Kraspo: But that’s the truth. Africans downplay the importance of sex in marriages. Good sex should not be compromised in the choice of one’s life partner. Good sex has a way of calming your nerves after a stressful day at work. Attention needs to placed in this aspect of our lives. You will get tired of it very soon that way |

I contacted a seller on Facebook for a Camry muscle that I liked and was willing to buy.
I took a painter and not a mechanic for inspection and yet I paid 2.95m for v6 car. As a first timer,I couldn’t differentiate between a v6 and v4 and the painter didn’t tell me much about these things before I choked my head into it.
Las las, I spent another 3m plus from feb till April for upgrade and change of engine as the previous engine got knocked on my way to Abeokuta.
If I had known, I would have just built an hostel jejely then.
The car keeps taking a minimum of #10k fuel from me every week as its fuel consumption rate is high even after all I have done.
Now,the car is okay as I have upgraded it to Belgium state and only the weekly fuel consumption is constant.

I think you mean to say They're few but in truth, they're not struggling at all.

with the level of "over familiarity" involved in marriage,
how do u guys still maintain the honour and regard for each other despite having seen n known everything there is to see n know about your partner...
You know how people can be most times, they start behaving funny when they finally get settled comfortably with you,

🤥🤥🤥 It doesn't apply to everyone. Let God guide your decisions to get married. For me, i love my wife far more now that i have lived with her than before. I thank God everyday for her. I don't joke with her and i can make sacrifices for her. Treat women well. Be kind. Be respectful and you will get the part of them you don't see on the internet or movies |

If he can't drive, let him go and learn how to drive instead of the bus conductor thing and then you guys will work out my first advice above once he is through learning.
There is money in transportation business and that can change his life for good even though he appears to be unambitious. I really feel sad because i understand it.

