I do not know of a Birmingham University where this sort of nonsense is the norm. I wonder if they meant Bingham University.
Great catch !! I was saying to myself that I know someone in Birmingham U and she never mentioned anything like this. Plus, the administrator must be mad in 2025 to have these draconian rules but in Nigeria …
Wainey: Please if you can't give mature response, don't fill up the front page with drivels.
So I am in a relationship with this lady, but the problem is that she already has three children with her ex, not just one or two but three. Two of the children lives with their father while she lives with one.
Despite this, she is an industrious lady who works for her own wellbeing, though I spent money on her once a while but it's not even half of what she spends on me, that is mostly because she has a better financial muscle than I do. She is caring, loving and loyal, she doesn't even have friends and has always been all about her career, when I asked why she didn't end up with her ex, she said it was cos of tribalism, I didn't ask further though.
Now, Getting married to a single parent is not something I wanted but I have dated a lot of rubbish in this country, but this lady was nothing like them and letting her go is not something I want right now.
So my question to those that are married to single parent, what difficulties did u face in ur marriage?

Okay ! A few prelims. Marriage isn’t for everyone. Not everyone can stay faithful in a marriage. Even though marrying a woman without child has a higher percentage, Not every one will see out their marriages - divorce, death , separation etc.
That said, we both know Ngolo Kante and Richard Williams to mention a few.
It takes a certain mindset to marry someone who has had a child talkless of 3 kids. As I type my distant cousin and his wife are finalizing separating after 3 kids.
Due to society, he’s already dating but she has yet to find someone despite they both labelled as single parents.
As long as you satisfied with the response you got about the marriage break up . To me, Tribalism is a vague response. Why did it take after 3 kids before you said - “ this is what broke the camels back” , and therefore I am out !!!
However, if she ticks all boxes then develop the relationship and if you decide to escalate to marriage, don’t let my invitation get lost in the mail 😉
Softmirror: 🥴 This things are done DELIBERATELY to get that kind of following that crops out MONEY from lustful men.
It was for money but the recording and subsequent releasing by the love-vendor is what I don’t get . It could be her - screw you I quit based on the amount of money she may have made.
He should try PSG for 2 seasons before going for the money.
Unless Real Madrid come get him he’s not getting the CL with any other club. It seems money is the reason why he is leaving both sides apart … so if he wants money bag he can head out to Saudi Arabia
Angelfrost: Leaving will be a very smart decision... That would be leaving while the ovation is loudest.
They will definitely win this season's EPL, but that's also down to the deplorable state of their main top 4 oppositions:
Man City is having a nightmare for the first time in a long while Spurs is Deteriorating Chelsea is just starting to bud Man United continues to deteriorate as expected Arsenal remains a near-success syndrome club
They are a great team, but no guarantee of repeating this consecutively.
Above all... Salah has conquered the EPL, just like Ronaldo!
Time to try other leagues, like France (He will be massive under Luis Enrique).
phemmie06: Which sensible investor would like to come to Nigeria. Australia government gave travelling warning instead of Nigeria to wake up and do the needful I FG also issued travelling warning to her citizens in Australia. What a shame
lol 😝… what hasn’t a Nigerian in Australia not witnessed in his own backyard !!! Nonsense warning ⚠️
What’s the purpose of NIN registration if you can’t trace who called whom and when. I mean can’t you trace the call after some certain minutes to the nearest mobile tower or are all these things in movies lies ? I heard you can all receive an amber Alert or disaster alert if you’re in a weather impacted area despite not being from NANPA . The technology is there why aren’t we procuring it and using it ? Call it experts and let’s rid ourselves of this disease.
Yahayaaminat123: Is single mom a crime or a deadly disease??
It’s not … it’s a result of the society you live in . A few men may not mind but family members will frown upon it . I know some aunties who would ask their kids to call them auntie instead of mum when their boyfriends are around so as to to scare the potential suitor and find an appropriate time to inform them. There is no magic pill however whomever has primary custody of the child usually ends up bearing the brunt .
Softmirror: 🥴 Is that all? Me, i was thinking I will read about you helping the poor and the needy with as much as possible as you can. Nawa for you o.
Even when there are beggars in every corner of New York City in America lol.
There might be beggars but there are social services. None of those beggars will starve to death nor lack a place to sleep except those that refuse to stay in a shelter. So I don’t think we can compare apples and oranges.
Daejumong: Should a pastor return money given to the church by a corrupt politician?
Some years back, a high ranking politician donated millions of dollars over a period of time to help the ministry of one of the biggest pastors in Nigeria. The pastor never queried him even though he knew it was beyond the scope of his salary!
Few years down the line, the politician was convicted of massive corruption and had his properties confiscated and bank accounts frozen!
The pastor does not believe he needs to return the money to the government! He believes it is God’s blessings and since he never knew it was acquired illegally, he has no need to give it back . The pastor in question is one of the biggest in Africa and worldwide!
Do you think the pastor is right? Is this similar to spoils of war in the Bible? Is this a case of the sinner’s wealth being stored for the righteous?
Proverbs 13:22: "A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous."
If the Pastor got a conscience. He would return every single dime. A pastor should be concerned about the source of an unusual large sum of offering that is brought to his attention . Money could be as a result of money laundering, theft. He could be sued as an accomplice or arrested.
GistMedia0: A young Nigerian man was left distraught after his newly purchased luxury car, a GLK Benz, which he claimed he bought for 27 million naira, was severely damaged following a dramatic encounter with police officers in Benin, Nigeria.
According to reports, the incident began when the policemen allegedly spotted the young man driving the luxury vehicle. Suspecting him of wrongdoing, they launched a high-speed chase in an attempt to arrest him. The pursuit took a dangerous turn as the young man, while trying to evade the officers, lost control of the car and collided with another vehicle. The crash left his prized Benz severely damaged, alongside the other vehicle.
Visibly heartbroken, the young man repeatedly cried out, claiming, "I did nothing to them. They just started chasing me for no reason!" Eyewitnesses at the scene corroborated his claim, stating that the officers appeared to be acting without provocation.
As a crowd gathered around the wreckage, the police officers were seen attempting to explain their actions to the growing number of onlookers, who angrily accused them of recklessness and unnecessary aggression.
If you were not guilty you wouldn’t have ran. Plus you stated they were police - more reason not to run. If you had said they had an unmarked vehicle you could have my sympathy. Hope you bought insurance ….
Celestialsword: nothing, they have no other option than to let him in as the chief security officer in the state.
Why would he come to a private gathering uninvited ? In someone’s house. He can walk the street outside but coming uninvited is a breach of privacy and his own security. How would he know the place he is going don’t have private security or thugs. A VIP security team would send an away team to beef up security before arrival. In any case it’s a NO. Governor or president can’t just show up at my door uninvited.
Kobicove: What about the bastards who gave approval for these degenerates to adopt innocent children...I hope they also got stiff punishment!
Damn !! Kids that were supposed to trust can you imagine how confused those children will become in future asking themselves what they did to deserve the abuse.
