Proserpina:Keep shifting the goal post about traffic. Na people like una Dem go tell one una go de argue say na two you hear. Who goes to an eatery without eating, did you read what I've been writing or are you just trying to troll me? What I'm saying and have been saying is eating like a glutton on a date like the lady in question is wrong. If it's a plate of food your guy can afford to pay for accept it in good faith, if it's meat pie, collect it and go cos you're not there to eat, you're there to talk not to order for food like a refugee. He called you out to talk to you not to spoon feed you. If you cannot see the point I'm trying to make then I don't think I should continue this conversation. |
I posted this on the Dammy thread, and I'll post it here. This is one attitude of Nigerians I hate. That record has been lying idle for years and none of them ever thought of breaking it. There are also many Guinness world records currently being held by Nigerians but because none gave the holders the kind of publicity Baci has been getting, no one is attempting to break it. But because Baci started getting publicity and contracts here and there, boom, everyone suddenly wants to challenge the record so they too can hammer like her. If you go to a community without a pure water factory and open one, and business start booming, after some months everyone would want to open their own factory. Even the ones who would use their palour as factory. Within months the business would be saturated and everyone would stop making money. We lack creativity in this country. Just some bunch of opportunists trying to ride on the hard work of others. |
I'm not a fan of big breasts and big àss. They only look attractive when she's putting on clothes. Once she removes those clothes, the àss would be filled with bumps, gallopings, stretch marks...etc. While the breasts would make your JT collapse. I love them moderate or small, I love them natural. |
Proserpina:I'm talking about girls doing 9am-5pm jobs. The way you girls reason sometimes makes me weak. If you close from work by 5pm and have a date by 7 or 8pm, shouldn't common sense tell you to go home, take a bath, eat, put on something nice, smell fresh and then come out...who comes directly to a date from the office? When you'll get home latest by 6pm. @bolded It has nothing to do with whether she's tired or hungry, it has to do with her character as a girl. I've taken several girls on dates to know this. A jobless student might not even want to take anything you'll end up forcing and begging her to eat, but a supposed working class girl who earns a reasonable pay might see it as an opportunity to stock food for the whole week. I don't even know the angle you're coming from. Even if you don't work on weekends and we choose to hangout on weekends, it's not an avenue for you to quench your empty stomach unless we both agree that we're going to eat. I can call you and ask if you're free that I'm hungry, if you're free we can go and eat. I do that sometimes when I'm bored to some of my close female friends. But if we're still in the process of knowing each other, any outing should be to actually know each other and not for eating. You girls should change your attitude towards men. Everything shouldn't be about money. |
Proserpina:I can fix a date with you by 7p or 8pm because of the nature of your work. People go to dinner dates cos they work during the day and only have time at night to hangout. Some people even work through weekends, like doctors, Customer Care staffs, support engineers...etc. About your suggestion, do you know the traffic situation in Lagos before attempting to drive to an amusement park or museum or an exhibition center...etc? And with the fuel subsidy removal how many people would risk driving for hours on traffic just to go on a date? Most guys would just opt for a good food outlet cos it's closer and most especially comfortable cos you'd get to sit at a cool spot and enjoy their AC. It's you ladies that come to dates with this mentality of "make I go chop him money" you have to change that orientation. Cos dates are not for eating. If you want food, cook at home and eat or stylishly chip it in when coming for the date so that the guy would prepare himself. |
GloriousGbola:One plate of Rice, spiced chicken, salad, moi moi, another spiced chicken, one cup of ice cream, another plate of fried Rice, sauce, moi moi, salad and spiced chicken for take away....etc. Like play like play money don reach 12k. Whereas the guy is still on his first plate eating comfortably. That's how some girls eat when on a date. I remembered during my NYSC I took a girl out on a date. This girl drank 4 bottles of big stout, ate 3 plates of catfish pepper soup, was still begging me that she wants to eat gizzard and barbecued fish. Like I had to stop her at some point before she swallows 100k in one sitting. |
pocohantas:How do I check that. Cos I buy mine from my Kuda wallet, and they'll send the pin directly to my registered mobile number from which I'll use to load into the meter. So I wouldn't know if they've increased Tariff or not, what I know is that ever since light became stable, my units has been going down faster than usual, way faster. pocohantas:That has always been my prayer. For my income to triple (if possible) so that I can continue living my life as if nothing is happening in Nigeria. |
GloriousGbola:I live alone o. I just noticed that recently, it's been dropping faster than usual. My best guess is that IE has increased their Tariff. |
