yak:What l will tell you is this: Since your funds are limited, build something that is not too elaborate. Use say 1/3 of your land (at the back) as a start. Build your 3-bed flat on it. Make it very minimal in design No unnecessary frills. (Time to show-off another build is just around the corner) Build for functionality now No parapet, no extravagant Pillar (functional columns are always necessary) No Hoods or fancy Roofing (Do a flat Roof to save 1/3 on cost of roofing) Supervise the building (as always be on ground). Do all purchases yourself, after a careful market sampling Your #2Million will almost finish your house, as long as you dont try to bite more than you can chew. Start now, l wish you well |
lexaydfg:ASKING QUESTIONS leads to getting FRAMED ANSWERS..... when everyone knows the goal is to make a 'decision" about the relationship! What you get are outright lies, half-truths and cooked-up stories! DONT ASK QUESTIONS so you wont be TOLD NO LIES! I hope we all remember that cliche? ![]() What "l think" you need to do are: - Be yourself at all times! Let your very 'baddest' and good part show. Just live normally, dont try ot impress your lover. - Observe and be super observant, taking note of minuet gestures, body language, reactions to events (good and bad),, choice of words in situations, etc - Be spiritual (meditation,, prayers, etc). These things focus your power of perception. You need to be "perceptive" of your lover, at all times - Be "extrapolative", that is, be able to stretch events into the future. Okay, this might be a little hard to explain but l will try. When something happens, observe how your lover responds or reacts to it (in action or in words)... then imagine say in a few years down the line and yo are married, how will this his/her "genuine reaction" affect your marriage, if and when you get married to him/her? Exp: Say your girl friend 'disses' he friend because she could not fulfil a situation that her friend is expected to fulfil. Say she retorts: can you imagine, she is expecting me to loan her my own money, when she never told me how she spends her own money. Now that she is in need she is running to me, abeg, make she swerve. Most guys will hear the above and just laugh over it and say: Dont mind her, she think say you be mugun! ![]() Now, inside that seemingly harmless or even justifiable statement, is a lot of information that a would-be partner can process! *What you have is a lady who is uncaring! *What you have is a lady who is selfish! *What you have is someone who is self-centred! Now, if such behaviour is her "norm" and is repeated often, then you can extrapolate it into your marriage and ask yourself, (if you dont already know), How will she behave/react, if l lose my job and does not earn income for a considerable time, being unable to perform my financial responsibility to our marriage? The answer is in those statements you heard. *She will Bleep-you up. *She will remind you it is her money *She will take control and become the boss, to your resentment. *She will starve you of funds *She will tell her friends, how you have become 'useless' and no longer the 'man of the house' The list goes on. The thing is, BEHAVIOUR is not a one-day thing, it is ACQUIRED over many, many years and the good part is you cant also CHANGE IT overnight! So, observing the little nuances of your lover is a good way of ANSWERING all the UNSPOKEN QUESTIONS that you have. Observe, observe and observe. But it takes some level of intelligence to be able to interpret what you are observing. Most of us even observe these things but we cant make any useful deductions from them. Sitting your Bae or Guy down and asking a long list of questions, is a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. You will be properly lied to. ![]() If you do due-diligence and you are satisfied, then it is worth taking the risk NB: A female was used as an example in the above scenario, just for ease of explanation but does not imply that such action is restricted to women alone. There are guys who will do the same thing. |
LifeIsGuhd: Toks2008:Hehehehe! Two of you abi! ![]() Just know that l am "WATCHING" from one corner like that..... @Toks: I have taken time to read each of your responses and l can say that they really made sense. Marriage is the most complicated of human relationships because both are strangers from Adam but when married, they have so much expectations (even ones that were not there during courtship!) of each other so much so that if care is not taken, it may cause pressure. A Spouse (husband or wife) is expected to stand-by-you, when you are facing challenges, just like you both enjoyed the proceeds of hard-work, when times were good. What we have now are "fair-weather" spouse! Money-go, Spouse-go ...or start making trouble! ![]() And like l said before, this happens when your spouse has not seen the worst of you. If say, your wife was with you when you had money/job and she still remains steadfast with you lost your job (all during courtship), it wont be new to her, if the same thing repeats itself during marriage. She will know it is just a phase and you will get out of it. That is a FRIEND, who becomes a WIFE. Most spouses are not the "friend" of their spouse (partner). Most wives will start nagging you, insulting and dis-respecting you, once your income dips or you lose your job and cant provide enough money to meet their expectations. That is when she would start issuing orders to you, shedding responsibilities