Baba ,so you dey use eye of when you take see your wife dey judge the finished nowadays girls? Those days is not these days o.. Even ladies of now knows that the are not wife able anymore.. Deep down they know the truth. I know of one whose traditional marriage was days away ,and still came for hookup of 25k ,somewhere at Asaba. My happiness is that most guys are wiser in handling them now.. They can’t eat their cake and still have it. Except for the Simpsons who are unfortunate. Non premium and Premium can’t be treated same way.. You talk maturely and I regard you for that..

Well said, but the earth has not stopped moving round. At any period, there are the good and the bad. People will continue to marry and build families of their own so you don't classify all the ladies as being unmarriageable.
It is a personal thing. Just know what you want for yourself, cool down and look for it, you get it.
Why I object to virginity as a standard is that wẹ pray for long life.
When you marry at 30+, you are hoping to live 60+ with your wife right!
Now that virginity you crave as a standard will disappear on the first day of marriage. So what do you think that would keep you going when you encounter the challenges of marriage and life. Is it the same virginity that you made your standard that has now gone.
So look deeper, that journey is deep surely not about being a virgin only.
This is my message to you.

BigYash:
When the guy talks about wanting a virgin,he knows what he is talking about.. And I think I get it from his point of view. The society blives a virgin woman has respect for herself atleast,unlike those who sell their bodies for a plate of rice and few naira notes. Would you want to marry a woman like that? You are still talking in parable.. What do you want in a woman yourself? You think marrying a carrier Or educated woman will make her a good wife? I doubt you are married or being in serious relationship before. Lol

We all have specs and we have personal criteria with which one will choose a wife from the numerous ladies we have around.. If her being a virgin is one of my own criteria,Oga leave am. And if marrying Olosho is one of yours,Oga me sef go dey look you..
Person when wan marry virgin knows why o... You wan get peace with someone whom over 150 different men don nack? Dey play

Well, I have heard you and you have heard me as well.
I am not only married but some of my children have graduated from the university. I am not thinking of marrying again neither am I regretting my marriage. It is not about me.
At this stage , I can only advise the upcoming ones. If they like, they listen.
So I am not talking in parables. I am saying it as it is.
But like you said, everyone is free to go for what he wants.
But, no come back to the complain to us. We don't want that.

BigYash:
Make the greater things sha be good luck ,money,more contracts and more connections.. if not en,Oga nothing you wan tell me..

If these are the things you want from a woman, sure there are millions out there who will do it for you.
But the problem is you. When you want to befriend or marry, you go for a street or a village girl in the name of illusive respect or virgin. Then you come to tell us how difficult marriage is.
You should have the gut to go for what you want, they are every where.
Virginity is an illusion, matured men don't take it into consideration when looking for a wife.
Forget about that guy who talks of virgins here. He is only exhibiting his immaturity.
There are things in women that are far greater than being a virgin. But you will only need to discover it yourself. Nobody will tell that.

Well, many are here blaming the girl friend. But people lie when they are afraid.
What if the guy is the unapproachable type, Now she lied because she was afraid of his reactions.
So we cannot conclude without hearing from her, the guy should check whether the girl friend is afraid of him.
The biggest red flag is when your girlfriend or wife is afraid of you and your reactions to everyday issues.

Flows001:
Lol.

It's painful no doubt, but the ONLY way out is to marry a virgin!

My current babe is a virgin, I dey hold am like egg, her type no plenty for this our generation.

May God help us o

Guy, this your virgin egg is an illusion. There are things in women that are greater than being a virgin, so chill.

Boulex:
I voted for His Excellency, Sir PETER GREGORY OBI 💯

You are progress minded. That problem will roll away soon.
I am appealing to all progressive obidients to come to the aid of this brother. 1k here and there will make a difference in his situation.
Be rest assured that helps will come your soon.

Boulex:
What question exactly Sir?

Whom did you vote for in the last presidential election in Nigeria?

CyrusVI:
Guy rest

4 out of the 5 Govs in the SE still pays 18k minimum wage in 2024, not even the 30k yet, if thats the rubbish you want us to emulate, abeg we no dey do


Imagine my state paying 18k in 2024

Make una dey vote una rubbish for there abeg

Are we not saying the same thing? The time minimum wage was 18k, a bag of rice was 8k and exchange rate was 140 to a dollar.
Now you pay 70k minimum wage and a bag of rice is 85k and exchange rate is 1600 to a dollar.
So which one is better? And you say we should not complain, we should applaud the government, that they are doing well.

