RomanceRe: Please Help! My Brother Is Sleeping With His Daughter by sophy17(m): 5:05pm On Aug 07, 2021
Kedoty:
My brother's wife called me yesterday to report my brother, she said their daughter called her two days ago about what her dad has been doing to her.

She told her that, her dad has slept with her twice, so the mother called me to report the case that she's confused and doesn't know how to confront her husband.

The daughter said the first day he slept with her was when her mother went on night vigil in the church. The second time he left his room at the middle of the night pretend to go and urinate and went to daughter's room to sleep with her for the second time. He has threatening her not to tell anyone.

Honestly for the past 2 days I couldn't sleep, was just thinking on how to approach the situation and how to rescue the inocent girl from abusive father.

The girl is around 17 years old.

Please your urgent advice needed. ( They are in Abuja while I'm in Lagos)
This matter is beyond you and your family. Pls tell your brother's wife and her daughter to go to the nearest Police station and make a formal report. There is actually a Special Government Agency in Charge of Domestic and Sexual Abuse but I don't know if they exist in Abuja. The Police too will handle it.

Even America is indebted to china so that China angle had no point.buhari has provided more infrastructure than any other regime.as you can see,he has almost finished lagos Ibadan rail.he is reconstructing lagos Ibadan highway.he repaired parts of enugu Onitsha exp,calabat ITU.he has fixed most parts of calabar to ogoja and about completing loko oweto brifldge.2nd Niger bridge is 50% now.he completed the appeal court in calabar,completed the navy reference hospital, completed jebba mokwa and yola mubi road.he completed abuja metro and abuja kaduna rail.he renovated abuja airport and is renovating enugu and ph airports.bodo bonny bridge is 50%.he has installed solar in over 20 universities,given licences for over 50 modular refineries.the warri itakpe rail has been completed.work has started on kano maradi rail,gombe yola.under nddc,he repaired the ikot okpora road which uses to be the worst in crs.what more do you want? The lagos Ibadan rail has been extended to apapa ports to decongest the place.last year,a federal taskforce cleared apapa of traffic and handed over the mandate to sanwoolu to make sure traffic doesn't return but he failed to.the roads dangote is doing is on behalf of the fg because he will be repaid in form of tax credit
In your right mind, the above is a proof that he has done well in 6 years on infrastructural development.

How did he fail in infrastructure?
Tell me the new roads he has constructed in the last 6 years of his admin. New Airports he has built or even renovated, New bridges, New refinaries, New rail network. Uptill now Apapa sea port is still blocked. He has been unable to complete renovation works on existing roads. For 6 years lagos -Ibadan is uncompleted. Dangote upgraded Gbagada- Oshodi- Mile 2.
Yet out debt burden has increased tremediously.
Before he came to power, he said he will build new refineries and renovated to existing ones. He mafe mokery of Atiku who said he was going to sell it and make it work. I am not a fan of Atiku. But do you think if he had sold it, those who bought it will not make sure it work? Soon fuel price will be increased again.
Today we are highly indebted to China!
China that used to beg for contracts from Nigeria and we give them and pay upfront with ultimatum.

Hmmm. He is a wise old man. Since Twitter has reached out to FG, let's allow them to sort it out and in due time get an update.
Unlike his enemies who hate him because of his tribe,religion and stand against corruption , he is calm and wise in all situations, he is not corrupt ,proud ,arrogant and loquacious like them.
God bless President Muhammadu Buhari. God bless Nigeria.All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las. They always lose yesterday, today and for ever. visit www.freestuffsng.com to hunt for freebies. May God bless my fatherland Nigeria.
Buhari is the greatest enemy of Nigeria today. The facts are there for every lover of truth to see. He has refused to allow peaceful change even though he used it to campaign. He is not receptive of any form of criticism even though he criticized previous administration. He is not physically and mentally fit to run a Country. Neither is he educationally qualified.
Today he failed on security, economy, infrastructure, electricity, education etc. These and many others are facts obvious to all.
You people should stop supporting people in power based on tribe, religion and feelings but rather on facts. Don't forget that Nigerians vote him into power for a reason so they deserve to demand accountabilty!

Curious345:
STD's is another word for sexually transmitted diseases. While STI's is also another word for sexually transmitted infections.
It was a taboo in the distance past to be married and still get infected by your husband or wife .

But these days getting infected with STDs and STI's from a cheating wife or husband seems to be a common occurrence amongst married couples .