to you in an autocratic manner and reminding you that she needs more "freedom"! That is a recipe for marital breakup. Most husbands also would not stick around, if the wife faces challenges common with women: Child bearing! Especially if the man has 'no-fault' (as in he is fertile and ready!). That is when he would start singing 'polygamy' in your ears, reminding you that his friends son is entering secondary school next year. But what a man should be doing to his wife at that point, is helping her to overcome the trauma she is going through (l dont want to discuss if the effect of such difficulties has to do with a previous "wayward way of life" during spinsterhood... reason why all these so-called "slay ladies" need to think twice and not waste their "Years of Youth" .The husband should be sticking to his wife, encouraging her, giving her confidence, re-assuring her of his love (she is doubting herself already!) and reminding her that he would do any and everything to ensure her dreams are met, including private and personal prayers with her. So, its is a human thing, though very bad, for a spouse not to persevere and remain steadfast with their husband/wife, in challenging times. "FRIENDS are KNOWN in PROSPERITY...but they are PROVEN in ADVERSITY". Are you your spouse's FRIEND...? |
MizMyColi:Thanks for the compliment Ma. |
Toks2008:Do you think her "financial dependence" was what caused the marital breakdown? Do you think being financially independent would prevent all those things that led to the "bad feelings" in the past? Reflect for a minute and think about the starting years when things were rosy and lovely. How come financial dependence did not affect feelings back then? Financial dependence may become an issue when Divorce is being considered and the man has to fork out money to maintain the ex-spouse without income I say that it was when other problems crashed the "good feelings", that the financial dependence became obvious and caused further problems. It was not the initial cause of the problem. When LOVE vanishes from a marriage, every other thing becomes a PROBLEM But When there is LOVE in a marriage, every other PROBLEM sort of Vanishes or become inconsequential happy you have both moved on. |
Katier00:You are sooo wrong! Things like Money become important like you put it, because your marriage is already failed and dead, in the first place. If the marriage was what a marriage is supposed to be, then one spouse money, is also the money of the other spouse. As a matter of fact, the working spouse works hard for only one reason: To please and provide for the other spouse! My wife works but l cant sat categorically how much she earns as of today, because l dont really care as long as she is fine (l know she earns well) but she tells me that she is not contented unless she spends from my own sweat! So, giving her money has become a ritual sort of. She does not really need it but she still gets it. Women...ehn! if she were to stop working today, she will still live the way she lives when she was working; because l will ensure that happens. ![]() I have seen marriages where, for the sake of proper upbringing of the children, one spouse who was earning less but has a very good relationship with the children (husband), agreed to lay-off work for five years (bathing, feeding, school runs, lesson runs, e.t.c) were all done by him while the wife was at work. Her salary is transferred into a joint account and both have access (including ATMS) to the same account. It was never an issue because both understood that they are doing it for their family and their marriage. It also never made the wife disrespect her husband such that everyone envied the man so much and heaped praise on his wife... for being the symbol of motherhood. Maybe you were disrespectful of the same man whose income you depend on? (Just guessing, l know that when marriage goes wrong and love flies out the window, a lot of nasty things can happen). But dont use your own bad situation, as a yardstick to generalise here. |
I married my Enemy, we hate each other back then and we were very nasty to each other (and you can imagine how enemy looks at only the bad sides of their enemies! ).- We went our ways and fate brought us together again, after many years and we have matured! - Then we started being less critical and became just Hi-hi friends. - Then we started realising that "this person is not that bad as l used to think"? - Then we became "good friends" and make jest of each other and "those days" when it was fire for fire! ![]() - This is when we realised that we knew too much about the other person! ![]() - Then friendship got so good and so close that one couldn't do without seeing the other for even just one day! - Then each person said: l cant marry you because you are my friend and l dont want to lose such a good friend like you! - Then each person began to realize that life cant be just complete, without the other person around..... and that is when LOVE overcame all other outstanding obstacles. In our case, all the questions were not asked directly but all questions were answered by real life events that unfolded with time. Marry your FRIEND and all other things will fall in-place! Mind you, your 'FRIEND' is not necessarily that person that smiles at you, say good things about you or stick around you just because things are rosy for you! Your real friend is that person who has seen THE WORST of YOU...and still thinks you are wonderful to be with. He/She has seen you in Poverty, in Anger, in Sickness, in unfaithfulness (cheating!), without make-up , smelled your mouth when you have not brushed your teeth Nothing surprises them anymore. Married to that same "enemy" of mine now, for over a decade! ..and l am loving it like Mad! |
