Toks2008:
A man of vision is not necessarily a potentially rich man and a successful man is never the same as a rich man.

Often times when a lady says "I want a man with vision" what goes through her mind is that she wants a man that has good plans to make good money in the future.

Most ladies are fond of having a prototype figure of the type of man they want and in-fact when some ladies watch some accomplished guys on TV they just imagine their man could be who they are watching and some even develop hatred for their men wondering why his story is not like the rich men they read about or watch on TV but the hard fact of life is that every one of us have different scripts of life and we can never ever be the same.

Before you marry a man you must understand what he wants from life and trust me,some men have vision that has no affiliations to riches and you must also understand that no matter how dogged and resilient that guy may be in actualizing his dreams,some visions never come to pass and you must understand these facts and decide if you are still interested in being with him regardless and not frustrate his life if things do not turn out the way he planned.

Some guys have a vision to be good activists,caterers.teachers,missionaries,to serve someone,to be a dancer,sportsman,drummer and so on but the truth is that a man's vision is his vision so whenever ladies use these words "I want a man of vision" they must understand that some men don't even have vision to be rich but to be fulfilled and fulfillment in your career is never the same as riches.

People who changed the history of the world where not wealthy talking about

Jesus Christ
Muhamed.
Isaac newton,
Nelson Mandela,
christopher columbus,
The Buddha
Mikhail Gorbachev
Winston Churchill
Woodrow Wilson
William Shakespeare
Martin Luther King
...

I can only imagine if Jesus happens to have a lady he was planning to marry and he tells the lady that his vision is to die for the world,will she still stand by him and marry him?

So when next a lady says "she wants a man with vision" Please don't think that every visionary man is keen on riches so ask that guy well and decide if you are willing to stand by him or just take a walk and allow a lady who will go all the way with him come into his life.

And for the guys, please don't be scared to open up to that lady on your real vision no matter how stupid or lowly it may be,remember that following your passion and fulfilling your vision is the greatest success and the greatest wealth you can ever acquire but you must also understand that no matter your vision,it is important for you to still perform your primary financial duty as the head of the family.

And for the ladies i will advice that you look inward,be a goal getter and set out early in life to also achieve your goals in life without any form of dependency or expectancy from any man because that man who seem to have great wealth today can crash in a swift and that unassuming man could become a billionaire later so go for the man of your heart,take the risk,be with a man for the right reason and commit the rest to fate.

Hope this makes sense.

On point!

Please read bear with me, read to the end and give me your advice(s). I seriously need them

We started dating in January and sincerely, she's one of the best I've met in life.
She filled a spot in my life. I loved her personality and her attitude to life; always cool, lively, positive and she's extremely sincere.

All through my life, I've dated just two ladies and they are both virgins(i could bet my life on this) and i don't know if i should consider this a blessing or otherwise but I still left them as I met them cos of some personal reasons.

We've been dating but not until last two months when I noticed that rather than for her to love me, she was being obsessed with me.

She never asked me for a penny throughout our relationship and even when I try to give to her voluntarily, she would refuse and tell me not to make her get used to putting her needs on me.
She was just 'too sincere' for me to handle.

Fast forward to why am writing this;
Last two months[while we were still together], she called me as usual and we chatted for long before she spoilt my mood.
She asked me if I would mind bonding our love through BLOOD CONVENANT to which I gave a fat NO to. I was shocked to my marrows but she started giving me silly reasons like 'I am scared of losing you','I love you so much',e.t.c and i didn't even mention that I'm just 22(far from marriage) and she's 21.

I decided to break up with her a week after that particular call but since then, she always calls or texts me to tell me of how wicked I am,how I made her loose,how I took advantage of her sincerity and genuine love and all those kinda stuffs angry women say.

My question is this: was I too 'harsh' on her with my decision?
Am I in anyway guilty of selfishness,heart break or any love related crime?

Did I in anyway take advantage of her?
And if I am/have been wrong in anyway,how do I right it?

Romancelanders,please help me
Thanks for reading

Op in a way you did the right thing by not going all the way to accede to her request on blood covenant. Infact, never ever involve your self in such, it's not Good.

She's just insecure, the best thing is to try as much as possible to let her see reasons why you can't involve yourself and make her understand that covenant or not you really do love her.

The only reason that should make you break up with her is when she still insist on the covenant thing.

Don't let anyone confuse you, do the right thing.

You can settle with her and continue the relationship but don't compromise your stand.

@ 21, she's probably still thinking like a child!

Some people are just quick to shout juice juicy as if their state rep' would come and squeeze it into their mouth, if we look away from supporting embezzlement there's no small ministry if the ministers really wants to work.

It's almost like we are calling their attention to the potentiality of milking the Ministry. They scream "juicy" as if the Minister is there to steal money.
All they are their for is to make it work so the Country can grow!

