lomomike:
Sir, must you yabb me like that?
I have not been reading.
Simple explanation you would have explained you didn't instead you wasted that space for nothing.

Well, I wanna know in simple english what you mean by tropicalizing a car.

No grammar na.

Lol

Sir ...I no yab na


There are many level of tropicaluzation from suspension to cooling system and simple grammar no fit catch am

Lol

lomomike:
Op how do you 'tropicalize' a car?
We're waiting for your response pls don't disappoint.

Jeez

Have u not been reading sir

Marpol:
@OP stop spewing ignorance. If you don't know just ask, we have more than willing instructors here to set you right.

I raised many points so which one do u have a problem with

abatically:
Let me ask u one simple question. What would u call UAE (Dubai)? Temperate or tropical? Temperarure and and humidity in Nigeria is child's play compared to UAE. So then why does my uncle's Toyota highlander which was a Dubai import come with a thermostat pre installed? Mind u, most of the bank type Toyota corolla are all built for Dubai market; they come with thermostat and their fans don't spin every time.

What is the function of thermostat in a car ....tell us before we argue the relevancy or don't you believe it tropicalization

Out of 5 clubs there is 3 igbo clubs....but i am a heartland FC lover, used to watch their matches at Wetheral Road

they are eye service lovers..but failing to realise that salutation is not love

papichula:
Gud day evryone, i was going to shop yesterday wer i learn tailoring, i passed the shop beside us wen a gal about five to seven years older than told me dat i passed without greeting her. I know it is right to greet those older than u but there are sumtims ur thinking of anoda tin and greeting is nt on ur radar, i smiled and passed thinking she was joking... In the afternoon me and my senior passed, none of us greeted...she now told my boss dat i dont use to greet...

Thank God my boss is a watsup man so he just told me dat i should try to greet..

The point is
why didnt she complain abt the orda guy with me,what nutrient do people gain frm greeting them dat she does not want to let me be...
Work dat i just started less dan 3 weeks,dey want to spoil my name


yorubas nt all are too obsessed abt greeting,u will neva see an hausa person complaining abt greeting...



Dats nt only the person av seen complaining

To be honest, this lady is one lady i like ..her shape is hmmmmm...oh she is some wife and my culture forbids that but Omo your sexy



Just that age is telling on her

GboyegaD:
She's got it so let her flaunt it.

NA LIE NO BE YOU I DEY SEE FOR TIN TOMATOE SHOP WEY BEND HIM NECK

No doubt it embarrasing at times especially when the attraction is from older men. But being who i am, i have learn to be confident in myself. I am naturally endowed with curves in the right places. Thank goodness who complemted it with a stunning elegance. I flaunt it just the way i like. Haters can die. I wil spit on their corpse. Kisses!

RESPECT BUT DONT REST IN PEACE THERE


LOL

Spare me d fuckin details,i just love mega butts. . . .

IT WAS AN OGONI MAN THAT EVEN COINED THE TERM BIAFRA..DURING 1967 CRISIS, HE SUGGESTED THAT THE NEW NATION BE CALLED BIAFRA

Macelliot:
People misunderstood the Biafra agenda..
facts was that: Biafra wasn't an Igbo agenda only, though it was headed by an Igbo Man....
The term biafra was derived from the Bight of Bonny(calabar)....

The War against the Easterners was not only against Igbos, but the Efiks, Ibibios, Ogonis, Egbemas, Ijaws, Anangs, Ikwerres, and Igalas....
All these ethnic group constitutes the Eastern Region....
Even the Vice-president of Biafra from 1967-1969 was an Ibibio Man (Major Gen. Phillip Effiong) He later became the president (when Ojukwu went to exile), from 1969 till Biafra surrendered in 1970 ....
Biafra wasn't an Igbo agenda but the Eastern Region agenda...
The term (south-south or Niger-delta) doesn't exist then.
The creation of South-south was to weaken the Biafra dream....

I know that, I used to have a car that overheats due to the singular fact that it was from Canada but when I tropicalized the car..overheating stopped, though it burn a bit higher fuel, it is okay than changing gasket everytime


Thermostat is for cars that are in Temperate region not Tropical region...

ogawisdom:
Op dnt let some experts catch u n this ur explanation esp ikenna351

Anyway u ve some point
A car used in nigeria with thermostat removed n fan running steadily will never overheat dts a fact. Yes d only harm is dt ur car burns fuel more only on a cold day for abt 15min or less after first start up b4 it reaches operating temp n runs normal. A lesser harm to d engine if u ask me compared to a daily overheating engine which will cause u a total engine replacement b4 long.

