agarawu23:
all you are advertising is for us to know you don't live in Nigeria, your post and dp says it all

what's the dumbest lie your ex told u? you are narrating your america to China story no be only u live abroad

op, the dumbest lie is "I can't do without you"

i have been scratching my head for 15mins thinking on how to reply to this...... so, however my post (or my dp) may have offended you, pls accept my apologies sir.

opeyemmmy:
The N800 change was from the other shopkeeper, so it won't form part of his loss...

if he has to repay it, is that not a loss? remember he got this money because he thought it was real, while it wasnt.

opeyemmmy:
N1000 loss, the fake note he had to replace.

so the other shopkeeper gave him FREE money (₦1000)?! ahahahah

islandmoon:
that's not correct either, the business was normal until 1000 was torn, and thats the same 1000 being replaced..
we need some gurus here, i think the shopkeeper only lost 1000
cc:lalastical, seun, we need answer to this, help us move it to front page, this is a good interview question

bro this issue is so simple, the reason you are not getting it right is because you think the fake money had no value, while it has because the shopkeeper gave the change to the thief....all what the thief took for free is a loss (₦200 shoes+₦800change) and all what shopkeeper had to pay to John is a loss too because it was from fake money (₦1000)....... that's a total of ₦2000, but since the shopkeeper has ₦200 left from the money John lent him, you have to take it out of his loss. so, thats ₦2000 loss - ₦200 gain, therefore Total loss =₦1800

Mynd44:
He lost 800 naira to the thief and lost 1000 naira due to the counterfeit money.
If he did not go to John to break the money down, he would have only lost 800 naira

no, if he did not go to John he would have still lost ₦1000 (₦200 shoes + ₦800 change)
the reason why everyone is mistaking here is because he did not pay back ₦1000 to John, he only paid ₦800 back to John, and gave him the ₦200 left from the initial money.

@OP
next time you ask such question, make sure you ask for the education level of all the people that answered, so we have an idea how smart Nigerians really are.

Mynd44:
You are not considering that our store keeper also lost a shoe worth 200 Naira to the thief meaning the thief got 1,000 for her thievry

John gave ₦1000 and received ₦1000
Shopkeeper gave ₦800 cash + ₦200 shoes + ₦1000 (repayment John) = ₦2000 ....... but he has ₦200 (money he kept from the 1st ₦1000) so ₦2000 - ₦200= ₦1800 loss

Mynd44:
1. He made a deal: He gave out change worth 800 and shoe worth 200 which was the initial deal at at this point all was right.
2. John came back to return the money which the store keeper gave him which means the store keeper gave out another 1,000 naira. Still if the money was just damaged and not counterfeit, all is still okay
So those are the stages for the normal situation.
Now when the money is counterfeit.
The store owner lost 800 naira in cash and a shoe worth 200 naira which is one thousand. If he did not go to John for change, he could have called it a theft and lost only 1,000 when he had to destroy the 1,000 note.
But he had to replace the money he had given to John and got nothing in return (the 1,000 was counterfeit) so he got zilch from that too.
This means that our store keeper lost 2,000 naira in total as he lost 800 in cash and 200 in goods (shoe) to the customer and also lost another 1,000 when he had to replace the money he gave to John which brings the total loss to 2,000
I might be very wrong though

he cant keep the ₦200 from the money he 1st received from John, and also claim that he lost the shoes from the thief. if he keeps the ₦200 left from the 1st ₦1000 he got, then the shoe has been paid for, and therefore it is not a loss......so it will be ₦1000+ ₦800.

still makes it ₦1800, as i said.

@Austyn44
although you are absolutely right, you have to remember that all what you wrote demands TIME, and therefore when you spend quality time with someone, you will unknowingly, and sometimes unwillingly, fall for that person (even though they may not have all what you require/desire in a partner). women are more prone to that because they are driven by their emotions, while most of us men would use our brains to evaluate such situation/partner.

but then again, would you say that women are wrong to let their emotions take over? if you feel that you love someone, shouldnt you disregard all the red flags in order to live that "love"? are you willing to settle for less in any way? would you say no to love because your #1 to #5 was not present?

i think that, as much as your points are like the "blueprint" on how to put all the chances in your corner to possibly have a successful union, you sometimes have to accept that nobody is perfect, and a 3/5 is "manageable".

islandmoon:
the shop keeper changed the 1000 Naira into N200note X 5
He then gave the lady N800 change and use the remaining last N200 for goods bought cos the shop keeper was said to had settled the lady and she left so,i believed shop keeper didn't giver all the change made, will probably removed money for shoe bought, in that case she paid for the goods purchased because she must have received[b] N800[/b] as change.


