sparkle Red: Kelvin u jump reach d level wey u dey nw abi? Btw i miss those arrow bois ooh..cnt wait 4 dem 2 resume, am sure some of dem re on NL

it is "aro" not "arrow"

i used to be a member of the ABN (Aro Broadcasting Network) at Hall 3, Block B. this was 2002. good old days mehn.

Uniben, i wan mad o.

Elizabethoni: No mind d aprokos..na lie o,dem no fit cook,I'm not his wife,he shld come to my house if he wants to test my culinary skills...bla bla bla...na dem go dey tell d guy,"y don't u let me cook rather than eating out today...it would save us money u know"...

Nobody holy pass oh...a<b>s a matter of fact,a guy that doesn't find it interesting for his gf to cook for him is still a baby and not ready for commitment...</b>not all men like food but real men enjoy home-made food and respect a woman that can cook perfectly!

My Man loved me more the first time I cooked for him and still tells me how much he loved it,he still doesn't eat out and compliments my cooking... we've been married for over 2yrs...

the bolded is sometimes true too sha

no rule fits all. depends on the parties involved.

personally, I prefer she doesnt cook for me @ my house. if i visit her, she cooks for me. if she visits me, i cook (or buy take-away) for her.

but if she wants it and insists then i have no prob allowing her.

ogugua88: My mother and I had this discussion just yesterday. I showed her a picture of a guy that was trying to get close to my sister and I. Her response? "Some guys don't date within their caliber." I was telling her, if I were a man, I'd evaluate myself inside and out and toast accordingly, for the girl I want should have no reason to reject me. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the guys who bash Naija women in this section are the lacking guys going for Kim Ks.

I've always wanted to open a thread for women to share their toasting experiences (but I haven't because I already know the result of such a thread). The kind of offers some of us get are ridiculous, and we're still made out to be witches. If I tell you I was asked out on a date by a homeless man at a train station, who would believe me? Yet it's true lol.

That's always been my motto anyway. If you want the best, then be the best and attract the best. A guy who is seriously trying to get a woman should give her no reason to say no. You don't have to be wealthy or even handsome. Just carry yourself well. If you're lacking in some areas, then make up for it elsewhere. You're not handsome? Then be compassionate. You don't have a job? Then put your skills to work and tell her your plans. No man or woman is without a flaw. Any man who puts his best foot forward can get the woman he desires. After all his attempts, if she says no, then the man isn't the problem.

Your post is a breath of fresh air, DN. Well done.

i was about to disagree with you until I saw the bolded. My take is every poor man has a right to desire a hot KimK as every poor or ugly girl has the right to desire a Psquare or a Dangote. To each his own. The issue is when you castigate the other party for not accepting your advances.

"She is materialistic" - Yes, that is what she considers as value to her. You wey want hot babe, aren't you vain?
"He thinks he can get any girl because of his money" - dont you think you can get anything cos of ur stunning looks too


but seriously, there are guys who consider kimK to have little value. the hot body is not all there is.
also there are babes who dont consider a guy's wealth as "condierable value" he brings to the party.

You might find another post I made earlier helpful.

Note a major difference between Roman Catholics and others --- others even including Eastern Orthodox. These others believe that the Apocrypha is not part of the canon even though its books can be useful secondarily. On the other hand Roman Catholics say anyone that does not accept the Apocrypha as part of the canon is ---- anathema! (Roman Catholics too like to dey swear for people, I tell you!)

So, here is that one I made earlier .........

1. Jerome ('church father'), Gregory ('pope'), Cajetan ('cardinal') --- all Roman Catholics; all major Roman Catholics (all speaking before the Roman Catholics finally set their own canon) ---- all AGREE with the so-called "Protestants" about the books of the canon!

2. To clarify further, the King James version (originally and for a long time and still in some editions) took the same approach as Jerome, Gregory I, Cajetan as well as Athanasius that the books of the Apocrypha are not in the canon but can be useful in a secondary role. Thus the KJV used to include the Apocrypha but place them in a different part to mark their distinction from the main canonical books.

A further note of interest, even today, there are still "protestants" who use books of the Apocrypha in this secondary role.

