Babes!

Where've you been? You don miss gist tire, compliments of Edwife and Sambarry

SAMBARRY:
the answer is simple,

just like okada, keke maruwa and hawkers have their tax collectors, ashewos have their tax collectors that collect money from them and act as security that will protect them from being kidnapped or used as ritual scapegoat so the tax collector stands at the reception of the brothel and whichever man that steps in will write his name inside register and tick the girl he wants to see. Their names are already in the higher education note book at the counter. After they write their name and tick whoever they want to see at the counter then they can go in



By day break in the morning the tax collector will open the book since its in list


He will just check the index

E.g Sandra had 18 customers today
oluchi had 22
Nkechi had 6
Tayo had 25


So she will pay 100naira tax x18 customers. The amount there is what she will pay for the progress of the business

Choi!

You even sabi how dem dey run their biz...

But yeah, it sounds very organised. Similar to a program that was on telly a few weeks ago. Something about Mega Brothels in Germany or so.

cococandy:
I'm good. ish.
how are you?

I'm good oh!

Just chilling with the girls here, trying to make the most of the remaining weekend. I wish I could close my eyes, and when I open them again, it's Friday evening.

remsonik:
Funny enough na dem they mugu pass....their mumu button na all over. They will wash their wives pant sef.

They won't leave the married to advise themselves.... Shioorr
Nonsense

Lol!

Take it easy, sister.

cococandy:
I miss them more. but i thought aisha was a different person from debrief?

Coco..howdy?

Yeah, she said they were different but the similarities to me were just too much....

SAMBARRY:
How i go dey put money inside braziya

fine girl like me

na all those goat meat butchers dey put money inside dross

how I knew was when I wanted to buy goat meat and I had given the man money the next thing was he stood up and started untying his trousers and putting squeezed money inside. When I asked why he's keep money there he said because of armed robbers that wait fo them in the bustop to robb them in the evening when they close for the day


so na for wallet I dey keep am though I dey push am for inside my waist and the jeans trousers will hold it especially when I'm doing night shopping for some kain market for ikorodu

Gosh! At times like this, you sound soooooo much like Kanwuliajare!

You're not getting it jare. e get as e be if you wan hide money inside there. You go "package" the thing well-well, so so one go suspect.

Okay, as an alternative, you can hide it in a single knot at the edge of your wrapper, old-mama-style.

So you dey do night market too? Be careful sha.

edwife:
I was beginning to love carefree and got along very well,just for her to leave us.....

Well i know they will comeback,at least aisha will.

They were all very cool ladies.

You'd have loved Ile too. Just that you two got off on the wrong foot. I loved that gal sha (no homo)..

edwife:

My sister, I don't oh!

If I'm not too tired (very unlikely), I just about manage to watch the BBC1 News headlines before drifting off.

edwife:
Efe if you have an account back home,better go do BVN
BVN is a biometrics identification of customers in the financial industry launched by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in February 2014, which is aimed at revolutionising the payment system in the country.
"Derrière" simply means behind.... bring herself here to do it....

Ah! Okay.

SAMBARRY:



that one too is another case on its own with those Agberos lurking around waiting for you to forget your wallet where you bought pepper

If you hide your Tassan Nairas in your bra, your money nor go ever lost. Unless dem wan chook hand inside dia.

shaybebaby:
gawd!! lmao!!!

Why una dey laff me?

Isn't that how they used to do "it" in those days?

SAMBARRY:

***Faints!!**

Sambarry!!!

edwife:

I will have to really look for it,you have just given me an idea.... ;I think Peckham will be the place to go to,i am definetely certain we will find it there.o lala game night....

Lol! Na you and Jennykadry spoil me reach like this. I just dey jejely copy una dey go.

Yeah, I hear BIMS is a very popular African (Nigerian) shop there. But the woman nor dey ever smile jor.

