SportsRe: Kanu Nwankwo Celebrates His 43rd Birthday With Love Up Photo With Wife by tolajay: 10:52am On Aug 01, 2019
Oh! I get.

majamajic:
when Kanu played under 17 , he looked much like 30 yrs old wrinkles all over his forehead , now he said he is 43 , he is coming in line with 43 much like when he played under 17 , that's why I said this very pic is not bad for 43 yrs old,
SportsRe: Kanu Nwankwo Celebrates His 43rd Birthday With Love Up Photo With Wife by tolajay: 8:45am On Aug 01, 2019
You don’t think so?

For his financial status and social calibre, he should be looking younger and fresher at 43.

A friend of mine is just about the same age and he looks cleaner and fresher for the same age, though he has way lower financial independence than Kanu.


majamajic:
let's forget about football age

so that picture look older than 43 ?
SportsRe: Kanu Nwankwo Celebrates His 43rd Birthday With Love Up Photo With Wife by tolajay: 7:51am On Aug 01, 2019
Is this his football age or actual birth age?

He looks way older than this celebrated age.

You’re pained, it’s understandable.

You had expectations of loyalty, friendship and continuity that’s why you’re disappointed.

Well, you shouldn’t have such expectations of people.

Even when you do good, do it without expecting a reward from men.

Avoid petty and negative people. Face your husband, family and work. Relate to people on the basis they relate with you.

All the best.

jess2019:
I've been a guest here, just opened an account to get some other people's opinion.

I am married with children, my last child will be 9yrs in a few months and we live outside Nigeria. End of last year I found out I was pregnant. Since then I was having mixed emotional feeling about the pregnancy and starting the journey again after almost 9yrs. Everybody at my work place that knew I was pregnant all kept commenting how my life will change as if i don't already know, some asking what have I done to myself as I was almost done with childcare. Throughout my pregnancy I avoided meeting people and not wanting people talking about my pregnancy. My husband couldn't drive for one year and all my pregnancy I was the one joggling work, kids activities and doing Uber for the whole family, it was a challenging period for me and I questioned why the pregnancy came now my hubby could not even help me run errands . All I can say is that hormone also played its role. I couldn't tell my siblings I was pregnant though I ended up informing my mum and my sister two weeks before I had a baby.
We have some few Nigerian friends here. My husband has a friend and when they wanted to relocate here 18months ago we accommodated them until they rented a house, we are also new here, but came few months before them. So we introduced them to our church and all the Nigerian friends we already have. Though we moved house and stopped attending that church but our friend continued worshipping there.
So when I had my baby my husband sent out messages to everyone. Everyone texted back and some called back, some of the ladies saying they didn't know I was pregnant, some saying they knew all along but ONLY this our family friend and husband that never texted back or called. After a day, my husband call the husband and it rang but he didn't pick so we were thinking they went on vacation. So finally my hubby got the wife on the phone and informed her of the arrival of the baby, she claimed they both didn't see the text, and she stated she didn't know I was pregnant. My husband mentioned she should speak to me, she ignored and kept saying how she saw me at someone's party months ago and was asking me if I was pregnant but I said no, she never asked if I was feeling okay or the hospital we are. To be honest I never told her I wasn't pregnant, she was saying where people were at the party oh you've gained weight, I didn't know u were pregnant and I replied its xmas food, don't worry I will lose it with sarcasm and she said its a lie and we switched topic. It's been 3weeks now both the lady and husband have never congratulated us on the baby or called. It's not like this lady calls me, since February this year, she has never called me or texted me. I was the one that called her few weeks before my delivery and its not like she's more busier than me as she doesn't work at the moment; going through exams before she can start looking for work. So if she didn't even see me at the party in March I wonder what she will hold in saying she asked me if I was pregnant at the party.

This is what I think happened; she must have discussed me with another friend as only these two families are giving us attitude. Funny thing is that we introduced them both as their kids go to the same school. Because this lady is also giving me cold shoulder, since I gave birth it took her one week to call me although she replied my husband's baby delivery text. When she called she was saying I was wrong for not informing people that I was pregnant, that people knew I was pregnant all along. I told her I don't have to call people to inform them I was pregnant that if people come to my house they would have seen me with pregnancy or if our kids attended the same school they would have known. Besides, I was not feeling too excited about the pregnancy so I avoided every discussion relating to it. She mentioned she asked me if I was pregnant a while ago and I responded that pregnancy doesn't hide that she will know if i am, she continued saying since I'm married that it's not a shameful thing- I should have shared the news. I replied her that I cant determine how I feel during pregnancy. She ended with that they will come and visit baby. Though her husband called my husband immediately he got the text and till today they've not visited or followed up.

