you may say she's too cheap to fall 4 mere words but thats
how women were meant to be. they like soft words 4rm their spouse.

Stops saying this is how women were meant to be or this is how women were wired... It makes them fantasize what is not, makes them wanna follow some sort of scripts and claim it is the way things should be.

Meanwhile who instituted these set of rules/scripts?

How then should men be treated or how were they wired?
Romance / Re: Annoying Traits Peculiar To Naija Girls - concerned Nairalander by tmanuelle(m): 8:03pm On Dec 12, 2014
1 & 2 are so on point. In fact, I point it out immediately and right there, so they don't try it with me.

rigarmortis:
1. The real man pill
Some naija girls try to market and sell the “real man” to some poor unsuspecting dude, any dude that swallows this pill will immediately start acting like some robot, the “real man” is not supposed to do this and that, as prescribed by the particular naija girl you are dating.
Swallow this pill and you are doomed for life, suckered into the myth that all men are supposed to behave in some way, which is infact a bid to control you, you should be pitied more than juddas Iscariot.
The irony is that most of this girls have dated wimps in the past, broke up with them because he behaves like a puppet, meet you, fvkcs you to spite him and then tries AGAIN to turn you into the former BF by selling the pill to you.
Poor souls.
RED FLAG.....watch out for words like.....”your mates out there”....”real men are......” or trying to make you watch some romance movie or telemundo, then she ill hold up the characteristics of the main guy who is soooooo gentle, but beats his wife in real life and has had 40 divorces....watch at your own peril, if premership season is off, watch NBA, if its off season, plug your playstation, if none is available, give her the remote and take a nap.

2. The “need to be taken care of” mentality
You would usually hear a naija girl say stuff like...i need a guy who can take care of me....well, nothing is wrong with that, but they mean it in a lazy way, like they are some dumb invalid, they appear like a wimp doll whenever i hear that shiii and should be surprised when they are treated as such, what happened to striving to get yours, the days of..the wife sits at home is gone, its equal rights now...of cos there wil be occasions now and then when, but don’t act like you have won the lottery, retired, or hit a jackpot as soon as a guy asks for your name.

3. Potential boyfriend profiling
Naija girls profile you and size you up as soon as you say hello, you can see the cat like eyes darting around, all over you, searching for a clue.
Yeah, everybody wants the good life but then what happened to meeting a person first and knowing him then seeing if you like him or not.
When i meet such girls, i can sight them a mile away, but usually when i am drunk enough or just unfortunate to cross their path, immediately the sizing up begins, i feel like just cutting it short and walking away, but i am a gentleman, i just give an excuse about how my phone battery is flat, collect their number on a sheet of paper, then calmly proceed to dispose of the paper in the nearest dustbin, .
4. Some things are not sexually transmitted
Success, wealth, smartness.....what do they have in common.....they are not sexually transmitted, so next time you are in a car and feel like the world is your, when you get kicked out you will end up with nada, so get yours, the fact that you are fvkcing each other doesn’t mean shiiii.

5. The victim mentality
Guy meets girl, they start fxking, guy spends heaven and earth, girl meets sugar daddy, girl leaves guy........guy is hurt bad, everybody tells him he is a man, to move on.
Guy meets girl, guy empties his bank account, girl is happy, guy sees a girl with phatter ar53, guy dumps girl, girl screams blue murder, tries to make guy look bad in the eye of the public, that is so nija girl, its unfair and idiotic, get over it, apply makeup, hook another one, thats the spirit.

6. Extreme neediness
No need to explain, naija girls seem to need one thing or the other, some see it as a way of testing your love.

Quite insane

7. Shallow mind and ignorance.
She knows BB10, iphine, mercy Johnson, kim, k, ,,...thats the end, go deeper and you jam a brick wall, without a helmet you might get migraine for life, some of these girls are dumb as a doornail,, keep it up, keep steve jobs family rich and complain whne you are 50 and single.

Hijacking an aeroplane, forcing the pilot to keep flying at gun point; or even flying a passenger plane by terrorist is not the same as flying a fighter jet, it's a serious airforce personel business. The training is more rigorous with a very higher level of sophistication.

