7 Sure Tips To Satisfy A Typical Nigerian Lover

Nigerian men are like any other men physiologically but not entirely the same psychologically. The Nigerian or African culture and environment has its element of influence of the package Nigerian/African Man.

A few of these tips was written by OMG.com.ng. How to please a Nigerian / African man is not a usual question you hear from women but due to abuse and dissatisfaction in relationships, most Nigerian Women are frustrated with their Naija men.

You might just be a Nigerian Woman reading this article please stay strong and read further to learn more. If you are a Nigerian man that is not giving your wife the required attention, please adjust accordingly if you want to please her.

If you are not a Nigerian Man or Woman reading this, it’s still helpful. You can learn a thing or two.

Please Follow These Tips To Satisfy Your Nigerian Man. The list is not exhaustive though.
For emphasis; Marriage didn’t come packaged with a written one-size-fits-all guideline, its left for two adults to work it out following what they learnt from about marriage from the bible, counseling books, their parents, society and their own personal beliefs & moral standing.

First of all Be Certain Your Nigerian Man Really Loves You. Men are not strong at hiding emotion especially when it comes to passionate feeling. If a Nigerian man doesn’t feel connected to his wife, they tend to look out for something that can satisfy their passion. It takes a God-fearing man to stick to his wife even when he doesn’t feel that connected anymore. Now that it is established that this loves and cares so much about you, first don’t let it go to your head. Now do the following

Dress Very Well For Your Man
How did you dress that caught your man’s attention in the first place? Men are creatures of sight! I can’t say this enough, most Nigerian women today dress in a shabby manner especially after having kids. Remember men are attracted to sexy things (women, outfit, shapes, hairstyles, etc).

Make sure you dress well for your man, I don’t care whether you are 20 or 35 or 60, ensure you dress well. The question now is how can I dress well with all these pounds I have added (May be that is why your man is not attracted to you anymore). Keep dressing the way that makes him not want to take his eyes off you.

Be Humble To Your Man
Honestly, most Nigerian women have lost their culture, remember our culture commands respect. I don’t care if you are making twice than him. If your man feels a sense of respect from you, he will respect you in return.

Know How To Cook And Clean
You don't want your Nigerian Man marrying you and the numerous eateries that dot the neighbourhood. They say the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Don't make the mistake that you can short-circuit that through your bossom. If you can't cook learn how to cook at least his favourite dishes he'll love and appreciate you more for the attempt. Also know how to clean. *In fact this tip should be number one*

Maintain A Good Weight
Please Naija women, if you have gained a lot of weight since you got married to your sweetheart, there is a real chance your man might be interested in slim women aka lepa. So, go on a quick diet and shed the weight, keep fit. Some men do like thick women, you don't have to be a slim woman or lepa. Just stay fit and trim.

Be Romantic
To be honest, most Nigerian men are not romantic, so if your man is not romantic, show him some romance. Don’t let him be the first to come and kiss you, kiss him 24/7 especially when you are indoors (but keep in mind to give him some space too, very important).

Remember He Is A Nigerian An Not A Citizen Of Your Romance Fairy-tale Novel Or Fantasy
Don’t have over ambitious expectation for him regarding romance based on what you read in romance novels. Those are fictions, learn to separate the two. Hold him in such high esteem and your relationship is doomed.

Don’t Import Romance From Another Culture And Try To Enforce It On Him
The result may likely be very unfavourable. Though you aspire to live a certain standard or romance life, start from the basic where he is very comfortable.

So when last did you kneel down to greet your husband?
If nothing seems to work after trying all your best, then what you need is counseling

One Million Minutes Of Family Bonding Moments

News coming out of Kuala Lumpur has it that more than 6,500 Malaysians were treated to an enjoyable family movie viewing experience recently in Oreo’s nationwide effort to promote family togetherness.

Oreo’s “One Million Minutes of Bonding Moments” campaign resulted in a total of over five million minutes of bonding moments dedicated by loyal Malaysian families.

In our hectic lifestyles, families are encouraged to spend quality time with their family and indulge in enriching their relationships between one another.

“We believe that family relationships are worth investing in as they will carry us through every season in life and we hope that this experience has truly strengthened the bonds within Malaysian families across the country,” said Ben Summons, Marketing Director of Kraft Foods Malaysia.

At the event, families young and old were seen enjoying their time together while spending time with each other over the family-friendly comedy movie – the latest Monsters University.

