No one should take another's freedom from them. It's within her rights to do to herself as she feels compelled to. And if it's too become a transgendered woman, that's well okay.

Career / Why Do Oil & Gas Professionals Get So Defensive? by Antoinne: 7:47pm On Jul 08, 2015
I don't understand why oil workers and O&G professionals get so defensive at the drop of a hat? You call a meeting and once someone's deficiency is pointed out, maybe a failing regarding safety or knowledge, and they get all so defensive? If you are in this cursed, competitive field you probably know what I'm talking about...
And this is especially unnerving when you are a lady and you are asking the questions

You owe no one nothing. And surprisingly, people don't expect favors from you as well. Why do you think they find it surprising when you do them something nice?
So, don't sweat it. Do as you please every single time. What you should aim from is consistency. And in the face of this there's nothing anyone can do to pull you down.

I honestly don't understand why Nigerians don't patronize their own technology. Here is facebook now throwing it in Nigeria's face. I'm going to write a piece about this soon. But when a country doesn't communicate a challenge to tech giants like this, Facebook or Google, that country will continue to be taken for granted, ridden all over and kicked while on the ground. Nigeria needs to wake up!

Teempakguy:
is she not right
Or you just resent her because of her bitchy attitude, hence this attack
That's not an attack. It's an opinion. Write-ups like this are the reasons Nigerians stay ignorant. Any Tom, Diiick or Harryc wakes up, grabs a pen and begins making verdicts on other people's lives. Tell me, what's wrong in "joining the feminism band wagon", if that makes a lady satisfied? Is marriage the pinnacle of a woman's achievement? Do you know how many poor souls will read this and begin inferring things that are not actually wrong with them?

I beg to disagree with articles like this that paint subjective issues with a color brush. They certainly don't encourage a lady to keep her head up and hold her shoulder high. There's more to living than marriage. And behavior should be by themselves and not fashioned to nick a husband.

Romance / Re: ~ Guys: Reasons Why Ladies Dump You For Other Guys ~ by Antoinne: 11:59pm On Jun 30, 2015
misssclassy:
There have been numerous cases where a lady will be in a relationship with a guy and all off a sudden, she will just dump the guy and hook up with another guy, without any cogent explanation as to why she did it.
This normally leaves most guys wondering what really happened or where they went wrong.
Well, these are some of the reasons why ladies dump a lot of you guys.

*She Doesn't Genuinely Love You
This is a primary reason why most ladies dump or break up with a lot of guys.
The truth is this; If a lady doesn't truly love you, she will never commit herself to a long term relationship with you.

At times, ladies tend to enter into relationships with ulterior motives and hidden agendas, and once this motives are fulfilled or accomplished, they would have no need to remain in such relationships.
If a woman doesn't love you, it will always be easy for her to dump you if she finds a better partner.

*You Are Not Man Enough
One thing a lot of guys fail to understand is that a lady can never respect a man that they can control.
Ladies are generally attracted to guys that are confident. Guys that are able to take the driving seat in a relationship.
A woman always needs a man that will take charge. Someone capable of calling the shots. Someone that is protective and that she can count on to stand up for her and defend her no matter the situation.

*You Are Not Good In Bed
Let's face it. This is one of the most common reasons why women cheat on and dump most of their boyfriends.
Most ladies have sexual needs that need to be constantly met, and if their man is under performing, they tend to look for a more sexually active and more sexually satisfying partner.

*You Are Just Too Boring
Every relationship needs adventure. It's an essential catalyst for the relationship growth and sustenance.
Some guys tend to be too conservative and self reserved, and most ladies hate it.

Ladies like guys that are creative and inventive. Someone who they can joke with. Someone who they can talk to, about anything.
Someone who can take her out to new interesting places, have fun and try out new things together.
Someone who can invent new ways to spice up every area of their relationship.

If a guy doesn't meet this criteria, most girls tend to find him boring and not much of fun to be around , and they would gradually begin to lose interest in the relationship.

*You Don't know How To Take Care Of Her
Every girl needs a guy that can cater for her needs. Someone that can provide some of the basic things she needs as a woman.
If a girl finds you to be someone who is unable to take care of her, she will seek for someone better.
Especially in this day and age where the needs of humans are increasing at a high rate, notably among the female gender
These days, whether you like it or not, every lady wants to look good. They want to dress beautifully and look attractive and presentable.
If a lady is dating a guy that slacks in this department, she will look for someone else.

Asides monetary needs, most guys also fail to understand the other needs of their girlfriends and these needs are diverse.
And if those needs are ignored, most ladies tend to feel abandoned.

*You Lack Well Defined Goals
If a girl wants to commit to a life long relationship with you, she would have to be sure you have a bright future ahead. This includes you having a blue print and well defined goal for your life and the one both of you are going to share.
No girl wants to stay in a relationship with someone who doesn't know what he wants. Someone who lacks the ability to plan ahead. Someone who isn't focused, hard working and who doesn't know what he wants in life.

