Family › Re: She Needs Help From Rape by bukatyne(f):
Kirchoffs:
Hello familylanders, so I brought this topic here cos I know this part of NL is filled with mature people. I met this girl sometime in February and she has become a very good friend to me , we talk alot and I try my best to advice her.

She stays with her aunt because her real mom passed on when she was about 4years old and the relationship between she and her father isn't cordial. Recently she opened up to me about how her aunt's husband has been abusing her sexually the man comes into the house when no one is around and rapes her , she has reported the man to her aunt and the woman seems powerless to do anything about it . I was shell shocked when she told me because I only hear of such stuff from a distance not that it happens to someone I happen to know.

Please I need your advice on how to help her , she is a young lady of just about 22years.
Have you engaged her to know the exact help she needs?

Does she want to leave their house? Then she needs to be financially empowered. To attain that empowerment, she needs to be in school (to get a job) or learn a skill/trade.

Does she did an emotional/mental healing? Then you can point her to the Church/social services in your area.

Does she want the man to get punished? Then she takes up the case with the numerous NGOs specialized in that field.

I am curious as to the hold he still has on her at 22. Is he paying her fees or leveraging on providing accommodation? Is he the major provider hence subtly threatening her (the aunt's reaction seems to be a pointer)? Or does she now have sex with him to 'secure her place' in the family till she has an alternative?

Why did the Taliban warn her prior to now? Did they know that this take over would happen? shocked shocked shocked

When humans understand that mankind doesn't have contentment and do not know when to stop, then things like this would stop surprising us.

The moment a show applauds immortality for instance, it is only a matter of time before married people openly display same.

If a system encourages petty stealing, very soon they would graduate to armed robbery and murder.

Maybe by 2040, parents & children would start having sex on BB Naija.

Once the foundation is wrong, that is the beginning of the end cheesy

These are Christians as usual
You won't allow polygamy in peace yet as hypocrites you are worse with several partners while preaching monogamy and abstinence.

Boko Haram and ISIS are also Muslims grin

At least she did not kill anyone.

How is Christianity stopping Muslims from polygamyhuh Or even child marriages that is your forte?

Do we force Muslims to be monogamous (also Muslims' forte) or kill the ones that are not compliant? (Still Muslims' forte)?
Family › Re: Woman In Tears As Her Uncle Throws Her & Family Out Of Their Dead Father's House by bukatyne(f): 4:42pm On Sep 01, 2021
omakay:
A lot of us here have children who are above 20yrs yet cannot disclose details of family property until one is no longer around and someone takes undue advantage.

Maybe the father and the brother had an agreement that involved that house and the brother is only fulfilling what might be the clause in the agreement. MAYBE ooooo. Before una begin shout here anyhow.

Because of the unnecessary secrecy of the father, we will never know.
It is sad really.

If people are not ready to leave their birth families and cleave to their spouses; just marry in your birth family and close case.

Family › Re: My Ongoing Experience Recovering From My Wife's Infidelity by bukatyne(f): 11:17am On Sep 01, 2021
Bhus21:
Quick update to this thread. After much consideration and giving my wife the chance to make amends, I've decided to end our marriage. We will be getting a divorce and work together on co-parenting our kids. I needed to be able to tell my kids when they're adults that I tried my best and I can say now that I did. So my conscience is clear and I can move on to the next phase of life.

One of the things I read that was important early on was that no important decisions should be made within the first 90 days. I successfully negotiated those 90 days with the attitude of working on the marriage. My wife on the other hand couldn't see past her ego and pride and was stuck on her resentment and perceived slights. After 90 days I finally decided there was nothing to hold on to anymore and that I was too valuable to wait around for my wife to choose and return to me. So I'm letting her go, let her go find her happiness elsewhere while I nurse myself back to life.

Thanks to all those that advised here. To those that were disparaging, understand thatLong-lasting decisions with serious consequences on others should never be taken in a rash manner.
I wish you all the best.

That's no good enough reason to cheat.
So sex should now be like food; 3 square meals sex a day, morning afternoon & night.

So someone is sex starved means they want sex three times a day?

Education › Re: Why Are Countries Referred To As "She"? by bukatyne(f): 12:50am On Sep 01, 2021
Biglittlelois:
This has always crossed my mind most times, and I always come up blank, even the all knowing Google always bring up unsatisfactory answers(to me anyway) so i decided to bring it here for more discussions, suggestions, and answers

Why are countries referred to as "she" and not "he"?
Non living things are assigned gendered pronouns according to the major characteristics.

It was never considered 'sexist/misogynist' until recently.

So some feminine non-living words because of their ability to reproduce, multiply, create, balance, stability, elegance, support life etc. are:
1. Earth - Mother Earth (this can also refer to the soil because it aids growth/life)
2. Country
3. Motherland (also referencing country)
4. Nature
5. Ship/boat/cars/vehicles - perhaps because men owned them more initially and treated them like lovers? undecided
6. Liberty/Freedom ( the Legal symbol of justice is female lady justice)
7. Luck - Lady Luck
8. Ocean/Sea
9. Life
10. Moon
11. Language (Mother tongue) etc.

Male non-living words are for strength; fieriness; power etc.
1. Death (the grim reaper is a wizard)
2. Time
3. Sun (somewhere said the Sun is giving {masculine} while the earth {absorbing} and the moon {reflecting} are feminine cool etc.

