I happened to be in a relationship and for the first time i asked my girl to come meet my parents since we started getting serious and next year i have plans to get married to her. she met my parents three weeks ago and stayed in our family house for about a week before going back. Since then my Dad calls her like every day just to check up on her. This is beginning to get me worried as it is unusual of my Dad. FYI my Dad is a clergy man and very disciplined hence i know nothing is wrong negatively. But my concern is that the man is taking the relationship more serious than even me in the relationship. Am concerned and my girl is so excited about it. I had plans to talk to my dad but don't know if it is right. I feel my dad is making this girl feel supercool and am not comfortable with that. Please i need candid advice!!!

Ur dad dont want a repeat of wat happened in 1875

BY PHILIP OJO

If you are one of those who see sand as just one of the most ordinary things in this part of the world, then a visit to any ‘sand market’, especially in Lagos, will disabuse you of your no­tion. You will only need to behold the buzz and beehive of transactions going on in a sand market to understand hid­den treasure in the business. Those who are engaged in it are surely smiling to the bank with good returns. Feyijimi Omoniyi, a graduate of Mathematics from the Lagos State University, is one of them.When he started, Feyijimi didn’t think or feel that sand business was what he was going to do for long. He thought it was a stop-gap – until he secures a good paying job. After all, he is a university graduate. But he got enmeshed in it, when for years, he couldn’t secure a white-collar. Not only that, he was making good money from the enterprise. So, he settled down to it and this saved him from the pangs of poverty and deprivation. Today, he is forever thankful that he took to trading in sand.When he started, according to him, he had just one boat. Five years down the down the line, Feyijimi has multiplied it to three, valued at N500,000 each. His sup­plies range from filling-sand, sharp sand, laterite to plastery sand.According to him: “When I came back from youth service in 2009, I actually searched for a job, but the ones I was able to get downgraded my qualification. So, I started considering going into sand busi­ness. Dealing in sand has been something that I have been using to sustain myself when I was in school. While in school, I was more or less a labourer. So, I decided that since I have rounded off my education and have become more enlightened than before, going into the business full-time is what I must do and then package the ven­ture well,” he recounts.He explained that the business is so prof­itable that one is tempted to be extravagant. This, he said, is essentially caused by the high level of illiteracy among many sand dealers. “Sand business, I can say, is profit­able and it is also sensitive. Sensitive in the sense that if you are not careful with the way you spend, you are going to run bank­rupt. It is a lucrative business and the profit is very high. I believe that is why most of the people in the business can spend mon­ey recklessly.”He hint that, for anybody to stake a claim in the business, it is important to un­derstand the various textures of sand and where to source them. Second, one also needs to have the idea of how to manage a venture.He also advised that a personal convic­tion is needed. “If you have the personal belief that you can do it and succeed, then thereis no problem. All you need istime to learn the trade, get the experience and orientation, then start up andstart making money.”One of the major factors that fuel the boom of this business is the high activities in the construction sub-sector of the econ­omy. In various states of the federation, lo­cal and international construction compa­nies are seen tucked in various sites with their heavy machinery executing stipulated master plans. Little wonder sand markets around many major cities could easily be mistaken for construction sites.Delivery of the tons of sand to customers could be a major hurdle for a sand busi­ness owner. According to Feyijimi, say, the prices of sand types per tipper-load vary due to their quality. Also,the distance or location, coupled with whether a customer is purchasing double loaded-truck or single tipper and whether thetruck is the long or short type, will further determine the price. Many operators advise that having a truck is needful, but Feyijimi was quick to add that not having a truck should not deter anyone that wants to do the business.“Trucks are never a problem at all,” he said. “Even if you don’t have trucks, you can survive in the business and still make good profit. I don’t have a truck, but I sup­ply to people a lot and I get my goods de­livered on time. The way I go about it is that, Ido business with several truck-driv­ers. If I call one and he does not come, I will call another. We have fixed prices for every destination, so if anybody calls me to supply sand, all I need do is call a truck driver to come take the sand and supply it to the client. All you have to do is to pay the driver and you pocket the balance.” Feyijimi believes that this method is bet­ter than contracting just one transportation firm.He said one can start sand business on a small scale with room for expansion, justas he wants youths to learn from his ex­perience of how he deployed his academic enlightenment in his venture.He equally advised: “One needs to be accommodating as a businessman, to ac­quire the knowledge of negotiation and to know howto associate with your custom­ers. When I started this business, I had no customers at all, because when you are new in any line of business, everything would seem strange to you. But with these three key ingredients, things began to turn around for me. Another fourth piece of advice I will give is that they should get their business properly branded. I say this because branding helps your business to stand out from the rest.”

@iamayodeji... Ur words "The best kind of man for a woman is an introvert.". I concur.

Characteristics of an introverted man (pls note, the list here is not all encompassing)

Forbearing: this came first because they understand pain and struggles than any other personality type. Since they can reinvent pain and feel actual pain with such control.

