FamilyRe: How I Was Scammed By A Babalawo And A Pastor by Godmystrength: 9:18am On Aug 21, 2014
obowunmi: So anyone who knows me here on Nairaland, knows I've been on a mission to find a spouse. Well, it hasn't happened yet. So I decided to enroll the services of (1) a babalawo (2) a pastor to see which worked best.

I willingly gave each 1 million naira. They were both happy and said that they will begin fasting, praying, and appealing to the gods on my behalf for a wife.

Yesterday, the pastor called me to ask for more money. I told him it's been two (2) months since the 1 million naira and that I am yet to find anyone who appeals to me.

Two days prior to yesterday, babalawo called me to say he needs to do more sacrifices and that I should send about 500k.


Right now, I am disappointed and upset at both men. They both have not provided a solution to my issue yet asking for more money. Is it this stressful to find a good woman?

Might I also add that a girl I really liked and had been talking to, suddenly stopped talking to me.

Nairalanders, I am confused and need help. I won't be giving either men any money. All I need is a good woman.
Wake Up. It is morning...

My colleague's phone was ringing and she went out to pick it (MD's office door was closed) only for her to come and call me and was pointing at her phone. My husband was the one on the line.... I just got angry collected the phone and told him in a raised angry voice not to ever call any of my colleagues' phone ever again because i am not teh only married person here and that is not how my colleagues' spouses call my phone. It wasn't that he called my phone and i didn't pick because i came back to check my phone and there was no miss call on it. It is not even 6pm yet...Jeez!!!! I even sent him a text to pls leave me alone..... Now i feel so bad cry. This life sef..... Different people with different characters.... Chai!!!!! Diaris God oooooo.

damselleen: First of all, if I had place sexual satisfaction above all others, I'll never have quitted my relationship with AY. But I'll admit that I wanted it all; A good sex life, a responsible guy, a guy that understand the meaning of commitment. Am I hoping for too much?

For the sake of argument , if with time sex become irrelevant in marriages then why do couple cheat? Why is that more than half of those that will woo a single lady are married men?
question for the gods grin

Phema: Love is Love! Whether na for your phone or colleague's or even your MD own. Bottom line is; he's showing love. tongue

Don't you just feel like killing me
That will be too nice compare to what i feel like doing ooo grin cheesy
FamilyRe: Counselling: Strictly For Couples And Intending Couples! by Godmystrength: 3:30pm On Aug 20, 2014
Phema: Lol. grin

On a serious note, just politely tell him how it's affecting your work and all. I can understand his insecurity (judging from your previous posts) and his need to exert his authority.

Then again, always call/text him just before you go into a meeting and inform him that you will be in a meeting for the next 30, 40mins. That way, he won't have any reasons to call up the whole world looking his Johnny lost wife. grin
I always do o my dear. Just that there are some meetings that are impromptu and there will be no time for calls. Like when the whole dept is summoned to the MD's office and everybody is tensed up. Who has time for text/call by that time? cheesy . Those people he also calls are in my dept and most times, when i am in a meeting, it means WE are all in the meeting. So you can imagine a colleague having to complain that someone was just calling his /her phone all thruough the meeting and that he/she doesn't even know the person and people are like why can't the person call back later only for the colleague's phone to ring and he/she says enhen, this is the same person o. And he picks only for him/her to say xxxxxxx, take the phone, your husband wants to talk to you embarassed

I will try to tell him what Aisha has suggested and if it doesn't work then, i might just find a way to delete the numbers from his phone. (problem will be do i even know all my colleagues that he has their numbers or whether he also has them written somewhere else too or what time do i even have to be going through all the contacts on his phone). I give up jare......
FamilyRe: Counselling: Strictly For Couples And Intending Couples! by Godmystrength: 3:21pm On Aug 20, 2014
DIDIVA: Godismystrength, pls the guy is in love & also feeling insecure at the sametime. Don't shoo him in a harsh way dear cos if u see as other women dey take dance azonto anytime they receive such attention from their hubby, u go go thank God.
But he doesn't have to call me through my colleagues phone in the office to show me love o sad . Let him limit the love to calling MY PHONE.

