My fellow readers of this great blog please I need your help urgently. My younger brother wants to marry a woman who has two kids by two different men. She's only 29 and already has a 9 year old and a four year old, both from different men she dated in the past. My brother is only 31 and I and other members of our family feel there are more decent women out there he can marry and not a young woman with two kids. We have tried to talk him out of it but he doesn't want it to hear it. It's not even like she's beautiful, well educated or rich so I don't understand his obsession with this woman. How is he going to take care of two kids that are not his? What do we do? How do we get him to get away from this woman? There are some family members who believe he's under a spell because his obsession with her and determination to marry her is not normal.

Pls go and mind ur own life...let him be..it's his choice...a 31 yr old is a grown man and capable of makn his own decision ....

Or he could just be in LOVE which is blind with regards to wealth and beauty.
Go live your own life and leave your brother to live HIS

My dear at 31 its obvious that your brother is old enough to decide for himself. if you feel he's under a spell then take it to God in prayer.
btw Happy birthday Lindiway Nnags.

Love is blind they say, so don't blame him or tie it to a spell. And then he doesn't have to necessarily take care of the kids, don't they have dads? Before marrying her, they can arrange that her kids are sent to their dads or maybe a relative. And then, once a woman who has had kids before automatically means she is not worthy of being a good wife? That's myopic reasoning!

My dear all u can do is pray , I and my family just suffered this same stuff. My bro met a girl and proposed to her in less than 2weeks, the said girl has an 8 years old daughter, uneducated, duped her ex of sum money, aborted a 7months pregnancy for her ex, the guirls mum even called my mum to threaten her cos she os diabolical, all these and some more stuff. They still went ahead got married without our consent. We didn't attend the wedding or trad. I know sum day God would open his eyes and break him from under this spell, it's just a matter of time

You and all your family are stupid... Do you know how she ended up with 2 kids from diff men ? How dare you judge you are morally upright than she is.. Sorry you have not given us any concrete reason why you think she will make a bad wife....Juju my royal arse..... He likes her period.... The fact he likes her without seeing the prejudice you all see does not mean juju anything.... You all get your nose out of his business and let him live his life.....

Mr worried brother...I truly understand ur point buh seriously, who knows mayb d lady had those kids under some conditions she couldn't help. Moreso, every woman's dream is to be. Married. Some1 will eventually marry her. Pls let dem marry each other if u sense genuine love here, god will take care of the kids plus his unborn ones, amen.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:15
Love can't b understood by simple minds,i will advise u let them b,u neva can tell,she might b d best 4 ur brother
- 7 June 2013 at 17:16
At this point...just leave him to do whatever he wants to do...if you try to give a man an advice and he doesn't heed to it, just leave it for fate to take change, he'll definitely learn the other way round, which is a hard and regretful way, that's all.

Having children outside marriage does not portray a woman as indecent. Something must have led her to that situation, i don't think any woman in our "society" will ever want to have children outside wedlock. Your brother knows what he saw in her that made him took the decision, he's an adult. You just keep praying for them and let them be.

Am totally irritated with Nigerians like you who think people who like each other without prejudice are under a spell..... Is it your brother that pays all her bills?? If you love a woman will you not love her kids? Hypocrites if or I your brother who has kids you will want a woman to slave and look after the kids....if you are not yet marry I pray you end up a single mother so you know how it feels, wicked people...... Shame on you leave your brother alone .....

Nawa o. Dis kind taking panadol 4 person headache. Ur broda says he luvs ha dat way n u're here toking shit. Having two children doesn't mk ha indecent. I'm sure u hv had more dan 2 abortions 4 different men n u're here condemning sum1 else.. Una family sef nawa o. R u d ones to tk k of d kids? Who told u its not normal to marry ha? U'll not face ur silly lyf. *long hiss*. Just pray u don't get to face stigmatization or rejection. Den will u feel how painful it can be.
P. S. Since u dnt knw how to convince him, y'all kill urselves. Dat'll work. Nonsense! Sick family
- 7 June 2013 at 17:21
YES. It's nt normal at all,dat ur broda is under a strong spell i guess n d beta option n advice is to take him to church 4 deliverance. God will help u bro

My dear,your bro is in love.That is wat love does to U.Put urself in the shoes of that lady.What if u were married wt kids nd found urself in an abusive marriage,or being divorced,meanwhile there's a young & responsible man out there who would make ur dream man?What would u do?Let ur bro make his choice.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:23
My fellow lady, don't judge this young girl.. Fine she is 29 and has 2 kids. Have you listened to her story?
Maybe God is using your brother as an angel because the girl has gone thru a lot . Beauty and riches don't qualify a real woman. Maybe she makes him happy. Happiness is ultimate.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:23
I don't understand this woman oh, so becos she has had children before that's why she is not good for ur brother abi.did u bother finding the circumstances that lead to her having 2 kids for diff men.just a simple question for u if she was ur sister will u be talking like this.a good example is Kim K family, the step father married the mother with four kids from other man and took them in. See girl if that's were his happiness is pls leave the young man to mk his own mistake and learn from it.we are all humans and not perfect
- 7 June 2013 at 17:24
U ar d type dt always carry ppls problems,watz ur stress? Ur broda says u shuld let him be,so why askin us.Becos she has 2 kids previously she is a devil abi? Guy,u 2 dey poke nose.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:24

This story sounds exactly to how my brother who was then 29 got married to an older woman who had a 16 year old who previously was married to a white man and was currently married to an ibo man when they started dating. My dear nothing we did helped, they have been together for 5 yrs now with no child. We r still hoping and praying...
- 7 June 2013 at 17:25
Experience is the best teacher in life. Pls live this guy alone to explore life, u can only pray for his voyage not to collapse with serious injuries :-)
- 7 June 2013 at 17:27
Hey!he is an adult allow him make his mistakes if he has 2 learn from it,as 4 him being under spell d only tin u can do is pray fervently 4 him and if he is truely under a spell watch God do His tin afterwards,may be if u all give him space 2 he will b able think 4 himself and see d tins he should be seeing if she truely is not suitable 4 him.

