[quote author=Supreme145 post=108428385]There is this motion that giving birth to children is an achievement in this country. I see young guys in mid and late twenties rushing into marriage while they are barely standing on their feet. From someone that comes from a family of 10 I'm sure if my dad is given a second chance he won't give birth as much children again. Let me share some of my experiences as regards giving birth without proper planning or sustainable income. I've a neighbor in my compound, he's 32 and in his final year in the university, I can hardly have decent conversation with him without hearing about how he wants to get married. I would always remind him that he's living in a one room apartment, still a student without a strong source of income, but he would counter me saying that he can always start small and grow with his wife. Moreover when he gives birth he would have an investment. I've have another friend that was a classmate in secondary school, he graduated the year I got admission though he had some issues with his results. One day he called me that he's married and I was surprised, though he is an artisan into all those parapets and pop stuffs I know he wasn't financially buoyant enough to carry a family. The last time I visited him he was looking malnourished and unable to sort out his issues in school almost four years after because according to him any money that he gets already has a pending issue waiting for it. He's looking far older than his elder brother who's still single, he looks 38 when he's just 30. He consoled himself by telling me that even if he doesn't have money he already has two kids which he sees an investment and a great achievement. Meanwhile they are cramped into a single room apartment and none of the kids are enrolled in school. Last week while we were training in the evening, an argument broke out between two young guys. I was just by the side observing what was happening, I kept hearing stuffs like....why you dey argue with that guy? you no know say na person father he be? that guy don born two children o abi you think say e easy to born, na big achievement be that o. Now this is a guy that is about 25 years and has no sustainable means of income, he works in peoples farms and other menial jobs to make ends meet. My next door married neighbor has become a torn in my flesh, he's always borrowing from me without paying so it's obvious he's struggling financially, factor in the constant arguments with his wife due to shortage of funds all the time. I once asked him why rushed to get married without a good source of income and he bluntly told me that he had always been broke while he was single and still broke now that he's married the only difference is that he can boast of his kids as an achievement unlike when he was single that he had nothing to boast of. I have no issues what so ever with how anyone choose to life their life but considering the economic condition of this country now bringing in kids without proper plans is not the way to go. If my dad had given birth to maybe 3 kids I'm sure he wouldn't be stressed out the way he is now and the resources used in training 8 kids would be better managed on just 3kids. Personally I feel that one of the surest way to perpetual poverty as a young guy is to get married while struggling financially. Like one of the examples above, he cast aside his personal development and aspirations just to cater for his family. Supposing he's still single I'm sure he would have cleared he's outstanding school fees and maybe get his certificate. Well since I'm still single and still struggling I don't judge anybody, every mallam to his kettle. As for me no marriage till I'm financially stable enough to afford at least 3 bedroom flat, a small car and substantial savings. It would be an abomination for me to bring a child into this world to pass through the kind of life I had growing up is untill when u get that money, build ur desired house, buy ur desired car then u get Married and u start ruining up and down looking for children at all cost and ur I'll- gotten Money can not buy u one u will get answer to ur stewpeed question. shallow thinker. |

[quote author=LiegeMan post=107094267]Anger And Vengeance Is Taking The Best Part Of Me hello nairalanders, Sorry to disturb your peace but this has been going on in my mind for long and I really need suggestions on how to overcome it. I gave in to ire/anger and it's gradually taking the best part of me since I made a little discovery about my wife's past and how she lived her life while in the campus. I will try and make it as snappy as possible in order not to make you spend much of your time on my case. Now, it goes this way, my wife came from a middle class family and she attended one of the best and prestigious higher institutions in the country, they're not too rich and they're not poor, infact, their family name can't be in the same sentence with poverty. She had everything she needed and lived her life to the fullest while in the campus, she flirted with and dated the best guys in the campus, she visited many night clubs and other exuberant and flamboyant life style that pertains to the campus. Now on my own part, I attended one of the Colleges of Education that littered our country, I did everything all by myself, I sponsored myself throughout my stay in the college, I did all manner of odd jobs to survive, sometimes, I would miss lectures due to lack of cash, no one to assist, all these limitations made me not to pay attention towards the opposite sex as I was busy struggling to survive and hoping unto God for a miracle. Right now, all I am feeling is anger, ire, all I want now is vengeance knowing fully well that while I was suffering and struggling to survive, fasting without praying, carrying bricks and block from one floor to the other, jumping from one market to the other hawking my wares, that my wife was busy somewhere enjoying and partying away her future, right now, I want to have my revenge, I want to live those life that I wasn't opportune to live, I want to flirt and have fun with many ladies both young and old, I want to visit as many night clubs as possible now that money is flowing in, I careless about the consequences and how she may feel, these are exactly what I'm feeling now. this can't keep troubling me that's why I brought it here for suggestions and elderly advice Man, d way reason Shows u are not matured. simple. |

