Sleeping by oneself in a hotel in Nigeria is now risky, particularly hotels in remote areas.

What I always suggest is to make intentional calls or videos and send to your loved ones; by intentional, I mean, make it very obvious to the front desk and staff of the hotel that your people know and aware of where exactly you are, you can even ask one of your peeps to say hello to the receptionist on the phone (who cares if your style is weird to them), say it openly that, that is your own way of ensuring your safety and security. That way, they will all think twice before doing anything nasty.

This makes sense.

Igbo is not really easy to learn... reason being that there are so many dialects in it...
The learner might get confused if an Anambra individual for example tried to teach him/her the language and he/she goes out to practice what he has learnt with Owerri, Ebonyi or even Enugu individual... The confusion of the learner might be epic

This is true.

Women should also learn to adapt if needed. I read in some other thread about a woman who swore she wouldn't use a kerosene stove when she ran out of gas. That's immature considering she isn't the one buying the gas. This is a time for wives to get creative in home management. Look for cheaper alternatives, and please contribute something, no matter how small, financially. May God help us all get through these hard times.

It's hard to trust comedians and skit makers. It may be a joke as usual!

I hope he is found sha

Exactly my first thought when I read the news.

Your wife is unreasonable and not a very good wife. In this economy, all hands must be on deck. My husband and I split the household expenses 50/50. Times have changed and an understanding woman should be able to roll with the punches.

Why are you asking? Are you buying? I have a brand new Samsung A31 that fell into water. It still works, but the touchscreen is not working. The crack is on the screen guard not the phone screen.

If you are sure your emotions will not interfere with your studies, then walk up to her and tell her how you feel in very plain terms. A mature and sensible girl will appreciate your forthright approach, especially if she shares your sentiments. A man who knows what he wants and goes for it will always be admired. If she turns you down, brush it off and move right along. Love can be a wonderful thing.

I lost my job last 2 months and its been a hard time getting a new job. That's besides the point. I asked this question for strictly married women who knows how to manage a home.

If u don't have an advice for me then please its best u keep quiet

I'm sorry about your job loss. N4,000 a week is quite small. I really can't think of how that can be stretched to feed 2 kids for 7 days in this economy. I hope God will open up a way for you to supplement your income soon. Meanwhile, you could try replacing your children's protein source with eggs. They might be cheaper than meat or fish. I'd suggest you buy one tuber of yam for each week and then cook rice with what's left. Better days are ahead by God's grace.

In addition to that, they show programmes and series that aired years ago, and they keep repeating them. There's been a lot if clamour for a boycott, but it never really works, partly because if big brother craze and premiership/championship matches. These days, I stick to Netflix.

My tailor's second son was exactly the same way. He neither crawled nor walked months after his first birthday. He just kept dragging his bottom on the ground. One fine day, he just stood up and within weeks he was walking. Your son will walk. He's just late getting started. Allow him develop his milestones at his own pace.

May God comfort her family. Ironically, her surname means "the end of death ".

His killers were probably the ones who lured him outside with a phone call. May God console his family. In all, mind the sort of people you associate with or do business with.

Ddokie:
It will still consume same quantity of energy.

Nope. It will consume less energy than cooking them differently on separate burners.

Let me get this straight - you are begging for money to throw a birthday party?! Words elude me.

The mama has remained beautiful in spite of her age. Happy anniversary to them. God please, let my husband and I also live to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary, in Jesus name.

tutudesz:
In those days, but now there are PG comic, under 13 comic, etc. A child can't walk into comic book store to such comic above his age.

True, but Superman still falls under the General (G) tag I believe, unless that has changed.

tutudesz:
This are adult comic books, not children comic books

Not necessarily. DC and Marvel comic books are primarily for teenagers. The bulk of those who read them are preteen and teenage boys in secondary school.

A tragic story indeed. I am really sorry for her loss.

Why the Nigerian healthcare system is like this is because rarely do you have cases of litigation when these type of things come up.

A multi-million naira law suit that will drain that doctor's bank account, give him countless sleepless nights as well as result in the loss of his practicing license would make our dear consultant obs/gyn sit up next time - if there is going to be a next time - and do a better patient follow up on subsequent occasions... as well as prevent it from happening to someone else.

