Talk to your husband about what you feel..Shikena

planning to do so just wasn't sure if I sounded mean.

Tallesty1:
You have everything you need right?

As far as bills getting payed.am fine but
Am looking at the future we need a home to retire to when we cannot work.
We need a future plan but with all this commitments we have no future. No future savings or plan.

Iam married to the family breadwinner, a very compassionate generous man.
I get all my needs I cannot complain, my concern is his stance in the family he has a total of ten brothers seven of them being gainfully employed. Three are with us abroad the once at home live in the family land so they don't pay rent.
My husband is the only one paying for his father's medical care monthly , his two sisters school fees,supporting the unemployed brother at home, sends his mum monthly upkeep. His two siblings that he brought overseas will not help in anyway.
at this point I want my husband and I to buy a house we can live in when we go home.
Is it right to ask him to persuade the brothers with the family bills so we can establish ourselves too. Am I being selfish?

You want to experience racism just move to a white state, Missouri,Kansas, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota and such, you will know it's real and you not going to be able to do anything, trust me.

Kimoni:
My poor phone habits The nos of missed calls on my phone everyday is alarming.

I have lost friends for not picking calls or call them frequently, I explain to new friends that am not a phone person

Chillisauce:
If they didn't invite you, call and find out why. They better have a good reason for that else move on. They can never be your friend.
Also beware of those giving excuses only to see change in status and they start distrpurbing your phone.

Good friends can come from anywhere regardless of background. You don't need a validation when you see one.

I tell you, it was a birthday, a graduation a house warming, and to make it worse my roommate would be invited and me left out. Then the mean girls(two sisters) would later call me to go places, no explanation nada. I dumped them though and seriously they acted as if they were surprised lol

kemiola89:
You just described me.

Damn I thought I was the only one, and when am on the phone am brief and quick, my phone is never with me lol

Applaner:
so it's now by ur power or age DAT u ve a successful marriage?
sister, ur friend mocking at u earlier doesn't mean u shld mock at her now.


op, de secret to a successful marriage is God.
secondly, our ability to hear and obey God.

Who told you I mocked her, I used her as an example because on top of mocking me she gossiped about me, do I have to feel sorry for her life, no I dont,
Do I know what the future holds for me no I dont, are you a prophet, heck no, so knock it off alreaDy.

I got married at 33, so most of my friends that married at 25 are now divorced or something, single moms,
One that stands in my mind was a friend that looked down on me because she was planning a wedding, she gave me a card and was like when is yours, while she knew I was single like a dollar, then she gossiped even advising me on how to smile to get a man. Years later am married have a small family, that friend called, guessed what the wedding never happen the duded duped her, now at 38 she is still searching.
I have a happy marriage I pray everyday for constant blessing.

tpia6:
Another offshoot of the broken home thread, emotions are running a bit high there.

Have you been unable to form friendships with people you like because of your background or status?

Were they prevented from or were they not interested in befriending you because you're not suitable?

How did you cope with the rejection?

Note, friends, not relationships or dating.

I had this friends that would always act as if we were cool, then they hold a party and not even a word, one day I just erased them from my life.

agarawu23:
the main issue seems to b jealousy and d fact dat I will av to gv dem orders. some are my friends but some are nt.

enemies is everywhere, even God as enemies.

Just do your job to the best, ignore them and lead by example.
God bless.

Avoid by all means being arrogant, I have met many Nigerians abroad especially men who are arrogant beyond anything, hopefully you don't have such traits, you know how people look at us Nigerians abroad,
Show humility, work fairly with everyone, I worked somewhere a Nigerian boss sabotaged another Nigerian co worker to a point of getting her fired.
Why are you getting so much rebellion already, do you get along with your co workers.

Funny stuff

How about this ones, crazy people, they would have broken a neck or nose posing for this picture.

What is wrong with this picture?

I'm not a phone person, I hardly call friends or extended family, I return calls whenever I feel like unless it's emergency, I've actually lost friends because of not calling, trying to work on that.

