All countries have greedy people.

Nigerians just don't hide it.

True that all countries have greedy people. That is why in saner countries the Government make anti-trust and other laws that prevent businesses from using their greed to harm the general populace. The anti-trust laws prevent forming of cabals and price fixing and prevent monopolies that are injurious to the society and common man.

But in Nigeria the reverse is the case. Government encourage price fixing, cabals and monopolies that harm the public as long as necessary Government officials benefit. Imagine Mele Kyari defending private marketers on spurious pricing?! These are the same marketers that claim loses but are unable to provide cost price because it is all about corruption.

Manura:
Emefiele is just bring shame to himself. He's going for a ticket he knows he can never win.

It is not even about bringing shame to himself. It is the fact that he is willing to destroy institutional integrity in pursuing his stupid ambition that is actually going nowhere. Now where would INEC keep Election Materials that would be safer than CBN and have the same nationwide reach?

And sadly Buhari who is supposed to do the needful and sack Emeifiele to retain the CBN integrity is likely to do nothing!

.

This one loud, Tinubu sef go follow them sign the form knowing fully well or not knowing he has inevitably accepted the choice of Buhari consensus Presidential candidate, and he can not challenge the decision in court since he signed the withdrawal form, that gave room to a Consensus candidate.
Adamu the APC Chairman came to destroy APC
APC is truly one CHANCE PARTY

I do not expect Tinubu or any of the serious candidates to sign the withdrawal form. It is better to go to court on the matter and see how APC can proceed with their primary with a subsisting court case and the stupid withdrawal form.

While the rest of the country sleeps in blissful unawareness, the RCCG has created and recreated unending circuits of symbolic, cultural, and political power in Nigeria.

The church already dominates the news media formation. The majority of media CEOs, editors, columnists, etc. in the Southwest are RCCG members. That was why the Vanguard could be prevailed upon to delete a factual story it published that the church thinks is injurious to Osinbajo’s political aspirations.

The entire banking sector has been RCCGified. Most bank CEOs and MDs down to cashiers and even cleaners are RCCG members.

“Which church do you attend?” is now a standard interview question, particularly in Yorubaland, by RCCG members who control the levers of power. Response to that question determines whether or not people get jobs. It has proved to be an effective, symbolically violent bludgeon to forcefully recruit for the church.

University administration in the Southwest has also been RCCGified. It’s now increasingly impossible to be a Vice Chancellor—or even a lecturer—if you’re not an RCCG member, at least in Yorubaland for now.

The NGO sector, likewise, is controlled by RCCG members, and they reproduce and sustain themselves through cult-like, religiously exclusive recruitment strategies.

With the blessing of Adeboye, Osinbajo is now successfully infiltrating traditional institutions in Yorubaland. Wherever an Oba dies and whenever he can, Osinbajo makes sure to manipulate kingmakers and governors to appoint an RCCG pastor, the controversy over the appointment of an RCCG pastor as Soun of Ogbomoso being the latest example.

All these false allegations without factual basis is simply annoying and demeaning of the status of a Professor in Journalism. Pastor Timothy Olaniyan goofed by his actions which he has come out to dissociate the RCCG from and take personal responsibility. But that is no basis for heaping false allegations and pointless extrapolations and insinuations on RCCG.

Maynman:
They sent a whole Canadian general to go kill people in Ukraine, sounds very convincing

He probably thinks nincompoop is another name for Nairalanders and he can dish out anything without second thoughts. He thinks Canadian Generals are cheap like Russian Generals where ten have already been slaughtered by the Ukrainians in a war of less than 3 months.

kenzysmith:
We Nigerian men are the biggest pretenders we will all form holy than thou just to deceive the gullible around us why we watch porn in our phones we come on line to bash women and girls on line but we can't stay for a month without looking for toto
If hypocrisy have a meaning I think we Nigeria mean is the clear definition

Pastor they pretend for public but dey beg in the secret

A genuine Christian Pastor is an agent of God. He may have his own personal challenges he is struggling with. That does not mean he should then allow the House and Presence of God to be desecrated by others in the conduct of his duties.

All you people trying to use thse stale hypocrisy arguments to allow evil to germinate and spread are nothing but agents of destruction. Hypocrisy is not the best but it is better to live in a world where there are hypocrites instead of people that have completely lost it and have no one to correct them. At least hypocrites still have a sense of what is right and wrong and are struggling with it in secret unlike people whose conscience and sense of right and wrong is completely dead.

Ehinjuola:
Hello NLanders,
I got caught up with something on my neck in my neighboood recently.

