rockstarB: 1) The course I was given to study in school. I never hear about that course before until I was given admission to study it. As I no get choice I studied it rather than stay home. Am not really happy about it because it's not my passion and I feel maybe I'd have gotten a good job if I studied something better. 2)its so sad thinking about my past relationships. 3)Business isn't moving because of Corona, customers dey owe me money 4)Corona dey delay my immigration progress, its really sad. 5)No good prospective man to marry. I'm really a fan of marriage. What else? Life itself is a struggle. I've been dealing with consistent headache lately. But suicide isn't the answer
I will be back.
I am back
1. What do you about it? Do you want to back to school on a part-time basis? Or do you want to acquire additional knowledge that will give you the leverage to move to what you want? Or do you want to find passion in what you do? I listened to a TedX talk a while back and it might be of help ( I did not agree with everything in it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MBaFL7sCb8 What is your purpose? What you want to do outside your work or education? What do you need to achieve it? You can achieve anything you have in mind to if you work at it.
2. Take the lessons and move on
3. Sorry, it is everyone. Are you looking at ways to diversify or modify your business to be relevant post-COVID?
4. You have your hands in many stuffs. What is paramount? What makes your heart beat? What is the thing people are almost sure will make you tick?
5. I like fans of marriage . When you say 'no good prospective man, what do you mean?' What are the qualities you are looking for in a prospective husband and father of your children? Do you want to share here?
@Headache: You have gotten good advises as regards drinking water, eating fruits and checking your BP. In addition you are worried about too many things which can also produce stress (emotional and mental) which can also affect you physically.
Take it easy, play music and dance naked in front of your mirror.
Acidosis: You can call her "my in-law". It's not like you meet her or relate with her everyday. My brother in-law who is 15 years older calls me "my in-law".
There are people you wouldn't even need to mention their names especially when you do not relate often.
I call my sister in-law "iyawo." Never had reasons to call her by her name. I call some of my friends and cousins Baba, boss, etc., including those that are 10 years younger. In return, the younger ones (cousins) call me "Uncle" even though I'm not their Uncle in the literal sense.
Gbam!
How did we get to the stage we debate these things?
JourneytoEL: we wanted to do a meeting and the leader refused to call him,saying he would rather call his wife because she is the head of the home because she feeds him
naija4life247: Child Abuse is Oyinbo's phrase of encouraging indiscipline among toddlers. If Bobrisky parents had use igbati, ifoti, iforun, igbaju, igbati, igbarun, igbadi, iladi and other models of brain resetting slaps as at when due, we won't have a nuisance like that in our society like these useless White pigs.
Imagine going home, to tell your parents that you are gay. Two to three ifotis and igbajus, your brain will reset.
@everything including the hormones will go back to default configuration.
Leece: My 50 Yrs Old Boss Shows A Lot Of Cleavage When We Meet, What Could She Want?
So I got this job around 2019 and I noticed from the very day I went for my interview, there was this woman who happened to be very lenient with me and cautioned others when they asked me tough question. All she did saved me from disgracing myself in front of 5 panelist. After the interview I waited till they closed just so i could say thank you.
When she came out around 7 pm she was more elegant and had this carriage that suits her age. I approached her and she recognized me immediately she was happy to see me and I thanked her. As I was about to leave she offered me a ride and being a very good conversationist that I am, I began to talk and she became very free with me. She told me a lot about her husband and his drinking addiction and how he neglected her sexual needs. I tried comforting her with words and ended by saying she is 50 na her libido should be dead by now, she didn't take offence but replied and said I cant handle her if we ever get down.
Fast forward to when I resumed, I realized she was the CFO of the organisation, now fear don catch me. I couldn't even look her in the eye to start a conversation. I think she noticed and she called me to her office and was laughing at me and later told me she would like us to keep talking the way we did yesterday cause she doesn't have much friends.
There was this day she was dancing to an old Fuji song in the office, her office is sound proof moreover it was already past office hours, i went to say goodbye, she called me to come in and didn't let me leave. I thought to myself another free ride.
She jumped up at a point and had a nip slip, i mean both breast were literally out. I just closed my eyes, she fixed it and was smiling at me. Since that time till now she has been showing massive cleavage anytime i'm around her. She has started calling me my dear and other staff are calling me omo mummy and they dont know what I am facing
Your boss wants to sleep with you alone or wants a party.
What do you want to do? 1. Resist her and look for another job? 2. Sleep with her and retain your job for as along as she is pleased with you? 3. Getting set up as you try to sleep with her?
Story sounds fake however, I have seen a man that upon 'blowing', married a 2nd wife.
That said, when did a 2nd wife become the best tool to work in a farm?
He didn't think of local laborers or buying machines?
The 2nd wife would have more kids (in addition) to the seven he had and plunge him into more poverty.
