Your in-laws may not be worse than your own parents, but the fact remains that you are not their daughter by blood. They know that they are not stuck with you; their son can always leave you to marry someone else if they find you unsatisfactory.

There are cultures (yoruba) that encourage relative from the husband's side to intrude in their marital affairs. Imagine a teenaged boy wanting his elder brother's wife who is older than him to call him "broda" and kneel down for him because "we are all your husbands". Not while I'm alive!

Her original title says it all: "Raising Your Children Nigerian, When You're Married To A Non-nigerian?" We are not condemning her, just urging her to see another dimension of the issue.

He offended someone and the worst the person could do was to "press" him at night?

What you are describing is known to science as sleep paralysis:

I'm curious to know why you chose them over the thousands of phone and ipod sellers in Asia and especially your country Singapore. Are their prices lower than what you can get in Asia? If so, how come?

Islam is also a way of life, in case you haven't noticed.

Someone else came here to complain after dealing with the same company. The website is good, but nothing stops a scammer from building a beautiful website. the important question is: how did you find out about them?

That's your website, right? Thanks for sharing with the nairaland community. What sets it apart from the others?

what if you give a girl full attention and all she wants to do is front or ignore you

Then it means she doesn't enjoy your attention. Perhaps you're not as romantic as she wants you to be? Perhaps the two of you are just not compatible and the relationship needs to be terminated?

i don't like it when small children are tortured for what they don't understand. Several mornings i'm woken up with the noise of a child crying "mummy please, muimmy please" and "twap, twap twap". If beating works so well how come you have to beat them so often.

Beating a child is a short-cut approach that won't work when the child is old enough to beat you up (15 years for a boy, never for a girl unless she's really large). It's better to give the child a compelling reason to be respectful and obedient. Force is something for policemen and soldiers, not parents, to use.

dearzi, I will like to follow up on your sister's story. You seem to be genuinely happy, so I'm curious.

I am not "you guys". I am Nwoke and I believe that Nollywood is ok, though I don't watch their movies.

hehe. Nice one!

You are being scammed because <<snip>>.

Why would anyone want to buy phones from a Nigerian phone company? Do we manufacture phones in Nigeria? if you want to import phones, why not import from Asian countries like China or Taiwan where phones are manufactured?

And there is nothing like "GSM phone village" in Nigeria. Why didn't you ask us before sending money?

Why is "wife material" dressed in a shirt that shows her boobies to the world?

A competition can't do much to encourage webmasters to follow the right path. The most effective websites don't win awards because web design competition judges see them as being plain. The most effective website draw traffic and bring results. The people who are in a position to motivate webmasters are their clients.

I don't think we have the full story. I think they think she is actually cheating on them.

Nwoke means "Man" (I briefly considered Nna which means "Father")

How do we know whether you're for real?

Nice one!

Why would I want to look like Jessica Alba?

I'm impressed with your WAP site. Keep it up! Any updates?

She looks really good in movies. Really good.

Eminem has a daughter. He only exposes her to the censored version of his music!

Reason for the name change: I don't want people to think they know "Seun" just because they read his posts online. I chose an Igbo name so more Igbos will be encouraged to register. I briefly considered using a Hausa name, but I don't want people to think I'm a muslim when I know nothing about Islam.

There is the saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because there is no objective measure of beauty. Beauty is subjective, and anyone that claims to objectively measure beauty is a fraud.

When you want to judge a product or service, you ask a customer and not a competitor.

Women don't beautify themselves for the sake of fellow women. They do it for men. Those are the customers. The best way to measure attractiveness is to ask members of the opposite sex. If i want to judge a man's attractiveness or sex appeal, I ask women.

Perhaps the reasons they have given are not genuine?

I'm thinking, "There are chemicals that make you feel the way you are feeling. Those chemicals are meant to prepare you for mating sex in order to ensure the propagation of the human species through your babies. Those chemicals can make you feel giddy about someone who doesn't suit you. They are caled 'hormones'"

First I'll thank myself, because I'll be the only one who must have really believed in myself all the way and supported myself emotionally. Then I will thank people who provided tangible assistance (i.e. money) like my parents, their friends and my doctor.

I'm thinking, "Love is mostly an illusion. And it hardly ever lasts. Is she going to marry him?"