There's this woman (A) who bought a sewing machine from one woman (B) 9 years ago, suddenly woman B just came from nowhere to come and claim the sewing machine that she sold years back that she only use the machine as a collateral from woman A that she didn't sell it for her.

Now the issue is Woman A has sold the sewing Machine and also insisted that if truly woman's (B) use it as collateral for how many years now she would wish if Woman B paid her back with the interest on the money which the money is way much more than money for 100 sewing machines.

Now questions is, how will I go abt it cause I happened to be one of the landlords in my area( I guess I am the youngest) and we are called to come and judge over the matter.
1. Woman's A doesn't posses the receipt of the sewing machine and as already sold the sewing machine
2. Woman's B want the machine at any cost claiming she has the receipt with her and she will use it against woman's A in court ( If the judgement didn't suite her taste in landlord meeting)


Note: They've gone to police station around early February which they've told woman's A abt the important of receipt and also let it known to woman's B that collateral shouldn't be more than a year and after that the person you borrow something from might as well claim the ownership what you use as collateral (Don't know maybe there's any law backing it though)

Abeg let it gain more audience by pushing it to front page thanks.

Woman B has no case even though she has a receipt. In court she has the following huddles to cross if Woman A has a good lawyer:

1. Woman B has to prove the receipt is exactly for the machine that was sold and not another one. That means the receipt need to have serial number and model name on it that matches exactly with the machine that was sold. Unfortunately the machine that was sold is not available for cross checking and it is not a must for Woman A to provide the machine because in law, he who asserts must prove.

2. Woman B will have to prove she gave a machine to Woman A in the first place and it is not a gift. If there is no evidence to show Woman B gave any machine to Woman A, Woman A can simply keep shut and deny getting any machine from Woman B or claim she was gifted the machine by Woman B.

3. If Woman A claims she was gifted the machine by Woman B, Woman B will have to prove it is not a gift even if she has the receipt. There is what is called estoppel in law. If you gave someone a gift and then later want to say you want to reclaim it because you have the receipt, estoppel in law prevents you from doing that. Leaving an item with a person for 9 years without asking after it at all makes it easy for the person to claim it as a gift. Do you expect her to store in for FREE for all that period and also guard it from theft?

In summary, the receipt alone is not sufficient for Woman B to make her case. If there was indeed a loan and evidence of collateral, Woman B will still lose because of the long time. Even collateral have reasonable period before they can be disposed because the value depreciates. A wothless collateral is no more collateral but junk.

duro4chang:
But is it better than having side chicks.

Marrying a second, third or fourth wife nevers stops a man from getting side chicks. Particularly when adultery and lack of contentment got him the additional wives in the first instance.

dawnomike:
Yul is just stirring the troubled waters... He seems to be confused

When you go outside your marriage to get a side chick pregnant and she delivered a boy and you got married to her, that is not stirring troubled waters. You have already committed to the trouble for a lifetime.

OKOATA:
One thing I dislike so much about full time christians is that you will never reason in a rational way no matter what you say, you must always find a way to say things that suite you, if God told someone to marry a prostitute and he did, are you now contradicting God or opposing his decisions. Why don't you tear out the places that you don't like in your Bibles, tear the pages out, tear the old testament out because God says in the new testament that marriage with one woman is the best. Tear out the old testament where God didn't condemn David and Solomon. You lots always trying to revolve religion in everything and saying you know Gods mind. is there a difference in the God of old/new testament? Because for all I know God never change so how can you say you know Gods mind when God himself created man with millions of sperm and a woman one egg. Biologically you must know this thing in school right? So why are you now putting religion into everything. I'm a christian and I don't reason the way you do .

Thank you for referring to me as a full time Christian because Christianity is indeed a way of life and not a garment you wear for occasions.

You could clearly see the verses I quoted from the Bible which cover both Old and New Testament. Perhaps you can provide yours to support your claims rather than relying on millions of sperms reasoning. The reasonings of men do not work out the righteousness of God.

The mind of God on marriage is clear from the Bible and it is not me supposing to know. Jesus is the Son of God and believing in Him is what makes anyone a Christian. Jesus clearly stated in Matthew 19 that God made them male and female and a man would leave his parents and cleave to his wife and both become one. He echoes exactly what was reported in Genesis 2:24 at the creation of the woman. If you are not ready to follow Jesus you need not label yourself a Christian. At the end of Matthew 19 the position of Jesus was difficult even for his disciples who grumbled. But God is no respecter of men to bend to suit them.

