If Tiger Woods were your husband, would you divorce him?

No, I won't - Nkechi Achilike, businesswoman




http://odili.net/news/source/2009/dec/19/509.html

Divorce is completely out of the way. Everybody has his own life to live. But open sex is out of the way. Because of my kids I will stay to get my own inheritance. Anyway, I don’t think he will have time for my sex, so I will stay.

I won’t divorce -Obiamaka Aniegunam, PR consultant

I will not divorce him because being famous has its ups and downs and one of them is being exposed to lust from the opposite sex. One should also bear in mind that it sometimes gets boring being with one person for so long especially for the men. Even from the biblical point of view, one should forgive.

No way -Folorunsho Alakija, fashion designer

No, I will not divorce him. He needs prayers.

Not an option -Omoshaba Grace, journalist

No, I will not divorce him if there is no threat to life and I am legally married to him. If he still loves me and I love him too, it can still work out.

It needs introspection -Temitope David-Adegboye, Celebrity writer

I guess the situation would require me to examine myself too, rather than pass judgment hastily. Fourteen mistresses? Something must be wrong with our relationship. If in the end I find it’s me that caused it, I guess I will let him go. On the other hand, if it’s just his position and money that entered his head, I guess we may have to talk things out. I feel that with all these wahala he has faced in few weeks, he won’t ever go back to it. So, I might just stand by him.

I say no -Funmi Azike, beautician

Nigerian factor, family and extended family might not allow me divorce someone of that status. And you know, we black women like to preserve our marriages no matter the degrading cost.

I won’t try that -Aramide Oikelome, journalist

No, I won’t divorce him so long as I am his only lawfully wedded wife.

It won’t be wise -Bibian Egwuatu, Immigration officer

She who deserts the husband because he was tempted is not a good wife. A lot of women are out there waiting to enter and will tolerate the man so far their own right reaches them.

I will show him love -Rubby Acholonu, businesswoman

Since she was married to the man before he had concubines, she should be there. Again since the man loves her, she should love the man and take care of the house. Since the man did not bring the women home, she should stay and show the man love may be one day the man can repent and drive away those women.

I want just his repentance -Atim Ikpeme, journalist

I will not divorce him if he shows remorse and returns home. He is my husband and father of my children.

Woods is no exception -Mary Eziashi, company CEO

Ninety nine per cent of men cheat not to talk of a young man with that kind of wealth. I will rather concentrate in keeping my marriage by ignoring the rubbish scandal and beg him in the bedroom to protect himself well from STD and HIV if he must do mistresses. As long as I am loved and cared for by my cheating husband, I would stay. Men are animalistic in nature when it comes to sex. It is only by God’s grace that good wives stay in marriage. This is simply the fact of life.

I won’t divorce -Dorcas James, teacher

If I were his wife, I will not divorce him because marriage is all about facing challenges together no matter how tough. It is also about true love, which forgives.

I leave him to his God -Agatha Emeadi, journalist

I will not divorce him because death is the only recommended reason according to the Bible. His adultery is for him and his God.

Olu Maintain, of Yahoozee fame, loses home
Baseline with ODU Black, 12.18.2009
Saturday, December 19, 2009




Olu Maintain sang his way to the top of A-list acts in Nigeria when he released his celebratory track Yahoozee, but this season seems to be short of celebratory reasons for the crooner. News reaching BASELINE is that Mr. Olu has sold his Anthony Village three bed room flat that served as his residence.

http://odili.net/news/source/2009/dec/19/203.html

A copy of the transfer of ownership made available to BASELINE shows that Mr. Olu had secured a loan from a new generation bank to finance the purchase of the house with the agreement to service the loan periodically. After servicing the loan for a period of time, we gathered the singer couldn’t sustain payments for the house any longer, hence his decision to allow the bank to take over the sale of the house.

As you read this, the house has been sold and Olu has been settled with the deposit he paid for the house. As for his new residence, BASELINE will surely keep you posted.

We’ve Turned Up Our Game - X-Project

The trio of Majeed, Saal and Sleez that make up the boy band X-Project say they are not only ready to release a new album, they are also ready to take their game to the next level. The group’s album tagged “Turn it Up” was released under their founding label SKP and us a 14 track album that features a blend of old and young acts in the music industry.

From the older generation and the street music scene is the ghetto king Daddy Show Key. The incredible one MI represents the new generation and Hip-hop acts on the album that has beats from the likes of OJB, Chris Okoro and the group’s in house producer Majeed.

On why it took the band over two years to return with a single after the success of “Lori Le”, one of the band member had this to say: “We saw the way our fans accepted our last album and we did not want to let them down, that is why we decided to take as much as a year plus to work on this new album and by the grace of God and the support of our label, we have put down this 14 tracks that would prove to our critics and fans alike that we are not a one hit wonder act.”

To show their desire to take the game to higher heights, the band is set to release 11 videos from their new album.

Cabasa Hits Benue State for New Talents

Play Me Entertainment has picked prolific music producer Id Cabasa along side yet to be disclosed other music personalities in the country to search Benue State for new music stars through “The Star in Me” talent show hunt.

The show which is organized to search Benue State for new talents will berth in other northern states in the near future to help discover young talents from the Northern part of Nigeria. Benue State, according to Ladi Ogungbemi, is a state that has produced great musicians like Tu Face Idibia, Terry G, Black Face, Zaki Azee and Bongos Ikwe, hence “our decision to search the state in search of fresh talent because for every Tu Face you have today, we have about ten undiscovered ones in Benue State.

“That is why we want to give them the opportunity. I will like to say a big thank you to our state governor, Gabriel Suswam who has shown great support for the empowerment of young people,” he concluded.

Play Me Entertainment is an entertainment outfit that provides content for radio and television in Nigeria.

New Kids on the Block

Although she might be married with two lovely daughters and once worked for a new generation bank before resigning, Anne Emmanuel Ibrahim who performs under the stage name Anny says “I am ready to fulfill my dreams.” The beautiful mother of two who loves making friends and meeting people, is set to release her second video “You Are too Much” to compliment her first video “Alleluyah” that featured the soulful South-south Keffi.

Aside from shooting a new video the gifted singer says she is set to go on a nation wide tour to promote her new project even as she offered a word of advice for other female singers: “No matter what you do as a young lady in show biz, always remember your self worth because your pride as a woman can not be bought with silver and gold.|

Anny’s new video is directed by Bobby Hai of Sauti Cinemas.

How Fashola survived impeachment plot
By Lekan Fadeyi, Assistant News Editor

• Automatic ticket for second term threatened



http://odili.net/news/source/2009/dec/19/402.html


It has emerged that members of the Lagos State House of Assembly actually collated signatures to sack Governor Babatunde Fashola after seven impeachable offences were allegedly established against him days after he and the Action Congress (AC) denied any infighting in the party.

A source at the Alausa seat of power in the state said the signature collation followed months of complaints that Fashola was going it alone without carrying along the Assembly and the party chieftains, who are said to be upset at the man for not oiling the AC machinery as expected of a loyal party man.

The source said the Assemblymen had complained to former Governor, Bola Tinubu, that Fashola was not carrying them along, and were told to exercise restraints, as their grievances would be addressed.

Saturday Independent was further informed that “Tinubu also told them of his frustration with the man on many fronts. However, he promised to talk to him. I can confirm to you that the former Governor once came to the Round House and he almost wept. He asked the man in charge what his offences were to deserve some treatments being meted to him.

“At a time, it became clear that the man (Fashola) would not be moved and the other camp had to go back to Tinubu. It is believed that the man told them to look into the books and see what they can do. He reportedly told them that no governor can be so careful as not to commit any impeachable offence. Eventually, they got at least seven impeachable offences. Add that to complaints that Fashola was not implementing the party’s manifesto and the problem becomes compounded.

