By definition, a cousin is a relative that is the child of a parent's sibling, this is more specifically referred to as a first cousin.
A cousin is a type of relationship in which relatives are two or more generations away from their most recent common ancestor. For this definition Degrees and removals are used to further specify the relationship.
Regardless, of the degree, the inherited traits will definitely find its way in the lineage because cousins are related by blood.

What about the cousin of your cousin that is not related to you by blood?

While your uncle's children are your cousins, the nephew or niece of your uncle's wife are cousins to your uncle's children but not blood relatives to you.

Since a man is expected to take care of his wife and children in this part of the world, it is only logical for every female to marry at least who can comfortably provide basic things for the family.

Don't insult the girl, just don't get marry when you are broke because no matter how you try to explain, society will frown at you the moment you can't provide for your family.

Exactly. There is nothing wrong with being broke; the problem lies in having a broke mentality. A broke guy may want to manage, but bringing innocent children into the world to suffer and calling it managing is problematic. A mature broke guy should not even consider marriage in this economy. He can date o, but marriage is too far.

Every couple have their own standards like u said and u would agree with me some of them are ridiculous 'standards' ....

Baba I don taya, I agree with you, in fact you are right and I am wrong.

LoveJesus87:
na this kain relationship dey lead to quarell. There is simply no respect here bro and it cannot work for long like that

If you marry some kain Nigerian guys, to show say you get respect nah to dey bow your head and prostrate everyday dey say good morning my lord, his supremacy, his royal highness.

All couples have their own standards; there is no fixed standard. What is acceptable and enjoyable for one couple may not be for another. I don't see how this can lead to disrespect. Couples often engage in playful banter and teasing each other. Disrespect involves disregarding someone's feelings or dishonoring their boundaries. Her husband was not uncomfortable with her jokes, and both of them were willingly engaging in the act and enjoying it. She is not a fool; by now, she must have understood her husband and known her boundaries. If such teasing would make him uncomfortable, she would have avoided it.

LoveJesus87:
which kain cruise be dat
This one went too far nw....of course couples should joke around as friends that they are but this No no no

Which one be no no no? Friendship get rules. Stop putting salt in other people's garri jor. The two parties were having a good time and were even laughing. The in-laws are not complaining, so wetin be the problem?

saasala:
Yes, because he knows it is "Cruise" the wife is catching and not serious one bit. Na so two of them dey play.

Exactly, the wife is just catching cruise. In fact, this is how a relationship should be. Couples should be able to joke around with each other, it is not every time they have to form seriousness.

Some people are just too sensitive. Someone is even quoting Bible verse on top this matter. Na wa o.

There is nothing wrong with marrying a single mother of four. Single mothers are usually very mature.

johnubimago:
It will be described as consanguinity. Though, practiced by many parts of the world. The northern part of Nigeria.In Egypt, around 40% of the population marry a cousin. A 1992 survey in Jordan found that 32% were married to a first cousin; a further 17.3% were married to more distant relatives.67% of marriages in Saudi Arabia are between close relatives as are 54% of all marriages in Kuwait, whereas 18% of all Lebanese were between blood relatives. The incidence of consanguinity was 54.3% among Kuwaiti natives and higher among Bedouins.It has been estimated that 55% of marriages between Pakistani Muslim immigrants in the United Kingdom are between first cousins, where preferential patrilateral parallel cousin marriage, i.e. a man marrying the daughter of his father's brother, is favored.
However, this practice seems widespread and enjoyed by many but the downside of this practice is that it tends to increase the incidences and burdens of genetically related diseases.

single-gene inherited disorders include;
cystic fibrosis,
alpha- and beta-thalassemias,
sickle cell anemia (sickle cell disease),
Marfan syndrome,
fragile X syndrome,
Huntington's disease, and
hemochromatosis.

Examples of multifactorial inheritance include;
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
Alzheimer's disease,
arthritis,
diabetes,
cancer, and
obesity.

