@bold tribalists will look for anything to criticize na. You've forgotten we are on NL

Lol... As fake as they come grin
Edwife honestly I heard & learnt all these terms ( owanbe, aso ebi) via NL .. We call it party in my hood grin


Wow that's a shocking revelation ... I guess NL critiques are hypocrites then.

Hmm that's not true.

Many Igbo folks like owanbe parties.
I didn't even know aso-ebi was a Yoruba thing until I grew up because I grew up seeing it at all weddings trad and white alike.

Those days in lagos. See Igbos at owanbe parties on our street. Invited or not grin

Ewuro4:
Its a counterfeit oh cheesy Live from Houston TX. cool

Abeg I'm not gonna play ostrich on this one.. Igbos just don't dig our owanbes and ashebi aso ebi ceremonies , I get it ,that's what makes us different but trashing us is going too far.
And to think I have Igbo Aunty that knows every nook and crannies of owanbe boggles mind grin

@tribes
They mostly ask me same q too. I just kuku ma bring out my atlas grin
Health › Re: 16 Female Patients Accuse Nigerian Doctor Of Sexual Assault by cococandy(f):
Besides I thought it was standard worldwide practice to have a female doctor's assistant in the exam room during any medical examination where the patient is a woman and vice versa for a man.

I've never had any exam with a male doc where the female assistant wasn't there holding my hands and asking me if I felt comfortable with what the doctor was doing.

Wise docs insist on this too to avoid being smeared maliciously by a mischievous patient that's out to make money from suing him/her.

Caman Sharap there Mr international man. So 10 and 13 cannot sleep alone in the house unsupervised bet they know how to sneak out of the house under their mothers nose at night to go clubbing. They know how to inflate their age because of their stature that doesn't look their age so they can enter club. As far as I am concerned they are not too small to be left alone for weeks. As a matter of fact it's the 13 year old that should be managing the 10 year old and play the role of big sister. No wonder they behave like robots. Hiaannn

Gosh how I hated those kind of things ehn angry

I remember once in a while some old lady would come to our house then to tell my mom that her son is looking for a wife.
The one that lives in Germany or London or Spain

As in "is your daughter available? That quiet fair one?" grin
In my mind I'll be like "who's quiet?" angry

And these people actually expect you to agree to consider the arrangement even without ever having met the dude.

babyosisi:
If is not a joke o
One man in this USA told me when he went home to search he had a suitcase filled with toilet soap and lotions
His aunts were organizing the girls for auditions
Anyone that comes,he will interview her,reach into the suitcase and give her one lotion and two tablets of soap and 500 naira for okada or keke
In one day ,he will see about 6 or more
I laff taya
One day sef he saw a girl in the morning and her younger sister came in the afternoon lol

*dies grin

Nne it is normal.
In my part of Igboland, we call it 'ahia di'
Meaning 'husband market'

That's when you're very young and still quite fresh. Guys keep thronging like moths around a light bulb. You can't go out then especially if you're pretty without getting hit on from all corners.
With some very serious to catch you 'young and Unspoilt' (fallacy grin)

Is still don't get it sometimes too.
Before I even turned 23,I got more suitors than I care to remember.

Na so I just dey look my twin sister doing shakara up and down. I keep wondering where the scarce husbands are.

Just that some of them don't meet up with what the ladies want so they keep looking until they start getting advanced and then turn around today husbands are scarce.

I don't blame them sha. Every lady should wash her eyes well before choosing a man to give up her father's name for.

No be small decision cheesy
babyosisi:
Herzumpther ,9 suitors just last year alone
From all geopolitical regions kwa
That is why I always laugh at these girls that tell us how scarce husbands are
Na dem sabi what they are looking for

I am not surprised sha
If I were a man and single I would marry you too

Exactly.

Assurance from the man and a strict promise to honor the lady will go a long way to calm the father's fears.

Herzl baby this is what you should do.
Get them together
ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Your problem isn't difficult..though we also have reservations about these intertribal marriages especially now that divorce rates are skyrocketing, women are getting mistreated in their homes and nobody wants his daughter far away where he can't protect her....we expect your guy to pick up the gaunlet and go meet your father..man to man... and ask for your hand in marriage.That way your dad can unburden his deep thoughts to him and both can delibrate issues like men and come to an understanding..An understanding that should assuage your father's deep fears. A woman should not be sent to do man's job. [/color]

Aww. Poor you.
But you guys live in Lagos na where does he expect your husband to come from if not from around Lagos?
I know you're fond of your daddy but you can try stand your ground see it how it works.
It might offend him at first but when he sees your mind is fixed on this man,he may relent a bit.
Herzumpther:
I met this guy 2 years ago and we started out as good friends. His mum is from Osun state and his dad from Lagos state. He is really nice and humble........I don't know how to describe him. At first I tot he was too good to be true because of the way he behaves...........at a point he took our friendship to another level and by then I already knew he was all I wanted, I was just waiting for him to poop the question lol. He didn't ask me out tho but made me his friend and we got so close that I became very comfortable with him and all of a sudden we just saw ourselves talking marriage and that was it. I told my dad in Jan last year that somebody was coming for me and he asked me from where, I told him Yoruba and he looked at me like...... Eh.....which part and I said Lagos. Daddy said "Herz just remove your mind from there, I will never allow you marry from the west and I won't give my blessings, the earlier you stop seeing him the better for everybody". I became emotionally down and started giving olalekan space. People still come for me and I misbehave along the line, some I just snub. Last year alone i turned down 9 suitors even tho I met another guy from awka and decided to go with him I still misbahaved but went back to him but it seems like it can never work because the communication is not there and I beg even before we see. I already decided to let him go because ......its not just working.

