I bet you it is lamentation galore all the way.

Thanks, also add the link to your opening post too

OP, went to the link you posted. Do you expect everyone to read through 372 pages just to look for complaints? You either post snippets or the link should be from where the trouble started

Lo, we art in the days of 'innocent' chats.

It's Iara not Lara

Everyone has got its share of blame. The parents, teachers, society, religion, even myself.

Parents have the first blame; you churn out kids without providing a solid base for them to grow. You lavish them with irrelevant gadgets and fashion accessories and don't teach them the basics of how money is made OR you have no money to provide your child what those rich kids have but you do not teach them prudence or alternatives that can be foregone.

Teachers: Most teachers do not love teaching, they need the income and so cannot devise new ways by which the minds of the students can be stimulated. Even when the minds are stimulated perhaps through external sources; it seen as rocking the boat. "So, buy my textbook, cram everything in it and give me exactly what I wrote" "You cannot know more than your lecturer". Little wonder why after cramming their 'difficult' courses; students proceed to boast on how theirs is the best course especially if it involves big textbooks forgetting that all sectors complement each other. Our strict syllabus doesn't help too.

Society sneers at positive struggles and want to see you already wealthy and influential. "Why don't you pick a civil service job? There's no stress" "You drive a Jeep? You are a big boy oh" "Why are you wasting your time there - even if it matches your career aspirations - go here instead. Time waits for no one". Society looks at the certificates you have amassed.
Dignified labour is 'suffer-head' and a slow start is poverty; that's why people get ashamed to say they don't have cars yet or haven't traveled out or that they simply do not have the money for something because the 'loling' society would be aghast. And so they feel, it is a waste of time to not be appreciated for being a nerd or bookworm but it'd be more appreciated if you know how many ear-rings rihanna wore to dinner.
Now, I don't believe everyone is going to excel at school but if you love diamonds; you'd better know indepth about diamonds; the kinds of diamonds etc just be knowledgable about something and then get a general even light interest about other things as well.
News are swallowed without qestioning. Headline - 730 million dollars found in Dieziani's house
'Chei! This frog eye woman don chop our money finish'
'That's the money from NNPC'
'Diaris God oh, all this money you people are stealing'
No one would ask how it was verified that the amount was actually as announced. Anyone that dares to ask would be tagged and of course insulted (that's another way they avoid any discourse)
I am holding no brief for anyone
South Africans loots malls after Xenophobic attacks
'Send them packing from Nigeria'
'Shut down all their outfits here'
'Close our embassy over there'

Religion: Say to your neighbour 'it is well' 'God's time is the best'. When you aren't paid at work 'pray to God or fast'; when you falsify documents 'God will make a way' and so when people get challenged about a topic/subject, they hide under God's cloak; when you challenge a status quo, they warn you about God's wrath; those that deign to continually push against these boundaries are tagged rebels.

Myself/Yourself: There are threads I don't dare comment in so I don't get angry; it's either full of 'loling' 'diaris God' 'go and die' or 'yeebos' 'yolobas' 'awusa' and yet I do not enter to contribute my bit or even attempt at correcting, some of them continually need to be corrected so they'd change their stream of thought. You'd get insulted but you'd have done your bit.

The concerned youth themselves: You'd have to desire a change before that change can be gotten. Everyone has a role to play
Now, I would love to also blame the entertainment industry too especially musical videos and home videos but ours pale in comparison to the west and east and yet those have made giant strides in relevant sectors.

Stop spending so much. Drop a particular amount for food and that's it. If you both used to drop 5k for food, drop 4,500 and use the remaining 500 naira to buy garri for times when they will be no food.
If you don't want her around anymore, tell her to leave and look for someone else.
Do not spend and grumble, I'd rather you'd not spend at all than wish someone would appreciate you for every extra N1, that attitude irks me because when you go an extra mile for someone (selflessness), do not taint it by seeking forr gratitude.

Your writing reminds me of the way we as children spoke then 'and she come and say I should go and ...'

The stiff mistress caught in a compromising position with the 'slave' she has the hots for - that's what the picture portrays (no offense intended)

Love is never enough for a man to stick to one woman, it is either self disciplin, contentment or religious discipline

It should be 'hilarious pictures from two wedding ceremonies' because these are two different pictures. The first pic though

You no talk bad, I dey interested ni. Shey food too sure

Okay but what does best food and drink have to do with how many houses he has or his love for Nigeria?

Hello Uyo CMs, I am not a CM just an Uyo resident. I have too many plates in my kitchen and I am looking to give out some. Any interested person can PM me. Thanks

It

It was on thursday 28th May and the fuel crisis was gradually reducing by them, there was fuel but a bit expensive, though l had a full tank that l bought at 105 per litre.

