As a people, let us be optimistic for once. He will deliver.

Removing Aondoaka is his first successful delivery.

His characteristics are positive - not sick, well educated, experienced, responsible parent/husband and he will not rely 100% on advisers.

All Nigerians must be ready to support him. How?

- Let us quit corruption.
- Let us support him with our conscience and whole heart.
- Let us help each other with open mind and with no strings attached.

If all these happen, Nigeria will develop by force before next election.

@sayso,

sayso:
I love this post cause am in it,the two kids are driving us mad,we cannot remember our wedding date anymore cause of daycare/nursery dates with kids of other parents and one has to maintain the financial side of the house,screen saver has saved alot,at least I look at her and the kids all day through my phone and sometimes when I call to talk to her in an intimate way the kids will start crying,mummy mummy.It is really had but to God be the Glory.

Do you know that there are married couples wanting to hear the cry of their own baby for many years without any success?

Would you consider giving your children away for permanent adoption to enable you have time to enjoy your life with your wife?

@Pafun,

It is not all Nigerians in the UK that are doing shit jobs.

I accept that some Nigerians are not doing the jobs they would really like to do but, at least, they have a job and they are taking care of themselves and family.

Some Nigerians are in good professional jobs, especially those who studied and completed their course in the UK. I know many Nigerians in the UK who are: Solicitors, Barristers, IT Consultant, Doctor, Nurse, Midwife, Civil Servant, Social Workers, etc.

There are still jobs in the UK. But there are less jobs now compared to the time before the recession.

@Poster,

Have you considered a time with your spouse at the beach? You could just run around like children or play beach volley ball. You must be ready to be active together.

If you are not close to a beach, get ready to travel to it. The beach can relief a lot of stress. Try it.

INEC has failed to maintain a good electoral register. Just imagine the number of eligible voters who did not appear in the electoral roll.

This is the evidence of what we will get in 2011 election.

INEC is bad news.

Anambra election: Contestants react to result •Soludo congratulates Obi •Result unacceptable –Ngige •I rest my case with God – Ekwunife

Written by Sam Nwaoko and Leon Usigbe, Awka

CANDIDATES in the governorship election held in Anambra State, on Saturday, have reacted to the result declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state.

In their various reactions, Professor Chukwuma Soludo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); Dr Chris Ngige of the Action Congress (AC) and Chief (Mrs) Uche Ekwunife lamented the inability of their supporters to cast their votes in the election, saying this largely contributed to the result the electoral body declared.

In a press conferences in Awka, the state capital, Professor Soludo said “I congratulate my brother, Peter Obi. In spite of the great flaws, INEC has declared you winner. You will have my support. The struggle is not about us but it is about a better Anambra State.”

Soludo said the election meant that “we have to work extremely hard to fix the electoral system,” adding that voters register had become a new way of rigging elections.

Ngige, while addressing journalists, said the AC would not accept the outcome of the election, adding that his party would come out with a position on the election soon.

He said a situation whereby over 80 per cent of the eligible voters in the state were disenfranchised was not acceptable and heaped the blame on the electoral commission, saying that it was working in concert with the government of Governor Obi.

He alleged that most of the agents of the AC in the election were arrested on various flimsy charges by the police on or before the election day, adding it was a grand design to ensure that his supporters did not vote.

In a release she signed and made available to journalists in the state, the candidate of the PPA, Mrs Ekwunife, said she would not challenge the result of the election in court, adding that “I rest my case with God, the final arbiter.”

She said there was no gainsaying that the result did not reflect the true expression of the wishes of the people of Anambra State.

This is another failure in Nigerian politics. What hope have we in 2011?

@Poster,

The novelty of being boyfriend and girlfriend will surely wear out. The novelty of being married never wears out if you both work towards oneness as God destined marriage.

As for children (whatever their ages), they are the blessings in the marriage. Many married people who do not have children are not happy, even with all other enjoyment.

Plan and organise your children around you and your spouse. That is one of the joy of marriage blessed with children. Remember that you are more matured now with more experience. Allow plenty of time for you and your spouse, very important.

