I don't think you should have a problem with that, he asked you to go see his parents for just the weekend, not even one week and you are complaining? Do you have anything to fear? Is there something you are hiding? Are you African It is normal in some African home for the wife or wife to be to spend sometime with hubby's parent, it is a very good opportunity for you to know the type of family you are going into and it is an opportunity for them to know little about the person that their son will be spending his life with, not all inlaws are bad and wicked, some people's mind have been poison because of what they read online.
Remember there is this saying that you marrying their son means you are marrying into their family, it will not be you and the husband alone,there will be a time when you will need the family.
My advice, clear your mind , refuse to see your potential inlaws as bad, go and enjoy time with them, it is not a big deal and the world won't end because of it.

Happy marriage in Advance.

These days the only thing most women pride themselves with is boobs nd butt, they feel they are doing a guy favour by dating him, they see sex as a commodity offered to men. some even glue to their TV to watch Kim Kardashian and other programmes that will further advance their fakeness in life.

This is true but Sad...

tosin2013:

bros, you fail! no candidate who does not expressly declare his support for the hijab will be voted for!!! and this is no empty threat, there are already lots of underground work going on. if state govt in ekiti can allow hijab easily there is no reason for the stupid from lagos fashola you just wait and see!

That's pathetic of you to call your fellow Muslims(Gov Fashola) stupid because he has refused to allow Hijab in public school, people with extreme view like yours should not be allow to lead.
Do you think governance is all about religious inclination? Is it only Muslims that voted for Fashola or that will vote for the next Governor?
In yorubaland, it is culture before religion and beside, lagos is a cosmopolitan state, I know most muslims that live in the state don't think the way you do, sorry to say,but the way I'm seeing you, you can cause bodily harm to your blood brother because he chose to have a different view from yours.
I am a yoruba man, I have muslims in my immediate family, religion has never been our source of quarrel, that's the Yoruba spirit, go back home and ask questions and stop visiting those Hard line jihadist website, it will save you from yourself.

N:B Don't take my comment personal, it is not meant for you only but for everyone reading, learn tolerance , practice your religion in your House and don't try even in a little to force it on others.

God bless you
God Bless Nigeria.

Story for the gods, Voting is not a compulsory act, it is the power of the electorate, if you chose not to exercise it, good for you, beside the view of this people does not represent the view of most Muslims in Yorubaland. In yorubaland, it is culture first before religion, so they can shout the way the want and it won't still change anything.

From the constitution point of view,remember, any law that's inconsistent with the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria is Null and Void.

LegatusGlaber: Kudos to the military.


But what is monstrous about this tank?

The Tank look like an ERC 90 Sagaie not T55
Everything about that Tank is monstrous,the fire power of that Tank alone is something else, Boko haram are indeed armed with sophisticated Weapon,I know the get most of their weapons as a result of the Civil war in Libya and the then Crisis in Mali.

Some of her function

ERC 90 can be armed with a 90mm F1/F4 canon or Cockerill Mk3 90mm low pressure gun depending upon the turret configuration. Lynx carries 21 rounds of 90mm ammunition and Sagaie carries 20 rounds of ammunition for main gun.
A coaxial 7.62mm machine gun serves as a secondary weapon for the vehicle. The vehicle is also fitted with four smoke grenade launchers.
Self-protection and armour

The vehicle protects the occupants from small arms fire, shell splinters and mines. The V-shaped welded steel structure on the bottom deflects the force of bomb blasts and protects the floor against damage from mines.
The ERC 90 NG features advanced armour protection suitable for present operational requirements. The vehicle is fitted with strengthened armour offering STANAG 4569 level 3 protection over the frontal arc and level 2 protection over other parts of the vehicle.
Engine power

ERC 90 is powered by 170hp MTU diesel engine replacing the older Peugeot V-6 petrol engine. The engine, coupled with an automatic Renk gearbox, delivers a maximum power of 125kW at 2,300rpm. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 95km/h and a range of 800km.
Mobility of the ERC 90 family of vehicles

ERC 90 can be deployed in almost all external operations.
"ERC 90 is a family of 6x6 wheeled armoured vehicles."
It demonstrates superior all-terrain capabilities and has an option to raise the centre pair of wheels to negotiate with different terrain types.
The vehicle is fully amphibious without preparation and is propelled in the water by rear mounted waterjets. ERC 90 is airportable by Transall C-160 and Hercules C-130 aircraft.

Elantracey:

you're right , there's no price tag for love but this is marriage and in this country we're in , the wedding doesn't only involve the parties involved but also the family.

That's why intending couple ought to sitdown and talk to their various parents in polite way.

Mum and Dad,don't push me to go beyond my limit because a Wedding was the talk of town does not mean I must follow his step, because they spent 500k for items on list for Nkechi does not mean my hubby to be ought to do same for me.