Boulex:
Thanks for responding to that boy, bro. Imagine someone asking me who I voted for in the last election? Such an idiotic comment. Nairaland needs to do something fast about some of these miscreants

Man, you will need to answer that question first so that we will know the beginning of the problem we want to solve

CyrusVI:
So you actually think any of the Presidential candidates would have eradicated poverty in Nigeria

How we share country with people with this reasoning is funny


You would think everyone in Anambra is living in abundance with the way these guys talk. Myopic

Your approach to governance makes a lot of difference. You people will keep defending nonsense. We are not talking of eradicating poverty but what of common foods for the people.
I don't know your age, but have you seen this kind of situation in Nigeria before. I mean during the military era and after it.
Is it right that one will turn the economy of a country upside in his first day in office. Even if you want to make reforms, should it not be gradual.
I can tell you that people in Eastern Nigeria did not go through this kind of suffering during the Nigerian civil war.
How do you defend an administration in which the recently increased minimum wage cannot buy a bag of rice. In your own assessment, you think no one will make a difference in Nigeria's situation.
Believe me a sixteen year old boy as president will make a difference in governance in Nigeria now. This is the worst we can ever get.

This is the Tinubu effect we are talking about.
He increased their allocation by 40% And their expenses by 400%. And his supporters are celebrating and want everyone to be clapping for him.
Is this not the problem every other person is facing.
He increased minimum wage by over 100%, yet the new minimum wage cannot buy a bag of rice.
Celebrating tuition loan to students that cannot concentrate because of hunger and insecurity.
Tinubu has nothing good to offer Nigerians. Those still deceiving themselves should realize it now.

DeLaRue:
There is no equivalence with what is happening with the Chinese company.

The Chinese company had a lawful written contract which Ogun State government appears to have breached unlawfully. So they are right to pursue their claims in court.

In Landmark's case, even if Landmark was Chinese, American or from Mars, it would have no justiciable claim in any court, whether in Nigeria or abroad.

You cannot base a claim on an illegality.

For example, you put a tennis court on your neighbour's land because the man is not around. When the neighbour returns at a future date, he has a right to tell you to remove the tennis court, because he wants to build on his land.

Instead of accepting and removing the tennis court, you rush to the media including CNN to accuse your neighbour of wickedness and of victimising you.

So your neighbour should abandone his own project just because you say so.

Look at your analogy again. So you think that someone will just wake and begin to construct or build on any land just like that.

SonofLagos:
oga stop deflecting and tell us your state so we can compare and know if you have running water in every home, maybe Lagos can learn something or are you ashamed to mention your state

In Quora now, a foreigner is comparing Lagos and Nairobi Kenya. We Nigerians there were ashamed. Lagos is to be compared with Cairo, Triopli, Algiers and Co not with a state in Nigeria.
Over there , they are talking of gas pipes in homes, clean streets, uninterrupted power, ease of movement and doing business.
Here we are talking of tared streets and pipe water and you are arguing.
If you want comparison , go and compare Lagos with those cities in Africa.

SonofLagos:
proudly Lagos, and now tell me your state if you are proud to tell us and so we can compare with the development in my state Lagos and also know if you have water in every home

That is not the topic. Stop defending nonsense.
There is no bases for comparison between Lagos and any state in Nigeria because 1/1000 of what Gowon spent in Lagos is no spent in any state in Nigeria.
Stop glorifying yourself.

naptu2:
Comusurate.

Thanks for the correction. The computer will give auto words and when one is not careful , he will not notice it.

SonofLagos:
tell me the state you come from so I can give you an appropriate answer y’all from shitty region without any form of development will come to Lagos and criticise like where you coming from is any better

You, tell me your own state if you think you are making sense. The topic here is about Lagos elitist projects. If you don't have anything to say, simply keep quiet.

SonofLagos:
so I guess the trains used by the masses are also elitist? Or have you seen a dangote or otedola Taking the train rides? You dolt just try so hard to sound intelligent whereas you are a complete opposite…channel that energy to your failed state.

Man, just tell me the area you live in Lagos. Every time you people like to defend nonsense.
How many streets have pipe water in Lagos? Remove the old LGs like yaba, surulere, and others how many roads in other areas are tared?
I live at Ago, okota, upon all the imposing buildings here no street is tared except some done by individuals. No street has pipe water just like most areas in Lagos. So what are defending?

Lagos and it's elitist projects.
Internal roads are zero, unpassable and very dirty streets.
The roads in all the statilite towns where the real people live are zero..Water supply is zero.. dilapidated and dirty streets everywhere.
The development in Lagos is not inclusive and comusurate with its status as mega city.

They said for the past 8 years, they have not been paying any subsidy.
So what happens to all the budgetary allocations under Buhari?
Most times people tell lies on top of lies thinking that they are smart and others are fools.
Tinubu should continue to fool himself not Nigerians.

