The painful thing is that the Biafran war started because some people from one region went to kill some leaders from a particular region even Azikiwe was against Biafra.

I want you to read up the Aburi accord

Hi guys, So it happens I will be meeting my father in law to be for the first time including her brothers. I have met with her mum ones and do call her ones in a while.

Please I need advise on how to make the meeting go smoothly.

. By now you will agree with me that what is important is your preparedness for marriage proper, not just the wedding ceremony. Guys ought to master how to relate with both families and friends bearing in mind that a lot is being expected from you. However, those that were pleased with your conduct and maturity will always come to your help, especially if you approach them should the need arise

Why Would a Right thinking Woman Turn Children against their Father ?


The Home Could be Hectic and Frustrating , Some Men tend to Leave the Home and decides to Live in Isolation .

What Could be the Reasons ?
My thoughts Apart from a Human Ritualist Father , Murderer father trying to Kill .I don't think there are other reasons good enough for a Woman to Turn Children against their Father .My Opinion..What is yours ?

It's prevalent in homes where the man is either unable to provide for the family or is so busy and tired as to find time to relate with the kids and wife. The world is no longer where it used to be. These days, men live sacrificial lives for the sake of the unity of their family and greatness of their kids

It appears he is still sprawling for more of the genocide in Igboland. I'm beginning to see great sense in Prof Uju Anya's tweets

Since she mentioned names of the suspects' EFCC operatives, the professional approach should have been investigating the allegations rather than outright denial. This media dance is an indication that there may be some truth in her story

With the way this Reno is going, I doubt his motivational tips will make any sense these days

Initially I doubted the tweet. Now I recall why the lawyers' Association in Nigeria withdrew its invitation for him to speak at its conference not too long ago

This style of reporting ought to be penalised.

Hello all,

This is difficult situation for me, my mom's house has been left uncompleted since 2014 just the foundation and probably 2couch were placed ontop since then it's been there because she had to send my siblings and I to higher institution. Now am of age, doing quite well for myself. I think am finally ready to build a house, was thinking about getting a land 100 by 50 and raise 5 bedroom flats... but on the other hand that my mom's building had been left uncompleted since it's a family land, relatives are starting to say somethings and sometimes I could see the shame on my mom's face when she goes to her family compound. Almost every months they always call her to come clear it that it has become harbor for snakes and pests. So I thought why don't I just complete it for her first.


The issue here Is immediately I told my fiancee she said it's a good idea but kicked against it. That I should build mine first, before completing my mom's. That it can wait.

I also confided in a friend of mine, he said almost same thing, that my thing is different from our own. Saying am not the only one my mom gave birth to, if I complete it now I should be ready to share it with my siblings no matter what when the time comes.

I'm confused and need advice on the step to take. I would really want to complete that house for my mom I Know it would mean a lot to her..I'm really confused.

One way or the other somebody has to develop it, if I the first son don't do it now that am financially stable. Then my younger bro will do it, trust me it won't make sense that way that's just my fear.

Guess you are a learned colleague. In my case I later found out the blessings of one's parents especially a mother's keeps you ahead of your siblings. Mine is a testimony. Just use pocket friendly building materials and build her's first, you will thank me later. Good if your siblings contribute, no problem if they don't

Why do people hate these cute Nigerian Local dogs?

They are so lovable and they don't get sick.


What is wrong with the Nigerian Local Breed of dog?

A very wealthy man once came with his dog to the clinic for medical attention but before he came, he had called me. I was really expecting a German shepherd dog or a Rottweiler but lo and behold it was our Nigerian local breed of dog. To be candid, I saw disappointed faces among my staff but I tried to be nice to the man by saying nice things about his dog. We still did our examination and clinical procedures and issued the man his bill which he cleared happily.

Out of curiosity, I asked him why he chose a Local dog. He answered: “I guess I have to answer this question for the rest of my life”. He narrated his story about all the dogs he ever acquired and the sad way they all died. He spoke long about a Caucasian breed he once owned that was more of a companion to him & the way he usually goes to evening walks with that dog. The death of that dog made him give up on keeping dogs entirely but on narrating his story to a friend, his friend told him that our local breeds hardly die of all these diseases so he considered getting one.

