SirJeffry:
Once you pay a brideprice, wife na your own. Go and enjoy your wife, fucck pastors

Traditionally its after a bride price is paid

Religiously it is when a pastor or imam pronounces the couple married

Legally it is when you sign the papers in the registry

From the Biblical angle. there is no laid down procedure.

As long as you do all or one of the first 3,you are married before GOD and man..shikena

It has nothing to do with money? It has a lot to do with money(talking about prostitutes) and a tiny,little bit of pride.
Watching another woman take ur place, making u feel like u didn't do somthn right, that's an emotion every woman and man is familiar with.

If u attach so much emotion to sex, good for u, not everyone does or cares to.

The embolden is part of the emotions we are talking about...but no qualms,issorite.

WOW! This is a new one..

Even as a guy i attach emotions to sex and thats why i will never touch a lady i can't marry but reading this from a lady baffles me.

Strangely enough,whores as im made to believe try to detach emotions from sex but stories have proved over and over again that emotions usually sets in and thats why you see whores fighting over customers and even fighting each other over customer snatching and trust me, this has nothing to do with the money but emotional attachment.

Toks2008 should officially be crowned the "Love, Sex, Relationship and Marriage Consultant on Nairaland". His threads are always mature, insightful and practical if one cares to apply it. Though I feel many "Feminists" will come on this thread to dispute some of the points he made above especially the one on "Cheating". One is already doing that.

LOL! my brother how i for do?

Writing is one crazy passion i have and since i do my business majorly online,it gives me ample opportunity at my free time to share some hard facts with nairalanders.

Yes i do not expect a standing ovation for what i write here and some may see it as outright boring and annoying but thank GOD for freedom of expression and as human i am obliged to do what i love doing without fear of reproach especially when it does not directly attack or bring down anyone. I am writing this to clear the air and let those who just find fault and generate undue anger and bitterness towards what another peson do innocently to make him or herself happy to take a chill pill.

Now concerning the issue of my no holds bar write-ups regarding relationships,i believe those who are of matured age and the married will understand better and the young ladies especially those who still have their adrenaline running wild might just relate to these write ups if they ever come face to face with the hard reality as regards what i write.

Not all men cheat and it will take a man with great discipline,the holy spirit and fear as well as love for GOD not to cheat on her girlfriend or wife but does this change the fact that most men cheat?

So my philosophy of life is to be pragmatic in an objective manner and i would rather prefer to tell you the truth and make you cry rather than lie to you and see you wear a foolish smile.

Romance › Re: "Husband Scarcity'' by Toks2008(m): 9:59am On Oct 28, 2015

Dotez:
"""Husband scarcity'''''

Hi dude i would like you to make your write up more presentable by putting spaces. Something like this,.,

"""Husband scarcity'''''has become one of the challenges faced by many women today,if you go to prayer houses,majority of the intentions are prayer for life partner. And this calls for concern.

Casting our minds back to the time of our mothers and grandmothers,was there really much of a "husband scarcity'' problem?,or maybe there were more men than women then,or there was an adequate corresponding numbers of both genders.I don't think so.maybe then,the women had values&were prepared to build a home&not pack into already built home.Then once a young man comes of age&can at least feed himself & his wife,he goes out in search of a wife&the woman really appreciate him and helps him to build a future.

What am i really trying to insinuate? we created what we now see as "husband scarcity''for ourselves. Today,the reverse is the case.Ask an average girl to define her dream husband;you get things like"he has to be tall handsome,dark & rich,own a house at least & be presentable''and then she adds "God fearing''in order not to sound so worldly.What a wonderful dream!.Then check the number of women around you & the number of men That can meet standard, & you will see the problem.

You would b hearing ladies say"I cannot suffer in my father's house & then go and start another round of suffering with a man''.What if from the beginning,you have everything you want & there is no suffering & later in the marriage the table turns around,then comes suffering? will you run away?Nobody prays for suffering, but it is good to start small & end big,than to start big and end small.

