ihedinobi2: You are debating that women have always been marrying better money. I am debating that that is a fairly modern phenomenon. In the past, women married more according to latent ability, that is, potential. There have always been social climbers, of course, but it is only now a new norm. It didn't use to be the norm.

Modern phenomenon? Nah! Capital NO.

In the past, they all wanted to marry into royal families, etc. Omo onile olona is not a modern saying

It is not a new thing. Women have always been hypergamous. Even, our forefathers knew this.

A woman with potential = wife material

A man with potential = millions of Naira.



That's the stark and unequivocal truth.

Our political leaders even take oaths on "holy" books. They swear on "holy" books

Beat that.

It is a Nigerian thing.

Nigerians pray when preparing for exam malpractices, vote rigging.

Even when preparing to attend interviews at embassies, we pray; visit prayer mountains even though the info filled on the visa form NA BABANLA LIE oo (frowned upon going by the so-called 10 commandments).

That's how we serve God. Make una free us, biko

red101: Most of us normal people have to settle for guy with "potential" and woman with "inner beauty"

When options are limited.

Or, in our 30s

Don't be deceived guys. By "potential", ladies actually mean MONEY (riches).

When military boys were in charge of Naija, they all believed khaki boys had potential. They wanted soldiers by all means (they even overlooked religion). I mean ladies raised in Catholic homes.

All children of the super-rich have potential in our dictionary


Forget it, at the end of the day, it's all about the Benjamins

sunex: Nah wah for som women sha, they can even be 99th wive all because of moni.

Most, not some.

djeezy: He managed to maintain peace amongst them that would be shattered once he is dead.

He didn't. It's money that's keeping them quiet.

AirborneLacer: Dont keep Bournemouth waiting for long at the Championship.

That fixture would generate a hell lot of revenue for both teams

Abramovich about to bolt it from England back to Russia - Western sanction tinz.

Well, all Chelsea fans will start supporting Man City - blue na blue na

AirborneLacer: Olaone1 my man kilon poppin?

Your team no dey LEAK yet na so so one one point them dey settle for.

What could be the problem?

Better than leaking like a broken trough a la Cheski

You know a country has failed when its former vice president, who spent his entire working life in public service, owns a private school. And, not just that, one that cost millions of US dollars to establish.

Maybe civil servants earn millions/month


He ruled the country yet he has no faith in its public education system

Youngzedd: I still didn't get this...

They teach us what they don't do, they taught us that adultery is a sin but here we are.
This guys are mocking Christianity.

You chose to listen to them. Well, they call you "sheep". I needn't say more

Pastors

Most Naija girls are ready to become Wife No 30 if you have enough money

Anyway, keep it up, KWAM1 de Ultimate

redsun: The poor child was idiomatically expressing herself under pressure and the man was too big headed/too nigerian to get the message.A witch for christ in her view means she expertly stands for jesus and that she is proud to be so.Not a witch against christ.

My take on this is that dem backroom pastors who normally stage-manage (contrive?) testimony-giving, fake miracle-proclaiming members of the congregation told her to say what she said - thinking it'd win more gullible souls on TV.

But, it backfired spectacularly.

No Nigerian is a Christian. None! Even the so-called men of God. They can't keep to the so-called 10 commandments let alone other gruelling demands. They just wear the badge on Sundays

The phrase they use annoy me to no end: Man of God


How are they men of God? How?

AirborneLacer: And forwarded Six.

Ride on the positive side of life mate

3 goals
Not mark of champions, though

4llerbuntu: QUOTE: Jose Mourinho on Spurs 4-5 Arsenal in 2004: "To get a result like that in a game of 11 vs 11 is disgraceful."

Quotable quote

AirborneLacer: It's Leicester up next.

Hope you've got better plans for Cambiasso and the rest?

We aren't Chelsea. We leak NOT!

3 goals conceded in 'bout 10 mins

AirborneLacer: Someone better would have replaced him.

He had a superb game today though.

Okay

And they wanted Ramirez out.

Maybe he also wants out


Chelsea fans?
