Ayofaks:
Divorce is not a death sentence Oga, marriage is not a do or die something. How many years are we spending on this earth that one will spend the little time in sadness and perpetual gloom? God forbid!!!
It's not Disney Land either.

Will God even ask for marriage certificate when we all die? The way some people directly/indirectly encourage women to stay in unhappy marriages is mind boggling.
Who has asked her to stay in an unhappy marriage? You will see what you want to see.

Is her marriage troubled? -- Yes

Is it fixable? -- Yes

Should she try to fix it? -- It's worth giving a shot.

So what is your problemhuh

Anyone who suggests anything other than divorce is wrong. Is that sensible to you?

Family › Re: My Life: How Do I Get Rich Now? by ThothHermes: 10:05pm On Jul 05, 2019
Finelinks:
"When I grow up, I would be rich and would build houses and give to the poor "

This was one of my musings growing up. Now in my very late twenties, the dream looks utopian, quixotic and unrealisable. For I have no house of my own let alone one to give to the poor free or rent free.


Life can be uncertain.
The vulcaniser in his fifties, on the street, could have aimed to be wealthy but it never came to pass.

The 40 year old truck pusher could have struggled to be rich but it was never to be.


Life, some say, is best lived in the early 20s. For after then one might start shouldering responsibilities. This is worse if the family is not wealthy. And if one doesn't earn well, one might find oneself in a rat race, a vicious cycle wherein one lives from paycheck to paycheck-- with little or nothing to save and being stuck.


These days I am always downcast, thinking about my life, unsure of what the future holds. Indecisive. Uncertain about which option or decision to take. Many times , I have thought of migration from the East to Lagos, Abuja or even Canada.

[i]"Pray to God for direction, they counsel.'
[/i]I have prayed yet nothing.
Does God really care?.
Are our affairs his concerns?
Is there anything like predestination or determinism?
Are some people designed or destined to be poor?
What does the bible mean when it acknowledges ---- both in the old and new testaments-- that the poor would always be there?

But wait, could some be termed rich if there are no poor?
How could be one be said to be tall if there are no short people?

I am confused, very.

How do I get rich and help people too?

How?

Really tired, I am.
Apart from those born wealthy, the vast majority of rich people people begin to acquire enormous wealth from their fourties upwards.
People who do it in their twenties are outliers that's why they are so few. The rest are criminals tongue

You have not started. Your problem now is what you see on the internet.

And stop that crap about helping people, you don't have to be rich to do that grin

Fountainofyouth:
You see this your words, would you repeat it if it was the wife cheating without remorse and the husband remains dutiful and caring?
By our respective natures, a man would not tolerate a woman that is cheating brazenly if he is faithful and dutiful.

I have tried to imagine it and it's not just possible in my head. It will take the most enraged feminist to dream up something so implausible. grin

It's not society. It's nature. You want to advice divorce? Go ahead.
Wetin concern me? As if divorce is one El Dorado like that.
This is a fixable problem. If you don't want to try to fix it., wahala tiyin niyen grin

If you’d type the same trash when it’s the wife acting that way. Then you have a leg to stand on. Otherwise take your hypocritical self away.

Talking about bursting an artery, it’s amusing to see you nincompoops bending over backwards and twisting yourselves into unbelievable shapes to find more ways to tell women to accept abuse as a normal thing.
Bla bla bla...

You goofed. Admit it.

The guy already said the OP did nothing wrong, meaning all the blame is on the man.
Don't know what you are whinging about. angry
You are just bitter that he did not suggest divorce. I know you and yours get high from breaking homes.
It's part of being feminist.

"Bitter feminist" -- Tautology grin

@ watch this movies war room and why did I get married. You need to be strong to work things out. It's a woman that builds a home. You need to put your home in order.

Look for someone your husband respect like pastor or an elderly uncle or friend. Explain things to them. Remember to remain calm.

Ask yourself, are you tired of the marriage?(I supposed the answer is no)
Do u want your marriage back?(yes)

If the answer is yes, then it's time to work things out. take charge. I believe the exam period is on, after the exam please Strategies.

Try and be focused now. Do things that make u happy. You have sacrificed to build your marriage, and no one can tear your family apart. Pick points from those movies.

Everyone is trying to make their marriage work. It's not easy anywhere. Don't be DECEIVED. Some of us , have gone through worse.look for that inner strength, you are strong and brave. Build courage up.

Keep your job. When responding to your hubby be calm and don't respond harshly. Maybe being mute may help or silent treatment for now. He will get scared because he doesn't know what you are up to.

Remember to dialogue when the atmosphere is calm.communicate and know the reason for his actions. Please and please DONT BEG. you didn't do anything wrong. Once you start begging, you will keep begging. Search yourself, you know yourself. Whatever you are not doing right be get it right.

[b][/b] it's not late yet. Good luck
Great.

I was thinking along those lines but I had to refrain from commenting as the professional home-wreckers had already invaded the thread.

