What if its in the west though and both parties work 40 hours each??
there are no housemaids available in the west,

@sista, same here, I remarried nearly five years ago A'isha knows my current husband from the day she was born.

The distance tends to justify their ignorance sometimes, as in the fact that her father lives in US and I live in EU. I reckon though, even if I stayed in PA the situation would be the same. He's always to busy with one thing or another.

Sure I eventually found out then that he had a number of other children in IL and one or two in IA. Shame on him.

My childs father was an african american man and we were married. He has abandoned his daughter from day one. His father (nigerian) abandoned him and his mother (african am) when he was a new born baby. It continues and continues. I would not have even given birth if I were not married. I was married and look what happened. Some men just don't care. There are men here (white) that do these things also. I dont have the stats though.

The lady is a doctor so its not like they are short of money. She is a practising MD in Europe.

No, this is a lady that I know through a childrens playgroup.

yes, the youngest child is now approaching one yr

The lady doesnt seem to mind at all!! For me now waaaayyy! just imagine all those stunning Ukrainian women!!

Not just that I would be lonely. There are four kids in this marriage.  

If the woman has kids with him then they are definetely married. Not Nigerian but thats what I was told.

Hi guys! what would you say and do if your husband wanted to do his medical degree in the ukraine and you both live in europe. Just i know of one lady who is an MD and her husband wants to go to the Ukraine alone for three years to do his studies there (as its cheaper) do you not think thats a bit too long to be away from your spouse?

ITS ALL ABOUT OPPORTUINITY. MIND YOUR MARRIAGE, BE ON YOUR GAURD, I DONT' MEAN BE OVER POSSESSIVE OF YOUR HUSBANDS BUT FOR HEAVENS SAKE BE VIGILENT.

I PERSONALLY KNOW OF FOUR CASES HERE IN IRELAND WHERE A NIGERIAN MAN HAS CHEATED ON HIS WIFE, TWO OF THESE CASES THE MISTRESSES (ONE AFRICAN AND ONE WHITE MISTRESS) BECAME PREGNANT BUT THOSE MARRIAGES ARE STILL TOGETHER. ACTUALLY ALL THE MARRIAGES ARE STILL TOGETHER

I KNOW OF ONE CASE WHERE AN IRISHMAN GOT A GIRL PREGNANT ON A ONE NIGHT STAND AND HIS WIFE ALSO FORGAVE HIM. THERE ARE OTHER CASES WHERE THE MAN WAS NOT FORGIVEN.

DONT KNOW WHAT ITS ACTUALLY LIKE TO BE IN THAT POSITION AS THANKFULLY MY HUSBAND HAS NEVER CHEATED IN THE SIX YEARS WE ARE TOGETHER. IF I WAS IN THAT POSITION, I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO.

GEORGE BUSH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KILLING OF SO MANY INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN. HE DESERVES EXECUTION. I REMEMBER LOOKING AT PICTURES OF CORPSES OF INNOCENT FAMILIES IN LEBANON NOT SO LONG AGO AS IN ABOUT 2006 I THINK AND THE CHILDREN WERE SO BEAUTIFUL AGED 2 AND UNDER LYING THERE DEAD. WHY? BECUASE THE ISRAELIS AND THE AMERICANS KILLED THEM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSAND THAT DIED, SHAME ON THAT DEVIL. HE IS THE LIVING ANTI CHRIST.

THATS COS MEXICAN FOOD IS FULL OF CHEESE. CHEESE IS SO VERY FATTY.

Cous cous al maghribi:

You will need:
oil (either groundnut or olive oil for this dish)
Little salt
knorr chicken cubes (about five or six)
some chicken leg pieces
one whole bulb of garlic ie about nine or ten cloves
one onion
black pepper
one or two if you wish of hot peppers
three carrots
two potatoes
one small can tomatoe paste or about three tablespoons of it.
one can of chick peas (aka garbanzo beans)
One Zucchini aka a courgette(optional)

Wash and season the chicken with maggi/knorr chicken
meanwhile peel the carrots and potatoes and slice the potatoes in four quarters
chopp carrots (in whatever style you like I like to slice it across half way, then down and down again (put aside)
heat little oil in a pot
chopp and add onion to the hot oil
chop garlic and add
brown them for about a minute then add the chicken and brown that a little too for a few minutes
add some salt
some black pepper and hot peper (or hot chilli powder 1 tablespoon)
then add in the tomatoe paste mix it around so that the chicken has paste on it.
now you add water (fill the pot up with half water so that there will be enough for vegetables to cook in.
Now put the vegetables in.
meanwhile leave it to boil for half an hour ( make sure to stir it occasionally though)
it should thicken and look more stew like over time
now, after that half hour add one can chick peas
add the courgette (optional)
leave it to cook for another twenty mins.
*note This stew sauce is not supposed to be very thick and sharp like regular groundnut stew.
You can decide on your own consistency by adding or removing water, but the arabic way is that the sauce is sort of light and little bit runny becuase cous cous is dry and it kind of absorbs the sauce itself while you are eating it.

Make your cous cous and pour your stew over it.
You can also make this dish with lamb
or you can just use some curry powder insted of tomatoe paste.

@frozen no I'm not a nigerian lady. Why would any lady welcome their husbands mistresses child?

Thank you also funforme that was nice what you said God bless you too.

Thank you, I have millions of foreign recipes for you. Perhaps you may appreciate them. I will most them for you.

Hey Amber, can you please check out my new thread about what I can cook for my igbo husband, how did you learn how to cook thiese things? perhaps your husband can cook. Also can you look at some of the last made comoments on same.

I have all the recipes, this is a technique that obviosly needs supervision from a native hand. I think I just won't bother at all. Judging by what Lakanye said there is little point in me wasting time and money because igbo kinship doesnt marry oyinbo for lifetime, he got his greencard so what what more does he want. Just I wanted to please him and somehow thought that making ofe this and ofe that would make him want to see how much I do care about him and want to make the marriage work. I was quite hopeful up until Lakanya and method man posted her honest, realistic observations.

okoro wan greencard she wants love. Thanks methodman.

As a matter of fact I can read pigin english. Thank you for your observations, your basically saying I shouldn't bother as he is only usin me for a green card. If he was that bothered about his food he would have gotten someone to teach me by now but no he is not very bothered at all. Note: I do cook his foods for him, I just wanted to make sure I do it PROPERLY so he no go chop salad and meatballs OFTEN. As a matter of fact also he regularly go chop ofada rice n stew, egusi, okro, jollof etc I can make them you know. Well, maybe I shouldnt bother at all, seen as I am oyinbo.

Very encouraging indeed.

On another note frozen, how come it depends whether they are yoruba or not - just curious,

Hell no Frozen!!!!

not nigerian but woudl eat anything at all exept pork and ogbonno. the smell and taste of ogbonno it reminds me of the smell of wiskey.

Hey Lakanye, any chance of you putting a bit more meat on your last post? dont really get what your saying.
