mattyqueen: Av tld him dat am nt bt he is bent n me, he said he wants 2 wait bt he is under pressure to get married dz year.

He's under presssure, huh? i hope you realize that you stop being a responsibility of parents once you get married. He is a corp menber, how does he intend to get the money to send you to school? By saving his allawee? Okay.
I hope he doesn't turn around later and start calling you a liability.

This is not about your age, it is about the things involved- you being in school and maintaining a home. He's ready but you are not, that's a huge problem.
Btw, how do you address the guy? Like your elder brother, i guess. Why would you be scared to take a stand that is good for you? Face him and make him see reasons you can't get married now. You sound like you don't want to lose this guy but i still advice you use your head.

To stop drinking everyday.
but just twice a year...



when it's my birthday and when it's not.

Shine your eyes.
Gone are the days when if a guy has met your people, it means he is serious.
I know a couple of guys who has introduced quite a number of ladies to their people. It could be a way of getting between your legs.
Men will always be men - Wiser and smarter.

Wait, You don't know how to tell him you are not ready for marriage? Why? If you are not ready for marriage, do not go into it Ma.


And the guy could be serious o.

There are still dark-skinned ladies in Nigeria but i must admit the rate at which ladies bleach their skin these days is alarming. I met some secondary school friends of mine and i couidn't believe my eyes-they were brighter than their future.

Anyway, I am dark and I love it.

Vector vs Reminisce.

Where i come from they draw gun in ------, if your men draw gun they must be skilled with pencils.
I'm the rave of the moment, you are in the grave at the moment.


I think Reminisce is just a noise maker. He's no match for VEC.

Yes.

Happily and comfortably single.

My fashion designing skill is now near-perfect.

No lecturer was sacked#fact.
New ones were added to the ones on ground, the recruitment process started around July for teaching and non-teaching staff and it was placed on the school's website-it is still there + the orientation took place on 3rd and 4th December not 25th of November.

I love you.
Reply: the feeling is mutual.

Present ma.

agrovick: Oluafolabi, looks like we ar both in the same shoes my confidence level soared with the use of glasses. I started using glasses in 2010, strange thing is I never knew I was shortsighted until I failed my eye test during medicals @ the university of Ibadan. The nicknames do not bother me cos I knw my friends are only catching fun @ my expense (blind bartholomew, oju igo, oju irin). My only problem with glasses has to do with my peripheral vision, I always need to turn sideways If I want to view objects that ar beside me

i have never met anyone with the same issue as you-the side vision stuff.

oluafolabi: Lol! I'm surprised at the folks that became self conscious or shy as a result of using glasses. It had an opposite effect on me though, it boosted my confidence and with brains to go with it made me a total nerd.

I have been using glasses for like 9 years now, was diagnosed of myopia when I was in Pry.5. The nicknames came too 'Oju-igo' and co, but they never really stuck or bothered me.

By the way, had moments I really wish I didn't use it though, like when I sleep off with my glasses on and end up breaking it or in the rain when I can't remove it because I won't see clearly even though it is wet and similar situations like that. But despite these odds, I think I have adapted to it, more like accepted it.

There was a time I considered contact lenses but my doc advised me against it because it had a higher risk factor of getting infected. Do you mean to say that contact lenses are less risky now? Should I start considering it as an option again over the glasses?

Nice thread BTW.

. If your doctor said it is risky, you should listen to him. At a point, i was so desperate to get rid of my glasses but my doctor advised against it and i have not brush the topic since then. My looks with the glassses, people say it makes me look serious. Sometimes i try walking on the street without wearing it -i'll still take it with me- but that means i don't get to see anyone greeting me from a distance except it's someone whose voice i know well,i just wave in that direction.

Debbybounty: Am also short sighted O°˚˚˚ ,am xoo tayad of wearin glasses,hav bin usin since 2007 nd last tyme i checked ‎​maii lens was lik -5, ‎​ fink he said smth lik he gave ♍ a cylinder instead of normal lens....nt 2 sure of dat shaa.....buh d lens thickk gan shaa.......buhh lately ‎​ av reli watery eyes,its lik smth is inside buh nofin is cumin outt,tried diff methods,even usinn eyedrop....plsss anibdyy wif similar issue shld pls sharee.

u shud c an optometrist,so it doesn't get worse.

metroeyesnig: 5 and 7.5 are quite high powers and indicate the cylinders are weak. However, you do not necessarily get the best advice until you go for an eye exam.

Even wearing contact lenses is supposed to be on Doctor's advice as people who have allergies or high IOP are advised against it.

. My point exactly. my doctor once advised me against it .

Jimbadly: You should try contact lens. I used to feel embarassed when people asked me why I still wear my glasses at night until I got meself a pair of contact lens. I used to look nerdy in my pair of spectacles, but not anymore. The contacts have dramatically changed my life. For the past 2 years I have never worn spectacles outdoors, I just put on my contacts and nobody can ever tell I have a visual aid. It has made life much easier for me, made me more confident and less self-conscious. It has a lot of advantages; 1. Very convenient 2. No need to wipe anything once you have them on 3. You can have them on even when it's raining. 4. When you put on the colourless type, nobody will know you have anything on your eye. etc. In my opinion it is much better than wearing spectacles.

However, you need to be extremely careful when using one. Read all about it before you decide to buy it. The most important thing about using contact lens is that you must wash your hands with mild soap before putting it on, and before removing it from your eyes. This is to prevent the chances of transferring germs and pathogens to your eyes. The effect of germs to your eyes can be devastating.

There are many types of contact lenses, there are extended wear contact lenses you can wear for many days even when sleeping. There are daily disposables you can wear during the day and throw them away at night and put on fresh ones the next day, they are the safest. I make use of the one that can last for 3 - 6 months. I use them during the day, remove them at night and soak them in contact lens solution. You should never wear them when sleeping, even extended wear types, because your eyes need oxygen at night. The soft gel types should be handled with care cos they are not as tough as rubber.

N.B: Your first few weeks of using one can be a little bit difficult until you get used to it.

"WOW, WOW, WOW! I've never given it a thought. I only think about the side effects and it freaks me out. How much does it cost?

Gboliwe: What does the measurement 5 and 7.5 represent? Which is better?

it depends on how serious the problem is. A friend mine uses -4.00, if I use it, my vision will be clear but not as it would be with my own. And if use anything higher than than, my eyes will ache. The reason people with perfect eyes sight complain whenever they wear someone else's glasses is because their retinas do not need help.

Emmyk: Am I allowed here? Just to peep; no eye problem. I have friends with this problem, it that counts.

grab a seat, u r welcome.

Obinnau: 6 to 8 months. but that depends on how fast it broke o or scratch

you are careless with it,i guess.
I'm not any better though,i've broken two -the very first I got and the one I used before this. .

Obinnau: same with me o. at times I just skip the questions.

so,how often do you change your glasses?

Same here. People stare at me especially at night. Some even go as far as asking why I still have it on at night . But with time, I started making jokes about it such that the person who tries to insult me ends up being embarrassed.

Share your experience ; how it started, the embarrassments, the challenges you faced and how you overcame them. there are cases of people who were teased, some were even nicknamed.
I'll go first. I am shortsighted and i've been using glasses since 2005. The specification of my 'current ' glasses is -5.00.
