nanakgh: To each his own, but if I had his money, public clout and approval would mean nothing to me. My life with the love of my life, our kids and my ability to help my family and the poor and the needy would be my joy and happiness.
I'd spend all day playing Xbox and PS with my kids and having long talks and gossiping with the wife. But then again, to each his own.
Hierarchy of needs...
Once you get to a level, the things on the next rung become your motivation.
bigfrancis21: This is really a sad situation regarding the Igbo language. It is dying a gradual death honestly, and with each passing generation the number of fluent speakers keep reducing. Igbo parents are repeating the same mistake each passing year. There is a gradual switch to English and were as a tribe are on this gradual journey of switching to English language. Something needs to be done about the Igbo language honestly. The attitude of our people towards the language is disheartening. On my father's side, they were about 8 surviving adults out of 9 children of which only one family raised their children in Igbo. All other 7 adults raised their kids in English and 90% of them/us (28 in total) do not speak Igbo as young adults today. In my own family (my dad is the 3rd son), I am the only one who speaks Igbo fluently, my 3 siblings do not speak and do not care to put effort into speaking, so do most of my cousins. We lost our grandmother last year and one of my pains was losing a matriarch who was so versed in the Igbo language who passed down the language to her children but her children failed to do the same to their own children. Learning Igbo as an adult is not easy and this is what many Igbo parents who speak Igbo do not understand because it comes easy to them as they were raised with it. However, if you put in efforts you will be solid in the language in about 2 to 3 years.
While I understand the sentiment...
Languages die.
Even more distinguished languages have vanished, and are understood only by a handful of academics.
Language is utilitarian, and if something easier, more widely spoken, or more upwardly mobile comes along, the one of lesser utility gets dumped.
Shawncavendish: "Áchọ̀rọ̀ m" (Igbo izugbe) and "Áchọ̀lụ m" (Onitsha dialect) mean "I want", while "Àchọ́rọ̄ m" (Onitsha dialect) and ("Àchọ́ghị m" (izugbe) mean "I don't want". Take note of the tone marks. Some words are spelt the same but have different tones. If you understand the difference in tone, you'll realise that "Áchọ̀rọ̀ m" and "Àchọ́rọ̄ m" are different sentences with different meanings.
Jaynom: Smh. I don't trust pastors especially around young naive women! From my little observation, most pastors are Hórny. A lot of women have been sexually molested by so-called pastors and are afraid to even talk about it because of fear of stigmatization. By the way "TOUCH NOT god's ANNOINTED" is the Biggest Scam in Christianity!
Young, naive?
She's been attending Winners for 27 years, so she is at least 27 years.
She's just trying to get back at the man for something.
They've been doing it plenty times and it's not like she was under duress.
YoungAncient1: Maybe Chelsea should begin to look at Nuno Espirito Santo keenly. He seems to have the number of the big teams. Plus his lads are like the crazy gang; they are not scared of any contest. Plus they play until the final whistle.
Besides, Sarri is exhausted (both technically and tactically). He is berate of new ideas. If his monotonous style doesn't work at first, he does it again, and again and again until Chelsea is 2 goals down. Then they give up.
The saga ends with him blaming the players for lacking cutting edge, passion and not playing to instructions.
If a coach tells you to score goals and you don't...na im be say you no day follow instructions
XhosaNostra: I was inside a taxi once when all of a sudden my stomach started churning & I got all sweaty. I knew it was a bad case of a stomach bug. I had to go! It was so urgent, I almost used my handbag as a toilet. Needless to say, I got off the taxi & ran into the nearest house to use the loo. I couldn't even see clearly, that's how terrible it was. I walked into this house & asked to use the toilet, without waiting for a reply I found it by myself. After I was done doing my business, the embarrassment & shame set it. It took me about 30 minutes to summon enough courage to walk out. I sheepishly made my way to the sitting room, quietly introduced myself & apologized for the intrusion The mother was very nice & understanding, fortunately
Chinnyrita27: Good day nairalanders. I created this account to seek for advice as I am confused and crying as I type this. I have been happily married for 4 years with a daughter of 3 and my husband. Not about a week ago, I had issues with one of his friend in his absence in our home. He had this close friend who came visiting on a faithful evening last Monday(I was not strong enough to go to work),he came when my husband wasn't around so I had to leave whatever I was doing to keep him company while we wait for my husband, at some point I offered to get him food, he obliged and ate, it was not upto 30 minutes after eating, he asked me to go buy him card. Politely, I told him I can't as was so tired and weak to walk about 10 minutes under the sun, i suggested to recharge free for him from my bank, he insisted, frowned his face and asked if I was trying to tell him that he can't recharge from his account, I was shocked, he stood up angry and aggressively and drove out of the compound. I didn't utter a word, I was angry but kept calm.