As a married man or woman How did you handle yours ?
STDs and STIs are not necessarily caused as a result of transmission from a cheating partner. Diseases or infections are contacted or transmitted from several other means.

Pls guys I need your advice, I'm currently in a serious dilemma, I'm currently camping here in zamfara tsafe camp, I am unsure of whether or not I should stay, this state is predominantly dominated by hausa-fulani, will I succeed in business in this state? Or should I just redeploy to a state that I'm more acclimatized to in the south west or east? Is security an issue here as a southerner who cannot speak the language.

Pls I need speedy replies because I'm almost about to submit my medical report, is redeploying the right thing to do in this situation?

P.S I studied law, I have not gone for law school.
The fact that you even reported there in the first place for camp shows that you don't value your life!

FamilyRe: I Broke Up With Her by sophy17(m):
bwambasolomon:
I have a fiancée whom I started dating about two years ago. We work together and we are on the same level, and earn the same salary. Each time we hanged out to just have fun, if we got to a place where prices were too expensive, I would say to her but this things are much cheaper elsewhere.

For example, we went to a place though inside the same premises, one part of the lounge sells bottled water for 250 while the other one sells bottled water for 500, she then suggested that we go to the part where water was sold for 500. Note that it was in the same premises and there was absolutely no difference between the two, it's not like one was VIP area and the other was not. We ended up going to the 500 naira side. All that we ate which of course was double the price, I paid.

Each time we went to the mall, we buy things normally. But there's something about malls which some of you may have noticed, certain things such as pots, plastic rubbers, electronics, and so on are usually unreasonably exorbitant. So I said it would be better for us not to buy things that were too expensive that we could get outside for cheaper prices, but we could buy other things whose prices were reasonable. The next thing she started saying was that I don't have class, it's classy people that buy such things.

So one day we went to a pharmacy in that same mall, because she wanted to get some drugs, the price they called for her was about three times what it was outside, so she said it was better to go outside to buy it. So I just told her that since she has class she should buy it now, the next thing she started insulting me, she gave me the insult of my life. That wasn't the only scenario, there were many other cases like that.

She had started to stay with me after a while. Every thing in the house belongs to me, and I made sure everywhere was conducive for us. Air conditioners every and so on, good house, good compound, surveillance cameras and so on. Initially I was shouldering all responsibilities like food, the car washer who washes the both of our cars, the security man, fuel in the generator, NEPA light, repairs in the house and so on.

Please note that we work in the same place and earn same amount. Sometimes when I was short of cash, since I knew that her own money would still be there, I would borrow from her to buy food stuffs and other miscellaneous, and pay back by next salary.

She contributed just about 10% of expenditures in the house which was majorly just food stuffs. Note that I buy much more foodstuffs 5 times more than what she buys.

That was not just it, the relationship was usually filled with arguments, I can hardly have a conversation with her, she would begin to argue.

I want to ask few questions here:
(1)please is there anyone who doesn't know that Egusi causes pimples for those who are prone to having pimples?
(2) Is there any one who doesn't know that if something is very hot, it is not advisable to put in the fridge?
(3) here anyone who doesn't know that garlic is medicinal?
(4) Is there any one who does not know that it is not advisable to put on a generator when it has been drenched by rain?

But this girl will argue with me, insisting that I must put on the gen when rain has beaten it, because apparently, it is not her property. And the fridge is also not hers which is why she won't care if it gets spoilt. In short there's usually too much argument over what is clear for everyone to see, thereby it is always difficult to have a conversation with her.

I was later transferred out of the state we were, so I decided that because of her, I won't take anything away from the house, I would buy everything I need in the new place I had been posted to. So I bought a bigger TV for the house we both shared and took the smaller one to my new place of posting. I bought my mattress, kitchen utensils, got an apartment, and bought every thing I needed in the new place. So now, I have most things in two pairs, just so she would be comfortable.

Please note that we aren't yet married, and I agreed to not having sex with her because that was she wanted, I respected that. The only thing I know we do was romance.

So I started insisting that it was high time for her to be responsible, that we can't both be working and she won't be buying reasonable amount of food stuff because I noticed that sometimes, she would go out and buy 3 packs of spaghetti, which doesn't make sense to me. She said her dad is the one that buys food stuffs in her house and her mum contributes for petty projects. But I am not her Dad, I have my own mind. Also note that she didn't volunteer to bring any amount for my project oo, because I won't want a woman to contribute 1 naira to the houses I am building. All I said was that she should be contributing reasonable amounts for food stuffs in the house. We hardly stay two weeks without fights, she must look for one insult or the other.

