Obumneme:
My laptop seems not be connecting to the internet any more. One I initiate connection, it starts going and then hangs and brings out options to try again. What could be wrong. I use Starcomms dial-up. Thanks.

double check your settings

That is not the point, the point is the issue of generalisation.

when is not about generalazation

just answer it has it is

Ujuoan here you go again, i'm 110% Igbo and i don't know where u get the idea that all Igbo men are controlling, her dady doesn't like her bf cos he is a NIGERIAN, even b4 he met him, the dady had made up his mind that Nigerians can't be trusted, that is the point. Forget about his tribe, his been judged based on his nationality. You can't specticulate about his motive cos you don't know if he is genuine or not.

even if there are controlling would you agree when you are one of them ?

Mrs. Eve:
Some traditional villages practiced that and are practicing that,

You keep saying Nigeria, and I am not specifying the countries, only the villages,

girl you are hiding something

everything in life is linked direct to certain people i.e tribe nation etc

villages in which countries and with tribes in those countries

why cant point it to one certain country if not a tribe ?

Mrs. Eve:
Zimdrill,

Even if virginity was a big thing back in the olden days, the virgin were picked and bought by men who wanted virgins and after they are bought, these men can pretty much do whatever they want with teh women they bought as a wife, and may of them test to see if they are fertile and even if they married them before SAMPLING THEM, if they were without child, they were stepped all over,

was that a normal culture or tradition in nigerian or these started becoz of the slave trade ?

which tribe has that practise ?

Mrs. Eve:
Zimdrill,

In the old days, pre-sampling were encourage to see if the woman was fertile or not remember there were not fertility tests and technology to see if a woman can get pregnant or not,

There are less now because of the advanced technology and however in some villages pre-sampling are happening now,

is that what they used to do in nigeria?

where i came from in old days there was nothing like that hence that the reason why virginty was a big issue on marrying


did those peolple sample before getting married in those old days you are talking about

Mrs. Eve:
Zimdrill,

Crooked is slang for conned suga,

Actually, you was saying that if a woman doesn't want to get pregnant she can go to the doctor to get fix so that she doesn't get pregnant, that was your reasoning,

my point was that Traditionally women are expected to have children upon marriage regardless if they want children or not, and back in the old days, birth control wasn't readily available to mass population, and if a woman is not with child, she is stepped all on over,

come on woman

using the different words for the same meaning doesnt mean i dont know that they mean the same

read where i used those words still my point is clear and it differs from what you said


you shifted post to only play in old days so that you will win  am sure you posted the thread you didnt want us to forcus only on the old days

if you want us to play in old days then your thread is irrelevent since people of the old days never experiemented with getting a woman preganant before he  marries

Mrs. Eve:
We are talking about TWO DIFFERENT things,

I was talking about Traditional idealogy and you were talking about women being crooked,

we are talking the same thing dear but you didnt expect my reasoning

i last respond was based on this " NOW IF THEY ARE MARRIED, then there is no way the husband is going to let her cover up "

weather tradionally or what it is up to the woman to fall pregnant if she has means not fall pregnant

the man can climb trees to shout whatever but it up to her to fall if she wants along she has means not get pregnant

i never talked about woman being crooked i talked of them conning men if she doesnt want to fall pregnant

Mrs. Eve:
Hmmm,

I thinking you missed my point, but I don't blame ya but to some school systems, they need to be up to par with their methods,

Anyway, CARRY ON,

really?

point where you think i missed ?

Mrs. Eve:
Well Zimdrill, I am with you but just know that you are treading on dangerous ground with THESE FOLKS HERE,

I agree with you that women should cover up especially if they are not married, NOW IF THEY ARE MARRIED, then there is no way the husband is going to let her cover up knowing he want some shorties running around in the huts,

I jokingly asked my friend's husband if his wife went up to him and said she didn't want any children what would he do, I THINK I WAS AIRLY SLAPPED and he said something in Yoruba, I think he cussed me out, so the point is, when it come to married women wanting to wait to have children, THESE TRADITIONAL men aint having it,

you are sounding daft dear


even a married woman can cheat the guy on not getting pregnant all she does is go to a healtrhy clinic and have an implant thats it the husband will still fire bullets thinking she aint on pill or anything since the woman would have told him that she aint using the pill or anything

even if they go for test he will be told that she is fine

Tolulop001:
okay. thank you for your candid advice.
one more thing please,
as we speak i can still use the computer,
is there any risk of it crashing or whatever?if i dont rectify it soonest?

then it means that you wont have important updates from window which puts your pc at risk

Mrs. Eve:
Not just in Nigeria suga,

ok assume he is testing her

what about the woman why cant she protect herself if she aint ready to have child or if she aint sure about the guys future with her

Mrs. Eve:
Uhmmm let me see Zimdrill,

Testing to see if they can get pregnant


Yorisb,

Don't you have some cliffs to run off?

first time to hear that

is that how men do in nigeria? those woman let men just experiement with them?

Mrs. Eve:
Why do guys TEST women's fertility before deciding to marry her or to see if she WORTH THE WOMAN SHE IS?

