For me, a Jeep will do! To help solve the problems of bad roads and flood in Lagos .

Online dating for me is just for the fun of it. 100% of the information I give about myself are all lies , don't even give out my real names, tell you it is that bad. I don't expect the other party to be honest with me either, common we are total strangers. I am sure there are millions of "me" out there,So if you are online dating, have it at the back of your head that the person might not be completely honest with you; else you get carried away and start thinking marriage.

Well said everybody, now time to put words into action  !

My opinion is that since you are providing a service and a competitive one at that, it would be much easier for people to know what the service is all about at a glance and one way is from the name. A word like "propre" raises a lot of questions like what does it mean? is it an English word?so what is the service all about ? etc. But when you say cooltalk, Nextcall, Alltalk etc you do not need a soothsayer to tell you it has to do with telecoms, just like I would be dazed if you tell me otherwise. It is all about branding.

Hey guys, Ten contestants made up of six men and four women have emerged for the competition scheduled to take place between May 14 and June 4. AIT, STV, NTA and African magic channel on DSTV are expected to broadcast the reality show.

I didn't enjoy the first show, as a matter of fact, I call it "bush brother Nigeria" , hope this is not a part 2.

Did you guys catch the news about this on TV last night? It rained again in Lagos this morning. I don't want to think about what the situation is now, won't even go anywhere near the Bar beach today.

I definitely think swear words shouldn't be used in a public forum like this and should be edited if used. Even on radio and  TV you hear a beep anytime a swear word is used, that is a form of editing. There is no reason why it shouldn't be done on this forum. Moreso rules are there to guide and instill discipline in us, what is so difficult about keeping to these set rules? I mean it is not like Seun is asking for an arm and a leg. No swear words period.

I came accross this terrible traffic driving along the Ahmadu Bello way but this phenomenon isn't new, there is always traffic on the Lagos roads especially when it rains. No proper drainage, the roads are always flooded.

On approaching the Bar Beach end of the road, I noticed there was a diversion. People were entering the other lane, on a goad day the traffic regulations officers aka Lastma would have stopped you and make you pay a fine or better still impound your vehicle. But today that wasn't the case.

It wasn't until I got to the point of diversion that I noticed what the obstruction was. The Bar beach had overflown its bank again and the road was flooded, debris washed ashore covered the roads. It was a no go area for cars, some cars were already stuck in the flood.

The government spends a lot of money each year trying to solve this problem. I couldn't help but ask myself these questions. Is this a helpless situation? Is the government going to continue spending money each year on this futile project? What is the way forward for companies that are located in this area? I need answers.

It is difficult to tell if Nigerians are romantic or not because they do not show it in public. Let's start from the top, have you ever seen Obansanjo and Stella exchange kisses or locked in a warm embrace in public? Perhaps in the privacy of his home , he shows his wife a trick or two about romance . I think the reason for Nigerians lack of show of affection for their spouses in public is because it is not our culture. I remember in the olden days' igbo land for example wifes call their husbands [I]"Nna yin"[/I] meaning 'my Lord' or 'my master' .But in contemporary times, "honey", "darling" and "sweetheart" has replaced that.

Another factor why it will look like Nigerians are not romantic is the economic mishap in our country. Who could bother about romance when you are thinking where the next meal will come from or how you have to wake up as early as 5am in order to beat traffic.

To show how romantic you  are sometimes involves spending money,oh it's your anniversary,it's Valentine's day etc you want to get your spouse a flower, a rose flower cost N 10,000. You need to take him/her to a candlelite dinner, considering your pocket, maybe not. All these can make a man/woman happy but it cost money.
I remember this joke that says a Nigerian man would only open the door to his car for his wife only if the door is bad i.e she finds it difficult opening it herself .

Finally, some men/women are not just romantic, culture or no culture, money or no money. They just don't have it!

Hey guys,

What are your opinions on this topic. Many of my male friends thinks that the need of a woman is too much, they need to buy cosmetics, change their wardrope, spa, salon etc etc, the list is endless . Guys are afraid that their account will run dry fast if they allow their wives easy access to their bank account. What does that mean that we females cannot not be prudent? I don't quite agree with them.

So what do you guys think, should a husband and wife operate a joint account? Remember one will definitely earn more then the other, what damage if any can this action cause?