“Funny enough, one of them was said to have leaked the compilation of list of offences and the signature strength to Fashola, who reportedly became jittery and came to the realisation that he had gone too far. He settled with the Assembly immediately, and has agreed to listen to them to avoid further trouble.”

The source refused to divulge any of the impeachable offences, but said the Governor’s adversaries had planned to rally public opinion behind them by citing his alleged refusal to listen to the party on key policy issues, particularly those the masses say impose hardship rather than comfort on them.

Alausa continues to deny that any rift ever existed between Fashola and his predecessor. A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Opeyemi Bamidele, last week said “Tinubu has never mounted any pressure on the Governor and government and any such report is mischievous, wicked and malicious. It is also not true that Governor Fashola had twice nearly resigned following illicit demands and indecent pressure and harassment on him.”

This paper was, however, reliably informed that the conflict between both men may have polarised the party.

Some party chieftains are not happy with Fashola “because they believe he hardly respects them. In fact, top party men, including a deputy chairman, are wondering how Fashola will be giving them a month’s appointment just because they want to see him. They don’t find it funny. One of them even complained of the Governor delaying him for one hour, and at the end of the day he didn’t see him. This is considered unacceptable,” a source volunteered.

Asked what the thinking is ahead of the 2011 poll, the source said nothing is certain yet, but that the appearance at the AC Convention last weekend of the Democratic Peoples Alliance (DPA) Governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje, may imply he plans to return to his former party.

“And if that is the case, I can tell you Agbaje enjoys the support of large number of AC members. They were not comfortable with his leaving the party before. And don’t forget, Agbaje was a candidate to beat. Look at his campaigns and the large followings he commanded within a short period. Lagosians will accept him if he replaces Fashola as AC candidate in 2011,” the source concluded.

America was not built on Christianity. You need to stop. Nobody used the Bible to rule any place, and if they did, killing the natives must be from the Bible. No? The religion only on the tongue and not on the earth does not count, so Christianity does not count. And by the way the founding fathers were rebelling against Kingdom of England! And Europe ruled with Iron Fist and they put their lead feet all over Africa, colonising them. Good religion indeed! You better come here and become a muslim and dont play Ostrich head with your God. You will be sorry at the end in Hell fire, not the fake lake of fire you can tell me where it is, and there are 7 heavens, which one are you going, man?

It's only Jesus who can keep you away from hell fire. Don't say I didn't warn you.

olabowale:
Religion is an ordered process including commandments, rules and laws in measure to guide people's lives. If Chistianity doe s not have any, tough, then you guys are just acting on impulses and mere emotions. Things like that are not from God the Creator!
About nation or religion to another not like them, King Emperor (President) Bush started his "resolve" of 911 by saying it is "CRUSADE"! I am sure you can navigate the maze from there! Roman legions, etc fight with the cross on their symbol. Jews fight with Star of David on them, though they call Prophet David an adulterous man (astaghafirullah). You Christians say the same thing, too.

Christianity does not support war; it's Islam that declares war on innocent lives because of apostasy.

olabowale:
Emeka, if your are ashamed of truth as i continue to ask you of your opinion of your own lover and a man, just say so. Playing semantic is not going to work with me. I am not emotional, so since Christianity is perfect, Jesus called people Fools, Dogs, leaches, Vipers, etc, while you abuse Allah my Creator and your Creator, Prophet Muhammad (AS) the last of the link in the chain of Prophethood consisting of Adam, Anoch, Noah, Ibrahim, Lut, Ismail, Isiaq, Yaqub, Yusuf, Musa, Haruun, etc, etc and indeed Isa bin Maryam (AS Jami'a)! Emeka when you abuse or insult Muhammad (AS) you insult all those people and the Creator Who sent them! Now you understand me, since I know that you are as sharp as a tack, and not dumb as a dumbbell!

