Romance › Re: 8 Things You Should Never Do To Your Husband by poik(m): 10:34am On Jan 06, 2015
Mprex:
Erm... One of my NL admirers (clevvermindkiss) created a thread on things husbands should not do to their wives and i think i should produce a counter thread for that.

So these are the 8 things i feel ladies should desist from as married women

1: Dont think you are the Project: its true that he has to woo you, chase you, court you and all that but once you both are married. You become his helper. Dont ever have the mentality that he married you to pet and care for you. Its true he will do that but that is not the main reason for the marriage. You are not his life project rather you are to assist him achieve and attain his life project.

2- Dont Turn Him Against His People: dont turn the mother that bore him for nine months into a witch in his eyes pls. His relatives shouldnt become his enemies because you married him. Dont destroy the family relationship.

3- Dont Try To Change Him: You met him that way. You loved him that way. Why are you trying to change him now?. If you met him drinking alchohol, brace yourself to put up with it. Dont try to change him. You are not the HolySpirit.

4- Dont Be Too Familiar: dont be too familiar with your husband. Queen Vashti lost her crown to Esther because she was too familiar with her husband. Her husband sent for her and she refused to go. Dont get too familiar. Dont forget he is still your head. Still respect him.

5- Dont Stop Looking Good: this one is a major one. He met you looking sexy, fabolous and great. Dont stop looking that way. Even after having kids, hit the gym and still keep fit. Dont forget that he sees fresh babes every day as he goes out. Men are moved by what they see. Dont stop looking good.

6- Help Him On Bed: lipsrsealed i wont talk much on this one but please dont make !sex! boring for him.

7- Dont Nag: pls dont nag biko. Instead of nagging, pray to God. God can change his heart, you cant change his heart.

8- Dont Try To Train Your Husband: you are expected to love your husband not to train him. If his mother that has been with him for the first part of his life cant change him on certain things, dont think that you can. Just help him.

Romance › Re: Six Things You Should Never Do For A Man Even When In Love by poik(m): 10:32am On Dec 03, 2014
I do not know if this applies to marriage, and if the op is a man or woman. I don't think I agree with all said here. So if the woman has a leaking tap as an excuse for a mouth, she should remain like that to make her unique? I agree that love should make me want to listen to her side, but I won't tolerate a woman shoving all these things u wrote in my face as something I must accept. It is not everything she enjoys doing that is right, and merges into my idea of a family's running and operation. Whether we want to accept it or not, the man was made by God a symbol of authority. Imagine my wife spending time with her family at my expense, in the name of being unique, and I am expected to swallow it? I will assume responsibility for my family o

Ilekokonit:
If you say my assertion may not be wrong, what is the problem with speaking the undiluted expectations of most men who are raised in Africa with proper african values huh as per the rigid aspect, i believe that if you don't stand for something, you will fall for any thing and also, thou shalt not follow a multitude to commit evil.

Thats one thing like about the way Jamaican men and women interrelate. The Jamaican woman NEVER tries to usurp their mans authority. If they do, gbege go happen for that house thats if a Jamaican man wants to be tied down to one woman in the first place.

There might actually be a lot of wisdom in the Jamaican mans refusal to be tied down by one woman. But we Naija men who try our level best to raise a happy family with one wife and kids and we get so disrespected by these our "educated" feminist wives that you are left wondering if one should instead go for a non-fetish illiterate woman in order to have a peaceful long life.

Nowadays repeated societal misnomers have given rise to a situation where a lot of young African men have forgotten or don't know that the man is supposed to be the head of the home and that a ship is meant to have one captain.

To the feminist's, I say Teacher Don't Teach me Nonsense. It is simply unafrican for a woman to wear the trousers and give the man the skirt. Oloun maje. God forbid !!!

Because every woman is shouting their man down and a lot of men are accepting it doesn't mean it is right or the men are accepting it in all sincerity.

Finally, women stop hen pecking your men if you hope for the union to stand the test of time.

Definition :- A hen pecked husband is a man whose wife never stops picking on or criticising him.

To dominate or harass (one's husband) with persistent nagging.

You are so spot on op. On point. One million likes. I just have to agree with your assertions. I keep saying only a gold digger(no man is a wussy; I stopped thinking dat a long time ago) would put up with insubordination from his wife. Them ladies keep forming independent, but no one can circumvent a natural course.
For me, there is nothing I can't do for a submissive woman.

Health › Re: Young Guys With Grey Hair: How Do You Cope? by poik(m): 8:52am On Nov 12, 2014
BlueMurder:
The inspiration for this thread comes from Lizzymomma's thread on bearded ladies and their travails.