GloriousGbola:If I take a girl to a food outlet where cocktail alone might be around 5k, why should I frown if she eats up to 12k, I should expect such bill considering where I took her to. But judging from the exclamation of the guy when he saw her bill, you'd agree with me that he took her to a much more affordable restaurant, that's why he was pissed off when he discovered she swallowed 12k. The 12k isn't the problem here, the problem is her taking advantage of a date to fill her empty stomach. Dates are mainly for discussions not for quenching hunger. We're going there to talk not to eat. So why pay more attention on the food than the person taking you out, it's so wrong. |
pocohantas:There's cold na, no one would leave AC on during this period unless he wants to have severe cold. I have a Haier thermocool deep freezer which I use to store liters of soup I order for or pay someone to cook for me, packs of food I buy and loose appetite in eating, chilly chicken I buy from spar...etc, and a skyrun standing fridge which is basically for water, cans of malt and juice. Problem is I leave both of them permanently on 24/7. Maybe that's why my prepaid meter keeps dropping, or maybe "IE" has secretly increased their Tariff. |
Proserpina:Unless the guy took her to a foreign restaurant, or all these cozy food outlets in VI, Ikoyi or lekki, no popular eatery sells a plate of food 12k. I still bought spiced chicken, fried rice, sauce and a refreshing soft drink for 2k on Wednesday at chicken republic. So if I decide to go out with a date, I can just budget at most 5k for everything and we'll have a great time together. Now imagine her eating up to 12k in an eatery where a plate of food is sold for 2k? The girl was wrong, stop all these your unnecessary grammar and admit it. |
Men to be honest it has improved, like seriously improved. We had light for 6 days at a stretch without blinking. Before they took it and brought it back almost immediately. The only problem I'm faced with now is that my prepaid meter's units is horribly dropping each day with reckless abandon. ![]() Power supply has seriously improved on Lagos mainland. I don't know for other parts of Nigeria. |
Persephone1:Even as how things are hard, I doubt if any popular eatery sells food up to 12k per plate. The cheapest would be around 1,800 and the most expensive would be around 5k and you'd be rest assured that the follow come turkey would worth that amount. Besides, girls should learn courtesy. It's a date not a food competition you're going to. A date means you've agreed to spend ample time with the guy for the sole purpose of knowing each much better. So coming along with friends or ordering for food like a refugee portrays you as a hungry glutton who's only interest is her stomach. If I ask you out on a date, it's because I want to know you better, I can choose to order for a bottle of water, cos I'm not really interested in the food, I'm more interested in you. Even if you want to eat, order for something you know your man can easily pay for without raising eyebrows. It's poverty and hunger that makes girls see dates as a meal ticket to order for what they can't afford to pay for. |
xion360:What part of Nigeria are you based? You should have included it, so we can know how to advise you. |
EriMma1:Over familiarity and see finish....that's the cause. |
mariahAngel:This is one attitude of Nigerians I hate. That record has been lying idle for years and none of them ever thought of breaking it. But the moment a Nigerian broke it and started getting publicity and contracts here and there, boom, everyone suddenly wants to challenge the record. We lack creativity in this country. Just some bunch of opportunists trying to ride on the hard work of others. |
Nicenancy:Start up a random conversation with him whenever he's free, if he follows up and engages you, it means he's into you. If he doesn't, well well... you'll have to move your crush to someone else. |
Must we copy every nonsense from white people. Imagine husband and wife going stark naked all in the name of pregnancy photoshoot. 😩

tunjijones:Obviously...there are planets light years away from earth that can sustain life, our limitations is that we don't have any space craft that can travel at the speed of light or even 10% the speed of light. The Voyager space craft is the fastest ever built space craft and it doesn't even travel up to 5% the speed of light. So we're trapped in our own milky way galaxy and cannot explore other galaxies because we don't have the speed to get there. |
We're certainly not alone in the universe. The universe is very large and scientist have confirmed that there are billions of other galaxies similar to ours, so it's safe to say that even though not confirmed yet, there's definitely life existing somewhere out there. |
1. A It's very obvious that he's pumping more of his finances on you than his mom hence her ranting. Do you know the cost of flying a return ticket for 2 abroad with lodging cost, shopping...etc. And he's still a salary earner, every concerned mom would raise her eyebrows. And any sensible girl would caution her man against such unnecessary wastage. B. No sensible girl would support her man to ditch his mom just to be with her, you should have encouraged him to go for the New year Eve prayers and even joined him there. That way you'd get to bond properly with her. You're just selfish and self-centered. C. That woman has laboured more for that guy than you. You should have handed over the gift he bought for you to her. I'm 100% sure that if you did that, he'll definitely get you another gift and his mom would have a gift as well. It's like killing two birds with one stone. D. You're playing a very dangerous game that wouldn't end well for you, cos with time, he'd be forced to choose between you and his mom, and believe me, he'll choose her over you over and over again. Never object whatever she suggests to her son, cos he hasn't married you. For now you're just a girlfriend whom he can replace anytime. So stop coming in between them, allow them sort out themselves and do not interfere cos he'll tell her whatever you say. E. Hmmm F. You should be more concerned about how you've already created division between him and his mom in just the few months you've been in his life. That should trouble you more than whatever is going on in his family. Cos if you cannot get on fine with his mom and marry him, believe me, the word depression would be a child's play as compared to what you'll face should things go south. G. The family has been depending on him before he met you and would continue to depend on him whether or not you get married. If you try to cut him off from providing for them, they'll gang up and make that marriage a living hell for you. Your concern should be his ability to take care of the home (if he married you) and not what he gives to his people cos he'll Continue to support them. You certainly cannot stop him. 2. You don't like his appearance yet you agreed to an all paid expense trip abroad? If you know you can't stay with him, let him be. Cos it would be evil and an act of witchcraft to separate him from his mom and dump him along the way. You're no longer a kid, make up your mind. 3. So you've never had dreams of achieving your own goals and becoming an independent woman. You're saying you have no aspirations, no ambition, no career growth, nothing at all you're looking forward to aside marrying a rich man who would take care of you? That's all you hope for as a woman? You have no plans of working or at least taking care of yourself...I'm afraid to tell you that if you continue this way, sooner or later that guy would start seeing you as a liability and begin hunting for your replacement. |

What is he apologizing for? Tinubu is the president of Nigeria, I see no reason why he shouldn't speak positively about his president regardless of who he voted for. |
pocohantas:@ bolded. That's their goal. They write up an emotional story to make you feel sober, then put up an account number for people to pay into. Once you drill them in order to authenticate the originality of their story, you'll start seeing glaring inconsistencies like you pointed out. During the covid lockdown, it was celebrities they were stalking. It got so bad that even don jazzy had to cry out that he receives over a thousand dms daily mostly from people begging him. This same people dragged him for crying out, some even called him stingy. Some celebrities like Davido and others succumbed to pressure by going give away. My annoyance that period and even now is that none of these people are stalking their elected politicians. These leaders horded palliatives meant for the masses, yet no single social media chronic beggar called them out the way they were calling celebrities. None went to their various social media pages to post account number or shade them for not giving them money. Those are the people they're supposed to be begging, not someone hussling to keep his head afloat in this horrible economy. Covid finished, and it became worse. Some would just go through your Facebook pics, and the next thing is to send you an emotional message begging for money....like who does that? Attached is one of the dozens of messages I receive regularly on Twitter and Facebook.

pocohantas:As expected she has disappeared. I wonder how many years it would take someone to post his/her school ID and past school fees receipt... this is one of the reasons why I don't take online beggars seriously cos 99.9% of them are into one addiction or the other. They come online with various monikers composing all sorts of emotional stories. If you fall for their deceit and give them money, they'll either they'll use it to gamble or carry olosho. Once they've exhausted the money, they'll come back with another moniker to beg for another one....it's an endless cycle. |
In Nigerian politics there's no permanent friend or enemies only permanent interest. Our politicians know this and unite even with perceived sworn enemies when necessary for collective looting. But their hungry followers who can't afford one meal a day don't know this, they keep defending them even and dying for them at the cost of their own future and that of their unborn children. May God help them. |
It might not be pregnancy, it might be a health condition. Take her a lab for test to confirm first. Because from that picture you posted of her, I'll tell you that I'm 65% sure that it's not pregnancy. |
The truth is over 65% of Nigerians aggressively defending their oppressors don't earn half of this figure monthly. How they choose to continually attack and fight those who geninuely want a change that would benefit them still baffles me. |
The rule of the thumb is never to ignore glaring red flags in your relationship. If you do, it would hunt you in your marriage. My best guess is that your husband has an addiction that consumes his money. Most likely betting. If that's the case, I'll suggest you move out and give him some space. Hussle for your kids and continue to pray for things. Hopefully he'll change. |
ZIMDRILL:I advised him based on his post. Didn't you read it? He said it's an old house in his village by the stream. Therefore I believe it's safe to conclude that someone waiting to inherit an old village house doesn't have money to build his own. Infact he doesn't even have any reasonable job to begin with that can make him own a property. And reality isn't like Nollywood movies where you'll go to the city and in a few months time, you're back in the village to erect a mansion. To dig foundation of a 3bedroom bungalow up to lintel level in the most remote villages in Nigeria today would cost you over 3m. Someone without a reasonable income cannot be able to afford that, it's not about writing motivational speeches, it's about reality. His best bet is to wait for the uncle's demise then take back what's his. |

, so you are advocating for not eating on a date? Lol I hear you. Funny thing is I'm not even talking about food here and I'm not interested.
