FamilyRe: My Family Keep Disturbing Me To Go To Church by cognize: 12:35am On Apr 02, 2016
redwriter:
My parents keep disturbing about church,bible,evening service,evangelism. It has got to the point that I'm stressed out,angry and depressed.
I want the right to choose whether to go to church.or not or chillax at home on a sunday if I want to.
I want the right to make my choices. But they treat like a child going as far as calling me to the family room twice today to warn me!
I don't want to go to church sometimes! Yes,I've said it. I believe in prayer and I also believe in hardwork and growing steadily. One way my family use religion to bully me is to quote testimonies of people getting miracle jobs in oil companies,people flying abroad and girls getting married. So my lowly job in a school is not a 'real job' and its beneath me.
Me,I hear about the miracle jobs and I wish them well but not everybody will work in oil companies. They seem to be really unrealistic in their thinking and expectations.
I guess religion does that to you.
I am tired. Everyday,I pray to be able to get my own place and leave. I will rather soak garri in my one room in peace than eat chicken where there is no joy.
I understand ur view. It will be well with u soon take heart. God is not interested if u go to church or not what interest him is our heart n how we treat our fellow humans. U can decide to go to church, u can also decide to stay at home or decide to worshiP him in truth n in sPirit b u at home or in church. The life is urs make good use of it.

The feminists will tell you women's seeming lack of progress is all due to centuries of social conditioning and subjugation by men!

And I'll ask them how is it a mere coincidence that women of all cultures, races, creed, religion and people's have always been under men?

And unable to answer, that's when their bitter and profane ranting begins.
true that is their normal chorus.

Yes it should encompass all but women have been suppressed for long and their roles limited (i dont think any unbias person can deny this). Now, there is nothing wrong with men inventing so many things, for all we know, women may not be the centre of their intentions for doing so, rather to make life easier. Like Stupedinluv has said men and women are different but not unequal, i see from your posts that you are contradicting this. If we are different and our roles not the same, why the comparison then? Men are built to work, women to nurture.

You think men do better taking care of the home, in which continent?

Calm down women are not trying to usurp you, we are not trying to beat men's inventions.

Traditionally speaking,
You have your role in the field
We have ours at home. We respect yours dont treat ours as a "mere thing"
1.Nobody suPPressed women note that. Women. Majority of Women never showed interest back then check history it was their attitude towards social matters that made them seem oPPressed.
2. Equality or not the holybooks(Bible n Quran) says men were created b4 women( Dear remember the saying seniority on board). Ok different yes, not suPerior debatable( ok I will say yes we are both suPerior).
3. What stoPs women from inventing to make life easier as u claim our inventions were not done with the motive of helPing women.
4. A baby is a baby be it male or female what changes is motherly n societal influence that inculcate the working nature of men n the nurturing nature of women.
5. Men do far better in domestic activities than women name it however u want n I will Prove to u.
6. I think you or women should calm down not me or men n look inwards and ask urselves wia u got it wrong stand uP n face the challenge( if u see it so) go out n invent for the betterment of all or just for urselves.
8. I can Never Ever n I Pray not to treat women as "mere thing" u guys are great but u can b greater. My mum, aunt n cousins who made me what I am are women. common I can't be so insensitive as to disresPect women. But STOP BLAMING MEN N TAKE RESPONSIBILTY

Thank you but i am not talking about science and technology, i am talking about domestic roles and how men were made to see women generally. ?? Are you saying women should go into inventions and compete with men before we can recognise what they have done. Maybe we should ask if women were even allowed to think back then first.
We are looking at equality, so it encompasses all be it domestic or whatever. When we talk about domestic men have invented cooking and kitchen utensils to make cooking n oda domestic activities easier for women(Cooker,Iron,laundry machine etc.) Men have also learnt, if not better, how to take care of a home better than most women. Be it science n technology we(men) have always been ahead. Domestically men are ahead(my opinion). Now how we see women is innate meaning from the cradle it has always been men are meant for labour, women are meant for care. NOBODY I REPEAT nobody stoPPed women from thinking for themselves. If I may ask what hinders women from achieving greater heights like men?

Maybe if men had played their part properly in history we would not have women crying for "equality"
Statements like "we are superior to women" are not helping matters either. In handling sensitive issues like this, wisdom is more profitable. Dont just utter anything.
I don't agree with the bolded.
Most major works aim at making life better were done by men. Most wars were fought by men n women n children were protected. Men have n will continue to protect women. The issue is what have women done to improve themselves?

Strahovski1:
Lol.

Let me book first and read.

Ok I've read it.

[s]Well, she might not have any supernatural powers you are thinking. Maybe she heard you talking over the phone about the divorce. Maybe she used a traditional way (stones) to light the gas, maybe she likes sleeping and maybe you just roll under the bed[/s]

Now that's bullsh!t.

