Timekeeper: I think there is a evil that reside in a lady once she gets married... As in, some married women are so selfish and wicked... S Let me give these instances; 1. Their own brothers and sisters come to her husband home and there is no issue.. He/she (wife siblings) has unrestricted access to everything in the house since it's her sister's husband house.. But when the husband siblings come, they have restricted access to some things in the house.. Any attempt to go futher, the wife start bringing up attitude towards them..
2. The wife mother comes and she is free to stay as long as she wants but if the husband mother comes, the selfish wife is already asking the husband when will mama leave for her place....
3. The husband sends money to her family, no problem, the husband sends to his family, then there is need for him to be accountable for the money sent to his own parents oooo..
4. Husband sponsors wife siblings to school and all is fine.. Husband sponsors his own siblings and the wife develops hatred automatically towards the sibling bcox she thinks they are draining her husband resources..
Some married women are wicked soul in disguise. Bad enough, you wunt see these attitudes in them until they are married.
I still wonder and ask; why are some married woman so selfish and demonic in nature?
Cc: Iyaebe stay off this thread.. Not for people like you... Tanchu
A woman has no right to tell me how to spend my money..especially the type who wants me to buy frivolities/liabilities during courtship..if you supported me to boost my portfolio..you have earned a level of respect that you have sense and i can listen to you from time to time based on some criteria..for a woman who added nothing i dont discuss my finances i simply do it and you see it..i dont need a woman who i tell lets buy 1 more acre of land and she tells me but you promise me shopping in december.
ClassicMan202: That is why I dey always tell Papa Emeka, carry your wife dey go shop sometimes make she sabi the business small bcus when you die na she go take over..
If to say madam no dey learn small small bible verses when oga dey alive, those 'wise' men for don run her street.
Most igbo men..their wives understand the mans business infact they run it together. The man who sells my suit..he travels and the wife manages the shop.

Those of you in your 40s now
Why was your dad unable to buy this tortoise car?
Him no get money na
Same reason you can't afford ₦2m Toyota car now
Which will become like this Tortoise car in cost value in 40yrs time
Point is
There was no "when Nigeria was good"
No time was life better
In fact, life was more difficult, years back
What makes a time or season better for you, among other factors, is the opportunity you identified, maximized and sustained or divested. Copied
Lol..there was actually a time Nigeria was better..then things were based on merit..you work hard you get paid, you studied hard you graduate and a job is waiting for you..cheap loans were available..not these 50percent per annum type of loans these days designed to make one poor..in the US I learnt of Zero interest loan for the first time last year..how cool is that..great for business..dont know if it has existed before..my pops had this then a 504 and 505 Peugeot.
The man actually spoke well..guess he is a business man that just shows up once in a while..who are the day to day administrator's, hall warden and security officials.?
post=108219453: In a bid to stop the incidence of gas flaring and importation of cooking gas into the country, the Managing Director, Africa Plus Partners Nigeria Limited and Chief Investment Officer of Africa Infra Plus Fund, Mr Niran Ajakaiye, says the company is currently building a gas processing facility in Anambra State to make cooking gas available to the citizenry. Ajakaiye, who stated this while speaking to journalists in Asaba, said Delta IPP project was executed in partnership with private entities, Africa Plus Partners Nigeria Limited and Bastanchury Power Solutions Nigeria Limited. Ajakaiye said, “We are investing in gas; we are currently building a gas processing facility to stop gas flaring sites in one location in Anambra. “We already have the inner storage to ease gas distribution by LPG. Nigeria has more gas than crude oil. So, in order to monetise the gas, you need to create the conversion process.
espionagesavvy: Although highly venomous. The gaboon viper is a mild tempered and friend snake. It hardly bites humans. Even when picked it would not bite. It would instead try to getaway.

moonbyte25: Nigerians have reacted with anger after an alleged photo of the mother and father of one of the boys who attacked Sylvester popped up.
A photo alleged to be of a couple who are the parents of Andel Temile, one of the boys alleged to be involved in the attack which killed Sylvester Oromoni, has popped up.
The photos were shared by the blogger Cutie Juls on Instagram.
The photos showed a man and a woman alleged to be the parents of a Dowen college student involved in Sylvester’s attack.
News has been trending the past couple of days about one Sylvester Oromoni, a deceased young boy.
