Family / Re: I Want To Leave My Matrimonial Home by Ephort: 12:02am On Aug 19
ojobolinda:
I regret getting married. My marriage is just a year old.
I can't go into details but the bottom line is, I am not divorcing just want a separation.
Reason for my decision
1) I hate sex where as my husband loves it. I have being unable to satisfactory fulfill my conjugal duties to him. I can stay a year without sex and I am happy but its unfair to my husband because he loves sex. We quarrel about it often.

2) Where we are living is affecting my mental health and I pleaded with him for us to relocate but he refused.

There are more which I can't type because it will make the post lengthy

I want to live apart from my husband and his family. I just want to move to another state and stay alone, all by myself. Marriage is not for me. I don't want my parent to know about it too because they wouldn't approve of it ( I have always given them this impression that I am happy in my marriage).

I am currently pregnant and we both agreed he will have custody of the child when he is born.

I just want to know if I will regret my action in the long run

First seek professional assistance. There are many online and offline psychotherapists and counsellors. You need to address the root of your problem instead of focusing on the symptoms. You may be battling with childhood trauma (separated parents, childhood abuse, neglect, or maltreatment, etc.). You may also have some depressive tendencies. I was in your husband's position, and it is, I must say, a terrible place to be.
Family / Re: Should I Break Up With My Girlfriend Because She Failed Her Waec? by Ephort: 11:35pm On Aug 18
Jejesamzy:


About this class of a thing... She was really scared of dating me then because she put so much emphasis on class this and class that...

She said that she knows that we are not in the same class... And I always told her not to think like that... I have been helping her with books, maths and other corrections... But the thing is that she is not just book smart.

It is really confusing for me

Bro, I'm gon' be honest with you, all I'm seeing is a man who is about to add more weight on his weak shoulders to his detriment. The problem is that you, like most men, are inclined to pick girls who are lacking in some fundamental areas and require some "work". These men end up picking a girl that is dysfunctional, volatile, emotionally immature, depressed, lazy, poor, traumatized, temperamental, or mildly retarded, with the hope that after improving her life, you will get more love and her absolute loyalty in exchange.
Then, your contribution to her improvement becomes the leverage you use to induce her submission and dependence. This usually does not work out, especially given that you both dont have the same level of emotional maturity or operating at the same wavelength.
At the end, she may pull you down. Again, you don't get to truly know a partner who you have an advantage over until the advantage is gone.

In the matter of relationship, emotional compromise/attachment is men's greatest undoing. My advice: Don't be the looser "nice guy" that dies rescuing the damsel in distress. Be the real and authentic guy that knows and goes for what he wants.
Health / Re: My Sister Has A Mental Illness by Ephort: 7:39am On Jun 04
AmiableMosquito:
He's right. Schizophrenia is usually the number 1 culprit.
I have a sibling who's suffering from this too. Please visit a good psychiatric hospital. Truly, the drugs they administer (usually Olanzapine or Risperidone or a few others) usually cause them to sleep and eat a lot. But if you look at it, sleeplessness is usually the first sign whenever that episode begins. So she needs to be sleeping well.

Also, forget about all these people that are talking about one alter or the other. It doesn't really help. Let her be using her drugs and be praying for her with faith instead of taking her from one church to another. We learnt the hard way.

Finally, those with schizophrenia don't like taking their drugs, so you guys should find a means to always ensure she takes her medication as at when due. Sudden withdrawal from the drug has its side effect and the relapse is usually terrible.

There are many prominent people including present and ex governors, ex ministers etc that are living with this illness but using their drugs and living a normal life. I just can't mention names here.

Finally, you guys should avoid anything that will trigger her like yelling at her or making her feel less loved.
May God grant her a speedy healing. Amen


OP, read this post again. I have nothing much to add. My wife has a similar challenge (schizo-affective disorder). The earlier you seek a good medical solution, the better. Yes, they don't like taking drugs, and are highly illogical, paranoid, etc. Do not discontinue medication for any reason, even when she starts getting well. Mental issues take long to heal and drug discontinuation is gradual. If not, it'll resurface. Again, whether you take her to the church or not, never stop her medication!! Good luck.

Topman7:
They are silent because they remember Peter Obi was the loudest critic of fuel subsidy who promised to remove it on the first day of his presidency, if elected.

So we would be in this situation even if he was president, and they know it.

That’s why they are silent.

The problem is not subsidy removal but gross corruption and crony capitalism that your Tinubu cannot do without.

Education / Re: Studying Law Becoming Useless In Nigeria?? by Ephort: 7:31am On Jul 29, 2023
Blackdeewhy:
If you study law in Nigeria and you don't want to die in poverty do any of these:

1. Get your masters and apply to schools (assistant lecturer) preferably university.

2. Do your masters in librarianship and become a law librarian

Wishing you the best 💯

Are you for real? Lecture with peanuts - when lawyers are cashing out in corporate practice. All you require is to choose a particular industry, sector, or subsector and hone your legal skills in it.

are you getting it for work or normal use?
do you have a family?
what kind of cars do you like?
your maintenance culture.

It's for work - leaving the house in the morning and returning in the evening. I currently use Honda EOD 2003 which is still sound and performing but would love to upgrade. I'm thinking Toyota or Lexus.

FromZeroToHero:
According to section 5 subsection 4 of the 1999 constitution as amended.

The vice president should act as the president and senate president when the president and the senate president are not around.

So there was a time Obasanjo travelled with Anyim Pius for an official assignment in London.

So Atiku automatically became the acting President and Senate president.

Front page please.

What is this? Which constitution are you talking about? At such instance, the deputy senate president takes over.
Why are you guys trying so hard to repackage a bad product?

Career / Re: I Find It Difficult To Save Money And Its Becoming An Addict Every Payday by Ephort: 11:18am On Dec 05, 2022
Simple advice:
*Don't save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.

*Have a separate savings account with no ATM card or mobile app. This will limit your access to the money.

*Delay your expenses. Don't buy anything impulsively and delay your unplanned expenses by at least 48 hours.

Good luck

Properties / Re: Lawyers I need your advice:My landlady crossing her boundry. by Ephort: 12:14pm On Nov 26, 2022
Ikamandoncome:


I told them before January 1st I will come and back my things,by December ending,but they are not accepting that.

Are you paying for the extra months, or you believe it's your right to occupy someone's property without paying for the use? Divide your rent and pay fir the extra months.
Properties / Re: Lawyers I need your advice:My landlady crossing her boundry. by Ephort: 12:13pm On Nov 26, 2022
Even the grace period is not free. You pay up to the time you last spent. Yes, quit notice is for six months which ends when your rent shou expire, not additional after expiration. Any day you spend above your tenancy period can be recovered from you by the Landlord as a mesne profit.

You are the one trying burn the bridge.

Solution, be wise and negotiate with the Landlady. Pay for the number of extra months you desire to stay, and leave peacefully bro.

It will be very unbecoming of him if it is established that he (a regulator) has interest in one of the regulated entities. This is unheard of, but not surprising in such a country like ours.

I took mine yesterday with no symptoms, only to wake up this morning with tiredness, minor aches and slight fever. These have subsided now.
I took the jab not because I was afraid of Covid-19 given my age, but to not intermediate and pass it on to the elderly ones around, especially those that have refused to get vaccinated, including my mum.
