Lol... And in that your small mind, you know me well. Just concentrate on raising your daughter how you want.

Lol, any girl who loves being lied to has definitely had her heart broken before.

I don't need to 'know you well' to know this because the stats speak for itself...

bukatyne:
The story gives the much needed amusement in this trying times jare.

The ending is too predictable joor. Hubby begs and returns the money.

Snatching the jewelry from the old woman's neck while calling her 'the mother of a thief' would have added more spice.

Whether real event or a figment of the OP's imagination.

Either way, the OP's personal need for satisfaction will be achieved in her very active imagination.. Lol

I'm pretty sure she has never been married, not even in her two previous lives.

bukatyne:
Your marriage is already deceitful considering your husband is a repentant thief.

I have not told you to be nice either. I only said your long-term goal for your marriage would determine your strategy.

With your post above, I would have thought you would dam it all and snatch the jewelry from your MIL's neck and be done with the deceitful marriage.

The entire story doesn't seem real if you observe carefully, too contrived...

NobleAngell:
She wants you to listen to her as talks no matter how long she talks for or what she talks about. Be interested in what interests her like her hairdo, complement her all the time. When she's gossiping about that her friend pay attention and if it's a misunderstanding she's narrating, take sides with her. Tell her how good her food tastes even if it's not exactly so.

In summary, just pretend and lie to her – pretend you care about the things she cares about, and lie to her about things you know would hurt her feelings if you told her the truth instead.

And ladies like yourself keep wondering why y'all have a history of guys who ended up deceiving you and breaking your hearts... which of course must have happened after they got tired of lying and pretending. Lol.

Oh good Lord, please give me the strength and wisdom to raise my daughter right... Amin!

This man didn't even mention lekki shooting, there was no sympathy to d victims family. Ah Nawao

That thing we just watched was a photoshoot, nothing more.

Let us wait for the big boss Buhari to speak by 7pm WAT, he's the one I'm more interested in hearing what he has to say.

Everyone already knows that Osinbajo is always careful to not say anything that will contradict the position of his boss

dorin27:
Different teachers with different teaching skills. Children especially age 1- 5 are attracted to colours, flashy things etc. You can assist your child by making letters (a-z) using different coloured cardboards. Or try the following methods.

1--- stroke down
2--- around and dash
3--- around and around
4--- stroke down, dash and down again.
5---- stroke down, around and a dash ontop
6 --- make a curve and go in
7 --- across the sky and down from heaven.

Lemme stop here...my pot is on fire...lol.

N:B It takes a lot of patience to teach a child...And please tell your wife to stop beating your child beating a child is not always the best...it will only make the child scared of even trying. Learning is meant to be fun.

Hmmmm... I had to read this twice to finally figure out what was going on.

The people behind these wanton lootings and destruction were just waiting for an opportunity to unleash mayhem.

That's all I can glean from all of this.

This happened yesterday.

Saw the clips of the incident last night and those SUVs are definitely government-owned – whether they belong to the DSS or not, is besides the point.

What matters is that official government vehicles were used to convey thugs to attack protesters.

Everytime I hear this man speak, or read something he said, I don't know why but it always feels like someone is rubbing iron against concrete inside my ears.

Tinubu is the person who should be focused on, not Sanwo-olu. Tinubu is the real enemy, and I love what happened at TVC.

bukatyne:
God is going to punish you.

Just wait and see.

So all the live videos are fake? Channels news is fake? People living around is fake?

God will punish you.

Amen.

This is the second time in less than two weeks I can actually feel your anger behind a comment you made, something I have NEVER felt ever on NL.

You have the spark afterall

ThierryJay:
It's not true that there were no gunshots. On Channels evening news yesterday, I watched the video where a security personnel shot and killed one of the prisoners who was caught up in between the barbed wires on the fence while trying to jump down.

It's difficult to obtain facts about the situation on ground when emotions are running high everyone seems to be about promoting an agenda that suits their personal sentiments.

Imho, the plausible scenario is that the jailbreak was initiated by hoodlums/protesters outside but aided and abetted by some prison officials or relative lack of adequate security resistance.

To be honest, that's all the point I have been making.

There's no way they didn't have any help from inside, no way.

naptu2:
No, they are part of the normal naming system. It's just that some people have forgotten the meanings of the names or that the meanings of the words have changed.

In many cultures it is a tradition for members of a family to do a certain occupation. The knowledge is usually passed down from father to son and mother to daughter. In many such cultures the family name usually indicates that occupation.

