CelebritiesRe: Stella Damasus’ Third Marriage Crashes by tsmith(f): 2:58pm On Dec 24, 2022
pepperdemzombie:
Her lifestyle caused his heart problems, he nursed it secretly because the family warned him seriously not to marry stella. It was after the death, they heard all what he was nursing. Their band had a show 2 weeks after, she didn't allow anyone to lead, she did. Jumping on stage as if nothing happened, the guy was not even yet buried.
The family challenged her but she took it tribal, she said they were criticizing her because she is Igbo. So, she quickly flaunted her new Igbo husband, that one beat the hell out of her so she was ashamed to announce the 2nd Igbo man, SDK did. Before Doris' husband. Unfortunately, her children are females.
Hmmh doctor and diagnonist, only you knew what caused another man's heatt attack.

Dude was as fat as f**k, obviously unhealthy with underlining health issues.

If your aunt was a citizen, how is it possible that her kids didn't automatically become citizens too?

Their papers didn't need to be "regularized"
Citizenship is dependent on several factors and not just automatically bestowed to children.

If ones citizenship is by naturalisation and not by birth, and you have a custodian sentence over 6 months citizenship can be revoked and followed by deportatuon. Custodian sentences don't have to be criminal, even driving offences can lead to a custodian offence.

She was my class mate, even though I'm not a fan of the Conservatives, I'm however super excited that very possibly one of our own could be head of the UK.

Just thinking if she had remained in Nigeria, could she ever have dreamt so? First as a woman, then as someone in her 40s? Knowing that we have 80yr olds in diapers trying to rule us.

Godada:
huh


In another thread, there was a letter presumably written by Ike to British Visa office collaborating the visa application of the alleged donor.

If the above is actually true then Ike has a strong case to extricate himself out of this legal entanglement.

This goes without saying that services of a competent legal counsel will be sought.

In all, I fear for the life of the little girl.

What I think happened here, is that the donor got wise after it became obvious that he has become useless to the requirement he was deemed to fulfill.

Having tasted the good life, he has decided to take matters into his hands to prolong his stay abroad.

However, we can keep our fingers closed and await matters unfold.

He will have his day in the court.
No he doesn't. There's still the element of paying for organ donation which os illegal in the UK. Ekerewhatever cannot beat the fact that money has been paid, or woild be paid for the kidney.

The law and advertising for an organ
It is not illegal to place an advert, for example online or in a newspaper, seeking a living organ donor providing there is no offer of a reward, payment or material advantage to the potential donor. Under the Human Tissue Act 2004 and the Human Tissue (Scotland) Act 2006, it is an offence to give or receive a reward for the supply of, or for an offer to supply, any organ or part organ. It is also an offence to seek to find a person willing to supply any organ or part organ for reward. A reward could be any money, gift or other benefits with a financial value which influences the decision to donate an organ. As such, any offer of a reward in exchange for an organ is an offence in the UK.

THE POINT HERE IS, EKWEREMADU IS NOT A BRITISH CITIZEN OR RESIDENT.

HE REQUESTED PERMISSION AND EXPLAINED HIS MISSION IN THE UK.

ALL THE STUFF YOU ARE LISTING ARE FOR BRITISH PEOPLE, NOT NIGERIANS.

IF BRITAIN DID NOT WANT, THEY COULD HAVE DENIED HIM ENTRY.

IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO EKWEREMADU DAUGHTER, THEIR WILL BE ENOUGH PROBLEM TO GO ROUND ON EVERYBODY DELAYING HIM.

E GO MUST TO REACH EVERYBODY.
I think you're the one misisng the point. The crime was commited in the UK, whether one isn't a resident or citizen does not mean one can commit a crime. The rule is you obey the law of the land and ignorance of the law is not a permissible excuse in court

Mickykarim:
IT WAS NOT AN ILLEGAL DEALINGS. THE ENTIRE EPISODE WAS DOCUMENTED IN THIS LETTER, HE SENT TO THE UK EMBASSY FOR THE BOY''S TRIP TO ENGLAND.

He stated in the letter that the boy was going to the UK as a DONOR in a heart transplant for his beleagued daughter. And, not any kind of organ HARVESTING either.

https://www.nairaland.com/7193631/parenthood-tears-desperation

I HAD EARLIER SUSPECTED THAT THE PERCEIVED "INNOCENT" BOY WAS PART OF A LARGER RING OF CONSPIRACY WITH AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE UNKNOWN TO THE Ekweremadus.

