Hope you are a lady though

I pray that she will be a single lady lol!

hammer2010:
I don't think "unjustly attacked" is the appropriate term to employ. It's just a clear case of misunderstanding on both sides.


Some of us here are so passionate about this job that most times, we become less objective in the way we react to issues here, even though our intentions are not to attack any one or foist our opinions on them. This I think, is the category she falls into.


Come to even think of it, you know some of us here do not even belief in faith or divine intervention. We belief more in the physical realm, hence, our worries about the possible hijack of the entire process by the powers that be.

On the other hand, some of us acknowledges the potency of these powers that be, but belief ultimately in grace and favor from God with regards to our fate.

Even further are those who neither belief in grace and favor, nor the powers that be. To these set, they are relying solely on their hardwork/inputs during the screening processes - merit


So point is, whether you fall into either of the above three categories, or you believe in a combination of any of them, always try to understand that every varying opinions here could have been informed based on what that person believes n. If you must respond to them, do so with facts. The moment you respond to them based on what you belief in, rather than stating facts, chances are that that person may, depending on how emotionally intelligent he/she is, join issues with you.

The attack is glaring. It seems the male folks here are all out to show her that they have a superior opinion.

I respect her intelligence and inherent analytical mind.

@Everybody, be rest assured that DPR will give 70% of the job on merit.

I have taken my time to go through the thread and in my opinion, this lady Onyiridike has been attacked unjustly.

She is simply trying to encourage those that do not have godfather and also believe that FG job can be gotten on merit.


I pray that she gets the job.

slikcipher:
So true!!!!!

February is around the corner and soon some people will know that elections are not won on nairaland.

I just pity innocent Nigerians that Northern muslims will kill when Buhari lose.

Onyiridike:
I am NOT a fan of GEJ. However, it baffles me tremendously that no party in Nigeria has come up with a better alternative. When APC come up with their usual chorus 'CHANGE!!!', I always ask them:

1. What sort of change and in what direction?

Falsehood is the greatest crime against humanity especially if such lies are meant for public consumption.

Obviously, some of our major challenges as a Nation-State are:

1. Unemployment

2. Epileptic power supply

3. Low standard education

4. Corruption

5. Insufficient motorable roads

6. Religion intolerance/nepotism/tribalism

So far, APC as the strongest opposition party is yet to come up with the modalities on how to tackle the above problems. The only thing Buhari is capable of doing (as promised) is 'fighting' corruption and again I ask, how?

I pray Buhari is NOT seeking this position so that he can have an opportunity to punish his perceived enemies?

Other important questions are:

1. If Buhari who earned huge salaries as a head of state between 1983-1985, military governor of N/E region, minister of petroleum resources, and chairman of PTDF now claims that he ONLY has one million naira in his account, is that not an indication that he is very poor in financial management? What happens to all the money he earns as a former head of state and as a rtd General? Do we need an expert in financial mismanagement as a Nigerian president in this 21st century?

2. Some GEJ critics complain of inadequate power supply. Did we have 24- hour power supply before him? If NOT, do you expect him to fix it in a space of 4 years when other presidents have failed to do so in a space of 50 years? GEJ is no Jesus Christ if you ask me.

3. What was the poverty rate in Nigeria during Buhari's regime? Could you compare it with what we have today?

4. If Buhari couldn't profer a lasting solution to Nigeria problems as president in 1985 when he is young, do you think he can do so now that he is 72 years and half of his brain cells are dead? Even Profs retire at the age of 70 years because they can no longer strain their brains to think and come up with new ideas.

5. If Buhari doesn't have a hidden agenda other than his love for Nigeria, why didn't he give other credible candidates in APC the opportunity to become president? Is Buhari the ONLY saint in APC? Must he be president again at all cost?

6. Is it NOT glaring that APC is just a means for the Northern muslims to re-claim power back since it is no longer possible in PDP?

7. Do you think Buhari would have remained in APC if Rochas or Atiku had emerged victorious in just concluded APC presidential primary election? If No, why?

Finally, Goodluck may not be the type of president we clamoured for but Buhari is NOT an alternative. I thought APC would have provided us a vibrant and better candidate who can brace up with the existing realities of this modern and complex world.

If they had done that, Nigerians will NOT need paint-him-black strategy of APC to vote GEJ (Not PDP) out in 2015.

I am very sure that those guys will never answer your questions.

Everything they say is fueled by nepotism, religion bigotry and hatred for a particular tribe.

Mprex:
Op, did you mean to say disrespectful?


Anyways, i dont know about that

Already corrected!

The way Nigerian girls look down on men regardless of their age baffles me tremendously.

