RomanceRe: My Girlfriend Just Broke Our 5 Year Relationship. Pls I Need Advise!!! by ojuolu(m): 9:02am On Jul 13, 2016
BrokenHeart2016:
Right now my heart is heavy, am in a state of confusion I don't know what to do.On saturday I received the shock of my life through a text message from my girlfriend stating that I should move on with my life that it is over between us, at first I thought I was dreaming because I just got up from bed at exactly 7am, I ignored the text thinking it was a mistake had to shower and get ready for work. The following day which happens to be on sunday I called her and She told me that she has think about it that I should move on with my life...its over!!! I asked her what have I done to deserve such a thing from her she was unable to justify her action.
O boy, my jaw drop e be like say dem use dagger pierced my heart have never experience such thing in my life, I do read it online about how girls break up with their partner with no reason I can't believe this is happening to me. This is a girl that I really care for we met during our National Diploma program in 2012, she will be graduating this year while am about to put in for my HND.
Am not boasting about what have done for her but I just want you guys to understand my plight, I help her financially during her two years of studies pay her school fees and other miscellaneous while am still hustling. During our five years of courtship have never thought of cheating her or dump her for no reason I always make sure she's comfortable because her parents has passed. Since saturday my life have never been the same because the tone of text msg always ring on my head, am so sad right now I can't think straight anymore my boss at work notice my mood today and ask me what's up with me I had to dodge the question....till now I always look at my phone hoping to see her call or text maybe she was joking with me, I really love her so much and I always express my love to her though am not financially bouyant at the moment but I always do everything in my capacity to ensure she is Ok....there was a time i use money meant for my handouts to buy her foodstuffs and all, have sacrifice a lot for her during our academic days I finished with Lower Credit while she has Upper Credit. I'm not jealous of her success but frankly speaking I make impact in her life in general, I do see her as the mother of my kids there are a lot of plan I have for her, we always discuss this all the time. Right now she school in osun state while am hustling here in oyo state but I always travel to visit her from time to time and shower her with a lot of gifts.
Pls I need your advise on how to move on with my life because right now the thing is affecting my life I can't think straight anymore or even sleep very well. Bashing is also allowed I just want u guys to talk sense into my head.

Sorry for my grammatical blunders
Hi op, you may not get to read this but others will. I will start by telling you that relationship is a two way thing. "It takes two to tango", and the two that tango must have expectations and the expectations also have timeline. Gone is the era of love is blind...not in the present economic realities anyway, If your love have eyes defection, her can see! A woman ideally have following expectations 'ceteris paribus'; Finish secondary education (without getting pregnant), gain admission on time into higher institution, develop a fulfilling , marriage-bound relationship with a guy THAT HAS PROSPECT(prospect...not rich), graduate and get a job as not to become a burden (if possible), settle down and have a family with a man of her dream who can provide security on all fronts(socially, financially, morally, spiritually and emotionally). You might have been in her life when her expectation was at a stage where she need to develop a relationship, but you will agree with me that the expectation, like in Maslow hierarchy of needs theory, would have moved up in the past five years while you are still where you were when she met you. What she did was natural and noble. I wont blame her. She is sensible, practical, forward looking, honest and realistic. You should evaluate yourself and your life. Questions such as these should be answer by you: In the last five years, how have i improved myself? Can i sustain a family now? If yes, at what standard of living? Again when will i be ready to get married and raise kids? Where do i see myself in the next five years? All these questions are self focused. They are called critical self evaluation. Now ask again: this lady i am dating, does she fit into the 'me' now and the 'me' i see in the nearest future? This is called the evaluation of the impacts of your current and future factors on your partner(please this is equally important). She must have done an honest evaluation of herself and her future to arrive at this "painful decision". Please note, she is equally pained. At least, she has given herself emotionally, socially, psychologically and what have you. She had been trying to 'fit into you' in the past years. Please allow her to move on. Your plains are obviously no longer same.
Now i will offer you this advice. Critically evaluate yourself, identifying those areas you need to work on to be fit for a woman of your dream if you really want to be taken serious. The part i made bold in your write up were mere efforts for which you were adequately rewarded when she was with you in whatever manner you may want to look at it. Again, make a visible, concerted and realistic efforts at achieving your dream of being an ideal husband. Remember, to get an ideal partner, you have to first be an ideal partner yourself. Efforts counts for little, results matters a lot. Get results!

Is nairaland meant for those born in the 90s alone. If the guy use a personal blackboard,(slate is the correct name back then), it means he is older than those who did not use it, but that does not exempt him from sharing his views on nairaland. As a matter of fact, I had my own Slate too, my painting and picture books, read Mr Bako etc. You can call that weird too.