any approach is to ask yourself, who does he lost the[b] N1800[/b] to?
he took N1000 from the John and he only gave him N1000

no bro, the shopkeeker lost a pair of shoes ₦200 + ₦800 change he gave the thief + ₦1000 he repaid the other shopkeeper (-₦200 from the money he kept from 1st ₦1000 he got = ₦800).

the thief didnt pay for ANYTHING since her money was fake.
the confusing part here is the ₦200 that he kept out of the ₦1000 (5x₦200) he received from the shopkeeper.

the shopkeeper lost ₦1800 in this mess.....
₦200 for the shoes that was bought with the fake note
₦800 for the change given to the thief
₦800 that was repaid to the other shopkeeper (+₦200 given to him makes ₦1000)

i use to date/fukc this Chinese gal for a few months back in Beijing, and one day i found out she put some add/profile on some site for single people looking for partners. I created a fake profile named "Chris", and contacted her. bullshitted her that i was an American coming to Beijing for business, looking for a gal to take out for heavy shopping and then take her back to my hotel for sex..... and that biatch agreed. so i said ok let's meet on thursday evening (knowing that she was suppose to meet me "Jay" that thursday), and she also agreed. then on the faithful day, she called me (Jay) and told me that she cant make it on our date because she had a late shift at the hospital or some BS like that. i said ok, then few hrs later i contacted her as "Chris" and told her that i couldnt make it because of some important meeting, and we had to reschedule...... and lo and behold, 10mins later that biatch called me (Jay) to tell me that she found someone to replace her at work and that we could finally meet. i told her to come to my place, and when she arrived i sat her down and ask her this simple question:"do you have something you want to tell me?" that gal said NO, that she loved me bla bla bla. so, after i realised she would never confess, i told her that i had a friend named Chris who was in town and he told me he was about to fukc her. she screamed that it was not her and that she could never do that, begging me to believe her that she loved me to death bla bla bla. i then open my computer and showed her the profile and told her it was me, and that i created it just to catch her. the gal started crying heavy crocodile tears, saying she was sorry and that she will "do anything for me to forgive her"..... the rest of the story is PG18 lol, but that was the last time i ever saw her.

Eze2000:
I'm a 35 yr old man also looking for my dream woman for immediate marriage. I'm desperate but careful in my search so I have looking for 4 yes now.
I've discovered 2 things. one a dream partner doesn't come ready made like we dream it, and 2 no one is perfect. But the upsetting thing is every single lady wants to marry a rich and handsome man even with so much poverty and hardship so commonplace. Funnily these rich guys and their families want to marry a lady of their own class meanwhile the guys are busy sleeping with and lying to all the other girls who want them..... consequently the 'leftover old cargos'.
An intelligent hard-working man with God's blessings and a loving supportive wife can become rich tomorrow and a rich man with all d world poor overnight.....a wise girl should bear this in mind and seek a man who will love and cherish her.
(Tall, big in build (tall), full figured and gentle natured and religious) if there exists any lady with these qualities, plus wisdom and a reasonable heart, ready for marriage then would I like to know her.

bro, the reason you dont find any woman is because of your profession....aint you a struggling "prophet"?

sinizia:
Same thing. When i notice they are replying the one-sided "okay", "fine", "yes" etc., i try this your method. Talk a lil' about me, my ambition, my family, my hobbies etc. But when you ask her to say hers, she goes; "I'm busy" or "not now".

It's not all of them though, that's why i used "MANY" of them. But the majority that falls in these group are usually the unlettered ones.

after talking a bit about yourself, if you ask someone "what about you?" and she replies " i am busy" or "not now" thats the time for you to leave/drop. you win some you lose some, no biggie!

ayayo:
It is so sad. But the baby may be dead before dumping it. She may not know how to go about discarding it appropriately.

do you really think a "loving/caring" mother would throw her baby under a bridge in a plastic bag?!

sadly the OP believes that everyone marry for the same thing....and thats where he is wrong. here are a few clues:
- some people out there would marry and be happy with just about anyone if it has money.
- many men out there are ready to marry any girl that says she is pregnant for them.
- some people out there would marry just about anyone (yes even a donkey) if some stoopid pastor tells them that this person is the RIGHT one.
- some people out there only desire a trophy partner, therefore these people would marry for beauty (and there would be nothing wrong with that)
- some people out there are desperate to get married due to their age. they waited so long and dismiss so many people in their youth, and now they are "ready" to lower their expectations just in order to not become old cargos...... they would be happy with just about anyone who gives them the time of day.

