Should I take this as an insult or motivation? by Sonnobax15(op): 1:15pm On Jun 23, 2025
Good day my fellow Nairalanders....hope y'all are feeling better today? cheesy

Well,it seems I just got the greatest insult of my life this afternoon under this hot scorching sun angry.

How can someone who's still living under his parents roof with his girlfriend and two kids be advising me to go and marry? angry. He's a childhood friend of mine angry

The funniest part was that the dude was even justifying it that he's living a more fulfilled life than I am😭. Imagine someone who hasn't paid electric bill in his entire life angry I tried explaining to him that he should have a change of mentality because those mad men and women we see roaming our streets today were once kids whom their parents used to taunt their neighbors and family members who were childless then angry

TBH, I'm really pained right now undecided. I even asked my girlfriend if I've been misfiring all my missiles all these while because with the way it is now,It seems I'm longing to be a father and I hope no iron dome can stop me from that cheesy

So Should I take this as an insult? Or as a motivation? undecided

Take it as motivation to provide for yourself before you think of marriage or birthing children.

You might not see it that way o, but that your friend means well, and want what is best for you. Believe me.

At least, he's better than those guys always saying marriage no easy, yet they stay married, keep impregnating their wives, and having children every other year.
Those ones are using style to tell you that you can't handle the pressure in marriage, yet they're doing it.
No accept that kind advice.

Any how wey life be, put head.

If you can tolerate a woman's bull**** & cater for a family, get married.

If you no fit, stay on your own.

Not really.

Banny is Nigerian lingo for my girlfriend, it is not the same thing as "bitch", the more synonymous word is "babe".

You only call someone you are dating banny.

You can say it razz, because it is mostly said by ghetto pidgin speakers but it is not derogatory.

All the people I've seen using it is basically didn't have a good intention.

But then again, "babe" seems more like it.

If you say so then.

If I call someone I'm dating "Banny," she should just know that I don't like her anymore.

At this my age, there are certain words that, once I hear someone use them, I start to feel they're irresponsible unless it's clearly a joke.

Words like Banny, Toto, etc.

Thank you.

Words like "Banny", "Shima", "Toto" sound really off especially the last one.

I haven't seen any responsible person use it to describe their partners except for maybe jokes during banters or musicians in their songs.

Trust me, no one asked this young man to marry. He is just fishing for redpill engagement.
Re: Should I take this as an insult or motivation? by brain54(m): 1:07pm On Jun 24, 2025
They is nothing razz or derogatory about banny...

It's just a street slang.

Because it's street don't make it razz.

They are words the streets use to convey derogatory meanings. Banny is not one of them. Okpo,ol'sh etc are derogatory.

Infact, banny is an endearing street term meaning girlfriend!
