Family › Re: Tips For Mothers On How To Survive This Harsh Nigerian Economy by bukatyne(f): 12:56pm On Oct 02, 2021 |
finnacle2020: with each passing day the cost of items in the market are going up and many mothers are finding it difficult to buy items from the market. Here are some few tips to assist mothers :
1. Have a budget and list of items needed in the house 2. Buy items in bulk like buying beans, rice and tomato that will last 3-6months. 3. Look for alternatives to expensive items like buying potato instead of yam, Napkin instead of pampers 4. look for other sources o income 5. Stop looking at your neighbors food
please nairalanders you can add your own 2: Buying in bulk is only cheaper for someone who has cashflow. If a family makes daily/weekly income, they obviously would not be able to buy in bulk. 3: in addition to substituting food, also substitute brands; a pack of ziplock is about N2,700; there are locally sold brandless ziplock for 400 per dozen which does same job. Morning Fresh is also cheaper than Mama Lemon; what I hated in MF before is now the selling point: the tiny dispenser. Sunlight detergent vs Ariel etc. Also learn to be very resourceful: cooking spray is same as rubbing your pan with olive oil or ororo; Learn where to source for things at a cheaper rate. |

Darhmmy: We used to be lovers back in uni , We broke up at some point and lost contact. Earlier this year we reconnected at a party and it was obvious we still had feelings for each other.
We started dating and everything seemed nice at first. He never told me he was married. After months of dating , i started to get suspicious as he wouldn't let me visit his home , instead he was always coming to mine and meeting up at hotels. We had a big fight about it and he finally told me the truth. He kept on pleading and asking that we continue dating. I couldn't even leave if I wanted to, I was in love with him.
I am 2 months pregnant and he has been avoiding me. He calls just once in two days and has told me to do whatever I want with the pregnancy , that he is fine with my decisions. I want to keep him and the baby and I'm scared he may ghost up on me. Last night I found his wife and some of his relatives on Facebook and I want to send them texts about it. I really need advise on this. Ku orire! Was ru re, was so re. A gbo onu omo, a gbo onu iya. |

Octopusssy: Covid swept through my family but I was the only one untouched. It's still a miracle. We watched helplessly as life was fading from my dad. Since I was born, till this my age, the worst illness my dad has ever had is catarrh and the occasional mild malaria. But this Covid? You see this Covid?? The baba could not even dress himself. He was beginning to mumble words like someone having a bad case of dementia. My heart broke to see this strong, handsome man reduced to this state. It started with strong, persistent cough that lasted almost more than a month, then flu, then severe malaria, then loss of smell and taste, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath etc.
He recovered when we bombarded him with a mixture of garlic, ginger and Vitamin C. Prior to that all the drugs we were using on him failed to work. The day I knew my father was back was when he told me after I wore his slippers out to buy something "Pussy, there's something wrong with you. All is not well. How can you wear my slippers out??" Sweetest words, especially when you remember he couldn't string a comprehensible sentence together just barely a week ago. 
All my other family members exhibited symptoms of Covid in various degrees, none as critical as my dad's (he is in his mid-60s) but they all recovered. Octopussy, stubborn geh was the only gallant individual. Unscathed 
When it was time to get the vaccine because my company made it mandatory, when it got to my turn the network failed. I spent the whole day at the vaccine center but I was unable to be vaccinated. I kuku left and covered myself with the blood of Jesus.
That, and the nose mask suffices for now. Thank God for His healing hands upon your dad. Please take the vaccines before it becomes a rush if you still plan to work in any standard organization. The Captialists 1 - Employees 0 in this case.  |

