cutecommend: Looking for a decent girl today is not as so easy. We have decent and God-fearing ladies, and we have many ladies who have sex. Before you meet your wife, she might have had several sexual partners, probably met bad guys, probably done lots of bad stuff.... You will just have to close your eyes, ignore the past and move to marry her like that...
There are more single ladies than single guys. There are millons of single ladies in Nigeria. Literally hundreds of millions of single and searching around the world.
It cannot be impossible to find a decent one without reducing your moral standards.
gentlemmy: I was bored and decide to stroll around the compound, there is this particular spot where snakes usually chill early hours of the day or late evening. I've never seen one but anytime I'm there, I'm always cautious and secretely wish to see snakes (I've this double feeling about snakes, I hate it but like seeing it)
Lo and behold, I saw this juvenile snake hunting for insect or so, it sense my movement and run to safety, I thought of letting it go but in few months time, it'll be all grown and pose a threat to people around.
I picked a stone and threw on it and boom I hit it spine, it motion was limited and I picked it.
Growing up in the North, regardless of the dignitaries that come for Islamic weddings, it was highly conservative. Today, it is completely westernised.
EkehPraise: Like every well brought up young man, I'm in my early 30's and really doing fine at least I'm not begging for anything from anyone.
I set out this year to wife my girlfriend whom I had dated for 2 years but her character made me think twice so we broke up and I moved on. I have tried to make friends with matured ladies in the church I worship but it's been from one bad experience to another.
Ever since I started looking for a woman to call my wife I have been meeting different characteristics of women. Within the space of 1 year I've met one who is a maniac, one I met at a hangout didn't hesitate to show her lazy attitude the day she came to my place to see I'm a bit comfortable, another one I met recently in church turned out to be a thief.
2021 is almost over and I'm yet to find a wife. Where do you advice I go in search for a good woman?
Wife material scarce oh!
As a man, do NOT have a deadline to marry. Marry wrong and all those achievements you think you have will go up in smoke. Marry right and you will be happy all the days of your life.
DSS? BNG should take their dance to the North where terrorists are visibly burning people in locked buses. What is next? DSS/ Unknown Gunmen in Abia State?
tamdun: Jonathan tried to play a fast one but those guys were miles ahead of Jonathan. Jonathan/pdp were in power, had the majority in the house, why would they need the permission of the opposition to present a yoruba speaker? What game were they playing?
You have chosen to ignore my statement, which is Chief Bisi Akande's statement. That they- the Yoruba folks- obstructed and prevented their own kinsman from entering into the exalted position of Number 4 Man in the country.
It is very instructive. And your excuses are instructive. It appears that it isnt a case of "Yorubas hate themselves", but a case of a long-winded explanation from you. It is very instructive.
tamdun: GEJ has no power to make anyone speaker, as u can see from the article, he begged to make Mulikat the speaker despite the fact that his party were the majority but the one he has power to do, he refused to
OK. Now focus on the fact that Akande, a Yoruba man, planned with other Yoruba politicians, to foil the ascenion into the Number 4 office of another Yoruba man.

Kriss216: Of what use is marriage if it's not designed to make me happy?
If one can't find happiness in marriage, why engaging in it?
It is for two already happy people coming together. When two happy people come together, they are not of course looking for happiness. They are looking for purpose, achieving bigger things, procreation, etc. Not happiness, because they are ALREADY happy.
Yesterday, Nigerians woke to the good news that the world’s digital infrastructure company, #Equinix, was in the process of acquiring #MainOne, a West African data centre and connectivity solutions provider, at an enterprise valuation of $320 million.
The deal, which is expected to be closed by the first quarter of 2022, will add more than 64,000 gross square feet of space to #PlatformEquinix, with 570,000 square feet of land for future expansions.
MainOne owns and operates a 7,000-kilometre subsea network from Nigeria to Portugal, as well as 1,200 kilometers of reliable terrestrial fiber network across southern Nigeria.
The company’s digital assets have helped connectivity to and from Europe, West African countries and the major business communities in Nigeria.
When completed, the acquisition will extend Platform Equinix into West Africa, giving organisations based inside and outside Africa access to one of the world’s fastest growing markets.
In this interview, #FunkeOpeke, CEO of MainOne, who will be staying on as Chief Executive of Platform Equinix after the transaction is closed, and #JudithGardiner, Vice President, Growing & Emerging Markets at Equinix, throw more light on the $320 million deal and the value proposition for both parties and other stakeholders.
It should have been acquired for nothing less than $5bn.
This is data we are talking about. Of nations. How much was Whatsapp acquired for again?
ngoziwrites: So, I met this great guy online. After 2 weeks, we met in person and everything was perfect.
It's almost 2 months since we have been together.
He asked me out while we were together and I gladly said yes. (I have met a lot of players�). So while we were together, a discussion popped up and he said he can't discuss anything related to marriage until after 6 months. I pretended not to hear.
I don't know his financial capacity but I know he is doing okay. He controls the family business. They sell trucks, trailers and all. He is also a landlord in one of his father's houses at Festac. We stayed at a hotel. 25k per night. He paid for 2 night and I paid for one night. But during these times, we went to his house.
He said he didn't want me to come to see his place because it's the first time. And he said the house is very hot too.
Our communication is great but he doesn't look like he wants marriage soon. He has said things like marriage is hard work. He has also said in 10 years time, people will hardly be getting married.
