Askhole: Someone who asks a question and does the opposite of what he is told. Unfortunately, despite all this heartfelt advice, some single ladies will not heed this advice and would prefer to suffer and 'trust in the Lord', forgetting heaven help those who help themselves.

This message can be deceiving in a way bcs I've made up my mind long time ago, just waiting for the resources to bring it to fulfillment. Dear single ladies pls do not relent. Keep holding on him, maybe he is still trying 2 fix tins and do it at de right time. Nobody wan suffer 4 poverty inside marriage ooo. Marriage is not easy no need 2 rush. I'm out. ***CATCH ME IF U CAN***

I TOTALLY AGREE. I am not the kinda girl that would wait around for a man to make up his mind, once i see him acting funny, i kill him with silent treatment and move the hell on

Unknown said...

...Reason why some ladies will remain single like forever. Destinies are built on different basis. The fact that Ms. A did not chase a man and she have him does not mean the same will happen to Ms. B. (let's leave psychology out of this). It only take you to know who you are before you decide on which road to follow....we've had marriages that the reverse of this post is the case. you know what i mean......so, i did not totally agreed to this. It's 50/50

Awesome write-ups. Single Ladies really do need to know the truth to avoid unnecessary disappointments. God is all we need to have a restful relationship/marriage.

In other new, Linda... The GoTv advert on your page has no "clickable" link. Kindly update.

Linda why wont you like it? He he he marriage on some peoples mind 24/7!

Every moment - Thank God.

I prefer the second to the first advice.
Life has no arithmetic formula, but with God all things are possible.

I think its exactly the opposite. It takes a man a well long time to make up his mind. maybe nt as long as a girl..

Pls libers or anyone here I need ur advice on this...
I ve a bf we've been dating 7yrs in nig nd he's been out of the country now goin to 3 yrs..he's abt getting married to another lady he said cos of his papers and after which he'll still marry me...this is d guy I love with all my life.
So I met this guy after m bein talked over by folks,friends and all to forget abt d other guy. This second guy I love so much by noticed he doesn't love me the way I do but yet I still love him.
Thirdly,there's dis guy that loves me wholeheartedly I can tell but I don't love him one bit and this is d person planning my future alongside me...
At every thought of this,I cry hard..those I live don't love me and it's d one I don't love at all at all that lives me.. Pls wat should I do? I'm too confused. So sad!

summyTee said...

Yea...but some ladies hmmmmmmm..sealed lips

Anonymous said...

So true! I've always known this truth but somehow I always manage to convince myself to believe that persistence pays off in the end and that's why I've been chasing after a guy for six years now without any result. Seeing this has given me a wake up call to move on with my life and just forget the hell about him. Although i don't know if I can cos he's the only guy I've ever loved till date and I'm talking about since from secondary school crush in 2000(14 good years is not yoke). God will help me sha.

obietrezy said...

that's a lovely advise but what i've noticed with time is that most ladies go after men these days, most men do respect the lady's boldness but other will just take advantage of them... Life is just funny and crazy at times, all we need is God's wisdom to tackle such issues when they come up.

The truth they say is bitter.
Everyone's luck differs especially in the first advice. I have a friend who got married to her childhood friend and another instance where the marriage didn't take place after 5years of courtship.
When a guy wants to spend the rest of his life with a girl, money or fame can never be a barrier. He would go right ahead with it and as a lady, you will know that a man is down for you coz "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh"

i actually believe it takes long to decide who you would be spending the rest of your life with. its not a game. people rush into things and then they want to hop out. its wise to be patient and if its yours, you would enjoy the benefits of the long wait later..#just what i think#

L.I...A MAN MITE MAKE UP HIS MIND BUT NEED FUNDS TO SUPPORT THAT DECISION OR MITE HAVE OTHER THINGS HE NEEDS TO PUT IN PLACE TO EXECUTE THAT MADE UP MIND,BUT FOR YOU LADIES YOU WANT TO RUSH INTO THE MARRIAGE WITHOUT PLANNING, SAYING "GOD WILL PROVIDE" BUT GOD HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEM SELVES...AS A WOMAN YOU WOULD KNOW WHEN A MAN IS NOT READY OR INTO U BUT THATS DIFFERENT FROM WHEN A MAN KNOWS YOU ARE THE ONE BUT ONLY WANTS IT TO BE THE RIGHT TIME."THE MIND MITE SAY YES BUT THE PUCKET MITE BE SAYING" THAT SHOULD NOT MAKE U RUN AWAY OR NOT CHASE HIM. ONLY IF THE CHASE BECOMES AN ETERNITY CHASE.

