Career › Re: I Helped My Fiancé Get A Job In My Company… Now He Wants Me To Resign by bixton(m): 11:53am On Jun 02 |
escortafrik: I’m a lady in my mid-30s and life was going very well for me except for one thing everybody except me seemed obsessed with - marriage.
I have a good career, I’m financially stable, respected in my field, and I genuinely loved the life I built for myself. But every family gathering, every wedding, every phone call from relatives somehow turned into:
“So when are you getting married?” You’re not getting younger oo
Eventually, I met someone through mutual friends.
He was unemployed at the time, but that did not bother me much because he was intelligent, kind, calm, and surprisingly very knowledgeable in the same profession as me.
We connected deeply and for the first time in a long while, I felt like I had found the ‘one’
As our relationship became serious, I started helping him professionally too. I helped him restructure his CV, prepared him for interviews, connected him to opportunities, and eventually introduced him to my organisation when there was an opening.
Thankfully, he got the job.
I was genuinely happy for him because I knew how difficult things had been for him financially before then. And after he got the job, things became even sweeter between us.
And some month after he proposed to me ! my joy became complete! My family was overjoyed.
Then, just as our wedding plans were moving forward smoothly, the company we worked introduced a new policy stating that married couples could no longer work in the organisation together. Once two employees got married, one person would have to resign.
That was when the real problem started.
I assumed we would sit down and discuss it logically.
I have spent years building my career there. I’m more senior. I currently earn more. And if we’re being realistic, my position is more stable at the moment.
But my fiancé shocked me.
He told me I should be the one to resign because:
“I’m the man.”
Initially I didn’t take him seriously but as the wedding date drew closer, he kept pressuring me to resign !
I then reminded him that I was already established before he came into the company. I was the one who helped him get the opportunity in the first place. If anyone should logically stay, shouldn’t it be the person whose career was already firmly built there?
But he said it would be embarrassing for him as a man if he was the one leaving while his wife continued working there, that I could do something else like supermarket business.
Imagine !
Since then, everything has changed.
Wedding plans have paused. We now fight everyday Even his family are supporting him, telling me to resign ! my heart is broken.
Not just because of the job itself, but because I genuinely believed I was building a life with someone who saw me as an equal partner.
Well I have concluded that I won’t resign and I will also make sure he is sacked. No one should call me wicked because he is very wicked for wanting to do this to me.
https://community.escortafrik.com/d/198-i-helped-my-fiance-get-a-job-in-my-company-now-he-wants-me-to-resign This I'll advised you and you do it promptly without any delays and emotional attachments. Put an end to that relationship and cut him off your life. Do not bother about family talks and all that about marriage. You'll get a better partner soon. Just rely on God and let that so called man you helped who claims to be a man and wanting you to quit your job, cut him off completely. Thanks. |

Lifestone: We Nigerians are quick to appreciate good projects but yet kills such initiative in our country! 1. Buhari in 1984 shut down the Metroline that the government of Lateef Jakande proposed for Lagos. 2. Some Nigerians are today criticizing the Coaster Road and the Lagos, Sokoto Road. We need to support transformative project irrespective if whether we like the government in power or not. It's our resources, it out life time It's not enough to build when there's no maintenance culture attached to it. In Nigeria, leaders build with the mindset that it's done in their name and that it should be attributed to them for doing exactly what they were voted for or they got themselves rigged into. In China, you'll hear more of the area where it's being built and less of the person or institution who built it. So you see the difference. |

This is total gibberish.
Every Wike fan boy believes tht Fubara broke agreement.
What if Wike wanted more than the agreement?
And by the way, what kind of agreement allows one man to pick all 32 house of assembly, all 26 LGA chairmen, all but one commissioner, Secretary of government, even chief security officer?
Also whoever ran to Tinubu doesn't matter.
What matters is that Tinubu was Wike's enabler 100 percent.
When Tinubu declared SOE Martin Amaehule and his people were the first to express joy and thanked Tinubu for declaring the SOE.
That was what killed Fubara. That SOE alone saved SIM and Rivers State. Many of you people are only social media commentators. If Rivers State was burning and catching fire, you'll be no where to talk about it anymore. |

Just give a free and fair election, allow one man to one vote,, No Wike candidate can defeat Fubara in Rivers State. Why do you really want a free and fair election now when the one that brought SIM into office was not free and fair. You don't expect it to be good for you when you cheated others to get there and you now want it free and fair. Free and fair was never given to those who contested with him even from the time the form for aspirants was gotten. Without Wike in the first instance SIM would not be even having the guts to step into Rivers State governorship primaries and politics. He alone can't stand any of the other candidates, even the one whom, the federal house member Wike arrested put in prison on trumped up charges, SIM is no match for him. |

