Hmmm, deep. . .very deep thoughts. For me. . .

Leopard Print Louboutin Shoes - 350 (2 seasons ago oh. Who has money for this season's?)

Escada Hight waist skirt - 250

Elle Tahari Cotton top - 95

Accessories (necklace, bangle, earings) - 50

Me as a whole - Priceless!!!

Who taught me that? Why. . .my mama of course.


@ poster
Seriously, you make sense. . .unfortunately, in a dog eat dog, survival for the fittest world like Nigeria, some girls don't have a choice. I'm not condoning it. . .I just wonder why these dirty old men can't find it in the goodness of their hearts to just help these girls instead of sleeping with them. Is Philanthropy dead?

Hi Emma,
I'm sorry to keep harping on this but why did you ask the girl in Nigeria to marry you if you say you can't be yourself with her? I just don't get it. . .were you planning to spend the rest of your life pretending to be something you're not or were you hopping that after marriage you can finally be yourself? Honestly, this is where the whole "you've changed, you were never like this when we were dating" starts from. Give her the chance to see the real you. . .who knows maybe then she'll also be able to express herself more. Women have been blessed with a sense of intuition. . .maybe she's getting that you're not being yourself with her and that's why is why she keeps things bottled up. . .not knowing how you'd react. It seems to me you're both tip-toeing around each and this does not bode well for your relationship.

It does seems like you've made up your mind about this girl in the US. . .which is fine and good but in my opinion, you didn't give the other girl a fair chance. Please know that I am in no way trying to dissuade you from what you'eve decided, I just want you to think carefully. . .there are not one, two but three people's emotions at play here.

I'm actually going through witdrawals and the teice a day showing on Comedy Central is not cutting it for me. I can't wait for the new season (and sadly final seasosn) to begin.

@ sisikill
Boston legal still supercedes the practice, entourage is cool

That is still debatable. Glad you enjoy entourage. . .most guys don't because they expect every second scene to be of one of the guys. . .except Turtle of course, in bed having sex galore

scrubs is kind of childish

*Gasps*
Bite your tongue man! How can you say that? Oh I bet you enjoyed Martin and The Jamie Fox show when they were still on air. No wonder you can't appreciate the comedy that is Scrubs!

I'm surprised someone like u hates despicable housewives , lol

Rotflmao. . . okay, i kinda get the feeling I've been insulted here but I'm too lazy to find how where. Sadly You are not the first to say this. I don't understand why people think I'll like this. No offense to those who like but to me, it's stupid, over-overacted, stupid and instead of portraying women as smart and powerful, it potrays them as schemers who will go to any Length to get their wish and did I mention stupid? I'm gonna tell you favorite fantasy. . .but you have to promise not to say a word. . .you know like they do on Despicable Housewives (love that name by the way). Promise? Good. My fantansy is someone will mistaken drop a a bomb on "hysteria" Lane and they'll all be blown to smitherings. Aaaah, sweet sweet Fantasy.

Why now?  The idea that he loves her but can't touch her because it would lead to her demise intrigues me. Honestly, try it more than 3 times and you be Tivoing it. Trust.

Lost. . . the truth is I'm ambivalent to it. I've seen a few episodes but I'm still waiting for that draw me in factor. Don't shoot me oh but it reminds me of Gilligan's Island. Can't you just see it. . .

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this Sydney Australia
Aboard this Boeing passenger plane.

The mate was a mighty doctoring  man,
The Iraqi Guard brave and sure.
70 passengers set to fly that day
For a thirteen hour trip, a thirteen Hour Trip

The weather started getting rough,
The heavy plane was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The minnow would be lost, the minnow would be lost.

The plane crashed on ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Hugo (I assume from his looks he's the bumbling one)
The Doctor Sam Sheperd  too,
The millionaire's daughter Sun-Hwa Kwon and her husband
The former Rock Charlie Pace
The Nigerian criminal priest Mr. EKo (I love how they juxtaposed Criminal and  Priest and Of course it's had to be a Nigeria. . .coz we all know us Nigerians are the most sanctimonious people on earth and they now gave him the name Mr. Lagos the land of sanctimonious lots everywhere. Brilliant, I must say)
Here on an unknunknown breabeautifullyserved tropical Island


So this is the talen of the castways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb if they they don't kill each other first

The Iraqi Gaurd and the Doctor too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In the tropic island nest.

No phone, no lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
As primative as can be Except for a few times when the cnnect a palm tree bracnch to a wire from thier crashed plane and comminucate with the outside world but get cut off right before thry give their location
So join us here each week my freinds,
You're sure to get a smile or roll your eyes as they talk about the "others"
From seventy one stranded castways,
Here on Lost's Isle."

