MizMyColi: Efemenaxy I'm disappointed you of all people would ask this question. No, actually I'm annoyed with you. The fact that you even mention it and think circumcision would make her clitörïs look better means you must have considered it deep down in you and that's worrying. Your aunt sounds very old school and I'll advise you NEVER to leave your daughter alone with her. That abhorrent act was instigated by folks from the olden days to subdue the girl child. Apart from the numerous complications that ensue, it puts the child's life at risk. |
Career › Re: 7 Ways Nigerian Bosses Abuse Their Staff by EfemenaXY: 9:05am On Nov 25, 2016 |
dangotesmummy: Lol. Everything in Nigeria is a miracle to get admission miracle to graduate after 4 years miracle to get employed miracle for your employers to give you your entitlements and salary THAT YOU WORKED FOR O not dash money - miracle. You will even beg,prostrate ,lobby to collect YOUR OWN SALARY
As a matter of fact that your boss paid you your salary in Nigeria is a privilege
In Nigeria every thing has been so basterdized. Nigeriand have been so abused, trampled under, enslaved and used that they don't even know hence the aggressive behaviour on the roads when driving which is even a symptom of depression and pain living and working in a toxic environment like Nigeria.
Imagine working in a company and you're promised heaven and earth at the end of the month it's stories and excuses you get why your salary hasn't been paid
Then you get home no light. You meet a nagging wife telling you how she was better In her fathers house and how you married her to suffer her .the kids come home to tell you THE school management didn't allow them sit for exams because you haven't paid their school fees
Your landlord comes demanding for his money for house rent
Nepa Bill is there you will still pay for the light you hardly use Lawma bill is there
You drive on the road you have to have 6 eyes.2 in front another 2 at the back and two by the sides so that mad road users don't bash your car and besides the police guys stationed on the road to ensure smooth driving on the roads are either jisting away or eating or reading news paper and could care less if your car is bashed or theres traffic congestion or an accident.so you have to be extra watchful so you dont have to pay from an irregular and unstable income to fix your car
Even commercial drivers will park on the road to pick passengers and cause more traffic and delay for others going to work because they just don't care and know police cannot do anything about it because the police don't care as long as money has changed hands You still have to buy fuel to fuel your generator and do basic things yet YOU wonder why Nigerians are so angry frustrated and aggressive. The answer is not far from you.we live in a toxic and frustrated society and you wonder why churches are so full every Sunday with people looking for hope miracle job husband wife children etc
Actually the church is now the last hope for Nigerians that's why fake pastors aka buisness men are maximizing that opportunity to enrich themselves
So you see all these things are a vicious cycle. We're gradually degenerating into Thomas Hobbes description of the state OF nature
Living with all these daily challenges that has become a way of life there's no how your life span won't be shorter,you won't fall sick ,depressed, narcissistic or even go gaga

I like sex but I can do without it however am concern about the future of a marriage without a committed emotional attachment... what should I do? Sounds like he's got a low sex drive. |

@ op.  The 2 nd and 4 th examples are just wack! Seriously??  dangotesmummy: Because they always want prove a point The wife wants to prove she's fertile to avoid societal mockery the husband wants to prove he's a man The mother inlaw on both sides wants to see their grandkids Money planning and common sense is not an important factor in polygamous homes THE number of children a woman can produce is a basis of competition for example the first wife has 3 children the second wife wants to prove that shes more fertile so she must have 5 to show she's better than the other wives. I remember the story of a man with 4 wives my mom told me of in her former place of work.each of the wives wanted to show she's the most fertile. If the first one has 2.the second one will vow to have 4,the third one will vow to have 9 etc until the man went financially bankrupt as he couldn't cater for the kids so he ran away from home Next Lol! Finish your story jor. What happened next? Did the missing in action runaway father return? How did the women cope in his absence?? |

@op, it all depends on what you want.
The way I see it, if you like living life on the fast lane, then the young man will take you round the world faster than the speed of sound.
If you want a down-to-earth, solid, reliable partner who in your words gets straight to the point with no mind games, then go for the older man.
I'd personally choose stability and peace of mind every day over uncertainty and potential heartbreak. |

finewoman: hello guys, we are having dis argument in d office so i would love to hear ur opinion abt it, is it wise or not to tell your wife the exact figure you earn and why? A man might have his reasons for not disclosing his true income to his wife such as her being a spendthrift. Being careless with money is just as immature as hiding the truth from them rather than getting them to think and act responsibly. Additionally, hiding the truth from one's spouse only serves as a breeding ground for mistrust and problems in the long run for both parties. |

Mindfulness: Your second name should be self-discipline. 
Today I am starting to eat fruits five times a day. Wish me luck on that. I hope, I will remember to do so and won't get tempted to go for some chocolate before I induce some vitamins into my system.
Happy Sunday my dear. How was your week? Happy Sunday to you too darling  Re: self-discipline, it's hard and doesn't come easy. What helps is going for the healthy options work best for you. I love cucumbers and tomatoes and can never seem to get enough of them. I dislike those vitamin pills and always try to nourish myself with the real thing (fresh fruits). D'you know that most West Africans tend to be anaemic especially if you've got heavy periods? I try to keep my iron levels up with a good dose of green drinks every morning: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, celery, ginger, etc. It's made into a smoothie with crushed ice and tastes absolutely vile but is good and healthy  |

