Beg borrow steal and swallow your pride, or be killed and die and become worm food!

Those are your two options.
The begging I did on Nland during my pregnancy days had subject me to ridicule on Nland that any thread or post I make is now seen as a measure of begging,

Borrowing can be done only if I've worked for two weeks in a month and that's my one month salary - school rules

Stealing- this have never been and would never be my portion, moreso who I wan steal from in this Buhari era?

I'm pained

Ask your family for help.


You and your baby daddy will not use nairalanders for money.

Go take salary advance from your employer or sell anything of value.


Going by all your comments, you don't want to leave, you just want people to send you money. Keep planning, you think in situations like this you need a plan? You run, go to a safe place and plan.
This is not practicable when children are involved.

I won't and can't be the one to guarantee her a "perfect, single life". She has to do that herself. If I understand your deduction perfectly, are you implying her happiness is hinged to a man or that she doesn't stand a chance of getting married to a "perfect man" (whatever this means)?

Firstly, there is no such thing as a perfect man. We all have our demons, though some subtle than others. She is only 27 and has just 2 kids, obviously educated, which means she has a very good chance of finding love in the right person.

Secondly, what we think gives us happiness is nothing but illusion. Happiness is what we call anything we are contented with. If she decides to find that in her kids, then she's game. If she seeks that in a man, she will only need to position herself.

Exiting in most situations is always the first step in the right direction. How you create and find your happiness lies with you.

She is still young even though she has two kids. Na born she born, she no kill person.

In the case of Jonathan, existing was the first step but most of the country made a terrible choice. Making a terrible choice after exiting is the disaster and not leaving. Peace of mind is expensive and must be protected at all cost.
You make sense.

Lol,@Op remember me on the other thread. grin

When I was telling you that women shouldn't take BS from men you stood with husband of the OP and said even in the face of nonsense the OP should keep being submissive to her hubby.

Let me pass the same advice that you gave her BE SUBMISSIVE don't worry keep fasting and praying all wil be fine grin

I don't like mocking people...
Really! Pocohantas said the same thing but I thought she might be mistaken!

pocohantas:
I’ll give you the same advice you always give women here, BE SUBMISSIVE and you will enjoy your man and marriage.

Or give you a feminist advice- LEAVE THAT UNION or whatever arrangement it is you guys have going on.
Lizzyangel, you married a red pill, and in your case add 'killed' at the end. It might help you understand how seriously dire your situation is and make you stop giving excuses, especially if you consider it might not be you who dies!

Were you reading my mind?
I don't want to be harsh but
I remember when she got pregnant for her second child, she came to naira land to beg, one lady asked her why she got pregnant again when she can barely feed. Lizzy opened her mouth to say Any woman that has one child is no different from a barren woman.
Nairalanders pitied her, contributed money for baby things and hospital things.
After some months, her husband opened a thread again and was begging for money.
He claimed his wife was in the hospital and no money to pay for hospital bills and hospital materials.
People pitied him and sent money to him.
Do you know that the husband had the guts to come back again to beg for money to feed his baby. He said his bike was stolen in his house and that was his only source of income.
Lizzy and her husband fit each other.
When she is ready to leave, she will leave but for now, she is only looking for excuses to beg for money.
I won't be surprised if she and her husband planned this.

It is good to be rude . Now sit down and read what you have written, don’t you see how hopeless you sound ? How totally hopeless you are!

You don’t think outside of the box .
Ginaz, this vitriol is totally unnecessary!! It is easy to pontificate when we are not wearing the shoes. I am sure that she has made up her mind on the next step but she is hampered by funds. She created this thread yesterday, less than 24hours. In the real world, you just don't pick small children and vamoose into the wind without a dime in your pocket. That shit only happens in movies. You plan and strategize so that you don't end up worse off than when you started.

Seriously! So he made his wife ill and they both came to NL to be begging us for money.

Whoever said Karma is a bitch did not know what they were talking about because karma is both a bitch and a pig!

Good luck lizzyangel.

FOLYKAZE:
I am very happy to inform the forum that my wife and little princess have been discharged and arrived home safely yesterday. My joy has no boundary seeing these two people in my home. All thanks to you all for saving the lives of the most precious souls to me, and securing their return back home.

This is my sincere appreciation to all those who out of their little resource still sent me a token when I pleaded for help here. All your contributions are all appreciated. It may not have been big but indeed, it helped in providing for the health care of my wife, and safe delivery of my darling angel. Thanks to all those who called and offer prayers, hope and motivational push. Every inputs met alot to us.