The love of husband and wife is not like the love of parents and their children. Your spouse should be your soul mate and best friend.

Never let your love for your kids or job come between you and your spouse. Always make your spouse feel wanted.

Make time for both you and your spouse to do something that you both like and enjoy. If you like holiday, live the children with grandparents or good friends. If you cannot take a travel holiday, both of you can take a day off work  and take the children to school while both of you can do something you enjoy together. You may also plan something for your weekend for both of you alone.

Never let the novelty to wear off. Let no circumstances or situations or recession cause the novelty to wear off.

Think about all the things you did that made the novelty to blossom.

After thinking about them, put them into active service.

Where was Emeka Okoroji when eminent and responsible Nigerians protested all over the world against the troubles in Nigeria few weeks ago?

Emeka Okoroji has sold his birthright for a bowl of soup.

No sane human being in the whole of Nigeria will descend so low into protesting in support of a President who does not recognise his own national responsibility - the so called President left the country in confusion.

People like Emeka Okoroji should not be allowed to walk the soil in Nigeria. He is a disgrace to Nigerian youths.

The group, Future Nigerian Group, is being used by the hopeless agents against change in Nigeria.

Nigeria qualifies to be called a failed state. See definitions of a failed state:

This is beyond victory for womanhood.

Many Nigerian, male and female, drivers are attacked everyday by military elites using sirens. Also, ordinary helpless pedestrians are attacked using koboko, boots, etc. Enough is enough!

The judgment is a wake up. All branches of military and government should take note.

The following should take note:

Nigeria Navy
Nigeria Army
Nigeria Police Force
Nigeria Ports Authority
Nigeria Customs
Nigeria Immigration
ETC, ETC

The whole world is now taking notice of the troubles in Nigeria.

World leaders, eminent Nigerians and the international press are now taking notice of our trouble in Nigeria. Our leaders in Nigeria will begin to listen now. Read more here:

@Poster,

I fully agree with your findings. I have similar experience of hospitals in Benin city. The situation is nationwide.

It is unfortunate that some Nigerians do not want to agree with these failures among our Doctors and other health care professionals.

arkinses:
ahem! did i just read you say "never in the US"? The woman in this video died in the waiting room of the Kings County Hospital AMAZINGLY in the US (not the acronym of Soviet Union spelt backwards) and 45 minutes later, her corpse was still there. . . unattended to! So quit making it look like the healthcare system in Nigeria is Hell's Kitchen

At least in the USA, failures are few and far between. The US patients have redress when these failures happen. The reverse is the case in Nigeria.

Doctors, Nurses and other medical professionals in Nigeria are not properly trained in ethical standards and professionalism. As a result, many of them fail woefully when they come to the USA and UK to find jobs. They spend many years writing medical exams in the UK and USA before they are allowed to practice. That is a shame.

Why are many of our Nigerian politicians and elites running to USA, UK, Saudi Arabia, etc for their medical treatment? Nigerian medical system has collapsed already.

Let us call the spade a spade and let us stop deceiving ourselves.

Sam Milla:
What depends ?
It was a simple question.
All you need to do is say how often.
And he gave options to chose from up there.

Clear reason why we fail exams,

The question is simple but incomplete. If this was exam, many people would have failed already.

1. It is assumed that the partner is male or female in a loving relationship.
2. It is assumed that they are at different locations otherwise there is no need to 'call.'

As you can see, the location of the partner will determine whether you call and how often.

I hope the simple analogy above has clarified the reason for my previous post.

@Poster,

This depends where you are and where your partner is.

What if your partner is in Yemen or New Zealand or Japan or USA or Ikorodu or Abuja or Warri or Jos or Bauchi or Borno or Iraq or afghanistan war zone?

Shame
Madness
Out of order
Damaged beyond repair

These are the characteristics of leadership in Nigeria.

Woye77,

You are just 21. Who said you are ready for marriage?

Do not venture into a territory you know nothing about.

The lady is 26 and obviously older than you. What makes you think you can control a woman older than your big sister?

Before you think of marriage:
1. Go finish your school first and then start working.
2. Seek a woman your own age or younger.

There is no buts, just do it!