SAMBARRY:
Especially with all those awon omo yahoo yahoo that has made online transactions a pain in the neck. No be for nigeria you go dey do online shopping. Even online fraudsters have stepped up their game


they will feign they are selling so so goods and convince you to the point that you will buy more than what you need. By the time you realise you've been swindled, water don pass garri

Do you mean the online payment systems aren't secure? Or they sellers simply have the gift of the gab to make you buy more than you initially intended? If the latter's the case, then there's nothing yahoo-yahoo about it na. Man must eat. Abi?

edwife:
Don't mind sambarry ,that's how chilli refused to bring her derrière to London because of 80£.....

Sambarry can even price a human being sef.....

Seriously, you ladies completely lost me that day.

What's a BVN and which one come be "derrière" again?

edwife:
Efe how you take know?

It sweet me pass anything whenever i go to the village,my MIL will be doing it and i always take the stone from her and do it....

Okay let's us say it is for fun i do it not like an obligation.

As for online shopping,na my enemy number one,i got to touch what i buy.....

Growing up, I never cared to learn how to use that thing, but looking back now, I wish I did.

D'you suppose they sell them in SE London?

Make I do "African Theme Night" with hubby. But I'll need to gat me some clay pots to go with it.... And practice tying my Ankra in a single knot behind my neck...you know, so when the time comes for some Jigijigi whilst lying on our sides on strawmats, all oga has to say in your typical African Romantic way will be, "Oya mama Efe, open legz..."

SAMBARRY:
Of course I still prefer the convenientional African shopping where you can choose what you wan gan gan and you can price, move around till you see a seller that is ready to sell for you at your terms. I don't dig the online shopping o jare except when I'm in a grocery store and I'm cash trapped i can use pos.and because of this longer throat sales girls that will say there's no change so that you can be forced to leave your change with them

Kia!

You're worse than Chillisauce.

So your Tassan Nairas nor dey ever miss road?

SAMBARRY:
The bottom line is CHOICE

some people feel washing machine doesn't wash jeans clean compared to hand washing. To each her own sha


Hawa you anyway. Hope you are good? It's been a while

I dey suspect you Kulyie.

Just admit it. You be the handwashing-Canoe-soap-in-an-iron-bucket kinda girl.

Go on, admit it.

Just as Edwife na hitch-my-wrapper-grinding-stone-kind-of-girl...

I'm good. You? Happy Sunday!

5minsmadness:
No grandmother I know has such hot ankles... Just saying....

5minsmadness:
Grabs her by those lovely ankles
Ah! Sista mi! No vex na... Na joke I dey

***Smacks his hands off!***

Have some respect boy! Don't you know I'm old enough to be your grandmother??

5minsmadness:
JFL


means

JUST FOR LAFFS


I'm bored sh!tless at home jor, lazy hot Sunday afternoon. Was trying to see things from the guys perspective.
This trolling is hard work

Mtcheeeeeeeeeewww!!

I'm never gonna take you seriously again. Ever.

^^ Thanks.

edwife:
Lol Efe that was their choices which you and i have no control.What i am saying if you read my initial post,that was their time and they didn't die.If we are talking about this day and age,i totally agree but if you find pleasure in doing that-what is wrong there?

I know about the machinery for the egusi and even where i was raised for kassava leaves.

Herzempeter sorry for the misspell did share a picture in the kitchen one day and i was pleased,she didn't sound suffer-head to me.

The title of this thread very appropriately encapsulates @Op's mother's attitude towards slave labour.

She even had the option of using the electric blender but stated that hubby preferred it done with a grinding stone. So she did have that choice but didn't want to take it up. Yet she struggled through the later phases of her preganancy?

The sad part of all this is that there are many folks out there who still think like that today. How many threads have we got on here about some guys thinking a woman's worth is measured by how much she handwashes his tough, khaki jeans trousers?

Chillisause was right on the money. Again.

