She no wan loose her benefits. And he is probably already homing somewhere with another welfare maid, likely in the area. That child is probably better off with the mother for now. 🥱🥱

A reason the man don't want to associate cuz he knows she's using the son for her selfish interests

speaking of andrenaline
I won't forget in our former house.
When a visitor a man wearing cap came knocking at our door. I was washing plates so I heard the knock and open the door.
The man asked if my mother was home. I said yes thinking it was a visitor that came to see her.
I told my mum someone came to see her
She stood up and went to see him while I go back to wash plate

Next thing I hear my mum shouting at the man, insulting him. I ran out immediately to see what was happening.

To my greatest shock
I saw this man point a pistol at my mother
While my mother stood there and was shouting at him and insulting him.
I thought this was the end
I was begging her mummy please sorry
Omo the man was just confused still pointing the gun at her. She sef stand there like rock dey insult the man.
First time my heart beat so fast I could hear it

Next thing the man pull down the pistol and put it inside black bag and ran off.
My mama still dey ginger told me to look out the window and see if he came in car that I should copy his plate number.

Me wey still dey shake with fear I just dey stumble. I literally saw the man enter Vboot and drive off. This was early 2000's

Omo later that day
We did family meeting and my dad kept asking her what made her stand when someone pointed a gun at her face.

She said till this day she don't know what entered her and gave her that kind morale.

Imagine me seeing someone pointing pistol at my mother while she is just firing the man with insults, daring him to shoot. Omo

Later I realize it's probably adrenaline that made her act in such way. Very crazy stuff

Adrenaline = Fight or flight, at that point the fight adrenaline took the best of her

In the last two years, things have not been going well with my brother and his wife. My brother will call me and lament about his wife's behaviour, he told me that anytime they have a misunderstanding, this lady changes the key and locks him out in the cold. Though he's the one who pays the rent and all the bills, the lady gets child support and spends lavishly on unnecessary things while the apartment is given to his wife by the government.

But the last one she did, my brother left the house and swore never to have anything to do with her again. Even my brother did it to the extent that he requested the DNA of the son; unfortunately, he's the owner.

This lady has been begging everyone, and both her parents and some family members have travelled down to our place to plead on her behalf, but my brother insisted he's not interested in the marriage again.

He was scouting with one of our cousins before, and we thought that when he got tired, he'd move back home as usual, but this man has gotten an apartment and does not let anyone know the location.

The worst of it all is that he did not talk to his 7-year-old son and didn't take on any responsibilities for him again.

The boy keeps crying to see his dad, but my brother keeps saying her mother is only using him to get his attention, saying the boy will see him when it's the right time.

This lady called me last week and said he wanted to pack from the house and my brother should come move all his belongings, but my brother sent me back to her that she should throw everything away, he mentioned that the lady can frame him up or call the police for him and turn to legal battles.

I believe whatever happened between them, the boy did not cause it, and cutting off his only child emotionally and financially is not self-protection but abandonment.

I know marriage can end, but fatherhood should not. You can abandon marriage and still fully show up as a father. The two are not the same contract

All the family are tired, and even I, his closest brother, am tired. I only want him to be a responsible dad to his only child.

Please, what can I do? I really love my brother and want peace for him, however I pity his child.

Let the wife release the son to the father

I'm proudly number one. If you don't apologize to me as a woman when YOU'RE AT FAULT forget about anything that has to do with communication with me.

Just dey your dey make I dey my dey until you're back to your senses.

I'm real, if I'm mad I'm mad, if I forgive I forget. No pretense

KobolanderSegun:
If you took out the time to read the extremely short Topic you will see I never spoke about Marriage, I spoke about dating and getting married there was no reference to married life.
What is the difference between working for a company and getting married ? There is absolutely no difference because the two are about work and commitment and relationships with people.
When I work a job I am commiting my time, mind and body to that company, when a woman is in a relationship she is commiting her time, mind, energy, emotions and her body to you

So if I'm dating your sister and I see someone more beautiful or richer I should jilt your sister's right?

Your analogy is as flaw as a skunk azz.

LORDKing001:
500m naira. Ahhhh for how much him loot?
Next government will also probe current one. The cycle continues

Nigeria government is just funny... You steal billions, they come for you for their own share "bail" and you're free 😂

sweerychick:
Hmm how on earth would AJ allow someone without license drive him? Well for all those criticizing people saying Nigeria happened to AJ I guess you can see the truth here.

