When I see threads like dis I become scared.
So who can one trust? Is it not better 2 deal directly so any issues dat come up, u will have only urself 2 blame.

I think I know who it is. It has 2 be d same person dat has been accused of d same thing recently. Na wa o.

I am truly afraid of this pre-order business. I want 2 buy a Camry but I am scared of entrusting my money 2 someone I can't lay a hold of if d deal goes south. I av decided 2 take matters in2 my own hands n import it myself.

@ OP, let us know gow it all ends.

Tell him o.

This Zionmmy and his super stories. First, his friend slept with a ghost now this one. Its obvious d guy does copy n waste. Won't waste my time on it.

While dealing with all these car vendors, it is buyer beware. Each person shld do his own due diligence and den pray d other party follows thru on d deal.

Make una talk how 2 submit CV there. Or is dis under-gee runs?

I was initially discouraged by the news reports of rowdiness n long queues so I had made up my mind not 2 bother. However, my husband did and said it was less than 10minutes so I set out 2day 2 register.

In my area in Surulere, there are about 3 points 2 register. I drove past in d morning around 9. The youth corp members were twiddling their thumbs and looking bored. No one in sight. I went 2 d market, bank, etc n returned by 2pm. There were 2 people at one point n d next one just had one person.

I quickly joined n sat down. It was over b4 I knew it. No stress, no issues with d equipment ( the only issue was trying 2 position d camera properly which took some time). As I left, I was left wondering what d hell people were complaining of. As I left no one joined d queue.

Pls, people, go n register n don't let people discourage u.

How do we get into CBN? When are they recruiting?

Can't believe Kadman called "Mad Men" thrash. That is d best TV show ever. It has consistently won Emmy's 4 each season 4 best screen writer.

I love it.

I guess ur right. It just sounds so wrong 2 me. It shld be used strictly in a legal sense n not in polite conversation.

Which one is Boardwalk Empire? How can Mad Men not win? It was bad enough dat Breaking Bad wasn't even nominated. I shld know. There is no TV series I avnt watched thanks 2 TV shack. Mad men, better luck next season.

I still insist that "Have you read and understand" is wrong compared with "I have read and understand". The latter sounds better than the former.

Can u show any of those links that say the former? Couldn't go through them all.

I do not accept your answer. The first one cannot be correct! I am yet to read any contract that gives such licence for bad grammar. What is more prevalent is, "Have you read and do you understand the rules of Nairaland?"

It is very sad dat d poster will say its not their tradition. This is what happens when u leave ur country n stay in another man's country. U will start 2 forget ur traditions. If I was a member of his family, I will refuse 2 go 2 d wife's place 4 d white wedding. It brings a very bad name 2 d man's family in Igboland. His wife has hidden his balls n now wears d pants in d house.

The wife herself is Igbo, why is she insisting on what she knows is very wrong? Seems like she has underhand reasons. If his dad is still alive, can he insist on bringing shame 2 his father's name? Yet, he has d guts 2 say his mum is jealous. Na wa 4 some men.

Is it really a jacuzzi or is it a bathtub?

@ Kuntash, lol.

Seems like u av been doing some research.

My husband n I are both signatories 2 each other so we r both contributing 2 d house welfare. But I av noticed dat he pays 4 everything n leaves my own account. When I complained, he said he is doing his work. I don't mind 2 much sha. I am basically in charge of our savings/investments and any contingencies or gifts.

He knows I am not frivolous though he can spend on unnecessary things dats why he does it dat way.

@ JK,

The fact dat we dated for 7 yrs was my choice not his. I am a very ambitious person n wanted 2 achieve something 4 myself b4 I settled down n got married n started having kids. Cos I believe wen u start aving kids ur career shld den take a backseat n ur kids come first.

B4 we even started dating, I was totally sold out 2 him n dat never changed all thru d relationship. I was in first year n he was in final year. He got a job wen I was in 3rd year but I wanted 2 finish school. As I was finishing, he went for his masters abroad. Wen he returned n wanted 2 marry, I told him I had 2 go 4 my own masters. Den I was working n wanted a years experience there b4 I left. So I almost finished b4 we got married. U can see how d 7 years went.

All dese while, his mum has been our bedrock. She is d most wonderful person I know n continued 2 shower us with support n love. It was wen I met her dat I finally accepted 2 marry him (about 1yr after dating). Can't pray enough 4 her.

Pls, all u thread derailers, GO AND START YOUR OWN THREAD. If u really believe dat d car is all dat, don't be scared 2 start ur own thread n let's see how dat will grow. Calling on d moderators 2 clean up dis thread.

We are talking of d man of d house (benz) people are asking 4 equal rights with d woman (BMW). LMAO.

Thanks, that will take some getting used to.

Kai, na me write all this epistle? I no believe.

I can only talk out of my experiences n can't expect people 2 agree or share my sentiments. Pls, no arguments or insults on me o. I av a tender heart. Lol.

Okay, let me try.

