CultureRe: How To Make Your Childrens African. by tpia: 1:52am On Jul 21, 2007
personally, I'm not big on whether a kid should be raised African or not. What's important to me is that a child be successful wherever they are.

This is just me speaking. everyone else also has a point.
CultureRe: Would You Marry An Osu? by tpia: 1:11am On Jul 21, 2007
If you're Igbo born abroad, na wahala.

If you're not Igbo but have one Igbo parent or grandparent , na wahala.

if you're non igbo married to igbo, na wahala.

if you're non -Igbo but  have Igbo relations, na wahala.

All these people making themselves the yardstick for who is igbo, are themselves fake Igbo.
RomanceRe: Dignity Or Virginity by tpia: 8:17pm On Jul 19, 2007
iKoRn:
If I had to choose, I would rather have dignity than to be a virgin. Girls treasure virginity more than men do. Those who are virgins think they are morally pure vis-a-vis to those who have lost it. From a man point of view, my dignity can get me somewhere; job, friendship, a good relationship et cetera while being a virgin will only get me screwed.
very good point.
RomanceRe: How Can Nigerian Men Be More Romantic? by tpia: 2:21am On Jul 18, 2007
a key element of romance is the surprise factor.

make it a habit to surprise her with your thoughtfulness.
CultureRe: Isn't It A Shame When You Can't Speak Your Mother Tongue?! by tpia: 6:08pm On Jul 16, 2007
I really don't think its the end of the world if someone can't speak their language. As long as you can communicate in some form. And no matter what, there'll probably always be some people speaking the language, even if its only in the village.

However, I understand people's concern.

babyosisi:
infact anywoman can turn her man into what she wants him to be if she has the right skills.
[b]Men love submissive,non arguing women who adore them and see them as the epitome of strength and intelligence.[/b]Most broken marriages will still be together if only the woman learns to play her cards right.

that is the height of desperation.
the worst is moving in with him,you're setting yourself up for a heartbreak.
our men may do all that gra gra but when they are ready to settle,they still prefer traditional girls with unexposed cleavages grin
@ bolded- yep, thats how Anna Nicole Smith snagged that billionaire.

@ameromoge
because they/men will treat that virgin the same once she is no longer one.  Believe me when I say they place no more real value on her than he does a non virgin cause once he has accomplished his goal she is the same as the rest.
true talk.

@tpia,

Please 'fashi' this guy, jare! He will keep going round and round in circles, even when the facts are there for everyone to see. If the truth came & smacked him in the face, he still wouldn't recognise it, for what it is.
I wonder o. Now he's trying to dump all the wahala at my front door.

I can see this thing will never end, left to donzman. Some people and their undying hatred of other tribes sha.
CultureRe: What Is The Significance Of The Yoruba Tribal Marks by tpia: 9:04pm On Jul 10, 2007
see donzman trying to leave his big basket of troubles on tpia's front yard.

Denseman, you can twist my words anyway you like- like I said, give yourself a headache over nothing.

Donzman:
@tpia

Sucks for you, you don't know me. Last I checked, Donzman never said all evil/good rests with anyone because Donzman doesn't really care.

Ok start a thread for that where you say what you feel is happening in the Igboman's backyard. If you're not ethnocentric and closed minded, why does it hurt you to know that Yorubas were fighting against each other?. . .Greeks, Brits, Americans and etcetera tell stories of how groups within fought themselves, why exactly are you taking it personal that Yorubas do the same. If it makes you feel any better, Onitsha people were in constant fight with Obosi people even during colonization. See Donzman doesn't feel bad saying that, it's history, now Donzman wants more of that attitude, don't take everything as a personal slight.

I was the one who pointed out that Igbos mark sick people because they believe it will drive away the spirits or something. You can say whatever you want about Igbos as long as it is true, Donzman will take it for what it is. It is when falsehoods like naming ceremonies in Igboland is being spread that Donzman comes to tell the TRUTH.

You should be happy I'm replying to you, look how I ignore retards.  grin
look, dunceman, I dont have the time or the inclination to stay here and argue with you all day over which is the better tribe. You know what you said, so dont come trying to cover up your motives and feel good comments. I could care less about naming ceremonies anywhere- what you fail to realize is that[b] Africans[/b] have their cultural way of doing things, whether you dont even give a child a name at all talkless of inviting people, or you throw a big party to name a child, the thing is- the child is named. 

And I dont remember making any comment about the naming issue- you're the one who keeps trying to attack other tribes as if they're somehow lesser than you. Big lie. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Anything found in other tribes, whether Yoruba,Isoko or Kalabari, good or bad, has its counterpart in your tribe as well. You dont need to start painting others as if you're better than them. Very hypocritical.If people reply you in the same vein, then you get all hurt and upset and start parroting persecution. You need to know when to caution yourself.

so if you ignore retards, why should I be happy you're replying me? see how you contradict yourself. If you consider me a retard, then dont respond to my posts. Seems I must have touched some nerves of yours. Just give yourself a headache over nothing.
