@pickabeau1, who says he expects a different result? |

Nashville: that's why the game is beautiful. chelsea beat liverpool & city last season but then lost to crystal palace & sunderland.  i bet you weren't laughing when you lost the title last season as you failed to beat teams whose total cost of their squad is less than the £50m you paid to sign torres.  now, that's funny! 1 Like |

Chairmen dem...maximum hailings! you guys should come and help me o...what is the purpose of a proposal? is it not to tell a girl you want to marry her ni? do I necessarily have to buy a ring and go down on one knee? what if I have arthritis nko? If you ask me, once you determine that you're willing to spend the rest of your life with someone and communicate same to the person, you're as good as engaged, or am I missing something? One of my lunatic friends said you should spend 3 months salary on engagement ring (the joker is obviously not close to getting married...lol). If you see as my mind just dey do the maths as im dey misyarn ehn...smh. |

The major issue is that ladies want to show off with something...hence the engagement ring which is not our tradition And as anything ladies accessory wise, they want to show off with their friends its a waste of money and time and can be even a determinant of a ladies maturity level and her ability to withstand peer pressure The proposal is good.. the issue is that it goes with a ring....if only one could propose without a ring Let me call a dude..

netotse: Three months salary is ridiculous to spend on a ring. Even in the U.S, the rule is one month salary and that for me is maximum o. You know what you can afford, so stick to it. Don't do more and don't do less. As for the proposal; if you think your wife wants the whole romance thing; please do it. Make her happy. Go down on one knee and make a big deal out of it, so that she can have a good story to tell her friends about how romantic you are. Abi na. 1 Like |

pickabeau1:*sighs*. My dear............ I will not wear any girl an engagement ring. Neither will I kneel down to propose to her. If that is the only way to make a girl feel loved then i'm sorry............ |

Tallesty1: So how will u propose to a lady The ring is a white man ting but our girls love it Welcome to the boyz room PS I'm a dude |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by Nobody: 8:26pm On Oct 08, 2014 |
netotse: 3 months fah?  25% annual  what can I say? if you know getting a meaningful ring (biko, no 3 months salary) and going on one knee is gonna make her head swell, just do it! She'll most likely get engaged once.....your knee isn't gonna break (it's just a lil something to make your lover smile) 1 Like |

| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by Nobody: 8:37pm On Oct 08, 2014 |
netotse: To say the truth, I dunno why a particular percentage would be allocated, really! Just buy something that fits...you know  (status, worth etc)Even if it's 1/10th of your salary. Why pouring a whole month salary on top ring? And you must to take pictures jor  what would she put on facebook? |

netotse: I no be chairman but chairlady Even you talk engagement ring, do you mean the ring to be worn till the wedding day (i.e. getting a new set for the wedding) or the engagement ring will double as one of the rings for the wedding? As for your lady, it depends on what tickles her fancy; if she wants a proposal, buy an inexpensive ring, throw it in her cup of wine at an eatery/ hire police to do roadblock/take her to sambisa forest and propose on one knee. In case of arthritis; lie down instead In essence, learn what she wants and do something to fit into your pocket.Still waiting on answer on the purpose of the ring |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by RoyalRoy(m): 8:54pm On Oct 08, 2014 |
The engagement ring is something you should buy at your discretion. At least the girl "is not supposed to know before hand" that you wanna propose. So why should she be "choosing" the quality and price range of her engagement ring? I know what my girl is worth, I know what I am worth... I will do what is right by me...not what the world thinks. 2 Likes |

RoyalRoy: LOL! RoyalRoy don vex I have heard some ladies now tell their guys the kind of the ring they want and the preferred jeweler If the engagement ring is what I think it is, then I do not know why a lot should be spent on it. I don't even know where mine is anymore. ( Maybe lost in transit) 1 Like |

@Bukatyne Dont most females have two rings? one for engagement and the main one you exchange on the wedding day na abi another one dey? I'm not a fan of social media and the likes so anything flashy is out of the question, for me it should be a private and intimate something...which one come be all the paparazzi that people now form these days? even all these story that people put on bella naija and the likes sey dem dey give them money ni? As a colleague who recently got married used to joke that he'd rather give the babe all the money he was spending than go through all that stress...lol |

pickabeau1:But that's my question? Why do you think he's trying to win the premiership? Lol |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by Nobody: 12:00pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
ihedinobi2: You are right. Arsenal FC means Arsenal Football Cooperation. Wenger knows too well he will not win the League or Champions League. He is just trying to come 3rd or 4th. He knows his team isn't good enough to come top two but good enough to come 3rd and that is his aim. If he can add the FA Cup or Capital One Cup to 4th place; then he would have had a great season. |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by ihedinobi2: 12:07pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
@proposal and engagement ring, someone has accused me of being dramatic. I really hope I am. Because I want to propose with flair and I want the ring or whatever I use to BIND her to be very "obstrusive". Lol. Seriously though, I'd like to do something she'll always remember with a smile no matter what. I care about the cost though so I mean to be prudent. @Nashville, lmao! I'm a gunner o...among other things, lol. I haven't confirmed it yet but if Arsenal has the kind of heavy debt that I hear we do then Wenger's style is very very smart. And if we've paid it all off like I've also heard then I'm expecting a real competition this season. |

netotse:What you spend should fall between how much you can afford/think is reasonable to how much you both agree. A proposal does not have to include a ring - at the exact point of proposal. Or it can be a "placebo" to start. One thing you can do is to figure it into your overall budget. That helps keep it in perspective, allows her have a say. If you have an idea - she's been dropping hints ! - of style and size and are happpy/able to go with the 3-month maxim, or otherwise know what you are willing and able to spend, by all means incorporate it into proposalI woo'ed and courted my wife without a ring and we got it together later. For the trad in Naija we used a cheapo one from NEXT. Abi you didn't hear me claiming double Ijebu on that other thread  !Don't let her dictate to you - na from there e dey take start - you could have a bridezilla on your hands All the best. TV 2 Likes

netotse: What you spend on a ring should be what you can afford without causing a big/small "fracas" in your finances. The ring is nothing but a design of the west to always put the jewellers in business (My opinion). However, there are so many good and cheap rings especially tungsten rings. Ebay has collections of them for cheap.... There is no hard and fast rule about proposing to your lady. Some people are dramatic while some can do without all the drama associated with it. Whatever you do, do what will make your woman happy and bustling with life. Some ladies do not like the dramatic proposal though. In summary, do whatever is comfortable for the two of you. |

netotse: You give her one during the traditional ceremony and you both exchange the second one in church I want to assume the 'engagement' ring under consideration is the one you will use to propose to her Some people use the ring used to propose as an engagement ring also 1 Like |
