I really do not understand all this online stories. People keep saying Yoruba weddings are very cheap. how come most Yoruba bros for where I worked and presently working do take loan for their weddings despite d fair pay.

yeah yoruba weddings are very cheap and in fact they can agree to do it in a small compound depends on your pocket and the groom's family but when it comes to party yoruba guys always love something done big... Well the loan big money thing was done specially by the man to make his wedding memorable no string attached...you can even finish a yoruba wedding including ceremony with 80 or 60k... Trust me Its so true and you can ask people in person

Varies. Some take from N10 - N50 others between N70 - N120....but never seen a case of more than N200.

We do it this way to stem the notion that you are buying our daughter. Because if you eff up, instantly your fee will be refunded and we can take our daughter back. Some clans even want their daughters buried in her father's place instead of the husband's, because they didn't sell her to the man. Its not his property.

juat curious... if its not selling then what is the huge amount for?

calebo101:
Very lame analysis. Do you sometimes think there are no educated people on nairaland? Or are you like actually dumb or doing this on purpose?? Please apply to Sahara Reporters for a job. That should be your true calling. Stop wasting your talents here mate.

then give us your analysis mr educated cos i dont understand what you are trying to prove... that he is wrong? Then prove him wrong by giving out your point... Well this illness is what i called nigerian individual blindness NIB where we will see what is right and call it wrong... Well i guess you are a nigerian police officer because most of them have this illness... Its not about a debate its about stating your points and let people understand why you proved him wrong... Only if you are clueless like Jona... Am not into party sh*t so dont think am a supporter but lets called truth a truth

Iamsynord:
Before we start judging d Police let consider d following facts

1) What type of tattoo did he draw.
2) There are some Cult groups That have a distinctive type of tatoo may be bird axe

they may have wanted to arrest on d suspension on his involvement in cult or following suspicious behaviour or tip off

Under the Nigerian law resisting arrest is another criminal offence.

However this is a Shameful act by the police
Deer are others way to go about it..he has a right to have a tattoo. SSQ or interrogation could have been best used.Bad image for d police force

Modified

** I am totally suprised and amazed at some of my mentions.I am merely trying to be neutral .I wonder whether sum pple read my post to the End before quoting me.I equally condemned the Act by the police too. pls people ( nairakanders) ket's be reasonable and civil in all we do

i read all what you wrote but if you can answer this question... Some cult do wear blue so when you put on blue does that mean you are a cult? We have the freedom to do anything on our body its our life... Are they (policemen) the one feeding him? And where was it written in the nigerian constitution that its a crime to draw tattoo? He didn't commit any crime don't draw tattoo is just african stupid mentality and besides my grandma had her name tattooed on her leg and stomach.

sotall:
please try another trick, this one is too obvious


Announce to us that you are taking only 50% of your salary but there are other avenues through which you plan to loot the treasury

see as person dey talk... How many of the nigerian leaders don do this kain thing before and yet you saw a leader doing something good and you still criticise him... Na wa for naija o... If he didn't do anything you will complain if he does something you will complain no wonder nigeria is not moving forward

All i see is ebola and ebola lol

pazienza:
Yorubas have no business with Ndiigbo, we are not even neighbors to begin with. Once we get Biafra, YORUBAS and their Arewa masters should sort themselves out in their one Nigeria.

if you all igbos want biafra so bad, why are you still in the west... All the igbos should move to the east to begin with and by so doing other tribe will take yall serious and it will aid your independence hunger if true you really want it. but for now... Your biafra is like a joke which igbo like to talk of everytime. Besides i always love it when igbo and yoruba are not unite because the unity will be a disaster because they will never get over the war in which their greedy ojuku led most of them to their deaths and flew out of the country when things are got worse leaving them to suffer. But they will never learn.

Here are some fact to understand the way men thinks and maybe it might help you get along with your guy better. Besides it kinda long but if you cant read dont complain its not by force to read it... lMFAL!!

