BRATISLAVA:You can see it is. ![]() |
GloriousGbola:No problem. But just be sure to enforce (and if possible adjust to) the recommended speed limits. ![]() |
Houseofglam7:Sure. Suicides and homicides are vices distinct to Kenya.
|
GloriousGbola:That's a very accurate statement. ![]() I like promicious womenYou no dey like virgins again? ![]() |
eddie7:I understand you were probably making the commentary in jest, but then again, this is Nairaland and someone reading your statement may take your word as God's own truth, retain it, and echo it elsewhere. I assure you. Afterall, is it not on this same forum where some mammals believe that shît is stored in the arse, taking antibiotics after sex is a contraceptive method, and big bréasts are an indication of promiscuity in women? For the sake of the zombies who never question anything they read on NL, 'Nairobi' comes from the Maasai phrase 'Enkare Nyrobi', which translates to “cool waters" or "the place of cool waters". It really has nothing to do with the Naira nor Peter Obi. |
@ topic, I wish I had ventured into business/self-employment earlier than I did. |

Klass99:Oooh, so he's one of "them"? ![]() Never had any prior direct or indirect interactions with him, as we probably don't even follow the same topics. |
folake4u:You're welcome young lady. ![]() |
Magnoliaa:Yes, it was a modified mention. I couldn't think of anything else to write at the time. ![]() |
Klass99:Done. ![]() |
Magnoliaa:There you go. ![]()

