What about high society weddings that didn't last. Your assumptions is wrong!

Read again.

I said, some turn out right.

Both high and low society.

From observation and experience, once things that ought go normal turns awry at your wedding or weddings; that's the universe telling you there's something wrong with that union.

On some rare occasions, few turn out right.

But, down the road; most have stopped to say,

" OH, all the signs were there but I ignored them"

APC at work.

tishbite41:
Why must you celebrate the downfall of your countryman?!

That's news.

Not celebration. Learn to understand before replying.

Unbelievable.

No news on Nairaland on Israel Adesanya's UFC defeat last night.

No thread.

It's unbelievable.

No Nairaland MOD is aware of Israel Adesanya's defeat last night in the UFC?

Wow. No report on it yet.

NOBODY OWES YOU ANYTHING,LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OFF IT

I hate it when folks like you drop this line,

"Nobody owes you nothing" etc.

True, it's not respectable to depend on anybody or your siblings all your life but, we all need a little help and a little guidance on the street of Life.

Moreso, coming off the African society with its economic toll on the lives of our younger ones:

This OP could be a young female student.
And, if she's from some poor home...and too young to hustle off any legit enterprise on the streets; she could fall prey to the advances of older sex perverts, or lest the worst happens, she succumbs to the charms of the fast lives of her peers and becomes a runs girl.

If you have a younger female sibling, try and help her whenever she's truly in need.

I feel for young Nigerian girls, honestly.

Abike and Eye service na 1 & 2.

That's what's keeping her from job to job.

Not the requisite competence.

donem:
And Janemena

Exactly. And, Kora Obidi.

Axis313:
Na wa o.There is not even an iota of shame for these olosho people,gone are the days that people who practice such professions are ostracized from the society,but now that the society is Westernized,they are even among the prominent members of the society and social influencers.
Morality bar is just going down day by day.
A time will come that women will be walking about naked in public,I mean literally naked and nobody will see anything wrong in that.That time will surely come but not now.

Signs of the times.

Some.of them are social media celebs too.

Some like Blessing CEO.

He proposed 4 days after they met.

Hmm. I wish every couple well.

This man once, abi na twice contested for Nigerian presidency.

It can only be in that country.

sweetonugbu:
they have never seen enugu onitsha express way or enugu port harcourt.

Abeg, I beg you not to mention that road again.

For goodness sake, that road has claimed untold lives.

The mere mention of it sends shivers down my spine.

They go there to make noise, state the obvious and go home.

Let him open his mouth and tell China ( the chief polluter) to cut down on emissions.

That's the country destroying the whole world as it stands today.

That lake is known of its vast crocodiles habitation.

Let's pray the crocodiles are feasting elsewhere.

If he comes back, Ukraine should kiss all these money grants they're getting on war supplies goodbye.

Trump doesn't like playing Daddy with US resources anyhow.

And, of course the border wall will be finished this time.

Having money isn’t the only key to a successful child upbringing.
Nobody can take care of a child more than the mum that gave birth to them
Why can’t the parents take the child along ? Knowing fully well the kind of environment their house is .
The mother and the father are responsible for the death of their child .
Shifting the blame to the nanny is total no .
Money can’t replace good training of a child .
They allowed the child to do as he wish while alive .
It ended up back firing.
The rich are crying and hoping for a poor nanny to blame .

You made the smartest comment nobody is making.

Point number 1 is, anybody ( especially the woman) who knows she's not ready to commit 80% of her time or attention to her new born child or barely grown ward isn't ready to be a mother.

From my understanding, because they're celebs and all that, they had to contract a nanny and cook tasked to oversee the boy round the clock.

Is that sane?

I can excuse Davido.

How busy is Chioma round the clock?
Or round the week? Is she a musician or what?

She's not even a full fledged married wife with many kids etc.

There's nothing like a mother's presence around her kid than that of cooks and nanny.

The child will never grow up as rounded or nurtured as a child well supervised and nurtured by her own mother in those infant stages.

KingOfTheDamned:
Ben Carson was a one in a million chance... There is always the exception to the rule. 99% of single mother kids grow up to be wasted adults , criminals, addicts and deviants

Because he became a known Doctor isn't a big achievement.
Carson is one broken man.
He's full of vile and hate towards his fellow men, especially Africans.
And he's openly envious of Obama and any other well rounded black man like Obama.

And the.jobs mostly ready for fresh migrants are those in the coldest parts of the country.

Half bread is better than nothing.

Check for mental health?

Almost every Nigerian adult is mental albeit undiagnosed or by default.

Nigeria's economy under Abacha was far better than we have now.

Nigeria as a country was far better, in all aspects than now.

Sometimes, the grass in not greener in the distant future but, in where you're coming from...so far as the right persons are manning the right positions.

Abacha terrorized activists but he held sway over the economy.
I wonder, which one is more important to the common man.

