Step right in!!

I'm fairly new myself but love this place and have been publicising it to all my friends!!

Enjoy and have a happy new year!!

Were you there with her to veritfy this??

This never fails to infuriate me...

Is there ever a suggestion that David Beckham should notplay in the european cup for England....so why is it wrong for Essien to want to play in our equivalent for Ghana??

The suggestion of culpable clubs and coaches has to be deemed racist!! FIFA must never acquiesce and allow clubs to stop African players going to play in the nations cup.

As for players like Yakubu who choose club over county ... may he never play for Nigeria again!!!

Definitely one who has spent their formative years at home but have now had the experience of being abroad so that their minds are more open to all the wondrous possibilities that exist!!

Queenzy!!!!

Where have u been??

I wish I wasn't at work today!!

A reward in kind as opposed to cash??

So I guess alll those haemophiliac children who got contaminated blood products fall into that category as well

The most beautiful thing on earth is to know you are living a life that is pleasing to God.....

The second most beautiful thing on earth is the face of the one who you love the most as you walk in the door!!

What other kind of reward were you thinking of??

From Egunya Hill to Okesaje

Baptist Boys High School we are proud of thee

In the process of metamorphosis

We are a beacon shining on Abeokuta

Forever and ever, we will hail thee

We will uphold on the great ideals

Sing with smile and shout hallelujah

To the three in one Jehovah most high!!!

BTW whats morally wrong about a woman asking a guy out??

Banderas...

According to your post then I have to choose to support whatever arcane and inhumane traditions that we have ...

Well I do not. I proudly state that I pick and choose from among the various traditions that exist. Those that fit my bill I keep and those that disturb my peace, I discard. I also stated in my original post that I'm not opposed to a woman paying if she asks me and out and states that that is her intention. It has happened to me on more than a few occasions.

Also, to those who say Nigerian women are too selfish with their money, this is not strictly true in my experience. I mostly have female friends and they can usually recount a tale where they have given A LOT of money to some guy that they loved only to see him cheat etc etc. I'm no apologist for naija women and can also recount a list of crimes longer than their weaves but on this issue I think maybe some people are being a bit harsh. My ex- took a loan out to help her ex-BF to start a business and he moved on when he felt time was time (thats not the only one I know). I'm sure you know similar stories.

However, to return to the original point, we take out the women (usually), they treat us as the head of the home (usually) etc etc. We are different...equal but different. Nothing wrong or chauvinistic about that!!

Anyone good at Nigerian proverbs cos I'd like to get a collection and try and use them.

These oyinbo folk need to know that we were dispensing wisdom before they came along....:-)

To reply the person that suggested that I'm perhaps not as emancipated as many others I would actually agree with him.

I think men and women are different. Women do not open doors for men but we d o for them. It's nothing to do with thinking that women are lesser than men or anything like that which would be totally abhorrent but with the fact that at least our women look up to us (whether they admit it or not) and expect us to look after and care for them. Taking a woman out and paying is part of the process afterall it is the man that is doing the wooing!!

In our culture, men pay a bride price etc etc. As an african man I see it as my responsibility to care for my woman and to try and provide for her. Yes, in case you were wondering, a woman these days can earn more than a man and thats ok but the man must still do his bit...he should still take her out and do whatever he can. She can deal with whatever she can deal with.....

Yoruba guy...son of the soil....Egba man...lover of lafun!!

How come you are so fine??
