In the 80s, ladies were putting on "Oleku" Blouse and Short Wrapper usually around knee level made from handmade woven fabric, a dressing for club girls then, is now one for responsible housewife in this age.
The supageti and Jim trouser sef, our pastor/imam go admonish you to emulate ladies putting on such in the age

Lol. since it’s better than going almost n*ked with bum shorts bursting with BBLs and other plastic. I wonder what the next level will be.

In 20 years time we may even be nostalgic for the days of bum shorts

OlujobaSamuel:

Hmmmm, I'm so sure the vixens in the video were referred to as irresponsible girls then, only God knows wetin we go call the vixens of this day if we placed them side by side

Lol. Because of “supageti” and “Jims trouser”. If only the people criticising back then knew what fashion was going to become, they would have kept their silence.

Everyone has their own time in the sun…before you know it.. yours is over!

profmallor:
No I m raising the fact that he is joined together with someone that does cherish his values, changes the rules according to what suites are her family and this would be story for his married years. He needs to do something about it cause that problem won't go away.

Yeah. Keeping almost all her money to herself yet still chook eye for 10% tithe…this guy must be a very nice man cos most would just tell her to shut up

I stopped tithing a few years ago..maybe I ought to start it again..hmm..

@topic, your wife only contributes 30% to household outgoings plus you support her on giving to her family. This is a very cosy arrangement for her so I feel it is quite uncharitable for her to complain about measly
10% of your own earnings when she keeps most of her money to herself.

If I were her I would keep shut but hey, human beings must always find something to complain about.

Yes, young people like to grapple with different ideas, that’s how it’s supposed to be.
If you want to persuade her otherwise why don’t you get her some nice books to read since she seems intelligent

And women’s advocates have existed since, they’re not all feminists. Why don’t you just celebrate the miraculous Jamb score and leave the poor girl alone?

Why is it that some soldiers look cool, clean and nice while others look like Ajofia masquerade.

dominique:
She's in fantastic shape for a mum of 6 in her 50s and she wasn't always this fit, she worked hard to stay fit. Worthy of emulation

As long as there was no surgery involved

….

I’m thankful for my life as a serial nobody…being part of that dilapidated, Defunct Royal Family is the worst thing that could happen to a human soul.

A guilded cage…all needs and wants taken care of but no dignity or freedom as an adult…

this guy could have been living his life by now as a normal retired soldier instead of passing through all this rubbish.

Butter is made from animal fat (milk) while margarine is made from vegetable oil.

Margarine was touted as the healthy alternative some years ago, however that info is now outdated. Butter is more beneficial than margarine because it is natural, not minding saturated or unsaturated fats.

HOWEVER in our environment where most people are not used to drinking fresh milk and where storage of milk products can be precarious, margarine is the safer option which is what your teacher was driving at.

Konquest:

Where are you from originally?

I read from multiple sources years back that the Osu caste system is practiced in ALL the Ibo States and it's been tough to stop it till this very moment because investigations are usually still conducted into the family backgrounds or lineages of those who are about to get married to avoid getting married into the families of Osus or social outcastes within each community.

Yes, it is practiced in every state BUT not every community in the state will do it. Some people will be investigated before marriage and revealed to be osu but if the other family doesn’t believe in it, the marriage can still go ahead (especially if the person is wealthy or popular).

Also some people who are very religious still go ahead to marry the person citing that there’s no difference between slave or freeborn in Christ.

Judolisco:
I was taught osu caste system in social studies many years ago, do the igbos still practice dis system? Can a freeborn marry from the osu clan?
The igbos in rivers and some parts of delta do claim they ain't igbos and hate to be called one, are they osus as well? Or were they termed as osus in the past?
... Also some igbos hate the igbos from ebonyi, are the ebonyi igbos osus as well?

So many questions but the most important one is, is this tradition still in practice till today or it's a thing of the past?

Yes it’s still in practice but there is an attempt to stamp it out. I’ve seen a few government billboards condemning it in the east.

But in very rural communities especially in Imo state I don’t think much progress has been made.

Handsome dude…😍

Rivers state politicians are getting less obese and awkward-looking. Good

I have an uncle who was a lot older than that when he married…it took almost a decade of prayers to sort it out.

With genuine family support your uncle will be all right OP.

Hmm. Well, hopefully the kids won’t be yours so you can just forget about her.

Stevenbright:


If you gat the story, the girl didn't tell him her father is occultic (ROF) but that he is traditional. So, she was being crafty if not deceitful with the hope of manipulating the guy to submission by saying "I told you before".

Being traditional doesn't mean you are an herbalist or an occult. Most traditionalist simply believe there is God but don't believe in accessing Him through any of the well known imported religions but through ancestral worshipping where they mostly use local drinks, colanut etc to do their thing.

Thank you, she didn’t go into detail cos she knew he’d be scared…how will your dad be a whole ogboni and you won’t mention it. Lying by omission.

I understand her reasons but it’s quite wrong. And the guy is even feeling guilty not realising that he was purposely manipulated.