Life, liberty, happiness, joy, salvation given unto us through the new covenant. That is why we break bread and drink wine in remembrance of Him. When Christ died, the veil in the temple got torn and mankind's hope was hanging in balance the whole 3 days He was yonder but Glory be to God He rose on the third day.

You can preach religion and all but that will never save you.

Livvvvy:



@Aloy.Emeka
Apart from tithing, there are other ways of appreciating God, like giving Charity to the most needing, contributing freely [/b]to the building of God's house, cleaning, sweeping and beautifying of the church, fighting for the  oppressed, helping the widows, orphans and the less priviledge, the list is endless.
God says he doesn't require sacrifices from us but a contrite and repentant heart. Giving of Tithe is good only when it is done out of your [b]freewill and not out of[b] compulsion[/b].

You are still required to give tithes according to malachi 3:10. Don't make it look like it's optional.

Achebe coloquium: The irrelevance of Nigeria-America relations
Posted To The Web: Saturday, December 19, 2009 - Obi Nwakanma


I WAS not at the Chinua Achebe colloquium which took place last week in Rhode Island. But while it was going on in Providence, I was myself at a party in the St. Louis home of the economist, Dr. Remi Onwumere with Dr. Sylvester Ugoh, Harvard-trained economist and Nigerian politician.

Dr. Ugoh began his career after graduate school in Harvard in 1961 as a pioneer lecturer in the Economics Department of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and only later senior fellow of the Centre for Development Studies of the University of Nigeria, in its Enugu campus; former governor of the Bank of Biafra, former minister of science and technology and later of education in the Shagari government, and former vice-presidential candidate in the National Republican Party in the June 12 1993 election.

Dr. Ugoh currently resides in Maryland. He could have been a serious contributor to the Achebe colloquium had he been invited. But I was lucky in this respect to reacquaint myself with him, and he did say that night at the party, about Nigeria, “the country shames us all but we cannot give up on it. We need a credible mass to do the work of rescue.”

In my mind, however, the Achebe colloquium used the opportunity to do more of the same thing; that is, talk and talk, and provide stages for more talk of the same kind about the peculiar condition called “Nigerianitis.”

It is a complex disease, and among its more obvious symptoms is loud talk, which then is followed by loud fart, the variation of which I’m told was supplied by Emeka Nwadioha, Chief Whip of the House of Representatives, who incidentally represents my constituency in the Nigerian Federal House. I was told on some good authority, that Emeka, among whose future ambitions is to be governor of Imo State, wore a $38,000 wristwatch and when taken to task justified it by claiming to own some wealth before he ventured into politics.

That claim is an unverifiable one because, as far as I know, Nwadioha did not inherit wealth, nor was he born into one, nor did he do anything of significance prior, other than work for government. He also attempted to justify the mad emoluments that service the lusts of members of the Nigerian political elite, and in his particular case, members of the House of Representatives by asking his audience to compare it with what a US legislator receives.

It is this mindset, of drawing parallels between a poor, backward country like Nigeria whose means are still rather very basic with America, the richest country on earth, with years of mechanisms of scrutiny, that allows the kind of impunity in which, as recently revealed, members of the Nigerian House of Representatives spent N52 billion in two years just for local and international travels!

Fellow Nigerians, please note, that N52 billion naira could provide very high-paying jobs for 30, 000 currently unemployed Nigerian university graduates, and could stimulate the economy in more practical and direct ways, properly channeled. But this is what just a few members of the House of Representatives claim and spend in just two years!

But observe on the flip side, the arrogant self-justification of the Nigerian Speaker of the House, who was invited to the Achebe colloquium, but who chose to send the chief whip, who came to Providence to talk pumpkins. In my view, this blind arrogance is only possible because Nigerians just love to talk, occasionally carry banners into the street, and have very little capacity for real political action. Talk alone cannot do it, because indeed, I suspect that nobody is listening.

