Tallesty1:
I'd like to share a story with you. I enjoy stories, as they are often what older folks excel at. 😄

My church hosts a program from time to time; it's an all-night event where singles of marriageable age and selected married individuals come together to discuss various aspects of marriage.

On one occasion, a topic was brought up, and women were discussing at length how they could love a man and do everything right, yet things don't always work out. As people began giving reasons for such situations, I was given the microphone, and I suggested, "Perhaps you should consider respecting them instead of just loving them. If what you're doing isn't working, why not try something different?" This led to a lively debate, which I won't go into, but one woman took it personally, and we had this conversation.

Woman: Are you married?

Me: No, ma'am.

Woman: I've been married for years, and I can emphatically tell you that love is what has held us together from day one. We've been through a lot and come out stronger because of love. You're not married, so you may not know enough to form an opinion on this issue.

The women in the audience applauded her.

Me: That's beautiful, ma'am. When did you meet your husband?

Woman: A few months after school; I was staying with my uncle and waiting for my service year.

Me: Was he a student too?

Woman: No, he was already in business and doing fairly well.

Me: How long did you two date?

Woman: Just a few months. He made it clear that he was looking for a wife, but we didn't get married until after my service year.

Me: That's wonderful. Now, let's imagine a scenario where your roles are reversed. You are a successful businesswoman, and you meet a young man fresh out of school with no job and no NYSC certificate yet, and he proposes marriage. Would you have married him as quickly as he married you? Please, be honest; we are in a church.

Woman: What are you trying to say? That I married him because of money or something? I love my husband, he knows it, he sees it, and he feels it. He's here and can speak for himself.

Me: Thank you, ma'am, for being honest with me.

I summarized the conversation, which was quite lengthy and filled with drama, but I believe you can still grasp the main point from this excerpt. 😄

Bros give an abridged version of the summary you gave that day na.
I want to learn from you.

honour7:
Let her go with the baby and marry a new wife, there is an 85 percent chance you have lost her

Haba bros

This is uncalled for na, you want to give him reasons to start thinking or even stop the wife from leaving thereby putting a stop to an opportunity to change the living conditions of the family.

Oxtertee:
look at the merger amount the kadashians are generating, na only during election their figure dey swell like Ijebu garri.

At least dem dey contribute well for one area

Seems the answer is coming the other way round because those least ranked are doing way better than us.

ravensckar:
Una don start with una lies abi? Una no dey tire ni?

30k for contributory gift & Charity? Just talk sey na money wey you take dey bang Hoe.losho monthly.

30K for clothing? So, you buy clothes for your wife & children monthly? Bros, lie no go kill you.

Medicals 15k monthly? Shey you be Sickle Cell patient ni (apologies to all sickle cell carriers).

In summary, you want us to believe that you only save 10% of your monthly earnings? Na him be sey you no suppose to open mouth insult any government official because you too aren't great at managing resources.

Mind you, I also have a family of 4 (myself, my wife & two kids) and we no dey spend reach half of wetin you type there. Make una suffery suffery dey lie for public forum. You guys will keep scaring the fresh & upcoming graduates into thinking that they won't survive.

Haba?

You have time to be answering him
Check very well, that person you quoted is not earning even half of what he was analyzing.
Them go come online dey form wetin dem no be.

christejames:
Nice one but why him come use ekelebe color run am na?


Na to scare axemen?

That's UNIBEN's colour.

Anonymoususher:
See ehhh for me personally at this stage of my life I don't think there is any benefit for me being single.

I'm 31yrs old and my life cycle is only work, church and house. Most times weekend I just find reasons to go to work so that I don't feel bored.

I have friends who are married so it shrinks my cycle because they spend more time with their family.

My case is even worse because I don't even go out, I neither drink, club or even go anywhere.

It's just me moving from room to parlour like that all day.

I crave for a family, I am sick and tired of being a bachelor, I want to see my kids like e dey hungry me.

I have been single for too long and see no benefit of being single anymore.

This is me here, you even have work to go to on weekends, I don't because we are not given access to the Office on weekends unless with the approval of your head of unit or a higher authority.(Due to the nature of the sector am in)

The only thing helping me now is that my job involves lots of traveling (one month in Lagos, one month in another state) but you see that month am in Lagos, na boredom everywhere.
Not easy.

Yugoslavia247:
Shut up abeg.

Don't bring igbos to neutral issue.

This benefits both igbos and non igbos.

Like what is the need for tribe here.

Is it only igbos that live in Lagos.

If they contribute then they also gain.

