Another desperate blogger.

Burntpalace:
Shuu!!

All this because some pained, spineless polymonikering vermin threw a shot at me in the scam thread?

Shots were fired at others too.

Kimoni:
Calm down and take a cup of Efe's grass solution

Lol!

I need to charge you for it you know. Ain't nothing good coming free ma'am.

Mindfulness:
I haven't read the story because I ran out of this thread when I saw the pictures. I don't want to see such pictures. They make me feel bad and I want to feel good.

There are many possible reasons why she would have married the guy despite the warning signs and possibly there is a combination of factors.
I can't blame her and I don't want to judge her because I have not been walking in her shoes. I am sure an independent and emotionally healthy lady wouldn't have brought it upon herself but since not everyone is psychologically sound, it is difficult for me to judge her based on the fact that I consider it sick. There are also plenty of ladies, especially in countries such as Nigeria, who marry because they are unable to take care of themselves and an abusive husband is the lesser of the two evils from their perspective.

Then at what point does common sense kick in? Seems like it isn't really that common afterall - especially when Nigerian women chose their partners, based on shaky foundations.

cococandy:
Okay the cancer bit may make me consider it.
Can't one tweak the taste at least?
Add something to reduce the chalky taste and the grassy smell.
Maybe lemons or honey. I don't know

I think so.

Her friends tried it with a bit of ginger (yuk) and some sort of pepper.

When I tried mine at work, I was given a slice of apple to go with it. I just gulped the drink in one go, then had the apple later. But now, watching the YouTube videos on it, it seems one is meant to savour the taste for at least a minute or so in the mouth, so that it really "seeps in" to the blood stream before reaching the digestive juices within the stomach (or something to that effect).

cococandy:
Phew. I must commend your discipline.

Burntpalace:
Eww! Can just imagine the grassy smell.

Ladies, watch this o!

Helps increase your red blood cells, helps with digestion, detoxes the body, helps prevent cancer, helps reduce monthly period cramps, improves your skin...gosh check out her skin!

damiso:
I think we can just pour green smoothie in the eba or what do you think it becomes green straight? Or ebbage the 'healthy' eba made with greens?

LMAO!!!

cococandy:
efe don't try this again

I plan to. At least once or twice a week in the mornings. I know it smells and tastes horrible but it think it could quickly become an acquired taste.

ifyalways:
So, I took my time to report all the offensive posts and quotes which would " hide" the posts but a moderator or super- moderator came in and undid it.

Obviously, whichever moderator that un-hid those posts is enjoying all the curses and insults flying around here since morning.

God is watching y'all especially those mocking or rejoicing at a bereaved member.

Seun, come and see the handiwork of your moderators.

Are you sure, Ify?

Look again. I think they're hidden.

cococandy:
arghhhh

cococandy:
How did it taste efemenaxy?

Thick and chalky.

And it smelt like freshly mowed grass too.

She didn't "deal" with him.

This thread's title is misleading, @OP. The woman basically let him carry on with his shenanigans and ended up wasting the best part of her life putting up with nonsense. Thirty years later, after losing her looks and business opportunities to make something of her life / build something for her kids, she turns around to say she "dealt" with him? How?

What a joke. It's obvious she's bitter. Who wouldn't be?

Anyway, her advice should come with a serious health warning. 30 years of infidelity and she preaches "let him be". AIDS is real and is no respector of age, class, background, financial status, religion, etc. Anyone who chooses to fold their arms and DO NOTHING should be aware they do it at their own risk.

But then again, becoming a hotbed for a host of STDs and other nasties isn't that much of a deterrent to many people, I suppose...

ifyalways:
No be me and you Efe.

The only thing close to your " grass drink" that will be going down my throat is my green smoothies (avocado and water melon", nothing else. Grass kwa?
Welldone but I no drink.

Think of the health benefits Ify.

What if that drink has got some serious anti-aging oxidants in there? Stuff to make your skin forever look like an 18 year old's? You nor go drink am?

damiso:
Was continue to say green lentils cos contrary to what our teachers told us lentils do have carbs

I was hoping for the equivalent of eba / yam. Something heavy and green.

I suppose green isn't meant to be heavy and unhealthy, otherwise that would beat the purpose of it being a light, albeit "healthy green" in the first place.

Eketem:
I find this a little exaggerated.

She doesn't need these groups or " friends " if they would rather see her dead or in pain and misery. She didn't come into the world with groups or friends.

Landlords I doubt , I know loads of women single, divorced, single moms who rent apartments, that theory is outdated, most landlords just want you to pay up on time and not destroy their property.

Any woman even married women are fair game to men, it is up to you to say No if you are not interested. A woman isn't a helpless choiceless thingy

Are you saying there's support out there for victims (females) of domestic abuse?

Did the police help her? Would her religious representative help her? You think her parents didn't know she was going through this and yet she remained rooted to the spot?

Pls let's be real and face the ugly truth. She had no support structure in place. She knew it. The man most definitely knew it too, hence him taking so much liberties with her.

Mindfulness:
This is extremely disgusting.

Be objective.

She must have listened to "extremely disgusting" advice in the first place to get to this point. Think about it, she got pregnant shortly after marriage but the abuse started even before the pregnancy. So it most likely began well before they got married. The signs were there but she clutched on. Why she did is another topic of discussion. Point is, she knew what his tendencies were but was "hoping he'll change".

