For a 20 years old girl to get married, is it right? .......... According the her parents, the guy came when she who just 18 years and still in secondary school but was rejected by the parents bcoz she was underaged and still in ss3 .

Then after 2 years the guy came back again and still begs the parents to marry her but she had wrote jamb this year and is still waiting for the screening and admission to commence. The only reason that guy wanted to get married to the girl is because he said that he like natural fair skin ladies, intelligent and from the same village ( home town ). He had promised her that he would take care of her education when married to her . From the parents view, the guy is from a very good home.

They asks my opinion on the matter and what I thought is that the girl has not matured enough. I hadn't reply to the parents so I seek to get information first before replying. .

The girl in question is my little sister. .. Please I need advice from married or someone that has an experience of it. .. Please

Your question really shows the level of poverty in the land! I am sure if the parents are OK in taking care of their daughter, they won't entertain the rubbish the guy is proposing to your sister. If indeed money no dey in the house, you can then trade her future with this guy. Shalom

Nigerian girls are not smiling o, even in this harsh economic situation

Yesterday being Saturday, i decided to hang out a while. I was sipping my cold goldberg peacefully at one of the joints in town when my phone rang, saw it was a flash and decided to call back to knw who flashed me since I didn't save d number. I got to knw it was a girl I met a week ago, Jennifer, a student of Uniben as she claimed (because I've strong doubt now). She asked me where I was and i told her the place, giving her description. In less than 40 mins she appeared on a keke. I paid for her fare and asked her what she wuld like to have. She requested for the biggest size of the peppered fish that was available, with cabbage and other spicy stuffs (3, 500 naira). She also asked for 2 bottles of Snap drinks (500 naira) i come look am with one kain bad eye,when she talk that one. I don vex by that time.

Nonetheless, I didn't bother much because I thought both of us wuld still be the ones to enjoy the delicious fish. I started realizing the scam when she insisted that she want to take the fish home so that her friends culd share with her, saying they're "friends for life" E come be like say na film i dey watch. My eyes come dey turn me up and down because Naija economy no get joy now.

What was on my mind now was to make her pay for her greed in the bedroom because the waitress clearly stated that there were other cheaper ones but she displayed greed by going for the pocket-wrecker package!

I was now thinking of how to convince her to sleep over at my house since it's weekend. i gathered courage and made the request. To my greatest surprise, she didn't object but said she wuld get to her house first and drop the fish for her friends. My adrenaline was high! I stopped the nearest keke after footing the bills. She was directing the keke rider. we got to a street and she asked the keke rider to stop in front of a house, she requested that I give her 2k to sort out some things with her friends. I didn't hesitate since she wuld be sleeping at my place. She went into the building and that was the end! I waited for long, by then, the keke man was getting worried. I went into the building and discovered that the fence at the back of the compound had fallen. I met a young man washing clothes who told me she saw the girl entering the next street through the building. When I told him that she's the one I've bin waiting for, he told me that people normally pass through the compound to the next street, that it's a short-cut road!

Each time I call her line and the other line she flashed me with, different girls keep picking the calls, telling me that is it because of my small money that I'm disturbing their lines! I now feel she belongs to a cartel of runs girls who will stop at nothing to milk any hustling guy dry. I've made a resolution that any day I see her anywhere as far as we are both in this country, I'll make sure she vomits my 6k in cash or kind! No be 4 dis harsh economy o!

Would have believed your story but I have this inkling that it is cooked. Guys are too smart these days for such scam from a lady. If it true, drop her number here or a snap chat of your chats!

Hemanwel:
Oh ok!Thanks very much sis!I so appreciate.

Nevertheless, endeavour to patronise those we already vouch for on this forum like pattybf and the likes.

NairaMaster1:
Because salary alone is not enough. But ask the civil servants close to your areas for clarification

I beg to disagree with you on this. If salary is not enough then they should look elsewhere for a better salary.

The ones I even hate most is that of the security guys at the gates. They want to you to settle them before they do their duties. What is this country becoming! This is seriously appalling OP. To make the matter worse, SERVICOM that should checkmate this is also part of the problem!

My guide on the road has always been : Never give the original of your documents to any uniformed man on the road. Make sure you have the photocopies as many as possible. If the mama in the story had given the scumbag a photocopy, I am sure OP would have been able to get off the case without any issue.

My 50kobo though.

IceDude:
That reminds me, what about Diezani Maduekwe? Any news 4rm her?

