Family / Re: What Do You Bring To The Table !! by ekerintee: 5:20pm On Nov 28, 2023
so what happens if the man is not financially strong like the woman, the woman will just fold her hands and will not support .You dont need to tell a resaponsible woman to help in little things.If there is a monthly bill of 500k , what stops the woman from voluntarily paying 50k.if a man earns very well to carry 100% of the bills, nothing is wrong if he carries it 100% but what i see now are bunch of women who dont care if the man is able to carry all d load, all they after is for the man to carry all even if he will steal or do rituals for them to live comfortably.There is no fast rule,every family is differnt.A man and woman shud support each other,there is nothing wrong if a woman decides on her own to be responsible for some aspect of the bills as a way of support.






Wisegeek01:
Here's the opinion you wont see anywhere on the internet . .. and you are hearing it for the first time
Sit tight !!


The phrase what are you brining to the table .. has grossly been misunderstood, some men that even ask the question don't even know why they are asking the question, while on the other hand some women fly into a fit of rage or keep dodging the question, why they are angry they don't even know, its just a psychological impulse,

first of all it is not mandatory for the lady to actually bring finance into the mix but it helps so that should not be the centre of the question, so the men asking and referring to finance really shouldn't do that, focus on what she is supposed to bring

.. its not her job to bring finance, so if you are referring to that you are asking the wrong contextual question, a lady actually has what she should bring to the table, but sadly not a lot of ladies have taken their time to sit down and think about the question, because the are always offended or defensive, its just a simple question, that you need to understand, its not you mdfkn job to bring finance, that is what the man should bring to the table,

what the lady brings to the table .. ranges from
great values
Emotional Intelligence
Attention to Detail
Organizational Skills
Nurture and Care
Empathy and Compassion
Collaborative Spirit
Multitasking Abilities
Intuition
Social Skills
Diplomacy
Support

when you list these features and tell the man you posses these traits
now it's your turn to ask him
what does he bring to the table
...
he should have most of these below
finance
protection
security
Leadership
Decision-Making Skills
Stability
Emotional Support
Problem-Solving Abilities
Initiative
Adaptability
Sense of Humor
Integrity
Shared Responsibilities

marriage or relationship is team effort, not competition
the next time i hear that question in the wrong context I fit flog person cool grin

Politics / Re: Uber Facts And The FBI Files by ekerintee: 5:58pm On Oct 22, 2023
The annoying thing is that even the people who ordered for the files dont know what they will find there,it may be suprising that wht they expect to be inside the document will not be thereand they will have to look for another way. i read thru the website of the fbi and saw they can only release document that are releasable meaning what they want you to know smiley
What You Will Receive After FBI Processing
After records responsive to your request have been processed, you will receive the following items:

Releasable documents
An FOIPA release letter citing the number of pages reviewed, released, and any exemptions (Title 5, U.S. Code, Section 552/552a) that were applied during the processing of your request. Please see the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act exemptions for more information. If there were any duplication and/or processing fees associated with your request, costs and payment instructions will be provided to you in the letter.

Same way they were getting an erection before the CSU deposition only for the CSU to not only confirm that he graduated from their school but they provided transcripts that prove he did exceptionally well

The headless and thoughtless mob ran around with false interpretations because they could not read and comprehend until the BBC broke it down. They think CSU is ABSU

The only thing any documents from the FBI can do is exonerate him like they earlier did when Obasanjo wrote them through Tafa Balogun

Their wailing is about to take another dimension and I believe the files will help Asiwaju’s case at the Supreme Court just like the BBC report has

I want OBIdients to sit and think for one second though I know they are a headless mob, how many times have you tried to bring this man down since this year alone? How many things have you hoped will bring him down. Not a single one has and no FBI file would.

You will continue to fail as you have before and after the elections

Romance / Re: What's Your Opinion About Splitting Bills With Your Partner? by ekerintee: 2:49pm On Sep 29, 2023
i agree with you,if the man earns far well than the woman, he is capable of handling the whole bill but a situation in which the man is struggling to pay the bill and the woman sees him struggling.Its wickedness on the part of the woman to say the man must provide for the house.A responsible woman shud support even if its the least of all the bill,she can offer to pay that.The bills in the time of our fathers are not the same with the bills now.women need re-orientation, i think this ought to be settled before marriage

