Family / Re: Help: My Wife Wants Another Baby by picklighthouse: 2:19pm On Dec 01, 2020 |
TheRealProphet: My guy I understand you perfectly and its not a convenient situation to be in. I have 2 lovely kids too, a boy and a girl. But I want to have one more. And for me any sex will do. Just to spice up our home a bit. This foreign culture of having just a child or maximum of two is strange. I am not saying we should have 7, but I mean three is good. However, I have noticed my wife dragging her feet about it so I am taking it jeje. No be fighting something. These are my suggestions bro: talk to her about your concerns again. Hopefully she would understand. If that fails, I suggest to talk to someone you know she respects. Let the person help you paint the picture to her. After all, is the over all good of the family you want. So get another respectable person to help you. And her reason for wanting another child is not even good enough for me. So what happens if the next one is a girl too? You people will keep trying till the equation balances? 4-4 or 7-7 or even 11-11 ManU - Chelsea. Lastly, you see that vasectomy option that was mentioned could be on the table but please don't go it alone o. Let her know it is an option you are considering. If you would not like your wife doing family planning without your knowledge and consent don't do it to her. The two of you are one now. I wish you good luck chief. |

TheRealProphet: My guy please leave this bitching thing alone. Like you said what your wife wants is another child, simple. See I understand you and its not a convenient situation to be in. I have 2 lovely kids a boy and a girl. But I want another one, for me any sex will do. Just to spice up our home a bit, but I have seen my wife dragging her feet about it. I mean 3 children are not too much nao. This foreign culture of having only 1 or max 2 is strange to me o. So my suggestion is: talk to her about your concerns again. I hope she sees reason with you. If that doesn't work, talk to anyone you know she respects about it. Asking the person to please advice her. Because her reason is not even good enough for me. So what happens if the sex she wants doesn't come? She will keep having more children? Lastly my guy, I will strongly advice against unilaterally going for vasectomy. How would you feel if your wife does family planning without your consent? If all options fail kindly let her know of the last option you have considered. And then you can go ahead. But let her be in the picture atleast. Both of you are one now. I wish you luck chief. 2 Likes |

Emmzy201: My friend, going to school is not a means to an end. It is an end in its self. You go to school to broaden your horizon. You go to school to learn to think critically and analytically. The disciplines of schooling is to make you tick. A good school hopefully teaches you to be a contributor to society, a problem solver and a solution to the myriad societal challenges. As for becoming someone in life, that depends largely on your choices. |

Thegracefulness: What the VP did here is actually commendable. I am sure he wishes he could promote all entrepreneurs and help them grow their business more than he is doing presently. Thankfully there are policies aimed at that already and entrepreneurs and startups are starting to take advantage of them. As for the borders, they don't have to be physically opened for transborder trade for products of this nature to sell. There are online platforms that can get that done easily. What strengthens currency is both internal and external trades. And with larger volumes of trades like these happening, it will translate to a stronger local currency with time. 1 Like |

The problem is that many people don't know what a joke is. This is no joke at all. It is an insult. A mockery of the state of an innocent little girl who happens to be a begged. The fact that it can even be funny to anyone should make any normal person sick to the stomach. Yet she was giggling away, having a nice time. Sad indeed. She should be ashamed of herself and her action. 4 Likes 1 Share |
Romance / Re: I'm Not Attracted To Prostitutes; Is It Just Me? by picklighthouse: 11:27am On Nov 21, 2020 |
AlexBells: "Is It Just Me? I'm Not Attracted To Prostitutes". Guy, you shouldn't be attracted to prostitutes. No body should. It is actually something to be ashamed of and for which real help and counseling be sought. Why have anything to do with prostitutes? It only shows you lack self-control. If you need a company there are a thousand and one things to occupy your time. Read, explore other motivating hobbies, write, attend concerts, classes(anything can be learned online these days), engage in fruitful discussions with friends or acquaintances etc. But by all means don't be idle. Whether you are attracted to prostitutes or not is not really the issue. The issue is what you allow yourself to gradually become by ceding character to such vices. Believe me, once the portal is opened and you enter even you can't tell where it will lead to. 2 Likes |

BafanaBafana: You see we've had these argument too many times. Sadly anybody that raises the point is vilified and castigated. But the issue is till there. Was it right for protesters to be shot at? No. Especially when they were unarmed. But for heavens sake where is the massacre? People doesn't seems to know what a massacre is. Maybe they need to look it up in the dictionary. 70 people killed, 30 people dead, Lekki massacre, whatever happened to the bodies? Don't they have families that could come forward? Nigerians should be wiser than this. Don't let these media houses set your country on fire for nothing. 1 Like 1 Share |

FanOfMyself: Why not concentrate on the real issue here rather than condescending to trivialities. Everything isn't about tribalism or ethnicity. The man is trying to take advantage of a NIGERIAN, whether Efik or Ibibio it doesn't matter. He should be prosecuted to serve as deterrent to others. That's the point we should be making please. 1 Like |

derrick015: It is not about the kind of prayer you should pray or Bible verse to read. Scripture says walk in the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Walking in the Spirit does not mean floating in the air. It means be spirit guided. When the Holy Spirit guides you he helps you. Realising there can't be vacuum, He helps you to by renewing your mind by the word. Read the word. It is alive, it delivers, it saves. From pornography, unforgiveness, drunkenness, malice and other unrighteous. Also, you consciously have to stay away from anything that has any form or porn or sex in it. Videos, suggestive songs, photos etc. You can't want deliverance and be around any of those. And listen, you can't have girl friend. I don't mean female friends. I mean anyone in particular that you call "my girl friend". Abstain from all appearance of evil. Don't tempt yourself. Now, all I have told you may not happen in a day, but as you yield to the Lord your deliverance will be evident daily. Keep confessing your liberty through Christ's death for you. And stand on the truth that you have been been delivered by his blood. NB. All these can only work if you have given your life to Christ. Liberty is only guaranteed for those in Christ not someone strolling by. Only as many as believe in him, (saved) are those given the power to be children of God. They are the only free people. God's speed bro. |
Romance / Re: A Verbally Abusive Guy I Just Met by picklighthouse: 8:42am On Oct 22, 2020 |
ladywealth: Let me advice you straight up. Don't start what you can't finish. You can see he is abusive now when you are just friends. If you date him and eventually marry that kind of guy, you will live in pains of abuse all your life. I can sew you are at least wise enough not to go to his house. If he rapes you or harms you the question people here would ask you is, what took you there in the first place? You are still young and have your whole life ahead of you. You will still see a more reasonable, caring and loving guy in the future so relax. Don't mind those telling you to go ahead with that kind of relationship. They wouldn't do it themselves. |
Politics / Re: End The Protest Now - Segalinks, The Coverner Of #EndSARS, Warns Youths by picklighthouse: 8:55am On Oct 14, 2020 |
CilicMarin: Exactly my point. What did you ask for that government has not done or atleast initiated? When we overdo things we loose the essence altogether. Thinking we can go the Hongkong way by engaging in endless protests will only harm us and our economy. Covid has dealt our economy a bad blow already and we must bleed what's left by further lacerating it. Block MM international airport, block the busiest route in the country ( Lagos-Ibadan express way), hold policemen hostage in their national head quarters, et al. The wise knows when to fight and when to refrain. 5 Likes |
Politics / Re: Ondo Governorship Election 2020: Results From Polling Units by picklighthouse: 5:04pm On Oct 10, 2020 |
Stevecreativex: Personally, I don't think APC or Akeredolu needs to rig Ondo election to win it. I foresee an easy victory for APC there. Ondo is different form Edo. We all knew what happened to Obasaki and how he eventually became the PDP candidate in that election. Many of those that voted for him did so because they wanted him not just PDP. And all he needed was a platform to actualise his ambition. I dear say even some APC governors also wanted him to win under the PDP against their own party comrade. Politics is what it is. Unique and peculiar in every way. I would be shocked if Akeredolu loses. 6 Likes |

Education / Re: 4-Year-Old Girl Destroys School Properties. Teacher Reacts Calmly (Video) by picklighthouse: 7:40pm On Aug 26, 2020 |
Train up a child in the way he/she should go and when they are old they will not depart from it. The West and Europe always believe they know the best way to train and handle children, but they have unwittingly made gods out of them. You cannot beat them, you cannot raise your voice at them, you have to discuss with them and give reasons for whatever you are asking them to do. Sad. No wonder the children doesn't respect them when they grow up. And jejely pack them to old peoples home when they are old. God bless Africa in this regard. When you are doing something and your mother or father starts looking at you in a weird way in Africa, you better stop it or better still, run away in a hurry. Or else...This video is nauseating.

Travel / Re: Share Your Worst Or Funny Travel Experience by picklighthouse: 2:50pm On Aug 26, 2020 |
I was travelling from Ilorin to Kano, but for whatever reason quite unlike me I suddenly became so pressed I felt if the driver doesn't pull over I would relieve myself right there in the car. I told the driver I needed 'help' but the stubborn man insisted on stopping at the garage where people eat. Before that day I never knew I had that level of self control and patience. What didn't I do? I was praying, pep talking myself to be a man and not disgrace myself. As soon as the stubborn man stopped the car, to even walk over to the toilet became art because I could poo on myself if I walked too fast. And at the same time walking too slowly was also dangerous. Anyway, that was how God saved me o. That day ehn, hmm. 40 Likes 2 Shares |
Romance / Re: I Have A Boyfriend But I'm Sexually Attracted To Someone Else. by picklighthouse: 10:37am On Aug 26, 2020 |
You are going out with one but sexually atracted to another. Make up your mind you are not a kid. What do you want in a relationship? Why are you in one now? For friendship or for sex? It is important you resolve these salient issues now because whichever way it goes there are consequences. If you marry someone you are not sexually attracted to, problem. And if you marry someone that the only real attraction is sex, problem still. Because believe me, there is more to marriage than sex. So what do you want? If you want my opinion however I would tell you to give your virginity to the one you love after marriage. Any guy that truly loves you would wait till then. 5 Likes |

The warning is apt. I hope people would take caution. The grass is not always greener on the other side. But I disagree with the statement suggesting that we at home are more at risk than people out there. It is not true. There is insecurity everywhere. People choose the one they can live with. 4 Likes |