We went for counselling and the pastors said she has to be contributing for expenditures in the house, we agreed on 60% to 40% sharing formula for all expenditures. So me as the man would contribute 60 while she will contribute 40. Please note that rent was not inclusive, as I volunteered to pay for the rent in the house we were and for my apartment in my new place of posting.
Later on, when she began to see the brunt of the responsibilities that I used to bear she started saying we (Me and the Pastors) are forcing her to contribute. But I didn't know these Pastors before, that was my first time of meeting them, she was the one who knew them before me. But simply because they told her the truth, she started saying we are forcing her.

Please I need your honest opinions on this issue.
Thank you.
All the warning signs are already there for you to see and you are still undecided.

Pls end this relationship now or you"ll live to regret it for the rest of your life. No need trying to make it work beacuse that's what you have been trying to do and it's not working.
She might try pretending to change when you end the relationship. Pls don't give in. All you've seen now will double when/if you are eventually married to her.

Hello Nairalanders,

I've been here for a while now and having evaluated certain things on the forum I think I'll get the sincerest of answers to my question.

I intend to study law; I'm good with my English, have a formidable sense of logical and critical reasoning and naturally charismatic. These should be the basic requirements for intending lawyers( at least, according to the naive me).

Academically, I will humbly say I know my worth: with the beyond-basic knowledge of Government, a fair knowledge of the mechanics of politics and the ability read without wearing out, I suppose a lawyer is in the oven, soon to be baked.

However, my very close confidant advised me to drop the dream and seek something viable. My mother who have not had much to do with lawyers and who believe them to be just hungry folks scavenging for cases from one police station to another doesn't think it's a good shot.

Now, I plead we leave sentiments aside. Be critical with your reply and please, let your comments not be made out of prejudice.

What are my chances of making it as a lawyer in today's Nigeria?

PS: You might have better options for me, like migrating to a computer-related course or learn a soft skill. I've gotten much of that . Just kindly answer the question.

Thanks in anticipation.

Many people will learn too.
Your chances of making it as a lawyer in today's Nigeria depends on a number of factors such as how smart you are, how good are you at your work, and how well connected to the right Clients. You also need to be bold.
Some lawyers have also made by simply making noise all over the place to become popular and thereafter use their popularity to get clients.
By the way, I am a lawyer. I am making money from law practice and businesses.

3.The company has intensified her effort to make her products visible and available in every part of the country and outside Nigeria.
4.Strong partnership with E-commerce companies.
5.Vitafoam mattress is the most preferred General and Private Hospitals in Nigeria by the virtue of the acquisition of the VONO foam.

These are the reasons the turnover keeps increasing YoY.

Vitafoam mattress is also good for you grin grin grin
Let me add 2 important reasons which are:
1. Sourcing of very cheap raw materials polyols and diisocyanates derived from crude oil, used in the manufacture of foam- ie polyurethane foam. This is due to crude oil price crash.
2. Good management.

I Need Your Opinion On This Issue That's Threatening My Relationship

My fiance wanted to come to the house to see my mum but I told him I won't be around because I'm about heading out to somewhere, so he asked me if my mum would be around, then I said yes and he said he would still go to see her and it doesn't matter if I'm not around.

When I later got home that night, my mum complained that he came empty handed. He didn't bring anything for her and she was the one who offered him her drink.

Although initially, I didn't see anything wrong with that but when my mum expressed her displeasure, I later called him to ask why he came to the house empty handed then I let him know I wasn't happy with him, that it would have been better if he didn't come. He tried arguing with me but I hung up.

Since then, we haven't spoken to each other nor visited each other. Was I wrong?
I have read some of your comments to some opinions freely given to you here and honestly speaking, you are not ready for any genuine opinion except the ones you want to hear.

So I will keep my opinion to myself as I don't want to be insulted too.

RomanceRe: Should I Go Ahead And Marry Her With This Her Mindset? by sophy17(m): 8:38am On Dec 17, 2020
Anoymus:
I have a girlfriend I am meaning to propose to during the festive period, she's everything I want in a woman except few exception which might be a hindrance to the proposal.
Gist is, my babe is a graduate but lack of work made her to learn fashion designing, she's done with the training and she's very good with what she does.

After marriage, I have told her that I'll assist in her business, I'm planning to get a bigger shop space for her and equip it with modern day machines, tools and tailoring materials goods to help make her work lucrative. I'm budgeting about 1.2-1.5m for this.

