'Absolutely horrendous'? Dude,Man Utd have never been as poor as Arsenal got at some point during the game in a long while.Don't let your hate for United bias your analysis,ok?
And,'brave but tired boys'? You mean one brave and enthusiastic boy,named Walcott. Abeg my boi don score.
Gooooalll Ronaldo

Dont worry, i am sure Bolton fans were saying the same too

4Play, what can i say to you?

4 Play:

See them rejoicing over beating Bolton. . . . .shameless people. Just when I was about to taunt u guys for managing only a draw. . . .Fibreglass strikes.The Battle for 2nd Place is on!

The usual classic tantrums from one of my favourite frenemies, 

Don't worry about us 4play. We will be fine.  

I made this prediction just after the 2nd goal in one of my previous posts. Maybe the Arsenal board should consider hiring me then to lift up the spirits when the chips are down.

Cassiel:

Walcott is one talented boi. With him on that pitch,there just might be some hope for the gunners.
@Imani
Oh,i'm one of your favorite [b]devils [/b]
Honestly Walcott's talents are wasting @ Arsenal. Boi will go places.

OK you are a Muppets Untied Man United fan. That's alrite, i am sure Ferguson wont be buying drinks for the Bolton manager after this game then.

3- 2 to the ARSENAL,

Cassiel:

Ade don come o. Go Arses! Y'all can't can do this

Thanks for the witches wishes. Which of our frenemies are you?

Lets hope Arsenal hold on and snatch a goal right at the death.

4Him:

Send a gay friend to Iran.

Can YOU have a gay friend?

almondjoy:

The section of Nairaland is so disgusting it is not even funny.  Most of the people there are under one kind of spell or another.  Living corpses if you ask me!

Dem get work?

Look abeg, i dont have strength to fight anybody today abeg. YOU on the other hand are on another level, they must have given up on you by now

almondjoy:

HELLO MOTTO. . . . REDIALLING!

mumu religion! abi na religion for mumus.

Please this is becoming religious thread and should be removed to the dustbins of the religious section of Nairaland where thrashy elements reside! This is THE ROMANCE SECTION PLEASE! It is Friday and you guys are turning me seriously off with all your religious crappy posts!


MOVE IT!!!!!

Ok we don hear

I did'nt even know i couldnt type s.haria again without being censored. Seun must be having trouble sleeping at night because of some e-terrorists . If he can afford to please them he should please ALL religions too.

damola1:




The point was very simple: The Great Religion instills discipline in people than christianity.
.

Any religion that supports harsh rules such as the sharia laws and honour killings in order to "punish" people is not instilling discipline in anybody but fear. The ability to have freedom of choice even if it is of a negative consequence is very important to the essence of being human.

damola1:


The morale of it all is, don't judge people if you don't know them, do not generalise people, don't say all nigerians are scammers, don't say all moslems are bombers, don't say all warri people can kidnap, learn to appreciate people for who they are, and just maybe, that person you are searching for might be among them.

I agree with you on this. But i am sure you will realise it is difficult not to generalise sometimes even though it is wrong. When the people being "generalised" against actually start making changes, the generalisations reduce and may eventually stop.

@4Him, just a theoretical question,

If everyone married within the boundaries of their religion, class, education, what do you envisage the world will be like?

Really hopefully the Bolton game rejuvenates our somehow stale season. Somewhere along the line we faltered. Hope we learn and paraphrasing Kevin Keegan " I would love it, really love it if we beat Liverpool to win the Champions League" at least in my dreams and at least salvage what is left of our season. Being so near and yet so far sucks BIG TIME

@ JoshJosh, I have to agree with you. The religion board is something else . I feel you. How people manage to argue over and over with each other is beyond me and sometimes you will think there is a prize awaiting the winner of the "debate"

4Him:

1. I don't like you a lot of the time, but u're making plenty of sense at the moment.

2. I'm perplexed when i see otherwise reasonable adults base their concept of a lifetime of commitment on a few hours of a "soooo beautiful" wedding.

3. We read cases of honor killings in the UK and recently in the US, we read cases of men (especially those of middle eastern heritage married to white women) forcing their daughters into arranged marriages . . . they all started with marriages were the pastor and imam ate and laughed together.

1. Classic 4Him, couldn't resist taking a swipe!!!

2. I will agree with you on this point. A wedding ceremony is merely an occasion or a single event. A marriage starts after all the festivities and cake eating/dancing are over. When a couple are together maybe 10 years and counting in todays climate of divorce, then they can have something to brag about.

