y2kaustin: I have buyer for the above mentioned quantity of Forcado,anyone with CREDIBLE link,kindly contact me and send me SPA to : y2kaustin@gmail.com,please note:

1. The buyer does not intend to charter a different vessel than the one the seller is intending to trans load from.buyer,Will sign a charter party agreement with the captain and transfers ownership.

2. The commission for the buyer's facilitator is should be stated and the space should not be filled.

There is 50,000MT forcaduz on FOB basis. Your buyer must have vessel. Loading at the terminal. Buyers commission cannot be free on what i have available because me and my group will not work for free.

Always try to be realistic in your inquiries.

shinystar: Soft touch, thanks. I appreciate your advice. I have chosen not to tell her anything I do for my siblings and family again.

Harakiri, I like the feminine angle you bring to this discussion. I must say you are one in a million if you are doing all you claimed to be doing. I wish all women were like you.

Let's keep the discussion going. I am really learning.

WTF was that? First, "Harakiri" is a man. Second, what "feminine" angle are you talking about?

Sagamite:

You really can't take him seriously.

This is a guy that says he thinks marriage can be successful if people do their due diligence thoroughly about there future partners. And when asked what due diligence he did about his marriage that he is confident about, he said he had one date and decided to marry her a few months later.

Damn!!!

I give up...lol

@TV01

Firstly
I can't believe y'all are having this convo without me! Me! NL' #1 marriage champion, defender of the marital union and upholder of uxoral bliss.

Secondly
Miss Ife, you are doing an excellent job of championing that most cherished of institutions. Salute, very well done and take honorary title.

Thirdly
Hopefully, one day those that don't know will desist from characterising that which they don't understand and ask those that do know for understanding.

Fourthly
Sagamite, your playing away bobo on the plane - if he was indeed playing away - has utterly foregone any right to anonymity. If he was playing away whilst using the image of an idyllic marriage to publicly sell himself and his business. Not that I want to know or feel he should be exposed, just that the basis you gave is not the right one.

Fifthly
Juvenile notions of being 70 with a nubile 30 year old on your arm don't hold water. Whatever your gender. See how sorry Madonna looks. Her boyfriends are pretty much her daughters class-mates. Tragic for them both. George Clooney is looking sadder by the day and he's barely 50. Face it when you're that age, the probability is that anyone so young and fit getting with you, is not for you but for your fame and/or money.And it's highly unlikely any of you will ever have the means to live that lifestyle anyway.

First of all, at 32yrs of age i am far from being juvenile and if views that differ from yours now get relegated to the "juvenile" department, then you need to get your wires reset. Second, Madonna in her fifties looks hotter than most women her age and still has much younger men falling over each other to win her attention. Third, George Clooney at 50yrs is one of the hottest middle aged men alive! You would be lucky to look half as hot or as good as him at that age (that's if you don't already look worn out and finished already).

Lastly
Don't be down on marriage because of what typically obtains. Look at the ideal and find someone that understands, shares and is willing to commit to the same. Do of course fancy them like mad.

Quit being afraid, dive in. Men Marry!

Happy to give a rousing sermon on the day in western or traditional attire.

Daresh:

Like I said earlier, na una sabi the kain hungry women you hang with. I do not expect my husband to do EVERYTHING for me. God gave me hands to hustle for myself. I am grateful when he pays school fees, I say thank you when he gives money for housekeeping. I say thank you and I appreciate you when I go on vacation and because I know what my husband makes, I know somethings are unattainable for now. I will not ask for an X5 when I see he drives a CRV. I won't ask for a trip to the seychelles when I know we have to pay rent. If you marry a stupid woman na you know. Not all women are ungrateful!

It's not about dating/marrying hungry or less privileged women. It's about the unrealistic insatiable expectations of women whether she is doing well or not. Even in a union where the woman earns more than the man, she still expects him to be the one to foot most of the bills (and most men are more than happy to comply in a bid to keep their self respect).

