Family › Re: Should I Have Collected The Bread From Her Mother? by Countersam(m): 4:16pm On Nov 20, 2023
PuZZyNegro:
I traveled from Lagos to Port Harcourt to see my future in laws family. My girl wasn't around as she's still in Lagos schooling.

I went there with a family member and got them some items like shortcake biscuits and juice.

They offered us food and we ate. After the meeting and normal questioning, we were set to go when surprisingly, this people brought out two loaves of bread and gave us. I told them that the food we ate was enough, that we don't need the bread.

We haven't even gone far when my girl started texting me on WhatsApp angrily asking me why I rejected her mother's gift. That she gave it out of love, this and that.

I told her that bread is the wrongest gift the mother could give me. I am supposed to buy them bread and not the one way round. I intentionally refused to buy bread for them because I assumed bread is an everyday food that people buy and eat, so I decided to go with the package biscuits instead and here they are offering me bread.

If it were something produced locally by them like coconut or something, I can understand but bread?

Please, did I do anything wrong rejecting the bread?

Oga you will have ego issues am sure. If you have respect you wouldn't deny that gesture whether you need it or not. You can go out and also give it out if you don't want it, but denying it is a big slap to them
Foreign Affairs › Re: Moldova President's Dog Bites Austria President's Hand During Visit (Photos) by Countersam(m): 7:24pm On Nov 19, 2023

The dog of the 🇲🇩 Moldovan president, Maia Sandu, has overturned protocol by biting the visiting 🇦🇹 Austrian president, Alexander Van der Bellen, on the hand.

The incident occurred on Thursday when the two leaders were strolling in the courtyard of the Moldovan presidential residence in the capital, Chișinău, and Van der Bellen tried to pet the dog, Moldovan media reported.

Sandu apologised in English and said the dog, a rescue named Codrut, meaning small forest, had become frightened by the large numbers of people nearby. At Van der Bellen’s next meeting, with the speaker of Moldova’s parliament, the Austrian president appeared with his hand bandaged.

In a video posted to Instagram on Friday, Van der Bellen sympathised with the dog. “Everyone who knows me knows I’m a big dog lover and can understand his excitement,” he wrote, adding that his meeting with Sandu and other officials had been “very good”.

Van der Bellen said he had given the dog a small toy on the last day of his visit.

The talks in Chișinău, attended by Van der Bellen and the president of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, focused on the bid by Moldova, which lies between Ukraine and Romania, to join the EU.

Sandu, who rescued the dog after it was hit by a car, posted pictures on social media of her pet with the two presidents.
The dog refused a presidential handshake

Romance › Re: My Single Female Neighbor Has Been Giving Me Food. What Could Be Her Intentions? by Countersam(m): 5:58pm On Nov 17, 2023
Keepamsafe:
For two weeks now, my next door neighbor who is a young single lady has been constantly bringing different meals for me after cooking.
Please note: I have never asked her for food before, as I cook at home and enjoy doing my things myself.

The second time she brought me a meal she wore a skimpy dress. I didn’t mind tho, I just told her she is a very good cook and I enjoyed the first meal. Since then, she’s been bringing different dishes to me now. Sometimes she even calls to know if im back from work that she’s cooking something.

Also note, I have never given her any money for this meals she’s been giving me.

My question now is, should I continue eating? do I have anything to be scared of? Could there be another motives behind this her kindness? Or maybe im over thinking?

Advise please.

marvelck:
Akwa Ibom girls and guys have limited options when it comes to marriage, because they don't like marrying outside their State/tribe

Don't know if it has to do with language barrier or due to other reasons.

Like other tribes, who don't see anything wrong with inter tribal marriage, they are usually reluctant to date or marry outside their State.

They need to allow the beauty they possess spread around the country, haba. Why keep all your fine girls in one place (akwa Ibom). They need to go out there, mix and get married to outsiders.
My most loyal girlfriend for life was from Akwa Ibom, and she was willing to give her life to marry me although am not from her place neither do I speak or understand her local language. I fault your assumption by the way. They are people that travel out of state a lot for permanent residency and they marry from anywhere.

Nairaland General › Re: Why MTN Might Have Cleared It User's Debt by Countersam(m): 2:52pm On Nov 11, 2023
IsaacRocks:
Decoding MTN's Debt Clearance: A Strategic Move to Retain Customers

Have you ever wondered why MTN decided to wipe away the debts of its users? Let's delve into the rationale behind this unexpected and generous move.

In a country where almost everyone relies on an MTN SIM as their primary mobile connection, the ubiquity of MTN usage makes users eligible for various services, including loans. Many Nigerians found themselves indebted to MTN, owing sums as substantial as 7000 Naira. For a significant number, this debt became a hindrance, leading them to cease recharging their MTN SIMs altogether.

The cycle of accumulating debt, discontinuing recharges, and resorting to acquiring new SIM cards became a pattern for some users. With a similar borrowing process in place, Airtel offered a contrasting approach by limiting the amount users could owe, making it more manageable for them to repay. This distinction prompted some users to opt for Airtel over MTN.

Recognizing the potential loss of customers due to accumulated debts, MTN took a strategic step by clearing the debts of its users. The significant amount owed by many users, up to 7000 Naira, was perceived as a barrier preventing them from actively using their MTN SIMs. By erasing this debt, MTN aims to re-engage users who had refrained from recharging and, in some cases, resorted to switching to alternative providers.

The decision to clear debts is not merely an act of generosity; it's a calculated business move. MTN anticipates that this debt clearance will encourage users to resume regular recharges, thereby boosting the company's revenue. The cost of clearing the debt is considered an investment in customer retention, as losing a customer to a competitor proves more costly in the long run.

In essence, MTN has chosen a strategic path – sacrificing short-term losses for potential long-term gains. By removing the financial barriers that kept users from actively using their MTN SIMs, the telecommunications giant is banking on the likelihood that these users will return as paying customers, ultimately offsetting the cleared debts.

So, while MTN has wiped the slate clean for its users, it's a strategic move that reflects the intricate dance between customer satisfaction and long-term business sustainability. In the end, whether through cleared debts or increased recharges, users will find themselves contributing to MTN's bottom line.
We are trying to improve the naira and patronise made in Naija, this move is just to retain customers but we are still using Glo.

In this life ehh fear women,

I had the intention of bringing this story here since the journey begins but i wanted to be sure that she finalized her plans and actually believe the saying that if you meet a snake and a woman in the room, my guy secure the snake and deal with the woman grin.

My friend is married for 14yrs with no child, all effort to get the hubby to hospital for fertility test prove very difficult, on the other hand she did her own and it was confirm she is ok, fast forward to last year the hubby finally yielded to the family pressure and did the test in three different hospitals, lo and behold my guy was confirmed to have LSC or He can't give woman beans chop, the wife became very sad coz for her if the Man had agreed right from time by now there would have been a solution medically or trad.

Now she confirms to me she wasted her 14yrs with the Man and now she is no longer young enough to even look for a guy to settle with, then she open up on plans to japa last year October, i ask why? she said if she no get children make she get money and possibly oyinbo people no dey despise older a much older African woman the way we do here she is 40yrs. she requested i borrowed her 500k to support her movement i told her i dont have, even if i do i doubt i will give coz i am not happy the hubby is not aware of this plans.

fast forward to yesterday, this babe don move and she arrive safely and she just said comrade as she use to call me (Marriage don end be that), the hubby is not aware as i speak, how can women be this wicked?

I believe it should not get to this level, what do you think?
Yes women can be something else most times but don't go crying someone else's tears..
