Let's hear your perspective

Well, post like this doesn't really make sense to me because it lacks thoughtfulness. Of all the things that marriage encompasses, I don't think financial competition or segregation should be the principal thing between partners.

Though, everyone has got a standard but when it comes to marriage, your standard may fail you. Sometimes, your standard may not be enough to keep a relationship

To each his own opinion sha

Ooooooh! I landed in page 7
Observing comments sha

You nailed it bro!

who hacked tosyne2much's account

Nobody kuku hacked my account. I'm still the same person

SirMichael1:
Tosyne2much, ebi like say your head have knock abi?

This your list seem almost unbelievable especially the whatsapp and the funeral part

Look at you sha! I proposed to my financee on whatsapp and today, we are married with two kids

Marriage proposals are a huge deal. You are making a pre-commitment to surrender yourself to a lady for the rest of your life. It's a phase when you surrender bachelorhood for fatherhood in promising to raise children with her and remain faithful to her in all things. Since it’s such a big deal, you need to go about it the right way, which entails being original and true to yourself and knowing your bride-to-be very well, rather than a public exhibition of stupidity and all sorts of irrelevant dramas just to subject a lady to ulterior shock and perhaps, trend on social media.

However, marriage proposal is now a form of competition where broke guys go out of their ways in order to feel among, and below are the places broke guys normally propose to their girlfriends

1. Whatsapp

I don't understand why a guy cannot stand in the presence of the one lady he claims to love to express his intent, rather than do it on Whatsapp of all places. This barbaric act is very common with broke guys since they cannot afford to propose to a lady at exotic places. They subscribe to Whatsapp monthly plan of 10MB and will use it to propose to their girlfriends on Whatsapp call, OLX, Facebook, Snapchat, 2go, Badoo, etc

2. Public Transport

It's mildly embarrassing to see guys proposing to their girlfriends in danfo buses, keke napep, BRT buses, molue. In fact, some guys are broke yet confident that they can woo and propose to a random lady on okada. This is one of the ways broke guys normally propose to ladies

3. In the Bedroom

I want us to know that it's not every guy that can afford to propose to a lady at Shoprite, Silverbird cinema or Elegushi. And as a commissioner for broke guys on social media, many will agree with me (Tosyne2much) that some of us will rather propose to our girlfriends on a low key in our one face-to-face apartment in order to avoid public mockery and embarrassment.

4. At Beer Palour

At funny as it sounds, those who are broke and are battling with low self esteem will first get drunk at a local restaurant for morale boosting before proposing to their girlfriends. This is usually due to the fear of rejection but after gulping ten bottles of beer and two plates of nkwobi, they get drunk and begin to propose to her publicly.

5. At the Roadside/ Bus Stop

To some people, you will not have a successful marriage in as much as you haven't put your girlfriend on the spot by staging a drama and popping the question in front of family, friends and enemies. Some of us must have witnessed at least a guy who proposed to his girlfriend at Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Iyana-Ipaja bus stop, Alaba international market, Ladipo market, etc; and other places dominated by thugs/area boys.

6. Market Places

I know a guy in my area who got the shock of his life when his girlfriend turned down his proposal and walked out on him simply because he proposed to her in a market place. She felt embarrassed and quickly took the next available okada when her boyfriend proposed to her in a place where pepper, tomatoes, ponmo, locus beans are sold. When the guy was made the subject of laughter by people who witnessed the scenario, he told them not to blame him that he was broke and that was what he could afford to do.

7. At People's Party

Broke guys are naturally smart people and can steal other people's show just to create attention for themselves. Since they can't afford to make an elaborate marriage proposal, they will steal other people show by proposing to their girlfriends when they see that the places is crowded so that the attention will be diverted to them. Some of them will even take their marriage proposal pictures with Sagem or Alcatel phone

8. At Funeral

As funny as it sounds, some broke guys can propose to their girlfriends where people are mourning the death of their loved one. This has once happened in Ojuelegba where a guy was beaten to pulp and handed over to the police for proposing at a funeral.

9. At NYSC Camp

Many will agree with Tosyne2much that another place broke guys normally propose to their girlfriend is NYSC camp ground. The moment they meet their future partner in camp, they make it seem like a joke and will propose to her even though they only survive by their monthly alawi being offered by federal government.

10. Election Ground/ Polling Booth

Last year we saw the story of a guy who proposed to his girlfriend at a polling booth since that's what he can afford. This is usually common with APC supporters

I drop my pencil at this juncture

Classic fallacy

I believe you saw the word "sometimes"

When you take a lady to a rendezvous and all she's doing is chatting incessantly.

Antina:
No talk this one oo

Hope say you no dey do am?

