.....get a dollar paypal account.

I am writing to ask if you can help me to persuade my husband to do less around the house. I am worried that he is going to make himself ill from exhaustion. Also, and it is hard for me to say this to him without being hurtful, I married him for his fun personality not his work ethic and I fear I am losing him to domestic drudgery. I want an equal partner, not a slave.

We have a toddler and a baby, born few months ago. During the pregnancy, I was quite tired and run down and my darling, supportive husband started to do more and more around the house and with our son (and despite a full-time, responsible job, he has always done more than his fair share of housework). I am now breastfeeding the baby, which is tough because he barely stops feeding and won't really nap anywhere except in my arms.

So this leaves my husband doing the shopping, tidying, washing and cooking. He gets up at 6am every morning to get our toddler ready for nursery, with a packed lunch, and he drops him off before he can get himself off to work. Meanwhile, I just sit around feeding the baby!

I feel permanently guilty and as if the only way I will get my husband to do less is if I do more. The thing is that I can walk away from mess and he can't.

I hugely appreciate him helping, but, beyond the basics, would rather see him sleeping or even cuddling me on the sofa rather than trying to be on top of everything. I love my husband – he is truly the sweetest, most loving, most wonderful lover and father, but I find myself resenting the fact that I barely see his fun side these days because he is so tired that he is essentially ill – and I can't help thinking it is at least partly self-inflicted

This is what I heard day before yesterday I was wondering about it.

This scam was very popular in Lagos in the early parts of the last decade and it's finding it's way back. It's called The seven pillar/junction scam.

The protagonist of this scam usually involve a Seer and one or two testifiers.

My Experience

I was jejely returning to Lagos from school, I schooled in Delta state. I alighted from the bus in Ojota. Since I live in Ketu, I thought it's easier trekking the about 1.5km that separates the 2 bus stops rather than getting stuck in Lagos traffic, plus having sat in a bus for over 6 hours I could afford to stretch my legs with the stroll.

This was the Fashola Lagos where you don't have all those railings separating the road, so quite a number of people were trekking the distance also.

Now the scam. Maybe because I was just returning to Lagos, my awareness level was on high alert both spiritually and positionally.

In my case, an innocent looking middle aged woman approached me to seek direction to somewhere in Ikosi side of ketu to which I responded that I don't know that when she gets to Ketu bus stop, she should ask police officers to which she said thanks and started praying for me.

I continued walking briskly towards Ketu hoping to leave her behind, she was doing her very best to keep up and just before the overhead bridge that leads to Island, she was approached by the testifiers.

The aim of the testifiers is to give credence to whatever she says by laying claim that the visions she saw and instructions she gave concerning them in a prior meeting came off as she speculated.

Back to my story, in this case the testifier( a man also in his late forties to early fifties) was giving thanks that the seer helped him with something I can't recall as I was not paying attention to them. Then he tapped me to thank the Seer on his behalf. To which I did as now I under the bridge in the night around 8 I don't want to let any altercation happen in a place that dark.

Thinking I was conned by this antic, she proceeds to start giving prophecies about me, stating the obvious and guessing the rest of the guesses, none was correct but I played her into believing I'm jinxed by saying all was exact.

So getting to the park of the BRT in the Ketu side of the bridge, she said my non-existent Muslim step mother want to have me dead using diabolical means( truthfully, I'm from a polygamous family but we are all Christians) to which she said if I'm to be delivered, I would need to go to seven junctions in busy Lagos and shout Halleluyah, I can not take anything foreign on my body other than my clothes and footwear even my phone and bags I must drop. She said she would look after it for me and when I teased her that how am I to trust her, the accomplice the testifier said he will act as a watchman too.

Having had the conversation going a while now and my getting to the place I need to leave the middle pavement to cross and get a bus going home. I told them good night that I can't fall for that.

The look of shock on their face was priceless, I had informed them I had laptops (mine and that of a friend) in my bag and some other stuffs I own as a student, they must have been thinking of how to dispose them off in Computer village.

Lesson's learnt:

-Don't give direction to anyone, direct them to police officer.
-Don't call their bluffs if you are in an isolated area.
-Be discerning, not everything sounding spiritual is spiritual.
Footnote:

There are other scams in Lagos I have encountered or heard of, like:

The bonanza scam of Island.
The direction scam.
…
But in all this by been vigilant and not greedy, one will not fall prey easily.

Also, ensure you only ask for direction from uniformed officers do well to check the name on the badge too.

You can never be too careful in Nigeria.

You are still going to subscribe for netflix and other streaming services on the cyberstick. The cyberstick itself doesn't charge for subscription.

Hello Nairalanders!

I’m reaching out for some help. I graduated from university a year ago and I've been on the lookout for a job ever since, but things haven't fallen into place just yet. I don't have the funds to learn new skills, and I'm currently crashing with friends because I don't have a place of my own.

I'm hoping someone here might have some advice or know of job opportunities. I'm eager to work and I'm really keen on finding a job to at least take care of my basic needs. Hunger is terribly dealing with me. Any suggestions or leads you can offer would mean the world to me. Whether it's job openings, advice on gaining new skills without spending much money, or any other resources, I'd be so grateful for your help.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Your support and guidance could make a big difference in getting me back on my feet. Your help could be the stepping stone I need.

Thanks in anticipation!
