FamilyRe: Babyosisi's Marital Advice To New And Intended Wives by sparkleboy(m): 11:06pm On Feb 25, 2015
Wow!! WHAT AN EDUCATIVE THREAD.
I grew up seeing my Dad help my mum handle house chores and he still cooks till now whenever they are the only ones at home and she busy or very tired. So it happens! Some time I even think he is overdoing it by cooking while she's marking or preparing her lecture notes, but he'll be like, it's none of my business. grin grin



babyosisi:
Let me make this clear,the average nigerian man is not born with a willingness to help the woman in domestic stuff,you need to ask for it to happen.
He never saw his father or uncles do it.He saw his mother work her hands to the bones catering for everyone if there were no maids and probably just saw his sisters help as they got older.
My husband cooked me a meal on our first date and after he married me and realized later on, I couldn't quite cook grin grin.he continued to cook and taught me how to make certain things after marriage.His mother taught the boys to cook and I benefited from that.


Later on he backed off completely and I did it all
Our babies came soon after marriage and I was still doing everything
(The only time he cooks is when I am in the hospital having a baby.He will bring yam peppersoup to the hospital the next day and the fridge will be full of cooked food to last a few weeks.)
By the second baby,I was still doing it all it became unbearable and I suffered in silence because I figured that was what a good wife should do but I would complain about it and give hints until one day I actually broke down and cried hysterically.
We were getting ready for church Oga was eating breakfast.I fed and dressed up my almost two year old and was getting the baby ready,I turned around,the 2 year old had taken off her shoes and jacket and put a stain on her dress.i still had the baby bag to pack,get myself ready to make it to church where I led praise and worship and couldn't afford to be late.
I felt so overwhelmed and just cried asking why he couldn't just help rather than just sit and eat while I was struggling
Told him I couldn't do all this by myself
That was when he realized it was a lot of work for me,sometimes the man doesn't just know you need help.
From that moment on,he started to help on Sundays with baths,feeding and anything I asked,well most not everything(the machines will come out a times ) grin
And by the time I started working my "ogwu aja jobs",he would bathe the youngest one and dress them up as long as I laid out all the clothes
So from that moment on,it got easier
I made sure to let him know how appreciative I was
By the time the third child came along,he started doing most of the midnight feeds and the baths too.
I will even run away to another room to catch some sleep when the baby wakes up,he will warm the bottle and give it to the baby.

Now the kids are older and do most of things by themselves,he is back to his old self
He won't pick up a pin
And that's ok
We have people to do that not just me

FamilyRe: Babyosisi's Marital Advice To New And Intended Wives by sparkleboy(m): 10:29pm On Feb 25, 2015
It's so sad you went through all this, all in the name of marriage!
Some men are real beasts, but one thing I have understood in this world is that The Law of sowing and Reaping is real and Karma is a real Bitc.h
Thank God you left him.
No matter what a lady does, no man should ever lay his hand on his wife to beat. cry



mutter:
Thumbs up.
There is so mature and genuine. I love this thread.
It is like balsam to the soul.

Please for any of you in an abusive marriage. Pick up your courage and leave. God will always find a way to make it right.
When I left my ex with kids I was headed into the unknown. Yes I was lucky that I had the opportunity to go to Germany but I went through a great deal of pans, hard work, adjusting and trying to find my feet.
Yes I paid a very high price for leaving but it was worth it at the end and God remained faithful.

What kept me so long in that marriage was also pressure. From seeing others marriage work out, from family. Everyone kept giving advice like be humble, be obedient and the beating will stop. That was the biggest mistake because it just got worse.
The things I got beaten for were absurd.
- I did not hear him at the door at 2 in the morning.
- I cooked and gave his people form the village chicken.
- I looked a male visitor in the face.
- The curtain was not straight.
- I was not responding in bed which meant I probably got it somewhere else.

He had this habit of summoning a "tribunal" made up of his family or friends and they would start querying me. I just did not understand it. I did not dare tell them what was going on because that would only attract another beating. Well noted the whole time kneeling and only apologizing. Finally one day I showed some women my bruises. They were shocked. After my ex had hit me the first time on the face and got rebuked from a senior officer he never made that mistake again. He would hit me more on my trunk upper arms and upper legs. He told me that those were parts of my body I had no right to expose to another man. So it actually went quite unnoticed, only that I would limp at times and sometimes I could not even sit down. IT was bad.

Then he had this sick habit of asking me to take off my undies for him to control when I came back home. At a stage he even wanted to inspect me. Why wold I protest if I was innocent he would ask.

