Family › Re: Can Marrying Someone With Divorced Parents Be An Issue? by Illuminatus(m): 6:59am On Nov 12, 2016

Timbuktuo:
So, men are the cause of divorces? Hahahahhahaha.

It takes two to tango. If both partners are understanding, accommodating and living, the marriage would be like corrosive.

It's not all about the men or the women. It's about compatibility and committement.

Why are they not living with you and your husband? Why do they have to stay with their grandmother?

I regret to tell that citcumstances has started things in their favor when it comes to this issue. They might be seeing you as the person who has come to replace their mother and the enemy.

The first step to treating them right is understanding what they want. Try as much as possible to reasonably do what you can for them, what you must. Have your husband tall to them and make them realize that you aren't the enemy here, that you aren't there to replace their mother. That you love their father just like they do and you seek for everybody to be happy. Talk with them, Have fun with them, show they that you're human too.

You are concerned that she will divorce your sorry ass? Nah! Divorce isn't hereditary. People don't get divorced for the fun of it. People get divorces when they can't take their marriages anymore. If you are a good husband, understand and love your wife, then you wouldn't have to worry about divorce.

Tanx bro for your contribution.... but is it bad to c a girl's face without make up, I never asked of sex, Jst asked to c her real face.... I hv female frnds wu without make up look like very fugly.... moreover I notice her legs lukin like bolle...I Jst wanna b sure Dats all....

Your need to see her makeup might be valid but the manner with which you approached the thing is wrong. You don't ask to see her without makeup on the first 'date'. You establish a level of fondness. You get to see her face when she sleeps over. What she looks like without makeup isn't what you should be concerned about now. Are you compatible? Do you like her as a person and not about she looks?

I haff tire.

Romance › Re: My Mum And My Relationship by Illuminatus(m): 2:54pm On Aug 21, 2016

Have a talk with your mother and calmly ask her why she doesn't want you to marry your girlfriend. Listen to her. See if the reason is valid. If after that you're still convinced that you will marry her, tell your mother so firmly without making it seem like you're defying her or arguing. Make her see that you are happy with this girl and whoever or what she may be, she is the one you have chosen.

Whatever happens, dont let your mother decide who you marry or not. You are the one getting married, not her.

Romance › Re: I Can't Let Go Of This Girl, Pls What Should I Do To Have Her? by Illuminatus(m): 2:51pm On Aug 21, 2016

Have a talk with this girl and tell her than though you like her a lot, you will not put your life on hold for her. Tell her that you think you would have made a good couple. Tell her all the things you could have done for her. Tell her about the future you envisaged for the future.

Then dump her.

There are 170 million people in Nigeria which means that you get at least 50 girls you are compatible with (mathematically). Find one of them, someone you will like just fine and who completes you and be happy. Your life isn't tied to this girl.

Education › Re: Best University For Law by Illuminatus(m): 5:36am On Aug 11, 2016

It depends on your definition of good and where you are based. In the East, University of Nigeria and Enugu State University of Science and Technology are the best (personal opinion) with good facilities, stocked library and lecturers. There's also an active Moot Court and Legal Clinic in the latter.

UI should be good. It isn't the best universtity in Nigeria for nothing.

Health › Re: I Was Recently Diagnosed With The HPV Virus by Illuminatus(m): 5:24am On Aug 11, 2016

I suggest that you also get a HIV teSt done.

The wart might fall off on. Its own with 3 monthS but if before then you notice that its growing or another has appeared, you can get podopholyin cream and aplly directly on the wart twice daily for 3 days. Will be painful.

You will always have HPV. The wart will fall off but another one could grow whenever you are stressed out or your immuNe system is low.

Sorry.

Pretty good book about a seafaring Denmark town,through the good times and bad times.

A confederacy of dunces by John Kennedy O'Toole
Non stop laughter,if you ever try to read this popular work and couldn't get through,try again. Ignatius is a memorable character.

Maskerade by Terry Pratchett.
Nanny and granny goes to the opera and also make up their coven to full strength,hilarity ensues

Dancer's Lament by Esslemont.
Malazan fans will need to check this out. It is the first book in a trilogy
This is before the imperial empire was established
Shadowthrone,dassem and dancer.
Are basically young adults and it tells us how they meet.
They haven't earned those names yet.
I was skeptical about this book but this is a fine addition to the malazan world.

Am going to try Dune and catch-22 sometime very soon it's been on TBR list for awhile.

Jeez, you've become scary!

