Politics / Re: Pressure On Peter Obi To Run As Vice To Atiku In 2027 - NationalDaily by alizma: 8:22am On Jan 06
ImperialYoruba:
Why cant Atiku run as vice to Obi grin
I am not Atiku's fan and won't be but let be practical here, what reason do you have to justify that it is politically reasonable for Atiku to deputize Obi? Telling him to deputize Obi is like telling the whole world that Atiku is known to you as a bad and unproductive person but for Obi's and his fans' sinister interest, they want to attached him to the ticket.
Atiku has been in politics long before Obi, he was once the number 2 citizen of this country, Obi personally called Atiku his boss(politically), so how do you think they can have a successful joint ticket where Atiku is the deputy, who is to teach who?
Is either Obi deputize Atiku or Atiku let go of the presidency and play the godfather role or big boss role for Obi but telling him to deputize Obi is a disastrous journey for the nation because the two will not enjoy healthy relationship in Aso rock

You will be surprised to know that it's the Nigerian who are superior who made those rules.... I know some foreigners are cruel, especially the Indians, Chinese, Pakistani and Lebanese, but in most cases, the Nigerians who are opportunned to work closely with them are the ones who brings most of the policies that doesn't favour their fellow countrymen...
These people come to Nigeria with cruel mindset. They see Nigerians as tools.

Nigerians and the criticism of their country. A woman said she is a landlady and planning to expand her coast in 2024 and many of you are saying Nigeria happened to her, she unfortunately find herself in Nigeria etc. did she tell you that she is hungry or suffering? Most of these American returnees can be very stingy, even onto themselves. I know of one that can almost by an entire wealthy community of his but whenever he returns home, his appearance is almost worst than that of his mates that are farmers in Nigeria yet he has all the money. In fact his friends and some Nigerians around his area in US have a particular name for him which I don't want to mention here. That woman is not suffering

Computers / Re: Help!! 230v (5000w Stabilizer) Cannot Power LG 1.5hp Air Conditioner by alizma: 12:02am On Jan 03
Hullabaloon:


How do you measure the average current of your area?
If you have a stabilizer, it will indicate the current, fluctuating between the highest and lowest voltage. So the average is the highest volt + the lowest, divided by 2
eg if the highest volt is 165 and the lowest is 135 then the average is 165+135=300÷2 which is average of 150 voltage.
Family / Re: I Want To Cancel The Marriage Plans. Is It Worth It? by alizma: 5:08pm On Dec 30, 2023
FanRong:
I'm sorry, this post is going to be a long one. But you're saving a soul if you read through and advice candidly.


My story
We've dated for 6months and we've lived together for the 6months.

On our 3rd month, I found her interesting and told her I'll like to marry her. She accepted but no engagement ring or anything to show. We just accepted by word of mouth.

Since then, I've worked towards it. I've told her to call her mum and eldest brother(dad is late) to relate my idea and understand their feeling since it won't be that easy to marry. (same state, but my people and her people are highly selective in marriage)

After several persuasion, and threat that I'll throw her out if she doesn't relate the circumstances to her family, she called the mum. And again I had to force her to call the eldest brother. She claimed she did. And that's enough. I'm ok.

Meanwhile, there's this guy(her ex) she claims helped her when she came to Lagos. It was when I started accommodating her that I found out in her chats that she was living with this guy, but lied to me she was living with her Aunt and the aunt's husband was harassing her sexually and she wants to leave. She later told me the guy, though provides for him but has never had sex with her, even when she was living in his house. These stories doesn't move me since everyone, who is not a virgin has an ex. So I forgave all that and we moved on.

She wasn't everything I need in a women, but I told myself I could train her the way I want. We continued adjusting to each others likes and dislikes.

I feed her this 6 months, provide comfortable shelter, buy her things she needs,(not want). Told her I'll do more and open a shop for her, if we get married, but she still confronts me asking why should I wait till after marriage? . I didn't allow the words move me cos Its my decision and my money and also, I'm used to gold diggers.

A good number of times, I see her as being selfish. If things doesn't benefit her, she'll not get bothered even if I'm involved.

