Biden dey misyarn normally...!

Typical Democrats always hypocritically forming all inclusive.

Good points he made there.

His son should have done better, and reached out to his father... It might be they are not that close.

Still, a public disclaimer was unnecessary and a step too far.

Your son is more than an adult at 30... He has every right to decide what he wants at this point.

Money or no money, parents should know the limits of their influence once their children pass the age of consent.

GloriousGbola:
charlie, camilla and diana in the chat yo!

The British Royal family has been creating Generation after generation of very miserable and unloved people.

What a tragedy!

Wetin dey letterhead?
I can even design a personal coat of arms
Nonsense

Boss, educate that dull parasite.

Emu4life:
tbh, this is like comparing Cristiano Ronaldo to Jadon Sancho

Wrong!!!

Nigga just committed a worse atrocity.

He compared Cristiano Ronaldo to Patrick Bamford.

I A thread hit front page few days ago and I saw people critizing Okpa saying it is tasteless

maybe you bought from someone who is still a learner

Okpa over moi moi 100 times..

Moi moi especially the one that isn't hot makes me sick.


why would anyone say Okpa is tasteless..

such person should check his taste bud asap

Your personal culinary opinion and taste preferences are well noted.



...And also totally rejected!

I don't think they have started the exam yet because if the exam start .he will change his body language

Chisos!!!

cococandy:
They want him to marry someone they handpicked for him so that he’ll be miserable.

Then while married he’ll be running games on the side because his heart is not in the marriage. People will really wish misery on you just so that you can fit into a box they designed for you.

The whole public statement is disgusting in and off itself

The worst, and I dare say annoying, part is that he wouldn't be the only miserable one in the marriage.

The lady foisted on him will end up being miserable and deprived of true love, intimacy, and family connection.

The family will end up making two people and kids unborn miserable.

ONNYX:
You are very correct here. But if you have a child and have bonded with him enough and are willing to protect him as much as you can then you will understand that parents do not have anything against any particular girl or boy introduced into the family.

They do however have a checklist that they use to scale the new entrant. There is a minimum score that must be met before consideration.

I have seen many marriages contracted against the parents involvement and non of it ended well.

The least you can do is to listen to your parents advice and appraise it objectively. They are most likely speaking/advising based on experience and finally what they see sitting down (with clear eyes) is what you will never see atop a mast (especially with love tainted glasses).

My good friend, you have spoken well and I agree totally with you.

Permit me to correct that part in bold above...

Not all of such well contracted and family-accepted marriages end well.

Matter of fact, plenty of them end badly... The examples abound all around us.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he won't depart from it.

If an adult chooses to deviate from a family's sacred tradition, the family should be smart enough to call him to order in love... Where entreaties fail, he should be allowed to learn from experience as an adult.


I don't even know why many commenters here are so upset with such a simple common sense reality. Lol!

VinnyBaba:
Ogbeni, my Point is Respect the Family and Don't ask questions like 'Why should a Grown Man be barred from Marrying his Choice'?

Some 30yrs old no get SENSE!

As a Parent, Never assume that your Child has become too Sensible.

Brother, I respect you, but let's stay within the bounds of reason, logic and constitution.

There is a reason certain ages are regarded as Age of Consent.

Whether he get sense or he no get sense, the highest a father, mother and family can do is advise, counsel and outrightly reject his choice.

They have no right or authority to bar or prevent him from marrying anyone he has decided to marry.

We don't need to make this simple life more complicated than it already is.

As a parent, my stance regarding such issues would be clear from the birth of my kids, and they will grow up knowing this.

If they decide to choose their paths as adults, I won't get into conflict with them.

SAMBARRY:
lazy,weak, effeminate men's favorite bible quote na wetin go kill una dey always hungry Una.

Una no see the one for bible wet say a man that cannot feed his household is worse than an infidel

Don't mind them...!

The same Bible they love to cut and join also clearly stated that "He that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord".

NothingDoMe:
And the death of the Psquare brand. Was it worth it?

Yes!

Did the brand die because of Lola or because of the greed of Jude, the elder brother?!!

Paul that married whom the family accepted, how far did it go?!! Is he still happily married??!

Just asking.

Abagworo:
Because her father is not rich. If it was Donald Duke's daughter they would have been first to announce it. Most rich people want their kids to marry from their fellow rich.

