TravelRe: Holding A Nigeria Passport Now, Identifies You As A Citizen Of A Lawless, Fraudu by Gerrard59(m): 4:01pm On Sep 17, 2024

A friend’s mum came to Canada recently with Turkish air. Flight was delayed/ cancelled in turkey . She was told Nigerian passport holders were not eligible to be lodged in the hotel overnight. She spent over 48 hours on the trip and slept at the airport in turkey. I was like nawa
As far as I can tell, that has been the new rule for more than six months. That is, the e-visa was scrapped for Nigerian passport holders and additional services were withdrawn.

What happened to Qatar Airways? It has better service compared to Turkish Airlines.

A whole lot of women absolutely do not insist on condoms. I can understand if they aren't even afraid of HIV but pregnancy lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
Probably linked to the high rate of ladies who cater for children without the presence of fathers. I dread both - unplanned pregnancy and STDs. I rather stock up dotted/ribbed condoms than have unprotected sex.

I reflected on all what you said yesterday, sir. And honestly the picture has become clearer for me. From all what you said, I would make sure I pair up with a lady who has something doing, even though she's a secondary school teacher or a petty trader. Or a lady who have completed or about to complete are tertiary education.

I would also consider the other option as per looking out for a northern non Muslim. Atleast thier parents allow them to work as they search for a partner. Thanks alot for this advise, Boss.
My pleasure.
Based on the bold, do you mean that Northern Muslim women or their parents don't work or have the interest to work?

What kind of jobs, skilled and semi-skilled, do Northern Christian women partake in?

Yes, pair with a lady who has something going for her. Na small small people dey build a financial stable home.

Kpata Kpata, they live in Singapore. So, why not Ghana for Kalu and his family?

Just yesterday on Instagram, I watched videos from Abia of how civil servants got paid after so many months or the first bus stop. Those people must have suffered a lot! Anytime I read something about Abia under Otti, I imagined how life was for the residents before him.

FamilyRe: Why Are Men Being Hypocrite In Situation Like This? by Gerrard59(m): 6:04pm On Sep 16, 2024
Kelechi009:
Hahaha you don vex cheesy

I am always perplexed why modern day women always expect men to give them money without anything in return, especially when I asked if she gives *HER OWN FRIENDS* any thing at all or sponsors her friends on a vacation. Notice, I said *HER FRIENDS* which means the people she holds dearly so not even a romantic partner. None of the women on this thread give to their friends that are dearest to their hearts but they want a total male stranger to give them every thing without nothing in return. I am really surprised because simple logical scenarios that women can use amongst themselves is never used for men, I mean look at the last time you have gifted a female friend or family member and ask yourself why you aren't doing more for people around you. So then why do think or want a stranger or male friend to do the same for YOU for absolutely nothing. This is just madness. If not that I want to preserve my culture, I would just marry outside of West Africa.
Wetin dey vex me be say na the cognitive dissonance and hypocrisies. You want a man to help you then after that, you run to Twitter to label all men as bad, cruel and scum. Then, why rely on men for your financial needs without working for it? You have young unmarried women insulting/mocking young bachelors whereas they sleep with married men. Tomorrow, these same spinsters are the ones who whine that men cheat on their wives and call for the destruction of the man. In the Ja.rus' case, there was a lady like that tweeted that the LASG should deal with him, only for everyone to know that Odanz had a mental visual remembrance of her vagina. Meanwhile, her supposed BF is a medical doctor based in the UK. Na mumu dey do long distance relationship sef. Or the other one who criticised a woman for seeing marriage as her all yet she tweeted how she loves a man but cannot have him to herself because he is married. Preach one thing, practice another.

Sometimes, I blame older men as they grew up in a different era, but hopefully, my generation draws the line between being a mistress and giving too much power to ungrateful beings. Na biology cause all these things. Sometimes, the illegality in Nigeria generates many money-miss-road men, plus the mentality most of our brothers have - literally using money to buy off women's attraction and attention.

On the financial aspect again, these women work for their money. The question is: what do they use it for? Recent studies have shown that single women outearn married women in certain professions and even slightly out-earn single men in some professions. In fact, if not for male testosterone which confers a higher advantage, women would have equal employment percentages with men across many industries. It is why I support the so-called solely female initiatives their ring leaders promote. Just that no one should cry when men replicate the same for young men. These are women who will never lend money to men for just having a broad chest and preek. So, after amassing employment opportunities and salaries men in yesteryears got, why do they want free money from the same men simply based on "I be woman o"? They asked for equality, and they got it. They should work for their money. No free lunch.

As for the bold, where else is different? Women are the same everywhere. That to me isn't really the issue, but the hypocrisy after collecting the money only to slander young men. Sha, dem go born boys and those ones will reap the benefits as the society is even harsher on boys who are/were solely raised by women.

se is very demanding and don't require distractions and also couple with the fact that I'm not that financially bouyant. Also considering the kind of young ladies we have today, it's difficult to find a lady whose understanding and supportive. And I need all the focus and attention I could get while pursuing my dream. Initially I've been thinking of getting married in my level two or three, but I'm now begining to have serio whose not working or running a business, a lady who will sit at home waiting for the man to fulfil all her financial needs, even though na Maggi she wan buy. ( Most northern women are like this)
But I can definitely take care of one or two kids while I continue schooling. I have a side hustle ( freelance writing). It is from this hustle that I've been saving for my studies and I believe from it I can still provide for my kid from now till the next seven years.


PS. I'm not an Hausa man, I'm an Edo Muslim who's very liberal.
I am quite interested in your case as life has made me see things from both sides of the divide in Nigeria - the haves and the haves not. First, I would advise you - man-to-man - to focus on your medical program as it is very demanding intellectually, financially and otherwise. You need to be prepared for the journey ahead it will take your entire body and soul. Your financial stability as a man is extremely important in how you are seen in society. Good thing you are studying a course with almost guaranteed employment, especially in the north. So, age does not really matter.

As for marriage and children, as much as these things are good in life, in today's world, money is extremely useful to enjoy them. It would be hard to navigate your medical program, wife and children without a consistent flow of income especially at a mature age. You might be worried about when you graduate centris-paribus, but I don't see any worry in that as your speciality is future-proof regardless of age and you will always find a much younger woman to pair with due to location. Most importantly, have fewer children so you have the time to cater for them adequately. No go born plenty children o. As for location, not only due to religious compatibility but cultural reasons as well, I strongly recommend that you focus on the northern region for a wife. You will have a hard time adjusting to the requests and life of a lady from the south, Christian or Muslim. Since you are liberal, how about Northern Christians?

As for the bolded text, do Northern Christian women behave like that with their men? That is, dem dey wait for the man to reach house before dem buy maggi?

I met her on a Facebook group because of her side hustle. I was interested because of her state of origin. A few weeks into the conversation, she expressed likeness for me. Meanwhile, I was solely interested in the side hustle business and her state of origin. A month later she mentioned how she ordered goods. I requested for the numbers and sent money (this doubled her initial capital). Only for her to ask me in less than a month for money as things are hard in Nigeria. How does that one concern me? Am I Tinubu? So, what about the goods you ordered? What about your job and second side hustle? what do you use your money for? Ah! I wondered if this is how talking stage people write on social media. I don't like it when people ask me for what I am not responsible for.

Looking back, I am glad I called it off and insisted we focus on the business side as she started talking about marriage. Me and marriage? shocked Also, I cannot partake in a long-distance relationship. It is a loss to a man, and thanks to Pansophist for one of his posts on that topic.

One also boldly told me she can't date a man with 2 legs rather 4 legs (a car). Atleast, if you can't date someone, courtesy demands you turn him down in a polite way but since they thought the man won't be anything in life and have rubbished him, they careless about his feelings or what he will pass through. 14 years later after altering those words to me, God turned my life around and I became better.
She saw me in a ride and called my line to meet me. I guess it was the open roof convertible car that attracted her.
Met her later a Na when she enter marriage eye clear. She got feed up of feeding him after a year filled with quarrels and fightings.
Long story short, she wanted us to start dating. No be me and her.... I jump and pass
What these ladies, especially in poorer and conservative societities as Nigeria, don't understand is that by copying foreign cultures which are hostile to their men in relation with their own men (Nigerian men), it does more harm than good to them (Nigerian women). Those foreign women can stay off men and thrive because of how the society is structured and cultural norms, not in Nigeria. I am sure someone will say single women are earning big money, which is true, but largely in select cities and states, not nationwide. By being hostile to men who are toiling in a hard economy as Nigeria, you put them off in relating with you as women.

I asked if I take care of all your bills what then will you use your salary to do? And then I asked again do you have the mindset of looking out for each other or it's only the man that will look out for you? The first question she replied with 'I really can't tell you for now because I wasn't expecting that question' grin, selfishness check ✅ observed and then she answered the second question, she said Its the man that must look out for me, I shouldn't be looking for a man, selfishness check confirmed ✅

I have come to realize that one of the test for a woman to determine whether she is interested in you is her willingness to part with her money even if you ain't really interested in what she has, do that check to weed out the extremely hypergamous and selfish ones
First bold: good questions.
Second bold: good way to gauge the situation.

That said, if/when she gets to marry a well-to-do man, she will be the first to lament that he has extramarital affairs after she must have barred him from having sex because she gave birth.

You are a religion bigot, you should be ashamed of yourself. A Christian can vote for a Christian but when a Muslim vote for a Muslim (not primarily based on the same religion), it becomes an issue. Be careful
In order of fairness, it is you who is a bigot as Tinubu paired with a fellow Muslim to succeed another Muslim.

Lol. LP or PDP have magic wand to solve issue of farmers/herders crisis in Nigeria, right? Because you made it looks like problem that started with Buhari/APC administration. It is a problem that have been there for a long time and which Obi or Atiku may not even have effective solution for.
Only a liar will deny that the Fulani herdsmen worsened during Buhari's tenure. In fact, it was during his time that their incursion moved to the south, unlike the perennial Middle Belt region.

Let me guess, you are Obi supporter, right? The one who was telling a pastor that Christians should take their country back, right? I'm better than him because religion doesn't dictate my actions and deeds.
I am not because I knew he would not win.

That because you thought Obi won last presidential election but he was rigged out grin grin grin
Tinubu can only win if there is a no strong and formidable opposition just like in 2023. APC votes dropped from 12 million in 2019 to 8 million in 2023 and you still didn't realise that the breakup of PDP into smaller parties was the reason why APC/Tinubu won the election!
I already predicted seven months before the election that Obi would not win. So, I am surprised you think I support his candidacy.
