gosh babyosisi.
goodluck to you trying to correct all the bad grammar. ive given up.

if una like kill me. 
naija guys no dey propose. maybe they do to white women. afterall they arent going to give her the she-goat story!  . she'll wonder if you are running a temperature.
anyway almost all my friends are married most didnt get a proposal.neither  did my girl cousins. somehow our men just mention marriage. not ask you if you would like to. or love to.
only one friend of mine got a real proposal. i remember how we all gathered her to get the juicy intricate details of how it went down.apparently he took her someplace special on new years eve.he came armed with a ring and popped the question. she said you could have knocked her down with a feather. she was soooooo not expecting it. we were oohing and aahing.  .  its different when a guy goes out of his way to ask you properly. when you are old in your rocking chair you'll remember that day and break into a toothless smile. 

congratulations! dont forget its not how much you earn but how much you are able to put aside and save for a rainy day!

david abeg oooooo
I hope no elder ever opens his mouth to make any such declaration.
I won't blame the girl if she refuses to appear from the inner room

she has no choice but to appear from the inner room oh! after they have paid the brideprice she had better.!  

your husband proposed while doing laundry?!  
well thats a practical guy if i ever saw one!  
at least he took you to buy a ring. most naija girls get both the engagement and wedding bands at the same time just before the wedding.
naija guys just look you straight in the eye and demand "when am i meeting your parents?"
sooooooooooooooo unromantic!  

or is it dash?

wasnt it a laptop you were offering?

how much?

davidylan:

Or we came chasing one she-goat in your compound.

ROFLMAO! davidylan you don come oh!
truly! a fertile she goat!

living with my own folks as an adult is something i cant even fathom. my mom will almost smother you with affection and tips. aaaaargh!!!!
how some guys think its ok to not only live with mama and papa in old age but to bring in a spouse beats me hollow!

if They decide to stay there 2 more years she's on her own oh! she'll be dead by then!
what kind of man will torture a new wife like that?

what does it look like im talking about?

The thing is you may have to go over and beyond what you would "normally" do to please your mother in law sometimes. They'll be moving out soon (hopefully oh, hopefully) so the intention is not for her to be doing that for long.

@ Spoilt,

You are not a man so I don't think you will be in the best position to speak for men.
Besides, one or a few men's experiences does not necessarily mean that it is same for all others.

I told laudate that I know how you can live polygamously happy and I meant it, no denial theory and all that. I also said any interested male could call me if they want to know how.

Cest fini.

If you are also interested in knowing how, we can arrange and meet somewhere, then I can tell you.

i dont have to be a man to know that polygamous men brag about how well they control all their wives and children and how they have a peaceful home.That is the joke of the century. its called being in Denial. even if the house is falling down, they are deluded into thinking all the wives get along and all the children are best friends. its just plain ridiculous.

n.b and why would i want to meet you anywhere to discuss polygamy?

i just want you to realize that your mother in law isnt really bad. right now its a matter of territorial displays. she wants to show you that she knows her son better than you. (after all you are just some random woman that came from nowhere! ) most mother in laws feel a little jealous of the new young fresh wife who has "taken" her son from her.
anyway while you still live with her be on your best behaviour. even if you are right and shes wrong dont talk back at her. bite your tongue, clench your teeth (clench your butt cheeks if need be) and say nothing. its the hardest thing on earth but my dear at least peace will reign supreme!
when she sees you arent confrontational she'll probably be less agressive.
and you have to take on extra house work.yes oh. you have to proove your usefulness. if it means sweeping the whole compound everyday , doing the dishes after the entire family house has eaten and cooking all the time.we are talking humility here.it will be hard but right now its almost a matter of life and death.you should be ready to do anything.
all this while you should still be working on your husband to try and move you guys out as soon as possible.
by the time you and your husband are leaving she'll know she lost something and she'll miss you.

was i looking at you?

bread and butter. food is ready!

4 Play:
Throwing food away helps the economy.It means you are consunming more than you need.Your consumption pays the food seller who pays the farmer

hehehe! so if we all throw food away, nigeria's economy will start booming? you no well.

i noticed too. they are gradually reducing the number of strands in each pack. as if i wont notice!

i never heard of it in lagos sha. do i have to go to gboko to eat it?

what sort of thread is this?

never let your husband teach you to drive. i heard the story of a lady who's husband got so frustrated that he gave her a knock. . husbands are not known for patience. most guys learn to drive very young and so they dont understand why an adult woman should have a hard time grasping the basics.

@omoge
your grandmother loves one day garri ke?
isnt that the type that was killing people one time cos the acid hadnt properly fermented? i think thats cyanide.

@babyosisi
you go kill me with laugh. is it precious koko garri you feed to chickens? think how many humans in lagos could have ground that and drank it. quit being wasteful.

olutomiwa:
Una @craxykid no underate those people o,wot they don't have in height they havein between their legs.

eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!

i guess easterners dont have it that bad. i saw this in lagos oh! lagos where everything is possible.

@4play
i like garri.the thing hold me bad. i am very interested in anything garri related. don't be fronting as if you don't like gaff!

@babyosisi
i grew up in naija now. the word koko is so old you can carbon date it.
i went to the market with my mum when i was small and saw people grinding already fried garri. i was puzzled. as a garri researcher even at that tender age  i asked them why and they explained everything to me.

babyosisi cool down. how cant you know koko? or kpo kpo garri  
infact some people go to market and buy just the koko's which have been sieved out cos its cheaper. they take this to the grinders. they regrind the koko and hey presto! they have fine garri .

its the big clumps of garri. garri clots.

i'll be honest. i dont fancy igbo garri for drinking. some people like drinking yellow garri. i dont like that. i believe it should be yellow garri for eba, ijebu garri for drinking.
am i right?

Brymore:
Not completely true. Well, if you are smart, you can be polygamous and escape the juju thing, voodoo, unhappiness and all of that. The only little problem is that you will become a caretaker of your wives and children .

You can give me a call for further details.

#Candid Submission#

men are always in denial. even if the house is rocking with fighting and unhappiness, he just doesnt see it. . he thinks everyone is deliriously happy. its crazy! he fools himself thinking everyone is fine.

I have not been proposed to yet, but i'm not following any guy home ooh if he doesn't officially do it. "just thinking" its ok, doesn't do it for me ooh

@ cute-ass
goodluck waiting for the proposal on bended knee or otherwise.
what you'll hear on your traditional wedding day is " we came to pluck a beautiful flower"!)
