Family / Re: After 37yrs In South Africa He Came Back To Drag Properties With My Father. by BigMamaNaija: 8:18am On Sep 20, 2023 |
Peter532: Luke 12: 13-15 Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?” And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” Selah~ |

Sassenach: Nobody said the first son should inherit everything and leave others empty-handed. It is only the main family house (where papa and mama lived before their demise) and the land on which it was built that unquestionably belongs to the first son. Other properties (if any) will usually be shared. Where the family house is the only inheritance, other sons usually know from the beginning that they need to save and buy/build somewhere else in the village. In this case, OP's father and brothers do not want their uncle to have ANYTHING at all for the reasons he stated. Even other tribes have contributed on the thread, telling him that it's wrong by their culture. It's not just an Igbo thing. |

olril17: Grow up boy. They have been living in the said house all the while rent free or probably rented it out! Either way, they must have gotten value for whatever they spent on renovating the house. Besides, their efforts are simply honorarium to their parents. Or, are you saying capable children should only support their parents in exchange for property Better take your eyes off any first son's right in your family. And... go get some home training on public communication. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Oya, go and collect the inheritance of a first son and give OP na. Maybe you're holding on to a first son's inheritance in your own family and you're seeking validation. Sorry, nothing for you.

OP my son, Nairalanders have told you the truth in one voice (surprisingly): the family house belongs to your uncle. Even if we told you anything different, it wouldn't change anything because we wouldn't be the ones to come handle the issue. We'd have only 'gingered' you wrongly to go on and fight dirty. The elders in your family and community will handle this. Please, encourage your dad and siblings to cooperate with them in whatever formula they use for the sharing. You have no case. The customary court in your place will stand with your uncle and strike out any case you bring forward. By the way, where is your empathy for a blood relation? How come your father does not care about what his blood brother must have passed through all these years? Even you who appears to be enlightened! Is there any normal human being that will just choose to cut off ties with his family if things were alright? Mbok be calming down. Last strength ko, first blood ni.. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Family / Re: My Wife's Sudden Change After Childbirth is driving me nuts! by BigMamaNaija: 12:03pm On Sep 06, 2023 |
thesilentman: My son, madam is going through postpartum depression. She needs lots of love and support now to prevent it from deteriorating. I know a lady suffering from mental illness now as a result of poorly managed postpartum depression. Trust me, you don't want that at all. She'll need physical assistance with chores and emotional support in form of encouraging words, gifts, etc. especially from you. Please try to be around her as much as your job can allow while you also find a way to unwind yourself. Get paid help for chores if there's no capable relation around. It's a tough time for you both (more so for her) but it usually passes quickly; tops one month if you both cooperate in the healing process. Her strength and joy will return and she will always remember those who stood by her in her time of distress. Be one of those she will remember for good. Peace! 3 Likes |
Family / Re: Is This Enough Reason To Send My Niece Back To The Village? by BigMamaNaija: 9:39am On Sep 06, 2023 |
NaijaRealtor: My son, the mistake many people make is to bring an underage child who needs training to take care of other children without first training him/her. You can still retain her if you're ready to train her for at least one year with much love. During that period, carry on with ALL major duties while she watches/learns. Take care of her needs. From the second year, gradually introduce simple duties while she assists you as you run major duties. It looks like she just landed and so much was heaped on her which overwhelmed her tender frame. Does she even go to school? If you get it right, within few years, your wife will have a wonderful assistant who can even assist you both raise her younger cousins. Train her first. Enroll her in a good school if you've not done so. Gently teach her how things are done in your house. Correct lovingly when she makes mistakes. As time goes on, you'll all be happy. Discuss this with your wife and if you both decide that you can't make this initial sacrifice, quietly take her back to her parents. Peace! |

This is a good idea my child, if your family can be disciplined to let the meat stay in the freezer in peace. The usual challenge is that you start using higher quantity of meat than you'd have used if you were buying in kilos because "there's meat". Watch out for that and be disciplined. 1 Like |

It depends.. On the financial strength of your spouse. Can s/he carry the family responsibilities while you try to find your feet again? On the nature of the job. Is it transferable?

