Ukazi with achara

As a lover of ukazi & achara soup, I reject this one. Not appealing at all.

My eyes eat soup first

Kobojunkie:
When you are dealing with human relationships, expect absolutely no guarantees. That way you can more reasonably sort out the various issues you encounter along the way.

You are right again.

Kobojunkie:
That is a terrible question to ask. You don't shackle a partner because you fear the next person may not be able to satisfy you. That is not marriage but prison camp.

Fortunately & unfortunately, what you said is true but still doesn't guarantee anything.

Kelvin30286063:
On Wednesday 6th of December, I was driving my family from Ondo to Akure to launch a new business.

We plan to start the event at 12 and it was already past 11am so I was rushing. Along Akure road, I saw this three police convoy going in front but they were not very fast.

I have a really fast car so I was like, I should overtake them and be on my way, I flashed the last pickup with about 3 policemen at the back but they didn't make any reaction and didn't gesture for me to go.

The road ahead of us was long and free, no incoming vehicles so I saw it as an opportunity.

After flashing twice again and no response, I decided to overtake all three pickup vehicles quickly so I switched to sport mode and decided to use my pedal shifter to go faster.

As soon as I revved and started overtaking them, they went crazy and started driving zig-zag on the road leaving me absolutely no room to go.

At the end they ran me into the nearly bush and parked me off. One of them decided to use their vehicles to intentionally brush my car while parking me off the road. They all came down, almost 20 of them and started shooting in the air.

They started shouting come down from this car! Hitting my car everywhere with fist and hitting my glass with the tail of their guns. Somehow my window didn't break even after they hit them 5 or 6 times. (Respect to Acura on that)

One of them pointed his gun at my vehicle and was about to shoot. I roll down my glass and started begging them.

My wife was sitting in front with me and my 2 year old daughter was sitting at the back in the hand of a friend we took along with us to act as MC for the occasion.

My wife quickly collected my daughter from the guy and held her to her chest cos she was already panicking and crying.

I think that was what saved our live cos as soon as they saw my daughter, somehow they calm down a little and started trying to drag me out of the car.

I vehemently refused to go down cos I know I will be beaten or even shot. After a few minutes of acting upset, shooting in the air, one of them that was fat and looks like their leader came down from the middle van.

That was the first time I noticed that the middle van was actually covered at the back which means they may be carrying something. They didn't use a bullion van so there was no indication that they were moving money and they didn't use siren either.

Long story short, the big guy that looked like the boss came to me and said why did I overtake them.

I explained that we were in a hurry and I flashed a few times before I attempted to overtake them and I also saw that the road was clear.

He looked at me, looked at my wife, looked at my crying daughter and looked at the guy at the back then asked me to come down that nothing will happen to me, I took my company's ID card and my guy at the back and I came down.

He checked the ID and said don't do that again. The others were shouting he must follow us to the station bla bla bla but he was calm.

Eventually they let us go.

They damaged the bumper of my vehicle in the process.

I know I was in the wrong by overtaking them without anyone gesturing that I can go but seriously, WHAT IS THE RULE TO THAT?
Especially on highway, with a wider road and not within the city.

I had to apologise to my family later cos I know it was a traumatic experience for them and I accepted my fault but I'm still confused on how I was wrong. The road was straight, long, clear of incoming vehicles and I flashed and horned.

Are we expected to follow convoy from wherever we see them to where ever they are going even if they are driving at 80km per hr?

Hmmmmm....so it's everywhere. I have encountered them like 2 times on Enugu - Portharcourt expressway, precisely from Ubakala junction heading to Aba. These guys refused to move.

The only good thing was that the formation they were using was very clear that they don't want to be overtaken. Their 3 cars blocked the whole road & funny enough, they won't tell you anything. They expect you to have sense.

It's always a funny experience. Usually, I'm directly behind them but from a safe distance. So I get to see other drivers who think I'm playing on the road, overtake me, go close to them, try to maneuver, get the message & just fall back behind or beside me or even in front.

The last time I encountered them, one driver was probably so much in a hurry like the OP was & was following them 2 closely. He clearly didn't have sense seeing their formation. They ignored him till they couldn't handle it anymore. Just before Osisioma, they parked & blocked the road then came down with guns pointing at the man. The man was pleading & reversing at the same time. He almost rammed into me cos I was behind him but kinda far cos immediately they stopped, i sensed something was off & stopped too.

