In those days, traffic was mostly restricted to the island

Actually, that's Onipanu bus stop on the mainland.

Like play like play, this thread is trending... Chucky, this is so not good for your reputation, regardless you believe you did no wrong. I only hope you can quickly grasp the extent of damage already done, all the bad publicity generated, over how much again?? For your own good, please end this, not worth it at all.

Thanks for the posts. I appreciate the contributions. Right now, I'm considering going to Dubai to bring in gold jewelery for resale. I hear this is very lucrative. Any idea this is a good idea? Anyone with experience in dealing in gold jewelery, please share your experience. Thanks

Thanks all for the advise so far.

@Bunmininja, I really don't want to entrust the money in the care of someone else to use and pay me interest, as the risk is way too high for me. Thanks anyway.

@ JamesPal, thanks for your post, but then again, I'd rather not do this type of business you're proposing. Wish you all the best in your effort.

@ Leyon234, thanks for the advise. I understand your points perfectly. By the way, I'm a woman.

@ all, more ideas needed. Cheers!

I don't want to put it in a fixed deposit account as the interest rate is just too low. Some actually as low as 1%. Neither do I want to put it in the current business I'm doing. I need to increase this money ASAP. Any ideas please?

P.S. I'm not interested in forex, network marketing, and other similar businesses.

Thanks

I was at Airtel office in Ilupeju ystday to complain about my money that they've been stealing. It's outrageous. I've had cause to put through similar complaint in the last few months, but all I get is that the complaint has been logged and they will look into it. But of course, nothing is ever done. How I wish the NCC would take their job more serious, and kick those thieving Indians back to where they came from!

@ Axeman, please check your inbox for a mail, re: your job search

Fhemmmy:
I wld expect a thread like this to have so much pix.

Nice idea Fhemmy. And while we're at that, would you mind giving us gist about your neighborhood. We'd also expect you to follow up with pixs, as you have smartly suggested.

@ All, this place's definitely too quiet for comfort these days!

Here's something that cracked me up on some other thread. Enjoy your day. And holla everyone!

@ axeman, LOL

, present sir!

Congratulations masky. Eku ewu omo o. Olohun a wo o. Happy for u man. Cheers!

In the early 90s, serving in Lagos was the "in thing". So getting posted to Lagos was near impossible. A first year guy came to us and said "give me your names if you want to serve in Lagos". Everybody laughed. But some of us including myself decided to give him a try.

When the list came out - surprise, surprise - we were all posted to Lagos. Camp was at Iyana Ipaje. Everything was fine except the soldiers waking everybody up at 5 am with all sorts of noise making instruments.

The above bolded was very true. However yours truly got posted to Lagos without the usual back-door influencing of postings which characterised that era. Served with Lagos City Computer Computer, Ikeja, Lagos. As a result of overcrowding at the Ipaja, Lagos camp ground, was posted to Kubwa Camp in Abuja for my orientation. T'was a memorable experience for me, but hated some of the early morning rigorous exercise and sharing of bathrooms with scores of other girls. Couldn't just wait for it all to be over.

I see two sides to this matter. On the one hand, it could be that as Tee kay above wrote, he could be hurt by something the mother did to him in the past. Perhaps she neglected him or maltreated him or something. He's obviously finding it difficult to forgive her over this and has thus carried on in bitterness. I guess he's trying to punish her by effectively shutting her out of his life. If this' the case, there's hardly anything you can do to undo the past. Just steer your hubby along the path of forgiveness and acceptance of the things he cannot change. Bitterness and unforgiveness are two emotions that can destroy people  both physically and emotionally.

On the other hand, it could be that he's an overly sensitive young man, and perhaps the mother did not take care to manage his sensitivity such that he withdrew from her and other people. I say this, cos from your post, you said his other siblings seem to be ok with their mum, and in fact, he's not even close to any one of them. Hmmnnn. I would advise caution in this relationship until you're able to prove that all this is just a case of mother-child neglect. Otherwise, he could very well be a difficult person to get along with.

My take on this is that you should probe deeper and not take anything at face value. Find out from him what happened to bring this negative emotion in him. You could start by asking him questions. If you feel you're not making a headway here, you could try and find out things from his siblings. But please, discretion is the watchword here; remember, you're still trying to protect both your husband-to-be, as well as your marriage. If you find out that what he alleges is true, then you have to be wise in the way you handle the whole thing.

