No be military man u be? Wat are u whinning for? Go down there. And blow his asss off..didn't they give u a gun?

I am getting married in the next few months and my traditional marraiage- igbankwu nwanyi- comes up in a few weeks to my girl of 7years. I have chronicled my issues with her here in some posts (She was meant to be my bootycall)- the first which came in 2007 or so.

When I met her, there were one or two men in her past she had been involved with and it seemed as if she was still seeing one or both- me I was the ‘small’ boy, the 'poor' boy who was not even Igbo who seemed to stand no chance.

Seven years on with a better attitude
and with her more matured disposition, I have managed to muscle everybody out and we are now getting married with so much angst from the committee of rejected boyfriends and their friends- and even some of her family members.

Due to this rancourous build up, a friend adviced me that on the day of the traditional wedding in her village, I should not drink the wine she ( my wife) will give me when she searches for her husband in the crowd.

I found this quite strange and was still thinking how to tell her just incase she felt I thought her family will poison me when she called me yesterday night to tell me that when her mother has said I should not drink the wine she(my wife) gives me on that day.

She explained to me that if her father was alive, he would have been the one to hand her wine to give me, but since he is no more, it would be any of her uncles (who she has never gotten along with anyway) that would give her the wine. She says I should discretely pour the wine on the ground, stuff notes in the horn or gouard and stand up with her.

Someone from her place says that would be slighting my inlaws and it may cause disaffection especially if there’s no bad intention towards me.

Since I am not Ibo- my question is- Should I drink the wine or not? If I don’t, would they refuse to give me my wife or would I simply seem like a coward in the eyes of my inlaws? Has anyone heard of an instance of poisoning an inlaw on his igbankwu through the wine he is customarily supposed to drink?

Please answer me before I walk open eyed to my wife…..or death.

Asshewo kobo kobo..we all knew he was gon dump u. How cumm u r just knowin? Dat its over.u r a whorre is bad enough, dat u r wet behind d ears is even worse. Almost 70 responses and not one person has reasoned wit u.. Worse days ahead for u in d hands of men. Akunna

It seems alot of people have turned Nairaland into a play thing. Else how do you describe the attitude or is it response of people to matters of critical national interest, up for discourse? Its either they try to trivilize an issue by saying- 'how does this afect the price of garri in the market?' or 'I am the first to comment bla bla bla?' Even facebook respondents have more meaningful things to contribute to matters that need discussion.

this struck me quite forcefully just now when the Jonathan visit at the Police College came up. while the nairaland thread was full of shitty responses, the Sahara reporters page on Fb has alot of meaningful contributions.

This is the Nairaland thread;

if the moderators dont do something about these deranged members, then I dont see Nairaland lasting beyond 2015.

my 2cents

ffuck that girl quick else you are a gooner. even now as it is, you are standing on a limb and its obvious its that guy she loves. the only upper hand you can have is if you shhag her fast, cos once that guy touhces down, and he soon will cos she will give it to him, you will be kicked into touch. What the heck are you even thinking keeping her as a virgin? Believe

Very few of GEJ's speeches are written by his team. Most of those speeches are written by the MDA in charge of whateva it is he is attending,commissioning or visiting.

For example, if he is delivering a speech for the commissioning of a power project in the ministry of power, the director overseeing d project will write a speech and send it to the chief of staff for vetting. Once it is approved,it is now read by GEJ at the occassion. If let's say it is oil n gas project being supervised by the NNPC, the director/officer at NNPC in charge will write the speech,send it thru the perm sec.ministry of petroleum to the president thru chief of staff for vetting. GEJ then reads it at the event.ditto all other events n speeches.

Apart frm those state of the nation addresses maybe twice or thrice a year written by abati, oronto n reno perhaps

look at this fowl! she pierces her ear and you are here whinning? whats wrong with these kids of nowadays? what of girls who pierce their noses? or tongue sef for that matter? or those who carry tattoos on their bosom or thighs?

if its just a second piercing on the ear, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and its good she told you she likes it. the minute the things she likes infringe on your own morality, then take a walk- you are not compatible.

He was saying this infront of the Senate commitee, populated by men who are EFCC's potential customers. He just gave them expo, they now also know what to do to delay justice, when they steal funds and are caught.

EllaBee: This is my first post, although I've been lurking for a while- hi guys
I'm a European girl dating a Nigerian boy, we've been together about 6 months. We met while I was vacationing in the city he lives in. Since then we've met up many times, I am a broke student so he always pays my flights and pretty much looks after me 100% when we're together. He's always thrown money around a lot, and I've always wondered how he got his hands on his cash considering he doesn't actually have a job on top of school. Recently, I did a little snooping (wrong I know) and I think I found out- he's a member of dozens and dozens of dating sights in every country imaginable, with profiles under a bunch of different pseudonyms. I've heard (and been warned about) Nigerian scammers before, but I seriously thought this guy was just your average international student like me. He's never asked me for money, he knows I don't have any to give him, but now I'm feeling like one in a long line of women (and gay men!!!) he's trying to scam. It's so crazy, I joined Nairaland to try learn about his culture, learn to cook his food etc, I never thought I'd end up one of those pathetic women crying "I love a scammer!!!"

Anyone have any perspective on this? I seriously don't know what to do, I love this guy but looks like he's a huge liar

For a European, you write good English. You must have gone to good schools. No pun intended, toots, but most of the European girls who come on here write so much gibberish you get a headache trying to read them.

Or did you by any chance attend a Nigerian school?

Back to topic: He loves you and cares for you. If he wasn't buying you all those fancy clothes and shoes, would you be here saying you want to learn to cook his food n learn his culture? Leave the hustler jor.Dont go snooping into his business again..shagg him and mind your business

I find this quite amazing sha. That someone thinks he is extravagant spending 80k with a wife and kid. I just be regular omo boy o, wey dey stingy with money die, but mehn, here are daily expenses for people of my type. Am a bachelor and I live in Abuja and 80k expenditure is out of this world.i live in Utako…and lets say I buy stuff from Utako market (and cost is the same as Alaba suru or mile 12 market in Lagos)

Let me do a rundown for a month and am a bachelor, except the occasional girlfriend or runz girl comes in. I can have friends in, but not that much

Bag of rice- mama gold (the bag may last me 2months though, since I always hangout much) - 5k
Yams (at 500per tuber for 10tubers)- 5k
One carton of turkey (ie 10kilos @9klasts 2weeks) -18k
5kilos of goat meat @1k per kilo -5k
Two 4L of Golden gnut oil (one 4l @2k5lasts 2weeks) - 5k
Irish potatoes (one basket at 900 so two baskets) say 2k
Garri- 1k
Semolina (how much is that bag again) 3k
Tomatoes (weekly at 700) say 3k
Condiments (spices, magi, curry etc) 5k
Beverages(milo, milk, magarinne, mayonnaise etc) 2k

Laundry (at 5k a week) 20k
PHCN 5k

Almost 300k

Added to my 73k kitchen bill, this is almost 400k a month and I earn only a fraction of this. I never put cloth, perfume, maintenance ( like the occassional broken down water pump, burnt transformer etc etc) and other incidentals and out of pocket expenses.
From my experience, I believe that any young man who is not married and is living a sparse life, just on the botherline of comfort needs about half a million monthly to survive.If you are married, then multiply by the number of children you have.shikena

Life is tough

1.5m but wat is wrong wit d car? And Wat is ur reason for selling? p

Callimo: This has shown that nobody here has been to Ladipo even the OP that took these street shots. How can one take pictures of street traders and push it as LADIPO MARKET.
THIS IS NO LADIPO. Wanna see what it's like? U got to come down not taking stupid shots from ur window. Do u know how industrial size warehouses that are located in Ladipo All of u posting rubish should just visit ladipo to see things for urselves

Shut the ffuck up…what do u know? you are just an ignoramus..the one posting rubbish. those pictures (covering only a minute section of the market) depict Ladipo, captures the essence, the spirit, even the environment. It is a microcosym of the Ladipo Ecosystem. Ladipo, is almost like Otigba(computer village) where you have a cluster of makeshift stores dotting, lining and interspersing streets. So you have warehouses, so what? You have banks too. And anyway, ladipo is right around the Matori Industrial Estate so you have a couple of manufacturing industries there- COSBEL ? Cosmetics is a good example
Do you know that there a number of banks within ladipo? UBA, FCMB, Zenith et al? Those industrial warehouses you have there are not even the soul of the place cos very few people have business in them. Infact you can pass them without ever knowing. Infact you cant even know there is a warehouse because all along the walls or perimeter fencing, you have kioks and stalls and shops.
Those pictures depict ladipo intoto- the boys hustling to sell you parts by merely looking at your car and seeing the visible parts that are no longer there, the go betweens struggling to take you to the shops of their benefactors, the mechanics trying to fleece you (they are mostly in their workshops anyway).
Th hub or centre of ladipo is that AP filling station- if you are on that filling station –right takes you to Toyota/five star, left to the banks lining the streets and mushin, Idi araba. Infront of you are the various blocks of shops that sell anything from radio knobs to block engines.
Like someone said, it is just one massive mechanic village and it cannot be clean because most of those parts come dripping with Enigine oil, so when you have that pouring on the roads, kerbs, shops, and even on humans, what do you expect.
In that filth, Ladipo generates billionaires by the second, you have boys who came to lagos with only Ghana must go but who are now millionaires and billionaires. Look down on Ladipo and her boys at your own peril.

dress to khee? she wan make you wear g string? like gigolo
