Society : The Loft; A Review

Image
Princes Nsikak So a group of 5 very successful men decided to cheat on their wives. The architect among them found a big mansion where they can all take their one night stands to. . . This was to avoid lodging in hotels, or seen in drinking bars so their wives won't suspect them. . . They all loved their wives except one who got tired of his wife. One is an architect, let's call him ‪#‎A‬ One is a psychologist, let's call him ‪#‎P‬. The other is a lawyer, let's call him ‪#‎L‬ The other is a stock broker, let's call him ‪#‎SB‬ The last is a drug addict, let's call him ‪#‎D‬. . . It was the drug addict's wedding, he got married to a rich girl because her father is a drug lord. This he did so he could get access to drugs. She knows this but still went ahead with the wedding but he signed a pre-nup. On the day of the wedding, 'A' gave them the keys to the mansion. This came with rules. And the rules were, 1. They'd take turns to

Relationships : Men Can Be Unreasonable

Image
Canice Unreasonable Many men of nowadays want to marry working class ladies or rather wants their wives to work in other to support the family, which is quite Ok. But if a woman works as hard as the man does and they both provide food on the table,, how will she cope with all other house chores, like cooking, sweeping, and washing? The same man will still expect the woman to wash his clothes when on the other hand,, the woman does part of the mans duty. If the woman refuses to wash her husbands clothes on the condition of being tired from the weeks hustling and bustling,, she is regarded as a bad and disrespectful wife. Is it wrong for the man to also assist the wife on chores around the home????? . Why are some men so proud to do that,, yet they want a " working" class woman??? Where is the time the wife has,, the strength to cope??? I just tire o. *********************************** This is a hugely strong argument. E be like say na non-working class

The big debate: Can you be single and happy?

Is it possible for a spinster to be truly happy or fulfilled without a man or children in her life? About a year ago, Kate Bolick published a controversial book which argues that modem singletons are actually content with their lot. But is the author of Spinster: Making A Life Of One’s Own deluded? Or is she on to something? Taiwo, 52 this year,.bought and read the book almost immediately copies appeared on the bookshelves and told me .sadly, that she wasn’t all that ecstatic about being single in spite of her wealth. According to her, “A few weeks ago, I found myself in the middle of a room and my eyes pricked with tears. Mustering all my strength not to well up, I felt a gaping sense of loss. I was not at the funeral of a loved one, but at my friend’s son’s tenth birthday party, and I was the only woman there without an army of squabbling brats and a man to call my own. Most of my friends were there – a medley of middle-aged couples settled around the kitchen table, content and r

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.' The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?' She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he ha

He woke up in the morning and found her praying. He heard her praying for him.   He stared at her. It has been a long time since he has seen her praying. For the past few months, they have been arguing. Last night, they had a nasty fight.   He went downstairs in a hurry to prepare himself breakfast. These past days, she hasn't been cooking for him.   Shock on him. He found breakfast already set at the table. He ate.   He went back to the bedroom, to prepare for a shower.   She left the shower.   "Good morning. Have a blessed day" she said as she entertained the bedroom and he left for the bathroom.    After his shower, all dressed up for work; he found his wife at the kitchen, eating breakfast in peace. She was looking at some funny videos on her phone and giggling.   He looked at her then walked out the door. The last look he had of her before he left was of her at peace.   That last look disturbed him. This is not how she should be. This is not how she has been. He

Society : The Return Of The ‘Prodigal Husband, Beginning Of A Slattern Wife? Your Take!

IT was a busy time at the office and I’d left specific instructions with my secretary not to be disturbed – except she thought it was absolutely necessary. So, when she peeked tentatively into my office and I  scowled in disapproval, she quickly mouthed that Ini’s husband was at the reception area. love Ini, my very good friend’s husband? What the heck did he want? After frequent visits, to his home-town, the result of his clandestine visits had finally surfaced some few months ago. And who should let the cat out of the bag but some of his “respected” relatives who thought it was about time Ini knew her children had a half-brother. Without any warning of the impending bombshell, Ini was furious after the ‘meeting’. But her in-laws pompously warned her to get a grip on herself – her husband wouldn’t be the first man to stray from the straight and narrow. What was more, the son had a right to his father’s home – the home that was more Ini’s than her husband’s. For the next few

Society : Brilliant Liar? Your Take!

Canice At workplace one day, A close friend was called and queried about an act he committed. Infact, I was a witness to that act. He was indeed guilty. . Now, as the superior boss handling the query was getting angrier, trying to find out the truth from this young man, Something shocked me. The guy denied ever committing that act which I witnessed with my korokoro eyes. Infact, he swore with his late father's grave, much to my utter surprise. I stood there and couldn't say a word. Silently, I prayed I wouldn't be called to tell if he did it. I would have had to lie to protect my friend, but could I have lied as convincingly as he was doing? The shocked me couldn't have pulled that off successfully. Thank God I was not called upon. . Luckily, his tears and how he swore with tears rolling down his cheek from his reddish eyes, did a lot of convincing to the angry boss who dismissed everyone thereafter. . Truly, if I was the boss, I would have bel

Society : Agonies and joys of a septuagenarian father

What madness possesses pensioner  in his 70s  to start a second family when all his other children are full adults? Christopher, a fairly successful publisher was in his early 70s when he met his third wife, Clair who was then in her late 30s. By the time he was 76, they’d gone ahead to have two lovely children—a boy and a girl. According to Chris, “Besides the occasional blip, raising a child, no matter your age, is a huge pleasure. Feeding a baby its bottle is one of the great joys of life for a father, and one of the few things one ever does that is unquestionably useful. “Only, when you are in your 70s, levering yourself out of a deep settee afterwards and transferring the baby to its cot without waking it is quite a physical achievement. There’ve been many moments I have shared with my young children which never fail to bring a smile to my face—mainly because I never dreamt I would be experiencing such moments at this age, despite the fact that I have four grown up children an

Relationships : Things You Shouldn’t Do After You’re Married!

