PropertiesRe: 5 Signs You Need To Move Out by EndRape2(f): 3:48pm On May 28, 2021
6. Move out when you have disgrace your family as a stupid man, date girls on the street, beat your wife, Everytime openly, fooling your self with u derage girls, fetish house where people die always .


















quote author=mykwaba post=102062377]Moving out from one apartment to another is more than an overnight decision. When you just settled into an apartment, it can be hard to even imagine that you'll want to move somewhere else one day but whether you’ve lived in your apartment for 12 months or 12 years, it’s likely that one morning you’ll wake up and decide it’s time to move out.

We all have many reasons for moving, ranging from financial to social. Also, although sometimes there's a clear, urgent need to move, it's important to recognize that the desire to move is often a feeling that grows stronger over time.

Now if you're on the fence about moving out, here are tip off factors to consider in taking your decision.

1. Rent Hike
With the rate in which landlords, especially in Lagos tends to increase their rents over time, you might end up paying 500k for an apartment you moved into for 300k two years ago. When rent increases don’t match cost-of-living salary increases, it’s a strong indicator it’s time to find a better apartment and take a lot of financial stress off your shoulders.

2. You've Outgrown your place
If you had been living in a single room, you might prefer a two bedroom apartment probably because you have accumulated more things and want more space to store, display or use them all. Also, other life related moves such as marriage can prompt this feeling, you might feel you need a bigger apartment to accommodate you and your partner or family.

3. Bad Neighbours
Neighbours can change over time and you might find the new ones uncomfortable. If you start feeling like an outsider and find those living around you cold and distant, it’s probably time to seek out a community that feels more like family.

4. Bad commute
As life keeps moving from one phase to another, people finish schools and start a new job or switch jobs over time. Whenever this happens, there's a big chance your new traveling route might become expensive, tiring and uncomfortable. If your job is secure and enjoyable, moving closer to work might be a great idea.

5. You can now afford a more luxurious apartment
If you just acquired wealth (just arrived) or your salary has significantly increased since the time of the lease of your current apartment, you might decide its time to upgrade and apply more of your money toward living expenses. This often prompts relocation.

All been said, even if you're able to spend more on rent than the last time around, it's still important to identify and separate wants from needs to help ensure your next apartment is the right one for you.[/quote]

You are a curse thing, you want to sleep with your mother inlaw, reason why some of you men, never succeed in life.



Damaged soul you need help and deliverance.



















quote author=NwaAmaikpe post=101960793] shocked




I'd never understand how some men are unable to manage their mother-in-laws'.

It's only natural that you may have an overly domineering mother-in-law that will not only interfere in your marriage but also incite her daughter; your wife.

The frustation of not having a young male's lotion water their rusty canal is enough to turn an average mother-in-law into a witch.

I have and will always advice men with such cases to do everything in their power to bed such a mother-in-law, and to bed her real well.
That is the only secret to converting an interfering mother-in-law into an ally.

It works and will always work.[/quote]

It is not bad telling him, since he does not know what to do, the truth is immediately he walked into the shop, and discovered there are many customers, he ought to assist the wife, even if he has a job. Assisting your wife in domestic chores does not make you less of a man, it should be that way,both of you are partners and both of you should learn to assist each other when one is stressful. Or need help.

Nigeria men especially Igbo men are disgusting I swear, who told them a man should not do domestic chores .

If you are single the best is to stay without sex or get married.
If you can not stay without sex, get a good girl, two of you can go for deliverance, then show her love and care, and two of you should be faithful to yourself.

In a video posted on social media, the veteran actor thanked everyone who had lent their voices to the case and then proceeded to air his opinion.

Elesho used the opportunity to beg Princes to temper justice with mercy as the case was already getting out of hand considering Baba Ijesha's state of health.

He continued by saying that she should remember the great friendship she had with Baba Ijesha.

The president said that he had to intervene after someone pointed out to him that Baba Ijesha is an actor it is a good reason why he should not be left in his trouble all by himself.

He appealed to the actors behind Princess to think very well about their involvement in the case because no one knows tomorrow.

Elesho also begged the Lagos state commissioner of police to do a thorough investigation and the governor of the state to have mercy as well.

He further made a passionate appeal to everyone concerned in the case to have mercy on Ijesha and Nollywood as a whole.

Good men exist, thank God you are single.

1. Marry from your tribe, except his mother is not a tribal person, before you can consider him .

2. Check his family history, is he from a God fearing home, where the mother fear God, and brought all her children
up in the fear of God,

3. Check his past relationships, is he a guy that can keep a woman, how many relationship has he had in the past, if many avoid him.