AustaCee: That's really the hard part....Been hoping he will change before marriage.
cc: Onegai Sisioge Efemena XY Cococandy Yieldings Byvan Ishilove Ah! Only just seeing this. You've already been given a lot of good advice on here but in addition to that, I'd like you to reflect on what I'm about to tell you. Marriage is beautiful only if you get to spend the rest of your life with the right person, but...at the same time, it is complicated. Complicated because marriage isn't plain sailing. It's not a straight path. It's like finding your way through a maze of hills and valleys. You climb one hill then sight 2 or 3 ahead of you. You get over those and find 5 or 6 more. Then afterwards you might find just one more then several more. What I'm trying to say is that life throws series of curveballs at us. Some we catch, some we miss, but it will keep throwing them at us. You will be better placed to handle all of these only if you have the right partner by you. Someone who is compatible with you, shares the same goals, aspirations, beliefs. Unfortunately no one comes with signs written on their forehead of what they really are now, if they'll change tomorrow, or what they'll be like in 20, 30, 40, 50+ years from now. What we / you can do is study the person (which is what you've been doing) and communicate your concerns with them. I notice you've done your observations but haven't discussed properly with him. I'll come to that in a bit. Your mother (bless her), has raised some valid concerns which I think you shouldn't treat lightly. She's mentioned the poor treatment of women by the menfolk of his place. A good indication of how a man MIGHT treat his wife would be by how the father treated/ treats his mother. I'm not saying this will be the case 100% of the time but it will give you a fairly good indication. A male child who grew up seeing his father maltreat the mother will most likely follow in the dad's footsteps because it's all he's ever known and will think it's the norm. How does your boyfriend's dad treat his mother? How do the men in his family treat their women? If not good, then ask him his opinion and what he thinks. Listen attentively to what he says without interrupting him. Finance: A lot of Nigerian men while dating do not like broaching this. This is a mature topic for mature minds and since you're considering marriage - an adult venture - you MUST discuss this with him, no matter how uncomfortable it is for either of you. Ask him what his views on money management are. How would finances be taken care of? What happens when the kids start coming? How many kids will you both be able to comfortably afford? Who provides what? Joint accounts or separate? What happens when you're unable to earn? Or if he loses his job? Your career: How long will your career be on hold for? Or will you be expected to give it up completely? Schools: What sort of schools do you plan on sending your kids to? Private? Or state owned? Religion: Are there any religious differences between you both? If there are, how do you plan on bridging the gap? What happens when the kids arrive? These are the sort of questions you should be asking him now, not later. And I tell you this: his honest responses to these will give you an indication of whether or not he is the right one for you, and not whether he is materially rich or poor now. It is far better to be with a materially poor, but emotionally & psychologically rich man who would place you on a pedestal and respect and treat you right like his queen everyday of your life.... Than to be hooked up with the opposite (materially rich, emotionally & psychologically poor who would make your life a living hell). Scratch a bit deeper and discover what resides beneath the surface. |

Why are you this wicked? The woman is hussling to be independent you are here trying to tear her down. Put yourself i in that mans position and let's see how happy you would be sitting at home and caring for your kids while your wife feeds you. The lady is planning how to balance her life, she can do her own private business no mater how small because it helps her be available for her 7month old while her man can try his luck at job hunting. She is not asking for money to open an ultra modern shopping center Na. Do you know the turture in a mans heart when he sees his family suffering lack? Do you know how she has been supporting him so that he does not break down? Do you even know how they cope at home? Please, don't test God. You may experience this same thing just so mother nature can help you appreciate the pain others are passing through. Abeg, let is be backbones for those who are weak amongst us. That is why we are not alone on earth. Oh really? Plsssssssss. Spare me the poorly attempted emotional blackmail. delishpot: Why deny that you have another acct? A simple yes I do would have been enough. Plus, if you are asking for money, your Id would still be known. Honesty is the best policy. Why the he'll would you lie to helpers? You totally denied to me a lie is more than a red flag. I would also investigate before helping you of I had the cash. Just like I believe someone who wants to do any financial transaction with me would also want to investigate me before doing so. You deny that you are who he suspect you of being. If you can tell a small lie, then you would certainly tell a big one is my principle. If you can have an excuse to tell a small lie, then you would have an excuse to always tell a lie . It may be a terrible mistake on your part, but it doesn't mean people would not take note. . I wish you just say you are sorry and move on but it seems you do not know the gravity of your action. Now I would think a billion times before I help anyone. Not fair to others who would be put through scrutiny for their genuine need for help and support. This is a case of one egg spoiling the whole lot. I wish you the best and I wish it ended well for you. I still wish it ends well for you. You've changed your tune. People like you deserve to be scammed several times over before the penny drops. |
