BlindAngel: Good afternoon Nairalanders, my wife gave birth last week which was Saturday July 13th, that day was also my birthday, she gave birth through CS, this is our first child, and it's a boy.
This week Saturday is our baby's naming ceremony but my wife is insisting that her pastor must be the one officiate the naming the child, we've been disagreeing over this for some couple of days now,
she has called me all sorts of names, insulted me that I'm a very wicked man that I have no conscience, that after she pain and tearing she went through and still going through, I can't make this as a sacrifice for her, that I choose my family over her. She said so because my family also insist too that the naming must be done by our pastor.
But she's keying on the fact that she won't agree for the naming to be done in my church that it must be done by her pastor, she has cried and insulted me regarding this. Yesterday when we were arguing about this same particular issue she starting crying endlessly and calling me a wicked man.
I have finally agreed for her to use her pastor to do the naming, although I don't know her pastor and haven't seen him before, but I only agreed because of the CS operation she did while giving birth, her endless crying might affect her, if not there's absolutely no way possible I'd have agreed.
I must say that she doesn't know the repercussions of what sha has done by challenging my authority and always wanting to have her way with tears all the time. But time sha tell, I'm in so much rage right now, and I'm trying my possible best to control myself and not to loose my anger over this.
Both of you should get it together. Get a neutral Pastor to do the naming. Mind you, there are many arguments that awaits you in the future like
Names given to the child School to attend Church to attend And many more....you guys are just petty
triplechoice: I'm not defending the combination on every page. I haven't insisted everyone must put eggs in their egusi soup. I said it's matter of choice if you want to. You're the one who has been blindly defending your primitive cultural practices which makes you believe it's wrong to add eggs to plate of egusi soup .
How does culture shock makes eating of eggs with egusi soup a bad thing or unhealthy?
You want to lecture me on something you don't fully understand using what you Googled online .SMH.
The shock you are experiencing about others eating eggs and egusi is subjective . There's nothing objectively wrong about the food combination .The Asian enjoyed the meal and didn't express any culture shock and that's because he isn't programmed to react like you. Your superstitious beliefs about using eggs with egusi is what's working against you,
In Ghana ,eggs and other poultry products are readily available and very cheap when compared to Nigeria, and that's why, it's not uncommon to find some ghanaians adding it to their every meal. It has nothing to do with any culture as you think. You should be asking questions to know the truth about what others are doing elsewhere and don't conclude hastily based on what you think
I was almost going to ignore your level of illiteracy, inarticulated submission and repetitive opinion until I got to the bolded.
Nigeria has the largest annual egg production and second largest chicken population in Africa.
Ghanaian migration roots in Nigeria:
The story begins long before the expulsion. In the 1970s and early 1980s, Ghana struggled with severe economic hardship. Dwindling oil reserves, high inflation, and mounting debt led to a decline in living standards.
Many Ghanaians, seeking better opportunities, migrated to neighbouring Nigeria, which enjoyed a booming economy fueled by its oil wealth.
I still have the "Ghana must go bags that your forefathers used to pack their clothes in the 70-80s back to Ghana. Imagine, leaving eggs behind to come here for greener pasture

naptu2: The Super Falcons of Nigeria lost a closed-door training match 1-0 to defending Olympic champions Canada yesterday. However, the Nigerians won the practice penalty shootout 5-4.
The game, which took place in Marbella, Spain, was a friendly training match ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Nigeria's first game at the Olympics is against Brazil on July 25th.
They should practice the shoot out more. Last shoot out at the World cup against England was terrible
triplechoice: Some Nigerians don't see anything wrong in adding eggs to a plate of egusi soup that also contain lots of meats and fish. I do that sometimes and I know of so many others who do the same.
If you don't like it, then the problem ,I'm afraid is you and nothing to do with the food combination of egusi soup and eggs or any culture shock.
You will start to make sense if you can mention the health disadvantages of egusi soup and eggs
Lolz See how you go about every page defending the combination. That should tell you that you are missing the point.
Now, let me school you about what culture shock is all about. Its not about RIGHT or WRONG, it's about how people do certain things differently from where you were coming from.
Some examples of culture shock include feeling surprised by differences in language, culture, climate, food, as well as the differences in systems that are in place in different countries
e.g. In some countries people actually use their left hand to pass on anything
Two fingers in the air is a form of insult in Scotland
triplechoice: You're not used to it doesn't mean it's wrong to add eggs to egusi soup if you want to. I can only listen to you if you mention the health disadvantages of adding eggs to it.
The egusi soup given to the Asian also contained meats and fish. But you're you all ignoring that to focus only on the egg as if that's the only thing it contains.
Nigerians from the south south have no qualms in adding eggs to egusi soups.
triplechoice: You're wired by superstition beliefs about eggs in egusi soup. Lots of Nigerians who know the health benefits of having eggs in their meal are using it in their soups or stew .I know because I was born in Nigeria and grew up here .
You are missing the point. We know the health benefits of egg
We are only familiar with combinations like
Rice n egg Noodles n egg Yam n egg Bread n egg Plantain n egg
But swallow n egg......e no enter
Our forefathers ate swallow with bush meat/ any meat or fish in the sea. We grew up and got wired that way
HMD, the makers of Nokia phones have released new series of smartphones and the Pulse Pro is the best of the Pulse series which comprises of the Pulse and Pulse+ alongside the Pro. Much like Nokia, HMD did not come for dramatic designs as kept it classy for not just the Pulse series but even the high end phones, according to the leaks and rumours. Let me know what you think of HMD design, specs and camera. See screenshots form the video below (Reduced for NL)
Price - ₦224,400
Spending 200k on phone that will be under utilised with reading mails and viewing WhatsApp status is foolishness
Sonnobax15: . Not only Ghanaians bro.....We Nigerians also eat our swallows with egg...... Personally,i do eat it alongside with swallow often times...And it'd be the highest level of hypocrisy if I should come online to pretend as tho I've never done that before, whereas na something wey I dey do always......
Nigerians don't...I don't know where get that from
Sonnobax15: Africans and hypocrisy cha . Just see how some mumu people just carry their mumu-ness enter the guy comment zone just to castigate the egg...........Some of Dem might have even eaten that kinda combo today but would still come online to form effizy...
Well,Africans dishes are certainly the best delicacies in the world...... Our people wey dey for Europe and other continents can attest to that as a fact
They were right, only Ghanaians use egg to eat swallow
I am seeking advice on relocating to either Germany or Canada at the beginning of next year. I currently work remotely as the sole UI/UX designer for a tech company in Nigeria. I am married and in my late 20s. The idea of relocating has been on my mind for a few months now, and I have seriously been considering leaving the country. I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering.
A friend suggested that I could move through a study program, but I am not sure if I can focus on academics at the moment. I am keen to hear how others have successfully and legitimately relocated. My wife is insistent that I shouldn’t leave the country without her, so I am planning for both of us to move together.
I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed with relocating to either Germany or Canada. If you prefer to share detailed information privately, my email is in my signature.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Your degree won't work there. Them no rate us
Settling down can take you at least 6 months and it's going to be very rough, so discuss with your wife if she is ready to go through the troubles ahead or you should go alone for now
Hemanwel: 100M plus SUV to the person who will expose his/her private parts the most to the public?? From July to October? A whole 3 months for nonsense and ingredients? And jobless Nigerian youths will, in the midst of the current hardship, use their little/scarce resources to vote? Who did this to our youths?
