This will offend a lot of people.

But the men who are actually winning at life and relationships know exactly what I'm about to say.

Love is not a business strategy.

And marriage, whether you like it or not, is a business.

Two people merging finances. Sharing rent. Splitting decisions about schools, food, healthcare, family obligations, career moves.

That's a partnership. A merger. A joint venture.

And you would NEVER enter a joint venture with someone based purely on how they make you feel when the room is dark and the music is playing.

Yet that's exactly how most Nigerian men choose wives.

"I love her."

Great. Does she have a skill? A source of income? A plan? Can she manage money? Does she understand that ₦200,000 in Abuja in 2026 disappears before the month ends?

"I love her."

Okay. What happens when you lose your job? When the contract ends? When business goes dry for 3 months?

Does she have something she can activate to hold the house down while you recover? Or is the plan just "God will provide"?

"I love her."

I hear you. I loved someone once.

Let me tell you what happened.

I was with a girl for over a year. Beautiful girl. Kind heart. The type of person who would give you her last meal if you asked.

But she had no skill. No trade. No income. No hustle.

Her entire economic identity was ME.

When I was making money, we were fine. The house was good. Groceries were stocked. Fuel was in the generator. Life was beautiful.

Then I had a bad quarter. Two deals fell through. Cash flow dried up for about 6 weeks.

I didn't go broke. I had savings. But things got tight.

And the MOMENT things got tight, I realized something terrifying:

I was carrying two lives on one back.

Not because she was lazy. She wasn't. She was willing to do anything.

But "willing" and "able" are two different words.

She didn't have a skill that someone would pay for. She didn't have a network she could leverage. She didn't have a side hustle she could activate during emergencies.

She had willingness. Which is useless without capability.

Those 6 weeks nearly broke the relationship. Not because of fighting. Because of WEIGHT.

I felt heavy. Every morning. Like I was wearing a suit made of concrete.

Because I knew that if I didn't figure something out fast, two people would suffer, not one.

After that experience, I made a decision.

The next woman I commit to must bring something to the table that isn't love.

Love is the MINIMUM. Not the qualification.

The qualification is: can you hold this house down if I fall?

Here's what that looks like in practice.

I have a friend. Let's call him T.

T married a woman who runs a small skincare business from Instagram. She makes about ₦300,000 to ₦450,000 a month. Not massive. But consistent.

Last year, T's business hit a wall. A major client defaulted. He lost about ₦4 million in receivables over 3 months.

Most men in that situation would spiral. Borrow money. Take on bad deals out of desperation. Fight with their wives about expenses.

T didn't do any of that.

Because his wife's ₦300k-₦450k per month covered the essentials. Rent was already paid. She handled groceries. She handled the children's school runs. She handled utilities.

T had SPACE. Space to think. Space to restructure. Space to recover without destroying himself.

By the fourth month, he'd landed a new contract. Bigger than the one he lost.

He told me later:

"If I'd married the girl I was 'in love with' at 25 instead of the woman I chose at 30, I would have been finished. Because that girl at 25 had nothing but vibes. This woman at 30 had a business."

That's the difference.

A wife with a skill is not an insult to your masculinity. It's insurance for your household.

A wife who can hold things together during your worst quarter is worth more than a wife who looks perfect during your best year.

Now, someone will read this and say:

"So you don't believe in love?"

I believe in love the way I believe in fuel. Fuel is necessary. You can't drive without it.

But fuel without an engine is just liquid sitting in a jerry can.

Love without utility is just feelings sitting in a relationship going nowhere.

I want both. The love AND the engine.

But if you make me choose, I'm choosing the engine.

Because the engine can take me somewhere even when the fuel is low.

Feelings can't do that.

I'm in a better place now financially. I made 1.2 million from a single deal last month. Took about 4 hours of real work spread across a few weeks. The rest was waiting.