It seems as though more and more young men (myself inclusive) are greying up prematurely. I am on the right side of 30 at the moment but judging by the frenetic rate at which my black hair's being displaced, i could be all grey by the time i cross to the "other side" shocked

Initially, i used to be bothered about all the snide remarks about being an old man, being accused of age falsification and all that, and i was even tempted at a point to start dyeing my hair. However, i now take all the unpleasant remarks on the chin as i can't quarrel with nature abeg grin

So, greying young men, how do you cope?

Ladies, would you consider marrying a young man who has the hair of a 60 year old?
@op, its nature. Every form of perversion is displeasing to God. Rock the grey hair joor!
You will be suprised to find the number of ladies who would swoon over u just for that. Whatever will make me dye hair wey God give me?
To the ladies...well..all I know is that when it comes to putting food on the table, and performing manly duties, I do not think you would go looking for a man who looks good and young.

I have answered everything. Just a simple answer you cannot decipher. I typed 'long epistles' to emphasize my answer. I didn't fail English and can NEVER fail it, both at undergtaduate and postgraduate level. the man's duty is to love the woman, and her duty is to revere the man.

Family › Re: Does Being A " Good African Wife"= Suffering? by poik(m): 3:56pm On Nov 06, 2014
[quote author=Sophyrocks post=27691226]That is the Nigerian context of a good african wife, a good wife material. she must be willing to put her life on the line for the sake of her family, most of the time for her husband. she must be willing to swallow all sorts of stds, must be willing to go through emotional stress for long periods using prayer as an antidote for any problem. The longer the stress, the more stronger and virtuous she is seen to be. My people, did the bible ever describe a virtuous woman as one who suffers? Is God in supporrt of the suffering of humans?

She must be willing to be a deaf and dumb woman somewhat equivalent to a puppet or baby doll. Yet She must still be the one to hold the family together no matter what (now you wonder where the function of the so called 'Head' of family comes in). She must break her back and go through all sorts of iniquities so that she can be viewed as a 'wife material'. To the average nigerian, Marriage is pain, pain is love. That is why you see mentally unstable men who deliberately make their wives and even children, suffer. Sometimes it is done to prove a point. Such men believe that since their mothers suffered in the hands of their fathers, therefore, their wives must suffer. that is why you hear statements like "Our mothers went through this or that, why can't you go through the same"? Always comparing women with their mothers. My people, can two people from different backgrounds ever be alike? is it possible for two generations that are apart to be simiilar in choices and orientations?

After going through all these stress and tribulations, she is still expected not to change physically but to remain a sweet 16 and her s*e*x*ual prowess in bed must be top notch. My people, is this ever possible?



Anyone who reads this will be quick to sympathize and take sides with you. But the reality is that MOST times, this scenario of suffering according to you is the woman's side alone. A deeper dig will reveal something entirely different.

When you say a woman must be deaf and dumb, deaf and dumb to what? We all know how desperately too much TV and westernisation is trying and succeeding at turning our wives to emperors and regents in their homes, and you expect the man to stomach it? When the ruling is done both subtly and emotionally, using all manner of weapons, only a gold digger wouldn't put up resistance.

The fact that no two people from different generations will be d same does not imply that there are no benchmarks that are timeless. Challenging your husband under any guise is wrong and will be resisted.
The proverbs 31 kind of woman is meek, hardworking, temperate, and considerate. I didn't add respectful. It is not suffering. And who says the task of catering for a home is not a suffering of sorts too?

So that means you are perfect. you can do all of what is in the Op for a woman perfectly yes?

I still maintain that perfection in the parlance of the op IS possible. Not everyone is acccultured and valueless. That's why simple things like respect will seem so Stone Age to some people. I do not believe it ought to be so.

There is nothing unrealistic about that list, my sister. The list may be long, but the watchword there is sincerity, openness,submissiveness, respect, and regard for her man. Long life and happy marriage is not a Stone Age phenomenon;it is everlasting and timeless, and these are the ingredients. The problem is that we have been to ingrained and imbroiled in too much Westernisation. That's the truth. And what's more, these are the simple tips to a successful marriage. The op is helping ladies out.

Romance › Re: A Letter To Single Guys by poik(m): 9:01am On Oct 18, 2014
kentozybee:
A Letter To Single Men
Hey guys, how are you doing? How has life fared
with you lately?


The hustle and bustle of becoming a man ain't
an easy job, I must confess! But with God and
diligence in fulfilling purpose, we'll get there.


I write this letter to you to point out some things
which you ought to know before marriage or as
you continue in that relationship.


This letter is strictly for men, not boys or players.
First concerning how you treat ladies. I know
quite alright that ladies are emotional only few
are not. Please, don't take advantage of that and
inflict emotional pain on them.


