Be who u r:

Here i was sitting quietly in my office until my life was altered due to something silly my supposedly fiancee wrote exposing ourlives for no just cause and setting me up for christians who dont know me to insult me to the highest heavens. If she even spoke to me about this, i wont be this demoralized and shakey at work reading all these evil statements made by people calling me this things. Why would she go this far to do it. And your saying i shouldnt blame her. You all forget the 6 pages of insults that strangers from no where have been pouring on me and the people that know me reading this. How far this write up would go is something else. From all your advices she is getting married to a devil because i am not a christian, why should i just let her be in peace since that would stop all these slanderous statements and let me be. We have done so many things together as a couple and this issue of the christian or no christian thing has never cropped up until now on the internet. How would you feel if it were you that you just woke up one morning and found your life being the centre of the storm for no just cause. Do you guys forget things easily? Have you not gone through all the name calling and atheist bashing due to her story. Why should she do this and your telling me i should chill and am childish because she praised me. What sort of praise is that? If she truely loved me why should she lay me out bare for people to castigate me because of my views and these people dont even know me. What sort of advice is she looking for that we havent weathered together for 4 years and we are still going on. In fact what ever. Am done with this episode. Whatever. I will fulfill her wishes so that this castigations will end and i will be in peace. Because there is no way i can ever forgive her for this humilation and if we are even together back, this issue will now truely rise every now and then. It was never an issue to me but it will now be an issue to me. I will have to accept that religious discrimination is truely alive and i am an endangered specie because of my views. I was deluded it will work and was planning to make sure it works to prove people wrong. I accept i was betting on the wrong horse and for those insulting Labake, she has done more for me today that i could imagine. Showing me this website makes me appreciate her more. I could have continued living a false life with Sia and not knowing she had the capacity to stab me in front of strangers. Now i know better and who i can truely call my friends

COMON!!!! How can you let the views of STRANGERS mean so much to you??!!! We would not have even known so much if you had not come on to respond. You should have read this post and gone to talk with her about it not start posting back. It is really not necessary.

Now you have discovered that your religious beliefs are a source of worry to her, I would say you should both discuss this and agree. Strangers opinions about you should not make you do deeds that will not in the long run, concern them!!!

@Labake, the road is open to you now, lol,

@streetwize,

No probs. Not just you but whatever floats his boat jare,

ilosiwaju:

You spoke so well up to the bolded part. How will an atheist(someone who believes in no GOD) support a piece of advice with a phrase like "ask god"?
That's the problem bro, how does one acknowledge what he does not believe exists in the first place. Sweat ke? Allah, God, Jesu, Sango, Ogun etc dey see me, i no sweat at all. Sweat on your opinions?? That's self-flatterring, desist from it.

A thread in the religious section, about a christian lady, christian friends and family and an atheist boyfriend and after preaching objectivity to someone earlier, all you could type wasSorry, it's a political problem emanating from the niger-delta.
_{shakes head.}

@Streetwize,

Pls. don't react to this, Not worth it, lol , Neither will I!

@streetwize,

I can now see what atheists do. . . U guys actually ignore the tolerant christains and their advice because as the intolerant atheists you just love to slander christainity and what better way to do that than to find people of your kind on the other side. . .
what about the advice of the christains who told her to think carefully, ask God, and choose wisely, the christains that didn't throw insults at the man. .
U so called atheists just crack me up. . . abeg continue to delude urselves. . .

You and me both o!      

streetwize:

LMAQ!!. .  Labake dey find husbadn abeg. . . no be her fault. . this is what babes do to their friends

Labake don cause kasala o! She wan do take over by force!!!

jagunlabi:

What sort of question is this? You want to tell me that you do not attribute the impending breakup of this two unfortunate couple to the venomous utterances of christians in here. Venomous trashtalks that are firmly based on the scriptures of their evil religion called christianity?

