My wife was studying at Kadpoly at that time, she stayed with her Uncle off campus........

I was accused of all sorts, kidnapping, getting her pregnant etc etc etc

Kaduna is a small town, our secret marriage was a major scandal within the Yoruba community, my oga was also accused of all sorts .......

Her parents stayed in Ibadan, the news spread like wildfire...... Considering the fact that prior to this secret marriage, I had never spoken to my in-laws, nor meet them.......

I had to call my in-laws, apologized to them, clearly stated my position/intentions and why we had to conduct the marriage etc etc ......

Silver jubilee is around the corner...... I have never reported her to parents, they have never intervened in our union, likewise my wife ...... We are buddies, just like biological siblings...... People might deem it an exaggeration, but we have never had an argument or raised voices....... We might have one in the future, which I seriously doubt ........



Love love this! Congratulations boss

Make I try ......

Meet this very pretty lady in Kaduna, the very moment I saw her, I knew immediately she was my lost rib .......

Now the problem, how do I get her over to the UK, either visiting visa or permanently ?

Visiting visa, would never be granted.... So spousal visa, was the only option.... Spousal visa then was under £200 (believe it or not)...... No IHS nonsense or similar taxations, now imposed......

So my Oga at the time organised the registry marriage etc etc... I flew over from the UK to Kaduna, with a few of my friends from the UK and my sister.......

Got to Kaduna, did the secret marriage, returned back to the UK, feeling fly ....... Until alarm gas .......

Awww beautiful story. Good to hear it all worked out.

These days, this waka is too risky, the person can come and be a totally nightmare or can come and you just won't be compatible

I think when the money is much the greed level increases. Tho I have not had any of these issues. I have only used 2 or 3 people for p2p. there is one person i have been selling to since last year. If the person no de online I no de sell. The person de mostly de online weekend, so I just keep my sale to weekend. In fact some weekend the person fit no come and I go just let am go. I have had one near scam, But I immediately reported to binance when payment was not made and story won start de enter the transaction. £1500 And yes, it was a Nigerian person. I no even do my country person with am, I just report immediately when him story of bank delay and all that start.

My advice to the anyone wey won do UK P2P is to avoid 3rd party payment and do small transaction (£300 to £500 max). Read the peson intro and make sure say the person self no want 3rd party payment. So that you can always present the binance trade chat as proof of trading transaction. Too many greedy people.

A 2.0 petrol is a “large” engine in UK.
Target cars with 1-1.4
Check admiral insurance, although you’ll be given a plug-in box to put in your car that tracks your driving styles

This is the reason Binance froze many Nigerian accounts........

Rather than Nigerian's facing the realities on ground, they opened a hashtag, accusing Binance of fraud.......

Binance released a press statement, that silenced them forever............ grin

I feel the need.........
........... The need for speed.


Driving in a straight line is fairly easy. The hard part is stopping/slowing down appropriately, existing motorway etc.

Doing 60-70 on a 40-50 exit gives me joy.

NB


Don't try this at home. I have extensive driving experience and I don't do it unless necessary.

You can have mechanical failure and no matter your experience/skill you will still crash.
