Op, reading your post hurts the eyes... Literally. You could do with some spacing between paragraphs.

That said, I didn't get how these single moms are stigmatized. You talked about why some mothers are single. How are they stigmatized?

Pretty sure owners of this phone would be discriminated against in the iPhone community. They would be like "that is church rat edition"

"Do you love me?"

What is wrong with you people? This is a fake story by bloggers and they went on to use a random lady's pics (pulled from Instagram without her knowledge permission.

It's a fake story probably meant to tarnish her image.

Ulrich01:
Please what is the name of the app?

try Network Cell Info. I think it has a free lite version too.

Nice. Hard to see Liverpool not turning this over in the second leg.

makydebbie:
Hey dear, I'm not like your mother.
I pay my own bills.
I've my shito business which is over a year now.
I wrote a book at 19 which is selling at so many book stores online and offline.
With all these, I work as a journalist in the biggest media house in my country.
I'm not your size so mind who you talk to.
I'm not your mother. Be guided.

shove your godforsaken identity up your humongous nose. Nobody cares who you are or who you are not.

saint2ace:
U guys should use some decorum on the words u throw out. God help us all.

For the records, no phone is crap in as much as it applies to the person buying it. I know we all have expectations per pricing of devices based on understanding but each to his own. If ur device suits you, works for you and fits into ur budget then pls go for it. It's that simple.

But my take and i think i speak for a lot of people, let's have some decorum in our utterances, we have kids reading some of the pages here. NO PHONE IS CRAP. Can we pls move on?

thank you. I agree with this, not everyone has the same phone needs or financial power so it makes sense that there are phones of varying quality.

What isn't quite nice though, is manufacturers churning out overpriced phones.

Blu03:
i get your point now.
I meant having a family. If a couple wants to do that, they be financially buoyant.
Regarding your last point, i doubt if thats what the op meant...
If so, like i pointed out earlier, the 300k would be more than enough.

the OP literally has WEDDING pics in his post. There are also terms like 'propose', and nothing like 'having babies'.

Blu03:
this is Nigeria.
Do you think catering for a baby is cheap?
That 300k would be spent in less than a month.
As a single lady, which i'm guessing you are, calculate how much you spend on public transportation alone for a year...
Calculate how much you spend on feeding, medications, etc.
Life isn't cheap.

you aren't financially wise, that's why you think one has to spend 300k in recurring expenses every month just because they have a baby. Are you planning to have surgery every month?

You probably don't earn up to half of that but you can easily spend it in less than a month. Baby or not, no man who wants to grow financially should have you around. You are wasteful.

Blu03:
generally, people (especially Nigerians) do.
You get married, you have kids. Thats the expected thing. Thats the angle i'm writting from.
If it's just a man and woman, 300k would be more than enough!
It would be the same as dating.

I hope you understand what you are saying. Starting a family is different from having a family. If you are marrying a man and expecting to have kids. You aren't STARTING a family with 3 members. That's all I wanted to point out.

The OP is asking how much is enough to feel like one is ready to get married. In other words, how much would cover the wedding and settling down?

What exactly is the 300k you have been posting everywhere for? It's small for a wedding and more than enough for monthly expenses (even for a family of 5).

makydebbie:
Oh they're quoting me and insulting me, maybe they want to remain in poverty I can't blame them.
They'll tell us when love started paying the bills.

what does your husband get to benefit from your money-obsessed self? Planning to become another liability wife, who is content with just spending her husband's money?

Blu03:
husband, wife and a kid...

a man's kid is family regardless of whether he marries the mother or not. You don't START a family with 3 persons unless have no child and are marrying a single parent. Then there is the option of marrying two women at once.

You people make it sound like everyone that gets into marriage must have kids right away. Having kids is a whole different phase from marriage, so not sure why it is always factored into readiness for marriage. Some choose to wait till they are ready for the responsibility of raising children, as it involves way more than just having money.

