Good girl
You tell women they won't listen
I always say that any girl that wants to marry and is ready should not spend more than 3 months with any man
Within 1-3 months you can tell a man who is ready,you don't have to do a thing to make him come to that conclusion
From the first few dates,my hubby was already talking about us and a future with me in it
People think it is when you wash clothes and clean house and play wife that he will wake up one day and have a change of heart
No way
You could sit and gist all day without boiling him an egg ,if you are the one you are the one
I didn't even know how to cook till I was married,that's how pathetic I was n the kitchen department
He taught me how to cook many things
Even till this day,I ask him questions regarding kitchen stuff
I cooked with water leaf for the first time a few weeks ago
He was the person that told me it needed to be sliced and to lay easy on the water while boiling the meat/ have all the water dried up or the soup will be very watery

Hmmmm........this ur advice sha. Truth be told, men know what they want and are easy to make up their mind but you saying that 3 months is very much enough to come to a conclusion is somewhat an overkill. I know it's wrong to string a good sister along but has it ever occurred to you that some good guys can also be very picky when it comes to picking a partner? You make it seem like it's only women that have all the rights or get played. My dear some guys also have tales. E be like say your guy is a yes man (no offence).

That your husband married you not minding that you are a bad cook is not a guarantee that it will work for others. If anything, the real worthy guys make sure the package's exterior is in tandem with the content before they say I do. I grade guys who see a lady immediately and start talking about marriage as foolish and tasteless. What happened to taking time to know someone better. What if the babe is pretending like most women do when they sense you are coming for marriage? A MAN HAS EQUAL RIGHTS TO ENTERTAIN DOUBTS UNLESS HE IS OPEN TO DIVORCE IN THE FUTURE!. On the other hand, I believe 6 months to 12 months is enough for any serious dude to really make his decision. Some of the advices being bandied about here are clearly from newlyweds. When your marriage has crossed at least 5 years and above, your advice may start being an authority, as for now lets take them as they come and move on. Many of you women don't know how hard it is for a man to plan and execute a wedding amidst it's attendant challenges.
BTW: I feel like you call the shots in the marriage, hope am wrong?

Can one gate crash the NNPC test? Am asking to know cos I have three guys, two got the sms and the remaining one didn't even register at all but is seriously considering the option. And for those who are in Owerri, where is their venue.

Barywhyte:
I once requested for people to send me study materials for this NNPC test and no one even attempt to do me that favor and that was on this thread. Well, I want to do some people favor here tonight. Just five email addresses will do. I will send nnpc test questions conducted 3 years to those addresses. This is not GMAT or KMAT or whatever MAT. This is real thing just as it was conducted that very year. First five addresses will get it. 120 questions. Hurry Now!

could this b scam??

. Brother, just bone those guys. My cousin got exactly the same text, he did background checks and decided to ignore them. That 5000 Naira they are asking you to send is the first of other demands they will make. Luring you in is the first step. Run as fast as your legs can carry you!! A word is enough for the wise.

Medunah:
And did it ever occur to anyone that the woman wasnt with her phone? Cos i dont understand aw a woman would be with her fone and someone (ur hubby for that matter) would call 67times and she still wouldnt pick cos for someone to call u for over 5 - 10 times, u should know theres sumfin wrong.

My dear the question ain't whether she was with her phone. The question is why she would leave her phone at an uncomfortable distance for such a length of time. My cousin embarked on a needless journey few months back because she wouldn't pick her call to get the information which could have saved her the stress. Imagine motoring from Lagos to Delta state for an appointment which had been shifted.

amunkita:
Seriously O.P.. U re very right..
Ysterday was on site wiv dis married dude @ agbara, when we decided to leave, d car had issues prompting us to leave around 6pm.
And this dude is goin to awoyaya, cous of d distance he planned staying ova at my place to enable him go bak to agbara 2day 4 d car.

Culd u blive he started callin his wife rite frm agbara till we got to Festac, she did not pick or called bak.

Personally, I was boiling buh I resolved its not my bizness.

I pray God doz not give mii such a wife cous certainly she wuld run...

Nwanne iji ya. The funny thing is that if the husband tries half of that, serious kasala go burst.
NB: This ur handle heavy for mouth o.

evegran:
Dunno about her!

But I always pick my calls, unless its someone I don't wanna talk to -then I usually either busy the call or let it ring (my ring tone is one of my fav songs) .

It bothers me when folks make it a habit not to pick calls but at the same time-they probably need more mobile manners or they just don't wanna talk to ya.

Op you really didn't have to say "women" on this issue. You coulda simply said "folks or people".

You're obviously seeking drama!

Pls define drama for me. If you like call am concert na you sabi.

amunkita:
I swear to wat god u blive in. If u like b most beauriful fin on earth, if I did lose a contract or somfin vital cous of ur assertion up there, then she wuld see a monster her generation ve neva seen..

As in eh! She think say marriage na small pikin matter.

malaria:
. Then u check yourself, u must have annoyed her either by commission or omission.

Why are you women particular about this issue of being annoyed? I assumed you are not yet married dear cos if the reason is just being annoyed, trust you me, you are setting the tone for regrettable chain reactions. Can you stand the same treatment? As a matter of fact, I have one of the sweetest fiancee you can find. And we hardly have problems. Yet she, and most of the female folk I know (including my sisters and female colleagues), have this as their weak point!

ucheokpara100:
woman mostly answers call base on very important person, else thy feel disturbed cos of number of men disturbin thm, so if u dnt hv anytin important to giv or say dnt call thm frequently else u 'll feel embarassed d type of treatments u 'll receive.

