TravelRe: Help: Using A 'dummy Ticket' In Place Of A Return Flight Ticket. by sharone21(f): 5:36am On May 02, 2022
Ashleyadams:
Ok. That is exactly why I created this thread.

The best solution is to book a one way ticket for going. Then book a return ticket a few hours before your departure using Expedia and cancel the return ticket after you arrive your destination.
Expedia offers a full refund if you cancel within 24 hours.
Note: Expedia is more expensive than booking directly on the airline website, but it guarantees you a refund.

Understood?
Hi.
Please, are we booking a one way ticket with same Expedia and cancel then book a 2 way ticket hrs before leaving? How many hrs precisely?

Booking hotels with Expedia is it valid enough?

Is Expedia okay to book connecting flights and do they have DEDICATED customer care especially for first time 'flyers'?

We lead for other Africans to follow. The only natural disaster we have is our fucking rulers who call themselves leaders
And some still get guts to compare Naija girls with other black Africans?

All because they reject them for love or dem no measure up.

Naija girls are GOLD.

It is easier to grab a Naija man ( talking of within Africa) by other Africans but not so easy for other Africans to grab gold( Naija girls).

Don't mind her. When 90% of the women are dialoyal. What does she expect men to do. Better two bad wives so they can fight each other and give you peace than one giving you hell. Most of our fathers grew up in Polygamous homes.

Yul my guy fucjed up big time.

Seems like a child that likes to do what pleases him.

Same way he became a father early in life because he can't tame himself and thereafter betrayed same woman that suffered with him.

Anyway, he just gave his LEGALLY recognised wife the license to start hiding issues from him and seriously planning for herself and kids since bingo has gone public.

In Cameroon, any dispute in future on property matters which will be judged by the Customary court must not be more than 25,000 FRS if not, it is taken to the High court and there, one will be told to bring marriage certificate.....

Yul just turned his first wife to his enemy indirectly, she will never trust him though for peace sake and sanity of mind, she will be in the marriage in order not to suffer loss for all she endured with him.

Marriage that family is washing their hands from shows they are not in support and the so called 2nd wife is on her own...I wonder who 'smart kid' took to this wedding? Na wa ooo

If u were his wife eg by Tradition since tradition allows more than 1 wife, shared parenting is possible.

If u were not married to him, abeg fight for your kids...the only K leg is having lived with him together for 7 years which may be quoted as a 'common law marriage'....

Still fight for what is yours and don't listen too much to men giving u advice castigating your right to file for sole custody.

The price of rice doubled because of this mumu shutting down of border, meanwhile local rice production never increased one bit. So we just suffered for nothing. Even while the border was shut, we still bought the smuggled rice at a higher price.

PoliticsRe: Prophet Richard Kolawole: Wike & Osinbajo Are Best Pesidential Aspirants by sharone21(f): 11:49pm On Apr 22, 2022
Those criticising this man of God should note that he wasn't prophesying who will win but those who summarily will make good candidates.

Tinubu and Atiku should retire.

Wike should sell his candidacy to Nigerians in diaspora especially on security matters so they mobilize their people to vote.

Osibanjo may not be bad, but if truth be told, Nigeria needs a strong, courageous man with guts like WIKE even if for 1 term.

Wike seems like not just an ordinary man, he be like man wen him mama fast and pray well b4 God give her Wike- he carries something special.

But, if Nigerians don't want to be sincere with themselves and put tribalism first or the fact that Wike hurt them by chasing some confusionists out of his state( reason why some of them are asking for a substitute in Amaechi), then come 2023, Nigerians should accept whatever comes to them.
FamilyRe: My Father Dragging My Mom's Property With Me, how the Issue Was Resolved by sharone21(f): 2:06am On Apr 19, 2022
thebosstrevor1:
It has nothing to do with willed or legally married.

This was a property gotten before the marriage. The father does not have any right to it.
Even if dad was caretaker when Op was young, from 18 yrs or 21 years, Op is fully ready to be in charge of what was passed down to him.

