I know women who were widowed at a young age, abandoned by the family of their husbands.
These women struggled to bring up children only for these yeye husband's family to come and collect everything on bridal list and even bride price.
My mum is one of such women. Na 5 can malt and five tubers of yam reach her.
Meanwhile a family friend of mine, also widowed, collected and chopped her daughter's bride price alone, nothing do the woman.
You see ehn, sometimes I begin to question some Africa belief or should I say tradition. The Father to an African girl child died and the father's family flew for more than 20yrs no support, no advise, no words of encouragement. The young girl and the mother managed to survive and God doing it, she met a man she like to spend the rest of her life with. Boom! the father's family up from nowhere, even telling the husband what to bring in other for the marriage to commence. Is that not wickedness? You dey always talk about this bride price thing, that your mum paid all the sacrifices but then they just gave her the ice on the cake lol..... sorry about that.
Juliusmalema: Visit any psychiatric hospital and get your cure..
I don't waste time on rubbish.
Although the way the other man sound is too harsh. Sometimes we need not say every person you saw stealing actually stole. Let us take the case of the Yoruba warlord Igboho for example, Mr Igboho was not ok or satisfy with the way Fulani is killing her mothers so he stood up with a voice for his people and put a stop to those killing her mothers. Now some will say he is fighting for his pocket others will say he is fighting for his region. That's how it is, For me, Mr Tompolo fought a good fight for his people and his region. Fighting for what's yours to me is a good fight whether you lose or gain. Try your best to visit a place called KOKORI in Delta State, a place that sometimes has the best crude oil in Nigeria. You won't believe your eyes. If tomorrow someone rise up from that area to fight for what belongs to him and his people what do you call such a person.
philanthropic: Some may say, once you are born again, you are totally free from everything or problem, no deliverance is needed..
But that is not totally true? Why? You have seen born again Christians with one issue or the other, such as attacks, repeated sicknesses, marital delays, oppressions etc.
It's true. I believe, being born again gives you the access to deal with certain issues of life through Christ. Please what is your own view? And if you feel am wrong, hope you have never had any issues in you life that required deliverance.
As a "Born again" one need to pray everyday to be free DELIVER from this fallen world.
FishLaps: "You're a mistake" Princess Shyngle announces her marriage to her "best friend" of 10 years is over after a few weeks
Actress, Princess Shyngle took to Instagram to allege that her husband, Gibril Bala Gaye, physically abused her as she announces her marriage is over after a few weeks.
She came online to make the revelation after her husband went on Instagram live to tell the world that his wife locked him out of the house after a little disagreement about 8 weeks ago and he hasn't seen her for 7 weeks. He added that she's in New York doing "her thing".
Princess Shyngle said she had no intention to bring her marital woes online but since her estranged husband was already giving the impression she's a bad woman who left her husband for 7 weeks, she has to come out with her truth.
In an Instagram live video, she told the world that her marriage has been shaky for over 8 weeks. She said her husband was violent and "put hands" on her so she decided to divorce him[color=#000000].[/color]
"Youre a fu*king mistake. I've divorced your as* so leave me the f*ck alone," she wrote.
Only weeks ago, Princess Shyngle announced she's married to her best friend who she's crushed on since 8th grade and has been best friends with for over 10 years (read here). Now, she says she has no idea he was violent.
Audios she shared as 'proof,' show someone admitting to laying his hands on her.
9 weeks ago, on January 30 precisely, Shyngle announced she is married. Going by her revelation on her Instagram live that the domestic violence incident happened 8 weeks ago, leading to their separation and then divorce, it means their marriage lasted only one week or thereabout.
Shyngle also shared a photo of herself and wrote in the caption, "Having a good time with the true love of my life #myself &$$$$"
I just had to say this. What did you do that will make a man pulled a gun on you? what did you do that will make a man beat you up like a baby? A woman always wanting to claim right by force in a marriage setting will always receive punishment. You must be humble.
Rocktation: Eyaaa..ndo. It is a sexual misconduct and the perpetrator should be told off. But since you let it slide this time with the excuse of an exam, endeavour to avoid all scenarios that might see a repeat of such or worse still, an upgrade to a gross moral turpitude....
Because that is how they start. Testing Testing and fiamm, they launch a rapid surprise attack.
You last words make me laugh "Surprise and attack" you made me remembered the book surprise and attack. Anyways, To the young lady that was abuse physically/sexually am so sorry, be very watchful because na few people well for the society.