But I remember those 6 weeks when cash was tight. And I will NEVER put myself in a position where my household has one engine again.

Two incomes. Two skill sets. Two people who can carry the weight.

That's architecture.

Build a house with two pillars, not one.

But how about marrying someone you love first, then you can help her develop useful, marketable skills in line with her passion and interest.
As long as she's educated and willing to work finding something financially rewarding to do shouldn't be a problem, especially with the husband's support.

Losers finals.
It's time Fifa scrapped the third place game.
A waste of time.

Yeah, I think the 4 semifinalists should play round robin games like in group stage to determine the first, second, third and fourth place. But it must be such that every match must be won by a team.

Gbadugbakun:
Why didn't this yeye coach use Saka against Argentina. He just benched him all through the game.

Calm down. Saka is only getting chances to score because France no too take the match serious. He couldn't have done much against Argentina.

judewrites:
Spain versus Argentina:

Spain is the most disciplined team tactically in this tournament and will not give away unnecessary space to Messi and co like the Three lions did.

Spain to win, unless mercy, sorry I mean Messi shows up.

Football is not that easy to predict.
Sometimes, how your opponent plays will impact how you respond.
If your opponent scores first, your team can be destabilised out of desperation to equalize.

Erikiel:
Someone should help us with link or app to watch this game please.

israelmao:
At the root of this is inability to be accommodating and take responsibilities.In addition,fear acquired from many collapsed marriages.

It's just the fear of losing the things you love, value and enjoy just because you want to settle down with someone, for the rest of your life.
I think we need to look at restructuring marriage in order to make it more enjoyable (to both partners). Perhaps the partners involved should carefully consider what works for them rather than blindly and invariably following marital norms and traditions

The idea of having the option to live separately from your partner is great, but like most things in life it will have its challenges.
For instance, what happens when you start having kids ? How do you raise them ?

The second red square with a border.

It is the only "normal" one there. Every other has a "defect".

Yeah, it doesn't have any unique property that distinguishes it from the rest.
It's ironic that it is its "normalness" that makes it odd

The game of football is funny and silly.
Able-bodied men running about just to shoot a ball inside the net, and try as much as possible to prevent their opponent from doing the same.
Whichever side is able to shoot more balls in the opponent's net is the winner.
And millions of people across the world gather to watch how this plays out. Some even have to travel to go and watch the performance live.
Some people have become legends as a result of being good in playing this game. A whole lot of careers are built around it.
What a funny game , what a funny world.

just thinking out loud 🤔

Yes, it's true there's an Olodo uprising in Nigeria, and it's sad and unfortunate, and it's an evil we need to put an end to before it start causing great harm in the society.
But we must remember that the cause of this raleality is LEADERSHIP FAILURE

📖 1 Kings 8
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁰ And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

¹¹ So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

I am sure you have witnessed this scenario before:

A spiritual leader prays for and lays hands on certain of his/her members and "whoosh!" they fall to the floor like a pack of cards.

The Charismatics call this experience "slaying in the Spirit" or the most commonly known term "falling under the Anointing".

While many skeptics doubt and mock the authenticity of this divine experience, it is 100% biblical.

I have been personally "slain in the Spirit" on different occasions when prayed for by genuine ministers of God and it felt like mild electricity ⚡ flowing through or warm water 💦 drenching my body.

During King Solomon's dedication of the magnificent temple, God was so pleased that He filled the temple to the brim with His presence.

In response to His overflowing presence, the officiating priests couldn't stand on their feet anymore but were compelled to the floor.

Interestingly, we see something similar when John the beloved encountered the glorified Jesus:

📖 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last.
— Revelation 1:17

The Lord's presence was so overwhelming, John subconsciously prostrated at His feet like a dead man.

👉When people are "slain in the Spirit" their spirits are simply responding to God's overflowing presence in awe and reverence.

God so loves us that He often touches us at our point of needs with His presence.

