In all fairness, a person isn't supposed to do all that while meeting an elderly person or a superior for the first time, in-laws or not. But then, some people just don't have it in them, to be courteous.

That being said, there are some exceptions. Some sons-in-law can be older than the parents-in-law. Also, in a good number of instances, it's actually the in-laws that struggle to please the suitor and not the other way round.

6. GET FULL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR IN-LAWS BEFORE YOU EMBARK ON THAT JOURNEY! LEST YOU SEE A CHILD BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK BY YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW AND ASSUME ITS HER GRANDCHILD, ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF A LATE FATHER-IN-LAW.
(You may then say: I think that fair girl outside must be your grandchild (when in fact all her married kids are furiously seeking for fruit of the womb. And she responds 'No. She is not'. And you ask, 'Then, who is she?'. And she says 'She's my daughter'. And you'll be puzzzled as to how she could have a 10-year old child when her husband died 15 years ago. And you still stupidly ask 'Wow! I thought your husband died 15 years ago? How old is this girl?)
You'll spend 3 years and 3 times the bride price mending this friction

Your neva going to get a hubby, talk more of a miscarriage....... let alone pregnancy..... you pathetic creature. I must expose your activities.

Biafra Bushboy.. Who be the mod for this section? See person wey get two accounts dey use am find trouble o

Titto93:
• Patience Jonathan. N10,400
• Ngozi Okonjo.......... N10,250
• Folasade Bent.........N10,450
• Turai Yar’adua..........N10,200
• Total.........................N41,300

Shabby Joke. Others had names and surnames except Total, yet she didn't know the difference? Besides, she knows Total stations but doesn't know the meaning elsewhere? That is a very weak joke. I think we should leave the edition that had names of food along with Total. That's original and far better.

Nothing is impossible. It's all about the lover's perception of the current environment.

Two suspects’ names have been given as Abubakar Abdul Danjuma, 18; Jamilu Moh’d, 14;
Shamsideen Moh’d, 20; Garba Hamisu, 13; Isah Dauda, 17 and Abdul Rasheed Dahiru, 17.

Evil people will always patrol the society. But then, a productive one would give little room for all these.

Government of enemity..

So, serving the people is now one of the tools to be used in spiting past administration.

If Man City loses, better for our chances to make Top 4 but I don't give a phawk. We can close gaps next week. Just do them, Citizen. Bang Chelsea HARD!!

I hate Fellaini now..

Kai!! See Devil oo

Substitution Rooney coming off for Lingard.

I don die!!
Two exquisite Mata passes dulled #phaaawwwkk!!

Goal!!
Man Utd 1 - 0 Aston Villa (Rashford).

Rooney plays one of his trademark cross-field passes for Valencia to run unto. He does well to meet it and square a pass for Rashford to put an improvised flick past Guzan. Man Utd have taken the lead here!

24 Mins Man Utd 0 - 0 Aston Villa Possession: 69% - 31%

I so wanna vent my frustration on Aston Villa today..so help me 'God'.

With all that's happening today in relationships, this question is a void one. No answer is meant to be in this case.

This is a narration of which I was privileged to witnesw but didn't play an active role in. Names are ficitious.

A distant cousin, Mary, was in a relationship with a certain man, Ezekiel, who was into airtime business. As at the time we became aware of the relationship, she was in her first year in a polytechnic. At this time, the man came to perform introductory rites in the girl's home. The total expense on this event could not have been up to #12,000.
One thing led to another and the relationship crashed. The lady in question dropped out of school due to poor performances and for years, there was no obvious contact between the pair.

However, last two years, a fine gentleman came for the lady's hand in marriage and concluded all rites, travelling back to Abuja with his new bride, and there came trouble.

Ezekiel came to the bride's family, threatening fire and brimstone if he wasn't refunded all the expenses he lavished on the girl while she was in school and out of it. The chief of the community fixed a date for Ezekiel to come along with a record of his expenses and for the bride's family to come for a dialogue, with him as the mediator.

