I dont think its proper to list what you MUST have in a partner. It gives you an unrealistic expectation and you may end up waiting forever because you may never find all the qualities in one man and if you find the material quailities, he could also turn out to be your nemesis.

Does being in the US of A exempt someone from being poor? By schooling, I meant first degree dummy.

You know what guys, I’d really love to stay and chat, but I have a date with this really rich guy. So I have to go freshen up and look all cute and sexy.  wink

He’s most definitely the kind of guy I want to marry.  cheesy

Even with our University system, a guy that's still in school at the age of 30, for me is not an average guy. He is below average. Of course there could be some circumastances that can be excused, but generally, its not acceptable to me.

@ 30, a guy should be looking to start his family (even with the Nigeria system) and how can he do that if he dosent have all those thinsg I listed. A guy that's still struggling to get there at 35 is a mediocre as far as I'm concerned. Not that I judge them, I just dont want to end up with them!

i think you are very wrong.
A man dont have to own a house to settle down, do u know the cost of owning a house, or u mean have an apartment of his own?
I am sure that if all men has to wait till they build their own house, then, none will be married by now.
2. You yet to answer my question, a man that has skill and contact, what is wrong with yu as a good woman to help him and turn that to money and see it as a potential?
r231:

@Fhemmmy

personally dis is what I think no offence intended to whom it may concern, the way she is talking like i want dis and dat. The pple dat normally talk like dat are pple dat have never seen money b4 and are looking for the best opportunity to get their hands on it and she feel like as a woman since I have 2 boobs, an ass then dat can bring the riches dat my family can survive on, PERIOD

i think you have a good point, cos when someone never seen money and they have tasted real poverty, they will wanna do all possible to roll with the money they have never seen be4.

Ujujoan,

Be careful with your choice of men. Not all men are men.

Besides, in the modern time different people marry for different reasons.

My advice to you is to be very careful of the choice you make.

Money is not everything. Nobody knows tomorrow.

I have seen women who sponsored their husband through university and he landed a decent job at the end. He or she who laugh last, laughs best.

CBN releases list of banks' huge debtors
By Ade Ogidan Business Editor

http://nigeriaworld.com/

LATE last night, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) made good the promise by its Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi to publish the list of those who are indebted to the five banks, whose management were last Friday dissolved by the CBN.

Topping the list of the mega bad debtors is Ascot Offshore Nigeria Limited, which has N44.67 billion loan burden with Intercontinental Bank Plc. Its directors were named as Joey Chuma Obue, Samuel Aikhionbare, Henry Imasekha and Emmanuel Nwachukwu.

Also, Rockson Engineering Limited, with Mr. J.I.A Arumemi-Ikhide, owner of Arik Air and Mrs. Mary E. Arumemi-Ikhide as directors, is owing the same bank N36.99 billion.

Notore Chemical Industries Limited being operated by Onajite Okoloko was listed as owing Oceanic Bank N32.39 billion, secured from Oceanic Bank, while the troubled Transnational Corporation Plc has N30.86 billion to pay Union Bank, with Dr. Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke listed as its director.

Falcon Securities Limited, with Peter Ololo, Simbabe Joseph and Emmanuel Ugbo as directors, is owing Afribank N29.5 billion. The company is again owing Oceanic Bank N22.26 billion. Also, Rahamaniyya Global Resources Limited, owned by Abdul Rahaman Musa Bashir has a non-performing loan of N28.59 billion with Oceanic Bank.

Mid-Western Oil and Gas Company Plc, owned by Onijite Okoloko and Adams Okonen has N23.86 billion to pay Oceanic Bank.

Surprisingly, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Mr. Herbert Wigwe, managing director and deputy managing director of Access Bank Plc, respectively, are owing Intercontinental Bank N16.25 billion, through their company - United Alliance Company of Nigeria Plc.

Other top bad debtors listed by CBN include Mr. Femi Otedola, N12.8 billion (Intercontinental Bank) through his company, African Petroleum Plc and another N6.2 billion is owed Union Bank through his Zenon Oil; Mr. Oba Otudeko, immediate past president of Nigerian Stock Exchange, (NSE), N1.6 billion (Oceanic Bank) through Honeywell Group; and Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, N14.78 billion (Oceanic Bank), through Global Fleet Industries Limited.

Forbe's rated richest man in Nigeria and NSE president, Alhaji Aliko Dangote also has a non-performing loan of N2.5 billion to clear with Oceanic Bank, secured through Dangote Industries Limited.

Prince Fredrick Akinruntan, owner of Obat Oil and Petroleum Company was also listed to be owing Oceanic Bank N4.47 billion.

