AutoManual: I went to driving school today and meant with the guys there. I told them I want to learn manual. Even when some of them was telling me manual is fading out that majority of people are preferring to learn auto and they said some people who learn manual also came back to learn auto.
My reason was that if I can learn manual I can learn automatic, because I have heard that from people, I choose 5 days learning and they said 30minus & 1 hour has different prices, but I choose the 5 days 30 minutes, although I bargain the price. I filled the form and the driving session started.
Few minutes that we started I already giving up, I feel like not learning again. My concentration was not even there it was tidius to remember all this I need to do. Because I was forgetting all the things the guy told me before we started.
Here are my problem. 1. Understanding the pendel. Little press the car if jecking. When I applied brake it stop sudden and the vehicle will off abruptly. 2. Losing focus and what to do when I'm tens specially when I am approaching junction or a big car. 3. I am more concerned with the cars at my back or around me because I was moving slowly. The guy keep telling me to forget about them and focus on my side. Is document I filled said I will be the one to pay for damages incurred during the session. 3, knowing how and when to change the gear. I haven't mastered it and I feel it's too hard with the calculations. When I was filling the form there was some disclaimer on the document that I will be held responsible for any damages. I also learnt that the break is sometimes press. It was then I understand that the guy can press the brake from his own side of the car. Although I didn't tell him but I know.
Handling the wheel. To make a turn accurately on the road or control the wheel is really off.
Look like driving is really hard with manual
I was saving and planing to buy a Nigeria use car and I was focusing on manual because I heard people saying it easy to maintain but right now with the look of things I don't think I can buy manual again oh.
The two things I thought today while on the wheel is to buy auto and a small car.
Tomorrow I will go there again to learn and keep this thread updated.
You made a great choice of learning with a manual. Hang in there. It will only get better
Geesanni: Just dey play ,dey play.u neva ready to settle down.....once upon a time if a lady wear trouser,she is a core girl but later it is now accepted. The guy mom has refused to move with modernisation. She is still left in 60's
Why do you advise settling down when having a baby mama is now acceptable? Also, would you accept gay marriage because it suddenly becomes acceptable? Africans, always quick to discredit their ways for some BS they see on TV
Your mum that carried you from -9 months till you were able to fend for yourself. The person who could not sleep on those cold nights you were down. What has she done to deserve this distrust?
Personally, once my parents rejects my relationship with any lady, c'est fini. Whether she be Agbani Darego or Bill gates daughter, she dey waka.
If it's your daughter that behaves like your daughter in-law, will you treat her the same way? You heard from outside what she tells people. Did you confront her and try to correct her?
Madam, you made you choice. Don't put the blame on your Pastor.
Brandiebird: About 2 years ago, I warned my boyfriend about a girl; his childhood friend, that regularly calls him. I asked him to stop the regular conversation with her which he said he would do then. After some time I noticed he stylishly brings up unconnected and irrelevant issues about the girl regularly when we talk. Issues like how he is counselling the girl on relationship matter. My boyfriend asked this girl out way back in university days which is the more reason I got angry about everything.
For some time, I just pretend every time he raises those topics about the girl but to my greatest surprise, my boyfriend used this girl’s picture as status update on her birthday. I can't believe that after I almost broke up with him over this topic two years ago, he was still bold to display her on his status for me to see.
Though I am not sure anything is going on between them but I am thinking of ending the whole relationship because I am now convinced my boyfriend is in love with this girl since he was willing to take that risk of uploading her picture on his status when he knew I would see it or was he thinking I have forgotten about the girl?
Logically, I think the disrespect he gave me on this matter is just too much for me to let slide, I want to end the whole relationship but I need the thoughts and suggestions of men and women inhere to conclude if my action is too drastic, I have stopped picking his calls for 1 week now. 💔❤️🩹💔
Were they besties before he decided to ask her out? Cos I nor understand how guy man go ask babe out, she no gree, he go come turn am to bestie
Dailyparrot: I have to create this thread after reading through the topic on front page asking for jobs/professions that will make you not to marry someone.
So, I'm talking to this Unizik student that's studying medical radiography. Everything was going well. She even told me that she has told her mother about me and all. We met on Facebook and she's already asking to see me in person.
Until the day she found out that I use my car for Uber/Bolt business, everything changed. This girl stopped talking to me.
She has never been to Lagos and does not know how Uber works. She was asking how much I earn in a day, and that hope the Uber is not like their normal school cab that charge 100 naira per person, bla bla bla.
Well, I just don't want to let her know my net worth. I don't do Uber full time. I work on Fiverr and because sales dropped there, I decided to use Uber to make up for the income. I also do academic research for foreign students. Etc. I am into a lot of stuffs that fetch me nothing less than 400k a month so I don't think I should be regarded poor.
My house in the East is at roofing level. I am almost completing the payment of 4.5 million for a land I'm purchasing at Mowe, I own my car plus another Sienna I bought when Fiverr was booming.
I have a masters degree. So, should a girl reject me because I use my car to drive on Uber?
I am just laughing at her ignorance. The other time, we were talking and I jokingly asked her why she's putting on make up, and she was like, so she can find better suitors.
I thence assume I am not a better suitor because to her, I'm poor. This is someone earning 8k per month in the school that she was teaching during ASUU strike.