Somebody is loving you and you are there doing shakara. tongue You think it's easy to get a man that cares about his wife this much? Abi na him fault say you too hot? tonguetongue

I go love ooooooo tongue grin
go away joor grin grin grin i don't want that kind of love jare.
FamilyRe: Counselling: Strictly For Couples And Intending Couples! by Godmystrength: 2:44pm On Aug 20, 2014
aisha2: Tell him politely and calmly to stop before he gets you fired, it is not professional at all. Your colleagues will get talking and you will be shut off from projects because no one wants your husband calling them and asking of you.
Maybe these will make him stop..... Thanks

FamilyRe: Counselling: Strictly For Couples And Intending Couples! by Godmystrength: 2:23pm On Aug 20, 2014
egopersonified: Godmystrength, this guy dey die for u, u dey here dey question am. Hahaha, abeg I cant fit laugh. Maybe u shd try calling him regularly to keep him posted, eg, i just got to the office; i'm on lunch break, any issue; i'm about to go for a meeting, have you eaten; just left the office, on my way home, have you gotten home; etc. But most importantly, as long as he is not having any r/ship with d females and not asking the males for any favours, just talk to him to stop calling them and try picking his calls even when in a meeting. By the way, if I kidnap u, how much your husband go fit pay, so we can just do that once and for all. My own still better pass your own, me I dey 5pm grace, I close by 5, so once it is five fifteen, the calls don start, even on sundays when I go out, once it is five pm, na to start calling when I dey go house even when he is not in town.
lol. grin grin i make all those calls o. sometimes i even go to the extent of updating him busstop after busstop.. grin grin cheesy

The problem is that my new office is something else o. No phone ringing, no receiving calls in the office, no going up and down to make/take calls,no wasting of time on eating.... The MD/CEO is always on our neck like no man's business. He can call you names and embarrass you in public if caught doing any of the above. So once we enter the office, phone enters silence mode ni. He knows all these and that's why i told him to be sending me text. I also send him texts to check on him. Once it is 6pm on dot, my phone becomes a business center from his calls. in fact i just tire. He has even asked me one day whether i have one male colleague's phone number and i said no.(maybe he has gone through my phone and didn't find his name in my contacts)

If you kidnap me, na gobe o. no kobo to pay you. by the time i am almost finishing your food, you will have no choice than to just chase me away.
FamilyRe: Counselling: Strictly For Couples And Intending Couples! by Godmystrength: 2:12pm On Aug 20, 2014
hispinkolo: Haaaaa!Godismystrength,
You need to put up ur pic for us here oo,you must be very hot!
The bobo is just insecure and trying to keep tabs.You know the situation at home and it definitely will be affecting his confidence that's why he's trying hard to exert control on everything .

Relax my sister,you can ask him to stop it as its causing problems for you at work.No need to make it a big issue.

Jolosi de kill me here ooo.Lurv nwantinti cheesy
grin grin grin hot indeed.
The act is embarrasing me jare and i have told him so. Yet he will still do it.

My colleage was asking me how she got her number and i was like maybe he got it on my phone. The next thing she said was that my hubby was just trying to confirn that she is not a man (i.e maybe i saved a man's number with a woman's name). I told him this and he was like he trusts me more than himself.

apart from the embarrasement, my own issue is why does he have to copy it behind my back? why can't he just ask me for the numbers...........mtscheeew

@OP- i don't think it will be a good idea to mention AY's name to your man o (as in ''this is how AY did it for me'')

Insecurity! He only wants to be sure you are where u said u are at every point in time. No be say ur line no dey go cheesy.
If that is the case, then i won't take it as an INSECURITY issue at all. To me it becomes a TRUST issue....

cutiemoi: Lol! He loves you and is just insecure. His mind maybe playing tricks on him.
and what kinda tricks could that be? Why does he have to copy the number behind my back and he doesn't even tell me afterwards until he calls the person?

onegig: God help you then and best wishes. I hope you are not one of those people from the 18th century that believe s.ex is for procreation only?
He sounds so. he is one of them grin grin
mcdreeezy: Sex is not that important except for procreation purposes, it is the couples that choose to make it important or seem like a big deal. If you're talkin about bonding, there are numerous ways couples can bond without sex. Except for procreation, I don't see the importance of sex, it's just somethin pple do for fun and shouldn't be a priority or one of the priorities of marriage

FamilyRe: Counselling: Strictly For Couples And Intending Couples! by Godmystrength: 1:06pm On Aug 20, 2014
I have promised myself not to complain about hubby again but somethings happened/happens and i just want to know if its just a normal thing and whether i am just overreacting.

