bro, dont mention it, i have sleepless night when thinking of this BS move Alonso made this year, and as hard as i am telling myself it will be better eventually, every weekend it is getting worse and worse...especially when i now see Ferrari getting on the level of Mercedes (let alone Vettel moving there, KAI!!!!!). the thread is closed if not, i would have cried my eyes out on that thread, lol!
Hahahaha couldn't have happened to a nicer person. I doubt Alonso would score a point this year. Ferrari has improved on Vettel's arrival, Red Bull has declined since Vettel's exit. Coincidence? I think not

The thread is still open check very well. I still posted about the last race in Montreal

MRBrownJ:
i fully understand that she must sit down and talk to her man FIRST, so she knows exactly where she stands in that union, but what i dont understand is the people blaming the guy for having goals in his life and following them. she cannot force something like that and it should come naturally. who would even want to be marrying someone who wouldnt say YES genuinely? this is no different than emotional blackmail (and some women are expert at it).
Truthfully I don't respond very well to ultimatums and emotional blackmail which is why if the guy is anything like me the girl might as well do like CeCe and keep on Walking. Women would be women and they all crave marriage at some point. I'm sure if it was a shorter relationship she wouldn't even be here asking this question, she would have since voted with her feet

Let's be clear I'm not saying the guy is at blame for anything. Same way the girl has every right to walk out of this relationship if its not going to have a desirable outcome for her. They should be willing to meet each other halfway.

bro A40
they started like that, grew up like that, and got down like that....for 7yrs. the lady's "assumptions" is what failed her, not this man. as she said, their goals was to ultimately have a good job, and obviously, this guy aint got one yet. would you rather he sets his goals aside in order to build a family with the wrong foundation? (to each their own as to what their foundations should be)
McLaren no try oo! Because of wetin dem do Alonso you no dey post for F1 section again.

The goal of any person is to get a good job/business. I agree Nigeria of now is at the worst possible time to get married without a steady income. However I see nothing wrong with the girl trying to find out her position. I don't agree with biting your tongue for anybody and I don't think that's what the girl is suggesting but clearly she wants a commitment and I see nothing wrong with that. I've been there before only difference I tell these girls to do what works for them when they start acting funny or droning over and over about marriage. They are at two different places if you ask me

MRBrownJ:
so let me get this straight, your woman that you dated for 7yrs starts to evaluate worthless strangers/donkeys that are asking her hand in marriage, and therefore out of fear of losing her to these puppets, you will now discuss marriage with her?! ahahahahahahaha come on bro!
if you can lose your woman to these deadbeat useless men, then this lady was never yours to begin with, and even if she was, she would have quickly given up on the union at the sight of the slightest problem. so no man should be afraid of losing such liability of a woman, NONE!

men will ALWAYS chat your woman up (if she is a dead banger) but the important point here is NOT for you to shield her from that, oh no, the important point is for her to RESPECT herself, RESPECT you and most importantly RESPECT your union. if she is using any of these useless donkey to try to blackmail you into doing anything you are not ready to do, then she is not fit to keep as your woman. you should have enough haterz in your life, rather than having a gf who is also working against you and your goals in life.

now if she wants you guys to get married, let her bring VALID, INTELLIGENT and WORTHY points to the table as to why imminent marriage is a must in your r/ship...... or let her be quiet (or go settle herself with these donkeys)!
I'm not even a moralist or religious person but what is his commitment to her besides giving her his preeq? 7 years is not enough for her to find her level? Will you work for someone for 7 years without promotion?

believer01:
i am a regular member on nairaland and i create this user to remain anonymous. i need mature guys and ladies to advise me on a way forward.
dont mind my grammar and typographical errors

i have been dating this guy since our 100level days in school, most people fear in school is that school relationships ends at the gate but our did'nt end at the gate. we went for youth service and still continue with our lovelife though the relationship was collapsing during service year but we built it up again and everything was okay after service. i happened to serve in his state and i was retained after service which makes us to start staying in the same town.
In school all our focus was to finish school, serve and get a good job. marriage was not really discussed cos i was thinking it was too early and since we were doing fine for 7years i believe marriage is inevitable (i hope that word is correctly use). there is one thing i discovered after service
1. he is not ready to talk about marriage not because he is tired of me or anything (cos i know i am one of the best things that has happened to him) but cos he believe he must have millions of naira in his account.
2. he believes the tradition of not marrying early in his family could also delay his marriage even though i have met almost all his family members.
3. he brings up quarrel or another issue when i bring up visiting my family even though he has met them twice.


