This is one of the best post by far , but we are messing it up by parabulatig around the terms beauty is first of all what you see appearnce as in Halle Berrie, Liz Benson, Omotola Jalade, Marion Jones [i][/i]and their ilks.
secondary beauty is where things like virtue, family connections, status come into play.so if i have to pick and use beauty as a yard stick i would pick Anita Baker to have a beautiful voice while Marion Jones for a beautiful face, Mother Teresa for a beautiful mind, i hope you get my drift.
as for me beauty ie appearance come first i will toast Beyonce [i][/i]first before considering Whoppi Goldberg.
so all those who say that beauty will fade away. should also remember that strenght will also fade away with time but the memory of my lady's beauty will always be with me.

Angel ,
please dont scream, i am just as concerned as you are for Brother Pintos

:opintos, pintos
take it easy, if this your love is one way i sorry for you, but any way thank goodness that at least that she is a member of this community , i was afraid that you may have fallen in love with one elderly newscaster with a nice voice who was probably in primary three when your mama was in primary six

the poison is in my being efficient in whatever I set my mind regardless of time.

my real names are Oshiobugie it means that it is God that makes a way for every body (what you are destined to be).My middle(Batismal) name is[b] Albert[/b] it has a very bloody origin (an axe with a spear handle) my sur name is Omogbai which mean that the child is complete or correct.
Slowpoison is my first nickname it was given to me by my teacher in primary two when I was six years old. He gave me the name because I walk slowly but during games I am the fastest in the class.I caught on faster to anything he taught us without bragging I wouldn't act cocky like other kids my age even when I was smarter than them. in later year I have found out that I have not really changed that is why I have gone back to my first nick name because it really defines me as I am

I would cheat them by dressing like a Benin chief they may not know that I am a man putting on a male attire
what would you do if Bill gate gives you half of his dough.

Why do Nigerians talk too much without really thinking?

I have observed that Nigerians talk too much. Rather than keep quiet, they feel that they have to respond to every situation with noise instead of thinking about how to remedy things.

I will give an example: today in my cyber-cafe one idiot was stealing my time. I just restarted his system from the server. Instead of being ashamed of stealing he came up to me to ask why I did not inform him that I wanted to restart his system. [He threatened] that he was going to disrupt work in the cafe for three days, that would stab at least one person each day, [et cetera]. Some guys started begging me to give the idiot some free time; I just laughed at their faces, telling them that we pay way too much attention to adults tantrums in this country.

This talking without reasoning is worse within (some) families. I know when my neigbour's wife wakes up everyday from the noise she makes while cursing her children, especially the girl that still wets her bed. She starts with "atole, oloriburuku, omo ale, koni da fun hen, oma ku baje" bla bla bla <translation: bed-wetter, bad child, your life will not be ok, spoilt shild!>

And like Fela said, it is only in Nigeria that the government openly comdemns hers people. I know that this may sound cocky, and I really do not want people who enjoy the benefit of having an opinion without the benefit of thought to contribute to this topic as they may just make a lot of noise without adding anything to the topic.

if abubakar, fatima  zainab are nigerian name then mary paul & philomena are nigerian names too (why we too dey hurry for this country) everybody should learn from me let your poison be slow that way they will feel every second of what you want them to feel.short forms like femi, chuks should not be accepted.seun lets start another subject nigerian names a to z and thier meanings&place of origin it would be nice to know the meaning of some of the names AIT guys bear

Hello dablessed,

Are you really serious about the fact the after 30 something odds years I can learn how to swim? I have never entered a larger pool of water than a bath tub. I think that I am a genetic hollow block there is no river where I come from.

Confirm that I can learn and I shall enrol in a swimmiing club as soon as I get your reply.

what an issue?
Sickle cell anaemia is the one that i am going to talk about here because it touches me personally. and I have done plenty of reading about it.
1) SS is a genotype not a blood group.
2) the others are AA ,AS, (AC & SC) while AA is free of this blood deficiency AS & ACare carriers of the genetic (trait)deficiency while SS & SC are sufferers of the disease.
Sickle cell disease is geographically located,it is found along the malaria belts of west africa, north africa & a small part of asia. some scienctist say that it is a natural mutation of the blood to combat malaria as carriers of the sickle cell trait (AS) have more immunity to malaria. I visited a south african health web site www.health24.com and to my surprise the gonecologist whose profile says that she has over 10 years genecology expirence does not know what AS genotype is, she asked me to explain AS that they dont have it in south africa.
All available statistics on the ratio of sickler from the marriage between couples who are carriers (AS) are just permutations. I have talked to a 40 year old sickler who is the seventh of eight children & the only sickler. I have met a lady who has four children that are AA even when the lady & her husband are (AS) carriers of the trait. I have a neigbour with 3 son of which 2 are sicklers. I have heard of a couple whose four children are all sicklers.so lets not use statistics either for or against couples with AS marrying.
If we say that it is a disease, what is the medical remedy or cure?. for now there is non mainly because it does not affect the whites even when they come to these geographic zones. but it can be managed - how we perceive and react to sicklers in this parts should be changed we should first of know that it is not the sicklers fault if a sickler says he is tired we should accept it as a fact rather than looking down at them as lazy people which leads some of them to suicidal efforts even when they are really bone tired. then parents of sicklers should as much as possible treat them like their normal children but they should also make them aware of their condition which may require special attention being given to them like taking special drugs and food from time to time, the sickler i met says that she has not had a crisis in the last 25 years because of her family's love, her medication&attention to her body needs if she is felling weak or tired she take time off to really rest and feeding. parents should show them love & should try as much as possible not to show this sicklers that they are a burden to their parents. because some of the things some parent have said to ther sickling children in anger & frustration are unbelieveable are etched deeply in the minds of this sicklers.the 40 year old sicklerIi mentioned earlier is a cousellor and some of the thing she told me that some sicklers undergo in the hands of their family is harrowing.
Placing sickling babies on 125mg of pennicilin per day for the first 5 years of their lives helps to build their immunity & reduces the frequency of their crisis.
Why am I so interested? you may want to know,Ii am a carrier (I have AS genotype) and recently when I wanted to move from a short dating period to courtship I found out that the special lady is also a carrier of the trait. the knowledgde is gut twisting.it took a while though to even become rational again and she has still not gotten over the shock we are still consoling each other.(to nip any unnecessary controversy there is a world of difference between dating & courting, dating is when you are going out as friends, geting to know each other while courtship is when the two of you have decided to get married, here both of you can now tell your folk that this is the person I want to marry)
If not for the fact that we are both catholics we would have gone ahead with the marriage plans because there is what is called aminocethensis by which couple can detect the genotype of the baby or fetus in the first 2 weeks of its life to decide wether to have the baby or to abort it.

I don't get angry easily, I repeat, I no dey quick vex, stababy don't you want to be like stella, is president obasanjo not ugly, for your infomation na him be the prsident of atutupoyoyo association of africa.

Stababy enjoy your moment in the sun or the heat of the toasting because if they stop toasting you yyou go go spiritual church for deliverance.

I don't like getting personal, but permit me, e be like say you still be teenager. Go ask older women even your mama mates them go tell you say men old & young ones still dey use style show interest for them. So stababy if you true true fine just know today if you no know before say men both fine & ugly go toast you when them get the opportunity.

You self if that fine bobo never toast you use style toast am no be crime for girl to make the first move. But na serious crime for boy to dey broadcast am say chick dey toast am