Not necessarily
. I think the institution of Marriage is abused in mordern day,Love no longer exist .What we see is women taking advantage of men and vice versa.A situation in which some women see the man as their Provider, some women now marry to secure a future and love is only there if the man has money.If he has none,love vanish.Before some folks will atack me, i said some women and also note some men also marry women for money and beauty, nt true love: We should not hide under christianity to decieve people :Most marriages are destroyed by men of God who preach wrong things on the altar, women no longer have respect for the men and vice versa,some men abuse their wife:personally, i think some people are never destined to be married but such people marry by force and end up destroying the institution of marriage.This people are those who never settle down in marriage , they keep jumping from one marriage to another , some women can never stay under a man because they are proud and its just their nature , no man can tame them, from this women , innocent men must run.Some men also can never keep one woman, the y cant keep a Home, no matter how goo dthe woman is, the man will scatter the Home and move to next woman, from such men run away, they are destroyers

i explained to a white guy about the situation in Nigeria.It goes like this, we both earn say 150k and i have 4 kids and you have 200 kids, whose kids will enjoy, Nigeria is so big , with a very large population, the resources cannot go round or rather our leaders dont know how to share the resources or mismanagement and looting coupled with other factor.Electricity has to be produced for this high population, Ghana(33,475,870) may be like Nigeria(218,541,212 )if they have same population. So , no basis of comparing Nigeria with any country in Africa ,Rwanda is 13,246,394 .I dont just get why people compare, its easy to manage a small business , its complex managing a big nation(business)

Crime / Re: Police Defend Drambi Vandi Who Killed Pregnant Lawyer, Call Him ‘Nice Man’ by ekerintee: 7:28pm On Jan 04, 2023
Life is a mystery,I bet many pple will attack U for this.bt looking at it from different point of view,d police need to investigate what happened,he has committed a crime and then he has to face the law,no excuse,perhaps he may be given a less sentence based on witnesses testifying about his good works, possibly a life sentence.some things happen that we don't know why,when someone known to be nice and quiet suddenly does something like that,it cud be village pple ,the woman waited for 7yrs for anoda child , expecting twins and then died from a bullet,it may not be ordinary,the policeman must face the law.May we not be used by the devil to bring sorrow to people






Think9ja:

To be honest, if you read what happened, you'll understand why the police is saying this.

From what we heard, it was a stop and search operation. The police man was said to have asked them to pull over. As they were waiting for the car in front of them to move so that they could park well, the unfortunate incident happened.

I mean, there was no justification whatsoever for him to have done that. The first thing that came to my mind when I read that story was accidental discharge of firearm.

The story went further to say that the suspect also threatened to shoot the sister of the deceased. Asin, does that look ordinary? I think he panicked or something like that.

Honestly, I feel for both families. The family of the deceased for losing a loved one and the family of the suspect for the shame and misery he brought to them. Thirty three years of service all gone down the drain in split seconds. He's definitely going to spend a long time in prison.

I know we're angry and disappointed. But after all the emotions, let's sit down to properly analysed what might have happened. Let's temper Justice with mercy.

Would I have said this if she was my loved one? I don't know.

RIP to her and I pray the family gets the fortitude to bear this grate lost and I pray justice is served.

I have brittle teeth. And I've removed 4.
So, the 3rd time I was to get my tooth removed. The dentist who was supposed to pull it out gave me injections to numb the site. Very painful stuff. But I don't know if they expired or something, because they didn't numb the pain well before he started.
He started like play like play.

Now this is just Lagos, other states in Nigeria is far far cheaper, I agree that security is an issue in Nigeria, this is due to the endemic poverty prevalent around. If you want to be contented with your wealth, you can setup a foundation and that will give you contentment.

Also in advanced countries, security is also an issue. France isn't safe, gun violence in the states, robberies in UK, maybe swiss is better.

Also you don't get to pay for Gas, TV and so much of what the advanced countries tax their citizens.

I think it's luck when you have a submissive wife in this generation.when you apply the principle with a wrong woman,marriage 2ill never last .She will challenge U in every thing ,she will even tell you that she knows more than u




AZControversial:


It's like this man is in love with trouble!

You manage to have a submissive wife, something divine, in this present dispensation where marriages barely stand the test of time. Yet, on your own, without pressure, you're seeking a partner who should readily challenge you?

Not saying you should have a puppet for a wife.
Simply saying some problems are better handled when they come to you not when you go searching for them!!!

Generally,I think on future.there may not be marriages again,women are getting exposed and those things our mothers endured in marriage can't be endured by modern days women.More power is given to women now and some women abuse the process.some men also abuse power and authority.In general, humans change ,a man may be good and humble when he married ,something's happen along the line , challenges come and storm ,his behaviour changes.so also women do change.Marriage is so complex, wen you marry wrong person ,half of your life is gone






brain54:

No perfect principle. True.

Nothing is perfect. But to an extent the older generation of marriages did better and lasted longer than the present generation of marriages.

Which means they were doing something at least better.

In the end consider that most of those marriages were either forced or arranged marriages and you would understand that the older generation really handled marriage better than this generation. Compare to situations presently were people date/court for 10years and break up after 1 year of marriage. Even when they met voluntarily.


