Very detailed and well explained. Most of their cars are targeted at the American, European and Asian market where they have good roads. We then import them to where we have mostly bad roads and then make matter worse by maintaining them with fake spare parts.

Until we have a Toyota, Honda or Nissan assembly plant in Africa with varients built and targeted specifically for the African market, this will continue to remain the case

There’s a Toyota plant in SA. Infact my friend has bought and currently uses a made in SA Toyota Corolla

Please, I need sincere advice because my mind is not at rest anymore. What started as a normal family visit has suddenly turned into something I never imagined in my life.
My wife and I went to her family house to discuss our forthcoming engagement and other marriage arrangements since she is already pregnant. The discussion took longer than expected, and before we knew it, it was already late in the evening. To make matters worse, rain started falling heavily, and getting transportation back home became very difficult.

I was outside in the rain, moving around and searching for a vehicle that could convey us and my uncle, who accompanied me, back home safely. Throughout that stressful moment, my wife didn’t even seem concerned. She stayed where she was without making any effort to assist or even show worry about the situation. Surprisingly, her mother later came out to meet me at the roadside, praying and hoping we would find a vehicle soon. Even her father’s younger brother joined me in searching for transportation.

After almost one hour, we finally got a cab. While we were inside the vehicle, my wife tried to start a conversation, but I was already upset and disappointed, so I kept quiet. After dropping my uncle close to his destination, we continued our journey home in silence.

At some point on the road, I finally spoke out in anger. I asked her why she behaved so unconcerned despite the fact that we came to her family house for something very important concerning our future together. Instead of calming things down, she became angry too and started saying hurtful words back at me.

As we were walking home, she suddenly said she wanted to ease herself by the roadside. Because I was still angry, I continued walking slowly ahead without paying much attention. After a few minutes, I looked back and realized she was no longer behind me.
I immediately returned to the exact spot where she said she wanted to ease herself, but I couldn’t find her anywhere.
Since that night, my wife has been missing for 4 days.

I have contacted her mother several times, but she told me not to report the matter to her father yet. According to her, she believes her daughter is safe and will eventually return home. But honestly, I’m becoming very suspicious and confused. Part of me feels she may know where my wife is hiding, but I can’t say for sure.

What keeps disturbing me the most is this: Where did my pregnant wife sleep that night? Who is she with? Is she safe? And why would she disappear without contacting anyone for 4 days?

Right now, I’m emotionally exhausted and scared. I truly love my wife despite our misunderstanding, and I never imagined something like this would happen over an argument.

Please, experienced married men and women on this forum, what should I do at this point? Should I involve her father and report this officially, or should I still keep waiting and hope she comes back on her own?

She is in her parents house

Saladdin:
His political career is completely finished. Na true SIMP this man be. This is what indecision cost him. He had to two options: fight to the finish or quietly do your "yes sir, yes sir" and complete your eight years. Political fights are all or nothing, you don't do half-measure.

Duncan Mighty's music career too is gone. He should forget any singing gig from the state government again. Doing useless praise singing for a weak man. You see how Wike pampers his praise singers, they most likely even followed him to Abuja singing Nye demba, Nye demba for him.

If you wanted to fight your godfather (which was a bad decision anyway), you ought to have gone for the jugular, but you went halfway and backtracked. A very foolish move!

That was weakness and Wike smelt it. Dem no dey us clear eyes fight for village square. Wike is a very formidable and powerful politician & godfather with a well-oiled machinery that can easily bring down this governor. He knows where and how to pull the strings. When Fubara knows he can't fight, he ought to have piped low, because those elders who crafted the quote that when you dine with the devil, you use a long spoon. They came to that painful realization after lots of hard knocks.

On the other hand, you Fubara had one of the largest and deepest war chest in Nigeria. For God's sake, only Lagos, Delta and maybe Kano comes close to what this man has when it comes to state fund. This singular reason plus Wike's ruthlessness gained the president's respect. Tinubu himself respects a ruthless person who is not afraid of showing it at any time.

You could have used that to compensate for your weaknesses and let money FLOW to the right places, surgically dismantle the machinery as swiftly as possible. And had he fought bravely, he clearly had the people's support and wherever he goes most Riverians will follow.

Create a state security apparatus, let the commanders be loyal to you and when election comes, release one long press statement on how those state-security officials need to be present in every polling unit. Then you buy permissible arms, tasers and handcuffs for them. FUND them well, cover every inch of the state that day, switch off your phone while the security outfit do their job. Then give a prior public announcement and firm instruction that whoever engages in malpractice would be arrested, locked up and tried. Then you clearly demonstrate it with the LG election. LOCK THEM UP and follow it up with a speedy court trial. The rest will be very scared to engage in any malpractice.

