More Ladies Desperate For Husbands, Offer To Bankroll Wedding Expenses
The desperation of Nigerian ladies for husbands has become alarming,P.M.NEWS investigation has revealed. Some are so desperate that they even offer to foot the wedding bill if the men agree to marry them. Ladies like these are in desperate search for husband. But a lot of factors have resulted in the notion that there are fewer men willing to tie the nuptial knot. Investigation reveals that the desperate ladies, who are between 25 and 40 and have not seen any man to call their own are ready to do anything including wooing men and7 going spiritual just to get married.

Some of these ladies register with social internet sites with their photographs and data and detailing the kind of men they would want for a husband.They also take advantage of radio phone-in programmes to give details of their height, weight, genotype, occupation, age and skin colour and the type of men they want to marry. Latching on to this situation, match making agents are daily springing up in several parts of Lagos State.

P.M.NEWS learnt that after successful registration, the women are directed to female seekers who also come to register for wives. It has also been revealed that some of these women, at a stage in the pursuit of a husband, do not care about the wealth of a man as long as the man has a vision or bright prospects.

�It does not matter if the man cannot meet this vision. All that matters is the fact that the man has plans for the future,� Mr. Victor Sunday, a marriage agent and counsellor in Lagos told P.M.NEWS. According to Sunday, more than 40 marriage agents have opened offices in the state between last year and now. He further told P.M.NEWS that it has become necessary for counsellors to help the ladies seeking husbands because most of them would not be bold enough to �toast a man�. �You know society frowns at this. Most times, the impression some men would have of ladies who approach them for marriage is that the ladies are prostitutes. They forget to realise that just as they are human beings with emotions, so are the ladies. �In my five years on this job, I have come to realise that 90 per cent of women admire men at a point in time but not up to five per cent of them can summon the courage to approach the man for fear of the presumed wrong signals they would be sending out,� he added.

He explained that since he began as a marriage agent, he had successfully got husbands for several women both within Lagos and other states. But within the last two years, the demand for husbands by mature women has doubled to the extent that each week, an average of 15 women go to register with him as against the two or three that he got weekly the first two years he went into the business. If I get 20 people in a week, be sure that 15 would be women. Mine is not a religious thing. I am strictly doing it for business, he explained while putting the total cost of registration at N10, 000 for the women, saying that this expires every four months.
The men pay half that amount for the same registration. If you can pay this, be ready to get a man, but the challenge would be whether the man would like you, he added. If the man does not like the woman, she is redirected to somebody else while another lady is sent to the man.

Akpos, a 35-year old female seeker who this reporter met in the office, said he only registered three weeks ago. However, within this period, he has met 12 different ladies. Thinking our reporter was on a similar mission, Akpos opened up by telling him that he is even thinking of not getting serious about marrying yet. Bros, this thing is sweet. Out of the 12 girls that have reached me through the agent, I have slept with five. Two even told me they would not mind even if I want them to get pregnant before we get married, he said gleefully.

Asked how the agents operate, he said after registration, they would take the phone number of the man, which they make available to the women. A journalist (name withheld) who met a woman in such circumstance told P.M.NEWS that the woman, the daughter of a retired Army General, offered him N2 million and promised to foot the wedding bills the first day they met. But I refused because the lady, based in Abuja, is 11 years older than me, the journalist said, adding rather humorously, why should I marry a grandmother who will boss me around at home?

Ikem Bernice, a businessman in Ikotun while confirming that women were desperate for husbands, said it is common in churches. You need to see their reaction when a pastor declares that those seeking husbands would get before the year ends. I was at a vigil in my church when the pastor asked that those who desired husbands should pray for the men to be available. I couldn't bear what I was hearing from a lady beside me. She mentioned a man's name and was praying that he should forget a particular lady and concentrate on her. I had to stop praying and watch the ladies in the church who became uncontrollable in their prayers for husbands to come their way at all costs. It was then I knew that men are scarce.

�Reason for the desperation? An unmarried woman who only gave her name as May, posted on the internet this reason: For us Nigerian women, there is a huge pressure to tie the knot. Post twenty-five annum, an unmarried status often calls for expression of concern from family, friends and sometimes even kind strangers. This concern can be terribly annoying and in the case that one is single and desperately searching for a partner, distressing.

Jerome Codjo-Onipede, who teaches about marriage through various singles programmes, said women could become desperate due to societal values that tend to have more respect for married women than single women, the thought of not being able to have children after a certain age and the need for companion. But she doesn't have an excuse to stay desperate because desperation isn't going to get her a husband, he said.

