LOL! Sorry, I just had to crack up at the title. "Your Girlfriend Who U Love Sooo Much Dumps U For A Guy Who Is More HAVING." Hehehehe, I bow in awe!! |
ayinisong:Ehen, now there is your problem. You are not only "too clean", but you sound like someone who whines about it rubs it in someone else's face. Clean is good. Don't get me wrong. I love clean guys. But like Posakosa said, if you are a man and are too much of a clean freak, it can be a turn off to some ladies. Doesn't mean they are dirty. It just comes across as a bit un-masculine. Your kind of "cleanliness" also comes with being too "neat" and that is feminine. I can handle a clean guy but not a neat freak. I'd rather my "clean" guy tells me, "Kech, go clean up where you ate? I told you I don't like that", than for him to clean up after me and whine about how messy I am. Also I'd rather he scolds me for leaving dirty dishes in the sink, than he doing them himself and later whining about it. You can teach the girls in your life how to do things you like, and they will conform, trust me. But don't whine about it like a girl. That's the BIG turn-off right there. Even for a so-called "dirty girl". From your original post, the problem is not that all the girls you meet are dirty/messy, you've obviously met some clean ones too, but both the clean and messy ones can't stand your lifestyle. That says a lot. Maybe you need to cut them some slack . Your cleanliness may be a tad bit obsessive. I for one will flip my lid if my husband or "guy" tells me to make the bed before I even drink water in the morning, or if he opens his mouth to complain about how I left my shoes in the middle of the bedroom after I just came back from a long hard day's work. Talk about being an irritant. I'll just strangle him in his sleep. ![]() PS: Errrmm, Oga. You DO NOT want a girl like you. It WILL NOT work. I promise you. Two obsessive clean freaks in the same house is a recipe for disaster. You need someone to balance you out. Some one messy to keep you on your toes and keep that adrenalin pumping. Note, I said "messy" not "dirty". Two different things. |
I went to naija over the summer for 2 weeks and I didn't spend up to $1000. NO KIDDING!!!! A lot of things factored into this though. 1) Free housing, free car, free food. 2) I made sure I had enough gifts to share to friends and family. I only give money to my siblings. My parents do not take my money. They'd rather I get them something. 3) I'm lucky to have very good and responsible friends who can hold their own. I always get them nice things but they NEVER EVER ask me for money. Whenever I go to naija I hardly spend a dime with them. They don't even let me. They treat me like a baby. They say "Kech, don't worry, we gat this." From daily trippings, to recharge cards, you name it! I don't have time for slackers, lay-abouts and parasites. I see myself as a loyal friend because I always have my friend's backs, and I expect same from my friends. I have friends I un-remorsefully dropped like hot cakes because they don't keep in touch. They only remember me when they need something. I don't need those kind of people around me. In other words, I have less friends now than I did before I left Naija. And the other ones know better than to show up at my door whenever I go back.NB: Please change your money into Naira before you give people. People seem more ungrateful when you give them in Dollars or Pounds because it feels "less". |
akinwunmi:Hehehehe, Oga poster you are too funny. Then what exactly is the purpose of your question since you already know? ![]() |

Pharoh:Am I the only one that read the question they asked? They asked which is more difficult and you are here going on about importance, respect and salary. The fact that a profession is more respected than the other does not mean it's more difficult. This is not a power tussle. It's not that serious ok? |
chire:Chire I really understand your situation. I barely missed a 2:1 because of a lecturer. I came out with a 2:2. It could have been worse if not for the fact that I had an a family friend who was a lecturer and he helped me hold off the guy for a bit. I've seen lecturers wreck people and I was a victim (even though mine was minor). That's why I don't judge people with their class of degrees. For crying out loud, I remember when I went back to collect my statement of result and at the 'Exams and Records' office, someone was telling me to pay a certain amount to upgrade my GPA to that of a 2:1. I know at least 3 people who did it. At that time, I didn't want anything to do with that school anymore. I was already traumatized. I wanted to get out FAST! I just said "No thank you." and bounced with my 2:2. PS: There are people who really deserve their 2:1 or Third class. I'm just speaking for those who had circumstances that befell them. |
Pharoh:The same way you guys are comparing your "Mighty Law" to SSCE / JAMB mathematics. If maths were that easy a lot of us will be Quantum Mechanists/Physicists (considered to be one of the most DIFFICULT things in the world). |
All these Lawyers want to come and confuse person here. Before who go talk say im profession no difficult. Look, no be to blow grammar. You guys are here saying. "Law goes above and beyond. Law is wide, Law is vast. Law is a Science, Law is an Art." The next thing you'll start saying "Law is Quantum Mathematics, Law built the car you drive, Law solved the issue of aerodynamics, Law translated binary codes for programs and computers you use today. Law is brain surgery. In fact, if you quote section 200 of surgery law, the brain will heal itself." Come on guys. You don't even want to go there, because we all know mathematics has different areas I dare not even mention. Or maybe the name "Mathematics" is decieving you. You think it's the SSCE or JAMB maths you got into law school with? |
tolly4real:My dear, I understand jare. Men do have it easy and you can't really hold them to their word. I've heard guys talking to themselves saying "Ol boy!, just gree. When una don marry, then we go know who pay bride price." Even if the guy agrees to allow you practice yours sef, his relatives will say, "Eh? Who is marrying who?" Anyway, as long as you truly accepted his way of worship and it works for you, you'll be fine. I agree, there's nothing worse than having the kids get caught in that mess. An unfortunately, only us women are the peacemakers. |
I don't think this is a fair comparison but seriously, let be honest. Mathematica hard pass. We all know the poster is talking about "Law" as a profession and not "Law" as a noun, so lets not deviate from the main topic. The ability to cram law books is not a measure of difficulty (If someone wants to go there). If you have An open mind, A very good memory, Tenacity, Street smartness, Ability to make good judgments, A Poker face and a Lying tongue, you can study Law. As for mathematics, it's endless. The further you go, the harder it gets. If your brain can't handle it, there's absolutely nothing you can do. Even brain surgery will not help. So in other words, it is more difficult. I'm not down-playing the difficulty of Law, Its just not a fair comparison. |
Tpia wrote:Ah ah? Tpia, na you dey talk like this? Anyway, come on guys, let's be reasonable here. Yes the guy is insecure but he has a real problem that MOST of us have even if we won't admit it. The post says "SHE'S TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR MY COMFORT." He's uncomfortable and that's normal. It has nothing to do with being a "man". If you go out with some one who is overly attractive you are going to be insecure a lot of times. Not because you don't trust the person but because you know that he/she will get about 3 times the pressure an average looking person gets. The insecurity always stems from knowing and realizing that the other person is human and hoping and praying that he/she resists all advances. And also knowing that the other person will ALWAYS be under that pressure probably for the rest of his/ her lives. There's the fear of having to live with that. I don't know if I can. Trust or not, the fact is being too attractive does have its disadvantages. I would know . Don't mind me. Anyway, as a lady I know a lot of friends that say they don't want any guy that's "too fine" because they don't want to die early of high Blood Pressure. Other ladies won't allow the poor guy rest . And I understand them, the poor guy is only human. It only takes the Grace of God. Like someone said earlier, hopefully the girl is also God-fearing because my dear, the temptations ehhh . And you know say na the thing wey person don already get na im another person want. It becomes some sort of competition. More like who can get the fine girl/guy. |
tolly4real:Exactly, but do you "love" at the detriment of your spirituality. Are you willing give up all you believe in just to make a man happy. Why do women have to be the one to make the sacrifice. My uncle told me that he will NEVER allow a woman change to his religion or denomination because she's in "love". If she does it'll be because she really ACCEPTS his religion and wants to change. He said his conscience will not allow him, that everyone has a right to personally choose how and in what manner they want to worship God and he won't be the one to come in between that. I almost got married to someone who was in a different denomination and of course everyone expected me to change as the woman. He knew I had nothing against his church but he also knew I'd rather worship in my own way. Friends, relatives, everyone knew my worry. Most of them said "Don't do it if you won't go into it whole-heartedly". Others said I would be a fool if I let such a "little thing" like that get in my way of getting married. ![]() But the thing is, it works for most people. It's not a bad thing to do, as long as the person changing is doing it willingly and accepts it FULLY, and not because he/she claims he/she is "in love". Love and Spiritual compatibility are two different things. They both have to work for a successful marriage. You can't have one without the other. I mean you can, if you force it. ![]() |
iyeyemi:Yep, that's what I was wondering too. The first thing is, what is the purpose of this card? Is it for tax purposes?, For census purposes?, For infrastructural purposes?, For barring people from coming into the state?, What exactly? In the US it's usually for tax/record/census/identity/infrastructural/benefits and their likes. Depending on the state, you have to get at least 2 forms of documentation to prove you are a resident of the state in order to get your card. It may be some kind of bill, paycheck receipts and so on. Even children have to get proof that their parents are residents. But that DOES NOT mean you cannot live in the state if you don't have the card. [/b]You just won't be considered a resident of the state and won't get some benefits the residents get. Some people who live outside the state are even considered residents in some situations. I like the idea though but there are other issues that need to be sorted out. Remember we are talking about a country that cannot even control the distribution of its [b]supposedly "highest" and "most secure" document. The international Passport. |