Realize that men tend to be more competitive.Research has shown that men are more likely than women to take jobs in which pay is dependent on outperforming their peers, and you probably know from personal experience that men tend to be more interested in sports (playing or watching). [1]A lot of men act this way because they thrive on competition, and take satisfaction in having skills or traits that dominate others. If you're playing against him in a game, don't be surprised if his mood suddenly turns intense and merciless if he starts losing. Accept it with good humor and move on.
*.Encourage his competitive hobbies. You'll notice that a lot of stereotypical men's activities - such as gaming, watching or playing sports, and extreme sporting - are focused on some element of competition. Because succeeding in competition can be more important to men, support the activities that can bring your guy this sort of satisfaction in a relatively safe way.

Be aware that men are more visually-driven.Eyesight is one of the strongest senses, and processing all the things you may see takes up a large portion of day-to-day cerebral processing. Men, however, are even more apt than women to respond to visual cues. [2]As a result, you might find that men prefer to view a map to understand directions over hearing the directions read, or they might insist that they need to see a problem in order to fix it. Try not to be annoyed at this tendency, and accept it as an inborn trait he may not know how to control.
*.Don't be too offended if he looks at other women. Being more attentive to visual stimulus means that a guy might be more inclined to look - or even stare - at attractive people. But don't get bent out of shape - just because he looks at a woman in a low-cut shirt doesn't mean he automatically wants to sleep with her. These small glances are generally harmless, and are more of a reflex than an indication of a doomed relationship.

Learn that men and women don't value the same parts of a conversation.Research indicates that this difference begins in childhood, when little girls form bonds by sharing secrets and discussing problems while boys bond over shared activities and interests [3]. If you expect your boyfriend or husband to be like your best female conversation partner, only better, you might be surprised - men tend not to build strong relationships through conversation, and they switch topics more frequently than women do. [4]In addition to this, men also don't make as much eye contact when they're talking to someone. Instead, their gazes wander to other objects in the immediate area as they talk.
*.Instead of punishing him for this difference and complaining that he never listens to you, choose your battles. If you really want to discuss an important topic with a man, frame it in a way that doesn't leave him guessing. Say, "It's important to me that we talk about this, and it would mean a lot to me if you could listen closely." If he cares about you, he'll make the extra effort to up his participation to your level.
*.Expect to hear a solution. Another side effect to the way men have conversations is that they tend to focus on how to fix a problem. If you just want a man to offer you comfort and reassurance instead of instructing you on what to do, tell him that at the beginning of the conversation. Remember that he's trying to help you find a solution because he cares, and that's what he thinks caring people do in a conversation, not because he wants to boss you around.

Understand that men can't always identify emotions as quickly as women can.Think of the old stereotype of a husband who has no idea what he's done to enrage his wife. It's possible that he's not just being deliberately clueless - he might genuinely have no idea why she's upset, or whether she's upset at all. Because women have more developed limbic systems, they're better at classifying and reading emotions, a skill that was useful when women were primarily in charge of maintaining social connections in ancient cultures. Men, on the other hand, lag behind women in studies of how the sexes identify and control emotions. [5]
*.Don't expect him to read your mind. If you're upset at a man, tell him in a way that's as calm and reasonable as possible. Once he's aware of how you feel, he can take measures to remedy the problem. If you don't tell him, though, you can't necessarily count on him to pick up your cues.
*.Give him space. Because men aren't accustomed to discussing their personal problems at length with a buddy, you might find that they tend to process such problems on their own. If a man shuts down when you try to discuss his personal issues, back off gracefully and give him space to get over it. Most men will let you know if they want to talk about it.
Know that it's harder for men to be "just friends" with women.Studies show that men in seemingly platonic relationships with women are more likely to be attracted to their female friends, and also more likely to have the misguided belief that the women harbor sexual feelings for them. Though women have also shown signs of having sexual feelings for their male friends, they are more likely to back off when they know the men are in relationships; men are less deterred when their female friends have boyfriends and still show signs of wanting to pursue them. [6]
*.This doesn't mean, however, that every male friend you have really has a crush on you, deep down.

Understand that men and women can operate differently in the workplace.Though men and women may be completing the same task or inhabiting the same office, men and women take a different approach to getting work done. Men tend to be more focused on completing a specific task while women are more focused about the process used to get the job done; women tend to ask more questions while men have a harder time listening. Both sexes, however, do feel that the oppose sex is not as sensitive to their needs in the workplace. [7]
*.Men and women tend to react differently in the workplace in terms of stress, too. While women may openly express concern about a failed project, men may retreat and seek solitude in the face of failure.
*.Women and men also seek appreciation differently. Women are happier when they are complimented on a group task, while men like to be singled out.

icekoko:
Yes, the person I'm currently dating I met him on Facebook and we have been so into each other. Even if we end up not getting married I will have no regrets cos he showed me what being dia for someone u truly Love means. When Loves founds you the circumstances behind the meeting becomes irrelevant.

let me guess... He has been there for you like financial support right? Hummm he is a nice guy Lmfal !!!

divaoflife:
Did you just wake?He-goat.

man there is nothing like he goat in this and its a matter of guys things... If you dont like dating so many woman its your choice and guys tend to date as much as possible.. Its not the matter of playing with some women heart its a matter of choosing who is best for you. Even if you have the chance of dating many girls you will do it and dont come up here and act like a pastor. Besides you know how many girls don play with men heart for no reasons? And why do you have wet dreams fu*king another girl which is not your girlfriend. Now you see its a man thing.

Built2last:
Take note of the word ''SUSPECTED'' mastermind

Suspect or suspected is the term any military or paramilitary do call anyone arrested even they are caught red handed in the act. They are always called suspect until the court gives the judgement. If you don't know, you should know now.

aflyingbird:
girl, you're not interested in this guy, stop taking his money, let him go. you're probably giving him false hope and he's too foolish to realize he should move on. it's not by force to date or love someone, he should realize that and u should too. don't think because you're now 29, you gotta settle with someone you're not into

how does he know when you need financial assistance unless you tell him. no need to keep string him along for what u can get out of him

dont say he is foolish to see that he cant win the girl... A girl word can be different from her actions... It depends on the way the girl acts that will keep the guy hoping. Well

johnson055:
And when change we come since all this day

the change is already happening... And did jona do anything during his 6 yrs? Where i live our electricity is more efficient and even the ban off the importation is a sign of change cos most of the low class people always base on chinese product and again you forgot jonathan said he will increase money for clearing cars inwhich buhari reduced... So solve the maths its change time....am not fond of hausa people but truth is always truth and we shouldnt deny something better all in the name of tribe or pride

free2ryhme:
I believe you dont live in nigeria

you are the one not living in nigeria... I stay at the army barracks at bolade and now living in mafoluku at the same oshodi... So i know lot of shit than you do and from what i can see you dont even know a shit about ghetto life... So its just the fucking truth about the fucking npf and dem no born dem well make dem try shit inside barracks... The robbery that took place at bolade they killed 2 policemen and the commandant at the barrack said the soildiers at the gate not to do anything cos its a police case and they are all jokes and the soildiers stood there and the robbers maintain where to shoot at not even a shot at the soldier at the gate... Npf rubbish and i think you are just a policeofficer son defending your father while he steps on weaker harmless people and cant stand up to someone his size

free2ryhme:
police no be spirit ooo


nobody wan die

no be spirit? If dem dey collect bribes or collect money for yahoo boys wey no be their work dem no go talk say no be spirit but if e don reach to do their work to protect citizen dem go talk say no be spirit...if dem no wan die, why dem con sign up for police force? Its just like a soldier that said he cant go for war when called for... Then why signup in the army when he knows he never wanted to die... No let them dey lie for you... Policemen are joke and thats why army hate them a lot...

oluwafemi113:
Girls of now adays done they get mind ooooo

dont be fooled by what police tells you or how some armed robber gangs steal and go free... It was all staged like a movie... Police do collect bribe from armed robbers and they will never interfere during the robbery and besides where were those police patroling when the robbers were busy stealing for almost 2 hours? And i have seen something like this before at mafoluku oshodi rain oil petrol station where by the moment the robbers left the police came and all they say is we will investigate whereby the station was a stone throw from the incident... Nigerian police force is rubbish. They use ak47 and still complain that the guns were not enough and what about the usa police that make uses of pistol no matter the crime?

prestige2013:
Well, I don't date girls.
Kidz thinx



As high as she worth to you to make yourself happy.

then who do you date? Boys? You must be a gay if you date boys man lol

Only in dream and fantasy or in movies and he died in few movies.