The guys arguing this are those hoping to inherit from their wife's family since they feel women too inherit from men so they are damn so adamant. They fail to put themselves in the shoes of leaving property for their daughter which is supposed to be for their grandkids which husband will want to drag with those grandkids.

Women who sell inherited properties at the demise of their husband do so mainly to take care of those kids.

eeewise:
I just tire

I want to throw up reading his post

The dynamics of a father /son relationship is honour

A son honours a father.

A father protects his son putting his future interests above all

Shameless family....*spits*
That is why the current situation in which men now feel they no longer need to protect their family( wife and children) is quite frightening. Men now feel children only benefit mothers and vice versa.

The father and children own this property though, the properties his mum acquired from her own family are more for her children.

In any case, I feel the dad is ready to fight dirty maybe believing that Op is a made man and should leave the properties to him, but the joy of any parent is to see that eventually what they worked for or inherited from their family actually goes to the children they call their own( biological and adopted) especially if they have spelt it out orally or written( will).... Sometimes, since death is unplanned for, some parents do not document who gets what.... Though sometimes, will itself may backfire and u may not even get what u deserve.

My advice is for the Op to involve his mother's people and also, father and child/ren should be transparent to themselves.

If there is need to lease out some of the properties, everybody gets a share from it and if it needs to be sold, same thing, everyone gets a share from it.

Issue is the proportion each should get. But, all children may get same proportion ( for peacesake) while you just allow dad to take a little more.... Papa is scared of his old age as maybe what he worked for may not be enough to sustain him... It doesn't take away anything u can give him especially if he was there for the Op and siblings ( if any).... Pray too as devil likes to use this kind of situations to scatter q family.

It is well.

Truth is, the thing both of them dey inside, makes them voluntarily misbehave then later have some regrets all because of money and fame.

He gave this small boy permission to sleep with his wife, meaning both of them were into OPEN marriage.....Will met his 'crazy' type though, vetting more than he bargained for including having children NOT well brought up.

He is living with his crazy definition of the type of marriage he had knowingly/unknowingly put his hand into....I don't think Will is innocent like that, he just have a pretentious face.

TV/MoviesRe: Will Smith Faces Losing His Oscar For Slapping Chris Rock by sharone21(f): 1:54am On Mar 29, 2022
Smith and his wife walked down the aisle in 1997, and have been going strong ever since.

Though the two have never shied away from discussing the ups and downs of their relationship, their 23-year marriage is a testament to how they've managed to weather every storm—including a separation—despite being in the public eye. And in a recent interview for GQ, Will opened up about his relationship. He elaborated on a topic Jada has been open about on her show Red Table Talk: she doesn't necessarily agree with the "traditional" expectations put on marriage.

“Jada never believed in conventional marriage.… Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship," he told the publication. "So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up. There were significant endless discussions about, what is relational perfection? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple? And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection.”

His comments come more than a year after one of Red Table Talk's most-watched episodes when the couple appeared on the show together in July 2020. Jada "took herself to the table"—the center of her Facebook Watch show, that is—to address the rumors head on that she had an affair with R&B singer August Alsina over five years ago.When talking to Will about the famous RTT episode, GQ writer, Wesley Lowery, wrote: "...a viewer could have walked away thinking that Jada was the only one engaging in other sexual relationships, when that was not, Smith delicately explained to me, in fact the case."

In the July 2020 episode, Jada calmly sat down across from Will and explained to viewers that Alsina had come into their lives when he was "sick" and that it felt good to be able to help him. Later, when she and Will "were over," she said that she and Alsina became involved in an "entanglement."

Will said, "We decided we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I'll figure out how to make myself happy." Will also revealed that during that dark chapter of their marriage, he wasn't sure if they'd ever speak again. However, they persevered after a lot of what Will called "therapizing," and Jada facing both the "ugly" truths about herself and the beautiful ones.

