ADVICE TO THE NIGERIAN BROTHERS; And indeed brothers all over.

Dear Nigerian brother,
Please and please when you meet a sister and you want her attention, do not call her over like she is your servant, she is not your servant girl and is not obligated to answer you or talk to you so don't feel offended when she ignores your rude self.
Secondly do not ask for her cellphone number like its your right, it is not. Do not give her your phone and look away like she owes you her number and don't give her your number and tell her to call you  in a demanding voice. Her number is not your right.
Thirdly dear brother, when you meet that girl that excites you and you want to get to know her better please do not invite her on a date only to quiz and interview her. She has not applied for any job, if anything, you are the one applying so develop courtesy and learn "what getting to know you" means. Do not chat her up and quiz her, if you need to know more about her don't harass her with your many prying questions.
Fourthly when you are on a first date with a sister please leave marriage out of it, the matter is now cliche' and instantly passes you off as desperate. That can be a total turn off! you don't even know her!
In addition dear bros, Don't talk about dating you or marrying you like as if it a scholarship. Soldier go soldier come, you are not a one time opportunity. Also don't go forgiving her for all her passed and unconfessed sins which she did not commit against you, then place a warning of unforgiveness for future sins. She has not even agreed to date you yet! Mbok, wake up and smell reality... the sister is probably not even considering your arrogant ass!( pardon my English).
 When you tell a sister that if she agrees to date or marry you, she would have no worries or lack, know that you just handed her a blank cheque she is sure to fill and you may not like it when she does.

Mental Slavery

I was in the bank the other day, and a seemingly white guy walked in and went straight to the counter by-passing the line of waiting customers. For some reasons he came  back and sat by the side.  Five minutes later a worker came to tell him to go next after the person on the front of  the queue. This caused an uproar. A lot of us couldn't understand why he had to go  next. Why can't he join the queue? Like seriously, no dark skinned African get's treated preferentially in any white  skinned country.

We by this I mean Nigerians need to learn to love our selves the way we were created. We need to understand that there is nothing special about the fairer or white skin. we are all the same people but some how the African man especially Nigerians because I am most familiar with Nigeria, are bound in some kind of mental slavery to the white skinned person. They get excited and stare, the alter their accent for them, they are nicer to them but tend to be the opposite of all these things to their  fellow Nija person. Mehn y'all got to chill and reconsider. These people know that a lot of us Nigerians get silly around them and so they manipulate our silliness to their advantage.

Even our girls sef want to born half cast ooooo. That's why one yeye yello skinned african oyibo man want to form abrodie for me.  and am like " come of it man!"

African are created to be beautiful, elegant , proud, hard working people. we are not mean or hostile especially not to ourselves. slave trade is over. Please lets free ourselves from the mental slavery. Be proudly African. Love Africa; your skin, your hair, your culture; even your name! Stop answering funny names you can't even tell its meaning. African names are always meaningful and better than meaningless flashy names.

So basically this is a wake up call to all my African Brothers and Sisters to free themselves from every mental slavery that ties them bound to the White skinned man. This is a call to think African, walk African , Love Africa and Be African.

Disney’s ‘Zootopia’ Records Smashing Opening With $73.7 Million Debut

Disney’s “Zootopia” scored the fourth-biggest March opening ever, debuting to $73.7 million over the weekend.

The animated story about a rabbit who joins the police force ranks as the biggest Disney Animation launch (though not the best Pixar debut), outstripping “Frozen,” the 2012 blockbuster that bowed to $67.4 million. With no major family film opening until “The Jungle Book” lands on April 15, “Zootopia” is well positioned to be the de facto choice for moviegoers with children for the next month.

“There’s an absence of competition,” said Dave Hollis, Disney’s distribution chief. “We are set up to have a big, big run.”

March was once seen as a dumping ground for movies, but the success of spring releases like “The Hunger Games,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Cinderella” and now “Zootopia” has shattered that prejudice, analysts say.