Right from when it started on 21st June, it gulped every penny I had saved and I almost lost all hopes. But you guys supported me without knowing me personally, not considering if I'm your family member or friend, despite the difficulties in the nation economy, you clad with fabric of secret, rescued me from been put to shame, saved me from the huge storm which could have swept us away. I cannot say it all

On behalf of myself, Ifeoluwakiishi, and Lizzyangel, I want to say a big THANK you.
Re: Confused! by Mstick: 1:08pm On Jul 02, 2021
Actually ishi it's the most practical, because some men are vindictive and they would not want you to take the kids even if they know they would not be able to take care of them.


Ask survivors of DV, the more you plan the more you see reasons to stay.

Thanks so much for your contribution, it's highly noted.

Emi ni mo tona woro.
don't mind her..leave that man if u you don't know where to go, go to your parent house for now..that's the best thing u can do, forget what people will say..u are not married t that man he is just your bf because he has not paid your dowry.
Stand for yourself, be strong for your kids, u are just 27 o u can still rebuild your future,stop using the kids as an excuse, if anything happened, the kids will blame you..wise up sis leave that man if u want the best for your future nd treat yourself.
Stop being weak be strong for yourself..if I share what v bn tru lasan but I choose to be strong and happy!
Re: Confused! by pocohantas(f): 1:28pm On Jul 02, 2021
Abeg take it easy on Lizzy. I believe when her mind is made up, she would do the needed. Maybe learn a way to manage her man or leave. Only a woman knows when she has had enough.

I wish you strength, Lizzy.

The same man and home you want to keep, when you die lizzyangel , someone will enter and continue from there since you don’t value your life at all.

The kids you are thinking of today, when you die in sorrow and tears , will be same kids that will have you only as a memory and wished to God you were alive so you could’ve eaten the fruits of your labor.

you are acting like there is no way to get out from that toxic union . Excuses upon excuses .

There are women who had absolutely nothing on them when they left their marriage . They started from rock bottom again.

Suffer never entire you, Bath in your self pity and hopelessness.
E.g iya ojo, toyin lawani, mercy aigbe, toke makinwa, tonto, nkechi blessing ... burnt people looking for signups
You can't give what you don"t have, therefore i don't blame all the single gurl on these thread .... they think marriage that involve kids is like boyfriend & gurlfriend, you just text him.

Blunt truths are necessary, I beg to differ . No changes over the years , instead things are getting worse . Lack of money is the excuse that held her down over the years. There won’t be enough money and she better get that into her head.

Same money won’t be there for her when her baby daddy will carry out his threat and end her life one day. If she values her life , she will strive and find a way to cope .

IF you know by your decisions you can't guarantee her a perfect life, why not let her made her own decisions n just stand by her ...

I used the word "OR" for a reason, after leaving the marriage is either she lives happily single or get a perfect man that won't give her problem ... now if you can't guarante any of these why not try fix what she has, a bird in hand is worth thousands of bird in the sky.

Point of correction, Exist is an option that can not be enlisted as a solution process. revise

She is still young n has mere two kids rite grin how about you ask the single home based ladies we have on bench what its bin like for over a decade, ishilove, ginaz,hathor e.t.c lets be realistic, its bin how many years now toke makinwa left her husband, who don marry am. go to shiloh ko mor hwfar.
Biggest mistake people ever make is depdnding on a 2nd party. we forget people are bound to disappoint/fail.

African Americans are different from Africans and the reason why they pamper foreign women Na because say dem no dey take nonsense. If any foreign woman wants to try, marry a typical African man sell all your possessions and come back to africa with him. Don't offer him sex one day Na then you go know say na object you be.
Note: not all Africans are like this. You might be one of the few different ones who knows.
Says who !! blacks share common value just as the white share common value ...
why deny ur partner sex just to test him ... regardless of gender who go appreciate such .. on another thread did a woman not ask court to dissolve her marriage because the man denied her sex. so it not a gender thing, even pastor wives dey react.
I repeat no race of men pamper women more than africa/naija men. lets not derail further, you think white are better, fine
Re: Confused! by Tay20(m): 3:02pm On Jul 02, 2021
The first step you have to take is get the help of a therapist. You need to be in right state of mind to take good care of your children. If any bad thing happens to you today, your children will live there lives. Your mental health and safety is top priority. As a single mother your safety and security is key. If it takes separation please be separated. Only the living enjoys the benefits of life.

Black people don't share any common values shit, this is why I specifically used the word Africans, they are in a different environment than us so you can't just base such on colour. I never said white people are better bros. Sha you can believe what you want to believe.

Thumbs up Abeg. She no wan receive sense, maybe it will be bestowed upon her person but by then she's either in her grave or about to die. This is why I say feminists are wasting their time, just enlighten people go home and sleep the smart women will hear word, the slavish and stupid ones will go on to their degradation and death.
