Persephone1:
The fact that your sister is a single mother doesn't make her invalid, she deserves all the love, loyalty and most importantly PEACE like every other person.
The fact that your mother has a daughter who is a single mother doesn't make her half a being she deserves the right to protect and look out for her daughter's well being.
Your mum is very right to oppose a union she presume dangerous or unfruitful albeit with valid evidence of course. Once bitten, twice shy ! I respect your mother for being objective and not desperate, some mothers would have been the ones pushing their daughters into marriage irrespective of who the man is.

There are lots of Pros and Cons in marrying or dating a single father or divorcee. Most times the cons tend to be more visible because pros has to do with personality of the person involved and how couples have been able to manage their cons.

My question: Does your sister know this man? The true reason he is divorced? Is she ready face whatever may come with him? Is she ready to accept that in some situations she may not be his priority? Is she marrying for love and commitment and not for wedding ring and title? Is the man really committed to her and not what she has to offer as a woman? Is she ready to be a single mother of more kids if anything goes wrong? Can she love another person's kids.
Let her answer these questions genuinely If she is positive then she can go on to convince your Mom.

Good luck.

Spoken like a true feminist

Here is another angle. The man was responsible enough to at least marry someone the right way. The girl's sister gave it away for free, which makes her pretty irresponsible.

She won't let her daughter marry a man with a child, but she wants someone else's son who has never had a child to marry her own after one daughter.

Women overinflate their true worth. She is an adult, n she can do whatever she wants but the person currently pricing the goods looks like the best she can get. But if she feel she can do better, who am I to stop her?

FiftyFifty:
@Op. Your uncommon hypocrisy is increasingly becoming both irritating and disgusting. From the October 7th, the Isareli settlers together with the IDF have killed more than 250 Palestinians in Ramallah and West Bank. If, according to Israeli, the over 14,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza most of whom women and children are due to Hamas, what about the over 250 killed in West Bank and Ramallah that are under the Israeli occupation? Israel has lost the propaganda war. For the first time in history, CNN is questioning its narrative, even the EU Chief Baron is openly calling for the two state solution which was halted by the Isreali after a radical young Jew Yigal Amir shot and killed the Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin in 1995 in the presence of over 100,000 Jews attending a peace rally.
Without peace in Palestine, there should be no peace in Israel. You can only deceive the gullible ones.

5 different times in history, a two state solution was offered to Palestine. Including the first one where Isreal said even if the parcel of land to be given to them is not more than the size of a table cloth, they will take it.

Palestine was given 80percent of the land. The last two state solution was brokered by Bill Clinton.

But guess what your brothers did? Each and every time, they walked away from the deal. They will settle for nothing else than the total death of Jews. "River to the sea"

Isreal a 4000 years civilization. A people who had been in existence a whole 2000 years before prophet Muhammad and 1400 before Jesus Christ, you people dare to look them in the eyes and tell them that in the entire land in the whole of middle east, not even a plot of land belong to them.

Of course, I don't expect you to accept anything. But all is not lost bro, at least Hamas is winning on social media

DavidEsq:

Did u read where she said the UK school confirmed that the UK account was later closed and this made it impossible for the school to refund the money, hence they couldn't verify the account? U didn't read where she said a friend tries paying some pounds to the UK account but could not do so because it was closed? Isn't it now obvious that reading and comprehension are now strange bedfellows with most Nigerians of whom u are chief? Are u so irredeemably daft or dumb as a door nail? Is your brain so dead weight?

As a supposed lawyer, I would have expected your brain to function better than this. How come she didn't give any clue on the owner of the account? And how come an acc which performed transaction of over 2k pounds months prior is suddenly closed? Could it be the regulators flagged the owner or d owner realized something is up and shut it down?

If I have to be the one educating a so called lawyer, then there is a problem in this country. No wonder your so called senior colleagues can't write a damn tribunal judgement. The daftness starts early.

HazzanTazzan:


foolishness is easy to spot.

if you had read er post and saw the evidences provided, youd see the school tried refund but refund declined multiple times cos the originating account doesnt function anymore... you wont know this either ... smh

Beer parlour reply reply from a typical dullard.

Since you read the story, Oya Identity the originating account in this story, Lemme me measure your IQ.

This one looks like money laundering 101.

You sent money to the school via UK akant, but you wan collect am back via Naija akant. Aunty, it's like your head is paining you

How about another interpretation. You scammed someone in the UK and used the scam proceed to pay tuition deposit. Now you want the school route the money to your akant in Nigeria so you can cash out.

The idiott even have the audacity to drag Polaris bank into her madness.

If you are not hiding anything, tell d school to send the money back to the original UK account that help you pay the school fees. Then tell the account owner to send the money back to you in Naija.

