In all honesty it appears every day that men are the more loyal and selfless gender. By some distance.

Exactly

Women can never cease to amaze me.

At least I can agree that some of our female grandparents may have done that at a time but you cant claim that most of our parents got married age 15...thats just not true sorry..

It happens a lot in rural communities but its not the majority of people, especially people who are literate and able to use the forum. Plus society was different back then so theres no justification for such things now. Thats why there are so many campaigns by governments and NGOs to stop child marriage

And you cant compare being married to whatever it is this chick is doing (though I agree with you that it didnt give her sister the right to abuse her)

Thanks for seeing reasons with me...

Your history is yours and very different from mine. I cannot pass such wrong information about my heritage.
While some parts of the country do practice child marriages even till this day, some parts of the country do not have such practices.
Like I mentioned earlier, we don't do child marriages in my area, and perhaps in the 1800s (which I even doubt), it was a thing, but definitely not in the 1900s. I say this because even in Awolowo's time who was born in 1909, it was not a thing. Awolowo's wife was married at the age of 26 years. This is a woman born in 1915 or so.
My grandfather, a man of means with over 20 wives never married someone less than 18 years old. Neither did any of his numerous children. His first grandchild is same age group as my parent, and neither did even any of his progeny try such.
I repeat again, it is your place they do so. I will not share your history with my children, but rather mine. We don't do such in my place and can never encourage such. It is greatly frowned upon o.

Thanks...
But when you get to find out quote me...
For now bye...

eyinjuege:


This your assumption is wrong o.
Neither my parents nor grandparents ever got married that young. They are all from large families, but there is nobody in our history ever getting married that young. Perhaps in the 1800s, but definitely not in the 1900s
Nobody has ever supported such a marriage of a child where I come from.
Maybe from the age of 18, it may be considered.

This is no assumption, it's a fact...
I have seen many from the past...

A lot of Nairalanders might not have the opportunity to have seen, that's why we have history...

So I am telling you history so you will have the opportunity to tell the younger one's too...

Too bad

Give yourself an answer...

[quote author=CeterisXVII post=85842677][/quote]

Then you are yet to know me...

CeterisXVII:


Well done! Again, your shallow responses keep exposing how mannerless and ill-trained you are, on the home front.

Continue.....!! Let your fellow clowns applaud your lack of respect, and low mentality. Keep it up.

By the way, how many of your elders have you beaten up today, because they said something you did not like?

You see how shallow your sense of reasoning is...
You don't respond because you are being scolded or insulted...
This was a continuous act and it was even dished to her husband regularly...

If you are trained to be a coward the OP is not and I am not... We are sorry about that...

If your definition of respect and high mentality lies in beating and insulting your younger ones...

Then I have no respect for a fool like you...

CeterisXVII:

I told you lacked good values, home training and respect in my former post, and your new response just proves it.

If in your family, you beat up people older than you for scolding or insulting you, then I feel sorry for you.

Such things are a taboo or an abomination, in my own family and community. Now run along....try and learn some manners before coming back here to rant nonsense.

When you grow older, l believe those younger than you in all respects and ramifications, will dish out slaps and beatings to you. Since that is what you believe can make you see sense.....

Your parents did a bad job...
If in your family an elder always bullying the younger one is a norm....
And your parents applaud the elder one...

Then I am so sorry i can't help you...
no word can change you just manage your life...

Now and at old age I won't be so foolish to continuously insult and beat my younger ones...

Since its a right in your family continue...

CeterisXVII:

Each time you make a comment, you reveal how shallow you are.

You keep saying our parents got married so early....and a girl at 14 years is ripe for marriage? Maybe in your community, but not in mine! I have refuted your claims, but you keep insisting on peddling fiction that has no data to support it, and no basis.

You also said: "Beating up your elder sister for continually assaulting and insulting you is no crime for me...." Rea-a-ally?? Wow!

It shows the kind of home training, and values that you hold, if you can endorse beating up someone who is older than you. Obviously, things like respect and good manners are far from you.

What a shame...! Thank God, I do not have siblings who think like you!

Young man I have no need to keep bantering words with you...

The most of our parents speech I made has to do with back in the days...
I sense you find it difficult to understand...

When in an argument read or listen to understand not to fight back...

Respect is reciprocal but nonentities like you feel it's a one sided thing because you are older...
So because she is her elder sister she should treat her like less human and get away with it... I can see how dumb your sense of judgment is...

If this is the job your parents did on you then you are a disgrace to them on Nairaland...

You can never have a sibling like me because you and your siblings were not trained to be smart and judge with a good sense of humor...

CeterisXVII:


Whose parents got married at 14? Oga, maybe your own parents did, but mine certainly did NOT. So you cannot speak for everybody's parents.

