₦airaland Forum

It's just like asking if Couples can be on FACEBOOK together. There is nothing wrong with it OP. If you don't know, people have met and got married through Nairaland Platform.
.
Though, for some, their reason(s) for registering on Nairaland may be for different reason(s) such as:
¤ For Fun
¤ For the Excitement
¤ For Learning
¤ For Monitoring Him/her
¤ Etc...
For me, i would even introduce it to my wife because Nairaland has been like a School to me, where i Learn different things because the Threads here on Nairaland may be funny, but trust me, i learn (the positive) from every good thread i read and still counting...
That's why i will always be grateful to Seun for this platform.

Just be patient as this is the first time you're noticing this. I would advice that you stay clear from them because you may just be the 'Angel' that will destroy your brother's marriage.
.
You're not even replicating your signature...

omotohdarajugbogbolo:
Good day fam,

I really need your advice on something.

I am a lady in my late twenties and I work with a multinational company here in Lagos.
This is my third year on the job and I know I need a car now.

Now here's the issue; my siblings think that getting a car is a bad idea. Why? Cos am single.

My beloved brother said it would push men away from me

Please does this not sound myopic? I really don't get it.

House how do you see this cos I feel down right now.

Please i just want to know the Meaning of your Moniker

Marvell23:
I believe so but government should make the environment enabling for local entrepreneurs

Yes! You're right.

This is just like asking if one should buy his wife a Landline Telephone or an Android Phone. The answer is simple, but some peoples thoughts are just too odd to comprehend.

Good development. I know that one day, Nigeria and Nigerians will make us proud as well concerning Technology.

See you again(fast n furious7) by wiz-khalifa ft charly putt. I dedicated the song to my late Wife. :
Oh! Sorry about that...

Mines is ''The woman with the issue of blood'' By Bro Ifeanyi. The song gives Hope to the Hopeless and it make you Believe ''Anything is possible.

@ Blessinzy,
It tells you that your friend is not really knowledgeable about what Relationship entails. The truth is she's just being ruled by her Emotions and guess what, she will say she's in Love whereas, her emotions are ruling over her. She doesn't even know what to choose from that's her Biggest challenge right now.
.
Though we can't really judge her true motives because we don't have facts about why she's doing this. She has to know that these things starts gradually. At just 20 she's already started being (should i say Promiscuous). I wonder what would have happened by the time she turned 30 and eventually get married.
.
If she continues like this, it's obvious that she can never be satisfied by her future husband because it seems the MINDSET is pilling up for her.
.
As her bestie, you really can help her out by Lovingly and Patiently talk to her that as a Woman that she is, she needs Dignity, Respect and Self-Worth for herself because 'Most Men' (majority) play along with you the way you place yourself in their Court.
.
Concerning the abortion, well i don't have words for her at this point because ''I dey Vex For Her.''

onila:
a descendant of jaja is asking me out :Psome royal love things

They are Brave people and they've got Royalty attrubutes flowing in their vein. But becareful because some guys are not smilling Internally with you, but just Physically to fast-track their plan.

happyjuliet:
Op u are nag mugu 1 give me ur house address mk we complete 4, and happy New in advance

No wonder this one never still Pass JAMB. Happy New Girlfriend or Happy New Year? Which one?

That second picture doesn't look like they are Nigerians, because Nigerians 'are shy kissing in public' and it's hard for a 9ja adult guy to pose like that guy on a 'Ghana Suit.' because 9ja get SWAG

Nice one oga emusmith. Kontinew your good writting skills in 2016...

Father: How many times did i call you?
daughter: 3 times daddy.
Father: God! Now listen attentively:
.
My Daughter, tomorrow you will stop
bearing my name. You will be happily married to the man you love. Dont miss me because I have fulfilled my purpose, it is now time for you to start fulfilling yours.
.
From your childhood, I have raised you well by God's grace but before you say I do, there are few things I need to tell you about living with a man and being married. Do you remember when you wrote your WAEC and University Entry Exams? You came to me and I gave you 20,000 Naira for the registrations? Well, even though I gave them to you then, the monies were not from me directly. I know you always thought I've been paying your fees. The truth is, I was broke those times… But your mother gave me the
monies, She could have given it to you but
she decided to hand them over to me to give to them to you as her husband.
.
Always support your husband. Some times. things will get tough, he will get frustrated. Even though he acts tough, in his mind he has fears… He fear you may not value him anymore because he has fallen. That is the time to get behind him and support him!
.
The best way to show your husband you
love him is to respect him! You may argue
with him, you may disagree but at the
end of the day, let him know he has your respect.
.
Do you remember the days I screamed at
your mother on several ocassions? What did she do? She was quiet!
Do you also remember the day she screamed at me? What did I do? I was quiet! Even whem am the man. The truth is she later apologized to me later those nights before we slept for the night.
.
My daughter learn to be quiet; sometimes,
when your husband is angry, when one
person is hot, the other should be cool. If
two are always screaming at the same time, that is how big problems start in
marriages.
.
The first thing to know about your husband are his likes, mostly his favourite food! If he has more than one, then keep them at the back of your mind. Dont let him ask for it, always prepare it/them for him.
.
There was a day your mother caught me
touching a lady’s hand affectionately. I
was lust after that lady, but I was not
yet cheating on your mum. When she saw
us, she didn't fight The lady, she quietly left. And that day, I was afraid of going home because 'hell will break' lose. But when I got home, she said nothing. She served me my food and Guilt toke control over me. I started begging and explaining.
From that day, I was careful and I never looked at a woman lustfully. Who knows? If she had fought and threatened me… Maybe I could have run away from the fight into the arms of the lady.
.
Sometimes Silence brings better solution than fight. Forget those Romantic Novels you read, remember those Indian and American love movies? Also remember those too sweet Nollywood films on African Magic? Forget them! Don’t expect your married life to be that way. Life is different from fiction.
.
The last thing I want to tell you…. Do you
remember how you were born? After our
wedding, things were tough and your mum had to start some petty-trading to support the the family. I was working as well. I get home 6:00pm, while she gets home 8:00pm tired. But when we get to bed… she will not refuse me my night food (but i was sensible not to demand for it always as an understanding husband). That was how you and your siblings were born. Don't form a habit of denying your husband s*x when the need arises. Be a good wife and don't talk your husband out. Becareful of the kind of friends you keep if need be.
.
Lastly, don't forget God as couples and as individuals. Pray for your children and husband everyday, and God will continue to bless your union/family. Your marriage shall be for better and nothing will seperate you two.

A Celebration Of His Life In Us
.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God (1 John 5:13).
.
Today , many around the world are commemorating the birth of Jesus. While Christmas tags along symbolic decorations, giving and receiving of gifts, family and other social gatherings, beyond these excitements and celebrations however, it’s important not to lose sight of the very purpose for which Christ came! Christmas is about who Jesus is, and what He came to do. He didn’t come to establish a religion. He didn’t come to merely show us how to do good things, or how to live a good life; it’s much more than that!
.
In John 10:10, He said, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." Jesus came for a purpose, and that purpose was to give us life—the God kind of life. He made that statement because we didn’t have the kind of life that God wanted us to have. The Greek word translated "life" is "Zoe"; it’s the God-life; the very life and essence of divinity. It’s the true, indestructible, imperishable and incorruptible life of God. It’s the transcendent life!
.
God made humans, but He wanted us to have His kind of life. His plan, according to the Scriptures, was that Jesus would be the one to give us that life, and that we should receive it through faith, because God is a faith-God. Hebrews 11:6 tells us, "But without faith it is impossible to please him…." So, in celebrating Christmas, we celebrate the life and nature of God that we’ve received through faith. We celebrate His glory that’s now revealed in our lives! We celebrate the triumphant life that the birth, vicarious death, burial, and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ has made available to us. Blessed be His Name forever!
.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into oneness and vital union with you through Christ Jesus, who has made me a participator in the divine nature; a distributor of the divine life. The life of God in me makes me indestructible, imperishable, incorruptible and impregnable; it makes me more than a man. Therefore, I live victoriously today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

@OP, abeg help me check if the Filling Station wey dey your street dey sell fuel and ask how much per litre. Because my phone now need fuel.

Let me still repeat this on this thread:
Attract a lady with your 'Body/materials' soon she will leave you. But when you attract a lady with your MIND, OMG! You will be the one begging her to leave you..
.
It's difficult for a girl to act on those points OP mentioned above and still don't love you, no matter how 'fake' the girl is.

Seventeen:
See dem , forming big boys. We d babes know hw far naa, but no wahala shaa, afterall we dont mind wen u guyz form big boyz in public, wen d chips are down, we know u all are babies.

Sometimes, the grasses always seem to be greener on the other side but we should also beware of deception.

