Even if Tinubu gives your entire family juicy employment and contracts from now till 2031, you'll still have cause to hate him. Road that your governors could not repair for over 50yrs, he has helped you to do so under 1 year of office and yet you're still not satisfied.

Your response is not senseless. But it is totally useless as a reaction to my comment because I never said anything to warrant you directing your writeup to me. You should have simply dropped your comment without quoting me. I simply pointed out that people often leave their amdirers and try to force themselves on who don't admire them. The man is forcing himself on her while the men she admires probably do not admire her. No part of your comment counters this assertion. So, why did you quote me?
Again, people are free to choose whatever they want and go for what they want. If you don’t like it, hit your head on the wall and leave planet earth.

You read everything she wrote and all you could come up with is that she should accept a man she has no feelings for? Do you know what danger looks like in human form?

Let me tell you. danger is trying to force yourself on a woman that does not want you. One thing is certain if she succumbs to your pressure, you will regret it.

Many men are raising children that are not theirs and one of the reasons is because they force a lady to date and marry them.

It is easy for you type but did you care about what makes her happy?

Never ever tell someone to accept who they don’t want cos it never ends well.

You saw where she stated that she is not attracted to the dude, hence the reason why I explained that part using myself as an example but I get it, you felt uncomfortable.


You are free to date and marry a woman that does not want you, 25 years later you would have raised children who are not yours like many men found out much too late.

Life is somehow.

You reject who wants you and go for who chooses other people over you.
Throw away emotions and look at things logically. Attraction is very important in a relationship. Can you date or marry someone that looks like a monkey? be sincere and answer that question.

IF your answer is NO, it is not because you hate the person it is just that you don't find them attractive.

Also, attraction is relative and it can be that the man here does not have a good fashion sense which makes him look unattractive to women. I used to be in this category, not that I am ugly or have unattractive features, I had those features (height, broad shoulders, nice hairline, well-shaped red lips, but I didn't give it much attention.

I paid dearly for that error for years. It was rejection upon rejection to the point that I thought less of myself when it came to women because it affected my self-esteem.

I was more interested in making money so much that I didn't give much thought to how I presented myself to the opposite gender. And like this OP here, I would give money to girls that I am trying to woo... BROTHER, IT NEVER WORKED and you can see the OP is already saying that despite the man giving her money, she didn't find him attractive. MONEY CAN NOT BUY A WOMAN.

Though, I wasn't giving money cos I wanted to use it to buy love (though the ladies back then thought I was doing it cos I wanted to buy them). It is just who I am cos I love to give. I had to stop doing it (giving money) to ladies I am interested in when I sensed how they perceived the gesture.

I will tell you what worked for me as you read along.

If you are struggling with ladies or constantly being rejected, you should read this to the end.

Then my cousin came from Benin and stayed with me for one year. He gave me a complete 360 orientation that changed EVERYTHING.

Before he came, I used to expend so much energy trying to win a lady, I talked too much, explained too much, and professed emotions that were counterproductive.

There was even a Nairaland lady too that I tried to woo then but it didn't pan out well, na fight end the matter sha. I am just stating this so that you know it is not some made-up shit.

Whenever I talk about my experience with Nigerian ladies, you will hardly hear anything good. It was that bad. lol.

Now, to change this, most of what people share here is secondary... First, get your attraction game UP and the rest will come.

Anyway, my cousin didn't share any of those red pills stuff. He just told me to upgrade my physical look and watch. His method was more effective than anything I have ever read and he also demonstrated it for me to see.

I rarely went out and he forced me to change that...Not going out more often is why I even used to focus on just one lady for months while repeatedly getting rejected like a plague. grin grin grin.

When my cousin forced me to go out more, he forced me to go to church more (Lukily, we have the biggest church in my local government close to my house), and one thing that did to me was seeing that there are unlimited supply of pretty ladies, more gorgeous than what you could be chasing previously.

If you find yourself spending months on one lady, or a year trying to win and still get rejected, my brother, it is because you narrowed your vision. Change that and attend any big church or even be at a busy place like Shoprite mall, events, weddings. I give you just 5 minutes and the number of pretty women you will see or meet will rewire your brain so much that you will curse yourself for spending unproductive time on just one when there is an unlimited supply of prettier ladies out there.

The only downside is that if you don't have discipline and control, it could destroy you by making you sleep with numerous women. This is the major reason some men sleep with many women out there. It is like stumbling on so much money and then losing control by spending it recklessly.

To tell you how potent attraction is, by the time my cousin had helped me rebrand and I started uploading my pictures on WhatsApp status,(previously I didn't), one lady who had never seen me more upload my picture more than 4 times in 5 years confessed... she said and I quite "Smartmen, is this you? Is this really you?"

Another lady whom I met on Twitter but that one also reacted to my picture for the FIRST time in about 3 years we have known... and she has been doing that since then till now, even on Sunday here, she reacted to the one I posted.

People tell you that women are moved by what they hear... That is false. WOMEN ARE MOVED BY WHAT THEY SEE. If they don't see it, they don't move.

