Who expected a black country to top a list made by the whites? Can the cockroach be declared not guilty in a court of hens?

Bede2u:
You all are funny. Travel and see that Nigeria is only better than the poor west African countries surrounding us. Apart from them, No country is worse than Nigeria in the world
You know where we lost it? When we scraped the 4 regions for this nonsense arrangement where federating entities dont make effort to grow their economies because they are expecting oil money.
NNPC is even not a viable company. Just another ponzi scheme by our crook leaders. An oil company without viable refinaries? Only in Nigeria.
Can we go back to the regions and look inwards. We are fast being left behind by countries we started this journey with

Daguccizgreat:
So even Botswana's curgency is far ahead of naira in terms of value. Oh no,who knows the naira may be occupying 110th position courtesy of the bunch of clueless folks we have in Apc led government. I weep for this country

That was how aunty Sade died single at the age of 86 and aunty Bola's grandchildren sponsored the burial...
Ladies, chose ye this day whom ye shall listen to...

sirthisthickkal:
It depends. If I am a sex freak I would go for full house wife, but if I am the materialistic type a working klass lady would do. The best I prefer is a equalizer house wife who would be able to satisfy my urge in times of heat and who would be able to provide money in times of distress.

The following are some secret of marriage a mother should tell her daughter who is due for marriage.


#1 Enter and stay in a relationship
for the right reasons

“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.” - Pride and Prejudice

Mothers must teach their daughters that true love is about affection, selflessness and gratitude, and letting go. If those qualities are not a part of a relationship, then it time to reconsider your steps! The fear of being alone or societal pressures are not the reasons to stay with someone. She should accept a proposal out of genuine love.


#2 Love is not to be tested

If you love someone you never make them walk through fire, do you? Testing someone’s love is just like that. In a way it is a sign of one’s own fears and insecurities. Daughters should be taught to have unconditional trust in her significant other, the strength of the relationship, and herself. This will prepare her for a healthy relationship. While opening up to the idea of sharing your life with someone might be scary, isn’t it is also what makes the journey of life rewarding?

#3 Let love radiate from within

You cannot love and respect others unless you have oodles of it for yourself. After getting married, even if you are not practically living with your in-laws in the same house, the relationship with them and other significant elders does matter a lot. You need to do things for others and sometimes even place them over youself. Do not worry, if the origin of love is from within, nothing can stop it from being a perennial spring for everyone!


#4 Room to breathe and love

Every relationship needs time and personal space to bloom.
Remind your daughter to give her partner that breathing space. Tell her to not let feelings like over-possessiveness, jealousy or even curiosity override her basic sense of judgement. More importantly, to also keep alive her interests, hobbies, spend time with friends, and also some alone time- she needs it all to feel fulfilled. There is always plenty of room for romantic love.

#5 Food for the soul

A mother must give her daughter a diet that is rich in self-esteem and confidence. Jess Weiner, writer and a self-esteem ambassador, says, “Believing you are enough means remembering that nothing in you needs to change to be loved.” Teach your daughter that someone who tries to convince her otherwise is not the man for her. Remember daughters, if you do not believe in yourself, nobody else will.

#6 Your body is not an object of desire

Ah! That three lettered word- the ouch talk! Mothers should teach their daughters to love their bodies- another important lesson in self-esteem. Your body deserves pleasure, and is not an object of lust and “use”. If you don’t teach this, who will? Her body is not only to be loved by her partner, but also for her to take care of and experience its joys. Talking about it positively puts her in the driver’s seat.

#7 Marriage is not “for giving up”, but forgiving

The first few months of marriage can be fairly challenging. Especially when it comes to arranged marriages when the partner is chosen by the family, and the girl has to accept her husband with all his “goods and bads”. It is important that mothers teach their daughters to first be comfortable with, and accept their own shortcomings. Thus, it would become easier for her to accept her better half as she realises that people are not perfect, and that rather than giving up, letting go of certain things is the key to happiness.


