Quite immature . Should have sent a note to the parent saying Lagbaja won’t be allowed in school tomorrow if books are wrapped in such manner.

Pipefitter:
Never knew this, but if I checked it online I wouldn't have a problem except it's departure time right?

Checking in online just means that we will have a can of soda and biscuit for you available and it will also tell the computer that you are probably going to show up. You still have to physically be at the departure gate when boarding begins.

Please, I need advice. I went through my husband's phone and I saw a message he shared with his side chick.

In the text message, the side chick was telling him to get something for her mother. He responded that he doesn't have an idea on what to buy. The lady later suggested that He should buy Provisions for her.

They talk everyday and they exchange romantic texts everyday. They even have a pet name for each other.
My husband is a Civil Engineer and some weekends he travels for 'work', I know he has gone to see her.

This relationship with the side chick is gradually affecting my marriage. I have the fear of what will happen if she gets pregnant. For him to see her mother, it shows that they are already very close. He also sends her money. I see the transactions on his Bank App.

Please I need advice, what can I do.

So, first off my apologies. It’s one thing to have a side chick to relieve sexual tension but yours appears to be more of a polyamorous relationship.
I haven’t been in your situation but here’s my 2cents

You will have to walk backwards .
Do you have a career ? - Can you finance your living expenses ? Can you afford to leave ?

do you have kids ? - if you leave , unfortunately he will not leave the house for you, you depart the other woman is taking over.

Does he physically /emotionally abuse you ?

Are you married with a court certificate ?

You can handle this in a few ways
1. You confront him and demand that he cut .

If it's possible for you to check in online with your ticket, you won't miss most naija flight because you don't have any business with the counter, except you have a big luggage.

I don't know about US but sometimes Nigerian flights are overbooked, I once got to the airport 20mins before departure, I could hear from the address system that the flight was still boarding, but those at the counter told me they've closed the gate (whichever gate) and there was no other available seat/flight going to Enugu that day, another airlines said they have flight to Benin which is still very far from Enugu. I was forced to go to the park and enter bus to Enugu that same day and I arrived very late at night... I hope whichever agency in charge of Naija airlines put an end to this nonsense. One December also a flight I already booked prior to the date was not available, they said it was delayed but those agents were selling tickets are ridiculous prices to those coming from the international wing, I ended up staying for 8hrs at the airport from 8am, people wey enter bus don reach forget them travel... Sad experiences bro..

That’s standard - Flights abroad are also overbooked because it’s expensive flying with empty seats . I’ve been in many situations where flight attendants will ask if anyone would like to give up their seats for a price and be rebooked on the next available flight. If nobody obliges , they will start bumping people based on the quality of ticket purchased. They can legally do it.

Yes, gates are closed about 30 before departure. It usually is on the ticket . Departure at a certain time, boarding at a certain time. If you arrive at the check on counter at 6pm for 6:30pm flight , you likely won’t be allowed to board.

Schrodinger2:
Although, I've occasionally heard people talk about how they once missed thier flights, I never paid great attention as to what follows next. The last occurrence a PhD friend in Minnesota told me was when he missed his US-bound British Airways flight from the UK last summer. He was eventually excited when placed on another BA flight for free after much delay albeit there was a change in his destination (He arrived Utah instead of Minneapolis).



Today, I was to depart Denver at 6:45am for Washington DC on a Frontier Airlines, a trip I've planned and prepared for, for weeks. Arrived very early at DEN airport around 3:45am, completed my check-ins and got my boarding pass by past 4am and was waiting for 6am when boarding would commence. I needed to perform morning prayers and was lucky to find an Interfaith Chapel in the airport. I went inside the chapel around 5am and came out about few minutes past 6am.

It was at this moment I became seemly apprehensive, with the realization that I had limited time to join the boarding that ends at 6:20am. The thought that I still had to pass through the slow Immigration check point for screening even confirmed by worst fears.

I hurriedly went through the screening, and joined a 2 minutes tram ride that would take me to my boarding gate. My people, that was how I arrived at the gate by 6:30am only to find another African from Djibouti also going to DC, and ought to have boarded the flight but stranded outside this gate. His first words, we've missed the flight, and the gate is locked. I responded, the plane hasn't left as I pointed to it. He said they won't let us in as boarding is closed.

We were ask to go see customer service but was astounded by the poor and irritating lack of empathy by the customer representatives of Frontier Airlines. Many of their customers missed one flight or the other for different reasons - We had to repay to book our tickets for another flight. No refund was given.
Currently waiting for the next flight to DC. Note: cheap flight comes with trade offs.

Haha ! Nice refreshing story . Good to have something besides the election and Naira design palaver stories to read .

I’ve never missed my flight ( due to fault of mine ) but rather a connecting one . The flight out from Orlando was delayed and I kept asking them what will happen to our connecting flight from Toronto ? We kept getting the standard response. One of our agents would be there to assist you with our inquires .
Well we arrived 2 hours late . Got our luggage only to be informed by the flight display screen, not a human , that our flight was rescheduled for 7am that morning. ( we arrived at midnight ).
When we attempted to leave the airport to find a hotel, we were informed that our luggage would need to be rechecked again and we would have to pass through immigration. I said really !!! ( my mind was actually saying screw you dude and giving him the middle finger ) . That how I learnt to join 3 chairs together and tried to sleep . On close observations , I noticed that there were a lot of other people sleeping on the bare floor apparently in the same situation as us.