However, unlike in the Old testament, our bodies are now the temples of God's presence...we are carriers and conductors of God's glory. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

God does pour out His presence through His ministers but It's important to note that while people may "fall under the Anointing" during their prayers, this is not meant to glorify any minister of the gospel.

It is a dangerous thing for any pastor, prophet, evangelist, apostle, etc. to share the glory that exclusively belongs to God.

📖 ...and I will not give my glory unto another.
— Isaiah 48:11

At the bolded :
So if you feel a mild electricity or warm water on your body, is the natural response going to be to fall on the ground ?

It's good for NDC to realize that some people are too big to be caged in a party. As a matter of fact, NDC is nothing without Obi and Kwankwaso .
I didn't even know Dickson still exists until Obi joined his party.

This is the kind of topic you should attach a Poll to.

CharlesCNG:
Yes, I can cite other examples, and that is exactly the point.

Nobody is saying human beings do not make mistakes. The issue is that Peter Obi has built a whole political brand around “Go and Verify,” data, figures, examples and global comparisons. Once you make statistics your selling point, accuracy stops being optional.

This is not about one harmless slip. He once claimed that almost 100 out of 150 NBA players were Nigerians. That was fact-checked as false. He claimed Nigeria’s total exports in 2021 were below $30 billion. That was also fact-checked as false, because the figure was closer to $47 billion. He claimed Nigeria had only two million vehicles in 2018. NBS data put the figure at over 11 million. He has also made misleading comparisons on African trade, bank credit to GDP, and even HDI categories involving China, Indonesia, Vietnam and Nigeria.

So please, let us not pretend this is one innocent exaggeration about a faculty.

The problem is the pattern: Obi often uses dramatic examples and loose figures to create moral authority. Then when the facts are checked, his supporters say, “That was not the main point.” But if the details are not important, why use them to sell the point?

A man asking to govern over 200 million people cannot be defended with “everybody exaggerates.” Governance is not motivational speaking. Policy is built on facts, not vibes.

So yes, prison reform is a valid point. Ex-convict rehabilitation is a valid point. But a valid message does not excuse careless embellishment.

When your campaign slogan is “Go and Verify,” you should not be offended when people actually verify.

You have a point, a very valid one at that. But rather than crucifying Obi based on minor, insignificant details like this, you should focus on his overarching passion, mission and vision , the stuff that really matters in transforming a nation.
Obi is a human and will sometimes make mistakes, like everyone of us.
Obi is a politician and will sometimes do things for political reasons, like all politicians.
Where Obi stands out is in his burning passion to see the country become better , which is a rare trait in the crop of politicians leading us today. This is what makes us love Obi, organically.

DomPerignon:
Dickson approached INEC in 2017 to register his party, the NDC.

INEC for reasons best known to them refused to accept Dickson's application on the flimsy excuse that the NDC logo looked like another registered party's logo .

Dickson took them to court and INEC was stalling using every legal loophole and trick to postpone or adjourn the hearings.

The court got fed up with INEC and called for accelerated hearings.

When INEC could not present a registered party in their records bearing similar logo, they then went to manufacture a fake entity with same logo that was not even representing itself as a political party. INEC claimed copyright infringement as to why they can't register NDC.

The judge requested further information of the entity bearing similar logo as per CAC registration but INEC could not provide this in court.

The court then ruled that INEC had no right to stop NDC from being registered citing copyright infringement of a non existing entity and ordered INEC to register NDC immediately.

The reason INEC is affixing "by court order" next to NDC is because the ruling was retroactively applied to NDC to be registered as at 2017 before the electoral ammended Act of 2022 came into law in 2023.

NDC did not meet the conditions for a new party that will seek registration under the 2023 Act but since they were denied by INEC to be registered on flimsy excuse in 2017, the judge ruled that NDC should be registered under pre 2022 Act since they met all the conditions back then.


