It’s either, am pregnant or someone is pregnant is for me because I have been craving some really odd meals at very odd times of the day.  Like craving Pounded yam and Onugbu soup by 8:00am and then craving Beans & Garri by 8:12am.  I don’t know what the problem is but I plan to figure it out.

Talking about craving, I’ve heard pregnant women crave/like the oddest things. I once heard about a certain woman whom during pregnancy discovered that she liked the smell of the toilet. So, most of the time; she will sit in the toilet to inhale her favourite smell of all times. Dear God, please let my wife’s pregnant craving be the hatred money.

Last night’s craving was Surulere’s Akara, fried yam and plantain. I called a cab and headed off to Surulere.

I was jejely buying my Akara when the couple came. He wanted Akara and Yam but she wanted only plantain. He suggested that they buy few slices of yam and more plantain but she said, they should just get plantain and go. After few minutes of English speaking and a little Yoruba, they ended up buying N150.000 plantain. He sacrificed his yam for her plantain and she wouldn’t even let him buy a piece for himself.

The event got me thinking about relationships and how much we are willing to give/do to make IT work.

I’ve been in all sorts of relationships and have also witnessed different ones. Some good, some wonderful and some made in hell.

Recently, I heard about a relationship of 2 years that currently ended and the dude is planning a thanksgiving. He stays in Lagos while she lives in Abuja. During their 2 years relationship, she only slept in his house 3 times because she said she was not comfortable with the fact that he was staying in a single room, self contained.

He would buy her flight ticket from Abuja to Lagos and back, pay for hotel accommodation, Red cab and food. She was not really into the TFC/KFC things; she only loved food associated with countries such as Thailand, China et al.

On his visits to Abuja, he would also pay... READ MORE

Tonto Dike speaks openly about her tattos



Tonto Dike has always been a controversial image in the Nollywood scene. To be honest, I have nothing against her, she connects with her fans and is a nice individual. LET THE GIRL GET A TATTOO THAT COVERS HER FACE IF SHE WANTS, it really doesn't bother me. I am quick to watch a film with Tonto on the cover... that's all that matter to me. Golden Icon sits down with Tonto Dike, where she talks about her tattoos and the controversies surrounding it. And get this, she isn't stopping on just 57 stars, 57 letters and a massive image on her back. Do your thing miss

Tuface Idibia and Pero Adeniyi are not engaged, in fact, Tuface is not engaged!

Guys, enough of the silly rumours that Tuface Idibia and one of his baby mothers, Pero Adeniyi, are engaged.
Sooo... a couple of days ago, many critics and bloggers posted up the reason behind the rumor (Image Above).

I decided not to blog about it because I wanted to hear from the horses mouth. To cut the long story short, 2face Innocent Idibia is not engaged. It rather shocked me when I heard he was because a few week back, he had an interview and clearly stated that marriage isn't on his mind at all right now. He's a great dad and artist, he should keep going with those, but he has promised us that he will be the one to announce his engagement.
His rep added "...any tweet, fb message, bb broadcast, from any woman claiming to be engaged to the music star should be disregarded. When Tuface gets engaged, he will make the announcement himself."

LOVE ME, FEED ME, FUCK ONLY ME; by Breezi


LOVE ME, FEED ME, FUCK ONLY ME   

So urm, do relationship quotes annoy you? I don’t know if I’m speaking for myself only when I say; today’s idea of a perfect relationship sucks Camel balls! Oh wait, do perfect relationships exist sef? I wasn't gonna make any twitter references but urm, the shit Tweeps spew there about relationships and what not, takes away my appetite for fun, craze and a good no-karma mind-fucking.
Excuse my deep Yoruba, but 70% of relationship ‘experts’ or what do they call them these days, are fucked up freaks-in-denial high off sperm or cunt juice. Yes, I said it. Err.. I typed it rather.
Some people’s idea of a good relationship makes me laugh for days. Not!
I definitely wouldn’t mind a “Fuck me, Feed me, Fuck me again then love me later” type of relationship but then again, I’m experienced enough to know; there are more cons than pros when a relationship is based on sex.
Don’t stone me yet. According to my Mum, a good relationship should be: Love me, Feed me, Marry me then Fuck me.
*Loud cough*…*Suffocates Mum wiv’ Kisses*
Apparently, my Mum hasn’t seen the movie “When Harry tries to Marry.” Marriage isn’t for every Tomiwa, Dickson and Harry. Pun very much intended.
Since I have a mild case of commitophobia, I’ll rather settle for a Love me, Feed me, Fuck me type of relationship and see where that leads me oh! Life isn’t Nollywood.
So, off I go to BBM to ask a few of my female friends; In one sentence, what’s your idea of a good, if not perfect, relationship?
“Understanding. If they understand each other, everything should fall into place.” – Nnenna.
“I don’t have a ready made answer o. There is no standard na. But me I like a peaceful relationship, no fights and I don’t av to be explaining myself.” – Olayimika
“Putting yourself before the other person. Lmao! The other way around.” – Cynthia.
There.. all three of them are experienced females. None of them mentioned sex! :’(
I wouldn’t wish a “Fuck me, Fuck me, Fuck me everyday, then Love me when you remember” type of relationship on my Kid Sister. So I guess it’s wrong to demand it from other peoples’ Sisters or Daughters.
Sex can definitely make or mar a relationship. Ponder on that for a minute or two while I go buy some condoms.

BEAUTY TIPS BY MISS ANITA: (HOW-TO)LIP COLOUR THAT LASTS ALL DAY




Everybody wants a longer lasting lip-colour

So today I thought I should share with people a massive beauty secret.
I have been ask so many time, "How can my lipstick last all night/day". I'll be sharing a short write-up on this and I promise, it will work... if it doesn't, come back to me.
  • ·         Before starting your make-up, apply any lip moisturizer of your choice {I use Vaseline}. Applying moisturizer before your make-up gives it more time to sink into the lip so that you don't have a greasy lip
  • ·         When you're done with your make-up, sparingly apply concealer all over you lips to mute out any lip discolouration and also for longevity.
  • ·         Then apply any loose powder over to set it or even you face powder

Now the fun part;
  • ·         Line your lips with a lip-liner same colour as your lipstick then fill in your entire lips with that same lip pencil {THIS IS THE SECRET}
  • ·         Now apply your favourite lipstick
  • ·         Apply your lip-gloss if you feel like and you are good to go hunnay!

Please note: If you are time strained, you can always skip step 2 and step 3

I hope I have been able to help someone with this. If you have any questions on this or anything to do with makeup, skincare and beauty, leave me a message, comment, tweet @laydeeedee or email me at goldstringsinc@gmail.com

Stay beautiful  :*

A reply to; "What Should I do to Marry A Rich Guy?" Its worth the read!

EVERY FEMALE SHOULD DEFINITELY READ THIS!!
...guys read it for laughs.



"A Reply From CEO of J.P. Morgan To A Pretty Girl Seeking A Rich Husband".. !

A young 'n pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

... ----------------------------------------------------
Title: What Should I do to Marry A Rich Guy?
----------------------------------------------------

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style 'n good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above.

You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York.

My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married?

I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?

Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income,'n it seems that this is my upper limit.

If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names 'n addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have looks 'n are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, 'n who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty
***
A Philosophical reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan:


Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.

My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope
everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.

From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain.

Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" 'n "money" : Person A provides beauty,'n Person B pays for it, fair 'n square.

However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year.

Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, 'n you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position".
If the trade value dropped we will sell it 'n it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".

Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. 'n by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me.

signed,
J.P. Morgan CEO...
