Rhinoowhor2014: @Purecotton.and Sekena.Pls How much is d Makari serum and cream sold in Nigeria ,I realy need it urgently.and how can I get it online? Since fake is everywhere can I place an order?.Tanx I buy mine directly from www.makari.com and they deliver to me using dhl. Their products ain't cheap but they work. I battled with severe acne shortly before my wedding and I was told to use makari by a friend and the results were amazing. I think there's an official makari distributor in nigeria. Please google it. I remember seeing an advert they placed on lindaikeji |

Get makari body beautifying milk. Get the skin repairing serum. For sunscreen, I suggest neutrogena. In the morning, You scrub your face with the soap gently, leave it for 10mins, rinse, apply the sunscreen first, then apply the body milk. In the evening, do the same but apply the serum instead. If you want quick action, apply both the milk and the serum. This method worked so well for me that after 2 wks, I saw amazing results. Now I use the makari products just one a week or once in two weeks to maintain my skin. Or I mix it with jergens lotion and apply it daily. |

Sekinatr. It's makari exfoliating bar soap. Make sure you get the original. You can get it at alhaja's shop at illupeju or top makeup store. There's lots of fake about even in the US. I buy mine directly from makari 1 Like |

Get makari soap, serum and beautifying milk and use all three. Use the serum and the soap twice a day. Aldo use sunscreen/sunblock. SPF 60 minimum. You will light in 2 weeks guaranteed ! Stop once you achieve your desired skin tone and just focus on maintaining your skin. You can do this by using sunblock everyday and using makari once a week or once in two weeks. 1 Like |

He said,it a lie dt he's nt cheating on м̣̣̥̇̊ƺ..pls my mind isn't settled at all..ℓ̊ dnt knw wat τ̅☺ do.. Hmmm. An old friend of mine was once in the same situation. She got an anonymous text informing her that her husband was cheating on her and that he recently had a child with the lady. The anonymous informant said he/she had to tell her friend as she couldn't stand the way the husband was fooling my friend and acting like he was the best hubby in the world in public. Anyway, the text turned out to be very, very , very true. So I would advice you keep an eye on your husband. Someone that knows both of you must have sent you that text. |

deltateam: I totally relate with you on this. My husband too struggled to get a breakthrough career wise. He took a step of faith and decided we do our family introduction. Barely 48hours to the event he got a job in the field he's been seeking. Although the pay isn't great but it's was far better than staying at home earning nothing. I agree. Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from The Lord. 5 Likes |

pickabeau1: I'm super supportive. He once accused me of being proud but he later apologised. Throughout our courting days, I helped rigoursly with job hunting but then he would decline interview invites for flimsy reasons. It was all so emotionally draining and the whole experience left me scarred and I'm not keen to go through that whole experience again. He doesn't need any special exams. My husband is well educated. |

Although there's so much influence from his family as they want me to relocate without a job waiting for me and then manage my husbands very small salary. His salary is so small that it can't even pay for a return ticket to see me. |

pickabeau1: No kids. No. I'm not allowed sabbatical leave. I have tried getting another job but jobs are so hard to get in nigeria. It took him a long long time to get this job so he's worried if he resigns, he would becone jobless. I have told him to try and get a job at my location but he's not keen/interested. |

I need advice on how to handle a long distance marriage I keep hearing stories of men cheating or women losing their homes to some random lady, etc but what can I do when my husband refuses to relocate and insists on holding on to his job that cannot even sustain him. |

I have just come across this interesting thread and I thought I share my story. I made this post on another thread but didn't get any comfort, support, advice or admonishments. I'm facing the situation where I'm earning more than my husband. I have always had a stable job and earned more than my husband even before we started dating. About two years before our marriage, God blessed me with another fantastic job. When I landed the plum job, he didn't want me to take it and he wanted me to relocate but I refused and stood my grounds. I was really hurt then because the only reason I could think to explain why he would want me to turn down a dream job was jealousy. That job that he wanted me to turn down has turned out to be a source of blessing to him as I have helped him in more ways than one. Although he later apologised about his attitude. He's not proud of my achievements, doesn't support me, doesn't ask after my career progression and he is always quick to talk down on my job when he's discussing with his friends and family. He keeps saying that "I'm just lucky" to have gotten the job. This hurts me so much because I have worked hard and really excelled at my job and worked really hard to keep it. I spoke to him about it, initially he denied it and claimed he supports me and he later apologised. He didn't have a car and when I couldn't bear the embarrassment on him, I bought a top of the range car for him with all the documents in his name even before we got married. So many things I have done for him all to the Glory of God. He took him about 3 years to get a job. On numerous occasions, he turned down jobs for mundane reasons. This led to so much arguments between us but I still remained with him and I supported him. He finally got a job few months to our wedding but his salary isn't much and can barely sustain him. The sad part is that both him and his family have refused to come to terms with his financial situation. They wanted me to resign from my job (again) before we officially got married and relocate to be in the state where he was and this caused so much fight because I kept asking how we were going to survive if I made such a move without a new source of income. I stood my grounds again and refused that I wasn't going nowhere. It seems they would rather see us live hand to mouth to prove a point that he's the 'breadwinner'. Today, I'm happy I didn't make the move because if I did, I don't know how we would have survived. My husband and I live a very comfortable life. . . . and I keep wondering why anyone would want to trade comfort for poverty/hardship. I feel he is jealous and so is his family and it really hurts me. A man should see his wife as a pillar of support and a channel of a God's blessings in his life and not someone he should compete with or feel threatened by. With all these, I still love my husband, I support him, I encourage him to succeed and I keep praying for him. Sometimes I think the reason why things haven't picked up for him is as a result of his attitude. Maybe if he was more appreciative, proud, thankful and supportive of God's blessing (me), God would have also reciprocated and blessed him even more than he has blessed me. This whole situation has turned me into a very angry, abusive, unhappy and bitter woman as I feel I hold so much grudges against my husband and I really need help to let them go. 2 Likes |
