Ujujoan:
I don’t expect a guy to treat me badly just because he’s rich. I like rich guys, yes, but that doesn’t mean I’m a gold digger, or I’m extravagant. Infact it’s quite the opposite. I live a very simple life and I can adjust properly to scarce resources. But I don’t want to.

So what do you need a rich guy for?- to show-off? A rich guy might eventually treat you badly if he thinks you love the money so brace up.

Ujujoan:
I’m not very rich, but I’m very comfortable. That’s why I don’t want to marry a guy I’m richer than. There’s nothing I want in a guy I don’t already have myself.

You don't say! Do you have a penis? I'm guessing you are 26 or thereabout and already own landed prop., cars and all that.

Ujujoan:
I know about all those prospect thing, I just don’t buy it. For me at 30 if you’ve not gotten it, your chances are low and you might just be a dreamer.

Just say you want to marry a politician's son or one young drug-dealing scum. I know of at least 2 guys that'll smash your criteria but since their foundation is based mainly on family business, their family would easily call you a gold digger and I read you don't like that!

Ujujoan:
I hate to have to give a guy a loan, give him my car to use, let him move into my house cos my apartment is better and then change the deeds of my property to our name.

I hate to have to buy my clothes cos he's not rich enough to afford the clothes I wear.

I hate to have to split the bills cos my pay check is better or even similar to his.

And above all, I hate to think he wants me for what I have to offer!!

What!?! You must be 'stinkingly rich' meenn. Hey, I think all you need now is this book titled: How to live without a Man. Problem is, it will be published in 2020 when scientists figure out how to do it.

And some people here are talking love. You'd be suprised how little love would mean in the face of suspicion and uncertainties!

I don't think most people realise that the only reason why long distance relationships are feasible at all is because modern communication tools like phones, internet and so on exists today! Thats why you can easily leave your gf/bf and say 'I'll call you'. @poster, it sucks!! If I were you I'll only try to sustain it if we've been dating before the 'distance' and that means you have to be prepared to let-go stuff like jealousy, suspicion, etc and learn to trust more. All these could be at your detriment if things don't work out but hey, no pain no gain. If you aint prepared to face pain then give your partner a 20km radius, once he/she steps out of the radar for too long then you give 'em the boot or you relegate yourselves to just friendship.
I've been there and it aint pretty.

Hey y'all, pls who knows how much it'll cost to clear a container of say 4 cars at Lagos port? Does it depend on the model year of the contents or not? Also I'll like to know how long it takes the Bill of L to arrive after paying for shipping from U.S! Thanks.

I am a Nigerian doctor working in a public hospital. I also have my own private clinic but on personal conviction I do not see patients there until4pm after official working hours.  The reason we go on strike is not only salaries but poor working  conditions. I am have been a consultant for 9 years so if I were a ministry staff I would be at least a deputy director. I dont have an office of my own, I dont have a secretary, I am expected to attend to an average of 30- 40 patients a day without gloves or soap to wash my hands at times. If I am on call I sit in my car there is no loung e for me to sit so I either stay in my car or go home. I sometimes bring my personal instruments to work with at no extra cost. ( And I am a senior doctor) . I pity my junior collegues who are just  starting out. At the end of the day I open the papers, read the internet  and see that the average nigerian thinks I am a waste of space. Personally I have decided to stay long enough to train the present set of residents (post graduate doctors ) that I met on ground then I will face full time private practice.  At least that way I determine my working conditions.

Thanks for the input. I didn't even know the situation was as grim as you painted it. Please sir do not relent in going back to your private work. . . maybe when the govt notices the dearth of specialists like you they'd make the working conditions better and the work more attractive.

@reindeer, sure thing! Jealous ikennahill may be back soon. Maybe the guy na lawyer sef and is busy plotting malpractice suits.

