NYSCRe: Is Nigerian Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Worth Doing? by PrettyCindy(f): 3:00pm On Apr 29, 2012
I did my service in Takum, Taraba state and served as a lecturer in their School of Health Technology. Honestly speaking i enjoyed my service year cos there were some goodies like sales of personal lecture handouts (lol), the school paid us 3k monthly, the state also paid 11k +(medical profession),my landlord gave me a big land to farm on so i had my own farm where i grew pumpkin, tomatoe, curry, water leaf, corn, okro, millet, green vegetable (i paid one village boy #250 to weed the farm and form ridges for me but i did the planting myself). I so much enjoyed the pumpkin that i had to take the seed home to my mum for planting. I ate lots and lots of okro soup cos they were much and more there was a mango tree, locust bean tree and guava tree at the back of my house that belonged to my landlord who fortunately for me wasn't living in the quarters. He even gave us (+my flat mate) new mosquitoe nets each. A family man who lived beside us connected generator light to our flat and never asked for a penny for fuel although there was light most of the time and the weather condition in the village was really nice. The chairman of the local government area who lived opposite our quarters allowed us to fetch water freely. I also had a dvd laptop which really helped drive away the boredom. I enjoyed my service to the fullest and i must say that if you serve in a village, you save money cos there is really nothing to buy except food.
So poster if you have a laptop or dvd laptop, novels (lots of it), games (like ludo, scrabble, chess etc), go with them cos they will come in handy. You talked about long life friends; hmn well it all depends on you and your ability to make nice friends.
Also it will afford you the opportunity to be closer to your maker.
I believe the major reason i enjoyed my service is because i lectured what i learnt in the university, i mean it was my field of study.

One bad thing about the village is that their rats have immunity against otapiapia, indocid and all other kind of rat poisons. You go fear rat now.

You can make your service year fun and you can also make it boring, it all depends on you.

I love the smell of burnt dried dodo and burnt jollof rice.

I love the smell of my 4+ old baby's mouth and the smell of his neck in the morning.
I love sniffing his hair for those wonderful scents.

The weird one is whenever he poops, i kinda sniffs the pampers before discarding it.
I love the smell of shea butter.

ileobatojo: Wow Cindy, what a horrible, disturbing story. Sounds like you fell into the hands of a mad man there. I thank God for you that you made it out with your life and for your new bundle of joy. May God heal you, protect and provide for you both and may your son bring you joy always.
Amen and Amen.

Efemena_xy: @ PrettyCindy, you poor dear! sad

**Lots of hugs & kisses for you**

No woman should have to go through what you've been through. It is indeed strange that your (ex) hubby threatened to get someone else just 3 months into matrimony & yet when you take in 3 months later, he demands you have an abortion? Odd one.

Anyway, May your baby forever be a source of joy & blessings to you!

May the good lord always give you strength & bless you and your baby for always...
Thanks and Amen.

cotton101: prettycindy - so I wasn't the only one that went thru hell during my pregnancy. Its almost like we went thru the same thing - my ex even denied the pregnancy initially. man i saw hell, even when I had a threatened miscarriage at 7 weeks he spent 2 days outside the home with one of his many girlfriends and refused to bring money for hospital visits.

he sent me abusive texts during the pregnancy and even after the baby was born - to date (and my daughter is almost 1 and a half) not one penny or call or text to ask if she is alive. High blood pressure almost killed me and my child while giving birth. but it is well o!!
Yet some people will conclude that you are lieing just to attract pity. My ex was very good at lieing to his family n friends to attract pity to himself and he unknowingly said it one day but as for me, i won't lie against him and my sister i believe you. Some men are just too cruel to their wives and i wonder outloud "y did they marry in the first place"? Ex husband made me feel like i was less a human, i never felt like a wife at all. Any way my dear its well with at least we made it out alive. Some others were not lucky.

Wislet: hmmm. Nice nice nice. God bless ur families.
know I'll meet someone great who'll gve me sth extra special to write too! Heheheeh. Show up fast o jare.
Babygirl this is the time you should be praying seriously for God to direct a good man to you. While you are waiting for him to show up, please invest in prayers and ask God for the wisdom to choose the right man who will treat you like an angel. Goodluck.
FamilyRe: Is It HygienicTo Eat Breakfast Before Brushing Your Teeth? by PrettyCindy(f): 6:31pm On Apr 28, 2012
Any night i sleep without brushing my teeth, i will be restless kind of and won't sleep well till i get up and brush even if its 2am. Its a habit already and i like it cos in the morning i don't have to bother about the nasty morning odour and i can eat breakfast before brushing.
For those who said its a waste of toothpaste to brush before and after eating, you can use a small amount of paste to brush before eating and use larger amount to brush after eating. Certain foods like beans, okro soup, native jollof rice etc can leave a bad odour in your mouth even though you brush with colgate before eating the food.

tpia@:
prettycindy

your ex sounds like he has a screw loose somewhere.

