It’s no longer news that fashion is taking a huge leap and many things that were tagged redundant by earlier generation are now resurfacing as trending statement pieces. Earlier before now, it is ridiculous to see a young man wearing Agbada when it’s not his wedding ceremony, he's not a royal figure or attending a ceremonious occasion in the palace.

Today Agbada is seen as attire for classy men – that are often addressed as “boss men!” Women are not also left out in the fashion rave as they have joined the league. Before we got here and Agbada became fashionable into today’s world, let’s take a look at what it used to be.

Take a insightful peep at what it used to be here: http://www.helenamag.com/fashion-history-of-agbada-a-lookbook-with-detailed-pictures/

When you are twenty something as a lady, there is a lot of pressure that keeps building and it gets worse when you approaching your late 20's and you are still not in any steady relationship – or worse single.

I have a great relationship with my mum and you just need to listen to the kind of advice she gives me – especially when it comes to relationships. She is one of the most realistic persons I have ever met in my life. She is more of a friend than a mum. Trust me, I don’t agree with her on many advice she gives, I am almost a complete opposite on her philosophies about life – especially relationships.
Truth be told, maybe what had kept me as a good and strong lady all this while is because she hits the nail right on the head and doesn’t try to sound sweet and paint life as a bed of roses to me. Okay, enough talking now, I am sure you are really eager to know the relationship advice she told me.

It’s like your whole world is about to crumble, your partner is at it again or perhaps this is the first time he/she acts in this manner.

once there's a way, believe it or not there'll be "customers"

I doubt that will ever be possible. Maybe eventually they will find a way, but not in our generation.

halfricanadian:
I really needed this

I believe i will have a good relationship nd marry my right partner

Tank u for the warm words of hope

I am glad I could offer them

halfricanadian:
Thank you

You are welcome

I really wanna give genuine chance but some how i cant i just get used to the person hurting me nd not care for a chance

Av tried hard bt wen sumone hurt me i try so hard to start afresh i just really cant they feel i dont want but God knows ow im dying inside to

life aint fair to sum people more like life hates me

And life doesn't hate you. We all have down moments, no relationship is perfect. You just have to open your heart and believe there is someone special out there made for you, that will treat you right. This is only a passing phase.

I can relate with what you are saying. First, you have to open your mind to the fact that issues may arise that will make you feel hurt. Your partner lying or cheating is an extreme issue that you may find hard to let go and come back to the way things are. That's why I said if there is genuine repentance - the person is deeply sorry and has stopped or changed from what they are doing cos they don't want to hurt or loose you. Sometimes they say they are sorry but keep doing the same thing over and over - this is a different case. I mentioned something on respecting your partners feeling on the concluding part of the article above. You can read it to get a better understanding.

mackhunter77:
na wa for this life sha.....yet no one feels (s)he could function better as a cow or whale and change their humanity for animal form

That's a new angle to look at it from. But guess no one would want to function less as a human or there is no way to achieve that yet.

Flexherbal:
Love is totaly different from trust. You earn trust over time.

Very true. I buttressed this fact in the remaining part of the article. You can go read it to get more idea on the topic.

halfricanadian:
Earning my trust is so so hard

Nd i dont want any one to try

ones u hurt me ones forget my trust for life
criosly i need no one to earn my trust

Hello halfricanadian,

I understand how you feel. But we are all humans bound to make mistakes. What happens when someone hurts us is to forgive and let them have another chance so far as there is genuine repentance.
