Their own still better. Friends for UK go dey fight say "come stay our side when you come o" and its not for anything but for the fact they know you will bring some change along when coming.
If you don't know much you will think your boys are showing you love.....not knowing na survival skills.

chaircover: LOL yesterday my oyibo work colleague insisted on giving me back the 10p that she owed me. I said No like a hundred times and just gave up . . .10P!

My naija peeps when we go to the canteen for lunch whoever gets to the till first pays. No big deal.

Its their culture. If another parent is taking his kid somewhere and offers to take my kid (same journey o!) I will still offer/give petrol money. I am used to them now. When I am invited for dinner, I take a bottle of wine with me.

The latest fad Naija people are doing here now is to say "no children" at weddings and events like the oyibos do. For those, I just sit in my house jeje. . . I cant be looking for babysitter to look after my kids because I want to eat over oiled jollof rice, hard meat & 1000 degree hot pepper soup on one paper clothed shaky table

Lol!

Or kids birthday invites that invite just that one kid of yours and not the entire siblings + family members.

Took quite a bit of getting used to, but I understand where they come from jare. A couple of years ago, I hosted my sons birthday parties at our local fusion health / sporting centre. I went for the fullworks - 45 mins worth of soft play, 45 mins party time (with food pre-paid and specially made at their canteens), and 1 hour's worth of swimming at the hydro-therapy pool.

To say I was very meticulous with the arrangements nor be small thing. 2-3 weeks prior to each party, I sent out the range of party food on offer along with their invites asking them to select their choice of meal: Chicken and chips / Fish fingers and chips / sausage and chips / pizza or the vegetarian option. Same thing with the drinks - fizzy, orange juice, apple juice or milk. Deadline to return choice + include your contact telephone number (I nor wan do nanny service for 'late' parents)

Sibling's weren't allowed as we had a strict number to cater for as per due to Health and Safety, no more than X number of children were allowed at any one time into the soft play area / party area for meals and of course, into the pool. Kids had to be 7 and above to enter the water unsupervised

The well meaning Naija parents that came along wanting to help were like: "Ah! This is so well organised, there's nothing left for us to do!"

Oh, and on the invites a specific time was given: 4pm - 7pm. Bring your swim costumes along!

CC, c finishing!
Baddest mouth. U suppose dey act alongside Patience Ozorkwor! U will ever hv something to reply her caustic mouth.

RR, u r so correct. Things r hard for my pple out there. Survival of d fittest. Hubby has met a nigerian whose wife do aristo work in london. OMG!
He said he suddenly fell sick in d stomach. My problem is why r they still there? Don't they hv village? At least they can go to their village naw.

If u ever find urself in Europe and u they gat to know u r a govt worker, that is when u will know boys rnt smiling at all.

Pple hv been telling me what r w still doing in naija but my dear, I'm very very realistic person. There r conditions I must meet b4 I can comfortably bundle my family out of naija else, we dey here kamkpe. The things I've seen scares me a lot. I don't want to be a victim.

Good morning all.

EFeeeeeeeeeeeemaaaa!!!!!!

I can't believe I'm just discovering this way into page 114 (I really need to get a life). I guess it's too late to introduce myself. That's like walking into a party in full swing at 4 am in the morning. Maybe I'll just try my best to get into the mood and start break dancing or something

Royal Roy - collect gate fee from serubawon if he doesn't introduce himself

@CC
Talk about hard chicken - in this my old age
@Efemena
Wow that's some seriously detailed party you had there

chaircover:

The latest fad Naija people are doing here now is to say "no children" at weddings and events like the oyibos do.

So true!Went for my close family friend's wedding 2 years ago
She of course had the "no children allowed" rule on the IV and in addition had
"For gifts,please get a gift card from ..... store or come with a monetary gift.thank you"
I think the latter is cool though,no one wants 20 deep fryers as gift

DutchesSsS: I'm really depressed....I want to end my life, I'm tired of it all...

