nbright: This will be very hard for a Nigerian girl to do... VERY VERY HARD... Most think it's only money that matters in a relationship, they always expect the guy to take them out to classy restaurants for dates, buy them the trendiest wears, pet them always, finding cash to give them even if he'e broke, etc... Ladies should know that it's also expected of them to contribute in little ways to a relationship... It shouldn't be made to be one sided.

@the bolded part,you should learn the act of moderation by using "some" instead of generalization.I believe you re talking out of experience,you have really been unlucky with the opposite sex.I pray you meet that one person who will change your orientation.

RomanceRe: A Thread for Single Ladies :) by carmelion(op): 2:02pm On Mar 05, 2013
DailyNews: Carm, you really need to understand who I am. I am a total snub when it comes to this. Do you know that I can just develop interest in a very ugly girl with no social or academic class just because she shows real concern over me? Yeah, thats me...and I can snub a very beautiful girl who sits next to me but shows no interest in me...yeah. I have lots of stories that if I narrate it here, most of you would marvel, but I won't so this thread doesn't get derailed. I know Nigerian women love that feeling of one dumb guy chasing them up and down, but thats stupidity to me because once a girl likes u, you don't need to stress it.

My mother told me that she had already said yes to one military captain back then who drives volksagen and land rover then, and according to her, she didn't liked the man because of the fact that he was a military man cos his beloved brother died during the civil war as a military guy, and she developed hatred for military, only for one to come to ask for her hand in marriage.and as it may interest u to know, the parents accepted the man for these reasons:

1. the man came from a very strong Anglican family, the father was a church teacher
2. he is from a neighboring community to my mom's own

my mom had no option than to accept, so they fixed date when the man would come with his people when his work leave starts, and before that period, my dad met my mom, how?

At an Anglican church anniversary, and my mother was a church choir, pretty wink wink...my father and his childhood friend came to that anniversary from a very far community, and guess whathuh they came with a bicycle cheesy cheesy

He saw my mother singing and his heart went fly....he told his friend, they waited and waited till the end of the church programme and even traced my mother to her parent's house and then they went inside and asked for water, and were given water and they finished drinking and left.

My mother saw him and she said she just liked him and wished he could just talk to her, but he didn't he left.

They came back again on another sunday....now, pay for your reader subscription fee cheesy cheesy grin

Now, why did I narrate the story? to tell guys that once a girl likes you, you won't labor to get her and to tell the ladies that its not about money, look beyond now and see the future smiley smiley smiley I know that we live in a fast generation- fast cars, fast money, fast relationship, fast everything, but hey! Slow down and see the future smiley
OK,I get it.I hope the guys got their own part too?

taio luv: @all people who contributed to this thread,tank u all,thumbs up

Today is my birthday and am alone, d' pressure is high,bt i pray to God it wil be wt my husband for my next year bday IJN.

Love you for ur words of inspiration and advise it is shaping me up nicely for my soon very soon husband
Amen hun,happy buffdei!!!!smiley. where the parry@?

missblanche: @carmelion:your sadpost really got me all emotional,there are days i just sink into depression and i have those same thoughts..i thought that i was the only one that thought that way..this days i just channel my energy into doing stuffs and take my mind off the whole depressing thoughts...its crazy..its sad that most nig guys think all the ladies want is just money..not so for some of us..it makes everything hard,very hard..sad
What can I say dearie,I just hope my post also helped?.Never mind,this too shall pass.How long it will take is what I don't know.I read your post about marrying older men.Follow your heart but make proper investigations.

Everything in life comes with its own disadvantages.By virtue of age,you know nature will play its own role.You cant avoid it.It would be wise enough to put some things in place before it happens at least to make it a little bit easier.

Build a fence around yourself because people must talk .I don't know how old you are but I know that there is a particular age I will get to(and i am still single),I wont even ask anybody if it is wrong.I would just do my thing.That age is still very faaaar sha,and I pray to meet him before then.But one thing I cannot do(no matter my age) is to break another woman's home (2nd wife).

