You sound very learned, smart, articulate decisive and bold that's a very big turn on for me really wish I could meet you in person
Taquin: This one is for the babes who are starting to question their worth because of what they see online. I turn 30 next Sunday, so I believe I’m in a good place to write this, not from a place of fear, but from experience and sense.
Over the last few months, I’ve seen some wild comments from men on Nairaland. Things like “after 7”, “evening newspaper”, “depleted ovaries”… you name it. But let me tell you: that’s not on you. That’s on them.
If you're feeling down because of these words, pause and breathe. . These men; the ones who use these terms. I’ve studied them. Yes, I went through their old posts. The youngest among them is about 43. 😂 Imagine a 43-year-old man online calling women expired. God forbid my own future husband is wasting his time typing such rubbish on a forum. One even replied me once saying I should "rest". This is someone struggling to pay N150k school fees for his 8-year-old child and rent somewhere in the bush in Ikorodu. 😭 Another one, sleeping in the office Monday to Friday because transport to Ajah will eat his entire salary. We already had our third degree by 23 but one man from Ogbomosho thinks he would be doing me a favour by marrying me. These same people shouting “in saner climes” but the only airport they have seen is from watching James Bond movies. 😭😭😭
And these are the same ones screaming "I can't marry a 25+ year old, they’re too old." At 40+? You’re not even ashamed. Ato ole.
Ladies, these are the ones calling you evening newspaper. Do you now see that it has nothing to do with you? If you’re here and you’re worried about these people, don’t be. This message is not for the real men who respect women and are just struggling financially. My message for you is: it’ll be okay soon, amen.
Now for the rest of us baby girls 👸🏽: There’s a flawed logic these same men like to push. This idea of "100 women to 1 man". It’s a lie. Statistically, there are more men than women in Nigeria and in the world. You can Google it. They just use that flawed stat to make women feel desperate. Let me say this clearly girls: If you are not earning your own money, you have no business dating. Once you start making money, your standards go up naturally. That’s why you’ll see Regina Daniels with a Ned Nwoko, but you’ll never see Temi Otedola with Dangote. 😏 I saw a thread the other day. One Nairaland uncle asking for advice on dating an 18-year-old. By page 2, he had mentioned giving money to her mother. So please, work. Even if it’s small. Take yourself on mini-vacations within Nigeria. Join clubs. Play sports. I play chess. In fact, there’s no antichess player in Africa better than me. Just recently, I came 3rd out of 2,500 players globally in the Antichess World Championship . 💅🏽 I’m also starting Pilates with my girls, and I’m going to take standard chess seriously again. I want to become Nigeria’s first grandmaster by age 37. So please my girls: 1. Buy good skincare. 2. Learn how to do your makeup — Mac, Fenty, Lancôme… get at least one. 3. Look younger, stay fresh. 4. Don’t ever beg for transport fare to go on a date. 🙅🏽♀️
Don’t settle because some man with a “Akungba university 1984” ID is calling you names online. 😭 Look at Asa Asika. Look at Davido. Look at Toolz and Tunde. Real rich kids marry close in age because they’re not looking for desperation, they’re looking for a match. Take your time. Don’t lower your crown. Someone will love you fully with money, respect, maturity, and peace of mind. There’s someone for everyone. Just don’t rush because of what these agbado philosophers are saying on Nairaland . 😂 Remember: When they say “You’re too old,” just remember, The only thing outdated is their mindset which expired after Jonathan’s first tenure. Stop explaining your standards to people who’ve never met them. There’s a man for every woman and yours will see your worth without needing you to shrink or beg for it. So to every woman reading this: You’re not behind. Evening newspaper still has breaking news. Bye baby girls

