Okija_juju: How did this become a problem biko nu?! Okay!! Igbo men call their girlfriends 'Nwa Baby'm'.. Does that make the Girl in question their 'baby'?! MEN!! This unemployment wahala for this country don make Nigerians dey reason go far sha!!..Lol @ nwa Baby m, well thats onitsha method and i dont live in nigeria and yes am gainfully employed. when u have a day off, what do u do with it? |
Mrs.Chima:Oh Mrs Chima, i loved the way you explained it but isnt there a word for girlfriend in yoruba culture? And the way you spelt nwunye shows you are not igbo although my igbo is terrible but thanks for marrying my igbo Bros. Imela, Dalu. ![]() |
Quick question. In yoruba culture, who is really a 'wife'? Is it the -wife -Fiancee - Girlfriend - Mistress I ask cos I see guys call their female partners "iyawo mi" and the ladies call them "Oko mi" . Does dating automatically turn u into a wife or husband in yoruba culture? Is it culturally accepted or is their no word for girlfriend in yoruba language. I love the way they address themselves but it will be nice to understand these things. - |
fluid26: No offence please, is there anything particularly spectacular or extraordinary about you?As you know, no human being can be the same. People are different, so is their interest. People who are attracted to me must have found something spectacular, that question should be addressed to them not me. And for you to comment on this thread, same goes for you. |

sanb: Girl...no need to chop my head off...I gave you an answer!!! To note, there is nothing wrong in being honest and in refusing to date when you know you won't love him and it ain't no crime. But as I said before be firm...enjoy!!!Wasn't angry, sorry if I sounded such. ![]() |
sanb: @Op...Interesting!!! When we women don't see suitors we complain; when we see suitors we complain again just shows that we can never be satisfied...my advice to you would be let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. Be firm and let the guys know that you’re not giving them your number and someone has suggested here to give them your e-mail address instead. Be sure not to drive all your suitors away and as you know age is not on our side.... (Smile)Pls, did u read my post at all? I said I just got off a r/ship and wouldn't want to date, question was how to avoid these men without being rude! Some ladies will dabble into another r/ship cos of what they will gain from the man under the guise if I love u when they really mean harm. Is there anything wrong in being honest, is there anything wrong in refusing to date when u know you won't love'em? I choose to be honest in saying No and yet respect other people. It's no crime. Thanks for ur input. |
AJJ: * always stay indoorLOL ![]() |
daisyella: I don't understand why sum1 could open a thread on how to avoid men, if u r pretty men will kepp coming, it's no new thingAlthough u claim I sound like a teenager,truth is that you have contributed to this thread. Thanks for the tips. |
shawn5ng: Well let see if my lost half will call me from here 08039192101Lmaoooo @odogunma. Men get mouth! |
None. |
LMAO!!! This is hilarious! |
pleep: Be really mean, avoid eye contact etc... keep convo's short, say you are married.Its really a problem. I laugh cos thats the best pill to life. And yes, i have been meaner than you can fathom but i find out i get really offeneded in the process and am trying so much not to get angry over issues i can pleasantly take care of. Thanks though. |
D-Explorer:Well the entire thing bothered me but since you have made light of it, i will live each day as it comes. Thanks for ur help. ![]() |
D-Explorer:ROTFL...can't stop laughing |
D-Explorer:Oh, I wear wedding ring and it not working. ![]() |
k2039: [size=18pt]If you dont feel comfortable, tell him to give you his number,then you can call at your convenience. or not at all...[/size]I have repeatedly done this, I have had a guy follow me about in a mall, I didn't have a choice than give him the number. Our nigerian men understands no as a yes and I really don't want to be unruly. Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it. |
Mynd_44: It might have worked but it will lead to those stories going aroundI know and understand what u mean. Well I will take ur advice. Thanks |
D-Explorer:LOL! technically, I did. Told one I had a fractured pelvis from an accident, he never called me again neither did he bother to find.out if its true. So u see I did try it. |
donigspain: ASTHMA?I totally agree with u, my younger brother took this herbal remedy and this is 1yr and 8 months and there never been an episode of asthma attack or symptoms. It really works. |
sexkillz: [color=#000030]When i notice i have symptoms of malaria, can't i say malaria is around the corner? |
Mynd_44: That will only lead to malicious lies being spread around about you. Bad thingI know its an extreme thing to do but most people won't still leave u alone even if you say that |
omo_to_dun: Tell them you have HIV.Rotflmao, I have tried that and yes it works. |
Mynd_44: Its quite easy girl, dont give them your number. They will be persistent but as long as they will not steal it from your head, you will be in the safe. You can't continue to joke and laugh about iy but dont leave an avenue where they will be able to contact you.Thanks, great info especially the email address idea. Never thought of that. |
you no serious. It's not a crime to quit trying when you have tried so much. Sometimes peace can be found by just staying a way.190-the-clown: |
Often times men approach me, I try to be respectful,friendly and accommodating. They usually leave their phone numbers to contact them which I never call them. Sometimes they insist to have my number which I give them with hesitation and next thing I see are tons of calls a day which I ignore. Not that am being a snub, I really don't know what they want and refusing to give my number may be seen as being too forward (insinuating that they want r/ship with me) or mean depending on who's involved. So my question is How's the best way to ignore/avoid men without being disrespectful and rude? I just got out of a r/ship and won't want to date anymore. Thanks. |
Why are Muslims always angry and bitter?! I have been going thru these comments and even the Maclauntji (sorry if I got ur name wrong) is so bitter and angrrrryyyyy. Even as a MOD, he takes everything so personal. This is a forum where people express themselves so let them. If you are going to start a thread, people will have different views about it. Una blood too dey hot. If you get angry every minute of ur life for what people say or do then u r in for serious health issues. if you expect everyone to agree with what you say, then you are not also not wise. Wisdom is the principal thing. In all you do, get wisdom. |
mecussey: When she changes without my consent.LOL, without ur consent? Now that's laughable. People just do things, they don't need anyone's consent. |
frosbel: so I should tell you my church name and city so that my enemies can find me, lol.SCARY CAT!! ![]() |
Really, why do people keep such long-term r/ships without marriage? 5yrs of just being a girlfriend? People get tired of status that doesn't change, they will start finding faults after all they are not maritally committed to you. All these long wait brings in too much katakata that wasn't there initial. And yes people fall out of love when things aren't as they use to be. |
MRbrownJAY: of course i am MAD, any man with sense would be!!!!!!! I AM DAMN PISSED that "supposedly" educated people talk the way you do.there can be no joyful communication with me, NONE!Am so loving you Mr Brown! High self esteem is the key! |
It's very obvious he still loves his Ex. I wonder how a full grown man allows his destiny to be determined by 3rd parties.( his family) the end point is that he will continue to cheat on his to-be wife even after marriage cos where the heart lies, the feet goes. I will not blame him in anyway, sometimes when you truly love someone, you just can't let go. Advice: he should squarely face his family and tell them his choice. Now if they accept or not shouldn't deter him. And the wife to be should count it all joy cos that marriage will either kill her or make her a murderer. A failed r/ship abi engagement is better than a broken marriage. If they continue, non of them will be happy in that marriage. This goes a long way to say money cannot and will not buy love. It can only sustain infatuation for a while. My 2 cents. |
