Good Morning Jzhane, Peter and I met during my final year in the university. We dated and got married two years after. Things were a bit difficult for us at the early stage of our marriage. Peter always dream of making it big one day by travelling abroad. In the first two years of our marriage,as soon as we were able to save enough money,Peter traveled to Ireland. I was left alone in Nigeria with our little girl,Faith who was just 15 months old at the time. We had planned that Peter would go abroad and hustle for us to join him as soon as possible. My husband tries to send us money once in like four months which was barely enough. I had to work on getting a better job for us to sustain the family here.Peter was in Ireland for three more years before he was able to visit us back in Nigeria. When he came,he said he was still working to bring us to join him. He spoke about how life was very difficult in Europe. When he left,I discovered I was pregnant with our second child. I gave birth to our son and called him Junior. For the past eight years,my husband has only visited us once (he only visited once in the third year). He is able to send us money more regularly but he began to say that he had changed his mind about his family joining him that he wanted us to build our house and he would return back to Nigeria. Peter sent me money and we began to build our house. We completed the building of our house last year and I have been asking my husband when he is returning to join us but he keeps saying I should not worry. My son is five years,he has never seen his father before. Last December,my younger brother found out on facebook that my husband was posing with a white lady and two kids on the lady’s facebook page. They looked like a couple. I went on facebook and behold,I saw my husband and this woman and her two children looking like half cast. I immediately called my husband to ask him what he was doing with the woman I just saw him with on fb. He was quiet for a while and said... https://livelystones.com.ng/my-husband-married-an-abroad-wife-he-wants-me-to-wait-15-years/

According to a report, the custom of crying during weddings, especially during traditional weddings existed a long time ago. According to elderly people in some traditions, every bride has to cry at the wedding. Otherwise, the bride’s neighbors would look down upon her as a poorly cultivated girl and she would become the laughingstock of the village. In fact, there are traditions in which the bride is beaten by her mother for not crying at the wedding ceremony. In some other traditions, usually, the bride begins to cry a month before the wedding day. As the night falls, the bride walks inside the hall and weeps for about an hour. Ten days later, her mother joins her, crying together with her.; Another ten days later, the grandmother joins the daughter and mother, to cry together with them. The sisters and aunts of the bride, if she has any, also have to join the crying. A groom was once asked why he cried at his wedding, read his reply below: Imagine being surrounded by your closest friends, your family, and a beautiful setting. Imagine standing in front of all these folks knowing you are as happy as you ever wanted to be and you know in a moment or two, there will be someone walking down the aisle who feels the same way for you. There may some nerves, but deep down you know you have found the woman you want to spend your forever with. At this point, you are feeling this rush of contentment surround you and warming your heart to its capacity. When this happens, you feel as though there is no way you could be happier or anything could be better. Suddenly, you hear the oohs, the ” she is so beautiful s,” and the pleasant reaction of your guests as your bride begins her graceful stride towards you. Now, at the culmination of all your joy and contentment, you lay your eyes upon the most beautiful woman in the world and you know, she is going to be your best friend and love of your life. To you dear nairander , if you are not married yet , are you going to cry on your wedding day ? If you are already , did you cry on your wedding day ?

