This new side of Man Cory does sems confident on the ball.

The phrase “side chick” has become almost ordinary in Nigerian conversations. You hear it in jokes, social media arguments, music, movies and everyday discussions about relationships. Some people even use the term casually, as though being involved with a married man is simply another form of dating.

But behind the jokes and social-media drama is a much deeper issue: what does the growing normalisation of side relationships say about relationships, marriage and society in Nigeria?

A side chick is generally understood as a woman who is romantically or sexually involved with a man who is already committed to another woman, usually his wife or long-term partner. Of course, not every woman involved with a married man knows that he is married. Some men deliberately lie about their marital status, claiming they are single, separated or already divorced.

That distinction matters.

But there is another side of this conversation that deserves attention: sometimes the side chick does not simply have an affair with the married man. She becomes part of his second life.

When the side chick becomes the second home

In some Nigerian relationships, the so-called side chick eventually becomes much more than someone a man meets secretly.

The married man may rent an apartment for her, furnish it, pay her bills, open businesses for her, provide domestic support and essentially establish another household.

He may spend weekdays with his wife and children and weekends with another woman.

He may tell his wife that he is travelling for business when he is actually going to the home he has created for his side partner.

At that point, it is difficult to describe the situation as simply “a man cheating.”

He is effectively maintaining two lives most especially in Owerri, where married rent an apartment separate from the apartment with their wife or Abk or even the Babaringa's in the green and red chambers

And sometimes the second home is so established that the woman becomes the man's unofficial second wife.

Some wives don't even know there is another family

This is where the situation becomes particularly painful.

There are cases where a married man deliberately keeps his first wife completely unaware that he has another household.

The wife may believe that her husband is working hard, travelling for business or investing his money, while some of that money is actually being used to maintain another woman and possibly another set of children.

Imagine discovering years later that the husband you thought was building your family's future has been simultaneously building another family somewhere else.

The betrayal is not only emotional.

It can also be financial, psychological and, depending on the circumstances, profoundly disruptive to the family.

Sometimes the man helps her hide the truth

There are also situations where the married man actively participates in deceiving the other woman about his marital status.

He may tell the side chick: “I'm not married.”

Or: “My wife and I are no longer together.”

Or:“We're only married on paper.”

Or: “I'm about to divorce her.”

The woman may believe him and build an entire relationship around that information.

This is why it is unfair to automatically assume that every woman dating a married man knowingly entered the situation.

Some women are genuinely deceived.

However, once she discovers the truth and chooses to continue, the moral responsibility changes.

And then comes the most shocking part: another marriage

In some cases, the relationship goes even further.

A married man may become so committed to his side relationship that he eventually marries the woman—sometimes without his first wife's knowledge.

The second woman may believe she is marrying a single or available man because that is what he has told her.

The man may conceal his existing marriage, hide his wife from her family, manipulate documents or simply construct a completely false story about his past.

Eventually, what started as a secret relationship becomes another marriage.

Now there are two women who may both believe they are the man's legitimate partner, while one of them has no idea the other exists.

This is no longer simply about “side chicks.”

It is about deliberate deception and the serious consequences that can follow when people build relationships on lies.

But let's talk about the married man

One mistake society often makes is putting almost all the blame on the side chick.

The married man is the person who made the commitment.

He is the one who stood before his family, friends, religious community or the law and made promises to his wife. If he cheats, he cannot simply blame another woman for his decision.

A woman who knowingly participates in an affair may be morally wrong, but the husband remains responsible for his own actions.

If a man tells his wife he is attending a business meeting while he is actually meeting another woman, the problem isn't that the side chick magically appeared.

The problem is that the husband chose deception.

And if he establishes another home, financially supports another family and eventually marries another woman behind his wife's back, he is making a series of deliberate decisions.

The side chick also has responsibility

None of this means women who knowingly date married men have no responsibility.

If you know a man is married and deliberately choose to become involved with him, you have made a conscious decision.

If you know he has a wife and children and still encourage him to abandon his responsibilities for you, there are consequences to that choice.

If you knowingly become involved in destroying another woman's home, you cannot completely remove yourself from the situation by saying:

“He was the one who approached me.”

He may have approached you, but you still have the right to say no.

At the same time, responsibility should remain proportional. The married man cannot escape accountability simply because another woman accepted his advances.

Children are often forgotten

Perhaps the most painful part of these situations is the children.

Adults may argue, cheat, marry other people and move on.

Children don't always have that luxury.

They may suddenly discover that their father has another family. They may watch their parents fight. They may experience financial changes because their father's resources are now divided between households.

Some children may even grow up wondering why their father spends more time somewhere else.

The adults may call it love.

The children may experience it as abandonment.

Money can make the situation worse

Nigeria's economic realities also play a role.