I think something trumatic recently happened to her. Someone or something had rocked her and she is trying to figure out how to deal with it. I suggest that the person she is closest to in the family talk to her. Make her (don't force) her tell you what the problem is by being there and nice and positive and supportive. Don't be judgmental or harsh. Get the family to cut her some slack. And try getting a professional psychologist if this doesn't work. Good luck.

You have an interesting story idea. The first line told me that much. But you need to polish this. It seems jumbled and too consize. Rephrase some sentences and add a couple more and you'll have a better story.

Phones › Re: How Can I Transfer Contents From My Old Tecno Phone To A New Samsung Device by Illuminatus(m): 10:52am On Aug 03, 2016

Okay. You should start with sending Xender or Flashshare from your old phone to the new one using bluetooth. Install the application and then you can now easily send stuff between the two phones. However, if you do not have Xender of FlashShare, I suggest you download it and install it on the two devices. The application is easy to use and quite fast.

If this doesn't work, then you are going to have to do a manual transfer by copying all your files to a memory card installed on the old phone, then you remove it and copy the files back to your new phone. More of a pain in the ass.

Romance › Re: Being A Soft Guy Would Make Your Girlfriend/Wife Domineering by Illuminatus(m): 2:35pm On Jul 13, 2016

You're kidding, right? You must be. That you're 'soft' doesn't make you less a man. It is also not the reason why your partner is 'domineering' which I don't know what that means. People naturally are encroaching so, build on what they've got. If you're a soft guy and your partner is 'hard' or 'domineering' you don't have to dislike it. Forget what people say about you being a man and being emasculated. If you're happy with the person you're with, that's what matters most. If they have traits you don't like, (like being too domineering) talk to them about it, help and give them time to imrpove bit don't expect them to change.

How much can you hide?

Don't ever forget the saying that you can run but you cannot hide.

I think EFCC is trying to make their job easier by publicizing that information. So if you have something very dirty to hide, you better steer clear on time or else...

Really? Our past leaders have been hiding for years and hell hasn't frozen over. And who's hiding sef? Common leaders who were expressing support for their candidate or pot bellied corrupt politicians that bury money and hide them in rooms?

I don't care what they were thinking. They just made their jobs harder as people are now wiser to their means. I don't think they could find anything incriminating if it was staring back at them.

Bros EFCC aint covert, they have no undercover agents, residency, etc, they fight white collar crimes like money laundering, fraud, bribery, etc...and not crimes like espionage...security experts here in nairaland would understand better.

And isn't that the problem? They have refused to adapt unconventional means to catch culprits. That's why they will know EFCC is coming and won't be caught. Imagine, instead of the spoon-feeding method the commission is on now, if they arrest someone and successfully convict him because they've gotten everything they need with the help of someone undercover?

There should be need for VESTEHEN ( understanding) before you comment on one's post! He said ; "THOSE SUPPORTING GEJ's CORRUPTION PRACTISE!

There should be objectivity in your thinking before you talk. Which ones are the corrupt practices? How did these people support them? And what's that got to do with their work now?

If he was arguing that the checks should be done to see those would condone obvious corrupt acts or take part in them, it would be a different thing. But this one is just political. Next, he's going to say that anyone that voted for PDP in the last election shouldn't be recruited.

Romance › Re: Sex Ñ D Guilt Dat Follows by Illuminatus(m): 8:47pm On Jul 12, 2016

Why do we like maiking things difficult?

You (she) doesn't want to have sex? Its alright. She has to break up with the boy(man)friend and give her life to Jesus afresh. Turn a new leaf. Give up any idea of sex. If any man comes to talk to her about relationship, she should run with such speed as to throw away he shoes. She will stay celibae till the day she marries the man that courted her for probably a year without them meeting or staying in the same apartment alone.

Its either that or she realizes that sex isn't her problem. She is her problem. She needs to decide on what she wants and stick to it. No more saying that she was persuading or tricked or pushed to do stuff.

Nice perspective.
I think you are definitely blinded.

What i find most ironical about her style of write up is thatshe writes in a way that alienates the rest of the world,a style only a naija born can relate to.

And she is particularly fond of "university staff kid life stories"which i can relate to by the way.
But i wonder,how do the international community give her the awards when they can barely relate to her perspective...
That girl juju strong.......lol

How do you read Willams Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, JRR Toikien and co and understand them?

And as an Addendum to the listed criteria above, they should also be asked for their Nairaland Monikers.

All the Goodluck Jonathan's(Corruption) supporters here ,should be screened out.

Those will be the bad eggs inside the EFCC.

You need hep? So people shouldn't have personal opinion and decisions because they want to work in a public commission? What would it be like if Hilary wins the Presidential election in America and says that no Republican showuld be employed? How's that sound?
