In brief I am a mother of 4 children and my two oldest children father have been abroad for almost 9 years he has abandoned the children, he hasn't sent a kobo for their upkeep for all these years nor a phone call to know about their health. He returned back this January and he messaged me few weeks ago on Facebook ( I have been using my Facebook since 2008 with my real names) he requested for my number because he want us to meet with him to discussed about the children. I ignored the message because I think if my children had survived 9 years without him and they will survive more years to come without him. He messaged me three more times the last one was yesterday he said he is going back to Italy next week Tuesday if I miss this opportunity to meet up with him . he will never bother me again and my children will hate me for keeping them away from him.
Please am I wrong for not wanting him to see the children This is a serious matter if you have nothing good to say please skip my post
Meet with him and see what he has to say... It won't remove anything from you.. all that he said about the kids growing up and blaming you is pure trash.. When you meet him and all he's saying is not palatable to you... Get up and go... Simple

Testiebobo: I have a girl in my class, who always stare at me at all time. And am a shy and private guy, and hate people staring at my face especially the girls. And to be honest, I don't even admire her. Pls I need your advise urgently on what to do next timbe she stares at me
destiny4luv: Good day Nairalanders. let me go straight to the point. I work off-shore so most of the times I am not always around, some times I can be at work for three months and be given one or two weeks time- off that's just the nature of my job.
But they is something troubling me seriously, when I give my wife instructions regarding anything at all she will first of all ask my Mom before she carries out the instruction I give her, that's if my Mom is in support of the instruction. Recently I gave her an instruction regarding a particular matter while I was on time-off, only for my wife to call me fee weeks later while I at work that she has carried out the instruction when the time I told her to carry out that instruction is not yet. I was so mad at her I asked her why can't she wait till the time I told her to do it; she said my Mom came over to the house and told her to do it so she did it. At that point I cut the call.
Later that day my Mom called me and was asking why I cut the call on my wife and refused to pick her call even why she was calling back, I told her she was the course, and she said how, and I told her why will I give my wife instruction and u will come to counter that instruction without the both of u letting me know not after the did has been done. My Mom was angry that can't she have say in my home, I told her to an extent not to the point of countering my instructions. She was very angry we both had some argument on the phone before I told her am late for work I want to hang up and she hang up the call, she knows I was seriously angry with her. Since that day she hasn't called me and I haven't called her too.
My wife called me and apologized that it won't happen again. I forgive her and we both made amend. Now my Mom is not talking to me and my wife at the moment. Please what I did was it wrong or did I over reacted?
I love and respect my Mom likewise my wife, but I won't want her to control my home for me. Should I call her and apologize to her or just let her be till her mind comes down?
Tell your mother to Mind her Business... If you can't tell her lemme have her number and I'll GLADLY tell her...free of charge
bestofnollywood: Apparently, in protest against her inability to withdraw cash from the bank due to the ongoing crises in the banks, the lady claimed her children have not been able to feed nor go to school for days due to her inability to withdraw cash from her account.
Attempts to pacify her fell on deaf ears in the short video.
Apples Bite Magazine could not ascertain in which branch of Access Bank this happened.
All attempts to reach the Corporate Communications department of the bank on the matter by Apples Bite Magazine were unsuccessful at the time of going to press.
