Where's the abuse there and what manner of fiance still stays with parents...
So long there's no s.ex, she's home free. Those things are fun really. Both party are at their heights of pretence - NEAR PERFECT COUPLES!

Localamos: I mean no offence here, but if I were the chick, I'd ditch you too.

You sound like a control-centric loser. You want to get a replacement for her? And how do you think the new chick will feel if she realised that she is a 'replacement' and not the real deal? Then you went ranting about how you'd focus on your career (I thought the fulfilment found in love and career are totally different, and are not substitute for eachother).

you started by accusing her of infidelity. Are calling a dog a bad name so as to kill it? (Bloaks easily pass the blame on the other person. Now I get it).

See, you need to do a serious self evaluation and know the place of people and relationships in your life. It is only when you fully discover yourself and the place of people in your life, only then can you beggin to enjoy a refreshing love relationship in the future.

Cheers.

You sounded like a very bad counselor to me. Use Soft words next time.

LesbianBoy: CORRECTION SIR, its ''if Money grows on trees, NIGERIAN GIRLS will marry a monkey!''

Correction....'corrector'

tintingz: First, it is important to know that thousands of years ago life was different than today. Today, people wouldn't accept slavery for any reason. The reason for this is because people are a lot more independent both financially, education wise, mentally, etc... But people back then were different. When a tribe or a group of people lose a major battle and their money is mostly, if not all, is taken as war booty by the other side, then people could and would accept being slaves for the following reasons:

1- Both financial and social security. When their country or tribe lost the war, they also lost most or all of their money as war booty. Being out of money and food, it becomes necessary for anindividual to find the means for basic survival in life. Living as a slave would provide this.

2- Protection from hostile individuals. Even under the Islamicrule, you can still find hostile individuals who violate the Law and take matters into their own hands. An enemy family can be sometime in danger if they don't have a "protector".

3- Widows, Orphans, and the extremely poor of the enemy sideneed the financial and social protection from a Master. Back then, there were no governmentswith good social system that protects everyone. Slavery back then was that social system in special cases.
There are probably more points I can add, but I think these are sufficient enough. Let us now see the Islamic System toward Slaves:
Yes slaves were taken from the blood-thirsty and hostile enemies,but they were also given the rightto get their freedom when ever they want. The Noble Quran not only allows slaves to request theirfreedom from their Muslim masters, but also orders the Muslim masters to pay the slaves money to help them stand on their feet and to be able to face life with a good jump start.
Let us look at Noble Verse
24:33 "Let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste, until God givesthem means out of His grace. Andif any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum) , give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which God has given to you . But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them, yet, after such compulsion, is God, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful(to them)," In this Noble Verse, we see that if a slave requests his freedom from his Muslim master, then his master not only must help him earn his freedom if there is good in the Slave, but also pay him money so the slave can have a good start in his free life.
"The law of slavery in the legal sense of the term is now obsolete. While it had any meaning, Islam made the slave's lot as easy as possible. A slave, male or female, could ask for conditional manumission by a written deed fixing the amount required for manumission and allowing the slave meanwhile to earn money by lawful means and perhaps marry and bring up a family. Such a deed was not to be refused if the request was genuine and the slave had character. Not only that, but the master is directed to help with money out of his own resources in order to enable the slave to earn his or her own liberty."

Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: "The Prophet said, "Give food to the hungry, pay a visit to the sick and release (set free) the one in captivity (by paying his ransom). " (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Food, Meals, Volume 7, Book 65, Number 286) "

Gustav Joachin does all these also...no exception.

tintingz: lol. . .what if i start quoting from the bible where jehovah was waging war to those who didnt accept him. . .and Jesus told his disciples to buy swords and kill

Buy sword?! ...to kill?!
Heaven no. Literal meaning to a metaphor................

SUNDAY MORNING IN CHURCH
Pastor: bless you Mommy Tolu
Mommy Tolu: bless you Daddy Morning sir
Pastor: where's Daddy (Mommy Tolu's husby)?
Mommy Tolu: He's at home
Pastor: ...joining us later?
Mommy Tolu: Daddy it it well oooo...

Most men, married or single, don't want to go to church; the offerings, pledges, vows, seeds etc scare some, others are bored.

Many still struggle to understand this faith thing and many more are all out to frustrate their churchy wives.

Others are free-thinkers, fun-seekers and trasure-hunters.

Lastly, a quantom proportion of those men we see in churches are 'EUTICHUSes'

God help us all!

Mind you, I've been to more cities than I mentioned (Umuahia, Enugu, Owerri, Akure, Ijebu-Ode, Abeokuta, Warri, Ilorin, etc & they're all good in their own rights and forms) and I'm barely 30+

Waiting...