On the whole, over N746.19 billion non-performing loans were recorded against the mega debtors in the five banks.

With N278.20 billion, Oceanic Bank recorded the highest volume of the non-performing loans, followed by Intercontinental Bank with N210.9 billion.

Afribank is being owed N141.86 billion; Union Bank N73.58 billion; and Finbank N42.45 billion.

CBN, in the advertorial, described the debtors as the largest and vowed to continue publishing the list of the defaulters on an on-going basis.

The apex bank said: "Following the recent regulatory action of the Central Bank of Nigeria on the five banks, it has become necessary to use this medium to request the following defaulting customers of the affected banks to pay without further delay, their indebtedness, failing which the banks will take appropriate legal actions to ensure repayment.

I get the poster's point now: according to her, she has her stuff going on so she's justified in wanting a rich guy. I don't advise anybody to settle for less. tongue
Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by OvieE: 6:31pm On Aug 19, 2009
Uju do not know the meaning of life. She is a wasted/used bitch that want to reap what she did not sole. I have never write or join Nairaland. I used read people post day and night until I saw this one that make join Nairaland to give this barstand bitch a piece of my mind. Imaging you landed a such man today and get married, if your in-law find out that you are just fuckin trap getting what you did not plant, can face you mother in-law. What happen if the sister in-law face you as well, what you would do. Uju, you must be a Witch.

Dont mind Iyalode jare. All those fish and chips have clouded her head on how things are done in Naija. who's gonna tell some slowpoke who knocked someone up and didnt have the balls to say no to a pastor or relatives to know just dump the marriage after 10 years all in the name of "mordern living"

Make I hear word. He deserved what he got

Can that topic just die once and for all sheesh


Leave me alone oh angry Don't be selfish cheesy How can the topic that taught me about a great Nigerian tradition just die like that without us sharing it with others, walai if i knew this earlier, chei cheesy


@ Tpia

Thanks for the gem of wisdom I am gaining from Nigeria's trado-history lesson o jare, because of you I now know that


~ It is Nigerian tradition to marry the girl you impregnate by force tongue

~ It is Nigerian tradition to take marrriage seriously and not run at the slightest hint of trouble e.g you catch your hubby on top of another woman, your hubby discovered you married him solely for his money, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera shocked

Feel free to pass on more of your wisdom my way abeg kiss

Another thing I have learnt on Nairaland is that 95% of NL'ers would not marry a person whom their parents do not approve of either by virtue of wealth, tribe or whatever. By the way, I saw three threads on this subject before coming to my conclusion/figure.


Now some of the reasons given were "they are my parents and want the best for me" "They will be the one to settle fight for us if anything happens" etc. The point I am trying to raise is that if Nigerian parents are in support of arranged marriage, and the children don't mind, why can't someone like the poster "arrange" a rich man for herself to marry too, surely there is nothing wrong if you look at it from that angle cool Abeg no flame me, I am only trying to brainstorm and justify why there should be nothing wrong in marrying a rich man for future reference research purpose, thats all cheesy

@uju, once again here's everything about you.
MUZBO:


1. Beauty: 4/10- Don't contest this o. You sound smart though selfish but I know beauty is inversely proportional to intelligence in most cases, so you get 4.

2. Assets: (a) Two 5 bedroom duplexes in Lekki.- try sleeping in all the rooms.

(b)3 exotic cars costing 4-6 mills each.- Can they fly? Try removing all the passenger seats so your selfish self can ride alone.

(c) 10million in fixed depo at Oceanic bank.- bad investment babe! Brace up, the Ocean is coming to your doorstep.


3. You are a rocket scientist.- That don't impress me much.

I know I gave you more than you are worth but its what I do. Even your cousin will like me.

"I meet nice guys, good guys that really like me; but I can’t accept them cos they don’t have what all of the above. They could have some, but for me, the ones I listed are basic and non-negotiable"

"Am I being materialistic?"

I'm afraid you really are materialistic, b/cos apparently you would like to be with even a monster just for your 'non-negotiable' ambitions!


"I hate to have to give a guy a loan, give him my car to use, let him move into my house cos my apartment is better and then change the deeds of my property to our name.
I hate to have to buy my clothes cos he's not rich enough to afford the clothes I wear.
I hate to have to split the bills cos my pay check is better or even similar to his.
And above all, I hate to think he wants me for what I have to offer!!"

And I don't know what you expect the 'wealthy guys' to be doing now, jumping up?

Uju seems to be enjoying the attention she's getting. It's not a sin to have that ambition of marrying a rich guy. There're places to find such guys. By the way, let's see your picture for a better analysis kiss kiss
