Does anyone know where I can auction this big 🦉 owl? Today's early morning rain made it lose its bearing,so it was found hibernating at one corner of my compound.

I attempted to handle it but it fought back aggressively,so I used a basket to capture it.

What specie of owl is this? It's a big one. Can anyone buy it?
Please, let the poor bird take it's flight at night in peace...

Family › Re: Can This Marriage Work? by dawnomike(m): 11:16pm On Jan 13
Nahimm:
I turned 29 about a month ago. I met my wife in the first quarter of 2024. We dated for a short period—about three months—before she became pregnant.

At that time, I was earning very little and living in a face-me-I-slap-you single-room apartment. My wife, on the other hand, was working, had a side hustle, and was also in her final year of a part-time academic program. She earned more than I did then. I was almost done with my own part-time program and was hopeful that completing it would help me secure a better job.

My wife is from the South-West, while I am from the Middle Belt. I loved her deeply and did not want anything to make her unhappy. I agreed to marry her, but I was not financially prepared for the traditional marriage list her father gave me. Because of the pregnancy and the need to be married before the baby was born, we opted for a court wedding.

After the baby was born, we moved into a one-room self-contained apartment. God helped me secure a new job, and my income improved, although it is still not enough to say I have full financial stability.

After childbirth, I began noticing many issues. I cannot say they were unusual because we had never lived together before—she only used to visit me occasionally. My wife comes from a family where her parents are separated. When we started living together, we experienced frequent misunderstandings. She was often unhappy, easily provoked, and at times verbally insulting toward me. I also noticed challenges with hygiene and other domestic concerns.

People around me advised that these behaviors might be related to postpartum changes, so I tried to be patient. At the time, I worked from home, assisted with household chores, and made conscious efforts to make her comfortable and happy, but it remained difficult.

Whenever we had issues, she would invite her mother and sometimes her mother’s friends into our home. They would speak in her language, which I do not fully understand, and she would describe me as wicked and complain about finances. At that period, I was indeed struggling financially. I had debts from securing the apartment, which cost close to two million naira, and although she also supported during that process, the financial pressure was intense.

My wife does not talk much, but when she does, her words are often very hurtful. She has made statements such as threatening to curse the water and salt she used to cook for me and calling me broke and proud. I overlooked many of these comments, believing they were influenced by postpartum stress.

One pattern that concerned me over time was laundry. She would not wash my clothes. Personally, I do not see washing my own clothes as a major issue, especially since we do not yet have a washing machine and I have time to do laundry. However, when I wash, I wash everyone’s clothes—hers, mine, and the baby’s, including her underwear. Over time, it became concerning that even when she did laundry, she would not wash my clothes unless I complained.

Financially, I give her close to ₦100,000 monthly, which is about 60% of my salary, to cover feeding and the baby’s needs. I also take care of other household bills. Hospital expenses are covered under my HMO.

Despite this, she often makes it seem as though the money I give her is insufficient and that she spends far more.

I have tried to communicate constructively. For example, I suggested that she buy food items in bulk instead of in small quantities, but she does not take this advice.

One issue that escalated matters significantly was intimacy. She often reacts aggressively when I touch her at night. I have tried explaining that I understand intimacy cannot happen all the time, but when she declines, I expect politeness rather than kicking, shouting, or asking me to leave her alone. On the rare occasions when she responds more calmly, she gives reasons such as needing to wake up early for business or to prepare the baby.

She sees her mother almost every day and regularly shares details of what happens in our home with her.
Last month, following a serious disagreement, she left our home with the baby and went to stay at her mother’s house. During efforts to resolve the issue, her mother told me several things I had not previously known, particularly complaints about the amount of money I give my wife. I eventually settled the issue by stretching myself financially to satisfy her family.

Despite my efforts, my wife did not return immediately. She stayed at her mother’s house for approximately one month and returned only when she decided to do so.

My own mother, who had not yet met my wife, initially encouraged me to be patient and make peace. She supported the steps I took to resolve the issue so my wife could return home. However, after I had done everything requested and my wife still delayed her return, my mother became more protective of me. She suggested that I relocate and inform my wife of my decision—if she agrees, we relocate together; if not, I should proceed alone.

My mother’s concern is that this pattern might repeat in the future, possibly many years later, where my wife might leave with the children, disrupting my life and delaying my progress.

I have not acted on my mother’s suggestion.
My wife has now returned, and things appear slightly better, but her manner of communication has not changed significantly. She remains very defensive and does not welcome open, healthy conversations. When I feel overwhelmed, I go silent to avoid becoming aggressive. She also tends to withdraw and remain quiet.

At present, I am focusing on improving myself, particularly financially.

At some point, I considered divorce and discussed it with her. However, our nine-month-old baby is a major concern for me, and I genuinely want a stable and healthy home for my family.

I would appreciate guidance on how to handle this situation.
I am glad to know you're investing in yourself to get better financially. I pray fortune smiles on you soon.
Please, her patient in your marriage and at the same time, do not be foolish to the point where you lose been the head of your home.

Hello

What do you guys thinks about these two cars as a first time buyer and driver.

The first is Peugeot 307 and the second is Toyota Corolla Obama.

Which would you advise I go for as Nigerian used and why?

My mind is tilted more to the Toyota Obama but I hear most of them usually develop electrical issue due to them being converted from right to left hand driving when they come in Nigeria.
But the toyota corolla that was not converted and have peace!

Omo! 😰Anxiety Grip Nigerians As CAF Appoint C0ntroversial Dahane Beida For Morocco Vs Naija Clash🇳🇬🦅

Dahane Beida is a Mauritanian referee, and will officiate semifinal game between Morocco and Nigeria.

What you should know...🙆🏿‍♂️

(1) Beida was recently knocked out by fans who accused him of being partial in the Morocco game Vs Cameroon. Especially, as it appeared he denied Cameroonians a penalty after forward Mbeumo was brought down in the box.

(2) Few months ago, he was also alleged to have favoures Moroccan club RS Berkane to beat Simba of Tanzania in the Confederation Cup final.

More Interesting, Beida was also the official in charge of the 2023 AFCON final in Abidjan, where Nigeria lost 2-1 to hosts Cote d’Ivoire.

Should Nigerians be scared?🤦🏿‍♂️

Literature › Re: My Girlfriend Stole My Generator, Can I Arrest Her? by dawnomike(m): 1:42pm On Jan 10
tonystark007:
My girlfriend was supposed to return from the village in the last week of January.
So yesterday, I was very Hot and decided to call one of my talking stages over.

She came and spent the night.

Very early the next morning, my babe started calling me. I didn’t want to pick up because I had lied to my talking stage that I was single.

So, I opened my WhatsApp to text my babe and ask why she was calling so early—only to see a message saying she was outside my house.

Ahhh!!!

I jumped out of bed and tiptoed to the sitting room because my talking stage was still asleep.

Thank God my generator was on. Since this new year, NEPA has been showing us shege, so I had bought 20k worth of fuel and filled my gen to give my talking stage a good time.

I called my babe and pretended I was still asleep. I told her she should have called before coming because I had travelled to Abeokuta and wouldn’t be back until night.

Next thing she said, “So who turned on your gen? And who is talking to me now in boxers?”

I turned and caught my babe peeping through the kitchen window.

Immediately, I dived flat on the floor, but it was too late. She had seen me.

I told her I didn’t know what she was talking about and hoped my friend hadn’t brought a woman into my house. I even asked her to take a picture and send it to me.

I was vibrating and swearing, saying this is why I don’t like giving my guys my key. I said if I found out he brought a woman to my bed, I’d never allow him or any of my friends into my house again.

My babe was quiet. When I finished, she asked, “Are you done?”

I didn’t reply.

She said, “So ur friend wears ur boxers? I saw u lie down flat with my two eyes. And I know u’re with a woman because u only put on ur generator when a woman is around.”

I still maintained my lie. I swore I wasn’t at home and that I was in Abeokuta.

She said, “Okay. Call your friend to open the door or send me his number.”

I said, “hello hello, mehn network is bad here o. Bae if you can hear me I can’t hear you. I’ll call u back.” Then I hung up.

As I was calculating my next move, my talking stage woke up and called my name from the bedroom.

I crawled inside quickly before she came to the sitting room, then stood up fast at the door so she wouldn’t see me crawling.

Omo, I was sweating. My heart was racing. I was going through a lot and this babe said she was Hot, she wants to knack again

Women can be very insensitive and wicked. Madam, read the room. There is fire on the mountain and you’re Hot.

Ahhh… Calabar girls and segz.

But as a sharp guy and a gentleman, I still had to play it safe and satisfy her.

I was thinking ahead: if my main babe broke up with me because of this, at least I’d still have this one as backup instead of losing two sure odds.

I told her to give me some time to sort out small pressing family issues.

Meanwhile, my babe was already knocking. Thank God for generator noise. The way my house is, unless you’re in the sitting room, you won’t hear anything from the bedroom.

Next thing, I got a WhatsApp message.

I went to the kitchen again, closed the curtain so she can’t peep again, and checked my phone.

She typed: “I’m taking your generator unless you come out. I’ll also take the girl’s slippers, so you better open the door.”

I thought she was joking.

Brothers and sisters, the next thing I knew, my generator went off.

I knew it couldn’t be fuel cos I had filled the tank the night before. So I waited to understand what was happening.

My talking stage came out and asked if fuel had finished. I said maybe the plug had burnt. She said it was fine, let’s just go and knack so she can go

Luckily for me, I was able to get my preeq up and stood on business.

When she went to the restroom, I called my useless security and asked if my babe was still around.

He said, “Ah oga, she don go o.”

I said what of my gen?

He said, “Ah, madam say you ask am to carry it go repair because the plug burn.”

I weak. Like who employed this incompetent man? How can you allow a woman carry my gen when I didn’t give you approval, and I’m at home o. U can call or come and ask me!

As for the missing slippers, I had to give my talking stage one of my girlfriend’s slippers and lie that it belonged to my sister. I even sent her money to buy a new one.

See why it’s very expensive to be a bad boy. It’s not easy for us. One lie leads to another and another. To be a bad boy and stand on business, you have to be very sharp and God fearing

After I saw my talking stage off, I prayed small, did the sign of the cross, and went to my babe’s place.

This girl locked my generator inside her house and told her security not to let me in.

There’s nothing I did not swear and beg this girl with. She refused to even come outside and reason with me

First, I told her it was a test to see how she’d react if I ever cheated, and that the girl was an actress.

When that didn’t work, I said it was a prank video and that when we came out to record her reaction, she had already left.

My babe is very stubborn, she didn’t believe me.

Now it’s been two weeks, and she still hasn’t returned my generator. I’m starting to suspect all this while she’s been eyeing it.

Haba. Ontop small cheat I cheat, she carried a whole generator. My new generator I got for Christmas.

Abeg, she’s not wife material. If I marry her, she can sell my house.

So now I’m confused.
Is this not stealing?

Should I arrest her or just let it go?

Please advise me.


The End
