did you read it at all?
is it that long?

op...... Keep porking ur nose in other people marriage,u better face front and get married to ur miss perfect.
i am not poking nose o.... just the i've seen lotta marriage issues.... Some involving close friends/relations happen right under my nose and believe me, its not palatable at all. I just wished i wasnt there at the time.

The thread where a husband is accusing his inlaw of interferin in his marriage by buying his wife a car, something like that happened to an aunt... After 3 kids.... Lotta packing outs and packing ins and finally packing out completely... I still have their wedding pictures... Those smiling faces.... Are now enemies.

You dont always have to go look for trouble..... There are sometimes when trouble will start right where you are sleeping......!!...
Family › I Dont Envy Married People At All by oweniwe(op): 8:18pm On Dec 30, 2014
It all starts with romance... Romance between the man and lady.... The Lady considers the size of the man's pocket while the man examines is she is a "wife material"....

Forget about love.... Men and women marry for various reasons and love is least of them.... People marry because of what the other person has to offer... If u have nothing to offer, you can hardly get married and if what you have to offer dries up after you're married, you're in one kind mind tormenting soup.......!!....

Weeks before the wedding, den no go let person hear word. Pixs of the "lover birds" in romantic poses... Wedding IV.... So much noise and hype..... On the wedding day.... I don't understand how a man who is living in a rented apartment will spend millions on a day event when one can buy a good plot of land outside town for 500k.... Marriage is an investment abi? Spouce dey come and go but your land will always be there.... Well.... After people have helped you eat your money finish.... You will now face one kaind gloomy, boring, and monotonous routine everyday....

For the men, when they can't endure d boring routines anymore, den go begin "waka waka" looking for mistresses.... The mistress will say "let me chop his money and enjoy myself"..... The wife herself who is probably a former mistress herself (beleive me, all dos gals get "history" o) will pouring spit, nagging and cursing.... Shebi you did the same to another woman husband so why you dey vex?
If it is not money issues, it is about sexx, wicked inlaws, unromantic wife, uncaring husband.... bla bla bla.... Then they will come to nairaland looking for advice.... SMH... Abeg carry your cross go meet ur husband/wife.... Nairalanders will make drama out of your "confessions".

Small time.... You go hear fight.... Den seperation.... Then ultimately, divorce.... If you ask how did it happen, they will say "I miss road"......!!....

What irritates me most is the trend of young girls in their teens and early 20s dating married men.... Its like they're having competition.... When they get married and a younger gal does same to their husband, they'll scream blue murder.....!!.... I know you'll say am focusing on the women and leaving the men blameless.... Not really.... If the women don't condone it, men wont do it.... If your elder brother want is having mistress, the wife is the cause... She dont know how to take good care of your brother, she's too old, my brother need young blood..... You too, if your husband "carry woman", u dont know how to take care of your husband and you're getting old..... Lobatan.....!!...

So next time i see those pre-wedding pictures... All those IVs, aso ebi and co... E go be like... Two people are looking for each other's troubles...

Hmmm..... Hmmm

i don't envy them at all. Especially those guys getting married on monthly salary.... Now you're giving her money she's not complaining... If you lose your job and she has to be paying the bills, she will start doing like.. You're a lazy man... All you know is to eat... Am paying all d bills ooo .... E gba mi o .....

When he was taking care of you, when you were eating... You're not lazy... But now he has no job, he is lazy...


* looks right... looks left *
* sees some angry ladies preparing a cricifix *

* takes off my shoes and pick race.....*

(for those who take pride in not knowing how to)
not all naija women fancy men who can cook o.....

They know how serious men take food matter.... So when the husband can cook, they lose their "monopoly"...

A woman who's husband can't cook can "misbehave", whine, nag and refuse to cook till her husband beg and beg her to go cook.... U know women and their pride nau

but if the husband can cook..... If my wife try that.... I no go send... If she like make she refuse to cook from new yr to xmas.... I will just waka to d kichen and cook for myself..

[color=BLUE]
YOU buy the Mercedes-Benz, and be happy with it, leaving ME to make MY own choices, abhorrent they may be to you.[/color]
no no no.... Dont get me wrong sir. I do not abhor ur choice.... Am a big fan of the A6.... Its just that... Its somehow intriguing for one to stick to a particular brand all the years.... Thats real strong love and passion. smiley

well, maybe the climate affects the choice of cars.... If u view things from "Nigeria angle" of bad roads and mechanic... If i have a choice of picanto and A class here in Nigeria, i'll choose the picanto cos its easier to find garages that can service it around..... Btw a C class and A4, i'll choose the c class (same reason for picking picanto).... Btw E class and A6, i'll pick A6 (who no like AWD).... Btw Lexus RX, Q7 & ML, i'll pick the ML...

