He's not gay, nobody is gay. Most so called Gays are hypocrites and beta simps. The rest were conditioned by their environment.
Let’s be realistic- they exist. Even as far back as 1999 when I was an undergrad at Unilag . A certain someone thought I was symPathetic when I defended him. Didn’t really understand what he was saying then but later realized.
A friend of mine who was effiminate drown in a pool all of a sudden.
You can say what it wants but most of the issue starts with the breakage of the family unit . The man runs away after 3 kids and leaving the mum to handle the family. The boy with no role model does the same things his sister does. The girls grow up seeking men love for sex.

He's my parents last child, he's 19 now. I feel he was born gay because right from when he was a child, he acts like a woman. He'll prefer to play with dolls, he'll tie wrapper all the time, we felt this was just a small kid thing and that he was going to change when he's all grown. Unfortunately for us, i think he's gay now completely. I'm just devasted right now really don't know how to go about this.

I returned home for Christmas last year i couldn't believe what i saw my brother doing. I have had a discussion with my parents we really don't know what to do right now.

Any advice in the right direction will help please. Thank you.
I recall when I was a kid about 6 years old. I begged my mum to paint my nails. I was happy when we got a public park and my dad noticed it. He was furious and scrubbed them off then and there .
19 years is too late but not impossible. He could be effiminate ( a dude that just likes cross dressing ) but has no desire to be an alphabet.
But if he is gay - then send him abroad or he would die in Naija . See what they did to an Uganda activist on his way to work.
As Christians we should love and pray as painful as it is. As parents we ought to have stopped the trend at the formative age.
There is really nothing you can do than sit down and have a lengthy conversation. Threatening will not work as he could be led to commit suicide . Excommunicating will yield the same.

FamilyRe: At What Age Should A Father Stop Bathing His Daughter? by rickleye: 12:36pm On Jan 05, 2024
Dilijingsly:
Am a family man and taking care of my children is not a big issue, my daughter is a year and a old . The big question is at what age should i stop bathing her?
Before she starts grade 1. ( 5-7 years old) on average. Some might spoil their child and so it after 7yrs but it’s on them.
Girls develop faster than boys and will begin to show advancement.
She will start to say “ daddy I want to do it myself “ to showering and brushing of teeth, changing clothes etc . At that age she will be begin to express independency. You be there to help with her back but she would do everything herself even cleaning up after doing number 2.

I believe I should understand my feelings better bro. I really WAS NOT IN LOVE. I was sincere enough to tell you what kept us going until she got pregnant. I made my findings just today after some comments here and their culture does not recognize fathers of children who hasn't paid anything on their daughter. It enough pain already. That why even if you have to insult please also give me sincere advice. Thank you
- If I have to go with police and get a mouth swap and prove that I am the father . I am not giving up on the child.
If I have to go to police to her whereabouts and ask that the child be brought to town . That is what I am doing .
Whose name is on the birth certificate as the father ?
You are not doing enough in my book to get the child into your custody. Claim the child is being denied both maternal and parental care . You are able to provide an adequate environment for the child be it with a relative closer to you.

RomanceRe: A Woman Wants To Have Sex Because She Want The Man by rickleye: 4:29pm On Jan 04, 2024
Amb1045:
A woman have sêx because she wants the man.

A man have sêx because he wants sêx.

You see the difference?

Sêx is a physical thing to a man.

But for a woman, sêx is both physical and emøtional.

A woman can have sēx because of love. But a man can have sêx because of sêx.

Before a woman can have sêx with you, she must have feēlings for you. She must have that emøtionally attachment to you, Not talking about those trāding their for møney in the name of Hoøk up, Stop it. Heaven is watching ❤️🙏

That EROS dimension of love will be there.

Hārdly will you find a woman having sêx with a man she does not love. Except if she's a prøstitute.

But for a man, reverse can be the case. A man may have no iota of love for you, and still have sêx with you.

This is why a man can hire a prøstitute just to have sêx. He doesn't need to love the prøstitute before he fulfills his sèxual desire.

Now, understand this:

As a woman, a man can use you to feed his sexūal desires. He can even give you money. He can take you out. All because he wants sêx, not you!

If you want to know if a man truly loves you, don't give him sêx. Sit back and watch.

If he leaves you because you don't give him sêx, then he doesn't love you. He only loves sêx!

Dear young adult girl!

