snowpe: I have tried this suggestion of yours but she looks at those churches as though they are not practicing real Christianity,I will keep on talking to her til she changes or I will accept her like that.moreover the union is for better for worse
For better or for worse does not mean you shouldn't be happy when you can be. Repeat it again and keep at it. God bless your union and the efforts.
FamilyRe: by apolonius(m): 11:13am On Jul 17, 2014
I know how heavy your soul is because of failed self-defined expectations,but just calm down and note the following:

-the journey through life is a race alone.Yes,you are walking alone to your dreams and never competing with friends. That they started before you doesn't mean that you won't do better than them tomorrow.

-stop looking at particular directions. There are many universities that can easily offer you admissions. Let your JAMB choices be universities where the competition for your course of interest is not stiff and serious. Pick state universities in the Northern and Middle-Belt regions.

-If you are interested in UniAgric Makurdi,make it your choice when you write JAMB next and I can talk to my elder bro who is an influential prof there to guide you in. Also,the IBB university has a former dean and eminent lecturer presently there who is known to me. Once you pick either and meet the basic requirements I am happy to be of help to you.

-keep a clear vision of what you want to achieve and stay hungry for it,not hopeless. Thomas Edison,Abraham Lincoln,Steve Jobs and Henry Ford who are unrivaled achievers in the human world failed hundreds of times but stayed with a burning desire,not frustrated to suicide thinking,for their dreams and the world is better for their optimism in pursuit of visions.

-Stay hungry for what you want to achieve,purge yourself of those funny life-taking thoughts.

Cheating is such a silly response to what you are bewailing bro.

Take your time to show her hundreds of pastors and priests-so-called faith leaders-who do not joke with fashion.

Also,use the Mary of Magdala pouring perfume on Jesus' feet as a foundation to a sound theology of fashion and how Christ even appreciated it.

Listen to her reasons and give her hundreds of reasons including teachings by pastors like Myles Munroe and Dag-Edward Mills on the woman's beauty and fashion sense and its importance.

Then,finally educate her on the effect or impact of her new 'no fashion' spirituality isd begining to have on your union. These should get her to change.

Again,you can invite her to any of these churches were women come in high fashion- Living Faith,Christ Embassy,Worship Centre in Abuja,COZA and what have you. Women by their nature can't stop taking note of fashion in unusual places. She will be inspired to see what she is losing.smiley

Of course,good luck.

Babymama1: I read this again and felt very sad for you
It would destroy me emotionally to have my man compare me to another woman
I am not too happy about what you tell me about this guy
I doubt if I could ever love a man that tells me to my face that he married me for the spiritual
In other words he is not attracted whatsoever to me
I would feel 419ed,maggard,mugued,, deceived,conned ,used and abused

He needs to do the work to remedy this marriage not you because I don't know how to tell a woman to make a man love her when he never did and tells you that
He loves fair skinned women but married you?
Unbelievable!!
This is emotional abuse my dear
That man doesn't care a thing about you

He has said everything that needs to be said
He is not attracted to you
He Doesn't like being with you
Perhaps doesn't even like taking you out to be seen with you
There are other women out there he would rather you became like

Nne you are in the wrong marriage
Let me be blunt


This is why I strongly recommend courtship and hate long distance " courtships" too
Everywoman needs that period of discovery
Do not marry anyone without getting to know him closely

If I were you,I would open my eyes and find a man that loves me ,file for a divorce and leave him
I can never beg a man to love me
Never!!
Your advice is from a woman's perspective-emotional evaluation. Well,a man gives a rational analysis of her stated facts.

Most men are not raised in that culture of weighing their words and the emotional impact they have on women.So? The slightest frustration is enough to trigger such irresponsible and reckless talks-most of us men are guilty. Yet it does not mean that he doesn't love you.

No woman deserves to be disrespected by her man,however most men are not that emotionally intelligent to know that such uttered words are 'disrespectful to the woman they love. I am so sure that if you ask the man about the words he won't remember ever saying them.That is how the culture and environment we were raised has made us.

It takes some realization of how badly he has gone with his words for him to unlearn shooting them. In his own head,he is faithful to her,provides for her and all those,and so any words are just reactions to some other things that could have happened between them.

In those cool and happy moments,let her educate the man on how he is hurting her with all the stated and every sane man will adjust.

