sinkhole:If you had the same experience, how would you have felt? |
Anybody knows whether our missions overseas have access phone numbers other than those listed on their websites? I have heard and read about complaints of Nigerians concerning poor and snobbish attitudes of those who work in our embassies. Recently, I had a need to contact the Nigerian Consulate in New York by phone. My people, I called several times in a day for 3 days. Each time, an automated voice would run through the usual intro and ask you to press a number that corresponds to your problem area. Each time, instead of connecting me to a definitive staff, the same voice would repeat the same intro. Or a new voice would tell you "there is nobody to pick your call, bye bye," click and the line goes dead just like that. I had to try the numbers one by one until, luckily, somebody picked up. It is this same consulate that foreigners call for visa and other information before coming to Nigeria. And their impression? You guess. One wonders whether the phones are for mere decoration and why a public officer would not sit down in his/her office and do his/her job. The new administration needs to shine its torch on our missions abroad and carry out serious sanitization therein. |
[quote author=FlirtyKaren post=35259538]God works in ways that may not seem right in our eyes. Heartbreaking as this event may be, it may well be forces of nature working to save either party from unpleasant experiences if they were to marry. The lady is only going through some nervous breakdown. She will be fine. I believe a better and more respectable husband is coming. There is no need to be desperate. |
[quote author=Ishilove post=35135370]Your situation is pathetic, but it beats me how you have continued to stay with this man in spite of how he has treated you. At your age and level of education, you must have heard of both control pills. You should have been on this after your abortion. Much as you need financial assistance to continue your school, your continued stay in this man's house can ruin your life. I wonder if you have immediate or distant uncles and aunts that might help you. |
[quote author=michaelobinna post=35092433]Although your friend is having a swell time playing this game, it won't get her anywhere. Some must have gone wrong somewhere that made the man pay less attention to his wife. Could it be she has neglected her grooming, nags more, etc. I suggest your should present her feelings to her husband so they can talk it over. Men act their grievances out, unlike women. Importantly, she should not let her husband know about the online relationship ; it will make matters worse. |
[quote author=teekay213 post=35069995]1. Name waa, my brother. Some SU and so called prayer warriors are hypocrites. I had this roommate who professed to be born again. His annoying morning prayer routine was to play a religious tune on tape. Then he would kneel by his bed like he was lifeless before launching into some tongues: kra-kra-kra...shika-shika-shika...... Sometimes I thought he was choking. Now the juicy part: Guy fell for one beautiful babe, whom he helped with registration. Most time, when babe came visiting, guy convinced her to stay. I usually left the room for them during the day only to come back later to find babe was still around. Then I knew my sleep would be disturbed again when the oohs and ahhs began throughout the night The session became more regular. Fellow SUs complained but guy held tight. He was excommunicated. Many years later, I ran into the babe in Kaduna. We recognised each other just said hi. She had become more mature and less attractive. Maybe I am the only one with this kind of experience. Or did you? |
[quote author=desoul post=34888551][i] Does this guy expect to encounter a concrete in front of the lady's inner sanctuary? The assessment of "wide" or not is subjective ; another man may have a different opinion. In fact, 95% of women must have had a sexual encounter before they get married. If the girl's ex-boyfriend forced himself on her, that should not count against her and it doesn't make her a bad wife material. And who needs a virgin anyway? And what contribution does it make towards a happy marriage? Bros, go ahead and marry your lady, unless you are not ready. |

[quote author=missKiffy post=34870418]In Western cultures, they introduce each other a boyfriend or girlfriend. [code][/code] Parents even ask to know when their daughter/son will be bringing their boyfriend/girlfriend to dinner. As for us Africans, we use terms that show we are still under our parents' watch care. Guy is in order. |
[quote author=honourhim post=34511845]When pastor tells you to give a sacrificial offering to God today, a violent offering, a painful offering that will cost you much in order to prosper, pls give that offering to a brethren in need of it. Giving to God is not only when you give to pastor/church, dont be deceived. When you give to the least of the brethren you have giving to God. Again i say dont be deceived. [b]Matthew 25:37-40 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it I am not a strong proponent of tithes. I prefer to give my money, etc, directly to those who need them. If you pay the school fees of a pupil or repair the leaking roof of a widow, that's tithing for me, period. |
[quote author=damzy88 post=34758659]Going by this Guy's work schedule, he cannot combine both work and studying for his masters. He can do only one thing at a time. If money is not a problem, I suggest he goes for his masters now. A better job may come tomorrow. Remember, he has to rest himself and make out time for other activities of living. Abi, my people? |

