@Skill
It seems to me that you've been contracted to promote Bromance. More powder to your face.

Nigerian men will be the last on earth to embrace bromance. I hope you don't take this the wrong way (I know you're intelligent enough not to), but I suggest you spend transfer the time you spend on this thread to the Literature board. You're really good there, you know!

Even people who are man enough won't give it a try.
1. I might become gay.
2. They'll think I'm gay. _{Maria bi Jesu.}

NIGERIAN MEN, WE'RE A LOST CAUSE.

Are you telling me to give up? But I want to be like Joan of Arc. . . you know lead Naija men to victory over their man to man friendship paranoia!!!

Sarah Palin became a household name the day she was picked as McClain running mate. In less than 24hrs, she topped yahoo and google's most searched list, afterall it's only natural to be curious, however the info coming out about this woman is giving some people pause. For instance under the Personal and Family Section on Wikipedia page, it starts she has 5 children. 2 boys Track and Trig and 3 girls Bristol, Willow and Piper.

She married her high school boyfriend, Todd Palin, on August 29, 1988.[6] The Palin family lives in Wasilla, about 45 miles (72 km) north of Anchorage. The Palins have two sons (Track, 19, and Trig, four months) and three daughters (Bristol, 17; Willow, 14; and Piper, 7) [Ages as of August 2008]

When it was found out that her last child was a down syndrome baby, parents in similar situation felt it made her more approachable. Well this morning, new info have come out showing that Sarah Palin is NOT the mother of Trig. . . but her daughter 17 years old Bristol. There are also detailed accounts on how she tried to cover it up by announcing to her staff that she was pregnant when Bristol was supposedly 3 months pregnant, which lead to confusion and surprise amongst her staff when she went to labor at only six months.

Read More

The story begins on March 6th, when Sarah decided to come forward and announce to the world that she was pregnant, a monumental occasion for an acting Governor. Republican Governor Jane Maria Swift of Massachusetts was the first sitting Governor in United States history to give birth in office just seven years before, and now here we were once again. Yet, no one could believe the news:

  JUNEAU -- Gov. Sarah Palin shocked and awed just about everybody around the Capitol on Wednesday when she announced she's expecting her fifth child.

 Palin said she's already about seven months along, with the baby due to arrive in mid-May.  That the pregnancy is so advanced astonished all who heard the news. The governor, a runner who's always been trim, simply doesn't look pregnant. Even close members of her staff said they only learned this week their boss was expecting. "I thought it was becoming obvious," Palin said. "You know, clothes getting snugger and snugger." But people just couldn't believe the news.

"Really? No!" said Bethel state Rep. Mary Nelson, who is close to giving birth herself.  "It's wonderful. She's very well-disguised," said Senate President Lyda Green, a mother of three who has sometimes sparred with Palin politically. "When I was five months pregnant, there was absolutely no question that I was with child." Palin said she's not aiming to take any time off from her job as governor, assuming all goes well with the pregnancy.

With Palin riding extraordinarily high popularity ratings, pundits have mentioned her as a potential vice presidential candidate. But she said Wednesday night she's "not pursuing or perpetuating it," adding, "I have no desire to leave my job at all as governor." She's known as a fashion plate, but said she hasn't been dressing differently to cover her barely perceptible bulge.

Funny quote on her having no desire for the Vice-Presidency aside, the article is direly clear. No one knew she was pregnant, not even her own staff. Quite a feat. Why the secrecy? Sarah has never given an answer, and upon further reading, no one has bothered to ask.

Seven months into a pregnancy, and no one noticed.

Even Harry Houdini would be impressed.

And how could anyone tell? Sarah's waistline never changed. Her wardrobe still remained tight and professional. In a video posted in February (nearing five months of pregnancy at the time), Sarah is seen trim, and walking around all of Juneau, Alaska.


TIMELINE AFTER MARCH 6 PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

- Her water broke one month before Trig was due, but she kept a previous speaking engagement in Texas and then flew 8 hours to Alaska. No one on board noticed that Sarah was going into labor either. The flight lands in Anchorage, Alaska. Instead of visiting a medical facility that can accommodate a premature birth in Alaska’s most equipped city, she drives 45 minutes away to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, right outside the small village she used to govern as Mayor, Wasilla.

– On April 18, 2008, Trig was born one month premature. Sarah returned to work after three days. (Trig was diagnosed with Down’s syndrome while still in the womb.)

– Trig is not Sarah’s son, but grandson. It was her 16-year-old daughter Bristol (pictured right) who was carrying. (80% of the cases of Down’s Syndrome are in mothers under the age of 35.)

– Family had taken Bristol out of Anchorage High School due to contracting “infectious mononucleosis”. Reports say she was absent from school for five to eight months. Mono can last anywhere from two weeks to three months.

There are pictures and eyewitness accounts on the website.

What do you think?

