thank you very much, i know a lot of women say men dont like settling down this days but i must confess, this experience is enough to pack the bag and leave, if you love a woman and all that u get is a recurrence of what u abolish, its not worth it. but i love her so much, its why her manners and ways are affecting me so badly. i have an exam on the way and i cant focus. i told her about this and she dint say a word...still on malice episode

To start with am not married but I can share my little opinion from interaction with woman over the years...I have come to notice that sometimes most woman hardly take a straight correction from things they do wrong when it is common directly from their man and here is the best way to go about..When u sit her down that u don't like what she is doing, she won't understand exactly how u feel regarding what happen because it has never happened to her that way...Try and do exactly what she does to u. Like for example, you can flash her phone for one seconds so a missed call will appear on her fone without her knowing...When u get home query her like she usually does and blow it out like she does but all this should be in pretense not u quarreling her like u meant it for real...After the whole saga and when she starts to feel bad, draw her close and explain to her that this is how u feel when she does same thing to you....Only then will she realise how much her actions hurts u and then she can make a permanent correction...Do this in all cases she usually quarrel u about....Have often tried this on ladies and it has worked perfectly, hope it can work for you too...Best of luck

I won't toll this tribal lines like most people do here on Nairaland...Here is my take on this Oba brouhaha: if you want to vote for Jimi Agbaje, vote him base on ur believe in his candidacy..let ur reason for voting him be on his antecedent and not what the Oba said...I think whoever choose to vote Jimi because of what the Oba said has already made up his/her mind to vote JIMI....If I can still remember vividly, people still voted for GEJ irrespective of what madam Patience and Dokubo said..your vote ur choice

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] It is a pretty tough call when you look at it from a racing point of view,Nigeria as a Ferrari deserves a driver with cunning,a respect for the laws of physics and great sportmanship...Pairing it with an illiterate cowherder will make for a very bumpy ride.Closest thing Buhari ever came to democracy was dethroning one,how he will maintian this one especially with its rudiments of rule of law and Freedom of/after speech remains to be seen..Then you have the small problem of thieffnubu via his puppet Osinbade in charge of the economy and national tax.The current impoverishment of Lagos by the kleptomaniac should be an example to all.....Alibaba and the forty thieffnubus.[/color]

If u like cry from now till next year, shed tears from now till 2019 it will not change the fact that GEJ has been shown the exist door at aso rock..No amount of changing of names be it Ichidodo or ichipuffpuff or texoco, it will never bring GEJ back..Get over it, suck it up and support our Amiable General so Nigeria can be a better place than the way the suppose PHD holder has handled it..

This Oba should go and sit down jare...It was him that started the controversy for Ambode when he openly declare him as his choice and from then on we started hearing it was tinubu that picked him...That said, our igbo folks should try and reconsider their options and vote base and antecedent and capability of the candidate not on sentiment...The Oba can't tell the igbo who to vote for and our igbo folks too should stop saying lagos is no mans land...it is very disrespectful

