<span style="font-weight: bold">He</span> needs to <span style="font-weight: bold">change himself</span>.

Anyway, different topic. If this couple wanted privacy, why did they have to make an anouncement....and why dis she post a photo of her belly? You can't make a public announcment and then say you want privacy when people react negatively.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
Yendi Phillipps, first runner-up in the 2010 Miss Universe, announced that she is expecting her first child with dancehall artiste Daniel 'Chino' McGregor, last night.

In less than an hour after the announcement on Facebook, over 1,500 fans 'liked' or commented on her page, which <span style="font-weight: bold">she posted with a photograph of her expanding belly</span></div></div>
What in the world was she thinking?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
In the announcement, Phillipps posted: &quot;17 weeks and counting...I wish we could have shared it earlier but you know they say it's bad luck to announce too soon. I'm so excited to finally tell you that we have a little 'McGregor' on the way!&quot;

&quot;You know how much I value &quot;you&quot; as you've been such a support through my various ventures so I wanted you to know first-hand as this one is perhaps my most exciting to date! I feel truly blessed and am more amazed everyday to experience our creator in such a miraculous and organic way. Seasoned mommy's, don't hold back on the advice...hehe *wink* Love, Blessings...and Life &quot;

The announcement last night confirmed months of rumours that were swirling in Jamaican popular circles that there was a relationship between the two.

Phillipps was crowned Miss Jamaica Universe 2010 on July 3, 2010, and represented Jamaica at the Miss Universe 2010 pageant in Las Vegas on August 23, 2010. She scored the highest in swimsuit and came in second in evening gown, entering the final question round in second place with a score of 8.884. She became the first runner up behind Mexico.

</div></div>
...and to my point about McGregor not being a good choice:'

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
This child, will be the second for McGregor who already has a three-year-old daughter from a previous relationship
</div></div>

If he didn't marry the mother of his first child, why take up with him? Clearly he is not a good prospect.

Sorry you can't have it both ways. You can't make a public announcement in one breath and post a photo of your belly on Facebook and in the next breath tell people you want privacy and to stay out of your business. She involved others in her business...<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">opened the door wide and invited them right in</span></span>...when she made the announcement and posted that picture.

You know I love you dearly my darling ex-husband but this is total garbage....sheer and utter rubbish.

Marriage is not a eurocentric insitution. It is global and you'll find it in ALL cultures from time immemorial. It is the normal way of doing things....and having kids left right and centre without marrying the women was not a part of traditional African culture.

African people get married too. They always have. Marriage is a human institution not limited by race (or religion). It was the Europeans that forcibly stripped marriage from slaves. And in 2012 we are proud that slave-masters banned slaves from marriage because? Europeans invented the concept of non-married child-birth for black people.

take a deep breath..
i never said afrikan people don't get married...

i said we have internalized <span style="font-style: italic">european concepts </span>of marriage and nuclear family...

if euro-american marriage concept is so divine, why is it usually only 50% succesful??

perhaps their new gay marriage concept will be more succesful...


i'm pretty sure i can't even begin to get into polygyny with you...
this concept of marriage has been thoroughly dismissed by the euro-centric hordes...

....because White North American men have bought into Hollywood hype and want to marry blonde super model types. They focus on packaging when determining who to date and ultimately who to marry. There is little focus on character and who has the qualities to make a good wife and mother.

<span style="font-weight: bold">South Africa's polygamist President marries sixth wife</span>



JohnThomas
By JohnThomas Didymus
Apr 22, 2012 in World


Pretoria - Polygamist President of South Africa, Jabob Zuma, 70, has married a sixth wife. He married Gloria &quot;Bongi&quot; Ngema on Saturday, in a customary service that began at 6 a.m. at his home in Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal.