“This has been a wonderful and enjoyable experience with my family. As a working dad, sometimes I can get so caught up with work that I allow myself to miss opportunities to bond with my kids. I agree that everyone can make time for special moments to bond with their family every day,” said Mohamad Hanif, father of two children.

This effort is to encourage Malaysians to continue dedicating precious minutes of bonding moments with their families because at the of the day, every little moment counts and bonding moments go a long way in bringing families closer together.

As we might remember from a Disney movie ‘Lilo and Stitch’ where Lilo said 'Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.’

Don't Be Adventurous In A Chinese Restaurant, Know What You Are Eating!

Please when you go to Chinese restaurant, don't just nice sounding meals on the menu they may taste so good to you, speaking from experience. Ask what you are ordering first. What I want to share with you today reminds of what happened a few years back. We went to a Chinese Restaurant called Saipan. It was a little get-together for the office. So the order for food was made mostly by the ogas but we individually chose our drinks/poisons. When the food was served, most of us can't wait to taste this exquisite exotic oriental dishes. We don't care if they were healthy Chinese food or not.


There was this thing that looked fried shrimps. I scooped more than enough of the shrimp-like looking dish to my plate. More people did what I did. I took one spoonful and I was screaming uncontrollably in my mind for the fire service to put out the fire raging in my mouth. This stuff crazy hot chili pepper. I tried to hide my predicament from public display lol. I don't know when I emptied my glass of red label. I sat back and watched everybody who scooped that fried chili and they all learnt their lesson the hard way just like I did.

Moral of the Story: Always be sure of the cockroaches and frogs you are order at a Chinese restaurant!

My boss shared his food with me today Thursday June 13 2013 afternoon. One look at the content in a deep white bowl convinced me it was moi-moi. I cut and tossed a sizeable portion in my mouth, bad mistake. I remembered the warning in our chemistry laboratory back in Government College Umuahia which says; “DON’T Sniff, Touch Or Taste Anything” I used to taste out the chemicals on people’s notebook especially when their eyes are elsewhere lol! My taste buds recoiled sharply to safety, I spat the portion out at a dizzying speed. What the hell was that? What kinda moi-moi is this?

I had to ask my boss, bros no vex o what kinda food be this? He said it’s wheat and added it’s healthy. That was when I noticed the other plate with soup. The wheat is the swallow (like garri) for the soup. I have never eaten wheat as swallow before. I’m not the adventurous type with food. I’m finicky with food. The soup was ogbono or draw soup. How worse can it get? I hardly eat ogbono soup. I’m going against these unfriendly food tag team. My grumbling stomach decreed I eat the wheat and ogbono soup plus I wanted to taste the wheat. I just shoved the bolus down my oesophagus. It didn’t look like eating, it was like punishment. I finished my meal with a huge soup left over while MD almost licked his plate clean. He loves ogbono/draw soup. 

One man's corned beef is another man's cyanide. That's my version of one man's meat is another man's poison.

Sometimes The Universe Seem To Work Against You But Devil Is A Liar

You know sometimes it seems like the universe just work against you and you wonder why. If you are most true Christians you begin to remember the sin or sins you committed that may be standing in your way of success. The truth is sometimes in eyes of limited understanding we think the universe is hurting us but in indeed the universe is helping us. Always remember these quotes below.

Once You Make A Decision, The Universe Conspires To Make It Happen
Ralph Waldo Emerson

When You Want Something All The Universe Conspires In Helping You Achieve It 
Paulo Coelho

Question is; "What Decision Have You Taken or What Do You Want?" May we not find ourselves in such situation where the universe work against us. May the universe always work to our benefit and favour!

Dalu dashed into our office Thursday June 13 2013 afternoon, his internet ran out in the middle of an important email. He needed to just send an email. It was like God turned his back on him for a split second. His email won’t let him sign in. Okay he signed into his yahoo and it stopped responding. He fiddled with for some minutes and Firefox stopped responding all together. Na wa o! He switched to Google chrome. He also switched to my Gmail account. The Gmail compose page froze for a moment then continued working. In the middle of writing the all-important mail there was a brief power cut which caused our internet modem to reboot. He looked at me with a pitiable expression of frustration etched on his face then he gasped “What Did I Do?”

I’m no evil genius but it amused me. I’ve been there, done that. I understand perfectly in every fiber of my being what tremendous torment he is going through and how he is feeling. The email must be really be jinxed. This is the kind of situation that makes people say things like; “Devil Is A Liar” “That Juju No Go Work” “If They Send You Tell Them Say You No See Me”, etc. The Swift modem rebooted momentarily. He continued composing his email. The last straw that broke the camel’s back was when he tried to attach a 63kb file, just 63kb. It kept loading and loading and loading. The file took enough time to deliver the mail by DHL still it kept loading! The voodoo priest frustrating his effort is really powerful lol!

