I remember sometime ago a close relative visited me. Within two days of his visit, I started looking for 7k I kept in my suit pocket inside wardrobe, I saw the money a day before it got missing. In my family, the last thing anyone could be accused of is stealing, it is alien to us.
We were the only two people in the house and I didn't know how to ask him for the missing money...I was worried cause I didn't want to spoil our reputation. Omo I searched everywhere and didn't see the money so I was forced to ask him...the look on his face was that of disappointment. He said he didn't see the money. I became double worried, one for the missing money and two for breaking the trust/reputation. But who could have taken the money? At some point I started believing maybe I have spent the money unknowingly...
But alas, I found the money inside the hand of my suit jacket in the wardrobe. Meaning I mistakenly put it there instead of my suit inner breast pocket.
I told him I have found the money and apologized, but could still see the disappointing look on his face...I regretted asking him for the missing money till today.
Otar: My pastor once told the story of how he was invited to preach at a white garment church, and when he got there with his immaculate suit and tie, he decided to remove his shoes before entering even without them mandating him, and he is coming from a new covenant Church. And he said something powerful: you never disrespect things that some people hold sacred regardless of whether you believe in it or not. For people will first gauge the level of respect you show them before accepting whatever you have to offer
mugnmuffin: First, I want to apologize for the statement insinuating that Catholic Christians are less Christian compared to Pentecostals. That was not meant to be a generalization. The reason why faith is my principal concern is because, as a Christian, there are certain ethics and codes of conduct a person adopts and practices that guide their actions and decisions. It is the crux of the matter for me.
Many of the comments are asking for elaboration especially with regards to other aspects besides spirituality. Some of the red flags in terms of his attitude and behavior that give me cause for concern are how he relates with ladies; I found that he cheated on me a couple of times. Some of my friends who are married assure me that it is nothing to worry about because “men will always be men”. However, I feel like overlooking that means ‘settling’. Also, he tends to act like we’re competing for career success. I’m a banker and he works with a company and is well paid. From comments he makes when I make attempts to pursue growth, like take courses or attend conferences to network, his response shows that he thinks it’s a waste of time and resources. I don’t always expect him to give me financial support, even if encouragement. But he feels I should be content with my current status. It scares me that he may staunch my progress after marriage. I’m no saint myself, but I know marriage is a lifetime affair and just because I didn’t look before I leaped into the relationship doesn’t mean I shouldn’t at this point try to make amends.
Didn't read through all the thread pages. I'll assume there are wholesome advice sprinkled in between.
You're not bound to stay with him if you don't have that peace in your heart about him. That disquiet or lack of peace is one very important way God's good Spirit uses to get through to us.
If the disquiet persists, get back your peace of mind which is more important than being married.
If Buhari wasn't petty and if he had the heart to lead, he won't be waxing the nonsense he's been saying these past few days...but not only is he petty, he does not have the heart to lead and he is just plain wicked and divisive.
DBestDoc: Are you people ok? You should have nothing to do with that girl or anyone that tries to convince you to continue with her. Those people do not love you, neither do they want you to stay alive.
Even married people divorce and you’re here talking about an engagement you did with a 10k ring.
The girl in question should even be arrested for attempted murder if you had real evidence to prove this.
Cousin9999: Forbidden fruit. Also, women find a man more attractive when he's cherished, and when they see him in a loving relationship.
I think some people have a hard time seeing someone a certain way until it's right in front of them, and then it's almost like watching their fantasy in real life. This might be even more striking when they see a guy treat someone in a way they're not being treated or have never been. It also translates to intimacy for them.
Just tell her that you're very flattered, but you love your wife. Which might make her more determined. lol Some women get off on "making" you cheat.
Follow this advice.
Also, avoid her. Don't let her permanently spoil what's starting to get good in your life. Let your wife know too. Hopefully, she's not a belligerent person. So help you God.
LegalRambles: The 420k plus doesn't reflect on the body. Put an A52 5G with a 120hz refresh rate or even an A80 Samsung beside it. And wonder which the public will pick most. A very unappealing design I must say. I must commend Samsung for their good screen. In summary waste of money
Is there the 5G version of A52 here in Nigeria? What everyone is selling is the 4G version yet they stubbornly put Samsung A52 5G
Marvel6233: Samsung Galaxy A52 is now officially available in Nigeria for purchase. So many features on this phone that one might even think it is a flagship phone. But it is not. Na confirm midrange device wey get oil for head.
So since I got the device for a review, the first thing I did was to test the water resistant feature (IP67). I left it undee fresh water for 8 minutes plus. Na where my mind strong reach be that ..Lolz
My full review of the device go drop anytime soon where I'd reveal too the effect of the water on the device. But for now its working perfectly. It has been my daily phone since launched. Anyways, Samsung fan boys I greet oh
I feel bad for you. The vast majority of sellers on NL are scammers and thieves. There are good ones but very few so that I won't be accused of generalising.
Whichever way this is resolved, I hope you or anyone else on NL will be careful about the value of things you buy off from people on Nairaland.
Two stupid clowns were trying to shut me up earlier but see all the troubles you've put yourself in...