On the said day, Ezekiel arrived with a carefully prepared but ridiculously inflated expense sheet. The introduction ceremony was now put at #20,000. Along with airtime sent to Mary, money given and things bought for her as well, his total refund stood at #198,000. It was clear he's out for a piece of the goldmine Mary seemingly fell into now.
After going through the list, the opinion of the bride's family was interpreted thus:

[b]'We have seen your list. We can't argue with you about the introduction ceremony or its cost, because it was done and the funding for it came from your pocket. Moreover, we are not hungry people. We will pay that #20,000 you put there.
However, the other expenses, we are not aware of. While you were making them, you didn't inform us, neither did Mary tell us about them. But since we are here for peace, and Mary isn't here to speak on her behalf, we will ask you for some things as well.
We would like to know how many times Mary visited you at your place, how many times you slept with her, how many times she cooked for you, how many times she did your laundry, how many times she cleaned your home, how many times she went out with you to occasions.
We will cost these things and see who owes the other. If you can't give us details, we can contact Mary to help us out so that we can move ahead.

We are men. We know where the woman benefits us, therefore, do not think you can lecture us on what the roles and sacrifices of a woman in a relationship are.'[/b]

At this point, the dialogue broke up. Noises and threats took the rest of the meeting as the parties departed, not as they came, but each man with his own fury. Till date, there has been no further peace talks. However, the voice of a wife to one of the parties rings clear. She asked them to be careful with how they deal with Ezekiel so that they do not cause problems for the then-pregnant Mary.

If he poses a threat, that remains to be seen as Mary was delivered of the child late last year.

Hmmm.. God protect my brothers for their families.

Move on, bro. Recover your money. Man City will defeat Real Madridin the first leg. Bet again and this time, your drinks will be paid for #PalmChatTinz

I have always said it that what a man can do..a woman can do far more better...#shikena

That's the plain truth. All you just have to do is to look at the percentage of men who get caught in the act of cheating. The women, I don't know how they do it, but they do it MUCH BETTER.

I don't see how a 38yr old masters degree holding taxi driver is inspiring.

Probably from the angle that you can be what you wanna be, not minding your societal status in life. Something about humility and perseverance.

The story headline sounded very catchy with the 'Master Degree holder' tag, but according to the article, she doesn't have it yet. How many more adjustments did you make in the story, o ye blogger

It's all respect for the dead. Not that I'm a fan of superstition, but I don't think I'll opt for mutilation after death. Autopsy serves a wonderful purpose though.

I keep wondering why people use their descharge certificate to snap and spread it on facebook like its a big achievement for them... God knows i won't do this when i am through with my service next year... Girls are the worst.... I see people who do this as inmature and childish.

They had their lives on pause and worked their socks off a whole year for that piece of paper.

And suddenly, you think your opinion counts as to how they choose to celebrate the end?

Wait till you serve.

If there was a loss somewhere, I fail to see it.

Baba, you don't need all those vibes to sell the thread. Just be patient. It will make frontpage. However, there is a bigger-snake story yet to hit FP, so, join the queue.

and your point is

Lol.. My thoughts exactly

Such is unjustifiable and age has nothing to do with it. Romeo and Juliet, while being ficitious, is the perfect model of what love should be - originate unconditionally, not for certain reasons, and at a young age too. After all, we've seen elderly men patronize LovePeddler-houses and harrass ladies.

The only things we have heard as benefits from these trips and not seen them is a loan package of 2billion dollars ! So can we say buhari has spent 5 billion naira in order to put Nigeria into a 2billion dollars debt

My brother, with all these cash EFCC has uncovered, it's a wonder the country still need a loan

I hope the essay is worth it? Well, lemme vote with all my emails

Are we still talking about this?
We should have come to terms that the mule-head will do exactly how he pleases irrespective of whom it troubles.
Relax. We survived 4 bad years. We can push through another 4 worse years.

The error is quite insignificant as to their employability status. This isn't a show-off, it's an appreciation of God's mercy on their lives. Hence, your jibe is quite uncalled for.
