Sisi_Kill: What Sarcasm? Jeeedus, everyone and their dog thinking they can spot sarcasm, even when there is none.

Point is - You are protesting waaaaaay toooooo freaaaaking much for a topic that's supposed to be lighted. No one knows you from Adam, so there's no need to list all what you have just to show you are not poor, only people who think the topic hits close to home carry on the way you do.

Not. . .not that there is anything wrong with being poor. I think it is a character builder. I won't be what I am today without it.

Go in peace son and stop letting little things get under your skin. https://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/25.gif

Madam, if my post unsettled you, ignoring it would have done the trick. The level of my "protests" and the subject matters I chose to "protest" on this forum are none of your business so stick your nose elsewhere please.


Peace be unto you as well!

Sisi_Kill: Hmmm....me thinks this Broda doth protest too much.

The sarcasm in your post could be perceived from a million miles away, but your sense of humor isn't so alluring, unfortunately.

mukina2: money can't buy you happiness

1). don't talk to people anyhow...you don't know how they will help you in future"

2). we will all die someday and won't take our money with us!

pure water is N10 Bottle water is N50, no be water dey inside?

3). Nah, I'll just have some water

4). Is That With Or Without Tax

5). am not the BlackBerry type or iPhone either... I jus prefer Nokia 1100

its almost her birthday, time to start an argument

1). I can't believe you just associated that statement exclusively with broke people. This is supposed to be a joke right? I know people who are not broke (myself included) and I say that all the time. It is called having upright morals and not being "broke"!

2). Well isn't that true? Even the rich wouldn't go to heaven/hell with their money.. so.. what's the point of including this on the list?

3). On the rare occasions when I eat out, I chose to have water (plus lime, if the restaurant offers) instead of sweet drinks not because I am broke, but because I am health conscious. We also have a family history of diabetes and I wouldn't want to heighten my susceptibility to the ailment by ordering sweet drinks to portray myself as a financially buoyant person. Water is the healthiest drink on earth, if one has a special preference for it, it doesn't by any chance mean the person is a pauper.

4). Calculation errors abound in many stores. What's wrong with clarifying if the [final] bill given is with/without tax? I do that all the time when ridiculous prices are given for items I know should cost less. And my suspicions save me money more times than not!

5). With all these things I said, I use an Iphone 4 and could afford to upgrade to the latest model whenever I choose...


This post should be taken off the home page, please. It screams ignorance.

Doctorazz: Henrico dats grea,dats the kind of love I'm looking 4,by Gods grace it'll come 2 pass.good 2 no men like u Exist outt there.just never been opportuned to meet any.

Hey Doctorazz! I hope you did not go on with calling off the engagement? Take it slow, don't make decisions in a haste.

You have been dating your man for five years but you have only recently come to realize the kind of person he is and what his preferences are. Have you tried modifying your cooking methods to suit his desires? If that's what would hold your relationship together, you should certainly try that. If he says he wants A, don't try to force B on him.
You have to meet him halfway dear. Open your mind to learn from him. I know! It could be pretty embarrassing learning to cook from your boyfriend as my elder sister had to learn how to cook from her husband (when they got married) because she wasn't interested in improving her culinary skills when she was single, and today, they are happily married. Just take it as one of the many hurdles you have to jump in securing a successful relationship.

If what PHboy said about your unwillingness to clean is true, then my dear, you have to change. No man wants a wife who would turn his house into a pig's sty. Trust me, cleaning is never a hobby for anyone. If I had my way I would sleep all day and not move a leg, but it is part of our responsibilities as ladies to ensure that our surroundings are tidy. You don't have to scrub until your hands becomes sore, just make an effort. Initially, it's gonna be a conscious process but as you get used to it, these things would come easy to you.

As for bedmatics, are you married to him yet? NO! You guys shouldn't be having sex in the first place so don't bother with that. If he is not satisfied with what you give him, he has to re-examine his head.

About insulting his parents, girl, that his a huge NEGATIVE. A big NO NO. It's hard to keep shut when someone keeps bombarding you with insults but if you must retaliate, can you limit the insults to him? Or better yet, keep your cool and not say anything? This is someone you plan to spend the rest of your life with, you shouldn't be slinging cusses at each other.

@PHboy, I feel your pain but you come across as harsh and it seems you have a very caustic tongue. Take it easy on the lady. Every man desires a Stepford wife. A woman that models perfection but let's take a field trip to reality, not every woman is perfect. You can mold her into the better woman you want her to be, but you can do so without raining insults on her at every opportunity you get. It's not cool.

She's your girlfriend. You shouldn't make her feel less than a human being because of her shortcomings.I read where you said you'd get an immediate replacement for her should she decide to leave. Bro, that's just wrong and she deserves an apology for that. She's not a piece of furniture that you can afford to discard because it has one deficiency or the other, she is your wife to be. She deserves your respect, please.

I hope you guys are able to resolve your differences like the adults that you are.
God bless.

davidylan: he was one of the lucky millions. At least his "parents" were smart enough to put him up for adoption by foster parents well prepared to raise kids. What of the over 99% who roam the streets today victims of broken homes? For every Steve Jobs there is a Bill Gates born and raised in stable families.

Just like the parents of Steve Jobs, you could allow your daughter give birth to the child and put the baby up for adoption (you, the father/grandfather, could even adopt the baby ). That's way better than having an abortion in my opinion.

Sagamite: And so?

^ Lol! Sagamite and his sharp retorts.

I think what the guy is trying to say is that giving birth to a child outside of wedlock doesn't always mark the end of a teenager's life. Granted, getting pregnant as a teenager, under most circumstances, is stupid but one can still steer one's life back to it's right course after birthing the child.

davidylan: At 18? She can only make such a decision if she is clothing herself, feeding herself, has her own house and husband. As long as i am still responsible for school fees, food and co... she is not carrying another man's wahala.
Once a woman has a child outside wedlock, her chances of marrying a decent, hardworking, responsible dude automatically drops by more than 90% while mr. bobo can go on with his life as if nothing happened. My daughter should not be another man's used spare part abeg.

I have to say I agree with you. It's a tough one though, having to make a choice between abortion and birth.

Just one question: A good number of people would let their daughters bear the child for fear of complications that could arise during the termination process. How do you send your daughter under the doctor's knife knowing she could possibly die or lose her fertility? Wouldn't it be smarter to just let her have the child considering the grave consequences abortions tend to carry?

davidylan: No sin is greater than the other. She will have to abort period. My daughter may have made a mistake but unfortunately she will be the one to bear the burden for life. the dude can disappear and have a nice life.

If she is to bear the burden- her own burden- for life, why don't you let her decide what she'd do with the pregnancy? Why would you coerce her into aborting the child? After all, regardless of if she keeps the child or not, she bears the burden anyway.

From what you have said, I think your decision of abortion is aimed more towards saving the grace of your family than punishing your daughter.

Sanguine77: Most of you are talking for talking sake except you are from the South-South or Yoruba where pregnancy outside wedlock can be condoned. I am presently in Cross River where one of my students (16yrs)an SS1 student recently took in and was quietly sent to the boy responsible without any fuss. The truth is that immorality and promiscuity should not be tolerated. If my daughter who is a teen gets pregnant, I will certainly disown her; no mercy.
You wanna know why?

Yes please.

shymmex: Teenage pregnancy should be outlawed in a country like Nigeria..

The teenage pregnancy epidemic in a country like UK, led to a generation of wasted youths - with single mums everywhere..

I'm pro-life but not pro-stupidity.

If you are not matured enough, and financial stable to bring kids into this world - use a condom, or stay celibate..

I am struggling to understand the emboldened. By saying it should be outlawed, what exactly do you mean? Are you inferring that punitive measures should be taken against anyone who gets pregnant during [her] teenage years?

davidylan: i'm not pro-life...
God forbid but if my daughter got pregnant as a teen she will certainly not be keeping the baby.

So what would you rather have her do? Abort it? Isn't that a greater sin in itself?
