Hi.

Honestly speaking am really worried, have dated my fiance for sometime now. So we finally decided to tie the knot.
She suggested we do it this year November and I concurred, so we've been saving towards it ever since.

Last 2 months I made my intentions known to her family, that I will like to marry their daughter. Due to the conversations I had With her parents, I told them I wanted it small.. because am not financialy buoyant.

But To my surprise, her dad said I shouldn't worry about it, they are going to support me ( which is most likely Normal)

(They gave me traditional rite's, which I sorted out by myself)

With the traditional right drawing close, last month I learnt from my fiancee..her parents are planning to buy 2 cow for the traditional and white wedding. (I was surprised)

The following week, the hall she choosed for the reception of the white wedding, has already been paid for by her dad which was about 500k excluding the decorations which they also took care of ( even though I opted we could have done the reception in the church)

But my fiancee told me her dad is inviting alot of well-wishers home and abroad to come celebrate with us.both his fellow staffs and all.

* I bought 2 bag of rice and groundnut oils

* We paid for the cakes

* We paid for drinks

* We sorted things out (invitation cards, pre shoot photos)

But was surprised 2 days to the traditional marriage, more expensive drinks were rolling in.

On the d day of the white wedding, I realised, they cooked more than 8 bags of rice ( coconut, jollof, banga and fried) meats were surplused.
Alot of people came from her family's, while my own families were just there.. they did get the message.

Someone even said it to my mom face. THAT THIS GIRL PAPA TRY O.

please, I don't want to sound like am a bad person or I don't know good.
Offcus I appreciate her parents efforts, but am just a little bit worried.

As a man, won't this come to haunt me in the future?

/

She get younger or elder sister?

Asking for a friend.

Hello nairalanders.

I will not call the name of my church for some reasons, but my church is that type that dosn't have a parmanent pastor.

So, we always have a new pastor almost every four or five years.

Recently, a new pastor was transfered to us, this my new pastor is very good when it comes to preaching the word of God, and things that helps in the development of a church.. infact, so many good things have been going 'on' in my church since his arrival.

But the problem is that, he is that kind of pastor with swag, He goes to beer parlour to drink, he can go to gathering to play draft, (imaging the kind of people u see in a beer parlour of draft gathering), and because of this things he does, some people (expecially other churches) use it against us the members..

People we be like, una pastor wey dey drink beer.. And we don't even know how we can deffend him or ourself when we are being attacked by these people..

We are currently loosing members on a daily basis, and i'm not happy with it.

/

Don't blame the pastor.

Una problem too much for one man.

/

I only saw a draft of an agreement. Sandra's signature of agreement is not on the document.

It might not be a scam. Some people trade forex for a few months, have some good returns and then claim to be experts. With investors' funds, they become over-leveraged and get margin-called. It happens all the time.

Only those in the business will understand.

An Igbo Nigerian wedding expenses list, was posted online on Twitter. It was trailed with different comments from different people. While some saw it as an appropriate list, others saw it as unnecessarily expensive.

What are your opinions Nairalanders?

1st Pic: The actual marriage, Bride price list

This cannot be the full list. It must be page 1 of x pages.
Just the father-in-law and mother-in-law? Nothing for the family, kindred, umuada, youths?

Iyaebe:
Well deserved.Look at how the wife is taking care of him at old age,it's simply because he was good and kind to his wife, men please be good and kind to your wife if you wish and want to enjoy your old age.

So by mere Public Display of Affection, you could tell when a wife is taking appropriate care of her husband? Do you live with them?
Nawao for some of you people.

Wish him well and move on.

I met this beautiful damsel around 2012,we got admission into same institution same year....

We dated from 2012-2016,,,,

During service we parted ways and met again 2018 but ended up becoming friends with benefits....

By 2019 distance(different states) kept us apart due to life plans.....

And we don't have each others contacts again

So i was chatting with my elder brother this morning and he told me about his fiancee, i asked for her picture... Lo and behold she was my ex and friend with benefits.....


Now there is no way she will know that we are related except on their wedding day coming up next year if i attend.....

I don't know whether to tell him or just let them be

/
In life....

I told you so == good friend

I would have told you == bad friend.

Call your brother aside and tell him. He is your brother. If he decides to go ahead with the marriage, it is their problem then afterall it is one huge coincidence. But at least you did your part. Take the burden off your mind.

