Neither gender can prosper withought proper marriage. pro01: To clarify, both parties within the marriage will benefit most when it's done properly. I absolutely accept that marriage is not necessarily for all and one can live a fulfilled life before or without marriage. Having said that, I do believe marriage is and should remain the norm. Very few should opt for singlehood or celibacy. For mature individuals, there should be just cause for not marrying. |
Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by Sagamite(m): 1:32pm On Mar 02, 2012 |
TV01: No! Even when done properly, a woman would still benefit more. Unions are of more value to a woman that it is to a man. Both parties would benefit but woman would benefit more. Lets call a spade a spade even if it offends some women that like not to hear the truth. Furthermore, lack of marriage does not necessarily imply singlehood and celibacy. Companionship and sex can be obtained outside marriage. Not like if I know anything about that, I just heard it through the grapevine. ![]() |

TV, I have to say: You do struggle with logical thought. lol! true dude, but not at this level. You are the one postulating the debilitating effect of the law and the numbers of "not fit for purpose" women. I am merely saying no matter how damaging the law, if you can find just the one woman who you can align with, then marriage is still viable and remains the best option. How can you postulate 100% of women are bad? What kind of logic is that? If I believed that, I wouldn't be married. I was merely extrapolating your thinking. For how many months or years did you court before you married your wife? The actual decision was taken within 3 months after we met - I personally never spent longer than that "viewing". The wedding was 10 months later. I knew she could be the one when I first clapped eyes on her. Just needed to check, consider, consult and confirm. Yes, you can! I had my aspirations for marriage. My wife both accepted and met them. Neither of us was forced, neither of us was conned. The tone of honesty and transaparent communication was set from day one. Unilaterally dictating your rules does not mean the marriage will be happy or successful even if you find someonme to accept. In lieu of you dedicating your life to some worthy humanitarian purpose - and even that does not necessarily preclude marriage - you will prove your manliness by successfully marrying and raising a family ![]() An agreement that is not legally binding is faith. Faith is wishful thinking as you have no control. It's trust and I have control over my side. Your due diligence was done after ONE date. My audience is not primarily the women. I'm not here to build a constituency nor a fanbase. Not for favour or applause. Accolades or awards. "No divorce. We took vows. I simply can't see it.". Fck me LAWD! Triple fck me LAWD! So those that divorce did not take vows. That is the protection that guarantees you? Mate, you are not a logical person. WISHFUL THINKING! That is what your whole philosophy is based on. You no fit 'show me the practicals'. Your fear is not divorce, it's the consequences of divorce. I don't share that fear. And I appreciate the fulfilment and blessing within a happy marriage. My position remains. Marriage is the best option and the norm. And the way to go if you can find someone who shares your values. Whatever part the law plays can be kept to a minimum. neither will you ever be able to legally construct a perfect marriage or remove the downside. You yet have all to play for sir. Best TV |

Sagamite: Done properly, both parties are better off married. Not only them, but their offspring and society at large. "Singlehood" does not preclude "companionship", it simply means "not married". Celibacy is another kettle of fish and demanded by the worldviews of some. Unlike "innocentee" here, I have had it all ways and reccommend marriage ![]() Best TV |
Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by Sagamite(m): 2:34pm On Mar 02, 2012 |
TV01: And there was absolutely no time I said one cannot find one woman that is right or marriage is not viable. Guess who brought those up when they were not even a point of debate. TV01: Well, your extrapolation had no logic behind it. TV01: Wow! You did your due diligence in 3-10 months and came to the conclusion you know what your wife would do in 10, 15, 20, 25 years time? You must be fcking kidding me. And you say you are not living on faith? ![]() ![]() TV01: And you think because your wife accepted and met your aspirations and you did not force them or con her that guarantees your marriage would be happy and successful? I am assuming by default you are smart enough to say "No". So what was your point with these statements? TV01: You have no control. Faith is not control, it is purely hope! TV01: I am sure you are not, subconsciously. But a lot of your arguments have no comprehensive logic and are of the populist genre normally batted around and upheld by those that do not critically evaluate the platitudes the populists through about. TV01: If you live in the West, you are married or want to get married, you have no prenup and you say you are not worried about the effects of divorce despite the realities and stories widely and publicly available, then you are one of the following: 1) Just an individual burying his head in the sand and would not listen to any logic and would rather live in lululand. 2) An individual that approves of the divorce laws and is willing to abide by it. 3) Just purely ignorant. 4) You don't expect to be worth much, so what da fck, she aint gonna have anything to milk. TV01: I know, on average, it is the woman that wants companionship more, it is the woman that mostly would struggle to find the type of companionship they want, and it is the woman that has the shortest window for finding companionship, it is the woman that will struggle to find new companionship if the one they have fails. Hence women benefit more from stable marriages. Men benefit immensely too but not as much as women. So you should know many men would opt for singlehood. They have been doing it from time and even more nowadays. The women tend to attack them for wanting to be single. Words like "irresponsible", "immature", "selfish" etc are thrown their way. Real men heed to such words. And I can confidently say a lot of married guys I know marry because the girl is pressuring them for marriage, not because they are ready, or in some worse cases, not because they are completely besotted by her. Come to think of it, some of these girls marry these guys purely based on the fact that "he is good enough, he will do". Fck Lawd! Not in my life would I put my life in such a way. Some worldviews might demand celibacy, but the point you made that marriage should remain the norm because very few would opt for celibacy is irrelevant when people can choose not to be in marriage and still not be celibate. |

