Travel / Re: I Finally Went Back To Nigeria After 14 Years! (surreal) by omega25red(m): 8:31pm On Jun 08, 2016
churific:
Disclaimer:
I was only able to explore Owerri and the neighboring areas (Port Harcourt, Umuahia, Etiti, etc) so I can only speak for those areas. Lagos is obviously the ultimate litmus test for Nigeria and I'll get a chance to explore it later this year. And also, my thoughts in this post were not later organized: I found it best to just leave them in the order they entered my mind so you'll get a sense of what I felt and saw.

I.
Somehow I convinced myself that I was ready for the heat and human-sized mosquitoes with teeth that were clearly laughing and waiting for me to fall asleep! I do have to admit that SC Johnson's OFF and Cutter's Skinsations really work! I was 100% sure that these mosquitoes would turn me into a buffet but the products kept them at bay for most of the night. Even the brave ones that came really close in an attempt to impress the female mosquitoes couldn't get a single successful bite! I do have to confess that I was a bit unnerved when two mosquitoes comfortably landed on Cutter's Skinsations insect repellent as if to suggest - This crap won't work on us buddy, THIS IS AFRICAAA! I thought to myself, 'I am royally screwed!'

II.
The Nigeria I left was definitely much more conservative than this one. The city centers are booming, however, in the rural areas, much of the infrastructure remain the same which is a bit disappointing. It is encouraging, however, that we are following suite with China by bypassing the landline era and catapulting, slowly but surely, into the wireless revolution. I'm still a bit shocked that Abuja and Port Harcourt international airports have just 1 runway each and everything, I mean EVERYTHING, was extremely manual and slow...I''m actually a bit salty and ashamed of that! The fashion is definitely more advanced and westernized than any other sector....there's clearly a Brazilian hair and makeup revolution in Nigeria.

III.
The whole drive to the hotel was hard to explain...good roads, bad roads, horrendous roads; military and police personnel everywhere; lots of checkpoints, chaotic corners and squares, orderly disorder and complete disregard for any sensible traffic suggestion...With this sort of self regulation on the roads, how are there not more accidents? It was obvious after a few minutes that the street signs, and traffic markers, were available, were just suggestions to be ignored at the driver's convenience..Parking spaces are clearly not part of any construction project...the streets and highways are the best spots to part your car. There's no parking anywhere!

IV.
My first taste of Owerri was rice and stew with beans, fried plantain and chicken.I must say, it was worth every second of the 14 years that I was away. And of course I proceeded to devour akamu and beans the next morning for breakfast and finally pounded yam and egusi soup. No food marriage has brought more happiness to my life than egusi coupled with pounded yam. I ate a lot. If it weren't for the scorching heat, I would have added at least 10 pounds of stomach. I do have to admit that I'm still a bit on edge, anxious and defensive given all the scary' stories but so far so good. It's definitely been quite the trip already...hard to explain all the mixed emotions but this is home...For better or for worse, this is home.

VI.
Electricity went off 7 times my first night. Scared the crap out of me each time to be in complete darkness in an unknown territory. Lol...Thank God my dad brought me a rechargeable torch that I forever glued to my sides!

VII.
I compared Nigeria go China...not even close. It's more like India...especially New Delhi...crowded, bustling with interesting air quality and questionable planning overall. China is definitely much more advanced and developed...and much cleaner too. It takes a few hours for your senses to adjust to the sounds, sight invasions and smells. I also thought that China was as hot as Nigeria, maybe slightly cooler. Far from true! China is warm at best compared to Nigeria. I'm not even sure how to explain the heat. It's obvious that the sun is purposefully slow-roasting my people to medium-well temperatures. If I spend another week in Nigeria, I'd be medium well at the least. I arrived in Nigeria already dark black and just 5 days into my trip, I'm midnight black; close your eyes...YES, that black! I'm talking PIKABOO black. This is ridiculous how people live without air-conditioning. I walk for 2 minutes and I feel like I'm showering in the sun...sweat literally drip down all body parts.

Here's my summary video snipets:

Thank you and remain blessed! There's definitely hope for Nigeria and Africa. Progress is inevitable.

Why would a girl come back after 5 months?
I dont think I love her anymore. I dont know what I feel towards her anymore. I dunno if it's hatred or love.
No insults pls. Just pass by if you dont like my post.
Her azz got slayed by the dude she left you for and after he was done with her, he dumped her. now she is back to claim the mugu she left behind. that could be the reason

Romance / Re: I'm Married, But... by omega25red(m): 4:03pm On Jun 06, 2016
valentineIK:
I'm quite confused... I need some Advise, PLEASE!