[quote author=A-town link=topic=310606.msg4365836#msg4365836 date=1250505099]Here is something for you to chew on. IF YOU, RICH_JOHN,  use all the Drugs and Steroids in the world, you still won't clock under 15 seconds for the 100m race.
Why not leave it to the authorities to determine if he's using enhancements.
You have to be good to do what he does. Tyson Gay on drugs can't beat that record.

Usain Bolt is the perfect 100m athlete. You know why, he has the perfect HEIGHT. His Centre of gravity coupled with his muscles makes him the perfect sprinter.
Rather than complain, the world should start looking for 6footers to start running 100m if they want to see Bolt dethroned. The days of stout men running 100m are over.[/quote]You beat me to it. I wonder why people didn't notice that Bolt's height and thus longer legs are factors to his incredible speed. Drugs ko jazz ni! If he uses drugs he'll clock 8 seconds. Whats more if he is on enhancers then it means that new rules have to be made to clamp against their use because I believe they'd be new drugs/substances.

@ rhymz, I concur with your last input, FULLY !!!It' no surprise why why 419, yahoo and yahoo plus still thrive in this country, going by the number of gullible NL we see on this thread. meanwhile,
@ the viper, we dey same boat. But you suppose slow down with your "grammer" too sha.We know she is a "lier",we can "deduct" from her post, need I go on? You know say when the thing start to pass 3, we go start to suspect that you and lady P were classmates. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.  Boy, I enjoyed this thread though. Looking forward to the next.

Chei, guy your username is sooo apt!! lol.

Nooo, fluke ke? It is just Arsenals style of scoring all their goals in one match. There are atleast 2 goal-less draws which would be a consequence of this 6-1 facade.
The only plus is they scored some from outside the box.

osasp:
true say, ive got 2 sisters that stammer heavily when they r pissed off
i wouldnt want to imagine them reading the news or something because ive noticed the more nervous they r
the more intense it is so in a work environment that involves you being in the spotlight, it can be quiet tough.

There must be something in your family making your 2 sisters stammer. Maybe your parents are too strict or too demanding. Its just a trend I've noticed.

So because she told the truth she became unfair? Well life isn't fair. Anyone that says she was unfair should have their heads examined.

Is facebook a man? I never knew o!

What stuff is she exhibiting? Except she says her weakest point is at penetration then she is a virgin until proven otherwise. Why don't you just check. I don't have to teach you how, do I?

cooljade:
THERE'S NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE,  that woman in her husband's life is smoke and tpassion ,  the fire. there's something going on btw them, i'm very sure the lady friend in question is single or if married, a very unhappy person. Let the case of prince Charles and camilla the chameleon e a lesson to all. the midnight calls to the palace, secret  letters even when both were married.

So in your opinion, Camilla was complicit in the death of Princess Di?
The lesson here if any is that your husband can have any friend but he won't replace you with that person if you don't give him any reason to or if you don't die.

Let ASUU fight till the finish now o! 1st they should publish that list of politicians with children studying abroad. It will shock y'all that the major players in this face-off have nothing to loose if the strike continues. I'm sure that punk heading the F.G team's negotiation has children studying in Paris.

@ikennahill, I throw a challenge to you and the faceless frogs commending your comments to join this thread and post all they've got and watch me reply objectively.
It is now apparent that you have a mortal hatred for Drs so the things I say to you may not mean much. You are blabbing about Ghanian Drs, do you know Houseofficers there receive at least 40,000naira more than Medical Officers in Nigeria? For your information, your precious Ghanian Drs envy Nigeria Drs because they are hard working. Have you ever wondered why Drs that leave these shores usually do better or are you blind to that fact? All those errors by Drs that you listed are not unheard of even in your precious Ghana but will be detected in a functional system. How about the pharmacist that sold a patient with CML buscopan instead of Busulfan? Or the lab guy that mis-interpreted SS as AS. Don't even get me started with the nurses. So what do you want to prove? Face it, you are jealous, it doesn't take a Ghanian Dr to see that. With your first degree it will take you only 5 years to get MBBS. Its never too late.
I eagerly await a response from your sponsors. Bring it on!!!

