I would have done the same and I have done same. Lateness triggers me. I have a friend that is always late and I stopped going anywhere with her. I cannot come to pick you up and you keep me waiting for 30mins. If you don't respect my time, you don't respect me. Even artisans, if I notice you don't keep to appointments, I will stop working with you.

So how do you cope when the events you attend (informal) commences later than scheduled?

Getbetter:
Thanks so much for these words of advice. It's a wonderful contribution.

Punctuality is the sole of business, as they say.
Although, there may be some very few periods in our lives when we can't help but be late to appointments or meetings due to some unexpected or uncontrollable circumstances. But lateness shouldn't be a habit of ours.
Being punctual is a sign of being a responsible person. And countless doors of greatness have been opened just because of being punctual. It's a good way to get ahead of many others in life.

Yes.

The German did what I could do, especially in a society with abundant transport options. If na Lagos, one can understand, but a city where there are trains and trams, you came late? No. I no do again.

blackbriar:
Kindly read the thread from Page 1.
That would help you formualate questions to any information gap.

Regards.

Shey you have seen what I talked about? Na you dey answer these people. The one I responded to, if not for the spam bot, he would have blocked me because I don't understand why someone will come to a 50+ thread without reading from the beginning to know how far.

To show how unserious the person you replied to is, read here:

I don't know how to go about the process, starting from the schools to apply, the requirements from Nigerians, the visa application process, the funds required for the whole process, etc.

Anyone who had read the last ten pages would not ask about the bold, but innately indolent people do so, and unfortunately, do so for a living!

fyneboi79:
It depends on your residential environment and places you frequent most for work or leisure.join a reputable gym and find guys who look far better than you imagined.

That is an anecdotal way of analysing topics. A gym is not an accurate representation of handsome men in a state or city. A Facebook group where young people mingle, a marketplace, a bank, a church, a school, etc., are better spots to capture the faces and body structures of men from all walks of life in a certain age bracket, not a gym or leisure spot. A gym is a curated spot, not an accurate spot, to find good-looking men.

Ishilove:
I don't know where Nigeria gets all these handsome men from to represent them at international pageants. I definitely don't see many handsome men on our streets. Rather, our spaces are vastly populated with hexagonal headed, granite faced Nigerian men with red eyes and every redder temperaments. These handsome men are very rare in the country.

when I talk this thing, dem say I be simp.

Well, from a recent conversation I had on NL, I have come to understand that physically attractive and handsome men aren't common in all societies. Ours is more peculiar due to our diets, lack of physical exercise, polluted air and water, contaminated products we eat and drink, general stress of life (insecurity and putting pressure on oneself) and the catastrophic economic destruction within a decade.

latiephwald:
The first 3 comments made me shake my head and asked if Nairaland has now become a home to people promoting nonsense.
dly.

The Royal Father trying calling the government’s attention to the dirty lifestyle of Mandy Kiss. Yet, instead of reflecting, some people here are asking, What concerns him?
You all need to wake up and use social life in a way that will not bring tension and moral decay to our nation in years to come. Most especially, we must always stand against immorality.

It is a slippery slope. Tomorrow, he can request the governor arrest someone for saying something that sounds immoral but offensive. You don't just arrest people like that. This Sharia you people want, one day, you will get it.

Tendd:
Most of us don't that the huge belly fat is a disease.We should stop encouraging unhealthy lifestyle that often results to diseases like obesity, visceral fat, High BP, heart failure, stroke etc.Most Nigerians above the age of 25 have big belly.The women try hard to have tight wears to cover it up.lt is often visible with the men.Another awkward looks is the skinny fat people.Slim body but huge visceral fat.We must all thrive to be healthy.There are no excuses.

This is the koko. Our foods, at least those in southern Nigeria, encourage fat. So, why are people livid about her body size? The Nigerian environment does not encourage walking and jogging. It is a recent gym culture that has kicked off. How many persons jog regularly, let alone consistently? Wey the roads to even jog in peace and not in pieces? We eat large portions and don't consume ginger and garlic regularly.

Too bad she is not a nursing mother or hasn't birthed (correct me if I am wrong), but her body shape is no different from that of the average Nigerian woman out there.

SpencerForbes:
Nigerians still rewarding stupidity. Peller has a car but we have lots of YouTube teachers and educators still begging for likes. Funniest part is that majority of their “gifters” are still post utme applicants 🤦‍♂️

People generally want to be entertained. So they reward entertainers with their time and money. Yours is to sell to them what they want. Peller is a good businessman. You sell what the market demands. You don't force the market to accept what you sell.

ajalawole:
reason he and the emir aren't saying anything about the security in Kwara North. The security van he brought since his first term are still the one being used. I remember when those former governor provide security vans like water. You all see like 3 security van with OPERATIONS KWARA on it in almost every junction. But now ehn even police scorpion squad are using Toyota matrix.