The Sly:
I dey oh! 

[b]Ok Ma'am. . . . .I'm very fine and i hope you are too.  [/b]


There are loada romantic Nigerian men out there. . . . . 
But there is a Lil twist to it. . . . . . We are 1 in a billion. . . . . 2 in a trillion.
[s]We don't do bromance and we are not in anyway easy to get. . . . . . Its that simple[/s].

Full sentence! Be still my beating heart! Oh why must you tease me so? Forget almost perfect, you are PERFECT which is why you're gonna help me change those numbers to something more appealing.

oziomatv:
I was just watching a naija couples the other day at the Airport when the husband sees the wife off, to give her a hug is like he's giving a leprosy man a hug, it lasted just 2 seconds and the man is just rushing to leave, I just asked myself bros your wife body dey chuck? but watch others how they'll spend some time with the wife before she board flight.

You make me Happy!  

Let's be honest here, why do you think he was like that? Please don't say it's because we are not used to hugging in Nigeria coz I'm gonna throw the "Oh yeah, we used to hold hands in Nigeria but they learnt not to pretty quickly, so why can't they learn to hug now?" answer back at you.

My own aswer. . .  Most Nigerian guys have problems with PDA because they think it makes them less manly in the eyes of other Nigerian men.

My heart melts for guys who are man enough to be Bromantics.  

The way a guy acts with his best buds tells me what kinda boyfriend he is gonna be.  

The Sly:
You used some threads created by some flipping teenagers as a template to judge the whole Nigerian men. . . .Fantastic.

Yipeeeee! Look who is here. . . My Mr. Almost Perfect!!!! How are you doing this fine morning, mah darlin'? Feel free to say your answer in words instead of that macho grunt y'all like to use to show how hard you are.

oziomatv:
@sisikill
         I would have love your teaching to be the other way round(i.e., teaching men how to treat women)
Our naija men are scoring zero in world's chart on romance, just take a look of certain thread some create here.

Oh my God! You make me wanna cry. . . seriously, that's the exact point of this whole thing. Once men learn how to treat each other right, the rest will come easy. What do women complain most about. . .

1) Their guy not respecting them enough
2) Being inconsiderate
3) Being taken for granted.
4) Emotionally closed of partners
5) Indifference
6) Physical abuse

When a guy treats his girl in a shabby manner. . .  majority of the time ^{consciously or unconsciously} he is doing it because he does not want to be seen as a wuss or an emotional softie by others, especially his fellow guys. Remember all the times you made fun of a friend calling him whipped because he dared to show his feelings for his girl? What do you think happens? He shuts off and tries to be as unwhipped as possible.

Now if you guys learn to be emotional softies with each other, the fear of being laughed at or mocked disappears and from there on everything will be on point.

It's simple.

eldee:
I have to agree with you on that
But the difference is that men tend to bounce back in nanoseconds from anything that hurt their self esteem
That's where the streetcred comes in . . . while women are busy crying after breakups, we're there thinking of the next step
We bounce back before we ourselves know our pride has been hurt, sometimes more on the offensive than expected
And is that not what mental stability is all about??

@Sisikill
I'm still asking, Jack Bauer and Tony Almeida Vs JD and Elliot
It's funny, the only place I see your 'mentally mature' man is that half-gay dude on girlfriends

Our own 'I love you' is a pat on the back and 'Dude u're the best'
What's the one of looking into each other's eyes??

20 years ago it woulda been alright, but this is the 21st century where priests are turning gay
It's no more safe jare

Bounce back kini? You don't bounce back. . . you bury it and take it out on the next girl. Puh-lease don't even try to go there. I am not saying dreamily gaze into each other's eyes ^{I swear, where do you guys get that from}, I am saying don't be too paranoid about your man to man relationship.

Are you also opposed to male and female relationship abi what is JD and Elliot's own in this matter now? 


Tee hee hee, I know you mean JD and Turk but I'm not about to let that. . . freudian slip slide

oziomatv:
Some maybe hidding under the pretence of being best pally, but I can see nothing wrong in being Gay except his choice is effecting my freedom which I'm yet to notice. But humanbeing are made to live their life and being real is the act of being who you're.

Bromance is about being who you are instead of conforming to what society wants.

Society says two guys can't walk together, go out to dinner together, go watch a movie together or let their guard slip because it might kinda, sorta look a little gay and what do they do? They say "Yes, society. Whatever you say Society" and then obey to the point of paranoia. . . they walk 10 feet apart, go ballistic if a guy mistakenly touches them, sit on opposite ends of the theater and bury their feelings under blocks of stupid machismo. How then do we expect them to be emotionally receptive in other areas of their lives coz I tell ya, once you shut that thing off for one thing, you shut it off for all and who suffers the brunt of it? Women!