Wow wonders shall never end! Would you rather loose your brother because of his woman's choice?
The best you can do for him is to support him and let him make his own mistakes.
After all, he will be the one enduring the marriage, not you!
So my advice if you care to listen is to love your brother no matter what. Besides, he has not committed any crime by wanting to marry a woman with 2 kids from different fathers.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:30
Here's how to stop him.........YOU DON'T!!
He's not ONLY 31, he's a bloody full grown adult who has to make his own decisions and live with the consequences!!!!
She's not ONLY 29, she a freaking full grown ass woman who should know by now how to handle her business.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:31
You see. Nobody givs a shit. If t'was dat somebody had sex wit anada person's hubby, all hell'll break loose wit comments. Aunty, talk to your pastor and pray for the young man. Altho the story sound made up to me.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:31
I don't believe his under a spell. She may have just been the best companion he had ever had. She wants another chance to start a family so she is more agreeable than those with better qualities. In her quest to find a man with a child already she may have been decieved and dumped once again. You never know peoples stories. For me, I would be worried as well but I challenge you to check if she would be a good wife without bias about her kids or social status but about her character. I believe your brother will be more willing to listen if you were drawing out solid points about her character rather than shallow and baseless prejudice over her situation. Pray to God about it also so you don't spoil Gods plan for them if it is. My prayer is that if she has any virtue you will see it and grow to love her. Good luck
- 7 June 2013 at 17:31
I always say dt a single woman who doesn't have kids (just cos she aborted them) is not better than one who had them. Period
- 7 June 2013 at 17:32
Lmao@'his obsession to marry her is not normal'... well tell me about it!
- 7 June 2013 at 17:32
See jealousy!!!, please leave them alone, you can't help who u fall in love with, why try to destroy your brother's happiness!?!
- 7 June 2013 at 17:33
If he loves her then ur complaints will only make him more determined to marry her. U Don try. Let him marry her. Having those kids doesn't mean she's a bad person. She could have done 10 abortions and u would never know. Sorry enh
- 7 June 2013 at 17:35
You can't, it's his life and he's an adult.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:35
I bliv everyone in life makes a choice so since he choosed to marry him let him if dere is ani trouble leta he can't blame anione.We live by our choices weda gud or bad
- 7 June 2013 at 17:38
LMAO...he's under a spell indeed
- 7 June 2013 at 17:38
Ur brother is an adult who can make his own decisions,so let him do what he likes and ur duty is to support him.

Let him make his decision...and if it turns out bad for him, you can always have that great moment of telling him, 'I told you so!!'
- 7 June 2013 at 17:39
The sister and the members of the guys family should 1st of all consider their brother's happiness and if both the guy and girl love n respect each other the guy in question should go ahead and marry the girl after all he is the one that will be spending the rest of his life with the lady. The lady might not be as bad as the guy's family members think every one deserves a chance to be loved.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:39
Lord hav mercy, r u a fucking retard and r u frm the stonage. So cus she's got 2 kids means she should neva marry again abi... How mean and so damn judgemental. Dumb ppl would always think its juju. Wen its just luv... Do u knw hw well she treats him @ hme, do u knw if this lady actually really does make him happy. So cus she's got 2 kids, she can't marry. May God help u... As the good book said; ye without sin, cast the first stone, I can see u r as clean as snow dats y u r casting the stone.
Yes I hv take it p, lol... I'm a single mom too so just a lil pissed cus I actually lost out cus I hv a child. I gladly waka, not dwn the line my child would be maltreated... Anyways, I digress
- 7 June 2013 at 17:39
Dt she had two kids in de past doesn't mean she nt a wife-material,evry1 makes mistakes nd u cnt even tell her story...I advice u jst put evrytin in God's hands,spell or no spell...pray nd leave all 2 God!
- 7 June 2013 at 17:40
You and your so called family need to butt out of your brothers life. He is a grown man who can make well informed decisions... It's people like you who always stick their nose into people's marriages... And what is bad in a woman picking herself up and loving for real... What is your business that he wants to accept two lovely kids as his and bring them up as his.... So the innocent kids don't deserve a good family life abi.... It's not like you all don't have plenty skeletons in your filthy cupboards... This is the most irritating letter ever
- 7 June 2013 at 17:42
na wa o! Sometimes I can't believe the way some people reason. Ms. holier than thou, my advise to you is to mind your business. I'm assuming your brother is an intelligent grown man who has seen a treasure(who are you to judge) and wants her before someone else snatches her up. it's a differen case if you know for sure that she's not a good woman, and even at that the final decision would still lie with him.
wetin com concern u with him raising 2 kids who are not his, na ur moni??? And by the the way, point of correction, if the kids are his wife's kids...then they are his spiritually, and the things of the spirit are more real than the things of the flesh.
Please, we should stop judging people, even if she was a hoe before, is it possible she has genuinely changed?!!

"""My brother is only 31 and I and other members of our family feel there are more decent women out there he can marry and not a young woman with two kids. """""

Now since ur family tinks he is unda a spell,y dt Ʋ guys organize a family prayer 4him,pray dt any spell or bond b destroyd....if dt doesn't wrk,den kidnap ur broda or d lady herself till further notice.....
If both doesn't wrk,pls take dem to church to wed ok,wot God has joind 2geda no man shld put asunder,even Ʋ ,dnt put ur hands under...she is a woman jst lik Ʋ ,she is nt an outcast jst cos she gat 2kids 4rm 2 d/f men,i rather marry such a gal dan marry 1 dt has done abortion 1s or twice or mur....so choose
- 7 June 2013 at 17:45
not evritin has 2 b juju/spell .....has it ever occurred to u guys that maybe ...just maybe the woman makes him happy??? and btw hw does she having 2 kids not make her decent ....gosh some pple can be small minded shaaaaaa!!!!!
- 7 June 2013 at 17:46
He's nt under a spell...leave him alone...he luvz her soh let him follow hiz heart...u can't decide for him who to marry
- 7 June 2013 at 17:47
A lady that has 2 children for 2 different human beings @ that her age would be a big mistake,i promise you .Go any length to stop her.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:47
Hi.. 1- Please leave your brother alone to marry whoever he wants to marry 2- the 9 year old and the 4 year old have been feeding ever before your brother met this lady so what makes you feel the burden will be on him... If you all think he's possessed then you all should get your pastor to pray over it and let the young man live his life... Life is full of challenges and which ever way we choose to live ours is left to us. Let the poor boy alone.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:49
Hmmmm .... Your family may have a point but has your family stopped to ask if they trully love each other and make each other happy? Yeah her past is far from spotless but which one of us has a squeaky clean past she chose to have her kids instead of abort them I think that's commendable the one u prefer for him to marry may have had 10 abortions dat u don't know about .... Don't be so quick to write her off she could be yOur sister or even your child. The reason u should not want your bro to marry her should be because she is a bad person on all counts. HE WHO HAS NO SIN SHOULD CAST THE FIRST STONE
- 7 June 2013 at 17:50
I feel ur pain dear. All I can advise z jus PRAYER. If its d will of God den so b it. He wud ve chosen his path. Its nt easy, bur u ll jus v to accept it. All d best.

