Mobilia: Ok... Let me say this about that man. Although it's been a minute since I've spoken with him and I think he exaggerated the truth at times and I don't agree with many of his points-of-view, he wasn't an overall bad guy. I saw some goodness in that man...and he is a fully grown man....no doubt. I don't know if he is married or not...he said he wasn't....but I can't confirm that. Over the course of my being a member of Nairaland from December 2016, I have spoken with him several times over the phone...and he is the only one (on Nairaland) to this day that I've seen on a video-call. He even advised me repeatedly to be very careful on the site! He is the only guy who has actually spoken to my dad on the phone.....so I thought enough of him to allow him a chance to do so. Not saying he is or was perfect BUT, I think desperate times have called for desperate measures.... oh OK, like you allow him do what he has In mind! And hmm wait you allow him what This ur dad, I wonder what he looks like and how he speaks  |

Mobilia: Yes...such is life for me... It's unfortunate for real.... But life must go on....
So why have you chosen to "follow" me? I like to ask folks that question.... exactly! oh very simple question to answer! Well because you not gullible or crook either... At least I can bet my ass you not going to lie any day anytime... Then again like I said I have plans /motives too  |

Mobilia: Well see....that's the thing. I am trying to be cautious..... I also notice that women try to compete with one another for a brother who's probably married anyhow... Women don't support each other.... See, I am real and raw...I don't deceive. Perhaps that intimidates people...but see I've had some life experiences that have built me up. I deal with people honestly and plainly.... Sadly, that's not the case for other people. well well, such is life for you.... come oo, I dey get yansh pain now oo, been seating my ass on the floor for sometime now, need to lay down on my bed.... so what your next question |

Mobilia: I tried to give him alternatives....(he wouldn't accept them). It was marry only....and he claimed he would never leave....lol. See...I'm not gonna marry a guy..so he can be married for two or the three year minimum, and then divorce me so he can bring his wife, children and extended family over... I would be a completely and utterly desperate, fool....which I am not. Nigerian guys are so smooth....with their words...only Jamaicans can compete on that level... But desperate times call for desperate measures...and a man will say anything to get his mission accomplished... very very true... I have one question to ask, but I can't ask you that now.... |

Mobilia: Yes....I did think that. See my experience on N.L. has been quite an interesting ride... I've had guys ask for money, want to marry for Green-card purposes, want to have me purchase items for them, pretend to be my "friend" in order to swoop in and do the Romance online "scam" etc.. Actually only (1) guy was honest about what he wanted....and although it sucks...I can't be angry with him. There was no deception on his part.....in that aspect...but of course I said "no". I find it hilarious when a guy meets you on Monday, is "in love" by Wednesday and wants to get married by Friday.....lol. Does that even make sense?
I think many guys believe a woman's desperate if she hasn't married..by a certain age. But in my country, that isn't a life/death issue. People may get concerned or may try to help out...but they don't start demeaning folks about it.
So with how things are faring in Nigeria in today's society, I know young men and older men want to desperately leave by any means necessary...so if that means marrying an older "Oyinbo", "Oyibo", or an "Akata" then he will do so... so did you helped this guy who was honest to you  |
Dating And Meet-up Zone › Re: Nairaland's Off Topic Chat Room + Derailers Paradise by Martin0(m): 5:13pm On Jun 12, 2018 |
Mobilia: Yes it does...but there's such a thing as a conscience.... If you want to get to the U.S., then do so legally...
But you know what boils my blood? It's deception....a liar in any form...a manipulator or user....gigolos who play games. See I can't get with that.... When I see folks doing that, then I have to pray to NOT have a vindictive spirit, try to make amends as best as possible, and then move on.. nice! you have spoken very well  more sense fall on you jare  |

People may get concerned or may try to help out...but they don't start demeaning folks about it. oh it no new thing to me, sometimes when I get to meet new ladies especially foreigners, they always sound this warning note to me  I just simply tell them why I want to be friends with her, very simple. .. Then again scamming have really eaten up majority of African youths precisely Nigerians.. But am trying my best to see how I can help my friends who are directly involved or indirectly involved... See I would have been a scarmer too, but then again it choice... life is to short to waste it... I just hope when my plans are concluded, definitely I will directly get them involved in it.. Just hoping sha majority of my female friends have been scammed...Well now you have been educated as a result of, maybe you have been scammed too.. |

I will always come back to hurt you if you lie to me, no one tell me or lie to me and goes free, not even my sisters, brothers ,cousins, uncle's, late grandfather, late grandmother .and unties, not even nairalanders who I follow, I always tell them... some few ladies on my list got problems with me and I hurt them back, to them it sounds like betrayer, but to me it not because I will always tell you from the day we became friends. this is just how or precisely how bad I am. when it comes to good, ummm that should be left for you, I can only accept to tell you the bad parts of me, which I just did, precisely one of them.  |

