Family › Re: My Husband And His Mother!!! by Badgers14: 1:21pm On Jun 08, 2019 |
Biggermembersro: Some people's sole aim in this world is to provoke people intentionally, I am a "slow to react to anger" kind of person and I always stay in my lane and mind my business, once I smell trouble coming from afar, I run to the opposite direction as fast as my leg can carry me, I come from a tribe where you have to respect elders no matter the situation same as what my Bible says so what gives abeg.......
My husband always praise his mum cos she trained him to med school here in U.S.A, of course who wouldn't just like I don't joke with my dad cos he did well for his six kids, so he adores his mum, praises her in every situation, always at her beck and call, I didn't see it as a big deal cos, well, it's his mum, we met here in NY, he and his family stay in Maryland while I was schooling in NY, the plan was when we get married I'll go back and forth till I finish school then move to Maryland, so I took in, you know first pregnancy how difficult it is, so one of those days i went to ML for the weekend one time, during that period, his mum had a get together so everyone is expected to be there, being in my first trimester, I was sick and told her I can't be there, she insisted and I told her I'll try, when the time came I was too ill to go anywhere so I didn't go, all for his mum to come later that night and was shouting saying and I quote "when I tell my son your husband to run he will run, even if I tell him to jump he will do just that so who are you to tell me you can't come, what silly sickness, if I blow that your belly, highest is you'll loose the pregnancy and then take in again,nothing is going to happen" that is exactly what she said, I was shocked, my husband was there looking he didn't say anything, his father was there, he shouted at her that why would she say something like that, his mum shut him down saying all manner of unsayable things because she was more like the breadwinner, his sister, that one cannot talk if not the mother will insult her very existence just because she got pregnant out of wedlock but she still married the father ooo, me, my mouth was open, I couldn't talk cos I dont even know what to say, when they left hubby didnt even try to ease my mind or anything, the next day I jejely left for NY, vowing that my leg will never step into ML anymore.
Sincerely I was tempted to abort and divorce my husband because I don't understand how someone can say evil like that, even if it was a joke, that was nonsense, since then I've been in NY, I gave birth here, Dre has been the one coming here, it's not like me and his mum don't talk, she calls and we talk, sometimes I call too, all for recently, infact last week Dre says he got an opening for a job here and he wants to take it, I blatantly told him NO, because his parents couldnt work anymore due to health and all so they are staying with him in ML, him moving here means his mum will do that too, I told him no that I like things the way they are, no issues, nothing, I cannot stay in the same house with his mum because we will have issues that one is certain, he started shouting, I reminded him of what his mother said two years ago, he now said it is the past, which past? Now that I'm working I am expected to leave my babies with her, call me delusional the instinct of a mother is to protect her children, even if she may not do anything, we will still have issues and I don't want that before someone say I'm disrespectful when I talk back.
If I decide to turn American now, I'll just tell him he can't bring anyone here without my permission, but no, I won't tell him that, some of their laws here is stupid to be honest and I'm a nice person and I was born and bred in the north in Nigeria also I don't want to escalate issue, I am the only one here, my family is in Nigeria and i never mentioned any of this to them so it won't turn to family issues, now he's not talking to me saying he will take drastic measures, it will not pass divorce and custody battle of which I know I will win but I don't want that for my kids, they need their parents in the same home not divorced, my own is he should stay where he is and take care of his parents and continue worshiping his mum, is it that hard?
I dey vex abeg, pls advice on other options fam. I feel very sorry you are going through this and from your write up, it seems you are a nice person. Considering America and their laws, they should have been the ones stressed up and not you but like you said, you choose a different path. This situation weakens me because I have witnessed a similar situation myself. Only thing I could say is, do not blind side your family completely. Remember his family is here in the U.S while yours is outside the U.S. I am not saying call your village people and complain. You could tell your mom unto mother / daughter talk or your sister as sister/sister talk. Just incase of incasity. Recall, from what you said, your husband stated, he will take drastic measures? Who knows what he is thinking. It is nice to share with Nairaland family, but remember you can't blindside your blood family. Blood is thicker than water.. You know what I mean? |