I agree the guy is being irresponsible,but given the stated,it is patience they need not separation or divorce.

jennykadry: If people want totest drive what is my business ni? I remember osisi and I disagreed slightly on this a few months ago, the only question I kept asking was "is the bible in support of it or not"...there is no big or small sin, so a virgin might have committed sins without her knowing and might not be as "clear" in the eyes of God than a test driver. David was a man after Gods heart although he got his own portion, Solomon was blessed with so much wisdom even with his straying pen!s. If people cannot afford to wait, it's their business to do tiro not do it... This race we run in life is an individual race , I am running my own race.

The bible said , marriage is honorable bed undefiled... My question a few months ago was why are we selective readers? We read what we wanno hear and toss the ones we don't want.
One of these practical pentecostal bishops,the Ghanian D-Edwards, gave a beautiful and practical sermon on the sex challenge among young people and concluded that,like a ready machine,once young people have developed and ripen sexual organs they should marry and use them. All through the Bible,the patriarchs,judges and leaders who related closely with God married early enough.

Sex is so so so important to the man especially. Test driving is something very many will insist on.
FamilyRe: Making Love & Raising A Family by apolonius(m): 12:07am On Jul 17, 2014
I am 100% against it. The only reason that I don't go on the offensive is that I understand human weakness. I meant my wedding night to be my first, but I didn't make it. I understand the temptation and the difficulty. But I will not go easy on anyone who tries to pass off sexxual promiscuity as something right and worthy of social acceptance. It is wrong and morally reprehensible. It is one of the three things that stands this world on its head today. So even though I'm always defending, I take no prisoners here.

And I wish Christians will stop this "to each his own" nonsense.
Nobody is championing an order of immorality. The naked essence of these points is a practical knowledge shared on the psychology of the average man. Now,a wise person picks this and tries to moderate it to her advantage. Coogar is in the majority I repeat.

I will want my daughter to marry a virgin,but I am man enough and understand men enough to know that she will need so much to manage their venom-yes,that is what a man who claims to love you will give when refused sex.

What can we do?Empower our kids and sisters with this knowledge to be watchful and careful enough to attract the very few who will be happy to stay 'zipped up' until the connubial tide.
FamilyRe: Making Love & Raising A Family by apolonius(m): 12:01am On Jul 17, 2014
coogar: his wife's refusal to fix her frigidity isn't going to solve the problems as well. how long can a man wait for before enjoying his marriage. he waited before marriage & he is being made to wait after his marriage?



men are not wired like women when it comes to sex. he's a married man for heaven's sake & he's still sëxually frustrated. how long should he wait for? he's exhausted with being made to look like a sex maniac.




that's a risk he will have to live with. big rewards come with big risks. grin



he is getting sex without having to ask for it all the time. the sëx keeps him safe. it means less argument in the house with his wife. he's less stressed & more focused. he can sleep easy at night without having to upset his wife with sex demands.



thank you!



for better for worse does not cover sex. sex is his conjugal rights. he's being denied his rights if the wife is too frigid. he has 2 options, leave the wife or seek sex outside the marriage. the latter is the easier route. if he leaves the wife the romantics would quickly bring out how much she's invested in the man.




that's exactly what she would do......
just because women are discreet about this does not mean they don't choose the easier route as well. while dayo's friend can reveal his infidelity openly, a woman in his shoes would not do the same. she will be secretly shägging her next door neighbour.



women are into infidelity too - they just don't get to be open about it like men. any man that is denying his wife sex should not be too surprised the woman is cheating outside. i have seen enough episodes on cheaters to know women cheat as much as men, if not more - they are just more careful about it.
The wise will listen to you and pick the deep lessons even if they disagree with you. But for those who are the easy victims of such hypocrisy-yes,because most men think and act like Coogar than you see in their comments-they won't.

You are being practical in ways that women should listen to you and guage their losses. No,they will disagree because you are not telling them the same things they love to hear that ruin so much for them. We are men,and most of us think essentially like you. Ride on.

Did you marry a virgin? Coogar is just being practical in ways that most ladies need to listen to him and learn even if they don't share in his philosophy of pleasure.

Women love lies a lot and,unfortunately,most men will not express their candid beliefs on here. But I tell you that Coogar represents the majority,not the minority he appears to be in thy eyes.smiley
FamilyRe: Making Love & Raising A Family by apolonius(m):
jennykadry: @Ihedinobi

You have proved yourself over the months so your intelligent posts do not surprise me. I have been following this thread but mostly as a guest and I tell ya, Coogar and Dayo's posts scared the hell out of me and I will tell you why...I was more scared for my daughters than I was for myself. I was seriously asking myself, will they find husbands to marry them if they decide no test driving before marriage? with many men on this forum rooting for testing driving, how many will be left for my children? Even my hubby does not even want to hear about test driving when it comes to his kids cos I have raised this topic up at home many times and he refuses to even "think" about it let alone talk about his daughters having sex before marriage ....his words were he would castrate any man that looked at his daughters and men are only allowed to look at them when they turn 25 grin.

