Family › Re: I Told My Husband That I Cheated On Him. Now He Wants A Divorce. by greatcrown: 8:35pm On May 11, 2019
Honesty is still the best policy.

Stay strong, it will end well though I can't say when.

Don't follow him to your parents, beg him not to report you to your parents however if he's determined to doing thats ok.

If your parents call later to ask, just tell them you believe your husband won't lie against you and that some things in your opinion are expected to stay within married folks.

Ask them to forgive you for your shortcomings. Ask for their support as things are though emotional.

Be strong the Lord will see you through.

Remember to ask God for forgiveness and healing.
Family › Have You Ever Found Out Your Kid Wasn’t Yours By Getting A Paternity Test? by greatcrown(op): 3:53pm On May 06, 2019
My ex-girlfriend called me to let me know she was pregnant. We got married and not long after the baby was born she walked away and left the baby with me.

Over the years, family would ask me if I was sure she was mine. She looked nothing like me or other members of my family. My daughter has very dark skin. Her mother was never a serious part of her life. On days when her mother was supposed to pick her up and spend time with her, my daughter would get dressed-up and excited and her mom was a “no-show”. I would make up some excuse for her mom not showing up. And on birthdays and Christmas, I would always place a gift under the tree and address it from her mom.

As she got older, her appearance got more defined and had nothing in common with me or my family. Her skin got darker and her lips thicker and her hair curlier. There were always the questions from family and friends and the usual gossip in our hometown.

One day, when she was 15 years old, she sat down next to me as I was working on my laptop. She said “Daddy, may I ask you a question?” I continued what I was doing and simply replied, “Sure, sweetie, what’s on your mind?” She said, “Daddy, would you like me to take a DNA test?” That hit me real hard so I stopped what I was doing, closed my laptop and faced her. I said “Now why exactly would I want you to do something like that?” She answered, “Wouldn’t you want to know for sure if I am your daughter?” She just sat there looking down at the floor while I weighed the question and realized I was walking on a mine field and I had to gather myself and get this right. “Honey, you are my daughter and no DNA test will change that. There is nothing a paternity or DNA test can tell me that will make me think anything else. “

My daughter is grown up now and has many other roles. She is a doctor, a wife, and a mother. But she remains and always will be my daughter.

Education › Re: Covenant University Producing Many Atheists - Students by greatcrown: 9:12am On Apr 27, 2019
HigherEd:
Eh I can't even lie when it comes to this one....


I have never seen a place where people reject religion as hard as the school was trying to push it, like Covenant University.

One of my class mates in 200 level who relocated to University of Waterloo, Canada after having an extra year(academic reasons) told me he was never going to church again. In his words "All of the church I have attended here is enough to cover for my life time." That statement hit me hard!
I only know how many arguments about God's existence I made in that school. And each time most of these Atheist argue I see Christians fleeing. It's like they are more knowledgeable than the average Christian. Which is very unfortunate!

During NYSC days many CU grads refused to affiliate with NCCF because they see it like another version of Covenant University.

With all of the rules and all it was still Covenant University that graduated Etinosa - the one who stripped on live IG.

And this is a lesson to Christians. Christianity must never be forced on people, it always blows back! The inquisition and many other errors of the church are proofs that it never works. Christianity must always be a choice...
I think the problem is the foundation of the children.

The parents failed in their part and they are trying to cover that up by sending the children to CU.
However, I think it's too early to conclude that CU had failed in this regard. What I see now is initial reaction which is expected.
I'm sure over time they will come around, though maybe not all of them.

Family › Re: urg by greatcrown: 2:50pm On Apr 17, 2019
Your husband needs to grow up.

To achieve that, he needs to first of all see himself as a baby that need to grow up very quickly.
He needs to unlearn his old bad habits which were identified in your post and consciously work on himself to acquire new good habits.

He is not the first to find himself in such circumstances so it's not a big issue if he is willing to change.

Let him get some self some help books (Success Through Positive Mental Attitude, THE SUCCESS SYSTEM THAT NEVER FAILS, etc) and attend churches where issues relating to marriage are taught at least once a month.

In-addition the two of you should visit an experienced and certified marriage counselor. (A lot of Pastors are not qualified as one)

That is what we always hear.

Successful businessman my foot.

At the end of the day now, his thieving skills may surpass those before him.

After 8 years he will still want to go senate.

A truly successful businessman should be happy to return to his business after serving the public but not the Nigerian business men turn politicians.

I just hope I'm wrong on this one.

No doubt, time tell.

Well I really don't know how to advise you but let me say this maybe you will find sense in my nonsense.

keep your eyes away from the grade

Since you have started it, please encourage yourself to finish it.

You may not really see the need for it today, but maybe tomorrow the need may arise.

And incase you find no need for the certificate tomorrow, just count it as one of those things.

I wish you all the very best.

The woman committed no crime so no need for pardon.

She should be released, apologised to and compensated without further delay.

He’s really into God from what I can see. He works in the ushering department in church, but I think hes just living a double lifestyle which he can’t let go of, if that makes sense.
He is not living double life.

