Rotflmao @ Ile's in the "Sad" event"

Hahahahaha! You slay me!!!

lagcity: Wow. Fola's mum showed maturity and good judgment. After hearing of the daughter's BF, some mothers might freak out and leave the young couple no choice than to go underground with their romance. At that point, the parents wont know zilch about what's going on anymore. But with the way she played it, she's likely to stay in the loop and know what's going on.
Rather than sticking their heads in the sand and rejecting the inevitable, I think parents should gently guide their children and come to terms with the inevitable developments that might be awkward and uncomfortable.

Winneygirl: I love the subtle approach.
These are 2 young ones going into a new phase....and rather than have parents freaking out and threatening fire and brimestone, we have parents who are ready to let them take a few steps while being close enough to guide them.
Subtle but firm enough in my opinion.

I agree with you both and want to reiterate the point (because it bears repeating a million times over) that this can only happen because Fola's mom (Parents) is more than likely not "The Hide yo daughter in the attic but send your son into the world with a Be Fruit and Multiply badge kinda parent. If she were, her daughter would be taking the under G route.

Good for her, I say!!!!

Now this is getting interesting!!!!

Can't wait for updates!!

ileobatojo: Some people are truly sick in the head. Too dumb to realize they need help for their stu*pidity.

#pointless existence

Bwahahahahahaha!!!!

The harshtag...HILARIOUS!!!!!!

Lord have Mercy.

pekelepekele: Go and pour acid on her nah . I think that is what is trending now among jealous women like you and end up in jail .

In case you women don't know this . Your children are what you should focus on in any relationship . We men na human being . Always judge everyman with the way your own father treated your mother that way you will understand men better

You are are being facetious, yes?

You better be oh coz ehn....God help us all.

biolabee: *yawn

What the....What are we in grade school?!!

What will you do next...stick your tongue out? Blow Raspberries?!!

Jeeedus! All Sorts!!

Jidegirl the lioness!!!

I Like it!!

biolabee: i think its more of equality for equality's sake

Dude do you ever have a point (or get the point)?!!!

Like for real?!!!

bukatyne: You do not understand my point: [size=18pt]Train both boys and girls properly and the consequences will reduce. Shikena! Nobody is talking of equality or inequality here[/size]

Brilliant!!!!

Men - She must get pregnant before marriage oh, who knows how many abortions she's had...her womb might be damaged.

Men - She has children out of wedlock? Tufia! Who wants to deal with someone that irresponsible.

Men - My Ideal Bride is a pregnant virgin who is not a mother before marriage.

Women - https://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/22.gif

I forgot to ask....if Teen Dating/boyfriend and girlfriend is not about sex as some have proffered why are we scared of our daughters getting pregnant? Abi do we have a buncha Marys on our hands?

bukatyne: It's not even an issue of equality.

If parents trained BOTH boys and girls to flee pre-martial sex, don't you think that teenage pregnancy and all other consequences would reduce? As the difference made girls shun pre-martial sex?

God didn't plan different rules else the punishment for adultery/fornication would differ from male to female

You know...this is the exact point a friend brought up yesterday when we discussed this issue. He said the teen girls who get pregnant did not get that way on thier own, so instead of locking one set of children away and throwing the key then turn around and pat another set on the head why not educate them ALL instead.

The pride should come not from keeping them from temptation but teaching them to look at temptation in the eye, say "Ain't nobody got time for that" and walk away.


Dating is not a big deal, it is all part of the progression of life but we have given it more value by doing two things..

1) Forbidding it thereby make it more tempting.
2) Celebrating it like it's some grand achievement.

Either way....if care is not taken, we may be inadvertently writing a check we can't cash.

@ Baba Oyo

Baba Rere please understand this is NOT an indictment on your parenting skills, I believe many here will agree with me that you are fantastic father and hubby (caught up on your romantic getaway with Iya Oyo.... I bow ) this is just general discussion about an everyday, can't be ignored issue. I like that your son is free enough with you to tell you about this...it gives me hope because I know the list of badly behaved teen boys will definitely be short one name. No one can tell you how to raise your children (and I doubt anyone want to either), they are fruit of your loins and no expert no matter how many letters the have after their names can know them like you do.


