NEW RELATIONSHIPS.
Hi Stella mama.
Please I will like you to share my story on your blog for advice from you and fellow BVs.
Please I will like you to share my story on your blog for advice from you and fellow BVs.
I will be 30years old next week, I had a lovely son (my world) in my first year in University, not like my child was born out of mistake though but things dint just work between the dad and i. Stels, am still very sexy even after childbirth, most of my mates dint even know I was pregnant back then in school talk more of having a child. My son is almost the same height as me now, am so proud of him. He was 11years last month.
I met this other guy (37years now) while doing my youth service in the Eastern part of we country. We were friends before we started a relationship. I told him about me been a single mom and everything he needed to know about me.
I was retained at my place of primary assignment after service though on contract with merger stipend while my boyfriend was still on job hunt, he would come to my office to while away time as he was always bored a home and depression was even started to set in for him. I always assisted him in every little way I could financially.
I was retained at my place of primary assignment after service though on contract with merger stipend while my boyfriend was still on job hunt, he would come to my office to while away time as he was always bored a home and depression was even started to set in for him. I always assisted him in every little way I could financially.
I introduced me to his family and also met some of my people too. There was a day I used my son’s picture for a dp on my bbm, the younger sister who was in my contact list saw it and told every member of the family of my child. My guy wasn’t happy about it, I thought I should have kept it a secret.
Well, a year later he got a good paying job with his uncles’s connection and that’s when he totally changed behaviourally. He won’t call or return my calls, he’s always forming busy which am very sure he’s not. This guy travelled out of the country for weeks without telling me, he just simply kept a distant, we weren’t even in talking terms and that’s how the relationship faded out even though I made efforts to make it work.
Two months later, we came back together again somehow but I noticed change in his attitudes as if been forced to be in the relationship. I confronted him many times to know what the problem is until he later opened up.
His reason for disappearing was the fact that i am a single mom which is a stumbling block between us. I was like fine but I told you from the onset. We ended the relationship that day. Eight months later, what did I see? Its my bf’s wedding invite.
He actually sent me an invite.
Many weeks later, he’s asking to still be friends with me, like seriously?I Am the type that once I date you and we break up, I don’t ever want to have anything to do with you..Am I being too harsh?.I Am seeing someone now, should I tell him about my child? I Am confused. No insult pleaseeeeeeeeee. Stella please help me to summarise it and edit any mistake..Thank you my love .
The boo that dumped you and went off with someone else because you are a baby mama,please forget being friends with him cos the next thing he will say is that he misses you and made a wrong choice and he will wanna continue from where he stopped,ignore his ''olive branch'' please..HEEDIOT!
As for the new boo,tell him now,if he loves you,let him stay,if not let him walk,your child is the most important thing in your world,do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
All these ladies rushing off to be baby mamas una dey see?The society you live in frowns at it and there are consequences,una no dey hear!Mscheeew!

NARRATIVE NUMBER TWO
GETTING A JOB BEFORE GETTING MARRIED IS IMPORTANT?
Madam Stella, sure you are enjoyed your Easter time out....Mine was the worst of all because I have so many issues on my table. Don't even know where to start but let me start by saying.I Am lady of 30yrs of age, born into the family of 4 but lucky to be the last born. We are not well to do in my family but my parents ensure we have good and quality education and we all graduated with good grades, but thing that keeps me confused is that no 1 has been able to secure job before and after marriage because we are all girls, now been the only one left in the house my father is standing on the ground that I must secure job even if it will take me years before approving my marriage.
Boo and his family aren't cool with that because he has been waiting for years for me to finish school and since i finished I am yet to secure a job. I know my Dad has a point about the work ish but boo is saying he can't even wait till middle of this year not to talk of the whole year because this year makes it 10yrs of our relationship together and age is no longer on my side too...
Please I need advice on what to do and as well plead with any Bv's that can help me with a good job. I will be grateful if my request is granted.
If it is advice you want you will get it,I do not know about anyone giving you a job here,keep your fingers crossed and keep checking in house news,who knows!
As for your dad,does he bear the responsibility of your other sister's marriage?
Are they living well?what does the man you want to marry work as?Is he financially stable?..Your dad might be trying to salvage a broke ass situation.
If Boo can help you out with establishing a business then fine.I dont know abeg!
All the best oh!
Please anyone with contact of any company in lagos in need of someone to manage their staff canteen, please contact me (please ask for PG'S contact through Stella) I'm available and very efficient.
ReplyDeleteP.G.
Today , I'm with Stella all the way!
Delete@poster 1,if your write-up isnt one sided;then i think its very rude of him giving you an invite to his wedding considering the fact that he was the one who made things not to work out between you both..cos he knew you were A baby mama at first but still insisted on dating you just to make use of you finally...alldsame;dont bear grudges towards him but just ignore whatever it is he is saying now....
DeleteAbout your Lover now;dont make the mistake of not telling him..true love will always see beyond you being a "Baby mama" and he would surely stick with you irrespective of your status(baby mama or not)....soo just tell him and watch his reaction....
@Poster No 2;ask your father the reason why he has this strong decision for your marriage to ever take place..
There is A saying that what an adult sees why sitting down;a child cant see it even if he/she climbs at the top of A tree..
Just have A discussion with him and know what his plans are...