As you're growing up and getting closer to the journey of marriage life..pls try to understand that you can choose a husband for yourself but your kids can't choose their own father,while choosing a father for them pls choose a father,a friend,a tutor,a prophet,and a guidance for them...

And don't forget to be good mother you can raise a hero and not a zero

Just thinking, it's common for men to make promises to their wife or girlfriend before or during sex, do women do the same?
Women will make promises if they feel you are falling in love prior to them falling in love. It’s only people who are falling in love open their mouth and utter things. You na too dey watch American porn too much.
Do you hear all those porn on that Naija porn site utter anything ?
Some couples like affirmative words. I don’t open my mouth so that I don’t say anything in a vulnerable state I’ll regret later.
RomanceRe: I'm Dying Slowly Because Of Cohabitation by rickleye: 4:20pm On Jan 04, 2024
PerfectJUSTICE:
Good morning guys. I met this lady some years back and one thing led the other we started living together. She is from north central why I am from the east. At first it was just sex but somehow it started developing to feelings (from her end though). The sex was so good that she became pregnant. She finally gave birth to a beautiful girl but we kept staying together. God knows I should have married her but I saw signs that I was very scared to commit my future with her kind...yes..her kind. She was too temperamental to the extent that whenever she's angry she goes for the kill. She once used a knife on my face that left a scare even till today. I can't count properties she has destroyed whenever that demonic anger is on her and she's extremely jealous. Her jealousy have pushed her one time to make me sleep outside in the cold even when I wasn't guilty of her accusation. It got to a point where I couldn't take it anymore and I had to tell her to go. I didn't know that was just the beginning of what she has in store for me.

The day I told her to go and that I am fed up, I left for work only to return to an empty apartment. She moved everything from the house and left just the rug for me. I cried. I tracked her to her sisters place and saw her but I didn't see any of my property. I wanted to take it up with her but some people adviced me that it was ok she left with the property than with my life. I left her and started afresh but I didn't stop caring for my daughter who is 5. I was still paying her school fees and still fed her (or will I say them). Truthfully this lady is not from a rich home. The mum and siblings are still in the village struggling.

I woke up to a new year call on the very first day of this year to hear that my daughter is now in the village with her struggling grandma and will not be returning anymore. I almost passed out. How? Why? She said if I needed to see my daughter again I should go to the village that she wanted to live a free life.

See what cohabitation have caused me. I feel depressed. Pained. The village doesn't have access. No network. I can't even reach anybody. I'm so very frustrated. What your advice please

NB: For those saying it's fiction because I wrote the village is inaccessible. A village where you will have to park your car and continue the rest of the journey with a boat is it easily accessible? A village where you will have to come outside before you can make or receive a call would you say that the village have network? Please I didn't come here to right you a fiction. This is real. If I show you a picture of me like now you will understand I'm practically loosing it. I only need your sincere advice hence I wrote this.
Dude - there is no place inaccessible except heaven that will stop me from getting my daughter.
So go with a male friend . Give the grandma money and go and get your daughter from the village.

Stop blaming cohabitation. You fell in love and then out of love. Period. If you were not sure you could have put rubber on it.

Just two babies, the breast are now skiny, i don't want to cheat on my wife. What must i do to make it firm or even bigger.

File Photo used for illustration
There is a TV show hosted by Vogue Williams I. The UK called Send Nudes. They will show you how she will look after a boob job . If her boobs are an issue then how about her ass ?

There was this single female lady that we hooked up recently.
I thought her boobs her perky from the top she wore but when she undressed they were fallen. I tried not to show my disappointment. She actually did not want to remove her C cup bra as her boobs were just A size until I nudged her. She called them fallen soldiers. To boost her morale, I kissed them both and just turn them around. No set of fallen Soldiers will stop me from reaching my goal.

I’m sure if she knew they would fall that much she would have fed her child for a few months instead of longer. It’s not her fault as a supportive husband you can either love her as she is or get her the money for the implants

RomanceRe: Is It Wrong To Cook & Wash Clothes For Your Wife? - Nigerian Lecturer Declares by rickleye: 2:59pm On Jan 04, 2024
DyshApp:
A Nigerian lecturer, Dr. Austine Imoniche Oviosun, has shocked netizens after revealing that he cooks for his wife, Dr. Ezinne Chidimma, and washes her clothes whenever he can.

He shared this while reacting to an inquiry on Facebook on whether he could help his wife buy food ingredients for his return from work.

The query read,

“Dear Bro, Can Your Wife send you to buy Fish, Okro, and Vegetables when returning from the Office?”