Thank God the times I encountered them, they made it easy for me not to overtake. I would have probably done like OP although carrying someone like my mum is another way of not overtaking them because that woman is ready to scream at you till you slow down. She will be telling you not to pass them

But seriously, what's difficult in making it known to everybody to avoid accidents?

The irony of it all will be if you eventually leave her & you both marry other people only for her to give birth & your wife won't.
So the question is, "how are you sure the next person will conceive?

It's really an odd world where strange things are happening. Marry her if you love her enough. You might be pleasantly surprised.

This is not true

I don't understand. What's not true?

It's also important to note that babies who have normal weight gain lose some of the weight over the next few days & weeks after birth but then quickly cover up & start gaining more weight. This is pretty normal.

The next appointment with the doctor after birth should tell you whether your baby is adding weight or not. Be sure to find out.

Lol , which is probably why 7k took you through 15 days. With a fridge and iron it wouldn't have lasted that long. Sorry, I know the cost of living is high but we will get through this.

Says who?

We recharge 5k in my house & we use it with heavy weight appliances ma(all you can think of) & it still pass 15 days. Infact, the last one we recharged have passed 15 days & approaching 1 month.
Then, we pay 2000 a month in the compound for each flat for water.

I admit we don't have up to 20 hours light in a day but the trick about prepaid is not to be wasteful. How? If your fridge or freezer for example freezes sufficiently, turn it off for a while. Turn off unnecessary lights in the house especially in the day. I monitor what I use & how I use it & it's works perfectly for me.

Now imagine if I use only TV & fan & lights, you can imagine how long i will use 7k units.

There are other factors too to consider:
1) Op has constant light more than us so we also use a little generator especially in the evenings if there are no lights & that's money for fuel.

2) Some people work remotely from the house & so can leave appliances like AC/fan, TV, Dstv/Gotv/Dvd/Video games etc on for longer periods than people who go out & turn off those appliances.

3) Some people live in places that are dark even in the day & are not properly ventilated so they have to leave lights & AC/fan on for longer periods of time.

But on average & aside these special factors, if you are not wasteful, you won't spend so much on prepaid & I think it's still better than postpaid.
(Depending on where you live sha).

The whole hiring process for this year has long been concluded (over a month ago) na offer letter (sent to those who are chosen from the in person interview held at workforce gbagada) we dey wait now.
I opened this thread to know if others have received , cause I haven't.

Oh....that's great o!

It's not a scam. I know about it but didn't know they were hiring.

The song is not new na. We have even done it before...

Dating a career lady makes you a career Man. Infact you'd be the one doing most of the OFFICE JOBS for her except you've inferiority complex.

Again... You'll become king of gossip because you'll know everyone and everything in her office.

Just again, don't stay idle and don't always feel dejected because she will always chose her work before you. Get busy and make sure she sees you're grinding.

Office jobs or house chores?

grandstar:


You'd be surprised many would give up their careers if they get a good monthly stipend from their husband.

Imagine giving your wife 700k as monthly allowance, that is if you're making like 5m monthly. I'm sure she'll quit her job without you asking. Even if you pressurize her to stay, she may still leave.

It's not easy waking up 5am, and coming back 9pm, even if the pay is 300k monthly.

This is a warped reasoning. You think people work just for the money? Haven't you seen rich people with fat accounts that still go to work? Haven't you seen wives of rich men that still make money for themselves? Some people just want to be engaged.

If you had said "quit the stressful work" & maybe establish a business so they can devote more time to the home or work remotely, I would have understood. Even though there are business women that are even busier than the so called career women.

Have you thought about what will happen tomorrow if the rich husband dies without putting his house in order, or inlaws take everything from the wife & children or deny them access? Will she still be living like the wife of a rich husband or be stranded?

Biko as a woman, no matter how small, make & have your own money. E get why.

skyoboy:
Joel should not hesitate to apologize immediately to Kenneth (Dami). He already got his punishment. I can’t imagine meeting someone I have been bad to, doing well while I am not. Not to talk of now depending on such person to survive.

Kenneth (Dami) should accept Joel into his house and be good to him. God only wanted to show him a lesson of why it is good to be kind to people.
Kenneth (Dami) may not even think of Japaing if Joel was good to him back then.
Morals
1. Be good to everyone
2. Some inconvenience (bad boss or loss of job) is only preparing you for a better place.