I can understand parents who insist that u finish ur education before marriage, but can't fathom one that insists that after school u must get a job before marriage. What's up with that? If u were a guy I would understand, but as a lady he's truncating ur chances of getting married at the right time. Is it after u lose out with a man uv dated for 10 years, and u now get a job with no man, that ur dad will suddenly realise that atimes destiny isn't a respecter of protocol? Like others asked, I also wish to know his reasons.
DeletePoster 1. That ur ex is a monkey. Tell him sisi eko says so. Like seriously? Blatant nonsense
Poster 1, Don't be friends with him, he is not a good person, that's the truth.... Tell this new guy about your son.
DeletePoster 2, I believe popsy is just being superstitious, talk to him, get married. If the bf leaves and marries someone else, you know it won't be his fault right? So talk to popsy, whine him wella, you'll get a job, you will.
Poster1 forget ur ex totally abeg,den tell ur new boo abour ur son b4 irs too late,
ReplyDeletePoster2,did u say 10yrs?make ur papa for money to set up business
********LONG LIVE SDK & SDKERS*********
Poster1 the society we live in,hates baby mama,infact they don't want to hear of it,most parents won't allow their son marry a baby mama,baby mama is for baby daddy or a divorce or widower,even some of these people I mentioned will still prefer single woman not a baby mama,tell your man about your son,@ the long run you will see someone that will accept your baggage
ReplyDeletePoster2 ten years in a relationship,is all I saw,and I don't have anything to tell you
Her son isn't baggage abeg. No hard feelings.
DeletePoster1 Plz tell the man you have a son. Or are you ashamed of your baby? Let me tell you boyfriends it husbands will come and go but children are all a woma have at the end of the day so please tell him and he should tell his family too. If they want to walk then they should fly out.
DeletePoster 2 since your father is so interested in your well being and financial stability kindly tell him to give u a huge capital to start up a business
Ahh tayan y call her son baggage, no one is above mistake.
DeleteThis small girl with her attention seeking picture calling someone's child baggage. Let me just pass this one. If you knew better you would comment with tact and sense
DeleteNa baggage
DeleteWatch "BAGGAGE" show by Jerry springer, "Dating by revealing ur baggage. Such falls under baggage.
Anything can be baggage as long as it doesn't fall within the norm (standard or model or pattern regarded as typical) of african home.
Nigerians and their chicken feed mentality! Whether u like it or not, that's her baggage, being a baby mama. Una no dey watch "Baggage for dstv?
DeleteStone age faggots,after u'll claim to be educated.'Baggage' (literally ) thats hw she meant it.
Delete@poster 1 pls don't hide the fact ur a single mum from ur present guy, tell him the truth, he should take u for who u re, being a single mum isn't a death sentence, y do society tag single mum as bad? It can happen to anyone, pls also stay away from ur ex.
ReplyDeletePoster 2 getting a job is good but if u can do a business y not try one, that wud give u enough time for ur family, cos u wud be the boss lady
P2, empower yourself before u get married.
DeleteTell the new guy about your son. Forget that your ex,He is not a man but a pussy!
ReplyDeletePoster 2....your story ain't complete, I guess your boo is not stable financially That's Why your father wants you to get a job.
What if her sisters' husbands are maltreating or cheating them because they don't have jobs and are completely dependent and her father doesn't want the same fate for his last child? He might not be able to step into certain situations because the other daughters are married now but he wants to avoid similar mistakes with this last daughter. There might even be some things going on with the other sisters that the poster doesn't know about but the father does and is trying to avoid for her. ....... Just guessing o. But poster, please heed your father's words. Even if you don't get employed in a company, start some kind of business for yourself and make sure you have sufficient income coming in for you.
DeleteAnty Stella can advice for Africa! What else can I say? @ posters kindly take anty Stella's advice!
ReplyDelete'Anty' Stella bawo??? Eh Anty brown sugar! Na ur mama sister abi papa sister afi? Simple instruction una no go take o ga ooo
DeleteIf he waited 10years what is one more year? Abeg he should rest joor and try and get u a job shikenan
Delete@anon 16:16
DeleteI get what you are trying to say. I am also aware that communication is your major problem.
Thanks for the correction!
I'm also not your papa/mama sister!
Let me read comments.
ReplyDeletePoster 1: Tradition still frowns at single mamas.
ReplyDeletecorrect girls with no babies dey find it hard to get husband not to talk of single mamas. am sure if you are really wealthy, the stupid man would not have minded that. sorry for the pain and drop him like a hot shit.
secondly let the other man you are dating know. to get pikin before marraige no be curse oooo. many are looking for it.
poster 2: you have stayed 10 years in the relationship, le boo says he cannot wait.
why dont you beleive that if you get married, you will get a job soonest.
what does your man do. if he can sustain both of you why not and get married or your father wants to turn you to AUNTY GWEGWEGWE.
We know why our sisters marry and become punching bags. One girl is here saying someone's father is trying to turn her to aunty gwegwe or whatever crass nonsense you just said. Don't get something doing apart from being with a man, be there since aunty whatever is what you want to avoid. Mrs Liability is better than Aunty Gwe with something to offer. All these girls sef
DeletePoster 1 - that your so called boo is bad news & do not make the mistake of remaining friends with him... For what kwanu? To what end? Since he feels you are not good enough to wife, erase him out of your life cos the ediot wants to eat his cake & still have it so don't be stupid enough to fall into that evil trap. Tell him to face his brand new wife & threaten to report him to her if he disturbs you again. He is forming holy after all your sacrifices abi? When you were supporting him your status didn't bother him abi? I pray karma visits him (make e b that his new wife don do countless abortions)
ReplyDeleteAlways be open with your status, there is nothing shame full about it. As far as am concerned, you are better than the girls that do serial abortions all in a bid to answer good girl. The man that will love & accept you & your son will surely locate you.
