Ex Inferis:
dude, do you have a problem with word economics? whats with the high-falutin bombasts in a forum populated overwhelmingly by simpletons? "plausible deniability" "misconstrued" "gastrointestinal astrometaphysical conundrum" yada yada yada and so forth.

jesus.

you sound like a darn lecture.

Now, now don't be too harsh on him. Some of us do enjoy being raped with words from a ^high-falutin Pseudo intellectual. 


@ vescucci

*batting eyelashes*

Do carry on! 

ROTFLMAO!! It is official, something else has entered this matter. There is a foul plan afoot. . . please someone tell me, did they ever catch the people who kidnapped Kanu's brother and threatened to kidnap Kanu himself? Who knows. . . maybe the person the police are looking for in Sokoto is right here in Shokoto.

Rotflmao! This is beyond obsession and it's even more disturbing since this marriage happened some 4-5 yrs ago. Do you think OP just woke up from a long coma?

Queenisha:
Actually,the crying one surprised me o
This kain anambra yoruba that cries anyhow.
The Mr Cunle Comolafe was in his lonely apartment and saw visions and apparitions of his green card flying high up in the sky beyond his reach.
He thought of going back to [b]Acure [/b]empty handed and it hit him like a truck load of frozen amala

ROTFLMAOPIMP!

You have killed me tonight!!!!      

Haven't they been married for what. . . over 5 yrs now?

What is your own?

We met for the purpose, through a friend, just for papers.  But have been serisouly dating since we met.  He wants to have sex badly, as do I, but we have made a promise to wait for marriage.

I mi kon le

I. . . Sister. . . woman . . . errr . . . oh whoa! Look at the time! Wish I could stay but. . . I, my, one woman I mean our sister. . . my sister is expecting me but don't worry, we'll continue. . . do something, sometime soon, okay.

Yeparipa! No wonder Bobo flew into a rage! He is fighting for his "life" (green card) here and she's talking about her baaaaaaabies. To think I was beginning to see him as a sensitive guy for crying. . . asheashe, it was the greencard peppering him. Mama was right, men will only cry for two things - 1) Their favorite team losing  2) Their arrangey marriage wife put her kids before their desire to get papers. Eeeya!

@ Debosky

Cadiri and Colawole? Rotflmao!!! No way! Please, please tell me we have not reached that heights of insanity yet. LMAO, I'm still trying to come to terms with

Kayodes calling themselves Karl,

Lanre as Larry,

Taribo as Terry,

Rotimi as Timmy,

Omoredey as Moe

Dapo as Daps

Now Corede, Cunkle. . . Don't freak me out I beg you!  

Wait! Wait! Wait! If this turns out to be a hoax, me I will vex oh! I mean seriously, why. . . aah, forget it. I can't fit vex, I'm too lazy right now, maybe tomorrow sha.

Seun:
Apologize and never do it again.  Testosterone is a potent chemical, you can't defeat it by force.

Seun how can she apologize when dundee united has moved out of the house and is not picking up her calls? Send smoke signals or use a talking drum, perhaps?

Sisterwoman, I'm sure I don't need to tell you not to take all the personal insults to your person to heart. I'm sure now you know how immature husbands become. . . well immature husbands.  

onyinye2:
If it is one thing i know. . . . and that is not be sarcastic with some people. With my girlfriends or my personal guy friends. . . oka im very sarcastic. In fact i do it without thinking. But with people such as my father or people of his genre. . . . i don't even show that side. I did it once and learned my lesson. Because even though my dad is the most sarcastic person in the world. . . . you never give him a taste of his own medicine.

So sista. . . . you betta suck up some of that pride and apologize. i know it is hard because i most definately wouldn't apologize, or atleast be the first one. I would probably have an attitude about it. Actually i would most definately have an attitude about it. So yeah i would come off "sincere", and leave the attitude. Because it would add insult to injury.

