https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/sad.gif

Oga which one be coven meeting again. I am actually enjoying the Convo. Abi na lie them dey tok?

What exactly do Nigerian men want? Even the religious ones are not left out too.

You guys should choose a side and stick to it o jare.

Shuu.

Let me finish reading jare.

aribisala0:
How is that my business?

Loool.

Never mind.

aribisala0:
There is a world of difference. Yes I understood you to mean Yoruba wives or at least wives of Yoruba men subject to Customary law so what is your point with that?

Yes that is what I am saying

Do not and are not entitled to are very different scenarios
I said "are not entitled to"
In Yoruba culture spouses are not entitled to ( have no rights to) inherit each other whether a wife or a husband.
Husbands are not entitled to inherit from wives and vice versa

The only entitlement to inherit in Yoruba culture is relatedness BY BLOOD

That is not to say Friends DO NOT inherit from friends. It can happen but not by right

Not by right? I don't agree.

aribisala0:
English language is important. I Never said wives "don't" inherit. What I said is they are not entitled by customary law to do so
This is the case in Virtually all Yoruba culture.
. Wives are not entitled to inherit from husbands and husbands are not entitled to inherit from wives He may make gifts whilst alive but after death inheritance in Yorubaland is BY BLOOD as far as rights are concerned wives have no ENTITLEMENT

of course many families exercise discretion in these things and what happens in practice varies

There's no difference in what I said and what you are saying.

By wives I meant Yoruba wives, the opening sstatement ' In Yoruba culture' covers that.

You are still saying wives do not (are not entitled to) inherit in Yoruba culture and I am challenging that.

aribisala0:
I am not sure what you mean by that word "upturned"
Ori ojori and Idi igi is a totally unrelated issue to whether a wife can inherit her husbands property so you are mixing things up
Those issues are tangential and related to POLYGAMY and how property are shared among the children of a POLYGAMOUS marriage. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with a wife's right to inherit Rather it is about CHILDREN not WIVES

With regard to being overturned .
The judgment in Sunmonu v Suberu was given at the Supreme Court with respect to Yoruba tradition/Custom and you are citing a judgment with respect to Ibo law and Custom. They are totally different systems
This is just like saying The judgment on Ibo traditional law has overturned Sharia law that is illogical
There are fundamental reasons why Ukeje does not apply in Yoruba law. Anyone who is grounded in Yoruba tradition knows this
[b]Spouses do not inherit each other's property It operates BOTH WAYS. Women do not inherit from their husbands and vice versa[/b]. Ukeje is about the right of a female child NOT wife. The Yoruba tradition is that inheritance is BY BLOOD. The wife is not a relative by blood
So the Ukeje case which is based on a "discrimination" against women(children of deceased) is inapplicable

A supreme court judgment can only be AUTOMATICALLY interpreted to overturn a judgment of a LOWER court .
To say it overturned Sunmonu v Suberu is wrong unless that was explicitly stated. That Ukeje judgment does not cover all Native and Customary law in Nigeria or Sharia law just Ibo law.

@ bolded Say what?

Which Yoruba culture says wives dont inherit from their husband's ?

bukatyne:
He can't be Yoruba.

A Yoruba man cannot be this senseless.

The senselessness is on another level, was so shocked when I saw he was Yoruba, only God knows what he's been learning where he travelled to.

okine4real:
Forget about the mother, African like to talk with sentiment. In customary law, its States that the First Son inherits what his father has, that is through, but that law has a CLAUSE. THE CLAUSE IS, IF YOU TAKE THE GAIN, YOU ALSO TAKE THE BURDEN. If he wants to evict his mother that is his business, but HE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF THE MOTHER TILL SHW DIES AND ALSO TAKE CARE OF HIS SISTERS TILL THEY GET MARRIED. But while will a sensible man wants to evict his own mother from her husbands house? Is he stupid? His mother ohh.

Which customary law? the bolded is not entirely applicable in Yoruba land. Even if he is the first born and the first son, na share them go share am.

perambulator:
You need to tell us your tribe because traditions vary in Nigeria. In yoruba land it is the wife's property until she dies, a son cannot override his mother's right to the property until she dies. I am not even sure a 1st son in yoruba land has any right over his elder sister (assuming he isnt the 1st BORN) talk less his mother.

In Yoruba land He doesn't have that right to drag his father's property with his mum.

If he has elder sister(s) he doesn't even have a special preference over them during property sharing.

Radarada. I think he's high on something, that's the only logical explanation to this .

Slimslimqq:
oh! My bad. I didnt seem to read it well. He's a Yoruba boy. Ibadan

He is what some people will call Omo ale Yoruba

Rubbish AMD nonsense

The kind of Christianity they practice in the north is so different from what we do down south. I spent some time in Yola Adamawa and I could see/feel the difference. There's just something about the Christians over there.

bukatyne:
The tragic thing is that she can sue him for child support once DNA test fingers him as the father.