Gbenga is a very self-centered myopic husband and sees his wife as a tool. He is the type of man that would marry a young wife in his 50s because he has arrived and 'mummy' is now old school. He is a user and an ingrate.
Now, mummy wa (in Mr. Macaroni's voice) is a destroyer. It is a typical 'kaka keku ma je sese, afi asawadanu'. If I can't have it, nobody else will. It is their type that kills a man/woman that no longer wants them or destroy someone/something they can't have. Destroyers don't think the consequences of their actions.
A smarter woman would have thought how to get money for herself and kids or have the money without the new wife.
DaddyOpe: I got married to my wife 5 years ago. Before we got married, she dated a guy. We all stayed in the same area. I live here because it is close to my place of work. Her ex lives in the area. He does building contractor. While they were dating, I met my wife. I was able to convince her to date me. And since the guy was always travelling, I was able to get close to her. I think I won her finally after we had sex. Because that first day, I scattered her brain. She later left the guy. I proposed, she accepted and we got married.
I will say, at that time I got married to my wife, her ex and I were on the same level financially. But, recently, the guy has turned to something else. He does building for people overseas. People said the guy's work is good and he is always getting contracts. My wife said he had a 2.1 in Civil Engineering. He started selling cement. He is now a dangote cement distributor. He built a duplex at the junction of my street. He has 3 cars in the compound (he recently bought 1 car during this lockdown that people are saying no money oo). I and my wife do not have any car. I am still a tenant. We have to pass front of his house every day.
During this lockdown, my office has being delaying salaries. It has not being easy. I have had quarrels with my wife in the past but yesterday was the worst. During the quarrel, she said she regrets marrying me. That if she had ignored me and married her ex, she would have being living comfortably. I almost beat her up. Then she told me that this her ex paid her school fees in 300 and 400 level when she almost pulled out of school for lack of finance. She regrets paying him back by leaving him to marry me.
Since then, I have not being myself. I just created this account to express myself.
Up your sex skills (to keep scattering her brain) & be on the same financial level with her ex again.
JourneytoEL: Firstly, many rich women are not vocal because of security issues in the country. Piping low is key to enjoying a long life as a rich woman here. I have interacted with a good number of them and they share feministic views. Also,the major reason most women don't marry down is because most men tend to have esteem issues because their wives are richer. Although i have met two exceptional cases, one the man still rides his cab till date in the morning, goes to his state ministry office, and later in the evening rides his cab, while his wife is a super rich career woman driving a venza, yet they are very happy both in and out. the other, the wife is a successful lawyer, very humble and nice, while the hubby works closely with her,helps in the house with the kids if she has to travel, infact they are so close i initially thought they were both lawyers. Now, the man is been mocked in the street for being a "sissy man". A woman cannot be humble enough for a typical nigerian man with esteem issues. Even if you are lucky enough to get a man with a good esteem, his poor family and friends will keep taunting him for been a "sissy" till he changes. That's why women love to marry their class and above.
Just curious
Who are the people mocking this man as a sissy on the streets?
This is why a lot of exposure and intent is required when moving jobs.
Distance to home, flexibility, work hours, working conditions, ethics of employers, job description, promotion, workers welfare etc etc are things people do not consider while looking for/changing jobs.
For instance, a pay arise of N50k monthly for a job with longer working hours, longer distance to home or less flexibility might not be worth it.
In the case of the OP, the N20k increase is not worth the exposure to chemicals resulting to damage to his health and lack of structure where someone can suspend an employee on a whim without due process
Help for Victims of Domestic Abuse “Violence against women is a global public health problem of epidemic proportion, requiring urgent action,” says the World Health Organization. That organization estimates that almost 30 percent “of all women who have been in a relationship have experienced physical and/or sexual violence” by their partner. And a UN report estimates that in one recent year, 137 women died each day around the world at the hands of their partner or another family member. *
Statistics may reveal the magnitude of the problem of domestic abuse, but they cannot begin to describe the emotional and physical pain that each victim suffers.
Are you a victim of domestic abuse? Or do you know someone who is? If so, consider the following points from the Bible that can help.
Domestic abuse is not your fault What the Bible says: “Each of us will render an account for himself to God.”—Romans 14:12.
Remember this: Your abuser is responsible for his actions. If your partner blames you for the abuse he inflicts, he is wrong. Wives deserve to be loved, not abused.—Colossians 3:19. At times, an abuser’s actions may be influenced by a personality disorder, his family background, or the misuse of alcohol. Even so, he is accountable to God for the way he treats you. And he is responsible to do what it takes to change his actions.
Help is available What the Bible says: “There is accomplishment through many advisers.”—Proverbs 15:22.
