₦airaland Forum

Dear fellow Nairalanders,

today, I'm feeling on top of the world, because I can clearly see from this thread that majority of my fellow Nigerians still have very high moral standards!

@ OP: I feel great compassion for you, because I have gone through a similar challenge. What saved me from ruin at the time were 2 things:

A. My family
and
B. God's Word.

SOME DETAILS
A, My family contributed greatly because they ALL, without exception, condemned the step I wanted to take. In fact, my Dad threatened to disown me if I went ahead. He told me that the easiest way for a man to destroy his destiny is by having anything to do with another man's wife.

B. God's Word finally brought me back from the brink, because I took some time off work (and away from the situation) to go and research what God says about it. What I discovered shocked me back to my senses. Permit me to share some of them:

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.

Luke 16:1 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Proverbs 6:32 But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself.

Matthew 5:27-28 You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

etc, etc.

HOWEVER, our loving heavenly Father also promises to forgive and cleanse us, if we sincerely repent:

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.


WHAT CAN YOU DO?
1. If you have already promised to marry that woman, find a way to withdraw that promise.

2. Avoid being alone with the woman under ANY circumstance. If need be, get another job, leave that environment and stop communicating with her.

3. Find time to be alone with God and sincerely repent for what you have already done.

In case you don't know, that woman's home is already on fire, because of you.

Her children are probably crying to bed everyday, because such an immoral woman will totally neglect her home, her husband and her children, because she believes herself to have found "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE"! She will no longer clean her own home, prepare food, have sex with her husband or show any respect towards him (even in front of her children).

I wish you the very best as you make your decision.

God bless you!

It all happened like this...
I(a single man) and a married woman with 4kids who we both work in the same restaurant fell in love with each other, though we never had s3x but we use to have hot romance because I don't think I can bear sleeping with another man's wife.
These hidden relationship have been going on since 2 months now.
Like a joke, she asked me that will I marry her if she's single and I told her that yes because she's a spec both physically and otherwise.
BUT NOW I'M AFRAID OF WHAT'S COOKING NOW BECAUSE THIS SAME WOMAN HAVE TOLD HER HUSBAND THAT SHE WANT OUT OF THE MARRIAGE JUST FEW DAYS AGO AND THIS WEEK SHE HAVE INFORMED HER PARENTS OF HER INTENTION OF GETTING OUT OF THE MARRIAGE THOUGH HER PARENTS ARE NOT IN SUPPORT OF IT.

THOUGH I TRIED CLEARING MY MIND BY ASKING HER WHY WILL SHE LEAVE HER HUSBAND AND HER 4 KIDS AND SHE SAID THAT SHE NEVER LOVED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE AND IT WAS HER MOM'S IDEA TO ACCEPT THE MAN'S PROPOSAL BECAUSE SHE WAS JUST 19 YEARS OF AGE WHILE THE MAN IS WAY MORE OLDER, AND TO CROWN IT UP, SHE SAID HER HUBBY ISN'T GOOD IN BED THAT HE PRACTICE HIS CHRISTIAN WAYS OF HAVING SEX SO MUCH THAT EVEN THE LITTLE SHE'S ENJOYING IN THE S3X OF A THING THAT SHE'S THE ONE TAKING IT UP ON HIM.

PLEASE HOW DO I GO ABOUT IN THIS KIND OF ISSUE, THOUGH I LOVE THIS WOMAN BUT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A HAND IN THEIR SEPARATION.

TUANKU:
This is informative. The days before Nigeria became a joke of a country.

Quite informative - I didn't know there were so many bridges across the River Niger.

phemsie:
The cost of the first and second bridge gives credence to how inflation has eaten deep into our resources.

May God help us in Nigeria.

You are very correct.

Just imagine the 1965 bridge built for £6.75m, versus the 2023 bridge built for the naira equivalent of £356m!

Congrats are truly in order.

Well done Prof!

I tell you!

Kobojunkie:
Stop deceiving people with this nonsense abeg! If Nigeria is what you loved, you would worship only your local gods.

Your reaction to the post is very revealing.

For all you know, the Original Poster may be a worshipper of Ifa, Amadioha, Egbesu, Aondo, Sarikin Bakka, or something else.

