The kind of women he is talking about are rare.

Brother you are right, but one of the things I would look at for in a lady is her way of thinking, most guys make lot of mistake here forgetting that their wife is probably going to be the determinants od their children's life till they are probably 15, I don't want kids who would take to nairaland one day to proclaim that sex is almighty during a relationship, poverty has also affected ladies sense of self worth,

It sounds great on paper but I am not sure they actually have money to build it now.

Lot of loan facilities, bro

sir, you are right, but the problem to me has never been agricultural products but other auxiliary services tied to it for instance a study in 2014 revealed that 70 percent of tomato harvested eventually get wasted, there is the problem of transportation, storage, and crude implement(we have to import those),and lack of productive research generated by research institutions, I believe we have do focus more on industrialization and service.plus we really lack God chosen leaders like Awolowo who used cocoa to build university of IFE, Cocoa House, Bojija housing estate offered free education and construct roads

Dear house,
I need mature advise on what could be my problem.

I don't play hard to get but indirectly am looking it.

I feel sex is not love. I walk away whenever a guy makes sexual request.

How do I kown a guy meant well for me. Things I see this days about (men n women) baffles me.

Cheers

My dear you have no problem, it's your conscience at work, and you are still innocent at least to some extent, girl don't go and fall for one boy's skills, if you don't feel like don't do it,and be careful of the funny things on nairaland while some advice are good, most are usually given by over eager teenagers, Sex is not love,you should ask girls that got dumped after having serial sex with their boyfriend in the name of love.

Yes intimacy (not sex)is good in a relationship, but the way many are sounding it seems most ladies are really cheap,or they have been meeting the wrong ones, guys when you get to a certain level in life sex would be the last thing you look forward to get from your girlfriend, sex is really overrated and slightly insatiable" maximum 1hour.And maybe all of you claiming that you can't date without sex haven't met a lady who respects herself and has more to offer than sex or just a beautiful face.

Hmmm, the difference in between is insignificant, but I see no difference between a lady who is engaged to a guy because of money and people referred to as ashawo".most ladies no longer know their worth, they prefer the excitement that bad boys give them and neglect the care and respect the so called nice guys give them, Look at women like Mitchel, Hillary Clinton, Folunsho alakija, they went for the men who gave them healthy respect and therefore prevented been compared to sluts, ladies be that woman in the book of proverbs.Who can find a virtuous woman??

Brother, except your uncle is speaking from a spiritual point of view, I think his advice is born out of fear, Do you know you can die before that girl? death is not programmed, and concerning you kids you can't give birth to an SS,Brother always remember this:
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with
those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the
disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and
recycling it for more than it's worth.Go and beg that girl.

I like you sweet heart, you are either starved of attention at the moment or trying to appear trendy".Have you been hurt before,? if so I think the guy who did that to you must have made a social monster out of you.Try to change

Folks, I had six distinctions when I wrote WAEC(2010), and I believe it's actually possible for one to make A in all but my reservation are: when I got to the university I met folks with better results some of which were sent packing in their first year, some finished with a third class, I also observed during my service year in Edo state that most results are gotten through miracle centers, I even offered to coach some students for WAEC they simply told me " uncle don't worry they would help us" some students pay as much as 50k for WAEC registration.Don't get me wrong, I believe it is easy to get 9As in WAEC at least some folks abroad finished a Phd at the age of 22, but most of all the As we see are product of cheating.

