According to Yoruba culture, it’s not unheard of. Just that they cannot marry each other because it’s assumed that they are both of the same mother. |

Family / Re: Am I Doing The Right Thing by irijuola: 4:48pm On Apr 01, 2023 |
Mrlance15: Don’t be depressed. Just see this year as the year you’ll have a final impact on their lives. Let me share the story of my dad’s family with you so that you can learn a lesson from it. It goes thus: My dad’s younger brother married and things took a downward turn for him. In my own opinion, I think the wife married him cos she felt he had a rich elder brother. My dad was responsible for a lot of financial help towards him. But things didn’t really take a good turn still. When my dad was close to retirement, he bought him a cab, spent so much on the cab to put it in perfect condition, close to 1 M. My dad told him, I’m close to retirement and I want you to take care of this cab so that it will yield for you. He took the cab and used it recklessly without servicing it or even saving from it. After some months, the cab developed numerous faults. One day my dad saw him inside a public transport and asked him about the cab. The man said it’s spoilt. My dad told him to repair it from savings he made while using it. Alas, no savings. My dad stepped in again and repair this cab close to 200K. He started using the cab. Do you know one day, he came to my Mum’s shop and when he came, my dad asked him about the cab. The man said it’s at the vulcanizer that he’ll be going back for it. It was later he confessed that he needed money to buy tires. My dad told him to get a loan by himself and repair it. I’m sure he was surprised. This same man wanted my dad to carry all the cost for his daughter’s wedding even after my dad had retired. My dad just ignored him and gave him some funds as his own contribution. The worst thing is that during any occasion in my family, this man and his family will come, ordinary agege bread, he has never given to us. My dad’s retirement came, his friends and coworkers gave him gifts, his brother as usual brought nothing. So I still stick with what I said, use this year to invest in them and withdraw massively starting from next year. Start preparing to move out so that by Jan 2024 you are already elsewhere. You have your life to live. You would have done your best. Then, you can send occasional stipend till you are established and overflowing. Also, if it’s possible, get a government job like security for your brother using his SSCE. May God bless you. |
Family / Re: Am I Doing The Right Thing by irijuola: 4:15pm On Apr 01, 2023 |
I’m so sorry you’re in this plight. Okay. My advice is that you need to make some life decisions henceforth. Let’s say, you see this year as the last year you’ll slave away for your family. What do I mean. (1) Send your brother to driving school and let him get the driving licence. Then, get a cab ( like korope) or maybe even a salon car for Uber. Pay some down payment and put the remaining on hire purchase. (If you’re able to pay at once, it’s also good). If it’s hire purchase, let the instalment be in your brother’s name so he can remit the agreed amount as at when due. You and your mum can be the the required guarantor. Your brother’s case is settled. P.s: After doing this, you are absolved of all further responsibilities over him. This has to be done asap cos if he’s your elder bro, he’ll want to have a family or maybe someone might even get pregnant for him. This will indirectly be your burden. So act fast. (2) Your mum had a supermarket so she really won’t want to do any “downtrodden” work. I pray God will bless you abundantly and enlarge your coast. If you live in a residential area, you can get her a grinding machine for pepper and buy freezer for her to sell ice blocks. Guess she might need a generator too. At least for a start. Later, you can open a shop for her to sell frozen food or even gas cylinder filling shop. Whatever you decide. Another thing she can do is to o poop en a daycare/crèche for a daily/weekly/monthly amount. Concerning the rent, I pray God’s blessing over the works of your hands. God will marvel you with riches so that you can purchase a land and built a house for her. For your dad, just assume you are on your own and ignore him As I said, this is just for this year. See it as your final great sacrifice. Then, move out next year and invest in your life and plan for the future. |