folake4u: Really? I initially thought so but I had my doubts. I guess "Emma" threw me off. Hehehe.... |
@ Persephone1, everyone here knows that Fárfalla has got nothing but love for Naija girls and I'm usually at the front line defending them when need arises. I am a bit distressed that you imagine I'm deliberately painting a derogatory picture of Naija women while passing it off as a compliment. Cattiness isn't my style at all at all. Substitute Nigerian with whatever nation you are from in your initial post, read through then judge if you would smile while reading.My candid opinion? I'd applaud them. Good thing is they are rapidly discarding mumu love for logical love, and it's a development I most welcome. Lol @ fire. Honestly i'm trying very hard not to do that, believe me.I said what I said and my intention was never to bash Nigerian women in any way. How you choose to interpret it is out of my hands. Feel free to fire but I'm done discussing this particular matter. Good afternoon. |
Klass99:My point exactly. If she interpreted it as derogatory then perhaps I need to work on my writing skills. I'm off to the gym. |
I love Pink. |
Persephone1:Before we proceed, kindly put your sword back in its sheath. I'm not here to attack Nigerian women. I've never even had the need to. Surely without me adding a disclaimer you ought to have known that my post does not imply that there are no independent women in Nigeria. That is not what I implied at all at all. I used Telemundo as an analogy to describe blind love. Mumu love. The kind of love you find in soap operas and novels. Replace it with any other vocabulary of your own. And guess what? Not all Nigerian men can afford to give cars, trips, phones or whatever yet they find NIGERIAN WOMEN who love them dearly.Of course not all Nigerian men can afford material stuff. If they could, this site would not be as toxic as it is. But you should also ask yourself why they're the ones who keep yammering about "hustling so women will come" more than any other group of men in Africa. Nigerian Women aren't entitled! Hell no! It is not entitlement when you follow laid down rules, norms and culture. Men Provide in Nigerian culture, all the woman needs to bring is her submission, her beauty, her feminity and her womb. The entitlement mentality projected on mainstreams are by men who want to eat their cakes and have it. Men who don't have the ability to provide for their women but still want to Lord over them. Men who want to change the status quo halfway and expect a balance result. And like the ever non accountable being these men are, they would rather blame the women for their own deficiency.Go through my post again Persephone. Are we surely not saying the same thing regarding this? If a Nigerian woman interprets gifts and acts of service as love, like your 2k , Phone, car, trip analogy, shes not wrong because it is how an average Nigerian man express love and affection. A Nigerian man will not do telemundo love, nah.. He express love by providing and taking care of his object of attraction.And isn't this my point? This is what I mean when I say that Nigerian girls (in general) understand this at an early age. Why then does it seem like you are overreacting to something we both agree on? If a Nigerian woman interprets gifts and acts of service as love, like your 2k , Phone, car, trip analogy, shes not wrong because it is how an average Nigerian man express love and affection.I also don't remember mentioning anywhere that there's anything wrong with her interpretation of love. Nowhere. There are independent ladies in lovely relationships too.No doubt about that. Putting all Nigerian Women in a box for some misconception is totally unfair! The sad part is guys who sell untrue stories to foreigners like you comport themselves better, let go of a lot of things just to fit in with you. This makes it so hard to correct the misconception about Nigerian Women.About this. No, I'm not putting ALL Nigerian women in a box. And secondly, please don't assume that I am informed about the Nigerian society from a narrative being sold to me. My interaction with Nigeria and Nigerians is deeper than you know. Way deeper than you imagine. The summary of my post is this - Nigerian women (whether independent or otherwise) are generally smarter in relationship matters. That's a compliment by the way, so you can hold your fire, will you? |
sisitito01:Did you recently change your lip balm? Or your face wash/soap? Or your facial moisturiser? Or your sunscreen? Maybe you're reacting to a new product. |
folake4u:A 20-year old Nigerian girl is already attracted to men who can give her material stuff. She will probably not pursue Telemundo love at the expense of wealth/comfort. Whatever gift she receives from a man serves as an index of his love for her. - 2K recharge = man likes me - An expensive phone = man loves me - A big car = man loves me very much - A trip to Accra = man loves me - A trip to Maldives = man loves me very much - Residential property in Lekki = man is my soulmate Naija girls know who to pick and who to avoid very early in life because they have this dire need to glitter and glitter they will. I guess it's what the other gender refer to as entitlement mentality. ![]() But you see the rest of us? Zimbabwéans, Ugandáns, Kényans, Maláwians, Tánzanians (mumu of them all), SÁ, Congolése, Rwandése, Éthiopians, Mozambiçans, Zambîans? We are generally hopeless. A yeye man, let's call him 'Ken', will come with very sweet words and the girls of these countries will fall for him. All he needs to do is hold her waist like one Alejandro or Eduardo in Telemundo, look into her eyes, tell her sweet nothings, kiss her sensitive spots and seal it with mind-blowing sex. That's it. A new pair of "soulmates" are unleashed into the world. No iPhone, no 2K recharge, no trips to exotic locations. Just pure love, devoid of materialism. As time goes by, reality sets in (at 31) and she finds herself in either of these two situations; 1. Ken is now her husband and she, the breadwinner of her family. They cannot chop love. Ken is now very comfortable being a kept man while she's busy forwarding his unsellable CV to her acquaintances. 2. Ken somehow managed to put himself together in the course of their courtship, acquired some finances, but married some other lady he's "compatible" with. The universe never rewarded her for foregoing materialism, rather, it rewarded the lady who wanted the glitter and went for it. Either way it suddenly hits the lady that Telemundo romance isn't reality and that financial stability in a man is a crucial aspect in relationships/marriage, despite the demonisation of gold-diggers. However, she's acquired this new-found knowledge at 32, while a Nigerian girl already knew this at 22. ![]() |
Klass99:Well, you always have this way of making me reveal stuff I'd rather keep out of Nairaland. CIA material.What do I do for fun and relaxation? Cure konji..!! That's the first thing that comes to mind. (You asked...!!)Let me just say, fun to me doesn't necessarily involve a crowd or anything like that. Never been a crowd person. Never been a party animal, not even when I was Folàké's age. I do go to the gym on some weekends whenever possible (such as tomorrow). Not fun at all at all. Not relaxing either but I sure do get a good night sleep later that day. I am a very introverted individual surrounded by extroverted somebodies who prefer the outdoors so sometimes they pester me into accompanying them to explore different places and I do it for them, out of love and obligation. Klass99:Loud? You mean expressive? ![]() Hypocritical and obnoxious people are everywhere Klass including where I am currently located. I admire Nigerian women because they set certain It's because their standards in men are much lower. Non-Nigerian women believe so much in love and romance, and learn very late that love doesn't conquer anything. Nigerian women learn very early what other African women learn at 38. ![]() |
Klass99:Klass, do you really want to know? ![]()
|
Magnoliaa:No sis. I am on the other side of the continent. My initial plan was to remain a neutral citizen on this forum but Klass "tortured" me on some other thread and compelled me to reveal my nationality. Klass99:Hehehe. I am one in spirit and I particularly admire Nigerian women. |
BRATISLAVA:I can't even begin to imagine the age-shaming and slut-shaming that would come her way. I'm 100% sure they'd label her an ashawo who wants to remain single so she can prostitute herself to different men. Or that she's a bitter old cargo who wasted her youth on irresponsible men and is now misadvising young girls because she can't find herself a man. They'll even claim she's had numerous abortions for different men and that she will never be able to conceive, hence her bitterness. There's no story on earth they'll not come up with. |
Parrot69:Now, replace woman with man. Can you imagine the insults you'd receive if you were a 39-year old woman who was single for the same reasons you've raised?

folake4u: ![]() Folake, as your therapist I need to ask, how was your childhood? |
GloriousGbola:Whoever encourages people that they can spice up their lacklustre sex lives through pörn should be tried and executed. ![]() Don't get me started on the föols who do role-playing administering whips and lashes. What nonsense! ![]() |