Did I ever mention a woman I knew who was raped when the daughter was just a day old and all the stitches bust cry
In the early hours of the night I begged him to take me to the hospital to be stitched back because the longer it was open, the less the chance of healing. It took so long, the baby cried and cried while they were stitching me and my husband ordered the nurse to put the baby on my breast. I was in so much pain because the doctor did not use enough anesthetics. Being a military hospital the nurse complied and was trying to hold the baby on my breast. I pleaded with her not to. I didn't want my daughter to drink my pain cry
She put her finger into the baby´ baby´s mouth.

Yes it was bad and it was getting really SICK!

Then he decided to take another wife. He brought a man and a batman to do all the chore for him, did not eat my food. He locked me out of my room. would have to wait for him to come home late in the night and then he would open his room and ask me to come and sleep there. In the morning he would let me enter my room to change. He took the car away from me. Made me give him all my salary.

Then finally I took the step. I went to visit his people in the village to explain that I could not cope. They had nothing to say except that I should go but alone.
I went home to my family, they said I could go but he could not put me up. He did not want the army in his home.
So I called my grandmother in Germany. God bless her departed soul! She went the very next day to the airline and booked one way tickets for me and the kids. I told my ex that my grand grand mum had invited me to Germany with the kid`s to see her now she was getting old. He let me go happily because he was planning his wedding.

When you read all this you would realize that it was constructive desertion-

My ex by his action made it impossible/ forced me to live for me to stay.
When a man makes it impossible for you to stay. Then you are not leaving the home but the man sent you off.

I wish I could proudly say I left on my own free will. But I actually had no choice.

After leaving the marriage the greatest bitterness was giving that man the best years of my life.

I'm impressed with his "detective level" skills and expertise in analyzing.
I think we need people like this in our police force cheesy grin
It's time for we the youths of this nation to stand up and resist this self serving and selfish politicians who are all interested in fulfilling their own desires of getting power by all means and filling their coffers with the lucre and wealth of the Nation.
From Obasanjo to Buhari to Jonathan and tinubu


They are all thieves. But we can't have any real change when young people believe that cheating in exams and bribing invigilators is the way to go and they drive without license while bribing police officers and frsc officials, Everyone need to start the change from the man in the mirror. tongue
A nation where the youths prefer to stay online and chant sai Buhari and GeJ till 2019 instead of investing their time in building their intellectual capacity will always be ruled by smart scammers who would ride on the ignorance of the people to power.


How I wish we start this change with ourselves which will lead to kicking out the lootocrats and the opposition turned savior wannabes


Nigerian youths it's time we develop ourselves intellectually.

Christianity EtcRe: I Masturbated While Fasting,does It Have Any Effect On My Fast? by sparkleboy(m): 10:38pm On Feb 22, 2015
Hello bro,
The most important thing is to give your life to Jesus!
This is a very easy thing cos God is a very loving and forgiving God!
Simple steps to become free.

Abc
A: accept the fact that you are a sinner Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God!
B: believe that Jesus came to the world to die and pay the price for your sins and that he has the power to redeem you and deliver you from every form of bondage to sin,
C: confess Jesus as your Lord and savior and call for grace to live a life of victory in Christ Jesus

You don't need to punish yourself by fasting for 4 weeks when you are still bound to sin.

No matter the number of days you try to fast to be free, without the above steps you'll keep falling. The eyes of God is to holy to behold iniquity and our righteousness are like filthy rags before him.

The Hands of God is not too short to save neither is his ears to heavy to hear our prayers but it's our sins that keeps him away from hearing and saving us. Isaiah.

God bless u

Catered4:
Hello sir. I had no battery on my phone. Like I said, you can start with a bag of onions. If you are not the extravagant type, u will make it fast to 10 bags or more starting with a bag. All you need to do is to discuss with the market women that sells tomatoe\onions. Tell them you want to supply them onions or just tell them u have a bag of onions for sell. Before doing that dear, do your market survey. Find out the cost of a bag of onions in the major big markets in your location.
As for the profit margin, you have N2000 naira or more on a bag depending on the market or location.
Don't worry sir, all will work out fine for you.
Thank you.
Hello ma, well done
Pls I have a church member who is presently jobless, though she's married but she might be interested. Can you supply her in Osogbo?
BusinessRe: A Nairalander Tales Of Her Onions Business by sparkleboy(m): 7:07pm On Feb 21, 2015
napolie:
11k will get u one full bag/sack of onions and still get it down to lagos.

Talking about profit, u should not likened it to a get rich quick scheme. The profit margin ranges from 16% to 24% and can still skyrocket to 60% or more depending on the type of market and season. The more your bags, the more your profit.

Accommodation - where are u based, and why do u need accommodation if u reside in lag. If u want to travel down to the North ursef, u'll incur more expenses which is not included in the initial 11k.

Transport - I think I have done justice to that

Feel free to ask more questions but u'll get a reply after I'm done with my laundry.. Thanks