My suggestion would have been for her to keep being the good wife, doing all she would do if her husband were the perfect husband at the same time entreating the Most High with faith that her marriage will be fine.
This is what will happen: the man will come to his senses after a while and the magnitude of his "douchebagness" will dawn on him.
He will realize how gravely he has wronged his wife and kids and will spend the rest of his life trying to make it up to them.

Crazy but it is what it is. grin grin

Is the husband at fault here?

Yes or No.

So much disgusting BS
Oh shut it.
He has said the OP did not do anything wrong. Did you skip that part of his post?
I'm sure it was an oversight. grin
The thing is that once someone does not suggest destruction of the marriage like you all are wont to you begin to foam at the mouth.
Reconciliation, resolution, restoration is sacrilegious to you.

At this rate, you'd burst an artery soon . angry

The amount of energy and time invested by the youths into following up the BBN stuff is crazy, if only the youths could channel that zeal into something productive, the country will be better in no distant time
A celebrity is a famous person. You don't have to do anything reasonable. Just achieve fame/infamy.

No need for the insult.

I typed in a haste and if that means first class graduates don't make mistakes, sadly I do and I learn from it when corrected.

Please my dear, don't be depressed. The fact still remains our Educational institutions in Nigeria are corrupt and money driven. It is worst in private and all state universities and polytechnics compared to federal universities where its minimal or non existence. I graduated from UNN, I know what am saying.

Please always attend a federal university. Also, my family friend that attended FUTO was intentional failed and delayed for 4 years after his mates have graduated. Group of lectures ganged up on him, saying he was chasing their girlfriend.

Word of advice, pay the Lecturer so your course can be passed, if you resit it, they will fail you again, secondly, never attend a state university, this scenerio is minimal in federal universities. YOU ALL READING THIS HAVE BEING WARNED.

Thirdly, try getting a university degree directly, all this ND/HND crap aren't worth it, you spend more years in school compared to a degree holder only to get an ordinary, unappreciated HND.

Most importantly, when sad, depressed, confused, afraid, uncertain of the future, run to God in PRAYERS, supplications, praise, worship and maditate on his words and believe all is well, knowing your heavenly Father is with you, walking with you through life's trials and tribulations.

You are not alone my dear. Remain blessed because you are already blessed. Don't forget the plan of God for you is for you to prosper and be of good health, and the devil will contest that, try to make you depressed so he can destroy, kill or divert your Destiny.

Stand your ground because he that is in you, is greater than he that is in the world. You are more than a conqueror. Raise, take up your battle Axe, and fight for what you believe in. The Lord doesn't make mighty men, he creates them through there truimph over life battles. More grace beloved. #Hugs
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

The same thing I advised him. These things rarely happen in first generation federal universities.

Stop complaining, you should have paid the 15k. Even ACCA the world's largest Accounting body will charge you 25k for your script to be remarked. It is not even like they will remark it, they will just do a recount.
Stop doing strong head for everything, this is Nigeria. I will go out on a limb to tell you that you should have paid the initial 7k. Yes I said it. If you cannot cope, get out of Nigeria. The deficiency is endemic, only you cannot beat it.
Stubbornness is for 20 minutes, CGP is for ever.
Pick up yourself with the lessons learnt and try to balance your portfolio with professional certifications.
See another one advising him to bribe his way through school. Oh God!

Nigerians deserve the country they have.
You are part of the problem when you condone it.

Quick question, if you have lost interest in school what do you intend doing then?

Best advice is for you to brace up, finish what you have started, study the books back to back and sort as others do.
Main thing is that you get what you want.

Am a first class graduate who know my onions in what I studied but the truth is the grade did not come through brains alone, I created interpersonal relationship with my lecturers and sorted the strong heads. Sometimes I even sort to get a B because that is the highest grade the lecturer can give to the students; of course very few of us.

If you can give ceaser what belongs to ceaser and behave like the Romans while in Rome, be sure to be successful anywhere you are.

Could have said more but no time.

Just keep studying but blend in with the system to get what you want.
Sharap. A first class graduate that does not know the difference between "am" and "I'm". You sorted to get a first class. This country na wa.

The responses on this thread are disheartening.

No one is showing any form of outrage at the fact that this guy has been dealt with unjustly. He was made to fail because he would not pay bribe in school. I cringe at having to type this.
Some are saying "failure is the not the end" bla bla bla. Nigerians have accepted the situation of things in their country.
OP if you are this capable academically why did you attend a polytechnic?

This is what you should do: Register for the next JAMB exam. Pick a first generation federal university and study like no tomorrow.

Get the admission and start afresh. You are still young so age should not be a problem.

In four years you'd be out with a good grade. Potentially a first class.
Forget the m0rons on this thread telling you "school na scam"
The vast majority of them cannot even write proper sentences.
You can also start a social media campaign against that criminal lecturer. After you must have been in your choice university that is.
