[quote author=Efemena_xy]^^ Er...Oga, you don pay for your ticket so?

No free shows here o! [/quote]No matter what you say, this one na FOC automatic. Shikena!!! Where hotdog and soda stand jare

RudySmith: Sagamite's got nothing on me. He ain't got the time nor the ability 2 treat any lady here properly. Here is one simple question 4 the man: WHO IS UR LADY HERE ON NL? stand 4 her proudly or let someone else do so!

***ATTENTION ALL NL LADIES, U MAY WANT 2 COME AND HEAR THE ANSWER 2 THIS MILLION $$$ QUESTION***

Ogebele o. Ija ti de o . Make I go find better seat sidon look!

RudySmith: @Tgirl4u
Arrant nonsense, magun ko, magnum ni!
This is the kind of crap that men tell women 2 keep them in bondage 4ever. The deal is very simple: If u r not ready and willing 2 care 4 a ladies needs at all times, then step aside and let someone else care 4 her, instead of having her lacking. She needs a good man who will b there 2 provide her with some security as well as comfort AND most importantly the warmth that she requires. So unless u r ready 2 elevate her status 2 something worthy *I know I will* then step aside, playa!

@Efe
although u may not b the #1 with RudySmith, u will surely b treated like such with someone like me, unlike what that Sagamite bobo is offering.

Hehehe. Competition amongst the stronger sex don start abi? Carry go jare.

@Sagamite.....ball in your court.

Richvkunt: I hereby wish to apologise to chaircover and anyone else I have annoyed in this section.
Please let us try and build the family section of NL in peace.
Agiboma please let us let bye gones be dye gones and I hope to hear good news soon when you deliver yourr bundle of joy.
Please no more e fighting. Thank you all.
Brother Rvk.

Good job bro. Now that's the kind of spirit we need in here and further makes me proud to be a guy. You've shown incalculable maturity and that's not easy. Kudos.

I knew a bomb would go off. Hiroshima & Nagasaki combined no reach this place.

@Lastpage. A big AMEN to that prayer o. Yes, 44 years old. Trust me, I can FEEL it now o. I went over the whole thread from the beginning and I almost couldn't believe say na me. God is just too good. The best is yet to come IJN. The story continues..........

P.S. @edakedkay. How far now? We are waiting for more news. I pray your baby is doing very well and you are also in good health. Abeg, don't leave us in the dark ke?

The show is looking pretty good so far. Kudos to Sienna for a pretty good start. I'm still building up the courage to put my pic on NL. So, we're waiting for more volunteers to spice up the program. Yours truly would have jumped into the melee, but I'm only half qualified (according to the powers that be). So, let me assume my spectators position and cheer the participators jare.

@r231. Just got the email about the project. Expect my donation soon.

What's the criteria for nominations?

Jarus: And you're now 43. Time keeps flying.

Pele ore.

@Jarus. Actually, I was 44 on the 1st of November. Old age approaches fast, fast. Time does fly, but God is continuously faithful to me and mine o. My life has been a roller coaster event, but I am thankful to God.

chaircover: We dey oooo! How is yours. I look forward to "seeing" you on the show.

Me and my ogas dey o. Let's see how things go, though it looks like the women are already 'oppressing' us men here o. Trying to get my 2 soldiers off to school without them killing each other.

Tgirl4real: Kool. See me in camera.

10-4. Will be in touch asap.

@Tgirl. Would love to accept, but as you pointed out, I'm not married yet (though I have marriage experience). Would love to be involved in any way possible though, so....I'm in!

honeric01: WHERE IS THE SHOW NOW?

Look up and check the update.

Wow!!! I think us guys need to sit this one out. Look at these women go at each other. I doubt if a guy could even survive in here. All that said, It's hilarious. When I said I was expecting a bomb to go off on this thread, I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD BE THIS BIG!!!

@tgirl. Congratulations for starting World War III

Hmmm. I smell a bomb about to go off on this thread.

@tgirl. I have a question though. How graphic are these married couples supposed to get concerning their 'good' and 'bad' experiences. You do know that the more colorful a couples' lives are, the more interested members will be in their stories and in effect, the other 'politically correct' couples will quickly lose relevance. So, how do you propose to cope with that?

Tgirl4real: Serubawon would have been a good candidate too, but he isn't married yet.

