I'm using redmi Teleclasp: Let's settle this: Is Samsung still worth the money in Nigeria? 📱🇳🇬
Some people say Samsung is still the safest Android choice because of its cameras, software support and overall quality.
Others say you're paying mainly for the name and can get similar or even better hardware from Chinese brands for much less.
If you had ₦500k–₦700k today, which phone would you buy and why?
Samsung? Xiaomi? Redmi? Tecno? Infinix? OnePlus? Nothing? Or another brand?
No marketing — just honest user experience.
What phone are you currently using, and would you buy it again? 👇 |
Romance › Re: Why Do Good/church Girls Find It Difficult To Get Married? by benjaminonyema5(m): 6:08pm On Jun 24 |
Yes you're very right in your write up Host78: You'll think that a good/churchy girl, especially the born again ones should have men chasing after them
Or getting married every weekend. But that's not always the case.
I used to have a good / very churchy cousin sister like that who was unmarried till around 35 years of age.
She's good but finding a husband was extremely difficult.
The one thing I noticed from good ladies is their rude behavior.
Hear me out first. A girl can be good in that she doesn't sleep around and try to be closer to God.
But these sets of ladies tends to be rude to men who comes around.
I don't know how they think relationships happen, whether they think a man will just come around, propose to them and get married.
Or whether God will just speak out of heaven and say, you and this man are destined husband and wife, so get married next week.
But somehow, these ladies fail to understand that relationship is built, it first start with a show of interest, a flirt or a simple lust.
Those things they feel is a "sin" are what starts relationship.
And so, when a man approaches a churchy lady, her immediate response is always the rude one.
She want to display her "goodness" or make it known she's "pure" and not worldly.
And this most times turn most men away from them.
It's one thing to be good but it's another thing to constantly want to prove it to people.
Trust me, a man knows a good lady when he sees one. Most men knows how to treat a good woman, you constantly saying "I'm not one of those cheap girls" and so on doesn't make any difference, it only pushes the man away.
You might be saying "the genuine man" or "intentional man" will continue to pursue or apply pressure, my dear they will not.
And this is why most of you miss good men and then later in a hurry settle for men you may not like.
I've seen too many girls dodging potential and even men of substance and later settled for people way less than them.
Take my cousin for instance, the one man who was once genuinely interested in her, came with a big car.
He was big but she was young, beautiful and all "in the lord". She once said to people "he thinks I'll like him because of his cars"
When she started midnight prayers for marriage with fasting aggressively eh. It was not funny o.
Every prayer at midnight was filled with husband requests, how did I know this? Because she prayed loudly and everyone in the compound can hear it.
Who did she later settled for? A teacher! Way older than her.
Imagine a man probably at 45 years, with almost nothing going on for him.
See I'm not here to castigate anyone or to put anyone down or to pressure anyone.
As a lady, understand that relationship is not magical. It's not 'godly'.
I have another girl from my school. Then she was the girl every medical student wanted.
Being a good girl pays. Being a foōlish good girl trying to constantly prove a point will lead you no where.
This is also why brothers in deeper life often find it difficult to marry within the church.
I remember in one of the service the older pastor keep speaking on why brothers often go outside to marry while the sisters are 'good' and beautiful.
It's simply because these girls have become 'un-talk-to-able'. |
Romance › Re: I Cleaned My Girlfriend’s House And Instantly Wanted To Break Up by benjaminonyema5(m): 8:28pm On May 23 |
If you can't continue tolerating her please quit. You are not her father oarowosola: I met her sometime around April or May last year, and from the beginning, things seemed fine between us. Like every relationship, we both made sacrifices, and even though I don’t like keeping score in relationships, I know I gave a lot of myself into it. Over time, though, I started noticing certain habits and behaviors that became harder and harder for me to ignore. At first, I kept convincing myself that maybe I was overthinking things or expecting too much, but eventually I realized that I was simply becoming exhausted.
One of the biggest issues for me was cleanliness and basic responsibility. I’m not a perfect person, and I can be nonchalant too. I’m someone who enjoys my own space and doesn’t constantly need attention or communication. If someone is busy and doesn’t check up on me for a while, I honestly don’t take it personally. But what bothered me was the imbalance. She could disappear for days or weeks whenever she was occupied and expect me to understand, but if I withdrew into my own space just to protect my peace, she would become upset about it. That double standard was one of the first things that started weighing on me emotionally.
The first time I visited her house, I was shocked by how untidy it was. I’m not obsessive about cleanliness, but I believe there should be a basic level of order, especially when you know someone is visiting you for the first time. When she came to my place for the first time, I made an effort. I cleaned my house , mopped the floor, arranged the bed, and even bought small things just to make the environment more comfortable. It wasn’t about trying to impress her with money; it was simply intentionality. I wanted her to feel welcomed.
