You already made the mistake of getting her pregnant, don't make the mistake of marrying her. The mistake of getting her pregnant is enough to handle, don't add more to the table.

I like the way u argue - with logic, not emotionally like most Nlanders.

So u think all these below are coincidences?

Olga Beno

Olga suffered a severe stroke of bad luck when she was diagnosed with cancer shortly before the end of 2016, she was facing financial ruin due to medical bills. She was finally forced to sell her house due to the strain on her finances.

She was just about to give up hope when the unbelievable happened: the exact same lottery numbers she had dreamt about almost 30 years earlier were finally drawn on the 28th of December. The determined dreamer had hit the huge jackpot of the Atlantic Lottery! As one of two lucky players, Olga claimed her share of the lottery win which amounted to 5,366,704 Canadian dollars and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.

Deana Sampson

Deana Sampson dreamt of her deceased brother the night before the draw and he told her she would win the jackpot. Little did she know that her dream was to prove prophetic.

Life for Deana, a mother of two, was pretty hard before she won the lottery. Not only did she suffer through several deaths of close family members in a short period of time, her brother also, unfortunately, passed away. On top of all this, she was also under immense financial strain.

Then the unexpected happened. Her lottery numbers finally popped out the lotto machine one Wednesday evening. Her perseverance had eventually paid off and she took home the jackpot of around £5.4 million.

Mary Wollens

Mary Wollens at the age of 86 bought a Quickpick with the numbers 1, 10, 18, 24, 31 and 46 for the draw that took place on the 30th of September 2006.
 
She told lottery officials that it was a few days before the draw took place that she dreamed of a lottery ticket with her numbers. She said that the dream was so vivid that she was convinced she would win.

The Smith Family

PlayUSALotteries.com players might remember the story of the Smith family who won the massive $429.000.000 Powerball jackpot and told lottery officials that their winning numbers were picked by divine intervention.

Valerie Arthur, who acted as a spokesperson for the family during the press conference, revealed that the lucky combination came to her mother in a dream.

“Lucky Family” win $189 million

The winners of the $189.000.000 Mega Millions jackpot in October 2013 opted to keep their identity private.

What they did, however, reveal was that one of the winners dreamed of his relatives saying the lucky numbers the night before he bought 10 Mega Millions tickets.
First of all, there is a possibility that they could be lying or exaggerating things and there is also a possibility that their testimonies could have some elements of truth. However, I shall, in my preceding argument, assume that the dreams they talked about happened.

As expected, we can see that the time between when the dreams occurred and when they hit the jackpot varies. The shortest time was a night before the lottery win (as seen in the lucky family's case). Why didn't other lottery winners have theirs a night before? If a spirit can see events thirty years from now, can't it see what will happen tomorrow and can't it be specific with the time of the given jackpot? Why are they not all given the lucky numbers for the very next jackpot? Why do some of them get the numbers without a specific date and have to waste money on tickets for many years before hitting the jackpot? Perhaps, the spiritual can be described in such a way that permits these discrepancies and pettiness. Such description would be a hypothesis that have no proof and no good reason to be embraced as facts.

Can you tell me with boldness that some lottery players who have died without winning a dime, despite spending much, didn't dream of "winning" combinations? grin Can you say for sure there are no lottery players who have dreamt specific dates and combinations but were disappointed? grin Even if there are such cases of this kind of disappointment, would you hear it in the news? Highest, it shrugged off as "just a dream" and the player goes for another ticket. If having gone through such disappointment and a similar dream, with a different combination, surfaces and it is successful, you will only get to hear of the "successful" dream while other past "unsuccessful" ones are swept under the carpet. It's all coincidence. Among religious folks, prayers that are "successful" are seen as evidence for god even though all they even accomplish are things that are natural however the odds.

