Politics / Re: Awolowo Never Betrayed Igbos During Nigeria’s Civil War – Bode George by Belafonte(m): 1:44am On Apr 11
AlexBells:
It is not very accurate to blame Awolowo, Ojukwu knew from Aburi that the West had been defeated. However Awolowo did take some mischievous steps afterwords like advising the Eastern blockade and taking Igbo money in the bank but we rose from the Ashes and became the best

Was it not mischievious for Ojukwu to break nigerian banks and loot the funds deposited in them?

You think war is sharing of akara? You guys took a gamble and got your fingers burnt deal with it

Awolowo is not to blame for your misfortunes. Nobody send una go fight war wey una no fit win

Crime / Re: Irritating As Adultery And Prostitution Increase In Nigeria, Causing Vexation by Belafonte(m): 4:51pm On Dec 28, 2023
Blacklion3:
You should tackle the root cause which is the poverty rate and no reasonable paying jobs

There are countries with a far lower standard of living than we have in Nigeria where these abominations are not even considered, not to talk of being practised.

The problem in Nigeria is greed, materialism and a desperate worship of mammon

Even in this Nigeria not every poor woman is involved in prostitution and adultery, so there's no excuse

The Catholic Church in Africa is doing everything possible to remedy the situation.


We all read the communique from the papacy.

If the Pope comments were misconstrued, then what exactly did the Pope say to you?

Please can you share a link to the communique, I'd like to read it for myself. Thanks

Can we please have a video of the Pope's speech? That would be way better than second hand information from both the media and ArchBishop Kaigama

Please does anyone have a link to the Pope's speech
Properties / Re: See The House I Built For My Age Parents. by Belafonte(m): 1:07am On Dec 23, 2023
Nice2023:
I remembered when they both toiled to see me through this difficult world,especially my dad who made sure me and my two brothers attended University and graduated.

Today,I decided to build this house for them and to make their remaining years on earth a fulfilled one.

Below are the pictures.

Great one my brother. You have done extremely well. There's only one thing I think you may have overlooked, which is having a green area.

They will need to stay in the fresh air out in the compound periodically and a garden area would have been perfect considering its health benefits. If you can still adjust the spaces for them that would be awesome.

Cheers

Don't blame my reading comprehension on your hypocrisy bro. You clearly said there's nothing disrespectful about bringing up the OPs mum in an argument. Now i ask for retaliatin and you're asking for context lol. You're just a shameless hypocrite FOH

Everything depends on the context, that's my point. Definitely if the situation warrants mentioning her dad to drive a point, it doesn't make it an insult.

Had it been she insulted the mother or called her names, I would totally understand, even if he chose to send her packing.

Even the OP couldn't mention any insult, just that he didn't like the fact that she mentioned his mum. Is that enough reason to start keeping malice with your wife It's childish!

Lol. So when you're angry at your wife over an issue, you'd ask her if she'd treat her father that way in the heat of the moment? Lol okay I believe you sir

What exactly was the disrespect? That she said he would have considered something if it was his mother? Or did she say something else?

Bro, abeg chill... She neither insulted the mom nor disrespected her. The OP himself is childish for bringing his family issues here.

Maybe he should turn her into a punching bag to show y'all that he's a real man or alpha male.


Is it safe to say he can use her father as comparison in her dealings with him?

For example, "you'd never talk to your father like that"

Technically, she didn't insult your mom. It just happens that you think your wife shouldn't mention ur mom like that, but it happens, women have sharp mouth and you need to find a way to just playfully caution her when she says such things.

Fighting your wife or keeping malice with her is a very childish thing. She doesn't need to apologize, you both should end it in the other room and move on.

This is a wrong mentality to have. Disrespect should never be tolerated. Why should he laughingly caution someone who disrespected him by disrespecting his mother? Is it fear or respect or madness?

Anybody that can disrespect your mother needs to be swiftly and brutality corrected not beating around the bush

Few days ago my wife was angried and utterred some statements that I do not like.
The statement was that she relating an issue by using my mum
The statement was "had it been it was your mum that did that you would have find means to repay her'.
I find it offensive for uttering such a statement, I was offended immediately but I kept my calm because we are already prepared to go out.

So when we came back I informed her that I am annoyed with what she said.

Her reply was that she did nothing wrong with such a statement because she didn't insult or belittle my mum.

I told I'm not but she decided not to apologize for that.

After two days our communication has not been normal and it only greetings.

So the next day I called and discussed it with her but still stands that she isn't wrong.

We have not been in good terms since then,

Please isn't she supposed to apologise despite that I told her I don't like the statement?

Next time she does something you don't like ask her if she'd do that to her father. Ojoro cancel

Exactly what I was saying. Just because the news is from Lagos doesn't mean ots uoruba men being victimised. The list will have a preponderance of south south men followed by igbo men, I can bet anything on this

Bank work and slavery, you brother no fit take one week leave just to have his marriage?

everything is not a woman's fault

Whatever his problem with his work can be addressed later, perhaps he should be looking for a new one. However, did the woman not know about his work lattern before now? For them to have got to marriage stage they should have spent some time together and known quite a lot about each other. Giving your spouse an ultimatum at this stage is a huge red flag. If their schedules are so incompatible perhaps they should reconsider marriage

If the Yoruba continue to play tribal politics with Tinubu's confirmed criminal forgery, then they should be ready to be called out as a group. The Yoruba must join, infact lead, the effort to KICK Tinubu out of Aso Rock.

In 2023, we should be past petty tribalism.

This is just 4½ years into Tinubu's first tenure, second term still dey dia. I strongly suggest you get over Peter Obi's loss and move on. It would be unfortunate for you to waste 8 years of your life to pointless wailing

You shouldn't be worried about me because I'm not a public toilet, rather you should be worried about your wife cos you're not sure of her past.

I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about impressionable young women and men who might read your posts and be deceived to normalize deception and fraud.

You are too far gone to be worried about. We can only hope to save the younger generation

To confirm he's not being defrauded and raising a bâstard. Super simple logic really, only a fraud would not understand this

The same you men that go about patronizing olosho will come here condemning them. Without you guys there won't be any olosho so you made them therefore deal with it when you marry one. Any man who patronized an olosho during his single days must marry olosho. No two ways about it because like begat like.

It's only someone who married an olosho that will be worried about his childs parternity. Even as a woman, if you know yourself no need to worry if the man says he's going to do a parternity test either secretly or openly. Let him do it. Na him money go waste. Ndi Uch.u

Nigerian men are now well aware of the promiscuity of Nigerian wives and this are carrying out paternity tests in drives. I would advise you not to carry another mas child and give your husband. Even if you won't be embarrassed consider the mental health of your children. A word is enough for the wise

Well, once a DNA test is necessary to vefying trust it means the relationship itself lacked trust. How many people are willing to remain in a relationship where trust has been proven by the need for DNA verification to lack? undecided

So the moment you start thinking you need to DNA test the kids, it means your have near no trust in the relationship yourself and need the DNA verification to convince you to have some in the relationship. Such a man has pretty much checked and is only looking for a reason to completely exit the situation. Even if the tests prove no unfaithfulness, the man who once has no trust left would need to do work in order to revamp his interest in said relationship. undecided

Why are you so passionate against DNA test confirmation? You think a man isn't entitled to know he's not fetching water into a basket? You're beginning to sound suspicious
