gbemishile: A Nigerian lady on Twitter, CrystabelKelsey narrates how she almost gave her life to Christ on her way to see a man. CrystabelKelsey had ordered a Taxify to go see her man, unfortunately for her, the driver was very spiritual and played Igbo worship songs that broke her to tears. She was worshiping God, crying and sniffing, and couldn’t continue her trip to see her man. The Taxify driver took her back home at her request. She alighted, went inside her room, and kept praying. After she was satisfied with her soul, and the way she prayed ceaselessly, she stood up. Without wanting anything to distract her movement, she got dressed again and still ordered another ride to see her man the same day. What Do You Think About This? Drop your comments

Ctorch: Man shares photo of his bride price list that includes 10k for father-in-law cigarette, sparks reactions.
The list which was divided into two sections had the sum of N10,000 earmarked for father-in-law cigarette.
The bride price list, from the image he posted, was divided into two parts. One had items for the father-in-law and the second for the mother-in-law.
Some interesting items and their price tags as seen on both sections included N10,000 for father-in-law cigarette, a table for counting money at N15,000, a knife at N20,000, opening of the house at N50,000. All totalled over a million naira.
Taking to Twitter, the Abuja based logo and graphics designer with the handle @ekibyleo shared a photo of the list as he lamented saying:
A 100K monthly salary earner in Nigeria is better than a 400K monthly salary earner in the United States.
The luxury lifestyles some of us live here with 100K, cannot sustain us a day over there. We can’t try such in US and save a dim.
Some of our annual rent here is weekly/ monthly rent over there. Can you pay over 100K naira monthly house rent with 400K monthly salary here in Nigeria? You can’t do that, but you don’t have a choice over there. You pay or kicked out of the house.
Some of our people over there are becoming wiser now. They don’t mind sleeping on the streets, work for at least 5-10yrs, move back to Nigeria with their savings. You cannot survive with 100M living comfortably a year over there. Tax go finish you up. But you can live large with 100M for 5yrs or more here in Nigeria depends on your lifestyles tho.
You don’t pay unnecessary tax here. But in foreign countries you pay almost everything. In naija you can own 10 cars..not in the United States because you pay for packing space for each car. You get the point now?
Some of our people in diaspora, once they earn $10K in a month or so, depends on the job, they’d send $9K down to their Nigeria account and keep $1K for their upkeep. Some would buy lands and build houses for rent or some other businesses. If you don’t do that, you’d work all your life and come back with nothing. Those of you on this method are wise. But becareful of the people you send your money to here. Trust no one! Get a trustworthy lawyer involved.
U can make unnecessary noise or play loud music here. You can’t try such over there and not find yourself in police cell.
So you see….We are privileged here. We only need to get bad political leaders off the way. By getting involved in politics, national, state, LGA and community affairs. That’s how American youth you admire, do.
They don’t just fold hands, wailing and waiting for a miracle. They debate, disagree, challenge, involved and create. You get the point now?
Luxury lifestyle on N100k a month? Even as a single man, methinks NOT.

You've obviously not heard about Nigerian English before ehn? Even Google sef haf recognised it.
OfficialR: I was looking for different story books for my children then I found this (not my picture) I don't know what to say but I wonder... Is this even right?
What's the title of this book? Is it one of those books trying to use stories to enlighten children how to spot the ways of child abusers? Are you delibrately taking it out of context?
The man was part of the exercise too,so what's the childish jabs for??
He clearly stood in the shade. So technically he wasn't part of the exercise.
It is very important that public officials are constantly held up to intense scrutiny so that they are kept on their feet. No master/slave relationship. This is what happens in saner climates and they still perform. Nothing like "he or she is trying" when someone is barely doing what they have been paid to do or "at least he/she is doing better than the predecessor". Anyone that cannot stand the public scrutiny should not take the job.
When ever a girl does that she simply want to see your reaction and gets you jealous to know if you really love her She's just srewing with your mind..
The guy she will really fall for and later bang will not be brought to your notice..
There is no hard and fast rule. A woman will bang whoever she chooses to bang if the circumstances are right, irrespective of how they met. You are best advised to just keep an open mind.
IlufoyeOlamife: Mr Man, as long as you are not yet married to her I don't see any wrong in she telling you about guys crushing in her.....infact if you are a lady in a serious relationship and nobody is asking you out, something is wrong with you.... single ladies most have at least a new toaster every week, then an average lady should have two, den a beautiful lady will get one everyday... For your girlfrnd to tell you about guys crushing on her or even asking her out is not a bad idea, what if she no tell you.... Even some married woman still dey get toasters, the only thing is that they don't exchange numbers...so my guy stay calm, your babe na ur babe, after she no like you u can't force her to stay
damiloladuke: A lady has taken to social media to narrate how she found out that her mother was her sister.