The conspiratorial nefarious group with the culpable boy must be investigated and with his co conspirators should be made to face the law.

WITH A GOOD DEFENSE TEAM. THE LETTER ABSOLVES HIM FROM THE ALLEGATION OF ORGAN HARVESTING AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND OR BOTH.
Mind you all organ donations in the UK must be voluntary. Sale or compensation isnt not allowed. It's actually a crime for money to exchange hands for organ spnation and even surrogacy. Only expenses will related to the procedure is permissible to be made.

Can the defendants proof that compensation hasn't been promised in exchange of the organ? Can they establish a relationship between the boy and Sonia? Are they bestfriends, favourite cousin/sibling etc that the boy wouls just wake up and voluntary give up his kidney? Or did they find the boy from a media cry for help/kidney?

Organ donation is a life altering decision and several genetic and mental evaluation takes place before a donor is certified as a match and the operation is carried out.

it's beyond claiming the boy is 21 years on paper (possibly to avoid extra checks on consent etc). The medical testing must have established this boy is genetically 15yrs and not 21 as claimed. Also from the mental evaluation with a psychologist, as the donor is an adult this would be have done in privacy without the Ekere whatever people. If the boy is truly 15, no matter the coaching, with the kind of questioning his true age must have come through from these sessions plus the fact that compensation has been promised. Even questions like why have you chosen to do this? How do you know sonia etc

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

HealthRe: What Is This On My Brother's Body? (Photos) by tsmith(f): 3:36pm On May 20, 2022
hugelyendowed:
This has been on my cousin's body since December last year. It scratches him. It's located on his ribs/stomach region.

Initially they felt it's traditional stuff but after series of treatments with herbal and traditional procedures, no show.

He had to go to hospital and Even did blood culture. Yet it still scratches him and has refused to go.

Please any reasonable contributions on how to cure this permanently will be appreciated. Thanks. He will be reading.

Note: The two Labs he did at a hospital and at a lab centre all show that he is HIV Negative. So that one is ruled out totally. He is not even promiscuous.

Allergy is another suspect. He doesn't even rub creams.
It maybe impetigo, my daugther had that as a baby. If it is, the' cause is staphylococcus entering a break in the body. A dose of specific antibiotics sorted her out. Ps. As a result of our dark skin and many diagnosis specific to white skin, it was initially hard to identify
RomanceRe: My Cheating Is About To End My Marriage by tsmith(f): 10:13am On May 13, 2022
Cassahav:
I am a fortysomething man in a long-term relationship – nearly 20 years – and have two children. For the past 10 years my partner has been having short-term lovers. These were clandestine, but more recently she has stopped hiding, called our relationship “open”, and currently has a lover who I do know about. But this “open relationship” can only be one-sided, because she is jealous and suspicious while I am basically not polyamorous. So why stay together? We get on, communicate well (other than the no-go zone of her other love life), rarely argue, are bonded by bringing up our children and are financially tied together.

However, the years of suppressing my emotions – of jealousy, rejection, insecurity, being lied to – have left me broken. Sex (which we still occasionally do have) has become stressed: if I don’t perform enthusiastically, it will justify her seeking other lovers. Also, I am expected to remain sexually attracted to her, which gets more difficult when I know she’s been with someone else recently. We had frank talks when she offered to end her extramarital affairs and be monogamous with me – or plan how we might separate without affecting our children. We were both very upset, as we are very much still in love, and wish the sex side of our relationship wasn’t such a terrible mess.

But it has occurred to me that I am emotionally and sexually broken after this past decade. If I was single again – or my partner was to become monogamous with me again – I don’t think I would be a viable person to be in a relationship with. How do I start to repair myself, inside or outside this relationship?

Any advice would be cool.
THERAPY. You've stated the fact before you can be vialable to your emotional self or someone else, you need to come to terms with all that's happened and be able to walk away from all a better person.

I've recently ended a 16yr relationship/marriage and I can identify with you on many terms.

