peeps, im in london for 2 weeks (se18) but its kind of boring as i dont like doing things alone and my friend that i stay with hardly has time. looking for good company, please reply or send an email to babafree25@yahoo.co.uk

thanks.

i intend to be a video producer, as i have a lot of concepts i'll love to try out, i have a little experience in stage production however the problem is that i think i'll need a basic understanding of video production (too many terminologies, hv, hdv, pal, lightening, extreme close up, e.t.c).

im gonna take it up as a part time hobby next yr as i have a full time job in d IT industry but i wouldnt mind to cross over to the tv/movie industry,

summary is that i want to learn the basics of video production, so that i can start producing cool music videos for my friends, and grow from there.

I'm a Computer graphic artist and im interested in learning video production. please are there any schools i can take a video production course (Part Time),

thanks a lot, the thing is that i just relocated to lagos so i dont have a full time church , but i've attended HOTR, Daystar ,e.t.c but not made up my mind yet.

d ymca is cool cos its not far from surulere where i live, and i iwish penuel ministry had a website i could check

nice team, but i prefer Peter Rufai (1994 model) in the goal post, and taribo west (96 model) as a center back,

I'm a working class guy in my early 20's , i need to join a christain youth group in Lagos. Can anyone recommend any?

Please, does any one know of any company that needs an Intranet or is not satisfied with their current intranet, ? I would be glad to get the contacts.

y did our parents have to take us to nursery skuul, and allow the teachers flog us every day, im sure when we were much younger we questiond plenty of our parents actions, but now, we understand that its for our own good,

im sayin this because of those of u that think God is unfair, u need to realize that he knws whats best for you, and he's got a plan, even if things dont go the way u want it.

and for the atheists (reverend, siena, infedel ,e .t.c) if u take a critical look at it, we christains are not fools, worst case scenerio, if you're right and we're wrong, we've nothin to loose, but if we're right and u're wrong, u burn in hell, and im not sayin this to convert u guys, cos im sure God has a way of touching hearts like yours, and in the nearest future, he'll use u guys for his glory.

i need the service too,

i knw someone that has a working solution but im not sure if i can put his adress on this forum, is there a way i could contact you ?

the poster got that topic 4rm ma mind,

i think the nigerian market is emerging, and sooner or later we'll get there,

the most common business model adopted by web 2.0 start ups is "Online Advertising" and unfortunately, nigerians would rather advertise in the dailies, or TV than advertise online, hence its difficult to convince venture capitalists,

i think an easy way out is to start small and get somethin people like , when people start using it, i dont thinkventure capital funding shld be a problem, at least nairaland shldnt have problems wit venture capital funding

but all the same, i think we need more dotcom venture capitalists in nigeria

Wolof:
I work in branding and am willing to offer budget branding/advertsing services.

Wolof

i might be interested in ur budget branding/advertising services

very nice post, but i think its a matter of perspective, lets use nysc as an example, assuming we're all payed 8500naira (so we're not all rich :#), but someone serving in a village skuul in kebbi (with free food, free accormodation, e.t.c) would be very comfortable, but someone serving in lagos workin in VI and living in abuleegba will NEVER be comfortable,

my point is that, riches are not the only things that make u comfortable, the family u come from, where u work, ur environment and all , are factors that collectively affect ur "comfortability", so if u have everything working together for ur good, u dont need to be rich to be comfortable,

what a very nice topic, but the truth, like most pple have mentioned is that if a bunch of the capital comes 4rm someone else ur not all that much better dan someone workin for a job, cos u owe a lot of allegiance to that person,

also it depends on ur industry,

its easier for lawyers or ITpple to be self employed than doctors. or Aerospace engineers , so ur industry determines a lot too,

you can work for ur friend while u look for a better job in lagos ,

i really wont mind a shared office space too, i'll be glad if anyone has one to offer

benit:
Your post sounds childish to me. Please help her out of this predicament she is presently in. Call it off today!Now! She deserves a matured/better person. What has she been thinking of?

_{abuse number 1, suprised its coming this late,}

funny how things can easily be tied to maturity,

Mandora:
If u still think her good qualities outweigh her bad qualities there's no reason not 2 continue. Dont make anyone make u think u can't make a good relationship because she's older than u because u sound as if u've been listening 2 people's comments. Just remember that both of u n only you to make d relationship n no one else no matter how well intentioned this person may be.

the reason i'm tryin to listen to a different views is because, sometimes when u are in love wit someone, u might not be able to judge rationaly, so 3rd party views could be eye openers, , but i think i get ur point

Aproko:
@ camden,

really, you should be prepared for the fact that after a while when you get married, she would remember she is actually older and stop being submissive. it always happens, so be prepared for that possibility.

how does one prepare for that ??
emotionally or what??

[quote author=cute-ass link=topic=65466.msg1288016#msg1288016 date=1184340432]Sweetheart, if her weight isnt a problem for you, then her age isnt that much a big deal.

But hey, at the end of the day, ts your decision to make. Consider our views and opinions, but do not do whatever you finally decide to do because we say/id so, when the time of troubles come, we won't be there. And you would rather regret your personal mistakes than our decisions!!


Now here's my view and opinion;

Stop listening to what friends think, if you find her attractive and all that, then you're good to go. Tell me somethng, what happens when a next person comes along, and they don't think she's good enough either?? You can't go about living your life based on other people's dictations, what might be good for your friends, might not be good for you . . and in such situation is where you stand up for yourself as a man, and make them reaise, that being friends don't necesarily mean same insight to life.

As for the age thingy, no, not everybody changes with time . . you've known this girl for like so long, if there were chances of her intentionally and deliberately changing for the worse, you'da seen it by now.
But just for the records, so you know, even a younger girl could turn all bossy and silly with time, while an older one could be the most devoted, humble person you'd ever meet, its a vice versa thing pal . . i mean it all goes down to what the individual is made of.

A thread was created some while back by a Nairaland user who was pissed at his female cousin for showing so muh respect and obedience to her man regardless of the fact that his cousin was older than the guy, you see, that could be your case too . . younger does not equals to "good wife material", compartibilty on the other hand does Now if you have that with her, please do not throw it away, but if you gat some doubt within you, the thats n entirely different story altogether!![/quote]thanks

I don't think Nkechi did anything wrong, and Seun, you have to learn to help people without getting a thank you. Hope that helps.

please is her site up now ?

how many of you that are blaming him for not bein able to cope with the long distance relationship have actually been trough it urselves,

4rm what i see, u need someone u can hang out wit, watch movies together, and all that, and the distance is not makin all that happen abi ?, ,

thanks for all the comments, i must confess, im getting nearer to the solution,

crazykid:
It can work provided that both of you are in love.

i agree with you, and yes, we're in love,

davidylan:
Youu may damage her self esteem more than you know. Maybe you should have considered the pros and cons before deciding to go this far with her. I'm wont to wonder what you were doing for 2 years!!

i will not just damage her self esteem, she might commit suicide, and yes, i considered the pro's an cons, then, it was worth it, the reason im raising the issue now is because, a few pple talked to me about it, and they made me feel i was making the wrong move and in the process got me confused, so i need to get a wide barrage of opinions,

liftedme:
tell me, have you asked her to marry you?

Not yet, but with the way things are goin, we shld get there soon,



[quote author=cute-ass link=topic=65466.msg1282114#msg1282114 date=1184187786]. You don't go into a marriage wondering if you can cope with the person's bads or not, you got to be certain . . and like the rest before me already pointed, i don't think the age is a/the problem, its just the cherry that topped the cake!!![/quote], [quote author=j-girl link=topic=65466.msg1282336#msg1282336 date=1184195942]1. She's 2 years older - That is not a valid reason. You need to re-evaluate your position on this. You can't use it to break up with her because of your knowledge before dating her

2. She's very fat? - Is that making her repelling? Or are you just looking for reasons to break up with her? Have you found someone else?

It seems you're just confused.[/quote][quote author=blue-sky link=topic=65466.msg1282306#msg1282306 date=1184194409]Why would the age be a problem now, u did know that she was older than u. Unless u feel embarressed about her being older, but 2 years is really nothing.

Now if your really having doubts about the relationship, and feel that she's not the one for u, i think u should end it now. Becoz the longer u leave it, the harder it gets. You might end up trapped in an unwanted marriage.[/quote]those ones got me thinking, ,

the fatness issue is the icing on the cake, she's got a beautiful face and she's attractive, fatness is just an issue because im slim and tall, i think i can live with that (expecially as i get older)

but the age issue gives me concern, unfortunately most of u have knocked it off, but my concerns are

1. my parents might have issues with it (my mum knws her but she's not talking yet,)

2. she might realize wit time that she cant keep bein submissive to someone younger than her, and starts forming boss all (rite now, she's so submissive that i think she's just doin it to please me), what if we get married and things begin to change

can i ask if anyone has seen any marriage that is a victim of the age wahala ??/


once again, im grateful for all ur comments,

davidylan:
If her weight is bothering you now it wont go away no matter how loudly you both claim to love each other. it will only get worse with marriage. Call it quits now. better now than later.

davidlan, wont i sound very stupid to tell her that im breakin up because she's too fat for me ?

i've read a lot of "she's older than me" threads on nairaland and im still in a dilemma, i've been goin out with this girl for 2yrs now, and she's 2yrs older than me , (im 23 , she's 25), at first i thot it wont matter, because i really like her company and she's always there for me, , but now, things are gettin more tense, because sooner or later we'll be talkin of marriage (she will be finishing NYSC in august, and i finished in february) , her family knws me , and my family members knw her too, so i feel its too late to call it quit because of age (they will say didnt i knw that before?) , but still, im having a second thot that we shld break up, before its too late, and i shld get someone that is younger, but im really confused,
like i said, she's a good partner, i love her company , i love her, the only 2 issues i have with her is that
1. she's 2yrs older than me

2. she's very fat

don't ask what i was thinkin before we started dating, because i thot, her good properties overshadows the bad ones,

please i need your opinion, _{feel free to abuse me}
