It's better to stay single and be the best LovePeddler you can be as a bachelor or spinster, than get married and pretend to be something else....unah no dey hear word, to be married is no longer an achievement.

Not true. Have you not heard singles who kill themselves over lovers? Desperation is higher at this single hood than when you are married.

Let's be prayerful that our death would not be sudden. This couple's case is so pathetic and won't encourage many to go into marriage.
However, there are still happy families around us. Their news don't travel farther like the bad ones.

“Thom, I have removed it, this is the 5th time. Pls, let's avoid mistakes next time.”

It was in 2002, I was still in the high school. We were just all boys in the house back then save mum. My two sisters were not living with us, so most home chores are done by us. We did have a sharing formular though you are at liberty to swap your day or chores with the other person for a tip.

We usually tipped ourselves with food, some pockets money and keeping mute whenever you commit a crime- this crime must be kept a secret between the offender and the eyewitness in the house. This is how far we did go to build trust among ourselves.

At that time, having a phone like the one in the picture below is a luxury-though it is still now. You must have finished with high school before dad could permit getting you one let alone registering a SIM card for you.

The eldest, Thomas (not real name, just for identity sake) was just 22, a second year in the University studying Mathematics and Statistics, was the only one dad got a phone. Also due to his stay in school, as he did come home during semester break alone. Our dad fancy communications with his children. That is seen from the moment we wake up for morning devotion till night devotion, so you cannot be missing so far you are not in the school.

During one semester break, Thomas came home, I had to stay awake in the night to be able to access his phone. He did guide his phone with all jealousy, passwording it, and keeping it beneath his well laiden pillow. The phone is always on silence except the morning call alarm set to wake him up by 05:00.

I tried my luck to see if I could use the phone. The first thing I had to battle with is how to take the phone from where he kept it and also accessing it since he had not given me the password.

I was successful with the first which is taking it from beneath his pillow. But guessing the password will be a one against million chances. I tried the general 0000, then 1234, I didn't have to guess the third too far because it was just his birth year. Just right there, the phone opened, I felt like a genius.

I have been operating dad's Nokia phone especially whenever the old man wants to send SMS, check a contact, or check his call balance, I was his Nokia-go-to expert. Thomas's phone won't be difficult to navigate.

The first thing as usual, someone will like to check on such kind of phones is your messages. Yeah, the smartphones encourages people nowadays to go directly to your WhatsApp, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, etc. But those old phones gave no much options as the latest phones.

Bummmm! It popped up. The six message when you scroll down. It read:

“Thom, I have removed it, this is the 5th time. Pls, let's avoid mistakes next time.”

Whaooo, you mean my brother? A one time assistance Sunday school superintendent? One who had onetime on Children's Day Celebration in the church ministered to more than 200 congregants? So Thomas is not as I think he is?I kept on asking rhetorically.

At morning devotion, I kept looking at him as a wayward person. I kept imagining things. You mean he has done 5 abortions. How much more with other girls in his school. I kept looking for other clues. I searched his bags, nothing come close. The bags were filled with textbooks, church tracts and manuals. No condom, no club or party invitation cards, no sign of those. Then I resigned to faith that Thomas must be a pretender.

I couldn't hold on any more, I told dad what I saw. Mum was confused. She could vouched to her last breath for Thomas. She would be his last and only defensor in the court. She cares less but not accusing his first son.

Dad took up the case, collected the phone. Interrogated him. But he kept denying that he never did any abortion neither did he have any girlfriend in school.

Then dad called the number, hoping to hear the voice to counter the ‘I have no girlfriend part'. Alas, it was a guy like him who picked. Then dad spoke with him and introduced himself as Thomas's father. He explained that he saw a message on his (Thomas) phone and he needed some clarity.The friend on the phone obliged to give concrete explanation.

Dad asked about the text and what warranted such from a guy to guy, as he was expecting it should be a lady and a guy.

His friend then laughed and said that he sent Thomas the message after removing the water storage bucket they did use for storing temporal water. He explained the challenges they sometimes encounter in school to get water in their dorms when going for early hour class lecture.

Thomas kept the bucket outside while fetching water but forgot to take it in before he departed home for the break. His friend arrived later to find out it was broken. That was the fifth time they would be replacing the bucket due to their lackadaisical attitude and forgetfulness.

At this point, my nerves rested, everyone smiled but me. Dad appreciated him for taking his time to clear the air.

