So you'd get married and possibly jeopardise your future, when you aren't financially ready?

Anyways, this is a nonsense thread, because the OP knows what to do.

LaBozz:
I have been dating this girl for almost a year now and things have been going smooth with us until recently. I just don't know were the desperation for marriage came from. Now we barely have a normal conversation without the marriage issue coming up.

Though I don't have a steady job per say, I am a business man and am able to make myself a good some of money every week which isn't so bad. She is also working and makes around 60k every month. I have been telling her to relax a little bit so we can plan properly and get ourselves ready for the life time journey together, but she won't listen.

Her own is that in her place once a girl has graduated from school everyone is expecting her to get married. She will even bring up issues of the young girls getting married in her church and she is the only single were she works even though she is actually the youngest in her office.

She is just 24 years of age and almost 25 so she keeps saying she set a deadline for herself to get married before 25. The worse part is that sometimes she tries to threaten me that so many guys are asking for her hand in marriage but she doesn't want them, its me she wants.

This whole desperation is getting on my nerve and I really don't want to rush into marriage because her people want her to get married. So am thinking of calling the relationship off so that she can go and marry one of those men she said is asking her hand in marriage and I will wish her all the best.

Just so you know, am not trying to be tribalistic here, she is Yoruba and said that's how things are done in their culture so I don't know if that's true or she is just making all that up.

I'm sure you can relate with reality now that the drug has cleared from you eyes.

Obi1kenobi:
Yes, you can. A party is no one's personal property. He didn't denigrate his party, but the representatives of his party who he believed were failing in the party's agenda. That is his moral and constitutional right and has nothing to do with treachery. The very problem with Nigerian politics is such mindless devotion with no principles. You can't defend incompetence or corruption just because incompetent or corrupt people are your party members. That would make you complicit in their inept governance.

Kwara PDP Governorship Primaries - The Facts

Following the discussions with participants and sources on the ground in Kwara State, and due to the speculation that is being generated on certain social media channels, it is important to highlight the following about the Kwara PDP gubernatorial election that held today.

First, as stated at various fora, and as expressed to the gubernatorial aspirants at a meeting held in the early hours of September 25th, 2018, the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, had no preferred candidate for the party primaries that held today.

Dr. Saraki believes that competence, popularity and acceptability, must be the deciding factors in the selection of the party’s gubernatorial candidate, as such, due to the fact that many of the aspirants in question meet all three criteria, Dr. Saraki has stated that a level-playing field must be provided for all the aspirants to vie for the gubernatorial ticket of the PDP in Kwara.

Going back to today’s incident, accreditation had already taken place, and delegates from two Local Government Areas had already voted. The third Local Government had started to vote, when a few people from that LGA raised certain observations about the process.

The organisers of the primaries then suggested that the LGA in question should either conclude voting while the observations were addressed, or allow another LGA to vote — pending the resolution of the observations that were raised.

It was at this point that hired thugs then forced their way into the venue of the primaries to disrupt the process.

It is important to note that despite his influence in the politics of the state, Dr. Saraki has always worked to ensure that the democratic process is followed to the letter. Additionally, as many of his political associates are aspiring to become the next Governor of the State, he has maintained that he will allow the people to decide and worked to ensure that the party primaries in the state remain credible.

That was why he stayed back in Abuja while the primariy election in Ilorin was on-going. He just left Abuja for Ilorin at 9.10pm following the news of the disruption.

Former Vice - President Atiku Abubakar tells SUNDAY ABORISADE his strategies to win the 2019 presidential poll if he emerges the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party

What do you think qualifies you to be Nigeria ’s President?

Atiku Abubakar has experience in both the public and private sector . As Vice President, my support for democracy is without match . My headship of the economic management team propelled the era of privatisation which stimulated the economy to grow at 7seven per cent annually.
In the private sector , I have a track record of job creation and I had created more jobs than any other aspirant . I have the ability to see opportunities and turn them to wealth creating opportunities .
I have the ability to pool the best minds together to move the country forward and has proven that both in the public sector and my private businesses .
I am a detribalised leader who sees Nigeria as his constituency .
Atiku has a great understanding of governance ; he is a person with vision, passion , policies and political will to get things done.

