Supreme145: Good morning N'landers, I will make this post as brief and concise as possible.
Some months ago while I was home on break from school, I visited one of my in-laws that owns a school to introduce a software to him for his school. The man complained that I was too distant from him, citing how I never call him or ask him for favours whenever I'm in school. I told him I will reach out to him more often.
I told my mom about my visit and she told me without mincing words to resist collecting money from the man. My mom is the religious type and has been skeptical about the man's source of wealth.
When school resumed things were difficult at home and I couldn't resume school. I spent close to three months after resumption at home due to lack of funds. Note that since my admission from my first year to my final year, I've never asked any relative for help no received any help from anyone aside my immediate family.
I lost my resolve not to ask for help when my project supervisor called me and scolded me over the phone for my inability to resume school. I sent the man a text soliciting for help, he sent me 5k which I added to the little I had and resumed school. I didn't tell my mom because I knew she won't be happy about it.
In school things were so hard for me, during a particular period I went almost one week living on just water, that period I'm sure I would eaten food sacrificed to a deity if I had access to one. I called the man again and he reluctantly sent me 4k after many calls and text messages.
This early morning I got a phone call from my mom, she was crying over the phone. She was hurt and said I betrayed her because I went behind her back to collected money from a man she told me to avoid. She said that singular act of mine has destroyed all her efforts and prayers to break us free from bondage. I tired to explain that the money wasnt a physical cash hence it has no effect on me but to no avail. She said I've broken her for life and she would never forgive me.
I have a very close relationship with my mom and everything she told me really hurt me and I'm confused on the action to take. I am 28 but I hardly hide anything from her, I didn't tell her about the money because I know she wouldn't approve of it and I needed it. This is the first time any relative has contributed to my education ever. I don't even know how she got to know.
Please how do I pacify her and get her to forgive me? I really love my mom and can't bear to see her this heartbroken.
Dude, God bless you. Please first of, go to God in prayer, ask Him to forgive you for disobeying your mum and that He should touch your mum's heart to forgive you. The bible says "the key to a kings heart is in the hands of the Lord and He, God, turns it where so ever He wills" then go to mummy on your goddamn knees lol. you will be shocked at her come back. You can even add tell her that you will gather the money and find a way to send it back to him.
JInseiMatters: Pastor Wf kumuyi was addressing infidelity in marriages, but this time he hit the nail at the very head. He turned to the Husbands and said if your WIFE is not BEAUTIFUL, its your fault. He went further to give an in-depth analysis and then proved his point.
The reason because most husbands (guys) compare their wives with other ladies, is because most times they see their wives at the wrong times while they see those other ladies at the right time. He said, most times Husbands see their wives when they are stressed up in kitchen, in the morning when they just woke up with stinking mouth and unkempt hair etc. However, they see those other ladies only in their best moments, when they dress to kill, with full make-up, bathed with expensive perfume, etc.
Dont forget to share their someone who need to watch this too.
VOOM! As a Christian sister who wish hair to look better than it is now, my first thought was about Pst Kuluyis wife. Just this morning and i wondered how she carries her hair. But then I said to myself "we can't know because she most likely always has it covered. Abig OP, lets see her various pictures at least her husband is talking about women's look. God wan answer my question.
y'all remember the thread I created back in 2018 ,well I did succeed adopting a child, I adopted her from a orphanage and I will say my experience during the process of adopting her was really difficult than I Imagined, first I was a single young guy not even in my mid twenties yet and I had tattoos and lil tjay and lil baby kind of hair styles (those familiar with them will know the kind of hair style I am talking about ) oh mhen the stereotyping was off the roof, what did they not say, is it been called a ritualist , mhen I was suffered by the abusive words that was unleashed on me by all those women but I didn't relent and finally after everything I succeeded,
At one point , I wanted to go with my mum at least to show that I had no ulterior motive but then again I thought to myself, you can do this on your own and I am glad I overcame.
I began the process in mid 2018 and it was not until it late 2018 that my application was granted, I then proceeded with the rest formalities and I took my daughter home, she was 3 when I adopted her .
The first thing I did when we got home was to change her wardrobe, I took her shopping and bought two big boxes filled with clothes and shoes, also bought some female toys and other stuffs.
She was shy at first around me but with time ,she got used to me and became more free with me.
Mehn I must say so far adopting her was one of the best decision I have ever made in my life , I even tattooed her name on my arm, made me more responble in a way
And also in addition, chicks dig babies, like babies are like ladies' magnet. I never believe those statements to be true till I got my baby, like mehn you need to see the attention I get because of her, I mean we get because of her.
Don't get me wrong, ladies trip and drool over me before she came into my life but the amount of attention I get before her more than doubled . Before y'all start thinking this is the major reason I am happy I adopted her , let it be known that this is the least reason why I am happy..
All-in all she is God's blessings to me and I bless the day that I made the decision in adopting her.
She is such an Angel and a darling
I love her so much
Fatherhood is sweet
Pictures of you and your daughter or i dont believe. And, guy, i need guidance on how to adopt a child too. How do we go about it biko
Khalidopa: Sorry for the late response. I've been offline for some time. I have no snail farm currently. However, we once owned one at home when I was still home. I was never the main role player. So the only clues I can help you with are: 1. We kept them safe; away from direct sunlight (about 8ft well constructed underground square pit). 2. We fed them mainly with banana and plantain pills (except in rare situations where they are given special supplements, which I know nothing about).
Khalidopa: The notion some people hold against snail farming with regard to its money building capacity is becoming very alarming, resulting in rapid decrement at the rate which people venture into it.
However, the good news is that you can strike a difference, take advantage of the market and enjoy some level of at least, regional monopoly.
Here are some reasons you may consider before taking decision:
Healthwise An average snail is comprised of 80% water, 15% protein and 2.4% fat. They contain essential fatty acids, calcium, iron, selenium, magnesium and are a rich source of vitamins E, A, K and B12. The benefits of snail slime were recognised in ancient Greece by Hippocrates who used it to heal skin and ulcers and to reduce scarring.
Moneywise Snail slime is one of the (if not the no. 1) most expensive animal waste in the world. Currently, the average international price of slime is $1,000 per liter. Snail slime is a very expensive commodity and the market is worth over 360 million US dollars globally.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Hi, do you have a snail farm. I just acquired some snails and I don't have a clue how to take good care of them especially how to get their aready prepared and ready to buy calcium foods. Please help
Naaa, the guy is much younger but ehn the thing dey shock me. I will take a pix xith him someday but my fear is that i hope it will not put me in trouble.

Aforxzy: It's could be boring being alone and single.
I learnt how to prepare different delicacies. So my saturdays were my practical days. I invite my friends over sometimes or share the food with my good neighbor. On Sundays, I'm involved in alot of activities in the church that extends to mid afternoon. When i get back home I'm preparing for work.
I love movies and watch alot when there's nothing to do or just surfing the internet for gists, gossips and updates.
I just an idea from you. Thanks. Time to fight this boredom
Kobojunkie: There is no such thing. Proverbs 31 was written by a woman who was married to a man that had 699 other wives and 300 concubines - Lemuel's mother in the Bible.
What she described there in Proverbs 31 was not a human being but a machine.
