LIFE PARTNER: Beauty or Brains?

                                     Via bellanaija.com

From a male perspective.

Gone are the days when a woman’s beauty was a major criterion in marriage. Far back in the eastern region, women had to undergo the fattening room/beautification process to look desirable and attractive to suitors because men were ONLY interested in a woman’s superficial features. She could be dim-witted, but as long as she’s got curvy legs, long hair and pointed nose…she’s a wife material!

A woman’s intelligence and reasoning power didn’t matter so much to men of old, after all she’s just a woman! His property! An ornament (or so they thought). All a woman had to do was bear kids and raise them, farm and cook. She wasn’t needed in any decision-making or any discussion that involves thought process.

                                                                                                                     Via iroy.in

Times have changed. In this present day, Should a woman’s beauty still be a man’s focus and reference point when picking a life partner? …Yes! Should it be the only reason why he’d desire to wife her?…hmm..No! No! No! It’s brains over beauty for me anyway.

Beauty without brains for wives worked backed then when women were regarded as properties acquired by men. Presently, I believe marriage flows and works out well when the woman’s intelligence matches the man’s own, since each person contributes towards shared future goals. When the woman is smart, a great thinker and a go-getter, Damn!!!..she keeps her man on his toes.

                                Via konnectafrica.net

Real men know the value of ladies with substance, regardless of their looks. They’re treasures! They bring out the best in a man. Not when a man is talking about the next big move to make in business or discussing the way forward in life, the wife who’s a ‘bimbo’ has nothing reasonable to bring to the table! Rather, her mind is preoccupied with the latest weaves, makeup and handbags in stores.

                                         Via kemifilani.com

I’m not saying beauty, good shape, hot legs doesn’t count when picking a life partner, but beauty with substance is a PLUS!

FREAKY FRIDAY: Top 5 Freaky Habits

                                                           Via bbhxmnstr.deviantart.com

You look good outwardly, you’re handsome, pretty, chic, well mannered, civil..what have you! But uhhmm…Truth is, we’re all freaks in our closet! We do certain things when no one is watching and still keep up appearances. We do things that people would swear we’ll never do.

Today, I’ll expose some of our freaky lifestyles/habits.

5. Scratch and sniff:

This one is common with guys. Most guys may be itchy down south (you know where I’m talking about) and it’s worse when it happens in a public place. So what do you do? You place your hand deep inside trouser pocket, someone may mistake it for swag, but guys…we know the truth! Your fingers go down there through your trouser and soon as you locate the wahala region, nna eh.. The kain wicked scratching wey u go do eh! Even DJ Jimmy Jatt no scratch reach u sef.

                                                              Via italknaija.wordpress.com

Damn! The itch could be so severe and you may need to scratch your stuff for real. If you got the privacy, you take off your pants and scratch the hell out of it. After scratching you sniff your fingers to know how it smells like! Abi na lie?

4. Pick and flick:

haha! Some folks can’t help sticking their fingers in the nostrils when they’re lost in thought. It’s a bad habit. I have no idea what they intend finding inside the nose, with the way they dig with all seriousness. Abi na gold dem dey find?

                            Via kokofeed.com

 

When they finally bring out the juicy sticky booger from inside the nose, they roll it into a little ball and flick it! Na so the thing go fly for air kon land for anoda person body…Ewww! Freaks!

3. Gas producers:

Some people are walking gas plants. They can mess for Africa, especially naija babes. Forget their ‘forming‘ and ‘effizy‘, If you know how they fart ehh, you’ll be amazed.

                                                                    Via informationng.com

The worst is, they do it silently and act like “it wasn’t me,” How do they do it? It’s either they’re seated then shifting slightly on one side of the hip and slightly raise one leg up OR they make sure their legs are well parted. Either way, they release this concentrated-silent gas that goes straight to the atmosphere at rocket speed. No one will ever know it came from a Natasha, Annabelle, Sophia or Cynthia! Guys are usually the first suspect. Naija babes I throwey salute for una.