I ve choosen d former to d latter

GAZZUZZ:
Long epistle where's the sauce?

i dont have the sauce but i can look for the source....i think you should be more concerned with the information than the source....

thank you

somegirl1:
Your reasoning is amazing. You voted a northerner to be your president (the highest possible office).Most Igbo states rejected him yet you turn around and accuse Igbos of supporting northern domination. Are you for real?
Why didn't SW team up with the SE or SS to form the opposition party if it wasn't to exclude the SE?
SW is in no place to accuse the SE or SS.
You have made your bed, lie on it.

THEIR REASONING IS BAFFLING ..SO IGNORE THEM

Tdhforreal:
You could have settled all these issues with a photo of that Bigbooty, but don't worry we Big booty connoisseurs believe you

lol

does your car overheat..does it rust easily?

bigtt76:
Ok

Cooling system: this is mostly left untouched, though the thermostat in the engine bay could be set to activate the fans/water pumps at a lower temperature than that abroad seeing that we do not need a long warming up period after cold starts, and our warm weather means our engines heat up faster in use than in cold weather. A word of advice: when warming up your car in the morning, leaving the engine idling with the car stationary is not the best way to warm up, but at least it is better than revving the nuts off your car hoping to reach critical temperature faster. You will warm the engine faster like this, yes, but you are also ruining it because the oil/lubricant has not had a chance to circulate properly and thus smooth off the high-friction circumstances associated with high engine speeds. The best way to warm up your car would be to take off immediately after starting, keeping engine speed low (limit yourself to about 1800 rpm in a petrol engine car and 1200-1500 rpm in a diesel passenger car:

we are speaking of diesels that are below 4.0 litre capacity and rev to 4500 rpm max. Heavy commercial diesels should be operated below 1300 rpm) This technique warms your engine faster, as well as warming up your transmission fluid, spreading the grease in the ball, universal and CV joints and warming up the tyres, thereby optimizing the overall performance of your car. More on this later.


Engine: The vehicle engine is the one that receives the most attention when tropicalizing a car. Sometimes cylinder heads have to be replaced, thus changing the compression ratio of the car (lowering the compression ratio allows a car to run on “dirtier”, low-octane stuff). Turbocharged cars are all the more sensitive to the compression ratio adjustment due to the risk of pre-ignition and emissions control. The high temperatures associated with turbo applications easily cause pre-ignition, a situation where the fuel ignites before its exact moment is due. The hot, compressed air from the turbocharger causes this (Charles’ Law from Form One Chemistry). To counter this problem, turbocharged cars tend to deploy a bit more fuel from the injectors, to create a “wetter” intake charge (air-fuel mixture) that will not be easily lit up by the high temperatures of the forced induction. The downside of this is the vehicle has more emissions per kilometer than a naturally aspirated one, due to the richer mixture being burnt. Running a high-performance turbo engine (like the Evo cars) on low octane fuel causes even more complications: now the fuel won’t even burn fast enough in the engine and sometimes catches fire in the exhaust pipes while under power (and thus high engine revs). This is when a car is said to have a “miss”, characterized by a loud report, not unlike that of a non-repeating firearm, from the car’s exhaust.

The best way out of this kind of fix is to change the compression ratio, thus limiting the car’s ultimate power figures and lowering the rev ceiling to allow for more efficient combustion.

Along with replacing the cylinder heads comes remapping of the car’s ECU, what people call the computer box. The chip is flashed, or re-programmed to change things like the valve timing (variable) and fuel injection, thus catering for lower quality fuel. Valve lag and valve lead are changed to create an Atkin’s cycle-like situation where there is a short intake stroke, with long compression and power strokes. This lowers an engine’s overall abilities but ultimately allows it to run on porridge…almost. Fuel injection is also changed to change the spray angle, the injection periods, and injection times to compensate for the low octane fuel’s slower burning characteristics.
Some changes might also involve the fuel filter, fitting a coarser one, but this is not common.


Some manufacturers go about tropicalizing an engine in a funny way. When they come up with a more advanced (and thus more sensitive) engine for a new car but lack the infrastructure to support their new technology in the third world (mostly), what they do is sell their new model with the old engine instead of the improved unit. The existing material should cater for those “old” compost-burning engines as they have been, and in most cases the customer would be none the wiser.