My precious son is teething no sign of teeth yet, but the drooling, restlessness,crying, God I cannot even do anything in the house anymore, I bought dr hylands toothing gel and tabs they help a lot,can't waith for the tooth to erupt.

Duncan's four children and parents will split the money given to them by Texas Presbyterian hospital for the death of Duncan. Lawyer explained the hospital decided to settle this outside of court as they did not want to go to court for malpractice case. The hospital also promised to help Ebola victims in Liberia.
At least the family gets money, may Duncan rest in peace.

Iam finishing my Ba broadcast journalism, if you are in this field,student, already working, let's share ideologies, opportunities and such
Thanks

For a starter my sister just needs one real good one,made in turkey for her wedding coming up, do you know any good places that make quality wedding gowns.
Iam not sure how many I need for business, depends on the pricing and all that.

shidoshi:
Op is funny and untruthful.
Who deports a traveller without cancellation from the POE. I wonder what op meant by "you can only be deported wen u in the territory " maybe he doesn't know the issuing country can still cancel visa from even the WAiting room right der in the airport! !!!!

Maybe he resisted so much, they had to ship him out as quick as they could without finishing formalities. My thing is his sence of entitlement assuming he knows where he should or should not be deported from,
This poster is lucky had it been US Poe he would be talking from some jail awaiting deportation and ten year ban or forever ban, Uk would put you under, knock you out with some meds until you wake up in Lagos,
Never act as if you resisting something or forcing yourself to someone's land, why did you run back to the embassy immediately. Put proper documents together and try another country you are not welcome to France right now.

LOts of information if you go and look on Google "
"Turkish wholesale clothes sales"
https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Turkish+wholesale+clothes+sales

For example
1. Re: Buying wholesale clothing and accessories from Istanbul
02 February 2013, 22:06

entu_13, welcome to Istanbul.

There are many areas that manufacture and wholesale ladies clothing. These are Osmanbey, Merter, Laleli, Zeytinburnu, Gungoren, Yeni Bosna, etc. However the first three are the most important. You should visit these three areas. but especially Osmanbey and Merter.

Now Osmanbey is one metro stop away from Taksim. So you can stay at Taksim hotels, "taksim.hotelle.com".

You should be looking at the showrooms at Osmanbey which are mostly at Sair Nigar, Haci Mansur and Kodaman streets. Have a look. "http:///maps/e2YJe".

For some links on showrooms, here are some useful websites. "www.osmanbeyfashion.com/eng/bayangiyim.html", and "osmanbeyfashionguide.com/en/kadn-giyim.html". For freight forwarders and an agent, have a look: "www.tradeegypt.com/39174/?link=&id=39174". Finally for further listings, have a look: "http:///9kq5j28". For evening dresses: "www.tekstilportal.com/rehber_v3_en.asp…"

For merter wholesalers, you can have a look: "whocit.com". And finally here are some more companies. "…europages.co.uk/business-directory-europe/d…".

1. The best three places to go are Osmanbey, Merter and Laleli.

2- Check the text above.

3- Kuyumcukent is the place to go for wholesale purchasing of jewelery. For belts, wallets, etc. Again Osmanbey, Merter and Laleli.

4- You can not get info about wholesale prices without being into the showrooms. tell them exactly what you are looking for amd what you want to do.

5- Wholesalers deal either with cash or credit cards. However to get wholesale prices, you need to buy quantity. These are not retail stores. You can bargain if you like for lower prices.

6- I gave you a contact for a freight forwarder at Osmanbey. Ask them all those questions. The best is one shipment alltogether.

7- Check the laws of Estonia for customs duties for importing textiles into the country. You have to do your homework.

8- I already suggested that you stay at Taksim area.

