An ode to the shoe-ter

I woke up this morning
With life a bit boring
Oh how deploring
Must find something doing

I've got the blues
Why? I've got no clue
But I'll take off my shoes
And throw 'em at Bush

Oh what a bliss
If I hadn't miss
As Bush showed some skill
His reflex perfect indeed

Now I am a Guest
In Maliki's inner cell
Can someone get me a pen
How did I get in this mess?!

lol
bush deserved both shoes and more though. The guy was brave. he's probably being tortured somewhere now if not dead already.

I'm surprised at the sympathetic closet republicans in here.

KarmaMod:

Gbegborun, your name be Wes?

figured it was in some village. why would you ever take a shortcut in the bush? You people no fear, apparently

I was young and fearless!!! , j/k. I don't like being late to school.

KarmaMod:

wtf where did you see ebo, Wes?

in Lagos. lol where else?
I see them often especially when i'm late to school and i take the shortcut which is basically a bush.

Ebony-Silk:

Have you ever had a stranger ask you if you want biscuit? lol

That happened to me. he was like "psssst, you want biscuit? Cabin biscuit" It was next to our shop then. I screamed my aunt's name

no but I saw dollars beside the road once but I walked really fast past it. there was a pot next to the dollars with palm oil and some white stuff (i think pounded yam or something like that). There is this chant that we say "ebo e le bo, pada lehin mi" and then snap over our heads three times. lol

davidylan:

Wes na wa for you . . . wetting the bed at 7yrs old.  

I didn't really wet my bed. Just other people's beds for some reason. I hated traveling with my mom or whoever as a young kid.

Ebony-Silk:

[/b]
rotflmaooooooooooooooooo!!!

Lol, I was raised up never to take food/money from people.

I shared my snacks with my friends sometimes so I didn't see the wrong in letting a friend share hers with me.
strangers on the other hand, no way!! haha

there was actually another girl that was accused a yr later when i was in pry 6. she was a housegirl and she supposedly confessed to her benefactor. the lady came to tell the school officials. she never came back to the school either
the rumour going around was that she had pointy ears so she must be a witch. I didn't personally know this girl but I can't really explain how I felt then. I wholeheartedly believed in witches and was sort of counting my blessings that I didn't know this pointy eared girl.

why did you open your eyes and marry a criminal to begin with. You say you've been bailing him out of prison and paying his fines, . . why then are you surprised that he's hitting you? I know love is blind but i don't think it's that blind.

what do you want us to say to you? pity you and tell you everything will be alright? I really don't know.
There is a common sense answer to your problem but common sense isn't common to everyone.

There was this girl in my primary school. She seem to come from a really rich family since she came to school everyday with at least 20 naira. To top it off, she is very generous she buys candy and biscuits for her friends and I made sure to walk home with her, since we follow the same path, so she can buy me icecream etc. One morning on the assembly line, the headmaster told us that a very unfortunate event has happened that we have found a witch in our midst. This same girl was brought to the front to the assembly, laid on a table and flogged mercilessly. apparently, her mother and brother have been complaining that at night she went to the witch world and it was hard to wake her up in the morning.
The worst part was that there was a rumor circulating that all the people she had bought food for will join her in the dark world. She will drag us there in our sleep.
I swear I fasted for almost three days after that and my parents thought I was sick. . I was so scared I was going to turn into a witch.

lol

That man that throw the shoe is a slowpoke. For all that George Bush did for iraq, he does not deserve that. he is lucky he can do that. Can he do that to Saddam. Saddam would behead him at the conference.

George Bush would go down in history as one of the greatest president that ever rule the USA. He took the best decision to invade Iraq. I would do the same to get rid of Saddam. Now Imagine how happy Nigerian would be if they can get rid of 2 years of guest who and 2 year blank future.


I just wish George Bush was bold enough to divided Nigeria.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. lol
but this is funny. esp. the last line. I'm just picturing some Nigerian (most likely hausa or yoruba) dude throwing slippers on Bush's face.

oh wow

I'm sure people like their cultures for various reasons. The most obvious one is that the culture is "theirs." duh! why won't you like your own culture? it's part of your identity. I do agree though that our cultures are chauvinistic and most African men LOVE that aspect of it because it favors them.

for proove, go to any thread with sexist topics ex. King of Swaziland and the Reed dance. Most of the men support the exploitation of the young girls paraded naked in front of the old king and call it part of "tradition." ie we should embrace our sexist culture as opposed to western less sexist cultures.
sexuality board has some similar topics as well (virginity, gender roles in marriage etc).

savanaha:

Well you can massage black scalp with natural black hair and its very relaxing.

yeah. you can also play with it. too many people touch/ play with my hair when I leave it out. apparently, "it's fun to play with" because you can do many things with it. but running fingers through it will be torturous IMO.