Others, like Peugeot, simply continue selling an out-dated, obsolete product long after it goes out of production in the rest of the world. The 504, for instance, was killed off in the early ‘80s worldwide, but production continued in Kenya and Nigeria (only two countries) until 2004.
Exhaust system: this is no longer a problem, but before we had unleaded fuel, importing a car with a catalytic converter and feeding it petrol laden with the heavy metal fouled up the cat, clogging it and increased the back pressure from the exhaust system to the engine, thus impeding its performance. Now that we have unleaded, this is not too much of an issue. In the olden days, this problem was solved by simply removing the cat, but this is very illegal in some countries and harmful to the environment.

The cat may also be fitted inside the exhaust back-box, which houses the silencer, so chucking it will make your car noisy (and here comes NEMA with their own interpretation of existing noise laws…)


Suspension: let’s not pretend, up until recently, ours were not roads and highways to brag to anyone about. Poor finish, cliff-like edges and pot-holes that could swallow an entire Vitz characterized our national roadway grid, and you needed a car with tough suspension if you planned to own and drive your car longer than a few weeks. Foreign cars have slightly stiffer, lower-riding suspension systems, complete with low-profile tyres to improve their handling without compromising too much on comfort… their roads are good, so even a car with a suspension set on bed-rock, Fred Flintstone-style, will not break your back. The suspension components are also made from lighter material to reduce unsprung weight and improve steering response and overall handling.


You try that here and your car will fall to pieces before you get through your third tankful of refined crude. Even with the improved (and still improving) road network, we still have sleeping policemen and rumble strips that could shatter your dental formula if engaged at speed. Sleeping policemen, by the way, are not the boys in blue snoozing; they are those fat, elongated bumps that don’t seem too bad, until you hit one at speed and ruin your car completely, after which you treat them with a little more respect.


Cars meant for use in the harsh realities of the third world (and Australia) need heavy-duty suspensions, made from robust material to withstand the incessant pounding that come with driving over cheap-skate road surfaces. They also need to be set more pliable, with more travel, to increase the comfort level as you navigate through highway hell. Some cars have the ride height increased, to add to the ground clearance and thus allow the car to go over said speed humps and/or small rocks in your path. Low profile tyres are also given a wide berth: the fatter rubber/air mattress that is the tyre wall accords improved comfort and shock-absorbing when driving rough. Stiff settings, low ride height, low profile tyres and lightweight suspension materials are for performance driving anyway, which you cannot do when the road won’t allow, so we don’t need them.

Adjusting the ride height, by the way, comes with widening the track to maintain stability which might have been sacrificed when making the car stand taller. Adding spacers between your mountings and the suspension components will just destabilize your car, a fact that you will discover when on two wheels through a corner and your passengers are cursing you in one last desperate breath before they die. Leave the ride height adjustments to the experts, or manufacturer.

Paint: There is not much you can do about this except giving your car a new coat. Those flashy, pearlescent “wet” jobs that come with luxury models (especially Lexus) are meant for places where the sun does not burn too hard. Expose that fancy art to the equatorial sunshine and watch it degenerate into some matte, multi-shaded amalgam of ugliness; either that or it forms some unsightly pustules just beneath the surface that eventually burst, cracking the paint or even peeling it.

Cars sold in such sunny places have their own available paint schemes that can withstand this kind of exposure, which means certain colors or shades available elsewhere cannot be sold locally.
We are not through yet. Brace yourself, because next we discuss the socio-economic impact of the tokunbo market, and if it has reached the end of its usefulness, or if the local franchise holders should get with the program and open up their own grey import channel.

The more reason I will buy innosson or locally manufactured car...

Tropicalization ...Oh I love that word

Tropicalization of cars
The climate conditions vary severely across the globe and car manufacturers previously made cars for specific countries based on their climate conditions without realizing that with globalization the cars do get exported out from the country where it was originally meant for sale in.

Cars made in Europe used to be designed for European climate which were cooler and dryer than sub tropical Asian countries where temperatures can exceed 40C and have humidity over 80%. The direct impact of exporting a car designed for the European climate to Asia meant that the cars were not able to function at its best. There were many examples of cases where the cars would over heat as the cooling system was not suitable for the sub tropical climate. The radiators were far too small and other components were not able to cope with the high humidity leading to premature failure. Some BMWs, Alfa Romeos and Audis that were imported to Asia from Germany or UK struggled to cope with the heat. Many of these cars could barely travel 100km across an Asian city without overheating.

