Trouble in 'paradise?'

Sorry TY, not all are unique as you claim. I love the first and the second, but your third pic in the first set is unreal. People don't check themselves through keke mirrors...they use cars. You should have used a car on the street, showing his reflection on the car.

Instead of sitting in a parked keke, he should have sat in a filled keke, clinging for balance on the seat beside the driver...now that is Lagos or for that matter Nigeria!

And 'breadi agege' chicks don't wear flowing gowns, they wear tight short gowns or skirts, that show the outline of their panties. How else would everyone want to marry them.

The rest are okay.

I am of the opinion that if the words are too heavy, you should allow someone else help say them for you. Your friend is married, and if she is scared to talk to her sister, then let the husband handle it. He should simply call his wife when he is sure of her sister's presence ask her certain questions, and ask to speak with the sister. Simple!

Abeg drop the judgmental tone, if I wrote 'and then I prayed', whose ego would I have massaged? I don't have to write if I prayed or not, and swerve with that 'if you are a christian' talk. The thread is on something exceptional medically, I shared something I heard about medically, which has gone on to increase my knowledge.

Jobabori:
If you are a christian, you should have stand in the gap for the child with intercesory prayer rather than listening to medical terms. God could have used you as an instrument of deliverance sister.

To some conception, pregnancy and delivery is a piece of cake, to others it isn't and to the in-betweeners, theirs isn't even a cake.

I was at children hospital this week helping a church sister out, when we went in to see the doctor, he was attending to a woman with a baby. He told her that her baby wasn't conscious yet because s(he) didn't cry when s(he) was born. Can't what he termed the condition, just know asphyxia was part of the term. The baby cannot be fed till 'it' cries.

Some things are better settled off line. It is so petty that instead of calling your 'sisters' to congratulate them, then diplomatically tell them you felt excluded; you took to social media, to achieve what exactly?

And uche, she has your number but you have her's too. Two wrongs don't make a right.

And if this is a publicity stunt, then may all the harmattan in uyo be transferred to the favourite rooms in your different residences.

The only cold room I know na Mortuary/Ice block machine. Make she dey where she dey oo.

Then you no be Lagosian!

Chiderad:
God bless your mother and you for this comments of yours.

Don't know if you are married? If not, may the good Lord bless with you an amazing friend as husband that will
give you rest all the days of your life. And if you are married, you'll enjoy your marriage to the fullest with fruitfulness
in Jesus Name.

Thank you dear, bless you and yours as well. I say a big amen to your prayer.

his picture is simply beautiful. Mama's joy and her son's reverence is so apparent. May God bless mama. These are the women who deserve the song 'my woman, my everything'

Corper, do make mama move to coldroom. May she not die before enjoying the reward of her labour.

Nice attempt at humour

I remember reading his interview online last year, where he said his clothes were in one shade and the same because he didn't want to worry about what he'd we're each morning

Nubian113:
Thank you. Lol at me being young, I'm not but then again I'm not a wife or mum so maybe that's why my views on this matter come across as a tad bit naive..
Thank you for your contributions.

Well, if you aren't young, then you are probably sheltered - no offence intended. I am also not a wife or mum yet but I know these things. I knew babies could come out with their legs around 10 years. I read about breeches and and birth defects then too from my mum's midwifery huge illustrative textbooks. I also asked questions too.
My uncle has 6 girls from his wife, he just played an away match and got a boy. Now his home is on fire, he hasn't told his wife yet but she has heard rumours and is causing trouble, I wonder what will happen when he finally tells her. Their first child will be 25 this year.

Nubian113:
This is her exact argument. Is it true that it's the man that determines the sex of the baby? So he could be shooting all girls,right, like that man you know. My sister kept trying for girls and number 4 and number 6 were her two princesses. Her husband never told her no after 3 boys because he can't afford more children, he let her fill her boots. I blame this on the west, and the lazy generation we are. Give the man his kids!! Lol

Yes, the man determines the sex of the baby. From the way you write, I guess you are pretty young but know that the body of a woman differs from other women, and what one woman can do, another might not be able. Simple analogy; do all the women in your family have the same kind of monthly periods? Some have longer periods, as some do shorter ones. Some have heavy, while some are light. Some have light, heavy or severe cramps. It is the same with childbearing women.

Also, planning and reality isn't often the same. Reality might throw out better or worse options, and a wise person knows to make adjustments.

jcross19:
you think the way your situation is that's how others are? .

And how is my situation, oh ye prophet of God? You who see nothing in having $20,000 carelessly lying around...please tell me how 'poor' I am...

ViNeHaNds:
i will let some days go by before raising the discussion up again with her, meanwhile what kind of jobs is available at the post office?

From menial jobs to average and good ones. There are always different sorts posted on the board for at most a week or so. My sister got a job as a graphics designer in a small firm, whilst waiting for service last two years, from a notice at the post office.

These things work this way and it is caused by the way most men priortise what they want from their future spouses. If you aren't that spiritual, do not seek for a very spiritual wife. The reason being that, since she will be obeying the bible, she will only follow the lead of the one who follows the bible as well. This is a why a man should be more spiritual than his wife, so that the 'spiritual' wife looks up naturally to him instead of 'unnaturally' looking up to a pastor.
Same with being an atheist, or traditional worshipper.
Of course, if the change occured after marriage, change with it, or ensure that you are more valuable

I agree that you should clarify with your aunt on why you shouldn't work, and try convincing her to let you to. If you are based in Uyo, you should be checking out the Post Office for jobs that would suit you.

PresVA:
Una still dey argue this? Different budget for different classes of people. . To each his own.. Don't spend beyond your means... fullstop


These threads are getting tiring please. .