Sylvester was attacked by colleagues at Dowen college, allegedly for refusing to agree to join them in a cult.
Videos of him struggling to live after his attack surfaced and drew huge sympathy.
He unfortunately later died and sparked a huge outrage.
Following immense pressure from Nigerians, Dowen College has been temporarily shut down by the Lagos state government.
One Andel Temile has been identified as one of those involved in the attack on the young Sylvester.
Cutie posted a photo of his mum and dad adding the caption:
“Temile are the parents of the ANDEL TEMILE. Please if you can’t reach me in DM today, please contact me on 08033613506 Our DM is very busy today. Sorry for the inconveniences,”
ikennamadu1: Hello nairalanders, just did my own little research .. the owner of dowen college is olumide Philips , after my extensive research I discovered that the celebrity ubi Franklin was talking about might be LAMI PHILIPS ... Had to go and check her Instagram handle.. just found out she has deactivated it .. after several backlash .. seems her dad is well connected.
We've all heard the sad story about the kid that died from injuries sustained from the beatings from bullies. And I want to believe some of us here have experienced something similar from seniors while in secondary school, or even higher institution.
Please share so we can learn a thing or two.
Lol remember when i was in primary 2 or 3 some group of boys used to bully me cos they tot i was rich. Cos every afternoon a car comes to pick me and my sibling from school. So on this fateful day car no come so i decided to buy all those coloured drinks that they tie inside nylon i think those things were sold for 1 naira or 2 for 5 naira cant remember but on that day i bought like 30pieces inside a big black nylon and decided i was going to walk home naso these boys show from no where beat the hell out of me carry my coloured ice block drink inside nylon. I reported them the next day and my parents were with me ..those days.
Something has been bothering me of late and leaving me emotionally and mentally stressed and drained for the past weeks and I'm cut between the devil and the deep blue sea.
There's this bro we're trying to see if we can work things out. though, I never really wanted anything relationship again or at least for now until I'm decided later in the future on what I really want for myself.
Before, I delve into the main discuss , let me quickly highlight how it all started.
Some months back, My publisher came to deliver the books I ordered for. So while sorting the books, he just got teasing me like " Babes, na wa o. What's up with your romantic life now?. I've never seen you pulling with anyone. It's always work, biz Money money money I see you pursuing. Lol... I just told him, guy, free me abeg and I went on counting the books at the boot of his car.
He now walked up to me and said, on a more serious note, what is happening? So I told him it's a personal choice cos I dont have the strength for relationship brouhaha now. He agreed with me that truly its not easy and even as a married man, he too feels the heat but the good thing is, he married in the Lord. So I should choose wisely from among the brethren.
So he said, he has this family friend, an eligible bachelor, who wants a decent lady and I'm the one that comes to mind each time the guy mentions it because since he's be dealing with me, he can vouch that I'm a very honest, hard-working and decent lady. So he would want the bro to have me. That was how I got to meet bro.
Now fastforward to the main reason of this post. There was this particular day we tripped out to cool off and discuss about US. So we got talking and planning on how to build our home in a way that we will not be caught unawares with some setbacks and unplanned responsibilities. So the issue of children came up and I suggested we have only one, which he reluctantly accepted after much convincing. So we tried to look at ways we can maintain that decision and I suggested a vasectomy. citing the possibilities of health risks (as a result of mismatches ) and failures that might occur if the family planning is done on me but with vasectomy, no issues. He looked me in the eyes and said, "my darling" no!
I was dumbfounded.... And became a little worried because, if he has no plans of having more children, why would he kick against the idea of a vasectomy?
If we are going to be one and follow one course, why shying away from a plan that will benefit us as a couple and a family?
Could it be, he only agreed to have one with me and plans to have more else where? Is vasectomy a life threatening condition?
I was still trying to wrap my head around his refusal, when he said, it will be done on you ( the family planning). That instant, I felt all alone, like im on my own. So I told him I needed to cool off, and he said feel free. I left the tent and went to the waters prentending to be playing with the water. He came and dragged me out of the water. we strolled without a word and I asked him to take me home. He did.
He called when he got home. I was cold to him so, he promised to call again but since then Ive refused to pick his calls or reply his texts.
The big question is .. WHY DID HE BLUNTLY REFUSE A VASECTOMY?
COULD HE HAVE ULTERIOR MOTIVES?
