Benita27:Yes we do need to applaud them for that. Imagine what happened to me one time at Muritala Airport about 6 years ago. I was returning to the US, dude at the airport was going through my entire luggage taking out everything and inspecting them. That was weird to me. After he did all that, he ended up asking me if he could have my hairclippers. That's one of the items in my luggage. I probably had about 5 others at home then and told him he could have it and he did. That was a weird request though, but he took it anyways. That was weird to me because the hairclippers were designed for the 110 volts the US uses, not the 220 volts in Nigeria. Plus, I can't understand why he needed someone else's hairclippers. That stuff only costs about $20. I can't use anyone else's clippers, not sure why he wanted it so badly. Even I had to use a portable step-down transformer i brought with me to use it in Nigeria. I bet he was just going to plug that stuff directly when he gets home, and it's just going to explode or melt. That was what he asked for and I gave it to him. Very weird request from a supposed immigration person at the Lagos International Airport. Trained dogs do a better job than many folks working in Nigerian airports, dogs don't look for clippers, they look for drugs and other contraband they can smell since dogs can't talk. |
That's how it should be done. Humans can't smell what some specially trained dogs can smell. Even at the airports in the US, Canada and UK, they use sniffer dogs to sniff out luggage and identify those with contraband in them. So, it's normal in my opinion. |
mexxmoney:Oh wow. Are there different versions of the Quran? I thought they all read the same book. Different translations? |
GreatSE:Isn't muslim same? Do Yoruba-muslims read a different Quran from fulani-hausa muslims? Why the disparity? |
Amebo1:I don't think that's what happened to him. His flight was Emirates, Emirates don't have direct flights to Nigeria from the US, so there was a stop-over somewhere. Most likely somewhere in the middle-east. He definely had time to relax till his layover ended. So it wasn't because he was sitting in one position for long. I have taken a few direct flights to Nigeria via Delta airlines, about 10-11 hour direct flight, I didn't die at the airport. My last trip was via KLM- about 8 hours first to Amsterdam, I didn't die there and another 7 hours to Abuja, I didn't die there either. I didn't die at the airport like he did. I even returned to the US these many times and didn't die at the US airports. So, there's more to his death than just sitting on a plane for too long. |
Amebo1:Could you please sub-title this comment of yours in English? ![]() |
Please what is e-passport? My Nigerian passport expired years ago, is this the new Nigerian passport? Mature responses pls. I just don't know what this is and would appreciate a mature guidance on what this is. Thanks. |
fineboynl:Sir, People usually swallow coke when they're going from Nigeria to US, not when they're coming from US back to Nigeria. Are we thinking backwards here? |
glossy6:Oh wow. |
Papiikush:But if he's dead, don't Muslims get buried within 24 hours? Are you thinking he's buried in London? |
Of course I will. Only on one condition - if for one reason or the other, I eventually run mad and don't know what to do with money anymore ![]() |
Cat head? And na one babe go still kiss this one? Chai, women don suffer. |
How is UN supposed to understand what she's saying when she's not saying it in English? |
Harrisee: |
Wow, 18 year old in JSS 2? That was my age when I was writing SSCE. Lol |
Maduawuchukwu:I was thinking that's what I need to do, but it's hard. We have two beautiful kids together. They need both of us. It's hard, I swear, but if I have to do it, I'll just do it and move on with life. |
Maduawuchukwu:Actually, my wife actually came back and apologized for her actions, I apologized for mine too. She said she didn't want to lose her family, I didn't want to either. She was my best friend, she knows everything about me. We kissed, hugged, and spent the night together with the kids in their room. What happened afterwards? Next day she woke up, made a few calls and went back to her crazy mode. May be someone she told about us working on getting back together gave her a different advice. How could someone that just came to make up yesterday suddenly want to break up tomorrow? It's like she really doesn't have a mind of her own. People around her direct her and tell her what to do. Her friends and her parents. But for me, I've been freely making my own decisions for over 25 years now. My mom doesn't interfere in my marriage, neither do my siblings. I don't interfere in their marriages either. So I had a problem with her mom showing up at my house controlling how she wants things done. I have a mom too, but she's not as petty as hers is. My mom rather supports us in prayers, rather her mom wants trouble, but I already know how to handle their type when it gets to it. |
