FamilyRe: Lesson And Experience With My Wife And His Elder Brother, Kindly Advice by alfa0: 8:47pm On Mar 14, 2020
Richy4:
OP some one up there called your wife an idiot and u couldn't say anything. What is wrong with you? Can't u caution him or her and explain that the fact that you needed some advice does not mean your wife would be insulted
Well-done,Sir.

I am surprised too.
Well, if you ask me I have not seen anything wrong the wife did.
Yeah, he is paying attention to his brother..which good sister wouldn't do same.

The brother even accepted to sleep in the office for him to reduce expenses...I tell you some sister will not agree to that.

Generally speaking,I have not seen anything this young man and his sister did or have done to warrant this post... unless there is something the OP is not telling us.

FamilyRe: I Destroyed My Sister Relationship With Her Fiancé And She Lost Her Job by alfa0: 12:42pm On Jan 09, 2020
I have tried to read in between lines in all this young girl @ ifyjos is saying...

I don't think she is wicked..it's just youthful exuberance.

All she needs at this point is sincere guidance.

Please, people should stop insulting her.if you can mentor her and the supposed boy friend , please do...that is if you find out that the intentions of this boy is real..

But if he has been there for her since child birth,I believe they know what they want ,but they are going about it the wrong way and needs guidance at this stage..

I see this causing alot of family problem in future if it's not put under control.
PoliticsRe: Fowler's Fouls: What Tunde Fowler Did Wrong At FIRS By Faye & Fraser by alfa0: 10:31pm On Dec 21, 2019
Xisnin:
It is wrong to compare Fowler with Jimoh.
NICON's problem wasn't personality issue of the boss.
If all Jimoh did was to made directors irrelevant while delivering results.
NICON will still be here today.

I have dealt with some ministeries.
When a government worker complains of not getting work or not recognized, it is never out
of patriotism or passion. Their real complaint is about being locked out of "entitled benefits"
such as job slots or awarding contracts.

Personal issues are not the right metric to judge a public official by.
Only 2 questions matter.
Was their performance below expectations?
Did they engage in illegal activity while at the helms?

If they pass those 2 questions, then they have succeeded regardless of what subordinates think.
Let's look at paragraph 1and 2 of your reply..

I happened to work under Jimoh Ibrahim indirectly,
When Jimoh Ibrahim assumed responsibility of NICON ,he came with his friends, they took over management of NICON from Well experienced directors who know the secrets of insurance.

They claimed they wanted to sanitise the system but I was expecting him to make someone a scape goat so that others who indulge in corrupt practices will change or take a bow.

He only diverted NICON funds for personal interest.at the end of the day,he was owing staff salaries and pension..he was owing claims..
He owned so many other things till date.

When you visit NICON now,it's a shadow of its self.

Now, to Fowler,I don't know him personally, but I heard and this article also stated that he came with his men in the name of fighting corruption,
But what did they do, they turned FIRS into a personal or family firm neglecting people who know the in and out of this establishment for years without indicting them of any corrupt practices.

Like I said, am not sure the practice of neglecting your management team will make any boss succeed..rather show clear signs .....make any person found wanting a scape goat,they rest of the team will adjust to your style immediately..
And you achieve your aim with their support...

That is the basics of my comparison and the point am trying to make.
PoliticsRe: Fowler's Fouls: What Tunde Fowler Did Wrong At FIRS By Faye & Fraser by alfa0: 5:20pm On Dec 21, 2019
Xisnin:
What exactly did the insider tell you?
That money was missing, inflated budget or what?

I don't get carried away by emotional tantrums if a writer cannot put a number to their claim
then they are a paid liar.

If you believe that Fowler is bad for FIRS, please bring out the figure to support your claim.

Don't come back with stubbornness or womanizing rumors, those are irrelevant, only the purse matters.
�.. Honestly, I don't have any personal problems with Fowler, but from what I learnt from friends who happens to be in management team of firs,...he rubbished his management team..

I heard he practically demoted all of them to just director for mouth..

If that is a good way of treating your management team ,I still don't know ,I will leave that for Management experts.

Like I said ,I don't have any business with firs boss..

I only related what I was told two years ago with this article then I compared it with what Jimoh Ibrahim did with NICON Management team.
Of course the rest is history.

emkz:
But why didn't they write this before now? It is true that this tax chief was wasting government money sponsoring concerts and comedy events; even one of the comedians always appreciated Fowler on Instagram.

Fowler is a competent guy considering the job he did in Lagos State, but it seems these guys get carried away by success and start misbehaving.