AsherAmari: Yeah. I understand the need to be prudent and plan for the future but then again all im trying to say is, eventualities occur therefore we should not put all our hopes on earthly riches and Investments which has the tendency to vanish in one swoop.
When lock down happened, the whole world felt it despite the myriad of investments all over.
When global meltdown down happened in 2008, all investment companies folded up as a result of the Bearish market. I know a few investment house CEOs who died as a result of the irredeemable loss. My own chairman, ( former DG of Central bank I won't mention his name here) slumped in his office and was flown abroad. Till now the stock market has not had a rebound. So what are we not saying?
We're those not investments?
What will happen will happen. All these shouldn't make one to forget to plan for tomorrow. Eventualities is certain. So because of the unknown will should live in fear all our lives. NO! it's a free world.
BigShishi: A man plans a surprise to porpose to his girlfriend.. He hired a band and some of his friends and family escort him only to catch his girlfriend having sex and from the eindow you can see her giving mouth action ... They are speaking spanish..
AsherAmari: Do you know how youll will end up in old age?
Wealth can fly away in the twinkle of an eye.
King Nebuchadnezzar lost everything in one day. Job a very wealthy man in his time lost everything in one day. So don't think anyone cannot go broke at anytime. It's not by amassing wealth but the Grace and mercies of God that sustains everyone.
My dear, what Mr Reno is trying to say is the way our actors come online to showcase their riches. Don't forget it's Grace that will make you think of investing your money. The story of Job and Neb is a different case entirely. Don't pose rich today while tomorrow you cry. Have you ever wondered why our actors feel abandoned in old age?
Mikester: Though we have some exceptions, formal education isn't always a guarantee for success especially in a country like Nigeria in this fast changing world.
Apparently, a large number of people especially in Nigeria believe that all the problems of life is only solved in the classroom which is an extremely poor way of reasoning as we have a lot of graduates who spent quality years of their lives at school with nothing solid to show for it except for knowledge of facts and figures and maybe by grace, a mediocre job.
Most graduates with good degrees are painfully left without jobs and some who managed to find one end up with low paying jobs given the circumstances, some even get employed by people who never attained the level of education they have.
Another obvious thing is that when most students graduate, they graduate at ages society deem old enough to settle and be financially independent such as ages between 27 - 35 - ages that seem like a bad and delayed start for life establishment especially as a man.
I mean if a guy graduates at such age,
At when will he get a job? When then will he be financially stable? When will he have enough to build a home? When will he have enough to cater for a family? Won't it most likely translate to perpetual poverty if he closes his eyes and starts a family?
And if a lady graduates at such age?
At when will she be financially independent if it is her desire? When will she settle, will she dump her certificate and start to seek for a man as the recent demonstration of most ladies have shown?
And why will someone especially a random guy despite seeing all that is happening in the country choose to underestimate early skill acquisition and business learning and choose to spend his adulthood gaining more facts just to come out hustling like a drop out?
Personally, I disagree with the belief that ONLY higher education is a guarantee for success in terms of money making especially in a country like Nigeria where there are scarcity of jobs for most courses being taught in schools.
Higher education though is good, useful and efficacious, isn't an assurance for financial stability and time is crucial for everyone especially the ambitious and smart people who value it and won't choose to venture into anything they deem unproductive or likely to have less chances of success.
Better to use the early years to learn a lucrative skill or business and put it into use before the late ages than to spend a long period of time in the classroom only to come out to start hustling like a drop out.
My opinion isn't for everyone though as some people still make it through formal education but I'm just being realistic.
Out of every 200 graduates, about 20 only end up with better paying jobs, mostly based on connections. We see it in our hood everyday. Quite a issue to consider by someone who intends to start life and turn out successfully in due time.
I believe that formal education like every other form of education is just a plus to our knowledge while self education and discovery is what guarantees how far we will go in terms of money making.
Those who made fortunes today did so out of self discovery and not necessarily formal education.
Let us discover what suits us best so as not to burn our fingers later on.
I mean what do you think?
People will type all sorts of motivation here, if you go close to them you can't do what they do. I have said it before, the Nigeria system SCHOOL won't tell how to make money but how to read historical facts. As a Nigeria student pls learn something. Being financially stable is a step ahead. God bless you for this good observation.
Romanoff: The fear is, the police in town behave better cause they don't know who is who.
So you're likely to get better treatment there.
If not the Nigeria mentality, we shouldn't see people the way they are, instead the law should interpret everything. if guilty the law punish and if not let the person go.
