nefertitiram: Nerf I agree with you, whoever is good is good, I stayed with my bestie for 4 month with no single issue. @girlloom so sorry for ur ordeal, having unfriendly in laws is the worst thing that can happen to anyone especially when they have a strong hold on ur husband Just see if u can get the SSn blocked, and pray for restoration of peace in your marriage Nemesis will catch up with them in due time 1 Like 1 Share |

Yes o I concur! Who is good is good...my aunt in new York doesn't send at all...if you like stay 6 months they will still treat you like a Queen because she knows when it comes to birthing and all its movements it ain't easy. I can recall how she constantly spoilt my daughter with baby clothes and toys constantly...while I was there for birthing, she even sheltered & catered for the infant child of a church member who just gave birth and was rushed to the hospital. @girlloom if only you had taken the advise by @vcole and some others...I recall @madammamus repeatedly advised you shouldn't confront them unless maybe the day you are leaving. Just quietly do what you can to resolve the issue. The Lord will see you and your marriage through... nefertitiram: 4 Likes |

[quote author=girlloom post=43963572] my dear you have definitely overstayed your welcome upon all this hassles I can't believe that you can still stay. Abeg do quick and come home. All that said the deed has already been done you have made a lot of mistakes and I pray you learn from them. They say experience is the best teacher.i guess you took JW advice to be civil and ask them politely but considering their antecedent you should have been able to imagin their response. JW gave his advice from a man's point of view but when it comes to in-law issue women are the gurus to follow. Like the Yoruba saying goes when a child does not have a cutlass in his hands he does not ask what killed his father if not it is what killed his father that will also kill him. When you knew you were not ready to leave the house you shouldn't have confronted them. You sef you get mind oooo. Like you were adviced if it's possible just block the SSN and keep quiet about it until you get home. Remember in- laws are people you will live with for the rest of your life.besides men are very emotional when it comes to their family. There is nothing really strange in what you have experienced with those people. When they accommodate you they feel they have done you all the favour in this life. When I went to birth I stayed with a family and I virtualy became the house help. The whole family will wake up eat break fast and dump the dishes when they all leave I will carry my big belle to the kitchen wash all the dishes including the ones from the previous night dinner then clean every where before they come back.this is a family with teenage children but I had already prepared my mind for that. At least I was doing it in return for the small bed in the small 'cabin' they gave me which is not even as big as my BQ back home.but the truth of the matter is what you call a cabin for them is a palace. When my husband came in we just used style look for a comfortable apartment and told them we needed more space. When we were leaving they were almost begging us to stay.i think it's better that way now I can go visiting any time I want to. 6 Likes |

hmm. the people saying she should have taken the advice of going straight to the IRS. hmm, this husband/ wife relationship is already strained from what she has said. if he is reacting like this to a mere confrontation imagine how he will react if she had gone ahead report his sister for fraud and possibly lead to them having a criminal record. what do we honestly think will become of the relationship between husband and wife? After all said and done i believe she is still interested in the marriage so its important, infact strike that VERY IMPORTANT to thread with caution. I just hope that during the shouting match or confrontation she made it clear to them that the social security will be flagged, so that way they have been warned, if they decide to proceed it will be at their peril. 7 Likes 1 Share |

nefertitiram: Very true.. My wife stayed with her family for nearly 4 months... her family were so nice.. They even gave us their car to use plus gas money sometimes sef. They bought so many gifts for our baby and gave her plenty money.. before we left we opened an account for her with nearly $2k in there. Some people naturally just have bad attitudes. 7 Likes |

Hello house, please I have a question, I have written to the immigration about my change of intent as acquired visa for vacation and now want to birth in the U.S.. I have also changed by point of entry to Arizona as host in North Carolina says she is traveling to Nigeria at d time I am due. Is it important to send an email to the immigration or is it enough that I have an appointment and also a family friend in Arizona? It is my first time in the U.S., please advise me, thanks all. |

donugapi: Key word here being HER family nefertitiram: Key word here being Your own cousin truth is with inlaws, very few are exceptions. I stayed with my sis inlaw during my first missionary journey for 12 weeks / 3 months. she was very nice. she and her husband did everything for me including all dr's appointment and even stayed in the labor room with me. However your house isn't your house. No matter how nice or nasty anyone is 4 months is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. As you are getting tired of them (which is normal and inevitable), i believe they are also getting tired of you (which is normal and inevitable) For my second missionary journey my total waka was just 7 weeks but i stayed on my own. the difference was 7up. I Slept when i wanted to, without fear of being judged as lazy. ate when i wanted to, starved when i wanted to. I basically did things my way and at my pace. Bliss mehn 19 Likes |

