Ayooade:I'll advise you to re-evaluate your criteria of selecting a partner.
|
ednut1:So? Others can have a spec, but she shouldn't? |
Slynation:She doesn't need "offers". What she needs is a compatible partner. |
grandstar:Thanks for this analysis. I have learnt one or two new things today from your post. |
Ayooade: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! 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! ![]() |
Cutehector: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. |
grandstar:And also exports water to SA. Water is one of Lesotho's biggest exports. @ topic, it's a very beautiful country. |
GloriousGbola: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. ![]() Oya, why don't you also admit that these tough women are your type? I've also seen you "sympathising" with kray kray women, claiming that they come with explosive totos. ![]() |
pocohantas: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!! ![]() Come at with me with nonsense and I would descend on you. My reputation precedes me.I trust you and I stand gidigba with you. ![]() |
GloriousGbola:So that's how you choose to remember the Iron Lady? ![]() |
@ 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. |
thorpido:Gbam! They whine like wild dogs whenever they're given what they dish to others. "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 ). 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! ![]() 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! 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. ![]() #IStandWithPoco |
Prosperous111:Did being a woman deter Margaret Thatcher from being the Prime Minister of the UK for 11 years? |
begoniaa:You're welcome. ![]() |
bukatyne:Seconded. |
BRATISLAVA:Told ya! You'll never miss it! |
So even if you're just a security guard or a garden boy, when we love you, we love you.
|
begoniaa: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. ![]() 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]". ![]() I don't see the situation getting any better. I'm very pessimistic about the effect of social media on

begoniaa:Hey begoniaa! I've just logged in after being away for a while, so I have just seen your mention. I will be back with my thoughts about this issue. Have a pleasant evening. ![]() |
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? |
folake4u:Folake, keep which gbola for one place? He is naturally polygamous so shouldn't be blamed for anything. The whistle blower should take the blame.
|
BRATISLAVA:The blame goes to the girl's parents. It's their fault that they couldn't protect their daughter from a rapist on the prowl. The rapist shouldn't be blamed at all... The nerve of these imbeciles! |
GloriousGbola:Since most men are weak-willed, they're here to stay then, huh? |
pansophist: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". |
See "banditry" written all over his face.
|
mirinder:Do you approach women in the streets? |
GloriousGbola: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. Let no history book fool you into believing that the colonialists "succumbed" to our "unmatched" military tactics! We weren't all that.Which craze are you talking about? Glorious, my pipu are cowards. They bark a lot but rarely bite. Their bravado starts and ends on Twitter. Our leaders commit every atrocity in the book because they know that they'll get away with it! They openly and shamelessly rig elections, loot public funds, hire only their (mostly unqualified) tribesmen and relatives in national establishments, grab people's land and properties and we can do NOTHING. My pipu like to parade themselves as a model of democracy and development in Africa but they're just a pathetic country with narcissistic citizens who overrate their significance. They're somewhere on Nairaland (a 1,400-page thread) trying to convince themselves and others that they are worthy to be idolised when in reality they're at best mediocre. IMO, SA citizens are some of the most fearless in the continent. They don't just bark, they bite and everyone knows this. ![]() |

How miserable men are rushing to the thread to shame the ladies for rejecting broke suitors.

pocohantas:Didn't this happen in Togo as well? Eyadéma dies after ruling for 38 years, son takes over? ![]() You may also have heard about Equatorial Guinea, Gabon's next-door neighbour. Their president Obiang Nguema has been in power since 1979. 1979 o! His son Nguema Obiang is the current vice President. That country is their personal property I swear. I hate my country of birth for many reasons, but I can still afford to count my blessings whenever I compare her to the likes of Togo, Equatorial Guinea, Chad, South Sudan and Nexdoria. |