I mean, I shouldn't have to be giving a sell acclaimed Crypto expert this advice.

Seems many people no sabi this guy

He was very successful as Former Al Ahly & Mamelodi Sundowns manager. He is one of the best African coaches around.

He is a great coach for our team but NFF go stain his white oo

That's what I said too. If he can coach Al ahly, he is a very good coach

This new generation of Nairaland members that always feel the need to attach pictures to the thread they create.

Op, the quality of everything has reduced. Even the quality of that beer you are drinker has reduced

Brispy:
This is so true . Went back to an ex , I contracted h-pylori bacteria from kissing her and my life hasn’t remained the same . The Bacteria ate my stomach lining and caused me gastritis. And I now battle with bad breath ( due to inflamed gut ) that I hated with passion . I wish I never met that girl in the first place , I now pretend like I don’t know her whenever I see her . Good thing is I’ve healed to an extent but my gut is messed up but I’m a fighter , I’ll never give up till I’m completely healed

How are you so sure she is the one? Does she have the same bacteria or symptoms? Is kissing d exclusive way you could HV contracted it?

HenryWilliams:


Your last quote is false.
Do you know how many DEA, ATF these people murder yearly?
The US won't release any figures for you.
Stop believing in documentaries and movies
They die wella.

Google Enrique "Kiki" Camarena Salazar. Every DEA agent in America worships his tombstone. He is the one who took away all their sins n death.

Dem never born the cartel since 1985 wet go open korokoro eye go kill their agent.

Resetinc:
Empty head minister,

Planes are equipped with GPS and pilots input their routes/destination to the gps which draws a line on a map, and they follow that line to their destination. If your plane doesn't have GPS, then a tablet or even your phone can run an app that does about the same thing, at least for visual flight rules….there is also ILS navigation system that picks signals and guides pilots on approach , you don’t have to be a Nigerian to fly an airplane in Nigeria you empty head barrister, We have Control towers that communicate and monitor flight with radio assistance, and onboard inertial reference systems…
What the hell is a fvcking lawyer doing in the aviation ministry?? this country eeh!!

Baba no stress yourself on that empty head. Let's even agree the pilots are not familiar with naija, which means they don't know the route to Abuja, so how come they knew the route to Asaba

This country has gone to the dogs. Even police life means nothing.

If you be criminal for Yankee, if them born your father well, make you go kill police.

As Mexican drug lords mad reach, dem no born their father make dem kill American DEA agents.

$1.5B for repairs, how much be new refinery sef?

The bad military regime built 4 refineries, the good democracy Regime cannot maintain even one.

Exceed15:


Gbamm!

No mind am, business idea wey she get wey she no borrow her papa. Na so business easy?

If she say the guy no get any savings from all the money e dey see, I fit understand. But no be wetin she talk be that.

She call her husband a slave, and indirectly called Davido a Slave Trader.

APC go use this refinery campaign for 2027.

Vote for us so that Dangote refinery will finally start working.

Call him a slave all you want but I like Isreal. You wey dey sleep for Nairaland 24/7 to defend APC, no be ₦35k slave you be?

Davido's dream is so big that Isreal's dream can also fit inside. Chioma's dream/life achievement can also fit into Davido's own.

And so goes for the rest of the DMW crew.

Davido has clearly chosen his side between Isreal and Sheila. I hate it when dey bring you to come chop and you start feeling better than the one who brought you.

A driver who can't come up a solution has no business driving a car.

But it seems the overtaking truck is not going to commit to the overtake after all.

It is mutual

Let's pick rice alone. For those 8 years, lots of Nigerian rice sprang up everywhere. The brands are just too much, and I know these cos I shopped for the office workers last year December for rice.

These brands provided job for Nigerian farmers. So, who do fok cares if Naija rice is a bit expensive than Thai? Who cares if the rice is not as perfect as Thai rice? If I am spending extra on local rice, I at least know that a farmer somewhere in Nigeria is benefiting from it.

Now this guy has exported Nigerian farmers' job to Thailand. Imagine all d big companies that collected loan to plant rice.

The only theory here is that those who appointed Cardoso (not even necessarily PBAT) gave him a precondition to immediately remove these items to allow them access to scarce forex.

You people will beg Emefiele to come back, shebi dollar don Kuku crash by 50% after Emef. Just watch this space.

But Na my joy as dollar dey crash dey go, we dey here dey look.

This one Na just APC political meeting.

How many of the guys even knows how to spell "economy?"

Make una collect una seating allowance jare. The Nigerian masses will only grumble on empty stomach, they can't do shitt.

Dispute any lie I told or you are the trash

Fact is fact anybody can visit NEXT Mall Abuja and let us no the liar and unpatriotic person here



.

