Blockus: He should take his wife to Churches like COZA?LOL! No na,e will go with her as an aggressive guard to break the head of that randy capitalist if he tries the Efe tricks na. Seriously,just a visit sha. ![]() |
snowpe: I have tried this suggestion of yours but she looks at those churches as though they are not practicing real Christianity,I will keep on talking to her til she changes or I will accept her like that.moreover the union is for better for worseFor better or for worse does not mean you shouldn't be happy when you can be. Repeat it again and keep at it. God bless your union and the efforts. |
I know how heavy your soul is because of failed self-defined expectations,but just calm down and note the following: -the journey through life is a race alone.Yes,you are walking alone to your dreams and never competing with friends. That they started before you doesn't mean that you won't do better than them tomorrow. -stop looking at particular directions. There are many universities that can easily offer you admissions. Let your JAMB choices be universities where the competition for your course of interest is not stiff and serious. Pick state universities in the Northern and Middle-Belt regions. -If you are interested in UniAgric Makurdi,make it your choice when you write JAMB next and I can talk to my elder bro who is an influential prof there to guide you in. Also,the IBB university has a former dean and eminent lecturer presently there who is known to me. Once you pick either and meet the basic requirements I am happy to be of help to you. -keep a clear vision of what you want to achieve and stay hungry for it,not hopeless. Thomas Edison,Abraham Lincoln,Steve Jobs and Henry Ford who are unrivaled achievers in the human world failed hundreds of times but stayed with a burning desire,not frustrated to suicide thinking,for their dreams and the world is better for their optimism in pursuit of visions. -Stay hungry for what you want to achieve,purge yourself of those funny life-taking thoughts. |
Cheating is such a silly response to what you are bewailing bro. Take your time to show her hundreds of pastors and priests-so-called faith leaders-who do not joke with fashion. Also,use the Mary of Magdala pouring perfume on Jesus' feet as a foundation to a sound theology of fashion and how Christ even appreciated it. Listen to her reasons and give her hundreds of reasons including teachings by pastors like Myles Munroe and Dag-Edward Mills on the woman's beauty and fashion sense and its importance. Then,finally educate her on the effect or impact of her new 'no fashion' spirituality isd begining to have on your union. These should get her to change. Again,you can invite her to any of these churches were women come in high fashion- Living Faith,Christ Embassy,Worship Centre in Abuja,COZA and what have you. Women by their nature can't stop taking note of fashion in unusual places. She will be inspired to see what she is losing. ![]() Of course,good luck. |
Babymama1: I read this again and felt very sad for youYour advice is from a woman's perspective-emotional evaluation. Well,a man gives a rational analysis of her stated facts. Most men are not raised in that culture of weighing their words and the emotional impact they have on women.So? The slightest frustration is enough to trigger such irresponsible and reckless talks-most of us men are guilty. Yet it does not mean that he doesn't love you. No woman deserves to be disrespected by her man,however most men are not that emotionally intelligent to know that such uttered words are 'disrespectful to the woman they love. I am so sure that if you ask the man about the words he won't remember ever saying them.That is how the culture and environment we were raised has made us. It takes some realization of how badly he has gone with his words for him to unlearn shooting them. In his own head,he is faithful to her,provides for her and all those,and so any words are just reactions to some other things that could have happened between them. In those cool and happy moments,let her educate the man on how he is hurting her with all the stated and every sane man will adjust. I agree the guy is being irresponsible,but given the stated,it is patience they need not separation or divorce. |
jennykadry: If people want totest drive what is my business ni? I remember osisi and I disagreed slightly on this a few months ago, the only question I kept asking was "is the bible in support of it or not"...there is no big or small sin, so a virgin might have committed sins without her knowing and might not be as "clear" in the eyes of God than a test driver. David was a man after Gods heart although he got his own portion, Solomon was blessed with so much wisdom even with his straying pen!s. If people cannot afford to wait, it's their business to do tiro not do it... This race we run in life is an individual race , I am running my own race.One of these practical pentecostal bishops,the Ghanian D-Edwards, gave a beautiful and practical sermon on the sex challenge among young people and concluded that,like a ready machine,once young people have developed and ripen sexual organs they should marry and use them. All through the Bible,the patriarchs,judges and leaders who related closely with God married early enough. Sex is so so so important to the man especially. Test driving is something very many will insist on. |
