Screwface: Hundred percent front page worthy.

. . . Wtf! I wonder how this will reduce the price of Agege bread in Obalande market.

sauer:
Yes. Very correct.

Marriage is still nonsense though. Let them just enjoy all the photoshoots now before they finally get shot down.

Like I said earlier, shut it! Marriage isn't nonsense...I've seen people worked through their marriages successfully amidst storms and what's not...from what I've learnt so far, esp on NL,no marriage is perfect, it just takes the right mind-set, good communication, and God's grace for it to flourish. Ask my parents!! If yours isn't working, find out what it lacks and work towards it...cheers!

Is it not easier if people stay single?

There will be no storms to face and nothing to compromise and be working for. Isn't it?

No it isn't bro, weather you choose to be single or married there will ALWAYS be storms. Its harder when one is alone, esp during the stormy periods.
However, its easier when you have a partner, a confidant, someone you can trust so he/she shares in your moments of storms...you get?

Firstly, I thought your definition of storm was relationship based? I was mistaken. Secondly, what makes you think everyone wants to share their storm? Don't you think some people are able to deal better with storm in solitude? And some storms are more manageable when the impact only one person? Thirdly, aren't marriage storms very strong considering over half of marriages fail and probably over 80% of marriages are miserable?

Whoa! Where did you get those stats from? Is that in Nigeria alone or worldwide? I doubt that

Which ever way one chooses to deal with his/her storm is the person's prerogative. If you read my comment you quoted, you'll see I said it was "easier" when one has someone to talk to during those moments..

Yea, sometimes I'm aware some people might want to deal with their pains alone...here we talking relationship-based storms. I started this conversation based on what saucer said concerning marriages..and that's still my point of focus. Moving on, I'm not sure how you came about those figures, but I'll still say this. Based on your thoughts of handling storms alone, would be one of the reason IMO why marriages fail. A situation where a partner cannot express displeasure or whatever because he/she chooses to deal with it in solitude, or when a Partner's willing to talk and the other half isn't accessible for whatever reason would be good enough reasons 80% of marriages(according to Sagamite) are miserable...

Good point. Most are too quick to decide that marriage is a good thing, mainly because everyone is doing it. For the person who is able to deal with storms alone, why marry? That's if one's to accept her reasons for marriage.
Marriages are simply overrated. Some can very well survive without it.

I love this, very beautiful.

Who says "it's easier"? If you are the type who craves for company in times of storm, you need not extend that craving to others. Man is built to stand alone.

And btw, it's sauer, not saucer

It is simple ratiocination.

Abi o.

When in reality, marriage should get an F grade.

You have to start realising not everyone likes talking or sharing. And marriage itself can be full of storms just because people enter it. In some cases it might be eaiser to face storms in a marriage, but in other cases, you will not even have a lot of storms if you were single.

God doesn't make mistakes. If he thought Adam could do it all alone, he wldnt have made him " a helper" Eve...Sauer, no man's an island!

ogugua88:

Doesn't matter where they're from. I'm convinced MBGN pick 36 women and disperse them to random states. MBGN 2011 winner, Sylvia Nduka, represent Taraba state. The year before that, that same Sylvia Nduka represented Kaduna.

That's what they do, but that chic is Yoruba

Sweetie, there is no confirmation that story (Adam and Eve) is true. It might just be myths.

God also made other animals, he did not tell them to share, rather just sh[i]a[/i]g.

You too correct. Absolutely no evidence. Actually, there's more evidence it's some myth.

If this is what you are basing your conclusions on, then I might as well refrain from entering into an argument with you. Who would ever argue from this perspective?
Anywyz, god made that mistake of creating eve. Isn't she the one who got adam and all of men into trouble eventually? Except my knowledge of bible stories is now really sh[i]i[/i]t. Damn!

If you read, believe and can quote that part where God asked his creatures to be fruitful and multiply, I'm also sure you must have read and also believed that part about Adam and Eve...

Nah, I have a better chance of believing other mythologies like Lord of the Rings with the aim of me looking for the Ring.

All those medieval stories are no different to me.

There is no evidence there is a sole progenitor for all humans. That sounds like tosh to me, written by ignorant and unenlightened medieval people.

J.R. Tolkien was a better writer and mythologist.

God did not make a lionness a helper to the Lion. He just made it a co-procreator.

Even though I hate marriage, I gotta admit that being single ain't better bro.

Check out Shola Animashaun‘s behind the scenes video of the couple during their pre-wedding photo shoot at his studio. In the video, Shola captures the couple laughing, dancing and not afraid of being affectionate. Lovely!