Romance / Re: Seven Reasons Why You Should Never Get Married - For Guys Only by tmanuelle(m): 9:14am On Nov 05, 2014
...just like I was tellinig a female friend yesterday evening, posts like these are not necessarily instructive as to what you should do but to open your eyes to realities unlike what obtains in some books, Telemundo/Nolly/Ghally/Bolly/Hollywood situations.
For example, the post No. 5 is so on point, but that's no justification for me to stay single. As a matter of principle, don't talk to me about marriage when you have got nothing to offer. Go get a job first, I am not your daddy.
You have read, it's your choice to compromise or not...but I will get married when I am convinced that all is set.

Politics / Re: Eulogies As Military Bury Benjamin Adekunle by tmanuelle(m): 5:06pm On Oct 04, 2014
Remarkable:
before you want to talk of Ojukwu fleeing....

talk of Ogundepe fleeing Nigeria....

of Obasanjo fleeing with a bullet in his bum-cheek, causing it to t we rk....

of Ode-kunli fleeing and arriving PH half-naked like a jigalo or should I say mad man with one leg of shoe on.


Don't go there

I am trying as much as possible to be diplomatic here, but I won't let this misplacement of the meaning of "fled" pass.

Brigadier Ogundipe went underground in the event of mutiny (courtesy: Mohammed, Danjuma)...called back to represent the Nigeria in the UK until his death in 1971.

Have you heard of "live to fight another day"? Obasanjo got a bullet wound, but fought till the war ended.

Adekunle fought, then "lived to fight another day"

Losing a battle is not the same as losing the war, they don't mean the same thing. Ojukwu left the country, because he couldn't finish what he started, could not risk being captured neither can he do the needful, like Hitler did, he could only come back after the state pardon...He lost the war.

waternogetenemy:


I did not see Federal presence from the Nigerian side. I did not see Gowon. I did not see OBJ. I did not see IBB. I did not see Danjuma. I did not see the Nigeria he was important or a hero for as u put it.

But who was IBB in this picture? Well may be a battalion officer when Adekunle was a Divisional Head...They were never contemporaries and ofcourse, no correlation.

Gowon feared the Black Scorpion so much that they were only waiting for the best time to push him out of the Military...Always use the library.

You don't know that OBJ was never an ally of the Black Scorpion? Obasanjo envied & hated him so much in the military, it all started when Adekunle though OBJ's course mate proceeded to Sandhurst when OBJ only get to Mons...Now you know

Danjuma didn't fight on the 3MCO front. Though on the same side, but can you ascertain their ideologies? Danjuma was instrumental to Ironsi's and Fajuyi's death in the events that preceded to the war, while Gowon (the then Chief of Staff, Army HQ) denied his C-in-C in the event of a coup.

Have you ever thought about possibility/practicability of the Mohammed/Obasanjo/Danjuma's take over from Gowon if people like the Black Scorpion were still in the Military?

The Black Scorpion was only a soldier and a fine one in the line of duty without any political ambition back then and before his death unlike these officers (including Mohammed afterall, they all ruled us at different times) you have mentioned who feared him so much in his days.

How then do you think the late war hero can be in their good books? Leave people coming out to exhibit their hypocrisy out of this. They might not have being invited.

I wasn't surprised when Shuwa, who fought gallantly in the 1st Division during the war was murdered in cold blood by the insurgents and the Nigerian Army didn't bring the Boko Haram insurgency to a halt within three days as a sign of respect to the late Army General...Nigeria the land of 'possibilities'

Adekunle deserves much more then he has got from Nigeria since after the war...You are only important if you are in the political sphere.

He will be a happy general today when he looks back on his final journey to rest to note that only the dignitaries with integrity & pure heart not marred with corruption & politics has bade him farewell.

I am a Yoruba man, and a proud one but I am making my contributions here as a Nigerian

The Black Scorpion remains a hero in the Nigerian front while the Ikemba remains a hero in the Biafran front. No Victor, No Vanquished.

God bless Nigeria.

The Ondo State PDP is heading for a doom because of this singular mistake that had been made in Abuja. The point is Mimiko can always mobilise & form another party if his interest is no longer protected in PDP after he must have taken them back to the days of 'in-fighting' & disarray. He is a player & only the naive ones will be fooled.

On the point No. 10, in as much as I will agree with you that a virgin will be highly respected by her man in marriage, I disagree with your conclusion. Virginity doesn't make a marriage, it's your qualities, your values. That you are a virgin as at the time of wedding does not make you a good wife.