And for your information, Genevieve's story is freely available on the internet. Google it.

If condemning an evil act, is taking sides in your own view....then I have no apologies for doing so.

Beating up your older sister because she scolds you for your mistakes, and for repeatedly hanging out with the same deadbeat smoker and drunkard, who got you pregnant in the first place, is a sign that you are evil.

If you cannot see that, then it means you support the evil actions of Ifyjos and her weird mentality of entitlement.

Now that she has confessed and has been chased out of her house, please go and offer her accomodation, a pat on the head and a lifetime award for all what she did, since you are in support of her actions. Nansense!

Oga please take census or you can ask your parents...
Most of our parents and grand parents got married so early... 14 years a girl child was already ripe for marriage...
That aside...

Genevieve's story is readily available on the internet as you said do yourself little good by reading it...
So you stop quoting wrongly...
Her life almost got shattered at the age of 17 as a result of pregnancy but her parents accepted her and took care of the child as she continued her education...

Genevieve had issues with the father of her baby may be he denied her showing high level of irresponsibility and that is why Genevieve decided to stay alone even till now...
If he was responsible you think she will leave him...

This young man is not doing well but has shown high level of responsibility by accepting his child and taking care as little as he can...

If she had a good family support then there will be no limit for her...

But because of a bad sister and family who feels her life ended in getting pregnant they are still struggling to survive...

Some one made mention of education in one of the post...

Most of the world know men are either not educated or school dropouts yet they achieved much more than the so called educated and even employ them...
What we should encourage is entrepreneurship spirit amongst our youth and a source for capital...

Beating up your elder sister for continually assaulting and insulting you is no crime for me... Her parents should have talked to the elder sister but because they failed to she had to take laws into her hands...

Is he a dead beat because he smokes and drinks or because he has no money...

If it's former I hope you can tell Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, Lil Wayne, etc the list is endless to their face that they are all dead beats...
I would have said someone's brain is a dead beat but NO I still love you...

CeterisXVII:

Really? Anybody who has a sibling like you needs help. Because it shows that you too can do the same evil act, to your own sister.

Genevieve Nnaji may have had a kid outside wedlock, but her own mistake happened when she was 17.

It is not on record anywhere, that Genevieve exhibited any sense of entitlement.

Neither is it written anywhere that she plotted any evil against her siblings, or she beat them up.

In Genevieve's case, it was said that she had to leave her parents house, and go to stay with an aunt in Lagos.

So please stop comparing apples with cocoyam.

Anyone who has a sibling like you needs to be careful of your evil act for supporting evil...

A 15 and 17 years old child is rated in same age group...

You don't know Genevieve's story so shut up...

"Genevieve Nnaji may have had a kid outside wedlock, but her own mistake happened when she was 17. "

You see the respect in your comment as regards Genevieve, just because she made it in life...

People like you back then talked down on her insulted her and all... But today where are they...

Most of our parents got married at 14...

Please learn to respect everyone equally and not taking sides because your emotions say so...

Do you know the psychological and emotional pains the girl and her boy friend have been through in the hands of the so called sister and family...

I will have to pause here...

Ehibiggirl:
see your life?
You would have killed everything body in the family na abi chairman of anger.
They would have taken custody? did you not read that it’s the sister that is the bread winner of the family?
The girl made her choice and if she was repentant and saw what she did as a mistake she would have been better than where she is now by trying hard to fix it rather than plot evil and pride herself in premarital sex.
You make reference to Genevive did she stay back to defend her mistake at the detriment of her family? Did she not go back to school forgetting about jobless pricks with dirty crowns?
In life you help people who want to be helped, if she really wanted to better herself from the moment she made that mistake she would have her family would have saw to it, her sister would have helped her In Fact she made reference to a cousin the sister is currently setting up a biz for.
Oga talk with wisdom settle down analyze things first before you jump.

MADAM WISDOM

'Her guy takes care of their daughters school fees and all' sense of responsibility... but whenever he doesn't have my sister will assist and she will insult the hell...
I'm sorry to ask but how do you understand and judge things?

There was never a place in this post her elder sister tried to fix her up all she does was remind her of her mistakes...

No good woman will have you insult her husband to her face and keep calm...
But this girl did until her elder sister pushed her so hard...

I still stand my ground her elder sisters actions are wrong...

If I am a family member I will have to tell the elder sister to her face how wrong she was...
You hate the guy just because he is not educated and wealthy...

Least I forget her sister is no bread winner...

I reserve my comment on this.
Go and read the post again in between lines I will reply you then...

CeterisXVII:

Abeg, if na play make you just stop am.

The girl got pregnant at 14, gave birth at 15 which truncated her education, and made nonsense of all their parent's efforts, and the money spent to send her to school.

