If trump acts now they'll say he's racist.
Trump fueled this thing, with his divisive and hwte filled politics.. why didnt he negotiate with the protesters like he urged democratic governors to negotiate with armed protesters protesting the Covid 19 lockdown??

I think Derek must have had a beef with Floyd prior and waiting for the right time to strike cuz they had both worked together in the same company for many years.

Donald Trump's statement incited the violence more.
I agree with you 100%.. you sounded like someone that have shunned politics and taken a holistic approach to these situations .. kudos!!

This is no longer for late Floyd, I smell politics all over this.
What are the odds that the opposition party didn't incite a reasonable percentage of these series of events just to make Trump look too stupid and incapable of maintaining order with diplomacy?
Do you recall few weeks ago when Trump urged Democratic governors to negotiate with armed protesters in their state capitol?? Just so you know, possession of a firearm in a state Capitol building is illegal and a felony from the state of New York to The great state of Texas!! So the armed protesters were breaking the law but Trump encouraged them.. over the weekend, he went to hide in the bunkers as soon as protests approached the White House, why didnt he come out and negotiate with the protestershuh

Morale of the story , politicians are hypocrites. Be careful what you wish for..

Finally, Trump forgot that he is not only the president of conservative Americans, he is the president of the whole country, liberals and conservatives alike..

At a time like this, that's when you need a leader to step up and be a leader... rather, he was inciting hate filled speech via Twitter even at a time of disaster and chaos, shame on him!!

For someone who went into debt just to bring his wife and kids abroad (I.e plane tickets), because visa fees are only a few hundred dollars a piece.
I wonder what he has that she will take from him in a divorce grin

Some of you are hilarious when you type long nonsense thinking it makes sense.
E big like say dem just buy phone give you abi? Someone dont buy mb dash you and two of us are online throwing barbs righthuh

Don't say what you dont know, so what you dont know dont kill you... this is a proverb.

Like I told you in my prior response, ask questions to know the real answers.. dont make up a narrative to satisfy your curiosity.

You don't even sound like someone that understands the system abroad and have seen or witnessed real cases. Again live what you dont know alone.

Also a forcefully seized passport can be reported stolen. All she needs is to make the call and give them her SSN. It will only time a little while before the old one is deactivated and she gets a new one. Apparently she’s a citizen since only citizens can own American passports. I’m assuming he didn’t lock her up somewhere where she has no access to phones.

Make una softly with all these feel-good stories that obviously reek of lies to anyone who knows better. Sounds like the figments of someone’s imagination.
Things they hope they could do but obviously can’t.
Dont fill in the blanks in your head to fit your own narrative. Ask real questions to find out the real answers.

Who told you she was a citizen? Which countries passport did the lady have?? Who gave you all these crap you thought it was information? You just manufactured scenes to fit your imagination, that doesn't mean your imagination is the reality.

Again, divorce could be dirty sometimes that why I said planning prior to divorce to figure out a way to come out on top at the end.

Remember not everything people assume is "wrong" is illegal. Dude didn't break any law.

Disclaimer: I AM NOT A SAINT AND MY WIFE IS NOT THE DEVIL. I HAVE JUST BEEN UNFORTUNATE TO BECOME A VICTIM OF MATRIARCHY WHICH MANY MEN SUFFER ABROAD...

I have been hustling abroad for a few years while wifey was working in Nigeria and living with children. Marriage has always been turbulent and we even almost got divorced after I travelled out. We somehow worked on our issues with the help of pastors, family and friends, and after a few years of ''roughing'' it abroad to pave way for them, I finally succeeded and my family arrived a few months ago.

I used to be hot tempered, but I have had enough time to gain insight into my inadequacies and reflect on them. I am now significantly calmer due to the determination to make my marriage better and as per ''abroad levels''. My wife on the other hand is fully taking advantage of me and the environment we find ourselves in. First thing she did on getting here was to cut of my entire family. She said she doesn't want to have anything to do with any of them anymore. She has also not been too keen to kickstart her career, as all she does is endless picture taking and editing for social media hyping. I know this might be due to the initial ''euphoria'' phase cos she is coming abroad to a big house, big car and having no limits on most things we used to manage back in Nigeria, and she thinks things are bread and butter. You would never think for a second that she is a married woman if you check her profiles on social media!

She has become even more toxic person than she ever was in Naija. Now very bossy, never backs down, always the attacker, ever ready for a fight, lazier, always on social media, communicates with me as little as possible, embarrasses me in the neighbourhood with the constant noises from our house, and finally her threats have now tripled! Madam is now so fierce that I have become the house chicken. Just within a few months of being here o! She tells me that she will show me for all the ''gra gra'' I used to do back in Nigeria. Friends advised me against bringing this woman here but I no wan hear word as per responsible family man wey I dey claim to be.

The popular threat is usually ''I will end your career''. I wasn't taking this too seriously initially, but she then started following through with the threats by constant calls to the police and other services, making spooky and baseless career ending accusations and allegations against me.

I have never been the one to first lay my hands on her, but I have spilled drinks on her before when she attacked me. My wife now gets very physical without having any element of self control, fear or restraint after the simplest argument and sometimes, she damages things out of anger. She does this so often and never hesitates to dare me to do my worst.

I discovered that she has signed up on dating sites and when I even caught her chatting about sex to a particular guy in our area, she said that it was all my fault. She did not apologise for this. She even referred to it one time after an argument that if I am convulsing like this over just a sex chat, she's waiting to see what I'd do when I see a man on top of her.