I as a mother will push for abstinence till thy kingdom come, I don't want my daughters having sex before marriage. My mother used to tell us a story which we all thought was a lie until the second girl in the house was getting married and we met the woman behind the story for the first time.Her husband is a canadian/Nigerian, came back to Nigeria and met his wife in PH, they dated for a while before he proposed. He was in Nigeria for over 7 months before he travelled back. Sorted himself out in canada and decided to relocate to nigeria...They dated for about a year before he proposed. His wife was a not for test driving woman and he had experienced the pleasurable power of a nice kpekus many times. They got married and fast forward to a few years after marriage no child. This man's family showed her hell, from his sisters claiming they know someone that knows somebody that knows another somebody that confirmed that she was a runs girl in Uni PH. His own mother (he is an only son) was against the marriage from the start and had another girl she wanted him to marry before the guy met his wife..infact the guy was supposed to travel from PH to owerri to see the girl his mother "suggested" to him before he met his wife that week.

My mum said the man came to the house one day in tears and told them that his family was driving him crazy, they were telling him to choose between his mum and his wife, he is an only son and could not afford to forget his mother. My big mouthed mum asked him if he believed all they told him about his wife and he told her nope, how could his wife had done all that they are accusing her of when he was the first man that ever knew his wife... shocked. The man decided that he was returning to canada with his wife and made all the arrangements without his own family knowing about it, they travelled to canada and after a week he called his family and broke the news of their departure to them grin .It took this woman 9 solid years after her wedding to conceive.

When my mum used to tell us the story we all thought it was made up because that woman will say anything to make you see reasons with her when it comes to abstinence..but when the second girl in my house was getting married, this woman travelled down to Nigeria from Canada and attended both the traditional and white wedding

I am sorry post is quite long, I haven't typed this long epistles in forever...but I had to share this
Some men will be happy with 'no test driving' if they truly want to marry your daughters-of course,some in this group will be having it elsewhere while waiting for the 'I do' feast. But most men will settle for test driving.

By the way,99 percent of adult men even the so-called born again ones will ask for sex and begin acting up if denied.

Yes,for the adult male sex is a need. Check what completed Adam at creation. Read up Myles Munroe's The Purpose and Power of Love and Marriage,The purpose and Power of the Men. He has some beautiful theology of sex as a need for the adult male.

PocketEconomist: Just a question on this test driving stuff, so after the test drive maybe once or twice, and you were not impressed that much, what next? If you dump her based on that grounds alone, does that show true love? How about working it out?
One fundamental need of a man is sex.It is in his essence and God-given;for a woman it is affection-it can take several forms.Yes,you lose a man without sex or a capacity to assure his enjoyment of it.

Every other thing na grammar.

You fall in love and marry,but it takes more than love to stay married. It takes more than love to endure the trials of marriage in order to enjoy its triumphs!smiley
FamilyRe: Making Love & Raising A Family by apolonius(m):
PocketEconomist: A man without a definite plan for the future is not ready for marriage, if you ask him this question, and he is stammering incoherent words, that's a red flag. A man who does not put your needs and opinions into consideration? That's another sign that he is selfish. Watch out! If your man is too possessive, always wanting to know your every move and whereabouts, that's another red flag. Abeg make una no crucify me o! This is not absolute, Na my opinion as a mam o! I've bled enough on this thread.
What were you thinking on that point of being possessive and wanting to know her movement? So wrong on many grounds!

You mean if I am checking on my babe to know where she is,what she is doing,how far she will be away and all of those I am being possessive? In the world of reasonable adults we call it care and responsible 'sentrying'-protection. So you leave your babe to do what she likes,go wherever she wants and stay wherever she wants even when she may not be safe,fine or even alive?smiley

My woman calls to check on me every now and then to be sure I am fine.This could manifest in wanting to know where I am,what I am doing and all those. That is not a red flag except in the eyes of idealistic teenagers.

And,by the way,your recital of that litany of your cousin's oddities on here is wrong and so unnecessary. It is their life,if your love your cousin and care that much,share your thoughts,concerns and ideas for a better and progressive life with them.