Good observation.

TV01:
Unfortunately, many marry these days with divorce as an "option" in mind. And marring ignorantly means it will be an outcome for many...and it's never forward as in progress

That's the whole thrust of this OP, it rarely brings true lasting peace and always a lot of hurt and pain..

No the bible does not support divorce of a consummated marriage. But even if it did, does it prescribe divorce ahead of forgiveness, reconciliation and healing

Roger that...and that....amen!



Yes many are. And even if it's only 1, it's worth saying.


Well lets hope that neither he or anyone else finds themselves in that situation - understanding and preparation help here . And if they do, pleasing God - who gives grace - may be a better perspective than disappointing Satan . You sound embittered. Pele .

Thanks for this response.

5 Lies Satan Wants You To Believe About Divorce

One of the most painful things I see as a pastor is families torn apart by divorce.  Being a Christian doesn’t seem to insulate you from the divorce virus either.   50% of all Christian marriages will fall into divorce’s vicious snare this year too and many of them will end because of 5 lies Satan wants you to believe.

Married friends, here are 5 lies Satan will whisper in your ears to get you to call it quits on your marriage.

1.  God Wants Me To Be Happy

Satan wants you to buy into the idea that above anything else your happiness is preeminent.  He wants you to believe that the person at the office, the girl on the screen, or the guy at the gym will provide the “fun” and “happiness” that your spouse isn’t providing.  If you believe this, divorce becomes the means to obtaining the mirage known as happiness.  The truth is divorce will give you anything but happiness.  It will rob you of your joy, peace, trust, and will stain not only your life but your entire family.  Happiness is not found in the lies of Satan.

2.  My Kids Will Be Better Off

Satan wants you to look at your children and believe they would be better off if you and your spouse didn’t fight anymore and lived separately.  He whispers in your ear that if you just get rid of him or her your kids will be less stressed and will thrive!  After all don’t they deserve better?  Sadly we listen to Satan and not our kids.  Ask any kid of divorced parents (excluding abusive situations) and they will tell you the splitting of their home destroyed a piece of them.  “Better off” isn’t a perfect family with no problems it’s a family that stays together despite ups and down.  “Better off” is two parents that fight for their family and don’t bail when things get hard.  “Better off” is setting an example for your children so that they are not scared of relationships for life, but gives them an example to emulate.  “Better off” doesn’t listen to the lies of Satan.

3.  My Spouse Deserves Better

Satan wants you to be a martyr by believing the lie that your spouse deserves better than you.  He will remind you of all your wounds, baggage, and faults and then juxtapose them against what appears to be your spouse’s perfection.  He’ll tap and tap and tap against your spirit until you open the cage door on your marriage so that you can allow your spouse to fly free.  The glaring problem with that logic is that it requires you to have operation of your spouse’s mind, spirit, and decision making.  Somehow you  arrogantly put yourself in charge of what they want and you decide their future for them.  Guess what?  That ain’t your decision to make…that’s 100% theirs.  Grow up and stop listening to the lies of Satan.

4.  Things Will Never Get Better

Satan loves to tell you that your marriage is hopeless and things will never get better.  He will trap you in the darkest corner of the cave of your relationship and have you hold your hand up to your face to show you there is no hope of seeing light.  He wants you to believe that the best has already happened and the future is not bright but dark as night. So why try?  It’s better to just cut your losses, part ways, hit the reset button, and lick your wounds as you limp away.  Hopefully you can heal up enough to grab another Kleenex in the box of life and find a new partner.  One with more hope.  Can I remind you of something?  Life is tough and when you enter into marriage it becomes part of your life so therefore marriage is tough too.  Buck up buttercup and get back in the fight.  Stop making long term decisions for short term problems.  Satan is a pathetic, lying, scum of the earth whose only goal is to rob you of any hope.  Don’t give in to him when God has a light that breaks through all darkness and can sunburn your marriage with His light.

5.  Divorce Isn’t That Big Of A Deal To God

Satan’s biggest lie is that God doesn’t really care that much about your marriage and whether or not it survives.  God has bigger things to worry about than whether or not you and the Mrs last until death do you part.  He has a whole universe to keep from spiraling out of control so why in the world would He care if you leave him for the “greener grass” on the other side of the street?  The problem is that God cares about all the things that He is a part of and that He made.  Marriage is no exception.  He is the bond, the glue, the third strand, the binding force that adheres us to our spouses in good marriages and bad.  It’s a sacred union that God in fact used as the imagery for the relationship of the church on earth and Jesus himself.  Don’t believe the lie of a lonely and hopeless Satan who has no chance of reconciliation with the father.  Instead believe the Truth of the Father who gave His one and only Son not only to save you from your sin, but to save your marriage from anything it’s up against.

