DSoj:Will overreacted for sure. But let's not pretend like it's OK to joke about people's medical issues. No, that's not what comedians do. Chris also messed up. |
SEGLIZ:Wow... but what does the West have to do with Zee World? Isn't this anti-West sentiment becoming an obsession on NL? Maybe we should just stop reading their textbooks and say no to western education like boko-haram? Y'all take every opportunity to take a jab at the West even when it's not really logical. And what won't you blame women for on this platform? You watched American (Western) movies as a kid and you probably still watch them now. But women and kids watching Indian (Asian) movies is making them believe that stupidity is life? How? Bollywood has been there long before Nollywood and many Nigerians (men, women and kids) watched their classics. How does the fact that these particular kids reacted to the emotional scenes this way automatically make it bad? Is it today people started crying cause of some touching scenes in some movies? Don't yall have African movies that have made adults cry? Isn't that the goal of a good tragedy? I really don't know why is it hard for Africans not to use thier own preferences and/or personalities as a standard of judgement. It's OK if you don't like Bollywood. It's OK if you can never cry cause of a movie. But you have to deal with the fact there are people who do. It's perfectly normal and it has always been like that. In Nigeria, depression has given a lot of people high/low blood pressure. People committing suicide every now and then. People create threads everyday here crying out for help. And then there are the likes of you that believe depression is a western thing. Funny but it must be really hard living over there. |
Tonymegabush1:It's a TV channel, not a show. There is really nothing to understand. People like what they like. They don't need any explanation. |
Lol... funny how everyone is blaming Nigerians. Makes you wonder who the Nigerians are. Lol |
Kelvin3476:What is sexism? |
It's kinda funny how the commenters conveniently assumed the gender of the subject. It goes to show that a lot of the comments we read on here are just a matter of convenience. ![]() |
Courageous |
This bit is true. But we all know it ain't just about the staff. ![]() |
Northernblood5:If there's anything the war has revealed, it is the fact that the Russian militarily is not what we all thought it was. And this makes them dangerous cause they have nuclear weapons. Putin would rather end the world than go down alone. He's like a mad man with a gun holding the world hostage. He must be approached carefully. It's a pity a lot Nigerians are supporting this madness out of anti-West sentiments. |
From day one, we all knew the invasion wasn't because Russia felt threatened by NATO. In fact, NATO had not yet fully accepted to admit Ukraine when Russia invaded the country. The fact that they mischievously called it peace keeping instead of mentioning NATO membership is enough to let y'all know he was up to something. If he had mentioned NATO membership as the reason, it would have been an open and close case. Ukraine would stay away from NATO and Russia wouldn't have reasons to continue the aggression. Now, Ukraine have come out to say they're not joining NATO anymore but here we are. Maybe we should go and carve out the Yoruba speaking part of Benin Republic or the Housa speaking part of Niger since everyone wants to return to the prehistoric period. Everyone here supporting Russia is simply blinded by thier hate for the West. Otherwise, they'd have no justification for Russia going back to carve out two more regions from an independent country after carving out one in 2014. |
That was obviously sarcasm. |
This is what I've been waiting to hear. This is an opportunity for Nigeria. It's unfortunate the country wasn't prepared prior to now, they're still pleading for basic infrastructure when EU is in need immediate solution, but it's not too late start. |
FanOfMyself:Lol... I don't even know where to start. Sorry bro, I'm not a lady. Hopefully, you get to find a female programmer some day. Hehe... this was so funny. ![]() |
FanOfMyself:Of course I want to know why! ![]() |
OP, you definitely meant to type "faze". The truth is, such sanctions take a while to take effect and Putin knows Ukraine would likely give in before then. And then you have the oil stuff. |
TheWolfen:Point missed. I wouldn't have quoted you if you had just mentioned good character, so let's not make it the bone of contention. I never doubted the importance of good character. Everyone should have good character. It's not just a tool to keep men. Women also want men with good character. What you said was that she should drop her feministic behavior at the door and I'm saying she doesn't need to drop her sense of right as is expected of women in Africa cause in the US where she is, a woman's sense of equality doesn't stop anyone from getting married. The leading cause of divorce in the US is infidelity. This is probably the same in Africa. This comes from both men and women (men more), but you'd not see anyone advising men to come into marriage with good character. We are more interested in telling women to drop thier idea of equality at the door. And when you're asked to define what good character is, it'll be all about submitting to the will of the man. Maybe If we also tell men to drop this idea of gender superiority or this sense of I-can-do-whatever at the door, things will be balanced out and the divorce rate would reduce. Just saying. |
