I'll tell you marketing.

Do you wonder why the number of gays are rising sharply all over the world?

It's marketing. A few years ago, indomie will not make the average Nigerian salivate.

But with consistent marketing, many can no longer do without it.

Every company in the world today markets their product. But ultimately, they want to create a desire in you to own such products.

Same way this sexuuality is being marketed to our young ones.

Look around you. From 1960 to 2015, gay relationship was almost never our problem, today we have so many.

You think we suddenly started giving births to gay children in Nigeria?

Or there's a direct correlation with media and it's continually increasing propaganda in every movie and every news article?

If you constantly tell people things, they accept it as the truth.

Look at north Koreans. Everything they do, Kim jung is almost always the center of it. He's marketed agrresively until he's accepted.

Sexuality can be marketed. Look around you today, fair ladies are the desire of almost every African because fair skin has been marketed to us as the standard of beauty.

Today, most men cannot love an obese woman but we forget that once in Africa, fattening women is a beauty standard.

And in some untouched tribes, men with pot belly are regarded as the most handsome men.

Marketing shapes the world more than you think my guy.

HacheNoire:
You were the one that mentioned it’s not nature. If a goat fvcks his mother and does not see a fault in it, how do you explain how a human gets and erection looking at same sex.

If I must confess, I heard this argument on TV where someone said if you can look at the picture of any man and get an erection, then you can prove it’s not nature.

Do you appreciate the engineering that goes into a woman being wet at the sight of another woman?

You think it’s a demon?

....

EponObi:
You need to head to Google to learn what it means to be financially stable.

Do you know how many animals shît and turnaround to eat the same shït?

Morals are not Trans-species. Simply because a he-goat fvcks his mother doesn't make it right for a man to do the same to his mother.

Some of you reason in the most irritating way to put it mildly.

Homosexuality is not natural.

HacheNoire:
Homosexuality is not nature?

I love the confidence you used to spew that false statement!

Do you know how many animals are into homosexuality?


If you believe it’s not nature, try get an erection watching gay porn.

You have to understand when to stop. There's always going to be a bigger and better place.

If you are choosing your life partner based on money, there's always going to be a better man or woman out there.

This is why people keep cheating on their partner.

Yes, single room is not convenient but you worked your way out of it because it's not a fixed constant.

Finance is not fixed. It goes up and down. Getting tied to someone for something as fickle as money is a recipe for disaster.

You want someone who genuinely loves you, choose to be by your side whether your money is rising or dipping. Someone loyal to you first.

Your finance can change anything for good or bad, your marriage should not be held by such glue.

Can you imagine someone getting married to you with no desire other than the life you can provide for them?

Let's use our senses please. Money is not all that important except it has been so marketed to us that we have accepted the illusion.

RealityKings1:
In 2021 I lived in alone in a single room for 2 years or there about. It wasn't because I liked it, it was because I couldn't afford a much better place.
I'm sure you were raised in a single room not because you guys didn't want a much better place.

Isn't that the same thing we say? Sex is what makes the difference.

Without that urge for sex, no woman has anything to offer a man that will warrant his desires to keep her company.

How many guys do you think will approach you as a leader if not that they are sexually motivated?

Guys hardly approach other guys why do you think that?

Mariangeles:
Let me tell you something; a woman is what makes you a man.

Without a woman, you're as good as a eunuch.
Not something to be proud of.

No. You be financially stable before you get married and then find someone who will marry you because of the luxury life you can provide for them so you can see how deep that rabbit hole will go for you.

EponObi:
Your still living on El Dorado.

Be financially stable before considering marriage. That's all. No where in my post did I say you should be rich. Financial stability is not equal to richness.

Wait until you are the partner someone is taking not because of any other thing but your ability to provide then you'll understand why love is important.

emmaodet:
LOVE?
Why do i feel uncomfortable with that word .... Love.


You know in today's world, this is not right.

