FamilyRe: Abroad-based Nigerian Couple Fight As Wife Pulled Out A Knife. by JustinDuke(m): 9:24pm On Sep 11, 2025
dominique:
Nobody wakes up one morning and decides to pull a kinfe on their partner, something must have led to it. We need to hear from both sides before giving a balanced judgement
If it was the man that pulled out the knife, will you also say the same thing about hearing from both sides?

I don't support any man or woman marrying now to give birth to more than two kids irrespective of their financial status.


If you are too rich, give birth to two and adopt available kids instead of birthing more
Well, it's okay to have difference of opinions.

Why should any sensible human getting married today plan to born more than 2 kids; what for?

2 kids is enough


And when a man of 37yrs marries a lady of 30 - 35yrs, it's advisable for them to give birth to just 2 kids and plan to give them quality life plus education.
Valid point.
Then again, there are men that are rich enough to give 4 kids quality education.
Will you also say that is not sensible ?
Well, unless you have other reasons why you said 2 is enough.

With the reality of life now,


Men: 33 - 40yrs

Women: 27 - 35yrs


But you must never give birth to more than 2 kids.
Why not more than 2 kids ?

Benin republic - Togo - Ghana - Ivory coast

Dybala11:
You're wrong, we don't share any border with Ivory Coast at all.
We share border with Benin Republic, after going through that country then you'll enter Ghana before getting to Ivory Coast. Infact there's like two countries between Nigeria and Ivory Coast sef.
RomanceRe: My Mum Doesn't Want Us To Get Married Because Of This Picture by JustinDuke(m): 6:56pm On Feb 08, 2023
Zikonna:
I need serious advice. I grew up an only child, raised by a single mum. My dad abandoned us as when I was a kid and few years later he died in an accident. My mum is the most important person in my life and I love and respect her. She is also a very religious woman and raised me so.

I am settled and ready to get married and I have met the woman I am sure is the one for me. My mum has met her once and although she had her reservations she wasn't opposed to it. But yesterday while going through my fiance's whatsapp status(bacause she has her number), she came across the picture below and because of it, she is now opposed to the marriage. According to her, she can't let her only child get married to a girl that wears bum shorts in public. She says "this sort of dressing is from the devil"

I have tried to explain to her that my girl isn't like that and she only wears clothes like that once in a while. My mum is still adamant. She wants me to end our relationship and find a "responsible woman"

I am currently torn between my mum and the woman I have decided to spend the rest of my life with. I am afraid that if I disobey my mother's instructions, it would lead to serious circumstances as she is also my spiritual mother.

I do not know what to do. Look at the picture below. I really don't see anything wrong. I cropped her face to maintain anonymity.
Some societal norms has led to decay in marital institutions.

My mum always remind us that a woman who has " shame " especially in public is a potential wife material, amongst other virtues.

A female who can comfortably dress shamelessly in public because almighty Society agrees with it today, well...be ready to share her with oga society too.

Listen to your mum who have suffered and sacrificed for you.
Be not in a haste, do due diligence in secret, find out more. Observe the little things.

We are usually " blind " when in love. Use your head first before your heart. It is for your own good and peace of mind.

A broken relationship is better than a broken marriage.

Be wise.

Sadly, it is very evident that the average Nigerian are angry people.
We barely hold a civil conversation without throwing bouts of insults at one another.
It is not mandatory that your opinion takes the crown. Don't take it personal.
Just make your arguments and counterarguments with clarity. It's solid than noise to the ears as seen above.
RomanceRe: What Feature (s) Is A Must Have For A Partner You Intend To Date Or Marry? by JustinDuke(m): 3:33pm On Feb 19, 2022
obembet:
To me, I look forward for two things


1. Intimacy

Someone that we can Spend quality time together: Make spending time together a priority —even amid busy work schedules and children. Engage in an activity you both enjoy, limit distractions, and take time to simply talk and enjoy one another.

2. Maturity

A man that is very mature, Apologize first and show your appreciation: Saying you’re sorry takes courage, and it can be uncomfortable to admit you’re wrong or try to make up after an argument. And it takes intentionality to acknowledge the big and “small” things your partner does daily that you appreciate.

Lalasticlala
And will you also admit you are wrong, apologize first and show appreciation?
