I see a lot of people, trying to keep up a reputation on line. Claiming 'badest guy' 'hotest chic' 'most intelligent' 'most sought after' etc. As much as the www is becoming part of lives, we should know when to draw the line abeg! #sips tea... |

lezz: and why should Ghana pass an anti-gay law? or Ghanaians can no longer decide what is a priority for them? passing an anti-gay law may be a priority for your country. It doesn't mean any other country or countries is under obligation to do same! Ghana will pass an anti-gay law if it deems it appropriate, not because other countries are passing such laws. and by the way, being gay is already illegal under the law in Ghana so what are you talking about? 1 Like |

Ilovenigeria:I just wasn't finding her accusation funny, that's all. Bukatyne I would never discuss something like that on here in the first instance if not for the fact that she made stuff up and threw silly child-like accusations around, I only aimed to disprove it. If anyone is being reasonable and objective here, they'll know that all this talk about mails says a lot about the type of person she is rather than about me. She is totally desperate in trying to get back at me for attacking and making fun of her intellectual capacity these past few weeks...like a silly little kid on a revenge mission. 2 Likes |

Well your opinion though. Realise how as Africans, we came from being barely clothed to what we wear these days. All tribes, race and cultures passed through this stage. Even Adam and Eve. In the past only few African tribes fully clothed themselves. In other words few cultures had the cotton wool spindle, Aso Oke weaving, etc. (I would like to research into the beginning of weaving in the Yoruba Culture). Most areas especially within West Africa only covered their loins. In some other cultures/tribes only married women covered their breasts while maidens only had loin cloths. Then came the white man with more supply of clothing- Slavery, Colonisation, Christianity/Islam and it was taught that it was actually immoral not to cover up! Then they left and we became independent. We choose to copy them. They never forced us to do so. So you see the white man did not teach you to dress scantily. He taught you to cover up, then when he started going nude you decided to copy him. Recall that at a time in some European countries, it was actually a crime to wear skimpy bikinis to the beach. Por.n was illegal and so many things were outlawed. Even during the bootlegging period, alcohol was banned in the U.S. So why now blame the white man when an adult female in Nigeria decides to COPY or emulate the white man of today? Besides you rightly said the spandex (I think that was what she wore) is meant for sports, possibly in a gym. She made the choice to wear it in public. And she made a choice not to wear a top long enough to cover her ''Private Property''. What you should do is advice women about ensuring that they choose (at all times) the right thing to wear at the right time, in the right way and at the right place. It requires being informed and being modest. There is personal responsibility and liberty of choice. She made the choice. The white man has nothing to do with it. If she wants, she can always easily find an Iya Shola to sew her a bou-bou or Kaftan. She chose the spandex. Her choice. 3 Likes |

For the newcomers: I was here from the beginning of the thread, even before it was frontpaged. Carefreewannabe didn't say one word to Crackhaus in this thread before he started pestering her. And then finally demanded she say publicly what she was trying to communicate to him codedly. So everything that was subsequently revealed is entirely on him. 4 Likes |

carefreewannabe:I know you'll so much love the idea of me stalking you, but unfortunately I don't. There's a reason I follow users like those on my profile, and for some of them it's because I want to see what they're posting cos I like it...the others are in response to them following me. So Miss Carefreelittleliar, I DO NOT look forward to reading anything from you and thus can't stalk you...and I can't go typing monikers on the search box just to see what they're doing. I'm sorry because I know how much my stalking you would mean to your conceited sickly personality. Take your pills please! Don't be a chicken, tell the spectators how many mails I've sent you and when last I did that. In case you haven't noticed, they're enjoying the show. 1 Like |

MissMeiya: He either quotes me or alludes to my posts in his mischievous way. He claimed today that he only alluded to me and my post on one other thread when he also did so on this thread. I replied to his comment, fully aware that it was AGAIN directed at me, in a civil way but he ignored a straightforward conversation on the subject matter to later quote and accuse me. But he claims now that he did not allude to my post on this thread when it is obvious that he did. Deceitful. It is quite creepy. |

Sagamite: I think the guy you quoted is buzugee, and he knows more about history than all the other clowns combined. And yes, the Romans invaded and conquered Britain. And that was where the name "Britannia" meaning Roman Britain came from. The Roman legacy is still evident all over the UK. And there are a lot folks with Roman ancestry. When you see any ethnic Brit with an extremely big nose - you should be able to deduce that the person might be of Roman ancestry. Anyway, the guy was closer to the truth than the resident clowns, but they twisted and took his words out of context. 2 Likes |

The illusion of free will makes us do things that we might not necessarily have normally done, just to prove that we can. Its not much a matter of the West, as it is of someone trying to express their individuality in a way she sees fit. Now, how you choose to respond it is your own part. Mostly, if I have no responsibility over a person, and I don't pay their bills and I am not interested in distracting myself from a boring journey by ogling them, I simply ignore. Trust me, sermonizing such people only enforces their need to prove that they are sorrowful captives of the freedom of choice. 1 Like |

Sagamite: Let me help break down everything Buzugee was alluding to in clearer terms. The guy has a weird way of putting his message across because of his Black Hebrew Israelite thing - but he does know his stuff. - The Romans invaded and conquered Britain. And the legacy, culture, and structures (in terms of how the ruled is ruled and how they united all the tribes) they left behind were never eroded by the subsequent invaders. From the Saxons, to the Normans, to the Jutes, to the Angles (commonly called Vandals/barbarians). - Even after they "left" most of the tribal elites embraced the Roman culture. And the romanisation of Britain is till evident in the way the country is set up, and most of the cities/towns were founded by the Romans. - When you also look at the fact that the rise of Constantine started in York. And he subsequently started Roman Catholic drive through the Council of Nicea, that made religion part of the state - and what was to become the blueprint for all imperial European empires. In which the British empire became the pinnacle of. Hence Buzugee citing Roman Empire as metamorphosing into the British Empire. Furthermore, the United States, which is also modeled like a pseudo-British Empire looks more like a copy of republican Rome. Heck, the builders of the British Empire also saw themselves as a continuation of a tradition, culture, and legacy built by Rome. Also, the English language is a bastard language - which might be labelled as "Anglo-Saxon" but it's more or less predominantly latin. Then you've to look at how the father of modern English language and literature, Shakespeare, also based most of his writings on Julius Caesar, Anthony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus. From the brief explanation I made...once you look at the architecture, language, art, western system of government etc.. You will definitely see a continuity from what the Romans built, to how it transcended into the British Empire - and a continuation of that legacy in America and today's western world. And I believe that was what Buzugee was alluding to - not the simplistic understanding these airheads are giving to it. If you're a history buff, you should be able to sift through all the extras in his posts - and get a clearer picture of what he's saying. Also, historians allude to this all the time. It was built in Rome. Expanded by the British Empire. And America continued the legacy. That's classical history right there for you. The messenger added the racial dimension and his own bias to it, but the parallels between the two empires are taught in classical history. And that is something the simpletons who run around this forum like a pikey will never know because of the lack of knowledge, and the simplistic way in which they translate everything.

EfemenaXY:whether you like it or not,the proliferation of semi-nude dressing, sensual dressing or any dressing that emphasizes sexuality whether it is perpetrated by men or women is actually sexual assault.Science ,religion and nature has proven that increased sensual dressing in any society has led to higher sexual consciousness resulting in proliferation of various sexual activities mostly of the immoral category |