3. Your example of honour killing is extreme. Honour killing is not limited to a girl simply refusing to marry the family approved "spouse" due to different culture or religion. It transcends that. Honour killing has also been known to occur due to clash of spouse on basis of class even within the boundaries of the same religion, or a lady seeking divorce from her husband both practicing same religion etc.

I will give her a passionate french kiss

Where have you been?

Thank goodness you are back. I'm losing my freaking mind in the sports thread.

Nella:

Heeeeeeeyyyyyy! sports thread? haha,
_{thinking: i've been on planet Earth lol}

gosh, how u been!?

@ topic :


Say Hi,

Is this another of the many blosoming nairaland romances? 

yemivictor:

Okay, let me come out straight & reciprocate in kind!

With my "oju yobo" antics in my previous post, i am really deeply sorry!!

Please translate, not everyone understands your language. thanks

chuckdee4:

Lets see,

The only insecurity i know of is extremely tall women.

I once went to the cinema with a girl who was 6'3 in height, i knew about this before stepping out with her and thought 1 inch aint too much off a difference (I'm 6'2) but i tell u, walking alongside her that night made me feel like less of a man, i've never been so insecure in my entire life.

So there u go, my insecurity is taller women

I think it may be a more of a psychological effect because you are tall yourself. Is the ability to see the centre of a lady's head ie feeling tall, strong and mighty, part of what makes you a man?

Uche2nna:

You damn rite , Imani. I admire the lady no be small. Sometimes a little too brash, a little too quick with the mouth( or with the posts I should say) but she is fun and most times means no harm.

I have to also admit that i have a lot of respect for you. Last year when there was a strong tribal polarity especially especially regarding Igbo topics, you were by far the must moderate poster. Please keep it up. I have no problems with people being passionate about culture and ethnicity but not to the point of stifling others.

uspry1:

Hmmm! I checked out what AJ refer TWO TOP LIST of "Merry Xmas" as her secret admirers.

Two NLs from UK, hmmm! One is infamous customized car specialist (AJ knows what I talked about) and the other i am not quite familiar but AJ was there each time this Nairaland guy posted other section (he is here this thread like @Imani has said).

For me, I admired several Nairaland intelligent guys (Nigerian abroad--USA) who are the same advanced profession as I am, also same Solar Energy System proposal as I educate them the same here on Nairaland. I did talked two of them AT ONCE when one was only 2 weeks new member in 2007---now his numbers of postings beat me and the other sought my business advice.

So far I never talk to them, but reading their posts daily basis.

I think i have an idea who one of them is . You must be very brave to talk to complete strangers. But sometimes we meet friends in unlikely places ie Nairaland, 

@4Him,

I just checked your profile image and saw the picture of a "serene" tiger rather than a "roaring" tiger. I was prompted to look based on the mild nature of your response regarding a topic you are such and expert on or rather passionate about. You haven't even abused anyone on this thread, yet. Hmmm what is happening to you?

@ Topic,

By all means if spiritual compatibility is important to you, then it should be a important factor in deciding which relationship to be involved in. I have nothing against that. I onced said that three factors i look for in a relationship in no particular order.
1. Spiritual compatibility
2. Mental compatibility
3. Physical compatibility

It is important that i relate to a loved on on those levels, BUT if i meet someone not necessarily compatible on all 3 fronts, then i may make adjustments. But i wont go into any relationship blindly but aware of the full facts.

How can we decide who is the "most handsome" when we have very few pictures to verify?

Nairaland guys dont put up thier pictures for the following reasons. Maybe they

1. Are not photogenic rather than ugly.

2. Dont know how to use the photo software that reduces the image sizes of pictures taken with digital cameras

3. are just concerned with privacy issues which i understand.

To cut the long story short, until we see some pictures no Nairaland guy is "handsome"

4Him:

We can fantasise all we want on "love conquers all" . . . that one only exists in novels.
Spiritual compatibility between couples is very essential for a marriage to work.
The bible says little foxes spoil the vine . . . after the lovey dovey honey moon period when both man and wife settle into the routine of married life, it is those tiny little differences "that didnt matter" while they were dating that will draw them apart.

The only way such marriages will work is if one or both of the couples is simply practicing his or her religion on paper only.
It is hard to see how you will cope with a husband who wants his children dressed taliban-style while you struggle to meet up with bible study.

