₦airaland Forum

I'm wondering what's the general state of marketing in Nigeria as at this moment. No doubt the traditional marketing concept as we know it - interuptive, loud and business centric - is now obsolete world over, super costly and pretty ineffective, not to mention the fact that it has lots of untrackable parts.

Hence, the buzz word in the marketing world of the future is INBOUND, and that future is here with us already. But the question is: is Nigeria catching up? Are we ready for it? So my proposition is that we should talk about this stuff called Inbound Marketing.

Both pros and peers in the subject matter are welcome to post their comments.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you all!!!

kpolli:
OP you want a wise answer but placed this in NL kids section??

But on a serious note, he is a pastor; I can't advice him better than the holy spirit... He should listen to Him...

Plus I don't agree in accepting a child that isn't his when the real father is alive.... He should not be roped into a lie, then the mother will lie to the child that he is the father and then years later the truth comes out.... He will be the pastor who lied, the woman should realize the child has a father and should realize that the father will one day come back to her child's life.... The pastor can take care of the child as his but that is not his first child...

And about the virgin girlfriend, what is her offer now?

Thank you @Kpolli

I really appreciate your MATURE views. Please on a side note I'd be glad to know the best section to move this topic to. I actually posted here thinking that I was following the rules of the forum not knowing that the section is infested with children.

Anyways as I said in the story the first girl wants to get back with the pastor right now with marriage in view however the pastor is leaning towards the second girl and wasn't giving the first girl enough audience.

Secondly, (I presumed that ALL the COMMENTATORS would infer this from the story but it seems most were too immature to even understand the premise) the pastor is convinced to move on with the second girl WHICH AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH.

He did not ask me to seek for advice anywhere for him. I'm only doing this to get his attention and hopefully make him have a rethink before it's too late, yes even though it is at the risk of loosing his friendship if he eventually find my little post here unacceptable.

I've not even told him about this post yet. I'm waiting for the accumulation of REASONABLE and ACTIONABLE advice but unfortunately the NL kids seem to be beclouding those with their empty rants.

But thanks again for your gem

@Blackett what we want here is WISE and UNBIASED advice not name calling. If the pastor says the second girl is ALMOST-NAIVE it's our DUTY to ACCEPT that label as a FACT and NOT QUESTION it. After all virtually everything we have in the story here is FROM THE PASTOR'S POINT OF VIEW.

You DO NOT know any of the characters.

Please once again if you don't have any REASONABLE advice to give you can at least BE SENSIBLE enough to keep quiet instead of corrupting the thread with toxic and NON HELPFUL words.

Thanks.

_________________________WARNING_________________________

Please this is not a joke. It's happening right now as we speak. So only thoughtful and ACTIONABLE responses are to be given. Please if you're not pretty sure that your advice is super good it would DEFINITELY be better to ONLY scroll through this thread, and just read and enjoy without talking. Thanks in advance for cooperating.

___________________NOW THE SITUATION___________________

A 36 years old pastor had been dating a young girl since the past eight years. He met this girl in her late teens and was actually very instrumental in shaping the young lady's moral perception and persona - though he NEVER supported the girl financially all those years. And that was because he was very, very poor, unschooled but probably better educated than many of our graduates today.

To give a few background, he single handedly guided the girl through the process of gaining admission to university after about three years of waiting. He also helped the girl develop self-confidence which eventually helped her to become a VP at her campus fellowship among other leadership roles.

Now the girl has graduated from the university, but her family opposed her intention to marry this pastor which ultimately contributed to their breakup late last year before her graduation proper.

Now an important point to remember is that this girl was a virgin when the pastor started dating her eight years ago, and according to what I heard, she's still a virgin up till now as a graduate about to go for her youth service.

Now the twist is that this pastor met another girl online early this year who lives in another state quite far from where the pastor is based but that's okay. But what's scary is that this second lady is a complete opposite of the first girl both in good and bad sides.

- She's a single mother with a three month old baby. (Though She's a graduate too about to go for service.) But the first girl is still a virgin.

- The first lady is a complex and classy type but the second lady is simple and almost-naive house wife material, according to what the pastor told me.

-The pastor has known the first girl and her family for years but he has not even met this second girl face to face.

- The first girl doesn't talk much and would rather bottle-up her emotion than let it show freely, which kind of drives the pastor nuts most times. But the second girl is said to be very, very expressive both vocally and emotionally.

Now the oddity is that the pastor has not only proposed marriage VIRTUALLY to this second lady but had actually fixed a wedding date and made lots of profound promises to her WITHOUT seeing her face to face.

Now I must also point out that the pastor's background is strikingly similar to this new girl's background based on what he told me. And I think that's where the stronghold is, even though he may not want to hear that.