though we havent heard his own side, but still.
My sister/brother you don't have to believe if you don't want to.Even i find it difficult to believe that i still have my sanity after the cruel treatment i recieved during 7months of marriage to a man who married me. Even my mum didn't believe me initially when we first seperated until we discovered that he planned to destroy my life and from text messages he sent to me after i put to birth. The worse is that this man looks like an angel, that is he looks extremely innocent but totally dark inside.
Infact am even glad that i have been able to let this out because i didn't include it in my personal thread. Its all history now and i give God thanks daily for sparing my life. I know that God will make things right for me because till date i still can't figure out what i did to him and i never forced him into marriage.
FamilyRe: How Supportive Was Your Significant Other While You Were Pregnant? by PrettyCindy(f): 1:33pm On Apr 28, 2012
I was quite unlucky that i ended up with a cruel human as husband (now ex). 3 months after marriage when i didn't take in, he threatened to impregnate another woman soon. Well i finally got pregnant 6 months after marriage and i saw hell. I have never told anyone about this experience cos am a bit ashamed of it. He wasn't that happy over the news cos he already has a son from his ex fiancee (she ran away due to constant battery and i got to know late). My pregnancy was quite tough in the first 2months with the vomiting and all. He never showed concern when i was throwing up, weak, coughing, sick etc. We were married and living together but i was alone, terribly lonely. I still did all the chores, i mean every single thing including working 8am to 6pm daily. At a time i had severe cough, catarrh, nausea, vomiting and fever, this man opened up his mouth one night i just finished throwing up and said that "God was punishing me for my sins", that i wasn't sick cos of pregnancy but it was all punishment from God. I told him the only reason i was sick was because i was pregnant meaning that the sin i committed was sleeping with him as my husband. A day later he told me i was the most unimportant person in his life! Anyway long story short we seperated when i was about two months pregnant. He told me to get rid of the pregnancy since we were seperating and he proved his point by refusing to give me money for ante natal and by trying to kill the baby in my womb when he battered me but he didn't succeed. With the help of God i was able to carry my baby perfectly fine and put to bed safely. He is about 5months old now and indeed a blessing to my life and i love him with my with my life. If i had stayed with that man, i would have either lost the pregnancy or committee suicide cos of frustration or would have been pushed to the wall to do the unthinkable.
RomanceRe: Is It Safe For A Stammerer To Marry A Stammerer? by PrettyCindy(op): 8:37am On Apr 26, 2012
joanana: There is nothing wrong in marrying a stammerer, it just basiuc control n besides they r really hot tempered when they angry n can destroy things cos de words refuse to come out|!!!! all is well grin
That is my fear when both get married. The nature of anger of stammerers can be very extreme but if you decide to work on yourself you can control it. I used to be very hot tempered but i learnt and realised that its an evil that only destroys and destroys very quickly and so i worked on myself and today am much better off. So any stammerer with self control can control his/her anger.
RomanceRe: Hey Ladies, Will You Allow Your Friend Date Your Brother? by PrettyCindy(op): 8:51pm On Apr 23, 2012
TroyJay: Majority of ladies would prefer an older guy. Assuming your friend is of the same age as you, and the brother in question is younger than you are, would she want to date a younger guy? Now if the brother in question is older than you are, who are you to stop him from asking your friend out? if he wants to date her and she is agreeable to it, are you saying you wont allow it?
Why not? I will even encourage them so long as i trust her and know she loves him. This does not even apply to me as i don't have an elder brother.

RomanceRe: How Can One Identify A Pretending Partner??? by PrettyCindy(f): 10:25am On Apr 23, 2012
I agree with Cowgurl and Acidtalk. With good observation one can study his/her partner for hidden traits but some are damn good at hiding their true/bad characters and will reveal their true selves after successfully "caging" their spouses. When i was attending pre marriage counselling course in my church, we were thoroughly educated on the need to open up and reveal your true self to your spouse for the sake of peace in the marriage. Its better your spouse knows you have certain ugly character and loves you and the trait than finding out in marriage. If you don't love somebody, what is the point leading the person on to the point of marriage and pretend to love the person all thru courtship? I have heard of people who dated for up to 10 years before marriage but after wedding starts to discover unbearable characters? On the other hand you can court a man or woman for just 2months and live happily ever after. At the end of the day, it all boils down to one thing: prayer. Prayer to God to reveal the true character of the one you are courting to you.

And if you've noticed for a while, it as turned into a norm. So, we all have to be watchmen/watchwomen on this romance section to fish out the same user under different id's if peradventure we come across one. And personally, if you felt offended with the way i carried out the spreading of the news, i apologise.
Apology accepted.

