CelebritiesRe: Stella Dimoko-Korkus React To MAYOWA Scam Allegation by Ochyglowsglows(f): 12:04pm On Jul 29, 2016
Onegai:
It seems like there was some issue of miscommunication on the part of the family. The young lady in question is at stage 4 cancer. It would take a miracle, not the best medical care, but a miracle, to survive that. Her family wanted to give her every fighting chance. That is very commendable. But the information passed along seems to have communicated to everyone that things weren't so bad, if they could just raise the money, she would most likely survive the treatment. I think that is why people are calling it a scam. Some people in this situation, actually donate the money for their treatment to another patient who has a better chance of survival.

The same situation played out not too long ago on Family section: someone came and framed a story in such a way to sound dire and people hurriedly donated, only for them to find out that the situation was not as bad as it seemed and he manipulated the story in a way to raise quick support. Same with that Lola lady: I spoke to several people who knew the case and when I heard what they had to say (with irrefutable proof), I was ashamed that people had manipulated her story in a way to gather momentum and castigate doctors, all in a bid to play on the public's emotions.

I've made up my mind to no longer get involved in such stories again: I'll help those I know personally and send a prayer for anyone else. I owe only God an explanation for my choice. The end.
@ Onegai, i will still say there is nothing wrong in her family making it seem like it wasn't that bad. U know y, cos no one would ever want to lose a loved one. I put in the little i had for mayowa and i do not regret it. In 2012,when my dad was diagnosed for lungs and liver failure, we went into huge debts trying to see that he got well, even though he was a chronic smoker, and he still kept smoking while he wa even ill, we cud av said this man isn't even helping himself and let him be especially as the doctor told us he might barely make it. But we kept borrowing to make sure he got well, eventually he died. In 2014, mum was diagnosed of dementia which the doctor said was as a result of high bp, and told us to just let her stay home and nurse her whichever we could till whenever God decides to take her. But we began to make some research on it, we took her to some other hospitals and carried out several brain scans that went into hundreds of thousands. This was just barely after recovering from paying off d debt incurred during my dad's illness. What am actually driving at is that, when u have someone very dear to u, going thru a life threatening illness. You d do whatever to save them. God is in d best place to judge if mayowa's dis wrong by painting the picture that her illness wasn't that serious (as u claim)

FamilyRe: I Am Scared, My Fiancee And Her Mum Treats Her Father Like A Houseboy by Ochyglowsglows(f): 9:46am On Jul 14, 2016
I really don't think the man deserves whatever treatment his family is meting out to him. If they couldn't bear what he did to them in the past, they shud av just left him. Ur fiancée's mother could have left the marriage. It's better to say my parents are separated, than to stay with him and punish him. I don't like it when humans play God. Sammily, that lady's mum is very diabolical, marry her at ur own risk.

OP, whether u choose to divorce ur wife or not, is not my business actually. But one thing I d like to say here is that, a woman who can't keep her husband's secret, especially a secret like urs, hmmmmm, to me, she cannot be trusted. And from all indications, it's evident that she's wrapped around the fingers of her sisters,and as such, they can manipulate her as they wish. Believe u me, she d do their bidding again, once she's been able to make u believe that she doesn't keep contact with them anymore. She may be smart enough to delete all records of their conversation this time. Be smart sir. Be wise.

FamilyRe: 9-Year-Old Girl Describes Her Dad In A Note She Wrote by Ochyglowsglows(f): 6:06pm On May 29, 2016
@ all sufficient God, thanks for that statement. @ ladyF and KgDavid, i am a teacher, av been a teacher for quite some time now. And I tell u, kids of this age are really smart. Really really smart. I have one of my student who loves to read a lot, and i told her parents to encourage her, she saw Chimamanda's purple hibiscus, and asked for me to let her read it, BTW, Sharon was just 8 then, no exaggeration, her dad bought her a copy. And 2 weeks later, she narrated d story to me. I d v used someone else to illustrate this, probably my neighbor, but u guys might say, I may not know what transpires in their home. So I d use my own sister, who I lived with. My 8 year old nephew, woke up one morning and instead of getting dressed for school, said there was no school. His mum and i didn't believe, but after much questioning, he said there was an excursion and those who didn't pay were told not to come to school. My sister asked y, he didn't mention that there was an excursion, and he said mummy cos i know u don't have money, and i gave my daddy the letter they gave us from school and he said it's not compulsory I go for d excursion. Cos he d not pay, i shud ask u to pay, but mummy u don't have money, I overheard u telling aunty Gloria so(me). I was touched and ran down to school to pay for him, cos d dad never mentioned to his mum that the child said anything about the.excursion ,but they had already left. I felt bad. Till date, that boy doesn't ask his dad for any of his needs,if his mum says, tell ur daddy he l give u, the man doesn't even try to help d situation by saying I l give ur mum the money, he bluntly says I don't have, am not paying, go and meet ur mother. Would u say such a kid had his mind poisoned by anyone? As parents, it's d responsibility of both parties to make the children feel loved. Mind u, even a smart 7 year old in primary 2 in a school where he/she is well taught will write those vocabularies and even more. God help us.
FoodRe: N1000 Tomatoes That I Saw Today In Lagos by Ochyglowsglows(f): 8:37am On May 26, 2016
@mrvitalis, don't say the op is telling lies. It cud be possible, Nigerians know how to take advantage of a situation to extort their fellow Nigerians. In Ajah, 4 pcs of tomatoes smaller than what d OP posted is 5h. OP, u better buy atarodo 100, bawa, 100, tatashe 100,onions 50, then tin tomato, the 130 size and enjoy delicious stew. Add curry leaf my dear and garnish ur rice with peas. Thank me later. #winks#

Will pride allow a naija girl approach a man undecided
IMO, it's not pride that makes a lady not approach a guy, it's d fear that she d be labeled cheap or eventually taken for granted in d long run, that makes an African lady not to make d first move.
LiteratureRe: Letting Go By Audrey Timms by Ochyglowsglows(f): 7:57am On Apr 22, 2016
I completely agree with kingphilip. I guess Rema is cheating on Felix, and if she happens to be pregnant as she claims, the baby isn't Felix's. She's just trynna pin an unwanted child on a fine boy. And for Ivie, she d always have trust issues with Felix if they eventually get back together. Remember, trust is like a piece of paper, once folded/squeezed, it can't be the same again. IMO, a trust less relationship is as bad as a loveless relationship.

Audrey Timms, u r da bomb. Av been a nairalander for 2 years now, in d space of which av read so many stories. And apart from d9ty7's All in a circle, av never commented on any story. I read unfulfilled promises and didn't comment. But this? Haba, madam, u r great, I can't keep being a ghost reader. I started this piece yesternight when I checked on flakkydagirl's, my husband for updates, and someone there mentioned letting go by Audrey Timms, and from exactly 1.05am till past 9am,i didn't drop my phones until it went off and my power bank also ran out. I even had to feign sick to avoid going to work. The story held me spell bound. I love ur works madam. More ink to ur pen. I see u going places. I appreciate your humility and admire ur subtlety towards some of us annoying readers. I can not stop without mentioning that u r one writer who is very regular with posts and has her readers happiness at heart. God bless u madam. And God heal ur eyes, take the best of time to get well. I for one will stay glued to this piece and others by u. Love u bundles.

Na wa o, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but he sure can attend the wedding if he so desires. As per y they broke up, they may not have been compatible, maybe healthwise. Or may have very good reasons not to have pushed the relationship towards the aisle, and so sat down, talked about it and reached a conclusion. @ OP, pls attend, of u want to, u can get her a sandwich maker, baby cloth hanger, baby pram, or Walker, or any other kitchen equipment. I guess u loved her a lot while it lasted. Cheers!

FamilyRe: Help!!..did I Marry The Wrong Lady? by Ochyglowsglows(f): 5:20pm On Feb 19, 2016
@ ayauche, thanks for pointing it out to gologolo. @ yemi16, some people think it's not proper for u not to tell ur wife before helping ur siblings. I d still say Do NOT tell her, but like I earlier said, she d eventually find out. When she does, let her know her reactions when u help ur siblings out pisses u off, talk to her, and tell her u d even keep more important things from her, if she won't change. I hate my man keeping things from me, and not eating my meals, infact it breaks me to pieces. So I tend to dance to the tune of his drums when the need arises. Above all, pray for her, pray o. Cos no matter how much u love her, if she has a particular attitude that provokes u and she's not willing to even try to change, omo iya, the love go fade o. It is well.