.

Dutse (Jigawa) - 1yr. The people are tolerant. Things are very cheap. Even transportation. Fruits etc.

Kaduna - 9yrs. Bubbling city. A beehive of activities. Mixed racial settlement devastated by sharia war.

Kano - 2yrs. Mind-your-business city. Crouded but safe. Panic fills the air 'cos of B/H.

Ibadan - off & on. Modest and safe. Crouded, noisy but still clean

Lagos - 3yrs. Mark making city, thugs and swindlers everywhere. The 'only' city that rewards very hard work in Nigeria!

Ekiti - 1yr. Noiseless, boring but safe and accommodating. Farmers everywhere. Nothing to learn really (for me).

Yenagoa - 3yrs. Nepotism in the air. Not much places to go except churches & eatries. Promiscuity (women). Arrogance, intimidation. Apparently one of the cities you don't go looking for job

P/H - off & on. Your survival is dependent on money. Everybody is welcome as long as you have your money

Abuja - present. No place for the lazy.

Nigeria is one big beautiful place I tell you. All we need do is to learn to love one another.

acidtalk: Thanks for sharing.

The reality is MOST of this so called Celebrities are very inferior to the core set of people.

Lemme give you a brief hint.

Timaya : Always consoles in conversations about talking of his latest acquisation ride, belts and wrist watch. The dude is more concerned boring you with his material gains instead of normal discussion.

Omotola : carries her eyes and shoulders high and fails to return greetings from fans (I know she is only shy and fails to admit it because she is a very jovial person when with less crowd).

Klint the drunk : this dude is as shy and soft spoken as you can think of. Forget all the staggering on stage and the rest oh! The guy is humble in real life.

Chidi Mokeme : (bros, when next you wear that red shoe again, na slap I go slap you. Always on that red shoe and driving a red hummer, you be devil?) Truth be told, he is a very quiet person who is soft spoken in reality. Though he is a very bad sharp underground player.

Gordons : He is as lousy in reality like he is on stage. But there is always a story to learn from his. He doesn't try to form what he isn't. But I doubt if his fans and outsiders can say such.

Don Jazzy : Introvert to the extreme. Forget all the twitter noise. He loves his privacy to the chore and is always indoors sleeping. The guy humble and no get wahala at all.


Will continue later.

Are you a sorcerer?

It all bothers on belief:
Hear a testimony of mine:
One Sunday during offering, the Minister said 'empty your pocket to God this morning'.
All I had home and abroad was in my pocket that morning and I must confess to you that when Ministers talk like that, I wouldn't take it seriously but that morning, for whatever 'silly' reason I did.
In fact I borrowed money to go to work the next day - stupid isn't it?
In the night of that same sunday I received an "unusual & unexpected" call from an Engineer... the rest for me is a glorious history.
LIAR ARE HELLBOUND!!!

Atheism? For me, no.
Islam? For me once again, no (once was)
Christianity? For me, yes (I am)
I'm not out to condemn or commend any faith but I think human beings are the problems here and not the Church.
So, weigh your options and think again. Your belief does influence your thinking and acting.

a1solution: MARRIAGE COUNSELING IS A BUSINESS. IF KNOW HOW TO BRAINWASH PEOPLE YOU MAKE YOUR CASH FROM IT, IF NOT IT DOESN'T CHANGE OR ADD ANYTHING TO THE FAMILY.

Your Opinion.
Does it convince me? No!
Why? I'll tell ya...
Your married younger sister comes to you crying, explaining to you how difficult things have become for her in her marriage. She confides in you, that's why she comes to you, and that puts you in the position of a counselor to help her save her marriage (or save her life if need be). Can you then be foolish to spin cash out of her desperation for help or advise her wrongly, or brainwash her? I guess not.
Everybody is a counselor though some are professionally trained and they charge for service rendered (but not in churches).
I attended group counseling once...it helped...I paid nobody!

All shall be well with homes.
No trouble.....no divorce.

Wake up Nigerians I advise.
Even if you have everything going on well for you today, always remember that even weather can be unpredictably unfair without warning anytime.
Let's fight for a better tomorrow today. Nigeria is in her worst state of corruption as we speak.
(Someone got a contract in a "commission", he was called by some top shots in the commission and told point-blank that the contract was not to be executed. All he needed do was to return cash when he's mobilised and keep an agreed percentage.
Liars will go to hell. This is a truth.
The same sets of contracts have been repeated in 2013 Budget.
Ministries, Agencies, Departments, Commissions etc etc are all guilty of this...OH MY GOD!)
Wake up people!!!
