Someone said all these stuffs ends with straffing, as an adult, we all know STRAFFING isn't the main reason we needed someone that's why all priorities are set straight from the onset. When won't strafing happen, but on what grounds is another major issue, secondly why straff or allow yourself be straffed by someone that doesn't meet your requirements? I believe there's an avenue where you have to consider some stuffs abt the person and adapt, but there are some values that can't be droped for any reason its either that person has it or its straight to the trash... For me she has to be
FUNNY(am too serious most times)
HONEST AND BLUNT
GODLY(religion isn't an issue)
GOOD COOK(I also love cooking)
BUILDER(must bring more than her body)
GOOD COMMUNICATOR
HUMBLE BUT WELL POLICIED
CLEAN SEXUALY(my nose is super sensitive)
Still waiting for you oooo

I'm really proud to have experienced all these. If u are not smiling it means u were not born in my generation. Which means u are d INDOMIE generation lol! Abeg share make others laugh too. ROTFL.

in prostration I ask for permission(from my mummys ,daddy's and elder ones) to enter the house ,I am in my early 20s but I can reckon with about 60 percent of all what you mentioned in your post,I actually prefer the old days,when my dad plays bob marlie,cool and the gang,lionel richie,luther vandross, all this where wonderfull and classical times,days when my mum cooks a full put of soup well nourished with 20 naira ,i used to watch tales by moon light and so many awesome and educational programmes,nowadays all the little kids watch is channel o and mtv base,when u asked me my role model then I wanted to be like barney ,children of nowadays want to be like beyonce,ask them why,they tell you "I like her dressing " imagine !!! and it was fun back then,but all we hear now is rubbish,all we see now is rubbish,even in the so called "wordly musical videos " back then their bodies where still properly covered ,all we see now is naked women everywhere,sorry to derail the thread,I just prefer being around mature minds,who thinK like me,but applies technology too *winks* ,

Toks2008:


If we check very well we will realze that you are not even 29 and even if you suddenly turm 30 there is still a sold 10yr gap between us.

I tot this thread will give some respite to mature people in age but here is a 29 yr old guy bargiing into a thread for 30plus and stating his interest in ladies in the 20s category.

Young man are you sure you are ok?

I implore you to hush it right away and take that exit now. Abi iru iranu ati iwa palapala wo leyi?

if you are really 40 as you claim to be, your family should be your priority as of this moment, not being in a thread of singles.. being single at 40 is not a good thing to be proud of irrespective of the reason behind the singleness, It's the spiritual matter that's even worse, yoy know what the social media has mafe you peeps feel u are living the life at that age, so if yoy wanna marry now, u marry a 35 year old woman, that has had a serious past tale to tell and after 5 years you both get sick of each other and go back to Where u start from.... you are in a serious SITUATION, and What makes it more serious is that you don't know yoy are in a serious situation.

@everyone
Gdmrn beautiful people and how was ur nite?

@dosunmu
I slept off ooo. Lol

@damilola
I read all ur posts. I understand everything. And now I am going to add my own.
The 20plus girl ur looking for, which is wwhat started all this brouhaha, is reading all ur posts, and I know she is wondering, na so this guy be? Remember why u posted here in the first place, even though ur not up to the age stated. Ur looking for a bride. Now uve allowed urself to be derailed in public. How is ur 20plus lady seeing u now? A man who cannot walk away from a quarral, whether he started it or not? A man who must flex and have the last word in any battle? Let me tell u the diff btw a boy and a man. Boys flex. Men walk away.
That girl ur looking for, is reading ur posts. U slept quarreling with toks2008. U woke by 5am to launch more arrows.
Am older than u, and I've given u advice as if ur my brother. Now shape up and join the fun...or get out of my thread.


N.b. If u reply me with a nasty post, I will come to ur house and flog u with my pankere.
God bless u, dear.

Morning guys. Hope you slept well. I dreamt that Toks invited us to come and chop rice for his wedding to one of our own. Hahahahahahahahahahhah. Joking

Bhella5:
OP has said it all but i still remember watching Sesame street on NTA. I hated that yeye cookie master character. There was that big fowl too. I watched tales by moonlight on sundays or thereabout. I remember voltron too. Gone are those days mehn. Am in my early 30s btw.

Yeah! Voltron used to show on Mondays, remember others like G-force, Super Ted, Robin Hood, Terra Hawks oh.....nostalgic emotions sweeping over me now. I have always been a TV fan even up till now can't seem to get enough. I remember most of the things Siamia spoke about but some of them faintly, am in my mid thirties but am wondering if I should be on this thread cos am married. A little intrusion is allowed I guess.

Just saw this thread now. Can i join plssssssss OP

@uche
Depends. How old are u?

loooooooooooool oh my kai nothing wey we no go read for nairaland.

Aburo abeg no vex you hear. The truth is that at certain age you have outgrown some habits lke painting words but rather you talk straght and bold.

Ma binu dear,im a very frank and blunt person.Yes m single at 40 but not proud of that and i pray you will not have any reason to be sngle at my age maybe then you just might undderstand the uncertainties of life.

So sorry for scolding you as i did and i implore you to tender an unreserved apology for those lines you wrote in yoruba so that a ma yo inu s e iif you know what that means.

Remember as my sister wrote,that 20something lady might just visiit this thread and you will be a big No to her if she reads your harsh comments to your egbons.