I rather go for I.V.F/adopt and have my baby for my self.Whatever your heart tells you to do,I wish you luck.((big hug))

DailyNews: Now you have defined what I call male-stupidity! Chasing a girl who made it known to you that she doesn't care, gosh! Some guys lack integrity and masculine ego. For whathuh Come on, sorry to sound this way @chichi, are you The Queen of Shebahuh for him to be drolling like that? Is he enchanted or bewitchedhuh He should have moved on, if chichi says NO, there are thousand and one more prettier, trendier, more intelligent and more exposed girls than chichi out there waiting to welcome and celebrate him like King Solomon, so why chase a girl who showed no interest in youhuh Now, I see why Nigerian ladies lack respect for the guys, gosh! This has to stop!!! Any guy thats reading this and he does this, pls for the sake of the entire male integrity, stop that useless attitude from NOW!! When one girl turns you down or says NO to you, there are thousands if not millions of better girls out there ready to embrace and celebrate you, majority of Nigerian guys don't know this or maybe they know but are just on a bad mission to hit and run like I hear them call it.

So angry angry angry angry angry angry
No she is not the queen of Sheba,it is called when the wrong one loves you right or when you love the wrong one.Pray you don't find a yourself in such situation.It hurts so much,you will throw caution to the wind

@poster Calm down first.Valentine was just some weeks ago(Feb 14).We just entered March,so that means its not up to a month.

It's hard to feel pregnant in less than 4 weeks.The last time i checked,women miss their period after one month.

May be she is just scared.let her go for a pregnancy test,to be sure she is actually pregnant,while you make sure its your baby.

Less than one month is too short,some tests won't even show anything.Just my opinion.
RomanceRe: A Thread for Single Ladies :) by carmelion(op):
chichi254: Early last yr, i was introduced 2 dis guy whom i hav nevr met physically though hav seen his pix. As we strted communicatin on phone my mind just told me dt i can trust him wit my hrt. That made 2 become very free n open 2 him. I think he is open 2 me as well. But then i found out dat it seems as if i'm d only only dat pushin d relationship. Any small thin he would stop callin until i call. Ealy this yr, sth happend and he stoped callin again. I too decided not 2 call him and 4 d past 2 months we hav not spoken. Infact, sometimes i wonder who i can trust. pls i wish 2 be advised.
^^^Guys are usually guilty of this,they follow you bumper to bumper like their life depends on you. All of a sudden they stop calling,leaving you in the dark,wondering what went wrong.

I know most guys are extremely busy and we women always need attention. Women are busy too,but usually less busy than the men.

So in my previous relationships,I always nag him(out of love sha) that he does not have time. He apologised more 100 times,and somehow I got proves that he was actually very busy.

I got tired of nagging ,so I stopped.winkbefore I loose my man with my babyish behaviour.Meanwhile he really got the message,to the extent that he would still call as late as 11pm just'to mark attendance for the day'cheesy

Chichi,in this case,maybe you pressed the wrong button,by saying something wrong. I would have said he did not like you when he saw you,but you did not mention anything about meeting him physically.

2months of silence is quiet long for me to say he is still interested. All I have to say is "Move on".Its hard,especially if you like him. But I don't like relationships when it is one sided.

Everyone wants to feel wanted.Meanwhile be more careful next time,with your words.goodlucksmiley

FamilyRe: Im Pregnant, What Do I Do? by carmelion(f): 2:45pm On Mar 04, 2013
Dear poster, I want you to first of all rephrase the title of this thread, because that guy was never your boyfriend. I don’t know what to call him, but ‘boyfriend’ is not one of them.

The first thing you need to do now is to let your family know about it, if not this guy will leave you in this country and travel out. I know that right now, confused is an understatement. I also know that you will be scared.

If you are scared of going directly to your mum ,go through any of your aunties or cousins, any female family member that is close to your mum. Be sober and make her realize that you are truly sorry. Of course you know she will be mad at you, which is very normal. Your action is very disgraceful but crucifying you won’t make it right.

After scolding you, they will help you approach your boyfriends family, from there you will know what next to do, but let both families know.
Please don’t abort that baby.please.

RomanceRe: A Thread for Single Ladies :) by carmelion(op): 10:01am On Mar 04, 2013
Hello house, I missed you guys so much. I was away for some time, got so busy that I could not post anything here. Am just so depressed this morning sadI can’t really place my hands on what the problem is .I just hope to get over it soon.


I read through the new posts and all I can say is thanks to all those who contributed, for the new members, you guys a re welcomed too.


There is something I want to share with the single ladies here and to those who would stumble on this thread in the future .I choose to share it because I want to know if am the only one feeling like that .Some body brought up a topic like that here and I discussed it with an older cousin, she warned me seriously not try it.



I know that naturally, I have a bad habit of acting on impulse especially when am at the extreme mood of excitement or anger. I don’t think,I just act. So when am in such mood, I just pray to have someone to stop me. I walk away on things that has disturbed for a long time. I don’t like unnecessary stress because I believe this life is once. Some times this spirit overwhelms me and all I feel is .”To hellllllllllllll with this thing called marriage, I am so done with these people called men.

