Please help me.

I have a Bsc In Mathematics from OAU, and I'm a good Mathematics tutor and that's about it.

I am quite conservative in everything and that's about it.

I will move out in three months if things don't pan out as planned.

For the love of God, assist me with accommodation.

Thanks and I look forward to paying back someday.

Yeah, he doesn't. What is your definition of "right"?

Marrying somebody you dislike because she is pregnant? Then when he comes back here for advice, we will still castigate him for bowing to pressure when his heart wasn't in the marriage from the beginning.

It's more important for him to take care of the baby and for them to be functioning parents than for him to marry her.

If we had more details we could urge him to marry her, make child legitimate and make it a traditional African Christian/Muslim family, but from the way he's sounding, that wouldn't be fruitful. He doesn't like her and she has already cheated on him before

It's not an ideal situation and I don't advocate for giving birth to kids out of wedlock, but I am more concerned for the welfare of that baby.
Okay, I understand your pov.

You can break up with her and tell her you'll still take care of the baby. I hope your family won't pressure you to marry her?
Is it good thing if the lady's family do not pressure him to marry her? Is it right? Is he going to leave her for other unmarried fellows?

I have a related issue myself..
she kept denying it was a pregnancy to everyone including me till she later travelled to her people then she was telling me on the phone it was pregnancy..told her as long as she is sure its mine no problems.. in my mind I decided that I will be responsible till I do the DNA to be sure...and if later I find out it Is not mine.. Will simply walk away..counting the expenses as the price for my own errors and if its mine.. will be so much happy that she will start to receive extra care from me..even though I know she can be tricky many times
You are a responsible man and I like your reasoning.

[quote author=wwwkaycom post=84331843]Bose is an outgoing and sexually active young lady of 26, she got married to her hubby in November, 2018, they are now blessed with a big baby boy.
She was my student and very close to me and my family during her ND and HND days. She is just like a member of my family. I know that she was involved with two guys then, one a student in the same school during her ND and the other, a businessman in town during her HND days. Her affair with the businessman didn't materialise into marriage because the man wanted her to get pregnant first, a proposal she vehemently opposed because its like a taboo in her family and her religious organization. That relationship broke and she met another guy who I didn't really know in 2017. She told me that the guy was easygoing and fun loving too so I didn't really had much advise to give other than the normal talks about being of good behaviour etc.
They got married in November 2018, she relocated to live with her hubby in Abuja, now they're blessed with a very big baby boy.
She visited me with her baby last weekend when she came to attend the funeral of her uncle here in Ondo State. She stayed in my place. It was then we really had time to talk. She told me that her husband believes so much in some archaic things that is affecting her badly. For instance, he doesn't believe in the use of Air Conditioner because it is carcinogenic, he had sex with her last the day he realised she was pregnant in January. She said her hubby believed having sex with a pregnant woman will hurt the baby. She put to bed in August and since then nothing has happened because the hubby said no sex until breast feeding is over so that the breast milk will not be contaminated with semen, I have been laughing since then but its not a laughing matter. She said this guy is so serious with these wrong facts and is not willing to let it go for anything and that she had engaged him in discussions over this many times with the guy sticking to his points. She said the guy is so caring and the way he dots on her and the baby is out of this world. He hired a nanny for her. the nanny followed her to Ondo State for the funeral and stayed with her in my place. Honestly, I haven't heard this kind of thing before. I told her I'll post it on nairaland and she said I should go ahead and that she will be interested in reading people's comments. I actually admonished her not to look the way of any other guy or be involved in extramarital affairs as that could lead to problems she won't be able to handle. She said that is almost impossible in the environment she lives in Abuja and the way her husband dots on the family. Good people, kindly advise please.[/quote]Why are people responding to this post? Bs. Don't you see it's a clever work of the imagination.

I said the law is universal in its application, men, women, rich and poor are all subjected to the divorce laws of the state they wish to seek the divorce. It’s in my post, you quoted out of context to make your point.

If you believe women make some contributions to marriage. What is the best way to reward such contributions if the union ends?
If you're married to a rich man or woman, the pleasure ends when the union ends.

On the other hand, if it's found that one spouse has made a significant contribution like raising the kids etc, etc, then they should be compensated, but the compensation should not be related to my net worth. Anything above $500k in a divorce settlement is over the top because at the current minimum wage, working $10/hour for 50 hours in a week, that is more than 20 years salary.

