RomanceRe: Why Do Many People End Up Regretting Their Choice Of Spouse??! by Beosten(m): 11:26pm On Dec 20, 2017
pocohantas:
LOL, answer question jare.

OP, for me...I think majority of ladies marital mistakes is as a result of pressure. It is this pressure to get married that makes most of them jump on the next available man. Lots of ladies don't get married to the one they truly love, because time isn't on their side.

It is not like they don't know what to look out for. The ones that take their time looking out for these things are being shamed and reminded of menopause everyday. So, why waste time? Just drag Mr Left to the Right and work it out. [In marriage], reality hits them and they realise it isn't that easy.

You don't see married men complain unnecessarily because most men are not fixers. If the wife can't have good sex, get a side chick. If she doesn't cook well, get another side chick, if she gets fat...get a slim sidechick. With men, there is always an alternative.
Unlike women that'll stay there and nag, cry, attend crusades, regret, whine all day and say men are scum grin

If most women can take a chill pill and overcome that pressure to marry in the "perfect age range" set by society, they'll have lesser sad tales. I follow my instincts, it has never failed me smiley
You stylishly made sense.

Chasing after material things, I observed, is the only problem most women have. Any woman that wants to marry a man they are compatible with should be ready to wait for long. It seems some women were cursed from the womb chasing after money in relationships. It's the first red flag I'm always on the lookout for, I'm not rich though.

I deleted another girl just this morning. I will keep deleting them even if it means I won't get married. I wooed this one two weeks ago. She is a member of my church. She wanted to know what I do for a living and I told her I'm a job seeker. When I wooed her, she said she needs time to think about it. She called me by 10am today saying she wanted to see me so that we can talk. She knows that I have a bike. On getting to where she said I should come and meet her, I didn't find her there. When I called her, she said I should come to her house to pick her up. Once we left her house, she said her parent sent her on an errand. That errands involves going to various places in town. If one is to be boarding vehicles, one would have spent much money before returning home. We moved from one place to the other for hours. Once she was through, I returned her home. Then she told me that she wanted to tell me something. I told her to say it and she said they need certain amount of money in their house and want to borrow it from me. I told her that I already told her I don't have a job. Since that time, I don't know whether to send her curses or prayer.

When next u at the scanning place, smile while u say hi, ask him, how's today's work? Then chip in one or two funny jokes, when he laughs then quickly say hmm, u have a nice smile. That's cool. Most times am bored with work and I think u will be a good chat buddy. Can I have your number? Are u on whatsapp? Then smile again.

Trust me, he will give u his number.
Then pronto, thats an opening to getting close to him and know if he feels same like you do him. With constant chats, u will get to know if hes in love with u or not. And if he's not dating anyone. And if he's not in love with u, just accept fate and take him as a friend. Don't mind anyone saying u are cheap. You ain't married yet and your bf is unbearable.

So my dear, do the needful.

You can breakup with bf sef. Just pull out already! What are u waiting for?

If I were in your shoes, I would have broken up since! I can't be in an abusive relationship. Not for anything in this world. I can't deal Abeg.

So take the bulls by the horn jare, and collect his number! smiley
Gbam! Gbamer! Gbamest! What if the relationship became abusive after visiting scan centre? If you press that op very well, her definition of 'abusive' is 'the reduction in the amount of money the unlucky fiance is giving out to her'. I can't hurt a fly, find it easy to forgive, don't know what alcohol is - even wine, never smoked, never accomodated the thought of having two girlfriends, still, my ex described the relationship as abusive. Abusive indeed.

RomanceRe: Do You Believe In Love? Nigerians React (Video) by Beosten(m): 4:27am On Dec 16, 2017
Love is just a reaction to the action of others. There are two twin sisters aged about 3 in the house where I live. I like kehinde and can say that I hate Taiwo. Taiwo is undoubtedly pretty. Kehinde looks like her fat father, and I naturally don't like fat people but I like this kehinde.

This kehinde behaves as if she's ten years old. Upon seeing me, she would hail me (the tone, facial expression, etc would surprise you). Taiwo would also want to be noticed and pick anything in sight to hit me with or throw at me. I would want to frown but I would hide it because of their mother. After a while, once Taiwo picks up something to hit me with, kehinde would charge at her and seize the object.

With time, I became so fond of that kehinde that if someone angers me, I would go home furious. But once I pull up my bike in front of the house, kehinde would come out to greet me and my fury would disappear. Once in my apartment, I would tell myself, 'but I'm supposed to be angry because of what Mr A did'. But that kehinde changes the equation.