Poster 2- What your Father is seeing sitting down, if you like climb the highest tree you won't see it. One of the worst things a woman will do to her self is to get married without a source of income (even if the man is a billionaire) you want to get married then look for a job? What if after the marriage he refuses, gets you pregnant on a yearly basis & turns you to a complete house wife? He waited till you finished school, waiting for a few more months won't kill him. If the white collar job is not forth coming, learn a skill & make it lucrative. Maybe your father is supporting your elder ones financially in their marriage & does not want history to repeat it self with you
....poster 2,u don't need us to advice u to get a means of livelihoods before u get married!cant u see the sob stories of housewives on dis blog everyday?most of them would have left dose bad marriages if they had money.give urself brain abeg.
DeletePoster 1, pls start raining curses on him now now now. Abi ewo losi gan. Its not enough he broke up with u for a flimsy excuse, he still wants to rub pepper on d injury.
ReplyDeletePoster 2, u are 30. If u know u love dis guy and feel he loves u too, u better find a way to make Ur dad allow d wedding, get relatives to make him see reason. I'm not sure you'd like ppl on dis blog to start calling u aunty gwegs.
Ololoooooo
DeletePray,
DeleteFind out from your dad what he is really thinking, analysis may have shown that the intended groom has portrayed himself as below par in selfless giving.
Gather seed money for skills acquired /business idea between you and bobo.
Pray (100% financial dependency on a spouse no be am to be truthful)
You or your child should be able to see snacks or items you want and not have to crack head over how you can get such.
It's painful to see women with toddlers looking sad or lost because N 50 item is "luxury".
How many men are continously selfless in giving? That is why some insults like " am I an ATM" are more painful when you have no source of income and all you needed was a item of little cost!
Poster 1, why would you keep your child a secret? Any man who wouldn't accept your son isn't worth it abeg. Some men though. Abeg, that your ex no be am at all. Friends ko, fiend ni. You see why some women don't want to struggle with a man. Na wah o
ReplyDeleteP1, there us no sin or harm being a single mother. Some single mums are just circumstances beyond ones power. He never loved you for keeps, trust me. P2, they said, wetin old person see weh him siddon pikin no fit see even if he carry ladder. God will get you a job asap even before you know it.
ReplyDeleteposter1/don't ever be friends with that ur ex,he wants to continue gbenshing ur punani
ReplyDeleteWhat a faggot !
As for ur new bobo tell him ho ha about ur status if he go stay make he stay if nt make him waka pass...
Posster2/Na wah o ! Am short of words...pls just explain to ur dad,that marriage might open doors of good job for you and your sisters.
Also pray very well that your fiancee should not run outta patience cos girls are everywhere nd they are not smiling.
#allthebest
He should go now.
Deletewaiting for good comments
ReplyDelete#2...it's simple...if ur boo can't wait he n his family should get u a job. Ur popsy doesn't want u to experience wat many ppl write on Chronicles here,u shld be grateful he doesn't want u to suffer in ur hubby's house.
ReplyDeleteU def understand too, p2 just thank God fr ur dad.
Delete@poster1 : that guy never liked you
ReplyDeleteHe was just whiling away time with you, so 4get being friend with him cause he just used n dump you.
@poster2 : I understand what you dad is trying to avoid but what happens if the job is not forth coming?
If your boo is capable of opening something 4 y while you keep searching for job,then u talk to your dad about it.
Your dad should chill a bit
Poster 2, if he cannot wait he should give you making sense money to begin a business. If he as waited 10 years why can't he wait till you get a job. If he does not have money for business, he should help you look for a job. Simple. My parents did the same to me and today I have no regrets. I work in a multinational same with my boo and life is so sweet. Pls don't rush to marry all because some guy wants you to settle down. When you see bills, you will understand better. I have lots of friends that got married jobless and till today regret it. If you don't have a job, start a business or provide service that will fill the gap. Ihope you take the advice here.
ReplyDelete@Poster 1: Having a child is not an impediment to a blissful relationship. Let him walk and dont accept his olive branch........ Keep him at bay.
ReplyDelete@ Poster 2 - Elders can always see sittiing what you do not see standing. Your dad is right. U never know what could happen..... I pray the job comes soon. In the interim, you could keep yourself busy with skills and when your dad sees you are able to stand on your own will give you out in marriage happily. He is only looking out for you....
Putting on my
thinking
Poster 1 your ex is now history,dont let him into your life again. Concentrate on your new boo and please let him know you have a child,if he is the one for you,things will fall into place.
ReplyDeleteDont be discouraged because of your child,God will give you some one that will appreciate you and your child.
Poster 2 personally, i prefer being independent because no two marriages are the same. While Some Men will give without complaining, some may not.
Maybe your father is not comfortable with the way things are with your sisters and he wants change for you.
Two of you should meet your father and talk to him to allow you get married.make him see reasons with you biko 10yrs of relationship abughi “asu anwuru”.
If he gives his consent,don't fold your arms @home,engage your self with small business no matter how small.
Its good to have your own money
1. Pls forget about your ex and tell your new guy about your child. What will be, will be. Its better now than later.
ReplyDelete2. Your dad may be seeing what you can't see at the moment and he's not wrong in his decision. Talk to your mum to help you talk to him so that your marriage preparations can begin.
