@Ikemafe, LOL at your comment. You are very funny indeed, keep it up. Love you.
@all. Is it a bad thing to appreciate what is good; or did I do it the wrong way? Someone should please tell me. Have a wonderful night.*Recieve The Kiss of Someone who Loves You*. Have a beautiful night. Sweet dreams.

I asked for a simple favour, but I can see nobody is willing to help. Every body seems to be more interested in relationships. Sorry if I offended anyone; especialy the person in question. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. Maybe all in NL studied semantics. I came to NL because I did not have good friends, but it seems that those in NL are worse{sorry about that}. Is there anybody in the house that can prove to be truly DECENT, let him or her politely tell me where I was wrong, I would also need a friend(whether male or female) that have regards for what is good. Wish all NLs a lovely night. *Kisses* I love you all. For the good ones, I think we need our own forum where we can express ourselves and encourage one another to be strong because it is not easy to be good. Thanks to all those that read this, especially those that commented. May blessings never be far from you, the Lord will take care of all your fears, and grant you your heart desires. I love you, but Christ loves you more. Bye for now.

Please, for God's sake, leave this thread alone if you do not want to guess. If somebody appreciates a good thing, people will say you are interested in a relationship with the person in question. Let me tell you A YOUNG MAN AND WOMEN CAN BE FRIENDS WITHOUT BEING SEXUALLY INVOLVED. I REALLY NEED HER FOR SUCH KIND OF FRIENDSHIP. This thread was created to appreciate the good work she has been doing so far for countles members of Nairaland. I love you

RomanceRe: *- A Treasure In Nairaland* by Jamesbona(op): 6:20pm On Aug 07, 2009
She is not interested in any romantic relationship. I AM NOT TRYING TO DO THAT EITHER. For crying out loud, I am not like that; do you think everything is based on relationships. A man should be very careful about his life. Seek WISDOM SAYS THE BOOK OF PROVERBS. It is more precious than silver and gold. There are more issues that need serious advice other than relationships. Sorry, but you just proved me right-everybody is interested in evil. I need that different person for advice NOT for relationships. Somebody like me not people like most Nairaland members

In her, I saw almost am a replica of my personality, except manner of approach and the course she studies/studied. She has helped many with their problems, especially about relationships and love, but still single, types with speed of light, lives in the UK, respects personality more than material gains. Enjoys online chatting. Two major things are are common between me and her, we share the same BELIEFS and FEARS. I know you will be guessing I want to woo her into a romantic relationship; NO. Just trying to commend her good work. But truth be told, who do you think this rare gem is, so I would make sure I am being honest? You have all the clues for your easy answer. Please reply fast so I could move on with my story.<sorry about all the grammatical errors you must have noticed, spelling, syntax, I saw them but it is very stressful editing with a cell phone. Try and make a meaning out of it>

Do I need to tell you that such a day is already bad. I will go home and cry to my God. Currently, I have no friends; 'birds of a feather flock together they say. I usually stay in my room, and oops, the Lord has done it, I have a mobile phone connected to the internet, so a do a lot of browsing. Could you believe I wrote this with my cell phone? Stressful, you will say. Unfortunately, it seamed most people in Nairaland are as well immoral (sorry if it hurts). I was as if, what is our world turning into? What a life! No friends. No love no one to talk to. Always making every decision on your own. No one with whom to share your dreams and aspirations. No one to look into your eyes and say'I love you' oh! *sobs*. Only God. Once again, I prayed to God, prayed and prayed, but it seems the answer was not forthcoming. Oh my God where I you, I cried? What do you want me to do? And here she comes, when I have almost given up on Nairaland the much awaited answer,the only treasure I could find, the only person that can offer useful and helpful advice, analysing every situation as it appears, criticising constructively only when necessary, attacking issues not persons, and very politely, treating everybody with respect and politeness, I will be back, my mum wants to see me.

Sorry, I must continue in a separate reply.
I guess I am somebody with a difference, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, never had sex, a christian by the grace of God,(not mere going to church ). I believe the Lord also made me brilliant(currently in the university of, )[I will withhold some other qualities and Information for security reasons]. To be honest, it has not been easy so far. I do not have anybody I can talk to about my secrets, that I trust will give me a God-fearing advice. Those around me are not encouraging me at all. When I approach them, they will immediately change topic, 'look, he has come,' they will say, and begin to ridicule me, 'grow up' they will tease.

