Autos / Re: Rickkychidex111 : A Con Man (business Deal Review) by markpenk: 10:53am On Jun 02, 2017
So, I've been following this thread for a while in the hopes that a speedy resolution would be reached. But it appears that the accused isn't willing to budge and remedy the situation. Rickkychidex111, all your "stories" have no bearing on the real issue here. You need to resolve this immediately because of the following:

Fact: chidi2pus sent you money for OEM parts. You didn't deliver. Shikena
Fact: You haven't said anything about settling the issue. You've just been dancing around the matter
Fact: chidi2pus is in the right on this matter because you rightly cheated him by sending him lower grade bulbs.
Fact: Ultimately, the customer is king

What chidi2pus does for a living or how old he is, is completely irrelevant to this matter and is really none of your business. if anything, it portrays you as being jealous/envious of him. if a young guy can afford a N10m vehicle, so be it. There are others who have bought a N20m+ vehicle without breaking a sweat. Instead, go double your hustle cheesy.

If I were you, I'd do everything to resolve this quickly, otherwise, the tags of a con-man and scammer would be appropriate. In fact, your responses here are helping people reach the conclusion that you aren't a straightforward person. And your threats are really not helping either.

Why ruin your business because of a measly 50k? And if you don't have it, why not reach out to him and offer an alternative sum so you can both reach a compromise and move from from this saga.

I'm pretty certain chidi2pus is open to shifting grounds if you offer a reasonable amount.

This platform is big enough to expand your business -ask Inspired, Gazzuzz, Calculusx and so many others who have benefited from maintaining a spotless reputation here. Don't drive away HNIs just because of 50k.

See these people looking to conscript others to share in their woes and losses.

Is MMM still around? Thought this ponzi scheme was dead. So, it's become a full time job ba. Not surprised really. In the words of P.T. Barnum (the father of ponzi schemes), "there's a sucker born every minute".

And if you can get them hooked on what you're selling, they will always sell your fantasy. Mavrodi did an awesome job here. These people should just give it a rest and let the participants begin healing grin cheesy

Romance / Re: Covenant University Graduate Searching For A Husband Lists Specifications by markpenk: 10:38pm On May 17, 2017
Interesting that you think faithfulness in a man is nonsensical, and that nothing differentiates one woman from.the other. Per your thinking, "they're all the same thing, and as long as I've got some money, I should sleep with all women". This flawed premise is exactly why we have far fewer men with integrity and excellent character in the society. But I digress.

To answer your question, faithfulness isn't about the lack or abundance of money. It's simply a way of life, a principle, a part of your character if you will. " I am a decent human being, therefore I stay faithful". It's not contingent on the availability or lack of resources.

Getting married isn't about how much money you've got. It's simply about you meeting the right person. Money only smoothes things over and further nurtures the relationship.

Good/great relationships are never about money. They are usually about many things -the summation of all parts resulting in the whole.

That said, this is an entirely different conversation -don't know how you veered off track and decided to fixate on the money issue, but that's okay. Figured that's what "got your goat".

On a final note, you would do well to make your point without the use derogatory or insulting words. I'm all for a decent tete a tĂȘte/jawjaw any time. Just keep it healthy, clean and respectful.

P.S: I'm a guy.


hedonistic:


This kind of orientation explains why the expectation of faithfulness in a man is nonsensical. Since the "practical" necessity of money is so important to most women as you claim, and craved by most females, can you tell me one thing that differentiates YOU as one woman from the millions of women out there who want the same material things that I have, and why I shouldn't 'sample' those women too, rather than stick with the same monotonous and stale you for the rest of my life?

Remember that the most "practical" thing about money is its utilitarian value. It gives you freedom - choices - options. If your dress gets torn at the side, with money, you don't have to stitch it (or manage it), you simply discard it and buy another dress. If a house is too small, with money, you can easily move to a bigger one. If a pot of soup becomes putrid, with money, you don't have to manage it, you simply throw it in the trash can and cook another fresher and more delicious one... And so on. Of what use, then, is my money if I'm supposed to stick to you for better or worse, knowing that you wouldn't even be with me if I didn't have that money, and knowing that for that reason, you're not different from other girls out there? What is the supranatural bond that should tie me to you in spite of anything else, considering the transactional nature of our union (I'm with x because he possesses y)? ? ?

It's a vicious cycle of deception. No amount of specious logic, fine words, or big English can change that fact.

Any man who God has blessed with any level of material comfort or riches, and yet decides to take any girl with this transactional mindset seriously, is the biggest fool that ever lived.
Romance / Re: Covenant University Graduate Searching For A Husband Lists Specifications by markpenk: 7:04pm On May 17, 2017
While you do have a point about her seeming emphasis on materialism, the reality is that she's being very practical. When it comes down to it,
romance is largely fueled and encouraged by finance and the same materialism you so ardently oppose. Without that, it's only a matter of time before the romance, compatibility and understanding go out the window.

I also think that she already assumed that all those things you mentioned -love and compatibility- were already a given. it's easy to try to see marriage through rose colored lenses, assuming that love would eventually cover all things. But, marital and relationship problems are often largely practical.