*You Don't Spend Quality Time With Her
Girls are created in such a way that they always crave attention, and when they don't get it, it becomes a thing of pain.
Most guys don't spend enough time with girlfriends. They find it hard to visit, call, or even text.
Of course, a lot of this can be blamed on work load, school and all that, but girls really need to be shown that they are important and that their partners care about them , and when this doesn't happen, they look for someone else.

*You Don't Listen
In most relationships, most guys tend to always want to be the ones with the final say. They always want to make their opinions known without caring about what their partner has to say, and this can be agonizing for most ladies.
Girls like guys who would always listen to them and try to understand things from their own perspective.
Guys who would value their opinions and respect their thoughts on issues, whether they agree with it or not.

*You Are Too Secretive
Girls don't like guys who are too secretive. This always makes them paranoid and they always suspect that something else is going on in the relationship that they are not aware of.
Ladies prefer guys that are free and open.

*Your Are Too Over-Possessive
Although ladies like guys that are capable of taking the driving seat in a relationship, they also tend not to like guys that are too controlling, over powering, and over possessive of them.
This includes guys that always question their actions, guys that are always too jealous whenever they see them with other guys, and guys that are too conscious of their movements.
Ladies see this character as repulsive and it gives them a signal that they are not trusted and they lose interest in the relationship..

You are free to add yours if you want to.

You must be living in a glorified, lofty, well-adorned la-la land to think these are what a lady wants. By heaven's grace, who gave you the authority to write this gibberish? Someone clearly needs massive reorientation.

Romance / Re: Lunch Date Experience by Antoinne: 11:08pm On Jun 30, 2015
LadyBoss1:
Hey peeps
Lolz ok so yes i went on a lunch date thing today with a guy i was introduce to by a mutual friend, we've seen each other before but there was no spark so i didnt really entertain it.

Anyway as you all know i'm single and have been for a while now... We decided to meet a place close to me so i can get back to work on time .

Ok we ordered food , had light convo just general stuff

Now the issue
Ok oh this guy orders wine i had a little bit but im not really a wine drinker anyway , and then the guy kept saying
"Why dont you drink some "?
"Have some more wine are you shy"
I told him no like its bloody lunch time who gets wasted at lunch
And he said to me he thought i was a classy chic, but he thought WRONG!

After he said that i felt insulted just killed the mood , but didnt say anything just told him i have to go and would call him later.


Please lol how is that unclassy? this is why i dont bother going on yeye date so annoying .. Anyway thats the end of him (history) he can go find a wine drinker somewhere else or do u think i am over reacting? Dont get guys



Even though i don't know the whole story, I'm more inclined to believe the poor dude. As a great lot of Nigerians lack class, it's really very probable that you do as well. There are reactions to wine sipping, and there are other reactions. A classy chic will never allow God wine waste on an expensive date.

Fat women console themselves with - i feel comfortable in my body.
Unmarried women with- marriage is not the ultimate.

Marriage is the ultimate achievement in life.
God made woman for man and said we should go into the world and procreate.

God did not say - go in the world and get a degree.

All the degrees you have and all the jobs are merely - toiling with hands to eat.
Yet even the bird's and the bees do not toil and they eat.
Is that not a sign of cluelessness comparing fat with unmarried?

what according to you op is fulfilling other aspects of life? what else is more fulfilling than a girl who has come of age getting married and fulfiling the will of God in their lives
Other more fulfilling things like taking a trip to the Himalayas, ascending mount Everest; studying in a discipline so well to know every single bit about it; becoming a professional in something; inventing a product; breaking barriers in one's field. Why don't Nigerians place more emphasis on this? Why is it so usual to see a woman whose only fulfillment is getting married?

Can someone explain to me this sense of entitlement Nigerian women feel when they are married? What's the basis for this? Is there anything so special about marriage? Isn't it unfortunate that Nigerians see marriage as a crowning achievement in a man's life? Doesn't this say something about not paying attention to other more rewarding aspects of life?

Did Rita ever said she was a Feminist? Hence the issue she's not married yet? I don't think so. It's not a failure on her side, it's only a failure if she got nothing, but hey she's an Actress and a business woman.

When you have an objective you haven't achieve or are finding difficult to achieve, then it's a failure until you do so. In the respect of marriage she is for the moment a failure.

Nneka123:
Marriage doesn't state a woman status in the society. She is successful with or without marriage, and it's a choice.
Clearly not yours to make.
It's indeed a choice. But in her case, I'm in great doubt about whether it's her choice. I believe she's reiterated a couple of times her desire to marry. That she hasn't achieved that is a failure on her part.

High time these many women quit hiding under the cloak of feminism or independence when they can't find a husband.

Antoinne you are absolutely right it is unfathomable and flat out ludicrous. The reason why you get so much hormonal retorts for speaking the truth is because this site "nairaland'' is populated by a certain demographic of 'youthful’ Nigerians who have very limited and (i am afraid) rather crude outlook to life. Logic and reason are not very common themes down here. Most are youths out of school seeking jobs, you wouldn’t find sound wisdom here, just the really rough and raw bunch.

