kelechiMarie: @bellong i wanna try out this new diet too but there are a few questions. I'm buying my spinach at the local market do you know it's local name (not sure if it's green or shoko) if i'm using green tea must i add sugar?(i cant imagine green tea and sugar aargh) for the steak and salami can i also use other meat parts like kidney? Lastly, who knows where i can get spring onions and lemons to buy in lagos? Thanks
Hi
Spinach is Shoko
I used liver as a replacement for salami and steak.
Malams who sell carrots and cabbage or salad ingredients should have spring onions.
cococandy: See her mouth. So the late wife who was good isn't a Nigerian? Or she's telling us she's a bad lady herself since she's Nigerian. So she believes the foreign woman does not like property? Ignorance at its peak
Xtupid senseless talk. Some ladies are pretty annoying.
If she was a young lady, I would say she's just talking
I am ashamed such statements came from your mouths.
Mama: you are a Nigerian woman who gave birth to Nigerian women. You said yourself that your first DIL a Nigerian was wonderful. Are you a terrible wide to your husband? Did you drag properties with his family? Is This a case of all the women are bad except yourself and your family? Are your married daughters same way? Did you think Lara would have married your son If he had no money?
Cousin: you said Nigerian in-laws (men & women) are terrible; are you a terrible in-law? Do you torment your daughters family?
The same Nigerians who believe in your son, campaigned for him under the rain and sun and voted for him have suddenly become evil.
Lumpyy: Chai......see the number of pages wasted on you said this i mean that,haba,i no longer enjoy family section bcause of this fights.must everything be about you?state ur opinion on the matter and quit giving us headache,i had to scroll past several pages!!!!!
Immaangel: After marriage women are expected to make all the adjustments and changes. Ladies, here are 6 things you should never do for your man 1. Ignore Your Dreams Just because he wants you to spend time with him or be around him always, should not make you feel guilty into turning down that big promotion or the chance to go for thyuat prestigious conference abroad. He should never ask you to make a choice between your dreams and him. There should always be a common ground to work on. Ask yourself, would you be happy in a relationship where you have to give up your hard-earned dreams? If he loves you, he will understand that your dreams and career are as important as his. 2. Modify your values All of us have our own set of moral values and principles that we believe in. These values form our identity and individuality to a good extent. Never try to change your morals just because your man wants you to. Even if you two don’t share common values, he should always respect yours, rather than change them. This is not just about moral values; it is also about religion and beliefs. Such things cannot and should not ever be changed just because someone else wants you to do so. 3. Change Your Look woman should never change her appearance or the way she looks only because her man desires so. Subtle changes are acceptable, like dressing and styling ones. But if he wants you to go for surgeries to change certain aspect of your appearance then never agree to it. He should admire your natural beauty and not work towards changing it. Just because he doesn’t like the way your nose looks or if he finds your ears too pointy, it should not guilt-trip you into going for something as drastic as a surgery. 4. Sacrifice your personal space Even your family and friends need your time and attention, and this is something even you enjoy, right? So, never sacrifice your personal space and time that you should be spending with them just because he wants you to. Try to divide it and strike a balance. Just because you are in a relationship does not mean that you do not need anyone else apart from him. And, he should understand and respect that. 5. Forget Who You Are Never try to act what you are not. Do not show that you are less intelligent than him just to boost his ego or only because it will make him happy. Men like independent women, so acting stupid is not going to help at all. Also, you should not change your likes and dislikes for him. These things make you unique. So, do not lose your individuality and identity for a man. At least, not when you are being forced to do so 6. Handing over the reins Never give him the access to be in control of you. No matter how much you love him, the decisions should always be mutual. He should never make the final decision of what you should and shouldn’t do. Always discuss with him, but make your decision keeping your own lifestyles and choices in mind. Ladies, keep these things in mind. There are certain aspects of your personality that you should not change for a man, even when you are in love. If you are not true to yourself, you can never be true to your relationship!
@OP:
Goodday
These points should be settled before courtship
1. Your husband to be should be aware of your dreams before marriage and you both must agree with one another and be ready to align your dreams and aspirations. However, some dreams might be kept on a back burner till it is convenient to fulfill them. Some dreams might never the fulfilled either. Just as you shouldn't ignore your dreams for your husband, you should not ignore your husband for your dreams. Prioritizing properly in very important. Your husband also wanting to spend time with you is a symbol of love.
2. Modify your values: you shouldn't modify/change your core values. However your husband's personality especially his weaknesses would shape your values. It is called compromise .
3. Your husband should be pleased with your appearance before saying I do. The wife should also ensures she tries to maintain What the man loved initially. I know the lines are blurred and it is easier said than done.