I was troubleshooting the problem all the way but more troubles kept shooting him. I then asked him to use the windows 8 laptop instead. That was his salvation. He succeeded in sending the email and left our office.

Blame It On The Rain If I Skip Work Today!

Thursday June 13 2013
Its so good to be back to the land of the living this morning. As I was taking my cold bath this morning, Lekki was being bathed as well. Blame it on the rain if I skip work today lol. I had secretly prayed for the rain cuz I was so not in the mood for going to work this morning. My mind is burdened by rent issue. When the rain fell, it was a sweet orgasmic relief. Somehow I felt the burden being washed away like sins being washed away by the blood of Jesus. I imagined how swiftly this prayer was answered. Was it a dumb luck? Did God look into my heart and just for my sole sake bathed Lekki this morning? Was it planned or predestined to rain this morning regardless of what I wanted? I can never know the answer to these questions.


As the soap lather slithered down my body to the bathroom floor and disappeared out the waste water outlet on the floor I watched as limitless silvery raindrops hurl themselves on building roofs and wash off to the ground. Some rooftops are rusty, I imagine it may hurt the raindrops. I wondered if they enjoyed what they were doing. I wondered what the lifespan of a raindrop was. If I were a rain drop, where would I like to fall on? Probably in juicy cleavage of a beautiful lady. Get your mind out the gutter. I toweled myself dry and eased myself into a comfortable position on the bed, also eased the laptop comfortably on my lap. Lekki is still taking her bath, even if the rain stops it will only take the dry season to completely towel it dry like I just did. I work a little on the office task with some difficulties and then gravitated naturally to my write-up.

The rain took a break for the day after a while. I left for work. I got to office less than three minutes ahead of my boss around a few minutes before eleven o’clock. He passed me one of his new laptops that I configured some time ago, this time I’m copying documents and media from my office laptop to it. That got me busy for a while. I hate the navigation on Windows 8. Is it me being stuck in the past or do you guys love windows 8? Bill Gates must be really proud of his Windows 8 right now. I prefer Windows 7 anytime!

I went to the bank as usual to make some payments. Later in the evening an unexpected individual checked on us. The door slowly cringed open and we had eyes fixed on the door and the last person we anticipated strolled in. MD exclaimed! We all burst into a hysterical laughter. It was Ifeanyi, the dude who resigned a few days ago! He didn’t come to work though. But there was genuine excitement in the air just seeing him. We spent the rest of the evening gisting about life, work, family, relationship, you name it. MD left for a meeting at Whitbaker Hotel Ikoyi some minutes after 5:00pm. Ify took his leave also. I stayed behind till 6:45pm.

Already Caesar had whatsapped me that he is waiting for me at Lekki roundabout. I rushed over to him and transport fare was saved. we talked about my write-ups. He was really thrilled reading my blog article. He never knew I could write. We spent some time at his babe’s shop before I went home. In the morning when I was leaving my room I saw the carcass of butterfly or was it a moth on the door mat outside. Poor thing. This evening I saw another one indoors beside the water dispenser. Who, what and when was open season declared on butterflies? Who or what is doing the killing? I hit the sack.

Do You "Think Outside The Box" Or Do You "Think In A Larger Box"?

I once put up a Facebook status update about not subscribing to the term thinking outside the box. I prefer the term "Thinking In A Larger Box" Really it's like a terminology difference if you asked me. We may be talking the same thing just worded differently. The wrong expression will definitely get you the wrong reaction. I don’t care the colourful decorations you may put on the term 'Thinking Outside The Box' to justify its usage. To me you can only think outside the box when you are lying six feet taking a dirt nap, that time you are really outside the box of reality and imagination!

Caveat: I'm not a professed philosopher nor lawyer, just airing my opinion.

Below is the Facebook status update and the comments that flowed.

They Say "Think Outside The Box" I Think It's Insane. You Can NEVER Think Outside The Box Rather, You Think In A Much Larger Box. Your Realm Of Thought Will Always Be Your Box.

Mavis Ishanqueen O: Why are you destroying our illusions? The box I think could be social norms.

Ibe W:‎ @Me, pls educate me!!! which part of the body is your own box located??????? January

Me: Yes the box could be social norms, a certain type of social norm. So when you think, you think bigger than the social norm you already have and not outside of it.

