Romance › Re: If You’re Sure He’s The Father, Why Fear The Test? by Onegai(mod):
Because of these real-life examples:

3A man in my Mum's church decided his "side peace of mind" needed to be promoted to Main Woman. His pregnant wife became Enemy No1 and one day, in an insane rage, picked up the newborn and flung the baby across the room cry. Wife ran away with the child after that. A few years later, her SiL invited her to UK and ran the DNA test: 100% very much his son. Unfortunately that throwing had the boy experience some medical issues (he still needs help till now). Man is now sending money but refusing to see the child, because Shame and Guilt are overwhelming emotions.

In every one of those cases I know of, DNA test was weaponised by a Man trying to get rid of his Wife and Family. There was never any basis for the mistrust.

Which is what will happen for most men: I recall a poster here last year that kept creating topics asking people to look at his baby daughter to see if she was really his, because the girl was fair and he was dark. No other reason. Even if na joke, the devil is waiting by the corner to take advantage.

In the few cases that there was Paternity fraud, the men quietly checked their suspicions rather than go destroy their families first. Nedu wasn't fighting his wife, it was information from the past or medicals that made him get DNA test and find paternity fraud.

When you find yourself reasoning your mind into getting a DNA test, check well: it's because seeds of discord have been planted in your heart against your wife.

How does iron contaminate food like tomatoes and flour when your body naturally needs iron?

I don't believe that study one bit.
The type of Iron the body absorbs is a soluble Iron, it can dissolve in our bloodstream. The type of Iron in physical metal is non-soluble, cannot dissolve properly and is finished with heavy metals which end up poisoning your liver over time.

For example, because people in the US are drinking more vitamin supplements daily that they don't need (which some are metals your body produces in smaller quantities), they're also having higher organ failure.

Your body needs Magnesium but if you swallow a battery to try and get extra Magnesium, you're dead.

And I shouldn't have read this now, I ate doughnuts like mad on Friday and I'm now about to eat Indomie😔😭

I created a topic about it last year. https://www.nairaland.com/8569798/food-nigeria-higher-level-iron

During grinding, iron that is part of the metal used in fabricating the grinding machine keeps breaking into smaller pieces which contaminates the grinded food.

I don't want us to qualify this way. DR Congo won us fair and square on the pitch and that's all that matters. If we had played better and taken it seriously, there would no talk of this.

Let Congo advance. NFF and Super Eagles Coaching Squad should lose their bonuses as punishment and anyone who complains should be sacked summarily. Football in Nigeria needs serious overhaul and discipline
Family › Re: A slap and my marriage ended ... What Should I Do? by Onegai(f): 7:18am On Feb 15
TheDepressed:
1yr is too much a time.
Plus she's changed a lot....the things I refused her from doing is the exact things she's into now.
Accepting her back will be learning to know and train her again.
Step 1: ignore almost every comment on this thread

Step 2: listen to Brodalikeme's comment. He made a lot of sense

Step 3: never, ever use the words "accepting her back will be learning to know and train her again". Once you married her, you two became equal and ONE. If you think I'm lying, go and read your bible.

Step 4: get rid of all the silly thoughts in your head. She's not cheating (not yet), you definitely have slept with someone during this period (so you're guilty). Stop looking for people to tell you you're a good person and she's a terrible person, divorce her etc. All of us will leave you alone and move on after encouraging you to divorce and your wife will remarry and that 2 yr old will call another man "Daddy" and if you kidnap the kids to avoid that, she will carry police to arrest you and add wahala to your problems.

Step 5: attend the burial respectfully. If you're a good person, you'll do the right thing even if your wife or her siblings are not doing the right thing. That's what God asks us all to do: stop making excuses to misbehave because the other person misbehaved first.

Step 6: seriously, listen to Brodalikeme and bury your pride. Send him message off Nairaland. Log out now off NL before you get stupid advice and blow your very fixable marriage up. Or you'll join millions of men who did exactly what you did, blew up their marriages, dust has settled and now they're regretting, even if they remarried.