I have taken my time to find out why it is so and obviously, men are the cause of their problems.

Below are my findings:

1. Many men are obsessed with sex- It sends painful sensation down my spine when I see a full-grown man with his education and exposure spending his hard-earned money on 16-year old girl just for sex. Consequently, the girl has gotten a bad impression about men. You tell her 'Chioma how are you?' and she goes ahead to tell her friends that you want to sleep with her.

2. Girlfriend/Relationship Status- During my University days, what makes a man popular was NOT his CGPA but the number of girlfriends he has. I know a guy who gives his girlfriend N10,000 every month and then begs food from hostel to hostel. MUST you have girlfriends or be in a relationship when it is glaring that you don't intend to marry even in the next 5 years? I thought relationship prepares one for marriage but it has become a source of sexual gratification. No wonder most girls have been in a relationship for years and yet are unmarried.

Why would a girl respect any man when there are thousands of them who are interested in her (sorry want to sleep with her).

3. Lack of self worth- One day I came across an M. Sc degree holder begging and running around an SS 2 student like a headless chicken. For Christ's sake, where is our self worth?

During my NYSC, some corpers do run after village girls who are still in JSS 3 and SS1. As a result of this, those girls disrespected every male corper in that village.

How did our men get to this pathetic situation?

3cycle:

Nwakpuda is pained.

I have got no time for a deluded little mug like you.

I have passed my message across. I just pity the innocent man that will marry you.

It seems nairaland is now filled with some headless chickens.

I am writing this for the sake of our young girls who visit nairaland and may risk been brainwashed by 3cycle's comments. I am in a happy and fulfilling relationship, tall by all standard and good-looking too. Personally, I hate to see our girls been used and dumped because they believe that the best thing that can happen in their life is dating a tall man.

I have been following 3cycle closely and I have found out that the ONLY thing she sees in a man is his height.

With her level of obsession about a man's height, I wouldn't doubt her capability of dating a mad man on the street as long as he is tall.

Imagine that I realized that the ONLY reason my girlfriend is dating me is because I am tall. I will brake up with her instantly.

Vivly:
I want a tall muscular guy with a fat bank account living in a well set house and having a fat bank account from his place of work.
Thanks.

Such men Who also have impeccable character wan ladies who are:

1. Virgin

2. Industrious

3. Very beautiful

4. Very tall- Do not have to climb mountain (heels) just to make up for her shortness.

5. From rich family- I don't want a liability

6. Decent, neat and rich

7. Educated

8. Very exposed

9. Have lovely eyes

10. Good cook

Funny enough, some girls who insist on dating/marrying rich, handsome, educated, tall and well-built men are damn ugly and short.

safarigirl: OK. Good morning to you too. I've said all I want to on this topic, you can make your judgments without mentioning me. Thank you for judging

I am NOT a perfect person and therefore have no right to judge you.

My Dear, sometimes we find it difficult to accept someone's opinion but at the same time we should learn to respect it.

Your subsequent posts showed that you are NOT a bad person after all.

Also, know it that the most important thing is that one day, one enterprising young man will fall in love with you (i.e accept you the way you are) and he is ready to be there for you till death. This man may be very tall, average or short.

However, from all indications, you prefer (want) a very tall man but God doesn't always give us what we want but what we NEED.

I pray that you eventually marry a man of your heart desire. Yes!! You will definitely get married. I don't advise you to stay single forever.

safarigirl: yeah, and it's because I'm small that I require a man that's tall...and so far, I've not attracted anyone below 5ft.8"

My dear Safarigirl,

Falsehood is the greatest crime against humanity, especially if such lies are meant for public consumption.

Firstly, you attacked a young married lady and even insulted her and her husband when her only sin is advising Nigerian girls NOT be be obsessed with men's height. If I may ask: "do you have a strange concept of the word 'obsessed' ?"

Secondly, you denied that your thread is NOT a counter thread when it is glaring that it is. Why are you forcing lies down our throat?

Thirdly, your post implied that when a lady marries a short or NOT very tall man then she has settled for less. And it baffles me that you are just 5ft 2 inches. Can you create a human being? Who taught you that height is a yard stick to measure how successful and nice a man would be?

Lastly, the woman you insulted is happily married to man who is 5ft 8 inches. A cute height a man and you have dated men of the same height. Permit me to say that you are simply envious and jealous. I would advise you to change your ways and learn that emulation is better than envy. No sane man will marry you if he is aware that you accepted him simply because he is tall. What is your own definition of love?