Staying in a broken marriage without fixing the issues just lead to more broken souls. Not good for anyone; individually, as a couple or the kids. And truly there is more to life than living one below par. Be free
FamilyRe: My Wife Sold Her "Eggs " And Bought A Phone With It. by tsmith(f):
[quote author= post=112684849]This makes good sense.
But no wife should ever do that without the knowledge of her hubby.... which you also affirm.[/quote]I don't agree. No human should need another human'a permission on matters that would only influences self.

So it's established and clear that the sale of eggs is basically good use of what would have been waste.

Yes it would have been nice, honest and true to have hinted the partner, but it's not compulsory. I therefore disagree with your statement - no wife should ever do that without the knowledge of her hubby.

I am happy that there is communication in your marriage, and as you said the both of you agreed to certain terms and conditions concerning her going to the market. I do have questions for you, do you have children, if yes who takes care of them when she goes to the market in Saturday? You have made a demand as the head of the family which she is to abide by despite her initial reaction towards it. If it is possible for you to visit that market of hers without her knowing so as to find out what exactly is going on there that is really making her go back every Saturday.
There is a communication, then dictatorship. Theirs sounds like a one sided conversation, the head of zoo dictates and the animals are just expected to say yes Sir yes Sir. No arguments, no alternative suggestions and no compromise.

I know some people will curse, call you simp, call you all sort of names, i dont care but i just hope the sensible married people with experience will drop their own
opinion and knowledge of this kind of ish. So the issue of food has been creating issues with myself and my wife, she takes her hustle more as a priority than taking care
of us in the house. Some people would think by saying that, she's probably the bread winner, not at all, as it should, i provide at least 82% of the family needs.
Sometimes 3 weeks ago after getting into a heated argument about quickly leaving the house to tejuosho market without making food, we sat down and agreed to some terms
which will avoid issues, she said she will only go to the market on monday and wednesdays only. Everything was smooth until the following saturday i had gone out to pick up vet to come
tend to my dog, she called and said she wants to quickly go to the market, that what is it that i want to eat so she could make it down b4 she dashes out, first off i wasnt happy, because i thought i wanted her all to me
the weekend, but now shes dashing out to the market when saturday isnt part of the day we planned. I told her to wait for me that I will drive her down, she waited even though she complained bitterly as if she was missing
an appointment, but its just clothing material she wanted to buy, i got back home drove her there and brought her back.

Fastforward again to the next weekend, i had driven out, she called me and as were talking, I asked where she was, she said she was driving to her shop to pick up something and head back home, i said no p,40mins later when I got home
didnt see her, I called her and lo and behold she was in the market, I was like what happened to the agreement we had, she said well if she told me she was going i probably would not allow her bla bla bla. She came home and I sat her down
that in order to maintain peace in a home, communcation is key, yes we communicated and had an agreement, but peace wont be maintained when one party isnt fulfilling his or her own part of the agreement, I told her that i want peace, so therefore I ban her from the saturday
market, she can pick any dat during the work days to replace the saturday outing, she change am, shout, raged and said all sorts of things, i nor kukuma answer her, went out that got back later laying on the bed sad and agonized, i was now
dumbfounded that what could be this important and serious about this saturday market thing, am lost and cant figure it out, ladies and guy whats ur thought on this?
Let me get this straight, you want to commandeer a grown adult's in and out?

Yet you go in and out as you wish?

You sat 'her down' and agreed her permitted outgoings?

Of course she simply agreed to fuel your already entitled and commanding ego.

It's obvious as well that you're not able to handle the truth or someone else's view that's contrary to yours, so she's playing you as your game. As soon as the cat is out, the mouse too goes out to play.

It's a marriage not a zoo, okay! Limit the zoo antics to your dog.
EducationRe: Should I Sell My Late Mother's House With Her Grave To Fund My Masters In UK? by tsmith(f): 8:31am On Apr 27, 2022
Kelechi20007:
I recently got admission in a university in uk for my Masters. The challenge I have is that I can't fund it. The only way to to do so is by selling my mom house.

I'm her only child and another difficult challenge is that she was buried in the yard of the house 5 years ago.

I don't have a good job, I have been teaching in a private for a long time, I need a better future for myself, I'm seeing a chance here for a better life by furthering my education in uk.

It's a difficult decision for me selling the house with her grave in it. Please guys put yourself in my shoes, what will you do in this kind of situation?
Can her grave site be partitioned out of the property with access? That was my suggestion to my dad when he stated interest of being buried on his property, suggested a slight relocation of his intended resting place so that in the future should there be need to sell the property, we can partition his grave site out of the property and create new access from the main street.