That's normal... Economically and futuristically, it makes a lot of sense too.

However, times are changing.

Men and women from humble backgrounds are breaking into old money families now.

Eventually, the family shield cracks, especially if the rich one is the lady and she got pregnant.

This instance might be harder because the man is the one with the old money...!

Same thing that played out with Prince Harry.

VinnyBaba:
Stop Trying to be too Clever! 😕

The Family must have seen something or done some Investigation on her, for them to REJECT her.

Some families do NOT sit down and allow their Sons to marry just any Girl he brings home or claims to Love.

Lol... You can be so needlessly emotional! It's amusing.

It is the family's right or perogative to accept or reject their son's union.

However, it is not in their place to permit or allow a grown man marry whomever he chooses.

That's my point, Sir.

The letter should have been worded more intellectually.

RodgersAkpafu:
all I'll say is

I hope this woman is worth alienating your family over

Now, this is the right question...!

I believe he has already answered that for himself by proceeding with the controversial union.

Zonefree:
When an Adult son is in love, it's best he listen to his family. They see things he can't see cos a Man in love is a foolish man.

When an adult son or daughter has taken a decision despite being advised otherwise by his or her family, it's best they let them be.

He or she is an adult, not a child!

Every man reserves the right to be foolish by choice... He should be allowed to learn the easy or hard way.

Dear Nigerians, know your limits... Life no suppose hard.

Tallesty1:
If your adult son decides to get married without informing you then you have every right to tell the world that you were not part of it. You just can't marry into old money fam without the families meeting.

I feel for the lady sha, getting pregnant out of wedlock will lead to a one problem or the other no matter how you handle it.

Your ADULT son or daughter reserves the full natural and constitutional right to marry whomever and whenever he or she decides.

Permission is not what they need or require from their parents or family.

The only thing they can seek is your blessing and presence.


Let's learn to talk and act like we are learned and in the 21st century abeg.

Wait... the fvck did I just read?!!

Your son, a grown ass man, needs your PERMISSION to marry anyone he chooses?!!

Is this a joke?!!


Let me assume this didn't come from the family. Even a family of stark illiterates can't be this dense.

Congrats Ipswich... Final 3rd will be Leeds United.

Such a shame we couldn't avoid the playoffs.

Blame Jonathan... He derailed badly from the blueprint and allowed corruption overtake his administration.

Happy birthday to her... She's still aging well.

Kukutente23:
Mission impossible

Never say Never...!

Tuchel did it with Chelsea in one of their worst seasons ever.

Kukutente23:
Indeed

The Don will also add another UCL to his collection by May end

I'm sure he will...!

Tho I'm hoping Bayern or Dortmund manages to snatch it for a change.

Congrats to Madrid...!

Another feather to the highly distinguished cap of Don Ancellotti.

This man again...!

Nigga has been a criminal from the womb.

Probably started defrauding people before he could read.

I doubt he knows how to do anything else other than fraud.

Rocket?!! That looks like a local Canon.

Do we still have IPOB/ESN in the Southeast?!!

They've been very quiet since Tinubu came into office.

This Bournemouth goalkeeper good sha...!

Has the instincts of prime DdG.

sylve11:
You've seen it.

They awarded the nonsense.

I shock o.

Like, even VAR didn't see that Havertz literally glided over the keeper's leg before stimulating a foul!

No wonder FIFA will never allow Epl referees anywhere near their VAR rooms during key international fixtures.

Bigdocky60:
I love drinking your tears hater

Not hating at all, sir.

I actually want Arsenal to win the title, but no need manipulating games for them.

Well, they should sha not tamper with City's games.

CrossRhodes:
Agenda sha...

Didn't you see that guy who tackled Saka should have been red carded?
Why was he not if arsenal is to be favored?

Clean tackle and purely went for the ball... Yellow card at worst if ref dey vex.

Are we watching the same game?!!

What about the 2 fouls on Justin Kluivert, yet ref played the game on?!!

membranus:
Argue that with VAR.

EPL VAR wey nor dey hear word!

Na England teach Naija corruption. Nothing wey anybody wan tell me.

franugo:
English refs at it again o, this var worse pass mahmood

Very corrupt people.

They are somehow favoring Arsenal in this game, which is unnecessary since Gunners are clearly the better team and more than likely to win.