Some interior components also started to fade and peel off as the coatings and linings were meant for dry climate conditions.
The car manufacturers only realized this in the late 1990s and started to do global scale testing during the development phase.


The global testing meant that the cars would be sent to the Artic circle for extreme cold weather testing, Arizona desert for extreme heat testing and also to sub tropical countries like Thailand for high humidity testing. The car manufacturer will produce standard specification cars that will allow it to be sold globally and would not risk premature component failure.

Till today some car companies still struggle to truly tropicalize their cars and do sufficient aging tests to handle humidity. Humidity is a silent killer as the moisture slowly creeps into the components and premature aging will appear within 3 years instead of the intended 5 years.

Tropicalization is not just for car components but also tyres. Previously tyres from Europe struggled in extreme heat and humid conditions in Asia. Many started to blister after only 6 months of use.

Now that thermostat might not be needed in Nigerian car,Till today some car companies still struggle to truly tropicalize their cars and do sufficient aging tests to handle humidity. Humidity is a silent killer as the moisture slowly creeps into the components and premature aging will appear within 3 years instead of the intended 5 years.

Tropicalization is not just for car components but also tyres. Previously tyres from Europe struggled in extreme heat and humid conditions in Asia. Many started to blister after only 6 months of use.




The question remains, is there real wisdom in buying a car that has been in use elsewhere, a place very different from here? Because, the cars that run there, similar though they look to the ones running here, are vastly different in very many ways, right down to the paintwork.

We live in the tropics, while UK, Japan and Singapore lie outside the tropics, or towards the outer edges. Our weather patterns are different, as are our climates. The level of economic development also differs: you cannot compare Dubai’s infrastructure to ours. As such, their roads are different, as is the type of fuel they are supplied with by oil giants like Shell and BP. This means their cars are built to certain specifications: their engines are built to operate within certain atmospheric conditions, while burning certain types of fuel, their suspensions have been set up to withstand certain road conditions, and yes, even the paint has been applied with a certain intensity of sunlight in mind. What happens above Cancer and below Capricorn climatically is not the same as that within the two Tropics. Let us start with the weather/climate and its effect on engine design.

Countries like Japan and UK, from which we get a good number of cars, experience snowy winters with temperatures dropping below 0°C, so their cars have to be made with extreme cold starts in mind. Our worst winter, if you could call it that, goes as far as fog appearing where it normally shouldn’t, with temperatures dipping to 6° in very extreme cases. Out there, 6° is the norm. As such, most cars from these regions come with the radiator filled with some ferruginous stuff that resembles premium petrol somewhat, or what we like to call super. It is red in color. The source of the rusty tinge is the presence of antifreeze, a chemical additive that prevents the water in the radiator from freezing during inclement weather. Nobody wants ice in their radiator, especially when facts like the anomalous expansion of water comes to mind: water, unlike other compounds and elements, expands when freezing, during the formation of ice. That ice could break your radiator or even worse crack your engine block if allowed to form. The antifreeze lowers the freezing point of that water to a level so low that the temperature range where it can now freeze is beyond reason. Our weather rarely, if ever, gets to freezing, so that is one property we do not need.

But do not rush to drain your radiator claiming “I don’t need this stuff, water will do”. You still need the antifreeze. Not only does it make water hard to chill, it also has some antirust and anti-deposition properties. The liquid prevents the radiator and other iron-based channels that it goes through from rusting (iron + water= rust; this is chemistry that even the uneducated can claim knowledge of), and these channels include the water jackets around the engine block. It also prevents minerals in the water from depositing themselves and clogging up those channels with their scum, similar to what eating bad cholesterol does to your blood vessels, or from reacting with the metal components in the automobile’s cooling system.

Sticking with the engine, there is the small matter of fuel grade. Developed countries run some fine lead-free high octane petrol (98 RON) and sulphur-less diesel. The jungle juice that we pour expensively into our tanks around here has a lower octane rating (92 RON), which means some high performance cars, particularly the turbocharged versions, will not last long locally. Ask a man who owns a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution car (Evo VII or earlier) what this means. It is only within the last decade that we switched to lead-free petrol and low-sulphur diesel.