@ All
I don't understand where the idea that because some of us are not high fiving over a teenager dating, we are being hypocritcal or pretending or burying our heads in the sand etc came from? Again teen dating is a reality that one can't ignore even if they tried to. It is everywhere it permeates everything we do and see...can't turn on the TV without seeing images of teenagers on their first date, discussing their boyfriends/girlfriends, it's on radios. You see them at the malls, shopping centers, on the streets. There is an entire industry dedicated to accommodating them....so how can one pretend it doesn't exist? No, we aren't being hypocritcal....we just don't see what the big todo is (especially when it is made a big nono for a specific set of people) and it has absolutely nothing to do with being unhip or having a bush orientation.

If all girls became "well trained" who are the guys, whose relationship status change we are celebrating and oh so happy for, dating?

If the girls who aren't well trained are the ones who date guys, why are we happy for the guys?

If we have faith in our sons because we have talked to them about being well behaved why don't we have the same faith in our girls and allow them to date?

I don't advocate locking up your kids and forbiding them from dating, Teen dating is a reality we would be silly to ignore but not ignoring it/accepting that reality does not mean we have to celebrate it either.

In my opinion, if you can't open a thread for your teenage daughter dating....you shouldn't open one for your teen son.

On a personal and funny note, Baba Oyo reminds me of my older brothers...I have 3 of them and 1 younger brother (whom I am 3 years older than....3 years oh! 3 Freaking years!!). The day some guy called our house to speak to me, you shoulda seen the expression on my oldest brother's face. He acted like he didn't hear right and when he finally handed me the phone, you could almost hear him going "What the whaaa?" in his head. I took the phone and dude would not leave, he stood their all attention like one of Queen Elizabeth's Royal's guards.

I don't remember what my friend said because I was in a haste to get off the phone. As soon as I hung up, the questions started - Who is that? Why is he calling you? How did it get your number? He has guts oh! Calling you at home blah blah blah...all that righteous indignation from the same dude who was patted my younger brother (whom I am 3 years older than. 3 years oh! 3 freaking years) on the head after his first date.

All four of them had this moment..."oh, their younger brother don growed up". Yet my own dating became such an issue because good girls don't date. So one day, I asked if good girls don't date...why are you dating bad girls? Why do you want to be associated with filth? How do you love someone like that?! Why doncha have any respect yourself? What did I get in return...ehm, ehm, ehm. Yeah that's what I thought https://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/29.gif

Anyhoo, while I understand Baba Oyo's excitement..."his little boy don growed up" ! I'd advice against labeling girls who do date because these are the girls whom your son/brother/nephew...ya know the Awon Big boiz you are happy for, are dating. I mean if those girls are easy, sluts, bad etc...why is getting them something to be proud of?!!

sihom: Sisi Kill in her usual over sabi mode.

Tee hee hee


@Jidegirl

Mami J....that was one hella write up. Thanks jare!

stillwater: Apparently if you don't bark like a rabid dog you are trying to impress the guys here. See logic! Sisi these kind of beasts exist in Nigeria o. These Nigerian women need anger management for real. These are the kind of people that will put a mark on yam, or count the cups of rice so nobody can cook it when they leave the house, tehehe.

Rotflmao!!!

Seriously. ...no joke, I just want to say to some people - RELAX!!!!!

Good God! The energy wasted on the most trivial issues is amazing. Let's not even talk about the repercussions.

Hubby isn't telling her to serve him a certain way (like making sure the cup is within reach or else), he isn't trying to show himself man of the house by commanding and demanding to be served chopchop or else and how does she react. ..she embarrasses him in front of his friend like some mama buka under the bridge who is calling her vulcanizer customers to order....all in the name of declaring the kitchen her zone.

