minor injury joor... why do people like to degenerate common issues, this is a case btw madam and housemaid, those days as a kid, if we misbehave mum will wake u up in the middle of ungodly hour with whip, after scouring u, u will stand up like electric pole and be receiving unending advise, by 4am she will tell u to go and sleep by 6everyone is up for morning devotion b4 7:30 u are off to school, in the class u will be shaking ur head like agama lizard because of lack of quality rest the previous night, those days I thought mum hates me, now I'm an adult I finds out mum and dad really tried by giving me good parental discipline.. dad once mistakenly injured my head because I bought biscuits with my offering money, after whipping me mercilessly, if I want to eat my offering money and remember the whipping I go kukuma respect my mouth, train a child in a way when grown up. he will never depart from it...
OP amibo the injury might be accidentally...

This thing you are spewing is barbaric nonsense and child abuse. What the madam did is serious and she should be punished for it.

Most of diaspora people,are find it difficult to progress in 9ja that's why they left this country.they wiLll still fail if they run this country

This is not necessarily true. What about the people whose parents send them there for university or even earlier for a better education? What about the people who rose up to be very senior at their jobs? Do not think the only people abroad are those who struggled very hard to get a visa just to run away from Nigeria. There are people excelling abroad!

Some people are so backward and foolish. Thats why Nigerians keep getting cheated. Yeah she did wrong but for such a boss who wouldnt even give them a break, how are you sure he gave them any customer service training. He could have done anything else but that. Hes a savage and she should start looking for a new job asap. Quit as soon as you find a new job. No one should have to suffer violence in their place of work.

How does the bit about praying for an hour nonstop even make sense?

Was his wife able to do that? His daughter? His mother?

Where in the bible does it say to be worthy of anything you must be able to pray for an hour nonstop?

Does his bible not say something along the lines of "thinking they will be heard for their many words"? is it really about how long you can pray for?

"I told him that will not be a good idea, going from Mowe to Victoria Island everyday will be terrible for me since we can afford a house in Lagos at least for now or we stay where he is staying currently, he maintained he cant change, we could not reach an agreement on that, the next thing i got a shocker, he traveled for event outside Lagos to the east, where he comes from, only to get attracted to a girl he met there and came boldly to tell me, if i cannot marry him and stay at mowe, there are so many good girls who will rush the offer and in annoyance i told him, have you found one please marry her."

Based on what the OP said that I've quoted above, I don't understand how some people can come to the conclusion that she's proud or arrogant. Why would anyone want to do sufferhead from Mowe to VI everyday when they can afford something closer? Isn't that madness? Pride would be if she said she couldn't leave the island where she already is at all. I personally think that this OP was probably from a wealthier background than the loser, he felt somewhat threatened and wanted to Lord it over her. Besides why would you want to get married and live in your father-in-law's house if you can avoid it?? The backward thinking of some people on this thread shocks me.

And then attacking her about what she said in response to his stupid statement that there were lots of good girls that would rush the offer as if he's doing her a favour. She's not at his mercy.

If he truly had been dating the bush girl for a long time, then she dodged a lying cheating weakling. If he hadn't, then she still dodged a bullet because he's obviously a spiteful stubborn person who would have eventually made her life hell.

He hasn't even started crying, that was just part 1. He went to carry a bush woman from the village who will probably not add much to his life, his earnings or the family pot. He will soon see and cry part 10 sef.

OP I'm glad you did what hopefully gave you closure and helped you to see that he's a loser and definitely not in a better position.

It is on Nairaland that I learnt random things like:

"who him epp"
"unlcad" looool
"lalasticlala" (abeg who is this?)
"See what so and so was caught doing"
"."

OP just try and 4get ur wallet, ATM card and money at home when next u go out with him. plz try and eat excess on dat date. den lets see what he ll do.

Lol, I should totally do that!

sunnyt1:
I wont say much about the 1st case you narated, its completely illogical and i want to think he had something up his sleeves. Its totally impossible

Im quite bothered about the idea we have about love, reading thru comments here and what iv learnt from people overtime, is giving the only fruit of love? That seem to be the picture. Someone even said a guy who loves u will spend a fortune on u, thats absolutely worrisome. Nah, a guy who wants to use and dump u or who wants to cajole u will do everytin to impress u. Isnt this the reason behind gold-digging and manipulations in relationships lately?

Peoples' past experienece has a lot to do with how they spend in their subsequent relationships.

We need to know what love and stinginess really mean

The first case is the truth.

Anyway, it is not about expecting a guy to proove his love through money, thats not what I'm about. However, if he just never happens give, thats a little odd. Even with your platonic friends, I'm sure you give from time to time however little.

MRBrownJ:
Thanks for your response. I realise that giving isn't an olbigation. However, giving can show thoughtfulness or kindness towards the person you are giving to. Generousity is a positive trait. I am not forcing or expecting him to do anything against his will.

your BF was wrong there and you should have pointed that out then.



i guess you guys aint that different.... giving isnt an obligation

We aren't that different? It's me that was always offering and when I saw that he wasnt about that life, I chilled on it. Am I Jesus?[/b]


the man was honest enough to say he doesnt like being obligated to hand gifts, but instead you want him to act in ways that he isnt down with

[b]Nobody is obligating him. To say that i shouldnt buy you something because you dont want to have to do likewise is just funny. It shows a particular state of mind in my own opinion. Especially as i wasnt giving just so i could receive in return.
[/i]
giving for no reason whatsoever, or against ones will/wishes is wrong... if you wanna give gifts then by all means do so, and dont expect anything in return

I don't expect anything in return, nor do I ask for anything from him. I make no demands or requests. It's even nicer when someone gives ou something you never expected or requested.[i]


there is nothing like expecting a man to do what YOU desire... let him be himself, and either take it or leave it

It isnt just about what I desire though. Relationships are a two-way thing, aren't they? If a man will be stingy, he shouldn't come to my house expecting me to give him any food, abeg. [i][/i]

Hahahahahaha

"Posting unclad pictures of yourself/your friend, or your sibling on social media"

Why do Nairalanders like the word "unclad"?

everything and anything, unclad.

When my boyfriend and I go out, I make sure to sometimes pay and don't leave him to pay all the time. I think I pay a lot of the time actually. He earns more than me. However, recently, we went out with some friends and when he tried to pay with his card, there was an issue with the POS machine so I had to pay for him and myself. He mentioned that he would give me the cash later for both of us. When we drove to the ATM later, he took out the complete amount (covering both our bills that I had paid). I noticed that he initially counted out the full amount but later only gave me the money he owed for just his own bill. He had told me in front of our friends that he would repay me the amount for both our bills and besides when he attempted to pay using POS at the restaurant, it was for both our bills. So I dont know why he did that.

Also, in the 9 months we've been together, he has never bought me a gift (not even on my birthday or valentines) and at Christmas, he gave me a book he'd just finished reading as my present. To be fair, I didnt give him anything for christmas but I did give him something for his birthday.

When I travelled, I asked him what he wanted and he said nothing as he didnt want to feel obliged to return the kindness. I found that odd. I wasnt trying to buy him something so he could return the favour. Nevertheless, I bought him a small gift anyway.

I spoke to him about it and told him that while I'm not expecting expensive gifts, giving in a relationship is nice. I suggested chocolates or flowers and he said he didnt know etc.

Are my expectations high (based on the brief background I've just given) or is this sounding like a stingy guy to you? I feel a bit resentful but want to be reasonable about the whole thing.

Thanks for your sensible comments/advice.

Hi there,

How are you feeling now? Any better?

It's true life can throw some things your way but suicide is not really the answer. I think you might be clinically depressed and actually in need of some good talking and if you are comfortable with it, some medication. I have felt exactly as you described before. I'm better now but believe, now that my mind is clearer, that we're just looking for someone to blame and finding no one, we blame God (I might be wrong though).

With time it does get better though, you just have to be willing to "wait" it out. Try and get out and do things...you might not feel like then now but eventually you will start to enjoy activities and meeting up with friends again.

I still don't go to church but I certainly believe in God. I think sometimes in Nigeria we are given the wrong beliefs about God.

In any case, have faith that those things that went wrong will get better and they actually will, believe me. The faith principle works whether or not you're a believer.

I hope things get better. You will come to love people and things again.

I think one needs to be smart about these things. If it is a multinational, you should usually be able to find its details online. Google is your friend. You don't need the person to give you the address before you can find it. Also, I'm surprised you interviewed without doing any research on the company? Don't you need to know what you're entering into? The grammar of the people speaking to you on the phone? It seems to me the guy played on your......naivety (to put it politely) and maybe desperation. Did you look at the type of person that was offering you the job? Receive any emails, not from a yahoo address but from an official address?

Shine ya eye well well!

Anyone can decide to start a business. All they have to do is to provide a product or service and make a profit. While registering a business as a limited company for example is not mandatory, there are several reasons why it would be beneficial for you to register your business as a limited company at the Corporate Affairs Commission. See below:

1. Setting up a business account - You need to prove that your business is properly registered to get a business bank account.
2. Reputation for your business - Customers/clients are more likely to take you seriously and to trust your brand if your business is registered.
They will have confidence in doing business with you.
3. Getting loans - Banks will ask for your registration documents to see that you are a legitimate business if you want to apply for a loan.
4. Safeguard your business name - Noone else can use the name of your business once you register it. it also helps you to create a brand.
5. If the business does not go well and you lose money or incur debts, your liability will be limited to the amount you put into the company and
you will not be personally liable beyond what you have invested in the company.
6. You can get investors to buy in more easily as the value of their investment is more easily quantified through the issue of shares.
7. Your business looks more professional than a one man band business that is unregistered.
8. You can employ staff eg youth corpers easily.

Also it is worth mentioning that Govt contracts tend to be awarded to registered companies not individuals.

I can assist you in registering a company at the Corporate Affairs Commission in Abuja. Just send me a pm.

Congrats. So sweet.

Did anyone see this line? "7. Opportune(d) - You'd HAIR someone say something like..."

We need to show ourselves as intelligent if we want to be so regarded. So far, I'm not sure the black race has.
