What ridiculous nonsense is this? undecided
She (the OP) asked for advice to calm her down and I brought that to "your attention" because your feedback only amplified the issue at hand... and you are talking of an imaginary ridiculous nonsense to deflect.

I've been on this forum since the mid-2000s, and I've known you since you joined NL as a good adviser and conversationalist, but these days, are you aware that you have been getting very cranky, argumentative, and ready to pick up verbal fights with some folks on NL threads?


I'll just end the convo here and now.

it's gonna take real patience to handle a cheating partner in marriage but then you do not know how long it's gonna take for the change you hope for, and then dealing with the baggages that comes with cheating.

The comments from most men here are really disturbing. Why marry when you intend disrespecting the marriage by cheating? You not only disrespect your spouse but by that, you are breaking trust. Shame on the men that see nothing wrong in this. If reverse were the case, you would not advise in this manner.
Op truth is your husband has been a cheat before now and he would hardly change.
I do not know how you can get him to change except by strongly registering your displeasure and letting him know cheating is a deal breaker for you (if it is for you) and there would be consequences and part of which is you are willing to walk away from a union he doesn't respect (people are not really mindful when there are no dire consequences for their actions) or you decide save the marriage and live with it while keep praying for him to change.
You cannot change an adult unless they want to themselves.
To be honest, a significant number of the advice given by the males and females on this thread are clearly intended to break this young marriage. No solutions offered except from a few of us here.

Kobojunkie:
Your husband is obviously a terrible liar. Dating apps are not for those who merely wish to socialize. Instead, they are for those looking for dates and hookups. That he spent time to complete sign-up on the app, even uploading his picture to booth, is more than enough confirmation that your husband is not as into you, and the marriage, as you seem to be. undecided

Do not allow him gaslight you, assuming he hasn't already begun doing exactly that. undecided
You only ended up amplifying the situation instead of offering specific solutions to calm her nerves here and see the bigger picture. Period.

Salewabeau:
I hope I get the right reasons here than other channel here since this is the dating thread

My husband and I got married in 2021. He got a job in the UK middle of last year as a skilled worker. He was into tech before he left. Since then I've been the only one in the motherland while he consistently sent something home to cater for myself and rent. Plans are underway to join him as soon as I'm done with NYSC.

Last week, one of my friends in the UK hinted me about something that keeps giving me sleepless nights and terrible unrest. She's a student there and we went to secondary school together. She happened to see my hubby on a dating website. She sent me screenshot of his profile and my husband pictures are all there. Everything. She's on the dating app too.

I confronted my husband after several investigation of the geniuty of what I know. He only yield in after I sent him all evidence that I have. Now he tells me dating app is a norm in the UK and everyone is there. He said he's only there to socialize and meet people, especially Nigerian, but not for dating.

This has caused some issues between us as I wasn't really satisfied with this excuse. I'm tired of constantly thinking my husband is cheating on me.


I love my husband and he's the only man I've ever known.
Salewa, you are overthinking this scenario. Girl, hurry up, get on the next flight to the UK when you are done, then go and be with him... so as to be able to kiss and cuddle him all you want. Period.

Cheers.
Foreign AffairsRe: The White House Christmas Decorations 2022 by AlphaTaikun:
1stGenAmerican:
And I can never forget when the rotund wife of another nation’s useless president ordered a person to be jailed just because he Tweeted the truth about her girth and didn’t let his eyes deceive him.
The thread is on the Front Page already... Lovely White House decorations.


On another note...

Whaaaaat?! You didn't say that... Lol.

To be honest, that was outright "body shaming" and defamation of Aisha by the 22-year-old and his parents apologised publicly for that. The 22-year-old has a habit of being demeaning towards women on Twitter.

He earlier Tweeted in Hausa his support for the murder of the girl in Sokoto State who was burned alive this year for so-called blasphemy over a WhatsApp voice note she sent to her school mates chat group online.

Indeed, he defamed Aisha Buhari in the Hausa language on Twitter by sarcastically saying that it was the government "money stolen" by her family that made her become overfed and "fat," or to put it mildly or jocularly in your words "rotund."

Aisha was born into a wealthy family so she is personally rich and can afford to binge on whatever food she wants... though she has to reduce that "girth" for health reasons. As of 2021, she was slimmer than she is now.

I wanted you to have clearer insights into the real events that led to the Nigerian President's wife ordering the intelligence agency to detain that boy.


Enjoy the weekend.wink

Viktor Bout: Russian arms dealer known as the ‘Merchant of Death’ swapped for Brittney Griner



https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/12/08/americas/viktor-bout-profile-prisoner-swap-intl/index.html
Medical-grade CBD oil is legally used to treat a lot of medical conditions in the U.S. and several countries now.

Brittney Griner just naively walked right into the trap set by the very cunning Russians, who then used the emotions of her being female to get this obviously one-sided prisoner swap.

My consolation in this prisoner swap is that Viktor Bout spent 10 years in jail from 2012 out of the 25 years for his acts of arming terror groups around the world as a very notorious arms dealer. He can go back to drinking Vodka now, but the next time he repeats that kind of offence he was sent to jail for, covert operations will be launched to bring JUSTICE to him. Period.

G’bam! Truth! With the way you delivered that analysis, I seriously think you should add Life Coach to your repitoire. Women, at least American women, would pay for your coaching services. You are on the level of Dr. Phil (I love him)!
1stGenAmerican, thank you hon. wink
You are different from a lot of young women out there. You see things from an elevated level... (a real man needs someone like YOU to complement him long-term).

My take on DJ Cuppy and women in general?... It comes with years of experience. I have an uncanny ability to read people and events with accuracy because we live in a world of cycles!

Oh wow! I've never thought of this idea... A Life Coach like Dr. Phil?... OK, I'll keep that in mind. But I won't come cheap per hourly billing with any coaching services for American women because it would eat into my current highly productive time. There's millions and billions in USD to be made here and now from providing solutions to real world challenges and problems.

1stGenAmerican,

Ah! I see you've done your quick research on this guy already... wink A YouTuber with some time spent in jail!

Some red flags spotted here though, and Flo (DJ Cuppy) has to be careful with her background checks.

She's flaunting him too hard in such a short space of time like she's the one that seduced him. Lol.

Girls like that try to change their men to fit into their own fantasies and fail big time. She has to take it slowly with measured steps till she reaches her goal. There's a man out there who will truly want to be with her for the long-term if she is diligent enough.

You mean, eating it boiled unripe plantains whole with the peel? We're not goats, Mr Taikun. cheesy
I barely even enjoy eating unripe plantains, much less with the peel. cheesy


Those foods you stated really do smell good.

For me, I love the smell of bread baking, more than I love eating bread.

For cakes, it's the other way around. Especially chocolate cake.

I was there yesterday, Wednesday, and I can tell you for free that there's nothing genuine about the whole exercise. Nothing was organised. No coordination. Nothing seems to work out well in Nigeria. And the cars available, are almost scraps. The good ones were already sold to their friends and cronies a day before the event. It was confirmed by some persons there. So, what happened was a charade sort of.

People have a right of choice to associate with any legitimate political party worldwide, therefore she should be allowed her freedom to choose. Those from the Ibo ethnicity who are CLEARLY attacking Mercy on her Instagram are HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE and OVERBEARING. Period.

Good evening to you, Mr Taikun. smiley

No, I'm not kidding.

As much as I love plantains, I still maintain that they're nutritionally deficient (as in, not having enough nutrients) but not lacking.

Aside that, I wouldn't mind having them for the rest of my life.
The aroma while frying plantains is to die for!
Lol... That is an insightful info there mariahAngel.

Now that you've mentioned it, I'll do some more reading on plantain nutritional value. Perhaps adding food toppings such as avocados and grilled fish to plantains would give a more rounded diet.


What do you think about eating boiled unripe plantain with the peel still on it? Is this proper? I'm just curious since you seem to have more culinary info here.


That last paragraph got me chuckling here... That makes the 2 of us caught in the "fried plantain aroma web." Lol

There are other aromas that I like that trigger that feel-good sensation, such as oven-baked bread, Hawaiian pizza, cakes, coffee, even Cuban cigars, etc, (though I don't smoke).

I like your well-written culinary insights. Keep it up! wink

Yeah, we have bilingual citizens in those countries who speak English and there are large immigrant communities from those 3 countries in the U.S., so the motivation to learn and speak English is apparent!

26-30 years: Both mother and daughter will be dancing with all their might and strength.

31-35 years: Daughter, mother and father will be trying to outdo each other on the dancing arena

36 years and above: The father o, mother o, brothers o, sisters o, and the entire extended family will take over the dancing arena.

You misread the context of my entire post @SKhanmi.

You didn't have to rephrase my direct question to you. That's NOT what I meant. Lol...

I simply asked you a DIRECT question because I wanted to know "if you would have married her when she was much younger" based on our knowledge of how she was conceived... "I would, because she spoke the truth, and I find that truth in the midst of her emotional turmoil very attractive. Besides, the parents who adopted her raised her well from childhood, and gave her a good education."

Just to be clear, in my first post on this thread, I stated my profound support for her, and her story gave me deeper insights as to the fact that people who were born under her kind of circumstance have emotional needs and desire for love just like the rest of mankind.

And it won't be easy to turn of the device except if its an experienced criminal that knows how to turn it off (we know majority of these thieves are dumb only those who work the device fir then knows how to turn it off) but you can still locate the device before it gets turned off as long as you quickly find a laptop or another device, log unto your account and start tracking.