my questions:
1. should i wait till "forever" when he will be ready to discuss/ready for the marriage?
2. i love him but now i have offers from different guys and i know the offers won't last forever(i have turn down 2 already). should i stay and pray he comes to his senses or leave him?
3. we are so closed to each other and understand each other so well that it will be difficult to understand anyone else like that.
4. am not against him having millions of naira but "money is never enough" his friends that are not as okay as himself are getting married already.
5. am not trying to rush him into marriage but how am i to know i won't regret waiting until when he will be ready? what if he leaves me after the long wait?

7years relationship now. plssss no insult we all do crazy things for love but we learn everyday and i believe this forum will give me the candid answer i seek
Coming from someone who has no plans to marry anytime soon. Try and find your square root.

7 years is more than enough time for a guy to know if he wants to marry you or not. If you opt to wait you might regret it for a very long time. It takes a few honest guys to tell you they are not ready to go down that route. The fact you are even the one initiating the discussion is a very bad sign and might be used against you in the future

Two questions I have to ask though:
Do you have a good paying job?
Does he have a good paying job?

Not having Millions is not a feasible excuse so long as you both have a steady flow of income.

when going on a date Ladies....


4)Furthermore women need to have control , just cause a man is taking u out means u should start ordering the world plus thing u will never eat u will order , drinks etc pls don't form high class angry offer to even pay too the guy would respect you more .
These ones we call them INEC (I never Chop)

I once took a girl out and when we were done she was asking for takeaway. I was like Da Fuq? Though I bought anyway

I totally agree with the last part. Even the ones forming feminist will still look at you and expect you to pay after their Chimamanda speech

LadyBoss1:
5)phones, ladies pls on a date is not the time to take selfies, or pics of venue, food etc. its not cute! You can tell your friend all about the date when u get home .
My biggest peeve of all. I would probably tell you I'm going to take a leak and you won't see me for another 3 hours.

LadyBoss1:
6)Try not to keep any major secrets i.e maybe after a few dates he now finds out uve been married before, or have a child etc better to put your cards on the table and what will be will be.
Naah! I don't want to hear your life history on the first date. Let that be a gradual process. I used to swear I'd have nothing to do with an 'After 1' but I'm a lot more mature and open minded now. Still I don't expect a girl to start telling me every detail of her life on our first few meets. There are creative ways you can find out people's reaction to certain things.

LadyBoss1:
6)7)Try to have serious and intelligent convo this shows your not just an Air head
Co-sign.

LadyBoss1:
8 )When on a date please do not keep asking the guy about his work, business or money you may come across as a gold digger . If the guy decides to tell you about his work then fine . Dont ask him how much he earns either .
Wow! Amazeballs! Funny but a lot of girls don't know this

LadyBoss1:
9) Ladies DO NOT talk about your ex on a date .. No guy wants to hear it on first date .some chics go on and on and on about their ex and it can put guys off.
I'm always wary about girls that talk too much about their ex-es as a rule of thumb. Okafor's Law is very real and this just tells me she hasn't found closure yet. Chop and clean mouth is my only option

LadyBoss1:
10)Never offer sex on the first day .. The guy would just think oh well this one is not wifey material let me use n go since she's offering.



*sips tea*
Source: me
Its not that simple. Sexx had at whatever time has no influence on whether we end up being serious or not. My mindset usually is you could have played hard to get for me but gave freely to the next guy. If the mood and chemistry is right I don't see why not. I've had awesome relationships with girls who went the whole nine on first meeting

I figured as much. Sane bawo?