N2, it is really necessary that you have your own source of income before getting married.
ReplyDeleteThat man may be able to foot your bills now, but for how long?
You need to be independent, so as to avoid being abused sometime later.
N1, if you like a guy you meet, and you think you can do long-term with him, please let him know that you have a child.
Though it's kinda dicey.
I asked my ex boo/prospective boo if he'll still date me, if he finds out that I already have a kid.
He said he doesn't know what he'll do. But, that men don't like being entangled with kids who aren't theirs. So that the baby daddy (if still alive), won't crawl out from his hiding place when the child is all grown and has amounted to something in the society, and be claiming "he's my son".
All the best!
@P.G : Why not put out your details for all to see? Must SDK be contacted for everything? Dont you guys pity her and the umpeenth emails she has to trudge through daily? Put your details out there - potential and interested consumers will contact you!
ReplyDeleteY'all should stop all this:
I want to shit - contact SDK for my details;
I want to piss - contact SDK for my details;
I want to cook - contact SDK for my details...
thinking
Poster 1,dnt be ashamed of ur child,yes indeed,the society frowns at baby mama stuff. To hell with that heediot,pls dnt be friends with him,tell ur current man abt ur child,if he loves u enough,he will stay with u,pls no give him ibongi and dnt spend on him too biko. Poster 2,10yrs relationship is much oh! Okay,ur dad may be seeing well oh! Try to start business,I hope u get a job. Today's chronicle makes sense.
ReplyDeleteLet me sit and read comment
ReplyDeletePoster 1.tell ur boo now that you have a child.period,don't be suprice he might be ur son's step dad.... Poster2.i pray you get a job soonest
DeletePoster 2... does your man have a well-paying job? Maybe your dad feels you guys may not be comfortable relying on his income alone.
ReplyDeleteTry to start a business if job is not forthcoming
Poster2:its advisable you get aa job b4 marriage even if you hubby earns a million bucks!marriage is different. From relationship,its a team work.poster 1 no mind yiur ex,he wan continue chopping you for free

LADY IGO SAID TO "BIG BOY MAMA";
ReplyDeleteYes; that's what you are; a big boy mama. Thanks foremost for not aborting that young man. God surely will reward you with family of your own and more for being kind to a kid (see Exodus chapter one; read please). All the same; lady keep your legs closed; once beaten twice shy. Keep your body holy for the one that the Lord will send to you (if you are meant to have a family cos Jesus taught that some folks has renounced marriage for the kingdom of God's sake; this however is not for everybody). I believe you are among those that will raise kids in a family of your own. Hold on and keep faith. The lady the so called ex rushed to marry could have murdered a lot of innocents in her womb. but now, she is seen as "chaste"; that's man in his judgment seat! But the ancient of days will still sit and pass judgment.
A lady I know so well was cajoled into sex by her friend and she became pregnant and refused to abort. She lost a year at school and took a leave to have her baby. She was abandoned by friends but not family. She went back to school after birthing a baby boy. She married her school sweet heart and both established a thriving business in the FCT. She had two other boys. Her first son was adopted by her husband; a wonderful Christian. The young man (now twenty-five) is gainfully employed and towing a pretty damsel (a lawyer) and the bells may jingle any moment from now . . . that's life.
LADY IGO with regards.
You always have an example for every chronicle.
DeleteMadam Stella nawa o, this ur advice for Poster 1, harsh o. Believe me 90% of baby mama's neva wished demselves such a position. Na the remaining 10% wan trap man (probably rich) wit belle and maybe d man no gree. Majority of this women didn't wish it,it just happened. They could have taken d easy way out and had an abortion,which no1 wld have known abt,but they took the harder way out,and some of then shld be commended for that.
ReplyDeleteThis is not me supporting baby mama's bcos dey also have blame in d matter. When a guy is sweet talkn you abt not using condom dat he loves you,know dey talk with dere dick. And if mistake happen abeg take Postinor 2.
Back to the matter, POSTER 1- sori about ur plight such is life,iv had similar situation,dou im not a baby mama,but sm1 broke my heart and married sm1 else. I know it wont be easy,but please baby mama's get married,i know 2 relatives that had kids in school and are now happily married. IT DOES HAPPEN, DONT LOOSE FAITH.
pOSTER 2, Madam pls go and get a job 1st, your dad knows more dan u and has his reasons. There is nothn like financial independence for a woman, no matter how small,be able to atlst afford the necessitys you need. Not askn hubby to give give give all the tinme. Economic situation of nwdays doesn't make it easy. Before you know it d man is shouting on you that all you do is ask (im talkn from xperience). Not all husbands are like dis,but its only human nature. PLS try and get a job before embarking on this marriage, it is for ur own good my dear,pls do not be in a hurry bcos you are 30. Even if ur hubby is xtremely rich,u can still do a business. Even Femi Otedola the billionaire's wife work (owns Garment care drycleaners) IT IS NOT ABOUT MONEY, BUT BEING INDEPENDENT AND IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN LIFE AND DESTINY..................FOREVER 16
LADY IGO TO THE "YOUNG MAN MAMA"; CONCLUSION
ReplyDeleteI FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE "BABY DADDY" HAS BEEN COMING AROUND BUT THE YOUNG MAN DOES NOT WANT TO SEE HIM. HE IS ANSWERING THE SURNAME OF HIS MOM'S HUSBAND WHO ADOPTED HIM. AND HAS WARNED THE INTRUDER TO PLEASE GIVE HIM AND HIS ADOPTED FAMILY A BREATHING SPACE.
