RomanceRe: How Many Boyfriends Can A Nigerian Girl Have? - Video by lurkee(f): 12:16pm On Aug 29, 2012
Freiburger: Why dancing around? simply tell us what are and what you believe in.
ikekings: She's confuse....
I am not dancing around neither am I confused. I already said what I believe in the first post. I do not believe in having multiple boyfriends and the same applies to my boyfriend. I refuse to date multiple people or ask guys for money to help in my day to day life.

My point is that I found it funny that guys were abusing the girls and calling them names when in my opinion they are doing what works for them. I will not advise my daughters to keep multiple boyfriends but I cannot condemn the girls in the video. As long as the girls do not have sex with all these men, they should have their fun. I am sure they will settle down when they get to the real world. Shikena.

I am a Libra. I rarely have 100% judgement on any situation. I see and understand both sides of the coin. cool cool cool

Next2Bezee: There's only very little time the babe can stall "The Event" oO, Do you believe the guy didn't know what he wanted in the babe b4 he started going out with her?? cheesy Very soon the guy will start provoking and if he's sum1 who supplies his babe with "Kola" in her bank account then she musta lift up her skirt. lipsrsealed
LOL. That is true. A wise girl will not put herself in a situation where he can collect it by force. The girl that keep spending a guy's money but still goes to his house or invite him over when she is alone is just looking for trouble. The trick is to keep talking and going to the cinema or whatever and when he is turns aggresive, block his number. Settled. cool

druid06: You get sense at all? You sound like a baby trying to say his first words. On one hand, you're proud of what those girls are doing and on the other, you're a saint and a one man kind of girl? You're just confused. If you feel them girls on that video are doing what's right then you're guilty as them SAINT!.
Eya. Sorry dear. Even though I am not of the mindset, it does not mean that I have to condemn them. As long as they don't have multiple sexual partners (for health reasons), then they should carry on if it works for them. One day, they will pick their prince who meets a certain % of their requirement to settle with.

ikekings: Who told you? None of them will settle down as far as this video is still in circulation.... Dey just made dia life miserable although some of d gals on the video are already miserable plus d video circulation dats double miserable.....**lord have mercy**...
Is that what you are hoping for? These girls will settle down whether you like it or not. They are just in university. Plenty of time to snag a man either during NYSC or at work.

Guys like to think many girls are miserable and waiting for guys to talk to them and that is why they quote the scripture that one day will come when girls will beg. That will never happen. tongue

Even so called ugly girls have guys disturbing them so guys will continue to chase skirts and it is left to the skirt to accept. grin

RomanceRe: How Many Boyfriends Can A Nigerian Girl Have? - Video by lurkee(f): 11:22am On Aug 29, 2012
I love this video grin. The outrage from the guys calling the girls b!tches and all just shows that it is paining them. I wonder how many are faithful to one girl? Even if they are not having sex with multiple partners, most of the guys here will still be "talking" to another girl (even married ones lipsrsealed). The girls in the video know what they want and are going to get it from multiple boyfriends if need be. Guys are so gullible that you don't even need to have sex to get things from them. Shior. I am not mad at these girls jare. When they want to settle down, they will pick one and choose him to become their life partner. It could be anyone of you tongue

PS: I am a one boyfriend kind of girl and my boyfriend is a one girlfriend kind of guy. A lot of guys are not one girlfriend kind of guy so they deserve these ladies. grin grin grin
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Things You Should Never Do At Your Work Place by lurkee(f): 4:49pm On Aug 28, 2012
I love this. It is very useful advice. The problem is that spending more than 8 hours a day with the same set of people - perhaps more than some people spend with close friends and family - breeds familiarity. It takes effort to put to practise the advice 100%. At the end of the day there will be a co worker you trust and that person will be the person you confide in. While I don't think gossiping about personal lives is good, one still needs an ear to the ground. Office gossip can let you know when you are doing something wrong, or when the company is ready to let people go so you can prepare yourself. I think wisdom and discernment needs to be applied to office (as with other) relationships.
EducationRe: Olaolu Femi Jailed For Defending Self Against Racism In Ukraine by lurkee(f): 7:40pm On Aug 20, 2012
I wonder if he had taken the pacifist way of not retaliating, whether he could have spared himself this trouble. It is really unfortunate what happened to him but while we cannot control what others do to us, we can control how we respond. Poor guy, I hope he gets the help he needs.
SportsRe: London 2012: Nigeria Was Disqualified In 4x400 Women's Relay by lurkee(f): 8:40pm On Aug 11, 2012
It is a disgrace that a country with the resources and the population of Nigeria cannot even get a single medal. We have athletes so why are we so bad? Even the Kenyans and the Ethiopians have more medals that us. Shame. angry

I know some people might say why don't I go out and get a medal but I am not an athlete. I think the athletes and the coaches should do their job. Sigh.