Oyinye2, everyone knows we shouldn't be sarcastic with our fathers, what kind of children would we be? However this is Sisterwoman's Husband, someone who is supposed to be her friend (like your girlfriends and personal guy friends) not her father.


@ Sisterwoman
He has an apartment somewhere else where is free to go. . . what is going on here? I've read a couple of posts saying you two just got married and except this was a shotgun wedding, there is no reason why he couldn't have gotten rid of that apartment a long time ago. From where I stand (yes, as an outsider) there is more to this that meets the eye and not necessarily on your part.


1) His reaction to this issue is overboard -  Who the heck is he that he can't be spoken to sarcastically or fibbed to? In our father in heaven forgives, please he should go and sit down somewhere. You didn't cancel the appt to go do your nails or go shopping, you didn't blow him off because you didn't remember. . . now that would be the real show of not caring for his feelings. You cancelled it because of your children, fine let him be angry but to take it so far as to leave the house for days? Come on! What kind of man is this. . . are you sure you didn't marry a child? Okay on the off chance that he is indeed a man, there's another plausible explanation for taking this dramatic route

2) Projection (in the most basic terms) - He has done something, he is doing something or he is thinking of doing something he shouldn't have and instead of facing it, he has decide to pass whatever it is on you. Why else would he think you were still lying about cancelling the appointment for the kids? Blowing this out of proportion and acting like the mortally wounded party helps him replaced his guilt with anger. . . easier to handle and once like anyone else, once you get a legit excuse to be angry, he's be hard pressed to let it go, hence him not picking up your calls.  (Cowardly? Most definitely but it is what it is)

I'm sorry if I'm taking this too far but I refuse to believe this is over sarcasm. I know Nigerian men are egotistical, pompous with God-like complex but get mad over sarcasm? Seriously??!

And all of a sudden, all these under the petese law makers creating new rules on what shouldn't be brought in marriage. . . what the heck? Jeebus! Marriage is already hard enough, now we gotta add trivial matters like sarcasm to it? What next

"Sneezing has no place in an argument between a man and his wife because it will interrupt the man's flow of insults, which is rude and disrespetful to his authority"

Oh what about this one

"Blinking has no place in an argument because it shows for that for one second, the woman was not looking at the man, which is an insult to him. Obey is Authori-tay!!!"

Gah! What I would give for an eye rolling smiley right now. My first born child. . . any takers? I'll even throw in my husband.

This is a true case of soooing gege di arun. Nonsense.

KarmaMod:
The hell?

Why did I think he was Yoruba?

Alabajo sha 

Didnt you say one time that he claimed to be a prince and that in Yoruba land men don't go down on women or some lame myth like that

LMFAO! You are not nice!!

@ Sisterwoman
Hate, hate to ask this but are these his kids?


@ Debosky
Come on now! Are you telling me your mom has never said something like that? Let me put it this way. . . when was the last time your mom used the word "Omo Mi" [/i]for instance. . .  "[i]Ah, e fi omo mi si le" or "E de ba mi fun omo mi lonje"? It's not about babying the child, it is just natural maternal instinct. . . no matter how old their children are, they will always their baby.

I guess in an effort for the world to balance itself, when there is an "omo", there is an Agbaya. 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count, who the Agbaya is in this case. That's right. . . Brotherman!

RichyBlacK:
What?

Don't you believe in "two wrongs don't make a right" anymore?

Aaaaaah! I swear I'm about to lose my mind up in here, up here!

I need a ROLLING MY EYES SMILEY. . . STAT!!!!!!!!! 

sistawoman:
But how do i do that when he wont pick my calls?  Will he even come home tonight or opt to stay at the apartment?

Please stop calling him, apart from making him feel like. . . you know what, never mind that. Just let him have the space he obviously thinks he needs, he knows you called a couple of times, so there. Focus on something else, like. . . how the boys are adjusting to going back to school, now those are real babies who need attention.

sistawoman:
I just hung up the phone with my ex-boyfriend talking about this very issue.  His comment to me was I never knew you to lie about something so small, so there must be something about him or something he has said that made you want to lie to him.

