There is a scammer on nairaland deceiving people and collecting money. He claims to sell data bundle and once you send money to him, thats the end. He uses the name lorikanex and phone number 08147337367.
Pls be warned!

Back in my university days, i was preparing for my exams. I went to the salon and the losed my hair but time was not on my side so i decided to comb it up (afro-like) to do it the next day after exams. There was no light so I used a candle to read, I was still reading while dosing off not knowing that the candle was gradually burning my hair till it almost got to the scalp. Before I realised what was happening, half of my hair was completely burnt while the other half was very full.I had to cut my hair but till today, I've not regained that lost hair as my scalp has never been the same

I don't think a woman can get pregnant 2 days to her period EXCEPT! She ovulated twice in a month

@ Braveheart2012, thank you very much. I appreciate your responnse in this regard. The worst is that he can't even go to any family for financial assistance because the dad is late and the mothe® is a struggling widow who even requires care. May God just help me in this situation

Oh, thank you all for your comments. I really appreciate.
He is into various businesses like buying and selling, transport business(i.e, logistics)and general supplies.
I work in an oil and gas as the HR Manager and that is why I have access to loans both from the office and the banks. This problem particularly has not encouraged me to save because he is in need of money for something or the other. Last night, it was argument all through and he couldnt really give me a way forward to our problems. Though he is very hardworking but his efforts do not yield any meaningful result. I'm just so so frustrated right now but I try to make myself happy.Right now, he is in a lot of mess that he is begging me to get a loan to pay up his debts and the rent while he would refund me later. I have been a very good and supportive wife to him but with the way it is now, I'm gradualy getting tired of the marriage. I have this strong feeling that my love for him is beginning to diminish because he cant meet a quarter of his responsibilities.But be keep assuring and re-assuring me that all would be well with time; but for how long can I hang on? May God help me!

Hello nairalanders,
I have thought of whom to talk to but decided to come to this forum to pour out my mind. I have been married for almost 4 years to a man I dated way back in school. He was my first love. We love each other dearly even till this monemt and we have a daughter. I have a very good job with a fantastic pay but he isn't academically sound so he opted for doing his own business since. Money was not really coming forth from his end but I was always there to support him financially. I ensure he dosent lack anything and I also ensure I provide everything for our daughter. I had to collect loan from the office to settle his debts, pay the rent, and settle other bills which he has not been really financially capable to handle. This has continued but recently, I found out this has made me neglect the needs of my immediate family(i.e, my brothers, mum and dad). He is always borrowing money from me to invest in one business or the other which has not yielded any meaningful result. Though I know he is very hardworking and he appreciates all I do but the burden is getting way tooooooooo much for me. I perform my duties a wife and helper and he dosent complain at all. Recently, the landlord has been disturbing him for our rent and he was begging me to get loan from the bank to enable us pay meanwhile, I still have other loans I'm servicing. I got so frstrated that I almost had an accident because of thinking. My problem again is this has affected him so much that he dosent satisfy my sexually again. He woud tell me he dosent feel proud as a man as a result of not meeting up his responsibilites as a father and husband. All this is affecting me and I am getting frustrated. He is saying we should have another baby since our daughter is old enough but I am not considering that because I'm scared. I dont know if I can continue this way and I am frustrated already and feel like running away. Please advise me. What do I do? Advice from those who have been in my shoes would be welcomed; how did you handle it?
Thanks in anticipation

But she said " I am in Markurdi State" for real

My heart feels sorry for these bankers who may have lost their jobs for one reason or another

I sincerely hope Jonathan can handle this country? In the first place, why would the slain boko haram family be paid 100m? Where is it done in the world to pay slain terrorist families? Jonathan should stop hiding some people rather; he should expose them

@ nawfia, you are the dumba$$. The likes of you should be barred from nairaland. Must you say insultive words on this forum? If yo cant contribute meaningfully, get the Bleep out of this forum and face your miserable disgusting life. Idiot!

