some peeps r g'on be like wtf!!!

lukecent: Plz, I jxt got me a htc pro2, hw do I download some of these apps.

go to "android market", now "play store" on your phone. It's already an icon on the phone, log on to it and activate with your gmail account. Pick and search for this stuff and you're good.

maclatunji: Search on Google for writing Opportunities. It will not bring quick money but it can open really big doors if you set your mind to it. You can even browse the internet, some people don't have resources to do that. Your life already looks like an intriguing story- why not create a blog and tell the world your story in a brilliant manner, you could get decent offers thereby. If you cannot create a blog, post your story on Nairaland Literature Section and let see how we can push you as a writer.

very ver reasonable, he has said it all...
I'm sure many people here will help you..create a blog (if u dunno l, search google and NL, if you stil dunno get it i'll come in).

Come to Nairaland and either find publisher (magazine or newspaper) directly or find people who will be willing to collaborate.This thread is enough to give you a unique story... and direct traffic to your blog.
you have better bargaining power with a blog or something of such than without

....still making some calls

Wislet: So , say 'some ladies'.

Good to know how realistic that business with pleasure thingy 'might' not be...

*******************************************
The lady might be unproductive but might be sensible, there are many lawyers out there that she can also employ (easier with her B.power)... and i'm sure the OP will not want to wage a frontal war. better deal with this on bed .
my view ooh..

Egba girl: me sef wan buy SUV before August. so how we go take do am? lol

I wonder why i always have a thing to contribute in every crucial decision

I'm sure you guys have heard of German machines....
The SUVs made in Germany are far superior to all others (please, dunno crucify me for saying that).
while perfection itself does not exist, German machine makers try to search for perfection!!!

Come to me for private consultations (exclusive) coz i know my way around
ehm...
Egba girl first, i'll fixed a date for the others

anonymous6: exactly, the immediate environment is what needs to be addresses, as far as I am concerned; Nigerians fix their problems as a primary goal, african american fix their problems as a primary goal, and etc. Your online club you want to start is good, start small and expand. This is one of the reasons I am glad Nigeria has their own business/entrepreneur sector, media, fashion industry, entertainment industry and etc now, they are doing what Indians are doing for their own community for a while now, not wait on the western world for help on it.

Hopefully...
I dont think we should be compared to the likes of india for now. although, we are thriving in these sectors as you've mentioned buh you shouldnt leave behind the main aim most of us (esp Nigerians) are going into business, too win at all cost. If our motivation is development, a different pictured will definitely be painted but as it is now...
So help us God!!!

Let me share one of the personal ways i've been trying to help this...

This virus is far more than what we can all heal, we can only help our immediate environment (the ones within the reach of our power), so...
i'm planning to create a club (sort of like a cult), where the members are those with utmost sincerity, high prestige, high self esteem and high integrity. we might just be 5 or less. So far we share the same aim of purification, we'll share ideas and spread systematically (more on screen than reality though)...
This sickness is to widely spread to be cleansed at once, we can just help our immediate environment...

Hope good people out there can also hold their heads up.
The unborn will never want to experience this world if where they'll live can be foreseen. I pity them but unfortunately, i can only help my own...

Hope there are good people out there who can create a good world for their unborn to live in :S

Wislet: vex wetin?
If na me sef, i for don find way to kick am off straight.
I no dey take business play ooo.
Nt to talk of de one wey i own...u come dey play with am.
Hmmmm.

u're a lady...
most of you are very emotional, that can b used against u by someone who knows how to achieve what he wants...

Likewise how ladies are using guy's lust against him...
everything boils down to achieving your aim if you want to succeed... life is unfair... we dont have to try too hard against it

i personally dunno think it's a crime to be emotional, you just have to contain it.

Great!!!
what i think you can do at the moment ( as i think you dunno want to go harsh) is to sit her down and discuss things over with..
Who ended the relationship, you or her

If it's you then, your price for keeping the company might be for you to be on a page with her and... if it's otherwise...
you just have to be best of friends while still trying to buy her share off with time...

She's a lady, use her emotions against her (ladies in d house, no vex oo)... Shower her with affection, just be as diplonatic as possible...
....while still 'diplomatically' reducing her say in the company.

Odunnu: Those drugs are not supposed to be sold over the counter. Go get a prescription and dont kill yourself.