You know there was a near total blackout plus fuel scarcity just this week and I thought that was the case since the hospitals claimed not to have majorly fuel and light but by thursday everything had normalized a bit. I agree with you that it was a systematic failure

This is so sad. Did this incident occur during the fuel crises? May your baby's soul rest in peace and may another bundle of joy come to lighten up your home again. Please accept my condolences

Fun fact: Women in Iran before the Islamic revolution dressed like regular women folk, with hair open and casual wears

That's ibaba (Akwa ibom), nowadays easy achi has replaced the good old ibaba. You had to break the pod open, boil the flesh inside, pound adding a little oil before using it for mkpafere.

cococandy:
First of all,she needs counseling. As a matter of urgency. Pls help her get it if possible.
Losing a child especially when she's wanted it for so long can be very traumatizing. I don't need to experience that to know it. I can almost feel her pain. Pls seek professional help on her behalf.

*********
On a general note, this is why it is not good to expect so much from life. It helps when one has at the bottom of their consciousness that anything can happen to anyone. All those notions "I was a Virgin, why am I suffering this while the randy girl is having it easy": is just us thinking we deserve to be rewarded for something we think we've done right and then when it doesn't come, we begin to feel something somewhere is punishing us.

Life can be random like that. It does not mean she's created to feel pain. Pls tell her to remove that line from her mind.

Gbam for the second part of your post.

OP: Let her go for a one week holiday either with a family member or friend. There aregood spots in Nigeria she could visit and recuperate. During, the holiday, the hubby when calling or texting should not dwell on their sorrows or negativity but focus on their strengths spiced with heavy flirting. If possible, the one week can be carefully planned by the hubby to be the week before the 'heat' period .
After that, the hubby must ask her for what she plans to do about the matter, fertility clinics, faith clinics etc...that would at least take her mind off her predicament as she will be focused on a solution

During my IT, I became friends with an elderly female staff. She was always so nice. One day, we talked deeply, this was around 2006. She married her hubby in 2002 as a virgin after they had courted 4 years. When I mean virgin, I don't mean all these pako virgin, that only 'non penetratio.n' except every other thing is their achievement.
The church was strict on courtship and so they had a chaperon on every visit; the most they ever went was a peck on the cheek in the presence of the chaperon.
BUT during discussions, she asked the fiance then, what would happen if they didn't have children (That's one advise I took from her, to ask that pertinent question); the husband replied with; "To some God gives children but no wealth, to some wealth but no children, to some both. Whatever happens, I married you for you"

I kept in touch, all through the years nothing, prayed about her even had dreams. Of course, I do not know if she had miscarriages along the way or if nothing. Late 2013, she delivered a girl.

The hills are alive
With the sound of music
With songs they have heard
For a thousand years
The hills fill my heart
With the sound of music
My heart wants to sing
Every song it hears

All the songs in sound of music, I know by heart.

kandiikane:
rephrasing what I wrote earlier. What you guys are doing is telling an innocent child that she is not meant to wear something because it will cause a man to loose his senses and abuse her. This is shifting blame from the adult to an innocent child.

I agree with this statement made by enoquin's aunt. The only person with the problem is enoquin who had already sexualised something that was not meant to be in her head and then implied that men that see the child will find her sexually appealing.

The aunty spoke perfectly. sexualising a child is not by what she wears but what she hears. If the aunt had told her to go change because what she wore will turn men on, what exactly has she done? 1. What she has done is sexualise the child. 2. Told the child that it will be her fault if she gets abused because she must have dressed a certain way which turned the guy on. 3. Men have no control 4. All men are potential pedos and ra.pists



Like I said earlier, it's all in the messed up minds of grown ups, what the child is wearing has nothing to do with it.
If what you guys think is true, then I truly feel sorry for all the poor kids running around naked playing or the teenagers tying just wrapper to go fetch water somewhere in the world, right now. It must have been hell for the kids and our women back in the day.

Lmao. Na me you write all that tori for?

The only person with the problem is enoquin who had already sexualised something that was not meant to be in her head and then implied that men that see the child will find her sexually appealing.

Men here implies all men, nowhere did I say this. "Any young man could get bad ideas" this was my statement, not 'men'

1. She isn't my aunt, na communal cooking join us together
2. So, telling a girl to go and change despoils the child? What's wrong with 'sweetie, are you sleeping now or are you just waking, why are you still in your nightwear?' That's wisdom
So, when boys dress inappropriately and they are corrected, are they being sexualized?
Please, everyone has their opinion on a matter and I respect that BUT your nos 1-4 points are off tangent because we aren't discussing 'all men'.
It's okay if your opinion is, there's nothing like indecently dressed kids.
It is also okay, if my opinion is kids should dress decently.
We all cannot agree on the same thing

That's a wrong picture for Omotola na, that's from Knorr event with her daughter, totally different from what I can see her wearing at the 'high' table.
Apart from the hair, I think Yemi looks good. Waje is okay

Your wife of course

I found number 2 quite useful. But this your shortcodes no be here oh. If you can type 'yhu', why not just replace 'h' with an 'o'? And don't lump all the info together, it should be nicely spaced.

Fun fact:In the last 3500 years, there has only been 230 years of peace in the civilized world
