Family / Re: Surviving Without Sex As A Single Mum... It's So Difficult by Onegai(f): 9:40am On Sep 17 |
Kpboy1: I don't know about sex workers. What I do know is that Nordish countries (Finland, Greenland, Iceland) tend to have very close equality laws and society. So most people pays bills 50:50 in marriage, men do a lot of chores in marriage and divorce isn't a stigma over there. Relationships aren't started to help someone financially. 1 Like |
Travel / Re: Germany Begins Expanded Border Controls To Control Migration. by Onegai(f): 9:17am On Sep 17 |
Germany isn't playing. Last year, they had Border Patrol on planes to check and ensure that passengers on Luftansa have their passports, before being allowed to enter the airport, after your flight. The whole world has slowly been moving away from mass migration for the last 6 years (I remember noticing it back then in the USA and predicting it would spread globally). Nobody wants mass migration, not Asia, not Europe, not Oceania, not the Americas. Africa is messed up because we're still acting like all is well. Only a few countries have seen the writing on the wall and are preparing their countries for this. Nigeria is definitely acting like all is hunky dory. If you're planning on emigrating, this year is the best time to leave. Next year, it will get worse globally. Even if the Dems win in the USA, they'll still slow down migration. |

MsJackson: Mute his WhatsApp status on your daughter's phone. Never keep your eyes on whatever he's doing, how much he's spending, whom he's loving up. The most important 2 things to do: 1. Speak with your lawyer. You need to be prepared. 2. Go for therapy and counselling. You need to improve yourself, work on your flaws and mistakes. It takes 2 to break a marriage up, so accept that which was your fault and correct it. Put yourself in the best possible position for Life to be good to you. You're in the 2nd half of your journey of your Life, do better. Avoid any physical place you will ever see him or his family, for now. Avoid it. Find new places to worship and hang out. Forgive him and his family. Not because they're good, but for your own sake. Bitterness can kill your spirit, so release any sorrow via forgiveness. It will take time, but you must do so. If you ever see any of them outside and they speak to you, calmly offer an apology any shortcomings you may have had and tell them you'll always be cordial. That entire apology should be one very short sentence, no begging, no grovelling, not a single word of reconciliation. And you are to make it to only one person, so thar they can go and share it amongst themselves. You're forgiving them and apologising for your shortcomings because you need to be light and free so that God's blessings can come inside you. God's blessings can't come inside a dark, heavy heart. Now, move on. Your success story is ahead but you need to not look back, so you can claim it. One last thing: go and get a tambourine. Keep it. Because as you heal, get better and grow into your new life and hopefully there's Love in your future (that's why you're doing that therapy, some negro out there has worked on his flaws and is praying for his Sarah), you'll shake that tambourine in praise to the Most High Lord. All the best. 2 Likes |

I swear, Humanity is such a foolish race than God must shake His head in disbelief at our foolishness. The way we needlessly destroy our lives is amazing. We spend our old age full of regrets because Time has shown us our foolishness. Which is why I would never allow my sons to ever complain about their wives to me. If it is not proven Domestic Violence, I don't wanna hear shi.t. Go and tell her mother. Your wife can come and complain about you to me, too. Because the worst thing a parent can do is validate or influence their son to hurt their grandchildren. There's no amount of prayer and forgiveness that will stop God's wrath on falling on you when you do so. You must face the consequences. That's why Prosperity Gospel is so annoying, we need to be preaching the Old Testament so you'll see how God kept dealing with people who mess up. You reap what you sow. God is a God of Righteousness and Justice, nobody gets away with anything no matter how it looks from the outside. I've got far too many male relatives spending their 60s/70s in regret to allow myself come between my son and his wife. Even the ones that remarried will tell you that if they had emotional maturity, they'd never have divorced. There's a reason God hates divorce in the Bible, go and read up Malachi 2: 13-17. There's a reason God literally told men "I hate divorce, don't leave the wife of your youth". How incredible it is that our Heavenly Father addressed His remarks on Divorce TO MEN! Even Jesus said "your hearts are hardened but whomever divorces his wife and remarries commits Adultery", HE WAS TALKING TO MEN!! Wives are supposed to keep their homes, but Husbands are supposed to keep their marriages. Because you can't be the Dangote in your marriage and expect the Chinese engineers to secure the NNPC deal