Hello Lively Stones, Please help me make sense of this situation. My wife is always complaining that I am not romantic enough. I try my best but she always complains. Sometimes,I just ignore her nagging. We had a quarrel one time and she actually said she has been with more romantic guys than myself. In my anger,I told her to go and meet those guys since I was not good enough for her. Last week,she told me she would like us to go and watch movies at the cinema on Friday. I told her I would try but I was not going to guarantee cos its year end in my company and I have a huge work load to finish. That Friday,I sent her a text message when it was almost time that I couldnt make it,she should go on with me. She went and saw a movie without me. She got home and told me the movie was cool but she was very cold towards me,obviously cos I didnt make it. Well,on Saturday evening,I was chatting with a friend who said he thought he sighted me and my wife at the movies yesterday. I told him he was wrong,that I was not at the movies with my wife,only my wife. He said well,he could be wrong cos he could swear he saw a couple looking like me and my wife. He went on to describe what my wife was wearing and the man he thought was myself. The description was close enough,my wife was wearing a navy blue dress with long braids. That matched her description. The description of the man with her was not me. He said he was trying to catch our attention but he was also in a hurry to catch up with someone else. After the chat,I asked my wife if she saw a movie with someone yesterday,she looked at me and said what do you mean? I told her,Frank saw you cuddling a man at the Cinema yesterday. She replied ha...nooo,we were not cuddling o,we just hung out. At that point,I said so who is the guy that you were hanging out with,she looked at me and said,if I tell you now,you will start talking. I didnt understand her. I was pretending to be very angry and she now said:ok,I ran into Kelvin at the mall yesterday. He said he was seeing the same movie as me,so we decided to go together. We just watched the movie and hung out thats all. Kelvin is my wife's ex. They dated for four years before me. He is into the entertainment business and I sometimes feel like my wife still has a thing for him. So hearing that he and my wife saw a movie got me thinking all kinds of thoughts. My wife and I https://livelystones.com.ng/my-wife-says-i-am-not-romantic-is-this-a-sign-of-trouble-for-my-marriage/ |
Well, just be careful before making decision. Beke2020: |
Popular actress, Faithia Balogun, recalls how her acting career started and also the challenges she has faced over the years Can you recall some of your most memorable childhood experiences? The only thing I can vividly remember is my experience in school. I went to one of the most popular schools in those days, Maryland Comprehensive High School, Ikeja. I loved going to school because every morning, my father would drive me to school and I always looked forward to seeing him after school or whenever he returned from the office. What kind of family do you come from? My family is a very small one. We were not extremely rich but we were very comfortable. I had everything a kid desired and I really enjoyed my childhood. When was the first time you considered acting as a career? I was a student of the Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin and I came home for a brief vacation. One day, my late foster brother, Fatai Teniola, was waiting for one of his casts to show up for a movie production. When the actress didn’t come, he and Kokonsari asked me if I could play the role. I replied that I couldn’t and that I was not even interested in acting. However, after much pleading, I decided to do it. I went back to school after that and I didn’t return for a long time so I forgot all about acting because it wasn’t in my plans. As of then, I was studying for a diploma in Law, with the intention of switching over to accounting because my father really wanted me to become an accountant. But I didn’t get admission to study accounting because I wasn’t good at mathematics. After school, I didn’t have anything to do, so I joined my foster brother’s production outfit and that was how it started. I then realised that it was something I enjoyed and I decided to go with the flow. Because I began to enjoy acting, I didn’t go back to school for my Higher National Diploma. That was when it occurred to me that I could take it up as a sustainable career. I rose fast in the movie industry because as of the time I joined, there weren’t too many actresses in the industry and I was getting ample jobs. However, after few years of acting, I travelled to the United Kingdom. Did you eventually complete your studies in the UK? Yes, I enrolled in a part-time drama course, though I did not finish because I got pregnant along the line. But I still had the determination that I would go back to school. Last year, I went to the Olabisi Onabanjo University to study Filming and I am happy about it. Can you recall the first movie you acted in? It was either T’alo pa Chief or Secretary and that was between 1989 and 1990. Which movie made you popular? T’alo pa Chief was a very popular movie back then and I played a major role in it. Then I was using the name, Faithia Williams and some people still refer to me by that name. After I got back from the UK, I acted in Abule Sowo by Yinka Quadri and that revived my career again. What were some of the challenges you faced at the beginning of your career? I usually tell people that there are challenges in all careers, even for meat sellers in the market. One has to pay his or her dues when coming up. You cannot just get there and think you would rise to the top in no time. If you don’t have endurance and patience, you wouldn’t be able to make it because you will get to hear a lot of messed up things. There is also an incident that happened at the early stage of my career. After returning from London, I was invited to act the sub-lead role in a movie outside Lagos. When we finished shooting the first day, the director said the lead actress, who was reigning at that time though I started acting before her, would sleep in the best hotel in that town, while I would follow him to his one-roomed apartment. I ended up sleeping on a couch for two days and I didn’t complain. But I prayed to God and asked