Pls u guy shuld free d young man .. He is free 2 choose his partner weither decent or indecent.. Love is d most important thing.. How sure are u dat ur bro doesn't hav a child dat som1 else is takin care of..
- 7 June 2013 at 17:54
thats his decision, leave him alone, because she has two kids for two different men does not mean she's indecent or cant make your brother happy. i think you and the rest of the family should quit judging her and get to know her, you might then be able to see why your brother is in love with her
- 7 June 2013 at 17:54
Girl put urself in her shoes, wud u want to b treated dat way just bcox u v 2kids for diff men? So leave u brother alone to marry who he loves.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:55
I thought your brother is 1 year old but he 31 for crying out loud so he is old enough to know what he wants. Give them a break
- 7 June 2013 at 17:55
How am I sure is not the same person I know you are talking about,only that the kids in question are from one man,and the lady is rich,but sincerely speaking this two people love each other very well,and the kids love their daddy wanna be be,if they are the same person we are talking about,they are both igbos pls leave them is love and not jass.
- 7 June 2013 at 17:56
all of you saying he's not under a spell are retarded, can you wish same thing for your brother. My dear this is JAZZ at work so better pray ver very hard ok cos some girls out there are not smiling at all. Toh!

- 7 June 2013 at 18:00
Pls leave them alone! In a similar situation only dat we r of diff tribes and religion and his mother doesn't want us 2 get married. If he luvs her, leave him. U don't knw her story so dnt judge.
- 7 June 2013 at 18:01
You're what is wrong with this society. So, because she has two kids she isn't good enough for your brother? Get a life abeg. Would it be wiser for him to then marry a 'decent' lady who has aborted severally than marry someone who chose not to add murder to the sin of fornication? You holy pass? Mtcheeeew.

Let me tell you what you want to hear or better still post what you want to read. Yes your brother is definitely under a spell, this cannot be love. The woman is not good enough for anyone to marry, she should be stoned for having two children from two men at age 29. But let he without sin cast the first stone! And I was thinking, who exactly should your brother marry &how good is he?

Face ur own marriage if u have one and stop taking panadol for someone's headache otherwise by d time u get ur own real headache, all ur panadol go don finish.
- 7 June 2013 at 18:13
Does the fact that she has 2 kids for different men make her unsuitable for marriage? Pls do not judge. Rather, try to get to know her, please. Why try to destroy ur brother's happiness because of ur own bias? How do u know he's under a spell and not truly in love?
I beg, pray for him and let God's will be done. Also try to know the lady please. Do not alienate your brother any further by taking such a hard stance against the lady cos of her past. Thanks and God bless u.
- 7 June 2013 at 18:13
Lmao @ y'all's comments buh for God's sake why are you guys adding more with these crazy comments you call advise. I agree circumstances must have made the 29 years old lady have 2 kids for 2 baby daddies buh have y'all tot of why she made the mistakes twice? Then something is def wrong with the lady for having same circumstances 2 times. And for your 31 years old bro, Biko let him face it jare, the world has gone more emotional when it comes to marriage so let him do what he wanna do while the family backs up with prayers.

You are a very ignorant girl. So because the woman is 29 with 2 kids she is indecent??? You are a very shallow minded human being. I know young girls in Lagos that tie scarf n go to church every sunday , cover up very well when they dress and will lie about being virgins when on the down low they sleep around. Dont judge a book by its cover and give the girl a chance.

I think you have done all you can which is offer some advise but unfortunately that's all you can do. He is an adult and can marry whoever he decides to marry. When it comes to matters of the heart, it is best to let people follow their heart. Check out www.fertilityandrelationships.blogspot.co.uk
- 7 June 2013 at 18:23
Please leave your brother alone...for me I think is LOVE.Dat she's got 2 kids from two men doesn't make her indecent. The only thing you should do as a well concern sister is to pray for him,and support him, dats all.u never can tell her story!

i had a child in d university not because i was wayward but cos i was naive. so most pple who have kids outside wedlock are naive or God fearing and made a mistake. so because of that pple condemn them. just let them be.

*Linda. I like ANNON 6:05 PM posting. "Let who has not sin cast the 1st stone". Marrying someone with multiple children from multiple parners IS likely to have bad outcome. But your brother should be allowed to make his own mistakes and learn from them. If you condem this women for her past, we can as well condem your family for not doing a good job raising him not to know "right from wrong".
We are all so used to failed marriages today that we fail to see wrong thing even when they are right in front of us.

If you guys believe it's jazz, then take it up with God, for me I think at 31 a man is grown up enough to know his left from his right. If a woman with 2 kids does it for him, who are you to stop him? Love is a beautiful thing, so if the woman really loves him and not just trying to hang two kids around his neck, then I say, CARRY GO

I seconded @ more agreeable than other women he must have met because she has got kids,and the man just might think she is all that because she gives him peace of mind now.
He must have tried younger and single ladies but couldn't Handle them lol. You know as single hot high maintenance babes be na lol,they can make some men out of frustration go settle for one any how babe just to get peace lol. (I am laughing while I type because I am imagining what the guy is going through).
The guy no want competition at all lol,most men purposely go for some types of ladies because they no trust themselves finish. Who knows maybe he is truly in love.
Some men prefer to date a girl that won't be difficult to turn around as Mumu instead of the ones that would say "pls don't try it again or else " lol
Some men want to be champions in local places bcos no one will recognize them in high places. Too many wahala for the young man ,so my sister just help wisely without confrontation. Lol

My dear, don't mind the people insulting you for being concerned about your brother. I would be concerned too if it were to be my brother. But remember, the battle is not for you and your family to fight. Your brother is an adult, allow him to make his own decisions and to live with the consequences. If the marriage turns out to favor him, then good for him but if the marriage becomes a nightmare, that time, nobody will tell him to flee from the lady and come back and apologize to his family for being so stubborn. Be nice to this woman that he wants to marry and your family should take this situation to God in prayers. He has a way of working things out for our own good. I wish you and your family all the best during this difficult time.