4. It would be hard for a non-abusive husband to infringe on your personal space. You go to work/church/make your hair/one or two parties/visit your family/chat with your friends alone So How would he infringe on your space? I think the issue is more of couples not having ample time for each other. You actually send more time apart than together. It would be unwise for a wife to send the little time they should be together always galvanting.
5. As I said, you should know and study your man during courtship. Does he like a stupid woman? Intelligent one? Demi-semi intelligent? If you did your due diligence, This should up come up at all.
6. I also believe decisions should be mutual even though you let the person with the expertise make the decisions when There is conflict. It is also not possible for you to make devisions unilaterally even when it seems to concern you alone.
With proper courtship and genuine love from bothparties, these issues should not even crop up.
Also you seem to be ttalking from a defensive point of view towards marriage: you are anticipating battle ahead already.
pickabeau1: University of Califonia San Diego (UCSD) students undressed in protest of public exposure laws and the sexualization of female nipples on Library Walk during the Free the Nipple event on Wednesday.
UCSD alumna and event organizer Anni Ma explained to the UCSD Guardian that the existing laws propagate injustice.
“When I saw a covered-up nipple that protruded out from a woman’s shirt and people making fun of it, I felt that it was unfair that women [aren’t] able to walk around without a bra and be comfortable,” Ma said. “Then, I started to wonder why I can’t walk around without a shirt when men can do that.”
The event began with Ma announcing at the beginning of the event that she will “free” her br.easts, after which both male and female participants removed their shirts.
Thurgood Marshall College junior Aubrey Oxley said to the Guardian that society has been coercing women to be afraid of exposing their bodies and there is no reason for women to be afraid of what is natural.
“[As] women, we shouldn’t be uncomfortable with our bodies because these are the bodies that we have, these are the bodies that we are born with,” Oxley said. “There’s no reason for us to feel afraid other than just that what society has made us feel. We’ve been socialized to be afraid.”
Eleanor Roosevelt College freshman Annika Reno stated that, although participating in the event made her feel uncomfortable, it was a necessary act.
“It is uncomfortable for everyone, but it is something that needs to be done,” Reno said. “I think that the fact that it isn’t comfortable makes it even more compelling and revolutionary.”
It was not until the 1930s that men in the United States were legally allowed to publicly expose their nipples. Now, women across the nation are campaigning for legalization of the public exposure of female nipples, declaring that it should be considered a right.
According to Oxley, the movement began during the 2014 Topless March in New York City. Oxley discussed how the event instigated a change in people’s perceptions of female body parts.
“Men actually had to cover up their nipples, as well, but that law changed. If you look back into centuries, past women couldn’t even show their ankles because ankles were sexualized,” Oxley said. “We live in a very misogynic society where women’s bodies are hypersexualized, and this movement is the first step [away from that].”
Incoming UCSD Associated Students President Dominick Suvonnasupa told the Guardian that the event promotes gender equality in society.
“I believe that men and women should have equal opportunity and equal rights. It might seem trivial to a lot of people, but why is it that there’s inequality between guys and girls?” Suvonnasupa said. “Why can’t they be topless when they want to?”
The event concluded without any arrests or legal consequences after two hours. Ma said she believed the event was a success.
“When you know you’re right, it’s not scary,” Ma told the Guardian. “I want everyone to be comfortable with their bodies and to be comfortable enough to see other people being comfortable [with] their own bodies.”

6. Getting Something when and How I need it

Are the posters here saying at fifty, they do not want to have sex in their marriages anymore or they will not sleep with their wives (while still sleeping about outside)
@Topic: The wife should get a vibrator to do the job and involve her husband.
TV01: Nope, you clearly started it - I entered to offer my heartfelt congratulations on your anniversary, and merely teased you about the thread - the joke you yourself laughed at the last time I made it.
You then said I "lacked common sense", and followed that up by calling me dim-witted". Both of which I ignored 'cos I know how bristly you can be. You then jumped on another post of mine and had a dig at my wife/womenfolk.
Having said all that, I could have been more benign. I appreciate that you are rightly defensive of your spouse and don't appreciate him being ridiculed. I was also a little mean to you. But you you didn't do too badly in dealing with it.
You have been complimentary to my wife - and kids - and a kind word turns away anger. I unreservedly apologise for having a go at your hubby and being mean to you.
Have a good night
TV
Anytime I see a Good thing, I always compliment whenever I can.
lolababe331e: Gbam, he was simply pointing out that both sexes are guilty yet only women get labelled . That's not bashing but rather an objective assessment
Trust me, I am amazed.
The first might would have been between Frank and YourC.