You Guys Should Help Me Please ! What Is Wrong Again ?

What is wrong? You really want to know what's wrong? Okay here it is. . . You keep doing the same thing over and over again! How hard is it to stop snooping? If you don't trust her, then break up with her. . .what's with all the covet moves. Jeez!

Okay not only that before she came into the sitting room, when browsing through the phone i saw name that was stored like this exactly [b]"myhero"[/b]i quickly checked the number, i saw it wasn't my number.

wahala2007 
This is me signing on the dotted lines. . .so much for cyberlove. Ours didn't even last a day!!!

oyb:
thank you o. . .

abeg no vex. . .i'm just being sarcastic.

you will observe that i referred to mr wahala as sanctimonious.if you got through his previous posts, you will find that he keeps harping about the fact that todays girls have no morals ,etc. you will also find that he isn't bothered about the morals of men.

Hey don't mind me, You'd think someone who uses sarcasm as a weapon I'd recognize it when it's directed at me. . .besides, how can I vex with the future father in law of my my unborn. . .not even conceived the daughter? Yes, by hook or by crook. . .that handsome boy will be related to me. So prepare yourself oh. . .and don't worry, our village people don't believe in dowry anymore. All he's going to need is his cute smile.

4Him:
the poll isnt statistically significant just yet.

Whew! So. . .ehn. . .when does it become significant? I need to know so I can figure out how to start posting from multiple computers. Oh Snap. . .did I say that out loud?

4Him:
I'm perplexed when i see otherwise reasonable adults base their concept of a lifetime of commitment on a few hours of a "soooo beautiful" wedding.

Oh come on! Stop trying to reduce the issue to that. if it was that simple. . .we won't be here now, would we?

Hey, Seun. . .I demand a recount! I think that poll is rigged, rigged I tells ya!

Busta:
one word: "Ignorance"
you don't have to agree with me and I don't have to agree with ya

Like I always end my postings. . . .every man to each his own.
at the end of the day, You will have to carry your own darn Cross and I'll carry mine.

Truer words have never been spoken. Honestly, what happened to live and let's live?

Back to the Topic. . . [size=14pt]NO I WILL NOT END A RELATIONSHIP OVER RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES. NO SIREEE BOB!!!  [/size]

What type of religion tells you to go strap belt bomb around your waist and blow innocent folks up? What kind of Teachings is that?

ROTFLMAO. . .Please tell me this is a joke? No one could possibly have said this with a straight face? Ay yi yi. . .we have a long way to go.

4Him:
Not everything you disagree with should be categorised as judging.

But you are judging when you say emphatically that these people are simply practicing their religion on paper.

If everyone were your father . . . what a wonderful world this would be. We wont have to put up topics such as this.

ALL the men in my lives who are M u s l i m s are like that.
ALL the men I've come across at one time or the other who are M u s l i ms are like that.
ALL my friends' Fathers who are m u s l i m s are like that

But that's not the point is it? See, I deliberately misunderstood what you meant when you said Taliban. . .I know what you are really talking about is the extreme Jihadist who took what was supposed to be a something good and used it for their own agenda? Have you ever tried researching what Jihad really means? I’ll save you the trouble. . .in the simplest way I can put it without going into much detail, it means striving to improve one’s self and society. Is that what the Bible also calls for? Don't you get it? Just because a certain sect of one religion decide to take a portion of their Holy book and use it as an excuse to be destructive, does not mean everyone of that religion is like that.

That's like me saying The Church of God with Signs Following is the epitome of what all churches are.  In case you haven’t heard about them, they believe in carrying snakes around and drinking poison as part of their religious services. If the snake bites you while you are holding it, it means you are not a true Christian or that you have no faith. I hope you are gasping in shock wondering where they got that notion. . .wonder no more my friend, just check out Mark 16:17 -18 . Many have died because of this practice . . . where is the chant of Terrorist?

Ever wonder why Jehovah’s Witnesses refuses blood transfusions in spite of the numerous evidences that a pint of blood can save lives? Because it’s in the Bible . . . Acts 15:28 – 29 and Gen 9: 3 -4. Many have died because of this practice . . . do you call them terrorist?

And for funsies. . .ever wonder why some Jehovah witness churches don’t have windows? Some say it’s to keep the outside world away, others say it to keep the devil away and even more say it’s to avoid persecution. Seriously?!!

Every religion has its extremists and it's hypocritical look focus on one while turning a blind eye to the other.

4Him:
Siskill and damola are making me take more than a second look at this issue.

LOL. . .and that is what makes life interesting. Can you imagine how boring it would be if we could only see the outside world through one window? Yikes. . .I know, I'd slit my throat from boredom.