Well (unfortunately or not grin) men do not get many inanimate objected gendered after them.

@register505:

Congratulations on your wedding ceremony.

Like our elders say, it is hard to bend a dry fish which means it is easy to bend a new one.

Your marriage is still very young (a wet fish) so you both can adjust to the kind of home you want.

I am going to draw you back to your courtship: What did you discuss about kids? Money? Domestics? Career? Religion? Dreams? Aspirations? Retirement? etc. etc.?

Since finance is the bone of contention now: what specifically did you discuss about finances? Are you sticking to the plan?

Let's assume you did not discuss (even if you did)

This is an opportunity to discuss; what is your ideal financial outlook in marriage? Forget political correctness or wokeness. What do YOU really want? What DOES she REALLY want? Then you both meet at the middle if not aligned. I have listed below some models:

1. The husband provided EVERYTHING;
2. The husband is the major provider while the wife uses her discretion;
3. The husband and wife contributes 50% of whatever is required;
4. The husband and wife have an account where they pool their funds monthly for children fees, rent, projects etc. Their remaining funds is utilized as they wish
5. The husband and wife maintains 100% joint account and do all money decisions TOGETHER. This joint account might be a physical joint account or A moves the money to B's account who is also the financial manager of the home.

Ideally, both parties should discuss money irrespective of the model adopted however you would agree that might not be feasible in models 1 - 3.

Even if she doesn't want to discuss money with you and doesn't expect you to discuss it with her, she has to be financially responsible to your marriage if that is the model you desire.

@Change of name: Na una get your kaya. There are many reasons a lady can decide not to change her surname. But with the way your wife is going, she is investing in her birth family.

Like the Bible say, where your treasure is, that's where your heart would be also.

Goodluck, you will be fine if this is properly handed.

Nice write up. It is really wonderful that you love your work.

However, the question was, what do you hate about your job or place of work?

I put my caveat at the beginning of my post.

I don't 'love' my job; I wrote the things I love about it.

I hate every other thing about it. undecided

RightToReject:
One problem almost all of you in this kind of situation has is putting a wrong price or meaning on peace, love, maturity, wisdom, civility, etc., from the inception of your relationships.

From the connotation of your submissions:

- While courting her, you gave her an impression that she can always do whatever makes her happy, instead of what is right regardless of whether it makes her happy, all in a bid to appear a civil/modern - wannabe libertarian - because you didn't want to lose her. Now that she has started living your philosophy in fullness, you have started complaining and appearing weak and helpless.

- The fact that you have put a wrong price on peace is the reason why you have brought this matter here instead of sitting her down and read the riot act out to her that the price of peace (love in general) in the house and union is everyone striving hard in doing what is right at any given time; else, war will take center stage and mean it in words and actions. No, you won't do this because of feeble-mindedness glossed with the false garb of maturity/emotional intelligence.

In summary, put an ethical philosophy that is humane in place and let it be the bond that will hold two of you and the union in general.

What advice do you want us to give you here?
To tell you to stop her from helping her family?
Is it your wife's money you want to depend on? abi which one is she caters more for her family at the expense of your pressing needs?

Oh... The reason you married her was because she was supporting you financially. So, now she withdrew the resources and channels it to her family, you're having a difficult time accepting that change.

Please let her be. You should hustle to meet your immediate familys pressing needs. Not like she's even asking you for money to send to them. Her hard earned money.

You men don't know what you want. A woman is dependent, wahala. A woman is independent, problem.

Proof
@Yashica,

I am e-impressed with your resilient attitude and ability to succeed despite all odds.

You have done it so far hence I trust you can do it again.

Interestingly, not one road leads to the market so you can have your masters without travelling now. Because of your financial situation, a recurring capital intensive venture is neither advisable nor sustainable.

Your mother is sick means you care for her medical bills and most likely care for your siblings medically also.

Seeking for a angel online (I am assuming you have checked offline and found no one) would most likely land you in trouble or make you indebted to the wrong person. This is also frankly a way to make a mistake in the choice of a romantic partner.

I would advise that you get a job after NYSC (You can drop the course you read so that people can assist with job offers) so you have a means of income you can diligently save from.

While working, get all the stuffs you need to get like passport, transcript, required exams etc.

Also follow the following people on instagram if you don't: @drolubamiji @tundetash @mariammomodu

They help people get scholarships, grants and good jobs in UK, US and Canada through free advises via their posts and paid consultations and mentorship programs.

Please note that most of the scholarships and grants require you to pay a percentage of the fees.

Goodluck.

What I saw with my two naked eyes through that night was an I saw, if I had known I would have gone home... I saw them rushed people in pain, psychological disturbed people, accident victims with blood dripping, I saw what I shouldn't have seen, the two doctors on call at the emergency units were kept busy all through the night, the next morning I left there and never to be admitted in an open ward again, I would rather pay anything to get a private ward, But in all I give it to God, then the docs...

Next time, prompt your boss (privately & with tact) when assignments are going to be due. You can even suggest or share a few things you have started doing to reduce the task. It is possible he/she likes to procrastinate, does not enjoy those tasks, has other strategic tasks, is overworked or is lazy.

This would prevent the blame coming to you and helps you to maintain a good relationship with your boss.

Hopefully, when you become a boss, you remember how you feel now and be more intentional towards doing such tasks faster and/or have integrity to own up that it's your mistake.

Goodluck.
