Travel / Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by missjekyll: 7:52pm On Sep 15
There are quite a few very politically switched on people on here. There will be a heck of a lot to discuss in the next few months.
Shall we take ourselves off to a new UK/US politics thread? Where we can natter to our hearts content?

This thread is probably best suited to credit card, drivers license issues and the likes...
It's just a thought...what do you think?

i hear you jare.

Not being judgy, just a reminder of her past deeds with sugar zaddy too. Since she also constantly reminds Trump and, previously Biden of their past deeds. Also he wasn't divorced, they were separated, but still legally married. They can try to do damage control but they can't scrub every digital footprint off the internet.😉

Talking about someone not renting out his flats in 1923 as racist jab in 2024. Smh

Okay na my last post on this topic be this. Ire o🏃‍♂️

With all due respect,You were being judgy. As any successful woman can tell you, the first insult people go for is slutshaming. It doesn't work and has no bearing on capability even if it were true. She won that election on her own merits and has held her own ever since. She was Attorney General of california then senator. California o with GDP more than some countries.These were all elective positions.

She is formidable and
I cannot wait to call her Madam President. grin

NB:I m very happy with live factchecking by the moderators. All in all ,very good debate. I ll be watching vance/walz. That ll be a bloodbath,I can tell you for free now.

I really really like walz. Gosh,he is soooo likable and sweet. And he is a social democrat. I m a huge fan and hang on his every word unashamedly.

America is an absolute behemoth in the world. It wont be just America who suffers if demented felon trump wins, we go hear am too as British-Nigerians in both our countries.

Addendum: The Mayor gentleman had been divorced for 10 years before he met Kamala. She was a highly successful lawyer who won the election on her own merits. She proved that by going on to win higher elections in addition to being very effective in all her roles so far.

Even if she was a homewrecker( which she isnt),so what? Does not make any difference to her capabilities. Look to your creepy r**ist candidate and serial cheat first. I wouldn't use this point again if I were you because show me a commandment and I ll send a clip of Trump breaking it.

Can you give a reason why these wealthy countries send billions of £ aids to third world nations, when they know the moneys will be looted.

The USAID almost singlehandedly funded HIV/AIDS treatment in Nigeria as at 2016. What's better ? Give,have some stolen but still get aid to people or don't give at all and people die?

I m a fan of "soft power" . It's saved my life right from birth when the WHO funded the child development clinics where they kept an eye on my weight, immunised me ,taught my parents how to give nutritious feeds and ors . I still have that card. It's in tatters now from me being so old grin

I support the meanstesting of the winter fuel allowance .
(It hasn't been withdrawn,it's now only paid to pensioners who are already on some benefits)

I recognise that this means people who earn even 1 pound over the threshold can fall off a cliffedge. I believe this particular group should receive some form of cushioning payment. But all in all, gone are the days of the stereotypical "poor pensioner".

The state should not be in the business of handing out public money to well off people.

A general rule of thumb for migrants to South Africa would be that if you were to poke hard enough at any particular person you would find some form of misrepresentation or illegality. This should not come as a surprise to anyone who has dealt with mass migration.

The sin is the mother's not the child but you have frustrated people taking their anger out on innocents. Disgusting display makes me want to throw up.


What do you mean by mass migration? That is a far right term and I hold no truck with it.

Romance / Re: My Wife Is Frustrating Me. What Should I Do At This Stage? by missjekyll: 9:48pm On Aug 18
Sapasenator:
You married a woman that has unresolved physiological or mental issues with males in her life before she met you.

Maybe she has been a victim of abuse from her father, brother, uncle or a male figure she once trusted.

When she is triggered maybe by tone of your voice, you automatically become that individual who has hurt her in the past.

She may have to go for counseling and it will take some time for her to get over her past.
It may even be she witnessed in the past an abuse by a man on someone she loves like her mom for example and vows not to allow such in her marriage.
If your marriage is to survive, you guys will have a heart to heart talk.

Your home is your sanctuary and after the stress of work, you should always look forward to going home and not the inverse.

Until this matter is resolved, never have a second child in this marriage.


And where did you get your degree in psychology? OP listen to this at your own risk
Romance / Re: My Wife Is Frustrating Me. What Should I Do At This Stage? by missjekyll: 11:34am On Aug 18
Jacktheripper:
I don’t even know who gave me the idea but I used to think marriage was like a delicious soup, a perfect mix of ingredients that, when cooked just right, becomes something greater than the sum of its parts.

Five years in…

I am starting to wonder if I have been served a plate of overcooked, burnt offerings instead.

Don't get me wrong o, I love my wife. Or at least, I'm pretty sure I still do.

It's just that lately,things with her feels like trying to hug a porcupine - painful, and leaving me wondering why I keep attempting it.