3cycle: It's obvious you married him because of his money and nothing more, you sound too angry to have a reasonable conversation with anyone.
Keep your nwakpuda and let us keep our giants

I even doubt if you are a woman. However, why are you taking this matter too personal to the extent of calling someone's husband 'nwakpuda'?

How can you call a man who is 1.75m tall a short man? He has a cute height that any woman can brag with.

Of course 1.75m is just almost 6ft.

This your obsession no deh here o! You better control it.

Actually, this is the best post on nairaland romance section.

Mods should move this to front page so that our sisters will know the obvious truth.

Anybody that says that by simply being tall makes a man better than short guys should try and convince me that a woman who is yellow in complexion is better than the ones who are dark in complexion.

Anyway, some deluded female folks will always wait to make their own mistakes before they learn.

Hausas and their slaves (Yorubas) are trying very hard to create the impression that Igbos are not better than them.

The claims, counter claims, and pull-igbos down-crusade going on here are simply based on anti-igbo mentality.

In the next Ohaneze Ndi Igbo meeting, this issue will be raised and henceforth, I expect all well-meaning Igbo sons and daughters to:

1. STOP patronizing GT Bank.

2. STOP using GLO Network.

3. All GT Banks in South-East should be made unproductive strategically.

4. Among others.

The Hausas in the North have no problems EXCEPT violence. We can live with that instead.

2cato: If he wins i will suggest u and ur minions should go and stand in front of his motorcade and shout a big no so as to stop him.

Is that all you can say?

You and your spineless president will be shocked.

The youths are angry!

Falsehood is the greatest crime against humanity, especially if such lies are meant for public consumption.

The immigration recruitment exercise in which many innocent graduates lost their lives, money and other valuable materials is still fresh in my mind.

For a very long time FG jobs can ONLY be gotten through nepotism, bribery and man-know-man. When the immigration recruitment began, we thought the FG under the watch of GEJ has embraced transparency. Unfortunately, it further portrayed the cluelessness, lies, nepotism and corruption that this administration is known for.

Consequently, my questions for Mr. President and his supporters are:
1. Where is the money of our graduates?

2. What is the outcome of the committee meeting GEJ set up to look into this crucial matter?

3. Have the families of the diseased been compensated with appointments as promised?

4. What happened to the clueless minister who organized this inadvertent recruitment?

Goodluck Jonathan should not mistake Nigerian youths (graduates) for fools.

2015 is around the corner and his I-don't-care attitude towards an important matter like this can jeopardize his 2015 ambition.

yomanovic: I was in Oshogbo in May this year which happens to be my first time in Osun State. Some of my colleagues who schooled there or had visited before were full of praises for Aregbesola for the various projects he has already completed in the first four years if his administration but my brother, I marvel a lot when I see comment from PDP supporting nairalanders who just want omisore in; a man who is known for nothing but ruthless acts in the past. Some even talk about him as if he is untouchable. I just wonder what our present crop of leaders at the federal level have in stock for the future of the nation when a man who was in prison was allowed to contest in an election and yet won. dem camp no know say 'there is God ooo' now!

Is it his father's money or his personal money that he used to execute those projects?

Somebody is spending public fund and you are clapping for him.
Who doesn't know how to spend money that he didn't suffer for?

peren: I would pm u only if u are
6ft tall
with a well built body
light skin
den we can talk.

I SMH for you. Are these the criteria for the man you want to have sex with or the man who want to marry eventually?
So, any slowpoke who happens to be 6ft, well built and light in complexion has automatically becomes your dream man?
Sorry to say, but it is either you are deluded or you must be high on some adulterated psycho-medication.

Splasshhh: Though i am late to this thread, talking abt playing hard to get, I think my matter pass that one now.

I need help pls.

I am a single lady and kinda outta Love. Guys matter no just dey my agenda in a very long yl now but, I met this guy and i'm kinda really into him.

He likes me too but I don't sense he wants anything more than just frns. He is really cool but I am tripping really hard for this guy. I have tried the green light part but seems he doesn't get it. He is more drawn to work and I don't know if I should just wait until this feeling dies away or just tell him straight.

Pls ideas

Tell him indirectly. How you ask?
1. Be nice to him
2. If he lives alone, volunteer to cook for him and please cook a delicious meal. If you don't know, learn from your friends.
3. Jokingly, find out if he has a girlfriend, if he doesn't, you have 95% chances.
4. Get to know his friends and be nice to them too. Chances are there that they will praise you before him
5. Use eye contact to send the message across to him and I promise you that he will be begging for your 'YES' in 3 weeks time.