These two families are closest to us or should I say to my husband. Now my husband is very disappointed with these men (his friends), saying its very petty of them to join their wives in whatever is going on.

Going back to the first friend we accommodated, I still cant believe that people can have this mind after everything we did for them. we were the only people they knew when they were came here. We introduced them to our friends which they kept saying how grateful they were then. We are so hurt that they will go this extreme and just ghost on us. The man has been friends with my hubby since 2014, they both worked in the same place and when we moved here, the husband showed interest and my husband spoke to his manager and also got him a job here.
I only got to relate with the wife when they came here though we all moved from the same country but lived in different state and relationship was between our hubbies. What kind of friend will not talk to you if they feel you have wronged them? I dont see how my decision of not disclosing my pregnancy affected their lives. At least even if you are mad that will not stop you from calling another woman that went into labour and discussing whatever you are not happy with later.
It's not like we told some people and left them out. Other friends here are happy, some saying they knew all along. They've been visiting, bringing food, gifts and calling regularly. All our family members are happy including my mother in-law that got to know on the day baby was born which are even the people that have rights to be angry.
Thanks for reading through the long epistle. Sorry typing with one hand.

Hello,

I’ll be traveling to Ghana tomorrow but I figured I’ll need the yellow card.

How can I get the original one as soon as possible?

Is it possible getting one at the airport tomorrow?

Initially planned using CrossCountry (there would have been no need for that) but later opted to fly (hence I need the yellow card now).

Thanks

truthsayer009:
tolajay tolajay tolajay, how many times did I call you? 3 Times.

Don't go to Ikorodu, there are some violent-prone neighborhoods that are known for gang activities, cultism and sometimes militants invasion and killings. Places like Ishawo in Agric, Ebute, Igbogbo, Odogunyan & Ogijo and Ota-ona etc

Don't stay in outskirts of Lagos just because you want to safe money biko!

Two of the products were from the same store while the other were from different stores.

Yet, I feel it’s grossly terrible for them to be delivering one by one.

Have you heard of shipping collection or drop off centers? Why can’t they operate same? It’ll even save them more money and pitch them as organized and professional.

I buy things from China (online) from different stores, and it might interest you to know that I usually get my items in one piece here in Nigeria. If free shipping could do that, how about those who are paid to deliver?

Nigeria just has a way of celebrating mediocrity. We have a long way to trek in this country.

zamanii:
Wow, didn't know they take that long to deliver. Did you order the four items from the same seller? if they were from different sellers, they could not have been delivered at the same time. The part about adding up funds is highly unprofessional. We are in a real mess
FamilyRe: Your Advice: Where In Lagos Can One Start A Family Comfortably? by tolajay(op): 8:33am On May 06, 2019
Thanks for the thought.

That’s certainly a crucial point to consider, however, I work from home and seldom have to move around.

My commuting within LAGOS is often limited and strategic to avoid traffic and human clusters.

To this end, I feel I’m advantaged to stay in almost any part of the state, but with a conduciveness and social amenities, prime of which is power.


sisisioge:
Hmmm...the answer is any calm part of the area close to where you work. That way,

1. You won't be stressed commuting to work hence you won't stress out the family by transferring aggression.
2. You would get home early thus actually see them and share life with them.
3. You would be able to save money in transport fare thus transfer to other important things they could benefit from.


The benefit is endless. Where do you work papi? Hopefully, schools, market and madam's work are close to the place too.

Hello NL Family,

I intend to change my apartment and set-up an apartment for a new life and prepare for starting up a family.

I have a rent budget of N350,000 to N500,000 and I'm considering a fairly conducive apartment, peaceful and clean environment with average power supply and easy accessibility to different ends of Lagos.

Kindly share your advice on which location you think might be suited for this budget and request.

P.S: Power (light) is very important to my work and existence.

Thanks.
PhonesRe: I'm Shooked by tolajay: 11:52pm On May 05, 2019
Which Konga?

Had a terrible experience with them last month.

Ordered four items, paid upfront only for them to be delivering the goods one after the other almost after a week of purchase.

The shocking part was that one week after, they called me and said the other two products I ordered were not in stock and I should add up funds to buy some other ones which are more expensive than my initially paid fee.

I was disgusted by such an act of professionalism...I couldn't muster the energy to discuss with them, I simply asked them to refund my 60K.

What nonsense! Nigerian businesses (especially e-commerce) are nothing to write home about.

zamanii:
Exactly. While I don't blame them, after all it's business and profit must be made. The price difference is usually appalling. An item that costs 70,000 on Ali with shipping fees won't be less than a 100k on jumia. Jumia needs to curtail these greedy sellers or people will ditch their platform in the nearest future.

In fact, people would have by now if not that konga don't seem serious with business. Their deliveries are usually faster and their items cheaper