Chromosomal abnormalities include; Down syndrome, Turner syndrome.

So, if you want to consider consanguinity because of the love you have for your cousins, please consider the above listed conditions. The list is by no means exhausitible.
Good luck.

What if they are not blood relatives and they are just cousins-in-law?

Let me simplify it. Your uncle's wife's nephews or nieces, or your auntie's husband's nephews or nieces, are your cousins, that are not related to you by blood.

The question is can you marry them since you guys are not related by blood.

There are 20-22 working days in a month. Anything less than N3,000 per hour is low.

Na preeq dey hungry dis one. She go still find more outside. na dere way.

Nigerian girls are Useless. All of them.

Bro dey use sense nah, nah one lady commit the act, nah the whole Nigerian girls you dey insult. If nah guy dey pack yansh up now you no go dey cry like egbere.

She stated the fact, ten million naira is not enough for a big wedding in this economy. A wedding is a memorable occasion, and most people prefer big weddings; some people save towards their wedding. It is better to cut your coat according to your size and stay within your limit. If you can't afford an elaborate wedding, opt for a small wedding. Don't borrow money and accumulate unnecessary debt. A small wedding is still a wedding.

The guy is not alright; why would he just label a lady he doesn't know as an olosho? This behaviour is very common among some guys.

To them, every Nigerian lady is considered an olosho, especially if she is beautiful. Even if the lady were wearing a bra, he would still find an excuse to label her as an olosho.

Righteousness2:
Don't Deceive yourself. Don't let anyone Deceive you. There is no repentance in the Grave. Mercy Expires at Death.

Now is the ACCEPTABLE TIME.
Now that we Have the breath of God in our Nostril is the opportunity to make peace with JESUS CHRIST.
The moment you Depart this earth, it is Over.
What will matter at that moment is if you Had a Genuie relationship with JESUS CHRIST.

I agree with you, but the deed has already been done and cannot be undone. I pray that God, in His infinite mercy, strikes out her sins, comforts her family, and gives her the grace to make it to Heaven. Nobody is above mental health issues. May God not allow you to witness something that is too difficult for you to handle.

Suicide is a sin and is highly discouraged, but the only sin that cannot be forgiven is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. With God, all things are possible, and He said He would have mercy on whom He chooses. God can forgive a person's past, present, and future sins. It is not impossible for someone who has committed suicide to make it to Heaven, but only in exceptional cases. Therefore, it is better not to take the chance.

Two people can commit the same sin and receive different punishments. The thief at the right hand of Jesus and the thief at the left side of Jesus were both sinners, and nowhere was it written that neither of them repented. However, the thief at the right hand side pleased Jesus and immediately received the grace to escape the rot of hell. God can give His Kingdom to anybody, even while the person is still alive.

Can you mention one person that God has ever been so pleased with that went to hell? I am not talking about people that were just favoured, but people that pleased God to the extent that He made a covenant with them. God might have given them a few punishments for their sins, but He forgave them easily. For the same sin they committed, some people might have been given harsher punishments.

If you make a king so impressed or happy with you to the extent that his head swells, out of excitement, he can ask you to wish for anything. That is the same way God behaves when He is pleased. He immediately makes a covenant with the person He is pleased with, and God being a faithful God can never go back on His words. So even when the person misbehaves, His covenant remains.

Roman 2:4 "Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?"

Jude 1:9 “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.”

Roman 2:13 "For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment"

Romans 4:8 - Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Psalm 32:1 "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered"

Lamentations 3:22-23 "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not"

1 Peter 4:8 "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins"

adaperry25:
Is it a Nigerian thing or something? Met 2 ladies already and its same old stuff.

I initiate all chats and calls. If I don't call..no communication..if I don't chat..no communication.

While chatting..you have to ask all the questions and bring up gists.

They can't call u randomly to ask after you.

I don tire o

Trying foreign ladies might not be a bad idea.

Try Ghanaian women.

