Sure. Dignity in labour thingy is real.

Sometimes people use labour as a means of weight reduction. Heard of that?

Yes I have. It works for me sometimes though.

Hope you slept well

proffemi:
Yes mummy

Ok daddy. Well done

justtoodark:
exactly...me i tell the truth straight forward...then she can calculate herself what i can afford or not...

you are right....i wouldnt go to a fancy restaurant with her anyways...

Exactly! That's the way it should be

proffemi:
Guys no longer know when to hide their faces in shame.

If you want to be the alpha in a relationship (most guys do), act it.
If you take someone out on a date, pay the bills. Your date should be decent enough not to pig out, but if she does, make a mental note, and don't take her out next time. In any case, act the alpha. Alpha men are gentlemen. If you're okay haggling over bills with a woman, then you really aren't an alpha. Don't come sobbing if she disrespects you.

Don't take a date to an expensive eatery and hope she will restrain herself. Don't hide broke-azz status behind fake indignation. Don't give gentlemen a bad name, and for the love of God, if you do all the above, don't crow about it online!!!

God Bless you. But this post will really make sense if you are a man. Are you?

Both of them are wrong. Initially I wanted to blame the guy more cos I thought he took her to a fancy restaurant. But I realised his bill is just under 4k as against almost 12k of the girl's. Which means, it's not a fancy restaurant. It could be a regular fast food. Now I wonder, what on earth was the girl ordering for to amount to 11,800? . Two plates each of all the food items they have on display? This is where I blame the girl. She was greedy.

On the other hand, he may have taken her to a fancy restaurant that charges 4k for a side dish and water only. You know that kind restaurant na. And the girl may have ordered for normal food but in an expensive restaurant. I don't blame her here. I blame the guy here for taking her to such a restaurant and expecting her to buy water alone. Dude probably was trying to impress the girl (a lot do) and yet he was the first to cry foul.

It's still possible the girl had more money than what she let on. She was just trying to let the guy know that it's his responsibility to pay for a date if there's no prior agreement to split the bill. That was why she asked that question that sounded rude to the guy. But guy wait, were you expecting her to smile at you when you told her to pay? Mbanu!

But this is where the girl spoilt the show and belittled herself. She had to beg & apologised to the guy probably to get him to come back and pay. After walking out on you cos of money and embarrassing you. It really means that she was broke or stingy. All she would have done was to pay the money, eat her food and walk out with her head held high. But alas! She either didn't have the money or she didn't want to spend it. Which is bad!.

Moral of this long talk: let's try to respect ourselves as ladies and stop the embarrassment biko. No need to show us how hungry your ancestors are & how uncultured and insensitive you can be. You should be wise enough to know who your date is & what he's capable of doing.

Finally, ladies, never ever leave the house to a date without your own money. The reason is not to rub it in the guy's face or form rich woman. It's just to save yourself from embarrass situations that may arise.

Good though. Work is responsibility and time-consuming.

Exactly! Very very. But we gotta work, right?

kimbraa:
Then it's not a stable channel since the show is done once yearly. TV channels run 'till the company winds up.

Yeah. It's not stable. I agree with you.

AlanSugar:
Hahahaha, sweet you re "goodest"...., wish I could see ur foto.

Anyways, at this point I'll have to rest my case re the dependent beggars, I suppose what they get is what is rightly due them! As for the show guys, my two left legs no de dia oo, men and show off are like... (epp me pls!), especially those from the "yeastern" part of the country (hope I'm not insulting ur tribe, lolz but truth be told sha). Thanks for making me realise that not all babes are dbs! I twale for you dear (L.u.a!)

A very lovely morning to you ma'am.

Everybody can't possibly be the same sir

What's dbs please?
Good evening

Dinner is served.
Boiled white rice and piping hot catfish pepper soup.

JewelStone:
Lunch & dinner

Sumptuous!

Nice plates & food setting too.

IamD18:
Ronaldo's fan have your BANK in mind, but not yet ready to join due to some stressful reasons , why not give him the privilege to familiarize with the manager

I know Ronaldo's fan.

