But this thread is about a woman crying over the same 'preeq'

And for your last paragraph,if Nigeria men stay away then Nigerian women would be systematically exterminated.
The ones who refuse to grow will stay away. And no way Nigerian women women can become exterminated without the same happening to Nigerian men.

Now you may argue that Nigerian men will date outside of the Nigerian women circle, but note that Nigerian women have and will continue to exercise the same option. Any offspring in such scenarios will therefore be partially Nigerian.

But note that if Nigerian men persist with the same behaviours, it is only a matter of time before those women start realising that preeq is not enough. They would probably realise it sooner and nope out much quicker than a Nigerian woman because the society here is largely secular and therefore the religious manipulations and social stigma that occurs in Nigerian society is absent and therefore nothing to shame those into staying.

The woman typically gets the offspring, hence she has more opportunities to socialise the kids into not being like their progenitor...I'm sure you see where I'm going.

TDLR Nigerian women cannot go extinct without Nigerian men becoming extinct as well.

Calm down! Love! The topic is about just fork, fork and fork alone, we are not here to discuss what to offer the society. Frankly, i refuse to offer anything else to the society. I have offered enough! grin

Now, you wanna fork or what?!
And that is how people fail exams. The topic and the video are incongruent. Going by the video shared by the OP, the topic is not "fork" by itself.

However, how you choose to understand it is your prerogative as well as your refusal to offer anything else.

If you like it, I love it for you.

ONYE ERIRI ERI......... SO I SHOULDN'T TAKE CARE OF MY MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS BECAUSE I WANT TO IMPACT ON HUMANITY. I KNOW THE REASON FOR YOUR BAD BELLE, BUT MAKE E DEY HEAVY YOU. UCHU.
I get it, you are using your preeq to take care of your mental and emotional needs so that you can impact humanity that way.

It is possible to separate it you know, to work on your mental and emotional growth first so that all areas of your life can grow in turn with richer and more meaningful contributions to society.
Your preeq will still you bring you joy, but it will be not the source of your joy or pride.

As for the smattering of non English words, I can sense the intent behind but to save you effort next time, I do not understand them.

No, the video is about a woman recounting anecdotal information about women struggling to find partners/husbands in the UK and the unintended consequence of celibacy that sometimes arises from it.

Now i submit that if women were just looking preeq, the post would be a non starter because here is your comrade in his full preeq dispensation era, as evidence that preeqs abound and in plentiful numbers. So he is not unique.

But that also suggests that these women are looking for more than just the meat and two veg dangling between your legs. Which goes back to my point, if he is more than that, he would lead with it to differentiate himself from the rest, afterall you all have the same appendage (varying sizes and abilities).

So for both our giving brother and the so-called women looking for husbands, say they get what they are looking for, what next?

In whatever they respond lies the reason for my challenge. Something is missing and that thing is what they hope fill with preeqs and husbands.

What lead foot were you expecting for fΓ»cks sakes? He even casually mentioned the sexmate as a former 'colleague' which means he has some stuffs going on and is not a beggar.

Please take your lopsided mentality away from here. The shame you have expressed you are feeling really suits you. How can any so-called logical being reason like this and stay with a man without driving him nuts?

It seems the import of the subject of this thread is lost on you. Just tell me you don't have sex or that Kemi doesn't either, then, I'd admit you're making sense.

Sure she does. Some do, some don't but whatever the case, it is not noteworthy.

But you obviously think it is, which makes me wonder what the rest of his and your life must be like for it to be such a big achievement.

I'd hazard a guess and think not much hence the overcompensating.

I'm glad you are ashamed for yourself. That's a good start. The dude dey UK ..he has no baby mama...he is not into drugs...he has a sexmate which is no crime yet a Nigerian woman like you with your plenty baggage has the guts to try to shame him? Are you not ashamed of yourself? The narrative was relationship not job or prize awards and you expect him to tell you he won a medal from the Queen?
See how aggressive you are online and you wonder why Naija men stay away from y'all in the UK?