The part I hate is when she realizes that your interest in her is deminishing, she would start hanging around street guys to make you get jealous.
Funny enough, she is compounding her problems by:
1. Firstly, hanging around street guys is an indication that you are cheap b/c birds of a feather flock together.
2. Secondly, the impression that you already have another guy will kill the little feeling left.

Every day I get approached by guys who just don't get
it...

Like, from the look of things they think they do but
they just don't.

Have you ever seen an extremely pretty girl who is
dating a guy who looks so damn ordinary that you go
like - "what the heck did that babe see in that dude?"

I hear that all the time; stuffs like - "the dude is too
ugly for that babe jare".

The thing most dudes just don't get is the fact that
when it comes to what makes we women trip, it's
hundred percent different from what makes you guys
trip.

For a lady, all it takes is just to flash some boobs and
probably look you in the eyes in a seductive manner
and bam - you are turned on - that is, you guys are attracted
by what you see.

The mistakes guys make is thinking that what works
for men actually work for women.

They feel maybe if they look a bit good, had six packs
that maybe they will get women swooning around
them.

I see dudes wail about how average or not so good
looking they look. Then I see some others, who don't
really look that fine, give my pretty girlfriends
headaches and heartbreaks.
I see some other dudes who put on great clothes, dress
really nice, forms fresh boys here and there and think it
stops there - only for a guy who they look better than to
steal their girlfriends from them.

Most guys go out, try to get a girl of their dreams only
to watch her turn them down.
Then they start thinking something is wrong with
them; they go like - "maybe it's money, maybe I didn't
spend enough".


So they go out and spend like they are Santa, acts
really nice around her, take all sort of BS from her,
tries so hard not to make her upset. You basically
become a "nice guy" - but the same thing happens; the
girl turns you down again.

Then You give up; you insist something is wrong with
you.

Well, the truth is this - There is something wrong with
you and it is that you just don't get it.

The FACT IS THIS - while you guys fall for what you see,
we ladies fall for some thing else that can NEVER be
seen.

And what is that?

The PERSONALITY and MANLY QUALITIES of a man.
The fact is this; some dudes are so verrry good in
making we women trip that they do it so easily (I have
fallen under the spells of one of such guys -they call
'em "players".

Some other dudes are just plain annoying; so annoying
and uninteresting that we have no option but to turn
them into a play thing.
They call us - we don't pick.
They ask to see us - we give excuses why we can't
(when we might be in a guy's house at that very
moment they called us up to ask)

I hear a lot of pained guys moan about how un loyal we
girls are. It's funny sha; we are the most loyal creatures
if you can be a man with the ATTRACTION TRIGGER
QUALITY we want. We will so stick with you

The fact is this....

Every man can have that quality. Trust me, I'm a
woman - every man can become a man any woman will
kill to want to be with.
It doesn't matter how you look or how much you earn.

When you see a hot babe dating a guy who is almost
nothing - don't wonder why.
It's the way we are wired. It's the way we think. Call it
fish brain or what ever you want.

We trip for personalities you guys trip for booty
To sum up...

- Any man can make women chase after him if he can
have the personality and quality that triggers
attraction in women (I will explain such qualities in
subsequent posts)

- we women don't give a hoot about how you look,
maybe to a little extent we do but we would rather date
an average looking guy who has the personalities that
get we women tripping than a handsome dude who
doesn't.

This is simply your opinion and stop preaching as if it is a dogma ( a well established principle).
Ask many girls and they will tell you how they trip for guys who are:
1. Above 6ft.
2. Wealthy
3. Educated
4. Out going
5. Influential
They don't give a damn if the guy is an armed robber, a drunkard, a woman beater, a cheat, among others.
So, what personality nonsense are you talking about?
It seems you don't live in Nigeria. The nollywood movies they watch has really affected their brain.

Every girl has a boyfriend. That is how delusional they can be when they want to play hard-to-get.
What makes a lady thinks that I will run after her b/c she told me that she already has a boyfriend. In fact, that impression alone will make the guy lose interest in you.

kingthreat: Some people are in undeserved positions and Mikel is one of them. Some dumb people support this trend and you are one of them. #antimediocrity

Since you are God who determines the position someone should attain in life, why didn't you STOP him since 8 years now and still counting?
Stop hating! It doesn't pay.

Nigerians have always wished that Mikel leaves chelsea since 2006.
I don't know why the good wage he earns there brings up the venom of hatred in their veins.
Since you have crippled your country through hatred, nepotism, tribalism, and religion bigotry, why do you still inter-hate someone who is enjoying his career in another country?
He is a snail, he doesn't know how to play football, he is a bench warmer and what have you.
Is it your father that owns chelsea?
Did he beg Nigeria to play for them?
If you didn't invite him, he wouldn't have come.
He is now a multimillionaire if not a billionaire and you open your mandibles to call him snail?
Before you insult Mikel, ask yourself, "What have I achieved in my chosen career?