If you have sense, please screenshot everything Brodalikeme said and log out asap. Right now. Before devil wakes up the rest of NL to help you scatter your children's lives.

And despite not playing step mother duties, Davido, his family and friends love her. 😃

The only thing Chioma hasn't been able to do successfully is stop Davido's wandering manhood. Maybe she has, but if Tuface could pull a hat-trick and just when we thought he is retired, a 4th came along at 50, then nothing community husbands no fit do.
They love her because she's not opening his dirty laundry in public. He does that so well already on his own.

I don't understand his lack of self-control.

I have a feeling that Tuface and Annie crashed out mutually and both wanted out of their marriage, then both suffered for it (he hid it with new rushed marriage and she lost a ton of weight). And now, dust will be settling small small, eyes will be clearing and both beginning to regret.

GloriousGbola:
I actually prefer her straight forward attitude in this manner

My personal observation is that women are rarely if ever sympathetic to step children.

We have all seen enough of this in polygamous settings.

Better put it all out in the open rather than the usual situation where some children are being treated like third wheels or unwanted second class human beings

It will be even worse because Davido is not a hands on parent. At most he will assemble the kids in the house, do a selfie, upload to Instagram. Fathering done now go and hang with the boys.
I realized it last year:

Nigerian society isn't built on Love.

So it will be very difficult for Step-parenting to work here. And children are difficult for even their own biological parents.

Because I compared 2nd Marriage anecdotal gist in Nigeria to 2nd Marriage anecdotal gist in the USA and omo! In general, Nigerian women were not bred to love another woman's child. The best you could hope for was polite tolerance and "please stay with your Father and leave me alone when you're around, I am not your mother.

Nigerian medical people wanted to ask my classmate if and how she would love her child that she had through Surrogacy, even though it was her egg used so it was biological hers.

Nigerian women that will say "the child I adopted is misbehaving" and return that child back to the village or orphanage, from the USA.

A few were trying but I know understand why my brother said if anything happened to his wife, he would never remarry.

Even me, that I'm very good with kids because of my profession, I'm not sure I won't snap once in a while.

I realized that most of the 2nd marriages around me where the kids felt comfortable in their father's house, was because the 2nd wife was White or not Nigerian.

I don't forgive Nigerian men who remarry and see this, yet keep quiet and hope inside them that one day their kids will understand and forgive them in their old age. The men literally know their new wives cannot stand their kids but will marry them.

Both him and his supporters are unwell.
He goes everywhere with Chioma and word on the street is Chioma's mother used to live with them. That is if her visa issues hasn't been sorted out. No one has denied him access to Imade and I am very sure his father said in an interview that Imade comes for the family's Christmas retreat. He wants to carry Imade and go keep with Chioma's people and his igbo smoking friends. 😂😂😂
That's the thing:

Chioma has made it abundantly clear all these years that she's not planning on doing Stepmother duties. She's no Annie Idibia, who used to host all 2face's kids. So when Davido's daughters all come around, they go to their Grandfather's house and his sisters' houses.

I've seen it happen with other men: dating women who keep making it clear that they're not there to take care of his kids. And the man accepts it as the price to keep this person in his life. It's so shocking to me: why would you date and marry a man with children, yet say you're not going to accept his kids?

It's worrying the men supporting him simply because it's a Gender War, they would never let their daughters stay in that crowd

Well all these are normal, you will always get hurt when you are in the witness box. Expect the worst or don’t get in the box at all.

He is even lucky that the lawyer did not go as low as referring to his Dubai brawl and the death of those around him.

The lawyer just asked him of his dealings and handling of situations that got his child killed which is worth considering in custody matters. Nothing personal just factual. I as a lawyer would do same in a case like this.