This makes it $2000 a month and $24, 000 a year. You don't see that that's downright nonsense. Where were you when the business, which is now a marital assets, was languishing and everyone refused to help? Where were you when I grind hard day and night to be successful, and just because I married you, we get to slash the marital assets. I am not going to argue with you. Sit down and think this through please. It is not fair.

liberalchick:
And you’re objective? There are no thoughts or posts that is objective or rational if it’s not in context. $750M =\= $750M. Again, the law is universal across states, a ratio is used to divide communal properties. Man, woman, rich, poor are judged by the same laws.

Are you rational in saying a law should be done away with because the 1% are ‘losing’ a portion of their wealth? When the law works just fine for 99% of the population who have to come together to build wealth. Most women are not models that end up with multi millionaires/billionaires. Most women work, raise children, give emotional support etc to build their marriage, the law was created to recognize those contributions!!!

You are rational but you want an organized society to do away with a law because rich men can’t stop marrying gold diggers.

To you the law doesn’t make sense because you think women don’t contribute to marriage and they should be kicked out with nothing when the marriage ends. Civil and sane society disagrees with you. A marriage is a union where both become one to build a communal wealth and each states have different laws to calculate what ratios each deserve when the union ends, that is a fair and just law.

In America you have two options, if you believe women don’t contribute to communal wealth, then don’t marry. If you believe they contribute somewhat but not up to the definition of the state, then you get a prenup.

At the bolded;
1. Do you reside in the states?
2. Are you married and reside in the states?
3. Have you ever sought a divorce in the states?
4. Are you a divorce attorney?

Where are you getting your info from? I know where I am getting mine.
Who told you the law is universal? Divorce laws isn't a federal one and most states have their divorce laws and it's method of execution. Just see what you're saying, are you rational in saying a law should be done away with because the 1% are ‘losing’ a portion of their wealth? Lol, so it is okay for the exaggerated one percent to lose their wealth as long as it works for the general population? Where did you get that from? Please spare me that. Do you know that more than 7 million Americans have at least one million dollars in their account and do you know the statistics of men in that range?

This is the mischief of the judicial system: an average American man wants his wife to work, he doesn't want a sahm, so why is she getting the good end of the bargain. I am not being ignorant of good women's contribution in marriage but I am talking about what they get to receive for these contributions. I am a Nigerian nah, so why are you being sarcastic?

@Baldwretch

Thanks for that awesome reply. You can also check out my reply to her in the post preceding yours. That moniker is known to always act as an apologists for the wicked and irrational divorce and child support laws. This is what you get when you debate with these girls. They will always twist things, lie, and cleverly "edit" the facts to win their case. Notice how she was trying to use shaming by suggesting you are looking at things through a poor man's lens (broke shaming) and it is okay for a woman who has probably never generated $500,000 in her life to make away with $750M because that amount is like 75 cent to her. Lol, calculating Tiger's net worth before the divorce, you have to that broke for that amount to be like 75cents to you. Ever Donald Trump ($4B net worth) would weep if such was taken away from him unfairly. For her to say such, she has probably never worked for money in her life or toiled to amass great wealth. Perhaps, it's her usual dishonesty.

Anyway, we can see that these girls are crooks of devilish proportion and are plain liars and manipulators. Notice how she paints these laws to be for the greater good of both genders as she ignored that these laws are being exploited are putting men to great misery and even suicide. Such laws have even led the establishment of the MGTOW movement and it's rapid growth. Tell me how these laws are beneficial to both genders? grin
I could not agree more with everything you said. How can you call $750M just x-percent of a person's net worth and well since it's just 25 percent of a wealthy man's net worth, we should not bat an eye. Nonsense. Oh common Martinez, it's just $40M, it's not much after all, the guy is worth more than that. Rubbish. On average, in all generations, Men have been more successful than women across the age, so it's air to strip them of their hard earned wealth or stupid reasons. i wonder who made these laws. That's right, she has probably never worked for money in her life or toiled to amass great wealth otherwise she would not be saying this.

