I don't know about you but I don't want to be poor so I can't stay with any man whom is willing to remain poor, it's one thing to be poor when we met and another to want to remain that way.

Have you seen what poverty can do?
I see, so who are you to predetermine the fate of a man and what exactly is the definition of being poor?


Lack of millions?
Lack of comfortable life?

And why not try and be rich too even if the guy remins poor as long as he loves you?

So between a poor loving man and a rich jerk which one will you choose provided they will remain like that for life.

This is wh many ladies will always mary for the wrong reasons

Wait! i dont seem to get it.

When does loving a man or staying with a man based on what he is or his future status?

SO its now impossible for a lady to stay in love with a man even if he remains poor for as long as he lives.

In politics you cant do without spending money even if this is not surppose to be but thats the truth.

Even in united states,money was still spent just that they dont do it openly.

No matter the change anyone wants to implement the truth must be said. IN THE PURSE OF THE FEDERATION THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SIPHON,IMPLEMENT AND TO RESERVE BUT THE PROBLEMS WITH OUR GREEDY LEADERS IS THAT AFTER SIPHONING THE ONE THAT IS MEANT FOR THAT, THEY WILL STILL NOT USE THE REMAINING TO IMPLEMENT AND LEAVING LITTLE OR NOTHING IN RESERVE.

nigerians are just innately stubborn! I read a news here on nairaland where the federal government was warning against importing frozen chicken and turkey meat due to the outbreak of ebola across the globe.A lot of countries have taken stringent measures to curtail agricultural produce being imported into their land. But here, people are lambasting the government for doing their work! even though they said the meat might be dangerous to the public hence its destruction. you nigerians are like the proverbial isrealites in the wilderness, stubborn, headstrong and outright ungrateful..you want a government that works, but in the same vein attack them for doing the right thing. .twa!
Can you please make reference to one death case recorded in Nigeria as a result of eating frozen turkey or chicken?

Its like the government want Nigerians to start eating turkey in their dream since its out of reach for most Nigerians due to the cost.

As old as i am i have only bought life turkey once and i can imagine how many people would be able to cough out 15/25k to buy just one life turkey even if i believe frozen chicken shoud be avoided since we can get cheap ones for 1k but for turkey i dont support the ban.

These countries exporting it here are not evil hence will never export any contaminated product but when you hear of spoilt ones been brought in what really happens is that customs must have seized them and maybe released them days after and because these traders will want to recoup their money will still bring them in.

7. Never give him money to pay your bride price grin cheesy



Nice write up


Should a woman assist her fiancé in paying the bride price?


This is very funny a question.

Of-course not. Bride price should be paid by the man but then i believe the issue of bride price in today's world have been blown out of proportion and what we see today is totally absurd.

Tradition is very important and must be adhered to but let me make it clear to many pastors who have not found it necessary to understand the concept of bride price from the Biblical point of view and to many ignorant people who have misconstrued the essence of the act.

The Biblical bride price(Lobola) is totally different from what we see today as parents practically sell their daughters in some parts of the world and you will see the man treating the lady like shits after marriage shouting "I paid your bride price" as though that is a condition to make her feel like a bought object.

DEMANDING MONETARY OR MATERIAL BRIDE PRICE FOR A CONSENSUAL UNION IS NOT BIBLICAL BUT A PRODUCT OF MAN MADE GREEDY TRADITION

In the bible, 50 shekels of silver was the amount a man who RAPES a virgin must pay AS A PENALTY for the wrong doing and even after paying the father of the lady can still deny him the lady in question beacuse the money paid is a penalty for the crime but today the greedy world have made this a reference point to demand for insane amount on a lady who is far from been a virgin.

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 reads "Suppose a man is caught raping a young woman who is not engaged,He is to pay her father the bride price of fifty pieces of silver, and she is to become his wife, because he forced her to have intercourse with him. He can never divorce her as long as he lives"

Exodus 22:16-17 also states “If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price for her and make her his wife. If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equal to the bride-price for virgins.

The most acceptable bride price according to the bible should be paid ONLY FOR VIRGINS in form of gifts or maybe even money only at the discretion of the groom to be as seen in the case of Abraham sending his servant to bring a wife for Isaac and never by demand as we see today where they will ask the man to come and collect a list from the bride's family.

Genesis 24 - Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, A VIRGIN,NO MAN HAD KNOWN HER And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up. And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.” So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, ...

Genesis 24:53-59:Then the servant brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothing and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave costly gifts to her brother and to her mother.

