… For a million dollars?
- If you were on the verge of losing your home, have no car, and have no other place to lay your head at night, and Someone offered you a million dollars — if only you would sleep with a random person, would you do it?
- If the love of your life was in limbo, between life and death, and you were offered a million dollars — if only you would disown your family, would you do it?
- If you were asked to marry that person, that one you loathe, the one you wish you could write ‘RIP’ before his/her name, and you were now offered a million dollars to marry him/her instead, would you do it?
- And what if you were asked to denounce your religion – be it Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, or even Atheism, for the cash prize of one million dollars, would you do it?
Tell me then, what would you not do for a million dollars?

And why is sleeping with a random person such a big deal that you have to get paid for it, ehn?
Million dollar questions… hmmmm…I´ll vote in the side bar…
Vera,I just wanna say I have your radio show podcasts on my ipod and I really enjoy listening to the show.
I definitely tune in for this own.
…maybe one of these days I´ll call in …who knows
I would do the first one if I was on the verge of a break down, but the rest? No way!!
a million dollar is plenty o!…..
Na, not worth it
No money in the world, that was my vote.
Anonymous: LOL! Why don't you call in on Saturday? We'll talk better about it 1.646.929.1905
Joicee: Thank you so, so, so very much! I wish I could thank you enough. And, I hope that "one of these days…" will be very, very soon.
Caramel: So you wouldn't disown your family for the love of your life? *wink, wink* Tehehe. You know, I'm still waiting to hear your voice one of these days.
Omotee: I thought the same, "A million dollars is plenty o!" It really, really is. *sigh* I'd much rather get it for free, of course.
Myne Whitman: How about two million dollars, then? Okay, you said "no money.." LOL. Hahaha.
The reason why most people chose the "Sleep with a stranger" option is that it is something they would do anyway. Money just makes it easy, or justifiable.
I'm guessing also that there are as many men as there are women on that vote as well. I like the honesty, at least. Who wouldn't want two pleasures for the price of one? Add the proviso of anonymity to that option, and you'd see how many more people will vote for it. I mean, "sleep with a random stranger, and no one else knows about it." 😀 I'll take it. I'll take the money more than twice. 😀
Vera you have come again o! But I am in sync with Anonymous on this. About denouncing religions, a million dollars is not enough sha. Just ask those MUMUTALLABs of this world.
I guess the religion thing, I'd do. God forgives…I will just do it real quick and then ask for forgiveness! I already sleep with random persons for free…so why not get paid for it especially if I am broke and homeless!
true, a million dollaes is a lot of money. is it's worth all the heart ache, guilt and stress that will come with all those choices? i don't think so. my vote is no amount is worth is.
Anonymous: I, too, am pleased with the honesty of the polls. LOL @ taking the money more than twice. Look @ your mouth. Okay, well, maybe I can't see your mouth, but still, I can imagine it.
Luscious Ron: So, then, is there an amount that is big enough to convince someone to denounce his/her religion? Speaking of Mutallab, how much was he paid – if he was paid at all?
Temite: Oh, Temite. What would I do with you? LOL. You're one crazy chic. I need your mother's phone number; I need to speak with her 🙂
Naija Mom Abroad: There's no price on the stress and guilt, you're right. But would you reconsider if the money were multiplied by ten — or even 20?
May God not allow me to be tempted more than I can bear. And seriously, when you walk with God, temptations are easier to overcome by His grace.
@Temite: At this moment, I am ashamed to call you sister. Urghhh! lol
looks like giving up my religion is d only thing i'd do for one million dollars (see o, wen e no be naira sef!) seeing as am not much of a religious person to begin with. All of dem no be God dem dey serve?
Write Freak: I thought the same thing, too. I hoped to never be tempted more than I can bear [overcome]. A million dollars is very, very tempting. And like you rightly said, temptations are easier to overcome by His grace. LOL @ your comment to Temite.
FFF: Hahahaha. No be God all of them dey serve ehn? So, if it were a million naira, you for think two times, ehn kwa? Funny chic.
ha! i paused for a while on number 2, its a really hard one because a life depends on it, but the consequence is unbearable as well. men! no amount is enough.
these really gave me pause..first off, i thought i could sleep wit a random person if it was to save my kids but then i thought what if this random person was a mad man or HIV stricken..then i rad the other options and it was easy to say no, i wouldn't…big time cash it is..yeah..but what did i lose to gain it?
Ooooh didn't get the second one! Duh!
