I would love to marry a Nigerian girl abroad, but, sadly, they all seem to like white men. . .

PurestBoy:

What's the purpose of these thread when most people will lie about the phone they use, But as for me, I'm an HTC lover and I've been using HTC phones for the past 3 years now and I've used series like
HTC Trinity (P3600)
HTC Touch Dual
HTC Viva, it got stolen and I bought Touch Diamond and now I'm planning to switch to HTC Max 4G but it's not yet available in Nigerian markets.

HTC is the best mobile on the planet because it's advanced and just more than a phone.

I'm an HTC person myself, starting with the HTC Wizard (MDA\MDA Vario) that I bought in 2006. It was a good phone, and I was able to do so much with it. I upgraded to the HTC Excalibur (S620) that I have today towards the end of 2007. It has also been a good phone for me.

I have always loved Windows Mobile phones, regardless of what people say about them.

I plan to upgrade soon, as I am looking at the Sony Xperia X1 (also built by HTC) and will upgrade the ROM to Windows Mobile 6.5

What Nairaland has taught me:

There is nothing more important than being yourself, no matter how unpopular it may be. It is not worth it trying to be like the rest of the crowd.

Nigerians are constantly making up stories

Hatred and corruption is alive and well, and is a major obstacle towards development and forward movement.

From the Romance section: Girls will fall for anything a loser guy would say to her; People do incredibly stupid things when the words "love" and "marriage" is involved, and all common sense is thrown out the window.

Apparently, a woman's virginity is the purest thing sought after.

Posters on NL are generally childish, and will not deal with a topic with logic, but rather with emotions and other childish activities.

Nigerians do not answer questions, they merely dance around the topic at hand, or derail the topic with nonsense bickering.

I'll add more as I think of more.

@y me, its nt a joke, they r very identical no diff. Dats where i am confused

Bullshit, you know the difference between the two. Besides, I'm sure this story is made up. Nobody is this stupid to not realize such a thing.

The links work fine, but these are some very unattractive females. It's not worth the effort watching them at all.

This was my reaction to the girls in the video. . . \/\/

i have a friend (male) who is about 30 and is still a virgin. He says that he is waiting on the right one. I say he's weird at this day and age to still be a virgin, and he is not all holy either! I saw some nekkid pics on his phone but i didnt say anything.

so is he lying or he is he really a virgin.

Which I still find wierd.

He's probably not lying. I would imagine he has such pics on his phone as he desires a woman of similar appearance. A 30 year old male virgin is not as uncommon as you think. I'm in my 20s and still a virgin, and I'm pretty sure I can go into my 30s, if it takes that long for me to find a wife.

@orimili, 5'11 ehn? good luck,

There's quite a few of them hiding somewhere.

That scene was absolute rubbish and almost killed the movie for me.

The scene had nothing to do with marina or UBA. Where the hell in Lagos can you see a collection of shanty buildings surrounding an abandoned skyscraper??!?!? absolute fabrication, absolute rubbish.

Obviously the director/screenwriters were just doing a cash-in on the recent blood diamond inspired craze, as seen in 24 and countless other movies with 'african' locations.

This is evidenced by 24's very own IKE DUBAKU appearing as the 'Nigerian' ringleader, talking about 'Diamonds' as if we have diamonds in Naija.

The natural resource that foreigners come here to leech off of is OIL, but hollywood associates oil with Arabs and suicide bombings so they just put diamonds there instead!

Then theres the nonsense of killing villagers IN LAGOS

Jesus christ what part of Lagos are they talking about? And where in Lagos would you find a village where people need a translator and speak only Igbo? (Thank god they actually used a Nigerian language, though they got the location wrong 100%)

What would have made the scene work? Lose the military-defended skyscraper (complete fabrication as far as Lagos is confirmed), Make it a hacienda style compound with OPC-esque mufti-wearing thugs (we can asume it is somewhere in Aja, Epe, ikorodu, or wherever all those big men go to build their little empires) and make the 'villagers' speak Yoruba (more plausible that some superpowered white ubermensch could show up from nowhere and massacre them all without causing the motherload of all riots)

All they needed to do was spend a weekend or so cruising around Lagos for research and they would have done a much better job of it. As it stands, it is complete bollocks and makes it seem like they really didn't try hard for this movie.


