Several times, Seun cannot take away my freedom of speech because say naa him create nairaland.

People like us must find a way of draging potential terrorists before they start bombing people wey dey talk for their bathroom, dem go say naa blasphemy against their god.

Useless pipu

Abeg I no wan laugh

AntiChristian:
That's as a result of the continuous promotion of shameless woke videos and cultures both online and offline!

And Muslims are attracted to such!

May we not suffer in the barzakh for this and other crimes! Aameen.

Let's all make amends!

You don't need to be religious to have common sense. Discussing the intimate activities your indulge in with your spouse with outsiders is because of lack of sense, and not because of western culture.

And now I am stuck with this declaration on my profile for the next three days

During my service year, Corper Akeem was bathing in the bathroom ( a public bathroom for us corp members), when Corper Uba and Corper Azeez (a Christian from Kogi state) sneaked to where he hung his towel and removed it.

The only thing poor Corper Akeem, soapy, butt naked and mute, could do was grunt loudly in anger and frustration while his two mischievous fellows laughed merrily outside, waved his towel over their head and dared him to call out their names.

Of course, he wouldn't. He did not want jinn to possess him for having the temerity to talk while in the bathroom. If you talk while bathing, jinn will come at night and beat you to stupor

Warlock. 1989.

A marvelous watch. Enjoyed it, even though the last time I watched it I was a kid.

Ishilove, I wholeheartedly recommend this movie to you. Believe me, you'll enjoy it and have a good laugh.

Thanks, chief. I'll check it out

Two shameless fornicating adults.

She stopped caring for me
Okunrin ọle alapamaṣiṣe. Lazy man, she should be feeding you and still feed your 5 children. Smh.
This is a lesson for every iyawo saara out there. Nothing for you like this woman!

Iyawo polybag

joseph1832:
and who says she doesn't know how to troll. Hehehe

I plead "Not Guilty", Your Josephship 😊😙

This picture, used in the context of this story is just so...sleazy...

This headline...

When I saw the word 'status' on the headline, my brain turned it to 'stature' and then I clicked on the link expecting to see very short wine bottles...

pocohantas:
May they never bring out such words from us, Ishi. 😃😃😃

Lol. All I can say is "FAFO" 😌

pocohantas:
That is how they say the vilest things. Hide their hands and call me the bad person. 😃😃

Wishing such an evil upon a stranger they only know on the internet shows how despicable and baleful they are. If I were in your shoes, I would have multiplied it 7 times sent it back to him.

pocohantas:
From your lips to your loved ones lives.🙏

Does this fellow have beef with you? Those his words are very heavy

Although I won't say I quite believe that charms dropped from 'nowhere', anyone that says charms and sorcery is not real is living in a delusion that may or may not affect them in more terrible ways that can be described.

Naptu2, I hope Skid Ikemefuna knows that 'skid' now has a different meaning in the urban dictionary??

I saw his name and my mind flew to 'skid marks'

I have many things I want to say, but out of respect for my Muslim friends here, I will refrain from saying it.

naptu2:
I am certain that you are referring to Skidd Ikemefuna, it's just that the "glasses" confused me a bit.

Here he is (4 years ago) after surviving an accident.

I guess it is Skid, because the fellow usually wore this MC Hammer type trousers

naptu2:
Now you've got me confused. Mustapha was the one who wore glasses, but if I remember correctly, Skidd was the one who had the catch phrase "hit me, hit me".

This fellow had a deep voice, slicked back hair and wore aviator glasses

No sauce?

DJInfluence:
Nigerians can sometimes come across as unappreciative. It feels pointless to advocate for people who don’t even recognize they need support. How do you explain the initial comments here that fail to grasp the bigger picture and resort to calling this person names.

I concur

What on earth is David going on about?