FamilyRe: Marrying Someone You Are Not Crazy About.- Should I Marry Him? by lurkee(f): 3:10pm On Aug 11, 2012
The lack of tact from posters is so unsurprising. In the name of advice, must you get personal and attack the poster? smh undecided

From what the OP said, it sounds like she could do better. A man living at home with his parents at the age of 35 is lipsrsealed coupled with his character of being stingy lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

The bottom line is that you do not love this man and you want to settle. There is no point in settling at a young age of 30. I have heard of people taking 12 months (even 6 months) from the first meeting to the altar so be patient and wait for the guy that makes you happy. Imagine that you will live till the age of 90 with your husband, do you really see yourself spending the next 60 years of your life with this man?
NYSCRe: What Have You Achieved After Your NYSC ? by lurkee(f): 2:34pm On Jun 07, 2012
What a weird topic undecided

How can you be referring to NYSC that you did more than 10 years ago? Might as well start a thread on "Achievements Post Secondary School"

No offence OP but the responses will obviously vary by age.
CareerRe: Any Hope With 3.49 CGPA? by lurkee(f): 8:58am On May 19, 2012
Like others have said you should include your GPA in your result. I am probably in the minority of people thinking "He has a good result". See, in the UK your CGPA of 3.48 translates to 69.8% and a lot of universities will give you a first class with that result. Makes me wonder what standard the universities in Britain are operating on.
CareerRe: Have You Fired Anyone? How Do You Feel Afterwards? I Did & I Don't Feel Anythng by lurkee(f): 5:00pm On May 14, 2012
I guess it was not just about the woman, she was only the straw that broke the camel's back.

Good luck with your health.
CareerRe: Have You Fired Anyone? How Do You Feel Afterwards? I Did & I Don't Feel Anythng by lurkee(f): 2:58pm On May 14, 2012
I am sorry to hear about your health and I truly wish you a full recovery.

However, I think you felt something - maybe regret?. I echo the feelings of others in saying that you should have let the woman know what she did wrong and then call the cleaning company to complain about the employee. I think they might have not even minded if you asked for the woman to never return instead of terminating their contract. Also, you could have demanded for training in by force customer service oyinbo style cheesy

I feel bad for the innocents who lost their job and the rude woman who probably doesn't know it is her fault and she might never change and carry over such manners to the next job.

What is that saying of spilt milk? cool In my opinion, it would be somehow to go back on your decision. It might make you seem unreliable given the strings you pulled. Good luck.
CareerRe: What Will You Do? by lurkee(op): 9:31am On May 03, 2012
jay bee: If you have set goals the I'm afraid you have to motivate yourself and stay determined to actualise them. It's really that simple to be honest.
Nothing stops you from accepting the job and immediately start with applications to the mnc as an experienced graduate.
Do you have a BEng or MSc in Engineering?

Another thing I'm worryingly getting is the fact that you have conveniently eliminated the risk of not actually getting a job in Nigeria. How would you go about managing that should in case that materialise?
I will graduate with an MEng. which is on the same level as an MSc here.

I am certain of a job in Nigeria. The thought of being unemployed has not really entered my head. I suppose it is possible but I think eventually I will get something in Nigeria if I choose to start there.
CareerRe: What Will You Do? by lurkee(op): 9:15am On May 03, 2012
jay bee: How many Mr B's do you think you'd be able to find in Nigeria these days?
In the current worldwide state of troubling unemployment figures, it had be suicidal for a graduate with no experience to live certainty for uncertainty.
The only sane way to go about it is follow Mr Tanimola's suggestion. Get the necessary experience then move back as an experienced employee with loads to offer.
The problem with starting and moving back for me is that it will probably not happen. Once I start work here, I will probably get too scared to move back after a number of years. Also by then I will be married probably to someone in the UK so that is that. If there is a time make a decision it is now. I wanted to hear from people who might have experienced something similar either themselves or through someone else.
CareerRe: What Will You Do? by lurkee(op): 8:52am On May 03, 2012
Thank you all for your inputs.

The point of coming back to do NYSC is that it is a necessary evil to begin a career in this country as an employee. After NYSC, I, hypothetically, will be looking for a "good" job.

Lets also assume there were 2 friends in a similar situation in the 1980s when it was relatively easy to cross the pond. Let's name then A and B.

Mr A got the opportunity to move to the UK and started a career in the medical field as a nurse.

Mr B (lets assume he is my father) stayed in Nigeria chose to start his career there.

At the beginning of their careers, Mr A had a nice flat and a car and moved his whole family abroad to meet him later on. While Mr B lived in a face-me-I-face-you with his unemployed wife and their first child.