FortuneTeller:Thanks again for the kind words. As per money, I take care of that, I've always done that regardless of if we are together or not. I just did earlier this morning via Google wallet when she called about what the kids need. I believe it's my responsibility as a dad and have no reason to deprive my kids and her of what they need. On the argument piece of her, God knows 100 angels can't sit me down to listen to an angument. I'll just walk away when things get argumentative. I hate being around arguments like crazy, I just walk away. My wife hated that piece of me. When she wants to start an argument, I just grab my car keys and leave without saying nothing back. That upsets her, so I never had to hit her whenever she starts that madness. She got smarter and started hiding my car keys from me before she starts an argument, but she forgot I had spare keys for both of my cars. I'd just run to which ever one to avoid her wahala. Just getting away sometimes hurt her more that hitting her, that's what I do, I never hit her before,I just drive off and go anywhere, that hurts her more because she wants to argue and I dont. |
FortuneTeller:My wife is not crazy like that, she's just easily manipulated by crazy people around her. I'm the crazy one in our home. I'm probably crazier than you, I just compose when it comes to my family. Lol |
FortuneTeller:Thanks for the advice. My wife is actually a great person regardless of our cultural differences. She just suddenly changed. I'm sure we can fix that, I can't imagine starting all over with a random woman I know nothing about. I just need her to get back to her senses. She forgave me for my past actions, I'll forgive her for whatever she did too. But the problem now is she's impossible to talk to. 80% of our phone conversations end up in an argument. I don't like arguments, she knows that about me but that's exactly what happens now. I'm praying over it though, the wife I married is different from the wife I have now. I guess that's probably my destiny on marriage. Life goes on anyways. |
Daboomb:I appreciate your comment. Thanks. I've always been a truthful person all my life, I don't lie. I say things how they are and brace up for the consequences of my actions. I'm not a perfect person, like some of us reading this aren't either, but I don't hide anything from my spouse. I was a male-hoe when I met my wife. I had several women around me and she was just one of them. She even met some of them before. As soon as me and her got serious, I left that life. I stopped talking to all the girls I was messing with and we started planning towards a family. She got pregnant with my son 7 years ago, so I became a family man. I never slept with any woman except her. We flew to Las Vegas for our wedding and started our little home. At some point, my job took me to Cleveland, Ohio. Her and our son were here in Atlanta, but we talked everyday after I'm done with work. My job then paid for my hotels in Ohio. All I did was just work, go back to my hotel room, talk to my family on the phone and went to sleep afterwards. I swear, that was my life back then, I never did anything else. All of a sudden, she started accusing me about sleeping with other women in Ohio. I wasn't messing with anyone, but she kept saying that. She even called me one time after work and asked who was the lady's voice she just heard. That was the TV, it was some random person on TV I don't know. I turned off the TV and she ended up telling me I told the girl to keep quiet because of her. Within me, I knew she was wrong. I had never slept with anyone in Ohio back then, but she constantly accused me of sleeping with every girl in Ohio. Next day, before I knew it she drove all the way from Atlanta to Cleveland Ohio where I was without telling me. An 11 hour drive. I just came back from work and saw her and my son at the hotel reception. I guess she was assuming i was chilling with one of the girls she had in her head, but i swear i wasnt sleeping with anyone then but her, but she had insecurity issues. She just wanted to know if I was messing around or not. When she returned to Atlanta, she still kept accusing me of cheating on her, which I never did through when me and her got serious. At a point, I was like f.k it, I could as well start doing what she constantly accused me for. I never did it, she accused me of doing it, I could as well just resume doing it and watch her accuse me of doing it like she did when I wasn't doing it. That's when I resumed messing with random women beyond her. |
Daboomb:I appreciate you bro. |
Daboomb:Thanks for your informative response. 1. I have been working around whatever worst case scenario she can come up with. I have funds stashed in Canada and Nigeria. Worst case scenario, I'm bouncing from the US to Canada. I've been there more than 30 times. Let them come and collect child-support and alimony there, I'll have a lawyer waiting to inform them of the laws in Canada. 2. Me and siblings were here, but they returned to Nigeria afterwards. Each have what they're doing. One ended up being a politician and the others own their own businesses in Nigeria. But they all come over to the US whenever they want. 3. I own a house in Nigeria already, I just don't live there for now. It's a 4 family flats, I have tenants there, and own the entire top floor. Since I'm not in Nigeria, my lil Sister stays there. Worst case scenario I'll just bounce back to Nigeria. 4. I work for a global consulting firm here, I already know from September this year, I'll be on projects in 3 countries in Europe and some in UAE. Let them come and take my money then, my direct deposits go to my Canadian bank accounts, I can withdraw it anywhere in the world. 