FamilyRe: The Travails Of Marrying Late by Emmydek(m): 11:10am On Dec 23, 2015
a2space:
I am a 37 year old bachelor and I must confess that never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that someday I would be desperate to get married. When I was in my twenties, I used to hear of desperation amongst ladies to get married but I never clearly understood the feeling. I felt it was a "lady thing" until I got to the age of 34yrs. One day I was in my bedroom suddenly I felt the rush of emotions come upon me so strongly that all of a sudden started making me feel desperate for marriage. By the following year the desperate feeling became like torture and the loneliness was so depressing. I could no longer stand it when I attended weddings to see other young couples getting married. I could no longer stand it when I hear people discussing marriage around me.

I became like an object of fun in the office when they would call me "the oldest bachelor". I'm telling you, the feeling is not funny at all. Even when people innocently ask "Hey, why are you not yet married?" or "what are u waiting for?" It's a question that I just can't take emotionally. Though I'm doing my best to tie the knot soon but I must confess that it is a feeling that I don't even wish my enemies to have.

If me as a guy could be feeling like this, I can just imagine what single ladies of marriageable age are passing through emotionally.
For those of you reading my post, it is my prayer that you all get married at the right time and age so that you don't have to pass through the same emotional trauma of loneliness and desperation to get married.
There is no travail in marrying late. But there is travail in having children late. That's my personal believe

FamilyRe: Why Do People Abandon Their Single Friends After Marriage? by Emmydek(m): 11:05am On Dec 23, 2015
SarahGee:
I wish I knew a better way to rephrase this question. You have seen many married people slowly cut ties with their single friends. Is it just natural that they instantly cease to have things in common or is it a society expectation? It is common among ladies. Some friends even cut ties with their friends once they have a boyfriend! Common b o y f r i e n d !!!

Some own’t even invite their single friends to their weddings or when they do, the single ones are made to wear a different type of asoebi as though they are wild animals that the wedding guests should be cautious of


I guess single people are really wild animals.


I wouldn’t be asking if I haven’t been a victim. A friend of mine got engaged 7 months ago and I was busy turning up and down for her. Her wedding is this coming Saturday and I noticed last night that she’s no longer on my BBM. I feel I don’t deserve it cos I respect people’s space a lot. No matter how close we were before you got hitched, I would respect your privacy once you start a family. I have never ever gone to the house of a married friend on my own volition and I am also quick to turn down invites once I sense that you are inviting me because you feel obligated to. Phone calls or chats once in a blue moon will do for me but there are still friends that will avoid any form of communication with you but run for advice from you as a single person that knows nothing when things get a bit rocky in their marriages. Some even go as far as looking for married friends pen pals on blogs and social networks like they didn’t make their bed.

Since this is now the in-thing, my new motto is ,”Cut the engaged ones off before they cut you!”

RomanceNew Muslim Bride Fails Brutal “virginity Test". Check Out Her Punishment by Emmydek(op): 3:42pm On Dec 11, 2015
Radio Free Europe reported that in Afghanistan, certain sections of the country have laws in place stating that, if a Muslim bride fails a “virginity test,” she can be punished in an absolutely inhuman way.
The so-called “test” is unpleasant in and of itself. On the night of the marriage, the husband can check the sheets of the bed for blood after intercourse to determine if his new wife was still a virgin.
If there is blood, which would indicate that the hymen was broken and the woman was a virgin, then the woman is safe, relatively speaking. If there is no blood, then the woman can be subject to any number of barbaric punishments.

The people performing these tests apparently don’t realize that there are a myriad of reasons why a woman’s hymen might not be intact on her wedding night, or why she might not bleed. But there’s little room for reason under Shariah law.
“In some cases, a bride’s ears and nose are cut off,” one Afghan woman told Radio Free Europe. “They are forced into dirty clothes and taken back to her parent’s home. Their heads are shaved. The bride’s family is told that she is not a virgin. Other times, a bride is simply killed and her body is returned to her parents.”
“In order to escape dishonor, that family will offer another of their daughters for marriage,” the woman stated. “In some regions, women are simply killed. In some cases, even after years of marriage, a husband will abuse his wife.”

What do you think of this so-called “virginity test”?

Rose2014:
I've said it before and I'll say it again, This Passingshot guy is the type of adviser any government in power should have, whether GEJ or PMB
The keyword is truth(which our leaders are allergic to btw grin) . As a leader, What's the point in surrounding yourself with sycophants n zombies that will keep singing ur praise even when u're obviously misfiring. grin
Yet once u fail and you're voted out, they'll be the first to decamp to the other party?

On a second note, I don't see Buhari as someone that listens to advice(Too bad, though I may be wrong). If that is the case, you might as well be talking to a wall grin
Hope he listens sha and address this issue ASAP. Instead of addressing the problem, all we're seeing is his Kim Kardashian pictures cheesy touring round the world when his subjects are keeping vigil at gas stations. Smh

Anyway those that trekked for him after the election. With this scarcity now, Their dream of trekking has come true.lmao

Nice job sir. Respect
There are many people who were like passingshot before entering politics but once they enter the goons will use money to block their mouths

PoliticsSEE What Little Boy Did To Governor Fayose In A Market Last Weekend by Emmydek(op): 4:12pm On Nov 09, 2015
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state who is sure a force to reckon with in the state he governs is in the news again.
Over the weekend, the governor was Oja Oba Market in Ado Ekiti before the market old structures were demolished in readiness for the construction of a new ultra modern market.

However, when he got to the market, a little boy did the unusual. He shouted ‘Osokoooooo’ , a common slang used in hailing the controversial governor. This got the attention of everyone, even the media team of the governor could not let the precious moment go as they got it on camera.
The governor also took to his verified twitter page to share the unusual happening by tweeting: ‘Even the kids know me… Osokoooooo”. Osoko means a strong and unusual person. See the tweet and photo below:
