Jenny's point-of-view is a little short-sighted here. Plans get derailed all the time and nobody is immune to the occasional upheaval. Yes, planning well is critical to minimize but NOT eliminate all disruptions. |
Family / Re: Husband Has HIV But Wife Does Not Know by moremi2008(m): 8:32am On May 23, 2012 |
I don't think it is in the place of anybody but a close family member or friend to disclose that kind of information to the wife. For all you know, the wife might already know or the husband might be looking for the best time to tell her. Either way, if you have not been a regular guest in their bedroom up to date, I don't see how it is now in your place to barge in now with breaking news. I just wonder at how neighbors know of this man's HIV status but his own wife has no clue; something about the story sounds fishy (except of course, one of his neighbors is an employee at the testing center or the hospital). |

Freesia: The funny thing is that I used to be anguished at the state of things in Nigeria until I realized that the Nigerians that are truly suffering don't really care! Even in America where things are relatively well-run, people protest ALL THE TIME for things like union wages, civil rights, police brutality etc. Nigerians just sit there and wait for God to intervene and "touch the heart" of their leaders. Well, we have been waiting for 52years and nothing has happened so far. Maybe God is testing them like he tested Job or maybe they just have not suffered enough. |

Properties / Re: Mansions In Nigeria (pics) - You Can Post More Pictures by moremi2008(m): 11:37pm On May 22, 2012 |
Godogwu: This is a lie. Few people besides politicians and the very top businessmen have $1million-$2million lying around to build these types of houses. It's no coincidence that a majority of the newer houses that were posted are located in Abuja. My uncle builds premium houses like these in Abuja and I know from several personal conversations with him that a good 70%-80% of the clientele for show-piece Abuja mansions are politicians, ministers and top government workers. Successful people that made their money in the private sector through legitimate means (i.e. "doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers, CEOs, business men and women, actors, artistes" rarely choose to invest that kind of money in a relatively illiquid asset that might sit empty for most of the year (they typically build relatively modest mansions close to where they actually work and live like Lagos/PH). The vast majority of the spanking-new Abuja mansions you see are built with stolen money (ditto for most of the structures on Banana Island). Stop spewing lies if you don't really know what you're talking about. |

Freesia: Awww Shucks!!! So what happens to people who can't afford generators and Nepa is on strike for weeks on end?? They suffer in silence, roast in their own body-heat, and sing-along with the mosquitoes. Their lot won't get any better until they realize that they deserve better and go fight for their rights on the streets. Nothing good comes to those who wait in perpetuity. 1 Like |

@ OP, you haven't completely exhausted your current options. Try IVF. It's pricey but it works especially in cases where the doctors can't find anything obviously wrong. Divorcing your wife of 10years is unnecessary and a bit short-sighed in my opinion. |

chaircover: Hmmmmmmm efe I am going to smack you ooooo!!!! I agree with Chaircover. At a certain point, investing in higher education for the purposes of higher pay is not advisable; the returns to that extra education are not worth the cost. Besides, where is the money for additional school going to come from? Loans? It's just too risky, especially in the UK's double-dip recession. Nothing is worse that seeing older students saddled with loans and no job! Recessions are typically cyclical and the UK can't be in a recession forever (and I have been hearing nothing but terrible things about the UK lately). Just have a little patience and consider additional sources of income (like an extra job) to create some excess income for savings. To be honest, things could be much worse! Haven't you been reading the horror stories on here lately about unhappy homes and terror husbands? Just thank God and keep your faith up. Things will turn around if you keep working hard and looking for creative ways to earn extra money. Hopefully, this economic cycle is over quickly! |

chaircover: i think it is the mindset. We go with a mind of going "home" to have a holiday and enjoying ourselves. The kids go every year so it is becoming second nature to them. This last time the older kid was in charge of the gen (with supervision of course) I think it's easier when you have a place you're familiar with. When I go back, I stay in the house I grew up in. My teenage room is still the same (although it has been renovated and all my 2pac and DMX posters are gone! ). My mum knows everything I like so I never have any headaches. She knows to reserve one driver plus one Eshin for my use (God forbid I brave Lagos traffic by myself) and to load up on Eva. She knows I don't play with my internet so she has her assistant triple check that it's good to go and the card is loaded up. She makes sure the diesel tank is full and she knows to tell everybody that the gen cannot be turned off until I am verifiable asleep around midnight and it must be turned on by 6am (they also know to "fleet" my room every evening). She knows that I don't eat outside the house so she makes sure all the foods I like are well stocked (I must chop Bush meat + snails + amala/pounded yam every night oh or fight go dey! Too bad she refuses adamantly to stock beer in her house!). My mum still likes to live like a village woman with minimal generator and no internet, so I know my visits always cause her to go the extra mile. To make her "more eager", I give her 2k per week for "owo obe". My mama too like dollars, she has never refused the money but it's worth it cuz I have never had cause to complain after a trip home (i honestly couldn't get better treatment at a 5-star hotel). Bottom line, if you go regularly enough, your people will know how you like things and make sure you have a stress-free trip (just make sure you "grease" their hands well-well so they don't think you're a giant leach). Prepare better next time bros! 1 Like |

Are you in a US school or a UK school? Your options might depend on the country you're based in. If you are in the US, then your options are rather slim and you might have to take a leave of absence. If you have really stellar grades and your school likes you, they might give you a scholarship to ease the burden. If all else fail, you might be able to get your international student office to do a hardship filing for you (although I doubt that your situation would qualify as a "hardship". Whatever happens, know that this isn't the end of the world. You're a smart and bright lady and where there is a will, there is a way. Whether your uncle assists you or not, you are going to achieve whatever God has determined you will achieve. If this means coming back to Nigeria to start all over again, then so be it! Please keep us updated on your situation. |

@ OP, it sounds like you have an unforgiving spirit. Your husband hurt you long ago but you haven't been able to forgive him completely yet. You have swept your hurt and pain under the rug, and have locked it up in a room that's deep within your heart that nobody else has access to. This bitter hurt is poisoning your marriage and standing in the way of your happiness. That you have held on to this hurt this long means that it's pretty serious and nothing that's said on here is going to do very much for you. What you need is some kind of catharsis, an event or conversation that will bring out the hurt into daylight, and allow you to ACTUALLY deal with it once and for all. If this doesn't happen, then I am afraid that your marriage is not going to get better. There's a giant gulf between you and your husband that must be bridged. If you're the spiritual type, then you need to attack this spiritually with prayer and fasting. If you're abroad, then you need to hire a good therapist that'll help you work through your issues. Either way, it isn't fair to you or to your husband to suffer through a cold, loveless marriage when you both could be doing so much better! 2 Likes |

Family / Re: Child And Poverty by moremi2008(m): 4:51pm On May 18, 2012 |
^^^This is how impoverished people in all cultures across the world reason. Sorry, God is NOT going to smooth out anything if you're not ready to be the smartest or the most hard working person around! Extremely poor parents would do well to hold-off on having children until they can at least afford to provide them with basic education (these days, secondary schooling is considered a part of basic education). This mentality that you can just have kids and "God" will take care of them is dangerous and a recipe for passing on poverty down the family tree. |

I guess I should shut-up since I am not married and I have never done it with a visibly pregnant woman. Even talking about it feels gross! What if the baby comes out while you're doing it?