AK481:
Tinubu have killed these ones.

What is MNK life worth that tinubu is ready to sacrifice all the armed forces and not release mnk so that they may be peace

That's the simple solution they failed to understand. Let them keep chasing shadows and sacrificing the life innocent security personnel by holding MNK.
The country keeps losing the security personnel every now and then yet the president doesn't care. I have not seen a country like Nigeria. Many people have appealed to the president from different angles to release this man so that peace will return to the East but he refused. Let's keep watching.

Tinubu said that he would continue where Buhari stopped.
The more you keep holding Namdi Kalu is the more you keep wasting the life of the security personnel in the East. It is as simple as that.
New Presidents all over the world when sworn in would first review the cases of political prisoners. But our own president is interested in inflicting maximum hardship on the people.
RIP to the slain officers.

Tinubu removed subsidy without any plan or understanding of what it is.
He then devalue the Naira without another understanding.
Now subsidy got annoyed and bounced back at 400%.
These are the true positions we know all these while. Tinubu is paying more subsidy than past administration.
They don't want to accept the reality on on ground. He has only succeeded in grounding the country.

@ op, I am above the age you stated but I can understand your fears.
The problem is that many youths don't have inquisitive minds. The mind to learn new things always. Many relaxed after graduating from the high institution.
Today, we hear things like Fx, cloud, crypto, AI, web dev, digital marketing and many of such things but a lot of people don't know what they are or care to know. This is the problem.
Try to acquire a new knowledge at every opportunity. They will make the difference you need in your life. Don't think that it is for them or that it is for specific persons or not important.
Today they talk of AI, well somebody like me will not rest until I know what AI is all about and whether it something I will be interested in.
So my advice is for the youths to be very inquisitive, always find time to learn a new thing. One simple knowledge can make the difference you never think of.

angelboy01:
APC will still win it and I will tell you why, Obi has his own cult group already. If the North decides to field Jonathan it will still look like the case of Atiku at the end. So the votes will still be divided and at the end of the day Jagaban will win it. It's just the pure truth and not like I'm an APC supporter.

Okay, if the North withdraw 50% of the over 4 million votes they gave to Tinubu, where do you think that Tinubu will replace it from to win.

Love800:
These other dues you mentioned, is it the same with import duty or its on its own?

They are not part of import duty. Import duty is collected by Customs. These ones are mainly services of private sector. Some of them are paid in foreign currency. This is the real thing. Tinubu is not ready to solve the hunger issues.

When I said that removing import duty on rice would not have any effect on the price as the economy is now, some people were quoting to disagree with me.
This is the same thing that is happening now to flour.
Unfloating the Naira is the only thing that would make an impact on the Nigerian economy right now. Not all these cut and join policies.

Solseal007:
I beg to disagree I sell cars, if u don't pay import duties on an item, ur prices will significantly be different

This staple food tax free is absolute though and u don't add up to the landing cost

Selling cars is a different ball game. Let's say the price of an item is 500 Naira. Then Tinubu policy pushed it to 2000 Naira. Then when it came to 1800 you celebrate that the price has come down. This is the kind of thing we see in the country now.
But tell me how much you think a bag of rice would sell under this policy.

There is nothing to rejoice for yet because this will have very little or no impact on the prices of food.
The Import duty being removed is one out of over 20 other dues paid on imports, Cost, insurance, freight, Ecowas levy, surcharge, Vat, shipping, terminal, handling etc.
With the exchange rate and transportation costs, every thing is equal to square one.
Tinubu has to unfloat the Naira for the economy to to be impacted.

nurey:
Instead of condemning the act, some people have turned the thread into a tribal war. Did the hoodlums asK the passengers what tribe they belong b4 stealing and attacking them.

Igbos and Yoruba youths have a lot of orientation to pass through cause rather than think with their brain they rather prefer to drag each other in the mud

But we have to talk about the root of the problem first. Or are you pretending not to know that those hoodlums abi Agbero are organs of Lagos state Government which they pampers and use during elections and protests.

YoungBlackRico:
Been through all your five states, say something else .

I can bet you any amount that you haven't traveled to any state in the East.
I saw beggars for the first time when I came to Lagos.
Then in the North, it was full-time occupation for both the able and disabled.
So say something else yourself.

YoungBlackRico:
Wait, I thought igbos don't beg for alms. Aren't beggars supposed to be "from other regions"?

*. Igbos are not hungry
*. Igbos don't do menial jobs
*. Igbos don't do agbero/tout
*. All igbos are rich/made
*....and every other of their wishful thinkings, but the facts on ground always negate all these lies.

They say travel and see instead you here writing nonsense.
