We still have people like the senate president, Goodwill Akpabio, Minister of state for Petroleum, Ekperikpe Ekpo, former Governor of Cross River, Ben Ayade, and other major Tinubu supporters from Akwa Ibom and Cross River states. None of them can lobby Tinubu to fix that road that has become a death trap.

Romance / Re: Lady Lays A Curse As Husband Abandons Family To Get Married To New Wife (Video) by Curiouscity(m): 3:59pm On Nov 04, 2024
Tolu2024:
Instead of you to curse the man only you are cursing the man entire family forgetting your 3 kids share the same blood with him?

Sense una no get .

Though such curses do work if you hurt someone deeply I remember one of my aunt who lay a curse on her on son dad because the man denied it. The curse was “ if this baby is yours and you deny it’s not yours you will never have a child “ for over 20 years the man couldn’t bear a child he have to come back and apologize to my aunt and pay her bride price for his son.

So whatever you do don’t hurt a lady who gave birth to your kids , because you have already shared blood with her .


Even if the lady is after man's life? That a lady gives birth to a man's child(ren) shouldn't mean the lady is entitled to toxic and unruly behavior. Every human has a right to life and happiness.
Food / How Do You Like Your Meat? by Curiouscity(m): 5:45am On Nov 04, 2024
Yesterday I went to friend's house for a kind of house warming party It was a small party, as all the attendees were mutual friends. We were served assorted kinds of meat, from chicken/turkey to goat meat, beef, peppered snail, and fish. The ladies started a conversation that I initially thought was something mundane. But it got to a heated argument. Some said that the meats were too tender, and that Nigerians love tough or as they put it "chewy" meat. Some said soft/tender is best. I was sitting on the fence till I left.

I want to ask. As a Nigerian, do you appreciate "chewy"/tough meat or you love tender/soft meat?

I need your opinion please.

I believe this guy is asking on behalf of someone else. Or he is planning his exit before starting.
No one who has spent 1 year in a major seminary would ask these set of questions.

All the major seminaries in Nigeria are affiliated to Nigerian universities. So, their degrees are NUC recognized. If your bishop permits, you can even do NYSC. Some use those degrees to work in secular offices.

The question should be, what kind of work can someone with a degree in philosophy or/and theology do in the Civil service or corporate world?

God bless that great woman who walked her daughter down the aisle, doing what a father is supposed to do. Africa needs to root out all those evill ancient cultures which forbids women from doing certain things. Let other women take note, walk your children down the isle, don't stress yourself looking for a bad* ex husband.

Walking a daughter down the aisle is not and has never been an African culture. It's copied from the West.
Sadly, we have copied lots of things from the West, such that we can differentiate what is originally African.

She should have adopted a female child years ago, I truly do not know if a woman who has boys only, plus a failed marriage can be happy. If she had at least one daughter, she would be happy.

Coming from a lady, I am inclined to believe you. I don't think she would be willing to do that at this present stage of life.

Family / Should I Tell Her? by Curiouscity(m): 4:19am On Aug 05, 2024
Good morning my people.
I will try my best to summarize my plight about my "friend".

Background
For almost 15 years I have known this lady. I think she is in her mid 50s. I knew her through a mutual friend. We used to chat about lots of things. She appeared down to earth. She used to tell me about her then relationship, and even sought my help (during her separation/divorce) in some ways I could. She is intelligent, outspoken, and loves helping the less privilege. I used to call her a good friend.

But in the last 7-8 years, she has turn a 'Voltron' of the 3rd wave of feminism. For her, every man with any masculine characteristics is toxic. All fathers are deadbeats, and abusive. Every woman who appears to be happy in her marriage is abused and suffering. Men are to be used and dumped. She popularize the statement "Don't listen to men! And don't listen to women who listen to men" on all her social media handles. She also turned agnostic/atheist (or would I say anti-christian). Most of her religious followers left her. I doubt if I can call her my friend any more.

The Problem
She has 3 handsome sons (23, 26, 31). When she started making her vitriol against men public on her social media handles, I asked her if she would recommend the type of women she is encouraging modern women to be to her sons. She said that she doesn't care. If any of the sons "do anyhow with any lady" he would "see anyhow", or better still they should "upgrade".
Recently, she has complained like 3 times that the sons have "ghosted" her. The one in UK stopped talking to her about 3 years ago. The two that lived with her have moved out, and she doesn't know where they live, neither do they pick her call. She basically cried few days ago, that she has no child.
I felt like telling her that her adult kids may not see her as a role model in a lady they may be interested in marrying. That if every lady listens and acts based on her views, her sons won't marry or have a peaceful marriages. That the kids may not comfortable in the way she demonizes their father, even when the man has seen them through universities.