GloriousGbola:
by the same argument - all he should do is provide the basics. a car is way above the basics

the issue the guy is raising is when the dad was making money and hammering - the children were not a priority. dad is spending money on side chick but telling son no money for birthday. dad is buying new whip and telling pikin to manage old shoes. ironically if the dad had always been struggling, it would likely be the same outcome - the poster would be successful, but he would have no resentment towards him. times were good but sorry son - this dough is for me and chiquita. when you are a man you will understand.

the dad decided that he would do the bare minimum when he had the means to do so much more. the message was clear - busting a nut in some hoochie sidechick was more important to the dad in his prime that a happy child. children are not stupid and they can tell how important they are to you.

my children know that they are my priority and the little rascals even take me for granted because of that . that is one of the most important things you can do for your children - and it is your actions that will show this. if money suddenly comes in and daddy disappears on a binge with a prostitute - i8t says clearly what daddy's priorities are.

the op has progressed not because of his dad, but in spite of his dad.

this is my opinion

Educating your child to the university level is not doing the 'bare minimum'. He did what he was supposed to do as a parent, and that suffices. The father had a lifestyle to maintain and going abroad to study was not in his budget. Did he neglect the OP at any point in time in his lifetime/ Did he fulfill his financial obligation as a father?

YES.

amazinghands:
I appreciate everyone’s comments and suggestions. Just to provide more context: I have only one sibling, and I am of the opinion that he should be able to do more, given how flamboyant he has been with his spending. The main reason I believe he asked for the car is that my mum recently celebrated a lavish birthday (and he likely suspects I was the one who funded it).

When he asked me for the car, I arranged a meeting with him and my brother to discuss his finances (specifically how he manages and collects rent from his properties). Based on what I knew about his financial situation before I left Nigeria, I honestly don’t believe he’s in a bad position. However, he couldn’t give me a clear answer during the conversation and ended up breaking down in tears.

The real issue is that I can only afford to buy one car, and that will undoubtedly go to my mum. I am aware that this decision will likely further strain our relationship.

Why can he not afford to buy even a Nigerian used car, despite having commercial properties? Are the businesses doing well?

Your popsie sef get hin own for body.

Can your mum drive? If no, kindly budget for a driver who will not steal the vehicle or arrange for the woman to be kidnapped. Perhaps you should ask your mum what to do in this situation because the matter is a bit complex.

Klass99:
Will it kill you to grant his request for a car or go above and beyond this once, then never bother with going above and beyond, again? I'm thinking we all make mistakes, we do wrong things, we fall, we get up, we learn, we grow, and we thank God for giving us another chance. None of us is perfect.

You're looking at two instances when popsie didn't come through for you (Ukraine and the US) what about the times he was there? The earlier years of your life you may not recall, like, late nights at the hospital because you were sick, going into debt to pay your fees so you won't be sent away from school, lying, stealing or cheating so he could put food on the table for you to eat, etcetera.

Don't stay focused on the occasions when he didn't come through. Even God who created us and loves us more than our parents, doesn't give us everything we want.

I say all of this as someone who has learnt and is still learning the value of letting things go for the sake of inner joy and peace as well as harmonious relationships with others. My soul feels lighter and happier when I don't hold on to grudges.

They say the best revenge is to succeed and do well. You've done that, so let go of the bitterness, and grudges. Be kind and nice to the man, he won't live forever, none of us will and we take nothing out of this world.

Modified to add: Your father did not significantly harm you in any way. That he refused to send you to obodo, should not cancel all of the good things he did or got right.

You spoke my mind.

Did he feed him? Yes
Clothe him? Yes

Gave him the basics and foundation in life? Yes

Was he neglectful? No

Unless there are other unspoken aspects of their relationship, I don't see why he shouldn't get his father a car and just move on with life. Do you expect the elderly man to be struggling with vehicle problems a this stage of his life? He is being resentful because the dad did not support his ambitions to study abroad, and thanks to the OPs determination, he followed his dreams against all odds and today is a better and stronger person.

The fact that the OP is conflicted about his decision shows there is a still small voice whispering in his heart that the step he is taking is not the right one.

This is just so terribly sad. See what successive bad governments have done to Nigerians.

What kind of soup is this? Coloured water and some stuff floating inside that is supposed to be protein or vegetables.

Jeez. This is shocking

owobokiri:
Though I got that name from Richard Owobokiri, but knowing the Yoruba meaning now, with benefit of hindsight and knowing the bearer here very well, I can only say "the name fits...

Oh really...?

If the name fits, then, he needs Jesus as a matter of urgency

owobokiri:

My dear ishilove,
You have asked me this very question about half a dozen times over the years.. I bet you forgot.. Infact it was even after you asked me about the meaning sometime in the past, that I got to know of the "other dangerous meaning" from some guys here .
You ehnn
Kwantiniu

Busted

I don't know why I keep forgetting.

'owobokiri' means 'he is searching for pusssy upandan' in Yoruba language
