Stealing from the pot! Crazy

I think the year was 1995 or so. She had just prepared this crazy Turkey stew with Ewedu. As was her usual practice, she had already diced 'our size' and having laboured so hard that day to see the soup come alive (I grinded the pepper on a stone), she served us and I was terribly disappointed in the meat. It looked so tiny that I ate with rage that afternoon.

While eating, I was scheming on how to get even and be satisfied. She noticed how displeased I was but pretended and went about her business. When I noticed she had gone to the bathroom to bathe, I went for the soup in the wooden cupboard it was kept in, brought it down from the compartment, opened it and started looking around for a spoon but found none. I returned to the pot of soup which had massive meats everywhere in it and dipped my hand into it to take one big turkey meat.

The burn was crazy but my sheer determination to succeed made me immune to the pain. After combing for seconds I grabbed what I thought was the biggest and as I took it out, I heard a voice like God spoke to Samuel; 'take it out and you're dead'. Looked up and saw my mum stand over me with a towel on her shoulder and water dripping from her body.

I forced a smile and explained that I was washing the turkey. She was mad. Before she turned to do whatever, I bolted out of the house, but remained in the compound while I mainted over 20m distance.

I thought she'd run after me that day but she never did and that was when this cool breeze blew my way. The feeling of rage I earlier had had been replaced with regret and self pity.

Anyways, I stayed out till about 8pm from that afternoon before she invited me inside to sleep in a cool, calm tone I totally believed. How foolish.

I proceeded with caution and slept with one eyes open for about an hour before another voice called out to me to wake up. The time was around 2am at this point and there she was, standing over me again with her dreaded cane. I swallowed spit and thought 'this is it, the end of the world'.

Interestingly, she didn't beat me that night as I had hoped. Rather, I did both frog jump, and some crazy punishments till 7am that I couldn't stand to walk right in the morning. The tears and the litre of mucuos that ran from my ears, mouth and nose that day is still fresh in my heart till date.


It was my first attempt ever and I was caught in the act. It never crossed my mind to steal from her pot again.

With the breaking news of the Supreme Court's Decision to remove David Lyon as Bayelsa State Governor, I remember that last year he visited The SCOAN with the intention of sharing testimony. However, TB Joshua said it was not yet time for him to share the testimony and that it would be too early for him to celebrate until after the inauguration. He added that Lyon was banking on people's prayers.

Was the warning unheeded?

He said 'this is not your testimony. This will come after your inauguration'. I'm sure he meant his introduction at that time wasn't Lyon's testimony service which every normal pastor would do or say. How is that a prediction?

They have started again. Continue plucking each other out like ripe apples while South Africans watch on and use them as rage practice afterward.

If siblings could do this to themselves in the name of failed transaction and in the presence of South African police officers, I wonder what goes on in the absence of security officials when the eyes around are limited.

The social media arm of Jonathan way back have all disappeared from the forum even though they backed his ineptitude and cluelessness.

What Sowore is on to is needed and shouldn't even be a court case if the man at the centre is one who is sane enough to know what the rule of law means.

And as much as you come on here everyday to defend a man who isn't aware of your existence, I am dead sure the pangs of his misrule is still felt by you as with others who support him.

These reactions are not necessary as the revealed parts are but excerpts. I am sure there are other parts of the bill that are directed at the officers themselves, which will cripple their power in a way.

So this clown has turned a cute baby as that into a secondary smoker already? I pray some government agency representatives have some time on their hands to go through this thread today and find a way to nab.

We'll all be here the day you'll come begging for contributions to support your failing lungs.

u are mistaking metaphor 4 simile

Riele:
No !

It's simile that uses identifiers "as" and "like"

Metaphor is a direct comparison

I just realised that, thanks. Love is greatly exaggerated in the initial post.

Riele:
Metaphor , I guess .

***Ocean of love ***

'Ocean of Love' here is greatly exaggerated as the ocean is known to be vast and covers almost all surfaces or areas of the earth. The proper FOS here is hyperbole.

(am though not a novice to ladies bro...)

Trust me, you are. You have a date on your hands already. Typically, the idea is that you take her out and enjoy the moment together.

Not to discredit her person but you just set up yourself for something unpleasant particularly if you expect more after Valentine.

Yahoo boys or not, this is nothing but human rights abuse. You don't put people in a place like some common criminal when they are either suspects or profiled to be fraudsters.

It is worrisome that those guys are topless. Any of them might catch a nasty flu or even die due to cold directed at their bare chest.

