It goes both ways. We look down on them just as they look down on us. It's like a taboo for an

African to date an African American let alone marry one. Same goes for them. Except the one that

grew up around African American, vice versa.

for where?

na Nigerian them dey marry pass.

dangermous- why do I feel you're Doyin13?

am I wrong?

Afribiz:
Thanks sweeties for the response, i found those sites very educating. I'll try giving him varieties and know the ones he prefers. I don't think i've heard of 'Emfamil lipil with iron', is it good for babies? what about the cost?

Enfamil is very good, but I don't know if its sold in Nigeria.

I recently discussed the different kinds of formula with my UK cousin who was nursing her baby, and she told me its not common over there either.   They have other foods like Similac, SMA, Cerelac, etc.  Likewise Nigeria.

Soya beans are also okay as well as cost effective, like Elizabetta said. However, be on the lookout for symptoms of allergy when using it. Just in case.

What's this with ObJ I don't know about? Is he mixed? He may not be handsome but I still think he's sexy.

this lady- you wan marry OBJ or what?

I can still allow for Iyabo because maybe her mom is fine, since we all know OBJ likes fine women. Iyabo could reflect some of her mom's features when she gets a photographer who knows his job.

I was referring to the breaking news going round at the time, that OBJ is secretly half Igbo.

It was in one of the national dailies. Personally I feel he may be related to Uganda.

If you consider OBJ sexy, what will you say when you meet the Abeokuta guys with "killer" looks. The drop dead gorgeous ones. You no go faint so?

synonyms for female shapes o:



Voluptuous

Curvy

Curvaceous

Rounded

Full figured

Svelte (instead of skinny)

Hour glass figure




ah ah!!!!

its all about presentation!

"protruding belly" is about as insulting as you can get!

if its a Naija lady born and raised abroad, then its unfortunate she married a traditional guy who wont understand her or make any allowance for the fact that she's different. Most times all people do is rain abuses on such people for not knowing their culture.

If its a Naija lady from a different culture than the husband, then maybe find a way to tell her that's not how its done in your place. Though why someone who easily takes offence at these cultural issues would marry a woman who doesnt share his mentality, is beyond me.  

If the guy is the kind of person who carries his extended family on his head and considers them more important than his wife and kids, then marrying outside his village is bound to be a disaster.

Am not saying the wife shouldnt respect the in laws, but its not everything that needs to become a major issue. Especially if the wife isnt intentionally trying to be rude but just doing things and showing respect the way she knows how.

na so so wahala everyday. Different kinds of trouble. Naija wife no dey get rest.

spermdrops, I already guessed who you were from your post in the politics section this morning.

the way you phrased the question sounds like you've already formed an opinion.

If the wife isnt Nigerian, is she expected to act like one?

if na oyibo, for example, how should she greet the father in law?

This is how wahala dey start oh.

I love you is more trite. People say it all the time without meaning it. Naija guys especially can use it as a pickup or yahooze line.

I'm in love with you is way more serious and shows a level of commitment. Someone wouldnt normally say this unless they're feeling some deep emotion. Internet sweet talking doesnt count.

na wa!

thread don waka go front page!

I think you can mix the pap with baby formula.

You're in Nigeria, right?  A lot of people still mix ogi with baby food. And the red one is better for babies, I heard. I mean the pap made with millet, not corn.

If Nutrend is still available, feed the baby that as well.

I remember this other food called Cerelac, which was also very good though a bit on the sweet side.

I know pap is cheaper, and some babies do thrive on it, but just to be on the safe side, you might want to mix it with formula.

This wholesome baby food website in the other post also looks okay.

how did he get those mines?

Seriously though, I'm sure he was given an eviction notice well in advance.

He should have moved out before it came to this.

he could have kept his belongings in storage and stayed with someone, rented a cheap motel room, or moved into a small apartment.

This isnt a matter of pride.

I hope people are giving him good advice sha.

after effect of pounded yam, fufu and eba washed down with gulder and stout.

The people who named it Stout werent lying.

PLEASE stop saying women and belly together as if you're talking about a female rhinocerous!!!!!!!!!!

learn to compliment na!!!!!!!!

Its called curves, not belly. Check any ancient female Greek/roman statue- na them get curve pass!!!!!

I no get time to dig up pictures jo!

@ OP

Why do most men love Females slim and not fat or anyhow

if you'd stopped at the above sentence and not gone further, you'd be legit instead of illegal.

now that I think about it, could he be Ijaw or Ikwerre.

dee02:
They eat too much FUFU, OKPA, AKAMU and AKPU!!

It is a shame and my last trip home was marred by protuding bellies all over the place

Laziness, too much greed and lack of motivation to exercise is to blame to be honest

Gone are them days that guys were serial-eaters, nowadays it is the ladies!