Draw closer to your hubby and try all you can to gain his confidence. Slowly, but surely, he'll trust you enough to gradually begin to confide in you, and consequently begin to release his bitterness towards his mother. Remember, confession always brings a release.

Never for one day believe that the current situation is 'good riddance to bad future problem, ' This kind of problem has a way of playing itself out such that you find yourself with the short end of the stick in future, which could ruin your union. I mean, a man who finds it difficult to forgive his mother, one who is supposed to be the closest woman to him, (apart from his wife), would have no qualms in future about dishing the same treatment to his 'better half' The way he's treating the people in his life now, especially his family, may likely multiply many folds in future, and that includes the way he'll treat you as his wife, and even possibly his children.

Also, check out the way and manner he treats you in your relationship. Is he the type of guy who keeps malice for long when you have a misunderstanding; does he carry resentment for long; Is he in any way abusive towards you? does he show any tendencies towards being cruel? etc. All these will give you an inkling into his true character, and then you can determine whether he'll make a good husband/father or not.

Nice day my people.

@Magirose, I no know sey no be only me no dey kill myself over football. If dey play win, good. If not, make dem do return for country. Wetin concern agbero wif ofaload ke.

No stressing at all!

I got this mail from a pal yesterday, and thought to share it with the house as a stress reliever.

Enjoy!

Abeg reduce  stress and enjoy your day at work with this.


                                          LAUGH OFF THE STRESS

[size=8pt]A Chinese couple living at Victoria Island, Lagos gave birth to a BLACK baby.

The man asked his wife: WHY?

She answered:

No NEPA, Nigeria weather hot, You hot, Me hot, sex hot, then BABY BURN!!!.

Mistakingly using wheat flour to make 'amala' lol. Had to throw the whole thing away

Forgetting to blend onions with the beans; the moi-moi turned out rubbish!

Blending ginger root into eggs. I ended up with fried eggs that refused to bind. Similar thing happened with my draw soup, this time, using meat stock generously blended with ginger root and garlic

Putting camphor inside the cupboard in order to get rid of roaches, but ending up with camphor smell and taste in my packet food such as indomie and even yam flour

Adding salt to over-ripe plantain, which after soaking up oil, just would not go down well with my kids. Had to brow-beat them into eating it!

Boiling the native pear; after 1hr and the pear was still as hard as a rock,  I brought it down in frustration. However, was later counseled that the trick is in pouring hot water over it, and within secs, it's ready to be eaten.

Nice cool day here. Love the rain!

Sequy, you're welcome to WTMH! Hope you'll have great fun.

Mask, nice to hear again from you. Abeg no mind the bad-belle people wey no dey allow you browse in the office. E go better.

Kingboy, I love that Bible chapter!

Axeman, hope you're doing fine in Manchester. I know you're longing to return ASAP. Not to worry. That day will soon be here. And please don't return empty, at least, your people here must get a share of the booty. Me, I love Swiss chocolates.

Ice, wetin dey shele for your side. My sister, I understand, na work dey keep you away. Softly dey do am o. All work and no play,

Ijoseda, how far with the new house.

@ All, the thing on my mind is really not that serious o. I just dey wind you guys. Nice thing sha sey I don succeed to wet una appetite well. Una like tory sha!

Anyway, make I nack am. How do you deal with unwanted visitors? I mean the kain visitors wey 90% of Naija homes no get any option than to live with? Whether you like am or not, they must stay for your house?

Thirded

@ Lawyer. Anyway, no stress at all. I believe you're as nice as people have been saying on here, and no one is honestly trying to bad-mouth you. Perhaps, it all boils down to the frustration we feel cos peeps can no longer enjoy the goodies you were dishing as before. Nevertheless, it's still your decision, and who am I not to respect it. I'm sure when you're good and ready, you'll come out of your shell. Meanwhile, abeg, don't let it be too long, cos yours truly really misses those tips and guidelines! Cheers!

