njokusboy: Well, dat is a rational way to look at it.. But one of the fallacy of most economic theories is dat humans are not always rational neither is love... It is not true that we consider the value or how logical an action is before we take them.. Sometimes we just do things out of emotions, there aint nothing wrong with it, its not neccesarily true you have to take your friends to a bar or club and waste your money on several crates of beer or wine just to prove to them that you appreciate them but then it makes them happy and it makes you happy too and that is what counts especially if its your birthday...
Engagement rings may have less worth as compared to their intrinsic value, matter of fact, it may not even be a guarantee that the girl would not wander off but it serves as a statement of intentions, I mean , its lyk telling her that, "look, I know it makes no sense buying this thing for this ridiculous amount of money but I did it for you not on the basis of the worth of this ring but in consideration of your worth to me... The girl now has the choice of sticking to you before your marriage in appreciation of your effort or wandering off with someone else, if she wanders off with someone else, no wahala, life goes on.. There are no guarantees in life, we just take risks and hope it pays off, she can return the ring if she aint interested and you can sell it off if you like....
As per whether it is a proof of love, it may not be but then it serves as physical evidence, a man would not buy an expensive engagement ring for a lady because he wants to have some fun, its better to buy her one and run the risk than keep her guessing.. She knows you love her but you need to prove it, not just by word of mouth but by actions... Words only whisper, actions scream....

u said it all my dear; D heart has its Reasons that no reason knows of, Trying to find a logical reason y pple spend 50k in a club for a drink of 20k outside d club, or spend ridiculous amounts off money on d dedication of a child who couldn't care less.. its to make themselves n pp around them happy

Besides there is a fufilment a guy gets when he uts a ring on d finger of d lady he wants to wife, just as d lady who receives it gets some kind of fufilment; Bsides any man who begins to consider d historical, philosohical nd Economical reasons why he shld buy or not buy a ring is really not in love

Nd whoever said diamonds are not an investment hello?? Where do u live d zoo? Diamonds are forever and perhas by dis tym in 60yrs. To come my daughter will sell off that rock for 3rice d amount it was bought

Even at that, I will not him investing N7 million for the MBA only for him to come back and start looking for job in Nigeria. What is the essence of the MBA, if he can not use the knowledge acquired to create jobs.

I don't it either but d truth is dt such ivyleague biz schls at times offer opportunities a normal schl won't give, their Alumni try to aid their new ones to find their ground, I know HBS is a land of connections buh still if he is coming back to nigeria I also don't fink its wise to spend dt kinda money on MBA n cm bback to look for Jobs where he can create Jobs wit dt amt

Then he shld forget abt ivyleague schl n go to a normal good one n invest d remainder of his money... Unlike abroad Nigerians aren't dt crazy abt ivyleague schls, all reasonable top universities abroad(in d rankings) are considerd alm equally by them (unless he is going to HBS)... His foreign degree will def help in his marketability buh Nigerians employers are not dt crazy abt foreign masters as they once were (I know a lot of them who are still searching) so if he has no serios connections he might be jobless for smtime b4 finding a fitting job, so he shld invest sm money...

Reading d original post now he shld go ahead to spend d 7milla on d ivyleague schl dt tickles his fancy, he has at least other investments and money to fall back on if d labour market tries to frustrate him

What is ur bizness wit women over 30 getting married or not getting married?? You are u married? Are u not over 30?? U'll not find sth reasonable to do with ur life n time, u n ur olofofo colleagues sit down dey discuss Women that are not married.. I wonder what kind of job it is u pple are doing? U pple will not discuss biz ideas dt will move u forward, is rubbish... Dts how u know small minds that will never go far

Biko don't block my View with dis kain post again oo... N to ans ur question yes I must comment cos I feel d need to tell all u useless olofofos to mind ur bizness, n leave women to live their lives.. Hian!

Boll2010: come on!! This is what we talking about! From your talks you don't have anything to offer a man but your hotness! Cuz you lack manners! How do you feel as a lady when you insulted his Mother as useless!.......how will you feel when you give birth to a male,and a junk girl call you useless!! Now I see the op is goldiggerz!!

Insult his Mother no, he did that all by Himself, He already called all Nigerian girls/females worthless n Useless, I was merely helping him to qualify d Naija females he is talking abt... But I guess u didn't see dt part of his post, oh wat I'm I talking abt I forgot dis is Nairaland, ofcourse u saw his post, u like d othher silly posters calling me out buh u conveniently ignored it n ed lyk such a post doesn't exist on seeing my reply ur heightened sense of morality n what is Right wldnt jst let u read it n , u felt d need to correct me on hw wrong it is... Well if u like d OP don't hv a problem calling ur sisters n mothers, Worthless n useless, I certainly hv a problem being called that...

It didn't take d Idiotic guy any time to begin to defend his sister n Mother... I wonder wether wen u guys make such silly n dumb generalizations, u count ur sisters n Mothers out, its now Other pple's sisters dt u re talking abt abi...
N for u MR Boll2010 better nt quote me again if ur Biased eyes will not let u read a post b4 reading d reply

Sissie: To remove black spots on the body, press the back of orange peel directly on the spot.