Let us step back a bit and ask some critical questions..the most important being did she have those kids due to economic reasons or was she just plain naive?

God knows best...

In this modern world, a single mother is more likely the woman who refused to abort and as such is more moral.
But it happening twice is a little more difficult to justify.
However, the sister is right to be worried.....forget about the juju issue, her idiot brother is walking into a marriage where the wife already has 2 kids..... Say he has his own 2, making 4...... And if the fathers aren't paying child support, we're looking at a physical and financial nightmare

Thirsty baby mamas commenting here, they r trying to justify that they can be loved by men.. please yall should take sits. I'm not judging you but why would you have kids out of wedlock? Iv seen a lot of baby mamas that even say they are better than we that don't v kids cuz they did not abort when they got pregnant. No you were stupid and dumb to have gotten yourself pregnant. Having sex does mean you are ready for pregnancy and that is why there are contraceptives. Back to this guy that wants to marry a lady with 2 kids.please your brother needs prayers and washing of head in cele. How can he marry that kind of careless woman. There are a lot of single girls out there ..I mean the ones that are sensible enough not to indulge in baby mama drama. Please for every girl on this blog that is a baby mama deal with your stupidity and stop justifying your unholy acts.. most of you were not raped! !!!!! and stop trying to look for innocent fresh blood guys, you should be second or fifth wife of one old pot belly chief. .

You are crazy. Since when having children is a sign of moral failure? Would you like someone to meddle in your own life the way you want to intrude into your brother's?
- 8 June 2013 at 03:51
This woman's position is so discriminatory and self-righteous. Her brother is not under a spell. He's in love. He's found the woman of his dreams and she makes him happy. What his family ought to do is support him in his pursuit of happiness.
She could have children for 4 men for all (he) cares, he is marrying her. There's something he sees in her and that is enough for them to get married.
There's something called legal adoption. Your brother can adopt her children and integrate them into his family. Period!
Please be careful not to discriminate against those children. They are at the end of it brothers to the children she will bare for your brother. And that they are older, gives their younger ones a lift in life. They may end up being the ones to train your future nephew and neices and support them through life.
All this talk of 'she had children before', 'my brother is a young man' is just plain ignorant. That she has 20 children is no indication of what kind of wife she will be. She's a young woman and a young man finds her attractive and wants to keep her all his life - what's wrong in that?
Be very careful what you do and say to this woman, lest you end up cursing yourself and your own daughters. That's how the Queen of England would never find herself in the presence of a divorced person until her 3 children became divorced then she realised that divorce doesn't make anyone less human or less of who they are. At first, it wasn't too much of an issue for the crown, till her Prince Charles, in line to be king got divorced. That's how she changed the law of the land to permit a divorced person to become king. And she celebrated the marriage between her divorcee son and a divorced woman. Life has a way of making you who you discriminate against.
That she has children is a blessing and it shows that God has rewarded her.
Let her be!

Reading the title of the story, i thot this lady had something serious to say as to why her brother needs to be "saved" from this marriage but i was highly disappointed. With the level of exposure and education we claim to have in Nigeria, people still speak and act so barbaric. How on earth is a woman that has 2 kids indecent or not good enough for your brother just on that bases. Will you have preferred it if the lady had 2 abortions instead of having the kids? More often than not, pregnancies are from steady relationships. so if this is case, does this make her indecent? most women cant even count how many men they have slept with in their life time while some cant remember how many abortions they have done. Instead of you to respect the fact that this woman was brave enough to have those children, you are here saying rubbish. Then you open your mouth and say it's not like she's beautiful or rich...not once did you even talk about her character. You just judge a person because she's not pretty or rich to you and she has kids out of wedlock....what kind of human being are you. Tomorrow you'll be the first to jump high in church or ur worship house. Can you even say you are decent? are u beautiful and rich urself? have u slept with less than 5men in your life? Check urself before u condemn others. Even me that married as a virgin can never look down on a fellow woman like this...gosh!!!
- 8 June 2013 at 05:33
@ at all libers, one question we shld ask ourselves is if dis guy is ur broda,u will defintely be worried nd if d girl is ur sis,u will also be praying she gets married again. And besides are we God??? Rmba dia is no condemnation for dem dat are In Christ nd old things have passed away, all things have bcom anew.your brother is old enough nd if d lady isn't good enough?? Life will teach him a lesson.as a christain, dnt believe in spell.
- 8 June 2013 at 05:41
Now, listen young woman! I was just going to blame u 4 seeking people's opinion here cos many of dis Linda's fans often times make a joke out of serious issues and some contribute on impulse without undastanding d matter on ground. But I'm impressed that majority have spoken with one voice in different ways. Allow ur brother be okay? If its too hot 4 u to bear then, pray for him and wish dem good luck. 1) no one knows tomoro. D stone d builders rejected according to d bible may become the cornerstone. 2) Christ didn't condenm d adulterous woman and he hasn't condenmed u despite ur frailty as man, so whom are u to criticize, judge or condenm? 3)U'v not looked at dis frm other angles u'r only being too myopic and too hasty to judge. 4)She might turn out to be a source of blessing to ur family. U dnt no the kind of home u'l find urself in wen u get married tomoro or d circumstances dat may tend to hinder ur own marriage. U'r a woman o so take it easy. I'm sorry to say u can neva make a good leader anywhere xcept u try and broaden ur narrow mind. Hope 4 d best and let them be before u make urself ur brother's enemy wen things eventually turn out well btw himself and d woman.

I suppose having two abortions (which Nigerian women are doing all the time) is better than raising them abi? So it's the two children that are worrying you. Meanwhile if a woman wants to marry a man with 2 baby mamas she's not under a spell. This is why women in Nigeria will always be treated like second-class citizens - because we treat each other that way. So what do we expect men to do? Please mind your own business. If you've told him your opinion that's all that's needed. If it's a mistake he'll sort it out himself and he'll respect you a lot more for it.

It's heat breaking when I go through senseless comments on this blog.dont be stupid for Pete's sake!think bfr u start typing nonsense. Try to put ureselves in ppls shoes bfr u say things.you wouldn't talk like this if you were directly related to this guy . they are worried about him,they have every reason to!they are his family for crying out loud(for all dose asking his sister to mind her business).if it's ok for you to do whatever you like ignoring your own family,dnt expect the every other family is that way.why is it impossible for ppl on this blog to express themselves without hate and without hurting each other, it's really sad!Yes the guy is grown up,if he is sticks to his decision derz nothing else they can do than to pray that the marriage works out btw them . You can only force a horse to a stream,not to drink water. Love is a mystery,we do not choose who we fall in love with!it is possible he has found happiness with this woman as crazy as it may seem!im 100% nigerian,yes I believe in supernatural powers.im a Christian, these things happen!so juju is a possibility,yes I said it! No be for only film e dey happen, tell ureselves the truth!This matter can be viewed from different angles...n which ever the case,we should try not to judge ppl so easily.

There is nothing wrong with it. Am sure you usually have sex and then use contraceptive or carry out an abortion. She didn't choose that line so accept her for who she is.your brother sees something you don't see. Stop discouraging him.

Don't worry yourself much, I know how you feel. You certainly meant well for your brother, but toe the path of wisdom. Avoid telling him not to marry the lady, instead tell him to slow down. Involve other family members, just to be sure you are not idiosyncratic, pray for him and, as best you can, do a thorough investigation on this girl. Your findings may either confirm your fears or prove you wrong. There is more than meets the eye.

County animal officials: Pitbull attacks on rise in Indio
Two boys bit by pitbull known to be violent
INDIO, Calif. - Two boys in Indio continued to recover Monday night from bite wounds after they were attacked by a pit bull over the weekend.
A Riverside County Animal Services officer responded to a property on Avenue 43 in Indio, near Burr Street and south of Interstate 10 Saturday, after receiving a call from the Indio Police Department about the incident.
"I guess that happens when the owners don't take full responsibility of their dogs," said the boys uncle, Eddie Cardenas.
He says his two nephews wanted to go to the park Saturday afternoon, but decided to stop at a friend's house first...
"His little friend answered the door, the mom was behind him with the dog. She had the dog by the leash..." he said. That's when the pit bull broke free and lunged at the boys.
The 11-year-old suffered bites to his stomach and hand, but his wounds were described as small punctures, and he was quickly treated and released from the hospital.
The 5-year-old, however, suffered severe bites to the back of the head. The child was taken to Loma Linda where he received 61 stitches and 21 staples.
"My little nephew, the one that got bit in the head, he's not doing so well, he's pretty traumatized," Cardenas added.
He's also upset the dog had attacked before. In April, the animal bit the dog owner's son in the head, but at the time the family didn't surrender it to Riverside County Animal Services.
Animal officials say dog owners have the right to their dog depending on the severity of a bite/attack, and whether the animal has had any prior incidents. After the April bite, animal services impounded the dog and it was only released back to the owner, after a public hearing, with a "potentially dangerous dog restraining order" against it.
The dog owner's family told CBS Local 2/News Channel 3, they had never had issues with the dog prior to the April attack. They say the dog had been neutered the day before, and believed that may have made the animal aggressive. Due to the circumstances, they kept the dog.
Frank Corvino, deputy director with Riverside County Animal Services said over the past three months there's been an increase in pit bull attacks in the county. They've recorded 358 dog attacks so far, 71 of which involved pit bulls.
Indio had 23 dog attacks since May, that involved 8 pit bulls.17 of the victims were adults, 6 of them were either children or teens.
Corvino said these types of dogs were bred over time to bite.
"There's a whole debate on that but it all goes back to genetics. They have been bred to bite, to attack small animals. They've actually been bred to get along with human beings, but they don't always see smaller human beings such as children as the adult person they're suppose to be getting along with, they see them as a prey sometimes," Corvino said,
The county has pursued some legislative and local changes and mandatory spay and neuter for pit bulls and other breeds predisposed to bite, but Corvino said in the end its up the dog owner to be educated, especially if the dog had a previous incident.
"If you're going to own that type of breed you need to be educated on it, you need to know what to with it if folks come by, you need to know your dog inside and out, and be aware of the genetics," he said.
The boys uncle said the dog owner was very concerned and visited the family to check on the boys.
They surrendered the dog and animal services humanely euthanized the animal.
"It makes me feel a little better I guess that they actually got rid of the dog," Cardenas said.

US Labor, Immigration & Obama: Why AFL-CIO/SEIU Are Supporting "Guest Workers"
The AFL-CIO national leadership is supporting a compromise "reform immigration" bill that includes a slave labor "guest worker" plan. This was debated at the San Francisco Labor Council on February 25, 2013 and Al Rojas a Sacramento labor leader and a leader of LCLAA spoke at the SFLC meeting on these issues.
US Labor, Immigrants, Immigration & Obama
Why The AFL-CIO & SEIU Are Supporting "Guest Worker Programs"
At a San Francisco Labor Council meeting on February 25, 2013, Al Rojas who s a labor leader from Sacramento and also is in LCLAA discussed the Obama "reform" legislation and how it will affect immigrants and US workers. This includes a proposed "guest worker" program that will pit immigrant workers against US workers with legal documentation. He also talks about the effort by AFL-CIO officials to limit a real debate on immigration and labor and instead are mobilizing for Obama's "reform" legislation.