Simple:
''When you attract a lady with your Body/Materials soon she will leave you. But when you attract her with your Mind, Oh my God, you will be the one begging her to leave you.''

thelish:
U know how many wey I nor know wey lack sense? U make it sound like all Sophia have wisdom

It all depends on the 'Individual'.

I was sent to a Hair Dressing Saloon yesterday and i just met all the Girls in there talking about Sambo Dazuki. One said: ''The man is very quiet and another said: The young Hausa man Handsome shaaa''
.
It was after i read OP No 6 that i got the understanding why they were Discussing about him passionately. Sometimes 'Owo ni koko!'

okey1074:
Sharon was the name of my ex-wife, so that one is ruled out completely. I like Charlotte and Annabell.

Thanks to everyone.

You remember the Story in the Bible how God changed the name of Abraham to Abram and that of Jacob to Isreal and how both men's lives changed as their names were changed.

I would advice you and your wife to know the 'Real and Intending Meaning' of the Names you finally decided to name Her because in our Society (Nigeria) for and the World at large, (Christiand) or not names are so important and it has its SPIRITUAL implications whether you know/like it or not.
.
Don't just name your child any name because you feel the name is nice or generally acceptable. If you child is so important, so does her name because even God recognizes him or her with the name you name her.
'Remember how God called the names of Men and Women in Bible days (he didn't name them by Himself, their Parents did)'.
.
I would advice maybe you choose the name: SOPHIA (It's just a suggestion). It means Wisdom and as you know, it means God's Wisdom. ''Remember that WISDOM brings everything to you.''
.
Or better still just click on the link below and make a choice by Deeply looking at the meaning, not just the Sweetness of the name.

I really don't know much about being married though, but at least am learning the needful here on ways to make things work out right before, during and after ours.
.
All of the Comments above me all made 'some' meaningful points, positive/negative about White Women and their Nigerian counterparts. But for me, i think it's all about individuals and their different MINDSET of the Nigerian Man, Woman and the Whites respectively.

Eddodoh:
Thanks so much. Your assertion on the second paragraph is true. She do not tolerate cheating. She make sure she satisfy me & wouldn't cheat as well but any suspicious move I make. I am in for a show!

Hmmm!!!! I must explain & she must follow up to ensure dat nothin fishy happen. Then, I had to adjust by force cos she made to forget abt other gals. I dnt even think of another woman.

The day she used my fone to call her cousin sister & immediately deleted the dialled number in my presence. I was shocked!

Talking about well-mannered, that is where she got me love her the more.

Nice one bro...

jejus !!

Be responsible dude. Can you address Him like that to His face? That Name deserves Respect.

I just want to make common sense which is not very common to you.

Sorry to say this.
.
But i think this is just a way of Painting all Ladies dirty.
.
If you read very well, you'll notice that this OP has no RESPECT for his beautiful, loving and caring Girl Friend who just want to save his life.
.
How can a Responsible guy come online and be sharing Her GF privacy. It pisses me off when all what she does for you to make you happy and feel loved, but for you to come here and Share her privacy.
Ladies need their respect!
.
This is immature.
Kindly make ammend Mr. stupidity!

@Eddodoh the OP.
Let me be truthful to you.
First i will say 'it's more better when a woman Love you more than you love her' because when a Woman Love you, she can even commit suic*de because of your mata and she will make every necessary effort to make you Comfortable, Happy and Satisfied in and outside marriage. Mark my words.
.
Secondly, am not from Kogi, but i tell you the truth, i have been there and have always been around Kogi women. They are well mannered. But 'some' can be very deadly to some extent when you provoke the devil in them mostly (when you're cheating on them but you have to know that people differs).
.
Lastly, concerning religion. It's not right for couples to have different religions. It's even wrong when they are Christians for example, and attend different Church where they hear different things.
.
(You actually cannot change anybody yourself, only God can). So seek God's face concerning this. Pray about this first and let God lead you to make the right choice.
But i think it's a good thing if she become a Christian just like you are. Because Salvation is the most important thing here on Earth, no matter what.
.
Don't try to convince her with your senses, but let the Word of God do that for you by opening Bible verses for her to see for herself what it means to be Saved and be called a Christian. When you do these things, as time goes on you will start to reap the reward associated with this.
.
NOTE:
This is not going to be easy because you're dealing with a Woman and Religion. It's gonna be very tough but "you'll succeed n reap if you faint not."

I hope this help.
