This is not news ,juventus has been winning this trophy for the past 7 years .

Not true at all. The last time they won this trophy was 2015. Always double check and don't misinform people.

This is about my Elder Sis.

She wanted to get married to a man who was way older than her, he was practically my dad's age mate. My parents and the church refused to okay the marriage. She threatened to kill herself if she wasn't allowed to marry the man. Parents were forced to okay the marriage.

They have been married for years, no kids. Still praying for them.

Your parents eventually gave their consent na. We are talking about parents who refused to give consent no matter what....

Tallesty1:
Obviously because there are too many similar stories with a bad ending.

How many do you know. I know more that ended well.

cnonyechi:


The bible says honour ur father and mother that your days may be long.

I have seen people who went against their parents and some resulted in d death of one of d spouses.

I have also seen people who went against their parents they r very much alive but sooo unhappy.

How will u feel wen u advise ur children and they decide not to listen.

For ur maraige to be sweet and successful both parents need to bless d union

Ma I strongly disagree.

What ever happens to you in life does not depends on parental blessings. Parents should train up their children to be good individuals. The biggest responsibility of any parent is to train their child to be responsible not to choose their life partners. I have seen lots of marriages that crashed with parental blessings, I have seen partners that dies with parental blessings, I have seen barrenness with parental blessings, I have seen retrogression with parental blessings, I have also seen all these negative things happen to those who did not get consent from their parents.

It all depends on fate and the couple

Before creating this topic, I tried to search nairaland to see if there's something like this but I couldn't find. The closest I saw were advices on how to go about things when your parents object to your marital decision.


If you have gotten married without your parents' consent, what was your experience? Can you kindly share, so everyone can learn?

SECOND TRUE LIFE STORY.

Let me first state that the success of every marriage or home has nothing to do with parental consent. It strictly depends on both couple. Otherwise we wouldn't have high rates of divorce today. If a marriage won't last or if there would be an adverse event, it would happen anyway, whether there is parental blessing or not. I can prove it. Again, if it is possible to get the blessings of your parents, please do as this will promote family bonding and unity. However, if it is not possible and you are convinced, damn the consequences (which is largely social) and marry the person you love. Your parents have lived 2/3 of their lives, you are perhaps close to 1/3.

Now to the real life event.....
My friend's parents married without parental consent and they are doing extremely well, one of the most successful families I know. The major issue was tribal. The man was Yoruba while the woman Igbo. The man's parents refused stating all sort of reasons, they first attributed it to God, then they said they visited some prophets and then later said the marriage will not be blessed with children. The guy insisted, and married the girl. The girl's parents also didn't agree. They said she was their only daughter and they wouldn't want her to go into a family that don't appreciate her. Her father was very bitter. They both sat down and decided to go ahead almost with no consent from both sides (little support from the woman's side). When the man's parents found out, they disowned him (maybe not officially, they said they don't want to ever see him again). A lot happened within the period.

The man is a top engineer, the woman a big business woman, they are both close to 70 years and their children are doing well (some are abroad as doctors, engineers and lawyer). Both families eventually reconciled and are in good terms till date. When the man's father was sick, it was my friend's mother that took care of him till he passed on. She became his favourite and he was always praying for her and her children.



My dearest friends, look before you leap. If there is an obvious reason, for instance you went to school up to PhD and you bring home a school cert, your parents may not agree based on that, or perhaps you bring home a known criminal that will endanger you your life, if I were your parent, I won't support it. In the absence of any genuine reason, forget the talk about "what I am seeing". Nobody can see for you, only God can. Pray to him and let him direct your steps. If you are good and meet a good partner, your marriage will blossom with prosperity.

@Olumyde. This topic will always be a controversial one. I strongly believe in parental blessing. However, not all parents mean well for their children, vice versa, otherwise parents wouldn't sell their kids for money or children use their parents for rituals. Some people are damn wicked even to their family members. In such a case, should the lady/guy wait for ever?

I will tell you two true life stories. Firstly, my parents, and then a close family friend's parents.

My grandparents didn't want my mom to marry my dad for reasons best known to them. My mom went ahead without their blessing of any member of her family. She knew she loved the man and that was enough. They tried everything humanly possible to separate them to no avail, they even cursed/abused her (note that they are from same tribe, different village). For over 5 to 10 years, my dad did not step into his in laws house. I wouldn't want to go into so much details. That union is blessed with 3 men and 1 woman, we are all above 30 years and prospering to the glory of God. My dad became the best in law of my maternal grandparents before their demise and the whole family is together and prospering. My mom still says her life would have been miserable if she didn't marry my dad. I wouldn't be typing this today if she wasn't strong willed. They later accepted the bride price several years after they married officially (not cohabiting).

