Send her the birthday message and make sure you get her phone as promised. She is probably waiting to see if you will still keep to your word. And if she doesn't appreciate it cheerup, it doesn't make you less a man. simplemach: Fellow nairalanders, i need your advice. For over one month now i have not been in talking terms with my girlfriend, thats to say we are not in good terms. But since last year when everything was ok between us i had promised to buy her a new fone on her birthday which happens to be 2 days from valentines day thats on the 16th of February. My question to you guys now is, should i go ahead to buy the fone and send to her on her birthday or i should just let everything pass by? I also plan to send her a birthday msg on that day, Is this ok. Pls i need matured advice. |

No be by force na. He should leave her alone abba!He should give her time and focus on just being good friend to her. Atimes guys confuse a lady being friendly with them as attraction. She no want boyfriend (at least for now) so let her be. Shikena |
Romance › Re: These Girls Are Something Else by PLENTYNAIR(m): 8:41pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
negrito: I've never in my life believed that what people said about Nigerian girls were true until today. I've noticed the way some of these girls act when someone has money. A girl asked me today if I had a girlfriend and I said yes. Then she asked what tribe she was and I told her she wasn't Nigerian and her attitude towards me changed. She even went as far as holding meetings with some of these other ex prostitutes in the area to try and get me trapped. Is it by force to date a Nigerian girl now? A nairalander even said Nigeria girls are all like that and I think I have to agree with him. Nigerian girls are definitely not like that. *wondering what you were doing around ex prostitutes* Am I getting it all wrong?  |

Fit2Rule: I have been very happy that the presidential election would hold on the 14 of February. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I told my girlfriend on Friday morning that I'll be traveling home for the elections because my childhood friend is contesting a house of assembly seat. Saturday evening, events took another turn as Jega announced the postponement of the elections. This morning, the first whatsapp chat I received as my phone data service switched on, was this picture from my girlfriend. I have been thinking of what to tell her so that I can travel out of town during the valentine. Anyone with a good idea should help me out please. Are you really avoiding your girl because of val? |
Romance › Re: * 10 Signs You Should Break-up with Your Girlfriend * by PLENTYNAIR(m): 8:25pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
Point number 3 is the only point that has my attention. Relationships can't survive without trust. When trust is estranged then its no use moving on. *I like to be in a relationship that's alive and heading somewhere* koolet: Not all relationships are meant to last- a rather harsh reality in this constantly changing world. Breakups happen due to many reasons with the incidence of breakups only increasing over time. As such, men and women, both have different reasons to end an ongoing relationship. In this article, our focus is on the male side of things. We look at some signs you should breakup with your girlfriend. We won't be delving into the details of how to tackle with relationship issues. Our focus will be on signs you should dump her right now. Here are 10 signs you should dump her right now. Read on...
1. SHES SECREATIVE AND LIES TO YOU OFTEN.. This is one of the first signs its time to dump your girlfriend. If she lies more often than not and has lied on major issues more than a few times, its about time you took the decision of breaking up with her.
2. She Cheated On You Cheating on you isn't something that deserves second thought in making a decision. If she has cheated on you, it'd only be wise for you to let go. Your loyalty was taken for a ride, true, but the ball is in your court now to finish the game.
3. You just Don't Trust Her.. If for whatever reason you don't trust her, you must definitely contemplate breaking up with her. If you delay it, you will be the one to face the wrath of your own indecisiveness. So if you don't trust her for whatever reason, it'd be a rather wise decision to dump her.
4.She Clings On To You Too Much... The best kind of woman for a man is somebody who is independent, responsible and mature enough to handle things on her own. Of course a real man will not allow her to fight problems single handedly but that isn't the point here. If she is too clingy, over dependent and fails to pay heed to the meaningful stuff you say, you must consider dumping her before your energy is completely sapped
5. SHE STEALS AND SQUANDERS YOUR MONEY.. having to date a nag seem more managable compare to a criminal, God help you if you are stuck with such a woman. Chivalry, they believe, is a compulsive obsession every guy must possess. You eat a meal, you’re axed. You go shopping, you’re axed. You talk on the phone…can there BE anyone else who can be axed?
6.YOUR SIBLINGS AND YOUR BEST FRIENDS DONT LIKE HER: its no use dating her when you cant show her proudly to your siblings and loved ones trust me you are breaking yourself emotionally
7.DISRESPECTFUl OR ABUSIVE Who wants to spend their life hen-pecked, yelled at, disrespected or abused? Not you. Take a long hard look at the last fight you had - did she fight fair, or was it a knock-down, no-holds-barred event? If she doesn’t respect you now, at the beginning, she’s sure not going to respect you later - it’s time to go
8. You are unhappy being in a relationship with her: If you are actually unhappy being in a relationship with her, getting sick of the sight of her, cry yourself to sleep at night and find yourself plotting about ways to get rid of her, it’s definitely time to dump your girlfriend
9. You avoid her phone calls. You see her name appear on your phone and either sigh, roll your eyes or break down in tears. lol ma guy decide fast for even my dads calls dont scare me as such 10. SHE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT HER PAST RELATIONSHIPS She does this when you people are a couple of months into a relation, it is understandable; most girls have a tough time getting over their exes. But be on your guard if she makes this a habit. Worse still, if she insists on staying in touch with her ex- boyfriend(s), that is the death-knell for you guys. For what reason women do this, we men know not; do women not understand that it can jeopardize their present relation? If they do, do they not care? If they do not care, why did they bother to get into a relation in the first place? No person can love two people at the same time (forget whatever gold-plated poop that Twilight feeds you). If her inclination towards her past is threatening to tilt your relationship out of balance, the time has come for you to show her the door.

How do you register for taxes, which agencies do you register with and how do you start paying taxes and VAT? Any advice on these please After getting your Business certificate visit any office of the federal inland revenue where you will obtain a TIN (Tax Identification Number).