Fortunately i am not a married man but i do agree with the poster. Women naturally believe anything a man does for them is their right. Even if you give her access to all your bank accounts, hand over all documents of your assets to her and make her custodian,take care of her family members...it is never enough. You buy her an emerald and she wants a diamond instead. You buy her a C-Class mercedes and she is offended why you didn't buy an ML. You build a house for her father and repair the leaking roof of your own father's house and she will complain that you aren't doing enough for her own people.

It's not as if they don't know the effort you are putting in but they always have unrealistic expectations. They all have this fantasy of their "ideal husband" who can provide everything they want and when you aren't meeting up to that expectation, there will be trouble. They only start appreciating you when they see you are getting tired of them and thinking of moving on. They only appreciate your effort when you aren't there anymore. They appreciate your effort when they see the grass isn't greener at the other side.

Any man who thinks he can please any woman on earth is deluding himself. Their needs and wants are more vast than the pacific ocean. Just do what you feel is right and necessary and leave it at that. Do not expect much appreciation...even if they make compliments, they are more or less telling you they want more of what you are doing. If you take her to Dubai on vacation this year and think you have done a lot, be rest assured she is expecting the next trip to be in Paris and she wants to climb the Eiffel tower to take pictures to put on facebook.

Nuff said!

philip0906:
yh. . .u sniff and drink anything dt has 2 do with Christianity like it itches ur ba.lls. . .u prolly thought what u typed there made sense? greegory

lol...it makes sense and you know it. Now, lump it.

Hugo7:
am very sure u re not a christain..

No i'm not and not religious either.

dayokanu: Bill gates got married at 39 , You mean before he got married, He wasnt respected in some circle?

The former French president Sarkozy was "single" at some time while still in office you mean he wasnt respected at that point?

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR THAT. How about Jay-Z? He was 39yrs when he got married and he was definitely respected the world over to the extent he has an express road named after him in Nigeria during the Yar Adua administration (it's called CARTER ROAD). How about Obama? He was 38yrs when he got married and that explains why his kids were still very young when he became president.

A lot of folks here really need to think twice before they type.

Johndoe100: Well you see i am not talking about newly weds. To be honest you get to a stage when you must groom the next generation. On a purely social level, you can't fit in with the "boys" if you are still single. Note though we are much older than you.

EXACTLY!!! So in other words, the only reason you are getting married is to fit in to the societal expectations of people. You are getting married to keep up with the Joneses. You are getting married so that people won't see you as the "odd man" out.

This my friend, is one of the several WRONG reasons for getting married i have emphasized on countless times on this forum.

Johndoe100: I agree with harakiri on a lot of things but not on this. I realy enjoyed being single, however there comes that point when you must transition from big boy to bigger boy. Does this mean that yovr marriage will be good? Fun? Happy? If you are lucky it might. The fact is
that is the natural order of things.

So being married now translates into being a "bigger boy". Wonderful!

Billyonaire: Not at all, I have sent her to 3 driving schools to make sure she is perfect on the VI/Lekki fast pace roads, then when I asked her to use one of the old trucks, she insisted on brand new and suggest KiaSoul cos her friend owns one, I assume, she may have boasted her friends that she will get hers, but I considered safety.

Usually, i instinctively cut down crap talkers on this forum but DAMN!!! You have me beat!

I give up

Billyonaire: Some men are plain stupid, I am even begging my girlfriend to be driving to school with any of my cars, she said She wants her own car, and that she needs Kia Soul (brand new) which I connsider too fragile, I seriously begged to buy her Range Sport, she said, Kia is what she wants and I do not like kia, its just this morning We arrive at a decision to buy her FX 35, which I intend to buy for her month end. He is a stupid man to let his wife suffer. A man's glory, is the wife.

Yeah right! I also went on my knees begging all my girlfriends to use my cars, yachtes,private jets and space stations but some of them refused. One of them wants a Bentley but i think Bentleys are too ugly and i will be buying her a Rolls Royce ghost at the end of the week. Another one wants a bombardier jet but i'm thinking of putting her on the next NASA team that goes to space. Another wants a yacht but i have sent some deep sea divers to dig up the buried titanic ship so we can put in my backyard as a monument. Another one wants a space station but i have already bought 2,000,000 hectares of land for her in Mars so she can be rest assured that the future of her unborn children are secured.