So they called Rebekah and asked her, "Will you go with this man?" "I will go," she said.So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham's servant and his men.

This is a wake up call for us to teach our daughters good ethics and enshrine it in their psyche that it pays to remain a virgin for your husband alone. Yes we know we may have peculiar cases of sexual abuses which of-course can be waived but parents should stop using the Bible as a guide to the man made policy of the type of bride price demanded in this present day.

I am not against paying of bride price on a lady a man wants to marry even if she is a LovePeddler but its high time we drew a line between man made tradition and Biblical injunctions.

I hope this helps.
Car TalkRe: Nigeria's First Three-wheeler (pics) by Toks2008(m): 10:25pm On Dec 02, 2014
After reading through all these comments i can only laugh at the responses
adanny01:
Thinking for a while how the mechanic achieved that, i realised it is possible. These were the conditions i thought of;
1. Move as much weight as posible to the front
2. Lose as much weight as posible from the rear.
3. Increase as much as possible the rear ground clearance.
That means removing rear seats, most of the suspension parts of the affected wheel and spare tire/tools. Use a very high suspension coil spring for the other rear wheel as evident in the picture. The driver can add some weight on his foot well plus his weight should achieve that but without a passenger. Am sure it will be very unstable.
.

It is very possible and guys who are into border goods transport understand how to do it and it does not require all the stuffs you mentioned.
PoliticsRe: IG Of Police Says ‘thugs’ Tried To Enter NASS, Insists Tambuwal Is Not Speaker by Toks2008(m): 10:15am On Nov 27, 2014
This is the impunity and disregard to rule of law that has characterized this administration, the court ordered a return to the status quo after the IG withdrew the security details of the Speaker,but rather than obey that they went ahead to desecrate the hallowed chamber by locking out elected representatives.

I don't understand how Hon Leo Ogor the deputy Majority leader and even the house majority leader still refer to Tambuwal as Mr Speaker and a mere appendage of the presidency refuses to do same,its quite a pity.

When Nigerians during late Yar'adua's administration resisted the attempted hijack of the govt by the first lady Turai and Aondoaka,we insisted the right thing be done not mainly because of our love for GEJ, but because we want the constitution and rule of law to be respected.

The House of Assembly just like the executive is a separate arm of the government and its imperative the sanctity should be respected,for the good of our nascent democracy.

In my pinion, the IGP really need to soft pedal because in life,anything can happen tomorrow.

As long as the judicial arm of government have not ruled otherwise,Tambuwa still remains the speaker and i believe a man f his status should know better.

FamilyRe: Under What Conditions Should A Christian (born Again) Divorce? by Toks2008(m): 11:41am On Nov 23, 2014
aisha2:
The Bible I realise has really beem twisted over the years
God was more concerned about adulterous men than the act of divorce itself but over the years the same adulterous men have de emphasised the adultery part and blackmailed women into staying in misery with adulterous men.

God spoke 5 chapters condemning adultery and unfaithfulness yet they never preach that. Hence people read the bible for yourselves
If we all look at it critically,adultery is not a ground for divorce for a lady but for only the man.

In many contexts when bible talks about he,it usually applies to both gender but in the case of divorce based on adultery,its clearly specific that adultery is a ground for the man to divorce and not the woman.

Yes adultery is a sin but given the fact of the polygamous tendencies of men i do not see any logic in a lady divorcing her husby cos of this.

There is no guaranty that the nxt man wont do worse.

In my opinion,marital infidelity is not about sexual infidelity alone.

A man or woman who refuses the spouse conjugal right has comitted marital infidelity

A spouse who beats up the partbner has commited marital infidelity

A man who also refuses to tend to the emotional needs of the wife is also guilty of marital unfaithfullness.

So a man or woman can dvorce based on these reasons yet we are encouraged to fgv one another 70 x 7 times a day so as believers,we really should not be involved in divorce.

A married lady who divorces based on watever reason shall live as an adultress all the days of her life if she gets nvolved wth anthr man while a man who dvrces wife asides from sexual infidelity is guilty of making that lady an adultress.

Very twisted but the bottpmline is that we should avoid divorce at all cost.

You know, at certain age for a man,you dont want to go through the stress of wooing,following up,dating and stuffs like that.

What on earth will a 40year old man be looking for if not a wife and please tell me,how many years courtship does he need. So a lady who is interested in setting down is tagged desperado but not necessarily a frustrated lady.

At a stage in a man or woman's life we need to be desperate for matrimony.