Nooooooonsense.

stillwater: Tired of all these local stories.

Rotflmao!!!

Alls I'm tired of is stories painting all women as territorial beasts with no gumption....and the people. ...women who agree with them.

Kitchen Zone ko

Kitchen district ni.

dayokanu:
Ileoba, Coogar said you are a potent witchdoctor, You come highly reccommended, Can you turn me to sisikills keyboard button so she can do the bolded to me?

Rotflmao!

You don't wanna be banged that way....trust me.

armyofone: You know, I owe you nice egusi soup with bushmeat and plantain amala for dinner.

Hauwa....Plantain Amala?!!

Is that for real or is that a sly way to punish Pataki?

Guys, this isn't just another female...say a friend or a coworker or an ex girlfriend, it is his sister so by hook or by crook they are joined for life. The default wife stance of HER or ME is not...should not even come into the equation. We are going to have to find a way to live together.

I don't blame the women oh, honestly don't...if they didn't have the man in common, their paths would probably not cross. So it is up to the common denominator to make things work between them, to help them set boundaries...he failed to do this in the beginning, yes but there is still time to salvage things.

The wife is more likely angrier at her husband than she is the sister. She wants him to stand up for her, show her that she also matters to him and deserves respect. Except the sister is on this side of crazy wicked, I doubt she really wants to take ownership of her brother's home (What does she stand to gain). She is just taking her cue from her brother and the day he puts his foot down and tells her....RESPECT MY WIFE, not only tells her but shows it too, is the day the sister will know to back off. Someone needs to set the boundaries and that someone is the Husband/Brother. Until he is ready to do that, we will just be torturing our keyboards.

Speaking of Keyboards...Do they sell replacement LETTER Buttons? My I button just came off (all that is left is this tiny white thing I have to bang ten times to get an I...I'm starting to look like a crazed person, it is not even funny....I mean....errr...right okay, so yeah HE should take charge.

There are good and perfect as an angel or horrible godawfully bad persons here, just really really misunderstood people.

Pataki: I think it is wrong for newly married couples to be hosting family relatives in their house for a long period of time. It is maritally unhealthy and goes a long way in making couples not having the perfect bond and true understanding to themselves fully.

This is not about being wracked with guilt. It is about doing the right and most appropriate thing as a couple. Spend time together devoid of family ties. Unfortunately, even if the sister of the husband is angel michael, she is still in the way of this couple.

In an ideal world. ..of course it will be nice for newlyweds to to have their home to themselves but we do not live in an ideal world, so we have to learn to deal with less than ideal circumstances.

Dude does not have to show us his bank account for us to know he can't afford another place for his sister, what they have is the home they are all living in right now and since no one is more or less important than the other....the only solution is for them to work out what is causing the women to be at each other's throat.

Na wa oh!!

Where do people find the energy? Why Why must there be someone vs someone? I mean where people do find the time to monitor what someone else is doing to see if it offends you or not?

I'm sure these women are not sharing a room so if everyone respects themselves, clean up after themselves and mind their own business. ...I honestly don't see why one person has to leave the house patapata for peace to rein. These women don't have to be best of friends but they can leave peacefully abeg.

The husband needs to have a sit down with them....make them understand that they are both important to him and one can't replace the other. So the sooner they find a way to get along the better. Let them talk about what is causing friction between them (knowing how women are, it's probably something like one didn't like the way the other left the bathroom or kitchen after use and they should let that irritation fester until it became full blown anger over every little thing). There should be ground rules (We think adults should know better than to be told how to act but sometimes you gotta treat some people like children. So set rules).

I have a question for the women on the side of kicking the sister out...I am sorry but I gotta ask, how does your husband kicking his sister out of his house make you happy? I mean how does would one find pleasure in being in the middle of a rift between your husband and someone from his family without being wracked with guilt?!!

Sigh!!

In the olden olden days, woman had no life without men.

