You are right. The bad girl didn't win because she was bad. She won because she was in the market,learned the rules,made mistakes early,knew what she wanted by the time it mattered
The good girl lost because she,sat out the game,assumed her goodness was currency,had no filtering skills,woke up at 32 with prayer and regret
As a lady be good,but don't be naive.The market doesn't care about your reputation. It cares about your ability to navigate it

He knows he can't legally claim the Moon. But that's not the point.He's talking to two audiences. The world to show US supremacy in the space race.His base to reinforce the "America First" narrative

Minjim:
The goal post remains where it is. Oshimen isn't going anywhere. Common sense should have told Asernal that Gala doesn't want to sell their best player that's why they placed such a high value on him. If and when Oshimen wants to leave Turkey , he will leave. Its not every great football legend that played in EPL. Maradona and Pele never played in Spain nor England. And both are considered the greatest. Oshimen can achieve his fit with the national team like Pele and Maradona.
For Oshimen is enjoying his career in Turkey

You just compared Osimhen to Pele and Maradona.Pele won 3 World Cups, Maradona won 1 World Cup and carried Argentina on his back. Osimhen hasn't even won AFCON,hasn't reached a World Cup semifinal.Hasn't done anything at the international level yet.He can achieve with the national team possible,but not guaranteed.Nigeria isn't Brazil or Argentina.
Gala did not want to sell and that's exactly my point. They priced him out. That's their right. But let's not pretend it's because he's generational,it's because they're protecting their asset.Osimhen is enjoying Turkey but Pele and Maradona didn't play in Turkey.They played at the highest level and won everything.
Stop the comparison. It's embarrassing

ExudeLoveToAll:
Leave that yeye lady, that one no dey think well oo

Kobojunkie:
1. She was interested in money. You knew this, yet still had to consult your friend? And you don't see how that is immediately a weakness? 😒😒

2. Not according to you! You had to consult your friend, and you want us to believe that is some sort of strength on your part. 😒

3. The skill issue here is your confessed inability to confirm warning signs without needing your friend's say! 😒😒

You're really stretching to make this a 'weakness.'
1. Consulting a friend isn't weakness,it's wisdom. Even generals have advisors. Only fools rush in alone

2. I already knew the answer. I just confirmed it. That's called due diligence not insecurity

3. You're mocking me for seeking counsel, but if I had ignored my friend and got used, you'd be mocking me for that too.

SeeWahala:
I am happy she's a moderator too. She is very okay for the position 😊

Exactly

Kobojunkie:
. My mistake! So, you knew she wasn't interested in you but in the money, but still had to consult your friend to know whether or not to avoid her? 😒😒

2. No deflection at all! A woman is not to blame when a man refuses to heed the warning signs before his eyes in a relationship. She asks you for money immediately, letting you know she is not interested in you but in the money. And that is not enough evidence that she is not for you? That becomes a skill issue on your part -- not that woman's fault. 😒😒

3. The same way men expect women to know to bail if a man demands sex right after(or even before) a first date is the same way a man needs to know a woman is not interested in him if she asks for money right after(or before) a first date. Suggesting women should be at fault for your lack of social intelligence is ludicrous! 😒😒

You're arguing against a point I never made
1. I didn't say she wasn't interested at all.I said she was interested in the money FIRST. That's the problem. I consulted my friend to confirm what I already suspected.That's not weakness that's verification.

2. "A woman is not to blame when a man refuses to heed warning signs" And I DID heed them. I walked. That's literally what happened. So what exactly are you blaming me for?

3. And as for the "Skill issue" The skill is walking away early. Which I did. So where's the issue?

Kobojunkie:
1. Read your own narrative for clues. 😒😒

2. WOW... Nigerian boys remain gullible still! The first thing a woman did was ask you for money... You say no... and then walked off, taking her blowing up your phone afterwards to mean she was interested in you all along. OMGosh! 🙄🙄🙄

3. You all deserve the kind of treatment you keep getting from those women. Make I no interrupt, abeg! 😒😒

You're twisting it to fit your narrative.
I didn't say her blowing up my phone meant she was interested in ME,I said it meant she was interested in the MONEY. Big difference. Read carefully.
Saying"You all deserve the treatment" is a classic deflection and It's not new to me.You women blame men for being used instead of blaming the women using them and lastly,If asking for 40k before a first date is normal to you, then we have nothing to discuss

Mariangeles:
You shouldn't have gone in the first place, going by your words.

You went back on your word. And will still go back.