I wouldn't bother with any ceremony either, just unnecessary sentiments. Get a buyer, agree the separation, with some of the upfront payment complete the sectioninv or worse case relocation of the remains to a more accessible part of the grounds.

Looks like you have no string ties to Nigeria and UK seems to offer you better and more opportunities, go for it.

FamilyRe: My Wife Is Pregnant Again And Our Kids Are Only 1 And 2 by tsmith(f):
JonOfAustrlia:
My wife got pregnant again even with an IUD. We werent planning for it. As these babies are so small and require so much care already.

Its not like raising them in the village. We live abroad and we dont get help. It means we always have to be with them if not for daycare but then we are working. We are already so tired.


I dont know if I am venting or asking for advice. We are grateful but we are so tired already... what to do...?
I totally feel you with 2 soon becoming 3 kids young age kids abroad. Had 2 kids under 20months and know the hell 8t can be �, but there comes a time when it'd be worth it.

How many kids did you guys plan to have? If more than 2 then keep the pregnancy.

If just 2 or you desperately need some respite then abort the baby. It's legal, safe etc

If you keep it, then you'd need to realise you can't eat your cake and still keep it. Somethings would need to give. One of you (the one with lower income) may need to resign and look after the kids full time until they're all in school. The one working should recognise that the earning isn't one persons, but for both and the family. Never undermine the non working parent's contributions, and the working parent should still seek to help out at home. You guys would need all hands on deck for this ship to sail fine.

In the very near future when the kids are lil grown, it'd all start to make economic and social sense ie. passing clothes, books etc down, share similar interests and all in same school etc. You both would have some respite (Unless you're unlucky like me when younger one is as big as elder brother, so no cloth savings there :-) �)

Ultimately, you'd be glad you saw through the stress. Good thing too is as the kids grow, both parents can then get to prioritise themselves again, get their bodies, careers, romance etc back.
FamilyRe: Help My Husband Seems To Be Addicted To Prostitutes! by tsmith(f):
ChiomaCa:
Hello everyone, I'm in need of an advice, I got married to a man 5yrs+ ago. He relocated some months after marriage to Canada, I went to meet him 2 years after. And we had a baby 10months after my arrival. Immediately I arrived his place, I noticed he flirt alot onlline, Sex chats, Video sex chats, Visit porn sites, visit Prostitue Sites, and the rest. I caught him red-handed twice and he begged and pleaded not to do such again. I forgive him and I believe maybe because of the distance we had in two years.

We move on and I promise myself not to even go near his Laptop or mobile phone anymore.

I adhered to that for more than a year, which I'm still doing that till December 23 of 2021.

My daughter threw his I-watch inside water. Then I picked it up to drain for some minutes, after I drianed, I realised a message popped up , which Read " Do you enjoy me yesterday Do I book you for tomorrow again"

I was forced to check what's this. I saw hell. In short, he visited two different Prostitues in a hotel to book 30 minutes session with them for $160 and $220, I also saw other messages asking for Anal sex from these Escorts. I realised, he visited them 3rd, 1st 22nd of December. During these period, I was the one begging him for sex. He said he's not interested that he's Fixed with many activities and Shifts at work.

I was in the house hopping my husband as gone to work, not knowing he's doing something else within his short break and free time.

Immediately I saw this, I was devastated,I was mad at my self. We are very religious. Why all these for God sake, this is the 3rd time, what have I done to myself, have made a wrong choice?

I called his brother back in Nigeria and I inform and sent all what I saw to him, he called and talked to him, the next day, my husband came to me, apologize and promised not to do that again. I accept and forgive him.

Few days ago, I have been having this kind of feeling, I feel like I'm not beutiful because why will my husband prefer a Prostitue than me.

I hate myself, I think about it every minutes, whenever I see him, my mind keep breathing fast. I'm sad and I'm not happy, I don't know what to do.

I can't discuss with my parents, because they see my husband as the most religious person.

He doesn't talk much, keep friends nor drink.

I need advice dear mummy and daddy please is this a red light?
You're forgiving too easily, insist that the only way forward is of he gets treatment for this issue.

