skillzbae:Please am begging you, don't 'tame' this intelligent girl as other responders have been suggesting. She's just natural curious and has a good ability to express herself. Teach her social skills as she grows up but don't let her lose her confidence and feel as though being smart and expressive is something to be punished. Don't you see kiddies program in this clime where seemingly intelligent kids just freeze whenever they are in front of the cameras. its due to years and years of being shut up when trying to express themselves up until they psychologically feel suppressed when adults are around |
Apart from the issue of physical abuse - from both parties - that's a major, major red flag - I'd say patience is very critical. Am not married yet but in my relationship, one of the most important thing I've learnt is patience. Your marraige is still young and I wish you best of luck. Also, work on the your ability to communicate your feeling without hurting each other. Learn the right approach, the right time to bring up the certain issues. |
As much as I love Iniesta as a person and player but frankly, did Iniesta do anything remarkable this year ? |
Time fails me but I would have provided bios of the underlisted and searched for pix online to spice up the thread, however these are other notable mentions amongst the almost forgotten 'greats' of Nigerian football especially in the 80's when I was a growing football addict. Victor Igbinoba Andrew Uwe Kayode Keshinro Andrew Aikhomogbe Lemmy Issa Jide Oguntuwase Bawa Abdulahi Sam Elijah DImeji Lawal Christopher Nwosu Adeolu Adekola Etim Esin (Okocha's Forbearer) Chris Ohenhen Segun Fetuga Yisa Shofoluwa (The prototype of the modern left wing back who was scorned back then for displaying flair instead of grit as a defender) Bright Omokaro and Ademola Adeshina (Butchers) David Ngodigha Ishaya Jatau Friday Elaho Friday Ekpo (paved way for the okocha/oliseh generation) That's all for now folks |
chux4liv:Hate to be the spoil sport but it was so obvious that Osondu was some sort of fraud. Best player in the u-17 world cup at the age of 16 in 1987 but got invited to the green eagles camp in 1981 ostensibly at the age of 10 No wonder, In a complete football article by Segun Odegbami in 1988, while assessing the gains of Nigeria Football the previous year (1987), made the phrase 'if Philip Ziazia Osondu is under 17 then my grandfather is under 30 !!'. (The bright spark of that article was when he talked about an emerging talent within the ranks of Shooting Stars who he suggested was good enough to bypass the Junior eagles and move straight to the seniors - his name ? Mutiu Adepoju. Less than a decade later, he was proved absolutely right !) |
Its known in Plateau state that though the Langtang man might be fun loving, He is actually quite susceptible to fits of anger. There is yet no evidence that the OP's account of events is true but for corp members posted to Langtang, caution should be your watchword, enjoy the friendliness of the locals but don't take anything for granted |
@ dotmanz Am sorry, but I think your wife was possessed or had mental problems. Or maybe, just maybe. ....you're not telling us the full story. Am sorry bout all that happened to you and hope your next attempt at love is more successful |
nex: A friend of mine, who was a Nairalander got involved in a car crash earlier in the year, I went to see him in LASUTH, and cried a lot during that period because of the state of that hospital. People were coming in and they were just being left at the reception to die.My condolences, my story is similar to yours ! But in my case, He died on July 29/30. Still grieving . |
That was 3 weeks ago That was the only time I have cried in my adult life. I lost a very close friend and former roommate. He was in his thirties and left behind a wife and two kids He was also on nairaland My dad died two years ago and I didn't shed a single tear but this was just too painful and sudden, |
okparaugo:Bros na wa O !! We say make you talk wetin happen.....you say girls are bad ! Please let us know the details of your molestation, why am curious is that, I used to be one of those that think it is not possible (or highly unlikely) for an adult male to be molested but your story might just open my eyes more...... |
okparaugo: As an adult, i have been molested by a lady before but I kept quietHmmm.....Do you know the word 'molest' more often than not often has sexual connotations ? Its not just about physical assault. If indeed you have been molested as an adult male. I (and am sure the whole of nairaland) might want to know more about it. It might help someone out there by learning how to handle such scenario. |
KanwuliaJara: Not safe!Wow ! So succinct and on point. God bless you for this. My opinions exactly. The OP can take whatever meaning she wants out of this but this is the gospel truth |