Is she a kid? At what point should common sense have kicked in? I'm sorry but I strongly believe she brought this on herself.

taryour:
Naaa don't be angry, not intended. read your moniker on one of the post. don't mind me. How are you and all yours??

No worries, I'm good.

You and yours?

naijababe:
Green lentils soup nko? Shebi lentils get carbs for inside

Abeg, I am going out for sushi................good luck finding a green carb o

Lol! Now that's a good one. Green lentils soup.

I also found something called green pebble soup on google.

My sister enjoy your sushi - later

Edamame - green beans!

Naijababe I already mentioned green beans / lentils. Besides, that's protein. Green carbs abeg. Damiso, any suggestions?

naijababe:
I missed the green part ni! It will have to be vegetarian though.

Ok, try Edamame in garlic with the juice from my previous post (feel free to remove the ginger and carrot) and you are done

Edamame? What's that abeg?

Lemme go check google before I disgrace myself this evening.

taryour:
This is supposed to be a fun room. can't believe what my eyes are reading. haha kimoni not you.... Ewuro4 chia. ... what happened na. Efemenaxy please ooo and the rest a beg let it rest. usually I it's fun reading efights but definitely not this. This wasn't fun one bit. It is well.

??

What are you talking about? D'you see me fighting Taryour? Abeg don't drag me into this.

naijababe:
The real McCoy as in the real thing na

For your meal, try grilled sea bass with roasted sweet potatoes/parsnips. Wash down with a juice of one apple, 2 sticks of celery, one carrot and thumb of ginger

But Sea bass and sweet potatoes aren't green na.

What I want is a meal that's absolutely green in colour. No whites, yellows, oranges, red, etc. Just pure green. I'm thinking, green beans / lentils for protein, green apples, grapes, avocado for vitamins. But carbs?

It's a holiday.

Special "me time" for the couple, away from family, friends, work, and heck - real life.

The honeymoon is meant to be heaven on earth. Paradise until real life kicks in.

Kimoni:
I'm a nun

Sure, you are.

naijababe:
Yes it does look diluted, the real McCoy is almost forest green in colour

Damiso, na you be the real fitness winch, chai!!! You went for a run today

I am not worried about December, I started my healthy eating last October and rode out the festive period! If I can do it then, I can do it now. I drank wine like crazy on Xmas day though

So it's called McCoy. Okay, noted.

Don't mind Damiso jare.

Ladies, can I pick your brains? I've always fancied having a totally green but balanced meal. (Proteins, carbs, and vitamins). What can you suggest for me? Don't mind if it's brekki, lunch, or supper. I think what I'd really like to know is: Are there any green carbs out there?

Kimoni:
That thing that induces alert on your phone every month end and brings a smile to your face. It also comes after a good financial year. Infact, this type is capable of taking you to cloud9

Ah! I thought you meant the other kinda "sotin".

No wahala, all join.

damiso:
Let me check my fitness pal.

damiso:
Abi o .. I actually think it's doable. Like you said turkey is ok especially as it will be roasted. Instead of over indulging on the desserts one can allow for a few and portion control too. Instead of a large piece of cake maybe half?
And yeah sugary drinks too.
I will really try not to go overboard .

I'm not worried about the turkey though. What I am skeptical about is the gravey. Isn't it fattening?

It wouldn't be a problem if people like you don't bang on about it in the first place.

Kimoni:
I strongly disagree

It's a phase...when there are bigger issues, the last thing you are bothered about is a full fledged grown man not eating your food. Especially when it's a reoccurring thing.

Do you know how difficult it is to get children to eat? The petting, cajoling? Not to mention the threats

And you'll finish with all that and start worrying about an adult not eating...hehehe

The thought alone is annoying in itself. Don't mind 5minsmadness jare.

Eketem:
Well the society is not the one with a chopped ear. Anyway let her stay for society, she may need the nose to be chopped off too so the look can be balanced.
I no get power abeg, women should stop hiding behind " My kids, The society"

Think about it.

She'll be ostracized from her local women's group / meetings. Her presence alone there would be the source of hot gossip and an example of what a good woman shouldn't be. Her married friends will suddenly be cagey towards her. Wouldn't want to have anything to do with her and certainly won't want her visiting their matrimonial home as her single status suddenly makes her a potential "husband snatcher".

Landlords won't want to rent their property to her as they'll see her as a trouble maker. Unscrupulous male bosses / co-workers will see her as fair game to chase. The list goes on...all because she didn't endure right through to the very end like a good wife.

damiso:
It Kuku did o that's why hubby was shaking his head

I had to defrost myself when I got back home.

I am trying to be good cos I don't trust myself in December

They say turkey (white meat) is good.

I'll still keep away from sugary drinks and sweet / chocolaty stuff (I hope) But come to think of it, if we've come this far - can't we successfully conquer the December and January festive temptations?

Eketem:
I don't get these kind of women. If she doesn't love herself enough to walk away from an abusive husband then no one else can help her.

If she walks away, she would be tagged a "failure" of a woman who couldn't keep her home together. Your average Nigerian society is unforgiving and unsupportive of the plight of women who walk away from their husbands, despite their lives being at risk.