The talk also happens more at the elite levels, where we have learnt, as in the colloquium, to speak to ourselves, in the abstract language of logic and with pretention. Among the outcomes of the colloquium was the harsh critique of apparently well-meaning former US ambassadors to Nigeria, who pointed out the increasing irrelevance of Nigeria to America in global and sub-regional politics.

What Ambassador Lyman and co confirmed was my position in my column in July this year on the American president’s visit to Ghana. Nothing new there, I suppose. But as I also said, it would be fool-hardy to ignore, or downgrade Nigeria, even as it is currently going through a terribly rough patch.

But just as the US is downgrading its relationship with Nigeria, and just as the discovery of oil in other parts of Africa is challenging Nigeria’s status as a major supplier to the US, Nigerians themselves are also increasingly downgrading their relationship with the US.

They have increasingly found new directions in China and increasingly also in India, where many Nigerians now go to hospital, and where new potentials for trade and other partnerships are opening up as never before.

As I interview many Nigerians and gauge this development, I am struck by the truly emerging “irrelevance”of America to Nigerians, who also see China particularly as the new kid on the block, and India as a veritable traditional ally with whom they share the colonial and postcolonial experience, and membership of the non-aligned and South-South Commissions.

There are many Indians who have settled and naturalized in Nigeria, and many who have been doctors, teachers, engineers, etc. in Nigeria especially in the 1970s and 1980s, when India was at the heights of its own economic and political crisis.

This growing “irrelevance” of America is incremental, especially among a new generation of Nigerians, whose earlier generation embraced America, inspired by Azikiwe and the Argonauts “to look towards America” but who increasingly feel that US international policies and the activities of its multinationals have been complicit in establishing corruption in Nigeria and sustaining the political crisis associated with underdevelopment.

This has been the feeling since 1999 when many Nigerians felt that the US had a hand in imposing Olusegun Obasanjo and maintaining him in power.

How 1derful and marvelous he has been to me this.

How can I repay the Lord for his goodness to me. Father, I am grateful.

I hope you are up to date with your tithes. Never owe God and ignore these nairalanders who tell you that tithing is not biblical. The bible says it's their closed heart that makes them act that way. Remember the story of Cain and Abel. While Abel gave God the fattest from his flock, Cain sacrificed a yam eaten by smuts. How God received their sacrifice is a story for another day.

So, count all those blessings one by one and show gratitude to God accordingly.

Uduaghan, Schwarzenegger, others form coalition
Posted To The Web: Friday, December 18, 2009 - Chioma GABRIEL, Deputy Editor

Delta state Governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, has joined Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, United States, Premier Jean Charest of Quebec, Canada, President Jean Paul Huchon of Region of Ile-de France and Mr. Cherif Rahmani, the Algerian Environment Minister, who leads the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Africa Group, in Copenhagen, Denmark, to form a new coalition of sub-national leaders that would fast track the results of the Copenhagen Climate Change summit, known as Club of 20 Regions or R20. These are to encourage their various national governments to take action and show stronger commitments in fighting climate change.

These founding members from their declaration will work out the coalition’s principles, formulate a shared vision of global security and prosperity and recruit other sub national members for an official launch of the Club of 20 Regions (R20) next September. The R20 coalition is an extension of the Declaration signed at Governor Schwarzenegger’s Governors’ Global Climate Summit 2 in October, which Governor Uduaghan attended.

Speaking at the reception for this group, Governor Uduaghan explained that his mission was to see that his commitment to ending the state’s dependence on oil receives international support, as part of his goal to build an economy that is less dependent on crude oil.

According to him, “I have a particular interest in charging my people to understand the challenges of climate change and to encourage them to key into a new economy that is not built on oil. My position is that oil is not renewable and is subject to boom and burst, and now we have to contend with its environmental hazards. In addition, we are now facing the prospect of a gradual elimination of oil as the dominant global commodity. I want my people to be ready for the realities of this century. R20 will help me do that.”