thorpido: You people and gender war threads  No one wants to be cheated on, whether male or female. There are women who have never taken it lightly being cheated on and made the men pay heavily. An example is Tiger Wood's ex-wife. Some women have stabbed their husbands to death over infidelity.
The recent trend of paternity fraud is because of recent advancement in technology. It has been there for ages.
My hand no dey women vs men or vice versa. It flies over my head EVERYTIME a woman equates paternity fraud to a husband having baby mamas. Are they just plain stupid or are they catching cruise?  |
Family › Re: Why Are Men Outraged Over Paternity Fraud? by bukatyne(f): 7:19pm On Sep 29, 2021 |
AmazonTopaz: First and foremost I don't support cheating and deception I can never support deception or paternity fraud but I wonder why some men are outraged over paternity fraud.
We live in a society or some of us grew up in a society that gave excuse or justified infidelity amongst men under the guise of "men are polygamous in nature"they forget that men can be used to refer to women too and that polygamous is a gender neutral word for men it is polygyny for women it is polyandry.
When you justify infidelity or adultery you reap paternity fraud because these married men sleep with married women who are wives of other men who are at the receiving end when it comes to paternity fraud.
You men cannot always eat your cake and have it you feel bad when cheated on and call women who commit adultery all sorts of names but hail men when they cheat on women what happened to what is good for the goose is good for the gander.Some people seem to forget that the cheating men don't sleep with themselves they sleep with people's wives and girlfriends too so maybe that shows that women are polygamous in nature and two can play a game.
You cannot be preaching morality and chastity on women while failing to hold yourselves to account as well it doesn't work that way because it is a small world afterall if boys are not taught morality, decency and chastity we will continue to hear tales of paternity fraud and infidelity.
As we try to shame and tell young girls not to follow married men let's not forget to tell young boys and married men to leave married women alone it is the same polygamous men that are sleeping with these women and another man is at the receiving end of this disaster men don't sleep with themselves they sleep with women
As for the married men and women depending on your vows if you promised to be faithful try to be faithful and stop cheating beautiful women and handsome men will never finish in this word try to stick to one be contented,committed and try to learn discipline.
I think we should ask men why they are outraged  This thread is a testament to fact that you either do not understand basic biology or you just want to incite a gender rubble here. If you said why are men angry about cheating wives (taking out pregnancy), then your OP might make sense. The moment you add paternity fraud to it, then your argument lacks no merit. The day men start carrying pregnancies or switching their bastards outside with the wife's child, we can have a discussion. And the constant justification of a woman's wrongs because a man does it too is getting stale. Who steals because his neighbor is a thief or he/she was stolen from? It makes more sense to set the standard you want for YOUR OWN man. |

walkbrazil4k: 1. I come from a country where females don't ride motorcycles and bicycles in the city, but would you find few women riding tricycles in the city but in villages in my country you would see women riding bicycles and motorcycles but in the main city it is always hard to find women that ride bikes and many would even laugh at you or many women are even shy to ride motorcycles because they feel too big or they feel that they are bigger than motorcycles, they prefer a car or using Uber to shuttle around.
2. This is why in developed countries they have bicycle lanes so people can ride and this is very important to reduce pollution and where I come from, in the city, you would hardly see women or girls ride bicycles, lol. maybe because many of the roads are bad. Lol, I would leave you to be the judge and we are not used to women driving buses and all that because in Africa we believe there are some things that women shouldn't be allowed to do or some jobs that they should not do, I think before in Iran women are not allowed to ride bicycles or maybe they do now.
3. Brazilian women have rights and there is freedom for everyone and in Brazil, you have bicycle lanes where people can ride their bicycles in peace without stress and it is common in Brazil To see women riding buses, motorcycles and bicycles, in fact even old women you see them riding bikes and it is very common here even the rich have bicycles it is no big deal, you are not poor if you ride bicycles unlike our belief in Africa that it is only the poor that ride bicycles, we must imbibe the bicycle riding culture in Africa to reduce pollution so don't be surprised when you come to Brazil and see women riding it is normal here
https://www.walkbrazil4k.com/2021/06/ride-motorcycles-in-brazil-i-come-from.html?m=1 If you want to promote Brazilian women, you can do so without putting down where you come from. 2. I do not know where you are from (hopefully not Nigeria) because if you acknowledged in paragraph one that bike/motorcycle riding is seen as something for the poor, then I don't see the reason for the propaganda. If you want to sell bike riding because it's friendly to the ecosystem, do that in peace. 3. Brazilian women have rights; African women (I sincerely hope you are not Nigerian  ) don't have rights to ride bikes {after acknowledging most women don't ride due to the synonym to poverty}. Perhaps this should be part of the 5th wave of feminism?  What would have been a very beautiful thread to showcase the benefit of bike riding such as exercise, decongests the road, more ecofriendly etc.; you have ruined with propaganda. I hope after the equal rights campaign to ride bikes, the conception that it is for the poor would suddenly vanish. |

