I can't just stop laughing, i read your post over a minute ago and i'm still laughing as i'm typing 

I don't think it does exist because no one is 100% perfect, even when you think you have a perfect one something suddenly out of the blue might happen that taints that perfection, but very good relationships does exist though.

Definitely Genevieve, she's beautiful

Honesty is the policy was how parents brought us up but as an adult (i don't mean to sound bad) honesty is not always the best policy, if you know your marriage is strong enough to survive this, then go ahead and tell him, but personally i would say you shouldn't, as he's already accused you of cheating on him before marriage, he might think you've been doing it all along, as you said you don't enjoy sex with him, he could have figured this out too himself but his ego might not have let him say nothing now telling him you cheated on him could be a disaster, he could put two and two together and get six and thought the reason why you dont enjoy it with him is because you were getting it elsewhere, but if you know that someone knows what you've done and could tell him, then i'll say it's better it comes from you but if not dont, but pls dont do it again, try and work on your marriage.

About not enjoying sex with him, well i think it's might have to do with you bitter with him, what i mean is that, you might still feel angry about him accusing you of cheating on him two months before marriage, you said he later found out it wasn't the case, that means he must have gone to some extent to find out if it was true or not and that couldn't have been pleasant for you, it could be he spoke to your friends, ex's, family etc, he could have even been he threatened to call it off if he found it was true, i really don't know if things went these way but if it did then surely you'll still be bitter as pain during sex (if not medical) could be a sign that mentally your heart was not into it but physically you're into it , which could make you not sexual arouse, and could make you feel not passionate about making love to him, the only way out is to talk about it, tell him how you felt when he accused you of cheating, sometimes just saying sorry is not enough, he might need to make it up to you somehow also tell him you heard his voice mail as that would also be eating you up as he needs to apologise for being hyprocritical , also find a way to spice up things, e.g go away for a romantic weekend, you don't have to travel out, book an hotel room for example, have romantic meals, (restaurants, let him cook for u, take away etc), do things you do when dating etc you might start seeing him in a different light.

i can be too ambitious, i tend to look at most things from business point of view

I came across this on another website and all i could say was how well put, i shared it with some friends and i thought i should also share it with fellow nairalanders.

Quite an Interesting Read,

I think this is a good read. Hope we can learn from this. Just something to meditate on for those of us that are married, those thinking about it and those newly weds,  here it goes according to the authour:

During one of my current research on relationship, a lady asked a common question.

She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"

I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?"

In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind. Here's the answer.

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fall in love with your spouse. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse/partner wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love,  Because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something exciting just engulfed you.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.

But after a few years of marriage/courtship, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship.

Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always
welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse/partner might start asking, "Did I marry the right person? Or am I dating the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone
else.


This is when marriages/relationships breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage/relationship for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.

Infidelity is the most obvious, but sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage/relationship, it lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else, you could, & TEMPORARILY you'd feel better.

But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE/RELATIONSHIP IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT
PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labour of love.

"Because it takes time, effort, and energy . And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage/relationship work. Make no mistake about it.

Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your
spouse) to succeed with your marriage/relationship. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger.

It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable. , you can "make" love. Love in marriage/relationship is indeed a "decision",  Not just a feeling.


Remember this always "God determines who walks into our life; it is up to us to decide who we let walk away, who we let stay, and who we refuse to let go."

I came across this on the internet and i thought it might be helpful:

Hi Gobi,

Development fee is is a fee that has to be paid, i was not aware of it myself untill i started contruction, representatives of the lagos state goverment drove by and demanded it, you'll be issued a receipt to state you've paid, which you have to keep well in case they drive by again, it a one off payment to the government, it's one of the levy imposed on house builders, it can't be avoided especially in that area. The  omo onile fee will still stand unfortunately, these amount varies from area to area, some area ask for the whole amount upfront where as in some area you pay as development progresses,  i paid a total of N300 to the omo onile's, my site is on off lekki epe epress way, mine amount was even better as i know someone that paid about N500 upfront, i got away with that amount with negotiating and cause cement and blocks used was purchased from an omo onile as well, i paid N50 for foundation out of N100 demanded, then N100 when decking it, then another N100 for roofing and finally N50 for fencing, it was a nightmare cause at one time during roofing, i instructed the contractor not to pay and see what happens, let just say it would have been easier to have paid when asked, tools were siezed on site and  one of the wokers contructing the roof frame was dragged down and got injured, it was entually paid as they order work to stop.

About the price of 7.5m, the best part of lekki phase 2 goes for atleast 20m if not more now, so the deal you got is quite a good one, the block number and plot number always determines the price you pay in lekki, but still make sure all papers are throughly checked and verified before parting with your money.

A guy works in the customer service call center of a national pager company. He deals with the usual complaints regarding poor pager operation, as well as the occasional crank caller demanding to be paged less often, more often, or by more interesting people.

The best call came from a man who repeatedly complained that he keeps being paged by "Lucille." He was instructed that he would have to call her and tell her to stop paging him.

"She never leave no number, so I can't call her back," he said.

After three such calls, someone thought to ask how he knew it was Lucille if she didn't leave a number.

"She leaves her name," was the reply.

After establishing that the customer had a numericonly pager, the light bulb came on.

"How does she spell her name?" the service rep asked.

"L-O-W C-E-L-L"

Problem solved.

Hi,

These passports and the other documents that comes with are quite useless, they are not accepted and recognised anywhere, i think fraudster are behind them, they are based in the US, you can never get to talk to them, yes they would give a phone number but try calling and they'll tell you to put your request into writing and post to the adress provided, a friend of mine applied for it many years ago, before she applied, ahe asked if i've ever heard of such, i replied no and told her not to waste her money, she went ahead and applied anyway and yes the passport arrived with loads of gibrish stating that she's now a citizen of the world (as if there's anything as such) i told her that if it was authentic then every would be doing it, documentation that comes with the passport states that she doesn't require visas to travel to anywhere in the world as all port of entry is opened to citizens of the world, if this was true then all embassies would have been closed, considering all what i said she then try calling to ask questiones but was told they can't talk on the phone and to put her questions in writing, she did of course but never got a reply which is why i couldn't help laughing when i came across this thread as i still can't believe after many years this world passport trend is still going on.

I searched for the company's name (DOVE CREST ALLIANZE INCOOPERATION) and was amazed that the company has no website and nothing relating to it came up on the internet. How can a company into all what you said they into including internet marketing in your previous thread not have a website?  People are much much smarter nowadays than ever, nobody is going to part with money without investigating thoroughly.

Hi,

The barbing salon and restaurant seem quite an excellent idea, they are the kind of business that runs for many years, the night club is also a good idea but the thing with all night clubs is that they tend to have certain shelve life, when it's new people will flock in, but problems might start as soon as a new club opens, you might have to work really hard to then draw back your regulars, in most cases most goes down under but not all, make sure you do lots of research, watch out for competition and remember location is very important.

quite interesting.