The meeting ended with dad encouraging us to be well behaved and be cautious in our daily dealings.

This scene disturbed me until someone was able to give clear explanation of what I saw on my brother's phone.

This too shall soon pass.

Once we had Ebola, Lassa, zika Virus.

No permanent pandemic.

oluspicy:
The husband is so correct. He does not owe your family any financial aid anymore. His only responsibility is you and your children, not you and your family.

Once married, everything is about your marriage you're about to create. Your parents are not his responsibility.

And just like the way he took charge about the trad wedding of you must also be done by your brother. Your husband should not be paying for your brother's wedding.

How can you even ask when he didn't pay for yours?

The home is not peaceful now, what can they do? I think this is where the real question lies.

She needs your advice :

I got married 8months ago, my hubby earns 70k monthly while I am yet to get a job, during our wedding ceremony, hubby spent about 580k on the list given to him for the trad wedding, I persuaded my parents to reduce the list but they said it is a must and a tradition.He was able to raise it � as I wasnt working and I couldn't help financially.

After marriage I suggested that he should be sending something monthly to my parent as he did send to his parent too, but to my surprise the reply he gave me was that he didn't owe my parent anything that they have collected all they are entitled to from him.

Initially I was not angry about that until my younger brother wanted to get married and his bride family gave him list of things for the traditional wedding which is amounted to 400k.

My dad then shared the expenses and told my husband to contribute 120k towards my brother's wedding but to my surprise, my husband said no and told me that my family has collected all they wanted during our wedding and they shouldn't come to him for any financial assistance.
This got me angry and I told him that he is not responsible.

Ever since then, we have been living like strangers in the house, he doesn't talk to me, he has just been keeping to himself, and I have never seen him this way before not even in our 2yrs of courting.

Please our mummies and daddies kindly advise me on what to do to savor the situation, I am in between my husband and my family.

360degreess:
Nice cooked story

But you could trace the link to verify.
That is why source to the info was provided.

JustBeingFrank:
Hmmm. Religion, the invisible chain.

So invincible. Made and machined by man to enslave his fellow men.

Losing my virginity.

I am an Arab living in an Arab country. In other words, my virginity is sacred. In fact, if I lose my virginity unmarried, big chance I'm welcoming eternal shame and belittling. I might even get divorced if my future husband finds out he's not my first. I won't be killed because my parents aren't barbaric. But I will definitely be shamed to no end and treated no better than a bug.

So why on earth would I commit such an obvious mistake?

A couple years back, I knew I was no longer a Muslim. . I was suicidal because I had no options. I couldn't live the way I wanted. I was always a hypocrite. Always pretending to be something I'm not. There was no way I would tell my family about my change in views. There was no way they will let me do what I want. There was no way I'm going to get married to a non-Muslim like me without a world war. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't face the universe. I'm not some superhero. I am a weak person. All I wanted was the end.

But if I were to end it, why not experience the pleasure of sex beforehand?

As I said before, I was really starved for affection and love. And at that time, I happened to meet a man that I liked a lot. He was very gentle and nice. “Liked him” is probably an understatement. I was really fond of him. And I was at the end of my rope. Somehow, I wanted to give my all in this half-relationship of ours. I wanted to get him to love me. And if it all fails, does it matter? What will happen? I'll throw myself out of the window and end this pointless life. When you're desperate, you are the bravest, boldest, and craziest you'll ever be.

So I told him I wanted to do it. He asked me repeatedly if I'm sure. He knew my background and what kind of disaster this can bring on me. But I told him I have nothing to lose. It's fine.

The moment it happened, I started crying uncontrollably. I wasn't in pain at all… not physically at least. But all I could think of is “that's it. I've really done it. What's going to happen to me now? There's no marrying an Arab in my future”.

For the months that followed I continued in this informal relationship where we both really liked each other but given the circumstances couldn’t be in a relationship.

I was scared for months, thinking “now what?”.

I had no idea whether I will regret my stupid mistake or not.

Months later, that man had to leave Kuwait. I told myself “there you go. You lost your virginity for what? A moment of pleasure? He's leaving and god knows what will happen from now on".

On the day he was leaving I went to see him for the last time. We had a very passionate goodbye and hugged plenty.

And right before he left, he whispered to me “I love you". I said “what did you just say?”. I blamed it on my ears. He said “you heard me”. I was shocked but happy. I told him that I loved him too.

We continued a long distance relationship for a year after that. And now, we're married !