Then one night, we were talking and he said I "see my wife as my responsibility" I will take care of her and of cos, I am okay but I will still be very very rich, so I can't bring in any woman to suffer now" .. That's what I am sure I heard but I was scared to ask him to explain further or repeat himself.
He is actually okay, he has two cars but importantly, he has sense and he is very hard-working. But he is very principled and we have actually had several instances where he doesn't pick my calls at night. It happens often but I am starting to trust him, because sometimes I call by 5am and he picks and says he slept off. Sometimes we would be chatting on WhatsApp and after I call him 20 minutes later, he won't respond. He is not married!
So, I currently earn 450k monthly and I have been able to save something meaningful, so I can start a good business before getting married or after. I haven't stated because I don't know which one yet. I started a restaurant business when I was 23 but it failed.
If I ask him and he says 1 year, of course, I can wait. I will be 26 years next year April.
We will seeing for the 2nd time next week. I plan to ask him when he sees himself getting married but I am scared and the way he carries himself makes me reluctant to ask such.
About two weeks ago, I wanted to even surprise him with gifts. I asked for his account number and office/home address. (He picked me up the last time I traveled to see him, so I don't know the address". Well, he didn't give me these details. He said when it's time I will have them.
Two days ago, he said a friend's younger brother is getting married. He laughed and said people just dey marry. He has once asked me "You dey find husband?" jokingly-
I would like to settle before 27. Is it bad that I am thinking this way? If he says he is looking to get married in 2-3 years, i think it's a bit far. 2023 is still fine. But the problem is he doesn't really sound like marriage is on his mind. He will be 32 next year April too.
We vibe a lot. But he says I love you sparingly. Sometimes I say it and he doesn't respond, he will say tomorrow I will tell u or no, I told u yesterday.
But we are really really cool. I like him a lot and he likes me but I think I like him more. He gives me attention, I don't have to ask.
If I was 23, I won't have a problem waiting 3-4 years. But since I am ready mentally, financially, I am looking for someone who wants it within 6 months to 1 year. I can still try to do 2 years if I get someone great.
Ask him and get clarity from him. Whatever he first says, is his honest assessment.
Loreettaa: That number 4 is your number 1. No dey disguise The reason y'all won't like to take an African woman abroad is because she will get to know her rights, and "use them against" you. You want to be able to get sex outside without her wanting a divorce and taking the house. You want to be able to beat her/the kids "in correction" without them calling 911 on you. First World countries respects the rights of women far more than Africa does, and the possibilities of what she can do with that knowledge, scares you.
I dont care about your opinion or what you think. Believe me.
There is an Indian, Chinese and African system that embodies family, community focus and growth. Quite similar in context, the three. This is what I believe in. Thank God, I am the man and it is up to God and me to make the decision on who to marry. Not up to the woman- bless her.
mrbenjame: Please I need an honest opinion. I’m not saying there’re no good women. But the rate at which women who marry their abroad hubbys and thereafter go to join them overseas and start misbehaving gets me very worried and sometimes afraid. The question is
1. How often does this happen? 2. Should a guy go on to take his chances? 3. Should he marry someone already abroad? 4. Should he settle entirely with another Nationality totally?
Guys make una input o make we know where we Dey.
1. Get someone that has the same value system as you. SAME not similar. She has gone through life & has her own value system and convictions. 2. Get someone that is not broke. If she hasnt seen money before or hasnt travelled to exotic places, she will eventually change when she sees money. 3. Get someone that isnt too attached to her mother or family members. 4. Get someone that believes in the conservative African value system of "wives, submit to your husband" and "husband, love your wife". 5. Finally, get someone who is accountable to an elderly person (not her family members). 6. Get someone from a stable home, where her family does NOT have any divorces or single parenthood prevelance.
These reduces the risk you are scared of, greatly. NB: These kind of persons are rare but can be in Nigeria or Abroad. Location isnt the problem. The person, is.
These guys want to whitewash the murder of the MBA student. Must be a "foundation" set up by the owner of the hotel. Unfortunately, nothing will happen to the criminal hotel owner.
Apparently, he was captured and then shot extrajudicially. Like Mohammed Yusuf, his handlers are scared that he will talk and expose them. So they shot him.
Dangerous Flags 1. "asked for her hand in a relationship and without knowing much about her": Gentlemen NEVER ever do this. Ignore the pressure from anyone. Ignore, and abuse them. 2. "though she declined the offer by my parents and family members to go pay her dowry.". Run from any Nigerian woman that scorns traditional & African conservative practices. 3. "pleaded that her father had so much hurt her mother and her that he didn't deserve the honour of collecting her dowry." Run from any woman that is unforgiving. Run and save your lives. If she has a bad childhood, RUN from her. 4. "I could beg Bolaji when she was my wife for sex for weeks": Run away from any woman who gives you a slight hint of emotional disconnection to you.
These are things that which he ignored before marriage. He is paying for it dearly. His mother went to the grave, an unhappy woman. If he dies now, God forbid, it will be 33 years of severe unhappiness. Leave, leave, leave if you suspect these traits in her before marriage. Be unemotional on this decision and LEAVE.
Jollylolly: Who are you naw? lol A whole sec of state of US had to come down to Abuja from USA to see Buhari and Him. These people dey rate themselves too much. Spits
