Na play but exposes something about being being a gay person. They can't save it for last.

You must engage in "sex" to acknowledge who you truly are.

How can she have been born a man when she has two biological children of her own?

Transwomen can neither get pregnant or deliver.

Those shaming her using this nonsense do so because they haven't found dirt to pin on her.

Peller was the first person to notice a tumor on Jarvis chin. Peller paid millions for Jarvis to undergo surgery which saved her life.

What did he gain from all this??

The babe dump am and moved on like say nothing happened

Spending money on a woman is equivalent of pouring water into a basket.
Let's be honest with ourselves: they are not on the same level.

On a normal day, the likes of Jarvis don't date Peller's. Would you accept your daughter date Peller?

Jarvis is either an undergraduate or graduate while Peller behaves like someone who barely has school cert.

Romance › Re: My Encounter With Single Mothers So Far by grandstar(m): 6:18pm On Jan 17
PureSperm:
Good day my fellow Nairalanders. Guess you're doing good.

Finally,my brothers and sisters,I've broken up with my traditional religious girlfriend. Not that I broke up with her simply because she was fetish but what really broke my heart was when I got to realize she had always been in contact with her ex. I couldn't bear the pain. She even told me straight up that she can't stop talking to him because they aren't enemies. I even told her to choose between me and her other male friends who have been calling her every night and she said she can't let go of them because of me. Then ,I manned up and let her go,in peace.

Now, I've decided to go into the dating pool once again. My experiences so far hasn't been beautiful because I've met beautiful souls as well as kangaroos disguising as single women sad

So far,out of the 6 ladies I've met so far,5 were single mothers. The other one was in a serious relationship but was ready to give me a chance. But I wasn't ready to be in the friend zone praying for another man's relationship or break so that I could enter. I told her categorically that that isn't what I wanted. And we ended our talking stage, abruptly and , peacefully.

Now,what I discovered was that all of the single mothers I met were all in the age range of 24-30 years. Could it be as a result of parental failure? Or it was their greed that led them into such lifetime mistakes? These thoughts have been running Helter skelter in my head since I encountered all of them. 3 out them all complained about different men coming to sleep with them and running away because they didn't want to go into any serious relationship with a single mother. One of them even asked me to promise to take care of her son. I told her instantly that I wasn't ready to do that. Then I asked about her son's father and she said he was in the same town with them. On hearing that,I lost every single bit of erection and little affection I had for her.

So,my brothers who are now married but were once single,how did you guys manage to escape from this single and searching phase without getting entangled with these type of ladies our societies have kept on producing and dishing out,in recent years?

Please mods,let's help push this thread to the front page so that myself and other single men can learn from veterans and married men.
There is this joke:

If the priest should beat the children wey come little to Church, what of the children that did not come?

In the same vein, if you condemn the single mothers for having illegitimate children (i prefer the term "love child), what of those girls that aborted? They go scot free.

Which is worse: an abortion or having a love child? That is why we should stop judging (Read Matthew 7:1-4).

We should learn to see things the way God sees them (Read 1 Samuel 16:7, Luke 7:36-50)

The only thing worse than being a single mum is a culture that promotes it.

A single mom to me has only 2 primary routes if she wants to settle down: drop the child with her parents, or be chaste until she ties the knot so that men won't take advantage of her "desperation."
Politics › Re: ADC Ticket: Who Would Be A Better President? by grandstar(m):
Hemanwel:
I will go with Atiku.

Buhari's 12m votes, Kwankwaso's 1m votes, and Atiku's 6m are all going to Atiku if he gets the ticket; especially now that the north aren't smiling with Tinubu's government.

Remember, the number of registered voters in Northwest alone dwarfs that of Southsouth and southeast combined.

Only an Atiku on the ballot can guarantee the northern numbers go to the opposition.

Let ADC wrest power from APC first before we talk about "best candidate"
Let's be honest, people think positively of those they want to be the winner. It is a bias.

The truth here is this: Underestimate Tinubu at your peril.

It is not that he got the overwhelming number of votes in the last election. He just got more than everyone else. He was also the only candidate to achieve the 25% of all votes in two-thirds of the states, Atiku came second with 20 states.

Unfortunately for Atiku, he doesn't seem to have a fanatical base like that of Buhari in the North or the goodwill that one had in the South. If he is voted for, it is because they don't know a better candidate.

Tinubu may repeat his 2023 victory again.

Worse, I actually see him doing much better than before. If he spends like there's no tomorrow on infrastructure and the country achieves 24 hours power supply this year, it would massively boost his chances. Even if it is 18 hours daily, for Band E, it will assist him win.

Already, the government has deploying the Forest Guards, a security outfit who that will tackle the bandits and militia herdsmen. Things should improve greatly by the 2027 elections.

Don't forget that he has about 30 governors ready who are also his praise singers come 2027. I don't see how he won't win.

I am surprised that all the countries here on the list, especially

Thailand
Tanzania
Uganda
Nepal
South Korea
Belarus
Armenia
Botswana
Equitorial Guinea

I can understand China.

It seems Buddhist societies like Thailand, Cambodia, and to some point Nepal, aren't keen on porn.

Thailand is reknown for sex tourism. I don't understand. Maybe they prefer the real stuff than to fantasize.

Belarus, a Christian/Atheist country banning porn is just wild!

I wonder what the African countries like Botswana and Equitorial Guinea are doing on the list? No African Muslim nation is on the list, yet these two are included in the list.

Na wa o!

Something as cheap and as simple as a VPN makes this list obselete.

For example, see below:

Based on a 2021 study of Arab countries, which included Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of pornography viewing is high, particularly among men.

Key findings include:
High Frequency: Approximately 30% of men in the study reported monthly pornography viewing, with 29% watching weekly and 11% daily.

Many of these terrorists have innocent civilians in their camps which they hold unto to prevent attacks on them.

Nevertheless, the army needs to do more but they are stretched thin.

This is exciting.

I did not know that the country was conducive to the manufacturing of high tech products like drones, considering a lot of the protectionist policies on imported goods which may inflate the cost of purchasing parts from overseas. There's also the issue of poor power supply.

If they succeed, it might provide the impetus for other companies to dive into this field.

Gboss247:
Forex reserve have grown from $60 billion with population of 160 million people to $46 billion with a population of 230 million people, what kind of growth is that?
Buhari destroyed the economy with lamentablr economic policies.

When Tinubu got there, there was only $3.99bn is the net foreign reserves. The net foreign reserves refers to the part of the foreign reserves that is unencumbered. This was not even enough to cover 1 month of Imports

The shortage of fx was so bad that it chased some multinationals such as GSK out of Nigeria. Remember the airlines were complaining about not getting the fx they paid. It was that bad.

The net foreign reserves is now over $40bn, enough to cover 8months of imports.

They made sure was carried out more than a year away from the elections.

In this demolition exercise, the Nigerians that will bear most of the brunt are the Yoruba's. Why I said Nigerians is that there other nationalities living there, especially from Benin Republic.

The state government can not be accused of being selective.

Do I support the demolition? No.

The residents weren't complaining. A large number of them can not afford to pay rent.

My take is: if it ain't broken why fix it?

Maybe I just feel sorry for them.

$40 billion in forex reserve for a country of over 230 million people swimming in a foreign debts of $47 billion. Do you wish to have a exchange rate of ₦10,000/$?
The size of the economy is what you should look at and not the population.

The fundamentals does not justify 10,000 to 1.

The Naira is already quite undervalued as it is. That's why the foreign reserves have grown. More fx is coming in than going out.

Celebrities › Re: “I Was Bullied” — Davido’s Alleged Daughter Appeals For DNA Test by grandstar(m): 8:40am On Jan 16
David should just carry out another test so that the young woman can finally get the closure that she craces.