If you know she's not going to be your wife,
there’s no point promising her heaven and earth
just to get her in bed.
If you think you're smart, your smartness cannot
prevent the nemesis or daring consequences that
would one day catch up with you.


It's better you avoid the consequences of an
action because of its few minutes pleasure than
to face its agony and regrets in the near future.
What are you doing about your life and future? I
know it's trendy to go clubbing and indulge in all
youthful exuberance. See, life doesn't go on a
stretch forever and every time wasted cannot be
recovered.


If at age 30 or close to it, you haven't define your
life or you're still depending on friends, family or
relatives, you need to work on yourself.


Where do you put God in your life? Consider God
in the time of your youth before it's too late.
Many of you who turned back on God will
someday run back to Him for help. If you cannot
dance to the devil's music, it's better you start
learning God's steps.
Hear this guys, love isn't sex! Don't tell a lady to
prove her love to you because you want to have a
'taste' of her. I know everyone is going haywire
with premarital sex but you can choose to
abstain.


Apart from it being sin against God, it will make
you vulnerable to STDs and some problems
'rubber' cannot prevent.
It doesn't matter if she calls you names if you
choose to abstain, or you become an object of
mockery amongst your friends, run for your dear
life.


Think about your future and life hereafter. Don't
give your strength to strange women, preserve it
for your wife.


Have you discovered your purpose in life? That
very reason why God has created you?
Jumping from one lady to another without
discovering your purpose on earth will make you
miserable and waste away in life.


Know your purpose in life and be on track to
attain it's fulfillment before you think of going
into a relationship. It's not difficult, it would
only prevent you from distraction.


Watch the company of friends you keep. Are they
contributing positively to your life or they are
emptying you of virtues and opportunities?
It's not a must you hang out with friends if you
do not benefit from them. You can stand alone
with God and make lasting impact than to keep
dozens of friends with no footprints in the sand
of time.


Man up guys! Build your financial, spiritual,
mental and emotional life. Only a crazy man
beats a woman even if she pushed you to the
wall. There is a button of patience to press to
control your anger.
Work on your mental development. Read good
books to acquire knowledge and skill. Get
intimate with God so that your wife wouldn't
become a victim of false prophets or you become
a spiritual babe in handling matters of life at the
homefront.


My guy, you're going to be a father someday.
Don't do the things you wouldn't be proud of
your son to emulate or would want anyone to do
to your daughter.


If you wouldn't want to leave a bad legacy for
your unborn children, don't tread the path now.
I'd have love to tell you more but I believe you
know the importance of life and time and I'm
constrained due to space.


Don't waste away chasing every Tom, Dick and
Harry for sex. Conserve your energies and
channel it into a more productive cause in life.
I hope the few wise ones would treasure this
letter, share it or send it to a friend.


Thank you for your anticipated response as you
make amends in areas where necessary.
I like this. I like good things.

Good reason y every man should think twice before helping a woman who isn't his: wife or sister to become successful in life- its always a waste of time and resources!! Help your fellow men who will always remember and even help u back when u need them.

Most women are ungrateful and never remember past once they become a bit successful in life!

All the guys killing themselves and fighting each other cos of women, take note cos ladies don't care about you aside the help and assistanc u can offer them!

And to think that Linda Ikeji has been busy bragging that no man ever helped her became who she is makes her so arrogant, ungrateful and pompous!!! Gosh

I seriously agree with you bruv. Only help her if its something you are willing to forget, for me even if a man forgets, that of a woman pains most!

I always say this: every successful woman u see was made by a man- take it or leave it!!

For those people screaming gender equality, the woman lost any such thing the day she lay with that serpent to bear Cain. Its there in Genesis 3. So cut the argument, there will be nothing like that till Jesus comes. I am sorry but its the clear, unclothed and saving truth.
I don't subscribe to cheating from whatever sex in the maRriage, but even the Scripture is harder on women than on men. That's the way God made it. That's also the reason a woman CANNOT preach, that's in the church of the saints o.
In balancing it also, the only Biblical reason a man can put away his wife is for fornication, and NOT adultery.
Cheating is bad and punishable, and causes a whole lot of damage to the emotional, physical and psychological backbone of that institution.
But while we are at it supposing the person who has calculated, analysed and thought over sleeping with an alien, dies in the process? Where will the person end up?
Or has it not happened before?

