I honestly believe your instincts are right about your wife being intentionally wicked. She is most likely aware that much salt will kill your mom a d she went ahead with it. I'm pretty sure that she wouldn't do that to her mom.

Whatever decision you make , be rest assured she can do the same to you if the need arises.

People commenting that you should forgive will most likely NOT forgive if they are in your shoes.

Also, don't try to ask her why or look for closure, cuz that's a window for manipulation which you will regret later because you'll be in more deep shit which will lead to your holding bigger grudges.

Save your mom, and save yourself

For all issues with your network providers, if they don't resolve it after you've complained to them, call NCC on 622, your issues should be resolved

I swear, this isn't on top 30 of the most beautiful secondary schools in Lagos.
It could be Top 10 among state government owned secondary schools thoug, and that's because it's new.
The O.P is exaggerating

...
Your friend doesn't owe them anything. And their act of reporting him should also mean he now owes them no pity. He's not the reason for their predicament. They are not friends nor are they related. Even if they are related, Yòrùbá people say "Àjùmòbí ò kan t'àánu" which means "being born from the same womb is not a reason to pity" ....I guess

So kindly tell your friend to not care what they say at all.

PLUS, they might arrange for him to get robbed or for his house to get burgled any time, so he needs to be fully on guard at all times. If he snooze, he will loose.

@IjapaTiroko oko Yannibo.

Yannibo is busy doing yanga for me

Wow are you a Yoruba teacher or Yoruba Brazilian? I'll love to learn more Yoruba from you

Lol!
I am neither a Yoruba teacher nor Yoruba Brazilian. I'm just a Yoruba person who is in tune with his cultural background.
A rising number of new generation Yorubas know so little about their cultural background. They want to be more American than a Bush, and more British than a Blair. This is one mistake Asian Tigers never made and that's why they are more developed than Sub-Saharan Africa.

Magnoliaa:
WOW. Thank you for sharing this detail! I LOVE learning the etymology of Yoruba words.

The other day, it was Olopa(police) I found out - (one who has a stick).

Your interest gladens me

Olópa more correctly means "One with a baton"; this is because the early colonial police used to walk around with batons in a similar fashion to the way our modern police walk around with AK-47.

There are two types of Àkàrà:

The first type of àkàrà is offered to an Òrìsà. This type is usually bland and not prepared with any sweetening ingredients.
The second one (which is the popular one) is the snack, which you can buy by the roadside or shop like the one in the first picture, hence why it's called "Acaraje" or Àkàra jí je (Translation: The Àkàrà to eat). This type can be made with all sorts of spices and ingredients and is usually taken with ògì or gaàrí among Yòrùbás in West Africa..

PS: Àkàrà means: The thing you count to buy. This is because it's usually sold in units.

Hypocrisy is the most widely practiced religion in Africa.

African will call masquerades "Devil worship"...... whatever that means, but they celebrate Halloween because it's an oyinbo practice

If this cake was don in Africa, to celebrate an African practice, it's still Africans that will condemn it.....and probably say shits like: It signifies eating human parts for rituals etc.

Dweebs!

Life of tranquility is a life without pursuit of money

enlarge the picture to appreciate the beauty of it .

I guess we have different preferences. I'm currently browsing with a tab, so I see the pictures in all their glory. My earlier comment stands

Kwara Kwara ko, Lagos Lagos ni

There's no image of Jesus.
Jesus never took pictures, he wasn't on any painting during his time, nor was he carved on a statue.
Anything people regard as an image of Jesus is an idol that doesn't function.

OmarEl:
Am in Umuahia.
But what if the babalawo Asks me the said Amount?

First, in Umuahia, you'll see a Dibia, NOT a Babalawo. Always note the difference.

Second, tell him you will rather not disclose it. It's NOT mandatory to reveal such things. If the person isn't greedy, he shouldn't probe you too much about it.

Your goal is to get your % not get into more financial woes.

PS: Any amount he tells you to bring, price it down to 10% value. Tell him you seriously can't afford it for now till you get paid, that he should render all he can to help you and stand on this note. The items they will need shouldn't cost too much. I haven't been to Umuahia but the items needed shouldn't exceed 10k naira.

You can try like 3 different places, have them make the inquiry for you, then tell them you will get back to them before you select the one you will go with.

Be wise and shrewd

OmarEl:
Do you know of any?

I know many

If you wish to consult them, it depends on the state you are and your beliefs.

I'm in Lagos for example, and if I were in your shoes, I'll visit a Babalawo to consult if I should ask any of the gods to deal with the man, or ask what I should do to get my percentage.
It's only after a consultation that I will act.

