No one is easy. passion, persistence and dedication is the key word. without these, you will give up after fighting a bug for one week. Programming is not easy you must be prepared. Nobody pay you alot for doing nothing. so you have to be ready to practice, learn and practice.

Wish you all the best

Spot on. Passion, persistence & dedication

Congratulations girrrl, God's got you.

Lol @the comments above. Honestly, if my SO were to wake me up so he could sleep facing my toes orrr I probably woke up to that position of his, I'll be legit worried. I may not be totally okay with it even after he may have told me his reasons(like the OP's heightened sensitivity) but it won't be all so strange like before so if I ever find him in that position, I know it's cos of x, y or/& z. Gbege go dey if you no fit tell me wetin mek e be laidat, mek I use worry wounjure maisef?!

Back to the OP, I'm sorry I laughed when I read that your gf was crying profusely over this sleeping position of yours. Didn't you explain your heightened sensitivity part to her? About her saying something about unhappy marriage and childlessness, I really do not know where she got that from esp the childlessness part.

The deed has been done. I'm not here to talk about how you & your gf started dating and all that. I presume you're actively looking for ways to resolve these issues.

Here's what I'd say.. You say you've gone with your family for iku-aka-na-uzo(introduction orrr introdonkwa). I know you've been calling and sending text messages across to your gf & her mum but received stern warnings and insults instead. Why not try talking to some elders(from your family/kindred) that they may accompany to your gf's house? Let's start from there and see how it goes.

I just read that your gf's father is late, things could get really crazy there esp her siblings coming at y'all aggressively so please be prepared for that but then also know when to leave. If that doesn't broker peace between you two, just leave them be but don't stop sending money/gifts for your daughter, someone suggested through the human rights welfare team, please do. Dunno but I feel that going to their house with some relatives of yours with very well demystify things, then you'll know the next step to take. About paying your daughter a visit once in a while, I think everything will fall in place in due time, the welfare team will work it out somehow.

Congratulations to you both, cheers to many more years of marital bliss.

Give what you can afford to lose, learnt that the hard way. So you don't get yourself all worked up, if he pays back, fine and if he doesn't(or can't), that's alright.

It's not even about the properties you need to buy which you can't comfortably do until it's next month's payday, it's the fact that you don't even have the money to give your friend and raising it will further put you in debt and till when? February 2022. You know how many months are in January(yes I'm not talking days) and then February, March. January wey dey be like 6months, con add February and March, e go be like sey everything dey standstill. Na from April, pesin dey breathe small.

I know you really wish you could help him settle his bills and believe me that's really thoughtful of you, God sees your heart and will bless you accordingly. This is absolutely beyond you, quit beating yourself up about it. If you can forgo the money even with the uncertainties that abound, knowing fully well how things are with him, then you can go ahead. I've weighed it on my part and I know it's way beyond me, can't afford to be in debt at this point in time. Everybody eye dey chook, country hard no be small.

See UG & Cross who be dis Gideon guy & Papi D'wh.0re lmfaooo @ I'm not a forklift Don't lock my head in with your legs

May her soul rest in perfect peace and may God comfort and strengthen her loved ones.

Always the first cos you've only heard and maybe watched some videos but never been there before. Mine was really crazy, having dreams where family members shook my lifeless body, crying in the hospital ward. For someone who has been hypertensive from a very young age, the nurses kept telling me not to play with my routine drugs cos Eclampsia or Preeclampsia. Those two words scared the sh*t out of me ngl and there was acute Malaria (++), I hate injections so much but I had to take 'em cos it was gonna have a negative effect on my lil bun in the oven.

When I went into labour, my blood pressure shot up to 200+, I was given a glass of water to quickly swallow some pills just to beat it down a bit but no way, the doctor and the nurses were so scared for me cos at a point I just laid still, they tapped me and asked if I was still there(under my breath, I called on my Jesus to take the wheel). In the end, God did it and I pushed out my bouncing baby(who was already tired btw).

Praying for all the pregnant women all over the world that they will deliver safely in healthy condition without any complications. They & their families will have cause to sing praises unto the Lord & glorify His holy name now and forever, Amen.

RoyalBlu:
'First pregnancy' blues .

I can very well relate o.

We thank God for His exceeding grace upon us women.

Child birthing is a wonderful experience!!!

You can say that again oo, my sister.

It's not easy to forgive, neither is it to forget. I for one, has so much anxiety to deal with so I try not to add more baggage to it. When I think deeply about it and maybe cry me a river, I let it go so I can forge ahead. Life goes on.

Rest easy, Sound Sultan.

Kobojunkie:
Stockist has no nutritional value? No be protein again?

Who talk say Pomo no get nutritional value? No be protein and collagen e be?

You're right, Kobo. I take that back.

Lol I'm sorry but this is amusing. I'd have easily picked stockfish for it's little to no nutritional value but like ponmo even I know it has a part to play in my pot of soup.

seunolu7:
Egusi is a soup. A compliment of the meal. I didn't say ewedu is the most popular soup, I said amala is the lost popular food.

Okay I get you. Even at that, Amala is not the most popular Nigerian food. Most popular in the SW, I'll say yes.

Hahahahahahaha I'm number 2, I go dey for Ghana dey cook food for SA, my hand go long ehn but mek oil splash small fess, Usain Bolt no run reach me, even e remain mek I fly.

