Make him miss you Sheleads: I met this best friend of mine early December last year, since then we have bonded very well.
The truth is that I am already loving this guy, but it looks like he is interested in another woman out there...
I don't want to come out desperate or a "do or die affair" he watches me get closer to another guy, but he speaks ill of the new guy I want to date. Right inside my heart, he is the guy I love. Since this guy isn't reciprocating my feelings, should I discard our friendship and move on with my life? Or reduce our closeness? I don't want to be hurt or look desperate.

Go and read about ICC and Israel/Palestine conflict. descartes400:
That's where you are wrong!
This is a legal judgement in the international courts which may lead to a legal prohibition of doing business with Russia. I am not familiar with the process, yet the outcome would be something like legally closing ports, businesses, trade with Russia because they are a "terrorist" like State. Through legal means. So even countries doing business with Russia could be held accountable for business with "terrorists". And this i believe allows Ukraine to go after Russian assets as well. So the 300b (Russia's) being held now could be legally used to rebuild Ukraine. Also going after state property around the world, and the peoples assets who were responsible. There are many steps, but in legal term this went fast.This is incredibly simplified. |

It happened before you met your new girl so tell her the truth. If she decides to leave, let her leave now. OGBEREIJEBU: Stright to point
I am 36years old. Many years ago after NYSC, I have no Juicy paying Job that can enable me to marry. I was in a relationship with Ugochi from when she was 20 until 28. Age was not on her side so I being a nobleman advised her to go ahead and marry one wealthy middle-aged man 41, that was asking for her hand in marriage.
The pressure to marry him was too much from her friends and family. I had no juicy Job, could barely eat, pay bills and have a chance to even drink and buy clothing.
I had to make sacrifices for her, so 5 days to her wedding, we agreed in unison to meet for farewell and farewell F@@k.With frustration and Heavy heart I ca..me deep inside her Four times. Gave her money for drugs (White quinine or postinor 2), she rejected it and promised to take care of it herself. I went to her wedding, eat, wished her well and left. Cried all night and moved on.
Her hubby took her to Abuja.
Now I have a good job. I am building my house and I have a car. I am extremely comfortable now.
I got a call earlier this year and it was Ugochi. She was desperate to see me. she travelled down to Lagos to see me. I wasn't comfortable so I talked her out of coming to my house. We met at an eatery and she came with one handsome little boy. I ordered Food for them and then my biggest fear came. She said her husband found out the baby is not his and sent her packing. She informed me the baby is mine.
I was shocked and I had to tell her I am squatting with someone, She and xxxxxxxx left for Imo State but before then, I denied and I argued, I went defensive. The problem I have now is that I am planning my traditional wedding in August 2022 I have a presentable fiancee I love way too much.
Now, I can lie to the world but I can't lie to myself. That Little boy looks like me and has my pointed nose. Facially, it is glaring He is mine but I don't love Ugochi again, I have moved on. I love my fiancee so much.
How can I handle this situation? |

Health / Re: I Am So Depressed. I'm A Chronic Stammerer! Please I Need Your Advice. by adisabarber(m): 12:02pm On Feb 24, 2022 |
Learn programming, it might help. HenryIgwe01: My name is Henry, 27 yrs old. I am new here, it was my younger sister who introduced me to nairaland. She is a member here.
Brilliant and intellectual minds are here so I believe you people can help me with an advice because I am so depressed and I don't know who to talk talk to about my depression.
I'm a stammerer, a chronic and dreadful one at that. I can repeat an initial word like forever before I could complete my statement. It has made me hate my life and existence. I have a very low-self esteem, I can't express myself, I can't even approach a girl not to talk of being a relationship because I'm afraid of being mocked.
I'm a graduate in accounting education from AAU. I have always dreamt of becoming a lecturer/teacher. I'm smart and intelligent, I love to impact knowledge but I can't express myself. It's a big disability for me.
Back then in University, when i went for my teaching practice, the first day I taught in a classroom, I sense an undesirable atmosphere. I knew the students were trying to laugh but they respected their selves. When I got home, I locked myself and I cried.... But life goes on.
I graduated 2017, I went for nysc 2018. Since then my life has no bearing. I have not achieved anything. I feel inadequate despite I read a lot and I'm intelligent. It pains me I can't communicate to impact knowledge without stammering.
My father is making it worse for me, he compare me with other guys, he has never appreciated any thing I've done for him, he talks down on me. He finds fault in anything I do, he talks as if I created myself.
My mom and siblings are the reason why I haven't committed suicide. They encourage me everyday, especially my mom who is sick now.
I prefer to be completely deaf and dumb than for me to talk and not be able to express myself.
God is not perfect. If God was perfect, he would not have created some people with disability or deformity. Some people were born crippled, deaf, blind etc.. And you wanna tell me God is perfect? He's a partial and sentimental God. I try to understand his vision but all I see is damages.
Please I'm so depressed. I need advice. |