I wonder why women are impatient when it comes to taking decisions and that's why most of them regret later.
I am supposing being a medical student makes this girl think she deserves someone better than just a cab driver.
GentlePEACE: You are right, what about his feelings of deceit. How can she hide such from him
I remember my wife telling me a top secret even before she visited me for the first time, so there was no ish when i discovered myself. Trust is very key in a marriage
Deeprooted: After getting the job,he was posted to one northern state where he met the lady from the south west.
In less than 6 months, he told me someone wanted to say Hi to me when he called. I heard a lady's voice. He later introduced her to me as his fiancee.
Long story short. We went for wedding and all.
At the point of delivery which the doctor insisted on her having CS due to her medical condition, my brother insisted the wife will deliver via push. It was then the doctor made known to my brother " oga you're talking as if you're not aware of your wife's health"
Omo!!! Na there my brother come say he no Sabi ooo. It was discovered she's indeed SS. I asked my brother before we went for all the marriage rites of they're compatible health wise an he answered affirmative.
After the discovery, my brother left the wife in the hospital but my dad and I insisted he gets back to her till after everything.
It was when was after the successful surgery my brother told me that his wife brought the test result from another lab, reason being that he was busy when they were supposed to go for the test together.
My brother's mind is made up on divorce.
What will you advise my brother to do?
What is your brother's genotype? If your brother is AA, then there is no risk that any of their children will be SS
Afro3: *UPDATE: How Former Skye Bank Chairman, Tunde Ayeni Encouraged Daughter’s Classmate To Commit Abortions, Other Inside Details Of Businessman’s Paternity Scandal*
The father of the kids should be arrested as well. How could he leave his seeds in a place that was unfavorable to him. It's fine if the mum decides to stay single till the kids are grown. But the moment she begins to mess with other dudes and the kids can defend themselves, they becomes endangered species
siofra: God! I love this man so much for this. He's one of the last brave ones we still have in this world.
He knows what true love is and I respect that.
Such a supportive man. God bless you, sir.
Modified;
It seems my post is annoying some people, well, they can die for all I care.
I see topics all the time on front page telling a woman not to leave her husband just because he cheated on her.
But here I am praising a man for being brave enough not to divorce his wife for cheating and they are coming for me like I'm the devil?
Fūck all of you insulting me, what's good for the goose, is good for the gander.
I pray your son is just as brave as her husband. So the police department are also cowards for having her ass fired. We the association of spineless cowards rebuke your Idea of bravery
rippa: As a man, when I'm age 33 to 35 and I'm ready for marriage, i will look for a girl of age 21 to 23 Evening newspapers (ENP) are only good for dating Stop lowering your standard as a man because women can't do the same
I very much agree. A friend who is about 35 recently proposed to a lady that is 31. Sad thing is the lady doesn't have a job neither has she obtained her B.sc or HND. I have tried to talk him off the idea but nigger is really determined to carry on with the engagement. If she had a good job and necessary academic qualifications then it won't be such a big deal
Dogalmighty17: It is too early in 2023 to be a fool! If you were my son, I'll kill you myself. What rubbish! I hate weakness!!
Tell her you will have her and anyone who does that abortion for her arrested. But on the other hand, let her abort the baby. Such women are not good to be mothers. You need to cut her off permanently! You are a disgrace to the mother who gave birth to you.
Banilla: Mods, take this to the front page. Thank you.
Hi everyone! I have a boyfriend, we've been together for a year. I absolutely love him, he's my whole world! And that's the reason I'm pressuring him to save, if we're going to have a future together. And he's down for it, he makes nothing less than 200k monthly. I'm still a student, searching for a decent job. I can't invest sh** presently but I hope to start soon. Yesterday, I brought it up. I want him to send money monthly to my bank account, no matter how little. I'll save it for him. He's hesitating. He said I should be patient, he'll give me everything I need but he wants more time. I don't want to ruin our relationship but I need his co-operation. I'm scared he might leave me, after I've given him the best years of my life. I subtly threatened him that my family would force me to marry a Nigerian but he made a joke out of it, saying I would never, that I'm his...
What should I do?
NB: I've never taken a dime from him. He drinks often and I don't want him spending 'our future' on alcohol! I'm way better at saving.
I'm worried if I press the subject, he'll get mad at me.
I also told him I want to leave Nigeria, he thinks it's a good idea and I also told him I can't afford it alone. He said he needs time.
Doesn't he love me? Should I let it go? Or insist we resolve this?
Never dictate to a man how to spend his hard earned money. Not even if he is your Son. This your request comes off as though you are only interested in his money, which is a big Red Flag
spice123: My brother, I hardly comment on issues on this simply because of wrong perception but I will share my own experience. My wife chats with her ex from time to time which I am fully aware right from the time we started dating till we married (her ex is married now). I've equally had a WhatsApp call with the guy in one or two occasions (friendly talk). I've come to build some rapour with him. When this guy came to Naija I and my lovely wife went together to visit him. You see eh, everything in marriage is maturity. As it is we're planning vacation to the States sponsored by this guy. I'm a PROUD SIMP but I'm still in control. With the way you're going with full blown Alpha male attitude, you will loose your wife. Thread carefully!
Honestmoney: Just wondering what the feeling is like ? I have a married neighbour of mine who is such much into me. About to give in to her, thought of getting advice here .