Its never a crime if you spend no dime on a lady if she really understands your pocket and you are not forming big man... But the best is try hold some cash when takin a lady out it will make the lady respect you more.. And again it depends on where you wanna take her. If i were you and the lady knew am not a big man... I guess i will take her to eatry with just 4 k with me.. When we get there i will tell her to take whatever she wants and she will form big girl and pick max something of 1500 and after everything i take a bike from eatery to my house and i f*ck her bad... Guycode... Strange but true lol

SOUNDKING:

todayboy:
check on google yourself you will several blog post, tweeter, facebook and commentaries on the term Daura President

google pick from what people posted and I wonder why people keep locking on buhari just cos jona didn't won the election
why can't we all wait and see what he is going to do cos afterall we all knew how the country was before handlin over to buhari. so my question is what has Jonathan done when he was elected during his first 2 weeks to improve Nigeria? like subsidy that Jonathan imposes by force on people? or the state of emergency he decleared in lagos to stop the protest? I was there and I knew what soldiers did to protesters that day. and yet Jonathan came out and told Nigerians he is a good sample of democracy. Nigerians wise up support and don't destroy a leader and look beyond tribal issues.

let me give you this riddle to solve I am something I have 16 children and 4 wives what am i?

Jaypea98:
Allah is not the arabic name for God (jehova) .
I dont support him either but
They serve a different 'gOD".
The arabic translation of the Bible was made before Mohamned was born(1600) and allah was never mentioned please google it.....
Thats why the call us infidels......

lol you have little knowledge and read. this to enlighten yourself ... www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Saifullah/bibleallah.htm ... I research more than you do man you sit and learn

Afterall they said without a man, women will live fine so let them live to their words... They shouldnt take it personal and i wish we can do this in naija too and see how shakara naija girls go dey protest... It will be lovely! Lol

princejenks:
I want to ask generally speaking which gender writes better when we talk about sex and romance stories or experiences. Some say female writers are more descriptive in their writing of romance stories;as in they capture sexual emotions better than the male writers. So what do you guys think?

male writers are better and mostly are rank number one when it comes to romantic novel... Male knows much more about the female body cos we tend to have this curiousity to know more about women and we are straight to point and women dont give a shit cos no matter what you do, they always enjoy it. So their lazy crappy arse are too lazy to know what a man really wants unless they read online and thats why they keep on saying men are hard to understand. Lol

PRYCE:
Not news! It's as expected!! I wonder how long Buhari Intends to stall his 'CHANGE'! But how can one change a country of 180 million people if he doesn't move with time @ WestGermany? I hope y'all know that 'Change' doesn't always mean changing for good?

and whats your point? During jona 2 week what did you see? All i see is still old nigeria but during buhari 2 weeks all i see is change smelling all over so stop complaining and a good half bread is better than none

kay29000:
Whoa! This is really bad...mostly women and children. So sad. It's time like this I wonder who has more power...God or the Devil. So much evil..so much sorrow, so much bad in the world, more than good. Anyway,if you have problem lasting long in bed, hit me up on BBM- 7C22F6EC.

mostly women and children and what about the men? Its not a terrible thing if a man dies? Besides God is the most powerful and God takes and bring not devil. Devil is just to tempt and bring disagreement. So our prayer should be God when my time to leave comes God let it be gentle and good way. Amen!

pasol4real:
seriously,but she made ur economy the largest in África n one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

not by her work... Is she the only one doing it? During obj time yeah she tried but during jona time she is a complete flop and had it been she is a football player this time even a relegation team wont like to bid for her.