#8 Write your own fairy tale

“Mr. Tall, Dark, Handsome” comes strumming his guitar as he descends his white horse- tring tring- it is time to wake up and smell the coffee girl! Tell your daughter not to model her life after Cinderella or Rapunzel. Real love is complicated, and comes in all different forms. But it is not difficult to write your own fairy tale, once you have leant about the keys to a happy relationship.
Secrets to a happy, healthy and long married life is the best gift you can give your soon-to-be married daughter today. So, go ahead and make her life more beautiful and fulfilled.

Love you all nairalanders

Pls ignore the error and enjoy the post I am not perfect ooo... Ehn Ehn

Single life is sweet especially for those running away from responsible and commitment. It seems there are more benefits from being single than married

Being single is an integral part of growing up, where u get to know yourself, your talent, abilities and your needs, your gifts and most importantly your weaknesses and how you are able to manage both. Alot of people jump into marriage without working on themselves, all that comes to there head is marriage especially ladies who are still in their finals, fresh graduates and those above 30 and still counting ....

Being single help you learn how to trust yourself in meeting life’s challenges, and to trust your judgment about others and when to call upon them. You have time to reflect and to consider, to understand what drives you and what satisfies you and how to develop resources to meet your life goals..

1. You can serve God better when single than being married, because ur focus will be on God alone, Just like the likes of Elijah, Daniel, Paul etc.

2. You have the liberty to choose what you want without considering the interest of any Partner, it your life your business, your choice.

3. You can speak with people freely, without having to worry about the impact your opinions might have on a partner. U can woo anything in skirt and trousers. Without feeling you are cheating on any body except yourself

4. You can make your own friends, whom you don’t have to share or explain to anyone .

5. There is peace and quiet at home whenever you need it

6. Being single will encourage you to join several organizations and social groups that interest you and allow you to share in gregarious times.

7. It helps you spend money on yourself without having to share with any partner, have only yourself to square up with and have no need to plead with any partner for the opportunity to purchase what you want.

8. You can eat in a way that is healthy for yourself without having to compromise or be tempted by a partner’s choices. Some people prefer eating onions in suya while their partner eat the meat. That is a selfish love which you don't have to experience being single, except u are a maga or a mugu

9. You are free to enjoy a sensual and sexual life with anyone without feeling
guilty abt anytin. You are able to sample as many ladies or guys as u want. But be careful of the unknown, just saying

10. You can focus more of your energy on your health, your interests, your journey, your education, your life..

Before u condemn me pls take note of the fact that I am not against those that are married because I will get married at some point too, noontheless I feel it better being single because there are people who are married who wish they can turn back the hands of time while there are people tired of been single..
Enjoy ur single life while you can
Add yours without insult ejo ooo, mi ole pari wo. ( I can't shout )

I didn’t know what on earth made me wake up late to work. I got to the BRT station at Ojota by 7:15am, that is one whole hour behind the usual time I leave for work.


I started sweating profusely when I saw the long queue of people at Ojota waiting to board the few available buses in sight. I knew what was waiting for me already at the office. I needed to shunt the long queue by all means; I made up my mind to beg people in front, yes,people at the beginning of the queue. By my calculation, fellow ladies were out of the equation,so I decided to work up to the guys to ask for their permission to sneak into their front. Luckily for me, the first guy I begged accepted my explanation and created a space between him and the person before him. I squeezed into the space. On a good day, I wouldn’t have allowed any guy’s body to come closer to mine let alone rubbing it. This morning, I didn’t care. As I squeezed in, I heard a few voices grumbling at the back, questioning the young man that allowed me into the space.
Before long, we were all seated in the bus waiting for the ‘pilot’ (that is what they call BRT drivers in Lagos) to commence the journey to CMS in Lagos Island. In the bus, I was sitting by the guy who made it possible for me to be in the bus at that time. The moment the bus set off, the guy cleared his voice, he cleared it again and again. I waited for the words to begin to flow. Nothing came out.


I knew right within me that the guy was finding it difficult to break the ice. He was nice to me some few minutes ago, so I decided to help put him out of his misery. I opened the conversation. I started by thanking him for allowing me to move in his stead. I painted a picture of the misery that singular act had saved me. I paused and looked in his direction, he simply laughed and looked the other way. I was expecting him to carry on from where I stopped, none of that happened.