I am 100% against it. The only reason that I don't go on the offensive is that I understand human weakness. I meant my wedding night to be my first, but I didn't make it. I understand the temptation and the difficulty. But I will not go easy on anyone who tries to pass off sexxual promiscuity as something right and worthy of social acceptance. It is wrong and morally reprehensible. It is one of the three things that stands this world on its head today. So even though I'm always defending, I take no prisoners here.Nobody is championing an order of immorality. The naked essence of these points is a practical knowledge shared on the psychology of the average man. Now,a wise person picks this and tries to moderate it to her advantage. Coogar is in the majority I repeat. I will want my daughter to marry a virgin,but I am man enough and understand men enough to know that she will need so much to manage their venom-yes,that is what a man who claims to love you will give when refused sex. What can we do?Empower our kids and sisters with this knowledge to be watchful and careful enough to attract the very few who will be happy to stay 'zipped up' until the connubial tide. |
coogar: his wife's refusal to fix her frigidity isn't going to solve the problems as well. how long can a man wait for before enjoying his marriage. he waited before marriage & he is being made to wait after his marriage?The wise will listen to you and pick the deep lessons even if they disagree with you. But for those who are the easy victims of such hypocrisy-yes,because most men think and act like Coogar than you see in their comments-they won't. You are being practical in ways that women should listen to you and guage their losses. No,they will disagree because you are not telling them the same things they love to hear that ruin so much for them. We are men,and most of us think essentially like you. Ride on. |
byvan: People like Coogar is why I pleaded with God to deny me a daughterDid you marry a virgin? Coogar is just being practical in ways that most ladies need to listen to him and learn even if they don't share in his philosophy of pleasure. Women love lies a lot and,unfortunately,most men will not express their candid beliefs on here. But I tell you that Coogar represents the majority,not the minority he appears to be in thy eyes. ![]() |
jennykadry: @IhedinobiSome men will be happy with 'no test driving' if they truly want to marry your daughters-of course,some in this group will be having it elsewhere while waiting for the 'I do' feast. But most men will settle for test driving. By the way,99 percent of adult men even the so-called born again ones will ask for sex and begin acting up if denied. Yes,for the adult male sex is a need. Check what completed Adam at creation. Read up Myles Munroe's The Purpose and Power of Love and Marriage,The purpose and Power of the Men. He has some beautiful theology of sex as a need for the adult male. |
coogar: when a car is being test-driven & the stick is stiff - you quickly ask for a replacement.I agree totally with you. Of course,at times if you really love it and what it needs is a slight repair,you can do that and keep it. ![]() |
PocketEconomist: Just a question on this test driving stuff, so after the test drive maybe once or twice, and you were not impressed that much, what next? If you dump her based on that grounds alone, does that show true love? How about working it out?One fundamental need of a man is sex.It is in his essence and God-given;for a woman it is affection-it can take several forms.Yes,you lose a man without sex or a capacity to assure his enjoyment of it. Every other thing na grammar. |
Saraha1: "Marry for compatibility and not love,love withers" hahaha wetin you talk? I want to marry for love oh.You fall in love and marry,but it takes more than love to stay married. It takes more than love to endure the trials of marriage in order to enjoy its triumphs! ![]() |
PocketEconomist: A man without a definite plan for the future is not ready for marriage, if you ask him this question, and he is stammering incoherent words, that's a red flag. A man who does not put your needs and opinions into consideration? That's another sign that he is selfish. Watch out! If your man is too possessive, always wanting to know your every move and whereabouts, that's another red flag. Abeg make una no crucify me o! This is not absolute, Na my opinion as a mam o! I've bled enough on this thread.What were you thinking on that point of being possessive and wanting to know her movement? So wrong on many grounds! You mean if I am checking on my babe to know where she is,what she is doing,how far she will be away and all of those I am being possessive? In the world of reasonable adults we call it care and responsible 'sentrying'-protection. So you leave your babe to do what she likes,go wherever she wants and stay wherever she wants even when she may not be safe,fine or even alive? ![]() My woman calls to check on me every now and then to be sure I am fine.This could manifest in wanting to know where I am,what I am doing and all those. That is not a red flag except in the eyes of idealistic teenagers. And,by the way,your recital of that litany of your cousin's oddities on here is wrong and so unnecessary. It is their life,if your love your cousin and care that much,share your thoughts,concerns and ideas for a better and progressive life with them. |
