I know pple would say this, but to some extent, the guy is ok and i also have my job, its not abt having money or not. Atleast all my relationships, most of my ex had nothing when i was with them. It just didn't work.
I'll advise you to re-evaluate your criteria of selecting a partner.

Women who run from one pastor to the other are red flags and not wife materials. They get deceived and manipulated by these so called men of God. If you are wise u better block his number and stop seeing him. But hey na woman we know how it goes. The guy probably has no money too, if he had you would have married him
So? Others can have a spec, but she shouldn't?

You just confirmed that they showed you to him as your husband but you said you rather remain single...well seems you have already made your choice, but at 32, I hope you realize your offers are limited instead of nagging like a 21year old lady.

Good luck tho...
She doesn't need "offers". What she needs is a compatible partner.

But it's underpaid for it as the supply contract was in South African Rand which has lost a lot of value over the years.

In South Africa, it estimated that 1 job is created for every 8 tourist that visits the country. South Africa's per capita income is $6,000. Lesotho with about $1,500 should be able to create a job from every 2 visitors.

If it just aimed to get half a million visitors a year to the country, there'll be an economic boom. The country is very beautiful. If advertised as Africa's Switzerland, it will lead to a rush of tourists. Since the country is within South Africa, package tours can include it.

However, overdependence on tourism can be dangerous. That's a lesson from Sri Lanka. It has a flourishing textile sector. It should do more to encourage more investors. It can also promote itself as a tax haven and introduce policies to achieve this. South African investors would rush in if they've not done so already.
Thanks for this analysis. I have learnt one or two new things today from your post.

Goodevening all, i have been wanting to get peoples opinion about something that has been bothering me.
I am a lady in my early 30s, 32 to be precise. I have had like 3 relationships that failed. Among of them is a guy i dated for 6 years but later ended the relationship because i got a job and at the time but he didn't have a job, he ended the relationship due to some certain decisions he took.
I am a kind of person that believe strongly in God and things of the spiritual, i later met a pastor guy that was assisting me in prayers but to my surprise this guy started telling me that God has told him to marry me. I told him immediately that i am not interested, i had a dream once about him where they showed him to me that he is my husband, i woke up and prayed against it. It was this time that i told him to stop any prayers he has been doing for me if his intentions was to marry me.
I educated him of how marriages are crashing this days even the ones that loved themselves dearly, i also educated him about how wifes are killing husbands and husbands are killing wives but i think this guy has refused to listen.
I got a call from his so called " spiritual father " sometimes last month and the man was telling me all the implications of not marrying him that if i want my journey to be fast in life then its him that i should marry.
I immediately told the spiritual father that its not possible and I won't marry someone i am not emotionally attached to, I'd rather remain single all my life than go into a marriage that i know won't last 6 month all in the name of God told me to marry him.
I know there are people who are wiser than me concerning marriage issues, i know there are people who have been in the same issue as i am now, please how do you pple cope, is there a punishment when you don't marry who God wants you to marry?
How am i sure its not this guy that's messing in my head?
For the fact that i am in my marriageable age doesn't mean i should push mysef into what I don't want.
I am sorry for the long epistle �
Let no one make you feel guilty about not marrying someone you have zero connection with. The pastor and his "spiritual father" are just messing with your head.

Cut that man off completely. And any time he appears in your dreams as your husband like he did before, cancel it. In fact, rebuke that dream! grin Remind God that His word says He'll fulfill the desires of your heart according to His riches in glory and the man is not your desire in any way.

Don't be threatened by that spiritual father talking about implications of not marrying his spiritual son. Nothing will happen to you. God will not punish you for not marrying someone you have no connection with. Ask yourself this -- Those men you dated that perhaps went on to marry other women, did God punish them for not picking you? Why then should you be singled out for punishment?

You don't desire the pastor and that's that. You cannot fake neither can you manufacture connection/desire.

Punishment indeed. What nonsense! angry

Cutehector:
Well, i tell people, live with the outcome of every Decision you make. If you go and date another man and he breaks your heart, blame yourself for your decision.

Joseph was not even romantically attached to Mary but he adhered to the instruction of The Lord and became her spouse.
The archetypal emotional kidnap.

She should marry the pastor out of fear of having her heart broken by other men? And what makes you think the pastor will not be the one to break her heart?

That pastor is just a predator taking advantage of a lonely, vulnerable woman. He's in fact colluded with his "spiritual father" to brainwash the OP into believing that there will be spiritual consequences should she reject his proposal.

Nothing will happen to her, same way nothing has happened to all the men who rejected girls they never connected with.

Apparently when her late husband wanted to marry her, she initially declined his proposal saying that she does not see herself spending the rest of her life cleaning tea cups as somebody's housewife, but the man (Denis) told her that it's precisely the reason he wanted to be with her. grin

Babe! You done sabi them finish. I am quite convinced these guys have my profile bookmarked and some follow me with dummy accounts. I could comment in the most dead section of Nairaland and in seconds they would be swarming there.
Time they can use to be productive members of society, they use it to bully ladies online. I saw a screenshot of one who even followed you to your food blog to leave a "nasty" comment there. That one had 'toxic Nairaland male' written all over.