Image
Most women agree that being single can be a great part of life. You have the freedom to do what you want when you want without having to answer to anyone. While marriage is usually a happy and blissful state of being, there are some boundaries and rules that come along with it. Besides the obvious one of not having sex with other people, there are some other things you shouldn’t do once you’re married that are not as obvious. Have a look at some of them: You can no longer get falling down drunk: This doesn’t look too hot on a single woman, but to do it when you’re married is totally inappropriate. There’s nothing classy about staggering out of a club while your two girlfriends try holding you up. Use your bachelorette party to tie on your last one. Pajama parties with the girls are now out: When you’re single, it’s ok to stay out as late as you want with your girl pals. You can even have pajama parties when it’s too late to go home. When you’re married, you’ve got a husband and a

Society : Ese Oruru: Unanswered questions on my mind!

Image
It is obvious, that we are yet to hear the last of the Ese Rita Oruru and Yunusa Dahiru, a.k.a. Yellow. In the next couple of weeks when proper hearing should begin, we are surely going to be entertained to our hearts delight, from the ridiculous to the morbid and out rightly outrageous. But while we await these, there are still several questions in my mind begging for answers that may never be provided, at least, with the way many issues seem to have been twisted and wounded together, leaving one gaping in bewilderment and confusion. I have heard, witnessed and intervened in several run-away cases and I can assure you that every one has a peculiar twist of its own, Ese’s inclusive. Unfortunately, several issues compound Ese’s case, making it stand out like a sore thumb and a spectacle for the theatres, allowing our hypocrisy as a people rise to a ridiculous level. The Authorities While everyone has been trading blames back and forth on this Ese saga, the final buck seem to hav

Canice Two (2) Main Reasons Why Most Relationships Don't Last Up To One Month Nowadays. . (1). Within the first month, Either the guy or the lady would find out that he/she is not the only one in the picture, So why stay if I can't be the only one? . (2). Within the first month, "Somebody" must have given "Somebody" some bills to foot in order to gain financially from the relationship. "Na only love I go chop?" So, in order to avoid spending money that "he" doesn't have enough of, he stops picking calls and starts forming too busy. End of Relationship! . But if money dey, The above would not have been a problem at all. Romance without finance is nuisance. Haven't You Heard? . Money Answereth All Things... Lolzzz

Entertainment : IS THE WORLD READY FOR AN AFRICAN SUPERHERO?

Image
IS THE WORLD READY FOR AN AFRICAN SUPERHERO? Because Planet Krypton is so passé. In many ways, Wale Williams is your typical superhero. He begins life as an ordinary, utterly insignificant young man. Until, in the year 2025, Wale’s genius father mysteriously disappears, and Wale, in his search to find him, discovers a suit his dad left behind that gives the wearer special powers. When a villainous army of skeletal drones invades shortly after, the twentysomething uses his newfound powers to — spoiler alert — save the city. He is a protector of the innocent. Defender of the helpless. Destroyer of all evil. You get the picture. Tell us, though, where does that boy in your mind’s eye come from? The answer: Wale Williams is Nigerian, with dark skin, strong cheekbones and piercing eyes. His hometown, Lagoon, is to Nigeria’s Lagos what Gotham City is to New York, and the malevolent overlords looking to destroy the world take their cue from the terrorist group Boko Haram. As it turns

Relationships: The Rules Of The Game

Yetunde Arebi Sex means so many things to different people. To a large extent, what we think about sex and how we feel about it, depends largely on our individual experiences. While sex can be much fun and so, so pleasurable for some, others may find it uncomfortable and irritating, and some others, unbearable. However, sex is a game that comes with its own set of rules, and players need to try to abide by them. When these rules are breached, the partners are not likely to get the desired result. To get the best out of your partner, you must create an enabling environment to suit your purpose, and up your game at any given opportunity for a rump in the sacks. Sex While sex can become a routine exercise for those who are in long term relationships such as marriage and co-habitation, you still need to adhere to certain rules of the game if you don’t want it to become boring and eventually a domestic chore that must be performed, such as washing the dishes or tending the lawns.

Society : Jazz? Hypnosis? Your Take!

Princess Nsikak I grew up in the slums. I never really understood why my parents were very protective of me. I never understood why I was never allowed to play with kids or why I was never sent on errands. . . I never understood why my mom and dad always sat outside when I was finally given 20minutes to play with other kids. I never understood why they had to be so damn protective. And why most times my mom was happy I wasn't fat and grew breasts on time. I never understood why she was so damn protective and why my dad was strict. I guess now I know why. . . I was like the tiniest in the compound. The other kids that grew fat and didn't look their age were unlucky. First, it was a mature adult in his 30's doing some crazy shit to them and then one boy, one boy that was possessed. Actually, he's got to be possessed. Only possessed people acted like he did. . . He was the last out of 5 boys but turned out the black sheep of the family. Back then, I hear