LawMan44:
Good morning Folks, I am kindly seeking audience with you on how I could be able to secure a loan of 50,000 naira to take care of my debilitating health and severe condition. I'm living in pain, misery and endless struggles . SUICIDAL thoughts keep flooding my head and right now I'm just existing.

I want someone who can give me a minimum loan of 100k and by December I would have to unfailingly paid back the loan including the accrued interests ...

I am sincerely looking to use my First and Second Degree Certificate as collateral. I'm doing this because there is no help whatsoever and I have no lifeline at all, and that's why I have to resort to plead with the good people on here to give me a listening ear and help with a soft loan.

Advice , Suggestions and Prayers are welcome too.

Hey, were you trying to email me?

Good news but it goes to show that the average Brazilian needs mental check up.

This was the same man they chased away and had him locked up on grounds of corruption and all that went with it.

Suddenly, he's a saint and they're jumping up.and down.

Funny.

Small yansh dey shake.

Goalnaldo:
Yes please as far they are realities

Watch out on Sunday.

Grab a bottle of chilled beer, turn off the lights and huddle close to your loved one.

Fake news.

Goalnaldo:
hmmm. I'm a full grown adult but this your dream sent shivers down my spine. Thank God I didn't read it in the night

I'm sorry it scared you.

Some of us have lived a life or would I say had experiences far more terrifying than dreams.

Do you want me to continue?

camri:
did you use brighter grammar?

.

I can't quite say.

We had good, dedicated teachers.

Moreso, we learned with little or no distraction(s) unlike today's techno world of gadgets and screen time.

No phones. Little TV. More books and competition.

That shapes one.

Goalnaldo:
You didn't complete your story.

Continued....

So, as we woke and recounted our dreams, it was like we dreamed inside the same head.

It was one and the same dream through and through.

In the dream, a certain monstrous entity with eight legs like that of a spider and a face of a woman with long hair which trailed the annals and pathways of a huge forest chased me up and about, till I came to the banks of this endless sea which seemed like the end of the world.
I halted. And, drifting towards me from the middle of the river was this unmanned canoe. At first, it seemed unmanned, that is.
Strangely, the spider woman was nowhere to be seen.
And I felt relieved.
In that same breath and in a flash I found myself seated in the canoe and next to me was my friend, Jude.
We were bound by our legs in chains. We sat upfront with the endless sea shading the whole view.

Upon looking back, we were shocked to see the monstrous shape of the spider woman as she hovered aboard.
She had no paddle nor steering but in some uncanny way, we could tell she willed our movement through some supernatural whim.

Now, as I described her as I remembered her from the dream; Jude, my friend quite as much concurred:

She stood more than 7 feet tall, her face now assumed a serpentine cast with huge flaming eyes that tore through the stormy night.
Her eight spidery legs were lost in the deck but we could see they seemed to hold two lion cubs captive.

The lion cubs kept squirming as the boat rocked.

I screamed and woke up.

And, that was how Jude's dream ended also.

Goalnaldo:
You didn't complete your story.

I was expecting this from any ardent reader.

I definitely will...had to leave it for work.

I will come back to it tonight.

11pm US time.

Kajaard:
You write well with good English. It's been long I've seen a properly composed post on this platform. Nice one

I had my education in the 90s Nigeria.

Today, our youths learn from the internet.

Education gleaned off the pages of books is far different from online write ups etc.

Let's OBIdiently pray and hope our standards are restored.

Eriokanmi:
I believe you guy. madjune can't be blamed for his unbelief because such a story is always hard to believe but it happens. You saw the ghost because you had never had sex with any girl before. At that age, you just left secondary school with your mind still unpolluted. Only those who have not stained their body with women or men wouid always see such a thing like that or those who have washed their face with juju . This life is a mystery. Only God can decipher it's forms.

Someone in 1993, a friend of mine who just finished from secondary school had a similar experience. He's from ekiti and you know ekiti people for their occupation-farming. He was on his way to their farm to fetch some yam for the weekend. As soon as he left the town behind, he saw this man coming all alone from the farm, towards the outskirts of the town. It was a sunny, desolate and serene afternoon, around 1pm on a Friday as he described it. This man was human from his waist to his head but animal from his waist down. My friend said he was hearing his footsteps so audibly even though he was like 200m away from him. The closer he got, the louder the footsteps. By the time he now got closer, he greeted him, Good afternoon sir, but he said nothing. He repeated, Good afternoon sir, still no response. He said his head swelled and he was feeling uncomfortable. He now looked at him closely. This man didn't say a word till he disappeared from his face as he looked on.

This has nothing to do with sex or Virginity.

I wasn't even a virgin then.

While at the University of Calabar, from which I graduated; I made out time to go the neighboring village time and again and to make inquiries into this incident.
Through hushed tones, they told me lots surrounding that river and it's godess.