Okay

descarado:
One of my lecturers is Mrs Blunt
Didn't know when I busted out laughing when she said her name is blunt. I've asked her,she said it's her family name and even told me weirder ones .

But, if u translate them to our various languages, we have such name o.
Ofia is somebody's name. That's bush.
We even have a wider ones
Though people now use such names as titled names e.g. ofia 1 of nairaland etc.

Imagine...

descarado:
Check it up, the meaning is diverse. Names evolve.
My name's were as a result of being twin. Very annoying and I changed them

When my first kid was named by his dad( just allowed him and his family to name anything they feel like), I now looked up some names that have the similar sound or letters to match the first one for subsequent ones. Checked their meaning and they were ok.
Like the Kardashian's with k.

As long as names are short( people these days hate long names), has good meaning, I'm good.

But see names like destiny, blessing, goodness. Yuk

Lol, names with diverse meanings are even more confusing.
Like I saw Buka and angelfalz trying to decide what Mary/Mariah actually means. Both of them are right anyway, because it can mean bitterness and also mean beloved – but why give a name with so much confusion (diversity) in meaning.

I can understand why you would change your twin name.
I too have found some traditional twin names to be a little unimaginative – most of them just mean first & second or senior & junior. Seriously, that's all?

You see those names you mentioned like Destiny, Blessing, Goodness... Do you know I even like them?
BUT not when given in these English versions oo.

I mean I like them when they are transcribed into a traditional dialect form (whether in Igbo, Edo, or Yoruba) and then given to a child – they seem more expressive.

Everything still boils down to a parents' choice anyway, but still...

Golan007:
Where's my apology?

Video is unavailable.

What did you want me to see?

angelfallz:
Lol. Mum, dad, family, community, children etc.

Then we are all Alexanders. Well at least most of us are, including you...

angelfallz:
Haba a child can grow up to be a protector na.

Also in the catholic church, children can also be named after saints, so it might not have to do with the meaning of the name, but the saint the child is named after.

I agree, but protector of?

This is where the origins of a name come into perspective for me.
I know, I can be weird...

naptu2:
Most of those names also have meanings. There are two things that you need to remember.


1) Words often have more than one meaning. It's possible that the name refers to a meaning that is different from the one that you are thinking of.


2) The English Language is derived from many sources including French (because of the Normans), German (because of the Saxons), Latin (because of the Roman occupation), Scandinavian languages (because of the Vikings), etc. Some of those names mean something different in the original language.



Woods in this case refers to a place with lots of trees, like a forest. The original meaning of the name Woods is someone that works in a forest (maybe as a lumberjack, hunter, etc). So most likely the baby's father works in the woods (that's why it's usually used as a surname).


Blunt is derived from French and it originally referred to people with blond hair.

But honestly, aren't these reasons/meanings just funny and weird?

River, Skye etc.. LOL

descarado:
At least this one get meaning.
What of Blunt, Wood etc.

English names are very funny and weird.

Lol, I didn't want to engage that person in a conversation after he/she replied... But since you brought it up, the meaning of Alexander seems blehhhhh to me.
I don't mean to come off critical though, I'm just 'saying'...

Like you just name a child protector.
Protector of whom and what?

Like I noted earlier, these names sounds good and sure they'll have a meaning... but what exactly is the context of the meaning and how does it relate to that particular child, especially when it's a name that was pre-planned way before the child was even born.
This is always my curiosity

Golan007:
Like I said, you believe there was a jailbreak, perhaps the wardens were in on it but you don't believe there was a gun duel.

Well done.

Not in the first one this morning..

I'm about watching another video about a second jailbreak. Seems staged, but let me watch it first

Golan007:
Is it that you believe everything but the gun duel?

Well I guess you've been following this jailbreak news since morning, did you hear anything about casualties or a gun duel?

I think they realize people are starting to figure out it was an inside job, and they are staging things and making up stories more than ten hours after the first incident happened.
Makes no damn sense...

The report below reads like damage control

I thought they said earlier there were no guns or casualties involved. Where is all this report now coming from?

cc: Golan007, Homeboiy

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), has confirmed the jailbreak in Benin and Oko prisons in Benin City by hoodlums on Monday.

This was disclosed in a statement by the NCoS spokesperson, AC Njoku.