Remember this: If you feel unsafe or do not know what to do, others can help. Why may you need help from others? Domestic abuse is a complex situation. When deciding how to deal with it, you may struggle to weigh factors that seem to compete with each other, such as: a. Your personal safety b. The well-being of your children c. Your financial situation d. Your love for your partner e. A desire to salvage the relationship if your partner changes his actions
Naturally, you may feel confused and overwhelmed. Who can you turn to for help?. A trusted friend or family member may be able to provide practical and emotional support. Talking to someone who cares for you can make a big difference. Hotlines for victims of domestic violence may offer immediate support. Those who work these hotlines can help you develop a safety plan. If your partner acknowledges his problem and sincerely wants to change, a hotline may be able to help him with the first steps he needs to take. Other emergency resources can help you if you are in immediate danger. These resources may include doctors, nurses, or other trained professionals.
You are not alone What the Bible says: “Jehovah * is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit.”—Psalm 34:18.
Remember this: God promises to help you. Jehovah cares deeply about you. (1 Peter 5:7) He understands your deepest thoughts and emotions. He can comfort you through His Word, the Bible. And he invites you to pray to him. When you pray, you can ask him to give you the wisdom and strength you need to deal with your situation.—Isaiah 41:10.
Domestic abuse will end What the Bible says: “They will dwell, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one will make them afraid.”—Micah 4:4, footnote.
Remember this: The Bible promises a time in the near future when the home will be a peaceful place for everyone. Jehovah God has the only complete and permanent solution to all of our problems. The Bible promises: “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” (Revelation 21:4) At that time, even bad memories will fade away as they are replaced with good ones. (Isaiah 65:17) This is the peaceful future that the Bible offers you.
How you can help a victim Do you know someone who is a victim of domestic abuse? Even if you are not a trained professional, you may be able to help her. *
1. Listen empathetically. (James 1:19) Tell her that you are willing to listen, but do not push her to talk. Reassure her that you believe what she says.—Proverbs 20:5. One domestic violence resource says: “It will have taken a lot for her to talk to you. [Victims] are much more likely to cover up or downplay the abuse, rather than to make it up or exaggerate. You might find it hard to imagine someone you know could behave abusively. But the person who is abusive will probably show you a very different side [from] the side the victim sees.”
2. Speak encouragingly. (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Use your words to build her self-worth. Tell her that you care about her. Remind her of her good qualities. And encourage her to get help.
3. Offer support. (Proverbs 17:17) Give her practical assistance, such as watching her children for a short time or providing a meal. Verify that she has a safety plan, including a place to go in case of an emergency.
4. Build up her confidence in her ability to make her own decisions. (Galatians 6:5) Provide her with information, and talk about possible options. But do not tell her what she should do.
Tonylyte: I don't know if those of you teaching in private schools, like my humble self are facing the same difficulties like me too.
Are you getting paid by your employers during this lock down?
Our case is different here, ever since the lock down began we have not been paid even a dime or reached by our employer to know how we are coping during this tough period.
Those of us that understand better how things work, is it proper that way? What are your thoughts on this? Share your experiences too-those of us in private sectors.
@Bold:
Have you sent N4 text or 1 min call to your employer to know how they are faring?
DallasJ: This lady is a very good wife. She should have carried the man as well with her other free hand. I am sure most Nigerian men would love to have her as a wife.
darfay: Are we just going to sit here and pretend this story isn't made up? No one earns that much in Nigeria especially 42million and I don't know of any bank paying #15m per year
N3.5m monthly is such a big deal?
What about when you hear of people earning N10m/month?
gaiusolayinka: A person who supports a particular belief or political system, especially an unpopular one, and speaks or writes in defence of it.
So brother Ravi gave his life to speaking and writing in defence of the Christian Faith, as this verse of scripture, "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect," 1 Peter 3:15
Lionessza6: Both situations are not desirable ; single parenthood & enduring a toxic relationship for the kids. They both come with their own risks & heartbreaks ,but I would still choose my own happiness and peace of mind over any family structure that makes me feel like a hostage. A happy mother is a caring . Both of you will have added responsibilities of taking care of your new homes & also looking after the emotional & financial health of the kids as individuals. Now ,what each of you chooses to teach the kid will play a big role in how they will see the world as adults.
It takes a lot for a woman single due to divorce to that happy, rounded mother her children needs.
Besides, you can't control what your husband decides to teach the child. For instance, an adulterous husband or abusive one can pass that trait to the children.
I would rather people look well well before getting married.
nairavsdollars: I have come come across several posts about women describing their first child as 'my womb opener' even after they have committed several abortions before settling down and giving birth. With that, can the first child still be described as the womb opener?
Were you there during the abortion sessions?
Or were you the doctor?
Question: can a woman who have committed abortion before refer to her 1st live child as womb opener?
