I see no reason why one would complain about been taken to Buka to eat. When about 80% of Nigerian's successful milllionnaires has in one way or the other had the experience of either, eating, selling Buka foods. Buka foods are everywhere, the only diffference is the name given to the place you are eating and the eviron it falls into. In schools ranging from primary to tertiary institutions, all the food vendors are no different from the one's out side. Though when you talk of neatness, the food sellers out side may be lacking that but not all. If you look for the meaning of the word Bukateria you will get this :bukateria n. a cafeteria, canteen, or simple eating-place. Come to think of it, are the fastfood joints that people so much believe in, in this category or not? Most people has attributed the word to the food joints in the ghetto part of their vicinity. Pardon my english. When it gets to some stage I become the fumbling type. |

Its only the deprived and broke ass that would love stuff they've never been used to like fast foods and all. Go to bukas like Ghana High commission on the island or White house in Sabo and you'll see the clientele. Most big boys and chicks go there during lunch hour break. Infact your celebrities are not missing in action as they've love stuff close to what their mama'll give them. There was a time i wen there to eat and i saw this guy that came in a convoy, sirens, police escort and all and he came to eat in a big buka at this place facing the bar beach on the island. FactorChic: Factorchic i'm sorry to say you are myopic when it comes to the issue of being romantic. Hmm "classy".What does classy mean to you?It is a relative term. Because your idea of "class" tells the scope of your horizon. If fancy restaurants is classy to you, then you'll cum a 100 times when u are shown real class. Get real! |

haba wot is wrong buying my gurl friend buka food every time she comes to my place? I see nothing wrong in that oo. If she's really hungry she would get in tha kitchen and cook something for us to eat. Would it be a crime if she asked for some money,get food stuff and cook? Afterall thats tha way most gurls treat their male friends,why should hers be different? Lets face it, she cant cook!  |

You claim you hardly had time to stay with him and relax. So he should be thankful that you were there at all. I now gathered two things from you. (1) What so ever you guys do together are always in a rush rush situation as in rushed passion so that you can go back to your most esteemed job. (2) He has to steal a few minutes to rush out to buy you Iya Basira food while checking on his watch because time is running out else he come back a bit late for you to tell him your boss wants you in the office with immediate effect and automatic alacrity. And there will be no love making that day and only heavens knows when you will come to his place again. So how can you expect him to take a drop to the nearest Mr. biggs to buy you tantalized food when every second count in your relationship with him and only God knows he has other plans for you with a time limit. I honestly think the only reason he has to rush out to buy the food in the first place is that he doesn't want you to say you have no strength because you were hungry. Believe me you are the one killing the relationship and if I were to be him I will have Left you since long time Imo river and you were thinking of gift. Where will you have the time to collect the Gift? Wise up my friend and organise your relationship with that guy and get it defined and set you priority straightened out cos that guy loves you hence putting up with those stolen half baked passion. |

| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by Emad(f): 3:10pm On Aug 08, 2007 |
i think that he is a stingy guy take note of this, a boy who does not mind other people paying for he and his girl friend's food in a classy restaurant is a stingy guy he shd be able to save once in a while and buy youu food from the good restaurant, change him now if this continues it will be too late when you get married |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by ariblaze(m): 3:31pm On Aug 08, 2007 |
Emad: typical female response the guy has to be stingy, he cant be saving for a car or a home? woe betide any broke man who dates a woman like you |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by Emad(f): 3:59pm On Aug 08, 2007 |
see me trouble he is saving 25 naira in order to save to buy a car of 500 000 naira which kind talk be that  |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by ariblaze(m): 5:16pm On Aug 08, 2007 |
Emad: lol i still dont agree with you but am impressed half expected you to flare up as regards my rejoiner to your initial writeup earlier |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by Emad(f): 11:26am On Aug 09, 2007 |
i am sorry but i loose respect for boys who find nothing wrong with another man paying for the food of HE and HIS GF he shd have more dignity than that |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by yewaman1(m): 1:14pm On Aug 09, 2007 |

