Romance / Re: London Babe Thrown Out Of Husband's House by IyaBasira: 3:09pm On Sep 17, 2010 |
Oh God please spare me the crap. Its City People and that mag will type ANYTHING. I feel disgusted that she had to go and sleep with a PAKISTANI (she has terrible taste) despite the fact that she was married, but assuming that this is true, she didn't get pregnant for herself though! Saying stuff like "Mobo444 could be right in all the balls he has been typing all this time" is not really fair to girls like me who truly despise such actions. |
Romance / Re: I Helped Her Out! So What? by IyaBasira: 2:46pm On Sep 17, 2010 |
@Poster ; Ask your girlfriend this question. Is it every dog that barks that u must pay attention to? Why do people like listening to their stupid friends and the things they say? And you also need to start thinking about the type of people you let into your house. People like that are the type that can tell your gf that you are cheating on her when you are not and BOOM! Armageddon has begun. You did a very nice thing which shows you care about her. But if she hasn't learnt how to appreciate this kind of gesture, then let her be. But WARN her seriously that since this is what she wants, she shouldn't ask you to help her carry out any household chores ever again. |

How did such an interesting topic degenerate into a bloodbath? This is sad. |

Vic2k3: Obviously i dont know how many cousins she has, Thats why I'm asking. I hate when people try to act smart. |

Wait wait wait . . . is this the same cousin who u said is having fun with all the girls in NYSC while his fiance was waiting for him faithfully? |
Family / Re: How Would I Forgive My Extended Family Members? by IyaBasira: 10:38am On Sep 17, 2010 |
oisehumen: Under these circumstances, I don't care what they say about me as from that moment on. Besides, whose family am I destroying? Its not the husbands family she was looking after. It was her OWN extended family. That is what makes it worse. |
Family / Re: Her Hubby Changed by IyaBasira: 10:23am On Sep 17, 2010 |
Ujujoan: Please tell them ooooooooo. . , Marriage is not by force!!! But errrmm . . . this is not a bed anyone would like to lie on so let's not be too harsh. She may indeed not have noticed the signs but as it is she has very few options considering that she is pregnant. But on the other hand, isn't the fact that she is pregnant good enough reason to leave his house? She isn't responsible for just her own life anymore, is she? |
Family / Re: Is My Son Left Handed And How Do I Make Him Right Handed by IyaBasira: 9:38am On Sep 17, 2010 |
I am left handed and my mother often reminds me of the trauma I went through with my father because I was left handed. To make me use my right hand, my dad shouted, screamed, and threatened me with the cane. My mother on the other hand would beg him to leave me alone. But all the flogging apparently didn't work because I'm still using my left hand. In my first day at secondary school, I was told to write down all the notes I had missed because I came late. And some of the students gathered round to see me writing because most of them had never seen a lefty before. Like someone said, God made the left hand and made the right hand as well. Just accept it. |
Family / Re: How Would I Forgive My Extended Family Members? by IyaBasira: 12:28pm On Sep 16, 2010 |
When people say, never let extended family into your home , it may sound selfish but now I think I understand what they are trying to say. I am at a loss. But I think her husband should be told. This is truly horrible. I feel so sad. Her feeling reluctant is justified and she should never let them stay with her again. |
Family / Re: Her Hubby Changed by IyaBasira: 12:23pm On Sep 16, 2010 |
Why hasn't she left his house yet? It's obvious he doesn't want her or need her there. The signs are pretty obvious. Whatever love she thought he had for her , never existed in the first place. I think she should get out before he rapes her to death. |
Romance / Re: Would You Revenge For Your Best Friend? by IyaBasira: 4:55pm On Sep 14, 2010 |
collinsfbi: Do not use oranges to explain tomatoes. If a girl did the same thing I would tell her exactly what I wrote up there. And to be honest, you seem really confused. |
Romance / Re: Would You Revenge For Your Best Friend? by IyaBasira: 9:56am On Sep 14, 2010 |
What type of rubbish is that? You slept with someones mom? Oh yeah, sorry I forgot. Its just a story told to get replies so you can have your 15 minutes of fame. |