There is even a more dire case of this 'food theft syndrome" (FTS) in the corporate world. I am talking fortune 500 status multinational companies here in Nigeria. These guys drive in the latest SUVS using high tech smart gadgets and all, but still get tragically obsessed with packing out remnants of meeting meals.

I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND THIS FCKN DISEASE!!! Is it greed or what?

These guys all earn six digit monthly salaries but always feel compelled to hang around the corridor, lurking and checking to see if the management meeting has ended so that they can briskly grasp onto the unwrapped moin-moin, rice, sweets , slap them all in a bag and take home.

Perhaps it is the corruption gene in its infancy? What say you?
You are absolutely right about this. I have seen this happen not more than once in a couple Fortune500 companies, and only in Nigeria. Pretty sure those who aren't against taking food off airplanes will find this super-comfortable as well.
TV/Movies / Re: Ay's 30 DAYS IN ATLANTA Is Overhyped (opinion) by Antoinne: 4:01pm On Jun 26, 2015
Teeboy15:
Hi ya'll, I'm a first time OP (whatever OP means) so please apologies on any typo error or whatever.

Though this post is coming when the movie is already old but i just felt the need to create the thread afterall.

Ok enuff talk lemme get straight to it. I think the movie 30 days in Atlanta was unnecessarily hyped for the following reasons;

1. Ay was not fit for the role; Ay does not have that rugged n razz personality to play the role of Akpors. He seemed too serious for the role, more like forcing himself to be an Akpors personality. A Bovi or Charles Inojie interpretation of the role would have made more sense.

2. Story line was poor; Like seriously what was he trying to portray, that Akpors is just a local Warri boy who got lucky, went abroad and couldn't behave himself in a cultured way? Seriously?

3.His comedy line in the movie when he got employed as a part-time comedian was terrible; Ay like seriously u could have done berra than that. Dat was whack. If na so ur shows dey be u for no get one kobo for account.

Let me state that I'm not in any way hating on the successfull comedian's effort (before Nairalanders go start their own wahala), for what its worth it was a good movie but constructive criticism also sell movies.

For those who haven't seen the movie make sure u get a copy of it and let us know what u think. U can also add ur opinion for those that have already seen the movie.

DICKtator:


I insist, one of the subtle rationale for labelling Hitler infamous was his deposition towards foreigners especially the Jews. When he annexed Poland, all the west and other world powers did not really bat an eyelid,it was when the "superiority complex" came into being and accusation against the Jews for Germany's woe did the West and other world powers took him seriously.

Do not misquote me, I never said what Stalin,Mao Zedong,Pol pot,Rwanda Hutus or whatever they did was justifiable. What I said was that Hitler's atrocities were horrendous because:
1. It was an unprovoked race issue. When someone doesn't want you around and claims his race is superior over others, that is dementia and delusion of the grandeur!!!.
In cases like that, neighbouring countries would get apprehensive on such ridiculous excuse
2. Hitler is not the first person to mistreat the jews. Jews have faced a lot of persecutions before Hitler from the Dreyfuss accusations to some countries telling Jews to leave their land. This was what was expected of Hitler instead of carrying out a well thought out annihilation of a race,creating gas chambers in concentration camps and using them for inhumane experiments!!.
Please I hate typing much but you really want to put me on the spot and want me to break my modus operandus on this forum so imma stop here

Genghis Khan? You gotta be kidding me!!
What century are you talking of? When men were savages ,barbarians and survival of the fittest was the norm then?

Mao Zedong a hero? Perhaps I need to dust my history book as regards this or check Google and ascertain this. But Chinese I've met detest this man for the atrocities he committed like you typed

What makes you think Stalin doesn't get close to the same treatment as his ilks? He was an Ally during the 2nd world war so certain "good" can be attributed to him but he has been discarded in the dustbin the evils' history because of his post war attitude. What happened to Stalingard? Wasn't the name changed? Research on what happened to his corpse!!!

I never typed all of history is in the eyes of a beholder. Historians always have different perspectives of course!!. That why some historians would tell you the 1st world war wasn't a world war hence the name great war while the 2nd was the 1st!!

Some American historians even believe that America won the Vietnam war!!!



grin grin grin grin

@bolded. You would mean "Austria" there or "Czechoslovakia". By the time he invaded Poland, the war was already in full swing.

Today, there are still monuments dedicated to Stalin and to Mao. These men have not got what I'd truly deserving of their genocidal legacy. Hitler, on the other hand, has suffered more than appropriately. Mention one monument to Hitler in modern Germany; i bet you won't find any. Truth is, history is not fair and unrightly so. But it helps to see where things are being subtly adjusted to favor a set of people. Clearly, world opinion today hasn't dealt equally with many leaders who have been just as despotic as Hitler was.