Does the above really work, I hv some spots I hv to kill buh its on my face though

Of course D Males hv carefully Made it look like d OP ws only talking abt money, they have left the content/Essence of what the op was trying to convey to restrict it to his e.g wit 100k, n of course turn it into aanother female bashing thread lolz... ITs very Funny but while u keep venting ur Frustrations at d OP for saying the truth, THE RULES OF THE GAME WILL NOT CHANGE Whine all u like online, Hate the players all u like, It won't change d game.


@DailyNews WellDone! its unfortunate Ur comrade in Arms will not this Tym buh that's to b expected u dared to say d un-say-able.

Kennedyiheme: Op, this is why nigeria won't move forward, its only in nigeria pple say rubbish, okay a dude doesn't ve upto 100k in his , so u can't date him or he isn't ur type? That's why I like americans, everybdy is equal, most of all y'all ladies, all you do do is to open ur legs for the money then you disguise into being naomi campell the super model. Nigerian girls are worthless,them fine bt all of them useless, they don't worth a dime. You are looking for dangote, blive me if u get a man as richh as dangote, u will get frustrated because he would go after prettier ladies dan u...*yimu...beta be contented wit wht u hve, and stop looking for mike adenuga

Only Ur Sisters, Mother and all the Female of ur Family Are Worthless and Useless. BROKE A$S Fool! they shldnt look for the likes of dangote they shld look for Barrow pushers like U, the ones they won't get frustrated wit

Also for smooth lips, brush ur lips with ur toothbrush while brushing, it exfoliates d lips n leaves it smooth n its easy to carry out... No stress


Others reading the thread who hv some Useful natural remedies/tips should also contribute

Happy sunday to all of ya

Hahahah OP your Title is contradictory on its own... If Evil confirms D absence OF God it also follows that Good Confirms his presence, since there is both evil n Good on earth, that means God exists and does not exist, does that make sense to u? Actually Evil CONFIRMS D PRESENCE OF D CREATOR, since d Creator created whatever is in existence both Good n Evil as we Humans call it


Secondly as Deepsight has rightly pointed out, What Makes u Believe that D creator Subscribes to whatever Notion of Good n Evil we humans subscribe to, the person who gave an example wit Rape, Of course as Human u won't allow A girl to b Raped cos u can't see beyond ur nose, U can't see Beyond d Immediate hurt, Fortunately D creator can, He doesn't see d Rape as Evil, he sees it as a stepping stone necessary for the Woman to Achieve Greatness, He won't prevent it, because without that Essential ingredient (rape) D gr8t Woman in d young girl will not manifest. We do not know D reason Y D creator does what he does, For all we know d creator created d Earth or d Entire world in general to simply Amuse himself


It is Folly for FINITE BEINGS to try to comprehend an INFINITE BEING, it is Even extreme Folly to assume to judge d CReator based on human considerations of Morality. "Good n Evil" which is even relative among humans

emmanuel ewumi:



This question was actually ask by someone on another forum.

Even if its not frm a Nigerian schl, U wont spend up to 7milla on a normal Biz schl in d Uk/abroad unless u re going for d top well known biz schls. Its usually btw 3-5 milla

As to ur question 7milla is just too much to acquire an MBA with, esp if u re coming back to Nig to strt biz/work. D person shld go to a normally reasonable biz school, all those top schls are jst Names and invest d remainder in a somewhat risk free investment like Bonds, when he is done wit his MBA n comes back he'll have sth to strt up sth on his own if d labour mkt fails him or he isnt interested in ing d labour mkt.

If he isnt interested in coming back to dis country to wrk tho, he can spend it all on his MBA

As in Eeh His talents no b here oo , he shld be winning awards if he decides to utilize it

jp philips:

you seriously believe that 80% you wrote up there?
well, my advice to you is to tell your sister who may likely not be fortunate to "roll" with sissies like you that assaulting a man in his own home is an act of war.
do you even know how much your wife expects you to stand up for her in the face of oppression? and here you are giving her the impression that she as an aggressor is safe.
it is upto everyman to design the rules of engagement in his home, it is the duty of a man to protect his family from both internal and external aggression, where you cannot, you have failed in your primary responsibility as a man.
it is only an over fed bird that challenges his god to a duel.

Real Men who wldnt beat up their wives because she gave them a slap as u advocate are now 'sissies' lol... to u aggression is strenght? If dt is d def of a sissy lord pls giv me d grace n wisdom to raise more sissies

i wasnt giving any 'her' any impression i ws simply telling d guy who said most comments abt playing calm arent real that they are more real than d ones saying i will tie her up n beat her

As for ur scenario i ws merely trying to point out to u dt it hs no happy ending as u seem to imagine, it doesnt end d way u write it pls be real(life aint Hollywood or some romance novel)... U fink all those men who finally killd their wives set out to do so, d moment u decide to retaliate in kind, be ready to take anything u see, or u fink she'll just sit down there n meekly receive ur beatings lols, wat if she drawz a weapon? Or u fink beating her up makes her get d point as opposd to walking away, calming down, talking over her reasons n giving her a stern warning never to try that again, that she'll never try to giv u a slap again, well dt is wat most men who beat up their wives for verbal abuse believs guess what it doesnt stop them frm doing it again

D op has done d reasonable thing i believe. Please do continue to formulate rules of Engagement b/w u n ur wife, n keep saving ur family frm 'internal aggression' with more aggression dt might be d only problem-solving mechanism u hv learnt buh please do not imagine most men will do the same


@troy20 i wldnt try that, i dont subscribe to violence in any form but lyk i told d op, d she must hv been habouring sm resentment, dt lil thing cant just lead to a slap or she is preggers, they do tend to b irrational, dt doesnt mak it right. Pple's dvice to d op is nw d deed is done, wat is d best move to make, n Majority of men here hv proven themselves wise, dont go saying they arent real jst because u wont do d same

kennytidistar:

no problem with understanding, your first paragraph betrayed the whole post, look at it critically.

Betrayd ke? Dt is wat happens wen u read wit a view of seeing a particular thing or wen u read a post out of context. did u read d post of d guy i quoted? d guy as many others b4 him said 5k was a 'huge amt' of money n repeatedly said it, dt ws y i quoted it cos i found it bothersome for them to overblow d imp of 5k wch ordinarily is nuffin in dis case. my post nowhere implied dt it is either right or wrong to place d gf on any salary as u so rightly assumed, u jst saw d 5k ish n interpreted my post in a direction u assumd i ws going, my advice to d op is actually in d second para wch i am sure u didnt bother to read b4 u jumped in wit ur retort... I dont know u or where u live buh 5k is nt a huge amount of money, it cant even take a person out, or make a hair comfortably in Nig, take it anywhere u want to

I only bothered to reply u because obviously after rereading my post (if u even did that) ur mental setting dt my post ws somehw saying d op shld giv d girl even more still clouded ur ability to understand simple English n still u re tellin me d writer dt if i read it critically dt dt is wat it means,


Next tym wen u want to quote me dont imply things in my post n begin to reply to them, cos i wldnt even giv u d honour of a reply.

jp philips: @op
if she actually paid for the food, then she is your madam at the moment, going to her pot can be termed "tresing" so you deserve the slap.
when you make it, then retaliate accordingly.
conversely, if you actually paid for the food and she slaps you on the premise you explained, make sure you slap her in a manner that will throw her to the floor, if the slap doesn't deliver, push her down to the floor, while on the ground, pour the food on her (if it is not hot), lock the kitchen door, go to your room and fetch your belt,

with the buckle head, flog till she begs for her life, ensure that each stroke carries an indelible mark, when you are tired, hug her, kiss her, take her to the shower, clean her up and fvck her like you ve never done before.
once you come, just whisper in her ear "nobody has the monopoly of violence" and smile.

the next day, buy her an expensive gift wih a pink flowered lingerie to match and never talk about that incident forever.

she will never try it again even in death.

U mst be dating a masochist or u re a sadist or both or too much American masochist movies hv corrupted ur mind

nw lemme paint d real pic of hw it ends, u slap her n perhaps she faints or if she doesnt, u pour d hot food on her n she automatically begins to shout n roll uncontrollably on d floor n her skin begins to peel b4 ur very eyes, u either run away or u rush her to d hospital, or if d food is nt hot as u advocate, u fink she'll meekly stay on d floor n wait for u to lock d kitchen n bring a belt n come back, she'll run out screaming u must kill me today oo, or even go to d streets if na werey n bgin shout, if u do succeed in doing all d above, u bliv she'll leave u to kiss her, caress her carry her to d bathroom bla bla bla lol sorry ur story ends here, its only gonna b followd by months of malice n taunts as to hw u re a weak man who only has power wen it comes to his wife n ofcourse depending on d woman starvation of sex on medical grounds of course, as d doctor will pescribe she stays away frm such sexual activities to give her injuries time to heal... its nt a novel bro its real life n please do nt try d contents of those sadist novels at home, unless of course madam enjoys it

troy20:
you were picking the young guy on the immaturity of his comment but its strange that maturity too isnt requested of a wife.or what do you measure maturity with? Well dont ever try your luck slaping a man.most comments here about playing it calm arnt real.

u fink they are nt real because u blieve everyone is like u; truthfully i dunno d kinda circles u move in buh frm where I come 80% of men will simply walk away to cool off, ignore her for smtym perhaps b4 warning her sternly never to try such sh.t, or will simply restrain her b4 d slap ever gets to their face... So d comments abt playing calm are more real to me actually than d ones of tying her up n beating her; but heck dis na naija everybody hs gat d way they roll; if playing calm is nt ur style don't assume most pple dont play calm