Also, for guys who are fond of walking around their neighborhood topless, what are you advertising? Please try to cover up. We are tired of seeing your breasts.

Gift in dream present good things, it can be success, love, favour, blessing, promotion or grace. Someone is planning to surprise you or do you a favour. This person may have promised to help you before, or you may soon come across somebody who will assist you.

If you are familiar with the lady you saw and you are in a relationship with her in real life, she cares deeply about you and your relationship with her will be healthy and successful. She will be instrumental in your success.

Many dreams are wasted due to hindrances, so it is best to pray in order to avoid unnecessary obstacles.

🤣I am not a pastor but let me recommend this to you. Fill a bucket with water, kneel beside it, read Psalm 9, Psalm 33 and Psalm 51 to it, and also pray on it. Take out a small portion of the water, probably a cup, and use the rest to bathe. Spray the small portion of water you took out from the bucket on your bed at night before you lay down to sleep. The next morning, fill a bucket with water again, kneel down beside it, read Psalm 85 to it, and pray on it. Then bathe with it.

NSNO:
What exactly are you trying to prove?
You sound like the white man in Jim crow America who believed that the reason blacks were still poor despite the fact that they were no longer slaves was because they were inferior to the white men.

The business game is rigged, even if a woman and a man have the same business acumen, their chances of success are very different.

You have poured out my thoughts. The business game is rigged, and the chances of success for men and women are different.

What he doesn't understand is that there are no self-made billionaires who started from zero. Individuals might have achieved success through their skills, intelligence, or hard work, but without proper connections or support, their efforts might have gone down the drain.

The most intelligent, skilled, and hardworking individuals might not even be successful. It is when preparation meets opportunity that success is generated.

Jeon:
This one is not the trouble.
The trouble is that they will go ahead cheating with nor virgins after getting the virgin as a gf or wife.

Don't mind them they are just making up excuses.

It is not mandatory for men who cannot control their sexual urges to pursue relationships with virgins. Any guy claiming that he is unfaithful to his girlfriend solely because she is a virgin is simply making up excuses; in fact, he is a born liar.

Even if such a man ends up marrying an experienced non-virgin who satisfies him adequately in bed, it is unlikely to make him faithful, or how will he control his urges if he and his wife have a tangible reason to be physically distant for a while?

It is advisable for virgins to be picky and evaluate guys based on their intelligence and maturity.

Haydens:
Are you high when you're typing?

It's like you're talking from experience, sorry bro I can't relate.

Why keep your virginity for investment purpose? Such an investment would most likely not yield the expected profit. The story of the virgin lady who married Davido's P.A, Israel DMW should serve as a lesson to virgins who view virginity as an investment.

Forget all the fancy write-ups about virgins that you see online and in books. Non-virgins have a higher tendency to become rich, as some receive financial assistance, valuable gifts, or opportunities from men. I don't blame them, who wouldn't want to take a break from paying bills and saving up to buy things?

Have a tangible reason to keep your virginity, or better yet, do it for yourself, not because you want a guy to value you. There are a lot of enticements around, and sometimes opportunities will even pass you by. There will be times when you get really frustrated and overwhelmed, but the best way to stay strong is to accept the truth. There is no better reason for virginity than religious belief. To avoid regrets, don't console yourself with unrealistic expectations or by placing elaborate expectations on your future husband.

Virginity is for hardworking individuals, not for visionless dreamers. If you don't do well for yourself, even your female acquaintances who live an indecent life will mock you. One of my acquaintances recently insulted me and boasted about having a better life than mine. A better life? I don't think so, but a better car, sure. Her boyfriend bought her an expensive car, and it was really getting to her head. Though I saved up and inconvenienced myself so much to buy mine, I still ended up schooling the "boyfriend-bought-it-for-me" girl about success. I didn't say too much, but for some reason, she wanted to get violent with me. Why are some ladies so violent? 🤣

You don't understand. I mean victims should email the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) ,who are our Air transport regulators, to report Green Africa.
