Family / Re: How Much Respect Can A Woman Who Earns Higher Than Her Husband Give? by NiCurious: 4:59am On Jun 20, 2020
Ariza:
I wonder why it affects most Men when women earn higher. If you create geninue bond , respect, friendship and love between you and your woman, little material things like 'earnings' shouldn't create insecurity in you or gaps in your relationship/marriage. A woman who loves you will never disregard you. Work towards creating unbreakable bond with your partner then you will not have to worry about them earning more.


I'm directing this to men because most of you do not know how to create lasting impression but will wail, cry, throw trantrums when replaced.
Health / Re: If I Masturbate Am I Still A Virgin? by NiCurious: 4:31am On Jun 20, 2020
MiddleDimension:

the one who is a virgin is simply someone who has never had sex before. so yes, you still are.
however, i think we should do away with the word "virgin" already, it is outdated.
notice that those who will attack me for that statement are those who will never frown at their sons
for going after women, but will break all hell when it is their daughter going out.
it seems the word virginity is applied only to women and this shows confusion and hypocrisy on the part
of those who will attack me; because the truth is a woman does not dis-virgin herself, rather
she has to sleep with a man who is the one that most time chase her.
and some how, these confused and hypocrite of a people will call me immoral.
i have not said anyone should go out and start being irresponsible with their sexuality. i am only pointing
out the double standard and confusion on the part of those who claim they are 'moral'.
truth is you cannot achieve chastity in women if you do not encourage it on the part of men. the one who is more
interested in women keeping their virginity should first tell the men to not chase women around. because men are the
ones who go for these women most times.

also, the reason for the so much emphasis for on female virginity is historical and has some evolutionary explanation to
it. i bet those who will tell me i am encouraging 'immorality' do not know this and that's why they say what they say
and you who is against what they say is the one they think is immoral. so you can see that knowledge, not scriptures, lead people to true morality.

historically, women had almost no social, economic and political power. this makes sex almost the only bargaining tool she has over her man. so she is advised not to give it out to him very 'easily' as that would mean compromising the only female political power. this is why when a lady is a bit open with men, her strongest critics are her fellow women who think she is betraying their political power over men. men criticize her too, but the antagonism she faces from her fellow women is on another level!but things have changed a lot. she now has other bargaining tools in life and as a result, the emphasis on virginity and female 'chastity' will only decrease.

one more reason the word 'virginity' has to go extinct in our dictionary is that fact that rape victims who feel their 'dignity' is gone after being raped, will no longer feel that way. this will make the healing process easier. people who lost their virginity through rape often times feel dirty afterwards and this adds to the trauma. but if we can stop giving hymen a praised position, which is what we should do, then helping these women heal after helping them get justice, will be easier. because she has not lost any dignity by having had that crime being done on her.

conclusion
i have no problem if anyone wants to stay virgin till marriage, and i do not have a problem with it either if you choose not to keep it till marriage. both of them is fine by me as long as you go on being a responsible citizen of where ever you are privilaged to reside and work. but i think the word virginity should stop existing for the following reasons.
1. it is a double standard and also a show of hypocrisy on the part of those who clamour for women to close their legs and not encourage their boys to not go after the girls till they are married. you cannot have the two together. logically impossible! in fact, since men are the ones who go for women, it will be more sensible for anyone who wants to restore 'morality' in the society. to stop a thing, you address the root.

2. women now have more bargaining power in the society than they use to have in those days.

3. to help rape victims get back on their feet more easily.

4. hymen can be reconstructed.

but of course, this makes no sense to people of faith, born again christians and born again muslims, as they think i am immoral saying this. while i have understanding to backup my position, they have scriptures.

I won’t ever start wishing that bride price payment should be done away with. It is a good Igbo tradition. You pay it to the last dot cool. I love culture, without culture we have nothing to identify us with.

However a woman should have money so that if a man starts disrespecting her (or her people) because he “bought” her, she would be able to return the bride price, and “unbuy” herself for good cool. Wise women in oppressive situations have been doing this for ages.

How much is even the bride price that any woman shouldn’t be able to stash away “in case of incasity”?

Excellent suggestion!

Hello everyone. Please bear with me because this might be lengthy. I have being dating a Jehovah witness lady for about two years now.

She is such a wonderful and caring lady. The type that would make sure I am happy at all times.

