Crime / Re: My Apartment Was Robbed In A Very Mysterious Way! by zephrsmile(m): 10:24am On Dec 27, 2019
Is your apartment semi-detached? The burglar could have come in through your service man hole in the ceiling.

Mike4S:
I came back from the the church on Sunday only to see my apartment rummaged. My gas cylinder that I just filled, my new electric iron that is still intact in the packet, my new stainless vacuum cup, aso ebi 2 each 6 yards and Polish and brush were all carted away.

What really surprised me is my key being intact and no sign of break and enter from any part of the apartment.

Air of mystery still surrounds how my apartment was robbed.

I want to go and just drop statement with the police. Hope that one will be welcomed? Guys I need your contributions. I just packed in there. It's somewhere opposite Lagos Business School along Lekki Epe express way
Romance / Re: Your Boyfriend Is Not Your Husband! by zephrsmile(m): 10:56am On Oct 23, 2019
My friend go and find your own girlfriend and stop chasing gullible girls with illogical gist.
So when u meet a girl you fancy, your approach is to propose marriage immediately abi?
tongue
Commot the plenty nails wey girls don hammer you for head first. You are probably not their type.


Hamachi:
Your boyfriend is not your husband!

A guy approached you for a relationship, and you tell him, 'I have a boyfriend', boyfriend ke. It's very wrong to tell a guy, "I have a boyfriend', when a
guy asks you out. Its totally wrong!

I once met a Lady of like 25 years I really admired, I asked her out and she boldly told me, 'no! I have a boyfriend!' Jesus!

A boyfriend at 25 years? A boyfriend has no right over any girl, because he is not yet matured to have a woman, that is why he is a boy.

You can only tell someone, " I am engaged or I am married'. Telling a man that came your way you have a boyfriend simply means you are still a kid playing around with a boy.

You can't keep a boyfriend for the rest of your life and expect to be married. A boy must graduate to a youth, then to a man. A boy is someone that keeps a girl for fun, a fiancé is someone that want to marry her, and man is that person that finally pay her dowry. Having a boyfriend that sex you doesn't mean you are in a serious relationship or you have a man that will marry you: it simply means, 'I have a boy that I have fun with'

You can have as many boyfriends at a time, but you can only have one fiancé and one husband. Dont tie down your destiny with a boy. Don't tie down your destiny because of ignorant.

Having a boyfriend is just like having a normal friend. Having an intimate boyfriend is like having a sexual partner, that marriage isn't yet involved. It is not being in a relationship. Anybody is free to toast you. Having sex with a boy doesn't mean you guys are committed for each other. You can be in a sexual relationship and thinks or feels you are in a committed relationship. Committed relationship starts the moment you both had graduated from that childish fantasy, from that childish fallacy.

Ie, when he finally proposed to you and meet your parents.
Stop being ignorant!
Stop living in ignorance.
You can reject your husband because of a boyfriend. Don't ever be proud just because you have a boy that sleep

Career / Re: Should I Reveal My Salary Status? by zephrsmile(m): 8:24am On Jun 11, 2019
How come you know that you earn more than them and they dont. Also, do you hold the same position /rank as your curious colleagues? It could either of these scenarios
1. Management has lied to you and you that you earn more. You may actually be earning the same wages or even less.
You may also not be taxable in the same manner as them.

2. There are certain things that you do that suggest a higher lifestyle than your colleagues thus their interest.

Whatever the case may be. Discuss with the Human Resource department about what the policy of the firm is on sharing pay information. Their response could give u a better insight on what your next line of action should be.

Travel / Re: My Cousin Is Stranded In The US.. Needs A Place To Stay (He Is Single & Handsome by zephrsmile(m): 3:58am On May 08, 2016
This tread is hilarious. So you actually expect people to just let strangers into their homes because someone that is equally a stranger on nairaland asked? If he doesn't have a place to stay, let him return home. The request stinks. If his own friend can turn him back, don't you think there are a lot of questions to be asked?

Celebrities / Re: Tiwa Savage Is Wrong According To Yoruba Cutomary Marriage Act by zephrsmile(m): 7:40pm On Apr 30, 2016
scully95:
Written by Grandson Soyemi.

