God bless Swahili women, they are so peaceful,very calm and down to earth they don't have 'problems' like their Nigerian sisters who are usually overeducated,defensive,very offensive,angry, never satisfied....
the good thing is they settle down after extra 10years on the look

Sorry late with this

Kitu Kizuri is swahili - 'something good/nice'.

With a load of crap.

" LEAVE OUR MEN ALONE -------- Appreciate from far what hard work and time we have spent to get our men to where they are now.....and aim to do the same with your own man....not ours"

Perhaps the Editor will learn to listen to some single voices like Jerusalem's. She's developed a cult following based on her blog. We're not quite sure who she is. We think she's Nigerian. Others think she's from another African country. Either way, her blog makes interesting reading www.jerusalemreflects.blogspot.com

Ugh!!!!!

2007-09-06T17:54:00.000+01:00

How about you write an article to help married Nigerian women escape abusive, controlling and hopeless marriages? I think we (over 30 single girls) have heard more than enough advice, so now we know what to do..there is an untapped market out there, work on it, eh!
I bet half of these women dishing out the advice are just smiling for the pictures and praying their husbands shut up when they go out, instead of 'shanting shicken and shair' at the parties.

Thank you Jeremy for posting this RIDICULOUS article, it's hilarious! What a mish mash of rubbish. I'd never heard of this magazine before, but I'll be sure to tell everyone I know just how ridiculous it is! and to think, some people really believe that this is journalism!!

Repeat: Nigerian women don soffa!
(i think that's the more 'appropriate' spelling)

Unfortunately dear Anonymous at 4.46pm, Na by force o!. You're probably not yet in the age range that this article speaks to, so you can't understand the serious oppression from within and especially from without that 'older' single ladies suffer in our society.

As for those who are successful in 'snagging' one eventually, most aren't so befuddled with their success as to think that things with Mr. Shicken will be rosie posie from then on. The older you get, the more pragmatic, which means all the articles in this advice list should be taken quite seriously, humorous or not.

Good luck hunting y'all.

2007-09-06T16:46:00.000+01:00

Methinks the writer is the one to toe the line of the advice she is dishing. She is insecure so she has produced this magazine as her sincere (insincere) way of helping black women. Do u need to warn women to leave your husbands alone?........if you are secure about the relationship/life you have built with your man, do u need to explicitly warn women to keep away?

4 Christ sake how can one change one identity, preferences, tastes all in the bid to get married?.........Abeg na by force?

Please focus more on how a woman can realize her full potential with or without a man, instead of making how to catch a husband as the sole topic of your magazine……..haba !!!!! Na wetin?

2007-09-06T15:12:00.000+01:00

"Teach him the correct pronunciation or change yours to 'shicken' as well". LOL! I'd like to see the writer go to a dinner party and say 'shicken' at the table with a straight face!

Seriously, the problem i've found with 'advice' like this is that while there may be genuine merit to some of them, they are usually mixed in with the riduculous.

The same way you should not go into a serious relationship thinking you can fix/change/save/cure a person from from their issue (pronunciation, infidelity, smoking, etc...), you should not go about changing who you are to meet someone else's standards. After marriage nko? You cannot pretend forever!

That said, i really like #'s 2, 3, 5, 6, 8("establish yourself as a brand" - i like a lot!), 11 and 14.

Are these for real?

If he says, ‘shicken’ instead of chicken......you can teach him the correct pronunciation or change yours to ‘shicken’ as well.

2007-09-06T11:29:00.000+01:00

This is the most entertaining thing I've read so far today (granted, the day is young). That said, the advice presented here is pretty standard stuff and I'm sure all single&searching Nigerian (as well as a lot of African/Black) women over 25 have heard the same thing in one form or the other.