But if i were on your side... with all the smooth roads and "loaded" garages... I'll pick the A8 over the GL class. A luxury SUV on narrow smooth roads... A sedan is better...

But here in Nigeria, i can't try it. To drive an A8 over enugu-onitsha express(?)way.... Ah.... Pot holes and ditches here and there.... The GL would do better. grin

maybe thats why we folks here are awed that u choose to stick with Audi all the years... We tend to 'first' view audi from the "nigerian angle".

smiley

and i forgot.... Here, we have only rainy and dry season so rust wouldnt be an issue here unlike in the u.k that only experience short spring. I now understand why u're so concerned about rust.

What do you suggest that the owner of a full size truck use it to do otherwise?
construction/site runs..... Long distance travels.... Oil/diesel barrel transport..... Etc

using a 3.7L^ engine vehicle for intra-city distribution doesnt just make sense..... If it were a hilux or mitsubishi L200, no wahala..... Thats from my perspective o.

@ siena
well.... Its about the market/sales...

Toyota learnt that long ago.... A automobile doesnt have to be 100% perfect.... Build what people want, add what your competitors dont have.... Add safety paraphernelia.... Roll it to the market and make your money.... Abi u want them to produce what wouldnt sell?

Well, so..... Are u saying you'll pick a picanto over an A class? Or an optima can match a C350? ... If u ask d common drivers what issues they detest most in a car, believe me, rust would be the least of responses.... You see it here every day on nairaland... "i want a rugged car that is economical with cheap parts"...... So.... In conclusion, dont blame Mercedes for choosing to shift market focus or relegate some quality specs.... If u want to make it big.... Give people what they want (toyota), not what is best for them (peugeot)...

People see all those loaded gadgets in Benz and they buy it..... They dont see the rust until 7-15 years later.... So.... Maybe we're at same junction sha.... Take the Benz...use it.... When u notice rust.... Paint it.... Sell it........!!.... grin

Politics › Re: Synagogue Building Collapse Caused By Infrasonic Weapon (witness) by oweniwe(m): 9:47am On Dec 23, 2014
talktimi

America demolished the biulding because T.B joshua was accepting people from ebola countries into the church and also sent aids to them directly. Its is feared that such acts can further spread ebola through the country.

T.B joshua was warned but he refused to compromise.... I stand with him though. A true man of God doesnt forsake people in need... Jesus gave us The good samaritan as example.

Nigerian authorities know that america did it.... The so called strange aircraft is an american military transport plane. The infrasonic cannon was fitted to the plane and sonic projectiles fired at the building from there.

"According to the Acoustic Weapons Prospective Assessment article, which appeared in the volume 9, 2001 issue of Science and Global Security, infrasound can produce localized earthquakes. A large room within a building can act as a resonance chamber to upset the foundation causing a miniature earthquake".

"These weapons are basically sonic rifles and canons which can transmit invisible energy over hundreds of meters, causing a blunt impact. The Nazis are said to have developed a sonic cannon capable of shooting down allied bombers. In the early 1990s Russia had created a 10 Hz sonic cannon, which consisted of an infrasonic generator connected to a radar dish. It transmitted invisible projectiles the size of a baseball hundreds of meters affecting a blunt force on a target."

It has a distance of at least 50 meters. The UK, Russia, and Germany have also expressed interest in this technology. This weapon dates back to World War II when an Austrian-born Nazi scientist, Dr. Zippermeyer, invented a device known as the Wind Cannon (windkanone) intended to shoot down Allied bombers. It was an explosion-driven vortex capable of transmitting a high-velocity whirlwind of smoke at least two hundred meters. It consisted of a combustion chamber the size of a building which generated the explosion, and a specialized nozzle at the end of a tube attacked to the chamber, which formed the vortex. In addition to the explosion-driven method previously mentioned, the air pressure which passes through the nozzle can also be produced by an infrasonic generator. Although the projectile can be generated acoustically, the actual energy projectile which collides with a target consists of air or gas. After the air is generated, it exits the chamber through a special nozzle that forms the vortex. It works in the following way: As the burst of air exits, the air in the center of the nozzle moves much faster than the air on the sides, so it curves around from the center to the outer edges and forms a fast-moving circular air current (a vortex). A natural example of this is a tornado or the smoke ring of a cannon. As far as movement is concerned there are a couple of considerations. First, the speed at which the whirlwind rotates, plus the speed at which it travels to its target. Both contribute to the blunt force effect upon the target. The faster the whirlwind itself rotates the more stable and solid the vortex. The vortex can be transmitted slowly, similar to the way a tornado whirling at two hundred miles an hour moves across the landscape at only a few miles an hour. Or it can reach its target very quickly. A vortex can hold chemicals, which it can accurately deliver over a great distance.

