Romance › Re: Ladies Have You Almost Dated Married Man Who Acted Single? How Did You Discover? by Greystone: 1:30pm On Jun 11, 2020
Leezah:
Honestly ladies have seen hell, this is what girls must pass through before ending up been Mrs huh?? But its well.

You will never notice they're married because there's nothing suspicious even in their home.

First one.... The wife was far from him where she's working, and his home looks so much like bachelor's home and I find out through my friend who saw his pictures on my phone one day. I confronted him,he denied it till date.

Second one, The man even promised to marry me not knowing he's already engaged. I found out through his ex gf whom I suspected he was cheating on me with on Facebook. The good aunty revealed everything to me. The funny part is he never posted his so called wife on social media, nor have her pics on phone. He's also single on social media. The ex told me he married the lady because of her money and only go to visit her once in a while because he's still living in his bachelor's house.

Third one, His brother he introduced to me one day started developing feelings for me ooo. Even went to the extent of revealing his brother's secret of being married to one village girl with a kid so I should leave his brother and come to him. I confronted his brother and he didn't even deny it just and also told me that he wish he meet me before the girl and that he's ready to leave her for me. Mehnnnnn I gave up on men since those experience. It really hurts cry cry cry cry

All of this three are still looking fresh and young. U will never suspect them being engaged let alone married. May God help we ladies oooo
Nice profile pic.

Romance › Re: He’s Very Stingy And I am tired by Greystone: 10:17pm On May 27, 2020
Positivechick:
I broke up with my boyfriend today,

I met him while I was serving, he was nice and the only friend I had, I served in a village. While we were serving he doesn’t give me much, I practically kinda fed him cause he was always in my place. He had a roommate and I didn’t. Before he gives me any money we always had issues, not like he doesn’t hv to give. He just doesn’t want to. I don’t even ask for much.

After service we continued dating, he had no job so I told him to get a teaching job he said never ever, he rather follow he’s friends up and down , I kept quite watching what his plans maybe, I hv never asked him for a dim since we finished service mid last year, got a teaching job so taking care of myself.

My birthday would be coming up, his just passed, I told him that I would be expecting some cash on my birthday. We talked today and he’s telling me he spent all he’s money for he’s birthday, that if money comes he will send but right now he has no money, placing me on the probability table, so I said u couldn’t keep the one u would send me, he said people were buying drinks and buying drinks and he couldn’t tell them to stop. Am like are u serious ? I had to remind him that my birthday is few days away and he started saying he won’t be able to send anything. I told him without him doing the needful that there is no us.

Am tired, he has no vision, No focus , no aim , he depends on his friends and it's annoying. I think about he’s future more than he does , he’s always in the present. He’s making me feel like a bad person that he would make it. I hope he makes it but the relationship is so draining and I am 100% faithful to someone with no sense of reasoning. He’s Saying I am dating someone that’s why I want to leave him. He isn’t even addressing the issue we hv on ground .

Thoughts??
You've tried.

Not every relationship will result in marriage.

I turned out
Edit:
So please in the name of God stop blaming my mum.
If anything, she is the reason I changed for good before she passed. All that flogging and punishment from my dad made me more stubborn.. it was my mother's soft love that brought me back to my senses. God knows if not for her I would have been worse
Put some respect on her name!!
But your mother's love should have stayed in your mind and kept you from acting wild wen you wer in school and enjoying your newfound "freedom ".

I hope those ur misdeeds don't come back to haunt you in the future.

Please don’t let him stay in your house.
You have forgiven him but be wise.

He’s clearly jealous. He’s coming to your house to see things for himself. You can’t predict what he will do after that.
This is the best advice I've seen on this thread.

Slyfox35, see ehnnn, you better be careful be4 this ur so called friend comes and poisons u or robs u.

Do Not let him know where u are. He is Not ur friend.

A person who collects the only money u hav from u and throws u out on the street in a foreign country is a kinsman of the devil.

We don't want to come and read fatal news about u pls. Stay away from that guy!

Celebrities › Re: Stop Dating Mentally Broke Girls. by Greystone: 2:36pm On May 11, 2020
I used to be addicted to dating only very beautiful ladies. I was a young then. I am a man now.

I can tell u from experience that if beauty is ur only criterion for a woman, ur hairs will grow gray and white very fast, and except for the grace of God Almighty, you may die a premature death.

I totally relate with ur points #7 and #8;

dignity33:
7. Rather date a lady who adds something beneficial to your life. Things like emotional intelligence; financial intelligence; spiritual
intelligence and other intelligence.

8. Date someone who's capable of calming the storm within your soul ( an average man has enough storms ); and not someone who
adds stress to your life.
If you lack peace of mind with your partner, u are with the wrong person.

My Nissan will disgrace me when I don baff-up and decide to go show off to friends. Na push dem go help me push am for road after e don cause hold-up.

BusterG:
It’s really crazy when you save up or get a loan and end up buying a car you really wish you hadn’t most likely after driving it for a short period.

Okay so far I have personally purchased 6 vehicles over the years and I only regret buying 1.

My wife’s birthday was coming up back in 2012 and I had about 600k to buy her a present. Since she didn’t have a car yet, I decided to go buy a Nigerian used car.

I searched online and found a car I think here on Nairaland. A brown Toyota Corolla 2001. It was looking neat and all and was being used by a lady banker at eco bank, akin adesola. So since my office was close by I went to check and it looked “okay”. I checked out some basics, did a test drive and left. I paid I think the second day.

First two months the car was smooth as I went to Ibadan twice from Lagos with it. My wife used it lightly too as she wasn’t working at that time. Regular maintenance was done and all until one day I think around the 3 months after purchase.
I started the car and saw plenty white smoke behind. When my mechanic came he said the engine was previously ringed and plenty stories that didn’t touch.

I remember selling it off for 400k.

Share yours?
I had a similar experience some years ago.

It was my 4th car.

There was this model i had always wanted. I was still saving up to get one from Cotonou then, when i saw the exact type parked at a car dealership on
my way to work. I couldn’t resist. I came down and had a look. Everything looked ok. Naija used for about one and half years.

Few days later, i brought my mechanic who inspected it. I test drove it and it felt good.

We settled on a price and deducted it from my trade in car. Rushed to the bank and transferred the balance.

Came back, signed the necessary documents and drove my “new” car home.

All was well till about 2 months later when the car refused to acknowlege the gear shift. Put the car in drive but car was like it was in “park”.
Na so i climb bike go work that day.

Got a mechanic to come look at it. Bottom line, automatic transmission (gearbox) had gone. Another 3 months of climbing bike up an down while 2 auto gearboxes wer sent up from Lagos (both wer fixed, didn’t work and returned back to Lagos).

Cut the long story short, I barely managed to sell that junk for 150k.

I will never buy Naija used car in my life again.