The problem is that the description majority of ladies give of their ideal man is virtually thesame.when 50 ladies want thesame kind of man & the man that fits what they want is just 1 man& the decided to pick one,then what becomes of 49 others?they start lamenting of "husband scarcity''.

Another irony of our time is that is that,it is hard,due to the face of our economy to find a man who is of marriage age who possesses all this things these ladies want,legally(except those involved in illicit way of getting money)& even the numbers of of these men involved in this illegal act is not enough to match all those searching for already made husband & besides most of them are not husband materials.If you look around,majority of the ladies of substance, of good value & virtue,who are ready to build a home with a man who has prospects,are married & not complaining of "husband scarcity''.

Now,what is the solution to "husband scarcity''?;The easiest way to find a husband now,is to change your view of who a husband is.

A husband is that man God created then saw that it may be hard for him to really actualize his purpose for creating him,without a help mate & then made the woman & gave to him & he felt complete & fulfilled.

MARRIAGE IS NOT A POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAM. It is a mission of building the family that will serve God here on earth & be a benefit to man kind.for those who see marriage as a way out of poverty, it is a way into bondage.women are HOME BUILDERS,not HOME WARMERS,DON'T CONFUSE A MAN'S PATH WITH HIS DESTINY.Where he is today may only be a route to where God has destined him to b tomorrow.

Another truth is that;YOU(woman)MAY BE THE ONLY FAST MEANS TO THAT HIS(man)DESTINATION. Join in alleviating "Husband scarcity'' PICK UP THE RIGHT VALUES.I am not saying that you should pick anyone that comes your way & start talking about marriage. REMEMBER;NOT ALL MEN ARE HUSBAND MATERIALS.

What am insinuating is that you should stop setting your standard on material acquisitions of physical appearances.look beyond the physical. WHAT MAKES A MAN WHO HE IS,IS NOT WHAT HE OWNS OR HOW HE LOOKS.IT IS WHAT HE IS MADE UP OF.And that which he is made up of is most times not seen with the physical ey,only it effects can be seen.Marriage is a permanent thing,what is seen is temporal & that which is not seen is permanent.

Relax and go to God in prayer,God did not just created EVE for creating sake;he created her for ADAM'S need to be met.Likewise you (all ladies)you were not created for creating sake(unless God has a special calling on you)you were all created to meet a particular man's need.And THAT MAN MAY BE THAT ONE THAT DOESN'T FIT INTO YOUR "EXORBITANT STANDARD''do not despise or look down on any man,because it doesn't take God a second to turn around someone destiny,a man not so rich or an average man in DECEMBER,God can bless him to be very rich by JANUARY.............HMMMMMMM.

Romance › 13 Facts you must know Before You Say I Do To That Man. by Toks2008(op): 10:57pm On Oct 27, 2015*

It is the wish of many ladies to get married and while some ladies are fully prepared for the institution,many are totally naive about what lies ahead after saying i do but from my little experience in life, i present to you 10 things no mother or pastor will tell you before you say i do to that man.

1.That no matter how sweet the man is to you,no matter how caring and romantic and no matter how many prophets told you he is your man,that sweet man can turn to a demon after saying i do so what it seems before marriage is never a guaranty of what it will be after marriage.

2.If your man beats or cheats on you when you are courting,there is a 90% possibility that he will do even worse after marrying you and you need to understand that it is a big mistake to marry a man with the hope that he will change some characters you don't like but just learn to love him that way or take a walk.

3.If your man beats you once,it could be a mistake but if he beats you the second time then its a habit he is likely never going to stop.

4.That it is good to marry a man you have feelings for but it is a terrible thing to marry a man who does not desire you as much as you desire him.

5.That if you marry a man because of what he has and not because of mutual love then be ready to be miserable in that marriage as long as it lasts.

6.That a man can love you with all his life and could still cheat on you because most men think with that thing down there when it comes to their feelings for women and are polygamous in nature and no matter how sweet and disciplined you are,it will not stop him from cheating on you and divorcing a cheating hubby is no guaranty that the next man won't do worse.

