Is that trumpet?

I tire ooo. This is a saxophone.

Alligators versus crocodiles

Both. I love teaching, and I love marketing. I have been doing both for more than 8 years. Chartered Marketer by training, Teacher by choice.

What if the bride price was paid but returned and yet the bride is handed to the groom's family. Is there a traditional marriage?

Yes, there is. Returning the bride price does not constitute rejection of same, neither does it invalidate the marriage. It is just a gesture by some families indicating that they are not "selling" their daughter. It is neither required nor expected.

trishapal:
You guessed right... How did you know this?

I was at TOSSE 2016 at Oregun. We had a stand. It was nice.

Xensity:
If a woman sees you as less of a man just because you decide to cling to your moral principles of not having sex with a woman you aren't married to, then it says a lot about her, and the kind of person she is.

You haven't indicated through your post, whether or not you are actually in love with her, or whether you want to eventually get married to her, but whichever it is, I don't think a woman's opinion about your manliness, matters at all in the grand scheme of things. Think about this: If eventually she comes to your house and you tell her that you don't want to have sex with her because of your moral principles, what does it matter? What does one person's opinion of you matter? Is her opinion more important than your principles as a man? Are you going to break your moral codes just because of a person's opinion about you? And you aren't even sure she is going to think such about you, so this might be a case of you jumping into conclusion.

On the issue of self control, if you feel that you won't be able to control yourself if she comes to your house, which is going to lead to you doing something you would regret, then the best advice would be to not allow her come to your house.

But to propose a better compromise, I will say this:
I think humans evolved speech for a reason. Every dilemma we are involved in can be resolved by simple conversation. I think you are too old to be worrying about anyone's opinion about you. Whether or not people would misinterpret your gesture as a sign of immorality shouldn't be your concern.
If you want to accept the lady's request of coming to your house and you don't want to engage in any sexual act with her, or not want to face sexual temptation, then the best thing is to engage in an open end discussion with her about this, when she comes to your house. This would make things easier for you.

Now, this is a sensible comment. I think having a chaperone while she is around is also a good idea. What is bad is bad, no matter what people think or say. Premarital sex is bad. It's that simple.

Haa.something that all postgraduate students have on their laptops?
Something i install free almost every week?

If news bits are exhausted, why not tell me they need to install Microsoft Office and Antivirus??

As per your comment, please which software will you recommend for an academic/business researcher, based on your experience?

Eketem:
1. Your emotions and fears are valid don't let anyone downplay it for you or force you to automatically accept this and act happy

2. You have been through a lot with conception so it is a shock to find this out

3. Don't rush into trying to be her mother, even your husband cannot automatically become her father, you guys are just getting to know each other, she has her own mother the best you can do is get to know her as she is and as you are no pretence.

4. Extend the basic decency and fairness in relating to her, don’t be rude or project your insecurity on her. Be calm let whatever relationship you would have with her naturally develop

5. She is coming to meet her father not to snatch your husband or too make her mother marry your husband, you are his wife she is his daughter there is no competition

6. I wish you the best. The worst thing you can do at the point is suppress your hurt and pretend. It would burst one day

I go with this comment. It makes good sense. Op, take one step at a time. No need to rush. Peace be yours.

Nice one! I was once involved in snail farming as an assistant to a family friend. I remember very well that Achatina achatina. How time flies! Must be over ten years ago. I think I'll like to venture into it again. Will add you on WhatsApp.
N.B: Could you please prepare these your thoughts and experiences as a downloadable PDF or MS WORD document? It will be of immense help. God bless you.

Bros, nobody owns you except God. So please do what God who owns you wants you to do. If you read the Bible, reading and prayerfully meditating on the following verses will help. All the advise you need is there: Psalm 36:9; Matthew 6: 14, 15; Galatians 6:5; Colossians 3:23-25. Please ensure you read those verses and also reason on them together with your mom, when she is a bit calm, of course. God's thoughts on how you can proceed are found in those verses. May your peace increase.

Failure.
Failed relationship.
Hardship.
Depression.
Just getting it wrong all the time.

Those are just few of many issues in my life. People see me and maybe even envy my life but they don't know I don't have one ounce of happiness. If there is any form of joy in my life, am sure it doesn't last 1 hour.

The other day, I locked my room and tied a rope to the ceiling, I just couldn't do it, I don't know what's holding me back, maybe my mother's prayer. I tried suffocating myself, it doesn't work. I just wish I can get something quick and quiet that could kill me from my sleep. Life is not worth living anymore.

The other day, I read about a guy jumping from a roof, he escaped death, that would be worst. I don't want that.

Please, what could be wrong with me? Am losing it, am literally a walking ghost. And I can't tell anyone. Is there a quick and painless way to die.?

You really need help. But do you really WANT help? If so, contact your Bible. You can also go to www.JW.org. You will definitely get a lot of help from there. Speaking about learning from other's experiences.

RESEARCH? YEAH, I'LL SURELY LOOK INTO THIS!