My productivity at work has declined significantly and I am now on the verge of depression. Neighbours called the police on us one time after a lot of noise from out house. She accused me of domestic violence. The police had to separate us and I was stuck at home for an extended period and could not go to work due to this. I am now being investigated for domestic violence, which is a serious crime as madam wants it and I have had to report the situation to my company! The whole thing is so messy that I am scared that I have not seen the worst yet.

I am so afraid of losing it all and returning to Nigeria broke cos I spent my last card and even racked credit card debt to bring them here hoping to pay off gradually. I still have a few years to get my citizenship and if I lose my job now, that is the end for all of us!

For now, I don't know what is going to happen to us, as this woman is so determined to cause great and irreparable damage that could ruin our lives, just to get back at me and she is being cheered on by her family and friends.

THE SITUATION IS SO MESSED UP!

UPDATE:

Divorce has now been filed. I also recently got lucky as I was able to secure a restraining order when she messed up again and hit me daring me to do my worst. I called the police and made a proper case and she was arrested. She has been banned from the house for a month. The police advised me to talk to my lawyer and extend indefinitely if I want to. I hope to get this done ASAP. The law here does not only protect women but also protects innocent men. All you need is patience and wisdom. Thank you all for your ideas. Still several hurdles to cross but I am on the winning side for now.
I hope you had a conversation with a divorce attorney prior to filling one.

Not sure which country you reside or which state (if U.S). Sometimes the situation might even be worse when you fill for divorce, like if you have to share your property 50 50 and pay spouse support... she will take half of your property and will never get married again or even want to work because the spousal support will stop.

This is one of the reasons why divorce is sometimes bloody... check OJ Simpson.

People are upset the woman is trying to reap where she did not sow... clean out the guy and guy man don't want to smoke back from ground zero...

Not admiring the bloody divorce tho..
I know a guy that went through this one time.. he kept calm played along, have his men dem in 9ja hype up the lady, around one of the holiday season sent a car to Nigeria told the let's visit home, she gave her a list of what to buy for her and for her whole village..dude purchased all...

On arriving to Lagos after clearing the airport... he took away everything from her including her passport, and filed for divorce in Lagos... this was a very carefully laid out plan...it was an ambush. She was served paperworks the same day she landed in Nigeria. That's all he needed, to serve her the paperwork, she thought it was a joke... she was a no show during proceeding and divorce was granted. It costs a bit a of money but wayyy less than he would have spent in the U.S.

Again, not recommending anything just a story on how people go crazy during this divorce process and also to ask questions prior to filing, like questions on how to come out on top...

People that live in communal property states, some intentional rack up debts , re mortgage the house, like taking off all the meats in the bone then file... knowing that they would lose the bone but again they have securer to "meat" to help them back up from ground zero. It's all about planning.

Cheer up my guy, I have heard so many of these stories from guys in the U.S and Europe and it's not even funny.

diordaves:
I take it you don't want to install a bath, so it is the traditional Nigerian wet room. IF the tiling is done right, there is little chance of leakage. So you MUST bevel the tiling (floor) towards the drain. So water flows swiftly towards the drain and water doesn't gather on the floor after each bath.

With this arrangement and the right kind of cement slurry during tiling, there should be no leakage.

However, if you think your decking was done badly, introduce (nylon) membrane while tiling. But this is truly not necessary.
"Nigerian Wet room" grin

That's a perfect name for it.. I am not a big fan of the "wet room". But people seem to like it...

Quick question:

I have seen a number of "self contain" bathrooms with accessories fixed differently.

What is the correct or say the most efficient way to install bathroom accessories??

I have seen many bathrooms with the toilet on the window side, wash hand "basin " on the opposite side and then shower in the middle. I am having trouble understanding the concept behind this arrangement.

Is this the proper arrangement?

Romance › Re: She Said She Can't Marry Me Because I Am A Tailor by Badgers14: 6:43am On Apr 29, 2020
ProfDview1:
There is this lady I like so much, even my friends know that I like her so much and will love to spend the rest of my life with her.

One day, I saw her with my friend and I later asked her why she is so close to my friend. She said they are dating each other, that she cannot marry me simply because I am tailor.

My friend is a yahoo boy, he doesn't have any work. The only way he eats is via internet scam. To be honest I was so pained, moreover she is not the only lady to have done this to me. Have met several ladies that told me that they can't marry a tailor and they end up dating yahoo Boys for my street.

They always tell me to leave my tailoring job and go hustle like my frnds to make cool money.

Guys, I am tired.. Should I leave the tailoring job and join my friends to do the yahoo stuff?

Girls keep rejecting me up and down and I am fed up.

Pls advise me
Man up!!

You are not a tailor.. you are a fashion designer.

When someone asks you what you do for a living
. That's tour answer.. FASHION DESIGNER.

Learn how to polish yourself!!..

Do you think your yahoo boy friend will tell her he is a yahoo boyhuh He will say he is into import and export grin

But seriously tho, dont look down on your self.. keep your head up.. and dont engage in anything illegal to impress anyone...

Cheers!!

Hi,

Please don't advise people to use blocks that's been exposed for several years for construction. Other than partitioning. Such block should not be used for substructure work or superstructure wall carrying dead loads.

Conduct a compressive strength test on your exposed blocks and show us the result.


Thanks
Thanks everyone that responded..

Man, I had the same feeling myself. I dont feel it is safe to use for a multi story building... i wouldnt have worried if it was a bungalow or even a duplex but for a multi storey building? That's one of those head scratching moments..

The blocks in question is more than 5,000. Or should be more than 5000 pending what the thiefs have moved in the past 4 years.

I will post the pictures in due course.. grass have covered both the land and the blocks.. after the look down, I will have someone clean it up and I will post the pictures of the block.
