They will all be replaced. No big deal.
Its a big deal o. In North America, before we apply to job we check for reviews of the company online to see if it is worth it. There are recruiters who reached out to people and people don't respond because the recruiter's company scored 3/5 on a job site.
FamilyRe: I Think My Marriage Is In Trouble Please Help! by Shokoloko(f):
50pseamer:
I am not saying I am a saint, infact when there are issues , I apologize more easily than my wife. I feel very strongly for my child, I do not want him to suffer, she complained earlier that I was not helping with the baby and I started helping more, after a while, she said we need to go to a counsellor, I have agreed and also searched for a Christian one, but she prefers the one with a degree in psychology,
Sometimes when she offends me I can be blunt, and I might says some words, but not extreme words the words are only an interpretation of the attitude I see.
She knows it all, and does not easily take correction, even when I try to play with her she easily takes offence. Mind you all these never happened while we were dating, I noticed a bit of stubbornness and I tried to correct her , and told her that is one of the attribute I hate the most.
I am at point that I am not sure she loves me , and I don't even know if everything happening in my home is normal.
The fact that you are open to counselling says a lot about you and I MAY have misjudged the situation. Could you try the non-christian psychologist? I am a Christian but from your write up your wife is not feeling very "christian" at the moment. She may be lost, bitter, defensive or simply in rebellion if she feels she has made the most sacrifices.
While I strongly believe she has a plan (most women who shows signs of dissatisfaction in marriage at whatever stage hatch plans). The happy thing here is that you are both open to counselling. Try the one with a degree in psychology and root out this plant of discord before it takes root. I expect that the psychologist with a degree should be able to tell her how ridiculous it is to brand a person a witch without proof.

I would like to share my current situation on this platform , and I will very much appreciate your mature advice on the issue.

I have been having issues with my wife after our first born, we married about 3 years ago, our first born is now about 2 years old, we have been having series of issues In the marriage, my wife argues with me a lot on flimsy issues at times, we do not have constant sex, although I started helping more in the house,I cook and and I do the laundry , and asked her to give me my share of the work, when she complained about work load,I am the only one really working now, and paying 98 percent of the bills.

I told my wife that I will like us to be eating together on the same plate to improve closeness, she refused, she sees arguement as normal discussion, sometimes we have sex once or twice in a month, I have told her I will like us all to attend the same church and pray together, but she still attends her Nigerian church online , where they are always seeing vision , and I do not like her attending that church.she also attends online services of my church with me, but I would like us to be attending one church even if it is not my church.
I asked her recently that we need to be praying together for our marriage even if it is 10 minutes every day, after weeks of no response from her,I approached her yesterday and scolded her about it, she cried and I comforted her, I later asked her at night to come for the prayer,and she said she is not coming.
We live abroad and my mum wants to pay us a visit,
She told me the kitchen is her's and my mum should not enter the kitchen, and I told her that it will be difficult, we can pre cook all our food, But she might need to make tea and I will like her to be able to do that by her self , but my wife refused.
In her church she is attending they already branded. My mother a witch. Even if my mother is a witch, we only need to pray against it, should we humiliate her when she visits us? I cannot make my wife my mother, she does not show me much love and does not show that she cares, neither does she respect me. My mum shows me love that I can feel.

Now we are living like neighbours in the same house.
Do you think she is interested in the marriage or has another plan?
Based on your story, there is another plan.
Based on your story, a lot of information is being left out. I see through this write-up and you are not the saint.
She is not either

yinkaOdutuyo:
Is not a problem, but I don't think is proper for me to be feeding her, even when she's in her parent house bro.
Please don't feed her in her father's house. You would be insulting her father by doing that. Please let the man have some dignity - his daughter may not understand the ego of a man.

Since she isn't you wife and might decide not to marry you later, I believe you have helped her financially enough. Look for someone in your family and assist.

EducationRe: How To Deal With Students Choosing Two Answers in Exam Objective Questions. by Shokoloko(f): 1:18pm On Dec 04, 2021
Mercychen:
Hello house.

As we all know, the end of term examination is ongoing and I observed something very annoying and uncceptable in the students . Though it's not a new thing neither is it the first time they are doing such.

