Next time bring up such a suggestion as if its your own idea.
that being said, madam fiance is not entirely reasonable in this matte especially since she does not want to consider the size of your pocket and life after wedding when it comes to the expenditure for the ceremony. Make una sidon iron out this matter well ooo. Also be on the same page on financial matters. cos money and sex matters are teh chief source of divorce.
Make una discuss una marriage matter well ooo, reach the number of children and where una wan live and how una plan build house and whether she will work or not etc. make una agree wella before una start oooo. I no wish you evil but time still dey
Yesterday I was having a conversation with my fiancée about my mum's suggestion about how to go about our wedding which is scheduled to take place Jan next year. My mum suggested that we do both trad and white wedding on the same day to cut cost. She opined that we do the white wedding in the morning and hold the traditional marriage as a reception in the afternoon. I pretty much see reasons from her perspective considering the harsh economic condition in Nigeria.
I was relating this to my fiancée yesterday in a phone call, when she flared up and said I should have consulted her to seek her opinion on this marriage arrangement before going to my family to seek theirs because I said my mum's advise seems okay.
What I deduce from her plight was that she wants the trad marriage at the village (south-east) while the white at the town where we base (South-West). That was what I initially wanted but due to high inflation in the land, I'm actually tilting towards my mum advise because I can't go bankruptcy just because I want to satisfy her. Why not use a stone to kill two birds?
She wants a cream-de-la-cream kind of wedding but she's not ready to assist financially to make that happen. (she's an awaiting corper)
I told her that the cost of transportation and lodging people from the village (hers and mine) to the city for our white marriage alone is gulping about 500/600k. That's transportation & lodging alone ooo.. I'll now spend if not x2 of what I spent on trad for white.. Why not just do everything in the village and move on with our lives? We can actually have it in the village and it will still be all nice and glamourous.
She said she wants to have a say in how her marriage will look like. Her imput is welcomed. But if she still insist on having the white wedding and not putting finances into consideration. I'm thinking that she want the white wedding on the city because of her friends who will attend which is not enough reason to go bankruptcy for.
It was a heated argument yesterday. We both went to bed angrily and not in talking terms till now
Cause , effect and responsibility. U do without contraception the result show, u dey complain. Where in the world of Google did u see that once a month will stop pregnancy?
Bull shit!! The life of a Christian is a journey and not a destination. U grow after u become born again which means that changes happen over time. When Peter properly identified Jesus as Christ. Jesus told him that flesh and blood did not reveal that to him but the Holy spirit, yet shortly after when Peter rebuked Jesus for saying he would have to die. Jesus rebuked him by saying "get the behind me Satan".
The disciples were not sent out to preach as soon as they converted they learnt over time.
The idea that everything about a person changes as soon as he/she becomes born again is nonsense.
Let's imagine a tout who has lived on the streets all his life becomes born again do you think his manner of speech will change immediately.
I have an issue and I want you guys to be as brutally honest with me. Problems cannot be solved alone and as much as I’ve discussed this with close family, I need to get unbiased opinions from strangers. Please feel free to pm me with advise as I’m just so down about this situation.
I’m 25 years old and I live in the USA. I’m Yoruba and he’s Igbo, was born here but have also lived in naija at one point. I’ve been in a relationship with this guys for 5 years but I’m at the point where I’m seriously unhappy. Unfortunately we have a daughter together and we got engaged when I was pregnant But things are just not Looking good.
I’m going to first start off by pointing out My flaws so things can be two sided. I will say my shortcomings are
I’m extremely introverted so I don’t like to go out at all, I don’t have friends so I can be very dependent on him emotionally, and I’m not extremely jovial with his family....(he comes from a very jovial background ) because it’s not my personality but I’m friendly and respectful as much as i can be. And none of his family or friends can say they dislike me, they probably just think I’m too quiet.
When I’m upset I can say some really hurtful things.
I also allow things to get to me, and I’m not very forgiving.
I will say I’m aware of these flaws that i have and I’m actively working on them and have tried to adjust over the years with these issues.
Now with my fiancé I’m trying to be as patient as I can but I’m becoming extremely miserable in the process. He’s been doing fraudulent things for over a decade,(which I thought I could initially change him when I first met him) but I’ve realised it may not be possible. He is in his mid 30s. He blamed it on not having his documents, which I understood. He got his documents through our daughter a few months ago so I’m hopeful things will change but with the company he keeps and the amount of years he’s been doing it, I’m a little bit worried that he’s stuck in his ways.
