Hahaha, to paraphrase Claire from Mordern Family, its funny how every generation thinks that they have found the answer to parenting? It seems that they think they can do better than there parents or have found the formulae for perfect parenting. I am talking about the young and single ones who don't have children yet and yet still talk with the authority of someone whose kids have grown to be adolescents just because they have some exposure babysitting or reading some magazine articles on parenting. Such hubris.

Reality is sooooo much different. To think that you can suddenly uproot a basic cornerstone of child rearing just because you are now "enlightened" and "mordern" by reading some online articles and bestselling books on parenting.

I guess there is always a new parenting fad or philosophy that springs up in almost every decade due to the plethora of books written by child psychologists or counsellors.




By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.

lysaa: y do men want techie-maid for a wife sef? cos no matter a lady's qualifications , technically, they'd rather she passes for a maid (doing all the chores plus satisfy them). For this i say men are greedy!

Well, that's like asking why a girl wants a guy who is ambitious and financially stable for a husband.

WOW! WHAT A FANTASTIC STORY! Nice one by the OP.

Gold digger alert!

otipoju: The power over life and death is in the tounge . Those that are wise will eat the fruit thereof.

I learnt that bitter lesson. It tool 4 years to reverse playful negative statements that I had consistently pronounced for 4 months and completely forgotten about.

Watch your tounge people, the universe is not as innocent as it looks.

WOW!

It could be the culture. My guess is that a lot of naija guys misconstrue playfulness for 'green light' to go further and push boundaries.
It is no wonder naija born and raised females feel that they have to be rude and mean to ward of unnecessary attention from the guys.

It's this attitude that makes me avoid talking to a lot of naija girls haha

Fantastic move by the Nigerian sports ministry. Hahahaha, nice one.

Wow! Just when I was thinking that I would read a good piece, I read this rubbish that shows me 3 professional ways to lie. No thanks.

WOW!!! If this is actually true. This should make front page hahaha,

Wow! An intelligent post on nairaland.

Remmyy: Jesus Christ. . .
I don't normally get myself involve in anything on this site because of so. . .
many b**sh** i always come across. . from the annoying 'first to comment' idiots to the tribal rubbist e.t.c
A girl CLEARLY stated that SHE HAS NO feeling for this guy because of her own reason unknown to most of you YET!
some of you were asking her why? why not give him a chance? he's very nice? don't miss this opportunity? and more bs like that.
Damn! who are you guys? daft? cretin? are you the ones that would be stuck in an unhappy relationship at the end of the day?
Does anyone understand that you can like someone but NEVER EVER love them?
Some even said she is possessed or attached to some gods, some said shes dumb, what an idiotic statement!!

Girl. . listen to me
Do not marry or date anyone out of pity
If you don't love him, you don't love him and thats it.
AT the end of the day, its all about you and none of these half-witted hypocritical schmucks with single digit IQ would live with you
if you go ahead and end up being frustrated.
A word is enough for the ?

Stupi.d Matchmakers!

GBAM!!! Ori e pe jare (your head correct).

marabout: Looking at many of the replies here especially from some ladies, I am now convinced that there should be an affordable over-the-counter DNA test kit. This must be ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS why 30 to 50% of babies don't belong to their supposed biological fathers.

So you mean lots of women are married to men they don't have any iota of romantic love or feeling or attraction towards just because he has the means/affluence to provide security? How can you spend your lifetime just tolerating a wife/husband?

So when you now meet the "RMD" of your dreams, you shag him and pass the pregnancy off as your husband's/official boyfriend's?

Yes, many of our grandmothers/fathers were possibly match-made by their families BUT that was a time when people had strong moral fibre and believed in instant justice from Sopana, Sango, ancestral deities etc, for infidelity and they were held in check.

On the other hand, Naija people are very pragmatic and practical hence the many "amala, bread-and butter & opportunist" replies that carefree should marry him.

Finally! A comment with common sense.

HisMajesty1: I don't think so. I feel they are just unlucky.

What? Loosing on a penalty shoot out like the Dutch and the Costa Ricans is unlucky.
Hitting the post in the last minute before penalties like Chile is unlucky.
Conceding 10 goals in two games (at home!!! ) while scoring only one is just bad, bad football bro.
Nice try though but you gotta try harder.

