How much una get sef for dis forum

What do u expect Wen majority of dem are illiterates with fufu-stuffed bellies

Women are in trouble. Instead of dem to get serious abt what they need as a gender most of dem are busy tryna be runs girls, waist-training, learning how to do unrealistic makeups, chasing horsebands sideboos or tryna be a sidechick or babymama. How many of dem knew dt d bill was to be passed today noone!

Nobody can fight for you except God or you yourself! Sadly women have lost sight of things.

Seems the ooni is confused Are u a traditionalist or a christain. You can't call the name of God den also consult the oracle. Pick a struggle mister no-one will call for ur head if u do but don't deceive ppl pls.

I am afraid to even have a brief separation because of financial reasons.

Atleast you're being honest...unlike some that will lie they're staying for the kids .

I suggest you ignore him, he's having that much effect on you because you've attached alot of relevance on him. Separation isn't needed because he won't feel it. Stay in your home and ignore the living day out of his life and watch him squirm!

My Uncle of about 55 years lost his wife about 7years ago when his only child; a son was 20yrs.
Now the father want to marry another woman and the son who is now 27 also want to marry, as he is the only child, so that he should keep the lineage going.
There is problem now in the house since the son stil want financial support from the father, and the two cant marry at the same time because of financial strain. Ur advice to them

Good financial planning if not the son should use his own money

The man is in charge of his home. He is a powerful king. A priest even in his utterances and declarations. He was anointed thus. His power is divine; irrevocably inherent. His words spoken over his family echoes far into the celestial realms where spirits attend to them.

All this to describe the supposed power of a man in a marriage i just can't with this guy hehehehehehehe!

Baddest women ti take over...konji na obvious bastard

Cheating isn't there...am surprised to ba ya they'll start forming victims and saying they want equality after accepting so much shit than soakaway.

Be better not equal.

our relationship waxed stronger to the extent that we both had fun together(you know what i mean).Infact being a Warri guy i did not waste time in collecting her flowers which she gleefully gave to me.

So bashful so unnecessary

We later met again in 2002 and spent the night together in the apartment i rented while in school .It was the night night that the Ikeja cantonement bomb took place. That night she gave me shocking revelation on the aftermath of our sexual escapade back then in 1998. She explained in detail how she bacame pregnant and had to leave her parents house out of fear that they would find out. She even went ahead to defer her admission and got rid of my baby. I forgave her for what she did because i knew she was rather too young and inexperience to deal with the situation then.

Poor girl,can't imagine what she went thru dt period. Chances of u telling to abort her would have been high if u had found out

Nairalanders, please i want candid and mature response to this question"Who is actually the first fruit of her womb" My unborn child or the child she had first for her husband

Will the answer pay ur bills or give u unimaginable cash from somewhere; face your life and ur family and leave the woman alone. She has moved on, you should do thesame

sack? Marriage don turn company and wife is now a position to apply. Housewife u sef sack ur horseband

Let me give you an example, someone brought up the topic of equal rights on Nairaland, and most of the male 'commenters' were of the opinion that women are inferior to men, and some even went as far as saying women should earn less in the workplace because they are not as intelligent and productive as men.

say what?

When I think deeply about it, I'm afraid I have to lay the blame at the feet of 'our Mothers'. Why, you ask? I believe that women are closest to their children, they are the primary nurturers hence have the ability to influence their thinking and reasoning pattern very early in life and even when they are grown, as we all listen to our mothers and try as much as possible to do what gladdens their hearts. So, when I see a young man who beats his wife, the first thought that comes to my mind is 'His mother has failed at raising this young man properly'.

That's why l laugh wen i hear ppl say our mother/olden days mothers were such good parents; if they were i think most people especially men will make sound judgement in every aspects of life. While children will always find their own path, foundation matters alot, sadly the family system in this country lacks solid foundation, the old women concentrated too much on the females while expecting the males to figure it out by themselves, those one too will look at the father figure who are ever chauvinistic in their nature.

Also the terrible ways any man treats any woman right now is solely the woman's fault. You don't have to take it you know, no one holds the key to your happiness except you. But most women will continue to take it forgetting every person has a limit, and wen its passed the limit they either break down or engage in uncalled indulgence.

Learn to either take it or walk away, I'll pick the latter. We need to stop being a victim and also raise our sons well like the op said.

Sambarry don turn this thread to an emotional one

For the woman; abeg advice don finish o, we can't tell you to leave before you say we're hating on ur "shamarriage", we definitely can't tell you to stay coz our conscience will hunt us, so we are in a dilemma like you're

Lukandah00001:
But he did not say he was lending it out to me. It was an obligation. Why do i have to pay back

Please pay back coz wen issues start now you'll regret why you didn't pay back. Also distant your new family from people like that and try as much as possible to be a strong financial pillar in ur home to avoid people donating money during emergencies. Stay blessed!