Are you normal you this girl?

I don't know about all you mentioned he does not have. But I do know generally speaking as humans, we often lead with our best foot.

And by his PSA, I can only deduce that is what he is most proud of. And in the grand scheme of things, a very sorry thing if I may so.

Nigerian men will stay away because they are lacking in a society where men are expected to bring more value than just their "preeqs".

I DONT WANNA STRETCH MUCH ABOUT THE WHOLE KNACKING STUFF......

IF YOU ARE A LADY IN NORTH LINCS AND YOU ARE HEAVILY KONJIED,........ HIT ME UP THROUGH EMAIL.......SO YOU CAN FEEL THE VIBES. BEFORE YOU GO KNOCK ENGINE.
And this is how you choose to impact humanity? So in your 4 years of living in the UK, your biggest achievement is snagging a Nepalese girl and in respect of what you have to offer the society, the only thing you deem notable is your "preeq"?

I'm not sure whether to laugh or weep but I do know one thing, I am ashamed as a fellow nigerian.

@Shaybebaby,

Tbh, I think that you or anybody else can ONLY find out about the folks living in ANY country and the TRUE vibes (distinct cultures) that they exude when you get to physically visit them. Yes, Seychelles citizen can be a bit laid back unlike in Brazil, Jamaica or Cuba where you feel the cultural energy through music, cuisines, huge carnivals, etc. The travel brochures and video sharing sites aren't gonna give you that vibe you're looking for except you're telling me you've got clairvoyant powers for teleporting yourself back-and-forth from places you haven't visited before. Maybe I should come visit you to read my well-conditioned palms in order to know what extra riches are in store for me down the road. wink

Praslin Island and La Digue Island in the Seychelles are absolutely stunning locations for me without a shadow of doubt. At least they should be visited once in a lifetime if you want to experience some inner peace while holidaying and be in tune with the simple things of life by connecting to nature.


Shaybebaby, that's mad cool... You've visited Cuba? What year did you visit? I have a Nigerian-American friend and she has been to Cuba as well in the late 2010s. What really FIRST drew YOU to Cuba? You seem like someone who wouldn't waste time in having the fun of your life drinking Cuban Pina colada and tasting other Cuban cuisines while vigorously swaying from side-to-side to the rhythms of salsa and Afro-Cuban music? *smirk* One of my favorite international Afro-Cuban music groups is called the "Orishas" and the members have been based in France, and I've got all their albums right from the early 2000s (with the tracks replicated on my laptops and mobile devices).

That's one country I've planned to visit from 2025 for the cultural experience with Old Havana and Matanzas Province being very dear to me. Cubans have got a rich linguistic and cultural connection with the Yoruba folks of Nigeria (and other West African Yorubas) as well and they speak Cuban Lucumi (Yoruba). Lukumi is actually the original way Yorubas would greet one another going back to several centuries and it's derived from "Olukumi" meaning "my friend/my confidant." Did YOU know that based on slave ship records, about 250,000 Yorubas were deported on slave schooners to Cuba and about the same number to mainly the state of Bahia in Brazil from the late 1700s right into the 1800s when it peaked due to the Haitian revolution and the lose of Haiti by France as a fallout of the Haitian revolution (which ended plantation slavery there and led to a major shift of plantation slavery to Cuba and Brazil)? Fortunately, they weren't as brutal as that of the United States where chattel plantation slavery was very CLEARLY more brutal with the separation of family members who got sold to other plantations... NEVER to see each other again. That's in the past now but the consequences of those actions are with us today in the form of jazz music, salsa, merengue, and other respected international music forms straight out of the indomitable spirit of the African Diaspora.

The stars are indeed aligning in my favour with your prior visit to Cuba. I'll surely bounce some unique tips off you as we head towards my lift off or visit to that country... Strictly as a leisure traveler.