Let's us not forget that sometimes, we could be so mentally and emotionally involved in something and desperate about it that they show up in dreams (in any form or trace with varying degrees of coherency). Given this, should it come as a surprise that most winners are dedicated players? I once dreamt that Chelsea will defeat Man Utd in the 2008 ucl final with a score of 2-0 but you know how that turned out. grin I once dreamt that I would acquire a certain video game and I did. Think about your dreams that came to pass and the ones that didn't and tell me if this unreliable prediction tool (dream) shouldn't be passed off as randomised.
FamilyRe: Why Do Some Pastors Advise Unemployed Men To Marry? by Martinez39(m): 6:41pm On Nov 07, 2019
Micholawoye:
Good morning Nairaland family. I have noticed that some pastors will tell unemployed single men to marry and that when they get married and start having kids, that things will begin to get easier for them in life.

Sometimes they say things Luke when you get married, the star of the woman and yours work together to make things easier and give you better things in life.

I used to laugh at this until about a month ago and a pastor I know told me the same thing.
Please how true is this? I need advice from people with such experiences. Pardon my English please.

Thank you and God bless.

But it was not a random guess. He was GIVEN the numbers. There was a 1 in 20 million chance. If there was a 1 in 20 million chance of something happening and u r sure it would happen because you were given the exact answer, I’d say there is something supernatural involved
It's a coincidence. Random guesses themselves, as far as lotteries are concerned, are one in almost 300,000,000. His guess matching the winning numbers was a coincidence. Why wasn't he given the date and time the numbers would be the winning numbers? Why wasn't he given the winning numbers of the next jackpot instead of making him wait and waste money for 25 years? Isn't the spiritual capable? It was all a coincidence. His numbers could have won at any time. It could have been 10, 20, 50, 70 or 100 years after he was "given".

CanadaOrBust:
U don’t think there is any spiritual involved here? He was SURE. How is that possible?
Islam suicide bombers are SURE that Allah is the supreme God. Christians are SURE that Yahweh is the supreme god. Atheists are SURE that both gods are nonexistent. Certain people are SURE that the earth is flat. Being SURE of something doesn't mean that the spiritual is involved. The guy's blind faith coincidentally accorded with the winning numbers. If something spiritual was involved, why didn't he win it at the first try? Why did it take twenty-five years? grin

Being SURE doesn't also mean that what you are sure of is truth. If it were true, it would mean that the earth is both flat and globe shaped. It would also mean that many different gods are supreme and the same time don't exist.

If twenty-five years ago, I said that Levante will beat FC Barcelona 3 - 1 and it happened last week, does it mean that I had spiritual backing? Why should this be coincidental? If I said I was SURE this result was going to happen, would you think I had spiritual backing?

You and ubunja should know that Chenzen = GreenMist21. Chenzen's Untold Secrets did not sell and take off like Ubunja's miseducations and iLegend's books. She is now looking for attention using the GreenMist21 moniker.

BTW, Sandra8, blackivy27, and missghosted, the supposed female miseducationists, have deactivated their accounts. Blackivy27 later registered with another moniker (I have forgetten the name of her new moniker) but she has ceased from writing female miseducations.

Can you have 3 and half children?
The answer to your question is 3 to 4 children per woman.
Even king Solomon is aware of this that's why he did not insist on sharing the child in two half's among they women dragging ownership of the child.

I know if it were you, you would have done one child divide by two and share half child for both women.

You are so right bro. I had a first hand experience in respect to this.
Met a lady at a function back then. I liked her so much then but she kept refusing my offer for a visit.
After sometime,I gave up but something interesting happened,I used another phone line to call her one particular night and after excanging pleasantries and other things,the next thing she asked me was if I stay in Enugu? I said no and the next question that followed was if I logded in a hotel I said yes. She asked for the address and promised visiting the next morning. The next day, I sharperly went to the hotel and lodged. When she came and saw me,she had no other option than to do the do. Funny sha.When she left, she started whinning me that she knew it was me all along,I just keep laughing at her.
Na so. grin

LilMissFavvy:
However the black woman of today dresses or acts the black man should accept it, or remain single, simple.
How you dress is your business and right whether or not men agree.

