Google Translate is a very useful tool. It shows that Machala means nothing in Greek.

In Spanish Machala means "crush it"

Before fumigating look for all possible entry holes and plug them. It is unlikely that the millipedes are breeding in your room. After blocking the holes then fumigate.

How long does it take to complete the process of Trade Mark registration?
6-18 months. Depends on a number of variables. Particularly the issues surrounding publication of the application and issues of opposition to the application.

If there are no significant issues the. 6-12 months is a fair estimate.

Send a DM. Trade mark registration is more complex than company registration

Valenciabaddie:
So I'm single just because I told my boyfriend turned ex that I can't do his house chores for him .
He's a salary earner that works from 8-5
This guy expects that I go over to his house ,clean and cook before he comes back ??. when I'm not married to him ,and anytime I refused he flares up and starts making silly comments like "so what is now your use " imagine that annoying statement from someone I thought was literate and intelligent.. can you imagine that ?.. So I have to offer services before I can be usefulhuh? ..
I was frustrated and I told him I'm done and this guy did not even bother to show remorse, like he's okay with the break up ??

I'm really sorry but I find it appalling to be washing plates and sweeping a man's house when I'm not a slave , and even If I will do that then it has to be my own free will not you telling me to do it like it's my job..

if other women do that well I'm sorry I can't . atleast not while we are still dating
Would you have dated him if he said he can't spend any money on someone who is not his wife or he cannot touch u since he is not married to you etc

Let's get down to the topic.
If you were offered a Job in Lagos for N150k and you were offered the same job in Ibadan for N120k, which one will you go for?
Ibadan is far cheaper and far less stressful. The 120k in Ibadan will likely achieve more than the 150k in Lagos. But which of the jobs offers more opportunities for growth and devpt and increments. Cos Ibadan? Consider future prospects in your decision.

Killertune20:
Having dated for about 3 years, early this year, we had an altercation, I believe the distance between us caused it cause I moved to a different state.

Late last year she told me about a young pastor who's asking for her hand in marriage, I asked about her stance and she said she didn't see it happening, but 2 weeks after the altercation, she told me she is considering the pastor.

Ever since then, I have tried to move on but I can't, this babe ticks all the boxes for me, for more than 3 years cause we started dating in school while I was in 300L and she 200L, It's been like no other girl existed in the world for me.

Now the usual gimmick "the lord said you are my wife" has cost me something I value so much.

I love this babe with all my heart, now the things I do around her, like forced chats, unreplied messages gets to me, create a pinch on my ego and in a way emasculates me. It feels like she has moved on but I can't.

Now my question, how do people get over people so easily?

Have you ever met someone and felt like she was the one and it ended?

Has anyone been in my shoes and how did you move on?

The happily ever after I dreamt of has become a night mare.
Pets › Re: I Just Found This Young Bird By The Corner Of My House. How Do I Help It? (pics) by Patented: 7:26pm On Feb 17, 2021
If you can put it back in the nest. Looks like a weaver but I am not sure. U can feed it small seeds till it matures and can fly. That should take another 2 weeks or so max
IWillRiseAgain:
So I just found this young bird by the corner of my house. Obviously, it fell from a nest very high on a tree beside my house.

The mother has been flying around the place but it doesn't look like there's much she can do for the little bird.

Is there anything I can do to help it too apart from climbing up to the nest to put it back there. That's not even an option because the tree is too tall.

Anybody know anything else I can do?

It looks so innocent and has been sleeping all through.

Hope say nobi village people come so? smiley

chocolateme:
please why did you call it a laughing dove? Ok maybe I should let her go.. sad
Pets › Re: Look What I Caught Today In My Chicken Cage. by Patented: 1:16pm On Feb 12, 2021
That is a Laughing dove. I honestly believe that it should be allowed to fly free rather than keep it in a cage. Just my opinion though.

chocolateme:
Very cute, went to feed my birds and saw her or him flying around inside my empty chicken cage where I pack their feed. It wanted to escape but couldn't so I caught it.
Feels good to hold a bird after such a very long time..
I can really really take very good care of it because I have a pet old layer chicken named Bridget, I have a Lhasa Apso called Phoebe and i also train broilers for sale which are like 7 months old now and very heavy, weighing about 4.7kg.

I think I am very qualified to keep this bird but only one thing is tugging my conscience.
Is the bird not meant to be free as they always are?
Will it be happy with me taking her freedom away?
Does it eat well where it was before it met me or will she be happy eating more staying with me?
Most importantly, do you think she has a family like babies she left somewhere to go and find food?.. I will feel sad if I let her go but it feels good to have her as a pet.
Don't know what to do..

Family › Re: What Will You Do In A Marriage Like Mine? by Patented: 2:04pm On Jan 20, 2021
his reacton seems not to be merely about the fact that you said it is your MOm that would come but to other issues ffrom the past. You said you talk a lot and this may be part of the issues as in your talking you may have said some hurtful things. Now that said your man has his issues no doubt , his religious beliefs are not in sync with yours and that comes with friction. those are differences that ought to have ben ironed out before marriage but mayb you can still iron out.

you said things have been alright on and off since you both had a talk, so it seems that you both dont want to walk away. So maybe more talking is necessary and rather than just saying i will domy best to make this work, you should both talk about specific conduct that should stop or that annoys the other and let the other judge frankly the level of progress for each pmerson. this thing we calll marriage is not always smooth how we deal with the difficult times can define us.

remember smooth seas dont make skillful sailors. wish you the best.
Vevejoy:
Plesse forget the errors and focus on the content.