I cannot wrap my mind around this folly, as in, how can you give someone that huge amount because they divorced a wealthy man.
RomanceRe: My Opinion On Feminism by Baldwretch: 4:03pm On Nov 24, 2019
liberalchick:
This scenario that you people have created where during a divorce the law favors women, the men are stripped of their wealth and the women ride off into the sunset richer while the man is left in penury is a very huge lie. 1. It’s a percentage of earned wealth during the marriage not the man’s entire net worth. 2. The woman is never ever richer than the man after the settlement. 3. Most of the men make the settlement money back. 4. The money seems a lot because you’re looking at it through your ‘poor’ man’s lens. $750M (doubt it was that amount) to Tiger is 75 cents to you and I. A couple that earned $75k while they were married will also be subjected to the same ratio.

Again, the above scenario is for the 1% of the population.

The courts believe one way or another a union between people contributed to the earned wealth during the union and without one or the other that wealth wouldn’t be possible. It’s believed if a rational human being decide to make a union with another then he does so because he/she believes they would benefit from it.

Humans are selfish and ungrateful it’s common for people to say “What’ve you done for me?” when relationships go sour, the courts don’t live in people’s homes but they believed you when you made that rational decision to marry that person.

If you believe no woman or marriage on earth can help you earn x amount, then don’t marry. If you believe a woman should be entitled to only x, then get a prenup. Americans are not marrying or having kids because most are in debt not because of alimony. If you don’t marry but you co-habit your assets can also be split by the common law.

The law is mostly just and fair and it does what it was created for, you people always say white woman are the real feminist because they contribute financially to marriage 50-50. This law made it possible. Couples are willing to come together without fear or paranoia to pool their financial, physical and emotional resources and create a communal wealth, this is true for majority of Americans.
It seems you're simply being dishonest or at best ignorant. Talking about the US: The US divorce laws differ by state and since there's a marked difference, all of them cannot be fair, can they? The judgement is based on what the state senses is fair.

I am not saying the settlement makes her richer than the man; I am saying the ratio of the divorce settlement makes no sense. You said

> 1. It’s a percentage of earned wealth during the marriage not the man’s entire net worth.

The distribution of wealth and assets and debt is determined by many factors like the length of the marriage, the income or property brought into the marriage by each spouse and many others but it still makes no sense. Let's use Tiger Woods here. So he was married to Elin Nordegren for just 6 years. Lmao, it's only 6 yeas oo, and she gets to keep $750M and custody of her kids. Oh and by the way, women would always often get custody of the kids in divorce proceedings and this is often unfair to men. Then they have to pay humongous sum for 18 years of the kids existence which is actually garnished with alimony.

Let's do some Maths here. That means the woman earns $125Million every year just for marrying Woods. If she had worked for $60/hour (no country in the world pays half of that an hour) for 80 hours a week, she still would not earn one fifth of that amount in a year, so who is fooling who? Will the so-called judge who presided over this case fool us? I can give you not one or two or three or four or even five cases, lol, where the divorce settlement judgement just makes you say something is wrong with that man. Does she deserve that amount for a 6 year marriage that has two kids? No! O common aunty, don't be stupid na!

Why does a sane society even need prenup for goodness sake? And even if you have a prenup, there's no guarantee that you wouldn't get burnt in the end. Like, without a prenuptial agreement which is so unreliable, not only will your spouse likely be awarded half of what your income brought to the marital estate, but half of your ownership interest in the business, too (or its value). Is it a fair to grow and pump so much funds into a business that would not blossom instantly anyway, and reap the fruit in equal proportion many years later with someone who barely knows enough about it?

You also said:

4. The money seems a lot because you’re looking at it through your ‘poor’ man’s lens. $750M

Oh not again, sorry, I am looking at it from an objective point of view. If she got that settlement for a 25 years marriage, I would not complain too much but it would still be way over the top. Paying couples outrageous sum because their spouse made a name for themselves/ made it without them, either male or female is sheer nonsense.

But the op doesn't see that as empowerment instead the wicked divorce laws and child support laws in western societies are what she sees as empowerment of women.

Family court doesn’t care if it’s a man or a woman. Communal property AKA what is earned during the marriage (not the entire fortune of the man/woman) is sorted out, then the higher earning couple pays alimony and child support.

Rich women who earn more than their spouse also pay alimony to the man. Madonna, Britney Spears, Mary J Blige etc Halle Berry pays child support to her baby daddy.

