1. YOUR FRIEND'S SISTER!

dont ever date your friend's sister(s)!

no matter how kul he takes it( not to annoy the sis if she is older, or if they are buddies), they aint ever happy with you! these drills acts as magnets to this category of gurls because u get to spend alota times with the fam and the brother go jisting them about your bravodo unwittingly when u are not arround, they just wano have you. start dying for u silently, you might not even notice it most times. cos you dont get to see them often, some times, some of them are so daring they just cant hold emselves! they start warming up to u. start calling even very late @ night, bringing u fud and showing general care secretly, behind their brother's back.

IF YOU ARE LIKE ME UNDERNEATH THE SHEET, DONT DO IT MEN. COS SHE WUD BE SO STUCK ON U!
dis is called betrayer of trust gee! and your friend, no matter how civilized and mature, cant take it wen u start dipping his kid sis. Put yourself in his shoes.

know why it hurts so much for you to start dating you friend's sis?

1) cos he knows all your other games and how u guys have been using and dumping other gurls, he feels you wano just hump his sis and count number with her! this aint kul menh! UNLESS OFCOS YOU WANO REALLY MARRY HER! THEN WITHOUT MUCH ADO, B4 HE KNOWS, PUT A RING ON IT! THAT WAY, HE WUD BE ALLAYED TECHNICALLY THAT IS.

2) Unless ofcos you are confortable in life, he wud think you aint worth his sis and wud just suffer the poor gurl even if your intention is genuine

3) friendship wud go south cos itz not everytin you wud tell each other again cos his sis is now involved. and he would begin to monitor your whole life! aint worth it mehn

5) how do you tell your own friend that you are dipping his sis huh? snitch! untrustworthy mallam


Dont lose friendship u've probably built for years because you cudnt tell where to and where not to slot your sim!

I am really new here. Just stumbled upon this thread few months back. And I was like WTF what was I been doing since that I had not found this (way of life) as boss used to say. And digest it to become my way of life, but not withstanding am not late I know . Although I still at page 100 of this thread for I started since from page 1. But the experience is worth it.

Sir I really must say you are the DON.
Reading this, I realised that I messed up high time. And I am looking forward to rectify my mistakes. Well here is my story.
There is this fine damsel whom is my neighbor and at the same time my best friend sister, we grew up together as kids, you know all the plays, tantrums, fights etc. So the huge mistake I made was that i developed feelings for this girl and propose to her (breaking two of your rules, she being my neighbor and the worst my friend's sister)�, we started dating everything was normal but since as kids, we used to brag about our ladies in front of other guys like yes we got girls, unknowingly to them even to touch hands is a disaster to kids because the courage wasn't there. So all things were going smoothly till one day we had a fight and broke up (as all lovers do). After months later we got back together, but you knew better the relationship will never be the same.
We were back and balling but I got needy and clingy and she sensed it. I would be the one doing all the callings asking boring questions ��. But now who the f..k cares how she is. Sir I successfully handed my balls to her on a golden platter and with that she started manipulating me activating me on the pending mode.
This girl am talking about would be answering endless calls in front of muah with guys like "YOU" boss, guys who knows there onions and be spending minutes even hours with them(but till now I realized after being ur apprentice that most of those guys were stickers on the devastated zone) coz guys like you just got there message clear and move on coz others are waiting and you mustn't be selfish. Boss I suffered in that FZ guess am even the president of her FZoned guys , my main aspiration was to make her happy , I was that type of guy that always gave her solitude and warmth whenever guys like you thrashed her bcoz am ultra pro max nice��. Boss we even attended the same University with her, at the time I got a ride (I knew you will just say a chauffeur in the making. Yeah I heard that�), and that was exactly what I became I drove HER to school everyday of the week including weekends since morning to evenings even when I did not have any lectures fixed on my part ,and sir I would be anticipating her call throughout the ,the moment she calls, off I was. Even when we were in class id just took an excuse and scram. Behold the queen has called one will even conclude that I was admitted to ss4 because the struggle rather suffering was real .
Back at home my parents knew I was very intelligent a (guru) so I decided to took one of the most toughest course the university offers , but my grades as at that time when I am with that ball slamming parasite were very poor to the extent that my parents thought I was possessed by some evil spirit only if they knew it was a She spirit , if not I was very bright I would have been expunged or rather withdrawn from the institute. But she was because rarely you would see beauty and brains, so that girl was withdrawn due to her unavailability of reaching the minimum points required to continue studying at the uni. And I guess that was what brought me back on track.

But on my friend's part, he knows all my capabilities, all my tastes on ladies, in short we visited so many ladies with him. Unknowing to me he would just snuck back behind my back to inform his sis, and she would just descend on me enquiring about my new catch, saying that I cheated on her ,how could I do this to her . There was a time I was strolling with a new babe, out of the blues this ballslamming appears with her family members behold, I just took to my heels and ran, leaving this new babe stranded on suspense. Boss don't laugh. So this her brother does that a lot to me. It feels like I am trapped.
Boss before I stumbled upon this life saving thread of yours I was planning on taking her out to an expensive eatery and cry on her (which I have never did on anything since I was a kid) that she should be sorry and give me a chance to rectify my mistakes.
She was the type of lady that will introduce each and every one of her boyfriends to me saying to them that I was her first luv then she would just leave. So now I realized that was her tactics of keeping me in check, so that I would not be able to meet new ladies and she injected me a strong jealous sedative.
But boss I want my relationship to be intact with her brothers and family because I am someone that even her parents hold on high esteem. So I wouldn't want a girl to destroy that sacred bond.
So with your knowledge and advice, I developed the SENDLESS skills on her. Acting and behaving like I don't care. Coz am out of the country now but she pleaded with to never change the nice attitude in me, that she knows I must definitely meet new ladies out there. Wicked being. So that she can have my balls all for her keeps.
But boss thank you once again you handed back my balls to me on a golden platter and they were plates or shielded with a hard unpenetrable compound like diamond so that no any ball stealing witch could ever get to them.
I feel like am reborn again. Baptized by mi lawd HARDDON. I SALUTE THEE.

This Nassarawa people do not have lafiya at all. I wonder why the state capital is called Lafia

Look at this one. People are struggling to eat whatever comes at hand and you're here talking bout meat and fish. My gees down here only see meat occasionally.

��My man how can someone inhale armpit. That shit sounds disgusting.

ecolime:
Kano is the home of Nigerian druggies. People wey dey inhale soakaway, armpits, sewage, etc..

Newton85:
Why won't they fear Northerners? Have you forgotten the history of Hausa-Fulanis barbecuing Eboes like fowls? The Eboe chestbeating is only restricted to Yorubas because Yoruba civility and non-violent approach to life is seen by Eboes as being "cowards." The only people Eboes fear are those who kill them like fowls at any instance, hence they fear Northerners.

Let's just pray it doesn't reach up to that level because it'll be a real massacre down here at the North

Abujason:


IT ALWAYS AMAZES ME WHEN YORUBA PEOPLE GET OVERLY EXCITED AT THIS TYPE OF NEWS. WHEN NORTH VS SOUTH VIOLENCE START, ABOKIS WONT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IGBOS AND YORUBAS OR ANY SOUTHERNER FOR THAT MATTER. SO HAVE SOME SENSE.

Some one with basic sense is finally talking. To the Northerners both Yoruba's and Igbo's are termed Inyamuri
