Christianity EtcRe: Pope To Young Italians: Don't Be Selfish, We Need More Children Than Pets by scrolldown88:
Lol
I find it funny that people who have decided not to have kids are considered selfish. Especially when the sole reason behind most people desire to have kids is inherently selfish. No body wants to have kids for the good of the kids. It's always to gratify the parents desire.

So this people want us to 'keep feeding the machine ' abi. Give birth to more people to come continue the rat race. And to what end I ask?

Now giving that this is a pope speaking let's consider the religious end for a minute. Christians believe that the final destination of every individual can be heaven or hell.... depending on who you believe. People who believe in Christ to save them will go to heaven while everybody else goes to hell. Considering this, we can say there's a 50% chance that your child will be born in this world and end up in hell forever.
I don't like those odds.
And it seems like wickedness to bring a child into this world when you know that those are the odds. No child would take that deal if it was possible to ask them before giving birth to them.

This is the first mistake married people make. Putting your business and conversation online suggest that you welcome the general public to air their opinion on the state of affairs in your home. Now there's alot of lunatic online, and they are going to have opinions that will (wether you like it or not) directly or indirectly affect your relationship with your spouse.

Creed is also played out. They should just stop already. Storyline was ok, but acting and directing was lacking. Unlike the previous installments, this current one was rushed. No intensed moments. I am a diehard boxing fan, and I dare say the boxers reality wasn't portrayed in the movie.

Not to get you alarmed, but just yesterday I was reading on qoara how a seamstress mistakenly swallowed a needle. The needle went and lodged in her lungs, so she had to be operated. Now I know a needle and a tooth pick are not the same, but you gotta agree that they're pretty similar

You got the dog's breed wrong, it's actually Boerboel not boa bull.
It's a serious case, to some of us who happen to be passionate animal lovers, dogs are not just mere creatures that can be discarded at will. There is a high tendency for some people to have a strong bond with their furbabies and it's completely normal.
Tell your man that you should start feeding the dog (with his supervision of course). Dogs tend to get close to whoever is giving them good care and attention. It won't take too long before the dog stops getting territorial around you.
Ah bros you want her to poison the dog? Dog that she's planning to kill, you now now saying 'tell your man to let you feed the dog '. Hmm enemies plenty for this boyfriend head oh.

Hello lady, please don't start feeding the dog. I beg you with Dog.... sorry God. Don't feed the dog. Just leave the guy and his dog alone, and focus on feeding yourself.

PS: this is also a joke...
It's not.
RomanceRe: Unpopular Opinion: Marriage Is For Women Alone by scrolldown88: 12:20pm On Apr 14, 2023
engrrichie92:
People get married because of several reasons
I did because I thought I met my partner in destiny...we shared similar vision, goals and aspirations at the time

But 1 year down the line, marriage ain't meeting my expectations at all
It is all about the woman...what she wants and how you must always meet her needs, how you have to make sure she's always happy
The thing here is ...it never ends

Have I spoken to my wife?
Yes, severally
But she never seems to understand me...
Now I realise why men just go mute over the years...we are not quiet, we are just tired
Tired of saying thesame thing without getting result so we would rather just keep quiet

The new song is "I want a child..." and then comes with the child has to be born in US, etc

I am honestly tired in advance
Sometimes I think of leaving this house and not coming back
I pretend to be happy to make her happy...but honestly I am not

Marriage is hard!
Why don't you want a child
FamilyRe: Frustrated With My Wife by scrolldown88: 9:02pm On Apr 10, 2023
tomi4life:
I am 35 and my wife is 29, we have been married for 6 years now, we have 2 children a boy and a girl. We didnt court much during our courtship because of long distance.

I really have a problem with my wife and not sure what can be done to address, now I must be very honest am not sure there is anything I can do I just want to use the platform to vent my frustration.

My marriage has not been very good, lately myself and my wife leave like room mates and not lovers, despite the age difference between me and my wife she doesnt really respect me. For the 6 years we have been in marriage 3 things have caused all our fights: cooking, Sex and finance

My wife rarely cooks in the house, things around welfare are not taken seriously, actually in a week, my wife can cook for me just 1 time. She cooks for the children and baths for them daily, we also have a help who does alot of cooking. She rarely askes me what I will eat, honestly I always have to go to the kitchen to sort myself, sometimes I buy food outside from eateries and bucker. Sometimes when she cooks it usually very late 10pm. I have complained severally and what happen is she tries to change, after a week, we are back to the same state. My wife can do without cooking for me for weeks. It really really pains me cos am a foody and I knw hw my mum treats matters of food. she is this person that forms busy, either she is busy with work or some church activities, she always has an excuse. She goes to work only ones a weeks the remaining 4days are remote. To address this issue I now order soups from major restaurant outlets, An example is today easter sunday, I had to tell our maid to prepare rice for myself and the kids, cos my wife was in church, we all went to church but she decided to stay back, knowing fully well no food was prepared.

