DonCrust: A friend of mine busted into tears right in the presence of over a thousand students when his girlfriend told him she perceives a blunt future ahead of him and all these was simply because of a dinner gown. She eventually dump him via SMS about a week later. Dump him because of dinner gown? ? I give up totally on Nigerian girls |

A whole lot of guys have lost their relationships cos the chicks don't see the potentials. It takes the grace of God to keep a long relationship these days when one is not making progress financially. But there are still ladies who would stay and encourage the guy who is making effort to step up even when the 'step up' doesn't look certain. My case is always my example. Had a six years relationship that suffered financial set back for the first 4yrs. Lost my first job in the bank, got another 6months later but still Could not find my feet. Being the first of 5kids and bread winner to about 12younger ones,(including 7 orphaned cousins), with 6 in the university, my 250k 'cool salary' was not cool enough...i was always broke before 20th of the next month. It got me thinking if my girl would stay. All that while I was gathering professional qualifications and a masters degree, hoping for something better. Finally light came...got into oil/gas last year, the white interviewer said he never saw another banker with so much extra qualifications...'where u get the time', he said in pidgin. So that was how It went and everything changed. we got married 8months after that. Today when we talk about those times, she will tell me she stayed because she knew deep down dat the extra steps I was taking in my life would pay some day, but that she always prayed the someday comes quickly cos ladies and age are not friends. 21 Likes 1 Share |

marieolae: sick nd tired of men stero typing ladies Why do you think he is stereotyping ladies If you have read most of the comments here by the ladies so far it's about steady great job, money for transportation or recharge cards, or trading from Lagos to Aba. It's good to be factual so that guys know the score and ginger themselves to face the task and realities Money is the game..Dont hate that game What is potential to you Remember that not all potential is actualized Also remember that rich dude one married may fall on hard times or die premature Once again..what Is potential to you |

marieolae: sick nd tired of men stero typing ladies Stereotypes don't come out from the air or just a figment of one's biased imagination.... Stereotypes are informed calculations and positions based on prevailing and dominant scenarios... In essence, there's a reason why a man would say "Nigerian ladies love money"... However much a stereotype it is.. At the very basic level it's true..so don't be sick and tired you hear 1 Like |

Did you say she had done engagement with the guy? She will have big problems with her present marriage soon. She shouldn't have waited to such a convenanting level at all. Her decision was late especially after collecting bride price. |

A man with potential has a plan. He also has empowerment to fulfill the plan. He is obviously different from the crowd when you sample his opinions and idiosyncracies. He has a strong belief system and he follows up on his convictions. @OP while you might think I am kidding but that your friend needs deliverance from the spirit of "Arsene Wenger" 1 Like |

Tallesty1: The guy has a problem.I know people did not like your comment cos of the "no girl friend", but you are right to some extent. Yes he shld not have the "regular" type of girlfriend that bugs his life make demands, pressurizes him. A good girl friend is ALWAYS a good motivation towards achieving your set goals. Apart from that you are absolutely right! Cheers 2 Likes |

Nashville your friends stroy is a very sad one. Sometimes marriage actually improves the "potentials" of BOTH parties and marriage is the catalsyst that actually opens doors to success. 2 heads is better than one and when you know that someone has your back, supports you, prays for you, belives in you, advises you, encourages you and the like, then you are more confident to go out there and give it all you have. Today many Husbands and Wives are enjoying the priviledges of their in-laws & not their own potentials; Especially husbands, Many husbands today are working in places where their in-laws knew someone who know someone. So really their " reaching their potential" today was as a result of someone else giving them a helping hand. Yes a lazy man with grandiose dreams needs to be run away from with speed, but generally speaking most people want to make it in life, its just that they dont have the oppourtunities and may need a helping hand especually in the envionment that we come from where jobs are few and unsecured small bank loans are not very easy to get if at all. If Nashvilles friend had someone who could offer him a good job, wouldnt he suddenly be a man with potential? 7 Likes 1 Share |

What happens to a lady with a potential? Abeg,this time n age,is not only a man stuff Ooº°Ú Ú°ºoo. A person with a potential is the one who knows his/er worth, focus and has the driven force to pursue. You can't allow laziness both mentally and physical to be ur cloth. It is not about what you are earning now but about what you would soon start earning when you do everything necessary to improve on urself, living within your means and be humble enough to admit it. Avoid the need to impress a lady(this is for fake guys) or anybody and see how favours come your way. If you follow the precept of success, you will succeed with or without God. With God, the journey is easier! 1 Like |
Re: Who Is A Guy With Potential? by YourCoffin: 7:51am On Sep 03, 2014 |
Here in Niaja, how potential a guy is, is closely tied to the number of digits in his bank statement. If a guy has more than ten million written on it, he has an overdose of potential. It doesn't matter what he did or doing or didn't do to get the money or if the money is actually his. I'm sure that if your friend had shown the lady a bank statement with ten million written on it, she would have given birth to their third child by now. 2 Likes |

flyca: OP, Personal Experience. I understand your point here, but ladies have to bear it in their minds that men are finding it more difficult to earn a living nowadays. As a man, I have found a lady who have done that for me too especially as a fresh graduate without any job. The matter was so worse to the extent that I always go to sites then looking for blocks to carry upstairs in other to find money to apply for some jobs, but without any job coming forth. In short, this ladies left all of a sudden, I was devastated and all my dreams with her died, but life goes on: it pains me to the extent that for over three years I avoid any other relationship and face my life squarely. But all glory be to God Almighty who has changed my life for better. My work is Ok: my life becomes more meaningful, and my education is still in progress: but it alwlays pains me that she laboured but refused to reap what she has shown. I met her by chance sometimes ago, and I offered her financial help willingly. She appreciated it but wept cos I made her to understand that a megre help like this was not my plan for her. Ladies be more patient with guys please. 3 Likes |

Re: Who Is A Guy With Potential? by UjSizzle(f): 8:03am On Sep 03, 2014 |
Everyone has potentials, you just need the right resources (mindset inclusive) and find yourself in the right place to maximize what you've got. There'll be factors working for or against you, depending on how you choose to view it. After all we see some surfers ride the waves, and others get swept away by it. A measure of faith and support is all anyone who chooses to ride the wave needs. If he's one for pity parties and lamentations of how the universe is against him, well then..... As for the OP and his friend, there is nothing wrong in a woman looking for some financial stability or whatever else she wants existent in her future. Some people aren't very 'hopeful' when results aren't manifesting within a given time frame. And of course there will always be stereotypes: men will be bread winners; women will have to battle with the biological clock. Society isn't always on anyone's side. 1 Like |