Advising the ladies to be careful, he said a lot of men are now lazy preferring to search for a lady who is wealthy or can make money. It is not surprising that most ladies, today, are dating guys that are six to 13 years younger than them. It may be ridiculous but not for those who indulge in it. As a personal counsellor, I know the dangers this so-called remedy poses but that is what happens when we try to find solutions to our predicaments without dealing with the original problem from the root, he said.

are you a yoruba man? if you are, then you are disgrace to the yoruba race. Is that the spelling of 'adigun'? At first i thought it was a mistake but when i saw it twice i knew it wasn't -

i've heard and i believe that the days of ladies playing ;hard-to-get' is gone in nigeria - a lot of ladies have lamented about how Nigerian men are unwilling to tie the knot and finding a responsible man is becoming more and more difficult. Recently i read a story about a guy who registered with a dating agency and within a short period, he had been introduced to over 8 ladies. Within weeks, he had slept with five of them. I'm amazed too at the ease at which i make friends and collect numbers of 9ja girls on facebook - it's the ladies who even make the move nowadays. The suitors are not coming and the ladies are becoming increasingly desperate and would do anything to hook a man

so guys, what's the reason for this trend? your thoughts 

the trick to it is this, don't see any negative reaction from her as a snub, you see, when you as a guy see her refusal as a rejection or as a snub, it would reflect in your body language and she would derive some joy and psychological boost from hurting you but take it as though you are trying to buy a product and it's up to the seller to decide whether to sell it to you or not, if she decides not to sell, it does not mean she is snubbing you, it simply means the price you are offering is not up to her offering price, and then you walk away with your dignity intact - most times, the way you approach will depend on whether she snubs you or not just like 2buff puts it - okay take this two scenarios

SCENARIO 1:

boy: baby, you see, i just want to tell you i like you, you see you mean the whole world to me, i cannot live without you, plz don't say no,, pls don't break my heart
girl: gerrout! i have no time for your type

SCENARIO 2:
boy: Baby, i just want to tell you you look pretty, i'll like to know you better, my name is James, what's yours?, let me have your digits, i'll like to hear your lovely voice later on
girl: My name is janet. Sorry i don't give me number to guys

now, the second guy got a better response because of his confidence, the way and manner of his approach -

When you have the right approach, only a foolish girl will treat you like trash, but even if she's so foolish to do so, leave with your head held high and don't give her the satisfaction she craves. 2buff's analysis is also very cool  

Musician - Lemar Obika dies following Jet-Ski crash in Turks and Caicos Islands
    THIS STORY IS STILL DEVELOPING,

Musician Lemar Obika died while on a personal vacation in Turks and Caicos early this morning from injuries sustained in a Jet-Ski accident - February 18, 2012



Preliminary reports from Turks and Caicos Police officials indicate that the musician struck a concrete boat slip in a marina on Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Lemar Obika was the only passenger on the personal watercraft at the time of the incident. Specific details are not yet available.

The accident occurred at approximately 8:45 a.m. (UTC/GMT -4 hours).

Additional details and information will be forthcoming.

The Turks and Caicos Islands, in recent years have grown in popularity as a quiet getaway destination for celebrities. The Turks and Caicos Islands consist of 40 islands and cays, eight of which are inhabited. The islands are located 550 miles southeast of Miami, Florida, just below the Bahamas chain and just to the east of Cuba and the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti.) Technically, the Turks and Caicos are located in the Atlantic Ocean, not the Caribbea

This is a revelation (Lati ori ite mimo) Cd John was a great comedian. But he lost it when he began to twist Godly gospel songs, using the church as an object of mockery through his comedy. This deadly virus was bound to spread through the comedy industry in no time, if it hadn't been checked. God got angry with him for mocking the church so God took him away. The moral of the story is: do not take the name of the Lord in vain

Poor Yomi Bankole!
…Son of late table tennis star, Lekan Bankole, cries out for help to bury his father

How could someone describe the end of the table tennis legend, Oluwayomi Bankole, who suddenly passed on to the great beyond unsung and also in penury.

Of a truth, one of the stars that helped to popularise the game of table tennis in Nigeria is not resting in peace because his remains are still lying in the cold room waiting for burial.
Few days after his demise, his first son, Lekan Bankole, has yet to raise money to bury his late father who struggled throughout his life time in his rented apartment in Agege, after representing Nigeria in many international engagements.

Speaking to Daily Sunsports yesterday on his predicament, the embattled Lekan said that his greatest challenge was to see how his late father would be accorded a befitting burial. According to him, he has been running around to raise fund for his father's burial.
The 26-year-old school certificate holder, said his father died after a brief illness.

The late Bankole was in Rivers State coaching before he was rushed to Lagos for treatment. His son said that he complained about stomach pains all the time as he could not go to toilet, adding that he always vomited whatever he ate food. As a result of that, his stomach was swelling up before he was operated upon.
The late ping-pong star survived the surgical exercise and lived for some days before his final departure to the great beyond.

“My father really suffered in his last days on earth. It was from one case to another. The little savings he had were spent on treatment and he couldn't live to recover from the pains,” Lekan said.
“After the operation, we thought that everything would be okay, but he still died.

“As you can see, I don't have a job. I'm still planning to further my education. We’re only two in the family. My immediate sister, who has since married and I. My mother died 13 years ago, so now, we’re orphans.”
The former national table tennis player, Bankole, died at the age of 52 last Sunday in Lagos, and his corpse had since been deposited at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in Ikeja, Lagos State.

Bankole came into national reckoning in the 1980s and was an arch-rival of another Nigerian ace tennis player, Atanda Musa. At a point, Musa was Africa's number one, while Bankole was in the number two position. Their rivalry came to a head at the finals in the 1984 edition of the Asoju Oba Table Tennis Championship, where Musa beat Bankole to win a Peugeot 504 Saloon car.

Before his death, he was regarded as the oldest table tennis player in Nigeria. Bankole was an icon and a role model to younger players during his life time. He would be remembered as a player who was passionate about tennis and vowed to play the game for the rest of his life.
