Crime / Re: Udensi Ngozi Opemipo: My Missing Niece Is Now Back Home by Odera2016: 9:41am On Jun 06, 2023
mradjoy:
The previous thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/7713767/udensi-ngozi-opemipo-missing-seen#123550647

I'd like to use this medium to appreciate everyone who empathize with us, those who prayed with us and those who called me from this forum without knowing who I am to offer some valuable advice which partly contributed to her returning back home yesterday on her own volition.

My sincere appreciation goes out to Seun Osewa who swiftly swung into action by moving the thread to the Frontpage immediately after I contacted him.

And to that wonderful journalist who contacted me from The Punch News, they offered to publish it and use their connection to contact the Lagos CP to expedite action on my niece's search.

Lastly to those set of people who's got warped mindset, always thinking every little girl we have in Nigeria are wayward, well, it's not really your fault because if you know how brilliant my niece is, you wouldn't doubt her purity at such tender age. I read so many unruly comments here, but decided to ignore majority of them because I believe it's almost impossible for a brilliant little girl like her, who had near perfect WAEC result at one sitting, and also scored over 300 in JAMB to be wayward at the same time. If you have her as your sister or daughter would you ever have the thought of waywardness towards her?

She had a quarrel with her aunt while her mom was at work, so she decided to punish everybody according to her by leaving the house for them.

She'd initially planned to seize the opportunity to visit her paternal grand parent in Imo state, but on getting to the park, she couldn't afford the fare, she had to go visit her friend somewhere in Ijegun, Lagos instead of heading back to Bariga. I believed her because the tracking result we got from the private tracking guy we employed showed exactly the same thing she'd earlier narrated.

Up until now I never knew there was a tracking system that gives precise location, the street name, the house number, even to the room you're, this tracking system is so effective and powerful to the point of tracking mobile number even when it's switched off.

Now, I was wondering why can't FG use same or better technology to combat insurgency in Nigeria?

So cutting the long story short, we decided to send her a text msg containing those information we gathered about her whereabout and she knew the game was up and decided to call her aunt, then her mom to inform them she was heading home already.

We're happy and glorify God for her safety. Thanks and God bless you all.

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.

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.

Romance / Re: How My Ex Humiliated Me On Christmas Eve by Odera2016: 9:35pm On Dec 29, 2021
GurlFriend:
I see a bunch of threads here created by guys who see nothing good in the women folk, but if I start writing about the evils that men commit, the mods may move the thread to the literature section.

My Experience

I am pretty, well kept and groomed and at an age where although I may not be a spring chick, I am still young enough to attract attention from guys in their early 20s who have no qualms about toasting their elder sister's age mates. I have had my fair share lovers but I am currently sworn off men till such a time I recover from the trauma of my latest experience in the hands of the 'ejaculating gender.'

My now ex, let's call him Kingsley was supposed to be a godsent. He is fair, heavily bearded, handsome and a single father. He is also terrible in bed. TERRIBLE. He doesn't last more than 4 minutes, and once he reaches the four minutes mark, he spurts his disgusting seed into the condom and goes limp for the rest of the time with him. Even if I squeeze and massage his small member like bitter leave, he will remain limp like golden penny noodles.

That did not stop me from giving two years of my life to him because I genuinely loved him and felt I could cope with the terrible sex; man shall not live by nacks alone. I had met his family, he had met mine, we were literally 5 and 6. We fixed the wedding for January 8 next year. I'm looking at the stupid IV as I'm typing this.

So we closed for the year at my work place on December 24th and I decided to spend the evening with him. We had agreed that no more nights over till the wedding since it was barely a month away, so we might as well start living right before God. None the less, I had closed by 2pm, I didn't look forward to spending the whole evening in my hot apartment alone so I, against better judgement went to his place and let myself in. His line of work doesn't give him the luxury of closing early like me, so the apartment was also empty but he has a generator and AC.

I settled in, began watching movies on his laptop. I don't know the devil that pushed me to leave the film I was watching to start snooping through his files. In my two years of dating I have never gone through his phone or PC because if you cherish your peace of mind, never snoop through your partner's devices otherwise you will see things. What you are looking for, you will find it.

He has this folder in his laptop called 'Don Quixote.exe' which I see all the time. I asked him what it was some time back and he casually said they are program files and if I mess with them, I will disorganize his laptop. The same devil I had earlier mentioned pushed me to open Don Quixote, and behold, what did I see?

Gay porn. Man nacking man. Woman nacking woman. My fiance is gay, I think. Or bi-sexual. I don't know. My hands are shaking again.