SF Resolution to Support an Immigration Policy Based on Labor and Human Rights
Resolution to Support an Immigration Policy Based on Labor and Human Rights
WHEREAS, Thousands of U.S. union members have been fired as a result of the enforcement
of employer sanctions against workers in the workplace, including 1200 janitors in Minneapolis,
300 janitors in Seattle, 475 janitors in San Francisco, as well as workers who have stood up to
lead organizing drives into our unions, including 2000 sewing machine operators at American
Apparel in Los Angeles; and
WHEREAS, Immigration reform bills in Washington, including the Schumer-Graham proposal,
the REPAIR proposal by Senator Schumer and several other senators, and the CIR-ASAP
proposal by Congressman Luis Gutierrez, all strengthen employer sanctions, which will cause
more of our members to be fired through programs like E-Verify, the national ID card and
employment verification, and will make it more difficult for unions to organize non-union
workplaces by making immigrant workers even more vulnerable to firings, deportations and the
denial of their rights through workplace enforcement; and
WHEREAS, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has said that that "we need to make sure
every worker in America—documented or undocumented—is protected by our labor laws" and
that we need immigration reform that "allows immigrants to be securely part of our country
from day one-able to assert their legal rights, including the right to organize, without fear of
retaliation;" and
WHEREAS, The North American Free Trade Agreement, the Central America Free Trade
Agreement, and other similar agreements, and structural adjustment policies and other so-
called economic reforms continue to boost corporate profits while creating massive poverty in
countries like Mexico, El Salvador and others, and that as a result, millions of workers and
farmers are displaced and have no alternative but to migrate in search of work, and therefore
will continue to come to the United States to work, join our unions and participate in our
organizing drives; and
WHEREAS, President Trumka has said that "the failures of our relationship with Mexico ...
cannot be solved with guns and soldiers and fences. They must be addressed through an
economic strategy for shared prosperity based on rising wages in both countries;" and
WHEREAS, The Mexican government fired 44,000 electrical workers and has tried to smash
their union, the Mexican Electrical Workers (SME), and brought thousands of heavily armed
police into Cananea to try to smash the 3-year strike of the Mineros, in both cases to create
better conditions for giant corporations by breaking unions, privatizing workplaces and
throwing workers out of their jobs, and that as a result many of those workers will be forced to
come to the United States in order to find work and help their families survive; and
WHEREAS, The largest corporations and employer groups in the United States, including
WalMart, Marriott, Smithfield, the Associated Building Contractors and others have sought to
expand guest worker programs, forcing people to come to the United States only through
those schemes that treat them as low wage workers with no rights, in conditions described as
"Close to Slavery" by the Southern Poverty Law Center; and
WHEREAS, Our labor movement has called for basic reform of our immigration laws, and adopted a
position at the AFL-CIO convention in Los Angeles in 1999 that demands the repeal of employer sanctions,
immediate amnesty for all undocumented workers, protection of the right to organize for all workers, the
strengthening of family reunification as the basis of immigration policy, and opposition to guest worker
programs; and
WHEREAS, Our labor movement believes that solidarity with workers fighting for their rights in Mexico and
around the world is an important part of immigration reform,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the San Francisco Labor Council reiterates its support for the
immigration position adopted by the AFL-CIO Convention in 1999, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the San Francisco Labor Council rejects all the proposals in Congress
that promote the firing of undocumented workers, open the doors to new guest worker programs, and do not
contain a program for the quick and inclusive legalization of undocumented workers, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the San Francisco Labor Council supports only those proposals for
immigration reform that would force the renegotiation of NAFTA, CAFTA and all other trade agreements, in
order to stop the enforced poverty that displaces communities abroad and to protect jobs in the United
States, and will oppose any new trade agreements that cause such displacement and do not protect jobs,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the San Francisco Labor Council, supports the proposal for an
alternative immigration reform bill made by the Dignity Campaign, because it is based on protecting the
labor and human rights for all people, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the San Francisco Labor Council supports the SME and the Mineros,
and calls on union members and working people to defend their rights by picketing the Mexican consulate
and taking other supportive actions, and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the San Francisco Labor Council forwards this resolution for adoption to
the California Labor Federation, the AFL-CIO, and to other local unions and central labor bodies.

Call To Endorse "United Front For Justice & Dignity" Statement on Immigration "Reform"
: El Organizador
Subject: Please Endorse the "United Front For Justice & Dignity" Statement on Immigration "Reform"
Date: February 22, 2013 4:57:05 PM PST
The United Front for Justice and Dignity is a statewide network formed with the purpose of community education and the defense of working-class and immigrant communities across California. We are labor organizations, students, individuals, and grassroots cultural, political, and community groups that have united to fight for a humane and just immigration reform that won't compromise our basic dignity, civil rights, or social protections. Our efforts aim to uplift the aspirations of our communities in obtaining positive change that truly progresses our living conditions.
Through deceptively named organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce's "Essential Workers Immigration Coalition" and the bipartisan, Fortune 500-based "Project for a New American Economy," both Wall Street and the Democratic/Republican parties are promoting what they call "sensible Comprehensive Immigration Reform" (CIR). However, these versions of CIR will involve increased militarized enforcement, continued detentions and family separations, the continuation of Poli-Migra partnerships and information-sharing programs (S-COMM, 287g), employer sanctions via E-Verify, and a tortuous "path to citizenship" that involves crippling expenses and years spent "in line."
For Wall St. or the "1 percent", the main interest in immigration reform is the introduction of "managed migration" schemes that allow those sections of the economy built on a base of criminalized migrant labor to be formally replaced with "guest worker" programs in the fields of agricultural, service, hospitality, and science/technology/engineering/mathematics ("STEM"). Under such schemes, future migrant workers in these industries will be subject to a regime similar to the notorious "Bracero Program" of indentured servitude, with grave repercussions for workers' rights.
Despite a lack of honest consultation with our families and communities, many have endorsed these "devil's bargain" forms of immigration reform. Unconditional and premature endorsement of the impending versions of CIR dictated by the Obama administration and Congress can only result in major disservice to our communities, and a dishonor to the sacrifices and contributions of countless organizations and individuals in our legacy of struggle.
Our movement must be driven and led by the community itself. History and experience have demonstrated how unity and organization can transform situations of passive acceptance, allowing us to defend ourselves from positions of strength and take initiative in the fight for a dignified future -- this purpose is what has brought us together and these are our demands:
We Demand:
* Documents and permanent residency rights for all: the right to work, higher education, drivers' licenses and public benefits for all.
* An immediate end to raids and deportations.
* No to getting in the back of the line.
* No to new "Bracero"/Guest Worker programs (modern indentured servitude).
* Workers must have the unconditional legal right to organize.
* No to the militarization of the border and our communities.
* No to E-Verify & Secure Communities [S-COMM];
* No to military service "option/backdoor draft" for Dreamers
YES to a just and humane immigration reform that eliminates the terror and anxiety in our communities, and respects the human rights of undocumented workers, families, and youth.
Join Us!
The United Front for Justice and Dignity is a community-based, action-oriented network fighting for the interests of both immigrants and non-immigrants alike. Reaching beyond our communities, we invite all honest forces to join us as we build this United Front in defense of our human rights and basic dignity.

