^^^^
seriously that story of MaCarthy made sick.The guy had made it already.Then the marriage only lasted like what?/ then she wants half?
made me question the reason she married him.

^^^ Well am I not the one asking that question here??

Does it ? I think it can do 2 things either SHUT EM DOORS AND WINDOWS permanently or BRING THE WHOLE HOUSE DOWN 
Point of ref:  smbody mentioned whitney houston.

'The brand is based on 'his singlehood'. To marry would defeat the purpose of the brand.'

WOW!! Now Now Now that is somethin!! Dude lol.So now he cant marry! .
That best describes the title of my thread.It should now read;

MEET MR/MRS BRANDNAME

I really have to contemplate on that u said.Very complex indeed.

^^^ what is saby what does 'saby upendo well mean'??

do we africans embrace this??

Its a crzy world.

Backflash. At 19 I was out of high school and thinking about what course to study.marriage never crossed my mind.
What on earth are you talking about little girl?

@Those in marriage want to pop out cz what they saw while out is not what they discovered on getting in.
@Those that are out like you want to jump in there yet you are still,emotionally,financially,spiritually,socially,unstable!

My 2cents worth of Advise?

1.' NEVER EVER GET MARRIED TO TRY AND PROVE A POINT TO ANYBDODY.
You only prove to the person you are marrying. and that is 'you love them enough to marry them'

2. Get a life. Be busy.get a job part time or study. Dont stay in house whole day.What you are feeling is normal 'teenage rebellion' I also felt that way too.
We all did i think.

3.For heavens sake! don't scream and shout that you are desperate to get married!! You will attract flies that will suck you up and dump you like shit.

Why? cz they want your young body only but you are not yet 'wife material'. It takes a while to build and make a 'wife material' Its not just automatic becz you are a girl!! Not every girl can make a good wife.
Allow yourself to grow dear.Enjoy your youth for now otherwise if ur gonna throw it all now then when you hit 50 you want to behave like a teen coz you missed developing that stage!!.

4. DO NOT GET MARRIED NOW.Try get a life dear.

Oh God!!

@kpolli.

either way.

If its the gal insisting that you sign cz shes wealthier will you sign? if its the guy demanding will you as a gal sign.?

if she or he refuses,will you dump her and diregard his /her good qualities that brought you together in the first place?

@kpolli good questn
Be4 the business was,the owner existed. from baby to grown up. This baby grew up, worked hard and created her business using her 'mind'
B4 the biz grew,people only knew her product as Martha's products. I can imagine somebody going to the mall and asking for 'the martha detergent or the martha bread etc etc.
Within time she discovered her name made the products sell so she decided after much deliberation to make her name her brand,something that resulted in increased sales and put her on the international platform.This made many investors want to invest in her cz of her name.

So to answer your question? she created the business using her brains,but build it using her name

Now see?? I am trying to make you stop referring to people as Zodiac signs. Jeeez!! dont they have names/personality?
How do u say I dated a capricorn or spider gal?? why not say I dated Naomi or Manyasi?? How do I say I dated a 'tourist boy'?? lol
If I met you and you start calling me capricorn or popcorn gal al be soo pissed of.You know why?
Cz I dont want you to classify me together with the 'rest'.I want to feel special as 'upendo'.
Now that is a woman thing maybe u dont understand.
And I have never killed anybody with my dressing you know plus I am a nun.So oop! sorry your soo wrong.

oh sory i posted the above b4 i could edit.Disregard it

Okay baba,

But I just told u am capricorn.I just dont walk, talk, think, and move like capricorn.(I dnt know why capricorn reminds me of a centipede! )
Environment and Belief shape me.
And I don't expect a man to date me[b] the 'capricorn but me Upendo[/b]

@ potato .thank u and thumbs up. I am from Africa but my head is in the world and am a she.

LOL you people get real. 

