Handsomejok: I am not willing to give her away to a stranger outside the country. I will rather send her to a motherless home until her mother will be available to pick her up because her mother is alive she is just nowhere to be found and I can't make the decision on her behalf. Also my family has nothing to do with my downfall because I was doing well for 7 years before I got married everything was fine and if truly the bad luck was from my family then my business would have not been successful for that long. What if her mother never comes to pick her up. Would you prefer you child to be raised in an orphanage when there is opportunity for her to be raised much much better. Will you be coming to visit her there? If yes, what stops her "witchcraft" from following you home. What makes you think that the orphanage will not adopt her out to another couple? Please reconsider. I do not mind you knowing my family home so you see my extended family in Nigeria. Once she is an adult she can contact you if she wishes - I will not stop her as the bond between us would have been solidified. |

Handsomejok: I have a big problem � I separated with my wife because she was a witch and the cause of my downfall. I had the custody of our daughter who is now 1 years 6 months old. After getting rid of the witch I taught my business will be better than before but no. Things become even hard for me I started experiencing body pain and unknown sickness and we have been to church where I was told my daughter Is a witch her mother has given her the mission to kill me. After prayers and fasting my health is getting better now and I have been to 2 different churches just to confirm that my daughter is a witch and yes it is true. I have packed her stuffs and i took her to her mother but she is doesn't stay there anymore and I don't know her new address. I am not a wicked person but I don't want her in my house because I don't want to harm her and regret it. What do I have to do with a witch The bad luck following you is from your own family. You also have a lying spirit from your family following you that gives wrong messages to pastors. If you really do not want her and you are willing to legally allow someone adopt her, send me a PM. I will have her join me here in Canada - thankfully she is young enough to not remember that she had a family before now. I will deliver her, and though I wont let you contact her again I will give you updates about how your "witch" is succeeding and bringing light into my family's life. From a young age I knew I would adopt many children after having mine. Perhaps this is the time Send me a PM please |

Emarvel: I mean not to insult you buh keep quiet, drop your pen and think well before you write again. His parents are not dragging the property with him, unless the OP is schooling abroad, there's really no point why he should be furious about this. Even if you give birth to 20 children abroad, none of them will come here and drag the property. Living abroad and having a house in Naija, is just like saving for the rainy day, should incase you're deported, you'll have a place to stay. Buh other than that, if you live all your good life abroad, none of your children abroad will come to Naija and drag property. Logically, it makes no sense, having a house and your parents are in rent. Are you opposed to the teachings of the bible? 1. OP is not furious he is confused. 2. There is this pervasive entitlement mentality in Nigeria that is wrong. If OPs parents had told him before the rent expired that they were going to move into his home and spend the rent money on something, that would have been a different scenario. They would have discussed it. If Ops parents consulted him I will know that they are the type that respects his decision and when the time comes to move they will move, but they moved in and make arrangements and told him after they had finished. I am sure they are lovely people but they do not seem to have a lot of regard for what their son thinks 3. Dont assume that kids born in the diaspora do not want to return. The only thing keeping a flood of Nigerians in diaspora is the security situation in the country which by the grace of God will be resolved. 4. Even if I put down my pen and remain quiet till tomorrow the bible remains unchanged: inheritance is not for parents.This position remains except OP states that he is not a Christian then we can look to advice from another perspective |

mastermaestro: People like you will always be helpless and stranded in your greatest moments of needs. I am not in anyway cursing you though. You are advising him to uproot his parents and send them back to a rented apartment when there is a free empty house?  Its great that you said People like me and not me per se. Go and look at my posts: I have never been left helpless and stranded in my moment of need Curses do not work if not the President would not be hale and hearty by now. OP's parents are not in need. I didnt ask OP to abandon his parents. I asked OP to send money for them to rent a good and standard place. What they require is shelter; they do not require OPs personal house. Proverbs 13:22: “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.” (NKJV) Not a good man leaves inheritance for his parents. That house is for OP's children and children's children. He should honour his parents by providing reasonable shelter, and not by providing an inheritance for his parents. Also note that OP's wife contributed in building this home. (Please search for her own thread). If it was her parents that moved in without consent would people think they did well? |

DWJOBScom: it's tough when they have settled to ask them to leave the house - trust me.
It's best right now before it becomes tough. I have seen brothers reluctant to leave a house they were squatting o pending the return of the owner.
It's best they go back to the rented apartment immediately Please follow this advice. |

