FamilyRe: History Of A Name "omotoso" by topsy25(m): 8:21am On May 08, 2009
Hmmnn!!!

Though i've heard this name several times and even know people with the name; I had never thought of its meaning.

Its difficult to understand but let's try break the name and see if we can get the meaning.

omo means child,

I think tosho are two words joined together. In yoruba language, there's something called: Ipaoroje i.e. you can join two words together by removing one or two letters and instead use: ' e.g. pami ki n ku becomes pami'nku undecided

Therefore, "tosho" could mean "tohun a nso"

"tohun a nso" means its good to watch over.

From the above therefore, omotosho will mean: A child is good enough to watch over undecided wink

Clap for me nau grin grin grin grin grin grin

As for the history, I no no oooooooooo

FamilyRe: Why Do Women Stay In Abusive Relationships by topsy25(m): 12:11pm On Apr 30, 2009
Believe me honestly, no matter how terrible a husband is; a woman has been specially made to make a marriage work and even change the hubby if only she can be humble and submissive without being foolish.

No matter how weak women are perceived, they're always stronger than men. They are specially created to help the weak men or the weakness in men. Such weakness could be anything ranging from drunkenness, bitterness etc.

I've seen women who helped their hubby overcome the problem of drunkenness not by nagging but with wisdom and love for their husbands. Most of our girls today, are always in haste to live their man to another one whom they're not even sure of what he would turn out to be after few months into marriage, then from that one, they will move to another and so it goes.

I will be 31 next month and to tell you the truth i am just beginning to enjoy life and enjoying the things i missed out on, what i mean is that i never leaved a wayward life, always faithful and caring in all my relationships and a wife material.I am still that same person but i see life from a clearer view now being a single person at this age.

Thank God my mother is a very understanding person and has advised me to be patient and careful especially at my age, really i don't know why am still single at this age but i know God has a reason for everything, even though i have a lot of admirers, i just seem to always meet the wrong set up of guys, the few times i go into the depressed state is when the feeling comes to me that i need someone to genuinely love me for who i am and not my looks or my money or when i feel like truly talking to someone i feel strongly for and trust but altogether I'm a happy person but feel i can be more fulfilled.
Keep ur cool my sista and dont act desperate. Your man is just around the corner. Our good Lord does not sleep u know. You'll soon find a man that'll keep you happy and fulfilled.

For my sistas that are arrogant and proud, u better change ur way, else you may remain the way u are undecided

biina:
Irrespective of sex and/or age, it is better to be single, than to be married to the wrong person, but there are very few things in life that are better than being married to the right spouse (and being single is not one of them). What is the point of it all, if you have no one to share the moments with, the good, the bad and the ugly. Life is much fuller when you have someone to share it with.

Being single at 30 is neither something to be ashamed of, nor is it something to be proud of. It is just what it is - you are single at 30. Every single person should work towards finding the right person, and don't kid yourself that you don't need a partner in life (opposite sex or otherwise). Do not be like the fox in Aesop's fable, who upon failing to find a way to reach grapes hanging high up on a vine, retreated and said: "The grapes are sour anyway!". It is easy to despise what you have not gotten.

It is a shame how much pressure our society brings to bear on ladies when it comes to marriages. In a way I understand the position of the elderly, since in their time (because of arranged marriages, polygamy, and lesser role of women in society) being single above thirty was a rarity. For younger people, I have no excuse for their behavior. Single ladies should not be criticized for what most likely wasn't of their choosing.

A side issue is that if there are indeed more single ladies than men, would society not have to accept either 'single women' or polygamy.

Anyways if you are single at 30, don't foolishly rush into a marriage. You will regret it sooner, rather than later, if you marry the wrong person. Keep searching, and improving on what you have to offer to the type of partner you desire. Hopefully life will deal you the right card in the not too distant future.
Gbam!!! Sooooooooooo true cool

Maybe its not enough. She might be expecting her hubby to have built houses, cars and worth not. Women want to feel big not minding where the money come from undecided

Please don't get me wrong. Six years is quite long, notwithstanding, it is better for him to call off the relationship now than to go ahead and marry this lady and latter regret it.

Marriage is not a child's play. Please don't go into it if your spirit is not in agreement with your supposed woman.

Topsy, please we are not making nasty comments, someone married to sit idle for 13 days without income beats me hollow, where is your manly pride?

Get out there and break firewood, push trucks, ride okada, pound fufu in hotels or just any work to put food on the table, shove you certs into the bottom drawers till you can good vacancies in accountancy. Get down, get dirty but make sure you are not jobless.
I never read once in this tread where the woman claimed that the man is not making efforts to put bread on the table. Is it an oversight on my side?
FamilyRe: My Husband by topsy25(m): 2:20pm On Apr 27, 2009
Those of you that are making big mouth here, y not thank God for the oppurtunity He has given you and pray for this family rather than make useless comment here.

There are people with all the "paalis" out there without job. it's not becos they're lazy and handicaped but just because fate has not smiled on them. Notwithstanding, 13 yrs of joblessness is not the end of the world. It doesn't take God a day to change a person's fortune.

@poster,

Please don't leave your husband as a result of this. God has created you purposely to help him through this trying times. All you need to do is pray for him with all your heart and with love and sincerity and God will surely speak to your situations. I assure you that in no time, you'll come here to testify. You'll soon shed tears of joy.

And you have the nerves to tell us u need help u dont need help,
U can read what he wrote, he's in a state of confusion, he even claimed he loves her (which I doubt). The fact is, he's scared of hurting her!!! Notwithstanding, he needs to tell her his mind, so that she can go on with her life and find her own husband and you find your own wife cool
RomanceRe: . by topsy25(m): 1:06pm On Apr 27, 2009
@poster,

I quite understand your plight cos I was once in ur shoe.

I once had a girl. She was simply great! She was kind, lovely, humble, faithful, and above all she loved or should I say love me. We were together for about 2 years but at the end I realise I could not marry her. At first, I was confused as to the reason why I felt I could not marry her. Deep down in me, I knew if I married her, I would enjoy the married but she would'nt cos I knew I would not be faithful to her.

I tried to explain things to her but she would'nt take it. I also tried putting an end to the relationship but she would cry and beg. In fact, at one of this times, she was behaving funny and her parent had to call me to please loosen her if I had used anything to charm her.

She never stopped trying to make things work until I got married.

I think our ladies should understand that I guy date u does not mean he must end up marrying you. Sometimes, some things may warrant your not wanting to end a relationship in marriage. What about if you don't really love the lady (despite the fact that you cares for her)? What about if you're not meant to be? What about if it's best for both of u to seperate?

I could and can still do anything for this girl but I CANNOT marry her not that it will have any negative effect on me but because it'll affect her and our family as time goes on.

I know the good Lord will give her her own husband.

Ikomi:
Just one question for the three of you.

Why do you think a leader is called the head of State?

If you give an answer to that, then tell me how you hope the limbs should function properly when the head is sick?
Hi Ikomi

Looking at this issue from the perspective of HEAD of state will not be very objective. Without any gainsaying, our leaders are nothing to write home about; notwithstanding, that should not prevent one from loving his/her country.

This issue of "mental colonialism" is an individual thing. It is not the fault of the government if I prefer another country's culture to my own (which is in fact better and diversified).

What we need to do is develop an unconditional love for our country’s culture, value and home-made products. This will go a long way in encouraging technological and industrial development of this great nation.

Please note, that I personally believe that for a long time, this country has been without a leader. If we can survive without them all these years, I believe we can do more than survive: we can make this nation the pride of Africa. But we need to LOVE her before it can be done. (We and not them)
