Good question, waiting for the SU sect for answer.

I had an aunty who is deep in this religious thing, before she got married 2 suitors were on her case, and she prayed to God to show her who the real husband would be among this 2. She said God told her to fix a date for the 2 of them to come visit her and first one to show up is her husband. Fast forward 4yrs down the road, she is regretting her choice of husband and as I'm typing this now, they are on the brink of divorcing.

My question is, was it really God who made her to choose the wrong husband?

So this begs the op's question, is there an anointed wife God prepared for anybody? I think not.

yanabasee:
Your President said that America is willing to help Nigeria to battle BH. But yet... Nothing has happened so far... We've been told so many things by this administration. But we don't seems to get any good action on ground.

Boko haram are killing and dropping bombs everywhere. And our NA will report how they've found intels on the bomb dropping and they've arrested persons involve and how they'll soon end the insurgency... But nothing of such is really happening.

This government is using the media to mislead the public. We don't get any good news again. It's either we hear the first news and wait for a counter attack or we'll just live with the propaganda spreading everytime by saharareporters.

God will help us.

We are on the same wavelength bro.

America throws it weight around in the world to create chaos as they did in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Iraq, Libya. Haven't they created enough chaos in Syria already? They want to bomb both sides at once. 2 years ago Dave and his chums asked Parliament to back them in their quest to destroy the sovereign government of Syria and now they illegally join in the bombing of Syria in the company of the bomb happy Yanks. Let Russia do what it does best and as it did in WW2. That is they saved everyone else's ass

What does the bible said about the peacemaker? The bible said " blessed are the peacemaker for they shall be called children of God.

Jonathan May your days be long on earth.

Jonathan my hero, Jonathan my role model

The Russians are dealing with your boss in Syria, when they are done, we will ask them for help since the hypocritical Americans are refusing to help, daddy Putin wouldn't hesitate for sure.

Boko haram your time are numbered.

Another red line for POTUS nothing will happen. You have to admire Putin. At least he has balls.



Putin is going to be pointing his funny stick at ANYONE pointing theirs at Assad...if the U.S. Doesn't understand that yet then we are going to have a problem, however luckily with Obama it will only boil down to a stirring speech with Kennedy overtones and lots of thoughtful press pictures of him thinking and staring out of the window of the WH.

So this bastards were responsible for the failed murder attempt on young shall grow motors.

Where is the pic?

Ethiopia is good if you are going into big time investments, e.g ( flower farming), ( cement factory), (hinds and skin export) ( coffee export) ( livestock), but if you are looking for a job I wouldn't advise you go there, unless off course you are looking for a teaching job. But then again you can apply online in organization like the African Union ( AU ), economic commission for Africa ( ECA) The only prospect of you getting a job in Ethiopia is if you choose to teach, then you might get a teaching job in a private school.

Another country you might get a job right now is in The Ivory Coast the African development bank is currently recruiting, make inquiry online on how you can apply, and it all depends on your line of study and experience.

Thank me later, wish you the best.

N.b I have lived in both countries, so I'm talking out of experience, not just mere say.

Why is the federal government afraid of Biafra? Why can't they just allow a simple referendum of YES or NO as was the case in Scotland not too long ago.

Is it by force to stay together?

In Europe and Asia, in some current and several past cultures, having affairs was widely accepted and even considered good for a marriage. Some marriages were just marriages of convenience, so affairs were expected; others were marriages of love, but affairs were no threat to that being merely temporary sexual gratification. Both partners understood this. Think about it: two people marry in their twenties or thirties and could potentially live into their nineties. Is it reasonable to expect that two people can be sexually satisfied with just each other over that many decades, even two people who love each other deeply? No need to go all religious right on me, just putting it out there.

Barcanista you are truly a gem

Attention seeking mofo!!!

Get lost!!!! What a morôn.

I think the answer is even simpler. Overtime the newness fades away and people stop working at their relationships. They think things should be like they were in the beginning. Cracks develope in the relationship and grow as resentment grows. Then they meet someone else and think the grass is greener on the other side. They give into their selfish delusions and cheat. Relationships take work. Too many people today are entitled and lazy.

Nigeria's New President May Be Its Old Dictator

When Nigerians vote this weekend for their next president, they face a choice between the devil they know and the devil their grandparents knew.

The current leader, Goodluck Jonathan, is unpopular. His army, until recently, failed to stop Boko Haram's campaign of mass murder and kidnapping. A former governor of Nigeria's central bank has documented how $20 billion in revenues for the state's oil company has gone missing. When it looked like he might lose the election last month, Jonathan postponed the elections under the pretense that Boko Haram threatened the voters.

But as bad as Jonathan is, his opponent is worse. Meet General Muhammadu Buhari. In 1983, he began a 20-month term as Nigeria's dictator. Some highlights of his rule included a "campaign against indiscipline," in which police officers were ordered to whip and beat with batons people who didn't line up properly when waiting for the bus. Disloyal civil servants were sent to work camps. Buhari made it illegal to publish news stories that subjected government figures to ridicule or contempt. His purges of political critics included the jailing of the Nigerian pop star Fela Kuti.