I will rather take average money plus average Love over full Love/Little or No money or Full money/No Love

No. The first thing that will make you happy is knowing how little you need to be happy.

Greed and covetousnes is what has been marketed into us to desire things we don't need.

I grew up in a single room. I know I need very little to live

RealityKings1:
The first thing that will make you happy in the modern world is money😅... There are so many empirical evidence

Homosexuality is not nature. Homosexuality cannot reproduce their kinds.

If a man with genes of homosexuality marries another man, he cannot give birth to his homosexuality offspring.

It is not nature. It's a propaganda.

Why do you think suddenly it's included in all movies? It's a propaganda that grows as more young minds get corrupted.

Why do you think they are being included in children's books and TV cartoons?

It grows via media, not nature. This is why they hate it if you ban them from media.

This is why they alway want to be in the center of every talk show.

There's nothing natural about homosexuality. It dies as soon as you suffocate the publicity.

HacheNoire:
You can’t fight nature!

Ban, re-ban, abolish or condemn, you can never go against nature.

The earlier we start accepting these people, the better!

Nigeria is anti LGBTQ but we all know it’s ineffective. They still have a big community and networks that extends far into the corridors of power.

Faggøt spotted

Go to the west and rest there

Gotocourt:
I can remember when senate under David Mark hastily passed a law on that during GEJ administration. But terrorist and corruption is allowed to go scot-free.
Terrorism was a serious issue then, it took President Donald Trump's government to force Tinubu to act after 13-14 years.

Na we pray pass but very evil, hell better pass we country

Way to go.

No african is in the west promoting polygamous family because the west criminalizes it.

They tell you as long as two adults are doing their things in private, then it should be allowed.

But at the same time, a man who decides to marry more than one wife is a criminal offence in their country.

But somehow, it's alright if the same man wants to marry a fellow man.

Their WAY of gay marriage is HUMAN rights. Our WAY of polygamy is human right VIOLATION.

Somehow their perverse homosexuality way is right. And our ancestral way of polygamous marriage is wrong.

let the west allow polygamy as it does not affect any body. Then we'll consider their LGBT rights.

A hungry girl cannot love. But worst, a covetous girl cannot love.

The world is not hard, your hunger for a certain lifestyle makes your world hard for you.

More than 90% of Nigerian families live paycheck to paycheck.

Yes it's challenging, but they do it. No one is saying poverty makes you happy. What we are saying is money also will not make you happy.

Instead be genuinely interested in your partner. Get married to the person, not their wealth because of your selfish desire to escape poverty.

Don't you think your partner wants a person who loves them genuinely and not the money they have?

EponObi:
Keep deceiving yourself. "Everything is not money" is one of the biggest traps the society set for the unenlightened. Is it when you are poor that you are happy?

We are heading for historical, unprecedented global inflation in the next decade, but yea "Everything is not money"

My dear, everything is money. You live in a capitalist world; it's delusional to think otherwise.

While you don't need to be rich like the OP has portrayed, abeg, it's important to be financially comfortable at least before considering marriage.

Check the global trend, the rate of marriage and birth are nosediving, so much people like Elon Musk are sounding the alarm. Do you think people don't want to get married or give birth? People are no longer brainwashed with sayings like this. People now understand that if you follow societal trends and pressure that your financial muscles can't withstand, you will face the consequence yourself. People are rather checking out instead of facing lifetime financial pressure to take care children.

Seriously. The advice is total rubbish.

Love should be why you want to build your life with someone not money.

So, if you start a family with a rich man or woman and circumstances happen, then you divorce them because they are no longer financially capable?

It's such a senseless advice from the op

Jman06:
Money is never enough. Once you have a stable means of income, marry and build wealth together. Most wealthy men I know today were never wealthy at the time they got married.

And who says you must buy your wife a range, you can start with a Toyota Corolla, you must not send your children to private schools in Lekki. Expensive private schools is not a guarantee for brilliance. You must not go for vacations in Dubai unless you're lucky to eventually make it big.

