Oh well
"Reward" is a really bogus word to use in this context
Like it is a favour
I will prefer using the word"appreciate"
Appreciate her in any way nuh only financially
I mean look at this,
With constant pressure from friends to leave your level,
With constant approach from guys offering her tempting things
And with all these,she still sticks around
She deserves some accolades
If she can stay with you through trying times...then she can stick with u.. probably forever
U know the kinda girls we have in this country..small girls with big Godzilla..LOL grin
What am saying,they should be appreciated. kiss

If there was a form of financial commitment coming from the girl when the man was broke, I will then agree to your assertion. But there was no form of financial commitment from the babe. The man was hustling and still payinh the bills, the lady only stood by him, which was what was required from a woman..
ImohWilliams1:
Every act of loyalty deserves some reward. We've seen instances where people reward their friends who stood by them including male friends. How much more a lady who had the option of leaving your poor ass when she was faced with pressure daily from wealthy guys but she decided to stay.

I will like to ask the poster..if u as a guy had a friend a fellow guy who was really close to u maybe as a student or as job seeker n he stayed n assisted u from his heart, both of u were there for each other. Somehow he gets a very big job or contract n decides to buy a range rover for his guy for loyalty of friendship all those rough years..there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, if it can be done for an ordinary friend it can be done for a spouse to be too..
In this age where no one can be trusted n everyone is all about class etc it takes one with a heart of gold to stick to someone who had almost nothing to offer, you keep encouraging the guy that things will be better etc..such inputs some guys can't forget it when they make it especially when they remb the multitude that actually turned their backs on them..
The thank u gifts are a way of making those that left on time to regret their lives n be more considerate next time..
Pls if you did not make the money for some one or someone didn't borrow money from u to buy the gifts or u, never you open your mouth to bash any gift anyone decides to get for another person. You can reject your own gift if n when ever it comes..

I love this response. Very aptly written. Nigeria women have issues. No wonder their marriages always fall like a pack of cards.
doskie:
i love your response. especially the part where you respected fools enough not to refer to her as one. incase you are looking for the english word that deacribes that person, well, i didnt exactly find it, but i found a yoruba word that closely matches with what you want to say. its okponu. please feel free to apply it whenever he/she contacts you again. kind regards

Its good to show appreciation to the person that showed u loved when ur still battling to survive
Can't forget this particular girl in my life then
She was there for me in every aspect thought i offered her nothing
Though we are no more together coz she does not fall into the category of girl i want to get married to but i plan to settle her for good for old time stake
When i needed it most she was there to satisfy me without bothering me
God will also not stop blessing her i always wish her well

Recently, George Clooney rewarded his friends with a million dollars.

Why did he reward them? Were they doing him a favour being his friends even before he became a big star?

Anyone who stuck to you in your trying times deserves to be rewarded. If you have ever had a period in your life when you were down and you needed someone and the whole world abandoned you, leaving you with just one person who stuck by you, none of you would come here to make such ignorant statement about why men reward the women who stick by them

Do you know their story? Do you know if these women helped them financially? Do you know how many of these men may have been close to suicide and the woman was the only reason they didn't off themselves? People who kill themselves, you think they would have done that if someone listened to them when they were down and gave them hope?

None of you has obviously been down and out, at that point in life that you become a caricature to everyone, including supposed friends and family, because if you have been there, walahi, if you can, you go even buy Banana Island house for the person that held your hand when you were slipping into darkness.

If you know how many girls feed guys in school, you will not come here and ask a question as silly as "Did she do him a favour?" Yes! She fed him when he had no food, she gave him words of encouragement when he had no hope, she stood by him when he had no support. She took insults from friends and colleagues because she was the 'stupid' girl who was following the broke boy

What is a car compared to years of sacrifice and insult? What is the worth of a car? Do you think a car is even enough to repay someone for being the reason why you were even alive to get these riches?


Like I said, let me attribute this talk to common Ignorance. When you are broke and hopeless and only one person has your back, you will understand the men you think are senseless

God bless you, wise and intelligent lady.

It seems you are a minor.

Relationship goes beyond money. It is immaterial whether it ended well or not.

You could have dated someone who appealed to a part of your values or personality but you didn't end up together due certain circumstances beyond control.

Rewarding such a person could a gift to show the person that you appreciate their being good.