The Roman Catholics like to muddy the waters, throw confusion and hope people will not notice their lies if they are not familiar with or clear on the history and development of the canon (or even canons) of the Bible.

in terms of your arguments on the canon, it seems like you know your history (more than me a catholic sef). The aprocrypha is called "deuterocanonical" by the catholic church for a reason: "deuterocanonical" means "the second canon".

protestants and hebrews consider them "apocrypha"

bros,

i am a catholic but let me help your argument:
whether the catholics added extra books to the bible is irrelevant as Catholics are not "sola scriptural". For the catholic church, the scripture is one of three sources of doctrine. so even if "we/they" did not add to the bible "we/they" will still do things that are outside the bible as doctrinal.

it would be better for you to focus energies on why the catholic church take/use sources of doctrine outside the bible.

justi4jesu: This is stale news, previously bbm contacts could only be restored using blackberry desktop software but its now very easy with the unique Blackberry ID, once you get the bbm downloaded on your Android, log in your unique BBID and all your contacts plus recent chats automatically comes into your new pin.

my scenario is different. I want to have the contacts on both devices (my existing blackberry and the new BBM on my galaxy note . i created a seperate blackberry ID on the Note 8. How do I transfer/invite contacts on the existing blackberry to the new BBM on Note 8

I read somewhere, that initially, love is never a mutual feeling, the second party will grow to love you when you let them know you love them.

So when you love somebody and they don't love you (just yet) ensure the love you have for them is enough to sustain both of you until they learn/grow to love you. Often, when you become their friends, the feeling changes from love to like. Then you would be glad, that you never make the mistake of asking them out on a date.

NB: Don't take my comment too serious, I've never love someone, other than my family members.

usually they never love you back. even worse if you are a guy

Goldieluks: to me ,men who spend their time,playing video games are nothing,but broke a ss,silly brain losers.

lol. r u for real !!!

the responsible thing is to sue for battery/physical harassment or call the police.

you have no right to hit someone despite the provocation

every week or sometimes twice/thrice a week

[quote author=Olu'tokun]The only situation close to an exception is if the guy's life is really threatened and there's nowhere to retreat to for cover. Even then, the man should only make moves to protect himself and/or to disarm her (if she's carrying a weapon). Women are not meant to be hit...no matter how nasty they get![/quote]the same rule should apply even if it is a man you are fighting. you first instinct should always be self defence.

remember physical strength is not a function of gender this days. many women are physically stronger than some men.

Nashville: Unfortunately, I have nothing to share but an advice to young people still dating.

Dont be blinded by love, money, sway etc. Background is very important. Most abusive men come from abusive homes. The first marriage we all know and see is our parents and the way our parents conduct themselves in marriage would have a strong influence in how we conduct ourselves in marriage. We are their offspring. So young people should research family background before saying "I do". He might be sounding all romantic and all that. But the day you offend him after marriage, all he will remember is how his dad beat the hell out of his mum for the same offense some years back. Then he begins to ask himself why he should not do the same to you.

My advice also goes to guys. Abuse no get gender. Some girls go about verbally abusing their husbands because that was what they also saw. And some even go physical. Shine ya eye before marriage, because after marriage na prayer remain o!

very true about the background thing. all these love nd romantic stuffs sometimes blinds U from his real person. Until you see the way people handle emotions like anger, frustration, excitement etc. U know almost nothing about them

Fhemmmy: You are one in few Nigerians . . . Keep it up

thanks Fhemmy.

but i want to know hw bad this mileage is and if i can still manage it as is.

also what shld be the cost this car. just to know if i bough at a very high premium

BizBooks: I have looked at the VIN report you forwarded to me and wish to add the following:

1. The vehicle is a 2007 not 2008 model. It says so on the VIN report. You can also tell
by the number 7 which appears at the 10th position of the VIN: 4T1BK46K97U012245

2. It passed emission and safety inspection each year it was tested which is a good thing.

3. It is a one owner car which is also a good thing.

4. It was used in Texas which explains the very high mileage. Texas is a very big state and
getting from one end to the other takes hours. The owner was driving an average of 30,000
miles a year which indicates that his place of work is far from his home. The US average is
about 15,000 miles a year.

