It could be one of the conditions given to the driver by his jazzman.
Don't underestimate how diabolical and superstitious some people can be. Perhaps he was given something to make him disappear (?) in case of an accident and a woman in the front seat is the antidote.

Hahaha

LeopardX:
He just wants attention.
Can you imagine?
"throughout my life"
As if he died yesterday.

Hahahaha

Maybe it is his ghost we are conversing with.

Satan66:
So many things wrong with our society due to feminism
What right does a woman have to sit at the front?
Throughout my life, My father never allowed my mom sit at the front.
Nonsense

What happens in your home doesn't have to necessarily spill to the society.

Did the driver give a reason for the policy?

And are the commuters aware prior to payment?

DonGtoG1:
Incompatible union.

If all the husband's allegations are true (which I suspect), the wife is not compatible with anyone.

The husband should shine his eyes for the next wife.

*Comparative Analysis Between Wives of Today and Those of Yesterday:*


1). *Yesterday's Wives* :
Welcome my husband, hope the office was not stressful., your favorite food is ready, let me lead you to the bathroom first, then you take your dinner, you look so tired, am sure you'll be okay after taking your dinner, welcome my one and only.

*Today's Wives*:
Please don't put unnecessary pressure on me, you can go to the fridge pick up the stew, microwave it and boil the remaining rice, I am your wife and not your cook.

2). *Yesterday's Wives*:
Darling stop thinking about our lack of money. It's going to be temporary. God will see us through and we are going to come out of it stronger. After all, we can still feed ourselves and the children. We need to give the Almighty that glory. I am with you through thick and thin, my husband, the owner of my dowry.

*Today's Wives*:
Look I am sick and tired of living in this abject poverty with you. Why did you bring me to your house when you know that you are not ready for marriage? Every day is one complaint or the other. Are you the Complainant General of Nigeria. We don't have cars, our house is Face me and slap you, when your mates are in GRAs. Look if you don't find solutions to your problems, you will come back and not find me in this your rotten house.

3). *Yesterday's Wives*:
My husband, we only have 2 children, don't you think we should have more. You know children are gifts and mercies from God. And the more the merrier.

*Today's Wives*:
Look am sick and tired of this marriage. You won't allow me to rest by your constant urge to have more children. I am okay with our two children. I can't allow you to spoil my figure 8 by bearing another 4 children. You are so wicked that I feel you want to spoil my psychedelic looks. If you dare force me, I will sue you for rape.

4). *Yesterday's Wives*:
My husband, take heart and don't worry. I shall go with you to Zaria. Your being transferred from the glitterati of Abuja to Zaria might be a blessing in disguise. We shall take the advantage of the educational institutions to advance our education. Some disappointments could be a blessing.

*Today's Wives*:
Me I can't follow you to Zaria o. God forbid bad thing. From Abuja to Zaria? I can't cope with such a demotion. To start living in a village? You had better look for another wife. I can't live in a city without silver birds, Amigo Supermarket or Dunes

5) *Yesterday's Wives*:
My husband, I have enough clothes. This N30.000 you are giving me, pls keep it and save for a rainy day.

*Today's Wives*:
Why are you so stingy? Do you have super glue in your palms?What an insult. What kind of shopping do you want me to do with N50.000?What can I buy? Is it Swiss lace or Dubai gold. I am disappointed in you. Your mates are giving their wives $5000 to shop, here you are humiliating me with naira. I don't blame you. It is because I refused to marry Chief Antonio that's why you are messing up with me.

*Yesterday's wives*
Darling our children will resume next week, I have bought new bags and sandals for them, I have also kept some money for their text books, may God bless u for their tuition fees.

*Today's wives*
Your children are resuming next week, I don't want to hear story of no money o, they will change their school bags, sandals, water bottles etc and their textbooks, make sure the money is completed this time o, afterall they bear your surname not mine.


FEEL FREE TO ADD YOURS.

