Kirinwa: Dyt. It's all about attitude.I have nothing against the girl wanting good things.It's just her attitude.Like it's either this or never kind of girl.The truth is that I can spend much more for a girl I truly love and desire if I know she's an asset worth having but telling me to buy her an engagement ring worth 3 months of my sweat even before I propose may make me think twice about her. Na Jazz?

SniperInADiaper: No! She just "knows her worth"

Giggles

Giggling!!!

Acidosis: 1. In some churches here in Nigeria, couples and intending couples do not use rings (wedding or engagement). They don't believe in rings... Joining is done with a Bible and not a ring... Now don't tell me they are poor The general overseer Pastor is rich enough to buy the whole of Congo...

2. The equivalent of $5000 in Nigerian currency (naira) is N786,850.
N786,850 is far more than what most profesors earn a Month in Nigeria.

3. Remember you're in a Nigerian forum, and not a congolese's, american or chinese.. So dear, mind your figures or better still consult your rich fellas....

I'll keep up my hustling but pls, always remember the word "moderation" in all you set/plan to do...

Cheers

adconline: When was the last time u gave urself a $15k gift? Should u not love urself more?

Orpelin: I'm loving this
A total of 3-month full salary saving for just engagement ring.
One more question: When did U intend to settle down?

2goodbobo: Is obvious that you a one lil arrogant spoilt brat who does not want to wake up to reality. Simply because you are born with silver spoon in your mouth does not mean you must be treated as such by a Man. What if you were not born into a rich family, would have ask for a ring that is worth 15,000 dollars?

Half chinese ko half congolese ne. Smh for you

jmoore: Anyone can claim to be Bill Gates child in an anonymous forum

$15,000 or $25,000 ring is not a
shocker to me.

The money is not the problem, your attitude towards the ring is the problem .

Acidosis: I'm tired of hearing/seeing half this & that!
You're congolese living in Chinese
or
Your Dad is Congolese married to a chinese (mum)

Either way, you're still a Congolese!

So ma, where and when (22+years ago) did Dad proposed to mum?

adconline: Fairy tales continue! One of those stories where ur parents were superhumans and years ahead of their peers. They always came on top in all their endeavors until adulthood caught up with them.. Lol

jmoore: thats why I said you need to grow up, liar liar!

Acidosis: I want to believe your above 23years..

Your Nationality pls?

2goodbobo: When all fingers are pointing to you, then their is something wrong. Nobody is saying you should not get what you want, but learn to be considerate. What if he can't afford such amount of ring? What if he wakes up one morning and give you a ring that is not worth the amount you wanted? What will you do? Will you reject it?

Between is very wrong for you to construe that we are "villagers" in these forum simply because almost everybody is not in consonant with you.

jmoore: "fairy tale principles"
grown man? Ask your dad how much he spent on your own mother's engagement ring.
You need to grow up!

Idowuogbo: Yeah yeah! Even beggars would come online and claim dey own Bar-beach. Na2day?

Truckpusher: if your man is ok with the whole idea of spending his hard earned three month salary on engagement ring only ,then go ahead but lemme assure you that the day he loses his financial security and things didn't change for good for a very long time, he'll despise you........truth is no sane man respects a woman that makes him spend unesscearily no matter how rich he is.

