Business is all about offer and acceptance, before Trump's tariffs, you could get a plate for $20 and some tax but now any 9ja business that tries such is either cutting corners elsewhere or will soon go bankrupt! Apart from the imported stuff, beef, chicken and turkeys are now more expensive, utility rates for electricity and gas are about 15% more expensive and let's not forget they can't hire illegal staff anymore because every one of them don go into hiding, so it is inevitable, cook at home or PAY!

Poor planning and lack of foresight! What happened to appetizers and drinks, something to hold body till the main course is served or did you put everything on ONE caterer? Wetin do small chops and chilled beverage?

ajalawole:
do you watch Brentford yesterday. Is man utd player that are all trash. Brentford play 3 back with 5 midfield, the midfield was so crowd that Chelsea can't even breath and those attack was like 4 forward how thier coach did it is what amuse me. Those united player don't like amrorim and all they are playing is part of the plan to get him sack. Young coach hardly get respect from players in a big club

That's CAP....Brentford actually played 5-3-2 with overlapping wingbacks, not 3 at the back, most of the game was spent with 5 defenders playing low block, which Chelsea usually struggles against!

Fake story, even with the cheating, the home belongs to the woman and the kid. The worst that would happen is a forced sale where the profit is split between the man and woman.

Another complication, as long as he signed the birth certificate, some states makes it compulsory for him to pay child support till the kid turns 18, something sounds fishy here

Cruise or no cruise, parents raise your daughters or sons properly, let them have so much value in themselves that nothing can shake that.....Let them love life so much that the mere thought of not being in it is considered a taboo! Above all, let them know that nothing last forever and nobody is irreplaceable!

Kobojunkie:
1. Na the women wey dey marry your kind I dey pity pass.

2. Why didn't the man simply remain by himself then and hire other people to take care of the other needs? I know that hiring a cook and a cleaner alone — legal routes now —would probably cost you more than that 100K and then some, in addition to you still paying for shelter, food, and other bills.

Pity yourself, my woman is very happy to work and not live life like a leech! Most men can cook baisc foods, a bachelor would only need a small apartment to survive, so all in all he's still going to save more money. Being a wife does not mean you shouldn't have goals or a career, imagine in 2025 still thinking you need an allowance from a man to survive.....SHAME!

Kobojunkie:
Marriage is a business agreement between two individuals/partners. Your wife is not a source of free labor for you. She, too, deserves a share of the profits of the marriage, and for most of you, that is the salary the provider in the household makes at the end of each month.

What free labor? Man pays for the shelter, pays for food and other bills, that's not enough for the perceived free labor you provide? If you were by yourself won't you provide all these things? He does not owe you any allowance, whatever he gives you is a privilege not a right. If you want unquestionable money, get a damn job!

DaGC:
You saying it's a lie isn't concrete, it's an opinion. Besides, he erred by comparing a city to a state.

Opinions can still be rooted in facts, someone in that position should not be throwing around baseless opinions, it is pure quackery!

DaGC:
I think some people here are missing the concept. He is a Special Adviser to the Governor. He is just doing his job. And the buzz this has generated has already validated his job position.

If you have been in both places, then be a judge yourself. 1 man's opinion is not fact.

His job is not lying....You can hype your territory without using falsehoods, that's highly unprofessional and the cheap publicity won't override the lies once discovered!

This is democracy working, now take it to the Supreme court. The Supreme court will be the ultimate decider and we all know there's a 80% chance of it ruling in Trump's favor in some capacity.

Life insurance darling.

How many Nigerians have regular insurance not to talk of life insurance? Which Nigerian insurance company can you trust to actually pay out?

Omoawoke:
You have a good point to be honest…

And no one prays to be widowed at a young age… apart from kpai, things happen that can make one be financially weak for a while and need time to bounce back.

But do you know when some start giving up on independent women, bro I swear to you, we have seen and stilll seeing several cases where a man loses his job and the woman begins to show the man hell in the house because she’s now the bread winner. When I mean hell, like real hell

I have a friend who lost his job and the wife almost drove him to suicide even though she is working and doing well and bringing something to the table.