I DON'T believe in feminism in d home. Don't beat me up but this is my own view. My husband is d head of d house n no arguments about it. However, in any other setting especially in d workplace, I am more dan any man's equal. People av called me all sorts of names ranging from aggressive 2 dat I won't find a man 2 marry me. Dats dir own business cos I am very happily married n I know I am better dan a lot of guys out dere.

From d first point I set my eyes on my husband, I knew he was d one. He just needed time 4 him 2 see d same thing. I was stuck on him n thus couldn't date any other person. He was my first and my last date.

Even on Nairaland, u can tell. Once u converse with someone, depending on your personal beliefs on what makes up husband/wife material, u will know.

My husband and I courted for 6 almost 7 yrs (my decision not his). However, it depends on people. I will say like 1yr of constant communication n fellowship is ideal.

In a relationship 4 me, dere's no 50-50. He is d head and I am willing to be d neck. Lol.

This one was a tough call 4 me 2 make. My dad brought us up with the notion that we should never ask anyone 4 money neither should we collect. So while in school, I never had an aunt or uncle send me money. However, I used 2 save almost any penny I got. I never bought new clothes except my parents gave me n was never frivolous. I saved up enough 2 buy as many shares as I wanted and different other business investments. When my dad saw my share certificate, he was so shocked dat I had dat kind of money. While I was serving, I got a part time job.
My husband liked d fact dat I was careful with money and dat I didn't accept gifts from people especially guys. Like one dat wanted 2 buy me a camera phone when they just came out. Told him I could afford any of my choice n didn't need his help. He was livid n threw d phone on d ground. However, as d relationship progressed n we knew it was heading 4 marriage, he wanted 2 shoulder more responsibilities by providing 4 me. It was a big struggle but he insisted dat it would make him feel more of a man. It was really tough but I finally accepted. When he was a corper, he used 2 send me 2k out of his 7k allowi. I don't know how he used 2 survive but he did. I would use d money 2 buy a gift 4 him so dat my conscience will not prick me.

My husband does d last part of what u said very well. He actually is a custodian of a large volume of knowledge, thanks 2 being a voracious reader n researcher. He might even turn off the TV if he thinks I am paying more attention 2 it dan 2 wat he is saying!!!

Imagine this situation, I come home n say, darling I just discovered dis n dat. He will immediately counter with yes dats true but not only dat, den I listen 2 about 10mins sermon on dat subject.

I av learnt 2 smile n say stuff like dats so interesting, where do u get time 2 find out all dese things, etc even if I av tuned out 9 minutes ago. It keeps him happy.

If u check the auto section library, u will see where it was discussed in full. U may av to change the brain box via rewire.

A friend once corrected me. She said its not "talkless of" that it is "talk more of".
Can dat be correct?

Will send my kids 2 The International Secondary School Ibadan. They are still churning out winners. Just pray I av enough money 2 afford it.

When we were kids, my dad bought a Benz 200 brand new. That was when I fell in love with benz. It was always so comfortable n reliable. We always used it 2 travel 2 d East n it was so enjoyable.

My husband drives an E Class, bought brand new 2 yrs ago. Since I returned from my masters, I av been d one driving it. As heavy as dat car is, it can so speed. I love it. It responds 2 ur every touch as if its reading ur mind. Its fuel economy is a bit on d high side but its more dan worth it. Since it was bought, it has not gone 2 d mechanic 4 any major fault except 4 servicing.

My problem with the car is dat its 2 technical. My husband has not had d time 2 read d manual so he said I shld. I sleep off once I am on d first page. Thus, I only hear of what it can do as in using Bluetooth 2 connect ur phone, etc but I don't know how 2 do it. Second is dat d parts r so expensive. A danfo broke d back trafficator. When I found out how much it would cost 2 replace, I decided 2 leave it 4 a while.

My husband says he doesn't like d way I flog d car n wants 2 buy me a Tokunbo Camry or new Sonata. I was all 4 it till I drove a friends Camry 2 get a feel of d car. I lost interest in it. It just doesn't behave like my Benz. Dat car is sweet 2 drive. Will always recommend it 2 anyone. Don't know d technical details so can't go into all dat.

The International School Ibadan is still d best.

Youngman, i wish u d very best.

I understand ur mum completely cos it is a shameful thing for it to be said dat the bride dragged the groom to her place to get married. Usually, the grooms people are either late or very poor for them to accede to that request (Not my views oooo).

Have u considered doing a small Church wedding in Aba and den using the traditional wedding in Onicha as the reception? People have done it before. The only thing is dat u should pay d bride price on an earlieer date so dat dere wont be too many things to do on dat day. Dats my suggestion.

Try 2 manage this issue with ur mum, if ur too rigid, she and ur wife might be at loggerheads forever. Apply wisdom.

I like hairy guys and I like watching football as a date. Nothing can beat u n ur guy going 2 Heiniken Place 2 watch Champions League. I met my husband on d basketball court n its been heaven ever since.

Advice 2 females:

It won't hurt 2 develop other interests apart from d usual ones especially if ur significant other likes it.

Also, its very good 2 have an open mind about things n not always stick 2 ur guns whether right or wrong. Its totally unattractive.
