Tell me if what you said is nothing happening under democrazy?

It's not a regular occurrence, judging by Nairaland alone, most of una would have been picked up by now if it was the military regime.

thomas2024:
And one mumu person is telling me military regime should not be in Nigeria. What is the different between APC regime and military regime? APC is operating in a military garb but hiding under democrazy. Tueh!

The difference is under military regime once you finished typing like this, your mind go dey do gbim gbim, you're likely to be visited and dealt with within 3 to 5 business days

I disagree with this! The thing about traditional marriage is that it is not written anywhere in stone, yet people to this day pretend it is an ironclad arrangement that should be followed no matter what. Why? Because the system thrives on the ignorance of the female gender.

Marriage is already an agreement/contract between a man and a woman. The contract allows the women to make arrangements to have their own allowance from the dividends of the marriage. The law does not literally need to spell these things out. They put in labor during their time in the marriage, and they should know they are not slaves but partners in the marriage. If the man can enjoy the dividends of the marriage, they too should be entitled to their own share.

What you had in the UK is a legal marriage, not a traditional marriage. And bad then, the law literally had to specify that women couldn't receive so and so. Those limitations are what had to be removed, leaving the contracts up to individual couples to add whatever conditions they wish. Nigerian legal marriage laws are defined a lot similarly to what is obtained in the US and UK. Marital property is recognized, and yes, depending on the circumstances, women are entitled to a portion of it. But that is not what this is about now.

Can you show me where it states that a woman who was married traditionally is entitled to property or to be provided for when the marriage dissolves? I'm looking for the historical precedence and I've yet to find any, not in Yoruba or Igbo traditions and I know for sure it is not in any Hausa or Fulani tradition.

We must be careful not to rewrite history by our modern beliefs, traiditionally women didn't get shin shin after leaving a marriage, this is backed by historical facts so if we are to use traditional marriages as the premise here then I believe women are at a huge disadvantage!

Kobojunkie:
It is due to financial abuse. Nigeria's traditional marriage system breeds financial abuse of women. These women are entitled to a portion of the dividends of the marriage — a portion of the earnings regularly for their labor and time contributed to the marriage. Unfortunately, the system thrives on keeping women ignorant and subdued.

They are not entitled to anything until it is backed by law as it was done in the UK and US in the 1970s, unfortunately the men and the WOMEN that make laws in this country have other priorities, getting fat from public funds.....SHAME!

6 kids and then casted out without being provided for, this is the main issue with divorce in 9ja and unless something is done about it, many women would rather kpai the husband than to get a divorce without sharing of assets.

Ozzyk:
It is easy to talk when you are not the victim of the scenario
And for the record she doesn't vomit, no spitting, no fever, no fatigue no nausea
She has a very very mild symptoms
Which has not prevented her from doing what she was doing before she took in and day to day activities

BULLSHIT.....You've obviously not been paying attention, you're still behaving like a child, pay more attention to her and you'll start to notice some things. Take it from me, a soon to be father of THREE!

Guy your head no correct o! First time pregnancy from someone that has not done adequate knacking and newly wed, of course she's not prepared for the rollercoaster she's on! Instead of you to be a supportive partner and forsake your own needs for awhile, you're already fuming and foaming in just a month, sho gbadun?

Do you understand all the hormones, bloating, spitting, nausea and other things going on? Better give yourself brain and reassure her that everything will be okay. If you must know, some women even the smell of your body can cause them to vomit, DON'T BE SELFISH!

Nonexisting1:
A son raised outside his real family land and his ancestors can not have peace and will not give peace to people around him because his spririt is restless. It's just like an ohu. This is why black Americans and black Europeans will continue to commit crimes and cause troubles because they are not where they belong. A man should be raised by his real father. Many families that have disputes today, go and check who started the trouble there. It is either an adopted son or a son with foreign blood. Doing dna tests especially on your sons is like doing yourself and the entire community a whole good. Do it immediately after birth before building emotional attachment with the child which will make it harder on you.

RUBBISH.....White Americans or Europeans no dey commit crime? You think white Americans came from America? LEEMAO

Wetin una wan go do for world cup? Na this rubbish we wan go play? Yeye!

Both are now mediocre living off old glory, Wizkid dey sing nonsense while Davido album only has one or two tracks that is actually enjoyable, rest na ofutufete. Compared to Kizz Daniel or even BXNX, these guys are just scamming Nigerians, don't know who attend their shows and actually enjoyed the music .

It's like the rappers over here in the US, the OGs na only name dem dey use hold body, lyrically they're DONE!

anonimi:
What 40% of the promises on the campaign poster are you talking about? Did he promise to be a TAX master for the people?

Why were PDP politicians not as typical, based on their better performance in 16 years of deregulation and privatisation capitalist policies for widespread prosperity of all Nigerians? All these changed with APC palliative sharing shege of the past decade.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/05/may-day-hunger-unemployment-insecurity-real-tinubu/

Youre spewing nonsense, I wrote strictly on the 1999 election campaign, that Tinubu is drastically different from the one you see now, stop mixing apples and oranges!