Babymama1: Keeping friends of the opposite sex

Many men are very uncomfortable with this,I know mine was and I can't say he is too thrilled about it now but I know he trusts my judgements.
men think it's too dangerous and I have actually heard men say that a man cannot be friends with a woman without wanting something from her.
I believe it is possible to have male friends with no strings attached but if your spouse is uncomfortable with it,it would be wise to curtail the communication.
It's hard for me to say cut it off completely because I value friendship and I have good male friends
Don't talk with them daily or even monthly but just people that will call and say hi once in a while ,how have u been doing,longest time
Infact the first time my husband invited me over to his house,I had told a dearest friend of mine a guy about it and he warned me not to go grin
He said,"you and I know what he wants ,don't put yourself in that position"
He was watching out for me as his Christian sister
I promised him I wouldn't go grin
I lied grin
Many years later we spoke and he got to know I married the man he warned me about
grin

What are your opinion people about having friends of the opposite sex , ladies and gents?
The truth is the psychology of the average man will always seek to convert friendship into what accommodates lust at one point or the other.100 percent of the men that I know will hate their women befriending men not out of distrust but for the truism that friendship will always be a vehicle for the man or men the woman relates with to desire her in an unplatonic sense even if unconfessed or not expressed.

We are men,and we know what our average friends and brothers are like. There sure are exceptions as there are to all things in life,yet that will be a very very tiny minority that are lost in the millions of us.

Women will always defend the innocence of such friendships as expected. Some will say "he has never shown me that he desires me" and all that thrash. Well,that he hasn't for years doesn't mean he is not interested. He may have lost his voice to uncertainty of your response or the circumstances have disallowed him. Try all your male friends and verify the truth of this truism.

By the way,some men will come here to react to this contribution as a generalization. Yet,if you know them personally,try to test the 'innocent friendship with a male' idea with their own girlfriends and you will see how they truly her.

A funny illustration of the desires of our 'innocent male' friends is this: babes,have you not noticed that your 'innocent male' friends always get uncomfortable when you are beginning a relationship with another man?lol

Outside my sisters and brothers' babes,I do not relate with people's girlfriends and wives. Because I know the consequences for their men.

Yes,no man likes his woman to have 'innocent male' friends!smiley
FamilyRe: Making Love & Raising A Family by apolonius(m):
Babymama1: Keeping yourself for your spouse only

I will talk from a woman's perspective and let the men speak for themselves.
There is no neon sign on a woman that tells men around to keep off just because she is married
Married women are still being chased by men
How does a woman keep herself from falling ?
My best friend says she loves black men because when they admire you,you know,they show it even without speaking a word.
I am certain there is no married woman on this thread who isn't being chased by men out there from time to time
Whatever your husband saw and fell for you,is still visible to other men
Could be your physical appearance,the way you carry yourself,your warmth,inner beauty,your confidence.


I was coming out of the grocery store last week and was looking around for my car when A deep baritone voice to my left said " you don't remember where you parked do you"?
I looked up and smiled and said yes,he proceeded to introduce himself and paid me a compliment he says " what an attractive woman you are"
I said well thank you
He says,do you belong to somebody
I said married,x years,he said well what a lucky man
I said,he must be
Take care then he says and we part ways

I respected him for backing off to respect his fellow man,others are not that easy

Another day I had met another man at a clothing store and his line was,are you married,I said yes, then he asked are you happy?
I said yes,very happy
He followed me around a while then disappeared

The worst I ever had was a man I met at the bank at my lunch time
He will not stop staring at me
He finished his business and waited for me to be done
While I walked out he followed me ,introduced himself,I said my first name,he continued walking with me and said his intent
I told him I was married and not interested
He told me he was married too
That we could have lunch since we both worked in the area,he was in suit so I guessed he worked in one of the businesses around there
Just innocent lunch he said
I said no thanks,he kept following me
I didn't want him to know where I worked so I became uncomfortable
I said " nice meeting you", he finally got the message and backed off


I told these stories to say that married women still get propositioned every single time,including old layers like myself grin
You have to wade them off
The husband therefore should give his wife everything she wants at home
Not just the SE.x, the emotional part especially because if you don't,believe me there are men out there to fill in those blank spaces
And women have that need to be fulfilled emotionally
Of course,such attractions and distractions are more for the man as he becomes more successful and ages with more resources.

It is about both parties realizing that fidelity is a core credo of their union and nothing that suggests it should be attempted or tolerated.

