Yorubas cannot stand for anything. Very untrustworthy, unreliable and unprincipled set of people.

Blasted be your mouth! You can insult an individual, not a race.

I thought you were going to offer suggestions.

Just send the rival out and ask him to continue with me. He will have to do more rounds than we normally did, say times 2. Otherwise, he see ma red eye o.

Why did you indulge him for that long?. I know you've enjoyed some perks; and now you are jittery he's going for the kill after your initial encouragement. You asked for it: No case.
Madam, face your work and draw the line between business and romance.

I haven't looked at all the normal girls, is it a locomotive I will then admire? No way!

Our company recently employed this guy, we worked in the same company before, then he was a manager and i was a junior staff.

I left the company years ago and joined another, so few months ago he got employed in my new office as a Director.

When he resumed, being that i knew him before, i started playing around with him, like when he was introduced to us, i was like oo, common, i hug him tightly and people were surprise at our closeness before i informed them that we have worked together before.

I am a jovial person, so each time i go around his office, i will call him boyfriend, my love, hope no girl is trespassing cos i will fight o and his subordinates will laugh and say you are not serious.

On the job, we get to work together at times cos i am a Manager now, we go for meetings etc, then some of his job includes doing some short production, even though i am not employed as a video producer, i told him i can do those for him personally, cos i recently learn those, he was surprise before but he decided to give me a try, i did it for him and he liked it, he became close and said i was helping him solve alot of problems.

Recently when he comes to my office, he will ask my PA where is my woman and that one will laugh knowing i started it but i just thought that was it though.

So last month when we went to the Palms Mall, to seek for permission to film their facilities in the short production work we had, we were together then he decided to do some shopping, i helped him carry the things he bought and just had fun, he took me to shoprite and ask me to shop, i just pick two things, drink and rice and he said is that all i said yes, he started showing me things, take this, take that i said i was okay, that it wasnt appropriate to come here and start shopping like its month end. So we left, in the car he said, you do have some very good attribute girl, i said like what, he said never mind and we drove off.

After that he started asking if we can have lunch but most time our lunch time dont sync, so i told him not to worry, then he asked for a dinner, i close late, im a workaholic, so most times i will agree but i will work till 9pm and he would have waited and get tired and left.

Finally i get to have a dinner date with him and he ask if we could do this more often, i said why not boyfriend jokingly, the next time we were having dinner, I said boyfriend let me greet that guy there, i really needed to meet him, he has a contact i need for work, he held me and said you call me boyfriend jokingly, i want you to mean it lol.

After i met with the guy, he started telling me how he loved me and how he will really love us to be in a relationship, he doesnt expect a yes and he knows its so wrong on all level because we work in the same place, but i can think about it and give him a response later that he will respect any decision i make.

I said thank you o, but since then, dude is so soft and nervous when he sees me, i can see the butterflies even when we are in a client meeting.

Even though he tries not to make it obvious at work, after work he is all over me

Last night we were together, i told him i am scared as he is almost 40 and not married, that i believe any guy who gets to that age, with enough money but has not married is a play boy lol. He couldn't say a word for like some minutes then he said, yes i am old enough to have been married and i had relationships, beautiful relationships with wonderful women, some didn't work because of my mistakes and because of things i neglected and some didn't work because it was not meant to work, but above all have learnt alot to be at least a better man and i am ready to make it work this time i promise, i have no doubt if you are the right girl because have known you for long and have never had a second thought about my woman, so forgive me for not making it work all these while, i want to make it right this time - MEHN THOSE WORDS RINGS IN MY HEAD LIKE KILODE, i loved the fact that he didnt put the blame on the ladies he's dated.

Now on my own side, I do not feel anything for him but i like him alot, i like that we should be hanging out, go out, do dinner and talk from morning tonight but i do not feel anything aside that. What do you guys advise.

Free him if you don't love him. Don't waste his time any further.

She may be attractive, but I prefer ladies without extra baggage.

Watch that movie: Coming to America. You'll see how a prince left the opulence of the palace to become a cleaner in another country before he found a wife.
I think you should do the following:
1. Take a vacation.
2. Leave the posh life for a while(you may rent a 3-bedroom flat)
3. Mix with members of middle social class
4. Be cheerful, don't be arrogant and don't flaunt your wealth around.
5. Be prayerful and fast to ask God the type if man you need.

Let's start with concord: Subject - verb concord. The basic rule is that singular subjects go with singular verbs while plural subjects will take plural verbs. But problems ensue in some cases that are not straightforward.

1. Everyone likes school.
2. Measles is dangerous.
3. Rice and beans is my favourite food.
4. Lawmans and Company is a reputable firm.
The subjects in these examples are singular, the verbs are, therefore, singular.

For most Nigerians, English is not a mother tongue; but it is an official language for all. It is a language of wider communication among people who don't speak the same language. So, for now, everyone must learn to use English.

On Nairaland, we communicate mostly in English and many people make mistakes. I think we can tap from the knowledge of graduates of English on this forum to perfect our written English. Let us bring errors to this thread and correct them. Tutors must explain issues and provide back up evidence to support their claims.

Please, this is not to ridicule anyone; but to improve our performance in the language. It is also not an avenue for padding our ego. Let the tutor teach and the learner learn without rancour.

Pray, what's she tryna prove? What's her gain? Money? Fame?

A vehicle I boarded in my village was climbing a hill. It could not go further after getting to the middle! The was moving back and the driver tried to manoeuvre. It failed. The bus tumbled twice before it stopped rolling down. Many sustained injuries, but thank God, none died.

If you're presently looking for a girl without a past to marry, then you're not ready for the future (to settle down)...There is none without a past, including you!

Not totally true, Bro. They might be few like virgins, but they do exist. Anyway, virgins don't have such 'pasts'.

When you look for what is not lost, prepare to get what you weren't expecting. Our ancestors have been using love potion for ages, but I've never come across this kind of thing. Anyway, I suggest you look for other Indians online and ask for their assistance.

The guy is an animal. Even if she were his wife he's got no right to treat her that way. What happens to quiting the affair

The guy became an animal because the woman turned into a dog. Romeo and Juliet things if you ask me.

Wish you a successful womanhunt.

Op, what is one night stand?

It only means the guy is for food only!
