Society : When the wife fights back dirty!

Image
Lately, I’d been regaling Dolapo, a former colleague’s FWB (friends with benefits) of  decades, with tales of the escapades of some of my darling friends in recent months— especially in the last few weeks when a couple of them had virtually burnt their fingers with the spouses of their ‘bits-on-the-side.’ A few weeks after one of them, Kadijat had her annual birthday bash, when she almost got into hot water when Rex, her husband, who travelled showed up, she visited Jake, her lover and the ‘co-sponsor’ of her party. He had conveniently disappeared from the scene as soon as he saw Rex, to avoid any embarrassment. “It was the first time we would have a decent chat after the party/ Kadijat explained, “and we were theorizing on what could have happened if we’d been caught red-handed by Rex, when Jake’s wife virtually burst into his office. I’d seen her vaguely at one or two parties, sullenly looking my way as if daring me to say something untoward.   But, what could I have to say to

WHATEVER your view on sex is, the fact remains it’s recently been stripped of its cloak and dagger mystery. Where men once bragged of the number of notches on their bed-posts, women now don’t see sex as a ‘chop and wipe mouth’ phenomenon. They see it as of right – they want it, if it’s available, they take as much as they want. No guilt. Just emotional satisfaction. Ini and I were at Lilians recently and, naturally the banter skirted around sex. Lilian’s cousin Betty’s ‘problem’ came up for serious consideration. According to Lilian, Betty believes her body was made for sex! “Only, Betty doesn’t know the enormity of the type of fire she’s playing with,” sighed Lilian. “She confessed she’s addicted to sex because whenever the opportunity of having a shag presents itself, she said she couldn’t stop herself from taking it. She is seemingly happily married to a responsible man. They have three lovely kids and a good sex life. Betty is an assistant director in one of the ministries and

Relationships : Tips for dating a Nigerian woman

Image
Dating a typical Nigerian lady can be a topsy-turvy experience especially for a man who is just wetting his feet in the dating game.  Normally, women are complicated beings let alone a Nigerian woman who has so many  challenges to deal with like an unstable economy, family, tradition, ethnicity, religion, peer pressure, biology and much more. All these factors conspire to influence whoever she will date. The average man with his chauvinistic African mindset or perception does not understand this and expect this type of woman to accept him hook, line and sinker. Little does he know that the days of parents marrying wives for their kids is old skool and that most women know what they want. If you want your relationship to blossom with a typical Nigerian woman, Give her money to make her hair Didi, Shooku, and Patewo are traditional hairstyles in Nigeria but young women prefer the Brazilian hair, the deft Ghana weaving, and attachment because it makes them appear sophisticated.

Relationships : What Qualifies As Cheating?

Canice When most Naija babes that are in serious relationships have a fling with a guy they really like, To them, That can never translate to CHEATING. . Again to them, Cheating is when they emotionally get into another relationship with another guy. . Flings are just normal phenomenon to them. . So when you (mr boyfriend) start flaring up cos you suspect her of sleeping with fine bobo or that rich dude somewhere... She 'll be like in her heart; "My friend, stop making a fool of yourself... You should be grateful I still have feelings for you... Be grateful" hehe . I'm still studying naija babes sha... I no sure say I go graduate for this course, Lwkm

Canice BREAKING COMMON-SENSE !!! . A man that sex is his priority should not have a girlfriend. I repeat, you don't need a girlfriend. What you need is Runs babes OR A FLING-MATE. (That's cheaper)lol . There are lovely girls everywhere that are ready to help out with just your little token. They re in your streets, on Badoo, on facebook, everywhere. . Some guys that need sex so badly even lie to themselves; "I don't do runsgirls" And in self-deceit, they go and woo a runsgirl without knowing. That is, they get for themselves girlfriends who are runs-girls. Yet, they don't do runsgirls. Lmao . The truth is; A girlfriend should not be just for sex. If sex is all you want, What you need is not a girlfriend. You need a runs girl to help you out. Na your money sha. . Girlfriends are for company (sexual and non sexual alike) and commitments necessarily. Commitment is the landmark of serious relationships. Not for sexual rumps and flings

Society : Marriage matters; really?

Image
It’s a known fact that more and more couples live together yet never marry, often in partnerships that dissolve with depressing speed and regularity. These types of couples are called Rainbow families, consisting of a mother and an array of children fathered by different men. Even the words: husband and wife; are gradually dropping out of our vocabulary and the word, ‘partner’ is seen as a modern replacement. It describes all couples, even if they are husband and wife. Does it matter—this steady erosion of a time-honoured institution? After all, if people live together, have children together but never get around to tying the knot, isn’t that much the same thing as marriage anyway? According to an increasing number of a group of academics and policy makers all around the world, more emphasis should be placed on the slogan—Marriage Matters. Some of the home truths these professionals want to spread is the fact that children raised in two-parent homes are far more likely to do w