I noticed sometimes ago that hubby is fond of going through my phones behind my back and copying out some numbers without my knowledge. How do i get to know?
In my former job like 2 years ago, i was in a meeting in the office and one of my colleague that went to the bank came back and told me my hubby called her and was asking about me (where i was). She was now asking how my hubby got her number, i was just surprised and could only mumbled some incoherent answers to her. When i call to ask why he didn't call my own number but chose to call a colleague, he said my line wasn't going through. I asked him why he called, he said he was just checking on me. I also asked how he got her number and that was when he told me he got it from my phone. When i tried to ask why he did that without my knowledge, he just got jumpy and started changing the line of talk asking what does it matter. I was angry and just couldn't understand the reason for that..

Fast forward to last week, i was in the office and about to call my hubby and my colleague's phone rang only for her to pick and tell me my husband wants to talk to me. I just collected the phone and acted cool all through the call. He was just calling to know if i had reach my office. Why didn't he call my phone, he said it wasn't going through. Same thing happened on Monday when we were in a meeting in the office (with the MD/CEO who is a very funny person that can even call you a fool if your phone rings during a meeting - it must even ring to his hearing during office hours oo)and my phone was on vibration and he get calling me and i was ending the call (more than 10times). it wasn't convenient for me to excuse myself to pick his call (i had already told him that whenever he calls my phone for more than twice and i don't pick, he should just send a text). When my phone stopped ringing, my Head of Dept's phone started ringing (he forgot to put his phone on silence) and he was just silencing the calls. He got a lot of missed calls only for him to pick the call after the meeting and told me that my hubby wants to talk to me. embarassedI was so embarrassed because everybody knew when his phone was ringing continuously and they heard him when he said it was my hubby on line. I just calmly told him that i will call him with my phone. When i called, he said he wanted to ask if i had closed and that when i didn't pick, he became worried. i told him he could have sent a text and he was like what if i had been kidnapped? shocked. Asking how he got my oga's number, he said he copied it from my phone. When and why? He got angry........... I am just wondering what this means and have not been able to make sense from it all.

i want sometime to pass before i raise it with him again but just want to know if it is not out of the ordinary. Who does that?

hispinkolo: @mamateniola
We dey wait OOO,hahahahahaha.

Snazzylove,
You don talk am..Nothing to add.


@Icherishu
I totally get where you are coming from.Suffer and smile cos of fear of what people will say.
Make I no lie,I'm good at writing epistles and telling people the good things to do,but I don't practice all of them o.
You can see from my personal experiences that I react in a not nice way for starters and then repent later.
Yesterday hubby irritated me,d bobo was watching TV with his whole soul when I was busy doing 10 things at a time including baby who refused to stay at a place(sometimes I just want to handcuff her to a chair). Next thing he came up to me to hug and kiss his ancestors..I gave him a sharp jab on his stomach and told him how grateful to God I am for giving me a kind,helpful,loving husband(all with a sarcastic smile).He just arranged himself sharply and finished up with the dishes while calling me a wicked woman grin

Loving an unrepentant hurtful person is an uphill task ,I doubt I'm capable.I only do the ones I do cos I feel hubby is a good man and he doesn't hurt me on purpose.I bow for the saintly people who love I spite of everything.(your reward is in heaven).You try for as long as you can mainly because you chose to marry the person. When you give up,no one can blame you.Who is a robot? I will say find a way to make yourself happy eg a hobby,gym,swimming class,Zumba etc while you look up to Jesus to change the offender after all your efforts have failed.

One thing I will NOT allow is for someone to drive me crazy or make me sink into depression for the rest of my life.Imagine developing excess wrinkles on your face.Hoiii!izz not my portion!
This got me rotf grin grin grin grin. Your posts are always funny and soul lifting.

egopersonified: Madan and kingviny, I suggest you both get on the same page, most couples have the same financial issues, dont let this be a barrier to your r/ship. Like aisha said, u both need to communicate and probably kingviny wants to know exactly what u can take care of so he can focus on the others. Madan, pls privately analize your salary and determine what you can put on the table every month without fail. Let k.viny know the amount, then you both can decide to wrap it around some expenses so he can focus on the others. I would advice u both stop posting any replies and just read people's comments before this thread becomes the devourer of your r/ship.
FamilyRe: Cry For Help: Two Weeks To Introduction by Godmystrength: 12:33pm On Aug 20, 2014
mcdreeezy: Ok oh, but I don't think sex should be an issue between couples. There are way more important things in life and marriage than the aforementioned IMO
How can you say this? it is IMPORTANT. In fact, VERY IMPORTANT one of the MOST IMPORTANT except both of you now decide to make it NOT IMPORTANT