Fuel jetting, the means by which petrol/diesel is sprayed into the cylinders also differs slightly. Our warm weather means that the petrol in our tanks is less viscous than what the Brits experience during snow conditions. As such, the two different viscosities dictate that the fuel will not flow through the injectors at the same rate or be vaporized at the same rate either.
Suspension settings are also made with predominant driving surfaces in mind. Belgian pavé requires soft, pliant suspensions, while mirror-smooth tarmac/cement could be handled with a slightly stiffer setting without necessitating a trip to the chiropractor.
Adjusting a first-world car’s setup to handle third world conditions is called tropicalization, and it usually involves making the following changes:

Let the record reflect that just because we find some of these unattractive- does not mean we will not attempt to sleep with you. Sleeping with you is a different ball game when compared with attraction.

The two are not mutually exclusive!

1. Desperados!

These are the sort of girls that you find at every party, in every bar or night club. And if you’re confused; here are some pointers. They are wearing thick make up, chewing violently on fake gums and standing ALONE clutching unto their little purses! So we can already tell that they either don’t have cars or they didn’t come with anybody they could trust enough to hold their bags. Desperados don’t want to dance of course; except you have a striking age resemblance with their dads back in the village or if you’ve got a tommy to remind them of theirs’ before they got an abortion. But not dancing doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate drinks!

‘Can I buy you a drink?’ “Of course”.

And while you do; she pretends to receive a call in front of a loud speaker!

Listen I’m not saying there’s anything wrong in being bought a drink for; but women who act as though they are entitled to a man’s wallet have got to go! It’s unattractive and it’s downright classless!

2. Blackberry Beggars.

How a classy lady can turn from her ‘whatever’ attitude before you got her PIN to posting sad and teary icons on her blackberry profile, beats me. I mean come on girls; whatever happened to your pride? I know you’re broke- but must the world know? Do you have to post all your problems to the new dude?

But I trust my Naija guys to say-

‘Eeyaa! It shall be well!’

Jokes apart; one thing is certain; if he helps you with some money, he does so out of pity- which is not something you want a man dating you to feel for you. He should feel respect for you; so please respect yourselves. If a man starts giving you money immediately after meeting you, please don’t go running to your gossipy friends 6 months later to tell them how wicked men are. He’s just recouped his investment dividends for 6 months! And if you must tell them; please start such stories with how greedy you were.

3. Gbabes:

Granted that most of us want girls who have Indian blood running in their veins; but we’re not stupid enough to know that we can’t all have that. Gbabes are girls whose hairs remind me of the psychiatric hospital opposite my church!

I know you can’t all afford to wear the expensive lace wigs and Brazilian hair that Omotola or Patience Jonathan wears- but why not thank God for the Aba boys? They have made some extension braids and ‘Brazilian hair’ affordable for peanuts…

4. Unkempt Private Areas:

*Hums* “Sometimes I shave my legs sometimes I don’t’. That’s cool and all but I’m going to need you to shave under your arms and the other place (you know where.) I am not scared of using the P word but this is a family friendly website- and I’m sure you get the gist. We may be bush men here in Nigeria, but please give yourself an edge up by keeping it like a well-manicured lawn rather than like a jungle safari in the middle of Niger Delta!

5. Loud Mouths:

Some girls know all the lyrics of all the tracks in Terry G’s or Wizkid’s Album. I once danced with a girl who took me through Timaya’s discography while wearing a smile. She even knew what the upcoming tracks were! Now, don’t get me wrong. It’s all good.

But what’s not good is that the Naija guy, you’re dancing with or rapping at, has already formed an opinion of you! You’re a loudmouth in his head. And you seriously can’t fault him for this assumption.

What the average Nigerian who wants to have something serious with you- thinks about is; “what will my people say about this girl?”

Truth is; if I can’t bring you home to momma we can’t roll. I can’t stand a woman whose every word is a curse; mothereffer this, son of a —– that et cetera. Kindly have at least; an ounce of class and act like a lady not an Obalende conductor!

Peace out and love to Nigerian ladies, I think you’re all beautiful. These observations are not meant to offend any of you; but a little dose of ‘keeping it real’ is always healthy.

Wild wild waste

These people from west seems to have perfected the act of kidnapping and rituals


But they call themselves sophisticated and ekiti with the so called rumoured proffesors


Nawa

I am impressed with the SUG dude..

Nigerian women are getting fatter and scientists and health experts are taking notice.

According to a new study published by the open access journal PLOS One, obesity is rising rapidly in Nigeria.

The study finds that western influences on diet and lifestyle are playing a part in what looks set to be a serious epidemic that is going to create all the health issues that countries in the Western world are already struggling with.