Cheers, friend. . .it's been fun sparring with you.

4Him:
We can fantasise all we want on "love conquers all" . . . that one only exists in novels.
Spiritual compatibility between couples is very essential for a marriage to work.
The bible says little foxes spoil the vine . . . after the lovey dovey honey moon period when both man and wife settle into the routine of married life, it is those tiny little differences "that didnt matter" while they were dating that will draw them apart.

The only way such marriages will work is if one or both of the couples is simply practicing his or her religion on paper only.
It is hard to see how you will cope with a husband who wants his children dressed taliban-style while you struggle to meet up with bible study.

Excuse me sir, you say the bolded part of your post so matter of factly, I have to wonder. . .is it your Christianhood/Christiandom (take your pick) which gives you such insight to make a judgement like this?

And the taliban-style dressing? I'm sorry but I don't know what this means? What I do know is that in the all of the years my father was alive, I've never seen him dress in anything but his traditional attires for parties, jeans and shirt for lounging and buisness suits for work.  Neither did he ever force any of his sons (four of them) to wear anything out of the ordinary.

By the way, in the times we live in, the word Taliban connotes something dangerous. . .I don't know if that's what you were going for but if it is, I must say. . . it's sad that we choose to see things through an extremist point of view.

@ busta
Almost 40 yrs until my dad died but that still hasn't stopped my mom from celebrating Sallah or going to the mosque for his remembrance.


@ Aisha2
I feel you. . .I really do.

I am not against people quoting bible but please have an understanding of what you are quoting. . .some just  regurgitate the wordsthey hear without thinking it through and it pisses me off. I hate to get into religious debates especially in a forum that's supposed to be for fun but I guess I'm can bend it a little.

Take the "be ye not of unequally yoked with unbelievers" quote now. . .

1) Who is an unbeliever? Some will say it’s someone who isn't Christian? Oh really? So why. . .pray tell, then do we have the different Christian denomination fighting amongst one another. So a Baptist can’t marry a Catholic or Anglican or Redeemed. So there goes that theory . . .

2) Let’s try the next one. . .is it someone who is your church member but has not reached your level of spirituality? Obviously if you believe in going to church 7 days a week and they think Sunday is just fine for them. . .doesn’t that make you unequally yoked? Another theory in the trash can.

3) Let see another. . .You are a gbim, gbim Christian, he isn’t anything. . .okay, not that he isn’t anything, he just refuses to put a label on what he is. He believes in God though, he prays and he even has a couple of Christian CDs that he meditates on in the privacy of his car. He respects your beliefs and has never once stopped you from going to church . . .but since he doesn’t go, he is obviously unequally yoked, right? Yep another theory kicked to the curb.

I can go on and on with but I will be digressing from my real point which is and someone please correct me if I’m wrong…. but isn’t the whole unequally yoked set in place to help couples avoid future problems? Yet we have a couple who are both Christians,  who are on the same spiritual level, attending the same church but are contemplating divorce. Meanwhile on the other side of the street is a Christian woman and M u s l i m man who have been together for years and years, good people, good parents and still love each other. . .however, according to the verse, These are the ones who are unequally yoke?

Lmao. . .can you honestly say there nothing wrong with this picture?

4Him:
This thread is long on idealism, fantasy and alice in wonderland sentiments but extremely short on truth and reality.

Then please do enlighten us on the truth and reality. No better place to have a discourse on this matter, no?

wahala2007
You want me to divorce you before we even start our cyber loverness? Be nice now, not everyone will agree with you. . .it doesn't mean you gotta be rude about it. Anyway, you still own a small piece of my cyber-heart.

oyb:
look, there are no virgins on nairaland. go search somewhere else.

the last thing the shameless, remorseless, worldly  fornicators of nairaland need is a sanctimonious prick blathering about finished products etal.

I was ready to lambast you for that statement about no virgins on Nairaland until I saw the picture on your profile? Is that your baby? Oh my God, my ovaries just exploded that's how cute he is. Can I have him? Please? Please? Preeeeeety Please? No? Aaah, I understand. . .I wouldn't give him up if he were mine either.