Why do guys ASSUME just because they marry a woman she must bear HIM CHILDREN? Why do EVERY TRADITIONAL FAMILIES EXPECT CHILDREN upon marriage?

Why not adopt children that is orphan and without decent parents? I have noticed that African men take pride in producing children and raising them, HOWEVER don't we have too MANY CHILDREN without PARENTS ALREADY?

Relationships shouldn't be about a woman ability to have children, it should be about partnership between the two and men learning that NOT EVERY WOMEN SHOULD BEAR CHILDREN even when married or engaged,

explain what you mean by testing women's fertility

ammamat:
Please I just want to know.
Can men be happy alone?

thats depends

being happy doesnt mean having someone so be specific

DAY11.:
The pressure is unbearable & intolerable on which I can't just marry anybody.

Now its my grandma's turn, *SINGING* every now & then ( MY SON WHICH TIME U GO MARRY ) It's so irritating.

My Great 9ja people, Please help ya lil bro, Please help!!!help!!!help!!!help!!! before they kill me

Cheers

would you kill if your family ask and begs you to kill?

i fail to see how you caught in the middle

you aint direct involved in matter  just stand by the side like just the story puts you

the guy is a brother to his ex  and she is the girlfriend to guy  leave it like that

Tolulop001:
pls i have a problem,
my lappy came with Vista but i had a bluescreen problem and formatted it

i decided to upgrade to Windows 7, someone helped me do it

3 months down the line im getting

"Build 7600
this windows in not genuine"
what do i do? does it have any implications? e.g lappy crashing and all that.

thanks

it only means that the copy installed on your pc is not a genuine windows one you need a genuine one installed

no brainer with this thread

those people aint married they will never see it from the point of view of person who is married

when they get married they will change automatically

D-sense:
Don't listen to them . . . . . .U can always become Father if u want

thread closed nothing more to say

omega25red:
^^ good questionsince you have a business why not employ her and put her needy azz to work.

thats a recipe for disaster to employ her

roughly it seems like she doesnt see the need to run around to make the business work though he has told us how he spends his typical day

we need to see how he balances the two his business and her

this one doesnt need rocket science

when you ask a woman to marry you tell the father this is almost allover the world whatever the west, africa, asia etc

and beside her saying yes the father also agrees with it

so the father is the one who gives away his daughter

just like your mum's father did when your mother got married

konsult:
I was told there are more virgins among hausa babes than any other tribe in Nigeria.Pls is true.Any one with an experience or knowlege of this.

are you trying to say other tribes shoot them before they grow i.e they loose virginity before their are mature to date and by the dating age they would be very few virgins

definition of a bad husband differ from person to person

define the bad husband you are talking about

tell us of of typical day  hours you spend working and your free time and the time you spend with her

benboa:
Whats actually the craze with six packs?? some ladies wouldnt mind

singing their guys praises all day about this. Despite the flat tummy, all they wanna see is the six,

Heyy peeeps , any ideas?

the same thing some woman would ask whats the craziness with big round arse or booobs

mediatrix8:
When should you listen to your heart? When it screams at you to leave or when it pleads with you to stay?

you need to use both your heart and reasoning

chiteny:
@ 190: what do u mean lash am?
@Cork: She is Nigerian. But why must I run? I no dey fear like you.
@D-sense: I think you dey make sense.
@Zim Drill: I want to explore/anticipate options so I know what to do when any other the explored options show up.

then thats simple let her come an explore want she throw at you

why would ask us what she wants we can only speculate

let her come and see her action and hear her thoughts

then you will get the want you think we should tell you

Xionez:
Guyz, i wanna to an overhaul of my old lappy. the specs are
Acer Aspire 5100
Windows XP (upgraded to Vista with some Win7 components installed)
AMD Athlon 64 Dual core 1.6GHz
RAM of 1G (currently 896MB, dont know y, any reasons?)
120GB hard drive (in 2 60GB partitions)
ATI Radeon X1600 256MB memory
No bluetooth in-built and the body is getting brown from silver)

Pls, i want to upgrade the parts apart from processors. What and what should be changed and how much will it cost

Also, the speaker volume is small (worse when combined with speakers), even my mobile drowns it sound. What software do you recommend
I thought of getting small speakers, but the sound didnt improve. Someone said i should get a speaker with in-built amp, but i want to know what features to look out for at the first glance. U kno naija, they will tell u it has when actually it doesnt.
Thanks NLers

problem with laptops is that you cant do much upgrades you can change the processors but it will depend if the motherboard can handle the processors

you can do little like adding more ram or putting a bigger hard drive it is always better to get something current with all those extra things you want

amarijohn:
my HP530 notebook laptop has this problem, if i switch it on, it doesn't take time before it goes off again, and some time it does not go off when i put it on, i have changed the battery but still yet it has the same problem.

doesnt it switch off without a warning and also have you listened to the fan it always running very fast ?


most likely it need cleaning the copper air ducts covered with dust it doesnt cool as it supposed to hence it switches it self off