They should be released if the EFCC isn't willing to try them. Even sardines live better in their cans these days as they have been reduced from 4 to 3.

And that's why we keep having problems

Instead of ladies to use number 6 to take care of their homes, they are subconsciously flexing muscles.
We destroy everything in our quest for power.
Who losses at the end of the day, women.
Check out all divorced people out there. I hardly hear or see a divorced man because as soon as u are gone, he moves on.
What about divorced woman? At every corner, she carry the tag of a divorcee.
So hard to get married again. Even if she moved out with the kids, when they grow, they will go back to their dad.
When odds are against u due to the patriarchal system we practice, why not apply wisdom in marriage.

Has it occurred to these ladies there is something called winning over?
U can win over your so called wicked in-laws. Who don't want to be surrounded with people who love her?
Women are very subtle when they chose to be and very wise. Use that wisdom to win over your husband's family instead of fighting them always.
Who gains more? U.
U have your husband's undivided attention as well as his family. U wanna get your husband's undivided attention even if he is the devil? Take his family as yours.
Your family are not perfect and the best out there. U just endure them cos u love them
Endure your husband's people too. Are u as a person even perfect.
U can as well walk into your nebors house to cause trouble knowing u have people backing you( rhetorically)

Too much nollywood. Territorialism has destryed more families than it build.

If you are married, kindly remind hubby he is possession of a gold mine! There is excess oil in your head, lady!!!

The place of tact is lost to many ladies today as they are all about 'my husband and I, and our space', forgetting the Nigerian setting is an extended type family setting.

An interesting worthy of note is that most of the ladies on the thread championing what not are probably younger, unmarried and yet to really see life as it is. The ones who are probably married are enduring 'gbas gbos', 'do me I do you' moments in their homes as you correctly implied. Of course, getting married is not the ultimate but the key to finding true happiness is finding peace with everyone.

You read some things and can't help come to terms with the fact that the people behind took stones and built a castle in the air.

I wish there is a way to like a post multiple times. Bless you!

Thanks for blushing. Lol!! Well, I couldn't start the name registration with CAC because I was quite busy with school work. I own the school( Possibilities International School) and we just started in September '19. I will be going to the Cyber cafe this morning to reserve the name. Please how much did you spend for everything??( Name reservation and Certificate of Incorporation)

Oh! Nice!!!

If you are only going to reserve a name today, you'll spend less than N700 (about N600 plus sha). That's it. However, if you are planning on getting everything over with at once, you'll need about N11,500. Business Name registration in itself is just N10,000. Remita charges will push the whole thing around N11,500.

Then you'll be required to fill the Form 2 and upload to the CAC portal which means you should set aside N500 for scanning. Also, you'll need to affix a passport to your form before scanning and uploading to the portal.

What you'll eventually upload

1. Form 2 (to be downloaded from your dashboard after paying the fee for business name registration) - Affix passport, sign, and upload.
2. CAC Notice of Approval
3. CAC payment receipt
4. Your ID (PVC, Passport, or NIMC slip) as a means of recognition.

(All of the above are to be printed, scanned and uploaded.)

However, since it's weekend, all you can do today is to reserve the name (less than N700, card payment). Other processes will start when the name has been approved.

NB: You'll be required to propose two names from which one will be chosen and approved. So your preferred should be first.

Fountainofyouth:
With the comments I read here, it is safe to say that marriages these days are definitely not the joining of two people to become one, it is a breeding arrangement and a long lasting safe sex, that is for those that won't cheat on their partner.

Lady, God bless your heart and head.

One thing I know for a fact is that there are many good people out there just as people with messed up mindsets. Marriage is a long walk and most think love is all there is to having a happy home.

IamgratefulLord:
I love reading your comments. I wish I could write like you.

Well, thank you

The comments come the mind is blank

JONNYSPUTE:
..Madam it's all shades of wrong for a wife to endorse the visiting,staying over, sleeping over of her wards and frown when the husband's relatives does same.My own is that if you don't want my people then I don't want yours. If you re ok with that,then I'm good to go .Have a nice day

This, right here, is what I subtly mentioned in my first post on this very thread.

The moment a woman feels she's comfortable with her family just because she's known them and their level of madness over the years, and wouldn't tolerate the other person's family is the period she starts losing her hold in the home.

bukatyne:
@bold:

I very well agree.

I fact, this is my mantra which is what I explained in one thread.

And I am a rights and responsibilities person.