I’m concerned about his smoking and drinking habits.
Earlier this year I found that he was looking for women to sleep with as I saw the history on our computer. He later put all the blame on his cousin then slightly admitted it but denied that he actually slept with one that he was just looking.
I can’t talk to him without him flaring up. He has this huge pride and ego. He will never ever apologise even when he is wrong I’m always the one to surrender and apologise.
At this point I don’t trust this man at all. I find he is very sneaky and deceptive. In public you will think he is a God fearing man , but doing all these things behind behind closed doors without having any conviction to change I don’t know what exactly to do.
These are just the main things as I don’t want to type too much.
Please let me know what you think I should do in this situation or if you think I have no reason to try and leave I need pure honesty. Also ask me am further question needed.
We are also not married right now as he’s still processing his divorce that he did strictly for document that didn’t work out in his favour
No front page please!!!
Your relationship sounds very toxic and I think the fault is with both of you to varying degrees. However, no blame game.
There is a saying that:
"Love is like a fart, if you have to force it it's probably shit".
For your good and his and your daughter's you guys should probably split.
Swealy: I have been searching for a job for some months now and I got an invite for a test, there was a great opportunity to cheat without getting caught I mean chances of getting caught was almost 0 and I did not I probably think if I pass the test i would scale through the other stages Does this make me stupid ?
Dem go abuse you tire! However it's good to see pple still take the Moral High road. Kudos. It's difficult to do the right things in this country yet you did. I pray that God will bless you real good and give you a job beyond your dreams. Remember God cannot be mocked.
what does he want to study and why does he want to study it?
Entayali: My younger brother is about to register for JAMB for the second time and my mum insists he must study medicine. What's so special about medicine?
She feels that doctors are rich. I've been trying to convince her. What do I do to help my bro because he doesn't want to study medicine?
tetralogyfallot: Buy your quality 18650 cells with good average capacity readings of 2500mah after test at a very affordable price of N200 per cell. It can be shipped to anywhere in Nigeria.
Lots of Nigerians are just Superstitious but they have somehow interpreted it as being spiritual. Holy spirit has no hand in a lot of things that christians and ministers do these days.
Xenry: That is not in Nigeria, lol. They have better security there.
How many people has better security saved in the US. U see bullets flying u take off.....how will better security help you when bullets are flying already.
In the US this year alone, there have been 11k gun related deaths.
Whilst banker turned TV analyst, chika mbonu was busy spewing lies about satellite imagery reminiscent of the infamous iraqi weapons of mass destruction saga, unbeknownst to him, journalists were on an unpaid media tour of the BUA Sugar Lafiagi plantation to see for themselves and also take pictures and videos that completely debunked his fake, clumsy claims of nothing being on ground. Lol. The truth was far different from what Mbonu was saying on TV.
The plantation is being developed, the ethanol plant is completed and awaiting commissioning, construction of the sugar refinery is at 68percent and shoould be completed alongside the sugar mill in Q1, 2021. Nigerians begin to wonder why the continued onslaught by Flour Mills and Dangote Sugar against BUA Sugar through the use of influencers analysts.
Nigerians online began to ask questions: what does it take to be an analyst? Only chika, his likes can answer.
Other plants have been running for mills and plantations have been operational for about 5 years now. Yet BUA got its license first and is yet to complete its mills?? The initial narrative was very true
Most of the time they were doing these things before marriage na!! OP made sense. this blame game you are playing is the mentality that piles undue pressure on marriage.
ive actually seen this happen in so many homes and it's the men that first start dousing the fire of love in marriage. They'll start by going to viewing centers or a friend's place to watch soccer, leaving the woman all alone at home. Before you know it, the gap is formed. The Interest in each other drops and you begin to see yourselves as siblings or biz partners.
Both of you are the same, u got another church girl and she got another church boy. Ojoro cancel in the battle of the sexes. Fake brother meets fake Sister. It's a win, win for you both.......or a lose, lose, depends on your understanding
Depends on your spouse and the ground rules u both agree too from the beginning. Obviously when chilren some into play that is another matter but in that case even a physical barrier may not entirely solve the problem.
there are many Horror stories of marriage out there but it is not everybodies story. many marriages are working but its not like they will make a declaration on social media. Who would come to nairaland just to say that their marriage makes sense...................? few if any.
NiRfreak: I doubt one can hardly build a home and control noise and personal space without having to demarcate certain space, personal room from entry by other family member