It could've gone terribly wrong. It could've been my most regrettable mistake. But it wasn't. It was the best risk I've ever taken !

KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA:
As a foreigner, you won’t be granted rights of citizenship in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia’s government is keen to protect the status quo and doesn’t want to compromise its cultural values or standard of living by allowing foreigners to become a permanent part of society. Your only route to becoming a naturalised citizen is by marriage to a national; even this, however, doesn’t guarantee citizenship, particularly for non-Muslims.

VATICAN CITY:
Citizenship in the country is not based on birth but granted only to those who reside in the Vatican because of their work or office. Cardinals who live in Vatican City or Rome as well as diplomats of the Holy See are also considered citizens.

BHUTAN
The Himalayan nation of Bhutan is known for measuring its success by its National Happiness index rather than GDP. It is one of the most isolated countries in the world.

The country didn't open to tourism until 1974 and continues to regulate and monitor travel to the country closely, so you can imagine that the immigration process is not easy.

It takes two Bhutanese parents to be born a citizen , and if you only have one, you have to apply for naturalized citizenship after you have lived in Bhutan for 15 years. The 15-year requirement also applies to government employees.

Those with non-Bhutanese parents who don't work for the government may apply after living in the country for 20 years, as long as you meet a list of requirements, including no record of speaking or acting against the king or country. If you do that in the future, your citizenship can be rescinded.

Even if you meet the requirements, Bhutan reserves the right to reject you for any or no reason.

REPUBLIC OF CHINA
The Nationality law of china allows foreigners to try become naturalized citizens if they have relatives who are Chinese citizens, have settled in China, or "have other legitimate reasons."

If you don't have a relative who's a Chinese citizen and lives in China, your chances of becoming a Chinese citizen are slim. According to the CIA, while naturalization is possible, it is extremely difficult. Long-term residency is required but not specified.

QATAR
If your father is not Qatari , then neither are you, even if your mother is, according to Doha News. If you have been a legal resident of Qatar for 25 years without leaving the country for more than two consecutive months (among other requirements), you can apply for citizenship.

The Doha News reported that Qatar only naturalizes about 50 foreigners a year. Additionally, naturalized citizens are not treated the same way under the law as citizens born in Qatar, likely because the country provides very generous government benefits that would be costly to extend to all citizens.

KUWAIT
According to the Nationality law of kuwait , after living in Kuwait for 20 years (15 for citizens of other Arab countries), you can apply to be granted Kuwaiti citizenship, but only if you are Muslim by birth or conversion. If you converted, you must have been practicing for five years. You must also speak Arabic fluently.

The Nationality law also states that the wife of a Kuwaiti man can ask to become a citizen after being married for 15 years.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
The UAE, home to the sparkling city of Dubai, will let you apply to be a citizen if you have legally resided in the Emirates for 30 years, according to the CIA .

Federal Law No. 17 states that if you are an Arab citizen from Oman, Qatar, or Bahrain, you can apply for naturalization after three years of residency. Arabs from other countries are eligible after seven years of residence in the UAE. Descendants of Emirate parents are eligible for citizenship if they were born of known or unknown parents within the state.

Currently, women with UAE citizenship married to foreign men cannot pass it to their children, according to a UN report. A 2011 decree allows those children to apply for citizenship when they reach age 18.

LIECHTENSTEIN
Liechtenstein, a tiny, mountainous country between Austria and Switzerland, has a population of just under 40,000 - and the country's immigration policy appears to aim to keep it small.

If you want to become a citizen, you need to live in Liechtenstein for at least 30 years, with each year before you turn 20 counting as two years. If you're married to a Liechtenstein citizen and already live in the country, that time period is shortened to five years of marriage.

If you want a shortcut from the 30-year residency requirement, you can ask your community to vote you in after 10 years.

Regardless of method, you'll have to give up your current citizenship.

