Is there a team that has never lose a match, what will happen will happen. The opponent also prepared, good luck with Barcelona new coach.
It is not the losing that matters. Afterall, barcelona lost to Osasuma and no one complained. When you lose 8:2, then that is no longer losing but demolition, destruction and annihilation all in one.

MrBrownJay1:
i fully disagree... the minute you call someone stingy, you have automatically made plans for that person's money... and when they refuse to pay for whatever plans you made, you turn on them and call them stingy/selfish etc without even remotely asking yourself why that person doesnt want to be part of your issues. here lies the main issue: who are you to expect ANYONE to do what "you" desire with THEIR money?! how do you know if i am not saving to get married to the love of my life? how do you know if i am not saving to open my own biz? being prudent with money means that you will make sacrifices in your life in order to attain your own life goals... and then you guys will then come and make plans upon that dude's own money with no care in the world. haba!!!!



thats because you "assume" that the surplus (aka the money a person has saved by making life sacrifices) should be spent for your own desires, while this person is cutting corners in order to do without that same pleasure. come on!



dont get me wrong, i am not saying that the word stingy shouldnt exist, i am just saying that the word stingy shouldnt be viewed as something "wrong/bad", like you guys are trying to make it look. i am just saying that there is nothing wrong with refusing to dash money to people (as if you were Dangote) but i am simply saying that, if someone needs to BORROW money then they should say exactly that AND make sure they let you know when/how they will repay you back your hard earned cash (and certainly not expect free money).



sadly, you are abusing the word, you are abusing/imposing on people's kindness, you are enforcing your own desire unto others, as if it would be wrong to say no to someone, simply because you have money saved. this entitlement mentality has got to stop. live your life and let others live theirs.
You like to beat about the bush. Out of the multitude of all you wrote, the only response needed was the bolded.

In order words, stinginess should be seen in a positive light and everyone should be stingy in its real sense of word. Very interesting cheesy

MrBrownJay1:
sadly, AGAIN, you are selfishly looking at the issue your own way. regardless of how much money you have counted in MY pocket, i can do what i desire with it, and there is nothing wrong with it. if the above story happens, i will BORROW the money to Lala and expect to be repaid IN FULL, but i certainly wouldnt "give" him the money, as if money grew on trees.

you see, the above is the whole bloody difference here... these people who are quick to call others "stingy", dont do it because the person refused to borrow them the money, they do so because they EXPECTED TO RECEIVE FREE MONEY!



lol bro, as the chairman of the "MONEY DOESNT GROW ON TREES" association, believe me when i say:"the minute you make someone believe they can get free money from you, is the day your friendship with that person will be over."

today is chop money, tomorrow, transport fare, after tomorrow brazilian hair, the week after school fees, then next mont, pay her rent... and guess what? after giving her money during all this time, the day you now refuse, na that time they will call you wicked or stingy (while forgetting all you have done for them in the past). ungrateful bunch of beggars!
This guy...looks like I will need to inject the point into your head through another special means grin

No one is saying anyone is entitled to your resources...you have every right to what you have earned. Abeg, take like 2 mins to allow this statement seep in your your brain before proceeding to the next paragraph.

Now, when you have surplus, and you have the capacity to help another that genuinely needs from you and you withhold help, even when part of the surplus will not detract marginally from you, then the term for such action is stinginess. It does not matter whether you were obligated to give or not. Whether stinginess is a good thing by you or not is another issue which I do not want to debate...afterall, morality could be proven to be relative.

But nonetheless, I must not fail to say that the premises of argument no follow at all... Sorry bro, but that's the truth. The entire summation of the premises on which your argument is built on is that the word "stingy" should not exist. Look at it well, that's what it means. Else, prove me wrong by defining what stinginess is to you with a clear illustration. grin

Note: we are all aware that the word stinginess has been abused by people with entitlement mentalilty. I am not referring to this type. angry

MrBrownJay1:
bwaaaah!! "selfish" for doing what you desire with your own hard earned money!?!?!? see how you are talking as if you have any claim to another person's wallet?!?!

a man will work and save his own money (for whatever plan he has in his life), while women/strangers will use theirs for nonsense rubbish under the sun, and then some women will now come into this man's life and "demand" that this man do what she thinks is right with his hard earned money. WANDAFUL!!!!

pls rephrase that to: SELFISH is the person who foolishly thinks that another person's money is theirs. the minute you think you have any right to decide where the fine line starts and stop for others, is the minute you have lost the plot on life.

NEWSFLASH: if you are hungry, go buy your own food... brazilian hair?! get it the same way you did before you met that dude....and if you have financial problems, go ask your father!
You are making a point. Unfortunately, you are looking at a multifaceted case from one angle only.

Don't confuse the subject matter for obligation. You have no obligation to give to people but you can be stingy (in its real sense of word) depending on the scenario....definately not like the one you painted above.

Let's assume we are not talking about our entitled naija babes.

