Bossgem:
I saw the red in the toilet bowl, distinct in the froth of urine. I pull up my underwear and flush. I have no more sanitary pads at home. I didn't think I would need them this month. It is the fourth of July. I'm not pregnant and I don't know what to feel.

I ask my husband if he would like noodles for breakfast. He says yes, with some plantains and egg. He’ll be at work today and there wouldn't be power supply at home. The power company load-sheds my neighbourhood. We get two days of supply and one day of outage, in that order. I pack the meal in his flask and hand it to him in a Shoprite bag. He walks out the door after we hug and I lock the door. There is a stickiness between my thighs as I walk back to our bedroom. I pick up my phone and check the Ovia app. The internet is poor and the app loads slowly. A notification comes in. You are on your period. I'm mildly surprised Ovia projected my period date correctly. I highlight the ‘B’ on the app calendar, confirming that really my period has started. I feel the seeping, a jelly like blob of blood. I should quickly buy a pack of Always.

****The above is an excerpt from my journal. So hopefully, you can judge my command of English.
My mail writehappywife@gmail.com

This is interesting but there are too many fullstops in the excerpt. I will contact you tomorrow.

Update is provided above. I also encourage fellow IMers to key in..

I am an IM person.. been doing it for years and in the course of my sojourn I have had several hundreds of articles written for me by writers from the USA, Europe and parts of Asia particularly India for various website projects. It's very easy to come in contact with these writers on plaforms like Fiverr and Upwork.

I was thinking the other day.. going by the thousands of d0llars paid to foreigners to write common articles by some Nigerian IMers, why don't we give such jobs to fellow country men who may be interested? In a country where lack of money is rife I think we should begin to channel such outflows to persons within who are willing to work. At least the monies will stay within. I know it's not much but it's something. Many Indians are wiling to accept even a dollar per article (sometimes with bad grammer) just to get such jobs. Let's take advantage of these too.

By the way if you are interested in writing articles you can reply here. Some persons may hire you after a trial. On my part I will also hire a few persons to write for me too. I'll conveniently pay between N500 to N1000 per 400 to 500 words article. If you can write 10 in a day that will not be bad. It's not too much but it's still something. Jobs like this may not come all the time but then that's why it's called freelance.. a little project here and there.

Thanks.

UPDATE:
I see people are interested in writing for me.. but there has to be a selection process. Your grammar will have to speak for you.
To get hired to write for me, do a 100 word summary of any topic of your choice and paste it here. I need to rate your use of English. If I'm okay with your writing I will contact you via email. Please do not copy write ups from the internet, I will know and that will mean automatic disqualification. If you qualify I will contact you by email. Thanks.

AbikeDabiri:
Una see d difference between Yoruba and Igbo now

They have come

Pea sized brain subhumans and their likers likening the action of a single demented fellow to a whole tribe of millions of people. Are your brains only for internal decoration? The thought process of tribalistic morons should be a topic of academic and scientific research asap

BLUEJAYY:
I never saw this. Little wonder why a certain moniker on this forum was frustrating my life accusing me of being the person you mentioned. I guess she first read it here. Now I see.

Lol.. Maybe. You sounded a lot like him on that day tho

Gforce2019:
Okay thank you. If you have really forgotten me, send me recharge card

First, learn how to be courteous to people you don't even know, then try to see a shrink for help. Maybe then good fortune will come to you and you won't have to ask strangers for airtime.

Gforce2019:
You have forgotten that there are large number mentally-imbalanced people in your linage. And you part of them. Your own sickness is practically and clinically incurable. So, Go and die.

It's not your fault at all. I blame the internet for all these. You are forgiven.

Gforce2019:
Foolishness is oozing out of your brain. I wrote in local English , you dey proof-read....

Kontinue!

Ah see insult! I'm so done with you.. many of you sick people are irredeemable anyway. It's your life afterall so good luck.

maximus4455:
Igbo girls rarely cheat, yoruba women can open their legs for anything. I be Niger delta anyway

Rubbish talk.. Tribalists bore me with their stupidity.

Gforce2019:
I know say your brain megabytes no pass 2kilobyte..
Your foolishness is beyond remedy ...

So, you reason as your people reason...
Go and have a better Life

Oga for telling him he reasons "as his people" I hereby place your brain on the same pedestal as his. There's no difference between you two.

Tribalists disgust me.

NgeneUkwenu:
Nnamdi Kanu-The amateur porn Star, Should learn a lesson here, instead of hiding like a crude criminal.

Hahahaha.. This guy eats, breathes, sleeps, lives and survive on Kanu and his ipob. Very funny I have to say but you should get a life no matter how hard for you

ZinoFasisi:
Oga d ratio is 99:1

Lol.. I was being considerate

Not a laughing matter though. It's very unfortunate.

..and it's looking like the current generation is about to fail themselves and the next generation too. I have never seen a set of 'yoots' so self-destructive, ignorant and foolish like ones we currently have.

