Twaci:
I have a very troublesome younger brother. He is our last born, about 3-4yrs, and always manages to get on everyone's nerves, one way or the other.

Whenever he gets on my mum's bad side, she would beat him and he would come running to me. I would ask him what he did wrong, admonish him and place his head on my laps. Then, I would sing his fav. song (My bonnie) to him while I tap him to sleep. Then he would wake up happy and ready to 'find' another person's trouble.

Well yesterday, I got into a row with my mum. We exchanged words and got slapped. In tears, I ran to my room and my little bro followed me.

He sat beside me for sometime and then asked softly, "An-twaci....." (Mind u, he is the one responsible for my moniker), "....what did you do?".

I stared back dumbly. I couldn't tell him. So I settled with, "I spoke back to mummy. Its a very bad thing to do".

He nodded, then tapped his small laps, "Lie down".

I stifled a surprised smile and obeyed gently knowing that my full weight would hurt him, "Okay".

Then he said, "Don't talk back at mummy, u hear?". I nodded, "Okay".

To my further surprise, he tapped my head gently and sang "My bonnie".

I smiled and feigned sleep cause I knew he wouldn't stop till I had slept. When he was sure I had 'slept-off', he dozed off in the same position.

This experience taught me a lot about a child's love and I thought I should share it. Children learn from the way u treat them, either good or bad. How do u treat them? (Food for thought).

NB: I apologized to mumsi and we are good now.

Do recount your experiences with kids (yours children or not), let's learn from the 'ants'.

And to add, I don't see anything wrong here. One thing is reading and one thing is understanding what you read. From the way nairaland presented this case its now clear that nairaland has become a racist forum and will soon go down. Watch and see, back to the topic. The girl didn't sell the child, she couldn't take care of her and a widow offered to help her take care of the child and the woman gave her 20,000 which she is to pay back when she got they money and take her child back in agreement to that, they signed an agreement. I don't see why the police should arrest anyone here cause they didn't kill the child or dumped her. I hate tribalism with passion

Will fashola run? Atiku,Amaechi, Tinubu and even the person saying this trash,will they run?

Nothing will happen here,as long has the EFCC,ICPC and Court have failed to do their job in this country nothing will happen to them...

This is not military rule where you do things by force,you have to follow laid down rules and while doing that,remember it will pass through some people or rules before anything can be done..

So tell him to wait till then before he start saying rubbish.

As much as I would like to believe this story, it sounds more like a FICTION to me. Firstly, the interview you gate crashed wasn't even the first stage! So I wonder how your name was smuggled in almost at the tail end of the Recruitment exercise. If it were to be a government firm, I wouldn't have been surprised! coz there're loads of Ghost workers in there. Secondly, INDUCTION is the last thing after certificate verification and upon acceptance of employment. So wondering which firm or organisation would Induct their staff before verification of document? Bros!! I wish you Goodluck in your FRONT PAGE bid.

As a sequel to my earlier posting,there's a latest development. My father- in- law stormed our house unannounced today and I definitely knew the purpose. He went round and round coming to the conclusion that I allow my sister in law stay with us for some time.I stood my ground and he was about leaving,he gave the parting shot that the lady would stay with us.That was when I lost my cool,letting him know that he can only advise me, but not come and impose his decision on me in my own house.He felt offended that I was arrogant to have boasted that the house belongs to me.He left for his base.I tried apologising to him if I was rude,but frankly there were no ways to assert and express myself.

they split up few months ago. After so much drag.. They're really good friends now.. Which actually feels a little unhealthy..

dam007:
my friend recently came to me seeking advice coserning his relationship! He has a lovely girlfriend with whom he's been in a relationship for close to four years.. Their relationship has been really smooth as they were best friends before dating and even got closer as they started dating.. They had few ups and downs but did't stop believing in eachother... To cut it short.. It was almost 4 years when they both found out one of them was "AS" and the other "SS" (as in genotype). they've come a long way and are not finding it easy doing without each other... Now its close to five years.. They're still in love with eachother and are still holding on... Please people.. Advice..!!!

dam007:
Funny how men view things these days... I'm of the opinion that some things aren't supposed to be ignored regardless of the influence of our colleagues... Helping one's spouse with some house chores isn't mandatory but I feel men frown at it because it looks #demeaning to them as the man of the house.. Here's my view as regards this.. I help my partner with some of "our house chores" when its clear that she's too tired to or for Some reasons unable to do it all.. To me, I do it not because I should, nor because I'm mandated to but because its our house.. Ps I'd love more opinions happy nairalanders!...

so Mandela included KUKU in the statement he made is it an Afrikaan language word? For God sake this man is resting in his Grave don't wake him up with your lies

mutter:
Please which part of the country is this taking place?

ileobatojo:


I don't personally know any cases they have dealt with. I learned of them on nairaland myself. From what I heard though they will do a much better job than what the police did. And you can remain anonymous when you contact them I believe.

There is some information about what they do in the link I posted, if you look around their site a bit.

ileobatojo:
I believe Naptip is the organization you need to contact, if I'm not mistaken. Here's a link to their different phone numbers and addresses by state.

http://www.naptip.gov.ng/contactus.html

Please contact them asap. God bless you for your concern for this poor child.