The truth is I did not want to disappoint him.  This is the third appointment we have had that has been rescheduled, the first by him the second by me (I am temping at my job and did not want to take time off) and this one by me.  I think he believes I am not serious or something.  I thought I would be ok with going and letting the children come home but I was not.  I was a nervous reck all day long.  I went to my son's school twice to check on him.  If he was home he would have seen that.

If he was in the car with me yesterday morning when i dropped off my son he would have seen me cry.  But he wasnt so he really did/does not understand how upsetting my son growing up is to me.  My son is turning into a man and I don't like it one bit.

Still he wont take my calls and I don't want to call his best friend again.  I have sent several text messages and left a couple of voice messages.  Nothing no contact.  Once I resolve not to talk to him hell will have to freeze over to get me to open my mouth.  He really should not push this issue with me.

The sarcasm was not ment to be disrespectful but he kept saying i was hiding something and so the sarcasm was kind of like yea right I am telling you the truth but if you don't believe me then let me give you what you want, do you believe me now.

How long before he decides he wants to talk?  How long do i wait to call his best friend/brother?

Your ex sounds like a sensible guy, so what happened with you two and what's his number? Lol. . . I kid, I kid. On a serious note, that's a very good question and this talk about not wanting to disappoint him gives me pause. Like I said earlier I'm not try to add more to your issues but have to understand that except you are not a human being, maybe one of those super human hybrid from a far away planet, there is no avoiding disappointment i.e disappointing and being disappointed.

The only way to have that is if you are ready to constantly walk on egg shells, watch everything and anything that comes of your mouth and twisting yourself into an uncomfortable pretzel to please this man, also keep in mind that this is not a boss or a co-worker you see for a few hours a day. . . this is your husband, Are you ready to live your life like this? I doubt it! If you can't be yourself with the person you have sex with, then who? I think it's time you both sat down and talked about things. . . and don't forgot to put the sarcasm gun back in the holster, okay?  

Please don't call his friend or brother. Guys hate that. . . trust me, it's like you're reporting them and you know how fragile and easily bruised their egos are.  

One last question - What do you think will happen if you disappoint him? Do you think we'll loe you less or even leave you? I hope not. . . coz it means there is something seriously wrong somewhere.

Dr. Dre's 20-Year-Old Son, Andre Young Jr., Found Dead

Cause of death is yet to be determined.

By Chris Harris, with additional reporting by Shaheem Reid
Andre Romelle Young Jr., the son of rapper and pioneering hip-hop producer Dr. Dre, was found dead in his Woodland Hills, California, home Saturday morning, according to Dre's representative. He was 20 years old.

An autopsy was conducted on Young's body Monday, but a cause of death has not yet been determined, pending the results of a toxicology report, a representative for the Los Angeles County Coroner's office told MTV News. The coroner's rep confirmed that an Andre Romelle Young Jr. passed away Saturday, but was uncertain if he was Dre's son; Dre's rep confirmed that information Tuesday (August 26).

Young was discovered in his bed at around 10:30 a.m. Saturday by his mother, who attempted to rouse him, the coroner's spokesperson said. Young was unresponsive, so she called paramedics, who responded to the scene. After their efforts to revive him failed, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the coroner's spokesperson, Young had spent the previous evening with friends. His mother told police that he'd returned home Saturday at around 5:30 a.m., and that she'd heard him in his bedroom. Police said they did not suspect foul play.

A spokesperson for Dr. Dre issued the following statement Tuesday on the rapper's behalf: "Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time."

An outpouring of support flooded Dr. Dre's MySpace page in the wake of his son's passing, with fans offering their condolences and wishing the family strength. "Our prayers are with you and your family," wrote one fan.