"We came together young and we were both broken in our own ways, and to be able to make mistakes without the fear of losing your family is so critical," Will said. Now, they have "unconditional love" for each other, they added. Besides being open about what it takes to make a marriage work, they are also forthcoming about parenting. They share two kids, Jaden and Willow Smith, as well as Smith's oldest son, Trey, from his first marriage to Sheree Zampino Fletcher.

This content is imported from {embed-name}. You may be able to find the here's a lot to admire about the pair, so let's start from the beginning with how the Smiths romance unfolded and their most defining moments as husband and wife.

1994: Jada met Will on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Though Smith, 51, and Pinkett Smith's relationship sounds like a story ripped straight from the plot of a romantic comedy, their meet-cute didn't have a traditional happy ending. They briefly met in 1997 when Jada, now 48, auditioned for a role as Smith's character's girlfriend on the '90s sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Unfortunately, the five-foot actress didn't get the part because she was too short. Instead, the role went to Nia Long.

Still, despite their drastic height difference, Pinkett Smith would soon become Smith's leading lady off-screen a few years later. To this date, the pair have never appeared in a movie or on a TV show together. However, they do produce films through their joint production company, Overbrook Entertainment.

1995: The Smiths started dating.

During a 2018 Red Table Talk appearance, Smith expressed that he was attracted to Pinkett Smith when he later saw her on the college-themed TV series, A Different World.

"I knew there was something in our energy that would be magic," he said.

Unfortunately, Smith was married at the time to Fletcher and decided not to act on his attraction to Pinkett Smith. Smith later revealed on Red Table Talk that he knew Pinkett Smith was the one. An aha moment he had in a restaurant bathroom while he was on a dinner date with Fletcher.

"I had a realization I wasn’t with the person I was supposed to be with," Smith said. "I was sitting in a stall and I was crying and laughing uncontrollably, and I knew [Jada] was the woman I was supposed to be with, but I was never getting divorced...I went back out, sat down with Sheree and started going back on with my life."

It wasn't until Fletcher ended things with Smith that he tried to woo the actress. He asked Pinkett Smith if she was "seeing anyone," and her response was "no."

"Cool, you’re seeing me now," Smith smoothly told her. From there, Pinkett Smith moved from Baltimore to California, and the two began dating. Smith and his ex-wife officially divorced in late 1995.

December 1997: Jada and Will got married.

Smith officially asked for his wife's hand in marriage in November 1997.

"One day we got engaged, and the next day we found out we were pregnant," Pinkett Smith told People. That's right, when Pinkett Smith walked down the aisle in a velvet, champagne-colored gown on December 31, 1997, she was three months pregnant with her first child. The two married in a private ceremony at a hotel in Pinkett Smith's native city of Baltimore. There were no invitations sent, according to People, because the couple wanted to avoid any potential leaks to the media. Which explains why there are very few photos of their big day floating around the Interwebs, but Pinkett Smith posted the above Polaroid snap on Twitter of the pair sharing a New Year's Eve kiss shortly after saying their "I do's."

On Red Table Talk, Pinkett Smith finally opened up about her wedding day, but it wasn't the fairy tale we all might've imagined.

"I was so upset that I had to have a wedding," she remembered. "I was so pissed. I went crying down the freakin' aisle getting married."

July 1998: Pinkett Smith gave birth to their son, Jaden Smith.

First, came love. Then came marriage, and, well, you know the rest. Pinkett Smith welcomed her first son, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, on July 8, 1998 in a speedy delivery.

"The doctor said it would take an hour-and-a-half to deliver him," she told Fit Pregnancy. "I said, 'Oh it’s not going to take that long. I’m too anxious to meet this baby.' It took me 20 minutes to push him out. My mother’s a nurse and she was in there with me and she was amazed!"

Jaden quickly followed in his parents' superstar footsteps, catching the acting bug and inheriting the music gene from his rockstar mother and rapper/actor father. Unlike Pinkett Smith, their son has starred in two movies with his dad: After Earth (2013) and The Pursuit of Happyness (2003). He also released his debut studio album in 2017, Syre, which is taken from his middle name. Smith even remixed his son's hit song, "Icon" in a tribute video in May 2018.

