brother,there is nothing like love.we have compatibility; 'love' is when both partners feel they are compatible,in op's case,the woman didnt feel compatible with the man.love is fake; no human is perfect match for another human.

Well, bruv I still believe in love. I am not naive to believe in "Mills & Boon" kind of love but there is love. Not the infatuation type but one that grows over time between people. A couple need not be compatible ab initio BUT have to be complementary. Able to make reasonable adjustments and compromises along the way. They enhance the strengths of each other.

DrObiHogan:
Once you're picking a wife as a Nigerian it's better u prepare your mind for this kind of eventualities. No matter how unpredictable and unprecedented the eventualities may be, just bear in mind that for every Nigerian girl, there are 80% chances she's a prostitute and 16% chances she's a gold digger. Now the remaining 4% depends on how lucky u get but from the beginning, the odds are against you as a man.

Dude, I thought I was very pessimistic about 9ja ladies but you beat me hands down.

So a man can marry two women and his chances of getting a decent one is till under 10%. Chai!

I have long said here on NL that girls have long overtaken men in promiscuity stakes. Due to materialism and poverty.

GrabHisBalls:
Blame your brother. I thought most of you go by the mantra "Make money and you'll marry any woman of your choice?" the moral lesson in your story is that a lady could love your money and not love you. That was exactly what played out and crashed their marriage.

Secondly, his inability to invest. If he had invested part of his salary, he won't have had reasons to fight over 200k 'cause I am sure he was giving her more than that of which she never accounted for. She realized he wasn't doing so well, so her reason for the disrespect.

Well, the lady takes at least 50% of the blame. She has no principles or morals. A short guy suddenly became eligible when she needed him to fund her studies. What of "for better for worse" she swore in the presence of God and human beings? She could have dated him BUT not take the oath of marriage.

Not everybody is an investor and many such are still married happily. It's not uncommon for a lady to first make "nyanga" when toasted, giving various excuses. A man at times has to persist if you love a woman.

Lessons for me are: many will follow you for money, including friends of any gender. Expect anything from anybody when things do not go smoothly. Loyalty nowadays is very scarce commodity.

Why can't they just give everyone who needs prepaid meter one for transparency sake?

The rate is bad enough. Estimated bill is an outrageous layer of scam on top.

Fountainofyouth:
I do not understand again, the problem now is the price, are y'all saying it is better to fall for benz and iPhone than ice cream? Won't we still arrive at the same end which is falling?

You took it right out of my mouth.

Maybe falling for plenty cash means they can do more tithes, offerings and sow better seed.
Cos everyone is after own pocket.

Fact is there is too much poverty and unemployment in the land. Too many girls competing for too few gainfully employed or well to do men. Simple.

TOPCRUISE:
He should not complain when he or his family gets kidnapped. Since he was proud kidnapping people for slavery during his own time

Abi o. It is a trending business right now. The governor should caution that man parading as a king. Not worth it.

Rip.

GreenWhiteGreen:
$13B for that small thing? Would rather keep the money for my generation.

I fear o. People are poor in maths these days. Such payment from Nigeria will nearly liquidate Nigerian economy. They just quote figures anyhow.

mexix:
Please add education to the list....that sector is in near collapse...

Is there any sector that works in Nigeria? Is it health for example?

All sectors are comatose.

donbachi:
Meaning she will be robbing peter to pay paul.

To some extent and in some cases she's right. But her generalization is too lazy.

Fact is many girls multiple-date to afford the life they want.

If she has one rich married sugar daddy who majorly funds her lifestyle, she might hold on to a young guy or two. One for possible marriage and one as a plan B/back-up.

Most girls do it may not be entirely happy doing it, but no paddy for jungle.

princfred:
If you really believe this then don't complain when it's said that women have nothing to offer except their bodies.

Sad thing is lots of women (even some men) still have the wrong notion of what men need in a woman/marriage. Sure men have different tastes. But when push comes to shove long term, all realise the value of some "boring" attributes.

A serious guy is quite happy with a lady with average physical attributes. Provided she's supportive, understanding, shares one's dreams and gives one PEACE OF MIND.

What use is a lady with a fine face, big boobs, fat ass and porn star in bed but nags the living day light out of you? Always diametrically opposed to any plans to progress in life? She will just send you to the great beyond before your time.

Kabiyesi! K'ade pe lori, ki bata pe lese.

salford:
This woman is not from naija. She is a british woman from Hackney, London.

If she had won Olympic gold, they will not say "pim" about Nigeria.

Very bad.

Na wa.

Dude, help out of "church mind" to allow her do her courses.
But consider if she'd rescue you in a similar situation. Even if she won't you can still assist if you can afford it.

My approach would be to give her part of the money and say please find to complete it.

Remember that most people you assist will not even remember in a few years. Never mind in any way reciprocating.

Also ensure that emotional attachment or sexual attraction is NOT driving you to help.

armadeo:
I don't think uk gives automatic citizenship by birth again. Hence the weeping.

