₦airaland Forum

A friend of mine just asked me to post this. I refused at first but she kept begging me too.

Said her boyfriend took her for lunch today and told her "I have finally decided to marry you". She said she was so pissed, and told him to take his proposal and shove it, now she is wondering if she was too harsh, she has been with the guy through thick and thin for four years and she feels (rightly I think oh) that the guy should have come up with a more romantic and respectful proposal. What do you think?

Would it have made any difference if he had said: "I have finally decided to marry you, would you please marry me?"

Or: "I have finally decided to marry you, would you be my wife?"

But from the tone, i think the lady has been pestering the guy for a proposal for a long time. So ladies, don't prompt a guy to propose to you. so that it wont sound like "now i am ready to marry you, so you can now let me rest."

I know that the year is almost a quarter gone. But i still think it is better late than never. The year 2007 has gone and many Nairalanders have distinguished themselves in some areas. it is time to give them Awards.

The day I received a tex message from my fiance which says thus 'at "I hope we need to stop at this junction because we are incompatible thanks for love" and I almost mad that day

and another day is tha day my another finance tell me that she lose her period but I am not responsible for the pregnant that she just have to say through and the head rang gbaun gbaun gbaun

Another bitter truth. Please dont compromise on incompatibility. And for the other one, thank your starts that you never had to father a child for another man. And you never had to go through DNA test to discover that or experience a need to donate blood to your child, only to discover that your blood does not match his/hers

The day I said the truth in a Board Meeting and my Director (a Briton) was red all over

Hmm, i hope you are not toying with your job o. Some truths are better left unsaid o. He who pays the piper dictates the tune, remember? Are you still on the job?

janami:

The day i met janami. It was a wonderful day.

Sister
Vals day, my sis. and her date went out. Ordered all the things on the menu (chinese restaurant in naija). Time to pay, the guy man realizes that the money he had was not as he calculated. Well she said i'm coming and worked back home (our house was ten minutes away). He later came back and told us he had to wash plates first and they took his wristwatch until he pays 80% of what he owed. I mean the rich boy was just embarrased.

Well one of the stories i had to put jara so enjoy.

Hmm, i wonder why some ladies don't consider their man's purse before ordering. Hmm, awuf dey run belle o. Poor boy, oh, i mean man.

janami:
hmmm, the day i will never forget was when i had to face the student disciplinary committee in school because i locked myself in my room and stabbed chapel service in school . was suspended for a week (Imagine!) and almost missed my 300 level exams. na God save me o. they postponed it.

I guess you will still forget this. i only wish you had missed that 300 level exam, that way, it would have been an unforgettable event.

"see your mouth - u got stranded in a room and next thing u begin open yah leg abi? u open am wide, even raise am up, they ride bicycle for air when the guys pumps your obo like air pump, abi? Look - u never hear about CONDOM before? now u come get belle - the guy come dey deny? look - if na u wetin u go do? My advice, lure this guy back to your bed "

I love this response. How on earth is a man expected to believe that the child is his. Honestly, it's annoying. Anyway, i believe she has learnt her lesson and in a hard way too.

The day I missed one of my flights to Nigeria for ma brother's wedding. Stood at the ticket counter and watched the KLM flight slowly depart from the runway. Had to cough out another fare on the spot to buy a new ticket for the next day.

That was very painful. I had most of the wedding stuff. Thank God I had a day to kill. I arrived just in time 3 hrs before the wedding with all the tuxedos, wedding gown, rings and all.

I was thankful I could make it. That would have been a major disaster.

Hmm, you almost spoilt the show o. Anyway, thank God for the other flight.

Hmmmmmmmm, too bad. I reserve my comment.

Some events occur in our lives and leave an indelible mark on our minds. Wether pleasant or unpleasant, we just can't forget them. They may happen just in minutes, in a whole day or even weeks or months but we cant just forget them.

Let us share them here. May be to teach other people some lessons or to lift off the burden of such events from our minds or simply just to get into that nostalgic mood once again.

What is that day that you will never forget? What happened then?

odada:
I have actually met a few,dated a few and fell in love with a few

Aha, is nairaland built for you? I envy you o. But just take it easy!

Dr Ferlie:
I have met almondjoy

sorry, she just denied you. Never met anyone: she says

If the story is really sweet, i will double the money into your account. But you will try and tell me too some sweet things to bring the money out of my pocket o.

God created man and gave him free will. He does not force people. So he cant force people to leave sin. But be sure that when the new heart and the new heaven evolves, people that will be there would have been completely purged of sin on their own will. So it will be simple to live in a sinless world.

Come to think of it, since you learnt how to walk, you have never for one day gone out crawling on all fours, have you? But we all know that that is where you learnt to walk. Walking has become a part of you now, that you will not think of crawling again. That is the way it will be in the new heaven and earth Holiness would have become a part of us that no one will think of sinning.

When you met them, did they sound like their posts or look it? Or was it a kind of surprise to see the person behind that loud name? i met some and i wondered in some cases. Imagine a fragile person causing so much waves on threads and speaking like a giant. and atimes some really quiet people are just strong in their pen. i have indeed met some pleasant ones.

Though this is a faceless forum yet people do meet.

Have you met any Nairalander?

How was the meeting? Pleasant or otherwise?

Do people look like their posts?

Would you like to meet more nairalanders?