500GP: TELECOMMUNICATIONS - IT'S OBJ THAT USHERED IN PHONES, LAPTOPS, COMPUTER THROUGH FOREIGN INVESTMENTS (INVESTOR ) WITH THIS SERVICE PROVIDERS SPRANG UP.......

WHICH ONE IS MORE EFFICIENT BETWEEN NITEL AND GSM..............?


SO OBJ SHOULD ACT LIKE THE WAY GULLIBLE GEJ'S IS ACTING: NOT TAKING EVERY MEASURE TO STOP BOKOHARAM INSURGENCY. DURING OBJ'S REGIME

OBJ ushered in laptop, phones and computer?
Are you sure you have passed your SSCE?
I wondered why OBJ could not STOP militancy in Niger delta and a scratch face like you will always boast that OBJ could have tackled BOKOHARAM.
OBJ also ushered in Jincheng, Keke Napep, 406 peaguot car, Mercedes car and chicken. Oh! I forgot pepsi.
NONSENSE!

500GP: WHAT'S IT TO HATE IN IBO? THERE'S NOTHING TO HATE, ENVY ABOUT YOUR TRIBE, IBO TRIBE IS A WASTE TO HUMAN RACE.

OBJ DID NOT PLAY TRIBAL POLITICS. IT'S IMPACT WAS FELT: HE FOUGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION
HE PAVED WAY FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO NIGERIA GDP IMMENSELY.

HE PAID OFF NIGERIA'S DEBT.

HE DEALT WITH ALL SORT OF INSURGENCY. THERE WAS PEACE

Your level of reasoning baffles me.
OBJ paved way for Telecommunication?
MTN, Airtel and GLO are not Nigerian property. Each of them belongs to an individual or group of individual. Your OBJ simply issued them lincence to operate in Nigeria. Any slowpoke on the street can do that. In doing so, he crippled our NITEL.
There was Peace?
Are you suffering from amnesia?
OBJ used the army to wipe out an entire community in Benue state. Is that peace?
He failed to STOP militancy in Niger delta.
He almost wiped out the entire people in Odi community. Is that peace?
He approached issues by force instead of being diplomat.
Sharia law consumed thousands of Nigerians during his regime.
What does the word 'peace' means to you?

500GP: GEJ IS TAKING THE SOUTH LEASTERNERS FOR A FOOL AND THE GULLIBLE LEASTERNERS FALL FOR HIS PLOY.

IN 2011, HE FOOLED THE LEASTERNERS

IN 2015, GEJ IS STILL FOOLING THEM.

#IBO THINKS GEJ WILL HANDOVER TO THEM. GEJ WILL HANDOVER BACK TO THE KINGMAKERS IN PDP

Why are you always suffering from IGBOPHOBIASIS?
Your son (Obasanjo) ruled for 8 years. Can you categorically tell us ANY notable infracture that he brought to southWASTEners?
Please, in case you don't know, IGBOPHOBIASIS is more chronic than HIV.

anitank: Ok Mr Chelsea,I know they can't be compared but I still prefer Eto to ur arrogant Drogba anyday

*goes back to my Kitchen*

why did you call Drogba arrogant? Well, Drogba is happily married and his wife is not complaining.
You ladies are always looking for spineless coward (mistaken for humble person) who you can control.

Tallesty1: There is nothing like Unconditional Love. It is just a lie that we like to believe.

Another proof

I have always tried to understand the meaning of the word 'love'. In fact, I am tempted to say, on many occassions, that love doesn't exist. However, I have come to understand that love have different categories.
Consequently, after many consultations and findings, it appears that 'genuine (unconditional)' love doesn't exist among human beings.
When next she/he tells you,"I love you", don't hesitate to ask him/her, "why do you love me?".
Underlisted could be the reason(s) why you love him/her:
1. He/she is beautiful/handsome
2. He/she is educated
3. He/she is wealthy
4. He/she is from your tribe
5. He/she is tall
6. He/she attends your church
7. He/she is generous
9. He/she is humble (sometimes, spineless cowards are mistaken to be humble)
10. He/She is God fearing, among others.
Surprisely, I have seen love disappear once he/she loses any of the attributes that attracted you to him/her in the first place.
Fellow nairalander, why do you love him/her?
Without reservations, do you love him/her unconditionally?

Maya2pretty: Please what is the duration for the test so I could walk around it in the office, thank you.

I am your secret admirer.
