Romance / Re: My Mum Doesn't Want Us To Get Married Because Of This Picture by Bananapill: 8:35pm On Feb 08, 2023
Zikonna:
I need serious advice. I grew up an only child, raised by a single mum. My dad abandoned us as when I was a kid and few years later he died in an accident. My mum is the most important person in my life and I love and respect her. She is also a very religious woman and raised me so.

I am settled and ready to get married and I have met the woman I am sure is the one for me. My mum has met her once and although she had her reservations she wasn't opposed to it. But yesterday while going through my fiance's whatsapp status(bacause she has her number), she came across the picture below and because of it, she is now opposed to the marriage. According to her, she can't let her only child get married to a girl that wears bum shorts in public. She says "this sort of dressing is from the devil"

I have tried to explain to her that my girl isn't like that and she only wears clothes like that once in a while. My mum is still adamant. She wants me to end our relationship and find a "responsible woman"

I am currently torn between my mum and the woman I have decided to spend the rest of my life with. I am afraid that if I disobey my mother's instructions, it would lead to serious circumstances as she is also my spiritual mother.

I do not know what to do. Look at the picture below. I really don't see anything wrong. I cropped her face to maintain anonymity.

Listen to the woman who has been in your life since day 1.

I support the CBN on this one.... They should not just withdraw their license, but also throw some of them into prison and use them as a scapegoat.

Country Bad, Country Bad, but you still dey press your fellow citizen for neck, looking for ways to extort each other.

If you check those POS agents giving this ridiculous charges, they always look unkempt, lack courtsey and look stupid.

Shut up your mouth. Aboki get access to new notes and selling 10k with 2k charges. Wetin una know? CBN give POS operators money through the banks?

Barbados20:
Goodmorning house. Family and friends are pressuring me to marry but this is the dilemma am going through.

Genotype has become a major barrier for me to get married to lady whom I love. We are tested both AS. My fiancee is from the same ethnic and christian background like me.

On the other hand, I have this female friend whom i recently ask to know about her gnotype. She told me she is AA. Like joke, i ask for confirmation and she brought all d test results frm different lab. The issue is now this female friend is not from my tribe, she from a muslim background although she does not seriously practice it.

My fiancee from my tribal background, but genotype did not match with me. And the other lady from different background, she is AA and match with me. One girl I dated then was AA but the love was not there between us.

Its really frustrating to be AS if you are a Man that want to settle down I am really confused right now. Am above 30. How do i handle this issue of Genotype, ethinc and religious issues? Pls i need advice.

Keep searching. It will produce good result soon.

How can you blame POS operators when you refuse to make banks give customers their cash? They (POS) are used for quick cash but now they are main source of cash to Nigerians . A lady got 30k from an Osusu woman (alajo) with charge of 2k and this is the cheapest charge cos some are way higher, that's if the POS operator have someone to collect from.

Good day, fellas. The most underrated food in Nigeria is Garri. As ordinary as garri is, it has saved many lives. Funny enough, it is the most underrated food in Nigeria. Many guys/ladies out there(especially the ones that forms) see garri as food meant for the poor or for broke guys.

Until the govt gets serious about making scapegoat of the sindicares and the affiliate bank, the corruption will continue.

Romance / Re: My Boyfriend Wants Me To Accommodate His Ex With Three Kids by Bananapill: 8:13pm On Jan 26, 2023
Gben5:
I have a townhouse with three bedrooms. My office occupies one of the bedrooms, but six months ago, my boyfriend of two years moved in. To protect his five-year-old son and also two elder daughters, our plans to get married have been delayed.

He came to me to tell me that his ex can no longer afford her apartment due to the drastic rent increase and is preparing to leave Accra and relocate to her parent's home. According to my boyfriend, he doesn't want to stay far away from his children and doesn't want to keep his children away from their mother.

He is proposing that they move in temporarily with us. This will mean I give up my office, or he moves in with his ex to help out financially, and both of those options will destroy our bond. What do I do?

Even men know a foolish man when they see one.
Break up with him now. You don't need a leftover of a man.

Politics / Re: Is Government A Savings Account? Oshiomhole Challenges Peter Obi by Bananapill: 1:05pm On Jan 24, 2023
SLAP44:
Yes, government is a savings account.

When you have paid all salaries, built all local roads, ensured there is security, built industries, paid pensioners, paid contractors and built other infrastructure, you have to save the rest for the future of the state.

The problem we have in Nigeria is that civil servants like Oshomhole, Buharri, Atiku, Tinubu and Kwankwaso has been in power and they have never studied the course called profitability in any organisation, they regard government as a money dispensing machine and so they keep spending till we go bankrupt, then they start borrowing since they don't know anything about businesses.