Poor thing. . . didn't even know Dr. Dre had a son.

RichyBlacK:
Sarcasm, has no place in any serious and/or respectful form of communication.

Neither is calling someone a LIAR or did you miss the part where he did so? Here's a refresher. . .

When confronted with it i told the truth and explained why.  He insisted i was not being truthful so i hit him with some sarcasm I said "yea i am hiding something and i am not telling because it is a seceret and that is why you hide it"

What would you have her do. . . get on her knees and beg for his forgiveness for putting the children's safety first? Give. me. a break!!!!!


Gosh Darn it! Where is a freaking[b] SERIOUSLY ROLLING MY EYES AND I FEAR THEY ARE ABOUT TO FALL OUT FROM SERIOUSLY ROLLING THEM [/b]Smiley when you need one? Ughhhhhhh!


@ Sisterwoman
I'd be remiss in my duty as an gboromiro (pls don't ask me to translate, I can't) if I didn't ask this. . . Why the heck did you have to lie about that? A simple "No hon, not today. . . I wanna be home when the kids get back from school" would have done it.

Not trying to add more to your already plenty but you gotta ask yourself what kind of relationship you have with this man of you can't be honest on something so small.

KarmaMod:
Lmao. Isnt your husband Yoruba? We're a sarcastic bunch, perhaps yours is faulty 

I can quite sarcastic. Actually I'm very sarcastic but I tone it down when im around people who I know such would fly over their heads and then I'D have to explain it all and frankly that takes out the fun thus making it pointless.

If he's mad about it, I guess you're going to have to break it down to him, Maybe he'll finally get it and all will be well. If not, suck it up apologize [size=4pt]sarcastically[/size] and don't bother wasting it on him anymore.

LMAO! I remember getting sage advice from you to tone mine down. 

[quote author=Brash! link=topic=164200.msg2710487#msg2710487 date=1219771263]same as me

What did lightweight people do to you do deserve this insult?

RichyBlacK:
From my woman, or anybody person I take seriously, I do not tolerate sarcasm. I understand them, but do not appreciate them.

Gah! it's times like these I wish NL offered us more smiley options. Honestly, they didn't think this forum through oh. . . how can you not include a [b]SERIOUSLY ROLLING MY EYES [/b]smiley on a website for Nigerians? Come on now! Sheeesh!

sistawoman:
The rest of the story, or should i say the prestory is I canceled an appointment and lied to him about it.  I told him that the other party rescheduled the appointment when in reality i canceled so that I could be home when my children returned from school.  Yesterday was their first day of school and my son (11) has to catch the metro bus to and from school (he has never ever caught the bus as I have always driven).  Also my 8 year old is on her own this year with only her 6 year old brother to walk home with her.

So I was terrified that I would be at this appointment with my husband and one of the kids would get lost or wind up someplace they should not be.  Plus I want to know exactly what time I can expect them at home everyday and the first day tells it.

He thinks I "baby" the children too much and would not really understand why I wanted to postpone the appointment to stay home and wait for them.  So I lied, when confronted with it i told the truth and explained why.  He insisted i was not being truthful so i hit him with some sarcasm I said "yea i am hiding something and i am not telling because it is a seceret and that is why you hide it"  He said fine good bye and we have not spoken in about 24 hours now.

I was mad as hell that 1. he checked up on me, and 2. he did not believe me when i explained it to him.

Oh I see and now I wish I hadn't pressed the issue. Honestly, thinking he was put off by your sarcastic tone had him on higher standing to where he stands right now. Out of respect to you as a woman and the wife of this man, I'll refrain from saying how I think your husband is a silly immature bab and  how I have to apologize to silly immature babies for insulting them by comparing him to them. . . they at least have the excuse of being babies and immature.

Leaving 8 and 6 yrs old to walk home alone from school In this freaking day and age!

Gah! You know what, do me a favor hit him upside the head. . . not sarcastically.