Let me tell you something bro, never ever pray to go down as a man, because the dead man sometimes have more peace than the living man that has lost his sources of livelihood and thinks he has a woman in his house that could have brought something to the table

You're right but life happens, this is where marrying a good woman comes into play, a woman that's not afraid to spend on you when the times are good will surely not abandon you when the going gets tough! I'm not talking about all these gen nonsense women but those who are firmly rooted in God and duty.

Lekby25:
That guy doesn't want all those things you are talking about, to him the only thing important in a marriage is money. A wife that will make him have money. Not that, that is not important, but that is not the only important thing in life. Without a good wife to give you joy and peace and happiness, even if you have billions, your billions will be meaningless

It's not about money but being resourceful. Imagine the man kpai, how the woman go take care of the kids if she's never worked or ran a business? She go go back to begging?

Omoawoke:
What’s bad about her response ?

I am a man and that’s the duty of a woman to give you a good home and good kids..
men really underestimate these things… why no go marry man or stay single and be doing soapy

So God forbid if you kpai now, how the woman go survive and take care of the kids? She go return to begging or she go find another man to take care of things? The reason women in advanced countries advocate for self dependency is because of the many tragedies of life......Are you willing to risk the welfare of your kids on a woman that has nothing else to offer than to bear children? Reason am!

aribisala0:
You cannot reframe the argument with your ridiculous example
Islamic woman are prohibited from marriage to ALL non Muslim full stop
That is not the issue
The issue is doctrine
Islam considered Christianity to be Idolatrous as far a doctrine is concerned and I gave the example of Trinity

So talk about what elements of Judaism doctrine that Islam disagree with not diversionary arguments

Islam in its teaching is closer to Judaism

Both agree that JESUS IS NOT GOD

Again I already provided you with passages, it is you that needs to provide evidence for your assertions! Show me where in the Quran that the distinction was made between Christians and Jews, provide the exact passage or STFU!

aribisala0:
infidel
You used the word if you cannot back it up the back it off
What does infidel mean?

The point specifically is the RELATIVE ATTITUDE of Islam to Judaism and Christianity . Islam does not view them equally. Because Islam and Judaism agree on
1. The oneness of God
2. That Jesus is not God and therefore the Trinity doctrine is idolatrous
3. Muslims cannot ordinarily eat meat slaughtered byChristians butcan eat that slaughtered by. Jews
so you need to educate yourself by understanding what is being said FIRST before you talk


The point was doctrinally
Islam does not have any problem with Judaism whilst itdoes with Christianity

Christianity and Judaism is not the same thing as Christians and Jews

Islam and Christianity cannot agree because Islam rejects divinity of Jesus like Judaism

Read comprehend before you comment

Again you can continue arguing over semantics, I'm not going to play that game with you, whether it is infidel or unbelievers or people who hide from the truth. The Quranic passages I provided to you does not differentiate between Christians and Jews, that is something you're making up in your own mind.

I can tell you without a doubt that a truly Islamic woman who wants to marry a Jew or Christian would face the same type of rebuke so what the heck are you talking about? You're the one that needs a lesson in comprehension my friend! Look at the nonsense you wrote above specifically point 3, are you normal?

aribisala0:
That is actually not true
What is infidel? Can you provide a definition with a source

Muslims will eat kosher food
Islam considered Christianity more idolatrous because of the doctrine of Trinity

Judaism has the same view
Their fundamental agreement us that Jesus is not God and calling him God is idolatrous

Whilst Muslims recognise Jesus as a prophet

Judaism does NOT RECOGNISE JESUS AS ANYTHING RELEVANT or a criminal or false prophet

You need to study history about how Jews were treated in Europe

I'm not going to drag us into Pandora's box, you can educate yourself on the meaning of infidels/unbelievers/Kafir and how the Quran considers anyone that deviates from the right path as such. There are several passages in the Quran that frowns at associating with such people including seeking advice from them.

I come from a Muslim background so don't think I'm here slandering Muslims, I'm just stating facts from the Quran itself. Here are distinct passages in the Quran that should put all doubt away:

9:29: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (“People of the Book” refers to Christians and Jews.)

