I think this kind of question does not apply to Nigerians but an oyibi can relate to this.

There is no magic or juju inside this. We need to open our eyes more to realise that you do not have to fear the so called juju. Let me ask, when such things happen abroad say you get swindled in Rome, do they use the same kind of juju that we use? Someone who knows exactly how they make your money reduce after pocketing it should tell us, educate us abeg, so that we become enlightened. Forget this juju story. 
@OP They must be doing something physical to take or steal your money. Just that you don't know the trick they used. If you knew, you would watch out for it.

How many of our mother's today have breast implants
Women! We love to put unnecessary pressure on ourselves. So if your breasts fall after giving birth, your husband will run away. Ok o!

I think it is also total crap that men are more visual than women. C. R. A. P.

#Pay me ma Money.. [/b][/quote]Copy cat.

Yes. My househelp eats at the table with my family. In fact I have converted this househelp to my first child. She helps me around the house and I take her as my own child. She is a blessing to my family. Woe betide anyone that would hurt or maltreat her. I will show that person pepper.

Such heels are not for me. I value my comfort abeg.

The first time I read debrief's story, I was filled with nothing but respect for her. I still duff my cap for you debrief. You are one of a kind. Thank God for making you the way you are.

OYINBOGOJU: The developed countries of the world never had holiday like Nigeria.

Our system bring corruption and laziness.

Are you jealous?

This is NIGERIA a "developing" country.

Good for you!

222Martins: Blogging is not an end itself, it's a means to an end. Blogging is not a business model itself, it's a supportive pillar to a business model. If you blog to make money, you definitely will make nothing. But if you blog to share valuable knowledge with others, the money will follow without much effort on your part. Today, i run the biggest business blog in Nigeria, but it was not so when i started. It took me three years to get to that stage.

What's your blog address?

@ OP
Now that the women (and men) have spoken up, what do you think? Are their claims that you are indeed stubborn true?
No comments from you since.

@OP
Why not prepare it the way he wants it? Afterall he asked you to buy the cat fish and goat meat.
Let's say it was your father that asked you, will you not do it the way he asked you to? ? ?
You have to be prepared to be on the giving end of a relationship especially in marriage.

Thank you very much for this post. Just the other day someone called me an idiotee (here) because I asked to stop criticising Nigeria and do something tangible in your own personal way to help each other and the country. But the guy in question lives in Niga, so it's not just those abroad. 

What I will say is that the criticisms and constant comparing of Nigeria and countries like UK and USA is what has brought so much negativity among us. But we are nothing like those countries because our paths and history are different. We need to understand ourselves and find a way out of our problems. The bitterness and bickering does not help anybody or anything and can never move us forward. 

I think we should stop focusing on who and what is victimising us and have a mind set of "What Can I Do To Better The Situation."

We have to do the changing ourselves. No saviour is coming o. We have to get up and act to save this nation.

Chegunn: I pay my tax, and i criticize our useless government. It is not until i start employing pple or bankrolling campaigns that i become a patriotic citizen. If u are as enlightened as u want to portray yourself on here then you should know that my tax is meant for infrastructural development, security among other things but sadly it is being stolen by d c-in-c and his fellow goons and yet you are still here asking me what I've done for d country abi.
Was it not only yesterday dat d self revealing daftluck said Nigeria is second only to d us in fighting corruption, a nation where one of d richest men in d world, Maddoff was sentenced to 150years imprisonment for running a ponzi scheme and another has been given 140 years. How many people have been prosecuted by this useless administration? yet u come on here and spew out of your reservoir of unintelligence asking us of our contributions as citizen.
They did not tell u in pri school dat a leader is supposed to direct, head in d direction he wants d pple to go, that a leader is supposed to assume responsibilities abi.
Our president eats with 3m per day, was involved in a fraud, his wife was involved in a fraud of $15m,his administration paid out over #2 trillion on subsidy etc and to you it's still d critics abi

Oga, there is no need for personal insult here o. You dont know me neither do I know you. I also have my own issues as a citizen of Nigeria.

Everyone  in this country everyday is a victim of the injustice in this country. But we cannot always dwell on the bad and always be negative. It doesn't in anyway help you or even encourage others who are in a different frame of mind. There is always hope after all don't we usually say: once there's life there is hope. 

So when we see any good being done, why not admit it. We need to learn to encourage each other and not always criticise and fight (which is a norm here on nairaland). 

I will celebrate this birthday in mind that things will indeed be better in Nigeria.

To all the critics on here, what have you done in your own little way to make Nigeria a better place?
We fail to forget that the change has to come from us. No saviour is going to come and deliver us. We have to work hard and work together to make this country great. In your own little way, do good and do not be sucked in by the bad and evil influences around you. This is our country, our home, OURS and no one else's. Quit bickering and criticising and start believing and working hard.