Governor Schwarzenegger in his own comments said: “R20 will help pave the way in the transition to a green economy that will clean the environment, create green jobs and respond to the unavoidable impacts of climate change. Action is needed at the national and international levels to reduce the effects of global warming, but California has shown that state and regional governments can also institute policies on their own that will see real environmental improvements and grow green jobs.

R20 will continue that sub national leadership around the world by recognizing that meeting the challenges of climate change requires an unprecedented level of cooperation and collaboration through all levels of government.”

According to Premier Jean Charest of Quebec, “Québec is known as a leader among sub national states when it comes to mitigating greenhouse gases and adapting to the impacts of climate change. I am convinced that we can and should play an important role in the fight against climate change.”

By Coming together members of the R20 are expected in the days ahead to commit to sharing successful climate solutions, transferring innovative technology to implement targets and combining voices to urge negotiators toward a post_Kyoto climate agreement.

The members of R20 will prepare a work plan to: Develop a shared vision for global security and prosperity; Pursue adaptation strategies to address current and future climate change; Mitigate greenhouse gas emissions; Support public_private partnerships and the use of finance mechanisms to address global warming; Promote technology transfer and capacity building agreements.

Aloy is an under-cover "tribalist".

Gosh, I'm even tired of using the word, tribalist on this nairaland. It doesn't even make sense.

Yes, I am an under cover tribalist against your tribalistic yansh. Fool.

“This is because she fights all our neighbours and my tenants frequently. She does not respect me, she goes out at her own free will and comes back whenever she prefers. In fact ,I don’t love her anymore.”

Sounds like an excuse to divorce her.

Asked by the president of the court, Mr. J. A. Eko, where he is getting the powers to satisfy the women and if his action is not injurious to his health, he said: “The wives can testify to my claims that I satisfy them well in bed. If you ask me to bring any of them ,I will oblige the court. I don’t feel bad or tired of it” .

A very silly and unprofessional question that should be addressed in the court of law. What kind of judiciary do we run in Nigeria?

In her own response, the woman told the court that the man had denied her sex since November last year. She claimed that contrary to the man’s testimonies, he possess no power to satisfy her in bed again but she said she is still in love with the man if he is ready to reconcile with her.
“My Lord, he does not come to my room anymore. He made love to me last in November last year. I can tell the court that he was not doing it well again like before

This man must have what other men don't have.

SEFAGO:

yes ooo, the way the self-styled jews are yapping their mouths, na photocopy they bring sef. I just want to make sure it is safe sha, because everything i used to buy from these boys always pafukaed after one day of use. If this truck stops in the middle of third mainland bridge wetin go happen

People who reason like you are the reason we are still backward in Nigeria. From my intuition, I can deduce that you are ridiculing the man's project simply because of his ethnicity?. How dumb can African be. Don't you know that if the company grows, many Nigerians and other west Africans stand to gain employment there?. If someone like you becomes the minister in charge of industries, you will do your best to frustrate that man because he is a 'self styled jew'. Yet we blame yaradua for every problem in Nigeria.

The Nigerian government will never ever patronize this industry because it will mean that those contractors who supply foreign vehicles to the government will make nothing. Corruption is our major problem.

Dis Guy:

Equ blame the hausa that don't even know you exist, your Igbotic governor bought 200 cars annualy from obodo oyinbo dash it out to cab drivers and girlfriends, the only ndi igbotic thing about this business flair is that the contract was awarded to a fellow igbo man probably a cousin, he probably didnt know this company existed! oloshi you wont blame your own governors first before paranoia set in

how many ndi igbo governors are supporting this company, they are busy riding about in abuja with their imported machine, Mazi-Diss-Bends in Abuja swapping Yoruba girls with their hausa brethrens

oyinara

You are very stupid indeed. What calls for this abuse on Yoruba women now?
