   Naija Guy Gist: Is it right to date your sibling's ex?      Let's talk about this very important issue. Let's say my brother brings his girlfriend home and with time everyone gets to know her. Personally I find her very attractive and also very nice. We get talking and then I start developing some feelings for her but I say to myself, "hey, she nice and cool but it's a no go area because she already belongs to my brother."

"Kiss and Tell", A Prevailing Attitude Among Nigerian Men

      Whether at a hangout, party, bar, work, an event or in our apartments with our friends, we get talking about issues, trying to catch up with one another. The talks may vary from trends to sports and right down to our personal issue depending how close we are.      "Men will always be men" no matter what part of the world they are found.

Simply because they failed to get an in depth knowledge of what they are about to launch themselves into.      Being an entrepreneur is far beyond what most people think.
