Next time?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess Nigerians should get ready for another price hike next year!

They'll keep arresting bogus suspects and releasing them. Upside-down government!

Na wa oh, Lady Winona! Please, stop playing with fire. Why dance at the edge of a frying pan because it's fun and exciting? This is how disaster starts; a little sleep, a little slumber, and before you know it, both your families are thrown into disarray. You need to tell him to stop it! You marriage is worth saving. Go and report yourself to your pastor's wife if you can't handle the lust anymore.

I can't marry a woman that doesn't love my Mum. Period. In that sense I am very traditional. The woman leaves her family to join my own family - period. If she can't do that, then she needs to go find herself another man!

Hmmmn, this isn't how Nigerian banks work!!!!!!!!! All they care about is chasing deposits with young beautiful girls!

PS - Shouldn't this be in the business or career sections?

Let's not deceive ourselves. Each parent always has a favorite child. However, the reasons for liking one child just a LITTLE bit more than the rest vary. Sometimes, a child behaves or looks just like the mum or dad. Sometimes, the favorite child is the first child, the brainiest child or the most responsible. Occasionally, the favorite child might be the most athletic or the most outgoing.

I am my Mum's favorite because we share a LOT of similar traits like generosity to the point of foolishness, outgoing character, last-minute planning, quick tempers and strong empathy for others. My younger sister is probably brainier than I am but she is kinda stingy like my Dad and she is the family introvert (she was my Dad's favorite when he was alive). My other siblings are little teenagers and are completely irrelevant because we the adults don't really think too much about them unless its time to buy them clothes/shoes/electronic gadgets and pay their boarding school fees!  They came MUCH later and they have never really fit into our adult world.

Use plain vaseline. Nobody reacts to vaseline.

Oloshi man! I pray he rots in jail and gets regularly serviced by his fellow men. So he couldn't go out to find an ashi, na his daughter he wan use kill body! Oloriburuku oloshi okunrin.

LOL! That's because the meat is usually cooked in the stew! That way, you can change up your vegetable soup (from okra to ewedu to gbegiri) without having to prepare new meat. As for the oil, dunno, I guess you've been eating at too many Mama Put places. You can reduce the oil when cooking at home.

OP get a net like already suggested,but walahi the best method to deal with these nigerian mosquitoes,roaches and insects in general is fumigation but for someone\people living in a compound with neighbors, that may not be an option cos you may not be able to get or keep everyone out of the area for atleast some hours.

Just keep your doors and windows closed early in the mornings\evenings and make sure your surroundings is kept neat devoid of dirty\ stagnant water.
l think mortein works,used it couple of times.

I use queen helen shower milk[b] with egg yolk[/b],its pretty nice.

Egg yolk? Gross!!!!!!!!!

I don't see what the issue is here (but then, I am not familiar with the Igbo culture well enough to know the significance of the wife building the house). With 4 kids, I don't think the woman is going to find another husband. The man needs to tame his ego and let the wife do what's best for the family. With time, his business will pick up and they can use his money to build a second house in the village.

Which Nigerian man do you want her to meet in church?? . That one na high hopes . . lol

Christian men! Where else are you supposed to find a christian man? I know I am going to find my wife in a church! Definitely not in a club.

The best place to meet eligible Nigerian bachelors is through church, professional/academic events/conferences and at wedding parties! It's a bit more difficult in the U.S. because it's such a huge place and Nigerians are scattered every where.

I'll rather build. I can take my time with building and I can build everything to my satisfaction and tastes. What's the point of buying a new house, moving in and discovering all sorts of defects and malfunction a year after moving in? Why buy an old house that has had all sorts of inhabitants and all sorts of structurally unsound renovations?

I discovered that my family had stopped using Baygon and Raid ages ago because of mosquito resistance. Kilit (by Polygard) seems to work well (it's in a yellow and green can).

My Mum is pretty sensitive to strong soaps too. She uses Dove soap.

Fellow nlanders,I have for some time that something was definitely wrong with my marriage,I wanted to be sure not jumping to conlusions,because she always assured me she loves me and we'll be together for ever,but I knew deep down something was wrong that's why I sometimes monitor her,I'm not a sneaky person.consider these,how would you feel if 1.your spouse wakes up around 2/3am sneaks out of the bedroom to receive calls thinking you were asleep.2.how would you feel if your spouse leaves work at 6pm and then one fella comes to pick to bars for 'a drink' and then calls you by 11pm to come pick her up at the bustop cos there was heavy traffic. mind you I have all these facts and even confronted these fellas 3.how would you feel if your spouse continue to refer to her ex as 'babe''darling' 4.how would you feel if your spouse arranged with a guy to take her to a club and then she lied that her collegues at work were having a girls nite out at rehab nite club,of course I refused her anyway. 5. How would you feel wen you see your wife arranging to meet with a guy a bar somewhere on the island. 6.how would you feel wen you see receipts for cowtail and plantain with your wife when she was supposed to be somewhere else,7, your wife sleeps with her fone,u can't catch her without it even in the bathroom.on her Facebook page she never mentions that she's married,you hardly see my pics,though we quarrelled over this(fb) matter,I just decided to let her be.so u see it's been stacking up for a long time,believe me I thought I could make things work,change her at least for the sake of our son,cos I didn't want him to grow up from a broken home,a fate I suffered,and I mentioned this to her severally that I'll do anything to make this marriage survive if only for our son.but I think she had other plans,she got carried away.I needed to be sure of who I was dealing with,what her plans were,so that I don't get caught by surprise,which was according to her what she wanted to do.I didn't want to live a lie or pretence anymore.i just want to forget everything,av handed all to God who sees all,let him judge,if I have bad to her to warrant all these,then I accept.I have been rubbished,embarassed and made a fool of but in all these I thank God.do you know I'm not even her friend on Facebook?my profile pics is one of our wedding pics and I post regularly,so I'm sure she didn't want pple asking her questions.when I confronted the man that usually took her out to bars,he confessed she told him she had left her husband and was now single,he even told me he tried to bed her on two occasions,can u imagine that?I have accepted the facts that the marriage was more or less a sham,will I say I had expected it to turn out the way it did,funny enuff,I normally used style to let her know I knew we would not last,this is a woman that calls me 'babe'.we had the best Christmas last year since we got married,put urselves in my shoes those of u criticising me.would you take all that for that long,I doubt any of you would.

Ogbeni, so sorry that you had to go through this. You got played, big time. Now it's time to re-focus yourself and move on. She'll get what's coming to her in due time.