The issue now is that, 3 days ago, I asked her what her role would be if eventually after marriage she gets the shop, equipments and all, where she would come in in terms of responsibilities in the house. Her reply was she doesn't want to assume any responsibility and that it's my duty to cater for the family and she can only help & I shouldn't make anything compulsory for her. So many thoughts came through my mind. One of it was that, where the proceeds of her investment would be going to if I should shoulder all the responsibilities in the house knowing fully well that she makes money.

I rang my mum and told her of her response, I was shocked that she backed her saying that I shouldn't have asked her to foot anything in the house that it was my sole responsibility as a man to cater for my family my wife inclusive. My dad too, same thing. Even told my gf mum about it too , she giggled and said I shouldn't have asked her n that it's my duty to provide for my family. They all sounded foreign to me. Or am I the one not understanding?

My question now is, why invest that kind of money in her when I'm not sure of getting little or nothing in terms in return help to run the family. That sum of money could get me 4 brand new bikes and 2 neatly used Keke Napep for transportation business. I'm sure I'll be getting returns from these investment weekly or monthly basis.

I don't want who wouldn't have any sense of responsibility at home after investing in her, even if she's covering 10% or 5% I wouldn't mind. Mere helping doesn't go down well with me, she might have and decide not to give out. I rather not invest at all and expect nothing from her.

I don't know if I'm the one over thinking this things or my parent and her mum aren't seeing things from my perspective or am I being inconsiderate?

Criticism, Insults and bashing are welcomed. Thanks
This is one of the warning signs you see before marriage. You overlook it at your own risk.
Even during dating period, she must bring something to the table no matter how little and it is also important that it is done willingly otherwise it's all pretence.

Parents are not always right. They are humans and can be selfish too. So don't be swayed.

Heartbrokengirl:
I don’t have high expectations, the person I dated before him was nothing like him in looks and finance, but I loved and respected him till his father said his son would never marry me for religious reasons. I started keeping to myself and avoided social gatherings.

Apart from his looks and his caring nature, he was the average man. He is definitely not richer than my senior colleagues who ask me out daily.

Our first conversation was intriguing, I decided to let my guard down and be friendly again. My mistake wasn’t my standard, my mistake was being carried away with love and trust not to check. My mistake was avoiding all the warnings
Hmmmm. Good you admitted making mistake. Think about what led to the mistake. Maybe what I mentioned?
My post was intended to let you know that when we point finger, the remaining fingers are pointing at us.

If I were you, I would have saved my relationship and turn to a Catholic. It is that simple. Marriage is about give and take. It is still the expectations I talked about. Some people are just spoilers so it is your duty to make sure you don't allow them to destroy your relationship under any guise. Nobody is perfect but there must be minimum standard. Meaning that you don't have to be desperate and take or do anything. Just saying that asking you to be a Catholic shouldn't ruin your relatioship.

Lastly, I sense you want to go back into your shelf and I don't want you to hence my post. So pls keep learning while you mingle. There are still good people out there seaching for good people and you only honestly get to meet them out there when you keep an open mind and mingle.
I will be 54years in a few months. Been married now for almost 19yrs. But then at a point I almost gave up on meeting a good woman. I had to keep trying while I kept working on myself too. The more I work on myself, the more I realized my mistakes. I found that I caused most of the things that happened to me. This is the essense of my post. Nothing more.
FamilyRe: How I Ended My Relationship With A Married Man by sophy17(m): 2:26pm On Dec 12, 2020
Heartbrokengirl:
I have always hated the idea of dating married people, but here I am...the ex-girlfriend of a married man.

It started sometime during the lockdown, I went somewhere to get groceries and ran into this man. Let’s call him Mr X. His smile and sense of humour was the attraction. He was putting on a nice senator material and when I stood for us to leave, he towered above me. I am a 6ft tall lady and ladies with my height can tell the happiness when you meet a taller man.

We started chatting regularly and we were in a competition to give ourselves treats. On our second date which I initiated, I asked his age and he replied 36, he asked mine and I told him. He expressed his doubts and I showed him my drivers license. Started asking many questions about my background and I answered all of them. I asked about him too, including his marital status.

I had just gotten out of a relationship, his father said he wouldn’t marry outside the Catholic church and he started drifting, I had to let him go. It was tough for me, but after months of keeping to myself, my friend encouraged me to go on dates and give another man a chance. I decided to give Mr X a chance.

