My constraint now is Fifa 13, fairly used. Can u get it 4 me? Besides where do u live?

@OP, i think u should also consider vicoria 's opinion.
The reading session is fun, both of you r enjoying it,yes i believe he is enjoying your reading company a lot. I too had a crush who studied with me in my secondary school days and though regretfully it nvr matured beyond the friendship stage, i did gladly enjoy the hell out of our reading period together & i used 2 wish her ultimate excellence. I still love her to this day though we had to part after sec. school graduation.
Hasty climbers have sudden fall. While i beg u not to let it slip away like i did, U should get to know each other more, i mean its clear he loves u too. True love stands the test of time. Just give your feelings and your mind more time to mature, that would prolong ur reading sessions together through your years of study and help you in your academic pursuit setting a better ground 4 a prosperous relationship in future. Diving straight 4 a relationship could depress your CGPA,u already said he is an overachiever and am sure he wants your performance to mirror his cos he likes u.
He also seem like a decent dude. That xplain why he wouldn't let u touch him. If he 's shy that could partly xplain it too. It doesnt mean he doesnt like it when u do touch, it only mean in line with his religious moral code he doesnt want to sin or fall into temptation and i agree with him. He must be a firm believer that kissing,hugging,touching are physical acts of affection that could lead to sex hence restricted to married pairs alone. And 4 d sake of your love i urge u two to leave those acts out for now.
Now, sorry if i spoke too much, am not a marriage/love counsellor, i just feel like this is a beautiful love story that shouldnt end badly but well. I can relate with u a lot cos i v bn down that road too. This is my quota and all i wish u is d best.

[quote author=Yoshi-Master]Check out www.justconsolesnigeria.com for your new and used PS3 games[/quote]yeah, thank Yosh. But am tired of shipping and delivery cost attached to overall cost of my game. This is of disadvantage when buying a single cd as in my case. Used CDs r considerable options but i only go for fairly used when am out of pocket. I love my games new and am making effort to get them cheaper by avoiding middle men such as justconsoles/omagames.

demana: 9?

i cant afford 9 either. I understand if u wont want to sell your new copy any cheaper. As much as i 'd love a new copy, i just dont see that happening, d price wont go for as low as 6k for an old copy.
How about 7k, its do most i can give away.

Frostyzone, I said 'SOME ps2 games today beat a number of Ps3 games storywise'. Would u rather play Resident Evil 4 or Tomb Raider underworld. Like Prince of Persia ps2 trilogy got better story than forgotten sands on ps3.
Also in terms of gameplay, compare SMACKDOWN: Here comes the pain(ps2) to SVR 2010(ps3)
Even the game length matters, GOW 2 is lengthier than GOW 3. In my books GOW 2 has a better story.

demana: I av a new for 10 if ur up

Thanks a lot demana, 10k is way 2 much for me to pay currently and that 's why i opted for a fairly used and cheaper copy. However if u have a cheaper offer then am ready

I have been watching from afar, observing from a distance and am not impressed in the least. The thread was completely derailed just as soon as it commenced.

Umejunior: It's 6pm in the evening, I rush to the bathroom to take a clean bath and freshen up. Few minutes to 7, the phone rings, he says "Are you coming for night class?" I quickly reply, "sure!".
"Good bye room mates, I'm off to night class". I hurried with my books in my bag, my recharged lantern and not forgetting my pop socks.
I'm in, he's waiting for me. He is always with his book and his eyes are glued to it. I looked around the class to see any familiar face, none. I open my books to read, after reading for 3 hours, I lost concentration. I try to get his attention, he looks into my eyes. I started melting, he spoke in a soft tone "Are you tired?" He sounded as if he was going to give me his chest to rest on. I replied "Yes!" He smiles. I havn't seen him talking to any girl in our lecture hall. He is a good christian, a simple guy, the best in his department, my dream man. He is not rich neither is he boastful. He doesn't show any special interest in girls and that makes me to draw closer to him every minute.
He doesn't talk too much but his EYES say a lot.
For once, I summoned courage to touch his face but he was scared and turned the other way. I tried to hold his hand but he refused. He left my love hanging but he calls me often. Anytime we talk, we don't feel like leaving each other.
I went to his church, I found a seat beside him, 'I looked like his future wife' I thought. Isn't he charming, he teaches me like his own sister. He is the first born of his family. I don't know if he feels the same way I feel for him. For once, our faces were so close, I thought he was going to do it but he didn't.
I told him that I love him and he said he loves me too.