You know Fidelity. They keep their word
I want to assure you that once you indicate interest in our BANK, we keep our word.
All you need is bear with us and understand us

kimbraa:
Last time I checked, it's a Live show aired by different channels including AfricaMagic. Had no idea it's a channel.

I thought so too until I saw it myself. In fact, I wanted to go take a snapshot of it and show you but I think they have removed it now the show is over cos I couldn't find it again

XingXhang:
Make time? What's your course in the university?

I'm not a student.

AlanSugar:
You're spot on, thanks for the update. I agree with you 101% but you have to understand that guys and show are like 10&11. Don't believe? Ask Davido or what is his name sef! All I was saying is that you should/could/can/must (lolz) speak to those dependent beggars in hopes they'll realise they still have some self pride to dare a gift horse. Pls don't be confused, we are right on the same page! "Gooder" evening ma'am!

Ok. Glad to know.

Speaking to them? Some of those around me that I roll with believe men are to be dealt with. And you deal with them better when you eat their money & discard them. Others do it to supplement what their main boo give them. These ones are just there for the money. There may be other reasons but these are the ones I have heard. But the most important thing is that they won't listen to you. In fact, they will end up mocking you for not doing that.
So, my talk won't do anything.

Also talk to your guys to reduce their weaknesses

"Goodest" evening.

XingXhang:
Wow, what's keeping you? A new church? Campus church?

Just time
Though I'm trying to make out time for that & others.

kimbraa:
Is BBNAIJA a TV station? See as you goof.

Yes it is.

1) National Geographic channels
2) Discovery channels
3) Comedy Central


Then Nikelodeon, E! entertainment, Africa Magic( Urban, Showcase & Igbo), Sony Max & Sony Entertainment & Mnet channels.

Let's be realistic here. AG is a very strict & disciplined Church. It's almost just like Deeper Life, Mountain of Fire, etc. Now, I don't blame the Pastor for what he did. The would-be couple knew the Church's Law before agreeing to be wedded there. Why then did they flaunt that rule? And to make matters worse, they kept that one month pregnancy a secret.

In fact; in some Churches, you would be required to do a pregnancy test that morning before you are joined together. I remember one I was one of the bridesmaids. The wedding didn't start until the pregnancy result came out. That was an Anglican Church.

Another one was in a Redeemed Church. That was the original venue for the wedding. But alas, on tge eve of the wedding day, we received word that the wedding has been shifted to another Church. I put two & two together and concluded that pregnancy was involved.

If there are no rules in Church for things like this, we shouldn't wonder much what would be happening therein.

XingXhang:
You're most welcome.

So what song are singing tomorrow?

I haven't joined the choir in my Church here yet.

IamD18:
Yea, I don't forget easily

I'm vexed You are not treating your client well

Good you don't.

Oh! But you are sadly mistaken sir. Once you make up your mind to join our BANK, you will be left satisfied & you will be glad you BANKED with us..

XingXhang:
You sound 'sound'

Hmmmmm...really?
Thanks anyway

cassyrooy:
Okay.

Yes o I wanted Liverpool knocked out(they pose a threat to Madrid) in this round, AS Roma would have been an easier meat to tear, having Salah, Mane and Firmino against Madrid will be though. But I'm still standing tall with Madrid(both Madrid in UCL and UEL finals respectively,) on this too.

Thanks. Enjoy your weekend.

They are an amazing band, Chris Martin is their lead singer, I've been 'highing' on their 'X & Y' album(to me, it's the greatest British album), I recommend you listen to that album.

Oh really? Well, not to worry. I stand with you too. Madrid all the way!

I will try and listen to the band.
Have a great weekend

XingXhang:
Lol, single?

Yeah

AlanSugar:
OK dear Joy, that's good to know. With this I sincerely believe you're not the docile dependent hanger on! Lolz. But your lectures should not be directed at the baby guys who act sheepishly cus of unexpected wealth but rather, Channel your vested energy cum knowledge toward the less privileged within your peer group. This is how healthy societies grow. I've done my bit. Good morning.