They didnt even research the comics well anyway. the movie was pretty crap in that regard.

I'm not in any way defending the film, but the ringleader did state that the village was located "further inland, about three days." Even then, you would be correct to say that this whole segment was horribly done. I didn't know why it would take three days to get from Lagos to some village in Igboland. Even if one were going "further inland" from Lagos, they would be traveling in the wrong direction, and the village most likely wouldn't have been Igbo speakers. Anyway, you make very good points, and this movie overall was bad. I'm glad I didn't pay to see this tragedy.

dakmanzero:

in short:

Nigerian scenes were cute but badly researched and mediocre. There are 'villagers' speaking igbo in Lagos, unable to understand english, and a 'diamond merchant' in a land that does not produce diamonds, at the top of a skyscraper filled with soldiers with red berets (nigerian army red berets, since when?!??!?!?!)

That was just nonsense. Other evidence of poor research: our Igbo villager sounding like some caveman saying the rock came 'from the sky' and other such nonsense. As if most Igbos in Lagos, literate or not, are not more likely to come up with a more practical or superstitious-christian explanation.

If they had just relocated the whole thing to Abakaliki and abandoned the skyscraper, instead making it a mansion surrounded with thug guards, it would have made a world of difference.

A weekend in Nigeria for research would have done wonders. Instead we get this crap.

On top of that. the movie itself was poorly researched and inaccurate. Anyone who knows anything about x-men will be able to tell you how much bullshit was shoveled into that movie story wise.

However, the xmen movies are less faithful to the comics than iron man, spiderman, the hulk, etc so we can forgive them. the 'replacement' story they came up with was nice, in my opinion, and the new heroic wolvie, though completely fake and an invention of hugh jackman, is a likeable and interesting character.

I forgot to read this post, but I agree wholeheartedly!

While It was nice to hear my language in a major Hollywood film, this particular film was utter shit. Also, about the part about Nigeria, it wouldn't have hurt to at least do some research, because everything about it was wrong, especially the diamond merchant scene (Blood Diamonds in Naija?) and people in entire Igbo villages being unable to at least understand English, in a former British colony?

Excellent Cinematography? Did you watch the same Wolverine that I did? That movie was horrible, this coming from a fan of comic based movies! Too many mutants, not enough character development. Butchered storyline, and worst, they ruined Deadpool! Fox should give up their license to do Marvel superhero films.

Where are these tall women of which you speak? As a tall guy, I would love to find someone that is at least 5'11"

PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP BEFORE I TAKE MY LIFE,



I'm 29 yrs old inlove with a man of 35yrs.We were suppose to be gettin married in like 3 months time. My fiance invited me over to his family house so we can discuss about our weddin preparation but on gettin there , he had a call form his boss who requested his presence right away; so he travelled to Abuja dat day. He promised to be back in 2days,so i was left alone with his parent and your brother.

My predicament : Later that nite , a lady knocked at the door and my father-inlaw open the door not known they were arm robbers.They came in ,beat my brother inlaw ,collected all the money and raped me in the presence of my in-law. The following morning my parent in-laws took me to the hosiptal for medical attention, i dont know what the family doctor told them but on gettin home,My mother-inlaw asked if i think its a good idea to still go on with the weddin plans, i told her yes.



My mother-inlaw insisted on telling her son the whole scene,even though i begged her,she doesnt tink i'm the right woman for her son anymore after 3yrs that i've known them.


What should i do now?

Honestly, at 29 years of age, you should understand that life is not perfect, nor is it fair sometimes. Move the hell on, there's most likely someone out there that is better for you anyway.

But, if you insist on carrying on, I have included some sites that may guide you in your quest to take your life:
[list]
[li]Cool ways to kill yourself[/li]
[li]How to kill yourself like a man[/li]
[/list]

From what I understand, "cheating" is usually cheating when cheating is involved. How else would "cheating" be considered cheating? Wrap your mind around that!

Question: What does one truly want from a marriage, that, above all things, the potential spouse must either be a virgin or non-virgin.