Obviously the time apart helped to breed this, however it's something he should have stopped since you arrived.

I highly recommend therapy for both of you as a couple and also individually.

As a couple you should be seeking to find and fix what's missing in the relationship that's making him go out. Understand that this process might involve exploring uncharted waters for you, i.w. Anal sex, role playing and generally spicing things up in the bedroom. The worst thing you can do or say, is believing some stuffs are out of bound, nothing is until you've tried, tested and confirmed as a No no This is the time to park aside the whole we're religious pretense. Also no crime with you being Sister Mary Magdalene Chioma by day, and sexy Chinzy in the house/bedeoom.

For him obviously he needs to come to face with his unhealthy addictions and the reason why he needs to pay for sex he's been offered so freely at home.

For you, you also need help with your self worth and not needing or seeking validation from others (ie. statements such as I feel ugly etc) are dead giveaways.

only thing is he needs ito be willing to engage with the process before it can be beneficial to both of you. And he sure afford therapy with the price he's paying prostitutes �
Christianity EtcRe: An Armed Robbery Experience I Had Moments After A Holy Ghost Church Service by tsmith(f):
jesusjnr2020:
An Armed Robbery Experience I Had Moments After A Holy Ghost Church Service

It happened moments after i just returned from a church program, sometime in late 2003. It was most likely carried out by cultists, since it took place in a university campus hostel.

There were six of us (all guys) inside the room. Four of us, choir members, yet in high spirits having just returned from a Holy Ghost power-packed, Spirit-filled service on campus at about 10pm.

We were still trying to absorb everything that had transpired during the powerful service, while also getting set for bed, when out of nowhere, there came in the three guys with gun(s) and machete(s) into the room and one of them switched off the light, while using touch light to be flashing light on our faces carrying out the robbery.

But it was a strange kind of robbery, because after they were through, they had robbed every one inside the room, except me.

And it wasn't as though it was a mistake or that they had forgotten to do so or were in a hurry, it seemed deliberate, because after asking everyone of us to lie down, they had stood us up one by one to rob us, from the first person to the fifth person.

But when it got to my turn, being the sixth and final person, after the guy came to me, and flashed the touch on my face, since it was dark, instead of telling me to stand up and go to show him my things as he had done to the other five persons before me, he just stood up and started walking sheepishly back to where his guys were to my amazement. It was as though he had seen something strange or an angel.

Moreover while yet lying down, i overheard him being asked by one of his guys, who I suppose was their leader, "what of that guy"? His response though was not loud, so I couldn't hear what he said was his reason for doing that, but it seemed to suffice to his fellow guys, as it wasn't long afterwards they left the room.

Probably even more puzzling, was the fact that my black traveling bag, was just about the first thing anyone else would spot in the place the robbers had taken most of the things from, such as, cash, a mobile phone, a perfume jar, a pair of shoes etc., which was the wardrobe.

And inside the side pocket of that bag which was the foremost and most exposed part of that bag, there was some considerable amount of cash. Therefore had they just stumbled on it and decided to open it just one of the times they went there with one of the other five persons to show them their stuff, they would have also robbed me of some cash, because that was the closest money or thing in the wardrobe for them to have made away with.

But for some reason they left all the cash intact and no single thing in my bag was missing, while the other things more difficult to access in that wardrobe were being made away with, apart from my other things without my bag there which they also didn't touch.

So this was not just about me not being stood up by them, because they could have also easily robbed me even without needing me to do that.

As I said earlier, four of us there of the six were all choir members of the same church, and we had just returned from a church service together. And while three of us were guests who came from other parts of the country for the annual church program held within the campus premises, the other one was a student of that school who happened to be our host.

But despite that, when the robbery took place, I was the only one of the four who was separated and treated differently from the rest by the armed robbers.

It was really shocking to say the least, but it wasn't completely surprising to me because it was obvious to me why that was.

Despite that we were all Christians, and some active church members, as those my fellow choir members, i was the only one among them that was really saved and truly of God among them, so that was what was separated me from the rest when it mattered.

God bless.
You have a case of acute delirium laced with delusion of grandeur.

You made several inferences to being a Christian, the state and stage of each Christian and deluded on why despite being spirit filled and coming from such events a robbery still happened.

Go read your bible well and you'd see no where did god promise a smooth ride on earth as a result of serving him. Its an annoying expectation of most Christians in Nigeria and a very selfish and most entitled one too. See the real worshippers of God in the bible and how they were tested with adversities.; Lazarus, job, abraham name it.

Also your issues n views are influenced by a disfunctional brazen society where robbers can easliy walk in to rob and the victims are left to count their blessings on how worse off it could have been.

It's really interesting watching this stew cook; dysfunctional Nigeria, it's citizens and their thinking. A real SMFH

I'm a young hard work guy who's planning to settle down someday. I have a girlfriend whom I have gone to see her family with my own family , as in, we have done our introduction, what was remaining was for us to fix a date for our wedding.

But this girl started showing some nasty attitude. There was a day she came to spend weekend with me and I gave her some money to buy some food stuffs to cook, that day i received the greatest shocke of my life , my fiancee warmed me never to send her message like that again that she is not my slave.

As if that was not enough. Another day she came to spend some days with me but when she got to my house I was not at home that day. She went to the bathroom to get some shower but unfortunately there was no water running in the bathroom because we didn't had light for 2days so we couldn't pump water. Normally when there's no water like that we usually fetch from the next compound. Though I live in a room and parlour self contain with water running in my kitchen and bathroom.

To cut the long story short, my fiancee refused to fetch water for herself to take her shower. She had to call me on phone to come home and fetch water for her to take her shower. When I eventually got home at late hour, I took the bucket went to fetch water for her to bath just for peace to rain. I later asked her why she had to call me to come and fetch water for her to bath knowing fully well that I was not around. She said in her house, she does not fetch water that her dad usually call Aboki's and buy water from them. She told me that she can't leave a suffering life of having to fetch water, she can never do it.

Please nairalander is this a good sign or bad sign to watch out for?
Let's be clear is your definition of wife material how much suffer head one can endure? Because that's what it looks like.

It's a different matter if your question was I'm seeing someone but we're not economally and socially aligned, should we take the plunge? Because that's the obvious case here

But you're judging her marriagability with the ability to turn money into food for you, and to go begging for and fetching water next door.

Nigeria make marriage and suffer head look like 5&6, it's not by force biko
PetsRe: Help! I Am About To Give Up On This Puppy by tsmith(f): 3:24am On Dec 25, 2021
TheLoanGuy:
So on Saturday, my dad called me that someone gave him a GSD mixed breed puppy (local dog mom & GSD dad). The owner said it is 9 weeks old.

I love the puppy, in fact first thing I did when I got to my parent's place was to take it to the vet, for shots and deworming.

I slept over at their place and took it home with me yesterday. I do not have a cage, so it slept in the room with me, before I woke up it has messed up the whole room and it's poop is watery (I am not sure if that's how it's supposed to be or if it's because it was dewormed on Saturday, because I notice worms anytime it poops up until this morning).

The rest of the day, it kept pooping all over the place, it does this almost immediately after it finish eating.

I have been feeding it boiled egg since I'm Saturday, but it stopped accepting today, I made custard and milk for it, it didn't accept it, luckily I had chicken at home, I fed it with chicken and it ate it.

I work from home, but looking after it slowed down my work today and I was so stressed.

Part of the issues I have is:

1. How do I get it to poop on a spot or something? Or do I get cage for it, keep it there and let it poop there while I clean it later in the day? I am already thinking of making a cage for it and keeping it in my balcony.

2. Is the poop supposed to be watery? Is it a sign of diarrhea? Should I get something a drug for it?

3. I want to get dog food for it tomorrow (vet recommended pedigree puppy). What else can I feed it? Please I need recommendations.



Please I need your help abeg dog experts. Before I return it back to my dad.

See the cute baby below
Search Google on toilet training a puppy. 9weeks is the right age for training dogs on almost everything.

10 mins After every meal, take the dog to the spot where you want it to toilet. Wait there for as long as it takes 10-30mins. Have a cue word ie toilet. Repeat it often and praise n give him a treat every time he goes. Similarly take him out 1st thing in the morning and last thing at night. Dogs have a natural innate sense to toilet in same spot and not to soil their living environment. You'd be surprised how quickly he'd catch on.