You talk of hatred of christianity, after reading this thread, tell me if it is not justified to loathe a religion that turn people into intolerant, venomous, fanatical bigots who have just managed to destroy a relationship. If you dey for wonderland, me i still dey hia and know what is going on.

lol. Jagunlabi,

People will be intolerant, venomous, fanatical bigots whether xtians or not!!! Being intolernat, venomous etc doesn't have to do with religion. It has to do with the person's attitudes and actions. For me it is not justified to attribute ANYONE'S thots and actions with my beliefs. Meaning, if I choose to believe in God, it is MY decision. Nothing noone says, acts or does will change my choice. IT IS MY CHOICE!!! Noone forced it down my throat as I chose to believe.

Anyone who acts intolerantly, venomuosly, and is a fanatical bigot does not RELIGION to be so!

@Ilosiwaju,

Stop sweating yourself up over my opinions o! As I said you are entitled to your beliefs. And as you said, it's a forum. Was just asking were you got that stuff you confured up and tied to "rash" xtianity's leg is all.

Don't make this about you ok Let it go, You are entitled to your buhaha!!!

@ Be who u r,

Rmbr, her original post did not refer to you as a devil or anything, she actually stated that you are perfect for her and she actually loves you. She's just worried about the future issues is all. What should matter to you is what she actually thinks not what a bunch of TOTAL STRANGERS have to say. Just relax and have a talk with her. Plus, that Labake sef, na wa o!!! People with poke nosing sha!!

jagunlabi:

You are seeing the evil of religion at work here, bawomolo. I am so disgusted right now.

How is dis the work of religion? You people and your hatred sef! Na wa,

Be who u r:

Why are you calling me a monster? Do you know me? What does Atheist money mean? Why the labels and tags. Men Fantasia i will never forgive you for this. Just last night we were laughing so hard on the phone planning our future and not knowing you were trying to set be ablaze in public with people castigating for no reason. All of a sudden am a Monster to you by your friends. Gosh i am totally distraught at work now. I hope i dont get laid off or get a query

I can understand you are distraught, but pls, be objective about this. The guy didn't call you a monster! Noone is labelling you or tagging you o! Take a deep breath and yawn, you should be be able to read objectively after that!

ilosiwaju:

In terms of damages caused, Cancer and AIDS are way behind religion. It's so pathetic. Do you tell you pastor about menstrual discomforts? do your relatives know your favorite se.x positions? Why do you care so much about these people? What makes them qualified to administer your life? Learn from your master jesus, when it came to doing his stuffs, did he not fashi what mary and joseph(his parents o) thought?
Whatever pleases both of you do. Xtianity is a rash movement that will even endorse a woman to continue putting up with an alcoholic wife beater, child molester and promiscous man of a husband just because divorce is"unholy" and as such the woman deserves no fresh start.

If you love him and you can really cope with his atheism, go ahead. Those wey break your heart: no be xtians and muslims dem be?
Plenty nonsense! Dont mind this hypocrites jare, dont deny the human being in you because of some desert-oringinated religions of crazy practices and exclusivity to eternal life.

You are entitled to your belief o! But where did you get dis hullabaloo from

, lol,

Dis is getting more interesting! So, Be who u r, you are so heart broken by this post that you wanna break up with her? Very childish, I think! Poor girl is confused and needs advice and comes to ask from TOTAL strangers on what to do and you think she is reneging on your pact on never to talk about your perdonal issues   We are STRANGERS for cryin out loud!!!

Plus, she painted you out as an ANGEL and I believe it's what she thinks that should matter to you not what a bunch of strangers say.

@Tunnytox,

Thanks for your info. Well, currently checking out the forum. Just checked out the processing times on cic and noticed it had changed. Waoh! That's a relief! Will definately be sending the application in soon.

BTW, Tunnytox, are you also applying or awaiting your PR card or an agent or sumtin?

@Suxes,

Kindly inform me about how your boss filled the Application for Residence Form, the Details of Family Members page. I understand you are expected to fill every member of your family whether accompanying you to Canada or not.

Did your boss add details of his/her parents, siblings or something? I am asking cos if a single person is filling the form, is he/she expected to fill in the details of their parents and siblings? Since if you ever want to bring them over to Canada, they first go back to your form and see what you put down there intially.

