[size=15pt]NOTHING LIKE GOD'S WILL IN MARRIAGE [/size] cos God cannot guarantee that the person WILL NOT CHANGE (to gay, lesbian, thief, ritualist, whatever). God can only tell you which one NOT to marry or that there's a possibility with the person. Shikena!!! You use your brain (if God has given a good sign of possibility), what you can do, God will not do for you. |
http://www.african-origins.org/ Just saw this. This might bring up bitterness. Why can't the issue just be buried? It can't be changed and it will only serve to increase the inferiority complex of black people and the superiority complex of whites. |
There is a reason why we are different from animals. We have brains to help us make decisions. Please don't marry unless you are ready and don't bring a child into this world unless you are ready. Its not compulsory. You are even a man. If I were you, I would wait till I am comfortable, maybe wait till age 40 sef. True. Life can be hard when you are swimming in money talkless of when you don't have enough. You better take it easy and not listen to people asking you to marry and be waiting for miracle. Let the miracle come first before you commit. As a man, all things being equal, you can have children at any time (you are not under the curse of Eve, lol). All I will say is that the world does NOT need one more hungry/suffering child,its got enough. |
med:True. |
Blazay:[size=13pt]3 GBAMS.[/size] @poster What happens when the Malvern st james girl finishes from university, presumably, Harvard or Wharton or Oxford? She also becomes an housewife forever? Okay o, staying at home is okay for a while to build the foundation of the children but not forever. |
tjskii:Haba, thats not what I meant oh. By 'it' I am including myself and people like the man and woman and child below(check links) and notice I put it in quotes. By the way, babies are sometimes referred to using 'it' (without quotes). Some people have this deepseated belief that people with special features are less than others, some don't even see or don't want to see them. Some believe they may have evil spirits, or that they are not solidly human or that they may transfer their attributes to them. So thats why I used 'it'. http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&pq=man+with+no+limbs&xhr=t&q=nick+vujicic&cp=5&rlz=1I7ADFA_en&wrapid=tljp1299083760203010&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&sa=X&ei=-XFuTbKNGoe3hQfv-Zk5&sqi=2&ved=0CFMQsAQ&biw=1131&bih=611 http://www.funkingdom.net/forum/interesting-articles/1123-extreme-determination-handless-woman-pilot.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/1958178/Werewolf-boy-begs-for-cure-to-rare-condition.html I am not trying to pity or insult Pawpaw. I love him (his acting) too much for that. I guess my statement didn't express my opinion properly. |
^^ Naija sha. Wetin be your own? Even if you know the answer, would the knowledge add money to your account? Leave the poor man alone. Put yourself in his shoes, if you were born that way will you like people asking you embarassing questions? Also, he never chose to be born short or into a family of short people. Give him some respect. If 'it' looks like a human being, RESPECT 'it'!!! |
samtoye:What matrimonial bliss are you talking about? Is it for just one side only? Abegii. Why do you think some African women are naturally bitter and harsh and most are witches (dem plentiiiiiiiii)? Please face facts. |

[b] @OP, children are a bundle to train, they can be trouble in their early days, boys or girls. but one thing is certain. most societies are male-dominated and most of your points are really some stereotypes established and sustained by a male-dominated society. it is why you see that most men avoid successful, intelligent and beautiful independent women. these ones were not given any extra-special girl-focused attention. i am sure they were given equal attention just like the boys. Male-dominated societies are insecure of the fact that biologically, females mature much quicker than males the same age and this can pose a problem. so they give you that story that girls are harder to train so you need to buy em more clothes, give em money when they want and teach them to care about their looks (rather than intelligence) so they can find a husband easily and settle down to have kids give a girl equal footing as a boy child when growing up, chances are she'll be better off. guys always seem to rough their way through anything growing up, why not give a girl child the same benefit of doubt and train them equally[/b] Don't I just love you Larger? |

Outstrip:Outstrip it is really not that bad. Naija wives/househelps that I know have always washed at least a bundle of a week's used clothes INCLUDING JEANS AND THICK CURTAINS for at least 6 people in 1 or 2 hours. They are used to it. When the wives get tired, they either get househelps, sisters or washerman to help out but the washerman/woman is a human being too. Its all about training though. I know people (women) who love washing to the extent that they can collect other people's clothes to wash when they are through with theirs. My former neighbour used to wash her clothes like 3 times every Saturday morning. It was her hobby. But two months after she got married, her husband bundled her back to her father's house to rest cos she was sick from fatigue as a result of housework. She said the work was killing. Her father had lost a daughter so did not want to lose another so she had to be brought back home to rest. Besides she was already pregnant. The man MUST always help if needed. Besides not all people can afford big generators to power washing machines. |
Adam and Eve were virgins though. |
It can be anybody's job. Anybody who has the power to do it at that moment. As an African I was brought up to belive it is wrong for a married man to wash his own clothes but later in life I saw and heard of Nigerian men who did their laundry and ironing exclusively by themselves, some to help their wives some were just being perfectionists. Seriously women are not some superbeings. Is it not the same husband who will complain that his wife is not being wild and tireless in bed and yet he wants her to wash his clothes, her clothes, the home's fabrics like curtains and bed sheets and the children's clothes which are always REALLY dirty How often are manly jobs e.g. car fiixng, etc required compared to everyday tasks like laundry, etc.?Please let the woman do it but with much help (if and when it is needed) from the man. That's what all the plenty food he eats is meant for. A vibrant sex life is better than a perfectly neat home or so I heard. |
vanitty:GBAM! Even the Bible teaches us to be diplomatic and put ourselves in the shoes of the next person/neighbour. Haba, imagine if you were Bawo's mum/dad, conceived him, carried his preg., delivered with pain, breastfed him, played with him, nurtured him, bathed him, took him to school for the 1st time, etc till now and somebody now says your baby will not make heaven. How will you feel? Xtians are meant to comfort not pour salt into people's wounds. Please leave judgement to God, even God advises us to be tactful, wise as a serpent. Please nobody knows the WHOLE picture of how God will judge. If you do then you should have the answers to everything. Please respect the dead, have some human or xtian feelings, think of his folks and put yourself in their position like Jesus preached. |
This is so . . . pain . . . ful!!! RIP Nairaland veteran. May God embrace you as you arrive over there. But its not just fair sha. This life. Why is death so final as in the final of the finals? And he was so young! Please God (from the bottom of my heart He was one great Nlder. RIP Amen. |