Your wife obviously has some metaphysical powers. Perhaps she is a member of a witch coven. And witches are harmless creatures. They are servants of nature unless you threaten them. So in my opinion you have nothing to fear.

Instead talk to her. Don't be afraid. She won't hurt you. If truly she has powers convince her to open up and if she opens up, it's a blessing. Yes. You two will now come together to figure how you can exploit those powers. Common your wife can make fire with her hands without a match stick that means she can do anything. If she can make fire come, she can make a $1000 note come too! Lol no pun intended.

Jokes apart, you guys can have anything you want. If she makes invisible water bathe her she can make anything invisible.

She can even read minds omg! Man sell her to me please. I'll pay

I won't tell you to divorce her. Goto church and cast the spirit by fire. Deliverance and all what typical africans will say. I'll tell you to EXPLOIT it.

Get something good out of it. You can even tell her to make them promote you at work. Alot of stuff. She is like your nuclear weapon. Your asset. That is if you pose no threat to her. Man I wish I was in yor position by now I won't be on NL. Damn.
U must be an igbo man!

This is not a Joke. I married my woman about 6 months ago. We dated for about 4 months and I married her. She insisted that I marry her otherwise she moves away. And she was my perfect type of woman so I had no choice.
Since she was your perfect type why complain?

ST305
After our wedding she refused to make love on our wedding night. She said she wasn't in the mood for that. I let her be. For 1 month we did not do anything not like I married her for sex but it's unusual I confronted her.[/quote:

Bros u r in for a very long thing(one chance)


[quote author=ST305
About 2 months later I started having weird nightmares, seeing all sorts in my sleep sometimes I wake up and find myself under the bed. I asked her regarding me under the bed she said I usually roll and fall then roll under the bed. It's sounds funny but it's not a funny experience. For 2 weeks straight it happened consecutively. Then i changed my sleeping position to the wall so I cannot roll off. I still find myself under my bed. This usually happens when we make love. If we don't it doesn't.

She goes to church with me, prays with me and acts normal but sometimes she is not normal at all. It was Last month, I noticed that she Does not use the mirror and yet her make up is perfect, she does not bath with the shower water and she comes out wet. Excuse me, your wife enters the bathroom you do not hear the sound of running water at all and she comes out wet. How is this possible? I'm running mad. She Does not sit in front of a mirror because there is no mirror in our room and she comes out with a beautiful face.

When she sleeps at night, it takes hours for her to wake up. She might sleep 8pm and wake 11am. When she wakes she looks so stressed and tired (someone who is just waking up).

Last 2 weeks, I was to attend a party my friends organized for me to celebrate us. She told me not to go to the party that she won't go. I went alone with the hope of lying to my friends that she called in sick. Because it doesn't make sense. I got to the party it went well but coming back home I was involved in a motor accident though I survived unhurt it was this morning I started to read meanings into all this. Infact on Sunday, she told our house assistant to fetch some box of matches from the nearby shop. The house assistant was yet to come and I saw my wife cooking rice.

I asked her if she has found some matches, she said no. I don't know what came over me I was dumbfounded. How in the world did she light the gas? Without a match. I did not ask her because I am afraid to ask her. It's as if she can read my thoughts. I was planning on a silent divorce with one lawyer I did not tell her yet. She came to me and said i want to divorce her..hw did she know?

Please if I start counting all this tin it will take a whole day. Please I don't know the section to post maybe religion i don't know.

I seriously was not going to reply this thread but I couldn't just bare the total sense of grotesquery to be derived from all the rubbish you wrote. I know your type. You want a guy that you can tweak any how abi. If it were possible, you'll lock your guy in a cupboard and go about your daily scandals. When you get back, you open the cupboard and allow him breath a bit and do all sort of things to him. And when you are done, lock him back in the cupboard abi. You are not even ashamed of yourself. This only proves my point that ladies are the most selfish beings that ever walked the face of the earth. The day you stop using hair extensions on your head is the day men will also stop watching football. Instead of trying to turn your boyfriend into your regular everyday sanitary pad, why not embrace what he loves, coz that's the rational thing to do. See dis konkonbility, so because he was carried away by a football match is the reason you left him. So where were you all this while? Are you from planet Pluto? Or are you from no planet at all. Like nothing, you just appeared from no where. You have a problem my freind and so is every other single lady with a similar perspective. The question to ask yourself is this, if my brother was the one watching football and got carried away, will I disown him. You better wake up from your fantasy. I love football, but not like that sef, but when I am watching a very serious match, forget, for that ninety minute, is either you get crazy with me, or shut the door behind you. Coz believe it or not, you don't exist at that specified point in time. Why is this so, you might be asking, well to be sure, you'll have to carry out series of pre-meditative and psycho-statistical analysis revolving around the mans behaviorism. Maybe after 90 years of loneliness, you'll finally understand why men don't give a flying F about boo-boos or boo-baes when they are watching a serious game. Maybe after then, you can be happy you know the reason and rest in peace. Finally, if you are looking for a guy that doesn't love football, or when watching football, still has your time..Go to DELUSION WONDERLAND...He's waiting for you there....This girl dey vex me....mtchweeeeee

That girl you think is your friend is most likely your worst enemy. Why? She is only there for you because of what she can get Same old Nigerian guy Nagging
Yes we Guys keep complaining about this day in day out but we never seem to learn. When the money comes, we share the money. We spend on people who won't add any value to our lives and impress people who are just there to ruin us.

