How come I don't believe this, she sounds Chinese, they don't spend money like that.

Even if they wanted to have that done, with less than $50, a lot of naija girls will jump at the offer.

The older you get, the more you see that your parents are not perfect. Just accommodate their inperfections.

Sometimes, some children grow into adults with higher emotional intelligence than their parents. I think it is wise for anyone who finds himself here to just accommodate the flaws of their parents. It is also important thet they do all they can to not get into any arguments with their parents, not in a despiseful way, but in a loving way.

I'd stop here by saying, just love the full package. Do what you'd do, not because it would be appreciated, but because it is somewhat a responsibility a child owes to their parents.

Education / Re: This Happened At My Children's School Today by Amtrak: 1:57pm On Sep 15, 2022
chegzyshade:
Good evening house

I will be straight and brief with my explanation


I dropped my kids in their school early today. On my way out of the premises, I over heard the HOS/HM telling/asking a particular child " WHY ARE YOUR PARENTS SO STUBBORN?" because the child wore a black socks instead of white. That word strucked me and I felt pained cos, I won't take such.

I intervened immediately and correct her manner( I told her that shouldn't be coming from her as the head teacher).
Though she felt remorsed, but she was like the said parents are always proving hard. She told me she has had several encounter with this parents on this but they always complaining that the road to the school is very bad that whenever it rained, their child will come in black socks.

To be honest, the road is so mouldy and messed, very unpleasant, you find it so hard to walk through the road in raining periods. If you're so familiar with 'QUEENMARIS SCHOOLS' along ikotun-ijegun road, you'll understand better.
She also complained that this child will sometimes wear bodyhug under the unform or improvised cardigan to prevent cold cos the parents refused to buy the school cardigan claiming it's not priority. That they'll rather pay their child school fee than buying cardigan when they can improvise.

I was speechless though, but, I told her what she said is not good enough.

How will you feel and how will you react if your child told you someone in his/her school tell this


The HOS is right; allow her manage her school while you manage your home.

Atleast she wasn't flogging/beating the child unnecessarily or wickedly. If your child was attending a military primary/secondary school, would you try this kind of "correction". Don't allow a false sense of power or authority make you try do determine who's the boss in your chilld's school.

No matter how dirty, kids can always wash their stockings everyday; it's part of training. Some of their mates are in boarding schools where this your kind of intervention can't ever take place.

Finally, if you don't have faith in the school, then simply take your child else where.

Family / Re: My Parents Destroyed My Life In Guise Of Love, I'm Now Depressed Daily by Amtrak: 10:51pm On Sep 13, 2022
My advice is that you should not even venture into the Nigerian military: not because you wont make it, but because I know better the regret that could follow.

At your stage (NYSC)11 years ago, I had this friend and faculty mate; we both graduated at the same time and got posted to the same state for service. He won Mr. Macho in Asaya Camp back then: handsome and well-built (you should have an idea of the kind of people that win Mr. Macho). He had his Bachelors Degree, but opted to join the Nigerian Army.

However, it's quite unfortunate the news I saw on my class Whatsapp that he got killed-in-action while fighting insurgents last week Tuesday (today makes it a week). I can't still believe it: I just wish it's not true; but it's been a week now, and the news still says the same thing.

So on the idea of joining the military, please listen to your parents. My guy just left his little boy and wife to fight it out alone in this increasingly wicked country.

On the work/job/career area, it's not abnormal for the average Nigerian graduate to be skill-less upon graduation. However, this must not remain so. You need to look for something that interests you and has the potential to give you earnings, and then give it your best in both learning and working. This one is no longer in the hand of your parents.

Also, since lack of independence seems to be having a negative effect on you, I strongly recommend that you use half of that 270k to secure your own private accommodation within the same state as your parents immediately after service. But ensure to get their blessings before you leave the house.

I feel your boss is still too angry and if someone sets you up again, it might just be too bad for you and your mom, hence I recommend that you discuss your resignation with your mom. Try to convince her that you need to leave the organisation. When she agrees you can then go and see your boss privately and do the following:

1.) Thank him sincerely for giving ho the opportunity to work in his organisation
2.) Assure him that you've been a victim, and not a thief
3.) Don't argue with him on whatever he says
4.) Respectfully tender your resignation
5.) If he insists on knowing your reason, tell hem that you want to use the opportunity to pray more and seek the face of God concerning your life.

Sorry about your ordeal.

Family / Re: Unusual Behavior Between My Step Brother And My Wife by Amtrak: 7:40pm On Aug 12, 2022
grop1040:
Hi guys,

Something happened 9 months ago, I decided to keep mute or probably just wait for the right time to commence my investigation to actually know what is going on between my step brother and my wife.

So I'm 9 years already into my marriage, and we have 3 kids. My step brother who is the 2nd of my mum has temperamental problem.

He's bossy and very vulgar plus he's controlling, everybody knows him for that, he was married 13 years ago, however after his family relocated to the USA, he later found
out that his 3kids aren't his, the marriage ended like that, ever since then he's been traumatized, emotionally and any other way one can describe him as. Sometimes in order to at least feel that children presence around him, he would ask me to have my children come over to his place for some days, and I could witness how that really helped him over time, but then I noticed the absence of his wife started making him familiarize with my wife in certain odd manners which I was not really down with.

For example, if he comes to our house, most times comes around with a friend, either female or male, my wife seems not to be the attache type who would sit with us in the living room, she will rather be upstairs in the room, I have witnessed cases where he will shout at her, saying how can everybody be here and ur there upstairs?

There was even a time when one of the visitors he came with sighed and made face in a way that defined, wow, "was that necessary". Or times when he will ask her to cook stew for her, if she forgets or probably didnt want to do it because she knew it isnt her duty, she will be yelled upon, you'll here things like, where
is the egusi i told u to make, even the one you made last time, u didnt put enough this and that

Now yall might think am a dullard or a simp, or someone too relaxed as gentle and as patient as I am, I be original demon, if I start my madness, the result will end in eternal damage, and our family background from my mums side where this my brother was born, we tend to uphold unity over adversity, so when things like this occur, mum would rather have us calm and not fight so unity can continue.

So sometimes last year, the major issues started grooming that made me start to think if there was something going on with my step and my wife, it started with when the kids were with him, so madam and I were suppose to go for outing, so we decided to branch at his place to check up on the kids, on getting there while in his living room, he said to my wife "I like your hair" she responded thanks, he was like are u guys going out, I was like yea am taking her out, next thing she asked my madam, so when are we going on
our own outing
? I shrugged and didnt understand where that came from, though she didnt answer him.

While we were leaving, I was waiting for her to bring up the topic and put it to me that why did ur brother say such a thing, even if its a joke, its too expensive, but she didnt, I brought up the topic, and she was like shes surprised too that she never thought he would say such a thing.

5 days later, we had a family party in his house, my other brothers, cousins and my mum, my children were there, while the
caterer were cooking outside, and we were all in his living room drinking, he opted to get some meat to dish and give everybody to at least be chewing something, he served it round but when it got to my wives turn, the one he already bit off from was what he gave her, funny thing is, it was only my mum and myself that saw the scene, my wife was not aware, that was when I knew something could be going on.

Afterwards, I put the ish through to my wife, she acted disgusted and said she cant blv he would do such, that although my mum already called her to say the same thing. So I asked details of what she discussed with my mum, she said my mum advised her that whenever he calls her, she shouldnt pick, that when he knows its obvious that shes avoiding his call, he probably would want to report to her, and then she will now break the silence of what she my wife have been experiencing with him thus her refusal to pick his call.

So I called my mum and I was like being calm, patient and cooperating with the useless policy of the family doesnt mean that the recent things happening won't seat any longer with me, that am gonna have to confront him and put him in his place. My mum begged me and begged, cos she's 76 years old, I considered and I had no choice but to cooperate with her advise.

The funny thing is, after this whole ish, I asked her that if he calls, will you pick, she answered yes I will, but I will have to see what he has to say first to know if I will continue the conversation or not, I was like for real? You must be kidding me, it means something that I am not suppose to know of is happening, she was like oh well its ur fault, why didn't u confront him instead of listening to ur mums advise.

Since then, I have let it slide, but what actually made me bring up this issue again, was when I went to my bros house to pick some stuffs my sister sent from the USA, madam was off to the market, I called her to ask if she would like the only size 10 of the shoe I saw cos she wears 9, she didnt pick after calling like 4 times, immediately my brother called her with his own phone, she picked and was like sorry when you called I try to pick but it was nt connecting, I just weak at that moment sey wetin dey sup.

Guys, ladies, from deep experiences u guys must have gone through, what do u think could be wrong and what do yall think I should do, something could be happening
that if I dont unravel early, it might be the cause of ones demise or destruction.

You're thinking too much.

Nothing is happening, I can assure you.

Your brother is lonely and still recovering from trauma. It takes really long to recover from such a trauma as the one he has gone through. Sometimes people never ever recover from such. He might just be on survival mode but has no one to explain his deepest pains to. Trauma can reconfigure a person's brain and socializing in an appropriate manner becomes a problem for them. Inside they have so many questions without answers; in addition, they have this persistent feeling of not fitting-in and the physical manifestation comes as awkward behaviour or words.

On the other side, your wife might not want to start complaining to you about your brother, so she'd rather manage things her way. You guys 'outnumber' her so she might not want to risk it.

Again, what you have explained here doesn't give me enough to believe that anything is going on between them; so free your mind. It will be a really stupid thing for you and your brother to have issues because of your wife; so don't ever confront him. Rather, encourage him to get married again. Carry one girl dash am as wife so that your family can have its peace; he might reject her initially because of male ego, but be persistent. Tell him that you only allowed you wife to help him out initially when thing were still difficult, but that cannot continue now because no one else but him can help himself recover. Tell him it is time to enter another phase of recovery; and that is the phase of having his own woman again.
