My Top 5:
1. Anyone who treats you well or badly among your parents’ relatives does so because of who they are as individuals—not because they belong to your father’s side or your mother’s side.
2. I believe “sexual compatibility” is largely a myth. In many cases, the idea is rooted in existing sexual experience outside marriage. Two virgins who marry each other will naturally learn, communicate, and adjust to one another over time.
3. We experience people differently. The person you call “the best mother in the world” may have been the worst wife to your father, and both perspectives can be true based on each person’s experience with her.
3. Your partner being a good parent is not within your control, especially if neither of you has experienced parenthood before. The idea of choosing the “best father” or “best mother” for your unborn children is unrealistic.
5. It is very easy for people to pretend during cohabitation, especially when they know the purpose of living together is for you to “get to know them” before marriage. Someone who is determined to hide their true character can do so for the duration of the cohabitation.
A friend was telling me about an Imam that encourages the youths a lot to get married, but when one of the brothers in the masjid reached out to him showing his interest in the Imam’s daughter, he got angry.
“I sent my daughters to good schools and they are studying good courses in the university now. I have plans for them. Please don’t try that with me again!”
The following year, the daughter was married to a guy who lives abroad.
The Imam has every right to reject the brother, but didn’t communicate it well.
The preference? Fine as well.
But when a man says his preference is to marry a lady of certain age, and he doesn’t want to marry a 30+ years old lady, Qadar was brought into the conversation. How?!
Ladies easily communicate how they will never settle for a short and struggling guy and it’s all good. Nobody talked about Qadar.
It is very important to be fair. Let people have their preferences.
The only problem will be when someone intend to shame others with their preferences.
In all of these, memorizing the Quran is the most important.
A few days ago a man was mocked for wanting a virgin wife considering his financial situation.
Yesterday a 30+ woman faced similar mockery for not wanting to be a second wife and likely remaining unmarried due to her choices.
The patterns are clear.
We shouldn’t judge others then turn around and cry wolf when we’re judged ourselves.
“People should respect the fact that people will have preferences”
But you didn’t remember this when they were dragging those whose preferences are “2nd, 3rd and 4th wives”
Bunch of hypocrites 😂
If a man can be judged by his present condition in life, then there should be nothing wrong with a man judging a woman by her past choices.
If you believe it's fair to conclude that I don't have money like my peers at a particular age because of my personal failures cos my mates are already doing well, with cars, houses and kids, then by the same logic, someone could also conclude that a woman who didn't marry before 30 did so because of bad character or poor choices.
The point is not that either conclusion is necessarily true. The point is that both are assumptions. People's lives are shaped by different circumstances, opportunities, and experiences. If we reject unfair assumptions about one group, we should reject them about the other as well.
Fairness should cut both ways.

@Mz_Tosyn I guess marry 20+years lady every 10 years. By the 4th marriage, the man should be around 70 years. His taste for 30 years would have overridden the taste for 20 years plus, which would be sufficient to carry him to his grave. Thank you for your attention to this matter
That is why you should only have sex when YOU want to.
Remain a virgin because YOU want to, not because you want to give your virginity to your husband as a "gift".
“It’s a man’s thing to ask for sex in marriage”
Na you go pay bills all the time
Na you go provide home
Na you go provide wetin everybody go chop
Na you go pay school fees
Na you go still Dey always beg or ask for sex
Baba na rubbish you Dey do😂😂😂
You have put your finger on a wound that has been bleeding for decades. Seeing those officers soaked to the bone, shivering in the rain while carrying out their duties, is not just a sad image it is an indictment of a system that expects heroism without providing the basics for survival.
The Nigeria Police Force is not underfunded by accident. It is underfunded by design and that has to stop because now is the time for police to work maximally and effectively to face the growing threat across the country.
For years, security votes have been allocated, but the resources rarely reach the officers on the ground. Raincoats, boots, bulletproof vests, functional vehicles, and modern communication equipment are not luxuries, they are basic essentials needed to carry out their job. Without them, officers are not just uncomfortable; they are vulnerable.
The private sector and philanthropists can help. But they should not have to if government provided them with the necessity.
The primary responsibility lies with the government. If the Federal Government can budget billions for infrastructure and recurrent expenditure, it can budget adequately for the men and women who risk their lives daily.
This is What is needed of the government:
✅ Adequate funding for the Police Force budget not just for salaries, but for operational equipment.
✅ Transparent procurement processes to ensure that funds allocated for equipment actually reach the officers.
✅ Improved welfare packages not just raincoats, but housing, insurance, and medical care.
✅ Training that matches the evolving threat landscape not just crowd control, but counter-t£rr0r!sm, cybercrime, and intelligence-led policing.
To the officers standing in the rain without raincoats: we see you. We appreciate you. And we will continue to demand that the system provides you with what you need to do your job with dignity.
To the government: the excuse of limited resources is no longer acceptable. The police are the first line of defence. Treat them like it and not as a second fiddle.