Hello poster,
I read your post and I must be sincere with you, I feel your pain.
This is Africa and the desire to have a male child cuts across all cultures so don't be deceived. You have every right to think about this considering the fact that you want to keep your man.
For me, my husband and I wanted a girl first and I worked towards it which evenutually worked. A long time ago, an Indian doctor I met gave me the secret and its not difficult at all. As a woman, you have to study your body thoroughly and be observant. You have to take into cognisance of your vaginal discharge and smell as it is extremely important. You also need to take note of some foods you eat as it tends to change the vaginal wall(acidic or alkaline) as this has been proved to influence the sex of the child by 90% and it has worked for some of my friends.
Kindly ignore some advises on nairaland which does not go down well with you;pick the comments you can learn from ok? I wish I had your contact, we would have talked better and I would let you in, into some very simple, yet significant tips that could help you. So sorry I cant put my contact on nairaland but if you can find a way for us to communicate woman to woman, I would be delighted.

This is a true story about Uma Ukpai.
My grandfather who happen to be a clergy once told me that him, Uma Ukpai where on a journer in one of the eastern states of Nigeria when their fuel got finished on the road. Stranded and confused, they all came down from the vehicle thinking of what to do. Suddenly, Uma Ukpai suggested that if any one had water so they had to look for water. He poured it into the fuel tank and asked the driver to continue the journey and the vehicle moved and took them to their destination. They were all shocked and couldnt believe what happen. Usually I dont trust these so called pastors but this man, I can trust him. He dosent talk about money but what is in the bible.
He is for real peeps!

Hmmmmm, Nigerians with food shaaaaaa. Who dosen't like good food anyway?
Its a good idea. An average Nigerian eats chicken wings so you are on the right track. You just have to be different so as to stand out from the likes of Mr. Biggs, Chicken Republic, TFC, and the likes. You'll make it!

@ Stockprong, I have opened the link but still do not see anything convincing enuf. I want a business I can be comfortable with. Dont wanna join any club

Hello Nairalanders!
I have come to think of it that being in paid employment and depending on only salary could be dangerous. My hubby is not really doing anything tangible and as such, I cater for most of the needs in the home with that of my daughter except once in a very long while when there are little stipends from him. I really need to start a business but I'm very confused on what to do and how to do it. Should I go into business and what kind of business? Also, I am looking at starting up with a capital of like N200,000.
Please advise me.
Thank You

@ 5stardude, oh, I see. In ur house abi?

We have been hearing the much talked about Gadhafi and his sons since the uprising started. How about his wives? Did he not marry?

Ohiwonpanmwonyi!
It's actually an Edo name. Came across him when I served in Edo and whenever I looked at that fellow, " long" comes to my mind cos' he was indeed long as his name not tall.

Hello Nairalanders,
Come to think of it, since Gadhafi has lost Libya to its opposition, if Nigeria agrees to give Gadhafi refuge, will Gadhafi gladly accept the offer? and how would Nigerians react?
Candid opinions please

YORUBA PEOPLE I HATE THEM,EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT ETHNIC GROUP IS FORKED,FORKED MEN,FORKED WOMEN,FORKED CHILDREN ,FORKED POLITICIANS


The idiot who poasted this is the biggest fool of allt time

Another lunatic again talking about religion. Why not go to the north to volunteer urself for the boko haram suicide bombings u decendants of Ismael.
Some people are not worth being on nairaland.
Sighs and out of here

a human resource professional!

My point of view and in order or priority:
1. Love
2. Respect
3. Communication
4. Understanding
5. Sex.

I bet you, if the sex is not good, it effects the relationship. Just being factual!

funny enuf, i'm not proud, neither do i nag nor remind him of how i contributed to his success. I jst keep my cool.

Oh thanks high chief. I'm really encouraged by your words. Will try and stick to your advice. He was my first and only boyfriend

Hello fellow nairalanders,
Please I need sincere advise from experienced members. I'm a married woman, young, intelligent and with a very good career. I dated my husband for 8 years before we finally got married. We love each other so much that u'd think we are related. I have had no reason to think he was/is cheating on me. We already have a kid together and we love her dearly. He lost is job and he had no savings. I had to do all that was needful for him to get back on his feet by collecting a loan from the office just for him to be ok. Recently, I observed he doesnt respect me anymore and does not value my opinion on issues. We had a little argument and he raised his hand on me. I felt very bitter becos I know all I have been through because of him just to make him happy. He makes me thinks of going out because I dont get his attention while other guys who admire outside are willing to even spend a minute with me.
Right now, I am in a confused state and sober. I'm thinking of a way to prove to him that without my sincere assistance, he would not be where he is today. I am so much attributable to all his success today yet he doesnt seem to appreciate that fact. Please advise me, how do I deal with this issue?