Kehindeaj78: I live outside the country but I entrusted my house development with my parents in Nigeria, but they leave in a rented apartment. They're are due for new rent payment at their rented apartment which i sent them the money, only for them to call me that they don't want to rent another apartment again and have moved into my ongoing house and used the money to do somethings in the ongoinghouse. What do I do? If you do not ask them to move to their rented place now, you will never be able to ask them to leave anymore. My suggestion is to uproot this little plant before it develops a root. Since they used the money to fix your house, thank them and send them money again to get their own place. |
Food › Re: See the meal a churchy Nigerian almost made me missed today. by Shokoloko(f): 6:48pm On Oct 03, 2021 |
Hardeysolution: You've done quite well.
I'll like to say a few things before I comment on the major thing.
1. People don't go to hell fire because of what you think. It's because they have refused to accept Jesus Christ. If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour, then he will direct your steps into what or what not to do.
2. God is not a barbaric God that throws people into hell like some goddess or stuffs. It doesn't work that way. I think it's important we all have encounter of the person of God so we don't remain shallow.
3. There's something knowing God does for us. It's not about going to church primarily. It just makes us want to please God. And this is not a religious running about - it is a life. So if it hasn't happened to you, even though you go to church - and you don't know God - it's just jamboree.
Now to the topic itself,
The lady preaching to you didn't come to ask you to leave where you're going to eat. She's only inviting you to church. She's inviting you to ensure you receive from God.
Now this is important - it's not about church but about your heart.
Now I need to ask,
Why do you think you sold better today and then felt the sister was about to do you a bar thing? Did you know read that your God is the God of the times and seasons.
I see few things,
1. Lack of trust in the God you claim to know. 2. Lack of understanding of the God you claim to serve 3. Shallow knowledge in the things of God 4. Christianity to you isn't about God but about the things you can get from God
Now this is the summary,
Whether you get to sell better or not, you have only decided to show your love for what you want. If you trust God, whether now or later, you'll seek him - not just in church but everywhere.
Just imagine, your friends have a party to attend, or your parent called for a meeting that's emergency or there's a match or a movie... You would probably have missed the sales too and truthfully, you're not always at seat for sales so you have missed several hot moment for sales.
God is the one that owns times and chances. Trust him and when to eat or not, when to move or not becomes easy and it won't cost you anything to leave your trade for him.
Look at the Muslims, they can't say the same thing you've come hear to say. Whatever it is, they leave it to pray.
Selah Well said. You seem to be on the right track. Christianity not religion. |

Omicron007: Fellow Nairalanders,
I bought one small sized apple the other day for Two Hundred Naira. After consuming the fruit, I began to reminisce on how I have planted apple seeds as a young kid and watered them every time. Sadly, none of the seeds I planted was able to germinate.
Growing up, I once heard that Apples cannot grow in Nigeria because the land is not fertile enough.
So, does apple really grow in this country? Have you seen an apple tree? I love when people try to find solutions. I hope you are able to find out how to grow apples in Nigeria. Try this

Litmus: At work here is another example of the entitled, immature political brain of too many Nigerians that is without sense or perspective. Misunderstanding international politics and social movements that encompass human rights, this type of annoying Nigerian believes the world is sympatric to his cause, which is in reality not a special cause. I bet he was telling himself before he struck the Nigeria Government Official , ‘this is the West, and not Nigeria, where you people act “Big Man, Big Man”, here in the west I can do you anything and you cant touch me because I’m protected by the law !’. He then proceeded and slapped the Official. What he forgot, however, was that in the West the law is meant to protect everyone. In the West, unlike in Nigeria, the poor or ordinary people are not automatically granted moral authority due to societal guilt at not being able to provide, create jobs or grant security for the so-called poor masses. Government is not frightened by the prospect of you running to complain to the West, you’re already in the West. And in that West, just as the “Big Man” is not above the law by virtue of his wealth, the poor man is not above the law either by virtue of his poverty. For slapping the minister, he can expect arrest, prosecution and penalty, should the Official press charges. The official knows he cannot press charges as he pushed the protesters first. In a simple street fight without fatality the rule is "first to make contact is at fault" |

kazyhm: If women are agitating against men bathing their daughters....I think the op's wife should stop kissing her son in the mouth. What is wrong with a man bathing his daughter that is less than 6 years old. The problem is that ladies for want of marriage go and marry pedophiles (yes, they see the signs) and start shouting men are bad, men are scum ( which is a downright lie) Then these men molest their own children and the women now say "protect children from their fathers" My dad was the one who cleaned my bum as a toddler. I was told I would wait for him to start eating his dinner then I would bring my potty close to him and start baby-gisting with him and doing my poop business. |