In her narration in a video which has since gone viral, the lady spoke on how her 'sister' was sexually assaulted by their father when she was just 10 years old.
According to her, when her elder sister turned 18, she left the house and after some years apart, her sister was able to locate her on social media.
She got in touch and they linked up, that was when the sister told her that when she was very little their dad took advantage of her, she became pregnant and gave birth to the lady who they all refer to as her sister.
After knowing the truth about her real mother, she then confronted her parents and they said it was kept a secret in order not to embarrass the family because they have some traditional values which needed to be upheld.
However, she then asked for permission to go stay with her older sister, when she was allowed, she and her sister then did DNA test and it was confirmed that she was the mum.
On getting the confirmation, they reported the case to the police and her their dad was arrested and jailed.
Once dated this girl who had a baby when she was 16. At that point the boy believed that she was his elder sister and his grandmother was his mum. I don't know if he eventually found out. At what age do they decide to tell him? Imagine finding out that type of shite? All of a sudden you have to adjust to the fact that your sister is your mum and the woman who you thought was your mum is your grandmother?
Because you guys are only dating her actions are of lesser consequence.
Let's look at this carefully. If 2 people are in an exclusive relationship then there's no need for any of them exchanging contacts with members of the opposite sex unless it's important work contacts, business contacts or study/school related. In that case if such contacts are important work, business or study/school related, then there is actually no need to inform your partner. Such contacts should be in the same category as uber driver, tailor, make-up artist, mechanic, dj etc because they are people who perform or can perform a functional role for you. If a person in a relationship meets a random member of the opposite sex at the bank and they ended up talking general platonic gist, then its just having an interesting conversation with a random person in the bank. If names and numbers are exchanged, then it has entered another level. There must be some sort if interest for that to happen. Going home to tell you partner doesn't make you faithful. NOT exchanging contacts in the first place is what makes you faithful. I know some people are weak and can be pressured into exchanging contacts. Some people are also just too nice. Also some people just don't know how to say NO and mean it or don't know how to end things. Others just don't know how to keep boundaries. Some just don't have common sense. These are all warning signs that one has to take into consideration if planning to take the relationship to the next level.
On the other hand some girls are of the opinion that, so long as you have not put a ring on their finger, they are free to leave options open with other guys who might end up being more serious about marrying them.
Bottom line is, so long as you guys are just dating and you are not really serious about her, then you may carry on till one or both of you are tired, and then move on. Its not the end of the world, just part of the learning curve.
...also I think men in the UK should start keeping money aside (vex money) just in case. Just in case because things could change very dramatically. Life in the UK messes with black women's heads big and oyinbo people will gladly (and maliciously) help to destroy a black man's family for their own self satisfaction. Vex money is necessary now more than ever so that you can make certain moves (rent room/flat, relocate back to Nigeria etc) without turning to charity case. Also, unless you are very wealthy, there is actually no point bankrupting yourself to fight a woman who has taken an unreasonable stand. I know it's one of the most emotionally charged difficult things ever, but one has to tear themselves away from any emotions and do the most sensible thing. Forget the kids for now because your hand has been cruelly forced by circumstances.
ASUNDER: My friend is currently going through a divorce in the UK and having a hell of a time. His wife mounted as many allegations on him as possible during separation - domestic violence, marital rape, child abuse, drugs and alcohol use, adultery, forgery just to name a few. He had to leave the house. He has moved to a room in a shared house and now even struggling to pay the rent. He does not see his kids anymore (not by choice). He is very broke and in debt because of all that is going on. He can no longer afford a lawyer. He feels so powerless, helpless and hopeless that he cannot fight most of what his wife is putting him through in court. He represents himself these days.
He has stopped looking after himself and is always looking sad . He also lost his job due to his arrest and all the drama. He was arrested because he tried to go see his kids at his former home and his wife called the police that she was afraid of him and that he had come to harass her. Police arrested him even without any traces of any harassment. Note that he moved out of the family house voluntarily thinking that the period of separation would ease tension between him and his wife.
I always feel sad seeing him in this state and just wish that he could recover and bounce back. He is considering moving back to Nigeria.
Have you gone through divorce in the UK or do you know anyone who has? What was the experience and what advice would you give someone going through this?
Thank you.
Every man's worst nightmare in the UK. He should try these guys. He has nothing to lose.