Sometime last year, around December, I attended a wedding of a friend's sister. I met this young lady (btw, my wife didn't attend the wedding, she was out of the country).

This lady and I got talking. I was intrigued by her intelligence, plus the fact that she's beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I didn't start up a conversation with her to flirt. It was a plain discussion, but her views and thoughts were intriguing. We exchanged numbers and started talking regularly. It's just been a normal friendship, no crazy discussions, though I never told my wife about her cos I felt it was no big deal. Meanwhile, this lady has no idea that I'm married - she never asked, and I never brought it up.

Lately, I noticed I've developed some sort of feelings for her. Not that I'm in love with her, but I don't feel complete if I don't hear from her. I know this is so strange, considering the fact I'm married with 2 kids. But there's this chemistry between us. I feel lyk av know her all my life whenever we speak on fone.

I dunno wat to do, I may be falling in love with her. I know I should tell her I'm a family man, but what if I loose her friendship? I feel like she's my soulmate.

Please what do I do?
The path you are walking on is a slippery slope. The questions you should ask yourself are
1. if your wife found out what would be her reaction
2. why hasn't she ever asked if you are attached? could she also be attached?
3. if given the chance would you sleep with the woman? and if you do then what?
4. are you willing to face the consequences of possibly cheating? (you are cheating already emotionally)
5. since your friendship has developed to feelings for you, don't you think it's time to back off?
6. Would you divorce your wife for what you think is new and fresh and if you do, when you hook up with the woman how long before you get bored again
7. Are there issues in your marriage that need attention? (Doesn't have to be fight but maybe you and the wife don't see enough etc)

The sooner you tell her that you are married with kids the better for you so that she can at least back off if she has started developing feelings for you as well. or you can just keep all this to yourself and never make a move and find the value in the life you have with your wife and kids

well they aren't planning to come back for now. And selling everything provides the cash needed to make it to where ever they want to go.

m not jealous, I respect him a lot.


but the problem is that I can't evn talk to him because I overheard his convo on phone nd he is not aware
Then charge your phone and leave. Or would you prefer he ask you to leave?
Romance / Re: Should I Let Him Fornicate? by omega25red(m): 3:20pm On May 31, 2016
poster the least you could have done is to talk to him about it instead of awkwardly standing around like a weirdo. if you talked to him and then leave, its his life and its up to him to decide.

So when did you leave? and do you think you waiting around would stop him from having sex with the next woman? i won't accuse you of being jealous but you should have spoken out if you were really concerned.
Romance / Re: Please Read, Advice Me by omega25red(m): 1:40pm On May 31, 2016
wait wait wait. she lied about being pregnant to get money from you and then says she is no longer interested in the relationship but would stay only if you give her money.

Boy if you don't get outta here with this bs.......
na by force to love? see how you are being treated because you are pnssy whipped. The worst part is you stupidly gave her the money just to keep her in a relationship she doesn't want to be in (prostitution)

i will give you no advice because you continue to be blinded by pnssy

if curses were real most of the human population will not be in existence. Living your life afraid of such will keep you in a cage forever. you should call the girl's mother to tell her what you found out and tell her the truth of what happened.

I have been having some issues with my girlfriend for some months now. what I noticed is, she has a male friend she is so into, that she doesn't mind hurting me just to protect the guy...... i'm so confused now because she is still doing everything she does for me before, yet she makes phone calls daily with the guy and deletes all her chat with him anytime she is with me
Couldn't help it but i corrected your grammar

have you met the guy? might be time to set that girl free if she is clearing her chat and hiding info regarding her friendship with the guy in question

actually, from honest questioning, she hasn't been having extramarital affairs, and I believe her...

She actually happens to be a hair dresser, and that profession is an at risk group for HIV aids and other blood born transmissible infections..... she would have gotten it from a needle prick
do you mind explaining what a needle has to do with hair dressing? im honestly ignorant of this

I used to think that my future sister in law was a nice person and we got along ok. (She has child and is a divorce)But that has changed , she's completely a different person now , this woman has also manged to change my brother. Whenever my mom calls them over or arranges a family gathering this woman doesn't even want to be there she has this look on her face like 'nobody talk to me' that b1tch asś look ! U know what. Anyway she stays for no longer than 10 minutes and heads right outside to her car and texts my brother to come out so they can leave!!!! I mean how DISRESPECTING !! She doesn't even say bye to her mother in law or no one and my brother is becoming just like her! How can someone change a person like this in such a short period of time?
