What is 'ping'?

vivienpaddy: My parents said dat I won't relocate to Lagos if I don't get a good job there.

Evil parental control. Enough said

richeyy: Hmmm...I'm just hearing/reading this for the first time o! Source please...

Then you must be very young

Blimey

This story is not unique, unfortunately. In the 60s a lot of women followed their men to the UK, worked day and night to sponsor their education etc (the arrangement being that once the man graduated and got a job, he would start working and the woman would start her own education). Anyway, mostly, once the man graduated, he would convince the woman that they should return to Nigeria and settle down there. The woman would pack up, move back to Naija, the man would get a lucrative job with his 'pali' from the UK, the woman would be relegated to a housewife or some lowly job, the man would one day 'wake up' and say, "sorry, you are not my category. I need to marry a graduate" and pack madam's load out.

There's lots of curses on some people's heads, no be small. God help us

(forgive any grammatical error in advance )

It's starting again on Monday

Someone I know said they're gonna be on that programme due to be aired on Sunday. Is there a way I can view this maybe Youtube or summat? Thanx.

Hang on guys.

Maybe the OP was caught in bed with his sister-in-law by his wife and wants to prepare for whatever his missus will mete out as she has not said anything. By posing this question, he'll know what the majority of peeps would do about it. Dat's all

Now a toddler has been left without a mum and if the dad is sent down, without a dad. She'll probably be passed from one relative to another

I did the registry office; then church wedding; and the traditional one

Will the Nigerian government not help if she returned to Naija?

There should be assistance in cases like this surely or what are the taxes for?

Has your wife been unfaithful?

I personally don't think she should marry either one of them

It's not easy over here. I haven't read through the entire post but her stay-at-home position could be causing the brouhaha between them. Before she arrived in London, when hubby goes out to work, the light is off, gas is off, television is off. Now, all these things are on when wifey is at home adding to the bills. The telephone is probably also been used more. Internet is hopefully broadband and not pay-as-you-go (dial up).

Once she starts working and contributing to the household, things will calm down but I do agree that her hubby is an ar5e-hole though as he shouldn't take his frustrations out on his wife.

My tuppence worth

Thanks for this. I googled what Nigerians can eat instead of carbs and came across this thread. I now know that I am eating too much rice!! I am under 10stones but need to lose my belly. I still look pregnant even though son is 2 years old I exercise daily but belly is still large so I reckoned it's my food and as our food contains lots of carbs, wondered what on earth I could eat instead.

I'll replace the rice with couscous, thanks

My husband is mine alone. Wetin you dey talk?

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=556683.msg7225178#msg7225178 date=1290816043]Whaaaaat! Why! Does it hurt when people stop breastfeeding, can't even remember sha Er. . .thinking out loudly, if Daddy takes over from where baby stopped, would it still hurt [/quote]If daddy takes over, the milk would never stop flowing The pain's subsided now though (the next day was the worst ever as it was very hard and engorged and lumpy with milk )

I think the boy is beginning to forget about it now though he still tries it on. He'll come to me with his sweet little smile and touch my chest but I start tickling him which makes him run away from me

aysometin:
Now I feel like a bad mother

I agree with Plappville - at least you gave it a go. Some women don't attempt bfing at all. Don't worry. So far baby is happy, mum is happy And he is thriving I didn't exclusively breastfeed the first 6 months because of some campaign. It was due to laziness as I can't be ar5ed getting out of bed https://bestsmileys.com/lol/3.gif

gestapo:
Age 2, no way .As soon as they get to that age whereby they come and lift your top/blouse to get to the bosom, na shikena be that Is there any health benefit for a child suckling after the age of one or do they just do this for comfort?

And that's exactly what he was doing. He'd lift my top up and scream very loudly, "MILK!!". It was so embarrasing https://bestsmileys.com/blushing/5.gif I'm pretty sure he was sometimes using me as a dummy

I'm relieved it's all over now https://bestsmileys.com/happy/7.gif

I exclusively breastfed him for the first 6 months i.e. no other feeds (it was very tiring https://bestsmileys.com/sleeping/9.gif ) then he started solids which I still mixed with breastfeeding.  Whenever he felt poorly, he would completely go off his solids and would only want my milk 

He also suckles constantly throughout the night so I stopped putting him in his bed as I was always back and forth.  He slept next to me, wanted a suckle, I'd whip it out, stick it in his mouth and we'd both fall asleep 

Now, that I have stopped, he sleeps with his dad and when he cries in the night because he wants the b o o b i e s, hubby has to take him downstairs and feed him porridge or something light before they come back to bed.  I'm praying he stops the night feeding altogether now so we can have some quality sleep 

And yes, plappville, when he was teething, he has given me a couple of bites 

Thanks https://bestsmileys.com/kissing1/1.gif

She should have twisted the story and said: "Oh no, you have spoilt the surprise. I booked a hotel for us to spend time together as we rarely see each other. It was going to be a second honeymoon and now you have ruined it I bought the condoms because it is not a safe time and I didn't want us to worry about unplanned pregnancy. So, you don't trust me".

She would then angrily start packing some stuff into a suitcase and tell him she is leaving him. He would then have to start begging her.

Dat's all

Thanks guys. I must say my b o o b s are killing me now though

Wouldn't shower with Yorisb

I'm an Omo Alata

And bosoms are not my words (who uses bosoms nowadays ) I said b o o b i e s

I gave him the last breastmilk on his 2nd birthday. After suckling, I said, "happy birthday son, say goodbye to the bosom". He's been screaming and crying for it but I was knackered ojare

Now hubby is not happy because he has to get up with him in the night

My boobs are now my own. Sexy bras here I come

Thank you funkybaby. That's very very helpful

I have photos we took when we visited Nigeria 2 months ago so no probs there. I'll get on to it straightaway. Thanks once again.

Right!! Me again NLanders 

My 32 year old sis in Lagos wants to come over to 'visit' (unsure if she wants to return but that's another topic).  Anyway, she has a 1 year old kid whom she's planning on leaving with our mum (I'm against this but keeping schtum).

How is the best way to go about this?  Do I just invite her over on a visit?  She has no job in Naija nor husband/partner.  Her tie over there is her kid and my mum (and other siblings).

Someone said I need a reason to invite her over but I'm not having a baby nor getting wed  (done that, got the t-shirt  )

Someone else said invite her over as a student which means I need to get her admission etc 

Another person said get her a work permit so she comes over on employment.

I've been given lots of different ways so relying on you folk as a last resort.  Thanks.