October 2000: Their second child, Willow Smith, was born.

Nearly two years later, the Smiths welcomed their daughter, Willow Camille Reign Smith, on October 31, 2000. Smith confirmed his daughter's conception happened on a drunken trip in Mexico on VH1's "Dear Mama" special. I’m not gonna be silly," Smith said during his opening monologue. "I’m here to honor you. Just watching the piece with the kids it takes me back to when we made them. Can’t help but think about that. It’s just amazing. It’s like you take Jada Pinkett Smith and an obscure town in Mexico and some tequila and you end up with great kids!"

Like her big brother, Willow also became a fixture on the entertainment scene, appearing in the movie, I Am Legend, alongside her father. Her first song, "Whip My Hair" was released in 2010 and thrust her in the spotlight. Although these days she spends her time modeling and co-hosting the Red Table Talk series with her mother and grandmother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, Willow still sings and performs at major music festivals.

April 2013: Pinkett Smith denied being in an open relationship.

After an interview with HuffPost Live on April 3, 2013, Pinkett Smith's comments about her marriage raised a few eyebrows.

"I’ve always told Will, 'You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay,'" she said. "Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man. I’m here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be and that's not for me to do for him. Or vice versa."

This caused many people to believe she was admitting to being in an open relationship with Smith. Pinkett Smith would later clarify her statement on her personal Facebook account, opening up her intimate post with the question: Open marriage?

"The statement I made in regard to, 'Will can do whatever he wants,' has illuminated the need to discuss the relationship between trust and love and how they co-exist," she wrote 2015: The Smiths confirmed their marriage is rock solid (again).

In 2006, Smith made it plain to MTV News, as reported by Billboard, that "divorce can't be an option."

"With Jada, I stood up in front of God and said, 'Til death do us part,' Smith said. "So there are two possible outcomes. One, we are going to be together till death, or two, I am dead."

But that didn't stop rumors from swirling that the couple were headed for splitsville. Because in 2015, Smith was forced to state the obvious again on Facebook: "In the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness...Jada and I are...NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Pinkett Smith echoed her husband's frustrated sentiments during a June 2018 interview on Sway in the Morning.

This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

"Here's the thing about Will and I, it's like, we are family, that's never going down," she said. "It doesn't matter, all that relationship and what people think, ideas of a husband and a partner and all that, man, whatever, at the end of the day, that's a man that can rely on me for the rest of his life, period."

Circa 2016: Pinkett Smith had an "entanglement" with August Alsina while she and Smith were separated.

On a recent revelatory episode of Red Table Talk, Pinkett Smith explained that she and R&B singer August Alsina were involved in a "relationship" during her separation from Smith. At the time, she said she and Smith were "over."

"I just wanted to feel good, it had been so long since I felt good," she told viewers on July 10, about her relationship with Alsina, who she had been helping as he struggled with addiction. "And it was really a joy to just help heal someone. I think that has a lot to do with my co-dependency."

Around the same time, there were some dubiously reported rumors that Smith was involved with model Heidy De la Rosa.

However, as of course you know, the Smiths ultimately reconciled and now have "no secrets" and share what they call "unconditional love."

"I definitely realized you can't find happiness outside yourself," she said on Red Table Talk.

May 2018: Pinkett Smith invited Smith's ex-wife to Red Table Talk.

On the May 2018 premiere episode, "Motherhood," of Red Table Talk, Pinkett Smith extended an invitation to an unexpected guest: Smith's ex-wife, Fletcher. The two women were completely respectful towards each other during their frank discussion, speaking candidly about their rocky past, and how Fletcher's son with Smith, Trey, led to them becoming friends and a blended family.

July 2018: Smith referred to Pinkett Smith as his "life partner," not wife.