Seriously and no offence. Let me try describing it this way.
Zodiac signs are just an 'Umbrella'under which we all try to fit in and find our place. Before Zodiac, we already are. A baby born in in Northpole in Dec  and another born in Southpole in June are just babies. One may be capricorn and the other whatevr.Now if you took those babies to come live in Congo, trust me they will develop some singing/dancing tendency.Why cz the environment shaped their choices somehow. Take those babies to Jamaica and see how there love lives will be. Shaped again by the environment.Now you can see how irrelevant zodiac signs can be. I am capricorn but see capricorn doenst  'define me' or determine my choices in life if you understand what I mean, yet all I read about capricorn 'maybe'true.
So if you try to apply Zodiac in the dating scene then you will misfire completely. why

1.My religious beliefs shape day to day living. So I dont live by capricorn but by the Bible u  know.
2.When the going gets tough or say you place me in a different environment, then I change like a chamelion. My attitude/character/belief all change depending on who I am with and where I am. And why I change is, so that I can adjust and fit in with the current environment,something that may nt be possible for me to do if I reasoned and acted like 'capricorn ' 

@ iice.

Can that man be found in Africa? Ego and strong cultural beliefs among our dear men are bringing the single succesful woman's carreer to a halt.
Still hard for them to embrace Ms Brandname unless she carries the other tagname 'Dragonfly'.

lol ok i think I know who the real fool here is now.
You are funny

@op

Taurus,calculus,or virus gal, I see no difference. I believe that our character and belief is shaped by the environment we live in.
By that I mean if you took that Taurus gal to go live in Pagopago or Kalahari desert,some of those traits may disappear into thin air.
Summary is, the month and day of birth doesnt shape your character or determine your destiny.
Its you to shape it within the environment you are in of course together with your God.
Cheers

you are right iice.now imagine this.
You have met this lovely man or woman of your dreams.You date and as usual you dont talk about prenupt while dating till you are ready to cross the bridge.
The day you mention that she must sign the prenup b4 marriage she/he changes and thinks you are being mean.She wont sign cz she believes when you get married everything is both yours whether you came wth a palace and she, pots and pans.
Will you drop her like hot potato or[b] marry her without prenup cz shes got all your looking for in a partner??[/b]yet uv really invested in the relationship as in given it your time,money etc etc.

@olaisrich

Educate me! coz [/b]I cnt believe wht you said.  
Its a modern world we agree and therefore not '[b]everything from our culture is applicable'!!! If we pick up everything some will destroy our dreams of progressing! Pick what adds value and leave the rest in the village.eg you cant go to office in say Abuja wearing sisal and beads coz it's preserving culture!!
Some beliefs are completely out of touch with the reallity now.They only worked in the 'previous generation coz the environment and community allowed.
Now when you tell me that its 'culturaly correct for a woman to live in her parents house till shes ready to marry and you try to fit that into this modern world, then I think we r not being realistic.
People leave their homes to go study.others cz  they got a good job,decide to live on their own.
Now are you telling me that a good man perceives a woman living on her own and taking care of her bills wrongly?
Then I and many other women are doomed!! What is wrong with me paying rent,buying food for myself yet am not yet married??
I sweat so I can take care of my bills then you say a man will think I rely on men for my survival
What world are you in Olaisrich.Here where I am,every woman after landing a job wnts to move out and be responsible.I fully support that.
With your school of thought then you will make women rush to marry immediately they leave school.After all its the only way out of their parents house and trust me at one point in life we all want to get out.
On that note. it dont mean that I go brag!! I look for smbody ,my level so that we help each other out.Whats wrong with me buying food and him paying rent and viceversa? This ego can drive us nuts at times cz hey a man may lose his money bt if the woman is stable financialy then she can uphold him.
Thats the life nowdays. The community may not be there in the town to help you out. But your partner can.
Halooooooooo??

Brown jay! Afrocinema continues shortly.I will be back soon.
Hold on to the thread.
Breaktime 4 me

@olaisrich,
you are taking us back to old age,surely.
Here we are working hard to relieve our parents the burden of taking care of grownups and then your talking about a 28 year old going back to her parent's house?? yet she earns her own money.She ought to be supporting them not being fed at her age!
when its marriage fine she's taken from the parents house then they(couple) decide wht to do with her house if it wasnt rented.
And who said she will get a hubby once she goes back??
Do you knw that some men prefer women that know how to take care of themselves and have proved it?
Women that take care of their own bills and stuff? Theres a big diffrence btwn a woman still living wth parents and that taking care of her bills.
On that note. Please NOT all women are untrustworthy just cz thy live on their own you know.You should meet some of them.