It was beautiful. We were in a competition to please ourselves, take ourselves out and we both had a healthy sense of humour...chatting was fun!!! Everywhere we went, people stared. We were all over ourselves even in public and till date I wonder how he pulled that off.

One day his office had a party and he asked if I could come, I said yes. Got there and the guys were looking at me with lust, the ladies were looking at me with pity. He said the ladies were jealous of my looks and some of them have been crushing on him. If you see him and see me, you’ll understand why this explanation made little sense.

After the party that day, it was late to go back to my house and his house was farther, so we decided to book a hotel around. That night was our most intimate night. We kissed, he gave me leg massages, a head and said he is ready when I am ready. I was blown away. Could this be real?

I always noticed he would be lost in thoughts whenever we are together and blame it on work. Other times he will start feeling sick and I would have to close earlier to go give him food and drugs. This became a regular occurence until one day…

He had fallen sick as usual. I made him promise to take pain relievers and we should consider going to the hospital. He didn’t do this and I had to make out time within the week to go check on him. He said it is because he was missing me, how sweet!

He didn’t get better, it was obvious something was bothering him. I decided I will take him for lunch so we can talk about it, but he couldn’t wait. That night he said he has something to tell me, he kept apologizing but still couldn’t say it. He asked if he could send a voice note and I told him to go ahead.

At about 3mins into the voice note, I felt my world crumbling. He told me he was married and has been married for almost 10years with kids. His family was not in the country, that is why I never saw traces of them. He said he had been battling with the guilt and was scared to tell me because some other girl left when she found out and the last was with him for money. He knew I would leave and was scared, his best friend told him to give it time, another told him to ghost me but I have been good to him and his conscience won’t let him. Other friends said he should never mention it to me.


When my friend saw him, she told me he was going to hurt me. I asked her how and she said I was too innocent for him. She didn’t say further not to be termed hater, but since he made me happy again...she wished me well.

I kept replaying the audio while he kept asking me to say something. I wondered if he treated his wife the way he treated me. He was such a gentleman. Held my hands when I had to walk in heels, opened the car door for me, checked on me at work, gave me handmade customized gifts...he made them himself. He said his wife is bad and he wants divorce her, lolz. I told him they all say that. I told him how much he has hurt me, but I forgive him and appreciate him telling me when he did.

It has been almost 3months but the pain lingers. I know I will be fine…
Let me say a few things based on your write up.

The relationship was ended by the guy the moment he made up his mind to tell you the truth about his marital status. He was already done and was only willing to continue with you if your are ready to be a sidechick. And that is why he broke the news when he did.

Ladies of nowadays have big dreams about men they are ready to date. They meet potential husbands daily but are always quick to randomly assess them as not qualified or not up to standard but always give green light to the randomly qualified ones who are usually made and taken! This is exactly what happened to you. Married men have certain features which attracts ladies and they avoid countless ladies on a daily basis because of their wives but are not always able to do that at all times for different reasons. Married women too go through this temptations but are more able to control it.
Going forward, you need to first realize your mistake to avoid a repeat. I won't say lower your standard but pls have an open mind especially as per physical and financial status. That way you will be less susceptible to married men. And when next you meet someone that is too good!!!! I won't say run but SHINE YOUR EYES!!!!! So that you will be the one to figure things out on time.

Do you mean the government is sponsoring the killings? It baffles me that it is easier for Nigerians in the first place to blame government over every incident of insecurity in this country without first condemning our fellow Nigerians who do not want peace for their fellow countrymen. Every act of inhumanity is blamed on government and not the wicked perpetrators
Our government today is a product of the type of society we have. Wicked people expecting good government and good police force whereas we are enemies of ourselves.
What is the primary purpose of givernment?
Protection of lives and property. Is this government doing that? Instead they are killing the citizens eg peaceful protesters. You can join them to deny it. It only confirms who you are. They keep blaming others for their failures and bad governance. Citizens have always condemned evil doers but it goes beyond that. It is the responsibilty of govt to bring them to book. That is the justice I talk about. Aso rock is heavily guarded as well as the politicians but you are not so keep defending the wicked.
This same man campaigned and was voted to power based on these issues - insecurity, bad governance, economy, refineries, education, electricity. etc. Tell which one has he fixed in about 5 years in power. He even protested then o and it was his right then but now it is not, for others.
You guys defending these fools in power are not fit to be humans. Simple

Any idiot caught disrupting the peace of this great country in the name of one useless protest should be arrested and dealt with RUTHLESSLY in a manner that will shock Satan!

ANYWAY..

