Hi. I just started a Facebook group for proofreaders and editors in Nigeria so we can have a platform to exchange information and grow together. It is also an easy avenue to share workload easily. If you are interested, the name is Proofreaders & Editors in Nigeria. |

First, they did not 'meet'. These two attended services (for votes). Their culture dictated their pose for talking and prayers. In the picture with David Cameron, there's more respect of personal space while in the picture with GEJ, they stood more closely together, as per we do not really care for things like that here. Hope Cameron has GEJ 's list of pastors and imams and babalawos.  |
| Christianity Etc › Re: Are Long Prayers Usually The Most Effective? by thaira(f): 4:52pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
Heartfelt prayers are the most effective. The Bible in James 5:16 assures us that the prayers of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Extended prayers should be done at midweek prayer meetings and vigils but pastors know a lot of people come to services with issues on their minds and so many still conduct long prayers at every service. I don't like repeating myself during prayers and will rather read the Bible in between. |

Imagine all my needs taken care of for 16 years. I would be grateful too. Chauffeurs, cooks, constant electricity, WiFi on demand, my kids school fees, designer wears, designer accessories, the best cars and private jets. 27 Million naira pension... Yes, I will be very satisfied. Go home and enjoy yourself. Write a book and we will give you more money to read it. You are set for life, no shaking. |
| Family › Re: Why Do Some Women Want More Kids? by thaira(f): 12:32pm On Sep 14, 2014 |
I think part of the reason is our idea of how to raise kids. We mostly think of food, clothing and shelter. That is, after the one year or so of total dependence on the mother. Then we hand over to the teachers. They come back from school daily and its home work and TV. Or house chores sef. If you think of being involved in every aspect of their lives-reading to them every night at bedtime, PES for each of them, personal rooms for them, trained nannies, teaching them to cook, taking them to music class, sports training, taking them out on weekends to beaches, malls, fun centers and even the once a year travel to Dubai or UK, you will put full stop at 2kids. 3 Likes 1 Share |
| Family › Re: Is There Anything Wrong With Bein A House Husband by thaira(f): 10:18am On Jul 16, 2014 |
So many will say it should not be that way yet the way men go about it in this Nigeria is terrible. When they find themselves staying at home either from being laid off or from laziness, they don't do house chores, they don't help with the children, and when the woman buys things for the house, they don't say thank you. Sometimes they are even the wife beaters, venting their frustration on their wife. I've heard of some in farming communities in the south-south who stay home while the wives and children till the farmland yet when the farm produce is sold, they collect it and send on akpeteshie.  2 Likes |

Vock: The Onlookers,why are they not doing anything?? you can't try that in Lagos with people looking at youIn Lagos markets, nobody will raise alarm because if they do, after the victim is gone, their gang comes to attack the whistle blower. I know someone that they simply kept pouring watery shyte in front of her shop overnight for two weeks until she begged them. Less influential people may get beaten up, especially guys. 1 Like |

I would support this motion on the hope that the millions who seek refuge in the church will become politically active. If religious bodies 'give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's', they will not be so apathetic concerning the Nigerian situation. They will rail from the pulpits and and and... Who knows? |

Definitely our Registry date. We did the introduction, then went to registry, had a traditional that was more of partying and did thanksgiving in church afterwards. Our parents gave their consent long before all these so they were for the world to know and its at registry that you get documents anyway. 3 Likes |
| Business › Re: Dangote Cement To Shut Gboko Plant by thaira(f): 8:53pm On Dec 06, 2012 |
General Garicks: The glut in the market is seriously annoying. This is december and instead of cement price going up, it's rather coming down. People are not even cashing in on the lower prices to build their houses as they complain there is no money anywhere. The cheapest trip of stones is about N28,000. White sand is about N17,000 a trip. A tank of water is N4,000. A 2-bedroom bungalow with fencing can consume 3-trips of stones, 8-trips of sand, 6-tanks of water and about 4,500 blocks at a cost of N140 per block. Labour and supervision fees is something else. These things are costly to source. Cement dealers are really crying.I think Dangote's main headache would be that if he reduces price in the South East, he has to do the same in other regions of the country. There's really no reason for him to reduce prices there as his brand is preferred and his prices are good enough compared with the competition. Its simply a business decision. |

[quote author=onnari ]Lol @ atrocities :-) Yeah it does seem like she did. Thing is, she didn't really want anything external for the fear of not knowing what to wear it with and all too. But it really isn't really difficult to figure out. U can do turtle necks, high necklines, tube tops/dresses, etc[/quote]high neckline and tubes work out well. I don't like turtlenecks but I can see it working out fine. Thanks. |

[quote author=never_say_never]Best comment so far. @ op, Same tribe or not, in-law issues will almost certainly come up. Distance is essential, so maybe you should relocate, and be nice to your in-laws no matter, but don't take no shyte. Pray too.[/quote]Don't be deceived @ op. You will take shyte, in the bucketloads. It will be dished out even If you have ten sons. Even If you marry from your own tribe. What's more important is that you learn to deal with them as they are. Even your best friends give you shyte not to mention in-laws. I believe its the most complicated relationship ever. Enjoy the good times and be steadfast when the bad times come because they will still give way to good times. Son or no son. All the best. 1 Like |