You ain't the only one who knows how to talk $hit $hit-head!!!

@ronkebp

- The truth is majority of men marry the wrong women from the beginning, all beacuse they married her for the wrong reasons, and whoever is wrong will remain wrong only if there is a divine intervention.

Specify these "wrong reasons".

- i personally love the bad, tough guys with the type of your mentality, they are always very interesting, their attitudes and nature baffles me, i kinda get close to them and diasect their reasoning on a personal level, but well....

I am NOT a "bad,tough guy". In real life, i'm a very easy going and simple person (apart from my drinking and smoking habits...but that's where it stops). If you met me in real life, you would actually think i'm one of these born again Christians...problem is, i am not religious...lol

i don't have time for that anymore, so my experience has thought me, that a man will always be a man, forget all those hard face, strong muscles and ego, they will always FALL.....and flat [ i mean]

It's not about hard faces and tall egos. It's about diverse opinions and perspectives. It's about different schools of thought. Get in with it and don't get it twisted.

- Gba bee!!! you can date as many and enter as many, but trust me, you will always get hooked to one, and i mean "the one", now, she can later on turn out to be the worst-off or the best. ...

"The one" exists in one place and one place only. Guess where? THE MATRIX MOVIE!!!

Miss_Ife: wow harakiri, I didn't think I'd be honored with such a long reply, though I was kind of hoping one

I don't have to convince you of anything and you don't have to either, I've always liked people who live what they say, and you seem to be one of those. I'm not saying you shouldn't be talking about marriage because you're not married, but you can't look at people from the outside and tell them they're not happy, after all, only them know how they feel deep down inside. So if I'm telling you I'm happily married, you'll have to believe me... or not, after all, that won't change the way I feel

@sagamite : I get you, tks for replying.

@ both : love the way you call me babes, sweetheart, buttercup and co

@ronkebp : tks dear, I wrote it as I felt it

Look...

I'm not saying all married folks are unhappy. What i am saying is most married folks I KNOW are unhappy. Apart from my personal perspectives, look at the sort of sob stories that flood this section for goodness sake!!! You'll see stories like :

I am tired of my marriage. Somebody help!

My wife wants to kill me. What do i do?

My husband is an animal. Do i divorce him?

Threads like these flood these section on the daily (actually, i've noticed a decline compared to the dozens of sad threads every week).

@ronkebp

Shush!!!!!!!!!!!!are we still on this topic.....

Miss-Ife, i must commend your first post on this thread...i loved it....you are a darlyn dwarlyn.....

Sweet

@Sagalulu.....forget all these your sentiments with regards to marriage...all of them will fly right out of the window when the right lady comes along

...and how many men do you know who deliberately married the WRONG LADY? Hmmm? Most folks who get married (apart from forced marriages) believe they got married to the "right person"...few years down the line, it's the holocaust. Nice pep talk but it's crap and you know it.

....i have dined and eaten with men that think like you do; and in the long-run, they turn to vegetables... And that is a promise!!!!

How come i've heard this line over 100 times? It's as if there's this "biotic-woman" server up in space where all the females download updates from. Interesting stuff.

Even the mighty always fall, whether now or in their old-age!!!! A man will always be a man

Typical scare tactics. The only people scared of being alone in old age is WOMEN!!! And they desperately try to cultivate that fear in men. The only thing that would make me scared at old age is being broke! At 70, i can phuck 30yr old pretty ladies so long as i am paid...WORD!!!

@Miss_Ife

@sagamite, harakiri and co : I always enjoy reading what you write about marriage and relationships because you guys sound so full of energy and ambitions that I can only admire your youth and will to not compromise on your happiness

Thank you. Full of energy and ambitions? YES! Admiring my youth and happiness? Now what da phuck is dat? How old are you sef?

There's something I've been wanting to ask, though, why are you fighting so hard against the idea that marriage can be good to some people ?

Last time i checked, the only thing i fight for is to get cheddas. Concerning relationships and marital issues, i simply state things as i see them...period! I don't live in delusions sweet heart. I'm as blunt as they come. Marriage is bull$hit and no one here can give one credible reason that proves otherwise. I stand to be corrected (even by the so called "happily married" folks)

From what I know, you guys are not married ?

