I couldn't resist adding this bonus. For the 'single to stupor' and "love na scam" geng.

This one touched me. In the midst of sorrow, love was cemented.

Bad news sells. A LOT. Which is why most people will click on stories of bad marriages because it reinforces the increasingly popular, albeit demonic worldview that "marriage is outdated."

I am sharing some lovely stories here to encourage the singles that there are still good marriages out there, you just need grace to meet the right person. People don't talk about good marriages, so join me in celebrating these ones I'll be posting here.

Team "You don't owe your parents anything", come and see beta pikin who will continue to enjoy his parents' blessings long after they are no more.

I have been having this argument repeatedly with some peeps who use AI.

they get offended when i tell them it is easy to tell this was not written by a person.

They are being deliberately delusional

alphonsoolajide, see how a proper article is written, not all those boring, regurgitated AI slop you keep on posting on this forum.

Sorry dear, but you should have taken permission before cooking in a public space.

Take note of this next time

Sentiments aside, this is what she should have done and the proper way of doing things.

This name is always messing with my mind. I thought I saw "Amputation Considers Use of Drones..."

Nate Dog is dead??!

That's a surprise

GloriousGbola:

Lmao 🤣🤣

'sparked emotional responses' bawo? At this rate I'm going to stop clicking on any story presented by the EyeofLagos dude

They won't sanitise the healthcare system in the country. Always flying abroad for the slightest ailment.

I really do not have any sympathy for Nigerian political office holders

Ahhhhh
Its working, I didn't say it isn't. I only said we lacked techniques and he is not interested in spicing it up or researching how they do.......didn't I say even my vagina sef is not responding as should be. That i dont feel anything in penetrative sex? I am not here to make him look bad. this is just my realties and looking for way to pass through it while maintain my sanity.
I threw him my pant to sniff, he went to throw large volume of spit / vomit, it killed the mood, I later asked if he doesn't like me or how my pant and the vagina he enters would irritate him so. He told me he always have spit in his mouth...lol...one of those excuse that dont add up, and that I need to know he hasn't sniffed any woman's pant before and all that its only my own and all that talk.
So how do i know if he truly is just not game or doesn't love me hence why my pant would irritate by me. He did mouth action once and was pouring all the spit on me and said I gave him fever blister and he has never tried it again by mistake. So i am d only one without sense to be putting mouth on his prick

My goodness...

The queen, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and General Yakubu Gowon accents seems to be the best.

General Murtala Ramat Mohammed and General Sanni Abacha accent with the "immediate effect" as their trademark tonation

Add Aguiyi-Ironsi to the best.

Happy 30th birthday, Naptu2, Nairaland's Resident Walking Encyclopedia. Send my cakes and doughnuts 🥳😘🥂🎂

We dated, but I think the pressures here are quite different from back home in Nigeria. Back then, we weren’t struggling to survive — we were both doing okay. I had a good job, and he was also working. I was renting my own place, and he had his. We didn’t really live together, but we’d spend evenings together a few times a week.

I had an older friend who usually drove me to work and helped me with errands — things like going to the market and driving me home afterward. So most things were already sorted out in my life. When I saw my husband in the evenings, it was mostly just “How was your day?” and light conversations.

I also had my mum’s house help staying with me at the time (she was continuing her schooling after my mum traveled), so she helped with light meals like rice, indomie, or pap during the week (evenings after work). I usually cooked on weekends when I was fully home — things like swallow and soup, stew, fried rice etc. (any heavy cooking for the week that we would keep in the freezer).

Basically, I was taking care of myself. I didn’t depend on him for money or anything. If he gave, I appreciated it, but I never asked.

Now things are different. Here, we have to really work together to survive — bills don’t wait for anyone. Rent alone is about NGN 1, 400,000 for just a room and bathroom in a shared house where we share kitchen with 3 other people. We are barely surviving, I have so much on my credit card already. So to me, teamwork just makes sense; it should come naturally.

I never imagined being with someone who could see that the only contract job that I am doing, that we are both using to survive which barely covers the rent — and with the contract ending as at then — did not feel moved to do more in our quest to find a better job or even just another job if that contract was never renewed. He slept peacefully every single day. It was share luck it was renewed. Someone quit and left to another company because my boss had told me earlier to start looking for work as she wasn't sure it would be renewed by management. The complacency sometimes kills me.