Many years later, Mr A has managed to buy a house in London but he is stuck in London till he finishes his mortgage and his kids got sent to university through the government student loan process. Mr B on the other hand, went on to become the CEO of a successful company, managed to send 3 of his children abroad for their universities and has retired from a corporate job and he his now working for himself.

Would a fear of ending up like Mr A compared to other peers that chose to stay in Nigeria be a logical one? undecided
CareerWhat Will You Do? by lurkee(op): 11:07pm On May 02, 2012
**Hypothetical situation**

Say you are about to graduate in Electrical Engineering and you have a job offer from a top multi-national engineering company in the UK.

Will you accept the job offer and stay in a country where your chances of being wealthy is small but you get an easy stable life

or

move to Nigeria to do an NYSC and hope to start a career that will potentially generate a lot of wealth and opportunities for wealth later on but deal with boko haram and other instabilities in the economy ?

What will you do undecided?

FamilyRe: I Am Not Yet Ready For Motherhood. (how Can I Make Him Understand?) by lurkee(f): 7:42pm On Apr 18, 2012
[quote author=luckgames][/quote]Maybe to you as a man but forcing a woman to have a child when she is not ready is the worst idea ever. She needs to enjoy the process and she might change her mind during the pregnancy or she might not. Is that what you would want your wife to go through? Even people who wanted a child end up with postnatal depression let alone someone who was cajoled into it. God forbid bad thing.

BTW if roles were reversed I would say the same thing. I still think it is wrong when a man said he is not ready for children and some women agree and after the marriage trap the man into it. Those situations rarely end up well.

Both of them need to be ready to have the children.
FamilyRe: I Am Not Yet Ready For Motherhood. (how Can I Make Him Understand?) by lurkee(f): 7:26pm On Apr 18, 2012
jennykadry: Maclatunji, even I as a well established career woman would think twice before having another child. Na beans? this guy is still young. He might not be up to 25 sef. You have got to be kidding me, he shouldn't have married her cos right from the beginning she told him exactly what she is telling us right now, he agreed to it got married to her and gbam he changes his mind, that is bullshit my friend. Ofcourse he has no probs wanting kids, but let me remind you that the 96% of the Aborigines(not even the white australians) have no qualms having kids but are they able to take care of those kids?nope. Yes I repeat this is Australia, they live in sydney(i stand to be corrected), living expenses are high, taking care of a child is expensive especially for them, he works part time, he is a student, she is a student, they just got married, he hasn't got a career and neither has she. This is not a decision that can be made overnight, they've got to get something going.
You have said well jenny. I think it is not fair he changed his mind on her on something that could change the course of her future career. The way he changed his mind is the way he should unchange it (with her help as the voice of reason).

I agree with you about the living cost in Australia. I am in UK and it is nothing compared to Australia. My BF went there for a year and his living expenses were even more than in London which is already a lot. I don't know if they have welfare in Aussie so maybe they can get child support but even then, at least 1 person needs a stable job abi. undecided

IMO the tension from trying to change his mind and waiting will be far less than that from you combining a child with uni especially one you were not mentally and physcially ready for. It does not seem worth it to me. It is up to you as a woman to change his mind after all it is you who will carry and nurture the child. lipsrsealed

Good luck
FamilyRe: I Am Not Yet Ready For Motherhood. (how Can I Make Him Understand?) by lurkee(f): 7:17pm On Apr 18, 2012
I think jenny has given sound advise. The compromise of trying to have kids in your last semester is a good one. If you are lucky to get pregnant immediately and you are graduating with a belly you know that you will have to chill with the job hunt right?

You guys seem to be in love and your husband might be getting the baby fever but you need to convince him that it is not practical right now. Seeing as you are both in school and all.

Off topic: I never really got why some men did not want to marry and they made their girlfriends wait till they were settled as in job, house and car. I always thought you can make the step to commitment and then wait before having kids so you can still do all of that without the expense of kids but now I know. Marriage = babies for some people. If a man tells me I am OK with not having kids with you immediately, I want to make you my wife and then we can build our lives together - I would think of this thread. grin

My advice to you OP is to try your possible best to make your husband see reason. Kids are not pets, you cannot return them when they get too much. I think it is best when you are both ready. If you do it just for peace you might resent it later if it affects your studies. My mom got married to my dad in uni and had 1.5 (bun in oven) kids before graduation. She did not start work till 5 years after graduation and spent the a lot time away from me as the first one because she could not cope with having me around during school term.