Remind both parents that you have a marriage to sustain,weddings ends on the day, but marriage is a continuous process.

Elantracey:


There are weddings that costs more though that is quite on the high side .

You are right,there are weddings that cost more,but there are wedding that cost less or equal.

Love is patient,love does not keep record of wrong, love is pleasant but Love is not Fraud, Love is not sold to the highest bidder,love does not lead two 'ought to be happy couple) into poverty.

Elantracey: Before you start thinking of marriage make sure you're financially ready for it .

Paying 500K or 800k for item on a list to me is a big fraud, that is not being financially ready.

And they refused to create state for people in Kwara south and yoruba speaking people in Kogi state.

Pay half with and if the operation is successful, you can think of paying the rest, but write agreement with the management of the Hospital.


Delicate situation but life is better than money.

Asiko ibo didi ti sumo, ti tori be ni ese ri awon olokada ni ori titi marose.

Oluwa oni gba fun eni ti obafe ba ilu Nigeria je mo wa lowo, e se akiyesi gidi gaan ki eto dibo.

Nigeria a gbewa ooo ... A se.

I am not surprised because none of them want this country to progress, I am not absolving Jonathan and some of his allies of corruption and inept decision making, but the opposition took it too far,they almost made some people hate the fact that they are Nigerian and they also paint not just the government but the entire populace Bad before the international community.

Lastly, Most of them can't eat the humble pie and praise the military hence their silence.
May God continue to disgrace everyone that does not want Nigeria to progress.

Indeed our prayers and actions are not in Vain.

Death is the easiest option.

For real?

All the pictures brought tears out of my eyes all Night, you see picture of true love, Patriotism, Man cruelty to Man.


For those clamouring for war,the end product is not always pleasant.

The wickedness in this world is beyond imagination.

Itsflame: thanks and about the leave is there any possibility that he is on 9 months leave

I don't understand the 'workings' of Oil company,but I don't think there anything like that,except if it is a study leave.

The young man just want to get what he want from you and move on to the next available lady.

I see fraud... He is telling you what is pleasing to the ear but definitely not the truth.

lawrenceunaa: b4 a relationship is termed almost perfect it first do thru hard times , harder times if the patners are still in bond then it is .

Most a relationship go through hard times?

Sicozone: Nice write-up,but is a relationship ever almost perfect?? I doubt it.

Yes, relationships can be almost perfect but not definitely perfect.

DollyParton1:



Why will I wanna discuss my friends and their relationships with my partner. No its none of his business neither is that of his friends mine.

Maybe you are right, I guess the writer suggested this just for the fun of it.

You are on your own if you happen to have one of those crazy and psychotic insecured guys/girls as partner.

I understand that this is a hard one especially if there is Trust issues in the relationship.

I am not a regular poster on Nairaland romance section, but I felt I should share this with Nairalanders.

Things to talk about in a relationship

Conversations between couples have to be fun and yet, illuminating.

And here are a few great things to talk about for couples that can keep the excitement and the love glowing strong.


Things to talk about in all relationships

Irrespective of your relationship status, here are a few conversation tips that can help both of you understand each other and create new exciting conversations that can keep the relationship alive even when it doesn’t involve love and mush.

# Daily individual lives

Talk about each other’s daily events and activities. It can help both of you understand more about each other’s lives. Most couples ignore these conversations and end up drifting away from each other in no time.

# Movies and TV shows

Movies and television shows are perfect conversation makers for all couples. They provide for hours of gossiping and interesting conversations with a fresh perspective every day.

# Crushes and second glances

Do you think someone in your workplace is attractive? Or is someone from the third floor trying to catch your attention by trying to flirt with you? Talk to your partner about it. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but these conversations can actually bring both of you more closer than ever before and even eliminate insecurities.

# Hobbies and interests

Do you like clubbing, painting or playing games? Talk about it with your partner. Our hobbies and interests change all the time, and keeping a lover in the loop will help both of you understand each other’s likes and dislikes better.

# Silent conversations

Silence is a beautiful thing in any relationship. Just being able to sit next to each other without feeling awkward or having to worry about what to talk about is a sign of a perfect relationship already.

But then again, are you both being comfortable with each other or just ignoring each other?


Things to talk about in new relationships

New relationships are more fun and exciting, it’s touchy feely, sexy and doesn’t involve a hint of long term relationship just yet. You may be floating on the bubble of infatuation and everything may just seem perfect. If you want your relationship to stay the same forever, talk about serious issues in a lighter vein and avoid any long term plans unless both of you are definitely serious about the relationship. Here are a few great things to talk about in a new relationship.

