Arrewa: How people of God easily find the will and courage to do this usually overwhelms me. Islam, religion of peace. Christianity, religion of love. And yet, we experience neither peace nor love in this country
Who told you that Christians did it? Must you toe the lines of religion in this matter?

Using the word 'stash' suggests that he was trying to illegally smuggle money to you without detection.
He could have openly declared the money. There are many legal ways he could have sent you money or is his hustle not legit?
Wiseandtrue: Strange indeed but why are they laughing
Are they happy that he's sick or what
They are trying to cheer him up. No matter how sick one is, shows of love, happiness are not lost. It creates the right atmosphere for recovery. You can at least appreciate them for visiting.
What next is to look for cure. I can recommend TB Joshua at Synagogue church, Ikotun Egbe Lagos.

PatrickOkunima: Good one, but shouldn't stop there. They need to train their men on how to handle weapons. The Nigerian police should do same too. I'm not comfortable with civilians (Nigerian Custom, NSCDC, Nigerian Police, Etc.) carrying weapons, because they are not trained. In the military, they don't just hand you weapons without training.
Accidental discharge will not stop unless they ban indiscriminate firing of rifles at political outings.

The assaulted football fan was left with a deep cut near his eye after the incident. Ghanaians who were angered by the incident are now calling on the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) to sanction the boxer.
If reading made people mad by now I won't be chatting with u, u won't know I exist.
When I was in secondary school my zeal for knowledge made me settle down to read almost every single book in our school library. Except music books. And I am still here talkless of a kid who is just reading a dictionary, that's for beginners. Our time we had to read cause there was no internet.
It doesn't make you any special. More reason you should be grateful to God.
Its just like a case of armed robbery where one's first attempt got him caught while another has been at it for 14 years or where someone caught HIV at first encounter with a girl while another has lost count with no infection yet.
This issue has been bothering me for a while now......I had this friend who during our school days was so brilliant,in fact this friend of mine wrote his common entrance at primary 4....at jss1 he wrote his junior WAEC.... Back them we nickname him The "guru"....There was no time I visited him at home,that I wouldn't see him reading,this guy can read from morning till night.....though I was irritated with his attitude but I kept on admiring him because there is nothing in this world that this guy don't know....there is no words in the dictionary that is new to him... he was respected among our peers.....
suddenly,he was no longer communicating with us with plain English,any small question will always be meant with grammar...in fact this guy will go to the market to buy something and will begin to communicate with the market people with grammar...they we just be looking at him like a madman...
Then,one fateful day according to his mother,he ran out with a dictionary screaming "loquacious"all effort to calm him was in vain the guy is in the asylum right now.....
This episode as left me confuse.....expert in the house can you help me out.....
CAN A PERSON LOSE HIS SANITY DUE TO EXCESSIVE READING??