Would you have bought this car at the price you did if you had known all these facts? I don't
think so. Next time, do a VIN check before buying no matter how clean the car looks.

i def wouldnt. my loss. thanks for the education. i guess i will be smarter next time

calculusx: One quick question and pls give the whole house a sincere and honest answer. In as much as I do not support odometer roll-back,would you have purchase the Car with original mileage of 180,000 even if he is selling it for N2.5m? Pls be sincere with your answer.

i would def not have. i would have rather preferred a lower mileage car and pay more.

what i want to knw is hw bad this mileage is and if i have bought this car @ a high premium

d most entertaining part of this thread is not OPs "seeming" revelations. it is obvious that there are some generalisations and bias to appeal to guys.

D real revelation is the reaction of the girls (ladies, women watever) to OPs posts.

why on earth do You ladies think it is an accusation? how do you know OP is not a Man sef.

My conclusion using this small sample space is dat some ladies are extremely sensitive about their perception and the perception of their gender.

rigormortis: WORD!

Mr. Nyc guy! babes go like U for supporting them

[quote author=Mrs.Chima]Intelligent men knows not all girls think or behave the same.

No girl is a representation of all whether good or bad.

No matter how much a fool think something is true for one gender won't change the facts.

If you boys believe that all girls are the same as OP have stated...you should thank your mothers she was easy and didn't use a coat hanger.

That's fact.[/quote]OP didnt even say all girls are the same. @ least she got more than five diff categories.

why una just dey paranoid. If you are different/unique, relax or ignore.

AmBeautiful: Well, all i can say about this thread is :

1. The op should be between the ages of 22 and below
2. The post is meant for guys who are either within the age range of 26 and below, or who still have some growing ups to do!
3. Any guy who actually believes this post is on a long thing and will definitely get lost someday.
4. ASUU had better (not back out from negotiations with the FG but) call off the strike, so that students can return back to school.

dont take OP's post personal jor. if u can't find ur category, relax rather than doing the same thing you people accuse OP of doing: "GENERALIZATION"

alutacontinua: don't ever mention my name again...
as for op, her title settles it all...she clearly stated 'GIRLS' not 'WOMEN' or 'LADIES', so, i ain't got any thing to discuss with her.

c'est la meme chose

Fkforyou: @Daily news,all ur questions might not have answers in dis life but u can try getting ur answers mayb in d next life,just leave women d way they are,I love them just the way they are...."COMPLEX".....The best gift given to man by God is Woman...

Comot for there sharp guy. you want to appeal to the other females on nairaland.

i see some extrapolations there but a good number of girls i have studied from afar and have discussed their relationships wif me can be put in one (or a combination of) of box(es).

the problem is Op accentuates the bad boxes even though there are some good boxes she mentioned.

Siena: I agree. It's just one the many pointers to the fact, lots of posters don't read through previous responses, because they're simply lazy. Typing "VIN check" into Google or similar will bring up various answers.

It's nice to render help when it's needed, but those that ask certain questions need to help themselves too, by exhausting as many avenues as possible, before asking. Or by using the "search" function. If they've got a question to ask, it's very likely the same question has been asked AND answered at least 30 times. Often those that give helpful responses have to search online too, just to help a brother or sister out. Something they themselves can do, without waiting to be spoonfed.

Often if a question's directed at me, and I don't answer on time, I get accused of being "ignorant." There's actually one such query on here right now, where the poster feels I haven't responded "on time."

Annoying!

master when ur workshop dey come naija na. we are fed up with poorly-trained naija mechanics. Do you have anyone you can recommend here in lagos?

forgive us for being ignorant.

un fortunately, i had alreadyb bought it before checking the VIN

Hello Guys,

good and educative responese.
I have a question: is a Toyota Camry 2008 v6 XLE @ true mileage of 180,000 a good buy @ N2.7m?

dealer reported mileage as 85,000 but a VIN check reported as about 180,000

is the Odometer reading in Miles or km?