Blu03:
let us be realistic tho, financial security is a very important factor. Money would influence the level of happiness in the relationship. Life is complex. That 300k wouldn't be enought to start up a family with at least three members.
The child's basic welfare, feeding, education, health care, etc. Apart from maturity, both physical and emotional, money is another solid foundation on which a decent marriage would built.

how exactly do you start a family with 3 members? You'd marry two wives at once?

If there is a thread with more drama than this one, I'd like to see it

Supersymetry:
Yeah, that's what am saying there are some men that needs to change likewise women.
But changing only the woman will not stop it, and there's no need for masculinity the best option will be for women to attend self awareness, logical thinking, metacognition, and be good but genes and environmental controls the above but if women refuse to do so we find alternative by making artificial womb and robots yes!!(is 100% possible).full masculinity are part of animalistic behaviour(controlled by the limbic system) we humans need to stop in order to transcend.

I disagree though. Masculinity for me, means attributes of a man. As long as everyone isn't the same gender, we'd always have attributes specific to gender. Masculinity is not bad, same way femininity isn't bad.

It's mainstream media that has tried to give everything bad a male face - crime, violence, cheating - when they are simply things humans do (if they think they can get away with it). In order to keep up this rhetoric, they use 'toxic' for times when men do bad things, and somehow find a way to paint the woman a victim who simply reacted when she does them.

Would be interesting to see how the gender wars unfold.. I don't know about other men, but I can see through all the gender revolution bullshyte.

joyandfaith:
you are living in stone age

no I'm not, because men exist. Leave technology to women and maybe we'd have just discovered how to light a fire with stones.

Supersymetry:
Look!!, some men are toxic and need to change their ways a real human should learn to control his limbic system and use more of his cerebral cortex. Is like you have not encountered toxic men then imagine if you are a woman.

there are toxic people everywhere. Haven't you read of women killing their boyfriends and husbands? What of those who emotionally abuse their men or defenseless kids? Aren't they toxic?

The worst part is there are several more women who think there is nothing wrong with abuse or even murder if they suspect he's cheating (which they also do, more masterfully). Some would even advice fellow ladies to use poison or grind bottle. But slap a woman back after she slaps you unprovoked and you become the devil.

Witches that keep screaming toxic masculinity up and down without looking in the mirror.

don't bother sharing another feel good rhetoric about the future being female.

The only way women can truly dominate is by doing what they do best - manipulating men into working for them. I work in tech, not only are you ladies far fewer (because you are generally uninterested in anything intellectual), you also expect to put in less effort and get equal results.

joyandfaith:
we are talking about future. keep on living in the past.

is it your fellow ladies that are busy saying "hookup only" all over the internet that want to take over from men that are already trying to study Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence on their own? Or perhaps it's the ladies that have to be cajoled to try learning programming but who prefer to sell wigs, makeup and pink lips balm on Instagram?

Please take a seat somewhere. There is no past, present or future where women dominate in anything truly meaningful to the human race (apart from nursing and childbirth).

joyandfaith:
go and tell that to merkel or pelosi or may. in future, many world leaders will be women. go to medical or law schools , girls are proven their worth. Hunting , farming, shepherding are no longer important profession in society. Men used these professions to dominate society for centuries. now your intelligence will determine whether you are real man or not. intellectual v physical strength

oh please! How many women are in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics)? How many percentage of inventions were made by women? How many women have patents?

It's not like ladies are intellectually inferior, you lot are just mostly mentally lazy, content to hook up with some top guy who would be providing for you. Entitled lot.

You think dominating is about complaining everyday on social media about being victims? If that is your definition, then yes, women are dominating, because men are the ones out there making those cars, constructing those buildings, inventing the future. Men are 90% the reason humans have made the tech advancements we have!

Depends on how you define strength and weakness for men and women.

Ganjafama:
I have seen a mother ape risk her life to save her baby's life from the bullet of my uncle who is a hunter. I quietly whispered to him not to shoot her. If an ape could be so motherly not to abandon her baby, why can't a human do more?. Again look at the language you used "bloody kids" - so unwomanly.

it's actually womanly. The true nature of women is to love their children and hate other people's children (to the point of extreme physical abuse). It usually starts with verbal abuse. She's just expressing her own hate for all kids that aren't hers.