Follow this up by lobbying to get officials from two or three major countries to specifically come to Rivers to monitor the election! While at this, ensure you pay for sufficient media time in international broadcasting stations let it be aired, and make sure all your ex-Oga's shady files are with you, and have CC'ed the right quarters with copies of it.

While you do this, move to another party, fund it, sponsor candidates and make a public example of few people who fall out of line, then you would see as others will fall in line.

Then even if Wike won, with a big IF, it would have be a pyrrhic victory for him. But as it is now, the Emperor of Rivers has won and he will so deal with you on all fronts. Be grateful if you don't do jail time!

The fight wasn’t a fair one. Tinubu and the presidency descended into the arena. In the past the president has never meddled that’s why Wike could deal with Amaechi ( he even had Jonathan’s wife’s support). Buhari allowed jagaban deal with ambode but when fubara was suspended by Tinubu that tilted the balance in wike’s favour

These are some of the cancers eating away at the democracy of this Nation

Obviously you invest where you are sure that your money will be multiplied x1000

shortgun:
Omo, from what I am seeing in Rivers State currently on ground, Fubara is gone.
He's not coming back as governor.
The man is not a politician and should have no business with politics

Well he shouldn’t have fought Wike immediately. Maybe during his second tenure like Fashola did, either way he can hold his head high even if he leaves.

Sonnobax15:

This option A4 really exposed many of our politicians . Unlike when it used to be delegates.

Imagine those senators who decamped but failed to win the APC ticket. They'll definitely work against Tinubu.

Will it matter ? They are handicapped political orphans at the moment. They better save their money

This country will make you weep. May the innocent soul rest in peace

runningriot:
And the wise man might not watch the before drawing conclusion!

No need to watch his apology. I watched him prophesy initially. He has no excuse, if he claims to be a prophet, he should be held to the highest standards.

This is a party that is promising free and fair elections. When Amupitan is a card carrying member.

I give the man and lady big props. We all make mistakes, it is what we do upon realising our error that matters, they have chosen the honourable path. God bless them

Fake funky foool. This is a sign that this guy is a charlatan but people will ignore it and give excuses 30-40 years down the line, he’ll be full blown.

Well done NDLEA. They deserve death by hanging

A party that cannot conduct free and fair primaries, is promising us free and fair elections 😂

Story story, story

Once upon a time, time time

We wish them good luck, it’s Fubara’s case that I’m interested in

PDP leaders sound so silly and desperate trying to force GEJ to run.

zoedew:
Desmond Olusola Elliot's political mentor publicly disclosed that he told him to put out a public retraction of his membership of the anti-Obasa team. He did not do so. He claims he cannot remember when his political mentor told him to do so! Very cheap lie!!! Desmond should be publicly flogged but being so silly!

I agree with you

One thing I’ll give sowore is that he is bold 😂😂😂😂

See him telling el Rufai to enjoy his stay in prison small

You have addressed the issue, leave her be. Happy wife, happy home.

Omo this is massive. Congratulations to them. The funny thing is that he isn’t the first person to give birth to twins, the almighty used this as a means to set him up big time

At what cost? While we acknowledge the fact that 24hr electricity may not be cheap, still measures to make it accessible and affordable for all should be taken.

Tjra:
Stop making a fool of yourself Desmond. You have a year till the end of your tenure. Save as much as you can and leave the stage.

He can even go and lay before Femi mend fences. Then campaign vigorously for Hamzat he could be given something if he wins. This desperation is becoming disgraceful, goes to show he was clearly chosen and never has played the game of politics

See this guy acting so desperate. This must be nauseating to people who hold him in high esteem. The one thing that is clear is that your mentor gave you opportunities to retrace your steps but you chose to outshine your master.

Auntie you can never justify cheating for cheating. You could have left with your head held high.

He played and important role in the emergence of the administration. Who knew that while he was answering away questions at Chatham house one day he’ll be recounting those answers in detention by this same government?

Same way Chargoury brothers are running things in Nigeria

He said since he was a small boy. Maybe he was 15 then so add the 24 years Goje has been in power. Now tell me, is he still a small boy

You are making up scenarios.

Lifestone:
How small? 8 years as Governor, 16years as Senator, that is a total of 24years!

I only made a lighthearted comment about the small boy comment he made but if he’s 24, he is still a small boy

Oceanjagaban:
how much dey your account old man ?

Small boy 2k o. You fit help this old man