Oh but I'm confused now. What I wrote up there was like re-echoing/affirming what you said too. I hardly do one-sided arguments. I try as much as possible to balance opinions. We aren't throwing blames here. I never overlooked our role in the said situation. In fact, if you go through my posts, you will discover that I don't hide my disgust at the way some ladies shamelessly beg for money from guys.
But truth be told, it'd be easier for guys to try to make it work because you are the ones bringing out the money than for these ladies to stop begging cos trust me, they never will.

Good evening.

AlanSugar:
Like seriously, @find a virgin to get married to? Where will he find one? It's like asking a 40yr old (which he'll be by the time he's ready to settle down) to look for a 12yr old virgin to marry and that can't happen in the Christian world. Babes may be considered useless, may actually be useless cus theirs is all about the money but everyone wants to catch fun where konji is concerned. Have you considered that if the guys stopped flaunting wealth for sex, the docile women would wear sense naturally? To whom wealth is given, responsibility is also expected, my 2 cents.

I have been trying to tell them this since. There was a thread like 2 weeks ago or so where a British OAP said he was tired of dating dependent ladies. I told them there that guys are at fault for promoting whatever it is they are doing that makes ladies latch unto them and their finances so much. The funny thing is, we only get to hear about guys and their spending or should I say "wasting of money" cos they spend on the wrong ladies.

IamD18:
Lol, I'm very bad at forgetting

Maybe social management skills will be a nice idea to get the Atm pin if the manager receives the mail

Yeah. Means you don't forget right? Good

The mail will definitely be received by the Manager & also honoured when the time for the account opening comes.

cassyrooy:
It did seem so but no, I only consider it, not what I actually want to do. Also, not getting married only happens when I've seriously lost my interest in the institution, but with or without it, I'll still want to have kids.


Only saw the first 45mins, not an interesting game I'll tell you, Liverpool scoring first just ended the tie, was expecting to see a stronger performance from AS Roma, but over the two legged tie, they've been rather shambolic.

Sorry about that, this week will bring better tidings for you, and happy new month dear.

Hoping Liverpool make the final an interesting one though, 'cos Madrid really want to save some face come Kiev2018 finale.

You listen to Coldplay?

Ok...I think I understand you now.

A lot of people said the same thing. I didn't watch at all. Was only following live updates here.
It seems you are disappointed AC Roma lost..Yeah well, I hope Madrid wins in the finals in Ukraine. Definitely rooting for my boy.

Amen to your Prayer. Happy new month to you too dearie.

Coldplay? Never heard of it/her/him/them

Angelfrost:
Nah. It's basic English. This is the essence of Brighter Grammar, and proper/thorough English Language teaching and tutoring.

Is it really?
Ok. If you say so.

donstan18:
Lol, if you insist

Lol I needn't date reminder to know when Cr7 fan will be going to ARAB to open the account, once he's ready, he'll let me remind my bank madam.

With that said; The contractor is still interested in using the ATM pin for easy access and creation of familiarity before the work commences, will madam see to it

Good you won't forget.

But you know that Bank managers don't give out ATMS to people by Proxy. They have to collect it personally or at least apply for it when it's certain they need it.

cassyrooy:
I meant, having kids without being married might be the way to go, I dread 'an empty shell marriage.'

That's why I still believe in it.

Hope your weekend is going great?

No...your first paragraph negates and contradicts the second one. Don't you think?

My weekend was hectic!!!!Are you watching the match?

XingXhang:
Okay. Meaning you are?

I really don't understand please.

Nobody remembered pairing "did & the past tense" together. A lot of people make that mistake too.
*Did you ate the food?
*I didn't saw you last night.

What about interchanging has/have & also using any other form of tense other than the past participle?
*She have go (glorified private school students say this a lot)
*He have ate his food.

Truth be told, English Language could be annoyingly hard!