Folks, am not against anyone but have observed that those who claim to be rich aren't really rich, there are so many rich guys who don't go up and down announcing their wealth, investment bankers, Assets managers entrepreneurs etc, Do you know Nairaland is worth billions in valuation?? yet seun is relatively unknown

Folks am a Nigerian and I believe in the Nigeria project, I know how much is been spent on the Niger delta project but my points are this:
1, The get more money than others but its still not enough, remember they literary feed this country
2 corruption is worse in the Niger Delta, scholarships are politically distributed, most militants are fighting for their own selfish interest, and they have insincere government
3 in a federal system of government the federating" unit should have access to resource control.
4 government itself is insensitive just look at the present Nnpc board, it is full of Nigerians from the HAUSA extraction, in a normal society no problem but in this Nigeria its a cause of fear.
5 Awolowo built Oau, cocoa house, bodija housing estate, offered free Education, didn't make IRemo his town capital of the old western region, neither did he build a university there, he did all this with just cocoa money, Folks our problem is not tribalism neither is it about resources rather it is about bad. leaders, we all don't ask them to be responsible, have you ever watched a US presidential debate??

If u speak impeccable english, av a good diphthong, try out a radio station, tell them u wanna work for free for 2months, they shuld give u a shot

Best Advice, no need for schooling just do some private reading and brush up your skills.

I think this would not solve the problem, but am indeed happy for the poly guys, government got it all wrong with the establishment of poly, what should have been obtainable is to make technical oriented degrees only accessible in poly, where it becomes impossible to study Engineering in conventional universities, and everyone comes out with a BSC, just like MIT and caltech, including imperial college..if this plan falls through we all should get ready for a classification of universities in Nigeria by prospective employers.

