PuZZyNegro: It is always like this. Parents especially mothers don't joke with the child of their old age (Gen 37:3).
I was loved by my mother just like your mother loved your last born and I loved my mother so dearly as well.
What happened to your sister could have happened to me if I had lost my mother at a much younger age. Would you mind to share how old your sister was when your mum died?
Even losing her in my mid twenties didn't make the shock much less critical to me. In fact, when she died, I felt like joining her or more like escorting her to the land of the dead if it was possible.
Till date, life is meaningless to me as I believe nobody will ever give me that unconditional love like my mother and everything I have always done was to make my mother happy.
With the money coming in and not able to spend it on her makes me see the true meaning of vanity that life is, knowing all the sacrifices she made for me. Like, she may not have 3k to give my siblings but will suddenly have 10k to give me when I ask. I was the only person that I attended boarding school that my school fees were times 5 of what my siblings pay in their day school.
May God rest your sister's soul
My advice to people is to not jealous last borns. We have special grace
Always handsome/beautiful, intelligent, tall and get the opportunities other siblings never had. We leverage on the mistakes of older siblings and make better alternative choices
I must say you are indeed lucky cos in my house it was the opposite. The fist born(son) got all. It was the left over i got. They concentrated on him and i managed my way. Now, they know better. We always protested but it fell on deaf ears. He is the only one that schooled abroad and they did not see the difference becos he didnt do well. Who are you to ask to school abroad too? Na your money? My friend hustle your way to Unilag jare! Parents should try as much as they can never to show preference amongst the kids becos e get why.
Eleken: We are not fighting over the Land. He's not in the country.. he called me few days ago.. that there's need to conduct survey on our dad's property in which all of us obliged. The process kicked off today. Dunno what prompted my mum to asked the surveyor the document will bear which name. The man said what came out of his mouth.
Long story aside we have sorted it out.. the document bears my late dad's name.
For monika that talked about tradition, we don't do that. Every son of the soil have share on his father's property.
The Thread now is for inexperienced like me to learn.
Atimes all this my ex comes to me for money, she left me when i was broke stories. The ball is in your court abeg. You know what to do but will always come here to pose as a the good 'Christian'. The koko is that, we dont the full gist sef. Help if u want to. Remind her if you want to. Take care of the kid if u want to. Ahh! LAS LAS, YOU HAVE THE KNIFE AND THE YAM
BryanZino: Hello guys, I'm new to posting on this forum so I don't know the best section this post should be. As I type this, I'm currently sick and there so much anger and pain within, I haven't been able to eat or drink since I got the news from my neighbor who told me that my landlord came to the house with a strange face, broke the locks to my apartment and packed my things out, I sent a relative to confirm and she said everything is outside but he went with my TV set. I called the landlord to ask what he has done, he blatantly lied telling me I sent my 'brother' to clear my things off the apartment that he has reported me to Police. Yes, I owe him 8months rent and I've away for 13 months even before the last year rent I paid expired. I told him I'll be back by November and I'll pay once I get in. Pls even though I owe him, it doesn't feel right stealing my property and throwing the rest in the rain Pls I'm lost and dire need of legal advice Edit: while I'm not absolving my self of the guilt that I owe the landlord this long and purely due to loss of job (covid19 problems) and there's no way I go there and get my stuff without paying the backlog. [code][/code] he freaking broke in and kept what he desired for himself and lied he didn't. Haba, this is wrong na
The headline is misleading. You are at fault. If you paid him the rent, he would have never done such a thing. You know how the economy is.
CaptainAyub: Every afonja is now from Lagos Meanwhile ooo,Lagos is nomansland
Somebody share me that video where afonjas were crying "Jagabandit come and save us ooo,Igbo bought all our ancestral land ooo,Igbo is digging up our forefathers' bones to build mansion ooo"
bukatyne: I am not against the pay back; I am thinking why the woman would wait that long.
Look at it:
She endures his cheating and shenanigans for about 30 years (let's say she married at 25... she is 55yrs) before jetting out to start enjoying her life at quarter to old age. She might have incurred irreparable injuries and/or scars while waiting to endure without treating the issue in due time.
How could she have treated it? By leaving her marriage? Maybe she didnt want to lose that status. Secondly, after all, she is the first wife. Also, her kids were little then. Maybe she was so hurt that she consoled her self with her kids and lost all the love and respect she had for the man. You know these are speculations. Now table don turn, u want make she think twice when dealing with him? What if she was the one that flirted? Shebi she for dey her papa house ni. I no pity the man oh. Babe please take some time and read Pocohontas post here. Very truthful and similar to the point im making. Thanks
Why don't the woman treat the issues as they occur or move on if it is adultery and/or abuse?
Why carry/endure bitterness for so long hoping to 'pay back' in future?
My sister, if only u knew what the man did o aside having another woman. Maybe the wife's kids were not well to do then. So she waited for a perfect time. Who knows whether the man was even rubbing it on the wife's face then and beating her on top. Its better u dont hurt some people becos the come back is always hell.
CaveAdullam: The moment before the sexual revolution unleash and the next wave of feminism.
Such in this millennia will be rare because of many factors like: sexual market deregulation, dating apps, social media, advancement in technology, sociocultural and socioeconomic status. A whole lot of things has really changed in the past 6 decades and expecting such now is futile.
However, such can still be possible if women will put a clip to their hypergamous instinct by becoming very aware of it but stand by a man who is ambitious and grow with him towards his mission. I say women because men are the ideal lovers while women are opportunistic. Men are ready to make the relationship work. But women, are very sensual, and want all that glitters even if they are not gold. (The multitudes of simps, divorce rate etc. authenticates this).
To sustain a long last relationship involves tradeoffs. Regardlessly, until both sexes are able to understand themselves biologically before their personalities, principles, culture, norms, values etc. then both cannot be able to strive together for long.
Thanks.
Women this, women that! Thanks for acknowledging that the woman made it work. Abi no be so?
[quote author=pocohantas post=106736194]Una dey always get options when young na.
That time sense is not found and gbola is very active. Naso una go dey do like Hitler. Claiming men-are-polygamous-in-nature.
You people forget na una old age dey do strong things pass. Small thing, stroke, kidney failure, diabetes. By that time, all your options (side-chicks) are long gone. You’ll now be blackmailing your virtuous wife into becoming a personal nurse. Reminding you to take your drugs and cooking oilless vegetable soup with plantain swallow.
If God come punish you with woman wey sabi revenge. She would leave you at home and go for omugwo in the US permanently. You will na wear obituary t-shirt and sit in front of your bungalow with a newspaper, watching every movement. One useless redpiller will see you there and come to create thread. “Men take care of yourselves, what I noticed with my neighbour”. The moomoo won’t ask the neighbour how he landed in that situation.
You men won’t give a woman your youth, but when your engine has knocked, you will return home to saddle her with a badly maintained Nigerian used body. Nonsense!
Happy Anniversary to the couple.

Apt! People forming Jackie Chan since time immemorial. Odi egwu.
They are siblings. These ones already know what the other has in mind by just looking at them and can literally write about each other without making a mistake. Wishing them more years in good health. Amen
Morgan9: All this things u just mentioned wont change him .. That is character is inbuilt I have an elder brother that behave exactly like him in my family..
Everyone has given up on him we are just waiting to hear he has died so that we can bury him..
I actually laffed out loud. Sorry. Mine was like that but luckily he has a well to do parents who sent him abroad to study, married for him, he and his wife and kids stayed with us in the same house. luckily again, the wife was a nurse here so they did Express entry immigration and are now in canada. The battle was like world war one and two join together. That first son syndrome is disturbing them and so because mostly the parents indulge them, the keep on misbehaving. They actually think the parents always owe them . Even while outside, na so so fight. Police have been involved on many occasions. Hhahahhah. Maybe u guys should not give up on him yet. A little more patience could change the story
MY PEOPLE, PLEASE HELP ME DEFINE WICKEDNESS AGAIN? MEN UNA OWN WICKEDNESS NA LONDON MADE. WOMEN OWN NA CHINA MADE. IT DOES NOT LAST. WOMEN DEY LEARN HERE O. THIS WAN PASS PATERNITY FRAUD YOU GUYS SHOUT UP AND DOWN ABOUT. WHAT!!!!!
Its very important you give birth on time. That allows your young body to mentally and physically adjust to the endless hormonal changes that follow post partum.
Every tom, dick and harry is giving warning. Which one is give birth on time? What if husband did not come? You will still call the lady baby mama when she births outside wedlock. PTSD knows no age. It happens in all ages. Loneliness, stress, lack of support etc all contribute to it. That is why is occurs after birth. Chai, this post is filled with ignorance.
micronut: Nigerian Women Empowerment Advocate, and Clergywoman, Pastor Funke- Felix Adejumo of Agape Ministry, has dropped another teachings on moving with those who are better than you in a group or as friends, and leave those who you are better than.
She plainly said that if you are the richest among your friends, that relationship has expired or you should quit it and move on.
She gave the example of Joseph in prison who moved with rich prisoners.
E remain if u are the richest amongst ur family memebers, relocate of change ur last name. Everyone can never be equal. There are things the least person in a group can do more than those that are more financially capable than them. Everyone is important/useful in their own way.
descarado: Here parents especially mothers failed woefully. Why can't a man cook for heaven's sake?
Guys in my family both extended cook better than females. You must cook o.