@video, SEEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please God, no war o! Ehm what do you guys think about George Bush (war inventor), Tony Blair (greedy man) and Condolezza Rice coming to Nigeria for ThisDay concert one time like that. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-403969.0.html And you know IBB's man Nduka is in control of ThisDay. Also, some editors have been murdered at ThisDay. http://allafrica.com/stories/200808190789.html And the recent arms importation? I think these people have a sinister plan for Nigeria. And they have already prophesised our break-up and protrayed us as unstable. |
Bhola:DOES GOD EVER REVENGE? Don't think so. Even when He does and for example, the kids maybe have serious migraine ask for forgiveness and get healed? Or a pastor prays for them to be free of the "curses"? What then happens to the millions of wasted Nigerian destinies? Will God's revenge bring them back or help them as the case may be? What if they don't have kids ? (highly impossible though)Thats why the law must take its course. Let them all die now! |

The woman should try and appeal to her in-laws as others have said, treat the coming visitors VERY well (she could take a break from work or get help) and do a lot of praying. If it does not work, she should involve her parents and if that fails, she could wait a bit and try more before walking out. She has to put in her best possible effort since the man took a risk by marrying her against his own mother's wishes and I am sure he must have loved her at least a bit to have done that. But truly there are some human beings who CANNOT be pleased, the more you stoop to conquer, the more they wickedly and heartlessly ride you. No wonder some wives adopt diabolical means to fight back after they have been pushed to the wall. But prayer can work wonders especially if she has a lot of other strong people praying along cos if she is the only one praying, she fit quench ![]() |
If a woman really makes it, everybody will hear of her father's name because whether she is married or not, she is still his descendant. You will see people that do not know her personally but they know her father's name, his occupation, etc . If her great great grandfather was a King, they will mention his name in her biography or something.But of what use is a name or so-called bloodline if the man does not make it or if its not a king's own. There are hundreds of millions of bloodlines/names all over the world from China, India, Phillipines, Thailand,Colombia,Tanzania,Nepal,Peru ,Uzbekistan ,Syria,Madagascar, Kazakhstan ,Cuba, Rwanda,Azerbaijan , Belarus,Paraguay,Costa Rica,Croatia,Eritrea,Lebanon,Norway,Mongolia,Uruguay,Albania,Swaziland,Equitorial Gunea, Cape Verde, Russia, Iceland, Canada, Samoa, Monaco, Burkina Faso, Haiti, Uganda, Malawi, Morocco, . . . , phew! . So what makes a particular Nigerian bloodline special? . Also a lot of people both men and women change their surnames or alter it for different reasons.The most important thing is (whether male or female), the person's life should count. If its a girl, fine, if its a boy, fine. |

Artist creates famous landmarks from around the world out of SIX MILLION TOOTHPICKS By Daily Mail Reporter His face is the picture of concentration as he painstakingly finishes off Cambodian temple Angkor Wat. And concentration is something Stan Munro certainly doesn't lack after spending six years building famous landmarks from around the world - using six million toothpicks. The former television presenter used more than 170 litres of glue as he worked full time on buildings such as Big Ben, Tower Bridg[/b]e and [b]The Vatican. He has also recreated Sydney's Opera House, the Taj Mahal and Cutty Sark in 1:164 scale. The married 38-year-old can take anything from one day to six months to make each building. The majority of his time goes into research. He downloads as many technical drawings and satellite images as possible from the internet and scales the rest himself. Stan's buildings are largely hollow, with just a few structural supports - also made from the toothpicks he buys direct from a wholesaler. The larger models are made in separate pieces so they can be moved with less hassle. Stan continues to work on his models at the Museum of Science and Technology in Syracuse, New York, United States.

I don't know anything about anyone of the above points, all I know is our food (vegetables and fruits) is sweeter because its pure and organic. For example, banana,tomato, etc. I wish I ate more fruits back home. I miss Nigeria's organic food and can't afford organic here. chai! ![]() but really its not so bad. its just that organic tastes much better. they've a huge variety of fruits and veg sometimes i think some of them might have been invented in the lab . Best veg - broccoli and asparagus. anyway, i eat mostly african food;rice and swallows though most of it is not fresh but cooked n frozen. For water, na boiled tap (recycled poo water ) water i dey drink and i feel good ![]() |