Nonsense.  

Hold up! Do you mean hit as in physically hitting?

What the. . . how do you hit someone in a sacarstic manner?

Lawd-a-mercy! Osirisiri on Nairaland.

You spoke to him in a sacarstic manner and he's angry over that? Give me a break!

If you don’t believe God can lead you to your real spouse, what is the point of the “Order my steps, Oh Lord” prayer? The problem is not God leading you to the wrong person, the problem is people not listening. Simple.

It is in this same token that I also believe that God can also lead you out of a marriage. Now it is here people will fold there arms, shake their heads and say “God cause divorce? Never” but before you scoff, let me ask this

1) We believe God wants us safe, this is why e pry for protection, right?
2) We believe God is forgiving, this is why we pray for forgiveness, right?
3) If we’ve erred wrong, it is not the final for us. . . Because of grace, we can repent.
4) Why then do we take away that gift of grace, the power of forgiveness and the gift of protection from people by condemning them to a lifetime in hell all because of NO DIVORCE

A woman’s husband will be beating her to a pulp, treating her like garbage, does not care for her or the children, can go days without coming home. . . people say no divorce.
A man’s wife is the reincarnation of Jezebel 10 times over, she has ruined him and she has no problem letting the world know her mission is to make his life a living hell. . . people will say no divorce.

What they suggest instead is that the suffering party prays for the other person. Pray the Lord soften his/her heart, pray the Lord cools their temper, pray for this pray for that,. . . Totally forgetting that some people are just born evil and except they want to change, no amount of prayer will do it. How about the suffering party pray to God for themselves instead of someone else? Surely this is not the life He wants for you? You have erred wrong and you here seeking forgiveness? Thank him for his grace and the gift of repentance and then listen. Coz maybe. . . Just maybe you will hear him to pack your bags and leave. “Go in peace my Child, your sins have been forgiven. Your wrongs righted and you now have a new lease in life” This is what I imagine my loving God will say.

Tee hee hee.

Ruby, how can you not know who that is? Haba!!

Better question. . .  who is [b]NOT [/b]the ugliest celebrity in Nigeria.

1) Stella Abodunrin
2) RMD (When he is not wearing jeans shorts)
3) Olu Jacobs
4) Joke Silver.

Amitabh Bachchan will always be king of bollywood. So let's just take him out of the running

for the new generation

Number 1
Actor - SRK
Actress - kajol

Number 2
Actor - Amir Khan
Actress - Rani/Preity Zinta

Number 3
Actor - Everyone else.
Actress - Ash

Bottom last
Actor - Govinda (I always feel like punching in the face. . . am I the only one?)

by the way, anyone else thinks Ash and Rekha have more than a passing resemblance? Guess that why Amitabh Bachchan couldn't resist having an affair with Ash and now she's married to his son. Now that's how you do it!!!

joshjosh:
in a free world everyone is permitted to agree or disagree without being villified. and it will be nice we have short memory rather than this hounding from page to page.

You are absoluetly right, everyone is entitled to an opinion. However when these opinions are presented as facts or justification for committing a heinous crime, then it becomes dangerous. I need not tell you how many wars have been started based on opinions disguised as facts.

This is a debate that called for logic and by making this statement “A wife being rude and all is no reason to commit murder. Yes you feel emasculated, then get off your ass and get working! As far as I know, men can also be nurses in America - make your money and kick the trifling woman out. But by no means kill or maim her, resorting to base instincts to solve these problems cannot be accepted.” Debosky showed us logic has not fallen by the wayside (Thank God!). As a guy it would have been easy for him to allow his feelings and macho-pride to overshadow common sense but he didn’t. . . Intelligent man and God bless him, I say.

What we had so far was some people saying “I don’t think murder is right but. . .”

I’m sorry but when you add a “but” to a statement about not condoning something, you are condoning it. No if, what or . . . but about it.