And sadly, the health system and health infrastructure in Nigeria will not be able to cope with this influx of obesity-related health problems.

The study from researchers at Warwick Medical School found that more than one in five women in Nigeria is overweight or obese. However, among Nigerian men the rates are much lower.

The sad truth, is that in Nigeria, weight goes with wealth. Infact, Nigeria’s richest women are three and a half times more likely to be overweight or obese than those in the lowest income bracket.

Also education and social status also increase women’s chances of putting on more weight than is good for their health. This is because richer and more successful women are expected to be fatter.

One of the study’s researchers Dr Ngianga-Bakwin Kandala from the University of Warwick says;

Obesity is now not just a western problem, but an African one as well. By becoming wealthier, better educated and urbanised regions of Nigeria are gaining the attributes we would more commonly associate with western societies. This has brought both a change in lifestyle and diet that is reflected in finding that educated, wealthy women are much more likely to be obese than those living in more rural, traditional areas.
His colleague, Professor Saverio Stranges also adds that;

Urbanisation, and the shift towards what we would consider to be more western habits, appears to come hand in hand with a more sedentary lifestyle and change in diet. More people have cars and drive where they might have walked in the past. The rise in internet usage within the cities sees more people sat down for prolonged periods, both at home and at work.
This physical inactivity is worsened by a less balanced diet. An over reliance on energy dense processed foods can be highlighted by the growing presence of fast food outlets and the knock on effect is reducing the intake of staple, low calorie foods.
While some are overfed in Nigeria, there are still those who do not have enough to eat. For example, there is a big contrast between urban areas like Lagos and rural areas where people labour to feed their families from their own farms.

Prof Stranges explains this phenomenon:

The worry is that Nigeria, like many Sub-Saharan African countries, is facing a major public health challenge with a rising number of overweight adults, whilst large segments of the population face problems associated with under nutrition. This dual burden will mean combating both malnutrition and the risks associated with obesity, such as cardiovascular disease.

The booty. One of the most complex and varied aspects of our bodies and cultures. We obsess about it, we stare at it, we touch it, we squeeze it, we shake it, we sing about it, we rap about it, we idolize it. Ever since Sir Mix-a-lot declared to the world that he liked big butts and could not lie, life for big booty women has not been the same.


Now some may read this and be like, “whatchu mean?!” and I’m sure those that are saying that probably have some of the flattest butts in the world, so this is not for you. Now as a woman with a pretty round butt of my own, I know and love the joys of having one but as I get older and become more…”pronounced,” my blessing has slowly become a curse. To get you guys to understand where I’m coming from, I decided to make a list of some of the pros and cons of having a big booty, just so you can see both sides…

Pros:

1. THE CURVES!
I remember a time in America where it was grotesque to have curves or to not be as slender as a stripper pole. Women with even an ounce of fat on them were consider fat or overweight, but with such a growing rate of overweight people in America, a sense of sex appeal has been added to have some curves or baby fat, as some call it. Along with that new sex appeal America has for curvy women, more women with curves are on the cover of magazines, runway shows, and breaking into the music industry, despite opposition.
2. More cushion. No seriously!
Having some extra padding back there isn’t just good for the pushin’! Its also a safety precaution for falls, slips, or if you get shot in the butt it will get lodged in the lard and miss any vital organs.
3. You can use the term bootylicious and not look stupid.
When Destiny’s child coined the term in the early 2000s, every woman in the world, especially the ones with NO butt, were using that word and thought it was okay. Well, its not! For women who are actually bootylicious, they can use the word to describe themself and get an, “AMEN” instead of an awkward side eye.
4. You are going to stand out in a crowd, or with a group of friends.
Whenever you are out with friends, people are gonna spot you (well your butt first), and they’ll say “that’s the girl with the big booty!” You are gonna have a discint characteristic and people will remember your name and you for it.
5. Things tend to bounce off it.
I can’t tell you the amount of times my butt has saved me from being hit with balls, or having anything thrown at me. I remember in high school, walking down the hallway, someone threw a football and I bent over to pick something up. The ball literally bounced off my butt and saved me. Amazing things a big butt can do, I tell ya.
6. It makes up for those who have small boobs.
Well in this case I can’t relate as much because I was blessed with both :-P. But for those women out there that aren’t, having a big butt really does make up for it. A male friend of mine said it best, “I got to have something to hold onto! Either the bottom or the top, something has to be there or I’m out!” It also doesn’t make women look as frail as they would without it. *kanye shrug*
7. You fill out your clothes more.
I don’t know a woman out there that likes being swallowed by her clothe when she is wearing them. All I’m gonna say on this is, the world can appreciate a pair of yoga pants or jeans more with a big booty woman, more than they can with anyone else.
8. People enjoy twerking more when you do it!
I’m sure we all were equally grossed out by Miley Cyrus’ twerking. But I think if Miley was more “blessed” in the butt department, I don’t think there would be too much complaining.
9. It provides more cushion during pregnancy and childbirth.
Alot of women suffer from tailbone pain during preganancy and, in some cases, damage it during childbirth. Apparently, having a big butt can actually help cushion that area and make it less painful. AND, big butts are usually accompanied by child bearing hips which makes pregnancy and childbirth just a little easier.
10. It sheilds against diabetes.
Having a big butt actually shows that your body is able to metabolize sugars better and turn them into fat. Who would have thought??
11. There are just nice to look at!
Now lets be honest, we’ve all caught ourselves staring at one before, whether its your own or someone elses.

