PoliticsRe: Falana: Why Ngige, Other Ministers Can’t Withdraw Resignation by AreaFada2: 11:40am On May 14, 2022
seunmsg:
The question is, did they resign at anytime before the withdrawal of their political ambition?
Question should be: Did they submit a resignation letter to Buhari or SGF and did Buhari already accept their resignation?

If YES, they must be re-appointed by Buhari and confirmed by the senate. If cleared to return to the FEC, they must be sworn in to begin a third tenure as ministers. If Buhari just accepts their withdrawal and retain them in FEC, it would be ultra vires under the law. Meaning that Buhari would be exercising powers beyond what the law gives him. Effectively exercising power of legislature and executive at the same time.

Of course Buhari can claim that he was still pondering about accepting their resignation. Provided FG, through media aid, SGF or anyone officially speaking on behalf of Buhari/FG has not publicly communicated that Buhari has accepted their resignation.
RomanceRe: MC Narrates How A Bride Offered Him Sex by AreaFada2:
thejare:
that should be a very irresponsible bride
Unfortunately, it's not that rare o. Look, we are the men out there. We see things. As a woman, you can't be sure of what your female bestie could be secretly up to. Women don't divulge dirty secrets to fellow women mostly. No trust.

Shey na we have dated women who then moved on to marry other men. At times relationships end due to many reasons, not necessarily because of bad blood. Innocent communication continues. Just before wedding, many girls are ready to still do the thing if any talk goes in that direction.
Then again, around 3 to 5 years into the marriage, the whole thing may not pan out as they had hoped. Then some will be ready to play away.
So as a guy, expect these things and be VERY careful and disciplined.

At times you will be shocked by how little some women appreciate their hubby's good effort to care for his nuclear family. They complain to you a lot. At times because the hubby also provides for his relatives (siblings, mums, etc) and say he's spending too much on relatives. She wants more and more.

These things opened my eyes a lot. You just cannot satisfy some women no matter how much you try.

Bravo to good, grateful and supportive women out there.

NOI's hubby is a US based surgeon by the way. She belongs to a different generation of women too. No comparison.

A relative's wife went to read law and left him for another man going with most of her kids. My relative happily encouraged her to return to school and paid all her fees and school expenses. She begged to return years later but she was so so rejected by my relative. A friend's wife also went to read law and began messing about later. She left with the kids too. Seen too many of it. Of course some woman remain loyal but getting fewer and fewer these days.

OP, allow her do her master's degree. Since you are not going to fund it.

But be aware that since you won't fund her degree, another man probably will. So get ready to move on. In fact you are 95% single already. Good luck.

IamNat:
To think that anyone would ask GEJ to come back is just so surprising, I would rather vote for an Obi than for Jonathan to come back, to come and do what exactly?

The truth is, GEJ's government enjoyed the proceeds of oil, it wasn't as bad as it was during Buhari's time, which is largely the reason why Buhari failed. Buhari may not be the best, but GEJ is never the way out, this is a man that was widely rejected by the Nigerian people, it's the first of it's kind in history.

Please, make we talk better thing jare, GEJ ke, I'd rather queue behind Peter Obi.
See selective amnesia.
So you are not aware that when crude oil prices went up, subsidy paid on imported petrol also went up, frittering away whatever extra money made from higher crude prices? shocked shocked Is that how your voodoo economics works?

When GEJ wanted to remove subsidy, Buhari, bullion van lord and people like you said that there was no subsidy paid by the govt. Now Buhari govt is talking bout extra trillions of Naira to fund subsidy due to increased crude prices. shocked shocked

Bigotry and tribalism won't allow you people to be honest.

If the constitution allows GEJ to contest again, it is up to him. Whether he is the way in or way out, let him be. It is not your contest.

Gerrard59:
The bold piqued my interest because I am surprised there is a state in the north - core north - that has a Christian governor. Although, there are Christians in Borno but not to the level of producing a governor like their counterparts in Benue, Taraba and Plateau. Not even to the level of Gombe and Adamawa states that have produced Christian deputies since 1999.