Nigeria did actually happened to AJ because he hired a driver with no license to drive him knowing fully well that they'll get away with it from officials, because no police or other checkpoints can stop them. I understand the trauma AJ would be going through now

You don't need a driver's license before you can drive cars. Driver's license is just paper government give to you so they can take money from you.

Having driver's license won't save from the inevitable.

Doing a drug test is time dependent. If you take it today and do the test after some days, nothing will show. Wetin even concern us. Abegiiii

Waited after months of withdrawal to go and do test 😂

When you're so poor to an extent being rich taste diabolical

dominique:
The last one I saw was in Lagos on the Oshodi-Lagos/Abeokuta expressway route a few years and my jaws literally dropped in surprise. I think it's safe to say they've completely gone extinct and good riddance to that.

Extinct ke? You'll always see the in Oshodi... It just most are not yellowish anymore

So I can celebrate 2 Christmas in a month... Nice one

Rivers state there won't be casualties, most of them can swim... Would have been a different game if it was to be Lagos

Will end up marrying a chronic cheater... Women don't like outright true. That's why playboys get more cookies than guys who are real.

Did he finish secondary school? If yes, then what are schools of today teaching?

A SS graduate should be able to command good English.

University won't improved your English, if you failed PS/SS.

Foundation of English is PS and SS. It's better he gets private tutors or return back to SS.

chatinent:
Are some "special" people able to create polls to their posts on Nairaland while others are not?

Or are the mods the ones attaching it?

I'd like to know.

That's nairaland new update

crazygod:
Chief, Arsenal go beat us like Boys Brigade. You can bet on that.

Liverpool will win arsenal, it'll be sold out games because millions will stake against Liverpool.

Remember football bodies and betting companies are business partners.

Betting companies will wreck in billions and give them their cut.

Possible outcome will Liverpool wins or draw... Bookmark this

Psady:
if truly it all boils down to description , then the law has just been pre occupied, I trust my country people, It's now a game of catch me if you can.

If it's all about description, Nigerians are the most clever people on earth 😂

sreamsense:
Keep deceiving yourself alone! You are seriously missing out!! I am a witness of many answer to prayers from God. You make your sense not to work beyond local engineering description you made for yourself and that is where you created more problem for yourself. There are things that if you don't pray or miss the chance, they will not come to play. If God tells you fast and pray for something comming, if you are arrogant and not obidient, but waiting naturally in the context of your description; disaster will hit you and you will mix out.

I remember in a day at night, God shew me the dream of how to get solution to multi-fold problem I was in around 3am/4am. He gave me interpretation to the dream when I was thinking about the dream around 5/6am. I never prepared to go out that day or week to where he shew me to go on that dream and my I had not even barbed my hair so I was never prepared to go out. But he told me never to delay, and I must go to that place that same day.

Later I found out I still have money for transportation in my pocket, if I go there and nothing happened, then I will come back home and sleep, then I will have rest of mind. Behold, I entered bike and went there, as I come down from bike; I paid the bike man, the bike man turned to go and I adjusted myself towards the direction of the bike man to avoid smashing my leg from the back. Behold the same color motor I saw in my dream, and the same person God wanted me to see that could solve all my piled up problem then was comming. He parked to exact spot I saw in my dream in real life, I was happy it was God that talked to me and reason why I came when people and even the man would have called wrong time.

When the man parked well, I ran to the man to greet and explain my problem, and that I have been trying to look for him, but not possible. After explaining, he told me to follow him and directed his staff to attend to me. That same days, all my problems that would have taken me minimum of five years to solve were solved in a single day. Everything God showed to me in the dream happened on real life match to match. So, I follow your wait naturally and rely on your logic, it means I will mix it.

Another incidence like that also happened one day I traveled to a new state I had never been to fot once or ever had any relative close or distant. One thing led to other, I ran out of money then due to following wrong route to go back, so I squandered money meant for me to return, then I became stranded. I entered one school to sit down and think on solution; I saw a bench close to me. I knelt down to pray to God, I did not sleep at all; it was not more than 2mins to my prayer that I entered into a trance (not dream). In that trance God showed me where to go and what will happen there.

When I came back from my senses, I knew it was God talking to me and wanted me to go to where he showed me. Unfortunately, he didn't show me way to that place, but showed me what will happen in that place. There were about four or five routes where I didn't really knew which direction to go to activate where God wanted me to go. But I just focused one one direction and started moving along that road. I didn't know it was God leading me into the right direction.