Hello Nairalanders,
My name is Adanma Onu,I am married with a 1 year and six months old baby girl,i have an issue going on in my life that has almost destroyed me.
Here is my Story, I am thirty-two years old,my husband is five years old older than me,we live in the Uk,I moved in to the UK six years ago as a student ,i met my husband in the UK too as we were both studying in the same school.i fell in love with him because he was a christian and i loved him dearly,fast warded we got married two years after we met.The quest for pregnancy began,i eventually got pregnant and had my baby January 2015.i started working after i graduated from school.my husband is working up till date and we both share the bill in the house,he pays the house bill,car-loan and i take care of my student loan,food,electricity,and council tax,he insisted we have a joint account which i oppose,i suggested that we can take a fixed amount of our monthly income and put it together towards our investment plans for the future.I discovered that he was not pleased with that idea and he says i am been secretive as am not open*Note that he knows what i earn in a month,He also made a rule that when i changed my car that i must buy the car in bought our name ,it was strange to me but i succumbed so as for peace to reign,When we have a fight and i talk he tags me as a Rude ,Non submissive woman,and i don't want his progress in life.

Fast warded he had an investment idea which require that we pump in some money,i had a saving of 500k and i gave him to support this cause,He doesn't appreciate what ever i do to make the home process go on smoothly,and whenever we have issues he would call his parents back in Abia and report to them this had open several times,Due to his way of stressing me i have had 3 miscarriages.3 weeks to the birth of my daughter he slapped and kicked me that i had to go into emergency labour before the excpected due date at the end of the whole process i had to go through cs section to save the life of the baby as i was in coma for hours after the delivery process.Now i have been thinking a lot as any little fight he involves his parents.Last month i was diagnosed with High Blood pressure which i never had before i married him,

I feel i am been used ,we have fought several times,My Brit neighbor called the police the last time we fought,when they came to our house we had to cover up as if everything was fine.he doesn't feel remorseful about the whole thing,My aunt in the Uk requested that i move in with her as she does not want to lose me that the trauma is too much for me to bear,He told me that if i misbehave again he would report me,My good nairalanders please what am i suppose to do in this scene,Genuine Advises are needed no insult please

Lastly is joint account a MUST in a marriage
How can a woman be more submissive in her marriage.

I am loosing it i don't want to Die because of Him.

Thank you all

Biko, you're married to him and not his parents. Him reporting you to his parents isn't going to achieve anything positive. They are in Naija and most likely don't understand how things work over here.

There are a lot of issues here and part of them is that your husband is basically trying to work the Naija mentality in a non-Naija environment. This can only work (to some extent) if you're both on the same level field / page, but you aren't, are you? And that explains the frustration.

Life in the UK is no walk in the park. It is tough and you both have got to be mentally strong to survive, else depression which is never far off from frustration will set in.

Anyway, all that is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. What I'm more concerned about is him raising his fists against you. He had no right whatsoever to do that, especially with you being pregnant. Why did you cover up when the police turned up? A couple of nights in police custody would have helped reset his brain and made him understand that violence is a no-no over here. You're very lucky to be alive and I hope you realise that.

I suggest you take up your aunt's offer. You definitely need a temporary separation and while you're apart, encourage him to attend Anger Management classes. He needs to learn how to keep his emotions in check.

In the meantime, focus on getting your health back in shape, whilst looking after that daughter of yours to the very best of your ability.

Stay strong and keep focused.

It is well.

edwife:
Well i said it was a luxury to some-and what is there in grinding tomatoes you gonna use to cook food for 3 or 4 people?

It is not like you are cooking for the whole state or neighbourhood but a family of 4 or 5.

I have tried using it on my short stay in the village and did not find it that hard at all,besides these women we are talking about were wired to take such challenges.

Even in the village market, on market days, you can get your tomatoes et al blended. Come to think of it, they don't all use electricity to run those machinery. They're hand-held devices you just rotate. As you pour your egusi in, with the left hand, rotate with the right and collected the nicely grounded stuff in a polythene bag.

You ask what's wrong with bending down on all fours to grind away?

One word. ARTHRITIS.
