Faber: You're sounding like a slow poke. First am from Anambra State. Am proud son of Orumba. Chuka Umunna, British MP is from Orumba, Alex Ekwueme first Executive VP of Nigeria is from Orumba. Now Anambra State in General, can you compare Abia to Anambra on what grounds, you're a joke. Michael Ọkpara is Igbo's finest politician says who. Where are the likes of Alvan Ikoku, Nnamdi Azikiwe, KO Mbadiwe, Sam Mbakwe, Alex Ekwueme. Name one Abia man on Nigeria's currency.
Go to park road/York and buy small Thailand, you need am bad bad
Mumu....lol.... Alvan Ikoku is from Amangwu, AROCHUKWU in Abia State. He is in the 10 naira currency dude.
Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe was the brave Vice President to IBB who stood gallantly against IBB registering Nigeria into OIC (Organization of Islamic Countries)
Michael Okpara remains the best politician igbos ever had who made eastern region the fastest growing economy in the world in his era.
Mumu, google ABRAHAM GODSON the first elected black politician in Poland....you think only anambra has names? Lol.... Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi all have successful people abroad so keep your inferiority complex elsewhere biko.
Chai.... Faber see ehn...you are indeed a wannabe....never you compare abia to anambra again... both have varied strengths and weaknesses. i rest my case.
I met my boo during my masters degree program, she worked as an administrative officer in a company while i worked as a teacher/private tutor...today we are both masters degree graduates.
I didn't rely on regular school teaching calendar to pay rents, pay school fees and support our relationship. I was a Private tutor and a Nutrition Educator in which i worked parttime for companies like GSK. I usually leave home by 7am and return home around 10pm.
My then girlfriend (who was a first class graduate and now MY WIFEY) saw all these hardwork and then knew i had a bright future. Why? I threw my passion, intellect and hardwork into what i was doing.
Lighthouse50: The best wife material for a male teacher is an uneducated lady. They will treasure you so much and will always look up to you to learn. They see you to have what they dont have and are less demanding. they will appreciate whatever little you earn with respect.
What an insult! Your are ignorant and foolish with these post you just vomitted.
ewa20buredi100: It was not really my making though, I needed to survive while waiting to land that perfect multinational job. So I took up a teaching (Chemistry and Mathematics) job Just to keep the body and soul alive.
It has been 7years since I took up teaching as a job and I am still doing it.
Along the line, I realised that I wasn't getting younger. I am in my thirties and as my mother's first fruit, she is always asking me to send her pictures of I and my girlfriend. She disturbs me a lot about it, this is given the fact that most of my younger siblings are married and have kids. She says she wants to carry her grandchild from me.
I tried to explain things to her, but she wouldn't care to hear me out. This has been going on for sometime now and during these times, she yells at me, cries and asks to know if I am having issues as a man. I have to admit it: she gets on my nerves most times with her annoying questions but being that she is the only parent I have now I just play along so as not to upset her.
MY FEARS: Last 2 years, after a call from my mom, during my quiet time, a thought just came to me to do my mother's bidding and besides I am of age (and at that age my late dad already had 3 of us). Some many thoughts flooded my head that night and it was like I was having this confluence of thoughts. I felt somehow convinced about doing it.
But somehow I was scared because I have never had this one-on-one chat with a female before. It just dawned on me that I was not a social person. Question was, how was I going to go about it.
So I came here on nairaland and did some findings on how to talk to a lady. I decided to try it on a female colleague of mine at my place of work. Somehow the things I thought I had learnt I ended up not using them because it happened that the said lady was already having a crush on me. It kind of made my task easier. She made the approach
As time went by, the relationship became one-sided. The disrespect, the insults, curses, the looked-down on was something I have never witnessed before. I wasn't really bothered at that time because I was not in the know of how ladies behave.
She would always tell me of how I am not man enough for her, too quiet, too lanky and have no action as a man. As in she was this perfect kind of girl that deserves a very special man but not me. There was no day she never used those words on me, especially when she is angry or offended. These things began to get to me. At a point in time I was feeling so emotionally Insecured, I began losing my confidence and self esteem. I felt I was not good enough for her and did all I could to get her approval. It left me emotionally and mentally drained. I did not know what to do or who to turn to except her.
I don't even want to talk about how she made me to do silly things to satisfy her sexual cravings without having real sex.
I was so emotionally attached to her that I was blinded from the emotional torture she was putting me through.