Please let us look and pass

Bros you should have ignored that slowpoke you quoted, he is obviously out to cause another tribal banter this afternoon.
You should have ignored the fool.

Good start, I hope you keep this up.
On a side note, only God knows where Eastern ladies get their beauty from, I mean look at this woman looking beautiful even for her age.
Eastern ladies dey fine abeg .

Note: I'm from the South South o(to those tribalistic morons that would want to quote me to talk rubbish)

Niom:
We've been scammed by Chelsea again..

See me laughing hard
We were on our own when you guys came with a bid for him o, nobody forced united into buying MM
Don't worry, he will pick up with time

DeeBaDan:
Okay Mr. Oppressor. Kuku come out and brag openly.

What and what have you achieved at 40. Let's rephrase your hypocrisy abit

Perfect response to the OP

Anaskie:
How did you arrive at this magical calculation? Na wa ooo

The thing surprised me too o

Water
I don't go close to water at all, not even swimming pool.

timiade446:
Sending them out despite how hard the economy is 🥴

Most of them in their entire life hasn’t earned what a senator has earned in 2 months

Says who?
If only you know the corruption in our public offices in these country.
We are even talking about the ministry of Finance here

tunwumi:
This dated back to the time of GEJ when bazaar contract reigns

Bros/Sis seek for sense and wisdom so you don't keep disgracing yourself on a public forum here.
There's no where it is stated there that it was during Gej's time, in fact what's stated is that the payment starts from 2021.
Get sense

franchasofficia:
Lol, my Hausa-Fulani friend said ever since they heard that a Yoruba man Tinubu declared war against Niger coupists, that they are still laughing till now, Yoruba man declared war ke, what an oxymoron, abeg make we go do some owambe jareh, sope otilo

How exactly is this related to the topic on this thread?
Spits on your tribalistic head.
Oponu arindin.

The Op is funny o
Why would you be asking me how much I earn?
How exactly is that your business?
You don't want to bring anything to the table but you want to know how much I am earning?
Madness taken too far

Nbote:
Zenith already increased by 100%

No Sir, zenith increased but not by that percentage you wrote up there.

Treasure17:
Nice one. Zenith bank left the group chat.

Zenith Bank also increased their salary this month (both contract and core staff)
I think contract staff in zenith now earn 180k or so.

Only train, really wish to experience train trip.
For Airplane, I use that at least 14 times a year (round trip) due to the nature of my job.

I know I will get to have the train experience very soon.

Interactive34:
Economy or business class ?

Economy

The increased in Air tickets is crazy o, paid 66k for Lagos to Abuja yesterday and this was because I booked 4 days before, the lady that sat closed to me said she bought hers for 98k on Monday.
Arik Air o

flokii:
Lagosians are suffocating.. please decongest Lagos and move out all port activities to places like Calabar, Warri, Onne and likes. Easterners should be persuaded to return home to develop their region as SW is collapsing due to overpopulation from people who have no business being in SW.

I 100% support this your comment, Lagos needs to be decongested and one of the way to do this is by moving ports to this places you mentioned.

The lady is a big time liar claiming she never knew who Davido was or never knew he was 'married'

Davido taking over the reign from 2baba.
Shameless

Biola67:
How bike guys take be biggest boy. Go buy Bajaj na . Make you stay junction. Abi you no wan be biggest boy??

This your advice dey make me laugh here ooo

Na true you talk sha, I read some comments here and I just laugh.

So shameful that this man is still walking freely in this country, he should be cooling somewhere in Kuje.

Appeal to the president to open the borders and we need to put those money sucking refineries up for sale.
No need wasting resources on them in the name of maintenance or whatever.

DataCrab:
My brothers and sisters, in what ever you do in this life, avoid sportybet virtual games. Anything that in computer generated gambling, avoid it. If I ever near Sporty Hero in my life again, make I die!!!!! 90% of my bank account gone in under 1Hr, Ohh God, this world is not my home..

Your account don enter red abi?
If you like, go back to it or anything bet at all

@Op,
Just kill this rubbish you're doing here, it is the turn of an Esan man to rule Edo State.

Unfortunately we have so many wingers on our books now that we can't afford to bring him back home to start seating on the bench again.

lhordspy:
Very nice.

The era of government agencies behaving anyhow, unprincipled and sordidly are over. We now have a proactive government, who is anything but nonchalant nor 'deaf', that can take control and will take control of the country.

The days of unchecked bad policies, unruly behaviours from governmental organisations and agencies are over.

Let it be known, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is incharge not 'deciding-cabal.'

So you knew the person we had there before acted 'deaf' when we needed him most, yet you were part of his supporter.

Make una dey fear God o