Believe me, if you want to start waiting until you have made humongous money before marriage, chances are high that you might not marry eventually. God made this life very simple but na we humans dey complicate things for ourselves.

Don't mind that guy creating this sorts of rubbish threads.

They are talking as though money and not love should be the driving force of marriage.

Very senseless talk

GUNITGuy:
How rich was your father before your mum married him and I still staying .....mind you they married moat women then as virgins
Now you need a lot of money to marry a broke older non virgins in this day and age whats wrong with the world

This is wrong in every way.

Marriage is kept by love not money. I hate that we try to tie everything to money nowadays.

People who are rich also get divorced. So clearly, money will not keep marriage.

If you have all the money in the world and you get married to someone with all the money too without any desire for each other, it's clearly won't work.

But if you love someone genuinely and without any money, then you both can work together and live a modest life together.

There are government schools in this country where you can school your children for free.

Most Nigerians have little incomes over 100k per month and are successfully married and raising their kids.

Yes sometimes, life gets hard for these people, but they endure it together.

My father was a police man with 5 children. We lived for a long time in a single room and all of us attended school.

It wasn't money keeping his marriage but love.

Most of us came from humble beginnings. It wasn't money but genuine desire by our parents to build a beautiful family.

They didn't revolve their entire world around finance.

Finance was not worshipped.

You may say, one day emergency will come and you'll need enormous amount of money to solve the problem.

But I tell you, this almost never happens. And if it happens, well it happens. Not every problem can be solved.

There are also health issues which your money cannot solve.

Steve Jobs with all his billions died of cancer like every other poor man would have.

Please I beg you as a young woman or man, build your house on love.

I'll be plain with you.

It's all about sex.

Everything relationship between a man and a woman is all about the sex in it for the man.

There's nothing else you can offer a man that his male friend cannot offer 10x better.

Castrate a man and see if he'll ever desire to marry a woman for "something" else.

Diamond098454:
Can you stay? It's not all about sex
Everything is not sex sex sex sex

Una like deceive unaself eh. Which one is no man can stay without a woman?

Remove the urge for sex, most men will never talk to a woman from birth to death.

Trust me, y'all are not that great in the way you think.

You can't keep a conversation. You can't spend on a man. He can't discuss his problems with you. He can't ask you for help. He cannot ask you to fight for him. He needs to protect u. You cannot have his back in anything.

He tolerates you for sex and offspring. Every other thing he gets from his male friends.

Diamond098454:
Women give peace of mind very well that's why no man can stay without a woman

If you don't open earpiece to test, how do you choose the one that's working?

dominique:
Some Nigerians take advantage of the saying that "the customer is king" and put sellers through all sorts of stress. Why would you be expecting sellers to unpack and repack several of the items they're selling because you want to patronise them? After all that stress, you'll end up not making any purchase. You went at night, do you know how many of your likes they've had to deal with all day? You buyers need to put yourselves in the shoes of the sellers once a while.

Secondly, if it's too late at night and you think customers coming in are "disturbing" you, then close your shop and go home.

Some of una no just get sense ah swear

I have never tasted this before.

I have also not eaten snail or crab before or those big shrimps.

My father and younger sister can eat everything but never me.

I wish he was here still. I would gladly have eaten anything with him now

Something happened a few weeks ago that made me realize something.

Buying from an igbo man shop with an igbo attendant is a whole different level of customer experience.

Like you could almost feel the difference in the experience like night and day.

It gets to a point sometimes when you enter a shop and it's not an igbo selling to you, you'll just know without being told.

Last week I wanted to get earpiece from a shop. This is not my first time there. Probably my third or fourth time.

So I asked the sales girl for their earpiece available and she brought two. I tested the two, one was not working while the other was good but the sound quality was poor.

You know how these earpiece are.

So I asked her to bring another one let me test and she started complaining. "you're just opening these earpiece. I hope you'll repack all of them when you're through".

