mohawkchic: WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR NAIRALAND MEMBERS TO MAKE COMMENTS AT ANYONE'S OPINIONS WITHOUT TAKING IT PERSONAL WITH BOXING GLOVES. IF YOU CANNOT TAKE THE HEAT, THEN GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN. MY COMMENTS ARE NOT A REFLECTION OF YOUR LIFE. IF ANY WOMAN DECIDES TO EMPOWER A MAN TO CONTROL THE REST OF HER LIFE FOR HER IN THE NAME OF MARRIAGE, THAT IS A PERSONAL ISSUE. NOT ALL WOMEN ARE AS STRONG AS I AM. AND DON'T BE JEALOUS OF MY INDEPENDENCE AND CONFIDENCE AS A SINGLE WOMAN |

I can't for the life of me see where in my post you had the incline to suggest your comments were a reflection of my life or that i'd taken it personal!! ~Tell you the thruth,i think you're a shite stirer,this Dr Jekyll /Mrs Hyde posts Isnt fooling me!! IF ANY WOMAN DECIDES TO EMPOWER A MAN TO CONTROL THE REST OF HER LIFE FOR HER IN THE NAME OF MARRIAGE, THAT IS A PERSONAL ISSUE. NOT ALL WOMEN ARE AS STRONG AS I AM. AND DON'T BE JEALOUS OF MY INDEPENDENCE AND CONFIDENCE AS A SINGLE WOMAN ~You Are Definately Away with the Fairy's !~ |

TWO PEOPLE HAD UNPROTECTED SEXUAL INTERCOURSE "ALL~NIGHT~LONG LIKE SOME PEOPLE DID THIS WEEKEND, AND NINE MONTHS LATER OR MORE, ONE OF THEM DECIDED NOT TO BE A PART OF THE PARTY ANYMORE, THEREBY MAKING THE RESPONSIBLE ONE (MALE OR FEMALE) BECOMES A SINGLE PARENT. WHAO |

most women don't choose to be single mothers, but through unprepared circumstances they become one. However just because they do end up single mothers does not mean that life has ended, it may be hard work, but they still get the same joy as being a parent, as those who arnt single parents. |

JUST A LITTLE BRIEFING ABOUT LIFE. As I was growing up in Nigeria, I envied no one else but my parents. They both worked so hard to provide a wonderful life for all of us, nine altogether, bored by a most beautiful African mother I had ever know from ILE~IFE. For some reasons, my Dad always warned us to take good care of his grand children even more than he is taking care of us. He made us promised them at dinner table back in the days. I really didn't understand his prophesies at the time. I was sent to the United States to study, and here I am, feeling free to live life the way I had wanted but never got a chance to. I was a virgin at 25 when I arrived the States. Barely three months after my arrival and with that strong YORUBA ACCENTS in the classrooms, the American women were all over me, and before I knew it I became an expectant father out of consciousness. I told my parents about the expectant baby. Funds stopped flowing into my bank accounts. My parents had never been angry at me like that experienced in my whole life. I had to go get a damn JOB. Started as an assistant store manager with a CHEVRON GAS STATION. My daughter's mother called me after nine months that she was about to have the baby. I went to the hospital just to witness the birth of a child into my life, and to medically verify the child was mine from birth. I was not going to listen to all my NIGERIAN UNION OF FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS friends at the time who advised me to run to another states and abandon the child with the mother. I knew that was never going to be possible. My parents does not want to have anything to do with me anymore, and to worsen the story, someone had stolen my Nigerian passport. I couldn't travel out of the United States. My parent had blocked a renewal Nigerian passports from Nigeria. they would call to check if I'm still alive in America. Most especially my Mum, even though Dad warned her not to send me a dime any more. Mother would still find a way to send some money through dubious means. After the birth of the child, I knew only death will separate me and the little child. The mother was BLACK AMERICAN. American women are notorious for trapping good men with babies for financial reasons here. I was a novice. I didn't know anything about the US laws with regards to child supports. The mother had already reported me to the court for child supports. I was determined NEVER to sell myself to servitude. Hence, I had to go to court to defend myself, and claim custody of the little child. My mother was no ordinary woman. She was determined to do anything possible from Nigeria to protect her son in America. Three years later, I was awarded full custody of the little girl. My daughter is nine years old now, and the best student in her Elementary school. My point is this, One become a single parent out of no choice. No matter how smart and preventive you are, your destiny will still rule your life. Most single parents do not plan to become a single parent, but due to life circumstances. THIS IS A TRUE STORY OF MY LIFE. I DARE ANYONE MAKE STUPID AND DUMB COMMENTS WITH REGARDS TO MY STORY. I AM WRITING TO EDUCATE SOMEONE WHO WOULD READ AND LEARN FROM IT. I DID NOT WRITE THIS STORY TO BE RIDICULED, BUT I SURE EXPECT SOME DUMB ASSHOLE TO READ THIS AND MAKE A STUPID COMMENT ABOUT IT. I am waiting. |