Boogiebee: My brother is 17 and addicted to gambling. This addiction has cost us so much as a family especially my widowed mum.
He is constantly selling things and using money meant for his rent, upkeep, etc to gamble. Just last week he used his laptop to gamble. We have used tough love and right now we have exhausted all options to make him stop.
Like every other addiction if we are not proactive I'm afraid this will ruin him.
Additional Information: He's currently a 200L student of a federal uni but ever since he gained admission it has been one problem or the other caused by gambling. I'm thinking of withdrawing him and put him in a juvenile home if everything else fails.
I need practical solutions and advice on how to make him stop. If you are a recovered gambler please share what helped you. Tough one but you need to apply wisdom here. Make sure you never hand too much money to him directly. Send food stuff to him instead of feeding allowance. Send him money weekly instead of monthly. Keep valuables away from him so he cannot steal them. If he sells his things, don't replace them. Lastly, pray for God to help you 3 Likes |

So sorry for the inconvenience. Next time, you can go to GIG park in Ikotun if you want to send something to Bayelsa. It's closer to Iyana Ipaja. Xcelinteriors: So this customer(a nairander) called me and asked for 15 rolls of wallpaper and 15sqm of linoleum which the total was 90,000.
We reached an agreement and he told me to waybill it to bayelsa and he will only transfer my money only if I take it to the park and make video call with him showing the packed items. I agreed. I couldn't get any vehicle going to bayelsa from iyana ipaja so I called him to ask if he will prefer peace mass which he said yes. All this while he knew he didn't have any money to pay me but because he want to show the wickedness in him, he asked me to take it to park.
Everyone knows iyana ipaja to jibowu is a very long distance and I did not even charge him for the trip just because I want to please and make my customer happy .
I was in traffic for more than 2hrs and this devil of a customer didn't see the need to call me to inform me that he don't need those items again I reached peace mass and was negotiating with the driver about the waybill fee and that was when I saw this message below. Funny enough he also blocked me.
As for the wallpaper I can always get another customer that will buy it but the linoleum has been cut into the square meter he want. Selling it won't be easy but God will bring a customer that will buy it.
When this man knows he doesn't have money to pay for an item while ordering it and giving me unnecessary stress.
Vendors please take note of this, when a customer request for anything and he /she can't send money first please kindly ignore them . Most of them are time wasters. 3 Likes 1 Share |

No put school owner inside wahala Mrshape: When health workers come to a school, will they not allow the school to contact the parents before they vaccinate their children? Some health workers came to my school and started disturbing the peace of the school because we told her we will contact the parents and seek their consent before they can vaccinate the children, she started shouting they will close down the school, this that, torn the visitors book, we have to tell her to go. We contacted our parents some refused most said we go ahead then told the local health center to come and vaccinate the children tommorow.

