Couldn't help but laugh @ post. Now try and bring all of them together abd see how it all goes downhill because of money!

LaEvilIMiss:
My family and other relatives only calls when there is a major National Event (Public Holiday) to ask for money to celebrate.

There was one very annoying moment when they called for Christmas Celebrations - we sent Foodstuff and a total of N1.2 Million for a "Family Christmas" as soon as it was New Year just days after, they called for New Year Celebrations as well why are extended families so wicked. both December/January are hard times when Landlords are looking for rent and you squander N1.2 on Christmas and expect a similar amount for new year. If you are blessed with sensible extended families and siblings then you are truly blessed - mine are just dangerous parasites who don't care for the fact that they will be affected should you die from their numerous irresponsible requests for money, job and help.

If you get a call it is either to greet you and soften you up for the real call 30 minutes later - Lost Job because of their own irresponsibility, Pregnant for an illiterate Marlian, Police-case, Stolen Laptop or phone that needs replacing, house rent etc

Well, just run the toilet tap while doing it.

But you left your poo till midnight

How are you going to manage if you lived in open space house with powder/mini toilet room around your kitchen?

fineboynl:
I hate flushing toilet because I live up floor. sometimes I purposely leave it like that till in the midnight.

its so embarrassing when the toilet is flush from the upper floor. the force and noise it makes to come down. and the people around the compound and nearby start throwing spit. . not because they smell anything but the sound from other people flush is irritating. some even enter their house closing windows and doors.

the most sad part they know each time you use the toilet. unlike people on the down floor.

what's your take and experience regarding this topic.

thank you.

Interesting thread. Ummm....after all is said and done, there are many Arnold Schwarzeneggers in Nigeria - the only difference is - Nigerian Arnold would have beaten Maria black, blue and bloody and send her packing! Then move Ms. B in - shortly after, another cycle all over before Ms. C.

It's a long tale !

Biglittlelois:
Funny thread, we have the lowest of men on nl though, some anyway, the need to go personal when out gunned shows high level of weakness, lol.

True!!
You said it all. After 18 years old, whatever you do is your choice. Taking personal responsibility for choices made is one difficult thing many Nigerians find so hard to do.
The blame got to go round.

crackland:
All of that happened ONLY because of your bad decisions and the wrong kind of company you kept, it wasn't due to the style of discipline you were given by your dad.

If you had been involved in more profitable things like hanging out with the brightest students who spent their time studying and sitting at the front of the lecture hall, or perhaps you joined a religious Christian group and made friends from there, you would not have had anyone to drink, smoke, party, or do drugs with.

Your mom who wasn't strict, why didn't her relaxed disciplinary style have any effect on you?

Learn to have some personal responsibility for your choices.

Obe to ni style! I just want the snails.

Quinex2:
Okra soup with snails. Yorubas call it ila alasepo. My camera quality no too fine sha

I hope there will be change to buy condoms after buying okra and ice fish.

Shellsploit:
Lalasticlala sef
3k soup for family of 13

MC Hammer did the same thing the writer wanted his friend Mr. Kelechi to do. Help this, help that at your own risk. When MC became broke, the hanger on moved on and lived right ?
Dear Lord, please help us to know we can't reach everyone or save the world.

This life!

Hammer filed for bankruptcy in 1996, but today, he says his debt wasn't a matter of losing his head. "No, I lost my heart," he says. "I didn't just take the money and say, 'I want to be a blessing to myself.' I took my money and employed 200 people in my community. I had a payroll of a million dollars a month at times."

Risky moves!! Challenges ahead

I'm so sorry to hear that! May the good Lord continue to protect us. Stay safe!

Abbeybailey:
@Armyofone, please stay safe and the wind of Trumpvirus will go away. I lost two good friends we grew up here together in the last two weeks. Very painful indeed.

I'm not too sure about all of those I listed including Ms. Harris. I think most Republicans and independents aren't ready for a female in such top position. Biden needs Republicans and independents to win the election.
I may be wrong.

