Coolu coolu temper.

BlackBaron:
Indeed it may be cultural, but alas our people sort of damn the consequences of which they were once carrying.

My great F was a very wealthy man, had quite a bit andmmuch more. Once he died, others were shut off. My grand was from the first wife and also the first son. Connivance rubbed him of his inheritance. The eventual benefactor's generation still enjoys the proceeds till this day. They can all choose to sit at home and still be comfortable...talking about inheritance since 1930-40!

Inheritance wars in africa are usually deadly, wise people are careful when confronted with such.


Imo, polygamy is simply a very effective means of population and lineage control, its quite common for polygamous families to knock each other off by various ways and means over the years without too many eyebrows being raised.

BlackBaron: Hmmn... Polygamy.

Not my cup of tea.
The cracks if there was never any, suddenly sprouts up on the demise of the father.

Not a legacy I'm prepared to bequeath to my unborn children!

Its cultural, its very difficult to practice in some cultures but easier in others.

Was the op previously married?

Not getting the your kids part, I didn't read all the write ups.

Is ose state not from ondo?

Ramnon2:

The deluded self denying baboon thinks having an American accent is so great that I must pay money to gain it. What a damned foool claiming to be non-Nigerian.

If you do not like the american accent then why are you there?


Move somewhere else nah.

Ambition does not exclude marriage, career and kids.

Nl should stop misleading impressionable people. Emphasis here on misleading.


Your choices are just that -choices.


You can choose not to marry ( millions do this all the time), or you can prefer to be married.

Its up to you ultimately what you decide, however what's important is if you are not going to be comfortable in your choices, then think hard before you make them.

Contumely:
And why did something die in you. Was that answer impolitic or shallow? What would you have had her say?
I think you are unduly smug.

she said married, kids and working, yet something still died in him.

what a thread, nlers sha, their level is just something else.


most of them are what's known as benchwarmers, (internet version), they simply post to buttress a thread's views and keep it going, not because they actually have thinking faculty or anything meaningful to say.


not like majority of the thread starters are any different btw.

Ramnon2:

Can you define ''thick'' accent?

you already defined it yourself in your first post.

Ramnon2:

Stop diverting this thread, pls. Ramnon2 is not English. It is not any language. It is just a coinage I made for Nairaland. And, I have an Igbo pseudonym of course. Thank you.

you should stick to Igbo only as your user name if you want to castigate people for not having the same accent as you.

anything else is hypocritical.

its quite common to take elocution lessons if you want to make it in hollywood, there's nothing strange or unusual about that.

even americans also do the same if needed.


you have to be as versatile as possible, not always stuck in a narrow minded box.

voice coaches are there for a reason.

its like saying its ok to just appear on the big screen anyhow even with bed head just because you dont want to appear "fake".

bro, it doesnt work that way, unfortunately.

even in reality tv there is still airbrushing, editing, etc.

and why do low iq people always feel so big on nl and do not think it necessary to try to improve their cognition?

pomide: Nairalanders hustling for likes after the wipeout be like

they're getting paid in cash or kind for them no doubt.

itstpia: @ topic
how e take concern me?
people spend their money however they see fit, some use it to send their kids to school, some use it to finance boko haram, others use theirs to finance nairaland, others spend theirs at the photographer and associated places. If they are not asking me how to spend their riches, why should i put mouth.

seun this person is wasting your expensive megabytes o.

hasnt a lot of info vanished?

i wished i ate cake, i'm missing a lot sha. But my no sugar diet prevents me.


anyway, seems metallic cakes are in vogue now, is this design in nigeria yet?

also ombre/ruffle.

abbakacici: please any parent that can afford to send his child to private, will. stop complaining, all fingers are not equal because the school you think have normal fee i.e 25-70k, most Nigeria will see that as outrageous

your first picture is actually supposed to be the way an average nigerian school would look like ideally, it doesnt show luxury per se.


something like these might:

@ topic

how is it my business, if people want to spend their money as they see fit?

some use their money for education, others use it to encourage boko haram, some give it to the photographer an similar ventures, some give theirs to nairaland. if they did not ask me how to spend, then its up to them what they want to use i for.

MabraO:


Ehn ehn
So oversea lo sure ju after sec sch
No wonder they can afford to pay thru their nose

most kids in that kind of school shouldnt need to hustle and struggle before getting visa, since their parents are already rich.

probably they just prep for the ivy league, high end schools perhaps.


do rich nigerians still have to struggle for visas like poor or average nigerians? Just curious.

a science board is still needed o.

well, i still wished Gov Fashola a happy birthday.

whoever needs to collect and archive that information, hurry up and do so.

.

didnt it use to be her and genevieve taking pictures?

so, what inference are we supposed to draw from this current photoshoot?

yoruba and ijaw. . . . . . . . .

eh, na una sabi jare.

two days before nl "reopened for business", some people were fighting themselves on the vanguard site, the usual yoruba/igbo imbroglio found on nl.

wouldnt be surprised if vanguard issued seun an ultimatum to reopen his site for his normal "business" which is attacking specific yorubas and encouraging tribal warfare.

migration does.

dont bomb the place o.

but the site called alibaba itself is going public in a move that may rival facebook's own.

why was that not a topic on this forum, or was it discussed somewhere?

well, one just has to find out what data was stolen and in what way the stolen data will be utilized.

given that internet surveillance is not really a new thing, so why the need for this brouhaha this time.

is it connected to boko haram's southern push or the 2015 prediction.

or just a refreshing of certain people's databases.

When/if seun has time, he will/may/might give an explanation as it pleases him.


Meanwhile, as you were.

Seems his server may have mysteriously disappeared again like it did in 2006 when he gave a detailed explanation to his members then and also claimed a "banned user" was behind the attack.

The site was offline for three days then.

Happy Birthday to Gov Fashola