Have you ever been in a situation where you do not know what to do, kind of a crossroad, you know what is right, but you feel you can't continue to be good, when everybody seems to be more interested in evil, you are just about to give up and you thought otherwise, you remembered that someone still loves you- Christ the Lord, you begin praying as never before- oh Lord help me to remain good- it seemed God did not hear your prayers, and suddenly, as if by magic, our merciful Father answers? How did He answer?
It is not easy to remain good, especially in this corrupt century, when it seems everybody is more interested in evil. I am a young man that has really seen hell-though I believe much challenges and trying situations still await me. Though I sometimes lose my faith, I always remember that our Lord Jesus Christ will not leave His children-those who trust in the Lord is like mount Zion, unshakable. Saint Paul crowned it all by assuring us that the Lord will never allow us to be tempted more than we are able, but with every temptation will always provide a means by which we can bear it. Sorry I will continue later, the RAM of my phone is not as large as that of a PC. Calm down I will be back, I still have much to write.

Yeah I was beginning to get the feeling that Nigerians male and female had now accepted this western idea that casual sex before marriage is the way. I speak to my friends and they will always ask, 'did you have sex with him' 'oooh' 'maybe he left you because he loved you (HAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry I just had to laugh) But was too tempted or sexually frustrated, but didn't want to cheat on you',  Fair enough that a guy doesn't want to cheat so he'd rather end the relationship, but now I am being made to feel as if I am the fault of the relationship when from the start I had explained that I was very committed to my faith and that I was trying to get closer to God, that also I wanted to experience something that wasn't just merely physical,

Oh well, I must have been asking too much. Women, I advise we all sleep with 'our men' or fear losing them to girls who will! ***SARCASM***

Yes, I am also abstaining but my is it hard, especially when these days, you are made to feel as if your relationship does not mean anything if you and your boyfriend have not had sex and committed the 'final act of love' with each other.
Exactly,

[color=#008855]Haha, really?? Cool, cool.

Well, I'm 20. I act like I'm 40 online, and 15 in real life.

Now no one's going to find my advice helpful, since it's now been revealed that I'm not above 80 sad *sobs*. .

As for the 'idle' accusations and spending a lot of time online, I do a lot of graphic & web design on my computer as work, I enjoy chatting & discussing things and lastly I have broadband - get over it puh-lease!! smiley.

. I would like to learn about computers and the internet; I am very much interested. Unfortunately here in our country, we are not even given the slightest opportunity to maximise our potentials and see you are brought up in the UK, you are indeed lucky! Who cares about us here. Our level of English will speak louder.
TravelRe: Living In Nigeria For A Year. by Jamesbona: 12:07am On Aug 06, 2009
topup:
Hi,

I'm considering doing a work placement in Lagos next year (2010) and I was wondering about accomodation. Since I haven't lived in Lagos ever in my life, I'm not up to date. I've lived in Ife, and stayed in Abeokuta but Ife and Abeokuta are nothing compared to Lagos.
I'm a 20 year old Nigerian female, I understand Yoruba fully, and speak it competently, and I am wondering if you could all share some advice on how to go about living in Lagos for a year.

Which areas are advisable, which areas aren't, any tips.

Since I am also planning to work in Lagos, I was wondering how to secure a driver, whether one is necessary in fact.

Will my employer arrange such things, I have heard of people saying their employer have drivers. I know for a fact I won't be driving around. Also, the industry I am going into is male-dominated (Architectural firm).
As for family I have family in Lagos, but upon asking my mother she told me they live in the 'rough' area of Lagos, she suggested a family friend instead.

For the past 3 years I have been holidaying in Nigeria every summer, so I am used to the culture. That is not a problem for me, I am just worried about safety and accomodation, especially as I don't have any close relatives living somewhere close to where I intend to work.

How about renting a room in a hotel with security (is that too expensive?). Would I need a guide, or friend, does it matter if they're male or female.

Advise please.

Thanks in advance.
@Topup, many things I believe you must have heard about Nigeria is true. Please, for your own good, apply all the wisdom in your disposal when you arrive. Very dangerous things happen in Lagos. I personally consider that place as the most dangerous part of Nigeria. I couldn't help it but heave a sigh of relief at what the current governor(name withheld for security reasons) is currently doing there. His reformations are indeed heartwarming. Never let anybody there have any reason to suspect your are a 'stranger' when you arrive; it could be suicidal. Never think of living anywhere near Ajegunle or Alaba. Lagos is the largest city in Nigeria and hotels would charge exorbitantantly for a single day and to think about a whole year with reliable security and mobility, wow! it will be more expensive than you could ever imagine. You must not take my advice but if I were in your shoes, I would prefer to live under the security of whatever firm in question. In conclusion, the Bible urges us to be as wise as serpents and yet as harmless as doves. Without God by your side, you are going to regret your trip, sequel to this, you must pray HARD. Wish you luck, Don't mind me, you will definitely enjoy it when it comes. Wish you a beautiful night!

Hi,

Just wondering, I have heard this time and time again, and I need answers, who better to ask than the wonderful and beautiful audience of Nairaland. (Yes I'm in a good mood smiley )

People have told me, especially guys that when they were players that they would try and bed as many girls as possible, virgins, non-virgins the lot of them, telling them lies, getting emotional with them, whatever they thought would get the deed done. "But there was this one girl who never gave in, and until this day, I respect her."

That last sentence in the story I have heard it at least 3 times now from different people, and I'm just wondering is this a common truth?

Players remember 'the one that got away'.

Go!!
@Topup, My own belief is exactly what the Bible said: Do you see a man righteous in his ways? He has a happy end.
Take it or leave it, there is dignity in self control. You are more satisfied with yourself and more stronger when you say 'NO'! It is only the weak minded that give in to their every whims.

Hi, and thank you for your concern and kind words, I have been warned several times to limit the amount of info I put on here so I can't spill all, because people can exploit it.
I'm not going to go on and on about how many guys 'want' me now and how I am so over him, but I will say that it's completely my decision to stay single right now, here's the important bit - given the range of guys I have to choose from tongue. It seems to me that people are impressed by the meer *mere fact of people being in relationships, and nobody cares if it's the 'right' relationship. I mean I find myself saying "Awwww that's so cute." when I hear of friends who are dating friends, even with the knowledge that the same guy is known as a flirt, or the same girl has a bad reputation. Truth is it's not okay to just be in a relationship, that's what I did last time, I didn't put much thought into the outcome.

Right now I feel really easy-going, not stressing out about anything apart from the things I should be, such as academic stuff.
@topup, Excellent, so you are also interested in academics, and seriously too, to the extent of choosing to remain single? Forgive me; but I envy you a lot, I wish I could be more like you!
RomanceRe: "In Love" But Unfaithful by Jamesbona: 9:35pm On Aug 05, 2009
@topup, I am not very happy bothering you, I actually followed the link, surprisingly, they were talking about hair and all that-which is not what I need. I actually want to work on how I speak (I want to be more decent). My earlier posts will explain better about how I react to situations. I do not live exactly how I will be self fulfiled. Why did you say you don't know what to say? What is a blog? Do I open an adhoc email? Why not reread my earlier plea? Why not remove fears and monitor developments?

[color=#006600][/color]@secreyor, take it easy for crying out loud. You can simply accept you cheated and back out. If you continue lying, some will claim to see you even in the gutter, or in the dustbin. Be a gentleman. You know better than that. Or can you relate '2009 UME' with 'a graduate' withio a twinkle of an eye.

'eyonigger' - Though I don't know you personally, I still can'y help but feel disappointed that you put yourself in this position, I thought you knew better, I know we're all human, but you know what cheating means, no matter what 'type' right?? Now you're looking for like-minds for comfort, that's what you're doing. These same people will try and convince you that these things are normal and expected.

I think the bad feelings you have should prove that what you've done is not good. That bad feeling is what's left of your conscience. I don't believe you love your girlfriend as much as you claim, I mean if she cheated on you and blamed it on your absence, how would you feel, would you feel loved? I'm sure you wouldn't tolerate it, you know deep down how serious the devastation of cheating is to a relationship.

When you cheat, your mind becomes cloudy, thinking it's a normal part of life is the first step, then you might begin to neglect your current relationship further, feelings of guilt will affect the way you behave in your relationship. This means the chances of your girlfriend feeling neglected, being tempted herself by another guy showing more interest and wanting to end the relationship from lack of attention increases.

Before you know it, the cat's out of the bag, she finds out, she can't trust you, she leaves OR she finds out forgives you but the relationship is never the same, and you might as well separate and move on.

LOVE

@topup, though I do not like addressing people with their nicknames, I don't have a choice because I don't have any other identity of yours. Please do not nail me. I was actually enthralled by one of your posts so out of curiosity, I read more of your most recent posts which were also very commendable. Believe you me, I am not trying to flatter you, I want to acknowledge the way you handle matters here: very considerate, understanding, enthusiastic and intelligently too. Permit me to say that you are the only one I have noticed since I registered on this forum to criticize constructively and with tact too. Congratulations because I can not deny I am really impressed by what I saw.
Very long ago, I always desired somebody like you to help me with constructive admonition and criticisms. Somebody that will stand up and advise me wisely especially on academics and morals. Although I don't regret much about my past, I believe that a life that is not examined is not worth living (quote not mine). I need somebody to ginger me to take up challenges. That will make me strong and never to backout of challenging situations. I guess you posses these qualities. I am not asking for any romantic relationships but true friendship, devoid of immorality. I don't have friends I can trust so I resorted to this forum. Unfortunately, many people here use foul language which I detest; but I could figure out a real gem here. I use my mobile phone for browsing and I don't know much about the internet.
Please can you do me a favour by being my good friend and adviser because I am not living accurately the kind of life I wished to live. I would not like to share my private information here because of online dangers of sharing private information especially on this forum. If you are willing to help, then please tell me how we can talk more privately. Needless to say I will appreciate it if you can do it for me, you can rightly guess I will. Thanks for your patience in reading this.
