maclatunji: 1. Do you agree that you are the head/leader of your home?

2. Do you accept that you are primarily responsible for financing the provision of the basic needs (food, clothing & shelter)of your wife/kids?

3. Do you accept that you have a duty to do everything in your power to ensure the general well-being of your wife/kids?

4. How would you want your wife to react if you answered in the affirmative to questions 1-3 but find that you cannot meet-up with these obligations after genuinely putting-in your best effort?

5. Do you find it easy to acknowledge when you are wrong or have done wrong? How do you apologise?

Baby mama: And because of the nature of the anatomy and the activity, it is easier for a female to get it from a male infected partner than a man from an infected female.Ladies be wise.Life has no duplicate.

ileobatojo: Imagine hiding behind you trying to fan the flames of fight that has finished o. Me and you that are best buds on top A whole baba biology like you. Dem know you?


*I'm not gyn but you're very warm*

ileobatojo: I completely agree with you that such marriages won't be beans. The same issues will arise even if the marriage is ordained by God. I definitely won't advice a stinking rich woman to marry a dirt poor guy. Certain variations in the middle might be better though.


*By the way, I hope that passive aggressive coward upthread will have the balls to spew the rubbish directly at the person intended next time.*

bookface: If the dude carries a British passport that makes him a British citizen, No? ...If he's a British citizen, then he's British, No?

ileobatojo: Dig baby, dig! Keep sinking lower and lower! You'll soon reach uncharted depths. Forbes only? Guinness book of records awaits! Keep going baby!! Rooting for you!

ileobatojo: Oh boy! There is no depth you are not willing to sink to, is there? What does it mean to get rich by inheriting your father's millions? What do connections mean in acquiring wealth?

You know what, I won't let your airheadedness pigheadedness be a hindrance to my prayers. I'm trying to repent in this family section abeg.

I agree with you completely, hardwork is the only legitimate way to get wealth. Poor people are lazy and they are only poor because they don't work hard. All poor people are lazy, all lazy people are poor. All hardworking people are rich. All rich people are hardworking. Sh' obatan? You're right, I'm wrong, my IQ is in the negative digits. My attention span is appalling, I lack wisdom, have no sense of decorum while waiting in line to see my creator, I make love to Congolese midgets...Did I miss anything.. Will you have a good night now?

FBS: How much FBS makes is highly irrelevant because anyone including you will agree that 50 milla is no small money by any standard.
So if Torres is playing like a 1 milla pound player (and atimes even worse) it is because he himself is baffled as to why RA paid that much for him. I will like to know the guy who sold an out of date solar battery (FT) to Pyrios (RA).
Even Benitez can't do nada with FT's form now. Do you see how he is when on the ball?

ileobatojo: Dodo, how does the fact that you said handwork is the only legitimate way to get rich change the fact that I showed you that inheritance and connections are legitimate ways to get rich thereby proving that statement of yours to be absolutely, ridiculously false?!
If I had mentioned fraud and scamming et al, then you would have a small point, but I only mentioned legitimate alternatives to your mindless, simplistic stand! Stop making a nuisance of yourself.

My point is stop trying to flip flop, stop moving the goal post. Own your simplicity! It's all your's, own it!

Nashville: You are too beneath me to justify an insult! If this guy had a passport, it is probably British.

He has been in the UK since he was three and he is a product of the British system. He does not have any contacts with his family and the only thing Nigerian about him is his name! He is their own. A good percentage of British athletes had Nigerian names but they play for UK. Success they say has many relations but failure is an orphan. They should live with their own!

ileobatojo: I wasn't planning to respond to you anymore but I won't let you get away with lies and ridiculous attempts to tarnish my pure image !!!
Here you go.
On to your next query:

Who said these? Me?
Now you did modify it here and add legitimate (back to your flip-flopping ways, but never mind that). So I will give you that.

Yes, I could have said the "only and legitimate" way in my last post. It still does not change the rest of my post one bit, since I only showed you other legitimate ways of getting rich besides hard work.... Just admit you've been owned

My congolese midget will take on your shriveled pea sized attention span any day!!

Nashville: You people should understand that the guy IS NOT NIGERIAN! He only has a Nigerian name! He has been in London since he was 3 years old and has nothing Nigerian in him. It's like saying Obama is great because he is Kenyan. Obama is only Kenyan by name, same with this guy.