Peter Obi is a trader, a businessman and an investor, he can use this skill to save and invest excess resources for Nigeria so that we can use this excess to build more infrastructure and also to provide stability for the distant future. This savings will provide the industry that will employ our teeming youths and curb insecurity.

Nigeria needs Peter Obi more than Peter Obi needs Nigeria. Vote for Peter Oluwadare Obi ❤


Don't mind this mumu oshiom-Ole.
China built estates for the future. If not for bad style of leadership by Gadafi and the mumu Libyans, that country would have been the best in Africa. Imagine building for the future.

Family / Re: Am I Being Manipulated? Is Her Anger Justified? by Bananapill: 10:49pm On Jan 21, 2023
Slime7:
Hi guys,
I need your advice on this. It is causing issues in my 2 years relationship.
I came to Lagos in 2018 after my NYSC. Prior to that, I had plans for my older sister to come stay with me, considering how difficult things were.
Note that my married eldest brother was in Lagos before then. I understand that maybe he needs his privacy, but he didn't help in any way (he didn't have to).
 
When I got the apartment, I met my girlfriend while she was serving in Lagos. My older sister has yet to move in with me, but I have mentioned to her not once but twice that she will soon come and live with me.
 
I will also like to mention that my elder sister was living with her boyfriend before I came to Lagos. This doesn't seem right to me or to her.
 
She moved in, and we were living together peacefully. Along the way, she broke up with her boyfriend. About 6 months later, she got into another relationship. The man seems interested in marrying her. And they were making plans for settling down. Unfortunately, she got pregnant out of wedlock for the man. She had to move in with the man.
 
Now this is where the issues begin. After a few months (after her childbirth), they always have issues. They go on and off. Two times they had issues; she carried her bag and came to my place. Two times it happened, and she stayed with me for not more than two months put together. This didn't go well with my girlfriend. She complained that my sister is always in the picture, and she doesn't like that.
 
The third time, the man abused my sister, and he beat her up. I went to the man's house with my "married eldest brother." We fought with the man and threatened to arrest him. He pleaded, plus the neighbors and the landlord too. That night, we took my sister away from him. My sister chose to stay at my place until she gets an apartment for herself and her kid.

This really annoyed my girlfriend. She always says things like, "My family does not respect me." That's why my sister can move in to my house knowing that I am in a relationship.
"Why does she like to stay with me and not my brother?" "Why do I have to always be the one to bear the burden?" Note that my sister works, and she can take care of herself and her kid. She just needed a place to stay until she got her own apartment.

She feared that my sister could just move in with her bags when we get married, which I have assured her is not possible.
She claims she likes her space and all. She claims she doesn't like the "on and off" as sometimes she may want to spend a "lone" time with me. Spend weekends... and this won't be possible when my sister is around.
She claims that she has never seen a scenario where an older sister with a kid is leaving with younger brother.
She always give instances where she has never seen guys in relationships allow their older sister to come stay with them.
She claimed that sometimes I should "man up" and say NO to her. 
 
Is she overreacting? What did I do wrong in all of this? Am I being manipulated? Is her anger justified?
 
N.B My sister has gotten a place for herself and has moved out.

Run ooooo

Romance / Re: What Should I Do About This Lady I Want To Marry? by Bananapill: 4:40pm On Jan 10, 2023
Fmartin:
I am dating a lady, and we are about to get married. She's already carrying my baby.
I have taken her to my parents. I have never taken a lady to my parents before. I have seen her parents too, and have communicated my intention to marry their daughter.

The only thing holding me now is to get things in order before paying her dowry.

The main problem now is that we keep having issues, coz, she's always making calls with her exs. i have confronted her on Several occasions, we have had fights, physical fights as well.

She told me she dont have the guts to tell them to stop calling her. She can only keep playing them till they walk away.
I told her i dont have that Luxury of patience. She has to choose between me and her exs.

Now, the issue is that she's pregnant and I have already taken her to my parents, they all like her.

I would have broken up if not because of the pregnancy. Coz, I wouldn't want to leave her with the pregnancy like that. To make matters worse, She have a kid out of wedlock. Though the father of the baby and her are not in good terms.

I hhave told her to stop making calls with her ex, but she seems sturbon.
She's ready for me to Change her sim card but I want her to use her sanity and end things with her ex in a boldly manner rather than hiding under the guise of changing sim. I have registered a new sim, but It's still with me, I have not given her.

Am confused, I need you guys advices for way forward.
No think insult, coz I gaht over dose.
Peace.....

There's no big deal haven seen her parents or taken her to your parent.
Wait until she brings forth the baby and she has a steady good character,if not dish her. Don't allow her to tie you down with the baby. I always warn guys not to get a girl pregnant with different exes calling her.
Guy, you no get sense? All the bleeps you have been fucking before you met this girl no satisfy you to be condoning nonsense. In my dating years back then, ones I see stupid character, I move.
Marriage is not something you enter when there are red flags in your partner to be.
Be warned. Don't get burned.