So here's my issue.

I've been married for 6yrs and it's been a blissful journey- of course with minor issues here and there but nothing to worry about until May 5th 2020 when I'd say things turned upside down.

We live abroad and struggled to have kids but God finally blessed us with a beautiful daughter in Sept 2019. Child care being super expensive here, we wanted one of our moms to come help us with the baby when I return to work after my maternity leave. So on the eve of our wedding anniversary which was the 4th of May last year, I asked my husband for the say 10th time about beginning the procedure of bringing a mom over to help since I'll be returning to work. He asked which mom and I said in my exact words; "of course my mom" because I know that when a woman gives birth, her mom usually go to help her. Did that change our story? My God, marriage has been one hell of a thing since that day.

My husband said I am selfish, disrespectful, and want to dominate him. He said things will never be the same again and since then, my marriage has been a stress zone.

My husband is numb to my feelings. He's been ignoring me, I've been a nag I'll admit since tue incident last year. I now talk alot and mostly complain about everything whenever we are together. It's sad and I've actually had conversations with myself to ignore him and stop nagging but I continue to do it, I need help on how to shut up and observe.

I can cry from now to die kingdom come and this man wouldn't be moved. He cannot shift his stance because of me at all. He does whatever he likes and disregard everything I say. E.g before this crisis, we had an appointment to see our Dr to start trying for baby number two because the Dr's advised that since we just had a baby, it's best to try for another soonest given that we had challenges conceiving the first one. This man cancelled the appointment with our Dr and has blatantly refused to start trying for a baby right now. He says when the time comes he'll let me know. Up till now the time has not come despite the fact that delaying may impact our chance of conceiving again. What a life!� � �.

Also, he has decided that no parent will come and I'm back to work already. My poor baby who use to sleep till 9am now suffer in this winter getting up at 6am to be dropped off at daycare all because her father is angry and want to make sure he doesn't do anything that will make his wife smile. He'll rather spend thorns of money paying for daycare even after I've told him that I don't mind his mom coming. Mind u, I have a very good relationship with my inlaws, especially my mom inlaw so it's not an inlaw fight.

The worst of them all is that despite living abroad for 17yrs, this man believes so much in native doctors to the extend that I can't even explain. Infact it's something that I've always fought him about and talked against. I've even complained about it to his family. And guess what, when I talk against, he tells his native drs who of course has ignited the fire in our home. Can you believe that in this chaos this man took me on a vacation in August last year that he wanted to clear his mind so we can start a new chapter and be happy again only to tell me that I have been trying to use a charm on him in the past months thats why things got rough. He said the 3 women I am using appeared to him but he is stronger ����. I am laughing because I felt pity and ashamed for him. How can a grown man be this vulnerable to suitsayers? I have never in my entire life visited a native doctor for myself not to talk of going to take a charmI didn'tvisit the native drs when I was strugglingto have a baby and this man thinks I'llvisit one now to charm him. Wondering y he will even believe such a thing. Infact I don't even know any native doctor. So when he said that, I told him that if I had known that his change of attitude is because of this stupid reason, I would not have fought for my marriage like I did. Of course I got so mad and told him a piece of my mind. I am even ashamed of telling people that despite this man's exposure he consults native Dr's in Africa more than even the people in Africa. Infact if they say yes that's what he listens to. He has even paid a flight from here to Africa because a native Dr told him that his dad who raised him to be the man he is today is trying to kill him and he should come for protection.

I decided to tell his mom about the accusation. His mom told me she scolded at him and warned him never to say such nonsense. Well I just pity him and I'm praying for him. But truth is I regret my marriage to him because of these his believes. I just don't believe in divorce and don't even have the heart to move out I would have done so. Mind u, I am 100% independent so it's not an issue of being scared of surviving alone.

Well one Sunday night as usual I talked to him like crazy and he said "all he wants is for our relationship to work and he will put in his best effort with support from me. I said I want same and will put in my best effort with support from him too*. This happened around september and things have been like normal on and off since then.

I have a few worries which I'd like you to advise me on the way forward.
- My husband is heartless. No matter how I lament, cry, beg, approach him nicely. Infact no matter the manner in which I bring up an issue to him, he doesn't get moved at all. He stays on his stance and doesn't care. How am I suppose to live with a man like this. He goes mute when I try having a conversation with him.

- I have a weakness of talking alot which I acknowledge and I'm doing my best to work on it though I'm yet to change completely. But I can say there's a huge improvement. Infact I'm able to walk away now.

Can a marriage really work out out without a compromise from both parties? I feel like I am compromising alot but this man is doing whatever he likes. In all of these he doesn't cheat but has abused me physically 4times in our 6yrs of marriage which I'm still pained about. The worst abuse right now is emotional abuse and I've told him so several times.

We use to be an exemplary and happy couple up till this may 2020. What will you do in a situation like mine With? With a man like my husband who I'd say lacks empathy and a concience how do I deal with him? His mom said she talked to him but I don't see any difference.

I feel miserable right now in my marriage. Since I got married this is our hardest hit and unfortunately it got prolonged probably bc of his native Dr's who told him I am using a charm on him which he believed.


Help me out please
