Bibi ire o se fi owo ra meaning you can’t buy good breeding.
OP, your breeding speaks for you. No awoof tendency ? Wow! Please, when it comes to marriage, choose wisely. Do not settle for panda, choose a quality, correct man to match you. Don’t marry anyhow man o! You deserve better.

Gentlemen, this is one of the good ones. If you are in the market for a serious relationship and you are a quality man yourself, you should explore this opportunity. If I were male, single and searching, I would shoot my shot even if it means snatching her from someone else

Preach it madam

This is another twist ke, something good might come out of this ooo.

Naija ooo

I have laughed so hard reading comments

To get help wahala you will be tagged as a scammer

To help others nko another wahala you will be looked at as a potential scammer/ritualist/ robber

To use your own money buy what you need double wahala you might also get scammed

Which way naija.

grasiouso:
Well, there was a fundamental issue. We needed to travel home to see my people for marriage arrangements and were supposed to travel by road. He gave me his own part of the money for the trip while I was supposed to offset mine. The problem was that I eventually booked one that was slightly cheaper than what we agreed for our return (a Sienna instead of Salon car) even though I booked salon car for going. I did this in good faith to save a little money as we had a lot of expenses to plan for then and I thought the Sienna was equally comfortable. I told him after the booking and boom! The quarrel started. He said I betrayed his trust and ever since, he never fails to tell me how he cannot trust me with money. This is someone I don't even ask him for money. We share almost all our household bills equally and I am always ready to assist financially in the home yet he doesn't trust me with money. It's really a lot in this short time of our marriage (6 months) and I must say I am getting tired of it all.

Na wa ooo, I would have thought he would foot you guys travel expenses since he was coming to see your parents for marriage, he also made you share transport fare to go visit your own people


I guess you have to stop talking about some things you do without discussing initially with him because all what you have posted are very trivial issues infact nom issues at all. These are things normal couples just mention to each other and hardly elicits any negative reaction. Did he think you kept the difference in the sienna/saloon car tfare for yourself or what.
Men that are petty are really difficult to deal with So you cannot do chochocho with your husband in peace again.


I used work with one very petty guy like that in my place of work very frustrating experience, I almost turned him to a prayer point despite the fact he was not my boss we were just in the same team oo, going to work was becoming a daily night mare and I have said it time without number that whoever marries him is in for a deep shit, I can't imagine a friend of mine marrying him Someone we just see few hours in a days frustrating me and others to that extent I can't imagine what living with him will be like. The most annoying part is people like that don't see anything wrong in what they are doing.

Iyatola has he paid ( or at least started paying ) back?

One of the reasons why peeps don't recommend live in in-laws.

Its because of chochocho like this.

Odiriance4all:
guy it seems you're not living I Lagos. if you visit Lagos sites ,artisans working there are all Beninese and Togolese, the worst part is that up to the chief engineer levels are unqualified engineers, they are Beninese and Togolese parading themselves as engineers

however our Nigerians clients and builders prefer them because they are cheaper to hire

Loool, But you will admit that the Togolese and beninoise artisans do a better bricklaying/tiling jobs than a lot of our Nigerian counterparts. I always wondered why our own artisans are very poor at finishing, to set block wahala tiles nko bad finishing.

If I am building a property I would recommend the engineer on my site to hire the Togo and Benin boys as bricklayers rather than a lot of our people. They are good at their handwork, its not their fault that some of our artisans do their jobs anyhow.

Culin:
Wow! I should really try to be more active then.

Lool in all honesty I dont think its even about activity at all, its more of time and chance.

The few I am aware of even myself never set out looking for a partner on NL it was mostly business transactions that turned to meeting much later and something came out of it.

Best wishes sis

Culin:
God, is my own Nairaland different?

Dont worry sis, if you are meant to meet the one on nairaland you most definitely will.

People are meeting and getting married very well on nairaland, most don't even open a thread about it.

Business transactions involving millions are being done by people who met on nairaland, some peoples major customer base was gotten from nairaland, some deep circle of friendships have happened on nairaland.

I did meet my husband via nairaland, he was rendering a service, contacted him , we met much later and led to marriage that has produced beautiful children. My husband has lots of clients that he met on nairaland in fact most of them are/ were nairalanders.

