We tend to over estimate the resources at Lagos' disposal. Lagos is poor, very poor. By resources, I am assuming you mean both FAAC allocation and internally generated revenue.

Situations been handled better? Maybe. Looking back to everything lost and all that happened, I'll say you only know after the facts. Survival mode kicks in and you want to save whatever can be salvaged.
It does not help when the person you are married to never left "home".
This would have worked during the days of Báṣọ̀run Gáà. You would have made a great under-servant to him; the serpentine type that snitches just so your portion of meat is slightly larger than other slaves. We left that stage 170 years ago. I am Àwórì, I am Lagos, I am Yorùbá.
I don't think Yorùbá will ever fight a civil war again. We did that for 16 long years, occasioned by the inordinate ambitions of Báṣọ̀run Gáà, and it hurt us badly. The colonisers met a weekend group that was easy to conquer.
We learnt our lessons, which is why 100 years after…

Mar the marriage. Against all odds I went against my Father's wishes and married the "girl of my dreams". My sisters begged, fought me and didn't show up at my wedding nor did my Dad. My younger sister's husband showed up and to be honest I don't know how he pulled that off.
Maybe. I'll want all of my family members to be at my wedding and accept the woman I love For who she is& what she stands for. It was not the case when I got married. It was alienating. And that is a pretty toxic situation that breeds other very unpleasant issues that may make or

I respect him and my sister for that and I am eternally grateful. It must have been tough on him showing up. So many vile things were said about my wife and her family and I shut up as many people as I can. Days to the wedding my Dad was painted as this huge monster who
After he calmed down, I asked for his state of origin. It was Abia State. While i do not like the state of that portion of road; and we can see there's some work going on there, how are the roads in his state? Does his state provide the opportunity for a "drive to own" like this?
Context: I had always known my Wife. I was at her parents wedding (my Dad was MC) and she is one of nicest persons I've ever known. She is also one of the best PR professional I know. She is good at her craft. Marriage is a different ball game entirely. She is a great mother too.
Could disrupt the wedding. And that carried on to the wedding day. That was far from the truth My Dad is one man I wish I can emulate he was the better man. He may have been wrong opposing my choice, but he was not a bitter man nor vindictive. He was just set in his ways.

Afraid and didn't trust my family nor my mom who was the only person to support and show up on the day. I resented my Father-in-law's constant check-in. So while we were married she was still at "home" with her family. I became the intruder. I had no one to turn to. My mom was
But I am also saddened that I was left high and dry. That She left at the lowest point in my life(she had a right to) months after I had opened up about my infidelity. All these just because I went against my family to marry. We came out changed forever. I just need her happy.

And unfriendly. It was not long before we started resenting each other. I told my Father-in-law not to call me ever again. I wanted to stay far away from home as far as possible especially the months of Omugwo. My wife is fragile and given to emotions, I am pragmatic and blunt