Literature / Re: Half And Half Story 4 by IyaBasira: 11:22pm On Sep 11, 2010 |
WOW . . . This is fantastic! Dude, do you know you are an amazing writer? I wasn't too sure about this story in the beginning, but by the end, I was totally sold. I also never realized that you were the one who wrote the one of the landlord. Both pieces were hilarious. I love the fact that you were trying to show what everyone was thinking at the same time. It made me laugh. Especially the mother of the son when she thought to herself that the dressing combination of the brides mother was a disaster. But maybe you should have used other parts of the wedding vows so as to show the tension leading up to the point where chaos erupts? Because if everyone was thinking different things at the same time (when the 'speak now or forever hold your peace' comes up ) Mama Taiye will not have enough time to walk down , meet Baba John and have that little chat with him. Everything sort of crashes when too many things are going on at the same time. Also, is this story set in 2010 or 2007? Overall, I would give it and 8 out of 10. You did well. Post more stories please ! |
Romance / Re: I Hate Housework And Cooking by IyaBasira: 3:20pm On Sep 11, 2010 |
netotse: Yeah I noticed that she didn't say anything about being willing to tone it down, but to me that meant that she actually enjoys her work. Which is why I mentioned that she needs to cut down on her working hours. But my point is that NL'ers love to insult people when they ask for advice. That is what annoys me. |
Romance / Re: I Hate Housework And Cooking by IyaBasira: 12:51pm On Sep 11, 2010 |
Yeah I saw the first post before it was deleted. But I didn't comment at that time. |
Romance / Re: Is It Right To Runaway With Him? by IyaBasira: 12:48pm On Sep 11, 2010 |
@ poster ; 4 MONTHS!!! Oti oooo. Please don't even think about running away with him. If it was something like 6 years or so, I could understand. But 4 MONTHS. Babe, please forget about him. And forget about asking his brother what's going on. Guys stand by each other and they will never tell you the truth. Unless of course, his brother is truly a good person. But that is unlikely. Asking someone to run away with you after 4 months is a huge red flag. It is very possible that he is motivated by lust and not love. I was going to tell you to investigate, but now I don't think you should waste your time. Please forget about this guy. He needs to buckle down and accept his responsibilities. |
Literature / Re: First Chapter Of A Book I Just Started: Critique Plzzzz by IyaBasira: 7:08am On Sep 11, 2010 |
morzook: Firstly, I like the way you began the story. The question the little girl asked is indeed a thought - provoking question and one that would embarass most mothers in public. But you seem to be a little verbose sometimes and at other times you use very simple ways of getting your point across. The latter works fine for most people, but where you say "Her mobility was", you could just have said "Her movement was". Also, saying "by one of her sandals which was torn " is better than " by her sandal which was torn ". Therefore, the whole sentence would be ; " Her movement was being hampered by [b]one of her sandals which was torn and had lost both buckles".[/b] Instead of " Her mobility was hampered by her sandal which was torn and had lost both buckles ". Apart from a number of grammatical errors, such as " The girl didn't only looked lovely" (rather than "The girl didn't only look lovely" ) , or "incidence", ( instead of incident ). Refrain from repeating yourself. You had already mentioned that she was intelligent. And then you later said that she "had a very high IQ". And you went on to repeat that in another line. You could just say " She was / is a very bright and pleasant child. " Also, try to say " She had the gift of making her mother burst into laughter even if she was on the verge of tears " . If you want to portray how important the girl is to her mother, make sure you demonstrate it in a way that people will always relate to. Also, you said "She had it all, looks, intelligence and patience". You are seeing through the eyes of a mother and her child but you seem to be injecting things that a guy would say when admiring a beauty queen. To say that she has "looks" is a bit inappropriate for a child her age. There were other things but that's the most I can do for now. Overall, I thought it was a good theme, and it would be better if you could decide whose point of view to see from. Are you looking at things from the mothers view, the view of weary wisdom or that of the child , the view of innocent intellect? Or are you describing them as you would describe 2 strangers walking down a dusty road? Try to decide whether you would like to see things from your angle, the mother's , or the child's. |
Romance / Re: Is It Him Or Am I Tripping? by IyaBasira: 4:33am On Sep 11, 2010 |
Ok . . . To be honest I think he was overreacting. Considering the circumstances of how he corrected her, I don't think it's something to get angry about. But for him to say that you shouldn't socialize with the guy any more , it looks like he thinks you may start cheating on him with that guy. Whatever his reasons are I don't know. But there is a huge lack of trust in everything your husband said. |
Romance / Re: Is It Right To Runaway With Him? by IyaBasira: 3:36am On Sep 11, 2010 |
--190--: Get yourself a glass. Fill it up with cyanide. Then drink it. Beync: This seems very fast. Can you tell us how long you guys have been dating? On the other hand, you seem very reasonable. You can keep it up by choosing not to let your emotions take over. Ignore what he's saying about there being someone else you want to marry. Guys always say that and its really just emotional blackmail. Also, what he told you is just that - its what HE told you. There is no guarantee that what he is saying is the truth and not just a pack of lies. He might already be married to her. Do you know that? All he has to do is tell her "Baby, I'll be away for a few days " and you will be told "Honey, let's run away together. " And when some months have gone by, he eventually disappears. You don't see him again. You've left your job, your home and your country because of some guy who wants extra booty. Please do NOT run away with him. Even if you must, then please go on a thorough investigation to make sure that all he says is true. Wherever he chooses to go is his business. But you cannot take the risk of running away with someone who cannot even stay for the sake of his own child. Remember the old saying ; What someone does to someone else is what they will do to you. |

