[b] Uju,im being totally objective here.i will truly, truly run away from anything or anyone that sounds like you just like any reasonable man would, because i want a lady who will appreciate me(totally outside my accomplishments), not one that loves me because i have a ticket to the big life.even if ur guy was as rich,what makes u think he would go for you?he will probably go for the ministers daughters and not get to your level.
My advice: change your mentality, and do so fast!!!!

You know that's just the problem. Most girls want the same thing but they just lie and pretend about it. I dont!

I'm not asking for Limosines'Jeeps and bodyguards, and Estates and a 6 figure salary. I just want something a little above comfortable and I dont think that's asking for too much. If you want to run from someone like me, you might as well take a second look at that girl beside you!

it is good to know you have brains and can laugh too. dont let sweet mouth naija boys reduceyou to zero becos they love poverty.
Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by spikedcylinder: 10:59am On Aug 19, 2009
From the first post, it was obvious Uju was expecting to be insulted over her choice so all your abuse and insults are zilch. cheesy cheesy
Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by cyberjinx: 11:00am On Aug 19, 2009
uju you want to be totally certain of a fully financially secure life?then make your future yourself.YOU DONT NEED ANOTHER MAN'S WEALTH TO SECURE IT!

I have left so many chics for that same reason,(no offence,best decision of my life).im currently dating someone who is worth it.just the fact that she truly loved me when i was a mess, gives me the internal conviction to give her the best life has to offer.if you knew her you would understand when i say she is having quite a blast( and we aint married yet!)

It is no sin to want someone who is more than able to cater to ur financial needs, but note that it takes years of toil, blood and sweat to get there.If your man gets there without you, what does he need u for?

be careful, what you wish for,you may get it as well as the consequences of such a decision.im pretty sure that u r a nice person, so i'll advise again''change ur mentality, and do so fast'' Good men arent easy to find.

Best thread on Nairaland for year 2009 (so far)

After reading this (in bold), I think I am switching over to Uju's side  wink wink There is really no point suffering and losing out, when you can enjoy and lose out!!! uhnnnnnnn, food for thought!!! kiss

Ujujoan:

ROTFLMAO @ most of the posts here.

What’s all these beefing going on here? I never meant for this to be a challenge to all you broke ass NL guys. I don’t condemn you guys for being broke. I just don’t want your kind!! tongue

As for the ladies with the insults, I can only say you are jealous I have the courage and boldness to go for what I want. If you want to manage with a struggling guy . . . well, good luck! Me, I want the already made. At what cost I get them is my problem and problem only! grin grin

I read this on this forum sometime ago titled 'Why you need not marry a poor man' and I quote:

‘[b]The reality as I see it is that for a girl who marries a financially struggling guy; it’s head or tail, you still lose. Most often, when a girl marries a man who has little or no financial stability, she is forgotten when the going gets good. Look at it this way, what happens is that the wife wears herself out trying to make ends meet and carries the burden of the family. The husband gradually begins to see her as his slave or servant and treats her as one, regardless of her education and career. Trust me, I see this happen all the time. Ladies in such marriages do not buy expensive clothes and perfumes, they do not go to a Spa or gym; neither do they go for a manicure or pedicure. Their family is their life and they are ready to sacrifice their comfort for the comfort of their family. What happens? Their husbands begin to admire other ladies outside and begin to see their wives as unwanted baggage or package.

You see, when a girl marries a guy who, as they say, ‘has arrived’ or is ‘ready-made’, she has little to lose if the relationship does not work. In fact, she probably will have gained one or two things (except the guy was very miserly) to make up for her broken heart. In other words, during the moments of reflective regrets over the ended relationship, this lady would not be thinking about the labors of love she put into the relationship; how she did his laundry, cooked his meals, constantly spent time and energy trying to stretch the budget, going without a car, and on and on. For the girl who married a rich guy, after the divorce she will be concentrating on mending her broken heart. And in many cases, she will have the divorce settlement to use to try and put her life together[/b].’


