"I told him to"
"I want him to"
"I warned him not to"
"I advised him to"
"He wouldn't listen to me" and all the other stuffs.

It appears to me that you are foisting your opinion, choices and wishes on your partner. You want him to live his life your way, pursue his dreams following your chart and run his race with you as guide. Perhaps you want to be the Kapellmeister while you lead the orchestra that is his life.

If he were to follow your advise and it backfires or doesnt yield the expected fruit, who would take responsibility? There is something some of us do not acknowledge which is that not everyone wants to be wealthy, some people just want to be successful at what they do, some people just want to lead a simple and fulfilled life.

I also find your intentions questionable. Do you have all those "nice thoughts" for him because you love and wish him well, or because you want him wealthy enough to marry you next year and give you "the life"? Its a shame that you say you're not proud of someone ou claim to love and painting him as some loser.

There comes a time in the life of a man when he wants to do things his own way, steer his own ship, make his own mistakes and celebrate his own little victories.

I would have asked you to talk to him, but I believe you guys have talked about this over and over. So, the choice is yours to walk or stay

Ignorance can be harmless, but when it's in conjunction with stupidity, then you have a hopeless situation.

If you knew all about business ownership and the Real estate business, how come you've been dropping mucus that Mercy can't own a real estate business?

Audio pipu

First of all, a CEO is one who has maximum managerial and decision making responsibility in a company; a CEO may also be the business owner. Hopefully we have established that Mercy is actually CEO of LamboHomes. Interestingly, the owner of an (real estate) agency may also be the CEO of such agency.

There are different aspects of the Real estate business which includes real estate loan servicing, real estate investment, property development or real estate agency.
Anyone who owns a business focused on buying, developing, renting out or selling of properties such as land, homes, buildings and apartments for commercial or personal use is definitely a real estate business owner...CEO.

I sincerely hope you're joking. Khafi is a constable; as in the lowest ranking police officer in the UK.
The annual salary for that position is around £30k which converts to around N14m. From this salary, She still has to pay taxes of about 20% (£6k, N2.8m) which leaves her with £24k (N11M).

Assuming that Khafi does not eat, does not pay utility bills nor even houserent for a whole year, Please tell me the Ikoyi duplex she can buy with N11m.

Perhaps you're referring to a 1bedroom duplex somewhere in Burutu Kingdom.

What is your definition of familiar surroundings? Like the first poster indicated, people grow up in different parts of the country from which they were born. So what would be familiar to such a person?

You would notice that i put the said phrase in quote. By "familiar surroundings" i meant people with whom you share same cultural background. You must also have read were I wrote "unless you're truly a cosmopolitan citizen".
Hopefully, you will reread my post with the intent to understand and not to criticise

Romance › Re: Are Tribal Differences A Major Issue In Marriage? by Tripitaka: 2:50pm On May 12, 2020*

Oh well. People can find love and fulfilment anywhere; in the arms of someone from a different race, ethnicity, religion or even political leaning.

That said, I personally advise people to marry within their ethnic group, unless you're truly a cosmopolitan citizen. This doesnt make me intolerant or culturally unaware, but I wholly trust that intending couples will be well served when in "familiar surroundings".

Culture as we know it cuts across a host of sociocultural boundaries. It isn't just about food, clothing and language. Culture isn't what we learn in school; we start inhaling it the moment we are born.

Culture in a marital context dictates how your spouse treats you and how they may react in the face of marital crisis; in fact it impacts on the method of crisis management that may be deployed and the extent f parental interference.

So you would take her back if you were in their shoes?

You are not afraid of greater harm the op or her real mother can cause?

Please let the aunt rest, going back may send her to an early grave. Moreover if she was doing fine, she won't regard or remember her aunt.

Let the op get a life.

I most likely wouldn't. But we do not know how forgiving her adoptive parents can be which is why I suggested the apologies. Even if they take her back, I do not think they will forget what she has done. It will take some supreme miracle for their relationship to get back to normal.

Family › Re: I Made The Worst Mistake Of My Life by Tripitaka: 8:38am On Apr 28, 2020*

I do not think you're a good person. Yes. Because as against popular opinion, I do not think that all is fair in love and war. For you to call your adoptive mother barren (knowing that this will hurt the inner recesses of her soul) and even go as far as slapping her points to an innate vileness and despicability. People reveal their true selves and most honest opinion in times of heightened emotions or during extremely heated quarells.

You knew what you were doing and telling us you were 17 does not absolve you of the unavoidable consequences of your actions. These people gave you life, gave you shelter, gave you a new life compass; things your biological mother could not do because her priorities laid elsewhere. You left your adoptive mom at 17 but only started feeling regret at 20, Why? Because over the past 3yrs you found out that the grass wasn't greener on the other side after all. Perhaps you've been trying to have a "New start" with your mom but it has been effort in futility. Had you realised your biological mother is now a brand new person, would you feel regret at your hitherto repulsive behaviour? Certainly not.

What do I think you should do? Go back "home", kneel at the feet of your adoptive parents' and make sure to cry enough tears, spek to them in the language they will understand. I hope you have lost enough weight too as this will strengthen your argument. Tell them you thought you knew what you were doing (even though you did), but have realised that all that glitters isn't gold.

