Safety has less regard.

eyinola:
new year is even a general holiday

Since it came up as a result of the calendar introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII, let accept it is linked to Christians

The lecturer is still living out his childhood fantasies.

Hmm....While some mothers I know went for omugwo in the US and yet to return after so many years!

Dancing is therapeutic

highbee02:
I stand with MURIC, MURIC is comparing the Gregorian calender with Islamic calendar. We truly deserve equal treatment, ist of Muharam should also be declared public holiday.

For the Christians.

New Year day (the calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII)
Good Friday
Easter Monday
Christmas day
Boxing Day.

Total of 5 days

For the Muslims

Eid al-Fitr (How many days do the FG announce as Public holiday?)
Eid al-Adha (How many days do the FG announce as Public holiday?)
The Prophet's birthday(How many days do the FG announce as Public holiday?)

So many contradictions

And if you need your wife to suppress herself in any way just to make you feel like you're the head, you sef know you aren't even qualified so how can you expect her to think so?

This gives an insight.

Nonsense and ingredient questions. Money changes situations. Just drop your Range Rover or Bentley key on the sitting room table and you'll be the one questioning her father.

In fact, he'll be giving you answers without you asking any question.

Even in this era of materialism over character and good name, not all families will get carried away by your Range Rover.

Looking fit, living a sedentary lifestyle is detrimental to one's health.

Abia

Glad I took you home. Never knew you are Nigerian sef.

From Imo. Truth be told, profiles of a man's siblings really count in the scoring during the "assessment"

pocohantas:
Nice thread OP. Let me add,

How many are you in your family?

If he is the FIRST SON from a family of 10 and the last 3 are still in school. They will assume their daughter has 3 children before she even born one. The inlaws will most likely see her as a competition or stumbling block. It is not easy being married to the pillar of a home.

Your siblings?

Igbo fathers be like "Umunne gi kwanu?"
He doesn't just want to hear "ahu di ha mma", he wants to hear their profile too.

"Oh, my elder brother is a doctor in the US. My younger sister works with FIRS. The one after her is an engineer in Shell"...IMPRESSIVE!

Your daughter has chances of going to the abroad to give birth. Also, when everybody in a family is doing well, phone dey ring, family dey call, you no go dey fear to pick am. Christmas in the villa would be like getaway. Not umu Remigius mere nka, ha me nka. Ana akoheri.

Where do you base?
Naija parents don't like their daughters going too far, especially Igbos. They want where they can easily come for omugwo. This far distance doesn't include abroad o. Abroad is not far at all.

It will also help them know where their daughter has been going all the while she didn't return home for ASUU strike.

---

If you wan see where Naija alpha male humble, take him to your father. E go ask you mumu question for doormot. Should I remove my slippers? You'll be like "baby just enter!!!"

"Not umu Remigius mere nka, ha me nka"....You are certainly from either Imo or Abia as you just took me back home......De Hyginus kwuru si.....

I hav neva heard a female paedophile got arrested in nigeria. This is unfair. What is good 4 d goose is also good 4 d gander

A girl is likely to report being sexually abused but boys are less likely to.

Another episode of tales by moonlight by Auntie Nkem!

The guy is really boiling!

Trump effect.

Litigant:
All bank staffs need to go for serious training. The way they are actively involved in bank robbery is alarming . Or maybe they need an increase in their salary so that their greed can reduce

No amount paid a criminal minded staff is ever enough.

Insider information is what bank robbers work on.

Men need to lead the conversation as we can not continue to live in denial that it is not happening.

Sometimes I wonder men who laugh over their sexual abuse as minors and claim they enjoyed it and even say they are presently willing to be "raped" by a woman, if they are not using disassociation as a coping mechanism to deal with the trauma of being violated and being macho about it.

So the 1,700ksh is the "groom price".

"The court went further to hold that the state houses of assembly in Nigeria lacked the power to fix any amount in remuneration to its past governors and deputy governors as “pension or gratuity unless the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission first of all determined an amount as pension and gratuity to past governors and deputy governors in which case such amount, so fixed, shall not exceed the amount as have been determined by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission.” .......Good development.

As your life dey miserable you like am?

Don't assume that as yours is, so is mine.

victorian:
She was legally married.

They did white wedding and traditional.

But it's unfortunate the in-laws were wolves

She has rights to the property. Let her consult a lawyer.

victorian:
Don't take it lightly.
If both parties say she's not your wife? Then please be patient, cut off from her and pray God makes the path of you and your real wife to meet and marry.

Although I don't believe in destined wife or destined husband. I believe in if I marry this man, are we growing old together? Would our marriage last forever? Will he stand by me till we grow old and die? And are we going to be fruitful,as in be able to have children together?
These are things I pray and seek answers for.

Lemme give u a short true life story.
There was a guy a banker last 6years ago, who wanted to marry me. We were best of friends. He supports me in everything and we love each other. Within 6months, he proposed.. I was so happy!
He wanted to see my mom, my dad was late then.
Quickly I told my mom, my mom said Vicky u guys cannot marry.
I cried and said mom but why. She said he's not your husband. You can't marry him.
I told him, he came to see my mom, he pleaded and all, but mom said sorry you can't marry my daughter, and that's the end.

I know my mom, she's spiritual. And for her to say no, means no.

We stopped dating, I cut off from him, then in few months he called me to his office and introduce me to a lady who looks like me. He said that's his wife, as I don't want him. He truly loves me, he has to look for someone similar to my looks. I and the babe greeted each other, I said no problem, he can go ahead and marry her. They got married
After two years my mom died. Then after 4 years I remembered him, I said lemme check on my friend and how they are doing

His wife picked his call ,I Introduce myself and guess what she said.

She said he's dead!

I was like what? Dead how? Where are u staying? Lemme come. See u. She said she's squatting with her friend and it's better we talk on phone. Her husband family threw her out of their matrimonial home .

She was crying on the phone and she explained how they got married. He was promoted immediately they got married, he became very rich! He completed his first house in ikorodu, then was about rounding up his duplex home in Lekki, when he was attacked with stroke.

She battled with his illness for one year with his family members , before he gave up.

His family quickly accused her and said she killed him. She wants to inherit his properties. That's how they threw her out with her kid.
She really suffered
She vowed she will never evermarry again.

Very beautiful lady, up till today she still insist in-laws and people are wicked. She will never marry and men are always wooing her on facebook. But she says no.


I then realise why mom said no , we cannot marry


So Op, it's possible she may not live long. But they won't tell you. Or maybe if u guys marry, u won't be as successful as u are meant to be. It's either of the two.

So please pray about it and let God also reveal to you. Marriage is no child's play

Was the woman not legally married to the man?As long as those houses are in Lagos, no in-law has right over them. Didn't she get a lawyer involved?

Careless use of firearm.

Just as He has given us the capacity for rational thinking in the face of prevailing security situation in Nigeria.

This is a faceless forum, hope you don't end up in the wrong place in terms of ritual killing or kidnapping as it not safe to go live with strangers.

Insightful.

I thought it was on Sundays

No it was on Thursdays as Fortunes, Behind the clouds etc were on Sundays.

Naija has finally turned to a place of joke.

What joke?

What did I just read!

Well deserved. Back in those days of Checkmate when it was being aired Thursdays 8.00p.m on NTA, the streets were always empty.

It is good she has paid back the N600k and N150k from the accrued interest of N480k, she has to approach the lender to negotiate into giving her more time as she has shown good faith by paying N750k so far, na only death no get remedy. If the Police gets involved they will tell the lender to give your friend more time to pay up the balance.