Sagamite:So what are you hanging around for? Find her and get viable ![]() Sagamite:1. More like 2 to be honest ![]() 2. Who knows tomorrow? Do you know if you'll be here tomorrow, let alone, 5, 10 , 15, 20 or 25 years time. 3. In as much as I could I ensured the commitment and compatibility were there to begin and we'll both continue to strive for it. 4. Whatever you believe, whatever your worldview, it's by faith you believe there'll be a tomorrow. Or what guarantee do you have from day to day? Sagamite:Prayed for it, planned for it and will continue to pave the way for it. I don't take it for granted. It will take some work. Not to keep it going, but to keep it sweet. So maybe I'm just thick, but happily married. Why are you so skeptical? There are happy and succesful marriages everywhere. Sagamite:Nope. I am reading from my own script. Critically evaluating and practically applying are two different things. I'm living it. I don't just believe, I have experienced. Sagamite:I am fully aware of the potential consequences of divorce. I also know how to build a strong marriage. Do winners overly concern themselves with losing? For all competitors, it's about preparing and executing, then finishing. A solid and well constructed marriage is blind to location and mostly oblivious to laws. A prenup goes against the very essence of marriage as I understand it. In turn; 1. Marriage in my experience is heaven, not lululand ![]() 2. I abide by all laws regardless. Very few of them will ever hinder me living the life I choose. 3. I spent 17 years learning about and preparing for marriage prior, and continue top do so. "Guru Marri-agE" ![]() 4. Worth is relative. When we met I was financially further along than my wife - obviously that all changed after I paid for the wedding ![]() I'll be happy to deliver the sermon on the day ![]() Best TV |

TV01: She should find me. Do you know how fine I am? Do you know what I am worth in the coupling market? ![]() TV01: All what you said does not disprove the fact that you are living on faith/hope/wishful thinking that your wife is right for you and she would not milk you in divorce. The only guarantees you have and you know is what you can/would do. You have no guarantee or know what she can/would do. That is more evident by the length of your courtship. I can safely say, you hardly know the person you married. You have no control if she decides to eff you up. Your future is basically in her hands if you live in the West. And there is no guarantee she would be nice if in future she decides she might want something else. That is not to say she might not be the nicest woman on Earth but I would still have a prenup with the nicest woman on Earth. I would have more reasonable control by signing a prenup. I strongly believe in risk management especially when I am the one that has something to lose and the other key decision maker has evrything to gain and nothing to lose. TV01: Not really. Majority are miserable or so-so. As I said, men and women have not evolved yet to adapt to the new relationship rebalancing of women being financially independent and sex being blasted at us left, right and centre by the decadent liberals. Relationship culture has not caught up and stabilised with the rapid change and it is currently in a turbulent flux. Divorce and break ups are the order of the day. I don't live in Fantasia, I live in Peckham. ![]() TV01: You are living it based on hope, just like most other people. There is no methodology and no guarantees. All you have said you did to get it, including the due diligence, is in no way inspiring, reassuring or protective. Hope might or might not fail you. It is just hope. TV01: This is another populist fanciful air that has no logic. Winners do concern themselves with losing. Stop barging the kind of junk evangelistic pastors throw about, that will not work a fraction of millimetre on me. TV01: More of your ecclesiastical platitudes. Blind = Hope Religion = Hope Hope = No guarantees Confidence in no guarantees = Wishful Thinking. You are proving me completely right. ![]() |

Look this is how I see it I wont beat around the bush, If this guy is worth over $500m Then I believe he should pay the $21m divorce payout! for the sake that she gave him 4 children The guy is lucky that this didn't happen in America and theirs no Pre-Nup signed, That lady would be smiling by now, The Company is Owned by the founder whether his village member contributed towards it or not, The Company started when he was married to this lady and not before he got married to the Brit! She was a full time house wife at the age of 49years which means she probably gave up her own career so that the man could pursue his, Look like I said if the man is worth close to half a billion then he should pay, I dont support the 50/50 split because if its the other way round the ex-husband wont get 50% I could remember Sean Penn only getting only $27m out of Madonna's wealth, Mel B's ex Husband only getting 800k pounds and one flat in North London out of 20m, This guy should be able to part with $21m 1 Like |

omar22: She gave him 4 children? Really? So why is she asking for custody of his kids then? Huh? More like he gave her 4 children. The company started when they married, and so? That means she has a contribution to it? For your information, she is a working mother. And she obviously did not have the capability to make anywhere close to the sum she is asking for. The man is capable of parting with $21m but he does not want to, so I don't think he should, it is his money. TV, what did I tell you about philosophical system and how it affects people's mentality?