The WHITE man isn't perfect, but he sees the opposite sex as his equal, an object to be treated with respect. The BLACK man doesn't see the opposite sex as his equal, but as a lesser being, who should be subjugated and dominated without her having a voice. Another problem with the black man is his ''ego''. The black woman lived in these Injustice for centuries.
Victim mentality and the mentality of being oppressed and marginalised are the packages of feminism which you have sheepishly swallowed. You talk like you are new to earth. Most blacks, for a very long time, have embraced gender equality. What rights do black men have that black women don't? What career or profession are black women barred from? Have you seen black men campaigning to take black women's right away?

Black men are not oppressing you or any woman. Maybe if you stopped seeing sexism and oppression of female gender everywhere, you could have a happy and well-rounded view of things. The misogynistic history of the human race (of which virtually all races are culpable) is much behind us for decades except in many Islamic societies.

The beautiful traits you mentioned below were characteristics of our mothers decades and centuries back, yet such great attributes were rubbished by the black man and taken for granted. Such good traits were seen as ''naivety'' and the black man exploited the situation making evil cultures to afflict women.
This is not true. Such traits are heavily sort after by men even as at now. Just like in the case of Chioma and Davido, such traits invariably opens any man's heart and resources to the woman.

Did you just say black men did not enslave women? I can give you a billion ways which the black man oppressed the female gender,
White, Blacks, Hispanic, Jews etc. all subjugated and marginalised women in the past. That past is well behind us except in many Islamic societies. Do you know that it in Judaism, men are commanded to praise god that they were not born to be women? grin

but I will mention only 5.
1. Female Genital mutilation to destroy a woman's sexual pleasure.
This is, for the most part, an archaic practice born out of ignorance and superstition, not misogyny.

2. Making cultures to place magun on cheating wives, while he philanders as he wishes.
Lol. In the past, polygamy was the order of the day hence a man of many women wasn't frowned upon unlike a woman of many men. Such culture is no longer prevalent. Beside, such culture was shared by a very negligible percentage of black men. Black men of today are in support of equal rights and shun misogyny.

3. In some cultures women drink the water used in washing their dead husband's corpses.
Archaic practice. If archaic practices mean black men are misogynists, then you have to think the same of white men who once thought women shouldn't be allowed to vote and women were only supposed to be housewives and home keepers. Beside, we have a new generation of black and white men who no longer subscribe to this culture, so what's your grievance?

4. Some cultures do not allow women to inherit family property.
Islamic societies.

5. Educating the boy child, and abandoning his female counterparts. Etc
This is in the past except in Islamic societies. Black men are no longer guilty of this. There was a time in Europe and America where women were not allowed to go to school. This is in the past, drop your grievances with black men.

I am not saying that all black men are bad, we got few good ones. The few good ones are termed as ''weak'' by the bad eggs.
Few good ones? I would say we have very very few bad ones as far as misogyny is concerned.

You are liberated and not oppressed. Black men are not trying to take your rights away. The people with the ego are feminists, you included. Stop seeing sexism and oppression/enslavement of women everywhere, stop thinking men intend to eliminate your rights, stop thinking like a victim and exhibit good traits, and you will have a happy, healthy and well-rounded views on things and even relationships.

I don't what the hell is wrong with you. The gun-wielding woman in your picture doesn't disprove the op. That woman is still feminine. Just like lilmissfavvy, you are trying to equat toughness in a woman with masculinity. A woman can be tough and still be feminine. A woman can work in the military and still be feminine. This fact is why such women still get married.

No man wants a masculine woman. That's a fact.

Women these days want to have it all. They want what they want and never want to take responsibility or be held accountable. They want to be 100% career women and 100% mothers. They want to be in control of the relationship and marriage. They want to rub shoulders with men in everything and even boss men. They think they do not need men. They invariably feel that degrees (MSc and PhD) are some sort of holy grails that would make them top women and the best thing to happen since slice bread. Despite all these toxicity and ego, they are hypocrites. They demand that men be the ones to pay and take the blame for every thing even though they are "strong independent women."

What if the school sacks you? They could say they did not pay you to use pidgin. To be one the safe side, it's better to tell them to practice more and revise often instead of using this technique. Just saying.