Egba girl: ha! I dont think so man. lol. I doubt NL is like that.

Sanjanets: Can drugs cure depression? If yes,pls tell me d name & where to buy it.Pls,send to sanjanets@yahoo.com.Tanx in anticipation!

I am not Seun but i can help...
You must first know the category you fall into:

1. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are some of the first antidepressants used to treat depression. They primarily affect the levels of two chemical messengers (neurotransmitters), norepinephrine and serotonin, in the brain. Although these drugs are effective in treating depression, they have more side effects, so they usually aren't the first drugs used. e.g Anafranil, Adapin, Aventyl, Elavil, Endep and Norpramin
Down side:
Dry mouth, blurred vision, increased fatigue and sleepiness, weight gain, muscle twitching (tremors), constipation, bladder problems such as urine retention, dizziness, daytime drowsiness, increased heart rate, sexual problems.

2. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are another early form of antidepressant. These drugs are most effective in people with depression who do not respond to other treatments. Substances in certain foods, like cheese, beverages like wine, and medications can interact with an MAOI, so these people taking this medication must adhere to strict dietary restrictions. For this reason these antidepressants also aren't usually the first drugs used e.g Emsam, Eldepryl, Nardil, Marplan, Parnate and Zelapa.
Down Side:

3. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a newer form of antidepressant. These drugs work by altering the amount of a chemical in the brain called serotonin e.g. Celexa, Lexapro, Luvox, Paxil, Pexeva, Prozac, Sarafem and Zoloft
Down Side:
Must avoid certain foods and medications to avoid dangerous interactions* Serious side effects may include: headache, heart racing, chest pain, neck stiffness, nausea and vomiting. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical care immediately.

4. Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are another newer form of antidepressant medicine. They treat depression by increasing availability of the brain chemicals serotonin and norepinephrine.
I don't have examples for this...

After knowing where you belong, you can get a list and start checking phamarcy stores around you.
Hope it's useful?

chux76: Haba...my thread don turn love platform ba? I think I gotta start charging U 2(u knw urselves)per words you type on my thread...make I start d calculation sef..

.. per the free consultation you've gotten, i think you're owing us bunch... .
c ur mouth, hope it helps?

DailyNews: Nice analysis, so are u saying in essence that black in biblical stand point, is evil since they originated from the tribe of Ham It baffles me a lot how we (blacks) cannot challenge things, especially technology, corruption & plane governance....SMH

It's awfully embarassing... even if you try debating otherwise, there are black brothers out there that will still be jailed for corruption tommorrow. History is against us, we at the present are not helping things...
The only way we can change the bad notions is to have a positive projection to the future...
That might be hard as nature itself doesn't look so friendly, so... some of us who are bold enough are trying to preach the good message of us to the world through media. That is also not looking too good as the industry's base is either on juju or replication of the white people's work..
we cannot but be persistent and hopefully we will one day cut the chase...
Hopefully....

Everything says we're evil (boko haram scores a point in that), we who believe otherwise will continue working otherwise till the story changes otherwise..
May God help us!!!!

dunno mind ma bad english, cant bliv it's me

Guys... i think what most of you are thinking of is only the effect the lady has on the company, not that+ what people will see of the company. Do you think that changing of name is a credible explaination for investors?
Do you think the lady will just sit there and not come up with a blackmail (staing that's y you decide to leave her out?)

Do you think intelligent people will invest in an unstable company?

Don't you put what their constitution says into consideration?

Is it so easy to change a name and think you can run it the same way you ran the former?

That idea is cute for a company that is starting not that has started...

Imagine facebook changing facebook for another name and waiting to collapse facebook...

do you think rival companies like google+ (still using facebook as an example) will just watch while you continue your drama...

will you ever look credible again after a single stain on your company

THE ONLY THING THE LADY NEEDS IS TO GET FEW WITNESSES WITH HER BLACKMAIL (easier to get than a guy)

The best thing to do is to plan a replica who is oppisite in diplomacy, who can withstand her while you treat it with utmost carefulness

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THE LADY ISN'T READING THIS?

i'm just being realistic, if it works for you... then,
Goodluck!!!

Happy birthday Oh...
So... how old are you??

it depends on the area you are and the parts available.. just walk around

in case you want to go western...

i got this for you...