Dr. Austine noted that he would gladly cook for his wife, not just buy ingredients, as marriage is the union of two understanding people.

“Not only buy.. cook for her and wash her clothes when I can… marriage is a union of two understanding persons. Call me a woman wrapper. I nor care. I love my wife, that is the most important thing,” he wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

Reacting to his revelation, Bello wrote; “It’s not a big deal, of course, a man should be able to cook for his wife and wash her clothes too sometimes as this shows both persons are in love with each other and with every fiber within.”

Mc commented; “I don’t see anything wrong in this. “When I can” is the keyword there. It’s not a norm he does that always but when he feels like it. I can also do that for my wife. Call me a finished man.”

It’s Mentality and cultural issue here.

I have seen the Mayor of a town I live in at the grocery store. No security detail , no aide. I approached her politely and asked her a few questions. How often do you shop here ? Aren’t you afraid that people with whom you have a discord could accost you on an issue . She said she is a servant and serves the people which means she must be approachable, and in a respectable manner.
In Naija maybe the issue is a problem but elsewhere not one bit of an issue . They do the dishes and even cook when it’s their turn.
Can I give birth and nurse a kid ? It comes natural for women to do so. But cooking is learned and if I can cook better than my spouse then why wouldn’t I want us to eat something edible ?

PoliticsRe: Ban Sports Betting Apps, Reno Omokri Urges Tinubu by rickleye: 10:37pm On Jan 03, 2024
adenigga:
Social media influencer, Reno Omokri, has urged President Bola Tinubu to ban sports betting apps in the country.

According to Omokri, a ban on sports betting apps could even help improve the value of the Naira.

Omokri, who quoted the National Lottery Trust Fund. lamented that “$1 billion is spent on gambling daily in Nigeria.”

The media influencer expressed his views in a series of tweets shared via his X profile on Wednesday.

His tweet read, “President Tinubu can immediately improve the economic conditions of most Nigerians and make the Naira grow by issuing an Executive Order authorising the Nigerian Communications Commission to ban sports betting apps from the App Store of any GSM Internet Service Provider in Nigeria and revoking the licenses of any physical sports betting operators in Nigeria. It makes better sense than Buhari’s draconian #TwitterBan.”

The former Special Assistant to erstwhile President Goodluck Jonathan stated that an average Nigerian spends “$15 daily on sports betting and other types of gambling.”

Omokri noted that despite the high rate of gambling in the country, the “vast majority of that amount” is leaving the shores of the country into foreign nations, compared to the nation’s externally generated revenue.

“This is scary. How much is our GDP that we are pissing it away like that? More money is leaving Nigeria through gambling than is coming in,” he wrote.

Omokri cautioned., “The Naira can never sustain its rally under such circumstances.”

The tweet stated further, “There is such an epidemic of gambling in Nigeria and it is destroying Nigerian youths. $1 billion is spent on gambling daily in Nigeria, according to the National Lottery Trust Fund. Please fact-check me.

“The average Nigerian spends $15 daily on sports betting and other types of gambling, with the vast majority of that amount leaving our economy and going to places like Russia, South Africa, and Europe. The Naira can never sustain its rally under such circumstances.”

Findings by PUNCH Online reveal that several sports betting firms operate in Nigeria. Some of the betting firms include Bet9ja, Nairabet, Merry Bet and SportyBet, amongst others.

Omokri, in his post, further urged Tinubu to “act on such a matter as threatening to our national security as this gambling epidemic.”

He also condemned the illegal means through which some Nigerian youths sought money “to fund their gambling habit.”

PUNCH Online reports that the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Zephaniah Jisalo, said the Federal Government would find a lasting solution to the friction caused by revenue generation in the gaming sector.

Jisalo noted that the FG “will do all within its statutory powers to ensure the gaming industry remains on the steady path of sustainable growth and development,” while speaking at the 2023 International Gaming Conference held at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos State, on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.

The Fund’s Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Bello Maigari, appearing before the House of Representatives Committee on Finance on Monday, November 20, 2023, stated that the Fund, in 2023, generated N2.5 billion, noting however that the entire sum had been spent in the execution of various projects across the country.

The money, he said, was generated from statutory remittances from licenses and permit holders.