The 'big guy' has been granted bail.  I didn't think he would scale through, with the stringent bail conditions given him by the judge.  I am dying to know who his surelties are.

Sorry Seun, I don't quite agree with you on that. We probably  do not need people who have been corrupted by the system, someone who is God-fearing and is ready to give selfless service to Nigerians, is what we need! So many people know this, and would have voted for him but for corruption in the form of rigging made it impossible for the " Fresh choice" Pastor Chris Okotie to achieve his ambition. Now he is back again, God told him he would be the next president of this great country .

I hope you enjoy reading this, it's a bit long but funny. Please enjoy.

Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is your captain (Boniface) welcoming you on board of Nigeria Airways. We apologize for the four-day delay in taking off, it was due to bad weather and some overtime I had to put in at the bakery. This is flight 126 to Lagos. Landing in Lagos is not guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere in the south. If luck is in our favor, we may even be landing on your village!

Nigeria Airways has an excellent safety-record. In fact our safety standards are so high that even terrorists are afraid to fly with us!
It is with great pleasure; I announce that since starting this year over 50% of our passengers have reached their destination. If our engines are too noisy for you, on passenger request, we can arrange to turn them off!

To make your free fall to earth pleasant and memorable, we serve complimentary Bongo tea and Okin biscuits! For our not-so-religious passengers, we are the only airline who can help you find out if there really is a God!

We regret to inform you, that today’s in-flight movie will not be shown as we forgot to record it from the television. But for our movie buffs, we will be flying right next to Al Barka, where their movie will be visible from the right side of the cabin window.

There is no smoking allowed in this plane. Any smoke you see in the cabin is only the early warning system on the engines telling us to slow down! In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as possible for the best view. If, however, we go a little too close, do let us know. Our enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies right through the landmark!

Kindly be seated, keep your seat in an upright position for take-off and fasten your seatbelt. For those of you who can’t find a seatbelt, kindly fasten your own belt to the arm of your seat …and for those of you who can’t find a seat, do not hesitate to get in touch with a stewardess who will explain how to fasten yourself to your suitcase."
Enjoy Nigeria Airways

I don't understand why both sexes should partake in this competition. Shouldn't they have organised separate competitions, one for females only and the other for males?

This is a test of physical fitness, and similar competitions like athletics( running, football and even swimming, both sexes have never been made to compete against eachother. The organisers should have a rethink, only then will I partake .

Sorry what I posted earlier was a little off-topic,We are talking schools attended okay.

Hopebay college Lagos
Marymount College Agbor
Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka( not Ife )

Femi the Ife thing was a joke, I happen to know someone who knows you and he asked me to play a little prank on you. Anyway Congratulations on your new..........................(you know what I mean).

In every home, there is a "Doctor in the House", you know the one that you tell 'oh I have a headache' and he/she goes 'why not take Panadol'. In my house my mum is the Doctor in the House. When I was in the boarding school as part of my provisions, I had drugs (with prescriptions) for different ailments (stomach ache, headache, fever, etc.) Enough to start up a Pharmacy store courtesy of my mum.

Who needs a doctor when there is one in the house, saves cost as you don't have to pay for consultation . Just kidding remember what they always say," if symptoms persist after three days consult your doctor".

So who is the Doctor in your house?

Femi hi, I remember you from ife but I am sure you dont remember  me. You must really be a homesbody, everything ife,ife, Thank God you are out of that sad boring place now. Any way back in the day, I really thought you were cute, are you still cute 

Other ways to cope with stress include:

1.Regular exercise: Yes, we should find time to incorporate exercise into our busy schedule. Some people are of the notion that only over-weight people need exercise, this is wrong. Regular exercise makes you keep fit and believe me reduces your chances of having High blood pressure.

2. Massage: This is used to relieve pain, a good massage helps to release accumulated tension.

3. Meditation: This is used to induce physical and mental relaxation by creating a peaceful state of mind. You can take two hours of doing absolutely 'nothing' just relax and let your mind drift as much as it wants over happy memories.

4. Breathing: Exhalation and inhalation also helps to calm your nerves.

I don't really fancy Nigerian comedies, the actors and actresses try their best to make us laugh but I am usually not amused. As a matter of fact, papa Ajasco and company only makes me mad, 'Fuji House of comotion', yeah they try!. But I remember very well, in the olden days there was 'Sura the tailor' 'Ojo ladipo theatre group', 'Jaguar' 'Oga Bello,papiluwe and co' 'second chance'. Those were rib breaking comedies. I don't know what is happening now, are people no longer creative?

American Comedies, I definitely enjoy anytime, comedies like 'Friends', 'Dharma and Greg,' 'Martins',' Malcom in the middle', 'Living Single', I could go on and on and on.

Sorry, I don't watch[b]" who wants to be a Millionaire" [/b] TV show but I have a friend who has actually participated. He won 0.15% of a million Naira . He said it was fun but stressful; was at the studio for 8.00am and didn't leave until 3.00pm.

Do you know that today is world Health day. Well it is a day set aside for people worldworld to look into health related issues affecting them. This year Nigeria is focusing on health issues affecting Women and Children, how thoughtful!

So what are these health issues, I can identify Polio, measles and Diphtheria ( AKA The three- killer diesease) for children. Then there is VVF and breast cancer for women.

What other diseases are there?

@ Angelgirl and Shallar 1. When it first got to the market, it sold for between N10K and N15K, but now I hear it is sold for between 5K and 7K. I must one you though the cable stations are sometimes scrambled i.e they somtimes withhold some stations, just to make us subscribe, Channels that are always clear are Channel O, Discovery Channel, all Nigerian cable tv, cartoon network.

I don't know if it will work in Ogun state but don't see any reason why it shouldn't.

That's a very interesting routine Seun, but I think you might want to use a low alcohol-based face cleanser for your pimple.

Me next! my daily beauty routine is a very simple one. I love to pamper my skin and as such I take very good care of it.

1.  I start by applying a facial scrub, which helps remove impurities- dirt, sebum etc.
2.  I take a bath using the local soap, you see I have a very beautiful and clear skin and would like to keep it that way, so I am very careful not to expose my skin to soaps and creams that would leave my skin dry and unevenly toned.
3.  Next, I apply a mild cream on my body.
4.  Make-up time, I like to apply light make-up to work, so I only powder my face, apply eye-pencil on my brow and eye shadow faintly, then lipstick.
6.  Comb my hair, arrange my braids as the case may be.
7.  Evening, facial srub to remove make-up etc, so that my skin can breathe again! then I take my bath before going to bed. I don't use night creams.

My secret is, I stick with my routine for maximum results.

diakim:
Very funny.  I guess that, because you are a guy, you don't really care huh?

Stress: the No 1 mental and physical drainer.Stress brings insomnia (difficulty in getting to sleep, getting up in the middle of the night, or having disturbed sleep).
[color=Blue]Here are some tips to help you sleep:[/color]
1. Go to sleep when you are tired not necessarily when it is the usual time for bed.
2. If you cannot sleep, take a walk in your neighbourhood (that is if its safe, okay?), or read a book, get fresh air in your backyard.
3. Do gentle muscle-stretching  exercises in your bedroom.
4. Do not go to bed with a grudge. Sort out what needs sorting out and make peace with your friends, partner, children as the case may be.( tough one huh?).
5. Avoid over loading your stomach just before going to bed, eat meals early and choose what you eat wisely. proteins make better bedtime foods than carbohydrates.
6. Have a cold shower before going to bed.

These are just some tips, please feel free to add some more tips on the subject I.e coping with stress

Sure, I use one at home. I get cable stations like CNN, channel O, MTV base, skysports and movies, discovery channel and some others. Nigerian cable TV.

Is it the Kush trio of Lara, Amen and one other name I can't remember now? Nigerian Gospel artiste? If yes, I kinda love their music too. They are very good and, now that you've mentioned it, I haven't heard anything about them in a while. Hope they do not have problems singing as a group, because most Nigerian's group artistes I know are seperated: you know, members going solo. Examples are the Remedies, Plantashun boyz, etc.

First of all the answer to the question is , it is wrong for a lady to date a married man and nothing justifies that action. Alrightie! The golden rule states" Do unto others what you want them to do to you" with that I say, let's judge ourselves okay! would you be happy if some woman is dating your husband?