[quote author=TheLeakyTribe post=43959291 This girls story is a very familiar one. A few years ago my mum had one of these girls fron across the border. One hot afternoon she just disappeared into thin air and they found out she left with all my mums trinkets worth almost a million.. Alas the following morning she came back after the agent that brought her had been arrested. She said she was hypnotized by some guys she met the previous week when mum sent her on an errand across the street.unfortunately we did not act fast so they could not get the things back you know NPF and their egunje syndrome. So please tell your husband to follow up immediately and 'mobilize ' the police. They can be very good at things like that when you 'Mobilize' them. 2 Likes |

Please i need advice on this. I am off for my missionary journey in few days. I intend to travel with 5k and want to go with my master card and print account statement in the sum of like 1.4 million in case i am being questioned on how much i have at the POE. the challenge i have is the money is not yet in my account but hubby wants to transfer it to my account. my passport bear different name with my husband because i got it before i was married. May there be any issue of who transferred such huge amount to my account few days to my trip if they discovered a lump sum was transferred or i need not worry about the bank statement but just the account balance? Thank please advise. |

My dear with all that has happened, I think you need to (pretend) to apologise to ur sis inlaw and husband. Act like you no nothing and very naive, really apologise while working to leave their place fast! Then like has been said earlier do the needful and report to appropriate quarters to get the ssn protected so these corrupt nija pple can't use it or suffer for trying to use it. All this while, u keep mute about what u've done possibly even to ur hubby cos it's seems they want to affect the peace of ur marriage so no give them chance! Sometimes men can add sentiment to my sister, my mother matter so u have to tread carefully. If they use it and get into trouble for it, let them explain to ur hubby or family what they did behind ur back with the ssn that caused their problem cos u no know nothing about their problem, that will teach them not to do criminal things! All in all take care of u and take things easy! girlloom: |

HutleyR:No u don't need to. Visa was acquired for vacation. U didn't use it but changed the intent. That means your whole plans changed and I suppose locations as well. The key is to have proof of final destination and ability to pay ALL your bills. However if I may ask, were u pregnant when u got the visa? Were u asked? What was the time difference between your interview and the pregnancy? Those are the issues that may pose serz issues |

@girloom the moment I read that you exchanged words with your MIL, a chunk of the sympathy I had left. Yoruba people say, ile oko, ile eko ni (your matrimonial home is where you learn good behaviour).. I might sound terrible to you right now, but imagine your younger brothers wife exchanging words with your mother under your roof.. Would you hug her and take her to dinner afterwards? As a woman, you have to learn patience. Not every war is won by confrontations. Some are won by silence. Yes, it hurts, but knowing when to speak at times saves nine. I am sure you know your husband and from the little I have read, his family is important to him than his wife. The moment a man threatens you with divorce, you need to start evaluating your worth to that man and most importantly, what values the man attach to his home. At that point, you should have learnt how to thread carefully. Your SIL might have attitude and as such it might be killing you.. You could have easily evaluated your position and know how to chose your battles wisely. Silence is golden especially for a woman. I think now, you should let your family know what you are going through, if they can raise cash for you, great! Pack your bags and leave that house. If your husband calls to divorce you because you sort for your own sanity, give him a clap on the phone and let him do as he pleases. To me, all is not fair with such threats in a marriage. 2) before you leave, apologise to your SIL for the disagreement (makes you look like a fool and cheated yea?, it's a game plan) thank her for the hospitality and bounce. Don't look back 3) head to social security office to log your complains and either ask for another card or a Pin for the one you have 4) inform your husband about the change in the number or that you have obtained a Pin for it. I am sure he will mention it to his sister. If they go ahead to use it and end up in jail, that's their cup of tea 5) Pray! That's the greatest weapon a woman has. I wish you the best of luck 40 Likes 4 Shares |

TheLeakyTribe: Like seriously...... Okay! Time also matters cos all these might be planned. If the time for all these activities could be confirmed, then we can relate with her story. She claimed she gave them her money first, b4 they directed her to where yours is......try figure that out if it coincides. Then where exactly did she hand her phone over to them including the money? When did they carry her around? I think they have a meeting point then cos from the story, these didn't happen in one day, and where was she trying to run to coming back for her things. Don't let her words confuse u abeg, I don't blieve in her jazz story 1 Like |