Abbeybailey:
Senator Amy State of Minnessota is in play and that might make Biden go for her. I think Biden wants Sen Kamala Harris but California is A BIG Blue State like Illinois. I am rooting for Sen Harris or my Sen Duckworth who is a real American hero in all sense of being a hero. Either way it goes, the morbidly obese one is done.

Hey, how are you - hope you and yours are staying safe.

Some little hummingbird just whispered that Amy G is the vpee choice.

I think he should not go with anyone that recently ran for the presidential position - Warren, Tulsi, Amy etc

Abbeybailey:
He's done. The only base he has left is the Nazis and Klans and the inbred in Deep South and Appalachia. That's why he's getting crazier everyday. Americans finally find out the Emperor has no clothes.

salted rim and maybe with some steamed shrimp "Homecoming" with Ms. Janelle is the movie

cococandy:
A lady after my own heart. Salted rims or no?

Either way I’m packing my luggage to come spend the weekend.

Always missing out of the good food and drinks
My catos are out ! I hope to get some margaritas this weekend and make some margarita ville

cococandy:
always late to the party

Your pizza is in my belly

Cococandy I missed the pizza party. Hope you kept mine in ziploc. Please I need the Lamborghini wine - on hard rock. In my way

Dem say she was supposed to wear babariga/buba/mallam style go relax inside jacuzzi na you dey mind them ?
I need to watch Eve Bayou again!

Dominatrix:
So being a pastor's wife means she can't swim in a bikini? F_ck outta here nigga!

Never give him your address. You can send him little help financially from the farthest distance available but NEVER open your doors for him.
Move on from such friends.

slyfox35:
Best friends or closest friends as some people term it is quite normal in the life of 80% of world population, I had one too.

We grew up as teens together, matured as adults together, he came to our house always and ate all his meals with us. My mom was really nice to him when she was alive. He wore my clothes and never returned them. I did not ask because my parents always provided for me although they were average citizens.

Then the worst thing in my life happened. I lost both my parents within the space of four years.
Things turned downhill for me (orphans do suffer a lot.. Too much suffering for you to believe there is even God in heaven who takes care of the fatherless and motherless).

My friend travelled to an African country. He kept telling me to come over there to work that things are better there. I kept declining but after a year of constant pressure, I decided to man up, packed my bags and travelled to meet him.

Guess what? I did not stay up to 5 days with him!!!

His attitude changed by the second day, he yells at me at every given opportunity, from his best friend, I turned to his boy, the heat he was given me was so bad that when he leaves the house and he comes back, I get scared just by hearing his footsteps. I virtually turned to a nonentity to him. I had no money on me because the little I had left, he collected it when I arrived. I knew no one, I felt so miserable and alone and I started regretting why I left Nigeria.

On the fifth day ,I woke up early in the morning and shook him up. I don’t know what got into me (but I am glad it did), I told him I can’t stay with him anymore and I want to leave. He did not even feel bad about this, he did not think of the fact that I know nothing and nowhere in this country. He let me go.

I packed my bag amid tears and went into the street. Mind you, I had no one to call back in Nigeria... It was tough on me but as a naija guy and as God will have it, I did not spend even a night on the streets. I was shocked that a total stranger took me in, clothed and fed me. He taught me everything he knows. I worked for 6 months and was able to make 2 million Naira. This was like a dream to me (If you get money ehn, to praise God Dey sweet o)

I came back to Nigeria, rented an apartment, furnished it and continued working from here.

This so called best friend of mine saw my posts and pictures on Facebook and video called me to check on me (I guess his eyes did not believe what he was seeing) he asked me if I am in a hotel, I said no, I am in my apartment. He was shocked (me I nor keep any grudge against you) he told me he was coming to Nigeria and that I should please forgive him and forget everything that happened. I told him I can forgive but can’t forget.

What surprised me most are this exact words he said “my guy, if I come, na your house I go relax first abeg”

Now my fellow Nairalanders, I am asking, how should I go about this?

I have forgiven him but should I allow him into my home?

Lady OP,

About time to count your blessings and find your way- don't forget to contact immigration or ICE to send him back home. He is using you and the drama ahead is not worth your time.

Everything gan!

Bros to you and I!

Eating a bros, no so cool!!

OlawaleBammie:
Wetin gan??
Whose brother?


Ahhh!!

Why would you eat a monkey ? What kind of hunger is in the land ?

That monkey is a brother!

Rain washed it off because they use native and white chalk to mark the lanes.

VaselineCrew:
Some roads may have lanes when just constructed, but as soon as they start to fade away, that is the end of the lane marking on that road, almost never to be re-marked again.

Generation after generation of Nigerian drivers keep adapting to the lawlessness of driving on roads without lane markings, further worsening the already chaotic driving situation aided by low level enforcement of law and order by the police force.

I guess to some, we should rejoice at the fact that we even have roads in the first place. Unfortunately, these people are somewhat justified, in the sense that, the unsightly sight of bad roads pervades the entire country.

All in all, we need to promote order in our society and lane markings are a step towards order, at least in terms of road transportation.

You cannot aspire to become a developed country and ignore the details, because the details are far from trivial.

So long a thread, let me start from page one.

that one done finish last night, Lord help ya pickin

cococandy:
Oh girl me too. Me too.

This one and Barefoot are my jams.

Banana bread....just a slice.

thank you!!
I like the Catos!

cococandy:
Armyofone here’s some wine for you . Wash it down with peppersoup . Or wash the peppersoup down with wine . Whichever way
Enjoy

Happy birthday to your hubby @ cococandy!

cococandy:
Dessert. I didn’t bake this cake but it was so soft and delicious

Look at how fat the man is - like an over filled bag of African grated cassava smh

Stay blessed and take it easy pal. Take time to enjoy yourself - poetry writing and novels reading are great ways to do that.
Before you go, please bring that ewa and custard again.

Akposy:
Thanks everyone for your support, suggestions and criticism. I really appreciate.

Like I said some days back, cooking has become more of a burden than fun and this lockdown has really been affecting me mentally (reason those hate speech got to me).
Well, I think it's time to take a huge break from cooking, food photography and social media. Everything has been overwhelming. As my sub expire tomorrow, local boy is going on temporary leave. Culinary art and food photography is one of the major reason I come online. It's time to focus on poetry and reading.

Muchas gracias. I'll miss you all

Okay come line for embassy and see if no go carry stick pursue you... no room for comparison due to level and seniority of the almighty $

Now share your own idea of watching movies
without light, biko

Romangalactic:
Lots of money and class how? Has Mr.T finished paying back her student loans or the mortgage he took on that Merc & the new crib or are you converting $ to naira equivalent and then using it to level her up to having lots of money . Na wah for nigeiran immigrants

I doubt it happened with her new born...their latches can be painful. She should wean once her type of feeling comes on.

RN with lots of money, class, pose and style - please respect
Cococandy, bring that wine come appease the god galaxy

@ topic
I think for me I will try to make it clear to my kids that what they are about to watch is not real. I will try to pause and discuss scenes- maybe bored them to their rooms
No chasing them away is the right thing to do.

AJ, you are doing well! I hope to learn from you how to raise tween and teen when the time comes

Romangalactic:
What this RN talking about,Must u comment?
Stick to posting food cos tis a bummer trying to chat shyte about things u have no clue about & embarrass yourself. When something is rated 16, it means it's for people above 16 not people under it. An 8 years old child should only be watching things rated family or pg, not even old enough for 13 rated.

What concerns 8 yrs and a 14 or 16 years old before

Alpha in $$$ too
Money gets you anything.

dangoteinlaw:
then look at the ones that married whites lot of them are living happily eg Dr DRe, even snoopdogg never married at all but had kids with black ladies, that further confirms the op ascension that black ladies are toxic. These rappers above where alpha males who knew their way around women and at the end got a better deal. Although some whites weren't that lucky eg Jeff benzos

Hmmmm
Not the right thing to do. Life is a game of chance. Bring her over, let her get the education and enlightenment that will help her hustle. Let your kids grow up with mom and dad. If the marriage turns sour, accept it as "life happens "
But don't just give up - humble yourself and do wip.

TIP: Teamwork and humility.