Step 1
Use over-the-counter gels. Thoroughly wash your scar with a mild soap and warm water to soften the tissue. Dry the scar with a lint-free towel. Use a patting motion rather than rubbing to avoid skin irritation, then apply a scar gel to the scar. According to MedlinePlus, products like Mederma or silicone gels can protect your scar and improve the texture of the skin. They can also reduce discoloration and make the skin flatter so it blends more readily with the rest of your skin. Apply the gel daily until you see results.

Step 2
Have a dermabrasion treatment. This resurfacing treatment involves a dermatologist using a wire brush to essentially sand off the top layer of your skin. This can help remove scar tissue that's hardened and allow softer tissue to show through. It can also reduce pigmentation issues like redness over the course of several treatments.

Step 3
Have a laser treatment. A pulsed dye laser uses light to reduce the size of scars to make them flatter and to repair pigmentation. The treatment is non-invasive andyou'll be entirely healed within a week. Several treatments are usually needed to gain the best results.

Becuase of the curse of ham

Because Ham was the father of black people, and because he and his descendants were cursed to be slaves because of his sin against Noah, some Christians said, "Africans and their descendants are destined to be servants, and should accept their status as slaves in fulfillment of biblical prophecy." Now there existed a myth of inferiority with apparent biblical roots. This theological basis provided the raw material necessary to convince the slaves that to resist their assigned inferior status was to resist the will of God. This myth
became an authoritative myth because it was rooted in theology, and slave owners used this twisted theology to sustain a perverted sociology.

This process is known as sacralization, the development of theological and religious beliefs to serve the interest of a particular ethnic or racial group.

Odunnu: Please, nobody should spoil my day o.
@Seun, please if you can, track him.
This has already started affecting me badly

Dunno let this affect you dear.... just tryna help everybody you meet out there (only when u're opportuned). Life is unfair, we should just hope we are found in the fairer side of life when adversities come...
Get some wine (apple juice also sounds good) and tune in to your favorite channel, slot in your fav. dvd or pick up your fav. novel... This life doesnt worth killing ourselves on, we help when we are opportuned... it's not like you have any power to change this...
A short prayer might also help if you believe in it sha..
Take care.

REALITY101: I think she's in a smoother position to blackmail him which is another reason he gotta be careful. Bn a Nigerian into some FG deal "probably contracts both clean and shady" he gotta have lots of roaches in his closet which this btch of a lady knows about. Don't you think?

you are very right..,
but even if she is, i'm the OP must have a planB... if not...
hmmm.....
What i still believe is for the OP to 'restart' an overly friendship. It will be very hard if she's furious

Hmm...
Thanks guys, hope it helps the poster...

i just hope it's not too late

Egba girl: wait what? are you some sort of dietician/nutritionist? or did you get this from google? Just curious though.

oh... i'm none of the above buh probably a guy trying to impress a lady
i guess it's working

@OP
i'm sure i can imagine what's going on right now but it's just a shock...
you must know that your next step from now on will affect many people, even generations to come (by this i mean that, if you quit the relationship the lady will be forever dejected and may not live up to 10 years again, the lady's family will be thrown in disarray and anyone that knows of your story will tell it to their children not to help anybody)

Oh... my friend, i'm sorry to tell you the truth... you are really INDEBTED, you just went to the priest to console you. calculate everything you've gained up till now from that family and also calculate how what you've gained has helped other people....
i think the lady's parents have been investing in you for this sole purpose and imagine a business you've invested in for over 20yrs to just crumble... what will happen are these...

1. If they are going down, my friend... you are going down to

2. your siblings who have benefitted from the good tidings may decide to leave you for the lady's family..

3. and oh..., if the lady dies, her mum might follow and the dad might later go with stroke and/ or heart attack...

i'm sure you know that fallasy they call action and reaction, it will practically show itself as reality if you make a single error in judgement..

and... you dont even know how many years you have left, you may even die before the sick lady, why not spend your quality time in loving her, you can save her and many other people that will benefit from her being alive...
what's the essence of life if not to help people, isnt that y you opted for surgery...
If i were you i will believe it's a cross i have to carry... if you even break up with her...
YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE WITH THAT GUILT AND KNOWING THAT YOU CAUSE (EVEN IF NOT YOU) EVERY MISHAP IN THAT FAMILY...
please rethink, many many people will benefit from your story or curse at the stance of your story...
Goodluck!!!

aguiyi: to the jokes section pls