Seun: I had a long phone chat with an old friend of mine who I previously had a public falling out with. We agreed to disagree about religion and family life, and promised each other not to allow our differences of opinion to be a stumbling block to our friendship anymore.
We also committed to doing business together. I will buy a beautiful duplex from his company and consult them when I need to travel. He will buy 7.5% of Nairaland at a very attractive valuation and become a director of our company so that we can benefit from his vast experience.
It feels so good to be on good terms again! I urge you to follow our example if you're currently not on good terms with any old friend.
EreluRoz: Should she even collect the money? Once it's marriage you must never at any time bruise your man's ego. Personally I'll tell him I don't need his money and also caution him never to try such. As someone who hardly gets angry, I don't even see his reaction to be anything. We will sort it out at home.
hello dear how are you doing. Please are you married?
Deeprooted I ve been trying to reach you for days now, please reach out to me 09068226167
Deeprooted: Don't know if this is the right section for this but please pardon my ignorance.
This morning, a young man whose car was parked closed to mine, was in a hurry while bringing out his phone from his pocket to answer a call, in the process 3 bills of 100 dollars slipped out of his pocket.
Without his knowledge, I picked up the money and tapped him from behind and handed it to him and this young man could not even say "Thank you" .
I didn't do it to be appreciated but it's only right to appreciate people.
Please let's not miss every opportunity to appreciate good gestures

This head butt story has so many versions to it with both players saying different things.
Abegi!
sorry brother I beg to disagree you on this one, de two players gave de same account of the event the only difference is that materazzi is just speaking about it now.i remember clearly watching an interview where zidane narrated what happened he said materazzi was tugging on his shirt so much then he told materazzi to take it easy so as not to tear Jessy, zidane went ahead to razzi that they will swap Jessie's after the game but Razzi told zizi that he would rather have zizi's sister than, this triggered zizi's reaction. Zizi's narrated this in 2006 he spoke in french but de interview had an English interpreter
Mossadd: This zinolezky or zelenz is a stupid Comedian he think he Stand a chance against Russia 100k US can not safe him from this mess.its either he's captured like a rat or he escaped to Poland I even expect him to give ak47 to his patriotic family members too or they are above those that can defend their country?
make your research very well both him and his wife has picked up arms and are in front line since Friday
Compliment of the season everyone Am really frustrated right now. I don't understand why federal government keep threatening to disconnect mobiles and bank accounts that are not linked to NIN. While the same fg is frustrating the efforts of the masses and extorting the masses at the same time. When I enrolled for my NIN in August 2021 I was made to pay 2500 naira before I will be enrolled and I was told that it will take 40 days for it to be validated. From August till now it is still yet to be validated,second week of December I went back to the place I did the enrollment and I was told that I should go to the Secretariat if I can no longer wait or I hold until anytime they validate it. I went to NIN office at federal Secretariat and I was told by the NIN officials that I will have to bribe them with 10000 and they will validated it instantly but if I can't give them the money I should go home and continue waiting, my questions now is if 250 million Nigerians pay 2500 for enrollment and 10000 for validation who takes the money. Is Dis money remitted to de government?
Headlesschicken: n what bout those whom carry mermaids in d name of prostitutes Phuck n pay them n still jam big problems like loosing dia jobs or dia life...

A Pastor has been caught red-handed sleeping with a married woman on his church altar.The video which has gone viral was recorded by passers-by and the Pastor was seen "swinging" behind the naked lady who is believed to be his church member.
The people who caught them in the act, subjected them to severe beating while filming the whole encounter. The shamed-faced Ghanaian lovers asked for forgiveness and promised not to do that again.
Laughnow419: So let me summarize very briefly for those who hate long writeups. the experience with the police, lawyers and banks as none could help.
What happened was that this Facebook user made a fake alert deceiving my friend that he has sent 2000 usd to her via western union. He told her he wanted to send with the normal black markets but due to covid-19 it isn't available. And this was weekends she would have propably tried withrawing from the bank first. So since she has seen the fake alert from western union with the hope of getting her money on monday she started sending money and she was told it was for hospital bills of his dad. So long story short after the scam was uncovered she sent the email to Firstbank so they told her nothing could be done from their end that she has to meet the police. Then she met the police they told her first to bring 20k. Then she told me I agreed since they'll block the account. The police told her they no longer use bankers order. So she has to pay 80k, and the woman let her know that is not all. And she is not guaranteeing her success. She then came back. Then we adviced her to meet a lawyer he said to have a court order she must bring 100k first.
So after the whole drama she went again to Firstbank office they told her they are sorry and there is nothing they can do, then they adviced her to go to Lagos saying the email she sent was for their lagos branch.