1. Love conquers most not all things. Most responses to the topic actually favour quiting a relationship because of difference of religion. However, some have also pointed out the fallacy of using religion as "major" yardstick in ditching a mutual loving relationship. I believe religion is important but i am not overtly fanatical about it.  

2. The example of little foxes is a flawed concept because it can also be applied to Christians who love each other but belong to different churches who differ on fundamental teachings on the bible. Example, a pentecostal may not be comfortable with someone of a white garment or catholic denomination. At the end of the day they are all Christians but what people believe in the bible is also important in how they live their daily lives.

3. Any inter religious marriage rarely work, not simply because of the religious differences itself but because of how/what OTHERS perceive about it. Those that work tend to have an inactive religious person. However, that requires a high level of maturity. Of course i am all for spouses praying for their spouses however, not forcing them to change religion.

At the end of the day, yes religion is important but maybe not as important as people make it out to be. With all the level of religious activity in the African or particularly Nigerian culture, are we getting better or worse as a people?

Please let's keep this thread in the romance section and not allow oga Seun to relegate it to the religion board thanks

4Him:

This thread is long on idealism, fantasy and alice in wonderland sentiments but extremely short on truth and reality.

And you would be gracious enough to enlighten us on the truth and reality?

Looks like one of AlmondJoy's many admirers eventually showed up

PERVERT9:

some mothers do have them

Dr Felie's footnote says who is Dr Felie?
At last we all know YOU really are? 

Nice pics!!! You look lovely too EFOSAL VAL

Thank goodness you are back. I'm lose my freaking mind in the sports thread.

Could that be Razoor? Where is she sef?

Blackcat:

Which year was that? Believe me no Policeman can dear beat a Nigerian in broad daylight mercilessly and get away with it except that Nigerian was caught stealing which in such cases the public joins in

Last Summer, July 2007, i witnessed an incident close to my house similar to what EloSela described. The victim was stopped by the some police guys, and i think he refused to stop at first so was chased. I think he was on an okada. This guy was literary slapped, and ordered to STRIP NAKED on a side road that links to a major express way. This happened in broad day light. I watched the scene with disgust from my balcony. The policemen had guns and knowing the type of country we live in and the trigger happy police, i wasn't about to play local hero. I really felt for the guy. He was being treated like a criminal before even stepping into a police station. By the way, after all the physical assault he was bundled into the police for some more beatings. This all happened in a decent part of town. I complained to a family member and i was told i hadn't seen anything yet ,
The police are supposed to be a symbol of order in any country, but some of ours are a symbol of terror.

yemivictor:

But then again, this might just be one thread too personal!

So . . . i'll understand your reluctance!!

There is nothing too personal about this thread. However, people may have responded more if the original poster actually led by example.

My insecurity?, I think i am not photogenic .

nwando:

every group of Nigerians that aided and supported the massacre of the Igbos will eat their own hot peppersoup sooner or later.
let's watch out who the next would be
_{the sons of awolowo?}
today na today!

Actually, people died ON BOTH SIDES of the war, please remember to mention that too. The people who lost their lives on the national side also had family.

With regards to the Yorubas, i doubt they can ever secede from Nigeria. Too much at stake and not too many "brave" people or rather too many double crossers.

PERVERT9:

how serious would you like me to be? _{abeg o}

Pervert9/other legion identities you have on Nairaland. Please be serious and stop all these perverted inferences, eh don do, you hear . Try to help someone in need, opps i forgot you have no heart

Akolawole:

@Imani

Baby,

Do you know masters degree students has to get a clearance/certificate as well from a body before their visa can be renewed?

## Still need your input in that thread called common problem foreign student bla bla ##

Really?, . Gosh i am glad, i am over that phase finally. . As at the time, i started my Masters, some of the current changes had started creeping in like the "ATAS" thing.

I am not sure about that thread but will check it out. Since I started working my attention has turned from student visa category to working visas catergories and "other" catergories outside normal immigration rules,

2Legit:

Very racist.

Are you white or are you a black woman who just has self hatred? keep loathing yourself

Err, if i were you, i won't get too worked up over almondjoy's comments. She is only expressing her opinions and having fun. You seriously dont want to be on the receiving end of some almond abuse. you can ask those who have been

@PERVERT9,

Are you not the same character as Dr Felie/Mr Felie/Aduran gba/Felia/His grace/obo wunmi/okoatiobo and other razz identities?