bobontop: My wife is fond of kissing my 6months boy in the mouth. I personally don't like this and I have told her to stop it but she refused.
This issue in causing a serious argument in my home and I want to take a serious action since she has refused to stop it.
Please I need advice from experienced parents.
I was abused sexual as a child by a cousin staying with us and there are cases of incest around me. I don't want any of this to happen to my son.
The teenage girl staying with us always sees my wife kissing my son in the mouth and I am afraid she my copy it and start doing it.
Please am I wrong? Am I over reacting? Is it a normal practice? Please advise me.

omooba969: Unless one of them specifically states that they want out, I will favour 'meaningful engagement' on the problems over temporary separation. Oh my brother/sister., you have not seen wicked people. Some people will never say they want out o. They have no plans to change, they like status quo, they just do not want their spouse to move on. I counselled a couple and the lady was very depressed. Her spouse was quite critical and she felt like she was walking on egg shells. The young man used to call his wife "you people". The man told me that he didn't see a need to stop comparing his wife to his girlfriends because he wanted her to maintain that diva standard and look good. He said he was satisfied in the marriage and didn't want out. But he felt his style of relationship was good and in the long run his wife would see that he meant the best for her. I really felt that lady needed a temporary break. (At least to start eating 3 times daily: she was eating only twice to maintain her figure) Anyways, in some cases I agree that meaningful engagement definitely is a great option as long as both are genuinely seeking solutions. |

Amhappy: If you divorce na who go come take care of the children? Start from no more church except Sundays. Call the elders if necessary. Stamp your feet down That woman goes to church only twice a week. two times a week to go to church is not bad. What if she derives happiness from the church; It is risky for her spouse to take away her happiness as a punishment. It will not make the marriage better. I believe this man here is overwhelmed with chores. They need a househelp. The woman needs to accept that they bring in someone to do chores weekly |

omooba969: With the prescription of separation, both will definitely feel differently about their marriage.
It's helpful to engage husband and wife in talking about their problems rather than trying to run away from their shadows...in the guise of temporary separation. I agree. And that was why I said if they talk and come to a stalemate then they can separate temporarily. Only one person cannot save a marriage |

omooba969: @bolded, is often a recipe for disaster coz as interim separation helps to figure out if we indeed love/miss our partner, it also has the tendency to create a vacuum; providing us with the chance to ponder better on reasons we don't need our partners again.
Very dicey! If temporary separation can create a vacuum strong enough to destroy the marriage, it has no foundation. History is replete with stories of people who did not see themselves for 3, 7, 10 years and still got back together and lived happily ever after. If after 3 months of separation, the spouse feels so good that he/she needs to make it permanent that relationship was a sham in the first place. |

neonly: On d contrary I have ask her if she tired abt d relationship and she said no with a smile on her face I can never forget d evening dat was one of d reason dat gave me hope abt us So it is weird that she is answering such a serious question with a smile. She is supposed to be worried and curious: that question is pregnant. But lets assume she is someone that smiles all the time In that case you need to tell her that you are tired and unhappy. When people are about to lose something they either grab and hold it tight or they turn away. If you tell her. That will give her an opportunity to express herself. I also feel that you are overwhelmed by the chores at home. You might need a househelp |

If anything happens to you family will adjust in less than 6 months. If you leave are you planning to leave with the kids? They might be happier with you. Age is not on your side, I believe that after 40 people should try to make themselves happy. At this point you need to either cling to your partner like never before or take a break from the relationship. Your mental health is key. You can only cling to your partner if she realises that this marriage is about to break and is willing to cling to you until the storm passes. So you have to talk with your spouse? Ask her if she is tired? Let her know that you are tired as well. Ask her if she is willing to communicate and cross this stage. Then tell her what you do not like that she is doing and LISTEN to her reasons why she is doing it. If there is a stalemate, both of you should still come together and discuss how you plan to separate temporarily amicably. |

I was expecting you to exaggerate facts but you didn't. Well done. From what I gather she is home from 3pm in the afternoon and home from 6.30pm daily. Now, that your first child needs to start helping, he can take over the light chores. I will let you know that some relationships expire, when the two partners grow in different directions. Lets explore your feelings when you are not with your spouse for a couple of days: When you travel for contracting, do you feel your peace return when you are away from her? Are you relaxed when you are away from home. That will give you an idea of what you will feel if you decide to separate. |