Yet, I wonder what the auditor-general's job is. All government agencies must be audited and the audit report made public. The Presidency and that National Assembly should be audited as well. When we find out the unaccountable figures from NNPC, NPA, FIRS, Customs, JAMB, Universities and even Pilgrims Welfare Board, we'd know that Fowler is a small fly compared to the criminals in these agencies.
Yeah,
The truth is that I heard about all this earlier from a close person who happens to be a director there.
But then I never believed him because I was thinking is normal bad Belle...
For this article to come and say exactly what this insider told me years ago means that everything you read above is true.

When I look at his administration ,I see the administration of Jimoh Ibrahim of NICON insurance..and of course if you know that story,you will know where FIRS was heading to if Fowler has continued.

Seller is not rude anything...
Please don't pass vote of NO confidence on another man's business when he has not offended you personally.

So you want him to keep quiet when you see alot of un civil people here spoiling his business just because he is not their friend or partner.

Thanks.
If you desire to ship in your item with peace of mind,then use impex worldwide...
Thier fees might seems a bit high but it's worth the stress ..No super story.
I have been using them since since 2012 till last month ...they have offices at Oshodi,Lekki .

You can still use their USA address for purchase, though I have not done that so I don't know how that works.
I have my own address..I just use them for shipping only.

That is why you see different options everywhere.
We don't have a common voice yet.
You will be amazed to see somebody that is suffering but at same time supporting these politicians ,then you begin to wonder....Maybe his suffering is not yet on the next level.

Until everyone of us is able to identify and believe that all the politician are the source of our problem, I tell you,this type of exercise is effort in futility.

yes his family did the Introduction on his behalf but he was around for our wedding ..we had both traditional and church wedding ..thanks
Well,I can see that his family knows everything their son is doing now.
1.it's possible he has another family outside this country.

2. It's also possible is doesn't have any other family except you and his kids .

3.it could be he has some Shaddy deals , business, character he doesn't want you to know.

4.it could be he is not in good financial state as he and his family have made you and your family think.there by raising hopes of better tomorrow

All these questions,needs answers .
Your family made mistake in this marriage,they didn't investigate properly before you married this man.

I have seen this type of marriage trying to happen in my presence.the family of the groom was covering so many issues just to be happy thier son is married.but the family of the bride was able to detect all these on time and the marriage was cancelled.
Today,the lady is happily married.

Well,this case needs patients to find out the whole truth.you are on it already.
I will advice you have patience,keep ur self busy,start something doing.you can get a job.

Please don't listen to any advice on fast decision.
Even if you are going ur separate ways,let it not be a decision taken out of pressure from advisers.

I will keep it touch through this forum only if I figure out what might seems to be a reasonable solution.

As for now,this case requires attention of the elders from your home town and his hometown.
That is if the two immediate families cannot solve the problem.

Finally, don't travel to any Canada because you want to do your own back.you can travel later but not now.any wrong decision you take now might make you loose this case completely.

Tellemall:
What does the type of marriage have to do with anything? You people can invent reasons for deadbeat behaviors in men.

Some people aren't even married, just living together, and they do not do what this man has done. Just admit that the man has issues. He lies, beats her, cheats on her, abandons the children; and all you can come up with is if she was married in a church or not?
I don't come here to dish out blames neither am I here for men vs woman behaviours in marriage/relationship.
These are not my business.

I am only here to see how i can render a little help if I have any.
To resolve this problem and give hope to the woman in question if it's possible.

I am not interested in relationship/marriage games.

Mrsabuh1:
thank you for your response , I met him while at school while he was graduating and I was entering the university, he helped out with my registration process and I just grew fond of him, he didnt ask me out at that time untill we met again on fb when I was in 300l , I discovered he was out of the country but he told me he was in Canada, we did lots of video calls through Skype and yahoo messenger and that was how the relationship started ,when I was preparing for my final year exam he visited the country and proposed ,after my exam and project defence his people came for my introduction on his behalf , I was meant to visit him after the introduction and also get some things for the wedding as plans are setting in place ,he called to informed me that his company had transferred him from Canada to their branch in Dubai ,he works in a shipping company even till date my mom still attach Canada to his name as a saved contact, when I went to UAE I went through his passport and didnt see any Canadian stamp and it was later I discovered that he had never been to Canada before but I forgave him for lying to me ... the first child was conceived during my nysc ,I already made arrangement for that but he said I need to go home and have the baby since its my first and also by the time in giving birth it ll b same period when I will ve to attend my passing out parade ,
second child was conceived when my first was 7months old and that period he lost his job so he was taking out the frustration on me , I was always visiting the hospital due to one complication or the other I suffered after he hit me for allowing a church member to visit me , he had made it plain that he doesnt accommodate friends ,when I reported to my parents my father told him to come home so I can b taken care off .
third pregnancy was during buhari regime when ban was imposed on some imported goods ,he was already into cargo and logisitics so business that year was bad I saw it and understood with him.after the third child he went and canceled our visa without informing me
the major problem was the issue of job ,I got one in abj and he said I'm not going to take his kids anywhere,my parents weren't having it and during the meetings with my parents he asked me to stay behind and not follow him back home because my father I shld take the job and leave the marriage ,after a while I gave up the job because I was missing my children ,I wasn't allow to take them and even my parents said I shldnt bring his children to their house let him be responsible for them ..it was after we settled that he opened a tailoring shop for me and then the issue of UK came in ..
Hmmmmm.
I will advice you not to run into fast conclusion yet.i will I am on the road now.
I will digest your reply and we see the way forward.
Quick questions.
1. After the introduction, was any formal wedding conducted.be it traditional or church wedding.