Nimshi:You make sense. But to be honest, letters, papers and long story holds no water in Naija. Shey na if dem deliver letter abi? Also we all know when a system is corrupt, there's a huge possibility the source of the rot is at the top. In other words, he/she may get the "letter" and trash it. In issues like these, the media is the best bet. The way you deal with Nigerians like this is to EXPOSE them WITH NAMES! Put them on blast. It may not change the situation. They may or will still keep doing what they are doing, but at least they may become more sensitive in dealing with such issues knowing that people know their gimmick and think of them as rats. I can confidently tell you that even this Nairaland is more effective in spreading the message than filing bogus complaints. Do you know how many people, including those who work there, have seen this and passed on the info to all and sundry. Leave matter ooo. Don't underestimate the power of the media and the web. All it takes is the right person in Exxon Mobil (either in Naija or abroad) coming across this post in order to start an inquiry. No company wants to lose credibility. Anyway, since the media in Naija is usually political and cannot function democratically, let us use the medium we know. NAIRALAND! ![]() [b]P.S: [/b]I am forwarding this link to my 2 friends in Houston. One works with Exxon Mobil and the other with Chevron and knowing the kind of people they are, I know they will "spread" the gist. Who knows, it may spread faster in Chevron as per competition levels. But seriously, this is kind of a small issue because almost all companies do it in Naija. But that doesn't mean we can't NOT do anything about it. I just think we need to start speaking up more. Nothing may come out of it but it's worth the try. |
Don't mind them, those people really have a warped sense of humour. |
The ironic thing about this commercial is that the transaction the woman made was actually legit. The lady saw a pair of shoes she liked, ordered it, the website merchant in Nigeria sends his "boy" to go and get what was ordered. So in the end, it was all good. But there's an underlying tone to the commercial. It's like it's painting Nigeria in a positive light while still using the "Internet Fraud" stereotype of Nigeria. This makes me question the REAL purpose of this commercial. |
I was just jejely watching CSI on cbs, the next thing this Identity Guard commercial came up. I was like huh?!!! [flash=425,344]http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/PkPn_hiFj5M[/flash] |
Okay guys, just heard this from my cousin in Lag. You can now rent Lace front wigs and Human hair weaves. |
But come ooo, did you see the font page headline. "Maryam Babangida Says She's Alive, Is She Lying?" LOL! Nairaland! And I thought the problem was only with the members. Moderators, you guys sha ![]() |
Alxmyr:Right on point!!! You just read my mind. I couldn't have thought of any other people to mention. It really takes more than being "sexy". |
Ah ah? It's not an easy sometin oo I love the ring. Not too elaborate but very unique and classy. *cough* *cough*, ermm, to my future husband, I hope you are taking note. |

“I must confess that some time last week, I got a message from Prof. Achebe inviting me to Bryan University in Rhodes Island, state of Massachusetts, United States of America. LWKMDWhich one is Rhode Island, state of Massachusetts again? All these so called "educated" people we have in office sef. Rhode Island is a state, so is Massachusetts. These people don't know that before they open their mouth for the press or the public they should get their fact straight. No be to go school be the problem. |
My dear, I tire for Nairaland. A topic that has been beaten up a million times is making front page. This topic came up in 2006, 2007, 2008 and now. Such warped sense of priorities. ![]() |
Can't wait to see this movie. Someone said the movie already premiered in Houston and that it was WOWWW!!! |
Few months after recording a resounding success with When The Heart Lies, leading female filmmaker and honcho of Purple Pine Productions, Vivian Ejike, is set again to hit the local and international movie scenes with another box office. Entitled Silent Scandal, the thought provoking flick, according to cerebral Vivian, would be released on VCD and DVD soon in Nigeria, Europe, US and the rest of Africa. The dramatic love story that revolves around the hidden and triangular love lives of a strict mother, her spoilt daughter and an indigent ‘playboy,’ has top actress, Genevieve Nnaji, as the lead act. Uche Jombo, Ebele Okaro, Ghanaian import –Michael Majid and a host of other emerging acts. Shedding more light, pretty Ejike, who just returned from the UK where she went to tidy up some movie-related deals, disclosed that Silent Scandal was painstakingly shot with hi-tech production equipment and thoroughly manned by tested professionals within and outside Nigeria. “It’s a contemporary movie that will blow away the minds of movie buffs. It’s also an emotional story, where a mother and her only daughter, unknowingly, are torn apart by the true love and lust of an indigent young man. Silent Scandal is full of intrigues and suspense from start-to-finish. With all sense of modesty, it’s another plus for Nollywood, especially now that the nation is preaching the gospel of re-branding. We believe so much in quality films and productions at Purple Pine and that is what this movie stands for,” disclosed Vivian, a former top banker. The movie, which was directed by a Nigerian filmmaker based in Los Angeles, US, also featured a live Fashion Show by award winning designer, Zizi Cardow and her leggy models. Gathered that Cardow’s cameo appearance in the fast-paced movie was well applauded by the cast and crew. Aside producing and financing the big budget project, Vivian, with over 13 years experience in Nollywood, also wrote and screen played the forthcoming movie.

Chai, there's nothing one will not see on nairaland. Wo, my friend, just ask us what you want to ask us. - "Should I dump my old girlfriend because she old pass me and it can have consequences in the future?" - and stop all this one wey you dey yarn. "Betwixt" ko, "Betwixt" nii. From your tone, you want to be with the "small girl". Please just let your "older" girlfriend go so that she can move on with her life jare. Don't waste her time any longer. You are planning on getting married next year and you don't know who you want? Are you waiting for the ninth hour to break her heart? I don't get guys sometimes. ![]() |
Number 1 is so on target. That should be the first move any guy/girl makes before considering the rest. Run FAR FAR away from players!! |

Note, I said "messy" not "dirty". Two different things.