As God will always have His way, I met this married lady who was newly employed then. We became so close, that a particularly day came when I was so overwhelmed, I opened up everything to her. This said lady helped me wipe off all the feelings and emotions I had and gave me a new orientation about women. In fact she accompanied me to call off the relationship I thought I was into then. Funny enough the said crusher didn't even care. The following week she was sighted with her new man.
She was like God sent to me. Though we parted ways some months later when I got a better paying teaching job and then relocated, we still keep in touch with one another. She never fails to ask after me and my emotional well-being despite the distance. She always tells me that one day I will find a lady "who will love and respect me as I am" (anytime I ask what she meant by that statement she would hang up on me) I really owe her my life.
This experience kind of scared me from anything "woman". I was scared of being disrespected because of a perceived personality of mine.....not until my mom brought up the issue again late last year.
So this time I decided to give it a try. I felt I was better prepared and armed with some knowledge about women. Hence there won't be a repeat of what happened last time.
Then a new pattern of behaviour was discovered again.............
The few that gave me their listening ears would suddenly grow cold and dis-Interested once they learn that I teach in a secondary school. Others would block me on their whatsapp.
None of the ladies I met would want anything to do with me because I teach.
Please married male teachers here on nairaland, any of you had these challenges, and if yes, how did you overcome it?
For the male teachers that are not married, do you have a serious girlfriend? How did you meet her? Please kindly share your experiences so far. A brother needs it.
Thank you
Your opening statement brought you out completely. You are not called into teaching, condition only made you venture into it. You think ladies dont see through these things?
I'm a trained teacher (ND, BSc. Ed, M.Ed) from Nigeria living in Dubai and happily married. I love my job and understand the business aspect of education.
Please leave teaching and pursue something else you would be proud of. If you lack confidence in your job, who will have confidence in you? Your loss.
sameks08: truth be told old bende was in power for good 16 good years and old Aba has been in power for just 8 years so for the chapter of equity to stand means that the power should remains in old Aba province
You see why ngwa people cannot be trusted with power? T.A ORJI as bad as he was, loyally handed power to ngwa in solidarity with Abia charter of equity which will clock round the three senatorial zones. Anyway, you know power is shifting to Abia North come what may
Faber: I know this state called Abịa like the back of my plans...all in power there are drunkards..
Don Ubani wants power to go to Abia Central where the worst thief after Abacha, T.A Orji and his son hails from..paving way for Ikuku to pick PDP ticket and then finish Abịa Kpatakpata.
The Kogi senator was right. You cannot find a refined politician like Peter Obi, Soludo and co in power in Abịa State, no never. All of them are potbellied and drenched in the latest wine and alcohol.
Expecting good news from Abia is like expecting Irag to win world cup...e no fit happen...em no even qualify sef.
Just forgive me, I don't see anyone from Abia as sensible, all of them including MNK...they are all idiots, cheats and charlatans.
Aguiyi Ironsi...died like a fowl, a sturborn idiot. Adolphus Wabara...a greedy slowpoke, impeached by Obj. Orji Uzor Kalu...a swindler, cheat and ritualist, I heard his doctorate from ABSU have been revoked. MNK...a charlatan, who knowing fully well that his ESN have been decimated,and no more vision and road map for the Biafran project, decided to turn himself in so that the Nigerian government will imprisoned him. By so doing he will spend many years in prison while the funds contributed by gullible Igbos will be growing fat in his crypto wallets..with her sister from Abia, Mrs Nnennaya banking some for him..by the time he will be out, the Biafran project will die a natural death. He will elope to a far distant country and enjoy his wealth forever.
If this is not MNK's plans with the Nigerian government, Abeg tell me wetin carry am go Kenya...is UN, ICC located in Kenya...no be oloshos na in full Kenya..He wore his fendi to Kenya to have a good time with Kenyan babes and then turn himself in to Nigerian government.
That's the problem with envious losers like you. Something just has be bad about Abia. Is your state better than Abia? Jealousy.
Where is Dr. Michael Okpara (the best politician igbos ever had) from?
You are calling General Aguiyi Ironsi names, is any body from your lineage or state more accomplished than him?
As bad as thibgs are at the moment for Abia state, which igbo politician is more vocal and seasoned than Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe?
PharoahIII: Useless people everywhere (in NK's voice), there are thousands of Africans married to white women abroad, how many of such men have been made commisioners on the basis of their being married to white women? In fact even with being married to white women some of them are still undocumented illegal migrants. common paper dem no go give them. So because one Swiss ashawo is married to an African, she should be made a commissioner, not minding whether or not she's a bonafide citizen of Nigeria? Will you support our brothers from the North or West to be made commissioners in Anambra? I guess no, but you'd rather support a white person. May thunder fire you there, senseless op.