Take care... Talk to you later.

Au revoir. wink




Cuba, I visited in 2008 so a while ago buy I'd like to imagine that it remains largely unchanged considering the fact that even at time, the 60's vibe was still quite visible in Havana.

What drew me to Cuba? I love Latin culture, the dance, music especially bachata ( you should hear me murdering Spanish songs on my playlist🀣), and the language. Plus their recent history with communism was fascinating, to see how the country stagnated after falling out with US post Castro.

There was a lot of poverty, with a distinct lack of access to basic amenities, things were very dated since there was no international trade( at least not to my knowledge) and no real industries. But we know the history of how things became so, so it was an interesting juxtaposition to see the impact of communism in a place that looked like paradise.

I'll admit that my knowledge of the transatlantic slave trade back then was non-existent so I did not have the opportunity to experience it from that context. But I did notice that they had groups of what they called Shango worshippers..so I connected the dots.

What is interesting in those places ( the Caribbean islands) is that you come across people that bear nigerian names, without having a clue that that is a throwback to their forebears. I met a Jamaican in Jamaica ( born, bred, no recent african ancestors) named Nneka, who had no clue it was a Nigerian name, never mind Igbo.

I'm going to reread your post on slave trade, ( I need to digest it) and would love if you have some links to share for further reading. I note that you mentioned Haiti, and as it happens, I'll be going to Dominican Republic in November ( which is the other half of the island) so thank you and gods that made you post this. It will add another flavour to my trip.😁

@Shaybebaby,

A-ha, your feedback here is insightful.

First off, my day has been LARGELY good, thanks for asking (I hope you're having a great time too in the wake of the UK elections that brought in a new Labor Party Prime Minister)... The only exception for me is that I got hit by the very annoying NL antispam bot on one of the older NL Politics Section threads. This is the reason by I couldn't respond to your first reply to me on that thread and I had to quote your feedback here.

Tbh, I absolutely see NO reason why the so-called antispam bot still exists on this Website. I've sent a message to the Supermods to UNTAG that my important hidden post and I'm hopefully looking forward to getting the post released for viewing. Sometimes you don't get your NL post back after the antispam bot ban has expired despite emailing the Supermods.

Back to the Canary Islands (Las Islas Canarias) adventures of Shaybebaby and her fam, that location called Fuerteventura is a bit of tongue twister at first. lol

=>https://www.visitfuerteventura.com/en/

It (Fuerteventura) has some fascinating beachfront scenes from what I've seen online today. If I get you correctly, are you saying that I should give the "Canary islands" a miss... which as you said here is just "one big barren black rock?" But then again, if you dive deeply into your subconscious, there must have been some positives that you took away from Fuerteventura Island even though you seemed to "hate" it. The opportunity to eat the Fuerteventura cuisines, the fresh breeze that wafted through the air and gently glided over your skin while tossing your hair, and much more.

Last but NOT least, what's the significance of your NL username? What does the coinage mean?
Heyyy, glad you are having an awesome day,time,weekend(?). That's what I like to hear.

As for me I was happy to play my part in the UK elections, I'm a staunch labour supporter even though I do not like Kier Starmer..Corbyn was and is still my man, and I will never forgive Starmer for kicking him out of the party. angry

Regardless, I'll continue to vote Labour for their core ideology which lead to the formation of the NHS and the minimum wage.

On to Fuerteventura, yes, I'm saying with my "full chest" that the place is horrible. Considering that the 10 nights I spent there were paid for by my then mother in law ( a freebie), you'd think that would mollify me somewhat. Naaaah. I was miserable all through, I remember asking when we were approaching the island that " do people even live here". It was a black rock( volcanic), no vegetation.. apocalyptic if I am permitted to be dramaticπŸ˜€.

Give it hard miss, the balearics are much better.

@Supermods, please leave Konquests posts untouched please. Many people come to nairaland looking for information which is hard enough considering the sh1t tsunami that floods the site daily.