That saI'd, never forget the road that leads you home. Family is not necessarily those connected to you by blood, but anyone who will stick with you when the chips are down and who genuinely cares for you.

Have you dated a girl who is a product of incest?
Have you dated a girl whose brother raped the mother for ritual purposes?
Have you dated a girl who grew up to find out that her actual dad is the family driver, but the pregnancy was passed on to the "willing dad"?
Have you dated a girl whose own father has been sexually abusing?
Have you dated a girl whose mother's nude pictures are all over the internet because she was caught shoplifting?

I believe your answer would be "No", as you would have included these in your narrative.

The families in your narrative can hardly be classed as "troubled" as I would like to think that your experiences are the peculiarities of your average Nigerian family. The average Nigerian family where diabolism and fetishism is real; where cohabitation is in vogue because the government outlaws abortion and your parents would insist on you living with the man who impregnated you even if he has no interest in marrying you; where young widows are still oppressed by their late husband's relatives; where poverty and unemployment is the norm hence a 40yr old unemployed man is nothing out of the ordinary.

The women you have been with are not from troubled families, at least in my opinion. They are simply from Nigerian families.

Family › Re: Marriage Is Not For Small Boys!!! by Tripitaka: 11:40am On Apr 15, 2020*

Neither is it for small girls, No? Marriage just like any other venture or endeavor requires a lot of conscious work, honest communication, sacrifice, wisdom, empathy, compromise and most of all unity of purpose and commitment.

It's like an empty box where what you take out or intend to take out must be commensurate with what you have put in. You do not sow spinach and expect to harvest broccoli. Even at this, one must be reasonable with their expectations knowing fully well that their are many attendant and probably mitigating circumstances.

But before any of these, it is expected that you marry for the right reasons (not necessarily for love) and from a proper functional family and not for negative motivations such as peer pressure or fear of loneliness.

When you make that decision, you must dedicate every waking day to making your spouse happy, that way you can build a marital bond of respect, trust, and intimacy. The grass is greenest when you water it.

Hey guys

How do an introvert survive this nysc camp of a thing, cus I graduated last year and I’ll be joining the next batch. All through my university life, I stayed off camp and I lived alone, the thought of staying with so many people makes me feel terrified, like I can’t just survive there, I might just run home after few days, and I have been telling people around me that I’ll soon be leaving for camp, any alternative?

Hi,

You'll be fine. When you get to that bridge, you'll certainly cross it. I have no doubt in my mind that you won't run home after few days.

If you do not like where you are at the moment, please ensure that you grab the social oppprtunity that the service year will offer you especially at your PPA. That teaching experience will unravel your personality. Trust me.

Remember, you'll be fine.

I was certainly introverted growing up. But I have consciously steered away from that path. Not because I thought I had a problem, but because I solemnly believed I needed to develop people-skills. Now, I'm more of an ambivert, probably 60% introvert and 40% extrovert and I'm very fine with that.

I still thank goodness for my service year years ago, as that was when it all changed for me and that experience is one I'll keep forever.

I still exhibit common traits of introverts by default, but I can consciously decide to be the opposite when it suits me or the situation warrants. I do public speaking without breaking a sweat, I can speak with strangers forever if I find them interesting or on a certain wavelength and I like a little bit of fun though I can be easily drained and overwhelmed.

One problem I have is people's perception of me. People think I'm arrogant especially older people as I'm not the type to form familiarity or offer unnecessary greetings. I can walk past you in the alley without uttering a word if im convinced your attention is elsewhere. I'm also not the type to offer the usual theatrical greeting of "good morning mummy" with a wide fake smile. My mates think I'm too formal, but it's just that I like to keep it simple.

You keep writing about comprehension. At what point do you start taking your own advice?

All the correspondence I quoted were in relation to data subscription; you know this. How come you're talking about a hitherto post about necklace? It's really painful conversing with you.

Even when Jayson accepted your offer, he stated clearly that it was "data". He never accepted the necklace offer, but took the data offer.

Now read my screenshots carefully. The first was your post at 11:50pm where you made the offer.

At 11:54pm, you reiterated your post to gbegiri when he reacted with scepticism to your initial offer. This is contained in the second screenshot.

Six minutes after your offer to Jayson, at 11:56pm he took you up on your offer while reacting to your post to Gbegiri. At 11:59pm , he reinstated his willingness to accept your offer. Suffice to say that all through these correspondence, there was no T&C.
This is for the third screenshot.

At 12:08am the next day, as is seen in the last screenshot, you started alluding to a T&C that isn't in existence anywhere.

Now if you want to prove me wrong, please post a screenshot of your initial offer and a screenshot of the point at which you introduced T&C all with timestamps.

Mind you this exchange was in relation to "data subscription". I wonder why you're quoting me with some necklace nonsense.

I added my T&C from the onset.

When people lose arguments, they become rude to deflect attention.

Attached is your offer. There was no caveat of him performing any additional task before you buy the data. You only introduced the caveat in your subsequent posts after he took you up on your offer.

Mind you, you said you will buy his data for the rest of the year. Which translates to providing all the data he may need till the end of the year, even if it amounts to a million naira. So?
