I have watched the movie. It is an interesting film though i noticed the small crowd at the oba daughter's wedding and the few soldiers but by and large, it's worth watching.

Sure.tradition is for man and not man for tradition.tradition should be flexible and not rigid so as to flow with the current trend.it should be subject to amendment(change).you are so right....i'm one of those guys that believe women should support their men financially in marriages and in healthy relationships whent they are capable,but i think it is more honourable and worthwhile for the man to fix the bride price alone without involving the woman.
Nice! I also support that but are you also in support of men supporting their women in house chores?

You will make excuses for a man who actually kills his wife but will scream blue murder at a woman who didn't kill her husband just that she didn't mourn him.

Try to be fair and balanced small. It doesn't cost money.
Coco, u get time for this guy. He's beyond redemption.

If I am temporarily unable to provide, should I be disrespected? Judging from your logic, it would mean YES!
Just asking o, if i temporarily disrespect you as a result of your temporal lack of provision should i be murdered? See it takes 2 to tango in these their crime of passion

Okay, now I must admit you need mental help. This is sick, so its okay to kill her because she is rude. Mutter with all due respect you are not sane. Your own ex husband didn't kill you, but because you are alive and living you can spew this for other abused women justifying their murder. This is sick
Na today u know mutter? I don't take her seriously one bit. What about a man that will come to Nigeria to marry a naive small girl, training her in nursing so that she can be his money back and he can sit at home and lazy about. They expect her to be the kind of wife his ancestors had and also be the breadwinner in the family. Abeg it's all for business gain never for love, the man wants the woman as a money bag and the woman sees him as passport to usa.

Sophyrocks:
Na wa o!! You see what all these men cause for their wives? They turn their wives to either praying dummies praying holy ghost fire against girls while they roam about freely with wh0res or they turn them to witches patronising wizards to manipulate them. Why did these men get married? Why cant these men just do what is right and take care of their families? Why cnt they keep their third legs in check and be faithful? Men like that are prone to being pawns of manipulation and witchcraft but do they know? No o. its their right to cheat bla bla bla bla. See am na. 500k came out from a supposedly broke man with the help of jazz!! I am sure the man spends heaven and earth on the numerous girls he carries that was why he got broke often. Op wan join her church friend. And Na church una dey attend o. Una dey listen to sermons for church so? una dey read una bible for there so? How can you slave for God and then slave for demons? How? Thats the hypocrisy with Nigerians and their overzealousness in religion. Mixing of black magic with christianity. Half hearted worship of God!!

Op, you are a christian abi? you know deep down that what you are about to do is witchcraft, a sin against God. You know that right? Whatever you face with your husband should be sorted between you two. If only people understand this marriage they are pressurising people to rush into, all these problems will reduce. You and your husband should go for counselling and avoid that church friend of yours at all cost. You can exchange greetings but keep your distance. your friend wont kill you for refusing. simply tell her your conscience wont allow you do it.

For you to think of using jazz to make your husband love you means something is wrong with the foundation of your marriage. I hope it wasnt an arranged marriage or a forced one. You cannot force your husband to love you if he never loved you in the 1st place. Love comes naturally. Communicate your concerns with your husband. Communication is key. it should not be taken for granted. Imbibe communication in your marriage and stop sharing your problems with other women unless they are counsellors. its not every advice you get that you must follow. Learn to sieve information you get from people.
Well said. You have my respect.
As for you op, you better use your tongue to count your teeth. Ask God for forgiveness for even considering the idea. Get busy with your children sunday sch class. Tell 'your friend' your husband has started changing so no need.

Blakjewelry:
Nigerian are always fond of breaking the laws of the land, driving against traffic might take she and the child she is trying to save faster to their death. On second thought you do not want to mess with a mother trying to save the life of a child, and I bet these wai has no law backing their duties
The nuisance value of those touts is very high. You need not beat traffic before they pounce on you. If you are driving alone without pinning down your doors and you happen to be a woman,your own don be. If i had half of that woman's strength and size, i will go on beating rampage grin. Those touts need to be trained and called to order.
FamilyRe: Why Do Many Girls Have Bad Attitude? : My Experience by soonest(f): 6:50am On Jan 27, 2015

MarvellousGod:
Op, so sorry for your predicament. ..