A financially comfortable married man may have the resources to maintain another household. He can pay rent, buy cars, provide monthly allowances, fund businesses and create a lifestyle that makes leaving the relationship difficult for the woman involved.

This can create a dangerous cycle.

The woman becomes financially dependent on the man.

The man becomes emotionally or sexually attached to the woman.

The wife remains unaware.

And everyone continues living a carefully constructed lie.

Until the lie eventually collapses.

Not every side relationship ends in marriage

It is important not to generalise.

Some married men maintain affairs for years without ever marrying the other woman.

Some eventually leave their wives.

Some return to their marriages.

Some lose both relationships.

Some side relationships end when the woman discovers that the man never intended to leave his wife.

And some men simply move from one woman to another.

There is no single outcome.

We need to stop romanticising deception

Social media sometimes presents the side-chick lifestyle as glamorous.

Designer bags.

Expensive restaurants.

Luxury apartments.

Foreign trips.

Cars.

Monthly allowances.

People laugh and say, “Find yourself a married man.”

But behind the luxury may be a wife who knows nothing about what is happening.

There may be children whose father's attention and resources are being divided.

There may be another woman who has been lied to about the man's marital status.

And there may be a man destroying several people's trust simply because he refuses to make an honest decision.

A lifestyle built on someone else's deception is not necessarily a success story.

If you want another woman, be honest

There is a simple principle that could prevent many of these situations:

- If you no longer want your marriage, deal with your marriage before starting another relationship.

- If you want to leave, leave honestly.

- If you want another relationship, tell the truth.

- If you want to marry another woman, do not make your existing wife discover the truth through social media, a neighbour, a family member or a confrontation on the street.

- And if you are the woman being approached by a supposedly single man, verify his story before building your life around him.

Because sometimes the person who says “I am single” is actually someone's husband.

The real problem is bigger than the “side chick”

The conversation should therefore move beyond simply insulting women as “side chicks.”

We need to talk about men who maintain double lives, women who knowingly participate in affairs, people who lie about their marital status, financial dependence, broken marriages and the effect of infidelity on children and families.

Not every woman with a married man is a homewrecker.

Not every married man who cheats is going to marry his side chick.

Not every side chick knows she is dealing with a married man.

But when everyone involved knows the truth and continues anyway, they all have choices to make.

At the end of the day, the issue isn't whether society calls her a side chick, mistress, second wife or girlfriend.

The real question is:

How many people are being hurt to sustain the relationship, and how much of it is built on lies?

Because when a married man builds a second home, maintains another family and eventually marries another woman without the knowledge of his first wife, the situation has gone far beyond an ordinary affair.

It has become a second life built behind someone's back.

The phrase “side chick” has become almost ordinary in Nigerian conversations. You hear it in jokes, social media arguments, music, movies and everyday discussions about relationships.

Honestly, Nigeria needs to seriously consider having a law like this.

If a third party knowingly interferes in a marriage and deliberately helps destroy a home, there should be some form of legal accountability. Marriage is not just a relationship between two people; it comes with responsibilities and consequences when someone intentionally interferes.

But let’s be honest about what would happen in Nigeria if such a law becomes reality 😂. A lot of side chicks would suddenly start losing their “investments,” because many of them are being sponsored, housed, financed and spoiled by married men.

The truth is that some married men are the biggest sponsors of these relationships. Remove the money, gifts, cars, rent and other benefits, and many of these so-called “side relationships” may not survive.

That said, accountability should not be one-sided. The married person who made the commitment and chose to cheat should also face the consequences of their actions. You cannot blame only the outsider when the person who owes you loyalty willingly opened the door.

Maybe a Nigerian version of a “homewrecker law” would make people think twice before deliberately getting involved in someone else's marriage—and it might even save some homes.

Rapmoney:
A woman has confronted her husband and his side chick on the road in broad daylight. The husband lied to the wife that he was attending a meeting, but the wife drove her car and trailed him only to see him picking up a girl who had been waiting for him on the way. This happened at IMSU gate, Owerri, Imo State.

If financially stable men in Nigeria decide to stay faithful to their wives, many young girls will eat stones and bottles as food, because they would lose their livelihood. Relationship with married men is now an occupation among many Nigerian girls.

Honestly, I don't think the wife should have reduced herself to confronting the side chick on the road. The person who owed her loyalty was her husband, not the woman he chose to pick up.

If you have caught your husband lying about where he is going and you have enough evidence to know he is seeing another woman, confront the man and make a decision about the marriage. If the betrayal is something you cannot live with, walk away with your dignity. Fighting or confronting the other woman only shifts the focus from the person who made the commitment to you.

And let's be honest about another uncomfortable reality: there are many married men who maintain relationships with single women in Nigeria. For some of these women, that relationship has become a source of financial support and, in some cases, their livelihood.