Travel › Re: Disadvantages Of Living Abroad Or Obodo Oyinbo by Greenfaces: 6:36pm On May 10, 2023 |
Hamachi: What are the pros and cons of living abroad? It depends if you are moving for financial or non financial reasons, and how long you move for.
If you are moving for a short period of time when you are young, there are seldom many negatives.
Few people regret studying abroad for a year, doing an internship or a gap year.
When it comes to longer-term assignments, financial considerations are important for most people.
The major positives associated with moving abroad are
If you work for a multi-national, there are sometimes bigger packages abroad, especially in frontier markets due to hardship allowances. For instance, if you are an oil & gas engineer working in Canada or Norway, you are likely to be paid more if you move to Nigeria or Myanmar on a two-year contract. For business owners, the world markets are always a bigger opportunity than just only focusing on the local market. Whilst it is true that you can target people online successfully, a stint overseas will teach you about other cultures, give you fresh ideas and so on. New languages and skills will help you if you move back to your home country If you are high-net-worth you can save a lot on taxes if you move to certain countries, and do the right planning
The main negatives are
In your home country you get back ended benefits. In low-tax countries overseas, you get front ended benefits. What do I mean by that? In your home country, you might feel you are being weighed down by the taxes. However, you get back some of that money when you get old or are sick as per the graph below:
In comparison, if you have more money from lower taxes, you get front ended benefits. This can be great, but only if you are self-disciplined enough to save and invest more.
However, plenty of people in low taxes countries like the UAE and Singapore don’t do that, as many studies have shown Career wise, you will be behind your peer back home, if you don’t use your time overseas wisely. What are the pros and cons of teaching abroad? What are the advantages or disadvantages of living and working abroad? What are the pros and cons of moving back to your home country after living abroad? What are the pros and cons of living in your country?
What are the pros and cons of moving abroad, and where are some good places to live? Let´s start with the cons to get that out of the way first
1. The more countries you have lived in, the more you loose a sense of belonging (at least I feel that way). I have lived in 9 different ones and although I have of course great memories and part of my heart is in all of them, I feel I belong nowhere and certainly not in my home country anymore either.
After so many years I crave a sense of belonging, a base to call home (even if it just means to be there a couple of months a year), friends I do not have to say goodbye to every few months or years. And no, to stay in touch on Social Media is not the same at all, I personally create bonding through shared experiences and not by living in past memories.
2. If you move a lot and you know you will not be in a place for a very long time, you wonder if it makes sense to emotionally invest in relationships and friendships and I think sometimes relationship become more superficial because building them takes time and commitment and you know you will leave again and who wants heart breaks.
3. Depending on your age group, aging parents back home suddenly become a concern. One is far away and cannot just jump in a plane and is home in one hour. A sense of guilt sets in even if your loved ones give you no reason to feel guilt and its only in your head. And you also realize time becomes more precious and one is far away.
4. When you get home you realize your friends are more or less still the same, they have aged too, might have created a family, changed jobs, etc. but essentially they are still the same. You on the other hand have changed, its unavoidable. Your horizons have widened and you might not have that much in common with old friends anymore. There is a sense of loss and sadness.
5. Depending on where you are abroad, romantic relationships can take a back seat. If an independent western single women in her late twenties or thirties comes for example to Asia with the hope to not only find professional opportunities and adventures but also a partner to create a family with, I would say, think twice, your choices will be limited, but that is a topic for a different question.
6. The longer you are in a certain region the more difficult it will be to go back to your home country if you ever want to return, because your skills and experiences will become more bankable in your new country than in your home country. If your business is online it’s a different story of course.
7. Loneliness can also be an issue. If you do not consider yourself the love of your life and enjoy time alone too, you will struggle, because it is unavoidable that there will be moments when you will be alone, especially if you just arrive in a new place. And when you get sick its also not exactly fun.
8. Constantly having to let go is sad, at least for me. I do not like to let go of things, people, places that entered my heart, but sometimes life changes and there is nothing you can do about it.
In many places (such as Singapore, Dubai for example) people are in transit, they stay for a couple of years and then they move on, you might loose a job and the work permit that goes with it and the list goes on. If you have no plan B, the stress level rises.
9. You feel often disconnected if you do not speak the local language, but might also not live there long enough to really fluently communicate. Some languages especially for westerns are just not so easy to learn (thai is one of them).
The frustration you feel when you start learning a new language and can only express yourself like a 2 year old in the body and with the mind of a grown up person.
10.
Personally I also feel sometimes alone, when there is nobody who shares a certain sense of humor. Humor is often very different and culture specific. I can laugh my head off about certain things or situations and my colleagues just look at me and wonder what that is all about.
And they laugh about certain things and I cannot see what is funny about it either. Laughing is also about bonding with people, so I can say sometimes I miss bonding over a shared sense of humor.
Now that we are done with some of the cons, lets talk about the wonderful pros.
1. You change for the better
2. You become more tolerant
3. You become a better Ambassador of your home country when you return. I swear, whenever I return home, I am particularly friendly to anybody who is foreign, I feel so connected because I am a foreigner in other countries too, so I want them to feel welcome and leave with good memories.
4. Once you have lived abroad, this place will never ever be just a dot on the map. It will penetrate your memory, it will become part of your history, if you disliked your experience or loved it does not matter, it will never leave you indifferent anymore.
5. You develop courage and learn how to overcome obstacles
6. You learn to rely on yourself
7. You realize that essentially all people in the world are the same, we are just shaped by different education, background, beliefs, etc. but we all want to be respected, loved, heard and acknowledged.
8. You become more flexible (you just have to)
9. You age slower, because whenever you learn or see something new it feels the days are much longer and more intense. Every day is a new adventure and there is less routine.
10. Everywhere I go there is something I love and I weave it into my personality to take it with me. It is like as I go along, I create a more interesting and better version of myself (at least I think that, but that is a good start).
11. You learn to judge less and listen more.
12. You will feel more emotionally connected to the world. Great analysis. The part you wrote about horizon changes and having nothing in common any more with old friends and congenial particularly struck a chord. I do notice that once my friends leave the country for a while, i get distanced from them. Now my concern is that the same rule is about to happen with my siblings. I can now do without them and they without me even for a life time |

Hamachi: Start mending the bridge. Start by calling once a week Sending sms every festive period and news month you can't call people who do not even reply the message you send them. People who blocked you on WhatsApp and Facebook on the day you wished them happy birthday. Or the ones who didn't even care to congratulate you on your wedding and on the day your wife put to bed. Calling them once a week will be disturbance to them especially when they have reasons to feel their wealth and success is the motivation for you to come kneeling before them |