But each time I visited her place, the environment remained the same. One particular day, after she stepped out, I decided to clean the entire house myself just to prove a point. While sweeping, I found sugar inside the couch, rotting cashew scattered around, and several things that clearly caused unpleasant odors. I cleaned the parlour, arranged the bedroom, organized her bags, and put everything in order. When she came back, she thanked me, but I remember telling her that it shouldn’t get to the point where her boyfriend had to clean her entire house before it became livable. I told her clearly that if I visited again and the place was still in that condition, it would probably be the last time I came there.
Unfortunately, nothing changed. On another visit, the smell in the house was so terrible that I kept trying to trace where it was coming from. Eventually, I discovered a sack beside the couch she had been sitting on. Something inside it had gone bad, and the odor was unbearable. I carried it outside myself because I couldn’t understand how someone could stay in that environment comfortably. Later, when she went to make yam and eggs, I followed her into the kitchen and found another terrible smell coming from plates that had clearly been sitting there for days. Instead of cleaning the sink first, she simply pushed the dirty dishes aside and placed the yam directly on the dirty sink to peel it. In that moment, I felt completely traumatized and emotionally checked out.
Beyond cleanliness, I also started feeling unappreciated in the relationship. On her birthday, I called her early in the morning, posted her on my WhatsApp status, and celebrated her the best way I could at the time, even though I was broke. Yet she still complained that I didn’t make her birthday special enough. Meanwhile, on my own birthday, there was no call in the morning, no thoughtful gesture, nothing until later at night when she casually said she forgot because she had been going through a lot. What hurt me more was that I had actually bought her gifts for her birthday, including a designer bag and matching slippers I personally made for her. It wasn’t really about material things; it was the imbalance in effort and thoughtfulness.
I also noticed the same imbalance in everyday life. Whenever she visited my place, I was usually the one cooking, cleaning, and taking care of things even while working from home as a shoemaker. Most times she would just sit pressing her phone while I handled everything. She barely cooked for me throughout the relationship, and eventually I stopped going out of my way because I started feeling taken for granted.
Money became another issue. She would borrow money and either delay repayment or never complete it. As a shoemaker, the money I receive for jobs is not pure profit because most of it goes back into materials and production. Yet I still found myself lending her large amounts from jobs I was supposed to complete quickly. Even when she paid back partially, it felt emotionless, almost like she didn’t recognize the inconvenience it caused me.
The final straw happened recently when she visited me during a very busy work period. She suggested we spend the night in a hotel even though my house was already comfortable, and I agreed. I paid for the room, and when food was ordered later that night, I still ended up paying almost everything despite already spending heavily on the hotel. The next day, after returning from the market exhausted from buying materials for work, I expected to at least meet food at home since all the ingredients were available. Instead, I walked into a kitchen with bread wrappers and milk sachets scattered around while she had already eaten without cleaning up after herself. I still ended up cooking for myself.
The following morning, after she made food during the night, she left the kitchen in complete disorder again. Pots, plates, and leftovers were everywhere while I woke up early to continue working. Rather than cleaning up, she sat watching TikTok videos. Eventually I had to pause my own work to clean the kitchen myself because I couldn’t stand the environment anymore. At that point, I realized I was mentally exhausted.
What made everything clearer for me was understanding that this wasn’t just about dirt or money. It was about incompatibility. I realized I was constantly carrying responsibilities that should have been shared. I’m not against people hiring cleaners or getting help. I also take some of my clothes to dry cleaners. But there’s a difference between getting assistance and being unable to handle basic responsibilities yourself. If someone who is meant to clean your house doesn’t show up, there should still be a basic ability to sweep, organize, remove trash, and maintain a healthy environment. I couldn’t understand depending entirely on other people for something so fundamental.
At some point, I stopped seeing peace in the relationship. I started feeling drained instead of supported. Even during intimate moments, she would make comments like, “If you leave me, I will haunt you,” and although she may not have meant it literally, those kinds of statements only made me more uncomfortable emotionally.
Eventually, I accepted the truth that we are simply not compatible. I don’t hate her, and I’m not trying to paint myself as perfect. I just know that I can no longer continue in a relationship where I constantly feel emotionally exhausted, unappreciated, and burdened. I’ve reached a point where I no longer want to argue, explain, or force things to work. I’ve already made up my mind that the relationship is over, and at this point, I just want to walk away peacefully and move on with my life.
What do you think? Be nice please

My dear, most circumcisions were done in primary health centers yommen: I wonder how these people get their figures. Many people were not born in the hospital in Nigeria. Meanwhile, how many percent of the total population of Nigerian men do the hospitals have their records to be able to know the circumcision status? Most of these figures were cooked, abeg. |
