Nigerian political leaders are not just clueless, they are equally wicked! U've not paid a man his due & legitimate salary, but Mr Jibrin in House of Representatives has openly admitted to receiving a whopping 650 million naira illegal cash gift for doing nothing! His Oga, Yakubu Dogara received 1.5billion naira! Gbajabiamila received 1.5 billion naira too among other principal officers. All these monies were just shared among dem for doing absolutely nothing! It's not salary, or allowance! Our Commonwealth! Those who work hard don't get paid!!

Internally Displaced Persons in camps in Maiduguri, Borno state are presently protesting on the streets over lack of food, portable water and medical care. The IDPs claim that they are not been well fed and are constantly left hungry. They have barricaded most of the roads leading into Maiduguri, causing serious traffic gridlock.

When Federal Government plus State government can't feed IDPs who constitute a minute fraction of d total population of Nigeria, den I don't know wot is d hope of 180 million ppl at large

Seunwife:
and thats one of the reason behind unhappy marriage. If you are the type that dnt care romantically, you may lack happiness. Some men are duck! You annoy ur wife, she started frowning instead of you to approach her and appologize, you too start frowning, do you value ur marriage happiness? I av seen a situation where wife begs husband for kissing and love making, not that he is that active ,i can call him 1 minute man but still he doesnt comply always starving d wife . It is very important to be romantic

so u know he's 1-minute man? hmmm.mm....testing testing tested

chigoizie7:
That's because we are serious minded set of people.

And most times being romantic is seen as fooling or playing around things that ain't necessary.

serious ppl tend to be d academic. So dey are basically nerdy & don't have tym to practice "romance"

Seunwife:
Very very true:... Especially the responsible ones are not romantic at all

kikikikikikiki

I'm not looking for a perfect man,but one DAT will respect and love me .





Cos I know no one is 100% perfect

ur comment made my day

Caprigal:
A woman wants a man that can provide because it is the Primary duty of men to provide for families so she wants to be sure he can do that while they are dating

if he buys u "heaven & earth" during dating is an assurance dat he will provide for d family abi? nd wot if he poses to be what he is not. borrowing secretly to impress, u finally get married with pomp & pageantry, u move into his big mansion, he keeps borrowing to feed u & 2 months later, d original owner of d house walks in nd casala come bust. U now realise dat he only lives in a one room apartment & his monthly income is 20k. What do u make out of dat? TELL ME U WOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO DISCOVER BE4 U SAY 'I DO'.

@Nairaland broke dudes please feel free to vent and pour your frustrations on the thread because truth hurts.

As a lady what you have to deal with while dating a broke guy

1. Having to take public transport after seeing him. He can't drive you home cos no car.

2. The nicest date you've been on is at his house because when you two actually go out to fancy places you feel guilty about spending the little money he has.

3. No nice gifts, no random surprise presents to spoil you, he doesn't sporadically shower you with gifts.

4. The dudes shitty and embarrasing sense of style.

5. Him overcompensating by offering fake deep conversation and really really good sex.

6. He will also have the audacity to wonder why you are not madly, head over heels in love with his worthless ass. Hello? Why should you be? Men like submissive and obedient women while women like men that can protect and provide for them. Its biological and it isn't changing anytime soon so accept it and move on.

7. Prepare to hear him explain why its better to have your honeymoon in the comfort of your bedroom and not a fancy hotel or exotic country.

kikikikikikiki... who ask u? Besides u didn't state d crux of ur epistle. See frustration oooo...hahahahaha

Caprigal:
Let me be frank here and say its different if he is genuinely trying to come up and still does what he can to make you feel special but some dudes are just perpetual failures and try to make it seem like you are asking too much.

You are failing to understand that Nigeria is seriously STUCK!

Even God himself (let alone Jesus or Muhammed) cannot save you. Have you heard the saying "stuck between a rock and a hard place"? There is no policy that can change our current reality. That reality is we (170m people) produce nothing of value or worth and now we do not have enough international currency ($) to continue our mindless importation. The meagre output of our industries are not exportable. Oil has been fooling us for decade making us believe we are rich.

Once again no policy(ies) can change our current reality.
Buhari can only try, nobody can do it.

we aren't stuck. poor leadership per time is d reason we're where we are now!
The policies of d present administration from it's inception last year brought us to where we are. Specific areas include:- petroleum sector, exchange rate policy & TSA(a sudden full implementation of TSA for d records did more harm dan good).

Ok I will explain. The current policy of import restriction and profit repatriation is tough but vital to conserving our meagre foreign reserves (which means we are not going to IMF to borrow expensively) and forcing Nigerians to seek domestic alternatives and maybe reset our brain to production instead of consuming what others produce.