If you want multiple wives go get them; Christianity is not easy. It is not everyone that calls Jesus that can carry their crosses and follow him. But don't try to mislead others that the Bible support your desires!!!

This Guy should know that there are some aspects of life he needs to go silent on... You don't go about contributing on different issues.

Leviticus 18:18
You shall not marry a woman in addition to her sister as a rival while she is alive, to uncover her unclothedness.

1 Corinthians 7:2
But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband

1 Timothy 3:2
An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

1kings 11:1-4

Reno is a son of the devil masquerading as a child of God. He became an advocate of polygamy after involving in extra- marital affairs that led to the birth of a baby and he was exposed by the media. When denial became difficult for him he started proclaiming that the Bible supports polygamy to suit his failings and weakness. Such a selfish person willing to twist the Word of God to his desires is dangerous and should be avoided.

OKOATA:
As long as King David, Solomon stories are in the Bible Polygamy is right, so you better shut your mouth and never you mock God. Always talking as if you know more than your creator, Are you the one that made the Bible? If the word of God which is the Holy Bible is against polygamy the story won't be in the Bible. why did God create man to have millions of sperm and woman to have one egg that could freeze when she enters menopause? It's because God created man to multiply and not stick to one woman but religion has eaten deep into your head that you can't use your sense anymore.

People who read the Bible the way you are portraying here are not Christians but people just looking for things in the Bible to validate their desires. Your mind is shown clearly when you start condemning religion and advocating senses.

God told Prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute for a reason. Now will you say because it is in the Bible you should marry prostitutes? In the same Bible you see Mosaic Laws and several ancillary laws from God but you are not concerned about obeying them, it is marrying multiple wives that catches your fancy.

The mind of God on marriage is clear as expressed in severally in the Bible including the following: Genesis 2:22-24, Matthew 19:4-6, Mark 10:6-9, Ephesians 5:32-33, 1 Timothy 3:2, 1 Timothy 3:12. Jesus himself confirmed it in Matthew as being one man and one woman.

Reno is not a genuine Christian but masquarding as one. It is not strrange he calls himself a Pastor because that title has already been bastardized by Africans. It may surprise you to know that his proclamations on Polygamy started after he was involved in an extra-marital affair that led to a baby and he was exposed in the media. When David was exposed of his sin, he repented but when Reno was exposed he began trying to use the Bible to support his actions. Such a person is very dangerous. Please beware of him and his self-serving theology!

One bale of US$100 is US$10,000. So for the amount involved, we are looking at around 8 bales in a big brown envelope. Now how easily can such get missing? What also is foreign currency doing there? Is it a market and is spending dollars locally encouraged? We need explanations.

Power corrupts

Democracy tends to decentralize power and prevents one individual wielding too much power.

Putin has wrangled his way to being a dictator in Russia and possibly life president. He continues to kill and silence opponents and opposition in the country. That is why he is able to go about engaging in a stupid war without anybody advising him of the repercussions he is now facing.

That stupid and ill-advised war has damaged Russia Military international reputation much more than any grandstanding can repair. He has been repeating this mantra of "we have dangerous weapon and we will respond in a way the world has never seen" for weeks now. Everyone just giving him the silent and amused look respect usually accorded a dangerous madman anyway.

A man wanted a male child so he choose to marry another woman!! More over its part of our culture to marry as many as we can take care of.. [b]Happiness should be Paramount in life not what people think or expect from you..[\b] Nobody holy pass!!? Congrats man!! May God bless and protect your family.. May God also give us the strength and courage to marry more than one too.. Amen!!

When you talked about happiness, you went on a selfish road to think only of the happiness of Yul the man and probably the lady he impregnated. So what of the happiness of the wife? That does not matter?

It is dangerous to judge the rightness of our actions based only on how it makes us happy. The thief is happy when he hits jackpot in your house but what about the victim? Learn to condemn whatnis wrong and stop being manipulative or making excuses.

MrBrownJay1:
some foolish people will scream rape out of every corner of their mouth, for no damn reason...
- so the babe couldnt scream RAPE while he was raping her inside church?
- so the babe could scream RAPE as soon as he was done?!
- so its only when the parents noticed the blood that she now remembered that she was raped abi?

IMHO the babe wasnt raped but because she is the duaghter of some big man in that church, the shame will have them pretend their daughter was raped... while konji got the better of her!

The OP should have posted the link to the earlier story for easier reference. Anyway, here it is:
https://www.nairaland.com/7094248/ogun-police-arrest-man-raping

The news reported according to the Police that the suspect has confessed to the crime. So where did the OP get his own side pf the story?