Now that is one heartbreaker in the making.

wahala2007:
Victimized?? I 'm hearing that for the first time.Though a girl(virgin) shouldnt go about boasting about her status,she shoudnt be scared of letting people know,when they ask her
On the other hand girls who celebrate and are celebrated for the numerous number of men they have slept with are sick,depraved and mentally retarded.
This world is getting crazy every passing  moment.The opposite is the rule rather than the exception

Oh You'd be surprised by the stories out there. . .girls who think there's something wrong with them because they are virgins. It's so sad.

wahala2007:
lol,why? .Supose your soul mate is a younger man

LOL. . .God knows what I want and a younger man as my soul mate isn't one of them. Sorry. Hey, there's nothing that says me and you can't be cyber loooooverrs!!!! As long as I won't get cyber-bitch slapped by a virgin girl who's got her sights on you.

aisha2:
I left a very good man, one of the best men to ever walk this earth because of religious differences. My dear, if you ask for my oppinoin now, i will say religion is all politics. I have now refused to believe any person or instruction that says i have to hate someone else because he does not have the same believe as i.

Religion instead of being an instrument of love and peace has turned to be a grooming institution for hate, segregation, and oppression. I want to believe we are all created in Gods image and he loves us all, I will not beleive any religion that makes me think contrary

I couldn't agree more. Religion or the idea behind religion is supposed to bring us together. . .love one another yet it is the major divisive factor on earth. Why? Because MAN (and I mean man in the general sense) has found a way to use it as a tool to further their own selfish agendas.

It saddens me to read people say they won’t have anything to do with someone else from another religion. What happened to tolerance for goodness sakes?

kufreabasi:
No religion will take you to heaven.

God and A l l ah Bless you my brother.

No! No! and a Resounding NO!

I am a product of mixed religion

Mother - Christian
Father - M u s l i m

And it worked perfectly. . .both learnt to make accommodations for the other's religious beliefs. Not once. . .at least not that I've ever heard, did one tried to convert the other.

Sallah comes, All the children with mom and Dad are there to celebrate.
Easter Comes, All the children with mom and dad are there to celebrate.
Ramadan, my mother wakes up with my dad and whichever of us wants to fast to help prepare food.
Our naming ceremony was done in both Christian and M u s l i m rites. All of us have M u s l i m and Christian names.
A couple of my siblings go by their M u s l i m names and the rest go by their Christian names.
My father has entered into a church and thunder did not strike him down,
My mother has entered a mosque and the floor did not open up and swallow her.
Never once did they make us kids choose a side but as we grew older. . .we all sort of gravitated to which religion suited us.
Despite  the religious differences (and if you really look at it, aren't that different) they both believe in the fundamental beliefs of raising children who

A) Believe in God
B) Study & Obey His words
C) Treat others with kindness
D) Live a life acceptable in the eyes of God
E) Obey their parents
F) Don't murder
G) Commit Adultery
F) Don't Lie and Cheat
G) Are Tolerant of others

What more can you ask for? I can't imagine what life would be like if one of them had decided to give up because of religious differences. If two people from opposite religions can make it work. . .I fail to see the problem here.

Ehn ehn, so his wife does not have big boobs and now he wants to know if it's enough reason to cheat. . .
Even though she's always being like that
Even though he knew her boob size[b] before he married her[/b]
Even though they've be married for some years with the boobs still the same size.
Even though he just recently got a taste for big boobs?

I tell you, if all of that is not legitimate grounds for cheating. . .me. . .I don't know what it is oh.

Idiot

wahala2007:
please pray on my behalf. I am lazy in that regard

Aah, don't worry, the mere fact that you don't have a double standard (you know. . . the whole do as I say and not as I do mentality some guys have ) when it comes to women put you on top of my prayer list.

But you have to learn to pray for yourself oh, I know guys can be lazy in the regard. . .it's either their mothers are the ones doing it or their wives.

wahala2007:
I have had the opportunity of meeting several ladies,having acquired 5 years of university education, and another 2 years at an advanced level.Gone are the days when I received love letters.My last love letter was received before my 19th birthday.No more show .Na small small pickin dey toast me nowadays.Imagine a 16year old girl sending her younger sister on  an errand that “she loves me”.Na koboko I go use chase am ,if I go visit my friend again(she is my friend’d younger sister)

Why do girls believe I have a GF? and when I say no,they take offence.All girls I have met so far,has had a boyfriend and indulged in sex.I know if I decide to accept girls for who they really are,I'll get many of them.The only virgin I have seen so far(at 23years) is very proud and an "omo mummy".She says she can only marry a whitie.She even says she can kiss,and I can handle her(which kain virgin be that sef).

Where can I see a virgin of reputable standard and is ready to stand the test of time until marriage?

The more I read your post, the more I like oh jare. . .sadly I don't mess with younger men.

Imagine 16 yrs old! What will she do when she's 18? I shudder at the thought. Your expectations are not unrealistic. . .there are virgin girls out there, they are just afraid to announce it for fear of being victimized. Isn't that funny? It used to be the other way around. . .at least when I was in secondary school but now, girls will even make up high numbers of guys they've slept with to feel sophisticated.