Kobojunkiee:
Dude, this your conversation with your wife sounded more like an interrogation session to me. If say na me be her, I for turn my phone off from the time you started querying my decision to go get water across the street. For real, interrogations of that kind, and from a so-called love one... I no dey do at all. undecided

Something was not right about what exactly that you literally took to interrogating your wife's every move when it wasn't as if your kids were abandoned or something? The maid was with them so... Was she meant to report her every movement to you or something? undecided

Leaving the kids at the mercy of the maid? Are you for real? If you can't leave your kids with your maid, what do you have a maid for? undecided
I'm totally with you.

It irks me, when other appropriate for other people not themselves.

In the Ops mindset the wife has no other right to tender to her business but hecan tender to his.

The kids are on admission in a hospital for a purpose to be looked after in rhe hospital by the hospital. The nigerian idea that someone must be on guard 24/7 in a hospital baffles me. Life goes on, bills have to be paid, self has ro be tendered to. And Ops wife juat like him and any other person has a life to live

The Op comes across very controlling, inquisitive and already ladened with suspicion, the wife has obviously cunningly learnt to deal with him and tell him what he needs to hear, and there in begins the cat and mouse marriage games.
CareerRe: Career Advice Needed. Remain In Dubai Or Accept An Employment Offer In Berlin? by tsmith(f):
impactValue:
Greetings, good people of Nairaland

Please I need a piece of honest advice from experienced nairalanders, I am a Software Engineer, I got an offer from a very close friend (He is like a brother to me) of mine that resides in Dubai to come and manage a club he co-owns to enable him time for other activities. I will need to learn how nightclubs operate since I have little or zero knowledge about the nightlife. I have the freedom to pick up side gigs (or remote work) when I can and He is not in any way restricting me but he needs me to learn the business with him.

The plan, in a simple language, when I learn the business well enough he will pull out and open his own so I can be his manager since he doesn't want recognition.

He paid for my flight ticket and was the one that processed the visa for me (tourism) and he is currently working on how my visa can be extended and my work permit too.

Before I came to Dubai, I applied for this opening with a tech firm in Berlin. I completed the last stage here in Dubai and have been sent the offer but I will have to relocate to Germany because the work is on-site, the company bare expenses regards flight ticket, travel insurance, visa process et al. The start salary is 56K euros per annum (gross).

Also, I resigned from a bank as a development specialist (full-time staff not yet confirmed though, was earning 450K naira net with other benefits) prior to my trip to Dubai. I was doing well in Nigeria because I earned a total of up to 800K (with all my works combined) just that the work ethic (the bank work) is toxic to me because you will work your brain out debugging code, plus I am looking at a good place that I can start a family when I am ready and Nigeria is a no for me unless I have enough money to send my kid abroad to study.

What do I do now that I am already in Dubai? I am passionate about tech and I love the echo system. Please any input from experienced fellows will go a long way for me.

Thanks in advance. Mod please help so I can get as much input as possible
In addition to points already raised, i.e. Following your heart/strength (engineering), the devil you know (engineering) being better than the Saint you don't (entertainment) etc I'd also like to add that the UAE doesn't have a path to citizenship etc. You'd work, earn and even live well, but can never be a citizen or passport holder you'd remain a stranger who can be sent packing at the twinkling of an eye.

Germany on the other hand has paths to citizenship which opens you and your future family to the world, giving you more options and that quality of life.

Similarly, Social welfare benefits provided for citizens are not extended to migrants. Free medical care, free education from primary school to university level and low-cost housing are only provided to citizens. It's very easy to go from grace to grass in the UAE

UAE Migration laws suck

A man was sentenced to three life sentences plus 76 years in prison after being convicted of raping, molesting and sodomizing a 13-year-old girl in Douglas County, authorities said.

>> Read more trending news

Adedoja Olaniyi Bah was sentenced to spend the rest of his life behind bars Wednesday, the Douglas County District Attorney's Office said in a news release. He was convicted on 12 counts in late October after a six-day jury trial.

On July 15, 2017, Bah chased the victim into some woods near the Reserve at Sweetwater Apartments where she lived before punching her, throwing her to the ground and holding her down, the release said. He then raped and sodomized her.

During the attack, Bah threatened to kill her if she resisted, the release said.

The victim frantically ran to a family friend’s apartment for help after the attack, while Bah calmly walked to his vehicle and drove away, the release said.

Bah was arrested the following month by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, AJC.com previously reported. He was visiting the United States at the time of the incident, officials said. He is from Nigeria and last lived in Japan.