But for some strange reason, most Nigerians will just accept their loss in good faith.

This sums it up. Years ago, after the birth of my daughter, a doctor stitched up my episiotomy. Another doctor checked later and said the stitches were poorly done. He YANKED the old stitch out with apologies. The pain was horrendous. Following this ordeal, the episiotomy did not heal for three months. The delivery itself was also a traumatic experience.

That's sad. What's tombrown though?

chatinent:
Marry her, her kids goes back to their father. All you wanted was pregnancy, by the way.

For me, the kids aren't really the issue. The deception is. A person capable of such coldly calculated manipulation is capable of every evil under the sun. The young man should run.

slevan:
Oga, calm down and listen. Everything you have done with that woman prior to your discovery is null and void. What should do: Approach the court based on this new evidence to dissolve the marriage. She could go to jail and you can also ask for reparations. Your lawyer knows what to do.

This is good advice. Follow it.

That woman is cold hearted and manipulating. She forced you to go through with the registry wedding because of the secret she was keeping g. She is mean. Get an annulment, have a DNA test run on the baby after its birth and then take responsibility for the baby if it's yours. You were played.

I left an ad agency after a week of working there. My daughter was a toddler and I was told I would need to work round the clock, Saturdays and Sundays inclusive. The pay was tempting but it would have wrecked my young marriage at the time.

I can see this is going to be a new trend for teachers. There were viral videos last year of American teachers doing exactly the same thing.

This is an update to the previous thread here:

https://www.nairaland.com/6783357/traveling-air-first-time/7#106420545

So i boarded my plane this morning and i can say it was a great experience thanks to all your contributions and tips. Lemme start like this, I woke up so early as my flight was at 8:25 since it's my first time i needed to play safe to avoid stories that touch i didn't give my village people a chance in that aspect.

I arrived at the airport few minutes to 7 and by 7:10 i was done checking in and ready for boarding (I didn't expect it to be so fast and smooth tho)

That was how i started pressing my phone and carefully paying attention to the announcements that one could barely hear. (I think airports need to do better as some of us no dey understand that kind accents) They can just past the announcement on a screen for people to read, anyways what do i know? maybe people have not missed flight as a result of that.

Ehen so while waiting, i was just observing everything, i saw one bros seated behind me so i walked up to him and confessed. "Bros no vex, na my first flight bdis, abeg if dem announce air peace flight to lagos just let me know" he smiled and said i shouldn't worry. Few minutes later i heard the announcement naso i pack my things go join queue, kudos to air peace (unlike the other announcements i heard, they used one local accent to announce before the normal posh accent repeated the announcement so it was easy for me to know it's time to board.

They did the normal thing and i was inside the plane naso i just dey look like village boy. i followed the suggestion by some good NLanders and watched how to fasten a plane seat belt so it was not an issue, i no disgrace my ancestors. except for the air hostess that was rude when i asked her for my seat everything went fine, i was so calm and composed like i've done this before. The plane took off and few minutes later we're flying above the clouds i was just smiling all through then i felt a sharp pain in my left ear, boom i no dey hear well again. then i remembered i was told here, i just swallowed saliva and i'd regain my hearing, it continued through out the flight. some of the things i noticed through the flight was:

Majority of land, like 70 percent is uninhabited, i saw my knowledge of geography come into play as we ascend into the sky, i could easily identify all the different layers like atmosphere, lithosphere and the rest it was like we're traveling to space, asin after all science no dey lie oo but above all God is the greatest. My experience helped me to believe God more, like he created all these things, he has the power to do anything so why even doubt him.

At some point during the flight, the plane was vibrating and turning anyhow lol but i didnt panic because i remembered nairalanders told me about it, i was seated by the window and stayed awake all through. Like 20 minutes into the flight, the pilot said "for those of you sitting by the right if you look by the window we are just flying over ibadan" naso i look and was like, oga i no see ibadan here ooo na just thick cloud i see.
That was how i landed in lagos around 10am and the weather was looking like 4pm nawao. i enjoyed my flight sha and i hope to do this again, but next time it should be canada not lagos.

Amen to your prayer. Our victories both big and small should be celebrated.