Good this came from you, male. The operator is lucky that she is seeing this character and she has the opportunity to work on her man. The outcome is what i can't predict. Lady i will suggest you talk to this lady, she is a marriage/relationship counsellor and a very good one. Her website is auntieagatha..com. She writes for Independent newspaper.
RomanceRe: He Neva Says He's Sorry by PrettyCindy(f): 7:30pm On Apr 22, 2012
I had exactly same problem with my ex husband. His own was worse as in he said its an abomination for a man to apologise to a woman, he would also worsen the situation by saying he never saw or heard his father apologise to his mother so he would never do it and he never truely did despite all he did to me. I was really hurt.
Anyway why don't you have a talk with him? If he is a nice, caring, loving, responsible, hardworking man with fear of God, don't just give up on him yet ok. Try and have a nice long talk with him first. If he truly loves you, he will see that you are really hurting and amend his ways. Then you will observe thoroughly. It can be very frustrating when your spouse/fiance treats you like this. I have been there, mine was worse and i know that it really hurts. I hope your man realises what he is doing wrong and treat you like the lady and human you are. Goodluck.

Officer Ben the specialist double ID detector, did you actually bother to make your own investigation first before coming to this absurd conclusion? So you think am that free to have time to be creating multiple ID's in nairaland? Let me ask you- what is in it for me? Or you just want to open a thread for opening sake? CindyBrown may insult you for this stupid post of yours and i wouldn't blame her. I know you are probably used to people abusing you so its nothing to you but i don't think its good enough. Please learn to investigate and come out with proof before coming out with issues like this. Good day.
Nairaland GeneralRe: I Need A Name For My Newly Born Baby Boy by PrettyCindy(f): 6:34am On Apr 22, 2012
@op, are you seriously for real? Something as special as a name for your own child is what you are asking the world so tell you? So if you pick a name from here, names your son with it and people (or him when he grows up) later ask why you named him that, you will tell him that your internet friends chose the name not you.
Every man and woman even before marriage already have names for their children. Anyway congrats and welcome to motherhood.
RomanceRe: Ten Great Things About Dating Older Women by PrettyCindy(f): 6:18am On Apr 22, 2012
I have observed that quite alot of guys fancy dating a more matured woman (not sugar mummy) to younger girls. Well i feel its a matter of what one likes but my question is who greets who first? If the age difference is upto 6, will the lady completely throw away those years and be the one greeting the younger man in the morning and anyother time?
While i don't fault is as its each person to his or her own, when such people decide to marry, the family of the man more or less creates problems for them.
RomanceRe: Is It Safe For A Stammerer To Marry A Stammerer? by PrettyCindy(op): 5:58am On Apr 22, 2012
MOBBDEEP: @ OP,
That's where we got it all wrong. Stuttering, similar in features to Tics, is an Acquired disorder & it is more pronounced in heightened emotional states e.g anxiousness, being worried, having to explained yourself well especially with long/complex-compound sentences or using multitude of words etc.
It is a well known fact that Stuttering also simulate spectrum of another class of disorder referred to as Social Phobic Disorders where performance with a third party & sometimes a 2nd party is usually faulted.
Hence, in that family friend of yours, I'm, until seeing otherwise or proven contrary, faulting the child-raising skills, especially that has to do with vocalization & speech-making.

Come to think of it good people of NL, as my tribe dey talk am for our proverb say na thief fit track the footprints of another thief on a rock, who do you think is best placed to understand a Stutterer more?
No be another Stutterer?
There are more important traits, qualities, features, personality xteristics etc to use in weighing the dynamics & prospect of a union rather than things that were not under the individual's control, more so that it won't contribute much to the breakdown of the relationship.

@ Bennyraz,
I'm so sorry for you !!!
That's quite something to have experienced, which in real fact qualifies as ABUSE. If only they knew that it wasn't you. After all, it the defect could have even been from them from errors arising during your up-bringing.
Ignorance in humans, myself inclusive sometimes, doesn't cease to amaze me! A poor mother rejects vaccine, child develops fever, instead of mother to take him to clinic or at least use anti-pyretics e.g Paracetamol syrup, she binds baby in heavy clothing like 'sigidi', then baby starts convulsing. They start thinking it is the baby's fault & then to correct that, they stick his/her legs into fiery flame! Imagine?
That's what you call 'animal in humanskin'! ( If I may borrow Baba 70's song )
huh

She is quite lucky that she has found a man who truely loves her. If she is insisting on going back to the 1st guy, then she is a big toad and should expect more horror and wickedness from the guy. Though i think she should make sure the 2nd guy is fertile and truely responsible ooo cos you never can tell if he has an ulterior motive. It has happened to someone i know and it turned out the guy really loved her and they both have four kids now while the 1st man is no where to be found.

Believe me its only God that will bless you for your good deed. My only issue here is the fact that she practically threatens you and reminds you that you are a kind of stumbling block otherwise she would have gone to meet the highest bidder.
Why don't you have a heartfelt chat with her, you must really love her for you to be investing all your earnings into her life. Discuss with her, study her and try to find some clues to know if she is already unto another guy. Let her know you are really trying and she should be more understanding.

You try sha.