The British are good at disclaiming people when they turn out bad. If the guy had turned out to be a great athlete, they will never mention he came from Nigeria. When Phillips Idowu and others were winning medals for Great Britain they did not say they were Nigerian. Useless people. This guy is British

ileobatojo: And the flip flopping begins. Subtly trying to change your position. This is why arguing with you can be tedious. There is nothing you won't default to in order to keep the argument going even after it's clear to all that you were wrong in your assertion.

You said the only way to get rich was to work hard and asked me to prove otherwise. I have showed you that's not the only way (which you don't need an IQ of up to 60 to figure out, by the way) and you keep yapping non stop.

Umm, you?? Have you lost your train of thought? You said, all things being equal, a hard working poor man will become rich as long as he makes a decent income among other things. Now you are claiming you weren't talking about a poor man? You're out of control!

Anyway, I can see that we will be here all day if this continues. I wouldn't have minded though if it wasn't getting boring, but it is. Peace out.

dayokanu: Mata tops the league in assist So what personal issues are we talking about? Was he assisting himself?

FBS: For 50 milla, I will mop all the streets of London and Lagos and naked too. For 50 milla Fernando should be working HARDER than every other player on the pitch. And should be performing his primary functions and very well too. In this he has failed so far. Folks will argue that it is because he has the wrong tool.
The bigger question though is, when other attackers were performing where was Torres?

Honestly, I think it is an insult to CFC folks to even discuss this guy again. It's a non-issue.

coded guy: @ coogar
You can admit that mata could lose form and not perform as he is supposed to, that is, supply balls to torres right at his feet but would not want to admit that Torres himself has also lost his own blistering form as you so succinctly put it when describing Mata form.

Even when Torres is with the ball he seems clumsy like clusty the clown, he probably needs to rest and do some soul searching to rediscovver his form again. Playing him day in day out will only increase the pressure on the guy. It is now believed that Torres gets games because of RA. Simples. Most other coaches would have dumped him like hot iron regrdless of his price tag.

Note: Am not hEaping the dismal play of the team on Torres, just that, he is not helping himself and blaming everyone except torres just does not cut it. Team should not be playing for one person, last time a checked, football was a team sports. Everybody should work for every body.

pro01: My brother, this is an unfortunate point of view for so many reasons. I did not have the patience to read beyond your post, because I think your post epitomises the flawed mindset that warranted this thread. Your opinion is based on too many wrong assumptions; remember that the thread is about 'class' and class divisions, not about values, education, et al.

1. You assume that class has much to do with "labouring hard", and that your class determines how 'good' your wife is and how beautiful your daughters are.

2. You assume that people that are not rich (or that are not in your 'class') cannot have good family values and cannot have excellent upbringing.

3. Most importantly, you not only assume, but you CONCLUDE that people in lower classes are necessarily "dirty-looking and unkempt". In other words, if YOU turn up at Dangote's door and ask's for his daughter's hand in marriage, you would be regarded as "dirty-looking and unkempt", simply because you're not worth up to 1% of his $billions - regardless of how 'clean' you are, or how hardworking you are. This i s exactly the point you're making.

Reminds me of some courtesans I've known; when you ask them why they like dancing shamlessly around wealthy men, they retort "do you expect me to date riff-raffs"! In their opinion, it is either you are wealthy, or you are a riff-raff. No middle-class, no in-betweens. Nothing! I am then forced to remind them that, by their own definition, they themselves are riff-riffs - since they are not wealthy, and nowhere near the class of men they sell themselves to.

In any case, 'rich' is a relative concept. As such, based on your orientation, people that are far richer than you would assume that you are a riff-raff - irrespective of your behaviour, looks, values, education, or anything else.

Truly unfortunate mindset, I tell you.

ileobatojo: What hard work would you say a child who inherits his family's wealth did? The hard work of sleeping and waking up every morning till his parents died?

How about those who obtain wealth on the strength of their family connections? What hard work did they do that is more than the laborer working from sunrise to sunset 24/7 to feed his family?

How does a poor man make a 'decent income'?

All i know is that any single lady who wants to know the inner working of a man, especially a badt Maija man berra start following Coogar's posts, because you are one of the few peeps on this forum who keeps it real. Keep it up bredrin

Anvaller: Oh no coogar. Are u kidding me? So when a person is poor, u see them as dirty and unkempt... hmmm.. I see... but hey the poster wasn't asking about rich men allowing their children to marry junkies cos the picture u have in ur mind is that of a junky. He said "poor people".