Love in the nuptial context is about making a choice and working hard to find a permanent fulfilment in it.

Yes,a couple must do all that is needed to keep each other fulfilled and filled!smiley

jennykadry: Why are some of yous against women who have decided to remain virgins until after marriage?
Nobody is against them,JK. Those who are determined to be virgins should attract virgins or those who are happy to wait till the 'I do' feast.

For an adult male,sex is a need. That he asks for it does not mean he doesn't love her. In the adult world,sex with consent is a highlight of a sincere and serious relationship.smiley

Just saying the fellow who gave that advice is chanting a theory that works for a tiny few.smiley

RomanceRe: Why Can't Nigerian Men Behave Themselves? by apolonius(m): 4:48pm On Jul 16, 2014
I am sure the op will be happy if I say British Nigerian girls are all mad and restless whores. Right?It is so damn right to experience one or two of over 10 million people and draw such a stupid conclusion about all of them?

Why were you even trying to 'be friendly' with him in the first place if you were out to exaggerate and uncharitable judge him and all his kinsmen?

While I am not informed enough to debate 'your facts' of your encounters with him,your post and the verdict it celebrates suggests that you are very very unreasonable if not frustrated with 'some unstated expectations' that Nigerian men here are not meeting.

The guys are not in the UK to live their lives to meet your disgusting philosophy of good behaviour. You and your army of angry female friends should go and find your 'fulfilment' with men who are lowly thinking and too cheap in rationality as your judgment shows you are.

We know some(a vibrant minority) of UK-born Naija guys and girls who live on drug sales,work as escorts,steal and stab,and are proud glorified whores,yet we respect the honour of very many who are doing well for themselves.

If the g-message is all about Christ,how then does going to church become a waste of time?

Well,try to verify the real truth about the grail-message faith he professes. Then ask yourself if you will be happy to join him in professing that faith or not. If you can't,then think about quitting.

This is because a man who says going to church is a waste of time will eventually stop you from going to church. It is true that Christianity is polluted in Nigeria,yet a belief such as his is occultic and dangerous.
CareerRe: How To Build 3 Years Work Experience In A Single Year As A Fresh Graduate by apolonius(m): 6:01pm On Jul 14, 2014
Krucifax: The issue of work experience is present in every country in the world. However there is a way round this. As a fresh graduate seeking work you can offer to do unpaid internships with a company no matter how big or small. Also remember on the C.V having 6 months experience at a company does not mean you had to be there Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. Your internship could be for a day or two in a week and it may be for half of the the day.You will then tailor your c.v to suit.

It's understandable that companies don't want novices as this slows down productivity and can be expensive if they decide to offer training. These are costs many businesses are not willing to incur. However a smart person who understands this can work it to their advantage.

When I graduated with my law degree here in London years ago I was feeling impressed with myself but by the time I had spent months getting rejected for everything from middle ranking to office administrator roles, I realised I had to go back to the drawing board as far as experience was concerned. And to God be the glory I am where I am today because of it. Good luck to you all.
There are some out here like you. Please share what you did so that everyone can pick a lesson or two.

Thanks as you do that.
TravelRe: Before Leaving Nigeria: Things You Must Know by apolonius(m): 9:07pm On Jul 13, 2014
esere826: 28 ) THE END?

I think I've largely exhausted what we need to know and do to improve our career in the UK, and would be officially rounding off. I need to concentrate on other things. Wow. THANK GOD FOR THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE

The whole experience reminds me of the story of the arabian or persian prince that had the habit of beheading his new brides after the first night. Many chicks tried stuff to keep him interested, pretty facees, dancing skills, rolling hips, bedmatics etc. None worked. This one girl came in and told an interesting story every night that never got finished. Well he was interested in getting to the end of the story, and had to have her for keeps.

In the book, "the richest man in babylon' Algamish confesses that 'an old tongue likes to wag'. (I no old o, jus speaking figuratively). I initially thought of writing a book on this, and maybe organising some seminars. But haven't got enough time presently, and society does change. I wouldn't want to store some information that would be useful now but probably less valuable in the future. This has therefore been a blessed oppurtunity for me.

Thanks to justwise, queensmith, salsera, hustla242, emysandy, eduson33, playboy19, jidewin life_style and osram for making important inputs and indulging me the space to spew it all out. Thanks also to all readers of the posts. And by the way, although I would like all 9jrians in the UK to read this post and use it effectively, the truth remains that this won't be the case. And anyways, if everyone one reads an actually practice what I've written, it would largely become worthless. the reason being that competitive advantage is only gained when there is information asymmetry. This knowledge kept me pushing on, despite my not having a larger audience which I would have preferred.