BEST WISHES
LADY IGO.
Poster 1
ReplyDeleteYour ex didn't realise that you are a baby mama when he was broke and busted,as soon as he made it big,you became a plague because you have a son..smh
When will ladies learn to avoid broke ass guys?They only show their true color when they have money...they are bunch of pretenders!
Pls avoid him,he should jump into the lagoon with his so called frienship,he only wants to continue fucking you!
Before you tell this new bf of urs about ur son,make sure he is so into you...he likes you a lot.You can't keep telling every guy who comes into r life that you have a son.Be wise!
Poster 2
Your narrative is incomplete!
You didn't tell us exactly what your boo does 4 a living...is he jobless as well?
If he really wants to marry you,let him give you some money to start up a business na,since there are no jobs.
But wait oh,how could you date a guy for up to 10yrs and you have nothing to show for it?Is it that he is broke or stingy*side eyes*
May God help you oh!
Poster1, pls put on your running shoes and run away from that ex of yours. And pls let the new bf know about your kid. If he is for u he will accept your son wholeheartedly.
ReplyDeletePoster2, pls listen to your dad. Even if it's a trade or vocation just learn. I am talking from experience.
I understand where poster 2 dad is coming from. Pls come in here and finish your narrative darling. Is ur boyfriend employed ??? Is his salary buoyant ??
ReplyDeleteCan he sustain a family on his own in the long run ? Because once he stats pumping you with babies...to look for work would be hard oo..who would employ a pregnant woman?? And once you born and Done nursing ,who would employ a 30somethjng year old without job experience ???
Now let me tell you what le boo just said to me
There is power in effective and specific prayers . Fast if possible and tell the Good lord ur dilemma, then ask specifically for the kind of job u want . Put in a time limit .yea I said it ..challenge God! Believe ..and watch him open doors..it's worked for me, if I tell u how much I earn as a travel consultant u won't believe it !! It's working for my bf and I and it would work for you !!
In faith , go prepare your suit for your 1st day !
poster 1, u r not being too harsh at all. since he cant marry you, y does he want ur frndship, he shud find a frnd in Jesus. moreover yam and old no dey do frndship..... old firewood no dey quench biko. make he leave road make u fit see clear abeg.
ReplyDeleteposter 2, u never mentioned if lee boo is financially stable or he is just hustling to make ends meet. looking at it from 2 diff angles. # ur dad might be right if ur boo boo is still struggling, u end up being an additional liability to top it. #2nd view ur dad might be wrong if lee boo is ok nd accepted to bear d burden of ur state. since we don't knw d state of ur boo its in ur position to have a chat with ur dad if u have weighed all options. boo boo can set up a business 4 u if he is capable. getting a job before marriage shudnt b a do or die affair. every father wants d best for their seeds.
Don't ever hide ur child from any man o . A man that truly loves u will love and accept ur child . Is it better if uve had abortion ?? Infact it's a test of a man that truly loves. The boy is a human being afterall not an animal or a disease. They marry ppl with hiv why not a woman with Gods gift .
ReplyDeleteP1 - forget your ex
ReplyDeleteP2- tell that man about your child... If he doesn't like it he can kick rocks
Poster 1 my dear don't feel bad about it am a baby mama like you also I know how it feels like but my dear move on someone who would love you for you would come its crazy how this men treat baby mamas.Met one who said for us 2 get married that my kid must be kept a secret my dea I ran away o because I can't o.About telling your new boo the earlier you tell him the better. Me I don't waste time o,I would tell you who wants to stay would stay who wants to go should sure move over for the next person waiting in line. Poster 2 Take everything to God in prayers
ReplyDeletePoster 1: U did well telling the old guy to go, don't ever take him back cos he had his chance and he messed up..tell the new guy the truth of he wants to stay but if not good riddance...
ReplyDeletePoster 2: I agree with Stella....look at the issues she raised, if it's positive then ask your dad to free you...your case doesn't have to end up like your siblings..you can't blame your dad cos no parents want to trIn up a child, see them marry then instead of being independent he still continues the responsibility....the man has to rest oh...pls choose wisely
Poster1.......Forget the fool for the troubles he put u thru
ReplyDeleteYou have a tall lovely son don't let anyone make u feel less for having him
He's a gift from God
And pls tell the new guy, If you begin to notice signs of withdrawal, free him afterall fish full river.....Pray for your Shark to locate you.
Poster2.......I don't know what to say but then You and your sisters would have started a joint business a long time ago since its like that
Well its not too late though
Poster1, what such of friendship be that. Tell your new boo about your son, but i must tell you marrying a single mother is not solely his decision there will be influence from his family. May be you dont just tell him but ask him what's folks feel about it and how he want you guys to handle it. Whether you both should keep between you or he talk to his folks,
ReplyDeleteStella, some single mothers are victims of circumstances
ReplyDeletePoster 2, if na to get job, you can at least get a teaching job first or something small, get married and trust God for a better job.
ReplyDeletePoster 1, please do not be friend him, old things have passed away ooooo
Poster1...firstly, i am gong to go against what everyone is saying by this, watch were the relationship is heading to before you start running your mouth about being a single mother.
