ebubeson: One of the killers of marriage is dating different wrong people before meeting the right partner. At this point, such a person may be so broken to the point that when the right partner comes, the feeling may be "adulterated" or "polluted" because of past hurts or frustrations. You were so loving, caring and faithful to the wrong partners while dating, now you have the right partner and you are probably rude, watchful and careless.. Lessons: It is better to wait and marry the right person without dating, than dating several people before marrying.
A quick one. How will one know he's the right person?
tonytony208: If you don't have transport to visit someone you are dating, what you need is a job and not a relationship.
A full grown adult expecting another adult to pay her transport fare. Rubbish
If you don't have a transport to give to a girl you're dating, stop inviting her to your house. Stay in your space. After all, there's no tangible thing you're inviting her for aside seex
zangaozanga: broke girls are the problem of nigeria
Few days ago some bunch of useless NL men called me a gold digger because I admired LeBron James' son.
Ñow tell me, what the ratio of Nigerian men who marry old white women to that of Nigerian women who marry old white men?
Nigerian men have first class in gold digging.
wirinet: Most Nigerian men who marry old white women do so for Green Card and not gold digging. You will find out that they abandon the old white women for younger black women once they obtain the green card. Meanwhile, the reverse is the case for Nigerian women marrying old white (or black) men. Its all about the gold.
They do so for the white women's wealth. Ever heard a Nigerian man married a poor white woman?
Demayour: Does relationship have nothing to do with the will and agreement between a couple again? Is transport fare the determinant of a relationship?
If she can't provide for her own transportation fare and she has to ask, what does that make her? A dignified individual?
Let men give that kind of money from their own will. That gives a woman self-respect and dignity in the relationship too.
Let's everyone stay in their houses. STOP THE INVITE!!!
Any man who invites a lady to his house and does not provide transportation fare is more useless than the lady who asks for transportation money. Why would you initiate a visit if you are not ready to take the responsibility?
Osashalom: When the men visit you, do you also give them transportation fare?
Good question. I will give him transportation fare if;
1. I initiated the invitation. 2. His coming is for my own good.
But if he just wake up and start coming to my place uninvited he will bear the cost of transportation and even feeding.
We all know that no Nigerian girl will just wake up and start going to a man's house.
These men always initiate the invite. They tell the ladies to come probably for their own selfish reason so they should pay.
If the cost of pleasure is expensive, try the cost of displeasure
Nefort: You can also invite your man to your place if you can't afford transport fare. Oh sorry... I actually forgot a broke person still can't afford a personal apartment.
Care to know why we ladies don't invite men to our places? It is because they are of no value to us. So it's needless inviting them.
Men NEED women while women only WANT men. Know this and know peace.
And concerning having apartment, FYI, over 70% of families in Nigeria today, the wives are the one paying the rents...
haybee2018: lazy a33 b**tches!....they're EVERYWHERE....they see everything as man's responsibility. Guess heaven will fall if u transport yourself down to his place bah? . Entitlement mentality nor go kill una....na my fellow guys i blame sha as konji na bastard @times...even if the guy in question won't demand for sex at your arrival, what's the BIG DEAL in spending your own money? na una type go eventually enta man house dey wait for husband to arrive from work before una go fit buy ORDINARY matches. Mtcheeewww!
Transport myself to his place and still get raped? Hmmm! Oga you try. DON'T ORDER FOR SOMETHING IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO BUY. THAT'S THE SIMPLE MESSAGE I AM TRYING TO PASS
In a recent statement that has ignited a wave of controversy, Pastor Mrs. Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo, the esteemed wife of Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo, founder and lead pastor of David Christian Centre (DCC) in Lagos State, has urged men to refrain from sending transportation money to women when inviting them for visits. Her bold assertion has stirred debates on social media and within the religious community.
During a sermon at the DCC church premises last Sunday, Pastor Mrs. Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo expressed her concerns over the practice of men offering transportation funds to women to come visit them, terming any woman who requests such financial assistance as “useless.” She further emphasized the need for both men and women to uphold their dignity and self-respect.
The statement has generated mixed reactions from different quarters. While some individuals laud the pastor’s stance, believing it promotes self-reliance and discourages exploitative behavior, others criticize it as being judgmental and failing to consider individual circumstances.
Supporters of Pastor Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo argue that her message aligns with the principles of personal responsibility and independence, promoting equal footing in relationships. They contend that both men and women should be capable of taking care of their own transportation needs without relying on the opposite gender.
However, opponents of the pastor’s advice express concerns about its potential to perpetuate gender stereotypes and overlook financial disparities that may exist between men and women. They argue that not all women who seek transportation assistance are “useless,” but may face genuine challenges that make self-transportation difficult.
The pastor’s call has also opened discussions on societal norms and expectations regarding gender roles and responsibilities in relationships. Many netizens have taken to social media platforms to voice their opinions, with hashtags like #TransportFareDebate and #EqualResponsibilities trending on Twitter.
As the discussions continue to gain momentum, some experts suggest that fostering open communication and understanding between genders is crucial to promote healthy relationships based on mutual respect and support. They emphasize that discussions surrounding financial matters should be approached with empathy, recognizing the complexities of individual circumstances.
Despite the controversy, Pastor Mrs. Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo remains resolute in her stance, urging her congregation and followers to embrace a mindset of self-sufficiency and mutual respect in relationships.
In conclusion, this contentious statement by the pastor’s wife has sparked a significant debate, highlighting the importance of addressing gender dynamics and financial expectations within modern relationships. As the discussions continue, the call for empathy and open communication is likely to remain at the forefront of the ongoing discourse.
I have this decision bothering me. I know it is a personal problem, but I believe everyone need some guidance at every point in life.
Straight to it, I have been considering Japa for over two years now and I think the opportunity might be here but I am having a cold feet.
I recently started working for a foreign company as a software engineer and the pay is decent when converted to Naira. Enough to live an averagely comfortable life. But my challenge now is that, I have been talking to some friends that are outside the country and they keep telling me how life is not easy there and cost of living is super expensive out there.
I currently earn $3000, which I plan to either save and travel or startup a business here in Nigeria. Please, Nairalanders with experience, is it worth japa to live an almost average life for almost the rest of your life or investing here in Nigeria and growing wealth?
The healthcare and quality education benefit is there as an advantage for japa though.
Thanks in advance for your responses!
Stay here let's build Nigeria together. Not when I stay and build Nigeria you run down to come and enjoy.
Dickcap: Good morning Nairalanders I would like to seek your advice. I'm presently working at a farm company where I hold the post of Assistant Manager. Forget the position I hold oo cause the salary is less than 60k. Due to the harsh economy, we are currently facing, the CEO said he does not have the power to pay our salary again and that we should find a way to generate income to pay our salary. It won't be hard for my team to generate income to pay salary but we would have problems with the CEO cause he's the kind of person that loves taking over any money we make from the farm
