Yes! She did it! |

Its kind of confusing that you didnt know or bother to understand this critical aspect of your husband's culture before you married him. Or perhaps there were unsettled issues at the time of this kneeling. To label someone none of us know as bad is being overly-presumptious. As others said, kneel and get up except for when you are being prayed for. And to those turning this into a tribal war, do sheath your swords, every tribe has its own distinct and different cultural practices, norms and innuendos. That something is not done in your tradition does not necessarily make it evil! 5 Likes |

No I don't think you should change the amount, its quite clear from the narrative that they are very rich even without tekena's biz, plus in serious bidding wars that's how the stakes are raised totally out of reach. |

'My dear, so how much did you say I have to bring? You know this must be the event of the century. I want people to be talking about this party until next year at least'. The heavy set woman, thick madam as she liked to be called, lifted her head in my direction. She was smiling even as she asked me how much I had told her we would require to organise her 60th birthday party. She was one of those serious Lagos socialites who enjoyed partying, both attending and organising. This would be the second party I would be organsisng for her this year already! Where did these people get all the money? I wondered. I told her the amount I had already written in the proposal I brought with me. The traffic was spiritual today. And the heat? We must have offended God too much in Lagos state. These were my thoughts as I left Thick Madam's place. Honestly I envy those in cold regions right now. I tried changing the levels of my AC but its as though the heat increases. As I struggled through the traffic at jibowu, I suddenly noticed a mad man appear from nowhere and sling something in a nylon bag over the black Nissan murano ahead of me. I wonder what kind of spirit is following the person in that car. How can a mad man throw something over you, ah! Wahala! Thank God it was not over me o, I pray silently. My phone rings and I answer. It is a client who is getting mrried in two months time. We were scheduled to meet at a cake tasting at ikeja but she was calling to let me know she would be late. Vivian called as I got close to the office. Vivian or viv as I called her is my bff. She still worked in the bank where I resigned from. "viv you won't believe I have been in traffic for two and a half hours!" "Ah ah, from where to where?" "I don't blame you, sebi you are in your office, enjoying AC." "Na me send you go hustle? No be you wan be business woman?" We gisted for several minutes updating each other on the day and promising to get together at the weekend. I was so hungry by the time I finally got home. I only just realised that I had not eaten anything since breakfast. As I made to open the door of my apartment, I noticed water trickling out under the door. My heart leapt into my mouth as I imagined what it could mean. As I opened the door I immediately saw that the rug was soaked with water! I hear the sound of water running and trace it to the bathroom. My sister must have forgotten to turn off the tap in the morning. I sink into a chair, tired even at the thought of the clean up required. Ah, what a day. |

dabossman: I have no issues with schools asking kids to dress up in any color whatsoever on any particular day of the week. But my neighbor's kids got sent back home because they were not dressed in red and white on Val's Day. That has to be the highest level of madness. But if I were that parent my level of madness would be one notch up for that school. 1 Like |

Its not what I believe, its what happened. The kids at school made cards for partners they were asked to choose in addition to 'bringing' them gifts. Would the kid have given the other such a card some other time or way? Possibly. But when the school obviously sanctions it, then by logic, it must be ok and acceptable then? Or wouldn't a kid think so? The teacher is usually always right. 1 Like |

OP I support you 100%. I have also wondered at the necessity of having kids dress up for the day. Like what exactly is the point? I think some schools just have no idea what they are doing. Why celebrate valentine day and make growing kids make out cards to their classmates and get them gifts? So you have 6 -11 year olds and above doing this encouraged by their schools and someone says they're not being encouraged to be promiscous? So what then are they being encouraged to do? When a primary 4 year girl gets a card designed in class saying I love you by a classmate who happens to be a boy, pray tell what exactly are we encouraging? Society is gone whack. 3 Likes |

What does he like? Has he been wanting a particular item to your knowledge? |

So to tantalize the guy? Take him out for a change to somewhere nice (pay for the food by yourself) or buy him those sneakers he has been eyeing in the shop since. Give him a gift card for a massage at the spa. If you're married, leave him notes everywhere you can think of that he would look, and let him go on a treasure quest! |

No 3 is strictly for married couples. I'll post for guys later, typing on the phone is stressful on my fingers. |

Well I want to highlight a few romantic (even cheesy) things you can do to delight your 'chosen one' even without big bucks.This Val may be a good time to start. Some are old and tried while others are just chacha! 1.Buy her flowers. Many guys think flowers don't work for the naija babe, but presented right, they do. Send the flowers to her at her workplace, have the flower shop send it for a little extra or hijack a friend or cousin or brother do it. The more public the presentation the better. 2. If you are going over the top and buying a big ticket item like a car, the better the presentation the better! Inagine having the car delivered to her all bowed up and jazzed up. Ah, she will be yours for life. If you want this, let us know, this is our fort. 3. Dinner for two, only make it at home. Jazz up your place, cook ( or order if you can't), turn down the lights, play soft music etc etc. Make it a surprise. Pick her up and let her assume you're going somewhere, stop by the house on a pretext of forgetting something and have her enter and her surprise will be heartwarming. |
