Romance › The Widow Of Ephesus. by BuddhaPalm(op):
Read this really interesting write up yesterday. Had to share.

It's by a Roman writer named Petronius, who died in 66 AD!




There was a married woman in Ephesus of such famous virtue that she drew women even from the neighboring states to gaze upon her.

So when she had buried her husband, the common fashion of following the procession with loose hair, and beating the naked breast in front of the crowd, did not satisfy her. She followed the dead man even to his resting place, and began to watch and weep night and day over the body, which was laid in an underground vault in the Greek fashion. Neither her parents nor her relations could divert her from thus torturing herself, and courting death by starvation. The officials were at last rebuffed and left her. Everyone mourned for her as a woman of unique character, and she was now passing her fifth day without food. A devoted maid sat by the failing woman, shed tears in sympathy with her woes, and at the same time filled up the lamp, which was placed in the tomb, whenever it sank.

There was but one opinion throughout the city, every class of person admitting this was the one true and brilliant example of chastity and love.

At this moment the governor of the province gave orders that some robbers should be crucified near the small building where the lady was bewailing her recent loss. So on the next night, when the soldier who was watching the crosses, to prevent anyone taking down a body for burial, observed a light shining plainly among the tombs, and heard a mourner's groans, a very human weakness made him curious to know who it was and what he was doing. So he went down into the vault, and on seeing a very beautiful woman, at first halted in confusion, as if he had seen a portent or some ghost from the world beneath. But afterwards noticing the dead man lying there, and watching the woman's tears and the marks of her nails on her face, he came to the correct conclusion, that she found her regret for the lost one unendurable.

He therefore brought his supper into the tomb, and began to urge the mourner not to persist in useless grief, and break her heart with unprofitable sobs: for all men made the same end and found the same resting place, and so on with the other platitudes which restore wounded spirits to health. But she took no notice of his sympathy, struck and tore her breast more violently than ever, pulled out her hair, and laid it on the dead body.

Still the soldier did not retire, but tried to give the poor woman food with similar encouragements, until the maid, who was no doubt seduced by the smell of his wine, first gave in herself, and put out her hand at his kindly invitation, and then, refreshed with food and drink, began to assail her mistress's obstinacy, and say, "What will you gain by all this, if you faint away with hunger, if you bury yourself alive, if you breathe out your undoomed soul before fate calls for it? Believest thou that the ashes or the spirit of the buried dead can feel thy woe? [Virgil, Æneid, iv, 34.] Will you not begin life afresh? Will you not shake off this womanish failing, and enjoy the blessings of the light so long as you are allowed? Your poor dead husband's body here ought to persuade you to keep alive."

People are always ready to listen when they are urged to take a meal or to keep alive. So the lady, being thirsty after several days' abstinence, allowed her resolution to be broken down, and filled herself with food as greedily as the maid, who had been the first to yield.

Well, you know which temptation generally assails a man on a full stomach. The soldier used the same insinuating phrases which had persuaded the lady to consent to live, to conduct an assault upon her virtue. Her modest eye saw in him a young man, handsome and eloquent.

The maid begged her to be gracious, and then said, "Wilt thou fight love even when love pleases thee? Or dost thou never remember in whose lands thou art resting?" [Virgil, Æneid, iv, 38.]

I need hide the fact no longer. The lady ceased to hold out, and the conquering hero won her over entire. So they passed not only their wedding night together, but the next and a third, of course shutting the door of the vault, so that any friend or stranger who came to the tomb would imagine that this most virtuous lady had breathed the last over her husband's body. Well, the soldier was delighted with the woman's beauty, and his stolen pleasure. He bought up all the fine things his means permitted, and carried them to the tomb the moment darkness fell.

So the parents of one of the crucified, seeing that the watch was ill-kept, took their man down in the dark and administered the last rite to him. The soldier was eluded while he was off duty, and next day, seeing one of the crosses without its corpse, he was in terror of punishment, and explained to the lady what had happened. He declared that he would not wait for a court-martial, but would punish his own neglect with a thrust of his sword. So she had better get ready a place for a dying man, and let the gloomy vault enclose both her husband and her lover.

The lady's heart was tender as well as pure. "Heaven forbid," she replied, "that I should look at the same moment on the dead bodies of two men whom I love. No, I would rather make a dead man useful, than send a live man to death."

After this speech she ordered her husband's body to be taken out of the coffin and fixed up on the empty cross. The soldier availed himself of this far-seeing woman's device, and the people wondered the next day by what means the dead man had ascended the cross.

My brother,
Thank God you also saw it this way most farmers and intending farmer will even buy from them.

I wrote about this issue here on nairalandforum exactly on the 13th of march this year some people even try to justified the action of Shoprite.

What happened to the local content we are pushing.

https://www.nairaland.com/2065789/shoprite-now-sells-imported-fruits

https://www.nairaland.com/2064150/please-right-picture
If Shoprite can buy in Ghana, ship and then pay duty...and it's still more economically feasible for them.

That says a lot about your 'local content', doesn't it.

Or you suppose they love Ghanaians more than they do us?

chichriso:
Please I need good advise from you guys now, am a guy of mid twenty living with my uncle and his wife since March this year .

To go straight to the point, my uncle's wife have been seducing me, sometimes she will tie wrapper and hold me from behind while talking to me.

Just last night, she called me into their matrimonial room when I entered I discover that she was putting on bum short with bra, I immediately go out of the room. She called and called but I refused to return to that room.

Since then, she have been behaving strange and am no longer at peace in that apartment.

My uncle is not around because his work takes him out everytime

WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?

PLEASE HELP
Listen to your Bible son...

