RomanceRe: My Husband Is Nigerian And He Does This by midnighter(f): 4:40pm On Jan 14, 2020
Anyway, the word "voodoo" is a loaded term that has negative connotations due to colonialism. Would we still feel the same if it were called "traditional medicine" or "native protection"?

I think OP as a native american is familiar with traditional or spiritual concepts that have been taken out of context and demonised by Western agenda, so whatever he tells her wont make her ears bleed.

Whether it has negative spiritual consequences or not, the best way to get the husband to open up (especially as OP is not a Nigerian) is to approach him gently and with an open mind so that he will explain his motivations to her without feeling that he is being attacked. Because the fact that he didnt inform her that he was going to make physical incisions on their son's body speaks volumes.

So I second chigoizie7's good advice.
RomanceRe: What Is Wrong Having A First Date In A Guys House. by midnighter(f): 1:11pm On Jan 14, 2020
Generally Not wise to visit a guy on the first date; if you get raped or sliced up into pieces, you will only have yourself to blame according to Nigerian society. And plus the guy may think youre cheap.

No point mentioning women from other countries as if they act freely in a vacuum; dont you think that the fact that they may feel more comfortable visiting a guy on the fist date is made possible by the better attitude of their men?

Why talk about women from other countries without commenting on the men in those countries? Does it make sense?

Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Says It ‘unintentionally’ Shot Down Ukrainian Jetliner by midnighter(f): 7:16am On Jan 11, 2020
saajus:
You are right but most of them are not mistakes. US military will calculate their losses before they even hit. According to a reliable source, some civilians in those regions harbour terrorists. So, it is always difficult to separate the bad guys for the hit. Bad guys even intentionally use it as a strategy cos they think they won't be hit when they use Civilians for fronting. Remember Palestine did same for Israel in 2015. Hitting Israel from Secondary Schools and other areas where children are in Palestine. Israel iron dome intercepted those Rockets, calculate the trajectory and reply them, then people started saying Israel was killing children.

Oga stop deceiving yourself. Go and search for the details of the Iran deal. Read it for yourself and stop waiting for CNN to tell you what to believe. The details of the deal are online and you can search for it. I read mine online to confirm after hearing what Trump said about it. This is the difference between most of us who Support Trump and haters like you that entirely depend on the likes of CNN and BBC to tell you what to believe. Don't be lazy! Search for the deal online by yourself, study it like I did and then come back here to tell me if what I said about the 14-day notice period is a lie. I challenge you on this!
So what News outlets do you then recommend?

Al-jazeera?

Where should we get info from because I notice that some of these news channels only tell half of the story

I said it. Flying a plane around that airspace at that point in time was extremely stupid. The airline should be ashamed of itself for taking such a crazy risk. What would they gainhuh

The pilots wife warned him not to fly but he insisted on it.

What a waste

You attacked me like I was saying all these right in front of her.

Even as you have a point, do not seek faults to make your point seem valid. It is completely unnecessary.
I am not attacking you or seeking fault anywhere. I was addressing this part of your comment:

So do u think confessing is something easy to do right ? I don’t know even have the strength to face her And narrate everything We did to her , don’t even know where to start from and u are talking like that because u are not in my shoes because if you were in my shoes then you would know how it feels. I did it out of anger and that time I had no remorse but now I feel remorse and regret it but don’t know how to go about it, I said I will do it this evening but anytime I want to open up my heart is beating faster and I’m thinking how the whole family will gang up and beat me then throw me out of the house. It’s not easy for me
Lol shut the hell up my friend! We have been telling you what to do for how many days now and youre still here talking nonsense.

Tomorrow you will still come back here and reply the same thing...oh gosh! What manner of evil is this...Im not a pentecostal but at times those people are also useful...I hereby bind and cast any spirit of IFYJOS in my life, chai!

I agree with you but if you think my honesty and bluntness is me being harsh. Okay.

I'm sorry I'm just not gonna pretend or say what I don't mean to make some people feel good about themselves.
I believe in hitting the nail on the head. Simple!
Its not about pretending. Its about being sensitive to somebody who is emotionally weak at the moment.

Even if you want to say the truth, you say it with wisdom so that the person can get that you have good intentions.

Anyway I still agree with you, on the main. More than this quack who keeps quoting me with crazy diseases in order to sound smart smh

This is just another sign that we are running before we can walk; there need to be good regulations put in place for these things

In 20 years time when all the damage has been done and the analysis has been carried out, we will look back in astonishment at how lax we were with our online practices

There is no need to sound defensive ,I do not hold sway on your believe, but i try to dive into things like this because it is my area of expertise,and i'm sure you cannot possibly undertand it like i do,my words were not that difficult to comprehend but it seems you still don't get the point, what you call 'personal weakness' does not in anyway influence this mental challenges. The fact that you think I disprove treatment further proves you don't understand what I've said at all. I put it to you again that it doesn't matter how strong you think you can face this mental challenges,it's just like autism, no one choses to be autistic,it choses you, so do not get all macho and look down on people going through this it could be you tomorrow. Just like that intense paranoia you have about that THING.
Hahaha you were the one who was very defensive, go back and check your comments!