Sometimes I honestly feel like quitting that job myself just to see what happens or what he would do. Maybe he’d just go to his brother’s place and live with his brother and his wife and then tell me to go to my sister's house in another far location to stay or what? I would just go to her house and help her take care of her kids. I was there before, it was because of him I moved out, put this weight of rent on my head because of marriage feeling we were a team and would work tooth and nail together to figure it out.

But his focus is different, his focus is on who I called, controlling who I talk to, he even makes reference to who I may have had time to speak to at work, things he thinks he heard outside from one or two random people which of Course I would always be the culprit for, not even telling me he loves me, me begging for non-condom sex, he telling me that we are adults who can decide if the relationship would work or not and move on if we know it wont from now so we dont waste our time (though he says he only says that when I say i am tired or if he is leaving everything to me, what's the point of being two when it still feels like its only me), him sleeping peacefully like we have no real problems, reading those junk emails that enter your laptop in large amount everyday, ensuring I dont go for outings etc.

I just know he is waiting for his papers and he tells me when it comes out, I would know how hardworking he is.

I really feel like going out to pay for a lie detector test, i think I researched and it cost about NGN 600,000. I just really want to know if he ever loved me or should I say, if he genuinely loves me or it's a thing of convenience.

Because as I read all the messages here, I tend to remember things that I took casually that may have been strong signals if I was calm enough. I also kind of feel maybe I was a bit desperate maybe. Maybe I should have waited for someone with drive for living and growth. I knew him first in 2017 and when we were coming back together to date, my worry was that it was the same place / state/ level I left him in that he still was when we met again, which I told him was an issue for me. He then told me he did a lot of investments that failed, crypto, uber business where the driver based the car and all.

I know that we all dont have it covered and life is not always easy for us all (it was a bit easier for me back home as compared to here and now), so we are a product of the information we get access to and the people that advise us to go for greatness. So I then felt that if we could work as a team together, share materials that would make us grow, I can sharpen him and he too sharpen me where needed etc. I am just not sure if i am the only one in the team at the moment.

What struck me as I read this post is how it is filled with so many assumptions.

And then this

When I saw my husband in the evenings, it was mostly just “How was your day?” and light conversations.

This is the genesis built on the foundation of assumptions. No serious in-depth conversations, no plans for the future, no profiling, nothing.

The question is what are you going to do to remedy this?

Mariangeles:
After reading all that, I'm left wondering what attracted op to the spouse in the first.

I doubt the authenticity of the story anyways.

Like, seriously, I'm baffled

O ga o. Didn't you people date?! What is the meaning of all these complaints in a new marriage!!?

Nazgul:
To be honest, I still find it difficult to understand Tinubu’s reason for pardoning that woman. It’s not as if she’s a public figure with a large following whose support could somehow influence the 2027 elections. So what exactly motivated that decision?

In most countries, when the death penalty is lifted, it’s usually replaced with life imprisonment or a long-term sentence. That approach ensures the person still pays for their crime while offering a chance at repentance. But to grant a full pardon, wiping the slate clean, feels deeply unfair, especially to the family of the man who was murdered.

I feel that this decision doesn’t send a message of justice or reform. Instead, it feels like a disregard for the pain of the victim’s loved ones and the rule of law itself. Mercy is noble, yes, but it must be balanced with accountability. In this case, it’s hard not to see the pardon as a step in the wrong direction.

You have spoken well and I agree 💯.

Oh my God. I feel for these people. To imagine the kind of pain they are going through.

People were speculating that the two families had come to some kind of agreement behind the scenes, but I just had a very strong feeling that this was not the case, and now this list has confirmed it.

Tinubu goofed on this one

Yes I did na. I was wondering the connection between Ogun state and Bitcoin

Jeezuzpick:
These celebrities are being used to tell our youths that it's okay to have sex and have kids outside of marriage.

Just as they were used to push the divorce narrative a few decades ago, they're now being used to fight against the formation of a family.

Why is this important? Because a complete family unit is still the perfect way to raise a balanced individual. Broken homes and single-parenthood don't cut it.

So, the satanic agenda is, in reality, aimed at giving rise to increasing moral decadence in future generations.

Guess what? It's working.

You couldn't have said it better. This is for the discerning eyes

I thought I saw "Gbenga Daniel Vows To Revive Ijebu East's Bitcoin Project". Phew

This dude again and his endless fables