Romance › The Virtues Of Marriage!!! by Martin0(op): 8:01am On Jun 12, 2018 |
Looking back over the past year is one of my favorite traditions. I get to remember the ups and downs, the growth that occurred, and see what themes continually show up. This is the first year that I’ve applied this to my professional life, probably because it’s the first full year I’ve had as a hmmmmmmm you don't need to this sweetie  In looking back over the past year, I’ve seen an emphasis on 5 different virtues about marriage. 1. Choosing marriage is choosing to give up control of your life. I cannot emphasize this virtue any stronger: Marriage will cost you your life. If you value your own authority, singleness, or ego more than that of others, do not get married. Choosing marriage will require you to give up control of your life. You will make decisions that will affect at least two people (more later when you have kids), and this is a very difficult change from that of a single life. It might be the best gift ever given to a single person, and it’s the costliest. In a very real way, marriage is much like salvation. In accepting God’s plan and will for your life, you are setting aside your own to be submissive his his plan. This means that you’re an active participant in his plan, but your life is not about your happiness. Marriage is about giving up of ones life for the sake of the other, which translates to a giving up of control. “You complete me,” might be one of the most famous lines in the movie Jerry Maguire, and it might be the most misleading. Marriage will offer you the unique and unparalleled opportunity to grow. Marriage will not fill you, rather it will make you more aware of your emptiness and need for God, and only God. Unfortunately there is no real way that Hollywood /Nollywood can show more than an infatuated love. So we don’t get a real picture as to what mature, longstanding love looks like. Instead we get a glimpse of the joy and warm fuzzy love that we all want to have. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it’s not a lasting version of love. 2. Couples that protect pain from happening are preventing intimacy (connections) from developing. Its no secret that people don’t like pain. It’s also no secret that being in a close relationship is an inevitable date with pain. The challenge is viewing pain as though it is a gift, not the plague. Pain is not fun, but neither is numbness. I don’t know about you, but when I leave the dentist after getting a shot of Novocain, I cannot wait for it to wear off. The feeling of not controlling half of my face is miserable (not to mention the inability to know when I’m drooling). We were not made to be numb, we were made to feel. Pain shapes our lives either in our acceptance of it or our refusal to experience it. Creating a space for pain to be a welcomed guest in your marriage will serve you well. This is the task of every marriage: To create and develop a philosophy of dealing with pain. You will raise the next generation of people based on how you and your spouse engage each other in times of pain. 3. Marriage is a muscle: Use it or lose it. Marriage takes work, and will not naturally grow on it’s own. It takes consistent time and energy much like your muscles. If you were to sit all day every day for a year, you would notice a significant amount of atrophy in your body. Your inability to function after that year of sitting would likely take you a more painful and greater amount of recovery to return to your previous abilities (if ever at all). Once you have lost muscle mass, it is very difficult to get it back. Your months and years of dating and courtship are very much like a daily trip to the gym. You’re exercising the muscles of the relationship that cause it to grow. When you get married, continue your visits to the gym (literally and metaphorically). Read books together, attend marriage workshops, go on dates, spend intentional time together, take trips. Do all of these things regularly and your marriage will not atrophy. 4. One plus one equals three: Becoming one, requires two. One of the more nuanced challenges of marriage is to become one together, but remain distinctly individual in the process. It will take both husband and wife bringing 100% each to the marriage to make the relationship work. This is not a 50-50% proposition, it’s a 100-100% arrangement. Only bringing 50% of yourself to the table means you’re not being fully you in the relationship. When a husband or wife begin to lose their individuality, marriage problems will soon follow. Being an individual is not the same as being single, rather it’s being an individual who maintains their autonomy while being 100% committed to the growth and health of the other person for the sake of the marriage. This is the goal of marriage, to tend to and care for the spiritual and emotional health in our spouse. We have the best chance of doing this when we are operating out of our fully unique and individual lives. 5. Marriage is Redemptive. I know no other way to describe marriage more simply than its capacity to enact redemption in life. This comes in unimaginable ways as past wounds, hurts, fears, and resentments are all confronted with the woman of our dreams. Surrendering ones life to another is hard, yes, but it is also glorious. I believe this is the hope that beckons us to get married in the first place. We might not know this is what we are signing up for, but the spirit in us all moves us towards a need for being saved from ourselves. Marriage offers us just that: An opportunity to be saved from ourselves.
