If she should do so, trust the man to use it to insult her one day.

Nah, not every man. An intelligent woman can also use it to insult him.

chaircover:
The man should propose; he is the one marrying the girl and not the other way round.

What the man should have done when he saw the lady about to get on her knees to propse was to quickly get down first and him do the proposing saving the girl the embarasment.

Many of us tease our husbands that they were "begging" to marry us & I would imagine the guy will tell the babe the same thing after they get marred.

BTW was it Feb 29th? cos that is the day that women are allowed to propose to their heart throbs  

Why should he ruin the moment   He did his part by saying "YES" saving her any embarrassment although he could tell
her his mind when they get home.  

Me just thinks, whoever proposes would take up more responsiblity in the marriage. Kapish!

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THESE DAYS GIRLS READ AND BELIEVE ALOT OF RUBBISH THEY READ FROM MAGAZINES AND BLOGS. YOU SEE ALL THESE ARTICLES ON MAGAZINES, THAT SAY:

HOW TO MAKE A MAN LOVE YOU
5 WAYS TO CATCH A CHEATING BF
3 THINGS THAT MEN LIKE
6WAYS TO MAKE HIM WANT YOU.

AND GIRLS READ THESE THINGS AND BELIEVE IT, SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE THESE THINGS ARE DIVORCED , SINGLE AND SEARCHING, YET THEY WILL BE GIVING TIPS FOR RELATIONSHIPS ON MAGAZINES BECAUSE ITS THEIR JOB WHILE IN REAL LIFE THEY DONT HAVE SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP.

I WONDER HOW, A GIRL WILL BE ADVISING OTHER GIRLS ON WHAT MEN LIKE, ITS ONLY A MAN THAT CAN TELL A GIRL WHAT MEN LIKE. THE REASON I AM SAYING THIS IS BECAUSE I KNOW SHE BUYS AND READS ALL THESE MAGZ SO I GUESS THIS COULD BE ONE OF THE TIPS SHE GOT FROM THE MAGAZINE . BECAUSE I WONDER WHY SHE WOULD CALL THE RELATIONSHIP A "GAME". WELL I HAVE NOT CALLED BACK GUESS ITS TIME FOR FLEXING MUSCLES.

udo101:
FROM YOUR OWN COMMENTS, I GUESS U DON'T EVEN HAVE A GIRLFRIEND IN D FIRST PLACE, U JST MADE UP THIS STORY AND WANT TO GET OPINIONS TO YOUR VIRTUAL RELATIONSHIP, OTHERWISE, I SEE NO REASON WHY YOU WOULD PREFER BREAKING UP TO UPLOADING HER PICS, AND BY D WAY, WHO APPROVED DIS POST TO BE ON D FRONT PAGE?, MTSCHEWWWWW,

Its either that or you just aren't too proud of the babe. Would you maintain the same stand if you were dating
a beyonce or amber rose?

You don't really see a future with the babe and you don't want her soiling your image on a public network. There are both pros and cons in
either options you take.

Most threads just die off without us knowing the end of the story.

chipmunkey:
So how does forbes richlist inspire you? I like to know.

People use the list in different ways. For me, it's to know which industries are really profitable and the path they
followed in making the list, It also helps as a form of guide, gives hope, etc

chipmunkey:
I will rather be interested in Nairaland's business model or how such rich people made it to where they are Mr Maximip.

Now, we are back to what the original poster asked. How can you know they are rich without accessing the value of their
businesses and assets? You need that information to get interested in the business model. You don't want to be studying
models of businesses that are worth little or nothing cos it'll be a waste of time. It you're going to spend time in studying any,
maximize that time by studying a very profitable one.

And like I said, It starts with knowing the net-worth

I believe people should treat a gf/bf like he/she is their first and last forgetting every previous experience or future fears.

That said, It's actually not a big deal. I could label a girl as my gf on facebook and still use that same account to scout for and

recruit chicks. I actually think its even better that way. It's like an endorsement by your chick that you're boyfriendable making

other babes skip their initial gra-gra and formings.

at least its an improvement. with proper management, 500Mb is sufficient for a month.

@OP

but madame, if it is sure to pay off, what are you afraid of?

blink182:
40-50% is a very tidy sum from one match but what of the issue of matching your bet by others. The site is more or less a board man only making money from charges. Its a very smart business model they have.

Yeah, 40-50% with minimal risk is not bad compared to the usual 200% which could be very risky. Matching use to be a problem like a
year ago but not anymore. They seem to get all bets matched now. Even immediately.

blink182:
^
Wow, God bless you for sharing but what is the odd for the non event I guess its very small?

Obviously, the odds are generally lower for those kind of non-event bets. maybe 40 - 50% profit per bet but it's
a more guaranteed win.

Rutty:
This is amazing.

But wait. How will knowing the net worth of Nairaland help you?

chipmunkey:
[size=15pt]lol![/size] Our people don't just mind their business.