The problem now arises when the in-laws (on husband's and wife's sides) do not know what their responsibilities are in the house or do not make themselves useful or see themselves as visitors (which is more prevailment from the in-laws on the husband's side). Not to say the wife's family are saintly however, they are more cautious because they do not 'want to ruin their sister's home' thingy.

My eyes have been greatly opened on marital issues, all thanks to an ongoing process. And one area I'd state that most women miss it is when they feel they can tell off hubby's family that their space is theirs. In the event that that happens, it results into a full blown war between a once adorable lady and a supposedly loving, close knit family.

It is not the place of the woman to stamp that or echo the idea of hubby's relative in being usefl aaround the house aroundnd this is where the talk of PROTECTION comes in. It is the prerogative of the man to protect his wife from his family because he best knows the kind of home he is coming from.

Unfortunately, some men come off as way too traditional in mindset and feels no woman born of another have the power to 'dictate' how his family should move IN HIS OWN HOME. If a woman 'strays' under a man with this mindset, it is likely her days in the house are numbered.

There are so many factors at play with these that women do not pay attention to.

1. The person they are marrying and his level of wisdom.
2. The family they are marrying into and their understanding of boundaries.
3. The man they are marrying and what his family expects of him.
4. The man they are marrying and the responsibilities that he inherited from his father.
5. The number of his siblings.
6. The man they are marrying and his understanding of leaving and cleaving.

Somehow, all of the above greatly contribute to whether or not a woman would die of boundary issues when wedding happens with that charming, handsome man.

We also do not buy the idea of extended stay on either side however can be accommodated on a case by case basis.

No one buys it. Young couples should not entertain live-in relatives, particularly for the first years they'll spend together.

In the end, it is all about maryying a man with a functioning brain.

PrimadonnaO:
I'd expect that you would have read everything carefully. And I'm only replying this because it is you.
So, first of all, where in that post did you read that hubby's relatives are not allowed to visit ot stay over? And in that very particular point you highlighted, I knew to state that I was playing the devil's advocate, meaning I was merely considering what it feels like for some women.

You inferred, which was why I emboldened those words. Besides, playing the devil's advocate sometimes mean we do so because we align with a particular opinion, regardless of how controversial it might look. That said, the idea basically isn't to fault your post. Yes, you had some salient points laid out but just like every message, there are subtle and major takeaways in every message that tend to destroy other parts of our messages and that, to me, did yours.

And it is important that everyone is conscious of the fact that living with people involves tolerance on both sides. While you're regarding and treating them as family, are they treating you in the same way? So, if a woman has to be catering and caring for the needs of people who still see her as an outsider, who have come with a truckload of entitlement, do you expect it would be a ride in the park?

Two contradictory points lumped in a sentence! First, it takes tolerance then you ask if it would be a ride in the park for people who see her as an outsider. Funny.

Question is, why do they still see the woman as an outsider? Was she not accepted with open arms when she showed up? Wasn't she treated right prior to marriage? Was it written in stone that the marriage wouldn't happen and it did?

My answer: I strongly believe most females start off with the backfoot with their in-laws and sometimes hope and pray the fvck up or hurt them pretty fast, just so they get on the defensive and draw the line pretty fast. How do you define someone who comes home with their son, act all courteous, get asked constantly if she needed a thing and she smiles sheepishly, claiming she is fine, get all the attention as 'our wife' only for the same set of people to see her as an outsider after wedding? How?

Having said all of that, did you note that I ended by categorically stating that should a relative still end up living with you, the least you can do is to be accommodating and loving?

Well, I did. And like I earlier mentioned, you laced a beautiful submission with the idea that you're more at home with your family, which is why you'll prefer them and to go the extra mile for them over 'strangers'. Interestingly, you did the same in this same post.

PrimadonnaO:
3. A lot of men raised the question of why women may have their own relatives living with them, but may not be very comfortable with hubby's relatives. Who runs the home? Who is attending to everybody's needs? Who is the caregiver? Let's try to be a bit objective here, please... sentiments aside... who do you think she'd more naturally and comfortably do these things for? Her family who she's known all her life, and who understand her perfectly, or your family that she's only recently getting to accept as part of the big picture? How often do you hear that men are having issues with the in-laws? Men by their very nature get around these things more easily. But women are quite emotional and handle matters differently. Also, the society plus family seem to have some sort of high expectations from the woman in marraige, all eyes are on her watching
how she conducts herself... the littlest thing that goes amiss and the table is broken. Why then would you want to put your wife in a situation where she's pressured to live up to those expectations? (I'm playing the devil's advocate here).

I was enjoying your submission until I got to this. This is wrong in every aspect and one of the major reasons for intolerance on the part of some men.