Babymama1: Keeping friends of the opposite sexThe truth is the psychology of the average man will always seek to convert friendship into what accommodates lust at one point or the other.100 percent of the men that I know will hate their women befriending men not out of distrust but for the truism that friendship will always be a vehicle for the man or men the woman relates with to desire her in an unplatonic sense even if unconfessed or not expressed. We are men,and we know what our average friends and brothers are like. There sure are exceptions as there are to all things in life,yet that will be a very very tiny minority that are lost in the millions of us. Women will always defend the innocence of such friendships as expected. Some will say "he has never shown me that he desires me" and all that thrash. Well,that he hasn't for years doesn't mean he is not interested. He may have lost his voice to uncertainty of your response or the circumstances have disallowed him. Try all your male friends and verify the truth of this truism. By the way,some men will come here to react to this contribution as a generalization. Yet,if you know them personally,try to test the 'innocent friendship with a male' idea with their own girlfriends and you will see how they truly her. A funny illustration of the desires of our 'innocent male' friends is this: babes,have you not noticed that your 'innocent male' friends always get uncomfortable when you are beginning a relationship with another man?lol Outside my sisters and brothers' babes,I do not relate with people's girlfriends and wives. Because I know the consequences for their men. Yes,no man likes his woman to have 'innocent male' friends! ![]() |
Babymama1: Keeping yourself for your spouse onlyOf course,such attractions and distractions are more for the man as he becomes more successful and ages with more resources. It is about both parties realizing that fidelity is a core credo of their union and nothing that suggests it should be attempted or tolerated. Love in the nuptial context is about making a choice and working hard to find a permanent fulfilment in it. Yes,a couple must do all that is needed to keep each other fulfilled and filled! ![]() |
jennykadry: Why are some of yous against women who have decided to remain virgins until after marriage?Nobody is against them,JK. Those who are determined to be virgins should attract virgins or those who are happy to wait till the 'I do' feast. For an adult male,sex is a need. That he asks for it does not mean he doesn't love her. In the adult world,sex with consent is a highlight of a sincere and serious relationship. ![]() Just saying the fellow who gave that advice is chanting a theory that works for a tiny few. ![]() |
This is the most practical and clearest piece on marital fidelity I have read and believe in. Thank you so much for the care you have shown to share this beautiful nugget! |
I am sure the op will be happy if I say British Nigerian girls are all mad and restless whores. Right?It is so damn right to experience one or two of over 10 million people and draw such a stupid conclusion about all of them? Why were you even trying to 'be friendly' with him in the first place if you were out to exaggerate and uncharitable judge him and all his kinsmen? While I am not informed enough to debate 'your facts' of your encounters with him,your post and the verdict it celebrates suggests that you are very very unreasonable if not frustrated with 'some unstated expectations' that Nigerian men here are not meeting. The guys are not in the UK to live their lives to meet your disgusting philosophy of good behaviour. You and your army of angry female friends should go and find your 'fulfilment' with men who are lowly thinking and too cheap in rationality as your judgment shows you are. We know some(a vibrant minority) of UK-born Naija guys and girls who live on drug sales,work as escorts,steal and stab,and are proud glorified whores,yet we respect the honour of very many who are doing well for themselves. Lick the wounds of the cheap and low value you oozed out to a colleague to unashamedly disrespect you and leave our hustling brothers out of your wretched head! |
zerray: please how good is university of nottingham? where is the location and whats the avr amount for accommodation around the universityIt is a very good university and highly ranked too. Nottingham should be quite cheap accommodation-wise. I live in Leicester,so I can't say exactly. |
madan: when I asked him why he left catholic, he said he wanted to knw more abt spirituality and life, bt things are being exaggerated in churches. he also said he gets knowlegde and clarity abt christ from grail message. he thinks goin to church is a waste of time. and said grail message is all abt christ.If the g-message is all about Christ,how then does going to church become a waste of time? Well,try to verify the real truth about the grail-message faith he professes. Then ask yourself if you will be happy to join him in professing that faith or not. If you can't,then think about quitting. This is because a man who says going to church is a waste of time will eventually stop you from going to church. It is true that Christianity is polluted in Nigeria,yet a belief such as his is occultic and dangerous. |