Later they claim I need their attention. Wetin I dey use these ones do? If they don’t quote me, I won’t quote them. If you quote me with nonsense, just pray it is a good day. In the past I had rules of engagements. But did they? I had some wishing me death and rape. There was one that said my beloved dad would die in an accident. Because say I be feminist and you no like my views. Ment or what?
I'm not even shocked considering some boys on this site are murderers and rapists yet still so brazen about it. See, your beloved papa, the one who has played a significant role in making you the confident and disciplined lady that you are, ah! I send 7 blessings his way! May he live to play with his great-great-grandchildren. May he be of sound health. May his children bring him joy. May he always shine his 32. Poverty will never know his home. May the village people never locate him. May he be surrounded by well-wishers. ISEEEEEEEEEEE!! AAMIN!! AAMIN!! AAMIN!! cool

Come at with me with nonsense and I would descend on you. My reputation precedes me.

@ topic,

I'm getting "married" vibes from that man. It's not illegal to date a much younger girl, but I'd be very wary of any man that age lurking around my 18-year old daughter.

Most of you dudes are lying to yourselves if you think you'll look the other way if a middle-aged man had romantic interests in your teenage daughters. You won't sleep well at night and you know it. Let's quit the pretence.

Gbam!

They whine like wild dogs whenever they're given what they dish to others. grin "Don't attack people's loved ones", "It's not fair to involve people's mothers".... When they're busy throwing missiles at pocohantas, do they consider that she's also somebody's loved one? Do they remember that she could be (or will be) somebody's mother? Do they ever consider that? Eh?

Poco is in fact a very sober and balanced girl. She never bullies anyone on the forum, and only responds to those who attempt to bully her (unsuccessfully if I may add cheesy).

What I came to realize is that most of these boys are driven by jealousy because she seems to have a lot going for her. Always going ad hominem on her even when it's a topic about cars or food, thinking they can silence her. They cannot even let her comment on a health topic in peace. She comments on fashion, they attack. She responds to a topic on career, they attack. Kilode!?! One begins to wonder what mental illness these miscreants suffer from. They should tackle the "village people" and the politicians responsible for their miserable lives and leave her alone! angry

Good thing about her is that she's got the mental stamina of 10,000 Spartan warriors. You won't take her down. You won't! grin She reminds me of one XhosaNostra. That lady could tackle 11 boys on a thread and she'd be left standing, much to my delight. grin

It's simply about "Soft Life." This trend, the rise of it... I don't think anyone who has been on any social media network hasn't heard of that phrase. (And a luxury lifestyle on the side).

For sometime, though, hearing that term has been rubbing me up in some weird, odd way.

And now I just came across a tweet that spurred me again.

https://twitter.com/NonhleBeryl/status/1579571242914713600?t=oPwgeUenuOfKtKeP2zVDLQ&s=19

Perhaps it might pick up more traction later on, but I would love to hear you ladies thoughts.
About this, staying away from social media has kept me in the dark about quite a number of these so-called "trending topics". I only get to know about them from loved ones and acquaintances or when they appear as trending searches on Google. I'll honestly say I've heard zilch about this "Soft Life" trend but I can guess what it's all about. cheesy

Regarding the above tweet, I believe people have always strived to pursue certain things in life for reasons as simple as fitting into societal expectations or reasons as crazy as peppering friends and relations. It has only taken a new dimension since the advent of social media because, unlike in the past, where you had to be a part of someone's circle to even know where they worked, where they lived and what their houses looked like, all one needs to do nowadays is to be a friend of a friend on Facebook and a connection of a connection on LinkedIn and all the details about Mr. X, Mrs. Y and Miss Z will be there for everyone to see. Most times these personal (and sometimes untrue) details are deliberately uploaded to have a desired effect on village people, imaginary haters, ex-lovers, former schoolmates, former colleagues, etc.

It's not just about a 23-year old wishing to have the accomplishments of a 40-year old, most times it's peer competition. Jane wants to visit Seychelles because she saw Mary flaunting her travel pictures on FB. Peter takes a loan to buy a car because he spotted John, a guy he knew from his former neighbourhood posting a picture of himself posing in his car.
Of course there are people who are bound to feel like failures whenever they compare themselves with other people on social media, especially when you come from a society where everyone begins their "insults" with "your mates are.....[insert success index], while you're still....[insert index of failure]". cheesy

I don't see the situation getting any better. I'm very pessimistic about the effect of social media on young people's mental health. Unfortunately.

Why is it that most Africans will never attribute the success of a marriage to anything positive? Why is it always attributed to endurance, tolerance and perseverance?

Why are attributes such as loyalty, friendship, kindness, good humour, responsibility, sensitivity, appreciation, emotional intelligence, deep connection, etc rarely mentioned?

Why are we inclined to believe that marriages are sustained by struggles?

How brain dead women are to think only about the present, and not the future. How brain dead women are to judge a man not by his character but by his money. How of a leech and dumb women are to go into marriage to collect and consume, instead of to give and support.
How men claim to desire humble, homely women, only to walk down the aisle with the "brain dead" money-minded women they claim to despise.

How they kick out women who actually support them when they are broke for the very same "leeches" they pretend to hate.

How they pretend to be gurus and philosophers when they are broke but turn to "enjoy women abeg", "we live only once", "we're polygamous by nature", "our culture allows polygamy" when they finally become financially stable.

We can all pretend that gold-diggers are undesirable, but we all know who men pick when they have options. Yep! The "leeches".

Don't be deceived by those exaggerated stories about the "fight for independence". Yes, there were rebellions from certain regions, but we were "given" independence.