[quote author=Iamafinegirl post=99331066]Please I need your help or view point in this matter. Am I just over reacting at is this a red flag to which I need to run far away from? My current boo asked me out for like one and half year, it was like it’s either me or no one else. His friends and bosses in his office had to speak to me to consider him as I might be missing a good man and how crazy he is about me. I finally accepted. I decided to move in with him after a while just to see what marriage to him would feel like with him. I have stayed a year with him and it’s void of sex and kissing. When I came he would say they should put on the gen anytime there was no light for me and all, he was sweet. With time he started complaining that he was buying all the food in the house and I wasn’t contributing as much as he wants. He eats about 5 times a day while I eat twice or one and half times (fruit, oat and pap) a day because me I am watching my weight. He would complain the milk he bought had finished and all...and it was with some level of anger or bitterness about buying the food stuff. Pls note that I consume 25% - 30% of all he eats. I later started buying my milk to avoid issues since I knew that’s what I consume most (with my oat or pap) which makes one of my meal for the day but he was angry about me buying it separately but I did that because I felt there would be peace that way. I would still buy milk and keep and he can say I am using more than he is using inside the milk He complained about repairs (light), complained about buying dstv subscription, nepa light payment etc. You just list any house thing he started complained about doing it. I on my path do contribute the way I spent before I came to stay with him. (I wasn’t a huge spender as I eat very small food) and so my money use to remain which he used to borrow from me when we werent together. We had a him 60k and me 40k arrangement for food fuel light etc but we never put it together and so each week I did ensure I spend 10k. But apparently he wasn’t seeing it. I would come from market and he would say what is all this, this is worth 5k. It use to hurt so much because I wld show him the list but he would still say this same thing. I have never asked him how much he bought things if he goes to market talk less if say it’s not up to a certain amount. He said later that he can’t marry a woman who works and won’t contribute for light, food, repair, gen etc.... So even today we contributed for dstv 4700, I paid half and he paid half. It looks sort of absurd and a no no to me Yesterday he bought apples 800 naira and I paid half and he paid half.... And so that’s how the current life would be.... I contributed to the rent also but he said no... that he would “dash me” rent. I see it upside down for a man to be saying he is paying rent and see it that he is dashing me. When I can pay my rent by myself. If I was living alone the same way he has been living alone, won’t I do my repair, dstv subscription etc without asking anybody? So why is it a big deal the moment I stepped in? This are things if my friend came to live with me to God who made me I would do/ take responsibility for because the dstv subscription I would have paid for before won’t change with your presence...the only thing that may change is water and food. This is dating phase, please what marriage would become of this. Am I the one at fault? I need honest reviews so I can know if I am having problem and if I need to work on myself or if I need to run. My parents marriage wasn’t like this my dad bought food and mum did other investments for the family or so and it was never an issue or was there a specific fight that you, you are not buying enough milk on the house or I can’t see d 10k food u said you just bought...it doesn’t look it etc. He would also say me I want to be saving my money and all. Pls what’s d way forward or backward married folks, married men and women, what am I not seeing that you can see? There is no iota of maturity in that boy because he's not yet a man and not yet ready for marriage. My sister,Get married to who knows d true definitions of marriage and not to a boy that runs Marriage like school hostel roommates. when a man is ready for marriage he should know he is ready for responsibilities of two to five people depending on number of kids u wish to bear plus your previous responsibilities. You dont force your wife to contribute but she will contribute but not as Insane as 50-50% who does that? Carry responsibilities without looking upon her but a wise woman Wil also see where is loopholes to fill too, based on mutual understanding between two of u. Four years courtship with five years of successful Marriage experience no be beans. |
Piboy:Young Piboy:Young Piboy:Hello dude . vowing never to get married is your own personal problem and those who can share from your problem are your family. so, don't come here spitting your stupid vow worrying you out of your ignorant immature age to disturb our peace besides, who told you Kayne's life is about to get ruined? Next time get root of d matter before you decide to post rubbish here. |

blinking001:people like u are d problems of this generation. You have no brain to simply reason that government should find other way to solve the country's problem than stealing from individual that government provides no benefit for. Being able to think of d way to tackle people's problem is what is called leadership. You dummy still support d failed government that can't give palliatives during lockdown to steal from dormant accounts without owner's consent. U are a disgrace . |

[quote author=donnie post=97029698]We just killed this beautifully colored snake moments ago. My staff saw the snake 2 says ago while attending to my dog and ran away shouting Jesus Jesus. Today again he saw it at my backyard and ran away saying it was looking at him. SMH. This time, we will have none of it. I ran home from my farm and we killed the damned creature. PLEASE young men nor dey fear snake like that o, na falling of hand if you follow your momsie and sister japa. All priases to YAH. And no, we don't eat snakes, it's an unclean animal. They call it " isan belt" because it's skin looks like belt and its species don't usually grow bigger that that. That is one of the biggest of its type self. |
