Be careful. Let her not take you to eko meridian. Let her price herself before enjoying bae privilege

Christian07:
Am not ganna lie to you bro the truth of the matter is the place you say to take her to doesn’t seems friendly it sound like a place you take a girl to and end up at your house you should have considered other places like kfc, dominos to lick ice cream or mega chicken etc beside it’s ur first date and for er ppl not to see er is a place Nt meant for everyone


Are you suppose to be drinking beer on ur first date am confuse

1st date do not have to involve eating, it should be what you do not sit at home and prepare urself, We al eat at home so food is not all that wanting, going for a drink is more of a thing than eat n swallow. These are the difference between a girl and a lady!

BestAccessories:
You're right. I have clarified same with the OP in my other comments on the thread.

Beside, going on a date with a babe you meet offline shouldn't be rocket science.

He didn't play his card well.

He could have asked her to meet him in a neutral place for a start, then take her to the eatery/bar/lounge instead of asking her to come directly there.

well, Im sure there was a build-up to this, however reasons given by the girl raises eye braw, stuff like my village people go there, is she going to date/marry the said village people or is she a teenager then I will take such person as immature or better still she got something to hide!

BestAccessories:
Well, basically if we meet online and we are meeting for the first time, I give the lady the honour of suggesting a place she is comfortable with for a start.

Maybe because I drive, it's convenient for me to navigate my way around and also remember I said First meeting.

For girls I meet offline, I suggest the place we meet. Patapata, I will come pick you up at your apartment and drive you to the location/venue.

Asking a girl I meet online to suggest a place we will meet for the first time allows me:

1. Understand if allow taste aligned.
2. The type of person you're truly are.
3. No strings attached, opportunity to japa if what I expect isn't what you got.

It works for me.

Asking her to suggest, doesn't mean I will accept the suggestion. It's a Suggestion, I asked for not Recommendation.

What you are narrating is a total opposite of what the OP is saying, OP met her in a church, Online you both, meet in a safe place neutral to both of you somewhere you and her feel safe not just her. After the link-up, you can now arrange the 1st date.it is at this point we are o n same page as OP.

BestAccessories:
Oga, stop being a child. For first date, ask her to suggest a venue and location.

It's takes two to tangle, if she doesn't like the place you suggested, you should have asked her where is comfortable and convenient for her.

Up your game.

U want to take a girl out for the 1st time and you want her to choose a place,?and you say you got game really??
A date is meant to be a place she does not know to Introduce a wee element of surprise. asking her to chose is like telling her you gonna go dutch!

wallg123:
That’s because Nigeria is a failed state where forces or demand and supply doesn’t apply ....

That's not the reason why things like land cost same, in the Uk its pretty much the same for land.

HitlerGaddafi:
True tho, those barracks kids are something else. So many kids mixing together to plan their next operation. They are too much and rugged. One soldier (NCO) go born like 6 pikin, that's why most barracks are usually overpopulated with children and where there are so many kids from different background, you're bound to have juvenile deliquency. most of those crimes within and around the barracks are usually committed by those barracks children .. cc erico2k2 Odidigboigbo

Nah true and if one of them is caught nothing will happen cos it might just be one Oga's son, however, the news about ordinary people guarding barracks won't be true though lol can you imagine that!

qwertie1234:
i understand that been rude and impolite is something personal but looking around, some professions habour large number of these rude and stern set of peeps and it makes me wonder..

1.Nurses; I recently went to a general hospital to see a friend and seeing the way these nurses handle patients makes me wonder if hostility is part of the nursing curriculum being taught in nursing school... A particular patient was screaming of pains and these nurses were just glued to their plasma television watching zeeworld.. I understand the work load is quite cumbersome but does that justify thier carlous attitude towards people they are meant to take care of...

2. Bankers; epecially the ones in the customer care stand...their attitude can be very annoying.

3.Nepa staff; hmmmm these ones ehn, their ear is selectively non receptive to the word "abeg"...most especially the ones assigned to disconnect light.

4. Doctors; though a few medical doctors are nice, there is still a large chunk of very rude medical doctors..u see them operating phone and chatting when a patient is right before them struggling for life.

This is not to say there aren't nice and dedicated staff in the above listed profesionals but a very good number of them are, in summary, quite rude to say the least..

