On Melvin Oduah Repping Nigeria in Big Brother Africa 2013

How many people are watching the Big Brother Africa which started yesterday? I am.

Surprised? LOL... don't be. Not only am I visiting a cousin who is a huge fan of the franchise, it turns out that one of the people representing Nigeria is my homeboy, from the same village as I am in Asaba. My cousin knows him personally as they've been family friends for years, and I've met him a couple of times, first time being when he was still a pimply teenager. Now he's a fine boy no pimples :)

So if you're watching and voting, please help to keep Melvin in the game till the very end. He is a very cool and down to earth person as his bio below on the BBA website shows. And I promise to bring my own portion of that $300,000 prize money and share it here, lol...

Looking For a Life Partner is Not as Simple as Shopping!

This response came in to Timi Robins suggestion on this post for singles looking for partners to apply the same sense as they do for shopping.

Like this commenter below explains, sometimes life is very complex, and shopping is not as simple as we may think.

Most People Will Remain Friends With Their Ex

Our last poll indicates that majority of people will remain on friendly terms and in contact with their exes. This was the resounding result according to a sample of 130 people who responded to the question, would you remain friends with an ex? Split almost evenly, more than 70% said they would either be friends or acquaintances with their ex. About 25% were not as chill and easy about ended relationships. 4 voters were not joking at all, to them, an ex is automatically an enemy. See the breakdown below.

You Cannot Change People

Dtone Martins - Kati Kati (Music Meets Romance)

Dtone Martins is a young singer and musician who describes his music as afrique-soul. This song, one of several of his that I really liked is laced with a traditional folk sound, and the corny lyrics are cute for when you just want some easy listening music to relax to.

For Men - How To Bring the Sexy Into Your Marriage

This post was written in response to the guy whose wife is shy and reserved in the bedroom [see post], and a more specific version was sent back to him in reply. He enjoyed the comments on the previous post and wishes, like some others who commented on the post, that RML had more general posts on the issue of happy sex in marriage.
