Of course I am scared!

Marriage is scary!

So double dealing isn't? all the STIs you bring home to your spouse?

I'm not up for Marriage epistle this ( checks time) afternoon...

Marriage is not for selfish minds. You must be ready to put others need before yours.. Learnt this the hard way myself.

Being Selfless and Patient.

generalissimo:
E ma gbo oro buruku lenu eye. Stop calling a spade a spoon. It takes only a cheater to see the act as circumstancial. There is more of B'ITCH than HUMAN in most of cheaters. They only express it. Shikena!

Setaje:
Please if u cannot address me well do not quote me. What do u mean by oro buruku lenu eye. Eyin omode won yi. E kan ma la enu yin ma soro anyhow. If u don't accept it, u either move on or give me reasons. Emi o kin soro buruku sogbo!.

E ma ja oh.

striktlymi:
If a spouse is faithful in many things but one. Fulfills all other responsibilities to the partner and the children but for some reason the person can't stop extramarital affairs.

Would that singular act make him or her a terrible person to live with as a spouse and a parent?

YES.. Why is this up for debate? It's immoral and rude to cheat on your Legal spouse. It's a promise that MUST be kept For the rest of your life.

Bros.. You seem scared, marriage is not for everyone you know? How's the house help search going?

So what's your business with that?

She's a grown up adult and is responsible & accountable for her actions and consequences respectively. How is this complicated to grasp??

Nigerian Parents and Relatives should stop pampering overgrown babies jare. her life , her decision.

Stillfire:
Lol, I always say it here I prefer to go to Yoruba parties. I wont be surprised if I'm in one youtube owanbe clip.
As for sewing uniform, my mum would only sew a uniform during Igbo village meetings. For weddings she would wear what she likes. My dad doesn't even have a traditional wear, lol. I think it's recent Igbo people are imbibing some color code into weddings too, only the bride or groom used to coordinate or maybe the maidens following the bride. Igbos are not strict on the asoebi thing.
I've seen Yoruba wear asoebi for a 6 year old doing her birthday, wear a different asoebi for sunday thanksgiving...these are the things we find weird, I wont lie. In my mind I'm like hanhan it's not that serious. lol.

Cool !

@bold.. Lol at 'its not that serious', when my fiancé first visited my house and the first large portrait starring him on the face was mine - 4 years old traditional attire (all damask) , his facial expression was priceless he was like whoa!

We attend all white church and my kids are always in dresses and aso ebis and gele (yes). they always take their pictures in church, they just can't help it. too much
****

Just one life, one life to live. I savour every moment with no regrets.

edwife:
Lol,and i am called fake nigerian for this -i thought i was the only one.

I knew aso ebi long ago,you can't miss them in traditional wedding in ibgoland-owambe is what i don't get.

Lol... As fake as they come
Edwife honestly I heard & learnt all these terms ( owanbe, aso ebi) via NL .. We call it party in my hood

cococandy:
Hmm that's not true.
Many Igbo folks like owanbe parties.
I didn't even know aso-ebi was a Yoruba thing until I grew up because I grew up seeing it at all weddings trad and white alike.
Those days in lagos. See Igbos at owanbe parties on our street. Invited or not

Wow that's a shocking revelation ... I guess NL critiques are hypocrites then.
My Igbo Aunty will flaunt her George & even tell the artiste to call her latest new car she just landed and take the center stage , dance so Tay till mobile bank's out of $1 bills lobatan I must confess , had to ask her if she's sure of her paternity

Thank you Jesus!

edwife:
Lol @ counterfeit

But how do you know that they are ibgos?how many tribes do we have in Nigeria again?

Someone even asked me before if ibgos and Yorubas were the only tribes in Nigeria?

Its a counterfeit oh Live from Houston TX.

Abeg I'm not gonna play ostrich on this one.. Igbos just don't dig our owanbes and ashebi aso ebi ceremonies , I get it ,that's what makes us different but trashing us is going too far.
And to think I have Igbo Aunty that knows every nook and crannies of owanbe boggles mind

@tribes
They mostly ask me same q too. I just kuku ma bring out my atlas

chaircover:
On vals day, My neighbour took his wife away for the night
Weeks before he had asked my older son to please take his dog for walkies
My neighnour and his wife left at noon on Saturday and got back at noon on Sunday
My kid walked the dog at 5pm and again at 10pm
My neighbours family member also came on Sunday morning to walk the dog
This is just a dog and for one night
Talk less of leaving kids at home by themselves for 3 weeks.

Pet sitting ... My daughter's weekend job. $5/hr

edwife:
[s]Another Segun will come,a better one self [/s]...
That's is why motherhood is not for irresponsible women.
If you want to still go to every party,simply send the kids to their father or don't give birth to any child.

