Celebrities / Re: Lebron James New $50million Miami Mansion by Travelista(f): 1:49pm On Jul 19, 2010 |
I can't wait for the drama to start. Between Wade and LeBron, things will get on and popping with the shenanigans; talk about egos! I do feel sorry for Savannah though. She's walked right into the lion's den with this one. |

Achiles: Wait a second. . .what? You're a tool. You have a love-vendor for a friend that brings a slut to your apartment and yet, I'm the one that needs a pep talk? Where do people like you really come from? Reread my comment, you douche. I'm not going to congratulate you for doing what a good man is supposed to; if you need that kind of affirmation, then you're aren't worth a damn. |
Sports / Re: Diego Maradona Offered Four-year Extension As Argentina Coach by Travelista(f): 2:08am On Jul 19, 2010 |
Argentinians have a pride I've never encountered elsewhere; where people with their heads on straight would be weary of having an egotistical crackhead as a coach, Argentina takes pride his infamy. I'm sure boxy suits, mullets, two watches and a rosary will help Maradona succeed with a team full of incomparable talent next time. . .even though he choked this past WC. |

ElRazur: There's nothing empowering about a miniskirt; don't even get me started on that feminism nonsense. Little has done more harm to women than the post-feminism movement but, as I said, don't get me started. Just because something isn't 'normal' in the West doesn't make it wrong. I see women wearing gele and ero and buba all the time; it's not native to these shores but we aren't advocating that they stop wearing them. I mentioned nuns wearing habits; should they be banned from wearing their veils? You have to remember that in years past, women were expected to show their virtuosity by covering themselves from head to toe; there's nothing foreign about what Muslims and others like them put on. That only changed dramatically in the 60s/70s and has gone downhill from there. If they succeed in banning burqas/hijabs, are they going to move on to Hindus that are in purdah or have to wear veils with their saris or salwaar kameez? When does it all stop? Or, is this really about stopping Islam? |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Mosque Planned Near 9-11 Site by Travelista(f): 11:22pm On Jul 18, 2010 |
davidylan: David, leave your religious intolerance at the door and use the logic I KNOW you have in abundance. The article says that the Muslims have been meeting for prayer in that building for YEARS; they just want to make the building a permanent mosque site. There is no building that will be erected and the owner of said building is also in support of the Muslims and their quest. Don't you realize that Muslims also make their living on Wall Street (pause for a second and look up the distance between Park Pl. and the WTC. . .they are nowhere near each other when you consider the one way traffic that exists; if there is another Park Place that is closer to Wall St., then the argument about proximity makes even less sense). Your remark about building a mosque near the White House doesn't hold water; NOTHING can be built on Pennsylvania Ave. because of security reasons. You can't even drive down the street anymore, so try again with another example. If they want to ascertain where a religious group can and cannot build a house of worship, then they need to make it a law but they should also get ready for a battalion of lawsuits. If you enforce the law solely against one group of people, you breed contempt and create levels of citizenship. You hate Muslims (I know it's a strong word but I can't think of any other way to describe your. . .hostility towards them) but they have rights as well. In this country, we have given everyone rights to the point that the citizens are placed in a quagmire. Whether it's the issue of gay marriage, religious intolerance or even the question of what to do with illegal immigrants that refuse to learn the language and insist that you print EVERY government document in their native tongue, they all have rights and those rights must be protected. I mentioned Christians persecuting Jews for a reason; I also mentioned Black Americans confiscating White property but you ignored that example. Go figure, right? |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Proposal To Ban The Burka In The Uk by Travelista(f): 10:57pm On Jul 18, 2010 |
Let me see if I understand this: people consider women wearing the burqa dehumanizing towards women but are alright with young girls wearing skirts so short, you can easily see if the curtains match the drapes? I can't believe people are looking to criminalize modesty; where exactly is the world headed? If Muslim women have to lose the burqa/hijab, strip nuns of their habits. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander, right? |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Mosque Planned Near 9-11 Site by Travelista(f): 10:48pm On Jul 18, 2010 |
precap2: No, NOTHING overrides the law. There are hundreds of thousands of sick perverts that molest children over and over and over again, and these monsters have RIGHTS under the Bill of Rights; a parent that seeks revenge against one of these miscreants is the one that would be thrown in jail before the police even began to investigate the charges against the molester. There are people that have killed and the police and prosecutors KNOW they committed these crimes but because of reasonable doubt, these criminals roam the streets as free men and women. If the 'general good' was considered more than the process of law, there would be pedos and murderers that would have been long dead or, at the very least, plucked off the streets and locked away. If the government decides to condemn the actions of non-American Muslims for the 9/11 attacks, they head down a slippery slope. If you can blame an entire ethnic/religious group for the actions of a few, what does that do for others? Wouldn't Christians be able to persecute Jews because they killed Jesus? How about Black Americans seizing the property of Whites that are the descendants of slave owners as a way of gaining reparations for slave labor? If anyone actually believes such rantings and ravings from the political far right will gain traction in a court of law (let alone liberal NYC), then they are far more short-sighted than previously believed. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Mosque Planned Near 9-11 Site by Travelista(f): 7:46pm On Jul 18, 2010 |
naijaway: Are you sane? How on earth are you and others able to compare a country like Saudi Arabia that has a state religion with the US, where it's illegal for the government to side or endorse ANY religion? Banning the Muslims from having a mosque in Manhattan (the building is even owned by a Muslim, go figure) is at the very least unconstitutional; if the government wants to push it, the Muslims will sue and most likely win. 'Burn their petition' indeed. |
Family / Re: Dna Test by Travelista(f): 4:58pm On Jul 17, 2010 |
OP, I'd very very careful and try to get the DNA test done with the mother being aware. If you take the child to Nigeria and get the test done behind her back, you find the child isn't yours and Mama's not in Nigeria with your guys, she can retaliate by accusing you of kidnapping. BE CAREFUL and BE WISE. I don't know about Europe but here, you need the mother's permission to swab the babe's mouth; go behind her back and Hell can break loose. As you've already been advised: be very sure of what you will do if the results come back. If you are the child's father, you will always know that you doubted your own flesh and blood. If aren't. . .you're reaction could be dangerous. Did you sign the birth certificate because there have been cases of men signing the papers, finding they aren't the dads and then STILL having to pay child support because they have taken legal responsibility for the child from birth. Out of curiosity, is the mother of your child also Nigerian? |