Typical politician, 60% fluff, 40% reality. For that 40% he did magnificiently well from civil servants to recognizing the income potential of Lagos through taxation and commerce. Let's not forget the revamping of motor parks and creating jobs for street urchins(agberos), man chopped money but also allowed others to chop, many millionaries and billionaires were made from 1999 till now, even his enemies got richer thanks to him

In a sane county, why would the presiddent be nominating those in charge of the electoral process? What does the I in INEC stand for? Una never ready for true revolution, even scholars and legal professionals dey turn blind eye for this blatant assault on democracy!

Beware of statistics that you can't verify the population or sample size, it is either skewed or intentionally falsified! I know things are hard in Nigeria but make una use una brain na.....Gaza, South Sudan, Syria.....Plenty of places worse than 9ja, even the slums in India with over 100 million people!

IGBOSON1:
This has fckall to do with 'envy'! There's enough blame to go round, but a nuanced assessment of how we got to where we are as a country, especially from 2015 to date, would place the south-west and muslim core north at the very top of the blame pyramid or totem pole! I personally have realised that my people and i can NEVER be safe and secure sharing the same country with unreasonable people who can do ANYTHING to snatch political and economic power and the control over the appropriation and 'rewards' process! Your sort have a tunnel vision that has everything to do with ethnicity, nepotism, xenophobia, vengeance and islamic supremacy....and little or nothing to do with fairness, sacrifice, nation building and core Christian values!

On topic: Had this happened in the south-east, all we'd have been hearing by now are daft and provocative statements like 'Igbo killing Igbo'; 'we warned you about suporting IPOB/ESN'; 'Igbo don't love themselves'; and such bullshit! Nigeria has happened to yet another poor soul and this is why i so despise that useless country!

Pot calling kettle black, your people are known for the same shit and even more extreme. Your delusion that an Igbo man will suddenly reduce or eliminate the kidnappings and terror is laughable. Why can't we see an example of this magical act in the East? Charity begins at home don't you agree?

Nigeria's problems can't be fixed by a single man, president or no president, the only true solution is to split up and unfortunately not even an IGBO president would be daring enough to carry out such a REVOLUTION!

I didn't even need to read the story before knowing it is India. Uf you think Nigerians get craze, you haven't mingle with Indians....Werey people

MarkNsukkaBread:
According to African traditions whether the child is biologically that of the husband or not is irrelevant, so long as he accepts the child it is recognized as his own

No such thing as African traditions, we have over 20,000 ethnic groups in Africa, how can one tradition speak for all of them, stop the LAMBA!

googi:
Though I agree with your rationale, it still does not justify why a great country like Nigeria should linger in poverty for the past 40 years.

All the countries you mentioned used to come to Nigeria to fetch an income for their families the way Nigerians do abroad now. Our politicians plunder and launder more lots abroad than foreign investment and remittance into the country. A leaking basket.

Yet Nigerian importers, most of whom have no finished manufactured goods to export hailed liberal open market no country in the world embrace or practice.

The only time naira was pound to pound to British money and one naira to one and half American dollar was when people go to jail for foreign money violations. Today, money we can't print are legal tender in Nigeria.

You're making my case for me, what makes Nigeria great? Which attributes did you observe that makes Nigeria great? Those countries haven't patronized Nigeria heavily since 1980s, Nigeria is a country that has nothing outside of crude oil and human resources. It is a country spending or stealing more than it is producing, a nation of debt and insanity. The country will continue to languish in poverty for the next 100 years due to population alone but that does not mean there are not worse countries out there in terms of poverty!

LivingEarthMan:
What stops you from continuing your bloodline? Your wife committed adultery and got pregnant for another man without your knowledge of the affair or without you knowing that the pregnancy is not yours, if she already had a child for you before the incidence or she later have a child for you after the incidence, how does your bloodline cease to continue?

There is nothing like raising the seed of another man if you realise that ultimately, all human have a single origin. We all came from ONE SEED. There is a reason they say whatever you do to others you do it to yourself. That is because we are all one and interconnected.

The law I proposed is meant to ensure that any man who mess around with a married woman is not allowed to reap the benefit of his evil deed.

You need a lesson in statistics....Go and look up the amount of FIRST BORN child that is not biologically the husband's in Nigeria! You're heading down a slippery lane with this mindset already as without paternity tests you have no way of knowing which child is yours or not hence the THREAT to the bloodline!

Apart from genetical/medical issues such as blood type and so on, there are spiritual implications so no my friend, no such thing as ONE SEED!

Statistics without context just to fool the gullible. Define poor? You can survive on $2 per day in 9ja but in China it would take closer to $4. There are more poor people in China than 9ja.

