If they insist U shouldn't pick Up the job, ask for alternative from them. But U need to carry out a personal research on why they dont want U to take the job. Lastly your pastor, imam or baba nigbejo can help U out.

i feel your husband should handle this one, not your in-laws. if he knows you are really passionate about it, then he should put his foot down. unless he doesn't want you to have the job as well?

They better employ you.
What's the worst that can happen, hmmm? The company may sack you huh??

Their prayer didn't show the main job for you,. Or they have a better offer?

And whats your honey saying about your inlaws intrusion into a decision that should be for both of you.

Lady, Nigeria's unemployment rates is at an all time high now, so it's either you answer now or park well make another person try him luck. No dulling.

Tell them you prayed about it and God showed you that he decreed this job for you. Are their prayers superior to yours?
It is always good to be in a permanent job before getting pregnant. Besides if the job is mot suitable you can always look for another or quit. A job is not a bondage. You have better bargaining powers looking for a job when you are already in one.
The most important thing is not the message but how you convey it. . With respect for them and their opinion and in all humility. Assure your husband that you wish to support him and gather some job experience before the babies come.

since when other peoples start dey see vision for you. Their motives are unclear and there could be a conflict of interest. My take, enter your own prayer and fasting. If the vision is that important surely God will reveal it to you too. If you no get revelation, diplomatically inform your in-laws that you too have prayed and that your answer is that despite the potential pitfalls it will give you plenty of experience and stand to you for good.

Please tell me this is a joke.


I have heard many Nigerians are myopic but if this is true then I must say Nigeria still got a long way.
No wonder this place is a shithole.

You got a job; a means of empowerment and someone somewhere is telling you to flush it down the drain without a commensurate alternative.

I guess you have no siblings who are still growing up and would need all the help they can get or no aged parents who would need to be taken care of.


I hope those in laws also saw you in their dreams and prayers begging for money to buy Maggi and condiments from them in a few months time....


Mtshewww...


Edit: Just checked your profile and it checks out. In-laws got another puppet to their list of puppeteers to pull strings on and see them dance to their "sorrowful" lyrics. cheesy

I hope your husband is matured enough to handle this.
You should take up the job which you can always quit if you don't find it good for you later on.
Discuss with your hubby and let him find out what problem they have with the job.

Once again, why haven't you gone and prayed for yourself. I'm so dumbfounded when people refuse to test the spirit as it was commanded for them to do!!!

"For I know the plans I have for you..." Jeremiah 29:11-13

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives," Colossians 1:9

God has a plan for you, and you can ask him to fill you with the knowledge of his will.

So... That's you answer

Simply discuss the issue with your husband & ensure you make him understand why you need to accept the job offer.
If he consents, then no need bothering yourself about what your in-laws may think my dear. wink

all those type of inlaws ehn angry

I know their type , Pray about it too n seek ur 'pastors'. I'm sure it would be a positive result and discuss it with your husband, have a heart to heart talk with him.

Since u told them about the high prospects of the job, they sure feel insecured especially when their son isn't like a CEO of some company.

N.B: You married ur husband and his in-laws

Damn, I am a lady oh, but if that's you in your profile pic , damnnnnn. Girl u hot...

Now to the topic:
It seems to me that your in-laws are too informal with you, to the extent they pray on a job offer you secured. Next time, I feel you don't need to discuss such personal issues with them, your husband can know but not your in-laws.
Secondly, in this era of unemployment, explain to them that, they should join you in praying against whatever demon they saw that formed their conclusion.
Lastly if they insist I guess you shouldn't take the job, as I personally hate negativity and they already introduced that.