Scenario:

You have a good marriage, you pamper and take care of your wife, family and responsibilities.

On this particular day, your wife wanted to travel for an event, you asked her not to go for this particular event, kindly note, she is very social and travels a lot, you allow her, give her the freedom she needs.

Now, she ignored you and travelled, what can you do to express your displeasure, get her to apologise and avoid a repetition of such?

Creative solutions asides sex or money should be proferred

Married men and women only*

To the women, if you were the woman in this scenario, what can your husband do to get you to apologise and make you not repeat such?

Looks are good but every young man out there should look properly before marrying a lady. I repeat look well.
The freedom the man gave her was too much and probably she has been socializing without the husband even looking. That is the reason she could flout the man's instruction
And to young wives, don't do that because something might happen when you disregard your husband's instruction just for the single reason of disobeying the head over you.
The man will have to sit the woman down and tell her the reason he didn't want her to go out and puts down the rules for her no more social outings if he's not going to the same place.

Romance / Re: Nigerian Men And Women Are Sexually Frustrated And Lonely In America And Canada by Bananapill: 3:03pm On Jan 08, 2023
Ednut03:
Yeah. There are Nigerian Men in America who has not had a decent chance at sex for years. The only chance at sex they get is when they visit Naija once in a while. You ain't even getting a white chick to talk to you or give you her number if you ain't ridiculously good looking, dress well and speak really high.

Same apply to a woman and it's even worse. Men are thirsty, unlike Women, and she might get sexed and few attentions until the sex lasts. But she's not going to get any commitment if she doesn't match the beauty standard. So, she will be lonely too. Nigerian Men are still better positioned than her. And her woes even worsen if she's above 30. They rarely get white men. No they don't, because Nigerian women also fall short of the look And beauty standard

And if you're in dating app as an average black man (you're bleeped if you're ugly), you'll, 90% of the time be swept left over.

Hence, many Nigerian guys are frustrated and won't talk about it

Don't believe the stupid lies we peddle on here about white woman loving black for our dick game. It's a lie. If you ain't 100% attractive to her, your dick game doesn't matter. You need to be tall too, because their men are really tall. You can't be 5"9 and be expecting any reasonable result scoring a white chic, it ain't happening
Na to knack carry you go abroad? Hustle, make the money, come home to marry that your loyal girl. Make sure you carry your close sibling go abroad before you marry. All the Bleep wey you Bleep for your Naija before you travel do you for 10 years.

Family / Re: Cutting Your Baby's Hair When He/she Clocks 1 Year by Bananapill: 2:56pm On Jan 08, 2023
Bayonet40:
Good evening nairalanders.
Why do Nigerians believe that you must have to cut your baby's hair (especially male babies) immediately they reach 1 year?
Is there any theory here?
People have been suggesting that I cut my boy's hair when he reaches 1 year which is some days from now, he has much hair which I plan to maintain and keep in a good shape.


The reason most times is when the hair has overgrown and some boys won't even allow combing it. If the baby's hair is the strong he inherited from his parents, you can cut.
Girls hair are mostly left to grow long and they allow their mother to make it. It's in their DNA.
Naturally, a man should not keep long hair. So, the boys long hair must be cut

Omo, uneasy lies the head that wears the crown...
I am not the rich relative, infact, I just go by everyday doing the best I can..
I am this person that doesn't know how to beg cos right from onset after sec school, been fending for myself till I got married...
Everyone knows the terrible situation in Nigeria right now so I can't but pity the rich among many poor relatives right now...

I have a junior brother who just came in from outside... He was looking fresh and fly but looking at him yesterday, I almost shed tears...
He has been the one shouldering many responsibilities and he is just 33yrs old...
He said Egbon, you self no need anything? I told him he shouldn't worry that I will manage...
I was eavesdropping one of his call last December and he was lamenting he has spent close to 13m in just 3months of coming home...
The problem we have as Nigerians is, everybody tends to have a problem or the other when their rich or abroad relatives land...
Spending for his immediate family isn't the problem but iru wa, giri wa,(diff. Sort of people) and as per naija mentality, if you don't do, they may inflict you with something or somehow diabolically stop you from traveling back.. The last time he was home was 8yrs ago, he sure me say if he travel again, na till retirement before he go come back....

So share your experience as per the aforementioned topic..



What I advice anyone who has gone abroad and the means should carry any of his siblings. I've seen a family where the elder brother carried his younger ones and today, the family na blast. Even the last boy na big boy for Naija doing his little business.

There are some who refused to carry their immediate siblings and carry other step siblings. Today, he is complaining of too much dependence on him from his immediate siblings while the step siblings do not remember the one who helped th younger ones.
Make anybody no complain especially if they are your siblings. Do something this 2023 to remove load from your head.