I've noticed that some students are fond of choosing two answers, leaving you with the task of choosing the correct answer for them.
When this happens, sometimes, you're caught between marking it wrong or making the choose for them, which I find incriminating and unethical.

This period, I've had to deal with this same issue ( even though I've warrned them severally to always pick only one answer) but this time I made up my mind to mark such answers wrong even if one of the two happens to be correct and that's exactly how I've been handling this issue but sometimes, I feel it's a bit harsh of me to just fail a student even when he got one of the answers correct.

So, is my approach to this issue right or wrong?

What of a situation where a student does this with the whole questions in a section? Should I go ahead and cancel the whole section or help him choose the correct answer?

Your inputs, please. This is becoming a common trend among them and it's not funny.
Two answers means the student does NOT know the answer.

Its not about looking wicked. Mark it wrong - that is the standard of exams. Only one answer must be marked

I saw a post on twitter who Sylvester's dad is.
Oromoni is chairman environmental task force in delta state, he stole monies meant for its worker's welfare to spend on his son sending him to a school in faraway lagos.
Are there no good schools in delta state?
This is why lagos will keep making noise about generating large chunk of the VAT shared accross states.
Robbing peter to pay paul and neglecting those whowould have been employed by peter.
12 yearold in a boarding school faraway from home.

See the man sef, na original suffer him suffer before govt come favour am. Instead of trying to use his office to accomodate those who r not opportuned and fortunate to be up there, he is oppressing them.

Make oromoni getat
I know this man and his family. He did not make money today. I worked in a bank for years a long time ago and I had access to see his different account balances. If they remove the chairmanship from this man, it wont make a dent in his pocket.

Dearest Naija women, this is 2021. If you want a child, no husband forthcoming, fck societal rules and get that child.

Even if it takes stealing sperm, steal it!

After all, they always use lux soap to waste it inside bathroom. Is it that 1 drop they gave you that will kill them?

Don’t stay and be asking “did you come inside?” at 38. Or drinking postinor 2 upandan.

Children would love you in good and bad. Dirty mummy, fat mummy, stretch marks mummy, mummy is mummy.

Don’t allow hypocritical Nigerians dictate how you live your life. Especially when you are not harming anyone.



Why are you guys pained?

Shebi men don’t benefit from marriage? Oya give us small sperm na. Ntoorr! tongue
No! No! No!
Even if it takes stealing sperm, steal it!

Please send me a PM if you are planning to go through Cotonou this month. Departure to Cotonou is next week, hang around for 14 days. Take a Covid test and move.
The COVID deaths and patients in Canada are increasing. Trust their government to add flu deaths to the COVID number. In my opinion, I dont see this ban being lifted in Feb. I hope I am wrong

You broke it through determination!
I didnt have a single determination. I just kept praying. One day I went to have a soda and it just didnt taste right, I threw that bottle away and got another and it didnt taste right. After trying out four bottles of the same type I went on to other types and they didnt taste right but strangely food and water tasted right.
I still cannot figure it out. I know this doesn't happen to a lot of people, 99% of the time there has got to be some effort, but somehow I bypassed all those stages. It also happened with Nzu - that white chalky stuff that ladies love.
Made me so anaemic but I couldnt just stop. One day I settled down to eat a small bag (you read that right - a bag) and it did not taste right. I threw away my bag and that was the end.

Apologies for my typos. As a student of history, I am open to fact based criticisms and not hearsay. From my calculations, this is about Two hundred and twenty-one years old(221 years) history!!! I look forward to getting contradictions from the same period or beyond.

Considering that most people cannot trace their origin beyond their great grandfather or great great grandfather at most, then you would appreciate how reliable this piece of history is.

But why don't these NDLEA officers go to open drug markets like bridge head market in Onitshahuh Those guys in open drug markets are connected with these illegal drug supplies! Like that case of Chima Obi who was arrested in Yobe en route Borno, I'm sure his consignment came from bridge head Onitsha.

If NDLEA wants to win the war against illicit drugs (especially opioids and other psychoactive prescription drugs), then they need to beam their searchlights to those open drug markets! If not, they can never win the war against illicit drugs!
I'm interested in researching about this point