Some people today are still their exes or empathize with them if they had ended up wrongly.

Besides, it is not everything you talk about... or you are displaying a sign of immaturity.

The only true reward for loyalty is loyalty. If your partner stayed with you while you were poor, stick with her when you're rich.

There is so much confusion in the land because we love the material things over the immaterial good deeds. We love to reward everything with money and car, from se x, conception, love and now loyalty.

If we don't watch it, we'd start rewarding the dead with car gifts. Everything shouldn't centre on money.

I agree with you 100 %...
Such men are actually encouraging the gold digging instincts in women.
They are actually making it look like women should only love men who are rich ...
They are unwittingly negating the essence of true love...
I SEE SUCH MEN AS REEKING OF LOW SELF ESTEEM.

My take;
If we blow simultaneously, reward not necessary. but if I blow n she's still struggling why not?

you are a child mentally, that is why you are running your mouth with reckless abandon.


I don't know if your mother and your sisters are all prostitutes, but I can assure ou now that we are not all like the women in your family.

Some of us have values and we also will not allow small boys insult the entire female population of this country because they may or may not have encountered these leeches.


I don't know who fu-cked you up, but it is unhealthy to take out your anger on all Nigerian women. It is not as if Nigerian men are loyal anyway


BTW: I don't know anything about the oga and his ex, I am speaking from a general viewpoint, not from one incident. And, sometimes, a person will leave you not because you have done wrong, but because they realise they are holding you back and they want the best for you. Not all broken relationships have negativity attached to them.

BTW: Many people have progressed in this life without a woman, just like many women have progressed without a man.....but I can tell you this, there are more successful women who have no man than successful men who have no woman


Good luck with your life.
It's actually the other way round, especially in Africa. Women like Linda Ikeji are the few exceptions. If you doubt me, just enter your street and approach 3 different women who have cars. Just ask them who bought their cars for them, they'll tell you.
Also, your claim is logically impossible especially when you consider the fact that the ratio of successful men to women is like what? Probably 3:1 if not more sef.

Nigerian ladies hope you are reading and learning.

Never settle for any ungrateful broke bastard who will not appreciate you when you can get rich men that can take care of you and your children.

Nigerian men are mentally unstable sociopaths.
And nobody should quote me saying rubbish about how women should take care of themselves instead of waiting for men. If you men want to rule over women and be their leaders then be damn well ready to provide for them.

Why do guys think it normal to 'reward' ladies who dated them when they were not rich? I don't get it, was she doing you a favour by being in a relationship with you?

It has become commonplace to read about rewards, car gifts especially, purchased by guys as rewards for ladies who they were in a relationship with when they were poor. I think in constantly doing that, guys are making it look abnormal, the idea, that a lady is supposed to stick with her man, come rain or shine.

She wasn't doing you a favour by being in a relationship with you. No one is doing you a favour by being in one with you now. Whether it ended or not, you owe her nothing for that period the both of you were dating.

Guys should stop making it seem like dating a particular lady is a privilege they don't deserve.
.

My brother you are right , Girls are not doing guys a favour by being in a relationship. But come to think of it, how many girls nowadays are ready to date a broke guy, how many girls are ready to share what they have wit a guy when he has nothing. There are so many men to day who got to their peak because of the physical, financial and spiritual support they got from their girl when they were nothing. If a guy rewards a girl because she was with him when the going was rough, my brother its not because they were in a relationship it's simply because he appreciates all what the girl has been through for him.

It takes great courage, in this harsh world of ours, to choose love, empathy and loyalty at the expense of sure material and financial gain. It's take great courage to believe and give your all for a future that isn't certain and look almost impossible to get better. Every woman who stood by her man I trying times deserves to be spoilt with money when their man makes it. Such women are the true Queens.

Love don't cost a dime so I think that its good if we leave our material possessions outside the door when we are thinking of dating

Honestly this is the gospel truth!
Many men are just looking out for themselves when they preach about girls sticking to broke dudes and they get angry when women look out for themselves and their future children by selecting rich men

I hope young girls who were planning on sticking with broke guys are reading this, only settle for poor men if you have absolutely no other option. When he makes money he will not appreciate you and he will definitely make you regret your suffering by cheating on you.

Men these days are looking for a career woman to marry cos they want women to provide but they will preach to young girls to stay with broke men. Absolute nonsense.