Hmm, ella b, did i see ur name on "The sweetest thing ever" I think i need to hear ur own too. Tell us what sweetest thing them don tell u o

@blacklion,

I'm not saying that the zombies at the US embassy can't go against what they published on their website and so make DNA testing mandatory instead of voluntary. What troubles me is why they would be denied visa if the DNA of a child does not match that of the father but matches that of the mother. There are many possibilities here:

1. The woman cheated on the husband and got pregnant with the said child
2. The man is not really her husband but a boyfriend she wants to elope to America with
3. The woman divorced the biological father of the child and remarried to the said man
4. The child was adopted (it would be an unusual coincidence for the child's DNA to "match" that of the woman, except the biological mother of the child is an identical twin of the woman)

Why would they be denied visa on any of these grounds?

This is simple. They would be denied VISA on false declaration. If you make a mistake with your names, date of birth or any information for that matter, embassies see it as fraud. Ask those who have been going on many rounds. You can be refused on false claims. Even if it is your salary/income.

However if the form had indicated that the children were adopted, there wouldn't have been any problem. The adoption form would have shown that. Another point is that if they claim that the husband is not the father of the child, they will want a letter of consent from the real father, that his child should be taken abroad. You see, there are laid down procedures for these things.

I am not scared and i think no one should.

How you look when you grow old are determined by many factors. One is how are you using yourself now? If you are unfairly used now, by the time you grow up you will become a liability to your people.

Sickness could also age people and weaken them in old age. So take good care of your health.

I pray we all live long to see our children's children, that is to say become grandpa and ma or even great grand pa and ma. And to declare the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

She was just about living after the usual weekend visits and just at the door just before she opens to go out,

Jin said: Hold it Jan, Can you just give me just one reason why you shouldn't be my wife?

Jan said: (In her usual playful manner) None whatsoever sir!

Jin said: (Still looking serious) Okay then. Please tell mum and dad that my parents will be coming over to know them in a fortnight

Jan said: (Transfixed, recovers, moves slowly to the couch, sits gently and holds the pillow to her chest, looks up at Jin) Jin, are you proposing to me?

Jin said: (Goes to her, kneels before her, looks straight into her eyes, then talks) Please Be My Wife.

Jan said: (Drops the pillow slowly, launches forward and holds Jan tightly to her bosom and whispers) Am all yours. You can have me for keeps, forever.

We were both lost in each others embrace as our hearts raced at the new found home. And for the first time, ,

Seun:
What if the kids were adopted? Surely Americans are familiar with the practice of child adoption?

Thier form would have shown that the children were adopted. I guess that at the point of adoption, some forms would be filled to take over the children from their homes. Such forms ought to be attached or presented at the point of querying the parenthood of the children. Adoption, yes. But there must also b a proof of adoption.

I heard this story about two virgins that got married and found it difficult to do it. The girl was looking sick and tired the following day. She managed to open up to an elderly woman in her neighbourhood. She was the one that taught her how they would go about it. I think the succeeded on the second attempt.

So i wonder, if the skill is really in born.

Judas, Cain

and am even surprised that some peolpe name their children, "Job". Is it because of the happy ending? I was even shocked to see one guy named "Lucifer" Kai, I cant name my children any of these.

Hmmm, i never knew people could be this emotional. I have seen some passionate expressions here. So such words are not really for movies? Hmmm.

Just listen to this:

tRoOE:


Babeelove abeg who told you that _{just kidding}@topic



(He said) There is no one like you neither can any one replace the love i have for you, so baby will you be my wife and the mother of my children blahhhh and his last words were "Don’t take what I cherish the most away from me not even for a min"

(I replied) Cried and Cried but it was the tears of joy , then finally said Yes baby i will love to marry you

I love this thread, hopefully people will not trash it

So emotional!

and this:

tRoOE:
Yes oh, what a refreshing and peaceful thread


I love wedding, it's always every girls dream and also a parent wish to given their daughter away to a good and responsible man .

(Moi) E our babies must not have your umbrella nose oh

(E Replied) Are you making fun of my father, well too bad because we have strong genes in my family

Shows strong bond between lovers. Can you see the great humour and connectivity between them?

And you know what? Everyone has been saying sweet things. No abuse, no anger. Hmm, it's sweet to be sweet o. Please carry on.

almondjoy:
To "it"-------- Did you ever know that you are my hero?

i tell you, no matter how you say this, he wont miss the import of it.

People are romantic on this forum.

kingsikaz:

Is it really a sin to make love?

Monkey no fine but im mama like am. No matter what, the child is a cut from the parents. So two wowo people should not go and marry o.

Besides, if there is money, no one wowo. You just imagine how MKO and Taribo plus Baba sege looked when they were babies. And see how far money has tushed them up.

What is the sweetest thing you ever said to anyone?

What was the response you got after saying it?

What was the sweetest thing anyone ever told you and how did you react to it?

You will be surprised at how romantic, kind natured, etc. or otherwise people have been. Watch out for the responses to the thread!

Teach your children the way that they should go; when they grow up, they will not depart from it.

How old is your daughter?

When did you start showing her the way she should go?

As a parent, you need to give direction to your children. But you don't have to force them. But the best direction you can give is to lead by example. I believe that if she sees something fantastic about your God, she will want to know Him more.

I wish you God's guidance as you strive to do His will.

Well, I don't know o. But all the same i have a question that i can not open another thread for.

Do male secretaries also sleep with their female bosses?

Hmmmmmmmmmm, too much familiarity breeds romance!