Around November last year, she found out that I cheat. She even found out that I cheated that same week she came to my house. After much apologies and all, she forgave me and we continued. We kept having issues and reconciling. We finally broke up in February because they don't marry outside their church (I am not even thinking about marriage now) and someone in her church has approached her for marriage.

They are planning the wedding but she still comes to my house and we Bleep each time she comes. Today she came and her husband to be was calling her she refused taking the call. I asked her why is she doing this to the guy, she said even if she gets married tomorrow she will still be fuc...king me. Although I don't know the guy but I feel pity for him

She's a fake JW.
Also, if you feel pity for the guy, stop bleeping his fiancée.
One good thing from your fights with the lady, about your cheating, is you are learning to put yourself in another person's shoe. :/
Family / Re: Living With My Married Elder Sister by NiCurious: 8:43pm On Jun 18, 2020
Greatzeus:
I know how you feel Op,but that feeling is wrong as long as you live under her roof. You feel that you are not her maid so why should you be doing all her work,see girl, humble your self,try to do all she asked of you,you are a woman,you should even enjoy doing chores,if you want to enjoy your stay at her house, please just do as she says.
If you think you can't cope with the work or stress,go back home to your parents. That's the only choice you have if you want to enjoy your stay and want to avoid rancour.

Listening to advice like that above will not help you grow.
1. Your feelings are your feelings. They are not right or wrong, they are just your feelings. Are they compatible with your housing situation? No. So you can swallow your feelings, or you can honour them and leave that house.
2. She should enjoy doing chores because she is a woman? Seriously? Bukatyne replied to this already. Helping in the house you are staying in is definitely correct, though, especially those times your sister is pregnant.
3. If you think you can't cope with the work or stress...think of a list of other options. Don't say the only choice is to go back to your parents. Deciding in advance that you only have one choice, limits you from seeing others. Renting a room with a friend is another option that comes to mind. Or renting a room by yourself. At 22 you are old enough to have a taste of running your own household, make you les sheltered, and more independent. Which brings me to the next point.
4. If you and your sister have a break from each other, she will appreciate better the work that you did for her, when you are not there doing it, and in turn, you will appreciate what goes into running a household, if only on a small scale, when you are doing it yourself. You will both benefit from you moving out. It will also leave you more time for your job search.
Romance / Re: My Girlfriend Threatened To Break Up If I Don't Marry Her Now by NiCurious: 6:23pm On Jun 17, 2020
mrfranky:
Please Mods help push this to front page i need more advise please...

Have been caught up in a difficult situation. I have been dating this my lovely girlfriend for more than a year now. She is beautiful, humble, kind and a good girl. She is from a good family too. The parents are not too rich just average and doing very well. They are 2 girls and 3 boys and the elder sis is more of a slay queen i.e so beautiful and refuses to marry so the mother is hoping on this my girl to settle down, always encouraging her to settle down.

Now I am 29 years and I really love this girl and she loves me more than i actually love her, always ready to do my biding. She is just 22 and I wish to marry her someday but my finances are low. I have met the father and he said he doesn't need anything from me only things for the kinsmen or whatever but my parents are the opposite. Infact my dad won't even entertain my thought of getting married now because despite am staying alone, i still get small stipends from him monthly so he knows am not financially independent.

To cut the long story short.. My girl is pregnant again after several abortions in the past and she is refusing to take pills. She wants to keep this one and is urging me to come pay her bride price so we can move in together. This was not my dream way of getting married. I don't have a problem with her keeping the child but I just cannot marry now with my monthly salary of 40k which am struggling to feed and pay bills.

Please I need advice.
Pls no insult I knw the abortion act is wrong n never intended for her to take in again but it keeps happening...

Help me please i dont want to lose this lovely princess because she promise to end the relationship if she has to take another pill.

Well, until I got to the last paragraph, I was simply going to say that at 22 she doesn't yet know who she is, she is still following others' bidding (parents', yours) without having developed her own personality. Which she will one day. Best to know what personality it is, before marrying.

BUT, now you are talking of another pregnancy after a number of abortions, and complaining about your financial situation? You sound like you can't manage money, no matter how much you have, nor assess risk and your ability to manage it. How much does a condom cost, for goodness sake? Compared to an abortion, with all its dangers, and compared to raising a child, with all the years of costs and responsibilities that come with that? This whole situation smells of immaturity, irresponsibility and set-up. Step back from this relationship, pay for an abortion since you find it more cost effective and safer than a condom, then finish growing yourself into a responsible adult. With your current lack of foresight and maturity, you do NOT need a "biddable" wife to follow you over the edge of a cliff, just because you led the way.

