NFBI:
Rihanna used to be dark

In your dreams.

Wainey:
Wait? How come Rihanna is white?
Wasn't she supposed to be black?

Her dad is biracial and she has always been light skin.

Tallesty1:
The day she was proposed to, she was happy, and friends congratulated her because something was achieved.

Words do not change their meanings to accommodate our individual opinions. Though the message conveyed may vary depending on the context, but not in this instance.

Building a house is an achievement. If the house later collapses on the owner and kills him, it doesn't change the fact that building it was an achievement. Gaining admission to study your chosen course at your favorite university is an achievement; failing miserably or even dropping out doesn't change that. Once you plan something and finally get it done, an achievement is made.

Marriage must not be successful before it becomes an achievement; marrying is an achievement, and having a successful marriage is another achievement.

Peace.

Same way losing one's virginity is an achievement since sex makes one happy.

My uncle is 48 and still unmarried and I want to use this medium to find him a wife from nairaland. A pretty girl that is hardworking and has good character. Age 25-30 yrs old.

Your uncle is an evening paper and still looking for girls young enough to be his daughters. He should rest.

DyingFetus:
Men age differently


A man can be in his 80s and still be getting laid wbut a woman at 80s obviously can't and has reached meno

Menopause is not a disease and using it to insult women is shallow. Florence Ita Giwa is over 80 and still getting hit by men. So, rest.

The term evening Newspaper is used to describe a woman who has passed her reproductive prime. Most people know that Newspapers are sold in the morning when the news is still fresh/recent and hence any news you are hearing of in the evening is usually stale and has little to no value.

That being said, we should agree that there are certain stages in life that ensures things are done properly (Although this is not a rule).

It is usually difficult/impossible to find a 30 year old man/woman as a pupil in primary school because he/ she has passed the age to still ve in school.

The example above shows why older unmarried woman are referred to as Evening Newspaper. We all agree that a woman is mostly fertile between the ages of 18-35yrs ( Although some women can still give birth much later in life).

This is why men usually prefer younger women and they refer to older unmarried women as evening newspapers because they have little or no reproductive value when compared to younger women.

Although the paradox of life and death does not work in the theory of first come - first serve, it is important you do things in life at a time nature has made perfect(This does not mean it may not work out at other times though).

So a single lady should try to vet the man she wants to marry on his character and not on his finance.

Marry at "natures best time", raise your children on time to avoid being offended when society refer to you as Evening Newspaper.

If you read this with an open mind devoid of sentiment, you will know I'm telling the truth. I'm always on the side of truth.

Shalom

You are entitled to your opinion but let me hammer on what you have written. Why must a woman marry at nature's best time if she can't find a compatible partner? In other words, you are trying to push women into a bad marriage because you feel it is the most important feat in a woman's life. If you think it is, then what makes it so?

If women prioritise finance over character, then it is because most broke men pretend to be good. As soon as a broke man hits the jackpot, his wild side becomes visible. So, why should a woman compromise her preferences just to please the society?

I am not trying to hold brief for women, but the society should let them breathe. Not everyone will get married and being single doesn't make anyone worthless.

Like I always tell people, getting married is one of the easiest things to do, but what happens after is the most challenging part.

Most women are still single because they are yet to find their kind of man. And I can boldly tell you that if those women end up single, heavens won't fall. Do you know why, because marriage, life and everything else in this world is ephemeral and it is only shallow minded people that will place much value on it.

I know two siblings that passed on. One was married with kids and the second wasn't. Some shallow minded people still think that the married one was better off, but they are yet to prove why? If leaving behind kids that others will be saddled with the responsibility makes her better off in death, then it's no brainer why the African continent will continue to be a 10th world country.

This Jnr Pope has different faces. I can't seem to picture his face mentally. As for Emoney....Well, nice gesture. But I hope you know that the future is not certain. And I hope you don't end up exploiting the situation to your advantage.

Justiceganduje:
Women are just like a commodity that can be purchased anyhow with money. They are not worth anything. Men are the price. Just have money and do anyhow you want with women.

In other words, men are fools. If not, then why would a sane person waste money on something that isn't valuable?

Pastor Enenche was too hasty in his judgement. I am not surprised though as most pastors are usually very rude.

At his age, he has started manipulating you already. Continue.

I didn't watch the video. But I don't think they were crying because daddy died, but probably because daddy promised to get them chocolates and hasn't fulfilled his promise yet.

