Man uses billboards to ‘find a wife’
A UK-based bachelor took to advertising himself on huge billboards in his quest to find a wife.
Muhammad Malik had set up a website and bought several advertising hoardings across Birmingham to look for a prospective life partner, according to new reports.
The 29-year-old entrepreneur could be seen smiling as he jokingly asked to be “saved” from an arranged marriage in billboards that popped up across the city and in Manchester.
Mr Malik, who is from London but considers Birmingham his second home, said that he was not opposed to the idea of arranged marriage but wanted to “try and find someone on my own first.”
“I just haven’t found the right girl yet. It’s tough out there. I had to get a billboard to get seen!” he clarified on his website.
“My ideal partner would be a Muslim woman in her 20s, who’s striving to better.” He wrote. Since he put up the billboards, Mr Malik said he had received hundreds of messages.
Mr Malik said he tried a few other methods to find a future wife before plastering his face on billboards.
He said he tried dating apps and a few dating events, before a friend suggested that he should literally advertise himself. — ndtv.com
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