7.As a lady, as long as you are sexually decent,GOD fearing,an excellent cook,financially independent and humble,you have absolutely nothing to fear because it will be extremely difficult for your man to disrespect you much less divorce you.

8.That not all men are calm but some have innate tendency to be violent so you must try at all cost to avoid any form of confrontation.

9.That women are women worst enemies and many of your female friends will be glad to see your marriage crumble so avoid discussing your marital flaws with them but take it to God in prayers and you must block your ears from hear says and believe what your hubby tells you even when you have an irking that he is lieing and whatever you have not seen does not exist.

10.That there is always a lady out there who is ready to push you out of your matrimony and take your place but 90% of men who cheat on their wives are not ready to divorce their wives but it is these wives that push the man out with impatience and hot temper so you will need lots of patience to deal with a philanderer because in most cases,they always come back home after having their feel of the side dishes.

11.That no man owns the key to your marital happiness except you because most men are the same and no man is worth the stress and as soon as you are married,you should focus on building your life as well as that of your child(ren).

12.That no marriage is perfect but every marriage has its own perculiar challenges and you must be ready to work on your marital pasture to look green cos that greener marital pasture you see on the other side have been worked so work on yours and remember that a happy union is not between two compactible people or two romantic people but its the one between two forgivers so learn to forgive and you will have a happy union.

13.That no matter how careful you may be in choosing a spouse,marriage will always be a black market where you must prepare for unforeseen situation and there is no right or wrong choice of man but what we have is your choice and what you make out of it and only GOD can guaranty a happy marriage.

Hope these make some sense.

I knew someone might just make reference to that but honestly the guy is very cute even with the head size.

These are what he wants in a woman and its amazing that asides from the dance thing,i second him 100%

“Physical beauty is important to a certain extent because you have to be attracted to someone to want to get to know more. I like girls that are independent and ambitious, that I can have a real conversation with. I like fun girls; girls who love music and can dance because I love to dance. If you can cook, it’s a huge plus because I am a sucker for good food,” he said

zaza999:
Our company folded up and was closed down without payment of some months salary, let alone paying off. Since then it's not been easy financially and otherwise while seriously looking for job.

The one that surpises me is some friends' attitude since i am jobless.These are people when we were doing well in our office, we mingled together etc, but since the jobless saga started, many of them started disssociating themselves.They wont visit you as usual, they can't even give you a call, most time when you call them, they won't even pick your calls after seeing many missed calls from you on their phone but that wasn't the case when things were okay.

Telling them about helping you in search of jobs seems like a disturbance, many of them you will forward your cv to, will simply ignore making efforts while claiming as if they are doing anything on it. You will be seeing yourself as an abandoned fellow.The story is endless.

I begin to ask, are these as a result of wrong friends or normal thing. Advise or share your experience.

This is an endemic situation to Nigerians.

Though i have never worked as an employee before but as an enterprenure i have had my fair share when i hit the rock bottom few years back so my broda na naija we dey o so pray make God bless your husstle.

Sometimes people do not know where you are coming from and what you have passed through so when you have a certain notion they just cant understand why you reason the way you do.

I am old enough to understand some fcats about our Nigerian ladies and i have 5 beautiful sisters that are of advanced age so i can say i understand naija girls toa certain level.

It will take the grace of GOD for a man to find a Nigerian lady who will put love first before money. Please forget some who will be quick to claim they love for real.

There are basically 2 categories of ladies in Nigeria.

1.The financially independent: Most of the ladies in this category go for real love and are not concerned about teh guy's money..please note the word MOST not all.

2.The struggling lady: Most ladies in this category gives no damn about your love,faithfulness,or sincerity..they will dumb your sorry ass if another guy with enough money comes there way.