2.you mean his people came for the introduction in his absence and younand your people accepted.

Honestly,I can see the hand writing on the wall, like I said ,once am free ,we will address it and know the way forward.
FamilyRe: I Think My Husband Scammed Me by alfa0: 6:18am On Nov 22, 2019
@Mrsabuh1

There are so many mystery around your marriage that one needs to unravel before advising you.

1. For the period you lived with him on UAE,what was the relationship like.
2. What job does he do.
3.You said you have successfully travelled down to Nigeria to give birth on two occasions before this third one.please tell us what happened during this third trip.
4.You said you guys almost went the divorce way.Why...What happened.....How was this issue settled ,if it was actually settled.

Note that some men are very rigid when they take decisions.i strongly believe something must have transpired.
But whatever that have happened,I still feel he should have come out clean and clearly on the situation instead of running away from his shadows. Of course ,he can never run away from. His Shadow
FamilyRe: Help! My Husband Thinks I Spend Too Much by alfa0: 6:28pm On Nov 21, 2019
wired4comfort:
I need a neutral person's opinion on this.
I spend between 30-35k every other month on food and other consumables. my husband thinks it's too much because it's just the two of us.
Do you think it's too much?
pls offer tips on how to spend less.
thanks
I can relate to your story.
But I will like to know if there is any other family expenses your husband does within that one month.
Take for instance,I give my wife a certain amount for foodstuffs only for 1 month.
I take care of everything else.
We are four in the family including the kids.
At a point she complained that the money wasn't enough any longer.
I reasoned with her that she try and continue managing pending when our financial status improves.
One day, i called her and we began to calculate our total expenses in a month except for feeding.
She marveled at the kind of money we spent in just one month.
We also looked at what is coming in every month.
After that calculation ,we both cautioned ourselves on the need to watch our expenses least we run into big financial problems.
NOTE: my wife is the best manager of fund I have ever seen. Intact any money I don't want to spend ,I will just deposit it into her account,and that one is saved.

You know sometimes,we need to do this checks and balances especially in a family,it will help both husband and wife know what the future holds for them financially.

Don't spend money because others are spending.
Spend because you can afford it.

Seems cyber peace has been terminated.
Smartchoiice seems to be away.
Oya na. Let the games begin. cheesy
OP, if you seek better protection (what against, I do not know) and you seem to think 5w40 will offer you that, then by all the pistons and rings in your car, do so.
At least I am sure you will lose a few mpg, the other consequence(s) if any is what I am not sure of.
Been to other car forums where people have run 5w40 against the recommended 5w30 or 5w20 and their engines didn't grenade after years of use.
However, those people may not report if and when their engines quit. So it's up to you.
Thank you.

My engine is in top shape. By my judgement.
It's my wish to switch to 5w 40 because i want my engine to run smoother, more quite and more lubricanted and am very sure it won't degrade the performance of my engine as well.

What am not too sure is the product to use.
Though I am leaning towards Total hence my question here.
1 or 2 persons here have given their reviews on Total which is not bad nor far from what others said outside this forum.

I follow my services religiously,so am very sure my engine will still be in top shape of years.

The one with higher wattz should give you better sound.
But you have to check the impedence level .it is measured in ohms.
Ohms rating of sound system also play a major role in sound quality.

The lower the ohms,the better the sound.

If I wanted performance I would have imported Motul or any one of the other top shelf oils.

Total protected my 4Runner fantastically for over 5 years. And she’s no garage queen. We do lots of off roading and road trips (just did same day Ibadan - Ore - Ibadan today). With AC permanently on, 5 people and average of 80mph (up yours CHP grin angry )

Again, unless one is driving a hand built micro spec engine like AMG, Ferrari, etc then guys with Accord/Camry that are fretting over oil brands in Nigeria or importing Mobil1 are just stroking egos.

With the extreme conditions we operate in, your oil shouldn’t stay in your crankcase too long.

My submission.

Good luck on your final choice.
Hmmmm. Interesting.