You people always use rich people the 1% to criticize the law when the main motivation for such laws are the 99% of Americans who earn mostly 5&6 figures. The alternative will be the Nigerian way, where a woman will be kicked out with only the clothes on her back, women constantly living under the threat of “get out of my house!”. As more women are becoming the higher earning spouse, more women are paying alimony now.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/more-women-are-paying-alimonythat-includes-supporting-their-exs-porn-habit-2018-05-23

People will always try to find loopholes or take advantage of laws that are intended for those who really need it, it doesn’t mean the law does not serve its purpose.
I am not ignorant of the fact that women also pay alimony and child support, but I am against THE SETTLEMENT RATIO.

You don't ask me to give up more than 40 percent of what I earned in the course of the marriage in the name of equity or equality or whatever they call it. That's sheer nonsense. Take Tiger Woods for instance, the man had to cough $750 Million in the divorce proceedings. Oh madness and folly and stupidity and nonsense, what kind of a depraved judicial system is this? The money is way, way too much nah. Aunty liberal, you too reason am nah.

And then you have people having prenup which trivializes marriage. The judicial system has made marriage a joke and I would not be surprised I more and more American men do not get married in the future. The purpose of the settlement has been made a joke, too, I am not even going to go into golddiggers who get married with ulterior motives or so.

Patriarchy doesn't necessarily mean misogyny or unfair treatment of women anymore than matriarchy wouldn't necessarily mean misandry and unfair treatment of men. The cultural settings I highlighted was division of labour at it's finest. As long both men and women had responsibilities, there was no unfair treatment and whosoever enforced these responsibilities is irrelevant. It still wouldn't change the four points I gave.

Women are already empowered. They already have rights and opportunities as men. If that is not enough for you, you are on your own. So you think women need divorce laws and child support laws to be empowered? You are indirectly admitting that women need to somehow extract a man's resources to be empowered. You have got to be kidding me.[b] Your agenda to bring over the misandric injustices we see in the divorce courts of developed countries will not work. Women are already empowered and are not oppressed. Their destinies are their own hands. [/b]Let them go and hustle. So this is what you are all about. By the way, no one is maltreating widows.

Funny how you think setting up divorce laws and child support laws are empowering. I knew, and I said, that all these women empowerment talks are ridiculous garbages, romancing of nonexistent oppression of women, and such "women empowerment" invariably has ulterior motives. I am emmaodet argued this with someone. The issues of widow maltreatment and girl child inheritance are issues that are behind us except in few societies like Islamic societies.

JONNYSPUTE, emmaodet, Omar09, CAPSLOCKED, AstroG, healthserve.


You are missing the point. You claimed women are taking double responsibilities and men ought to solely provide. My argument was that men don't owe women a dime, it is not incumbent on men to provide, and women don't have double responsibilities.

Lol. Women are usually guilty of not keeping up to this. Go figure! Even feminists run to comfort and support the idea that men are to provide when sh!t hit the fan and most women, even feminists, still practice "my money is my money, your money is our money". The scenerios you are crying over are nonexistent. Given all these privileges and hypocrisy, women stand more to lose and men stand to gain more if what you wrote is to be enacted.

Who would you rather have in your life, someone that brings sex or someone that brings money? Food for thought.
Thank you Martinez.

Nothing provokes me like the bullsh.it misandrist divorce laws especially in the US and other developed nations; as in, when I think of how Emmanuel Eboue of Arsenal and MANY rich men have lost a fortune in these court proceedings ehn, and you know what makes these folly really painful, the fact that men, not women, made these laws. Who has bewitched them? If you want to settle a spouse for sticking it out with you for X, Y, years fine, it is commendable; after all, the partner might have made some big sacrifice but slashing net worth, diving assets and other such nonsense is pure bullsh.it, It's just crazy.

Lest I forget, you won't get any mail confirming the said payment even after you have effected it, the payment status section of your summary page WILL change upon receipt at their servers though.

2) I can't really say anything on that. You might need to think it through and proceed as the spirit leads you. (It's entirely your call sir/ma)

3) there is no info on that yet, for now, anyway. We will have to wait till the 26th when the seat numbers and locations for exams start rolling in to know
The payment varies with the means through which you decide to pay, POS, Online or bank Remita.
Basically #1,000 + other charges




I hope this helps.
Enjoy the rest of the day sir /ma!
Thank you for expending so much energy to be as detailed on my questions as you possibly can.

