HOW WE MET
We met at Igbinedion University in 2003! We met at a mutual friends room by chance . My cousin told Yomi to look for me when he gets to Uni, and he told me the same too, just so we can be friends. However we never met, until that evening when I went to my friends room to beg for Indomie noodles.

Winning would be a dream to our family, friends and most especially both of us! We have been waiting for this for the past 10 years! Please vote for us!

If You Must Marry, Wait For The Right Person - Charly Boy To Singles

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 03:52 PM PDT


By Charly Boy

Wanting so badly to get hooked is something many people seem to take far too lightly and for granted these days. Something some of them feel they should do to win acceptance from people and society. These days' people look at the package and never the content, forgetting that marriage should be a life time commitment of two strangers. In some cases the marriage may workout, like, Charles and Diane, Tunde and Wummie. But most of the time it falls like a park of cards, because as people are rushing to get in, people are rushing to get out, at an alarming rate. Kai!!

These days break ups and divorce has become the trend as soon as the honey Moon is over. People use to think that divorce rate is only high amongst celebrities, but now, across board, couples are falling asunder,  going under the pressure of a very bad decision , just because they Must Marry.

In these hard times, people are blowing and burning pots of money on very fancy weddings that really don't last after the honey moon. In this age, some parents still pressure their daughters in getting married early. It's like, once your girl crosses the 30yrs bracket, they start to panic, getting anxious and putting pressure on their girl to get married, like it is that easy. She just can't go to the market and buy a husband, or can she? When the poor girl insists on finding her dream man, she is accused of being unserious. Parents please learn to back off joor, it's not by force. After all, are they the ones who will live with the spouse?

There is nothing wrong with waiting for the right person, because if it is the razzmatazz of the wedding things that you enjoy, go ahead and throw yourself a big nonstop party for a whole week. After all, weddings are just one day event, but a marriage is supposed to be a life time thing. I know that weddings are fun, romantic and you can finally tell your girlfriends, boyfriends or your sugar daddy's that you have finally captured your own 'mugu'. But has this guy been tried and tested? Dating and courting is a different matter from 'Till Death Do You Part'. Living with one human being for the rest of your life. My sister look the thing well oooo.

Bebe, do you have an idea how your guy functions in rough weather? When reality bites, is he calm or does he freak out? Do you share the same interest in some things? Bebe, before you rush into this marriage, it is important to learn where your partner stands on the bigger issues of your life together. Do you have the same values? Sit him down and have a long talk about these and other issues that are of importance to you, you may discover that chances of a long lasting marriage could be slimmer; women are intuitively wired to pick up these things. Are you a learner?

For me, I got hooked up with a woman I never saw coming and a woman I will never let go. When I met my wife, she was not even a girlfriend or a lover. I liked her physically, because she had and still have curves that men would die for, but she was never my idea of a wife. She kept hanging around like other beautiful women around me; it was more or less a platonic relationship. All the time I didn't know I was under the microscope of the FBI and the CIA. She was to tell me all this after our marriage.

Even though we dated for about 3yrs, in my wildest dream I never saw her coming till one morning after sleeping over, she woke me up, looked me straight into my sleepy eyes and demanded that I marry her in the next few days or she will leave me. Wow! Before then, no one ever threatened me like that, no one ever gave me ultimatums. Who born them? Me CharlyBoy?

Little did I know that this woman for years has been doing research on me, this woman has seen me 'finish', figured out how to arrest and deal with me. When I was much younger, I had a very violent temper, I was obnoxious. And she had witnessed me a few times in my rage with other women. "Ain't you afraid that I will hurt or harm you" to that she answered, "you can never hurt or harm me because I will never give you a reason to" hummmmmm!!!  Oh! See finish.

 Bebe, it's easy to know what you are getting into. If in doubt, investigate, set exams for the guy. I believe women are emotionally smarter than men. You must know who you want to marry, it's important for your happiness. You don't deserve scrap especially if you are hardworking, intelligent, progressive and forward looking. Investigate him from all angles, don't be in a rush joor. You don't deserve that heartache because the way marriages are crashing, it's making me catch cold.

With the way things are going, very soon we will be throwing divorce parties and inviting friends and well-wishers to celebrate divorce anniversaries. They will choose asoebe, hire a big hall, with Dbanj as the entertainer and Julius Agu as the MC. Even questions like, "when are you getting your divorce" will be the buzz.