.
DutchesSsS,pls don't think of harming yourself...share the problem with us.

Dem dey collect gate fee again? O ga o. Salsera, na fight?

I looked critically into LIFE, just four letter word, very simple to pronounce, easy to spell but it is a mystery. Nobody ever prepared for it, we just consciously found ourselves in this life full of ups and downs. We are a stranger in a strange world where everything looks strange. You have to learn their languages in order to communicate, food to survive, shelter for protection and other things. Truly, life is the survival of the fittest. The fittest? Yes.
The existence of every being is not by mistake but for a purpose(sun,moon,water body: they also are products of purpose).
In the course of our living, we are confronted by all sorts of things that threaten our existence, which may leads to death. Then why life? Everybody holds a certain belief about life. Personally, my philosophy about life is: LIFE IS WHATEVER YOU THINK IT IS. if you think it is good, it attracts goodness and if it is otherwise, it attracts otherwise.
...............To be continued...........

now my familly people,una goodafrun please i need some advice,
My aunt,that's like my cousins wife,she's got no children and has been married for seven years to him and my cousin treats her badly,anytime i try talking to him on phone he in turn calls my father to tell me to stay clear of his family,but seriously i can't help but talk.
Some months ago when i visited them,with my eyes i saw him push and insult her which made her cry,it hurt me seeing her cry,ok last month he said he wanted to come to my house in abuja,and i prayed and fasted for that alone,he's violent and commanding and its known in the family,but they still tell her to stay and stick to him even when she wants to go,she says she's tired and personally i support her though i haven't spilled out yet,so family people what will you advice.

roy which are you in your dp,just don't mind me but mind my question

No woman deserves to be treated that way. I see men like that and I feel like physically beating them up. I wouldn't tolerate someone treating my mom, sister or daughter that way. Personally, I believe that men like that are just bullies and need a like minded woman who will make his life a living hell. I know it's hard for a woman to leave her matrimonial home, but if it's for her own safety, then she should leave. I wish there was an easy fix to it, but there isn't. If she has brothers that are truly men, they need to stand up to her husband or he's going to hurt her badly some day.

@serubobo

Rules of the house, introduce yourself

I no dey fight - thats why i avoid politics section

@Tinkybabe my bad

Thank you my sister. Yes, I don show face. Not married yet. Introduction was done last weekend. We should be tying the knot in January, God willing. I'm blessed.

mysticgal: roy which are you in your dp,just don't mind me but mind my question

The first one.

Second head is my bro. Jeff

Hello fun room....@pickabeau na Christmas turkey o, I like that Efe's recipe as it's like Fusion turkey (naija +English).That English Turkey Roast is just too dry joor.
Efe pls (in yoruba culture its rude to ask how many children one has) but excuse my curiosity 4 Turkeys seems alot , is your battalion that large ni cos I saw your menu and seems like you have so many other extras.Or do you host guests as well?

And that your kids party was oyinbo party jooor. .At typical naija parties we bring all the siblings, daddy, mummy, grandma, grandpa, cousins, nephews, nieces .

CC you use style wicked small though you are right jare.I did not even want to come you now say no kids, good excuse my childcare arrangement cancelled on me short notice.My husband rarely eats at parties cos thanks to the recession every bola, helen and sikira in the UK is now a caterer (sorry if those are anyone's real names).Ahhann some jollof and fried rice at naija parties eh .

@Dutchess Life is a gift, a very precious one at that.Whatever you are going through realise that no condition is ever permanent. This too shall pass.Life is full of ups and Downs and our trials sometimes are experiences we need to make us stronger.Pls dont allow those thoughts thrive, pls and pls.

YPP happy birthday in advance

its so sad.

Women who are TTC need extra care and attention. Not threats and harsh treatment.
Talk to your mum or other aunts.
Let them reason with ur sister in law.
If your cousin is tired of her then he should let her go instead of disrespecting her and making her unhappy.

Please talk to elderly women in your family so they talk to him accordingly.
