Make dem do am back to back first before they can sit at the table of men. For all we know, they may just be a fluke like Leicester.

Hater spotted here. Let celebrate every win like it's gon be your last.

Calafiori, what was that?

The guy is an idiot. Was he trying to be a striker or what? God knows I don't like him one bit.

Demigod22:
Our generation is not cut out for marriage. We are too sophisticated and nonconformists to respect the values in which marriage is built upon.

This here is screaming danger.

I have my SIL staying with us and some times, I look at her and pity whoever is gonna marry her or the kind of wife she's gonna be.

I pray God help this generation of young adults.

Madness is what Nigerians took to Canada

Don't generalize, not all of us.

Just unfortunate how incidents like this influence policies that keep changing every time.

RollinTNDA:
Women judge men by their future
Men judge women by their past

You're right but I think only the wise and patient ones stay with a man they believe has a good future.

The foolish ones among them live for the now. They are not even wise enough to observe and know a guy with an amazing future.

Thank you for sharing something this personal — your thoughtfulness and sense of responsibility are clear in every word. You're caught in a very human tension: between duty and desire, family and self, stability and growth.

Let me be honest with you, from both a practical and emotional perspective:

💬 The Truth Is: Both Sides Matter Deeply
On one hand, your parents are aging and you are currently their closest support system. They likely feel more secure just knowing you’re around — even if you don’t do everything yourself.

On the other hand, you’re a grown man with your own dreams, and it’s completely natural and necessary to want to move on — to build your own life, relationship, and legacy.

This is not selfishness. This is life unfolding. It’s not “either them or you” — the goal is to find a balance.

🧩 Let’s Break It Down:
1. You Deserve to Move Forward
You’ve worked hard, become financially stable, and now want to build your own family. That’s not just a wish — it’s a vital life stage. Suppressing that desire too long can lead to frustration, regret, or even resentment. You’re not just living for your parents — you are also allowed to live for yourself.

2. Your Parents’ Needs Are Real Too
Yes, they are old. Yes, they depend on you. And yes, things may become chaotic if you just disappear. But that doesn’t mean you must put your life permanently on hold. What they need is support — not your entire presence 24/7.

💡 Practical Steps Forward
Instead of viewing this as a “stay or leave” decision, build a gradual and supportive transition plan:

✅ 1. Talk to Your Parents
Have a gentle but honest conversation. Reassure them of your love and commitment to their well-being — even if you’re not physically living with them.

✅ 2. Stay Close By (If Possible)
Can you move out but remain within the same city or neighborhood? This keeps you close enough to help and check in regularly, while still giving you the space to build your own life.

✅ 3. Hire or Assign Help
If finances allow, hire a trusted caregiver — even if it’s for a few hours daily or weekly. Alternatively, see if a trusted neighbor, church/community member, or even a rotating sibling visit schedule can help reduce the burden.

✅ 4. Use Technology
Set up security cameras, smart home devices, or medication reminders. Regular video calls can help them feel your presence. Technology can bridge part of the gap when you’re not there.

✅ 5. Build a Routine of Support
Create a routine: grocery runs, weekend check-ins, house maintenance, etc. This provides them with structure and reassurance even if you’re not living under the same roof.

❤️ Final Word: You’re Not Abandoning Them
You are not leaving them out of carelessness — you are growing, and that’s what they raised you for. The best gift you can give them is not just daily presence — it’s becoming fulfilled, strong, and able to care for them in deeper ways.

You can leave the house, but not leave their lives. There’s a way to be a good son and build your own life.

OP if you're still reading, this is a more objective take. God guide you

SisterAnn:
Op, by adopting a child for them, do you mean adopting infants or adopting grown up children for your aged parents?

I don't know why nobody is seeing the "cruise"

I really don't understand too.
Guess adopt is not the word to be used.

CaptainFM1:
You know with this post, you have created something to make the boy feel very bad later in future.

Not every thing needs to come on social media.

Even the adults at the background asking those rhetorics without emotions didn't do well.

I almost cried watching the video.

etrouble:
Death is a useless coward. Let him come out and face us nah. Man to man, let’s settle this once and for all.

Death. Na me dey call you, come out and face us, man to man, if you no comot to face us, then Ogun kill your Mama there, you useless coward

Leemzyy:

You are a tribal id*ot.
People like you don't know anything but come online to express their stupidity without shame.
And mind you I'm yoruba.

Leemzyy:
Hmm its earn not hen,yoruba and their accent

It's earned.

AfahaAbia:
What's the benefit of this thread. How does your trip add to anyone here. Just shut your mouth and travel to your destination.

Hope all is well.
God will heal you.

duduade:
Yeah fatigue

To think facing Chelsea on Tuesday is still there

I hope they play better.
All the best to them.

holluwai:
Facts, fatigue but winning with 2 goals isn’t anything close to worst performance.

Funny how you measured performance by goals.
Yea, two goals, you are happy but did you really watch the game? Did you see how they played?
Anyways, all the best to them this season.

Arsenal's worst performance of the season so far.
Fatigue I believe.

Arsenal is tired.
I think they might loose this game if care is not taken.

Felabrity:
Unai Emery just got himself a new hater

Him papa

Oga you can't hate him jor.
Afterall, you guys sacked him.

Snowx:

Arsenal has been cursed never to win the PL!
This is terrible.

Zynchenko can over hold ball hen

tefishy:
I love brainy women

Which means you're sapiosexual in orientation

pansophist:
Material things shouldn't define you. I understand that Nigeria is a heavily materialized society, but you must resist that pressure. I won't judge you if you haven't swum before, or eat in a five-star restaurant, or entered a plane.

I would be more interested to be the person that gives you that experience. I want to see your reaction and laugh at you (in a cheerful way) as you react when the plane takes off.

The only thing I will judge you with is your character, not your material state. This is the way of the strong and refined individual. Anyone who ignores your character no matter how rotten, but respects you for your money, should stay away from such a person.

The way Nigerians respect corrupt and wealthy politicians, if it's me, you will probably get a snub at best, or a punch at worse. I don't care about people's money, but character.

God bless you.
I also respect integrity of people because it says a lot about everything they are and have.

Ok

The lecturer that was killed by Lion in OAU thought the Lion was his friend since he had been caring for it right since it was born in the Zoo...Did the Lion not chop the man? So, given the opportunity, your Male friends will chop you.

He is already chopping her

No harm in trying

I have a good paying job here in Canada. Just still very passionate about Naija. Thank you.

Up Naija
Time to count your loss and move on.

Ivory Coast deserve to win in all sincerity.

Foolish Coach.

I wish SE all the best with this rubbish they are playing

Wotowotoman:
Make we no lie Côte d’Ivoire deserves that goal. Infact, they deserve to win.. Naija has been very poor..

Well deserved.

Temi2468:
Na nonsense Nigeria dey play!

Even to hold ball for 1min, we no fit.
The pressure is unnecessary.

Don't mind them.
They can't keep ball on the ground for one minute.