Let's not get sentimental about these things please. Davido is a man-child who refuses to be accountable to his loved ones.
Thank you! People in his inner circle were dying anyhow of suspected substance abuse and you're telling me a Judge will give him custody of a 10 year old girl...so that thunder from Heaven will fire the judge straight.

I admire Davido's work ethic but his personal life is a shambles.

Wotowotoman:
You are letting emotions get in the way here. Please stop for a moment. And also stop comparing Davido’s case to those old men that were married and divorced. Put yourself in David’s shoes.

Davido does not mind spending millions on his daughter. He just doesn’t want that woman to benefit from the money. He’s older now and has realized how the lady trapped him for financial gains. We are not children. Let’s call it what it is. For every 1 million she demands from Davido, she will use 100k on the daughter and use the remaining 900k to floss and do pepper dem gang. No lie if na you be Davido or if na your son or brother, would this make you happy? 🤔
My brother, I never argue with emotion

Abeg make go court, go see something

And I have children already and I tell them "I trained you to be intelligent and logical so you won't fall into cheap easy traps laid by people who want to take advantage of you".

I've been far too many men fall into cheap, easy traps and decades of pain and suffering, in our family we go gather beat anyone who wants to leave his wife for his "peace of mind" or anyone who impregnates a woman and then starts to tell us how he "never loved her".

How much is a condom? Should you be even committing fornication like a wild dog in the first place??

You go collect brain resetting to the point that you'll run into police station and beg olopa to charge you with any crime, just to save you from us grin

If any of my kids is that daft, you go refund me your school fees money. Abi N3.1mil na joke?? Money to use to flex in Maldives😡

Everyone knows what they're doing, they just believe that the Bible which tells us precisely how the Laws of the Universe work, will change because their case is different.

Wotowotoman:
Ogbeni, don’t compare custody battles of the poor to the rich. I repeat. Davido is not going through the embarrassing and PR damaging process of fighting for custody to punish the woman. It is about the money!!
None of these people I mentioned were poor grin

One's dad used to have his own page on Wikipedia sef, another one real Gs of Lagos know him (old Lagos money).

The thing is, in one of the cases, once the wife started begging the man, his behavior calmed down a bit. Even his family got involved to beg him (everyone knew he was wrong but there was a lot of grace and forgiveness given to him because we knew he wasn't a bad person, just someone who was deeply hurt his marriage had packed up and was listening to bad advice from outsiders).

Men and women are emotional, men are told to hide their emotions so it comes out in an unpleasant manner (plus their natural tendency for destruction).

When I saw Sophia's brief and the money ahe was asking for, I baulked. But if you look at the Adeleke family, if Imade was living with Davido, that money would be normal for her (just check Nicos and the rest of them lifestyle)

Magistrates award child support according to the lifestyle the child would have if the parents were together. They're not going to see a billionaire with a private jet and tell him to pay N100,000 monthly for CS when they know that's just his drinking water bill.

And most men refuse the legal judgement in Nigeria, most women move on and then in 20 years time, people are carrying an elderly man and chanting "forgive and forget" (which is biblically wrong).

My offer to go to Magistrate court still stands for you o cool
Celebrities › Re: Davido Discontinues Legal Action Over Custody Of Daughter Imade by Onegai(f): 9:09am On Feb 14
Wotowotoman:
Ogbeni, you have no idea why men and women fight for custody. It has nothing to do with punishment. Women fight for custody because it means they will get full child support payments coming in until the child is 18. While men fight for custody to reduce the money they give to greedy women that use the kid to cash out.

Nothing to do with access to kids or ego stroking. It’s all about making sure the woman doesn’t achieve her gold digging dreams that she carefully planned when she (a much older adult) trapped the boy with that pregnancy.
Oga, if you knew me, you'd delete this. Me wey don help fight for custody?

Which golddigger? Maybe Sophie Momodu and Davido case is different.