ReplyDeleteSome men will be like...open up baby, i love you regardless of... Then you wake up one morning and spill all, tomorrow they will either run or use it against you.
You have been bitten once, learn from it.
Watch who he is, watch were the relationship is heading to before you spill.
He may like you but not for marriage. If he is caring,enjoy all and continue looking forward to meeting the one that will stay with you.
Life is not always black and white
People who preach honesty is the best policy are usually the most dishonest people.
I am not asking you to lie or cover up that you have a child, Use wisdom in your dealings.
The first thing that comes out of your mouth when you meet people shouldn't be "i have a child"
The society is judgmental and pretentious.
You will be judged by prostitutes, drug dealers, abortionist,murderers, adulterers,frustrated people e.t.c
I know you love your child very well but expecting people to love and accept you and your child immediately is expecting too much.
People will say,
Tell him immediately if he loves you, he will accept you and your child.
That is not exactly correct.
There are people you have to open up to when the foundation is stronger while there are people you will have to open up to quicker.
Use wisdom.
Mind you, there are widowers that are very young and hot, there are also gorgeous male divorces.
They aren't the reject of the society as people make them out to be.
At the end of the day, who will love you will stay whether you tell him 10years later or the day you meet him.
The good news is, if he stays, you can beat your hands to your chest and know in your heart that he does love you.
Also know that pity is not love. So let your ex go, he had pity for you, he doesn't love you.

XOXO MYSTERY
@xoxo mystery u have said it all, poster 1 know where d relationship is heading b4 u open it mouth to say anything. Pls be wise
DeleteThis is d best advice
DeleteNo darling XOXO I beg to disagree. Waiting for the relationship to go deeper and then revealing a part of her as huge as having a child would be termed mother of all betrayals...or semi deceit if u like.
DeleteImagine it takes 1 or 2 years for them to solidify their relationship, and as u advised, if she now knows the relationship is heading to the altar, then she should now say ...Oh I have a son? Please, no matter how much love the man must have shown her over the years, he may not necessarily stop loving her when she tells him, but he'll question her loyalty or integrity or transparency henceforth.
There are things that should be revealed early enough in the course of building a relationship with a lover. One of which is if u have a child, and it is the most important because another human is involved.
You can avoid telling him early that u have properties, or any other not so important stuff. But definitely not that u have a child. How long can one keep such? What if the child is one that is with u all the time? Would u always have to send the child away just to create space to see a man that u aren't ready to tell about the child? Like if u have to do school runs and he calls u to ask where u are, would u rather say u are at the bank or what? If he come to ur house and sees the child, would u say he's a friends child just because u aren't ready to reveal that part of u to him?
Don't u know that some men know so much about a woman before they approach her for a date. If the man is one that already knows and has heard from reliable source that u have a child, but is waiting for u to tell him yourself, how would he feel if 6months after u still haven't told him? It could even jeopardise his interest in u.
Telling a man about ur child is as important as telling him ur age and last name after a few hours of meeting. It should never be a delayed info to one u wish to engage intimately with. I think once u decide to date a man, u should let him know within weeks of meeting him, depending on ur level of communication with him.
Sorry for my epistle. Na as d matter take scratch me lol.

ReplyDeleteJust not in the mood to advice.
ReplyDeleteI feel i damn well need some frigging advice myself.
So i'm gonna chill
#1: Darling, have you ever heard the saying that "there's a blessing in the storm"? It's easy to recite it as a mantra but until you experience it 1st hand, the wisdom in it may not come alive for you.
ReplyDeleteFrom your past experience, it appears you're beginning to see your son as an "obstacle"(for lack of a better word) to settling down with the man of your dreams. Honey, what you're feeling is only natural, I know you love and adore your son but when faced with certain challenges, you may begin to second-guess the role of the person you love the most in your life. A lot of people struggle with such feelings but are too ashamed or scared of the backlash, to admit it. After all, what can be more unpopular than a mum wondering whether or not having a child when she did was the right thing to do? We are mothers but we are human first. Doubt is one of the emotions which makes us human.
Here comes the "blessing in the storm" part. Your son is now the "litmus test" which helps to select the right man for you. Like the unconquerable Shakespearean quote "there is no art to find a man's construction in the face", it's hard to know if the love a man professes is real unless it has been tried and tested by adversity. That adorable angel of yours has become the "litmus test". Any man who walks away not because you have a bad attitude or incompatibility issues or some other rational reason but solely because you're a single mum, isn't man enough to "wife" you anyway. So his exit is in order. Don't you read or hear about ladies being jilted by their lovers? Are they all single mums? The truth is a man who isn't interested in you anymore will leave, whether or not you are a single mum.
Ohh! The thrill of young love! You both feel like you can't function without each other. It seems like the sun rises in his eyes and sets in yours. It's all fairytale and shooting stars because nothing has happened to test the weight of his emotions until you face a bump on your merry way and realise "prince charming" now appears not so princely nor charming! Disbelief entwines you like a snake. Suddenly your world stops while the world everyone lives in keeps moving on. Perhaps, if this fairytale love had been tested by adversity earlier, you wouldn't have been this blinded by love.
Sweetie, it depends on how you see life. What may be a disadvantage to A may be an advantage to B. While it may seem more realistic for the "untainted" single ladies to get married faster or earlier, it doesn't guarantee a happier marriage. Life has no definite blue print.