If he loses by any chance, leave Nigeria before hand over and go enjoy your life quietly in one country until the coast clears, but if Fubara and all the APC losers have enough wisdom, they all should silently work against Tinubu in 2027 and make sure Tinubu does not win reelection so that they can fight back.
They should not allow Tinubu's spiritual spell plus fake promise of political appointment to deceive them, they need to fight back secretly and have the last laugh Who knows that brother of his in Rivers State politics or even in their own village to start with..... Fubara won by the help of Wike machinery, whose machinery will he use because even SIM has no machinery to even start with ... A people without play and strategy. They want spend money wey dem no get. |
Politics › Re: Blessing Fubara Picks NDC Nomination Form by bixton(m): 8:08am On May 21 |
franchasofficia: Fubara almost defeated Wike before Wike ran to Tinubu who then used illegal emergency rule to remove Fubara from office, that was when Fubara lost the battle.
Fubara lost to Tinubu the ruthless President, not Wike.
Wike holds Tinubu's dirtiest boxers, with that, Tinubu can never work against Wike, so Tinubu obeys Wike more than any other person in Nigeria.
Fubara and his political allies and supporters in Rivers can only fight back by fully throwing their weight behind this NDC candidate in 2027 and by making sure Tinubu and APC loses in Rivers state. Without that, Fubara maybe heading to jail even though they will secretly promise him federal appointment after his tenure but if he mumuishly listen to that fake promise and help Tinubu and APC win Rivers, Wike will never allow Tinubu give Fubara any federal appointment, so he needs to wake up now Elementary naiveness and analysis you've got there. A sure proof you don't understand what manner of politics is at play. Why would Wike run to PBAT!!! Did Wike not come out publicly and openly saying it was SIM who went to meet PBAT....did you hear SIM say otherwise!!!  Was PBAT there when Wike picked SIM to become State Governor or was PBAT there when both Wike and SIM entered into an agreement.... So why do you want PBAT to come shred that agreement when he was never a witness to it!!!!!!! How can purported elders of a State go to meet the President and were given a list of things to be done and they all signed and we never heard that they were threatened or .... Only to return back to Rivers State and g against the very thing they had signed. It's just a proof that one can't rely on certain people who are considered elders and spokespeople for the rest of others. |

Even if Kwankwaso decamps to APC even though that's rarely not possible given that what he is asking for the his moment in politics will not be given to him by PBAT. Nevertheless, if he finally joins the APC, PBAT will not handover to him. |
Politics › Re: I’ll Secure NDC VP Position, Then After Kano Will Produce President - Kwankwaso by bixton(m): 3:15pm On May 19 |
franchasofficia: This is written.
Kwankwaso will end up becoming President of Nigeria, go and write it down.
Kwankwaso have done what Atiku Abubakar failed to do in all his political journey; sacrifice, being strategic and pragmatic too.
Atiku would have become President of Nigeria since 2019 if he had calmed down and supported Goodluck Jonathan that begged him and he refused to listen but rather led PDP Northern Governors and Senators and Reps to decamp to APC to help Buhari become President and later Tinubu.
2023 was the turn of South in PDP and even in Nigeria, Atiku refused to use his common sense and throw his full weight behind Peter Obi and even if Obi failed and at least it will be on record for Atiku which he would have exploited in this 2027 race. Atiku you have been shooting yourself on the leg due to pride and ego plus you surrounded yourself with political sycophants who refused to let you see the truth.
Kwankwaso analyzed the 2023 Presidential election with some Buhari key men who confessed to him that Peter Obi won 2023 Presidential election, Kwankwaso saw that Obi have the Nigerian youth support who happens to be the majority of Nigerian voting population. Kwankwaso saw that he have Kano on lock down, have some Northwest states support but lack Southern support which Obi have.
He had to swallow his pride and ego and align with Peter Obi to secure his political future in 2031.
With Kwankwaso deputizing Peter Obi, he has automatically inherited Peter Obi's youth and southern supporters come 2031.
And in 2031, Atiku is out of the equation, El Rufai have been dented by Tinubu throwing him in jail for corruption, Nuhu Ribadu seem to be falling out of place with Tinubu as Tinubu no longer trust him like before reason Tinubu appointed a Yoruba man his Special Adviser on Homeland Security which is a duplicate of Nuhu Ribadu's NSA job, something Nigeria have never had before, so Ribadu contesting 2031 Presidential election is most unlikely with the state of things as at today, anything can still happen tomorrow, but.
By 2031, Kwankwaso will be the most popular Northern politician with national support, so whether he and Obi win or not, Kwankwaso is surely winning 2031 Presidential election. You are writing politics theoretically stories and have no idea what PBAT is up to. The only way Kwankwaso may likely become President is that PO wins and they are coordinated within Aso Rock....... Hope you know who Kwankwaso is and who PO is....... Nevertheless ,if PBAT retains that office, then it's all APC again when it gets to the turn of the North. PBAT understands so much more than people even realize. |