You people won't kill me with laughter. Ofcourse the christians will never answer the question. Abeg Huxley if someone answers call me on 0800- THEY-WONT-DARE so that I can get some popcorn ready. Its gonn be fun.

Sorry o, but I'm too lazy to do my homework but won't 8 billion naira be enough to put a satellite into orbit?
Why can't they just say the new equipment will cost 100 million naira and then keep the remaining 8.1 billion naira to themselves instead of rubbing it in our faces. May the devil welcome each one of those thieves with fiery arms after a God-sent lightening strike decimates them and theirs.

@osh, you got that right. While we are busy killing ourselves because of oil, other nations are going green and they think Hillary will kiss our asses for oil? Never!!! Let her tell us more truths, who wan catch am? If they like sef make dem ground her plane it won't change the fact that Yar'apunk and co. are a useless bunch of immature ilamas with salt water in their brains.

deb:
what is this beef all about? Some of you guys which wish you are in his position.

Thats more like it! BTW I which wish I have the money not the way he is getting it.

Duhh!! Maybe if the word 'completely' was removed it won't be so obvious that this thread is a waste of space. How did it make front page anyway?
Talking of equality, that thread titled: 'Is the moon really round?' should make front page too.
They both suck!!

[quote author=Tudór link=topic=308068.msg4333081#msg4333081 date=1249988850]Even at the church of Elvis in LA people testify!


When daddy 419 prays and by some stroke of luck you get money they testify he's a powerful man but if it doesn't work {majority are of this category} they say you don't have enough faith or your grandfather took your destiny to the pacific ocean in 1902- Every excuse is given.[/quote]lmao. The 'destiny' was probably dropped in the pacific during one of the first few flights by the Wright brothers and G.O needs to buy another plane to get it back.

If not because they've politicized everything, why would you be on a rank for more than 4 years. And didn't those officers sign papers that would have defined their retirement to a particular age rather than a particular rank. . .I mean I don't gerrit!!

Like I said earlier, its a delicate balance. I've known people to set bride price based on beauty of and investments on the bride. If the girl looks like a crocodile and a rich guy comes for her then its a bonus so I doubt the girl or the parents would ask for something that would chase the guy. Also the girl wouldn't want to wait until Bill Gates comes along to buy her 24k gold, would she? Usually in a stalemate like this something has to give and its usually the bride price. If your friend thinks she's too fine for the guy and thus shouldn't go for less then she can bathe her face in acid and ask for a car or if she thinks so much has been invested in her and thus won't settle for less then she can tear her MIT certificate and ask for a white stallion instead.
The point is if the guy complains then she should jettison her fantasy and ask for less instead of sulking. I'm sure they still make 18k gold bars. If she turns out to be a good wife then a good husband would replace the 18k with 24k on their 10th anniversary.
HER ALBATROSS MOTHER-IN-LAW MAY EVEN BE OUT OF THE PICTURE BY THEN.

davidylan:
this husband will beat her sometime in the future

Shaaarrapp!!! The question was about dowry! Answer the question or go buy diamonds for your girlfriend.

@poster, the girl can ask for whatever she wants. Its the way she asks that matters. She definitely won't ask for such if she thinks her guy cannot afford it but the guy must not be made to feel like he's being milked. Its a delicate balance.

If I want to drop an F.G associated name, I'd drop the name 'Aso rock'. I mean WTF. . . it is embarrassing to 'drop' Yar'adaft's name, it could even get you killed.

On a more serious note, @poster, do whatever will make you happy not what will make others happy and make you sad!

@poster, see how naming the drug brought the elaborate reply above? Those steroids are controlled drugs and could be dangerous if misused.

@ikennahill, shut up already about Nigerian doctors. If a female Dr shunned your advances or you lost your precious g/f to a doctor it don't mean you should start writing junk about them. Next time you are ill, go see your mechanic. I bet they are more contented than Drs.