What can I say, I totally agree with it!!

If that's what you think, then so be it. But I dont think my desires has anything to do with my tribe. I'm not even a typical Ibo girl. I'm just Ibo by origin.
Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by impish: 11:25am On Aug 19, 2009
@ UJu - Uve finally spoken out! well, u asked for our advice, n we gave it. Its not always pretty, but it is wot it is! We r all very different and we c the world from different pairs of eyes. Did u really mean it wen u said u dint want to pay the bills or were u just jokin?? pls tell me it was a joke!

I wud luv to wish u all the best in ur quest, but that wud inevitably b cursing the unlucky dude that gets stuck with u! lol!

I notice u just want a rich man, must he hav class too? If ur all these thins (rich and classy), ur chances of landin u a rich and classy man r good, but if ur none, then chances r stand a better chance wantin just a rich man. Cos these days, i tell u, its all abt levels in naij oh!

finally, my advice is that u mustnt voice this ur opinion outside of NL and certainly nowhere near any potential guy. They will run, and some may judge u even worse than we hav here. In the mean time, focus on improving urself as a person on the inside and outwardly as well. Get a good job, always look ur best and look good. U dont need millions to do this. Hopefully, ul meet a guy who luvs u dearly and cares for u n u luv too. N whos successful as well. Cant believe Im sayin this! Chei! This icecream im eating is making me very happy oh! grin grin grin

C'mon! Try me nau. Ok lemme help your scared a$s.

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.
N.B: with all these plus a better score on beauty, you are still at the middle of the food chain in my league.

Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by FilaMann: 12:07pm On Aug 19, 2009
When I marry, I expect my wife to cook delicious meals, clean the house, keep it sassy, pamper me to pieces, be pleasing to my friends, family, look drop dead gorgeous regardless what time of day!! I don’t care how she was when I married her but from that wedding day, ha, she MUST represent, I can’t stand for anything less and besides, I have a rep to protect.

So if she needs me to provide the latest kitchen, cleaning equipment to workers to go with it, Jacuzzi, regular trips to the spa, holidays abroad (my kids CANNOT be raz), money for correct chops and things, etc, etc, etc, I damn well will pay for it!! In fact she will be so busy taking care of me and enjoying the job that she dare not look elsewhere.

So UjuJoan, if you want to marry a rich man, we dey, just be ready to honour, obey and in fact worship, the rest na jara!

Forget wat ur dreams and aspirations are about a future man u prefer, U must suffer!!!, cry and sweat in a marital home to get the kind of man u intend to marry. Just pray to God to get u the best of friend, brother and husband, Finito!

Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by Feraz(m): 12:28pm On Aug 19, 2009
I thank u 4 one thing, u are being honest. Dat's fine but mind u by d tym u turn 28 (which i'm sure u are not up to) without a guy proposing to u, u'l become extremely desperate with thoughts of many regrets (wishing u accepted d previous suitors).

Those of u cursing d igbos,
Abeg na beg i de beg, not all igbos are like dat. It depends on personality. Thank u.
Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by soldee: 12:42pm On Aug 19, 2009
People please, Uju is obviously not a 'No Romance with No Finance' babe! She's talking of the long haul o! Marriage involves a lot of bills, bills, and more bills. After the honeymoon there's house rent, furniture, pikin, school fees, upkeep, food, clothes, more kids, things getting old, needing replacement, borehole, electricity, gen, fuel, car plus S = cars, hospital bills, permanent house amen!, extended family bills, holidays, not to talk of maintenance, man, it never ends. I wonder why guys on this thread are shouting blue murder! Una wan marry then stop spending?? Abeg stop EMBARAZING us!!
Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by waterworks(f): 12:50pm On Aug 19, 2009
chaii you are more than materialistic. you are even stupid on top.

I believe a guy that doesn’t have all these things at age 28-30 might never be rich again
shakes head
how old are you and what do you have?