Christmasdon:
.DON'T HIT YOUR HEAD ON THE WALL MAN. THEY ARE STILL COMING FOR BARCELONA FC MAYBE WITH MESSI JOIN, ALL THOSE CLUBS WHICH PEP GUARDIOLA MANAGED AS A MANAGER. JUST KEEP CALM AND WATCH MESSI'S BALLON DI'OR STRIPPED AND GIVEN TO ORORO NWA. CR7

dreamer. Extending voting time to steal Ribery's award is not enough for your Cristiano, you guys are now dreaming of giving him Messi's Ballon d'or. Better tell him to hustle so he can win one more before he becomes irrelevant in world football.

Mckandre:
I haven't noticed any of these things u guys are saying about CODm, to me, the graphics is well detailed and the gameplay is really intense and it got lots of modes to choose from. Mind if ask what battle royal mode in CODm do u guys play?

4 player FPP. It's just one location every freaking time and I got to top 10 (or was it 5?) very easily.

My character died because I was outside the zone (it's less forgiving than PUBG's own) and not because anyone I faced manage to shoot me before I could shoot them (in PUBG you could be wasted by one unseen eediot even if you are running or driving). Not sure if it's because PUBG has more hackers, but my heart doesn't quite race the same way with CODM battle royale.

I don't exactly notice any graphics difference (my current phone is just there, I can only play low graphics on both). It's just gameplay. In the end, multiplayer is my thing.

atheistandproud:
Before commencing:

This is solely my opinion. I have and play both games when time and network connection will allow.

CoDM: Here the action is at breakneck speed, especially in the team rumble. Kills are easily gotten but dying is easier as well. The battle Royale mode is a bit more evenly paced but what counts here is speed, reflexes and reaction time. Very little strategy needed. I feel that the Battle Royale mode on this game felt like an afterthought as it wasn't properly though out. The graphics feel pixelated and the physics are dodgy. The Team Rumble on the other hand is what keeps bringing me back.

PUBG: has a team battle mode which I never play. Compared to that on CoDM, it's not fun at all. Where PUBG excels at is what it was built for, battle Royale! The action here may not come thick and fast but when it does, the adrenaline you burn would make a cheetah envious. The graphics are well crafted, the landscape gives a lot of tactical options and strategic placement, the physics would give any console game an envious green feeling. Apart from the occasional bot, scoring a kill in PUBG against a good opponent feels like 10 CoDM kills to me. You'll understand when you play 10 games at diamond level and score O kills. You might think you're well hidden till an AWM equipped with an 8x scope headshots you from 400m away.

Final word: If you want quick relentless action with a small kill field and plenty of targets running around to aim at, play team rumble on CoDM.

If you want a good, tactical experience, a gaming experience meticulously thought out where only your imagination will limit what you can do on the battlefield, where every kill feels like Christmas, PUBG battle royale. No other comes close.

True. I don't really enjoy Battle Royale games that much (I hate Fortnite, for example). PUBG was really nice until I discovered CODM multiplayer modes.

Tried the CODM Battle Royale mode once, and I agree, PUBG offers a far better Battle Royale experience. I'm not going back though.

Pretty sure it's Tecno or Infinix

He's the first suspect. He needs to be detained and questioned.

Someone complains of a stomach upset and asks you to pull over on 3rd mainland bridge with water Mass below, and u accepted...and watched till he jumped in.

what was he supposed to do? Tie him up? Abeg reason am as you dey talk am jor

Drizzle007:
Call of duty is where the action is.

you be man wey sabi. I uninstalled PUBG the first day I played COD mobile.

ThatKING:
if she sees this your post, it might dig a well in her heart

she might. She used to be on NL until she got signed, thought herself a celebrity and left Nairaland and whatsapp. She's probably lurking around with another handle.

She failed to get any attention with her music, so she's trying to see if she can make waves with her looks.

There's always a first time. No one is born with the knowledge of how to use dispensers or anything for that matter.

Why didn't the person recording tell her what to push for either tap so that water comes out from it? They were more interested in mocking her.

Most humans are scum.
