Are you serious? I have no idea of what you are talking about, lady. I only ask a question that needs a good answer. Yes, I like the food. I didn't say I hate in my previous post.

Yeah right... Care for some leftover mushroom Tortellini & braised beef?

Yeye boy .

all4naija:
Holy Molly! Yum!Yum!Yum!

Really? You clearly have an agenda.

Sorry Roland, big fan here.

Happy 4th of July

all4naija:
Ah! Tasty! Why is it that most of you don't usually serve your food with juice or soda?

What difference does it make?
You never get satisfied , are you? You must cling onto some kind of criticism even when it's obvious you want that food on your table asap.

I can bet my life savings that 99% of comments here will tell OP to 'mind his business' ... so what good will my contrary advice do?

Naija, Naija, NAIJA!!! Na so so front we dey face when June 12 election was canceled and MKO mysteriously died in Aso rock. I don face front oh

Tnx
Who is your 'real woman'?

'Thought I already said that was me? ... A real woman hmmm

Biologically.. A human that has 2 Xchromosome,s 2 mammary organs , Vágina , observe monthly blood flow through her vjj, has a uterus and other feminine reproductive organs, constant/occassional hormonal outbursts (e.g brain Menopause ) ...

Literally... Confident, Compititive, Competent and Cuddly.

Figuratively.. A real woman define herself.

dinachi:
Yea

Cute family you've got.

Dinachi is that you on your Profile?

Holá J, we dey 0, thanks for asking. Just hayfever dey worry us one kind, but it's easing somewhat. How far with the loved ones?

To start, I said all things being equal. So assuming there are no questions of readiness or maturity - which are not necessarily age-dependent anyway.

1. It gives you more leeway in terms of when you start a family - older couples are under more pressure to have children soon. Giving you less time to simply enjoy each other without parenting cares.

2. It actually gives you more scope in the actual size of your family. The younger you marry, the more you are able to have - if you so desire. One of my cousins has six - only because he married at 24 to someone a bit younger. It's unlikely if you marry later.

3. If also forestalls/reduces the risk of fertility issues, and gives more time to deal with them if they do arise.

4. A big one for me is it matures men quick-time. Makes them more focused and responsible - studies show that married men tend to earn more. A marriage dividend so to speak.

5. More energy and time with and for your kids. Before and after they are grown. Which gives you your time together back when you are still a relatively young couple.

6. More likely to have the generation before you around to help, support and advise - and for longer.

I do see some potential benefits in marrying older, but in sum, I don't see them outweighing the advantages of doing it younger.

1. Probably more settled and possibly wealthier
2. Possibly more appreciative and ready to devote time to family and embrace "family man" things

What are your thoughts?

Aww same here , the allergy is going round the globe now , was telling my collegues how dusty my home country is yet we don't have sick kids like we do here.may God help our little ones esp.

Thanks for the reply, your points are clearly aligned with OP's reasons (early Birthing & women Fertility clock) which are though reasonable but not compulsory because everything is now achieveable with convenience & cash in hand. It all boils down to individual preference. My neighbour (east Indian) married in her
early twenties after college and started her Nursing Practice but surprisingly they mutually chose not to expand their family till date. They both seem very happy.

Honestly, I'll pick your last two points over the first 6 100times Raising family and struggling to make ends meet is no child's play especially when you have specific taste of lifestyle.

Have a great weekend . It's a beautiful warm & breezy day here.

I brought him home, he is not himself really not eaten anything solid all day can't keep it down. .he is taking liquids sha lil sips of water. He is asleep now .

I think its the heat or maybe a bug he picked up. Will watch him all night and book an appt with the gp just to fulfill all righteousness. they kuku won't give him anything. UK gps and medication seem to have some kind of beef

He can't go tomorrow sha they can't go in for 48 hrs if they have been sick(throwin up or diarrhoea) Not a good time month end/the beginning of the month I have so many reports to prepare

Aww pele. It is well dearie.

How's the little guy doing jare?

..

TV01:
All things being equal, I would say it is. No gainsaying. It gives you that much more time and leeway to do pretty much everything


TV

Hi TV long time, how's family and work?

@bold , Care to develop that into examples (in simple terms too, I'm working so can't really browse synonyms )

Brandnew2:
I told you.

E sweet baje , Gbowode video is not released yet.

Going by the bolded, my husband is a carnivore and I should be scared when he says... 'baby let me eat you'.

I should even be very scared of Yoruba's popular

'E ma lo ra yin gbo; e ma lo ra yin pe'

You both will use yourselves old; You both will use yourselves for long.

Context matters

Do you watch SUITS and what are you on about with context bull?

Was the post anyway adressed to you? I've told you several times to stop quoting me and mind your own business girl. Gosh.

I'm a virgin don't corrupt me here

coogar:
to each his own.
no age is late for male/female. the crux is getting it right. what's the essence of marrying early & getting kicked out of the marriage?

if a man waits till age 40 to get the right partner, he's better than the guy that married at 25 who is facing divorce or domestic abuse. it's not about how long, it's about how well!

YES SIR

koyyes:
I know someone who got married at the age of 18. She didn't live long to see her first child get married or see her first grand child. Life is not a competition. It's filled with uncertainties that one cannot foresee.

and we have aged parents in Nursing homes without a single visit from their numerous children they had @15 in years.

Children are blessings and should be seen as one .... Not a cogent determinant factor of 'Early Marriage'.

So I listen to Wazobia Fm every other night , gotta tell you that presenter is hilarious.

So she actually has a truck full of recipents in quest for bride/hubby search , that's quite refreshing.

I enjoy it tho.

..

SUITS fans..

What did you think of Racheal Zane's reaction when Mike Ross told her She's now his property after the proposal? For a Lady who can hold her own, secured for life, good family background, great career & independent to boot... I expected a tantrum not a passionate kiss

'You don't own me , ain't superior , Blah blah'

RAW GOBE !

In 1995, Peter Davies was on holiday in Nigeria after graduating from Louisiana State University .

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the University of Ibadan Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1995, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same _fucking elephant.


This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullsh1t stories. _Fuck you all!

Yes naa..free money In short I was the sufferhead in ny hostel back then. When people had moved to Samsung/Sony Erricsson phones, I was still using 3310.

In short let me go and tax hubby for all the pocket money he should have been giving me when we were courting

I am making my hair on Saturday he must pay for it

Shikin change , Hehe I'm sure bros can take care of that afteral we don marry una , million braids on the house

On a serious note, Ta lo fefijo? Taking money/gifts from boys was a taboo until I briefly stayed in hostel and saw gbogbo big girls doing whatsup gee , thank goodness I have a generous dad who even though saw me through my lies but kuku gave me anyway in order to belong. Then my cousins often ju some ibinu shoes and crested polo shirts I rocked with my leggs & Levi jeans .. I tried but Na anarobuka level I dey. That's what we call jamanjaman

Ive flown the nest when GSM (10k MTN SIM card) came so I didn't get oppressed much else na to use cow horns

tearoses:
This "money sharing" is the cause of so many master slave marriages today
The man thinks he bought her
. . . .and the woman thinks that she cant live without his money because she becomes accustomed to a certain standard which is higher than her own earnings.

Gifts fine, (which should be 2 sided IMO) but to expect a bf to pay for day to day expenses . . then NO!!!!. You are only just boxing yourself into a corner and if you jam an abuser, then it will result in tears.

They will never listen.

Be established
Get a job
Stop Longthroating
Be content with what you have
Do something
Stop WAITING for prince effing charming coz you can be a breadwinner yourself.

If that's not empowering rather than crying blue murder after being boxed to blue black, I don't know what is.

I remember how they would come to sell gold in my office back then and I would excuse myself when it has pased my power, my colleagues would ask why I could not afford it knowing I lived at home and my fiancé was 'abroad' .'Does he not give you allowance' was the question I used to get. 'Allowance' ke am I working for him ni? I never got the compulsory 'pocket money' send weekly recharge card , pay for hair buy mobile phone thing.



E be like say the women in my family like sufferhead We didn't/don't have 'head' for 'allowance' 'pocket money' giving boyfriends chai.Cos I know its the same for my sister. My parents sure did a number on us.

Hehe Dami abeg I no fit laugh.