Just this week, It became obvious to me that she argues everything I request her to do. From 24th Dec, we've been on holiday, we're always at home.
1. I'll wake her up at 9 and ask her to prepare breakfast for the family, she'll prefer to roll on the bed than do it. I'll finally have to do it myself so I can get things done and get busy.

2. I detest girls on eye lashes. I've repeatedly told her how I dislike it, but when she went to fix herself for the Christmas, she fixed the eyelashes, Contrary to my demand.

3. I got her some sneakers to upgrade her fashion style and look smarter, instead of the usual slippers and sandals she wears.
When we prepared to go to the beach few days ago, I requested her to put on the sneakers to look more fashionable, but she refused buttressing that she must wear what she wants, sandals.

4. Few days ago, we had a heated argument and she said that if I'm not happy that she's living with me, that she can go, afterall, she has somewhere to stay. I asked her to go and she immediately called that her ex bf to come to my house. I immediately swung into action, took all her belongings out, before the ex will arrive, at the same time, retrieving the items I gifted her.
While she was struggling to have her gifted items back, our neighbours heard the struggle and had to come and settle for us. She apologized and I forgave her. we were back into the house.

5. Just yesterday , we left home together, and I locked the door and I took the keys with me. We walked down the street together to the Busstop, I have almost no friend and seldomly greet. But there's this my ex girlfriend by the roadside, she saw me and yelled my name, I went to greet her and my Fiancée picked offence, left me without waiting for me. After that I chased her and told her it's nothing because I've told her everything about this ex.
Before we could get to the Busstop, she demanded for the house keys and I gave her since she might come back earlier than me.
We couldn't say bye. The anger was clear on her face and we parted ways.

After about 15mins, I got to where I wanted to make payment for the items I picked only to notice I am not with my transaction phone. I was confused where could I have kept it, the seller insisted I may not have come to his shop with the phone, and the phone rang as I called with my second phone. so I had to call my Fiancée for assistance since she's with the keys.
At first, she said she was still around the Busstop but when I told her I needed her to go home and confirm my phones whereabout, she said she can't go back that she has gone far, shouted on me and hung the phone.

I called and called and called, but she didn't pick. Many thoughts ran into me. Who took this phone? My money? , my phone? , my sim card? . I had to find my way and trekked back about 4km to the house since I had no cash with me. And finally saw the phone ringing in my house. I was relieved.

The way she shouted to me on the phone got me unbalanced, I felt she would be fire if I get this girl as a wife.

We finally traveled to our home state today and I paid the bills for the traveling. My major plan of traveling was to see her people and do the needful before I mistakenly get her pregnant. But I'm seriously contemplating of canceling this plan and throw her out come January. I need peace.

Dear nairalanders, I'm really in the middle of the deep blue sea and the devil.

I need mature and candid advice please.
Should I continue with the marriage plans or the redflags are obvious?
Don't be in haste to do anything. The girl in question is yet to be on her own to take balanced decision. Most of her decisions are based on her need(accommodation) she may not really have feelings for you.

Politics / Re: Rivers Crisis: President Tinubu Won’t Just Fold Hands And Watch – Ajuri Ngelale by alizma: 8:18am On Dec 26, 2023
Those criticizing his intervention are the enemies of Rivers State and Nigeria by extension. Tinubu is the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the well being of the governor,the minister and the state involved are his responsibility, he is like a father figure for the 3, that is, the minister, governor and the state(Rivers people).
Going by the above, how does any well meaning individual or group expect him to ignore what is happening between these 3, especially when what is happening, if allowed to lingered, will have serious negative impact on them?
I can only give attention to the noise makers if any of them can produce authentic details of the intervention and such intervention is not fair by all standard.