Why?

I usually drag myself through 12-hour shifts at work, working until my eyes blur, all to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table.

Meanwhile, my wife stays home with our son. It should be a fair division of labor, right?

Except lately, I feel like I'm working two full-time jobs: one at my work, and another cleaning up the messes my wife leaves in her wake.

Take last week, for instance…

I came home to find my son with a nasty bump on his forehead.

Well, my wife had been scrolling through TikTok videos while he climbed onto the kitchen counter and took a dive onto the tile floor.

When I suggested maybe she could pay a bit more attention, you'd think I'd accused her of trying to sacrifice our child to Moremi.

"Are you saying I'm a bad mother?" "Do you have any idea how hard it is to watch a toddler every second of every day?" she shouted at me like my manager at work.

I suggested it might be easier if she spent less time debating BBN housemates with her Twitter friends and more time, oh I don't know, actually watching our son. But I have learned that logic and my wife go together about as well as garri and palm oil.

Then there was the great stovetop incident of last month.

I came home to find the kitchen filled with smoke, my wife fanning at our glass-top stove with a dishcloth.

You won’t have guessed what happened.

Apparently, she decided to cook vegetables directly on the stovetop. No pot. No pan. Just leaves sizzling away on the glass surface.

"I was trying a new recipe!" she protested when I asked what in the name of the gods she was thinking. "The blog said to cook the vegetables on high heat!"

I took a deep breath like a supervisor when he had just finished listening to a terrible project defense, channeling the patience of a thousand ancestors. "Sweetheart," I said, as calmly as I could manage, "when recipes say that, they generally assume you're using some kind of cookware."

Her eyes narrowed. "Are you calling me stupid?"

And there it was.

The minefield I step into every time I try to address these... let's call them quirks. Any suggestion, no matter how gently phrased, is met with defensiveness sharper than my mother's best paring knife.

More often than not, I find myself lying awake at night, staring at the ceiling fan as it whirs above us.

I think about the bright-eyed girl I fell in love with, the one whose laugh could light up a room. I wonder where she went, and when she was replaced by this doppelganger who seems to view me as her personal enemy.

Some days, I feel the love I have for her slipping away, like sand through an hourglass.

I catch myself daydreaming about a life where I don't have to constantly be on guard like Arsenal supporters trying to defend why they have never won the UCL.

Where I can come home and relax instead of wondering what new disaster awaits me.

But then my son will come up to me, arms outstretched, babbling "Daddy!" And I'll see my wife eyes in his face, her smile on his lips.

In those moments, I remember why I fell in love with her in the first place.

She called earlier today, her voice tight with that usual tone that always spells trouble. "We need to talk," she said.

Those four words hang in the air as I write this on my laptop.

I know for sure when I get home that I will sit in the car for a long moment, gathering my courage. Whatever awaits me behind that door, I know it will test the very foundations of our marriage.

The 7 year itch has arrived.
You never suggest that a parent was careless with their child. No one will take that.

I think you cannot afford to have a full time housewife. You are taking on too many hours and coming home irritated and angry due to tiredness. ( the vegetables was a minor issue you could have overlooked if you were well rested. I try out recipes all the time,i can explode the cooker if i like. I ll replace it without being told. But she probably wouldnt be able to)

Meanwhile your wife is not happy in her stay at home role. Who would be? She needs adult conversation and earning power.

I suggest marriage counselling if you want to continue enjoying and not enduring your message. Book in an appointment. (Not pastor o,marriage counsellor)
Good luck 👍

Can somebody tell me why the 2nd Niger Bridge was built?

That bridge cost nearly 2 billion dollars.

If you look at the picture, the bridge is within walking distance from the PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING 1st Niger Bridge to the left.

You can walk from one bridge to the next in about 10 minutes!

That 2 billion dollars could have been put to use in more productive ways for the masses.

The south east pressured the FG to build this WHITE ELEPHANT bridge.



Here is the absolutely perfect 1st Niger Bridge.



What was wrong with this bridge, that they had to build a brand new one right next to it for 2 billion dollars?

Meanwhile the much more productive potential Lagos - Calabar coastal highway was lambasted by the SE people as a ''waste of money''!

Even our president having a 100 million dollar plane purchased to fly him around safely was lambasted by Peter Obi and his SE cohorts.

Some of them even saying he should fly with Air Peace.

Yet they backed this useless White Elephant that cost 20 times more than the plane?

Am I missing something here?


You obviously don't live here and know nothing of the disastrous holdups everyday on that Niger bridge. Kindly shut up. Thanks

Or the councillor calling for heads to be cut off? I did not see a single "underlying causes " excuse on this thread.
We all agree that Swift justice was visited on them and rightly so.

That's where we differ. We are not the same QED.
"underlying causes" my boot.