Nigerian playwright Wole Soyinka, the first African to win a Nobel prize for literature, called Buhari's time in office a "reign of terror." In his memoir, Soyinka noted that Buhari's victims were more likely to be progressive reformers than officials from the corrupt government of President Shehu Shagari he had toppled.

"Buhari's regime vaunted itself as the most thorough, ruthless and disciplined that Nigeria would ever experience, yet, one after the other, the most criminally liable of Shagari's officers -- both within party and government -- left the country, came in and out as they pleased, while Buhari's tribunal sentenced opposition figures to spells of between a hundred and three hundred years in prison for every dubious kind of crime," Soyinka wrote.

Unlike many Nigerian politicians, Buhari doesn't wear a fancy watch and doesn't live in a lavish gated home, which has allowed him to present himself as the kind of reformer he used to imprison. Last month he told Chatham House that democracy must deliver more than a choice at the ballot box, and should extend to guaranteeing the rule of law, good governance and shared prosperity.

"I laugh when people associate him with anti-corruption," J. Peter Pham, the director of the Atlantic Council's Africa Center, told me. "I think he benefits enormously from two things. Until very recently the military's campaign against Boko Haram was incompetent and the median age in Nigeria today is 19. Most Nigerians have no memory of him as a ruler." Pham said that when Buhari was the federal commissioner for petroleum and natural resources in 1978, $2.8 billion went missing from the state's oil revenues.

In addition to its vows to stem corruption, Buhari's party, the All Progressives Congress, has promised to wage the military campaign against Boko Haram more efficiently. (Although Jonathan's government seemed to recently make some headway against Boko Haram by allowing South African military contractors, reports surfaced this week that the group has committed a new round of kidnappings in the Muslim-majority north of the country.)

Samuel Kaninda, the West Africa coordinator for Transparency International, declined to specifically criticize Buhari on the eve of the election. But he did say that neither Buhari or Jonathan "passed the integrity test," in his view. "We at this stage would trust the people of Nigeria to make their choice who would lead them," he said. "The Nigerian people are fully aware of the track record of Buhari."

But is that really the case? Joe Trippi, a U.S. political consultant who until December was advising the Jonathan campaign, told me he was stunned that Buhari's background has not been a major issue in the election.

"With the amount of focus and attention that the press has put on Goodluck Jonathan, it's been astonishing to me to see almost the complete lack of questioning of Buhari's past, particularly his actions as a military dictator," Trippi told me. "Most young people in the country were not alive when he was dictator and are not aware of some of the horrors he practiced. There has been almost no attention in the press on this issue at all."

It remains to be seen whether Buhari's past will surface in the final hours before the vote. If it doesn't, Nigerians may have to live with the devil most of them have forgotten.

If I were him, I would start sharpening my blades into shanks, you know, for self-defense and stuff.

He got away with murder simple and short.

We must never forget to remember:
1. Sharia should be introduced in all the states of Nigeria
2. Jonathan is killing fulanis/northerners in the name of Boko haram
3. N2.8B oil wind fall missing under his watch.
4. 28 missing suitcases...(N20b) missing under his watch.

And many more, yet some say he is a 'saint".
Pathetic!!!

You are mad Op.

nairalandist:
He hasn't hurt anybody, so no biggie. It's just a domain name and there are several other options if no one is willing to buy ebola.com.

Strategic dude!

I agree this was very clever of him, but it also meant he had to hope there will be a global pandemic...which is kind of evil.

Name a disease, and there’s a chance Schultz owns it. He has birdflu.com. He has H1N1.com. He has one for the deadly mosquito-borne disease, Chikungunya, and another for Marburg. And finally, there’s the jewel of his trove. Ebola.com, which Schultz bought in 2008 for $13,500.

The guy is really "merchant of disease".

Pedophiles on the prowl in that country.

If true, the guy that got her pregnant should be charged to court ASAP.

God willing he will be back hale and hearty.

Five years to kill a man, if you hate someone you know what to do next for those of you folks who live in Britain, the tariff is 5years chaps, cheap and quick 2.5years for disguised murder, it is not even worth paying a hit man.


Well That Just about Sums up the British Justice System.... Poor Great Britain.

It is important to look at what Russia is doing. They are testing the grounds to see what the US will do in case they invade Ukraine, which they plan to do. There is a sinister plan behind all these actions and Russian President Putin knows it. As he is pushed against the wall with increasing political and economic sanctions, the incentive to act irrationally is growing and could lead to the powder keg that ignites WWIII. The Middle East is already in flames and the Russians support every side that is against Israel and the US. It does not seem impossible that they would decide to strike just when the US is weakest and has a weak commander in chief who might just be reluctant to act in defense of Israel. By creating a reason to invade, Putin and his forces will seek some sort of excuse and we may just have two conflicts, one against Israel and one against Ukraine. This is possible because Putin knows that Obama lacks the leadership and desire to make tough choices. There never has been such a great opportunity for a rogue government to act as during this administration.