Fine story lady, he seem shy and i think he likes u a lot. Though asking him might be nice, i understand ur lack of courage and skill in that aspect. Just b a good girl,ensure he is aware that u do care anyware, i mean treat him nicely and whatever u do dont lose him.

Frostyzone: So people still play games on this outdated platform.

I bet PES 13 and all the other games are pretty lame both graphic-wise and gameplay.

With the exception of God of War I and II, and maybe Resident evil 4, no game in PS 2 is worth playing.

who told u that ps2 is so rusty that gamers shouldnt live on it? Alot of people cant even afford to buy one. I got a ps3 and hands down it completely beat ps2 but yet ps2 games like i mentioned earlier beat a good number of ps3 games especially storywise. Graphics isnt enough, and not every game on current gen have superb gameplay. Games lyk uncharted is near perfection yet its downsides still are vivid. Have u played Metal gear solid 3, or final fantasy 12?
A lot of gamers love to bash last gen games or consoles mayb cos they r lucky enough to purchase d hugely priced the latest gen. games and consoles. Well just watch closely frustyzone, PS4 launch price would be atleast twice PS3 launch price(ie about a whopping £1000) and for years to come many would hardly criticize ps3 evn when sony stops its manufacturing.

Hi gamers, u surely already know i want fairly used fifa 13 for my Ps3 from my title... fine why dont we get straight to marketting...?
Got a fairly used copy of fifa 13(ps3) in good condition for sale?, am all for it fella. Just e-mail me your number and we can proceed from there. You take my words for it. Thanks in advance customer.

There is dating from the West and there is Halal dating and make no mistake about it, if u sincerely understand your faith and know what you r doing with utmost fear of Allah then u shouldnt have any problem in getting to know a brother/sister a bit b4 meeting to meet the parents or caretaker and emerge as neat as a pin in d aftermaths. Where Seclusion, Seduction, Deception r typically turned off and Physical acts of affection as well as show off(beauty/wealth) is entirely kept at bay, Halal Dating will certainly meet the major requirement demanded by Islam, the same requirement the Traditional/Arranged route meet : Avoiding Pre-Marital Sex. This is by no way a Premarital relationship capable of gravitating towards Premarital sex Islam strives to combat among other kinds of indecency.
Lets be down to earth, Yes dating pairs may pretend a lot to culminate into marital incompatibility complications afterwards, if fear of the Almighty and truthfulness is counted out of d mix, however on the flipside ; how many of us would reveal our mummy or daddy 's address or our friend 's parent address to some fellow we know little or nothing about, no idea about his/her motives; how well do parents recognise their kids ins and outs nowadays?,how much can our friends,neighbours or evn siblings tell about us with sincere accuracy? Is how religious/nice a person is(bone of contention of discussion with Wali) enough to promise a comfortable marriage...?? Not for a second. Incompatibility issues and forced marriage could ensue at times with Traditional/Arranged marriages.
Despite my excessive ranting, citing d pros and cons of both routes, i must remind u that just like i stated previously, Trad/Arranged marriages is hands d safest and most secure lane to eliminate chances of Zina and Fornication, i still however remain candid that it is not d only islamic legal style today and mdsocks has his hands clean as a whistle.
This what happens when an unstoppable object collide with an immovable object. U wont agree with me cos u sight me as bending or reshaping the rule and i wont totally back u(tbaba1234) up cos i believe u make the rules stiffer and more stringent than they actually are. Very well then i owe a whopping 2869 posts long thread a short break.
Islam is about Intention, about Principles, about Honour, about Moderation, about Justice and Fairness. I respect and highly regard your claims but i do not wholly buy into it.

