Mbdovey: So, I got talking with a senior friend about challenges most new migrat faced in Canada and US. After several discussion, this got my attention. According to her, it's very difficult to get married or come in contact with a prospective life partner. As most Nigerian's single ladies are over age but no husband. How true is the above statement? Are there most Nigerian's single ladies than single men? As a single Nigerian in Canada or US, is it really difficult finding a life partner (a Nigerian partner to be precise)?
Is it adviseable to get married to a Nigerian partner before going, what if the marriage fail due to long distance?
What's the possibility of seeing more black (Nigerians) to mingle?
What part has large number of Nigerians?
Because it's good to plan every aspect of one's life.
overaged with no husband. Most of them their husband is here in Nigeria, hustling to make it lolz! And if we connect them now they will say they are interested in an abroad person, and they keep waxing older. The ladies from those places they went to are still struggling to have a family put together talkless of a stranger from another continent to hijack their man! Lolz and I trust my Nigerian guys in those countries, their eyes are way up!
Anyway I'm open to serious relationship from any serious person among them, don't forget I'm a Nigerian in Nigeria.
SirMichael1: Hello Good afternoon Familanders. This is very long, so please bear with me.
I’ll start from the root. Well, in my church, there’s usually a committee for the married men where most times we can proffer solution to the issues or need of the church members and other times organize get together monthly within us (married men) just to foster unity. Since we're like 20, different men host the get together. Therefore, it's spaced out for 1year and 8months.
It all began last Sunday when I was chosen to oversee the next get together which comes up this Sunday after church. When we (my wife and I) got home after church, I told her about it and she immediately asked, “who would do the cooking”? I was taken aback as the question sounded strange. I replied her saying, since she did the cooking the last time, I figured she’d do it this time.
She got angry and said there’s no way she’ll be going through the stress of cooking for 18 to 25 men and that I better know what to do concerning who’s going to handle the cooking. I tried to calm her down and reminded her of how I assisted her in the kitchen by pounding the yams while she made the soup -two soups actually and that I was going to help her this time. Yam is quite expensive so we’re not pounding this time, just Semo.
She remained adamant and said there was no way she would do anything, that the work stressed her so much and she won’t partake in any cooking and that I better go find anyone to do the cooking. Thing is, I understood the fact that the work was stressful for her because she was 5 months pregnant then and it was her first time.
Yesterday at work, I kept pondering about a solution and a thought struck me. I called her from work and asked her, "how about I get one of the women at church to offer you support?". She blatantly refused and still held on to her words.
My mind hasn’t been settled since morning because I got hold of a caterer and she told me that she’ll charge a thousand naira per head, that is approximately 20k. Truth is, the get together came at a wrong time and considering the prices of drinks, the cost of the food stuff, meat, ingredients, etc. I really can’t afford a caterer right now.
I’m at a cross road now. I don’t know what to do because it’s causing a rift between us. I thought of bringing a church member to assist on that day without informing her so she wouldn’t surprise me and leave the house but I fear that if she comes, my wife might not join her in the kitchen and the woman will begin to feel a certain way (thinking of how ungrateful we are). Then again, who will purchase the food items? I’ve just been confused. I really need insights.
Note: I said I'll help her make the swallow, she just needs to make the soup.
why not buy bread and share with your members, with fish and drink! It's not compulsory you cook for them. Don't stress yourself on what's not important.

Tell your guests to bring in their food when they are coming..

Missyajoke: There's a particular day in a month where witches can ask a favour from their covens. Witches can make you rich but remember anything that comes from the devil won't last. Just that the bad of witchcraft outdo the good. Witches and demons controls the spiritual excepts God decides to intervene on someone's behalf. Depend on your level in
Am not a witch.
the bolded is laughable! And can only comes from a religious head-cap that knows nothing about what Christianity entails lolz Luke 10:19
Kobojunkie: Jesus Christ lashed out at Scribes,Pharisees, and MOGs... Teachers of the Law who were not chosen by God to Teach His people but assigned themselves as Teachers/gods over His people anyways.
It was only as part of the old Covenant that MOGs known as 'men of God' were set up to teach God's people, the descendants of Israel, about God's commandments and ways. However, the office was hijacked by men who took to installing themselves according to their own rules, as leaders over God's own people, setting themselves up as dictators over God's people where it God and matters that concern God. With His New Covenant, God declared that the office of MOGs null and void. Instead, as part of His new Covenant, God declared He alone will teach His flock about Himself.
So your MOGs, who pretend to be of Jesus Christ, were never set up as Teachers over God's people... they were simply meant to preach the good news of Jesus Christ to those who were not saved... not to install themselves as managers over those who were, but instead, these men have
1. Set themselves up as 'spiritual' leaders/authorities over Jesus Christ's flock
2. Spiritual 'Abbas over those they have been sent out to preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to
3. Planted themselves as go-betweens between God and His flock
4. Established themselves as teachers teaching doctrines and traditions different from what Jesus Christ taught them
5. To add insult to the pile, your MOGs add rules/commandments to the set of rules that God has set up for His people to obey.
** substituted from another Bible translation for better understanding of what is impacted
If you study the Old Covenant Teachers of the Law, you will find that these were the same infractions Jesus Christ leveled against them while He was here on earth. And He did warn us, using the Old Covenant Teachers of the Law as examples, against men who would establish themselves in a similar manner over His own followers, all while pretending to come to us in the name of God.
I can go on but the truth is, your MOGs exist in direct disobedience to the very commandments of Jesus Christ. Peter, the apostle, warned people about ALL MOGs (False Prophets and Teachers), from about 2000 years ago.
everyone with his cross, I understand this is yours, so keep carrying it