IS IT NOT BETTER TO OPT OUT NOW THAN PRETEND I DIDN'T GET THE MESSAGE AND END UP IN REGRETS?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A MAN KICKS AGAINST VASECTOMY?
pmoye: This is advice is really for Nigerian ladies. Please and please do not marry a man that is not rich. Your very life will depend on it. You heard me... How long you live as a woman may well depend on how rich your husband is. This may seem like an over-generalization, but a very needful one. Quite a troubling percentage of Nigerian men can not handle a woman who is more financially buoyant.
Ideally it shouldn't matter how much each person earns, because I believe that the husband and the wife should be one financially. That the home should be planned like a company with budgets, financial planning, sound auditing and all... But from the much we have seen around the average Nigerian family is far from this ideal. We often have what increasingly looks like a union that appears more to serve a cultural/societal expectation, a union that is sustained just so that the society can think you are happily married, while between the man and the wife it is more like between US and China, between Northern and Southern Nigeria, a perpetual cold war and bitter jostling for resource allocation and control.
I have seen women who have died because the husbands couldn't afford antenatal care and used ego-motivated argument to keep the women from accessing timely medical care... And of course, few years or even months after that those wicked men would later bring in other wives into the house.
The poorer the man, the more wicked, the more angry, and the more deadly he generally is in Nigeria. Do not let any man or any woman convince you to marry for love. There is no such thing as that, just a queer surge of hormones that makes you think you are in love. If you marry a poor man for love, hunger and suffering will soon reset your thinking, and by then most women feel too culturally compelled to remain with the toxin of a husband they have. Take a cue from evolutionary development in animal kingdom generally where females select the most suitable male for mating.
Do not simply believe in a man's future plans and dreams. If he doesn't have money now, he is not ready to be a husband. No matter how much you think you love him, treat him like the case of AS genotype (yours) marrying an SS genotype (his). And this is something I respect some Igbo men for. They will never think of marrying a woman unless they are economically ready.
If he is earning N30,000, or N40,000 or N90,000 per month he is not ready to marry. These are just examples from posts I have seen around here. Do not be fooled, the amount on the payslip is not always available for taking care of the home. But that's the talk for another day.
Some of us are probably never going to get married, I personally find it very scary to read about how men because of poverty increasingly turn against their wives in marriage... I may be too traditional though, because I do not fvcking care the money the wife is bringing into the house. Her role as a mother and a wife is already supremely more than you need to compensate for as a man. If you are a man, do not get close to a man when you are still poor. It is wickedness. It is dishonesty. It is crime against humanity. Do not sell her a future hope of becoming a pastor and other popular silliness.
Marrying a lady when you cannot completely and single-handedly take care of her is gender violence. Stop it.
Brilliant advise..provided that rich man wont be poor tomorrow. The fact that you work in chevron and they pay you 10m doesnt mean you are rich. The fact that you live in a rented 8million duplex per annum doesnt mean you are rich..the fact that you bought your wife a 5million naira ride immediately after marriage doesnt mean you are rich. It simply means your job can afford those needs/luxury NOW! and if you have no back up and that job is taken away from you. You are a poor man living large..and its just a matter of time. and your financial intelligence will be evident for all to see..you cant hide it for long with packaging.
Rooneyboy: why U dare not try it. So as long as the answer falls in ur writeup.

ginggerxy: and yet the professors can't invent or even duplicate other countrys technology to help our country?
This saddens me the most. Why do we still import engines for cars, planes, bikes, ships Why cant we create chips for our laptops and other electronic devices Why cant we make our own rice processing machines, mechanized farming equipment Why cant we make our own high speed trains

Congratulations A gal is currently doing the samething to me! But I dont find it appealing at all..I like being the one to make the move.
I have tasted both public and private higher institutions and I can sincerely tell you that private is better. You people can't know this because you don't want to know.
What Oau gives is that fighting spirit! The can do attitude. Ever conscious! Ever vigilant. Ability to work under pressure.
oyatainer: I have studied in two other universities after OAU, experience in OAU is incomparable to any here in Nigeria. The drilling and hectic experience are designed to mould you not to break you. The distinction is visible in my place of work now where handful of OAU products stand out.
You cant pass through the walls of Oau and not excel in any place you find yourself.. it's not possible. It's obvious in their product even those who were showed road 1.