TheWolfen:OP is in the US where what you call feministic behavior is nothing but the acknowledgment of equality for all humans. So she doesn't need think less of herself to get married if she really wants to. |
sioglobal:Why not wait till you see the outcome of the Ukrainian witches' plan before calling out their Nigerian counterparts for not doing the same? |
I understand the awkwardness of having sex knowing your mum can hear everything. Eww...! It's easy for you to say "this is my home! Let your mother go if she doesn't like it". But if you think of it deeply, you'd realize it's not really a solution but a recipe for disaster. The only message you'd be sending is "it's all about what I want and not what we want. I'm not empathetic to your situation". You might have your way after that but such subtle messages stick forever. Sex is beautiful when the two parties want it. It's not something you command. You'll have to convince your wife or find a way around the situation. It's easy for us to tell you "go and be a man!" But the truth is, we don't really care if the roof falls on your head afterwards. We'd forget about you once we leave this thread. So do what is best for your family, rub minds with your wife to get a solution. |
OP, help us help you. You did't even tell us what the issue is. You have presented your wife as this horrible human who's out to make your life miserable. You made light of any fault on your side. You repeatedly said she's unforgiving, but you didn't tell us those things you do or did that she's angry about. It's one thing to say sorry, it's another thing to keep doing whatever it is you did. Judging by the write-up alone, we'd tell you to quit the loveless marriage already (we'd forget about you the moment we leave this thread). Is that what you want to hear? We all know it might not be that simple. If you shared this story to get moral support for whatever actions you've taken or plan to take, then you're doing great. But if you shared it to get a solution, then you'll need to be open about what you're doing wrong. She might be a terrible person but a woman who accepted to marry you can't just wake up to say she's got no love for you anymore for the fun it. We need to view the situation from her perspective to get to the root cause, but sadly, your story doesn't give us anything to work with. It's just all about what she's doing wrong (the same thing you accuse her of). When did it start? What led to it? What did you say or do? How did she react? How did you settle it? Was there really a closure? Give us something to work with. Just saying your wife is unforgiving, holds malice, etc. Simply means you brought this here to get validation for your own malice and not to get any solution. |
NL when a guy cheats: Mind your business! NL when a lady cheats: It's just the right thing to tell on cheats. OP, follow your instincts. If my sibling's future life partner is sleeping around, I'd tell them provided I can prove it. Otherwise, my conscience would roast me when it turns out to be a bigger problem after marriage. |
Calling the other team chickens when your team also didn't win means you're either calling your team chicken as well or you just expected the opposing team to win but they didn't, so you're calling them chickens. Whichever way, it doesn't speak well of your team. |
Hahaha... this one got me laughing. |
Hehe... OP likes listening to his own voice. Sounds narcissistic. ![]() |
You mentioned all the symptoms of ADHD. You might want to take the kid to a hospital for proper diagnosis. |
There are a few theories out but I think it's just a euphemism like many others. Euphemisms make conversations flow without much awkwardness. |
For clarity, using "by" with time is not entirely wrong. It just doesn't have the same meaning as "at". "By" means "on or before"/"at or before". For example, the sentence "I will have slept off by 10PM" simply means I'd likely sleep off at 10PM or anytime before but not later than 10PM. Another good example is "be back by Monday". In this case, you can come back anytime before Monday or on Monday but not later. One thing to remember is that "by" is usually associated with the end of an activity, something that has ended or will have ended. "At", on the other hand, is used for a specific point in time. For example, "the bell rang at 12PM". |

AutoChick4U:He mistakenly gave out his details to the scammers. The app would naturally send the money to any account the scammers present provided they have the right login details. |
The dog! |
You've not gotten married, you're referring to your prospective wife as "this girl". Hehe... Anyway, that's why courtship is necessary. Take your time to find a compatible person. This has nothing to do with nationality, it's just the way it should be. Most people insulting Nigerian girls on here have never dated other girls. They just join others to parrot the same thing. But the truth is, most of them wouldn't be able to leave with white girls (or money making girls). This is because the issue isn't Nigerian girls, the issue is the Nigerian mindset. Society is garbage in garbage out. Most Nigerian men believe cooking and other house chores are for women. Invariably, the women have accepted making money is for men. You can't eat your cake and still have it. If you want a woman who goes out to make money, then you must partake actively in home keeping. The way you dread the idea of an able bodied woman asking you for money all the time is the same way a working class woman dreads the idea of an able bodied man expecting her to cook and do the cleaning all time. It's give and take. And no matter what you desire, there's always someone for you out there. Good luck! |