@ All, happy Sunday. Was out virtually all day today, from Church to family meeting. The way to my Church in Otta through Sango is a nightmare! These days, I appreciate Fashola more than ever before for what he's doing in Lagos. I mean, as soon as you hit the toll gate, the roads become horrible. The bridge at Sango has been abandoned now for many years. To drive from the toll gate to Sango could take anything from 20 mins upwards, a journey which should ordinarily not take more than 5 minutes. Indiscipline is the bane of motorists there; in fact you get the feeling that you're in a different environment already, even though, it's the same stretch of road from Lagos.

Trying to bypass this logjam will further land you in greater mess as the inner-town roads are anything but better. Those roads have turned to gutters for real Pot-holes? Nah! Too decent! I mean here, you're talking of holes as large craters! The markets are so dirty, and just as we used to witness in Lagos, market people still display their wares along the roads, making a terrible situation even worse! And no one seems to care

What happened to my post? I did post a rejoinder to lawyer's explanatilon this morning

Seth Cohen:
good day house:

Just want to inquire about Lawyer's whereabouts. He seems awfully quiet these days on Nairaland properties and we dont seem to see the articles or advices he normally dishes out on a daily basis. Is he okay or is he angry with anybody here or just ignoring us? Normally he would be here giving us one tip or the other on how to prevent land frauds but its as if he just disappeared and alot of charlatants have taken over in the property forum. I log into the property forum to read his blogs and his advices but they seem scarce these days and i will like to know why. He is truely one of the nicest and most trustworthy Nigerians online today and it will be a shame if he ran away because of one odd reason or the other

please assist if you have any link or reason why he is AWOL from us!

Honestly, I'm beginning to think it's becoming a little risky talking of the Mod's silence in the face of the chaos we're currently experiencing in Properties. A similar complaint was raised in Ihebrookes thread on Architectural Masterpiece, and immediately, the topic was un-stickied. Methinks that was no co-incidence!

Anyway, if lawyer chooses to continue ignoring Properties section, and practically allowing it to be taken over by charlattans, even though I'm quite sure it's not true to his character, then it's his choice to make. He's an adult afterall.

@ All, yes, I get something to talk, but make I keep am now, cos it's late and I gat to prepare dinner for my family.

Will spill it out shortly. See ya all soon!

@ X-2-X. lol

You know, I was thinking along the same line. Suddenly, thread is unstickied, cos one dared to 'unruffle' the moderator's feathers! Sort of a warning: if you say anything against the Mod, you get penalised!

Abeg lawyer, no one's attacking you for the fun of it. We're just asking you to be up and doing with your job. You've been mourning about being maltreated by some people; fair enough some of those people treated you badly. But, I feel it's time to get over that phase, and let bygones be bygones. You can't change people, nor determine how they respond to you, but you sure can choose how YOU respond to unfavorable circumstances, by learning what you need to and moving on! But above all, don't let stuff affect you so bad that you stop being good. For me, I think you may have to learn to stop taking yourself too serious, being less egoistic, accept that you won't always be loved even though you may be doing good stuff. Man, it's all part of life. Let it go!

P.S. I'm really one of the people who believes you're the bomb here on Nairaland Properties. Don't throw away the goodwill you enjoy here, just because of a hurt that refuses to go away. You'll be surprised the number of people rooting for you, even though there will always be the bad belle people too. Take care

A friend actually sent me this comic strip today on the same subject

Pathetic. That man ought to be locked up for good, no longer free to roam and prey on our precious little ones.

pawa4ul:
I thought we have a moderator in this NL. For Christ sake, people like aasog and others should create their own trends and not use the trend to paste their addresses to distract NLders in the one created by people like Ihebrooke.
Moderator pls stop this. They should make their own original posts. Ihebrookes/Philips I must commend you for this face-lifting experience you are giving us in NL. I am proud of you.

Well, I guess the moderator's on a long holiday! He's virtually deserted his duty post IMO.

N200k to move house from P/H to Lagos! That means say dem don hit jackpot now. Abeg ma brother, don't mind them o. Make sure you ask round very well. I'm sure you'll be able to get someone who'll be less greedy and demand for something far more reasonable.

@ All. I have an issue on my mind for some time now. Don't know what to do about the problem, and it's really bothersome. I'll be back!