TruthsFM:
Check out picture of Daddy G.O, Pastor Adeboye sitting on a king seat 💺 in Oyo State. Is it good or bad for our culture in Yoruba land 👁👁👁

Source: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/kUKxkQEkg3iEWNeV/?mibextid=K8Wfd2
First of all, from your sentence, I could detect that you aren't a Yoruba. Secondly, I observed you are not familiar with things in many palace and lastly, I guess you or the person that you got the cropped picture from, intentionally want to create unnecessary argument.
Now my response is this, in most palace, there are usually 2 big sits or 3, all the 2 or 3 chairs carry the king's title but one is usually bigger, more decorated than the other(s) and that is the main one for the king alone. The king, when receiving special guest, usually avail the guest the honour of sitting in one of those smaller chairs that carries his title and I think that is exactly the case of Daddy G.O.
The king some times can decide to sit on the smaller chair especially when he is with very close friend, at a more relax and unofficialperiod etc.
Family / Re: As I'm Enduring This, Am I Really Making My Children Better? by alizma: 4:31pm On Dec 23, 2023
Greatmind653:
Pls, if you don't really understand this post, don't comment please. If you're gender bias, pls, read and ignore.

Good morning kind hearted people in the house. Pls, I need honest and matured advice from experience and knowledgeable people in the house.

How can I train my sons especially my 11yrs old boy into a good, respectful, well behaved young man in a situation where he constantly see his father in gambling addiction, and the house is not always peaceful because of this?

How can I make them believe that the fact that their father does not provide anything for them nor anything in the house, does not mean they're not good enough?
My son has learnt the habit of not asking his Dad for anything no matter how little because he knows the answer already. He would rather starve than ask him for anything. Every of his needs, he will patiently wait for me.

I practically provide everything in the house and he knows. Infact my husband and my two sons can be in the house hungry for the whole day if I'm not around.
Any money he has is strictly for betting. He wouldn't even use it to feed himself not to talk of his children.
He eat anything I provide in the house without him providing. Most times it's very annoying.
Most times, we don't talk to each other in this house, yet anything I cook, he must eat.
I'm trying my best, because I can't watch my kids go hungry or stay without light, water, TV subscriptions and the rest. But once he's holding TV remote, no one dare change the channel.

How can I train well behaved young boys in a home like this? I'm so lonely and worried for my children too.

I'm no longer traumatized by his gambling addiction, because I have tried everything, and it didn't work if this is the life he wants, then fine.

I'm traveling with my two boys for the Christmas and I intend to stay in my family house for a very long time. Maybe not to return back here.
This house, I shoulder the house rent, all the bills all for the sake of my children. I don't want a broken home. I don't want my children growing up lonely without the presence of their both parents. But, am I doing the right thing here?
My husband has refused to change for years. all efforts, complain, family intervention all failed.
He's been in gambling even before we got married. I have endure for so long and I'm scared if what I'm enduring really worth it.

I've given up either.

Am I making my children better by staying together here or they could be better when we're apart?
Anyone experience this before?

What's the right thing to do here?
If he is not beating you and not in any other way threatening your life, I will advise you stay and pray to God for more blessing to enable you carry the load. See him as your cross for the sake of your children and what you believe in, that's keeping the house together. despite his gambling life style, I can tell you that his father figure is still a protection of a sort to you and the kids, take him out and you will see what you never imagined. I don't mean a threat but that is the truth.

This is not absolute in the sense that some state can generate far more than what they currently generate if left alone. Their dependent on FG allocation is so much that they don't want to look inwards. For example, you can't match the level of tax in Lagos with Bayelsa, many small and big businesses operates in Bayelsa without paying taxes to government

I don’t really understand some schools this days. My baby girl cleared all her subjects with distinction, all As and she was given 3rd position. She has been sobbing uncontrollably since yesterday. cry Yes, she was promised Christmas gifts and present if she takes first position in class this term.
I think she deserves the 1st position. I want to go to the school on Monday and appeal for result recheck. It can’t be!
I am not taking this o! My baby deserves 1st position with this result. cry cry
Your small girl is more brilliant than you. So having A across board now means she must come first? Common sense should have told you that another person may have gotten A in all the subjects but with higher aggregate than your child. Having A s all through doesn't mean she scored 100/100 in all the subjects. Only God knows the nonsense you have been feeding her since she came home with the result.
