OneCandleAway: Do you think they'll disclose to the congo government the full worth of gold they mine?
You need to understand colonization set Africa back. Trying to do it all ourselves will be too slow. Chinese partnership makes it fast. But I agree with u that they may not be disclosing the full value of the gold but Nigerians aren't much better when it comes to honesty either
OneCandleAway: Black Africa is operating under a serious curse.
How can you grant China rights to mining gold in exchange for infrastructure. Why can't you mine yourself, sell and use the proceeds got infrastructure?
Black africa isn't operating under a curse... the mining is not free... there's a permitting process and revenues accruing accrues to the fed government. It's also a good way to make friends with a super power.
Africa isn't cursed there's politics behind these things e.g. even if Nigeria mined and processed buyers could set a high import tarriff..... the Chinese partnership is a good one.
Moreign001: Some women are the most confused and complicated beings. I knew a guy, he told her date as of then that he wants to get married. And she said she's not ready. She was 24yrs of age. This guy left her, got married to another girl. Right now she doesn't allow the guy to be, she's all over him, and the wife got to know about it which is causing a very big issue in their home.
Let me tell you what happened. The girl liked him but was greedy and thought she could get a better guy.... from 24 her age advanced and as time passed, she realized she couldn't get a better guy but she thought she still had him waiting for her on standby. After he got married, she realized not only has she lost the guy on standby but also she can't find a better guy....she's effective stranded.... so she started pursuing the guy she was too greedy to marry thinking there's something better.
TMKsouth: Rustenburg is in the North West Province with Mahikeng.
We're slowly renaming - Port Elizabeth was this year changed to Gqeberha. Pretoria is now Tshwane. Pietermaritzburg is Polokwane. East Rand is Ekurhuleni and Nelspruit was changed to Mbombela. Those are some of the big cities.
I hope they can rename Johannesburg too.... pls talk to the local politicians they say africa is 3rd world but yet want to steal our land and our culture....
We also need same in lagos. Lagos is a Portuguese name and Victoria Island is named after British queen.
The people of Forcados can change back the name if they want to. There are steps they will take.
that's true oh! Lagos is a Portuguese name.... these ppl really dealt with us sha. maybe they wanted to create New Portugal i.e. present day Nigeria would have been New Portugal or New Spain.....
those of us who say colonization was such a long time ago obviously do not know the lasting impacts of it.
A friend told me of a village in delta state called forcado, a village rich in oil in riverine area.....
forcado is a Portuguese word for forced.
these colonizers went as far as renaming our towns to their name!
sane thing they did in south Africa - Johannesburg isn't an African name it's Dutch. they wanted to claim South Africa is New Netherlands.... or similar
[quote author=TMKsouth post=107841897]It was literally money up for grabs when a Cash-in-Transit (CIT) truck in Rustenburg, South Africa, called locals into urgent action. The video sees several bystanders on the crime scene getting cash from the bombed van on Sunday.
Leading crime reporter Yusuf Abramjee announced the armed robbery cash heist in the North-West Province with the headline, “CIT Robbery Rustenburg NW. Cash van bombed".
The CIT truck is seen blown up nearly into two. A maroon old-school Mercedes Benz is seen crashed into the front of the cash van before the bombing. Even with the shock of the chaos it is impossible to miss the scores of locals who helped themselves to the cash that was left all over the shattered truck and road.
Some of the locals seen in the footage include a figure wearing a G4S security uniform – presumably waiting for emergency support – leaving the people to have it with the flying cash money, some visibly on fire.
One of the comments on the post came from @neo_tebogo who reveals he has was awfully close to the CIT truck heist action in Rustenburg.
“I was literally 200m from where it happened. I have to thank that guy who sells rabbits at the entrance of Greystone, he stopped me and showed me what was happening in front.
cococandy: 1) In my opinion, not everyone had to have kids. If people get married to whoever they want to be with, then kids are a bonus. Not the sole purpose of marriage.
2) while 25 and below is young to get married, maturity varies by the individual. I did get married at a younger age than that and I don’t think I rushed it. It just happened at what I considered appropriate for me at the time. I would consider a woman who gets married at 30+ as also very appropriately timed for marriage. It just depends on how it fits into their life at that time.
3) if you think about it, a lot of women do give birth to the majority of their kids in their 30s. Maybe the first or second might be in their 20s but if they have more, it usually tends to be in their 30s. So I’d advice ladies to not despair and choose the wrong man because of what it considered late or early or on time. You can certainly grow and mature and pick a partner from the multiple choices you have whenever you feel ready.
My angst is with these guys who often speak out of both sides of their mouth. One minute they are calling unmarried ladies unprintable names, the next minute they are acting surprised that young ladies are desperate to get married. My dear, I can’t with them.
Ladies do not choose men FOR MARRIAGE, men choose women for marriage simply because most women are liabilities and expect the man to "be a man" and take care of family expenses. Also the woman is invited by the man to live in his house and not in the woman's house.
A woman can only choose a man for marriage if household expenses are shared on a 50%-50% basis.
And after a woman chooses a man for marriage, the man is still free to have his flings if he wants.... he has more staying power on the dating market.
baby124: You must be a woman to conclude all this about women. Or you just seat down and imagine all this bullshi*te. A woman has at least 5 men at any time after her. Even pregnant women get toasters and grannies too. Some grannies get boyfriends. Lol. Seems guys make up story time to make themselves feel better. Women have a lot more opportunity to cheat than men.
women know how to rationalize nonsense well. thats your gender's specialty. as for grannies having boyfriends thats just utter rubbish - it never happens. You know you are talking nonsense in order to rationalize the hurt from the truth you have heard that its lights out for most women past 35. any guy toasting post 35 woman obviously has a "lets just manage this one until something better comes around" mentality.

they are not "complicated". they are simply greedy and selfish normal human beings.....