Where in the directive is a code requirement mentioned ?
I mean where are meat sellers and market people suppose to get code from ?

It's Nigerian CBN for godsake what do you expect? We are lucky it wasn't returned to the economy again.

Lol 😂. I shouldn’t be surprised

slimfit1:
That is the job of the central bank I don't know why people are crying.

We should not be seeing those Images is the problem. It should have been disposed securely.

to chase clout, to cure loneliness, to make some money if the channel blows etc. Canadian accent is not that hard and canadian dont have problems hearing us. This babe is lying

lol ... It is either she went to a Chinese store in Ontario . Canada is a big place.

Date my ex's aka Okafor law.

Inner19:
The problem is because Tems is not an Actress.

She has no business at the Oscars therefore she does not understand what it entails to show up at the biggest film festival in the world.

She belongs to the Headies. That's why she can dress like a White Cloud floating in space.

Becos she featured in a movie soundtrack and the ensemble artists were all nominated does not make her an Oscar material.

Genevieve is an Oscar material would have understood the assignment better anyday anytime if ever getting nominated for the Oscars.

Oscars not only for Actors. Sound editing, Custome design, Original Soundtrack. etc etc.

Isn't only whites , even blacks .

Whoever suggested to her to put it on should get canned. Just unnecessary backslash for a dress she should have known was blocking peoples view.

My conscience is judging me.

A woman that i sometimes patronize left a kid to watch her shop. I wanted to buy rice. I ask him for the price because the price do flunctuate, which he said it is 100, no 50, no 20 naira. I shock, then the devil enter me and i said whether e no go sell 10. I told him to sell me 5cup of rice, after he measured and tied it, i gave him 100 and told him to take the remaining 50 and not to tell the woman so that she will not collect his 50 tip.

Kid was happy, i was happy, trader lose.

Now this evening, rice no let me eat, i am just thinking of going back to do restitution.

How do i go about it without the trader getting angry?

Just say I bought rice here earlier and I paid N50 and promised to come back and pay the rest.
Dont overthink. Just do and leave.

[quote author=drphantom post=121735380]You become complicit in her death.

Abortions are illegal in Nigeria.

You can end up in jail for second degree murder or manslaughter at the very least[/quote

He isnt the one doing the abortion - So maybe involuntary manslaughter.

Was the abortion legal or recommended by a physician then no. But if not, then you would be an accomplice to homicide ( Involuntary accomplice to manslaughter )

This is the way !!!!

Just complete stupidity prior !

I just hope everyone now conforms and things can return to normalcy.

CBN gov has got to go

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Whomever you think is ugly will look like an angel to someone else.
You are not marrying the woman for me, your uncle or your parents. Since you have brought up beauty, you will have an Issue marrying someone who doesn't look beautiful to you. Just remember there is an Inner beauty as well.

At least 75% you mean

Even Yoruba Christians are desperate to teach them that Lagos is not a No man's Land

Lagos is Yorubaland

Yoruba too get mouth. When I see results then Ill believe

Even though I'm a born again Christian, I think I must give kudos to our Muslim brothers and sisters for living by the tenets of islam. No Islamic ruling nor nation will give a nod to this madness and we wonder why they are more morally up right than we Christians? Weird acts and cultures are common amongst Christian nations yet we think we are more righteous. Sometimes I regret being a Christian

Must you go there ?
How about this from an Islamic nation - Dubai and all this nonsense about degrading our women. Prohibiting women from driving , requiring the need of a legal guardian.
I'll rather live in a secular world than under bondage.

You regret because you can't have 4 wives bruh ... Say the truth!

Everything Everywhere All At Once.

To this very moment, I can't exactly explain that movie to anyone, even after watching it three times.

Mee too - I couldn’t even complete the movie . Didn’t like it one bit . Usually when I watch movies that sweep the globes . It’s a blockbuster. Just weird movie

Am I the only one that hated every thing all at once ? Couldn’t even finish the movie

Quest7777:
Same Festus that vowed INEC would immediately transmit election results from Polling Units.
I don't take him serious again...

I don’t blame him. He was just repeating what the technologist told him was possible. He had to carefully choose his words when he realized the there were glitches hence INEC’s - “ the right to determine the method of transmission of PU “ became manual not in real time as promised.

Pimplewankeeme:
Ladies and gentlemen, pimple have finished me. 80% of my forehead have been pimplerized. I need your help nairalanders. I don't feel comfortable under my skin again. And to make it worse, I have an upcoming interview in few days time o.

I used Bio-oil from 1st to 7th of this month but I didn't see any changes and I've long stopped using it. I also used K-brothers papaya soap during that time o.. but no effect

Lastly, does masturbation cos pimples? Cos the thing wants to finish my life.. my 1GB data no longer last up to 3 days o. Pls how can I stop this pimples. I want to have the skin of a new born baby o 😢. Pls helpful suggestions is needed house

Dude I used to have this pimples/allergies and these were my remedies.