Patience: to them, time is just in the mind. All that matters is happiness, and since happiness is in no way dependent on time, their mantra is usually "live and lets live, but ofcourse with happiness". Most suicidal act occured in the introvert group and it has been traced to lack of happiness. They live for happiness, so most are patient enough to see that come true.

Inventors: this is not limited to creating physical things only but other things that relate to the mind and soul.. Their date night and setting is out of this world.. Their sex... *clears throat let me stop here for now.

Wat about dia sex. Talk am make we hear.

dheolexaone:
[b][/b]life's best practical lessons r learnt through pain which z d only way for ur husband to learn from.

the fact that u r chatting wt him will only increase ur level of curiosity n expectations on him day by day.

Jettison all ur pranks n fast n pray. Live a good life n live as if ur husband does not even exist. EMI LAYE MI.

Be hopeful n don't beg nor expect S*X from him. Live well n Better like never before. The fucking motherfucker idiot will gain his senses n know that there is no such thing like a happy family.

Some men ought to av gone into extinction like their ancestors #DINOSAURS

U remind me of Dino melaya. Talking b4 reasoning. I blv u neva had d time to go tru ur txt b4 u posted it. Cus if u did,
1. U would av corrected ursef knowing fully well dat the man had made a mistake and needed to be corrected.
2. If all men should go into extinction lik u purported u wouldn't be here typing all these.
3. Take a bottle of orijin, relax ursef cus I can see u acted under stress. Then type again.

Captainswag225:
her husband only started using password after she started chatting with him and revealing her nude pics to him on facebook so its jux her.

Am tinking otherwise. Dat he started passwording his phone after the nude pix doesn't make her the only gf, rather she might be d only one to have sent explicit content to have warranted the passwording of the phone eventually. Unless ur telling us ur d wife or ur hacking into his phone to be damn sure shez the only one.

Madam Obi trying desperately to be relevant, hope Pmb compensate you with ministerial position for all your trouble!

Lik they did to her compatriots principal of chibok secondary school in born wit a commissioner position.

God is watching them on 3D

raayah:
What do you know?

Edit : looking through this threads just depicts how low the intelligence rate on nairaland is.

There is no thoughtful reply to madam oby's message. A message that is simple and straightforward. It is full of insults and personal attacks on madam oby.

Madam simply stated that some revenue from oil are directed to the cbn, then converted to naira, before being spent. The remaining are put in ECA as savings.

Is it really hard to understand this??

The only tin there to understand is dat it was dis same Twitter account dat championed the bring back our gals syndrome dat most of us fell for. They made it look so real it was hard not to blv. Many pipol voted Buhari on dat same incident.
Right now I take whatever she says wit a pinch of salt.
Broda, let the accused respond b4 we start believing any oda tin.

Captainswag225:
lol, dont break o.p's heart, ofcourse she is his only g.f on social media.....

From d story line he now password his phone. So how do u knw She is his only gf.

Jaftee:
You are the problem, can't you see?
He is in love with the same person, u said it yourself that you act now the way you did then and that makes him fell in love with you. He is bound to fail your test, stop changing his mode to flirting mode, stop that rubbish and make him fall in love with you again.
Once flirting mode is activated... Hahaha... You know the rest.

Making more sense bro

seunmsg:
Saraki's arrogance will end up consuming him in the end. You can't take on your party leadership in a duel on every issue and think you will always win. You can never survive as senate president for four years when almost half of the senate members are against you and your party leadership is also against you. It is just a matter of time before they will get him. He should go and learn leadership strategies from David Mark.

Whr u and all APC members are getting it wrong is by living under d illusion dat Saraki is APC. The moment u realise he is PDP under APC disguise then every other tin will be added unto u.

Please any info on how to obtain agric loan from bank of industry.

Real concerns of a typical introvert.. Good u dropped a comment. I employ u to also ask question so we can all learn. And also be on standby to answer concerns here.

Tanx a bunch. Here is lik a home to me now.

iamayodeji:
There is a woman out there that will understand you. in fact, I can tell you categorically that your woman will enjoy you so much. The best kind of man for a woman is an introvert.
In my own personal experience, my relationships were not so easy especially when am with very extroverted women but trust me, some people will still love you for who you are. Like you said, people who take their time to study you will appreciate the beauty in quietness. I encourage you to download the book mentioned in previous posts.

Well said man. Wats d name of d book again.

Kizmarty:
because she simply want to be left alone...that's enough reason, I think

Well said man.

omoadeleye:
people don't mingle with a boring people, you will just be dulling spirit.

Who are the pipol? If u find wat u like don't generalize it

Nice to be here, been following and I wish to register my comments as well. Lik wat av been reading, I have similar treats to sum of d comments av seen here. Lik starting a conversation and not being able to continue. But I notice sumtin wit dat. If am comfortable talking to u I could actually talk for a long time.
More so I notice am more free wen chating dan talking to u face to face. Dats why I devote most of my time on social platforms and pipol who share my views and I theirs. Staying indoors is lik a hubby, and I don't enjoy it wen u try to talk me out it.
Then each day I kip asking asking God whc type of woman will I marry dat won't misunderstand me. I bet God has a better ansa to dat.
