Take that #100,000 to Domino Pizza and give yourself a good treat, then go to boutique with the balance and pick some clothes and be happy.

Lmaoooo and then you'll help pay his bills as well as cater for his family right

Amazing feat.. Chi, congratulations to you & your dad.

Wahala be laik wetin again.. He whom the gods wishes to destroy, they first make mad.. You called your friends to go beat up someone, una beat am finish e no do you, baba leave im bike run, you still follow am bumper-to-bumper.. He picked up a knife to scare you off, you didn't give up, you saw death but you wanted to sha make a big statement and well you have now.. If you could go to that extent just to teach someone a lesson then that means something must give at the end, unfortunately it had to be you.. Your friends seeking for revenge now should've stopped you at some point and just maybe this wouldn't have happened in the first place..

R.I.P Mr. Osinowo.. My people, please learn to live and let live.

Dating a coworker hmmm.. Well If she says she's fixed, I think you should leave her be.. Going by her choice of words, I do not advise you to press further.. It could get really awkward between you two now but it'll be alright.

Nah, Greg will definitely creep me out.. It should've been someone she knew; an acquaintance or something, a coworker.

Farewell, Prophet T.B Joshua.

Can't remember how old I was then but I was rushing out and then the sharp edge of our broken door handle tore right into my flesh.. I was in sifia pains, I couldn't go out again cos my forearm was hurting so bad.. Many years later, the scar is still there.

You fear he might leave you if you don't earn up to his financial expectations? Lol really.. Talking stage, hmm I'm guessing you both are still trying to get to know each other.. I don't get why you're this scared, your emotions are all over the place already dear.. It's really very simple cos at the end of the day he'll stay if he wants to and will leave if it pleases him, even if it takes weeks, monthss orr yearsss.

Shoes that have trekked d whole Lagos

Haha lol yes, they are all mad(making a difference)

For me, cornrows anytime any day.. Important occasions, my wig comes out to play yayy otherwise I go out with my cornrows orrr other simple protective hairstyles which costs me say 5h - 1k.

Asiseeit:
Well, it's not necessarily about the hair. It's about the cost of them rendering the service to you. They'll buy fuel, pay rent(which is now high) pay PHCN (increased rate) and still make enough to care for themselves and family. When cost of living increases, it touches everything

Well said.

Afriqan:
The pursuit of perfection leads to unparalleled improvement, so it won't lead to stagnation if approached with the right mindset.

Albeit, trying to achieve a 100% performance in all cases is foolish. The society itself is preprogrammed with flaws.

Yes, I love your analogy.. With emphasis on the "right mindset" & then your last paragraph..

I actually do not think that perfection impedes improvement at all, it shouldn't but then some people go about it the wrong way.. Sometimes things don't go as planned and yes no one wants that to "ever" happen but it does anyway.. Some people stay mad, angry and frustrated at themselves(maybe cos they feel horrified about the outcome) until they don't even know when they start to transfer aggressions on other people; ruining good partnerships, awesome friendships & cordial relationships, slowly they turn out to be really toxic and lose great support system & connections..

I feel we should rather learn from our mistakes, go back to the drawing board & restrategize instead of wasting so much time dwelling on our shortcomings.. Perfectionist or not, nobody is above setbacks, anything can happen anytime; things could get out of control, some we absolutely have no control over and that's okay.. Also let's be humble, nobody knows it all, we're all just trying to figure life out & things yh.

jlomz:

I was 7 or so.

For some weird reason that morning, I decided I wasn't going to school.

Mom tried all she could to get me to get myself ready for school.

She pleaded. Threatened. Shouted.

But I was having none of it.

I wanted to stay home because one of my best friends from next compound was also home, so we'd play all we wanted.

So I dodged and dodged.

Mom became furious. Already, she was running late for work.

One thing led to another, a busy body neighbor took hold of me and handed me over to her.

Guys, the beating I received that day... it laid part of the foundations of who I am today.

That was the first real beating I had ever received from my mom. And she made sure she made a statement with it.

It took the efforts of neighbors, including the busy body neighbor that had earlier handed me to her, to pry me out of her hands and hurriedly dressed me up and set me enroute school.

For the first time in my life, I had gone to school without eating breakfast.

When I got home that afternoon, mom was already so worried about me that she started crying all over again and gave me double portions of everything eatable.

She was my best friend.

She's late now though.

Awwwn.. May her soul continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord.

Last thing before I step out.. Now a part of me, with time that will change.

Hey guys, I feel this has happened once in almost every Nigerian home, have you ever been teased by your mom and sister’s especially when helping them to do house chores like maybe pounding pepper for them while In the kitchen, and you get to hear them say words like; hmm pound well so that when you get married you’ll be helping your wife pound pepper . For me I will then tell them to leave me alone that I would not get married, it felt so weird and creepy and they’ll all start laughing Lol guys share yours.

something I enjoy doing haha.. My brother is tired of us all When he gets pissed, I'll continue teasing him til I see that smile start forming on his lips lol

LIVINGICON:
You have to tweak your mindset. You have to be positive and very optimistic about life. Everything begins from the inside. Then manifest on the outside.

