Family › Re: 5 Things Every Extrovert Should Know About Introverts by tpia5: 6:13pm On Jan 02, 2012
wat social conditions create introverts and extrovert. nature or nurture?
genes maybe.

you can have two siblings exposed to the same environment and stimuli- sometimes one will turn out extroverted while the other will be an introvert.

then, looking at babies, you can sometimes get a glimpse of their character traits early on. Babies or maybe toddlers.


in addition, i think most introverts eventually get a bit more extroverted with time, and vice versa. Sometimes its a seesaw, with periods of introversion and extroversion alternating somehow, depending on the situation and context.

i suspect the same.

People do take my introversion for arrogance
quite common.

some introverts are arrogant though, because they tend to have a faster grasp of things that extroverts dont due to too much distraction.

but the assumption should be on a case-by-case basis instead of generalizations.

from kobo, to tpia, to iice, to freecocoa even ileke and my celebrity girl Missy B claiming to be an introvert. Very interesting indeed
a clear way to spot an introvert online is they tend to stand alone [most of the time or initially] unless/until they make a conscious effort to be more interactive.


this is because they're used to doing their own thing unless somehow prompted to socialize more.

the prompting could be either within or from external sources.

an extrovert, on the other hand, will flow with others right from the getgo and might not stand out so much at first.

This is also because they're used to being part of a crowd and place lesser importance on individuality, or sense of self.


an extrovert is also more likely to "blow their own trumpet" so to speak, or list qualities they deem attractive in themselves, eg i have butt, i have the biggest whatever, online. They're less inhibited and faster at chasing the opposite s.ex, or a person of interest. The introverts catch up later.

Am an introvert, am not shy, am bold, I can face any audience however large, I kid many times and can be crazy sometimes too, but not every where and every time. I choose where, when and what I want to do, rarely act on impulse. It's more romantic to watch a romantic movie with my girl at home than go clubbing and I prefer a cool get together with company of friends and associates than loud extroverted parties, yet i supported a loud extroverted party for the burial of one of my beloved grandmothers and danced big time celebrating her good life well spent.
@ bolded


yes, that sounds like you.

Celebrities › Re: Is The Ghanian Movie Industry Ruled By Color? by tpia5: 4:42pm On Jan 02, 2012
I think lighter skin controls the entertainment industry in general.

Its just more obvious in ghana because ghanaians tends to be majorly dark.

Islam › Re: Why Are Yoruba Muslims Peaceful by tpia5: 4:07pm On Jan 02, 2012
Or just go with the system wherever you attend.

Once again, in a non-terroristic manner.

In general, the fact remains that Islam is as much a culture as it is a religion, so its not very realistic to expect different races and ethnicities to be the same even if they're all muslim.

People may disagree with this post but that's how it is.
Islam › Re: Why Are Yoruba Muslims Peaceful by tpia5: 4:02pm On Jan 02, 2012
Which one is whitest muslim and blackest muslim.


Anyway, why the surprise at pakistani muslims having a caste system? huh

In india and its environs, the caste system is the culture and the culture is the caste system. Its their way of life and i believe this is common knowledge and neither is it going to change overnight or just because they came to america.

If you're in a place where you dont feel comfortable then by all means find somewhere that espouses your own values (not terrorist ones of course).
Romance › Re: Spending Is The Reason Ugly Guys Get The Finest Babes, True Or False? by tpia5: 3:45pm On Jan 02, 2012
Could be that @topic.

Could also be the fact that some girls mistakenly feel an ugly guy is less likely to cheat on them.

Seems the woman had a loss of consciousness. Could have been due to a number of factors including pregnancy or heat stroke.

Anyway, its the sign of the end times perhaps and if so, things will not get better.

God is in control.

She can change the kid to a black school if the issues are getting too much.
Islam › Re: Why Are Yoruba Muslims Peaceful by tpia5: 5:14am On Jan 02, 2012
Not all yoruba muslims are peaceful, just like not all northern muslims are jihadists.

I've been opportuned to meet jihadist yoruba muslims who were just as fierce as any northern jihadist.

So, it all depends.
Christianity Etc › Re: What Is A Perfect Marriage Like? by tpia5: 5:06am On Jan 02, 2012
The only perfect msrriage is the one that will be between Christ and his church.

Apart from that, there's no such thing as a perfect marriage. People are imperfect so how can the marriages be perfect.
Christianity Etc › Re: 31st Night, Thank God,No Bombing by tpia5: 5:03am On Jan 02, 2012
Lets pray to God to remove whatever reasons people are using to justify the bombings.

Its not supposed to be a way of life.

Whatever misery and miserableness that's providing fuel for some to let out via bombings, i pray for God to remove such in Jesus name.

Romance › Re: It Is Impossible To Love Only One Woman by tpia5: 12:37am On Jan 02, 2012
AIDs is very real o.

Its also possible to love zero women- nothing wrong with that since what some are calling love is only infatuation and love is seriously overrated anyway.

The only real love is what was described in 1 Cor 13.
Romance › Re: This Is Why Have Loved To Be With A White Chick! by tpia5: 12:30am On Jan 02, 2012
Or maybe dark brown on light brown.

Ebam

more black on brown than black on white.

Just splitting hairs here cos this section is somehow dry.

Sometimes they're really comedic.

^No need to catch feelings.

Please date interracially in order to weed out the ugly gene.
Culture › Re: Delta Igbo, Bendel Igbo: What Does That Even Mean. by tpia5: 7:29am On Jan 01, 2012
I'm not sure where this bini is yoruba claim is coming from.

First time i ever heard of it was here on nairaland.

My dad expressly explained the difference between yoruba and benin to me as a young child - he pointed out the similarity in names but they are still different people. In addition, none of my bini friends from benin (not the southwest) has ever claimed they were yoruba.

So, its on nl that i hear bini is allegedly yoruba. As i pointed out to someone before, the benin monarchy are the ones with definite yoruba links.

True, some yorubas were absorbed into benin but so were other tribes. And most of the yoruboid edos today hve been fully assimilated into edo.