There is only one Next Mall I know of. It has not opened after it got burnt long long ago.

So, if you are not a 30k zombie in a hut somewhere between Lagos n Ibadan, give me the address of Next Mall in Abuja you talking about.

True, they have removed ₦3 per litre.

We thank our daddy for always trying to make our lives better.

SadiqBabaSani:
You this rank and file clown, your ignorance about the powers of a constituted authority is damming.

You are the illiterate here. What year did the so called EFCC came into existence that they think they can tramble on the military. Not even Tinubu can mess with the military, are they not the ones guarding him?

The so called EFCC cannot make a single arrest without needing the back up of military. Who born them? Abeg Waka pass

Jokerman:
So EFCC cannot asrest naval officers??

And why are naval officers doing 419? Is the country that bad?

Na, you cannot arrest 7 of my boys without my knowledge. It is the height of disrespect by the EFCC.

If there are allegations against those boys, the military court will try them by itself.

You have no idea the kind of military Intel one or two of those boys could have, now a foreign entity want to detain them for what?

SoNature:
I like the way Dave Umahi is promoting concrete technology in road construction. We cannot continue to fix roads every four years. Every Truck A road is being fixed by every administration; it makes no sense. Our roads should have 10 - 20 years warranty.

cococandy:


Israel can fight back by leaving their land alone.

The Jews have existed 1400 years before Jesus Christ and 2,000 years before prophet Mohammed.

So, you are really going to look Isreal in the face, a 4000 year civilization and tell them that in the entire middle East n Arab world, they don't own even a plot of land? Whatever map they drew for you around 100 years ago, go back n tell them to redraw the map for you 4,000 years ago.

The Palestines were just herders at best. While the Quran mentioned Isreal over 40 times, it never made mention of Palestine.

I know nobody can convince you, so anybody/country who wish to join the war is really free to do so. Nobody is begging anybody. But as a consolation, Palestine r winning the war on social media.

Greenfaces:
Stop changing the goal post. What is hamas fighting for in the first place? You made their country an open air prison. Resisting 75 years occupation of their land is natural. They will form resistant groups and fight back. This is the original problem.

I agree with your submission that Gaza must fight back. But kindly also allow Isreal to fight back. May d best man win this fight backs

CoronaVirusPro:


It will always trickle down to the poor/average.

The poor masses don't know that bad government practices will affect only them. No rich man in any society has ever paid their fair share of tax. Oga patapata, Jeff Bezos, has never paid one dollar despite years of record profit.

The middle class will find a way to pay peanuts, then, they will bill their tenants well to cover the costs

Hedonisco:
What the hell are you yapping about?

Most of our roads are pitch dark at night (no illumination with functional Street lights as is the case abroad). Also, most of our roads are riddled with unforeseen pot holes and other obstructions. Not everyone has 20/20 vision like a cat, so what do you expect? When driving on a typical Nigerian road without bright Street lights at night, my headlights are ALWAYS on full beam. It's just inevitable.

@ the OP Cooolme

High beam in Nigeria is NOT a show off or inconsiderate thing, it is a very important safety feature. Keyword here is Nigeria.

If I drive a better lit car, I will put it on full blast as well. It's a safety feature, not a flex.

Newer cars have a lights that are super bright but easy on the eyes of the upcoming vehicle. But since we all prefer 15 year old cars in Nigeria, this problem will solve itself by 2050.

Another thing is use of fast lane. I stay on wherever has d best patch of asphalt.

If you feel I am too slow while on a fast lane, it is because you are going over the official highway speed of 100kph. And I usually prompt them with my hand to driver around me, as I am not leaving this fast lane except for a really intimidating convoy.

Calitoscassius:
So all these justifies their senseless murder? They should not have being shot in the first place, the man who shot them wasn't the only person in Panama, every other persons respected the rights of the protesters. But No, the coward old white racist took a gun to and killed 2 harmless Panamanian youths, he is not even from Panama, he is a white racist immigrant in Panama.

Do you know how protests are held to achieve results?

Now he will spend the rest of his 77 years old miserable life in prison.

Seems you are not very aware of the nuisance this protesters post.

Just go to YouTube and type "just stop oil protest".

Nothing can justify the death of others but I knew something like this will eventually happen. And even you, if a situation catches you on a wrong day, you are not even sure what you are capable of.

The ambulance couldn't get there in time because the road was already blocked

Talking about tasting from their own poison. They themselves have blocked an ambulance that would have saved them.

I knew it was only a matter of time this sort of thing will happen.

They will come out, sit on the road and block traffic in d name of protest. Ambulances can't pass. Maybe you have a pregnant women on her way to delivery. School children. Office workers n you know say they pay by hour.

What happened to occupying d mine site?
