Hmmm, I hear say to marry wife or do wedding for nija na serious business investment. And for that reason alone you need some bard a *** money. Just like when you want to buy a car always make sure you have money for two cars , so you can buy the car with one part of the money and also maintain the car with what .. wahahla
By the time one thinks of catering, decors both interior and exteriors.. transportation, bridal train and the splendour, brilliance and magnificence attached to a wedding, person go don die, wake up, die again ,wake up and then migrate to Mali, sudan or chad!!!
Remember o, they haven’t even thought of bride price o (why you would put a price tag on your dota is way way beyond me….. not that dude wont pay , he sure will)..
And that all in one list of palm oil. 42 tubers of yam , bag of salt etc… I used to think back in da days that the yam was actually meant to be prepared for the guests. I never knew mama A, aunty B , mama mama’s ZYX will share the yams..until recently…
And then they fight over bride price.. serious fight o.. matter of fact some family members will go and retrieve the receipts right from when bride’s mother conceived, to the amount of baby food bought, down to university and khaki days(youth service). That’s probably how much u have to pay
So now instead of the family deliberating o sorry fighting/haggling/waring over the bride price. Now I hear some brides can choose how much they want as bride price.. scwwwwweeeps!!!
Lucky Is the guy whose bride to be asks for #25,000,000 as in 25milla naira cool cash..
For this credit crunch period, dude had better engage the services of Experian or so and do a thorough credit check on that babe….and she if she QUALIFIES, good. Sit down with her family and arrange a payment plan; preferably in instalment ….and please pay by direct debit. If you can pay by credit card , you get a discount and also get points on your tesco and nectar club cards.
Make sure you have insurance on wife to be just incase she cant cook to your standard, not good at house keeping , suddenly has sagged skins and skin discolouration due to beauty enhancement (bleaching) pimples, acne or waka – waka and away match. You can always request for her to be replaced or return her back to her family and request a refund. After all, guarantee is a life time
And errrnn (clearing my throat the posh way) just to remind you that after you pay the initial deposit and get the delivery of your consignment, remember you have no excuse to default on your payment. In the event of missing a payment your wife’s families have the rights to repossess their daughters by using the repo-man

o blama!!!!!
O BLAMA
CAN! YES WE WILL! YES WE HAVE!!!. CHANGE HAS COME
The much anticipated US election has come and gone now I can finally rest. I know it was tension bound, nerve wrecking, finger chewing moment, but what ever will be will be. Some people switched channels others just couldn’t be bothered. I wanted to be part of History and watch the event as it unfolded live. I watched, looked and analysed people’s reaction. But I am so happy for Obama o.. YES WE CAN!!!!
Gosh I wish martin king was still alive to witness this , but as the good book says in Habakkuk 2: 3
“for the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie: though it tarry wait for it; because it will surely come and not tarry”.
After Obama won some of the major cities and I saw the margin ,I knew he was in.
I turned in to bed at 3:40am, and then my phone rang at 4:25am telling me Obama won. yay way to go o
Some thing I realised was that the American election was never about color, it was more than that.
When the results were announced, there were tears of joy in Chicago (his home town). People were overwhelmed likes of Rev Jesse Jackson and Oprah were crying tears of joy.
The road may be long for Obama, he may not get there today, tomorrow, or this term ; but he will surely get there. Yes we can!!!
I’m glad I witnessed this in my life time…
Meanwhile, McCain says “we fought hard, the failure isn’t yours , but mine”
It looked like McCain was close to tears?
come to think of it, if hillary clinton had won the primaries and she had been the flag bearer for the democrats? if she had won this election she would have been the first female president and the trend would have been.. BUSH- CLINTON-BUSH- CLINTON. IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE.
but really , what do u think of this?
I am on my way to Chicago to be with the Obama family have lunch, cling champagne glasses. and hope to be in the white house on the 20th of january , God willing. right!!!
i only wish nigerians were more enthusiastic when it comes to our own politics?
and have they declared a public holiday for obama?
I hope McCain isn’t taking it too hard OOO
and finally, there IS a BLACKMAN in the WHITEHOUSE.. HIP ! HIP !! HIP!!! HOORAY. some people are asking for a BLACK QUEEN------ U WISH!!!!
IT WOULDNT BE A BAD IDEA TO HAVE A BLACK 007( HOME VIDEO PRODUCERS UR CALL)
While Obama has made history, and u r reading this and hoping this obama-bin presidentr frenzy dies down, I also have gone to make history
Yes we can!!!
Yes we will!!!
Yes we have!!!
God bless Obama
God bless Me
God bless us all

CHILD ABUSE OR WAT
CHILD ABUSE
I watched the channel 4 documentary on Nigerian children wu are branded witches, and I was silently praying and wishing my oyinbo friends will not see it but one did. I watched it and I was shocked. In this age and day people still practice such barbaric acts , gosh, it was depressing but I wanted to watch it to the very end.
Akwa ibom , cross river state was the focal point of the documentary of Nigerian children branded witches , where it was estimated that there were 2.3 million witches there. Which brings me to the question how many non witches are there?
There was a certain pastor who calls himself bishop boasted that he had killed over a hundred witches (souls of innocent children) , and he alleges that he can cure witchcraft with a special concotion of alcohol (African mecury) and his blood……..
gross, mega-gross
this bishop himself looked like someone in serious need of deliverance..
And also with about 400k (if I had that kind of money, that child can continue to be a witch). He could cure a child of witchcraft. But I thought witchcraft was spiritual.? Ignoramuses.!!!!!
I wonder how you define a witch? So when things do not go well for you and with you, the next thing to do Is to term a poor innocent child ?
One little girl had a 3inch nail on her head, another boy was set ablaze by his elder brother….
A certain woman who was widowed recently had to abandon her 2 children a ( 5 yr old and a 6 months old baby) reason , the 5 year old killed the father and has transferred the witchcraft to the baby sister.
So what brought about the whole scenario? it was about a certain preacher woman who obviously all her movies are about witches and has even gone ahead to write a book on how to identify witches. For example, when the child is crying at night and is running a fever….
And the people took a clue from that and started man-handling there children.
It was a depressing documentary that almost made me cry especially the case of the widowed woman whose girls were branded witches. The village took the 6 month old baby back, but refused to accept the other girl a 5yr old for crying out loud.
Is it child abuse or just plain ignorance?
Anyway , I am so glad the cross-river state govt passed a bill about it. Thankfully, some of the kids have re-united with their families, but others asre still being rejected.