You're trying to catch me in a contradiction , but there's none. I didn't break my rule I applied it. Peace first, always


I like the way you are moderating this romance section too
You are doing a great job 👍

Olayinka8793:
Truly you dodged a bullet, and also you are so ignorant and simpish, otherwise why will you tell her to come over physically before you could give her the 40k? Meaning you already had it in mind to give her the 40k if she had come over. Nonsense

I deliberately told her to come over.Not to give her the 40k but to give her the lesson of her life

Kobojunkie:
What bullet? She merely let you know from the get-go that you were not her type or league! That you had to contact your friend to decide whether to abort the mission speaks volumes about your intelligence!😒😒

When you go around looking for bullets to dodge, you only insult yourself! Show yourself the respect you think you deserve first; then you wouldn't have to keep running into women sending this disrespect your way from the get-go. 😒😒

So asking for 40k before a first date is now 'letting me know I'm not her type'?
If I wasn't her type, she wouldn't have been blowing up my phone after I said no.
· She was interested just not in me. In my money
Contacting my friend about it doesn't mean I haven't made a personal decision

Mariangeles:
"Did I dodge a bullet?"

Did you not say that men were walking away from women to "peace of mind" recently?

So, what is this?

I dodged. I walked. I kept my peace. That's the whole point of the thread

RealityKings1:
Why didn't you ask if you can be paying her installmentally. That way, she will wait longer

You want me to pay installmentally for a woman I haven't even met?

Minjim:
How does even playing in the EPL make finanacial sense to a player?
There is a reason Rafeal Lao prefer Gala to Villa.
So a player should leave a higher paying league with less stress and go to England where he will be taxed to his bone and also struggle to make the team. Oshimen had paid his dues in the French and Italian leagues. While at Lille he scored 18 in 27 appearances in the one season. In Italy he did 4 seasons and did 76 goals in 133.

He is all about the money now. I won't go to any league to proof anything myself.

You keep moving the goalposts. Let me pin you down
It's not about financial sense for Osimhen. It's about financial sense for the buying club. EPL clubs have more money, but they also have stricter financial rules. Dropping €150M on a 27-year-old with AFCON commitments is bad business
Leao is 27, same age as Osimhen. He chose less stress and more money. That's his choice. But that also means he's not competing at the highest level. If Osimhen wants to be seen as elite then he needs to perform where it matters most.Champions League, EPL, La Liga.He paid his dues in France and Italy Cool but the question is,what has he done lately? His numbers at Lille and Napoli were good. But since then,Injuries, inconsistency, and a move to Turkey. That's not a €150M resume.
He's all about the money now and that's fine. But if he's chasing the bag over legacy, then he shouldn't cry when top clubs don't come knocking

Minjim:
If Liverpool can pay £125 for Isak who will also be 27 this month. I think Gala is right to value Osinmeh at 150.
Osimhen has proven himself better than Isak. Its not even about the value a club place its about the value the player is bringing to the club willing to buy.
Gala is looking at the value you want to take away from them. Osimhen is Gala player and to them he is worth £150. So if you wanna to pry him away from them you pay or gtfo

You just made my point for me.
Isak to Liverpool for £125m is a rumour and even if it's a true,isak is 26 and has been playing in the premier League and not involved at afcon.Gala can value whatever they want on osimhen.it is not what they can slap on a price tag.
And if you think Osimhen is better Isak because of one series A season,Isak has been doing it in the premier League for years

Good afternoon everyone.

A friend introduced me to a lady. We chatted, vibed well, and agreed to meet on Sunday.
Then out of nowhere, she sent a voice note saying she was planning to buy a new phone, had 150k already, and would be 'happy' if I could assist with 40k.
I told her no problem, but she'd have to come to my place to collect it.
She refused. Said she wants to 'study me first' before anything physical.
I reached out to my friend who connected us he told me to abort mission. That the lady isn't serious, just after money.
Now she's been bombarding me with calls and messages since yesterday.

Did I do wrong by inviting her over? Or did I dodge a bullet?

Minjim:
I am talking about his sign on fee. I referring to his wages. He shouldn't settle for less. Harry Kane is 33 yrs. If he were to be sold to Asernal. How much do you think Bayern will sell him?

Osimhen can demand whatever wages he wants. But if no one pays the transfer fee, he stays in Turkey. That's the market. Value isn't what you think you're worth.It's what someone is willing to pay
And as for Kane Bayern would still ask for €50-70M because he's a proven Premier League legend with global brand value

Stephen0mozzy:
How am i wrong?
1. Portable has a signature of making a video every Eken market day reacting to matters that are not directly addressed to him. Portable doesn't know when to ignore people who have myopic reasoning. Davido has just done the same.

2. Portable will make videos. Davido will tweet it.

Maturity is knowing when to ignore matters that don't deserve a response, because they're too shallow.

Mind you, I don't even listen to Erigga's songs. It's beneath me 😂. But I love Davido's songs. So yes, I hold my heroes to a high standards.