I thank God that most members of my staff heard the story. After the man left I raised the question: “But what is wrong with our Nigerian local breed?” One of them said that it belittles the man, that a man of his status should own one of the best breeds available. So I asked again that considering his story about his experience with those breeds they preferred, what can they say? The other echoed that the man must have contacted inexperienced vets to treat his dogs. I only wanted to hear from them. I saw from their views, a resentment for the local breed.
The Nigerian local breed has been called all sorts of names such as “Ekuke”, shit eater, stray dog, local dog, “shinee” to mention but a few. These names are derogatory in nature to make the dog look unimportant and undesirable. “Ekuke” as they are popularly called are the dogs preferred as food for the cultures that eat dog meat popularly called “404” (four-ow-four). They are the cheapest dogs to buy in Nigeria. They are sold as little as one thousand five hundred naira (N1,500) about $10 (ten US dollars).

So what is bad about the Nigerian Local breed?

If you ask many Nigerians that resent this breed of dog the reason why they dislike it, they won’t be able to give you concrete reasons. Many of us have seen very intelligent local breeds. Many of them are trained and used for hunting bush meat by locals in which they perform excellently well. In the rural areas these dogs are usually the best for securing the compound or yard against intruders, although they are good at alerting against strangers. I have seen many of these dogs doing spectacular things but I guess like Jesus said: “A prophet is not recognized in his environment…” I have seen foreigners who prefer our own breed to theirs, pointing out the unique features they possess while we, Nigerians buy books to read about the foreign breeds.
I guess we, Nigerians should start to love our local breed of dogs and also acquire and keep them just like the man in the story above.

Let me tell you a fact that Local Nigerian breeds resist many of the diseases other foreign breeds will die readily from here in Nigeria. So think about it.

Here are some of the dog breeds that make up the Ekuke

Thank you

Don't interfer with her relationship with her husband but keep appealing to her conscience from a distance. It's not good to put yourself in a position where there's a high chance of limiting your prospects in life. You gave out of love and in due time God will bless you if you don't loose faith

Women like it when they are receiving from men. For your peace of mind as a husband; even if you are the one that set-up the restaurant, always pay after eating.

@OP.. You have good morals. She will eventually contact you if the child is yours. Things like this do happen but the good news is that you have decided to be more responsible. Do to her like you will to your sister. She is not likely to be a gold digger but an inexperienced girl confused about love and marriage

I think your husband needs help. His background maybe a contributing factor in what you are passing through. Now that you have a child with him; routing for your ex may not be a solution. First thing is to stop him from cheating on you again. Once he realizes how important it is for him to be more dutiful and responsible to his family, everything will fall in place

That Buhari part got my ribs cracking

May bless every responsible husband and father, your labour shall not be in vain.

Amen.

Just as I was reading this a WhatsApp message popped up. Guess who? Madam infoming me gas has finished. I funded her long list before leaving for work today and I'm told she just came back from the market and has spent all. Maybe I left to harvest money at the office. God will not allow shame to shame us

Good resource for young lawyers

To all the hardworking husbands; God will not allow shame to shame us

Good morning fellow nairalanders, I hope your day is going well though mine didn't start so well. I am a nairalander but I have to open this account for this. I have an issue bothering me, I will try to keep my story as brief as possible.

I am a guy from a humble background. My parents had only two children, myself and my younger sister who is now married with two kids. She had her last baby boy some time early this month. Her marriage with this guy ( my brother inlaw) has been one I considered relatively peaceful. That is from my own perspective knowing that there's no marriage without one or two misunderstanding here or there at some point.

Well, she found out that her husband got another girl pregnant who gave birth to a baby girl. My sister found out after she gave birth to her first son. Her husband was the one that confessed to her that he has another child outside their marriage. They settled the issue and moved on he promised he would end the relationship he had with the baby mama.

Last year, during the Covid19 period, my sister found out that he was still seeing his baby mama after she saw their chats. She confronted him and he denied having anything to do with the baby mama except for sending money for his daughter's upkeep once in a while. It was a big issue which was brought to the attention the two families. They found a way to settle after a lot pleading and talking to the two of them.

To cut the long story short, she sent me screenshots that proves that he is still seeing the baby mama. In one of the screenshot he wants to see her in their normal place and the girl agreed but doesn't want them have sex on this particular occasion. My sister has bad temperament and it is not easy to calm her down when triggered. She's threatening to quit the marriage and I fear she may do something wrong this time around . She is yet to confront her husband because I managed to convince her to keep it on hold till she calms down.

Note : My Dad is late and my younger sister is a house wife hence solely dependent on her husband. Please ignore my grammatical errors. I am putting this out here because I have ran out of ideas.

This is quite humiliating. God shall wipe her tears. Let her stay in her marriage while being more prayerful and resourceful. Some men are not focused
