rickpat: africans and their foolishness...western world that everybody goes by their first name have they died...if I were you,that friendship ends tonight...calling people their name is not disrespectful,it's their name ain't it?
be careful though,cus one day he will tell you to call the wife "aunty"(you know say Aunty get two meanings for naija)
USE YOUR TONGUE COUNT YOUR TEETH,THE WORST Thing WHEN FIT HAPPEN TO A MAN "NA SEE FINISH"...bounce before him and him wife see you finish bro
goodluck You are suggesting someone ends friendship because his friend just told him not to call his wife by her first name? I see no wrong in that.. respect his wishes and move on. I have never heard any of my dad's childhood friends call my mother her first name. I have never heard my dad call the wife of his friend by her first name. I personally don't call my friends wife by their first name and no one calls my wife by her first name not even my parents. But the bottom line is, the guys friend says he doesn't like him calling his wife by her first name.. RESPECT his wishes, RESPECT his boundaries!!! |

WackyJ1: No the friendship is dead.
He might have returned the money because of his pride. He didn't want someone to keep holding him because of money.
Regardless of his actions, the friendship is over.
If I start listing things about our past friendship that should have stopped him from going that far, then you will understand why the friendship cannot continue. Don't let your ego cloud your judgment! A man tells you not to address his wife by her first name, why is that a big deal? Why are you making it a big deal ?? J see no wrong in that. What happened to treating people how you like to be treated?? If you told your friend something you didn't like and he kept doing it because he used to change your diapers when you were younger or bla bla bla.. Would you be happy?? |

WackyJ1: I am a Nigerian in Africa, and you can call my wife by her first name if you knew me before I met my wife.
Thanks. Good for you !! This is your wish and everyone should respect that ! But your friend has his own wish too, respect his!!.. RESPECT!! RESPECT!!!! |

WackyJ1: Is it a crime to call the Wife of your friend by her first name?
I've known this guy since 2018. He met his wife in 2020.
They've done traditional wedding.
I once followed this guy to law faculty of our school during our Masters program and spent 6 hours typing the project of his then ex.
The same ex ended up blaming him for her misfortune.
I'm the best man for his white wedding tomorrow.
Yet, he's warning me for calling his wife her first name in the same sentence where I also referred to my girlfriend by her own first name.
He claims I was wrong and he has refused to apologise.
I need this one the front page.
Was I wrong?
MORE DETAILS https://www.nairaland.com/7563621/it-wrong-call-friends-wife/2#120932806 You did something and someone tells you, they don't like it. Why are you MAKING IT A BIG DEAL?? Some people don't care and wouldn't mind if you called their wife by her first name but this your friend says he doesn't like that. Why don't you respect his wishes?? How is it that hard?? Let's not create unnecessary friction between ourselves, we have a lot going on this country as it is. RESPECT!!! |

Properties › Re: Is Our Landlord Using Our Glory While We Stay In His House by Badgers14: 10:09pm On Feb 10, 2023 |
Road2Success: Hello nairalanders,
Please I will want you all to read this. though I am not a good writer. I rented an apartment somewhere on the Lagos island. We are just 4 in the compound. When I parked into my apartment my wife came with a pregnancy but we lost the baby when she gave birth to the boy. The following year she got pregnant again, The baby also died the day she gave birth. I am not a religious person but my wife is closer to God. She has been telling me about this compound but I just don't have any reason to think or suspect anything.
Lemme tell you in my compound if one of us is working the others will lose there job. I have no reason to be suspecting anything untill I heard that one of the tenants is owning our landlord 2 years rent and our landlord didn't raise voice. In this Lagos that I know landlord don't joke with house rent. Our landlord don't bother us for rent. Sometimes I will be the one sending the house rent to him without him even asking.
I also heard that was the same thing that happened to previous occupants. They lived there without paying for many years and the landlord didnt disturb them.
I won't say our live is better in this house. We are just struggling to survive. Currently I am the only one working while others don't have a job. I am beginning to doubt if our landlord is truly a generous man as we do called him, since he don't bother us for rent.
My wife have lost two pregnancy in this house. I have been jobless many times in this house. I honestly need people opinion on this matter.
Is this house diabolic or the landlord is just a generous man
Moderators please help me move this to front page Brother me, read between the lines of your own statement and see the answers. You are seeing it before your eyes.. do you need Saint Peter's to come down from his throne to tell you? Leave that house!! |

Look at those currencies with 20,000, 10,000,2000 notes. Compare those country's economy etc and compare that with Nigeria. It is an insult to put Zimbabwe and Nigeria in the same sentence but with the way APC govt is going and the speed our economy is going , well..