Why can’t I just live my life? Get more certificates, upgrade myself, work hard, make money , adopt kids in my fathers name?( hmmm…let this man catch me first) and remain single!!!. Sex ?. Whatever happened to dildos in the stores?. I mean is it not better than the brain injury someone goes through all because you are in love with someone whom you re not even sure of his own love?. May be I was just thinking my age,

Moments like this, I look for someone (preferably an older person) to talk to before I loose it. I am a very quiet person so I bottle things up a lot, which is not so good. I spoke to my cousin and she talked to me. She told me that money can buy me all those things I mentioned but it can’t buy me COMPANIONSHIP from the opposite sex.

The early stages of marriage are always rocky, but later in life, you will discover that your spouse is now your best friend. What happens when the adopted kids are all grown up and are now in school?or who will you even tell them is their father? intimacy gadgets would give you sexual pleasure but the diff is clear. She also told me that I would never have inner peace, because younger men would always come to you because they feel they are doing you a favor.


It is true, that not every woman would get married but let it not be your decision, because in the future, you will end up regretting it. Don’t know if am the only one feeling like this .but just incase you re in this lane too, I guess this would be helpful. I pray not think like that anymore but God knows I can’t survive any emotional pain again. Don’t mind the things I say to people here,I am human too. I am soooo scared of giving someone my heart right now. I just wish every body would let me be. I mean with all these wedding invitation coming up this Easter, and questions like ”hope you are calling us soon?” goosh !, I feel like traveling so far awaaaaayyy!

RomanceRe: Girl Insists Wedding Must Be In Her Church by carmelion(f):
Talking about white wedding,I want to tell you guys that it is just a fun fair.Though I would still want to wear my Cinderella gown but couples should stop making trivial issues come in between them.Yes i said that.

When a man performs all the traditional rites,he is your rightful husband.He has already pulled his people to your side during the trad,whats the big deal in pulling your own people to his church.or wont you follow him to his church after marriage?.

Personally for me,I would want to wed in my husband's church.When you accept to marry someone,you should accept everything about them.

biolabee: this defintion of rich in my opinion extends to politicians, government contractors and middle aged guys not always the young dudes
So are these kind of guys available to single ladies except divorcees or baby daddys

I suggested polygamy to know what this forum thought since economic empowerment is not really an issue for you guys
So all those olden days of jealousy and in fighting over property is a non-issue

So will empowered young women consider this
Hmmm....From this your post I can only understand two things

1)Why are ladies after money
2)The economic situation is not favourable too the guys
3)The ladies should now agree to share their men.so that nobody would be left "outside"

Now let me ask you?Is it that you re a married man so,you know what you will gain if women agree to this.--->extra kitties right?But then,you guys don't need us to agree na before you do your thing.I mean some married men stiil cheat.

Now if you are a single guy,what will you gain,if we agree,I mean you stil need more money to run a polygamous home,you know.

Please I need answers because you not the only one that has brought this issue up here.

Ijebulogic: Seriouslyhuh Are you trying to whitewash the fact that this man conned his first customer and is smug and proud of it? I wonder why you feel i should be ashamed of myself for speaking the truth? I have no ill feelings towards the man o!! he wont be the first or the last business man to build an empire from defrauding customers...my real concern is with all the young men and women posting on how "inspired" they are by this man. Lets just call a spade a spade and stop trying to defend the indefensible.
i know we cant see things from the same angle,but i don't think i would call this fraud.the young man only took advantage of an opportunity (which only comes but once).I am sure he has been thinking about starting his business longtime ago,but capital was only his only obstacle.

Was it because the man was his fathers friend not a random customer that came to the market?Was it because he didn't rent a shop to display the laptop?

Defraud?As in the laptop is not working or what?Did you read anywhere that the laptop became faulty and the buyers returned it?.Talking about price ,the only true price of a commodity is the value price from the manufacturers ie after calculating there expenditure.Every other price is profit/ artificial

So everybody is a fraudster right?

Bro please,you might want to rephrase that your statement.

On repeat,he inspired me!

A person worthy of marriage wants you to be
assured of your worth, and his/her love and respect
for you. They communicate things like: "You are a
blessing to me, you make my life better, I am
grateful for you, you are special to me, etc.

Never settle for a partner whose idea of love is to
constantly put you down, or to regularly demean
you.