You are free to add or remove from the list.

Only in 3rd world countries

if you are converting pounds to Naira anytime you wanna spend you would feel like not spending money...... if I tell you my own eh ok hear this I did call a barber for a home service last week do you know how much he charged me? He charged me £30 pounds I didn’t even know it was that much until I converted it to Naira after he went ,I saw it was N19,000 ooo my leg begin to shake ooo because in Nigeria I do have my haircut in a standard barber shop in Abuja and at most it N1,000 with free body massage after cutting my hair. To wash car nko it £15 that’s almost N12,000. But in all I can not be converting pounds to Naira if I want to spend it doesn’t make any sense as the economy is different.

leave am E go soon learn, plus palm oil is not allowed on flights so nah to bribe customs, E make sense? on top o be bottle of Oil

wallg123:
You are very correct..The more devalued the Naira gets, the more expensive things become in that country ... ...Personally I’ll invest in the UK rather than Nigeria....

certain things remain same, Land, labour etc

iCode2:
over #1500 for 1.5 liters? Omo I go just carry everything come like this oo.

How much is Big Ragolis water bottle filled with palm oil in Nigeria?

Vooom:
Elders nor vex

This stress taken to take okomu palm oil frm here to UK shey e worth am ni?


One cannot get good palm oil at fair prices there? . .

Waste of time, just buy Oil here, last last £3 go give you 1,5liters.

marylandcakes:
Nigeria is the worst place to invest at the moment. The government is unstable and the economy is volatile.

anywhere there is a population there is an investment, Ask yourself what eh Americans are doing in Niger republic

Nigeriawarlord:
I will consider this fake news till it's proven otherwise.

If an army barrack ain't safe, then the insecurity in our dear country has gone to a whole new level.

I call on the security operatives to profer solution to this menace of insecurity. Law abiding Nigerians can't continue to live in fear.

God bless Nigeria.

Not at all my Uncle used to live at the Ikeja police barracks opp secretariat, The thieving there is out of this world, if you ever leave your flat and travel sorry will be your name, cars get broken into etc. Don't be too surprised.

Port Harcourt ,Edo and cult.


But wait why do cult?

Parent to blame not Govt all the time

Remind us what state the 1st cultist comes from again

Pierocash:
Is it that the only thing Wike knows how to do is curfew? Ordinary cult war is what he is declaring curfew thereby extending and multiplying the hardship of the already suffering Rivers people. So security can not be beefed up around that axis to curtail this gang war to the point that the entire community has to be punished.

Of a truth,wike is pure evil.he enjoys seen people suffer,wail,and cry .


James Madison is right- when tyranny and oppression enters, it comes in the guise of fighting crime

I be;ieve if you live there and has lost someone to these senselessness called cult you wont be saying that craaap up there

Brief history about Samuel Bill... The founder of this great mission below..

Samuel Alexander Bill (1864 in Belfast – 1942 in Nigeria) was an Irish Christian missionary and the founder of the Qua Iboe Mission (later renamed Mission Africa). Bill was raised in Ballymacarrett Presbyterian Church, east Belfast, but was most notably associated with Island Street Belfast City Mission Hall. His interest in missionary work was sparked by a visit to Belfast by Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey in 1874. He attended the Harley Missionary Training College in London, then under the leadership of Henry Grattan Guinness; and travelled to Nigeria to commence a work amongst the Ibeno people in 1887. The mission base was founded on the banks of the Qua Iboe River, and this base gave the name to the independent interdenominational mission that Bill founded.

Root to our present predicament, these are the branches the west used to evade us Africans!

TRAY2:
What is dishonest about my comment please?

1 wen you say ur car is for pleasure and domestic o only and you use it for work 247
2 When you do not own a drive and you claim your car is parked in a drive overnight
3 When you use ur car for delivery and you say ur annual milage is 4k etc
Im not digging you out as being dishonest not at all, Im just trying to state a warning of what happens when you are I involved I n an accident then they might investigate and trust me those guys are good,

TRAY2:
Admiral is a good one.. i got a quote for £754 for my first car. Increase your voluntary excess, reduce your annual mileage to like 4-5k and say it is for leisure and domestic only, parked in a drive way. Bla bla bla

ahahah you guys don't learn, Until you get hit or you hit something and a claim is put in then you will know why its best to give honest info, you will learn the hard way we all did!

