FamilyRe: My Wife's Job Is A Threat To Our Marriage. by apprentist(op): 1:22pm On May 22, 2025
Phabulous4:
Christian brothers, let’s better open a WhatsApp group to address this issue once and for all, cause we are many in this predicament, more than you think.

Funny thing is, mine is not even working currently. We moved back to Lagos last year October when I secured a job with a multinational and had to close down her shop. I foot the bills 100%, including tips.

I do my office wears laundry outside, but my laundry man traveled to the village in December and never returned. The other laundry woman on my street was a mess and almost ruined all my whites. So, my wife bided for the contract, and I gladly gave it to her, paying her the same rate! Even though the detergent and starch come from the monthly upkeep I give. At least just so she could have a her own money!

I’m planning a ₦ grin million setup fund for her by January so she can kick-start her business. She want to do the laundry business on a commercial scale. I have no problem with that.

One thing I’ve come to realize is: we didn’t get married just to have sex as often as we wanted. Christian brothers, guided by moral values, are mostly at the receiving end of this shortcoming. Mine was no sex before marriage, but out first year of marriage was a bliss. The fire dwindled as soon as we had our child.

If we can accept this fact and relieve ourselves from the resentment and frustration of being constantly denied, we’d live longer.

I don’t even ask very often anymore, my appetite has greatly reduced, and the drive declined.

Like you, we got married in August 2020 and we’ve only had one child, who is about 2 years plus now. I’m not planning for another, anytime soon. We are all happy! lols

Help your wife to stop that work she’s currently doing. Or doesn’t she also want to stop and why? Because unlike you what I enjoy is my wife undivided attention and devotion. she keep the home front tight and I'm happy and grateful for that. The sex!!! God will help us with that. lols!

I wish you well bro, Also wish we could connect thou!
Thank you very much. I truly appreciate the comment. One thing I would like to point out is that I also have started having a decline is s*x drive. Ordinarily I would want it like twice a week but now, whenever the urge comes, I'll just push it away and my third arm down between my legs is also playing along. Even though this isn't healthy for us men, it appears it's a safe way out.

I'll create the WhatsApp group here. Strictly for males only and Christians with similar beliefs.

Get someone to help in the house chores...don't kill your wife all because of personal desires.

I have a wife who has been working since 15years,I literally help her out in virtually everything.

I employed a nanny that i pay on a monthly basis...just to help her ease the working stress and this nanny, takes care of the house cleaning,children's clothe,their feeding when they come back every afternoon and so many others that I may not have mentioned here.

Help that woman,I mean your wife. When I noticed similar thing from wife in the early time of marriage I had to do this to unburden her,we used to share one car,I bought her a car too.

Man,assist her...she is human being too.
Thanks for taking out the time to comment. I wouldn't like to sound like I'm defending myself here.

1. I had tried to teach her to drive but no success and she doesn't have the time to go to driving school

2. I recently upgraded my washing machine to manual to fully auto so as to avoid the stress of rinsing and drying. And I do 100% of the laundry at home.

The only reason I can consider a housemaid would be to take care of my kids after school which to me is as same as them being in day care. Why do we underestimate the importance of parent care for children at their early stage in Africa? Anyways, your point is made. Thanks again

Winneygirl:
So you cannot sit with your wife and map out how to get a different job?
You cannot review her CV with her and look out for more flexible jobs?
You think she likes working herself to the bones? How much do you have to give her to start up a business?
Do you know how much capital is needed to adequately start something viable? What of the time needed to grow the business?

Instead of being practical and taking the right action to safeguard your family income, you are here moving funny.
If your income alone was enough to keep your family afloat, she will not be working so hard.

Look inwards. Be practical and start looking for a more flexible job for her.
Thank you

Oga lemme be honest with you, once your wife starts to notice you no longer beg for sex and you're always happy, that's when things will fall back in place.
I don't have to tell you what to do.
I get you.