9- Finally I suggest that you visit some malls in Istanbul to see the merchandise also. Cevahir Mall, Kanyon Mall, Trump Towers Mall, and Istinye park Mall are good candidates. They are all on the metroline from Taksim. For Cevahir and Trump Towers, get off at Sisli, for Kanyon get off at Levent, and for Istinye Park get off the metro at ITU-Ayazaga station.

good luck

@ worry where can I find good quality wedding gowns in Turkey?

wip7:
Turkish textile industries are quite large and relatively quality. You will find more than 200 textile industries in izmir, Istanbul and Antalya. For wholesale you will find in bulk around these regions Osmanbey, Laleli, Zeytinburnu and Bursa. Here you will find different designer wholesale stores, factory reps and brands. To get affordable prices, you have to know some particular streets that deals with what you want. For instance, you will find great and affordable cost ladies undies and shirts along Rumeli street at Osmanbey. I know in and out of these region and to answer some of your questions above:

(1) visa: You have to apply for Business visa at Turkish embassy Abuja. This visa category could be very difficult since many people have abused it. But if you get invitation from big companies or wholesale stores then it will be easier and you can find the procedure to secure that on the embassy website.

(2) cloths are cheap compare to European and American sales cost but is highly not comparable to Chinese or African cost prices. Reason been that, Turkish companies or factories are strictly rigid and may not want to adapt to your on specifiction due to their Governmental policies. For example, i want to purchase Anti-theft nail for a company in Nigeria and the company was willing to purchase at 50N per one. Turkish company that produces this type of nail has standard specs and can only sell at landing cost of 45-48N. Same nail can be custom-made for me in most Chinese factories and i got offers ranging from 20-30N unfortunately the company that needs it want Turkish product....so half half cake is better than puffpuff. Ladies cloths quality wholesale ranges from 30-100TL (1TL is currently as it today around 76-78N)..do the maths.

(3) quality: Yes highly quality and trendy and enough designer brands even from other countries but production based in Turkey like Mango, Zara etc.

(4) Flight: you have to ask the airlines or traveling agent since it varies but should be less than 200K.

(5) order online: yes they have some stores online and majorly in Turkish Language but cloths order online are retail not Wholesale cost. For real business you have to visit or find somebody do the job for you.

Wish you luck in your biz!!

@wip where can I find real good quality wedding dresses in turkey?

You probably is blacklisted with France embassy, forget about France for a while then work on your credibility issues,
Next time you go there be overly or more than prepared,
Read travel section here to see what requirements for visas are, and please refrain from going back to push the embassy people.

In a small town south of Italy close to Sicily and Naples, a tiny town called capua, I became an instant celebrity's the young boys made me feel very cute I was only 18, I took so many phone numbers despite language barrier had no idea how I would ever contact them, they send me back home with wine and so many pleasantries.
It was awkward this Zimbabwe lady married to an Italian immediately invited me to her house, a couple that had an adopted a 10 year old Ghanaian girl also invited me, was pleasant though.
Me and hubby are planning a euro trip cannot wait to tour this areas.

kibi:
for me, i believe friend u had while u were younger make better friends as u grow....in essence i hardly make new friends..aquaintances....yes but i cannot be close to them like my childhood friends that weve stayed connected through the years(they are best!!!!!!)

You are so on point, out of the best friends I have in life two are from back in the day, high school and after high school when we were all broke trying to find a niche in life, another one was a neighborhood friend back then, the news ones am meeting in my adult life God knows why they cannot be true to anyone,

duperola:
i once had a seemingly nice friend who i was even callin my cousin back in 100l until i caught her backbitin abt me!since dn,she knew i drew a line

That is funny running into someone backbiting you live! Am glad you cut her off immediately

YungwizzzyPt7:
Girls don't make good friendship like the guys

No wonder most girls like making friends with boys

but you now call it friendzone

You are right men have it better as far as friendships.

@gidjah

I was lonely and desperate when I ran into this friend, I had just moved to a new town, no family, friends not even a church to call home, then on top of it I had a bad abusive boyfriend, so my self esteem was real low nothing to write home about, so you know I warmed up to any friend that showed up my way, without judging them,
Right now am married life is different,
