[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=294608.msg4361566#msg4361566 date=1250439108]Of course, 6-1 is better than 1-0. . . .but we are looking at Arsenal's pedigree here.
They always seem to run a marathon like 100m sprint and die before they get to the finish line.
If Chelsea or Liverpool had copped 6-1 result on the opening day, i will be scared but ARSENAL?? Forget it.[/quote]o ga o its just d 1st game and all u arsewipe supporters are shouting hallelujah, did they give u more dan 3points for the 6 goals, well either 1 nil or 6-1 its all 3points diff is goal diff so get ur facts rite arsewipes, no disrespect to u personally o

Nothing for Manchester United today. I can't wait to see Nana trying to do CRonaldo's moves and embarrassing himself.
Ronaldo is a good play but you have to remember its a TEAM game not 1 man show.b4 ronaldo we have been winning and after him we will still win so get it right.

ONE UNITED, UNITED 4 LYFE

that show would have to go on for 20 seasons because there are so many cars that need work.


isnt west africa's next top model suppose to be on now (well they say west africa but its really only nigerians in it. the auditions were held only in nigeria, so i suppose its only nigerians. they might as well call it nigeria's next top model.
ghana had their own but i think after two seasons it got canceled. sad )

WEST AFRICA'S (NIGERIA'S) NEXT TOP MODEL NEEDS TO COME ON ALREADY!!
i bet it would get more views than the koko mansion and the concept would be a lot better.
and people would watch just to see oluchi host it, man i love that girl!!
WEST AFRICA'S (NIGERIA'S) NEXT TOP MODEL, HURRY UP ALREADY!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING MORE THAN 5 MONTHS.
also NNENNA FROM AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL SEASON 6, AND AMINAT FROM AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL SEASON 12 I THINK, CAN MAKE A GUEST APPEARENCE OR GUEST JUDGE. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

[b]@ poster

seems the thread is too long to accommodate my post, but while going through others i came up with this ;

Why would a sensible man want to marry a childish fantasizing wife at her age?
why would a man derive fulfillment from someone living in some Disney land?
why would a man wish to associate by any means with someone with Hollywood mentality?
You know one funny thing about BIG MEN PIKIN? they always have a lot of growing up to do even @ old age. though i feel it is not your friend but you, but in anycase

you/your friend has a lot of growing up to do

so as she prepares to become a married lady, she has not made contact with reality, how does the 24k gold guarantee her happiness in that marriage, material things re mostly appreciated when it comes as a gift, if she scores high in the marriage, the guy may be so thrilled to even give her more.

anyways
why pay more to marry a cartoon watching wife when i know the same religion that permits her to make demands permits me to marry more women. grin grin

WOW, TRUE TALK

@r231,

I got no bubbles burst. Al posts i wrote in other pages are true. As much as we hide our identities on this foprum, our personalities must reflect thru, maybe i got your last post wrong.

Wen i mean dream, its not day dream, it's hoping where you want to be tomorrow, what you want out of your life. I've always wanted to own a house in abuja before the age of 30. I had that dream since i was 21, and it's come to reality. that's what i mean my dear.
According to Oprah,
" the key to realizing a dream is to focus not only on success but significance- and then, even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning, "

I won't join issues with you,  we all meet on this forum by chance from different paths of life. I don't have to prove anything about my personal life okay. And pls, don't feel bad when a lady does something a man is considered worthy of doing,  encourage her cos she might even be your sister. I work hard for my money and have a will to invest it however i like. As i said I DREAM TO REALITY ,  WHAT'S YOUR DREAM?
First of all I am not the one dat burst your bubbles, was just going by what I saw and if its TRUE more grease to your elbow I am proud of you, As for working hard trust me I work extra harder for me and my partner to go around the globe and be able to do things we both like.

As for my DREAM, sorry darling I live in reality and I am doing well enough to cover my tracks, take care of my family and also do what I think is worth doing back home for future purposes.

@ Agitator, all posts are so true of me, and you can see that i'm a strong feminist. I'm so proud to be building a house in abuja at the age of 29. that shows i know quite a lot about investment.

My friend doesn't need his gold to enrich herself,  she's got a few for herself as most ladies do in jewelry. Her salary in a month is almost half of the gold's worth. so pls don't call her a gold digger.

INTERESTING, den tell her to buy it and let the man present it to her. Its not like he didn't love her except you state otherwise.