Cure your ignorance by googling the man - Abraham Godson, married to a polish and from there became a polish law maker.
Curious346: if I was A head of a military junta that came to power in Nigeria, MY FIRST action WOULD BE THIS " ARREST ALL PAST GOVERNORS AND POLITICAL LEADERS FROM ABIA STATE TILL DATE, LINE THEM UP AT THE STAKES AND HAVE THEM EXECUTED
AM SORRY TO SAY THIS..
abia state is the worst space anywhere SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR..
and abia men are sorrily incompetent, completely unable to fight for their freedom
Dude shut up and use your head. Think before posting.
BlackAdam55: Look at you calling me thickheaded when you head is full of cotton wool. First of all, the Ikwerres are not igbos they have made it loud and clear that they are not igbos even Wike himself said it that his people are not igbos, Etche people never considered themselves igbos, they always goes by Etche ethnicity,no Bonny person or Opobo person has come out to say he or she are related to igbos no single one. There's nothing like Obigbo in Rivers state what they have is Oyigbo and they are not igbos. So how on earth are you guys claiming Rivers State When 90% of the groups you mention are not related to igbos in anyway?
There are ijaws in River's state the Okrikans are ijaws the kalabaris are ijaws and so on they don't need to go Baysela because Port Harcourt is their ancestry home you understand what I'm saying to you igbo man? You as an Igbo man have no say in Rivers state causes there's little or almost zero Igbo subgroups in River State.
Kobojunkie: First and foremost, there are no genuine pastors. God did not call any man to become a pastor for Him - Ezekiel 34 vs 1 - 16 & John 10.vs 1 - 16 - So know that all of those men whose church businesses you flock to regularly have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus Christ and hence God. They are instead the thieves who you were warned will come to steal from God's sheep, kill the fat of God's flock and destroy God's flock this while hiding behind the name of God.
Followers of Jesus Christ are commanded to abandon all they have in order to become worthy of Jesus Christ, and His Kingdom. They are also not expected to amass treasures for themselves here on earth since according to Jesus Christ, where you treasures are is where your heart is.
Dude, shut up and stop misquoting scripture... If you hate pastors, dont transmit yhe hate to others.
Tokskob2008: Both the one riding a flashy car and the one riding a bicycle are both fake, there's nothing like real man of God anymore the difference is just that the one riding a bicycle is yet to cash out on his followers.
BlackSaints: Oga I am an ijaw man from Rivers State have you seen any Riverine Subgroups in Rivers states who has deny being ijaws? Unlike the Ikwerres,the Etches and co who have told you to your face that they are not Igbos, yet you keep forcing your brotherhood on them. So what nonsense truth are you talking about? There's no truth found in the average Igbo man when you talk, you talk according to your own accord which is lies that is your trade mark. Like i said,you better leave the ijaws in River's state out of your whatever cause we share nothing with igbos.
Look.... I don't have time for all this "baby" talk....just accept the fact the ALL Nigerian men including your father, uncle, brother, boyfriend, husband (if you have one) are not like that those who tear women down. Kapish?
Jeon: keep on crying baby trapped in a man's body.
You keep saying this. Na wa o....as if you dont like a "baby in a man's body" for you to manipulate and get your teats sucked. Or haven't you been sucked before? Pls leave me alone biko
Jeon: my dear we have them... Even a small communication you can see they calling women prostitutes here on NL ...
don't deny.
Definitely they do and it isnt a good thing, so also for you. You shouldnt lump all males as such because of those losers...it sort of boomerangs at you.
saphiere: A sin of one man you say? How many rape cases have been posted on this platform this week? How many was done by men?
If men had accused all Nigerian women for engaging into paternity fraud and for being prostitutes because of one lady's atrocious behavior, how would you feel?
The problem with your type is that you allow emotions get into your head thereby clouding your reasoning
goodheart01: Yeah I think you're right. America didn't get their independence by sitting at home, there was a war invoved too. That's to say it's high time igbos stepped up and smashed your bloody zoo up with a revolutionary war!
See this war monger. ... Civil engagements also births a new nation. Ask Serbia, ask Croatia, etc
You can believe whatever media crap you choose to believe. ESN has no business been outside the forests. political thugs caught hands down are now paraded as IPOB/ESN.....You think SEners are fools? Abeg shift commot
