platinumnk:God bless you, jare. |
doyin13:Funnily enough, no! ![]() chic2pimp:It's soooo mean to say to someone "you're fat!" Especially when they're not really! There are people who are undeniably fat, but size 14 isn't unless maybe you're a small child or a midget. This guy was NOT fat! Not even a bit. He just wasn't naija-guy thin (which can be quite thin, I've found), but like an Ugo Monye- type of rugby player. Or ok imagine a much taller Yakubu (who is a little big for a footballer at times but not like fat in real life). It's like for Nigerians if you're not skinny, then the next thing is you're fat, no in-between. |

Show Me What I'm Looking For- Carolina Liar |
I think it's good that she told you. I mean she's still a cheat and somewhat untrustworthy, but at least she'll tell you every time she's unfaithful, and to me that's the best kind of cheat, because 1.) they're not insulting your intelligence, 2.) they're not sneaking around like rats, 3.) while they might not respect you enough to stay faithful, they at least respect you enough to confess. Personally, my first instinct wouldn't be to want to marry a guy who just confessed to cheating on me, but yes, I'd respect him for coming clean, so I kind of see where you're coming from; if you're willing to settle for a cheat, you might as well stick with an honest one. But sometimes, male or female, you need to realize that you deserve someone trustworthy, and not just settle. |
Dancing in the Moonlight- Toploader |
Bohemian Like You- The Dandy Warhols |
^^^^^^ That's why it's a stupid thing to do. But sometimes sha, the things our people sometimes do to ruin our rep outside, it's painful and can make you feel really defensive, but still no reason to be lying and denying the fatherland. |
Zombie- The Cranberries |
Was it like an ultimatum? i.e. "will soon be over unless _____?" It's very strange and a little disrespectful to say that with no explanation and with no other context (unless you're not telling the whole story here).If it's over she should say it's over and stop leaving you hanging like this or else she should tell you what you did. I think you guys should get together and discuss things, it's not a conversation to have in passing or on the phone. It seems you are actually serious about the relationship and not just there for the "intimacy" so I think you need to actively find out what's up with the girl. |
Fine Again- Seether |
I think because in some places with a high naija concentration, some bad eggs might have given naija girls a bad rep so they're trying to pretend to attract the non-naij bunch and seem more exotic. I don't know sha. I would never do that. Not only because it's incredibly stupid, but also because I would actually die of shame if I was nabbed like you nabbed those girls. |
Stay- SaftetySuit |
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! <shakes head> I think your head exploded yesterday! ![]() |
doyin13:you've started! you're not serious! Size 18 is definitely on the big and juicy end of things which some may call fat, but I wouldn't even start saying fat yet. I've seen FAT and size 18, though approaching irrevocable fatness is not quite there yet. So no, in my opinion you're not fat yet. |
You guys should stop saying the girl is fat. Size 14 isn't fat. The other day I was out and a woman said "please help me give this to that fat man there." I looked and it was a guy just built like a rugby player, I mean no way was he fat. It was like na wa o. |
FL Gators:I wouldn't go as far as to say attractive. . . I mean I'm not dying to date it. . . but I think it's fascinating in a weird science kind of way. In one sense, I want to rub it like a ball and in another, I want to poke it with a needle to see what would happen, like if it would deflate or something. ![]() @ topic, I would go for the one with the nicer personality. I'm not that into the "I'm-obsessed-with-my-body" look, nor am I particularly attracted to the "feed me" look. The personality would be the most important factor because I've met some fine guys with some "stank" attitudes and after a while the face begins to look "stank" too. |
LOL!! Well I suppose that's true. You don't see Berti Vogts holidaying in Lagos or Glasgow. So ok he's safer where he is. But look, Amodu is currently at the pinnacle of his career (contract-wise @ least till August abi?) as in what greater height can he achieve than this? Whereas Berti Vogts is kind of in the relative banishment of Azerbaijan. |
I don't think size 14 is huge at all. It's not even plus size. (There's size 30 and beyond sef) Chill out! Baggy clothes will usually make you look bigger. Yes you can wear full-length trousers. I've never heard that trousers made anyone look short. Skinny jeans and cropped (ankle) trousers will make your legs look shorter unless you have thin legs or wear super high heels. How tall are you? What's your figure like? Is it hour glass? Or are you bigger in the hips? or in the chest? All those kinds of things will determine what you can wear. About the self-esteem: I know how it is to have body issues and/or feel self-conscious about your figure. You're not alone in that. Most people to a certain extent are self conscious about weight or some aspect of their bodies. But look at it this way, 1.) at least your body's working-you can see, hear, walk, talk etc; 2.) your body size is something you can change if you wanted- people with nasty attitudes (the types who make nasty comments) usually stay that way forever (i.e. it's what's on the inside that counts, the outside is changeable); 3.) there will ALWAYS be someone fatter than you, and there will ALWAYS be someone thinner, so you need to stop comparing yourself to others because that is really bad for the self-confidence. More encouragement for your size 14 self here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1102572/Happiness-having-size-14-figure.html |
omar22:I can't believe I'm actually defending Amodu. . . Yes Vogts has a real prime job coaching Azerbaijan- the real pinnacle of any non-Azerbaijani's coaching career. Amodu has/had the best job available to him (at his skill level), coaching his own country's national team. So right now he's probably making it out better. Now is he a good coach? NO! I think we deserve better than either (Amodu or Vogts). But I wouldn't take Vogts over Amodu. How is Vogt's better? Since Euro '96 what has he been doing? They're birds of a feather jare. |