So which ethnic group dominates Kwara North?

more characters needed.

Suicideboy:

There are more women than men, men have high mortality rate compared to women.

Thanks for the Pew Research link. The gap is closing pretty fast.

But men are still in greater number.

Satazaa:
not only zenith Bank but almost all banks, the ratio of women to men is highly disproportionate in favour of women,

Only Zenith employs more women than men. The gender ratio of all bank permanent employees is stated in their end of year results. Do you have the result of a bank that employs more women than men?

valarinz:
I'm not sure there are, all the ones you see being driven in Lagos, the mechanics who handle them are all at Russia

The car develops issue, we take it to Russia and fix and bring it back...easy peasy✌🏿

Not hitting on your hustle, but I'd rather buy a Benz or BMW and send the car to Germany than do so with a Volvo.

IbeOkehie:
Very handsome or physically attractive men also enjoy an advantage in the sexual or mating market. When women reach a certain level of financial security they start putting more emphasis on male looks. The statistics have been crunched, dating apps have made everything clear.

In a society like Nigeria, how many men are physically attractive? It is good that you used the phrase "physically attractive" rather than just handsome. Also, in the same Nigeria, how many women are willing to marry men who might be facially handsome but financially incapable and be the major provider, notwithstanding the cultural intricacies?

It's not a woman's world, it a world of the wealthy & physically attractive. On a composite where [wealth + good looks} = 20, those with a score of 18 are the champions of the sex market. It's not theory, it's real. Such people have endless OPTIONS, they live in a different world.

Agreed. I am curious, for people in that category, in the long run, who comes out on top?

Also beautiful people for obvious reasons tend to have high levels of sexual activity and that comes with certain risks.

Agreed. Thank God for the White man inventing an effective treatment for HIV. I look forward to more discoveries for other maladies.

KingWarri:
How many women are into; carpentry, welding, electrician, military, civil engineering, architecture, marine engineering, heavy-duty machine operator, truck driving, transportation, photography, music producers etc compare to men

The thing about modern women is that they not might dominate those areas, but they target the high earning divisions in those professions. Also, they target the non-physical aspects. So we have women as CFOs of oil companies, but few of them on the rigs. Women as HR personnel and accounting in those sectors, but never doing the brawny aspects.

spiceadole:
The reason is because there is no money in medicine.
Men are therefore shying away for studying medicine

There is money, but it takes a long time to amass compared to newer fields. That is the issue with medicine, and since men are still regarded as providers, they have to invest their energies into areas which produce quicker returns. Medicine isn't one of such.

Villagesquare:
The number of woman on planet earth is times 10 of the number of men and the cultural and knowledge barrier that restricted woman's pursuit for a decent career to the kitchen has been broken so expect more women in professionals fields in the nearest future.

There are more men than women in almost every part of the world. There are more men than women in Nigeria.

Depriest2020:
I don't know, even those over age hundred don't know the content, it was passed over by past generations, it's inside a big calabash, women don't touch it, you just take a little out of it and put it in a cup add a little drink and give the new bride to take.

Well, with time, we will get to find out what it is.

SmartPolician:
If women are running all these industries, wetin come remain for men again? The funny thing is that most ladies are hypergamous, meaning that single motherhood will take over our society in the coming years.

This is why marriage rates have dived across the developed world. Women don't see the dire need to marry because the core aim - financial provision - is something they can achieve. It's why they come with a myriad of non-financial requirements for men because they earn their own money. Aside from money, what else do you bring to the table?

Additionally, this takeover of hitherto male careers is why there has been a rise in men demanding women contribute to the households, and one cannot really blame such men. When 50% of the jobs have been taken over by women, hypergamy can't really exist because the jobs men held in order to be a provider have been taken over by women.

I've written it here countless times, should Nigeria become as rich as Malaysia, many of our women won't marry.

As for human resource, no be today. Someone went for CIPM exams and could count the number of men. Zenith Bank employs more women than men.

Currently, it's a Woman's World. It's only a man's world if he is well-to-do.

Antoeni:
Trade fair Complex is owned by the Federal Government. Hence, Lagos State Govt. doesn't have any business demolition any building there.

they can't survive without Igbo man money, criminals

Who is the President of Nigeria? What was his former elected position?

lol

skutugalance:
I worked in this man's company Gimbrown marine group, he's owing salary, poor welfare in his vessels, no food most times in his vessels. Sometimes will slash salary into two to pay his crew is an issue all he knows is merry with women and forget people working the money for him to marry.

And people wonder why almost every young Nigerian runs to Lagos? When their big men cannot operate businesses professionally or even appoint astute professionals so that the right working environment is provided for their young graduates.

Hand the company to a Dutch or Singaporean. Run it professionally then expand to other African countries while flexing. How hard is this one nau?