In the olden days women needed lives so they had to get men. After exhaustive research, the experts came to the brilliant conclusion that the sure fire way to a man's heart is through his gorodom of a belly. A woman who wants life had better learn how to cook.

You see, in the the olden olden days if a man stepped into the kitchen his abunna will instantly fall off rendering errr....Manless, so any chances of him touching a pot let alone putting water in one to boil was zilch to none and since man must wack, it is not too hard to guess who does the cooking. Yep, back then, the greatest compliment a man could give a woman was allowing her to spend hours on end cooking and serving him. (Be still my heart)

A man who does not eat his wife's food must be eating food somewhere after all man must wack, since man who must wack can not not enter kitchen, it means a woman cooked for him, since cooking for a man is the way to his heart,it means the other woman whose food he is eating wants in....therefore not eating his wife's food is punishment to the wife because - It don mean she finna lose her man. ^{*Ghetto snaps*}

In conclusion - For a Better Life Tomorrow, Cook For your Husband Today!!!

Thank you.

Finally, what is truly worrisome about this post is being addressed - Who the HELL died and made OP the identifier of orientations.

I do hope the father of the boy is truly reading this because I have one word for him - RUN!!!

Run as far your can from the OP because he is going to lead you astray. Yes, there is a problem with what is going on with your son and it needs to be addressed ASAP but please, please, please keep him away from this man, he is not concerned about your son, he is more concerned about the accurateness of his gaydar. He has nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to offer you.

You and your wife need to sit with your son....talk to him (without reproach), find what he knows and how he came about that knowledge. Please, please, Please don't let anyone label your son what he is not and don't use whatever warped ideas have been planted in your head by Dr. Phil wannabe affect how you treat him. The last thing...the very last thing you want to do is alienate your young son. Something weird is going on somewhere and he needs to know he has a safe refuge in his parents arms.

Good Luck.

On a side note, It's one of these times I wish Nigerian schools are equipped with well trained counselors.

11. This definitely happens at every family reunion.

Friday Fun!!

Whether you’re fresh of the boat or a second generation immigrant, if your family is from anywhere in sub-saharan Africa, you can probably relate.

1. Your parents always talk about how they had to walk 5,000 miles to get to school. Barefoot. Across a mountain. With a goat

I still can't wrap my head around how anyone can walk up to a parent and tell them their 5 years old has homosexual traits. I don't get that, I honestly don't....I mean who died and made you sexual orientation spotter? No wonder the poor parents are in a panic.

As for the parents, why weren't they alarmed when the child was sent home for fingering another girl or is it just the "homosexual tendencies" they are worried about?!! If they had investigated and got to the bottom of that behavior when the fingering happened, chances are he won't be caught in the bathroom....doing that with another guy but no oh...they probably thought "Boys will be boys".

Nonsense.

Let's get her nakid...that will teach not to dress half-nakid

Yep, that makes total sense!!!

Perverts.

dayokanu: Na this kain thing dey make marriage a do or die things for women.

And if you notice its their fellow women who kick them out

So Bola and Bunmi were friends who stay in each others house while single, Bola suddenly gets married, Bunmi goes to visit and she is ushered away for fear of her sleeping with her friends Husband.

Why wont the friend now want to find Husband by force to avoid such embarrassment from her friend

I dont see how any guy would stop his friend from coming to visit for fear of sleeping with your spouse

Sad but true.


Slightly off topic
Ile and Coogar. ...you two will make great comedy partners. I'm cracking up here coz of y'all's back and forth.

dayokanu: Yesterday one woman flushed her child in the toilet, So lets take infants from their mothers so they dont flush them away

Lmao....Exactly!!!

Doncha just love that kinda specious reasoning?

Lmao

All sorts of orisirisi.

SMDH!

This denouncement would make more sense if the real Nigerians weren't doing what he did and even worse everyday.

Your moral huffying and puffing would make more sense if the world was totally UNAWARE of what is going on in the real Nigeria.

