I wonder all these people who don't believe. When my ground mother died we stay apart I mean far from each other. My room door that night open by itself not that breese was blowing, in the morning of it I was told she passed on.
Oh please. So you find it easier to believe it was your grand mother than the wind? Did she close the door after opening it?

Equally, u don’t need to repeat wot ur links said! Tell me HOW did he wonder into the country? A German company in a British protectorate? Getting a contract in 1962? grin

Oga, Nigeria was no longer a protectorate by 1962, it was already independent of British Rule. That’s the answer to your question. Next!

My uncle that turn to wall gecko and excape from police cell after he was arrested for communal crisis that happened in my village.

The same man heal well known mad women and marry her for a year and six months before sending her back to her parents.


The same man inflicte my elder brother with incurable sickness when my dad refuse to give him the contract to the house he's building. The same man has the gods to my dad that he's responsible for my brother illness and tell him the reason why he did that
Did you see him as a wall gecko? How do you know the Mad Woman was healed? How are you sure he was telling your father the truth? Why didn’t he just use jazz to control your father? Or why didn’t he turn into a wall gecko to steal the contract papers and award it to himself?

When I worked as an NYSC official in Akwa Ibom state, a corper got drowned in a seasonal stream which claims a life every Easter period. The elders there told me they thought it would not happen that year but again as previous years, it claimed another life.

Is it only Easter , when there are likely to be a lot of visitors, that people have drowned in that River? Why do they not close the River in that season?

This your reason is one kind. There is no absolute certainty that the juju worshippers caused his death. He may have died from stress, due to over exerting Himself in loud and active praying.

Sorry, she didn't want her daughter to be a single mother.


Willing to marry her doesn't count @ all.



The mother sense that it will be miserable life for the girl to be lockdown in marriage that happened in a mistake or likely abandoned to become a single mother, which sounds like a threat according to your gender.





I don't understand @bolded .How is the child theirs? thought man is said to own a child cuz the woman is a stranger?.

He was ready to accept responsibility but you are blinded by your bias against a gender.

Meanwhile, If you don’t know that the Mother of the young lady aborted her own grandchild, then you need a dictionary.

They can peg all they want, they can never peg the laws of demand and supply. The scarcer the product, the higher the price. 20,000 bags, for a state of 20 million people and the highest consumers of rice? You do the math.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Released Hostage Says He Was Held By UNRWA Teacher In Gaza. by TheGift: 11:03am On Nov 30, 2023
Shoodboi:
Danielle Aloni, one of the hostages, wrote a letter to Hamas after her release, thanking them for the care they showed for her and her daughter. Below is a picture of her, her daughter, and the letter.

Lifshitz, another hostage, after her release said "Hamas treated us gently and met all our needs" during a media interview.

And yet, one person we don't know, who doesn't have a photo, claims he was held by a teacher while another said he was held by a doctor.

How did he know he was a teacher?
Did the teacher come there with a lesson note to teach him?

Let's keep the propaganda rolling. Yesterday, Israel shot and killed Palestinian two children in Jenin, in the West Bank. One was shot in the head. The other was shot several times in the body.

Similarly, Israel bombed Al-Shifa hospital this morning with artillery, breaking a man's leg at the knee. (Till today, they still haven't shown us the tunnels in Al-Shifa.)

In another video, Israeli soldiers had a Palestinian man kneel in their front while they opened fire on God-knows-who.

You all won't report that. Nairaland mods will never take those kinds of topics to the frontpage.

But once, it's one about Israel, they throw it quickly to the frontpage just to keep the propaganda going and justify the killing of children, pregnant women, and premature babies, and the bombing of schools and hospitals.

So you just sit down in your house , thousands of miles away and decide which of the hostages you will believe? Why can’t they both be saying the truth.

“Hamas was gentle with us” … after massacring over 1000 people in the most brutal way, is the funniest argument in support of Hamas that I have heard.

I really think we Africans should stay out of taking sides on this conflict because neither the Jews nor the Arabs give a hoot about black Africans , to them we are monkeys and slaves , yet we are here fighting each other over two brothers of the same Father (Abraham/Ibrahim) who are unable to resolve their differences.

GVTAsiwaju:
When I was with my wife I never cheated on her, loved her and she knows... I think the only issue was my unstable finance then and her parents ungodly attitude that really irritates me( I should have managed it better though).
We have seperated and her divorce case in court but I don't stop thinking about her against all odds.
I have dated NUMEROUS ladies while she left yet it doesn't help me forget, whereas, she never look back...

Divorced persons, how do you forget! I want to feel love again. I cannot marry or be with anyone if I don't love them, sex is truly overrated. Your suggestions pls.

Hmmmm… I have not had this experience before so I have no specific advice. But ultimately I know that our lives our ours to live and everything that comes to us in life is temporary. We need to let go , especially of things that are truly gone. If we don’t let go of something’s we will never discover even greater things in store for us. We live and we learn. Nobody has it all together. The most important thing is not your marital or social status but your internal status. Your sense of self , that is not driven by ego, shame or pride. But by equanimity and self acceptance. All things can actually work together for good.

Family / Re: I Love Her But At Almost 40 Years Old, I Cannot Ignore Her Fertility Issues. by TheGift: 2:50pm On Nov 28, 2023
beekind:
I am the 2nd born out of 2 children, my elder brother has been married for some time with no kids as a result I am super careful with issues relating to fertility.
I am in my late 30s and have been dating a 27 year old lady for 4 months now, the relationship moved so fast as she is a perfect match for me .
I have met her family and she has met mine, we are already planning marriage and have started counselling sessions in her church.

She complained of irregular periods so I told her to do a hormonal profile test and see a gynecologist, turns out she has got PCOS.

I have done my own fertility test and I am fine, I am at a cross road now, I cannot afford to struggle with child birth considering my age and also my only other sibling still also having issues with the wife also still trying to get pregnant after many years.

The only other option would have been to ask her to try for pregnancy before marriage but she is a virgin and wants to keep it that way till wedding, besides if I disvirgin her, how will I be able to walk away incase she doesn't get pregnant ?

I am at crossroads now, its not too late but walking away at this point will be very costly for me since we have already started plans towards the wedding and our families are already in touch.

My heart is heavy and I am confused, I need good advise as I cannot discuss this with anyone.



Are you marrying for love and companionship or are you marrying to have children? If it is for children then you really don’t need to be married to have children. Marriage is really about companionship , if you are not ready for that with her please stop wasting her time any further.
Properties / Re: Lady Damages Her Apartment After Landlord Refused To Refund Her Caution Fee by TheGift: 2:56pm On Nov 27, 2023
dominique:
She deserves to be arrested, is the caution fee worth the amount of damages she caused? How many months did she live there rent free? Tenants believe if they're given six months quit notice, they're free to live in the apartment rentfree till the duration elapses. How much did she stay without paying rent before finally moving out? The landlord must make sure she pays for every single damage caused, pay for the extra months she stayed then give her the caution fee. Insufferable people like these is why some of us are weary about building apartments for rent.

You have already concluded the matter without getting answers to your questions.

Are you saying that farm workers in Nigeria are better than their counterparts in Canada?

Secondly, Becoming a farmer in Nigeria comes with my risks and uncertainties.

It depends on what kind of farm worker you are talking about. But my point is many of us will travel half way across the world to do stuff we are ashamed of doing here. Meanwhile, if we could just put that shame aside. I know a graduate in Nigeria who started working as a cleaner in Nigeria, now he has a cleaning company that employs a lot of people. Because he was able to put shame aside and find dignity in his ow labour.

Sometimes when I think of our best brains , shipping out in their prime to go and do menial jobs in faraway lands , it reminds me of a second slavery. Only this time, we are the ones giving up and selling all that we have worked for to go and become slaves.

Note this does not apply to everyone. But many people are running away from without knowing what they are running to and why.

Comparing in a inflated currency will always make the naira equivalent seem cheaper, but school fees is free, and you have access to the US and other countries without applying for visa, that's a plus.
Yes school fees is free, but what if what they are teaching your kids in school does not make them free?

If you are like my friend in Canada, who doesn’t want his children to grow up on values he doesn’t not support , like gay marriage or gender fluidity , then you will still end up going to pay for a private “Christian” school.

That free education you are talking about, comes at a cost that is not money.

Have you now seen a typical women brain. If becoming a farmer in Canada can give me 10 times my salary as a banker in Nigeria, why won't I migrate?

Who is talking about stooping so low when money is involved.

That girl is a compound Id10t.

But you will be too ashamed to become a farmer in Nigeria, even though it will give you more money than being a banker?

And all this talk about making more money, When you earn your Canadian dollars, will you pay your bills in naira? Will you not still pay your taxes in Canada which has one of the highest tax rates in the world? You guys really need to think about this thing a little deeper.

Someone is giving you advice on how to post more concisely and clearly, for the sake of readers and all you can say is they should

Draslo:
This is not for me. My sister na church worker

My guy's sister is nothing you write home about. Their father has money, like 3 Rolls-Royce parked in the compound type of rich but the girl is very promiscuous. Many big boys on the island have had a fling because she must attend every raving bash. Her SM pages are full of filth in different countries. You'd easily call her online olosho sponsored by politicians. Her friends are worse cos they don't come from that kind of money. This girl is just 23 and already a red flag amongst guys. Even guys that have never seen her unclothedness will claim to have slept with her and people will believe as long as the guy has class.

My guy is getting married in January and doesn't want his only sister there. Can she still be saved?

How does one handle a promiscuous sister? You don’t handle her, that’s how. It’s her own life. Unfortunately, or fortunately, she is his sister and there is nothing he can do about that. As long as she is not coming to corrupt his wife or his children. Her life is her business.

He should treat her with love, that’s what brothers do. One day she will get tired, maybe then she will wake up.

Virginity is for a healthy relationship with God, not to guarantee anything in marriage. But people think it is just for pride in marriage.

Now, let me say the bitter truth. Any person who chooses to marry someone that is so committed to the hip-hop industry is not decent in thoughts and actions. So, I am not surprised by this guy's wife. Argue with your keyboard.

But virginity should not be underrated. It is not easy for an adult to keep virginity. A virgin with a bad character is better than a person who equally has a bad character and was deflowered before marriage. A well-mannered virgin is better than a well-mannered person that has been deflowered outside marriage. Please, I am not talking about those who lost their virginities through rape.

Oh please, I will take a well mannered deflowered Woman over a mannerless virgin any day. The present is more important than the past. And we all have a past.

We're so close we've all watched the same tv series and there must be more than 100 different ones not counting movies regardless of whether we're together or not. Not like we don't have our bad moments o but they never last past a couple of days

There's just three of us. I'm the first. I may have bad habits but with the way they look up to me, I just can't afford any bad blood, you feel me?

Mostly healthy.

Infact, me and all of my five siblings belong to a WhatsApp group where we discuss and collaborate on family related issues.

There is also a larger family WhatsApp group with my dad , all of his own five siblings (my three uncles and two aunties) and all of their children ( my siblings and cousins - plus our children who are old enough) We often banter and share stuff there and there is very little formality in the way we relate. My Grand-Father instilled some family values that are being passed down to generations.