Not until my husband came back, and when I was about to welcome him but, he angrily yield and screamed at me and asked why I had to insult his friend and call him poor. I angrily asked him why he believed his friend without trying to confirm the from me, we deeply quarrelled and he made statement threatening to end the marriage if I cannot respect his friends and his people. I have never disrespected him or any of his friends and family members before, I'm so confused, we have not be conversing and relating well since Monday. I tried to make peace with him as I wasn't comfortable keeping malice with him but he said I will have to apologise to his friend which is something I don't think I can do.
I am so confused, what should I do?
I suspect you didn't provide all the details.
If you did, then something isn't right with Mr Chinnyrita27.
Ishilove: Nigerians are so greedy. They don't even care about the losses being incurred by the company and truck owner. All they care about is stuffing their bellies with the fruits of other people's sweat. After they will complain about corruption and how useless the government is, forgetting that the Nigerian government is a reflection of it's electorate.
popweezy: Hello guy! PLS how do I turn a girl down when she is requesting for relationship in a polite way without hurting her feelings. Please guys, it's very urgent...
Politely tell her you're not into fat girls
Just kidding.
Nothing needs to be said. Just don't lead her on and she'll get the message – they are incredibly perceptive of disinterest.
oyebanji44: Obj's one aim in life is to make this nation a truly democratic country.he believed that in Nigeria, national loyalties were stronger than tribal ones.And this was one of the reasons why majority of the yorubas disliked him
MobilityExpress: That is a very young male lion. Judging by the looks of his mane, this lion is probably about 3 years old. Still young, inexperienced and cautious. Let him try this stunt with a fully grown male lion in the wild, he will have the lion's teeth sunk into his neck within 10 seconds and he will be dead in less than 1 minute.
My oga, that lion wey big like pickup...
By age 2 they've perfected their hunting skills – not when they can kill a feeble, defenceless human.
And are considered fully grown by age 3.
If you listen to the guy you'll see that he has an idea of what he's doing – even though there are no guarantees.
MrDoGood: I was in a similar situation. She feels she's still hot and sexy.. lol women with their ways of thinking. Get another phone with a new number and register with another name cos she's going to check the number with true caller. Register whatsapp with the new line and use the phone to chat yourself. Claiming to be one of your ex wanting you guys to see that she just wants to apologize and all that. If possible, make up for all the wrongs she's done to you. Just make it a very sensitive chat that would make her jealous and want to bring down the roof when she sees it. If possible, put one of your cousin's female photos that she doesn't know and make sure she's extremely beautiful but u need to play calm in the chat as a man who respects the wife and you don't want anything to do with exes. Your wife won't be happy with it and bla bla. To round it up, tell her you will appreciate it if she stops chatting with you. (Remember this is yourself chatting with you) then let your wife see the chats. She will definitely bring up issues abut u seeing her. Then you have the upper hand to open her eyes and brain to see what you are talking about. Believe me bro, she will stop all those nonsense of felling funky and hot that exes kept calling her. na she dey give the room for the conversation. (That's if she is willing to change) without that, there's little or nothing u can do.
I do not want to use a disgusting word, but she should be ashamed to talk about her ex. let alone giving u the impression that they're many. She should count herself very lucky to have a man like you.
Instead of all this hide and seek, why not get a real girlfriend instead?
Instead of you guys quarrelling about her exes, let it now be about YOUR exes or girlfriends.
musa1987: My brother, i have similar experience when i got married. a week after our wedding my wife woke up to informed that she want to go to the town to collect phone from her ex who came back from abroad. i just declare that she can go and should not come back home. she brag from that morning till in the night but i refuse to alter a word. i told her to choose her marriage or her ex. some times u need to be rigid to get it right.