E685: My wife and I have been together for 8 years now, married for 5. I am 33 and she is 30. We now have our first child, a son who is just turning 1. He is everything to both of us. Before our son, our relationship was strong, although to be honest I’ve always been frustrated with my wife’s way of handling issues. I’m the kind of person who is very hard to get angry, I hear people out, and I talk out my issues. I listen to all sides and I think logically before emotionally. I seek therapy when I’m stuck. My wife is the opposite. She reacts with emotions first. She is very quick to be offended by anything. She will shut down and refuse to communicate until she has had time to process. I do all of the work resolving issues we have. I sometimes wonder if I ever stop taking the high road and work through our issues, if anything would ever resolve itself. So that being said, conflict management aside, we are happy. We are passionate, have similar interests, and make each other laugh.
Then there’s my mother. Where to begin. My mother, while seen as incredibly loving and generous to many people, is also a person who has been shut out of so many relationships in her life that I really just feel bad. My father and her are divorced. She has a genuine phobia of being left out - of gatherings, of relationships, of family. She is extremely smart and knows how to manipulate people into doing what she wants. She also widely seen as a “difficult” person. She is difficult in that she finds great offense to issues many people would not notice or care about. If she feels wronged, she will overwhelm the person who wronged her with incessant questions trying to make them feel her side until they cave in. In her closest relationships, her absolute need for the show of love and inclusion and validation cause the very people she is trying to reel closer in to push her away, a self fulfilling prophecy. My Mom, while I love her, is her own worst enemy.
Needless to say, these two, my wife and my mother, clash. At first they liked each other. The very first issue involved our wedding planning. My wife had a very clear plan for the guest list, and my mom asked for a number of her friends to be included on the list. My wife did not want that, got immediately upset and the situation blew out of control. My mom called me nonstop asking why my wife could be so cold, unwilling to see her side, or give in even an inch. My wife felt my Mom was making the wedding all about her, and could not believe she was called cold. She was “done”. My mom wasn’t paying for a cent of the wedding either so this was another offense. In the end I brokered a compromise, much to the dismay of both women. Each held the grudge for a long time.
Occasionally my mother would do something that my wife disliked, and my wife would be pissed at me for not standing up for her. Admittedly I had never stood up to my mother, I always took the time to listen to her side and find reason behind her otherwise inflammatory ways. My wife and mother had a falling out right before the wedding, and forced me to choose sides. I struggled as I found both of them to be at fault. I chose my wife and my mother hated it. Ever since, basically anything that my mother says or does, whether good or not, offends my wife. Even the most genuine attempts by my mother to reach out to my wife are smacked down. My wife has never made any effort to release the past resentment. Over the years my mother has attempted to take the high road, only to be barely acknowledged by my wife. I have always pleaded with my wife to at least pretend to like my mother. She did a bad job of pretending because my mother would always call me and ask why my wife appears to never care or never let go of past feelings. So both saw through each other, my mother would continue to act happy and loving, while my wife never would.
Anyway now our son came into the picture. He is amazing and being the first grandchild on both sides, the grandparents want to be around him every chance they can get. My mother visit every weekend. I told my wife we have to let her do this. My wife dreaded this. I told my mother that one of the weekends, we wanted her to visit on a Sunday (staying over till Monday morning) instead of a Saturday because we had plans that Saturday. In actuality the day was a birthday celebration for my father in law, being held at her parents house. She just didn’t want my mother involved in everything so she put her foot down. My mother wouldn’t take no for an answer and pulled it out of me what we were doing that day. Well she took great offense to the fact that she was not automatically invited, and couldn’t believe how cold, unChristian, and I loving my wife and her family were.
This stuff affects me greatly so of course I share with my wife, and she exclaims she is done with my mother. No longer wants to be nice or pretend, she is tired of how much my mother always wants it all to be her way and then throws out insulting and hurtful words about my wife to get her way. I get messages from my moms friends telling me how I need to see things my moms way, they would never exclude their mother this way, and that my wife is causing all of this.
And so here we are. I saw my mother the next day, and my wife removed herself from the situation by staying out for the day. It was incredibly uncomfortable. I told my mother how mad I was at her for always being so difficult and never just letting it go. I told her my real feelings about how I wished she could stop needing such inclusion and love. Her response was that she is justified in wanting to be included in everything, and that my wife has never shown her any love or effort and it was obvious, so what could she possibly do? I told her my wife is willing to work on this, perhaps in professional therapy. But in reality my wife wants no part of that and has no desire to mend anything anymore. I think she resents me for trying to mend things.
So what do I do? I’m frustrated with my mom for being difficult, always needing more and never letting things go, and saying inflammatory things when she doesn’t get her way. But I see that all she’s ever wanted was peace and love, and my wife never gave her that. I’m frustrated with my wife for getting so easily offended at everything my mother says or does, and I wish she could make any effort to see the other side and let go of such a grudge. My mother is definitely strong willed and manipulative but I think there is love there if only we could work through it. My wife is extremely assertive and refuses to let anyone wrong her twice. Both think the other has always been dead wrong, the entirety of the blame, and will never change. My wife is ok never seeing my mother again, yet my mother says she wants to let bygones be bygones and attempt to work through it.
What should I do? Forever stuck in the middle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
One thing I like you for is acknowledging that your mum is manipulative.
Unfortunately you married her in your wife.
Both of them have similar characters and none would allow either to have her way.
Just close your eyes and go back to sleep. Let them sort it out.