Maybe not 18,if it was a 16 and 15 years old left for 3 days yes but a week is also madness.

Absolutely.. But I think you kinda misunderstand me. I do not endorse the woman's action in any way. So don't get your parenting advice I will never leave my kids alone in the house even at 15. My dog goes to doggy daycare every week days sef. I don't condone any irresponsible act of sort.

Another Segun is a counterfeit

edwife:
But Ewuro this is not about owambe or whatever...will it not be another party by the time those kids are 18?

It is Ediwife..other tribes esp Igbos are mostly ecstatic to ROAST every Yoruba woman & her owanbe palaver.

Not their fault.. This stupid woman caused it.

18years?? what's left to enjoy Segun Gele for don become grandpa by then.

Kuilye .. That's a complete no no jare, let's call a spade a spade.

A friend once told me how I often enjoy 'dragging' my kids (her words ) everywhere with me. That in Naija kids stayed at home alone and my kids are spoiled blah blah, I just maintained my cool through our convo and hung up when she finished yapping. Leave a 10yr old and 2 toddlers at home without a nanny ( tax deductible expenses).

Enemy of progress, I avoided her & her calls like a plaque since then. Sheesh..

alutacontinua:
Not saying it's impossible but it might be a lil more difficult in the western setting of daycare center, given the security measures and all what not.....even at that

But in the Naija setting, biko, forget it.....plenty places and times to fidlle...
Sexual abuse is real, very real! I've heard stories, I mean from victims that make me shiver

Let me get this straight ; He's capable of doing all the gory stuff you described while a woman isn't ??
So in a nutshell according to you, male caregivers in Naija are craddle robbers??

O my goodness did you read what you just typed?

And there we go again about hearsays; 'I've heard stories blah blah' ( not one single eye witnessed).

LOL kuilye don land ... See how this useless woman gave nitwits of sorts the free will to trash my beloved Owanbe

Amunibuni obinrin ota aje, enemy of progress

tociano009:
omo ale

Will he fiddle with the baby in an open area like a daycare centre ? A childcare professional??

This is just another level of prejudice and it breaks my heart.

coogar:
i mean - who goes to a wedding for 3 weeks? so she has no family or friend she could have left the kids with before flying to nigeria?

Maybe she didnt want them to know her plans... witch things

You can't even leave your pets alone unattended for 12hrs not to talk of days. Those kids are best with their father , else foster home here they come

You know cases like these sometimes makes me question God , why favor irresponsible peep with children when the good ones are often denied?

coogar:
she probably went to naija to meet an online boyfriend.

coogar eh.

irresponsible woman, she doesn't deserve those kids.

3 weeks to attend just 1 owanbe??

Coven witches Stillwater will catch all of una

Hmm talk about penetration (aka physical damage/trauma).... I thought lesbians use dildôs too.. Now, That I've seen with my two korokoro eyes.

Teefee I admire your slideshows ... Thanks for shiarin

naijababe:
I am almost as bad as Chaircover, I nordrey joke with these thimgs o

jisos is that grocery bag from where I think it is?? From home?

I'm logging off Naijababe I'm now depressed seeing this.

Immigration seized all the food including whole egusi my mom sent. NOOOOO this is NOT FAIR!!

Hopefully.

naijababe:
Make I no lie, if i comot for this UK, na naija I dey go! Make I send you picture of the igbin that I will be cooking with asaro tomorrow night?

I can imagine. You'll fall sick for my hood oh, we hardly often eat stuff like these.

Please show me... These useless African stores we have here should be closed for good I swear.. Nonsense.


Or maybe not

bellong:
Yes, I left the palm oil thirsty gods and switched to Ferrari and pounded yam thirsty ones..

These new gods will send person go oko eru oh they just review and renew their need every year..

naijababe:
Ni tori iyan lasan lasan na him you dey vex like this! You should be thankful I did not want to eat abodi ponmo sisun with my iyan this night!

@ Bellong, the gods are very happy, I got a bumper an hour ago ...................long live the 'gods'

Hian.. I dey vex jare .. Haha otipoju , abodi ponmo sisun ke, for that same UK?? Omo that place is home away from home.

its an hypothesis because it's almost impossible to happen no? So what's the relevance?

Anyways, babies, toddlers or Tweens ... As already pointed out, our Experience shapes us; parents with disturbed background/ experience will have such notion against male childcare workers. Not judging them, that's just life.

naijababe:
Even if I was two days late

Yesu iwonikontan seriously some people are just selfish.. I have no choice but to kuku invite you over and take over my kitchen through your vacation. Omo I wan quench ;

bellong:
This look so much like the food the gods ate yesternite...

Thought you left the gods with 2014?
Ko buru.. These una gods are super longthroats.
