[color=#2ecc71]that's because the fantasy of a charming prince was for white women,
Black women weren't afford that even that small privilege

You know little of racial issues, educate yerself before you speak anymore [/color]

lovelygurl:
So when I open threads so that our ladies wouldn't be doing copy copy and actually appreciate themselves, you still come here and complain. Wtf? You aren't make any sense dude

[color=#9999ff][i] you can't compare beauty standards placed on men and women any rce because for men they are nonexistent[/color]

makydebbie:
uhmm so what's your point

KingCheezyPuff:
[color=#9999ff] why do you speak on issues you know little about
~
White women aren't called"white beauties" because they are billed as the definition of beauty
~
standards are set by them and every other woman are held 2 this eurocentric beauty standard
~~
But I hear you on the part of othering dark skin women with the labeling of Black beauties.[/color]

SalomonKane:
I love her skin.

makydebbie:
I'm black and beautiful

Black is beautiful

lovelygurl:
U still don't get it done you?

Being black isn't = ugly because ugliness has nothing to do with being black. If you are ugly then it's not BECAUSE you are black but these beautiful ladies aren't shown on TV but instead we see bleached ladies. A Nigerian celebrity (forgotten her name)once said her dark skin has once been a problem for her. You shouldn't be pushing ladies to putting dangerous chemicals on their bodies. Let them know that because they are black doesn't mean they are ugly. Being black doesn't mean ugly.


Oh and are you white?

I said black because we are on an African forum but black comes in different shades not just in fair !


You've been shouting self esteem issues since like forever. Looool, you don't even know me, jeez!

Go back to Doris now and thank me later

Ranchhoddas:
Accept Jesus into your life. Na the best solution be that.

Zikdik:
As a kid, I went visiting my grandparents. I was playing in his room and somehow managed to remove his "gbekude" from where it was hanging out on the wall. I still have the scars of whip on my back.

Curiously though, he did not die until around twelve years later.

DeSepiero:
If you're bent on this, you should rather bring the charms to Seun's door step and see if he'd burn and discard them as he stated, rather than ask him to go look for charms to discard. That doesn't sound sensible.

mrmrmister:
Oh no
What if something happens? Will you take responsibility?

HardMirror:
Yeah yeah... We all know christians are scared of charms (even more than their god), and you folks are surprised atheists don't share this fear with you.

hopefulLandlord:
calm down, no one is chasing you

isn't it funny how this moved from "feathers at your door" to ........ this?

"just as expected" because I've been through discussions such as these and they all lead to this

next would be for Seun to go and desecrate a shrine.......

but hey, I lack such comprehension

Onegai:
So, let's get some things some things straight:

1. I am quite a good number of years older than you (more than 8 years age difference) and you are a Yoruba girl. There is a chain of command and respect in that relationship. So you will address me as "Auntie" and not "Sis" until I see fit that.

2. You are very right: I have never used a Tecno tablet in my life. I used to use a Samsung and I accidentally broke an Apple tablet maybe that's why I want yours so badly, broken screen and all

3. I have only spoken to tell you that when your mum comes home from church, you should apologise to her. And I told you I won't give you money but I will help you. But I have not insulted you, if I had, you would remember. I am a Delta woman with Yoruba relatives, a quick temper and sarcastic tongue. That combination means you will be in tears when I'm done with you. Promise.

4. A lot of people here are using you as entertainment and a cautionary tale to their children. They don't care about you. They cannot sustain you even if they dash you credit or N5,000 and will use you as gist and laughter for their friends. And they already are. But I give a shi.t about you because I don't want your next baby to be for the Vulcaniser down your street. Which is where you're heading if you don't stop and do a 180° change in your life.

5. Apology NOT accepted! You didn't mean it. Rule no.1: don't apologise if you don't mean it. I'd respect you more if you did. I have zero respect for you now, which is why I'm being tough on you. If you wanna earn that respect, you'll pull yourself up and become a great mother.

6. Yes, you're gonna start paying rent and feeding in that house. I've asked Thorpido to tell your mum. No more free lunches. Or please move out and try and do it on your own. You should also start thinking of how to pay schoolfees for your son, he's 3. Pre-K starts at 3. That's what ADULTS do: they solve their problems by relying on their skills.

7. I would advise anyone NOT to give you money, NOT to help you open a bank account, NOT to give you money to start a business. YOU ARE 26 YEARS OF AGE AND A MOTHER OF 1. YOUR MATES ARE DANCING AT THE ALTAR EVERY SATURDAY AT THEIR WEDDING AND GOING TO WORK EVERY MONDAY. You have NOT finished school, you have NOT finished your Beautician course, you have NOT held a job down in your life, you could NOT even do Olosho work properly (go to Benin, girls are using ashawo work to build houses, go to VI and Ikeja, babes dey use kitten open store and are paying their parents' bills. You're here).

You need to succeed at something and start turning your "I have NOT" into "I HAVE ACHIEVED".

If you like, please listen to those petting you. I will not pet you, I am hard on you because that means I really think you can change. If I pet you and am gentle on you, that means I assume you are a lost cause and I'm just being kind to you to fulfill my daily dose of Likes and arse-kissing on NL. I owe you nothing, I have not even helped my cousins. Some of them are you, they learned how to born throway from their mothers and now they are doing the same. I could not help them, but I may think of trying with you.

It's upto you to decide what you want yo do now. Rule no.2: you have to start owning your own decisions and accepting their consequences of them.

We cool?

hopefulLandlord:
and the goalpost is shifted just as expected

me just dey look you like

Lol. Some will even deny that there's any such experience. Thank God he's even enlightened enough to an explanation. We speak what we've seen, not Google search. Why, this same sleep paralysis never dared to attempt any attempt to happen to me since that year i prayed it away? i've since slept in all kinds of places, village and beds.

TruthHurts1:
Seun is already defecating in his trousers at the prospect having to pass the ultimate form of trial by ordeal which a self acclaimed atheist can go through.

winner01:
One yoruba adage addresses this thread:

"Ti omode ba de ibi eru, eru a baa".

Seun:
I'm not afraid of feathers, bones, cotton bands of any color, or palm fronds. I don't see why stringing them together would make them more scary. I would use a stick to push it aside, and walk into the house, smiling and shaking my head about how stupid the person who placed the silly contraption on my doorstep must think I am. Later, I would pour some fuel over it nonchalantly and burn it. I'd avoid inhaling the fumes.

hahn:
I have never had such an experience though but it does sound similar to spiderman's "spider sense" so we can easily conclude that spiderman is responsible, right?

HardMirror:
how many gut feelings are relevant. More like paranoid feelings

I'd bring it home. How do you explain the real-time reaction of mum miles away within minutes of her son being shot even with no voice or text communication?

How do you explain that mother-child connection that's almost telepathic even when distanced from each other?

Look HARD in the MIRROR, the truth's about to hit you square in the face.

HardMirror:
There is nothing supernatural here. Our minds extract memories randomly or from inducements even a smell can make you recall someone. Now to your question. How many memories do u have in a day? How many are relevant?
Is it everyone u remember that something bad happens to?
Coincidences are bound to happen with our haphazard our minds work

Have a rethink if you think I'd let off you and the other residents of IgnoranceVILLE easily. I intend to draw you out and expose the lies you trade in.

Trying to be evasive by throwing back the question at me?

Clairvoyance has nothing to do with memories. It's a connection with events which transcends space and happens in real-time. It's not a recollect of saved memories.

Save the semantics , forget about skating on this slippery floor - you'd fall face first. Answer the question. We're all waiting.

If you can't, admit your ignorance and I'd explain it.

gensteejay:
From the perspective of some atheists on Nairaland, reality is solely based on facts or 'concrete ideas'. How then do they account for intuition or gut feeling (as stated by T.SOM earlier) as a scientific concept, regardless of the fact that it is an idea in soft science?

Heck! How do they explain the existence of aliens? Scientists still believe there are intelligent life forms which exist outside our planet.

Oddly and ironically, theism/religion has always asserted that "we are not alone." Other beings exist.

They call them "aliens", we call them "spirits". Yet, they criticize us even though they borrowed and modified the concept from religion.

Ishilove:
If you insist spirit spouses don't exist because you don't have proof, what explanation will you give for those who have personal experiences with these demons?

My dear, you can say these things don't exist because you've never come across those who have them, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. You cannot tell a man like lastchild who has a spirit wife to prove to you he has one because he has nothing to gain by trying to convince you.

Stephenmorris is just one of the many atheists who've built for themselves mansions with slabs of lies on Ignorance Avenue.


He/they want you to believe ethereal beings are non-existent but they cheer on scientists and organizations who believe in the existence of aliens without proof.

Double standards and hypocrisy? No surprises, it's always been the hallmark of atheism.

gensteejay:
Interesting comment. Let's see how the so-called 'logical' people will respond to this.

Of course, they'd play blind. Noticed even Hahn skipped it? How convenient!

HardMirror:
The supernatural does not exist, because for ANYTHING to happen it only means it can happen, it is natural for it to happen no matter how extra-ordinary it may seem to us, it happened only because it is natural for it to.

Surely you've been in a situations where you have odd gut feeling that a loved one is being endangered or harmed. You've not been in communication with the said person for months yet the gut feeling persists. Days later you get a call which informs you that the aforementioned has been harmed. It's called "CLAIRVOYANCE."

Pray, what's the scientific explanation for clairvoyance? Don't even start with immunologic memory 'cause it doesn't apply.

I've got a theism-based explanation for it but, first, let's read yours.