Goodluck.
RomanceRe: Men: Do You Like Assertive Women? by lurkee(f): 11:17am On Apr 18, 2012
Onegai: If you're waiting for your man to love you as Christ loved the church, better leave him smiley it's easier to change yourself than change him. See Vashti and Esther: the same King made unreasonable demands, which woman got him to do what she wanted?? Who was more successful, Madam dont-try-my-beauty-and-order-me-around-in-front-of-your-friends or Mrs Darling-your-wish-is-my-command?? When you love him stupidly, he will act like a fool to please you. TRUST ME! There's a time to stand your ground and 80 percent of the time, is NOT the right time.
Mehn I don tire talk
I see your message: "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar". I think most people should go with someone who complements their personality. I am an assertive and confrontational person by nature. I do not know how to pretend, if something bothers me, I will tell it like I feel. This way I don't bear any grudges and my BF knows where he stands with me. My BF loves this and he is the other way round. Very soft spoken, calm and reasonable. Together we are like magic. If I am angry, he will rarely get angry at the same time. The few times he gets angry, the way he talks prevents me from displaying my madness and this works for us. I cannot see myself with someone with a short temper as we will be fighting everyday.

The kind of men that like assertive women are the kind that are calm, easy going and no-wahala kind of men. Every man is different.
FamilyRe: Married To An Atheist by lurkee(f): 10:26am On Apr 06, 2012
davidylan & harakiri you guys are no longer contributing constructively to this thread. Carry your sphere vs circle vs corners vs ends lessons elsewhere.

For the OP, I am currently dating an Agnostic man and he is the most tolerant and loving man I have ever come across and this is coming from the daughter of a pastor. I have chosen to believe in the bible and like most Christians I have picked the rules to follow that would lead me to live right. I am in no position to judge my boyfriend and you should not judge your husband too.

You know deep in your heart that he is a good man and when it is you both at home you are OK with him exactly how he is and the problem is with others. You don't have anything to be ashamed of. Most religious people are hypocrites so it is only the heart that matters.
FamilyRe: I Caught My Husband Cheating On Me by lurkee(f): 7:45pm On Apr 04, 2012
dayokanu: Put yourself in the husbands shoes, Assuming you were cheating and you hear your husband is around, Would it take you 30mins to open the door?
Yes because if I came out in 5 mins smelling of someone else he would know immediately. Also I would need to put on my bra, arrange my hair make sure nothing looks suspicious. If I was in a meeting and my husband came to my place of work, I will not let him wait 30 mins without an explanation. From the sounds of it, he was in a meeting with one person so why could he not excuse himself to tell his wife to wait if he was not doing something suspicious in the meeting so serious that it required a locked door.
FamilyRe: I Caught My Husband Cheating On Me by lurkee(f): 7:32pm On Apr 04, 2012
Danka7777: A man can cheat on his wife and still go home and be a fabulous father; respects his wife, makes her happy, provides for the kids, does everything that is required of him as a father and as a husband. Most men are like this I can tell you, they only cheat because they want to put in their phallic symbol in a different hole size but also doesn't want emotional connection with this partner or mistress, just flesh satisfaction. After he has done this, he comes back home, guess what? He still loves you and not the woman he is sleeping with.

To the contrary, when a woman cheats, she is giving all her soul and body to this new partner. In most instances, she is in love with this new partner. If this new partner tells her to get rid of you, most likely she will do it. Why? Because when a woman loves, she will do anything and not think about what she is doing until she's hurt. So my point is women who find themselves in this situation often apply women way of thinking or loving to their husband's infidelity. He is cheating so he must have giving his soul and love to this woman. The answer is NO. Men don't think like you women do.

So my advise to you is, since this man is still a good husband and father, don't rush to get rid of him as many here are advising. If you get rid of him, do you think you can find someone else that will take you with your kids and pregnancy? I can tell you, you will not. It may be just a fling thing but his love and soul is still with you and the kids. Many men do this and still come home and love their family and be great fathers and husbands!
OMG! shocked Are you for real? The bolded is what useless men tell their wives to manipulate them into staying in horrible marriages. Men get away with a lot only because women let them. A lot of men would not be this calm if the roles were reversed.

@OP I am not even going to try to advice you because I am sure people will come here to give you the "good" advice of talking to him, letting him know you were not happy and continuing with the marriage as if nothing happened. angry

I can only speak for myself in that if my husband thinks he will cheat and get away with it, he has another thing coming. I am talking about deliberate, repetitive acts of cheating and not a one time mistake. Even then, it will take a lot for the marriage to go back to what it was. I am happy that I have been brought up not to depend on any man taking care of me so the whole "Who will take care of you if you leave me" mentality will never be my portion.

If I were you I will ask what happened at work and you should know your husband well enough to tell when he is lying. If he tries to make it your fault and you become the one apologising then you know you have a red flag there.

If someone decides to hide things in a marriage then the other partner has a right to be suspicious. If you have nothing to hide then why lock your door for 30 minutes. Mehn let me leave before the "You don't have any right to talk because you are not married" brigade comes here.