On the other hand, it is important to let you know that all you said on screaming and other things in an attempt to invalidate the rape allegation do not hold water. The lack of screaming is not evidence of consensual sex. Please get that right. Secondly, the presence of blood could mean evidence of struggle and injury which may support rape. It could also mean the lady was just disvirgined. So it cannot be simply brushed off as you think.

The defense offered by the suspect is watery and typical for people accussed of rape in such situations. It is clearly inadequate to exonerate him.

Why not. All Nigerian banks to start with? Stop being decived by the media. Twitter isn't bigger than many Nigerian companies. Its only backed by public funds from a robust stock exchange market system. Same as Facebook. The giants of Nigeria are arising. No cap mate

The Five Most Valuable Companies (Dangote Cement, BUA, MTN, Airtel and Nestle) on the Nigerian Stock Exchange combined have a value less than US$40 billion and that is almost 70% of the total value of the Stock Exchange comprising about 160 companies.

Five of Nigeria’s most valuable companies ended the month of October with a market valuation of N14.8 trillion ($36.1 billion) up from N14.4 trillion recorded in September 2021.

These companies are all quoted with their share price (Stocks) Worth Over One Trillion (SWOOT) naira in market value. The SWOOT as we call them at Nairametrics include the five most valuable companies in Nigeria, Nestle, BUA, MTN, Airtel and Dangote Cement.

These companies are so large that they also make up about 67.5% of the entire market capitalization of the stock exchange valued at N21.9 trillion. The Nigerian stock exchange has about 160 actively quoted stocks.

Polio in where Nigeria was declared polio free country in 2014.

Nigeria was declared free of Polio in the wild cases in 2014 but cases of vaccine-derived polio are still occurring.

One case of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) was reported in Katsina bringing the number of 2022 cases to 16. The number of 2021 cases remains 415.

Nigeria is classified by the International Health Regulations (IHR) as a state infected with cVDPV2 with potential risk of international spread. It is therefore subject to temporary recommendations as of February 2022.

The decision to shutdown the school was a hasty one without proper considerations. The incident was in Dubai and it is not one that endangers students in the schools to warrant closure for safety reasons. Moreover investigation was yet to commence into the matter. So I don't see why the shutdown and resulting punishment of all the students in the school.

SWATMan:
What kind of test do you recommend here. This is something that has been going on for sometime. How would a test reveal that the man had sex with his daughters?

Medical test to first establish that the girls have been having sex and doing so for sometime. With the close monitoring that the girls hated as teens, they might still be virgins and that would contradict their claims. Even if they were disvirgined there is a way it is medically determined that sex has been taking place for extended period. So the husband could really have been freed from all the allegations by medical test.

Furthermore a husband who could sleep with his daughters may infect them with STD. So from all angles, conducting medical examination was necessary.

She is a medical doctor but nowhere in her story did she have the girls medically tested to confirm if they were sexually active or not. She only believed what they said without proof.

Turkey is wise in their decision.

West is playing double faced game with Ukraine and sadly zelensky is playing into their hands all in the name of we need amunitions. Scores of Ukrainian has lost their lives on what can be followed thru diplomatically.

I guess you were one of the people that said along with Femi Adesina then that wasn't it better for some host communities to give up their ancestral lands and live rather than let the Fulani herders continue to kill them?

Was it the West playing a double face game when Russia annexed Crimea and subdued Chechnya? Was it the West that told Russia to renege on the Budapest Memorandum and betray Ukraine after having Ukraine give up its nuclear arsenal with a promise never to invade Ukriane?

Point of correction on historical claims. The first University in the world was established in Nalanda. Takshashila, in the northwest region of Bharat (India).

The University in Morocco is only referred to as the oldest continually operating University in the world and even that is subject to debate because it seemed it was only granted University status in 1956 by the Moroccan Government.

A Professor should get his facts right.

I'm telling you, Africans should be thankful that the Chinese and Russians were not able to get to Africa during the colonial era.

Their form of slavery would have been worst and longer serving.

Those who disagree should look up how they enslaved and are still trying to enslave their neighbouring countries

Well with the way some African countries are collecting loans and signing unguarded agreements with the Chinese, hope it would not come down to modern day slavery when they cannot meet up with their obligations to the Chinese.

All these epistles just to discredit this man..... Tinubu is going no where

Hatchet job. He even went as far as lying that the Vice President is constitutionally in charge of the Economy whereas the only constitutional role of the Vice President is being a spare tyre. Anyway, one can expect all that mudslinging from political opponents. It is their style in Nigeria.

