Did you say you applied and got an Adsense account already after seeing my comment? I have my website bro, and i get 45 views in about 20 minutes on a normal day.

I've scaled thru the first stage of the application, but i keep getting turned down at the second stage.

I really like what you said here: stop limiting yourself and don't let anyone limit you

raayah:

I'm not saying you should pay dowry, everyone should do whatever they like.
Like I prefaced in my post, it's my personal opinion. No one will pay anybody to marry me.
Now Op directly says that a woman's worth is her dowry and should be lessened if she doesn't have a hymen.
Isn't the op saying that women are synonymous with goods and she can be bargained for if she has a defect.
This is why I don't like dowry personally.

Antina:
Mr Dericman, curse ur future if u have never slept with another man's future wife. So who do u expect to pay complete bride price on her? you? But u can also do it this way to make it easier for u, whenever u are done sleeping with any girl of ur choice, give her part of the bride price and tell her that her future husband will complete it whenever she is ready to marry.

raayah:


And what about men that are not virgins?

If you are going to compare the worth of a woman to mere money, you're probably not worth it at all.

This is 2016 and we should stop this dowry nonsense. Women are not articles to be bought and sold.

seunmsg:
Very revealing article. I agree with most of the arguments of the author except the issue of importation not being a problem and devaluation not resulting in serious inflation.

The level of importation in Nigeria today is not sustainable considering the inadequate foreign exchange earnings. Again, if we are serious about creating jobs and becoming a major global economic player, we need to reduce our over dependence on importation and stimulate our manufacturing industry. China and India did not become the second and third largest economy by importation, they achieved the feat by manufacturing almost all their local needs and still manufacturing enough for exportation to other countries. He identified exportation as a problem but the fact is, we can't export when we are not even producing enough to meet local needs. We need to discourage importation to stimulate local production.

The argument that devaluation does not cause serious inflation is just weak. The truth is, the real rate of inflation that the people contend with is not really reflected in the inflation figures that the NBS comes up with. When we devalue, the first thing that will go up is the cost of fuel importation and that is what the present administration can't afford. In calculating the inflation rate, NBS takes a lot of items into consideration and so, the real effect of the increase in petroleum products is watered down in the overall rate.
Again, minimum wage of workers has remain the same since 2011 and inflation has risen by over 5%. Adding another 1-2% to the inflation rate as a result of devaluation without increasing workers salary is wickedness.

Even the most free of things are not free... there is always a price to pay. Adsense is 'free', the process of applying and getting approved is the 'Price'.

Mustiboy:
thanks bro. Is there any way of closing d topic sef?

Farmercist:


That would just be the best thing to do, but if you've applied for Adsense recently you'll know my plight. I just lost an account to hackers tho, while in the process of recovering it i still want to purchase another just in case...

Farmercist:
Anyone got a Google adsense account for sale? I need to purchase one ASAP!

2BB4CB3E:
dude you are acting desperate,

1: the day she saw you and gave you her number maybe she was feeling you!
2:you should observe how often she returns your calls, a girl that likes you no matter how busy she is will call back when she is chanced (you messed up shld have laid back and observed)
3:her meeting up with you after you after your pesting her was her giving you a chance to impress her, then you bringing up her job and pay lol (only desperate guys behave like that)
4:now after messing up you want to act silly lol
well see what you will do, if you like fool yourself
2moro around 2pm go to a fast food resturant get her lunch and drop it off for her at where she works
when you get home dont call her wait just be patient
if she eventually calls dont pick then after some hours call her back once
she will pick (talk casually like what she did in the past didnt happen)
you shld know the rest

Woged2005:
Complaint was probably filed by another bad-belly Nigerian. That's the way they live in Texas -(pull him down attitude). Who on earth will believe these in the USA? Food is probably the cheapest thing in US that even American rats are well-fed. If they stopped her from using hot water, did they seal the tap with a lock when they go out? I knew a story like this where a lady did everything to come to USA. after one year on arrival her relative who wanted her to move in with him promising her a better life but was resisted by her hosts filed criminal complaint against her host alleging unprintable things.

One lesson I must teach people: call me any name if you like; If you want peace of mind, keep Nigerians without a legal visa at arms length when they come abroad...don't rent your room to them, not even as extended visitors. Nigerians are generally kind and happy people, but very few terribly bad ones can cause chaos and turn your life into misery. forget about the 'church' they carry on their head...na for mouth

Until we hear the side of the couple, don't judge.

smithsydny:
if like say na babe you be I for toast you here.. just kidding bro. words for the wise

Nubian113:
Did you explain to her what you just told us, that you've loved her for 5years ect? She is paying you back for the way you rejected her advances although due to shyness? Did you explain this to her... You really need to come correct you only get one shot and you blew two already. I'm sorry... She sounds like she is worth the chase so up your game and sweep her off her feet. Be yourself but the best you, the brave you, the cool you, the friend soon to be lover you. Good luck

Hi Nairalanders,
First and foremost, I want to commend each and everyone of you for ur contributions towards the growth of this forum. Yes, I know it belongs to Mr. Seun Osewa, but we've in one way or the other kept nairaland alive. I have been a visiting member of this forum for over 3years and I've enjoy every bit of ur contributions, every bit of ur back2back comment like #IDon'tBelieveIt, end time post, FTC, leave trash for lawma and so on.[i][/i]
Today, I am here because I need help, I need advice; pls I urge you to read and be free to contribute, as this would help me to decide at this critical moment.
I met a girl five years ago on my way to write post-utme at my State Uni, as God would have it we both got admission into the State Uni but not so long I got another admission at one of the federal Uni through direct entry into 200L. I told her my feelings and how I would want us to start a relationship but she declined, that she needed to face her studies which I agreed with her. As time goes on, year after years I keep reminding her of my Love for her but she insisted that the best that could come out of us is friendship. That was where it done on me that I have been FRIENDZONED.
Guys, all along i have had one or two relationships in school and every every make sense, so its not as if I am a junky when it comes to dating but dis babe matter just tie wrapper for me. Funny enough, I had once introduce her to my parent as my girl, coz they've been worried that I not brought any lady home neither have they seen me with one. So, I just had to introduce somebody to them just to douse the tension coz e be like say dey don dey reason say i be denrele (na joke oo)
Fast forward to 2016, We were done with school and I base in the FCT, she came for a wedding and we got along, I took her out and in one of the outings, after telling her how I would not give up her and all that, it got to a point she made an attempt to kiss me but my liver drop, I was shy so to say and she left. When i got home that night, we chatted about the kiss which she asked why was I shy but i told her i don't know and we ended the chat. I couldn't sleep that night, that a girl i had wanted for over five yrs decided to bless my life with a kiss and i became a dundee united. The truth is no matter how crazy u think u are, somebody get ur medicine just as Iyanya get Ivon Nelson medicine. Three days after that scenario, I went visiting as i had made up my mind to kiss her so as to regain my confidence back, i wish i hadi not, as i hug d babe, say make i kiss her na so d matter be like mother wey dey try give akamu to her by force and d pikin dey turn head, dey drag say mama i no dey chuap . She declined my calculated attempt to kiss her. I stood there like pesin wey hug transformer coz i couldn't move but thanks to God I was able to get home but in different pieces.
Now, the truth is I love this girl so much that i would like to spend the rest of my life with but i don't know how to go about it. Funny enough, I have recommended so many advice to people on how to go about relationship and it worked for them but its quite unfortunate that i can't cure myself.
My fellow Nlders, how do I move from the duplex I was giving at FRIENDZONE AVENUE? Thanks for ur time.