1. It looks like you have Oily skin, So you have to abstain from Oily foods. Little to no Oil, GroundNut ( epa) . I also used black soap/Shea butter that made my skin dry and smoothed out my skin.
2. You have to Japa. I noticed that the aforementioned was not scalable, I mean when I was on campus eating eba ibo and egusi soup with 3 pieces of meat, It came back with a vengeance. When I japa for 6 months, my skin became smooth, my other Issues I had ( excessive perspiration) also disappeared .

It does make you sound bad !!
A rich man is a made man already . You didn’t sweat with him to make the money so therefore you don’t know his secret and he can therefore treat you like a piece of shit !

You want a man with a vision , a goal. And your relationship takes you from that position to an elevated one.

When I met my SO . I was living in the bachelor apartment that I rented from her mum. We got married and stayed in her place for 3 years. Built our own place and when the MIL ( mother I law) passed away , we bought her place .( Paid out her siblings. )
She has her business, I do what I do.
I can never say - all that I have is mine neither can she brag .
That’s the better relationship.

….Uncertainty in Ogun, Bauchi, Abia, Enugu, Oyo, Rivers, Edo, Katsina, Ekiti, Benue, others



https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/03/6-days-to-rescheduled-polls-tension-as-infighting-in-apc-pdp-escalates/

Because I live in Ogun State . Gov Prince Dapo cannot govern . He’s an idiot . Anyone but the incumbent is better . Roads are terrible - the Sanyo-Otta road. Communities with no borehole drinkable water.

Dapagun:
1. You can't increase salary without budget considerations. Have you spoken with the Accountant General, Finance Ministry, is there budgetary allocations for this? Does this person understand governance in anyway?

I agree - he has no idea how much debt Lagos has. However what is this #5bn with alpha he is talking about to cancel . You can’t cancel a contract legally without penalties.
I would have said increase by a certain percentage instead of a figure . Besides that I like his vision .

siofra:
A woman cannot even post her opinion on nairaland without getting dragged by male nairalanders.

It's so bad that because of this, lots of amazing women have left the forum.

God forbid that she's a feminist, they will troll her till she leaves.

Nairaland men, why can't you live and let live Why are you chasing Seun's users/customers away Mods please you have to do something about this. You guys really have to.

See the disgusting and vulgar way they trolled I and some female nairalanders on this thread👇
https://www.nairaland.com/7601001/should-abort-first-pregnancy

And here, this delusional nairalander named verywickedgoat or whatever put I and some innocent female nairalanders on his "Hitlist"

https://www.nairaland.com/7600988/hitlist#121553236

Is it a threat or what? I report these silly threads when I see them but sometimes it's just too much.

I introduced a female friend to nairaland but she refused to join because of this.

This needs to stop ASAP.

I used to adore you till the day you got me banned . Since then you became a living dead person to me. So you and your friend can skedaddle out of here , pass go and don’t collect $200

Insecurity! Broken home! Abuse !!!

EriMma1:
No no no... You tell me?

A man who cannot meet your needs should not be anywhere around you because he'll only be a stumbling block to your progress and cause you to miss out on great opportunities that would have come your way through those who understand the assignment. Don't ever let such men around you.

I've never been an advocate for starting small with a man after my past experiences even before the economy got this bad not to talk of now that it has plunged deep into meltdown.

A lot of ladies who went into such mess in the early 2000s are still carrying the family till today while the men are struggling to meet up with no headways or hopes in sight. This takes me to the next point.

As a single man still struggling, don't ever brainwash or be brainwashed by any girl to go into marriage and manage with you until things get better. Y'all have seen that e go better has become the prayer of a poor man. So run away from such trap. Make it to a reasonable level first before going for a woman.

I don't want to begin to go into details of the eventualities that may likely occur and become very grave due to inability to tackle them financially. Use your tongue to count your teeth.

I remember a long time ago when I was dating one struggling guy. The aunty asked him a very good question I'll never forget in my life and that taught me a lesson I've been applying in life's situations.

He invited me to come spend the weekend with him that the aunt was around so I could feel relaxed. When I got there and the aunty saw me, she called him aside and asked him the following.
You know we are struggling to eat in this house. Your salary is not enough and you brought in a young girl. What if there's an emergency in the course of her stay, what will you do? How will you go about it? When he told me, I became scared and thought the aunt was right. I now remembered one certain time I visited a friend. So that night we strolled out to buy suya. I don't know if it was from the suya paper or the unhygienic environment it was prepared that gave me food poison. That night, I didn't know where I was. Serious stomach cramps and I was just coiling up in the room that day holding my stomach. Again this lawyer guy no get shishi to even take me to the nearest clinic. In his confusion he gave me garlic to chew. That seemed to help a little but omor, I broke up with him.

So, with this few points of mine, I believe iv been able to convince and not confuse you on the need to stay away from a man that cannot cater for your needs.

If you attack me, it shows you're a struggling guy or dating a struggling guy. Una eyes go soon clear. My own don clear tey tey.

Enjoy.

I had a few choice words but being that you’re a newbie . I’ll just read comments