I believe in Nigeria, I believe in my country that we will one day have peace, fairness and comfort in this country. Amen!

carlomaa: i think the problem now is the increase in stressful living condition.the economy was much better years back so it made it easier to deal with marital problems(at least u know the problem u are dealing with is just that of your marriage).in these days of poor economy, there's a lot of frustration everywhere,marital problems will only compound it.so people try to reduce the stress in their life(and that might be marriage).myopinionthough

^^^Yep, I think this is a MAJOR reason. We have too much pressure and expectations in these times...

^^^
Thank you very for saying this. I hear every lady say that they forget the pains after delivery. I did not! I went through 24 hrs of labour and at the end ended up having a c-section ( which I never dreamed or planned or even read about). After the whole experience, I wish I had just gone for one option: delivery after the hrs of labour or c-section from the start.
Yes, our women in Nigeria believe c-section is a bad thing. I dont think so. In my case, it saved me and my child. Will I go for it again? Yes.
My very dear friend was pregnant with her 3rd child. She carried her child till 40 weeks went into labour, after dilating fully and pushing, the child was not forth coming. She eventually went into shock, passed out and the poor child died in her womb. This is bc the cord was wrapped around the baby so the baby could not move. Tell me is this not a sure case of emergency c-section? The most painful part is that they eventually had to cut her open to bring the baby out. So abeg, know which is right for you. I still thank God that she lives after the ordeal else it would be a whole different story.

It is a life changing experience that no one can take away from you.

Here is an experience I have never forgotten.
When I was 7 years old, my father returned from the village with plenty "udala". I was given my own share and when I finished it, I wanted more. So I went to the fridge to take another one and my elder sister discouraged me threatening to report me. I did not take the udala but stayed in the kitchen for a while to drink some water. When I came out my sister believed that indeed I had taken the udala and licked it before coming out. She went straight to our dad who canned me very well. Although I have forgiven, but such an experience hurt a lot. Nobody believed me when I said I did not take it. And nobody said sorry.
My dad gave me a good cuddle when I was crying though .

Anyway, yes, I think parents should apologise in such situations. You are also teaching the child how to admit their wrong doing without being afraid. You are also teaching them how to be considerate and to forgive. This way, they will learn not to hold grudges (which is a heart eater).

@ndidibabe

How is this working out for you? Did you complete your training? Have you been able to secure an IT position?
Would like to learn from your experience. Cheers!

godello: Saw this turtle close to shoprite plaza yesterday as some hausa guy where showcasing it to passerby and requesting its purchase. And pouring it water to calm its temperature due to intense sunlight.

True, saw it too.

wonlasewonimi: MS Access shouldn't be used as the back end if you deal with sensitive information be it small annd large organisation. I heard a bank was using it. Don't know how far it's true.

Your response will be greatly appreciated peeps.

A year ago, a nairalander asked the question "Is Computer Forensics Recognised in Nigeria?" in the thread below..
https://www.nairaland.com/779577/computer-forensics-nigeria-it-recognized

I will like to ask this question again. How much progress has Nigeria made in this sector of IT? The Evidence Act of 2011 added the admissibility of electronic evidence into the Nigerian Law. Has this been used? Is there a career prospect in this field of Computer Forensics in Nigeria?
I am very much interested in this area and will like to know if it is viable.

Also has anyone attended the CFIN or DCFA training in Abuja or Lagos recently? I will like to know what it was like.

It would be nice to have this topic on the front page please moderator.
Thanks!

debrief08: Congrats to the 8 year old. She is an outstanding student, Her Mama teach am well well, all those "Madams" coming on Nairaland seeking 10- 12 year old househelps, we can see una handiwork, Una do well ehnn.
They will be here sickly defending their love for enslaving other children and training their spoilt kids to be terrorist, I am nsure it is not the first time the 8 year old is ordering the maid to kneel down. Sick

True!

Sometimes I don't understand why we have to be running around going for pastor's vision where Jesus has given you the same direct access as He gave the pastors. Approach God yourself, get rid of your sins, straighten out your life and ask Him with FAITH, He will answer you.

After reading this thread, I had tears in my eyes while I went to find your IVF thread, and all I can say is, lady, you are strong.

You know what you need to do, do not be afraid. You need to apply the strength and resilience you had while going through your IVF in this situation. You need to have that faith in God just like before, that you are going to be fine, even though it may seem cloudy right now, sunshine is on its way. You need to get closer to God, rest all your issues, I mean all of them, at His feet. Ask Him for the strength to go through this and to heal you. Listen to God too. Do as He commands when He speaks to you. Remember His plans for us are perfect (even when we might not agree).

You also have to forgive your husband for what he did, this is the only way you can move on. By forgiving him, you are setting yourself free. I always read this saying by TD Jakes when I am down: "When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible says that they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. (John 2:19)..... It does not mean they are bad, it just means that their part of the story in your life is over.......Let Them Go!!!!"

You have to let it go! That's why you need God to deal with this, He will give you His peace.
