Crime / Re: Udensi Ngozi Opemipo: My Missing Niece Is Now Back Home by Odera2016: 9:41am On Jun 06, 2023 |
mradjoy: thank God she's back safe and sound. children sha, she want 'punish everybody' reminds me of younger days, when we harboured the thoughts that disappearing or even dying would be a perfect payback for perceived maltreatment from parents. As for our compatriots here on this forum, biko pay no mind to them. some of them have no live outside social media, so here's where they catch their fun and take out on people they can't speak to directly in the face in real life. 2 Likes |
Family / Children's Day: The Child As A Pawn/ Victim In Single Parenthood by Odera2016: 12:49pm On May 27, 2023 |
I sincerely wish I've thought this long enough to be able to make a concise, coherent write-up. Bear with me. Single Parenting is becoming a very common reality in our world today, and whereas anybody can claim victim, the only true victim of circumstances remains the child, for it is the child who is being tossed around, wrapped up and hidden to 'cover shame'. It shouldn't be so! Children should be allowed to live their lives to the fullest, nothing in their makeup tells a story that bears the difference we try to impose on them. That said, every child ought to experience the complete joy of parenthood; the best part of the two. This right doesn't change even if both parents, for a reason or the other couldn't stay together. They shouldn't be used as pawns in the ego battles of parents. Shared custody should be a finite family law, unless perhaps one of the parents are a risk of bodily or psychological harm on the child. |
Family / Re: Is Taking My In-law To Court Is Best Option by Odera2016: 2:46pm On Mar 26, 2023 |
I guess the monicker ranting about holding the child till they're about to enter university is the mother. To Op: You wronged by not disclosing your previous child, whatever may be the case, as long as you're not trying to glory in being a deadbeat father, hiding a living offspring is such a big deal. I guess you're worried about people backing out after knowing the truth, but who will be will be, sometimes the best people appreciate and love you more for the truth. They're not doing you any wrong keeping the child from you, if anything, they're building an unbalanced child, a child who would struggle to fit in somewhere in the future, I wish any parent keeping a child away from the other parent should get to know. So whatever you choose to do, choose it with the knowledge and mindset that you're doing it for your child; not for yourself or ego, something your partner isn't doing. |

Frestuffng: Are you okay? No, endeavor to answer the question as it is in a bid to ascertain the status of your mental health. These are heartless criminals, it doesn't matter how or where they met these girls, some are Hoodwinked by job promises (everyone is bleeding financially) some where offered lifts, some were lured by 'trusted friends', some where forcefully taken or kidnapped. 3 Likes |

Slickbishop: Basically cash, the machine, banner or flex, table and you're good to go. I'd advise you get the moniepoint terminal, very fare rates and limited downtime. Goodluck as we continue to empower ourselves where and when the government fails. |

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Should I Quit My Job by Odera2016: 7:55pm On Dec 23, 2021 |
It is unfortunate that Nigerians seem to have this innate trait of looking down on low ranked workers, but bro, kwechiri! Don't quit as it is better than staying idle. If you can trek to work when you're broke, can you consider trekking even if it after work even when you have money to save costs, then in due time save small money to give your mum to start a petty business, that way, any money you give to her will be channelled into keeping the business running until you don't have to give her anymore. With time, you can join her in the business and then talk about quitting. Don't quit unless you're sure of something better coming and when you make it tomorrow, please don't look down on surbordinates. 13 Likes |

Catalin:I dont know which I find more depressing, the fact that I am not with my daughter or people saying she would come asking after me, what if she doesn't? What if something goes wrong in her life and she hates me thinking I it would have been better had I been in her life? What if? What if....? We all see and read how over 40 people lament not knowing their roots... I don't want that for my daughter... I for one can't live with their idea my child is elsewhere and not knowing how she fares 2 Likes 1 Share |

If I had 3kids as it is now, I don't think catering for them would be a problem as I have earnings that can sustain an average family. Rich? I don't think so at least not so rich I could get scared. They too are an average earning family. |

NotOfThis:just learnt court cases are not as clear cut as it is because they operate based on customary laws in cases like this and as is custom with where she is from (IMO) a biological father has no legal or customary claims over a child whose mother's bride price isn't paid. Depressing to say the least. Or is there anyone versed in law here that knows a way around? |

Family / Re: . by Odera2016: 4:38pm On Jan 02, 2017 |
Thanks to all for your valuable contributions even though they all tends towards making me have a rethink. I really wished to cause them more pain than they caused me by forcibly taking the child and making sure they don't get to see her for as long as it took me to see her. But nowvmy resolve is weakened by your wise counsel. Who has an estimate of what it will cost to prosecute a case as this so I can go prepared so as not to be frustrated midway as it is obvious I am on my own on this. |

Right now what I am yet to decide is modus operandi for the kidnap. I.e if to use force like getting some men to invade their house and take the child or to trail her movement and take her. The girl will be 5years in march |

You read me right! Please read carefully to understand why. Bae got pregnant and despite the fact that I was still trying to find my feet we agreed to keep the pregnancy. Though this didn't go down well with the parents, they had no choice but to agree but bae had to stay away from the public eye as parents didnt want to lose their standing in the public eye, she was moved to another location throughout the pregnancy but I still created time to visit, buy stuffs and provide for ante-natal the much I could. Bae put to bed was there and paid the bills later into the child's life, I was stopped from coming to their house and knowing how antagonizing bae's parents had been, I didn't bother cos I thought bae and I had plans and that she was all that mattered. She tactically withdrew and made her line unreachable, she won't tell me why all these where happening, but side talks suggests she said we weren't compatible. That didn't bother so much as I believed she was going to come back to her senses. I made efforts to meet her family with some set of uncles, but as the first meeting didn't go well, they all backed out. (Dad died while I was younger). I was told by all that are supposed to help that I shouldn't bother, since she is a girl that she would get married and that would be all, that if it were to be a boy, they would have advised that I fight for the child. (But I love my daughter and wouldn't have loved her any different even if its a male child). Others said it was a good thing for me as their being on their own gives me the needed space to make something out of my life (but who still cares about money? Not me, I wanted to give that child a father love, the type I got but eventually lost with my dad's demise) So left on my own, I brooded for too long before deciding to move on but not a day goes by that I don't think about my child and unfortunately her mum as I know her well being is somewhat tied to her mum. I still tried making contacts from time to time but they all proved futile, and this December I tried to pay them a visit but was turned back along with the gift o brought for my child. Its been five years and I honestly don't know what my child looks like. My friend suggested the court earlier in the heat of the matter but I declined telling him how it could further provoke them that with time all will be well. Its been 5 freaking years and they go worst. The dad only recently threatened to arrest me. But I think I am ready for war and death right now if it is what it takes to be a part if my daughter's childhood. I wasn't for asking for custody, just visitation or at least a heads up on her affairs! Is that too much to ask? Note that I never abandoned her at any point of her pregnancy neither did I raise any doubt about being responsible, as a matter of fact, I would have married her then had her parents consented. 1 Like 1 Share |