See the exact way you showed remorse here, show it to her. Show genuine remorse but don't think forgiveness will come immediately. Give her time so wounds can heal naturally. Goodluck Noah9: Good morning nairalanders. Pls I'll go straight to point.
My wife and I have been married for 3 years, God has blessed our matrimony with a beautiful daughter. My wife is so decent, caring and beautiful inside out. I have been a great husband and father to my pretty daughter. I have never cheated on my wife since we got married.
Recently, she barely give me sex. Infact it would take a whole month before I could see Just the color of her undies and I wasn't happy about it.
Last week Wednesday, I committed an unspeakable abuse, I'm so ashamed of myself. I Raped my wife and I hate myself since that incident.
Honestly, I don't know what came over me that particular day, I tried to make advances towards her, she refused and she pushed my hand away. Out of anger I slapped her on her face (she bled from her mouth), I overpowered her and forcefully had my way through. She cried all through that night.
I regretted my actions, I feel remorse, I hate my Life . I have begged her seriously to forgive me but she haven't said a word to me for over 5 days now. She cook for just herself and my daughter, she no longer sleep in our matrimonial bed, she would rather sleep in my daughter's room or the visitor's room, she no longer greets me anymore.
I have never abused, beat or raised my hands on my wife or any woman before. Last week was my first time I did such an abominable act in my Life . What If any one notice we're having issues now, how will I explain to them what actually happened?
I don't even want my little daughter to know we're having issues. I don't know who to talk to. It's a faceless forum that's why I'm sharing my pain here . Pls how do I restore back happiness in my home, I need my wife to forgive me. I'm truly sorry from the depth of my heart and I promise it will never happen again.
Please Help Me. |

Give the Okada out until you can save money for house rent Witnesstony28: I am faced with the choices of staying at my present place of work or doing my bike business full-time.
If you remember I narrated how my place of work is under paying me (30k/month) and I was able to save 10k on monthly basis from it and I got a loan from my girl's mum and added to get a bike to ride after work (a secondary School).
I stay in the School compound without paying rent and others utility bills.
So on the 1st of this month the owner called and told me that because of the School reputation, they wouldn't want their teacher doing bike work and that it's either I resign from the School or drop the bike (alternatively I should find someone's going to do the bike business for me and bring me returns).
At The initial point I wanted giving it to someone, but on a second thought, I decided to do it by myself cos one person I asked to do it was telling me he will pay 1k/day meanwhile when I go out after work, I normally make like 2k - 3k from 3pm to 6pm and the guy is telling me he will remit 1k for working from 7am to 6pm.
Now I need advice on this. Cos I have been thinking of quiting and focusing on the bike work for the moment. I make way pass 6k on a good day but at that school we are paid 1k/ day. My only challenge now is getting accommodation to pack out and focus on my stuff. I have also thought about entering into transport business since I started this bike work and I also intend going into delivery business too.
Pls what do I do?

Business / Re: Exploitative Outrageous Duty Charges By Nigerian Customs by adisabarber(m): 3:41pm On Dec 01, 2021 |
Ask for the valuation officer and ask for a review of the CIF used. Go with evidence of the payment you made. When there's no invoice attached, the valuation officer uses estimates to calculate your duty. Dandy1: I couldn't find a suitable sub-forum for this topic, so I used the general. Kindly patiently read through, if there's anyone that can help - please kindly reach out.
I'm going to be apt and sincere here. So I ordered a musical studio equipment on the Aliexpress 11:11 sales day. The total sum I paid for the item at checkout was $280(114k naira). Free shipping was part of the deal, so it was mouth watering. Normally, I would have used the service of Nairaland trusted shipping agents like Justi4jesu, but she doesn't do Aliexpress the last time I checked.
Fast forward to today, I was called to come pick up my parcel at the local post office. The item was stated on the listing to be shipped through 'Aliexpress standard shipping', I don't know how it ended up in the care of EMS. I reached there, and some sort of invoice was brought out. The attending agent looked at the papers for a moment and told me I would be paying about 39,600 for the clearance. What!!!
I couldn't believe my ears, so I told her to please pass me the document for observation. I saw the estimated value of the item was put at #202,000 naira. How come? It stated on the paper that the custom duty was 10%,which is #20,000. Plus all other trumped up charges, it summed up to #39,600. Plus 1k5 for shipping from Lagos, over 40k. That's about $100, using the current official exchange rate.
I bought a $280 dollar item and I'm being charged $100 for collection? That's like 43% of the value. Even if I am stinkingly rich, which I am not; it's insane to pay such amount. It's like buying a 1milli worth car and paying 430k to clear it. I am an obedient citizen and all, but inflating the price of the item I bought just to cash out big through tariff screams corruption to me. I am very sure just a fraction of the amount will be remitted to government coffers.
Please if there's anybody who has an idea how to go about beating down this obviously outrageous charges, kindly help out. I can print out the issued invoice on the bought item as proof of price if there's a need. Thanks.
Lalasticlala and other mods, I will be glad if this can make front page for more awareness of this unjust situation. Thanks |