I see what you did!!!! Thanks for the picture; now, I regret looking but curiosity kills. Maybe he's a grower but where are his kpomos? |
Romance / Re: I Want To Marry Him by Travelista(f): 6:45pm On Jul 16, 2010 |
The OP didn't mention the guy being hard-working; I'm sorry but he lacks a job and she doesn't say a word about him trying to hustle for one. RED FLAG! I hope the OP isn't settling; 6 years is a long time and she can probably do better. She works for GLO and I'm sure she has been in contact with good men with actual jobs. I can't even imagine such foolishness: I'm the breadwinner AND I have to propose? She might as well exchange genitals with her boyfriend and call it a day. |

Foreign Affairs / Re: Utah List Claims To Name 1,300 Illegals (I'm not trying To be alarmist though) by Travelista(f): 4:46pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
Oh, well. If the federal government wants to ignore the issue, untrained (cowardly) people will try to right the situation themselves. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Mosque Planned Near 9-11 Site by Travelista(f): 4:36pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
So, what? Muslims have been meeting there at least once a week for prayer and the building owners (the building already stands, so this isn't an issue of erecting an actual edifice) allow it. This is a case of bigotry, plain and simple. Besides, how close is Park Place from Ground Zero in the first place? They're arguing that the building should have landmark designation because it was hit by debris. . .to be honest, they're pushing things here. |
Romance / Re: f by Travelista(f): 2:57pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
No offense, OP but aren't you the same one that falsely accused a female poster of being a scammer? You need more people or better yet, go back to your wife and stop blaming Naija girls for you getting caught out there. |

Family / Re: What Would You Do To Such A Wife? by Travelista(f): 5:31pm On Jul 13, 2010 |
kind.way: Honestly, I'm impressed that people have been so kind to you in this thread. You, my dear, are a loser and a miscreant. You sent your wife, the mother of your child, out into the street because you wanted to get some play from a 'client'. Don't lie: you were/are either boning her, trying to bone her or have since started boning her but your relationship is not platonic in the least; save the jive for someone that's foolish enough to believe that Teddy Bear nonsense. You're allegedly abroad and work in finance? Where 'abroad' do bankers give their personal numbers to clients? Banking overseas doesn't occur outside the bank, hun; it's not like Nigeria when accounts are gained between the sheets. You're 'abroad' and forcefully shoved your wife out of the house? You're lucky she isn't out for blood; she could have had you charged. You've already shown yourself to be a liar by telling fibs about irrelevant things; what else won't you lie about? Just looking at your posts makes me sick because all I see is someone making excuses for their behavior and not making amends. Your wife loves you (for whatever reason) and wanted you to show your devotion to her and your marriage and you failed like the base creature that you are. You actually laughed when some college rat opened her mouth and said she'd take you away from your wife; again, you expect people to believe you aren't digging in that field? You've been given advice by Chaircover, JennyKadry, Big-Man (LISTEN to this man; he's where you should be as a male if you weren't so lackluster) and others but you're still missing the point. Kind words don't work on people like you, so life will have to teach you a lesson. I hope you pull yourself up by the bootstraps before that occurs. I know men like you: 'Oh, I was making money before her', 'She's aggressive', 'Blah, blah, blah'; you make the biggest mistake the minute you underestimate the contribution of your spouse. If you think she has to put up with your passive-aggressive nature or get out of 'your' house, you'd be surprised at the moves she can make. I've seen it happen where a man thinks the sun rises and sets on his bottom and his wife gets tired and moves on to bigger, greener, sweeter pastures. You have been warned as many men would see the love your wife is willing to give and see it as an attribute and work overtime to snatch her up. You're not so golden that your wife has to put up with your shenanigans; it starts with jokingly putting up a picture and moves to her getting a man in the flesh. The issue of the picture shows that your wife has a sense of humor; a man that was adept at picking up signs would have made a joke and wormed his way back into the woman's good graces. But, you failed. Surprise. You can't even see that YOUR actions are destroying your home. I pity you because you don't understand how inflexible and insensitive you're being towards your wife (and ultimately, your child). Apologize to your wife and avoid this woman; she's made it her goal to destroy what she doesn't have and you're playing in to her hands. |