So for me i'm a good guy, so when i wanna marry,

THEREAFTER, TURN BACK INTO A GOOD GUY
and have a marriage and family btw a good guy and a good girl grin
for wia? Try it and see if ur wife wont turn into something else.

For example, if u change back to good and start helping ur wife wife kitchen/house chores, she will begin to disrespect and take u for granted....

If u make her feel too special, she will start tinking u are a mumu.... Women have a kinda weired way of thinking...

Thats why, outside the home, our fathers are usually jolly jolly... But inside d house, they wear iron face.... Cos if they do jolly jolly at home too, mommy will begin to "misbehave"...

Women want a man who control every aspect of their lives.... So turning bak to good after marriage.... Ur wife will just begin to take u for granted.

I agree with a poster who said there should be an official limit of 2 kids and people apply for more kids.
na wa o... People "applying" to have to have more than 2 children? na job vacancy?

In Nigeria, its not practical at all. How will u tell a moslem man who already has 2 kids and just married anoda wife to apply for official approval before he go give him new wife belle? grin

so what happens to unplanned pregnancies, they should all be aborted?

What if one stick to 2 kids and both die in a accident? I do kno families with 7 children wit only 3 kids left .... Tins lik that.

Am not saying pple can hav 20 kids if the want o,... But dividing people into "rich" and "poor" and then slam 2 kids limit on the "poor"..... Isnt that worse than racism ?

to the poster above:

this is nt a gender argument. no derail this thread to boy and girl fight matter abeg.

lets view ds thread objectively. and make salient points
what objectivity when the thread is somehow skewed to make it seem like its all poor men's responsibility and duty not to hav children cos dey cant afford to tak care of.... Is it the men that get pregnant biko?

A woman who has already had 3 children staying in a one room apartment with her husband.... They shouldnt hav intimacy again? The husband should castrate himselfhuh

Man's job is just to "do" and rest.... Its up to the woman to decide if she want to get pregnant or not... kilokeys, if ur wife or babe tell u she's pregnant when u arent really keen on having more kids, WHAT CAN U DO ABOUT IT? Tell her to abort??

Those so called poor kids today could be tomorrow's millionaires.... Even Okonjo Iweala's father had nothing after the civil war.... But look at them today....

Its the same people we meet on the way up that we will meet when coming down.

Am not suprised its mostly the ladies who are strongly shouting and screaming the poor shouldnt have kids....

You people talk as if its only men that are poor & broke while all women are millionaires..... A gal ask her guy for N5,000 to fix her hair, he say he doesnt have 5k.... The same gal who doesnt even have N200 in her purse will start running mouth that her boyfriend is a "broke guy"....

They're focusing on the "poor men".... Poor men should not marry & have kids... As if na men dey carry belle and born pickin.... Poor men should not have sex.... If all poor men refuse to have sex because they are poor, who will service poor women who are "on heat"? Its only rich guys that should be "servicing" both rich and poor women huh If that is the case, then all rich families will "scatter" cos of rich men "infidelity".... I dont know wat exactly naija gals problem be.... They want a man to stay with them alone, yet say poor men shouldnt have sex.... Wo.... By the time ur so called "rich husband" give 2 house gals belle, give 3 sexy cleaners belle again, and keep a string of 5 hawker "service & go" concunbine, na una same rich gals go open mouth begin beg poor guys make den start f¤orking poor women..... Nor be today Naija gals be hypocrites..

Its not even about the men... Its you women.... Women, whether rich or poor, are programmed to bear children, if a woman whether a lowly house gal or rich king daughter cannot have children, we all know the kinda tears she will cry.... If a rich woman is married to a impotent rich man, wont she sharply look for a "hunky labourer" to make her pregnant??

Naija gals be like, money doesnt matter, love is what matters.... But here, they're all condemming poor men.... Mike Adenuga, was he born a rich man? Goodluck Jonathan, Cosmos Maduka, even DBanj was once a security man... Are people born rich?? Wealth is not fixed. You can be a billionaire today and be begger tomorrow... David Beckham's father was a scavenger... The fact that a man is rich today doesnt mean he cant be poor tommorow and vice versa..... If a rich man with kids become poor, he should kill his children cos he's now a poor man?

Naija gals.... Na only rich man they wan marry.... Smh.... Later they will be running mouth that husbands are scarce .....!!...