akinwale701: Good day to you good people of Nairaland, I am in some form of confusion right now. I really need your advice about my personal issues which have been bothering my mind so far. It's about how I am going to do it (life) after NYSC. I am a 2018 Batch C Stream 2 Corps Member and my POP is slated for October 15th this year. Now, my fear is how life would be after NYSC. To be sincere, I am really afraid as I have a lot of people looking up to me (I have 3 siblings). I am the only one out of the 4 children in my family who is opportune to be educated up to tertiary level (I graduated from OAU, studied Management and Accounting with Second Class (Upper Division)). Lest I forget, I planned to save up to N200,000 during my service year and I have, out of struggling, saved a sum of N150,000 even though it has not been easy. The problem I have now is how to even spend the money wisely to yield more after my service period. I am currently serving in Osun State and I am based in Ibadan, Oyo State. Please, I need your advice on what business to do. NB: I am not a lazy person, I can do anything LEGAL to make money. I only need the right business ideas and your candid advice. Thanks.
I'm sorry if this is not the right section to post this.
invest it in business, possibly do forex! And you'll be getting monthly roi why you source out for more money. You can pm me for more info.
CuteVally: Good evening Nairalanders. please i need an advice on the next step i should take in life. I am a guy, 25 years of age and still living with my parents, though i am not jobless but recently my bank account just hit one million and 200 thousand naira. So my parents are advising to buy a landed property in my home town that will take about 900 to 1 million naira. But the thing is that i am 25 and i feel at my age i should no longer be staying with my parents, so i want to rent a flat and furniture it to my taste, i feel it is time to move on, i need my freedom to finally face life like a man. So my question is, should i purchase a landed property at 25 and continue living with my parents or pack out and start my Adult life. Note: i am not jobless" cc: lalasticlala mynd44 Dominique
cos you have 1million you dey shout lolz Guy calm down Don't rush yourself, make more money and plan yourself well before you make any silly mistake. Calm down.
saaphiere: A woman should be her husband's think tank. If your financial life is totally dependent on your husband, you are a psychological disgrace. Fingers are not equal. Must your own be the shortest?
Don't die as a woman. Die as an institution. Think more than you pray.
WATCH THE VIDEO TO THE END BEFORE YOU QUOTE ME OR COME HERE TO DISPLAY HOW ILL-THINK YOU ARE. SHE DIDN'T SAY BEING A HOUSEWIFE IS BAD. SHE SAID BE AN ASSET. BE AN INSTITUTION. BE YOUR HUSBAND THINK TANK. DON'T EAT WITH 10 FINGERS. DON'T BE THE SHORTEST FINGER.
Proverb 31 woman! She's right. Although the title is misleading. You can be a full house wife and still have a side business, online or shop in front of your house, you can have investment yielding monthly for you! The main aim is not just to sit unproductive.
gnykelly: I have been trying to start a meaningful relationship for quite a while. kept bumping into these recurring case of single mom.
I don't want to go down the aisle with extra content by the side.
though they may have good character but. it still doesn't cut it for me.
what could have gone wrong as a society to produce a huge batch of single mom with so many irresponsible fathers.
youths are becoming more irresponsible with sex these days and that's the cause. Normally there should be no sex till marriage, and if marriage is not in view there should be no pregnancy either even if you gonna do sex. Sex responsibly! Being a single parent depreciate your market value in the relationship market, we still have thousands of singles still praying for husband and they could be well considered for marriage since both are starting fresh with no extra luggage compared to baby mamas. Sex responsibly!
Kemimarch16: oppugnant I'm sure you know what you are saying by involving religion,oh I even forgot that your own Bible says u should always impose your own wish on people instead of allowing them to do what they want.
Kemimarch16: See the person that's claming love,did your bible tell you to be forcing your wish on someone else?those countries grows because they respect eachother opinion not by forcing something on eachother.Stop imposing your wish on someone,I still repeat again la click la pooooooo
You don't even know what you're saying, Walking away without being an antagonist is the way to respect each other's opinion.
Kemimarch16: You see why African is always lacking behind,we always attach religion to everything instead of saying it the way it is.let me remind you that u can't force me to do what I don't want.la click la pooooooooo
how many white countries have you been to.? Even the white are more religious than you. Africa lacks behind because there's little to no sincere show of love just like you are displaying! A typical African.
Kemimarch16: Yes I have a product and I can't force people that doesn't eat ponmo to buy and eat by force coz I respect everybody choice,so I'm free to do what I like it is my choice.i still repeat once again la click la pooooooooo
it's not a fight about clicking or not! If you are Christian, where is your love? Read the book of John and understand the love of God which he shared abroad in our hearts.