JOHN PRIEST: Imagine surviving the Titanic by swimming through the arctic water with nothing more than a pair of shorts, then being one of the only survivors out of your 70 friends being blown up in WWI, and then escaping another sinking ship on the coast of Greece.
This was a reality for John Priest- a British stoker (someone who puts coal into the ships’ furnaces) who survived so many ship crashes by the skin of his teeth that he was nicknamed the unsinkable stoker by the media.
Born in 1877 in a working class district in Southampton, England, it seemed like John naturally had luck on his side. In 1912 when jobs become increasingly rare thanks to strikes and riots, John was one of the very few who was able to get a job as a Stoker onboard the Olympic, spending hours a day hauling coal into massive furnaces for a few shillings an hour.
It was there when one of John's nine lives were spent. When the Olympic collided into the HMS Hawk in 1911, John was nearly killed on immediate impact. However, being the lucky sonofabitch he was, John slipped away at the right moment, sparing him being one of the 576 men who died that day. Incredibly, this wasn't his first close call with death. He had previously worked aboard a ship called the Asturias that was badly damaged in a collision on its maiden voyage.
After surviving two ship crashes you would expect that maybe it was time to find a new career.
However, John decided to take a job on the Titanic simply because it seemed “safer” than other ships. And who could blame him. The Titanic was a massive cruise-liner, with thick walls and virtually indestructible. Hell, the Titanic was nicknamed “the unsinkable” by its crew. No way in hell could something like the Titanic topple to the bottom of the sea.
They were wrong. On Sunday, the 14th of April 1912, the Titanic hit a whopping iceberg off Newfoundland. Unlike the passengers who had very little knowledge of what was going on, the stokers down in the boiler room were going through literal hell. Icy water poured through the cracks drowning workers and furnaces alike—John and his comrades had to swim through the arctic flood wearing northing but shorts and a light cotton shirt.

Many of his friends drowned or simply froze to death, but John climbed his way through the Titanic floor by floor, hall by hall until he finally was able to get onto the deck.
However, he was too late. By the time he got onto the deck, the last lifeboat had left the Titanic. In panic, he decided to jump over the edge into the ice-cold water, where he bobbled alongside passengers and crew members alike. Screaming for help and pushing through frozen bodies, he was finally rescued by lifeboat No. 15; he ended up being one of the only stokers who survived the crash.
Yet his greatest feat would happen in 1916 during the Great War. In February 1916, The Alcantara, a battleship that John worked on, intercepted the German raider Grief, which was disguised a Norwegian ship. As Alcantara approached, Grief opened fire. There was a short, ferocious, close-range battle, at the end of which both ships were sunk.
The part of the ship John was on got hit directly by one of the missiles. A couple of his friends were blown up in front of him but John managed to escape with his life.
When he returned to work, it was aboard Britannic, Titanic's other - even bigger - sister, which was serving as a hospital ship ferrying wounded soldiers back to Britain through the Mediterranean. Having already survived a collision on Olympic and the loss of Titanic, it must have been with no small amount of trepidation that he joined the third of the celebrated White Star Liners.
If Priest did feel any nervousness, it was entirely justified. On 21 November 1916, the great ship struck a mine and sank near the Greek island of Kea. Once again, he emerged from the very depths of a foundering ship alive.
Luckily, this crash wasn't as bad as the Titanic or the Alcantara where he saw his friends die beside him. Nearly everyone made it—however 30 people did perish.
After Britannic, Priest would achieve one final escape from a sinking ship. On 17 April 1917, he was a stoker aboard the hospital ship Donegal when it was torpedoed and sunk in the English Channel. He suffered a head injury and would not serve again during World War One. 40 men died but yet again, John made it out alive.
Most likely realising that his luck was gonna run out any time soon, he decided to retire and have a family. He was often at the very worst part of a vessel from which to escape, and yet he survived an astonishing litany of torpedoes, mines, icebergs and collisions to live out his days spinning tales in the pubs of Southampton. In 1937 his luck ran out. He died peaceful in his sleep.
The name "unsinkable" applied rather better to him than it did to the mighty Titanic.

JOAN R. GINTHER
Did you know that the chance of you winning a lottery is 1 in 200 million? In fact, you are more likely to die getting struck by an asteroid than win a lottery. How would you explain Joan R. Ginther’s situation then? She won a lottery not once, but an unimaginable 4 times! Her life changed when she first won a cool $5.4 million, only to win $2 million more 10 years later. It doesn’t end there. 2 years later she won $3 million, and a staggering $10 million in 2008!