Second story is even more interesting.

omicron:
You are welcome.

I was advising based on the experiences of many people who had similar circumstance as you do now, and also assuming that your visa is multiple entry and still valid.

However, you can mail UKVI if you want. It Won't be an issue, I think.

All the best

Thank you so much @omicron.

Yes, its multiple entry, and valid till June.

justwise:


Do both for the sake of your next renewer and POE

Thanks boss.

OmoBendel24:


You can at least do that in my opinion, to be doubly prepared for future eventualities. Did your visa issuance process take more than the standard time it takes before it got approved? I really don’t see how it is really a fault of yours that you didn’t use it for the intended purpose especially if the application was submitted in the first few days of December week 1 tops. I also think your profile can soften their strictness towards you too, somehow someway....

The application was submitted in the first few days of December. Notification from TLS came a day after our proposed travel date. However when I picked up our passport, I saw that the VISA was approved 10 days before TLS contacted us. If they had contacted us on time, we would have definitely travelled.

Thanks for your response

omicron:
It will not be a problem as your visa is valid at time of the exam. However in your next UK visa application you must explain why you didn't travel anymore with the kids, and how you booked for the exam since visa was valid and how you supported yourself if you stayed longer than you had proposed.

Hmm, you don't think I should at least mail them to let them know my plans have changed.

Thanks for your response.

justwise:


You may not have a smooth entry into the UK because your initial plan has changed considerably

What do you advise, should I send a mail to them, or should I land there with my wife, then stay back while she returns to Nigeria.

@justwise and all the gurus in the house, I need your advise.

My wife and I applied for UK visitors VISA last December, to travel on 26th December 2018. The purpose of the trip was to visit a friend, spend the new year with his family and return on January 7th 2019. However, our VISA wasn't ready until the new year (2nd Jan 2019). We also stated that we will travel with our children who are Americans (but didn't apply for a VISA for them).

I have registered for a professional exams in March and should travel to UK end of February. Is there any need to send a mail to the UK embassy explaining my new purpose of visit and the duration.

If I decide to travel without mailing the consulate, will there be any consequences if I eventually appear alone in London (without my wife and children).

Thank you in anticipation of your response.

Psychodavidovic:


Interest on days gets added on the next available work day.

Lets say you earn 100 naira daily, on Saturday nothing will be added, on Sunday nothing will be added and on monday, 300 will be added.

What about public holidays

Is the interest constant or it fluctuates...

Hey guys. I'm new to this money market fund. I have subscribed to IBTC MMF. I noticed my interest only accumulates on work days. Is this the norm. I heard interest should be daily irrespective (including weekend and public holidays).

Experts in the house, please clarify.

Congrats! Good timeline. Go and shine!

There should be an email contact on your letter. Send an email explaining your situation and ask for an extension of the deadline to submit your passport covering your time of travel.

There is no email. They just sent the PPR, no email attached should there be any complaints

joo2018:
Congrats.

2 wks? If you don't want to be under pressure you can request for an extension.

However, we need your timeline and story, pls share.

What's the process of requesting an extension.

Good morning all, this is an addendum to the vfs experience.
The fees is now #16,610.
The courier fee #9,700/ passport
SMS charge #550.
It's advisable not to go with laptops, you ll v to drop it at the business centre at the cost of #200.
This was my experience on 11/10/2018.
It's pretty straightforward, less than an hour.
Many thanks.

Thanks. So a family of 4 would pay N9,700 X 4, yeah?

Hello great people.

Please what is the standard time from PPR to COPR. I got a request to submit my passport. I plan to submit on Monday, however I need to use my passport on the 31st of October. Will my passport be ready for collection within 2 weeks or should I send a mail to CIC requesting an extension. There was no option of sending a mail to them or requesting an extension in the PPR mail I received. I have 15 days to submit my passport, starting from yesterday.

My thought exactly with 12k margin?? But we still need to pray cos aregbesola, tinubu and the rest can do and undo

They can't anymore. They would have used Ilesha East but failed.

Announced by INEC
Ilesa East

Adeleke of PDP has won. There is hardly anything Oshogbo vote can do now with a margin up to 12k

You can't sleep o. Ilesha East and Ife East are outstanding