That doesn't make cheating right, and it certainly doesn't justify destroying another woman's marriage. But pretending that married men don't contribute to the situation is also being dishonest.

If financially comfortable married men suddenly decided to remain completely faithful, some women who currently depend on these relationships would definitely feel the financial impact. That's not something to celebrate; it's a reflection of a deeper social and economic problem.

So, ladies, if you catch your husband with another woman, remember who made the vow to you. Face the man, make your decision, and protect your dignity. Don't fight another woman over a man who willingly chose to be unfaithful.

How many years did you wait before repainting your building?

To be sincere, the painter used quality paint for me back then. If not for the renovation, I honestly wouldn’t have bothered repainting the building.

8 YEARS LATER, and the paint still held up! 👌🏽

Quality materials really matter. 💯

TheStoriesOfMan:
That is why Chelsea needs a good midfield. Attackers wins you game by scoring goals but if the creativity is absent at the midfield/defense, the hardwork can be undone.

If Chelsea has had personnel to exploit Arsenal's midfield, it would have been a different ballgame today.

Chelsea didn’t necessarily lack creativity; they struggled to control the spaces where Arsenal wanted to play.
Arsenal’s midfield was able to dictate the tempo because Chelsea didn’t consistently press or disrupt the buildup effectively. And when Chelsea did win the ball, the transition into attack wasn’t quick or precise enough.
A good midfield is not just about creating chances—it’s about winning the ball, controlling the tempo, progressing possession and giving your attackers the platform to hurt the opposition. If Chelsea improve that balance, games like this can look very different.

Starhearts:
U argue off d points ....

This has been a very open, high-tempo London derby, but Arsenal are the side I feel have had the better first half overall.

Chelsea got the dream start through Morgan Rogers after just two minutes, but Arsenal didn't panic. They gradually took control of possession and territory, and the numbers back that up: 58% possession, 10 shots to Chelsea's 6 and 1.12–0.10 on xG.

Arsenal's biggest positive: their ability to keep getting into Chelsea's defensive third. Saka, Ødegaard and Calafiori have been involved in creating pressure, while Chelsea's back three has looked vulnerable when Arsenal move the ball quickly from side to side.

Chelsea's threat: the counterattack. Alonso's side are not trying to dominate possession; they're looking to exploit the space Arsenal leave when they commit numbers forward. Rogers and João Pedro remain dangerous if Arsenal lose the ball cheaply.


What decides the second half?

For me, it's whether Chelsea can survive Arsenal's sustained pressure. Chelsea have already shown they can hurt Arsenal, but their defensive record remains a concern — they came into this match without a league clean sheet in 18 straight games.

Arteta will probably tell Arsenal to keep doing what they're doing but be more ruthless in the final third. Chelsea need to slow the game down and stop allowing Arsenal to repeatedly attack their defensive line.

My second-half prediction

I'm backing Arsenal to win this.

Prediction: Arsenal 2–1 Chelsea

I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal score between 60–75 minutes, particularly if Chelsea continue sitting deep and allowing Arsenal possession around the box.

My confidence: Arsenal win 60% | Draw 25% | Chelsea win 15%.

The pre-match models also favoured Arsenal, with one model giving them a 54.9% chance of winning and 2–1 as the most likely scoreline.

Verdict: Arsenal have been the better team; Chelsea have been the more dangerous team when Arsenal make mistakes. If Arsenal clean up those transitions, I expect them to take all three points.

Lol. Convert the price of 525 to $ at N1,400/$. The 120b OS will give a valuation of $45b. At this valuation if they were to say make the OS 20b, which is the type of OS we are used to, the share price will come to N3,150.00. With this the same people complaining that 120b OS is too high will say they are being priced out. So Alhaji really wants the common man to have a shot at owning pieces of the refinery. But Alhaji may also be targeting something in return. Imagine the price moves to N1500 in 2yrs. He will be worth over $100b on the Forbes billionaire list.

Refinery with similar capacity around the world are valued between $(17-18)bn, why is alhaji own vakaued almost times two with it contemporary?

Honestly, ₱13 billion is a staggering amount of money to spend on a worship centre, regardless of how impressive the building looks.

Yes, 75,000 seats is massive. Yes, the architecture is impressive. And yes, having a facility that can host concerts, sports and other major events can bring economic benefits to Davao.

But we should also be willing to ask the uncomfortable question: what is the bigger purpose of such a massive investment?

A building can accommodate 75,000 people, but that alone doesn't make it a blessing to society. The real measure should be what impact it has on people's lives beyond the walls of the building.

If billions can be raised for a religious project of this magnitude, imagine the schools, hospitals, scholarships, housing projects, businesses and community programmes that could also be funded with a similar level of commitment.