Nvr expected a response for my last post after hoping in vain for a reply to an earlier post of mine. Reading my 3 previous posts b4 this do a lot of good and go a long way in getting to catch up with me on this 2 PART FINAL NOTE. Got bigger fishes to fry offline and unfortunately, prefer not to flog the dead horse anymore after this round.
Triggering this stalemate war of words was your (tbaba1234) initial outbust,dubbing mdsocks move as disobedience to the almighty and your jumping the gun complaint on Premarital relationship and sex, even when this brother outlined his intentions and modus operandi within stipulated islamic rulings.
Kudos to u, wholeheartedly appreciate ur endorsement for traditionally arranged marriages and perhaps i must note that it is the safest and most secure track to thread for anyone muslim or not planning for marriage, but the safety and security it comes with doesnt blast away the fact that mdsocks more mordern approach while not as safe and with its fair share of risks still maintain viability within islamic spectrum.
Tell it to d marines, project and business are not the only topic male/female could navigate around,though not as frequent or as loose as single gender talks,there is a wider range of topics to pick from provided decency/taqwa isnt taken for a grain of salt;paving way for mdsocks approach, one that evn with its admittable share of risk; Pious intentions,sincerity and 'islamically' laced mannerism could b banked upon to keep one 's head out of water.
And ur Lord knows best what is in your heart and as long as u operate with the islamic limits, u do not habor His wrath but a blissful stellar marital life await ya.
Hell no, i nvr said people should just do what they feel is right, what is the use of the law then, isnt it to cater for human imperfections. In some islamic rulings there could be options, say A,B,C. 'A' might certainly b d safest bet to follow,highly recommended but resorting to B or C either due to circumstance or personal preference while sincerely sure one could handle the risk or downsides shouldn't be looked down by the islamic populace. Such is the case with Face Veil vs Modest Dressing with no face veil.

REALLY...REALLY... REALLY... We had a lot of debates here yesterday and if there is anything i learnt, it is that People are all different. People have different views or take on every possible issue ranging from broad topics like religion to simple words in the dictionary. No matter how related we r either in faith,matrimony,blood,we just cant agree on every issue life presents us with. Even the fact that at times, the apple may fall farther from the tree, speaks volume of this.
Take a better look at this, islam the case study. There are 4 islamic schools of thought. Why not just one school, why should there b 4 schools when we all claim to posses a single Al quran and Ahadith? Why d divisions? Simple, people cant be same. We all have our basis for right or wrong,our environment,upbringing and experience shape and design our judgements.
I consider Islam as a hollow Sphere not a dot. The further u r from the centre, the greater your challenges and predisposure to temptations yet as long as you haven't crossed the circumference, u still remain in the sphere. And while clinging to the centre forever might seem the safest, it definitely has it downside and might not be the best bet overall. But that is for me. To others Islam might be more than a sphere, to some it might be a dot or straight line,u r either within or outside. That is their entitled opinion, and even though i cant buy into their beliefs, i have learnt to respect everyone, even the disbelievers.
Of course you might counter me with "some people have selfish personal desires(manifesting as hypocrisy or extremism)that leads to the differences" but believe me or not personal desires has only a small contribution to our intra religious differences. Taking sample of those bombing churches,police station and killing innocent guys. Not d personal desire of any sane man to kill is it. But ironically, to them they r killing evil men and establishing order, that is their understanding of Islam. They see their union as holy. Hear what they call themselves, they mastered Arabic, offer their daily salat promptly,fast frequently, keep a full beard, and trouser length above their ankles, memorise the noble books all their life yet their committed demonic act and justified their deed and commitment by quoting verses & they wont mind gunning u down if u dare criticize or condemn their belief7 acts.
In a nutshell, people could differ by either a nose or a neck, no two muslims can have the same perspective of islam even with utmost sincerity so these debates have always being there and will always prevail.

tbaba1234: 1. Dating, boyfriend, girlfriend are absolutely haram regardless of whether there is pre-marital intimacy. In Islam, you are either married or you are not. Even when there is an agreement of marriage,you guys are still non-mahram and would still observe the limits.

As long as there is a romantic element between two people outside the confines of marriage, it is ABSOLUTELY haram. It is clear from the Quran:

Today all good things have been made lawful for you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful for you as your food is lawful for them. So are chaste, believing, women as well as chaste women of the people who were given the Scripture before you, as long as you have given them their bride-gifts and married them, not taking them as lovers or secret mistresses. The deeds of anyone who rejects faith will come to nothing, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the
losers. (Surah 5:5)

If any of you does not have the means to marry a believing free woman, then marry a believing slave– God knows best [the depth of] your faith: you are [all] part of the same familyb – so marry them with their people’s consent and their proper bride-gifts. [Make them] married women, not adulteresses or lovers. ,..... (Surah 4:25)

There is no such thing as a girlfriend or a secret romantic relationship outside the confines of marriage.


2. It does not mean interaction with females is totally not allowed but it is within certain limits. You do not engage in private conversations unless it involves a business or a project. Even then the discussion has to be centered on the important things i.e: the business or project etc. No flirting, no unnecessary talk as much as possible.