9:30: "The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of Allah,” while the Christians say, “The Messiah is the son of Allah.” Such are their baseless assertions, only parroting the words of earlier disbelievers. May Allah condemn them! How can they be deluded ˹from the truth˺?"

aribisala0:
I understand the Islamic element but I don't understand the Christian element
1. Jews are not Christians
2. Jews were never treated well in Europe. Its not as if Europeans like them or treated them well. I fact they moved to the current location for that reason
3. What is the Affinity on Christians in Nigeria with Israelis not just Nigeria but black Africa

The Israelis and Arabs despise black Africans so why are we siding with them

I understand Muslims but what of Christians what is their business

Well you have to look at it this way, both Jews and Christians are considered infidels by Muslims, this in turn leads many Jews and Christians to align in their hatred against Muslims. It's all connected and due to Israel's long conflict with Islamic countries and the promise in the Bible that Israel will never be defeated, many Christians naturally takes Israel's side.

aribisala0:
That is a deflection
I am not from Turkey and don't speak for them
Presumably you are Nigerian

So I am interested in a Nigerian position and how we arrive at that
I am not trying to play games so you are free to refuse to engage with me

What I have observed is that some Nigerians think that there are sides to the conflict based on religious Affinity

Because I an neither Christian nor Muslim I an not moved by that

That is why I asked my question
If you don't want to answer it is okay

Not only in Nigeria but all around the world. there's certainly a religious element to it, this can't be denied.

Define finish? Because most women stil spot here and there. Also this is nowhere in the Quran, becareful listening to all these so called scholars, they have not kept up with the times and are scientifically inept and religiously compromised!

ednut1:
most Africans countries are backward. In Nigeria for example its 2025 and there is no public water system. Many stereotypes are truths

There's no public water system in America either, it's all commercialized and you pay for it directly or indirectly!

Nonsense.....Your child must not be the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs in order to be successful, look at Nigeria, content creators are making more than doctors and scientists. The world has evolved beyond this 1970s thinking, knowledge can be gotten from traditional and non traditional means, don't limit your child based on your own mental stagnation!

Nowadays we have 2 to 3 year old reading and spelling thanks to Youtube videos, when I was 2 or 3, we no read shin shin, these kids are advanced because of technology, they are exponentially more thought provoking than previous generations and are able to multitask/think outside the box rather than behaving like zombies being led on a leash.......JI MA SUN!

This is bullshit, 9 to 5 signifies the standard workday, this according to Cambridge and other prestigious organizations. Let nobody bobo you with this revisionist nonsense!

Fenrir:
Last Post banned did it fella?
Please understand that is no such thing as white guilt anymore

Black Americans and black Caribbeans and all black people displaced from slavery are starting to wake up and resent you in Africa

Your ancestors sold them willingly no one to Africa to take anyone white ancestors just accepted a deal your ancestors offered

The only people that actually travelled to Africa originally intending to take people were those of a particular Arab belief system

Again another made up shit, you're here on an African forum spweing nonsense yet won't provide any credible proof of these so called group that killed more people than whites, ain't that something?.....GTFO clown

Fenrir:
I have never said i dont agree with that SOME men of my people are monsters

I admit im a monster, im the big bad wolf that will huff and puff and blow your whole world down, things i did in the war of Afghanistan would make you cry yourself to sleep every night all it does to me is keep me awake but the MAJORITY of white men do not hurt children or women whereas the MAJORITY of black and African men DO hurt women and children because today in 2025 the MAJORITY of black and African men are of a particular belief system and you all seem to follow their lead

Get out of here with your bullshit, from Belgium to Hitler to the American slave owners, white people have killed more people than any other group, you can deny it all you want and try to revise history but I'll continue to call out your LAMBA!

kayswag100:
China is not in the top 10 and their population is more than 5 times ours...

Whats your logic here?

China has at least 50 million people in poverty based on $2 per day. If the new standard of poverty is used then that number goes to 120 million. If China only relied on its oil like 9ja, that number would have been close to 500 million, in fact that in 1988 China had over 500 million people in poverty. Oil is a blessing and a curse!
