I am adult married to a lady of 35years. We have been married since 2007. God has blessed us with 3 wonderful children( 2 boys and 1 girl). Before we got married, i agreed with my wife that i only want to have 2 kids ( I wouldnt mind if they just boys or girls. That means, Im not particular of the sex of the kids). My wife is a B.sc Accounting graduate, while myself, I am a Chartered Accountant, with a well paid job. My wife had a 3rd class degree. On several occassions, i have told her to go back to school for Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) in order to upgrade, but she plainly told me that she cannot go back to school again. When i asked her why, she told me that her brain cannot withstand any academic stree again. I also suggested to her, since you studied accounting in the university, why not enroll for ICAN program? When i said that to her, she told me that she could not go for PGD, is it ICAN that she can do? I have been thinking, what will i do for her to be like others.

Luckly, was transferred to Benin. I went with my family to Benin. We stayed over 4years in Benin. While we were in Benin, I told my wife to go and enroll for a 6months diploma programm in computer (because she is not computer literate). I paid over N110,000 for the 6months programme. My wife only went for the programme for 1month and stopped. She refused to complete the program. When I asked her, she told me that she will go back after she had "put to bed"( Then she was pregnant). Guys, its over two years now and the baby is even in pre-nursery school, yet my wife has not reminded me of going back to complete the programme.

Last year, she asked me to open a store for her, that she want to go into trading. When I asked her the nature of the business, she said, she wants to deal on selling rice, beans, yams, groundnut oil, etc. I now suggested that it will not be a problem, but she has to look for somebody who is already in the business so as to understudy the person for atleast 1month. She refused, saying that without her understudying anybody, that she can still make it. I told her that my reason of suggesting to her to understudy somebody was that, i wanted her to be selling in wholesale. My plan was to give like N1.5million. I told her, i cannot just release N1.5million to her for a business that she did not learn. I told her that N1.5million is not a small money. Brethren, that was why up til now, i have not opened the business for her.

My children's school fees is over N650,00 per term for the 3 kids. I provide for feeding. My wife does not want to do anything as to assist me in the family. I give her money for her hair, cream, bathing soap, panties and clothing. Im really getting tired. My salary does not carry the family again because of too much expenses.

Another problem now is, my wife's dressing is nothing to write home about. She dresses as if she is in her late 60s. I have complained to her on several occasion that i dont like the way she dresses, but each time i bring up the issue, she will get angry. People around, have meeting my sisters to tell them that my wife does not dress well as somebody that has gone to the university. Even in my house, my wife only tires wrapper. Nothing in her again attracts me to her. Infact, for the past 3 months, i have not slept with her. I sleep in the parlour while she sleeps in the bed room.

Else, i forget, my wife delibrately "took in" again since July last year. This is after we agreed that the 3 kids that we already have is enough. Her method is, each time i remind her of what to do as to be assisting me in the family, she will delibrately "take in".

My wife, went to the university but she cannot speak simple and correct english. She cannot write application letter. She cannot teach my kids who are in primary 2 and 5 respectively. I pay a lesson teacher N30,000 monthly for my kids but my wife is at home doing nothing. Since we got married, my wife has not sent me text message on her phone more than 3times. The ones that she sent, my brothers, there are lots of gramatical blunders. When i confronted her with the text message, she could not say anything. I was checking for some documents in my room last week, and i came across an application that my wife wrote to submit to a private school where she wants to teach. When i saw the letter, believe me, my brothers, one of my kids that is in primary 5 cannot write such rubbish.

What i thought she was before i married her, is not what she is. I cannot take her out for an occassion because she may embarrase me by her conduct in the public. I need a divorce but the problem now is, i did i court wedding with her. What should i do? Im confused.

Sir first of all don't forget your vows were for better or worse. This is your worse and whatever happens God will hold you accountable in the end. If you divorce her, your kids will be affected psychological y and there is nothing you will be able to do about it, they will hate you for it and you will not even know.
To the issue of your wife, she needs to take responsibility more for her life. Like someone suggested buy her sexy outfits and absolutely insist she wears only them in the house. Make education fun for her, like a child look for things that get her attention and use it to teach her how fun learning is. Divorce should never be an option. Make a new strategy and move on from there, it means the one you are using is not working. and don't forget to do it in love.

JOS - Eight people were killed and around 100 needed hospital treatment after inhaling chlorine gas following an explosion at a water treatment plant in Jos, a city in central Nigeria, the state government said on Saturday.

A chlorine cylinder exploded at the Lamingo Water Board treatment plant around 4am on Saturday, Plateau state spokesman Samuel Nanle said.

"Eight people have been confirmed dead as a result of the inhalation of the contaminated air," he said, adding that 101 people had received hospital treatment for chlorine inhalation.

"The contamination has been contained and does not affect the water which has been supplied to public mains," said Nanle.

Hello everyone. Despite the sad news that has trailed Jos for years, its not all sobs, war and death. There is the good part though overshadowed by insurgency and ethno-religious crisis that the world should know of. Somewhere North of the Tin-city, the University of Jos has undisputably (subject to be countered) the best library facility in Nigeria, enjoy the photo's.