Romance › Re: True Story: Claimed She Was Virgin, Rushed Engagement by bixton(m): 4:50pm On May 15 |
SQLmastar: Please house, I need mature advice. This matter is tearing me apart.
I met this lady (a doctor) 4 months ago. I'm 35, she is 31. She told me she was a virgin and I believed her because of how she carried herself. I was very happy and rushed everything – introduction, engagement, and marriage plans (I promised my mum that I would get married before December 2026). We were supposed to do our traditional marriage in one week’s time.
Last week, I received an anonymous WhatsApp message. The person sent pregnancy test results showing that my fiancée was pregnant for her ex-boyfriend during her 1-year residency. She had told me about this ex, but said they never had sex, and that was why they broke up. I confronted her with the message. At first, she denied it and said it was fake, someone trying to spoil her name. But when I said I would call her best friend to confirm, she broke down and confessed the truth. She admitted she got pregnant for the ex, aborted it immediately, and promised herself never to have premarital sex again. She said she was ashamed and didn’t want to lose me, so she lied about being a virgin. Now I’m confused and heartbroken. I love her but the lies are too much. On the other hand, I have already invited many people – including the chief of my village and my manager at work. Cancelling now will bring serious shame and talk in my village and workplace.
Please Nairalanders, what should I do? Should I go ahead with the marriage or cancel everything? Has anyone been in this kind of situation?
I need honest advice. So you rushed into marriage with her on the basis that you want to marry a virgin!!! I do not see any many lies other than you wanted to hear what you wanted to hear. Well, you'll have to decide, because at the end of the day, it's just you and her as a family or as breakaways and living your private and personal lives.. |