Him to make me grow bigger than even the lady and I’m grateful for where I am today. How many movies have you produced? I’ve produced about 15 movies. What were some of the challenges you faced while producing those movies? If you ask me to choose between acting and producing, I will pick acting because it is less stressful. When you’re acting, you’re like the boss because everybody will be fussing over you. But when producing, you will be the one to run after the actors and make sure they’re okay. That makes me mad because some actors can be very difficult to handle, but you must not lose your calm. While producing Asa, which is my biggest movie, it was during the rainy season and I couldn’t shoot for some days. Meanwhile, I was feeding over 500 people on set. It was very tough but I was able to scale through. Do you think there’s tribalism in the movie industry? I wouldn’t call it tribalism; rather it has to do with how everybody started. We started acting in Yoruba while they were speaking English in their movies. If we want them to act in our movies, we would have to call them and vice versa. But the only painful part of it is that they feel we are not educated and cannot speak English. That irks me a lot because we have a lot of educated people in the Yoruba movie industry. If you were not an actress, what do you think you would have been doing? I honestly don’t know. Even if I had completed my education at the initial stage, I don’t think I would have worked with my certificate. However, I like engaging in business and I am already doing that alongside my acting career. Would you consider yourself a fashionable person? In my own little way, I think I’m fashionable. I like looking good and I spend a lot of money to achieve that. I love shoes and bags and I can do anything to get them. What can you never be caught wearing? I can never wear bum shorts, except in movies. Why is that? I feel my legs are not straight, they are bowed. I believe that wearing bum shorts with bow legs looks funny so when I see people doing that, I feel it’s awkward. How do you unwind? I’m a homely person and I cherish my privacy a lot. If I’m not working, I will either be sleeping or watch movies in my house. But once in a while, I visit cinemas. Do you watch your own movies? Not really, because I feel very stupid doing that and I criticise myself a lot. Are you still willing to give marriage another shot? I don’t know if I’ll fall in love again but let’s leave that to God. Never say never. What are the qualities your ideal man must possess? I wouldn’t tell you because anytime you see me with anybody who has those qualities, you would assume we’re dating. But the most important thing is that the person must be God-fearing. Do you think it’s advisable for entertainers to date each other? We all have our lives to live and I cannot dictate to anybody. What is your official name now? My name is Faithia Williams. But most people know you as Faithia Balogun; don’t you think it would be confusing to your fans? I don’t think so. Many of my fans still call me Faithia Balogun and even in movie credits, I am referred to by that name. You recently celebrated your birthday, would anything be changing for you? Yes. I have a lot of projects on my table and I also have a new management team that is working hard. It had always been hard for me to get my management team right but thank God I’ve got the best in town now and we’re working hand-in-hand to execute my projects. I am passionate about the girl child and I have a short movie coming soon about that. I featured in Kunle Afolayan’s new movie, Roti, and I’m very excited about it. It will be showing in cinemas soon and I want my fans to keep a lookout for it. I also hosted some of my loyal fans to brunch recently. Are you really 50 years old? I am not and my family knows that. If I clock 50, I would announce it to the world in a big way. I’m still in my 40s. What’s your specific age? I am in my mid 40s. Is any of your children following your footsteps as an actress? I have seen little traces. My son writes a lot of scripts and he wants to study Cinematography. My daughter also likes writing and she wants to study English. However, they both don’t like to act. A lot of people don’t know that you’re not Yoruba? Anybody that doesn’t know that is not my true fan. I’m from Delta State, Urhobo to be precise. Notwithstanding, I’m so proud and glad to be in the midst of Yoruba people because they are very wonderful. https://livelystones.com.ng/faithia-balogun-set-give-marriage-second-chance/

Hello, My life is at a very dark place now. I am not a happy man at all. When I married my wife, I was sure I was settling down with someone who I could trust and spend the rest of my life with. We met on a flight. I work with a top accounting firm and I travel alot, representing my company and our clients all over the country and beyond. I met my wife on a trip to South Africa. She is a cabin crew member of one of the top airlines. We hit off immediately we met. We exchanged nos and flirted with each other, 1 year later, we got married. We talked about our busy lives due to our work schedules and we agreed to not have children until three years. She’s still young at 24. Gina and I are happy. We spend time when we can,we have a healthy sex life. She’s my dream come true. Brilliant, intelligent, sexy and all. Our lives was like a movie. However, Gina cheated on me. I found out from a whatsapp chat that she received but somehow she didn’t delete the message. The guy she slept with was blackmailing her and was threatening to expose her if she didn’t pay him. When I saw the message, I died. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. Later on, I asked my wife, and she broke down, confessed and said it happened when they traveled to Dubai. He was someone she met while their plane landed briefly in Dubai. They met at a hotel in Dubai and got drunk. She said she didn’t know it how it happened. But that after that, she left the guy but he traced her from her facebook and has since been blackmailing her. Well, I was truly upset and told her our marriage is over but after a while, I decided to let it go. I decided to forgive her and love her like I promised till death do us part. I called the guy and called his bluff. Now, he’s saying he has.... https://livelystones.com.ng/she-cheatednow-we-are-being-blackmailed/ |