LRNZH:

I take this as a compliment
''A hard head makes a soft arse'' as they say
Infact I'm tryin' to increase my craniage
LOL

haha goodluck with that! 

KarmaMod:

Wes, you use extensions with your braids so you're not actually natural 

sometimes I do. but when I take it off, i'm natural. I currently don't have extensions. haven't had it since last year but will probably get some soon because they're cute  
I don't see extensions as a symbol of self hate but if someone places too much dependency on it/ wear it 24/7, then that's bad.
perms are ok as well but way too many people perm their hair. I wish more women were natural since I don't see natural women very often. but that's just my wishful thinking I guess

^{ps. I like your braids in your pic.}

onyinye2:


Like I give a damn about those stupid people who go natural. These are the same idiots who are so insecure with their identity that they feel they need to somehow "prove" to people that they are "Black" or "African". Like I give a damn if you are from Zimbabwe or dog gone Toronto.

Your "people who keep their hair natural are stupid and insecure" theory is very funny. I bet you're the kind that will perm and weave your child's hair right after the baby pops out of your stomach (yeah it's not uncommon to see less than 1 year old babies with perm to show how stupid some mothers are) since the word "natural" hurts your guts.
and I know we all do stupid things sometimes.  It's ok

Hair is hair. It dies off and it regrows no matter how much "healthier" you think it is. Olodos.

hair doesn't die. It is never a living property to begin with. But there is definitely such thing as "healthy" and "unhealthy hair" and you can tell from looking at it. do you need pics or what? I bet you don't wash your hair since you don't have a reason to keep it "healthy"
talk about Olodo.

yes hair is hair
the pointlessness of hair is what caused the French to place a ban on the use of hijab meant as a hair covering for muslim females. It's so pointless we should all shave it off and ban the use of the word "hair" from the dictionary as a matter of fact.
maybe then you'll be happy and the world will be a better place for you (ms. perm) and me (ms. natural).   

LRNZH:

Guys move with the times

I have dated an equal number of African and non Africans
and its cool

If you are not the 'touch' type
Your 'Machismo' is allowed but I think it's faulty
LOL

Well it's all about fixed hair right?

Mon noir ladies-fixed hair isn't as fancied
Enjoy

what we are trying to get through your thick skull is that you can't run your fingers through a black girls hair unless she has "fixed" it with a fresh perm (no natural undergrowth etc). so you are contradicting yourself.
on that note, I will advice you to stick with non-Africans.
some people fancy fixed hair, some don't. I personally am biased towards "unfixed" hair. but one man's meat is another man's poison.

tpia:

for your information:

running your fingers through a black woman's hair will not give you the same sensation as when you do it with a white woman.

why?

because the texture is not the same. Unless the hair is permed or a weave.

You can stroke black hair, but if you're getting touchy feely in the expectation of getting the same buzz you get from white hair, then you and your partner are setting yourselves up for disappointment. _{I stroke black hair. I don't run my fingers through it.}


as per oil- oil makes white hair greasy and slick, hence they don't use it as often as black hair. Glossy hair looks good on blacks. Not always so for whites.

Comparing apples and oranges in this manner isnt good for you, really.

if you need to touch hair all the time, then get a pet or volunteer at a stable. Your black partner [ if you've got one] can also oblige you by going natural, but everyone doesnt have to be the same.

LOL. the guy is confused.  

LRNZH:

LOL

If you understand the science of human touch,

running hands through a woman's hair for example is universal.

LMAO   I bet your black grandpa had fun running his hands through your black grandma's nappy hair back then when perms didn't really exist.
universal my nose
science of touch my neck

I'm confused. What class are the teachers teaching? are they nursery school teachers or primary school teachers?
who hired them? Who taught them in pry 4?
The number is so huge. what's the govt doing about this?

LRNZH:

Hi people

don't know why our ladies keep fixing all that stuff on their head (weave-on etc etc).
Fake hair is black woman's problem today.
I don't fancy it and I know a lot of folks who don't.
It's expensive, it can be a pain to get on and it looks fake

I have been with European ladies and their natural hair is attractive.

