Literature › Re: Ekene Onu: The Mrs Club by Swissess(op): 9:47pm On May 08, 2009

Review
Since the success of Helen Fielding s Bridget Jones Diary, countless authors have offered chick lit knockoffs following the same conventional formula, In the Mrs Club, first time Nigerian author Ekene Onu, drops us into the lives of three trendy Nigerian women living in the United States - Titi, Mina and Amaka each at a different romantic crossroads. Titi (who is single, well, sort of), Mina (who is married) and Amaka (looking for Mr. Perfect) represent every woman and we can all relate to them as they search for love, self acceptance and truth. However Onu s compulsively readable and entertaining book is anything but formulaic. Three women. Infinite choices. Loads of drama. Onu puts a fresh spin on published literature for the Modern Nigerian woman. Mimi Magazine, Jan 2008 --Mimi Magazine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Smart, sexy and successful; These three Nigerian American girls have everything going for them, so why do they feel something is missing? The Mrs Club is a compulsive and entertaining read. You won't be able to put the book down as you drop into the funny and drama filled lives of these three friends!

Romance › What Do You Think by Swissess(op): 9:38pm On May 07, 2009

a English-nigerian couple has been married for ten years.

the girl is not able to get pregnant. they think about adopting a child.

but all of a sudden, adoption is not enough anymore for the guy. he needs his own child. but he is against in vitro fertilization (the church!)

he suggests to go to Nigeria and find a surrogate mother. or a second wife, I don't really know.

his English wife is as unhappy as somebody can be. what about their love, their marriage,

she thinks about letting him go, find a woman, get the child and come back to her. with the child so they raise it together.

but which Nigerian woman would agree to that? are they so desperate that they have to accept such deals?

who knows that song?

the words are something like: I've never seen a girl pass u fine. if you pass for road every other girl for dat road must bow,

izeek:
its a diff call, but if u like her personally then the kids come along with the package.

busi-bodi:
ok, no offense. so your friend must be very old since you said:
hope she is not a pedofile.

no, but after reading here that a guy is concerned about getting married to a girl that is a single year older than him, a difference of four, five years seems to be an eternety.

Bandito, they're very creative when it comes to making money, maybe you ask around. wink

Health › Re: Abortion: A Right Or a Crime? by Swissess(f): 2:41pm On May 07, 2009

kimba:
its plain and simple:

[size=14pt]MURDER!!![/size]

what makes it worse is that the victim had no opportunity to defend himself/herself!!

Think of it this way: If everyone on this forum had been aborted by their parents?

and so what? he or she would just not be here,

an abortion must be a very difficult thing for any woman. I cannot imagine that any woman does it light-heartet or frivolously!
a woman should have the right to decide if she wants the child or not. what if she got pregnant through rape?
that's why I am against criminalizing those women. they are not criminals or murderers!
since there is pregnancy there is abortion. women have always known how to do it.
by making it a crime, these women will not stop doing it. but they will have to do it illegally and that is usually not well done, eg not in a hospital or by a doctor,

when does life begin? that's a very ethical question and cannot be answered here.

I am against abortion. I am sorry for these women who are pregnant and cannot enjoy it. but I am also very much against a law deciding over my body.

baby-mi:

Robert take a step today and find solution to d problem at hand. wish u best of luck oneday HIV/AIDS wahala will be over.

what you said about Love and Respect is nice and beautiful.

But as long as people think Aids / Hiv is curable, the desease will never be taken seriously enough! it's a very dangerous thing to say.

Health › Re: Tampons Vs Sanitary Pads by Swissess(op): 1:50pm On May 07, 2009

I got my period when I was almost 16. and I've used 'ob Tampons' from the very first day on.
I don't like pads: I don't like to see the blood and the smell. Tampons are so clean and discrete that you even forget about your menstruation. wink

sista-jay, my husband married me although I had a child already. but I see that it's not all that easy for him to deal with that,

But why do they have to mess their selves up? and I think it is even good for those clean women that they keep up their pride and they are even seeing the reward.

as you might have guessed, I am not a Nigerian so I don't know.
but what is 'the reward'? sb said, sooner or later the men go and look for the wild ones becaused the 'clean' ones cannot meet up with their needs. is that the reward?

it looks to me as if men want everything. but nobody gets everything in life,

and maybe there's something between 'clean' (=virgin) and a messed up city girl. are there not girls in the city, who are probably not virgins anymore, but far from 'messed up'? what about those?

Dondav:
Forget the movies, forget the words, forget the immaginations;
there is no happy ending with a white lady.

what makes you think so?

Dating And Meet-up Zone › Re: Date Lagos Babe, Marry Village Virgin-babe by Swissess(f): 9:44am On May 07, 2009

But we are not talking about Europe we are talking about here in Nigeria and how ladies even messes their selves up.

so the Nigerian girls have to blame themselves when their boyfriends run off to get married to 'clean' women?

Romance › Re: Would You Get Married To A Girl Who Has Children From Another Man? by Swissess(op): 9:41am On May 07, 2009

but it would be very obvious that your wife is 'second hand'.
or would you claim the kids to be ur own?

Health › Tampons Vs Sanitary Pads by Swissess(op): 9:39am On May 07, 2009

do you use tampons?
if not, why not?

Dating And Meet-up Zone › Re: Date Lagos Babe, Marry Village Virgin-babe by Swissess(f): 9:28am On May 07, 2009

, yes, why?
when they are tired of their European wifes or have achieved a legal stay in Europa, they go back home and bring 'a sister' from the village.

Romance › Re: I Love My Gf But She's Older, What Shld I Do Now? by Swissess(f): 9:05am On May 07, 2009

Hello people, i need ur comments and advice on this. I'm a young dude in a relationship that has lasted for about 2yrs now and discovered 4mths ago dat my gf is a yr older than me n i have been dealin with it somehow, lookin for answers. I love her so much and was actually thinkin she cld be my wife next yr. She also jst found out lately about my age cos we both lied to ourselves from the begining(didnt think it was gonna get this far). Now m not too comfortably with the fact that she's older n she now knows cos i found out before her. We have talked about it n i had to admit to her, since then i v bin disturbed n m sure she has been feelin same too.
Plz pple, i nid to know if age is just a number like they say especially in this part of the world or if we should break up cos i dont want to waste her time.

a year? she's a year older and that's a problem? are you sure you love that woman and know what love is? huh