I see no similarity between her and her "father." That's probably why she's being ridiculed. If there were some similarities, there'd be some hope.
Celebrities › Re: Anu Adeleke Shares Alleged Chats With Davido After DNA Test Demand by grandstar(m): 8:35am On Jan 16
Perhaps they should do final test simply to confirm to the young girl to confirm who are father is.

If Davido is exonerated, that'd be most welcome.

If he isn't, he has a lot of daddyism to make up for.

What's really essential here is for the girl to finally get closure.

Calculators were a product of the eighties? What?! I always thought they existed since the ‘50s if not ‘20s.
Even in accounting, it took time before they accepted their use in class.

Old breed accountants used to work out entries counting the normal way, and they were so good at it that they rarely made mistakes, just the same way accountants today use calculators without making mistakes.

Romance › Re: Clocked 48 Today , Still Living With My Parents by grandstar(m): 6:20pm On Jan 15
Ibtxxo:
My parents especially the one called mother killed my confidence as a child.
When i was a kid , I had discoloured yellow teeth.
She mocked me with it.
She will tell me my mouth use to smell.
This made me not to mingle with people as a child for fear of being called smelling mouth.
I was like this growing up.
I mostly stay indoors .
They mess upy life
I am glad we are getting somewhere. Parents play a huge role in our development.

Parents like every human on this earth are imperfect. Some abuse their roles.

When raising up a child, your focus should be making the best decision for the child so that he can function as a successful adult.

The parent should be ready to make any sacrifice, especially painful ones, to ensure the child succeeds.

For example, when I was not doing well financially, my mother urged me to travel overseas, that perhaps I could make it there,

Do you know what makes this really special? My mum developed a spinal infection when she was almost 50 which left her bedridden for the remaining 30 years of her life. I was just 15 when she became handicapped.

When she gave me this advice, all my siblings were already living overseas. I was the only one left. Anytime I was needed to assist her, I would drop everything. Then, I lived in the family house in Lagos, while she lived in that of my hometown in Ondo state. There was a time I was with her for 6 months as she had no one else to care for her.

Yet, she wanted me to travel. My dad was the complete opposite. That was where my problem came from.

He wanted to have control over me. He was attached to me in a bad way. If I wanted to even leave the house and move elsewhere in Lagos, he would be devastated, even if he knew it was the best for me.

When I helped him sell his property for 15m about 20 years back, he gave me 50k and told me that the buyer would pay me fees. Yet, Ihe was the one that urged me to read estate management in school. If it was my mum, she would have given me like 1m. I am certain even if I say 2m, she would have gladly given me.

I could have fought with my dad for more. However, I chose not to as if he gave me larger amount after a fight, he would weaponize it. "See, my son who I gave 750k? I have never done more for any other child. I love him so much and see how he treats me?" He would never say I fought for it or that he told me to go to the buyer to collect my money.

Your mum and my dad are can be said to be emotional detached from us.

Let me give you an example.

Imagine a mother wants to leave the house for work and her 4 year old son is frustrating her. He has locked the door and hidden the keys. She has pleaded for hours to no avail.

She now promises to buy him a biscuit on her way back, and magically, he produces the key and his mum is finally on her way to work.

Why did the child allow the mum to go to work: was it because he felt sorry for her or because she offered him a biscuit? It was because of the biscuit and not out of pity.

Many parents are like that little child. They never grew out of it. It is only they are now adults doing it to their child.

I want to ask you a question: Do you think your mum feels really sorry for you, or pities your present condition? Or does she even blame you for your present condition?

What is the way forward? I would suggest you make it a goal to whiten your teeth. Search "how much does it cost to whiten teeth in lagos" in Google. It seems to cost 100k max. It could massively boost your self confidence.

Target it a goal to achieve within 3 months,

The question you'll ask is how do I raise that kind of money? That would be where we would go to next.

First respond to this.