We had a break of about five minutes. The way he kept adjusting on his seat and other body languages spoke volume of his willingness to chat with me. The guy was simply restless.


At this point, I had to switch on my mischievous side; I imagined how a grown and handsome man like him was finding it difficult to engage a lady in a meaningful conversation. I would ask a question, the guy would answer. One liner answer. Nothing more than that. He couldn’t make contact with my eyes as he answered. He couldn’t even look in my direction either. He kept a straight face.



The rest of the conversation went this way…


Me: Which is your bus stop?
Stranger:Leventis


Me:Okay. I am going to CMS.


Stranger:Okay


Me: Is that where you work?


Stranger:Yes, I have a shop in Balogun market.


Me:Hmmm… You didn’t dress like somebody going to the market. You look very smart.
My stranger friend simply laughed and looked the other way.


Me:What is your name?


Stranger:I.K


Me:What is the full meaning?


Stranger:Ikenna


Me: what do you sell?


Ikenna:I sell female hair extensions


Me:Nice, I will come and patronize you then.


Ikenna:Okay, when are you coming?


Me:Maybe this weekend, if I have the time. If not, I will come another time.


I didn’t say a word to him after that brief conversation, I pulled out Chimamanda’s Americanah and started reading . Ikenna did not utter a word too. I kept quiet until we got to Fadeyi when I resumed teasing him. It was fun looking at Ikenna as he blushed. Men blush too.


Me: You didn’t bother to ask my name?


Ikenna:Sorry, what’ is your own name?


Me:I won’t tell you, you didn’t ask me on time. If I hadn’t asked you, you wouldn’t have told me.
Ikenna cast his gaze on the floor of the bus, he raised his head after a while and looked out of the window. He looked everywhere except me. I wasn’t ready to quit the game, I was having the fun of my life.


Me:Ikenna, you won’t beg me to tell you my name?


Ikenna:Tell me nau.


Me:Is that how you beg?


I almost laughed as I watched Ikenna squeeze his palms. So men squeeze their palms too?
Ikenna: I have begged you na, you don’t want to tell me.


Me:Hmmm…Ikenna beg me now or I won’t tell you again o


Ikenna:But, excuse me; how do you want me to beg you again?


I was surprised he had such energy in his voice. Or maybe I was beginning to irritate him?


Me:am I disturbing you?


Ikenna:No oo



Me:Are you sure?


Ikenna:yes


Hmmm.. Nice assurance. An assurance that encouraged me to tease him the more


Me:Do you have a girlfriend?


Ikenna looked at me, he wanted to answer me but changed his mind midway. His half opened mouth closed. What you may call ‘sealed lips’.


Ikenna:I won’t tell you, you didn’t tell me your name.
See this guy, suddenly, he wants to take the game to me. More like,na my area be this o, fire, make I fire you


Me:hmm… Ikenna you don’t want to tell me, huh?


Ikenna:I don’t have a girlfriend
Ahh, that came out too quick, I thought he had turned a corner.


Me: Really, why?


Ikenna:Nothing. I don’t have.


I moved a notch higher. Second base jare.


Me:Do you like me?


Ikenna: I don’t know


Today na today, you must answer me Ikenna. No, I didn’t say that to him. Yes, I said it to him….in my mind


Me:You don’t want to talk now?


Ikenna:But I said I don’t know


Me:Ok. I’m not talking to you again. I can see you don’t like me.

For where? I didn’t mean it. I wanted to see if he would talk.


Ikenna:I like you. Tell me your name first.


Me:Are you sure you like me?


Ikenna:yes


Me:If you like me, look into my eyes and say yes
How else can you explain the word, putting someone in the spot better than what I just asked.
Ikenna looked at me but didn’t muster the courage to say any word.


Me:You are getting closer to your bus stop o.
Ikenna looked at me this time and said “I like you.”
Hahahaha… I won. I didn’t know some guys could be this shy. Now, I know.


The bus pulled up at Leventis, Ikenna waved bye to me as he alighted from the bus; I held myself from bursting into laughter as I waved back.
