Yoruba kings don't beg, it's taboo. From experience, they don't even come out until everyone else has begged and dobaled at the engagement.

Bini bride price is N24. Bini brides are not supposed to be showing their teeth at their wedding. A proper Bini bride would cover her mouth with a handkerchief.

No be small thing o.

Culture can be ridiculous sha.

greatgod2012:
Dear, I'm sorry for asking, are you the same person using the moniker "Freecocoa"?

What crime has this lady committed? People seem to dislike her alot.


Is it part of the tradition, to be absent at his marriage ceremony?

Face of democracy indeed.

This country is a joke.

dabossman:
My point is most of you would be in the same age range. Most people start sec school between ages 10-13. Most finish between 15-18. So you can't be say 30 now and most of your mates will be 24. That would be an exception, not the norm.

Chioma Akportha is celebrating her 36th birthday and already some people are saying she is much older. Again, are all Nigerians liars? Are you older than the age you claim?

I agree that schoolmates are mostly withing the same age range and one can be in the same age range with people of 4 years difference, no?. I never argued Adaeze being in the same age range as the girl I quoted, I just doubted her being 25.

I have no issues with chioma's age and don't know the reasons why some who do, do, therefore, I can't speak for them.

No, I am not older than I say now, but who knows? In this country, I just might need a new age.

Hmmm.

I'm not comfortable with these pictures walai.


Why is the girl that made up? why am I even asking as if I haven't lived in the north.

That's a bit much Mr Bakare.

Granted, you haven't been caught raping anyone, much more a minor, but the level of your hypocrisy should be a crime too, don't you think?

daretodiffer:
Stupid people.

This is what a law would prevent. Imagine someone sending you out of 'his house'. If she had her own home, he wouldn't do what he did.

It's actually both their house but this is Nigeria and he is obviously physically stronger than her, to be able to throw her out.

But we mustn't forget that this woman didn't act right, not for a woman who gives a hoot about her hubby/ marriage, if she doesn't then that's a different case.

She can always come home should they work it out, I'm actually impressed he didn't pummel her before throwing her out, like many are known to do.

dominique:
some women are the architects of their own problems. I read a very similar case on a page I follow on Facebook. She told her husband about the three day program, the husband warned not to. She told her husband that her pastor insists she must be there (who holds more importance in your life? husband or pastor?). She disobeyed by the time she returned, met her things outside with the locks changed (ironically she went for the 'ori oke' prayer to seek God's intervention in her failing marriage). Nobody could get him to take her back, not even the pastor. Now she's crying and wailing that her husband is now flaunting a new wife in the same church and the same pastor is giving his blessing.

Ngwanu just negodu.

Rukkydelta:
Like the woman na dope.....the so called husband for no dey yarn all this rubbish..............One reason why a woman should be independent, I'll never depend on a man for means of livelihood

I don't think independence has that much to do with it.

She outrightly disrespected her hubby and a good woman will not do that, the marriage seems like one with a crack already anyways.

victorazy:
God bless u

Reason serpent got her "Eve" easily.

Mbakwa, let's just not go there.

Just imagine, why is the NPF this useless? Since there must be an arrest over the death of an already sick man, why not arrest everyone in the house/ that had contact with the man?

I guess it's easier to blame it on the poor and defenceless maid.

That wife of a woman is evil.

How does one blame the man now? Some women can be very silly sha.

zicoraads:
So, I am now mad!? Anyone who goes through all the pages will clearly single you out as the mad one. Ain't you tired of ranting for days?

Or, are you on your period? You seem to be very aggressive

Or, is that how you rant every second of the day, all the time!?

Village people calling other people ignorant for a practice, a culture that is alien to us. Will you call a white man ignorant because he/she is unaware of the practices that take place in a traditional Nigerian marriage? Iguana!

Obviously, calling you ignorant is an insult to ignorant people and for that, I sincerely apologise, your case is beyond ignorance, you are simply what's best called a m0r0n.

Just take a look at what you came back with and give me one reason why I should engage you.

GlorifiedTunde:
You're absolutely entitled to your opinion as I am.

Accept Jesus Christ into your life, if.you don't, that's your BUSINESS!!!

Being entitled to opinions doesn't mean talking nonsense, does it? Atleast someone with a functional brain should know that.

sarutobie:
. My post was for the op and for Christians..you can mock it for all you want..I hope the op will act wisely than let the hate gnaw away at her soul..

Just as god hating Satan is gnawing away at his soul. I understand.

GlorifiedTunde:
ll I can say is that everyone should take cover under Jesus Christ.

The rate at which bad things are happening and bad news ongoing everyday is alarming.

The truth is it will only get worse , it won't stop; the Bible said so.

Only those who have Jesus have protection in these very dangerous and lethal times...