May I put a DISCLAIMER at this point, because I know the mindsets of certain individuals. I am in no way advocating for ladies to get knocked up before marriage in order to get a "litmus test" baby because that's a mistake. I am saying you can turn your mistake to your grace. You don't need a child to know if a man really loves you, there are other ways, BUT if you are already a single mum, your child(ren) shouldn't make you feel unworthy of a second chance at love.
Honey, let the new guy known you have an angel you adore and both of you come as a package. It's ok if he can't deal but he should know it's also ok that he isn't what you need as well. As for the runway groom, why on earth would you want such a character back in your life? He had his chance but he blew it. He is married now so he should chanel his newly found congeniality to his neighbours and in-laws. That guy will play you like a Spanish guitar and before you know it, you will serving up "benefits" as a side dish to the "friendship", cheerfully. He wasn't worth it when he was single, certainly he can't be now that he's married.
#e-bearhugs.
I love Ronalda! She's too wise, shooo! #fountain of wisdom
DeletePoster 1
DeleteJust read Ronalda's comment carefully..
Any Ex that treats you like "shit" and turns round to extend a hand of friendship does not deserve you as a friend!!!
Let him go and mingle with his church members!!!
Poster this is d advice U need, I didn't read o.... but Iphie dearie says it's good!!!
DeleteChoi
Delete@P 1. Forget that your ex abeg. He is not worth the draMa. Since you are not good enough for marriage he shouLd back well. Tell your current bf about your son, a child is not what you can hide.
ReplyDeletePoster 1, you will know the real character of a man when he has money or is in a position of power. Poverty/lack humble a lot of men and make them nice but when that money comes, you might get the shock of your life.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a crime to stand by your man but be very wise while doing so by being a 100% sure that he is your God ordained husband. If not, forget about it except you just wanna be helpful to the guy. Not every man is like your ex...I've seen some that cherish their wives and will give her the moon for supporting them but a lot of guys out there are fair weather boyfriends/husband.
Forget the guy and don't let him turn you into his side chic. It's not the end of the world to be a Baby Mama (though I won't advice any woman to become one but life happens sometimes) and God will give you a husband that will cherish you. Never hide your status from any guy or anyone ...its not worth it. Your child is a blessing to you.
Poster 2, get something doing before marriage
We've been preaching women's financial independence here yet you wanna get married before achieving it. Beware of sad Chronicles in future please.
@Poster 1-Pls,do not be friends with him. From my little experience,you will end up thanking God that it never worked.Also,do not curse him! Pls,Just leave everything to God(if it is as u stated it).Karma is a bitch,u know?. Ur Son is nothing to be ashamed of.With or without a child,whomever will love u, will do.
ReplyDelete@Poster 2: Pls,dont be blinded by Love/the feeling to be called a Mrs.I understand your position and i'm sure ur dad must have his reasons,too.What does ur beau do for a living?Can his remuneration sustain u both(in marriage)? At your age,u can't postpone raising kids: Can he take of all of you? See my dear,Marriage is beyond all the TLCs Le boo might be giving u at the moment(maybe shopping,gifts et al). It entails a lot of responsibilities and BILLS. Can he single-handedly do all these without u assisting in a way? Ask urself dese qstns and if u feel peace -by all means,go ahead and keep lifting all to God in prayers.
P1...That guy was not meant for you. DO not be his friend he is a goat.
ReplyDeleteP2...You are 30 and asking this type of question. Your boo no get work? Him no get business? If you like be silly and marry without work, your eye will soon clear.
Tayan, you are a small girl. How dare you call a child baggage? Anyway, we all see the way you post...with no single sense.
ReplyDeletePoster 2, follow all these hungry girls that are asking you not to be "Aunty Gwegs", they are all single or unhappily married. Your father knows exactly what he is talking about. You better get something of your own before you marry. All the chronicles, the groups on facebook have not put sense into your head...ok.
ReplyDeleteLady who wants to marry, listen up and listen well. There is no respect, not one for a woman without handiwork or a job. Forget these girls married to oyibo men, even Dabota Lawson has small business going. You want to rush and marry and see fire. Please slow down and develop yourself. 30, no work experience nothing? Your own goal in life is just marriage? Please dear wise up.
ReplyDeletePoster 1- go for the wedding with a friend (gossip partner) DRESS TO KILL. Spray the ewu money dance and be happy. Do not contact him after that day. EVER. Tell new Boo about your boy. If he loves and accepts you, your son will be his son.
ReplyDeletePoster 2- If your Boo is financially stable, your dad would not be insisting. So is He? If he is, then he should get you at least a business. If he isn't, your dad has a point. But @30, you should have made up your mind. How come your dad is controlling you at 30? Don't make Boo wait too long...
Someone called me an airhead in the childhood versus Adulthood post. LMAO. Lets be friends. I'll be pinky, you'll be Brain.😆
Ronalda.. can we be friends already? 1 million likes for your comment
ReplyDeletePoster 1,get money and you will see the niggas falling on you like pack of cards.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't trap any single guy, marry a rich married man...so you don't loose out.
Emem Isong,Ibinabo,Ann Njamaze,two face's 2nd baby mamma where once baby mammas.
Don't dull oh!
Poster1, take hrt, forget what u read on papers n celebrities been baby mamas, d fact still remains dat african society frowns @ it. Move on don't be frnds with ur ex cux his got nothing to offer ok
ReplyDeletePoster2 hmm, very serious o, if the guy is ok financially, let him start up a business 4 u, or ur dad should help get u a job. Won't blame ur dad though, after training u all in d university u mean u don't want him to eat d fruit of his labour? He knows dat once u r married u no longer owe him any responsibility. Ur focus shifts to ur family. U can make him see reasons though
So your parents trained you just to eat from you? Some of you really need help. Her father wants her to be comfortable you are here talking dust. When the man starts disrespecting her, then you will ask why her parents did not insist.
