SweetBuns: Good day nairalanders. Merry Xmas and a happy new year in advance.
I'll try to make this short and sweet. So I met this guy at my favorite foodspot not too long ago. He was tall, dark, handsome and jacked.... Basically the type of guy I like so I was obviously attracted to him.
He then approached and talked to me. Whilst we were at it, I remember him cracking some very bad jokes (not bad in like an offensive way, but a bit too dry), but for the sake of being polite I went along with it.
We exchanged contacts and met up for a first date not too long after. And to keep things short, he wasn't funny whenever he tried. At all. He did look a bit nervous, but It was still so bad to the extent that I felt uncomfortable watching him try and even guilty if I failed to laugh.
He's also very arkward when it comes to intimacy, the first kiss was really, really arkward and I could tell he was trying his best but......
He also has this habit of sending me some really unfunny memes
Besides that, he is truly loving, warm and sweet. We have a whole lot in common between us and I'm sure I'm attracted to him
Initially I thought it was something related to his initial nervousness and would resolve on its own with time, but things are still the same
I'm a really funny person and Ive realized that I bond best with the people I laugh and play around with.
Is this going to get better with time, or is this just who he is? But the sex is great?! 1 Like |

Exceed15: My problem with you ladies is that you elaborate a guy weakness and place less value on his strength. Make him free with you . Be more friendly as he is to u. Praise him in areas he's doing well. Trust me , You have some shortcomings too he's overlooking. What if he is considering some of your physical flaws too.. Stop acting like you are doing him a favour. It's a two way thing. All the best. Exactly 2 Likes |

Afikoo: The last time I bought a phone was in July 2021. A MI 11 Lite for 154k. The phone is the best phone I have used so far. Seamless, sleek. I haven't had issue with the phone . There is a need to change it as I feel it's getting old and the camera keep crashing.
I have been researching on phone to buy and honestly can't believed I have to spend almost 700k to buy a beautiful phone that suit my taste.
I am confused though. Please suggest a very strong phone I can get with 700k that will last for me. Thanks alot Vivo x100 Ultra... |

Family / Re: I'm Contemplating Divorce After Two Years by IbrahimSkiba(f): 12:55pm On Sep 03, 2024 |
Successtube: I never thought I’d find myself contemplating divorce just two years into my marriage. As a bachelor, I’d look at couples splitting up and wonder how they ended up there. Didn’t they date and get to know each other first? Didn’t they see the signs? And yet, here I am, standing on the brink of making the same decision. I dated my wife for a year and three months before we got married, and I thought I knew her. But I was wrong. She lied and pretended to be someone she wasn’t. Now, I’m starting to see who she truly is, and it’s tearing me apart.
Immediately after our wedding, I noticed changes in her that hadn’t been there before. One month in, we were not having sex like any newly married couple would. Every time I tried to be intimate, she’d have some excuse—a headache, feeling tired, or being stressed from work. I tried to be patient, thinking it was just a phase. But it didn’t end. When I finally asked her what was wrong, she bluntly told me she didn’t like sex. I was shocked. How could she not like sex? We had been intimate enough times while dating for me to believe otherwise.
“How can we have children if we don’t have sex?” I asked, trying to keep my frustration in check. Her response was indifferent, almost as if it didn’t matter. From then on, she’d sometimes only have sex with me during her ovulation period, like it was a chore to check off her list. It went on like this for over eight months, and I felt more and more disconnected. I felt unwanted, unloved. Every attempt to bridge the gap between us only seemed to widen it.
But the cracks didn’t just stop there. Through a relative of mine, I managed to get her a job that paid her 300,000 Naira monthly. She seemed happy, and I was glad I could help. Then, fate dealt me a blow—I lost my job. After months of searching, I managed to find another one, but it paid only 120,000 Naira a month. I couldn’t afford to stay home, so I took it, thinking it would just be temporary until I found something better.
My 120,000 Naira salary barely covers our expenses. I take care of the rent, food, bills, and still fuel my car to get to work. The one that hit me hardest was when our rent increased to 700,000 Naira around the same time my car’s engine gave out, needing another 500,000 Naira to repair. I felt the walls closing in on me. I was struggling, juggling all these financial burdens alone. I turned to my wife, thinking she’d step up and help. After all, she was earning more than double what I was. But all she could offer was 50,000 Naira.
I was speechless. She looked at me and said it was a man's duty to cater to his family, and she could only "assist." Her words felt like a slap. Here I was, drowning under the weight of our expenses, and she was holding back. I had to sell one of the lands I’d bought back in my bachelor days to cover the bills. I never thought I’d be in a position where I had to sell my hard-earned property just to survive while my wife, who I had helped get a better-paying job, stood by and watched.
The emptiness gnawed at me until I reached out to someone who had once filled a different kind of void in my life—my ex. We had broken up years ago because of distance when she moved to London for her studies. But we never really ended things on bad terms. There was always a "what if" lingering between us. Now, in my loneliness, that "what if" turned into late-night conversations, laughter, and the kind of warmth I hadn’t felt in a long time. I sneak out every now and then to be with her. I know it’s wrong. I know cheating is not the answer, but I felt like I was drowning, and she was the only one who could save me. With her, I felt alive again, seen, and heard. Things quickly escalated, and before I knew it, I was back in her arms. It felt like a betrayal of my marriage vows, but at the same time, it felt like the only way to reclaim a part of myself that had been lost.
I never imagined I’d be contemplating divorce, but here I am. I want to marry my ex. I want a fresh start, a chance to feel loved again. I don’t know if I can continue in a marriage where I feel more like a burden than a partner. Maybe it’s time to face the harsh truth: some people change, and some people never really were who they claimed to be. Maybe it’s time for me to choose my own happiness, to take a leap and start over.
Don't make the same mistake I made. Study your partner thoroughly before to married, don't rush! We wish you well.... 1 Like |

 Who hates on his Inferior?
Why would i hate on a group that depends on me for survival?
A group I gave a thriving business environment, A large customer base and even allowed you to acculturate into my society. In fact, its people need to take my name and learn my language to be widely accepted
A group that has its largest population away from home in my base despite not sharing no geo-boundaries whatsoever with me.
Same group i care so less about that i hardly move there in my tens.
Is that the same group I will hate on? Its like say the U.S is hating on Trinidad 
As for the other illogical assumptions u made, I once advocated that all Prof of logic in all Eastern Uni should be sacked as its 100% glaring that most of u have deformed logical reasoning

Those Magi from the East have always used "No working port in the South and East" as an excuse to travel 20000 kilometers from East to Lagos to come reside in their large numbers
Now there is a functioning one in Delta, that state shares its boundary with Anambra and some of the locals even speak Igbo
Time travellers should show us pepper by mass relocating back to the East and ensure Lagos economy retrogresses by 50%(at least, that has being their claims before now)