Glory be to God

na lie jare.

the only thing I agree with here is the lack of exercise.  Exercise targetting specific areas of the body that is. Like the tummy and thighs.

am even so sure there's a huge business opportunity for body workouts specific to Naija men. Na them dey eat fufu, eba and pounded yam pass.

because no one opened a thread about beer pouches on Naija men, therefore someone decided to start one about Nigerian girls and protruding bellies.

How dem dey talk am back home- the thief wasnt caught quickly enough, therefore he turned around and called the owner of the goods an armed robber.


and did someone mention Hispanic women. When even their own men refer to them as pear shaped.

haba!

the size of the money pouch, beer pouch, ogogoro pouch, love handle or whatever else you want to call it, on the men is times ten that of the women.

people and their hollywood fantasies sha.  

make una go date those razor thin models who only eat peppermint.

@ saucekid

who's the pot and who's the kettle?

na woman dey wear agbada for Naija?

wetin agbada dey cover? No be pot belly?

another senseless thread!


Pot calling kettle black!!!!!!

actually some ladies do chase married men.

its like they even prefer the married guys to single ones.

while submitting to your husband,keep checking to make sure he doesnt have someone locked up in the basement oh.

sometimes the gragra don't question my authority attitude is a cover up for some crime he could be committing.

all this cooking cooking cooking wahala.

Una never meet the beautiful lady whose food can give you a nasty stomach ache. No one will tell some guys to get cracking in the kitchen and whip up something to eat when the situation becomes critical. Una go just resemble matchstick because of hunger.

Thats if you want something tasty to eat.

The other option is to be the man, suck it up and eat whatever tasteless food the beautiful, influential and well placed love of your life dishes out in the kitchen.

or some people don't know there are Nigerian women out there who any guy would be proud to have as a wife, but who can't cook.

same ol same ol story.

he'll marry the white girl like so many others have done before him.

They'll have maybe one kid and then after he's firmly on his feet with either papers or employment, he'll start picking quarrels with her and vice versa.

They separate, but even before then he'll travel to Nigeria and ask his relatives to find him a young wife.

Both the Naija girl and the white lady are going to get screwed by this guy. The question is which one gets dumped first. But he'll at least have one or two kids with the white girlfriend before the leopard's spots start showing. 

I don't mean to sound cynical but I've heard this story so many times. In fact, I heard a new spin on the same situation barely three weeks ago. Involving a non-Nigerian guy though.

My friend back in Nigeria: her married relative came home from Canada displaying his biracial kid's picture. At the same time he asked my friend to help him find a Nigerian wife from home/their area. Preferably one of her own friends who she could vouch for.

Its the economy that makes people like this, I guess.

[s]he didnt say anything about the lady's physical features.[/s] I know some guys here will have started salivating, thinking the dude don land beauty queen with sexy coca cola bottle shape. Supportive, seductive, and fulfilling all fantasies. Like all these fancy pictures of porn stars some people like posting on Nairaland. Dream on, folks.

I know Kobojunkie isnt calling himself a GOOD NIGERIAN.

hehehe.

vicade:
if british airways action was carried out by say the defunct Nigerian airways , would we boycott it too for our so called brother ?

sosoliso airlines crashed and people died, people still flew with them. so in other words it is okay for us to Poo on each other within nigeria but not okay for people of the western world to Poo. on us?

my point is and has always been that this british airways affair is a consequence of an underlying problem that should be addressed

You are comparing apples and oranges here.

There are millions of Nigerians living in diaspora around the world. Internal affairs is different from External affairs and should not be addressed the same way. That's why there are different ministries for them.

Nigerians living abroad are subject to the laws of the country they live in, and what many of you are advocating here is for Nigerians abroad to be treated like second class citizens just because they're Nigerian and things are handled differently back home. What kind of logic is that?

In that case, should Nigerians resident abroad also have their water switched off, electricity delivered sporadically, and the roads to their homes and workplaces bombed full of potholes just because a lot of places in Nigeria operate that way? Should stores refuse to sell them washing machines and similar products since in Nigeria it's more common to wash clothes manually and hang them out to dry?



Most of them are paying taxes just like everyone else in their countries of residence, and struggling hard to feed their families as well as send money home to help others.

Kobojunkie:
Keep thinking, maybe one day soon, you will get past your santimonous self and actually figure out what others actually say as is injecting of continuing to inject your issues into every statement. Come to think of it, why not learn to ignore?? Or is that too much for you "Holier than thou" Nigerians to do??

Just answer the question if that's possible.

What, to you, would be a legitimate complaint?

Since you're clearly of the opinion that all Nigerians must do is suffer and continue smiling.