SportsRe: Argentina To Honor Messi After Retirement By Retiring No. 10 Jersey. by rickleye: 9:00pm On Jan 03, 2024
robosky02:
Whenever Lionel Messi retires from the Argentina national team, Argentine Football Association president Claudio Tapia said he intends to make sure no player ever wears the No. 10 shirt again for the Albiceleste.

“When Messi retires from the national team, we will not allow anyone else to wear the number 10 after him,” Tapia said at a press conference over the weekend. “This number 10 will be retired for life in his honor. It’s the least we can do for him.”

Though retiring jersey numbers at the club level is fairly normal, it’s less common in the international game — and for good reason.

FIFA regulations require players to wear all numbers from one to 23 during official competitions. In other words, if Argentina is committed to retiring the No. 10, then it would have to play every tournament after Messi’s retirement missing one player on the roster.

There’s also the question of whether the most iconic jersey number in the game really belongs to any single player — even one as great as Messi.

Diego Maradona made the No. 10 shirt iconic with Argentina, and subsequent playmakers like Juan Román Riquelme followed in his footsteps until Messi made the number his own. If post-Maradona players could aspire to become Argentina’s No. 10, why couldn’t post-Messi players do the same?

Argentina actually attempted to retire the No. 10 shirt in Maradona’s honor more than 20 years ago, a request that was rejected by FIFA. It’s hard to imagine this time around will be any different.

Messi cemented his status as an Argentine legend in 2022, winning the World Cup to go along with the Copa América title he won the previous year. Though he’ll turn 37 this year, Messi is still very much central to the Argentina national team’s plans at the current moment.

Last month, the Inter Miami star said he was taking his national team career day by day and though he’s not closing the door on another World Cup in 2026, he is only focused on the 2024 Copa América in the United States.

After previously claiming the 2022 World Cup would be his last, though, Messi is now pushing for 2026 and a sixth World Cup appearance.

“I’m going to arrive at an age that I normally wouldn’t be able to play in the World Cup. I said that I don’t think I’m going to be there,” he told Star+. “It seemed that after the World Cup I was retiring and quite the opposite — now I want to be there more than ever.”



https://prosoccerwire.usatoday.com/2024/01/02/messi-argentina-retire-number-10-jersey/
In my opinion that shirt should have been retired with Maradona . Same with Brazil and Pele. Both federation goofed.

FamilyRe: I Want To Adopt A Child As A Single Man by rickleye:
tasalanoni:
Nl folks, pls your opinions are needed.
I'm currently 31, earning reasonably well and with greater prospects for the future.

The pressure to settle down is getting stronger by the day. However, I don't consider myself psychically fit for marriage in the midst of the deterioration that the marriage Institution is experiencing.

Judging by my current perspective and disposition on the subject of marriage, I don't see myself setting down even in the next 5years. I try to carefully look at the pros and cons of contracting a marriage in today's world and I always come to the conclusion that there are more cons than pros.

I'm also not a very family oriented person in the sense of creating familial bonds and deeply cherishing them hence I derive my fulfillment and pleasure in doing the things I love to do, acquiring wealth and giving help wherever I deem necessary.

The thought of opting for an adoption is beginning to occupy the greater part of my consciousness and the reasons are few and in my opinion very valid.

1. Progeny is very important in social arrangements especially in the Igbo society. I'll definitely be needing someone to carry on the family's name and legacy when I'm no more.

2. If my perspective on marriage changes for any reason and I decide to take the step towards contracting one, I may have become a little too old then to handle the perculiates of marriage and family life( parenting, school runs issues etc). But with a child already in picture and almost a teenager by then, that part of the problem would have been kicked out..

Nb:As for raising the adopted child, myself, parents, siblings and a helper will be involved while financial responsibility will be exclusively mine.

Kindly help me with insightful and mature advice that is based on direct or third party experience.
A single parent should not be allowed to adopt a child. It is not a complete unit or family . You are taking a child from a place where he/she is in an unideal state to another unstable situation. Unless you have a will stating that should anything happen to you,the child is your begotten child and has all rights and legal claims as any blood relative.

- I would suggest you try IVF/surrogacy first.
- or gestation surrogacy where you inserminate your sperm into an ovulating girl and she carries your baby to term. With payments done at various stages but back ended. So for example
50k per trimester ( you pay her transport, medical and accommodation) and she gets 1m lump sum at live delivery.

But If you want to adopt get a partner who is of the same mind set . If you adopt and later marry and she has siblings she will consider hers superior to the legal first child ( if you don’t want to marry as yet )

I think you can actually make arrangements for about 3m to get a child from a reputable orphanage. I am also considering but from a unit standpoint.

