Family / Re: Woman Narrates How She Survived Violence From The Husband Because Of Her Maid by Curiouscity(m): 7:07pm On Apr 24 |
Biglittlelois: I am sure as a lady, you know that most ladies are good at lying, and acting as victim after causing problems. We should give a margin for lies on every story we read on social media, be it from man or woman. I have seen ( not heard or read), where a women smashed their TV screen, then call the police to report that the husband broke it while hitting her. I have been a witness to a case where the husband hid the car keys so that wife won't go for a party. The wife slap her in front of my apartment, went home to cut herself then call the police. The man was arrested, and almost got sentenced but not for the 11year old daughter's statement to the police. I am not doubting the lady's narration, nor do I believe it 100%. But the way you are defending it, and attacking anyone who questions the veracity of the story, makes me ask, were you there? Remember, as a man, I have sisters and a daughter. As a woman, you have brothers and possibly, a son. Let's do to others what we wish be done to us. 1 Like |

seanery: Have you people contacted police authorities? Go to local Radio and TV stations. Not sure if those ones will need police report before making PSA. This is a clear case of Dementia. Nigeria is not serious with mental illness, especially concerning the vulnerable like elderly people and children. |

obataokenwa: Can we stop all these threats? I am venturing into food processing. I give out samples to people for review periodically. In the last few years, I have gotten very useful and also very ridiculous, insane and insincere reviews from friends, family and even competitors. If anyone, individual or corporate entity, is not ready for these, they should quit. Enough of this bullying. 1 Like |

Family / Re: A Father’ Sacrifice: Man Sells His Car To Fund Son’s Education Abroad by Curiouscity(m): 6:34pm On Mar 22 |
Kobojunkie: But you, @Kobojunkie, are one of the major promoters of "your kids are not your retirement plan". And parents shouldn't have a say in a child's life. I believe the child in question is an adult (based on legal age). Why can't the son take responsibility of his educational pursuit as done in "saner climes"? The earlier we appreciate the uniqueness of our African culture, the better we will live. Not everything has to be done as is seen in the West. Parents sacrifice for their children, and hope the children will in turn care for them in old age. Shekinan! |
Family / Re: 14 Things That Hurt Your Wife by Curiouscity(m): 5:50pm On Mar 11 |
A more balanced heading and write up would be "Things that hurt your spouse ". Women equally do these things, and more, to their husbands. Marriage is not about one person. No one person should be the giver and the other, the taker, in Marriage. 7 Likes 1 Share |
Family / Teach Your Daughter To Say No, And Accept No by Curiouscity(m): 8:23pm On Mar 08 |
As part of today's celebration of international women's day, I reflect on what is becoming of womanhood, and most especially as our daughters grow up to become women. As someone what at some point dated ladies, and later got married, most women don't know how to say their minds. Even some ladies will joke that when a lady says NO, she doesn't mean it. Please, a "No" should mean NO. No ambiguity! If you like a guy, say so. If you don't, say NO, and move on. But we have ladies who say "NO" yet start sending an opposing signal to the guy. This sometimes lead to date r@pe. Parents, please teach your daughters to say NO, and mean No. Another plague ravaging the family structure is the inability of modern women(young ladies) to take "NO". They regard No very personal. And they can use many years to plan for a revenge for a "NO". Many ladies don't know how to handle a "No". A "NO" from parents, friends, boyfriends, husbands, or even a love interest. Please, teach your daughters how to accept "NO". The more prepared our daughters are to say "No" and mean No, and also accept a "No", the higher their self esteem, and chances to succeed in our modern society. Seeking External validation is a faster route to self destruction. |
Family / Re: ‘my Husband Impregnated My Househelp And Kicked Us Out’,- Woman With Kids (vid) by Curiouscity(m): 7:08pm On Mar 06 |
Mindlog: I know some men are sometimes in a haste to throw their wives belongings out, when they have had enough, but pray you don't have to deal with a vindictive and manipulative woman. Some women will set up a scene to destroy you, and make the world to believe their stories. In a woke world of today, a woman is always innocent until proven guilty, while the man is guilty until proven innocent. During the pandemic, my wife ask for something, I explained why we couldn't afford such at that time, that she should be patient. Few days later, the brother called me, stating how important it was to grant my wife's request. I stood my grounds knowing the financial burden her request carried. Then a week later, my brother called on same issue. I got upset, because she was involving everyone around me on an issue we could debate within 2 of us. In front of her, I told my brother that I was going to do it in future when funds are available, but with how she was going with it, I won't ever do it again. When I ended the call, she started screaming and calling the neighbors. It was about midnight. Her story was that I was physically abusing her. Note, I am not defending any man who throws his children out, but most stories are crafted to always paint the man abusive and toxic. And sometimes we believe. 3 Likes |