[quote author=chowlade post=33711737]Our women hate smoking g because of the acrid smells. Most say it upsets their stomach. Smoking is basically for men in our culture. Only "liberated" women smoke here. Smoking to keep warm is lame excuse because same person smokes when the weather is hot. |
[quote author=nellyme post=33906869]Yes, a breast feeding mother can safely have sexual relation with her husband when she has become 'dry'. Most suitable time is from 3 months upwards. By this time, body structures are almost back to normal. For most men, it is a long wait. There is no effect on the baby. |
jemype:Yea, some people react differently to matter. My experience with Elope is it makes me want to throw up. However, if too much of the best perfume is applied, people will be offended. |
[quote author=MizTyna post=33080251]You can get Grey Flannel perfume mostly in reputable stores. Open markets may not give authentic stuff. |
[quote author=angelo1111 post=33837767]No! No! No! It does not mean you will not pay the bride price. Pride price is a negotiable settlement so the column was left that way until the elders meet to discuss it. Of course you don't expect to marry without paying the bride price. It is symbolic, no matter how small, and is a sign of commitment. In some cultures, women do not know their bride prices so putting it in the "To Do List" exposes it. Or what do you think, readers? |
[quote author=stephenduru post=33768378]There are many American and European men who are far richer and they have a better sense of how to spend money. This is pure daylight robbery by the motel. The cost of the Chx Wrap alone is more than enough to start a small food/vegetable business for most rural women. Most Chinese billionaires still eat burgers at he roadside bukas. I wonder how the poster of this thread got the receipt because it is supposed to be a private property. Idle minds, they say, discuss people. |
[quote author=clevvermind post=33728808]In this age of the www (internet), people have access to contents of their desire. If you must show your disapproval, to your sister, find an opportunity to talk generally about watching porns and what you think are the disadvantages. And the better be convincing enough. Your sister is of adult age. There is no guarantee that she will stop. You complained because you saw it on he phone; what if you didn't see it; all well, eh? Anyway,what were you looking for in your sister`s phone? Sounds weird. |
thorpido:Yea, there is more to this than the eye can see. The husband must have issues with his mother-in-law. One wonders if it is the way things have been in the beginning. When and why did things change? Where did the rain start to wet everybody? They need to look for the answers. |
[quote author=nickibarb post=33656784]It beats me how a man would be able to care for a 3 months old baby and an equally very young sibling . It appears he has an axe to grind with your mother . His refusal to have you take the kids to your mother could be a way to express his feelings about your mother. Instead of calling your mother-in-law on the phone, pay her a visit to find out , as diplomatically as you can , why she behaved the way she did. I have a feeling she knew everything. Since you were going for an exam, I doubt that you would concentrate if you were not sure your children were in safe hands. As for your husband, taking his wallet would tantamount to holding him to ransom and rubbing shoulders with him. I believe he is remorseful for what he did to you. He may not express it. What you need to do is to apologise with respect to the wallet and ask if he wouldn't mind opening up to you why he insisted on caring for the kids himself. Choose his best moments for this discussion. My opinion, please. |
[quote author=paschu post=33630479]Since the pastor did not have much education and did not contribute financially toward the first girls`s education, her parents are unlikely to accept him as a suitor. It appears the pastor made unwise and hasty decision, proposing marriage online to somebody he had not met. Looks like he is marrying out of pity, not love. Besides, `naive` may not be the appropriate word to describe a graduate. The issue are: Which of them does the pastor love most and whose parents will give consent? Virginity does not matter much. Will he accept the second lady`s child? He is under no obligation to accept, but if the father of the child will come calling eventually, then child should go to his/her father. Is it with parental consent that the first girl wants to come back? She did stand firm with the pastor in the first place, which was why he went online. My verdict: People marry out of love and cherished attributes. It appears the pastor does not love the second woman; he just wants to fill a vacuum and marry for the heck of it. I sense that he loves the first girl more so if she is making a genuine comeback and her parents have accepted, he should go for her Otherwise, he should look elsewhere for a wife. |
[quote author=bizmogul post=33623029]It could be that this lady has a very high expectation of a husband material, that is, a man no longer struggling in life. She should lower the bar and go out more to social events where there is a high chance of meeting people. Girls do recommend their friends to their brothers and cousins. If she is a good girl and has friends, I expect such from them. Or maybe her time has not come. She should relax and get on with whatever she is doing. I presume that she is averagely presentable. Anyway, there are no ugly women these days. |