Investigators were able to find surveillance footage that showed Bah chase the victim into the woods, and two types of DNA evidence helped tie Bah to the crime, the release said. The victim also testified during the trial.

The jury returned the guilty verdict after less than an hour of deliberation.

Bah was convicted of rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, false imprisonment, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, battery, two counts of child molestation and two counts of aggravated child molestation.

He received the maximum sentence allowed by law, which Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Samantha J. Newnan requested. She cited the “severity of the attack, the age of the victim, and (Bah’s) complete lack of remorse” as the reasons for the strict sentencing.

Before he was sentenced, Bah asked the court for mercy in the case, requesting to be allowed to return to Nigeria, the release said. That request was denied.

Not surprised at all. The way some people still argue in support of sexual harassment and abuse beggar's belief.

What was she wearing? There was no force? Why did she go in his car, house, room etc?

Until the mind and orientation changes, people antics will land them in trouble in lands where law prevails.

My wife is fond of kissing my 6months boy in the mouth. I personally don't like this and I have told her to stop it but she refused.

This issue in causing a serious argument in my home and I want to take a serious action since she has refused to stop it.

Please I need advice from experienced parents.

I was abused sexual as a child by a cousin staying with us and there are cases of incest around me. I don't want any of this to happen to my son.

The teenage girl staying with us always sees my wife kissing my son in the mouth and I am afraid she my copy it and start doing it.

Please am I wrong? Am I over reacting? Is it a normal practice? Please advise me.
You've got some childhood trauma that's marred your thinking. This is your cross to bear and deal with, not on others to feel the brunt.

Also, whilst you're sorting out your childhood trauma issues with a qualified therapist (highly recommended) also sort out your control, misogynistic and entitled (me, me, me) issues.

Your narrative includes some very worrying use of language

My baby - it's equally her baby, even more her's than yours

Told my wife: you don't tell a grown ass adult how to act

Need to take serious actions - oga principal wetin you wan do, beat her? Send her packing?? Or perhaps take the child awayhuh

You've got plenty issues dude, get them sorted

PoliticsRe: Does Ogun State Have The Worst Roads In The South West? by tsmith(f): 11:12am On Sep 03, 2021
AnonPoet:
It has been more than 2 years of the Dapo Abiodun Government and it seems this government is hell bent on taking the state back to using bush paths. Yes, the roads in Ogun state are that bad. Sometimes you drive in a state that is supposed to be the gateway state and all you see is just nightmares. It gets worse for communities on the Lagos/Ogun border. Going from Ogun to Lagos, you can tell where Ogun state ends and Lagos begins based on the condition of the roads. It is that bad?

Even the roads in the capital city Abeokuta isn't any different from the joke Ogun state roads has become it is almost as though the Dapo Abiodun Government has decided to punish everyone for crimes no one knows who committed. The roads in Ogun East where is from are reportedly not this bad though. Maybe something else is at play

How else does one explain this?

Even roads which were started by the previous admin have either been abandoned or not completed after years, and mechanic have been having a field day fixing broken down vehicles. Please we need a overhaul of the roads in Ogun state.
i want to believe so. Each time i visit my parents in Abeokuta, it's like the roads are going back in time, right now those roads are Before Christ (BC). And to imagine this is supposed to be GRA ooh, around the poly for that matter. Appalling is an understatement

EventsRe: Has Anyone Here Hired Wedding Guests In Nigeria? by tsmith(f): 10:36pm On Jun 23, 2021
Blixon:
Is it possible to hire guests for a wedding in Nigeria? I’m just curious. So please don’t attack me.
I have always dreamed of having a wedding that I would be proud of. AKA posh wedding. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of friends or know many big people and the few people I even know at all are not really posh looking (this is not an insult); what I mean is, you know, these broke guys kind of friends that you have to pay their transport back when they even manage to visit you.

So I have this question: is it possible to hire posh grooms men and a couple of posh guests (including white men and women and money sprayers to act as friends) to pose at a wedding in Nigeria?
I have read it is possible in the USA or other countries. Has anyone come across this in Nigeria?
If you can afford to rent people you might just as well put same money towards dressing up and transporting your less able family and friends. Just warn them before hand that their upmost behaviour is expected as the party otherwise...