Family › Re: My Brother-In-Law Caught His Wife Cheating! by bukatyne(f): 8:55pm On Sep 27, 2021*. Modified: 11:13pm On Sep 29, 2021 |
TWLifestyle: it is also a personal decision to cheat within the marriage instead of coming clean and opting for a divorce - which would have been the honourable thing . Well, anyone who cheats in a marriage should be prepared for the consequences of cheating if caught.  And no partner can stop the other from cheating, you can only decide/control your reaction/response to their breach of the marriage contract. TWLifestyle: 1. if you are really sincere about being able to walk out of a marriage - why don't men walk out of their marriage abd fvck who they realky want to fvck instead of cheating on their wives?
2. The rules are different for each gender but the important thing is treating each other with decency -
3. you can't happily be the polygamous gender and be hypocritically complaining that women are cheating on you ! 1. I wish I knew what you are on about here; what has men cheating on their wives got to do with women walking out of an adulterous marriage if they want to? The men decide to cheat (let's assume that women are saintly and do not cheat.), the wives respond/react as they will: cheat in retaliation; win the husband back; threaten the sidechic; do fire prayers & watch war room; divorce; ignore the man etc. etc. the options are endless. 2. According to you, what rules are different for each gender? I 100% agree with you that each partner should treat the other with decency and fairness aka do unto others as you want others to do unto you. 3. I am female: has women started claiming the polygamous gender? I also agree with you that it is hypocritical, emotional and lack of common sense for an heterosexual man to claim to be polygamous on one hand and complain about women cheating on the other hand. Statistically, the ratio of men to women in Nigeria cannot support every man's polygamous nature. At some point, men & women would share & swap sexual partners. My thoughts? No matter the ranting on line, women are more inclined to forgive a cheating partner than men are even when kids are not involved. And it has nothing to do with brideprice. I am still trying to decipher if it is a combination of nature & nurture although I would lean heavily towards nature when I think of the Beyonces, Hillary Clintons, Ciaras, Adesuwa Etomis, Toolz and so many other 'high' women who have forgiven cheating husbands when it is obvious they are capable to live the life they want alone. How much more other women around who excuse and indulge cheating husbands on a daily basis. |

The Alimanjri system where children are not cared for, misapplication of allowance for polygamy, child marriage and ignorance/ lack of enlightenment is a breeding ground for irresponsible husbands.
No one to call them to order, easy to swap wives to maintain the four wives stipulated etc.
1. Polygamy should be banned for men below an income threshold.
2. Parents of Alimanjri children should be jailed.
3. Continuous religious sensitization on expectations.
4. Child marriage should be banned
5. Irresponsible fathers should be punished. If their local police can monitor things like haircuts and others, catching irresponsible fathers shouldn't be a hassle. |

Klass99: Why does female infidelity pepper men so much like this?
As in, they practically break the internet when the story is about a woman who cheated (whether girl friend or wife)
But, it is the same infidelity women endure and still stay in spite of their hurt and pain.
I type in peace o, I am not looking for an argument or looking to be dragged this afternoon. I am just thinking out loud Who is forcing women to 'endure'? Maybe a cheating husband is not a deal breaker for a lot of women? I know a woman (not celebrity or anything) who walked out of a cheating spouse with four kids. I know a man who sleeps with prostitutes (no communication/relationship) because his wife would walk out of the marriage if he is caught cheating. I know another man who said he knows his wife would walk if he commits adultery and so that one of his guiding principles; he still likes marriage to his wife. It is one thing to make noise online; it is another for your partner to know that adultery is really a deal breaker so they sit up or decide if the adultery is worth the current marriage. |