So you're a fan, but you're mad he didn't meet YOUR standards? That's entitlement.
You're not mad at Davido. You're mad that your idealized version of him doesn't exist. That's a YOU problem. He's human. He claps back. Deal with it or mute him

Egoat:
You can't reply me without using AI?

AI? Bro, that's just called having a functioning brain and basic logic

Stephen0mozzy:
Uncouth, uncultured.
Just a wealthy version of Portable.

You can fight a person's ideas and philosophy. But never, never go so low to throw jabs at their parents, wife or children.

You just called him a wealthy Portable then preached about not throwing jabs at family.
You don't have to like his style. But comparing him to Portable is emotional. Not factual. If you're going to criticize, at least be accurate

Egoat:
Never been a fan of this talentless boy.
Very loud and rude.

If he was talentless, he wouldn't still be here 10+ years later while your favorite 'underrated' artist is selling 500 copies. Numbers don't lie—your feelings do

Davido didn't choose his father. But he chose to hustle and win anyway. That's more than most people can say. If his success triggers you, that's a YOU problem, not a HIM problem.

Go ask your papa why he wasn't hustling when Davido's father was.

Minjim:
OK. What values are those top clubs strikers bring?
Asides Haarland ,Cane , Raphinha , of lately and Mbappe. I don't see any striker in Europe that has out performed or can him this season.

Let them come to Turkey too and lets see how theyll fare. Oshimen won the Italian league with Napoli. Is the Italian league not a top league?
We seen Sallah in Turkey , how many goals has he scored so far?
And the Alvarez Asernal is dying over ,when was the last the he scored for ATM?
Since Lookman got to ATM , Lookman has scored more goals than Alvarez.
Oshimen should accept anything less than his worth because he wants to play in any top league. If they want him they should be able to afford him.

Osimhen is a very good striker. But top clubs don't pay €150 million for "very good" at 27 with injury history and AFCON commitments. They pay that for generational talent with resale value. Osimhen is neither. That's not disrespect—that's the market.

Samantha125:
So let me get this straight, men hate it when we talk back, challenge them, and would do anything for their peace of mind, yet a silence of a woman naturally scares them to an extent that they can do anything to find out what went wrong after expecting us to stay silent and not challenge them? Make that make sense to me.

Yet we're considered as the the confused gender...🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Women aren't confused. You just don't want to admit you understand exactly what we mean. You'd rather play dumb than take accountability

Everything on this list is accurate. But women will read it, nod, and still test these boundaries. That's why men are walking away. Not because they don't love—but because they finally love themselves more.

Osimhen isn't at a top club because the cost doesn't match the value for those clubs.

When dating apps like chatta , telegram, etc. yapa who get time to waste time?

You just proved my point

Merry100:
How I wish Nigeria was convenient to an extent like the USA, UK, Netherlands, Ireland and many other developed countries. Then you guys would have to confront your flaws instead of pushing the blame. While Nigerians are yelling, "No more love," many countries are still enjoying love. Women can experience attraction first before even knowing who he is or what he is worth because survival is not the biggest issue in their country. The economy situation of the country is simply what is enabling you guys to have excuses.

You guys would be shouting, "She played me. She used me. Look at how much I spent on her." How much have you actually spent on a lady? How many of you have used your money to actually turn a lady's life around? Or did you pick the lady from the zoo, forest or desert? 😂🤣 "I housed her. I fed her. I bought her cream." Useless things that people do even for strangers on the street.

If it is transactional love you want, why not just make your terms clear? There is no offence in it. People are doing it, and it is working even better than many normal marriages. All it needs is real money. There are many contract marriages or marriages of convenience out there, and they are working pretty well because the terms are clearly understood and each party plays their own part of the deal well.

The average Nigerian man's mentality is simply that money should create love for him, so he does the bare minimum when it comes to building a strong relationship.

If money is no longer the issue and the majority of people, both male and female, are living comfortably, what would you blame? Would you still stand a chance, or what would you be complaining about? Money is always your excuse for not finding love. Can you really stand among the many other guys and actually be loved if money is not even an issue? First, check yourself before you throw claims around. Do you deserve to be loved? Would you love yourself if you were the woman?

Money is one of the most inexpensive things. All some women ever want is safety and trust.

Love is easier to navigate in many developed countries because living is more comfortable in those countries, their men don't make excuses, they act. Nigerian men want to force "I am giving you some money, so you must love me," but things don't work that way.

Both men and women are conscious of being played. Just as your brain is telling you, "Is all she wants my money?" the woman is also asking herself, "Where do I stand with him? Does he see me as a commodity? Am I special to him, or am I just any girl he can purchase?"

You wrote all that to avoid one simple truth: women in developed countries still chase money—they just hide it better.

This case reminds me of the movie, brown sugar

Yes—but only if you're ready to destroy your marriage.