I'm not against churches building beautiful worship centres. Far from it. But when we celebrate the size and cost of a religious building, we should also ask whether the same energy is being invested in improving the lives of the people worshipping inside it.

A magnificent building is impressive.

A magnificent impact on human lives is even more impressive.

Chineses now opening shops in Nigeria

Won't this have a negative effect on small scale businesses and throw ordinary Nigerians off self employment?

I heard They hawk phones, electric gadgets etc

China Town
China village
China market
China stores
China farm
China mall

What's the government saying on this?


This should not be allowed to continue.

They can come set up factories, employ Nigerians to work.

Not come here set up shop to start selling things.


We are already suffering from high unemployment

I understand the concern about Nigerian traders and unemployment, but I don't think the solution is to say foreigners should only build factories and not open shops.

Let's be careful here.

If a Chinese-owned shop is operating legally, paying taxes, complying with Nigerian laws and employing Nigerians, why should we automatically say it must not be allowed?

Nigerian businesses also compete aggressively with one another every day. A Nigerian electronics dealer can open a shop beside another Nigerian electronics dealer. That's business. The real question should be whether everyone is playing by the same rules.

If foreign businesses are getting illegal advantages, avoiding taxes, violating immigration or investment regulations, importing goods illegally, or operating in sectors restricted to Nigerians, then government should absolutely investigate and enforce the law.

But if the business is legitimate, the focus should be on creating a level playing field—not on the nationality of the business owner.

In fact, Chinese investment can potentially bring capital, cheaper products, technology, supply-chain connections and employment opportunities. The problem isn't necessarily that Chinese people are doing business in Nigeria.

The problem is whether Nigeria has strong enough policies to make that investment work for Nigerians too.

Instead of simply saying “they shouldn't open shops,” perhaps we should be asking:

Why is it so difficult for Nigerian businesses to access cheap capital?

Why are electricity and logistics so expensive?

Why can't local manufacturers produce competitively?

Why do Nigerian traders have to travel abroad to source the same goods?

Why are our borders and tax systems so poorly managed?

Why aren't we creating an environment where Nigerian businesses can grow into companies capable of competing with international businesses?

Because banning competition won't automatically make Nigerian businesses stronger.

Better policies will.

If government wants foreign investors to manufacture locally, create jobs and transfer technology, then give them incentives to do exactly that. At the same time, give Nigerian entrepreneurs access to affordable financing, infrastructure and a fair regulatory environment.

Let's protect Nigerian businesses, yes.

But let's not turn legitimate foreign investment into the enemy.

The goal should not be “Chinese out.” The goal should be “Nigerians must not be disadvantaged.”

That's a much more sensible conversation.

Honestly, this may look like “just a map,” but it is much bigger than that.

For generations, many of us grew up looking at maps where Africa appeared almost comparable in size to Greenland. Meanwhile, Africa is roughly 14 times larger than Greenland. When you see that distortion repeatedly—in classrooms, textbooks, offices and on screens—it can quietly shape how people understand the world.

That is why I support the #CorrectTheMap campaign.

Africa does not need anyone to make it look bigger than it is. We simply need it represented as it actually is. Facts don't need propaganda.

And this is not about saying the Mercator projection was created specifically to insult Africa. It was designed for particular navigational purposes, and map projections inevitably involve distortions. But when one particular projection becomes the default way generations of people visualize the world, the distortions deserve to be questioned.

The Equal Earth projection offers a much fairer representation of the actual surface area of continents and countries. That matters because maps are not merely drawings—they are educational tools that influence how we visualize geography and, to some extent, how we understand our place in the world.

So yes, Correct the Map.

Not because Africa needs special treatment.

Not because Africa wants to rewrite history.

But because if the map is supposed to represent the world, let the world be represented accurately.

And perhaps the bigger lesson is this: sometimes the things we have accepted as “normal” for generations deserve to be questioned.

The number of the board if directors in their website especially the Nigeria BOD is kind strange.

Here we go. Another oil money. Who knows this company

May all your heart desired be met IJN

Jackson is not bad if you ask me as that the type of club he should be playing for. Watkins went for the money.

Angelfrost:
I know, hence my post...!

The decision to take Jackson over Watkins still can't sit well with me.

It makes no coaching sense whatsoever.


...And they even sold Morgan to Chelsea too.


Hmmm... Well, that's a real GAMBLE.

Arsenal I am a bit disappointed with their game this evening

City has a big defence problem.

Nothing young about Foden anymore

The earlier city admit he is past his best, the better for them

That’s a bit too quick to write Foden off. 😂 He’s still young enough to rediscover his best form, and a dip in form doesn’t suddenly mean a player is “past his best.” City would be making a huge mistake if they judged him solely on a difficult spell. The real question is whether they can get him back to playing with the confidence and freedom that made him one of their best players in the first place.