If you're igbo, the girl cannot bear your surname or be regarded as your daughter because you didn't come to claim/ pay your wife's brideprice before the baby was born. That's the culture, no court can help you...She can be brought over to stay at your house with your wife's influence though. ..
. .
I think this is what is happening.
Op, the key is your wife. Find out her reasons. You may need to involve your priest. I find it odd though that your wife isn't excited to have her family united and together at least to make up for lost years. It's well, may God help you.

It's also a wake up call for your wife. She needs to work hard to make her own money since her husband isn't working for her but his children. She shouldn't sacrifice or limit her career for such a man. Also, please bro learn not to say every stupid thing that passes through your mind!
FamilyRe: Opinion Poll: Cooking In A Host's House by soonest(f): 12:26pm On Jan 23, 2015
chaircover:
You know that really upsets me sometimes, when I have guests and they refuse to make themselves at home, cook and eat and they are sitting there hungry & waiting for me to come back and cook no matter how late. Why would you sit there hungry? It makes me question myself maybe I have not been accommodating enough.

These are mostly guests from Nigeria. So when they come, I make a big big deal about showing them where everything is and calling them several times during the day to ask them if they have eaten. The foods that they eat that I don’t stock I go out and buy it for them. I don’t have one single food warmer in my house so we cook and eat on demand.

I can’t count the number of times that we have had guests and I am not even in the county talk less of me even being there to cook for them.

@soonest dear, your prayers will be answered even far beyond your expectations.
Amen! Thanks
FamilyRe: My Husband Said I Eat Like A Thief I Need To Prove Him Wrong by soonest(f): 11:59am On Jan 23, 2015
If your eating is excessive please control it. Eat healthy food and only eat when you are hungry. Please don't start any vigorous dieting o, why? Because you are still breastfeeding. A friend of mine fainted as a result. You can start mild exercise too. Feel good and confident about yourself. Don't mind your husband, i know how hurtful their words can be but just take it in good faith. If he says it next time, call him husband of someone that eats like a thief grin

You seem to get it
In our home, the kitchen table is a gathering point for family, guests, gist, name it
Kids do their homework at the kitchen table
I make my beads at the kitchen table
My husband plays his Guitar at that that same kitchen table
Some evenings we all sit at that table and watch netflix, Youtube and Sky on TV
Same place where the Fridge is
For us its just a leisurely room
Every week I put cut fresh flowers in a vase
I havent measured it, but its almost the same size as my living room
Somedays I dont even sit in my living room . . yesterday I didnt sit in my living room at all before retireing updtairs for the night.
My dream kitchen when i build my own house grin

Abeg the truth be told, who enters uninvitedly to someone's kitchen, someone you are not familiar with. Haba! Where are her manners?
The only place i fault d madam is her response to the girl. She should have exercised self control or better still she would have told her husband of her displeasure.

Yeah I understand you smiley

What does it mean to be "really into ladies" or not to be?
From a lady's point of view, would you be willing to tell me?

I have an appreciable dose of the Melancholic temperament, so I'd agree with you 100% that I'm quite analytical.... It's a good thing isn't it? embarassed
It means u no too 'send' woman. I no sabi as i go take explain am again. cheesy
It's good to be analytical but too much of everything is bad. It may make you see wrongs where none exist.

I find it "interesting" that people often suggest the bolded, but my concern is, we are not talking about changing cars, or shoes or kitchen wares, these are actual, living, breathing people with the capacity to feel hurt, dejected, frustrated and a whole lot of other emotions that find themselves rooted in heart breaks/breakups and the moving on decision.

That said, I really understand what you're saying, you've made really strong points. Summarily, I think my fear is the thought of being responsible for breaking someone's heart.... I detest the thought of that and believe you me it's not because I'm a people pleaser, neither is it because I want to remain perpetually in people's good graces. But that's just me.... I'd rather not go into a relationship than go into one that might end up with me likely breaking her heart. That's just me

I'm queer I know embarassed
Reading through your posts, i don't think you are really into ladies(i don't mean you are a homo o). I also think you are analytical so i doubt you will be struck with love at first sight. My advice date your friends and you may find yourself gradually falling for one.
Pls i may be wrong, just my thoughts.
Op, an interesting topic i must say

You notice they absolved the husband of any blame and never condemned his atrocity. It took a well known misogynistic whiner, who derives joy in using his emotions and frustrations to comment, to chip in child abuse issue to distract the rest who are willing to jump into his bandwagon and change the thread to a different topic entirely. Thereby, turning the thread to a free for all. grin grin

Funny right?
Don't mind them. Na today? We know them.