# Goals and focus in life

New relationships are exciting and mysterious, but it helps a lot to start understanding each other’s goals and aspirations in life early in the relationship to avoid the pain of being stuck in a relationship with two different goals and ideologies towards life.

# New places to see together

Talking about new places to spend the weekend together can be a lot of fun in a new relationship. Do you have a few favorite hangouts where you like to spend a few hours over the weekend? Or did you just hear about a new restaurant or a movie that you definitely have to check out? Talk about it.

# Gossip about each other’s lives

Talk about either of your friends and their relationships, talk about work and talk about either of your favorite shows on TV. In a new relationship, even the most mundane of conversations can make your partner’s eyes light up. Help both of you understand each other’s friends, interests and everything else with happy gossip.



# Lifestyle and habits

What does your partner like doing over the weekend? How long do they take to dress up for a night out? How long do they spend playing games every evening? What about vacations, family, pets, hobbies, and all the works? Whew, couples in a new relationship have so many exciting things to talk about, don’t they?!

Use these conversations to learn about each other’s lifestyles and interests. It can help judge your compatibility for the long term.

# Past relationships

Past relationships are suspense thrillers in the dating scenario. We want to talk about it, but yet, we’re too scared to talk about it before we feel like the time is right.

Don’t talk about past relationships until you’re a few months into a new relationship, unless of course, it crops up out of the blue into a conversation. Hiding facts about past relationships or revealing them too soon can create insecurities and confusions that could damage a relationship before it’s had the time to create a strong foundation.

#Things to talk about in seasoned long term relationships

Long term relationships are not easy to experience, but if you’ve been past a few years and are still deeply in love with each other, well, kudos to you!

Here are a few things to talk about in a long term relationship that will ensure that both of you still think along the same lines. After all, a perfect long term relationship isn’t defined by two people in love with each other. It is defined by two people who love each other and understand each other more than anyone else in the world.


# Talk about finances

Finances and money issues play a big part in any long term relationship. And monetary satisfaction in a long term relationship can be achieved only if both partners discuss ways to save money, invest money and spend money.

# Your future together and paired goals

One of the satisfying conversations of a long term relationship is the one involving future plans and goals in life. Talk about your dreams and aspirations with your partner and make sure you know your partner’s wants and dreams in life too.

Sometimes we assume we know everything about our partner, but it takes a few conversations and exchange of ideas to truly understand each other instead of making wrong assumptions.

# Vacations and getaways

Vacations are a happy time for every partner. Both of you may work hard all year long and may want to look forward to something exciting and pleasurable to renew the excitement of love and life. Talk about vacations, even if you intend to travel several months later.

Talking about breaks and romantic getaways can fill both of you with a surge of happiness and motivation even if there are a lot of hurdles and pain today.

# Kids and family

Families may seem perfect on the outside, but every one of them has a few cracks that can be a minor annoyance. Discuss about family matters and how either of you can deal with it. Talk about kids and their lives ahead. And if you don’t have kids just yet, talk about when you intend to have them and how you can plan for them. Conversations like these are better spoken earlier than later.

# Intellectual conversations and emotional growth

In a perfect relationship, both partners must be able to predict each other’s thinking and behavior. But it doesn’t end with little odd jobs or happy surprises.

Life is a complex experience that’s as unique as we are. Have intellectual conversations about life, the paths people choose, the hurdles both of you have overcome and mysterious forces that both of you believe in. When you grow emotionally and intellectually as a couple, both of you will come closer to each other, spiritually and intellectually. And if that doesn’t make for a perfect couple, what does?

Kudos to the Nigerian Troops, this type of news is good for morale of the troop... Victory is indeed from God alone.

Join the trend on twitter #VictoryforNigeria

Wow! Any price paid for Education is welcome, I hope the government of the respective countries will look inward and develop the remote part of the country to allow future generation easy access to basic amenities.

These children are the real Heroes.

Most of these companies are fraud, it is just unfortunate that our regulatory agencies are sleepy more than a pregnant woman.

Ordinary Nigerians pay for services with their hard-earned money yet hardly get half the satisfaction from the services they paid for.

Unluvable:

I miss you tooooo.....life happened!

How is everything with you?

Everything is fine...good to have you back.

They (Sahara reporter) have gone one step too far, this not journalism but support for terrorism, I will gladly classify them as enemy of the state, there should be a line between profit and endangering the lives of others.

We should all join hands and boycott Sahara reporters , I wish the government can block their access and charge the owner to court.


It is only in Nigeria that a news outlet tactically support terrorist organisation in the name of Journalism.

Useless Reporters.

Unluvable: A dog named "Leao" sits for a second consecutive day next to the grave of her owner, Cristina Maria Cesario Santana, who died in catastrophic landslides in Brazil

All the pictures on this thread are really thought provoking pictures.

Between,where have you been? I have missed you