I can see that most negative responses are from men ,  that shows the reasn why Nigerian women are unhappy mostly in marriages . man prefer to spend a whole lot on friends, extended family and even girlfriends ,  and end upleaving their wives and kids to simple monthly or no allowance.


totally disagree if she is making GOLD money at the end of each month then why should money/finance be an issue.

YOU MEN SHOULD HAVE A SERIOUS RETHINK FROM YOUR STINGY WAYS AND LEARN TO PRIORITIZE,  SPENDING MONEY ON YOUR WIFE / MOTHER OF YOUR FUTURE KIDS , ESP. ON TANGIBLE PROPERTIES IS NEVER NEVER A WASTE. HOLY HEAVENS!!!![b][/b]

I am glad my fiancée don't  think like you.

To all those who flow and understand me,  good for you . I now fully understand the statement ,  " POVERTY IS A STATE OF MIND" Thats why some people never succeed and even know what to do when they prosper. I realised why Nigerians have a very high level of heart failure/ high blood pressure. Majority of us don't know how to enjoy and invest in life the right way. Those who think buying gold bars / coins is a waste of money,  shame on you. You should concentrate more on the economics of investement. 24 k Gold never falls short of its value, in fact , it gets more expensive as it gets older with you (particularly if its bought from a reputable manufacturer) it becomes an antique over time. Ever wonder how some people become extremely rich over night after the sale of a painting or portrait or even on things as odd as a bottle of wine. some things appreciate so well over the years and add a great deal to ones wealth.

How many of you out there have lost money to the crumble of the stock excange,  or don't you know that a brand new car starts depreciating the moment it is bought? For those who wonder my questioning his choice of a car gift to his sister. well i can tell you for sure that the sister contributed nothing to his life as she got married at the age of 20 while he (my friend's fiance) is 40 years old. so tell me what good she could have contributed to his struggle to the top.And mind you. The sister's wedding was in May this year and i'm VERY SURE the economy has hit rock bottom by then,  yet he had such money to spend . Girls out there,  may you never meet a man who is controlled by his mother,  everyone around knows the mother adviced him to but the sistyer a car since she had none. so who's the real gold digger herehuh

As for those who say i know too much of my friends relationship,  that's cos we are like sisters,  we confide in each other all thru life. some girlfriends feel more comfortable having personal discussions with their female best friends rather than partents. And mind you, her paretnts had not influenced her choice of dowry. They are responsible citizens and parents. Don't blame her for her dream,  pls dream your dream and start enjoying life ,
You know that is a different subject, you said that she wanted it for bride price/dowry whatever you want to call it NOT for both of them to keep till Jesus come so get it right.

Again you sound like u have beef and hatred for the sister, so what if she didn't do nothing for him, you r not in the position to judge that

PS. If you need some investment lecture let me know its free some times you don't need to go to school for that COMMON SENSE. we are all educated to some level here.

Thanks Ioma, I agree that we have a lot to learn about marriage. infact , everyone does, poor people too have divorces. my pal doesn't look at high priced things all the time, they enjoy visiting Gurara fals, cotonou and Ghana road trips etc. My Christian background doesn't provide me the right to demand dowry. but My friend is only exercising her religious given rights, and she definately knows what her fiance can afford conveniently.

You know, some men don't mind spending 10 or 15 million on a car. or sponsoring a friends wedding reception running into milions but find it difficult making tangible investment on their women, that's when they realse the sweat put in to make the money , sad
Please do not find what I am saying offensive, some men don't like their woman to hang out with friends cus of some pple like you cus to me you knw too much in this ppls relationship (WHERE THEY GO, WHAT THEY EAT, HOW MUCH HE SPENDS AND WHO & WHAT HE SPENDS IT ON are you like their Accountant or something) So what if he spends on his family all this while that he has been taking your friend places and stuff now becomes ZERO jus cus he is not buying 24K GOLD BAR.

Well you have talked about his mother, sister and friends that he has done something for but but haven't mentioned anything about the kind of advice that you actually gave your friend in all this,

The man and the woman will sleep together on the day of wedding in the wife's family house,  and in the morning if the girl is a true virgin the husband will give more to the inlaws if he wishes ,  but if she is not a virgin,  The husband will not greet anyone in that house that morning before he heads home,  he will spit in front of the girl's parents and just leave, and after his best men will come for the money or fight with the inlaws