Right now all they hear is a buncha people who hate themselves, people who are now immune to seeing bits and pieces of human flesh flying in air after Sunday Sunday bombing, people who have no qualms burning themselves, feigning offense at the media calling a body hacker Nigerian. Considering what happens in our country....what else do ya expect them to call him? He fits, right in no?

dayokanu: Now we are talking.

Telling these women to leave abusive relationships when they dont have any means to survivve other than those same abusive men is Dead on arrival

First step empower these women to be financially independent.

Yorubas say "Bi owo eni ko ba te eeku ida, a ki bere iku to pa Baba eni - Literal translation : Until you are empowered with a sword before you can demand to know what killed your father

My name is Inigo Montoya....You killed my father. Prepare to Die!!!


Lmao!! I don't know why that was the first thing that came to mind when I read that.

Sorry! Sorry! Y'all carry on! Serious topic here. https://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/65.gif

omiobo: Don't judge this kind of thread with carnal mind. To you it is not given,therefore speak less of what you don't know. Don't call God's revelation nonsense.

She stated she prayed to God that if they help is not the right one for her, let her not come yet the help made it there. Because of her non-carnal mind, she accepted that the help is meant to be there even though the woman does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SHE WAS HIRED TO DO. Now she is relying on dreams of doves, seals, dolphins lined up in the blue skies spelling the words DANGER to make the right decision when common sense which our God in his infinite mercies has richly bestowed on us is all she needed to make her decision.

Lemme ask you this, imagine if you will that you have a child who is SMART, ARTICULATE, SAVVY, SCHOOLED yet every morning you have to tell him get up from bed, walk to bathroom, take clothes off, enter shower, turn on faucet, scrub body, rinse body, dry body, wear underwear, wear uniform, wear socks, wear shoe, pick up bag, go to dining room, sit on chair, pick up spoon, scoop cereal, put in mouth, chew cereal..in short step by step process of how to get ready in the morning.

Let's say one day someone interrupts you right the middle of your routine and 3 hours later you come back to see your INTELLIGENT, SCHOOLED child standing there...still in his underwear. Why? Because he is waiting on you to tell him what to do next. Be sincere, won't you first give him one back hand before you even think about it? Don't you have common sense, you will more than likely ask...do I have to tell you everything before you know what to do?

Remember that anger and the ridiculousness of the entire thing the next time you wait for sign from God to fire someone who isn't doing what you hired them for....or when to cross the road.

Carnal ko, Kernel ni.

Awwwww!! It is sooooo nice to see women standing up for one another, it almost wants to make me cry....Oh eff this, I am crying right here. This is soooooo nice to see this all for one moves...too bad it's for the wrong reasons.

As I stated earlier, personally I woulda jetted outta there before you can say Here comes the Bride...because I have very little patience for marriage drama, especially when it is not my own making, life is too short to be walking on eggshells. I don't believe suffering in marriage will make it sweeter or better or whatever and this is the reason I will be outta there so fast, y'all won't see my tail light. Yes, in this case...it will be all about ME! ME! ME!!!

If however I am supposed to put someone else's feelings in the equation, trust me the last person it will be is the WOMAN...I don't care if she has 100 babies for him and she's been there for 1000 years. My fellow women are taking up are cause solely on the fact that he didn't marry her after 17 years and 4 children, ladies...ladies...ladies please do you really think if she wanted to marry him, they won't be at the alter before he knew what hit him? In this our Nigeria? The same country young men are opening thread frightened out of their skulls because people are pressuring them to marry their baby mama? Come now!!!

I know I'll be caned for it but let's be honest...we all know when it comes to marriage after pregnancy, the woman almost always holds the cards. Very few men can withstand the pressure mounted on them from every angle by putting their foot down and saying NO, I AIN'T GETTING MARRIED. More often than not, as long as the woman shows interest in getting married....the man has little or no choice.

As much as I love the collective Rah! Rah! Rah! we are women hear us roar happening on this thread, In my opinion...it is wasted because the woman is NOT a victim. Hell no!