Traitor. So, my years of experience don't count abi?

@CC. Thanks for the vote of confidence jare. At least some people appreciate me.

salsera: just appreciating those who have what I want
besides havent been to a wedding in ages so an e-one would do

Gotcha!!! One e-wedding coming up!

salsera: Who would have thot this thread would have a newborn.

So we have namingceremony and wedding to look forward to.

@Salsera. Why am I not surprised you said that?

edakedkay: Had her on Sunday @ approx 6 months & 2 weeks. Yet to she her though. Hope she lives to be called Leona as daddy wants. My dears, sorry for keeping you all waiting. Well,the waiting continues for us. Thanks to everyone of you for your prayers and good wishes. God bless you all. Be back later

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!!!!!! I'm extremely happy you had a safe delivery. She will live and declare the works of the Lord in the land of the living. The Lord that started this wonderful thing in your family will complete and perfect it till the day of Christ, Amen. Please keep us posted on EVERYTHING. Make sure you get some rest. I love good news!

@dirahm. Losing a loved one is painful and I can understand your feelings. Also, learning to let go enables you to continue with your life. It's better not to reflect on the pain of missing that person, but on the beautiful memories of a fulfilled life. Also, they have gone to a better place and we pray to join them (in our old age) when God's time comes. Stay strong and it is well with you.

@Ruedan. Thank you for the prayers. They mean a lot. By the special grace of God, the Lord will continue to prosper my relationship with my 'oga' and His name will be glorified when we 'get hooked'. I'm looking forward to it immensely. Oh, in answering your unasked question, I'm 44 (very old)

@Oluite, SeanBell. Thank you guys. I appreciate it. Oluite, you and this "Uncle Seru" again.....

spoilt: @serubawon
Happy birthday. Many happy years ahead.

@spoilt. Thank you very much. Old age is approaching faster and faster.

@edakedkay. As you can see, you have a family that is growing by the minute. It's the same family that kept me company since 2006. It would be nice if you could keep us informed on how you're doing till and after you deliver. I'm sure everyone here is concerned and would want to be sure of your good health (and that you're taking your meds). Stay safe.

Tgirl4real: Finally I finished the never ending romance/thiller/action novel. What a read!

My question:

Why haven't we gotten an invite yet?

@tgirl4real. In good time people, in good time. Remember, Olori reads this thread too and she's already asked me about all the 'women' on this thread. I guess she's getting jealous.

jennykadry: Serubobo, happy belated. I am hoping Olori did you well ehn?

@jenny. Of course (what did you expect). She gave me a surprise that was really worth it. You think say I dey call am 'Olori' for nothing? She came through with flying colors.

edakedkay: Belated birthday wishes Serubawon. May heaven always be available to hear you at all times. Thanks everyone for dropping your very valuable inputs. Been off here cos i was taken in yesterday evening. Bp had reached roof top, 210/160.was knocked off with some meds &IVs.got one on my foot now. After oga had settled in y'day, we were just having our usual debate of our preferred sex of the baby. I want a boy abeg. He's been so excited,picked the name Leona already. He's so expectant. I thought about all the what ifs. I went & brought all my hidden stuff and showed them to him. Mr: why are you showing them to me? Me: i havent taken them. Mr: then take them nao. Me: as in havent been taking them. Never taken them. he stared at me without a saying a word, then i heard "you're wicked,very wicked". He grabbed his and rang the doc & told her.On our way i tried to make explanations but he didnt say a thing. He was sweating in his eyes (you know guys dont cry) all through. Forunately, dr's house is within the hospital's premises.I was immediately given injections and then the drips.Woke up 3ish this afternoon. My sister is here to relieve him. He's gone home now. He still hasn't said a word to me. I over heard him tell my sister he'll be back. You see, i've taken so much drugs & i've lost count of the number of times i've been in & out of the hospital in the last 2 yrs +. There are times that i'll go for a routine check up and then i'll end up being admitted. Even without being pregnant my life has more or less been drugs dependent since i first became pregnant(crying). I wont even mention how many needles have probed me in search of veins. So when i say "i'm tired of drugs &hospitals",i mean every single word of it. For God sakes, I'm only 29. Why should i be having issues with blood pressure? My mom never had any issues with pregnancies,my sisters as well. Dunno why mine is different. There are loads of my mates out there having the time of their life,so why is mine different? Dr says it'll only be for a while as it was triggered by the first pregnancy. I want to stay positive bcz I know I'm still in God's plan.

