All – Found this interesting article over at my favorite truth shop - www.boundless.org Comments anyone? Show some respect. When it comes to respecting women, many Christian guys act no differently than the world. When I hear a man talk about other women disrespectfully, it is an immediate turn-off. Some guys will pour on the charm when they take a girl out on a date, but they don’t demonstrate the same consideration to their female friends. Even something as simple as keeping his house clean, so women feel comfortable when they visit, will make the women in his life feel valued. ...

WOW – tot I’d gone AWOL before but this certainly tops them all – No fault of mine though, my lousy ISP here in 9ja decided they needed to switch their US based service provider - and it took them over 1 month to sort out – Well - its good to be back and tho i hate to admit it - the speed’s a tad bit faster now… Hopefully when the MTNs and GloMobile’s of 9ja decide to turn on the HSDPA switches, they’ll price it within the reach of the avergae 9ja guy and we’ll not be dependent on these half-baked ISPs anymore..

Attended a friend’s wedding fairly recently…Saw a lot of old chums, all nicely dressed, sweet looking gentlemen now – a far cry from the rowdy rabble we were a few years ago on campus. Guess the last time we saw ourselves in that number at one time was way back then in the Uni days.. We talked a lot about a lot but ultimately the discussions gravitated towards the “new life” our man had just stepped into – marriage – and the difficulties in meeting “good girls” at our stage of life. Young up and coming guys who are perceived to be doing well have the unique disadvantage of being seen as “arrived” and thus as good prospects. ...

Sincere condolences to Chelsea and their “born again” fans - people who in the vast majority have been converted by a certain Russian’s billions. Once again on the European stage Benitez has proved to be the master of Mourinho over two legs. Granted Liverpool never looked like scoring at Stamford Bridge (aside of the sublime moment of magic from Steven Gerrad) but Chelsea were also at best lethargic at Anfield. ...

I am still reeling from the sham called elections that were held in Nigeria this month. The flagrant abuse of power on the part of PDP, the lack of a credible opposition response and the total disregard of the 60 million (really?) registered Nigerian voters have combined to leave a sickening feeling in the depths of my guts.. I’ve had time to think through the whole process though and find the following salient points worthy of note 1. The PDP won only because they rigged more - every other party with the exception of possibly FRESH and Pat Utomi - attempted to put in place structures to aid and abet rigging in their favor. The PDP landslide only happened because they had more muscle 2. Most of the opposition candidates only featured on the platform of the oppostion because they were unable to gain a toehold in the party that had the “powers that be” in each region. 3. No credible plans and agenda were articulated by the vast majority of persons standing for election. ...

I’m the guy next door; the one who merges seamlessly into the flurry of life in a mega city… Nothing spectacular, middle class, fairly well paid (at least well off enough to eat and drink and do whatever i want to do including vacation in the US, South Africa, Australia or wherever the next big thing is……) I’m in my mid to late 20’s, single – make that very single – don’t know anymore if it was more a decision or I’ve just found myself single till now… Neither drink nor smoke (not blaming those who do), kind of shy (or reserved if you’re the type who calls a spade a digging implement) and above all anonymous, lost in the bowels of a mega city. ...