I know man who accused his estranged wife that she was going to steal using the kids. The wife said nothing, paid what she could, will submit bills and ask him to pay directly to the school or hospital, he was mistrustful. He didn't pay schoolfees but one woman moved in with him, he paid all her bills no matter the lie she told him or her bad behaviour. Even his father was ashamed

Or my uncle who denied his flesh and blood for 2 years whilst bankrolling one Igbo girl? He now complains he and his child don't have a good relationship, 24 years later.

Another, her baby daddy got married and he stopped paying schoolfees. She said nothing. He came back after 5 years when his wife never conceived and started paying again uptil university

There's this lady on X, Olivia, her baby daddy left her and his newborn to stay in unpainted uncompleted building (she posted the pix, they were using wrapper as curtain), whilst his family owned hotels all over the SE and Port Harcourt. He showed up 11 years later, looking for "his daughter", with iPad and gifts because his new wife never conceived

Go to Magistrate Court in Lagos, you'll be ashamed of your gender. Running around Lekki carrying babes and buying iPhones for women who will leave once they fall sick or get old, but screaming abuse if the mother of their kids begs them to settle hospital bills. Then the same men will start looking for their kids in old age

I have sworn it that if any of my sons act that way, I will use my hands to serve them justice

Kobicove:
I don't even understand why he's suing for joint custody rights when he already has unrestricted access to the child
Because it was never about the child, Sophia must have angered him again recently. Sophia stated very clearly in her documents that when Davido has sexual access to her, he's always on good behaviour but once she stopped it (because she felt guilty over Chioma), he became nasty again.

Men are quite emotional, it was shocking to realize it.

Men aren't polygamous, they're just badly behaved. They throw a tantrum, break the relationship and then realise that they wanted it in the first place, rather than admit and humbly beg, you start to see foolish behaviour
Celebrities › Re: Davido Discontinues Legal Action Over Custody Of Daughter Imade by Onegai(f):
If you know men, and I'm not saying this to bash men, I'm saying this because I've seen it a lot...

They only fight for custody when they want to punish their ex and have a way to control her. Men don't process breakups well.

And it is not a Nigerian phenomen, even abroad. Abroad, a lot of women in divorce court once they hand their child over for custody and the man realizes that she won't be allowing him use the kids to fight her, they get tired and start looking for another way to control and hurt her.

Davido wanted to punish Sophia. Which is why this nonsense came up

I'm 99% positive that the reason Davido's family was quiet was because they had access to Imade anytime and Davido's case had no leg to stand on. I know a Nigerian man in this situation and it's only gullible people who don't know his wife believe him when he says she's kept the kids away: his family literally chat up with the wife on social media, his friend was getting updates. He only fights for custody when he's feeling hurt or needs his ego stroked. We're tired of him.

His idiotic prideful bluster that he was dealing with the lawyer in court but decided to drop the case is just typical male ego face saving foolishness. I don't understand why men do it and I have sons, so I'm scared one day they'll be foolish like this.
Education › Re: 10 Best Secondary Schools In Lagos (2025/2026) by Onegai(f):
Kaczynski:
In a regular school, a bully wants your lunch money. in an school like grange, madow hall or LBI, the bullies are the children of the powerful. they have been told since birth that they are demi gods and that everyone else is service staff. they don't just hit, they destroy. they don't want your money, they already have more than you,they just want your submission. most especially the school doesn't stop the bullying because the fundraisers of so the school are literally the parents of the bullies, in one of PTA i attended in place for my niece at green springs, one of the parents of the bully slapped another parent of the bullied simply because they were insisting that their kid was a bully.

a child in these environments is like a lamb that wandered into a wolf sanctuary. the wolves aren't going to befriend the lamb, they are going to test their teeth on it. if your sister sends her child there, she isn't being a good parent, she is being an accomplice to her child trauma. she is feeding her child to the offspring of the nouveau riche so she can brag to her friends about the school logo on her child's blazer.

