🤔

I feel your pain bruv, hang in there. Japa has its pros and cons. Look at the brighter side of things.

I prefer the former though.

Mrsoft3:
Have you traveled by air before?

How was the experience?


Come share some tips for first timers.


Here is mine:

Flight was scheduled to leave by 4:35 from jos airport to Lagos via Abuja.

Flight ticket was booked and I headed straight to the airport, we did weighing of luggage and straight to the ticket booth where I submitted my booking ticket and passport.

My bag was tagged and sent to the loading truck.

We then went to the immigration section and checked after which I was shown to the waiting hall for departures.

Flight arrived from Lagos and touched down at 4:15pm in Jos with Abuja and jos passengers, when they finish alighting an announcement came from that their loud speaker and we lined up for ticket checks and body check then straight to boarding.

After we had sat down in the plane the hostesses welcomed us on board and the normal demonstration about safety started, I was just calm and over calm that gave me away sha. But I don’t think anybody noticed.

The plane taxied to the runway and I was eager to feel the speed rush. And when it was time for take off I smiled when the plane engaged the engine for speed.

I sha fasten my seat belt very well and I sat close the the window.

My stomach did one kind fine sweet feeling like this and it was awesome. Had some turbulence because of weather but it was a cool flight that day.

April 2012, I was to travel to Lagos by road from Kaduna for a friend's wedding but my younger brother (God rest his beautiful soul) said I gotcha big sis. He was scheduled to attend a function in Lagos around that time so he booked our flights for about noon ish. Instead of going to the airport straight, I stopped to collect D*** from my on & off boyfriend Femi (e no go better for am). Lol. My brother was already at the airport, pissed while waiting for him. The ticketing officer or whatever they call them had an emergency (her house was being demolished) so she went berserk ad abandoned her desk leaving us stranded until the final boarding was announced.That was how we lost our flights including a senior military officer who was also supposed to be on that flight. We were attended to but asked to pay extra 11k so my brother paid 22k for us sha.
That was how they rescheduled our flight to the last flight for the day, I think 7:45 or thereabout.
So after the long wait, we finally checked in. We didn't know exactly what to do or expect so we watched the other passengers who also missed their flights were doing. We checked in and finally got onto the plane. We were all giggly and excited like kids excited about their favorite candy. We started looking for our seats and found it. My seat was the window seat but my brother begged me so he could see the view even though it was already dark. At that moment, he reminded me why he wanted us to fly during the day so he could see everything clearly. I had to apologise to him.
So we sat down and a lady also sat at the 3rd seat. She brought out her phone a Blackberry and removed her battery. We brought out ours and did the same not knowing why. She saw what we did and smiled. She had to explain that she did tat just to save her battery and we told her that was why we did that too. She wasn't convinced but wetin concern her? Anyways, the take off was smooth because we were expecting something else. You know how you see some people throw up or act funny in movies during take off so we were actually expecting that sort of stuff but disappointingly, nothing happened. The flight was smooth until we landed at Lagos Airport.

Forgive my gbagun please!

That $2M per year is way too high. Must be money laundering.

President Trump should look into this.

Misogynist!

I laugh in betrayal 😂😂😂

I remember this day like yesterday. My friend's elder brother Jay was in front of their house at Badarawa when some Muslims youths sighted him. He was just outside observing the whole situation. He ran inside the compound to one of their tenants flat; a muslim woman after she insisted religion will not allow them enter a married woman's apartment in the absence of her husband.

These youths insisted he comes out or they will enter his (Jay's flat) and kill whoever was there. Jay had to make the ultimate sacrifice. He stepped outside. All the Muslim women around pleaded with these idiots, begged, cried and these MFs burnt him alive...right in front of their gate. I was born and raised in Badarawa. Badarawa was fun until it became a beehive and central hub of religious crisis. My family and I left that area in April 2002 after the Miss World crisis...never to return! Continue resting Jay Ajan.

Uchesis:
So how can a man be generous if he doesn't have money?

No Nigerian woman can even see a man as friendly if he cannot do subs or send airtime

You think my problem is sub and airtime? Anyways, I am not going to indulge you. Keep generalizing!

Iamcute:
Let's get to know each other..

Ok

DAramis:
Just stay safe. And be security conscious. Your previous reply to the person looking for girlfriend made me to check out your profile , and saw the news.

