Walk date is something that is not considered in this part of the continent, especially here in Nigeria, our ladies don't consider anything a date if there's no food But I think its not all about going on lunch or dinner dates, you and your date could head out somewhere scenic and go for a walk while you get to know each other.


So guys what do you think about walk dates?

Cool. I hope the OP who posted an article on white weddings, being a borrowed nonsense from the whites, will not tag this a white man's stupidity as well.

Toks2008:
To think that some Pastors preach that until you do a white wedding also known as "Church wedding".. You are not considered married...

I call this foolishness that has no basis in our tradition as Africans or even in the Scriptures.

I will advise any man to focus on the traditional wedding and go ahead to register the wedding if they want but if the lady insists on having a white wedding, let her take care of the entire financial demands except you have enough money to throw away.

May we be emancipated from mental slavery

So what do you call a court wedding?
Can you break kolanuts and read the Bible in a single marriage setup?
Can you Pour out spirit from a bottle of Shnapps to fulfill ancestral rites and call on the Holy Spirit to seal up the marriage as well in a single setup?

Marriage will forever be affected by Divinity or religion. It's not about the white man's tradition here. It's about your religion.
So you can do more than one if your religious beliefs projects a different picture on marriage rites from your traditional setup,I.e meeting all demands required.

There's nothing cool in trashing any of these as rubbish.

He tried to redeem Nigerians image in China yet the Chinese Authorities threw out Nigerians into the streets, accusing them of bringing COVID-19 to their soil, during the heat of the pandemic?
You guys are joking.

engrchykae:
USA is relaxed.
When Rome became relaxed,troubled barbarians brought it down

I dont think so boss.
A relaxed country invests less in research.
We know this aint the case with the US.
Its just that democratic processes and protocols creates the ''friendly, toothless'' image of America, that looks like weakness to many

MangekyoAlt:
I don't even know why the USA are worrying about anything here.

Hypersonic nuclear missiles are toys compared to the high caliber secret weapons in their arsenal. As Superpower, They have the capability to raid and decimate China, Russia and every other countries all in the space of 24 hours.
That's according to some inhabitants of Katsina state ofcourse

Really there's no cause for alarm

Believe them at your peril. Americans praise their military. Their military in turn verbally magnify their adversary's capabilities openly. Psychological weapons you may say. Moreover this is to raise the need for more military fundings. Its between the lines.

If you are a youth and Tinubu looks good to you for a presidential figure, then you are ;

1.A huge drawback to Nigeria's advancement and future accomplishments.

2. A shame to the modern world of STEM and refined global traditions that encourage speedy development by breaking the barriers of ethnicity, through connecting diversities, so long as creativity is involved.

3. A tribal bigot like the current failure in Aso Rock, who believes a virtual currency can revive a dying fiat currency, in spite of poor economic structure and policies.

4. A continuation of generational errors and failures, carried over into the future extensively.

5. A huge minus to any current youthful, meaningful movement for better governance

6. A hole in the walls of solidarity of serious minded youths who vowed, out of pain and tears to end forcemen brutality.

7. A catastrophe to your unborn kids.

We warned you before about the Dictator.
Now you are about to repeat same.

5million annually. Thanks the North. That means Lagos state likely gets 30 percent of that share annually.

I see many people throwing jabs at FFK for being vocal with the truth here. I don't know why its so difficult to process a message in the context it's given, irrespective of who gave it?
Even a dead clock is twice correct in 24 hours.

akdjr:
If the Igbo truly believe in Kanu and take him seriously as their true leader, they should shot down all their business across the country in solidarity for Kanu release. If the entire Igbo race can shot down their business across the country for a month, I bet you the Government will be left with no option than to call for dialogue.

No Igbo man is ready to lose a warehouse for MNK. FG knows this. He's using their weak links.

Simply because they all saw the UN move. You never spoke with one voice on this matter when uncertainties were looming. Anyway its better late than never.

Godada:



Two matured people have answered your question.

There is another option.

You can have someone on the side who help you relax.

This is at your own discretion.

The wife needs to heal and the man has needs.

Forget those telling you that all you think Is sex.....sad part is what most men think about all the time.

Give your wife a break and break into another shagging

Side chic? Nah. That's unacceptable. One big difference between men and boys is the word "discipline". Marriage is not for boys.

Madness dey some girls body because then think say man keep them for house mean say dey go dey forget their manners anyhow.

A lady really annoyed me this morning.
I had gone to the park to board a taxi back home. The guy who was loading for the driver directed me to the taxi that was loading. An elderly guy sat at the front seat while a lady was seated by the door and she was the only one sitting at the back. Note that the drivers take three passengers at the back.
Immediately I saw how the lady sat at the door- her body language- I decided to enter from the other side but another passenger beat me to it plus I was approaching the taxi from her side to I just decided to enter through there.
The lady rather than shift to the middle came out for me to enter without any form of excuse which I found annoying.
I made my displeasure know to her but she just kept mute as if no be human being dey follow talk. I still repeated myself.this lady just start blowing out like burning charcoal, shouting at the top of her voice that "do I think she is a baby for me to treat her like that".

To make matters worse,the passengers and driver were telling me to not retaliate because na women. Na so we go continue to dey tolerate nonsense. Even na guy, I go still tell am wetin he do no correct.

I've been in your shoes but things turned out differently.
Sometime ago I boarded a Danfo. The front space had two seats but one available. I opened the door to get in but the lady already seated in front, stepped out for me to go in. I politely told her its a courteous social tradition for a guy to occupy the space closest to the door. She declined and I stepped in. On our way, at top speed, the driver swerved along a bend, which sent everyone swinging over to an angle. She hit the door and the clip holding the door in place went off. (You know these crazy danfos with pop locks ). The door swung open immediately and she lost balance. I pulled her back in forcefully, given her weight and size and she fell back in. The driver had to slow down, parked and readjusted his crap. All the women in the bus later pleaded with me to swap positions with her but my big proud head wont take that nonsense. An elderly man from behind had to swap seats with her.

Its ugly to argue with a woman on trivial things like spaces in public places. Taking what is available or given to you at the time won't reduce your masculinity in anyway. Letting go is civil.

DXNNigeria:
Really, am really furious right now and I see it as her intruding into my personal space. My babe just took my phone and uploaded her pictures with different captions like my love, my babe, my heart etc.
I saw them on my status and deleted them and she is angry.
Really, I see it as her intruding into my personal life. Really am very furious at her and she doesn't see anything bad in what she did instead she is giving me attitude.
Really? Am I wrong?

No. You're not. You owe her no explanation. Tell her there's a huge distance between girlfriend and wife. She should be patient enough to cover it.
Say this also to yourself and to your sexual demands towards her.

Issorait. US, una do well. Oya give China space to comman copy.

For some who think the West is dwelling in past glory, think am again

realvikash:
Rest abeg, you don’t know the dude in person, and yes for him to be where he is rn, he sure is relevant, maybe not to you but to those around him.

smh

Drella:
You definitely went to the wedding uninvited.

Sure, I did.
But I felt just a snub by her would've been enough , having regard for the order of the day.

This is sick na. Everyone trying so hard to create something ill about Maria's image.

Take an open bluff than die in privacy. Call it off!

I made a mistake showing up during a photograph session on an ex's wedding day. I showed up with a friend she is quite fond of. She screamed on the protocols to take me out or else she leaves. The hubby couldn't tame her and got so embarrassed. I had to take a walk.
Women seem to get stupid when they get attached to something about a guy. The guy may be a cheat, cheapskate, lowlifer...
That's why it's ideal to date a girl who is clearly not in pains from a previous relationship. If you love her, give her time to recover and try to reconnect her with her ex. Don't give her the impression you want anything serious. Introduce her to a female friend who's very close. Surprise her with an outing, with her ex present and see her reactions.
I enjoy playing mind games though, but settling for a girl who is still bitter about her ex? No way!

presidency:
The adoption of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and its underlying technology, called block chain, can increase Nigeria’s GDP by $29billion over the next 10 years, President Muhammadu Buhari said Monday in Abuja at the official launch of the eNaira.

The President also declared that the introduction of the eNaira would enable the government to send direct payments to citizens eligible for specific welfare programmes as well as foster cross border trade.

President Buhari said that alongside digital innovations, CBDCs can foster economic growth through better economic activities, increase remittances, improve financial inclusion and make monetary policy more effective.

''Let me note that aside from the global trend to create Digital Currencies, we believe that there are Nigeria-specific benefits that cut across different sectors of, and concerns of the economy.

''The use of CBDCs can help move many more people and businesses from the informal into the formal sector, thereby increasing the tax base of the country,'' he said.

The President said with the launch of eNaira, Nigeria has become the first country in Africa, and one of the first in the world to introduce a Digital Currency to her citizens.

He commended the Governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, his deputies and the entire team of staff who worked tirelessly to make the launch of Africa's first digital currency a reality.

The President, who assured Nigerians of the safety and scalability of the CBDC system, said the journey to create a digital currency for Nigeria began sometime in 2017.

''Work intensified over the past several months with several brainstorming exercises, deployment of technical partners and advisers, collaboration with the Ministries of Communication and Digital Economy and its sister agencies like the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), integration of banking software across the country and painstaking tests to ensure the robustness, safety and scalability of the CBDC System, '' he said.

The President also used the occasion of the unveiling of the eNaira to painstakingly explain to Nigerians why he approved the use of the digital currency.

''In recent times, the use of physical cash in conducting business and making payments has been on the decline. This trend has been exacerbated by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resurgence of a new Digital Economy.

''Alongside these developments, businesses, households, and other economic agents have sought for new means of making payments in the new circumstances.

''The absence of a swift and effective solution to these requirements, as well as fears that Central Banks’ actions sometimes lead to hyperinflation created the space for non-government entities to establish new forms of “private currencies” that seemed to have gained popularity and acceptance across the world, including here in Nigeria.

''In response to these developments, an overwhelming majority of Central Banks across the world have started to consider issuing digital currencies in order to cater for businesses and households seeking faster, safer, easier and cheaper means of payments.

''A handful of countries including China, Bahamas, and Cambodia have already issued their own CBDCs.

''A 2021 survey of Central Banks around the world by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) found that almost 90 per cent are actively researching the potential for CBDCs, 60 percent were experimenting with the technology and 14 per cent were deploying pilot projects.

''Needless to add, close monitoring and close supervision will be necessary in the early stages of implementation to study the effect of eNaira on the economy as a whole.

''It is on the basis of this that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) sought and received my approval to explore issuing Nigeria’s own Central Bank Digital Currency, named the eNaira,’’ he said.

Equally, the Nigerian leader noted that his approval was also underpinned by the fact that the CBN has been a leading innovator ‘‘in the form of money they produce, and in the payment services they deploy for efficient transactions.’’

He noted that Nigeria’s apex bank has invested heavily in creating a Payment System that is ranked in the top ten in the world and certainly the best in Africa.

''This payment system now provides high‐value and time‐critical payment services to financial institutions, and ultimately serves as the backbone for every electronic payment in Nigeria.

''They have also supported several private‐sector initiatives to improve the existing payments landscape, and in turn, have created some of the world’s leading payment service providers today,’’ he said.

In his remarks, the CBN Governor explained that eNaira is Nigeria’s CBDC and it is the digital equivalent of the physical Naira.

''As the tagline simply encapsulates, the eNaira is the same Naira with far more possibilities. The eNaira – like the physical Naira – is a legal tender in Nigeria and a liability of the CBN. The eNaira and Naira will have the same value and will always be exchanged at 1 naira to 1 eNaira,'' he said.

Emefiele added that the CBN has given careful consideration to the entire payments and financial architecture and has designed the eNaira to complement and strengthen these ecosystems and has implemented secure safeguards and policies to maintain the integrity of the financial system.

He pledged that there would be strict adherence to the anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) standards in order to preserve the integrity and stability of Nigeria’s payment system.

According to Emefiele, since the eNaira platform went live, there has been overwhelming interest and encouraging response from Nigerians and other parties across the world with over 2.5 million daily visits to the website.

He listed the following milestones:

''33 banks are fully integrated and live on the platform, 500 million has been successfully minted by the Bank, N200 million has been issued to financial institutions, over 2,000 customers have been onboarded and over 120 merchants have successfully registered on the eNaira platform''.

The CBN governor also used the occasion to commend President Buhari for making history, yet again, with the launch of the eNaira – the first in Africa and one of the earliest around the world.

He also dispelled fears on the nation's foreign reserves, saying the reserves are strong and getting stronger by the day.

''Mr. President, as you make ground breaking reforms, there have been continuing debate on the true value of the Naira. Rather than worry today on the direction of the exchange rate, let us take a step back and analyze how we got here in the first place.

''Please recall that since the advent of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) led Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) in 1986, and the introduction of the Second Tier Foreign Exchange (SFEM) market, the Naira has been on a one-way free fall from parity to the US Dollar in 1984 to over N410/USD today.

''Some 35 years later, we have not been able to achieve the many promises and objectives of that programme.

''Instead, what we have seen is widespread import dependency, which has wiped out most of our production and manufacturing bases and exported all our jobs in the process.

''What has happened to the massive textile factories across our nation such that we import almost all cotton products when we are rich in cotton?

''What has happened to our vehicle assembly plants across the nation such that we import most vehicles and have become a massive dumping ground for dying second-hand vehicles?

''What has happened to our rubber plantations through which we made the best tyres and rubber products in the world? What has happened to our groundnut pyramids? What has happened to our Cocoa farms? What has happened to our palm oil mills?

''Under your leadership, Mr. President, we must stop this decline for good! We must return to massive homemade production; we must get our people working again. We must create the economic environment for massive domestic production and significant non-oil exports.

''As custodians of your national reserves, let me first assure you that there is no cause for alarm. Our FX reserves are strong and indeed getting stronger by the day, crossing the 40 billion USD mark, and is one of the highest in Africa - and growing.

''But we cannot fritter our reserves away on cheap imports and currency speculators. We must return to an employment-led growth anchored on productivity and rewarding producers of local goods, services, innovation and new technologies.

''If you consume cheap imports and export our jobs, we will make you pay dearly; but if you produce locally - with little or no foreign inputs beyond machinery, we will support you, and the markets will reward you abundantly,'' he said.

In addition to all policies and actions of the CBN to support the economy especially through the trying times of COVID-19, Emefiele announced a new financial instrument titled “The 100 for 100 PPP - Policy on Production and Productivity”, which will be anchored in the Development Finance Department under his direct supervision.

He explained that under this policy the CBN would advertise, screen, scrutinize and financially support 100 targeted private sector companies in 100 days, beginning from 01 November 2021, and rolling over every 100 days with new set of 100 companies, whose names will be published in National Dailies for Nigerians to verify and confirm.

Beautiful nonsense

This man's freedom, after seeing his disposition is a proof that Nigeria is ruled by a Terrorist.

Education is a broad term. Financial Education is what you need urgently. Learn how to invest and set up a business to get running. Grow your income bracket. That income source is not permanent. Nothing in life is. Make the best of it while it lasts. 200 and something thousand naira a month is cool, but if you should begin a degree program now, you may not be able to give in your best to still maintain that flow. School will demand so much on that single source of income. At the end of the day, School will be all you have and a job will be all you crave. Don't tow that path.
Multiply your income source and later fund your school with the proceedings. Get a business running first. You don't wanna be job hunting as a graduate here in Naija for a 60k per month job after this rare opportunity, trust me.

realvikash:
Rest, he's relevant already, at least within his own circle, try to do the same or get half of the bread he has, not coming on here to ramble about him being lousy

Must relevance mean popularity?
Aren't you relevant to your family?
Do you even know the guy's financial capacity?
How has Chief Priest's relevance affected your life?

See how people prefer fame as a standard for sound judgement.

Man, you don't have any business with Mariah. Direct your energy to your inlaw. I believe your sister didn't get married to a grown up kid.
But why didn't you come up with this long before BBNaija pushed her to limelight? Why now?

This list isn't complete without the Talibans.

Peace081:
Weather 47 or 60 just celebrate her n move, after all your mama no even reach 35 years before she japa

How does this make sense to a healthy brain?
Is his mother on nairaland? or is the topic related to her?

Yul making sense by the way.,
But I hate to hear this ''who holy pass'' mediocre phrase. A license for looseness with wreckless abandon

BadRadio:
I hear people say things like " If not for the kids, I will abandon this marriage"... what does this mean? Will a person have to endure and tolerate an abusive spouse because of the kids?


What are your thoughts on this?

Most people will come here to shout ''walk out of an abusive marriage''. No one ever stresses walking out of a courtship with red flags. Yes people can hide their colors for long.
These days, they don't mind dating now to die later. So long as paparazzi and money are involved.

Abusive marriages have root problems usually tied to individual defects which have been likely ignored as singles over the years.

I'm not in support of an abusive marriage in any way.., but If you get divorced, stay divorced and out of sexual indulgences, until your ex is deceased.

Anything else is immoral and an abuse of a Divine Institution, as well as a cheap excuse for liberal promiscuity.

You can call me names.

ariesbull:
in terms of telecommunications 5G and semi conductors they are leading

You don commot for street now go enter highway.
That's not true as regards microchips. Taiwan leads because the US invested heavily in sharing that technology with her. Talk of the company TSMC or what is it called....that probably could be one of the reasons the CCP wants to seize her by force.

Look if the West doesn't create, China can't produce. Look at the trends. Robbers don't go to the market. They go to the banks to break in, cos thats where the money is. Ever asked the question why so many Chinese are flying to the US to study key courses? Or why the Russians and Chinese cyber lords are always tryna break in to Western frameworks to get refined information? Or why the Chinese couldn't come up with COVID-19 vaccine until the West did? Or how Russia and China initially said stealth aircrafts were just craps and later found themselves producing same,with identical design to the West's?

Bro let's just rest for now.

This is not true. It's what the Government of the day wants everyone to believe. An endeavor to further validate the move of proscribing IPOB as a terrorist group.