So a man has no right to impose a woman keeps his baby and must be a 'father' if he is raped.

A woman has the right to keep/abort a pregnancy and insist for child support if she had the baby outside the man's will.

@ bolded - definitely not in naija

Magnoliaa:
[color=olive]That's the thing about rape and rapists. That shit is so fuvked I can't wrap my head around it. I mean, I see other criminals, cheats, etc., people doing things I naturally wouldn't do, and I try to empathize and see things from their heads, but in this? I literally can't. It seems to not be about sexual desire and frustrations for them, because they literally can't get anybody else. Without struggle. So WHY?[/color]

That's the question a lot of peeps always ask.

Fountainofyouth:
Laws have mercy, so what did she gain from it? A child that the father will hate for the rest of his/her life, I bet the stupid lady will never tell the child she raped her dad, so many senseless peeps abound sha.

I still don't know what she gained, apart from the pretty baby. The guy vowed never to do anything with her. Was a very messy matter.

Well since it's about male rape.

A friend of mine was raped by a lady, they were not married, they were not even dating.

This should he around 7 years ago. She drugged his drink and then 'helped herself' dude was even a virgin. The guy later realized and sent her out. She got pregnant came to inform the guy, guy chased her away. The parents were the ones who accepted the baby, dude said he never wanted to have anything done with her.
He was my friend and at that time the mother was my boss, she even told me to speak with him, he politely(not very politely) told me not to have that discussion with him.

He didnt even the see the baby, as we all know children like that are always a splitting image of the husband. He didn't even see the girl.

Now when they asked the lady, she said she really likes H, (H is a confirmed fine boy, ladies will drool after him but he was decent and morally upright guy) has been giving H greenlight, H didn't succumb . H was serving at that time, she then visited H and drugged the drink and helped her self. When the mama was narrating the story of her interview with the girl I was dumbfounded, the most annoying part of everything is the lady is very pretty , you would always look twice at her.

The question I kept asking was why would she do that, she could have gotten the attention of any guy she wanted.

I didn't believe its possible for her to actually'help herself to it' questions like 'how will the thing enter when he was drugged' so I raised the issue I was on a PG program then, we were about 4 in the lab that day and 3 were guys, they all said its very possible even our acting supervisor confirmed its possible.

bukatyne:
Depends on your preference.

A man with little or no sex experience and sexual/romantic experience has always been my preference.

Let's build ourselves together and[b] I don't want the ajeku of the whole of Lagos in body, soul & spirit.[/b]

A gaming laptop is a laptop designed specifically to play games. Not just any games as a matter of fact. And yes, people, particularly westerners buy them specially to play games.

However, creatives also use them for different tasks such as coding, video editing, graphics design, etc. Because of their powerful CPU, GPU and dedicated graphics card, they handle resource intensive software or apps flawlessly whereas the regular laptops could freeze on launching some of these programmes, apps or software.

I remember I used to have a laptop that would freeze for up to three hours when I launch a particular software then and it still won't open the app in then end.

Yes, gaming laptops are well built, sturdier and are more rugged than our regular laptops. Creatives mostly buy them in Nigeria for certain tasks since it keeps their frustration in check. A sizeable number primarily use them for games.

@1st bolded Okay thanks. Now I feel better

@2nd bolded , the Ijebu in me has been ( is still) trying to reason why someone would spend so much on a lappy to play game

odimbannamdi:
Nice one.

Starred for the future ...

Abeg make una nor vex for this my question.

Do people buy laptop to play games? Why exactly is it called gaming laptop? I guess it may be more rugged than our normal laptops I might be wrong sha

Those new TV sets at Alaba are China brands with LG, Samsung and TCL printed on the cartons by Alaba people the quality is nothing close to the original. I have gone to Alaba to test-run the TVs and I was disappointed with the quality if you are not a TV novice you will easily notice the Gulf in quality between the original and the ones at Alaba.
If you can't buy new LG TVs from Fouani then buy first grade used one.

Now imagine seller A (Alaba TV)and seller B ( Fouani TV) that wants to sell the same size of TV on this thread, one will definitely be cheaper than the other and the one with the more expensive price will be quoted as too high.

PattyMike:
My oga as in this thing wey u just talk, I jam am finish before my eyes clear LMAO. Everywhere I was seeing LG 55 smart tv inches for about 360k brand new, Samsung 340k or so. The cheapest I saw was Hisense yeah for 245k. Nah so I say make I price LG for Ebuka shop o, he said 210k I almost cried for joy. We price am 200k and I did transfer. Nah when DSTV man Dey do set up, he was like this china Dey mad o. He said the remote is exactly like LG remote also the picture quality and he almost thought it was LG. Oga if no be LG be this wetin I come buy . But so far I have no issue with it and it’s been months, I Dey pet am pass egg cus any small kpam nah bye bye. Netflix, YouTube, everything is perfect.................for now

Loool na Alaba LG

They have argued this LG fouani and Alaba LG stuff on this thread several times, people will say sebi its xyz price they sell at Alaba.