The company started when they married, and so? That means she has a contribution to it? And why cant he part with $21m, she is not trying to be like Heather Mills who wanted between a third and half of Paul MaCarthy wealth or Tiger Wood's nanny that turned wife that later turned into gold digger who wanted a third of Tiger Wood's wealth, $21m in a billion common , in the spirit of fairness Roman Abramovich parted with £150m, a 767 plane, a flat in Grosvenor palace, a $72m Yatch and this was Roman's offer, So this Stingy Nigerian should pay joor!!! |
Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by Sagamite(m): 9:36pm On Mar 02, 2012 |
omar22: No 1, he can part with the money. He just chooses not to. No 2, read the story, she is like Heather Mills. She asked for half and was awarded $21m instead by the courts. No 3, she did not work for $21m and can not make $21m, so she is not worthy of $21m. No 4, if all those celebrities wish to part with the relative sums, good for them. Prest does not want to. He has given a figure he is willing to part with that is reasonably generous by her earning standards and potentials. That cannot be said to lack spirit of fairness in rational and logical thinking. No 5, you don't know what happened or happened in the relationship that resulted in him only wanting to part with that. There are rich people that have parted with huge sums because they think the wife is worth every cent. He has judged her worth is $2.5m of HIS wealth. A sum she is not capable of earning. No 6, don't call people stingy on how they spend their hard earned money. It is not your position to dictate how others expend their money except they are lunatically wasteful or come to loan money from you when they should be financially independent. Determine only how you spend your money. Open your mind to logical reasoning, not platitudes. |

Sheila Johnson helped her husband build BET. She helped finance and worked in it. She is perfectly entitled to the $400m she got from the divorce. And she has not proved it wrong as she is using it to build other businesses. That is someone capable of the money she rightfully asked for. She did not give daft excuses like "I got pregnant for him" raised by fucktards like queensmith and Kutey. She said this is what I did to directly build the business. Now she is building more. |

[b][size=16pt]So, this divorce wrangling is still being analysed? Oh please, we all should get a life now - make we leave it for the UK courts to decide, abi? In the end, we shall all see whether she's gonna go home with a $2. 5million divorce settlement or $21million, abi? However the matter ends, all we know is that, the courts here will administer justice and justice must be seen to be done in this 15yr marriage?

Secondly, I don't know how signing prenup presupposes that one would constantly be on the edge about divorce in marriage and one is not planning for success of the marriage.

You will have to do something different from the train wreck of the 95% (e.g. go to a top private school where they train you on Jamb) or just be lucky the topics you focused on and studied came out in 75% of questions. Nothing you have said you have done has proven you are doing something different. As a matter of fact, you are at the worst end of the spectrum based on saying you knew a woman after just ONE date (i.e. like someone in the spectrum going to Jakande Primary school, Jakande Secondary school, Jakande University).

Plus the second chap should have gotten a pre-booked, off-peak train ticket ![]() However they go - the risks are still present. Getting there late, not getting there at all, or not going anywhere ever again are still risks they both face. Traffic holdups, accidents, inclement weather, illness en-route, other rogue drivers, corrupt cops, terrorists, ad infinitum. I am not against mitigating risk and "exerting control", but the best laid plans. Nuff' said. Sagamite: So what then? Change will surely come - and for both of you. Some control? Institutional and individual interference in your home can be limited. Whilst I believe the law can be limited in its effect now, who knows what they'll be like in even the near future? I still hold that getting oneself right and finding the right person and then building a solid foundation is the way to go. Immediately you introduce the prenup, you are screaming "I don't trust you". Seeding a suspicious air that will never go away. You are saying "regardless of our vows" I have to look out for myself. Or will you present it as in her best interest? It's no guarantee and it at best weakens the foundation. No matter how you couch it, your insistence on prenups and the inevitable change by women (for the worse), has an air of cynicism and inevitability about it ![]() Sagamite: So let me get this right, you prepare for a successful marriage by first preparing for a successful divorce? Being a full-time mother is as worthy a choice as any. If the numbers work out and the circumstances are condusive, I'd love us to have that choice. Couples should discuss the merits and demerits and contingency around this option - if available - even before marriage. Don't marry a fool or someone you consider to be one. Sagamite: Neither has an absolute guarantee. Both are still subject to chance and extemporaneous factors outside their control. Sagamite: It doesn't necessarily have to be different, just better and more thorough. Apple have competition in every respect, but they go about it that much better. For the most part, I don't care what the women here think. For what it's worth, I consider most of them 95%ers (I will get away with that because, either 1. They will all consider themselves 5%ers or 2. They will form "even if I'm a 1%er sef, I no send TV ![]() True manliness is knowing that both genders and society are ultimately best served by harmonious non-abusive relationships and actively seeking to model, promote and effect them. Regardless of the forces that are arrayed against you. Jakande tried now ![]() Sagamite: No absolute guarantees. No risk free propositions. No total control. Accept that and work it like it's all or nothing. If you find someone before the end of the year, summer nuptials in 2013 would certainly be viable. Best TV Come, was that you I just saw on Rye lane haggling with one Indian shopkeeper like that over the price of puna yam? |