1forall:
Were you at the London protest last week?

Apart from taking part in the protest, I mobilised other people to take part.

That is my civic right.

Fear is not in my dictionary.

This is a welcomed action in Lagos.

About 3,000 people marched through Lagos on Thursday ,

Lagos has millions of Nigerians and only about 3,000 people marched in support of the Save Nigeria protest.

That is a very poor result for a populous state like Lagos. What a shame!

@be known
I dont get da point of # 1 if you aint married in da first place?

Some people use fasting as a cover for other more sinister plan. Check the following quote as the evidence:

DatNiggaAk:
i once wanted to get rid of a girlfriend of mine and i went celibate on her a.s.s.
i didn't touch her for over 3 months and she finally got the messages.
i initially started with the line that i have some fasting to do(God forgive me abeg)
and it took off from there,

@poster,

There is always a reason for any decision. Also, there are different types of celibacy:

1. Fasting celibacy as in some churches (temporary - one day or more depends)

2. Priesthood Celibacy as in the Catholic Church (permanently devoted to religious devotion)

3. Celibacy until marriage (no sex until marriage)

Bf/Gf should consider the points above.

Note:
1. If your bf/gf decides to abstain from sex until marriage, then respect their wish.
2. If your bf/gf decides to abstain from sex to join the Catholic Priesthood, then look for another relationship and move on with your life.
3. If your bf/gf decides to abstain from sex because of fasting, well, be careful. There is a hidden agenda.

@Poster,

A father who is temporarily absent from home for work purpose cannot be classified as an absentee dad. Do you expect a responsible dad to be present at home all the time?

A responsible dad can mentor his children from anywhere depending on the arrangement he has made for his family.

Work patterns differ from one dad to another in the present age. A dad who stays at home all the time could be classified as a loafer, unless he is working from home.

A hardworking and responsible dad will pass on the traits to his children, whether he is at home or not.

Physical presence at home does not make a dad a good mentor.

This question is not clear because an absentee Dad can take different forms in the modern day:

1. Temporarily absentee Dad who is out to fetch food for the home, cares for his family and pay the bills.

2. A permanently absentee Dad as a result of divorce but provide care for his children through legally agreed arrangement.

3. A permanently absentee Dad who has ran away.

4. A permanently absentee Dad who only donated sperm to facilitate pregnancy.

Etc, Etc.

Please be specific about the absentee Dad.

This is the evidence that there is no value system in Nigeria.

Corruption has taken over the value system in Nigeria.

This is one of the reason Nigeria has failed as a country.

Professor Okolo exposed his naivety, ignorance and illiteracy. He failed to understand the failure in class systems around the world. He is one of the generations of leaders in Nigeria today who have failed woefully. People like Prof Okolo are educated illiterates in our society today. They have nothing good to offer, yet they are in leadership.

Poor or rich, we are all Nigerians. UNN was not made for the rich alone.

University of Nigeria, Nsukka is a Nigerian university unless Professor Okolo want everyone to understand and believe otherwise.

@Poster,

What is the state of the land now?

What will buyers get from you for the price?

The answer is NO.

Read the Bible and understand it yourself:
http://www.biblegateway.com/

Plat, its only the seasonal flu. It will be gone in a tick. God has healed you.

Just get well and get back soon.

There are many good advice here from many people.

Accept it and be ready to work hard to reach greater height. Aim to move forward in the same job or another one.

If you have entrepreneurship vision, you can also explore some private work depending on your skills, experience and hobbies.

The sky can be your limit.

Every Christian in Nigeria must praise the effort of Pastor Bakare in the protest in Abuja. Many other Pastors are afraid.

The Bible clearly show that faith without work is dead.

Christians have prayed and fasted. Praying and fasting are good but there is more that Christians can do. It is time to do some practical work. If people fail to do some simple things for themselves to help civilisation, God is not to blame.

There is no need to fast and pray to attend a protest rally. It is the civic right of every Nigerian.

My people let the protest go ahead.

Lagos residents time to show your support. Some Abuja residents have shown their support. Diaspora Nigerians have shown their support in Central London protest:
