Jenny is pregnant?!!

Awwwww!! Congratulations!!!!

What month should we mark down for the Party down under?!!

ileobatojo: BLOODY HELL! Sisi! Where have you been?!! It's so funny that earlier today, I was a half minute away from posting 'where is Sisi' on this very thread, but I didn't know if you would see it!!

And as usual, you have picked up right where you left off. Making a whole lot of sense!!

Good to see you!

Ah! Ile, there are some threads that just weakens you, threads so brutal in its honesty about reality....it saps away the energy to type. This thread was it for me!!

I am so into crime shows (don't call my interest macabre oh, got that already from my siblings ) and I just started watching the "Women in Prison" series, would you believe that about 65% of the women in prison are in there because they killed the men in their lives? I am not talking the greedy lemme kill him for insurance money type women oh, I mean women who killed their abusers. Woke up one day, said enough and pow pow pow 3 straight shots to the head. Majority of them say they actually feel freer and happier in prison than they ever did in their own homes (Can you imagine?)

The two questions almost always come up is

Question 1 - Why didn't you leave?!

Answer - I loved him.

Question 2 - - Then why did you shoot/stab/maim him?

Answer - I just wanted him to stop hitting me.

Nothing worse than someone using the love you have for them to hold you to ransom!!

Disclaimer
I am not saying women should get guns and start killing people oh....abeg, nobody quote me on that. Alls I am saying is every woman should have a gun. . . .

Gosh! It's so so refreshing to know that no matter how enlightened and broad minded we say we are, the core of our Nigerianess....the part of us which makes us feel the need to oppress the already oppressed because it's how we can show we aren't one of the oppressed, will never change.

A person comes on to share her problems and just because some people were "magnanimous" to give her a there there part on the head, they believe it is their right to speak to her anyhow? She must accept every insult thrown her way, after all we were kind enough to even pay her some attention. She can't stand up for herself oh....hell naa, how dare she? Isn't she supposed to be a victim?!!!

So because she responds back to a group of people insulting her.....suddenly her abuse at the hands of the man she loved does not count anymore? Really?!!! I mean seriously?

How anyone who supposedly understands ABUSE and all that it entails can compare the relationship one has with a group of faceless people to an intimate relationship of 10 years is absolutely beyond me. If one is a victim in one area of their life, they gotta be victim in every area, yes? Brilliant!!!!!!


I tell ya, If the online head patters expect absolute acquiescence from the head pattee....one wonders what response is worthy for the real life honest to goodness hand holders...a liver? Kidney? The first born child perhaps?

Ah! God Bless us wonderful people...Nigerians.

delinb: @ileobatojo Given 1 Million chance I will marry my wife serious

Awwwww! This is what you need to tell her. She just needs to feel assured of her standing with you is all.

My own sha is she shouldn't dare try to cut you off from your son or even treat him in any way but good and kind coz the gloves are gonna have to come off (I'm serious oh ). I ain't asking you to be suspicious of her every move when it comes to your little darling but just don't take anything for granted.

All the best!!

dr dams: Egbami o!! Where did I talk abt touching hormones..

1. PROLACTIN is an hormones dat facilitate milk production - my tot abt hormones here was breastfeeding and d motherly bond.

2. U r contradicting urself. Ok as pple av said here, its hereditary, meaning even cutting it off wont stop it frm transferring to ur offspring.
Dat simply implies that all ur generations will keep cutting their breast off.
If it sex linked, most females in ur generation will be breastless ( if they choose to be proactive as u said)

3. The fact that its hereditary even makes d matter worse.

Lol! No be you say read between the lines.

Your initial post before you modified it was more particular about the artificial boob and subsequent posts touched on the lack of hormones in the artificial breasts. In the grand scheme of things I.e life and death what does it matter if she has artificial breasts?

You lot drool over breast implants done for the sake of pure vanity, yet a woman putting her health first becomes an issue to be discussed....what gives naa?!!

As for the other part of your post talking about contradiction of hereditary and surgery....might I suggest you go do more reading on the subject?

ibkaye: Don't propose to her and prevent her from making one of the biggest mistakes of her life in case she says yes, gahd

Lol! IB...where have you been?!

I agree with you jare, pray to God OP does not propose. Let the girl go her merry way.

ileobatojo: Nope. There is no such debate whatsoever. There are hereditary types of cancer including brea*st cancer.

Can you imagine....read that and just shook my head. How would he know when all he cares about is his right to touch breasts with hormones.

About 4 months ago, the famous actress had a mastectomy done and she wrote an OP ED about the experience. Here's an excerpt from that article on the role the man in her life played.

I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive. So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition. Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has.

For any woman reading this, I hope it helps you to know you have options. I want to encourage every woman, especially if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, to seek out the information and medical experts who can help you through this aspect of your life, and to make your own informed choices.

In case some of you don't know what a mastectomy entails, here's a step by step detail on what's done.

Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people’s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action.

My own process began on Feb. 2 with a procedure known as a “nipple delay,” which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the area. This causes some pain and a lot of bruising, but it increases the chance of saving the nipple.

Two weeks later I had the major surgery, where the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers are put in place. The operation can take eight hours. You wake up with drain tubes and expanders in your breasts. It does feel like a scene out of a science-fiction film. But days after surgery you can be back to a normal life.

Nine weeks later, the final surgery is completed with the reconstruction of the breasts with an implant. There have been many advances in this procedure in the last few years, and the results can be beautiful.

OPs girlfriend went through all of that and instead of praying she recovers well, he is here whining about losing out on a chance to touch real breast...and that's not offensive at all at all. Welcome to bizzaro world, y'all.

For those interested, you can read more about Jolie's procedure HERE and about mastectomy HERE

To all the lovely women suffering from this horrible disease, I pray God heals you in Jesus name.

To every woman out there, please if you think there is a possibility you might have breast cancer (based on family history) please get yourselves checked. Heck even if you don't think there is a posibility still get yourself checked. Don't worry about any other person's opinion. What is important is your health.

eldoradoxx: It is very unsavoury of you to have made such irritating comment on people who are sick. It is wicked and insensitive of you to do this. Atleast 1 or two persons reading your comments must have lost or nursing a cancer patient and its unfair for you to write that. Moderator pls remove this rubbish.

You know what's offensive? Someone using the fact that a woman chooses to place health over vanity against her.

Do you know how many women are in the cancer ward right now because their fear of reactions like OP kept them from being proactive?

Do you know how many women balked at taking preventive measures like getting a mastectomy because they didn't want to be unattractive in the eyes of the men in their lives?

Do you? Do you?

When you do then come back and talk to me about offensive. Until then I'm gonna have to say please STFU because you obviously have nothing of worth to say. You don't find the thread offensive (in case it flew right over your head, OP is more worried about his need to touch "real breast" than the hereditary aspect of this horrible disease...which is by far a more compelling cause for concern) yet you find my comment about the REALITIES of Cancer offensive....what a joke you are.

@ OP
I find it hard to sympathize with you because you didn't tell your GF you have a thing for walking corpses.

You should have been specific about your preference before the surgery...now you have to deal with a healthy woman as opposed to a cancer ridden, hair losing, body aching, vomiting every minute, lethargic and often times wheelchair bound woman (is it the utter helplessness that turns you on or the moans from severe pains? I know...it must be the sallow skin! Oh never mind...I don't wanna know)

My only advice is for you to just go to the nearest cancer ward and find a woman, who was unfortunate enough (fortunate for you of course ) not to have taken preventive measures before the cancer hit and propose to her....after all she still has her real breasts.

Leave the one with the "fake hormoneless boobies" alone ojare...some poor sod who can see beyond his own needs to understand her reasons for doing it will scoop her up in no time.

15 years down the line when he still has his wife by his side to help raise his kiddies and you have...well ya know, guess who gets the last laugh? That's right....YOU! Because you have...had a wife with hormone laden brestisis.

^^^Yep and one can't count out the women who come in and out of the nail shop. Seriously what on earth is an 11 yrs old girl doing at a nail shop? That place is like suana or Saloon where women, for some reason, feel very comfortable discussing really intimate stuff with others.

There is a chance the poor child is just repeating what she's heard from someone(s) who comes in there all the time. She sees this well dressed, beautiful and very put together women and like any other child would do, hangs on to her every word because she aspires to be like them. She probably has no real understanding of what she said but think it is must be a wise thing to say because the woman she admires said it.

@ Topic
Awwww!! This is sooooo effing cute!!

Daddy you tried bathing him like that oh. I couldn't do that even if my life depended on it. I tell ya, if they haven't reached the standing on their own stage, its bathroom sink or bathtub WITH bath support straight up. Don't even get started on any attempt at trying to hold them when they are wet talk more throwing 'em in the air...say whaaaat? Hell no!!!!

Well done and more grease to your elbows. Wish you and your family the best.

ileobatojo: Is he going to give you problems after marriage because you are better off educationally and financially? That should be your primary worry, not what people are saying. He may act just fine now but once you become wife the number one thing he may be after is your 'submission', and you know what that means in the Nigerian context, don't you? Every little disagreement will become about you disrespecting him because you earn more. When dating, the discrepancy is not prominent since you are not a materialistic and demanding woman, after marriage is when the inferiority complex might surface. @

In short, marry him only if you are sure it will not turn into all that. Find out about his parents marriage too and his dad's role, that may give you some insight into his beliefs. Find out from him too, approach it in a way that won't let him be dismissive. You need to really talk about it IMO.

Exactly!!!?

@ OP
It goes beyond him being able to take of you OP or loving you for that matter, it is about how accepting of him of who and what you are. As long as you are certain he's not the sort who won't see every little thing you do as an affront to his male ego because you have a degree and he doesn't or try to "Bring you" down to prove his "manness". . .I say go for it.

Of course this is all based on the assumption that you are accepting of who and what he is....Not 5 years down the line you start thumbing down your degreed nose at him. If you think at some point this is gonna be an issue...abeg let him go. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't want him to better himself education wise....just don't make it a deal breaker in your marriage because you met him like this and he didn't lie to you about his background.

Training local insurgents to carry out attacks on Americans and innocent locals thereby giving them an excuse to launch an attack has been a tried and true trademark of the American Govt. They believe it is the only way to persuade an always reluctant congress that there is a need to go to war.

Nice to see after many years, they haven't lost their touch or even attempted to be more subtle. Guess if it ain't broke don't fix it is something they also believe.

Since we can't vote for people, can we make/support suggestions coz me I agree with the suggestion that the co-mod be male...the cabal needs someone to do the heavy lifting (Am kidding oh....not about the male co mod but the cabal part )

jidegirl12: Here's the thing, after 13 years of being with Justin, I've become pretty accustomed to him constantly challenging my preconceived notions of my own limitations as well as my notions of the world around us. In the short run,

That is what it is all about in a nutshell...with PRECONCEIVED being the operative word.

Because we've built this relationship that has little to no dependencies, we both fully know that we are in this relationship because we enjoy each other's company and help each other be better together. We stay together because we want to be together, not because we are afraid not to be together.

Brilliant!!

Chillisauce: https://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/sleep/t2246.gif

Rotflmao! I know! I know...didn't realize that shite was that long until after posting.

Na wa oh!

Like my grandma will say....Egba ni ela ja (pardon the spelling).

If we are to put into account the money rolling in from the TV shows, endorsements, appearances, book deals etc for the HBB people, there's no doubt they are also very wealthy...so how did this become jealousy from poverty stricken people?

How did talking about some celebutard become battle of the omo baba olowos vs the omo baba talikas? I've gone back and reread the thread to make sure I didn't miss a personal insult on anyone here that would explain the washing deledele pronounced on previous posters. We ARE stil talking about two sets of wealthy celebs, yes?

Honestly, I'm still trying to understand how innocuous comments on a thread is a measure of one's bank account or upbringing? How is finding the way one family is trying to remain grounded in the face of their sudden fame and fortune interesting become about talikalism?

I repeat again....Egba ni, ela ja. .

I take full responsibility for bringing the Kardashians into the discourse (not that I can deny it of course) and I thought given the context in which they were brought up in relation to the HBB folks, it is obvious it isn't about money but the fact that most folks (on yahoo especially) don't think they deserve to be on TV because they are not pretty and their everyday life isn't glamorous enough. Most folks miss the poignant attributes listed by CC in her first post because of their knee jerk reaction to their unglamorous looks and lifestyle.

If people wanna watch the merits of a bikini wax over shaving, that's their prerogative but don't down the people who aren't living like that even though they have the money...this and only this has been the basis of the debates on yahoo.

How this became about those with limitless bank accounts vs those who have to check their balance before making a purchase is quite frankly....beyond me.

We are talking about celebs who don't know we exists and got our asses handed to us because it means we don't have money? Abi am I being presumptuous in assuming none of us are related to these celebs? If I am...abeg forgive me oh, I don't mean any offense and I most certainly don't mean to bring anyone down to our lower class none celebrity knowing and related to levels oh. Its just that this is the internet and its hard to know who is who....even if one cared to.

Like I said I read and reread wondering where the vitriol came from and I still don't get it. How did we go from HBB and Kardashian to revealing ourselves as poverty stricken?


How do the words we type reveal how much wealth we grew up in? If the fonts we use came in cheap, medium cheap and obscenely expensive, then twill be obvious who the cheapos are...no?

So How? How?

Since dissecting every single letter for obvious and not so obvious wealth meanings is outta the question, I've decided to chuck my confusion up to the lack of understanding of the rules concerning topic interconnectedness on NL. This is a better explanation for how some comments seem to just come outta left field... you are left scratching your head.

Yep, no doubt there must be a link missing somewhere and I promise amma find that link. Until I do abeg some of y'all will just have to pardon the "what the what....how did we go from this to this" and "What has that gotta do with this" statements that will no doubt show up in my posts from time to time.


Back to topic
Stillwater don't flog me abeg, it is not my fault...Blame Joel Mchale and the soup Lol.

Lol @ Jenny and Ile.

Jeeeedus! All we poverty stricken, enemyy of progress, jeloxing people...you can't take us nowhere sha.

This our yamayama behavior so deep seated musto come out even on the interwebs where no one knows jackshite about us and even care for that matter. Haba naa! Even our choice of reality show reveals our low classy selves. Ah! We need serious headwashing...honestly.

Abeg where are the awon yeeyee oohs? We need some heavy chanting to start the ijile headwashing ooh.

Can I beg you ladies join me as members of the HBB defense league on yahoo frontpage?

Honestly we need more defenders because sometimes it seems no one else sees beyond the lack of aesthetic beauty (for lack of a better word) for the happy family they are.

It quite dishertening that people will pick the pretentious and lack of depthiness (totally made up word) of the Kardeshians over this family. The Shannon-Thompson family is a far better representation of the average family out there which revels not in wealth but love, understanding and support.

In an ideal world, these are the qualities which should be celebrated but since we live in an effed up world, we have to contend with the vain glorifying of a family whose entire fortune is based on sex tape.

(Ehm...errr...I hope it is not obvious I have spent way too much time thinking about this?)

Jonathan?!!!!

Okay that's funny.

Comedy night on NL I tells ya.

Katsumoto: The only folks who don't agree with the article are those who believe that life is good simply because they are in a very small group of Nigerians who are doing well. They believe that Nigeria is great or improving because they can get on the net, travel to places outside Nigeria, watch F1 races in Dubai, drive the best cars the world has to offer, drink 500k worth of champagne on Friday and 600k Hennessy on Saturday. All the while forgetting that there are millions who are worse of today than when OBJ started his civilian tenure. I remember going to a bar on the Island with friends a few years back and Linkin Park was playing in the background. I commented happily a bar in Lagos was playing Rock music and this chap took me up on my comment. Proudly boasting about how the latest global hits were in Naija even before places the UK. The idiot couldn't boast about the first class education, infrastructure, development, etc that should have been in Nigeria.

The level of injustice and extreme frustration in Nigeria is unprecedented anywhere else given the resources of the country.

God Bless you!!!!!

esere826: great
almost sounds as messiahnic as Samson's tampering of the pillars and getting rid of a section of the Phillistinian elites

...the only problem like the oyinbo man suggested is that the next 100 legislators plus, might continue from where their elders stopped

Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Brilliant!

@ Kairoseki77
I see you edited your post....finally read the article, eh?

Wise Decision.

@Kairoseki77
Did....did you read the article?

I mean I know it is longer than the usual 1 paragraph written in 2Go style words y'all are so used to but if you wish to respond to something in an intelligent manner. ..you gotta read AND understand it first. It's the least you can do.

SimonAndal: _

Will be graduating soon, but that ain't the point. They have this twisted reasoning that they're doing it for me (whatever that means). I don't need a sibling to bog me down. I perform better on my own, it's a tested and proven fact.

They think that maybe this will keep me from "running off abroad".

Dude, relax yourself!!!!

No one is gonna leave a child in your care...at least not yet.

Lol...Please go easy my Simon, 19 years being an only child and suddenly gets hit with the news of a sibling? It's bound to throw him for a loop. I'm sure once he gets over his initial shock, he's gonna come around.

Lord knows many of us probably didn't react well when we were told we would be getting a younger sibling ( I know I didn't ) and the timing in between wasn't this far off.

Oh Simon, forgot to add....wet tissues, make sure you have loads of it and no whites, better get used to brown and black. You'll thank me later (Okay now, I'm just yanking your chain Lol)

Lol...Aww, you poor thing.

Look at this way, you will be leaving for Uni soon (if you aren't already) so you don't have to deal with the nitty gritty.

And don't worry, Momma and Dad are gonna live very very very very long lives (Amen)

Simon! Simon! Dearest Simon!!

This is what you get when you invoke the name of the great PTB (Illuminati) carelessly!!

They always find a way to getcha!

Pucker up, hotshot....you gon be Big Brother now

I know it's a little unorthodox but hey life will be boring if we always do the expected, so....

The Very first E-Baby Shower for a Soon to be Big Brother!!


My Gift to you!!

Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

Efe we are assumming the mother in law believes she was being mean to her daughter in law. Most of the time these women see their behavior as being protective of their sons. So any hope of her changing because of her near death experience will not stand oh. Matter of fact wifey just played right into her hands. "Ehn, see when I was saying there's something evil about her, you people were telling me to shut up. Shebi she's now shown herself to y'all. She left me to die! That witch left me to die! If she can do this to me, she can do worse to my poor dear son."

The husband forgiving woman who left his mother for dead? I just don't see it, I don't. And even if he does, I can't imagine why she would stay (the wife I mean) how does one continue a marriage after that kinda thing. ...She left the mother for dead!!! She didn't burn the woman's rice or give her watery soup, SHE LEFT HER FOR DEAD!!!

Quite frankly I will be weary of anyone who is ready to forgive me for trying to kill their mom.

I am almost convinced the story is not true because that's question that would be whirling in a sane person's mind (Well as sane as one can be after dismissing the natural instinct to quickly go help).

What if by some miracle the momma survived?!!

Why is my post hidden?
