One common thing though is that mermaids are mostly presented as white chicks

Another one

Take a look

Onye si na ihe na ato uto, okwue ihe ona ato ka ya
He who says something is sweet, must also say what it tastes like

Ihe dara n'ala eburu ra aja
Whatever falls on the ground is already dirty

Mammy water - a legendary sea creature having the head and upper body of a woman and the tail of a fish.

You want to know if they exist? well . . .

_{~~ I am heading to the indain ocean right away and will be back with some news ~~}

Onye ji mmadu n'ala ji onwe ya
He hold someone down is also down himself

Onweghi onye ma ebe mmiri siri ba na opi ugboghuru
Nobody knows where water entered the stem of pumkin leave _{hope I got this one correct}

I also can't believe that you could go for that long, where have you been?  

I missed you though, but trust me on this one, you ain't gonna whip no ass here cos I'm the don around here  

Ebe ana akuzuri nwa amadi ihe ka nwa ohu na amuta ihe
The slave learns where the prince is being taught

Ana egbochi idei, ona awa
As you try to control the rampaging flood, it willcontinue to cut the ground open

Nothing compares to Faze!

If Timi had lost the finals, I wouldn't have survived it. That's how fanatically fan of Timi I am.

Timi for life!!!!!!

Timi all da way!!!!

@marlet01

I just called his attention to your post, but he accused you of not being sure of how best you want to die. Because according to him "you want to die in bed like moses". Moses died on top a mountain. or was a bed there? _{*no hard feelings also*}

Who says nothing will happen on May 29?

Something will surely happen. It is the day the spoils of war do or die loot will be shared among the Vagabounds in Power.

They will come to the venue so prepared, armed to the teeth and eye blood shut. The self accailmed "leader of modern Nigeria" will be presiding.

Woobetide anyone dares to cross their path, they will shoot and asked no questions later.  This is will be more than enough to happen in one day.

My friend in the office told me that the best way he wants to die is to be hit with a nuclear bomb while asleep. After having sex with the most beautiful woman in the world. :-

Nkita tara okpukpu ayawara ya n'olu, osiri ka anyi juo onye?
The dog that ate the bone that was hung on his neck, who does it want to ask?

Nkita n'ile na eri nsi, mana obu nke risia bulu na onu akpoya ori nsi
Every dog is a potential shit eater, but whichever one that has shit on his mouth after eating is called a shit eater

Cute-ass biko ana m ario gi ka iroghachi azu na this thread

I've thought this over extensively and I think that the best way to die would be to have a stroke in your sleep in the prime of your life. Maybe around 60 or 70.

Just have it come completely unexpectedly and without warning. There would be no pain and no worries. That way you would enjoy all of it and not have to experience the steady decay of your body and mind as you get older.

Please, this just my own thoughts, you may let us share your own idea of an ideal death.

I live in Abuja but my heart is always in Enugu

Waoooo!!!

It might be almost 10 days belated birthday wishm, but trust me you deserve all the good wishes that are coming your way.

Happy belated birthday!!!

viee nwayi oma

Backslider:
@youngies


Nadeco never and will never force IBB to step down get your facts right.

my dad said that it was the military boys that put pressure on him, he did not want to go. Nadeco for where ? This army guys will use your heads for Shooting practice.

@Backslider

Perharps you are too young then, that you are relying on what your dad told you. But don't forget the fact that some of us were on ground and actually participated in the eventual sacking of IBB's evil regime.

IBB was very well in-charge of the military and fully in control of the military boys, but that cannot be said of the masses of the Nigerian people whose course were being championed by NADECO and other Pro democarcy groups.

Always try to get your facts right before quoting "my dad, my dad", better still just google NADECO and see what comes up; you might take a second look at whatever your dad is spoonfeeding you.

Merci.