My brother, the choice is yours.

Marry a yesterday's wife.

Case closed.

blackpanda:
[s][/s]

first of all this has nothing to do with the topic

secondly converting naira to dollar is very silly cos we dont spend US dollars in nigeria

Stick to the topic pls

Another one is here.

How does it not tie into the equation?

You get sense so?

We don't spend dollars in Nigeria like we don't incur cost in dollars.

tactius:
The argument does not make sense because we import over 80 percent of fuel into this country

And because our refining capacity is low


And why is it low? Because low prices due to.fuel subsidy.

The OP is assuming we have refining capacity enough to supply 60% of our need, when we have enough to supply ten percent. We import the rest.

And we are throwing away trillions of naira on a corruption ridden subsidy regime that he complains about yet expects the government to maintain?

Look guys, I hate saying this. God knows I wish fuel was 50 naira per liter. But thanks to subsidy, investment is not flowing into the country to build new refineries because no one is going to sell at a price below production costs.

And look, we are running out of money to even pay for the subsidy. With oil below the 140 USD we need it to be for a budget without borrowing, and with reports that we are cutting prices to sell our oil, where will we get the money.

Subsidizing fuel is wasting money. I will prefer to pay 200 per liter than pay the subsidy cabals for nothing

You prefer to pay N200/ liter than pay subsidy cabals for nothing

Sorry, you sound like someone being fed or has no responsibilities.

If Buhari has 10% of his acclaimed integrity, he would fish out the cabals and let us have peace.

Fuel hike + increased VAT = inflation in a country with more than 50% below poverty line.

Electricity is epileptic and we run gen almost 14hrs daily when we are at home. Imagine the amount incurred on a weekly basis.

Why?

Guest007:
So, why can't we give them the benefit of the doubt... could they not invest their money and have legitimate side hustle?

Why do we go straight to prostitution

Not ordinary prostitution

Highest level.

So only the women invest?

Even Desmond Elliot that mixed politics with his acting is not buying Benz and houses every minute.

Do I know and salute hard working ladies?

Yes.

But these actresses, there is a lot they are acting behind the scenes.

UjSizzle:
It's a long read but bear with me.

On Sunday the 21st of January, I was at Coldstone creamery Admiralty way Lekki with my girlfriends between 12pm and 5pm. We were the only customers seated there when we went to get ice creams. Our bags were left on the chairs we occupied. When we got back, my bag was gone.

We alerted the staff to narrate the incident and told them we saw one of their staff heading towards our sitting area while we were getting ice cream. They found said staff but he denied taking any bag. Considering where the bag was kept, you’d have to be at our table to see it.
1. First he said he came to clean our table but saw a bag and concluded the customers were still around.
2. Then he changed his story saying he never came near our table but went to clean other tables. How could he have gone to clean already
clean, unoccupied tables? No other customers were using the sitting area.
3. Afterwards he said he came to pack the cups on the table, but we didn’t have any cups on the table prior to getting our ice creams.

I inquired about the security detail I always find in their shops and was told they only stay at the door. I know that’s not true.

Then we asked to see their CCTV footage. The stories became weird at this point.
1. First the lady in charge, Kera said the cameras cover only the cash point. Odd, I was staring at one that had a clear view of the stairs and our seats.
2. When we pointed that out she said they had no access to view footages and only the head office (at Saka, VI) could do that. She claimed to have called them and was told the IT unit weren't working on Sunday. I still don't understand how that works.
3. Shortly after another female staff (didn't get her name) came to apologise for the theft and assured us the video footage was being watched beginning when we came into the establishment. We asked if we could view it too and was told it was ‘confidential’. Even banks allow customers with grievances view their CCTV footage. So we told her to start at 2pm instead of 12pm.

Again, Kera who claimed the videos could only be viewed from the HQ came back and we asked her if she found anything. She asked who’d given us that information and we pointed to her colleague, who came back to deny what she said about the viewing. The whole thing became suspicious like these people were hiding something.