Odilafta1:They may come as extra benefits but just make sure you have a backup residence handy cos if Landlord catch you, na that day you will leave. That one does not even need quit notice! ![]() |
bumi10:Every House is deserted and you can pick and chose! In places like Abuja and Lagos or PH, the House would have been paid for and occupied, while you are still ticking the boxes, 1, 2, 3... ![]() |
sleemfesh: Very thoughtful! Though, the Veranda is not meant for Generator (l would quit any tenant that dirties the Veranda or walls of their rented Flat with generator fumes and black oil), all Generators stay in the generator bay, for safety, cleanliness and peace of mind) Also, you can ascertain the level of flooding or not, of a house/area in the DRY season, by just looking at the Walls closest to the base of the house. A Flood usually leave a mark of its highest level on such walls or the Walls are "greenish" with algae growth, from previous water ingress. Most landlords have discovered that "House Agents" are just out for their Commission and as such, refuse to give their house to Agents, instead opting for "Direct Interview" (know your tenant, KYT) and then a Law Firm to tidy things up. Most Agents would bring ANYBODY that can handover money quickly, to rent a house because as soon as that is done, their commission is guaranteed and they move to the next house! The Landlord is the one saddled with a bad tenant for years to come. |
Afonjashapmouth:If they dont, how would they attract attention? All na advertisement now. ![]() |
thorpido:Oloshi, Fraudulent Criminal trying to dupe people on Nairaland. You certainly can comprehend simple constructs! I know you are not educated at all otherwise, you will know that one spouse, is the next of kin of the other spouse, in a legal marriage. It is only dangerous women like you, women who cant ever have a peaceful home because they dont trust their spouse, that jump their spouse and make someone else their next of kin. Small time now, you will be crying like Mercy Aihigbe, when th eman panel-beat your oblong head. ![]() I am sure, in your warped, lack of brain matta, anyone who acts a thief in a film, is also a thief in real life. ![]() You need a brain transplant! ![]() |
Jman06:I am sure you dont know the meaning of the words you are using in constructing your sentences. When you use "OBVIOUSLY"..., yet you have not put anything forward, to show any connection between the Husband and How the wife died...and you say it is obvious? Are you an obvious Heediot"? Really, burying her on the land, as a way of "showing respects to her"? Are you a kid or some intellectually challenged? ![]() The family members might also have an eye for the land! They may want to seize and sell it. |
femi4:Kidnappers and rapist den! |
Magodo of all places? Only God knows how many Kidnappers still remain in that place, apart from Evans? Dont let "Evans the Kidnapper" know there is a new "dollar" in town! he might just run away from the Police cell and come to kidnap the innocent man ![]() |
kiddoiLL:Some Pastors sef, are Kidnappers themselves! One was recently busted when he severed and buried the Head of a 7year old Boy under the grounds of his Alter. Maybe Adeboye should have informed the Police of how to catch Evans but now that the Police have caught him, silly religious Maggas want to take credit! |
FreshShavedBalls:Everything about Nigeria's Nationality has been submerged in Islamic colors and symbols. From the color of our Passport, the Coat of Arms, the Currency, the National Assembly building, ...just name it, they are all designed to protray Nigeria as an Islamic country, by those Military Dictators of our early days, who are northerners.. Just ask anyone to explain the Coat of Arms of the Nigerian Army to you and you will `laugh, wondering if it was an Islamic Army or that of a SECULAR STATE? |
stephanie11:Police can lie sha! So, this is all you will recover from Armed Robbers terrorising the whole of Lagos and Ogun State? Even ordinary "Evans the kidnapper" had almost two thousand rounds of live ammunition on hand. How many people will these six kill with "One Local Pistol and One catridge"? ![]() what you arrested are just Area Boyz causing trouble in front of the Hotel. Police, liar-liar! ![]() |
figure007:God is not bothered, especially about the Poor one....or cant you see them on this thread, celebrating CRIMINALITY? Their suffer-head just start. ![]() |
OZAOEKPE: Come and see Kidnapper Evan's people o! In essence, you position was based on the fact that "Tinubu was discharged", therefore all other must be discharged? No wonder the Northern Youths gave you people a marching order! ![]() |
etainment360:Anyone in their right mind, who marries a woman with all those attributes, deserves whatever he gets! Abi women don finish for town? |
234ng44uk: Calling them Herdsmen was just a "fancy name" to shield them from arrest, manufactured by their wicked Fulani backers up-North |
praizblog:How this sort of fugly person became a celebrity, is still a wonder? Nigerians sha. |