On the other hand the Yoruba guy still doesn't want to let go as he keeps saying I'm too different for him to let go and with me he feels inner peace. Me too my mind is kind of still there. Each time his parent visit Nigeria he will tell me they want to come but I just keep giving excuses.

Last week Saturday he called me to meet him up and pooped the question I was once longing to hear from him and as soon as I saw the ring I took to my heels, entered a bus to a destination I didn't even hear well all because it was the last seat just to run away. He came to Nigeria just for me as he shuttles Nigeria and America where his parent are based.

My problem now i can't seem to get him out of my system. Its weighing me down. I want to be happy again. Please help me. I misbehave and can't get a relationship going again. How do I stop thinking of him and be normal again??

You gotta be the right person for her too for the relationship to work.

If she's miss right for you and you're not mr right for her,guess what? It won't work.

It takes combined effort.

With all those horror stories?? grin grin grin

@Bold: You are scaring me shytless. You are saying that even with the 'right person' things can still go wrong? cry

Mehn..this was worse than I thought.

Here was I trying to make myself believe that the only challenge is finding the 'right person'.

What really makes marriage work if it is not about being with the 'right person'?

By 'right person' I mean one who you can cherish for life, not necessarily mr or miss perfect.

Even when you don't do anything,as long as he's formed the habit of beating on you, He will always find reasons to continue.
For some simple silly reasons as laughing too hard in front of guests, what? Are you trying to seduce them? . He will beat you when they are gone.

IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT O.

Is this coming from a woman? +100 likes for you, I tried in all my comments to stay away from these part of the advice so I don't sound biassed but good a thing you raised it.

@shiningmama I having this feeling in me that tells me you still have an ace and joker card you haven't played out yet, now is the time for you to play em, go to the drawing board and come up with a game plan, even without you being able to divulge info on ur husband's character(which I understand) well let's still look for solution. Make I go read ur thread now.

A pleasant morning all you wonderful ladies.
oh now he becomes honest.
You agree with the mojayo lady that it is her fault. She must be doing something that makes him beat her.

I give up.

"Children from divorced homes take marriage the way their parents do" according to yous.
So how do children from violent backgrounds see marriage as?

lovesolutions: I sincerely have not done this before, it is my first time to share my comment on my personal experience with a spell caster and i think it is worth it so as to help others in need. I want the world out there to know that there are so many fake spell casters who are out to rip you off and leave you with your problems, this has been my experience over time until God used my Aunt to introduce me to Dr Igbudu, who helped me within a short period of time and he gave me his word and he actually fulfilled them. I sincerely have not met a man like him. he is so true, words are not enough to thank him for making me have a nice mouth watering job and also for restoring my marriage and blessing my wife Sarah with the fruit of the womb, now i am a proud father. My joy knows no bound as i have never thought my life will be sweet ever again. Dr Igbudu, i appreciate your wonderful and prompt spells you are wonderful. THANK YOU!!! for all you have done for me and my household. What you say you will do is what you did. i am more than happy. please be careful of whom you contact for your spells work because so many imposters are out there with sugar coated tongue to deceive and keep ripping you off. here is one man who will do no such thing because he is truly sent to redeem man kind. i present to you Dr Igbudu, he is been tested, tried and i can confirm to you that he is trusted. contact him now on igbudutempleofsolutions@gmail.com or 08103318340 and you will be amazed of his works...

That's why I wonder if those who encourage people to endure violence even observe their environments at all.

This man learned it from home as did his brothers.

Bad thing

soulglo:
It seems even when these women leave their lives are still in danger. One of them was already divorced and he hunted her down. This lady was already on her way out. She should have lodged in a hotel. The one who got killed last year had lived out of town in school. It was when she came back she was murdered. I hope mothers are watching these threads closely. The atmosphere you choose to remain in and raise your children is their foundation for the future. I also know of families where every single man beats their wives. It really is a learned behavior in most cases

Divorced parents don't need to bad-mouth each other. All the kid/s needs to know is that it wasn't working out.

There's no upside to raising kids in a violent marriage compared to a single parent home.
It is worse. Many have died at the hands of their husbands or wives as we read in the news all the time.
And I know two women liked by their husbands.

A violent marriage is worse than a divorce by far.

FOREXMARTS:
I agree with you on that but don't you think it's better for a child to grow up knowing which of the two was the bad parent than growing up and hearing from mum "your father was this, that..." And when she is with the father she hears "your mother was this and that", this leaves the child utterly confused and in a dilemma. But if the father is abusive and in the midst of it all the mother is trading the child and advising them or the child not to thread the part the father has and letting em know why she still decided to stay in the marriage they will grow up to know better, i wish and hope I won't be misunderstood, unless the situation can't be managed, if out can't then she can walk out, some men are animals. Will need to read her thread.