It would be nice to see our ladies with their natural hair too.


No mind me oyibo babes don tire me.  LOL


javascript:void(0);

If you find european hair attractive, why do you have problems with wigs and weaves? they're of the same texture (that's the reason black ladies wear weaves in the first place. so it can look european). lol
you're very confused

interesting topic

Canada is an extension of the USA. The American experience is the Canadian experience.

I personally don't see wigs, weaves and perms as symbols of self-hate but I think too many black females use and can't live without these stuff.  There will be a high rate of suicide among black females if wigs, weaves and perms were banned. lol. I can just imagine black girls jumping out of their windows thinking it's the end of the world.

The dependency is what I hate

KarmaMod:

If you have 1 drop of black blood in this country, you're black

DavidDylan:

President Mwai Kibaki of Kenya has just declared Wed 5th Nov a national public holiday in Kenya!

What a gross misplacement of priorities!

people worship Obama everywhere it's disturbing. . He is pretty much a demi-god for the liberals and a lot of ppl around the globe.
I support Obama but I don't think this kind of reception is good for him. It might be detrimental in the future since the ppl's expectations are WAY too high. I don't know what's going to happen next,

wow. who could have thought, HUGE history in the making
I hope President Obama lives up to our expectations.

PepERSprAY:

I suspect that Barack Obama is the antiChrist because he fits the profile. You know, the whole world will embrace him irrespective of religion,race and culture and all that. His profile in Europe and Asia is alarming. Just my thoughts sha and am afraid I may be right.

a friend of mine shares a similar sentiment. Only she doesn't use the word "anti-christ" she just compared him to someone I won't mention lol. she feels something is just not right.

I'm kind of superstitious but I try not to think about that. I really hope that his presidency is a successful one.

It's not even the nudity that is most disturbing.
there was a topic on here about Nigerian police harrasing and arresting women on the street for dressing inappropriately or half naked, and most thought the treatment was unjust .

KarmaMod:

People will come up with any kind of pathetic excuse to justify garbage

Lmao @ Huge Hefner.

Even his youngest girlfriend is 22. No one under 18 is allowed t the Playboy mansion. Hefner is not a fool.

Get your facts straight before you start using these people as lame examples.

bawomolo:

all playbunnies are over the age of 21 (they act stupid and young just for TV ratings) , american women are not culturally bound to spend a night in the playboy mansion. pimping may be glorified in the entertainment industry but every year, pimps are busted by the feds. u think bishop don juan and ice-t are still pimps??

Thank You!!!
why would you compare PlayBoy entertainment owner with the King of a Kingdom? Goes to show what kind of a King he is and why the stupid reed dance shouldn't be condoned.
yeah I live in the US and have never heard of Hefner actually. lol. you can tell I don't watch a lot of junk tv.

Negro_Ntns:

@POST,

I don't know where you live guy but there is a dude here in America by name Hugh Hefner. Mr Hefner does worse things to women, virgin or no virgin  than you describe here. Beside Hefner, there are numerous pimps. They are all celebrated and glorified for their accomplishments. Women love them, men adore them, rappers emulate their styles.

Now, what did you say the King did wrong?

First of all, I, as well as MILLIONS of other Americans have never heard of a "dude by name Hugh Hefner" or whatever this dude's name is. And i'm sure if the public knew of him, majority won't condone his behavior and like you said, he falls under the category of a "love-vendor." Pimps are glorified by street, ghetto, likewise immoral youths and individuals. No parent will send his/her daughter to go work as a prostitute for a love-vendor.

We are talking about a KING of a KINGDOM here. Your argument only makes sense if President Bush does worse things to women and is celebrated for it (rather than some obscure personality that no one knows or care about). Even Bill Clinton who was unfaithful to his sole wife went through hell for what he did.

so there, your argument doesn't hold.

Mr Hefner,  who's that again?  Your local bar owner?

Of course the King of Swaziland isn't doing anything "wrong" or unheard of (, as in breaking his country's laws, he's the KING).  That's like saying slavery is wrong in 1820. Of course most people didn't see anything wrong with Slavery back then. It was the progressive minds that saw the wrongs in it. And as we all know, the opposite of "progressive mind" is "backward mind." In other words, the Reed dance is out of date.

lol. I don't think it's necessary to ask him 'cause we came here together (by plane).
I'll like to hear your theory of how I got to America though i bet it would be interesting. lol

hey uche!! lol