Farm workers face dangerous heat conditions in the fields. US bosses and Obama want a "guest worker" program to further exploit our farm workers in the United States rather than allowing unionization and decent wages for farm workers.

From Wikipedia
Joseph Francis "Joe" Alaskey is an American actor, comedian and voice artist, credited as one of the successors of Mel Blanc in impersonating the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Tweety and other characters from Warner Bros. cartoons, such as Plucky Duck on Tiny Toon Adventures. Alaskey was born in Troy, New York.
Alaskey has also done voices for non-Warner Bros. characters. He has voiced Grandpa Lou Pickles on Rugrats (inheriting the role after David Doyle's death in 1999). He voiced Lou again in the Rugrats spin-off series, All Grown Up!. He also created the voice of Thomas Timberwolf for the internet series TimberWolf, created by animation legend Chuck Jones. Alaskey was heard briefly as the voice-over announcer for the Toon Disney channel (and sometimes Dcom extras on Disney Channel). He was the voice of Curt Connors in the Spider-Man 2 video game and Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man: Friend or Foe.
Alaskey has been seen occasionally on screen impersonating Jackie Gleason, with whom he shares a physical resemblance. In the 1980s, Gleason personally chose Alaskey to re-record selected dialogue from the "lost episodes" of The Honeymooners found in Gleason's private collection.[1] Alaskey also provided a vocal Gleason impersonation in the "Mighty's Wedlock Whimsy" episode of Ralph Bakshi's Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures in 1988, and a Cary Grant impersonation in "The Bride of Mighty Mouse" episode from the same season. Alaskey was in the independent film The Legend of Sasquatch and voices Mermaid Man in the video games SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! and SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab. Alaskey also voiced Stinkie in Casper as well as that film's 1996 animated spin-off, The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper.
Alaskey is known for playing the role of Beano Froelich in the television sitcom Out of This World. Alaskey left the show early in its final season but made appearances in a few episodes.
In the 80s, Alaskey worked as the original announcer on the short-lived game show Couch Potatoes, hosted by Marc Summers and was a Panelist on The New Hollywood Squares starring John Davidson. Alaskey would make on-screen appearances, portraying the show's "next door neighbor." For the show's final weeks, Alaskey was replaced by Jim McKrell and the "next door neighbor" concept was dropped.
In 1994, Alaskey voiced McKluck and the Sneetches in Storybook Weaver, and later in 2004, deluxe version in Storybook Weaver Deluxe.
In 2008, Alaskey participated in a unique interview conducted by Logan Leistikow and released by TheYellowMic.com. He answered questions and told his story, then went out onto Hollywood Boulevard and talked to people on the street who wanted to hear his famous voices. This was the first time Alaskey had performed in public in this manner.
In 2014, Alaskey started narrating the television documentary series "Murder Comes To Town." The series airs on the Investigation Discovery Network.
Joe passed away on February 3, 2016 from cancer.

Do I need to use any "water preserves" or something else to kill bacteria growth? I found this "Aerobic Stabilized Oxygen Water Preserver" but am not familiar with it; has anyone used it? I also heard of some people using a little bit of bleach or baking soda; but would like advice.
Much Thanks!

Scooters Come Zipping Out Of The Past
Stand-up scooters are all the rage among preteens and adolescents. But a growing number of adults are zipping around on scooters of a different kind: the motorized bikes Europeans have relied on for transport since the 1940s. Audrey Hepburn rode one in Roman Holiday, but more recently, scooters have made cameos in The Talented Mr. Ripley and the Austin Powers films, as well as numerous music videos and print ads.
The exposure has given the scooter a retro cachet, allowing it to ride the same nostalgia fad as the Volkswagen Beetle. There are also practical reasons for the scooter's growing popularity. With gas prices soaring and urban parking spaces hard to find, "scooters have become unbelievably popular," says Barry Synoground, publisher of Scoot! Quarterly, a magazine dedicated to the trend.
As a result, more makes and models are available with a full range of options and prices. Italian makers Aprilia and Italjet have entered the U.S. market with classically styled scooters reminiscent of models made in Italy by Vespa and Lambretta after World War II--but boasting engines that meet today's emissions standards. Before 1998, aficionados seeking vintage styling made do with restored American-made Cushmans (the company quit making scooters in the 1960s), or Vespas and Lambrettas that were imported before stricter pollution laws banned them in the 1980s.
NEW BREED. Other new entrants are MuZ of Germany and Derbi of Spain, both offering more futuristic, aerodynamic designs. They join Japanese manufacturers Honda and Yamaha, whose scooters also have a modern, sleek look. Regardless of style, you can spend anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the size and complexity of the engine and various extras such as antitheft devices and hand-tooled leather saddles.
The first thing to understand about scooters is that they aren't motorcycles. You don't straddle them; rather, you sit, resting your feet on a floorboard in front of you. Scooters also have leg shields to protect you from dust and puddles.
Most of the newer models are automatic, so you don't have to worry about shifting gears. And they're easier to maneuver than motorcycles, thanks to their smaller wheels and wheelbase. Scooters are hundreds of pounds lighter than motorcycles, zippier, and "just plain more fun to ride," says Tom Karppi, a 39-year-old archivist for the U.S. Navy and member of the Funky Spunk Monkeys scooter club, which meets every month to scoot around Annapolis, Md. Karppi gave up his Harley-Davidson for a snappy red-and-white Aprilia in 1999.
When buying a scooter, you have to decide how environmentally friendly you want your machine to be. New models, which get 45 to 65 miles per gallon of unleaded gas, emit far less exhaust, and thus comply with clean-air regulations. Most manufacturers now make scooters with four-stroke engines as well as the traditional two-stroke kind. Four-stroke engines--similar to your car's--keep the lubrication and fuel systems separate. This checks emission levels, because no oil is burned in the combustion process. Two-stroke engines, meanwhile, now feature improved exhaust designs that meet emissions standards.
Cleanliness costs. Scooters with four-stroke engines run $1,000 to $2,000 more than those with two-stroke engines. If you have your heart set on a vintage scooter, don't worry. In most states, older models are grandfathered in, so you can ride them without fear of sanction.
URBAN MACHINES. You also have to decide how large an engine you want. Scooters range from 50 cc to 250 cc. "If you're going to do any freeway riding, climbing hills, or you're just a big person, you need to get one of the larger engines" of at least 200 cc, says Scott Feeley, manager of Apollo Motorsports, which sells and repairs scooters in Houston. Smaller scooter engines max out around 40 mph, whereas the larger ones get up to about 60 mph. That's powerful and safe enough to tool around city streets, but not advisable for busy interstates.
You generally don't need a special license to drive a scooter, although regulations vary by state. Bear in mind that, in some states, scooters with larger engines (more than 50 cc in New York, for example) are classified as motorcycles, which means you'd have to get a motorcycle license and pay more for motorcycle insurance. Insuring a scooter costs about $200 per year, vs. $700 for a motorcycle. Laws also vary as to what age you must be to ride a scooter, whether you can ride between lanes of traffic, and if you have to wear a helmet (though most riders say you should). Contact your state's highway department to find out the rules of the road.
Whether you're looking for an alternative mode of transportation or just a really fun toy, a motor scooter might be right up your alley.