It does not mean you will not be cordial or friendly with people, it is important that you are but observe the limits.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade men and women from being alone together. He said: "Never is a man alone with a woman except that Satan is the third party with them."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) never shook hands with an unrelated woman. Umaymah b. Raqiqah said: "I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) with a group of the women of Madinah to swear fealty for Islam. The women informed Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) that they wished to swear fealty to him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'I do not shake hands with women. The way I accept the pledge from one woman is the same as with one hundred women." [al-Muwatta', Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Sunan al-Nasa'i and Sunan Ibn Majah].

There is a clear reason why free mixing and mingling with unrelated females is prohibited, it leads to all kinds of ills. Again the Sharia deals with the bigger picture.

watch this short video to understand why men and women can't be just friends. It was an experiment by a non-muslim:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_lh5fR4DMA

First, what r d romantic elements u talked of. Kissing, hugging, having immoral discussions within closed doors, hmm while it may be tempting to do all this during dating, it is quite possible to abstain. True intentions, prayer and piety is what it all waters down to. U know, there got this christain student in my school who wrote a book on this issue urging duos dating to avoid physical contact and close door meetings. I was blown away by his writing, intelligence and thoughtfullness in a large part cos he isnt a muslim. So there are a good number of individuals regardless of faith familiar with these rules, some just ignore them,some tighten them. All in all as long as u r sure to tie d knot soon she is your girlfriend evn if u followed the traditional route. U hate the word 'girlfriend' lol, and i wount hold that against u,bt beleive me there r more evil words and just remeber that some words r multifunctional.
I talked of islamic/moral limits earlier, we shouldn't have to spell them out again but i must add that even though we cry of some person crossing these limits, undeniable r those who expand the limitations consequently leaving no or a negligible level of interaction. Now tbaba 1234, u sound like one of them. And secret relationship is in no way synonymous to "DATING"-nah am sorry, thats another word u would mind me using.
Lastly, i couldn't watch d video, my browser cant open it, but i stated it earlier and i cant be any clearer than before, rare doesnt translate to inexistent or impossible. Mixed friendship might not be genuine initially in lot of cases but under a lengthy period or duration, the mutual feelings just smoulder out. Mayb u should re-scan my earlier post this morning

tbaba1234: Wa aleikum salam

I find this to be problematic. There is already a way to get knowledge of the person you want to marry, in line with the sunnah. Trust me, you won't understand your wife until after at least 5 years in marriage and even then you will still be learning. You just have to ensure that she satisfies certain criteria. You will not get a perfect person.

In matters like this, it is not just about your intention. There are girls who have the intention of just been friends with a man, but one day, the man does something to them that they never expected. They thought they were just friends.

The basis of the laws of the sharia is for the general situation and not for exceptions. In the general situation, Men and women can not just be 'friends' in the general sense.

We adapt to modern trends in line with what is acceptable... If you meet a sister, that you find attractive in many ways and you are ready for marriage. Then be direct and tell her about your interest... If she doesn't accept then leave her alone... Simple...

If she accepts to discuss the prospect of marriage then you guys have to talk about the important stuff surrounding marriage and your aspirations. This is done preferably in the presence of a maharam so that you guys understand it is serious business. It is easy to get carried away by constant phone-calls in the guise of discussing marriage and it leads to nowhere. Intentions easily get corrupted.

All of this drama here would be unnecessary and you will know where you stand.

Shall take it over from here. No doubt u spoke the truth to a marked degree but that wouldn't completely ditch away mdsocks approach. U see intentions matters a lot and while a male/female friendship might seem not feasible in the earlier runs, should i have to reaffirm its possibility in the long run when the evidences to back it up reported from personal experiences and accounts exist.
Though u might question his measures, you cant pin pointly declare mdsocks going after this lady as utter disobedience to Allah. Islam never shut out completely mixed gender interaction out of its fold, it only curtailed and regulated it setting by guidelines a finely tone pace for a healthy mixed relation but today a lot of fellas want to wipe it out entirely and considering how sophiscated our deen is, this isnt too shocking to understand.
Am not in anyway here to criticize u but i must comment on your cynism, one that really threw me for a loop, particularly when u mentioned Pre-marital sex in your earlier post. Dating/Girlfriend/Boyfriend are words some muslims hate to deal with mostly due to western role in defining it with physical intimacy. However in a broader sense dating,boyfriend,girlfriend have nothing to do with pre-marital sex,zina or indecency most people tag it with, a fact acknowledged by sincere and moral believers of any faith who have lived up to these claims.