According to him, ‘We at Muslim News resolved to appreciate the Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, a devout Muslim, with this prestigious award for his fierce stand against the nefarious and anti-Islamic activities of Boko Haram in Borno State; for ensuring important developmental actions in every nook and cranny of the state; and for his excellent service across all socio-economic strata in the state vis-a-vis the civil servants, market women, artisans, retirees and even soldiers on the warfront”.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/01/prof-zulum-emerges-muslimnews-personality-of-the-year-2019/
Well, you may be right. I have read in many publications that he is a Christian. Same way I have read in many others that Yakubu Dogara from Bauchi State is a Christian.
Although sometime last year or so, Zulum said that Boko Haram has all types of people as members. Including Muslims, Christians, Nigerians, foreigners, white people etc. CAN reacted strongly that there are no Christians in Boko Haram. I was wondering.

I guess one has to be careful about these things.

RoxyBrownAutos:
This might be northern agenda to continue in power through another party.PDP will field a northerner as presidential candidate, with the move to bring Jonathan by APC who is a southerner, APC may likely lose the election as northerners will prefer their people no matter the party affiliation.
But Northerners are strategic. They won't mind waiting for 4 years to get another 8 years turn. 4 years Southern presidency will give it a semblance of a fair North-South rotation. cheesy grin

If GEJ is selected, the only downside is that Zulum, a NE Christian will lose out as VP. Because we cannot have a Christian President and VP.

Many ambitious Northerners who cannot vie for VP or president now will prefer 4 years Southern presidency. Enough time for them to be ready.

Northern first and foremost interest is getting a Southerner they can trust to handover to the North again later. GEJ did so in 2015 and the North might reward him for it. They rewarded OBJ in 1999 for handing over to Shagari in 1979.

Southern politicians don't think that far back or ahead into the future but Northern elite do.

Ivimmanuel:
if his job is really to serve as a conciliator between the government and ASUU then he has not done good enough and should be blamed for the prolonged strike. You put up a defence with a body that believes it is all right knowing that these people have been wounded and it is in their right to have everything the are demanding, you don't bother much to look sincerely at the points these people have raised then what do you think he is going to say to the government reasonably to make make it agree to their terms and even implement anything? What then is he really conciliating? Ngige is quick to point at the failure in leader of the ASUU chairman by his inability to keep his lectures from going to strike but has failed to embrace his ineptitude in handling negotiations.
Don't you think that the minister of education, whose job it is to ensure that the education system runs smoothly should be pushing FG/finance ministry to honour agreement reached? Shouldn't FG get a minister of education who truly understands education system and how to work with lecturers?

Ngige has been doing all the work and talking.

But where is the minister of Education?

His silence on this issue is too loud.
9ia people don't care much about facts or knowing the role that each public officer plays.

Labour ministry doesn't control the money to pay ASUU people. Even if Ngige, with all his flaws, manages to mediate and reach an agreement, finance ministry and accountant-general need directives from Aso Rock to honour such an agreement.

Labour minister is one of the most difficult cabinet positions. People expect him to create jobs but he has no control over economic policy, monetary policy, commerce and industry. No control over infrastructure/electricity or other sectors vital to create an enabling environment for investment or economic growth that create jobs.

Your analysis/wishes portrays you as a very bitter soul. Jonathan can’t get the ticket if he joins the APC because he can not reap from where he didn’t sow - has no structures and not paid his dues within the party. Therefore, can’t be made the consensus candidate as widely speculated. Even if he joins, he would be defeated by the ordinary yeye bello at the primaries. However, Jonathan would be the most popular southerner if he decides to contest’s under the PDP but, he may still be disgraced at the primaries

Fact is, GEJ was already a president without scheming or telling lies about people. Young and not pooing or weeing on himself. grin cheesy

APC goons who lied and insulted GEJ to enter power and only to fail woefully are the happy souls? shocked

Bitter souls are you, your ilk, your fellow bigoted goons and you lot who who cannot tolerate minorities in power. Yet you rely on resources from minority areas.

So let GEJ lose, it is not your loss. Why take Panadol for his headache? grin cheesy

FYI, when Bubu won, I immediately adjusted myself, stopped planned investment, etc. Because I knew he will ruin the economy again like he did in 1983 before his boys kicked him out. So my loss was minimal. I have no reason to be sad.

But souls lost to boko, herdsmen, bandits and poverty/disease are definitely not happy with this government and those who foisted it on Nigerians. They haunt those who brought the disaster.

So Tinubu supported Jonathan in 2011 just when Yardua died but why didn't they continue the support in 2015? Was buhari better than a Southern candidate for the job then.

You then went ahead to say he sideline Yorubas yet he GEJ fought to make a Yoruba speaker of House of Representatives but Tinubu used his influence to support Tambuwal so that it will look like sideline...all this are in Akande book.