I have a circle of friends that we met on nairaland, males and females as a group about 8 of us one is not even a Nigerian.

The Job that God used to elevate me to the current job I am doing now was gotten via nairaland, all the interviews I ever attended during my job hunting days I got the tips from nairaland because somebody somewhere will surely open a thread about it and the discussion will begin.

Some nairalanders are cashing out big time. This platform has changed the lives of some people, some learnt the business they currently survive on from here.

The funniest part is the people that gain the most of this forum are not really the shouting ones.

aieromon:
It's a large leak that should be easily detected by a competent mechanic. The mechanic is yet to check the steering rack and its seals for damage due to old age. Delay in fixing will affect the power steering pump.

Okay thanks will show my hubby this.

poiunt:
I totally disagree.

Every Fortune was started by a poor person.... even those who were born in wealth, their poor grand father started it all.

Only a human can change his so called destiny.

People get rich, average and poor because they want

People lose and get money because of their lifestyle.

To be rich is hard but how many people are willing to give that sacrifice to become rich

@bolded oh really??

Its okay to disagree though.

Hello guys, please the power steering fluid in Nissan xterra 2002( I think its 2002) is leaking. We actually don't see it drop on the floor but its like the vehicle is over sucking it up or something this started like 2 weeks back and it has never been like that, after I take it out the thing drops drastically not more than 35 minutes drive in total.

Hubby called one mech to check it out I think he came tightened the hoses attached to the while container holding the fluid and he has come like 3 times now and the thing still go downs fast after a short journey. I think he has used about 2 containers of the oil within a this 2 weeks.

I was trying to reverse at the market like a week back and the steering was strong, one agbero now told me that they should check the oil so that something rack wouldn't spoil, I told hubby the mech came did some things and everything seemed okay the steering is now normal but the oil still zaps quickly .

Yesterday made it the 3rd time the stuff will drain from max to minimum after a drive.I drive it 98% of the time.

He has said he will look for another person.

Please any idea what could be wrong?

Op the poster of particular thread you made reference to didn't bash poor people( maybe some of the comments did bash poor people) but you are right that poor people are being bashed everywhere.

Some seem to think they have it all figured out but you see life can be very funny.

They can't seem to grasp why this person/ friend has not gotten to a particular level in life, they can't understand that things might just go haywire at some point irrespective of how financially secure the person thinks he/she is.

Some are born in poverty and they live and might die in poverty.
Some are born in wealth, they will live in wealth and end up dying poor.
Some born in poverty will end up in wealth.
Some born into wealth will live in wealth and even leave wealth for their grandchildren to inherit.

Life will teach some people. Nobody wants to be poor, no one plans to be poor but the poor will always be among us and these are things some people will never understand.

dalass:
Her mom isn't lost... Let her mom find her! A mom that left and never bothered to look out for me? How things were with me

I can never look for that person oh if true


Layelaye

You don't know the true story

What if its the Dad that collected her from the mum at as a baby and told all his relatives never to tell her about their whereabouts.

The Dad seems to be the one hiding her not the mum hiding from them.

He locked them indoors (especially her) during the few times they went to his village.

His relatives don't want to say pim about the issue.

He doesn't even want to tell her anything about the mum whether she is dead or alive.

He paid her mothers dowry at somepoint

These are signs its the dad and stepmum preventing their meeting.

People that can go as far as putting the stepmums name as her true mum on birth cert.

Some people can be very wicked and can go to any length.

1StopRudeness:
The brother knows all that is going on.....he planned it together with the wife to frustrate the guy ..... he doesn’t want to settle the guy again... we’ve seen worse...
....he just pretending to be neutral....how can they throw ur brother’s mattress in the rain and u won’t say anything.......
If U check well, they might not be siblings.... igbos like to call people from same village or compound their brother.....
No sane guy should disown his brother that’s been living with him since he was 15years old becos he wants a small apartment...is that not what will eventually happen...

This is also very very possible

My own is whatever you do don't let the devil push you to misbehave which will give your brother the perfect excuse not to settle you.

It seems thats the aim of the 3 women in the house.

8years is enough for settlement now let him settle you and you have your own business.

