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:

Hey Tavelista, I did not ask out of gult or whatever, I did what i did out of respect for the mutual love we both profess. I used to be your kind until i found love. I hope one day you will find love and stop sleeping around. I had my turn, u could check my old posts but those were the most miserable moments of my short life so far. The noblest reason a man can live for is love and dying for same is the holiest of all!

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? undecided 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.
Foreign Affairs / Re: Proposal To Ban The Burka In The Uk by Travelista(f): 1:44am On Jul 19, 2010
ElRazur:


You forgot that, wearing mini skirt is normal in this part of the world. Burka on the other hand is not.

Also arguments can be made for Miniskirt, as an expression of feminism and empowerment, I am not sure such defence can be made for Burka.

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:

Ah the standard untenable excuse folks use to excuse islamic intolerance while forcing other nations to be open to muslims. The muslims are not banned from building ANYWHERE . . . New yorkers have a right to be wonder why these muslims have chosen a sensitive site OF ALL PLACES to build their mosque BY FORCE. I'm sure they would have had no problem if these folks decided to place 20 mosques in desolate Albany.

I'm sure you'd also be ok if they built this mosque at the gates of the white house, afterall its unconstitutional for the government to say no.

lol the usual rush to empty moral equivalencies to excuse islamic violence and intolerance. Christians have no reason to persecute jews for killing Jesus . . . Christians are not interested, consider Christ's killing as a fulfillment of prophecy and the cornerstone of the christian faith . . . besides . . . Jesus was a JEW! Why do you expect Pakistanis to persecute Indians for killing an Indian?

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? undecided 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?

precap2:

Sometimes politics and the consideration of general good override laws.
Have you considered general good in this case?

Holla!

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.

naijaway:

I hope this is not true and if true the authorities should reject it outright eg burn their petition near the site. How many churches or hindu or buddha sites are in mecca? They are too many mosques in NY already. These arab idiots never cease to amaze me. I hope america christians and muslims reject this trashy proposal. These arabs are using the black muslims as fronts for their actions. May thunder fire their domination ideas bloody arabs.

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. undecided
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?

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. undecided

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.

Family / Re: What Would You Do To Such A Wife? by Travelista(f): 5:31pm On Jul 13, 2010
kind.way:

@Big_Man,
I worked in a financial institution holding an influential position, To me it's normal to get advances from women. I have always tried to separate my work from my personal life. This fateful evening, a text came from one of our clients " Good night my teddy bear". This particular lady that sent the text was found of calling me Teddy bear because of my stomach, she always use it to staunch me that i should go to the gym.

Immediately I saw the text, I was like na wah oo, My wife just said what is it, i want to read the text. I told her not to read the text that it will hurt her feelings, she insisted and promised that it will not. On reading the text, She started reacting and I expalined to her that I will take care of the situation that its not her(My wife's) battle, I know the kind of girl that sent the text and I will take care of the situation. This is not the first time i will be seeing orr having such

While having my bath, she lied to me that she want to call a friend using my phone, she picked the Lady's number. While I was away to work, she called the Lady and started ranting on her. The lady in question is not normal when it comes to things like that, Omo Unilag, She just teard for my wife on the phone, and even told her that now she has drawn the battle line and she will take her husband away from her.

On getting home, I did not know what has transpired she started the quarrel as usual, I was like what I have i done again. she now told me how she called the lady and how both of them abused each other and ,
I just laughed and told her that "I have warned you that its not your battle, you should have allowed me to take care of the situation but naturally you won't listen to me. See the kind of disgrace you put urself in " My people b4 I land, the ground don scatter, From one bad word to the other suddenly she pull out my picture and replaced it with her guy ,



,
shocked


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.

whiteroses:

the guy na liar, if he resisted the devil he wont feel the need to post it here na guilty concience drove am here, i belive this is the rest of the story.

Hey, Just don't know what to do right now. my GF is out of town and I promised I won't do our thing with another girl.
I havnt been in love for a long time since I broke up with my girl of over two years. But this time, despite our tribal differences,
I love her and I would not want to betray that love. consequently, i have limited my activities to office, gym, light outing and fellowship.
However, on friday, late in the evening, after leaving office, I decided to see an old pal i haven't seen for a while. so I went and it was a nice outing.
He has this neighbour, a replica of the falling angel, fare and bold and she picked at me straight away. It was a mere chat i never gave much attntion. The following morning being saturday, I spent most part of the day with indoors seing a movie. at 12pm, I had a violent bank on my door with my friend's voice shouting my name. Long and short, he did not come alone, he came with CHICHI, the devil as I thought. I left them both and went to my neighnour's and spent some time. before I came back she was already in my bed room resting. At first, i felt wow, o boy see opportunity both on a second thought, i said not this time. my old self nudged me towards her but i seemed to be in control. I gently walked up to her (Nairalanders the truth starts here)and smelt her neck, she smelt like apples, I love apples! i hugged her as i caressed her thighs reaching my fingers upways, she opened my shirt halfway and started rolling my n1pples, that was my soft spot, this time my head was fully charged, i slammed her on my bed and we hurriedly removed our clothes like apes, she sat on me and the warmth she created had my head spinning, i flipped her over and hammered her very well, she nor tired and i nor stop for about an hour, so ladies and gentlemen Did I act well? I am not a bastad I am a true nigerian guy. Thank you cool

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? undecided 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.

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?

olas2u:

The economic conditions of a particular country determines the kind of humans you will get.The economy is bad ,and the women have unrealistic dreams.The type of education the women get is another thing.But because society worships paper qualitfication,it looks like a must.If not girls are meant to get functional education,that will help make them independent .After school ,they hussle again for job,after job they hussle again so that they are favoured and promoted.

When the economy improves and people focus more on functional education,you will see independent women,women have been brought to depend on men.

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.

Get it together and really think about what you want. If your Muslim guy is the one for you, then go for it.