We still have a few sound minds though, but the ratio of the idiotic ones to the sound ones is like 4:1

Which kind English be this.. Mods should adjust post header.

MNDY:
Not everybody but as humans, calculating the frequency and cases go a very long way to make one briefly hold on
to what one beleives before determining an exception or not. And just so you know, 7 out of the 10 Ibos I know fit into the description.

There's something called "self fulfilling prophesies" in sociology. The mind will always read what it wants to see. Purge yourself first of COMPOUND BIAS and you will realize that a person's behaviour has nothing to do with their tribe or the language they speak. It is your call to make though, not my business. You can only take a horse to the stream, you cannot force it to drink water.

In case you are wondering, "Self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation, evoking a new behavior which makes the originally false conception come true" - Robert K. Merton. Ponder on this if you can.

MNDY:
He is saying the truth. I have met a number of Ibos who perfectly fit into his description...behaving uncivilized and ever ready to cause trouble, fight and/or kill, especially if it involves money.

Good, you said a number of Igbos definitely not everybody. Stereotyping people on the basis of tribe alone is DUMB! VERY DUMB! You tribalists are just irredeemable and unintelligent. The quality of our education in the country is also not even helping.

IntrovertedK:
yes there are bad people everywher buh doesn't change the fact that igbos believe in their fists and muscles rather than handling situation with brain like a typical yoruba man which gave the normal believe of yorubas being coward.

Oga you are still generalizing. How many Igbo people do you know closely to reach this conclusion?

I also sense inferiority complex in your post. You are trying hard to benchmark your tribe against that of others to make you feel better. This is dumb. I also know not all Igbos see Yorubas as cowards so this generalization thing will always make you appear like an illiterate.

IntrovertedK:
I knew it will be igbo. This isn't about tribal bashing or somthing buh they need to take things easy. Violence don't solve violence, evil doesn't curb evil. Now look at them they've killed him when they could have just handed him to the police which i know that's what many of my yoruba brothers would have done which would be termed cowardice act which is better than their position now.

Come and see the way they were fighting themselves inside the market days ago, everyone try to separate them, for where. Ghanaians present were even shocked that they both speak same language and yet injured themselves that much. Everything is not a show of muscle, most of the times you use your brain.

And i guess there is what really differentiate us, they call us cowards for it buh we know it's a gentleman act.

Foolish talk..

Don't tribalise everything.. it's a dumb thing to do. There are good and bad people everywhere. You need education.

[quote author= post=77621069]Refreshing to see this coming from our POLICE FORCE!

SLOW and steady we will get to a New Nigeria.[/quote]Chai..

The video nor reveal much of the return action from the Soldiers.

What really is wrong with Nigerian Police? The idea of slapping and beating at every opportunity is not cool at all honestly.. If the police high command are not identifying and removing the bad eggs then they've lost it. Zero respect from people, too bad for them and for us too.

Preshy561:
Brother weh mumu.

Lol.. the guy over mumu

Your previous thread on Lagos does not include Surulere.

id911:
He always looks like a house boy in every event he attends

Guy behave

maryjames9:
Scap this people once we for all.

Who will do the scrapping? Hahaha..

Nigeria on autopilot. Chaos everywhere

Princeofnigeria:
Rubbish.



Assembled in Nigeria not made in Nigeria.

Ipob miscreants and lies, no wonder thier iPob terrorist Leader now IndecentStar.



I hate those people with passion, my ******** got married to a girl from that tribe I made sure the marriage didn't work out, I Chase her out of the home

LMAO. Your moniker sounds more like Princeofdarkness. See a Shrink asap!

SmartyPants:
Most of who??

Speak for yourself. The historical rivalry between Man Utd and Liverpool is huge.

I don't care about any historical rivalry.. same as most guys who are close to me. Fans hating just because of historical rivalry may be sick in the head as far as I'm concerned.. going all extreme for stuff that doesn't even bring money. Definitely not worth the pain and stress. Bigger things to worry about.

Everytime Liverpool scores, Manchester United fans are like... Lawd why!!!!

This is not true.. most of us are routing for Liverpool as a matter of fact. Aside United, I am a big fan of Liverpool FC.

Guys just a small update.. I have a prepaid meter now, installed sometime in late February I think. The struggle paid off eventually but the price for winning the battle was pretty high.. Let's not stop talking about injustice, together we will achieve a lot more.

nyben231101:
Bro no be small thing, eedc has finished me.

I spend over 16k a month. Just 3 ACs' in my flat.

Bro I'll be so glad to pay that for 3 ACs.. before I got a prepaid meter I was dolling out an average of 40k to PHCN every month on estimated bills.. there were flats in my street paying over 60k monthly on estimated bills.

Someone subhuman has just joined this argument and she's tribalism and stupidity personified. Her moniker starts with an "M"

Guys take note, the hatred in her is unbelievably monumental. Nairaland unfortunately host a couple of very sick people

Guys this is fake na.. The soldier is not really beating him. Check it well..