Please you people are betrayal and the north instead of supporting you guys for your betrayal they are still searching for candidate from the places you guys betray.

Just wait a while if APC don't give the tickets to the south south or south west they are going to loose
Because they thought that being gentle means stupidity. Cunning self-acclaimed sophisticated lot believe that others are not wise. They thought GEJ would do their bidding. Lifelong ambition man supported GEJ to protect his family oil and gas business and share of oil subsidy robbery.

He duped Ribadu into being ACN presidential candidate but worked against Ribadu and his own party to protect personal interest.
Is such a duplicitous individual the best to be Nigerian president? People mumu never do.

When GEJ dared to suggest oil subsidy removal (their daylight highway robbery business), they turned against him.

If Jonathan had been an average Afonja Muslim politician, he would have joined APC long ago just to clinch power.

I find it very funny SW are saying Jonathan will betray the south of he joins APC because he has just one term and it would be a shortchange to the whole South. Whereas the same SW betrayed the whole South when we had our opportunity. Now they are Jonathan as a betrayal.

I just hope Jonathan doesn't fall for APC northern trick, be shouldn't behave like a typical SW politician who betrays his brothers.
I would have seconded your opinion whole-heartedly about 2 to 4 years ago. And it's actually the decent thing to do.

But I now want GEJ to join APC and declare. Reason is that I don't want any desperados who betrayed GEJ and entire South, condemned his tough fight against Boko and organised paid protesters to oppose subsidy removal to now come and benefit. GEJ should come and ruin their selfish life-long ambition. Even if he doesn't win. If it means power staying in the North, let it be.

After all it is those with "life-long ambition", even if to the detriment of 9ja and the South who robbed South and took it to the North prematurely. GEJ can always return to PDP after that if he chooses. People who see being gentle as foolishness need to be shown pepper now and then. No mercy. Simple.

chymeze:
The video was posted 2 months before her wedding. Therefore, It's highly likely she was still dating or courting her husband when she cheated (assuming the time the video was uploaded was about the same time she had the sex). Because it's highly unlikely that someone would just meet you under 2 months and get married to you under that same 2 months. We've not even talked about the time for marriage counseling, marriage introduction, traditional wedding before church wedding. All these can hardly take place under 2 months nau.
Don't worry yourself explaining. What they will tell you here on NL, especially ladies and simps, will imply that women can sleep around whether before marriage, while engaged or when married.
That is what they want now.

Anyway, any guy who doesn't do paternity test on their kids is a super simp. Trust is too expensive a commodity to afford in the world we live in now.

BluntTheApostle:
The truth is that no one can ever be emotionally ready for marriage.

The reason why divorce rate is very low in Africa is not because our marriages are doing well. It is because someone or both spouses are tolerating each other for the sake of their children or society.

Even all these marriages that have supposedly lasted the test of time cannot be certainly said to be lasting because the marriage is great, or because both partners are emotionally strong.
It is like workplace. Hardly anyone loves his/her job 100% but most tolerate their overbearing boss to be able to pay their bills.

We all always find reasons to be resilient in the face of adversity.

Not necessarily. Lots of men are still happy to fund the union alone.

I believe that it is in the interest of women to contribute economically as much as they can to the household. They actually earn respect by doing so.

Any man ready to have a successful marriage cannot expect to work 9am-6pm just like his wife and yet won't help his wife slice even onions in the kitchen to make dinner. Assisting with house chores is not being woman wrapper. Especially if both are very busy with their work.

We already know that there are cases where the woman is the breadwinner after the hubby lost his job. But stories of wife disrespecting hubby seems to be fairly common in such cases. Are these stories true or the man's loss of economic control is also an issue? Probably both,
FamilyRe: Domestic Abuse: All The Women In These Pictures Are Dead! All Within 5 Months by AreaFada2: 2:11pm On Apr 15, 2022
My observation is that both young men and women are becoming more and more ill-prepared for marriage.

In life, nothing goes for nothing.

We are currently caught between conservative African norms and Western liberalism/permissiveness.

Men still want the tradition respect from the wife, while the women expect the traditional breadwinner role of the hubby and more Western freedom.

It is easy to say of course, we now live in 21st century, we must modernise. But obviously this modernisation is causing huge problems. So, it's proving more difficult than we think.

We therefore need a re-orientation regarding marriage, especially the youth.

People should marry only when they are emotionally, economically and otherwise ready. If couples are not compatible, please resist societal, familial or religious pressure to marry. It is not just by age.

Think even harder yet before you have kids.