Sex: [/b]our sex life is very boring, when we got married we always fight about sex, cos anytime I ask for it she always complain she is tired, so what I now do is ask for it only sat morning, brethen this is only day I get sex. If I miss that day, it is still next week. We sleep in different rooms, she sleeps with the children in the master bedroom while I sleep alone in another room. I can tell most time she doesnt enjoy it and never ever askes for it, I always ask and initiate it. She just lays like a log, even kisses is a no no, except she is really on, which rarely happens.
[b]
Finance:
I have always earned more than my wife, when we got married, I was earning 3 times what she was earning, but she changed jobs and got promoted severally and we were earning the same amount. she also does alot of side runs where she gets 200-300k monthly as side hustle, there was even a time she was earning more than I did. I dint let it bother me I continue to foot the entire house bills. 95% of the enitre house of comes from me, she only pays the maid , buys cooking gas and my sons diaper. Every other thing in the house is covered by me, house rent, school fees, project, all the bills. I give her 75k as food money monthly. I have continue to question her why I should give her food moeny if I still have to end up going out to eat. I think the only reason she sometime listens to me is cause i still provide the finances for the house. The time she was earning more I could see how she belittle some of my decisions. I just prayed to God, cos I noticed the respect was gone, when I talk to her about her role as a mum and mother to the home, she says she is working, she is busy, I mentioned to her that the money she works is for her, she doesnt share with the house, I have never asked her for it and am not against her working, she however should not neglect her responsibility as a mum. That my role as a father, God helping me is to provide, and this is why I work. I also noticed when I got a new job and my salary increased she kinda off felt jealous she didnt tell me but i noticed it, she began to aggressively look for jobs.


I really dont think we have that initmacy, we are just there, my wife cant come to tell me anything bothering her, she keeps to herself. Funny part is she is a very religious person, my wife will sleep with bible on her hand, wake up with bible pray and serve in various church unit, I however dont think she really understands what she reads. She also has a very bad temper sometimes when I raise certian issues, the ways she talks sometimes I have to hold back a response if not the whole thing will escalate. There are days I will raise certain issue up, the next things she mentions is " let just dissolve this marriage as it is not working" sometimes , I just refer her to her bible cos the utterances that come out of her mouth makes me doubt her understanding of Christianity.


I have never assaulted her, we have nt had any physically fight, what happens is most times when we have issues, I dont speak to her for days, then she come back apologizing. Sometimes when am wrong I also apologies.

Am not saying am perfect, I know there are areas I can do better, like in the buying off gift, I rarely buy her gift, not cause I cant but Cos she earns well and I believe she should buy whatever she needs with her money my wife earns approximately 800k monthy.


I expect my wife will support me but it like she is stressing me. when we go see my parent or our parent, it is all smiles, they dont knw hw stressful their daughter is, she even forms trying to serve me food and all.

Dont get me wrong she has some good side, but this thing is really getting into me. I dont drink, smoke or womanise, divorce is also not on the table for me.
I'm making this suggestion since you said divorce is not an option for you. I think you guys need a time out to recreate the feeling of love, affection, sense of duty and respect that made you get married to each other. You know, rekindle the flames. So I'm suggesting a time away from everything. Let it be just the both of you. Go on some vacation where you can find time to focus on each other. Play fun games and activities together and get back that initial binding force. Since you both work, you can plan this get away on your leave period so you're not distracted by work. Hopefully this works. It suck to be in a marriage where you have to live with the person in the mist of this kind of issues.
Also when you get back from the vacation you guy should still find activities that you both enjoy and engage in them together. Doing things together would definitely bring back some of the lost bond.

CelebritiesRe: AY: I Lost N500 Million Opening A Non-Smoking Night Club by scrolldown88: 2:49pm On Mar 31, 2023
hitng:
Popular comedian and actor, Ayo Makun, known by his stage name, AY, has opened up on losing 500 million Naira to a nightclub business which did not permit smoking.

He said during a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo that the nightclub crashed after a huge investment.

According to AY, his wife advised him against the decision but he refused to heed and he later regretted not listening.

He narrated how he would visit the club on Fridays but it will be empty and he did not realise that having a club where people don’t smoke is bad for that type of business.

The comedian said the reason he made it a non-smoking club was because anytime he and his wife go to clubs, she always comes back with her hair smelling of smoke.

