vdestro: Of course I have. Their case is not the first.
For the one Sade you are relying on, there are multiples of women everywhere who are still crying over their failed attempt to tie a man down.
And if not that Regina's own has crashed, you would have mentioned hers.
So the fact remains that we see the failures of many many women hence the numbers of single mamas everywhere.
But I know you people like to blind your eyes to all the many many failures and hope your case will be different but it won't hence you all end up frustrated and bitter women. Yes for every Mercy or shade out there balling in their are marriagesh, there are countless side-chick turned wife living in regrets but who says the maid can't also be a rare exception? |

So your trying to use a child to link (tie) the man to you go fail because I can not count the number of men who have pursued Ole woman out of their lives and did not even look back on the children when the women tried to use the children as a weapon.
Na she lose las las! It's like you've seen the future to see how everything will play out. She could become another Sade Okoya or Mercy Johnson. They're both second wives who started their affairs with their husbands when they were still married men. Even though there are rumours of the husbands cheating here and there, they're still pretty much the madams in their marriages. There's no formula for this life and nobody can predict the future |

What is yours if truly is yours, must return back to you after em eye clear.
Any one who cometh not by the door is a thief and one day that thief will still lose the stolen property but of course this can only happen if Madam did not steal Oga herself from some other person. Even if he chases her away, the child will forever link them together even if it forcefully collects him or her from her. |

Travel › Ghana Official Rejects ‘detty December’ Label, Pushes New Branding by dominique(mod): 6:22am On Dec 25, 2025 |
Detty December, a term widely used to describe the end-of-year party season in Ghana and Nigeria, carries “negative connotations,” Ghana’s official for diaspora affairs, Kofi Okyere-Darko has said.
Okyere-Darko said he was open to rebranding the season in a way that still appeals to younger audiences, suggesting that December in Ghana could be shortened to “D.I.G.. Let’s dig it!”
He said he does not want the label associated with Ghana, explaining his concerns during an interview in Accra
“On a personal level I don’t want the word ‘detty’ to be associated with anything Ghana… that’s something I’m not very comfortable with,” he said.
“Detty”, a West African Pidgin word meaning “dirty”, is commonly used to describe unrestricted celebration as the year comes to an end. Despite the concerns, Detty December in Ghana has become a major attraction for visitors and a driver of tourism.
In December last year, more than 125,000 international visitors travelled to Ghana, many of them from the diaspora. This was higher than arrivals recorded in any other month, a trend that has continued over the past three years.
Mr Okyere-Darko said the government avoids using the term Detty December, instead promoting a tourism campaign called December in Ghana. He spoke at the Ghana Diaspora Summit in the capital.
“The young people somehow prefer ‘Detty December’, but officially, that’s not the name,” he said.
“I don’t think December is what attracts people to Ghana. People started coming to Ghana a long time ago. I remember December in Ghana at the turn of the millennium, with initiatives like Akwaaba UK.”
The phrase Detty December became popular about eight years ago after Nigerian musician Mr Eazi launched his Detty Rave festival in Accra.
This December, Accra has been busy with concerts, parties and festivals, drawing diasporans and tourists mainly from the US and Europe. Many visitors, aged between their early 20s and mid-40s, attend social events throughout the week.
While many see the December influx as positive, some residents have raised concerns about high prices, overcrowding and traffic congestion.
This year has also shown that December in Ghana is no longer focused only on partying. Alongside concerts and festivals, there is a growing schedule of investment seminars, networking events and cultural showcases, offering opportunities in areas such as property, minerals, fashion and textiles. https://tribuneonlineng.com/ghana-official-rejects-detty-december-label-pushes-new-branding/#google_vignette

From the bits and pieces that I picked on the matter, madam travels a lot for extended periods leaving the husband with the maid. She had her last son in Canada and has stayed there for over a year, that was when oga impregnated the maid. Not excusing infidelity but you can't leave a hungry goat with yam and expect the goat not to devour the yam. A very rich goat for that matter. Madam should either divorce or accept reality that she now has a rival. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Algerian Law Declares France's Colonisation A Crime. by dominique(mod): 5:42am On Dec 25, 2025 |
France colonisation of African countries was one of the biggest crimes against humanity. The kind of inhumane treatment faced by the africans in their colonies can be compared to what slaves experienced during the slave trade era.
They used African soldiers to fight world war 2, put them on the frontline where most of them perished. After the war was won, it was their European soldiers that matched onwards. The Africans for zero acknowledgment, zero compensation. Algerian and Senegalese soldiers that were most vocal about collecting their settlement were called in for discussion where they were rounded up and killed. Till date they're still collecting taxes from their colonies despite exploiting them of their natural resources. E get why Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali take koboko to pursue them out of their country.
No country brutalised it's African colonies worse than the French which begs the question why is our president frolicking with them? |

Nigeria has never done a house lottery ever
Anyone telling you that is lying
Since we cannot agree the onus is on you to provide evidence or shutup and leave me in peace
You are now constituting a nuisance I didn't know I was exchanging words with a mentally unstable. I hope your brain is sound enough to understand the simple English written in the screenshot below. Some residents of Festac "won" their apartments via balloting system which was done in a lottery format. Winning entries were posted in national dailies. If that's not enough evidence for you, go and ask your psychiatrists for evidence

aribisala0: Your dad is the one you should call to explain to me Not you Nigeria was not beautifully planned in 1980 The Airport in Port Harcourt did not exist Third Mainland bridge did not exist There was nothing like housing lottery
That is a lie if you are sure name the location in Benin or Port Harcourt
The first Low Cost Housing scheme in Nigeria was started by Jakande in the early 80s
https://dailytrust.com/how-jakandes-mass-housing-policy-helped-the-poor/?utm_source=chatgpt.com
To express interest N50 form to show interest and make a deposit of N1,200 for a 3-bedroom flat and N1,000 for 2-bedroom flat in any of the estates. JUST DEPOSIT NOT TOTAL COST
The lottery was about location so most people would pick popular locations but a lottery system would be used for allocation
100 naira was a lot of money about 100 pounds or 150 dollars Not enough to buy a car not to talk of house
A brand new Peugeot 504
In official Nigerian government/import price schedules from the late 1970s to 1980, the Peugeot 504 GL Saloon was typically listed at around ₦5,780 to ₦6,700 depending on trim and options (e.g., air‑conditioning, automatic) — this is the approved landed/import price before taxes & duties. There was housing lottery in Lagos in the late 70s & early 80s o. I grew up in festac and a number of people living there at the time were government workers and people that "won" their apartments at the lottery. That's what the government did with the blocks of flats and houses built specifically for Festac '77. I don't know how much the tickets were but it can't be more than N100 but you can only apply once. People applied with all the members of their family including babies |