/

/
What kind of a factory-fitted slowpoke will do traditional and church wedding? If Nigeria were to be a serious nation, she should have petitioned that her traditional marriage be recognized everywhere.

/

/
She is beautiful.

She has the means to take care of you through runs.

What else can I say?

Help Me! I'm Fed Up

I've been dating my girlfriend for about 3 years now and she has been a good woman through and through. I've met her parents and we're discussing on the next step. She has been supportive, responsible and caring despite our tribal difference.

However, the problem I'm having with her is that when she's angry she tends to use foul languages and curses on me which I don't like. She end up apologizing after the ranting but I'm tired of going over this. Please how can I deal with this attitude of hers?

I need honest contributions to this thread.

/
I don't see any cause for alarm.

Mortuaries need more people like you to stay in business.

Omicron007:
According to data from UNICEF, every two minutes, a child under five dies of malaria. Many of these deaths are preventable and treatable. In 2019, there were 229 million malaria cases globally that led to 409,000 deaths. Of these deaths, 67 per cent (274,000) were children under 5 years of age. This translates into a daily toll of nearly 750 children under age 5.

Malaria is an urgent public health priority. The disease and the costs of its treatment trap families in a cycle of illness, suffering and poverty. Today, nearly half of the world’s population, most of whom live in sub-Saharan Africa, are at risk for developing malaria and facing its economic challenges.

Sleeping under insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) on a regular basis is one of the most effective ways to prevent malaria transmission and reduce malaria related deaths.

However, some people still find it difficult to sleep under Mosquito Nets. Some say it causes heat while others have different reasons.

Do you sleep under an insecticide-treated Mosquito Net?
Let's hear from you.

Mosquito nets are for females, SIMPs and girlie-men.

What's next? A man with an umbrella under the sun to avoid sunburn.

Fellows,

A quick one
One of my friends celebrated her birthday recently.
I was lost in thoughts over what to buy for her.
So I surfed the internet and I saw a lot of suggestions.

I ended up getting a flower for her. I ordered the flower on an online flower shop and it was delivered to me.

On her birthday, I took the flower and went to her place. I presented it to her during the little birthday bash she organised.

To my utmost surprise, she and her friends looked at me with contempt. She was not happy I got the flower. It was glaring on her face.

---

I have seen a lot of movies where flowers are presented to girls and they are very happy.

Why is it that some Nigerian girls don't value the gift of flowers?

I spent NGN 7,500 to get the flower!

/
Imagine if you had given her N5k.

You would have saved yourself some trouble.

/

/
It is arithmetically possible.

Voters were 200,000 out of 2m registered voters which represented only 10% turn out.

So Andy Uba should be happy to have 43,000 votes out of his 200,000 supporters. That's an impressive 21%.

/

/
All the goodwill he once enjoyed gradually evaporating?

Why sound desperate and delusional?

/

/
He asked INEC to conduct a fresh election and threatened that otherwise there won’t be peace in Anambra State. Hmmm.

Anambra state is not Nkerehi where he wanted to reign supreme. Final final the new Commissioner of Works will say that his much touted medical facility was built on a drainage channel and some bulldozers will show up.

To chase him back to US is as easy as ABC. He better thread carefully. He should talk to Dr. Kpaduwa of IMO State. He was chased out and vowed never to return to Nigeria again. So Dr Maduka is a small case. Who knows? Maybe Alex still sees some signs of residual cash that need to be obtained from the maga.

Dainy1:
Honestly, I don't understand this. Is this an act of hypocriacy or what truth are they really hiding from us?
They claimed marriage is not important, not for everyone, that you can stay single and be having children outside wedlock, so long as you can take care of them. Yet, they go about talking you down as soon as you're of age and have no wife/husband.

A girlfriend of mine in her late thirties just declared she's getting married and everyone is sharing her up, sending her congratulatory messages as if she has not been existing.

Does marriage really worth that hyping or what's so special about it that civilization is hiding from us?

/

Imagine having goods in the shop and nobody come price your market.

That's how single ladies feel. It is like total rejection from humanity.

/

/

How many jobs in Nigeria require special skills?

Unless "special" has a different meaning.

/

optionalY09:
I don’t think these people are interested in helping us solve the problem they’ll only look at how the USA can benefit from all these trouble and since “one Nigeria provides an unending opportunity for the West to mink out resources for free. It would be in there interest to keep Nigeria one

/

You expect them to help you solve your man-made problems while at the same time clamouring for equality of all races. What is the African brain for? Just for looting, sex and pleasure?

