Family / Re: Is It Safe To Visit Her Parents In Ogbomosho? by Sharpsharp00123: 9:50am
hurtlery:

I have got an issue I’d like some inputs on from everyone.

I recently reconnected with an ex whom I had the best relationship with while I was still in Nigeria. To put it simply, I was the one who broke up with her at that time, though we still stayed in contact and only messaged from time to time. After moving abroad for a while, our conversations got somewhat serious and we started talking a lot more often.

She’s doing pretty well in Nigeria. She’s a lead engineer in a multinational, earning very well. She earns well into six-figures in naira monthly, so she is comfortable. I am also doing very well for myself in the “diaspora”. I earn well into six-figures annually in dollars. I’m not complaining.

When we saw that things were getting serious between us once again, we decided to take it to the next level. I have visited Nigeria a few times and we’ve gone on vacations together for the past two years. She has a good head on her shoulders. She pays her part of the vacation and I pay mine, though I’d usually take care of some of the extraneous expenses like dinners, exhibition visits, etc.

The thing now is that we have been talking even more seriously and have also talked about getting married this year. She is not getting any younger and I am also not. She is clearly the kind of person I want and I think we are both financially and mentally ready to be together.

The major problem now is that she wants me to visit her parents in Nigeria first before we finalize anything about marriage. That’s where the problem lies.

Her parents live in Ogbomosho which is in the hinterlands of Lagos. Going there will mean going by bus from Lagos, or at least going in part by bus from Ilorin (if one is able to get a flight that goes there from Lagos). Given everything I have read and been reading recently both here on Nairaland and some other news website (I have included links), I absolutely dread traveling by bus in Nigeria. Oh my God! It’s something I greatly fear. I have read so many incidents of encounters with Fulani herdsmen and kidnappers along most of the south-west roads that I cannot imagine myself traveling on those roads at any time.

I can help thinking. What if I’m kidnapped along the way? What if I end up being taken into a closed enclave and they start beating me and pressuring my family to pay a ransom? That’s something that can’t get past my head. All in the name of love?

I have tried to talk to her about this. But merely hinting it at all makes her angry. It makes her feel I don’t care about her at all. She is a Christian, so she believes if one prays before the journey everything will be fine. I know better. Not enough prayer will work if infrastructure is just bad. I don’t think I can mention it to her again. That’s not possible. She will likely just take it the wrong way. On her part, she has travelled many times on the road to see her parents and has never had any issues. So, she doesn’t understand what I’m yapping about.

Are my fears real? I have not been to Nigeria in more than 10 years and have never traveled beyond Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, all areas one can use a plane to go to. The only time I traveled on the road in Nigeria was to Abeokuta several years ago. Have things changed enough for my fears to be unwarranted? How can I convince her that traveling to Ogbomosho is not that important? I have talked to her about the option of paying her parents’ travel expenses to Lagos and we can meet there, but she’s clearly against that because it’s not the traditional way to go about it.

Politics / Re: Babangida (IBB) Achieved All These In 8 Years by ElevationD: 9:46am
Babangida achieved:

- removal of Buhari/Idiagbon in August 1985.

- return of poor societal values already corrected by Buhari with his war against indiscipline

- removal of a stable exchange rate

- removal of the naira from the streets of Europe and the USA. You could travel with your naira in cash and get your exchange at the bureau de change

- removal of naira from 0.83 naira to 1 USD and introduction of SFEM, where naira dropped to N4 to 1 USD. The Nigerian naira has never recovered from that since 1986.

- Introduction of the famous SAP, where Nigerians were advised to tighten their belts.

- the annulment of the most peaceful, easily successful and beautiful 1993 election, that produced the late MKO Abiola as the President of Nigeria. All Nigerians stood on the lines that day, with option A4 as the voting system, without prejudice to tribe or religion and voted for that man, who was known to be the greatest philanthropist ever to come from Nigeria. Abiola did not want to know your tribe or religion. He quoted the Bible and Quran as he learnt the two. Babangida caused his unfortunate death. Nigeria has not recovered from that loss.

- the loss of several innocent lives and too much calamities that befell many families from that annulment.


By the way, what’s third mainland bridge doing on that list. It was absolutely not Babangida’s project. For your information that was Obasanjo/Murtala Mohammed project and completed long before Buhari/Idiagbon. It was existing even long before Shagari. You can talk of the Benin bypass and expansion of the Benin-Onitsha expressway. That was Babangida’s project.

OP please stop misinforming people here. I also just saw Warri refinery. That was built and commissioned in 1978 by Obasanjo. It was a Murtala/Obasanjo project. OP your lie too much abeg.

The foundation for Abuja was laid by the same Murtala/Obasanjo. Shagari continued. Infact citizens were already travelling to Abuja for business under Shagari. IBB only ran to Abuja for safety following the Gideon Orkah coup.

Romance / Re: I Don't Know Why Girls In My Area Are Talking Bad About Me by ObaKlaz: 9:24am
Wallteck:
Good morning, I will first start by introducing personalty, I'm a very soft, naive guy and shy guy..I stayed indoors most of the times and I'm also an introvert, i enjoy been alone. Knowing my weakness, I always avoid not be take advantage of because I'm working like crazily to developed and structured myself. But this my area girls are always talking about me.. ""he doesn't talk with anyone"", he is rude, he is proud, lot of things I'm hearing from them... My neighbour always even tell me that I should be carrying girls. That am I gay??, there is even one day one girl even asked me why I
don't like relating people, I just said It is just my decision...
Currently, I'm really tired of their complain how can I handle all this criticism.. Should I start relating with them.. because I always dey careful with type of person I wanna relate with.. because I Sabi my weaknesses die!!!

Bro, just lift up your hands and thank God for your life. You're doing well!

You're too obsessed about being productive to start courting their attention, and that hurts them - women are powered by attention. Starve them of that fuel and you're powerful - they dislike those type of men, but respect them nevertheless. I speak from experience.

Should a fellow man (no Diddy! 😃) say you ain't sh*t to your face, he's saying facts 80% of the time. Man to man (again no Diddy!), he's weighed you on the balances and found you wanting, so it's left to you to up your game.

But if a woman says trash about you, please take it like a grain of salt - she's most of the time speaking out of emotions and sentiment - women say anything.

Just keep being the best you can be, never be guilt-tripped to become a simp and starve those stupid pass-arround hoes more of your attention.

In fact, don't mingle with whoever isn't worth it, whether male or female. 90% of our stress comes from the wrong sorts of people we keep around.

Cheers, bro!!!

Why una dey talk like these, all those teams listed winning their league this season the point difference between no.1 and 2 shows there is no competition, no hot chase naw

Arsenal could have conveniently won the league by now if not that there is a crazy Man City team that enjoys chasing ...
Do you know how hard it is to have 89points and still not win the league ... these can only happen in the premier league.

One thing Man city can't take away from arsenal is, Arsenal did better than they did last season and should that momentum continue even Man city will not be able to stop arsenal from winning the next one.

You're a joke!!!
Arsenal was in this race because City themselves were without key players for a significant part of the season...KDB, Haaland Graelish spent quite some time on the sidelines...Rodri (suspension) too....Do you know how many points city dropped in Nov/Dec alone?? Due to these factors??..Since the arrival of these players they're yet to lose a game till date,And have even closed down Arsenal's 5 points lead.
