“ Just look at what Mandy is doing to me from across the Atlantic. She's even mentioned wheel chair for a healthy "young" mammal! Hmm..you were the one who confessed that you’ve retired from active life and feel content in a rocking chair. (lol). Ask Anu Nti, when a girl starts asking you “is that all?” you are in big soup. You better dust off those Barbara Cartland novels and go to work. Too much of that bible stuff will land you in monkville.
On the Igbo language stuff, it can be very romantic if spoken with the right inflection that is rich in sensual subtlety. You should know, don't you?
Na wa for you O! They told you father's combusting and you're asking if his beard was affected.
So you'd have me acquire more theories from books? I don't think so. That our Anu Nti did not rise to the occasion was not because his book-shelve was covered in cob-webs O!
I have retired from theories. The Bible is a magnificent guide to making it through this wild world. There's no wisdom you won't find in the book of Proverbs. True!
Sure, I don't have much problem with the Igbo lingo especially if I'm at the receiving end. But I did feel awkward as a teenager when an "ije ke ebee" gal will stare me in the face and quip: "nna imaka zi". "ochi gi na agbam ala". Always made me blush! I think oyibo language is a lot better since they have more time for that sort of thing than some of us.

OU and Mandy, Laugh at me all you guys care. I'm sure that for most guys, playing "Catch Up" a la Betty Wright would yield similar results. Yea, Ezike Oba or even 12 volts, I guess would have stood me in better stead than Premier. But with her, may be not, but then drifting off to no-man's-land and blocking her out would have been easier, sure.

12 volts is the small bottle of Guinness stout beer as against the 24 volts bigger bottle. Guinness stout beer goes by such other aliases as odekwu, nmiri onugbu, ogwu iba, enu aku, etc. They also call the 12V "small boy".
While most other alcoholic beverages (mistakenly considered aphrodisiacs) actually "increase the desire but take away the performance", stout is trusted to significantly increase the staying power which is what my wahala was (or may be still is, who knows? I'm every man. LOL).
I'm told that Nigeria is the world's second largest consumer of this brew, trailing only the home country, Ireland. Epicures to the core, we are!
