I am from Edo state(Benin City) but based in Lagos with my family. I met this sweet Yoruba angel during the festive period in December 2020, we fell in love and ever since it has been from one sweet level to the other (although we have had misunderstanding sometimes but we usually settle immediately). she is nice, respectful both to my parents and siblings. I planned to engage her at our third year relationship anniversary which is supposed to be December this year, and the both of us have been talking of settling down by mid 2024.

The issue now is that since the past election, my parents have been advising me against continuing with the relationship. The girl that was once the talk of the family, suddenly everyone has developed a cold feet towards her. Even if they have been trying to hide it whenever she is around, she has started noticing it and have been asking me questions. What even angered my parents the more was how GRV (Gbadebo Rode Vivor) was treated by most Yorubas simply because his mother is Igbo even when the father is Yoruba. My parents are saying since I have interest in politics, I should go and get an Edo girl to marry. But I have always maintained that I wont marry from my tribe and they said if I dont want an Edo girl, I can go and get a lady from anywhere in the SS that they dont want a yoruba as a daughter inlaw.

I am confused right now. I love this girl and dont want to leave her, at the same time I dont want to disobey my parents. This girl even supported and voted GRV. I have tried to plead with them and even sent one of my uncle to go help me talk to them, they are still insisting that if I go ahead with my plans, then I should count them out of my marriage.

Please kindly advise on what I should do at this moment.

Dear Nairalander,

How do you cope with your life after your spouse failed you and took the whole matter to the worse level by seeking for divorce?

I woke up everyday of my life in the past nine months thinking about this man. I heard he has moved on in Lagos, while I am still here bothering myself about him. This is the only man I have ever known in my life. He just left without looking back not even to check on his son.
What can I do to forget him totally?

I am down emotionally and it's affecting me.

Kindly advise.

“The biggest risk a lady can take is to marry a poor man” – Slayqueen asserts

The slayqueen said that a woman shouldn’t consider marrying a man if he cannot afford to supply her anything that her father can readily provide.


According to a Nigerian Slayqueen, marrying a poor man is the biggest mistake a woman can make in life. The unidentified woman made the accusation on social media and attempted to provide evidence to support it.

She said that a woman shouldn’t consider marrying a man if he cannot afford to supply her anything that her father can readily provide.

She went on to say that although she has chosen for herself not to wind up with a broke or impoverished man, she is not stopping anyone from marrying whoever they choose.

The woman went on to say that people who are often impoverished and frugal tend to have poor cognitive abilities.

Those who are experts in hoarding dollars,Nigeria is gradually happening to u guys and this has led many stranded as to what to do.

The reverse consequence is hard to believe and this could further help in reducing the value of the dollar to naira to a shocking level beyond comprehension.

More money is being pumped in to further reduce the dollar to naira exchange.

My friend, a promising young man who just married let's than 5 years ago died last week.

He won the chairmanship of a group that he belonged to and during the celebration of that victory, someone spiked his drink. According to what we heard, during the celebration, he collected a glass of drink from someone for them to toast and the moment after taking that drink, his body system changed.

From then onwards, he has been sick going from one hospital to the other till he died.

Guys let's be very careful. If you must drink outside, ensure you opened the drink yourself and have that drink handy till you finish it. Don't collect even a glass of cup from anyone. If paraventure you left your drink open and went to the rest room or to pick a call, when you come back, pour that one away and order for a new one.

One can never be too careful to be safe, but there are little measures we can put in ourselves so as to mitigate this to the bearest minimum.

Human conscience these days have gone so low. People are killing for fun now. Just small argument and someone is already planning to kill a friend just to show who is better or who is the odogwu among them. Some people will just want to kill you cause you are doing better than them or for something as common as you are always getting the fine babes. Let's all be careful how we roll out.

Now this my friends wife have been thrown into mourning at this early stage of her marriage.

You regularly diss people that live with the disease in 2023? That's rather backward