Did she expect her family or her sister to pat her on the back, applaud her misdemeanor and give her an award, for it? Or was she expecting a chieftaincy title, for her waywardness?

Please, even if she was insulted on a daily basis, she brought it upon herself as she did NOT do anything in 5 years, to improve herself or better her lot.

I repeat: she was NOT justified in anyway, to beat up her sister, especially when that sister has helped to pay her bills, on more than one occasion.

If she did not want to be insulted, then she should NOT have gotten pregnant, in the first place!! Or she could have moved out of the house to live with the boyfriend who impregnated her, after marrying him!

This is no play and I mean every word I type...
She had a baby because she decided to keep it... So many persons throwing stones here have had more than 5 abortion's...

But the society sees who ever keeps hers as a wayward human... I don't see them as such...

She made her mistakes and such mistake should not be rubbed on her face continuously get that...

Genevieve Nnaji had her daughter at same age and Is doing better than a lot of people...

Her family, her mother should have taken custody of the child while she continue with her education but no they want her to carter for the child with her jobless boyfriend and keep insulting them...

They are lucky I am not a member of that family... What nonsense...

Ignoring her future isn't enough, that they had to always insult her...

Her sister deserve exactly what she got...

Ehibiggirl:
sorry I called you a toad Oga. But I can imagine your own relationships with people when you strongly supported a vengeful act after reading what the op had posted. I’m surprised you talk about respect to be honest, if you have gone through all 36 pages of this s thread you would have made a saner comment than instigate the lady to more violence against her family. And yes people view of life are different that’s why we have people who act more responsible than others.

Now we are on same page...
I am not in support of her actions in any way but fair verdict needs to be served...

Something lead to something that lead to the stage of the OP family, while judging u don't just cut from up you cut at all angles...

I try to put my self in the shoes of all the parties involved to be able to know how I will react in each...

Our people say after blaming the person that killed the dead you also blame the dead for prompting what caused it's death...

I hope you learn one thing out of this argument...


Nigerians judge so much with emotions and not logically...
Next time her sister will mind her business...

N/B I have been following this thread from day one...

Ehibiggirl:
you are very irresponsible for supporting this.
Irresponsible toad.

I have seen how irresponsible toad's react for the first time in my life... Thanks for coming through...

Your view about life must not be same as everyone at all time so learn to respect other peoples view if you intend to have a happy relationship with people...

Learn to always present your arguments without insulting people...

CeterisXVII:

Character assassination in what way? The sister scolded her inside their house. So the best way to respond to the so-called character assassination was to launch a physical assault against the sister??

Didn't you read that it was a continuous lash each time she sees the both of them... Who does that? That was way too much... When a man is pushed to the wall for so long the reaction is disastrous...

She got exactly what she wanted...
Make she taste that side of life too...

CeterisXVII:

She arrested them, because they beat her up. In legal circles that is known as assault!

What resulted to the assault?
In legal circles it's known as character assassination...

A lot of people blaming her.

Not mentioning the pain her sister must have caused her and her boy friend.

Some times we humiliate people feeling we are correcting them.

She should taste from her own sauce, why arrest your sister and her husband and keep them for three days. Is that not wickedness.

Anyway the both of you served well

I am sorry if I insult him but I think I have to be truthful.
That man is a wicked man, how can,he abandon the one he clam he loves in such health state when he is supposed to show more of love and care.

That means if you have a viral or terminal illness he will just kill you.
Please just let him be if he feel you deserve to be loved he will come back but if not let him be.

Don't ever let your parents stoop so low begging him. He should be the one looking for your attention, stop picking his calls.
And your parents should not entertain his presence, he should involve his parents.

DanetView:
Hello Guys.
Have been following up a lots of post here.
I need a response to my case.
I applied for admission through an agent early year.

I'm 31,
I apply for fresh BSc in computer science but after a long while. I was told by the agency that the admission came out though isn't what I applied.
They gave me Qualifying Diploma in Business Admin.
They said I should accept and proceed to visa processing.
I had some doubt base on my age if vo will accept it.
The name of the school is University Of Regina.
I verified the admission in school website.
The school gave me 3 resumption session, to resume September which was fall, January winter or May Summer.
I want to know about Age limit and advise if I can proceed for visa.
Thanks

which agency?
This guys are after the money you will pay them and not after the outcome as much as you do.
you also need to be incharge of every information.

This happens occasionally and it's not something you should be worried about. In view of this,
I would suggest you send a CSE to the Kenya (Nairobi) Immigration office via this email - nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca explaining the delayed refusal letter from their office.

The subject of the mail should bear URGENT, along side your FULL NAME, UCI NUMBER, APPLICATION NUMBER AND DATE OF BIRTH.

Also send your enquiry via THE NAIROBI WEB FORM.

Sir Frank,
Please, how long does it take to get a reply from them?