Fernandowski:I have the same thought, too. Initially, I thought this place was for ideas and topical issues but recently, ridiculous posts have taken over. What is the big deal about men eating in a buka, or some movie actors shopping or wearing swimsuits? Almost always,there is no good accompanying story. |
Ezenwammadu:Abegi, bros, ask the poster: what benefit do we get from seeing these people eat? People should not make a laughing stock of this forum by posting childish stuff. I think it is time to start sieving through what is allowed here !! |
onojaduru:Everybody must not post a topic here. Posts like this are very ridiculous. I do not see what is worthy of attention in the jeans. It is revolting! |
[quote author=Martins301 post=33548669]I can't agree more here. This is one of the most useful posts I have seen here instead of gossips and hypes. Let me say that corpers serving in rural areas are more likely to have free accommodation as they always have Corpers Lodges. Engineers and architects, doctors, laboratory scientists/technologists, accountants etc, may consider the rural places. These are places they are most likely to get hands-on experience. The present market in my village was built by corp members who studied related courses; the community only provided the materials. Virtually, every community these days have useable medical equipment in their health centres that are lying fallow. Corpers can try their hands on them. Most medical doctors will want to be posted in the Government House or NNPC clinic. Well, they may pay you good allowance plus the ego of telling your friends where you work, but you will end up only checking the blood pressures of the big guys and prescribing fancy multivitamins. You won't gain practical experience, as opposed to if you deploy to the rural or semi-urban areas, where kids convulse from high fever, women bleed after delivery, a farmer cuts his hand or foot, and you get woken up by all kinds of emergencies. I agree with the writer that your services will be well appreciated and cost of living is very low. You may even be one-on-one relationship with the big shots in the area. If a minister or director comes home on weekend, he/she would like to know the people putting up new structures in the community or who is charge of the health centre. |
jemype:I do not have much experience with most of the above perfumes. However, I have tested some. I have had excellent results with Grey Flannel, if you get the authentic product. Been using it for many years. It is very cheap; got the 4oz bottle recently for $12.99. Wear it in the morning and you are sure to smell it around you in the night or following day. The projection is very good. Look for the black 4oz bottle. If it comes in a transparent bottle with the liquid appearing bluish, do not buy it. |
Coolcash1:Maybe I should start by asking this question: Is it right for a carpenter to make coffins? There is absolutely nothing wrong in working in a brewery in whatever position. He is under no obligation to take the product. In any case, the bible does not prohibit drinking beer......only do not overdo it. Most men of God take alcoholic drinks and still perform their duties well. |
nwachivis:Really, it is no big deal that a lady has had an abortion. Most do, at least once, and you won't know unless you are told. Your fiancée opened up to you because she loves you and does not want to allow the incident to burden her mind as your wife. If she is in general good health and has her menses regularly, you have nothing to fear, trust me. The effect of abortion, especially on fertility, is a bit exaggerated mainly because the imagination is always of some guy in a ghetto environment with crude, blunt instruments. There is no need to get her pregnant as a test of fertility. It is uncivilised. I happen to know many women, now with kids, whom circumstance pushed to terminate their pregnancies once or more. If you love her, please go ahead and marry her. You may regard this as a semi pro opinion. |
badassProdigy:I think I agree with you. The child`s dressing and carriage appear far too mature for what one could guess is her age. This may not be unconnected with the influences to which she has been exposed . By the time she is through with secondary school, she will most likely have the demeanor and dress code of a 30-year old chic. |
I must acknowledge your open-mindedness about your problem. It is most likely that you have a gum infection down in the bottom area. It is also likely that some hardened food and other materials have accumulated. You need to go to a dentist for what is called deep cleaning. Nothing much to it...they will examine your teeth for any decays, assess your gums for any wounds, etc. X-ray shots will be taken to reveal areas where hard materials have built up. During deep cleaning,conventional practice is to numb your gums so you do feel any discomfort because the dentist has to really get deep down in order to make a good scrape. You may need to go back for another session after 4 months. Go for cleaning routinely every 6 months. Of course, avoid foods that naturally produce bad breath, garlic. Brush after food. You can also use one of the many mouth wash liquids available in the market. One prescribed mostly that I know is Peridex( Chlorhexidine). |