But most ladies outside the country say Togo,Ghana,Benin rep and many other African countries will love you whether you are a dbang or a bar tender they care less and i honestly blame it on the economy situation in Nigeria so lets just try and understand these ladies who will not mind to be a third wife to a rich man rather than be the only woman in the life of a struggling guy.

emusmith:
Enough sense to have summarized it.

I guess mods on nairaland should allow at least 20minutes after a thread comes up before taking it to front page if its worth the front page.

The title was modified to "A touching story by Banky.W and the lesson we all must learn from it" just less than 10minutes after originally posting it and when i was unable to change it,i knew it has made front page and there was absolutely nothing i could do about it any more.

I as actually going to sum it up by saying guys should learn never to give up no matter how bad it looks at the moment and that ladies should support the man in their lives in pursuing his dream no matter how insane the situation may seem to be.

But the bottom-line is that ladies are strong factors in the lives of men and i can only imagine how it would have been for any lady in the guy's life during those very hard times hence the need for me to equate the story to the ladies.

So if the mod is reading this i appeal that the topic be changed to "A touching story by Banky.W and the lesson to learn from it"

In all honesty when i first wrote that topic i related it to the ladies because i believe it will take a great deal for a lady to allow her man leave united states and a good job at that to come to Nigeria to pursue a passion in an industry that can not be vouched for.

Then on the second thought i decide to make the topic "A touching story by Banky.W and the lesson we all must learn from it" but when i clicked submit,it was already on front page and i was like wat!.

Nevertheless this headline in relation to the story still relates because of the first two paragraphs.

How many ladies will allow their bae leave a great job in the states to come to Nigeria in the bid to fulfill his passion at a time when others were running out?

This is a touching story for our ladies to take a cue from and understand that most great men have passed through terrible times and im so positive that if he has had a lady stood by him during his hard days,he won't be confused as to which lady to marry because most of our stars are happily married to their long time girlfriends.

Story By Banky.W

So yes there were videos on tv, but I was flat out broke. I'd spent all my savings on my music business.. I was driving a beat down car that broke down on every possible major road in Lagos, and I had resorted to "borrowing" 5k from my manager weekly, to fuel my car and buy recharge cards. I'd started second guessing my decision. Shld I have moved back at all? Shld I have listened to folks and stayed in nyc? It was hard. I wasn't getting any show bookings, infact Segun & I used to show up to events wayyy early just to make sure we could get inside, and times without number we wld beg & plead to get 5 mins to perform on shows only to get turned down. I was frustrated. Why wasn't my music working here? Why couldnt ppl see what we saw?
.

I was in shock. How did he expect me to just shake everything off just like that? My mental state was a total mess. I didn't have a penny to even pay for the studio time, and even my car had been bashed. I said "bro even if I want to record, how would I pay for it?" He asked who I'd wanna work with and I said Cobhams. He asked me to find out how much it would cost... I did. The next day he walked into my room with the entire amount in full that he had borrowed from someone. Plus extra for cab fare.

I shared this particular story because I also want to encourage y'all. I know life can be hard and harsh, but don't give up hope after the darkest of nights, because your morning is right around the corner.

I was in shock. How did he expect me to just shake everything off just like that? My mental state was a total mess. I didn't have a penny to even pay for the studio time, and even my car had been bashed. I said "bro even if I want to record, how would I pay for it?" He asked who I'd wanna work with and I said Cobhams. He asked me to find out how much it would cost... I did. The next day he walked into my room with the entire amount in full that he had borrowed from someone. Plus extra for cab fare.

I paid for the Cobhams sessions, and the very first song we created was "Strong Ting".. till date one of my biggest hits in Africa. The requests for performances started coming.. I started actually receiving airplay. Ppl finally started understanding me and my music, and better yet, they ACTUALLY liked it! My life changed from that moment and so did my finances.

I still marvel at the thought that the hit single strong thing was sang a midst his travails and to think that was possible with a borrowed money and to most viewers they will be like this guy must be rich..no wonder the guy does not flaunt stuffs...im impressed.