Tiwa Salvage says she will always allow her estranged husband to have access to their son. As a Yoruba woman, she is totally in the wrong here. This is more so because the Yoruba people have three phases of marriage: the Introduction, the Engagement and the Registry, Church or Mosque Ceremony.

The most significant of the three stages is the engagement proper which is often conducted under the Yoruba Cutomary Marriage Act.
The Act states that the children of the union between a husband and a wife belong to the father and if the father dies, the children belong to his immediate family. Tiwa's husband has all the rights over their child, according to the Yoruba culture and tradition, which are laws in Yorubaland.

However, this tradition is not the same as those of the White in America or the English from the United Kingdom, where more often than not it is the wife who has the custody of the children. In Yorubaland, it is the father who has the custody. Tiwa, therefore has no right whatsoever over the child of her union with the husband. She is in Lagos, Yorubaland and not in New York or London.
I have done this post to educate the gullible Yoruba Youth who may have watched Tiwa's video. On reflection, I am, however disturbed on the mores and mishaps that increasingly afflict love and marriage among young Yorubas.

Our society expects us all to get married. With only rare exceptions, we all do just that. Getting married is a rather complicated business. It involves mastering certain complex hustling and courtship games, the rituals and the ceremonies that celebrate the act of marriage, and finally the difficult requirements of domestic life with a husband or wife. It is an enormously elaborate round of activities, much more so than finding a job, and yet while many resolutely remain unemployed, few remain unmarried.

Now all this would not be particularly remarkable if there were no question about the advantages, the joys, and the rewards of married life, but most Yoruba, even young Yoruba, know or have heard that marriage is a hazardous affair.
Of course, for all the increase in divorce, there are still young marriages that work, unions made by young men and women intelligent or fortunate enough to find the kind of mates they want, who know that they want children and how to love them when they come, or who find the artful blend between giving and receiving.

It is not these marriages that concern us here, and that is not the trend in Yoruba today. We are concerned with the increasing number of others who, with mixed intentions and varied illusions, grope or fling themselves into marital disaster. They talk solemnly and sincerely about working to make their marriage succeed, but they are very aware of the countless marriages they have seen fail.
But young people in particular do not seem to be able to relate the awesome divorce statistics to the probability of failure of their own marriage. And they rush into it, in increasing numbers, without any clear idea of the reality that underlies the myth.
I can only hope Tiwa and her husband find the grace to work things out on their own.

I will gladly bust ur bubble. If we like we can be yoruba history teacher sef. But we have a Constitution in Nigeria which supercedes any traditional customs. Besides where is the best interest of the child in this narrative. So, you would want to deceive us that yoruba women have no rights in marriage abi? Nice try. It's men like you that help to propagate this silly attitudes in some yoruba men. Does yoruba customs also support not providing for your family? Or exposing them to external shame and ridicule by raking up debts for your wife to pay. Or even drug use by the head of the family. Please enlightened us with your infinite knowledge on tradition.

Celebrities / Re: Toni Payne Shades Wizkid & Linda Ikeji's fight (photos) by zephrsmile(m): 12:30pm On Apr 08, 2016
Amberon11:
this Lady is senseless to support wizkid. This only shows how rotten and maggot infested our society is. A boy or man openly insults and defames a woman's privates publicly, even threatening her with violence and some "supposed" adults are taking sides with him?

Last time teyana Taylor threatened Rihanna with violence, she lost her Adidas endorsement. Linda ikeji is a blogger and bloggers Post stories and obviously, Linda Ikeji's story WA's true. She didn't insult him in any way but wizkid came Like a venomous Snake and offloaded all its vernom, but no, our morally bankrupt society saw nothing with.

Thats why foreign acts only throws subliminals in statements because they know they Will lose endorsements by the such act of misconduct.

If your mother and a tout fought in Public and tore each Other's clothes, who would you be ashamed Of, Your mother or the tour?

Where is Lalasticlala when you need him o

Wizkid is just an immature overgrown child that deserves no serious response.

Linda has simply shown all that she is really not mature. She is at least a decade older than Wizkid. Let's assume Wizkid is a mannerless idiot. What's her excuse for this shameless public display by both of them. Wizkid can claim lack of understanding and Wisdom. What can she possibly tell us other than she is equally an insecure and dull individual.
