MasterJayJay:
When a devil is preaching, confusion takes centre stage.

I agree with all his points, but I'm really confused about this one... and the explanations justifying this point are just funny. Nobody wants to say it as it is

They look so good together I saw the video, the guy is a great planner

For a woman,
You work towards the two... in my opinion, I don't see marriage as an obstacle to achieve anything you want. The problem is most people have tied starting a career/business to "after I graduate from the University" which is a very wrong mentality. Start something early and build it.. you don't have to wait till you graduate. The main point of having a career/business is to have money which should be the goal of every woman, at least be financially stable to a point (you don't necessarily need to have all the money in the world).
Before your husband finds you, what are you doing while waiting? The waiting period should be used productively to build your little empire.
Imagine a senario where a lady graduates at the age of 26, if she has the "ill finish sch before I start something mindset" that means she will be 27 before she start to "think" of the line to follow, and not forgetting the Nigerian factor, she will definitely have marriage on her mind (and unfortunately some will forget career and look for a man to marry them)
Now, imagine if she had started something when she was 22 or earlier, there is no way she will not be financially better.
In my own dictionary sef, If a woman or a man has nothing doing, then they both have no business thinking about marriage atall. Let's plan, plan and plan.
God gave ADAM a JOB before a WIFE...
And when BOAZ saw RUTH SHE WAS WORKING..
So what am I trying to say? As a man, have a career before getting a wife, and as a woman, have something doing and your husband will come and get you!

@amokeme:

The question is:

Why do ladies have men depence syndrome?

And when you talk of men, is it random men or attached men such as lovers and husbands?

the answer is simple, greed, long throat and in some cases laziness.
And the second question, it can be any man, mostly lovers, "toasters" and sometimes husband. In my opinion, I don't find depending on your husband for everything cool

It is well,
Good thing is she learnt her lesson. So unfortunate it was the hard way

LITTLE beginning not NO beginning.

Hehehe hehehe I like this one

TWC brings you this amazing and inspiring love story of newly wedded couple, Joseph kolawole Ola and Anu Yusuf.
After reading everything Kolawole said, you will agree with me that, indeed words are powerful. Enjoy.......
**************************************************************
“I MARRIED YOU!”

No, not “you”, I mean her, the beautiful damsel in the pictures below. But between the two of us, “I Married You” isn’t just a phrase; it’s the title of the book I bought for her ON THE VERY FIRST DAY THAT I MET HER. It was in a Youth Service Camp in Northern Nigeria. I was drawn to her as she stood looking at the books at the book stand in front of the hall where I had just finished holding a Bible Study session. I walked up to her, struck up a conversation, and felt led to buy her a book by Late Walter Trobisch. I wanted to buy her “I Loved A Girl” which was the only book by that author which I had read, but they were out of copies so I opted for another title by the same author; a book I HAD NOT EVEN READ MYSELF. And the title became a prophetic script: “I MARRIED YOU!”

And it came…to pass. Last Wednesday. July 27th. I married her!
But not only that, ON THE SAME DAY, she graduated with a FIRST CLASS in her LLB Programme.

Pause right there. Give me a moment to tie it up for you…

Of course, this isn’t just a post about me getting married or about her graduating with a first class (we won’t be the first in anyways); but you know I like to draw out life lessons from almost everything. So this post wouldn’t be without one, and here is it: GOD LISTENS TO YOUR SILENT WHISPERS!

Here’s what I mean…

When Eleos was leaving Nigeria for the UK in 2013, I intended to meet her at the airport. I woke up early enough, stopped by at a store to buy her a golden wristwatch that I wanted to give her as a parting gift alongside a Friendship Journal where I chronicled our first conversations in our first few months together since February 2012 when the relationship started...

But Lagos traffic did its worst and I didn't make it to the airport in time to meet her. She had boarded the plane before I got there.

I cried. Like, literally.

But the aircraft had some little challenge so their take off was delayed... So we spoke on phone for almost an hour until it was time for the plane to take off.

But the only thing I can remember in that long conversation was this:

"Eleos, don't worry. I'll come and give you these things in the UK by myself..."

I said it jokingly, though. I had no plans of coming to the UK. I even had no Nigerian Passport at the time let alone a UK Visa...