Dear Mr. Odutola, I think it will be an exceeding saving of time and more business-like if I avoid all sweet preliminaries and go straight into the object of this letter and say that I am writing to ask you to be good enough to lend me a sum of £1,400 (One thousand and four hundred pounds) free of interest for twelve years. It is a staggering figure! More staggering indeed does it become, when it is realised that I, who am asking for this loan, have nothing in all the world to give as a security for this money, excepting my good faith and my brains which again are of value only so long as I continue to breathe the breath of life! Nevertheless, I here proceed to outline in brief why I want this big loan from you. And I hope you will be kind enough to sacrifice some time to go through what I have to say, even though , in the end you might find yourself unable to do me this grand favour. One great ambition of mine since my boyhood days is to be a lawyer, a politician and a journalist, rolled into one. I cherish politics and journalism as a career. ; and I desire advocacy as a means of livelihood. For you will agree with me that a politician or journalist who has no money with which to support himself and family comfortably ,is like a blade which has no razor. Now, at one time, I was on the verge of making enough money with which I could proceed to England in order to pursue the object of my ambition; but I suffered a twist in my fortune, and I crashed. Ever since, I have tried without success to recover lost grounds, financially. But spiritually and intellectually, I have made appreciable advance in spite of towering difficulties, all of which have now been surmounted. As you are aware, I have just passed the intermediate Bachelor of Commerce Examination. Next year, I am taking the final B.Com. Having a degree is not my goal; I hate to be a government or mercantile employee. Otherwise, there are opportunities for me here and there to get a suitable and well paid job under government or one of the mercantile houses. As you know, however, once I become an employee of government or a mercantile establishment that is the end to my career as a politician and journalist. I have therefore resolved that under no circumstances will I take up such employment. That is just by the way. I am now thirty-four years of age. After careful thought, I have come to the conclusion that if I could raise a loan free of interest sufficient to cover expenses , I should go to England , this year and within three years, I should qualify as a Barrister –at –law, and also obtain with Honours the LL.B Degree of London University. In addition this degree apart from giving me good backing as a solicitor and Advocate will help me immensely as a politician and journalist. But where on earth could i get the money? Who in Nigeria today could give £1400 free of interest to help his fellow-man? J.Henry Doherty, Esq., of illustrious memory who did the like to many successful Nigerians is no more. But after meticulous, shifting and weighing, I hit upon you. I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that out of the bounty with which providence blesses your grit and efforts as a businessman, you can well easily afford to advance such a sum of money. I have no doubt too that as a young and progressive man you will be quite happy to give the money for the pursuit of the project for which I desire it. But then, could you take this risk? That is the question. As I have said before, I have no security for this loan. Moreover, I want it free of interest. So that you stand to gain absolutely NOTHING in the whole transaction ,except the satisfaction that by helping me to achieve my ambition you are indirectly or even directly helping Nigeria or even Africa. This risk becomes greater when it is borne in mind that I might die in the course of my studies or immediately after , so that, since I have no security or surety, you stand the chance of losing not only the money but also the satisfaction which you may cherish that you are contributing to the uplift of Africa. It is indeed a great risk; the greatest any man ever embarks upon. But, this is a big BUT, if I live, as I have no doubt I will do, you will not only get your money back in full, but you will , to the end of your days , have cause to rejoice that you have done one of the most outstanding and most philanthropic acts any human being ever does. Among other things, I shall make excellent use of the money while in England by breaking records in my examination. On my return to Nigeria, I shall strive to be one of the foremost advocates, politicians and writers in West Africa, and while I do all these, I shall make it a point not only to pay your money back in full, but also to repay your kindness and generosity towards me in every way I can. All the same, it is a big risk! So , Sir, I like you to think seriously about it, and see if you can take it in the interest of a young man who has brains ,industry and determination to back his ambition , but lacks the money. I know we have never been close friends, but I have a shrewd idea that you may take the risk and help me. On this assumption, therefore, I proceed to the next and last stage of this letter. I shall not require the whole £1,400 in a lump sum. To start with, you will help me pay a sum of £208-13s-3d to the Inner Temple. I have already received an application form from this Inn of Court; and from the details forwarded, I gather that the sum of £208-13s-3d will cover all the cost of training as a Barrister, examination fees excluded. When I am ready to sail, you will advance me a sum of £100 to cover passage, provision for my family and any other incidental expenses( NOTE: If i got torpedoed on the way, you would certainly lose this £100 but you will recover the £208-13s-3d). At the same time you will remit to a London Bank the sum of £491-6s-9d. It is out of this amount that I shall pay the university fees for LL.B course a, and for special courses in political science and journalism, when I land in England. This is to say, the initial advance will total £800. At the end of the first year, provided I make satisfactory progress in my studies, you will give instruction to the bank to honour all cheques from me drawn on this account. There will be an arrangement to be signed by me on my return. On my return, I shall require TWO years within which to establish a solid practice and build a good reputation. After these two years, I should commence to pay at least £200 per annum either in monthly, quarterly or annual payments. So that in seven years after the first two years, I should pay back the whole sum of £1,400. That will be TWELVE YEARS from the time you help me to pay this in April or so this year, then I should be due to pay the whole of £1400 by April 1955. Now, as you yourself will see, this is the farthest limit within which I can pay the money. It may be possible for me to pay the money within THREE to FIVE years of my return. As a matter of fact, the sooner I pay it off, the better. But it is much better to be on the safe side in a matter like this. It is no making promises now which will be difficult to fulfil in future. On the contrary it is better to mention a period of twelve years and pay within SIX or EIGHT years than to mention FIVE YEARS and fail to pay within TEN years. Personally, I prefer that I should fail to get the loan under theses unattractive but sure conditions, rather than succeed in getting it under attractive but precarious conditions. Now, this is all I have to say. You have my request before you, and the reason why I make the request. It is left to you to decide whether it is worthwhile to take the risk of helping me in the manner outlined above or not. If you do me the great favour, not only myself and all that are mine, but also God and Africa will be grateful, I shall have no cause whatsoever to grumble or to blame you, FOR THE RISK IS GREAT. Since this is a very selfish request, I enclose herewith a stamped addressed envelope for a reply to be sent to me under registered cover. With very kind regards. Yours sincerely, (Sgd) Obafemi Awolowo

I understand where you are coming from especially with your feelings,dating someone for more than 3years one might tend to lose the glamour but girl,love isn't that good chil that runs through one's mind,take for instance when you got admitted to university,you were so excited and all but as day turned into months you lost that initial excitement and got used to the routine of schooling.Go and ask your mom,she no longer feels the hormonal love she once had for your dad,rather she is more concerned about the character of your dad,love is patient and the soul of this world would test everything including our will.Don't make this boy know that he can do without you(He can)He is still innocent.if you leave him you will get the excitement you want but it would only lead you through a series of hearbreaks, Define loyalty?