This is to avoid other parties taking INEC and NDC to court seeking the NDC being deregistered for not meeting the conditions of being registered as a new party under the ammended electoral Act of 2022.

Hope this explains this to you in the simplest form.

Thanks so much. Really appreciate that you took your time to provide this well-detailed explanation.

This is the Nigerian pendulum. I posted this on March 10, 2019.



Nigerians keep bouncing back and forth


1. Government limits the number of political parties to two, or, much later, government prescribes stringent conditions that political associations must adhere to before they can be registered as political parties (you must have an office in every state capital, etc.)


Nigerians: This is undemocratic and unconstitutional. You cannot limit the number of political parties. The constitution guarantees freedom of association. Government is trying to prevent people that it doesn't like from creating political parties.

Gani took INEC to court and won.

───

So INEC registers all the political associations as political parties. We have 90 political parties and 70 presidential candidates. There are 200 more associations waiting to be registered as political parties.


Nigerians: This is a joke! How can we have so many presidential candidates? What is INEC doing? They need to deregister some of these mushroom parties! It is a deliberate ploy by the government to divide votes!

---

Nigerians: We cannot have politicians going to the polling booths with their police and military escorts. They will intimidate voters and election officials. Their security escorts will compromise the security officials on election duty.


Inspector general of police and chief of defence staff: No uniformed security official should follow any politician to the polling unit. We shall withdraw most of the police and military guards of politicians 24 hours before the election, to ensure that politicians cannot use them to affect the conduct of the election.


Nigerians: The government has withdrawn the security guards of governor ***** because they want to attack him during the election. Hold the federal government responsible if anything happens to governor *****. How can you withdraw a whole governor's security. That tells you that they want to rig the election.

---

Nigerians: We need to do away with moneybag politicians. Moneybag politicians destroyed our democracy in the first and second republics. They become godfathers, determine what happens in the party and the people will have no say.


Babangida: Government will provide subventions to political parties to ensure that they are not dependent on any moneybag politicians.


Nigerians: If government provides subventions to the parties, then that means that the parties are no longer independent organisations. It means that they are now arms (slaves) of the government and dependent on government and will do whatever government wants.


Nigerians: Some people go into politics solely to get government subventions and not to serve the people.

INEC: We will limit government subventions to political parties that have won at least one election.


Nigerians: That means you are supporting strong parties against weak parties.

Also Nigerians: You are wasting tax payers' money. These politicians only create political parties in order to steal government subventions.

INEC: We will stop giving subventions.

Nigerians: Parties that control federal/state governments have an advantage because they have access to government funds. Why doesn't the government help smaller parties?

---

Nigerians Why are our elections so militarised. There are armed policemen at every polling unit. This could scare voters away. You don't have armed policemen at polling units in the US and UK.


The electoral act is amended to ban armed security agents from being within a certain distance from polling units.

Heavily armed thugs attack polling units and the policemen at the polling units can't do anything because they are unarmed.

Nigerians: The politicians did this deliberately. They posted unarmed officers to the polling units so that their thugs can easily disrupt the process.

I don't know of any time when Nigerians spoke unanimously as you seem to imply in this post. There are always divided opinions among Nigerians on any matter. And it is always difficult to know what the dominant opinions are. So this your narrative of Nigerians saying things is rather ignorant. Those are just the opinions of some Nigerians . How representative those opinions are of what ALL Nigerians want is highly debatable.

CharlesCNG:
Peter Obi has a serious problem with careless exaggeration.

USC does have a Prison Education Project, where students and faculty engage incarcerated people through academic programmes. But that is not the same thing as claiming USC has a faculty where “everyone” is an ex-convict, with a dean and registrar who spent years in jail.

That is not analysis. That is storytelling without discipline.

A man who wants to be President must be careful with facts, especially when speaking publicly. Leadership is not motivational speaking. It requires accuracy, judgment and intellectual honesty.