Let's assume you were passing by and you see lalasticlala short of N50 to complete his money for amala from mama iya Basira and you have enough money for like 5 coolers of amala in your pocket...say your daily meal allowance from office. You have every right to to with hold help because it is your money but you are actually a very stingy person in this case if u actually do. Even me as guy man sef no go relate with person like you cause you will not help me when in need. If everyone adopts this mindset, you might not even be where you are today.

MrBrownJay1:
i fully disagree with your above description of stingy people...

but hey lets look into the matter:
- are you claiming that its wrong for a person to be CAREFUL with his/her money?
- are you claiming that a person does NOT have the right any longer to do what they choose with their hard earned money?!
- are you saying that because someone is broke, instead of fixing their sorry lives, people who are careful with their money should now use THEIR OWN MONEY to fulfill what that broke person couldnt do (because they were careless with their own money)?!?!?
- what i find amazing here is people who look down on stingy people AND/OR think they can have an opinion on how someone should spend their money, as if your opinion matter MORE than that person's own.


a broke person has NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to demand shiit from anyone. make your own money and do what you please with it.

as for women who call men stingy, we all know why they do it.... to hurt that person's ego because the majority of donkeys out there would try to prove her wrong by splashing money on her deluded self.
There is a fine line between being careful and being stingy. The latter is selfish, while the former is financially prudent.
RomanceMy Opinion: Ladies who emphasize that they hate stingy guys have ulterior motive by ElasticStone(op): 11:19pm On Aug 16, 2020
My advice to guys is that they should run away from any lady that says she hates stingy guys. Run away at lightening speed. Real niggas will understand why grin

Actually it is normal to hate stingy and self-centred people. I hate them with passion and don't keep them as friends...gender notwithstanding.

Every reasonable person hates stingy people. When ever I come across a stingy fellow, I don't need to call them out. I only avoid interactions with such. Most decent and well mannered people don't need to point out traits that they dislike in a person. They have a mental note of it and whenever they observe in a person things they don't like, the simply eject the person from their friendship cabinet.

But when a lady needs to specifically mention or vocalise (especially with an aggressive tone) that she hates stingy people, she actually means she hates people that will not give her access to their mumu button for unrestricted lamina flow of bank resources.


This is tested and trusted fact. 100% verified grin cheesy cheesy

don't you think nigerian girls are oy dull when they aren't into u.
True to some extent, but most are void of basic understanding of intellectual trends so one needs to carefully select what tickles their fancy.

I will give you an instance based on the experience with my ex. she wasnt all that engaging when the covid19 was all up. I struck a converstion on logical ways the govt could structure or ease out the lockdown. All she was saying was ok and lol. But the moment we talked about restaurants etc...u needed to see paragraphs of reply. Fact is most nigerian girls are bereft of intellect.

BusinessRe: Is It Possible To Order Stuff From Amazon To Any Nigerian State? by ElasticStone(op): 9:37am On Jul 28, 2020
infogenius:
Modalities.
1. Most likely u'll need a third party shipping agent to help you ship from US to Lagos and then to kogi.
Here's the route, Amazon ships ur order to ur shipping agent's address in the US (this means u use ur shipper's address as ur shipping address on Amazon). Ur shipper brings ur goods to Nigeria for u.
U can arrange with ur shipping agent to have ur items sent to you by ur place at kogi.
There are times u can ship directly, it may be very expensive though,and using postal services will take quite some time to get it delivered.

2.Yes ur card should work if it either a mastercard or visa card
Thank you so much.

RomanceRe: My Fiancee Insists We Spend N500k Or Less On Our Wedding But I Want To Spend N1M by ElasticStone(m): 4:01pm On Jul 25, 2020
Ninobraw:
I am a guy of 29 years old and she's 24 years old. She is a nurse and she is working and earning good salary. We have been dating for the past 3 years, ever since she came into my life things have been moving forward. Between the space of three years I was able to buy a land and build two flat (almost completed) and also buy a nice car. All this was possible because she was in my life. She assisted me with the money she accumulated before she met me, (2 million naira) gave it to me to add it to the money I was using to build the house, she has really been the best thing that has happened to me. We both have never cheated on each other, I'm very happy having her in my life. During the period of covid 19 my business was shut down totally she was the one that sustained me Althrough and never complained.

She later resigned from her nursing work and started her own chemist shop, I supported her with 300k she rejected it and asked me to add it to the money for house project. She is making some good money from her store any way.

Now we plan to do our marriage by December and I budgeted more than 1 million naira.
the problem is that she insisted that it is too much that I should not spend more than 500k that's been a problem to us but later settle it. because she won't just listen to me she wants me to spend less than that the reason why I wanted to spend more than 1 million Naira was because she deserves it.

So because of that we adjusted the marriage to three months time since it's just 500k I am spending now my question is can I spend 500k for a moderate marriage? And I wanted to do something tangible for her because she deserve more than everything I have, please what other things can I do for her that will be equivalent to everything she has done for me.

Since we have been dating she has never asked me for big money and also when ever I give her she always tells me that she gat money that no need to give her, in fact she love me so much that she don't even accept money from me unless gift. Now I want to do something tangible for her because since I have been dating her she doesn't allow me spent on her that much, and she doesn't complain.
Does she have a sister? I am single and searching!
