Step mum without giving a second thought.

Since he didn't mind getting soaked he should have just given the umbrella to the child.

If you treat her like a dog


She'll act like one.

A man killed his four kids?!

WTH?!

It seems a human He-goat raped and impregnated the goat

Budget is one thing, enjoying your trip is another. I read through some reviews about Iberia and I wasn't encouraged to fly with them.

1. Language barrier is a problem with regards to customer service.

2. One of the reviews highlighted the need to take ur own food e.g sandwich, just incase you are not pleased with what you are offered.

3. Small seat is another headache so you can imagine being uncomfortable throughout the duration of your flight.

I haven't flown with them before but I understand that there are levels when it comes flights...[b]virgin&BA all the wayyyyy

When i want comfort i go for Lufthansa or Air France, Arik is good too.

It's not bad if you're on a budget.

Hope she's not pimping her girl

See suffering, she must have been bullied into a change of mind.

Good decision from the Judge.

Fellow Nairalanders.

I am in a terrible state concerning my mom's action of late.

To give you a brief intro into where I am coming from, my mom is a widow and she tried her best to cater for us when we were kids even though she couldn't train us to university level but she tried to lift us to secondary level.

I came to Lagos after my secondary education and as God would have it, with lots of huzzle I was able to complete my university and now gainfully employed.

Ever since God blessed me with a job, I have been paying my mom salary that will help to cater for her and provide everything she need as God will help me, have had my other siblings complain about my mom over the years but I always over looked it, thinking they are being too hard.

Now growing up, my mom was a good woman and all giving mother so I still remember all that.

But what dragged me into writing this piece is that, this year we usually have an annual church program in lagos that attract worshipers from across the country and my mom doesn't miss that camp for nothing.

When she came, I shopped for all her needs and also gave her money she will use through out, but the first shocker I got was when I saw my mom's house girl in the church, the first sunday of camp, she looked so un-kept and retared, I look at her shoe and she had slippers that has hoes underneath, I almost fainted, I knew my mom to be a lovely person who usually take care of people's children, what will then make her not buy shoe for her house girl.

I went out of church service with shame that day and took the girl to the hostel where she was lodging with my mom, I dress simple and was about to make my way out when my mom returns, asking where I am taking the house girl too, I told her I want to buy her shoe that I am not happy with the shoe she is wearing, she started saying I should not that she will buy her shoe later, she talked and convince me that she will buy shoe for the girl, I gave her money instead and a week later I did not still find any shoe with the girl until I moved out to buy the shoe myself.

The next time, I had brought some of my old hats for one of my aunty (even though the aunty doesn't deserve a gift from me) but she has begged me for it and I promise I was going to give her, the next thing my mom was so angry that I gave her the that, saying why should I give her all that hat, I told her I don't need them that I have new ones and may never need any of those again, I started to suspect her actions but I was still calm.

The third incidence, I notice she was not calm and loving as usual, she was screaming ontop of her voice with the house girl, I know this house girls are funny but my mom was able to deal with us when we were kids in better manner than the outburst and screams, I felt terrified each time I was with her because I was frequently hearing screams even though I do advise her to take things easy with the girl that kids do make mistakes and only needs to be talked to calmly but she will not hear, she kept on screaming so I left her.

The last incidence that made me feel like my mom have changed totally was when the program was about to end, I had this deal that suddenly came up, it was a very good deal that will make my future brighter, my boss discussed it in the office and I thought of joining hands to do it with my colleagues, so I emptied my account for the deal and it was all good, I explained to my mom what deal I have done and that I will not have enough money to give her to go back but that I will send money to her 4 days after she has arrived village, as I was expecting salary in 4 days time, I just gave her 10k to manage till I sent her money 4 days later.

Immediately my mom heard that I said no money, she started getting angry with all of us, complaining of everything, beating my nephew that was with us at intervals, shouting and screaming at nothing really, when I got outside my sister told me she was just saying all sort of things I am even ashame to disclose, but my fear now is, she has not always been like this when I was a child, she was a loving mother, what would have made her change suddenly to this type of woman I do cannot understand anymore.

The average Nigerian babe cant wait to get married due to family, societal and peer pressures ( my friends are getting married). Even on thier wedding day the the joy is so evident on thier faces. But many women are unhappy and being used in the so called marriages. they take care of the House,kids while combining it with thier work/business. while the husband enjoys the whole service, in some cases still chasing fresh babes outside, some drop money for thier wife upkeep while some dont even drop expecting d wife to use her money. due to societal and parental pressures too some guys jst con a girl to marry to be seen as responsible while still living thier normal single lives but the lady gives up her life lol. there are lots of them like dat in my office, u see dem tired, worn out and depressed. but if this fair

Happiness is a choice, why let another individual kill your joy.

Unique but there's something spooky about twins

lol Google Bamidele Onibalusi

he's a blogger and so?

How do people manage more than two

In my opinion this is an attachment problem. The boy may be overly attached to his mum. She should adjust her parenting style and be more firm with her son.

Hello, they said the Hausa man admitted it was fake.

You don't think the victim could have changed those notes to fake ones overnight?

But if the bank was in on this the Hausa man would have taken him to a fake office, or he would have closed shop and scrammed until all returns to normal. Hope the victim isn't the scam artist here, it's hard to believe someone will collect 30,000usd without proper on the spot verification of notes.

The starting point is: what skill do these guys have? If you have no skill you will be earning peanuts!

But if you have real skills, employers will come with thousands of dollars begging you to do their work. I made $50,000 from a Latvian company on Elance in 2013 alone. That company alone paid my rent that year and a jeep I bought.

You have to be on top of the food chain. All this talk about profile building without skills is a waste of time.

I even give 10k, 20k jobs to students because I am too busy now and work with few high paying companies now. There is even a php developer I know based in Lagos who has done more than 700 jobs on freelancer. When u reach that stage jobs will be chasing you, not you chasing $2 per 500 words peanut butter change.

Believe me, am not hating @ all, why should I? But going by your unverified earnings there's a contradiction. You said you earned 50,000 USD in 2013 alone, yet your total unverified earnings show a 38,232usd balance, where is 50,000usd made in 2013 alone? Pls post a link to your profile, thanks.

Like I said before freelancing is not a get rich quick platform, there's work involved, expenses(fuel & data), expertise needed, wisdom to avoid scammers and time required. With experience it will get better and easier. Take note, clients are not fools you will surely work for every dollar you earn.

Pmb killing dreams and ambition of Nigerian youths.

Pragidso, Thanks, Is all about what one gives, not about what one has. Helping others (freelancer), that's the AIM of this thread.

They do, if you present yourself well... and they will come back for more if your service is satisfactory. I have clients from different countries coz of my discipline... Even in a work that require "native speakers only", I still get picked. It's so real and such a gold mine will only respond to those who have faith and are ready to take actions.

I have faith. Which one is present yourself well? Please elaborate, I sincerely want to learn.

Acquire a skill that you can sell on that site. That was my secret. When you are that good, no one will want to know your country of origin. Skills speak!

Please post list of skills in demand