Obalacam:
Would you have preferred she gets it from someone else? Try and see things from her own perspective too

The question I have to ask is this: When she was in Jos and her boyfriend the op was not around, how did she keep body together? Did she also buy and use intimacy gadgets then or she found another alternative?

She demands for sex and money too much? Hmm... Those two things are not a good combination my dear.

immortalcrown:

I said in my previous comment that she was probably in the relationship for material and sexual benefits. Otherwise, why did she date a highly abusive man for more than a year? Are there no men she dated for less than a year? Why didn't she give those ones more than a year to see if they would change?

Fools who reason with their anus attacked me. Now, the man says she terminated pregnancies many times and squandered his money.

It is surprising that despite all the man wrote about the lady and the clear red flags, he was still willing to go ahead and marry her. Was he under juju or there are still other sides to the stories that we are yet to know?
Somebody doesn't want children outside wedlock but is postponing wedding and terminating pregnancies? Something is wrong somewhere.

Okay. Next...

Leaving him is a good choice because a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage. Good luck in your marriage. But the problem is most humans, especially women, are insatiable. You have left him. If he gets another woman or gets richer, you will begin to regret leaving him.

I like the fact that you publicized this. If you mess up in your marriage, your marriage will remember this publicity and do what will vindicate the man you accuse now.

Being unmarried and being alive is better than being married but dead!

You should have ended your comment on the fourth line with the full stop after the "broken marriage". Going further exposes a terrible mindset that worships money and believes money cures all ills.

It is unfortunate that not only are you not wishing the lady well in the future but also trying to sympathize subtly with a "wife beater" and a "beast of a man". What kind of human being are you? How can you be such a misogynist to say someone you don't know is not only insatiable but would regret if her tormentor becomes rich? So you would allow a billionaire to kill your daughter in matriage all because he is rich? Some of you hiding behind keyboards on this nairaland forum genuinely need psychiatric help.

Viraltrends123:
People always trying to draw their own down in this country, from hatred for dangote, saying he is fg made billionaire, to this guy. some of American billionaires admit they sold cocaine to be where they are today, Jeff bezos, Amazon CEO also received massive support from US government, We saw how US stop hauwaii and xiomi from gaining dominance, they made sure Apple reigns despite the bad history of their board of directors, they are more interested in what the company will big to the nation, US is by far the country with the most billionaires. And they are ready to do create more, and not spoil the little the have.

In Nigeria, our Aba made product was gaining dominance small small, not until we Nigerians we localized it, any small things that is fake we call it Aba made, here in Nigeria we never complained when companies like indomie, that french blue carton sugar, honeywell cheese balls owned by white people were gaining dominance, but when dangote started his own, his cements, sugar, that's when we remember what Monopoly is, many people would have become billionaires in this country, custom officials have ruined their careers, custom officers are Nigerians ooo. Here we tackle evil people around us than those outside. What a wrong country to be in.

Please stop supporting corruption, criminal and unethical conduct with your manipulative arguments. Let us all rise up and condemn corruption in all its forms and manifestations. No country ever became wealthy riding on corruption.

Your statement that some US billionaires admitted to drug dealings and criminal behaviour as the foundation of their wealth is false and misleading. No US billionaire will do that because the Civil Forfeiture procedure in the US ensures that assets suspected to be from criminal activity and drugs dealing are forfeited to the Government without the need for criminal proceedings against anyone.

The people who condemn Aba made as inferior products are also the same that have made Chinese products synonymous with low quality. But has China lost market because of that? No. The same people still buy from China. But you don't expect us to pay a premium for inferior quality because it is locally made. If it is not good enough, aim to be better instead of whipping up sentiments.

The US Government never supports corruption among US companies and executive and there are several examples to show that. Enron, Schlumberger, Exxon Mobil, Chevron and various big US companies have paid heavily for corruption and unethical conduct that didn't even happen on US soil. So what are you saying?

Call a spade a spade. Nigeria would not be better by promoting and defending criminal and unethical conduct among business people and entrepreneurs. Your write up as subtle as it is, is very parochial and selfish in advancing an agenda that only benefits a few at the expense of many. Which is one of the key reasons for us being in the mess we are in this country.

So you think it is good for GB to be engaged in sexual liasons with employees, screwing some out of their stock options, cheating others and engaging in other unethical conduct? If it is not a big deal why didn't he just come out and admit to it all and tell it to our face that it is not a big deal?

Companies based on fraudulent foundations never last. How did Enron with its unscrupulous executives end? How did Bernard Madoff end? Please stop making excuses for evil. No one likes it when you end up at the receiving end.