DeleteThose that are advising poster 2 to get married first, what if she doesn't get one till she's 35 or older. Y'all sound like if it was dat easy, she wouldn't have gotten one. Why cant she get married and continue with her job search? Any reason she can't? You will be there and be delaying Ur wedding and le boo will find another unmarried person to marry then you'd start saying men are wicked. My advise, go ahead with Ur wedding but that shouldn't stop u from searching for a job after the wedding
ReplyDeleteI didn't expect you to say anything with sense. All the chronicles you read, all the women crying and your worry is for her to marry quick. So her father that is old enough to know that once a man starts paying too many bills, he stops respecting you. You think the 10 10k that your man gives you as boyfriend girlfriend will continue after marriage. The women here begging her not to make the silly mistake probably had living husbands until the financial pressure became too much. If something happens to the man and his family starts showing her and her kids red eye? If he decides to focus on another woman? God forbid all these things but it is better safe than sorry.
DeleteAnon 21:58, don't blame Eka Ratbag, she is retarded.

ReplyDelete@ poster 1.Annon 15.56, may God almighty bless u plenty my love.u said it all. Pple will open mouth here and be talking nonsense, u hit the point. Am a victim, I never dreamed of becoming a single mum for my life untill it happened to me, unplanned for! Today my son is my treasure land, my gold and diamond. I thank God daily for my decision to keep my child, when ever I look @ him I always praise God, when ever I look at my son I say God thank u sir. Ronalda, I don't know weather to hug u,kiss u or whatever. I love u so much my dear. I wish I can have someone like u as a true friend I never had. God bless u plenty my love. Poster pls that ur child will make u happy in furture if u take a very good care of him, some men are devil. Do not hid ur son from any man, there's reason for his coming ok, man that will love u and ur child will surely come to u dear. Forget abt ur ex cos he donsnt worth it.
ReplyDeleteI will go anonymous on this one....lol....we started our marriage on a very Luvy duty note and thank God after some hurdles we are still going strong.....I will never ma never, laye ma laye advise any woman or my daughters to get married without a job......even if na pure water seller let it be established before marriage and giving u an income.....relationships is in stages and that initial shacking love fades before commitment and maturity starts helping you work on the love....a woman who has no source of income and financially independent quickly becomes a liability in the eyes of a man.....no human being is wired to continue giving giving giving and not feel tired one day....a job even helps to relieve tension in the marriage cos you both go out and interact with others thus energized to come back home and share time together...as a woman u will not feel frustrated and used in marriage which has caused some women serious psychological issues.....I was in a long distance marriage and took a break from work so can join hubby and begin to live together as man and wife....I enrolled in school so was dependent on him for that period, that was when true colors started to show.....luckily events happened that made me return to naija and luckily I didn't Resign my job cos it was civil service....shame would have been my middle name cos he reduced me to the level where he became like a god....I drink water I don waste, I eat e don too much cos no be me buy am......yes I know ain't easy to earn money abroad but there is a way to do things....now I earn a good salary, I can buy whatever I want at my time and in what quantity....I buy food for the house, shop for the kids and he knows I must be consulted for certain decisions cos my financial standing now matters and can make a difference....lol.....I can give my family when I want without wAiting for his to have their fill first.....my dear calm down and listen to your father, he must be very sad at the situation of his children.....women I don't care if u can't write abcd, go and fry Akara or boli you don't need grammar for that but at the end of the day you can make even 1k a day.....so that if you wan buy pad or pant self or even maggi u will not wait for daddy to come from work....lol..
ReplyDeleteBest advice!

ReplyDeletePoster2:aunty stella has said it all.
#1, Tell the new guy and watch his attitude, his body language will speak volumes more than his voice. Please have nothing absolutely nothing to do with your ex. He just wants to eat his cake and have it.
ReplyDelete#2, I understand where your dad is coming from. As a SAHM, I sincerely won't advise any young single lady to marry without having a job first, but as the job is not coming nko? Will you lose a 10 year old relationship? My question is: Does he earn enough to take care of both of you? Or His is family financial comfortable to support in any way if the financial pressure becomes much for him? Plead with your dad through your mum. Plan with your hubby to have a very simple and quiet wedding, and save the balance money for your home expenses, while you continue looking for a job. Best of luck.
Nitty.
If you're planning to get pregnant this year or next year so as to compensate your man or to use it to get money from him, pls reconsider.
ReplyDeleteINSIST ON CONDOM PLS. #notpromotingit
#1 - That's not the end of the world but you must be focus/prayerful and not allow any Tom/Dick/Harry to come into your life all in the name of 'I want to marry'. Majority have said it, DO NOT GIVE IN TO HIS FRIENDSHIP. You can jokingly find out if your new guy can marry a BABY MAMA or not. Use your HEAD my dear! Trust in GOD.
2# While searching for a job, you can start frying chin-chin and supplying or learn something like bead making, tailoring, etc. before saying "I DO". My dear your Papa dey right. He doesn't want you to follow your siblings' foot-steps, try make a different. Pray and cancel that pattern of not getting a job before MARRIAGE. Good luck!