And NOW THE CONS:

1. People only see your ass
While it is nice to look at, its not the only thing! I know for myself, when I meet guys the first thing they say is, “you got a big ass!” And don’t get me wrong, its flattering for the first 10 minutes but when every question that comes out of their mouth is regarding my ass or he is constantly referring to it, then it gets old FAST.
2. Your subjected to constantly being spanked on the ass.
That shit just hurts!
3. “Can I touch it?”
I can’t tell you how many men, and women, see me walking down the street or in the club and ask me if they can touch my butt. This is not Showtime at the Apollo, you NOT come up and touch my ass for good luck or for whatever strange reason.
4. Constant stares and murmurs when walking by.
Do you know how irritating it is to walk down the street, minding your own business, and have people stare at you just because you have on a pair of legging or pants that show your figure? My favorite is when you walk past a group of old men and they moan and groan silently, like you can’t hear them. EW! I’ll admit it does make a person feel disgusting, especially with so much unwanted attention on you. Maybe I should just walking around dressed like a nun.
5. Annoying nicknames.
Big booty judy. Phat Up. Donk. Juicy. Jiggle. Like really? The list can go on for so much longer! I’m flattered but, my parents did give me an actual name.
6. You can’t share seats with people.
I can’t tell you how many times my friends have tried to share a seat with me at the movies, or a restaurant and fail miserably. Either they are left with a small corner of the seat, or left on the floor. I’ve cried myself to sleep many nights because of this.
7. Everyone thinks you should be a stripper or a porn star.
I take offense to this at times because I’ve got a college degree, and working on a masters. There is no way in hell that I’m gonna let those degrees catch dust, to swing on a pole or a penis just because I have the body for it. Don’t undermind my intelligence or capabilities.
8. Your limited in the clothes you can wear.
Don’t get me wrong, a booty does fill out your clothes but it can be your downfall as well. I love wearing dresses! Short ones, long ones, formal ones, sun dresses, I love them all! A dress may look harmless when its on the hanger but, I know for myself, when you put it on, it can really make you look like someone in a profession that requires you “be on your knees” alot. Even though I know I do those things, it doesn’t mean that people that see me wont think that! *sigh*
9. It’s an annoying conversation piece.
How many people wanna have, or enjoy having, a conversation with someone, for more that 5 minutes, about why your butt is so big and how it got like that? *crickets*
10. You are always gonna be the chick with the big ass.
I find this con to be particulary depressing. Its like no matter what you do, where you go, or whats going on in your life, you are always gonna be known as the chick with the big butt. I don’t know about you but way more than just a walking ass.
11. Society still considers you to be overweight.
No matter how sexy you may think your curves are, depending on the circumstances, you are still considered to be overweight. For most women, this can really mess with their self-esteem and drive them to crazy dieting and fitness routines, which usually makes their health even more worse then where they started.

So ladies what do you think? Do you embrace your blessing or do you regret it?

disadvantages of big ikebe


1. Clothes

finding the right pair of jeans to fit is a hassle. a) they're either too tight in the butt, and too short at the bottom, or b) they fit perfectly everywhere EXCEPT your butt, revealing a little glimpse of your crack. . which isn't cute. -___-

ALSO, you have to be very careful not to wear the same shorts or dresses as other girls with smaller butts because you have to worry about your ass hanging out, and also being labeled as a LovePeddler. which brings me to my next complaint.