Now, having been together for more than two decades, the Smiths revealed that they're well beyond relationship labels and traditional unions, as proven by a recent conversation Smith had on TIDAL's Rap Radar podcast in 2018.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Will Smith (@willsmith)

"We don't even say we're married anymore," Smith explained on the music streaming service. "We refer to ourselves as 'life partners,' where you get into that space where you realize you are literally with somebody for the rest of your life. There's no deal breakers. There's nothing she could do—ever—nothing that would break our relationship. She has my support til death, and it feels so good to get to that space."

2019: The couple took their love to higher heights (literally) by skydiving for Smith's 50th birthday.

As a promise to her husband to do whatever he wanted for his 50th birthday celebration, Pinkett Smith threw caution (and her fear of heights) to the wind and went skydiving in Dubai with her partner of over 22 years. Smith documented the experience on his new Facebook Watch series, Will Smith's Bucket List.

"Jada, you know, she's been the glue of our family, and a mother and a wife," Smith said during the desert excursion. "Our life can be wildly constricting for her. I think she was going to experience the greatest rush of freedom and exhilaration that she's ever had in her life."

April 2019: The Smiths supported each other at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

The Smiths headed to southern California to celebrate Jaden's debut at the annual music festival. During Jaden's electric performance in the first weekend, Willow and family friend Jordyn Woods made a surprise appearance. But the crowd really went wild when his father joined him onstage to perform "Icon" during the weekend two set. Smith documented the entire experience in the desert valley in the YouTube video below.

May 2019: Pinkett Smith revealed how she handles Smith's female fans in a new episode of Red Table Talk.

On Monday, May 6, chef and lifestyle guru Ayesha Curry pulled up a chair at the red table to chat about everything from anxiety to groupies. After Curry shared how she deals with women following her husband Stephen Curry around when he's traveling on the road she turned the question back over to Pinkett Smith, who joked about her daughter, Willow, having her back.

"I remember when Willow was like five or six, and one of Will's co-stars was in his trailer," Pinkett Smith said. "And she came in there, and she jumped in her father's lap, and she looked at the co-star and she said, 'My mother's going to be here very soon.' I remember Will telling me the story, and I cracked up."

Pinkett Smith added: "There was only like one or two times where I might have gotten a little hostile where I felt like people stepped over a boundary and they were disrespectful. I think also you need to have an internal space of confidence. I know who I am, and more important, he knows who I am."

2020: The Coronavirus pandemic created a new dynamic in the couple's marriage.

During an April 29th Red Table Talk episode titled "How Your Relationship Can Survive Quarantine," Pinkett Smith said, "I have to be honest. I think one of the things that I’ve realized is that I don’t know Will at all."

So how is the couple working through that realization? "The thing Will and I are learning to do is be friends," Pinkett Smith elaborated. "You get into all these ideas of what intimate relationships are supposed to look like, what marriages are supposed to be." She added: "Will and I are in the process of him taking the time to learn to love himself, me taking the time to learn to love myself, right, and us building a friendship along the way."

September 2021: Will says marriage "can't be a prison."

In his revealing interview with GQ, after telling the interviewer he also had other relationships while Jada was dating Alsina and saying they don't think "of monogamy as the only relational perfection,” he elaborated further.

“We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way. And marriage for us can’t be a prison. And I don’t suggest our road for anybody. I don’t suggest this road for anybody. But the experiences that the freedoms that we’ve given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love.”

There is.

Even during marriage, in Urhobo/Isoko lands, the woman may not be aware but dem go don put something for ground say if she later leaves her husband( may still be binding after divorce), something bad may happen to her, if not death....

See, I no fit defend my SS people as we all with the East do such, just that the Easterners do their with abandon...Most SS widows dey shave hair after death of hubby.

The only saving grace is an enlightened widow who knows her right... She may 'sheepishly' comply with the nonsense law of shaving her hair to mourn her husband but that is the end of it...Na lawyers she go take settle property matter.

Ifeanyi really looks like his dad....as that boy grows he will still look more like him with his mum's features in him making him a finer version.