Krucifax: The issue of work experience is present in every country in the world. However there is a way round this. As a fresh graduate seeking work you can offer to do unpaid internships with a company no matter how big or small. Also remember on the C.V having 6 months experience at a company does not mean you had to be there Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. Your internship could be for a day or two in a week and it may be for half of the the day.You will then tailor your c.v to suit.There are some out here like you. Please share what you did so that everyone can pick a lesson or two. Thanks as you do that. |
esere826: 28 ) THE END?This is a masterpiece and it captures the most explicit highlights of the UK and the pathways to its best opportunities and careers. Any aspiring immigrant from any part of the non-European world that can read and apply 15 percent of all you have shared will go very far and be assured of a place at the top. I hope you make it all into a book,The Immigrant Manifesto will be a great title I will suggest. Well done.Well done.Well done! |
It is obvious these girls are in their 30s and few in their late 20s,not the early 20s and under 20 they are all claiming. Of course,just beautiful in their own eyes! Some are damn funny looking! ![]() |
Sheenor: got to hit the gym more for the remaining packs as i have three already. Lolx......You got the 3 from the gym?If yes,how much time do you spend in a gym and what exercises do you do? |
tobtap: thanks bro...i noticed that school outside london are beta ranked and have better student experience...well am going for msc telecommunications or related engineering courses...please any insightWell,schools within London are also highly ranked. UCL,King's College,Imperial College,Queen Mary,SOAS among others are all in London and the foremost schools within the UK too. The Midlands has great schools actually. Check University of Leicester,University of Loughborough;then check University of Lancaster and the University of Manchester too. If the ranking facts with all its politics appeal to you in the choice you want to make,then Google Guardian university ranking tables for 2014 alongside Times Higher education universities ranking 2014 then Complete University guide. Once you access the 2014 editions,check for the subject tables to see the leading schools in your course areas. I can do these for you it is just that you need to learn such a useful research skill with the fore-going guidance. ![]() |
tobtap: dude...i have an offer from mdx and my most important concern is accommodation and can u pls give me ur candid opinion about the school and the social lifeMDX is a good school,it is promising and progressive.The social life is a rich one;especially if you can start out in the university halls of residence and also key into the many social opportunities and events that the school organize. If you have the money,stay in the halls.If you don't have the funds,then go for a single room in a shared house. Those are easy to have in Hendon. If you can,do reach out to anyone who is studying there to help you get that. Otherwise,ask the international office for private accommodation contact and links. |
Fools will ignore facts and the echoes of reason to be ugly clowns. El-Rufai has raised some fundamental issues and spoken intelligently,bigots and morons will rather insult him than disagree with him intelligently. If you ever wonder why Nigeria has become this failed,evil and comprehensively decayed state,just check the caliber of ignorant apes and rats that will rather insult those they hate than logically deconstruct their arguments. Imbeciles! |
Senator Okonkwo has always been in the PDP even though he has always called himself APC chair in the South East. He lost his value in the APC when he allowed his fight for the control of the party's soul with Ngige to make him mobilize for the PDP candidate in the last governorship election against Ngige his own party man. He also fought Ngige hard for the control of the party structures in the East during the last election and failed. As usual,most Nigerians are very stupid and too dumb to remember these things and to remember that this same man has repeated told the whole Ndigbo that the APC is their best hope. Most of those from the South-be it East of South-are always quick to condemn the APC even without looking at the specific circumstances of the departure of each of these opportunists and very corrupt politicians. Of course,una don condemn APC tire,yet has Jonathan provided security amid very many dying daily?Has he created jobs for many of these emorons who are his senseless apologists even as pitiably unemployed as they are?Is Nigeria not worse than it has ever been under this clueless,visionless and incompetent guy? One thing I have always known is that most of those who unreasonably critique the APC and these guys on premises of empty sentiments and ignorant bigotism do not even have voter's cards. Let Jonathan lead Nigeria forever;your poverty status and hunger will remain worse if you don't get killed by the urchins and bastards killing our people everywhere soon! |