SakoBkup:
Oga erico2k2,

Thanks for the advice will def contact u again wen Im ready thanks for the head ups, by the way whats cement price saying now in PH well in Obiakpor area?

SakoBkup:

Someone might need this information someday. Some pic attached.

Might do wen I want to floor my yard!

Afikoo:
Good morning Nairalanders. I sure know you all fine.

I am writing this with heavy heart.
I know we have super rich people here who rose from poverty to riches.

This life isn't balance. Done with school. Been working as security administrator in my church and I earn 80k. I have been planning on getting married. Have met my fiance Parents, they were happy. I have engaged her she is happy. All of a sudden the elder brother who isn't around is angry that I haven't spoken to him about my intention. I have earlier tried his line severallly and it isn't going through. Had to chat him and he told me I am not serious that I should grow up. A bullet in my heart.

Her mum has suddenly changed and is accusing me for not calling her always.
This whole drama has gotten into my babe now she is talking about us suspending our marriage plan and try improving our income. (She is learning a skill)

I am fed up. Have suspended everything now. I have tried everything since I left school last year to improve my income. Apply for jobs here and there. Is just not cutting in.

Please, share your experience on how you were able to get out of this average life as a Nigerian.

Advise me and others still struggling to rise up.
You can recommend jobs for me.
I studied history and Diplomatic Studies.
Have some certification in Leadership and human resource. Trust me, I can deliver on anything legal. I have the capacity, but haven't gotten the opportunity.

Patiently reading.

Im gonna go straight to the point, Congratulation for taking this bold step to be a man, Now it's great that you know your self worth, stick to it, do not let anyone bully you into what you cannot handle, it is a wife you want to marry not a commodity you want to purchase.If the family are giving you stress, tell your fiancee that the whole situation is getting hot that you would like to take a breather and observe things from a safe distance, Watch out how everyone will change. Do not force yourself to think you have failed, the most important thing is you got hope and future everything else na Jara.if you to be wife can't see this then she is not the one.Be a man and be bold to make things happen the way you want after all you are the one who is going to spend and pay for the marriage not them.

ThinkPad01:

Cypost:

Problem with containerizing is you are at the mercy of container agent! it hard to be doing business in Nigeria any which way!

U can do RORO however make sure a copy of BOL is sent to ur agent once ship leaves and 4ward all payments in a way ur car leaves port max 4 days

sammy329:


The U.K. should mind their own business

Are you OK,? is this not minding their own business? or are you trying to say the people who come to their country is not their business, unlike urs? Look adjust reasoning!

windbreaker:
How will you bound bikes in Apapa.. How do you expect people to get to work? There is virtually no vehicular movement on Apapa and Tin can area/route due to horrible roads, parked trucks,tankers and trailers. I keep wondering how this current government reasons.. Shallow and poor way of reasoning in all aspects. I just wish they could go through what the poor masses and commuters go through every day in Lagos.. Eko ti baje

the trucks should be removed oh I 4got it belong to some people who sponsored the lagos politics lol

obami007:
Enforcement of Traffic laws ??

When roads are blocked and people spend hours everyday in traffic.

Oga Gov, providing alternative routes and easing stress off people should be your priority and not empowering traffic officers to fleece off residents of the state

lack of enforcement is the problem in lagos .the commercial buses are number one culprits. in a bid to pick up passengers they will stop in the middle of the road and turn a 3 lane I to a one laned road.the commercial motorcycles do not help matters

LagosismyHome:
Nigerian rule states you can only renew your passport 6 months to expiration date . Meaning September can be renewed only from March.

Whether they keep to that rule is another conversation, but since you are in Nigeria. You can easily check if it can be renewed

My dear the way 9ja works sometimes I chose not to go with their so call rule cos even them nor dey follow,u can say ur passport loss and make foto copy go do another one simple.As I speak someone else's 9ja passport got sent to my other address in south London, I have been trying to contact this person for two months now.

Vooom:
Sorry to jump on this

I am meant to come to the UK in a few weeks on a tier 2.
My passport expires sept next year.

Although my passport hasn't been returned
But when i get it would you advise I renew it here or would it have any implication with further proceedings

trust me it much better you renew your passport there ohh