Education › Re: Two UNILORIN Students Get Merrill Lynch Appointments! by poik(m): 1:21pm On Sep 23, 2014
[quote author=HoluwadareY]Two students of the University of Ilorin, Abeeb Adebayo and Ajoke Ogunshola, have been offered full time jobs with one of the world's top financial institutions, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch, London, after undergoing a nine-week internship training programme with the Bank in London.
Ogunsola, a graduating student in the Department of Counsellor Education, and Adebayo, a 400L student of the Department of Accounting, were selected to participate in the 2014 summer undergraduate internship having started out as “Campus Ambassadors”. The programme is targeted at engaging undergraduate students from select universities across the country regardless of their disciplines or courses of study, but with flair for Finance.
In an interview with Unilorin Bulletin, Ogunsola said, “In my intern class, we were close to 200 from different continents of the world; Nigeria and Ghana represented Africa. Students were selected from the best five universities in each of these countries in order to meet the standard.”
Ogunsola, who interned with the Global Market Division of the Bank, disclosed that she interned on the Commodities Desk and the Equities. On the contributions of the University of Ilorin to her success, she said, “I would say the University of Ilorin is still the best for many reasons. First, I was here for three and half years, not even up to four years- I had an academic session with no negative break whatsoever; there was no strike. I don't think any other Federal University can say that. I learnt in a conducive environment and I have professors that were willing to answer my questions. I think if I have not been in this kind of environment, I might not have been able to do so well because the challenges came and we are able to deal with it and above all, the University of Ilorin has a disciplined environment.
“By the grace of God, I should be graduating with a Second Class Upper in Counsellor Education; after which, I will undergo the national service year and then go back to London as a full time employee of Bank of America Merrill Lynch” Ogunsola said.
On his part, Adebayo said: “I gained a lot of experience that I wouldn't have learnt in the four walls of the classroom; an experience that would last me a lifetime. I learnt things like paying attention to detail, possessing good communication skills. It is not just enough to write it on your Curriculum Vitae, those are the things that I learnt on the job; the ability to work under pressure really matters. I was taught how to use Excel in the class, power point presentations and all that, but I never really had enough practice. On the job, I get to learn a lot of that, learn a lot of shortcuts in Excel, Power point, how to build a model, how to analyse financial statements properly, and how to predict what's going to happen to a particular company, value and many more.”
In his reaction, the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Abayomi Omotesho, said, “We are very proud of them. They have represented the University very well. When we first got an invitation last year to attend the programme in Lagos, we were one of the few universities in the country that had that privilege.”
He said, “I think they have portrayed the University well that they can compete with their peers anywhere; for them to have gone from this relatively backward background –talking about the infrastructure in the country, and to have performed so well. They have placed the name of the University on the world map, I am sure Merrill Lynch will be very willing in the future to take more interns from the University.”Prof. Omotesho enjoined them to “continue to be good ambassadors of the University because whatever you do has implication particularly for other people, once you have raised the bar. Anytime they see somebody from the University of Ilorin, the first thing will be we have very good experience with UNILORIN so let's try these ones too.”
“The way the world is going today, it is your skills that really matter. I will encourage our students to identify areas that they can excel and where they have comparative advantage and make the best use of it. If your hobby becomes your job, then you know you are going to excel at it because you are happy doing what you are doing. Passing through the University, take as much as possible and act like a sponge and soak up as much knowledge as you come across and use it practically”, the Dean advised other students.

One of those stories that show our human nature. Its okay to feel bad in the first few hours after coition. Its perfectly normal.
But listen baby, if you had died whilst having sex with your boyfriend before marriage you are going to HELL straight. Let no body deceive you.
And your body is not yours, if you are a Christian. You are bought with a price, says the Bible.
Anyone who follows the moral of this story to start sleeping around before marriage is on his or her own. It is a sin, no matter how we want to use psychology or philosophy to cover it.
Romance › Re: Why Nigerian Ladies Should Never Settle For Less by poik(m): 11:17am On Sep 23, 2014
I have not seen anything wrong with having dreams and ambitions, even when it comes to the domain of who and who not to marry.
As a matter of fact, we men also have such goals as per the kind of woman we want to bear our children.
But there is a banana peel here, for two pertinent reasons.
One, there are some dreams that are JUST unreasonable, and as I grew, I have come to realize that we do not live in utopia. Want to accept it or not, that's the truth.
The fact that a Jada Pinkett married a Will Smith does not make it a rule of thumb for every one. What do YOU have that makes you think you can attract that tall, rich guy? And even when you do,if you don't have the character to match it, its just a matter of time.

Secondly, we are all wired differently, and God has different plans for all of us. If you are destined for a Kevin Hart, with all your dreams, you either be with him or remain single. It s the bitter truth. I have heard of a case whereby the Lord used a vessel to tell a young unmarried lady that she has used her husband as a boyfriend.and to make it worse, they are no longer together.
So let's be careful and wise.