Only asked from a harmless point of view

Thank you very much. I appreciate your concern. Stay safe and blessed too!

Iamcute:
Perfecto but then you still find it hard to fall in LOVE

🤦‍♀️

MrLibrarian:
Hi! Kindly check your dm

👍

DAramis:
How time flies. I remember when this news broke on the Nigerian network space, and the killers captured later.

Rest on Cynthia.

@Rebsy, I do hope your family is strong and doing well ? And this incident did not weigh them down much?

God has been faithful. Thank you.

LoverOfEvil:
And all that doesn't relate to material things?

Must everything be material? Well, it's your opinion though!

LoverOfEvil:
See how you sneaked kindness in
What is kindness?

''the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.''

Dictionary definition for your information please!

BareFacedLies:
Ignore that guy, he's one of the professional beggers we have on this forum and he has nothing to offer you.

He'll just expand your pússy for nothing

Lol he won't even see it, thanks for letting me know.

LoverOfEvil:
Is relationship/marriage a poverty alleviation scheme?

No one said anything about material things. How about companionship, respect, loyalty, emotional support, friendship, kindness etc?

RealityKings:
I'm old enough to hug, kiss and make love to a woman.
I'm looking for a female with good command of English and high sense of humour.

Lol that’s all you have to offer? There’s more to relationship/marriage than what you just described.

How old you? What are you looking for?

Stick to your current job and decline the other offer. A bird in hand is better than two in the bush. Just keep applying your breakthrough might just be around the corner.

Quite insightful!

Some weeks ago, this thread titled: "Not All 30yrs Old Ladies Were Approached By Serious Men In Their 20's" graced the Nairaland front page.

Here is a link to the thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7368480/not-all-30yrs-old-ladies

It is highly impossible that averagely pretty and above-average pretty ladies didn't meet serious men in their 20s. It is not possible. The problem with many ladies is that they have a very poor selection and also have a very bad attitude that chases good men away.

I am going to share my recent experience with 3 ladies and why I decided to walk away.

Lady 1: I had been chatting with this lady on Twitter without asking for her number. It has been on and off for more than one year. So about 3 months ago, I decided to ask for her number, which she delayed but later gave it on the same day.

For the records, this lady is pretty, she looks very much like Rita Dominic, very striking resemblance. Just to give you an idea that she is pretty.

We chatted a few times and then I decided to call. The first two were brief but the 3rd was much longer and somewhat boring because I was doing most of the topic or angle infusion, more like I was the one bringing up topics to sustain the interactions.

Before that 3rd call, I sent an SMS to ask if she was still at work and she replied to the SMS and said she was still at work. So I had to wait for about 1 hour before I called.

After the call, I texted her to say she has a good voice. I asked whether she sings or loves singing. It was just an innocent question borne out of curiosity because I could imagine she is a good singer with such a voice

She didn't reply to the SMS. Of course, I expected that, knowing how ladies behave over something as simple as that. While on Twitter, I asked whether she got the SMS, and she said that she saw it but didn't have airtime to reply lol...

That was a lie of course. I wonder why she would lie, perhaps she wanted to "form" or what? Ma'am, it was just a simple curious question.

I decided to take a stroll to her profile that same day and there I saw what completely turned me off. On her profile, she said people think she enjoys calls but she does not want calls and that they will think chatting her up on WhatsApp is better but she does not enjoy that either.

If that is the case, why give your number out? Why not isolate yourself from people entirely so that no one interacts with you? Are you better than those who took out time to spend it with you via calls?

I interpreted her mentality and worldview as someone who feels too important and does appreciate the effort of people who try to reach out to her or interact.

On seeing that, It was disappointing to note what she thought of others who called or chatted her up, I mean these are people's time that can't be gotten back lol.

Lady 2: This one is from Twitter as well. We started talking from a thread and I decided to DM her. I liked her energy. She was light and responsive, very open and communicative.

She started asking for my picture because I do not display my picture on Twitter. I was reluctant initially but sent it cos she persisted... after much chat, we exchanged numbers and I chatted her up on WhatsApp 2 days later. We talked about hanging out in December but she said she would be traveling to her state for the festive season.