5. I'm in the process of setting up accounts in Seychelles (A tax haven). That's beyond the US jurisdiction, they can't touch my funds. Just watch, I'm playing mind games with the American system now. It's seriously flawed and only slow people will wait to be held at ransom over this. I married her in good faith, she switched on me and I'm supposed to deal with their legal consequences? There are ways around this type of stuff, thats what im about to do. Im an IT guy, all i need to make money is just a laptop and internet. I don't even go to any office, I work from home. She'll end up on the losing end if she brings all that around me. I can do whatever I do from wherever I want in the world as long as I have access to a computer. Sure she's not thinking in that line. Nah, that's never happening with me plus I have good lawyers in case anything turns out escalated. |
Daboomb:Yeah you're right, women could be crazy sometimes, but they are indispensable. Nigerian ladies aren't spared. One of my very close friends that said he didn't want to marry an American flew to Nigeria to marry a girl and brought her over to the US. Like it is in every home, both of them had a disagreement. I don't know the details, but the Nigerian girl ended up calling 911 on him and he got locked up in jail. That's a dude with no criminal record in the past and his American ex-girlfriends never did that to him before. When he told me, I had to tell him he went all the way to Nigeria to import trouble for himself. That was why I didn't go to Nigeria to find a wife in the first place, I think the drama would be worse for me, I'm more Americanized than Nigerian now. Don't get me wrong, I grew up in Nigeria, but most of my adolescence life is here in the US. I've never even messed with any Nigerian girl here in the US, but whenever I come to Nigeria, it's tonnes of them laying around. I messed with those ones like we men all do, nothing afterwards. Now both of them sleep in separate rooms, she already got the papers she needed from him, what next? Alimony and child-support I guess. So, there's no difference between me and him, I married an American, he imported a Nigerian girl and our stories ended up same. |
Daboomb:1. I deleted the original post after me and her made up. It's no point sharing what goes on in my home when I don't care about what goes on in other people's homes. Plus, I needed advice back then but people ended up just cursing me out and calling me names. 2. I'm not a violent person. I've never ever laid my hands on my wife. God forbid. The dude in question came at me, I had to defend myself. We didn't get in a physical fight, but we cursed each other out. He wanted a fight, I carry a weapon (It's legal here for non-felons), brought it out and he calmed down and that was was it. No one got hurt. 3. My wife never cheated on me that I know of until the case with this dude. So, I really don't consider her a hoe. I think I was a bigger hoe than her. So, I'll take more of the blames than her. She might have done that to spite me, plus I heard of the escapades from her friends that I ended up messing with and a couple of them wanted to start coming over to my place everyday. I had a problem with that. They may have just lied, who knows. I didn't catch her in the act, but my brawl with the dude was what made me conclude they're right. |
FortuneTeller:Thanks for your advice. I already booked my flight to Michigan for the 21st of this month. My daughter's birthday is the 22nd,I promised her I'd be there. Our son's birthday is in August, she'll be bringing them to Atlanta for that. May be we can plan a cruise to Jamaica or somewhere when she comes,I just know it's impossible to talk to her under her parent's influence like she is under now. Me and her have decent communication on the phone when she's alone,when she's with her parents, she starts yelling at me for no reason. I'm sure we can have a decent communication when she and the kids come to Atlanta next month and see how it goes. Thanks again for your advice. |
FortuneTeller:You're entirely right. Alimony and child-support is what she's been threatening me with, but humans are the ones paying those, not animals. If others paid that in the past and are still alive, I can do that too. I make enough and have never had a problem with taking care of her and my kids. Since we've been separated, I've been sending her and the kids about $800 per month, I don't expect alimony + child-support to be way more than that, a court will decide that. It's just more complicated than you know about my case. Her parents are all in my family business and I'm definitely not willing to have then run my home for me. She runs to tell them everything happening in the home and her parents call me afterwards. I never envisaged that. I bought a Benz about 4 years ago, her dad called me telling me I should have asked him before doing that. That even him hasn't owned one before. I had to tell him that's not my fault, I make more that him and his wife combined, so why would I settle for a jetta or Volkswagen when I can afford it? That's my business not theirs. I pay all my bills myself, why they're interested in what happens in my house is weird to me. I got in an accident about two years ago in another Honda car I own. It was an old 1995 Honda del sol convertible. Our insurance company offered about $4500 for the car, I looked online for same type of car and found one for $2500. She agreed. 30 minutes later, her mom called talking about she doesnt want me to settle with what the insurance company offered because she she doesnt want her daughter's insurance premium to increase. What she didn't know was I was the one paying for all the insurance all along. Why her family gets too deep into my personal affairs is just much. Who I married was her, not her mom and dad, but she tells them everything Getting back together is like starting the whole thing all over. I have a problem with that. |