He is a fraudster who will go to any length to deceive or even kill in order to achieve his aim.

It is choice you have to make but you need know what you Are going into.

Romance › Re: I Sent N500k To My Fiancée To Open A Shop, She Used It To Settle Family Issues by greatcrown: 5:32pm On Nov 12, 2018
I don't really think it's her fault.

Most people irrespective of gender will make similar mistake.

There is every tendency that you too have made wrong financial decision in the past.

Sit with to find out the specific things the money was spent on and see if any amount can be recovered.

Let her realised the lesson to be lent in this situation.

Try and get her another money and tell her it's a loan from bank with 20 to 25% interest per annum.

Open a saving accoun for her for refund which she will not have opportunity of withdrawing from.

This time around the entire cash should not be released.

Release each amount as per what is to be done. Try and follow her to close each phase of the project.

It's a learning curve, every successfull business person pass through one.

Try and help her to overcome this phase.

I see her making a good wife in the future.
Nairaland General › Re: Something Is Generally Wrong With Nigerians!!! by greatcrown: 8:47am On Oct 22, 2018
There is nothing wrong with Nigerians.
Everything highlighted up there is just failed leadership.

In every sane society government will deploy her mercenary to ensure people who are constituting nuisance are adequately punished.

But here in Nigeria, our leaders would rather lament like the OP instead of fixing the problem.


It is so unfortunate that even in your apartment, you could not motivate others to do the right thing.

Anybody can talk about the problem but it will require people of strongly will to come up with solution.

So OP please go back to your house, clean the clogged alternative drainage and encourage those ladies to do same.
Building a stronger and better Nigeria begins with each of us.

Family › Re: Is It A Good Idea If I Build A House Close To My Wife's Family House? by greatcrown: 6:12am On Oct 19, 2018
There are advantages and disadvantages.

You should weigh the options.

First, it has to do with the family. If they are the understanding and matured type they will always respect your privacy and no one will intrude.

Secondly their closeness to the land may safe you some headache during your building construction.

Thirdly while residing in the house your wife will have a more convenient place to send the kids in the event that both of you may need to go places together.

I am not seeing this as the only building you will have and as such in the event situation warrant you moving far in the future then you can always move and do whatever you and your wife decide to do with this building.
Politics › Re: 187 Million Naira Bullet Proof Vest Contract Scam by greatcrown: 5:30pm On Oct 18, 2018
I'm sure you will not rely on China Bulletproof vest for your safety.

I'm just wondering why you will use China standard as a reference.

I think you will do well to find average between highest cost and lowest cost and factor in a reasonable profit margin for the contractor.

You may check this site out and compare price of bulletproof relative to China spec product you posted.

This is nothing but big time fraud/incompetence of people managing NNPC / Nigeria finance for those period.

I think all of them need to be investigated and punishment serve if anyone is found to have compromised.

Kudos to Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom states for intistuting the case and seeing it through.

Investment › Re: Which Bank Is The Best For Fixed Deposit Account by greatcrown: 8:22am On Oct 01, 2018
Olakunle007:
Hello. Happy Independence.
I am a student and have about #300,000 idle in my bank account for almost four months now. I don't think I will need the money anytime soon and I couldn't come up with any business I couldn't invest it in. (maybe the business tycoon here could help me out in that). I'm thinking of opening a fixed deposit amount.

Currently, I'm using GT Bank and Diamond bank, but I wouldn't mind any other bank so far the bank has a better interest rate.

Please recommend banks with good interest rate and tell me the increment percentage, if you have any idea. I'm planning on opening the account tomorrow, as banks won't open today.
I think it's better you put the money in money market fund

check all relevant money market funds daily returns on www.fman.com.ng

opening an account is easy as you don't have to visit the firms. Interest is calculated daily and you can monitor or view your account daily.

Career › Re: Should I Leave My N200k Job For Abroad Job? by greatcrown: 11:12am On Sep 22, 2018
First don't resign your job. Just look for good excuse to be out of your current job for about a month to access situation.
Before traveling for the new job, hold enough cash to fly to Nigeria incase the need arises

Before accepting the offer of the new location, try and negotiate your rotation properly. (Instead of getting 30 days leave after a year, negotiate 2 weeks to 1 months after every 3 months so you can see your parents often).

Moreover with calls and video callings feature you can better stay in touch with your parent and the loneliness will not be as your parents is making you to believe.
You can also consider marrying early to calm your parents nerve. Please choose whom to marry wisely.

Don't throw away the oversee offer however, ensure that the offer is genuine.
This is your chance and that of your parents, don't waste it.

The Lord will grant you understanding in Jesus name, amen.

Did you tell her to inform her mum about your salary?

What effort did her family especially the mother make to get you a higher paying job?


Personally I think some things should stay betwwen couple including intending couple and top on that list is salary.


Even if she was childish enough to inform her mother of your salary; will her childishness also extend to informing you her mum over-bearing attitude?


I think the lady in question needs some growing up and if you have what it takes for her to grow up, good luck to you.
