I've never lied before!

Thank God for your life. He is the God that gives and takes away, thank God for preserving you, and welcome back!

sounds interesting,

Hmm, interesting topic. I guess for me it would be pounded yam with efo riro and Tilapia.

So did anyone actually figure out the answer?

I loved Checkmate too. I remember Village Headmaster and Behind the Clouds. I really loved Behind the Clouds. I still remember the song from the program. Was sad for a long time about Nosa dying so young though. He was a fine actor.

Does anyone know any Nigerian wedding invitation companies that make breathtaking, out-of-this-world wedding invites. Please post their details here for me, thank you.

If one stick to his native language the most educated once especially will take the person as an illiterate, so many decides stick to English as if it's his/her native language just to belong to the class.

I think that's sad. Yes, sure, if someone wants to be a part of the so-called class system, I think they should go for it but their quest for acceptance should not be at the peril of their native tongue or even more, to the detriment of future generations? That would be totally ignorant, and even selfish some. I know people who wished they had taught their children how to speak their language now that the kids are grown and can't even understand 'hello' in their parent's language. In fact, other nationalities are so proud of their languages and would happily speak it to their children. Think Chinese, Somali, Indian, French, Italian etc,

Mo bere ni to ri pe awon kan wa ti won fe so ede won ni ajo
I ask because there are some people that do not want to speak their language in a strange man's land.

Everyone has their reasons but the way I see it is this. I see chinese people speak their language fluently, even their kids speak. Indians nko, na same situation. But some Nigerians I have seen sometimes only speak English and speak English to their children, I just think that we shouldn't let the languages of Nigeria become endangered, so to speak, when the next generation may not even know how to speak it, I am proudly Nigerian and love the fact that we all can speak the Yoruba language even though we live outside of Nigeria.

I forgot to add. I attended a conference today that shed light on the situation. Comment pls, thanks

Ha, so many comments and viewpoints. For those that think lust is ok in marriage, how can it be when it is selfish? I mean, love thinks about the other person but lust thinks only about self-gratification. How can you explain that?
Even Wikipedia describes lust as: "any intense desire or craving for self gratification and excitement."

how can nigerian guys b romantic when nigerian babes don't evn know what being romantic means.

tell a nigerian girl, "i love you" and she will ask you "na love i go chop"

Haba, Naija girls know what being romantic is all about. At least the ones I know,

I know lust outside of marriage is a sin but what about lust in a marriage, is that a sin too?

Even in Naija, wonders will never end! I thought that kind rubbish happen only for abroad.

If you're grounded in your faith, then go right ahead. It helps to gain knowledge of the Quran to help with evangelising and stuff. That's what I think sha.

Am I missing something? I searched the forum before posting and didn't find a similar thread,

A YEMENI court has granted a divorce to an eight-year-old girl whose unemployed father forced her into an arranged marriage.

"I am happy that I am divorced now. I will be able to go back to school,'' Nojud Mohammed Ali said, after a public hearing in Sanaa's court of first instance.

At least this proves that there's hope for all those women and child brides forced into a marriage they don't want,

I heard some girls talking about how most of their boyfriends can't even spell romance talk less of being romantic. So I thought I'd ask what you all think. The statement is: Nigerian guys are not romantic at all. Do you think this is true? Share your thoughts please.

Do you actively use a Nigerian language in your everyday lives? Are you proud of the fact that you can speak a Nigerian language or do you prefer English? What do you think of people who can't speak their native tongue? Or people who live abroad and who don't speak their language to their children? Or even Nigerians in Nigeria who have children that only understand English? Do you think people shun their native languages, because English is a more "cultured" or "sophisticated" language?

Jer 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I don't think he has to marry her because they have a child together, unless he has clearly heard from God that she is his wife. He needs to make sure though that he sticks around, to be a father to the baby.

You are Alpha and Omega
I worship you our Lord
You are worthy to be praised

I give you all the glory
I worship you our Lord
You are worthy to be praised

Seeing Jesus.

May God deliver us from such people! Are you are a masochist that you must continually associate with such a person?

No, I am not a masochist oh! We are all human afterall, we wrong people and people wrong us. Yes to err is human and to forgive is divine and since it's not easy to forgive and forget, it does take the bigger person to do that, I thought I'd ask about what people think about things they may never forgive people for. It would have to be really really bad, like terribly bad for me to not forgive. In fact, I don't think I even have a right not to forgive anyone afterall others have forgiven me for my errors and even the almighty forgives willingly.

You discover your partner is a compulsive liar, and has been cheating - can you forgive and forget?

Your partner physically/emotionally abuses you can you give him/her a second chance?

You find out that the person you have been dating is a convicted felon - can you forgive him/her for not telling you (lying through omission)?

Can you give a second chance to someone in your life who abuses drugs and alcohol - or who gambles?

What about someone who is clumsy and keeps breaking stuff in your home - or someone who claims they are good at fixing things and makes matters worse?

What kinds of things can you forgive and forget? When would you never give someone a second chance?

For the record, i do not buy pirated CD's. It is so wrong. I know people will tell me to siddon jare, but how would you like it if people stole from you? That's what piracy is,

She can find out from people she knows who are attending the wedding. Bottom line is, the bride gave her aso ebi, that's an invite.

So I get a recorded delivery from the office for house today saying I have to come to a meeting with my boss next week to discuss 'restructuring' in the team and I am 'allowed to bring representative'. When they put it like that, a sista starts to panic!

I am sorry about this your dilemna BUT please, don't think twice about it, end things now. Yes, you will be in pain, you will feel a lot of pain when you break things off but the pain you feel is 100% better than putting your future children through sickle cell aneamia. I know people who have it and it's no joke at all. Please for the sake of all that is good in the world, end it and find someone else (AA) to marry. Your future kids will thank you for it!