or let the Nigerian staff find crude oil to refine, that's your job, you're the Head of the House, the buck stops on your table. Everyone's (your wife and kids) job is to follow your leadership, Dangote. Nigerian men are so effed up because they keep breaking this covenant with God and thinking it will work out well, ogbeni... IT NEVER DOES! YOU'LL BE 65 WITH SILENT REGRETS, TRUST ME!! They need to take the mic from these banger boys podcasters, red pillers and Pastors and give it to 70 year old men. Because when you're done seeing their lives, you'll be terrified as a man and delete all your side chics and spend your days researching how to love your wife and bring the spark back into your marriage. Do you know what it is to be 70 and making yourself uncomfortable following your wife to omugwo, because you know you messed up all your marriage and are scared she'll leave? Do you know what it is to have adult kids who don't talk to you, your wife has spent years of resentment and is now living her life separately so you're always indoors or walking alone on the street, lonely? Do you know how common and silent male depression is? Do you know how many men have died on top of their side chics, their last moments in fright, not surrounded by love and grief from people who care, because the side chics always panic and protect themselves, they'll be screaming upandan inside of cradling your head, showing you love and sorrow as you leave this life. Why are your Pastors not preaching this?? /rant over 3 Likes 1 Share |

OP Right now, you need to get a pretty good job. Ensure your accommodation is very good too (if you need to move in with your parents, stay there). If you have your family's support, do so. Accept any amount he sends for upkeep without a murmur, document all your conversation with him (no calls, just texts or emails). Make sure you never badmouth him to his kid. The few, infrequent times he will attempt to play at Daddy and visit his kid, ensure you allow her meet her father without complaints to him. Show him a calm demeanor and a beautiful exterior. Document every visit. You have 2 years from Separation to Divorce. That's the Law. You can't file until then, neither can he. Go to a lawyer for more information. Most courts will NOT award custody of a girl child to a single father, they will favour the mother. Unless he remarries and then you have to prove that your home is a safe place and you're more than capable of caring for your child. Get a cheap phone, give him the no and politely tell them that should he ever wish to speak to his daughter, he can either call you or use that line. (He won't call it more than once). Take your eyes completely off him. Your mind will be harder. Try and go for counselling, to heal and to reflect upon your own mistakes. So you don't repeat them again. I wish you the best. Now, let me face that oloriburuku you married. He's an as.shole, he and his family knew what they were doing. They are willing to destroy your marriage because he never valued you and they want to protect their se.xually abusive niece. That girl he's dating, oh boy she's in trouble. Her chi isn't working, if it was she would never have fallen inside calamity. He's not going to marry her, she's the first of numerous girlfriends. If he marries her, then she doesn't have a praying mother. You will see him looking happier than you've ever see him flaunting his new gf/wife, his family full of praise for her, loving her like they never loved you. Cry into your pillow, show a stoic face, dress well, smell delicious and give them no quarter. Go out and date. In about 3-5 years' time, that rat bas.tard will start sniffing around you again under the pretext of checking on his child. YOU MUST NEVER TAKE HIM BACK. If you do, Amadioha will laugh and know he can destroy you. You serve a Living God, He removed them from your life neatly. They'll notice that the stability you gave him in his life is not there (married or not). Even if he looks happy, he's not really happy. So he's acting for the world to see, so that nobody says "I told you so". Second marriages tend to be worse because the useless party involved in the first marriage rarely ever learns from their mistakes, so they repeat it. Only that the "Peerless Queen" 2nd wife is usually ready to deal shege with him and his family. So trust me, his family will grumble that "this one is not even as tolerant as the one we pursued out". He'll repent and regret in leisure. No, he'll never admit it (his ego is too big). He will want you back (no, he still won't have learnt his lessons). Which is why he will suddenly become a "Good Father", checking on his kid frequently. No dear, he's keeping tabs on you and also trying to audition for you, that he's a great guy and your issues before were just "silly little misunderstandings". You will probably never get an apology. Don't wait for one. He will definitely express regret, but never to you. Only a very brave and strong man will look you in the eye and admit his fukup. Which is why you should move on with a