Onegai:
Once you make it clear that you are okay with sharing financial information with her and taking care of your responsibilities, she should calm down. A lot of times, women act in fear when it comes to money: due to what they have seen or heard. Encourage her to buy small things to decorate the house, make it clear it's "our Family, our money, our home, our decisions together". Not "our money, my decisions alone and if you take out of the money to give your brother a soft loan I will act like you stole from me". That last part, is what I was told by a lady who was shocked to hear I had a joint with hubby. She hides her salary from her husband and demands money too. Because he acts "funny" when he knows she has money or she gave a loan and he found out.

If I were you, i'd turn the giving of the allowance into a fun performance.
You made a whole lot of sense sir. I practise same thing. My wife know the total sum I earn and after I have given her upkeep and housekeep, I still take up minor and random expenses of hers. Bills are practically mine (she is not in a paid job for now). She buy me things and take care of some minor bills from the little she can save from what I am giving her. She, in her own little ways, is even contributing to our building project despite not working. Since I noticed this attributes in her, I pray daily I earn more to give more or God should grant her a wonderful job to earn her own income. Op should be open to her and should not play "the man" in the relationship when it come to disclosure around finance. If you do, women have tendencies to think you earn more than you do and you don't wanna spend it on them.

BusinessRe: New Naira Policy: 8 Things That Will Happen In The Next 10 Days by ojuolu(m): 1:56pm On Jun 16, 2016
Dauraking:
I think you're the one talking arrant nonsense.

1. What do you mean by "duo parallel rate at the official market". I know English Language is not your mother tongue. So I forgive you.

2. Of course Naira has been devalued because floating Naira means that the currency worth would be determined by the market. The market has always said that N197/$1 by the government was overvalued. The real value of Naira is what we would see from Monday.

3. There's no diversion. Those appointed by the government would sell dollar at market rate. There's nothing like N199/$1 again.

4. With this policy, you can't round trip or speculation is reduced.

5. Naira is already floated.

In as much as I'm a stern critic of Buhari administration, I applaud this monetary policy. Still I blame the government for waiting for 10 months before it's implement thereby wasting foreign reserves and engendering massive corruption. We should blame the Dullar.d himself. He said that he must be convinced before he would devalue Naira. Who now convinced him to float Naira. Maybe, his London doctors have successfully opened his blocked ears and he heard reasons for the first time.
Guy, most Nigerian critics are not informed. I am very sure a lot of the people writing up here have not read the policy paper. There is no dual market. CBN Intervention in the market will be by 1. The Interbank FX market (which is eventually the only officially recognised market why naira is allow to float against dollar. 2. The Secondary Market Intervention Sales. The Intervention through the Interbank FX Market is a reserve right of CBN as a regulator of the financial market. Then, SMIS is also a way of CBN regulating the market and also ensuring competitiveness of the market. Please do not look for official market of 199 to $ because you wont see it. There will eventually be a convergence of rate in the market as more Authorised operators which include but not limited to Authorised Dealers(banks and other financial institutions),Authorised Buyers (same people and other major user of FX) Oil companies, Oil service companies, Exporters, End users etc will participate in the market. The Op position is close to what will happen ceteris paribus.

Fantastically nonsensical journalism. What is his offence? We don't know if his offence has any connection with the MSP, but for sensational heading, you added the minister name and run to publish on social media. Your source should also be able to supply the fact of the crime so that people will understand that his offence had nothing to do with the MSP. You should also be conscious of the half literate Nigerians that only judge content of the news from the topic. The offence is before Ibe Kachukwu even assumed GMD NNPC not to talk of ministerial position. Please for objectivity and balanced reporting, get your facts straight. Thank you.

Who will help this fellow with the story of IFE VS MODAKEKE WAR which is still very fresh. Have you witness the fight for motorpark right in Yorubaland before? The carnage that happened at IWO road in Ibadan few years back is typical example of the kind of mayhem that Yoruba agitators are capable of unleashing anytime, anyday. They are peaceful because they respect each other and are not foolish and foolhardy like some of our kindred from other part of the country. They know no particular area has the prerogative of weapons and bravery. Sanctity of life is also very key to a typical yoruba person (not talking of the ritualists anyway.)

Pal, if she was doing it once in a while that should have been understandable but every night is suspicious. She could be cohabbing with some other dude.

I have been in distance relationships and whenever I have someone visiting either weekends or longer I never make or take night calls from bae, sighting flimsy excuses or atimes switch off my phones.