I told her that's her work as the shop attendant.

Then she went on to say rudely that's how you people will not buy anything you'll just come and give somebody work.

This actually made me angry because how I go live my house for night waka come your shop just to open earpiece?

I just told her if I don't get earpiece that's working, should I just pay for it?

Anyways, I was becoming irritated and decided to leave the shop.

I tried the one close to my house and the girl started the same thing before I even open the first earpiece to test.

That as I am opening that earpiece if you don't like it, you'll have to repackaged it o. It's not me you're giving that kind of work.

I immediately flipped on her. Probably because I don dey vex from the previous shop and told her straight away that if there's an igbo shop here nothing for even carry me near their shop.

And it was too late for me to go to the market that night if not why will I be here trying to get earpiece from her.

I've been buying earpiece always from igbo shop and no time has any of them ever asked you to repackage their products.

In fact as you're opening one to test it, they are opening another one for you incase you don't like the first one.

Na you go come dey even fear to disappoint am incase you no later come buy.

You'll still hear "oya test this one. You no like am? Oya make I go carry another one from shop come".

You will almost feel guilty not to pay for their products.

But here, these our TIV people will just be doing anyhow.

Look at the provision store on our street. Even though this man close to us is a local and friendly with people, most people still prefer to visit the igbo man shop closest to him.

Even me that he's shop is just beside my gate, I still trek a little to the igbo man provision store.

Because anytime I go to this TIV man shop, it's almost like he's doing me a privilege to buy things from him.

He'll first gist with his friends or do whatever he's doing before attending to you. Sometimes he'll not even acknowledge you until he's done and you'll just stand there like mumu or you have nothing doing thinking whether to leave or stay and wait.

But never the igbo guys. It's almost like nothing matters. As you are coming that's how they are attending to you. It doesn't matter what they are doing, they'll leave it first or apologize if it's really important.

Honestly, the igbo people do something right about this selling. Selling no be to just open shop and stock up o.

After ss3 everyone thought they have arrived. Not knowing the game is just getting started.

Here they start lookin down on their teachers, feeling like they are failures.

Waterlilly:
They will later regret all these shit

Next tomorrow was nothing but today it's something.

Gator is fine. You cannot say sharp crease to refer to the specific line on the trouser.

A sharp crease can mean a lot of things and more importantly, it's not specific.

Not everything is known in the English language and it's a sign of low intelligent to try and give everything an English name.

Just as some people call akara, bean cake or whatever.

It's gator. It's what we call it.

Why not add Friday?

Muslims need Friday as holiday

I didn't ask for your advice

nairalanda1:
Spend time with your future kids, daughter of man

I don't have kids. And I'm not your son

nairalanda1:
Spend time with your kids, son.

It's his belief and right

DeepSightZ:
THIS LINE ALONE REVEALS YOUR STATE OF MIND WHICH IS WORRISOME -



You need to refocus your life. You have no valid complaints.


Ordeal?

Hahahahahahahaha!

So why is he still campaigning?

I rest my case

nairalanda1:
Depends, but was he like that all the time?

Also being at home early does not neccesarily equal spending time with children. Papa can say he gat no time, he too tired.

I doubt if it's a matter of spending time with the boys.

For him to be home before the boy shows he's probably a home guy especially since he has money.

It's like my uncle, regardless of how good a business is or party is, he's always home before 8pm. Never beyond it.

nairalanda1:
Probably... but it is also a product of neglectful parenting

Man who died was rich. He was busy making money...wonder if he had time for his son

EVERY FATHER, who has boys must spend time with his boys. The more time the man spends with the boys, regardless of poverty or riches, the better the boys go turn out. Yes, boys model themselves on their father. NO woman can do this...which is why many single mothers with male kids struggle with bringing them up, unless they can find them strong male role models.

If you check very well, na product of gentle parenting

It's ugly though. The old ones look sharper