Are you suggesting I apply under the skilled worker class (PR)? Cos I don't fit under the Experienced Class since I have neither studied nor worked in Canada before.

It is the waiting period that stops me from applying 4 PR which why I am thinking of the certificate studies in HR route which will enable me under the experienced class.

Yes, it is as it is under the skilled Type A (Professional occupations). Am studying in University of Lagos. Dont wanna lose on both ends if u get my drift, hence, my masters in Nigeria.

The PR one It takes forever!!! to get it. I am in the Human Resources field o! Currently doing my masters degree sef in H.R. Was thinking of getting registered as a CHRP while here so as to help increase my changes of good jobs when I get there. But I think the field is becoming saturated in Canada, not sure though.

Anywayz, keeping my fingers crossed cos I have started checking out some schools that offer graduate certificate studies in HRM.

Lol, U r mistaken o! Probly, sumone else's post. You know you are one of those who responds to queries on Canada so check other posts on Canada to check who might have posted that.

Hotstepper:

@Liss, try and work for at least a year here and apply under "Experienced Class" which is designed specifically for International Students who studies in Canada and people outside with specific skills, well, keep reading all the options and see the best one, You will make it

Thanks for that. Read about the Experienced class but how we both it won't be an easy thing to do except I get in as a student and work for a while. Or is there a way one can work in Canada for at least a year without having gone thru school?

By work, I don't mean Live-in caregiver o! I think my best option is thru school from all I have seen and read.

Of cos not! Still in Nigeria. Just saying what's been holding me back from sending my immigration is all.

@Hotstepper,

Been working for about 3 years now. Just that the period it takes to process a PR is worrisome. Saw on cic.gc dat it could take like 78 months! Been downcast since then. Will take ur advice and be more optimistic now. Just trying to get enuf money before applying maybe thru school or sumtin.

Anywayz, all I am learning is gonna help me for sure.

@ Canuck,

Well said! I have been thinking about this Canada immigration thingy for years but I have never applied bcus until my chances of success are like 85%, I don't intend to apply. The rules have been specified and if I don't meet the requirements, why bother? That's my thought, anyway.

For now, I read up on everything I can to aid me (on & off) when I do actually apply. So I can have great chances of making it. Plus, the money requirement is crazy! And would not want that to stop me, so for now I'm saving, investing etc so as to make over the necessary amount required .
I wouldn't wanna start so low (like washing dishes and crap) so I have to make sure I have enuf money to get re-certified and get a good job.

BTW, can you please provide your own experiences in Canada, like how easy it was for you (or otherwise) to settle down, get a job, ur children's schools and stuff,

This thread has been hilarious. Been laffing my heart out!, lol

I remember this period when petrol and kerosene prices had just seriously gone up and my mum was seriously complaining about it. In order to reduce her worries, I said "shebi, it is just kerosene price that has gone up not cooking gas, that she can still buy her cooking gas now without stress na"

Her response: Alfa jona on bere irungbon! Meaning: The Alfa got burnt and now you are asking where's the Alfa's beard, lol,

follypimpi:

Saw quite a few couple of years back they are now certified wowo chics.

Makes you wonder doesn't it? lol

Comon, guys. Not all this pictures are from naija. Haba!

Hotstepper:

@tunnytox and Liss, thanks for your reply
I will do everything in regards to youth service and not the k-leg cuz I believe that's being corrupt and Nigerians always think that its when you steal money or a politician, u den become corrupt.
Liss, I did Int. development Studies and its only the execs. that stay here and peeps like me sent to any developing country
I have plan B (I'm Canadian born) but I am optimistic that things will work out

@dancewith, wen was the last time u went to Brampton? you will be suprised to see Brampton of 2day

I am glad for you. At least that's settled just in the event that you do get tired of naija.
I quite agree about the corruption thingy but I bet you'ld reconsider the "do everything as regards youth service" if you were posted to states like Plateau, Gombe, Maiduguri or something. Ain't nothing wrong in safeguarding yourself o, sis.