To clarify, 10% of Chinese population lives on less than $4 per day, that's approximately 140 million people, Indonesia about 55 million people, India about 80 million. Even in America we have over 40 million people in extreme poverty based on the standard of living.

Don't just spew stats but analyze it objectively!

IbrahimSola:
Obviously you're viewing what i wrote from the very lens that i was cautioning against. Good luck in your partnership. Truly in the UK, the word "wife" has been replaced with "partner". Good luck in your partnership, I have no time to debate. Do the one that suits you. But when you do, find out if the man (whether she is a male or a female) is truly happy in the partnership.

Whether UK, US or 9ja, if you reduced your wife to nothing more than a child bearing cooker/cleaner then you're still living in the 1800s! Mr.macho man, what happens if you kpai or became disabled? That woman that you failed to invest in, that woman that you failed to empower will now all of a sudden be at the mercy of the government in order to feed the family?

Come over to the USA and see the legacies your mates left behind, ordinary funeral they have to do gofundme.....SHAME!

LivingEarthMan:
The best and permanent solution to paternity fraud to me is not even DNA test. It is for government to make a law declaring that if a woman is confirmed to be pregnant after legal marriage, the child automatically belongs to the husband and no Jupiter from anywhere can come out to claim the child, in fact any man who comes out to claim the child would be jailed for life.

And if the wife takes the child to the biological father or inform the child that her husband is not the real father she would be jailed for life.

And the child is permanently banned by law from ever recognising the illegitimate father as his or her father as long as the legal father is still alive.

This type of law would permanent stop paternity fraud.

How does that solve the root of the problem that as a man you're not continuing your bloodline? How does this resolve the fact that as a man you're raising the seed of another man?

IbrahimSola:
You see this idea of partnership? It has broken so many homes. Marriage is not a partnership, it is supposed to be an institution where the woman subjects to the man and the man loves his wife. Any other definition of marriage will take the purpose out of it. If you call it partnership or contract, then you're not supposed to expect love. Frankly speaking, the way marriage has turned out to be, women need it more than men. Have you ever seen men fasting and praying for marriage, or a partnership? It is only women who wear wedding gown, sorry, partnership gown and take the "step of faith" to find a partner who will be willing to accept her into his partnership.

The earlier women get it the better for them, because by mere seeing it, women need this marriage of a thing more. Marriage can be seen as a manipulated "partnership" that benefit the woman more. And as a matter of fact, women have nothing like love... it is the men who have love and God expects them to share the love to the loveless ones. Imagine a family where the woman is in charge... that one na marriage? Call me whatever you want, but the authority of the home or partnership has been given to the man by God himself. Any distortion breeds a faulty partnership, since marriage should be thrown out of the window. Women, especially those of Christian faith should stop fasting and praying for men when they can survive on their own. What do they even need men or marriage for in the first place?

Then you're simply not exposed and would never survive in a country where the standard of living is very high. Marriage is indeed a partnership and your own definition of partnership get k-leg! The real definition of partnership is assisting one another, abroad 90% of households run on partnership, even the full time housewives are saving their husbands from daycare/nanny costs.

You don't command authority or respect by making all the decisions, what happens if you became disabled, unemployed or dead? You've just succeded in putting your wife and kids in a very desperate situation.......The world has moved beyond this myopic thinking, unless you're a real odogwu where money na water, you better believe marriage is indeed a partnership!

What changesd since 2015? NADA......The economy is still reliant on oil while the population continues to grow at an alrming rate and corruption left unchecked.

Want to hear a shocking fact? The number of millionaires in dollars actually increased since 2015, now that's proper WITCHCRAFT

AfDapone:
I'm not tax expert but but some income are subjected to tax exemption.

This is gambling income, it can never be exempted

Good intentions but bad reporting.....That 150k is subjected to a 40% tax, leaving at most 90k for the charities!

Apogee14:
I don't know her but I know the fact they grudgingly put her as number 4 as a black woman means she is number 1. These white people are sick. There is this narcissistic need to feel like they are superior in everything and they will lie to do it. This why they hate black GOATS like Mayweather and Mohammed Ali. They only started liking him after he became disabled. They only like you if you are dying or dead

The fact that you didn't even look at stats nor the criteria used to select winners proves the white people right about some blacks....Sha no use this brain cross road

This is why the new tax laws makes sense gan......Imagine only paying taxes on 5 million per year when in reality you made over 100 million net......Even if na gift, you must to pay tax, e ti ri nkan nkan

God made a way for you to escape the zoo and this is what you do? Guess you can take the animals out of the zoo but you can't take the zoo out of the animals......Now dem go diddy you all for less than 300k dollars, money wey me and my guys dey make steadily the old fashioned way every year or two....SHAME!

Nobody popular pass devil.....In every culture, every tradition, every locale.....The fear of the devil reigns supreme, Jesus would have come top but some people don't believe in Jesus or see him as mere human.
