excanny:
I'll like to suggest that if we even want to use some of these foreign names, we can localize them to spell like our native languages.

For example, i've seen some Igbo people Igbonize
a biblical greek name like 'Peter' into 'Pita'.

There's a Yoruba movie titled 'Jenifa', which i think is probably a Yorubanized form for
the Welsh name 'Jennifer'.

If we can localize some of these foreign names into our own forms like the English do, it might still be fine.

Gbam!!!

Nigerian men are the close-minded bastards I've ever seen in this world, my God! What the bleep makes a man more special than a woman? his manliness?? please, you have succeeded in deceiving these poor Nigerian woman and they are okay with it. it's scary!! . preaching about what the bible says a woman must do. No, i'm not going against the bible and i know i don't know the bible well but there is no where it says a wife should be submissive to her husband. A husband must respect his wife if he wants the respect too.

[color=#990000][/color]i fuckin hate Nigerian men, you should you could control any girl/woman besides your Nigerian women/girls, Man the bleep up and stop lying to yourselves.

Stop stereotyping, how many Nigerian men have you dated to arrive at that conclusion. Is your mum not enjoyin her marriage and does that make your Dad non-nigerian. You have not just met the right ones, chikena!!!!

- go to her hometown and build a house for her parents

- send her younger ones to school

- buy her a BlackBerry so she can have a BB PIN to pose with.

- send her loads of money and your pictures of course.

Try and talk with her, she might have more reasons for her decision

Myne White:
Meaning?

Just surprised you havent seen such before.

@Outstrip
Let me outline the ones i have problems with

Going out with friends

Friends are important whether you’re in a relationship or you’re single. If your man is giving you a problem about you seeing your friends, especially if you see him often, it’s an issue to immediately handle. It’s a sign of trust issues and a controlling nature among other problems. While you should deliver an appropriate amount of time to the relationship, it’s also important to allocate personal time to other loved ones.


Most times its not about trust, if your partner is not comfortable about your friendship with a particular person(s), the best to do is to demand his reasons for that(with an open mind). You know humand beings are so deep and sometimes we dont seem to understand them even till we die, your partner might notice some bad attitudes in friends you keep and move with, so it is only fair for him to stop that. If a guy should get married to an ex-prostitute you dont expect him to allow his wife to still keep her prostitute friends as friends or even allow them to go out together.

Walking away

Whether it’s walking away from a job that makes you unhappy or an abusive relationship, never apologize for walking away from something that makes you unhappy. You are with yourself every hour of every day and no one has to deal with your unhappiness more than you do. No one needs to be in an unhappy situation if it’s something they can walk away from.

This is where understanding comes in. Sometimes you see people doing things they are not comfortable with just to save the life of their loved ones, if you truly love your partner and not selfish sometimes you can go out of your way to do certain things. I am totally against that especially the "walking away from a job that makes you unhappy"

Personal style

Personal style is just that; personal because pertains to the individual. A woman should be able to wear what she wants without anyone telling her that the style is not good enough. While there are dress codefor example what to wear to work or an event, if you feel comfortable in it and believe it looks good on you then you’re entitled to wear it and be happy without someone else telling you otherwise.

You cannot wear something meant for prostitution and expect your man to clap hands for you. My woman cannot follow me to certain places without dressing in the right way. e.g. going for a meeting with business partners/colleagues, remember that saying "You are addressed the way you are dressed". Secondly, I cannot have friends in the house and my woman runs around the house with her transparent pyjamas, i will ask her to go change it.

Taking risks

Whether it’s skydiving or quitting to pursue a job you really want, you don’t owe an explanation to anyone for the risks you take if they involve only you. Life is too short to not pursue the type of life you want.

There should be mutual agreement before taking some risks especially if its the one that the negative outcome will not affect only you. You might put your partner in a big mess should the outcome not favorable, so you have to consider that too

Outstrip, I hope you will find the above satisfying to your question

thaira:
High Chief, I think you used the correct word- considerate. When one considers the other, then things will work out.

Gbam!!!

NIKKnJAZZ:

High chief, Half of the guys there are already doing these things

Myne White:
Wow, now that is one I've never heard before. I salute the maturity on all your parts,

hillsate:
You see, you are one of africa's numerous problems. If you dont agree with a line of reasoning, you simply say so and say why? Do you have to be insultive about it?
Africans like you hardly read and it was for this reason i use the word "MOST" in capital letters.( Check the first line of my previous post). i know humans like you exist. Why then would i want to name anyone CHYZ (Chizoba) when as per your case it will be an ever present reminder of carelessness. WAKE UP MY GUY!