Education : Nigerian Teen gets accepted by all eight Ivy League schools

Image
There must be something in the water at Elmont Memorial High School. For the second year in a row, an Elmont Memorial High School student has been accepted to all eight Ivy League schools. Last year, the Long Island high school's salutatorian Harold Ekeh chose to attend Yale University after having his pick of all eight Ivy League schools. This year, Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna, Elmont's valedictorian, will face the same decision. "Having two students get accepted into all eight Ivy League institutions in back-to-back years is humbling but also speaks to the incredible commitment to children by the families and staff within the EMHS Community," said Kevin Dougherty, Elmont Memorial High School principal. Uwamanzu-Nna was also accepted to the four additional schools to which she applied. The experience has been surreal, Uwamanzu-Nna said in a press release. "My recent accomplishments reflect the hardworking ideals of the town of Elmont, my supportive parents a

A man’s wife is his possession. She is part of his investment. He believes that by the virtue of anointing her as his wife, he has elevated her status amongst her peers and accorded her a respectable position in society. No matter how he treats her,  it is around her that he builds his empire and nurtures his desires and hopes for the future. The fruits of his labour are expended on his wife and the fruits of their loins, with the belief that they will be the joys of his old age. No matter the circumstances or situation of their relationship, whether good or bad, this oftentimes does not erode her value or undermine her position in his home and life. For as long as she remains the chosen one, she is expected to be out of reach for other men. Being a Mrs is no mean tag. An exalted position such as wife, must also come with its demands and responsibilities and one of them, if not top on the list, is fidelity: the resolve to preserve one’s self and body to the service of another.

Canice Though a Polytechnic graduate, Eddie found himself working with a computer institute. Under-employment was an under-statement, as he only earned 10,000 naira as his monthly stipend. He was not getting any younger, with so much need to settle down as a man, he became an ardent church woshipper. Eddie needed a miracle so badly, and so fast too. . Pastor Kola would always give them a prayer point; "Oh God, Re-direct my footstep to my destiny". Eddie never joked with this prayer point. If only God will just re-direct his footsteps towards a bigger job. Eddie was optimistic. . It was another monday morning when Eddie reported to work in order to start up another computer lecture for his new students, suddenly his boss, Mrs Kike, who was downstairs inside her car asked for a staff to call Eddie for her. Bewildered, Eddie rushed downstairs to see "madam" only to be tongue-lashed by Mrs Kike for failing to hear his name all the while she was calling

Bunmi Sofola We all have at least one friend like Cynthia. The type of friend you’ve had for years but who could still drive you mad. The  last time I called at her place, her ‘bossom’ friend Yinka was around. More of a scrounge, she always agreed to whatever Cynthia said, forever grateful for her cast-offs. We’ve all known each other since secondary school and whilst we’ve all had our stints at marriage, Cynthia’s marriage is one of the few still standing – naturally. Her husband, hard working and ambitious finally moved his family to an impressive looking ‘villa’ on the smart part of the Island. It was Cynthia’s turn to host the old students’ meeting and she waited until most of us were around before she announced the family would soon be off on holidays, pointing to a new set of four suitcases she’d discreetly displayed in the lounge. “A luggage set!” Yinka whooped, her voice dripping with envy. Most of us pretended we didn’t notice. “Why would she need four suitcases to travel

Just An Afterthought : Should Christians Celebrate Easter? Your Take!

Image
Most Christians are unaware that Easter is a pagan festival surreptitiously merged with Christianity. Easter is not a Christian holiday. The word Easter is not even scriptural; it does not exist in true translations of the bible. Easter was smuggled into the King James Bible in Acts 12:4, where it was substituted for the original word; “Passover:” “When (Herod) had apprehended (Peter), he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.” As a matter of fact, the word Easter only appears in the King James Version of English bible translations. It does not exist in any other English bible translation. Even the King James Version was forced to remove it from its revised version, known as the New King James Version. Queen of Heaven Most Christians are unaware that Easter is a pagan festival surreptitiously merged with Christianity. Noah’s son, Ham, married a woman called Ashtoreth. In some cu

Relationships : When it’s magnanimous to forgive and forget!

Familiarity not only breeds contempt, it also breeds a hotbed of opportunities for unfaithfulness. The more close-knit a crop of friends are, the wider the chances of swopping partners, albeit discreetly. Tope’s recent experience, however, took the cake when it comes to how far you can go in forgiving a friend who ‘snatched’ the partner you believed you could have married. A few of us were in a ‘no-party-this-weekend’ drinking and gossiping session when Tope suddenly invited me to one of her friends’ house-warming party a few days away. I’d never heard her mention this particular friend and no wonder because when I asked her who she was days later on the way to this friend’s place, Tope actually looked a bit pensive. “I’ll tell you all about her on the way but I need you to come with me for much needed support.” We’ve never stood for ceremonies when going out on the spur of the moment. As we nestled in the back seat of the car, Tope told me this friend, Cecilia, was once a close f