We told them the police would get involved and the story would be published online. It’s increasingly impossible to trust companies these days.
Kera pleaded we give her till Monday to give feedback on the video.

By 3pm on Monday she called me to say, “I’m sorry but the camera wasn't recording anything. We found out the memory crashed.”

It took them 7hrs (between 8am and 3pm) to ascertain the memory crashed and their CCTV wasn’t recording a thing on Sunday. Are they saying we can’t even be assured of customer safety in their premises; is that how little we mean to them? I wonder if the story would be the same if someone had robbed them.

My friend even sent a message to their Instagram account, saying if a response wasn’t given we’d make this issue public, and they promised to forward the case to their customer service unit and an agent will contact me. They requested for and received my number and email address on Monday 22/01/18 night and I still haven't been contacted.

I took the case to Maroko police station on Tuesday 23/01/18 and gave a statement. The manager of Admiralty branch was issued an invitation by the DPO. Someone named Chuks confirmed receipt of the IV, yet they never showed up.

My lawyer wrote to their head office on Wednesday detailing the issue, actions taken and further steps we’ll take. Still, we received no feedback from them. I've been informed they were advised not to comment on the matter at the branch. Classic.

Everything so far feels like an elaborate cover up by a company with something to hide. All we asked for was a view of their cctv footage to see what really happened. All we’ve got so far are suspicious stories. It's so disheartening that they have handled this case like it's nothing. I have valuable items I consider priceless in that tote bag and Coldstone Creamery (Eat N’ Go ltd) is behaving like it’s a non-issue. What’s stopping me from suspecting this might be a regular occurrence where customers mysteriously lose items and the company hides behind a liability clause?

It's been a very frustrating week, and still I've been the only thing holding back my friends from spilling this story online before now because I wanted a clean resolution. I've been very civil; going through the appropriate channels to get this resolved but the company has proven it prefers to play dirty by feeding us lies and frustrating our efforts. Perhaps I’ll learn to be more dramatic and cause a scene in the future.

Getting this kind of treatment from a favourite brand is extremely disappointing. You can do better than this.

How did this end?

Did you get your bag back?

SageMK:
Your title should read —

Conversation between two brainless ìdiots.

Hahahaha

African butter.

This is for ladies who has no selling point.

How can she dress like a cheap hooker?

YoungAncient1:
a makeup/jewelry free home.
I was kidding actually

The son's choice.

Shows that he didn't believe in their no-jewelry stance either.

Oh no!

Serious gridlock tomorrow.

Happy Easter to you and family sir.

YoungAncient1:
Obviously his daughter inlaw didnt grow up in his kind of home.

Which is?

eyinjuege:
Ordinary 7 months pregnant? Is she still not bending down and touching her toes in her condition to receive the D?
How many minutes will it take to clean the broken pieces of glass mirror off the floor?
Did any Dr advice her not to bend down at all?
I sympathise with pregnant women, as I know how difficult it is to be pregnant, but that's not an excuse to start thinking stupidly even after delivery(I know the hormones can mess up some people's brain cells, but it normally goes back to normal after birth).
She's just trying to create a problem where there is none, and believe you me its joblessness that causes this type of thinking.
OP, does your wife work?
She should see women who's inlaws are giving them stress, and she would be grateful and do thanksgiving that her own MIL just asked her to clean up after herself.
Imagine if she was working, will she say she will never bend down at work for whatever reason? Is it even possible she never bends down at all in her own home?
Pregnancy is not a disease jare, but I understand it's a very stressful and difficult period.
However, old age is also a difficult time where all your bones ache, and all your joints are riddled with arthritis causing constant pain.
Pregnant or not, I won't allow my own mother sweep a mirror I broke off the floor, and I definitely won't take it personal if she asks me to sweep it so the shards dont cut my feet.

A man will grunt while carrying 12.5kg cylinder while lifting a 60kg woman like paper to his bed.