Be positive.

Exactly.

Take Hathor5 's advice, that is exactly what I'll tell anyone irrespective of their gender, genuinely looking for a life partner on here and otherwise.. Tread carefully is all I will add to that.

BurntDodo:
Thank you. My blood pressure is 120/70. My breathing got worse and the headaches are killing my eyes. I've done every treatment and now I'm tired. Maybe it's my time to go. I'm just living life now like tomorrow is my last. There are some sights I want to see overseas I wish I could see them but maybe in my next life, I'll just happen to live a stone throw away from them.

Oh dear, I'm so very sorry about how you feel.. Going by your posts, I see you've been through a whole lot, some things got really messed up.. It's been tough, I know we keep hoping that everything gets better and that someday it will all make sense but buttt we ain't there yet & some can't hold out for too long; many are tired, utterly exhausted..

Honestly, I still think that something is wrong somewhere but if you've practically been in and out of different medical facilities and they can't seem to find out the root cause(s) of these symptoms you're having, then I dunno what to think or say at this point..

I do wish that you get total & complete healing soon, I wish that you really get to visit those places you so desire to and also do the things that brings you so much joy.. Please take care.

Benard5050:
I sprayed so close 2 me

Owhh yeah I did quite think about that.. It came on really strong probably why you didn't sneeze.. Good, you found your way out for more oxygen, that was the best move you made.

Sorry about that, it is indeed scary.. It could be that you were reacting to the spray but then you say it's not the first time you're using it.. Any chance you sprayed so much? I dunno but thank God for your neighbours that came just in time to help.

KanuSE:
What are those brown stuff that looks like dry grass?

Brown grass kwa lol that's oil bean.. Ukpaka orr Ugba.

Hmmm let's see..

I may not know all you've put into this relationship but after reading some here I'll say you're doing well as a loving boyfriend maybe underappreciated yh you could subtly point that out.. See, it really doesn't have to come to this.. Her siblings are like the only family she has, her closest blood relation; they've gone a long way & they've been through alot.. She shouldn't have to choose between you & her siblings, please don't make it difficult than it is already.. Her siblings may not be it but they are still her family, they're like the only family she's got..

I know you go extra miles for her and willing to do extra extra extra yhh and that's because you do love her & want the very best for her butttt you still need to understand her better, be more considerate, be more empathetic.. You're being logical but logic doesn't really cut it or maybe it will in a way, I suggest you don't dismiss her or shut her down whenever she talks about her siblings or wants to do stuff with orr for them.. Try to be more accommodating, even if you feel you cannot or do not want to get along with them, do not speak ill of them.. That way, things won't be so complicated

About placing her siblings above her hubby & children haha lol it won't really be like that.. Be it what it may, please do not try to come in between her & siblings, dem go use you settle laslas lol.

Happy birthday Abimbola.. At this point, maybe you should let him be.. Don't lose your job over this, it's so hard to come by one these days.

Shebi you use am graduate?

The young shall grow, gbammm hw u tek know Na vex I tek dey wear am dey go but when I reach sch laidis I go jus endure am because e get some people wey I better pass and I dey use hand hol' laff if I see dem for assembly, atleast ah nur too loss for inside the uniform

Please take her to the hospital, if you truly mean it orr atleast tell her to go seek medical attention asap.

Just don't lose focus.. God no go shame you but no go shame yourself.

Lori iro.. OP, haba o de beru olorun smh

Hahahaha this guyyy na my primary 1 school uniform vex me gan and popsy been wan snap me with im camera for morning, I no gree smile at all.

6 whole years, why did you wait this long? All these while, you didn't see any change and you went ahead with this..

"Raw is sweet yh and why not?! you both are in a committed relationship & there's this mutual trust", these are the excuses but look what happened now, no one is ever prepared for the possible outcome, no one.. If the lady wasn't good enough for you, you should've put your feet down at some point.. Promises, I know our word is our bond but then actions speak louder than voice anytime any day, I'm sure you knew that but you didn't act on it..

If you feel you both have irreconcilable differences then it's okay to cut her loose.. I am not one to "force" a partner on anybody for whatever reasons, we all deserve to be loved, to be valued, to be treated nicely, to be happy, to have peace of mind, to be respected yes we deserve 'em all and as such we should not be a reason for someone's pain, sadness & eternal sorrow..

Have that sit-down discussion with her, talk about it.. The child must be cared for, in every sense of the word.. He's the first for both of you, he didn't ask for all of this so please you both lay down plans, set things straight.. For animosity, I cannot say but what I do know is that she will be hurt, crushed.. Whatever you do, do it right.

Omoo e get d kain vex wey enter my body one night, I locked myself inside my room til morning.. Ebi ti fe pami and dey wia calling me to comman eat o.