Morenikeji090:
lol tho he can’t satisfy all of them sexually… definitely some or one gonna keep cheating on him… coz they are too much of its 3 wives it’s pretty okay… even among 3 wives one can still cheat talkless of 19th lol…. Men make we get money jare.. God over everything.

The juju or traditional religion I saw that man practicing is something o.

I would like to know how these things work sef. Because if the juju is so effective, how come the societies are so under-developed and the people are poor? Oyibo man don find cure to Huntington disease wey dey affect am and has produced an almost cure for HIV. To date, there has been no vaccine for Lassa Fever even though it originated from Nigeria since 1969.

Depriest2020:
In my part of Nigeria, when a woman gets married, a native concussion is presented to her to drink, it's kinda fidelity oath taking, any day another man sleeps with you, you fall sick and die except you confess and go for cleansing.

What are the contents of this drink? How does the effect work?

These are questions we should be asking...

Christlike01:
These online chest-beating warriors are already going tribal over this issue. Just so you know: if you go down that path — tribalism — the Yoruba people will rise in support of that lady, and the hunter may become the hunted. I hope you all choose to be wise for once.

You should be a_ shamed of yourself. Honestly, this behaviour is disgusting.

It was a Yoruba man (Uncle Ayo) who called out Paul to sue her in court. Vivan Okeke, another feminist who supports false rape accusations, is experiencing the same call-out, and no one has mentioned ethnicity so far.

You tribalists should be doing better things with your time.

⚡BRICS Energy Alliance in Full Swing

● Iran orders 7,000 MW of solar panels from China.

● China ups oil imports from Iran to 1.81 million barrels/day.

● Iran ships first of 40 gas turbines to Russia.

● Russia signs deal for 8 new nuclear power plants in Iran.

Thank God for Chinese solar advancement. It has kick-started an electricity revolution for many middle-income and poor countries. This time, the energy is "clean", so I want to see what naysayers will say. The West pushed for green energy, and China took it and ran with it. Now, the same West accuse China of going too far. Thankfully, Chinese solar manufacturers no dey hear word.

Dirt cheap but clean energy!

Honestly, as an African in this world, thank God for the Chinese.

This and many more are why I don't overly criticise GehGeh. The fact that many women sit by allowing young ladies to run away with false accusations says a lot.

Well, na their sons go suffer am. When their sons grow to relate with the new generation girls, we will be here to remind them.

May the best gender win.

LordAdam16:
The US is treaty-bound to enter any Japan-China conflict.
In fact, the US will join that war faster than it would join a NATO Article 5 war triggered by an attack on any Baltic state or Turkey.

China would still win.
Japanese dominance in East Asia started in the Meiji era and ended in the 2010s.
Current Japan is to China what Korea used to be to Japan pre WW2.
Technological parity has made it an unfair match up.
China is too populous, too advanced, too wealthy, too ruthless.

Here is how I see the Taiwan issue.
China prefers peaceful unification.
But is preparing its military just in case.

On this planet, if you want something, you don't rely exclusively on the goodwill of the opposing party.
You hope for the best but expect the worst.
You ask nicely but prepare a big club to do damage if it has to come to that.

I don't see a war happening, but humans always surprise.

-Lord

Just as you, I prefer and do want a peaceful reunification. War disrupts progress, and I want to see China progress economically without bounds and disruption because an economically strong China enables Chinese businesses and investors to pour in funds across the developing world. Peru, Colombia, Brazil, Indonesia and Nigeria have been some of the beneficiaries.

So a rich and peaceful South(East) Asia is important for our eventual prosperity.

RodgersAkpafu:
Even if there is a rematch today
Japan IS STILL whacking China

Japanese people STILL look down on the Chinese because in their mind, they are the alphas in the region (understandably so)

The economic strength of China has diminished everything. Without Chinese money (investors, tourists and regular folks), the Japanese economy will experience severe issues.

ibechris:
This is isn't good for the image of our country.

This is the same Kwara that used to be peaceful,homely and beautiful place for all now a place for bandits.

These kinds of news does not help investors,it repels them and automatically cripples other very important sectors too.

Kwaran residents on NL,

Do these attacks really exist? Because e shock me say Kwara will experience terrorist attacks o

Adesina18111:
Honestly people need to learn to cut their clothes according to their clothes and not according to their sizes... I remember when I wanted to buy my first car, I had money for big daddy Camry but my friend and the dealer insisted I go for muscle camry Saying I can be paying installmentally... Then I asked the dealer... For what reason? I told him Big daddy Camry is a dream car to some people and buying it comfortably makes me happy.. unknown to me that the muscle camry engine is faulty and my so called friend is even aware... Thank God I followed my mind and I bought the big daddy... Just be contented with what you have and what you can afford

That is not a friend. He did not mean well for you. But then, many Nigerians are innately dishonest.

So nothing surprising.