While we were chatting, I had called before then, I simply asked whether she has entered another relationship after the last one she mentioned on Twitter.

Guess her response? she said "Do you have money to spend on my head"? For a less than 1 week interaction?

Oh, God... I knew I wouldn't want to have anything to do with this one beyond WhatsApp or Twitter. I reduced my interactions with her and it died.

For the two ladies above, I do not often remember they are on my contact anymore except when I see their status lol.

Let's move on

Lady 3: Met this one after church and we were going in the same direction. I spoke to her and we exchange numbers. We chatted, and I called. We arranged to meet up. On the day of our meeting, which was the first after that Sunday, she asked me whether I have knowledge of digital marketing or social media marketing. I said I do but it is not something that can be discussed on WhatsApp, except we meet so that I can explain it to her.

Though chatting her up was very slow as she is rarely online. She takes a few hours to reply lol.

We met and the meeting was more of a lecture with me answering all her questions. I enjoyed it anyway.

Knowing that I exchanged numbers because I was attracted to her, I had to find a way to subtly give hint. Now, here is the challenge I had. She increasingly started replying with monosyllables like "yeah", okay, no, lol, ,

On noticing that, I knew it was time to exit from her life and I did.

The above 3 ladies are pretty facially and above average... With their attitude that made me leave them alone, tomorrow, they will come online to write "Not All 30yrs Old Ladies Were Approached By Serious Men In Their 20's" lol and some persons will be saying it is true blah blah...

Girls are the architect of their own misfortune. You will see a man being a decent gentleman and develop a habit that chases them away. In the same vein, they will accept the guys who do not have any good intentions toward them.

Others may believe that thread but definitely not me. I do not believe that a girl, especially the pretty ones, will live from age 1 to 30 and never come across a man with good intentions. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE!

Everyone is talking about how much he's going to sell it and forgot to mention how he might spend half or more of that to customs during clearance.

kingsolium:
Good morning house, pls I need your views and opinions on this subject matter.

Ok, I currently work with an FMCG Coy in Ibadan as an inventory officer where I earn N175k net on a monthly basis. It’s important to state here that I was living in Lagos prior to my getting this FMCG job.

So, I moved to Ibadan 2 months ago and
currently put up with a friend in his apartment while I try to figure out how to move my stuffs to Ibadan on relocation basis. But along the line, I got a job with a big agricultural establishment affiliated to a multinational agricultural firm and I’m being offered N259k for a start excluding other benefits such as airtime(15k) which is different from my main salary.

Also note that the N259k is gross so my take home could be around N230k or thereabouts.

Now here’s the challenge. This new job is in Kaduna(the state capital) and I’ve not been to kaduna before. So, house what do you think about this. I need your candid, sincere and factual advice on this matter.

Thank you

Yes safety first but Kaduna isn’t as bad as painted. Does this position align with your career path and growth? Above all, follow your instincts, your intuition will always tell you what you’re afraid to tell yourself. In case you make up your mind, holla when you’re in KD.

Yeah I know it’s tough probably because both of you haven’t been apart since you got married. I have an honest question though; if this was an overseas job maybe Canada or US, will you stop her from going? There are certain sacrifices we need to make at some point in time in our lives. Pray & let God guide you.

The Ahmed I know has a lot of personal issues and anger is one of them. I’m jejely waiting for someone to come out & accuse him of the other one. That one will surely break the internet. I’m sure it’ll come up sooner or later. A leopard never changes its skin abi na how dem dey talk am sef!

Baby girls
.

Some of us are single and not ready to mingle. Reasons may differ but for some ladies it could be because they are working on themselves while for some there's no one yet..


Share with us your experience so far being single.

.
I took some time off to work on myself , buried myself with work & now ready to mingle. In all honesty, it’s not easy especially when the loneliness hits hard but hopefully it’ll be worth the wait!

You’re obviously blinded by her beauty. Decision is yours to make Sir. Remember as you lay your bed, so shall you lie on it!

They were slained for their country... and their country remembers them not!

What an irony of life. Sad!

LiftedMan:
So I just called the Nigerian Embassy in Qatar, And guess what? It's was Indian Guy that spoke to me, imagine that. Someone informed me that it's not strange to find foreigners working in Nigerian embassies.

They're called 'local staff & it's not just Nigerians that do that!