escortafrik: Hello guys, I really need your advice because I’ve been turning this over in my head and I don’t want to make a mistake.
So a bit of background… I’m in my final year at the university, just trying to finish with good grades and figure out what’s next for my life.
A close friend of mine introduced me to her cousin a few months ago. He’s doing really well for himself, stable, calm, and very intentional in how he carries himself.
We got along pretty quickly and things moved from just talking to a serious relationship faster than I expected, but it has been good so far.
Now the situation is this… he wants me to move in with him.
At first, I thought maybe it’s just excitement and love growing fast, but he’s been consistent about it and says it’s because he sees a future with me and wants us to start building our life together properly. I do like him a whole lot , and part of me likes the idea of us being together in that way, like a real couple sharing everyday life.
But I spoke to my friends and they are not having it at all. They keep telling me that once I move in, it might reduce the chances of marriage happening, that men can get too comfortable and stop seeing the need to “formalise” things. Even his cousin who introduced us is saying I shouldn’t as well but I’m quite surprised because this guy has been so good to me in every aspect of my life.
Now I’m stuck in the middle. I don’t want to act based on fear, but I also don’t want to ignore advice that could save me from future regret.
So I’m asking honestly… what do you think I should do in this situation? Concentrate on finishing your studies and return back to your humble beginnings. Put your hands to usefulness so you can earn a worthy living, while looking forward to go onto NYSC. If he truly has the intention of getting married to you, there's no need for you to move in with him, yet. Let him go and do all the necessary things and get the marriage done, then you can move in with him and he can have you as a wife. Most importantly, pray to God through Christ Jesus. He is the author and finisher of our faith in the way of life and living. |
Crime › Re: From Contract Offer To Suspected Ritual Setup/kidnapping: My Experience In Ogun by bixton(m): 8:44pm On May 13 |
Onewazobia: Hmmmm, I am not surprised by this because I once had a similar experience in Atan, Ogun State.
One of our staff members was contacted regarding a contract opportunity an international University. However, based on the project requirements presented to him, he knew he would not qualify for the bidding process, so he innocently informed them that he had a boss who could handle the job.
They initially claimed to operate an international company that had just entered Nigeria and already established satellite campuses across the country. According to them, they wanted to begin construction work on their permanent site around Atan, Ogun State.
They requested our CAC certificate, TIN number, directors’ details, IDs, evidence of previous jobs, and information about our manpower capability. The staff member who referred me later asked if he could forward my number to them since the date for interfacing with the school management was approaching. I agreed, not knowing I was walking into a serious mess.
The whole conversation started on 13th December 2025. They contacted us almost every day, requesting one document or information after another. They obtained several company details, including ID cards, claiming they needed to conduct background checks before inviting any contractor.
Unfortunately, I innocently sent everything they requested. However, I was not sending the documents directly to them because there was a third party involved, and I did not want it to appear as though I was bypassing him. Sadly, I failed to properly verify the authenticity of their claims. Hmmm… it is a long story.
Throughout this period, I never personally spoke with them until 2nd February 2026, when they informed our staff member that there would be a physical meeting at the project site on 9th February 2026. That was when I asked him to forward their contact to me and also give them my number.
The first thing I noticed was that their contact preferred chatting instead of calls. I then asked him about his position in the supposed university. He admitted he was not a staff member but a student who claimed to have a good relationship with one of the staff members. According to him, that was how he got the information and decided to contact our staff member to “give it a try.”
Thank God the innocent boy did not go there himself because only God knows what could have happened to him.
Fast forward to 5th February 2026, I contacted their representative to ask for the address and directions to the location. He told me to “come prepared and plan to sleep over.” Immediately, I asked him why I should sleep over. He replied that there would likely be a crowd and that documentation could take more than a day because it was an international university registration process for contractors.
I told him clearly that I would return home the same day and come back if necessary.
On Monday, 9th February 2026, I left my house around 5:00 a.m., to Atan. When I arrived in Atan, I tried calling him, but his number was not connecting. I then dropped a voice note on WhatsApp, after which he instructed me to take another bike to a different location. At that point, I became suspicious.
After he described the location, the bike rider said he did not know anywhere like that around the area. That further strengthened my suspicion. He then started directing the bike rider from one street to another. However, by that point, I had already made up my mind to see the matter to the end. I was no longer interested in the contract itself; I simply wanted to uncover what was going on.
Eventually, he instructed the bike rider to take me to an hospital. On getting there, I met a young boy, probably around 18 years old, wearing a jalabiya and holding a phone and a badly damaged power bank wrapped with plenty of sellotape.
Immediately I got down from the bike, I asked if he was the one waiting for me. He answered yes and said he would take me to an Alfa. I asked, “An Alfa?” and he answered affirmatively.
I immediately requested for his ID card as a staff member of the supposed university. That was when he started talking carelessly. I quickly held him by the waist and insisted that we must go to the police station. He refused.
At that point, it was past 7:00 a.m. I deliberately raised my voice so that people in the community would come outside and witness what was happening. That was one of the reasons I refused to back down.
People gradually started coming out of their houses. I seized his phone and refused to return it until we got to the police station. Later, some community members persuaded me to give him back the phone so he could call the others involved.
They started arriving one after another. I still have videos and pictures from the incident. The community members questioned them thoroughly. As more men gathered around, it became obvious to everyone that their story was not genuine. However, because those boys lived in the area, many residents were afraid to confront them directly. Some people advised me to quietly leave the place, but I insisted that we must go to the police station.
That was when some misguided youths in the community suddenly turned against me and even started beating me alongside the suspected kidnappers or ritualists — I honestly do not know which they were. Yet, I still managed to hold onto one of them. God truly gave me strength and courage that day.
Eventually, their leader, who they called “Chancellor,” contacted a police officer whom I strongly suspected was connected to them. When the officer arrived, I requested his ID card, and he showed it to me. Even then, I still insisted on taking a separate bike because anybody could print a fake ID card.
Luckily, someone in the community identified him as an actual police officer, so I reluctantly agreed to ride with him.
Before leaving the street, I asked for the phone number of the community chairman, but they refused to provide it. I then begged them to at least tell me the actual name of the street, and immediately I got it, I sent my live Google location to my family.
Hmmmm… Nigeria is truly something else. When we finally got to the police station, two officers attended to us. Interestingly, they did not take us into the newer building constructed after the ENDSARS protests, but instead into the older office within the same compound.
After a long back-and-forth discussion, the officers asked me what exactly I wanted since no money had been collected from me.
I told them clearly that my insistence on going to the police station was not for personal gain, but simply to play my role as a responsible citizen. I explained that it was now left for the police to conduct proper investigations.
In the end, the police simply instructed them to apologise to me and “be careful about the kind of clients they deal with.”
That was all.
Till today, I still have the chats, pictures, videos, and other evidence from the incident. Clearly that particular officers are part of the gang of criminals. |
