Kak eto ti pishish porussky? Ti Uchilsa V Rossi chto li?

There's an existing Nairaland Law that English is the only acceptable means of communication. So STFU with your gibberish already. This goes out to Siena too, totally arseholey thing to do to post twice in russian. it's a discussion forum, not an avenue for you kids to show off

@Poster
Don't you even contemplate any blood oath! If he insists, give him the shove. Why the hell do you wanna stick with someone who doesn't even trust you?

@ texaspizza: And you're the smart one hey! grin

Internet language tools are there for a reason, depending on whom you're addressing. If English isn't their first language, certain words you post in English MAY not be understood. It doesn't mean the poster CAN'T understand English.

So, next time you decide to criticize, think first of the reasons behind a particular method of communication. Does that clarify that? Or further explanation required before more insults start flying? grin grin grin

Stay WELL clear of blood oaths. It's unnecessary and most people that do it go into it without really understanding the in-depth deatail behind it, especially on a spititual level. Consequences (and there usually are) are always very devastating. In other words, it's signing a contract with the devil cos God doesn't require such to show love between people.

@ TANUSHKA
1. Are you married? to the guy I mean
2. Has he got his papers/ residence permit
3. Are you or your parents rich?
4. DON'T TAKE ANY OATH. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS!! NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THIS GUY. IF HE SAYS IF YOU LOVE HIM YOU SHOULD DO IT, DON'T MIND HIM. IT'S CHEAP BLACKMAIL.

He probably wants to make you give him papers, he'll spend all your money or make you steal your parent's money and then dump you.

Good luck cool

Re: My Boyfriend Wants To 'Take An Oath' In Nigeria by MoOdYLaDy(f): 4:33am On Nov 12, 2007
Abeg take the oat jare then come back and tell us the after effective. I dislike when people ask dump questions, if you want to prove how much you love him, go ahead with the plan and drink his blood but make sure he drinks yours too wink.

what a better way of proving You love somebody?
whats the surest way to know you are not beenin deceived?


its a love oath!.it as been in existence way back in the old testament and long before you or I were born. If yu read african folktales or you were born in the village like some -of -us, you would know its a Nigerian Thing.

@TANUSHKA
Please don't mind that man. He was only joking. Lets be honest, an Igbo man wants to take blood oath. Even if you are the one feeding him, he knows better.
Infact, tell him YES, that you are ready to take the oath. You will see that he didn't mean it. Cos he knows where he comes from. He will be the one to die not you. Trust me, don't think too much about it. He just wants you to see the sincereity that does not exist in him at all
Re: My Boyfriend Wants To 'Take An Oath' In Nigeria by maki(f): 11:18am On Nov 12, 2007
@TANUSHKA
in the first place where are you from? if you are not from Africa definately i dont think that will work on you and i think he is just using your head for you to be scared of leaving him.

and damn our Nigerian guys what the hell is he doing in Russia when he has a country like Nigeria where he can make good money.

Girl Take my advise use am as you can and dont take that oath its worthless

Thats what's good for them, they dont have brains to think

oaths you say?

abeg no do o- i mean do not involve yourself in any thing like that.

and if you already have, break it off quickly.
Re: My Boyfriend Wants To 'Take An Oath' In Nigeria by pappilo(m): 2:29pm On Nov 12, 2007
I couldnt resist this:

I like 'oats'. I have taken it with my wife in the past and will do so in the future. I have also taken 'oats' with my family. I don think there is anything wrong with taking 'oats'. It will keep you and you husband strong and healthy. If he is going to take the 'oats', make sure he does it right i.e with a lot of milk and sugar. one last thing make sure it's Quaker Oats

sorry!
Re: My Boyfriend Wants To 'Take An Oath' In Nigeria by amaikama(m): 2:33pm On Nov 12, 2007
The post is very interesting but has any one ever wondered or she been asked why the guy wanted a blood oath? angry
Re: My Boyfriend Wants To 'Take An Oath' In Nigeria by amaikama(m): 2:53pm On Nov 12, 2007
sometimes i wonder wat sort of advice we give to a sister or a brother that have a problem. a foreign sister that has no knowledge of our culture needed an advice on wat she is currently experience wit her boy friend instead of been positive about it we tend to condemn the guy or girl in their presence. angry it will know shows how barbaric we when it comes to our culture. angry or what we do to get something.
Re: My Boyfriend Wants To 'Take An Oath' In Nigeria by Revive(f): 2:59pm On Nov 12, 2007
If you love yourselves very much ( as you sound), why don’t you get married properly? and oaths will not be an issue again.

You can go to the Church and vow (marry ) before God “till death do you path” and your oath wahala-problem is solved. And if you both respect God (remember you said your boy friend reads Bible before you), yourselves and your marriage vows, then what you both need to be together is only marriage vow.

If you have already done the blood oath rubbish, better go for a pure deliverance in the Church and break it.

Good luck.

My dear amaikama,
our yoruba people say "oun ti ko dara, ko dara" meaning literarily, what is bad,is bad! full stop!, if our brother was not stupid enough to introduce the base and barbarous side of our culture to a foreigner, we would not have cause to say all what we have said so far! i am a nigerian, and a patriotic one at that, but then i have since discovered that we as a people like to involve sentiments in issues we are supposed to approach dispassionately.