This is the recurring problem: Obi hears a powerful anecdote, stretches it into a grand moral lesson, and expects applause before anyone asks for verification. [color=#990000]

Presidents cannot govern by vibes, half-truths and emotional illustrations.

If you cannot describe a university programme accurately, how do you expect people to trust your description of national policy?
Anecdotes are not evidence, and exaggeration is not leadership.

At the red bolded :
Could you cite other instances where he has made similar careless exaggerations ?

By the way, we all (as humans) have the tendency to exaggerate to some degree when we don't have all the facts (and having all the facts is difficult most times). Obi's focus when making the speech was not about describing the faculty, but rather to cite an example of how ex-convicts are being transformed into valuable parts of the society and how we can emulate that in Nigeria too.

The problem is that you guys see Obi from a perfectionist's prism and criticise anything he doesn't do (or say) perfectly.

Most of the information of NDC on INEC's portal has a "By Court Order" appended in front of it, in parentheses. If you understand properly/legally why this is the case and what it implies, kindly explain.

Ironfaceman:
What do you think of this hair style this girl is wearing.

Please attach poll to the topic.

Gbadugbakun:
Even if they're paid to do so, why can't they think about their security and future? And how much are they even being paid that's worth their lives.

It's because they've weaponized poverty. The politicians know very well that poor people cannot think clearly to make the right decision, especially when offered money or food. A poor man's conscience can be easily bought with money.

This is the kind of topic that a Poll should have been attached to, to easily see how many people agree or disagree with the decision to ban under-16 kids from social media.

adams123:
How could he have won when Atiku is the 2nd person or how did you see Atiku's votes?

Because we heard stories about how Obi's votes were rigged in favour of Tinubu in different parts of the country. We heard about how voters were intimidated from voting in certain parts of the country.
So again, perhaps Obi actually won the 2023 presidential election

ttmax09:
Yes I did, I will chat you up on WhatsApp by weekend, busy at the moment.

Hello, I didn't hear from you again.

helinues:
You can never even see such a video that's why I asked for one

If not that people like you are wicked, how can. you be projecting someone who can't answer ordinary basic questions about governance yet want to be the president of the complicated Nigeria.

We should advise someone who doesn't know his right from left?

Till today, I am the questioning, why did Obi meet with Malami, the same man he attacked all through when he was AGF to Buhari ?

What was he thinking when he joined ADC? His new loved party NDC, did he even think it through before being lured by Kwankwanso which I made the comments about immediately Kwankwanso joined ADC

Below thread will not only distract Obi and his supporters, it will exhaust them too even before the election

https://www.nairaland.com/8687695/ndc-affairs-before-election-messy

I have responded to you on your thread.

Ttalk:
You don't seem to understand how politics work in Nigeria and don't seem to have idea about criteria needed for a presidential candidate to have support beyond his ethnic enclave.

Genuinely many of you seeking immediate gratification for Obi are not doing him any favour. Electorate in other region will consider many factors before voting your candidate one of which is consistency which Obi lack. Moving within 3 parties in 3 years is a turn off for the electorate who are sitting on the fence.

Obi utterances on National issue such as negotiating with terrorist are turn off to many who are looking for alternative candidates.

Obi has lost his major backers since 2023 while the Obidient have further deplete his potential supporter.

Rather than focus on 2027 which remains a mirage, Obi should quickly restrategise and focus on building a formidable party with clear manifesto.

He must do away with his tribal Obidients who abuse everyone who is not a supporter of Obi.

This your analysis doesn't make sense if you carefully consider the results of 2023 election.
All Obi need to win is for a lot more people to come out to vote.
And with the current situation of things in the country, I'm certain that over 80% of Nigerians want a change of government.

helinues:
Seriake Dickson a political party leader of Peter Obi. As how?

Obi, Kwankwanso, Dickson's way of doing anything political is entirely different, how would they be able to compromise with different ideologies about things.