Romanoff: He should get himself a good lawyer and both of them should go to a police station to report the death. (They should go to police station in a city, no be all those village police station o, police men in the city are a bit more civil than the local ones).
longjohnodu: oga relax we no say life no too balance..try to dey catch small small cruise..no take Nigeria mata too serious..atleast there is one lesson learnt for the fuel attendant that not all cars used fuel..
Na everything you wan take catch Cruise? Na him be the first person to drive that car. There are things you don't know now, it won't be funny if someone use that against you just to make others laugh at you. There are things you know that I don't know now and there are things I know you don't know now. Now should I laugh at you because of what you don't know? NO, it shouldn't be so.
MALIGNANTGuest: That's exactly what BLACKS are known for. We keep embarrassing ourselves everywhere. I stopped attending CHURCHES abroad filled wit Nigerians, because dsame Attitude of ours traveled wit us. Nigerian Churches abroad is about "SHOW OFF". Go to CAUCASIAN dominated Churches you will see no single whiteman has your time. We are indeed wonderfully made.
Some Blacks sir and not all. Have you ever thought of "Thanksgiving service" that's the day some people dressed well and before you know it, it turned into competition right inside the church. what then do I think of, I just go there undermining whatever you put on. I'm there to worship my maker, listen to right words for my spirit.
[quote author=pocohantas post=100570484][/quote]Some Black people will always be black people. na you be the first to drive electric car? So for him mind he was trying to fool those fuel attendants? walahi, the reverse is the case oh Lol.... keep disgracing yourself.
obembet: Dating people takes a lot of time, work and patience. But, there are some people who have bad habits that so annoying, we cannot overlook them. No matter how much time goes on and how patient we are, we can’t change everyone.
Therefore, I believe that lot of us have refused to date someone because of petty reasons...
Let us hear your reaosns...
Am afraid to love again because of what happened in my first relationship. How can you be taking calls everyday in my presence and if I asked who was that she will say it's my younger brother, Ehn.... your younger brother always on the phone with you at about 9:30pm. At the end it didn't work out fine. I cook for her almost everytime because she is not that good in cooking still she messed up. I don't want to involve myself.
needanswer: Tough questions about relationships, can you answer it. The rules are simple. Whatever options you picked in scenario one, you must pick in scenario two, you can't switch, so are you ready?
Scenario 1
Let's imagine you are married to a woman you love. You get along fine with her and your family. One day in your absence she gets into a verbal exchange with your mother while you are at work.
She calls to inform you before you return so you can have her back cause you are her husband. So as you get home, you wife is outside to welcome you and lead you inside, your mom is waiting for you patiently in the living room, as soon as you walk in she begins to call out your wife in your presence while your wife nudges at you to confront her on her behalf, what will you do?
(A) confront your mom and defend your wife as a lover boy?
(B) side with your mom as a mommy's boy?
(C) become the CONFUSED FELLOW and try to BEG EVERYONE like you were the cause of the fight and be seen as a weak man?
(D) rebuke everyone including your mother and wife and become the NEW VILLAIN as the disrespectful man?
(E) Ignore everyone and be termed disrespectful and insensitive, as the heartless man?
(F) Try to know who is wrong in the situation and BLAME THAT PARTY ALONE, and be seen as A JUDGE and not a CARING SON or LOVING HUSBAND?
Scenario 2.
You have been married to your husband, who has been such a blessing. One day you go to the market and before you can come back your husband calls you on the phone and started complaining bitterly about the heated argument he and your father just had at your back and that it is still on going. You quickly rush home. At the door your husband is waiting for you, in the dining room your dad is waiting for you also. And as soon as you walk in with your husband he begins to tackle him again in your presence, while your husband nudges at you to confront him on his behalf, what will you do?
(A)confront your dad and defend your husband as a lover girl?
(B) side with your dad as a daddy's girl?
(C) become the CONFUSED FELLOW and try to BEG EVERYONE like you were the cause of the fight?
(D) rebuke everyone including your dad and husband and become the NEW VILLAIN?
(E) Ignore everyone and be termed disrespectful and insensitive?
(F) Try to know who is wrong in the situation and BLAME THAT PARTY ALONE, even if it's your husband or father?
Seun Rocktation
C. meanwhile I will still call them separately to know who was wrong, then from there we iron things as one big family.

When she finally grows up and someone sat her down to give her the history of this country especially buhari regime or maybe what happened while she was a kid, she might place a curse upon that person that gave her the cardboard, at that time she won't care if it was the Father, uncle or mother that gave it to her.
it just done on me that our white brothers are our problem too. Can't they tell the president to go fix his own hospitals. The money dey sweet dem to accept.
