escortafrik: I’m a lady in my mid-30s and life was going very well for me except for one thing everybody except me seemed obsessed with - marriage.
I have a good career, I’m financially stable, respected in my field, and I genuinely loved the life I built for myself. But every family gathering, every wedding, every phone call from relatives somehow turned into:
“So when are you getting married?” You’re not getting younger oo
Eventually, I met someone through mutual friends.
He was unemployed at the time, but that did not bother me much because he was intelligent, kind, calm, and surprisingly very knowledgeable in the same profession as me.
We connected deeply and for the first time in a long while, I felt like I had found the ‘one’
As our relationship became serious, I started helping him professionally too. I helped him restructure his CV, prepared him for interviews, connected him to opportunities, and eventually introduced him to my organisation when there was an opening.
Thankfully, he got the job.
I was genuinely happy for him because I knew how difficult things had been for him financially before then. And after he got the job, things became even sweeter between us.
And some month after he proposed to me ! my joy became complete! My family was overjoyed.
Then, just as our wedding plans were moving forward smoothly, the company we worked introduced a new policy stating that married couples could no longer work in the organisation together. Once two employees got married, one person would have to resign.
That was when the real problem started.
I assumed we would sit down and discuss it logically.
I have spent years building my career there. I’m more senior. I currently earn more. And if we’re being realistic, my position is more stable at the moment.
But my fiancé shocked me.
He told me I should be the one to resign because:
“I’m the man.”
Initially I didn’t take him seriously but as the wedding date drew closer, he kept pressuring me to resign !
I then reminded him that I was already established before he came into the company. I was the one who helped him get the opportunity in the first place. If anyone should logically stay, shouldn’t it be the person whose career was already firmly built there?
But he said it would be embarrassing for him as a man if he was the one leaving while his wife continued working there, that I could do something else like supermarket business.
Imagine !
Since then, everything has changed.
Wedding plans have paused. We now fight everyday Even his family are supporting him, telling me to resign ! my heart is broken.
Not just because of the job itself, but because I genuinely believed I was building a life with someone who saw me as an equal partner.
Well I have concluded that I won’t resign and I will also make sure he is sacked. No one should call me wicked because he is very wicked for wanting to do this to me.
The most important decision here is the one you owe yourself: look hard at the man, not just the job, before you tie your life to either. Keep the fire. Just point it at the right target: your own freedom, not his ruin.
I'm looking for a new phone and I'd love some recommendations. Here are my must-haves:
- Dual SIM with 5G network capability (or at least 4G) - Great camera performance in low light - Minimum 5000mAh battery life - At least 6GB RAM (8GB or more would be awesome) - Minimum 128GB ROM - Durable screen that won't break easily - Processor that's fast and responsive although I'm not a gamer) - Price: not more than ₦500k (preferably around ₦350k) - New, original devices only (I'm not a fan of IPhone or UK used phones, please do not suggest them). I'm currently using a Samsung phone, but open to other reliable brands.
Can anyone suggest some great options that fit these requirements?
Tecno spark 10 5G. I bought mine at 150k and it comes with 8gb ram, 256gb rom, and 5G connectivity.
LifeNot4DWeak: If I fart inside a room, especially in the evening, everybody will run away. In fact, stay outside for a few minutes before you come inside again.
I mostly pity my girlfriend because she's is the one enduring it. Chai, that girl don suffer for my hand.
The other day, i was on a date with a girl and it came. I couldnt control so i had to release and the whole place was smelling so bad. She knew i was the one and i had to apologize. Since after that day, that girl is not picking my calls again. Could that be the issue?
Abeg, could something be wrong inside me that makes my fart smell so bad? Like a rotten dead body. I'm serious. That is how bad it's.
What can I do to end this?
The extremely foul odor of your flatulence is a cause for concern and may be impacting your relationships. Let's explore potential causes and solutions.
1. Dietary Factors: The foods you consume significantly influence the smell of your gas . High-fiber foods, beans, and certain vegetables can contribute to pungent odors . Sulfur-containing foods are particularly notorious for producing a rotten-egg smell due to the release of sulfur-containing gases by bacteria in your large intestine . Consider keeping a food diary to identify potential triggers.
2. Gut Microbiome Imbalance: The bacteria in your gut play a crucial role in digestion and gas production . An imbalance in your gut microbiome can lead to the production of more odorous gases. This imbalance could be due to various factors, including diet, stress, and medication.
3. Underlying Medical Conditions: While less common, extremely foul-smelling gas could indicate an underlying medical condition affecting your digestive system. Conditions like malabsorption syndromes, celiac disease, or inflammatory bowel disease can alter digestion and produce unusually smelly gas.
4. Constipation: Constipation can cause your stool to sit in your intestines longer, leading to increased bacterial fermentation and more potent-smelling gas .
What You Can Do:
1. Dietary Changes: Experiment with eliminating potential culprits from your diet, such as high-sulfur foods (like cruciferous vegetables, eggs, and red meat), beans, and high-fiber foods, temporarily to see if this reduces the odor. Then, reintroduce them one at a time to determine which foods are causing the problem . Focus on easily digestible foods for a while.
2. Probiotics and Prebiotics: These can help rebalance your gut microbiome . Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria, while prebiotics feed existing beneficial bacteria.