Agriculture / Re: Is It Time To Embrace GMO Food? by Curiouscity(m): 6:49pm On Feb 15 |
JuanDeDios: I don't think it is hysteria or suspicion. It is scientific. If you have indept idea of the biochemistry of foods, as it relates to the physiology of the human body, you would avoid GMOs as much it is possible. Ask yourself, do the rich owners of these GMO promoting companies consume GMOs? Why do most rich people and renowned scientists avoid GMOs? One of the major precursors of cancer is MUTATION. GMO is produced via mutations. The DNA and RNA backbones of GMOS are already altered, and if they get into the human system may cause a different mutation that may lead to life threatening consequences. GMO should not the first or only option for food security. My opinion though. 81 Likes 9 Shares |

Food / Re: Bad Plantain Chips Rumour: NAFDAC Investigates Melting Rubber Into Oil by Curiouscity(m): 5:23pm On Jan 21 |
CatchMeIfUCanMO: Government money may not be the initial target. Their intent is to spoil market for hustlers making and selling plantain chips. Either to force them to get NAFDAC number or one big chip company is trying to gain more market share, thereby bringing up this unscientific lies to discredit roadside chip sellers. |

comodo: I seriously doubt this. What money cannot do (in Nigeria) does not exist. Some big plantain chip makers want more of the market share. They find ways to demonize the small roadside hustlers and remove them from the business. No chemistry whatsoever can allow plastic to dissolve in hot oil to form a homogeneous mixture. The Agency that went to press with this, without proper investigation is wicked. 2 Likes |
Family / Re: Question For The Day= Suicide Rate by Curiouscity(m): 11:59pm On Jan 11 |
Natbrowny: Precisely 12 years ago, a Ghanaian friend of mine gave me an academic paper (sometimes called Term Paper) written by a Nigerian student in his class, to read. The paper attempted to look at the high rates of suicide in the western world vis a vis our African countries. One of the points the students raised was the individualistic life in the western world versus our communal living arrangement. The student opined that in Africa, people are more open to share their challenges with immediate and extended family members, hence reducing the level of depressive thoughts. A person's personal problem was shared by many close family or community members. The paper made sense to me at that time. But that was written at the time social media was evolving or say not wide spread in our communities. As such, perhaps, we didn't hear much about many suicide cases. Until recently, discussions around suicide were heavy and sometimes done in hush-hush voices. Suicide was frown up as a taboo in almost every African community. With the interconnectivity of the world via internet and social media, all that has changed. We are becoming more self-centered. People are shamed and dragged on social media for even minute mistakes and challenges. We joke about suicide cases. We started seeing comments like "go and hug a transformer", " go drink snipper", and other damaging statements. NO EMPATHY at all. What could be done to reduce depression and depression induced suicides? 20 -50 years ago, people were less educated, tge standard living was lower, yet people were happier, and had better skills in handling life challenges. They also had family and community members who could help them navigate rough patches in life. Maybe we should look back at certain aspects of our society and cultural lives that were helpful and not throw everything away on the platter of modernism and wokism. |
Family / Re: After 5years Of Emotional Abuse Should I Give A 2nd Chance by Curiouscity(m): 11:26pm On Jan 09 |

Family / Re: After 5years Of Emotional Abuse Should I Give A 2nd Chance by Curiouscity(m): 11:21pm On Jan 09 |
Ahnii:While some of the stories there are terrible, up to 35-45% of those stories won't be confirmed as being true if subjected to cross examinations. Some men are loud, cheats(both genders cheat) and insensitive, but the way some women lie against their innocent husbands is scary. Most men are just walking corpse based on the lies heap on their heads. |
Family / Re: After 5years Of Emotional Abuse Should I Give A 2nd Chance by Curiouscity(m): 11:08pm On Jan 09 |
Justkatty: Is it not funny how we quickly generalize things like this? Bad behaviors are not gender specific. Except for some details here, I would have said it is a guy I am close to writing this. He is going through something almost identical to this. Or would I say his own is worse, because the wife's family tried to rubbish him too. Terrible human beings exist in both men and women. |