If you wish to go with this route:
1. Visit a priest to consult what you should do to get your % back
2. Do what your consultation recommends

The reason for consultation before action is because you may not know what kind of spiritual fortification the thief may have.

PS:
1. Never disclose the amount to the priest
2. Never appear rich, wealthy or very comfortable

Hope you're comfortable with my explanation?

It has nothing to do with climate, and they aren't different from the rest of we Yòrùbás. It's just a high concentration of people who's skin isn't producing as much melanin as others.

PS: The true colour of one's skin shows on the a$$, vulva, and manhood

OmarEl:
I had this Business Transaction with him. Worth 4500$ . My own % in naira is 1.350M which he has refused to pay me.
He is also threatening ontop of my money

Report him to one of the gods. Tell the god ALL what you want.
That's all

This is why Yòrùbá people say: He who listens to only one side of a story is very wicked.

Thanks to the Aseyin for speaking up.

I blame the poor security system in place that made the V.I.P's turn back

They are words of emphasis in Hausa language.
In YORÙBÁ language, we have "àbí?" "Shèbí?" "Nkó?" Etcetera.

I'm still looking digging for more easily accessible open ssources.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo (also called Penaldo by his critics) truly the greatest of all time in football?

Kaka, Falcao, Torres, Di Maria, Berbatov, Shevchenko, Hazard, Robbie Kane, Sanchez, Coutinho, Crespo.
These are top players whose careers suffered after they moved to a new club.

You know why?
Because moving clubs is not an easy thing. It can make or mar your career.

That's why it's laughable that some Messi fans want us to consider Messi the GOAT when he has played in one club and in one league all his life.

You can only make Egusi, Eba, Jollof rice but you want us to consider you the best chef in Nigeria over someone that can cook all the foods in Nigeria just because you can cook different types of Jollof rice and use Eba to do snake design?
Is that not ment?

Imagine only choosing to play in the Australian Open or only the French Open and you want to be Tennis GOAT. Will they not ask if small ment is worrying you and your fans?

It's only in football that some joker fans want a man that's been hiding in the La Liga and Barca where they've cuddled
him all his life to be considered the GOAT over a man that has won it all in 3 of the top leagues. Ment oooo!

That's how they've been sharing data about how Messi won the highest goal scorer, best player, best assists, best dribbles, MVP and all until you check the COPA America Team of the Tournament and realise that half of those on the list are either not in their club's first team or they play in the US, Chile, or other local South American leagues et al.
But when you see them trying to compare those on the COPA America Team of the tournament to that of EURO just to falsely gas up the Argentine goat, you'll think wow, these stats are medt.

Lórí iró !!
Padded stat !!

You'll be playing against local boys and compare that to those playing in EURO. Has to be ment.
You can stay in one league and in one team, be dribbling everybody and be collecting free Balloon D'or from FIFA and their corrupt officials, but it won't ever make you the GOAT when every time you've played outside of the La Liga and the local COPA, Ronaldo has better international and Champions League goals than you.

You want to be the goat? You gotta step out and play elsewhere.

And don't even give me that bullshit about loyalty or "What-club-should-he&play-for" talk.
Messi has been in Barca for 17 years.
Of those 17, Barca have only won the Champions League 4 times. So, it's not like Barca has been the best club in the
world for the 17 years he's been there. He could have left for anywhere else but we get. Make career no go spoil.

And enough of the "It's Barca that was begging him to leave"
talk.
We know na.
The same way Nigerians are begging Yahaya Bello to run in 2023. Sebi Man Utd did not beg Ronaldo to stay
na?
I mean, Messi's contract with Barca ended and he became a free agent. And what did he do? He accepted pay cut to stay at Barca just so that he won't leave the club and goan cast.

Sha don't mention Messi in the GOAT talk again.
Great player? Yeah.
But GOAT? Gerrarahia!

There's only one GOAT. His name is Cristiano Ronaldo and he's won it
all everywhere.
__________________________________________

I believe that there is no other GOAT in football asides Cristiano Ronaldo.
And I believe that Lionel Messi (Skills Be Upon Him) is his messenger.

Echowas:
Trade and barter still remains the fairest of trade although monetary value makes world economy balanced to a large extent.

Meanwhile peradventure this thread makes Front page, Things are extremely expensive in the country. Families are finding it very hard to cope. Things are very tough out here.

This message is for those in the right quarters, who will make living comfortable for we the ordinary Nigerians.

I see trade by barter as a big headache, especially when what you trade is off season. Let's say you sell plantain for example, what will you eat during the planting season for plantain?
Diversification isn't even easy because resources are limited.

But with digital money, monies are created out of thin air, and this helps trade through savings, financial investments, etc