On a different note, it's so disheartening to hear about the death of a loved one on Social Media. With the way Nigerians were circulating that video where he lay on the ground motionless, it will be difficult for his family members to erase that memory. It was such a pathetic death!

The last time I wanted to buy, I checked about 3 pharmacies and it wasn't in stock.

Sapasenator:
I take it as a sign of laziness, as in, not able to put in required efforts to take care of one's hair to look beautiful. I can forgive you if you are a lady abroad as it might be quite expensive to make the African hair over here, you have no excuse in Nigeria where it's very cheap to make good hair.

Me, I cut my hair every Friday and apply all the conditioners and hair treatments to make it look beautiful.
I go for manicure and pedicures one in a month as a guy, I also go for monthly full body massage.

It means for a guy, you take personal grooming seriously. That is commendable!

You want to sell your gas, mattress, cooking utensils and TV so you can relocate to the UK? Continue....

I don't like it when women are on low cut. This is why whenever I see any girl (whether big or small) who used to make her hair, but suddenly decide to wear a short hair, I take it personally.

She wouldn't be saying this if her dad were a modern day pastor like we have now.

I agree with her on this. But you cannot tell an entrepreneur how to invest his/her money. Most wannabe actresses that couldn't find their bearing as actors ended up as producers and are doing well for themselves.

Uche Jumbo comes to mind. As an actress, she struggled for years and became popular after she ventured into movie production and started acting in her production. Same with Funke Akindele and a host of others. So, if you have the funds, no one can stop you from producing your own movie.

And as for producing low budget films, even in Hollywood, they have indie producers who only produce very low budget movies.

Why were they in a haste to bury her? Besides, the funds realized from donations ( if well utilized) would have been enough to perform that useless rituals and also transport her corpse back to the village.

muyico:
Exactly he said d true! Yesterday morning my wife didnt allowed to touch her! She ran away! And asking me on phone i mine ok! Imagine?

Don't you ever get tired of having sex? Marriage doesn't give you a free license to have sex whenever you want. Know this and have peace.

Zonefree:
All these NBA dudes have ways of making anyone around them a dwarf.

See as Babe meji resemble upgraded Shatta Bandle.

Nah...Davido is just a short man like you.

I hear people live under water.

What about the make up artiste and the other young boy? Did they also reject the life jackets? If it's true that he was asking them if they were okay, then help probably didn't come their way on time.

If she was planning to relocate to the UK, it means things were not so bad for her.

He refused a life jacket because he needed to create content by informing his followers that he was taking a risk by crossing the River Niger without safety measures.

30 years in the industry for someone who was supposedly 39 years old. Continue.

Why do I find this funny? 'Quack Asaba Producer'. Lol.

ignis:
Congratulations to her... I feel she is too good and bright to be in the Nigeria military. I advise her to japa abroad where her talent and life will be valued most.

Read the post again. She is already in the UK.

GoldenJAT:
Na akamu de some people brain!! Yellow Akamu!

This is an insult to yellow akamu.

Biko, her kids need her. She should stay strong for them.

Difrent:
A fictional character in the mould of a white person. Abi did the story describe her as a black person?
So then Van Diesel or Roger Moore should have played lead role in black pantha instead of Bossman and we will call it "remake"

You seem the ignorant one here

If a production company decides to cast a white actor to play the role of black panther, then there is nothing wrong with that. For the fact that it's yet to happen, doesn't mean it will never happen. Stop being ignorant!

And besides the owner of the production company is a white man and the production is a stage play. So, why the fuss?

Bruisecruise:
They love setting Black people up for insult ehn.

No white production company would allow a movie of Idris Elba to pair with some hideous white girl whatever the story line may be.

It’s time Black people build and take complete ownership of their own EVERYTHING and stop ranting or complaining to get treated better in white spaces.

The owner of the production company is a white dude. It's even a stage play and not a movie.

sunsweet33:
There is nothing wrong with Juliet or any of the characters being black.

This is a work of Shakespeare that has been re-interpreted and performed a million times. As far as she was the best actress who auditioned, she earned her right to act the role.

By the way in the 1996 film adaptation starring Leonardo di Caprio and Claire Danes, Mercutio was played by a black man and his performance is still lauded as one of the best in history.

They just wanted to finish the girl over nothing.

Out of everyone that commented, you were the only one that said the most reasonable thing.