SCRABBLEBOARD:
Exceeding
Thanks.
Pity you won't be in Badagry.
We are set to light up Badagry with Scrabble this weekend.

Where in BADAGRY? Any established group there? Scrabble, the game I love! Please add me to the Scrabble group. Check my signature

I THINK THIS ANIMAL IS CALLED "toyu" IN THE GUN (BADAGRY) LANGUAGE. HEARD IT MAKES FISHING BOATS CAPSIZE. THE FAT IS SAID TO BE VERY EFFICACIOUS AS A BALM IN TREATING ORTHOPEDIC INJURIES. IT IS CALLED "ese" IN YORUBA.

By organizers of TOSSE I presume?

Op, what topic/subject did he teach you? I have experienced what you did several times from students I have taught/coached. Humility pays anyday. Never judge a book by its cover.

YOU JUST SAID MY MIND!
quote author=jephito post=49083600]After reading through the post and all the comments, I must confess I am "flabberwhelmed" by the maturity displayed by some (eg, aderola, generalbush, frenchwine, etc) characters here.

Also, I noticed that even after real life lesson the OP learnt and many vows she has made not to "commonise"/underrate people (including mad man), she still displays high level of pride and arrogance.[/quote]

There is a change mentioned at Daniel 2:44. It's definite, inevitable, and coming very soon!

The internet marketplace comprises the good, the bad, and the ugly. Not everything on jiji is a scam. I bought a used laptop from jiji about a year ago and it's still working fine. Don't just be in a rush; ask all the right questions and do your due diligence well. All the best.

Try COLORIDO IMAGERY. Search for him on Instagram. The guy is just good! I have used him for several shoots.

Hermanie:
Did you even read what you posted, because we are already past the deadline

Did you yourself pay attention to the details? I saw September 9, 2016. Today is August 13th.

Hello Victor. You have a Skype message. Please reply.

Application sent, as per your instructions. Kindly check and revert. Thank you.

The kind of ideas/opportunities I like. You'll receive my expression of interest before close of work today. Best wishes

I went there with my blueprint designs for the drone technology i had been working on, one capable of helping the government eradicate every loss from bank robberies, that would perform routine surveillance at delicate areas in the country, a drone that has 3G chip programmed to act intelligently on its own, avoid all obstacles on its own and the best part is they would all be controlled from a base station here in the country.

I had proposed a manufacturing industry that would recoup an income after tax of 16.5 Million naira every month for the first few months of startup and increasing from the first 8 months. A project that needed just 95 million naira as investment in total (Setup, Raw materials, Premises, etc) and all its raw materials are readily coming from the north en masse. Products from this factory would also be in increasing demands for exports and thereby helping its growth, helping the economy, employing more youths and grossing an increasing revenue. It can only get better with it.

I had proposed a technology solution where the government can get stop the leakage of about 199 billion naira annually, which it is helpless completely now to stop. Still they didn't see those ones.

I had proposed another technology solution that would gross millions of dollars in revenues from inwards and other african coiuntries. That is how you become a china of your continent. They didn't see that one too

I took it in good faith thinking since my points weren't good enough, i would get to hear of bigger ideas for the country and for which, would motivate me BUT what i was hearing was...............

Pivot5, are you really serious about your proposed innovation? Pm me; I have met some angel investors who are Nigerians and are looking for viable ideas to sponsor or invest in. I will just give you a brief of what they said they wanted, their contacts, then you can take it from there. All the best.

Op, are you sure this job post is not expired? Please provide the closing date if you can. Many thanks.

Saintzykie:
I hope the individual gets paid

Please, have you had any experience with them? Let us know.

Please good people I need a description on how to locate Egbeda bus top Iyanu Ipaja, from Oshodi thanks.

Egbeda and Iyana Ipaja are not the same. There is nothing like Egbeda bus stop at Iyana Ipaja. You can get both Egbeda AND Iyana Ipaja Ipaja buses at Oshodi, after the bridge, towards Bolade.

LUCIFER SIMPLY MEANS "SHINING ONE", AS STATED IN ISAIAH 14:4, 12. IT DID NOT INITIALLY REFER TO SATAN BUT TO THE KING OF BABYLON. THAT LUCIFER IS SATAN IS A DOCTRINAL ERROR THAT HAS BEEN PASSED ON FOR AGES. A LITTLE RESEARCH WILL HELP. AS FOR THIS BISCUIT, THE MAKERS ARE JUST GOING WITH POPULAR OPINION.

Nice points there. ADDENDUM: For a customary (traditional marriage) to be legally recognized, three things must take place:
I. Payment of the bride price in full (bride price is actually the official amount stipulated by the government, not all those items/fees asked by the in-laws)

II. Acceptance of the bride price by the bride's parents/family

III. Handing over of the bride to the groom's family.

After these conditions have been met, the couple is deemed legally married. However, if the couple wishes to have documentation, they can proceed to the Local Government to obtain a Certificate of Registration of Marriage (Form C). Take note that this Form C is different from the Registrar's Certificate (also labeled Form C) which is issued to those applying to the Marriage Registry to perform a Statutory Marriage.