If he is like clifford from my bodyguard 1980 , he will be eaten alive in any school where who is your father?' is the primary question. tell her to save the millions of naira, put him in a school like deeper life or loyola where he can actually breathe or she can send him there and watch him get deleted in real time.
Thanks for this.

Omo, I cannot believe Greensprings let that happen!

I've seen a similar issue with some primary schools in Lekki: everyone was paying the same school fees but some were favorites because they were friends with the Proprietor.

Human Nature always finds a way to corrupt everything.

Loyola and several top schools allegedly had a substance abuse issue with some kids because Nigeria is awash with substance abuse. And it has become a school for rich kids in Abuja, so they may start seeing those issues too. There isn't a cheap Catholic school anywhere in Nigeria, fees are at least N1mil per annum now.

My sister wasn't picking those schools for names tbh (nobody cares about that because it's dumb, after all Abacha, Ojukwu, Igbinedion and Abiola were once names that commanded clout, but where are they now huh), we were looking at the best way to get the child prepared for school abroad. Greensprings mentioned their alumni doing well abroad and has a reputation for being a good STEM school.

I've never heard of Deeper Life college.

What you're saying has merit, but at the same time there's some challenges to being the kids above the rest of the students' social standing.

I learned it the hard way myself and with my kids (the Primary school my kids go to, I could have sworn we were all of the same financial standing as it's the most expensive school around, but the kids picked up on the fact that my kids have foreign accents and seem to have a different lifestyle than theirs and it's been 2-3 years of unfriendliness. It didn't help that they're academically on top as well).

Both sides have heavily used Mercenaries extensively in this war, Ukraine heavily recruits South Americans and even Africans, the quality of training is uneven, most foreigners are sent to combat battalions, Ukrainian battalions are so in name only given their evisceration. This entire conflict has been a meat factory.

Ukraine is trying to disrupt personnel pipeline from Africa to the special military operation, that's quite understandable.

It is the moral tone that I find questionable.
Ukraine isn't conscripting the foreigners, they're telling soldiers who want to fight to come and sign up. Even some Americans went there at the beginning. They have money to pay mercenaries because the West is funding them).

Russia (which doesn't have as much funds as possible) is straight up lying to these guys. One of the Nigerian victims was told it was a job in Dubai, UAE. Then Russians took him once he got there. Similar stories abound: they know most people are no longer gullible to fall for a "job in Russia" story, so now they're using Arabs and African agents to sell "a job in UAE or the Middle East".

I'm surprised Pakistanis, Senegalese or Nigeriens haven't been recruited but I doubt Europe wants the additional wahala of training Muslims or Hindis from unstable countries. Or maybe we're not just hearing about their own scams and casualties.

Family › Re: Divorced (or Separated) Couples, Can You Please, Share Your Experience? by Onegai(f):
Joeadamxx thank you for your contribution.

Letskeeptalking, you should read his advice a lot.

Most separated and divorced people won't want to be truly open, even on a faceless forum.

There are 4 big R's in Life:

1. Resentment: this is what you feel right now. You're boiling with it. The one thing you've mentioned that's really bad is "he's manipulative and acts like a Saint outside" and "he tried to manipulate me into a 3sum".

Those are big red flags and sadly very common for men going through a Midlife crisis.

Your statements "he's a narcissist" and "he refuses to grow"... I'm going to say something shocking: neither are probably true. Why? I've heard those lines a lot and till now that person cannot define exactly what they meant about their spouse. Just pure resentment or midlife crisis or crazy emotions. There are so many "narcissists that refuse to grow" nowadays that the only people qualified to diagnose those traits, serious Psychiatrists and Psychologists, should insist couples wean themselves off Social media (which is badly influencing everything) before they work with you.

2. Regret: "mannn I screwed up. I made bad mistakes, poor choices and here are the consequences of my actions. I'll probably never be forgiven and I cannot trust that forgiveness when it comes. No-one will ever know I regret this".
The Prodigal Son didn't end up in a ditch until years later. Regret is a slow growing tree.