To hide, even if inadvertently, one of the few sources of intelligent discourse on here, is tantamount to self sabotage.

When will government start arresting women for emotional abuse as well??

Every married woman is a saint online........only men are Abusers.

No man should physically abuse is wife is preached all the time but no one talks emotional abuse men suffer.

The hypocrisy of how we all frawn at physical abuse but look away from emotional abuse disgust me alot.

Women tends to freely get away with emotional abuse all the time and there no law against it.

Should a man be exchanging words with his wife??
This women will dare you,curse you,ridicule you with there mouth and guess what you are suppose to be a real man that will pick is cloth, walk out to go cool off.

Have seen woman who told her husband to go sleep with his mother.
Have seen a woman rain curses on her husband for good 5days publicly and no one is gonna arrest her but when the man react then is a monster while the woman is an angel.

I don't think there is any man who will jump for joy realizing is wife have juju in his house that might be for harming him.........he has no right to physically abuse is wife but what will you have done better in such a situation Mr seun??

Seun has no right to tell a man how to run is home or how to run is life.....the moment a lady decides to marry a religious Muslim she already know what she sign up for .....let not act naive here.

It will only take the grace of God for a man not to hit a woman in marriage.........Only Married men can relate with the confrontations you get sometimes.

Physical abuse won't stop until we start punishing women for emotional abuse aswell........you constantly provoke,insult a man and you expect him not to react violently??

The government should stop begin bias and start treating emotional abuse as same as physical abuse for things to be balance.

Real men don't physically abuse there wife
Real women don't insult and curse there husband.

The THIRD video is a "Seychelles Travel Guide" that delves into the best times of the year [April to May & October to November of each year] to visit Seychelles, and more.

My dream came true! This time my wife and I have visited Seychelles, an East African archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean.



I've watched the video and indeed the beaches are stunning...

But I'm afraid, that's it. Yes, the mountain views are lovely, but it is missing a certain je ne cest quoi ..kinda like a pretty post card.

I think it's a lack of distinct culture as in what makes the people who they are, how they live..all of that adds to certain vibe.

I've been to Cuba, and the island had a Latin vibe, evident in the music, their dance ( Salsa) , mix of rural living and Havana looking like it was stuck in the 60's. I'd argue the beaches rival the Seychelles but all the above I mentioned made it much more than a beautiful destination.

Hey @Shaybebaby, it's my pleasure to have given you some unique insights. You're absolutely correct about the bolded, "humor is indeed subjective."

I didn't realize you were awake when you made this post slightly over an hour ago. I was incidentally online at that time as well and would have replied you earlier. You seem to be an intentional travel buff as well. I'll bet you've at least been to the nearby France, Netherlands, and Spain [Majorca (otherwise called Mallorca), Ibiza, Manorca and other Mediterranean island holiday spots in Spain].

Indeed, you're right about my love for leisure travel as it expands your worldview in real-time. Back in the day, I fortunate grew up in a family where my dad bought several volumes of encyclopedias for our home library, so, I was pretty much exposed to reading about global history and world cultures before the age of 5 (long before the Internet became pervasive for public use from 1994). Thinking back, I have my father to thank for my foundational interest in exploring the world through reading and my internationalist outlook to life, while not forgetting my roots. "It's a FACT that what a person becomes in life is a TOTAL function of the things he or she did while growing up."

Ah! That'll be mad cool. Just give me your feedback like you said you would on that Seychelles thread when you're ready.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Ciao. wink
The curiosity had to have been there in the first place. Thank goodness for the kind of dad you had who created avenues for it to nurtured not stifled.

You are right about intentional travelling πŸ˜€ but funny enough I haven't been to any of the balearic islands. Just one Canary Island (Fuerteventura). I beg of you, give those islands a miss..it is just one big barren black rock with black sand- I hated it!🀒🀒

Hope you are having an awesome day so far.
