If those reading this are so gullible, I am not one of them.
AXA Mansard is an insurance/pension company and what business have they got with Machine learning and artificial intelligence?
I'm 85% sure your supposed friend is interning in their sales team and he's lying.
Note : I am not saying there's no IT Dept but there's nothing like machine learning and artificial intelligence in that insurance company as of now.
Cut the bullshit!

You’re not a smart person. The amount of data alone that financial service organizations produce should tell you why they need people in those roles.

Madam I feel for you honestly

The unfortunate thing is that he will cheat to his satisfaction and waste money he should be spending on his kids while taking care of side chics and you will be running from pillar to post borrowing money for him thinking he is under a curse until he gets tired in old age or goes bankrupt and then, you will welcome him back with open arms and thank God for bringing your husband back to you and making you the winner in the end.

Religion is really turning people's brains to mushroom in Nigeria.

The bolded is so true. They will now take 40 years anniversary picture, and people will use them as an example of a good marriage.

No one will know that it was 40 years of suffer and dry fasting, spent fighting off imaginary enemies for the woman.

Family / Re: How Do I Love The Child As Mine by CanadianNaija: 8:49am On Dec 26, 2019
Massey27:


Thank you so much..we are no longer friends with the man and his family. When hubby learnt it was his friend that blew the whistle and went to tell my family, he almost had a heart attack. He couldn't believe it. Not until he listened to the recordings my brothers made anytime he called them.

You should be thanking this friend, if not how would you have known? Also, you seem to have absolved your husband who broke his vow, it’s his friend that is now you people’s common enemy.

As for the child, your irresponsible horse-band should own up to the result of his actions. He can do a DNA test if he wants, but that child has a father and shouldn’t be denied that.

You on the other hand don’t have to love this child and that doesn’t make you a bad person, he’ll just be a physical reminder of your husband‘s infidelity. But don’t be the typical evil stepmother either, as the child is innocent of the circumstances surrounding his birth.

Nigeria greatest problem is that 13 Boeing 747 cargo planes come to Nigeria daily, offloading cargo, then went back empty. Sometimes, they have to use sandbags to stabilize the aircrafts.

5 out of every 6 ships that berth in Nigeria return to their base empty. The only one which leaves with cargo is filled with charcoal, gypsum salt & sesame seeds.

A country of 200m people eating, sleeping, making calls, voting for mercy of BBNaija and contributing almost nothing to the world. All we do is drill the oil, sell it & bank the money, loot 60%, share 40% of the proceeds. Even the oil is drilled for us by foreign companies.

Guys please let's be careful with our phone plan selection. Especially when it comes to data overage and long distance charges. A friend just got a monthly phone bill of $800. I am sure he is in severe pain.

He should call and tell them he didn’t know that they automatically activated long distance calling, and continued use of data after exhaustion for him.

He should express his displeasure well, and threaten to move to another service provider.
They will most probably reduce it for him, and turn off overages and other things that may not be in his plan. It happened to me, and they reduced the amount...mine wasn’t upto that amount sha.

victorian:






Chai! Some people sef!

Were u there when he paid her bride price?

It was introduction they did, not traditional marriage. Chioma is still Miss Rowland. She's only entitled to Davido's heart and not his wealth. She's not his legal wife yet. Even traditional marriage does not make her the legal wife unless court marriage is involved.

Even the traditional marriage u said they did, which we all know is Introduction. I have never seen igbo brides go through such quiet and parlour kind of traditional marriage, no matter how poor the girl or guy is. I have never seen such parlour kind of traditional marriage before. So quit lying and deceiving Chioma she's married. In the real fact she's not married but a babymama.

So get your facts right, before spewing all these lies online.

Don't confuse the facts here.

Were you there to determine that it was introduction? Are they owing the bride price to you? Davido has said he paid brideprice on one of his insta posts, so why are you so bothered with whether he threw party afterwards or not?

People have mentioned here that traditional marriage in Igbo culture is payment of bride price and fulfilling the list, anything else afterwards is just party.

You’re not even Igbo, why do you disregard someone else’s culture? What’s your stake in their marriage?

By the way traditional marriage is legally recognized under customary law, don’t be so proudly ignorant in public.

Once two families sit together, wedding is done? Can you listen to yourself? Is she Mrs Adeleke now or still Miss Rowland?
Igbos sit in the parlour to do weddings?
Wedding is done in Igboland without paying dowry and traditional wedding?
Traditional wedding is the official handing over your children in people's presence, Court wedding makes you officially entitled to your spouse's properties.
If you do engagement but not Court, you are not entitled yet, this is 2019 but not 1950.
Davido will do wedding without big party?
Please where are you from?

You're misinformed. In igbo culture paying your bride price is the marriage. It can be done under tree, in the parlor, all it takes is for both kinsmen exchange what they should, and agree.
If you decide to have a ceremony afterwards for show that's your perogative. Davido has paid her brideprice, so she is his wife by customary law which is recognized in Nigeria.

You don't even have to be present to be married traditionally, as long as the elders collect and agree that's all.
Just because it has become trendy to change numerous outfits doesn't mean you're not married if you don't celebrate afterwards.

Although from what he said on here, his brother has been fairly generous. He sponsored them in school and gave the first born a car and some cash. Some people I know won't find you a job and won't still give you the cash.

My dad too was very liberal. There was a time I counted up to 22 people living in our home. The nuclear family was only 4. There was a maximum of 2 househelps. The rest were relations. The house usually swelled up during third term holiday. The burden on my mum was too much but she coped. I did not have a room in our house (6 big bedrooms) until I was 16. I could sleep in any room I wanted to though except the househelps grin grin grin grin

Many of my dad's relations owe their success to him. He paid over $10,000 to a university in the States so that his younger brother could gain admission after being refused 4 times by the American embassy. That was in 1983. His younger brother (actually half brother from his father's last wife) helped no one at all get into the States. He was also unappreciative of my father's kindness. My father even borrowed $2,800 to send to him at a time and till his younger brother death in 2017 or so, he only repaid a fraction of the money.