firstbornson: Haven't done this before, but I want to know your honest, experienced and well thought out opinions. I'm really depressed but I won't take Snipper (that devil is a liar). If you don't have anything serious and reasonable to say, please, just read comments (I know as e dey be for here, sometimes).
Its quite a long read. Apologies for any grammatical or typographical error encountered.
Here is my story.
My younger sister who is staying with me disrespects me alot, and she doesn't take my advice. My parents stay very far away and I feel responsible for her. It frustrates me whenever I tell her something and she will wait to do it at her own time or not do it at all. She even sometimes abuses me indirectly.
She is 19, came to stay with me last year November, for a Predegree program, after staying at home for two years without admission. After the first semester of her program, her result was released and it was very disappointing. She made 51% in only one course of four courses, while others are below that. To be honest, I felt I failed in my responsibilities of giving her the right counsel, motivating her, and all that. All she does is press her phone all night long, that's if she isn't watching a movie with her phone. She'll sleep and wake up the next morning by 8 or 9am.
Recently, there's this guy who happens to be my late landlord's first son in the compound where we stay that she has been spending too much time with in dark corners and I can tell in my gut that he's up to no good. He doesn't go to work, school, church, nowhere. He just seats at home all day, smoking weed and any other smokable substance he can lay his hands on. Sometimes, his friends come around and they smoke and play PES 2011 on a laptop. Lest I forget, he's also a cultist. He has tried on several occasions to make me a yahoo boy, but I had to consciously refuse.
My apologies for the long read.
About a week ago, this guy asked her to cook indomie for him, and she did, using our gas, without telling me. This got me really up set. I had to take several deep breaths. I calmed down and allowed her finish. After she was done, I asked her to seat down and we started talking. While we were talking, she started responding rudely to me.
This made me hit her for the first time in 19 years (I hate hitting them). To my utmost surprise, she hit me back. That singular act made her receive a very hard beating that she sustained lots of injuries. She immediately called home and my parents where now shouting at me on phone. My dad came the next day and said lots of things. My mom said lots of things on phone which just piss me off the more, called me all sought of names. Said I shouldn't allow the devil that is controlling take me close to my sister.
Right now, I hate all of them. My dad, mum, and sister. If I was financially buoyant enough, I would have moved out of this house. I feel really depressed, being having nightmares and I so much hate the fact that am still living here.
By the way, am male, 24, studying Biochemistry, should have finished my first degree last year but I'm having an extra year (3 spill over courses).
How do I move from here? Advice me. Your dad and mom called and yelling and all. Did you tell them why you did what you did (not that beating her was the best option) But at least does your parents know your sisters changed attitude??, her hanging around with a "cultist" , her failing all her courses. Her action of using your gas to cook indomie for the cultist guy  ? You better tell them so they know.. if she carry belle , your own don finish. Open your mouth and tell your parents the whole story before it is too late !! |

In as much as I despise Okorocha, he might end up victorious.
Reason: INEC refused to issue him certificate of return and have not called fresh election.
If indeed INEC believed the duress story, why not cancel the election and schedule a new one?
So in the absence of a new election, by default INEC did not believe the story of the officer under "duress".
AND, in as much as I hate to type this last sentence Oshiomole and INEC have over played thier games. Rocha's should be declared winner and handed his certificate of return.. yuck yuck.. but APC and INEC made a mess of the situation. |

Just curious, that doesn't just sound right.
Why should a Christian be forced to accept something that he or she does not believe in ??

Sports › Re: Man United Could Pay Sanchez £12m Next Season Not To Play For Them by Badgers14: 2:56pm On May 15, 2019 |
logon599: I really don't envy the job Ole's got at United. Because what has happened is that since Ferguson left, players have identified United as the club to go and collect bogus salary while doing almost nothing. Mourinho was the only coach post Ferguson that demanded more from the players and that's partly why he was always clashing with them, especially lazy-in-chief Pogba.
Can you imagine giving Lingard a £100,000 a week contract? for doing what? How did he con them into giving him that? Shouldn't that be investigated? Or are there bosses at old trafford just giving contracts away for fun? As a result now Solskjaer has got a lot of overpampered deadwood to clear out before they can even begin to think of seriously challenging for anything. No wonder he said it will take time. Lingard's salary isn't that much.. when healthy he have scored some important goals for the club and he is 24 or 26. The biggest scam that requires FBI and Scotland yard police investigations is Sanchez. At 60 years old collecting 500,000 a week  He wasn't even that good during his last playing days at arsenal. What have he done for United  I was really really disappointed that Mourinho agreed to that deal. One downside I dont like about Mourinho is he believes more in established players and can sell the farm to acquire them. He doesn't really believe in nurturing players. But Sanchez is the flop of the flop... probably the flop of the century with that big salary. |

In the western world. I think only U.S.A and Canada have birth right citizenship jus soli.
Even though the kids were born in Germany that does not automatically qualify them for German citizenship unless either of their parents is a citizen.
The lady keep emphasizing she does not have Nigerian passport but, well although Nigerian consulate are notorious in issuing travel documents to foreign countries to deport their citizens back to murtala Mohammed.. the lady did not state or maybe I didn't hear that she was a legal resident in Germany or a German citizen or she was married to a German citizen.
Anything that could justify her legal stay. |