For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man's wife preys on your very life (Prov. 6:26).

For jealousy arouses a husband's fury, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge (Prov. 6:34).



4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
and to insight, “You are my relative.”
5 They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words
.

6 At the window of my house
I looked down through the lattice.
7 I saw among the simple,
I noticed among the young men,
a youth who had no sense.


8 He was going down the street near her corner,
walking along in the direction of her house
9 at twilight, as the day was fading,
as the dark of night set in.

10 Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent
.
11 (She is unruly and defiant,
her feet never stay at home;

12 now in the street, now in the squares,
at every corner she lurks.)
13 She took hold of him and kissed him
and with a brazen face she said:

14 “Today I fulfilled my vows,
and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.
15 So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!

16 I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.

18 Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning;
let’s enjoy ourselves with love!
19 My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey
.

20 He took his purse filled with money
and will not be home till full moon.”
21 With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.
22 All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer stepping into a noose

23 till an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life
.
24 Now then, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to what I say.

25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways
or stray into her paths.
26 Many are the victims she has brought down;
her slain are a mighty throng.

27 Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.


That's definitely the Bible at its finest. So beautifully written...

Romance › Re: Do I Have A Reason To Be Concerned/ Paranoid? Boyfriend In S. Africa For 2 Weeks by BuddhaPalm(m): 12:13pm On Sep 02, 2015
Sunshine2016:
Well because you learn from past experiences. I really don't think sex is a requirement for a good relationship. Is it common in relationships? Yes. It is an absolute necessity? No. Honestly, I don't see the big deal in taking my time and developing the relationship FIRST before going down that route. Physical intimacy can be explored through other avenues for example handling, kissing and making out.

Care to explain what you mean by "'I feel like you are advertising yourself too much''. No offence taken by the way.
I really love it how girls "become wiser", and start holding out on sex - once they want to get married.

But it isn't 'wisdom', so to speak, merely utilitarian.

The same way a hunter would employ DIFFERENT snares for different game.

But if care isn't taken, there's some ninja-guy, behind-the-scenes, who this newfound 'wisdom' doesn't apply to...

Romance › Re: I Saw My Lagos Neighbour Last Night - Prostituting In Port Harcourt by BuddhaPalm(m): 9:48am On Sep 01, 2015
ashmanpolo:
I remember those days in Lagos. My mom would complain the hell out of me. "Why can't you be like Mama Nkechi's Children?" God, why won't my first son be like these wonderful kids?

Although the children were extraordinary. Amongst the peers they would stand out.
At School - Ikeja High School, they would perform excellently well and the Teachers knew them.
At Block Rosary they would lead in Prayers. My mom won't stop yelling, dragging my left ear to our neighbour's flat and saying...

"Nkechi teach this stubborn boy how to recite Catena and Litany of the Blessed virgin Mary"
Intimidation!!! Infact, what other word is stronger than 'Intimidation'?

Presently, we're all grown and I now work in Port Harcourt and everybody is doing their thing and also helping their parents. I hardly visit Lagos unless it's expedient. My old neighbourhood would always Prick craze out of me since my Father kicked the bucket and became shorter than the ground. These days my mom would say to me "you're the best child ever"

Two days back. Sunday night I saw Mama Nkechi's second daughter standing half-nude in front of Ocabic (a strip club) in Port Harcourt. A girl that's supposedly in Unizik, final year? I had to knock myself thrice to reassure myself that I wasn't dreaming or something. There are certain things you don't see regularly on a Breaking News. Like

'A goat killed two Lions yesterday'
'Eyinmba beats Chelsea, 5-0'
'Buhari hands over Presidency to lalasticlala'

She saw me and gasped. Panting and breathing heavily she started explaining many many things to me. My friends were like "Ashman na your sister be this ni?"

I was so scared. This girl could give me 'otapiapia' just to make sure her parents don't get a wind of this story.

The bottom line is, I had to advice her. She started crying, begging and promised never to indulge in prostitution again. Her friends in school lured her.

My advice to young girls - Be mindful of the friends you keep. Say No to Prostitution
Stop?

Yeah right.

My behaviour sometimes scares me! Before I begin, i gotta say it, am more of an introvert. I read a lot books, all kinda books from novels to classical text. I love a quiet live, I love myself so much, that I take time in giving myself a treat, trust myself, believe so much In myself! I can be in a room all day without minding if anyone actually exist in the world and am happy.
What gets me scared is that, to some extend I don't have friends!
It may just be me, and me alone...without friends..
Is this behaviour normal? pls help me fellow NL

My brother...

Women, once that drummer begin drum for them, even Pope, Imam or Okija shrine no fit change their mind.

This guy is not a 'bad decision'. He is her decision. And she made it CLEARLY with her emotional korokoro eyes wide open.

This story is just an old rehashed plot. Every person will tell you a version he or she has seen on experienced.

For my very close friend, it was some dude from Spain who destroyed his relationship.

They really were just the sweetest couple.

And my very own sister, some S.A based dude swooped in and married her, before you could say "kwarraption".

Naturally her very loving boyfriend was very fvcking distraught.

That's women for you.

They don't really truly 'send' you, in the way that you are capable of 'sending' them.

If you like, write her an encyclopedia, she wouldn't heed a word.

Just move on with your life.

Equally, tomorrow, it will be you making some other poor guy's life miserable, by magneting his beloved girlfriend.

Well, if that's not the 'circle' of life.

I believe you.

The true definition of love is when you ride the cock carousel for years. And then when your mating market value diminishes, significantly, some doe-eyed gentleman swoops in and 'rewrites' your story.

I particularly like the part where she called him a "real man".