My advice to anyone joining this coup movement is this... First make peace with God Almighty.. Make sure you have repented and asked God for forgiveness.. Heaven and Hell are real.. REPENT NOW, for tomorrow - or maybe today? - might be too late..
You are as foolish as your comment.
Where is the peace you referred to, with the senseless killings of innocent citizens in every nook and corners of the country.
No government anywhere in the world can and has ever successfully silenced dissenting voices permanently. When they foolishly try to do that, they only turn such voices into a dangerous group.
Nigeria belongs to all and without justice there can never be peace. There is no peace today because there is no justice.

Souqwaqif:
Dear All,

Greetings from here. Just needing a piece of positive counsel here. It has been subtle and recurrent but I decided to share this particular one.

My wife travelled for a burial with my kids without my knowledge. I travelled far away for work and call home everyday. Just recently I called very early in the morning to tell my wife I will be coming home by weekend,she somewhat sounded surprised and said instead of me coming on Friday I should come on Sunday.

I didn't say anything,I pretended not to be angry with that. Yet I immediately did a cash transfer for feeding and balance for the kids school fees that same morning we were discussing.

Later in the evening,I expected her to call and update me on the fees payment,but I didn't receive any call,I then had to call but her lines were all switched off,at this point I was worried especially when I couldn't talk to the kids.

I then called a neighbor to help me check if they are at home only to confirm they travelled for burial which the neighbor got to know from a phone conversation between my wife and her sister.

At this point, I called my wife's brother only to confirm that they were having a burial in their village, which I am not aware of,even as an inlaw.

Right now am very upset and I don't want to act in anger,please how can I react to this conspiracy between her and her family carrying my car with my kids to a distant village for burial without my knowledge.

Thanks for mature inputs only:
I will advise you dig deeper into finding out more details surrounding your wife and her actions. Set more traps for her. You may be surprise to discover more strange and baffling things about her and your findings will determine your next line of action.

There is no smoke without fire. Many times we trust too easily, people who we only know on the surface and they take good advantage of us. I think there may be more to your wife beyond this accidental discovery hence my advice.

Goodluck

This Gbagi of a man is wicked and evil.
My encounter with him was sometime in the mid 1990s. I was walking on the road, in front of his house where he lived then in Ajao estate. He was standing in front of his house, by his gate. He ordered me to move away from the road in front of his house or he will shoot me and nothing will happen as he wull tell the police that I am an armed robber.
FamilyRe: What Will You Do If You Have My Kind Of Parents? by sophy17(m): 7:39pm On Sep 19, 2020
SecretSpy666:
Greetings Nairalanders,
I want to seek for you peoples opinions regarding my family challenges.

I'm from a broken home. My parents divorced when I was a child of two years. I'm the only child from their union. My father and mother abandoned me and remarried to other spouse each. I passed through hell growing up with relatives who insulted me with all kinds of names and I was treated like a slave to their own children.

Because of public outcry about my dehumanizing treatment, my father came to village and took me to the city. It was from fry pan to fire experience as my father's new wife was maltreating me. At a point, my father asked me to leave his house that since my arrival, he don't have peace with his wife.

I packed to the house of a relative and work in a block industry to help myself. Most times, I slept in a CAC church close to the relative house as the two-room apartment is not enough for his family. My mother never care if I was alive. She never call me nor reply to letter I sent through someone to her. I continued working in the block industry and started a part time programme. I completed the part time programme and did my NYSC and master degree. I got a job with University of Ado Ekiti with the help of a course mate, managing myself now and surprisingly my mother and father started calling me often.

Both of them have 6 children each with their respective second spouse. Mother want his son to come and live with me, I refused and my father too have been requesting for financial assistance which I also refused. I don't want to have anything to do with both of them. My father's daughter recently called me to help her with school fees, I bluntly told her to ask her mother what she did to me and caught the call. Since then, she never call.

I'm alone and have just two friends. I don't have family. All of them calling now are just looking for what to get from me, not that they care about me. My mother never call me once to ask about my welfare even when I sent my phone number to her through her relative. I wrote WAEC, completed degree course before she started calling me and it is only to request for one thing or other. I'm planning to get married without telling them and build a separate family.
I always say that nobody chose or knows his or her father, mother or siblings from heaven. It is on earth we get to know the family we are born into. This tells you that there is nothing special or spectacular about our family than the rest humans we meet on earth. Once you know this, you become free of any bondage.
Whatever you owe your fellow human is what you owe them and never to your own detriment.