My one advise would be, feel free to serve but pls. ensure you are posted to a place were your life or limp isn't at risk, abeg. Nothing wrong in looking out for yourself if your Govt. won't do so!

, Na wa o! This are serious collections! Whatever happened to collecting stamps, coins, wines and the likes

This one joblessness o! The things way people dey use their minds think, heh, na wa!

@Hotstepper
I salute your courage but for me i believe its always good to at least secure your canadian passport/PR before returning to naija in case things didn't go as planned, its always good to have a plan B
[quote][/quote]

Same here o! I seriously salute her courage! NYSC Seriously? I hope you are going to "runs" it o, cos even those in Nigeria don't end up serving, they just use "leg" to get their certificates! Abeg think long and hard o!

Plus, Development Studies can still be of relevance in Canada, right? I mean not everywhere is developed there too, right?

I doubt I can do this o, person wey get cap no get head , I agree you should at least get your PR first before returning o

hairlista is a beautiful blog
my daily staple for natural hairstyles is always lecoil.tumblr.com
the pictures are seemingly endless, natural hair is sooo versatile, i wouldn't switch back voluntarily

today i took out my two strand twists, fluffed them a bit to get more volume then sealed the tips with my mix of pure shea butter and organic root stimulator olive oil cream

Does this mean your hair is natural?

@poster

thats interesting. i am currently with the woman that we both had a crush on each other back in the days in primary school and people and even her aunty used to call us husband and wife then as faith will have it, we met 2yrs ago again and we were both single and we hit it off from where we atarted and its been great so far apart from the usual ups and downs. lol.

This is interesting! Very rare o! I hope it lasts despite the ups and downs, like those posted, lol

lol, Very funny!

But really "punishing" anyone in your marriage is stupid, childish and lame! As you end up punishing everyone involved, yourself included!

I find it funny when guys/girls believe or assume that they can actually do anything and get away with it, erroneously thinking that the other person will feel it more than they do.

Everyone, (male/female), don't you want peace to reign in your homes? Is it only a woman dat desires peace in her home? Pls. get real.

Jaidey-one:

lol lol,  and i'll get it elsewhere.
i wonder what this women take men for o

Of cos you can get it elsewhere, but then does that punish her alone? You could get diseases and unwanted pregnancies and the likes and cause more havoc than before.

I tire for all this yamayama talk joo,

sect:

You took a break from her cos of your predicament, she gets angry for not being with her during your low period. That means u r at fault and deserved the cold treatment she meted out on you and she thinks she cant have a future with you cos of how you treated her but after all these, you realised your mistake, you sent sincere apologies to her, tried to re-establish your relationship with her after regaining your job and made the effort of going to abuja to apologise in person. Now after all these, she's still furious with you and cant even forgive you, then i dont think you have a future with her either, she doesnt have the spirit of forgiving and that means if you make a mistake in the future, she wont forgive you. If i were u, i'd send a detailed message to her and let her know you are disappointed with her, you made a mistake just like everyone does in a relationship and she cant forgive you, tell her also that you cant have a future with a woman who has an unforgiving character. Abeg 4get about her and move one jooo. . . get another girl and be sure to treat her nicely so u dont make the same mistake twice, you cant kill urself cos of one lady. Gudluck. . .

See the lame advice this one they give! Thank God he found it lame and didn't take your advice as they are now back together
The truth was she was scared! Scared that it might repeat itself in future. She realised she is gold and should not settle for less, plus since she was not married, she could easily leave and move on!

Guys and their yamayama advices, hisses!

This real stupid! You all come and be typing garbage! I mean what happened to communication? and how does she punish you (the man) when you do something wrong?

I pity all you men who take to this advice o! What works in that relationship/marriage might not work in yours o.

For instance, I love spending time on my own, so if you take the children out without me, you would be giving me a break! And if I see that this is the only way to get you to spend time with the children, trust me, I will ensure you keep it up and pretend it bothers me!

All in all, just remember that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander, Nothing is ever this clearcut!