Re: Why Single Parent by LAKANYE(m): 3:50am On Jun 30, 2008 |
ikamefa: I AM WHAT I CHOOSE TO BE. AT LEAST SOMEONE TRULLY KNOWS ME IN NAIRALAND. ITS NOTHING ABOUT BEING A MAN OR A WOMAN. NOR MULTIPLE PERSONALITY SEXUALITY SYN DRONE. MY JOB IN THE UNITED STATES AS A FEDERAL AGENT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I HAVE TO CHANGE PERSONALITY. IF I BECOME A US SENATOR TOMORROW, IT WOULD NOT STOP ME FROM IDENTIFYING MYSELF WITH MY ROOTS. THERE ARE MORE REASONS TO IT, AS I AM NOT ALONE IN NAIRALAND WITH MULTIPLE PERSONALITY SYNDRONE. 96% OF NAIRALAND MEMBERS DID NOT REVEAL THEIR TRUE SELF. |
Re: Why Single Parent by ikamefa(f): 4:06am On Jun 30, 2008 |
LAKANYE~: though i did not start reading this thread from the beginning if i understand you very well you are trying to justify being a single parent? posting as a woman? well being a single parent : it is what it is life happens a federal agent or not if you are trying to mask your self, simply change your user name as to the multiple personality thingy you are right oh na eugen bleuler town we dey |

Re: Why Single Parent by Maykelly(f): 5:00pm On Jul 01, 2008 |
LAKANYE~: @LAKANYE You have not done any thing bad and i asure you no resonable person will ridicle you, because There are many out and in there that have had a bitter life experience than this and covered it up and I will also say that having a child at home, b/4 geting married to a man is not a sin but African mentality mostly Nigeria is the cause of many babies being dumped in the dust bin. Be strong in the Lord Jesus Christ who never condemns any. |

IF ALL SINGLE PARENTS WOULD WRITE ABOUT THEIR LIFE EXPERIENCES, AND HOW THEY BECAME A SINGLE PARENTS, I THINK A LOT OF THE JUVENILES ON NAIRALAND.COM WOULD LEARN FROM READING A TRUE LIFE EXPERIENCES ABROAD. |

Re: Why Single Parent by sammyjl(f): 3:37pm On Jul 24, 2008 |
Directly @ Lakanye: You put it so bad. Some people have gone through this unexpected, accidentally, some raped and were scared to tell and therefore just went ahead. U will be surprised of ppl's stories of how they got that way. Some decided it that way and some, who knows. I am sure u r above the age of 16 and therefore should act as such, even my 14 yr old brother wouldnt comment the way u do. nevertheless to answer the Post - Different circumstances make up for ppl to b single parents. In my case the father denied responsibilty. I said what the hell, got my degree, got a nice job, got myself a ride, still looking fabulous and am raising my son to the best. Just to see the father coming and claiming the kid is his after all this yrs, I said "what the hell, the last words i heard from you 7 rs back, were "that isnt my kid". So I said to him, " u weren't the only one, (u know). He left. |
Re: Why Single Parent by LAKANYE(m): 4:14am On Jul 25, 2008 |
sammyjl: [b]I honestly do not understand what you meant by "YOU PUT IT SO BAD" Could you please come down to my lay~man level? And if you are making reference to my single parenting escapade in America, such is life here in America. Most Nigerians in Nigeria would wonder how anyone becomes a single parent because the cultural setups in Nigeria frowns against women bearing children out of wedlock. A woman would rather abort a child in Nigeria to protect her religious or cultural status. Your case is dynamic, having to face the "good for nothing and dead beat father to your son", makes it harder for other prospective and good men to get inside your underwear afterwards, which makes you become a refined woman of substance. It is so amazing that what we had to experience in life is the actual bedrock of who we become at the long~run. But, perhaps you may have misunderstood my personal pains and struggles at the initial time of my struggles in a foreign land as a single parent. I learn t from my predicaments of dating foreign women in America who have no culture, but laws.[/b] |

@ Lakanye, I think you did a great thing by taking full custody of your daughter,that shows responsibility and guts.Good luck to you men. What i really don't understand is the Norman Bait character you pulled. |

Re: Why Single Parent by Feministic(f): 5:08pm On Jul 30, 2008 |
I honestly do not understand what you meant by "YOU PUT IT SO BAD" Could you please come down to my lay~man level? This is very true, I wonder why women suffer more of the consequences of such events since it is obvious that we are not getting ourselves pregnant. It also pains me to notice that while abortion is illegal in Nigeria, there are no laws that require a man to support children that are conceived unintentionally, in fact there is not much enforcement of laws that are (usually) geared toward women's safety or rights (rape, domestic abuse, abortion, etc) |

Re: Why Single Parent by obillyj(f): 5:00pm On Aug 02, 2008 |
Different issues can make one walk down that lane. we all have different perspectives over this single parent issue. to me i really dont see anythin wrong with it, provided the person in question has what it takes to be a single parent and can make up for the other parent. at the same time bearing in mind that his/her affairs should not affect the child/children (afterall man body no be firewood). it is one option i can take if situation calls for iit. i love children and really long to have them. to me if i leave this life and dont have atleast a child then i lived an unfulfilled life. Again, i've always told my friends that marriage is one thing i dont EVER want to make mistake in and instead of me to be involved in all those marriage palaver, believe me nairalanders i will comfortably prefer to be a single parent. |
Re: Why Single Parent by LAKANYE(m): 11:18pm On Aug 02, 2008 |
obillyj: BELIEVE ME, MARRIAGE IS SOME LIFETIME BULLSHIT FOR MOST MARRIAGES. I PREFER TO RAISE MY CHILDREN BY MYSELF. I CANNOT DEAL WITH A CHEATING SPOUSE, A LIER, SNOOPER, OR ANYONE TRYING HARD TO INHERIT HALF OF MY SHIT. EVERYTHING I HAVE BELONGS TO NO ONE ELSE BUT MY CHILDREN. |