TV01: Yes, but you are still giving bad advice. You are saying people should not sign prenup. Is every man going to marry the 5%ers? Bad advice. TV01: My friend stop giving lame excuses. The train is as sure a guarantee as a car. Virtually always, most people taking car or train will get their under 4 hours. Anyone trying to hitch hike is a wishful thinker. He might make it in 6 hours, he might not. The latter (not making it) is far more likely, hence why people would not consider it. The risk are vastly different and the risk of the former (car/train) is well within acceptable range, hence why it is ignored. This is as silly as saying buying food from Tesco is risky because you don't know who or what could have contaminated it in the supply chain and using it to justify the risk of buying a ticket to go on a one month holiday of one-man Christian proselytizing in Helmand Province in Afganistan. Both has risk but one is of reasonable risk, guess which? Please know when your illogical arguments have been destroyed and stop trying to grasp at straws. TV01: You still have not given your methodology of control apart from wishful thinking. I am not a fan of the methodology of saying you know what a women would be or do from just one date. That is ridiculously lame and wishful thinking. If a woman sees my saying sign prenup means I don't trust you, then good luck to her. I hardly know any woman that would not say to her husband she does not trust him in certain situations but trained "real men" would never know that. A "real man" knows how to follow rules created by women but not followed or applicable to women. Note: I never said women would inevitably turn for the worse. Don't strawman me. TV01: Yep, I would discuss my risk management in case of divorce before marriage. Nothing wrong with that. Welcome to the real world, not bury your head in the sand world. Fck her concept of romance if she does not like it. We are talking about the core of my future happiness here. I am not a real man that would live in a luluworld and be helpless in future. TV01: Rubbish. Junk. I am sure when you are going to Manchester, you will not even consider hitch hiking as an option. There is a reason for that. TV01: Saying you know everything about a woman after one date is not my idea of "just better and more thorough". Wishful thinking. TV01: Take you savings out of Barclays, Lloyds, RBS etc and put it with some Baba Ajo and I will believe this risk comparison you are lamely trying to defiantly put. 2013? You no serious. There is no way I am not dating a woman for 25 years to know her well before I marry her with prenup signed. ![]() Na me you see o! Why you no say hi? ![]() |

Sagamite a pre-nup is different from car insurance or making alternative plans to get to a destination. The two latter examples is protecting yourself from external, unknown factors largely out of your control, while a pre-nup involves one party keeping separate what both are vowing to join together - it goes against the basic vows of marriage of 'what is mine is yours'. If, however, both parties willingly want a pre-nup, then it is a mutually understood basis for the relationship might be a good thing in my view. Why? Because it removes the fear, suspicion and attempts to hide things from one's partner when problems occur in a relationship. If you know the other person can't cheat you, then you're free to devote yourself fully and be open because they can't take it away from you. |

Ehrm , TV01 remember the phrase: "Never argue with an 1diot , they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience" 1 Like |

Kutey: No, no, no. "The Sagman" is altogether a great guy, otherwise I wouldn't bother. He just needs a lil' nudge to fully appreciate that the human dynamic - life even - and particular the marriage relationship is not a business transaction and not optimised by "control", risk mitigation, algorithmic logic,etc. etc. The pool of 5% on the male side is to shallow to allow an inherently good one like Sag to not get snapped up ![]() Very shortly Saga is going to stare that fear in the face and get his. Can't wait. Best TV |

^^ Yuk my broda. That's just grisly. The thought of it freaks me out. I'd prefer an actual human, nubile female - thank you very much. [s]Actually, human (young and voluptuous) females aren't that bad. . .as long as one needs them only for physical intimacy and not for (long term) emotional, intellectual or spiritual purposes [*chuckles*].[/s] Silicone mannequins can never be a viable option. |