Do any of the native or foreign "gods" teach hatred or injustice towards our fellow human beings?

Nice to read something very positive about Ogun State, for a change!

NaijaSamurai:
Nice one.

Is Fidelity Bank a good employer?

Who knows anything about their salary scale or conditions of service?

ruggedtimi:
If u dey follow sport news u for don knw since...because of his interview with skysports today u found out. Emenalo no be today man for sports starting with his time at chelsea.

You are correct.

The guy has been very consistent through the years as an excellent manager.

JapaNinja:
Nice one!

We need more of these types of posts.

...And also more of these types of jobs!

JapaNinja:
Na wah o!

This is serious.

Very very serious!

Apart from foodstuff, the hooligans were carting away fridges, TVs, generators, etc...

Yes o!

A lot of Ghanaians came to live in Nigeria in those days.

grandstar:
I love these sort of educative responses. 1,000 stars

That's why Ghanaians were rushing to Nigeria.

My dad built his twin duplex at Ikeja for 60k in 1981.

Wow!

Right now, N3,205 can't even buy a plate of Extravaganza Pizza from Domino's.

The pressure on dollar should reduce.

Yes it will, one export sales start from the new refinery.

Nice one!

Brass8:
Very legit.

Please shed more light. How do you know they are legit?

Lexusgs430:
You already know it would eventually collapse........ So put your money under your bed .........

Thanks a lot, but the reason I brought this here is that the person who invited me to join OmegaPro happens to be someone I really trust and respect. He is a top manager in one of Nigeria’s blue-chip companies, and I've known him for a long time.

He has tried to explain the basis of OmegaPro investments but I am not 100% convinced.

Fellow Nairalanders,

sometime ago, someone invited me to join the OmegaPro online investment scheme but I have been very sceptical about it.

Do you know anything about them? Are they running a genuine investment or is it another MMM in disguise?

Please share whatever you know about them.

43Ronin:
He was caught with his partner Olaitan Olaniyi from Ogun state

Ogun State seems to have a nasty reputation for ritual crimes.

Any particular reason for this?

The US says it has "serious doubts" about the credibility of Equatorial Guinea's election results that saw the world's longest-serving president continue his 43-year-rule.

Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, 80, secured almost 95% of votes, according to election officials.

"Given the scale of irregularities observed and the announced results giving the [ruling party] PDGE 94.9% of the vote, we have serious doubts about the credibility of the announced results," said US State Department spokesman Ned Price.

It said there were credible allegations of "significant election-related irregularities, including documented instances of fraud, intimidation, and coercion".

A Vietnam war veteran walked into a liquor store in Massachusetts on a cold December day. He played the Lucky for Life Game lottery, like he had been doing for over 20 years...

..."like he had been doing for over 20 years"...

This is the hidden truth about gambling: It is based on pure luck, with zero guarantees.

The man had been staking his money for over 20 years, without winning anything!

Some people have gambled all their adult lives, yet never won anything till they died.

DeFuturePresido:
Yes o!

Prof2007, what happened to you?

He probably went abroad on sabbatical...

Marathon runner...very apt metaphor for Elon Musk!

NigeriaMustFly:
I'm new here but, shouldn't this forum have rules / sanctions against derogatory remarks?

Yes it does. The rules are actually displayed very conspicuously. For example:

"Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to Nairaland members OR THEIR TRIBES."

Forumobserver12:
So his son is also the vice president or I'm I missing something?

The citizens of that country should be ashamed of themselves for allowing President Obiang and his family to rule over them for the past 43yrs...

You haven't missed anything.

Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue (born 25 June 1968), nicknamed Teodorín, has been Vice President of Equatorial Guinea since 2016.

He is a son of Teodoro Obiang (president of Equatorial Guinea) by his first wife, Constancia Mangue.

ella29:
Maybe he was kidnapped

This is also possible...especially because he has been incommunicado for so long.

kansoboy:
100%....I am talking from experience.

Na wa ooo...Someone told me about two parents that asked a "medicine man" to supernaturally call their son back from Europe (after he had been gone for 15 years with no contact), and the son landed in the country the next day.

When asked what he came to do in Nigeria, he couldn't give any reasonable explanation.

Sammy4Joy:
He will be found safe and sound, in Jesus' Name.

Amen!
