him...only for me to find out dis week dat he got married last year and his wife just gave birth.guys re wicked

Damn! Ish happens..

This is def not Linda. The OP should be blocked and I can't bliv this made the front page. DUMB!!

sizzlers: i love this topic, i was once working in a company where they pay me 35g, i told my friends that i want to quit the job to star something of my own but they where like "You dey crase o!, we wey never find job they tuk and you wey de dey pay 35g dey complain" many people try to discourage me including my mum, wow! i letter seek for peoples opinion but one man encouraged and told me things that made me write my letter the next day. though is not easy for the first 3months but now i normally take my launch in tantaliza every day, i now have plenty of time to attend occasions, events, jim, name it, something that would made me write a series of letters when i was working haha, i think it's cool to be an entrepreneur, and remember for one to excel in life one must come out from it's comfort zone

Any tips for running a successful business?

odiaero: Just look at how the background is so local like NTA television studio colour, must everything about nigeria be local?

Pretty good, same with 3al.

[quote author=yawa-ti-de]I didn't do it but saw it advertised on some site. I figure shilling would like to be aware of it. . .

Sure, it has few issues here and there but it's clean, functionalstraight to the point: www.[/quote]Like you said, clean, functional and straight to the point. Nothing impressive here, sorry!

Maple: Another propaganda campaign by the Western Instruments of Deceits (Western sponsored NGOs) to claim the huge Oil Reserve that was recently discovered in Uganda. Kony has been committing atrocities for the past 25 yrs, but the West never gave a damn, only now that huge Oil reserve was discovered in that country did they pretend to care. Surely, the leopard can never change its spots. I pity those who can not see the Hypocrisy of this Western Vultures.

You and Martinosi echoed my thoughts.

@Jiah011: I applaud your efforts, however I believe there are many organizations out there more deserving of your support than Invisible Children.