Hazardd:
Pls before I commit
malaria free my body wetin I do you
*some girl, simply because the have that ego wouldn't pink their call.
*some of them normally forget their phone at home and goes out and some put their phone on silent for security reasons
*And many more

Okay. I understand where you guys are coming from. She can be forgiven if it's a new relationship. Here, am talking about long standing, real relationship; I mean marriages and fiance-fiancee stuff. Some people don't deserve to have a handset sha.

Valued:
You want it to look like she'd been sitting all day, anxiously waiting for you to call her? Doing that once in a while is very important, cos it portrays you a busy person...but if the person calls for more than 10times, it could be that something is at stake so I just pick... But for the two cases you cited, maybe the husband annoyed his wife before leaving...and maybe the mother wasn't with her phone.

Really? My dear am telling you what happens in 8 out of 10 serious relationships, maritally and otherwise. This is not a matter of the man annoying her anything. Don't you think trying to create such an impression is outright childish? "maybe the mother wasn't with her phone" you said? Guess you ignored where I said she was fond of ignoring calls from unknown numbers? Ever wondered why women also lose their phones more than guys? It's called handset for a reason dear.

SirHouloo:
Pride, simple!

hmmm.....

Davotee:
hmmmm. Questian 4 da gods. Anyways very soon we wld knw nd y did u say 'lets roll maturely pls?' @ op. Abi u dey fear? Ur scared of uzeless coments frm space bookers abi?

ur head dey there.

malaria:
Not all ladies though, I dnt pick up my calls when the caller in question doesn't talk reasonably or calls at wrong time. Some people sabi disturb sha. It could also be that the lady doesn't like the person calling her period

Not just strangers. Am talking about serious relationships majorly.

jigga40:
I came here to know why too......!

My brother the thing be as e get o.

I cann't just help but wonder why it is that most women, if not all, have this terrible habit of not picking their calls as and when required? Some relationships have broken because of this anomaly. A recent case which prompted my opening this thread is one that recently happened in my neighbourhood.

This particular contractor had travelled to Eket to finalize and secure a contract from an oil firm. As fate would have it, he forgot a log book which contained some vital details necessary to nail the said contract at home. Having arrived the premises of the company, he tried going through the quotations and other documents for the last time, only to realise something was amiss. He then tried calling the wife's line so she could quickly read out the details over the phone to him. Tried as he did, the call was not picked. This helpless man called his wife for more than 67 times in the space of 2 hours all to no avail!

The most painful thing about the whole scenario is that another contractor had to be given the job. As it were, the couple are enmeshed in serious marital distress. For the past two weeks the man has travelled to god-knows-where to revaluate things. And the wife is smarting real bad from her idiocy. Imagine what 36 million naira could have been used to achieve in that family! SMH.

The second incident among others which I may not be able to mention still haunts the mother till today even though it has been more than 7 years since the incident happened. A young graduate was travelling from Port Harcourt to Enugu when he got involved in a ghastly motor accident. On searching the victim's phonebook the mother's number was easily located. They tried contacting her severally; for more than 4 hours or so, all to no avail. The first aid he was given at a peripheral hospital had worn out, he needed to be rushed to a hospital with better facilities. Doing so demanded one's wallet to be up and doing, coupled with such specialist hospital being far away from the village. In such instance, mostly a family member is
needed to undertake such responsibility.

The said mum wasn't someone to pick calls from an unknown number. Coupled with her bad phone habit. The young man died before the girlfriend and others could locate him. The mother is still being haunted by that foolishness as I type this and never switches her phone off even when delivering seminar......The two incidents are just to keep it brief. Some men may be guilty of this but it's so rampant among the female folks. So women in the house, why are you people so fond of not picking your calls immediately? What's with the bad phone habit? Let's roll maturely plssssss.

Nna meen. Unu n'enye nsogbu oo. Lol.

500 naira for 1gig!! Tori olorun, even if na for only 2 hours e dey more reliable and gives you better speedy browsing against 20000 gb worth of data from that snail network called ''Hell tale'' abi na Airtel.

insidifyguru:
Sending a cover letter via mail can be basically in two forms:
1. Writing the cover letter as a message in the space provided by your email provider and sending or
2. Sending the cover letter as an attachment.

However, whichever means you decide to send your cover letter through, it should not be addressed the same way you would if you were writing with the conventional pen and paper. It is advisable that the cover letter be formatted like your CV (which of course will also be an accompanying document with your cover letter) when crafting it.

Sending your cover letter is usually the more appropriate means as it allows for a professional feel and you don't run the risk of everything you've typed being jumbled together upon being received by the recruiter.

Hope this helps. #Insidify

P.S: you can drop your email address here to get a sample copy of a cover letter to better help you understand the above.

God bless you and Charix my brother. I cant believe how guys who were ignoring the thread earlier are dropping their email add left and right, lol. There's love in sharing sha. Pls send mine too via docslicky@gmail.com. Thanks.

96 views and just one reply! Come on you guys can do better than this na. ;DMore replies expected pls, thanks.

charix:
I do this anyway. It is the standard protocol of creating cover letters so doing it online or in real life does not a difference make .

I don't understand what you said you do. Please be more specific. Thanks for replying anyway

Pls fellow Nairalanders, what is the best way to address your letter when applying for a job online? Does one first of all write out the two addresses (that of the job seeker and the employer) before the dear sir and the body of the letter or does one simply write out the application and route it to the recruiter's email address without following those conventional steps of formal letter writing? N.B: I know that Dear Sir or Dear recruiter at the beginning is alright coupled with yours faithfully at the end as obtains, but the issue of writing the addresses is what I want clarified since the applicant's email address and the recruiter's are already there. Your mature replies and other necessary things to note are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