This is a serious question, because it seems as whenever this topic comes up, the person asking it appears to have a judgment so clouded that they can't seem to look past the fact that the person may have had a previous sexual relationship. As a virgin myself, I think it would be nice to have a virgin bride, but there is much, much more to a successful marriage in God's eyes, than this one thing.

You can search for that "virgin prize," and she can turn out to be the most dishonest, unbearable person, while the girl who slipped up when she was young, but kept herself until marriage can turn out to be the most genuine, most God-fearing person you would ever meet, and would make the perfect bride.

I'm assuming that most of the posters here follow the Christian faith. Isn't forgiveness one of Christianity's major themes? If so, when does forgiveness leave the equation once one has sex? I guess Christianity in NYC is different from Christianity in Nigeria. . .

Also, to the people who must have a bride that is a non-virgin, what is your reasons for having such a requirement?

HTC Excalibur (S620) with Windows Mobile 6.1 makes the best combination for me so far.

i truely doubt somone is goinna look all in your vagina for a scar,  get real

And I truly doubt that someone is going to look all in your vagina to see if you have a hymen, so it is you that will also have to face reality.

Seriously, any guy with a correct mind would be able to tell if a girl is a virgin or not without looking for physical evidence.

Moonstone:

Not really. It's a grafting process that heals afterwards. No guy will know unless he's a doctor himself and he's looking for signs of the operation. It's a very easy process from what I have read and it is simpler than what it seems like. It is a minor operation.
But no girl should have to go that far to impress a man. However, when she sees it as having no choice, what can she do?

No process is easy, minor, or unidentifiable. Besides, if this process becomes common, men will know about it, and will learn how to check for it.

Moonstone:

Thank God for Vagina Reconstruction Surgery. Kai! Some guys are mugu-fied.
If it's virgin you want, it's virgin you'll get married to.
I love our gender

Unfortunately, as with any surgical procedure, it's going to leave some sort of scaring, and one will be able to tell if you had a procedure or not. Besides, if a girl is willing to go to such lengths to deceive a man, she will have some other feature that the guy will eventually be turned away by.

It's nice that you can leave Nairaland for months and log back on, and see the same trolls/desperate losers/scum of the earth posting these threads all the time. I think that Nairaland needs more moderators, because the overall quality of this site has really gone to shit.

I'm quite sure that Bob James is a troll. Obviously any grown man should know the difference between right and wrong, especially dealing with relationships.

madambini:

Imagine how i was dumped!
i called my boyfriend late last night and a girl picked his phone, i asked to speak to him and she said he was sleepin, that he is tired,
i was really pissed, and i kept calling till he picked. then he had the guts to tell me that it's over between us and the gal i spoke with is the girl he wants to marry, sob! sob! sob!
my heart has being shattered since then, what do i do now!

Move on. No man should be worth crying for and falling apart for. Forget about him and continue with your life. Just as he was there, another man, possibly a better man, will come into your life.

No2Atheism:

For me marrying a virgin is a desire but not a compulsion, hence although as a bible believer, I desire to marry a virgin both for the novelty and also because of the spiritual implications/problems associated with pre-marital sex. Nevertheless[b] I am not naive enough to think that all bible believers are virgins[/b]. Hence i don't have any problem with marrying non-virgin under certain considerations (e.g. consideration of being a bible believer).

The most important thing is that i meet a babe (who meets all my specs) and to whom i can truly say "I love you", without feeling that am lying about it.

If it turns out that the babe willingly/personally tells me that she is not a virgin, frankly I would not be bothered and I won't really care because I am not perfect either, and because am more interested in my love for her and hers for me. So i don't have any problem with her not being a virgin so long as her personal history (which she tells me) shows that she's not a LovePeddler, but rather that she was a victim of men that took advantage of her in previous failed relationships.

The truth is that most of us are damaged goods anyway, hence i don't think its fair to condemn women who have lost their virginity due to failed relationships, however[b] i have no respect and desire for ladies who are sex addicts and whores just for the fun of it[/b].


Yes I can marry a virgin
Yes I can marry a non-virgin
No I cannot marry a LovePeddler


I rest my case,

This is quite possibly the most sensible post I've ever read on Nairaland. I agree 99.9% (Nothing is ever 100% with me)

Yes she is! I love everything about her, especially her height and how she carries it!