Harryfrosh: Good evening everyone... I'm just really annoyed and angry right now because of what's going on between @bdemix and @omicpet.. Last two weeks ago.. I was scrolling the offerup thread and saw @bdemix post about Samsung note 20 ultra TLC 370k... I called him around 3am that day because I need phone urgently.. I talked to him that day about price and he insisted on the 370k... I said OK... I'll pay... And later asked him when the phone will land... Just to know maybe i can wait or not... He said in between two weeks... I said I have no option than to wait then... I paid him 70k and last week Saturday he called me that the phone is now in Nigeria and @omicpet will handle the waybill... I transferred the remaining balance of 300k... I now asked about the waybill bill... He said @omicpet company will handle that... I told him I'll like to know the actual price... So I can pay everything.. Then I went on to tell him I want home delivery.. Because I just moved to ibadan without knowing any place... And to also be on the safe side... He said Lagos to ibadan should be around 3k or 4k but maximum of 5k... I said OK... I sent him 4k... I was expecting home delivery... Then a man called me around 7pm yesterday.. The man said he was to deliver a package to me... I was really confused.. I called @bdemix just to confirm because I don't really understand... @bdemix said he was expecting the waybill number... And he also mentioned that to me yesterday morning when I asked him for any updates... He said he already sent 3k to @omicpet office and he'll call then in the evening to ask for the delivery number... Just for a public transport man to called me about the package... I said OK no problem... I went to challenge street spending #300 like 1 hour plus to my place.. I called @bdemix before going and getting there around 8:30pm yesterday evening... Driver is not there... I called him and he said he's still in elewe.. I don't know that place.. I asked around and they said elewe is in Lagos.. I feel angry... But I have 370k phone at stake... I told myself I'll wait... Around 9pm I called the man again and he said he was around ogere... I also don't know that place... I keep calling @bdemix to tell him what's going on and my displeasure about the situation... Around 10pm the man is no longer going through... I keep telling myself to wait.. Till around 12am and all the area is empty... Only me and I look for hotel around... The one available is occupied.. I don't just know what to do and I'm really scared... I was just thinking then I saw a filling station.. I walked in and explained what's going on to the filling station security man and the man pity my condition and let me in.. I sat on a bench till 4am I can't sleep because I'm really scared... Exactly 4am I called @bdemix to let him know I slept in the street... But he don't pick up.. I guess he was sleeping.. I called the driver and he went through... Hello sir... I slept inside filling station because of you yesterday and I was just crying on the phone because I've never expected that to happen to me at all... Sleeping in filling station... Empty place... The man said if I see him myself... I'll pity him.. He said he was robbed coming to ibadan.. I don't know what to say.. I called @bdemix again and he picked up dis time around 4:30am.. I explained everything to him on the phone and he told me not to worry that I'm safe... I said OK.. Already around 5am cap already moving... I stopped a cap and went back to my place... Around 8am the man called me again to come to the park.. I put on my clothes and board a cab again and on getting there.. I saw the man really damaged.. His car was also damaged like seriously.. I start feeling scared and nervous.. The man explained what happened to me how him and his passengers were robbed and injured... He now said my own package was stolen by the robbers... He said because the package is not that big.. He put it in front of the car and that's how the robbers was able to cat away the phone and other passengers phones and money... In dis junction, I don't know what to do or say because the man is really injured and his car is also damaged badly... I called @bdemix to explained and he said I should hold the driver responsible... That I should called police on him and all that... Me.. I don't want all dis stuff that's why I paid for home delivery and gave you my home address which you asked for... After all back and forth... I was able to invite some police to the discussion... The people around won't allow the police to do anything because they keep saying if the robbers killed the man like they killed a driver last week who will be asking questions... I called @bdemix and he said i should not agree and hold him very well.. But how na.. He now suggest using Army officers... I don't know any army here in ibadan... I called a junior brother who is army in Lagos and he called some of his friends in ibadan and they also showed up... When they arrived... They asked questions and they said all of us should go to where the robbery happened... We entered and on getting there... It's true robbers operate in the area over night... People around the area confirmed that and the person who towed the man vehicle also showed up that it's one of his friend that paid the man 20k towing money.. The army said we should go back and getting back... The oldest man among the army called me to corner that the situation now should be between me and those who sent the phone... He said I should call them.. I called @bdemix and he said I should call @omicpet and calling @omicpet he asked me did i paid for home delivery and I said yes.. He now asked if I sent my home address.. I said I sent it to @bdemix.. He then asked if I received a call about my package and I said a man called me around 7:30pm yesterday.. He now said since the man called me about my package and the phone already left his jurisdiction and the only thing for me to do is to hold the driver... The Army officer behind is really angry about that statement... But me.. I'm just tired... I don't sleep all night because of my phone and now the phone is nowhere to be found.. I now beg the man to calm down and help me because I'm really tired of everything.... He now went back to the driver to negotiate and the driver said he bought his car just few months ago via higher purchase and still paying debts monthly... But he should be able to pay 200k and keep paying 20k weekly.. The man... His wife and his two children are all crying.. The man said they paid him just 1k for the package... Remember I sent 4k for home delivery... I called @bdemix about it and he said the money is too low... But me I don't just know what to say again or do... I went back home and just trying to get some rest since yesterday.. But I've been trying to reach @omicpet since... Not picking up... And it's like @bdemix is also not ready to say anything about it... And to make things worse... The driver called me not long ago that his car dealer heard about the robbery and the man insist that he must pay his car money finish first and that he the driver will not be able to meet up with the phone money again... I called the army officers and they told me the case is between me and @bdemix and @omicpet that all of us should be able to reach agreement... I called @omicpet again not going through... I don't just have anywhere to than to create dis thread for others nairaland should also see to it and help out... 370k phone and 4k waybill and currently nothing to show for it
You're penny wise, pound foolish. In other currency, you're kobo wise and naira foolish. If not, you'll have bought your phone from a reputable shop like Slot and save yourself all these headaches. Because of Note 20 Ultra, look at all the pains you've put yourself through.
Saifulah: Bross see the carnage we are unleashing on ourselves amidst such natural beauty.
You need to go to Plateau state and see the breathtaking rock formations, undulating plains as far as the eyes can see. There is this village in Taraba where they literally live in the clowds - the beauty is out of this world.