So, while I understand your perspective and agree that those things are just as important, the reality is that the things she mentioned too as just as important.
Organs:



Bros i disagree with you on so many levels. The list is all centered on materialism first and nothing on compatibility and relationship. Usually you have a girlfriend, you like each other and you get married and make it work. Most marriages these days, and this particular request and your analysis is based on the fact that we can only be compatible if we both see what you're bringing to the table then and only then we try to make stuff work, nonsense. you meet, based on behaviour, character etc fall in love, get married and build a life together its still the best way period. Know also that the marriage she wants that you alluded to is not sustainable if any of those elements should cease to exist, for example loss of job or sickness etc cos the marriage is a contract solely based on these factors.
Romance / Re: Covenant University Graduate Searching For A Husband Lists Specifications by markpenk: 3:53pm On May 17, 2017
Well... I don't see how her requests are very unreasonable. Before the guys bite my head off, please hear me out cheesy grin. It's clear the girl has/lives a different reality than most Nigerians, but also, one that's actually more common than you'd think. if your parents can afford to send you to CU, chances are you're already comfortable. So, a chick like that is bound to assume that basic needs will be met. After all, that's her current reality.

Per her requirements, my particular focus is on the following:

1. Income, Shelter and Provision - Ideally, no guy should think of settling down without a decent source of income, nice apartment, mobility, and the capability to feed the family. let's be honest here: who would want their daughters or sisters to marry someone without this? It's a basic necessity.

2. Acceptance of Wild Past- Well, she's flexible here. At least she's mature enough to understand that a guy can have a past. As long as he's outgrown it, that's okay.

3. No Children from Past Relationships -Well, this is a given for most people. Let's face it, Nigerians hate the After-1's. In fact, your parents probably wouldn't give their blessing to your relationship with anyone who already has a child out of wedlock. The rare exceptions where this might be acceptable to the parents would be if the guy or gal is very comfortable, pretty, incredibly well mannered, has very good connects or their child is getting too old for marriage.

4. Education and Global Exposure -This is mandatory these days. After all, you don't want to marry an uneducated person with a very limited worldview and/or one that's not presentable. If you do, chances are you'll become the butt of jokes among your friends, colleagues and your local community (see Patience Jonathan for example). With the rate at which everyone's forming "phoneh" now and access to the internet/cable TV, it'd be hard to not want this or at least someone who is articulate and intelligent, even if lacking the accent or pedigree.

Where our paths diverge is the physical description, no intimacy till marriage rule, and tribe. You probably wouldn't find all these qualities in any guy from one tribe. And if you do, chances are he's already married or is a playa. grin

Whatever the case though, to each his own. if this is what floats her boat and helps her sleep at night, good luck to her. Just hope she won't be at Shiloh and Holy Ghost Congress in 4/5 years begging God for any available man. grin cheesy

This girl has no modicum of reticence. Why is it the ugly ones with extremely flat, wide noses who take more pics, celebrating their "self confidence". Her other sisters who are prettier, and have none of the flat nose she has, take far fewer pics. She really should take less pics in general, even fewer ones with her face and huge nose up close or at least keep them private.

Properties / Re: Mini Flat For RENT @ Ago-palace Way, Okota, Lagos by markpenk: 11:34pm On Apr 21, 2017
Thanks for the reply. Makes sense. Still please post pictures, and when those properties get rented, you can always post a notice to that effect.

That said, do you have a miniflat or 2bed flat in Ajao estate with modern facilities? If yes, please post pictures.

Same applies to units you might have in other locations. I'm looking to do the inspection this weekend/next weekend. Thanks.




chuksLetting:



Advice taken.

But why I don't always post pics is because property doesn't waste time to get rented in my area. I know you won't be happy if you come for a specific property on my thread and I started showing you a different one.

I am a very straight forward person. I do this to help people both far and near to secure their desired accommodation while earning a living. What ever I tells you that I have is what I have. If you tell me what you want, if it's available I will tell you. I have helped many from nairaland here.

As I said, your advice is highly appreciated and I will improve on that. Thanks.

For the miniflat or 2 bedrooms flat you need, I have good ones in greenfield estate. It depend on your budget, I have 2 bed between 550k - 650k and in amuwo origin, I have 800k, all new and modern house with all the rooms ensuit. In main ago palace area, I have 2 bedrooms @ 450k and 500k
Properties / Re: Mini Flat For RENT @ Ago-palace Way, Okota, Lagos by markpenk: 9:26am On Apr 20, 2017
I see you have a few threads going here.

Do yourself a favour and post pics -you can always watermark them if you're worried about someone "stealing" the pics and misappropriating them.

No one will take you seriously without that. Do a search for Nysot's threads and borrow a leaf from that. If I was looking for a place on the island, she'd have been my go-to agent, simply because she uploads the pictures of the properties.

You'll generate more sales with them, than without them.

I am personally interested in a miniflat in Ajao estate, but might be open to the idea of other locations if they have modern facilities. Might even be interested in a 2bed flat.

But, I WILL NOT call you without seeing any pics.

If the president had to be flown into the country under the cover of darkness, and the moves surrounding his arrival are hush-hush, with no media house present for his arrival, then there's something wrong. This is so reminiscent of the Yaradua era. If we don't hear from him in the form of a national address by Monday at the latest, then it means there's really trouble and the man is very unwell -maybe even terminal and was sent home to live out his last few days

By the way, millions of CVs in their database doesn't mean squat. They recruit every 1-3 months. Good luck.