The increment of import duty to make imports more expensive whilst raising government revenue is another policy to help our country bear and survive the oil price collapse - our only source of dollar.

The government's money supply restriction (through CBN open market operations, banking cash ratio, the TSA etc) the government has saved the economy from hyper inflation and a more severe naira depreciation against major currencies.

The government of Nigeria unfortunately cannot adapt economic growth policies at this time because our industrial productive capacity is zero. We cannot have industrial production or export led growth because we just can't produce anything. Unfortunately should the government go for growth this will only encourage larger importation of consumer products and the eventual draining of reserves and the total collapse of naira and that will lead to outright starvation of our people. Nigerian people and the government are currently stuck and no policy can change the reality on ground. Except there is a miraculous increase in oil price which is very doubtful at the moment.

This government is doing the best it can at the moment.

let me ask u, all this defense u put up for d FGN, has the Minister of Finance talked about it or the CBN Governor or even the Minister of Information as a way of telling Nigerians wot dey are doing? If any of dem has, den share with me d link for verification. Have u heard about political communication before(a part of the theory of Structural-Functionalism?

Inflating import duty is a myopic economic policy decision. In d sense dat d price of PMS & the value of d exchange rate (which was literally damaged by d govt's initial stance not to allow d market forces determine d value of d naira relative to its pair) affect d cost of production (for items imported to produce things like Bournvita, juice,etc, in d country). For basic necessities such as d examples I've mentioned which average Nigerians patronize, it becomes a burden on dem. The rich will afford ANYTHING but for average Nigerians like civil servants whose salaries are meager or unpaid for sometime now, they bear d brunt because d producer will calculate into d cost of production d inflated import duty, d cost of PMS & cost of buying dollars used to import). The govt should be critical in its thoughts & use a gradualist approach to make sincere economic changes dat are ppl-centred.

u've missed d fundamental point. Import restriction presuppose dat many things still get imported. Now d question should be, "at what cost?"(naira/dollar value & its implication for cost of production & ultimately d price at which dos goods will be sold). In d same token, which int'l market will be willing to buy our products? The footwears being produced by the Aba boys, how many of it has d govt bought or encouraged its exportation. Hear dis, FOR EVERY THING WE IMPORT (from raw materials to finished goods) there is someone or a cabal somewhere(economic & political elites) benefiting from it. Dangote is a household name in Nigeria. Tell me what he produces dat is sold in d international market? We produce things but d question is, what has d govt done to create a market for dos tinz dat we produce abroad?

ibedun:
Many idiots are here talking about policy this policy that.

What freaking policy can an import dependent poor country with a weak currency put in place? Anybody who believed "the largest economy in Africa" nonsense sold to Nigerians by NOI must have their head examined.

Buhari and everybody in government must have realized the big sh-it hole GEJ and his cohorts have placed Nigeria. Buhari is afterall the president of a poor inconsequential country and the poor guy is doing all he can.

and I've simply asked dat U identify one economic policy of d present govt dat is intended to address d wrongs of d past?
As per GDP under GEJ, it was correct. Nd dat is because Economic Growth is not d same thing as Economic Development or GDP- per capita.
Pls mention one economic policy of dis govt dat is intended to address past mistakes.

simpleseyi:
Things are very hard in the country. Salaries are exhausted before the middle of the month. People are hungry and angry. The situation is pathetic. There is poverty in the land. When we had plenty, we forgot to save for the rainy days by diversifying our economy, now we are really suffering. But, I know that hard decisions will be taken by the current government, the masses will complain more bitterly, but in no distance future, between now and the end of 2017, Nigeria will rise again. We shall see the results of today's actions. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

can u mention just ONE policy decision dat dis govt has taken to right d wrong of d past?

Mathew 5: 32 :But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits ADULTERY. ...this part seems to be torn out of your bible. We christian and our hypocrisy in selecting bible verses that's suits us. Gods says he hates the death of sinners, does that stop him from killing them if they fail to repent?. "God hates Divorce" is a silly a petty argument when ones life is in danger and fidelity is involved. She will go straight to hell if the husband ends up killing her one day.

Mark 10:2-12, " 2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3 “What did Moses command you?” he replied. 4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.” 5 “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. 6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two will become one flesh.’So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” 10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.
11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
1Corinthians 7:10-11, " 10 And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife."

Matthew 5:32 - But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of FORNICATION, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
My question to u is in Matthew 5:32. what is FORNICATION?

divorce is not an option. God said in His word, "I hate divorce...". The marriage vow has to stand, "for better for worse...till death do us part". I'm only disagreeing with u from a Christian stand point