The issue of men being beaten by their wife (or molested Men have a more physical nature and in an age where it is totally frowned at and unacceptable (and rightly so) to be physical in a confrontation on the family front (or relationships). Most men end up suffering in silence. Most introverts are particularly vulnerable. Women have been conditioned from an early age to battle emotionally, (either by nature or nurture) not so for men. Its easy to hear of ladies who have not spoken to their roommates for a week due to one minor issue or the other but men just don't toe that line. Personally, for me over time, my way of checking people's excesses is by exercising my right to walk away from them. But going into relationships, you realise that you just can't keep walking away and there seems to be a battle between trying to make things work by consistently bending and trying to just stand where you are and allowing your partner to take the walk if she wants to. At this rate, I can sadly assure you that the case of abusive women/abused men will continue to be on the rise. Judging by the statistics from the UK, (alarmingly at about 40%), it is quite clear that most abused victims are male already in the UK because the reality is that a major percentage of men will never speak up in instances of abuse It is generally seen as wimpish to be abused as a man but to now talk about it or report it makes you 'double wimpish'. No man wants to be the greatest wuss in the world. As a kid my dad left home, to live on his own, didn't remarry, didn't go into any other relationship that we knew of. Just decided to be on his. Looking back and based on the little I have come to know, I am 100% percent sure he felt abused and decided to take the walk. So yes, male abuse has always been an issue lying under the surface. And I can imagine how difficult back then it would have been for him to talk about it. |
How did I forget ? |
As far as the literary value of this piece is unquestionable........ It is scientifically inaccurate, sensationalism at its best, the kind Nigerians love to read without checking up the facts. This can only spread unnecessary panic cos of its alarmist nature. To make clear, I admire the literary prowess of the author and I agree Ebola is an epidermic that poses so much danger to our nation right now but we still need to get our facts right. 1. Symptoms of Ebola begins to manifest between 2-21 days but typically it takes at least a week. So you can't catch ebola today and start vomiting tomorrow......mba ! 2. A person with Ebola that's still walking around cannot transmit the virus.....only people who are visibly sick and have clearly manifested symptoms can transmit the virus So ebola aint the bubonic plague ! its very preventable in fact one of the reasons it was always contained in the DR Congo in time past was because many of the tribes had a culture that forbade young people unnecessarily touching people older than them. So in effect, a lot of kids lived with infected parents and never got infected. So nice writing style but please let's spread the right message. |
donnypool: Op you are totally wrong in some aspect, economic wise Black countries are poor but mentally body is equal, there is no curse anywhere, its not due to slavery or any other thing, but it is due to greed. The mind of an average African mind is filled with greed, the average African man want to be better than the rest, so therefore he careless to provide jobs just so that the man he tagged poor will not be richer than himself tomorrow. Dangote is a billionaire, but what has he done to help Nigeria?, Abacha stole billions, where did he keep the money? James Ibori went and bought estate in UK with investment, why didn't he build the estate here?I don't see the difference between what you have said and the OPs opinion, you just expressed the same sentiments in different word. bottomline, There is a problem somewhere that's holding us back |
Donald Trump is usually silly...... ......but in this case he might not be totally wrong. If we had done this to flights from Liberia, our current situation might have been avoided. As a matter of principle, even the home countries with high incidence of the infection should have banned non-essential flights to and fro themselves without waiting for others to reject them. Note that Mauritius in Africa here has already banned flights from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea |
Put the gas cooker away from your cooker, yeah right ??What about those cylinders with their cookers right on top of them ? I start cooking outdoors abi ? |
shorexng and missy89 thumbs up !! As much as war is almost impossible to justify and leaves a cruel and bitter trail in its wake. If peace must be obtained at the price of servitude, it is no longer peace, its slavery |
