MRS DEES CORNER
CULTURAL DIFFERENCES 

I am inter-tribally married, although my husband is not from the  South-West, he was born and raised there. 

I experienced culture shock when I moved to Lagos after service year and saw people genuflecting for the elderly. I'm sure some people would have termed me a disrespectful person because I didn't curtsy while greeting. Not that I intentionally did it, but I grew up where it was not the norm.  Even my pastor who was almost eighty years,  I used to greet him thus: Daddy good morning sir( standing erect) . Him: How are you?  ( extending his hand for a shake).  Me:I'm fine sir(accepting the hand shake).  

 I was in for another shocker when my hubby few weeks to our wedding informed me I should never call his younger brothers by their first names as it was considered disrespectful.  I must always attach 'brother' to their names.  My mouth hung open for a few seconds but I quickly regained my composure. Na wa oo, so I'll start learning how to affix 'brother' to somebody's name instead of the first name basis I was used to? Ihe nke a dikwa egwu.

 As a newly married wife,  I took my time to prepare delicacies thinking my hubby would love it not knowing my hubby dreaded meal times because of my local food.  I would go to the market buy ingredients for oha soup (side eyes @ SD)prepare it with enough cow skin, dried fish and  stock  fish. When he's back and I dish out the food, he'll manage to swallow a few lumps and tell me he's satisfied only to see him drinking garri with groundnut few minutes later. I tried to prepare vegetable soup  too, the type with no liquid, he just saw the soup and said he was not eating. But if it's ogbono or egusi soup with very little vegetable ,  he'll eat it with relish.


 Time for omugwo,  hubby informed me his mother would come first when I had already envisaged how I would get adequate rest and eat good food prepared by my mum. The one month she stayed was  really tasking.One week after delivery,  I was bending down with CS cut to sweep the house,  cooking morning, afternoon, night for the family and  washing clothes.



 When I inquired from hubby why his mum could not help me in the kitchen,  he replied that it is not allowed for a MIL to go into her DIL's kitchen. Her sole duty is to bathe and take care of her grandchildren. Hubby stylishly told me it was even my duty to wash her clothes, afterall she was only helping me out by taking care of  the kids.  I just used cotton wool to block my ears on that one. Nobody will kill me before my time.


When She came for omugwo the second time,  I had already programmed my mind to bear the stress for the number of months she would stay. This time it was more stressful as school runs were added to my to-do list.  Even when my bp was 180/120 due to lack of sleep and rest, there was still no assistance from her.   


I also noticed that it's only in Lagos, you can tell the vegetable seller to slice yours for you.  In the East, it's  unheard of ,  I've seen where a buyer in the East wanted her veggies sliced and the seller replied in Igbo "azu kwara gi azu?" meaning "did you get home training at all? "   


"I lechara  nne nwanyi di ka m gi cho ka m bere gi ugu?"  So you want an old woman like me to slice vegetable for you? 
"Were ya la ulo ga be". Take it home and slice it yourself.  Lol.

I NEED TO KNOW

My name is ***** *******. I am an ardent reader of

your blog though i don't comment( don't know how). i believe you can help me put my story out there, maybe I'll find someone to help me on your blog.

i did an insurance policy of 15000 naira per month for 5 years with a
company called STANDARD ALLIANCE LIFE ASSURANCE PLC. between July
2012 and July 2017. 

I already signed my discharge voucher on 23rd of
November 2017 which states the total amount and the accompanied
interest.

Since then, i have not gotten any cheque from them or information on
when the money will be paid.This month (July) makes it a year since i
ended the policy with no money coming out.

My marketer doesn't not know what to do, the regional manager is not
helping. I went to there head office in lekki, i was told i have to
see the regional manager in charge of the office handling my account
who is not ready to help me at all. she told me to route my request
through my account officer who in turn told me its in her hands.
I have been silent about this because i don't want to make so much
noise and attract attention but i don't know what else to do.

I just want to know if anyone has been involved with the company
before and how they got their money out.
I have so many things planned for that money but they are just
spoiling everything for me.

Anyone who can help me can send a mail to emeraldkesh@gmail.com.
I really need help.
p.s. i have all necessary documents with me.

*Looks like you have been scammed oh!!!