And for your information you are not the only person who understands diagnostic criteria and treatment of mental illness so just climb your high horse and get out of my mentions my sweetheart!

By the way autistic children on the milder end of the spectrum need to be encouraged to go to school and improve their social interactions so that they will be able to live at least partially independently when theyre older. Thats the whole point; you dont just give up on somebody who has an issue. You find a workable solution that will give them a good chance in the future.

What am i even saying sef, we are all just a bunch of "dumb Nigerians" who should bow down to your superior knowledge, O your royal highness smh dont disturb me please, let me engage with enlightened people whom you are not a part of

Number 1, you are someone's child. Meaning, there is a mother or even parents that love you and need you alive.
You are too harsh in your statements but still have a point! Thats what I was telling that guy.

Even if you are going through pain you still need to realise that there are other people who matter and not just you.

If you are so trapped inside your own thoughts you need somebody to correct you and give you different perspectives instead of pampering you all the time. That girl needed serious help and reorientation to let her see the light at the end of the tunnel

The fact that you called it personal weakness means you've not learn anything and you do not know anything of significance to this discuss. I propose we stop the argument and just hold on to our personal believe sir,don't quote me again pleace.
Lol! Very good. I hope when your child starts wailing that everybody on the internet hates them, you will just leave them to sink further and further into the darkness of their mind because they need to "escape reality"huh

Whether originally from mental health issues or not, a personal weakness is a personal weakness and we all have them and need to work on them.

There is no crime in saying that and if her parents could have recognised that she needed professional help to overcome them, she may still be alive today.

I engaged you because I thought you had an interesting perspective to give but it was really a mistake Smh bye! kiss

You just proved my point, you live in a completely different world and you think those parents don't know that, human minds varies MR,do you know the kind of social contacts or relationships she's had or subjected to everyday, an introvert for that matter with no friends and surely a whole load of bullies calling her a weirdo and you telling me she shouldn't find a means to escape her reality. I can't even begin to explain to y'all cos like I said Nigerians don't understand this things at all and we have the government to blame for that.
Exactly; you are making excuses over nothing my friend. Whats wrong with having a "different" mind? Why is it automatically a disease? What do you mean "escape her reality"? So your advice for a teenager is to escape from realityhuh

If she is not well-socialised or has some anxieties then she needs to be given help, that is send her for volunteering with elderly people, orphans, disabled people etc let her see the other side of life. Or since she's interested in fashion and wants to be a model there are dance/catwalk classes she can attend that will improve her confidence.

You dont coddle people's weakness, you give them the tools to be able to overcome them.

Instead of you to tag social anxiety or depression as a reasonable point of reference for her behaviour, you suddenly jumped to extremes like PTSD and schizophrenia just to sound interesting.

We have a bad attitude to mental health in this country but in this case, it has nothing to do with Nigerians; any enlightened person on the planet will explain this to you. Youre the one who is being timid by overcompensating for personal weakness in a bid to look less "Nigerian".

Just like those ones the other day who insulted "Africans" for being afraid of owls, when countries all over the world cant cope with owls! Inferiority complex everywhere smh

You couldn't be more wrong on that stand,take the case of army veterans with PTSD for instance,are you saying those men do not have the resolve or enough mental training.
Are you saying people are bipolar or schizophrenic because they lack emotional restraint. These things have to do With the mind,it's a powerful alteration and there is little to nothing you can do about it.it doesn't matter how strong you are.
You are going out of pocket; going through the trauma of active combat is in no way comparable to somebody seeking validation for their appearance from strangers who dont owe them any and then making themselves ill from lack of indulgence.

Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia have nothing to do with it either. This girl needed to be given a good talking therapy, some good books/videos and a hobby to take her mind off these things.

Stop making false equivalences. Children who are growing into adulthood need to be taught that not everybody is going to like or admire them, and thats okay. Refusing to bend the whole world and make it "nice" for children is not the same as condemning the person.

no now grin grin cheesy cheesy

At least some people here have over 10 comments here without any insulting words telling her to ask for forgiveness. Those type of people if they stay near here, can be of help to her in seeking apology
With the kind of psychotic derangement she has posted here in the name of "reply", she should never ever in her life think of revealing her location to anybody here.

She is not smart enough to differentiate dishonest persons from genuine ones, which is even why she is in her current mess.

Anyway, meeting with her will be an utter waste of time; she will only succeed in dragging you into her agbero lifestyle and maybe get you beaten up join.

I predicted that by the time the thread reached 32 pages she would still be here repeating the same insanity from 10 pages ago...now look at it cheesy

I will confess this evening, I will confess tomorrow morning, I will confess yesterday night, until the day of Judgement hahaha

The girl's mum blames social media for her daughter's death. The woman should rather blame herself for her daughter's death because from this story, i don't think she did enough to provent her daughter from committing suicide.
I dont think her mother had the right tools to handle the issue. Do parents really understand the billion-dollar psychological machinations behind sites like Instagram?

She probably assumed she would grow out of it