TSUTOMU YAMAGUCHI
It was during World War II that Tsutomu was an employee of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. During one of his work visits to Hiroshima was when the first nuclear bomb dropped in 1945. Blessed, though injured by the blast, he somehow managed to survive. He quickly returned to Nagasaki to his family and started work on the 9th of August, the day the second nuclear attack happened. He miraculously survived this too.
Later in life, Yamaguchi became a vocal proponent of nuclear disarmament. In an interview, Mr Yamaguchi said, “The reason that I hate the atomic bomb is because of what it does to the dignity of human beings.” During a telephone interview he said, “I can’t understand why the world cannot understand the agony of the nuclear bombs. How can they keep developing these weapons?” He also wrote a book about his experiences in the late 1980s
In March 2009, Japan officially recognised Yamaguchi as a survivor of both blasts. He is now the only person officially recognised as surviving two nuclear bomb explosions.
Mr. Yamaguchi lived to a ripe old age of 93 and died on January 4th, 2010, at his home in Nagasaki.


FRANE SELAK
Known as the luckiest man to ever live, Croatian Frane Selak cheated death not once or twice, but an astonishing 7 TIMES! Selak’s brushes with death started in January 1962 when the train he was travelling in flipped off the tracks, and crashed in a freezing canyon river. Bystanders pulled him to the shore, while 17 other passengers drowned to their deaths. Selak just suffered a broken arm and hypothermia.
A year later, during his first and only plane ride, Frane was blown out of a malfunctioning plane door, and as luck would have it, landed on a haystack. The plane crashed, killing 19 people.
Three years later, in ’66, a bus he was travelling in skid off the road, into a river, drowning four passengers. Selak, however, swam safely to the shore with only a few cuts and bruises.
Two years after, Selak was trying to teach his youngest son how to hold a gun. Selak hadn’t realised that the safety trigger was accidentally off and somehow managed to shoot himself in the testicles. Selak’s testicles had to be removed, but he luckily survived, again.
In 1970, and 1973 he got into accidents where his car caught fire. Apart from singed hair, Selak managed to get out of the situation absolutely unharmed, again.
Later, in 1995, Selak was struck by a bus in Zagreb, but only sustained minor injuries.
A year later, he eluded a head-on collision with a United Nations truck on a blind mountain curve by swerving into a guardrail, which couldn’t hold on its own and gave way under the impact force of the car. He was not wearing a seat-belt at this point of time, and was ejected from the car when the door flew open. Selak saw his death along with the car plummet down about 300 ft into a gorge. You’d think cheating death an inhuman 7 times would be enough to be on this list, but there’s more.
In 2003, two days after his 73rd birthday, Frane Selak won a staggering $1.1 million in the Croatian National Lottery! While he bought two houses and a boat with it, Frane also used the money to buy a small chapel to thank the Lord for all of his fortune. After $1.1 million and the 7 near-death experiences, he better be thankful.

JACK MA
Well this guy once, worked as an English teacher in China and earned $12 a week.
As of September 2016, his net-worth is $27.9 Billion. He is none other than, Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba.com. Let’s see why he is lucky.
1. He failed two times in primary school test.
2. He failed the middle school test three times.
3. He failed the college entrance exam two times.
4. He scored 1 out of 120 points on the Math portion of his college entrance exam.
5. Jack once told, ‘Failing is one thing. Getting a score of less than 1 percent on your college entrance exam is something else completely.’ Again a huge embarrassment. Remember ASIAN PARENTS.
6. He was rejected by Harvard 10 times.
• Some how he graduated from one of the worst universities (Jack’s own words) and here comes another series of heartbreak. He applied for more than 30 jobs and was rejected by all of them.
1. Once 24 people, including Jack Ma applied for KFC China and 23 of them got selected. Guess who was rejected? Of course, it is Jack Ma.
2. He failed in convincing Silicon valley to fund Alibaba.
3. One day, all of his 18 partners (contributing capital for a total of $60,000 USD) left him.
So why I consider him to be lucky?
1. He is lucky because he believed in himself, despite of the countless failures. I don’t think no other person, could have held on that long
2. He is lucky that he learned lessons from every single failure. Not everyone can do that
3. He is lucky that he dared to dream big, despite being called a ‘failure’. Again remember Asian parents. Scoring 1 out of 120 will be definitely considered as ‘Family shame’ in Asia.
4. He is lucky that he got a good childhood friend (now his wife) who supported him in his hard days. His wife once told, “Jack may not be a handsome person, but he can do many things a handsome guy cannot do.”
5. And finally he is really lucky to believe he is lucky, when he hadn't seen luck even once in his Pre- Alibaba life.

US takes the lead with over 100,000 death since the first index case was recorded in the country.

Italy was supposed to follow the huge number but countries like Russia, Brazil, Turkey, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and France are ranked one of the highest countries with daily Coronavirus cases with over 5,000 daily aggregate figure.
