Chai!


The most painful part is seeing the first lady sounding that way publicly....it saddens my heart to see women fighting heads on with their Hubby's mistresses.

This thing knows no age... position... exposure.. Education.... it's inbuilt and natural....the only antidote is looking away.


Jealousy would belittle you and make you feel miserable and sympathetic....once you call his attention to it and he ain't compromising...look away ..focus on you... your kids and career....karma always has a way of dealing with such people.



Get well soon Aketi.

kinah:



Locust beans
Or ogiti

The real ijebu will use ogiri.
Instead of blended pepper
Ground pepper(ata gigun)

Ok ma.

Otitipupa:


Oh I’m so sorry ma. Cold eba? Wow.
Can I substitute normal new yam for water yam?

It'd be porridge if you use normal yam but can never be Ikokore..



Water yam gave Ikokore it's uniqueness.

Otitipupa:


Thanks bro. I can eat it with eba?

Lol...I'm a lady.


It can be eaten with cold eba..some even eat it with bread.


Uniqueness of people's culture.#smiles

Otitipupa:

Well, HSPs know "too much" compared to non HSP's; it's a fact.
Naturally people who know too much can't be unnoticed, because they are bound to sound the alarm when they sense danger coming, give advice even if unsolicited, share their knowledge, etc. All of these tend to sometimes awaken jealousy and envy in some people.

One thing you must know is that, you're not responsible for what others think or feel of you. If you make it your responsibility, then you end up people pleasing all the time, and certainly this is why a lot of HSPs are miserable; because we worry so much what people think of us. We think we need to apologise for being intelligent, for being gifted, for being too incomprehensible for other people's ego.
But you didn't create yourself, you're not responsible for being a HSP. All that you need to do is to get comfortable with yourself and your gift. Accept who you are, and recognise that whatever hate you're attracting is because you've got something in you that makes others feel insecure. Learn though to not force your viewpoint on others; as a matter of fact, let your wisdom become your priced asset. Learn to give your opinion only when asked and if you so choose. Enjoy your aloneness. Do not feel guilty for minding your business and keeping to yourself if you so feel.

Wish you well

Bravo!!!


I wish I can multi-like this your response... thanks so much for being on point.


Cheers!

My question is....why do others see HSP as being proud?

They think you're forming to know too much. ...how have you guys being coping with such especially at work?

I wonder where all this women are getting the nerves to *gbe Omo oba fun osun?*

Life no balance at all....yet there's a biological father who never knew how his kids survive from infancy only cared about himself that the kids will find their dad when they finally grow up and make it?



I trust karma sha.



@the topic...op. There are many trustworthy and responsible women out there...only that men go for looks rather than quality.

So sad!

May his soul RIP.



Olorun maje ki emi mi o pin.....nigba ti ogo mi ba de. Amin

Aunty Fear God ooo!! I have watched this
movie over and over and their wasn't any Scene where the name Asiwaju was mentioned.
And as for the other names like Eruku,Eleniyan I don't think People bear those as real names in Lagos or Lagos Island for that matter.

Even those names are fictitious as it was written!!!at the Start of the movie.

Smiles


I guess you'd need to rewatch the movie...



Kazeem called himself *Asiwaju* in the last scene when Obalola called him a traitor that *Omo aiye...kii je oju aye!....he replied saying


"Kosi oruko ti won o ti pemi tan....Omo alapata...tout .. Eruku..Asiwaju nimi...mode ma joba lori gbogbo yin lEkoo yii"



Rewatch the last scene sis.....



Secondly the constant agbada and it's design worn by Kazeem rings a bell.



I just hope there'd be a part 2 to correct it.


The isale Eko is an original name also...and the almighty Eyo.


Eruku... Eleniyan is a popular slang uses originally in Isale Eko...it's not fictious ma.

Shalom

I knew it immediately after watching the movie that they're going to have little problem on the story.


It was too glaring how they used the particular names...I guess the writer never knew BAT would win the 2023 election due to the popular obedient movement.



They mentioned exact names of places... people and custom.


Isale Eko....Eyo.....Eleniyan.....Asiwaju...Eruku etc


The movie is interesting but they have to clear the air by acting a part 2 to correct every error made in part one.

I learnt that nobody on earth is perfect.... you'd always meet people better than you irrespective of your status and people wishing to be you.



Nairaland also changed me from being an ambivert to an introvert as I now think before I talk based on people's experience.


Lastly.....I learnt that not all books can be judged by their cover...the more I look....the less I see.

I want to beg Mr Seun Osewa to see to the tribal war going-on on this platform.


There's hardly a post without tribalism comments even in sections that has nothing to do with politics.



Many of these tribalist might be transferring the aggression of how bad they've been responded on here with the innocent people around them offline.



It takes a little drop of water to cause a flood.


God bless Nigeria!

Wahala...lol

It's been a long time bro.



How's life at your end?

Who will be the responsible father of her child when she conceived?



End time marriage.

Finally!!!



Congratulations Sanwo-Olu!!!

Fuckyoumod:

I don't like trading insults with people both online and offline...this is my last response to your mention.


You corrected me and I've said thank you...yet you still want to transfer aggression to me... I'm not a er of any political party ...I just quote an english idiom where necessary...... I'd just keep facing front as usual.. have a beautiful Sunday Sir.

Fuckyoumod:

Someone called my attention to this thread and I decided to start reading all over again.



I bless the name of God for the grace given to me to man-up and began this thread.



I read it to a point that I started shedding tears.


To everyone that has deemed it fit to comment... express their annoyance towards my silliness.... insulted me.... corrected and guided me to reset my factory....I want to say a very big THANK YOU for your inputs.... it's all working for good in my life Right now.




Hmmmm... life has been cruel and I've learnt the bitter lessons of not waiting for my right time to choose a life partner....I hope God sees me through all this.



I've moved on...it hasn't been easy....but I thank God for his grace to move.


I'm still teaching and raising my kids all alone....I've also started my Bsc sandwich program..


I've come to realize what peace of mind is all about... I'm not rich...but I'm comfortable and contented with the little I'm earning...my kids are also doing well.


Internet never forgets....I hope Diye and Kiishi grows up responsibly to read all my input on here....I apologize for not being able to give them a responsible Dad...


I'm sorry for my epistle...I just want you all to know that... your comments up there has been the wheels propelling my success....I pray I end well against all odds IJN.


Thanks so much for everything sirs/mas.

Congratulations

I'm surprised at the notification I got on this thread.

Secondly.....I am not bjprodint and would never be her..my only monicker since 2012 ing Nairaland was lizzyangel..I deactivated the and started using this newborn since the beginning of my predicaments.



I don't know your reason for bringing this up neither do I know you from Adam.....I just want you to be informed that I've moved on..learnt my lessons the bitter way ......used both the critics... scolding and insults gotten from here to propel the wheels of my dreams.


Kindly move on also and get over all this already..... your voice can be heard without you sending curses across too.



Shalom

If this story were to be truth..... I'd like to say the woman involved is an ingrate.
Na people like her they make men generalize on women.


She should put herself in the shoes of her husband and check how much it's going to hurt her.


Her baby daddy who was never there for 9yrs is now a saint all of sudden?



Aye le!

Peace of mind

I no run Helter skelter....I give glory to God.


Although....I never hammer

But I'm not giving up..... I'd surely get there and overcome all someday....

Hmmmmm

Very deep.


Thanks for sharing op

God bless my dad and all the RESPONSIBLE fathers out there... may you live long to eat the fruit of your làbour IJN.
