Nigerian Man Escapes Through The Bush During Wedding Ceremony In Imo State Over Too Much Billing

There was a mild drama as bridegroom escaped through the bush out of engagement ceremony in Imo State due to extortion.

According to Igwe Chibueze Ogadimma who shared the post, he paid N1,500,000 to cater for food, tents, chairs and a public address system.

He was also made to set aside N100,000 as the bride price that the two families had agreed on.

Biobelemoye David was asked to add N50,000 to the bride price because he had already impregnated the girl.

He was slapped with a N10,000 fine for making a detour to the wrong path and ending up in a different homestead other than the girl's.

He was also asked to pay N15,000 to appease the elders who had become tired of waiting for his arrival.

Drama however ensued when twelve girls covered in loose robes from head to toe were paraded before Biobelemoye David and he was asked to guess who his fiancée was.

He pointed at the wrong woman and that led to yet another fine of N15,000.

The decisive moment specifically was when the elders demanded for a refund of the total sum of N850,000 to repair the father's old car that knocked engine

Fuming with anger which he tried his best to hide, Biobelemoye David excused himself to visit a nearby bush to urinate and disappeared!

He switched off his phone and was last seen at a driving heading to Bayelsa State from Imo

FanRong:
I'm sorry, this post is going to be a long one. But you're saving a soul if you read through and advice candidly.


My story
We've dated for 6months and we've lived together for the 6months.

On our 3rd month, I found her interesting and told her I'll like to marry her. She accepted but no engagement ring or anything to show. We just accepted by word of mouth.

Since then, I've worked towards it. I've told her to call her mum and eldest brother(dad is late) to relate my idea and understand their feeling since it won't be that easy to marry. (same state, but my people and her people are highly selective in marriage)

After several persuasion, and threat that I'll throw her out if she doesn't relate the circumstances to her family, she called the mum. And again I had to force her to call the eldest brother. She claimed she did. And that's enough. I'm ok.

Meanwhile, there's this guy(her ex) she claims helped her when she came to Lagos. It was when I started accommodating her that I found out in her chats that she was living with this guy, but lied to me she was living with her Aunt and the aunt's husband was harassing her sexually and she wants to leave. She later told me the guy, though provides for him but has never had sex with her, even when she was living in his house. These stories doesn't move me since everyone, who is not a virgin has an ex. So I forgave all that and we moved on.

She wasn't everything I need in a women, but I told myself I could train her the way I want. We continued adjusting to each others likes and dislikes.

I feed her this 6 months, provide comfortable shelter, buy her things she needs,(not want). Told her I'll do more and open a shop for her, if we get married, but she still confronts me asking why should I wait till after marriage? . I didn't allow the words move me cos Its my decision and my money and also, I'm used to gold diggers.

A good number of times, I see her as being selfish. If things doesn't benefit her, she'll not get bothered even if I'm involved.

Just this week, It became obvious to me that she argues everything I request her to do. From 24th Dec, we've been on holiday, we're always at home.
1. I'll wake her up at 9 and ask her to prepare breakfast for the family, she'll prefer to roll on the bed than do it. I'll finally have to do it myself so I can get things done and get busy.

2. I detest girls on eye lashes. I've repeatedly told her how I dislike it, but when she went to fix herself for the Christmas, she fixed the eyelashes, Contrary to my demand.

3. I got her some sneakers to upgrade her fashion style and look smarter, instead of the usual slippers and sandals she wears.
When we prepared to go to the beach few days ago, I requested her to put on the sneakers to look more fashionable, but she refused buttressing that she must wear what she wants, sandals.

4. Few days ago, we had a heated argument and she said that if I'm not happy that she's living with me, that she can go, afterall, she has somewhere to stay. I asked her to go and she immediately called that her ex bf to come to my house. I immediately swung into action, took all her belongings out, before the ex will arrive, at the same time, retrieving the items I gifted her.
While she was struggling to have her gifted items back, our neighbours heard the struggle and had to come and settle for us. She apologized and I forgave her. we were back into the house.

5. Just yesterday , we left home together, and I locked the door and I took the keys with me. We walked down the street together to the Busstop, I have almost no friend and seldomly greet. But there's this my ex girlfriend by the roadside, she saw me and yelled my name, I went to greet her and my Fiancée picked offence, left me without waiting for me. After that I chased her and told her it's nothing because I've told her everything about this ex.
Before we could get to the Busstop, she demanded for the house keys and I gave her since she might come back earlier than me.
We couldn't say bye. The anger was clear on her face and we parted ways.

After about 15mins, I got to where I wanted to make payment for the items I picked only to notice I am not with my transaction phone. I was confused where could I have kept it, the seller insisted I may not have come to his shop with the phone, and the phone rang as I called with my second phone. so I had to call my Fiancée for assistance since she's with the keys.
At first, she said she was still around the Busstop but when I told her I needed her to go home and confirm my phones whereabout, she said she can't go back that she has gone far, shouted on me and hung the phone.