You know nothing about beautiful Igbo names and stop talking through your bum hole. Dammmnnnn, I think some people are plucked from the tree

Outstrip:
The grade of men we have in Nigeria is really scary sometimes. To say the least. Look at men getting offended because a woman is being encouraged to be hmmm let me see A FREAKING HUMAN BEING. The most insecure under achieving men I have ever seen. If you are intimidated by a woman's success then maybe you should not get married. Maybe you just not even have a girlfriend. Just sentence yourself to a life time of jacking off and mediocrity. What woman wants a man that is not confident in himself. Unfortunately many women in Nigeria feel like they are not complete until they drag a man home. Please guys stop embarrassing yourselves. Work hard and make yourself worthy of a woman who is turned on by a great man

You are getting the whole thing wrong, nobody is saying its wrong for his woman to earn more than he does, but its surely a big problem when she does things without givin a damnnn about how he feels, just the way a woman would want her husband to respect her own views. IMHO love conquers all and each partner should always put the other person into consideration when taking decisions, even down to little things. I got a particular Jacket one time and very expensive too but my gal never liked it on me and I stopped wearing it.

I have most of my exs as friends on facebook. Infact my immediate past girlfriend is my friend on facebook and we share comments and all, after sometime she had her present fiance to add me as a friend too, so I became friend wit the guy, sometimes i chat with the guy and comment on his pics too. They are headin to naija this December for their wedding so it depends on the level of maturity.

steeze:
High chief how u go marry woman wey im bosom don sag? If e com born pikin how d bobi go take be?? Abeg, say no to nodding bosoms. We want quality products.

She might have other good qualities that will make up for the saggy bosoms, how about you have a woman that has a standing bobi and you are not happy in the marriage. Just an advise bro

All the feminists here, why dont you take it the other way round and see how it feels. What if your man should be the one that does those things without considering how the wife feels, you will still see him as a caring man rite. This post is senseless

steeze:
Guys say no to saggy bosoms we deserve better!!! @xynerise and d-sense, u guys crack me up!

Bro don't put that first when chosing a wife

koolchicco:
Vic and Queen? Lucky Cow(s?)!!!!

Are you the same Koolchicco on Youtube?

chyz:
Im glad you opened this thread because i find it such a shame for Africans to continue giving their children or themselves these european and arabic names. Are Europeans and arabs giving their own children African names?No. This is just a slave mentality. Then they will you an excuse of "It is in the Bible" or "It is in the Quran".Whether it is or it isn't it is jewish and arabic and not your people's name. Why not find out the meaning of those names and translate it into you native language. I'm glad i only have my native names.

God bless you, it is totally wrong, I dont know what happened to our beautiful African names, another painful one again is not teaching the kids their language even some parents that live there in Nigeria still want their kids to speak only English.

You cannot base your critieria for choosing a wife solely on how firm her b.reasts are, there are so many things that can sag a woman's breasts

Yeah nice, but I dont agree with all the points outlined, if a woman tries to uphold all that, trust me your marriage/relationship is heading to the rocks

Same here, I was voting for him, but never watched.

We are all human beings and can always change, so why not

This is really interesting, we all need to contribute in our own lil way than sit down and complain. We need to have these guys give account of their stewardship than walk away wit all their evil deeds. Ileke-Idi congrats on your new Governor, i pray he performs.

We ARE ALL WITH YOU. You are hurting. I read Firearms remarks from the beginning - he was really being supportive. I think that you are sensitive right now.

He was trying to be helpful - many times when a man offers his phone number to be of assistance or tells you to contact him at times we women will think he is trying to be more personal with us than he is trying to be.

When he let you know that he was with TJ - he was trying to assure you that he is being genuine and not trying to get into your panties. This was his way of telling you so you wouldn't take him the wrong way.

I think you mistook him somehow and thought that he was being rude to you when he wasn't. He has offered himself to others as well if they need help.

You are hurting right now and we just want to help you through your hurt. Because all of us understand and do sympathize with you.[/quote]We need more people wit your level of understanding on NL

@Poster
