I'm so envious of my elder brother's new wife. Whenever we have family gatherings, she doesn't do anything at all. She never helps with chores or offers any form of assistance.
Last December, we had our uncle's burial celebration, and the entire family returned home for the event. I thought she might have changed by then, but she was literally the worst. It upsets me so much because I feel like my brother is a slave in his own marriage.
As soon as they arrived, she went upstairs to her room and stayed there throughout the entire event. While everyone else was busy with various activities downstairs, she spent her time laughing, watching movies, and entertaining herself.
What makes it even more surprising is that my brother has always lectured his sisters about laziness. He constantly preached that if we weren't hardworking and responsible, no man would โpickโ us. So I'm genuinely wondering how he ended up choosing someone who seems to be the complete opposite of everything he used to preach.
The dream partner is one who can't speak your language and never will
One who can't cook
One who you always have to impress with funds
One with botched surgeries
As long as the person makes you have public validation.
@lochan_twt The first thing you should buy with your first pay check is something for your parents.
They're partially the reason you have a job.
Even if it's something small, they'll remember it for years.
Give back to the people who made you their whole life.
They'll love it.
If youโre in your 20s and your only plan is a 9โ5, youโre not taking life seriously. Thatโs how people end up old, still waiting for โฆ200k at monthโs end to feed a family. You have a phone. You have the internet. Learn a skill. With AI, you can train for a few days and land opportunities.
A 9โ5 drains you, you live for Saturday and spend Sunday preparing to suffer again. This is 2026. Work smart, Everybody works hard!

There is a great irony in Nigerian men claiming Nigerian women are especially materialistic when the major thing foreign women highlight in their dealings with us is our โspending capacity.โ
I almost never see an Innit/Yankee babe talk about Nigerian men without mentioning money.