SirMichael1:
What I do when I'm close by someone who is snoring is that I push his bed shakily or if I can't, I throw a pillow at him and quickly feign sleep, he wakes up, turns around and look for who might have done that, seeing that I am fast asleep, he arranges himself and sleep too. That gives me barely enough time to fall asleep but it is still manageable. Also, I make sure I don't drink too much water so as not to wake during the night to urinate and meet that scenario, thereby starting all over again.


I'm not wicked o! I practically can't fall asleep when people are snoring. It's either I get up and leave or I do something about it.

Lmao

Children without home training will never eat a food when there's no meat in it

BrightEye:
what! it is even the so called good girls that follow the bad guys to the grave. They show that good attitude of loyalty and perseverance most, when their guys are broke.

That brings us to the conclusion that good people sometimes do not get the best in life

BiafraBushBoy:
Your signature is the best I have seen in a decade!!
Brilliant Tosyne!!
I love it!!

Baba thanks ooooo, na me hail you pass oooo

SirMichael1:
Lol... That's almost entirely true for everyone who snores. I just moved in to a new location and mehn... It's tough here. It's a compound with two houses joined together, the landlord's and mine... I practically can't sleep during most nights as the man snores incredibly loud. It's as though his throat is grinding and tryna forcefully force air out through his mouth.


I do believe that some are diseases though. A guy in my sec school had an issue with this only that it was a disease. He snore audibly too

When I was still in school, I accommodated a guy during his post UME and when he guy started snoring, I had to leave my room at 1am and headed to my friend's place to crash. Meanwhile, my friend's place is a bit far ooo but I had to take the risk just because I couldn't cope with the way the guy dey sound ooo

The truth of the matter is that good guys are usually broke and you know ladies detest broke guys

Aderola15:
Na why relationship dey tire me at times. I don't even want to drop any advice on this thread

You'll saying she should involve his mum in this minor issue, na like this e dey start nii... Sha don't bring my mother in-law won't stop interfering in our marriage thread here oooo because na una dey drag the woman into this unnecessary drama.

Shey you know you shouldn't take any slight issue with levity especially when you're in a fruitful relationship. Little things like this has ruined many relationships, so I will advise she gives it all she can at the expense of keeping her man

SirMichael1:
A lady snoring is never a good sight to behold o. You go just dey ask yourself say which kind wahala be this nau and na girl this one be o.

And the annoying thing is that people that snore are the first to fall asleep

I have a friend that starts snoring within two minutes of sleeping

Airforce1:

Mind you, tomorrow is another month, so I will advise you use that as an opportunity to blow his mind with a fascinating new month message. You should know the right thing to compose

Aderola15:
Forgive her, forgive her you say? What's her crime because I'm yet to see any from her post?

Maybe because I don't know the right word to use sha

Jakumo:
You know you lyin' bro. Even if that jet was chartered, it takes serious money to afford that means of transportation, which of course never fails to impress mortals of average means, WORLDWIDE, including ALL "civilized countries".

American celebs pose in private jets all the time, to amaze the peasants who sit in economy class if ever they fly. Those who OWN the private jets, and who regularly flaunt their rich mans' toys, include actor John Travolta, who owns FIVE jet aircraft, Harrison Ford, who owns a small fleet of aircraft, and Tiger Woods, ALL of who pose proudly with their birds at every opportunity that arises.

Hmmmmm.. Well, I'm inclined to humbly agree with you bro

Nickymezor:
Give him tym, he wld come around.

Yes he will surely come around

A lady that posses all these qualities is a blessing in disguise sha. I hope you can find them on Nairaland here

Fabulocity:
This tosyn sef. Sometimes I read your posts and they make so much sense and other times I read your comments and I just feel like DHLing a brain resetting slap to you wherever you are. I really believe you should know and do better this.

It happens sha.. Sometimes, one just have to post poo jawe

jconsulting:
Honestly Nigerians are poor mentally, I don't know why sitting in a private jet now turns into achievement

In a civilized country, things like this do not move them. It's only a country like Nigeria where poverty thrives that we see something like this as a great achievement

Leaders of tomorrow indeed. Hope tosyne2much was beaten up too

I'm not even a student of OAU

FreeSpirited:
Ladies are so bad with advice...A man gives advice as to how to win their husband over, all of them are busy attacking him, spewing thrash and jargons....some refuse to use their brain to understand the contextual meaning of 'tame'. Is sense so far away from women folk? A piece of advice that cost nothing... Just two words ' submissive and respect' yet its hard for them to understand. No wonder their marriage is always full of problems upon problems...cos they will never learn. Their brain is devoid of learning centre only filled wit quarell and nagging centres. Shiorrr..shameful! Disgrace to common sense.
Men are not complicated beings. If a man truly loves you all you need to win him to your side all the time is 'Respect and being submissive'. Everyother tip is just a waist of time and energy. Until you do those two things, forget it, you will never have peace from a real man. Nonsense elements!

I think this is the best comment so far.. Nice one bro