And Yes its a faceless forum but bliv it or not in real life i have 4 younger sibblings older than 30 so i see you as my kid brother hence the need to pamper you after scolding you.

*hugs*

Hi guys, how are y'all doing?

This is a great thread with the right intentions and hopefully will yield the desired results even though I'm in no way eligible to participate with you guys (I'm in my mid twenties).

My reason for this comment is to get clarity and hopefully better knowledge a on couple of things.

Firstly, is it everyone here that is single due to past/present relationship misfortunes or some are single by choice? Personally, I have a problem with the Nigerian interpretation of marriage, the pressure they exert on single people at particular ages and the fact that they think it is an achievement in life. I strongly feel Nigerians need a reorientation on the whole idea of marriage and need to understand that it isn't a 'do or die' affair.
Over time, I've noticed that most marriages in Nigeria fail because most participants of the concerned union were not ready but pressurized into making the ultimate decision. Most of them don't even spend enough time to know their partners before tying the knot due to said parental and community pressure and stigmatization.

Secondly, I really understand where you are coming from with the age restriction but I still strongly believe a lot of semi-indomie kids (e.g. Myself) might also have a thing or two to contribute. Some of us are actually way ahead of our ages.
I also suggest you guys find a way to contact Seun and pitch the idea of him giving OPs reasonable control over their threads, such as hiding comments. That way nobody will need to start making reports to MODs and waiting till eternity for them to take action. Every OP will have the responsibility of keeping his/her thread tidy and relevant. With such a system, Miss Siamia won't need to bother herself launching and relaunching warnings, she can always get rid of irrelevant and immature comments herself.

Thirdly, I don't think anybody that is desperate to either find love or get married should be here. He/She will only end up worsening their case. Desperation is a destructive disease, it makes everyone see your vulnerability and play on it. Nobody wants to be stuck to a desperate partner. So if you are at that stage, take time to rediscover yourself. Find your values and reasons you are worth it. Believe in yourself because if you don't, nobody else will.

That said, I'll like to make friends here if you guys won't mind the age difference.

I wish everyone the very best, happy mingling and remember that honesty is key. Nothing built on a foundation of lie(s) can ever stand, let alone last.

CIAO!

Nice one! Bros seems u were once a moderator too?

@toks2008
Gdmrn and how was ur nite?

Good morning my sister.

I must confess you have such a beautiful soul that even you do not know.

If you check this thread from inception you will observe that i literarily hijacked it from you and the reason is because it was just mnutes away to my creating smilar thread and trust me,this thread if not closed at 100pages will run endlessly cos its an haven for mature mnds to come together and socialize.

As i wrote,you have an awesome personality and you have an endearing virtue that many can attest to.

though i have not seen you one on one but even now,im so happy to come across a wonderful personality like yours.

Gd morning

honestly have made up my mind to show interest in lades of 27yrss and above because most of these ladies in this age group mean business expecially 30plus.

I dont have time for unserious ladies who are still liiving in fantasia.

Gdmrn dear

Marriage is not an uphill task... And no one is overdue for marriage....

Anyway if you've gotten ready for marriage for a long time now and nothing is happening... It's either spiritual issues or the fault is yours.... It's not that you've not met enough people.

First you need to cast that burden on God.... Let God come in and help you with it... How? Accepting him as Lord and saviour and serving him with your life and resources Faithfully... If you've tried again and again and failed why don't you trust God.

Finally there are some existing principles that govern r/ships and when you go against them you keep failing at r/ships......

With that said... I recommend dominion city church.... A very powerful Christian force..... Teachings from there have totally changed my life and things that seemed so far fetched have become closer than my shadow.....


Have a victorious life#

Thanks for the admonition.

N Nigeria our problem is more physical or self inflicted than spritual

For a typical igbo lady its high bride price that scares guys away

To a materialitic lady,her quest for a made guy

To a hot chic,arrogance and other ladies their manners.

To many guys,financial constraints or philanderiing habbit and maybe just 2% can be spiritual

until a lady deals with the aforementioned factors then she just might remain single for long.

Have you heard that a rich guy lacks female attention? except the discipliined one who is not nterested in philandering.

this is my second time of contributin on NL.dis is because while some comments r mature most r immature.so i really appreciate dis thread.am in my forties n a civil engineer by profession.kudos to op

damiloladuke:


You are a useless adult, no wonder you will forever remain single. So if am 30, I have to go for a 30 year old lady... So adults of nowadays no more have sense ,and for you to think the social platform is where u get ur wife, you must have an amoeba eating up your grey matter

Dude,i was quite impressed with your cv,but ur attitude and language suggests otherwise.
First and foremost u have to understand that you dont fit into the age range of this thread but you can be inducted on basis of maturity and a lil experience,pls lets be civil in our dealings.....someones miracle might just emanate from here. Cheers and kind regards. Pls @siamia attend to this with ur skills.

@dexema
Don't worry, I was watching the guy ystdy when he was pouring fuel on fire. This morning, as he released fresh fire, I showed him that, even me, I know where filling station is. Lol
I've replied him fire for fire, and I've been waiting for him to reply me, so that I can come over to his house and thrash his bum with my seasoned pankere.
If u scroll up, u'll see my post addressed to him.

@engrelvis
Ur welcome, sir. Hope u'll enjoy urself here, and may ur dreams come true... The good ones I mean.