Did you understand the concept of TSA at all?
TSA is the best thing that has happened to Nigerians. Hw did you think we'll survive with d current oil price while d country depends solely on oil. TSA help government to earn more money.I believe diversification of d economy is d best option out of the present predicament. Forest should also b open for cocoa n rubber planning esp. in d SE regions. God bless Naija.

brother TsA isn't that good for a developing economy,have explained why in an earlier comment,you can check it,and do you think the government is supposed to be the highest employer of labor in a sane evonomy,just imagine how many jobs Facebook,Twitter,google,Microsoft,Amazon,and LinkedIn has added to the US Economy..and that's just the IT sector alone o

While the introduction of TSA is a good move to reduce corruption,it has created a problem in the banking sector as,accounts have been closed,money available for banks to transact business has also reduced,interest that would have been generated is been lost as the TSA is just a dommant"account.Again can anyone help us tell buhari that the focus on Agriculture is just too myopic,the world has moved beyond that stage,industrialization,and a service based economy is the key,The operating profit of google and Amazon in 2015 would fund Nigeria's budget conveniently..The government should also focus on Education and research,the world is now knowledge driven.

The national assembly is full of evil individuals,how can you be diverting public funds when your allowances are just enough to take care of your basic needs for like,and the average Nigerian is struggling to survive.Folks some individuals don't even have water in Nigeria,we just have selfish people up there,who don't care,is this a product of a selfish society??But let us face it,this corruption scandal is as a result of fall out with the initial Gbajamiamila speakership failure.

We thought obasanjo was the guy,many gave Good luck Jonathan the benefit of doubt to rule Nigeria while Yaradua was seen as a clear case of imposition,at last we had Buhari who promised to change the whole system,a year into governance the misery continues,my subjective opinion is that Nigerians deserve the leaders they get,how can a president promise to deliver positive results by just listing his intentions,without explaining how he intends to go about it, why didn't we ask the governor who promised to deliver the dividends of democracy how he intends to go about it asides funds from the federation account? What kind of electorate are we,??

let's be sincere all this local ranking aren't worth celebrating,Nigeria's education system is down,great research going on in some schools" but,no practical dividend to show for it, Folks I finished from Ui,but I think if government does not increase spending in Education five years from now,covenant university is going to be the nation's pride.Either ways it is not going to be bad news.

Lol, you might be right thou....

I just tried the site u gave me, I saw Sidney Sheldon's collection, but it seems I'll have to download the whole collections and not just the books I haven't read, because to be Frank I've read almost all the books in that

Who loves reading, looking for Where to download novels....

what kind of novels do you like?African or foreign?

The reality of the Nigerian society is telling on every aspect of life not excluding relationships,on a normal day spending money should not be an issue in and after a relationship,but because most people have had bad experiences in the past or heard about people who have,everybody" is unconsciously trying to be careful of spending,which makes them practice excessive economy in spending and affection.because nobody knows who is who,Real love I would say don't get scared of spending,Hillary Clinton was taking care of more of the finances before marrying Bill,but poverty in Nigeria has made love difficult.people value the money they spend than the affection they share.What's love if not companionship,?

At any rate I hope the story is really friction" but what is wrong with we youths,sex is becoming more important than normal,Don't get me wrong I look forward to having great sex with my wife but I bet it when the children comes,when we both have to chase our goals,when the need to hold our hands through tick and thin comes,cuddling,companionship,smiles joyfully" shared tears" would mean more than the lustful passion of sex..Example if your mum or dad is around 4o+years, they become more interested in guiding you through life,seeing you getting married,getting each others respect