4. Test him, you can pretend to be sick, go to hospital and see if he will come.
check if he is the caring type, or the type that will not care about you.

5. Run if he is a mummy boys, my mummy say, my mummy say, My mummy say , please run run run run


6. Check if he is a the type of men that sees women as partners and not slave. Check how he talk if he loves and respect women.

You do not need to marry because others are marrying or you need children, stay with your mum and old with her,

As hard as it is, Nairaland men and Boys are street boys that will destroy marriage anytime anyday, it is not the best place to seek marriage advice, bro what most of them will tell you, they do otherwise, they are just here trying to form hard guys.


My advice go sees advice from an elderly God fearing man you respect so much, note the word God fearing God.

On your case the two of you are at fault here . Your mum told you something, you do not need to tell your girl that your mum said. Let me tell you the gospel truth here , marriage preparation is for women, she has money or not, women always want to be in charge of their marriage, it is a one life thing, and the only opportunity they have to organise things.


You case is simple, tell her this is all you want to spend for the wedding, let the two of you sit and plan, on the money, you can give your family their own money for cooking ,give your mum money to cover her own part

Let everybody be happy.



Yes there are one million women out there , yes I agree, but all comes with their problems, even bigger onces.

Women leave their parents house because they want a home of their own but most men so.not get this ,most men will still try to bring them under the control of their mother and siblings


And this has been destroying marriages since .


Seek advice outside from professionals and experience aged people.




uote author=Annoms post=101811407]I'll try to make this short.

Yesterday I was having a conversation with my fiancée about my mum's suggestion about how to go about our wedding which is scheduled to take place Jan next year. My mum suggested that we do both trad and white wedding on the same day to cut cost. She opined that we do the white wedding in the morning and hold the traditional marriage as a reception in the afternoon. I pretty much see reasons from her perspective considering the harsh economic condition in Nigeria.

I was relating this to my fiancée yesterday in a phone call, when she flared up and said I should have consulted her to seek her opinion on this marriage arrangement before going to my family to seek theirs because I said my mum's advise seems okay.

What I deduce from her plight was that she wants the trad marriage at the village (south-east) while the white at the town where we base (South-West). That was what I initially wanted but due to high inflation in the land, I'm actually tilting towards my mum advise because I can't go bankruptcy just because I want to satisfy her. Why not use a stone to kill two birds?

She wants a cream-de-la-cream kind of wedding but she's not ready to assist financially to make that happen. (she's an awaiting corper)

I told her that the cost of transportation and lodging people from the village (hers and mine) to the city for our white marriage alone is gulping about 500/600k. That's transportation & lodging alone ooo.. I'll now spend if not x2 of what I spent on trad for white.. Why not just do everything in the village and move on with our lives? We can actually have it in the village and it will still be all nice and glamourous.

She said she wants to have a say in how her marriage will look like. Her imput is welcomed. But if she still insist on having the white wedding and not putting finances into consideration. I'm thinking that she want the white wedding on the city because of her friends who will attend which is not enough reason to go bankruptcy for.

It was a heated argument yesterday. We both went to bed angrily and not in talking terms till now

Pls advice accordingly. Thanks[/quote]

Every girl wants to have full control of her wedding , on her wedding day, even if he wants the traditional and white wedding together he does not need to tell the fiences that is mummy said so, he should have inform the fienace, that two of them should do it like this. Not saying mummy said

Let me be blunt with you, if this story is real you are a foolish and weak man.

It is Just three months your wife died, you are talking about another woman, you should know that the woman is a demon just trying to come into your family to destroy things, how are we sure she is not the one that killed your wife spiritually, how are we sure the party is not just to set you up, now you are weak to send the Jezebel away, please tell that woman to go, you have a maid in the house, to care for the kids, so what do you want again? chase that woman away, her husband is not abroad anything, that is always their lies, there are single mothers everywhere looking for good family to destroy , some will even kill the wife at home just to pack in
Let that woman get out.

See you need to be careful, lot of Jezebel will want to come into your life, but they will use the kids, trying to show love, some will take them out, buy gifts and the kids will be blinder and love them, they will even tell you to marry the woman showing them love it is normal they are kids, you are the adult that must see above those emotional blackmail from Jezebel ladies and guild the kids accordingly, letting them know that with time and with prayers you will give them another mum . If you trully live those kids,you will pray and fast before choosing another mother for them.
Or wait till they are adult and out of the house before picking another wife.