Sorry about what you're going through... I can understand how frustrating it can be.

Please, don't get pissed off just yet... If it's an option, get her a housemaid to help out at home.

Secondly, any weekend she is not working... you guys should hang out like the old good days. If possible, leave the kids with your parents and go lodge in a good hotel.

Also, sit down with her to have an open discussion on the need to save your marriage...

I believe she starting a business is a good opinion... But remember, it is not everyone that is cut out for that.

I wish you the best in your marriage... Please, try to safe it!!!
Thank you so much for the advice. It means a lot to me.

I specially like the idea of house help. But with the way I am now, I'd have sex with the house help. And I can't even allow a young girl because it would be too risky.

It's not that easy. My kids are my priority. I dream of a home where they will grow with all the care they need. Remarrying comes with too much uncertainty.

The worse part of it is that madam doesn't even act like she cares about how I feel. I've tried all possible means. Talk, beg for s*x, give her suprise packages, even spoken to her parent about it.

Back then I used to blame men for cheating or fighting with their wife. But now, I'm pushed to do either.
FamilyMy Wife's Job Is A Threat To Our Marriage. by apprentist(op): 9:04am On May 22, 2025
Hello Guys, let me first of all say the cliché "It is well".

Now let we start.
I met my wife years back just before the COVID-19 year during which we dated for almost a year and then eventually got married just when the lock down was reducing. I started this story this way because I wanted to emphasis that during that period, we had so much time to bond and she was mostly available to me as she only worked on shifts 2 to 3 days per week.
We could sit and talk for long, go out at late nights and have great s*x as frequently as we needed.

This I think gave me a mirage of an anticipated marriage life so I didn't hesitate to take it a step further ones the lockdown was relaxed.
I also made it clear to her that her job would have to give way when their kids start coming as I had plans to assist her further her edu and also put up a biz for her.

Speed up to after COVID-19, she resumed work which till this day demands 5 days a week and 2 to 3 Saturdays per month all from 7:45am till 5pm. Often times she'd return home tired and would manage to make dinner and off to bed till the next day circle continues.
It became worse when we started having children. I drive them to school as early as 7:40am before dropping her off at her job. And then I'll pick them up by 5:30pm or 6pm when she's done with her job for the day (let me mention that this extends to public holidays and school holidays or breaks).

I got tired and in December 2025 I told her she has to quit the job. My plan was to enroll her back into a private school after my kids are Upto 4 years as one of them still depends on breast milk. I also gave her the option of starting a business which I understand is a dynamic move and might not be successful, but at this stage of my life it's something I could afford to risk and so I didn't mind.

I must also mention that out of a 100% sex, 50% is not mutual as I could sense she isn't interested and 40% is a denial as she would rather deny me of s*x with the excuse that she is tired.

Simply put, I'm tired.
I'm a Christian and divorce isn't an option. Also I can't cheat, but I am starved of s*x and my kids are not given the attention they deserve.
Pls advice me

BusinessRe: Fairmoney's Interest On Loans Isn't Fair At All by apprentist(m): 7:10am On May 03, 2025
You had to write this whole epistle just to warn customers of a fintech. Just so you know, others aren't so cheap either. One gave me 31k loan to pay 43k within 30 days. The next time I came, my loan limit had increased as I was only allowed to take higher. And of course with higher interest.
I don't like the sound of loans, I try as much as I can to avoid getting to the point when they become my last resort. I suggest other Nigerians do same.

Here's how to avoid loan traps
1. Save as your strength can carry you: most Nigerians who take loans have money locked up somewhere which they cannot access at the time. So they have to take loan
2. Split your salary savings: let's say you can save 50k monthly for spending within the month. Split it into 4 weeks and only access each quarter per week. That way you have as little as 10k weekly to spend.
3. Buy foodstuff in bulk(if you can afford it): Food is one thing no living human can do without so why not prioritise it monthly
4. Get a job if you don't have at least one already.
5. Reduce the load on your monthly salary: You can achieve this by earning from more than just your monthly salary, by avoiding loans that eats up your salary before it comes, by cutting your lifestyle below your means. If you can afford a three bedroom, go for 2 bedrooms.