There is NO BASIS OR JUSTIFICATION for taking another person’s life and ranting and raving about how some people feel too big, lie about what they make, sleeping around or how uneducated they are, will not change it. Period.

God bless and help my people from whoever wants to kill any of you

Thanks and right back at you.


@ Debosky
Thanks for washing away the bitter taste from my mouth. Fearing that you might not be here next time, I won’t chance it by returning.

debosky:
@ tpia

the idiotic mentality is not restricted to nurses husband's alone

A wife being rude and all is no reason to commit murder. Yes you feel emasculated, then get off your ass and get working! As far as I know, men can also be nurses in America - make your money and kick the trifling woman out. But by no means kill or maim her, resorting to base instincts to solve these problems cannot be accepted.

The case of a 'crime of passion' can be understandable, but still not acceptable.

Nurses should beware - do not get married to a controlling man who will kill ou if he feels a need to re-assert his masculinity.

You are a good, intelligent man.

God Bless You.

Oh my God! I honestly don’t know if I should cry or laugh at what I am reading. I am beyond speechless that people will take one person’s bitter & baseless suppositions as facts.

To the people agreeing with DeepZone, I beg you. . . tell me what evidence she has shown you for the following statements. . .

1) These windbags called American nurses have a way of getting under your skin and it's not surprising they extend it to their homes by consistently treating their husbands like they are a pariah.

2) To further prove this hypothesis about nurses; are there not other Nigerian women in other professions in America? Doctors, pharmacists, CPA's, engineers, lawyers, teachers, programmers etc and all the aforementioned clearly make more money than these nurses, why haven't you heard their husbands hacking them into pieces.

3) Nigerian nurses are also notorious for sleeping with their coworkers,


4) They are usually half educated because they didn’t go through the main stream school system in Nigeria


5) Her PR will be sound and not laid back. So, I think these nurses suffer from half education(education is not only maths, english and anatomy) and the ones that read the nursing in America in most cases did it as full grown adults(usually with kids) so, they never had a taste of any extracurricular activity in a standard tertiary institution.


6) In other words, most of them are "Jew" women. Pay a "Jew" woman that amount of money that she never fathomed in her life and see her start misbehaving like a Bohemian peasant that drank one pint of vodka.

7) Remember, in most cases, these nurses were brought to America by their respective husbands, their college fee was paid by these men.

8 ) They may never get the degree in the first place if they had to work 40hrs and read the nursing and it'll be very unfair for you to destroy the man's life after you have your degree and making "tonnes" of thousands to insult, aggravate and announce


I suppose it is okay to make all these baseless, ridiculous statements just because DeepZone “happens to know a lady now in MD that is rushing through nursing school as fast as she can because she's planning to leave the man that is footing her school bills citing that he's too old for her. Is that not using somebody?”

There is no denying women and men use each other, there is no denying married people face marital problems, that some people get so angry, they lose their minds and commit murder, there is no denying there are professions which are more stressful than the others causing a strain on marriage. . . these are facts and I’d think as intelligent people, who literally have the gateway to more knowledge at our finger tips; we would be able to tell the difference between facts and ignorant baseless statements by someone who obviously has an ax to grind (Good catch Chioga)

How can anyone sit back and watch someone disparage an entire group of people based NOT on any study, survey, experiment but personal feelings & guesstimate and agree with it??

How can people allow themselves to be spoon fed crap and not question it? Is it laziness?

I ask you. . . how can anyone read this hate-filled post and not be left with a bitter taste in your mouth?

Goodness! All that is left is for Deepzone to call for the burning of American Nurses on stakes and I must say, I won’t be the least bit surprised to see people lining up with their touches held high, after all Hitler also managed to convince “supposedly intelligent” folks Jews needed to be destroyed.


@ DeepZone
For the sake of real debate, please don’t use Hypothesis in the same sentence as your Hate speeches.