I called and called and called, but she didn't pick. Many thoughts ran into me. Who took this phone? My money? , my phone? , my sim card? . I had to find my way and trekked back about 4km to the house since I had no cash with me. And finally saw the phone ringing in my house. I was relieved.

The way she shouted to me on the phone got me unbalanced, I felt she would be fire if I get this girl as a wife.

We finally traveled to our home state today and I paid the bills for the traveling. My major plan of traveling was to see her people and do the needful before I mistakenly get her pregnant. But I'm seriously contemplating of canceling this plan and throw her out come January. I need peace.

Dear nairalanders, I'm really in the middle of the deep blue sea and the devil.

I need mature and candid advice please.
Should I continue with the marriage plans or the red flags are obvious?

I never come out of this same mistake(though she is late).the next thing is to use juju on u.please I beg in the name of God run.she can never change.

egobetter4me:
I know a lot of you will blame me after reading this and even want to curse me, but this is my sad story and I just want to put it out there for people to learn. Don't ever let your parents decide your partner for you. Even if you have to run away, do it.

I recently got married to an ugly, short, black, smelly, village girl. At first my uncle took me to see her, then we spoke and she came visiting. All these happened in the village.

When I went back to the city, I told my mom I wasn't interested in her any more, but she insisted I must marry her. My mom would always take my joy by telling me about the girl anytime she sees me happy. There was no breathing space. We live together and I pay the rent. I loved her so much that I could do anything for her. She once sold her wrappers/materials and jewelleries, to send me money for school fees.

Anytime she tries to talk to me about the girl, I will beg her and let her understand that young people like to marry who they truly love. I don't want her, I don't love her and I don't think I will ever will.
After all said and done, she still insisted, so I called my elder bro to come talk to her. He came in from another state and spoke with my mom for hours. She did as if she would allow me marry my choice, just for my brother to go. Immediately my brother left, she started again.

My mom has BP. She stopped using her medication and was ailing. she threatened that if she dies, that I killed her. I thought to myself, that if she truly dies, I might live with the regrets for the rest of my life. I really tried but I was defeated. I succumbed. But before marrying the girl, I spoke to her(the girl) that I don't love her and that I'm marrying her against my wish, but I guess she was desperate. She said I shouldn't worry, that the love would grow in the marriage.

We got married. She lives with me and my mom. Even my neighbours were disappointed in me, when they saw her. Church members and friends were all disappointed. I can't start narrating to them how I got here.

We are over a year gone now and she still irritates me. I so much hate to look at her. We've had sex only about 5 times or so and I have to get high to do this. I only kissed her once(at the alter and I cringed)

I cry everyday.....both at home and while hustling. I never envisaged my life to be like this. I had hoped to meet a beautiful, clean and well mannered graduate from the city. Someone I would truly love and she would love me too. I'd hoped that I would meet her, approach her and we start as friends, then lovers, then I would propose and all. I never planned for it to be like this.

I am so sad with my life. Right now, I'm thinking of applying for masters abroad and probably use the means to Japa and never come back again.

My life is so miserable!

Learn from me. Don't ever let your parents blackmail you into marrying someone you don't love. Pls don't. Just run away for months or few years and they will leave you alone.

I have the heart of"person way die make him die o!!"

Palestinians wave their national flag and celebrate atop a destroyed Israeli tank at the Gaza Strip fence east of Khan Yonis. Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023 (AP Photo/Yousef Masoud)

Some may argue that circumstances are different, the destruction is greater, the battle is protracted, and the losses are significant. However, evidence suggests that Israel has failed to achieve anything beyond acts of killing, destruction, and sabotage.

By Dr. Mustafa Al-Liddawi

The Israeli enemy seems immune to learning from its experiences, unyielding to the lessons of its failures, and reluctant to reconsider its goals. It persists in its attempts to achieve objectives it previously failed to secure in past confrontations. Despite its awareness that some goals are unattainable and fraught with challenges, obstacles, and sacrifices, the Israeli forces press forward, seemingly oblivious to the futility of their pursuits.

During the 2014 Israeli aggression on Gaza, dubbed “Operation Eaten Straw” by the Palestinian resistance, which endured for 51 grueling days, Israel declared its intention to undermine the rule of the Hamas movement. It vowed to end its existence, disarm it, destroy its tunnels, and kill or capture its leaders.

Israel asserted it would obliterate its sites, bomb its centers, dry up its resources, and form an international alliance against it. This alliance, Israel hoped, would collaborate in achieving its declared goals, even though the realization of these goals was either impossible or highly unlikely.

However, the Israeli government and its well-equipped military, enjoying superior training and coordination, failed to achieve their declared objectives. They fell short of meeting the expectations of the international community and regional powers, which had believed in the capability of Israel to achieve its announced goals.