Religion / Re: I Need God's Divine Direction For My Life! by irijuola: 4:58am On Feb 14, 2023 |
My father has the gift of prophecy. God will send him to several people and he became a known Chanel of God in my church. People started telling him that God wants him to start his own ministry. My dad’s answer to them is that God didn’t tell him to start a church, what God told him is that he should bring his children in His ways. That was the ministry God told him to work in. So, if Gods doesn’t give you sure signs, don’t branch into ministry. When God gives you a sure sign, then you can approach another minister for confirmation. So, getting called into ministry does not necessarily equate to establishing your own church. It could mean joining a department in the church, maybe youth, children, prayer, etc. By the way, going to prayer mountain is just to zone out noises and the encumbrances of life in order to bring more concentration. So, if your house is free from distractions, stay there and pray. My church is TAC, The Apostolic church. You can locate a district center of any branch and ask to see the district prophet for counselling. Don’t give up! If Joseph gave up in Potiphar‘a house, he would have been an ordinary head servant. If he forces the cup bearer to help him, he would have been a servant in the palace. Just hold on. Many things about tomorrow we don’t understand but we have to trust on the one who knows tomorrow as he’s got our best interest at heart. Please pray using Psalm 77 especially verse 10. Say “O Lord, I appeal to the power of your right hand and remember me. I pray for God’s light to shed on your life in Jesus name. Please, don’t be discouraged. Everyone, I mean, everyone of us, will have to pass through something at one point of our life. Hold on, God is sending help in Jesus name. Amen. |
Family / Re: How Do I Politely Ask Her To Leave by irijuola: 6:44pm On Feb 13, 2023 |
sync: She believes you are from a rich background and does not need her input to get the house running. I’m sure she knows your elder sister sends you money and she believes she doesn’t need to contribute anything. I won’t even be surprised if she even call the sis to thank her or even make requests jokingly. Whatever it is, it’s all shades of wrong. Sit her down and talk to her. Tell her nicely and friendly that she asked for two months and she’s on the fifth month now. What’s her plan? Then proceed to tell her that you didn’t disturb her or ask her for any contribution because you wanted her to save enough to rent her own place. Then tell her you believe she’s ready now to get her own place by next month. Then tell her start to searching for the house and in the meantime, you’ll advise her to start buying stuffs she’ll need to stock the house. Then, you start suggesting house appliances. Afterwards, await her response. If she says, she hasn’t saved enough, then she’s a sly person. Tell her she should borrow from friends and family cos you are expecting your mum or any imaginary person. By the way, lower your expectations o. Cos this life, people, especially entitled people or parasitic people, when they lose their ‘source’, they usually forget all the goods ever done to them and then proceed to spoil the person’s reputation in the worst way. So, strengthen your heart and expect the worst 19 Likes |

Sheriffiq: Hello! Congratulations! Learning Cisco will get you remote jobs though I’m not sure of how easy that will be. For the others, welding and forklift operator, you can’t automatically work without getting Canadian licenses. For the forklift, I think you’ll need G-driver licence. You can only get this if you bring like around 5years(not sure) of driving experience from Nigeria. If not, you’ll have to start with G1, then after like 8-12months, you’ll get G2 and then after some months/years, you’ll get G. It’s not like Nigeria. You’ll need licences to work in welding or as forklift operator. So, if you have the driving experience, you can go for the forklift. My friend did the job when he was in school. Instead of the minimum wage Walmart job ($15), he got $22 as a forklift operator. It was even a cash job so sometimes he did close to 40hours per week. Some skills you can easily use here are barbing, plumbing (if yo s add the very good), ……… |

emmaodet: I don’t have the right to meddle in your family issues but I just have a some advice if you don’t mind. I have a sister like your brother who still behaves like a baby at 23years. I know she isn’t as old as your brother but what I’ve come to realize is that they’ve grown up to see us as their blood sibling who will protect them against all odds. Please, if you have funds to send him to the USA, UK or Canada, please do. UAE that you’re judging as paying him 150,000 is maybe too stressful. Another mistake is trying to convert their currency to naira. He’s not spending in naira and I’m very sure the real amount in UAE currency is not much. We don’t know stress in Nigeria o. All this abroad countries, you sweat out all the wages you’re paid. Circumstances do change and him going to any of this three countries may bring a massive turnaround in his life. A quick question, does he have a degree? If he does, let him also try applying for jobs in places like Canada. A friend of mine moved from Dubai to Canada last year after getting a job offer in Kitchener, Ontario. |

Personally, I think the most important thing to consider is “Do you see him as someone you can submit to?” Can you respect him? Cos even if he’s showing you all the love now and you eventually agree to marry him, he’s rightfully entitled to respect. If you feel you can’t submit to him, please don’t marry him 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Some questions should not even be asked at all. This is one of them. If you want to help, help with a clear mind. For you to even contemplate shows that you are not a good person and the help wasn’t from a good mind. You’re the kind of person the yorubas call ‘Asoore jokoti”. Now, you’re feeling like a god. Allowing her to come is you taking advantage of them/her. Immediately you saw the message, you should have replied and tell her “Thanks, don’t bother”. 2 Likes |
Health / Help! Wisdom Tooth Pains!!! by irijuola: 10:17am On Jul 01, 2022 |
I woke up with pains in my wisdom tooth on Monday of lastweek. I booked appointment with the dental clinic and I got an appointment for Wednesday. When I got to the clinic, the doctor started examination but the pain disappeared. She wanted to do X-ray but thought against it when I felt no pain again. To cut the long story short, the pain came back and was so bad. It was mainly at the left lower wisdom tooth. On Friday, my mouth became swollen and by Saturday, my teeth wouldn’t open and the pain is so great. I went back to the dentist and I was prescribed penicillin and naproxen which I’ve been taking. Today is the fifth day and the swelling is not reducing. I’ll be going back to the clinic today but just to hear from anyone who’s had similar experience with locked jaw, Please help me !!! The pain is too much |

I had a very scary dream. I entered into a place , and I saw leopard skins scattered on the ground. It was so scary. Then as I was moving on, I encountered a leopard making its way over to attack me. Then, I saw a shed and ran inside. It pursued me and I succeeded in closing the door albeit slightly opened. The shed was like a long passage and I saw that the other end was opened. I ran to close the door but alas, the leopard was already there. I think they were now two. Then, I saw a broom and I was using it to scare them away. That was when I awoke. |
