So a man has 12 children and 3 wife's, he is already struggling with debts.. His monthly salary and barely feed his family not to talk about intrest on loans he has taken before

But miraculously he gets another loan of 2 billion naira

He then decide to book family vacation
sends his children to the most expensive school
Start building a mansion in the village
Buys super luxury cars

One of his children said that they should have invested this money into a business that can yield profit to pay back the debt first so the family won't be in more difficult problem

The other children call him enemy of progress, show him pictures of the cars n vacation then ask if those are not nice things

It's concurrently, so, it's 10 yrs but in real sense, it's 5 yrs. (Counting day night as 2 days).

Over ₦2b for just 5 years in jail.

Please bear with me I created a new account to remain anonymous.

Greetings everyone. I am currently facing a very difficult situation and would appreciate some guidance.

I have been married for ten years, and my wife and I have two wonderful boys. Like any marriage, we’ve had our challenges, but we have always worked through them and made things work. I have been the sole financial provider for our family.

In early 2025, we relocated to a new country and have been gradually settling in. When we arrived, we both found employment, but unfortunately, my wife’s lost her job. Since then, she has been passively searching for work and has been quite selective about the type of job she is willing to take, but so far she hasn’t received any interviews.

After the birth of our second child, I clearly communicated that I did not want to have any more children. I encouraged my wife to use contraception, which she agreed to, and I frequently asked for reassurance that it was still effective because I was certain I did not want another child. I must say I messed up here, I too should have had a vasectomy.
Last week, she told me she had missed her period. We took a pregnancy test, which came back positive, and a scan today confirmed that she is six weeks pregnant. She is very excited about the pregnancy, but I am deeply distressed and unsure how to express my concerns without causing harm.

I do not want another child because of the financial, emotional, and mental strain it would place on me. I am 39 years old, and my wife is 33. Being pregnant will also make it even more difficult for her to find employment, she I have been encouraging her to. At the moment, I am fully responsible for all household expenses, including rent, utilities, and food. Throughout our ten years together, I've carried 100% of the financial burden and was happy doing so, even during the times she was working. I never pressured her or asked for anything in return We live in a rented basement and have no support system in this new country—all our family members are back home. When I asked her to explain her reasons for wanting to keep the baby, just emotions and wanting to have a baby girl. She even requested a scan picture of the fetus afterwards we saw a radiographer. Pushing for an appointment

I strongly believe in being able to adequately provide for my children, including their future education, whether college or medical school. Adding another child would significantly increase the pressure on me and delay any sense of financial stability or retirement. I am content with the two sons we have and feel that another child would limit my ability to be fully present and supportive for them.

When I shared my concerns and mentioned the possibility of an abortion, my wife became very upset and started crying. I am worried that pressuring her could lead to resentment, and I do not want to force her into a decision. At the same time, I feel that my situation and perspective are not being fully considered.

I am struggling to find a way for her to truly understand my point of view while also respecting her feelings, and I am unsure what the best next step should be. I love my wife but this is too much on me.

So all these Toyota and car manufacturers no follow o.

Kalulu44:
You are getting it all wrong bro. Do my assertion tells you I support the boss. I'm just saying as an employee, there are certain things you don't do back to your boss. I for one can never be a wicked boss to the extent of shouting at my workers let alone assaulting them. But also as an employee, I give my bosses the utmost respect they deserve, even if I am older than them.
Ok, you said doesn't the boss knows her sales girl also have anger in her. Now where does her anger lead her to.
In life we ought to use sense to evade so many things.

Kalulu44:
Bro, you're somehow wrong. In as much no one should be slapping anyone anyhow, but you shouldn't retaliate your boss slaps. If he or she slap you one and about to do so again, just walk out from the scene or some metres away. To deescalate the situation

Please explain the last line

Is there any specific way to identify as a Nigerian or an immigrant more than Chibueze's statement dedicating his award to the triumphs and travails of immigrants in America? It showed a guy in tune with his Nigerian roots. Apparently, conscious of it.

Erivo is a lady I know too well. She was born in Stockwell. I live in Brixton. I have witnessed some of her Nigerian oriented activities in the past. Come on! They can't be denied their deserved media prominence in Nigeria.

I can't decipher how Samuel "Seal" Olamide was more Nigerian than Tyler Okonma, yet Seal's Grammy award was well received and publicised in Nigeria.


I don't even want to name actors that are Nigerians only in names but had their awards well published in Nigeria. I am not given to these ethnic suspicions but some are just real. And this one is a shame. Pity

"The human rights lawyers, explained that “court-martial proceedings are designed primarily for breaches of military discipline and offenses committed strictly within the military hierarchy."


This Falana sef. Who ranks higher than Tinubu in the military? He is the Commander-in-Chief. They deserve to be court-martialed, if they attempted a coup.

AyakaDunukofia:
Which of them said in private/public that he/she is not a Nigerian? Do Nigerians listen to African music alone? It's a shame. Everything in Nigeria has been turned into tribalism...

Ojuntana:
Kindly educate me

Ojuntana:
It is you who did not understand him before throwing insults at him zombie style (cc aswani)
He is saying the offence committed cannot be limited to a court martial since it is an offence against the state and not aganst the military as court martial exists for
I never knew proceedings of court martial can be appealed at higher courts of records. I'm just hearing that from you.

Alleged coup: Soldiers can’t be court martialed under Nigeria’s democratic system — Femi Falana


Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, and renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has stated that military officers accused of plotting a coup against the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot be tried by court-martial under Nigeria’s democratic system.


Falana stressed that such suspects must instead be prosecuted in civilian courts in line with constitutional provisions.


He made this clarification during an interview on national television, where he addressed growing public debate over the appropriate legal framework for handling alleged coup attempts in a democratic setting.

According to Falana, Nigeria is no longer under military rule and that the constitution clearly outlines how crimes against an elected government should be prosecuted.

“We are under a democratic government, and as far as the constitution is concerned, we have to take them to a high court,” Falana said.

“The soldiers cannot be court-martialed, they are not trying to remove a military dictator. It’s an attempt to remove an elected government, a constitutional government, to disrupt the constitutional arrangement,” he stated.

The human rights lawyers, explained that “court-martial proceedings are designed primarily for breaches of military discipline and offenses committed strictly within the military hierarchy.

“However, when the alleged offense amounts to treason or an attempt to overthrow a democratically elected government, the matter transcends internal military discipline and becomes a constitutional crime against the state.”

Falana noted that prosecuting such cases through military tribunals would be inconsistent with democratic principles and could undermine the supremacy of the constitution.


“Treason and treasonable felony are offenses clearly defined under Nigerian law and fall squarely within the jurisdiction of civilian courts,” he maintained

Guys, they deserve to be celebrated. It is not a small feat for an African country, or even elsewhere to have FOUR awardees in one Grammy event.

This is record breaking!!!!

Abeg go and sit down for one side

The truth of the matter is that Africa so much believes in Juju, that any item including towel placed around the vicinity of the post is regarded as Juju.

I remember the funny incident when Nigeria hosted AFCON in 2000.
Senegal tenaciously held on to a 1-0 lead against Nigeria until almost end of the match.
An NFF official suddenly rushed to Senegal's goal post & removed one object placed there. He was almost beaten up by Senegal, but soon after, Nigeria equalised through Aghahowa & went on to win the match.
