@davidylan
and u think PR men are more romantic?    Keep deceiving yourself.
are you sure they're not?

They've produced some of the greatest love songs ever.


tell me which woman wouldnt be moved by "I need You" ( marc Anthony).  And similar songs. I dont have time to check out others right now.

Not saying they're angels but your comment seems a bit "off",imo.

may God deliver Africa from suffering.

So its a choice of either an European language or an Arabic one, in order to function on a global level. Soon Chinese ( Asian) will join the fray.

oh well, I'm just thinking out loud. I've got no problem with the languages[b] I[/b] speak. What's done is done. We ought to have made hay while the sun was shining, I guess.

apt description here: When he's good, he's very very good, and when he's bad, he's horrid.

Doesnt apply only to Naija guys, but for some reason when they're being horrid they get lots of publicity.

Intercultural marriages require extra work, imo.

Okay, i brought this same topic out just when it happened and nobody i mean NOBODY said a word about this, is it me or am i doing anything wrong? my ISP is not logged on as well, on the newmember section no one is even saying hellohuh??

Am really beginning to get frustrated with this site!
maybe people didnt see your post- you put the news in the New Member section instead of the Politics thread.

I'm thinking probably the new member site doesnt get that much traffic- I only checked out that area today because I saw your comment.

ndo. sorry.

PoliticsRe: Yoruba As Official Language Of Lagos House Of Assembly! by tpia: 7:47pm On Dec 06, 2007
[quote author=Babs_O link=topic=98989.msg1754125#msg1754125 date=1196964671]No state is as welcoming as Lagos.

Lagos is home to a lot of manufacturing and continues to be a preferred location for new businesses because it welcomes all. It even welcomed returned slaves in the past without discrimination and they are fully integrated into the society !

It is even poised for greater things, the LEKKI Free Zone is coming up, very soon it will also be an Oil Producing State from Offshore Oil fields.

And all who chose to be associated with Lagos are welcome to join hands in making it a true center of EXCELLENCE.

Other states will soon start getting less hostile from the good example of peace loving Lagosians.

Sooner or later all Nigerian states will stop discriminating between indigenes and non-idengenes and rather be interested in establishing welcoming cities where the rule of law with fairness to everyone reigns.

To all saying negative things, Rome was not built in a day. The Government is looking into making the city a MEGA CITY and in future will not have room for the filty people who litter and pollute the whole state. Incinerators and Land fills will be used to manage the waste.

If speaking Yoruba in the House will make Lagos get to this next level and become a West African pride so be it! (This will definitely make some people jealous and this can be used positively by getting other states to start competing in attracting businesses and make better use of the big banks / abundant human and material resources)[/quote]everything but your last paragraph makes sense. I don't know why you had to include that - it doesnt rhyme with the rest of your post. undecided
PoliticsRe: An American Deported To Nigeria by tpia: 10:20pm On Nov 20, 2007
@naijaking1
Why is it so difficult for some people to take this story as written, and why is it even more difficult to believe that this incident was not reported by any major US news outlet.

I agree that there should be more investigative journalism, but the truth is that any thing is possible in America.
I agree.

FashionRe: How Much Can You Spend On Accessories And Clothes? by tpia: 3:16am On Aug 29, 2007
I normally try to stay within a reasonable range, but recently decided to treat myself to a photoshoot, of all things. I still cant believe the bill. The girl was trying to talk me into some kind of $2000 package and I had to stay there and haggle and beat down that price like a market woman, till I finally found something in my price range (still rather high, I thought).


The photos were good though, and I really enjoyed myself, but I dont normally blow that kind of money on professional pictures.

Models dont have it easy at all, I think- professional pictures are quite expensive

I'm thinking of treating myself again maybe on a special occasion. I might start saving up for it.  It was fun.

Answer:

Dance is a form of arousing or carousing for sex. The deep dancers know this.
there are different kinds of dance.

Dancing can be for fun, pleasure or exercise as well.

tpia please don't tell me you are serious
yes i am.

how can monkeys mock in this manner?

it just seems somehow. unless the monkeys have been trained to do that, i think.

anyway, i dont know .
PoliticsRe: Evil Monkeys Versus Kenyan Women by tpia: 1:42am On Aug 28, 2007
I dont understand how monkeys are capable of doing the things these ones are accused of doing.

in any case, they should mix some palm wine with honey or something the monkeys will definitely eat/drink, and leave it out for them.  Get the monkeys drunk and then transport them elsewhere.


i heard of this untested(?) solution to a monkey problem years ago. someone wrote it as fiction.