NoToPile:


But first one has to have the understanding of patterns, foundations and how the spiritual controls the physical, how your bloodline can affect you which obviously lots of chirstains don't even understand.

Yeah. It struck me when you said that just 3 or 4 generations back, all of our families must have been traditional worshippers. I think we collectively as a society are avoiding facts like this.

Courz:



For your info, the spiritual wickedness ruling Africa is part of the reason Africa is plagued with extreme poverty. The powers that be use Spiritual laws to hold Africa down and as long as politicians are part of these powers, Africa will remain where it is. I don't expect you to understand a single thing of what I'm saying. So, upgrade your knowledge in how the world really works in the Spirit realm in conjunction with African leaders. Don't joke with the Spirit realm for it controls the physical.

I read that Africa is plagued with poverty because of the climate and due to huge numbers of healthy young people being captured as slaves…

Traditional worship is not the same as cult o.

Addictive personality. Like that guy who ate himself to death yesterday.

He needs therapy else he will just do it again.

jamesversion:


You are always wondering. You cant live here cos you're a sissy. Insteadof you to face the subject matter, you're typing rubbish. Stvpid Yoruba man.

But it’s not rubbish…yall south south dudes are fuckingggg crazy

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Since the former CEO demise, their bank app has been having network problems

Another angle. I wonder how they’re coping since the sudden loss of their boss.

Kennyfancy:
How come he grew so fat when he wasn't like that when he was young

His father died when he was a teen and he began overeating to soothe the pain of his loss.

adabaraabdul:

so are u saying if the lifestyle was managed better from the onset, perhaps he wouldn't have gone to a helpless state?

I think so. Just look at the size of one of his legs, for crying out loud! How much could you possibly eat to deposit this kind of adipose tissue?

Even if he has an unhealthy diet he clearly has some sort of genetic deficit that’s making his body go overboard. Dude should have been given some gene therapy or something when he was a teenager. It’s not normal at all.

pansophist:


Food addiction caused it,

its the opposite of Anorexia, where a person (mostly girls) who is already slim sees themselves as very fat in the mirror. Then starve themselves so badly, that you can see their ribs through their skin.

Have you ever witnessed a case of such in Nigeria? It was a real problem in the West some years back. That’s where this whole “body positivity” movement started from.

Oyibo place a serious premium on being very slim. It’s their equivalent of fair skin in blacks.

pweeryambre:

I recently cut one off from my life... Blocked her from all my social media. A friend that never hesitate to use every single opportunity to insult or embarrass you.
Very jealous for no reason, meanwhile the husband is reach oh, they have a very big house, cars kids and everything yet very jealous I cannot understand.

Same, I had to slowly cut her off by giving some dull responses to messages until I eventually blocked her. Somebody id known since secondary school o, she has everything but as soon as you make your own small progress she’d start acting somehow or even try to spoil it. Messed up souls everywhere, Tueh

ONNYX:


That's the very firsts thing that struck me when I first read the post.......but the girl is the more foolish person here. I don't know her....I had to use Google to discover her. In her mind let them do what they want she will not sacrifice anything for this event.....emphasis being on the wedding ceremonies ...... She will deal with the consequences later. She is obviously desperate and there is nothing wrong with that......it's the handling that matters. All she needed to do was to in all humility cultivate a tight relationship with some other members of the family especially the boys mother. It would take time but then it would work......and if it doesn't work you move on. This option is like living your life walking sometimes on thorns and nails and then other times on eggs.

Don't underestimate the successes of private detectives in Nigeria. I am still amazed at what they can achieve. And the family is supposedly a well known and well to do one.

I don't envy her at all.

Well, maybe that’s what she had been doing and the family were frustrating her. Cos this is a very drastic action by Nigerian standards.

dudes mom and sister were actually in attendance…seems like the father wants to use the wedding to flex muscle…whatever the investigators may have found, the guy obviously doesn’t mind.

I wish them the best sha…even wedding wey the whole umunna don bless still fit crash…what do we know 🤷🏾‍♀️

So tall and slender…they were jealous of her.

When you notice people acting funny towards you, try not to ignore it. Cos the thing hardly resolves itself,…the person must try some weird sh*t in the near future…

ONNYX:


You are very correct here. But if you have a child and have bonded with him enough and are willing to protect him as much as you can then you will understand that parents do not have anything against any particular girl or boy introduced into the family.

I think this is the bone of contention…how many parents bother to bond with and understand their kids?

The way you are approaching it is from a nice angle but just know that majority of African parents are not as enlightened as you. They merely see their relationship with their child as a means of control and subjugation rather than an expression of love.

If we even look closely it seems that this guy is even lashing out after a lifetime of being misunderstood!

So what does the guy do, aside from being from a wealthy home? Has anybody mentioned that one?

Thoughty2:
Happy birthday to her. Only miserable people will say she looks miserable so they can feel a little sense of happiness laughing at people's problems.

Because she is not married nor have a child does not mean that she is not genuinely happier than many of you.

She has a child o. I don’t know whether it’s her fame that insulates her from the usual Nigerian insults. Cos anyone else would have travelled out several years ago
