If you have ever witnessed this people protest you will be scared.They are usually so many several men with women backing babies,some with little children and very scary banners.Everyone in black some having red scarves and weird things but they just march around and go to their homes.Soldiers please be careful we dont need any extra violence.

The point about waiting two to three years before starting a family is not Nigerian at all.People will start thinking they are having a problem conceiving.

I feel so sorry for this little girl.Making a 14 yr old girl get married and a grown up having sex with her at will is enough torture.If the religion supports giving out child brides atleast they should get the consent of the child as much as i hate child marriages.They should please release this little girl and rehabilitate her for rape commited against her.

Culture / Re: Why Do Nigeria Men Prefer Male Child To Female Child by Diamonddamsel: 5:56am On Jul 03, 2014
They want a male child to carry the family name.Also they see it as a pride to have more sons.You see a man whose wife just had a boy reveal the sex with pride.Some who had girls just simply tell u their wife had a baby.Africans na wa.

Romance / Re: What Sort Of Devilish Wife Did I Marry? by Diamonddamsel: 11:21pm On Jan 06, 2014
Ibusho: my brother, if ur enemy get involve in an accident or has a serious illness, I bet u she will pack d children and run away but ur family will not leave u. U need to correct this before its too late. lf u loose ur grip as d head of d family then ur in for more insult from her. I do let my wife knows that without my family there is no me so den no born am well make e put mouth or even advice me on my extended family issues.

As much as those children bears ur surname they are ur property and u have 100% right over them. Take charge.

What a bad advice.When you get married its a covenant between the two of you.You both need to accept one another's family and be open in your dealings.That is the only way to guide against misconceptions about either party.
It's wrong to ask your parents to come and pick the children without informing their mother.The children are not 100% yours u bore them together.
Sort out your issues there might be something she is scared of possibly loosing her kids to your parents.
I can't imagine giving my kids to live to secondary school with my parents not to talk of my in-laws after all I carried the pregnancy for 9 months.
Fighting and divorce won't solve the problem there is no guarantee another woman will be ok with such an arrangement.Please talk and if possible go for counseling.

Fashion / Re: The Issue Of Pairing Leggings With A Short Top by Diamonddamsel: 7:40am On Dec 27, 2013
Very true its so shameful and grossly indecent.I went out for a picnic yesterday and it was the fad.The worst is some of the leggings are transparent.Ladies be careful not to talk of rape when u are attracting the wrong people ur way.
Vincad: I recently noticed that so many people have begun wearing leggings with short tops. It really bugs me and I don't know why. Some people go as far as tucking in their tops.
Leggings should be paired with a top that is long enough to cover your derriere but shouldn't be so long that it can touch your knees. Once it touches your knees it's practically a gown.
So,who else shares this view?
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Stanbic Ibtc Bank Calling... by Diamonddamsel: 7:39am On Dec 17, 2013
That is the height of exploitation.Its so sad that after a parent has laboured so much to send their wards to school paying exhorbitant fees the child comes out to come out to get paid N40k or less.Its however better to start the job if u dont have any now it will count in terms of experience.I did such a contract job for 3yrs before getting a better job but the experience helped me get my current job.
Family / Re: Baby Strapped To A Pillow So Her Mum Could Work (Picture) by Diamonddamsel: 7:14pm On Dec 15, 2013
Woged2005: Thank your God this is not in the USA. You are on ur way to losing the baby and possibly serving jail time for Child abuse/neglect, forceful imprisonment, endangering a minor, causing harm using objects, etc..LoL! The laws here don't smile at things like this as hilarious. They will tell u if can't take care of the baby, don't have her. Period! Marriage is not movie!!!
Take it easy o the baby is not in any danger if u check the pillow is on a foam and u can only do this for a baby of such an age who is not yet so wise as to turn much.Its not easy to take care of children cut the woman some slack.

Its a gamble.Many are impressed by beautiful pictures of people wearing coats in the snow and want the same for themselves.Every soceity has its own challenges.If you are not a hardworking and focused person no matter where u move,it will not make a difference.Personally i love Nigeria im ok going for holidays abroad but i cant imagine living permanently.

Family / Re: Are You Sending Your Housemaids To School? by Diamonddamsel: 10:52pm On Nov 03, 2013
Your experience is very similar to mine.I had a hhelp who i sent to school and took care of her several pple thought we were related.She started misbehaving and i cautioned her.She decided to leave.She left a week to promotional exams after i had spent so much.I felt used and exploited.But ill do it over again rather than deny a child a future
labiola: This is a very interesting topic, let me share my experince with you. Sometimes last year we decided to engage an housemaid after so many pressure from my wife. She joined us in August 2012 and we enrolled her to private school and she was admitted to JSS 3, we paid close to N80,000 for her uniform, school fees and other expenses, that was the agreement we had with her mummy. So we continue to leave together as family, there is no disrimination, whatever my children eat is what she will eat. She shared the same room with my sister in law, practically all she does is domestic chore.
Initially, everything was going on fine untill my wife started complianing about her disobedience and her bad behaiviour, atimes I will "shakara" her that I will be beat her, though eventually I did beat her once after so many warning.
After, the first term, her result was released and she came first, I was so impressed and I asked my wife to get her some cloths which she did. I took this lady as my blood sister. She resumed the second term so we paid another 35k for her school fees and juniour waec exams, atfter the payment, her mother called me to request for money which I turned down because our agreement was to send her daughter to school. The problem started when she went for holiday with her mummy, then my kids were not around so we decided to allow her to spend sometimes with her mum. The day she suppose to return, we didn't see her and her mother called to apologise that she was going through some deliverance which after she will come. There after she returned and resumed school, she did her junior waec while we are expecting her result, the mum called me that she was tired of lagos that she is planning to relocate to her village hence she will be going with her daughter, my mum called her mother to come and they had discussion, base on their discussion, my mum told me that her mother needs money hence, I should withdraw the girl from private school and register her to public school so that I can be given her mum 5k every month, which to me it doesn't make sense to withdraw her from private school to public. I agreed to leave her to continue in private school while I will give her mum N5k every month. While we are still expecting her result , her mum called that she has changed her mind to come and pick her daughter, then both myself and wife was not around, I was furious and I just told my mum to allow her to take her daughter, that was how they left my house, uptill now I have no information about her whereabout. This is my experience with househelp. Atimes I don't blame people that maltreat them. By and large I will advise whoever that needs to engage house help should try and give then something in return such that in the nearest future they will remember you for good. If you can't send them to school let them go and learn something.