And today mark the release of the 2nd sequel of dead space: Dead Space 3.
What ever you do, if u have beaten DS and DS2, why not go another fresh round with Isaac Clarke once more

magicmase: I give first place to Amnesia: the dark descent, its the only scary game in which u cant defend urself, much like d start of Dead space 2, Resident evil 4 is only scary the first time round, on my second playthrough, i got enough cash nd bought the chicargo typewriter, nd infinite launcher, making all battles a one shot one kill, & give Ashley the suit of armor making her invincible nd too heavy for any ganado to carry.
1. Amnesia
2. Dead space 1 & 2
3. Doom III, pls sumone tell me im not the only one to have finished this.
4. Silent Hill 2, havent played any other,
5. Cold Fear, more tense than RE cuz u cant carry extra ammo or helth around
Sumone should pls review Dead island, heard dat Metro is pretty scarry too

Firstly i admire your write up, ur survival horror game library is broader than mine.
Amnesia while being truely scary doesnt have a thing for me. I dislike combatless horror games, i want to some action no matter how mild, just like Condemned and dead space delivers. No wonder i tossed SH shattered memory aside. It got the scary atmosphere i relish for it genre but it featured zero combat. I just couldnt deal with running and hiding, that s 2 boring u know, and boredom kills me.
If u play RE4 in the day with a buddy around u then u lose the scary experience. The game isnt a horror game, atleast after a few chapters i learnt that it was an action game with horror elements. U must have read my post listing the 9 scariest moments, beside them the other moments felt indifferent or at best intense, but untill i catch on with other survival horror classics, it is d scariest for me
I know of Cold Fear, a perfect RE4 rip-off but i snatched it out of my disc tray once i noted this, dont know when i 'll try it though.

DEAD SPACE 3 to be released today. Am sorry, to divert the thread but i 'll pick DS3 over GTA5 at this moment. I nvr got in to GTA franchise

carefreewannabe: The sudden death of my beloved mama. That was extremely traumatic.

i 'm quite sorry, hard to get over the death of such a beloved one, particularly a mom. While u will always remember her, u will surely overcome the post traumatic saddness in order to strive to become a daughter she 'd b proud of.

carefreewannabe: 1. children
2. children
3. children

If I didn't want to become a mother, I probably wouldn't marry. This is a life-sentence and most times an unhappy institution.

Nooo... it shouldn't have to be that way, Mr Right may be elusive but he is no fiction. Okay if u believe u dont need him, he needs u. He needs your love & care,your concern and support. He needs u to save him during hard times. U might be destined for him, for much more accomplishment with him, more that children alone.
Sometimes we meet our destiny on the path we take to avoid it. Marriage doesnt have to be a life sentence, it should b life fulfilment. It could be a happy institution.

Yes i truly support female right.
If u ve bn true with your judgement about the society, u observe that women have been forced to remain in the shadows for so long. And so i keep asking 'God, why do women always get the short end of the stick?'. The answer is obvious, most men are scared empowering women will depower them. They dont want to know how much she could contribute to the society, they fear she would take their place,they are scared of being challenged by ladies in terms of achievements and fulfilments.
The irony of this is some women share peculiar views with these kind of men,confirning themselves to the kitchen and bedroom. Contributing nothing to the society, to people out there in need, to general societal advance.
Well, i dont want a traditional woman. I dont need a submissive maid, i want a Partner,strong independent and capable of calling the shots either in my absence or when things turn sour for me. This is why i support female rights or empowerment.

9ineGames: ^^ sorry for replying late(yes we are based in Nigeria/Lagos)i 100% agree with u(games are very expensive here)that's y 9inegames is coming into the market to try and make things cheap,our site is currently under constructions (we should be up around march this year)u can like us on Facebook for updates.our aim is to be the game-stop for Africa*(The release date for God of war:ascension- has been marked down for March 13 in Europe, and March 15 in the UK, whilst North America will get the game a little earlier in March 12)we were only talking abt the demo

Thanks, 9inegames is possibly the best gaming news i heard in a while. I hope u guys would be ready for customer fair business soon. My ps3 is just collecting dust cos price of cds are so huge and their markets are almost inexistent in 9ja perhaps i could bank on u guys as soon as u r ready...., too bad i live far from lagos.

1.LEON S. KENNEDY Resident Evil franchise
2.KRATOS from God of war franchise
3.LARA CROFT Tomb Raider franchise