Nothing can keep one busy so much that her phones are always off at nights, something is fishy. Why not pay her a surprise visit or tell her you want to come spend time at her place?
Op does not really understand what communication mean to a woman/lady who truly and genuinely love. It is everything, the lyric both in the morning and at bed time. Busy ke? No... I won't judge her but she is not pure or probably she is not really dating you. You might be her plan b, c, d or e. Why don't you investigate. Do a surprise visit, check into a hotel, then around the time she normally switched off her phone, pay her a visit. Another thing I will like to know, has she ever spent the night at your place? Does she also switch off her lines?

Hmmmm. His excuses are fantastically unreasonable and not befitting a gentleman. I will repeat it again, this guy is not cultured, not refined despite driving porche and presumably loaded.

Anyways how do I send over ur JDaniels, I promised that.
You are indeed very well informed and your mindset is simply very encouraging. For the Jd, I am in Abuja. For the sake of distance, I can free you from the promise.

I am in the service industry bro. Customers are always right 'within what is legal and reasonable ' assaults is not legal and reasonable. My organisation will never tolerate such barbaric and uncultured response from its clients under any guise. As long as the security guard was not the initiator of the assault, Seyi has no reasonable reason to alight from is car to sound a guy out three times because "customer is always right. Our security guards know their rights. They are trained to be professionals. They won't beat him up but management will get to know and we will exit such relationships. Something is telling me Eko Hotel will act on this incidence. And I pray they do.

Yes, you are right sir. But there is a word missing., 'reasonably' I work for an international organisation in the service industry. No person, I repeat no person no matter his/ estate will try that with a security guard of my organisation. We will exit such relationship. The security guard, apart from being an employee is also an internal customer, and more importantly, a stakeholder. No business ever sign a contract with its customers to freely assaults its staff. You know why? Because business are becoming more international and they no the importance of his human resources. Gone are the days when institutions we expose it's staff to these type of ridicule in the name of "customers are king", "customer is always right" . I will be surprised if Eko Hotel fails to act on this. Seyi Lawless is simply too local and so un cultured to have done what he did. On the other hand,I won't be surprised if this incident is investigated and a written apology demanded from Seyi Law by the Management of Eko Hotel.

Beside, I have been to Eko Hotel severally, this guys are professional and courteous. Rudeness doesn't seems to be one of the characters known with them.

Christianity EtcRe: Should I Pay My Tithe Or Pay My Brother's School Fees? by ojuolu(m): 12:25pm On May 10, 2016
Dahveydson:
Charity is the greatest of all.

You want to pay tithe while your brother stays home because of school fees? - ask yourself, what will jesus say? - in all of jesus miracles and teachings, where did he shelf love for the law?

How can you say you love God, if you cannot love your brother enough to pay his fees? And who said that tithe must be paid to the church?

My advise, pay your brother's school fees. Showing love and care is greater than paying tithe that you see as a levy.
Best advice by a mile. Op, thank God you are a christian that believe in tithing. I do too. Please read Isaiah 58 careful and prayerfully. Paying tithe is not superior to the injunction there. Kindly know that "so that there may be food in my house" is the basic reason for tithe. No matter what sermon anyone will preach, the standard is certain.
Again let me ask you, what will be your testimony, or which one sound better in your ears, I was unable to pay my brother school fees in order to obey the law of tithing or I was able to help my brother in need.
"who so ever know the right/good thing to do and fail to do it, to him is counted a sin."
Please do the needful immediately.

BiafraBushBoy:
I write this with much urgency and anger inside me..

I am a young man in my early twenties and work as a management staff of a company. I have a driver that is it old enough to be my father's senior and I accord him due respect. But the problem is that he is not just doing his job in a professional manner..

He comes late to work, because I can manage and jump molue, so no need of him picking me from home.

Always complaining that he is bigger than driving his son's mate. But the truth is that I don't make him feel bad because as a guy man, I even sit in front with him and do other things just to create an atmosphere of respect for him. and because of this, l am always late for some business appointments.

He is not just focused on the job. And it has gotten to management's notice. So I was asked to run an appraisal on him...

But the truth is that.... he always tell me sometimes of how hard things are for his family and how he uses this Job to keep body and soul together...

Am kind of confused now, should I patch up for him, or give a correct report about him!!

I have now and tomorrow to report back.. Matured advice please!!
Have you give him verbal warning? Please you may need to appraise him objectively and document it now before you a thrown away with the dirty water. No one will be exonerated along the value chain when the chips are down due to gaps in time management.