Yes High chief of course she can.
But can she reconcile that Dragon name with her product?
Can smbody tell me if they belive 'reconnecting/reconciling'the 2 names will be easy.
I dont knw really I just think it wil not.
Imagine Martha Stewart the business then you hear Mrs.Dragonfly the owner of Martha Stewart Brand!! We r soo used to martha that Dragon is gonna take forever to digest!!
Besides I may not feel like buying her stuff anymore cz I feel she less martha than she was b4.I loved the Brand Martha
Gosh is anybody getting me?? I think its product psychology now.If theres such a thing

mmmh dude, i would hate to be in a boardroom with you. You have the answer to everything and they look reasonable enough especially in this crazy world!!!!!
so now we have tangible assets. And we split according to a certain ratio based on 2 things.

a) what each came with separately
b) what we both made during marriage

if u caused me depression, can i convert it into monetary value? and if so how? note: i never went to the doc. i just grew very thin.

See people I dont wnat herto change her business name.Hence the title of the thread.
I just wnat you to tell me 'suppose the husband to be is those unreasonable type /hardheaded type .All he cares about is his name you know.
So he doenst wnat to here anymore ms.apple or ms.brand.He insists that the wife must submit,take on the husbands name and change everything including business name ( this is like law in africa of course
So instead of Ms.Apple iphone -30,you have Ms Dragon iphone - 30!
wld u rather change or quit the relationship?

@ Deniyor,
Thts why I need our input.I dont know it all you know and I learn too.
As long as she doesnt change the name of the business she's cool.
Are u like 100% sure it wont affect the products at the base? its all am asking.

Okay lets narrow tht to africa now.cz in the US all is possible. Wl a real african man be comforatable wth wife nt taking on hs name in public?

Now what again 190?
I am just trying to explain it in the language 'you understand best you know'
Now if you dont get that I really cnt help you.

oops sorry theres Brown jay and james dman oops sorry. total confusion.

Now james ,If Apple the corporate brand was say my name as in am Ms.Apple, then we all know the apple products the Ipods and the other 'yaketi shmaketis'
A local person will go buy an 'apple phone for instance' not necessarily cz it functions well,but cz its APPLE THE BRAND.
In the corporate world brands really matter to investors especially and competitors. Rember uv built an empire using it.
Then they hear you are all of a sudden Apple Dragon!!!  Dont u think smhow your brand will lose that 'thing u know 'tht makes it what it is?
And then connceting you as a person to your Brand will be another story altogether.You will just confuse the masses
Now dont even talk about costs resulting from the confusion!

@ reality 101!
the music is on already. get on the dancefloor and dance.
lets see 'if you think you can dance'

lol people.

brownjay seriously, in that case then men also ought to move into their wive's house when they marry.ok am assuming she isnt leaving wth parents at the tyme of marrige.Then we can also boast 'i came wth my house u know'
Now if all I came with are my pots and pans and I take care of the home eg i am housewife like in some cases. then what now?
I leave with pots after investing time and energy bringing our kids while you worked?
You know I once heard a case whether the woman demanded payment for wear and tear since she was a house wife while the dude worked?
See how bad prenupt can be?
Sieving is good yes.So now w are saying that signing a prenup is a sign of true love?

@ 190
Read the thread and please I need you contribution.
Okay just assume She's Ms Brandname and 190 wants her to become MRS 190 after marriage, Which will eventually bring the biz down.
Would you force your wife to take on your name is she was a brand herself and you are not

brownjay lol. pliz dont die yet, we need your contributions!!!
I just have this sort of 'crazy mind' and I am always figuring out something but they come out of real life encounters anyway.
now back to thread.
An ugly name could kill the brand!!! cant mix the dragon together with the 'Ms'. it dilutes and makes it lose value lol!!