Hope this helps our friends and loved ones in pushing past the plastic ceilings that exists in UK careers.


Finally, I am also reminded of one of the stories in the '48 laws of power' of how everyone in a village drank from water that made everyone go crazy except a group of friends. The group of friends were now the ones considered as being crazy. One by one, the friends went off to drink the water and also became crazy (normal), untill the last one, He too abandoned is sanity and drank also; he became part of the new normal wink.

The crazy waters of NL beckons. I must drink and abandon this uptight role I placed on myself. ....Enjoy the normalcy of cursing and swearing, laughing and crying, ah ...............chasing and being chased




Where are the chicks? -whether yellow, black or white, theyr'e precious in my sight. Time to go atoasting cool


and by the way, 'u dey craze?' cheesy
This is a masterpiece and it captures the most explicit highlights of the UK and the pathways to its best opportunities and careers.

Any aspiring immigrant from any part of the non-European world that can read and apply 15 percent of all you have shared will go very far and be assured of a place at the top.

I hope you make it all into a book,The Immigrant Manifesto will be a great title I will suggest.

Of course,just beautiful in their own eyes!

tobtap: thanks bro...i noticed that school outside london are beta ranked and have better student experience...well am going for msc telecommunications or related engineering courses...please any insight
Well,schools within London are also highly ranked. UCL,King's College,Imperial College,Queen Mary,SOAS among others are all in London and the foremost schools within the UK too.

The Midlands has great schools actually. Check University of Leicester,University of Loughborough;then check University of Lancaster and the University of Manchester too.

If the ranking facts with all its politics appeal to you in the choice you want to make,then Google Guardian university ranking tables for 2014 alongside Times Higher education universities ranking 2014 then Complete University guide. Once you access the 2014 editions,check for the subject tables to see the leading schools in your course areas.

I can do these for you it is just that you need to learn such a useful research skill with the fore-going guidance.smiley

tobtap: dude...i have an offer from mdx and my most important concern is accommodation and can u pls give me ur candid opinion about the school and the social life cheesy
MDX is a good school,it is promising and progressive.The social life is a rich one;especially if you can start out in the university halls of residence and also key into the many social opportunities and events that the school organize.

If you have the money,stay in the halls.If you don't have the funds,then go for a single room in a shared house. Those are easy to have in Hendon. If you can,do reach out to anyone who is studying there to help you get that. Otherwise,ask the international office for private accommodation contact and links.
PoliticsRe: Jonathan Is Petty, Presidency Full Of Liars - El-rufai. by apolonius(m): 10:45am On Jul 02, 2014
Fools will ignore facts and the echoes of reason to be ugly clowns.

El-Rufai has raised some fundamental issues and spoken intelligently,bigots and morons will rather insult him than disagree with him intelligently.

If you ever wonder why Nigeria has become this failed,evil and comprehensively decayed state,just check the caliber of ignorant apes and rats that will rather insult those they hate than logically deconstruct their arguments. Imbeciles!
PoliticsRe: Senator Annie Okonkwo Dumps APC For Not Having Good Intentions For South-East by apolonius(m): 11:19am On Jul 01, 2014
Senator Okonkwo has always been in the PDP even though he has always called himself APC chair in the South East.

He lost his value in the APC when he allowed his fight for the control of the party's soul with Ngige to make him mobilize for the PDP candidate in the last governorship election against Ngige his own party man.

He also fought Ngige hard for the control of the party structures in the East during the last election and failed.

As usual,most Nigerians are very stupid and too dumb to remember these things and to remember that this same man has repeated told the whole Ndigbo that the APC is their best hope.

Most of those from the South-be it East of South-are always quick to condemn the APC even without looking at the specific circumstances of the departure of each of these opportunists and very corrupt politicians.

Of course,una don condemn APC tire,yet has Jonathan provided security amid very many dying daily?Has he created jobs for many of these emorons who are his senseless apologists even as pitiably unemployed as they are?Is Nigeria not worse than it has ever been under this clueless,visionless and incompetent guy?

One thing I have always known is that most of those who unreasonably critique the APC and these guys on premises of empty sentiments and ignorant bigotism do not even have voter's cards.

Let Jonathan lead Nigeria forever;your poverty status and hunger will remain worse if you don't get killed by the urchins and bastards killing our people everywhere soon!
