So shall it be.

I like the first quote. It calls for sober reflection and a rethink on our stand.

As for me, its either Brasil or Argentina. The winner would be from the host continent.

His parents house is still better. Infact, in some culture, u stay in your parents' house for a short while with your new bride before moving to your own location. So I don't see any negative stigma here. However, u are expected to live in your father's house again immediately after marriage in some other culture. This is where u may be stigmatized. Where u do not have the option of puting up with your parents (if u are living in another town), u can stay in your inlaw's place or your trusted friend's apartment but make sure u don't overstay.

Some people don't mind 5-12 yrs difference while some others want 2-4 or even agemate. I prefer the later but it all depends on individual.

@londoner- That's the right word: 'pride'. I also believe that God humbles the proud-hearted and raises the lowly.

Honestly I am not in surpport of the woman. My friend said this is happening in his neighbourhood. The woman suddenly changed. I apologise to the ladies for the generalization. But I said that because of a case I know about(not told this time). I have a very close female friend(NCE holder). There is this guy(Also NCE holder) who spends a lot for her and he is asking for her hand in marriage. The guy is a working-class and ok by my judgement. I have also tried to convince my friend to yield but she is refusing simply because of their same level of education. The funny thing is that she is still collecting gifts from the guy though not on demand. That was why I opened this thread to really know others' opinions. It is not intended to just raise a controversial issue.

In the olden days, both male & female marry early. This is because there was no formal education. So they marry slightly after entering puberty or not long after puberty. Nowadays, we have the synopsis of our system of education planned to discourage early marriage. The following reasons add to late marriage in Nigeria & some other places today: 1. O level struggle(WAEC) 2. JAMB war 3. Admission tussle 4. Unemployment menace after graduation 5. Under-employment scuffle. Some other reasons include: 6. Pride 7. Quest for freedom 8. Too high specifications 9. Character 10. Appearance 11. Personal issues 12. Foes(we know what African power can do) 13. The 'Ajegunle/Olorunsogo' not 'Surulere' mentality (wanting to marry only the rich), et cetera. All these are not peculiar to only the ladies, we also have many unmarried over 35 male Nigerians. The economic status of the country is not helping the growing youths at all. May God help us.

@ iice- I don't think using 'petty' as a choice of word to describe a small-scale business demands such a phrase to describe me. Anyway, I understand people react to issues in different ways but I still have to appreciate your comment. Thank u.

@axeman85- So u gave her the card because the account has given red signal. U are very funny.

A friend of mine told me about a hubby(HND holder) who financed his wife(BSc degree holder) with his petty computer centre business to acquire higher degrees. She now has a PhD and to her, her husband is now below standard. He couldn't dare to challenge her night-crawling without being reminded that she is now a university lecturer- a Doctor. For the ladies, most of them feel marrying a man with a lower level of education is downgrading themselves. Please comment.

@eazyman You wouldn't have known if you didn't have her password. Thank God for letting the cat out of the bag.

If u trust your partner and you've got nothing to hide, fine. The major problem is the uncertainty of whether the relationship will lead to marriage or not. For married couple, no excuse.

Your e-mail account password gives access to all your confidential and informal messages both received and sent items. You were also advised not to disclose your Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) card pin to anyone. Why would you not like your fiance or fiancee, husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend to read your mails or withdraw from your account with your ATM?

She did that to delete u from her recycle bin. Move on but don't repeat ur past mistakes in your new affair because u can't be completly faultless. Maybe she is not meant for u. Goodluck.

Whatever the case may be, I think women can find better ways of solving family challenges. Denying him may do more harm than good.

Does she not have work? She will not make both of them productive by doing that.

If u don't have a possessive feeling for your partner, then u do not love him/her. For example if u are aware that your partner is sleeping with another person and u remain indifferent, then you don't love him/her. Your partner is your possession(property). Just as you wouldn't like your bossom friend to use(share) your most admirable T-shirt, car etc, you wouldn't like to share your partner with anyone if you cherish him/her. If u claim to love someone, u will not hurt his/her feelings. Love is all about feelings. Cheating hurts and makes u feel that your property has been stolen(shared among u and others). Before you'll mate another person, something would have first transpired. God himself has structured guidlines on sex which I believe he used to different us from animals. The fear of God plus self-control will never permit you to cheat if you have them.

I have some problems with a Sony Ericson phone settings. I do not know the code to enter in order to restore factory setting. Pls any idea?

First, do not say you are in love because it isn't love but lust. Lie may prevail for many years but the truth shall one day reign. Second, you should know that your affair can never end well. Finally, repent and desist before it will lead you to the point of no return. God frowns at this.

You are right Idowuogbo but I think one should feel insecure only if the friend in question is not trusted.

Some men/ladies become sad if they know that their partner have been calling or chatting with their friends regularly without their knowledge. I mean nothing is going on between you and his/her same-sex friend but you wouldn't tell him/her that you often chat with or call his/her friend or relation. Is it really good since there is nothing to it apart from chatting on facebook, badoo etc and calling regularly to say hi? What would he/she think if he/she get to know?

Applying 2 any company whose name, location, address or website is not known is like lending money 2 an unknown person. Organised true firms will always disclose their identity. Who are you?
