in the olden days didnt you have to kill a lion to become a man?

if nobody wants to kill the chicken then how will people get to eat chicken or should we all subsist on fruit and water only.

lol

i dont mind being a vegetarian but i have to indulge in chicken suya once in a while.

she should be more offended because the ad is rather crappy. Looks amateurish.

thought cadbury did quality ads.

^^so, what are you offering that's worth $50,000 when people can get it for free or at most by pretending to be romantic and spending maybe $30 on chocolate.

just asking.

SouthChi:
I'm not saying its right or wrong. I'm not judging. I just want to know the price-tag you pay for a marriage?

i think you mean wedding.

the two arent the same.

are you female and wondering how much to charge?

in that photo, the man doesnt look like someone separated from his wife, unless he went to acting school.

maybe he likes dominatrix and they turn him on.

dayokanu:
Did I ever disagree? I am going by the account given by the man and the woman

The woman claimed the man cheated and the man claimed the woman cheated

I assumed both were telling the truth

A man cheats the wife cheated back so why does she still have to destroy his life and career? What more does she want?

if the man was due for retirement two weeks before the incident, then how exactly did she destroy his life and career?

other questions that need to be asked:


why did he invite her back after he said they were separated/divorced and she had another lover?

why are they married only under native law and custom given that he seems to be an educated man?

she's as bad as he claims, yet they have five kids. Was he hypnotised into having all five of them abi yansh is paramount.

no disrespect intended to anybody o.

yes.

@ harakiri

let go of your boogeyman, ok.

I usually see a little sense in a few of your posts, but in this instance, your generalizations are unwarranted and uncalled for.

If you constantly attract the type of witch you described, then check yourself.

The fact remains the woman has marks on her body while the man has none. And there are also many dead wives of nigerian men. This is nothing to be proud of, so you people need to sit yourselves down and figure out how to remove this curse that makes you unhappy in all your relationships and also makes you slaves to your diicks.

Dayokanu are you now agreeing he cheated?

Yes, all these horror stories cant be matched or even surpassed should the women start to tell their own.

Abeg leave matter.

We are not as easily distracted.

You men should let this thing go and stay out of matters that dont concern you.

Sebi una own na to bang as many women as possible in different settings.

Your priority is your privates so take care of that side and leave the culture preservation and whatever it entails, to the women.

^Thats circatrization. (sp).
Or just simply scarification.

The main thing that causes most women to go ballistic on yall's asses is when you cheat on them.

Its very few females who dont mind being cheated on and such women are likely to be either having their own runs on the side, or planning how to do away with you.

Fact of life.

If a woman says she doesnt mind being cheated on ( even if you're cheating with her on someone else), then better watch your back because the day she goes bananas, you'll see what you never saw before.
Fact of life.

Figures.

Seems like a lot of cavemen are coming out of hiding.

Word of advice: stop being led by your privates.

Given the japan incident, the man shouldnt have invited the woman for the second time when there was so much bad blood between them.

And notwithstanding whatever story is being bandied about, the fact remains she has injuries on her body while the man has none. So any of you who want to beat up or kill your wives, keep that in mind while doing so.

Btw, which kind of separation marriage is that, when they have adjoining bedrooms with an accessible key? And after he allegedly knew of a " yoruba lover"?

Men never cease to amaze me. I thought most of you say you can never forgive a woman who has an affair with another man while dating or married to you?

Anyway, bottom line is stop thinking with your you know whats.

looks great but whats yello care?

mtn?

any particular reason why they didnt do a registry or church marriage?

just wondering- nothing to do with the issue at hand, really.

hope it wasnt your spelling and grammar that annoyed her.

so folks have been searching for years:

just checked his picture too.

handsome guy.

lakal:
There are birds on many of the beaded crowns (Ade Ileke) of Yoruba Obas. The bird is the Okin, the royal bird.

birds generally symbolize witchcraft, among the yoruba.

i'm quite sure the op knows that.

okin is considered the king of birds, which may explain it's presence on the oba's crown.

if you consider yourself equal to or better than one [ie an oba], then of course you could get your own replica crown or tattoo an okin all over your body.

lakal:
It's funny when people say something is or is not part of the culture.  Are you the authority on what is or is not asa yoruba?

I have seen elderly Yoruba women (my great-aunt) with tattoos (a giant snake or something on the back, but I only saw part of it obviously, covered by wrappa).  I never asked what the significance was, but it looked like a old-time religious tattoo, even though she is now a very staunch Christian.

better ask your great aunt why she had a giant snake on her back. Was she a sango worshipper or ogboni member? Do they tattoo snakes on their backs cos i'm not aware of any such thing. Are you from badagry or something?

yorubas do not get tattoos in the western manner- quote me anywhere. That's a western thing gotten from wherever.

the henna used by many west africans and older generations of yoruba women, is temporary and has to be repainted by the owner every so often.

tribal marks are the only permanent markings on the body.

in addition, the henna is mainly dyed on the palms, soles of the feet, and sometimes marked on the skin.

not in the form of snakes cos na all kinds of people dey this nl.

shouting obatala all the time doesnt really mean you know much about yoruba culture cos i've noticed some people seem to think cramming info on orunmila means they have a phd in yoruba knowledge.

Its a question of good dress sense. Anyone could be guilty of the same, not only married women.

Dressing tastefully doesnt necessarily exclude leggings- sometimes people just arent concerned about offending the sensibilities of others.

The link posted by aloy emeka here, from his thread in celebrity section.

In turn quoted from lindaikeji's blog.

I dont think there was any time in the history of nigeria when going abroad wasnt NOT a choice.

Its always been a country of excessive migration and voluntary or involuntary emigration.

I dont know what went on between the friend and her own husband either so dont expect me to comment on that.

When things get ugly and phsical in a marriage, anything goes, which is why its important for outsiders to use some discretion and wisdom if they really have anyone's best interest at heart.

However, i also know escalating things might serve different people's interests for whatever reason.

But i'd prefer not to take panadol for somebody else's headache.

@ the last two posters

i believe all along i've said nothing but they're both at fault, or the matter needs to be investigated more.

As per the yoruba lover, imo the man has probably had myriads of lovers as well during and after the marriage though of course this is all conjecture and neither am i saying that makes it right.

So kindly slow your roll and try not to offload on me.

And my comment about the friend isnt anything you havent heard before, i'm sure.

So the man was due to retire in two weeks anyway?

Hmm, something's off here.

Scary poster.

the problem with broken homes- the kids often feel they have to chose sides.

in addition, the dad is richer than the mum, so he who pays the piper. . . . . .
