Nice Poem

Unfaithfulness, Nagging, stealing does it for most men.

Quote by Mrs Chima I got a feeling a fool with manliness going to say "She laughed at a dude that made a sexy comment to her and I beat her up because I am a Yaba Left patient".

Mrs Eve/Mrs Chima are you not supposed to be an African American? How come you know what a yaba left patient connote?
What with the constant "Mrs" title in all your usernames. Which AA will ever conceive of flaunting the fact that she is a Mrs? It sounds like a behaviour of a Naija lady with a certain complex that makes her flaunt her marital status to all and sundry. Just wondering whether we are mistaken you for somebody else sweetie pie

Hey people! I am dedicating this song to all singles in Nairaland along with the critics that haul words at them whenever they are brave enough to open up to their fellow being. Just hoping that this can open our heart more and make us respect the feelings of others and truly care for one another. You can listen to it at youtube.com through the link below, the lyrics is here for you too.

"IF EVERYONE CARED"

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died,

[Chorus]

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died

I still marvel at the way Nairalanders are quick to mock, laugh and bring down single ladies when they open up here. Many matured couples met through websites, forums and chat sites. I thought we are an evolved people that are exposed and moving on with the time. I am even beginning to realize that I esteemed and respected some Nairalanders more than they are proving themselves to be. Some people allow their imagination run away with their intelligence when they take their "I'm- smarter- and- more- intelligent- than- you- all" pose and make unfair assumptions. Come on people, let's respect the dignity of others here and not match all over it simply because the person is lonely and is looking to have company. Thousands of matured couples met through websites, forums and chat sites.

@MrBrownJay
I deemed you more intelligent than that, did you just say that? Now, don't disappoint me pls.

@Silknsteel
Sweetheart, where are you right now so I can see which nice person around you that I can hook you up with. Don't let NOBODY bring you down dear. Everything is going to be alright and do know that any kind of person can approach you for friendship through this thread so you have to be very very careful in sieving real from the chaff.
Again your phone number may not be the best medium to use here, a loose e-mail is better used so that you can interact with people for a while in order to get to know them before giving them such personal stuffs like your number.
Perchance you meet somebody here, don't be in a hurry to go meet them wherever, use caution. Tell the people around you that you are going for a  meeting in a so so place and if possible take a friend or sibling along with you. Be wise too in choosing the venue of such a meeting, an open place that have many people around is a good place for such.
When you do meet a person you like, don't be in a hurry "to let the love and loving begin". Be wary, don't be too trusting until you are very sure
that he is right for you.

Thanks everybody and Miss Chaircover thanks a million. I respect you very much, try not to misunderstand this okay.

I hereby declare the thread closed so comments are no longer needed.
Why is it that each time a lady opens up about the desires of her heart here in Nairaland she either gets mocked, insulted, laughed at and carelessly talked to by the guys(and God help you if you are approaching forty for you will get laughed and even called such names as Aunty) or get told by the ladies in the comfort of their matrimonial homes to quit being desperate. When are we going to become a sensitive people that respect the most delicate feelings of others. Is it not our culture that made it that a lady has to be married by a man and not vice versa so why do some of us mock such ladies in that circumstance. The ladies that go "here comes a desperate one", do you know what it feels like for a full blooded thirty something lady (that truly longs for family life because it isn't all singles that desire that much) to be alone. You definitely do not know and what such needs is simply encouragement. If I am desperate I will not be here looking please, I would have married anybody that asks. I am here to see whether I can hook up with a responsible person not out of desperation. I want a family and I am not desperate. I know what is coming next for daring to stand up for myself, I know some quick to accuse ones here will start their own on "how dare you talk like that, this is why you are not married". They can go on and have their fun because I am on my way out of the thread. If I did not achieve anything here, I am glad that I had the opportunity to mention this so that other single ladies can at least get a little more respect here in NL. Thanks everybody. THREAD CLOSED!

davidylan:

what's your age specifically? Are you closer to 40 than 30?

@Davidylan
There are nicer ways to ask that, how about rephrasing that question? Even if I am yearning much for a family, for the sake of my dignity and the dignity of other single Nigerian women, I can't answer a question phrased like that. No offense meant, thanks.

Yes I really want a family and will rather come here amidst you all my people than chat online with stranger people. I am in my thirties, love children very much. It's too lonely out here and I long for a companion to love and be loved too. I am a decent person and honestly don't want to live that life of sleeping with different people. One man is all I have ever wanted in my life and I have waited real long for him to come along.
I know that when people open their heart here in NL like this that they are bound to receive duifferent shades of things ranging from insult to abuse, please I really don't need that. I didn't swallow my pride and open myself here to receive those so if you must have fun here do but don't abuse or insult, don't quarrel too. You are welcome to my humble thread. njideoko@yahoo.com