A lady was able to sniff success in a man, gives him greenlight and you call that love. At a time when I had not a kobo, one pretty girl fell head over heels for me. Men are naturally after her, and was widely known as having no time for men. I broke her hard stance and she told me she was surprised. Two years later, I became a farm manager riding official Honda Ridgeline. I made her my everything. I left the job later and has no money again. Then she left. She said something: "when I first set my eyes on you, I saw a man that will become a star. But now you have grown too stupid for my liking."

Because of my bike and good clothes I wear, once pretty women see me, they would start throwing greenlight thinking I'm a civil servant or something. Once they get to know I'm hustling, they would dissappear. Bunch of parasites!

*********


In her closet, Jane joined the tips of her middle finger and the last finger with the index finger while the remaining two fingers remained pointed forward. She called the positioning of the fingers a mudra of power. She has drawn the sigil of Azazel, the fourth Prince of Hell after Astaroth in the Greek ancient mythology, having lighted seven black candles. Jane was heard vibrating 'RAUM' until the night fell back into silence.

"Dear, I'm in Berlin, and about to join a connecting flight to Bolivia, " Tade said over the telephone.

"Good to hear that, Darling. You knew that you would stay back this long in Nigeria and you didn't take me along. Besides, what is wrong with your voice, Tade?"

"My voice? I haven't noticed anything worthy of concern about my voice, dear."

"No problem then. We will see to it when you arrive Bolivia," Jane said.

"I will spend the night in the transit zone as the plane takes off by 6:30am tomorrow," Tade said.

Tade arrived Bolivia, and was picked up at the airport by a driver in a Limo sent by her wife.

"I've found you well," Tade greeted Jane.

"You are welcome, dear!" Jane said as she held Tade close to herself. "I've said it that something is wrong with your voice. I had this eerie feeling about your visit to Nigeria even before you left Bolivia. Here you are with an unfamiliar voice."

"You may be right about the change in voice as I began noticing from the expression on our driver's face."

"We should see a surgeon as soon as possible," Jane advised.

"Hello, doctor! This is Jane. Now that the first surgery is not successful, what's next? I can't live with Tade sounding this way. He sounds like a demented puppeteer--that's unlike him and very strange."

"I'm afraid Tade has permanent vocal cord damage," the doctor began. "Tests ran didn't bring meaningful insights into the problem - that's why we were tricked into getting him under the knife in the first place. I will advice you stop running from one hospital to the other and accept this as fate."

"Thank you for your time," Jane said as she hung up. "Far it be from me to continue living with a disgusting lover. What if fate is an illusion? Rene Descartes would agree with me on this. Like Anselm, I believe in the existence of a Supreme Being, and He is the changer of destinies."

"Hello, Layode!", Tade began, over phone. "My last request from the gods has been granted, but there is a problem here."

"Unveil the the masquerade - let me know what the matter is."

"I have been diagnosed with rare vocal cord damage. And this may not be unconnected with the ritual I did, considering the timeline of events in my life. Make enquiries from the gods on my behalf in a bid to know the mysterious drummer in the continental shelf, who is drumming for a dancing, floating masquerade. As a Leverhulme Fellow in the Royal Academy of England, I have been given an indefinite leave to find solution to my speech ordeal."

"I hope it's not caused by the last neck surgery you had. I heard that such damage can be caused by trauma after surgery."

"That can't be the cause. The neck surgery I had wasn't deep."

"I will get back to you," Layode said.

Layode travelled to his home town to meet his father, Awise, and consulted the Oracle.

"The woman we're dealing with here is an initiate," Awise began. "No sorcerer can grab spiked leaves of cactus plant spontaneously without injuring himself. I mean Jane can't be directly forced to carry out the will of the gods because she is versed in black magic. She has mastered the use of pentagram and ancient meditations. The gods know that Tade's selling point and what attracted Jane is his voice. That's why Tade's vocal cord was attacked. Win a woman's heart with your dancing skilll, and watch her elope later with a man with unrivaled mastery of the same skill. Tade has a long journey ahead of him, and will meet the woman that has the antidote someday. And this will be a sign: in a bunker, under a hanging crescent moon."

That is interesting.

Ejio compound was founded by Oramfe. It has four lines and they were Oramfe’s sons. Probably they pay homage to Oramfe at the Ejio house over there.

Also, Obalufon, Orisaoko/Orisateko are both on Orisala [Obatala’s camp]. I wonder if Ogboru took the descendants of these people with him.

Always interesting to learn new things sha.
Orisala's priest is also the one in charge of Orisaoko here. I saw one deity's barricaded house in Obajio's compound but I don't know its name.

My mother's father was the Jagun-Osin chief - I don't know what that means till today. During Orisala's festival, rain usually disperse people towards the end of the festival when those songs are sung. You hear such lines as 'heavy rain destroyed elebure's house, and he became homeless.' Oloodua would do certain initiation for the king at crowning and must not meet the king again till death.

