New Video: Dr SID – When the Song Comes On

Dating Options: The Nigerian Factor
Okay, so we all know that
being single in our culture
after a certain age is like
driving around in a car
with a manual transmission
and no air-conditioning
…yep not life threatening
but frustrating as heck
and sometimes disheartening.
Finding the right partner
is certainly not an easy
road to navigate, however,
I feel like the level of difficulty
is increased exponentially
in Nigeria.
Prior to moving back
to Nigeria, I had heard
all these amazing stories
about how people moved
back and got married
within 6 months and so on. One story in particular stuck in my mind. This girl, was just
hanging outside her house when her neighbour came by to say hi with a friend of his.
I imagine megawatts of “thunder and lightning” must have occurred, because after dating
said friend seriously (I mean seeing each other everyday and all the other typical
aspects of being in a relationship) for 6 months, he proposed and the rest as they say
is history – introduction, engagement, wedding and the whole nine yards.
I repeated this story and many others to my wide network of girlfriends and we
did a lot of oohing andaahing over how romantic these stories were, oh, I forgot to
mention that this was during the “innovative” period of wedding websites.
I can’t tell you how many hours I spent going to these sites and looking at all
the lovely pictures and reading the various “how we met” stories. I was definitely
an old school romantic … sigh.
So of course my girls and I would go on about how lucky women at home
were with so many “hot” Nigerian men to choose from…right … WRONG!
What people forget to mention is that sure there are men a dime a
dozen, however how many of them areELIGIBLE?
Okay so let’s get some definitions going …

Dayo deneye and Keke Ogungbe debunk split rumours
Mudi to to sue magazine over gay story
Mudi is pained about the report which he has described as not only malicious but the highest attempt at mischief and has asked his lawyer, Festus Keyamo to sue the magazine if they don't retract the story and publish full page apologies in national dailies.
I've known Mudi for over 12 years...was his muse for many years...there's no truth to this gay rumours. I'm in the fashion/modeling industry and I know the gay people...Mudi ain't one of them.