Me: The box is not located in any part of my body. The box is my Thought Realm.

Mavis Ishanqueen O: Society could be a point of start, but we can divert totally from it (revolution). Or don't you think that is possible? Cuz that would be thinking outside the box. A bigger box as you said could simply mean a reform, I acknowledge these rules exist and somehow try to bend them without breaking them.

Me: In essence if my thought realm is 3000 meters square, I need to up it to 5000 meters square. Think bigger.

Me: Revolution can only change what you already have and add a new one but can NEVER completely bring a new one. Tell me a revolution that lead to a new brand new structure devoid of anything from the old system.

Mavis Ishanqueen O: I get your point. You win...this time :-D

Ibe Wogu: You are limited by the social norm you already have because you have confined yourself to it. Even the so called limited social norm you think you have, I bet you that you have not fully exploited it. That adage only implores you to expand your horizon as what you see or perceive is not the end of what is. So simply put "think outside the box" means look beyond your limitations!

Me: "That adage only implores you to EXPAND your HORIZON as what you see or perceive is not the end of what is." Did you just use those two words EXPAND and HORIZON in one sentence to refute what I said? Expand here simply means BIGGER and horizon means BOX. Meaning think in a bigger box not outside of the box.

Ibe W: The last time I checked Horizon involves perspective, possibility, prospect, sphere, scope etc. it has nothing to do with an enclosed and defined confines like a box. If the box is a limitation for you, I advise you forget about the box and think outside it. who said thoughts can only be done in boxes, even if u have to do that in a cage or a a container just think.

Me: Like I said earlier "The BOX" is your REALM OF THOUGHT. It's not the literal structure. Perspective, possibility, prospect, sphere, scope, etc are all realms of thoughts. If your thought is outside of these, what is inside then? You can't think outside of it rather you expand. It's like a progression, AP or GP depending on the power of your thought. You can only expand beyond your limitations not outside it. If you are outside it then it's not your limitation, probably another person's.

Ibe W: Ofcourse the social norms in which we operate in is not our own creation as such cannot be said to be my limitation. It is a limitation created by other such as our bad leaders. Contrary to your position, I can expand beyond my limitations especially if it was not originally created by me. And believe me if my realm of though is so myopic, then I may act on even your own thought. I bet you there are times the circumstances around you may not permit you to expand your horizon, then what do u do in such circumstances.

Me: The bad leaders created the situation that is a limitation to you but it's doesn't mean it's a limitation to the leaders. You stay 3 days at the filling station to get fuel and you think the minister of petroleum wastes the same amount of time trying to get fuel? Hell No! He created the limitation for you but it's not a limitation for him, his is there and different. I also acknowledge the fact that different people may face same limitation. Also facing the same situation may not necessarily mean limitation for two different people. There's fuel scarcity, I own a car and you won a bicycle; do you have a problem? You can always expand beyond your limitation irrespective of who created it. Yeah tell me what happens if you can't expand.

Ibe W: The only Realm of Thought foisted upon us (Nigerians) is filled with negativity, expanding it will entail expanding Kidnapping, armed robbery, corruption and recently terrorism. The best option is to jettison our so called social ideals and embrace a new one. No wonder the Bible said "Be yea transformed by the renewal of your mind"

Me: Now you are limiting yourself with negativity. Let me ask you, "Are you currently involved in all the vices you mentioned above?" So that you see negativity around you don't mean that you think and do it/them. You've expanded beyond your limitation but you are still in the system. TRANSFORMATION and RENEWAL mean one thing, improvement on what you already have and not an entirely new one. Still pointing to expanding your horizon.

Me: The only thinking outside the box that ever happened was in CREATION since then man has been thinking in a box bigger than what creation dealt him with.

Ibe W: Well you can think within your own box, as for me my thinking is both within and outside the box (no matter what that is) that is why am an inventor.

Me: I think in a larger/bigger box not outside. Inventor how many boxes do you think outside of in a year?

Ibe W: I have more than I million boxes. Which ones are u talking about. Or do u just have only one perspective to life?

Me: I have more than 1 million boxes merged in one huge box. Just like a cow, it can be million pieces of meat to you or one piece of meat to me.

Ibe W: A ca cow, beef is diifferent cos at the point u get a beef the cow is gone. Using animals as an example, I do not have the time to be beef to a cow, rather I can be goat, Cat, chicken, lion, tiger etc as the occasion requires.

Me: Call it beef, call it cow, it's meat. A million pieces to you, one piece to me.