So stop listening to the lies of Satan and start listening to the voice of Christ telling you that you CAN make it.  Put the pen down, stop the lawyers, put an end to the finger pointing and embrace the peace found in reconciliation.  Let the God of healing do what He does best.  Heal you.

If this is indeed her speech, the writer didn't do well. The speech is not coherent and cohesive at all.

In multi-syllable words, vowels at the end of a syllable can say either their short or long sound, and you have to know the real word in order to know how to pronounce it. In the case of refrigerator, broken up like this: re/fri/ger/a/tor, the i is "open," and it's supposed to be pronounced short.

I guess people got bored of saying five-syllables when talking about an appliance, so they started referring to it with the "fridge" sound, and then they had to figure out how to spell it.

If you look at the "fridge" part of refrigerator, it's spelled frige. It doesn't look like the sound "fridge," right?

Now that it's a single-syllable word, the i isn't open anymore and its controlled by the e. That e is only a letter away from the i, which make the i sound long like it is in "bike" or "ice." But if you get rid of the e, now you have "frig," with a hard g. So we need to hang on to the e to keep that j sound.

If you put in a silent d, then it keeps the e from controlling the i, and now the i has the same short sound that matches the word refrigerator.

The "blocker d" is pretty common, and it's doing a similar function in words like fudge and grudge and bridge.

(That being said, these "rules" don't work for all spellings. I suspect people were consciously trying to spell fridge to "look right," as opposed to the thousands of words in English whose spellings follow strange and bizarre rules we barely remember. Like "vestige" totally works against the rules I just gave. That's English for you.)

Where's that cable located, how can one see it Honda accord 2004

The cable is very close to the shock absorber. You may need to turn your steering to the far right end to see it. I discovered that the cable is at both sides of the front shocks. Hope this is helpful?

richgang:
lol, actually I was actually pissed off Yesterday, I came here to ask for help, instead of him to help, he diverted from my post and was forming I too know, jun.kies everywhere

Richgang, and obviously you re such a rude fella. And I don't think you really deserve to be helped. I have always had this inkling that no kids in this section of nairaland, but having a rethink now.

Even if you don't know who Gazzuzz is, you still have no reason to respond like that. You need to tender your expressed apology to him for using that word "mu**".

BTW, Gazzuzz is a mech engineer who makes this forum lively for us as car owners. If not for people like him, we would be wasting money on our cars every week.

dialolodge:
My camry 2.2 99 model power steering pump failed leading to the steering not turning freely without much exertion of muscle. I have tried replacing the pump but it appears that after 3 different pumps were fixed, the car steering remains the same. My mechanic is suggesting that it may be from my steering rack, don't know how possible that is. Please Gazzuzz and othe auto gurus in the house I need advise on what to do as I am losing sleep over this.
Note: steering rack was replaced about 4 months ago.

I had a power steering issue recently with my Rav 4 2007. But mine is electric anyways. After scanning it, but no immediate cause or solution, I decided to be using it like that. I later found out that my speedometer too stopped working and the brake light was always on.

I used it like that for about 2 months. But a week ago, I checked the front tire,passenger side, and and saw that there was a cable detached there. I connected this cable and to my utter surprise the whole problems got resolved when I started the car. PS lights off, speedometer working again, brake light off, check engine light off.

I know yours is not electric, but you can check for this cable too.

Gracias in advance bro.

My own is, when is MTN 4g network fully starting? We are already in July!

lonelydora:
Exactly the issue here.

Please where do I locate these in a rav4 2006?

princemillla:
OK good, switch your ac on and check if the pulley on the compressor pick, if it does and it's not getting cold. Change the compressor at once. But if it's not picking it means u r Gass is low. And wen Gass is low, some compressor will not pick. Meaning ur system is leaking

Pulley not picking. I just checked the gas again. Alas, I no gas coming out! Guess the guy only released my little Gass inside, as he first released certain gas then in the name of air before Recharging me. And his own gas not properly done. Well I will need to take it to another person be that. Thanks for your suggestions anyways.

princemillla:
My Lil suggestion sir. If the compressor no longer chill but it will pick after you switch the ac on, it means your compressor is running on low oil. Hence, the I will suggest you replace it immediately.