The rumor mill is heavy on Darmian but for the price being thrown about I'm not too impressed. I don't see why they don't want to give Weiser a shot

As for Griezmann I don't see why we need to hesitate if we've identified him as our target. Training would start by July and we don't even know if Ribery has recovered from his 'injury'

Mehn this is becoming way too childish!

A40 and raumdeuter can you guys PLEASE stop this Hazard thing?!

You believe Hazard is a flop. We the 'ignorant Chelsea fans' believe Hazard is a god.

Can we just leave it like that: each one to his own opinion. No one can convince the other so please JUST STOP ALREADY!

Haba! Must you guys quote or reply any mention that has to with Hazard? Why not ignore some so that this topic die a natural death.

I come here hoping to get some transfer news or other educative debates but to my dismay, each time I come in here it's Hazard this Hazard that. It's not encouraging abeg.

Make una just stop biko.

But if you guys still want to continue the Hazard talk, just mention the person you're arguing with in Bayern thread and continue the arguments there.

Thank you.
I was done with the argument last week. Maduks88 chose to engage me and brought forward a decent argument so I saw no reason to ignore him. Hazard is not a Bayern player so why should I reroute arguments to the Bayern thread? Its a Chelsea related topic

We are being linked to Sadio Mane. Is he even Bayern quality? I've seen flashes but I don't know if he's what we need to compete in Europe. He's 23 but the speed at which African players go off the boil is just too much for me

Look at Asamoah Gyan, Kevin Prince and Gervinho these guys aren't even 29 but can't play in elite Europe anymore. Not forgetting Adebayor

Abeg I want Griezmann.

SIRcumalot:
I agree with you any of those teamed mentioned above would sweep this team.
I still GSW would win the series
Lebron can't possible keep this up
Though if by some miracle he wins the series am looking forward to how many level he jumps on your own personal ranking.
I don't trust this Warriors team. All their role players have played like dirt. Guys like Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes were supposed to be X-Factors but their performances have been so pathetic on both ends of the floor. Take your mind back to the Spurs v Heat series where role players like Diaw, Green, Mills and of course Leonard made their presence felt. Its almost like the Warriors depth has now become a liability. A veteran team should never start a Game on the road that badly

If the Cavs win Game 4 there is 90% likelihood they win the series. I want a Game 7 tho

Lebron was in my top 10 before the Finals. He's lost too many Finals to break into my top 5 but top 7 most likely

Maduks88:
I only named two very good players with poor ucl goal stat.
And like I said in my previous posts. Their performance in the biggest matches and their titles won is an alibi for that. What is Hazard's alibi? Don't tell me age because all the people you guys love to compare him with were either Champions or had at least made impact waaaaay before his age

Maduks88:
Rakitic,Benzema,Bale, Muller,,Lewandowski? I give up
I blame the low standard of the EPL.

I would name 20 players better than Hazard easily. Go and watch Barcelona and see how Rakitic makes them tick.

Bale with 17 goals and 11 assists from open play is regarded as a flop this year while Hazard with 19 goals (5-6 penalties) and 13 assists is being hailed, that simply tells you the difference and who is held at a higher standard

The other players are self-explanatory I wouldn't even bother with that. Lewandowski, Mueller and Benz are not Eden Ikedia's mates

Maduks88:
I'm not making any comparison just saying muller also HAD the potential to be world best player but no longer has it.The 5th in balond'or is the best he would ever be.
Mueller is playing in an era with Ronaldo and Messi in their peak. Even the Balon D'Or is now so infatuated with the latter two that they win the awards in years they don't deserve it.

Guys like Figo, Romario, Rivaldo, Cannavaro even Zidane might not have 3 WPOTY if they played now

We saw FIFA give Messi Golden Shoe award when even his countrymen unanimously agreed he didn't deserve it.

Sneijder was the MVP in world football for 2010 he didn't win it.