Romance / Re: Nigerian Girls Faking In Parties by Travelista(f): 3:51am On Jul 13, 2010 |
chiogo: Wait, the OP's in the DMV area? Oh, lawd. He must look like a right DOG if he can't get some play from at least on Nigerian girl. Honestly, it's tragic but if a Liberian or Saro girl is willing to give it up, go for them. Sure, the ones that agree to lay with you have low standards (sorry but judging by your posts, you're a loser) but at least you won't suffer from blue balls. |
Romance / Re: Did I Act Well? by Travelista(f): 3:40am On Jul 13, 2010 |
whiteroses: WhiteRoses. . .you beat me to it. Either he got a taste and has a guilty conscience or he wants us to congratulate him for doing what he was supposed to do in the first place. Bottom line assessment: this isn't kindergarten and no one's handing out gold stars for creativity or doing basic tasks. You have a girl and you want us to pat you on the back for not sleeping with a hooker? Is that what's hot in the streets now? You did what a real man does (if your story is true) and put that hussy in her place. I mean, what kind of girl sleeps in a stranger's bed and then starts begging for some loving? I hope you really didn't sleep with her; if you did, I pray you wore a condom because she could be teeming with disease. Your 'friend' is also someone I'd watch very closely as well. |
Family / Re: What If Your Partner Insists On Fertility Test Before Wedding? by Travelista(f): 3:27am On Jul 13, 2010 |
I'm more irritated by the story than interested in answering the question. Is Nigeria so backwards that the doctor would talk to the MAN about a WOMAN'S reproductive health and not bother to repeat the same information to her? And, what kind of man seeks revenge for the cousin by toasting the girl that turned down his fam? People are always being clever by half and forget that the world is ever revolving. The hole he dug for Femi is the same he'll stumble in later on down the road. Where do they find such barbaric people? God, have mercy on Nigeria and her children. |
Romance / Re: So Surprised by Travelista(f): 11:51pm On Jul 12, 2010 |
Is she a sugar mama? Voice your concerns, dear. If he's hooking up with someone else's madam, you could be at risk because you don't know what diseases they're passing back and forth. You've just started dating: if he's not forthcoming or if he's waffling (and your instinct tells you something is wrong, LISTEN to that little voice!), run. You'll find someone else that wouldn't be tempted to wander where another man has staked a lifetime claim. |
Romance / Re: Our Future Wives? by Travelista(f): 11:47pm On Jul 12, 2010 |
olas2u: Is that so? I went to school with groupies that do the same things Naija runs girls do; education isn't something that you're denied in this country, so I'm not understanding where you're going (let alone coming from) with your comment. There's nothing 'unrealistic' about realizing that you can get money from a man for performing certain acts; prostitution is one of the world's oldest professions and it's staying power proves that it literally pays to spread'em (sorry for being crude but let's be real here). Some people (men are becoming bigger tramps for pay than women these days) see wealth and lose all sense but this happens everywhere in the world. I could tell you stories for days about girls that earn $10K a weekend for their services and some of these girls come from well to do families. Greed plus opportunity are the breeding grounds for such behavior; if you're attractive and smart, you can make moves (both positive and negative). When you're barely aesthetically pleasing, you have to work harder to prove your worth. It's a terrible conundrum but that's life. |
Romance / Re: Beat Over A New Gurl by Travelista(f): 5:16pm On Jul 12, 2010 |
You're asking about staying with a guy that a.) beats you and b.) has another girl in the wings? You need a slap, a stiff drink or to be institutionalized. |
Romance / Re: Please Advise Me by Travelista(f): 5:14pm On Jul 12, 2010 |
OP: You've cast aside one guy because your parents can't afford to throw away their only daughter to an outsider? No offense but if you actually believe that nonsense, you'll be an old maid that your parents will cast off on the first fruit seller that can scrape together enough pennies to wife you. Get it together and really think about what you want. If your Muslim guy is the one for you, then go for it. I'm just baffled at the excuse you gave for putting aside the other guy; I'm even more concerned that you actually believe the excuse you parents gave. Talk about ego/naivete. |