AlBaqir: First, only the letters of the Arabic Qur'an are sacred meaning that the cover protective pages of the Qur'an or ordinary translation is not.Though I am not a muslim but I must say your response sounds moderate and very reasonable, at least from the perspective of one who believes in or respects the Islamic religion Although, I feel the gender of the questioner should have been queried because he somehow does not sound female to me. Anyway, I appreciate you answer because one of the major challenges of religion in today's times is the ability to adapt to the vicissitude of modern life without necessarily being corrupted by it. |
Ishilove: Infact ehn, I am flabbergastedlol !!!!!! |
ishilove and lynpetra Una get wahala o.... In all the cases of 'masculine' mortality in this country, how many have you seen come from the 'things' you have been mentioning. Please let's focus on saving our girls under Boko haram, the guys 'under' ain't complaining. |
0merta: Food for thought...Your 'Nigga' needs to go see TB Joshua......He needs a destiny reset by virtue of the uncleaningness he has swallowed. and why you dey ask ishi dat kain question online abeg leave am ! |
I wish I can transfer some of my weight to you like MTN credit. We're the same height, just checked ma weight and am presently 80 something kg ! |
I command you to scroll back up now......... I don't know why I find the girl by the far right on the OP's pix very attractive ![]() Now I can see all the guys have obeyed my instruction |
proevan: I see your beef is between the new and old testament is it in the knowledge or the books. Mind you 80'/, of what you call new-testament are quotes from the old. Matt.4: temptation od Jesus is Deut.8:3, Psalm 91 etc we are not here to debate nwe or old testaments but dreams. Jesus came to fulfill the old testament and not abolish it remember and as long as everyone doesn't have the Holy Spirit people will continue to dream dreams and want interpretations.So you are the SadeIyare ? ? ? ? remember and as long as everyone doesn't have the Holy Spirit people will continue to dream dreams and want interpretations. As long as you agree on the bolded, then there's no point pushing this. It shows you know what God's perfect plan is and I can relate with your reason for still insisting on dreams and their interpreters. However, a forum like this is definitely not too appropriate to fully exhaust my reasons for insisting it is slippery ground. |
proevan: So why do God minister to people through Angels when we have the Holy Spirit in this dispensation ?As I said, God can minister through a Donkey if He so wishes ! but the Word of God still remains the yardstick to determine God's plans and purposes for a man's life not professional dream interpreters who manipulate circumstances to suit what they want to say ! |
First off, God is answerable to know one, and he can choose to speak through a donkey if he so wishes. But God through scriptures has established patterns with which He intends to deal with his children in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit proevan: Acts.2: 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:From a spiritual perspective, what do you think 'old men denote'. Men and women, who will fulfill God's agenda in this time and age, will run with visions and prophetic words......write the vision and make it plain upon the tablets, (Hab 2). proevan: Matt.27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.Sorry I sound harsh, but this is why many fail exams. Was she a believer ? Was she under the new covenant ? proevan: Matt.2: 22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:Pls clear this misconception, the new testament did not start after Malachi. Joseph was very much an old testament man. The new testament started between the time the curtain of the temple was rent and the day of pentecost. Everybody before then, except Jesus of course, operated under the old testament. proevan: Matt.1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.The old testament was still fully in operation as at this period !!!!!!!! |
lynpetra: REALLYIf the devil cannot manipulate Jesus through dreams, then why you ?......no mind the naysayers, just they chop they go if you wish. |
lynpetra: I NEED DELIVERANCE ASSSSSAPPPPPPPPPPPP.JESU LORD.IF UNA SEE THE KIND AGEGE AND EWA AGOYI,AMALA ORISIRISI,EWEDU WEY I REY SHOP FOR DREAM UNA GO FEAR.MOST TIMES I GO WAKE UP FOR NIGHT DRINK A WHOLE BOTTLE OF COLD WATER TO FLUSH AM DOWN,DEN GRAB TOOTHPICK.EWOOO.FATHER HELP YOUR DAUGHTER OOOBaby Lynpopo, abeg no mind dem !!! It means you will eat the good of the land.......read Isaiah 1v18, you'll thank me later ![]() |
EBK2: 2.Cor.10: 3: You dont war in dreams. As believers, we war in prayers, the Word and Holy Spirit. So this Scripture is irrelevant in this discussionENK2 abeg help me tell them that there was no explicit place in the bible where God spoke to a new testament believer via dreams. This dream thing is just an offshoot of african traditional beliefs a.k.a voodoo |
pak: Oya make una come interprete my dream of early this morning. Adeniyi A.:What a load of tosh !! Is it not more logical that the fact that I starred at the lady's bum yesterday night influenced my dreaming about her this morning ![]() |