If u know how to "use people's skills", if something goes wrong on ur side, ur just call a relation to fiz it for u.... Whenever i have gen trouble, i nor dey go mechanic... I just cal my dad's youngest bro to come and "take a look" at the gen... And when he comes, i follow him everywia he goes in the house so he doesnt "borrow a property" after he's fixed the gen. grin

drmikeadams:
So its okay to be very rich and watch Ur elder brother or sister suffer.?una dey try.
let me ask you.... They may be "very rich".... But..

1. Do you know the source of their money? Do you know whether it is corruption, crime or cult money? People who get rich through those means know the consequence of spending the money on their children/relations so they rather spend it on drinks, cars and prost!tutes.... If someone give you N10m dirty money, by the time all money has flown away and u havent done anything meaningful with the money and ur problems seems to have trippled, you will regret say, why i go ask am for money sef ?

2. Did your parents/family/community help the relation u are expecting money from when the relation was struggling? You think those rich people werent once broke and struggling like you? Did your parents/family/community support them at the time? Most of those issues happened when we were kids, even before we were born... I may be that they werent supported when they needed help so they dont feel obliged to help u.

3. Is it their responsibility to give you the money? Dont think just beacuse the person is an uncle or aunty, its his/her responsibility to help you... Forget all the outside pomp and flambouyance... Under their singlets, inside their bedroom, those people have their own problems and issues. Rich people cry too... If you need help, just make a gentle request, send a reminder after a few days and leave it dia... Person wey go help you go help you... Otherwise, dont bother them.

We are not saying it is bad to help a relation in need... What we are saying is that you should not depend on them or expect them to do things for you.... Try... Hustle... Work out ways to make your own money...

If you have money and someone comes to you for help, give and dont expect any favour back in return so that when you are in need too and they dont give you, you will not be disapponted.

having felt and experienced both ends of the stick, i can say i understand u people's point....

My father.... Told me that he his parents only sent him to pry school. Infact, his parents didnt train any of their children beyond primary school.... My dad went to work as mechanic apprentice... He gave his savings to his father to keep for him so he could proceed to secondary school..... His papa drank ogogoro with his savings while mama used d rest to buy iron pots and aso ebi for her dance troupe group......

Fortunately for him, he got employed as driver to d state secretary of a trade union.... From dia, he went to yabatech and joined d union.... That was in the 80s... Then he got married to my mom, set up his house.....etc.... Now, the irony is that... The same parents who thought its waste of money sending their children to school, who burnt his savings, are the ones who started bombarding our house for "this & that".... U know how first borns dey carry family load nau... Dats how it was with my dad.... Toxic Family interference from my dad's side eventually wrecked the marriage.

Then came the june 12 crises up to abacha era.... Things were very rough for us.... To pay school fees was hard for my dad.... It was only during obasanjo era when NLC started growing balls that money started flowing in again.... U can imagine what happened next? My dad's younger ones started dumping their children into the house for my dad to train for them... My dad didnt send them away.... He helped so many of his cousins and nephews even to his own children's detrinment.... When my dad put me and my elder bro and sis in private university, you need to come and see how relatives were shouting that he's wasting money... He should send us to Auchi or Abraka.... You recall my dad only went to primary school, so for him to train his children, nieces and nephew up to university level, he's a very nice man....

However.... In 2011, he got retired from service... It came suddenly, he wasnt prepared.... I was in 400L den... All the money he made was sunk into "family matters", building "house for baba"....etc... He had to sell off a Sienna to be able to pay our final yr fees... One Camry 03 was snatched at gun point... Cut long story short, things became rough for us again.

Now you would expect the relations that my dad had been helping all the years to come and assist him now that he's in need.... For wia? Anytime they see my dad, they will run... You will call them 7 times before they will pick.... The irony is that..... It is friends that he used to overlook when he had money that used to send him money...

If i call some of my aunties or uncles whose kids my dad trained dat i want to come for a short visit, they will tell me not to come... When i was serving, they all promised to help me find job when i pass out.. But after, they dont "know anybody"/go and apply online/go to lagos to find job...

I was asking the same question the OP is asking now... Why are these relations refusing to help me despite all my dad did for them? My mom's younger sister even deleted me from her facebook list say i dey disturb am huh sad

You know what gave me the inspiration to stop brooding & demanding favors from relations? It is Nkem Owoh (osuofia) "Know me when am poor" song... That song changed my mentality. If you dont know me when am poor, when i become rich, i nor go look you... I go vex... Since then, i just face my own problems. I don't call my relations for anything again... If i need something i call friends & they help out... But relations? To hell with them.

If i become millionaire tomorrow and my friends come to visit, even without them asking, i will make sure they leave with fat wallets... But relations.... make den come meet me for "help" or bring their children for me to train... I will carry big stick and use it to chase them away....!!... angry