Should I tell her or mind my business?
Family / Re: Hold Abel Damina Responsible Anything Happens To My Family - Odola. by Curiouscity(m): 3:13am On Aug 05, 2024
So, it pains you guys (gods of men) when your wives listen to another person? Yet, you all are being worshiped by peoples' wives to the detriment of their husbands. In your presence a woman would insult her husband, and turns around to call you 'daddy', and you don't call her to order? A woman would come to your 'all night' without the husband's knowledge or consent, if the husband complain, you prophesy that he is demonic and the wife should leave him or deny him marital respect and rights.
I wish some Nigerian Christians are less emotional/gullible, and tell the truth about some of these pastors. The number of families/marriages destroyed directly or indirectly by some of these 'gods of men' are enormous.
Food / Re: How Many Percent Alcohol Is Consumed? by Curiouscity(m): 11:01pm On Jul 18, 2024
Kelklein:
The percentage simply means the concentration of alcohol in the drink.. if it says 6% Alcohol, the rest of the component 94% is just water. That is why you pee alot when you drink.

Even if you take one spoon, it means the percentage of that small quantity you are taking.

Beer are mostly between 3-7.5% alc
Whiskey between 17 - 42%
Vodka - 20 - 45%
Palm wine - 1 - 2% depending on how much dilution is done. Raw palm wine is only 2% alc.
Gin (ogogoro) - 30-47%
Red/White Wine - 7 - 15%

Good information you gave to the OP.

But the percentage of alcohol in palm wine is not static. It mostly depend on the fermentation stage. Raw Palm wine is continuously fermenting. That is why, if you drink freshly tapped palmie in the morning, it taste sweet. Higher level of unfermented sugar, and contain less alcohol. If that same wine is left unrefrigerated till next day, it become sour and stronger. That means high percentage of alcohol. This may continue till all the sugars are converted to ethanol (the alcohol) or/and ethanoic acid (the sour component).

Fresh Palmie is between 1-4%, sour palmie can go up to 5-6% depending on how old it is. Dilution is another factor, but only done by commercial vendors for profit purposes.

Family / Re: My Wife Insisting That Her Pastor Must officiate our child naming ceremony. by Curiouscity(m): 9:21pm On Jul 18, 2024
BlindAngel:



That's the church she was attending before we got married, so I don't want to stop her in order for it not to seems like I'm wicked and for her not to call me names.

Yesterday she reminded me that after our marriage my family forced her to do thanks giving at our church. She has been saying this for long, but stopped, until yesterday.

I told her that doing thanks giving at our church is now a bad thing or something that's forceful?

She cried a lot yesterday because of our argument of this naming.

Same tears she used in forcing me into getting married to her when I wasn't in anyway ready.

The bold part is where the mistake started. If you don't put your feet on the ground and damn the tears, then you will continue to be a tool in her hand. She will do something wrong, then cry, you will take the blame and apologize. Get a book or article on how to resist manipulations.

This one-sided post is intended to finish the man. there are various reasons for divorce and it is not a crime, even in the US, everyone what custody of their children. let the court be the judge

Not only to finish the man, but also to malign his business. The writer kept mentioning FarmFresh as if the case is the woman versus the company. It is between the man and the woman. It's common knowledge that when marriages break down (irrespective who is responsible), most women always want to eliminate the men from the planet.

Family / Re: My Cousin's Encounter With A Nigerian Single Mother by Curiouscity(m): 6:32am On May 08, 2024
wwwkaycom:
In 2018, my cousin, who resides in Germany, tragically lost his wife to cancer, leading him to contemplate a new relationship. Encouraged by one of our aunts, he began dating a single mother from Nigeria in 2021, thinking that at 52, all he needed is a mature partner such as a single mother, widow, or a mature and stable single lady.

Unfortunately, this single mother turned out to be overly focused on money and material gain. Her family, especially her mother and younger brother, viewed my cousin as their financial lifeline, demonstrating entitlement and selfishness through constant demands for money and favours. Disheartened by their behaviour, my typically reserved cousin eventually ended the relationship after several warnings.

He then found companionship with a 36-year-old unmarried university lecturer in Ekiti State, Nigeria. They married in March 2023, and he has since relocated her to Germany.

Recently, he confided in me, revealing that contrary to his previous assumptions about many Nigerian women and their families, especially considering his experience with his former single mother acquaintance, his current wife and her family have never pressured him for money. Instead, they express genuine gratitude whenever he helps them, underscoring the toxicity of his past relationship.

Unfortunately, his former partner, the single mother, has been harassing our aunt, who introduced them. She even aggressively confronted me at the front of a bank last week, falsely accusing me and our aunt of advising my cousin against marrying her. I was furious and almost considered involving the police when she threatened me, but my friend and some mature bystanders intervened, and she was eventually escorted off the premises by bank security. It was an embarrassing scene for me.

Reflecting on these events, I can't help but wonder about the audacious and self-centered individuals we encounter in today's world. It felt like something out of a Nollywood film to me. She even had the audacity to claim that we drove her "helper" away.

It's not really about being a single mother. It is no more secret that great percentage of Nigerian families see marriage as poverty alleviation program. Plus, the "abroad " factor, some ladies with the help of their families can go extra miles to get a guy they consider a meal ticket.
Go to prayer houses, babalawo houses, and many alters, you will be surprised by the number of men's pictures in those places.

Family / Re: Woman Narrates How She Survived Violence From The Husband Because Of Her Maid by Curiouscity(m): 7:07pm On Apr 24, 2024
Biglittlelois:



So the best the husband can do to defend the housemaid is to throw a glass table on a 6 month old pregnant woman resulting to serious life threatening injuries? A housemaid that stole from the wife?

I am sure as a lady, you know that most ladies are good at lying, and acting as victim after causing problems.

We should give a margin for lies on every story we read on social media, be it from man or woman.
I have seen ( not heard or read), where a women smashed their TV screen, then call the police to report that the husband broke it while hitting her.

I have been a witness to a case where the husband hid the car keys so that wife won't go for a party. The wife slap her in front of my apartment, went home to cut herself then call the police. The man was arrested, and almost got sentenced but not for the 11year old daughter's statement to the police.

I am not doubting the lady's narration, nor do I believe it 100%. But the way you are defending it, and attacking anyone who questions the veracity of the story, makes me ask, were you there?

Remember, as a man, I have sisters and a daughter. As a woman, you have brothers and possibly, a son. Let's do to others what we wish be done to us.

Nonsense! Who else is expected to sacrifice for the welfare of his own child? undecided

But you, @Kobojunkie, are one of the major promoters of "your kids are not your retirement plan". And parents shouldn't have a say in a child's life. I believe the child in question is an adult (based on legal age). Why can't the son take responsibility of his educational pursuit as done in "saner climes"?

The earlier we appreciate the uniqueness of our African culture, the better we will live. Not everything has to be done as is seen in the West.

Parents sacrifice for their children, and hope the children will in turn care for them in old age. Shekinan!

Family / Teach Your Daughter To Say No, And Accept No by Curiouscity(m): 8:23pm On Mar 08, 2024
As part of today's celebration of international women's day, I reflect on what is becoming of womanhood, and most especially as our daughters grow up to become women.

As someone what at some point dated ladies, and later got married, most women don't know how to say their minds. Even some ladies will joke that when a lady says NO, she doesn't mean it. Please, a "No" should mean NO. No ambiguity! If you like a guy, say so. If you don't, say NO, and move on. But we have ladies who say "NO" yet start sending an opposing signal to the guy. This sometimes lead to date r@pe.
Parents, please teach your daughters to say NO, and mean No.

Another plague ravaging the family structure is the inability of modern women(young ladies) to take "NO". They regard No very personal. And they can use many years to plan for a revenge for a "NO". Many ladies don't know how to handle a "No". A "NO" from parents, friends, boyfriends, husbands, or even a love interest.

Please, teach your daughters how to accept "NO". The more prepared our daughters are to say "No" and mean No, and also accept a "No", the higher their self esteem, and chances to succeed in our modern society.

Seeking External validation is a faster route to self destruction.

Mindlog:


Emotional blackmail? Wow, tell me more about it in your own words as no knowledge is a waste.

Reason a Judge needs to hear both sides of the story, he can then explain his rights to throw the wife and kids out in the street, to sleep rough.

I know some men are sometimes in a haste to throw their wives belongings out, when they have had enough, but pray you don't have to deal with a vindictive and manipulative woman. Some women will set up a scene to destroy you, and make the world to believe their stories. In a woke world of today, a woman is always innocent until proven guilty, while the man is guilty until proven innocent.

During the pandemic, my wife ask for something, I explained why we couldn't afford such at that time, that she should be patient. Few days later, the brother called me, stating how important it was to grant my wife's request. I stood my grounds knowing the financial burden her request carried. Then a week later, my brother called on same issue. I got upset, because she was involving everyone around me on an issue we could debate within 2 of us. In front of her, I told my brother that I was going to do it in future when funds are available, but with how she was going with it, I won't ever do it again. When I ended the call, she started screaming and calling the neighbors. It was about midnight. Her story was that I was physically abusing her.

Note, I am not defending any man who throws his children out, but most stories are crafted to always paint the man abusive and toxic. And sometimes we believe.