Emad: |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by Emad(f): 2:17pm On Aug 09, 2007 |
what dont you get? I feel it is dimeaning for a guy to accept that EACH time he and his GF are taken to a good restaurant it is someone else who pays he shd make an effort to take her there at least once the fact that he is not dignified enough to see it this way, makes him a Japanese handbreak, STINGY |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by angelchi(f): 2:25pm On Aug 09, 2007 |
If u no like d food mak u tell am, or better still mak him bring d money mak u tak cook abi him no get stove? jus kidding bt no harm in telling him hw u feel. |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by ariblaze(m): 5:06pm On Aug 09, 2007 |
Emad: ok now i get you |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by Ndipe(m): 9:35pm On Aug 09, 2007 |
Yeah, he can invest 25 Naira in one of those get rich quick schemes in Nigeria and reap thousands of dollars. Have you not been reading this board about these schemes? (I am just being sarcastic)  |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by ariblaze(m): 8:00am On Aug 10, 2007 |
Ndipe: you could have fooled me |

Well it is his money, he has the right to do anything he wants with it. If I want something and my boyfriend cant afford to buy it I buy it for myself. I believe it is good for a woman to do Some stuff for herself. Saves a lot of unnecessary drama. It is not about being stingy but you have to realise that people have plans, people work and plan to do things with money they earn, some people hate their jobs but hang on to it because they need the money, so if i was a guy am sure i will have a list of things to do with money any other thing that comes up may distort my budget and anything unbudgeted for should not take too much from my income. I may be wrong but am sure a lot of reasonable young men just starting life will have a budget , it will even be easier for him to learn how to cook to reduce expenses. It is not about being cheap or stingy it is about having foresight and planning for the future |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by ariblaze(m): 11:28am On Aug 10, 2007 |
well said  |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by Emad(f): 2:34pm On Aug 10, 2007 |
Oh so now it is about long term plans eh? he shd remember that his prioritys are long term plans when he is shagging the girl If you want a GF , u shd remember that it does not cost nothing, he shd put her on his Profit and loss account like an expense the same way he pays his electricity and water bills, he shd put GF up keep NONSENSE, nah some of wona sabi weti wona di tolerate |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by Nobody: 4:01pm On Aug 10, 2007 |
Emad:Are you saying people now have to pay for girlfriends? I am a girl and i believe that a man should be the head in a relationship, however, it should not be at his inconvience. The guy has tried to give her what he can afford. women should learn that a boyfriend is not a bank, i believe in doing things for myself oh. It gives you more respect. Consider that the guy is a young man, he has to plan his life otherwise he will be in the same position for years to come. As a chick, you should be more concerned about building your own life instead of thinking of sucking money off a guy. You have the same number of hands and feet why would i want to wait for a guy to suffer and work and come and give me his earnings. I am not saying it is wrong for a guy to do things for his babe but it is not a right and it shoukd not be at his inconvience, it is a gift not by force |

Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! Ans: And So What? |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by Emad(f): 4:20pm On Aug 10, 2007 |
no aisha2 i do not agree not at all, as much as i might be liberated i feel there is a minimum a guy shd do It is not necessary to take her to good restaurants all the time if he cant afford it BUT he must make an effort to take her once in a while If he does not mind other people paying for him, it simply means he is too stingy to do so himself Like i said it is not the 25naira you will save today that will help you buy a car of 500K he shd release his hand |
| Re: My Boyfriend Buys Me Buka Food! by Nobody: 4:34pm On Aug 10, 2007 |
My Sister it is not 25 naira difference. Buka food cost maybe a hundred Naira and mr. biggs cost over 500 naira, 400 naira difference, in a month that translates to 12000, in a year 144000. Sorry for the calculus, but it is necessary for you to remove the 25 naira difference from your mind. Me sha, and this is my personal oppinon, i feel that it is really expensive eating out if you calculate it in the long run. Talkless of feeding yourself and another person especially if you are young and starting life. I went out with a guy for years and earlier on when things were tight you cannot imagine the management of resources strategies we used to save money, we are still young and struggling but things are not as tight as they use to be. At that time when people were tripping he taught it wise to invest in shares and i supported him, now it is paying off but we are still investing because we both set a target of what we want to achieve and we are walking towards that. I don't think love is all about eating fried rice as we see in Nigerian films, it is much deeper than that. |

aisha2: Chei! I never looked at it from this angle before. So a lil N500 here and N400 there could translate to so much spent? I've gotta watch it. And the ladies usually don't appreciate your efforts. Thanks for the tip. Very helpful indeed! Cheers |
