I guess they're all hor.n.y idi.ats

I guess finding your purpose in life and helping others find theirs

Always very frank and straight to the point!

In this case I'll agree to the popular term "End time church"

I've gone through 3 pregnancies with a wife who is definitely not a conductor or even in any menial job. I've also been exposed to proverty at various stages, and as such believe in doing d best u can to meet ur needs. I will support u when/if I can, but will not condemn/criticise ur efforts, as long as I can't provide something better.

My reference to ur likes; dey support ur statement and as such should take my opinion along with u! Do something to change her status, cos she will never do that job if she can feed her family thru other means. I'm just amazed that so much pple could support insensitivity to her plight, wher is d empathy?

I fully understand your point of view, however I beg to disagree:
1. Would you have subscribed to your heavily preagnant wife working as a bus conductor during your darkest financial days just to make ends meet? I'm sure you'd have thought of something better & less risky to mother and fetus
2. It is good to criticise, I assure you. Nobody ever moves forward by being told only what she wants to hear. Its good to encourage her by saying "oh, may God buttress your efforts", or "you're a very hard working woman, keep it up" (both of which I agree to, by the way), but at times it takes the harsh truth to jolt one back to reality: She's being careless. Not because she's a woman, but because of the delicate nature of pregnancy.
3. There are different forms of help one can render to a person: spiritual (in the form of prayer), Financial (in the form of monetary handouts), advisory etc. I have chosen to render her my own advice, albeit in a way she would not like to hear, but an advice nevertheless. Probably if she were a closer acquaintance I might have done more in the form of financial, but where is the practicality & wisdom doling out money to total online strangers in distress? I have given, and helped people to get, several jobs before.
4. As for the number of people who subscribe to my 'insensitive' opinion, it goes to tell u that we all see things differently and there is no one way of doing everything. Diversity of opinion is the norm, not the exception.
The beauty of peaceful coexistence is in agreeing to disagree

ashjay001:
K, I get u; selling purewater would av been beta? Or maybe snacks? Mayb a cleaner, lesser pay, longer hours.

U don't get(understand) proverty! The best thing any of ur 'likes' n u can do, is to seek her out n extend any little assistance! Which pregnant lady doesn't want to sit from sun-up to sun-down feeding fat n sleeping.

Even d bankers amongst them, u think dey are finding it easier?

With all due respect sir, you guys on Nairaland should grow up and stop fixating on "likes" & "shares" & "first page / first to comment" stuff.
There's no job that is 100% safe for a pregnant woman in this country, but you seriously want to compare THIS to banking?!

Don't mind him. You look great! But then of course it could have been the behaviour, not the dressing.

stonecoldcafe:
Husling and carelessness? I beg your pardon pleaseeeeeeee! There is dignity in labour. Save your speech for the runs girls or those who use boyfriend as ATM!

There's dignity in labour bro, I agree, and if it were to be a non pregnant lady, I'd have applauded.
But this is different. That unborn child has a very little chance of making it till delivery date considering the rigours her mother is putting him/her through as a bus conductor on the average Nigerian road. There are other less stressful (albeit not totally risk free) jobs she could do in the mean-time like nanny, house cleaning etc.
I'm not against her working as a pregnant woman, just not this kind of job.

Book me up for no 10

ayindejimmy:
Let's not conclude she's pregnant. Unless Linda Ikeji interviewed her.

I know a woman who had fibroid and I thought she was pregnant. After the operation her stomach went down that's when I knew

I think we can safely conclude she's pregnant since she herself allegedly confirmed it.
Nice perspective though.

optional1:
she is not a 'somebody' she is a pple while we r a pesin. Even though she is a sumbdy shall she b helpin sumbdy else. Jst saying trash

lol...abeg leave trash for lawma o

Lol. So all of you that used to laugh at him, how market? He can now speak good English plus his plenty dough. I hope una too don hammer?

Open casket pls!

All this is just talk. I doubt if anybody can go after IBB in this country

Oga president should sit down and face the worsening economy instead of gallivanting all over the world

This is not a job for pregnant women pls. There's a very sharp line between hustling and carelessness!

Why will anyone want to associate their marriage with a club that doesn't believe in trophies?

propzncribz:
Investigations show you have a Facebook profile with no pictures, posts or friends. Why?

Nice one!

Nice.
Would have been much easier if you had just pasted the link to the school website here.

In what universe is Blackface now in the limelight?

@OP: You never serious o. You're pasting a missing person advert and still taking the unnecessary advantage to direct traffic to your fake blog

So one cannot get any meaningful information on Nairaland again without having to click one blog or the other

Nonsense

GrammarNazi:
Oga how can you just come and ask for serious business partners without giving us even the slightest idea of what kind of business for which you seek partnership?

I personally cannot give out my number till I have at least a little idea of what in getting into. So do the needful.

He needs a serious business partner, but he himself doesn't seem serious

FAKE NEWS EVERYWHERE

He who pays the drummer dictates the tune

67 goals in 146 league games in 5yrs is not that impressive