The resistance, particularly Hamas, remained resilient, leading the defense efforts, managing the affairs of the Gaza Strip, and attending to the needs of its citizens. Despite the formidable challenges, it emerged stronger in terms of capabilities, weaponry, experience, steadfastness, popular support, and resilience.

Israel’s defeat extended beyond its failure to achieve specific objectives. It forced Israel to seek mediation, accept a ceasefire, and agree to the terms set by the Palestinian resistance.

Egypt, acting as a mediator, witnessed the resilience, firmness, shrewdness, and intelligence displayed by the resistance in articulating its conditions. The resistance insisted on Israel’s compliance, demanded international guarantees, and sought assurance that Israel would adhere to the agreed-upon terms.

Despite the intense bombardment of various areas in the Gaza Strip, utilizing Israel’s full military capabilities—air, land, and sea—the resistance endured. It fought, trained, accumulated strength, and persisted. Hamas, at the forefront, maintained its positions, leading the resistance, managing its operations, and catering to the needs of the citizens. It monitored their conditions, provided services, and emerged even stronger than before in terms of strength, weaponry, experience, resilience, and popular support.

The Israeli losses, particularly in the Shujaiya neighborhood, due to fierce battles fought by the resistance, compelled Israel to seek a ceasefire and acknowledge its inability to achieve the anticipated goals.

Despite covert coordination with some regional powers and high expectations for reshaping the region, forging political, military, security, and economic alliances, and signing peace agreements, Israel failed to materialize its ambitions.

Some may argue that circumstances are different, the airstrikes are more intense, the destruction is greater, the battle is protracted, and the losses are significant. However, evidence suggests that Israel has failed to achieve anything beyond acts of killing, destruction, and sabotage.

The Palestinian people appear patient, accepting, standing firm, unwavering, maintaining their stance without faltering. The resistance, particularly Hamas, leading the battle, improving its operational capabilities, continuing its strikes, sniper attacks, incursions, and surprise operations, will emerge from this war victorious.

Gaza will remain steadfast and rooted, impervious to Israel’s attempts to eradicate it, terminate its existence, liquidate its leaders, isolate it from its surroundings, and quell its people.

The outcome of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood will far surpass the results of the Operation Eaten Straw. If the latter coerced Israel into acceptance and submission, the former will redefine the region, alter the dynamics of the conflict, and redraw the power maps and influence centers in the region.

FeliciaOja:
I meet him July this year, everything about him is cool. My only worry is his fanatical support for arsenal which I consider the worst club on earth.

He keeps disturbing me of how his club will win the league, but whenever they lose he becomes super depressed and aggressive.

We have talked about this many times and he has sworn to change.
But this night he came back very late and was making so much noise, shouting and yelling
Then I googled scores and saw that his club lost today

I can't take it anymore
He is not the first guy I have dated that loved football. His own is that when his club loss it affects him very bad.

I have even suggested he should stop supporting arsenal but he won't listen.
After this night rubbish he just displayed I'm thinking of calling it quits.

Am I overreacting??

on the arsenal log there is canon,he will soon bomb u

I have an uncle that passed on early last year. My daddy told me he's my "uncle" but a distant relation because I don't know him in the village. We only met in lagos here so I think we are related but not close relation. Before he died, I use to send money to him especially during covid. At times he will ask and atimes I will send without him asking me. So when he passed on early last year, I was still sending the little amount I can afford to his wife. Its been 4 months I gave birth and she did not even come to see me. Her house to my house is about 500 transport fare to and fro. She knows there's no how she will come to my house and I won't give her cash even if at all she don't have transport fare.

She called me 2 days ago asking of Christmas money. I told her I will send it but inside me I am not happy honestly. People came from very far distance to visit me when I gave birth but this woman didn't even show concern. Anytime she call me will always be to ask of money. She said all her husband relative has abandoned her.
It is not like I don't have money to give her but her attitude is bad. She has only one daughter which she claimed she's in university. I don't know how true is that
Do you think I should overlook her character and give her the money

tell her to come to the house and take it.

A younger brother of mine saw a message on his finances phone.
She sent a message to a guy on instagram, telling him she likes his lips, so tempting.
Now shes claiming its not a big deal, that she doesn't even know the guy, that hes just an instagram model...(its true she doesnt know him,and have never met him).
But my brother doesnt feel good about it, he asked for my advice, and i decided to put it here for him to see himself.

Pls is this a red flag... Or not much of a big deal. The wedding is in February.

Ask am,if him never see big yansh way him like pass her own?him no look?

the major problem now is that the fulanis will come back to settle the score and the circle of violence continues

Thonyboy:
The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has predicted Nigeria’s break up in 2035 if President Bola Tinubu fails to restructure the country.

