Romance › Re: Telling Them About Her Past Relationship Keep Driving Them Away- Advise Her. by CoCoLav(f): 7:40am On Mar 11, 2015 |
Those people advising her not to tell them na wa oo. How can she hide such a thing from them? Even if they eventually get to marriage, she has to fill the marriage form at the court which will ask for her status before marriage.
Op I advise you even tell them as soon as you become friends. Find a way to chip it in somehow, I also think you haven't found that person who will love and accept you for who you are. In my opinion, good riddance to those other men, they won't have been able to love you. |

They did not reply but I spoke to a friend of mine. He asked me to drop it because the issue is a common thing. I feel so helpless , I wish something could be done. That's really sad. |

Urine: Ifa shouldn't be brought into this fracas, the man as a person is a terrible man if what was said about him is the truth. Ifa doesn't bring sorrow to people, In fact he is Ifa olokun asoro dayo, the one who turns people's sorrow to joy.

Family › Re: Wife Divorce Husband Because He Lied About His Genotype by CoCoLav(f): 8:10am On Mar 08, 2015 |
Anaskie: First of all, I didn't know customary courts had the jurisdiction to dissolve a marriage. 
Assuming they did though, I believe that the grounds for dissolution were not proper at all. What if the guy actually believed he was AA? 
The comments I've seen here justifying divorce really makes me wonder. Marriage isn't something that should be rushed in and out. Those vows actually mean a lot.
I believe the couple should have worked it out. They could either stop making any more babies, or even adopt one.
Besides, chances are that the second and third children might even both be AS.
You guys make it sound as if Sicklers aren't human beings.
CoColav, wats ur take on dis? It depends on the type of marriage contracted I guess, iff they got a traditional marriage license from local government I guess customary court will have jurisdiction. That said, while no one is trying to stigmatize sicklers, you have to admit that the challenges that come with having them are enormous. I am talking healthwise now, challenges that can shake the foundation of your marriage. It is better imagined trust me. I lost 3 friends in secondary school to sickle cell and I blame the parents. For each crisis my friends had, for each school session they missed, i could feel their pain, the pain of wondering which crisis would lead to death...if this will be the last one that would snuff out their lives. When the crisis start coming, the love will definitely be threatened. I lost my cousin to sickle cell on christmas day, a day before his 30th birthday. All these could have been avoided. The woman may also want to have more kids but she doesn't want to risk it. Never allow love to blind you when taking decisions. Don't let it cloud your judgement. As for the decision the woman took, if she truly loved the man, she could have stayed but maybe they would have agreed not to have more kids but for her to leave, there must have been an underlying issue. Besides, lying is deceitful and nobody wants to be lied to especially by their partner....its horrible, it makes you wonder what else they lied about so i can relate with the woman's decision. I know you have never supported divorce but i believe it would be absolutely necessary in some situations. While you feel she should have worked on the marriage, some things are just dealbreakers for people. Most AS people i know ask of your genotype before even dating you just because they probably saw what their parents went through with an SS sibling and want to avoid it only for one person to.deceive them. Its quite unfair and could be heartbreaking. On a final note, a marriage can only work between two people who truly want to be together. All efforts to reconcile the couple have proved abortive so how do you force someone to remain in a marriage? |
Jokes Etc › Re: Lagos Conductors And Their Uniqueness. by CoCoLav(f): 4:27pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
Some of them are actually very nice. I met one of them at Obalende and didn't know where to get a bus to my destination. He left his bus where he was calling for passengers and went ahead to try and show me the park where I could get a bus going to my destination. He was running ahead of me and I couldn't keep up. Turned out buses were scarce and they were struggling for the bus so he made the conductor of that bus reserve a seat for me. That made me change my opinion of them. |

MzStunner: I have been following this thread from the beginning and some of the experiences are like answers to some situations I am facing or have faced. I want to thank you babyosisi, mutter, chaircover, madampinkolo, and all of you that have shared your stories, believe me, I have been refreshing this page for the past one week for updates. Like Preternatura1 I am unmarried and I USED to think like her, I perceived my self in a certain class and thereby wouldn't be caught dead dating someone that didn't meet up. if my then boyfriend didn't meet up to standard, I would hide him from my friends, cos I didn't want to "fall my hand". I dated men whom I felt belonged within and above my social class, with their charming tongues, flashy cars, suave demeanours. Most of the time, I realized that they were either engaged, married, players, cheats, had very big egos or had little respect for me. Then I met my fiancé. He was different from the kind of man I would normally be seen with. I wasn't attracted t him at all. We met at his office so I had to be civil with him but that was far as I could take it, or so I thought. He changed me with his love. he had challenges with tenses, at first I couldn't bear it. me that won essay competitions, me that my colleagues call to proof read their e-mails before they send it, but then I began to correct him, he would send me a text with a wrongly spelt word, I would reply and correct the spelling, he would get it right the next time. the things I saw as issues initially became non issues like the issue of his bad breath, I went online for solutions and one day I bought him Euthymol toothpaste and a new brush without telling him why. a week later the bad breath disappeared. he is the kindest man I have ever met. he has taught me that you should be with a man that respects you, loves you, can share his 1 naira with you, has a relationship with God. He made me to start going to church , made me stop wearing revealing clothes, made me stop buying impulsively. I used to think cooking for a man was crap but now I see myself searching for new recipes every weekend. he has made a better person. We are saving up for our wedding later this year while working and praying towards better Jobs. So my dear Preternatura1 please look for the qualities that matter, does he keep to his word, do you trust him when he is alone? what is his relationship with God Like? does he respect women? is he willing to share his income even if you are not actively contributing? If I had left my man initially because of a perceived difference in social strata, I would still be bed hopping with guys that do not have my interests at heart. You could be lucky to find a man who is well to do and genuine without a trail of clingy exes but think through and through for the things that really matter. those people you are trying to impress with a sophisticated man will not be there to wipe snot off ur nose when ur sick, rub ur back when u hv cramps, make u a meal when ur too tired to make one, gossip with you, understand when u tell him u don't want to have s*x even when he wants to. experience has taught me that money and class will not give me all these, love, respect and kindness will. Wow! Your posts reminds me of my sister. When her husband approached her, her answer was No before he even started talking because she felt he was not her class. My dad had to talk to her and advise her, told her he would prefer she marries a man who is still 'struggling' than a made man. Told her all the issues she had with him could be solved including the dressing thing. Today they are married and she chooses his clothes, all the things she felt were major issues have been forgotten and as far as I can tell she is happy. |

Reasons why you should be a law abiding citizen and stay away from trouble.
If the prisons become very comfortable, more comfortable than the house of the average man, it would have its vices. The living standard of the average Nigerian needs to be improved first.
However, I believe the Nigerian government can do better than this...at least make it a bit habitable. These pictures are an eyesore.
That said, I have no sympathy for those who [b]truly deserve [/b]to be in jail. I have never believed in restorative justice anyway. |

Romance › Re: Is Love Enough In A Relationship? by CoCoLav(f): 1:59pm On Mar 02, 2015 |
Love can never be enough in a relationship. That thing you call love now will still fade and if that's all you have got, when it fades you have nothing and the relationship crashes.
For me I concentrate more on Friendship, Loyalty, Tolerance, Perseverance, Endurance, Respect E.t.c. Love is never enough, don't get it twisted. |