I'm not talking about just going to Church; I'm talking about having personal relationship with him and living a righteous life.


Thanks

Why can't you just bid them farewell and move on? Which other Jesus again? The one that couldn't protect these seminarians? Or you know that the weren't living righteous lives nor had a personal relationship with the christ?

Your comment is very insensitive and an insult to the memories of these young men.

zicoraads:
Sweetcocoa and MadCow1...and the rest of the 'pack' stop forming sophistication for us. This practice is alien to this side of the world hence the lack of it's understanding by most people on this thread. Calling people who don't understand the practice ignorant shows y'all are the ignorant ones.

There are certain traditional practices that I wouldn't expect a Briton to understand. Not knowing it doesn't mean ignorance, it only means it is alien to him.

Africans and inferiority complex!

See your life? What do you think is the meaning of ignorance?

Does not understanding the tradition, justify all the nonsense spewed at the couple/tradition? Why not ask questions? And you are mad cos those people were called ignorant, you are the most ignorant of all.


Kai! The people I have to deal with on NL.

sarutobie:
. This here is the best post for me.."forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us"...some hurts can be extremely difficult and unfair to forgive..but we don't forgive because the world wants us to,we forgive for our own sake and inner peace..you are hurt and angry,and for good reasons,but for how long will you let another being hold sway over your peace? We have such a limited time on this earth, why spend it brooding over the hurt your loved ones caused you?

Yea right,forgive those who trespass against us indeed.

Why haven't god and Satan mended fences then?abegi.

rubsaphy:
I jus want him to stay away from us, am so sure he is being hypocritical my siblings are already feeling sorry for him. That man can lie for africa

I guess it's a good thing I'm not your sibling cos by the time I speak just small grammar on the matter to the rest, they'll understand that accepting that man ever is tantamount to a heinous crime.

pinceprinz:
Have you ever tried to imagine what kind of life it would've been if yo Dad hadn't kicked you out?

Do you even know if your Dad had remained adamant, not kicking you out the woman might have poisoned yyou guys or used you and abused yo right to care as a child so in so, you might not even get to smell high school less college?

What if your morally lax Dad, had abused one of thou lots sexually if he hadn't let you go?


I'm not saying you should forgive him because He deserves it, but at least, show some little appreciation to fate (if you believe in that) for the journey so farr. Many others are out there on the streets forcing ordinary smile cos they're utter misery just cos they haven't ever had the nurturing support of a parent. You had it ! Now, its an ongoing life, you don't know what life still have to offer and who the Angel to help in whatever's upcoming; Might be yo Dad! Message is ; More friend less foe! If u kwim.

I'm sorry but this is just some fine bullshyte.

No offence for real.

cococandy:
[size=18pt]DO NOT FORGIVE HIM!![/size]

Lol, and I thought we were being subtle.

bukatyne:
Lols!

She should forgive him to rid herself of bitterness and move on.

She can choose to not be bitter without forgiving him, it's all in her hands.

Well sha, I know if I were you, that man would be out of my life for a very long time, if I can't say forever.


Father or not, after all, I didn't ask to be his daughter, so I don't see why I have to accept /love a heartless and irresponsible man cos his sperm is part of my DNA.


But I'm not you, so.........

A reply has never been more perfect.

dabossman:
[author=sweetcocoa post=43691801]So you are saying attending secondary school with someone, makes that person not more than a certain age? What does her going to school with you, have to do with her age?

Sweetcocoa dear, are you saying you were way older than your mates in secondary school? Why do we Nigerians always doubt every other persaon's age? Buhari's age, we doubt. Rita Dominic, we doubt Are we saying all Nigerians are and cheats?

Duh! I was older than some, just like some were older than I was, so I still don't see what your point is.

jeff1607:
depend ke!!? my God I fear you ladies, I guess there would always b a reason to cheat.

is it possible for a lady to have s*xual relations with a guy and ve no emotional attachments whatsoever i.e hit n run(just like a guy). just curious

This kind question sef, impossible is nothing, you never hear that one before, I guess.

I thought this babe was forming 'wife material' no be me talk am o.



She's coming up.

jeff1607:
Ok ma'am but would you decide to stay wit such person especially if i is his first time hitting you? or would you just leave?

Depends on why I was cheating and if I think, he can do it again.

jeff1607:
would like to know your response to this;

let's say you cheated with about 3 different men and your man finds out and slaps you, during confrontation, would you leave him or apologise and leave him or just stick to him

I know you didn't ask me but, why should he slap me cos I was cheating? (i don't condone cheating but we are assuming)

He has no right whatsoever to hit me for cheating, if I'm a cheat, he's better off without me anyways, so why need a cheat to stay?

Run for your dear life, if you love yourself.

Favolly:
Your signature cracked me up

It's true na.