2. Assumptions

having a big butt comes with those annoying judgements just like any other identifying characteristic such as having blonde hair, being short, etc. the first one is, everyone assumes you're either a slut or a freak or a both. girls with big butts must be loving the crew, because hey they have fat asses, right? that's not the case at ALL, let's let that be known. i guess it's because of all the video models and strippers and people of that sort who have more junk in the trunk than most, but that doesn't mean all girls with big butts are whores. because i can say, with no doubt, question, or hesitation, that i am not a LovePeddler, and i have a big. butt.

furthermore, some guys just ASSume that because you have a big butt, and it's out there, that that gives them the right to touch it. that is the farthest thing from the truth. i have a vagina too, but you can't go around handling that. -__- which is a great segue into my number three complaint.


3. Disrespect//Unwanted Attention

it doesn't really matter what you wear. it will still be seen in sweatpants and wearing a tight pair of jeans? that's just asking for hell. you already know what the mumbles are gonna sound like when you finish walking past a big group of guys. you learn how to ignore the stares of those hungry, most of the time OLD AND CREEPY men imagining what all they would like to do to you. you WILL have your butt grabbed by a guy at the club who thinks its okay just because it's big enough for his hand to cup. also, get used to thirsty men rubbing their groins up against it as they walk by (because they HAVE to be that close to pass). it will be the main topic of conversation most of the time. the googly eyes, the filthy touches and glances, the "DAMN LOOK AT THAT ASS!"es will become a part of life. it makes you feel disgusting, and kind of like you've been cursed while everyone else sees it as a blessing. but anyways. . there's more.


4. Miscellaneous

- the arch in your back will HURT, whether you're standing, sitting, OR laying down
- your friends will poke it and call you out on how big it is in front of everyone.
- did i mention the stares?
- the worry of being a "butterhead"
- people know you as "the girl with the big butt" instead of "the girl with the nice style, or sweet personality, or distinct intellect"
- every time you talk to a guy you HAVE to wonder whether he's being genuine or if he just cares about your ass
- planned on wearing those leggings because you're on your period, your stomach is hurting, and you didn't feel like having on no tight ass jeans around your bloated ass stomach? cancel it.

ugh. okay. i'm done. i just needed people, especially the girls who are always complaining about how flat their butt is to get a little inside glimpse of what it's really like. i mean, it's not ALL bad, but it's sure as hell not all that either. it felt good to get all that out though. thanks for reading. comment if you want and follow me @_dmndMartyr if you haven't already :

This thread is dedicated to the girls with big butts.



I'm a big booty chic,and I've had quite a number of embarrassing events as a result of this.

Just yesterday I went to civic centre at ozumba mmbadiwe to meet with a client,parked my car,got out and was heading to the managers office with my client. I saw a couple coming behind me,from the way they dressed I could tell they were yoruba. I hadn't taken more than 15 steps when I started hearing "shameless man,u have no shame,u can't even hide ur dirty behaviour,emi o blame e,awon omo esu yii naa ni pelu Aso rada rada to n wo "



Turned around to see it was the woman whom I noticed earlier,she was addressing her husband. She must have been in her early 40s ,I guess and her husband,mid 50s.

Lol,apparently,her husband had been gawking....at my butt. I was wearing a pair of white leggings and a white top,nothing bad.


After she lashed at her husband(people were already looking), she turned to me and started insulting me,called me indecent, a husband snatcher and how I dressed the way I did to lure men away from their wives. From her utterances,I could tell she was an "omo eko".




I stopped right in my tracks,turned to her and cautioned her,the fact that she was older didn't give her the right to talk to me the way she did. I gave her a piece of my mind and walked away,she looked on without saying anything.


Wasn't my fault her husband couldn't keep his eyes off my butt. My silly client just kept laughing.


I've had other embarrassing situations like this but this was just too much. Big booty chics,share ur tales of embarassments.

But I hear say "Ikebe no dey heavy the owner" how true is that?

That theory had been found to be lies ..make dem run na

As an igbo man we have a sayin

A woman with the fat butt doesn't know the gravity of punishment the gods have given to her unrolled there is a stampede in a market place

That's an igbo adage and I won't interprete it

Lol

deolumike:
seriously? That dude is simply objectifying you and you're playing along. when will ladies, sorry, girls learn that there's so much more to them than sexuality and physical appearance. He's dishonoring you with your active consent.