How do you hope to defeat others in the primaries ?

Atiku Abubakar is the one candidate with experience across the regions , states and local governments of Nigeria ; he is not the candidate of one area or denomination. He has support across Nigeria – from youth, farmers and business people . The delegates of PDP, from across Nigeria will recognise Atiku as the one candidate who can defeat the APC and bring jobs and opportunities , unity , security and development to all of Nigerians.

Do you have faith in the PDP’s ability to conduct a free and fair primary?

Yes , I have faith ; PDP is one . We should all remember that it was a PDP government that , in 2015 , held the freest and fairest elections in Nigeria ’ s history . The PDP also understands that if it is to win in 2019 , the elections must be free and fair . So , this primary will be free and fair .

What should Nigeria expect in the election if you win the primary ?

In 2015 , Nigerians voted for change and in the last three years, they have grown increasingly distressed about the change they received – job losses, businesses closed , farmers impoverished , our people being divided more than ever before and rising insecurity . Atiku Abubakar will run a campaign across all of Nigeria that begins addressing these issues . His campaign will be like his government talking and working with the states and people of Nigeria to restructure and create jobs , wealth for farmers , and business opportunities for youths and lifting Nigerians out of poverty . The campaign will be the start of getting Nigeria working again .

QuotaSystem:
Wike's insistence on Tambuwal for the PDP ticket will finally bury PDP. Mark these words.

If Wike/Secondus impose Tambuwal in their desperation to rule after him, Atiku/Makarfi/Kwankwaso will do everything to tear the party apart from within in protest, and may secretly work for Buhari (like Sule Lamido & Bala Moh'd did when GEJ was imposed in 2015). Asides that, Tambuwal is relatively unknown in the south and stands no chance in the SW against an impending Osibanjo presidency in a few years.

This of course is aside feelers which indicate that Wike wants to prop up a weak candidate in Tambs so as to guarantee an easy victory for PMB in 2019, to allow power move south in 2023 when Wike will stand a strong chance of emerging President.

In all these, the only common denominator is Wike's ambition.

WisdomFlakes:
Wike and the PDP presidential aspirants should get serious and stop allowing petty sturves to undermine their chances in 2019 because the way they are currently behaving is capable of demoralizing the party supporters nationwide. That is just the truth.

FarahAideed:
Shameless

ndukaejime1994:
This is exactly the problem about Nigerians!!! It's so pathetic that alot of us that claim we are wise are zombies. Our case in Nigeria is like listing English alphabet and I say A, another person will say Alpha; alpha is the first letter in Greek alphabet but not in English alphabet... We keep dancing around the subject. It is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that PMB has done nothing but taken Nigeria backward. There is no ground where any patriotic Nigerian can say Buhari has tried; is fight against corruption is just like robbing from Peter's family and giving it to Paul's family. Who is fooling who? And about the Saraki's Issue you are bringing up, Saraki may not be the solution to Nigerians problem but definitely anyone from another party other than the demonic APC will do better than Buhari.. Stop being naive and brainwashed. The era of brainwashing is over open your eyes as long as you are alive!!! A word is enough for the wise

jumpandpas:
APC and propaganda. They skipped these polling unit because of the foreign observers and unleashed Miyetti Allah kind of wickedness in other polling units where there are no foreign observers.


Nigerians will see the end of APC just as they did to PDP.

obi4eze:
APC is really a curse to this country. We are battling with Buhari, poverty, and corruption, insecurity, and now this one.
I just hope the earthquake starts from the residences of the wicked politicians.

R2bees:
All these things happening in APC era. diaris god oo

ndukaejime1994:
This is a rape to our young democracy.... I sob for Nigeria.. It's so glaring that APC can and will do anything to win elections and retain power in 2019. I don't see any reason to vote in 2019. I will advice young Nigerians to fight their way out of this shit hole country... Things will always turn out worse as time unfolds. So pathetic

BabaCommander:
Ameachi must love this job. He thinks it would make Buhari support his (Ameachi) presidential ambition.
Sad that he could not see that God has already removed Buhari.

MarketingAce:
Time will tell. OBJ has never failed before. Those that helped enthroned Buhari definitely knows how to dethrone him. Buhari is a goner already.