Politics / Re: If You Were The President Of Nigeria, How Would You Make Nigeria Better? by NiCurious: 11:30pm On Jun 13, 2020
MelaninGold:
The first thing I would do is to pin the maximum number of children a couple can have at 3. After 3, either husband or wife must undertake compulsory birth control methods. Anyone who feels like they need more children (especially poor families) must give tangible reasons and make sure that sufficient resources are made available for their children in the case of death.
This Will curb the ballooning of the country's population and allow for the management and harnessing of the already overwhelming population.

Every other thing Will follow after that.

Why three? That will still lead to an expanding population, when there is already a population problem. Two children per couple (assuming one husband, one wife) will maintain the population. One child per couple will reduce the population.
Would need a policy to cover twins or other multiples, when their birth would put the family over limit. What do you suggest?

Politics / Re: If You Were The President Of Nigeria, How Would You Make Nigeria Better? by NiCurious: 9:03pm On Jun 13, 2020
I would rather a spartan, firm-handed, benevolent dictatorship for a couple of generations, while I rewrite the constitution, with the intention of reinstating democracy after I step down, once I prepare the ground where it can thrive.

I will start by dealing harshly with insurgency and other armed violence, and deal severely with corruption and reclaiming what has been stolen, back the national coffer. I will get reliable power on line even if I have to bring in a foreign company to do so, provided Nigerians are trained up to maintain the system, once it is running. Investing money saved from having no bloated polithiefcians looting the coffers, into getting local industry off the ground, to get the country manufacturing its own food and goods, will help stop the bleeding of money leaving the country, and keep it circulating within the borders. Minimum wage will be a living wage, though modest. These big changes will help other problems start solving themselves.

Once I gain the trust of people now feeling physically safe, and having light 24/7, and work that put food on the table, I would move to more controversial policies, for example, how to deal with roaming, uncatered-for almajiri kids (will the northern governors really solve the problem?). It's okay, they will have bright futures if I have my way, and be model citizens of my new republic, but there will be a price the parents will pay.

There must be quality education and health services available for all. Clean water and sanitation for all. Environmental protections. National ID for all, verified with fingerprints.

But for my aesthetic pleasure, the streets, gutters, and waterways in my domain must be cleaned of rubbish...plastics sorted and taken to the local plastic recycling plants that will have started up...and the people to do that, knee-deep in filth, will be corrupt former politicians, bribe-taking officials, crooked policemen: those who have been bringing the country down, must literally clean it up. grin

Oh, there is much more, and I must surround myself with bright, forward-thinking minds to bring all this about, but this will do for a start.

Security - Decentralise the Police, given the constitution makes provision for that. Establish a zero-tolerance policy in the Police Force and the Military. This approach is a strategy to eradicate the abuse of power by law enforcement on citizens. Push a bill that allows for a jury of citizens to serve as the balanced check that needed to keep the force accountable. This will reinforce the idea of a government by people in the our democracy.
Nysc - Mandatory 1 year military reserve service for all citizens. Eligible for enrollment by the age of 18 and must be completed by age 35.
Citizen database - for identification

Infrastructure - Leverage the service of the enlisted Nysc members in a Govenrment driven accelerated infrastructural development, obviously cooperation with experts. we'll create 3000 miles of roads and 1500 miles of rail line respectively every year. Increased infrastructural capacity will positively impact investments in logistics and transportation and industrilization.
[b]I'll further deconstruct power distribution, will allow distributors to compete for customers without location restriction. [/b]

Education enormous investment in Public schools starting from Elementary all the way up to the University. We'll rennovate our schools, provide adequate supplies for the classrooms, build Federal public Libraries in every capital city.
Open up Federal Universities for international research purposes, sponsor research in Medicines, Science and Technology
Incentivize computer and information technology/science/engineering studies all across the country.

Tourism, allow ease of access for innovative ideas from local start-ups, international brands to launch their businesses. this will be another avenue for job creation creation through small businesses, and possible investment opportunities.