2. Chew and spit:

As grown as we are, most of us can’t help nibbling on our fingers. Some people love chewing their nails at every chance they get. I no know whether we go call am hunger abi na long throat. Me sef I’m guilty oh, God help me!

                                                                                Via naijadailies.com

The worst is after chewing it, they spit it out carelessly…You see some people spitting ‘pia pia pia‘ while chewing their nails. Sometimes it lands on people’s faces without them knowing.

1. Smellos:

I’m back to guys again! Some guys ehh, to wash their boxers na war. They’ll wear the same boxers for one week till the inner rubber linings turn black. Oh no..Shebi we’re in harmattan season, before some guys wash their boxers, they may have to smell it to know if it’s dirty.

                                                                Via weddingdigestnaija.com

TAKE NOTE: If you’re not guilty of at least ONE of these freaky habits, you’re not a human being. You should be arraigned and probed in the court of law.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!! Are your Christmas clothes ready?

                                                                               Via en.wikipedia.org

When I reminisce about the good old days, I feel like becoming a kid again.
By this time many years back, our festive season clothes and under wears would’ve been sorted out and folded neatly in a box, to be worn particularly on Christmas day. Mum just knows what to do with us to make us look great on the 25th of December! Even till date, she’s got eyes for quality clothes than I could ever have.

 

Let’s just say i’m still a mess when it comes to bargaining and picking out good clothes in the market. I tend to fall for the sympathetic stories and tricks traders pull on naïve buyers…but my mum! Ha! No way! She always holds her own in the market. She already has her own price in her head and most times, she ends up pricing goods to the least Naira value, at the end of the day she walks away victoriously with bags full of items. That’s a natural skill my mum possesses!

                                                                    Via www.naijadeevas.com

So back to my childhood story…
As Christmas day approaches, mum would plan a shopping trip for everyone, usually at Balogun market. For christmas, the boys in the house (my brother and I) usually get clothes with similar designs and pattern. I remember those pair of lascoste shirts and rugged denim trousers i owned back in 1997 or thereabout. It was the best wear I ever had for Christmas!
Mum preferred my brother and I wore identical outfits, even though we weren’t twins. Probably for us to develop the brotherly bond, but it was cool anyway.
She also did the same with my two sisters. The same Christmas hair style, same shoe, same cloth, same everything!

                                                                        Via www.pinterest.com

I still remember those Christmas canvas shoes with flashing red lights (electric shoes). Those shoes you walk in and while you’re stepping on them, you feel like a real nigga…you feel on top of the world because the shoes have a way of announcing your presence. I miss them shoes!

 

For Christmas, my two sisters would get those flowery ready-made chiffon Cinderella gown with matching hat and sling purse, to go with a pair of computer socks and duchess shoes.
They end up looking like ‘Queen Eliza’ in London.Back then we couldn’t wait to put on our Christmas clothes, cos it was our moment to showcase to friends what dad and mum bought for us!

           Via www.pinterest.com

Too bad we’re all grown now…No one really cares about what we’ve got to wear for Christmas. It sucks to be an adult! *sad face*

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: A Reason To Move Out.

                                                                  Via naijagists.com

As soon as this gory pictures hit the internet, it garnered different reactions. It got me wondering why a man would conspire with his brothers to hack his wife to death with a cutlass? The woman he once loved and cherished with all his heart. Not even stopping to think for a second about the fact that she’s someone’s daughter, sister and friend? There’s no level of offence or provocation to justify this act.

In the news the other day, a man yanked off his wife’s ear with a plier! Oouch! Not forgetting Dr Hestiana Thomas, the LUTH consultant who has been sent to her early grave in a case of domestic violence.

                                                                                     Via lindaikejiblog

Personally, I see no reason why a woman should remain with a man who poses potential danger to her life. I’m talking about a quick tempered, wife-beating excuse for a man. Some women will insist on remaining in same home with a beast on religious grounds or because the society frowns at divorce. That’s like willingly choosing to be in bondage!

The African woman believes in standing for her marriage and not jump on the bandwagon of moving from man to man or go back to her parents house, when trouble is brewing in her marital home. Reasons could be, the shame and gossip that would follow after.