I'm so hurt. Photos upon photos of homosexual and lesbian contents. But this is not where the story ends.

After the initial shock of these disgusting photos, I was confused, shocked, disappointed. I quickly shut down the laptop, prepared dinner (Indomie) and cried myself to sleep on the bed because I'm a very emotional person. I took Lexotan so I could sleep.

Around 10, I think, Kingley came back. He didn't know I was in the house because I left the lights off. He, however didn't come back alone. He came back with a guest. A male guest. I know this dude is his lover because I know him from the office and I have always been suspicious of his sexuality. What kind of masculine man wears purple skinny jeans and wiggles his bum when he thinks no one is watching? I also saw a TikTok video of this guy dancing, wiggling his bum and twirling his dreadlocks?

That is the colleague Kingley brought home by 10 in the night.

Anyway, Kingley walked into the bedroom, saw me and the guilt written all over his face made me ask him who was in the parlour with him after hearing another male voice. When he couldn't give a coherent answer, I went to the parlour and saw Uncle Purple Skinny jeans. Now added to the gay porn I discovered in his laptop, you will not blame me for having a meltdown. I yelled, screamed, cussed, threw his ring into the toilet and flushed it. I ordered Uber to my parents house that night and spent 25th chopping breakfast with tears.

Two years, with a bi-sexual man. Or maybe he is gay himself. I don't know. He has been begging me not to expose him to his family, but it's too late. I have told my family and they intend to formally let his family know that their daughter cannot marry a 'confused' man, as my father says.

What do men want?! Two years of my life, plus all the wedding expenses, gone down the drain. I am so heart broken and humiliated.

I don't want to say men are scum because I have a wonderful father and loving brothers, so I will leave it. I'm done with men.
You want to start doing women now?



Family / Re: What Do I Do About My Mother by Odera2016: 5:48pm On Dec 27, 2021
tife4eva:
Hello,
My mom is lovely but lately I'm getting fed up with her. She is someone that requires people to do every single thing for her without lifting a finger. Asides earning money to train her children, which I'm forever grateful for.

I can say that all my life, I can count how many times I've seen my mother cook or pick a broom, talkless of lay her bed.

Growing up, I thought it was very normal since our culture is one where you have to be very respectful and help your elders. I have many siblings so we all did everything for the house and for her. But lately, with the older ones settling down and moving out, I'm left with her.

It has gotten to the extent that my unmarried siblings also avoid the house because it's not easy living with her. We got her a maid to help around but it's not a permanent solution especially with expenses.

I'm a student and I came home this break while the maid travels back home for Christmas. The whole situation is quite tiring for me. I was baffled today when, while I was choked up cooking Christmas food for us and guests coming later, she called me to rub cream on her foot, like why can't she do it herself. The fact that she didn't even help with any of the cooking and arrangements was painful enough.

My siblings have given up on her as they believe she's used to it already and she can't change. I've been told that my late dad pampered her and got several maids for her so she has been doing this for so long already. My father died when I was little.

I've taken it as not a big deal but I'm beginning to think of moving to another state after graduation just because of this issue. cry

I don't know whether to confront her about her attitude. Or whether that would make me disrespectful or ungrateful to her.
and when she's dead and gone, you would wish for a moment that she can come back and have you do all those things for her and more

I have saved up some money and want to start a pos terminal business in Lagos.I have no idea how it is being run or the cost implications of it.can someone put me through about the business?

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.

Odera odesigo I will advise you to leave the child alone for now, the most stupid thing you will do is to kidnap her. Why not hustle for money, and then when she grows up I tell you she will definitely ask her m about father's whereabout. I assure you. Give it time and don't make rash decisions that will ruin your relationship with your daughter.
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

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:
Kudos for wanting to be in your child's life. But after 5 years of allowing them to overstep their boundaries you've concluded that kidnapping her is the solution, really? You're her biological father and have the right to be in her life; no kidnapping needed. Take the family to court and get your justice. Kidnapping isn't the way forward.
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?

Don't you think that will make them dislike you more plus you will blamed when the issue is to be judged by outsiders.....keep ur cool n take legal actions if you can afford one BT if you cant I would advice you find a way (nt kidnapping o) to talk to "bae" talk sense into her brain dah you want to av access to ur child......if that doesn't work....ermmmm try it first
talking to her is out of the case as it is clear her mind is made up an sealed. They say a wise man sometimes changes his mind. I will play the wise one now and back track on my initial plan following the good counsel of the house. I appreciate

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
Family / . by Odera2016: 1:35pm On Jan 02, 2017
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.
