Na so dem dey set people up ni

Dailyparrot:


This question is confusing.

Is her concern about the amount the driver earns or about how demeaning being an Uber driver is?

Does she have problem with identifying the guy as an Uber driver or she's just worried about the income compared to hers?

Uber driving is like any other driving job, it is humiliating but rewarding. So, I don't know what her concerns are

Matheusmartin:
.
And the lady in question, if you check very well, is most likely jobless.

crackhaus:

Then this is all that matters.

She could also set him up for bigger opportunities through her connections.

>My good friend Buka.tyne recently convinced me that you modern women are also good at developing your men.

CountVersailles:

Far from it

Iyaebe:
No I will not,I don't know how to lie and pretend.

mrblessed:
I don't think you have a scintilla of love for this hardworking man, the very reason you are not proud of his means of livelihood. With this mindset of yours, the young has no business being close to you, since you are already convinced that he does not fit into your "class." This needlessly self-created ordeal of yours feeds to the popular trope/narrative about women's obsession of marrying financially stable and well-to-do guys, and their corresponding disdain for men who are "struggling."

Who says he is going to be an Uber driver forever? You? The problem with ladies who think they have achieved a degree of success is their irrational fondness to look down on men, even those with good prospects. I will advice you focus on "executive" men out there, whom you are convinced suffer no job hazard that is lethal. It's more appropriate for you because these men match your "executive" social status and appear way more presentable, instead of a mere driver who earns peanut for a living.

crackhaus:

But men do it for you people na...

Bola146:
Mumu question, are they not human beings? Are they not hardworking? must you depend on his earnings? Ladies too are doing the work.

CountVersailles:
Ladies, can you marry someone who does uber full time? No other source of income besides uber every week. He earns well though and invests his money. But has no other source of income.

The lady in question is a top executive at a venture capital. They met in his uber car.

Nanaborga:


She’s asking if you can marry an Uber driver , yes or no

JOACHINpedro:

Na convent be the last resort o
Safety in Nigeria is now in God's hand.

How is it a mumu question?
I've come to discover one thing here and that, Not letting people express their feelings. You expect people to talk or react in a certain way or the way you want.

Op has sincerely expressed her concerns over a matter and only wants to have everyones take as she believes it will be different from hers and all you need do is share your thoughts instead of the name calling.

Ok, going by your submission. Can you marry an aboki "shoe shinner"? It's a harmless question and no one is saying they are not human beings but every one has his or her reservations about certain choices in life and you shouldn't criticize them for it.

DaInferno:
abegi...Don't bring other things into it, it's uber driver they asked,not aboki shoe shiner.

But you were on the above thread canvassing for the Op to marry an SSCE holder who has nothing going for her.

You didn't think the Op then had his reservations and concerns.

I guess these are some of the reasons I trolled you in the past.

Generaloluseye:


You are that lady

CountVersailles:

No I'm not. Wake up from your dreaming.

Holybwoy:


Your sister contemplating to even settle down with an Uber driver meant only one thing- she doesn't mind how much he earns..

My bro is looking for a woman with great future who they can pull resources together to achieve greatness.. he will also give her the chance to be anything she wants to be..

For emphasis, he owns his own construction firm on the island

An aboki shoe shinner is mostly uneducated & doesn't earn as much as an Uber driver. An Uber driver makes around 40k a week or more if he his serious.

The point is nobody wants to end up with a struggling dude.

Mercychen:


You don't get my point. I was just trying to make her understand that every one is entitled to his/her choice. While she may not see anything wrong in settling for an Uber driver, another person may have her reservations and it doesn't make them a " mumu". It's a matter of choice and you can't force your opinion on others just because you feel it's "right"

Also, you cant speak for everyone as pe " nobody wants to go for a struggling man". Its an Individual choice. I know some girls who settled for struggling guys for reasons best known to them. After all, it's women that are marrying guys living in one room face me I slap you and bearing many children in that one room apartment. So??

Let's free one another, abeg. Allow people to make their choice without making them look or feel bad with unecessary criticisms.
Its their life and not yours. They will be the ones to live with it, not us.

truthsayer009:


"As pe" Yoruba slang

Omo its not individual choice anything oh, no woman will open her eyes and settle for less if she has a better option. The bottom line is that she has a higher status and has a choice of better men in the nearest future if she keeps looking, but the person available now is a struggling Uber driver.

So that's the reality, no woman wants to suffer. The people who agreed to live in face me I slap you never found men who were willing to upgrade them. They simply went with their poor options.

My worry is when men are making their own choices, it looks like suddenly life is unfair to the ladies. When in reality we are also trying to avoid poverty.

Mercychen:


Again, I repeat. It's a matter of choice.
I've left a Yankee pastor suitor before for a struggling guy. I mean.. a struggling guy who was squatting at the time just because I dig him more than the pastor guy. So, whenever I say something, it always from personal experience not what I heard.

It's only when there's no love for that fellow that people come up with a gazillion of excuses.

truthsayer009:


I think I have read this story from you before, i can bet my life on it that there was so much more to the struggling dude than just the tag _struggling_ , besides a good looking tall guy will be giving more consideration. So i can guess the Pastor guy was short, black and ugly, or has anger issues. There must have been something terrible about the Pastor suitor.

I wasn't born yesterday, trust me. Women don't go for second best. Never ever will it happen!

Mercychen:



Lol... In fact, you just stated the opposite.

The pst was taller, fresher, more "ajebotic" with a very polished diction. Very Clean and gentle guy while the struggling guy was average, dark, ugly and rugged. Though, he too got a good dress Sense and speaks well too but no job, no house.
I think I chose him over the pst guy because I had feelings for him but I didn't have feelings for the pst. He was just too gentlemanly for my liking. But the other guy was more "streetwise" in a responsible and respectful way though.

truthsayer009:


Alright let's agree to disagree then, because I don't believe a word you say.

I can pretend that I believe but there is no point pretending.