It is WRONG I tells ya! Wrong!

oziomatv:
There's one thing you've to get clear, our custom is so closed that some free life being applied in certain places may turn as a taboo, which at last cause most of the youths acting primitively when accidently mixed to other youths from western world.
    I remember back those days of secondary school we used to hold hand in hand with male friends but in western world it's only Gays do practice them.

Are the people who held hands in Nigeria gay now?

onyinye2:
Anyways Sisi,

If you are expecting any one of these boys children  pikins  men to agree with your idea. . . . you are kidding yourself.  You see people think women's self esteem is easy to down pour on but actually it is men. That is why they do things for "Street Cred" [/i]or what have. So from them except that they do have [i]"Emotions" is a hit and miss. They will put up a front of being hard and tough when they really aint.

I know how fragile their esteem is, that's why I am determined to help, it for the betterment of mankind. I've said it once and I'll again, all the problems we're facing today can be traced to a man's bruised ego/esteem, his desire to prove "himself" at the detriment of others. Something has to be done and like Joan of Arc, I am obeying the voice! 

onyinye2:
Sisi. . . . you are really something

Never doubt the power of advertisement! 

oziomatv:
@ sisikill
          So what you're saying isss, ?

Men should free to say. . . I LOVE YOU BRO!!!

Any woman who sleeps with a married man is already stupid, now add pregnancy to it? I doubt there will ever be a word to express the heights of her stupidity.

Lexicon and Sisikill walking in a garden

Lexicon - It is a shame eldee can't express his feelings in a better way.

Sisikill - I suppose he's hesistant because he is does not want to come off as a softee in front of all the other guys.

Lexicon - Yeah, If only there was a way to correct that, make him more open and make other guys more receptive to a man's mushiness. Oh if only! if only!

Sisikill stops and grabs Lexicon by the arm

Sisikill - I know! Bromance!

Lexicon - Bromance?

Sisikill - That's right Bromance! Bromance is the first step to a new and improved man.

Lexicon - Interesting! Tell me more.

Sisikill - Bromance is the process of making guys feel comfortable enough in their skin to be open about their feelings. The first step is to be open with another guy, once that is done, the rest comes easy.

Hannibal comes into the scene, he is holding a football

Hannibal - Surely there is more to it. Some hidden fees, contract. . . kissing, candle light dinners, feeding each other and sending cards?

Sisikill - Nope, nope no hidding fees, no kissing or candle lit dinners. Just two guys being friends.

Hannibal - Wow! This is incredible!

Lexicon - Far out! I can't wait to tell all my friends about Bromance.

Sisikill - Don't forget Eldee.

Hannibal & Lexicon - Thanks Sisikill!

Sisikill - No problem guys, I'm always here to help out.

This is way different from 2 guys going to a restaurant, light up a candle, exchange cards and feed each other.
Sis, that is drifting towards the neighbourhood of HETEROPHOBIA.

Rotflmao! Feeding each other and exchanging cards. . . Is this what you really think this is about? No wonder you guys are so unreceptive to BROMANCE!  Do me a favor and read the first post, okay?

Hetrophobia. . . lmao! You slay me!!!

Debated on this recently and most opnions are varied.

Some people think the church should have rejected the money since lottery is a form of gambling, their rationale - Fate vs. Providence and that playing the lottery is a form of challenging God. They quote Matt. 4-7 "You shall not tempt the Lord your God" to support this.

Another group feel Lottery is a form of “reaping where you didn’t sow” They believe it disrupt the natural cycle of labor and reward. “If anyone will not work, let him not eat" (2 Thess. 3:10) is not a hard-hearted punishment but a description of how life operates.

There’s also a debate on what offering is. It is an act of worship, a way to give something that means a lot to you, you worked for it and replacing it with lottery earnings is almost an insult. These people group feel the church should have rejected the lottery ticket,. The people who counter this debate, do so on the basis is NO MAN has the right to reject another man’s offering to God.

Finally there are those who feel that it is the reason  for or the thought behind playing the Lottery that counts. Christians, they believe, are allowed to play lottery if their reason for playing it is to donate to the ministry but if they are doing it just to get out of debt and all the material things they can get, then it is wrong.

Personally, I honestly don't see anything wrong with the church taking this money. It's not like they took money from the church vestry to go play the lottery, it was donated to them. Besides, how about those people who make their donations from money made through illegal means. . . like drugs, embezzeling, 419 and such? I'm not condoning those things but I just don't think one man offering should be penalized when there are are far worse people out there.

I'D choose the babe 365 days of the year.

Oh la la Spanking! Me likey me likey but that's not what we are talking about rigt now, save the S & M with me for when you are willing to embrace bromance

Dude nobody is saying you can't go out with girls, what bromamce calls for is an openess with other guys that will stop you from being jittery and near panic when you find yourself alone with members of your own sex without the buffer of sports or whatever else y'all use to prove you are macho men.