                                                                                               Via pulse.ng

So even if oga turns her to a punching bag, she’s ready to take him back 20 times. If you ask me, that’s an archaic mentality. You don’t remain the faithful, dutiful, long suffering virtuous wife in the face of domestic violence! Some women who remained with such men didn’t live to tell the story. Be liberated!

I respect anybody who’s willing to fight for their marriage in spite of the problems they encounter. After all, you told the lord you would!!! Yet I’m sure you didn’t promise Jesus that you’ll be a martyr. I’m tired of hearing sad stories about women being manhandled by their husbands and murdered in a gruesome manner.

                                                                                     Via omojuwa.com

A man who lays hands on his wife DOESN’T love her, and when there’s no love in a marriage it shouldn’t continue…to avoid stories that touches the heart.

The Technical Virgin

 

                                                                     Via bebeakinboade.com

 

Hey folks, I know this topic is quite controversial so you can take everything I’ll say with a pinch of salt.
A friend of mine asked if a girl can still be called a virgin if she’s had every kind of sex apart from vagina penetration. Your opinion is welcome, but this is what I have to say.

 

                                Via aspilos.wordpress.com

While some females abstain from sex and save themselves for religious reasons, some also who are in relationships would engage in every sexual activity, except sexual intercourse because they believe their hymen is strictly reserved for their husbands. These ones still believe they’re virgins. Females like this who wouldn’t want to go too far can be described as “technical virgins“.
What is too far? Penis-in-vagina intercourse!
The technical virgin feels it’s safe to kiss, perform oral sex, fondle, or engage in “harmless exploration.”

                Via infocong.blogspot.com

Hmm…Well, Why a female who does the aforementioned still thinks she’s a virgin as long as she’s not had intercourse, beats me! It beats me!  So other sexual activities don’t count against your virginity?, only sexual intercourse is the most sacred? Really?

If you decide to keep your hymen intact and unbroken on religious grounds, don’t you think you’re not keeping yourself sexually pure by engaging in other forms of sex?
If a technical virgin would give her man everything including oral sex, I don’t think it’s appropriate for her to still believe she’s being conservative for not allowing penetrative sex.

                             Via aspilos.wordpress.com

Your Virgin Power isn’t just about your kept vagina! I believe that a virgin is one who’s never had anything sexual with a man.

Most females who claim to be technical virgins are only lying to themselves. Cos technically, they’re no virgins.

The Craze For A Ring.

                                               Via the-engagement.com

The Nigerian society of today has largely placed our single ladies under pressure of marriage. When a lady gets to a certain age, usually 25 yrs and above, she is expected to have a man put a ring on her finger and answer ‘Mrs’…Whether such man exist or not, it’s no one’s business. Just get married and have kids like your mates!
Either she conforms to the pressure from family and friends or face the wrath.
It becomes worse for a single lady when Bimbo, Ngozi and Cynthia have all gotten married with kids and husbands they make sure to flaunt on social media, while you’re yet to find your own soul mate.

                                                                                       Via stargist.com

Then comes the cyber stalking by your nosy married female peers who are active on social media. After dealing with pressure from the home front, u go still kom jam anoda round online. Na so your married friends go dey show themselves. Some go even dey monitor you for Facebook and twitter.
“Babe how far na, when we go come do aso-ebi?”
“Cecilia, you know my hubby just bought me another car…thank God for the man he gave me oh.. ”

They rub it in your face that they’re married women with the best hubbies, dream families and happy homes,While you’re missing out on the sweetness of life. They indirectly shame other women who are single BY CHOICE or nature.
When their own men is probably trying to hit on that single lady behind their back. Lol…

                                                                Via post-nigeria.com

Nothing is so annoying as the condescending attitude some women portray after they become a man’s wife. Suddenly they feel on top of the world, as if they’ve achieved a feat or broken world record by getting married.
These women are the ones who are quick to tell every other unmarried lady “you are not getting younger oh!” And then give these single ladies this *I’m better than you* stare.
Wait…You got the ring first, so what?
Some would act like the best thing that ever happened to them in life is getting a WEDDING RING and a man. I know say e dey shack for head..but my dear easy jare!. A frustrated single sister somewhere may have no choice than to settle for anything to say she’s got a “boo” or a “husband” as well, because of your unnecessary ‘shakara‘ and ‘busybody‘.