MY EXPERIENCE
There is the girl I was dating when I was I secondary school some 10years ago. I really loved this girl with all my heart (she is a nairalander and I know she would know herself once she reads this story, I don't mind). After leaving school and gaining admission into the university, we lost the vibe and only stayed casual friends. I got admission 2 years before she got admission into her own university (lautech).
Fast forward to her year of service and coincidentally she was posted to the state where I worked. Coincidentally, I got a multi-million naira contract. Life was good!
We started our relationship over again. I made sure she enjoyed my little money. We were even talking about marriage and life after her service. Then disaster struck. I entered a business agreement with a collegue and contributed all my savings into the deal. The new contract we were pursuing never come through. This girl's warm reduced immediately. Within a month she came up with the excuse of having a boy friend she was engaged to. Later learnt the guy had just gotten a good job.
Interestingly, I had a Neighbour, also a single lady who sold shoes and stuff. She was all nice to me when the money was flowing. All of a sudden she stopped asking after me.

Now I got my juice back and she is all nice again.

It is a FACT, women are calculating, they look for the greenest pasture. You got money? You got their heart.

Spend your money on your family and close guy friends, they will be there for you in your down time.

To the women, you may think you are smart, but you lose in the end. I have at least 4 ladies who think they are my girlfriends. They all abandoned their poor boyfriends to be in relationship with me. Guess what. I only use them. Can't count how many I have had in the last one year. You won't command any respect from a rich guy once he knows why you are in relationship with him. It's amazing how easily ladies with boyfriends abandon their guys for richer ones.

To my guys, you don't even have to spend. Just show you got money. They will do anything and cry at the end that you are stingy. Laugh and move on to the next gold digger

They keep seeing topics like this and forming voltron, all na wash, they will never change. Forget all the feminist comments you see here, in real life they cry and beg rich dudes to keep their relationship, all because of money

Let me start with this:

If you're a gold-digging oppurtunistic leech, don't date a Nigerian man. We will find you out. It's not a one-off that an 18-year-old Nigerian boy can con a 56-year-old British professor. WE ARE WORLD-FAMOUS FOR BEING SMART.

Of course, the thieving Nigerian girls wouldn't want smart Nigerian men. We'd screw you girls and pass you on to our friends when we discover you're unfaithful.

Who wants a woman who's always at the receiving end of favours? Nigerian women always beg for favours!

When was the last time you visited your boyfriend, do his laundry then prepare him a meal with YOUR OWN MONEY? You can't remember? I thought as much.

How many girls on this thread bought the phones they're using with their OWN money? The fake wigs? The eyelashes? Heck! You even beg to purchase sanitary pads.


The average Chinese and American girl starts getting wages for job done from age 13. She babysits, runs errands, sort out groceries... Anything.

Nigerian girls? They sit on their lazy, buttpadded behinds!

The average Nigerian girl fantasizes about Marriage from age 16. No, it's not because she's romantic or homely. It's because she wants a man who'd take care of her financial needs while she brings only her unshaved _vagina to the table.


Oops! Bad for them, my Nigerian brothers are getting wiser.

Until you girls learn to be homely, loving and stoic like our mothers past, we'd continue to play and prey on you.

Lived in Lagos until 2006
Got married in 2005 in Owerri.
Moved wife from Owerri (she was working there) to Lagos in 2005.
Moved wife from Lagos to Holland (2006-2008). He was studying for MSc; she could not work
Moved wife from Holland to UK (2008 - 2012). Obtained his PhD while wife did some okay paying, although not so great jobs.
Moved wife from UK to Minnesota, USA (he got a job with a sponsored H1 Visa) in 2012; but wife could not work with her H4 visa
Became a Green Card holder with wife in 2014. Wife started working and settling down in Minnesota.
Then he goes for a bigger job in Pennsylvania; moves wife along to Pittsburgh in 2015. Wife took several months to get a job because she is not as educationally advanced as hubby.
Now he wants to move to Washington, DC, for even a much bigger job. Wife says ''no way. This is becoming crazy. I have a life too''. I'd rather divorce than move this time''.

What do you think he should do?
Since he is a mover, he should move for a divorce too.
