self isolation issa bae...but i doubt 90% of nigerians with the virus would rather expose themselves to the public than go into self-isolation.. That's what makes oyinbo to be more human than an average african..

VillaSquares:
Nice

VillaSquares:
You a doc?

MegaPlayBoy:
Because they were white kids, nobody here could insult them or say bad thing

But if they were from Nigeria......

crownedrookie:
Nigeria is number what in top what scammer list?
Nigeria is no further down than number THREE. The only countries that can top us is China and India due to their sheer population. Oh yes and I forgot Russia. Make that four. Best case scenario!


Funny. Sort of makes it seem like someone else is the "society" you're referring to, not Nigerians. Lol

nlPoster:
But why is it only Nigeria with these stereotypes? Why aren't other African countries perceived the same way?

They also have poverty and societal stuff though.

crownedrookie:
I was about to say this is a very intelligent comment although heavily tainted with the usual "What of you nko" Nigerian-style defensiveness when faced with an undeniable proof of shortcoming.
But for your first paragraph to say that means you read the whole post with a defensive and biased mindset.

Again "What of you nko" is the theme of this paragraph. No self reflection, no objectiveness, just subjective defence; "Them nor dey do am too?"

Opeyemiebun:
Hmm, thanks alot....i will take your advice and let only her get for now.
My reasons are numerous, aside the economy Families will believe we have the money stocked up somewhere . We both take care of numerous responsibilities in our extended homes

texazzpete:
This makes zero sense.

The official language in Nigeria is English. Not Igbo, not Yoruba and not Hausa. That is a fact.

Your Germany example is absolutely hilarious. Guess what the official language in Germany is?

tobstarizhia:
I am strongly against pidgin being spoken in school, or anything different from the language that is taught. Like it or not, Nigeria is a multicultural entity, and as such we need a unifying lingua franca to better understand one another. Hence English. It annoys me when I see people speaking the English poorly. middle class citizens mind you, not necessarily the poor. Pidgin or vernacular is a poor man's language, and the sooner we stop representing that in all our media the better. Improving our mother tongue is also commendable. nothing wrong in that. In a class room setting where English is the language that is being taught, any other language should not be tolerated.

LyfeJennings:
& Is there anything wrong in that
The OP is a baby
He isn't mentally ripe for marriage
He needs a counsellor
Someone to guide him thru life
I wonder where his father is

Candiesramah:
It's this your wife that will kill you. It's like once some of you men get married, you trade your sense of reasoning along the way. Just imagine the nonsense you defended. What was wrong in your mum requesting an addition in your wedding guest list? Would that your wife have rejected it if it had come from her mother? She should be happy she got a good mother-in-law willing to make things work out, else, she would have been shown what's like to have issues with mothers-in-law. I don't blame her sha, it's you I blame.

jaxxy:
Why are we Nigerians and Africans like this? In civil climes u plan for a baby, it doesn’t just happen suddenly or by error. U either get married 1st and plan or if ur doing the baby mamas thing u still plan and expect. Accidental pregnancies that disrupt people’s lives shud stop.

I don’t support abortion bt I don’t appreciate disrupting a gals life without making concrete plans. It’s wrong on every level, now u want her to even put her future plans on hold for u without marrying her or having the financial capacity to do necessary preparations for a proper wedding.

It’s unfair and unjust.

kunleweb:
I only know CeeC is badly psychologically damaged and unstable

kunleweb:
Speculations sha. A good woman turns away attention from herself to her kids. Unless a heavy blow hits, divorce should be a last resort. We know this lady even before marriage. The guy can't tame her. Marriage can't. Only God and the devil can tame some women. She's one of them. Trust me. I've turned down lots of relationships when I see that unruly qualities. The kind CeeC has. But towtow aroma and tatse no go gre Peruzzi hear word before that one too gets ruined.

kunleweb:
She had many suitors asking for her hand. If a woman leaves her home for not so tangible reasons then such a woman is unfit for the institution. Simple

victorian:
You asked a question, the same question my late dad asked me when late Princess Diana of England had an accident with her lover in the same car, they were driving in. And at that moment she was about leaving everything behind, her marriage, her sons and her husband the Prince Charles. But because the family of Charles could not bear the shame, people knew the accident who took Princess Diana life with her lover was masterminded. So I told my dad but why did she want a divorce from Prince Charles, they are very powerful family in England and so rich with lots of rules.

My dad said if u were in her shoes and brought up in a low class family, I will behave like her too.

He said but because I Was brought up differently with certain rules and regulations. I know I have to behave at all times. I know I can't go partying anyhow, I know I can't dress anyhow, I know I have to watch my every move publicly because I know the family I come from. I know i have to understand my husband cannot be at home everytime playing love, because he has so many commitments out there to keep the family running. I know I can't just walk away from my marriage just like that. I know I have to consider the kids and what people will say. I know I have to support my husband through thick and thin. Etc. The list is endless


So if were married to Akande. I will stay.

I don't have dreadlocks

I don't party

I don't club.

I like social club, I can attend once in a while.

I don't want to be an actress

I don't like the limelight.

I'm a very private and shy person even though I appear different online.

I believe in family and I believe in increasing the wealth and stability of the family.

I'm not a lady who will get worked up if u don't call me everyday. It's not a must you do.

Im more into expansion of the family's wealth, character and strength, than calling me to say love words everyday. I don't have time for frivolities.

So for someone like me, I will be working by the side in my fashion biz and yes still stay married to him.

kunleweb:
You go like amebo ehn

The reasons are not baseless o.

Yes alot of ladies will pray to be in her shoes but not every lady would want to be in her shoes.
For example : all through last year, suitors were coming but they all. Wanted me to close down my company and be a full time house wife.

Why? They were scared men will keep wooing me even after marriage and it's best to lock me up and not work. Just eat, fucvk, drink and breed babies.

Sighs
I was virtually crying to one old man who's my friend at my office building. I told him why are men like this?

Why should I close up what makes me happy, give me joy and keeps my brain working. And Just stay at home and be watching telemundo day in day out! But why are men this selfish!
Why must I shut down this part of my life, just because I want to marry!

It's not fair! I rather remain single ,keep running my company, meet people everyday than marry and just seat at home and keep getting fatter everyday with kids running around. Why cant I have both!

Guess what the old man said?

blujoi:
I’m in no way supporting the lady and her actions. My point is the elder sis should have not antagonized her younger sis to the point of acting foolishly. Hey there’s a child involved,doesn’t it count for something? Seeing that she has the means to make a difference in their lives. Look at it from that angle

blujoi:
Do you realize they have a child together? It’s so easy to throw blames when it’s not us involved. The family as a whole did not handle the matter well. The elder sister has a duty to call the guy and have a heart to heart talk with him. If the elder sister was thinking right,she should have been concerned in taking that guy off the street because her sister and her child is involved. Actions have consequences

Meliian:
But they're sisters now? You get? Ok let me ask you this, is there any provocation that can lead you to call the police on your sibling? Come to think of it. Didn't the elder sister think about their parents? Now I'm not saying op was right, just saying as much as we're calling out the op, her sister too should be blamed.

And trust me, if op's bf had absconded when he got her pregnant, it's this same sinister elder sister that would remind op everyday that "you see, you gave birth to a bastard". She would have reminded op everyday that her child is a bastard without a moment's hesitation.

The thing about most of us is that, we've not yet fully grasped the concept of unconditional love. Unconditional love looks beyond past mistakes, forgives, and helps the other person grow. It guides them for as long as they need guidance and support. This is what I expect of the sister. If you must reprimand, do it once and move past it, not rip the other person of what's left of their self-confidence.