Dickson as a NDC party leader is not only on the affairs of presidential candidate but all the aspirants. Whatever it takes to win election in some areas would be inevitable even when it's glaring. Obi don't have such political ideology

Kwankwanso in the last election, I watched the underage voting live while they were on queue to vote. I do not think child voting is part of Obi's political ideology

Please, next time you're creating a topic, try to put your thoughts together more coherently so it can be easy to engage with the topic intellectually.
I can see that what you're saying in essence is that the political ideologies of Dickson, Obi and Kwankwaso are different, and you're questioning why Obi formed an alliance with Kwankwaso and the joined Dickson's party.

What you need to understand is that Obi is also playing politics with the end goal to become Nigerian President. While I see Obi as someone who can make a huge difference in governance, I do not regard him as a saint. And since Obi is a politician, you should expect him to sometimes do what politicians do, part of which is to form alliance with people you might not necessarily like or have the same ideologies with.
The problem is that you're trying to judge Obi's decisions and actions from a moral perspective rather than from a political perspective.
Every intelligent Nigerian knows Kwankwaso carries some weight in the North politically, and if him and Obi strategize well, their combo can defeat Tinubu in a free and fair election.
In summary, Obi forming an alliance with Kwankwaso is a politically strategic decision, but it might be questionable based on what Obi claims to stand for. Also, he had to join NDC when he realised Atiku was going to win ADC ticket and he still wants to be on the ballot by all means. And based on the results of 2023 elections, Obi knows he can win presidential regardless of the party he adopts, through pure organic votes.

helinues:
I asked for the video not just for me but for other members to see. Whether I have seen it or not is irrelevant

Sorry, this thread is not about that video
But you can go ahead and post the video if you like, since you're the one trying to make a point out of what he said in the video. I was only clarifying what he said.

You said we should not discuss what Obi says or not. How then can we access him through his words by telling us what he intends to do differently.

Let me give you a challenge. At least someone aspiring to be a president of Nigeria must have been discussing governance issue with alternative solutions which could make the difference

Post just one video. Na only one I am asking not 2 oo, post one video where Peter Obi was asked about anything related to governance and he answered/responded coherently

Again, the main focus of this thread is not really to debate whether Obi has better solutions or not, but for those who want him to defeat Tinubu to advise him on how to achieve that challenging feat.
I will be glad to debate with you (intellectually though) the alternative solutions Obi is proposing in an appropriate thread. Perhaps I can actually create such thread and notify you about it.

helinues:
You could have posted the video.

I guess he was also misquoted when he said the farmers will suffer because the price of foods are coming down

I assumed you have already seen the video, otherwise why would you make a claim he said something you didn't listen to him say .

We can discuss what Obi said or didn't say some other time. My focus here is to see what advice people have for him on how to defeat Tinubu in 2027 presidential election, considering how challenging it seems to pull that off. Thanks

Ttalk:
Tell Obi to go and form his party. Nurture it and create a clear manifesto that will resonate with the public.
The greatest oxymoron of politics happened when Obi a beer factory builder chooses to contest with a fanatical Sharia imposed beer destroyer person.

That's single act negate the angelic posture Obi has been trying to push to the public.

I honestly don't see how forming his own party will make any significant difference to the votes he will get. Perhaps you can tell me how that would increase his support base.

As for Obi choosing Kwankwaso as his running mate, that is clearly a strategic political move. The reason he chose Kwankwaso is not because their ideals and visions align perfectly, but because Kwankwaso is regarded as a political heavyweight in the North, someone who can give Obi the Northern votes that is absolutely needed to win a presidential election in Nigeria. The decisions you make as a politician don't always have to be based on principle.

As a matter of fact, that's an example of political strategies I expect you guys will advise Obi on. For instance, people from different regions of the country should he form alliance with that can guarantee more votes ? Who should he use as campaign managers ? What strategies should they use for campaign? That's how politics is played all over the world.
