This is devilish, she should be severely punished.

Which kind of marriage people go into these days? I'm sure the wife must have hated him deep inside her for no other reason than cheating but still she has the option of walking away.

Cheating this, and that. Let the man talk about DNA test and see who will become jumpy. Hypocrites.

This Court case is as useless as the 'p' in Psychology. Attend Christian Universities if you want to 'worship'. That's what Christian Universities are doing to Muslims in the South. Two can play the game.

Why are you concerned with who paid? Are you sorry that men can now decode paternity frauds for free?

“For me to produce SS even when I marry SS as a AA. So I started voicing my displeasure out to my friends and one of them pointed me to Justice Court that they will do the DNA test for free. So I contacted them and arranged a sample for me and the boy for Paternity test.

Justice court paid

You're welcome.

Do you know why is she concerned about who paid for the DNA test? E shock am say it can now be done for free. Meaning that cost, which used to be the deterrence for men to unravelling some paternity mysteries, has now been rolled away.

In one of those attacks, I think at NDA, they even killed one General Okoronkwo by lynching. They took their time and no respite came his way from those irredeemable cowards. All their trainings, heavy budget and ammunition at their disposal, they still major in killing I innocent civilians and burning properties indiscriminately.

virtualbliss:


So you mean virgins don't have boyfriends?
How about the so called virgins that have anal sex jus to preserve their virginity.
How about virgins that do MouthAction, or virgins that are lesbians?

The fact that a girl is a virgin doesn't mean that they are sexually pure. Some of them engages in sexual acts as well but may not indulge in vaginal sex just to preserve virginity

Sounds like consolation. If she managed to abstain from vaginal sex in spite of the pressure, she is still purer then her peers who indulge in all those perversions in addition to vaginal sex. So she is still preferable.

fidelmarshal199:
The tragedy is that it took the Nigerian Police force 3 months to locate someone with an active bank account and bvn. It won't take fbi more than 2 minutes to detect the location of the person.



Actually, the process isn't really complicated just that our policemen are too lazy. Merely taking a police report to the bank, the bank will print the utility bill the customer submitted which will probably display the address of the customer and also provide the phone number and emails. It's as easy as eating a banana

It may not be that straightforward if the account is domiciled with third party operators such as Opay and their like. They are becoming more popular these days

Less i forget, yesterday i came a topic and clip here on Nairaland where the Pastor of Christ Embassy made an assertion that a Man should not send away His sin Partner aka 2nd, 3rd and so on women even if hebecomes Born again.

That is Unbiblical teaching from the pit of Hell.
In order words restitution is wrong.

GOD'S Word is the Standard not what Pst Chris or anybody thinks or says.

GOD'S Standard in the Bible is One Man one woman.
You cannot help GOD by your human brain.
We are to Obey GOD'S Word not Man's word.

We are in the last days where deception and deceits comes in different shades and fashion.

Do yourself good to be as the Berean Christians who took time to search and study thw word of God to ensure that what they were taught tallies with GOD'S word, the Holy Bible.

If Heaven Matters to you, you will live and Stick to GOD'S Word the Bible and not human feelings or Human sense.

You lie. God's standard is not any one man to one wife. That's the English standard for marriage. You may educate me further with quotes from the scripture.
Politics / Re: Hardship: “Tinubu Has Done Well, Nigeria Is So Complex” – Buhari Declares by Amumaigwe: 6:16pm On Mar 11
Thissystem:
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the efforts of President Bola Tinubu, stating that Tinubu has done well since assuming office on May 29, 2023.

Buhari made the remarks during a meeting with the Comptroller-General and members of the management team of the Nigeria Customs Service in Daura, Katsina State.


Despite the country’s current economic challenges, Buhari expressed his appreciation for Tinubu’s performance, acknowledging the complexity of Nigeria’s issues.

According to him, there isn’t much that anyone can do due to the intricacies of the nation

He also asked Nigerians to endure the country’s economic hardship and support the current administration’s policies and programmes.


His words: “I thank you very much for coming. I very much appreciate it. I thought Tinubu has done very well.

”Nigeria is so complex. Really, there isn’t much anybody can do.”

You can ask for help for your Sorty without blackmailing her husband whom you are yet to hear his own side. Stop this manipulation because men that are increasing becoming aware of the character of women and will quickly read between line and decipher the truth and refrain from helping.

That'a not the issue at hand. The issue is that it is not only wrong, but ungodly to put aside any of your wives because you claim you are now born again.

The bible never said that, christians ahould aeriously ask themselves where they got that idea from that a man should out aside one of his wives if he become born again.

Is it not a sin to do what God has not tod you to do? why christians accept to teach that falsehood is what is beyond me.

If you disagree with Oyakhilome, then put forward your arguement and show that they are superior to his. That is fair enough, right?

You are even going too far. Quote one scripture that contradicts polygamy. God is not interested in the number of wives anybody marries. Just pay the dowry and you are good to go

Politics / Re: Abduction Of Idps, Students Is Against Values Of Humanity — FG by Amumaigwe: 4:26pm On Mar 09
Bobloco:


The Federal Government has condemned the abduction of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, at Wurge community in Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State by a group of armed ISWAP terrorists.

Equally, the government flawed the abduction of school-age children at Government Secondary School (GSS) Kuriga in Gwagwada District, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, by a group of bandits.


Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, described the abductions as “utterly unacceptable and go against all the fundamental values of humanity.”


He made the point in a statement today, Saturday.

According to the minister, “The government stands resolutely against any form of violence or coercion targeted at innocent civilians, especially the most vulnerable among us.

“Our children deserve to seek education in conditions devoid of harm or threat of harm, and any threat to their security is a direct attack on the future of our country.”

He noted that President Bola Tinubu had directed security agencies to swiftly ensure the safe return of all abducted persons, and the arrest of the perpetrators.

“The government will spare no effort in our pursuit of justice for the victims and in our determination to hold perpetrators of such heinous acts accountable to the full extent of the law.

“The public is urged to remain calm but vigilant and to provide any relevant information that may assist the security agencies.

“Collective action and solidarity are essential if we are to effectively combat the menace of banditry, insurgency, and insecurity in our country.


“Furthermore, the government reaffirms its unwavering commitment to protecting the lives and property of citizens, and will continue to work very hard to ensure that the capacity of criminals to launch these attacks is constantly and irreversibly degraded.”

*He was the first gubernatorial candidate in Nigeria to legally challenge to its logical conclusion, his governorship electoral victory that was denied him. He won in the Courts and reclaimed his mandate.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*Though the only Governor whose political party was in government in only one State, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum twice.

*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years rather than the usual one year.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20.