Hello,

There is a girl whom I want to take as a second wife. One day my wife saw my conversation with the girl on whatsapp when I went out and left the phone in the living room unlocked.

Mehn! My wife just called the lady and blasted her even threatining her, with things like: she will realise her mistake, she will never see person who will marry her in life and lots more.

My fiancee called me and narrated it to me telling me that she can no longer tolerate this that it is better to call off the relationship. I calmed her that she shouldnt be bothered if she really loves me. she should stand by my side and realise our dream of getting married.

Please your matured candid advice is needed on how to handle this because two head is better than one.

This matter is not hard. Let your wife date another guy while still married to you, make him her fiance and marry him into your house then you and your fiancee can complian to high heavens. My point, don't do to another human what you can't take in the name of religion or whatsover. If you are fed up, hand her a divorce and let her move on else you have killed her emotionally for life.

Hopez456:
Info on direction to the camp would be appreciated.

here's direction to the camp at Mangu. Take a luxirious bus to Jos from your respective state.(For peeps in Lagos, Bonnyway in Ijora is advised. First bus especially) when in Jos, tell the driver that you will drop at Old airport junction(happens to be a major stop anyway) cross to your right, you will see buses loading Mangu(be safe,let an NURTW worker load you in) tell the driver NYSC camp, its obvious sef once you get to Mangu LGA. The camp is new and facilities intact so no need to worry. A lot are expressing concern about security, can't blame them. I have lived in Jos all my life and I know what's happened was highly exergerated. Be careful and pray like in every other state and God will keep you. Emmm what again. Food is cheap, you will be surprised. Learn a little hausa once you get to Jos and be friendly, you'll do just fine. While in Mangu you may want to visit Kerang Springs where Swan water is produced from, it is a natural waterfall. Also there is a volcanic crater lake and volcanic mountains, don't go alone sha and again Pray. Anymore info about Jos, just post your questions.

;DWOW! Baba Ras..l is working. Proudly jossite!

thank u sir,,, im a jambite,, i want to do mass comm at unibadan...can u giv me some tips abt the course,

hello Vickers, first of all you have to work on passing Jamb with good grades then you have to start working on yourself. Read any thing you come across, make it a challenge to learn a new word everyday, devour newspapers and practice writing news stories from them. If you intend to go into broadcast, practice your intonation, pronounciation and pitch and have a friend access you. Its very competitive out there, you will have coursemates who are already practicing so in other to be the best you have to bring yourself to speed. Watch good tv like BBC, channels etc, listen to radio too. Find a mentor, understudy the person and strive to be better than the person. Finally when you get to school and you have opportunity to lead group works, don't hesitate its exposure especially for leadership, intern at your school fm, write to newspapers and you are on your way to a starling career. Goodluck!

Hello NLanders. I am a practicing journalist who is also studying mass communication at an advanced level. I know there are many here intersted in studying the course, practicing or just curious. You can ask me any question on journalism and I will give a detailed response.

O Anna! I'm so happy for you. She was my senior is Secondry school, our dinning hall prefect. All hail the FGGC!

From late 1979- 1980, he did his National Youth Service with the Bendel Development and Planning Authority (BDPA) as a legal officer. In 1981, he commenced academic work as a lecturer at the University of Lagos and occupied the position until 1988, when he was appointed as Special Adviser to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (legal advice and litigation) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Prince Bola Ajibola from 1988 to 1991.[5][6] He was an adviser to the Attorney-General of the Federation until 1992, when he went back to lecturing.

Political careerEdit
After the formation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2013, Yemi was tasked, with other notable Nigerians, to design and produce a manifesto for the new political party. This culminated in the presentation of the Roadmap to a New Nigeria in March 2014. The highlights of the Roadmap included a free schools meal plan, a conditional cash transfer to the 25 million poorest Nigerians if they enroll children in school and immunize them. There were also a number of programs designed to create economic opportunities for Nigeria's massive youth population.[12]

On 17 December 2014, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Retired General Muhammadu Buhari announced him as his running mate and vice-presidential candidate during the 2015 General Elections.[13][14][15][16]

Am 22 years old. I 'ave dated three girls, they all left me because I told them I would never have sex before marriage.. the first girl accused me of impotency.. the second girl was blunt she told me she can't cope.. the third one left without a comment ..

I need a girl Buh don't wanna have sex. please I need your advice

I know you feel pressure to give in but I encourage you not to. I have been in your shoes although I'm a girl but I'm encouraged in my moral convictions and fear of God. Don't make your life a fertile ground for sin. Once you start, your life start spiraling and the holy spirit can't even function because you are always thinking impure thoughts. Ignore all this urging online comments, the wish they had their purity back. In the end, its worth the wait.

:DI will be going away on a long overdue trip to lagos and then the beautiful island of Bora Bora. How about you?

The number of girls commenting and hating is interesting, I have deduced meaning. Seun, nairaland babes care. Ehen Purity1, I rebuke your Mouth IJN and I forgive you and other haters for calling me hopeless.

With all our French graduates I thought the point of this thread was simple, a harmless joke! I'm sorry if anyone felt insulted or got a ban.

Ma hear happy weekend!
