Man, i hope i no lost my language for this obodo,

haha, I'm not yoruba but grew up in Ibadan and Lagos

won't tell you my name though one of the names in your post is guess it and keep it

during my freshman year, a classmate whose mom was from nigeria was telling us of her experience. she was having a good time with her AA bf in their home when her mama came in. they heard her so the guy jumped up and ran into the bathroom to hide. she sat on the bed but the mom was asking her what just happened here? who was here? the gal was saying she told her nobody. but the mama asked her if she is fooling her own mother that she could feel the smell and was shouting on her voice, lol
she added that the mom went to the kitchen, took the wooden stuff they use to make Amala or pounded yam and went straight into the bathroom, the guy was there but dodge her and ran out. i personally told her that wasn't good to bring in a guy into their home.

we all laughed at it. she still joke abt it with us, it was really funny to her and all of us. well, i think mothers have that instinct, i think a typical nigerian mother will beat the hell out of the child or verbally abuse the child. it will really not be easy for mom to catch their daughters, it is every mother's wish for their daughter to be chaste.

ultrafem, you calling me?

ultrafem:
igbo names are so lovely, especially the uncommon female names, i really like Ijeoma and nneka

Eastcoast:

eastcoast, that was a good one

See the kind advice the guys here dey give our toronto friend, ha!

hotchic, you words are good.

Nigeria should make affordable car so that at least each family can have a car. improve the road and create Road Signs.

i think the live one stinks, but who can tell after it has been slaughtered, so you might have eaten it many times and still eating it mubowa.

my most scariest, I was learning to drive and then i hit on the gate of the high school i was learning in. i was sooooooooo terrified i never laid hand on a car again. spent about 7,000 fixing the front of the car (insurance paid). i started again this year because i really don't have a choice. using the side mirror and seeing other cars behind me send my heart racing even Nl can hear it, 

sigh! make una pray along with me ooo, i need to get my license in less than 2mons time.

Y' all, am sure the wedding don pass already.

let those who like polygamy go get their two ladies and let them (the ladies) show them pepper they havent seen yet  

lol, 

okay i will try that, start from the inside
wear high heel climbing the stairs to the laundry room
wear heel to do vacuuming, dish and other chore in the house
wear heel to water the grass
wear heel to do the lawn

the weather isn't funny now to wear it outside.

hehehehe, am sure going to try them all  and by the time summer comes, am sure gonna be rocking in heels

i didn't even know when 18 came cuz i was so busy asking moi self ''ask not what Nigeria will do for you, but what you can do for moi self"

how to cope? no other way my sister more than to LEAVE. someone will come that will be for you and treat you like a LADY that you are, not one that will be hitting your head on the wall and begging you later, only to do it again. Ndipe is right, it's toxic and not healthy for you dear.

@ OP,

Try talking to your man that it's best to move out to start a new life with you as couples. It's going to be really hard but keep praying and trying. Be prepare to make tough choices too, you both move out or you leave (last option if you can't bear your inlaw's presence). the fault is your guy's you know. That home i presume is his mother's or family home.