And finally use my execute powers to push for a decentralized federal government, and more independent states, a change to the constitution that will define clearly the rights of persons and institutions and firmly uphold those rights with the necessary checks and balance in place.


Nice overall, but at the bolded/coloured--if I understand your meaning--logistically that seems inefficient, as different companies will have to run parallel services to the same areas, which will increase their distribution costs, and therefore the costs to the customer, competition or not.
Where I'm living, power generation and distribution is kind of an arm's length corporation of the government, with the mandate to generate sufficient power to meet demand, keep it on, and keep it affordable. Yes, it receives subsidies if necessary. But power is 24/7 unless a storm knocks a line down. A different model, but it's working.

You need to take into cognizance the discrepancy between women of this era and our mother's. It's a disparate scenario diametric like chalk and cheese.
Women of this dispensation are nothing but impertinent,combative, confrontational, and everything for them is unhealthy competition that antagonize all party(the husband, his family and friends). And I begin to wonder; where's the love people so promiscuously herald as the bedrock of marriage.
I'm so disaffected by marriage that I'm in a dilemma if I should only sire a child or adopt, and I'm more predisposed to adopting, but I don't know how to go about it as a bachelor.

Wow, blaze a trail and adopt, there are children needing parents! But...
How? Ask of an orphanage what they require from you. Determine your means, your ability to cater for a child's needs, whether you can afford to hire a nanny, if you are at work and the child is still too young to school.
There are a thousand questions I would ask of you if I ran an orphanage and you wanted to adopt, but let me weigh that against the thousand question nobody asked the children's biological parents, before they conceived.
Research well. Search your soul. Best of luck.

I've read that it is related to people moving away from healthy traditional diets, to refined and processed foods. Not just black people are affected. India has seen a big spike in diabetes cases, North American native peoples as well. (The higher amount of salt in processed foods also contributes to high blood pressure.)

Romance / Re: My Boyfriend Wants Me To Be A Baby Mama. Says He's Scared Of Marriage. by NiCurious: 10:47pm On Jun 10, 2020
Confusedgirl869:
Hello everyone. This account is created for this .

This issue has been bothering me a lot and I am very confused on what to do.

We have been together for more than 2 years now and we hardly have issues, infact we are a perfect match or so I thought.

I am 26 while he is 35, we both working and I never disturb him for money, I take care of all my needs myself. He is very calm and peaceful, doesn't hit me and I really admire him a lot. I on the other hand is also good, hardworking, not materialistic and all that makes a good woman.

So after thinking of our relationship thoroughly some weeks ago, I realised that there is really nothing stopping us from getting married this year or next. I decided to hear what he has to say because he never talked about us being or getting married. I also noticed that whenever he sees or hears about bad marriages he felt lucky he is not in yet. This always makes me feel bad because I know myself. I also wasn't a fan of marriage before I met him because of so many bad men out there, but everything changed when I met my guy, he is what I want. The very first day we met, the first thought that came to my mind was 'this is my him' I don't know why I had that thought being our first time meeting.

Anyways, few weeks ago I decided to ask him what his plans are. Are we in on a long thing or not? I got the shock of my life when he made me understand that he doesn't want to be tied forever, he loves his space and the way nobody disturbs him. That he only wants a baby mama, he wants me to be the mother his kids but not in marriage. I was mad and I cried for days. He was even sounding like nothing is wrong with being a baby mama, maybe not but I just can't.

Well, I made him understand that I can't be a baby mama and it will also be hard for me to move on with another person. I've bonded so well with him and all that. And I also hate jumping from one man to another. I told him to talk to people who are in successful marriages and stop looking at the bad ones. Today when we were talking I asked him about it and he is still maintaining his stand on the mama.

I don't want to give birth to kids that have 2 homes, I grew up like that(it took me lots of self discipline not to become useless) and wouldn't want that kind of life for my kids, I want them to grow with their parents in ONE house. At the same time, I don't want to lose my good man and relationship.

I need your opinions please.

If this is even a real post. His good points that I see, are only that he is calm and peaceful. "Not hitting you" is not a good point, it's the absence of a negative one! Nobody should hit you!
You take care of yourself, and never bother him financially--that is an excellent quality in you. But that same good quality becomes problematic when he sees that because you can take care of yourself, there is less burden of guilt on him when he decides to go his own way, leaving you bearing the cost of catering for his kids.
What exactly are this guy's good qualities besides calm and peaceful? He's uncommunicative about his plans with you until now, he seems emotionally unavailable, he doesn't support you in any way, and is therefore unlikely to support his children with you either, and just wants to use your body for his own procreation.
Sorry sister, but you can do much better than this guy. You can and will get over him. He is blocking your view of better guys.