Dude — are you telling me that you stayed faithful to your wife in Nigeria for 4 years ? That is a lie. Even if you were a pastor.
Even though women can stay without sex for a long period of time. She isn’t coming home bro. And you should have seen the handwriting on the wall when she started giving excuses after the two year's.
I know women who due to economic issues are still strung to their Nigerian partners. Having to endure all sorts of financial, emotional abuses from such partner. If such an opportunity should present itself they will cut the ties immediately.
Therefore, sign the divorce papers and work out visiting rights with kids.

Guys, what is the fun in clubbing abeg? Few days ago I went to a club. Here is what I observed

1. Some girls hustling to get hook up gigs.
2. Some guys trying so hard to out spend each other.
3. A new job industry has been created for hype men. Whatever that means.
4. How can the smoking of shi sha be legal?
5. You cannot have a good time in a club. It's too noisy
6. I will never go there again.
Clubbing and house party are two different things.
I’ve never went clubbing at Lag and never did afterwards .
There are other certain clubs that have inner chambers where other times of things occur. It’s quiet . You get a room , have sex and everyone goes their way.
House Parties, you can move to other places. Chat with girls and go some place else for further action.

Na so problems dey start oo but my people nor wan gree. She must marry him by fire by force. Money can do a lot of good YES but it doesn't guarantee a happy and fulfilled home. Most girls today will jump at the opportunity and try to kill two birds with one stone later on in the marriage only for the matter to cast anyhow then we hear married woman found with her ex lover or DNA wahala. And people will start blaming her because she's well taken care of by the husband. Even if eventually she doesn't even cheat on him everyone deserves to be happy na... No be her fault say the guy fall for her but it will be her fault if she frustrates the guy in future because of pent up frustration and sadness over the course of time. No one deserves to live like that abeg. Life short oo
I hear you and understand where you are coming from . However, the ratio of men to women out there does not favour a woman to disqualify a man due to outward appearance. At a certain age we all settle for marriage. So if she feels she can do better then go ahead and let him go but her comments come across as being childish .

So, there's a man who wants me to be his wife. Honestly, he possesses the qualities of a good husband, but I can't deny that I don't find him attractive. Despite my efforts, I can't seem to develop feelings for him. Seeing his face makes me angry, even though he treats me well and spends generously. His height and face are a deal-breaker for me. If I accept his proposal, I know it will cause pain, but no matter how rude I've been, he won't let go. I'm considering running away from my community altogether. I don't want him to know my parents; otherwise, I'm done.
I agree with a comments ahead . Stop spending his money and accepting gifts from him. I would even go as far as asking you to return any jewelry and items that he has purchased for you .

I applaud you seeking advice on this Issue. That said, I feel you are in your mid 20’s with options cuz I know women who are in their late 30’s seeking a man. Infact any man’s hand in marriage.

At a certain time in life height & facial appearance will not be a criterial for marriage but inward appearance. Is he kind , is he fair, does he love me, what do we have in common , is he faithful .

So be careful before you discard your benefactor just due to outward attributes.

I was in my bf's apartment one faithful day when I experienced this thing that still makes me feel uncomfortable everytime I see this guy. angry
I was inside his room one Saturday evening and I was on just my bra and pnt. We were the only ones at home so I came out like that to meet him in the kitchen only to find his friend in the sitting room staring at me like that. shocked shocked
I immediately whispered Jesus and ran back inside. Didn't come out till he left. I was so embarrassed!!! embarassed

I believed you laughed. Share yours let's laugh together. tongue
There’s something missing in the story
Didn’t bf know your state that you were naked ?
Didn’t he tell you that Jose would be passing by ?

Couple of ladies have called me big head and I know that my head is not big. Now I know I'm not the only guy being called big head.

I've searched online but can't seem to find straight answers to what it really means. Can anyone tell me what it really means?
Not all men by the way.

Some women call men “ Big Head “ when they sense you are full of self accomplishment or pride. It’s a synonym for being arrogant or prideful

Naso dem dey do for France and Germany abi?
You comparing us to France and Germany is laughable bro.
Compare to neighbouring West African countries first. If Naija value life we won’t be driving the way we do and behaving the way we do. At Ojuelegba there is a barricade preventing trucks from taking the overpass . Every week a “ smart Naija “ driver drives past and destroys it. Without a human deterrent . Most Lagosians will misbehave.