Now the twist again is that the first girl WANTS THE PASTOR BACK as in right now. And the pastor is currently having a squabble with the new girl because somehow the girl wants him to accept her little son as his own son in a way the pastor thinks is kind of too demanding. The pastor told me in confidence that accepting another man's son as his first son is a big chunk to swallow but he wouldn't mind giving it a try if not that the girl is kind of making it appear like it's a condition for marrying her.

The reason I'm asking for your advice is that this pastor feels confident to move on with this second girl which I think is not a smart idea, but he's the pastor here.

What I want to do is to get a thread of unbiased advice and then try to get him to read it up.

Please let the wisdom juice of brilliant advice begin to flow now.

Thank you so much for participating.

NOTE: For those who are picking on the pastor, let me make few things categorically clear to you.

1) The pastor is NOT asking for your advice. For goodness sake READ the story and COMPREHEND it before commenting.

2) The second girl was in DEPRESSION when the pastor met her (because her supposed fiancé dumped her on the day of their traditional marriage). The pastor inspired her to come out of depression and get closer to God which she did. And she actually joined a major Pentecostal church in her state AND EVEN GAVE HER LIFE TO CHRIST, as the pastor told me. It was after all these events that the pastor made his intention for marriage known.

3) The first girl wants to get back with the pastor and has called severally.

4) I posted this here to help the pastor see the matter from an unreligious but still REASONABLE perspective.

5) I'm pretty sure that Nairaland still has a bunch of intelligent people who are ABLE TO READ the story, UNDERSTAND it AND RESPOND to it in the proper context without insulting anyone.

missdebs:
op is looking for virgin to marry after spoiling many girls kpomo

Really? Another random reaction!

Seems the post is hitting harder
to home than intended. No offence
meant though. Just a simple challenge.

So if this kind of stuff is too rough for
your sense of humor, just do us both a
favor and move on silently OK?
Don't go raising toxic emotional dust on
my thread, when you're not even qaulified
to respond to the topic.

pinkycute:
I don't really get the meaning of this thread
Are you actually looking for Virgin on social media or What
Op, I think you're high on dry weed
Mhctewwwwwww ( walk out of thread ) #Sad
Just wasted my Mb

You are entitled to your little pinky opinion, Ms. Reckless.

The above link points to a pointless thread on this forum that
prides itself as virgins' lounge.

To me there are only two reasons why a Nigerian woman
will choose to reatain her virginity until marriage:

1. She's too ugly that no guy looks her way.
2. She is still two small and naive.

In any case you cannot see a single lady of 28 years or more anywhere
on this forum who is still a virgin. Most of them will rather tie a guy
down with unwanted pregnancy than stay chaste.

I DARE YOU TO PROVE ME WRONG HERE IF YOU ARE STILL A VIRGIN
AT 28 OR MORE.

"I am the son of Bishop David Oyedepo Satan Keep Off!" Now it is no longer I am the Child of God! We worship OUR "Men/Women of God" Its it okay? (What do I KNOW )
Are you surprised ? Whenever I hear Worshipers screaming in the name of the God of So and So, or such and such, it grieves my spirit, I have heard that several times that i had to take my Bible and leave the Church immediately sometimes, it is so annoying that every Prayer seems to get a signature of the idolized Human god before the mention of the Name JESUS. we seems to have come to the Climax of deifying men with this stickers Which followers of the Oyedepo Church may have designed (Who Knows) with or without his knowledge. It sure shows the level of ignorance of the definition of IDOLATRY which God condemns You Hear Names Like Daddy GO, Mummy GO, Soon we may have to add SON GO, UNCLE GO, AND SISTER GO. Nigerians and their importation

Both of you are GROSSLY in ERROR because of your CHRONIC SPIRITUAL IGNORANCE (or should I say pride?)

Criticizing a master who has proofs is the second definition of insanity .

Job vacancies in Nigeria, just like in other countries (both the developed and developing)
are surprisingly but successfully taken by aggressive job hunters not some bright and fine
graduates with impeccable qualifications. The years of mediocrity are far gone.

Get it right, no slight intended. Your qualifications – no matter how great – do not entitle
you to jobs in Nigeria. Yes, it may earn you an interview but NEVER a job. The only thing
that earns you a good job here is either your unique capacity and core competencies, or
some kind of ‘long legs’. Let the truth be told.

If you don’t have the proverbial ‘long legs’ you better get proactively serious; and learn
exactly how to create a CV that would expose all your core competences; and powerfully
match your unique capacity with the unique needs of each of your potential employers.

That’s one of the major marks of distinction between job seeking and job hunting.