That's quite ignorant of the both of you.

Nairaland is a business and a source of inspiration to some. Why don't you go ask forbes why they
are making lists of the richest people in the world every year. They should probably mind their business
too

I use www.soccerfanplay.com naija betting site. It's the best when you get to understand them cos you can
choose to bet on what will not happen

For Instance, if you bet on the match not ending in a draw, you make money if either sides win as long as the match
doesn't end in a draw.

Minimizes the risk by at least 60% and I win virtually all the time without cracking my head too much.

If this list is accurate then Nigerian has a very loooooong way to go. Ordinary residential apartments in fellow 3rd world countries are 20 storeys

horny4u:
Buy her kama sutra books, flirty and Intimate books violet blue, tracey cox, felatio books , the way to become a sensuous woman by J is my Fav etc _{lemme stop before i gain a reputation.}
You the man, tell her to dash the kids to your mum.
Send her an hotel room key for short time break
Do it in front of the mirror while you tell her how gorgeous her body still is ( after kids many women become a bit insecure) so she can be confident like before.
Let her know its ok to be your well behaved princess outside the bedroom and your sslutt in the bedroom
sext her and encourage her to sext you back,
Google is a good friend here.

All these your academic theories sef.   Anyway, In practice, no matter how hard you try, you can't have these for 20 straight years. You just
have to deal with it when it aint there.

Seun:
That's partly true, but not entirely.  Nigerians read textbooks (if they can afford them) in school, religious books, motivational books, affordable romance novels, popular authors, etc.  I believe they will read even more books if it's convenient and affordable to do so.

This is also partly true.  The iPad, for example, is a great device for reading.  But books have certain advantages.  For example, you can take or put a book anywhere - taxi, molue bus, market, village, luggage, lecture hall -  and not have to worry about robbers or PHCN.  You don't need to have Internet access, power, or a credit card.  I believe a very many Nigerians will be better served by physical books for a very long time, but it's a good idea to keep fixed costs low so the business can remain profitable as the market gradually disappears.  One can move to areas where books are still needed.

A gradual transition to e-book production could be a way forward, but I think only publishers and device manufacturers (Apple, Amazon) and Google can make money from that.

C'mon Seun, unless you are doing it (for-profit-library) as a community service or it's located within or around a university somewhere, it's
not really worth it.

If it's profit you're really looking for, you'll make more opening a bar where the youths can get wasted and do anything except read. reading
non-fictional books is hard enough, even worse when they have to pay for it.

I bought 4 books recently and you need some kindof super powers to carry 4 of them at the same time. with a modern e-reader, I can carry around
2500 of similar books and use the reader for up to 1 month on a single charge. And since you're talking of non-fictional books, then you mean
books that you have to own to really make the best use of.

Although this is based on my Initial thoughts, with the right formula, I guess you could make a library profitable.

hardywaltz:
Noticed its only women who have been advising; well from a male dear op virtually all married men have serious girlfriend so don't let it bother u; there's no xplanantion to it so I can't volunteer 1; since I got married girls have suddenly loved me the more; its been GOD's grace remaining fidel till now but I just have this feeling it aint gonna last much longer. All my married friends have serious GF(s) and I have discovered that their wives now tired of crying and complaining monitor their finances closely so as to take the lion share for her and kids when money arrives leaving them with little to throw around. With those hungry chicks no money no love; so when my friend start staying home we know he has been stripped of all his cash, when money comes from an unknown source he suddenly becomes a superstar with girls all ova him; so the best advice I can give to u is to monitor his finances; find out all sources of his finances and keep a close eye on them; the most important advice I can give u women who complain about their husbands promiscuity is to[b] make sure he is aint doing it with 1 girl else dat girl will be d 1 to over throw u[/b];

I better go get married soon then. Seems I have nothing to lose.   the second bolded is also very interesting.

@OP

If you're really disgusted by him, why don't you just divorce him. You're not in Nigeria so it should work out very well for you and the kids. That's what I would do to a cheating wife no matter the situation.

Awesome. decongest Lagos please.

What a waste. Nigeria's biggest problem is that we hate ourselves.

[size=14pt]Anyone got gingerbread for SGS through Kies yet?[/size]

Lots of problems with a christian university admitting a muslim

The boy and his parents can never win this case. A university where it's compulsory for students to
go for church service at least 4 times a week.

The boy will now enter the school and tell them he is not going because he is muslim. He should go to
BOKO HARAM university instead.

Abujabir24:
U guys are fools. Do u think bil gate is brilliant? He only has d dough. Its his engineers dat re doing all the jobs. These re d his words. "i failed all my subjects in skul and my friend passed all his subjects in skul. My friend is now an engineer in microsoft and i am the owner of microsoft". So get it u fools.

You are the one who doesn't have his facts right. Failing in school doesn't mean you are dull. and besides, he was busy working on bigger things so he couldn't focus on school. Gerrit?