Let me help u here, the child of a common civil servant for example in Nigeria of today is absolutely "poor" if he is hoping to marry the child of a multi-millionaire. But in such scenario, u can not say such person is dirty and unkempt, there is just a wide gap in financial status and that's all, look I am sorry but I sense arrogance in ur reasoning.

dahonestboss: coogar
from this your comment, I guess your accept the fact that we are all equals as human, but the only differences is our financial status. but you lay more concentration on economic status, what if the suitor is still studying, or just a middle class comfortable person?

and what if the suitor as well is a criminal, or a rich Nigerian pastors with private jets all over, I guess the requirement in marrying your daughter is simple. be rich. pls correct me if I am wrong

But you still fail to answer my question. here it is again.
what if your daughter insist on marrying somebody that you think does not meet your ''class'' what would you do? taking into consideration her right to choose.

pweeryambre: @cooger
So any poor man dat comes for ur daughter must ride in okada? Is dat ur yard stick of measuring btw rich and the poor,? And wat happens wen he comes with his car?( As I know a lot of poor poeple dat drives cheap cars)..

And by comportment I mean his generall manarisms and conversations not limited to table manners,

Meanwhile I never thot its a bad idea to want ur daughter to marry into a wealthy family, just dat if u only use physical and trivial things to judge between d rich and poor then u r lost. As I know a lot of rich people dat chose a very simple life style dat u can never know dia worth untill u get very close.

dayokanu: Sometime last Spring

FBS: how many players on the pitch cost 50 milla?

dayokanu: Bender, Kehl and Gundogan turned Yaya and everyone in City to PS3 running them all over

dahonestboss: coogar
can you please specify in ''particular'' what makes human different from each other?

Its like you are raising your daughter strictly for the benefits you will get from their suitors, and its like you are forgetting something here, what if your daughter insist on marrying somebody that you think does not meet your ''class'' what would you do? taking into consideration her right to choose.

ileobatojo: I'm talking about the fact that your last post completely ignored what we were discussing just prior to it.

Ah! Slowly but surely, you are getting there. What are these 'all things' that have to be equal?

Once again, this is false.

What would a Coogar post be without the usual inflammatory , vitriolic portions. Nothing do you!

Airpure: Young "Girl" I will treat u d way i treated the last classless person on NL with social and communication deficiencies that thinks the only way to communicate is by being abusive. Really sad.

Consider urself ignored till ur learn some social n communication skills cos not everyone has to tolerate the result of bad upbringing n messed up mind.

ileobatojo: Yeah, I'm good with just completely ignoring those previous statements like they never happened.

Well according to your previous posts (which we are now ignoring, by the way ) , as long as he works harder like all the rich people before him have done, it will be guaranteed that he would be rich tomorrow.

Anyway, my nitpicking aside, I agree that it will be extremely hard for a very rich person to marry a very poor person especially if it's the female that is rich, but who are we to decide if a woman wants to 'keep her man'. There are many possible middle grounds to this issue.

OMO IBO: coogar, you do realise this is it for Torres.
He's got Benitez now.

surely, he must deliver now.

dahonestboss: coogar
do you believe that everyone is equal? regardless of economic status?

Yusfull: Name your prize man....

pweeryambre: Since when does being poor means one have to wear tattered clothes, most of d time a suitor coming for ur daughter knows abt d family status and as such wil dress well and comport himself wen visiting..

And u will never know his poor unless u had a background check on him or ask direct questions before u find out. Meanwhile in class of poor, there are still sub classes which include: average poor, painfully poor, destitutes. Etc.

Ibime: Torreswatch is scrapped. We're starting new watch - #TorreswatchunderRafa

0 good games in 1.

ileobatojo: I'm sorry, what's the main difference? So all poor people will be automatically be rich once they try harder? All people who are rich worked hard to get rich?

Yusfull: I'm rich already bro.... How old is your daughter then maybe we can work out somfin....

dahonestboss: being poor or looking unkempt doesn't mean a person status will remain like that forever, most times its never the fault of the person, at least in Nigeria. but I think the best to do is to sit the man and evaluate him, to see if he has potentials and/or if he is right for your daughter. marrying a rich man does not guarantee happiness or stability in richness, and if you are after your daughter happiness, then you would sort it out regardless of the person's economic status

ileobatojo: Wait, please can you fully commit to the statement that poor people are only poor because they don't work hard and rich people are only rich because they do? I want to make sure we are clear that's what you are saying so that when I fully debunk it, you will gladly accept the embarrassment. I don't want any flip-flopping on your position after your bs has been exposed.