The idea of live-in relatives should not be one sided just because you've known your family since the time of creation. I personally think any woman who conveniently accommodates her family in her home but has issues with her husband's relatives visiting or coming over is wicked, insensitive and selfish.

A man's family should be the woman's and the woman's, the man's family. Anything short of this, particularly where one is unfair is witchcraft.

During a recent counselling class of mine, the counsellor said and I quote: 'there is no mother-in-law' anywhere.' I felt it after he finished with us because it dawned on me people only see what belong to them as theirs alone and what belong to the other as the other's, yet claim to be one and married.

There wouldn't be problems if you see your in-laws the way you see your family. If you cook for your family in your home and not grudgingly do the dishes, then why should that of your husband's family come with 'who is attending to everybody's needs?'

IamgratefulLord:
Many thanks! You are a smart ass. Lol!! Are you a doctor

Lol. Not at all. Not even close.

Jakasibo:
But he made mention of referencing the source severally

Perhaps you visit his site. He only made mention of referencing now. He is very notorious from lifting contents and laying claims to them.

Again, he wouldn't be in trouble if he referenced his source.

IamgratefulLord:
Ha!! Many thanks! I am grateful!! I'm so sorry to bother you o! I would have to log on to CAC website to reserve the name of the school. All payments ( reservation and the certificate) would be bank?? Please kindly tell me all the steps involved, So I can start even today.

Lol! It's nothing.

1. Log on to https://www.cac.gov.ng
2. Click or tap 'online registration' (this should take you to the CAC portal.
3. Create a username and a password.
4. Verify your email address
5. Resume by choosing a name on the portal.
6. Make payment online via Remita (total should be less than N700).
7. You'll get an email, a receipt of your payment (the name is reserved already)
8. Resume by registering a business with the name
9. Be detailed and clear with every information.
10. Save and Submit

The next phase would be to upload all documents, mostly that of payments. And evidence of name approval which will be on in your dashboard. That's it.

Once you've uploaded all documents, verification and approval will commence and this takes around 3-10 working days.

Very scary. My question is, how did this virus get born sef? Where has it been since forever or was it cloned? Please those with knowledge of bacteria and virus should tell us more.

The origin is one of the 'meat markets' in Wuhan, from the exotic animals being sold in the market.

The problem has been the issue of identifying the particular specie.

Conspiracy theorists however believed it was developed in a lab - bio-engineered.

The Wuhan Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), however seems to be the least aggressive of the three coronavirus outbreaks in history.

IamgratefulLord:
It's a school. I have a PGD in Education but our certificate isn't ready. Are you sure I won't require a proficiency certificate to register a school??

You will, no doubt but that will most likely be with the education board. All you'll do with the CAC is only a business name registration and your educational certificate is not required.

Jakasibo:
But why not petition the original source ( Nigerian Concord)?

Because the wanted never referenced his source. My guess is that the content was seen on Igberetv first and assumed to be the originator.

He wouldn't have found himself in this trouble if he referenced his source as that would have link to the original material.

http://igberetvnews.com/1336958/breaking-justice-abang-orders-efcc-dss-police-arrest-igbere-tv-boss-anyalekwa/

I knew it wouldn't take long before the publisher of IGBERETV runs into trouble.

You go to other reliable news sites, copy their contents and infuse 'recall Igberetv', 'Igberetv had earlier published...' and other Igberetv jargon that assert the contents are originally published by Igberetv.

Note to copy/paste Bloggers, do so honourably and ALWAYS REFERENCE your source. Beyond copyright infringement, just one content you lay claim to can get you into trouble.

IamgratefulLord:
Ah!! Thank you so much. What are credentials required?

None. Just make two payments, one for name check and reservation and the other, the exact amount for registration.

However, you'll need to upload generated documents on the CAC platform to a portal where they'll treat and approve your application.

IamgratefulLord:
How much will it cost me to register a school and what are the requirements ( credentials) from CAC??

Hi, if you haven't done this, don't think of going through any third party.

The process is so simple that you can do the whole thing yourself and get your registration approved within 5 working days.

Did mine last week and got approved within three days. Presently waiting to get the certificate of incorporation as it isn't ready yet.

Going through those guys or agents will make you spend an additional N15,000, at the least.

Are you aware that weaponized UAV drones require a special kind of training and a substation for it to function and the "weapons" have to be purchased internationally?


Anything you see you just run to and spew trash, there's no weaponized drone of that size, unless the drone is going to carry dust or pistol