                                                                                 Via saintexcel.com

My candid advice is, Stop pressuring people to get married. It pays to mind your business. Stop acting high and mighty because a man claimed you.

Marriage is not a competition.

FREAKY FRIDAY: The Haunted House

                                                              Via glitter-graphics.com

How do you explain it to anyone that the house you just moved into is being haunted by the scariest ghosts? It doesn’t even sound believable, rather it sounds like something straight out of a horror movie or probably an adventure game, right?
Who’s going to hear me out without advising that it’s time to put my clinic cards to use, after all Mental illness is real…but then, so are ghosts! Believe me.

I just moved into a two bed room apartment in Benin city. Since then, I’ve never had peace.
I usually pray the day never draws to a close because of the unusual events that take place at night. I always dread midnight hours cos that’s exactly when the whole ghost drama begins.
Footsteps are often heard throughout the
house, along with music and the crying of a newly born baby and it gives me an eerie feeling for as long as the night would last.

                                                                   Via thelocalny.com

Tonight’s scenario is the worst of all. As the moon appeared through my window curtains, I could see this big monstrous looking, ugly bird beside my window, it wouldn’t stop hooting.
Just as I was about walking toward the window to “shoo away” the strange bird,
This wild wind kicked in and flung open my window which I’m sure was already locked and hooked.
I became frightened to death as I ran back to my bed.

I could hear men and women wailing in agony and singing from different corners of my apartment.
I was covered in my bed sheet, sweating profusely with my heart racing within my chest.
What happened next was scary as hell. Windows and doors were being opened and shut when no one else was in the house with me.
“Can I just die already?” I thought.
I could hear running water filling the bathtub. Apparently no one turned it on…
Now it dawned on me that strange creatures are in this house.

                                                                    Via huffingtonpost.com

Trembling in fear as i stepped out of my room into the dark corridor leading to the bathroom.
“Holy Michael!” I gasped in horror as I flicked on the light and opened the bathroom door.
The bathtub and the whole tiled floor was all red, as blood gushed out of the tap and seeped through every opening and corners of the bathroom…
There was a bloody inscription on the wall which read;

“THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING“

                                                                  Via subodhshetty.com

My knees grew weak, I let out a brief, shrill cry and passed out.

BEARD GANGS!!!

Beards is back! Beards is the new sexy.

I still think the beauty of a man is his beard because it depicts manliness (sorry clean shaved guys like me). It’s no news that women love bearded men because bearded men exude a certain appeal. In fact only few female folks will admit that the attractiveness of a man’s face lies in how fuzzy it is. Naija babes know this, even though they wouldn’t admit it shaaaa.

“… 2 b fine boy no be beans…”

In recent times there’s been an increase in the number of guys we call “beard gang.” These descendants of Ojukwu have been rocking their beards confidently, in expression of their personalities and style.

Well sadly, most folks have issues with this cool trend called “beard gang.” I’ve found that Nigerian parents and elderly folks in general ain’t cool with their wards growing and grooming beard all over the face.

“… I Balance Well…”

As soon as they spot a little goatie on the faces of their sons, they freak out! Na so body go just dey bite them. If u kon turn ‘beard gang’ dem go say dia pikin don join cult oh...Immediately, there are calls for prayers and counselling. lol.. Everyday you wake up to the same advice. “Your beard is overgrown..trim your beard and look decent!” Oosssh! Let them be jare!

“… Beard + Singlet= Ladies Man…”

What’s really wrong with something as beautiful and innocent as growing beards? Why does our society see it as a sign of disrespect, irresponsibility and waywardness? Why do we assume that the guys with full beard must be the bad guys?…What has beards got to do with decency?

If you ask me, absolutely nothing! Fashion ain’t limited to clothes and accessory. Beards can be fashionable as well.

“… School of Long Beards…”

Let the beard gangs live!