First, I do not understand the entitlement mentality that makes you think that your cousin is entitled to the family's N500k.

Even your thread asks if it is fair. Fair to whom? Who is the wronged party here? Do a couple cannot decide how to spend their N712k again?

Secondly, that couple in addition to attending your cousin's wedding hooked up with relatives, lost friends, reconnected with Nigeria, enjoyed road trips and even had a mini-honeymoon.

I think it is poverty that makes us value money above the presence and show of love.

A relative I had not seen in years came for my wedding. She thought I had forgotten her till I told her a slang from years back and she laughed heartily.

The next time I saw her, she was dead.

I value that memory above whatever money she would have given us.

Experience, memories is key for me.

Gosh, we are too transactional.
That's right but e joor oo!! 712 for just air and road trip ke? Abeg, for the love of God, stay where you dey abeg, just send me 200k and we are all good. Poverty also has a bearing and poor man gat to follow its directions. No choice. No need to do agidi.

I don't know why i like this chioma .

Maybe because she's a relative .

Btw

Who'll be my davido ?
Did someone hack your account? I insist, someone did. Anyway sha, I can help you investigate.

What do you want a man for since they bring nothing to the table? Or at least, let me be honest for once, you bring more than they do. You don't want anything to do with a leech, or better put, a parasite, who would benefit more than you would, which is majority of Nigerian guys anyway. And If it's not all men, even then, you don't want to trouble yourself with the staggering burden of weeding the bad ones since they are quite many. In Nigeria. Just live a celibate lifestyle and stop asking for your Davido and you'd do just fine; most Nigerian guys are that broke, so it's not unreasonable to assume that you wouldn't likely find your Davido on Nairaland sef.

Oya, trust me, I am a white hat hacker and can help you get this hacker's IP address and other details like GEO location - who has hacked your Nairaland handle and is posting rubbish on your behalf. My service is cheap and affordable. Do you mind?
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Applying For State Government Jobs As A Non-indigene, Is It Even Worth It? by Baldwretch(op): 10:23am On Nov 20, 2019

It is easier to get Ekiti than Imo because you are still Yoruba.

Fear is the greatest weapon of under-achievers.

All men of break through overcame fear and lack of confidence.

Them dey use money pursue money. Apply for the two please.

If you lose the money and still don't get either of them and opportunity presents itself elsewhere, still do same.

Na my philosophy of life be that
Wow, thank you boss. I'll put that in mind.
Jobs/VacanciesApplying For State Government Jobs As A Non-indigene, Is It Even Worth It? by Baldwretch(op): 9:45am On Nov 20, 2019
Ekiti state government is recruiting into its civil service and I am still thinking about NOT paying the application fees since I'd be coming from a long distance. Transport is 10k. I am no indigene of the state, bu I am Yoruba. Also, Imo state is recruiting teachers and I'm not even Igbo.

Are these applications worth it or should I just wait for a private or federal government job?

If there's a 40% chance that I would not get in because I am not an indigene of the state, then please, I would rather stay here.

What do you guys think?

That guy you quoted is right, very right......can you swear by Sango or Amadioha or Siddhartha Gautama that you have helped any man who is not your relative with a tangible help (money, favor, job, business contract, visa, etc) that transformed his life ever since you were bornhuh


Ladies should be honest for once and accept the truth.....men offer much more to women than women do.


Majority of women, especially Nigerian women offer nothing than sex to men.


I am a lady, a sexy hot lady and I must say the truth and shame the devil, I am not a hypocrte angry angry





Telling that guy you quoted that its the ladies he has met is wrong, all men cannot be wrong, all men cannot be saying the same thing and you are here saying its the ladies they have met, so who are all these men meetinghuh


We hear everyday how much Dangote, Otedola, Ned Nwoko, etc are donating and giving to their communities and people, how many times have we heard how much Alakija, Aisha Buhari, Oluremi Tinubu, etc have given to people or their communityhuh

Nigerian women are selfish, stingy and wicked to their society and men, say the truth....only few insignificant women are exception, very few undecided
I don't believe a female is behind this moniker?