Professor Tam David-West served as Minister of
Petroleum and Energy when the new President-
elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd), was the
Military Head of State from 1984 to 1985. In this
interview with YINKA FABOWALE and OLUSEYE
OJO in Ibadan, the professor of virology talks
extensively on the person of Buhari that millions
of Nigerians do not know. Excerpts:
Will it be right to describe Gen Buhari’s win
in the just concluded presidential election
as a personal victory to you?
It cannot be a personal victory to me; that will be
too much. It’s victory to Nigerians, victory to
those people in Nigeria, who have over the years
have supported this cause. It is not for me. I was
only one person telling people what he is. I have
worked with him and I know him. I worked very
closely with him.
As an oil minister, I was closer to him than most
ministers because we have hotlines; few
ministers had hotlines with him. Whenever I talk
about Buhari, I am talking about somebody I
know. I am not talking about stereotype, am
talking about somebody I know firsthand.
He has good qualities. He is a unique man. The
former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar,
described him as an extraordinary Nigerian.
Why do I love him? First, he is very honest. He is
not corrupt at all. He’s disciplined and he’s
focused. I worked with Buhari and I worked with
Babangida (Gen Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida,
retd). If you give a 20- page memo to Buhari by
9:00 this morning, by 10 he has finished reading
it and he will ask you to come. When you get
there, you will see that he has read it and made
notes. If you give the same memo to Babangida,
he would not read it for one week.
Buhari loves Nigeria, not only because he was a
soldier and signed his life for Nigeria, I know
from all the people around, he’s the only person
that I can vouch for. They used to insult me that
Jonathan (President Goodluck Jonathan) is Ijaw
and I am an Ijaw man too, why am I supporting
a Fulani man? I am not going to support you
because you are Ijaw, I am going to support you
to lead Nigeria and do well for the country
I have written two books on Buhari: one is who
really is Gen Buhari and the other one is 16 sins
of Buhari, which are qualities of Buhari. In the
book, I wrote on the lies they are telling about
him. In fact, Femi Adesina (Managing Director of
The Sun newspapers) was the master of
ceremony when I launched the book at NIIA
(Nigerian Institute of International Affairs) in
Lagos.
I have a third book on him, which I have not
finished – General Buhari: A Rare Gem. I don’t
have Buhari’s phone number. I don’t phone him.
Why do I do that? It’s because I don’t want to be
tempted to be phoning him to discuss. If I want
to talk to Buhari, I know how.
Buhari can turn this country around. I have
strong faith in this. If my father is contesting an
election against Gen Buhari as president, I will
vote for Buhari, not my father. I will tell my
father: I know you are a good man. But you have
no business with politics. You cannot do it. you
are a banker, go and manage money. I cannot
vote for you because Buhari will do better than
you. Buhari is a fantastic man.
For example, they are talking of economy while
the greatest problem in Nigeria is corruption. If
you can take care of corruption, everything will
fall in place. Gen Buhari refused to devalue the
naira in spite of the fact that when he came to
power, Nigeria was broke. Shagari (Alhaji Shehu
Shagari, former president of Nigeria), was
negotiating for N2billion IMF loan before he was
overthrown.
Buhari told me he would not take IMF loan. I
asked him why and he said: If you take loan of
N2billion now, we will not be able to finish
paying it before we leave. So, the debt will be
there for our children. He’s as careful as that.
You must have read that Buhari cancelled Lagos
metro line. It is a lie. I have published the story
before. I don’t write anything without a research.
I phoned him on it and he said: No, when we
came to power on January 1, 1984, Nigeria did
not know how much foreign debt they are
owing. They don’t know the figure. Shagari did
not know.
He said Lagos State came with a project, which
would gulp over N100billion or so, guaranteed
by the Federal Government. It’s a big loan for the
project in those days. He said Federal
Government could not guarantee the loan of
N100billion when we did not know how much we
are owing. So, Lagos State government thought
of it, looked at it and jettisoned it by itself. He
told me: Look professor, how can I cancel a
project that I am not part of? I cannot cancel it.
Buhari cited another example. He said when he
was in PTF (Petroleum Trust Fund), the first N1.2
billion they made was spent on Lagos
waterworks. Many people just write, they don’t
investigate. This is why I don’t have respect for
so many people called intellectuals. When Bu­
hari was Head of State, $1.5 was N1:00; today, it
is over N190 to $1 dollar. Then, it was N2 to £1;
today it is over N240 to £1.
As regards the economy, they are talking that
the oil price has fallen. Oil is still being sold for $
57 per barrel. When Buhari came to power, oil
price was $30 per barrel. During that time too, it
went down to about $15. But he managed the
economy.
When OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum
Exporting Countries) decided to get the market
share, oil price fell to about $15 per barrel, yet
we survived. We survived because of good lead­
ership and good focus. Now, they are saying the
oil price is coming down, what will Buhari do?
I am absolutely certain that Buhari will turn the
economy round. Why? It is because some of the
blueprints he had to turn the economy round, he
had not implemented before he was
overthrown. I know that some of the blueprints
are still on his table. So, one of the blueprints we
used was very ingenious. The London Financial
Times of May 1984 said it was extra-ordinary.
We made IMF irrelevant. It is very simple. The
economy can move.

Cc: Gbawe, Aresa, passingshot,ilungunboy,cleverly, please kindly repost so It can get to front page...We most educate those people who still think Negatively about our amiable General

Henrypraise41:
He is still a hero if i may chip in, do you think that running a big country like nigeria is a child's play? There are some forces both spiritual & physical that you hardly resist. He tried his best and paved way for another person steer ship you said he wasnt a hero, had it been he refused to accept defeat nigeria could have been in a chaos by then may be you will be in outside nigeria telling the whole world another different thing.

We just thrown out a tenant who has refused to pay house rent for 2yrs..Guess he is an hero for refusing to break the rough of the house before leaving...You lot are not concern about how the country has been run down but instead u guys try to Make the person who made the country like this an Hero..Okay oo he is an Hero!

Ask4bigneyo:
If only BUHARI had accepted defeat in 2011 just the
way GEJ did, 800 Nigerians including corpers wont
have died. If it was APC that lost, we would have been
hearing sounds of war here and there.
A man called "CLUELESS" has shown us what
democracy truly mean. The US and Western World
predicted that Nigeria will split but GEJ put them to
shame.
PGEJ was the CHANGE we all have been clamouring,
longing for and talking about...he CHANGED our
political history by conceding defeat without
unnecessary argument.
GEJ will forever be remembered in Nigerian History.
RESPECT!!!

Guess will should give him Nobel award...If my brain serves me correctly Abdusallam also handed power over to the Civilian government...What should we call him?

ITbomb:
This is my answer


When they accuse you of stealing and you keep quiet, you are guilty according to Nigeria Street rules.