Ronaldo finished trophyless in 2013 but still ended up with the award. I don't care about personal laurels so long as Mueller wins Euro's next year to complete the sweep of winning every major title that's good enough for me

To me, the warriors are playing like they want to outscore the cavs and not doing enough to defend
Exactly. Just look at what average defenders on the Cavs are doing to prevent GSW from scoring. Plus the much vaunted depth of the Warriors becomes immaterial when guys like Harrison Barnes are shooting 0-12
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:20am On Jun 10, 2015
These Warriors are not serious at all. They could easily have been 3-0 down. And they could also be 3-0 up if they played even half decent basketball in the first 3 quarters of the game. They don't want it as badly as the Cavs do and they must now win Game 4. No team has come back from 3-1 in the Finals

Credit to the Cavs they have played extremely good defense. Curry making Dellavedova look like Gary Payton smh

The Cavs are clearly showing that with fight and heart you can overcome anything. Still I don't see the likes of the Spurs, old school Lakers not handling business vs this Cavs team. Mozgov, Dellavedova, Thompson and of course Lebron have simply played like they wanted it more

Interesting. Do we continue with Starke? Personally I don't mind Burki from Freiburg as backup for Neuer

Extend Schweini by two years and hopefully he is open to a paycut

Hojbjerg staying most likely means we are not buying Guendogan or Verratti (who is a poor man's Guendogan IMO)

Just get Griezmann and half of our problem don solve. We must replace Ribery by fire by force

Noted.
Without penalties his goal stats in UCL is poor so is Ribery's and Iniesta's.
Ribery - 1 CL 2 Finals
Iniesta - 4 CLs

No room for comparison

Maduks88:
From this season overall performance I disagree
Barcelona - Neymar, Messi, Suarez, Rakitic

Madrid - Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema, Hames

Bayern - Robben, Lewandowski, Mueller (I no even include Ribery because he didn't play enough games)

Juve - Tevez,

Abeg the list is very long. I blame it on EPL's low standard this year.

Maduks88:
Thomas Muller also HAD d potential.
World Champion, UCL Champion, World Cup Silver Ball. He is living up to the billing over to Hazard

I was just explainin d meanin of goals from open play. I said corner situation (directly or indirectly)
If we take out goals Drogba has scored from freekicks and corner kicks I wonder what we would have left. A penalty is an uncontested shot on goal, freekicks and corners are not. If you are following the trend of the argument we have been focusing strictly on penalties

Maduks88:
He is d best in epl dis season and has d potential to become best in d world not just cos of his dribbles but his general game play
Well according to your league yes but there are at least 3 teams in Europe with at least 3 players better than Hazard

And I agree he has the potential to become the best in the world same way Stanley Okoro had the potential to be the best in the world

Roland17:
Shebi you see why I talk say Lebron's fans make it very easy to tear him apart when analyzing games, they want to throw his greatness and uniqueness in your face during arguments every second but they expect you to pity him each time you argue factually with them.

If I am to grade Lebrons performance last night I would give him a C+ or B- if I was to be kinder.

Once again Lebrons Clutchness was questioned last night, would you rather have Lebron shoot 2 free throws with 3seconds to the end of the game or another player? personally for me I believe Mathew Dellavedova carried the Cavs on his back last night, without him the Cavs lose game 2, he kept Curry very quiet, was active rebounding the ball and he made 2 very clutch free throws, that for me was the performer of the night and not Lebron.

Last night I think the Warriors got away with some home cooking calls, Lebron was fouled severally but Tony brothers preferred to turn a blind eye, I expect the situation to be reversed in Cleaveland.
A lot of unsung heroes on that night but its normal to hail Lebron I personally think he played well but he missed far too many shots. The Warriors are not going to shoot 30% percent all series long and Curry wouldn't hit 21% either

Home cooking is common in the playoffs. The Heat enjoyed it vs the Pacers last year. Its fairly normal for home teams to get majority of the calls. In Game 1 Lebron got away with a lot of elbows and blows to GSW players. He could easily have fouled out! these things tend to even out IMO

warriors came out flat. i guess they thought cavs would just roll over. the cavs now have confidence, and they could very well win 2 in cleveland and put the warriors on the ropes.
Yeah and maybe a tad overconfident. Its incredibly rare for home teams to win both Games 1 and 2 in the Finals in recent times at least infact its not happened since 09

The way I see it the Warriors still have the edge and would at least leave Cleveland with the series tied