^^^^ What about Scotland? Yes he won Euro 1996 with Germany, but had to step down eventually because he didn't do too well with them after that (at France '98 and in friendlies). . . Then nobody wanted him for a while then he went to Bayer Leverkusen where he was sacked, and then to Kuwait (who basically have a new coach every day), then the real SUCKING began with Scotland and after that no one would touch him with a ten-foot pole. . . no one that is, except the NFF. Yay us! He brought his sucking over to us. I'll admit things seem to be picking up for him with Azerbaijan, but Amodu can say the same (qualifying for WC and CAN 3rd place albeit with mediocre performances). I'll say it. . . I'll take Amodu over Vogts because at least he's Nigerian. There's nothing Berti Vogts offered that Amodu did not. The same lack of direction, and just general mediocrity. Why do we need to import that? Berti Vogts (with his Euro 96 medal and all) was a bigger flop than Amodu (with his Euro 96 medal and all). |
tayoccu:It's not only in The Sun but also in The Times, The Guardian, the Daily Mail, BBC Sport, Football365 etc etc. Of course Mancini is downplaying it, but looking at Bellamy's history, I think it is very possible that this story is true. |
na_so:Exactly! Although I'll admit he's a good player with lots of passion, he's violent, disruptive, argumentative, and just one of those people with a bad attitude who always finds it difficult to get along with people. And even on the pitch, you can see it. This is not the first time he's tried this undermining thing with a coach he doesn't approve of (see: Souness @ Newcastle, Rafa @ Liverpool, Shearer @ Newcastle, even Zola when he wanted to leave West Ham). |
Amodu is better than Berti Vogts of course. But that is not saying much as Berti Vogts was awful. Like I will never understand on what basis (other than oyinbo-ness) he was hired. Was it perhaps his "amazing" record with Scotland, a record so "fantastic" their football has still not recovered from it and he'd been unemployed for 3 years before we unearthed him? We really went for mediocre when we went for Vogts. So yes, Amodu is better than Vogts, but that is still not to say Amodu is good or technically sound. We spend so much money on football in this country, we should have a good technical advisor. And I'm not necessarily saying a foreign/oyinbo, someone who has technical ability would be really nice, no? |
doyin13:I'll check out both. I don't know if I have Ake available at home (will have to search and buy/borrow) but my mom was reading Small Island over Christmas and had good things to say about it (so I'll read that next and it better not be depressing o, doyin13). adebayo201:Yes! but again it's not like I've been reading anything philosophical or difficult to understand. Romance, thriller, fantasy. . . it's not exactly mentally challenging stuff. |
@ lightwalk, My reading speed depends on how interesting the book is, how busy I am, how much sleep I need at that particular time. For me normally, I read a 300-page book in about 3 days (thanks mostly to Lagos traffic). If it's a book I'm not really feeling and I'm forcing myself to get through it then it may take up to a week, mostly because I might read other things in the interim. Right now, I'm going through books unusually fast because I'm not really distracted by much else in my free time at the moment, I'm not really reading anything that serious (i.e. I like the stuff I'm reading) and I'm not really sleeping as much so right now I do about a 300-page book a day. That's about the speed I'm on right now. @ doyin 13, Not really. At least not right now. In the past, I have, but I've been burned by quite a few depressing and pessimistic stories so I'm kind of off the African lit for now. I'll probably go back at some point though. . . |
Lol!! Leave me jare. . . I'm currently in a "reading 'orgie' " phase right now where I can't stop. It's kind of out of control I know. Reading is giving me insomnia. |
Stayed up late to finish Play Dirty. Liked it even better the second time round. I've just started Mr. Darcy's Diary by Amanda Grange and want to get into it a little before sleeping. It's basically Jane Austen's P&P written from Darcy's perspective. A few pages in but so far so good. I feel like the author is taking a few too many excerpted conversations from the original; although I guess since she's basically re-writing the same book, she can hardly change the dialogue. |
Kilometros- Sin Bandera |
doyin13:LOL!!! Please try to contain/expand your head. There are so few spokesmen for our movements, that we can't afford to lose any. ![]() |
I agree (with shilling), using the word "love" might be a little premature, after all you don't know her that well as you've said. But I think you might regret not finding out where things could go. I'm also really shy and have a phobia for awkward silences with people I don't know too well so I understand things on that end. Since you guys already kind of talk and know each other, why not invite her to something like a movie. At least you get to hang out with her without doing much talking, and afterwards you at least have that as a first topic of conversation as you get more comfortable talking with her. Another alternative, ask her to help you pick something out (as in to go shopping with you). Either tell her you want to buy an article of clothing or something for your mom or sister or something and ask her to come along with you. Again, you get to hang out with her and get to know her better, but there's something to talk about (i.e. your families, or fashion or something). Once you've gotten a few of those types of hang-out sessions under your belt, you should be a little more comfortable with her as well as able to see the lay of the land i.e. whether she may be receptive to you asking her out. |
H2O2:I know!! And it's so unfortunate. It's almost like guys are expected to be sexually active and incapable of controlling themselves sexually and society makes excuses for them (that it doesn't make for girls): "oh you can't expect a man to abstain" and "guys will be guys." And to me, it's like why? It's not that it's easy to abstain but at the same time, if you're not an animal, you are to an extent supposed to be in control your impulses. I don't think abstinence is easy (for guys and girls); in fact, I know it's hard, and I know for guys the peer pressure to have lots of notches in the bed post is more than it is for girls, so that's why for a guy to abstain till marriage, it speaks of a strong character and a lot of self-control. Both of which, I think are admirable. H2O2:I guess his bible is different. Ok so if he test-drives and the "car" is not to his satisfaction, what then? And I know I'm nobody to judge, everyone lives their lives in the way they can reconcile themselves with God or their beliefs. But it's not good when someone who's supposed to be providing spiritual guidance openly flouts what the word he's supposed to be preaching from. |