YES! We aren't married. So what? From your tone (which i've heard from a lot of ladies who speak "womanese" fluently), what you're trying to imply is that since we aren't married, we should not be talking since we don't have "marriage experience". Two words : BULL $HIT!!! It's only a fool that waits for experience to teach him or her (a word is enough for those who know)

I don't quite get it, nobody's forcing you to get married.

And who ever said anyone was forcing us to get married? We come here and state our opinions and all of a sudden you're threatened. Truth is definitely the ultimate samurai sword!!!

It makes me smile cause when I read you it makes me think of all those "diet obsessed people" who frown if they see you eating oily stuff.

It makes me laugh coz you're really displaying an awful lot of unwarranted sentiments here so definitely, something we said is getting to you.

NB : KEEP UP THE GOOD WORD SAGA!!! After all our beefing,quarelling and endless battles on this section eons ago, we are finally contributing to the common good. We are helping the earth. Man power for real!!!

To each their own, I like my fried chicken, you like to be single, let's just agree that we enjoy different things.

I like my fried chicken,baked beans and noodles (bad mix but i love it). So what on earth are you yapping about buttercup?

And btw, I think you are right for not compromising before you get married... marriage can be something simple and fun where you can be yourself, and life doesn't start/stop at marriage...

This is getting boring sister.

Now, that being said, I just can't wait to read you guys once you actually get married

That's gonna be a long wait.

Congratulations in advance!!!

You now know how to drive. That's a good thing.

Apologies in advance!!!

You are still a newbie in driving and you expect your husband to hand over his car to you all because you can move a car and obey traffic regulations? Sorry madam! No one wants dents,bashes and scratches on their car especially if it's the only one they have. Newbies in driving ALWAYS make blunders (i had several during my early months of driving at 18yrs and wrecked my mom's car to shreds...we were customers are the mechanic ). There is no way you will move that car for a maximum of 2 weeks without one wreckage or the other. It's perfectly normal but he is obviously not prepared for that. If you can't live with it, buy your own car and wreck it to bits in the process of gaining experience.

End of!

Good luck.

(1)Vanity upon Vanity is Vanity!

(2)What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?

(3)E go better

My brother...no be only you ooo! The thing tire me no be small. Everyday, i get at least 2 dozen calls for AGO and almost every agent who calls claims to have a buyer who got vessel and the seller disappointed and as a result, they want to be granted ATB before confirming vessel. Funny thing is if you ask them to forward the expired vessel of that so called buyer, they vanish into thin air.

Then there are some that will forward vessel details that are different from the name of the buyer meaning, there is no vessel to begin with. Then there are some that will bring up all sorts of unrealistic procedures that makes you wonder if they think it's stolen AGO they want to buy. Finally, there are agents and buyers that will always complain about every price you give them e.g weeks ago when AGO was going for between 125+2 to as high as 134+3, i had an SPA for 100,000MT AGO at 120+3 and believe it or not, these idiots will still complain that "it's on the high side".

How many person wan talk?

Sagamite:

Correction young man: I am not a Real Man, I am All Man.

A Real Man would never say what I say. They only say what women want to hear so they get a good pat on the back from women for being a "good boy".

Apart from that, great points and observation.

In terms of the highlighted, you are on point. I should add that the typical fine girl that would say nothing is wrong with her stinking attitude would change it to a nice attitude if she ends up not married and her looks start fading. Then she would be complaining that I am a nice girl why don't guys want to marry me.

God forbid I marry a fine girl with bad personality. God forbid I marry a not-so-fine girl with great personality.

I would gladly bang the fine girl without personality and never put a ring on it. I would gladly bang the not-so-fine girl in times of poor form and never put a ring on it.

I aint compromising before marriage.

I thought i was the only one from that school of thought.

Sagamite: For all:

Some of the lame arguments I here frequently from people trying to get a single guy married:

"You will die lonely and miserable"

Err, No! He would have fun and when he gets old there would still be several women (men die before women), some widowers, some divorcees, some young girls that love older men that he can still settle with. Women till the end of the world will always want company, so these women would gladly date him. All laid on the table for the man after years of tapping a variety of arses.