vengeance. The best revenge is a Life well lived. I'm saying all of this because this sort of story is as common as pure water. And it always plays out like this, rarely does it deviate. The only deviation is that sometimes, the wife take the husband back. The Bible is the book of Life because if you read the Old Testament, you'll see humanity's innate desire to constantly self-destruct from time to time (think the Israelites or the prodigal son). We can't help it, we can only ask God to give us the strength to overcome the need to use our own hands to destroy our lives. I've self-destructed, everyone has (made mistakes that derailed us for such a long time, we hold regrets forever). You have self-destructed, now this is your ex-husband's time to self-destruct. But you shouldn't. Because he was willing to side with his family against his own child. I wish you the best. 4 Likes |

Family / Re: How Can I Be Emotionally Detached From My Wife, I Need Help by Onegai(f): 9:50pm On Sep 13 |
LVStone: You talked about her having a very strong body odour that just developed. And she's withdrawn. She's moody. Lightning-fast emotional changes. Easily irritable. Quick question: what state are you? And how old is she? Because if you're in Lagos, here's what you should please do for me: You're going to take her to General Hospital, Odan Lagos Island. You'll ask to be referred to the Psychology Dept for counselling. Based on what they see, they may refer you to other depts. Because what you're describing about this lady sounds medical. Now, I'm no Dr but I am surrounded by a lot of them and I hear things. Which is why I'm asking you to ignore every single post on this thread, save for mine. (Almost all of them are so bad every poster should be taken outside to the back of Mushin and shot). I think she has a medical condition. Don't tell her you're going to Psychology, tell her you want to take her to General Practise (because of the odour, that you read something alarming and you're afraid she's very sick). Both of you need counselling. Indivual and Marital counselling. GH can offer individual, get it done. Marital can come from a sensible church, like HOTR, Daystar etc. Take things slow. Tell her you love her and she's your responsibility, so you need her to be her beautiful pinchomous self again. But insist on this, because your needs are not being met. And I suspect that she switched off emotionally from you and that you also had something to do with this. Don't cheat and don't divorce (grey or otherwise). You can try and fix this. HTH. |

Truth is, Nigeria is a poor country and you can't expect Poverty-Capital of the world to produce morally acceptable social mores. So Marriage here is like War and Survival. Not Love. Then you guys get to country that isn't in Survival mode and your spouse can actually afford a living. And you're not ready mentally for the mindset shift you need to go from War to Peace. It's the same way someone brought up in Mushin will always be hungrier than someone brought up in Park view Estate. You can't blame them, Mushin was rough but now they have to adjust to Ikoyi. And yes, some women do abuse the system abroad and make frivolous reports. Stop fighting yourselves. You're now equals. Start thinking less like Lord-And-Servant and more like CEO-And-CFO. Both of you integral to each other's success. And for those thinking marrying from another race is the solution, hoooo boyyyy! Listen, Oyinbo people think they're God's gift to humanity. They read the Bible and believe that the chosen Israelites are Caucasian (hey, they're at the top of food chain racially). Which means, no matter how much they love you, they will always look down on you. And the day you forget yourself and presume to think you're on the same level as Tiffany, your pretty oyinbo wife, is the day she will remind you that you're a black monkey in her subconscious. She will love your little biracial babies yet remove them from you, lest they be tainted by your negritude. Just go and ask your brothers married to them why they're they submissive spouse and are shooting videos all over TikTok, "My oyinbo wife tries Egusi soup for the first time!" Think I'm lying? Go ask on Twitter what happened between Paul Graham and Nigerians. Man complained about using verbose language that sounds like AI, we challenged him and the superiority that flowed out of him, mehnnnn. Every race has their wahala. But you're Black, which means that nobody respects you in the general scheme of things, save for another Black person. And then you now add in country and Ethnicity and you then see how disdainful other African countries are of you (they're only marrying you in the US/UK because Finance, Finance, Finance. Nigerians are usually the richest Africans subgroup in the diaspora). Manage your expectations, Love your husband, love your wife. You're her CEO, she's your CFO. You both need to be on point to succeed. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Gerrard59: Rich men cheating is really about buying a product. The poorer the society, the less morals its people can afford. Which is what infidelity is in Nigeria: poverty-alleviation program. It's only daft immature guys who believe their Affair Partner loves them seriously. Which is why I'm always irritated when I see Yul Edochie and Rude Boy (P-Square). I've spoken to my male relatives their age and older and they're all in unison: "God forbid I impregnate any girl or start raising any baby at age 40+, when I should be getting ready to finally enjoy my money". Especially that Yul Edochie. Man is going to one corner of his neighbourhood to weep silently. You always know when they're full of regret but their ego won't let them go back (so that they don't become laughing-stock): that's when the public show of love with the new babe will be plenty. Serious flaunting. just know the tears cried into their pillows are hot. The babe herself will be doing extra to cover up the growing feeling that she messed up but is now stuck with an older man and if the ex-wife doesn't give a shi.t anymore, then she has nothing to motivate her and feed her own ego. You think I'm lying? Look at Bianca Ojukwu or any other woman in that setting. They know that not only are they wasting their prime with an older man, but the minute he croaks, his older kids are coming for even her pots and cutlery that he bought her. Wounded cubs turn into vicious adult lions. Go to countries like Russia and Eastern European countries, those babes are not marrying for love, they're hardened. Same with Asians. Iceland and Greenland have the lowest infidelity rates, because they're countries where opportunities for men and women are somewhat equal. So as your man dey step out, you too are following suit. PS: thanks for the kind words. 9 Likes 4 Shares |

Optimistic4life: Hun Check out adult stores in your location. Also, go and date. Date, not for remarriage, but for physical pleasure. Meet a man you like, make sure he's safe and discreet and take care of business. Have a guy for chatting and gisting, several guys even. Keep one for business. Keep serious dating on the back burner for now. Keep them all from your kids. That's what men do in your situation and that is what you should do, too. Move on, m'dear. And here is the truly beautiful thing (forget, I've seen this happen too many times, I can bet crypto on it sef): Once you're dating and moving on with your life, that your ex is suddenly going to want to come back, stylishly. Why? Because you're peaceful, relaxed and busy. You're not fighting him anymore, you're not bitter, you're not keeping the kids from him. You don't care if he's trying to annoy you or flaunt his new gf in your presence, he is no longer important. His Limerence and his Mid Life crisis is eventually slowing down. The brain fog in his head is clearing. You're looking good, smelling nice and he can see you through the eyes of other men, you look fu.ckable again. You're comfortable yet excitingly new. But please, don't take him back. Don't ever let him come back. If he was dumb enough to leave you, be smart enough to let him go. And if you think that I'm making this up, that nobody wants a single mum of 3: Nne, go and baff up, do makeup, wear one lovely dress that announces your singleness (you know what I'm taking about, you need heels too) and snap a good pic and upload it to Facebook. You're about to realise how many of your male uni and secondary school classmates always hoped for a chance with you. And they are usually an upgrade to your ex-man. The same thing happens with men who were dumped by babes. They stop grieving and start taking care of themselves and suddenly their exes want to come back. And one last thing: don't feel old. Mature, rich guys (especially those in Abuja and Lagos) don't like small girls of 24 yrs, they're too young for them. All the big boys, bank MDs, Governonrs, Ministers and Oil big boys are carrying 35 years and older. Why? Because you're discreet (you have kids, so you're not fighting their wives and aren't planning on trapping them with babies), you're secure in your skin and you're eager for se.x (no need to pretend like you no like am or act like a virgin). Those 20 yr old babes are busy doing Snapchat with him, you, OTOH, have been trained via marriage: you know you will ask him if he has taking his BP meds and listen to him complain about his son's marriage and admire his grandkids. You'll even Like his wife's inspirational posts on IG and be respectful to her. You are not planning on destroying his life, so they are very safe with you. Na now your market go sell. I have classmates that are 43, living in a nice flat in Chelsea (UK), being sponsored by people you read about in newspapers. The 25 yr old babes flaunting on IG are for immature Mid Life Crisis guys in their early 40s (who just started collecting N2m/month from an IOC), that want to feel young, all the girls can get is N400k and "thanks" from the serious big men. Start dressing up and spending 2 hours every weekend on the island, in strategic bars. Something go click. I am speaking from experience. Trust me! 7 Likes 1 Share |