PLS LINDA ASK THE LADIES THIS QUESTION (WOULD YOU RATHER SMILE IN KEKE MARUWA OR CRY IN A RANGE ROVER)

Story of my life. .. For a very long time, I was chasing a guy that I really loved nd I thought he was my soul mate, ignoring a really good guy that loves me wholeheartedly. It took plenty of slaps nd two abortions frm d so - called 'love of my life' to bring me back to my senses... buh I was fortunate, d good guy waited for me nd never stopped loving me, I told him all abt my past nd he accepted me. Today, I'm married to d true love of my life and we are expecting our first child together. Do not waste ur time gf, it might be too late.

i swear..finally left my bf a week ago..best decision everrrr.patoswife@gmail.com

Anonymous said...

Even if he's trying to fix things and get things together, if his plans for the girl are honorable and genuine, he'll do things in a way that the girl will be rest assured and at ease; not staying up at night wondering if she's just wasting her time or fooling herself. Even if a man is not yet financially ready to settle down, there's a way he'll go about it and treat/make his girl feel that would assure her that he is for real and is in that relationship for the long-haul. Just Saying

Anonymous said...

Is this the kind of crap you try to cook up so that you can waste more innocent ladies' time? Nonesense! Guys generally don't value ladies that chase them and even if they stay with them, they'll swiftly move on once another pretty girl sparks their interest and she's seen as a 'challenge' therefore decent and more worthy of dating

Oyin said...

It doesn't necessarily mean he knows you're not the one, it can mean that he wants to see what else is out there. Either way, sucks for you. You should move on.

Unknown said...

We hv hear.

David Gino, and what happens about 7-10yrs down the line when he starts treating his wife awfully and when people try to talk to him, he'll say "well, I was never even that enthusiastic about marrying her. It's just that she's very forceful and relentless. Now I have a real lady I am interested in. I'm tired of her troubles, I'm not attracted to her, I don't even know why I married her in the first place. She must have jazzed me" etc. what should happen to the lady then? Because such has happened a lot in the lives of Nigerian women and some are still dealing with that reality till date

Anonymous said...

Davegino, marriage is not the end of the journey, it's just the beginning. If a woman ends up marrying a man who doesn't really love her just because she chased him, it will still materialise in the course if that marriage. No one is saying a lady shouldn't show a man that she loves or cares for him but if he's being distant and she's usually left thinking at night and doubting the relationship because of his actions or demeanor then she needs to move on to someone who is more reliable. There are no two ways about it. It's just as simple as that. If you don't want your girl to give up on your relationship then you should show her it is something worth sticking around for........ Just Me

ABEG, THIS IS JUST ENOUGH. COMEON LADIES, DO THE HELL WHAT U WANT TO DO. ALL THE ADVICE IN D WORLD ARE FOR LADIES. ALL THE BOOKS ON MARRIAGE ARE WRITTEN FOR LADIES. ALL THE SINGLES MEETING, PASTORS TALK ABT LADIES! IF U DO THIS, HE WILL LOVE YOU. HOW TO KEEP YOUR MAN. IF U DO THIS, HE WON'T LOVE U..HABA! ENOUGH, KILODE? THE GIRL CHILD IS A HUMAN BEING BIKO. TALK TO THE SINGLE GUYS AND ADVISE THEM TOO. WHEN YOU SPEND FOREVER TEACHING UR DAUGHTERS HOW TO COOK,WASH,KEEP VIRGINITY, BE GOOD WIVES ET ALL WITHOUT EQUALLY TEACHING YOUR SONS, THERE WUD BE NO GOOD GUYS FOR THEM TO MARRY WHEN THEY ARE GROWN!

PLS, LET THE SOCIETY FOCUS ON THE MEN FOR ONCE!

Anonymous said...

Hmmm.....
Your words touched my heart, I ask God those questions sometimes and the reply I get is:
Hold on
Be patient
Keep trusting
Persevere
Have Hope even if it's as small as a mustard seed.
Love yourself
Love God
And when it seems like I'm tired of holding on, I cast all my worries on Jesus and live my Christian life steadfastly after all Life is but a dream and sometimes meaningless!!!

Word! And dear single ladies, when your man tells you he's still praying and waiting for God's voice if to marry you or not. Tell them that God has already spoken to you that he's the one! If he still gives more excuses, then open your eyes...he doesn't want you! Booth him out before he does you!

Thank you darling.... Nigeria's population census shows there are more men in Nigeria than there are women yet there are few eligible men to marry we need to start training our boys & teaching them how to be good lovers & fathers

Hmmm I agree thou I learnt this fact the hard way. I just walked out of a 8yrs relationship. This guy spends almost evryynyt with me. Little did I know he had another lady whom he has been with since she was 16yrs old and for 13yrs now. Found out he had paid her Dowry since 2011. Imagine how wicked a Man's heart can be, lying to me he wants to be with me, infact started discussing wedding date,venue and budget but all along bethroted to another woman.
Ladies pls don't date 4 too long regardless of a Man's promises, even meeting his family or him meeting yours in NO guarantee he wants to have you as wife. A real Man doesn't have to sleep with U for years to know he wants you for life. I learnt the hard way. Now where to I start from??? After missing on good guys with genuine intentions all in a bit to be faithful to a man who was never Faithful.