Seniorwriter: So how will multiple divorce help better her life! SMH
Proactivity Leads To Productivity!!! @Seniorwriter
For some people marrying multiple times is like having multiple consecutive relationships to single people. She'll just make sure that she bangs out a solid prenuptial before marrying. She's a billionaire
Lyrics269: My friend went to this job interview in Lagos and after passing through all the steps. The manager told him that his results were good but that they don't employ Igbo people in the organization because of the [b]nasty experience [/b]they once had with an igbo employee. My friend was shocked and very depressed. Have you ever lost a job because of your tribe
It depends on what he means by nasty experience. What I've found and observed is that human beings are biased by nature. When we are biased towards certain things we are intolerant towards those things and will jump on the slightest opportunity to attack, amplify and criticise. Meanwhile we will give excuse after excuse, rationalise and show understanding towards those things that we are tolerant about, which are usually things/people that look, sound, and share similar culture/ideology with us. Look at what happened to Meghan Markle in the British Royal family? They were more or less low-key aggressive and unaccommodating to her. Obviously they are now having a nasty experience with her which might lead to them unofficially deciding that they will never allow or encourage any person of colour marrying into the family in the future. But is what they are going through now even a quarter of what they went through with princess Diana? NO. Did they decide that they will never allow a white English upper class woman marry into the royal family because of a nasty experience they experienced in the past? NO. Did they put the problems they had with Diana down to Diana herself and not her race? YES. And why? Because she is one of them hence they take a different view and more tolerant.
As far as I'm concerned the Igbo guy should actually thank his God that he didn't end up in that company because he would have seen shege there.
Seniorwriter: Ladies are one complex creation...they hardly know what they want early in life. They all have weird desires. Tell a lady to describe her kind of man and u'll be shocked the qualities can't be of this world. Anyways if you are a lady try prioritize your desires. BTW if financially independence is key to having the right partner around you then in future you might start to crave for the most important thing in a marraige relationship which is companionship!!!!
Proactivity Leads To Productivity!!! @Seniorwriter
Well at least this one will able to marry and divorce a different array of men with all the qualities she desires. Any non conforming husband will bd dispatched with very quickly.
Tizzz78: We started dating last year December, we are cool with each other, we try as much as possible to avoid quarrels.. I noticed something about my girl, everytime she meets a new guy, she tells me about it whenever we chat or talk on phone..
Pls just kind of curious, what could b my girl motive to always tell me about every new guy that meets her and exchange contacts with her..
Any bashing is welcomed, na normal vibes for here as long as I get ur opinions..
She might be testing the waters. Also the fact that your girlfriend or wife tells you about every guy she meets, and exchanges contacts with, won't stop her from falling for one of them. Those two things are mutually exclusive.
If she's testing the waters then she's smart and dangerous, because she's softening you up in the eventuality that you start making a fuss about one of them because she'll insist it's nothing "after all I was the one who voluntarily told you about him", she'll say.
Zzor: Should a man who claims to love you demand sex just because he felt he has spent so much on you?Is this enough reason to completely write him off?
The man doesn't love you. A man that loves you would not spend so much on you pay you to have sex with you. Love is NOT transactional. You should feel insulted that he is treating you like a prostitute and rightly deny him sex.
79733139: Most of them didn't develop their social skills. They basically don't know how to make friends and they don't know how to approach (and take rejections) the opposite sex.
In Nigeria, their social life was structured and for guys, money might have played a big issue in dating. However, in western countries, you need to be proactive about your social life and having money doesn't give you a big edge when it comes to dating.
We also have Nigerian females who believe women shouldn't try and approach a guy to spark his interest.
It's not as simple as that. Black girls in the UK generally have a hard time finding relationships because native white girls outnumber them 1000 to 1. The ratio is even worse for black African girls who are recent immigrants (unless you are a millionaire'£ daughter) because they have to compete with native black British girls (especially them mixed raced ones ), Asian girls and other white recent immigrants like Eastern Europeans.
Even amongst black African girls who are recent immigrants, Nigerian girls will have to compete with fellow recent immigrants/students from other African countries who tend to have a much much more relaxed attitude towards s3x and are up for whatever.
Add to that the various single mums, divorcees (and married women) who mostly have their own places, can take care of themselves and are not too fussed about you having other girls.
To make matters worse, native white British men are not like their mainland European counterparts. They are not too relaxed about dating black girls compared to native white British women who would openly date an African "just off the boat", as they say.
As you can see it can be very tough for Nigerian girls in the UK. Remember white girls in UK are in their comfort zone with good network and family support, so they are more open and available for fun, hook ups and other risky behaviour. They don't have any family or relatives to worry about or send money. They worry only about themselves and can survive for months without any job, and still not ask their boyfriend for money.