3. Increase Water Intake: Staying well-hydrated can help prevent constipation .
4. Lifestyle Changes: Managing stress through relaxation techniques can also positively impact your gut health.
5. Medical Consultation: If dietary changes and lifestyle modifications don't improve the situation, it is crucial to consult a gastroenterologist. They can perform tests to rule out any underlying medical conditions . The extreme odor you describe warrants a professional evaluation.
In conclusion, while dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments are often the first steps in addressing smelly flatulence, persistent or unusually pungent gas warrants a visit to your doctor to rule out any underlying health issues. Addressing the root cause is essential for both your health and your relationships.
Even on Nairaland, people with large following are paid to twist the narrative on this platform. Some specifically open new accounts to spread disinformation. This is an election to determine the future of our dear country. Sadly, not everyone has this same idea.
NewSoul: So I collected my PVC (Permanent voters card) a week ago. I registered July last year online and went to complete registration and have them take my biometrics on November 10 2021.
The process was very easy and timely as there were just two people at the INEC centre who also came for PVC collection. I wrote my name, number and address on separate papers and signed both. The INEC official took a passport photograph of me (straight face and smiling) to make sure it matches with the previously submitted photos when I registered (They do not want people collecting for others by proxy) and I was handed my PVC. The process didn't take up to 5 minutes.
NOTE: If you registered between last year and January of this year your PVC is ready for pick up at your centre. Just go with the small paper given to you at the point of registration. DON'T WAIT FOR LAST MINUTE RUSH
God bless you as you get your PVC and elect credible leaders that will move the Nation forward.

Akwamkpuruamu: Now, how will POS guys survive? This is not fair to the common man
The policy is unfair, but as Nigerians, man gotta ne smart. POS guys should just open at least 5 separate bank accounts with separate banks. That way, they can beat the withdrawal limit.
LasisiAyodeji: At the dying minutes of preparation ahead of the 2022 FIFA WORLD CUP, Senegalese talisman Sadio Manè was withdrawn from the team that would represent Senegal at the football festival in Qatar. His immediate withdraw, was seen as a let down to the already high spirit of the newly crowned African champions. However, whilst analysis are being given on Senegal's chances without Manè, we must not be quick to forget that in 2002, Senegal under the tutorage of Bruno Metsu and the inspiration of players like Toni Silva, El-Hadj Diof, Tony Camara, Aliou Cisse, Papa Bouba Diop and Ferdinand just to mention a few, got to the quarter finals before they lost out through a golden goal against Turkey. Ever since, the nation team hasn't really done well in major tournaments until 2019 when, they had succeeded in gathering some of the finest players Africa has to offer on the global stage. The resultant is that, they became champions of Africa for the very first time in February 2022. Exactly 20 years after they had lost out on penalties to Cameroon. Though comprising of a highly talented set of players, one might begin to downplay the chances of Senegal's surprise element in Qatar due to the absence of the inspirational Sadio Manè. At the same time, if we look holistically at the depth in their squad, one might see reasons why this team can make it as far as the semi finals and possibly lift the trophy.
Their Achilles heel is Mendy and their lack of finishing touch upfront. They need a Sadio Mane in that team.
WannaHowzit: Road signs which appear to welcome drug dealers have popped up in a middle-class Cape Town suburb.
But residents of Rosebank say the signs are meant to be a deterrent – and they seem to be working.
His first sign asks drivers to “Give way to oncoming drug dealers”, while the second announces a “cocaine dropoff zone” that operates from 11:00 to 15:00 on weekdays.
Apart from one or two truculent responses after he put up the signs in the early hours, the man says the response from his neighbours has been overwhelmingly positive.
In reply to a post on a community group saying, “Whoever you are, please stop, the signs don’t work” the man says about 25 people wrote, “They are brilliant, please never stop.”
He was spurred to action by the regular drug deals taking place in Rosebank’s quiet residential streets.
Rosebank resident Coral Gardiner says a “dropoff” sign was put up outside her house during the night. “I had a good chuckle when I saw it in the morning,” she says. “It’s such a clever way of bringing this issue to people’s attention, and whoever’s responsible is probably fed up of residents looking the other way.”
Another resident, Candice-Lee Kannemeyer, says dealers’ cars have not been seen as frequently since the signs started appearing about two weeks ago.
“Obviously people in the area are thinking about what can be done, and the signs are some resident’s last resort. Other people have said we should photograph the dealers’ cars and put them on huge posters.”
From her loft office, Gardiner says she sees drug deals happening in the street regularly. Kanneyemer says the routine is always the same: a car - either the dealer or the client - waits in a pre-arranged spot, and when the other party arrives the dealer leads the customer to another location nearby where the exchange happens.
“The police are no use, and security patrols can’t do much,” she says. “The dealers just say they’re waiting for a friend, or they claim to be Uber drivers.”
The man who made the signs, who insisted on anonymity because “I don’t want drug dealers to know who I am”, says they cost him about R130 (N3,400) each, and he has been asked if he can supply them to other suburbs.
He says his campaign will continue, because “one arrest is like cutting off the head of the Hydra. The syndicates just send someone else.”
Some 1000 years later, archeologists who in their bid to discover how life is now, would prolly chance on this and think that use of cocaine was legal in South Africa.

There is obviously something going on between Jandor and Funke because i don't understand why this guy is willing to commit political sucide by choosing someone who is literally unknown in Lagos politics.