"You have to marry young so you can still play football with your kids when they are young"

BULLSHYT!

No 1, what guarantees you that you will have a boy?

No 2, I know many young married men. I don't know any that plays footballs with his kids. Even if they did, I doubt many father do at any form of intensity that a 45 year old can not.

All these useless scare tactics to make men please women.

You forgot to add :

You're "beanies" work better and make her pregnant faster when you are young...lol

Sagamite:

So fucking well said.

I was thinking about it about 30 mins ago to say it on NL but it slipped my mind.

So absolutely fcking well said.

I have learnt in life that you can never be happy with a woman and you are not mature enough for long-term relationship with a woman until you are capable of telling her to go to hell if needs be and she knows you would.

I have become fcking good at that shyt men. I am a professional! None of that "You are everything BS".

I let them know I can and would move on. Behave or you are a goner! No matter how fine you are, there are hundreds of you out there and I am good at getting them.

End of!

ifyalways: ^ the second paragraph is superb! Aptly put.
80% of married men I know are extremely happy, proud of their wives and would do it all again if given a second chance.

80% of men i know are also "happily married". They put up the facade of being happy in their marriages and yet, they turn into something else when in the company of the old time buddies and spend 99.9% of the discussion time either complaining about their wives/inlaws/children or talking about some new chick that's giving them the joy that's lacking in their marriages. It's all a facade and nothing more. Any man who appears "happy" in his marriage is getting that "happiness" externally.

The most beautiful time in a relationship is the dating season when the woman is at her "best behavior". Once the ring of bondage is on her finger, she drops the act. Once a child comes through, she reveals her true self and doesn't give a damn coz she knows the bond is now complete. The only time when the woman behaves herself is if the husband is a loose cannon that can dump her in a fraction of a second (even with 5 kids in between) AND SHE KNOWS IT!!!

The lovey dovey type of guys are the ones who get man handled by their wives and live miserable lives. Give me one reason why any sane man should get married and i'll give you ONE DOZEN REASONS why a man shouldn't!

Nuff said.

Nice house. Is N90M the asking price? Is it in Lekki Phase 1? How about the issues with water creeping into houses? I sent an inquiry to your gmail.

Sick ride!

I am unmarried and hopefully will still be unmarried till i'm at least 39 before flipping the coin to either marry or impregnate one pretty girl to have a heir...period!

Marriage is a "woman's thing". A man can easily live with a woman,have kids with her and still have a wonderful relationship/union together but how many women will be happy with that or even agree to that (especially if the man is rich ?).

Marriage is no longer what it used to be. The foundations have been broken down. Marriage is no longer necessary. There is nothing like the right partner. Almost everyone who got married believed they were marrying the "right person". Nobody in his or her right mind will deliberately marry the wrong person (except in cases of forced marriages).

At first, i used to be confrontational when religious folks try to make an issue out of my non-belief in religion. Now, i just give them a bored look and regard them as cows!!! (no offense). Rather than arguing with the sheeple, it's best to use your life as an example for them. Mind you, they will always be wishing for one calamity or the other to befall you so that they can gloat and say "YES! god don catch am!".

Arguing with someone who has been brainwashed from childhood is pointless. Bantering with someone who is irredeemably biased towards anything other than what he/she has been taught is a waste of time. Atheism unlike religion doesn't seek converts. You are either born into a non-religious society or you drop religion based on your doubts in it's credibility. These are simple facts that appear hard rocks for religious sheeple to swallow. Their brains can't comprehend how a human being can survive this harsh world without believing in something supenatural.

Nuff said!

Stallione: I dnt undstnd wot u guys are trying 2prove here oo,all I no is dat car is car n its meant 4everybody,women too drives wrangler n so on.U guys are being disturbed by ur mind set.

No doubt women do drive wranglers but how many have you seen doing that? Can you compare the number of female wrangler owners with the Matrix? Quite often, it's usually their boyfriend's wrangler (not all though). When you see a Matrix coming through, you expect 9 out of 10 for the driver to be a lady (young lady in fact).