Number 6 ehnnn, pesin go put something normal normal, e go con be like sey you never put anything, wan spirit go tok "add more", after 5secs "you sure sey e don dey ok, add more now oo mek e follow d water dey boil", after 2mins "d water don dey dry oo, still add small before e dry finish", "ehennn turn am, bring am down". Me that year feeling fulfilled after cooking Jollof rice for the very first time in my life: "Everybody comman eat oo, food is ready".. Everybody: "Mmhmm it sure smells nice, can't wait to taste it".. That spirit telling me to add more cheering me on from where it sat at one corner of the room Me anticipating praises and compliments but you all know how it ended(in hunger ekun egbere slashed allowance and regrets cos I shouldn't have paid attention to that spirit in the first place). 6000years of suffering for that spirit Don't beg me, I'm still in sifia pains oo.

Omooo, that Eba dey enter my eye. I no dey use eye see okro, others can go please, tenkiu. Dear rice, I still lurh you but for this matter, my intestines are tied not my hands so keh mabinu

Miracood2:
Pick one

To the OP, I think the most popular Nigerian food after Jollof rice is B(you just have to give it to Egusi, alot of people love theirs with Pounded yam, some Semo, some Fufu, wheat sef dey, then Eba). Some mix theirs with draw soup(mostly ogbono), some use Ugu leaves, some moringa leaves, some onugbu and some uziza. I don't really like Egusi soup but it is a very popular Nigerian delicacy. Who no know Egusi abeg?! Even if you never chop am, you for don see where pesin dey chow am lol.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Very very yummy! God bless you OP. I particularly love it with goat meat or cowleg Brokoto and I love the beautiful colour contrast.

If you want to invest in the local food industry, please kindly bring such investment to Lagos.

As for Ewedu, I love love it so so very much! Especially with iru woro. Incidentally, many don't even know that Ewedu(Jute leaves) delicacy is a global meal and so much loves for its taste and high nutritional value. The Egyptians, Asians even prepare it like a drink and enjoy it warm with its characteristic mucilage.

I love it too, especially when the Amala is very hot, and yes to ogunfe ati inu eran.

KingEverest:
Wats the green stuff around the amala

Lol that's ewedu(blended jute leaves)

Woww youdonmeannit?! Tenkiu oo, we learn everyday.

Emperormartin:
Education is verse and we all learn in different ways. But some of the things we know now we learnt it in an unconventional ways and that’s the essence of this thread…

Which English word, phrase or sentence did you learn in a funny way?

Mine is “Nincompoop”

Our Principal in my high school days when pissed off by our doings will just say “all of you are Nincompoop”
Sometimes we clap for him and hail him for using those big words on us.
This particular word has sticked in my head ever since.

Share yours….

Sorry I can't now remember any of such so I came here to laugh after reading the boldened

I'm guessing your friend went to see a doctor who further advised him to do a lab test. If the result says it is a gonorrheal infection which is transmitted through se.xual intercourse, then he must've gotten it from his significant other. If he's still in doubt, he could go to another lab, if it's the same outcome then he really does have gonorrhea.

I see you're asking how he can approach his wife on this matter without her being dramatic, turning it on him and playing the victim card. I like the fact that he has booked an appointment with a doctor, let him start from there, maybe tell her the doctor wants to see them both and the earlier the better(just anything to make her go with him, like the doctor said nothing other than it's a life-or-death situation and she has to be present lol, all these with what I call a "miserable" face) so she has to make out time from her very busy schedule. I'm sure the doctor will take it up from there. I hope the infidelity ends there and really not lead to a life-threatening condition.

Another life cut short in the most horrific way, so sad.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Wellington, 4yrs down, many more years of marital bliss to go.

Birthday blessings Daddy J & Don J, wishing you both many happy returns.

Since you already have a passion for lecturing, why not go for the lecturing job. You will have more time for yourself compared with factory work as you also continue to build a career in that line. You may also pursue your MSc with time as you continue to grow in the lecturing path.
The monetary gain may not be encouraging at the onset but you won't regret the decision if you remain diligent and focused. My 10k advice

Yess OP, take this advice, all of it.

Adedamola6:

One night I told her I like her bed o
She replied" I like your floor o"...Lolll

"I like your floor o" kaiiiii razor mouth

A cousin of mine use to call an uncle who bears the name oke, "Oke Rat" and the uncle will reply in igbo obu Nne gi na Nna gi bu "Oke Rat". Actually his name is Okechukwu but we do call him Oke for short form.

Hahahahahahaha Oke Rat, m ga eke nwa ahu okpo na isi makachi kere mu na ya

Tf is "one day, his tenant came with some boys, they macheted him, they poured fuel on him and lit him up and that was how he died...that day was Sunday and not everyone was around...later we took him to hospital in Enugu and that was how he died"?! She really doesn't know what day her husband was brutalized? How about the day he died..in the hospital??

Since October, and nobody heard about this really? Even the police who knew about it from the onset said the matter is still sketchy wow just wowww. It's indeed an unfortunate incident and if truly Chiadiobi is the culprit, he & his gang should face judgement. I hope, really do hope that justice prevails if not for anything, for their deceased beloved advocate.