'Nip/Tuck' Beauty Kelly Carlson Talks Favorite Memories, What's Next For Her & More
Cast chemistry is crucial in television, and the stars of the FX drama Nip/Tuck have gotten it right since day one. Actors Kelly Carlson, Julian McMahon, and Dylan Walsh will be saying farewell to the characters they have played to perfection over the past seven seasons this March. Dr. Christian Troy will no longer be showcasing his playboy swagger on your television screens each week, and Dr. Sean McNamara will drink his final glass of scotch, as it's last call for Nip/Tuck nation.
The beautiful Kelly Carlson has played the role of prominent porn-star turned interior decorator Kimber Henry perfectly for the past seven years on the groundbreaking drama Nip/Tuck. Carlson discussed her favorite moments from the show, how she stays in great shape, and what's next for her in an interview for Starpulse.
Brian McKeon: Nip/Tuck is about to wrap up after an extremely impressive hundred episode run. Why do you think the show has been so successful over the past seven years?
Kelly Carlson: I think when Nip/Tuck came out it was a fresh new idea, and I think that it was culturally current for us being that it was about plastic surgery. I think that it was kind of in the beginning of the wave of plastic surgery when it wasn't quite in the norm as much as it is now so it was intriguing. At the same time, because it was kind of a cliché idea, it was a very intellectual show, it was very clever, it was well written, and it was shocking (laughs), straight up shocking.
Everyone knows about Kimber and Christian's love/hate relationship on the show, but how's the cast off-screen? Are you a close group?
We're definitely friends, that's for sure, but everyone kind of lives far away. Julian's in Australia, Joely (Richardson)'s in England, I'm in Canada a lot, so we're all kind of spread out. We all had a great working relationship, and Julian and I are friends but it's not like we see each other a lot. I think we all hung out a lot more in the beginning of the series.
On Wednesday's (2-17-10) episode during a dream sequence with Julian McMahon on the beach you looked absolutely stunning. How do you stay in such great shape?
Thanks! Well, lifestyle. I take really good care of myself. I work out a lot and I eat very well. You know what it is? I'm just very disciplined. I don't drink alcohol and I don't smoke. I'm just disciplined, that's all.
Nip/Tuck is one of the most controversial and exciting shows in history. What's been your favorite moment or episode over the past seven years?
One of my favorite ones to watch, and I didn't have any dialogue in it, was when Kimber had her little cocaine binge in the bathroom in season two (laughs). I liked the music and stuff like that and it was fun to do. There's so many it's so hard to pick. You know, Julian and I always had a fun time working together, since we were always doing something ridiculous. We didn't really have a boring day at work ever.
A huge benefit to fans is the fact that the complete series is going to be released on iTunes in HD (Nip/Tuck Complete Series on iTunes). Do you ever watch the earlier episodes and look back on how the show's evolved over the past seven years?
Yeah, I love to see how much younger I looked (laughs). No I'm joking, yes I do.
You certainly have a huge following of fans around the country. What's next for you?
Well, I'm working on it right now. It's pilot season and I haven't gone out on pilot season in years, so I've been reading a bunch of scripts, looking at new shows, and it's really interesting just how different Nip/Tuck is from a lot of shows. I want to find a good fit, a good character. I'm going to try and go in a different direction so I'm in the middle of making those decisions right now.
A much more important type of plastic surgery than the type done by McNamara/Troy is the amazing work done by the Smile Network, which provides surgeries for children with birth defects who would not be able to be treated without the help. You're on the Advisory Board of that organization. Is that a really rewarding experience?
Absolutely. I do a lot of different kinds of charity work and that is one of them which is kind of ironic. One of the reasons why I decided to work with them is because it is plastic surgery, and the irony of me being on Nip/Tuck. It's just providing any sort of service I can for them or bringing their organization to the light more and the awareness. I'm going on a mission which is great to Peru or one of their locations.
Loved and feared by both males and females alike, Kelly Carlson's character Kimber Henry was able to roll sexy, mischief, and insecurity all into one. With Nip/Tuck ending in a few shorts weeks, fans will be patiently waiting for Kelly Carlson's next move. But not to worry, fans can hold Kimber Henry and the rest of the crew close to their hearts forever, as the complete Nip/Tuck series is available on iTunes. You can relive everything from Kimber's cocaine binge to Matt McNamara's venture into the world of transsexuals here: Nip/Tuck Complete Series on iTunes.