Meanwhile the name Ibori isnforever etched in the uk systems as an exconvict. Unless the pikjn go bear another name.

If you read my post carefully the citizenship does not derive from birth in UK. But the fact that Ibori is a UK citizen.

FYI being convicted abroad is a right of passage for Nigerian politicians. Whether for narcotics, fraud, legal practice offence and others in Atlanta, Chicago, Toronto, London, New York, etc.

Ibori and his ex-wife Nkoyo were convicted for shoplifting in UK in early 1990s. Also convicted for building materials theft in ABUJA after that.

Neither local nor international conviction can stop Nigerian politicians in our corrupt system. At most 10 years from now IBORI will be at the heart of a ruling political party. His boys like Ayiri are already in the ruling party.

Thing is the child will still get UK citizenship. Ibori has British passport they wanted both for their child. Ojukokoro.

jethro2:
There are buyers in the South East but I don't know them yet.
The starch contents is determined by the varieties of cassava one plant. TME 419 is one of the good varieties

Abeg I dey suspect this your TME 419 o. Nor be yahoo cassava be that so?

Bros Ngige, the kind dance go sweet pass if you dance am for New Yam festival in Tel Aviv, Israel.

PureFace1:
This is not good for Naija image

Abeg Nigeria has no image again o. Very hard carrying the passport. As soon as some get another passport they never use it again.

If not that most Nigerians excel in various fields even in difficult circumstances anywhere, it would have been terrible.

Thing is increasingly many young people want easy money. Because even the elders ask no questions where the kids made their money from. They are praised to high heavens.
It's a sorry situation.

trueking:
They are the same thing,

custard is pap that went to school.

Lol. Illitrate versus graduate.

Weyrey.

Mzee1Kahuna:
every-chieftaincy-title-in-this-Corn3-is-political

Nope, not true.

Some are by male primogeniture. From father to son since centuries.

Obviously kings have to commend or chastise politicians depending on performance. The freedom to do so depends how closely or not closely aligned politically to the rulers.

Primogeniture kings do not suddenly come kings, they prepare for it lifelong. They may better understand their relative political "neutrality" better. Oba of Benin for example.

Because Lucky Igbinedion (whose dad is palace chief by the way) messed up big time, people think the palace supports APC/Oshiomhole.

But it's not the case. It's about making any govt, past or present know if they have performed well or not.

King's have statutory govt allocation. It's peanuts by the way. Most modern kings have built wealth (business, high govt positions, high ranks in armed forces, etc) before becoming kings.

GMbuharii:
Somebody should please tell him to expand the cages or enclosure of the animals.....they need space to roam..

If you help fund him. No doubt a vet would know the need for space but Na money. He is doing what our political leaders should be doing.

czarina:
You see, I told you so ( )


Even now, if you're on the plateau you'll agree it's still cold. Can't remember the last time I walked barefoot inside or stayed indoors without a headwarmer.

Sometimes I even doubt if Accu Weather gets the correct temperature

How cold a particular temperature feels depends on several factors not just the number on the thermometer. Humidity, breeze/wind, altitude and others play a role. 20 degrees at Oluyole in Ibadan might feel much warmer than 20 degree Celcius in Central Jtown.

TheGiftedOne:
I was only pointing out a mere coincidence and cannot relate to your comments. I cant remember giving any negative connotation to it. so what's the fuss about?

Ah, there is a problem o ogbeni. Beeni, there is.

You're meant to be an azzlicker like the rest of them (in Jegede Shokoya of new masquerade voice).

You know we 9ja worship power and position. Because it usually comes with plenty money (looted of course).

Many dream of it. Some are quietly saying "Gawd pick my call" as we type.

RIP.

babeosisi:
I didn't know they now have football teams with males and females together

These are athletes. So expect some tom-boyish girls in football at this level.

Many you see daily with weave-on and heavy make up do not look anymore Feminine than these without those accessories.

vertueptime:
I tot min of women and social development / welfare was together, doest it cover humanitarian welfare? secondly dsnt secial duties cover disaster and unforseen circumstances?
Thirdly doesnt foreign affairs cover international affairs? this administration is really grossly incompetent and daft.

Intergovernmental affairs. Not international affairs.
The former involves liaising between three arms of govt I presume.

The others seem to be replication of duty as you already alluded to.

In any case the title itself may be irrelevant. The functions given matter more.

Removal of Energy portfolio just seem to echo the disappointment of people like me who eagerly looked forward to Fashola being made a super minister in 2015. And he was made it and widely supported by the public then.

Good reply.

Atiku biko, just leave am make he complete his 8 years make dem nor say Buhari for change Nigeria to paradise if allowed till 2023.

Baba nor get certificate. But our Northern people some enter unity school with entry exam result of Zero. At least Buhari enter school at all. And he dey even speak English a little.

Many Northern policemen and soldiers cannot even speak English or pidgin.

Rip.