We still don't know the real reason you slapped her or how many times you did, all i saw was "to cut the story short i slapped her". There's not justification for hitting any grown person, if you know she's no the right fit abeg use ur two legs and walk away from the relationship; you aint a tree now and ur destiny isn't tied to her, rather than languish in the anger and frustration the relationship breeds.

Am agreeing with the posters telling you guys that you're not matured. The both of you need to work on yourselves and stop blaming NL coz na here we dey wen the story broke no be say we go do gbeborun

This story has been trending for sometime now on twitter/instagram but it didn't really get my attention till I overheard the same discussion on a radio station this morning.

Apparently a little 7year old boy asked his dad to get him an iPhone, to which the dad demanded 10 excellent grades from the kid. The little chap went on to surpass the target by bagging 15 excellent grades out of a total of 16.

The teacher's comment states and i quote "Gerrard has improved greatly in his spelling/reading skills. However,  he needs improvement in self esteem.  Kudos!" .

I was pretty amazed at some contributions made on the station this morning.  I thought this really wasn't so much to deliberate on or argue over. Perhaps i was wrong.

What really got me thinking and prompted me to put this up was the fact that I could connect the dots thinking through the answers some people gave and to why as a nation we haven't made so much progress in years.

I know that we are all entitled to our opinions and stuff but the level at which the majority pitch their reasoning is why things would probably remain the same for a long time to come.

For example some folks said he should get the little kid a China version of the iPhone (a chinco), one said he would get the kid the iPhone and steal it from the child in other to keep it safe.

A caller even went as far as saying the little 7YEAR OLD was a SCAMMER and that he wasn't doing so well in class on purpose in other to get the father to do his bidding. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS

Others went on to say he should get the little kid a mobile phone but probably not as expensive as the iPhone. The one that really got me dazed was a comment saying the father shouldn't get the child anything and that its the perfect time to teach the child about disappointment.
Like seriously? 

Following these line of thoughts we subconsciously train our kids that it is right to be dishonest, it is right to make a promise you cannot keep, people shouldn't be trusted, it is right to steal for the "greater good" and so many more. Then we look around and wonder why the nation is in a quagmire.

Sadly we are the architects of our future.

Nigerians we are so sad, frustrated and sorrowful; it's a shame we are passing it on to our children

TheBiafran:

well, there are more you will agree with us on in less than no time
just watch

Don't need to watch o...things have really gone extremely out of hand

Am sure he means no govt can fix his administration's mess in 4years

600 milla on dogs am gonna agree on dem biafrans on this one. NIGERIA IS A ZOO


*nigeria jaga jaga everything scatter scatter*

Two things i now know about the op;
1) he's a bigot
2) he's myopic

Sometimes "ur type" is the reason why you're single

Difference dey Some girlfriends are enjoying better than some fiancee or wives sef. Just make sure he treats you right

Yawns! who cares

Stale! 100m wey don sink tey tey

At this stage there's nothing to do dan hope things change either for her or the hubby. Going back to the family will cause more harm dan good coz they'll be like when things became bad that's when you remembered us. Why didn't she try to reach out to them when things were still good. Abi reconciliation is only needed coz u need help ni or for the sake of peace.

Op tell her sorry and she should kindly lay on the bed she made herself.

Happiest day in a woman's life will be the day she can eat all she wants without getting fat

ebyjoyken:
Hello everyone, this story is about my younger sister and I need your advice. My sis got married last year December to a man she thought she knew. After the traditional wedding she relocated to where he got an apartment for her. This guy doesn't stay in nigeria. Recently my sister went to visit one of her husband's cousin and was chatting with the wife of her husband 's cousin. The woman didn't know when she said that my sis is the third wife the guy is getting married to. And that his other wife has a daughter for him who is 5years old. Secondly he lied about his age he is 53 and lied to my sis that he is 39. Please I need matured advice. No insults please.

A 53yr old man lied that he's 39 and y'all cudnt tell or u were all blinded by the money. It's only when a nigga is making it rain that people don't research well on his background. If your sis did she wouldn't have ended up in such a dilemma.

You see, I have financial freedom, I can afford to walk away right now and life will not be miserable because I can comfortably eat my three square meals daily, afford good accommodation and take care of my two kids. God has blessed me past that level where a man can make me his foot mat. I have a good job, I don't depend on him for my upkeep, I didn't grow from his money. I had a job even before I met him so, If I decide to let him stay with his "friendship" I told him by telling me what your not going to do you are telling what you are going to do. He said it should have went without saying he's not willing to let go of his marriage.

So are u asking for permission to divorce or what Coz dis part got me confused If you're that empowered please leave him...bragging about your achievements isn't gonna change the issues in your 15yrs marriage.

Oya over to dem endurance/prayerful/fasting/redpant/strongwoman crew. This is where we need u guys