Everybody knows Alaba prices are cheaper than Fouani,meaning it is not be of the same quality but as usual some people on this thread will not agree. They will say its the same thing. The price difference is always too much for it to be the same quality.

If I want to buy TV na LG office straight

MikeAterezzi:
No, I didn't do that. It was just a swipe at her bare chest. I'm trying not to be detailed about it because there's no pride in it. We were both standing inches or centimeters apart when it happened, by the way.

Okay you swiped her breasts?

kneehighbootz:
You are not communicating, what with your Shakespearian grammar. Did you sleep with your sister, op?
I think you should leave that house and never return. The nerve of you to still live in the house and demand that she bonds with you. It's the audacity for me.

Scum like you should be in prison and never see daylight again. Pedo

Loool, this person is vexed. .

I thought AI was the only one that wasn't understanding his grammer.

The OP should say what he did in clear terms joor, say exactly what you did though most of us here might already have an idea , don't beat about the bush.

Had I the final resolve I would have coolly walked into a court to face the law But then I learned what it meant to be merciful.

For you to have brought the issue of court of law its not like you slapped someone or something.

Whatever you did seems to be terrible enough for them not to even think about giving you a second chance.

Do you know how much pressure your brother is going through?

bukatyne:
Lagos husbands

The ones that would have and still not provide

You know their style

kestare:
Guys. This is literally my story.

I was on the mainland (Ijanikin, Close to Agbara and Badagry) and got a job on the island (Marina) that pays 85,000.

My transport every day was 1000 naira every day.

I would wake up 4:30am and by 5am I was at the bus stop. Anything more, and I would be late for work.

Every day I would spend about 5hours in traffic. Iyana Iba, Costain, Volks, Underbridge.

I literally was going through serious stress. Sometimes I would arrive at work looking and feeling exhausted.

Then I looked for an apartment closer to work.

I knew surulere would be my best best.

The minimum cost for anything decent is 300,000. The agents were not merciful, the Landlords too.

Then I got an apartment for 250,000 agent 60, agreement 60. Totalling 370,000.

Then my stress drastically reduced. Transport at the time reduced to about 500 back and forth.

I also cut down on all my other expenses.

Even tho it looked like I was working for three months to pay my rent. I was happy. I was more productive and I could do more with the extra hours I spent in the traffic.

There is no one size fits all advise in this case.

Lagos is a very crazy place and if you have been in the job market for a long time, you really do not have a lot of options when a job offer comes. You just have to start with the hopes for improvement.

Get your apartment, if it will cause you less stress.
But you must be very shrewd in your spending going forward.

Remember you will feed, pay utility bills, clothe and still send back home.

So.

I wish you well brother.

Ehyah, I understand how you felt then because I stay around that Axis, but honestly it so much better now. After they finished trade fair, barracks, you get a smooth ride from volks to mile 2 . It remains volks, Iyanaiba, and okoko if that is completed lots of peeps will be so happy.

I wonder how those who work on the Island from my side cope back then. It was really terrible oo.

So this is what red pill they are shouting up and down NL is about?


He couldn't receive the handshake but could prevent her from falling

Lool radarada.

I like the part she rubbed your head like a young boy sha.

All you are feeling is infatuation and lust even describing her standing boobs.mtchew

I just pity you, with the way you have described her personality if you open your mouth to say any nonsense maybe its belt or pankere she will use to whoop your ass, so you can come back to your senses. Sebi its only your head she rubbed like a small boy don't worry .

BiggyB242:
And it ends well for unfaithful women. Lol, I know someone who was a damn player. He got married to the best woman bros they fresh everyday, with 3 lovely kids and changing car every year.
Players get the best woman, is the good guy that usually fall for the wrong woman.

Is there a statistical proof to this

kneehighbootz:
The people cheering you on with likes don't care about you. It's just entertainment for the rest of us while you are the one with the broken marriage.

For success in your next attempt, try to consider dissenting opinions, not only the ones that stroke your ego and tell you what you want to hear.

I don't think this is the right time for you to be on social media. Take some time off the internet and grieve.

Like it or not, you guys were in love once. Take some time to honour the relationship at least rather than look for empty ego boost online

Loool I hope he knows this.

mariahAngel:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

What if they genuinely didn’t like drinking garri? And with salt for that matter...

Loool, I don't even drink garri with sugar not to talk of salt.

ObaKlaz:
There's a contrast between "share in the providing responsibility" & "be the sole providers". The former is my stand as far as this back-and-forth is concerned.


YES!

I actually thought the 'we provide' you talked about was providing solely

Anyway , your answer to the question seems fair enough.