its all down to each and everyone's PRIORITIES..... if someone wants to marry because their partner cook good or because the fukc you good etc, then so be it.

if this happens on often then OF COURSE there must be something wrong with that woman.

when we keep telling people that abortion is the key, many will now say some rubbish........ what goes through a woman's mind that she will go through a baby delivery, and then throw that live baby under a bridge. imagine the fukc up that must go through her mind. she should have aborted in the first 90days of her pregnancy when she had the chance.

who is that mad person who once wrote that all mothers love their children, nonsense!

eddycolo:
If 1=4

Why won't
4=1

funny how so many didnt get it, of course it´s 1

harmless deed....what are these low self esteem guys say afterwards? dont touch a man, dont talk to a man, dont look at a man etc

Brandnew2:
Whoever eats 7 times a day.

lol that is also what baffles me here.

donbenedict:
Men see it as a means of ownership... They go like, "afterall I paid her bride price" I can do anythn I want wit her.. Things like that.. Now wat if it was turned the other way round?
Women payin d groom price? Especialy in countries like india.

Would it change anythn? Would it make the man to be answering the wife's surname? Do u think dowry has any effect on who is the "man" of the house?

Let's read ur opinions
Cutehector

if you pay for a car, do you own it? if you pay for a house, do you own it? when you pay for a phone, do you own it?
why should it be any different with a woman who price herself?
if it was the opposite then it wouldnt fix the problem because it would always put someone above the other.

Ama80:
Why do I hav Ds feeling dat there is something fishy abt her pregnancy and purported child birth.Anyways,nothing is hidden permanently under d sun.my opinion.

someone even said it was twins and that she was something like 7 months.... lol! she may be trying to pull a Beyonce on the world!

send a hi/hello/whats up once or twice and if this stranger does not reply then let go of this confused lady.

as someone said, you can have all the best qualities that MR A requires but if you are married to MR B then its pointless. compatibility and understanding before anything is the key.

Jackeeh:
No try am oh. She may poison you n the new madam.

you are probably right.......

upgrade the housegirl to wifey position and downgrade wifey to househelp....so she can learn a thing or two!

issues of having babies etc would/should have been discussed before marriage....if she said yes before and now come up with this cokc and bull story then i would have to reconsider the union (especially if children was important to me).

as for the story, oh well, marrying a 9ja gal, you would have a big chance that she was either almost ra.ped OR ra.ped sometime in her life.

sinizia:
Many of the Nigerian ladies will reply your "what's up" with "K" "Okay" "KK".. The kindhearted ones will reply "fine" without "and you?" Very boring chat-mates.

and then you have to try to make her converse/share/talk..... you talk a little about yourself then ask her a question so she can share a bit about her (ask questions that cant be answered by a YES or NO).

PAINGAIN:
let me help that guy cus I also live in joburg. First and foremost d xenophobia attacks happened in places they call locations/townships or basically slums. Nigerians don't live in those slums no matter how koboless they r bcus that's where the worst of the worst in SA live. Some of these slums r pretty close to d highbrow areas. Zimbabweans,malawians stay in those kind of places. FYI those slums r like 5percent of joburg and these attacks on foreigners always happen in such places. Coming to d issue of nigerians and drugs, yes nigerians r seen as drug dealers but if u r not dealing on drugs then u have nothing to worry about, no one will discrimate against u. Eg, I sell cars, I go to auctions or places they sell accident damage cars, I buy one or two cars, fix them up and sell them. Sometimes in a month I sell upto 4 to 5 cars. A lot of nigerians,cameroonians r into that business too. I also do interpretation in law courts here in SA. Basically I am working for d government in a job that no south african can do. There r a lot of nigerians here doing real business, some r realtors, some r into importation,some have restaurants, some run night clubs, some have bottle shops, some r mechanics(if u r a mechanic come to SA,it pays). Bottomline is, if u r not into drugs bizness and u have ur permit, u have absolutely nothing to worry about.

at last, yeah i have heard about this God forsaken place called Highbrow. but ALL countries around the world have such places. so you mean to say, Nigerians that are desperate or ended up in the streets in SA dont even dream of going to live there?!

AmiLaHoit:
Seconded.
Tell her and be straight not emotional about it.

But MRBrown o o , what if the woman no free add money?
For me, OP should remain in the security job if ah doesn't agree. Kindness won't pay his bills but money will. GOD guides HIS own.
OP, pray always!!

exactly, if she cant add to the 15K he is already making, then he should stay put at the security job.