FortuneTeller:It's too late to go back to her. It's more complex than you know. I went to Virginia about a year ago for some business presentations. I was only there for 4 days. She called me saying she had left with our kids. She took almost everything in my house and shipped them all to her mom in Michigan where she's from, without my consent. She planned all that for when I wouldn't be in town. I came back and my whole house was empty. Now I'm buying everything she took all over again. Why not be considerate? That was theft, if she wanted to go, she could have left with whatever she owned. She took mine. I live in a 3 bedroom home, all furnished when we were together, before I came back from Virginia, two bedrooms were entirely empty. I had 4 flat screen tvs, I came back to see a tiny tube tv, she took the rest. At least she left my bed. So, why would I waste my time trying to get back with someone with that type of mindset? On the kids, me and her will be going to court soon on our custody issues. I hired a law firm handling that. All I want is just joint custody of our kids, it's ok, she can go, our kids have my genes in them and they call me everyday telling me they miss me. |
FortuneTeller:Yup, that's Atlanta for you. It was like that before I moved here, I didn't create it. The gay ones know their lane, I know mine. Check out more http://atlanta.backpage.com/MenSeekWomen/ |
FortuneTeller:Don't get me wrong, my wife was a decent person. She was a great woman when everything went well between us. She was all I needed. But when she started listening to other tiny voices, things changed. Mind you, we had the cultural differences, I'm African + American, she's entirely American. When she started hiding our kids passports from me was the starting point. She thinks I'm gonna someday disappear with the kids to Nigeria. She told me her friends told her that's what Africans do. I asked her to tell me of one African that has done that before, she had no names to mention. On a serious note, her and her entire family have insecurity issues. Even her dad called me about 10 years ago when me and her were just dating and warned me that if I took his daughter to Nigeria and I end up kidnapping her, he was going to find me and kill me. I have never kidnapped anyone before in my life, why would I then kidnap my own wife and kids and keep them in Nigeria? I don't even know much about Nigeria anymore, that's why I joined this forum to get updates on what happens there. I have no idea what's going on in their minds, I think they're all just struggling with insecurity issues.i travel to Nigeria whenever I want, I was never kidnapped. I guess they just assume Nigerians are kidnappers from whatever they see on the news etc. I grew up in Nigeria and I know it's not as bad as the media paint it to them. |
FortuneTeller:It turned out she had a dude she was messing with. I got to meet him and we got into a brawl. Not sure if she gave me the STD back then, the girl I thought I got it from ended up not having it after tests from doctors. We went to the clinic together after mine was treated, she didn't have anything. Wife went for checkup, and she had same I was treated for and got treated too. I think it was chlamydia. So, where did it come from? I think I know my home more than anyone, just like I'd expect others to know theirs more than me. Our breakup didn't come from the event you mentioned. I apologized to her and she forgave me, even though I wasn't sure it came from me. One of her coworkers ended up telling me she was messing with someone else that was another coworker. I worked from home back then, sometimes I have to watch our kids while she goes to work. Her coworker told me most times she left home for work, she wasn't at work. So, I was watching the kids while she lied about going to work and ended up elsewhere? After I met the dude, it was time to say goodbye. That was what led to our breakup, not what you mentioned. |
EgunMogaji:You're entirely right. After my case started, I've been dealing with as many women as possible. Not like I like that, but when someone you gave your all to switches on you, life still has to go on. Funny enough, it was her co-workers that were advising her that led to our break-up. What they wanted was what she had. They had baby-daddies, she had a husband, a family and a home. After she left, her advisers started coming to my house, each claiming to want to help clean up my place. I think I ended up messing with 3 or 4 of those she chose to listen to. That's just her decision, and it hurts her now, I didn't start it, she just chose to listen to people that don't have what she had. Life goes on, it's too many women in the world to really waste your time on someone that doesn't appreciate you, that's my mentality. |

But seriously your wife and I are too much alike. Remember we can't help acting crazy. It's just the way we are.
