Oh shut-up.

You will say it is what you do every day and not everyone.

Everyday we hear news of how people maltreat their " Omo odo' claiming they are doing them(Omo odo) big favor.

For your info an adopted child is not an "Omo odo"

Acidosis:

I never said that. I mean if you think the sister is wicked to her omo odo, then you go and adopt her, atleast you will change her name and make her your own daughter. If you can't help and someone out there is doing what most of you wouldn't do for your firstborn, then I'll advice you and your hypocritical bigots to shamefully shut the crap

chindi:

Pls o, i get d 'omo odo' to mean househelp, wat of 'su egbe', can someone translate plzzzzz[color=#990000][/color]

The poster and her stories remind me of my 8 year old nephew and his very creative stories. Even if 1/10th of the things of what you say is true, you shot urself in d foot by coming hhere with the intention os ridcluing d girl. When u didn't get d response u wanted u turned to shameless lying. your stories re too exagerated, brother in law breaking mop, 10 dvds, eating half a crate of eggs at once and now this. U too lie abeg if everyone is being diplomatic I won't, u re a bloody liar

Owu gal:

at outstrip thanks for the empathy. now that i think about it, maybe i should have physically removed the milk from his hands too. i wonder what he'd have said. but i think he got the message when he would see me buy milk and not put it where i used to put it, but in my wardrobe. i know he looks through my wardrobe and stuff, for what i dont know, but when he saw the milk he probably got the message. i would have fought him if he  removed the milk cos then i could accuse him of going thru my stuff. i have not really spoken to my husband about his behavior except that i have corrected his brother in front of him, like the time i mentioned earlier that i corrected my BIL for spreading his clothes in front of the front door.
one time i suggested he not use the brooms because of the so many he keeps breaking.

but i am afraid of saying anything more than that because one time i mentioned  to my husband how his bro broke the tv and he said no it must have been an accident. but i knew he knew it wasnt a simple accident because later he left the broken dvd payers and electronics in the living room and  put the ones that still work, with the exception of one tv ( which he left in the living room) in our bedroom. and cautioned his bro against using it.

@ chaircover, the pot of stew had twelve pieces of meat and he ate it all. i know it had twelve pieces because i became reduced to counting meat in the pot when i would make a pot full of meat fish etc and come back home and see it all gone. i began to think that perhaps i was delusional and didnt actually put meat in the pot so i started counting.

thank goodness though he has left a few days ago. now i have food and property peace. i was relieved to see him go.

 i wish my life was different and that perhaps i married a white man and maybe family wont come over to disturb my peace. but all i can hope for is to become so wealthy that i wont care when family comes over and eats or destroys property. i also hope that i would be to busy to even bother with anyone. and perhaps live in an area to flashy that they wont want to come and disturb me.

but there are those great inlaws who come over and you dont want them to leave, like my hubbys cousin who cooks, cleans and is so well brought up, i wanted to invite her to live with us except that she is kinda expensive and has expensive tastes and i cant afford right now,( situations will change), some of the gucci she wants to be owning.

but as it is i am a sucker for the dark skin and so my life is as it is.

Owu gal:

Dear Emmatok,
thank you so much for your perfect analysis ( if not complete) of the situation. You are right, he does come from the village or at least had a not so priviledged upbringing. and its true he eats a lot and when he first came to my house did not know how to do a thing. I mean he broke the brooms he was trying to use to sweep or kill a fly (I know he broke one broom while trying to use it to swat a fly).

I think he will mature to be responsible, but right now its painful to live with him and also very expensive. this holiday time around he broke no tv, but ate all the food and damaged the iron and a few minor appliances, which thankfuly i have spares of and decided to hide.

You cant imagine how scared I was when he told his brother to teach him how to drive? I immediately informed my husband not to think of using my car. and because of that myhusband never taught him. but to be honest, his brother takes less interest in him than I do. and never even thought of getting the boy a bank account or even ID card. I was the one pressing for it. I would have even got him all that if it wasnt that his family didnt coperate in releasing his birth certificate.

marriage is not easy. so for all the young women out there wishing to get married, I can tell you that its like wishing to learn how to charm a snake. it can be dangerous, tricky and it requires constant vigilance. half of the time I am so resentful of my husband and inlaws. and even my parents for suggesting I learn to tolerate it. I cant tell you the number of times I want to get out of it. Even now as I type I want to get out of it. but  for "hope" that deceiver and yet good thing is making me believe that there is something good to be gotten out of this.

jennykadry:

Then he decided to dismantle their microwave. He went further ahead to break the cupboard she packed the food stuff inside to find more food to eat.

Did I leave any other details behind?

pinkrex:

I really shared tears to see some people come on here to defend this inhuman act. ESP. Ronkefb, it's really not acceptable to see people give good riddance to awful things just because it's a norm. We have been mentally infected with our ancestral cultures and traditions and on this norm some people brain and thoughts were forged. It doesn't have anything to do With education or exposure, it has to do with what you personally see as wrong or right due to your heart. How can people come here to justify nonsense and give it sense cos we've being practicing it? I bet we should go back to the days twins were killed

Siena:

This thread's still raging? The OP erred in her choice of words, they were unpleasant. She's been told, insulted etc. Why not let things lie? Jeeze!

Siena:

^^^ Great. And you created another username just to post that? From your comment regarding the 100-page rule, you obviously know the ropes here, so you're not a new member.

Contributing is great, but to make an ignorant poster (yes, she was ignorant and immature to post what she did) feel worse than she undoubtedly does, is not a good idea. Two wrongs don't make a right. What she posted here can't be undone, and regardless of how much of a hate campaign is waged against her, it won't change a thing. The only person who can change her attitude is OwuGal herself.

If it makes you feel better bullying her, please, continue. But, it makes you no better than Owu Gal herself, who chose to publicly bully a young girl, to make her feel good about herself.

UncleN:

so in your own opinion, different people coming to post THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL OPINION ON A THREAD PLACED IN A VANTAGE PLACE ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE FORUM for all to see constitutes hate campaign and bullying Geez I sincerely hope to God that I have not AGAIN mistakenly joined a Migerian website for teenagers because that is the only plausible explanation for your candyfloss ladened brain

No wonder the concept of the possibility of someone looking up the rules of a forum before joining was lost on you.