According to the statement, investigations have begun at NCoS to search for the escaped inmates.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that the hoodlums, numbering over 100, broke open one of the cells and freed several inmates in the process.

Several persons sustained gunshot injuries as an armed squad of prison officials engaged the suspected hoodlums in a gun duel.

This newspaper reported that the hoodlums had earlier gathered along Sapele Road beside the prison as early as 7 a.m, setting bonfires and blocking road users particularly motorists.

“Custodial centres were attacked this morning by suspected protesters under the #ENDSARS protests in Benin and Oko in Benin,” it said.

It condemned the protesters for their non-peaceful, and violent destructive actions.

It said the exact figures of escapees and casualties are yet to be confirmed and will be communicated after preliminary investigations.

I like the response of this journalist below, very factual.

A journalist, Fisayo Soyombo, who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES said the jailbreak in Benin was stage-managed by unknown persons.

“This was stage managed, who did this I cannot tell you, because these people are smart. It’s not possible without the collusion of the insiders without proper ammunition,” he said.

“Hoodlums that are not well stocked in terms of ammunition cannot from outside launch a jail break of that magnitude,” he said.

“I read in a report that hoodlums started gathering around 7 am around the prisons. In any prison in Nigeria, once there is unrest outside, any slightest scene of danger outside, what the prison wardens do is to order all inmates back into their cells and they lock them up,” he said.

“The event you saw in the video of the outbreak is not a natural occurrence, I can tell you confidently that that was not a natural occurrence,” he added.

“If these protesters were sighted at 7 am then the prison authorities would have locked the inmates up,” he added.

“This means that if the protesters like, they should break all the walls of the prisons down, the inmates will still be in their cells unable to escape.”

“Another thing is that prisons in Nigeria have security including police officers and wardens with guns.

“The number of people I saw in that video cannot escape without any casualties. It’s not possible that the scores of inmates are running away and no police officer or warden guarding the prisons, who have guns shot at one of them,” he said.

Golan007:
When Boko Haram sacked prisons and police posts how did it happen?

Conditions of anarchy lead to all kinds of scenarios and jail breaks are more likely to succeed when such situations occur.

Wardens depend on the police for back up.

No one anticipates for road blockades married with police suppression.

Whatever the citizens see they take.

The same Boko Haram that has almost the same grade of ammunition as the Nigerian Army?
Is it police and prison that will be their problem? Lol

We're talking about unarmed protesters (or hoodlums) here, and maybe you should just watch those videos again.

At first, I thought it was the protesters that were at the top of those walls.
It was actually prisoners – some went through the barb wires and jumped down in one video, and in another video, some used the roof of what looks like a guard post to descend.

All the above is even inconsequential if someone can't explain how these prisoners alone with security inside a prison were able to get to the top of the prison fence in the first place.

Golan007:
So that you can start lynching wardens abi?

You're funny... Those questions are investigative, not in anyway advocating for the use of force.

You mean to tell me, people with no weapons broke into a prison, then proceeded to let out the prisoners inside... and you won't ask questions?

First of all, do you even know the prison we are talking about here?
The walls are almost two stories high from the outside and the front access is barricaded like a fortress.

From the videos I saw, it was prisoners that were at the top of those walls, not protesters... Meaning they were able to set themselves free and then proceed to climb the walls from inside the prison before jumping/escaping out the other side.

No hoodlums (or protesters) gained access into the compound – every video on the internet is showing the outer perimeter of the fence.

Question again is, how were the prisoners able to access the fence without any warder or security stopping them?

Homeboiy:
No they don’t

Police do

If they claimed that the warders helped opened gates for them

Why was this man beaten , his face is swollen that he can’t see with the second eye now

Eye witness not this internet stories

Hmmmm, okay that's possible... But it's very unusual that there is no armed security in that prison.

If it were that easy for prisoners to escape, they would have been doing it long before now.

And I don't believe that a protester (or hoodlums posing as protesters) could have access to the prison from outside without any help from the inside. Reason am...

Homeboiy:
It is a lie because one of the warders there just returned home this evening with a swollen eye

As he narrates to us that the inmates attacked them

Tore his cloth and took his money



One of the inmates ran home naked

Why were no shots fired?
Don't the warders have access to live ammunition specifically for situations like this?

Ask him that

There's a psychiatric explanation to this, there has to be...

bukatyne:
Thanks a lot crackhaus . Shades of purple are my favorite nail polish colours

If I add a 's', it would serve me for eight more years
