I don't belive it's a must... my cousins didn't do their's in our village so why should I? my village is a fetish place according to my Mum so going to do your trad wedding there is at your own risk.

Two of my cousins recently did their weddings and they both did both the trad and white on the same day in Lagos and the village people came so it's not a must in my opinion. I'm Igbo by the way

Chizzy20:
My dad informed me of my cousin's wedding dat would b taking place at d village dis festive period, i den used d opportunity to ask him if its a must to do ones traditional wedding at d village, he was lyk yes its a must especially for we d female kids cos its customary so it won't seem as if we re OSU cos am from d eastern part of Nigeria nd to also show d family we re getting married to dat we ve roots and cum from sumwhere..I immediately closed d subject cos I didn't want to argue wit him, bt left wit me would prefer doing mine where I base..just want to know ur take on dis.

most light skin girlx has stretch marks to battle with....

An2elect2:
Your preference for light skinned women and fit women is not unwise but they way you spill out your disgust for very dark skinned women is so foolish of you. How would a woman feel if she is told she looks unkept cos she is very dark skinned. You are no gentleman at all. You have black shoes, clothes,etc Is it safe to conclude you consider them unkept because they are black?

BTW, you said something about liking chocolate women. They are dark too. Don't you think you are confused?

I agree that the present global headache are two sides of the same coin. Mutual inclusivity. One cannot exist without the other. So, put aside both of them!
The world order in the 60s was a White Supremacist struggle between Capitalism and Communism. Islamic fundamentalism was funded with dollars to checkmate Communism and ended up creating another monster called terrorism.

I blame Pharaoh Akhenaten (the original Moses) for violently monotheistically raising one God (Aten) above all others and creating a theological shockwave that is raging the world up till today.

First of all, LASTMA is all about traffic management..


They have no business whatsoever checking ur particulars and what not..only when u break traffic rules..


I think they took advantage of ur ignorance ( no offence. Meant pls)

As for the sticker, I own a car here in lagos and I ve never heard of it.. Or maybe I ve just been lucky..


My advice, its christmas, go and get ur car and forget about suing anybody.. Its only going to lead to more complications and accusations from them

Anticabal:
Hello people, I was stopped by Lastma around oshodi yesterday morning, they asked for all my car documents, i tendered them. They then asked for Lagos drivers sticker, i was like WTF?. The other one jumped into the drivers seat and my car was towed to their nearby office. I simply left the car with them, and took a commercial bus to attend to more important issues at the Island. Has anyone ever experienced this? Can i sue?. I am not even listening to them anymore, i want to consider all options before knowing what steps to take. I hate being treated like a criminal and intimidated.

Please drop your much cherished advice. Lawyers in the house, please share your thoughts.

Mods please help push this forward.

The year 2014 is gradually making an exit. Intentionally or unintentionally most adults will analyze the outgoing year, counting losses and gains. Hopefully, you’ll have more gains than losses. In counting losses, it could consist of failures and/or missed opportunities. In my opinion missed opportunities a.k.a undeveloped ideas/plans hurt the most.

Opportunities start out as ideas and then proceed to plans. The way the world is wired, you have to go through people to get to where you need to be. However, there are certain people in this chain I call ‘dream-killers’. These people use words and/or actions to discourage or keep you from moving forward. These people could be your friends, family members, colleagues, or anyone whose opinion you value. It is very sad to note that there are people who would have started a new business, gotten a new job, gone back to school, moved up in their place of work, etc. in 2014, and that didn’t happen because of what someone said or did to them. As hard as it is to completely eliminate dream-killers from our lives, we can find ways to deal with them, so that 2015 doesn’t look like 2014.

These are some categories of dream-killers I created:

The Pessimists
These are the people who see the bad side of everything, ALONE. Woe betide you, if you tell them about your plans or ideas. They will carefully analyze, and deconstruct your plans, showing you every possible way you will fail. When you’re done talking to them, you’ll feel like the ground should open and swallow you up. This group of people always sees the glass half empty. They never entertain the possibility that the benefits might actually outweigh the chances of failure. If you have this kind of person in your life, make adequate plans to keep them very far away when you have your ideas or plans to move forward.

The Gate Keepers
Sadly, these people are the embodiment of everything negative as regards gate-keeping. I like to see them as the people at the gate of progress specifically to stop people from entering. These people are successful in something and are recognized and/or respected for that. Consequently, their opinions and feedback are valued. They are who you think about first, when you want to share your ideas. However, they use their position just for evil. They have a sensor in their brains that detects people who have the potential to do better than them and they make it a calling upon their lives to stop your ideas from proceeding. At first you might not easily recognize them because they don’t mind you taking baby steps and doing little things, but when you want to make that bold move that will threaten them financially or otherwise, they work to kill that dream for you.

The Non-risk takers
These people care about you so much that they can’t bear to see you take a risk and move forward; mostly because they don’t take risks in their personal lives either. Progress has a price; unfortunately it involves failure, disappointment, and rejection at several points; there is no one person who is successful that hasn’t experienced several of these. The non-risk-taker is able to detect when there is a risk involved (which is always the case), and then they ‘lovingly’ discourage you because they don’t want you to get ‘hurt’. These people are good for a lot of things but not when you have a plan to move forward, they will kill the dream for you with ‘love’ and ‘care’.

The Non-believers
These people don’t believe in your ability to be anything and never wish any form of advancement for you. They almost equate you to a teddy-bear or puppy. When you suggest anything to them, they respond with a look that sizes you up, sarcastic comments, or just laugh you to scorn. These people belittle you or anything you have achieved. By the time they finish responding, you are too beat down to even think or make any progress. These ones are toxic to you. The non-believers destroy you the most and they are the first group of people you need to get rid of or avoid completely in 2015.

If you have encountered a dream-killer, you would hear things like this ‘nobody has ever succeeded with that’, ‘you’re too old for that’, ‘I’ve been in this field for long, and you won’t succeed’, ‘everybody must not be rich, be contented’, ‘just manage where you are’ etc. Never underestimate the power of words; they have more effect than actions most times. The things dream-killers say to you register in your mind and before you know it, you’ll begin to rationalize and you could do some major harm to yourself in the process. Instead of having to mitigate negative comments and feedback all the time, once you recognize a dream-killer, keep him/her far. Surround yourself with people that will speak positively into your life.

An idea is never really fine-tuned or polished, so definitely some feedbacks may not be palatable, but the goal is the receive constructive feedbacks. While some criticisms maybe constructive that of dream-killers are always destructive. One way to separate constructive from destructive criticisms is to watch out for what people do or say as feedback to your idea/plan. Did they just shut it down and do or say nothing? Did they give you a better suggestion? Did they connect you with someone who can help you? Did they encourage you and wish you well? Make sure the people you meet along the way don’t succeed in keeping you down.

Dream-killers may not intentionally hate you. They might be great in other areas or activities in your life, but not an ear for your ideas and plans. Moving forward, progress starts with you. Yes, people’s support and approval boosts your morale, but if you don’t believe in yourself, anything and anybody can be a road-block.

I believe hard work and prayer is the recipe for any kind of great achievement. If you have identified yourself in any of these dream-killer categories, strive for a change in the coming year.
