The funny thing is that that Chris Okafor fellow will still cheat on his new wife with this Doris Ogala character.

Once a cheat, always a cheat.

List 3 logical things men really offer in a relationship. They only thing men have to offer is money. Util men offer more we wont offer anything other than the sxxx.

You can't expect more when you give less. I laugh at "men offer food". Women are the only one who offer food. You thought the statement "women belong to the kitchen" came from where? We offer food. men only offer money and maybe shelter.
Your comments were well captured here

I chuckled when you wrote "until men offer more". More what? How about doing things yourself for yourself and not depending on an exchange? After all, love isn't transactional.

What are the basic things of life?

Food
Shelter
Clothing
And what else is material that you need to survive as a person?

Marriage isn't do or die, infact there's no marriage in heaven.

Most people in our environment marry out of societial/family pressure not love.

However, whenever you say to someone, "I will marry you"_and not marry that person_

You form lasting soul ties.

So a lady promises a guy she was going to visit him. She later didn't go and was sued and made to pay damages.

On the other hand, a guy promises a lady marriage and did not marry her and she cannot sue him. Like seriously?

For those who would say that the former scenario collected money and refused to go visit him, also note that the latter collected sxxx and refused to marry her. The guy should be sued not because he promised and failed but because he slept with her, probably damaged her body.
Do you even know that women body always not the same again after being sexxed? If the body remain the same, why do u guys always reject a lady with many body count?
So you see it works both ways.
If he can use transfer receipt as evidence against me in court, why can't I use whatsapp chats about the sxxx we had as evidence too? I always tell you guys when u want to come for me, be logical. if he uses transfer receipt i will use whatsapp chats.
A promise to marry is not the same as a romantic relationship.

A promise to marry can be expressed verbally or in writing, or it can be implied by the conduct of the parties, such as exchanging rings, introducing each other to family and friends, planning a wedding, buying a house, etc. However, a promise to marry must be clear and unequivocal, and it must not be based on vague or uncertain terms, such as “maybe”, “someday”, “if”, etc.

Breaking a promise to marry is a serious matter that can have legal consequences in Nigeria.

The party who breaks the promise to marry can be sued by the other party for breach of promise to marry, which is a civil claim for damages.

The party who sues for breach of promise to marry can seek compensation for the loss and injury suffered as a result of the breach, such as emotional distress, loss of reputation, loss of opportunity, loss of income, money expended towards the marriage preparations, money spent on engagement, rings, gifts to the other party in view of an eventual marriage, etc.

For you to know the importance of the money men contribute. Know that a family can survive without sex. But will end without money.
Sex is nothing.

List 3 logical things men bring to the table. If men are the one offering sxxx, who do men always say that the only thing women offer is sxxx? Are you even logical at all? Or should we say that men are so confused that same them say we offer sexxx and same them say they offer sxxx?
Sex. Is mutual can only occur with two people. So both of men and women offer sex to each other. That's why some women pay men for sex and some men pay women for sex

lol. Stop being emotional. You can’t jail someone cause of sex. Especially if it was consensual. However I am at the opinion she should sue if she has evidence that the man promised to marry her and made her do abortions. Etc. make dem use one of this pastors as scape goat

I didn't get you well. Are saying maybe shelter? How many percentage of women offer that? Money given to a woman has many use. I didn't want to dwell into that but for the purpose of clarity. The money can buy food, drugs, transportation, electricity bill, toiletries etc. just to mention a few

What you are saying is like if the government puts out a proposal for bid on a contract, any company that loses on the the bid can sue the government and claim damages.
Just to point out the flaws in your assertion, the contract in the union of two people only starts once the marriage certificate is signed and not before.
However,,the bottom line is that anyone can sue another for just any reason but that doesn’t translate to victory.
A bid is different...

I think the guy or the girl toasted or asked the other partner out. And they was consent to commence? So how is that similar to a bid?

You're such a confused human .they sued the lady for obtaining money for tfare for the purpose of the visit and later did not go .

You can't just sue a lady that promised to visit you and fail to do so .

There's no law that bind anyone to marry a lady or man. no court can even force anyone to marry anyone. Stop embarrassing yourself with this you damaged her body over a mutual consent sex .

Sure, it's very possible to sue...

If you can establish the fact that the partner was promised marriage and didn't meet the obligation.


It's very possible legally. Marriage is like any other contract and promising to marry can be either formal or informal. A breach can be pursued legally.


Especially those that ones that live/date with the partner for a long extended period then the partner finally disappoints. So many things to sue for and damages to claim sef.


It's just that Africas and Nigerians in particular don't like following legal procedures because of the time, costs and stress involved.


But it's very possible to sue!
You just typed load of crap filled with emotion not law .

Before you engage in such discuss first check if there's a law that bind anyone to marry anyone.

So if a lady/man wants to divorce do you think there's a law that stops it ? The law rather made you to understand that you can't forced anyone to stay with you in the name of marriage .

No one can force anyone to marry anyone.

In the holy book, God told His own people Israel not to have earthly kings like the heathen. They rebelled against God, insisting that they wanted to be like the rest. God obliged and they were content to live with the consequences. They indeed lived like the rest and of course died like the rest. They were invited to live like gods but opted to live like mere men

In the holy book also , God clearly instructs His chosen to engage in sex only within the frame of marriage. We of this generation have rebelled against God , arguing on the benefits of premarital and indiscriminate sex. God also has granted the wish of this untoward generation and has let us be. This generation is willing to live free without God's yoke . Ironically, the new found freedom of this adulterous generation has brought them into unfathomable bondages. The breaking of the law is never without repercussions. In the end God proves His case, that if faithfully followed, His yoke guarantees peace for humanity. The human alternative has become the source of global turmoil

By your statement, any lady that has sex with someone must marry that person or be sued?

The reason why a guy can sue a lady who refused to visit after an agreement was made is because the man paid the lady. She should return the money.

Stop trying to justify nonsense. Dating is for compatibility searching. If you and the other person are not compatible, then you are free to break up. Women do it and men do it.
