I would love to try paragliding and skydiving but I'm yet to find someone to do it with (most Nigerians don't like taking such risks lol) and I don't want to do them alone

They only have to follow you there lol, you can hop on the sales alone while they take pictures!

dont think i can do this. . . . . . . .paragliding was terrifying enough

he wants to seriously empty those coffers b4 Buhari steps in! why not!

Depends how drunk you are and whether you wanna see him again

kalufelix:
As a matter of fact this was the test itself

please tell me how she will have passed this ridiculous test? was she meant to haggle the bag? lmfao

jaybee3:
You are right BECAUSE i know you can afford it hence your thought process


I dey oooo

same old same old

You still in L town?

That's unfair, so he should think less of me if I couldn't afford it?

Are you telling me if you took your wife/gf to Gucci today, she won't assume you've run into money and quickly pack all the bags she's been ogling online before you change your mind?

I am ooo. Where else is there to be! lol

jaybee3:
What if the rent was for a single room?

abeg

there isnt even a miss selfridge in knightsbridge (unless they built one yesterday)

jaybee3:
GBAM

So refreshing to hear this coming from a woman

be quiet, i don't know what item in miss selfridges will pay for a weeks rent in a box room in the cheapest area in london talkless of a month.

clearly this 'woman' is lying!

naijaboiy:
[color=#1980BC]And how many times am I going to repeat that deji was testing her?

Woman,,keep your warped mentality to yourself.

If you feel because you are taken to an expensive restaurant or boutique then that's a free pass to drain the guy,,good for you.

There are many foolish guys around who'll fall prey for such and so you don't need to be bitter that deji isn't like them.

It's no biggie really that you are fully in support of what the lady did.

In my opinion she's plain DUMB![/color]

smh. i cannot even begin . . . . .

Chiam55:
She failed the ultimate test.

A man took me to miss Selfridges in Knightsbridge and told me to get whatever I wanted. Most items were a months rent and I felt really uncomfortable. I choose a teddy bear. It was such a cute gesture.

When we left the store he handed me a designer perfume as a suprise gift. What she did was shameless it showed that man everything he needed to know about her character.

It was never about the money. #PovertyThinking on her behalf.

Miss Selfridges indeed. . . . . . .

jaybee3:
I knew it, like i was ever going to win the debate


where you been gurllllll?

lol! you know im right! *waves fist*

I've been around how are you?

jaybee3:
PS: you ayettymama?

yes

Venom104:
OK.. have you bought a 250k bag for yourself before? have you ever worked to earn 250k yourself? in a gucci shop, is everything > 250k?

if your answer to all the above is yes.. then feel free to pick up the 250k bag

absolutely, I've bought a bag 3x that price. Does that make me more deserving of it from a guy than a girl who hasn't?

Are you saying because she is poor she doesn't deserve to be treated right?

everything worth buying in Gucci is expensive, I consider the cheaper items, like belts, scarfs wallets gloves key rings and hobo bags a monumental waste of money.

jhidey08:
who is talking here?? I understand wot u're trynna say quite well, but wot I want u 2 know is dat Deji has his reasons for taking her to dat kinda boutique and giving her a red card. Can't u just respect a person's decision?? It's his money, it's his girlfriend, it's his life, let him live d way he wants. I'm sure u wouldn't want others to dictate how u live ur life for u

No I want to smack Deji across the head. if I was his older sister I will tell him to go and get the back immediately so I can add it to my collection. Nonsense.

If you don't love the girl why are you taking her there in the first place. Talkless of the fact she probably doesnt even appreciate it, he has foolishly made her believe the money is nothing to him.

Giving her a budget and taking her to a store that accommodates it is an intelligent move, I am even sure if she had asked for a budget he will have responded with 'don't worry' all in the name of testing her (something I don't even accept he was doing because that wasnt in the tweet).

You as a man also have the responsibility of giving your date the right impression, don't take her to Gaucho if your money is MacDonalds, don't take her to Gucci if your money is primark!

jaybee3:
Of course he sent a message and he would have bought the bag regardless but I’m pretty sure he was more interested in the girls line of thought with regards to financial discipline.

250K is actually not a lot for a quality bag but why point to 250K bag if you barely earn 50K per month

Jaybee - again, did he expect the girl to pick an expensive keyring instead? Will that have made deji conclude she was an intelligent financial analyst?

I cannot for this conversation lmfao

naijaboiy:
[b][color=#1980BC]Why shouldn't he test her?

Are you married? If yes did you just jump into marriage without knowing the kind of guy you are getting to spend the rest of your life with?

Not every man can be foolish enough to accept everything so there is nothing bad in testing her. We humans do it every day in different life situations.

Any human that jumps into anything without trying to know what the future may look like is a very big FOOL.

So testing her is very right.

Secondly,,you don't compare taking your niece or nephew out to taking a stranger out.
You can easily tell them to drop whatever is expensive. How do you expect the man to tell her to drop the bag.

Does that make sense to you?

Have you ever gone on a first date with a guy and when you order what he can't really pay for then he tells you not to order it anymore?

Taking her shopping was a treat,,Fine. But the lady didn't leave with a good first impression. So it was safe for the man to discontinue the relationship.

With the way you ladies are analysing this case i'm scared to conclude that we are having many female gold diggers than I once thought.

*sigh*[/color][/b]

His methodology is flawed.

Why did he take her to an expensive shop? Clearly he should know the items will be expensive! He could have taken her to Mango, then his test will make sense.

and why cant he tell her to drop it? It's his money.

I haven't dated a guy senseless enough to take me to a restaurant he cant afford. If you take me somewhere expensive, expect to pay alot of money (seriously how many times to I have to repeat this)

GOLD DIGGERS?? WHAT DOES GOLD DIGGING HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?? OMG! DID SHE BEG HIM TO TAKE HER TO THE STORE?? AM I MISSING SOMETHING IN THE STORY HERE?

jaybee3:
Yes I have and the exact thing played out (I wasn’t looking for a wife at the time though).

