Romance / Re: Can I Date A Lady Who Is A Year Older Than Me by afime: 9:04am On Dec 05, 2010
the fact that you even have to ask this question shows a level of immaturity on your part. You obviously feel there's a problem otherwise you wouldn't ask our opinions! I don't see what the problem is. Do you like her or not? Simple!!
Romance / Re: I Love My Girlfriend But This New Girl I Met On Facebook Is Blowing My Mind by afime: 8:57am On Dec 05, 2010
just dream. how can you say that you never said you stopped calling your GF. Read your opening post. You are sounding more and more foolish as this thread progresses. I think you should leave your gf so that she can find someone more worthy. You just sound so horrible - yuk! Leave your studies and get a job so that you can afford to shower your gold digger with gifts as that would be the only way to keep her! and although you said she doesn't use NL, someone on here is bound to recognise her!!!Foolish boy!!
Travel / Re: 28 Days Deposit For Uk Visa by afime: 10:55pm On Dec 03, 2010
If the money is in your account then you only have to show the funds were there for minimum 28 days and the statement should not be older than one month. Doesn't matter if other people give you money and you put it in your own account. If you are using someone elses account it can only be your parents - no one else and as i said before you have to show your relationship. Look on UKBA's website for PBS Tier 4- it will tell you exactly what to do!
My qualification? ECO!!

Family / Re: My Mom Gave Birth After 19years! by afime: 8:14pm On Nov 01, 2010
grow up! So your mum had a baby for her husband and you're embarassed? Please abeg,maybe you will stop getting your groove on when you reach 50 or so but seems like your mum is still enjoying her husband and has been blessed with a healthy boy! Give God thanks for a healthy, normal family and stop being so immature about this!
Travel / Re: 28 Days Deposit For Uk Visa by afime: 11:12pm On Oct 22, 2010
The money must have been in your account for at least 28 days from the time you sumbmit your application. If your dad is sponsoring you then he needs to write a letter and you must show evidence that he is your father (birth cert) otherwise you will be refused. The closing balance shouldn't be more than a month old. Good luck.

Culture / Is It Rude To Speak Your Language With Your Friend When No One Else In The Group by afime: 10:08pm On Oct 21, 2010
understands what you are saying?

On ocassion, I have been in a group of people who only speak English. Two of my Nigerian friends, who speak perfect English speak Igbo to each other whilst standing in the group. No one knows what they are saying. I think it's rude, especially when they start laughing at a private joke. What do you think? undecided undecided

Romance / Re: The Age Gap And Meeting Boyfriends' Mother For The First Time. by afime: 8:18pm On Oct 21, 2010
and some of the comments on here are just mean and spiteful. If you don't like age gap relationships that's fine - don't have one but for those who are in one why can't you just accept it since it doesn't affect your life in anyway! Cha! angry

Interesting! Where are you from? I posted a comment a few days ago about my age gap relationship with my husband. I am from the caribbean and he is a lovely Igbo man. He is considerably younger than me and we have totally different backgrounds (although some things are quite similar). I was nervous about meeting his parents for the first time. The way I handled it was to just be myself. Where I am from, we do not bow. I have never bowed to my mother in law and don't intend to. I don't even bow to my husband. To do so would mean I am being fake. To me it is not necessary to do that to show respect. I love my Igbo family dearly and they love me too. I called her mama from our first meeting and I did buy her a gift, some chocolates and a toiletry set. I am learning Igbo but I didn't greet her with the language. I greeted her in English because that is the language I speak. Since we have been married for a while now, I do say the odd word to her in Igbo and she appreciates it and helps me with my pronouciation. My MIL does not judge me. She's a beautiful woman and the best gift I can give her is by looking after her son and grandchildren to the best of my ability. MIL's will know if you are faking it so just be yourself. Don't over do it - it will be to obvious. Keep the conversation general. Believe it or not -age gap relationships in Nigeria are not that uncommon. If it's to be it will be - no matter what the ages of the couple are.

Personally, I couldn't give a raas what people want to say about me and mine. We have lasted longer than most. However, if you look like an old hag and your boyfriend is fine -you are bound to have problems Look after your body oh!

Romance / Re: Guys What Will Be You Action If You found Condom In Your Wife Bag? by afime: 10:53pm On Oct 20, 2010
you're sending her packing with no explanation! Nice! Your asking for our opinion yet you should be talking to your wife! All this could be totally innocent! If she were really cheating she would have used the condom already. Why leave evidence in the car of all places! Just ask her - what's with the lack of communication men?

what were you doing in your wife's bag? I guess you found what you were looking for!
Culture / Re: The Younger Nigerian Man And The Older Woman: by afime: 8:47pm On Oct 19, 2010
I am 10 years older than my Igbo husband shocked. We have been married for a long while now and have children. I am also caribbean so you can imagine that we have been faced with a lot of pressure from all angles. In appearance our age difference is not at all noticeable as I have been blessed and look much younger than my years. It took a while for my family to accept that we were serious about each other as they thought he was out to use me for papers etc. His family took a while to warm up to me but have now accepted me - to a degree. I mean they wouldn't announce that I was older to their friends - I think they would be embarrased but that is their headache not mine. It has not always been easy but then what relationship is? We are a very close family and respect each others culture/ways i.e circumcising our son which I didn't particularly agree with but know that Nigerian males are circumcised - I respected that.  So far so good. I love him. He loves me> End of story really! grin

NB. I am definately not old cargo!!! facety!! tongue