As for all this their chochocho and wahala ignore them, your eyes is on the prize ( settlement) you can begin to talk to your bro about it abi the never reach to settle after 8 years?

dljbd1:
Hi guys,

So I had an argument with my woman some months back about a wife and child bearing the man's first name or his surname.

So I'm pushing the question out here to know what you guys think.

An example...lets say my names are Emeka Frank Udo (Udo being my surname - which is also like my family name)
Now I marry and my wife wanna bear Jessica Emeka rather than Jessica Udo (my kids likewise)

What do you guys think?

No curses please...thanks.

I don't get it, does the surname have a bad meaning.

I am beginning to notice lots of families bearing their fathers name and the family surname as surname e.g Joshua mike-bamiloye and personally I don't fancy it, its still a bit better though because the family name is attached, now imagine if the person I stated bears Joshua Mike as your wife wants to what then happens to the family name.

Before got married if I see anyone bearing my surname, I know we must be related, my grandfather left the family name and his children began to bear his name as surname now when I am asked which family I am from I don't mention my maiden surname I mention the original surname of the family. I am from S family and they understand immediately but if I tell them my grandfather's name they begin to look confused.

Lastlast I left both of them sha besides I don't like their meanings.

I don't get why you left the job because you are pregnant, were you having severe morning sickness and couldn't continue or you were pressured to because you are pregnant.

Just try to get something doing.

It is well oo

Organicist95:
she happens to be my very close friend



I still haven't gotten over the shock yet.

Tears refused to even come out from my eyes

So sorry sis.

Organicist95:
...she didn't just die immediately

Sustained head injuries... mostly internal injuries

This is so painful.

She was celebrated all over and her life just cut short, her family, friends and her colleagues will be in great pain. Chai even me that don't know her from anywhere apart from the internet I am so shocked , cut down at her prime. I can't imagine the pains her parents are passing through.

I just hope there's nothing more to the accident.

Deaconess in MFM?

I don't believe the story

ifiokbenzy:
I love the appearance of your ekpañ, for the periwinkle...
When you're cutting the pointed end, make sure you count three or four spiral layers from the top. That's to allow it come out while being sucked.
Secondly, I'll advice parboiling the periwinkle with salt and seasoning. I feel it was not fully cooked. It usually cooks better at the bottom of the pot if you're not parboiling. Great job though transposing from Ikokoré to Ekpañ

Thank you.

I think the bolded was where I got it wrong, I just chopped of a layer maybe only the tip sef. I did perboil before putting it at the bottom of the pot then I placed the ekpang layers on it.

Not being able to suck the periwinkle pained me oo lool

pocohantas:
Glad to hear this. Yea, I know ikokore, never eaten it sha. Which leaf did you use to wrap?

As for the periwinkle, you suck the way you suck anything suckable . Since it didn’t work out easily, it means you didn’t cut deep enough. Next time, cut deep.

Ikokore is basically the same difference is wrapping of the leaf you can also add orishirishi too. I used ugu leaf, I looked for the bunch with large leaves.


Lool okaay, the sucking was beginning to look like a punishment and the annoying part was I just couldn't let go I wanted to see the end all the periwinkles.

So I decided to make ekpankukwo.

We have another version of it in my home town - Ikokore which I do prepare well, major difference is the wrapping with leaf


The story is it was delicious .


Pocohantas I followed your receipe it came out niceeee.


Does anybody have any hint on how to suck that periwinkle? I got the ones still in the shell, the woman that sold it told me to break the pointed end, the thing inside still wouldn't come out while eating.

Peculiar123456:

chikeziepeculiar21@gmail.com

Ahh pls dont I wanted to make enquiry about getting their products back then. My enquiry was not job related.

Funmilehot:
He's trying. On some part I will agree with u he's lazy. I've begged severally we move out to a lower house cos of rent but his pride won't let him rather he will end up saying words that made him a victim and making me feel bad.

Say what

One thing I do know is I will never wish even my worst enemy to be in that situation.

Theory is always different from practical, its easier to say this and that but in reality its not always so.

I don't even understand how she will be the breadwinner ( working full time) and caring for the husband fulltime.






And this thread is going haywire again......