Now, I have had to start rejecting them back as they lurk around me. Na me dey reject them now... I know one who rarely checked my status previously but now does so everyday, commenting on everything I post.

If you are getting rejected by women or struggling, just UPGRADE: Spend that money on new clothes, buy iPhone and hold... tusssh up your apartment, get a good barber for a nice haircut, take nice pictures, and upload... ATTRACT, don't chase. na you go tire.

You only speak too much English and long paragraphs when you don't know how to attract. I used to write long epistles to some of these girls like one expired substandard Wole Soyinka as if I am writing a novel... They will even subtly tell me I talk too much by saying "wow you can write o" and I will be smiling and raising shoulder like I have made it in life, not knowing I was fooling myself.

Now, I don't even know the last time I wrote a long epistle... even when my current babe did something silly, I fixed her up immediately WITHOUT SAYING A SINGLE word. Unlike before when I would be writing long letter like apostle paul to the church in Damascus.... foolish me.

I Don see shege for this domain business,

I outbound one of my domain priced at 4 figures. One enduser reply with serious laugh and emoji laughing hard.

I just confuse.

Few minutes later, I see SH sales email: the name sold at wholesale price of $15 (I forget say I list the name on SH wholesale market place)

I suspect the buyer to be that same person wey reply my email with laff.

Although the domain get just 3days before expiration, I just submit auth code and domain is off my account.

Now, another enduser agree to buy the name at my initial price. Lo and behold name is no more in my possession.


I just weak.

embarassed

I tried reaching out to the $15buyer e no de respond again.
Sorry about your experience.


That tells you that you are dealing with super smart people. They are not some woods... These guys always search everywhere.

I sold domain names in the past, directing end users to Dan but the domain names were sold via Godaddy. Why? They search for the names elsewhere to see if they can get it cheaper.

Always have this at the back of your mind and make sure that when you are changing prices, follow through to all the venues where that domain name is listed.

What I mean is that if you change the price on Dan, make sure that the Afternic price is the same.

Thunder fire him there
They are using that to reduce pressure. Notice that whenever tension is rising that is when they say they want to protest then they call it off after some days... It is a strategy used by APC. I wonder how long they will continue to use that strategy cos at some point, people will not wait for them before hitting the street.

I can barbecue fish and meat. Is it a useful skill?
Yes it is but please try and learn a much valuable one that can give you good money over there.

We look down on some jobs here in Nigeria but in a place like US, cleaning companies and plumbing companies make so much money. Owners of this kind of skills as service can rake in as much as $100k-200k per year if you are smart and active but it also depend on your body, not all of us have strength for some kind of jobs. Just know where your strength lies
.

You can also learn coding and become a software engineer. It is not going to be easy but it is doable...

Apart from Napoli, Brentford and other clubs supported Nigeria right from the beginning to the end, we appreciate their support.

Nigeria should start preparing for the next AFCON and world cup tournaments, we need new players, local players should be given the chance to showcase their talents.

On a lighter note, Have we created enemies for ourselves in Africa? because I don't understand why Ghanians and south Africans are seriously mocking us online, they've taken the banter to another level.
On emboldened, the rivalry didn't start recently. It has been on for years. You are not just aware of it... For Ghana, it does not go beyond football. For South Africa, it is a combination of many things. South Africa hate other black Africans, not just Nigerians.

Stick to your salary Jobs, you say no
Stick to farming , you say no
Stick to your carpentry and artisanal businesses. , you no gree .

You say you must run the country. Say you dey sophisticated. But you think a country can grow under a socialist system of welfare benefits , and government patronage and control . A palliative economy while free enterprise suffers .

Instead of turning the country into a production. base , na to dey shook eye for other people money. Is that the best you can do ? I dont blame you tho. You cannot give what you don’t have .

Good for the economy.

A government that is bold enough to remove subsidies should not be afraid of any backslash that may arise from any measure to save the naira.

Let all remittances be converted to the naira equivalent so the government can have enough dollars for people doing genuine business in need of dollars.

All domiciliary accounts with idle dollars should be taxed.
You are criminal because you are looking for where to steal from people's sweat. Dom Accounts is not the reason for why exchange rates keep shooting up.

I don't know why a lot of you just speak English and don't understand basic economics...

In all said and done, tell the entire forum one policy that has encouraged the influx of dollars into the Nigeria economy... instead what do we have? businesses are shutting down and exiting Nigeria since 2015 till date, got even worse under Tinubu because he has no international tentacles to execute anything.

But dunces pick up their phones and type English without substance.

As long as there is no consistent inflow of dollars into the Nigerian economy whereby supply is more than demand of the dollar, you ALL are wasting your time... if you like freeze domiciliary accounts, tax domiciliary accounts... NOTHING WILL IMPROVE.

Traditional Wedding or Marriage is the real thing. Before the White man came with his religion to Africa, were your ancestors not getting married? You go school, open books and read history.

What you regard as white wedding is the traditional marriage of the WHITE man. So how can you be doing two Traditional Marriage for one purpose? CHOOSE ONE.

But for the sake of economic reality, you can do BOTH on the same day to save money because I know a lot of you suffer from inferiority complex and if you don't do that white wedding, your body no go rest...