Fast forward to months later, I find myself telling her (again, jokingly) in our almost-every-night conversations while I was still in Nigeria trying to encourage her with regards to her studies... I'll say something like:

"Don't worry. Study well and FINISH WITH A FIRST CLASS... I'll be there at your convocation...and WHISK YOU OFF AFTERWARDS TO MARRY YOU ON THE SAME DAY!"

Again, it was just a joke, but I love to tease her with the idea...

But as of today, not only did I actually come to give her the golden wristwatch by myself but I also witnessed her graduation and ‘WIFED’ her the same day! (Only the order was different; marriage first, graduation afterwards...)

Where am I going?
Here: GOD LISTENS!!!

In the two cases above, I neither prayed nor fasted for days for those things to happen. They happened...because God listened! And He still does…

And that's my news to you today...
What have you been asking Him that He seems to be delaying to do?
What are your deepest desires?

The truth is that the God that cared enough to listen to my silent whispers is still alive. Don't stop trusting Him.

So yeah, I married her! And same day she graduated! And same day we got to have our first kiss in a SUPER GREAT and DUPER GUILTLESS atmosphere...

That’s what love looks like to me!

If our story inspires you enough, do well to drop a word of prayer for us. We will appreciate it.
If you feel offended to not have been informed, no hard feelings. At worst, pardon my forgetfulness.At best, respect Romans 8:14
Wishing you even greater testimonies!

Joseph kolawole Ola,
the Groom.

DangotePikin:
but Amokeme, you are very bold to put out such personal information on Nairaland. I hope Nairalanders will not make you regret it sha. Don't think I even want people to know my real name here sef. Except for some specific Nairalanders.

I don't have anything to hide sir, and stop being negative. Iv noticed you can't help it.... not healthy atall. If you have no problem creating a fb account then how is a name any problem on nairaland?
Or what personal information are we talking about here

DangotePikin:

tosyne2much:
That's my darling!!! I will soon come proposing

hehehehehe

CindyeMerAld:
u did the right thing o.p..... she will definitely regret her actions when she gets home....she has lost alot just for being selfish and stupid...

lol, people like that have no shame, she is not going to regret anything. To her the OP was just "bad business" unto the next victim, that's all!

HungerBAD:
As a rule,I never go near female students,unemployed females and any female who cannot in anyway support themselves.

And even at that,the female have to be somewhat close to my level financially.
.

some female students are very independent and don't go about depending on guys for money... while some so called "working class" ladies are the real set with the MDS (man dependency syndrome) so I think it's an individual thing and how a lady values herself. Me personally, I'm a student and no guy under the surface of this earth can tell me "I got you this" or "she begged me for money" I don't accept birthday gifts I can't afford... I hate insults so I avoid it at all cost, especially when it comes to this kind of thing. And yes, I'm a student. So I think it's more of a personality thing.
If I can't afford it, then I have no business having it.
So incase a guy gets me a birthday gift amd starts feeling like he has some kind of entitlement towards me, ill simply throw your nonsense back at you.
This particular lady the OP is talking about seem to be a "packaged hungry girl"

Young03:
well he tried but still local

what can you do

SirWere:
.......Here we go again with this women empowerment nonsense.

how is it nonsense

3 is ok... school fees are no joke now o, imagine having 5 kids and be paying over 300k from nursery sch and it gets higher as the child grows o...
May God bless us sha

marvelck:
Most girls are fond of doing/saying this, just to paint themselves as a responsible girl. Lying to whosoever cares to believe, [b]that her ex boyfriend didnt see her pant talkless of having sex with her all tru the period they dated....[/b]which in most cases are bunch of lies... Naija girls and lies be like 5 & 6!

And how is the bold impossible

coolsix:
Marriage is not by force.

Make una go sleep. Who marriage epp?

I am not saying people should not get married but its a thing of choice stop making people feel bad about themselves simply because they refused to get married. Different strokes for different folks. I wonder what this thread is supposed to mean

a joke

BoboFashion:
You think so?

I know so

afuye:
YOU CAN HARDLY FIND A LADY ON THREAD BECAUSE IT IS TRUE ALL THAT THE OP HAS SAID !

Loool maybe you need to look well, ladies are commenting, and nice dp

Anything derogatory towards Nigerian women must grace the front page.... but when it comes to topics that edify, polish, and encourage women to be better, you will never see such on FP..

princeakins:
