Morning Miss . . . . .

They probably thought the world is just black or white

akiolu:
Do you mean I should accept it that way?

Yes if the only problem with her is not uttering the overrated word "sorry".

Mallow:
It goes from stage to stage,one transcends from virtual world to real world.That is why you meet someone online,get to know few stuffs about them,and arrange to meet up with them.my opinion.

So is it wrong to meet someone online knowing fully well you had still get the chance to complete the process as you've explained in your post.

Mallow:
Getting to know someone offline and online is almost the same process,just as you meet someone in 'just one day' and get to know them gradually,is almost the same process in meeting someone online.Online is different because you get to communicate via the internet,mostly,while with offline,you get to meet up with them on some instances,one can also exchange numbers offline and online.It all depends really.But i still do not see a big difference there.my opinion.

What's the difference between Virtual and Real world

[size=15pt]Ok here,

this is more of a story than an “I NEED HELP” post

But if u’ve got no time for my long and boring bla bla bla, here’s a summarized version

"Two out of my 3 very close pals got married 6 month ago (2 weeks interval for the weddings), I warned them NOT to get married though with so many good reasons, but they took my advice with one ear and it fell out the other ear after they both went back home to suck the br3asts of their so called fiancés.
*fast 4ward 5 months later* the both of them are now advising me not to go ahead with my own marriage plans if I have any and that they should have listened to me earlier."

Now for those of u who like to watch nollywood and bollywood(Indian) movies, here’s the long version, take note that the actors here are not the common ones u see on African Magic.

*rewind, 6 months ago*,
4 single guys, all very close friends, 3 of them working in the same firm and all 4 of them are single, they all hang out after work all the time, gist, and get tipsy and drunk sometimes, non is promiscuous in nature except for 1, though they all individually have girlfriends who they have been dating for quite a while except for 1.
B4 I continue, WARNING: THIS STORY IS NOT INTERESTING; I’LL ADVICE U READ THE SUMMARY ABOVE AND SAVE URSELF THE TROUBLE OF GETTING BORED.

U still wan read am, Nigerians sef, una like long tori oh,  any ways sha, *pls take note that I wld sometimes decide to use pidgin English to spice up the write up*, back to tori:

These four young and gentle men (I’m the youngest among all, 26, the eldest being 28) all share like terms, they all were enslaved (NYSC) the same year “2008”, three graduated from same university, two, same department, and all are living a slightly above middle class status in relation to leaving condition in the FCT, Abuja. (Translation for non FCT residents: they are big boys, shikena!)

I’m not going to expose the personal identities of anyone in this story, but I’ll try my best to give u an idea of their kind of persons (personalities).

Joseph(me) NOT REAL NAME: He is the one who has no work to do right now and instead of reading a book or doing something beneficial with his time, he is busy typing this whole load of crap even while he is in the office. He has been dating Esther {NOT NIGERIAN AND NOT REAL NAME} for 9 years now.

Charles NOT REAL NAME: 28, aje bota, huge but not muscular, baby faced,  met him in first year of uni, same dept, been close friends since then, he started dating Janet NOT REAL NAME 2 years after we met. He is currently married to her (6 mnths old marriage). Did not use to do alcohol until we met, I’m not one that can be described as a bad person or influence but Janet hates me although she tries so hard to hide it, she hates me because Charles always listens to my advice and suggestions like “hey, bro watz up, it’s TGIF, lets go clubbing & offcourse, it’s going to be men only, no girlfriends! He wld be indecisive but at the end he wld go with the idea since everyone else (my other 2 pals) was up 4 it”. My Job description requires that I travel out of town from time to time, sometimes I spend upto a week at site, then Janet would call me in the pretense to say hi, but she really want to know how long I’ll be out so she can be sure for how long she can have her BF(Charles) to herself (ladies and una tiny brains sef!)

Philip NOT REAL NAME: 28, slightly older than Charles, met him also in second year of uni, usually a quiet guy but can blow 2 much tori when hin don high! Has had series of gf’s since I met him, 3 I think, but was hooked on Agatha NOT REAL NAME since during service year, they are married also (6 months old marriage, two weeks after Charles and Janet’s) Contrary to Janet, Agatha likes me because I always tell her the truth about what the guys have been upto together without the girls, he and Agatha actually met through me, she was in my cds and I was eyeing her (even when I had a loving gf somewhere, na wa 4 we men sha), I eye her so tey we became friends but it did not go beyond that, I had to let Philip step in, to overcome tempteyshun.

Richard NOT REAL NAME: 28 also, same month as Philip, Now this is the Original Bad boy (although he thinks I shld be the one with that label amongst us, I however beg to differ), graduated from a South south university, not sure how many gf’s he has had as he is not usually a straight forward person, he lies to ladies a lot he has trouble telling the truth even to his guy pals, can’t really say much about him but just that he is one h3ll of a lady hater, he says stuffs like, “every lady born after 1980 in Nigeria is a ho”, “I no go marry any girl wey dem born for Nigeria”, “I f0ck that chik so tey her kitten comot trowey for bed”. He is soooo sooo vulgar and he never shuts up, funny thing is that all the stories he tells us is always about how he did this chick, how he nack that babe bla bla bla, but we, his close pals no dey see the babes wey hin dey refer to oh!! We go just laff, leave mata to die. He is currently dating Barbara NOT REAL NAME and we hope she can change him, we do see some signs sha.

I, Charles and Philip Richard all work at the same firm but Charles and I are in the same dept.

I don’t believe in luv @ first site, h3ll I don’t even think I believe in the whole concept of luv itself, but 9 years in a relationship and no major break-ups, no reason to doubt loyalty to each other, I mean it’s got me thinking, sometimes, she says things like “honey, if we don’t end up spending the rest of our lives together, then it means one of us died along the way”, I wld just laff, but deep within me, I know I can never have the kind of feelings I have for her for any other lady, she grew up in her home country (Ghana) until after her secondary school then came to Nigeria for uni where we met (she has a dual citizenship, cos her mom is Nigerian and she was born here too). *she is not very black oh, as many of una go dey think, she’s fair in complexshun* No offense meant, but she is not like the BB Demanding, Brazilian weave wearing type like most Nigerian girls out there, she’s is very content with whatever she gets and she refuses to allow me spend flamboyantly around her or on her.
My friends envy me because of her and they say things like “guy, if u no marry this girl after all the luv she don pour for your body, we go gather u beat u die”

Now these same friends are advising me not to even get married at all.

OK, Janet is a bit naggy in nature, but Agatha is a very good wife material or so I thought up until about six months ago, now my two supposedly married friends are never smiling when the reality which is going back to their wives at home creeps up, they are scared to go back home to their so called lovely wives, they dont discuss their marital problems in detail and I don’t pry but they warn me everyday in and out to stay single for as long as I can. Although I have plans on getting married b4 I get to 28 but it looks closer than I anticipated and now I’m beginning to get scared.

FOOT NOTE: if u have anything/advise to say, feel free, and thank you in advance

also if u have anything insultive to say, then let me tell u dis b4 hand “WORDS ARE NOT ENUF TO DESCRIBE HOW LITTLE I GIVE A F0CK”[/size][/font]

akiolu:
I need both word and the true feeling of sorry. That's why her refusal to acknowledge that I can be wronged is annoying.

Ego rubbing is not entirely bad I think.

Should your marriage be a competition then?
Think about it bro, what's more important to you, peace @ home or non heartfelt sorry?

Mallow:
why do you say so?

u on a whining bender or what?

Mallow:
What is the difference between meeting someone offline and online ,and getting to know them?

r u still in kindergarten?

Mrs.Chima:


Jaybee, there are people who meet online and get married the next day or few weeks later.    Seriously.  I was like WTF.

Are we talking about Vegas weddings?

What's the word Sorry going to validate? Rub your ego perhaps?
What if she says sorry but doesn't necessarily act sorry?

I only worry about ma destination.
Not one to look back besides, WWW is just one of the numerous medium peeps get to meet each other daily.
It's not like u meet online and GBAM u r married without having had a proper offline relationship with the other half.

^^^^
What's the point of setting standards when we as a people will clearly flaunt/disregard 'em well meaning rules.

Preparing for a meeting I'm to attend in a bit

Me too

It's only a bloody kiss ma friend
Relax homeboi

Chilling as usual
u?

Tell him you are not happy with the arrangement. It's either he stays committed to you or he can kiss you goodbye.
Love yourself and believe u deserve more instead of staying and further degrading yaself

He wants to start exploring other avenue and here you are thinking about what to do.
He obviously doesn't value you as much as he used to so do the right thing.
Hurt now and save yourself a major heartache going forward

@ becomerich
What brand of beer do u take?

ekt_bear:
^-- Supposedly Lagos State's energy consumption today is 10k+ MW. They get about 1K MW from the FG, and the rest is generated privately.

So the amount the government supplies less than 1/10th of the demand.

Building 20K today for the SE is probably not a bad idea. Whatever you don't use you can sell off, so not a big deal. And the demand might grow faster than you think.

With this sort of thing, I think it is better to overbuild than underbuild. You can always find a buyer of electricity in Africa; after all this continent in general doesn't have enough power. If somehow Nigeria overbuilds, then it can sell excess to Togo, Benin Republic, Cameroon, etc

How do you suggest the excess power is sold/transmitted across states considering the fact that the major huddle after power generation is transmission.

worry246:
So sorry but from the point of view of countries outside Nigeria.
It is not the FEW but the MANY, MANY, MANY.
Sorry but that is the truth & the truth often hurts.

The truth because you have in your possession stats that back your ridiculous claim?