The stand-up comedian said he was motivated to do it by the mere fact that he could fill up event centres for comedy shows.

He said:

I don't believe you jare. What does it take to convert a non smoking club into a smoking club. If this was true to save the money invested, all he had to do was say 'ok guys you can come in and smoke '. problem solved right?

RomanceRe: Most Nigerian Parents See Their Kids As Retirement Package by scrolldown88: 11:54am On Feb 18, 2023
100% true.
Sadly we are not ready to talk about this.

The whole child bearing thing is one big selfish exercise by parents. No body wants to have a child for the benefit of the said child. It's always a selfish reason.

The worst of it is people who selfishly have kids without plan of giving them a better life. These kids will now grow up struggling through life and still expected to fend for their parents, and siblings, like they asked to be born into this mess in the first place.

I'm of the opinion that if it was possible to consult kids before giving birth to them, there'll be far less that 7 billion people in the world....especially when the facts and reality they'd come to live is considered.

TravelRe: My Experience With Loneliness After Canada Migration by scrolldown88: 2:43pm On Feb 17, 2023
Confusedgirlie:
Before I left Canada for Nigeria in 2020, I had heard severally that it was very lonely there for Nigerian immigrants. I didn't quite understand what people meant exactly when they said this. However, over time I now have a very good understanding of this particular challenge with migration. Here are some of the things I've learnt on the way. But first, a little background about me.

I'm an introvert and I like my introversion. It gives me a lot of time to think and to be in my own space which I enjoy a lot. I read, write and love to watch documentaries. Those are the three most important things to me in life. When I lived in Nigeria, I lived a mostly secluded life that didn't have a lot of people in it. Regardless, it wasn't boring to me. I went out when I wanted to and took my time for my own activities.

Since being in Canada, my observations have been that it is a lot lonelier here. The reasons are very obvious: there are not a lot of people around me from a culture I'm familiar with (Nigeria), so it's definitely a lot more difficult to interact with others. That's one key point. Another is that I don't really have to go out to purchase things (even groceries), compared to when I was in Nigeria. I can simply order everything I need while sitting in the comfort of my home. Hence, the temptation is to go this way. In addition, I don't have family around, so I'm mostly by myself. And finally, the few friends I have are often busy, so there's hardly time to get together.

That's about it. I think these are some of the challenges Nigerian immigrants face. But the real question is, do I feel lonely?

The honest answer to that is a No. I find that my life is exactly the same way I lived it in Nigeria, only a lot more convenient and comfortable. I can't trade this for anything. In addition, as an introvert who likes to be by herself anyways, it's just a lot more enjoyable.

Nevertheless, there are steps I'm planning to take to change a few things. I am now taking more opportunities to actually go out and buy things even if I don't have to, e.g groceries, clothes, etc. Secondly, I say hello first to strangers and neighbours and get to ask them a few questions. This I wouldn't have done on the first place. Finally, I downloaded a social media application called clubhouse and have been making new friends in my area using this. As a cautious person, I'm taking baby steps here and not jumping straight into friendships I may not like.

Overall, what do I think of being in Canada as an introvert? I enjoy it. My life and choices are a lot better and I find that I have the time to do much more than I was doing back in Nigeria, not hampered by lack of power or resources.

My advice to others is to gauge their expectations carefully as they come to Canada with or without family. It can be lonely here, but that's not because Canada itself is lonely. It's just because you need to dig deep and find yourself in a new country where family is absent and culture is unfamiliar.
If you're life was so enjoyable and perfect, why then do you speak of implementing those measures to change it. Your entire post is a bit contradictory.

I find that most introverts are not being entirely honest with their introversion and desire to socialize. For the most part, a lot know that there's a void of social interaction that they yearn to be filled. But they talk as if they're living in paradise, yet talk within the same epistle, talk of implementing measures to switch up their supposedly perfect life. It's contradictory.
It's also an introvert delimma. I say this cuz I'm one

These days everyone feels like they are something worthy of an opinion. Like they truly have a voice.

France and UK battling inflation. Egg is scarce in UK, shortage of baby-food in US, Argentina inflation rate is nearing 100% , Germany, Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador are fighting pre-covid survival due to high cost of living.

Yet our Bunch of irrelevant political tools disguising as yeyebrities are using the country's situation to invoke cheap attention.

But they are never at fault. People like the OP that gives credence and attach importance to what clowns like this failed comedian Mr macaroni or forgotten musicians like Psquare brothers says, is the culprit here. People who lacks basic knowledge on how to run even the commonest POS business will always want to chase-clout by criticising those running one of the biggest country in Africa.

Nonsense and ingredient.