It tells me something is wrong! The oldies handled better. We as Africans should learn to modernize our ways and make them better rather than throw them out the window and embrace alien cultures. Especially when they do us no good.

Our old African fathers had more successful marriages. Because a man is the head of the house and makes major decisions for the family.
Now we must copy everything from oyinbo! All these are oyibo ideas.

African men must remember their roots!

You should rather say that ,if it's playing for Africa that will make Ur son great ,let it be.the whole thing is about time and chance .there are lots of guy abroad nd so many half caste guys who never get the opportunity to play for foreign countries.so to get called up to play for any country,it's a privilege,even abroad getting some jobs is by connections ,they don't collect money or bribe because they can be easily detected.The system is designed to report frauds and illegal transaction.The African system is designed to encourage corruption.we need to work on our system

the man invested in her , sometimes there are problem when the wrong person invest in a person.Sometimes such people feel you owe them your life and will constantly remind you about what they did for you and sacrifice.These sometimes tie people down for life .I am not in the right position to judge this matter without full understanding of the situation or the other partners side but i will say its not so good when you are emotionally tired down to an abusive person.Men do change , so also women ,him changing could be as a result of the womans attitude and also seeing the woman as a threat or being too proud because of her achievement.Not everyone has the brain to go to school or the interest for school,so i feel he should not be pressured to go to school.I have seen cases where very ambitious women marry men with little or no ambition,this women are very smart and intelligent and always aspiring to be great, this women are tired down to men who are mediocre and little or no ambition.Such a relationship is quiet unfortunate and i such marriage are error to me ,it happens in both cases, men marrying women with no ambition, its much more worse when a woman of high ambition marry a man with no ambition, it affects the woman pyschologically and also the whole family sufferfinancially and in some areas.I am not so much in support of divorce but in such case and based on recent happening of marriage violence,a seperation may be necesary.I have tried to be balanced as a Guy and also knowing how women play victim in marriage,i would not totally condemn the man without hearing his own side.










udeh3:


I went through her narration, and I didn't see where the man lied. He was a civil servant. Many things are really wrong with Africans, and one is the lack of proper education. Do you know there's dignity in labour. Why pressuring him to go to school? In UK or US, a plumber makes more money than a medical doctor. Non is inferior to the other, only in Africa

This is somebody that didn't look back, but sacrificed for you to go to school without thinking it twice. He preferred her going to school than training himself. Can this lady do same if she was in this guy's shoe? You finished and dated a rich dude... If not love for money, why do that? You went back to him and married him this time. Money came, yes, through you! Did her altitude changed or not when the money came?

She attested that the guy never raised a hand on her even when they were suffering... Suffering should bring in anger and not the other way round. Now, he's beating you, so, what changed in you? What were the things you were saying to him now that made him hit you?

When I condemn hitting your partner, are you also free from bad behaviors?

its really dificult to take care of kids wihout the second partner abroad.People abroad work very hard to survive, even up t0 10 hours or more in Uk.The best bet is to leave the kids behind depending on their age or if u have relations abroad who canhelp lokk after them,no one will do that free.The kids can be collected if they are not well taken care of.Those ladies who bring their husband to Uk are very smart and know that they can t survive alone with young kids and paying monthly bills,not as if all of them love their husband so much ,Its to escape paying bills and also to be able to do small work to survive .The both party work and also share responsibility of kids.If the man really maltreat the lady, i may say tey should seperate but i am not an adviser in such matter.just my little contribution,which may not 100% right







ibechris:

Programming / Re: Why You Hardly See Nigerians Teaching About Coding On Social Media. by ekerintee: 5:09pm On Dec 16, 2022
Actually,there are some good Nigerian YouTubers who are programmers.There is this PhD research guy who is really good.He is from the Niger Delta and has knowledge in a broad range of programming language.To be a YouTuber in programming lang,U must be really good,some pple ask some tough questions which U shud be able to answer.most YouTubers re from India, programming is really tough and it requires continuous learning,new stuff coming out daily,it takes lots of time to write complex code.i spent almost all my entire day coding ,trying to solve problems,siting down to do YouTube takes time and confidence.To build a Chanel requires consistentency.Have come across some Nigerians on skillshare ,udemy who are also good.Most Indians start programing at young age and have built a name for themselves in this area.Nigerians abroad are coming up.










Devdevdev:
You hardly see Nigerians teaching coding or talking about programming related stuff on on social media, especially on Youtube. This is because this is actually a legit way to be a successful person and it involves a lot of hard work, determination and consistence.

Nigerians only like to propagate get rich schemes and fraudulent stuff like plagiarizing books to post on Amazon or some rubbish Ponzi scheme. The common thread that links all these is that they don't involve much work and all you have to do is just do the little, then sit and wait for money to start pouring into your account. I admit there are a tiny minority of people who make money from these, but it's usually for a short period of time until it crashes or they get banned from Amazon, or get arrested, but the majority of people don't get shit, rather they jump from one get rich scheme to the other until they realize they've wasted their time.