I won't say anything based on a tweet, until the military confirms it. However, the certificate issue is a non issue for me

The military has shown it on tv and by the way the Certificate is Old not new so there won't be any basis for saying it was forged...I have the pix I can't upload it

OREMUSSANCTUS:

MzJackBaueress:

To hell with you and whatever you feel.

I have never done this on Nairaland before to insult any one but I want to do this right now in the mood of victory
1.Barcanista: you are really a good fellow whom one can learn from, u gave me all the ammunition needed to counter most pdp lies to the point that I won many people over for Buhari..You later swing which I was very disappointed in but one thing we APC fans are forever grateful for the enlightenment..One things is for sure u know next to nothing about SW politics so when next u want to talk about about this region, just remember u are a shit on this.
2 FireFire: you are always objective though often laced with bias comment..so for this I say "u dey gbogbolocigar!
3 Anonimi: what can I say about this nuisance, just one name I have given u " Coloured printer"
4.Ichidodo: a deranged fellow who post crap and thinks crap...Always trying to look like someone with good brain but in the real sense he is just a 5yrs old kid begging for attention
5.Temitemi: this one is just a Robot as everyone can confirm..when he was design his brain was programmed with only few words "GEJ till shit".
6.Ngwakwe: he is an objective fellow but can sometimes take this Tribal ish too serious..
7.Clevermind: this one is as stupid as the irony of his name...No sense to process anything...he is just the prototype of Temitemi

Wish I can remember all ya monikers but I can't and to all progressives we are the new generation of change..Shout to Gbawe, berem, iyangbali, pendy79, cleverly, Aresa, demdem, ilungunboy, rilwayne001, Wisdomflakes, omenka, Passingshot, obiageli,Egift,LZRNH,Ilekeh,Caseless,Iphilips etc...you guys rock!...Our work is not done, we must finish it in lagos..Lagos won't be a consolation for PDP...this is victory for Democracy...To all the Pro GEJ no hard feelings am just so Happy..

ShySteady:
Buhari is busy winning on Nairaland while Jega and his staff are busy collating election results from all the polling centres around the country.
Buhari should start getting ready to write his victory speech on Nairaland while the rest of the world celebrate the victory of President Jonathan.
Until Prof. Jega officially announces the results, my humble President is going back to Aso Rock for another four years.

hahahahaah....I can hear ur heart beat like the drummer at a crusade ground...just say the truth u are "Fearing"...lol

chuna1985:
I see classic self deception. I see a man that tied blindfold on his eye. AMERICA IS THE 3RD LARGEST PRODUCER OF CRUDE OIL, BEHIND RUSSIA AND SAUDI.

Is not a case of classic deceit, it is ignorance on my part...Never knew they produce oil too due to the fact they import crude oil..Thanks I just google it now..They are actually at No.1 presently when u include natural gas....Though I still stand on my point that we shudn't have to borrow to finance our budget considering fews yrs ago how much we made from excess sales of crude oil...Thanks once again for the enlightenment

chronique:
Yes,America has oil. Their oil reserves is more than ours. Their's is called shale oil,and it's currently cheaper than crude oil. They have actually cut down their oil imports from around the world,and have stopped buying Nigeria's crude oil. The production of shale oil in America,has affected the price of crude oil in the international market. Hence,the drop in price of a barrel of crude oil. Saudi Arabia,a member of OPEC,aint even helping matters by increasing pump output. This altogether makes the supply of crude in the market excess as compared to demand. Member countries of Opec,have been calling for a reduction in barrels produced daily so as to stabilize price but the Saudi's aren't in support of it. There's a lot of politicking going on in the oil market. If the price of oil would go up,Nigeria would be used as a scapegoat in achieving that. If Buhari wins and the militants decide to shut down oil production,price of a barrel of oil is definitely going to climb up back. It's an indirect way of cutting output from Opec. The election in Nigeria this year,is important to the international world. A post election crisis that affects our oil output,would be of immense benefit to other countries.

Am not talking about Oil they have saved for rainy days and not oil generated by other means, I mean like crude oil which can exported and Sold to other countries...So when he said they have oil he made it look like they have oil like oil producing country and market it too...I know the oil America has in reserve can serve them for the next 100yrs..I know America has find other minds to produce oil rather than continue to import crude oil.

chuna1985:
Nigeria economy has been in shambles even before GEJ became a governor in Nigeria so that's not a point. Point of correction,America have much more oil than Nigeria too. They also have a massive debt problem + unemployment that is officially about 6% which many American economists says it's whey beyond that.

wen an economy is in shambles, government borrow money and it's normal. some countries even owe 700% of their GDP

This is Classic!...Never knew America has Oil oo....Hahahahahah...Guy kwantinue..No point arguing with u again oo...lol

chuna1985:
Did we not utilize the money we have been borrowing? or did ur local government share it for u people in d village ?

hahahha...no point arguing again...Nigeria is the best country in Africa

Joe82834:
Though am a supporter of Jonathan I love ur comment.just made ur points without throwing insults here and there

Thanks buddy!