Ife Odan, Ifewara, Ufe Oke [Idanre], Ife Ijumu, Oke Igbo & a few others were founded by Oonis who migrated and took things peculiar to Ife with them in order to start a new town with Ife ‘feel’ to it.

Ife Odan was founded/settled in by Ooni Ogboru [Sijuade’s ancestor].

Obajio is the third to the Ooni, that family welcomed and ushered Osin-Ora [aka Oduduwa] into Ife. They are descendants of Oramfe, another prominent deity peculiar to Ife but worshipped in Idanre. Do you have Oramfe worship over there?
Yes, Olaogbooru founded Ife-odan.

Oramfe is not here. The popular ones are Orisala, Obalufon, Orisaoko, Sango, etc.

The problem with Nigerians [Benin people in this context] is that reading & research is a far removed habit/culture from your lifestyles.

Your lost Binu prince story was a renaissance-esque thought that began in the 80s. A plant that sprouted from the question raised by Prince Edun Akenzua. He said ‘Bini kingdom is surrounded by several kingdoms. Why did Bini have to send to Ife for help to resolve their political imbroglio’ — this birthed the revisionism in Bini history which your Oba brought to full glare with his ‘Obedient servant’ book. Bini history prior to this had no traces of a lost prince, not even in the first indigenously written Bini by Egarevba.

The lost prince theory is hinged on noun rendition - Oduduwa to Izoduwa, two words meaning differnt things with different etymologies.
Oduduwa was an Ife resident, he resided in Ora Hills in More Quarter of Ife. His ancestral settlement has been combed and artefacts were found there but it has not been excavated for it is a sacred and secluded place.

After Oduduwa unified the entire sub-settlements into one, all occupants moved towards the palace [where Ife palace is presently]. Oduduwa moved his people to Idio [it was the previous palace but right beside the present palace]. His family and his settlers from his previous settlements all live there, worship him there and his shrine is there.

Oduduwa had an actual Yoruba name. His name was Osin-Ora. This name is usually guarded heavily, only those belonging to his family cult [non blood relatives could not join until few decades ago], the same way it is only in Ife we have Oduduwa cult and he is the only deity apart from the Supreme God who does not have an effigy. This secrecy dedicated to the man is why not much of his information is out there. The are other families in Ife holding information on Osin-Ora but Ejio family compound for example was the family that went out to meet Oduduwa and his family on the way to welcome him from up the hills - they hid this in the story of Sky Descent theory to prevent people from going to the hill for it is visited only when a new Ooni is to be coronated. He stays there for a while, walks the path Oduduwa took, stops at certain family compounds as he did and heads to his Idio compound.

Oduduwa was a nickname given to him for starting a new era in Ife history. It is different from and has nothing to do with your Izoduwa lost prince. Your theory is synonymous to saying the Ugbo or Igbos Moremi betrayed and triggered their evacuation from Ife are the present Ugbo-Ukwu or Igbo in presentday Nigeria.

Please look for your lost prince in the Atlantic Ocean.

Ife history is well documented in family cults/rituals, orikis & festivals. The latter which, in Ife, is never a funfair stuff but a re-enactment of actual events.
This your moniker is a respected deity in Ife-odan where I'm from. Your mentioned Ejio. We have Obajio compound here, also called Ejio.

I would have laughed off your comment but I had a similar experience some months back. I wrote an exam and I had a dream around 6am too, in that dream I saw my score. I woke up immediately to check my result and it was exactly what I had seen. Do I call this a vision or seeing the future? Absolutely not! You didn't have a vision, It's called precognitive dreaming.You dreamt because you were anxious and had intuitions, it has nothing to do with ghosts or something out of the ordinary.
You're a non-starter. One lecturer that is best suited distributing instructional materials in one of the almajiri-infested madrasas postulated a theory, and you think what you know is valid. One of the greatest questions in philosophy is 'How did you know that what you said you know is true?' It's in the same philosophy you brandish that empiricists and rationalists have not been able to agree with one another. Read Descartes, Anselm and the likes. Peace!

You people will never learn. It was revealed to me this morning that NPower info about successful applicants will be out today. I particularly came online this night to confirm and it is so.

Some months back, I chose to be lonely, disconnected myself from family and friends. My younger sister couldn't reach me on phone again, and she didn't know where I live. Actually it was a financial problem that made me do this. Once I can't throw money around again, I would withdraw from the public glare. She travelled all the way from her location and located my house. I had a vision by 6am that she would come to my house that morning. I laughed at the vision saying it's not possible. When I stepped out of bed by 7am that Sunday morning, my sister appeared from nowhere. Right there, she started calling family members that she has found me. Is that schizophrenia?