The numbers do add up. The person quoted used misleading language, saying 53 others, when in fact the deceased are among the 53.
302 tested
-230 results received

Out of the 230 results received, 53 were positive. The breakdown of the 53 positive results is thus:

seyi360:
A Pastor knows that the development of his local assembly rests on God and women. Women's influence on church growth is in no doubt.

Women are gifted with the subtle ability to multiply a congregation by word of mouth especially. Hence, a serious Pastor must take women's department seriously.

However, in the attempt to cater for them, he may be misinterpreted, misconstrued and misrepresented. Which raises the critical question.

How can a Pastor draw the line between genuine care for his female members and flirting with them?

Probably in the same way that he shows genuine care for his male parishioners.

If this is a real story...and if for whatever reason, you can't be transparent with him, or want to leave the marriage because you don't want to be owned, and you don't want your salary to be owned, and you need your money to start a new life for yourself and your child....
Open a second account, have your salary sent there instead, and keep this new account card hidden. Give him the PIN for the account he holds the card for, which is to have very little money in it. Keep feeding the new account, stop buying things for the flat.

If you can train yourself to do that, you can reduce the effects of forgetfulness in the first place, and also spend less time searching and worrying about your mental health, adding to your already busy mind.
If you forget what you have just done, try doing one thing at a time, so you can focus on it, be aware of what you are doing, and probably do a better job of it at the same time--as well as remember that you did it.
Well, that's my advice from experience, maybe it fits your situation too.

Is it not glaringly obvious that what she was wearing, where she was, etc. is irrelevant--both in this case, and by extension, to all rape cases.
Imaging putting all responsibility on potential rape victims (ie. girls and women) to restrict dress and activity to avoid being raped, yet ignoring the responsibility to train boys to respect women and not to rape. The same males who dress as they will and go where they want to.
Parents and parents to be, wake up.

Hard to see exactly what's going on. A synchronized split screen would help. However, it does look like McAtee had a gun, and was using it. I don't know what they said, because I don't lip-read.

Indoor camera
At 2:11, when McAtee is going to the door when everyone else is coming in, he has something in his right hand, maybe from his pocket or waistband. It is small, dark, and could well be a handgun.
At 2:17, when barely everyone is in, he reaches around the door. There is a puff of smoke. The young woman pulls his sleeve.
At 2:28 he reaches around the door again.
At 2:29, he is struck and staggers in before falling to the floor.
At 2:31 a puff of smoke blows into view just as the young woman slams the door.
Then nobody goes in or out again.

(The woman is interesting to watch, keeping her cool in a very tense situation. When her friend doesn't listen to reason and come back in when she pulls his sleeve, she pre-locks the door, stands by the doorway with expressionless fortitude while shots are fired, until he comes back banging the door into her, then she slams the door shut for safety. She bends over with a huge sigh of very short-lived relief, only to see blood on the mat. She raises the alarm, sees that the dustbin has moved, sees that it was pushed by McAtee falling to the ground. She stares, taking in the next horror of seeing McAtee struggling on the floor.)

Outdoor camera
Until 4:58, everyone is calmly eating, gisting--until it appears that a shot hits the sidewalk causing a puff of dust, coming from the direction of three officers across the street. Everyone moves inside quickly.
At 5:13, when nobody is visible outside, an officer fires a shot which knocks something off the table. (The smoke is near the officer, and the object falls away from the officer.) Whether it is a real bullet or a rubber one, I cannot say, but it seems the officer is firing something first.
At 5:15, there is a puff of smoke by the door.
At 5:27, there is an incoming shot.
At 5:28, a shot is fired from the doorway; a large puff of smoke is visible.
Then nobody goes in or out again.

It appears to me that the first shot was fired by the officers at 4:58 toward people who were calm until then. If someone in their group had already fired a shot, it doesn't seem likely to me that they would all still be standing around like everything was normal.
If these two views were shown on a split screen, I am quite sure they would synchronize and support the claim of McAtee firing from the doorway. Why the officers were firing at the door in the first place, where people had gone for shelter, is very much another question.
