Tips for Men When Buying Engagement Ring for Her
You are taking your relationship to the next level- congratulations! Things may become overwhelming and it is very understandable. Purchasing an engagement ring for your loved one is a crucial investment you can make before you get into your marriage. So, ensure that you have all the bases covered.
Chances are that the love of your life has been dreaming about this piece of jewelry for as long as she can remember. So, whether you are planning on the engagement ring as a surprise or you are buying it together, this guide will help you get what works for both of you.
Look for an engraved ring
A personal touch to any gift will significantly enhance the emotional value of the gift. A lot of people prefer to engrave their promise on the ring. A simple ‘I love you’ works well. Always remember, the more you personalize the ring, the better.
Customize the ring
Choosing an engagement ring from Moissanite is considered a lifetime commitment, and you can ensure that it stays special throughout. You may be confused because you like the design of a particular ring but you want a different gemstone or the current metal does not fit well with the gem and you want to change it. With customization, you will be able to choose any design that you like and replace it with any gemstone, or metal or even add an engraving to it.
Decide on the stone
Gone are the days when a diamond was considered to be the only choice for an engagement ring. Today, a lot of people prefer choosing colored gemstones like emerald, sapphire, or ruby. A particular color may have a significant emotional value to your loved one. In this case, you will have to go for her favorite color because the end game is that you make it extra special for both of you.
Look out for her ring size
Imagine getting everything right, and the time has come, you are on your knees with the ring in your hand. You ask your big question, and she responds and as soon as you try to put the ring on her hand, it does not go through. This can be a bit of a damper. Ring size is always an important point to consider as no one wants to get it wrong. You can try getting the ring size without her knowing.
Understand her preference
This is also another very crucial point to consider. Since everyone has their unique design options, and with so many shops out there, you may get confused about where to start and what to pay attention to. This is the point where you have to seek her help, not necessarily direct, but by noting down her jewelry preference. Pay attention to the kind of jewelry that she wears, is it modern or vintage? Her choice of fashion should also give you a hint.
Conclusion
Give yourself a couple of days to think about the kind of engagement ring that will suit your woman. Then after making your choice, the above tips will help you come up with a good gem from Moissanite that she will treasure for a long time.

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has secured a court order to extend the detention of former Governor of Kaduna State, Mr Nasir El-Rufai.
This order gives the anti-graft agency ample time to finalise its investigation into allegations against the former governor, which has now deepened as a result of some new findings.
Subsequently, the new order, which was granted on Tuesday in the presence of Mr El-Rufai’s lawyer, will expire on Thursday, March 19.
However, Mr El-Rufai’s lawyer, whose application to quash the first remand order was declined by a Chief Magistrate Court in Bwari, has returned to the same court to nullify the latest order.
Justice Okechukwu John Akweke has fixed March 17 to decide whether or not he should set aside the latest detention order.
He said, “Upon hearing and listening to the prosecuting counsel, Dr Osuobeni Ekoi Akponimisingha Esq., praying this Honourable court for the following orders:
“An order of this Honourable Court issuing a remand warrant against the Respondent (NASIR AHMAD EL-RUFAI) in favour of the Applicant, i.e. Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), to detain the Respondent (NASIR AHMAD EL-RUFAI) in its custody for another fourteen (14) days pending conclusion of investigation activities on allegations of Money Laundering/abuse of office.
“And for such other or further order(s) as this Honourable court may deem fit to make in the circumstances. It is hereby ordered that: Application granted as prayed.
“That the Applicant, i.e. the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission ICPC is hereby ordered to re-detain the Respondent (NASIR AHMAD EL-RUFAI) for an additional 14 days to enable the commission to conclude investigation activities.
“That the return date shall be the 19th day of March 2026, for the report of compliance.”
The scrutiny of Mr El-Rufai by the ICPC follows the report of the Kaduna State House of Assembly’s ad hoc committee constituted in 2024 to investigate finances, loans and contracts awarded between 2015 and 2023 under his eight-year administration of the state.

The federal government has begun evacuating willing Nigerians in Iran, escorting them across the Armenian border to ensure their safety amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
The evacuation follows the growing crisis that began on February 28 after coordinated military strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel.
The attacks triggered retaliatory missile and drone strikes across parts of the region, raising fears of a wider conflict.
The chief executive of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, disclosed this in a post on her X handle on Tuesday.
She said officials of the Nigerian Embassy in Tehran are coordinating the evacuation of Nigerians who wish to leave the country and are facilitating their safe passage into Armenia.
Mrs Dabiri-Erewa also reassured that no Nigerian in Iran has so far been affected by the ongoing tensions, noting that embassy officials remain stationed at the border to receive and assist evacuees.
Her post read, “Willing Nigerians [are] being escorted across the Armenian border by officials of the Nigerian embassy in Iran for safe passage. No Nigerian in Iran has been affected by the war as officials remain at the border to receive all who want to leave.”
The development comes as tensions in parts of the Middle East continue to raise concerns over the safety of foreign nationals residing in affected areas.
For repatriation flights, the NiDCOM chair said the airspace is currently unsafe but assured Nigerians in the Middle East that the Federal Government team is on standby to evacuate them.
“And as for repatriation flights, the skies are currently unsafe to fly. Luckily, a flight came in from the UAE to Lagos two days ago, just before another strike and the closure of the airspace.
“Once the airspace opens, the multi-agency FG team on crisis and evacuation is on standby. Our prayers are with you and all our people in affected countries,” she said.

All private transmission connected to the national grid must register and get authorisation to operate, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has declared.
In a statement, the electricity regulatory body in Nigeria directed owners of private transmission substations used by bulk electricity consumers to obtain an Independent Electricity Transmission Network Operator (IETNO) Permit before operating or connecting to the grid.
It was disclosed that this latest development, which became effective March 9, 2026, is to strengthen oversight of privately owned substations connected to Nigeria’s national grid.
NERC further said the directive was introduced to improve grid reliability, safety, and operational visibility following frequent transmission line trips reported by the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO).
Under the order, NISO must submit to NERC a comprehensive list of all existing Private Transmission Substation Owners (PTSOs) and notify them of the provisions of the order within five days.
Existing PTSOs must apply to NERC for an IETNO permit within 45 days, while new PTSOs must obtain the permit before connecting to the grid, as non-compliance attracts regulatory sanctions.
NISO will deploy IoT-based metering systems at substation interconnection points within 120 days.
Further, operators must submit monthly operational reports, while NISO will conduct inspections to ensure compliance.