After his his sixth wedding, Zuma now has four wives. His three other wives attended his wedding to Ngema, a business woman with whom he has a seven-year-old son. According to Zuma's spokesman Mac Maharaj: &quot;President Jacob Zuma has today married Ms Bongi Ngema at a traditional ceremony known as umgcagco at his home in Nkandla. The bride and groom later participated in the traditional competitive celebratory dance. A wedding reception will be held this evening, and tomorrow there will be the umabo, where the bride showers the groom's family with gifts.&quot; The statement added shortly: &quot;The president's three wives attended the event.&quot;

Daily Mail reports Zuma can legally marry many wives under South Africa's constitution. The customary law that allows him multiple marriages was drawn up after the apartheid era to preserve the &quot;traditions&quot; of the country's native ethnic groups.

Reuters reports that the new bride Ngema is an activist and former IT worker, well known in South Africa and has already been with the president on foreign visits.
According to the Daily Mail, Zuma had been engaged to Ngema for a long time.

She is described as a &quot;devoutly religious businessmen woman.&quot; She has worked for several major companies in South Africa, including IBM and Deoloitte &amp; Touche.

Now that she is married to the South African president, she will join the presidential household in the village of Nkandla where she will live together with the other three wives. All four women will be treated as first ladies and will share their &quot;spousal duties&quot; among themselves, Daily Mail reports.

The Guardian reports, however, that there is no official position of First Lady in South Africa, and according to the presidency, none of Zuma's wives has a constitutional role or receives state funds.

<span style="font-weight: bold"> Zuma, a former goatherder</span>, who spent a decade in prison during the apartheid regime married his first wife Sizakele Khumalo, 69, in 1973. He married Nompumelelo Ntuli, 37, in 2008 and Thobeka Madiba, 39, in 2010.

The Guardian reports he divorced Home Affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma in 1999. His wife Kate Mantasho-Zuma committed suicide in 2000.

According to The Telegraph, the president's spokesman Maharaj, said: &quot;The new Mrs Zuma had already been part of the spousal machinery in terms of administrative support so there will be no changes due to the wedding.&quot;

South Africa's Sunday Times reported last week that the president's home in Nkandla was renovated in a multi-million-pound project involving construction of six double-story thatched huts. According to the Sunday Times, each of the building was connected to Zuma's house by an underground tunnel, to allow him easy access to his wives.

Re: Video: Yendi and Chino respond to critics

I wont even comment about the pros &amp; cons of the couple or upcoming baby – more than enuff opinions out there, EXCEPT, to say I think it’s foolish to do an interview on the subject.

All the more foolish to do so and then talk about how private you are. IMHO, that's just dumb. You dont have to succumb to the<span style="font-style: italic"> facebookingtwitteringnonstopness</span> that is of our world today. So now they've done the itnerview and it's solved what - swayed who - accomplished what ... gimmie a break. Guess what - u prolly just fanned the flames in both directions, even more.

Anyway, this was an interesting article I read in the paper this morning ...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/...wvcT_story.html
<span style="color: #000099">
<span style="font-style: italic">Dear Carolyn:

What do you have to say about two people who have a child together, but insist they are not ready to make the marriage commitment? Are these two types of commitment really so different, or is that (as I see it) just a huge load of bull?

Va.

Funny you should ask.

I’d have to know the circumstances to call something bull, because there’s often a reasonable explanation for something that appears off. (And as everyone knows who has been to a traditional, all-hoops-jumped-through wedding of two people who turned out to be terrible together, there can be a whole lot that’s off about something that appears sound.)

To give an example of something I’d call reasonable, take a statistic that I dug up a while back for a column. A couple of sources put the rate of premarital sex among American adults at 85 to 95 percent. So, darn near everybody. And since birth control (and self-control) can be imperfect, sometimes unready couples conceive. And sometimes these couples decide that despite their unreadiness as a couple, they like each other enough and want children enough to want no part of abortion or placing their child for adoption. So, they step forward gingerly into the business of being a family.

That’s just one example of a cart-before-horse couple who I wouldn’t call a “huge load of bull” or banish from Christmas — but, then, I can only Christmas for myself.
