On Riding, Virginity, and Christian Radio

Last night I drove home listening to a local christian radio station which I won't name!
It was a call in show - people calling in for advice on all sorts of stuff - advice from a mature Christian perspective!
So a girl writes in and asks:
"Does horse riding and bicycle riding affect one's virginity because I have heard from some of my friends that it does".
And the mature hosts of the show then gave their reply:
"Yes my dear horse riding and riding bicycles and such things can affect your virginity"!!
And that was that - that was the answer given - and they moved on to the next question about how a 23 year old man can go about finding a girlfriend etc.
Now for goodness sakes! Its time christians understood that the mere fact that you are running a christian business/station/whatever does not mean you throw quality control out the window!
It's hard to verbalise the shock I felt at that answer!
I mean what sort of ridiculous answer was that?????!!!
Crazy!!!

On Naija and Italy

Still in Naija!
Still lovin it - yesterday went through the traditional ceremony and now have the official blessing to take my Lady home!
Today we went unprepared for a meeting which turned out to be with the DEPUTY GOVERNOR Plateau State!
So there was the media etc and full ceremony - it was great!
Unfortunately due to the absence of warning all we had to offer in return was a "symbolic" token - a small box of kenyan tea!
Oh well - these things happen!
So I'll be watching the news tonight to see if we made it on there!
And so here I am at a lovely air conditioned cyber and feeling like home!

Now a few weeks back, my two top predictions to win the World Cup were Italy followed by Germany, in that order!
At the time I believe Mental's comment was:

Italy?ITALY??You guy you're nuts!

mama mia said...
Italy will meet their match in the Oranje team... if Italy gets that far, that is.

Now all I hear is: The Italian Job...time to finish, I suspect Italy will win, I'll go for an Italy win in extra-time..........
You get my drift!!!

And then of course there's this deafening silence from Mental other than a random rant along the lines of: "Argentina had as much chance of winning this world as I do in making a rap music video swimming with dolphins"

Mental? Mental? Anything to say???????

In Nigeria

Am in Nigeria visiting my soon to be relatives and I'm loving it!
This place is great!
No way it justifies all the bad hype it gets!
More later!
Cheers