It was a first date and she hoodwinked me into branching at a boutique even though our plan was to hang out at a restaurant.
She clearly wanted to take advantage and you bet I returned mine after seeing her for what she truly was.

there is a difference here is there not? I don't see any evidence of Deji being hoodwinked or forced to take her to that shop. Clearly the guy was flexing, and it backfired!

It shouldnt really matter whether you are looking for a wife or gf - unless you treat your gfs better than you do your wife.

If a guy I'm dating takes me to Gucci, he better be bringing it! Don't take me to Gucci and expect me to buy a scarf, the money will go a long way in Zara!

julybaba:
You better change your mentality, before it's too late.

you are the ones that need to be sensible when taking women on dates!

my advice- don't.

If you want to know how good a woman is with money, check her lifestyle!

jhidey08:
u sound like a runs girl. Seriously

be quiet! this is a serious matter.

Have you taken a girl shopping before?

jaybee3:
He wanted a wife not a GF
Financial discipline could have been his biggest requirement

Excuse me - he has failed his own test - why will you take a girl to an expensive place if financial discipline was important to you?

YOU DO REALISE HE SENDS A MESSAGE BY TAKING HER SOMEWHERE EXPENSIVE RIGHT?

jhidey08:
dat's wot u think, but Deji is thinking differently. INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCE.

Deji is not thinking

queensmith:
the man is a slowpoke, why will you take her to a shop she cant afford if you don't expect her to buy something she cant afford? where is the logic here?
You take me to dior and expect me to pick a keyring? He probably assumed because she was from ondo she didnt know anything.
Next time he should be safe and take the girl to idumota!

jaybee3:
It was a first shopping date not a first date

It was clearly a test and she failed woefully period

clearly a test indeed have you taken a woman shopping before?

How did it go?

If a guy offers to take me shopping (which is ill advised if he is ijebu with his money)

The first thing I do is ask if theres a budget, if I don't and the guy doesn't tell me there is one, then he will be a fool for offering what he probably cant afford.

Now this is even worsened if he takes me somewhere expensive, what does he expect? That i look for the cheapest item in the shop? Is he an eediot?

naijaboiy:
[color=#1980BC]And you think the 250k is a problem to him?

I didn't read when he complained before paying the money.

He was only trying to test the lady and that's all.

In my opinion the man didn't lose at all. In fact he won with a wide margin. Imagine he marries her and then she starts to demand for different things just to soothe her high taste.

The lady in question is the mumu instead. She was not sharp enough to see the test and act wise.[/color]

test the lady for what? Is he an invigilator?

If someone takes you shopping its a treat!

If i was to take my niece shopping, im not trying to test what shes going to buy! If she picks something ridiculously priced I will tell her to drop it immediately! I often buy them things I know they can't afford and that is the whoooole reason I take them shopping! If they can afford it what do they need me for?

The concept of gift giving seems to be missed by you guys here

jhidey08:
he never told u he is playing game, I don't c him as a maga but a guy who doesn't lyk dragging issues with people, I respect his decision.

No the man is an eediot - look at the scenario.

If someone takes you shopping, you will use the opportunity to buy something you wouldnt normally buy for yourself. Whether or not you can affor it is irrelevant.

Deji's reasoning is like that of a goat.

He could have said the bag is too expensive and ask the girl to be considerate.

If a millionaire was taking me shopping I won't start looking at price tags as if i was the one paying??

Abi what was the purpose of taking her to a highbrow shop? Deji is a mumu

i have a handbag that costs 600k - imo it was a waste of money.

Now the guy is a premium level of mumu, no1 is shopping ideal for a first date?

You cant go to a restaurant and have a conversation? Visit a gallery or a show?

go to a bar and have drinks? or at least watch a movie and talk about it after?

and he bought the bag for her then dumped her? no he isn't winning here. His magarity knows no bounds.

please - the problem is that that you have allowed a bunch of thieves to hold the country to ransom.

first increase the number of NNPC stations to make subsidized fuel available to those that want to queue for it.

Remove subsidy everywhere else!

Then we need to investigate what exactly is going on, I suspect the rot in the NNPC is from the top, to source fuel for a petrol station is a headache and even they don't buy the fuel at subsidized prices. So who is collecting the subsidy? If ever a forensic audit was needed . . . . . .

Bamidele, I see you looking for appointments. . . . .

ba7man:
Jimi had the poise and charisma but he's largely untested in any public office + The party he ws in + The Politicians that surrounded him + the disastrous ethnic campaign.


If he contested under APC, he would have won by a wide margin.

you are 100%

absolutely right!

Although Jimi disappointed me with his divide and conquer campaign strategies. I'm all for doing what you need to win an election but as a yoruba man he should know to respect his people.

ba7man:
I'm not too sure either but he has experienced people working with him so that should help + Fashola's mentorship.

I heard Fashola didn't support his candidature, we will soon find out sha. Jimi was my choice for Lagos.

they are hilarious!

take away his ineptitude and incompetence, the dude is very likable, probably the most media friendly president Nigeria has ever had!

ba7man:
Not as if I like danfos nd such but if it costs N40million to put cabs on Calabar roads, it will cost N400 million to do the same on Lagos roads + hundreds of thousands of ex-criminal minded danfo drivers will loose their jobs.......and be back to crime.

Replacing danfos, if not handled properly can distabilize the whole Lagos State.

That's why its problems can't be compared to any State, thus, only the best individuals can Govern Lagos.

I doubt Ambode is one of 'the best' but I will like to be proven wrong.
