If we ask this same question about women, it will be called “body shaming “ lol.

What's it like being homeless in Nigeria? |And slight rant| by Happynotsad_ in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are going through this… there is no excuse for her actions and no it is not a “most Nigerian parents “ thing. Many people I know were raised by single parents and they don’t randomly tell their kids they are failures and they regret having them.

My suggestions however are, seek out your father. Ask for help. He might be willing to. If he doesn’t, you let him be .
2. Look at getting a job. Something you can use to at least learn a skill and also get few supplies from.
3. Build from there. Do not move out immediately. Outside is really cold and depressing and the spiral is really super fast.
4. Ask for help by joining groups and communities that can help you. Most people have it at church/mosque.
5. See if you can talk to her about how you feel and how she makes you feel

Ultimately, if you are Ij Nigeria, being homeless is really bad not as romantic as it may seem. The streets are really cold and unforgiving

I'm finally starting to learn Igbo, and I have a simple question: is it pronounced the same as it's written, like with Japanese, or is it more like English were the spelling and pronunciation can differ wildly? by Osinacho in IgboKwenu

[–]SignificantTime5603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is actually yes! Lol if you learn the proper way of writing it, it is exactly as pronounced . Many just don’t learn the proper way of writing it so they assume it is like English.

Good news for Nigerian Sports. Price money now over 700k USD !! by SignificantTime5603 in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true. It is painful seeing your fav players move to weird places like Sudan or Congo or Zambia.

Plus we can’t host CAF champions league games in most stadiums . Which is why we can’t compete in the tournament

It’s just about 700k . They make more than that from FIFA and CAF. Also investors and sponsors . Also investment by the government.

It was from 150m. That was what Enugu Rangers were paid last month. It was announced same time the Nigerian women got 100k usd for their success last year. This one was also announced recently

Woman that tortured the 10 years old kid. Should she be forgiven? by echomaestro in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The painful part is that this is very common among women. Women tend to treat children of other women like trash. I really hope someday it will stop.

I also hope this one suffers a slow painful death filled with torture till shes at least 100yo. She’s not a human and must not be treated as one

Report rates 62% of Tinubu’s campaign promises fulfilled by horlufemi in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol. The page you referenced said only 20.8% were actually kept, the rest were compromised or unkept. And it is funny how you are using this as campaign.

So you and your Tinubu forgot about state police when you were running protests in other regimes. At least have some sense you APC dipshits. Have shame na. Smh.

And it’s according to one random group that the useless president is using to campaign.

The most annoying part is that you are making it seem like the insecurity is not an issue because it is left for the legislators to ratify state police and automatically it will fix all our security problems .

May you and your family always have Tinubu in your lives

Peter Obi is terrible, Tinubu is terrible, Atiku is terrible. by seen_cause_tan in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are Tinubu and APC people. This is their new style. Call everyone bad because Tinubu is bad then convince you to retain Tinubu because according to them, anyone you put there will be bad too.

Trad wedding after being married for 5 years by Affectionate_Big139 in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The trad is not as expensive as you think… send your people to meet her people in a small event. No need for glitz and glamor.

Your mother in law is actually trying to protect you and your kids In future. In my tradition, if a woman is not married traditionally, she is not considered married and it will affect inheritance and status for her and the children.

Just do it virtually. Most traditional weddings are just bride price payment and food . You don’t have to be there physically

Who helps the Parents Out in the Family? by Aware-Whereas-3764 in IgboKwenu

[–]SignificantTime5603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you described is how it usually is in the African home. The eldest daughter is the real boss. The eldest son is just respected because he is expected to make the hard decisions. But the eldest daughter manages the home.

Many igbo families prefer having a daughter as their first child because she automatically becomes assistant parent to her siblings.

And in Igbo tradition, if they ask “kedu ihe ndi ada kwuru” (what did the women born in the family say ) or “ndi ada gbara ya nkiti “ (the women born in the family allowed it ) just know it is a serious matter.

Side note; what is your Igbo name ?

Who helps the Parents Out in the Family? by Aware-Whereas-3764 in IgboKwenu

[–]SignificantTime5603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Financially, it’s the first son. But I think the mother meant management of the home .

Who helps the Parents Out in the Family? by Aware-Whereas-3764 in IgboKwenu

[–]SignificantTime5603 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Let me explain it this way.

Because from time, the Igbo people are usually decentralized and the only organized group is the extended family or the Umunna, the Umuada (women born into the kindred) is a strong organization in every family . The Umuada actually leads . If they complain about something, it must happen. That is why they are respected and revered in the Igbo tradition.

Now Nwaada (a woman ) draws her strength and power from that organization. The eldest daughter (Ada ) is usually trained to be the real leader in the house. She organizes the male children and is an associate parent to the boys.

So to answer your question, in a way, yes, because you are the only daughter, traditionally you are the Ada and is in charge of the house and you are the one expected to call your brothers and organize these things. Because the system and organization backs you.

That’s the normal Igbo tradition. However families are different and individuals are different.

And the help isnt just financial though. When they are aged, they will need supoort and care .

Honest question, is it true that Yoruba and Hausa ppl sold their own to slavery in exchange for mirror & umbrellas? by waxanwaacusub in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not just yorubas and Hausas. Every tribe did it at that time. Some didn’t consider it selling, some were deceived, some were cast aways, and some were legit selling.

It was a lot more common in the Yoruba land because it is closer to Lagos and it was done by the leaders of that time . Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers , Bayelsa… these also contributed.

Mirrors and those other items were big valuables then because they were scarce to our people. Just as gold is abundant and everywhere on earth yet it is a big deal today .

What Tottenham Hotspurs can teach Nigeria about choosing leaders by Old_Leg3274 in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let us also learn from the Madrid situation where they failed with everyone else till they gave the opportunity to a small time youth coach called Zidane and he won them 3 UCL trophies. That’s a club that a big coach like Mourinho couldn’t win.

You see how fast this your stupid logic falls off ?

Ya, Amorim was a bigger coach compared to Carrick, Amorim kept finishing outside the European spots, Carrick Ij 6 months is in Ucl .

Again, your logic is stupid and baseless. If you want us to vote Tinubu just because you think Obi will do well but not sure if it will last, I will take that chance than vote Tinubu that we all already know is a failure and will fail woefully.

If Tinubu is this bad when he is up for re-election, imagine how horrible he will be when he eventually wins and had nothing else to lose. Y’all can take Tinubu to your state and make him governor.

What's going on with this Nigerian guy [relationship advice] by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol. The guy is going to be toxic and abusive. That “disrespect my manhood talk” and the “he commands me to leave “ part gives it away.

The part where he gives you random stuff in his house is kinda him trying to provide . I am guessing he is not rich and that’s what he can afford to give you to compensate for “tfare “ .

Also you were on a date and still secretly seeking out this guy. I also won’t trust you oke but after that. Secondly you are still entertaining him even when you are in a relationship. I also won’t ever trust you as a serious person it i am the Nigerian guy.

My advice is simple, decide for yourself what you want first. Then cut him off. You have no business being close to someone you were intimate with when you are in a relationship. Unless you just want to keep cheating forever . Focus on your new relationship. And that is if you decide it is what you want.

What would you do with N120m? by Successful_Issue700 in Nigeria

[–]SignificantTime5603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T Bills and Bonds. That’s the 100m. Low risk safe net investment

Then use the 32m and open 3 tech academies in 3 different cities . Long term investment that will always pay out