It will even help becos you dont know how tomorrow will be, but u use that as survival. But people's ignorance, arrogance and foolish pride will make dem suffer unnecessarily
Fuckthamods: Nothing like domestic violence here, abi your elders didn't beat you when you were young or what?
Remember he is not even in his house.. How do u now suggest he should beat the gal? Meaning he must have used blows and kicks on both his sisters and mum
Iyaebe: Please send him to my house,he needs proper upbringing. But honestly I don't like seeing men do chores especially kitchen chores.I use to pursue my brothers to live the kitchen arena as I find it disgusting seeing men in the kitchen.Try your best to endure him as he won't live with you forever, its just for some times, please be patient with him till he leaves.
When u are burdened with chores, or caring for an infant and a toddler, you will not know when u will ask ur hubby 'honey what did u cook'. Anybody can cook oh. No go kill urself o when u cant imagine a man doing chores. They only pretend. They can improvise with full speed when the chips are down. Na wayo full their head. As for Op's cousin, the mum has bred a demon and i pity the wife.
BSsniffer: Many Nigerians think Fulani are clannish. Some are. But there are other ethnic nations that are MORE tribalistic. It is not apparent because they are not in power. Give them power and it will become obvious. The least tribalistic nationality in Nigeria are Yoruba.
A 37 years old lady chatted me two weeks ago, let's call her Ada. Ada came to me and complained that her husband's best friend from childhood who works in the same office with her husband and earns the same amount of salary saved up money, bought his wife a car and they went to Maldives for her 40th birthday.
Ada said she suspected her husband was cheating on her and he must have been giving money to another woman; that is why he's always broke. She wanted me to post it on my wall so that people will "advise her" on action to take to catch her husband. Because I do not post Junks on my wall, I started asking her some questions.
We did a messenger call. After much questioning and running back-to-back analysis without prejudice, we discovered some things.
Read carefully.
Ada's husband's childhood friend's wife works with a travel agency while Ada sells beads, zips and other tailoring items.
Childhood friend has 2 children. Twin boys of 17 who just entered university. Ada has 5 kids aged 2, 5, 8, 11 and 13.
Childhood friend is the last child out of 3 children, but Ada's husband is the 2nd born but first son out of 6 children.
Childhood friend has no father and mother again, but Ada's husband has a mother but no father.
Mrs Childhood friend's parents are retired Judges, but Ada's parents are in the village.
Mrs Childhood friend has just a younger brother who is an Air force officer and married with 2 kids, Ada has 3 younger siblings who are still struggling.
So suppose Ada's husband earns 300k, He would pay the school fees of 5 children of which two are toddlers, send money to his mother, sort out one or two bills for some siblings,
While Childhood friend would just pay for 2 children school fees, he has no younger siblings to cater for, his wife's parents are well taken care off, he has no parents to send money to.
Mrs Childhood friend with her knowledge with the travel agency she works with knows when to get good ticket prices, she knows when they get bonus, she knows those countries that offer Visa on Arival like Rwanda, Maldives, Uganda and the Rest. She has no younger siblings to care for so she can save up her salary or commission to grab some last minute flight deals.
But Ada is just zip and button seller; if she sells, she would send money to her siblings.
Both men work and earn the same, but their responsibilities are different... way way different.
By the time I highlighted these to her, she felt guilty. I made sure she saw these because she was the one answering the questions.
Sometimes, before you pressure yourself over someone's achievements, think of the responsibilities you have.
You might earn more than a person who has a flashy car and lives in a good apartment, but you have more responsibilities than that person.
Someone earning 40k might be living your dream life and traveling round the world, but you who is earning 150k would think your village people have tied your destiny.
People would wonder why you don't dress well. They would mock you that you don't know how to save money or plan your life like them, They will say upon all your money you can't afford iphone 13 or human hair or nice suits.
Check the bills you have to pay, Check the things that gulp your money and praise yourself. It's not everyone that even have the luxury of saving.
Some of us as the money comes, if we don't spend it on ourself and eat chicken and fish, our phone will ring and one person is asking for 5k.
You'll be paid 50k and in 30 minutes you're seeing something that resembles 2k in your account.
Some of you are actually doing better than you know, but you're so busy looking at other peoples farms and counting their achievements that you can't see yours.
pepperdemzombie: That's why they kill themselves over inheritance, most of them are not the legitimate ones to inherit, and they are always greedy. Just imagine the son your woman brought from outside to be older than your legitimate daughters or you eventually don't have a son. You die, he inherits you, the mother marries another man, he inherits mother and son plus your properties while your legitimate daughters eat leftovers or nothing.
This ur analysis is really pathetic. Funny enough these things happen. Just cos of gender, another person will take over. Thats one thing i detest about that useless custom. And some first sons that are up to no good leverage on it.
