a guy who didnt cry after finding out that his girl friend is getting laid by his padi.

A man who has a decent life and has action plan on hw to live a beta life. He must b earning a decent living frm his talent,biz,occupation, ability, skills, education, certificate or wateva is in him.
For eg
Having a first class degree n sitting at home jobless for two yrs is nt a potential but having a first class degree and working for a coy for 80k per month salary n having an action plan on hw to land dt 500k per month salary in oil coy is a potential.
Potential is a way of sayin I am beta than wat life is giving me at d moment n u make dt statement by wat u ve achieved so far, wat u r doin right nw n wat u plan to do in future.

cococandy: Some guys mistake potential to be plans or dreams. Hence a graduate young man hoping to get a job at Shell while doing some unfulfiling job will think he has potential because he's educated and has big dreams.

Potential is the guy who turns lemon into lemonade.

He's focused and doesn't waste his time regaling the babe with his 'plans' for the future.

He's calculative.
The guy who didn't get a job when he left school but his shop that he started with 200k is worth millions now because he doesn't mind traveling to the north or to Togo to buy goods cheaper and doesn't mind driving a keke napep to deliver his goods to his clients on time. Thereby creating a huge customer base and more success from his little capital.

Potential is not by mouth.
If you're driven,it won't be a secret.

correct!
God bless you with a potential guy...make sure you stand by him o,even if he decides to start from frying akara...

I see a guy with "potential" as that man who has a "vision" and he is working hard to truly "achieve" his "dreams"; no matter the challenge(s)/difficulties he has to undergo!!


A guy with "true potential" would never allow that "dream" of his to "die" inside of him!!

To the ladies: A guy with potential is one with a good Job or. business and is evident that the way he is going, he stands a good chance of turning out very big in life. Eg, A fresh graduate working as a manager with a multinaational coy.

To the guys: A guy with potential is one who has good visions for his life. He may or may not achieve those visions. Eg a First class graaduate teaching in a community secondary hoping to land a job with NLNG some day.

In summation, I don't really blame the ladies, why go into a marriage with the potential to suffer for God knows how long. I'm not saying be a gold digger but select the guy that will at least assure you of good food, good clothing and good shelter.

Abi who be the guy wen wan make em sister suffer?

!@op a guy with potential is a guy who doesn't Stop and ask for directions when a woman is in the car.

A guy with potential(s) should be one that has a bright future not one that doesn't even know where he is going.

A guy with potential(s) should be able to decipher so many things that are related to his life,he is a factual thinker and is also very smart.

The problem with some ladies is that they want to eat their cake and still have it. Some ladies like the one in this story knows what she wants and she went for it. She wanted a man that is independent in thoughts and free in the mind. A man who do not compromise bc of family, friends or love to achieve...such the kind of men that makes it in life anyway. (such ladies don't complain of less attention from the man; they are very understanding) on the other hand, some ladies want just the kind of man as dis ribbed in this story. a man that is simple and easy going, religious, homely and "caring" in the sense that they touch, kiss, smoosh gently and tenderly all the time. Of course such men don't have the drive to make it in life (especially in a place like Nigeria) even when the opportunity knocks, they are too shy or to afraid to take it up bc in most cases it might involve keeping late nights, travelling for long or in some instances living apart from their spouse initially or along the line. These type of men are prefared by some ladies even if they don't make it in life.
But problems starts when a lady wants a man who has potentials to make it in life as well as the same qualities as in the second kind of man(especially when they are both self starters).
I hope my long story answers your questions

Nashville: Ok Ladies ehhn and gentlemen. I just want to ask you what it means for a young man to have potential. Most men are not Dangote when they get married but our young ladies all want to marry a guy with "potential" even if he isnt Dangote yet. So what does "potential" mean? I asked because of a recent incident.

I bumped into one of my close family friends recently and it was sooo good to see him after four years. The last time I saw him was at his introduction/engagement ceremony and he seemed very happy with his soon to be wife. That was 2009 - I was holidaying in Lagos. So seeing him four years later, I asked after madam and he said he wasn't married. I look shocked and asked him what happened to his marriage only for him to say he was never married. So I asked after the babe we met then and he now started telling me the long story.