Exactly! Every intending couple faces a unique situation, and so costs would usually vary. Whatever makes a couple happy. Enough of these kinds of threads...much ado about nothing.

Okay, we agree say the girl na tief, but what business does your husband and sister do to have careless cold hard cash $20,000 lying in the house accessible to the maid?

What joy did you derive for parts of your erroneous remark? Does being contemptuous add an inch to your height or N1 to your account?

MadCow1:
Shey Uyo is that place where the inhabitants are so poor Government has to subsidise Cinema tickets in order for them to be able to afford to watch films?





Why would you do a movie premier in that kind of place? Those Uyo people will just wait till Alaba boys start making the VCD and selling it at 100 Naira a copy.

Did he toss the mic after the interview? That's all I want to know

ikombe:
are u pained

Yes, satisfied?

They left off eating to do make up?

Just when I was about to bash DJ Jimmy on the previous thread...thankfully it wasn't his write-up as I was disappointed. No true heavyweight in the industry would write like that.

Half-baked bloggers be causing more problems than solving it.

Esejojo:
Fan of Novia's write-ups, but this one comes across as the poorest. Too many erros and ambuigities. Perhaps, because he was in a hurry to make it public.

Not a fan, but having read most of his epistles, I agree this is the poorest. Nothing was said, he didn't even carry out a proper research before writing especially as the category in question is based on votes.
I also expected him to slam the erring parties hard, but instead I am reading about cars for artistes. His muse might still be away on holidays though

All these artistes forming support group, should take several seats back. Pick your own fight against Don Jazzy or say exactly why you are beefing him, instead of throwing weak tentative jabs. Shioor!

sarutobie:
an award based on number of votes, your competitors rallied their fans for votes and succeeded in clinching the award and you come on stage giving the audience the F sign and cussing up and down? then ended the shameless charade by dropping the mic on the stage floor? and people find nothing disrespectful, vulgar and immature about that?? I must have come from mars for how else can I rationalize the decline in morality in this country.

I think people support who they like, admire or envy less regardless of the wrong act such a person might have committed.
Look at Basketmouth and Freeze; the former went below the belt while on stage, and when the latter responded on social media, more people slammed him.

The same applies in this case. Olamide comes out, throws a tantrum and most see nothing wrong, but Don Jazzy replies and suddenly, earth's oxygen is threatened. Why? Because according to people, being humble means being stupid.
It doesn't end there, Olamide then goes on a crazy twitter rant, cursing, threatening and mentioning the names of others, and hitting below the belt. Again, most don't see that, instead it's Don Jazzy's one liner on stage that is more terrible.

No true friend or fan would support olamide's acts both on and offline on this issue. It was a crass display and highly irresponsible.
Don Jazzy was wrong and should have crafted his statement more carefully not because of his humility but because CEOs and owners don't have the luxury of careless rants like their employees or workers. It ends up affecting the company and those work in it. Same goes for Olamide.

I like that of Bosun...I appreciate the photography...minimalistic yet speaks a thousand words

Going by her tweets, she's got her faults. If I don't smoke marijuana and someone accuses me of taking one as a reason to keep my child, you'd better prepare for war. So, if she agreed in her uncle's presence, Davido's dad and the other witnesses, that her child be kept from her(them) due to traces of marijuana, then she is guilty of taking marijuana. The question might be, when last did she take it?

If she agreed that the child be taken from her(them), she cannot then claim to be tricked in giving up her child, when she went to Coco's residence because I am sure they acted on the agreement from the meeting.

The outpouring of her emotions on social media, I am sorry to say, sounds forced. Emotions were needed at that meeting especially as you gave up your daughter without thinking twice, regardless of the many 'keep calms' your uncle might have told you. What was promised in exchange for your daughter? Why didn't your uncle act in your best interest then? Methinks, he needed the Adelekes, perhaps for future purposes.

I am not concerned about her sleeping with someone 5years her junior, since they were both adults when the acts occurred regardless of whatever intention they might have harboured.

As for Davido, get off social media with your rants. You cannot take a child that is still a dependent out of the country without the mother's consent, this applies to mothers too. No one is forcing you to love your daughter, so don't make it look like loving her is a big deal. Loving your daughter means being at peace with her mother. No one is saying travel with your baby mama, but seek her consent.
Your sister has no right to claim to be the biological mother (if this is true from the tweets), when she isn't, it shows clearly certain bad intentions from your family's side.
No, you weren't manipulated at 21 either.

Weighty! I don't envy the load you are carrying. Unfortunately, while I understand that you couldn't have gone against orders, I also think you could have done something, perhaps not even using equipment but something that would have made the victims more comfortable even in their discomfort knowing how they pack these victims haphazardly.

This is where I have a problem with doctors; you know how the system works...what have you done to make it better. Yes, your salary and work conditions are poor as compared to most countries but what have you done for the ones you took an oath for? It isn't just enough to go to work and see as many patients as possible; you should fight for the patients as well.

If I wrote a public letter addressing the president on the challenges of the health sector, I would write as a layman that I am not fully informed or aware of certain cirucumstances but imagine the difference if a doctor was to write!

What should be done about accident victims? Are there certain hospitals that should be funded by the government to care for accident victims so that even if they end up not paying, the hospital isn't carrying the financial strain?
Should there be signposts at hospitals directing a driver of the nearest emergency centre or recommended hospitals for accident victims, since not all hospitals can care for accident victims?
If nothing can be done for a victim, to what degree should such a person be made comfortable?
These questions and more are what doctors of whatever specialty need to consider even if it means interacting with the public. We cannot continue with such a dysfunctional system.