God is good because homeowner insurance will pay for it. Otherwise he would have been too distraught to know the location of his Bible.

Don't try this in Nigeria.

I guess the Uba family in Uga failed to realize how much baggage the family name carries in Anambra. They can get away with rigging in a Senatorial election but their is no love for them in Anambra in general. The days of OBJ are still fresh in people's memories.

Andy Uba was so sure of victory that he only campaigned publicly just two weeks to the election.

/

/
Election is over in Anambra state.

So they should draft those 34000 security personnel to the North, if they are serious.

Otherwise, let them stop disturbing our peace.

Sai Baba!

fotadmowmend:
This isn't election......... How will just about 112000 people decide for over 3 million people? There was low turn out yet it took 3 days to complete the process

/

That's why IPOB cancelled the "No election" propaganda.

Out of 3 million people, if 1000 accredited voters vote, they will announce the results like that. APC created mayhem in Anambra to scare voters. It backfired because it turned up the heat and attention on Anambra thus demobilizing their rigging machines.

KosiGee:
Orumba people didn’t abandon him. He is just a novice and a man that loves his ego massaged.

He got his ‘praises’ and I think that’s his reward. Except he has got some ulterior motives, he should congratulate Soludo and wait for his time.

Orumba and Aguata is one. It’s same people, tradition and way of life…Soludo is from Isuofia, not far from Nanka and Oko, neighbours with Victor Umeh’s Aguluzoigbo, Igboukwu and Ekwulobia.
Chidozie of Wichteck is from Oko
Uba Andy us from Uga, Maduka is Nkerehi or Umuchukwu…They are all brothers. It’d be hard not to vote a well known Soludo for someone like Maduka.

Uga, Ekwulobia, Oko people abandoned Uba and Chidozie Nwankwo for Soludo.

I would’ve voted Soludo if I was there. I’m sure everyone in my family would’ve voted him.

Btw lots of people are suspicious of Maduka. They see him as another Rochas Okorocha…and when you hear the name Rochas…people would pray or exclaim…Ozo emena. God forbid.

/

Known or unknown, he could have upset Soludo if he came prepared. Many people gave him the benefits of doubt including my humble self. But after listening to him talk and answer questions in interviews about the election, it dawned on many that he is as clueless as it can get. It is as if he descended from a different planet.

When he started comparing Nkerehi with Dubai, claiming that he brought $500m investment in Anambra, promising to build 21 satellite campuses for a university that is barely functional and the worst, the inability to express and articulate his plans for ndi Anambra; a lot of people gave up on him.

Angelfrost:
Congrats to Prof. Soludo! May Anambra continue on upward trajectory of greatness under your seasoned leadership.

Hopefully, the very same judiciary you have lauded will not turn around and pull off another Hope Stunt.

Meanwhile, who come vote for Dr. Maduka??!

/
Dr. Maduka has learned that the appellation "Okosisi of Orumba" is just mere title used to massage his ego. Orumba people abandoned him when he needs them the most. Like the popular saying, "salutation is not love". Even those who publicly endorsed him for pittance failed to vote for him.

He comes through as someone who will go to a traditional wedding and believe that the ogene musicians are in love with him. No triple professor. They will continue singing praises as long as you continue spraying money. Once the spraying stops, they move to the next big man. That's Nigeria for you.

Social media users described the descending piece of white cloth as one of the wonders of the generation but our investigations reveal a straightforward truth.

And these are the kind of people that Daddy Freeze is wasting his time trying to convince to stop paying tithes?

A smart hustler within the vicinity could had claimed that he fell from the sky with the clothes and miracle-peddling church don set be that.

A group of people will be nurturing and maintaining a party. Then in the eve of an election, someone in the opposition will decamp and be featured as the candidate for the party. Is it me or does anyone else see how this could breed anarchy cum distrust within a party? It is unfair to the party loyalists. But then, Nigeria is the country of absurdity.

/

/
Once you get your boarding pass and start heading to the security gates, just know that you are entering a “Beggars’ kingdom”. It is very embarrassing and annoying. One would think that none of them receives salaries. Nigeria is in a sorry state.

I guess it took that one video from that oyibo traveler to embarrass the management into pretentious action. I believe that they are all in on the racket.