Primate Ayodele said Biafra activist, Nnamdi Kanu and Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho would have no hands in Nigeria’s break up.

Addressing journalists on Friday in Lagos, the cleric said the break up will happen naturally because citizens would be tired of staying together.

According to Ayodele: “We must be very watchful because Nigeria will break up in 2035, only God will stop it.

“If this government fails to restructure Nigeria, the country will break up.

“Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho will have no hands in Nigeria’s break up, the country will break up naturally.

“People will get tired of staying together and they will ask for a referendum that will make it to happen.”

So it looks like the USS Mason caught up with it before it got to a Yemeni port. and took over it after it was hijacked by Yemeni Houthi rebels earlier today. The thread about the hijack is on fp so this is like a follow up story.

Some arrests were made according to the US Navy. This is why you shouldn't mess about with the US. Look how quick they sorted it out and made the rescue. Good job!

Israel has the right to defend itself 100%.

While we can't fully trust the media, we know this much about the war between Israel and Hamas.

1. The Oct 7 attacks happened in 15 different locations.
2. Gaza is surveilled 24/7.
3. The whole Israel is the IDF military barracks
4. The best secret intelligence in the world is MOSSAD.
5. Egypt warned Israel of the impending attacks.
6.The whole Israel is a fortress.
7. A massive protest was planned against Netanyahu that week for the change in constitution.
8. There had to be a stand down order to the IDF to allow the killings of Israelis.
9. How did Israelis not know about the attacks?
10. The killings of Israelis was televised for 1 hr.

Netanyahu set a trap and Hamas walked right in.

But how did it happen?

Did the US give Hamas a nod to attack Israel?

when I come down from the mountain,I will give you the reply.

Hello,
I am writing to provide some clarifications following our earlier discussion under the mentioned headings. It has become necessary to address certain points for better understanding.

I've noticed some surprising comments, and I believe it might be attributed to cultural differences. I want to emphasize that I opened this account upon the request of a Nigerian friend who encouraged me to share my story.

My primary concern is the timing of the information about the occasion for which my spouse has been making preparations. The issue is not about mistrusting my brother; rather, it's about my spouse not sharing this information earlier.

The wedding she is attending is that of her old classmate's younger sister, a man whose name has been rarely mentioned in the ten years of our marriage. My surprise stems from the sudden revelation of her involvement in this event just a few days before the ceremony, despite the extensive preparations leading up to it. Like I said, I think she only mention the guy’s name just once when the guy had an accident. She just mentioned the accident and that was all.

Moreover, when she was even telling me of embarking on the journey, she just only said that she was attending a friend’s wedding without further details or explanation. She was merely informing me about it, because she already made all the arrangement to attend the wedding and has been discussing the issue with this same class mates for over 4 months without ever mentioning it to me, just only to inform me days to the occasion.

I hope these clarifications shed light on the specific points of concern. I appreciate your time.

it depends on the hand u gave her.

chazon:
Am in my 30’s, My wife and I have been living in separate locations about 4yrs now. With intermittent visits 3-4months intervals.
Few days back wen she visited, I exchanged one of my new fones with her so while I was checking out the fone so I could delete some stuff and familiarize with the fone(her previous fone ,now mine)I casually stumbled into her FB & WhatsApp and saw sex chats with different men including her ex. This will be first ever I would be checking her SM, calls, SMS or whatsoever.
When I confronted her with these evidences, she rather than apologize to me, began guilt tripping me with how she’s been ignoring my own philandering (but no evidence, she’s just basing them on speculations).
She dragged the fone in a bid to snatch it from me at the Mall in public.
I told her point blank how disappointed & angry I am and am separating from her.
I arranged for for logistics to take her to our house in the town she stays.
She’s called my dad. I have no idea what she’s told them, but I got evidences.
We do not yet have a child together.

Did I overreact??
How do I deal with this situation
Mature advices will be appreciated from experienced people

Whatever it is, I believe it's the spirit of God. I don fight too much with the account abeg.

As a child of God on Nairaland you will always be pushed to go beyond your boundaries through the actions of trolls.

Many will be the ones to start insulting you for just making a simple opinion.

Anyways, to stop going beyond the boundaries as a Christian, I step aside like Ibrahim Babangida.

I hereby close this account that I have used to exchange insults and all manner.

To the Igbos I love you but stop saying Lagos is a no man's land. Na im u dey take vex me

To the MUSLIMS, I love you cause the Bible says I should. I even get many close Muslim friends. But stop supporting Terrorism. Na im you dey take vex me. Allow Israel to deal with Hammas in peace.

To the Atheists, stop fooling yourselves. There is a God in Heaven. His name is Jehovah. And that said, I love you too.

To every other person I don quarrel with, I love you but na you dey provoke me sha. I be quiet gentleman.

Cheers.
Love you guys.