When his younger brother came home in 2007, he came to our family house in Ondo. He gave my mum N10,000, gave my dad 20,000. This was in the morning and he left. My dad decided to make pounded yam, prepare nice soup with bush meat. His brother never came back angry angry angry angry angry angry

Shebi the whole point of offering help to family is so that everybody will stand, and the family will be progressive.

If you're not lucky in that regard and have a family that will rather be fed than learn to fish then you'll be burdened forever...the people that my dad helped that made something of themselves are the suppossed outsiders, his own siblings felt like they had a safety net to fall back on, and never took anything serious.

Op can hide under we want his love all he wants, but when you lead with "my rich brother" "doesn't care" "me me me", all i see is selfishness.

The writer of this post johnmba is writing based on his sojourn in Canada. I'm sure there is a deluge of people on his neck everyday asking him for money from Nigeria.

He is probably in the same position as your brother. It isn't easy.

Anyway, that said, it is your duty to make yourself successful and not your brother. That is your motto. Once you feel he isn't keen on helping, then consider that you're on your own. Stop this whingeing and whining and triple your hustle. Pretend he doesn't exist and move on (Read Ecclesiastes 3:6)

Lol...On the contrary, I don’t have a parasitic family o.
Everyone in my family sorts themselves out, and we plenty. We also come together to help with the parents when we need to, not leaving it for one person.

But I have seen my father experience being bread winner, and he taught us to be the way we are.
My father sacrificed his life for his extended family, and until now that he’s retired and we are all adults them never still stand, they still shamelessly ask him for money.

Over the years, money for business, single handedly carrying all family burial so that his colleagues won’t be embarrassed when they attend, paying off his sisters dowry because they don’t care that their parents are being embarrassed in kinsmen meetings, building house and being told after that the land cant go to a sixth son because it’s on prime location.

It just led to jealousy and bitterness from their side, hatred for my mum, accusations that she used jazz to hold their brother, even though he had all of them on payroll from day 1 of marrying her, then it changed that he did blood money so that only him will have money in the family. Where when my father tells you the story of how he got an education after the war, you’ll pity him and wonder what his parents were doing at the time.

Poor woman constantly dealt with forgoing needs because there was one more person that needed help, and it never stopped. Old man still used from his gratuity to send two of his brother’s sons abroad and one of them has come back now and back in same position. It never ends.

I pity people that marry into poor homes, poverty mentality is a disease that doesn’t have a cure when you have entitled in-laws, so this Op forming fake love is just lying.

Very bitter, and he’s covering it up by saying he’s not concerned about the money, but is quick to list out all the things the brother should be capable of doing.

Mentioning big money, but pointing out that the brother only send money once or twice a year.

I’m a family of 7 children if they all take turns to send money on a month by month basis shouldn’t it be twice a year?

He talk about wanting their brother back all he wants, but his post states the true state of his mind and thought towards the brother.

From the way you sound, it seems you've got siblings that you're suppose to assist financially and you're not and now you're seeking a justification for your actions, I get what the op is saying because am right at that spot right now, there's nothing wrong in helping your siblings get on their feet when you get on yours first, its just life.
About his wife, that one is a discussion for another day, because some women ehhh!!! Make God just airpus

From your post and how affected you are by this I guess you’re one of those parasites that suck on the relatives?

Stop being lazy, go and make your own luck...whatever rich relative you’re jealous of right now will be more inclined to help if they see that you’re making an effort.

How did you come about the bolded? Who told you he never applied, who told you his brother can't help him secure his a job even if though he is in management cadre? So a top management person in shell cannot even secure a contract job in shell? Really? Is that how seriously they take merit in Nigeria? Toh let me tell you, in this country you live in, many people will suffer for most of their lives if not all of it because they don't have a hand to raise him. I remember my foolish uncle, a top government functionary that spent many years in service without securing a job for his own blood children. According to him, nobody helped him to get there so he owes nobody anything Based on the stuff I read here, I believe the children should also tell themselves nobody owes them anything. Nonsense, the people that hold onto that silly school of thought are swimming in an ocean of ignorance, that you suffered to make it does not mean everyone around you has to go through same. I passed my uncle the other day, he was standing by the roadside stranded, I could not believe my eyes. I drove past him with my eyes the other way. The guy has nothing!

Hopefully you don’t have a reading disability, else you would have seen where I wrote that if it’s contract work then that another thing.

The issue is what do we do to bring him close as a brother. It hurts when you cannot relate with your brother but you see him relating well with others.

The way you write about him here says otherwise. I wouldn't want to relate with you either if i had a sibling like you.

He didn't deprive himself of anything? Do you hear yourself? See your mindset, are you in his pocket?

Your brother can not get you into Shell, whether he works there or not.
I know for a fact how rigorous their recruitment process is, especially if it is for a fulltime position.
There're companies that hire contract staff for Shell and others, that one is another matter.

If you finished within the age range for their engineering graduate trainee program why didn't you apply? Was your grade good? Did you pass the aptitude test, and their accessment day?
Their fulltime recruitment is centralized and done from out of country.

It's not a one man's business, you hear that he's helping people what kind of help? Do you know? Have you bothered to ask him?

You seem misinformed, you were all given the same opportunity i don't know why you seem so resentful and envious of him.
Shell is one company at least that you can get into on merit, people without connection do it everyday, it's not your brother's fault that you're an engineer that works in a hospital.