Whether she bent down to collect D or not is inconsequential.

I guess we look at things differently.

I will never allow a 7mth old pregnant woman sweep where I am irrespective of the story.

UnFunmi:
Of all the people on this thread, you are the first to look at it from the wife's perspective. That's impressive.

My view is the wife's anger has to do with the fact that she was made to go through that in such conditions when the mother in law could have easily helped. He shouldn't invalidate his wife feelings by taking his Mom side. If possible, he should help her make peace with that incident and let his mom know in a peaceful way.

Thanks.

I don't think he should tell his mom though.

Just talk to the wife.

ikennamadu1:
What's your point.... You've just showed you hate the woman too...

Hate which woman

Don't remind us about work joor.

SheldonCooper:
See them Lagos lookers

More like Sapele lookers.

If a suckling babe knows to withdraw from fire after feeling the heat, why should we worry about this madam?

helinues:
Or are you guilty?

Of?

crackhaus:
Yes I am oo. That man vs woman argument is not what I want to have anymore with you or anyone on nl for that matter.

Been there, done that.

I am here briefly...

Hopefully!

Opened my laptop for something else and branched here.

jombo21:
Thanks alot dear.

*hugs*

Ishilove:
I'm an advocate to factory resetting flogging, but the flogging should go hand in hand with counseling. You flog in part, counsel in part. You should also know where to draw the line when using the cane. So many of us were abused as kids so we see excessive flogging as discipline.

There's a difference between disciplinary flogging and downright abuse. Finding the thin line is where it becomes dicey.

You have said it all.

Foolish mom.

She kept alcohol within the girl's reach.

A simple, 'colour blue is for mommy or whoever drinks and colour red is for you' would solve the problem.

Instead she runs to social media like we would be the ones to collect the drink from the daughter.

I am sure it happens a lot in homes with kids yet they don't head to SM.

How do you know they are lying?

Very honest and fair man.

Kudos to him.

@Google, this too shall pass

Mizwisdom:
The sacrifice a mother will make for you is different from what a mother in law will ever do. If your wife was her own daughter, she will sweep those broken bottles for her but as na mother in law, I don't expect anything more than what she did. Let your wife take heart

Very true.

jombo21:
well, let me drop my sisters part. while going back home after our traditional marriage rite 3years ago, i was chatting with my sis on how the even went, i told her that my in-laws were so hash on me that i was billed a total of 500k, my younger sis on reading this exclamated jokingly that if i ve to pay such amount then when she(my sis) is getting married hers will be 1m. My wife saw the chat and never said anything about it until last week when she spewed it out angrily that she will have been nursing it in her mind and that she will never forgive my sis for comparing herself to her.
I was dazed at this, because i cant even remember if i had such chat. Am so in shock about this, just like someone said above, i never knew my wife have been faking affection with my family over the years.

Oh brother, I knew I would be humoured , thanks.

Now, your wife NEEDS to grow up faster than I would say Jack Robinson.

She is immature, petty and unwise.

Your sister's response is actually very friendly and instead of the natural instinct to side with you, stood with your wife and supported her in-laws.

That said, you knew her before you married her, talk to her where she understands (in the living room, ozza room, prayer room, bedroom, eating room etc.) and tell her she needs to grow up.

She has a daughter to raise and I am sure she wants her to be of good behaviour.

CHoccolaTE:
Its very nice to see the way you are very very objective and always seeing things from objective point of view
In all your posts
Wow, such objectivity

So nice


By the way I didn't say not earning equals disrespect. Everything I write here surely doesn't apply to every single man on earth, I don't have to keep repeating 'some men' or 'most men' in every post about men for people to know this.

I didn't say earning equals disrespect. Some men disrespect their wives because they don't earn anything or don't provide anything. Its a very common thing in Nigeria.

Thank you

I very much agree that most men wouldn't respect their wives if they are not earning.