To determine this...

Look for the Gass refilling port, open it and use small stick to press the valve for Gass pop. If there is Gass, then it's low oil, but it there is no Gass, then it means either there is a leakage and ur compressor no longer rolling due to low Gass.


Check and get back

Thanks for the prompt response. I just did as you suggested. There is gas. What are you suggesting I change now? The compressor or oil?

I use a RAV4 07 edition. I recently observed that it at times won't chill as I wanted. So, to correct this I took it to a gas guy to help top the gas. To my utter surprise, the AC has been blowing hot since he topped it. And when I complained to the guy he said he is not really an AC person and suggested I take it for service.

Please any good AC guy in the house staying around Ogba, Agege and Ikeja? I don't want to give it to just any half-baked AC technician to avoid more damage.

Whoever says this is witch hunting needs to check his/her conscience. I thank God for the new dispensation.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested a former gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Iyiola Omisore. Omisore was picked up earlier this morning in Abuja and has since been in the custody of the anti-graft agencies facing interrogation for his role in the election funding fraud.

EFCC sources told SaharaReporters that the Senator received over N1.3billion from funds pilfered from the office of the National Security Adviser to fund and rig Governor Ayodele Fayose into office in 2014.


Iyiola Omosire was People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Osun state guber election in 2014

.......The responses to the question is what I am actually waititng for! I could be next you know #congrats bro!

Once again, thanks to you all for rejoicing with me. There are so many questions asked that I dont even know where to start. Well, for those asking for location, it is in Lagos, around Iju-Ishaga, Agege axis. I cant reveal more than that for security reason.
As regards the cost of building, I will say something around 11million. This is so owing to the quality of the materials used for the house, most especially the interior decor. I could have spent something less, like 9million. Each room is ensuite with modern day facilities.
I used around 150 bags of cement alone to do plastering. Dont ask me if artisans did not cheat me.I was my own engineer. I was always on the ground to monitor everything happening on my site.
You can use less depending on how solid you want your wall to be.I need to add that there are 2 gates in the house. Both cost around 200k

For those who think that I have the money, so no need to say that I was pushed to do this. Well, lemme tell you that when the work began, I had around 3million naira. And that was meant to buy a half plot of land at Obawole, Fagba. The plan then was to just buy the land and see what could come up for the development. But the land I wanted to buy was sold to someone else . I never knew the Lord already had a better place for us that wont cost that much. I got the land, about a plot, for less than 2 million.

This project is a testimony in many ways. Shortly after getting the land, my mind was always there. And the fear that Omo oniles could take over if not developed made me begin the work. It wasnt really easy. Omo oniles were on my neck 24/7. But I was told then that house builds itself. Beyond my imagination, lines began to fall for me in pleasant places. I got help that could make the work progress. I got a better job and the likes. It is a long story. But one fact I remember then was that my meal was more or less once in a day. Most times it was beans! The fear of omo oniles too has now reduced.

May I add that the thougt of having my own place never occured to me at all until when that neighbour of mine was making life difficult for me. And of course, some Nairalanders suggested I get my own place. It was initially funny to me. But at the same time I decided to give it a try.

For those talking about taste, HMMMM, I can see that you dont know what it takes to get here. I could have made the exterior more colourful than that though, but if you know what is called security and the environment you find yourself, you will not dare do what will make your house kinda attractive to some bad guys. Most houses around mine dont even have their exteriors painted. I agree with those who suggested colour combination. I can work on that at anytime. Painting is more or less the easiest part of building.

I just finished doing the interlocking. May I let all know that you cant finish building your own house. There will be need to do adjustments every now and then.

I hope I have been able to do justice to some of the questions asked. Thanks once again for your inquisitiveness. May the Lord build good houses for us all.

Poster, see my alter monicker and the prayer i made for you on that thread last year.

Thanks to all the people making comments. In fact, I never knew this post went through since my laptop developed a fault that required restarting while posting let alone making the front page. Just seeing it.

I will take time to respond to some questions raised when I get to work tomorrow. May God bless our hustles all.

Lord, I pray that you give this op his own house within one year miraculously in Jesus name. Amen !

Thanks for this prayer. Baba God indeed answered it exactly the way you prayed it.