My point here is, loan apps are banking on the weakness of Nigerians and the situation of the country. But be assured that no matter what, Nigerians must still patronise them. Some of us just like the sound of loans.

Hello Room,
So I am not sure everyone is like me but I am sad to mention that I have at several attempts tried to finish a course on UDEMY but failed. Often time I save up the money to buy the course but into the course, I find myself loosing the push in interest. Eventually, I dump the course and fall back to the feeling helpless.

I came up with a new idea and I am hoping that interested people who are hungry for knowledge like me would join in this. I would first share my idea hear and depending on how you agree with my suggestion, I would share a DISCORD group link here with a timeframe for a specific course on UDEMY.


These are my thoughts
1. Udemy has some of the best and cheapest courses online which often has discounts.

2. DISCORD group is preferred over WhatsApp to avoid distraction of chatting and other activities.

3. I have created a DISCORD Study Group called which I will share the link to interested persons.

4. Upon started the study group, a course would be picked from UDEMY and everyone would purchase it and we would share a timeframe on the group for study time, time for sharing knowledge and ideas, discuss points that we find hard to follow up on and so on.

5. The group is totally free to join but on joining the group, you can but only join the existing class of your choice.


If you are interested in joining this group, please know that you will have to purchase the course on UDEMY (which we will all pick) and a you will have to join the group at appointed study times.


Please indicate your interest.

FamilyUsing Okada A Threat To Pregnancy by apprentist(op): 11:06am On Mar 11, 2022
Hello Nlers
I have had this concerns in a long time now and decided to post it here to get your opinions.

How risky is it to move around on an Okada while you're pregnant? This is a concern to me because a friend of mine is unable to afford a car, and hence she's forced to board a bike daily to and from work which is quite distant. This is an early pregnancy.
HealthRe: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by apprentist(m):
Please advice,
My baby is almost 4 months old. We noticed that she breaths deep and sometimes fast almost like she is stressing. We are curious because asides this symptom, she is perfectly fine. What do we do?

We tried comparing with neighbour's baby but hers is faster and deeper.

Note: We've run some tests on her and all looks okay. (EUCr, FBC, MP). Please what do you thnk?

Hello Nlers,
Pls I am considering buying any of these devices to help me track FTA channels by myself. I heard Hellobox Smart S2 has better function with ability to watch Satellite channels on my android device while GTMedia is just for tracking channels with Android devices.

I saw both of them on Konga and thinking of which one to order.

Car TalkRe: Share Your First Driving Experience by apprentist(m): 12:23am On Dec 19, 2020
Nmanuanu:
My driving started the day my driver left to run his personal errand. He promised to get back in time but he didn't show up. After several calls, he eventually told me he cant come back to the island. CHAI!!!! I had never driven a car, or had driving lessons but I know I learn by watching and observing. Also, in preparation for a day like this, I had watched several youtube 'how to drive an auto car' videos. so I closed from work, got in the car and started moving (it was already past 8pm), I got to the gate and the security men with so much worry in their eyes asked if I could drive and I confidently said yes and dey asked so you can drive without light by this time of the night? I got the message and managed to turn on the light. I kept to one lane and people kept horning at me. I noticed I was always moving to the right, so whenever I hear the horns I straighten my tires. I also never used the traficators because I couldn't let my hand off the 10 and 2 position. I drove from VI to anthony that night. it was an out of body experience and I have driven myself since then (8 months now), never been hit or hit anyone, and my passengers always commend my driving. I will get my license soon.
I admire your story. Probably because I'm facing similar challenge now. The only available person that would have trained me is always busy. So I've decided to be training myself until I don't need him anymore.
