I did not plan to go to college but I was very smart. My friend that I followed Upanda traveled oversea and one of his friends told me to enroll in college and he would even help me to get in without a complete O’level certificate. He got me into YabaTech in 2002. I had a carried over for the final semester of my OND and I decided not to go back again, but I met a guy who lives in Ikorodu and exposed me to SAT. He told me that he would help me out and I could get a scholarship studying in America. I sold the video game and little clothes and gave him the money to help me out. It never turned out well and after going to Ikorodu like 3 or 4 times, I let go the money. But using SAT to travel stuck in my head for good. I had a scholarship in 2006 and the rest is now history. With the way things are very hard now in Nigeria, I have no regrets that what is just for the sons and daughters of the rich folks in Nigeria was achieved by me in 2006.

Like someone said,pay serious attention'I mean serious attention to your mother inlaw,like one elderly man told me'he said if you marry a stubborn wife and your in-laws are good the marriage will last but if your wife is good and the in-laws are bad,it takes d grace of God for that marriage to last,imagine my wife telling me anything she tells her mother that is what her mother will believe.

Two things that happened recently in Bayelsa:

Man A wanted to relocate back to Nsukka, so he started selling his properties and belongings. Meanwhile, his wife was busy planning to “Japa” and he had no idea. Only his first son, who was her favorite, knew about her plans.

The woman took all the money and fled. People thought she was missing, and her family in Nsukka was already giving the man a hard time, say make he find their daughter for them. Months later, when the son she promised to bring over finally reached her by phone, she told him to “face his life” and stopped contacting him. The son then opened up to his dad about what had happened and later committed suicide.

Man B had a wife who was sleeping around like a rabbit. The mumu wouldn’t divorce her. Las las the wife hired people to kill him and kill him they did, they attacked him brutally. The news even made the papers. When the police called the wife to identify her husband she looked at what was left of him and casually said, “Yes, that’s him.” No tears, no emotion. The next thing she asked for was the key to his shop.

A policeman got angry and arrested her as suspect in the man's death, this triggered triggered an investigation. The deeper they went, the worse the story became. Soon, the Igbo chairman was invited by the police and told that some big people wanted the case dropped; and it was.

End of story for the man.

Women kill men all the time, but no one talks about it enough. Read Purple Hibiscus and see other ways they do it and go unpunished. Nigerians rarely bother with autopsies.

As a man, you’ve got to look out for yourself because no one else will. Don't wait until you're sick before you get a proper medical check-up. When they diagnose you with any illness or warn you of something likely to happen, ask the doctor what could have caused it, because some of these people will kill you slowly and then blame it on the life you led as a young man or the alcohol you drank.

We have a case at hand as I type this and he is alive today because someone suggested he stopped eating the wife's food.

I can imagine the mugu that sits in his car for 10minutes before going into his house all because of a bad wife, dancing on his wedding day, shinning his brown teeth and asking his unmarried friends the most foolish question in this current earth today "what are you waiting for?". One fool who asked him that question when I attended his wedding, I had to return home with the envelope I came with and never gave him shishi.

Good evening Nairalanders, few months ago I posted here regarding how my wife forced me into marriage that I wasn't in anyway ready for because she got pregnant. I posted about the regret I'm still battling until date, because the love isn't there from my own end and I'm also not in anyway attracted to her physically. I have told her severally that I want to option out of the marriage and not doing again but until date she has refused to let me go.

Back to the main point, my wife lost her dad this morning. Her deceased dad has two wife's and several concubines that gave birth to lots of children, my wife doesn't know some of her half brothers and sisters.

So I went to their family house this morning to console them. The eldest son of the family (her half brother) told me and another in law that we'd be the one to pay for mortuary expenses and casket, and when the burial is getting closer they'd give us a list of things to buy and we'd both bring one goats each.

To be brutally honest I wasn't mad because of this latest expense, I got furious immediately and right on the spot because of the pressure my wife pressured me into getting married to her, by now I'd have been totally free of these unnecessary expenses. More than 19 of her sisters, both biological and half sisters that has given birth, no single expense was listed for their man that they got pregnant for and has a child for. But I and the other in law that paid dowry are the one going through these unnecessary expenses.

So immediately he told me about everything, I charged at my wife right on the spot, right in front of her mom, her brothers, her sisters and some of her friends that came for condolence visit. I got so furious and started shouting at the top of my voice, I reminded her how she forced me into marriage that I'm not in anyway prepared and ready for, both physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially. (I have been reminding her regarding this almost on a daily basis and whenever we are quarreling.

I reminded her how she threatened me with suicide and our of fear of the unknown I wasted almost 4m in getting married to her. I told her that I'd have been free of these expenses if not for her pressure.

Immediately she burst into tears, and started crying endlessly.

Her mom and sisters started yelling at me and I yelled back at all of them. They told me I met her a Virgin and now she's no longer good for me (truly, the whole family thought that I was the one that took her virginity) My wife and I agreed to keep it a secret, but the constant remainder from her mom and sisters made me let the cat out of the bag, I told them that I didn't met her a Virgin that she has already started having sex when I met her, they didn't believe me but with my tone, I know they'd.

I also made mentioned that I'm not buying any goat or paying for mortuary or taking any list from them. That it's their dad and they should take care of every responsibilities, after all he has uncountable children, why putting some of the expense on me? I walked away, and switched off my phone until now that I'm just putting it on.

I know that I acted wrongly and allowed my anger to get the best part of me. But I was furious because no single bill went to her sister's baby father's, absolutely nothing was listed for them. I got furious because these expenses won't be on me right now if not for her pressuring me into marriage that I want ready for. I was furious because I and the other in law that they billed became the scape goat by doing the right thing by getting married and not leaving theirs daughter In ruins, where as those that got their daughter pregnant without getting married to them were totally free from these unnecessary bills. I'm in so much pains and regret right now.

Speak for yourself and kinsmen. Nigerians are not planning anything against any party. It’s your hatred for the opposite tribe that is making your rebellious as always.