So if you know you can't handle the pressure, remain single. If the man is still under investigation, please take your time, don't rush. If you know that you are too horny to be faithful, biko remain single and have a ball. If you can't endure bad weather from time to time, stay in your father's house joor. Never get married out of desperation or because other people are getting married.  If you want a beautiful home, like mine, examine your choice of a life partner, there are a lot of gigolos out there preying on desperate babes like you. But show them say you pass them. No be you?

What If Okwudili Umenyiora, an Ex-Convict Owns an Expensive House In Lekki?

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 04:01 PM PDT


So Okwudili Umenyiora, shown above in his mugshot, has been pointed to by those who allege to know as the owner of a very expensive private house located in Lekki and which pictures have been trending in the Nigerian blogosphere for the past few days. No one is sure how the pictures came online or whether in fact Okwudili is really the owner, but it seems some bloggers have taken time to do some background research on this guy.

As alleged by OMG Nigeria, Okwudili Umenyiora is listed by the Baldwin County, Alabama Corrections Center database, "as being that of a 'Fugitive From Justice' and on trial in Alabama for for running a big time check fraud operation, in which they used Nigeria's name as part of the pitch for their scam."

Okwudili Umenyiora now

Before


On the one hand, I'm happy some of us bloggers, like OMG and here, are thinking like journalists, but at the same time, I'm wondering at the timing of this news and how quickly everything unfolded. Could this be a set-up? Could some of his detractors be sending out all this news?

Even if it is true that Okwudili Umenyiora was a criminal in the past, hasn't he paid his dues by going to prison? Should a man's past be forever held against him? Where is the proof that the house belongs to Okwudili Umenyiora or that he built it with money made from credit card scams? Please let's be careful how fast we are to sling mud on ex-convicts.

For Ladies - Making it Less Complex When You Make The First Move To a Relationship

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 04:02 AM PDT


By Eniola Lawal

To all my ladies in the house! Making a first move to a relationship doesn't particularly mean asking a guy out or on a date, though it is the most outright first move. For those who think it is wrong and its not a noble act, well I say it all depends on your kind of person and mentality, and talking about your kind of person, will you just let it slip by? Why? Because you think the guy should come to you first? What if he hasn't noticed you, or he just doesn't see it? Remember, if you don't make him see it, he won't realize it.

So here's introducing, the "less complex" first move to a relationship. There is this new guy at work you're having a thing for, or there's this guy that comes regularly to the bar or your cousin's colleague or anybody.  If you'll allow me digress, I quite a lot disagree when it comes to office romance, because I believe it kills the spirit of business apart from the fact that some office policies are against it (if you think otherwise though, go ahead).

First of all be sure of what you want to get yourself into. Secondly, be kind enough to yourself to ask questions about this person, does he have someone in his life, is he not a person that's used to having flings and as such mistaken you for one? Bear in mind that if you don't get a positive answer, you'll just be strong and forget about it. If you've answered all properly, then you can try these:

1. Get his attention: Getting his attention covers it all, as I had earlier said, he may not have noticed you, or haven't thought about it, initiate a group lunch that will have him present, offer on neutral basis to help him with something he can't do because he is new around.

2. Remember, you cant afford to let him smell that desperate whiff of, "I have got something for you, can't you just feel the same?".

3. If you hang out socially together, don't be loud, but be conspicuous, initiate simple games which he'll participate in, try your best to beat him! He won't forget it, especially if he's the egoistic one, he'll always look for a way to beat you back and I'm sure he won't settle for draw.

4. Do things at your best, whether at work or play, go extra miles, deliver on whatever you're doing, dress smartly and beautifully than you usually do

5. Be cool, confident and detached, act like you don't care but be extreme fun to be with, its not a must you're the talking type, we all have our ways of being fun!

6. During  these interactions, be your real self, don't feign what you're not, your real personalty is what he's supposed to be attracted to, don't get it twisted.

This is not a tactic that is supposed to kick off all at once, when you try it that way,  it either blow your cover and screw you up, or get you a totally wrong attention from him. In short you should keep it to yourself, you can later give your bestie the gist of your game after it works out.  All these are to help him see reasons to be with you "if there is", and if he lusts after your real personalty, then let the game begin. We all know it takes two to tangle, and affections/feelings must be mutual, if after all he doesn't respond then he has no interest in taking anything to your own destination. Just wipe it off, and you'll be fine.

PS, I always insist, don't try the direct 'I like you and want us to be together' talk because if that doesn't work, it can be a disaster, when you get hit with the word NO. You've probably killed any friendship or professional rapport.

So make it less complex with these tips I listed. Who wants to add some more?