Oh lawd, can someone please make me in charge of security in this country. MEND, BOKO HARAM, ROBBERS, etc would be goners

@OP

Bros, take it easy on we Nigerians now. I've seen foreigners do this too.

Even married men want a sexy secretary. This dude is single and still considers it a problem. Please resign jooor.

otokx:
The indians you call iddiots erroneously are the ones who were chosen by the owners of the company to run the company in place of the "wise" Nigerians. If you guys feel so angry then go buy NITEL and run it the way you like.

otokx:
@rman

tell them, salary reductions is a strategy in business, even staff reduction.

This guy, you really don't know what you are saying or doing. How many indians do you know. They are just so f.u.cking racist. They eat from the same plate and drive small cars cos they are just soooo stingy. They hate every foreigner, even Americans and European. Even if they are right, I will never be on their side cos they will NEVER NEVER do the same for you against their country man.

otokx:
The Indians are not "animals", don't use such derogatory words. If the staff do not like the reduction then they are free to either resign or challenge such in a court of law.

Somethings are not just right. Indians love to make all the money in the world, yet they are very stingy to spend it on themselves. Only God knows what they use their money for.

Demdem:
Indians !!!!!!

I work with them and some work for me. I honestly know how the think at least to an extent.
However, there are some lovable ones among them no doubt. Am fortunate to have those ones with me.

Please, don't be deceived. The ones you think are good are doing you eye service.

[color=#9900ff]Lol there are still surprises. Like the movie 'Valhalla Rising'. . .a bit hard to understand. I loved the cinematography, but the story get as e be. No much talking sef in the movie.

I stay away from rottentomatoes. Most movies that score high are documentaries and i don't really watch those. [/color]

Valhalla Rising rates low. Never watched it, won't watch it. I remember seeing the first 10min or so, was bored to pieces and never finished it till date. Yet, i won't read what it's about just in case.

If cinematography is very important even without a superb story then you must love "The Hurt Locker" a lot too.

Bawss1:
Goodness, that's also my MO. Just get the ratings or score and I'm off - as long as its my type of genre. If I get to know too much about the movie before I see it then I most likely won't even see. That's the same reason I hardly re-watch movies unless it was a really great one. Surprises surprises surprises

Yeah, it's not easy to re-watch movies these days. There are just too many movies to be watched unless it's a very fantastic movie.

Jayboy124:
I forgot to mention (500) Days of Summer which I had to watch because all the stuff I read online. As it turned out, all the stuff I read didn't get close to describing what I watched. Fantastic film.

But don't you think reading it first before watching the movie takes away some kind of excitement when watching it.

iice:
[color=#9900ff]For a minute i was like, did i watch limitless?  
Anyway, i'm not solely interested in the story of a movie. Even if i know what it's about. . .i'm interested in a lot of things besides how the movie plays out.
And sometimes like Jayboy124 said, if i don't have a preference, i check out reviews to guide me away from rubbish movies.  Those Uwe Boll movies you know [/color]

well, you can't be bothered much then if you're not interested in the story. I guess I like surprises.

I stay away from the reviews. I just look at the score on IMDB and rottentomatoes
anything above 7.0 or 80% is most likely a good movie, provided I like the genre of the movie.

chioma134:
@Maximip and others,pls how can I browse using Wifi? Browsing runs down my battery too fast.

You'll need to be within the range of a wireless hotspot. Your phone should also support it. Not
all phones do.

Nahh, it's a luxury. I don't need it at all.

asha 80:
women can be funny.this happened to me some years ago when i was after a chic is school.when i toasted her she said no that she was not interested.i then behaved like a 'gentleman' and left her alone only for her to see me some weeks later and said to me and i quote

'that it seems i am not a persistant guy and that you need perseverance to get what you want in life'

of course i still have not changed that attitude.i only talk or toast a lady once.rarely i do it the second time.if it does not work i go my way.i do not have time to waste.

Mehn, that's my style too oh. I'll rather toast 100 girls 1 time each than toast 1 girl a 100 times.

Very Nice thread

But some people want to be using the time machine to be going back and forth as if they are just going to buy akara.

[size=14pt]What if you could use this machine only once? [/size]

If i could use it only once, I won't use it at all.

but if i could use it multiple times, I'll go back to when I was 14 and try to do somethings better. Get more spiritual earlier, concentrate
on the more productive things and try to invent the googles and facebooks of today. The machine should better not break down, I won't
want to be stuck there as my present and future is a billion times better. Won't want to skip to the future either as the fun is in the journey.

While there are some fun times in the past and some bad times too, "the butterfly effect" of changing anything could be unpleasant.

And if I can only be a spectator and not change anything, I'll like to go and watch myself as a little kid playing without any worries in the
world. Wonder why someone didn't take a video of that. I won't miss it for my kids.

Browsing is too ambiguous as I can browse all day on WiFi without any increase in battery depletion rate