Programming will never be saturated with competent programmers especially in this country because majority of people don't have the discipline and delligence to actually become competent programmers.

For the past month I've not been on social media. I deleted my Twitter, Facebook Tiktok, Instagram and vowed to never check status on WhatsApp because that's a very huge distraction. I only use Nairaland and Reddit, particularly for programming related information. I deleted every movie from my laptop and haven't watched TV for weeks.

How many people can do this? How many people can sit at a desk staring at a computer screen for 12+ hours everyday?

Nigerians are very lazy and are addicted to quick gratification and this works in the favor of programmers who are serious, because it reduces the competitiveness of the job market.

Family / Re: Our Daughter Got Married Without Our knowledge by ekerintee: 11:24am On Dec 14, 2022
the best u can do is to pray for her and wish her well.Focus on the other children since she is the eldest daughter.Things like this happen when there is problem with parenting.I am not blaming u, i leave abroad and see alot of things children do at young age,some smoke even as early as 12.U need to closely monitor your kids,pray and teach them about lifee b4 they get to age of 18.once they cross 18, they are adults and nothing can be done again if you are abroad.Responsible white men and ladies dont marry in their early twenties, the early twenties they use to buold their career and education.Marriage come after they are sucessful careerwise,these people understand that its big work raising kids abroad and only have kids when they are ready financially and morally and all areas.So we as blacks dont understand this ,we spend most time working,little time for kids, we dont teach them about life,we are strict with kids without teaching them about the basics about life.If a child likes her family ,she wouldnt even want to leave home,so there is problem at home .Check what is wrong at home,so that the other kids dont do thesame ,show them love that no one can give them outside,dont be too strict ,be moderate when correcting ,sometime africans are to strict and shout at kids, these kids look forward to 18 when they can become free and run away from home.She came abroad at 15 and became spoilt in less than 7 years.When you notice this behaviour , u shud have cautioned her or send her back before she got to 18.Nothing can be done now,i must say some african parent raise good kids abroad too.All depends on the parent.I wish u well in bringing up the other kids,i am not blaming u,a child who wants to be bad will be bad no matter how you train him or her.Leave her,she will learn from life and come back .Marriage is not for immature kids,it involves responsibility.Infact, most white folks dont marry again ,cohabit and do baby mama things.When u have kids, ur career slows down, your attention is divided,your income is divided .Responsible people dont rush into marriage without thinking.










Wellspringbunny:
Our eldest daughter 22 years old disowned us because we didn't like the man she was dating.

The guy is not Nigerian which is not a problem but he has a bad reputation. He is a Gold digger and gigolo. He has 7 children by 6 women.

People from his country in our community have warned us and told us to tell our daughter to run for her life. We have talked to her to no avail. She left the house and disowned us. She got married yesterday Saturday without our knowledge.

We didn't know that she was getting married. It was my husband that saw the wedding footage on tiktok. He showed me the footage. We are heartbroken. We have lost sleep and appetites, here is nothing we can do to stop her. We don't have her contact nor her address.

She has even stopped talking to her immediate younger sister because she advised her to quit the relationship. She went to her sister's old house she heard them arguing about money. He used her credit card without her consent so my youngest daughter warned and told her to send him packing. She agreed only for her to block her till date, she has changed house. We hope that she will not end up like his other baby mamas.

I need advice from other parents in the house what advice would you give my husband and I? Please note we are not in Nigeria we lives abroad.

Life is more complex than we think,being bornagain is just the beginning of the battle,there are so many battles to fight,one is generational courses ,they come in different form,some are hidden and U don't even notice it,unless God reveals it to u,when U notice it,U have to tackle it by prayers and all means,some come in form of a pattern,people die at particular age ,some come in form of failures.when U notice it,U need God to help U defeat it.its real,those who brought xtainity to Africa never understand the African culture and how deep into evil some generations were.u can decide to believe it or not.its the truth that once born again ,U are free but not free from attacks from the enemies who have some claims to your generations.

The competition in I.T is getting much,people all over the world see it as short cut to get jobs or money, small companies exploit beginners and pay well too low, some companies prefer computer science graduate to someone who is self taught or bootcamp,not everyone has the brain for I.T .the field is really broad.The younger you are the easier to get into it.





Cutehector:
i'll still say this, that you learn IT skill dont mean you will blow! For fücks sake we have IT guys who are still looking for jobs!!!! Even if they see 150k own to start learning from to get experience.


It is all about grace. There can be a thousand IT applicants for a 30,000 dollars salary job, at the end of the day, it is only one person who will get the job, the rest will still go back to job hunting.


Jeez!