His office is in a completely different building from his house. The office is attached to the Council Chamber. The Council Chamber is where Federal Executive Council, National Council Of State and other such meetings are held. That's also where he addressed the nation from (presidential speeches). That's where he receives visiting heads if state. That building is the symbol of the Aso Rock Villa and that's the picture that I posted on the other thread.


Thanks again.

The Aso Rock Villa, like Dodan Barracks, is not a mansion. It's a complex made up of many houses. The President's office is not the same as his house. They are different buildings. It's not like State House Marina, The White House or Buckingham Palace. However, the building in which most important state functiins take place is the Council Chamber (also known as Aso Chamber). That's the building that's shown on tv. I posted pictures of the exterior of the building on the other thread.

The Aso Rock Villa is not just one house (unlike the White House, etc).

Oh thanks, got it.

Aha! I see why you'll be disappointed. The Aso Rock Villa is not a "Presidential Palace". It's not like the White House or State House Marina. It's more like State House Dodan Barracks. It's a complex.

Yes sir, a complex - comprises of a couple of structures, the VP's wing, and all that. But does the president live in all these structures? He definitely must have a designated wing for himself, his family, his office and his details (that's why I used "Presidential Palace" in my post).

Note: I am not taking this whole thing personally. No problem if I learn from you, that's the essence of a forum. I have asked myself so many times; how does the Aso Rock Villa look like?

chronique: Funny enough,I like the fact that you can't get to see pics of Aso rock online except you visit the place physically. I also like the fact that it's not a place anybody can visit easily. If it was,who knows what kind of embarrassment boko haram would have caused us by attempting to attack this building? Nigerians are so sentimental and majority of us lack proper reasoning and fail to dissect issues properly,before commenting on them. We always want things in Nigeria to be done the way you have them in America and Britain(which is not a bad idea),but do not live like them/have the same patriotism like them. They have a united front and will do anything to support each government that comes to power;they are not divided along religious/ethnic/tribal lines. But in Nigeria,every government that comes into power and is headed by a man from a certain part of the country,automatically becomes an enemy of another part of the country. I believe Aso rock was built with all that secrecy,to prevent the govt of the day from being toppled via a coup d'etat;not necessarily to prevent a foreign invasion. When the military built this,I'm not sure they were envisaging a civilian president without military background,coming to live in it. Today,it's been a sort of blessing to the current president,and would still be to subsequent civilian presidents. With all that has happened in Nigeria these past few years,I doubt if attempts wouldn't have been made to either topple the govt,or assassinate the president.

The plain truth is that,the political situation in Nigeria as at today,is still very volatile and as such,cannot allow for "unnecessary" tourism into Aso rock villa(irrespective of the fact that it was built with our money and the govt was elected into office by us). Violence and political killings has to be eroded completely from our politics,and Nigerians must start to see and support whoever is in power,without looking at where He/She comes from,before asking for Aso villa to be open to its citizens. Until that is done,I say: close Aso villa and make it as discreet and secretive as it can be.

Bros you are mixing up many things. The bone of contention here as most people will agree with me is that we want to have an idea of what the Presidential Palace looks like, not about tourism or visit as I totally support the heavy security to control access to the facility because of the nature of things around here.

There should at least be a published picture, same way we have those of the NASS Complex and the Supreme Court.
Having access to the picture is not the same as having the coordinates of the location of the president's chamber in the villa, it's not the same as knowing the geometry of the bunkers we have there in, it's not the same as knowing which wall is concrete/armoured/electrified or which is ordinary bricks, its not the same as knowing where we have armoured or ordinary doors installed...

That's too much of secrecy sir.

Check the previous page to see pictures of State House The Aso Rock Villa

What's important right now is that a lot of us want to see a typical picture of the Aso Rock Villa (the Presidential Palace), not some hill, not some interior pix, not some walkway, not some president's 'oval' office, not some banquet hall pix, not some FEC meeting hall. We see some of these things on NTA news every other day.

We want to see a true representation of where our president lives. I have never being to London neither have I seen Washington DC in my sleep, but I do recognise the Buckingham Palace and the White House and some other "Power Houses" in the world whenever I see them in pictures, even without a label.

Can anyone lay hands on this picture(s) without being arrested and charged for national security threat/terrorism?

That's the essence of the thread boss.