Women at any given point have a lot of toasters but this does not continue past the age of 35.
cococandy: They rush to marry mainly because it’s men like OP who still mock them for not being married before 30.
While Biological clock may be an issue, a 30+ lady can have any amount of children she wants. It’s men who shame them for not being married And then turn around to wonder why they are in rush to marry.
a woman over 30 can have any number of children she wants but there are some caveats. biologically, it has been proven that a woman is most fit for conception and birth of the healthiest babies between 18-30..... this is also the same reason why guys disturb girls 18-30 the most.... nature has designed it all out. the reason why guys disturb girls 18-28 the most is so they can pick the best man to mate with.... the rate at which men show interest in a girl is directly proportional to her youthful look - the more youthful she looks, the more disturbance she gets because youth is subconsciously tied to mating....
yes a woman over 30 can have any number of children she wants but with increased risks in labor (God forbid)... men have biological clock too they just too proud to confess... i believe a guys biological clock is 40.... and 35 is the best age for a guy to have children... a guy can marry at 35 and have flings with hot girls the rest of his life but by 35 the girl is no longer pulling guys like she used to and even for her to have flings is difficult.
Any woman that accuses me of "cheating" after getting married is wasting her time - its becos her own bargaining power is gone; if not she would do the same....she cheated herself by not getting married on time.
However, our lives aren't ours in the first place, we are ere to play a part in the grand scheme of things like a pencil in the hands of a writer or an artist, we are just fitting into a role of many roles
But why introduce more pencils under this harsh economy/ world?
CsRockefeller: Wow! So what will be your advice to a 29 year old that has interest in travelling but not in any relationship?
Try your best to get several relationship candidates before travelling out (thats if you cant find one), then come back frequently..... some people do get lucky abroad and meet people though....so dont discount meeting someone abroad too just that its not as frequent....
Worksunlimited: My guy! Na God o.. Especially, when people use it to yab you some times, it can be a pain tbh but like they say the end justifies the means.
I owe it to my children to find the best mother for them and not to let societal pressure and circumstances dictate who i am and the woman i choose.
I love this post. Not just the best mother but also to have the money to take care of them. But why bring in children into this world in the first place? Is it really worth it?? Knowing we are all born to die??
Please lawyers in the forum. Help me reach out to this lady on Facebook. Her phone number is on her Facebook. Let's try and make sure this man is locked up. Why waste someone's time?
Let's use him and teach other men a lesson. Thank you.
And may God Almighty punish any man who does not have intention of marry a lady but uses marriage promises to sleep with her. May he die miserably.
I know 2 females who are single mums and are hiding it from suitors.
lookingfly: You will definitely get a good wife na (my cousin married at 42 and have 3 bouncing kids now)! why didn't you get a befitting wife abroad? Am planning to leave the country and and am not married oooo, make i know whether to marry before i japa.
It's better for you to marry before you jappa. If not ur life abroad no go too sweet.
oldienavie: I clocked 36 years 2 months ago, I look fit for my age compared to many Nigerians(I realised most Nigerians dont pay attention to their physical fitness). I have been outside of the country and just got back with the aim of trying to get a wife. Am I too old to expect to find a decent woman ? What suggestions do you have with regards to getting a good woman in the shortest possible time ? Thanks all.
Go to your village or to smaller towns. Lagos is just like abroad. Pray fervently. Searching for a woman is a marketing function which means the number of bad matches will outnumber the good ones.... attend young professionals events in Lagos (if you must search in Lagos). Try deeper life bible church.... develop a compatibility questionnaire and assess you and the girls compatibility.... be sure to make an informed decision... there is nothing like "love"
Joe4real1988: U don't really get the difference dear. He is seeking for a clue on how to get a good wife not because of his age but because he want a 'Good wife' and the fact that he may not stay in 9ja for long. Women go to Shiloh and all places praying and seeking for a husband not only because they want a good husband but because husband itself is scarce. Just know the difference between the 2 scenario. Know this too, most men couldn't get married in their 20's coz they know they are not financial fit to feed 2 heads and more to come, but you women run out of time for feeling u have not flexed life enough in your 20's to settle down which yields to your unseriousness and hoeing around. I blame the OP for including 'If he is too old to get a good' in his post coz he forgot his value as a man.

Husband and wife is a negotiated agreement between 2 people. Yes you can get married. Find a woman who is looking for a husband too but don't agree to monogamy...
Afamsi: Some of your age mates are already having children 10 yrs old. You are here asking a childish question. No, wait till you are 56 before you start to look for her if 36 is late. After all Ned married Regina at 59
Nigerians are the reason their country is undeveloped. wicked evil people. I don't see such in foreign forums.
BadRadio: No... If God didnt want us to fornicate he will remove that part of our being. We fornicate because God created us as sexual beings.
So we are justified when we fornicate. So feel free to fornicate, there's nothing anyone can do about it. If we perish, we perish
This post is one of the few on here that makes sense. Christianity for years has repressed human sexually using all sorts of crazy words like "convict", "immorality", "fornicate"
The funny thing is konji still dey catch Christians. So why didn't their God deliver them from it?
And if we are to go with Bible on lust standards then everyone is going to hell.....except a tiny percentage- and the probability of being in that tiny percentage is so low that I don't believe it's worth it. Since God has ordained he'll for us, we might as well just go there instead of being constantly threatened creating a living hell on earth.