Sweetlemon: E eya!
I have been going through and studying the op's comments.
No, she's not a gold-digger. Just a helpless cinderalla romantic who has been dreaming of her wedding and prince charming for so long that she's so reluctant to wake up to reality.
Op, no need to feel bad joor. Most girls dream, or have dreamt of diamond rings at one point in time or the other. Only thing is that as we grow older, we start waking up to reality that not all of us will be lucky enough to marry such men and so we start to lower our standards and console ourselves with stuff like "things will get better" "I'm not materialistic so I don't care" etc.
Op, there's no crime in wanting a man who can spoil you with money, but please, don't put your mind on ready made only, look out for potentials as well. A hardworking, focused, self-controlled, well connected guy is a keeper my dear, even if he hasn't yet hit the jack pot.
ABOVE ALL, make sure a man loves you!!! The contents of a man's heart is more important than his bank acc. You may meet a rich guy who can afford a giant rock but may make your life miserable afterwards. So endeavor to see the man's heart first before accepting his ring o! This is however not to say that broke guys do not have their own wahala (talking from experience)
Let me finish off by saying that when a man really loves a woman, he gives her the best, materially, physically, mentally, socially, spiritually, etc. So saving 3 months salary for a ring shouldn't be too much wahala for him esp as she will be wearing it forever.
However, bear in mind that for most guys, buying an engagement ring is an emotinal issue. Most guys spend according to how special the girl is. The more special she is, the more beautiful the ring will be, so op, concerntrate more on being a special girl to the man whose ring you will wish for and watch him bring your dreams to reality.
Goodluck op!

Kirinwa: No No No.It's not about wrong crowd.Are you trying to say that because we don't agree with you we're wrong crowd?You even used the word villagers to address us earlier.
I can only understand what will happen if your guy disagrees with you on some key issues.
Remember so far no one has supported your line of reasoning.Even your fellow girls don't understand you more less us.
Girl grow up.Age has little or nothing to do with maturity.

yuzedo: Reading back on your comments, replies and tone, I do commend your maturity and coolness, not resorting to insults or defensive, cagey, uncouth and ratchety behaviour shows you might really have some class and intelligence.

However, bottomline still remains: Your message is in poor taste, and your desire is quite selfish and shor-sighted. I'd ask that you reconsider, but that would be an exercise in futility. As you said, to each his own.

Therefore, I wish you best of luck. Cheers.

sexlog: You are an iidiot!
I guess you are the pauper here who wants to reap where she does not sow. Bloody gold-digger!
Just imagine this consumate retarrd calling people here broke just because they are enlightening her on how to live a meaningful life. Look, their are people on this

yuzedo: Bia, you dis foolish geh with your wicked message, you dey sell ring? Na market you dey market your business so?!

See as you dey ginger as if say na beans. You don't even care about love, you just wan makes sure say your ring fine pass your neighbour own.. Shiorr! Na una type dey marry at 40yrs, divorce at 41yrs!

SniperInADiaper: I recall something along the lines of you not dating guys who wouldnt be able to afford such.. so yes.. You are a gold digger. Truth hurts right?

micheall36: I pity any dude thats gonna marry u gurl, Real sucker for a wife thats what u are, dahm!!!....have read all ur comments and how u jump on any one who go against ur wish, ur even saying you dont mind if the guy wear a 1k ring as long as yours is expensive, can u see how selfish ur dahm asss is?..... i pray ur bf read this and give u a big boot!!!!......

i bought a $3k usd ring for my fiancee, and am about to propose in few month,i only bought that cause she is classy and love her thing to be diffrent,
Am self employed and pay ma self salary,WHICH IS WHY I AM ABLE TO AFFORD THIS RING, However am gonna make sure she promise me in future that out unborn son gonna propose to his girl with this same ring ( so that she gonna keep it safe, $3,000 USD is 450,000 naira, no be mai mai) How much ring did ur papa propose to ur mama with that u gonna be looking for $20,000 ring.

I would go above and beyond for my man. I would give him the world. I am not afraid to spend money on my man. I am not selfish, I would do the same for him, even more.

u no well. Men are in trouble!!!! Girl like u only look for such expensive ring so as to grab enough dollar or see what u can sale when u call of the marriage or watever. Am feeling so so pissed off with ur kana mentality.


20k ring ma azzz!!

DnigerianPrince: @op

3 months savings? When did an engagement ring became tithes that you now place certain percentage on it?

Have you wondered why you're still single? It's not rocket science, you're placing too much emphasis on material things.

There's a friend of his who will do anything to have him for a $100 ring or none while you're there waiting for $15k.

Dey there