They did the introduction and all seemed well, but the girl kept on saying he was not motivated or driven enough and she had doubts about their future financially. At that time he didnt have a good job but he was hoping something better will come up soon. Eventually the girl left him later that year and he was devastated. When I heard that I was sooo mad that the first thing that I said was

"these useless 9ja girls, I hope she is somewhere still very single and regretting her actions".

He then replies, that she is married now, and she even has a child sef. Somehow, the thing just pained me even more. Because this is a very nice young man that I know that wouldnt cheat or beat his wife. Easy going, handsome, God fearing gentleman, so why would a young lady leave him for such a flimsy excuse other than greed or being a gold-digger. I just encouraged him generally and told him, he will get a better babe.

But after sometime, I just reflected on the whole incident. The guy was 30 in 2009 and he didnt have a good job. Now, he is 35 and still struggling. Not much progress. Even though, he is a very nice guy, but I just started thinking to myself. Was the girl right after all? Did she see something I wasn't seeing? Is he truly motivated or was this girl another 9ja gold-digging babe. Because after five years, it seemed my guy still hadn't made much progress and at 35, shouldn't a guy be on his feet?

So I ask you ladies, those that are not gold-diggers; what is expected of a potential marriage partner. What does it mean to have potential. Your thoughts are very welcome. Guys please contribute as well.

potentials in this ur context will mean a guy having a BIG N ARTICULATED D1CK, the one wen it gets erected cant even be explain by googling the outcome.
in naija potentials dont fetch money it will only worsen it esp if u aint connected.

What about d ladies, dem no dey get potentials sef? Let dem be talking about guys, like say guys get special tin wey dem dey benefit frm marriage....

The most important thing is God's favour and diligence. That's what turns potential to wealth.
Nigeria has potential just like Kuwait and Dubai. See us, see them.

Potential ko...Kinetic ni

That guy who not only knows what he wants, but has a flexible masterplan on how to get it...and is working towards it...

He doesn't drink,smoke,womanise,go out late or mingle with bad people.He must not be necessarily very rich,but he has ambition,he has a set goal he's working on achieving.#fromaprimarysixstudentperspective

all4naija: For Nigerian ladies, he's the one who is loaded with dolls

Yungwizzzy: A guy who smoke weed

madame pls can you explain further @bolded. Thks

.

All this grammar u guys are speaking and dodging the truth so u dnt cut across as shallow, God is watching oh

Who is a guy with potential?

A GUY WITH POTENTIAL IS THAT GUY THAT IS CURRENTLY FINANCIALLY STABLE WITH A HIGH TENDENCY TO INCREASE THAT FINANCE AS THE YEARS PROGRESSES.

In the current financial realities on ground, be earning, at the very least 150k (give or take), hv a job/buisness that can atleast double that revenue in say, every 5yrs ... oh, and I am refering to those under 30. The requirements change as the age increases.

Ladies and gents, that is potential for you.

I disagree with point 3.
A guy that make religion a personal thing.
religion make people to be lazy, a man that uses common sense and logic is a guy with potential.

premier league is the big deal chick. .. I will watch my chelse vs Tottenham over any ladyany day any time

everyone has potential,but the problem is the will and the driving force of ur own potential,ours is a materialistic world,so without finacial capability it seems one has failed to achieve his.
Personal experience,i have a girl i once loved,and she claim she loves me,inasmuch that she can attest to the fact that am trying to make both ends meet,i was not driving a car,but i was richer than most car owners,i have good business plans and was even building a house for the future,but when a guy from the states came for her,she ran to him and from what i heard recently,she is getting married to him this saturday and yet she still calls me on phone,telling me am the best guy to her yet she is getting married this saturday

kolamilan: i like this thread. Nice one guys.

You should be more interested in the comments if the ladies

So fat it has been materially inclined

Kudi..owo..

Not necessarily a bad thing

Guys should know the score so as to step up

fruqsy:
correct!
God bless you with a potential guy...make sure you stand by him o,even if he decides to start from frying akara...

Potential no dey reach that side oo..lol

Money, Money, Money.

1000 steps to please a woman.

1: Give her money.
2-1000: Repeat step 1.

That's potential.

Case Study: Nigerian Ladies.

I've said it, time and again. It's a waste of time with Nigerian girls. I gave up on them decades ago.