PORT HARCOURT—There was pandemonium, yesterday, at the Rivers State Secretariat following the mysterious appearance of a rabbit.

It was discovered beneath a car belonging to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Otonyetarie Okoye. Fear sent some civil servants home before closing hours.

One of the civil servants told Vanguard: “Some persons later summoned courage and went after it. Even policemen also joined in pursuit. It was later killed.

“Rabbits are normally found in the bush and not in the office. That rabbit is a witch.

“It neither looked like the type we used to pursue in the bush as children not the English rabbit.”

Rabbit found in Ministry of Agriculture! Where else should it be found?

fammo:
Hello nairalanders, is it not funny and somewhat annoying how we can give good relationship advices to other people and we seem to be confused when faced with our own issues. Well I'm in that situation now and I need your help.

I am currently engaged to this lady and we have even done an introduction, we've been through the various phases of relationship together, the happy days, sad days, break up periods, make up times etc. I love her, but I'm having doubts as to whether I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

We are age mates but she looks older than I am already even before having kids. She has had to change her religion just to make the relationship work and I think I'm going through with these relationship out of pity for her sacrifices, I fear this pity would one day wear out and i'll start resenting her and myself. Should I be worried about these feelings or is it just the normal cold feets guys get before finally saying the "I Do". Pls help me out guys.

Will really appreciate if this can make front page, this is my first ever NL post.
Thanks!

You are not going through with the relationship out pity, instead you are trying so hard to convince yourself not to marry her.

You are better off with a woman that can make sacrifices just to make a relationship work than one who is younger but self-centred.

Go ahead with the marriage, you'll be glad U did.

I think there is an elements of truth in ur post,I'm an isoko girl,and there is a village call asaba-ase meaning small asaba in isoko land,these people speaks both isoko and igbo fluently #fact# even some words in isoko rhyme in igbo e.g ude cream,aferri-plate. Not sure of the spellings sha

I'm also an Isoko guy from Ada-Irri, according to my Dad we're not linked to the Igbos. As the op said, we have words in Isoko/Urhobo that sounds similar with similar meaning, I believe these are borrowed words.

Please tell them o! Niger-Delta no be Biafra o

PDP, this is just a shrewd way of stirring up unnecessary sentiments.

True, I'll be glad if the South East zone of this Country is ceded but please leave the South-South people out of it, I'm not Igbo, I'm a Deltan and not a Biafran! I don't even like the sound of the name!

These Biafran agitators are stylishly trying to drag the South-South into their agenda,

If the South-South wants out of Nigeria, it'll be on our own term.

drnairalov:
it is old pics

Anyways say hi to my son

This is a beautiful boy!

That guy doesn't care one bit about you not to talk of loving you, don't take anything from him, not even a parting gift.

You took the right decision by ending the relationship and refusing to be the cause of another woman's sorrow. He's not worthy of you and any other "good" woman.

Stay focus till you meet the right man for you!

Gaborone:
There're compatibility issues here that I don't think should be ignored. Amos 3 v 3: Can two walk together unless they agree?


I sincerely think one should get married to someone who can they can 'go' with on life's journey.

Pastor Sam Adeyemi preached on the topic, "Growing Together" about 3months ago, and the crux of the whole message was that one should never allow his spouse/partner leave him/her behind. What he meant was that, if your partner is growing academically, start making efforts at growing academically too. If your partner is growing intellectually, spiritually, etc, catch up too, because any inbalance might lead to resentment, and one partner being out of place in the other's life.

Now, be very honest with yourself...can you brush her up to become intellectually and socially compatible with you? Should you fail at that, would you be okay if she is unable to play certain roles which your nature of work/lifestyle/plans/circle of friends and contacts may demand of her as your wife in future? Will you be ashamed of her, or embarrased by her grammatical errors in public? Will you be able to take it? Can her not-so-refined ways lead to resentment and irritation from you in future?

I'm sorry about the barrage of questions, but I feel only you can decide on this, same way I feel the answers to those questions would serve as a pointer to you, on the next step to take.

Wish you the best.

Wholly on point!

atbu1983:
South South Niger Delta will never join biafra

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to biafra. Niger delta struggle is resource control and true federalism. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

As far as I am concern Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa are all benefiting from the current system. After all an Igbo man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. Gen Agunyi Ironsi set the foundation for the destruction of regional federalism in Nigeria. if not for his love for total control and domination (The disease of an average Igbo man), Niger delta would have be enjoying 50% resource control today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12 day war.

The Igbo claim to be one of us because some South South states were part of the old Eastern region. First of all, eastern region was created by Nigeria for Nigeria convenience. It was not a decision of the nationalities that made up the old eastern region. Secondly before most people forget, today Edo and Delta state were never at anytime part of eastern region. Edo and Delta states were first part of Western region later became Midwestern region, then change to Bendel state before becoming Edo and Delta state today. Some tribes speak Yoruba in Edo and Delta state. Why is yoruba not claiming Edo and Delta state the way igbo is claiming Rivers and Delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?

Igbo may have succeeded in brainwashing some South South people that they are one of us, it is a big lie. They may have succeeded in brainwashing some of us that only hausa and yoruba is the problem of South South, it is a big lie. They are the same as far as I am concern.

The problem with Igbo is greed, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Singapore. if Qatar and Singapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like Qatar and enjoy their oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!


Below is the size of south south states and south east states. South South is almost 3 times the size of south East.
Yet the population of South east is almost 80% of south south population base on 2006 census. But by the time you add igbo who are currently leaving outside south east, you will discover that thier population is more than all the south south put together. More than 90% of the resources (oil, gas, limestones,etc) are in the south south. The whole of South East is landlock with no direct access to the sea or atlantic ocean. but almost all the south south states have direct assess to the sea and atlantic ocean. Some will say they have River Niger. River Niger is not a sea or an ocean for big Ships.

Tell me why South South Nations will want to form a country with south east if they have a choice ? all south east will bring to the table is population and domination? The total oil production from south east is not up to 10% of south south oil production!

If you are the leader of south south nations will you advice them to form a country with south east if they have the option of forming their own country alone? give a sincere answer!!

As far as I am concern, as unbrainwashed south south , there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbos were gaining and were in control and were happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love south south more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern.

The only place south south nationalities agree with Igbo is Nigeria should divide . However while south south clamour for succession is base on lack of true fiscal Federalism and resource control, on the other hand, igbo clamour for succession is base on IGBO BORN TO RULE, CONTROL AND EXPLOIT MENTALITY. Igbo make noise and claim d north have born to rule mentality because of Sokoto State former licence plate motto of born to rule which they have change. The People with the true born to rule mentality are d Igbo. it is because they are not having thier way that they are complaining and making all d noise all over Nigeria.

But how and why Nigeria will and should divide, what we want and what they want is as different as d distance of the earth to d moon.

South south want resource control or thier own freedom. we will support Biafra as Igbo only nation while they should support us to form our own nation or nations. But trying to add us as an appendage to Biafra will never happen.

If south south join Biafra, our individual identities will be wiped out in less than 50years. They will convert every south south nationality to Igbo. And they will so much take charge of the oil and resources with reckless abandon without any regard to d minorities.

LET EVERYONE FORMS HIS OWN NATION IF WE CAN'T GET 50% RESOURCE CONTROL. SOUTH SOUTH NATIONS DONT WANT IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA IN THIER NATION. WE DONT WANT ANY DOMINANT TRIBE TO CONTROL US IF OR WHEN NIGERIA DIVIDE.

They will argue that there are some igbo in rivers state, delta state and edo state. As far as i am concern Igbo speaking people in south south will join Niger delta republic or confederation. Their are Hausa people in Niger, there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo. Does that make those yoruba and hausa speaking people in those countries Nigerians?

The south south nationalities can form a confederation with United Arab Emirate template, where seven different nationalities came together to form a confederation with each nationality having some form of autonomy.

if the south east want to join the confederation they can join. We can't leave nigeria and go and form another normal single country were there is a dominant tribe. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Just like the United Ararb emirate asked qatar and behrain to join them, but qatar and behrain choose to form thier individual countries.

What Biafra represent is a single country with a powerful centre where a dominant tribe can control. South south dont want that. If we must fight or struggle for succession, we need a new name like "United State of niger delta" or any other name which clearly shows a union rather than a single country.

We need to set the record straight before south south nations make the mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. This was because nations in
south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some
part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into
Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace. It will be another Somalia!!!!

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation or seperate nations. Anything outside this will never work.

I do not hate Igbo people. Many of my friends are Igbo. I only hate thier deceit and greed. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
What we dont want is a dominant tribe simple. If south south join Biafra, that country will be 60% Igbo. How do you think other minorities can compete in that kind of country? Whether we like it or not we both know that Igbo are not diplomatic people by nature. That will lead to complete extinction of other tribe. in less than 50years they will make the whole Biafra Ibo without any consideration.

I dont hate Igbo. But i hate when i know the Biafra they seek is a Biafra with current south south as an appendage to it.
Why cant they support our freedom, and we will support thier freedom. Why do igbo make it look like it is wrong for Niger Delta people to seek thier own freedom outside Biafra? In biafra current south south minority will be like conquered people. God forbid that to happen.

a quote from Isaac Adaka Boro Autobiography (wriiten himself). Read Chapter 5 - Campus Politics
http://www.adakaboro.org/the12dayrev/chapter-5-campus-politics.
This was the campaign statement of his opponent for UNN SUG presidency:
"My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority.
These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest."

I am very sure that Nigeria will divide faster if Igbo seek Biafra with 5 south east state alone and Niger delta republic seek a country with the 6 South south states alone at the same time. Once the Hausa and Yoruba sees that Igbo are supporting a Niger Delta republic separate from Biafra, they will see it as true struggle. But if the struggle is about Biafra with south south in it, where Igbo will gain south south resources with Yoruba and Hausa loosing out, I bet you until South South oil finishes, Nigeria wont divide.

If we cant get resource control, we don't need to form a single country with Igbo, we can seek for our separate nation on two front simultaneously but not on one front. What we need is cooperation from Igbo not togetherness with Igbo. If they truly want to leave Nigeria and liberate Niger delta people from dominant tribes, they should support us to form our nation as they form thiers. I bet you when that happen, the struggle will be half won.

The Ojukwu Biafra was Igbo dream not Ijaw, Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ikwerre, ogoni, ibibio, etc dream.

In summary, my point is that why the primary interest of Niger Deltans is resource control, Igbo primary interest is seperation from Nigeria with Niger delta as thier trophy. Igbo wants a nation where they can become the lord, control and dominate others. Since in Nigeria, Hausa and yoruba are ahead of them in the power struggle, they resort to blackmail and cry foul claiming marginalization.

if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. Peaceful division of Nigeria can only be into a minimum of five countries (Arewa republic, Niger Middle belt, United Niger Delta, Oduwa republic, and Biafra). South South will form its own nation/nations.

My Igbo neighbour may not like this submission, but it is the bitter truth

While I do not accede to secession, if and if we must secede, Niger Delta must form it's own confederate alone and not with South East!

So a 42 year old man is now the prime minister and head of government of one of the biggest economies in the world while some fraudsters with their change gimmicks has fooled Nigerians into electing a 70 year old ex military personnel to be their president.

Canada didn't have a party like PDP who ruled for 16 years with nothing to show for it, nor have corrupt Leaders who cares not for the Country but themselves. Canada is a civilized Country that follow due process and smooth transfer of power. We needed a Buhari to wrest power from PDP so we can start afresh!

I thought the Niger Deltans wanted Biafra too...

...clearly Wike and Riverians do not...and their government didn't waste any time to give us the benefit of doubt

It is getting increasingly clear that this Biafra movement is located only on web browsers and in the hungry hallucinations of touts and street urchins

I'm a Niger Deltan And I don't want Biafra!

2 mins is an overstatement actually and it's affecting our sexual relationship. It has diminished his ego and as For me, I don't ever wish to have it with him honestly, It is not only embarrassing but frustrating.

But i feel like surprising him on his birthday. So I'm wondering if there is anything i can add to his drink; drug, herbs without his knowledge to enable him last longer to his amazement and making him feel it's natural. Or is there an ointment/cream I can use to massage him. I need to spice our marriage sexually.

Sometimes ur attitude to the act alone can hurt his pride and make him loose his libido, but your support, encouragement and endurance can change everything!

Do not wear ur disappointment on your face when he doesn't meet up. Tell him it's going to get better, infact tell him he has improved, this will make him have confidence in himself thereby increasing his libido.

Also, while in d act, he should be swallowing his own saliva, trust me, it works. You should also guide him through ur erogenous zones and let him stroke u gently till he makes u come without penetration, or penetrate just about when u r about to, that also will give him confidence to go all d way.

I must warn you, a lot of patience is required, if you cherish your marriage so much then you should be willing to make this sacrifice.

thorpido:
Have you really tried to sit him down to discuss this and let him know how you feel?
If a man stays away from sex for two months,he either has a medical issue that has made his libido drop or he is getting it elsewhere.
Some men get bored with sex with their wives especially if she makes it routine(missionary style alone e.t.c).It's no excuse to begin to stay away but the woman should get the initiative and a matured man should communicate it.

By the way,why is he coming back late of recent?Is he busier at work or just hanging out?
You guys need intimate talk.

In addition to all of the above, how are you looking physically? Are you obese with protruding belly? After childbirth you might have added some mass which might be repulsive to him, though that shouldn't be an excuse for your Husband to deny you of affection but some men can be funny.
Above all, take it to God in prayer, you'll be amazed how things will turn around for good.
I wish you the best.

I see nothing wrong with with kids wearing bum shorts but i dont approve of them watching such music channels cos of the high level of immorality in music videos.

When a child gets comfortable wearing bum shorts @ that tender age, tell me if she won't be comfortable going naked by the time she's 18

You should have told her the truth. That was a terrible mistake on your path. Don't delay, try and do the needful.