Hmmmm.... A lot of times, bad things happen to good people and you try to figure out why?? Here's the deal. God will use those horrible situations to glorify Himself....to show that no man can compare to Him. When you find yourself in those situations, It's like the whole world turns against you and there's no way out. However, look at it this way: Every time things like this happen, sit down and thank God (even for that horrible situation that you are in and then ask him to glorify Himself in that situation). The thing is that God's timing is usually to slow for us and it's like He isn't there. But He is. A nice tasting meal takes time to prepare, cook and then finally dish. The longer it takes, the nicer the taste of the meal. edakedkay, the meal that God is cooking in your life will be so well done that the whole world will hear of it and wonder and ultimately, give God the glory. It is well with you and your household. Stand fast and strong in the name of the Lord. Your testimony shall cause even your enemies to glorify God. I sincerely wish you the very best and I pray that you will return to give your testimony on this thread. With all the prayers you have received here, the devil will be put to shame. Oh, thanks for the birthday wish.

chaircover: Happy belated Birthday serubawon. May God bless you with many more happy years filled with His blessings, Joy and good health Amen

@CC. Thank you so much. The cake looked so good I almost felt like ripping it off the screen. Thanking all those who wished me well, getting older is truly an exasperating experience. May the Lord reward you all beyond your wildest expectations.

@Analytical. Good to hear from you bro and thanks for the confession of faith. I am truly stepping into a wonderfully new phase in my life and excitement is an under statement. Never seen so many Facebook birthday comments. I am truly blessed. I claim this season of joy unspeakable. Cheers.

edakedkay: I hope i won't be derailing this thread o.

@edakedkay. No, you haven't derailed the thread. God brought you to this thread for a purpose and my able sistas have shown you beyond any reasonable doubt that you need to take your meds. Wish I could talk more, but I'm on my way to work, it's my birthday and I'm late. The Lord will deliver you Himself IJN. Never again will you experience sorrow in your household. He will turn your mourning into dancing again and His name shall forever be glorified in your life. You shall not die, but live to see your grandchildren in good health and prosperity. The goodness of the Lord shall never depart from you. Your husband is a blessed man and the Lord will increase him to continue to be your pillar of strength. Later.

slimyem: Wow!
What a thread!
I can't believe i spent the last one hour reading thru almost all the pages...
I'm particularly glad that the op's story and pritttrrrr's had a happy ending..
Wow!
.
@Serubawon.....i'm glad for you!
I can relate perfectly well with you story cuz i lost my mum many years ago and i knew all that my dad went through with most of the story similar to yours.
He's a strong man and a good father like you too.
Though he's re-married now,he also made a good choice in a woman who is human in every way!
I don't want to say too much but i wish you every happiness and every good thing life has to offer.

@slimyem. It's nice to see God turn something that started out of pain into something that becomes a story of overcoming and testimony. The day I started this thread was one of those days that I couldn't shake the depression off and it was truly unbearable. I was angry at everything. I was looking for an explanation to a problem on my phone and a friend directed me to NL. Honestly, I don't know why, but I got to the family section and saw all these personal stories and the need to pour out the pain took over and that's how this thread started. I received an email from a guy some months ago and he had lost his wife in childbirth. He said he completely shut down and was useless not only to himself, but to his new born baby. How he found this thread, I can't remember, but he said it changed his life. We talk frequently on the phone and he is on the road to recovery. He asked me a question and it was: "How do you get yourself through the day, knowing you just feel like ending the whole thing"? I told him that every time those thoughts came, God had a way of ensuring my 2 kids were nearby and they would be doing some funny and ridiculous things that would make me laugh sometimes. God has always been my source of joy and he uses my kids to emphasize that fact. I look at them and I know that things MUST work out somehow.

Today, I'm different. I'm happier (a lot older), more respectful of the faithfulness of God, more patient and all the better for it. I wish she were still here, but she's not and never will be. However, God brought someone who filled that void beyond what I could have ever expected and I am truly grateful. So, if it is even only one person that was impacted positively by this thread, then it's truly worth it.