InvertedHammer:Best response! ![]() He was a member of the CDA, attends and is vocal in CDA meetings and was always concerned about "improving security" in the area! Every other member just knew him as a "business man"...... a very rich one at that. I still think we need to look inwards, especially at the bad eggs in the police, who give information to, and protect criminals. |
JamieHotSource:Are those real pictures of real humans or just two Dolls placed side-by-side? Baby Kingsway of those days! ![]() |
EgunMogaji:Haaa! Debowel ke? You are really badt, and to think you want to do it without anaesthesia! EgunMogaji:That is the irony of Life! The evil people create horror for others, terrify them day and night, bring tears and sorrow into the life of their innocent Victims, yet Nigeria’s billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudi Dumeme Onuamadike, alias Evans wants to protect himself from invaders! Has he forgotten there is KARMA? But if you look closely, you will notice that the Top of the Gate itself is not protected by the Electric fence! This is the case with almost all Electric Fence protection l have seen and to me, that constitutes a 'point of weakness' because it is said that your Security is only as good as the weakest point". As a matter of fact, when the Police IRT were finding it difficult to gain access into his house at Magodo, one of them climbed the Fence and opened the Gate from the inside! ![]() On interview, every member of his team, including a COUPLE, the wife is named Ogechi Amadi (she is in-charge of cooking for the Victims, during their period of Capture at their hideout), while the husband is named Uchechukwu Amadi, Native of Anambra State, longtime Evans Boy and head of the detention Camp in Igando. *Felix Chinemerem 36yrs Native of ArichukwuOhafia LGA of Abia State second in command of Evans. * Nwosu Chikodi Chukwuma aka Sudo 42yrs, 3rd in Command to Evans. He has over 20yrs experience in Armed robbery and about 8yrs experience in Kidnapping. * Suoyo Paul aka Nwana 42yrs Native of Bayelsa States Gang member and Supplier of Rifles and Ammunitions to Evans. * Ikenna Emeka 28yrs Native of Anambra State, denounced him! Such is life. The pain and sorrow these people went through, which Six young children of a Govt School in Epe are still going through as of TODAY, is better imagined. BTW: Can the Moderator of this thread explain to us, why he deleted my post? Does it have to do with who the Kidnappers are or is it now a crime to state FACTS in one's post or does the Mod have any interest in protecting the identity of these Kidnappers? I am just asking aloud o. |
thorpido:So, you will leave your Husband and children ......and make your siblings the beneficiary of your property? Are you so *******? No ownder some of you get murdered by your siblings, you made them do it. ![]() |
Zither:You have no idea, what you are talking about! Just see the way you jumped to a silly conclusion, without any supporting evidence! I have quoted a part of the story below, to explain what is going-on for people like you: The incident, which took place at Oke-Andi area of Ilorin, Kwara State, sent tongues wagging as to why a cleric would take such a step over a woman that was married to him for 17 years and had four kids before she died. There were speculation that the cleric had attempted to sell the uncompleted property and was concerned that burying the woman on the site would discourage prospective buyers from the property.From the above, it is obvious that there is enemity between the Pastor (Husband) and the family of his wife. But his wife, is his wife. Whatever thy have, are JOINTLY OWNED, in Law. Now, fast forward. The Wife is dead. The family wanted her buried on the land she bought while alive and a wife to the Pastor. Question is: Why did they insist that she must be buried on that particular piece of land (when there is a Cemetery in place). The answer lies in the fact that those family members are looking for a means to start trouble with the husband so they can claim that land. What is their business with where a Husband buries his wife or whether he wants to sell the land, thereafter? If it was the Man that died, is that how they will be preventing his wife from disposing-off some of his properties, is she is in need of money? Or is it not money that would be required to bury him and look after the children left behind? The Pastor is wise, IMO, because why make the land un-buyable by burying the dead owner on it? These same 'family people' will not bath an eyelid, to sell the lace, once they lay their hands on it, and will exhume the dead woman's body sharp-sharp. And YES, the living spouse has full control over the property of his deceased spouse and is empowered by law, to do as she/he wishes on them. Those GREEDY family members should feck-off and stop putting their nose into other people's property. Lazy ingrates always waiting for someone to die so they can hoover around like Vultures, to come and share property left behind |
RexEmmyGee:Stop acting dumb! Do you even understand the meaning of the phrase Virginity? Do men have any Hymen that is broken, the first time they have sex? Have you even ever wondered why God/nature made it so? Do you wonder why it is women that carry pregnancy ....and men dont, even when it is both of them that had the sex leading to the pregnancy? It is men that need protection, from devilish women like you! ![]() |
ikbnice:Any House, built on a foundation of LIES, must CRUMBLE! Why lie about it? That same Night, l will do "Back-to-Sender" and count my loses! ![]() Its not always too late to start all over again. ![]() |