Above all, Kenneth (Dami) should still be careful with Joel. Someone like that (toxic boss) can be jealous of him.

I like the last part.

For me, I will try & help him without him having to stay in my house or even knowing where I work. That's the best I can do.

That you want to forgive someone doesn't mean you be insensitive & let your guard down. I will not abandon him or pay him back in his coin but I refuse to be foolish & careless with him especially in a faraway & strange land.

Hi

Sonnobax15:

Mehnnnnnnn...... funny die.........it shows how the wife has failed woefully as a wife . Because a man who has a peaceful home wouldn't even go outside to have a side chick talk more of going to the extent of buying her a benz...

I wanted to reply you but decided that my peace of mind & sanity is more important & engaging in a discussion or argument with you on this will threaten those

EmekaStanley:
The pay was reasonable but it doesn't matter.

Don't take a job you won't be committed to no matter the pay

Exactly!

We lack a lot of virtues in this country.
No one forced you to taks up the job. If the pay isn't good for you & you don't like the terms & conditions of service, don't accept in the first place or leave when you are tired. But don't misbehave because you want to drive home a point that is not in your place to. I have rejected job offers before. But accepting & then start complaining immediately & acting up shows I'm very irresponsible, childish & even senseless.

We still have a long way to go in this nation. Our mentality is so warped.

zikter:
not this type of offence. And there is nothing like lie about what I said. Each employee has a handbook and company policy where procedures are clearly spelt out including separate chapters on disciplinary measures. The company knows too well they have to follow those steps religiously to avoid legal fireworks.

I had even removed the LIE part before I saw your reply.

But yes, I don't know of any office that will issue warnings & queries even with this offense when it's just the first week of resumption & where, unfortunately, the boss is always around and sees it.

LARRYOBRAIN:
Both you and her are at fault.
Why did the last admin officer left?
How much is her salary?
Why do you employ a late Comer?
Is the office convenient, is there work for her to do?
How many staff, do you have?

What's the relevance & relationship between her conduct & attitude to work and the questions you asked above?

The ONLY valid question in light of the things you wrote above is, "did she accept the offer letter that has the terms or work & her pay?

zikter:
Correctly said, the place is most likely a one man show or without structure. Where I work, for you to sack someone takes a whole lot processes, query, first warning, second warning before sack is considered. Her attitude was bad but she was sacked in a wrong manner

No matter how structured a company is, there are some things you will do & no one will have time to give you queries and warnings. It's OUTRIGHT sack!

lopeshola:
I think one thing you failed to do as a manager was not asking if she has a problem or something disturbing keeping her back everyday. You said she really needed the job yet she came late everyday, that should tell you something is not right. Sometimes we need to know what our staff are going through as an employers, except they aren't ready to discuss their personal issues.

You will be surprised how much she will take it for granted or even misinterpret it if the boss were to act all concerned & caring. Remember we are talking about the first 5 days of resumption here o.

If she were to be a good & responsible employee from the beginning & then along the line she started declining in her input, then I will somehow fault the employer for not showing concern.

Again, you need to be wise to decipher when something is chronic & deliberate & when it's not intentional. If it's the former, she will probably not apologize first until the boss confronts her, not make efforts to change & will not care. And we saw that. For the interview, she was 2 hours late & the first day of resumption, almost 3 hours late. And I'm sure if the boss had come early on the other 3 days, he would have discovered she came late for the 5 days.
But if it's the latter, she will feel bad & remorseful, will apologize to the boss first, make genuine & tangible efforts to change & probably open up to the boss if there's anything outside the office causing her to act that way.

samsard:
If you take a job it's presumed that you are ready to do it. No business owner wants to continually compromise because of personnel excuses.

Gbam!

Or11:
There's something called a warning which is what you could have told her. Try this stunt in a developed world and watch her sue you.

Both you & the 130 people liking your comment are not informed. Go & read up, make inquiries, ask questions or even come to me for information then come back and amend your statement.

Sue him indeed!

Madam even woman date Jesus she go still complain

I don't understand how "MANY MARRIAGES" mean "many women".
So na only woman dey dey inside marriage?

You just want to turn this into female bashing conversation & you want me, a female to join you?
Nah!

He is very right...I have come to understand this a long time ago. Given the opportunity, a lot of people will not:
A) remain in their marriages. They will walk.
B) re-choose their partner again if there's another life.

Even our mothers that the men of this age want us to emulate are not left out.