@maureensylvia, congratulations. Thank you for the detailed description of the procedure. What I don't understand is why NAFDAC officers in the SE/SS seem to have different processes. They are never straight forward down here. Roger or brown envelope is a must, no matter how you try. As a matter of fact, most federal officials in the North hardly take bribe compared to those in the south. Anyway, that is a digress. We move! 12 Likes 1 Share |
Family / Re: Different View,my Wife Is Seeing Me As A Devil by Curiouscity(m): 12:04am On Jan 05 |
Klass99: Are you for real? And a woman? Maybe there is hope. The modern woman doesn't believe in the headship of a man, in practice. The religious ones do everything to avoid the biblical passages that reference man as the head. This particular issue of man leadership in spiritual things have destroyed many homes. Even if I lead prayers for hours, my wife will still complain that it's not long enough to elicit God's blessings. She doesn't not only speak in this trained tongue (yes she attended a class forit), but writes her prayers request in gibberish (she calls it tongue), so that I, the "devil" cannot read it. Op, I will ask you to watch your back. This kind of stuff if not handled well, and early enough, will end in separation at best, or kpai you at worst. She would be told of certain things to do, to prove that you are the devil. 2 Likes |

Sadly, in a haste to get more things done, we sometimes don't start early to teach them (boys/girls) how bath properly. 6 Likes |

yomi007k: Where has this gotten us to? With Nigerians leaving in droves, do they denounce their religion and marital status to work for employers in Western countries? In western countries, most employers give coffee/tea breaks every 2-3hours.

recklesslove: While this is true, almost all Nigerians are conditioned to believe everything is spiritual. *A lady delays in getting pregnant, it most be the parents in-law. Some even accuse the husband. Not looking back at reckless life she lived before, and how that could affect her chances of getting pregnant. Or just age factor. * A child is born with health challenges. If the father is rich, then he has used the child for his money. If the father is poor, then one rich uncle or old woman has given the child "witchcraft ". * A wasteful husband/wife is accusing someone of being the cause of their poverty, without seeing how they waste money to impress their peers.

Jobs/Vacancies / Why Do Nigerian Employers Request Irrelevant Information? by Curiouscity(m): 5:58pm On Dec 12, 2023 |
Why do Nigerians expect things to change, yet we still do things the old way? Someone just sent me a link for one of the states' organized Entrepreneurship Accelerator Programme (EAP). A quick look at the form, I noticed that the request the following: * Marital Status * Number of Children / age of children * Religion and Denomination What on earth is the usefulness of these information for a training program? This is also of all employers in Nigeria. In fact, most CV (resumè) formats in Nigerian public and private sectors have space for above information.

Family / Re: He Walked Out On Me by Curiouscity(m): 6:48pm On Dec 04, 2023 |
I find it hard to believe that a man will leave his family because his wife is not working or earning any income. Sounds absurd. I believe one of these 3 scenarios is likely going on: A. The man is in the hands (call it laps) of another woman. He is using the silly excuse of the wife not working to leave. B. There is another reason why the man left. But the OP is being economical with the truth. I have seen enough in my personal experience and those of friends, to know most of what we hear from ladies when relationships/marriages hit the rocks are not true. Most ladies like playing the victim cards. They tell the stories that will gain them more pity. C. Could be related to how she handles the little money the man brings in, or her attitude towards looking for the job. But if it is true that he left because the wife has no job, then the man still needs some growing up to do. And I will join others to advise OP to be very serious in looking for a job, to develop a new mindset of a new life without such a guy. 3 Likes |
Food / Re: Clay Oven In Nigeria. by Curiouscity(m): 6:43pm On Nov 23, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: Kobojunkie, the OP made some valid points. If I understand him well, he didn't say commercial bakeries should use clay ovens. He was talking about home baking. He even mentioned the advantage of home baking for people with some health challenges. In the west, many households bake their bread and other baked foods. They are able to do this because of constant power. Sadly, in Nigeria we hardly do homesteading or homemade goods. For few people who are interested to bake their bread at home, what do you suggest given the poor power supply in Nigeria? Nigerians should learn how to make lots of their food at home if they can. Foods such as bread, pizza, yogurt, wines/beer, all have homemade versions in most countries, except Nigeria. 1 Like |
