The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Northern Elders have endorsed Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki as the northern consensus candidates of the opposition party.

On behalf of myself and the good people of Ukanafun Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State, I hereby endorse the candidacy of Hon Okpongette Okorie to vie for the office of the Honourable Member, Representing Ukanafun State Constituency in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly in 2023 general elections. His sterling performance and excellent representation in the Ukanafun Legislature marks him out as the candidate to beat. He relates with the poor and downtrodden. He lives in the rural area with his people. He's not abandon his constituents to rent an apartment in the city or State Capital, Uyo. Let's join to support this winning genius.

I attended an Inter-house Sports Competition organised by a public school in one of the States in the South, what I saw was baffling as a male student was engaging in sexual act with a female student in the open not minding who attended the event.

Lookatchu .

[i]Does it matter why we behave the way we do? You people are always getting all up in our business on this forum with your numerous threads concerning women.
[/i]
If it is not a thread about single mothers, it is about working class ladies and how they can't be submissive or wives denying you of sex (my personal favourite ) Una no dey taya? Make una rest

Klassy, the way you behave matters

Klass99:


Ehn ehn? So, you men actually know these things or what your mothers are capable of, but you pretend like you don't know. Daris god o

Klassy, not that men are ignorant of this, we are here to discuss why the female folks behave the way they do!

Kobojunkiee:
You mean almost the exact same way the husband's mother dominates her son?

The husband's mothers tend to be more oppressive but may not dominate in most cases like the mother of the wives. Same woman may react differently if she has son-in-law and daughter-inlaw. Why?

Klass99:




This Eazzzy, you amuse me to no end with your idealistic mindset as reflected in your recent posts which I have come across. Ideally, what you said here won't be an issue. But, realistically when you start to experience it in real time, you will not find it funny neither will you feel this way.

What you think is not a big deal caused the breakdown of a marriage and led to the divorce of a couple I know personally. Pray not to have meddlesome in-laws or a wife who lacks good judgment, is incapable of independent thought and independent choices.

I saw your response to Prima as well about mothers wanting the best for their children, I just smiled and shook my head. Like seriously, that is not always the case and when will some of you grasp that motherhood is NOT synonymous with sainthood?

We like to think that (I mean mothers want the best....) but older me is realizing how calculating, manipulative and selfish some women can be in the name of motherhood. Some use emotional blackmail, spiritual blackmail or outright witchcraft to get what they want out of their children. In the name of, I carried you for 9 months in my womb, I did this and that, if she is a widow who trained you in school be prepared for an even heavier dose of that blackmail.

When I hear things like this, in my mind I am like, ehn ehn and so? Wasn't it your responsibility to do all of that? You decided to have kids, you ought to have known what comes with it. Then most love to act like they gave you life and they own your life (not God our Creator o, but them) simply because they gave birth to you.

When scripture says a man's worse enemies are from within his own household or the human heart is desperately wicked, please remember that God's word is not a lie and mothers are not exempted from that word of truth either, just because.....

This is serious �

PrimadonnaO:


Very correct about the maternal instincts - always wanting to protect.

Although tbvh, the sort of meddling some MILs do simply seem like pepper body, and outright unkindness.

Na wao
Lol

ecolime:
Not just the wife's mother. Siblings (Young ones) of your wife too sees their sister's house as their second home.

When we were fully based in my hometown, I can count the number of times my people visit. They don't even sleep over. But wifey's people ehn.. You bid them farewell today, you see them again the following week.. lol

It's all fun as long as there is money.

I don dey tell wifey now say when we are aged, nothing like you leaving me alone in the house for months in the name of Omugwo. May God keep us both and grant us long life by his grace.

Hmm!

its a factor even the women cant cant explain

It's well

eazzzy1:
When women bring their marital issues to other women, they are usually advised to ‘focus on their children’. You see such comments often from female monikers here too.

25 to 30 years of focus will not come to an abrupt end because the object of focus got married. There would need to be a refocus of energy from the children over time. What is an old woman going to channel her focus to? Working out? another man? getting further education? most times it’s always to late to change focus when they need to.

So before you get married, check the relationship between your prospective MIL and FIL, if they don’t have a good relationship, the chances of having a meddling mother in law are very high.

Personally, a meddling mother in law isn’t so much of a deal breaker for me. I know a mother loves her children and wants the best for the them, I will not put anyone in a situation where they would have to pick between me and their moms. If I was ever in such situation I will pick my mother.

Interesting!

Beremx:
Your question should be why do mothers do so

This is still what we desire to know. They do it towards the daughter more

I am just thinking why some mothers are so bold and domineering in their daughters' marital homes. Their decisions tend to be stronger and more forceful as they are more influential than the mothers of their sons-in-law. What should be responsible for this? They can easily pack into their daughters' homes without prior information unlike the men's mothers.
Have you experienced such? Kindly share your thoughts and experiences

Hmm!

The amiable honourable councilor of Southern Ukanafun Ward One (Urban Ward) in Ukanafun Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Hon Okpongette Okorie has awarded scholarship to six students in his Ward. The six students are to be selected from the villages making up the Urban Ward. Each Village is given a slot to present one student. The scholarship is for six years from JSS1 to SSS3 in a reputable private school.
In a letter addressed to each leader of the six villages, the candidates for the scholarship were to be chosen based on merit giving priority to the indigent students. Presently, two villages, Ikot Udo Obobo and Idung Eka Uyo have nominated candidates for the offer and they (students) have resumed for the 2021/2022 academic session. The remaining four villages are yet to utilise the offer.