Looks like a thread I would love but I can't really read what's on the graph.

If you don't feel good about it, FLEE. Some guys think that all women are cheap and can be bought with material things. Please OP, return those things he gave you or you would be like one of those other females.
Also, don't let all this myopic thinking people force you into making a bad decision.

NOT EVERY ONE YOU MEET IS FOR DATING.

What an awful article that tries to simplify a complex issue. Indeed a terrible attempt at sarcasm.

lionelrobben: yes dis is true. sum mths back I had maleria. da docta no gree treat me. he said i should hand ova my BB. i tell am say no, na di only fon wey i get. he said he no fit treat me till i dash am all my female BBM contacts. diaris god ooo

Are you serious? Or you are just joking.

herald9: Only in the western world is that post taken serious. It's just a joke in Africa.

Hahaha nice retort. Ori e pe for that nice comeback.

broadminded: ...Starts crying again

Hahahahaha, hohohoho chai! Naija people hahaha.

datalossvictim1: Hmmnn karma did iwilade wrong then. They should have reported the matter to the police instead of beating them to numbness. It is difficult to stop violence with violence. Very sad!

Not that i condone jungle justice but You have to take into mind that the police and the judicial system in the country is very ineffective.

dondumexx: The Vice-Chancellor, Covenant University, Professor Charles Ayo, who announced the appointment, said the coming onboard of Professor Maskin is an impetus to the University’s quest to be one of the top ten universities in the world within the next ten years.

Wow!!!! what a truly shocking statement for a vice chancellor to make. Man, I am truly stunned.

Good for them sha. Hopefully they achieve their goals. I would encourage them to even go further and make him Vice-chancellor or even head of dept then maybe he would also attract other professor's of his own ilk to the school.

mgbeketoto: I beta hold on to my NIGGA BLOKOS O!
I never knew they were in such high demand.
So WHITE women are paying millions for illiterate, NIGERIAN blokoses in MALAYSIA kwa nu?

Wonders!

Didn't you read the article? It says these naija guys disguise themselves as American men.

idumuose: Is Tinubu civil? Is Aregbe civil? Is Omisore civil? Is Olisa metuh civil? This is politics section and not a civil society.

Take your civility to romance or health section.

Why can't you rise above the fray and be the better man instead of stooping down to there level?

zeelo2014: The same way Christians are harassed in the Core North. I suffered same when I served.
Or the case of Eucharia Remmy a female corper in Yobe (pictured below),killed for distributing rhapsody of realities, a christian tract from Christ Embassy, she was shot point blank by Muslims. The truth is Muslims know how to cry to high heavens when they are been trampled on but look the other way when their brethren are killing Christians.

Wow!!! So we should now descend into childish tit for tat? Haven't you heard What did this innocent Muslims in Abia state do to you? Where they amongst the same people who "harassed" you? Stop lumping who have nothing in common but a shared religion into the same category. How would you like it if someone stereotype you just like that?

idumuose: You are right bro.Just as nothing will ever change about you.You will always be where you are any day any time.

What's with the personal attacks? He stated his opinion and you are attacking him for it! Na wa o. Why can't people be civil and respectful of one another?

rozayx5:

Nigeria vs germany - fetch your calculators

Hahahaha

metorichmond: Yobo theree is God ooo, so u pursued SE from Brazil to come and chill with family abi.

What kind of a pathetic comment is that? You do know there is life outside of football right? And that there are several more important things in life than winning a World Cup like family.

Dominiquez: Must he go with his mother-in-law.

It's just a game bra. Get over it.

Ozil should have never begin in the starting lineup. He caused that goal.

Typical naija cry baby. Things go against you then you start throwing a fit. Is Nigeria the only country that has suffered from bad referring? Did you not see the likes Croatia, Mexico, Colombia, Bosnia (remember them) and several others suffer from bad refereeing? Yet do you hear them talking about boycotting? Yes, they got mad and upset but not once did I hear anyone of them talk about a boycott instead it's a mediocre African country who benefited from bad refereeing to get to the second round that is complaining. Imagine the nerve!

If Nigeria likes, let them boycott along with the other African countries, based on some of their recent performances, I don't think anyone would miss them too much.