--190--: You should just have kept your mouth shut. |
Romance / Re: I Hate Housework And Cooking by IyaBasira: 7:58pm On Sep 10, 2010 |
jennykadry: Of course I did. You saw it yourself didn't you? Look, if something is wrong, it is wrong. When mutter was not making sense on another thread , we were able to agree with each other. But THIS! No. Common sense should tell you that nobody wants to work 24 hours and neglect their wifely duties. What makes you think she doesn't want to sit down and relax? If she came to this site to post a problem, its really daft of you to make such a comment. Why would you just assume that because she's having a problem means that she's interested in being a bad wife? There's no reason to assume the worst of someone based on a few lines she wrote. No i'm not bored or hopeless. I just don't like insensitive and unintelligent comments. I mean I was disappointed in you. I really really expected you to have more sense. But I guess I overestimated you. |
Family / Re: My Dad Needs Money Again! Please Help! by IyaBasira: 7:25pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
Mad_Max: Hopefully this will inject some sense into the heads of those people saying he should provide where there is nothing to be provided. |
Romance / Re: I Hate Housework And Cooking by IyaBasira: 7:19pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
jennykadry: johnterry4: opribo: kaecy5: Can someone please explain why everyone is being so insensitive? I read the original post but didn't comment because I KNEW Nl'ers would rain all sorts of insults on her. You guys need to chill sometimes. Its easy for you to insult her and tell her she's a contract wife and all what not but do you know how she feels? If someone asks for advice they are doing so not because they like airing their laundry out in the open, but because they NEED advice! You people on Nairaland have the habit of doing so and its a very stupid habit to say the least. This is just a woman who is overworked. Keep your meaningless insults to yourself! Jeez. @Poster ; If they haven't driven you away already, then here is what I think. You are going to have to cut down on your working hours. That's it. Working ten hours is not good for anyone's health. You need to relax . . . Is there any way of reducing your workload? Please find a way. If the worst comes to the worst, then you might have to quit the job to make your home happier. Something clearly has to give here. If it was a man in this situation, all the morons screaming blue murder would have said "Well, he is a man and he needs to provide!". But since your husband is also working and you said he gets home earlier than you do, then you need to do something about that job. And tell him to be a little more sensitive to your plight. Its not like anyone would work if not for the money. |
Romance / Re: She Broke Up With Her Fiance by IyaBasira: 3:53pm On Sep 06, 2010 |
She should thank her God that she did what a sensible person would do (telling the truth ) That man is on the verge of being a control freak. Imagine being told to go and change every day as you are going out because you wore trousers or earrings. |
