i'm pretty good at reading people too but usually just their moods etc
It creeped me out one day when she said a bunch of stuff about me that i never told her. she even suggested to me what careers will fit my personality etc
she's sooo good at it.
she knows a lot about people just by looking and observing them.

listens to rock music

well that sucks.
better luck to the flying eagles next time.

TayoD:
@WesleyanA,
That is so right. There are many people out there with an agenda and they just keep feeding the resut of us with bullshit. I wish those who keep holding on to these propaganda will also learn to take the information they get usually from their "Inbox" with a grain of salt as well.

i agree with you.
i get tired of the same company buying like 3 different broadcast stations leaving us with limited alternative perspectives to consider etc.
just because they say xyz doesn't mean that xyz is the truth.

pics please.
who are these people?
i think i know azeezat though.

castro

who was the 5th president of Nigeria?

a child knows that it's fun to be a child

i'm sorry about your innocence being stripped away, a la your last line from your "make sense" post.

yeah, i agree with bouncing.

if assuming agbada was the traditional wear of the europeans, and suit was the traditional wear of the africans,
which attire would be considered "formal." yeah you guessed it. agbada will be more "intelligent" and "proper"

We don't wear babarigas to formal dinners in the States,we don't wear them to our commencements (graduation),.

well, for the record, i (like TOH's family) wore a native dress to MY graduation and i can recall a few people who did who weren't even born in Africa (2nd generation africans).
it's all about choice. I like it, i wear it. esp if there's no official dress code about the event.

davidylan, when I say "see brown goat",
you say "No! Na goat wey brown"

Oya, SEE BROWN GOAT.

orueh!

lmao
very accurate description of monsieur davidylan.

anyone seen loose change? I know you have to take everything with a grain of salt and i don't completely accept everything as fact but it makes you wonder about some stuff.

salsera:
this is jst beautiful



@divadarlin

wow ----shoulderlength


maybe its in the genes

i love my natural hair but i don't know if it'll get to shoulder length

pics please

you can't really know the length of your natural hair unless you straighten or stretch it.
mine goes a little past my shoulder when i stretch the back but i haven't straightened my entire head of hair yet to see. I've never trimmed it though 'cause i don't want it uneven and even though my ends are pretty healthy, they feel dry compared to the rest.

anyone know any tips on how to trim natural hair?

I have a friend with midback length hair (she'll usually use hotcomb to straighten it and it goes to the middle of her back). she's actually one of my inspirations but she recently relaxed it and now her hair is thinning and falling. The other girl i knew had pretty healthy and long hair too until months after the first relaxer.

I always get jealous when i see the little girls who haven't gotten their first relaxers yet with realllllly big,long, healthy natural hair. i usually pray that their moms leave the beautiful hair alone. but then again, it's usually the girls that beg for the relaxer when they reach a certain age 'cause they want straight hair. lol some of them have very pretty relaxed hair too.

salsera, how long have you had your hair natural? you'll be at shoulder length in no time. don't fret.

mr ferlie's dad.

who is the governor of Lagos state?

on a more serious note osisi has said it all. We are fast allowing the western world dictate the way we live our lives. i remember the good old days when my best friends and i would hug each other warmly especially if we just met up again after a long holiday. the handshakes, the occassional innocent physical gestures. I remember boys sleeping together on tiny bunk beds hugging the blankets to each other to keep warm on a cold night.
Today that innocence is gradually being stripped away by those who have chosen to live their lives the way even animals would be ashamed of.

davidylan finally making some sense. applause

candy. and i'm having way too much of it right now. I can actually feel the sugar in my blood.

not every girl you see on the streets go about holding hands with their friends or putting their arms around each other either.

there are those who do it among the girls and among the guys.

what's wrong with wearing native wear to an INTERNATIONAL gathering.
it's an international gathering not a british or american gathering. what's wrong with representing your respective country?

if your country disgraces you so, burn your passport and get citizenship with some other country. simple as that.


I personally dig that native wear on our president.
he looks original and very presentable.


@Thief of Hearts, that's sweet of your sister. i wore my native to my 8 grade graduation too. a lot of people complimented me for it 'cause i stood out. not to mention that my dress was banging


steals pilgrim's pic
the guy with the blue turban is also representing his country.

lol. nairaland through the generations

seems like we've had this argument before. haha
anyways, i've seen boys who put their arms around each other in Nigeria and are very close with their friends unlike here in the states.
not all the boys do that, but those who do don't receive any dirty looks or the likes. it just seemed natural.


fact remains.
I have a friend from pakistan and i've seen his pics of him and his friends way back from when he was still in his country.
those pics will be considered gay to his american mates.

culture.
it' like that in many other countries too.
in the middle east, like stranger said, they hug and kiss each other on the cheeks as a form of greeting.
when i was in Nigeria, boys didn't have any problems being close with their friends, showing some of their emotions, holding hands etc i don't know how things have changed.


It's only in the US (and maybe a few other countries) that stuff like this is looked down upon. boys can't cry, compliment each other or show any form of emotion whatsoever. otherwise, they risk being called pu**y, weak, gay etc. I think it's ridiculous.

cultural differences.

or you can also hide under braid or regular extensions while you grow out your natural hair (i did this 'cause i was in high school and wasn't brave enough to wear my natural hair just yet)
as soon as my hair reached 6 inches, i started wearing it out natural more often.

going natural was easier than i thought too. esp if you transition.

yeah conditioning is also really important.

you can do it. i'm sure!!!!!!
even if you decide that you might relax it later on, just give it a try. lol

PTBNaija:
You know they are only looking out for your best interest.

yeah i agree. lol