When I got to a point, I stopped to do another thing that came to my mind(not that I knew it was the place God was talking to me), I looked to see somebody in charge, but I couldn't see anybody. Then, I decided to open one small gate attached to that building with hope I will see someone to talk to. Behold, as I opened the gate, it was exact man I saw in my trance just few minutes ago I saw and raise his hands to call me from afar as it happened exactly in that trance.

At the end of the day, he gave me job and money and ordered his manager to always find job for me to do anytime I come around even if there was no job for others or anybody, he should give me money for that day. Me that was looking for only transport money, just immediately turned it to working place where I raised money for myself not knowing God purposely used that tactics to delay me for greater things I came to do in that state.

So, I follow rule of thumb and logic waiting for things to unfold and play naturally, then; I will mix my chance. If you humble yourself and erase all these junkies from your brain; God is closer to you than you think. He sees the end from the beginning, he knows the best for you. He answers prayers everytime, people receive differ testimonies.

If you allow just small education you have turned you against God, then you have yourself to blame.people that are more educated than you and people that are not educated up to you are receiving answers and testimonies to their prayers being answered. Humble yourself, and get closer to God. He despises arrogant person, you can't expect Him to answer you when you think you know more than God, then; you should answer yourself

Lol, I'm familiar with your stories, I've heard thousands of them.
You need to know how the human mind works. (that's your engine room)

God has done his job perfectly and given you all it takes... Your prayers are inconsequential.

If prayers moved God, the earth would have ended long ago.

The tricks your mind played with you after you "prayed" got nothing to do with God.

benardtotti:
I'm not a fan of bello but he tackled security, kogi was not this bad security wise , this current governor i dont understand his style .

He doesn't deserve any political office, let's be sincere.

sreamsense:
It never works for somebody like you that doesn't believe in it because you don't have personal relationship with God as your father to seek His face on daily basis. It will not work for those that are full of pride and prove to even know more than God in their arrogance. You need humility to walk with God and get your prayer answered.

If he doesn't answer your prayer for that item, is either he gets better options for you or that thing may harm you. He knows the end from the beginning. When you are closer to Him, he will order your steps and reveal His mind to you in the language you can understand. Countless of testimonies abound across praying centers daily because God answers their prayers.

When you allow your education and logic to kill your senses thinking God doesn't answer prayers despite you see even the professor emeritus giving testimonies of God intervention and answer.to their prayers, then blame yourself and not God. Come down from the ladder of arrogance and ware garment of humility, so you can begin to see result to your prayers.

If prayers works then God's flaw. If you contact an engineer after he's done with your house to come and fix something, it means the engineer did something wrong or did a quack job.

Stop viewing God from point of religion.

Your prayers are cunning ways humans to try to emotionally blackmail God to do their bidding.

God is time, what you're praying for... Either you "pray" for it or not, it will happen when the time it was programmed comes.

If he new your end before your beginning, your prayers are inconsequential.

Don't view God will religion books/knowledge, those are men handiwork.

Let nature teach you who God is.

Honestly can't remember last I visited bank... Since 2020 when I stopped using atm card.

Most people visit banks these days for complaints and not transactions

Sex matter again in 2026?

Should I start listing perverts in the Bible? David o, Samson o, Solomon o...

Let's focus something fruitful this year

Funny it never works but they don't give up

A failed governor and the worse of all the 36 states still want to contest for a political office.
The dude that used a billion naira from his state purse to pay his children school fees.

Nigeria is a crime scene.

femmy2010:

manuelkel:

manuelkel:

You fit no get something make another person get am. So no reason am.

Then say he was lucky... You can ask 50 people price of something and they tell you 50k, you get lucky and get at 45k and then concluded the price is 45k... You're not being fair.

ello29:
IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE NOT IN LAGOS. THIS IS A REALITY ON GROUND. YOU JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH AND PRETEND TO BE LOOKING FOR A HOUSE TO RENT IN LAGOS SO THAT YOU HEAR DIRECTLY FROM THE AGENT. AND STOP SAYING ITS NOT TRUE AND FAKE

No mind them, those list are way cheaper than reality... I've been house haunting for the past 3 months

crossbreedwears:
The rate at which some developers and landlords demand for ridiculous fee, you'll think making money is easy. Why should I pay a total package of 2.6m for 2 bedroom in Yana??

Naso agent and agreement fee 600-800k

For trashy house... Oya make I use dey money renovate your faulty doors and ceiling you say no... Don't forget those demanding 2 years rent for a 1.5m rent

manuelkel:

femmy2010:
