Romance › Re: Why Do Women Call Men Big Head? by TheGift: 7:58pm On Jan 02, 2024
charzyh2:
Couple of ladies have called me big head and I know that my head is not big. Now I know I'm not the only guy being called big head.

I've searched online but can't seem to find straight answers to what it really means. Can anyone tell me what it really means?
So because a couple of Women called you “Big head” it means women always call men big head?

Well, I don’t remember any woman ever call me “big head” , so…not all women call all men “big head”.

Don’t be quick to generalize, it may just be something about you, the Women you are attracting and/or the environmental/cultural context where you guys. Are attracting each other.

This advice is for people that come from families that do not value family. But place money above everything. As long as the person is taking care of their responsibilities and not begging or stealing ,why should they be ashamedly comparing with anyone, talk less of their siblings.

Thank God I don’t come from that kind of family. Everyone plays their part for family responsibilities, no one is looking to anybody else to take care of their own family business. Even though we know we would all contribute to support anyone of us in need.

Food › Re: Cooking Soups With Only Groundnut Oil Instead Of Palm (red)oil by TheGift: 5:41pm On Dec 29, 2023
GenderMix:
Dear Family,

I have been having this back and forth debate with my wife regarding cooking soup with groundnut oil as against red oil but she is on the negative. I had cooked Egusi soup with groundnut oil and it taste really nice. I had also done same with okra sea food and its really nice. The reason why I want to do away with red oil is because I have been advised on my cholesterol level and the odour from palm (red) oil doesn't sit well with me these days.

I want to serve my visitors Egusi soup prepared with groundnut oil but she's declined because she's not sure how it will be received....lol

Does anyone have experiences with cooking soups with only groundnut oil and how does it taste. okra, bitterleaf, oha, vegetable, edikaikong, egusi, etc
Except you are a chef by profession , let your wife have a final say on such homely matters. Even if you are a good cook. Don’t let something ad random as culinary preference now become an issue
Politics › Re: Trending On Quora: "Why Are Nigerians Fleeing Nigeria" by TheGift: 5:38pm On Dec 29, 2023
Mostly based on fear of the future, a loss of faith in the governance system, wrong assumptions about the quality of life in other countries, pressures from friends and spouses (especially wives) ignorance about life on the other side,

lack of strategic thinking due to all of the above .

Note: I said “mostly “ not in all cases.

[quote author=Zonefree post=127636623]Must be skit.

No African mother will reject a successful son unless she's a witch.

The joy of every mother is to see her sons progress.

Oga. Speak for your own Mother (and Father).
Me I know my parents will reject any form
Of unexplained or suspicious wealth from their children.

The fact that her son can suddenly buy a car does not mean he is successful. Scammers, ritualists, armed robbers are buying cars everyday. That is not success.

So what exactly is wrong with telling someone not to rush into love? What exactly is your problem with finding love at 41 or whatever age?

Marriage is not a must, and it is not a race competition.

Family › Re: We Are Expecting A Baby But My Wife Wants Me To Buy Christmas Rice For Her Mom by TheGift: 11:31am On Dec 24, 2023
Valoromega:
My wife and I are expecting our first child, so currently I'm saving up money before the baby comes, we are also trying to get baby things of almost 400k.

But she wants me to buy Christmas rice for her mom. I've already decided that I'm not buying anything for anyone this December, including my own mom. But she wants me to buy for her mom which I refused becauze my baby is more important.
Mind you, she has elder ones who can't even get anything for their mom this December (she's the youngest). I just lied to her that I'm broke and I don't have any money. But I have close to 1.7 million which I want I to save for the baby and also get a car for when the baby comes.

I'm I making the right decision by ignoring everyone this December or should I take like 100k and just buy a bag of rice and share to the mom.

Personally I don't want to spend a dime on anyone because my child is the most important thing right now
Plan for your Baby, still the decent thing to do is send something to your mother in law and parents this season. Your wife doesn’t need to tell you. Instead of buying rice of 100k though, you can just give her 50k cash.

The biggest blessing you can give a person not living according to Gods ( not the church’ ) is to correct them . And if you will bless them publicly , then also correct and rebuke them publicly , in love . That is what the scripture says. And no Pope born of woman or anything else can change that truth.

No! There is a price that is to big to pay for peace, and that is the price of unequal rights and injustice. In the midst of these, there can never be peace.

Story.

Are there no black gays? Some of you talk f00lishly. Yes, the West is a saner clime, not because of how they behave but because of the strength of their law.

If this nonsense had happened in Nigeria, you would have jumped to his defence if he is APC.
Oh please, a country with over 620 mass shootings in 2023 alone and an infinite number of genders cannot be described as a sane clime.

PrinceOfLagos:
I'm a free spirited person and want to send something to my boss for Christmas. Is it appropriate to tell him to send me his account number let me send him something for Christmas even when I know he doesn't need it?
A lot may depend on your relationship with your Boss. But as a general rule, get them a gift that they would appreciate. But if you must give them money, do it in a classy way, that they can't refuse, e.g get their account from their PA or write a cheque and put it in a Seasons Greetings card, preferably in a hamper or accompanied with a bottle of their preferred wine.

Asking for an account number is condescending and rass.

Josephamstrong1:
I don’t really understand some schools this days. My baby girl cleared all her subjects with distinction, all As and she was given 3rd position. She has been sobbing uncontrollably since yesterday. cry Yes, she was promised Christmas gifts and present if she takes first position in class this term.
I think she deserves the 1st position. I want to go to the school on Monday and appeal for result recheck. It can’t be!
I am not taking this o! My baby deserves 1st position with this result. cry cry
How did you arrive at this conclusion? Have you examined the computation of all the results from Her class?

Better thank God she Is smart and stop putting her under that undue pressure of comparison and unhealthy competition. Your daughter is crying and you are supporting her tears, instead of encouraging her, celebrating her and getting her the gift she deserves. Na wa!

You obviously did not watch the interview talk less of reading the post.

Who said he didn’t remember the organization he worked for? He just didn’t remember the website. And for his age or generation at the time, it was excusable.

Meanwhile, Should I base my opinion on the interviewers feelings of shock?

And, Are you okay at all?
