I hired a househelp in October. She is 34 years old. She tells me she wants to get married and that she is not getting any younger.

My mum is around now on a visit and when she heard her saying it, my mum told me to send her away so she will not snatch my husband.

My mum said that people like that when they get too desperate can come up with all kinds of ideas.

I trust my husband but my mum's words have been playing in my head.

I would appreciate your advice.

Thank you.

You may let her go, but do it in a way you remain friends with her. Say, advise her to and if possible, actively help her seek jobs that allow her see and mingle with eligible bachelors, at least that way she leaves your house in good terms

Ttipsy:
Whc one

Why you go say rice and ukwa na rubbish.

That kind statement fit cause war

Ttipsy:
Rubbish abeg pass

Just like cooking ukwa and rice together.
Abeg pass

Abeg no go there o

MASTAkiLLAh:
you have committed yourself with that promise so give her something then during the course of your discussion when she calls to say thank you, bring up the topic of her not coming to see you when you gave birth. She'll likely bring up the excuse of not having any baby gifts that's why she didn't come since (dumb excuse but most likely) of which you'll say her presence was all that matters. Going forward, be careful who you share your one naira with, many takers are very interested people and can get diabolical the moment you stop giving them freebies. Shalom

Are you sure she will even call to say thank you?

I have an uncle that passed on early last year. My daddy told me he's my "uncle" but a distant relation because I don't know him in the village. We only met in lagos here so I think we are related but not close relation. Before he died, I use to send money to him especially during covid. At times he will ask and atimes I will send without him asking me. So when he passed on early last year, I was still sending the little amount I can afford to his wife. Its been 4 months I gave birth and she did not even come to see me. Her house to my house is about 500 transport fare to and fro. She knows there's no how she will come to my house and I won't give her cash even if at all she don't have transport fare.

She called me 2 days ago asking of Christmas money. I told her I will send it but inside me I am not happy honestly. People came from very far distance to visit me when I gave birth but this woman didn't even show concern. Anytime she call me will always be to ask of money. She said all her husband relative has abandoned her.
It is not like I don't have money to give her but her attitude is bad. She has only one daughter which she claimed she's in university. I don't know how true is that
Do you think I should overlook her character and give her the money

I won't say not to give her the money, but since it bothers you, do well to tell her how you feel.

Otulented:
Good one, Dangote go know say mo je only him de for market.

Dey play.

That's what they say until you got to buy it. The marketers will be laughing at you

E sweet abi e no sweet?

It is what it is

And chief security officer is telling us to go and do what exactly?

Originalsly:
True.... but the blame goes back to the sender. He should've verified the info sent ... to make sure the friend got the correct info. If he had done that he would've caught his mistake. Who knows?.... maybe the friend is an illiterate ... think it's easy for an illiterate to notice names don't correlate?... that's if he even looked at the name .... illiterates stay clear of writings!

The kind excuses you guys make, wonderful!

An illiterate literate enough to create a thread on nairaland but not send correct account number

Adebaba1:
both of you at fault
despite the measures banks put to avoid this kind of situations, people will still mess up

in as much OP is at fault of sending wrong account details
the sender should have confirmed with OP if it is the desired account especially when the account name doesn't correspond with the OP's name

You never can tell in what situation the sender sent the money. What if the op was on his neck to do an immediate transfer? Any delay by him would have been seen by the op as reluctance to pay hence the speedy authorization without confirmation.

Obnoxious2001:
Without much epistle, So I sent a wrong account no.,a correct Bank name and account name to a friend who I was expecting some funds from.

No he copied the acct no. And sent the money (to another person, the wrong acct. No. I provided)....

Now we had a discussion which lead to analysing the situation and I told him we both have blames on this transaction, but he doesn't want to acknowledge his fault.

Now the main question is
If you sent money to a wrong bank acct, who is to blame

You are to blame for providing the wrong account. If you sent me an account number and i copied it from your message and posted it, i may not feel the need to check the account name as I didn't make an input that may make me make a mistake.

nonhuman:
it's 3months old according to seller

From experience, that could be the truth and nothing but it.


From the look of the bird, it is old enough, maybe not fed intensively and no use of growth booster. Enjoy

Funnily, this could be older and maybe even healthier for consumption than those bloated ones, probably ingested with addictives that are harmful to boost their growth

nonhuman:
the question is how per kg

Do the maths

Naija my country! Is a Police officer injured along the line of duty supposed to be seeking external help to treat herself?

It's high time those in Rivers state who have conscience say enough is enough to this wike tyranny!
Becos he wants to stay relevant in politics, so Rivers state should go down with it? That means people like former gov odili, omeha and amaechi should be praise for there non interferences with everyday politics in Rivers state.
Wike Attimes forget that death is what no one will escape here on earth....it will come soon to him!

actually, none of the above mentioned former governors succeeded in installing a successor. So it can't be said what they would have done

JASONjnr:
Omo, this is the same market that I used to go because I can relate with the prices.....

Although, ogbono used to be N900, I believe it'd be a thousand bucks now.


And some Tinubu urchins will be defending this government for bringing suffering.


10k is now becoming ordinary.

waw! Ogbono I used to take from the village when I visit home and dump? I dey go find where I keep am now now

If truly he has the support of Riverians, the best option is to initiate their recall from the grassroot.

Normally, anyway wey this fight go, e go really tough unless one person now for the other and I don't see that happening.


The likes of Amaechi may find themselves taking side with the governor to wrestle Woke to a standstill. only time will tell

If a policewoman sees an ordinary person on the street and helps them with their earrings and the moment is captured, una go dey awnnnn up and down, what's the big deal when it is the first lady?

I'm posting this as a response to the topic that made Nairaland front page yesterday; "See What Someone Bought With An Hour Minimum Wage In The UK £10", the link: https://www.nairaland.com/7929193/see-what-someone-bought-hour

UK & US ARE OVER-RATED NIGERIA IS STILL BETTER in terms of cost of living see a practical example why doing a price comparison: 1 pound to 1 naira today is N1,001 so are you saying with £10 x N1,001 = N10,001 you cannot buy everything in that basket and collect change in Nigeria today?

1 Sliced Bread = N800
2 Spaghetti = N1400
1 Gesha = N600
1 live chicken = N3,000
1 75cl soya Oil = N1,400
1 Midium size Butter = N600
2 Gino Tomato paste = N1,000

Total = N8,800 so your change is N1,200 that's if you exchange pound to naira at offical rate and buying at the most expensive stores or high brands. If you exchange at black market rate and buy at public market "days" you will collect as much as N6,000 after buying everything in that basket....that's about £6 left.

LET'S JUST THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND STOP LOOKING AT AND GLORIFYING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND MORE THAN OUR OWN....OUR OWN NA OUR OWN O

Why are you changing pounds to naira? Use the naira you made in one hour to buy it