Family / Re: Can A Woman Who Hasn't Had Sex For Months Give Birth Easily? by BigMamaNaija: 11:54am On Jul 10, 2023 |
Samantha124: Yes my daughter. Most women who were not circumcised themselves will have safe vaginal delivery of their babies without any tears. It's the women that were circumcised as babies that will need the tear you described because the structure naturally put in place to expand was cut off during circumcision. I wish you a happy marriage soon and safe delivery of your twins. Op: Regular s£x especially in the third trimester will help your wife have an easier delivery but it's not really by stretching the v@ginal walls. There's a hormone in the semen that helps ripen the cervix, prostaglandin or so. Her org@sm is also a kind of exercise that prepares her body for uterine contractions and all that. However, where it's not possible for you both to be together, she can still give birth. Others have done it. Let her be up and doing, exercising moderately. I wish her safe delivery. 2 Likes |

My son, marriage is a life-long commitment and matured minds consider who will give them peace of mind all the way. It seems this lady is the one you have made up your mind to get down with; go ahead. In seeking your own peace of mind, don't birth children who will be in pains because their sorrow will reduce your own peace. Knowing what is at stake, save MONEY for two or three PGD procedures and live happily ever after with your family. Don't listen to negative people who'll tell you it will keep failing? How na? In Canada fa? Mtchew! Both of you should never forget how you started. Keep the fire of love burning with a touch of understanding and you'll be fine. |

Her innocent looking face and boldness reminds me of Chidimma's lovely face- the one who stabbed Ataga to death. Anyways, it's better for her that she has confessed to the offence unlike some people who will continue to plead "not guilty" no matter how glaring the evidence in the charges read out to them.

Education / Re: Ejikeme Mmesoma’s Result Is Fake! Nothing To Investigate- Olabisi Deji-Folutile by BigMamaNaija: 1:21pm On Jul 07, 2023 |
There's absolutely nothing wrong with investigating the entire matter to eliminate any possibility of an innocent person being punished. If she's found to be guilty, by all means let her be punished to serve as a deterrent to others. The problem is if JAMB will allow full access to their servers for the level of thorough scrutiny this requires. The question that has been on my mind is: why do most Nigerian CBT exams not display your score immediately you submit your test? What do they usually do between the submission and release of results? JAMB needs to ensure that from next year, candidates' results are displayed immediately they submit their test. Gaskiya. 1 Like |

FunkyAlhaji2015: She will not be presenting the controversial UTME scores na. Her WASSCE or NECO-SSCE results will do and hopefully, there'll be no issues there. There'll only be a problem if the Nigerian Police accepts that she is guilty and do not clear her but why would they do that? JAMB is not infallible. This could have been a network glitch that was later worked on. Would they accept such heavy indictment on their credibility? No. Why make the girl take the fall for it? JAMB that candidates always have loads of complaints against during/after their UTME. I deal with young people a lot. As someone once said to me, "it is better to let 99 criminals go free than punish one innocent person". The way I see it, the girl should be let alone and let fate decide her case. If she forged the result, it's better she confesses now because she cannot truly go as far as she'd have gone in life; fake things don't last. I think we should just wish her well and this is nothing about her being Igbo or not. The 'verified' best candidate is also Igbo. Wahala everywhere.. |

Children of nowadays... you blink, you lose them. Even very strict parents are struggling to keep their children on a leash in the times we're in, how much more a home where there's as much condonement as I sense in OP's 'appreciation post'. That aunty appears to be the only strict one around. Our princess is a treasure but needs some refining before bad friends waste her. Please, arrange for someone God-fearing outside her home to befriend and mentor her before she gets into the university. Like, an older responsible lady in her church or her previous school. First verify the person's values and then persuade her to get closer to your niece. Some churches have teen coaches on standby for such tasks.