Remorse: "I really hurt this person". Remorse is good, but it won't lead to lasting change. Your husband showed you remorse and that's why you came back, before.

Repentance: "Heavenly Father, I have sinned against You. I cannot forgive myself and neither will my spouse. Please give me Your grace. I will not hurt this spouse again because to hurt them is to hurt You". This is where Change starts.

Love is what motivates us to change.

Love is a choice. Choose to love God. Seriously. Choose to love a husband or choose to walk away, that's your choice.

Whatever you do, give him to God in repentance daily. Give yourself to God in repentance daily.

And watch the miracle happen. I don't know what will happen or what it will look like, but it will be good.

(Yes, I believe Feminism should exist because Patriarchy exists and both are 2 sides of a broken tarnished coin, neither belongs in the kingdom of Heaven).

I think FAAN and cargo clearing agents have come to an agreement. Because I read an article yesterday that said cargo bay was getting full.
To be honest, FAAN didn't try: they have kept clearing rates at N7 for almost 2 decades and then decided to change it to N25 rapidly. They should have changed it to N10 and gradually by end of the year hit N25, giving operators enough time to inform their clients that delivery fees will go up.

A couple of things I do right now as a dad. It is really painful when the value of a man and a spouse dont align on life goals. Very frustrating. I am beginning to see her in another light.
I will tell you one personal painful story and depending on how things go, tell you another personal painful story.

Story 1:

My neighbour had 2 kids and was perfectly happy, financially doing well (he worked with a foreign company, his wife worked for another foreign company). Everything was smooth and then his wife started mentioning Baby no.3. Man had already made plans for his future so he shut down the wife's plans.

But somehow, she got pregnant. And their marriage nearly packed up. He was so filled with anger and resentment at her, daily fighting for months. My mum used to settle quarrel daily.

Anyway, Wife gave birth and this man stayed but kept misbehaving in his marriage. Eventually he calmed down and returned back to his senses.

Years later, everything was going even better for him.

One day, we were outside together. The man's first son was playing in a field on the other street. He slumped and died. No warning.

Even me, I couldn't even cry. All of us were thrown into grief. No parent wants to bury a child, especially a 15 year old boy.

Now, this man is older, money still dey come. He told my mum 2 years ago that he would give every kobo in his bank accounts and every house he owns, to bring his son back to Life. And when my child was sick and recovered, he told me that he's always grateful his wife had that 3rd baby and encouraged me.

Because my sick child was also a child no-one planned for.

In his own words: "I would have been a father of just 1 child by now".

RepoMan007:
After 66 years of independence they are announcing it with so much glee.
20 years ago LAWMA staff advised their bosses to implement this and they ignored it. Full plan, they even gor suppliers locally that would make the bins possible, was even plan for how Event Centresb and low income areas would work, even suggested the areas to start first. There are already waste sorting facilities in Lagos built by French companies.

The Ogas all ignored it and treated us like we were kids to be indulged and ignored with our "oyinbo ideas".

Now they're clapping for themselves.
Education › Re: Lagos OEQA Presents Approval Letters To 76 Private Schools by Onegai(f): 9:13am On Feb 06
We actually need to close down Private schools and I'm happy to explain why:

We have too many and most of them should not exist as they don't have the right facilities or right motives for existing.

All schools are for profit and a lot of proprietors are putting profits over quality. Even in schools where they're paying N300,000/term for primary school.

What we should do as a nation is to upgrade govt schools to the level of a CIS or BIS or Meadow Hall, fully equipped with well-apid and trained teachers. Then subsidise education.

Defund private education and leave it to handle special cases only or tutoring academies.

Because education should not be a private enterprise, it leads to bad outcomes for society. The wealthy can afford top education and the poor can't.

Every single advanced country made it via making education the same standard for all.

He was a power broker, a necessary job if you want to enter influential circles or meet important people.

His privates actions was what he used to keep jaded rich people entertained.