So when she made that statement, I was shocked. I didn't know were that idea came from. I was speechless and angry at the same time, so I had ask her again, hoping she will say that its a joke. but she repeated it . Oga abegi Sidon one place... If the girl don't have the attributes you like about her, would you think about marrying her?? She don't want to date broke guys.. and you wouldn't want to date girls that don't have the attributes she has, so  ? |
Romance › Re: My Fiancee Jokingly Said She Will Separate Me And My Brother When We Get Married by Badgers14: 11:40am On Jan 26, 2023 |
priceactionx: Oga Paul, she is right. Please define a marriage. If you can genuinely define it, then you will be matured to handle what may come your way. Yours is to protect her especially a young marriage. She does not have a problem with your brother until your brother insist he would be sending her on an errand. Who does that? As for say na him marry her or assistant husband? You too dey support nonsense. He is a brother not your mum for Christ sake. when you married, and you want peace, you first of all separate family members coming to stay from those that just coming once in a while. No matter what your brother might have done for you, he can always come like a visitor and your marriage will have peace. If you want him to always be around you, let him get his apartment close to you and get an house help to do the running up and down, and you can always visit each other. once she is married to you, she won't allow someone sending her up and down for no reasons. She is not a house help but your own help mate talk less of being an errand girl for another person that is not feeding her. Baba.. Reason am na. if you can't abide by simple marriage code that can bring early peace, no need to marry at all. It's that simple. Very well written.. This is one of the many reasons wives are treated like trash when their husband is late. Because the husband allowed some nonsensical attitudes towards the wife when he was alive.. now that he is dead people will be bold x100 and be doing anyhow.. and the woman will be suffering.. |
Romance › Re: My Fiancee Jokingly Said She Will Separate Me And My Brother When We Get Married by Badgers14: 11:26am On Jan 26, 2023 |
Ndubuisipaul1: My fiancee told my younger brother that she will send him out of my house if we get married. She was joking, but it didn't sound like a joke to me.
Let me tell you how this started. My younger brother told my fiancee jokingly, that he will be sending her on errand anyhow, when she marries me. Although he went too far for saying he will be sending her on errand anyhow. But he has every right to send her on errand because he senior her. She then replied that if my brother do anyhow, when we get married she will ask me to send him away from my house. At this point I stop seeing the whole discussion as joke. I asked her to repeat what she said, she repeated it again (take note: she was saying everything jokingly)
I told her right away that if my brother comes visiting when we get married, she will not send him away. She said she will use her woman power to make me send him away.
She went further to ask me, that if they ask me now to choose between her and my brother who would I choose. I told her I would choose my brother (she could see the seriousness in me).
And I really meant it, any girl that will separate me and my brother will have to use jazz .
This my younger brother established the business that I am doing today. Has done countless number of things for me.
We don't joke with each other, and she knows that.
So am really scared, could this be a joke ? even though it a joke. How can a woman joke that she will separate two brothers ?
Nairalanders, please help a brother with your advice. is this a red flag ? Oga be calming down sef.. Actually you are the one in the wrong here. Whether those words were said jokingly or not you role as in-between person here is to mediate and make sure no party is doing pass themselves. Your wife should treat your family with utmost respect and your brother whether older or younger should treat your wife and her family with utmost respect... respect is reciprocal... By the way, why in the hell would your brother send your own wife to an errand, is he crazy?? I don't give a flying fùck if he set up a business for you, gave you one of his kidney that's just an unnecessary and nonsensical attitude.. I mean, I am even outraged reading your write up and your own position on this issue. On the other hand, why would your wife chase out your brother from your house? That's improper also speaking in general terms.. So now, as a 34 year old man with common sense, this is where you put your maturity to good use making sure either side is not doing pass themselves.. If you wife is going to the market or have someone in her office selling sth, your brother could ask her politely to help him source this and that... there's nothing wrong with that.. Your brother can also visit you when you are married and respect his boundaries, there's nothing wrong with that as well.. But if your brother comes to your house and tell your wife to go and buy something for him just like that.... then my question would be , IS HE NORMAL?? IS HE OKAY?? ABI NA CRAZE DEY WORRY HIM? I have a brother myself and I know what I have done for him.. I don't go to his house and be sending hi wife to an errand upadan.. if I need something, I ask her politely and she gets it for me.. if I need food or water.. I ask politely.. I don't just get up and go to her fridge and pick up stuff or open pot of soup and dish my food or tell her to go and buy me beer.. RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT!!! If my brother comes to my house and acts anyhow, I, badgers14 will pursue him from my house myself and depending on the severity of the issue, I can also tell him not to come to my house again.. my wife need not tell me to do any of this.. that's me using my maturity and better judgment to make a grown man decision. Also, when I identify problems I will address it promptly either with my wife overdoing it or my brother crossing the boundaries , I will be having some good conversations with him. Bottom line is RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT!!! Cheers!! |

Wawelexy: If after buying from him you still have something reasonable to hold on to as profits, I would advice you just patronise him, cos he might still be the door to a breakthrough contract, but if you spoil the relationship cos of little money, you might not regret it tho but might be loosing a lot.
Moreso, that company could refer you to others who your brother won't be your supplier by then anymore, except by choice.... So Just see it as you giving him some money and do the work perfectly...  In addition to this, op gotta thread careful with family.. he might get all the profits but will not have peace of mind. If op still have some meat on the bone after the brothers quote.. I will suggest he go with the brother.. it doesn't make sense business wise I know.. But just like the Bible tells us, what shall it profit a man to inherit the earth and loose his soul.. What shall it profit op to inherit all the profit and don't have peace of mind? |
