happney65: Soludo is saying the truth. But because most of us do not know the true situation of things we can blarb.
The truth of the matter is that if you want local government autonomy of whatever you call it,you have to change the constitution completely. Even the constitution says the LG is under the control of the state government.
Worldwide there is nowhere there is 3 federating units. It is always two. The Federal and state.
In a true federalism like it's practised in the US. The LG is under the control of the states. The US has over 80,000LG and states create LG as they wish.
Here in Nigeria,coupled with the fact that the money being given to the LG are not even enough to pay salaries and that is why the states created joint LG accounts to offset the bills of LG since 1999.
All states have been offsetting the bills of LG because even the money they collect isn't up to anything
Can you also tell us how stae governments do the right thing and are accountable, less corruption too since you want to me mad, must we do what the USA do ? USA is one of the most powerful countries in the world, why can't you copy that too. Enemies of nigeria
SlavaUkraini: Don't believe that cock and bull story....
The lady did not sleep with the husband's brother while they were married.
She was already 3 months pregnant before they did their traditional wedding...
Just take a good look at the face of the nigga, he looks very irresponsible and looking for a way to dodge his responsibility for the baby.
Nigerian girls should only open their Kpekus for responsible guys, if not issues like this will continue to happen.
You are a fool,why are you narrating the story as if you were there? You.just crucified the man without evidence. Before a man kills a woman he paid bride price for ,meaning the man is fully convinced of wjay the woman did
I don't see any benefit of marriage, than being under a man that you have to submit to all your life, live under his own detects, do everything to please him all because he's the man and he's providing, that's to me a total búlshit...I can provide for myself much more better than man. So go hang yourself somewhere else not in my place.
But if your boss asks you to jump, you will ask how high . If you pastor (sorry daddy ) asks you to kiss his feet ,you will say yes papa But a man that paid your bride price,gave you food ,gave you shelter and loving you is total bullshit . I blame the men giving people like you a chance to be loved . Foolish people
being: What's so special about court marriage? Are u planning to elope after the marriage nii? Court marriage is what gives the most legal backing and protection to the marriage and to the woman.. If she is really the one you want to marry, I don't see any issues with it doing it b4 the trad and white wedding
What gives protection to the man too?have you ever thought of that ? Because most times the woman comes in with nothing and can divorce you anytime
BeigJawnson: Yes they have every right to say that. The birthed their daughter...
If you love your wife, whole heartedly, do the registry... By then, she is now your wife completely, however you have taken the bull by the horn.
Maybe later in the future, they want their daughter to come visit them, it is you that will tell them the time for her to go see them or not.
Stupid men everywhere What do you mean by love wholeheartedly, those that continue yo divorce daily ,didn't they and they're wife love each other wholeheartedly? What do you mean by take the bull by the horn.are you betting against you ? Why should an African man be tamed against having a second wife ? If you bring g Him peace, why should he look outside ? What of the man's security if the woman starts misbehaving? Answer me ,what is the man's security if the woman starts misbehaving?
Confirmedzombie: My brother court marriage isn't bad. Most parents insist court marriage to protect their daughter in her husbands home.
Most men marry and tend to marry more wives.
But with court marriage you can't marry another wife except you divorce the earlier one.
Also husband families can be wicked. In the event their son dies, they tend to take everything their son has from the wife but with court marriage no such access.
If you truly love the girl, I advice you do the court wedding, nothing to fear here at all.
My major worry here is the decision of her parents to pick a date fir you. I sense they have a mission.
Nobody has the power to pick a date for you. Only you have the powers.
My advice, is that you involve your family in the court wedding issue.
Let your family stand by you that you are not ready for it now so it won't be as if you are taken the decision alone.
Believe me, court wedding is very good. It makes marriage sweet. No matter what you do you can't marry another wife except you divorce this one first.
Fear not bro, if you love her and she loves you, go ahead.
Once you marry, try to live very far away from her family and your family too.
Shalom
Mumu dey worry you Why should it always be incase the son dies,na you wan Kill am ? Why should an African man be tamed from having a second wife. What if the first wife becomes too comfortable and starts misbehaving because women tend to when they have any atom of power .okay let's say that's the woman's security and insurance, what about the man's insurance ? So he should go into a marriage with both hands tied, he can't have a second wife or have an affair ,he can't inherit the woman's property because obviously an average nigerian wife has nothing. He is required to die first too Haba .this western way of marriage will kill you all. What happened to our traditional marriage ? A woman that is loyal will get more than that from the husband but if she is disloyal, you throw her back to the street.
Oghene86: Why are you afraid? Do it there's nothing there, they are only trying to protect their daughter from your family should anything happen to you, nothing more
Why should something happen to you ? What if their daughter starts misbehaving? What is the man's insurance too? Double standards?
Wainey: Nothing is wrong with court wedding. If she divorce you, one office pin she no go see collect, this is not western world where wealth is shared after divorce
With the way nigeria is going and embracing any western culture, don't you think laws regarding that might be going through amendments? Let's say in 20 years time. Don't do it
ghettochild: You be chairman! I once lived in Thembisa n I still visit every january
Thembisa? Are you okay? Na there xenophobia dey start if e wan start oh.na 99% south african Blacks live there . A friend of mine was shot dead there by black sans inside his bedroom after robbing him because he was doing well as a foreigner. Dem think say them go meet bag of money. The rent is cheap I know but security matters
The real problem is with taking your ARV' so your viral load is low to undetectable. Once in this status is almost a zero possibility for you to transmit but SA couples' man and wife are very promiscuous, so I understand your fear.
Bro I don't want any mistake. Condom or not. I can stay without sex,I have learnt it .condom do burst. I have so many plans for myself. No disease will slow me down.
Glimpsetv: A South African lady has made a startling revelation about the number of students living with HIV in South Africa. She disclosed that those living with HIV are primarily teenagers between the ages of 17 and 29.
According to her, these are individuals who chose 10 minutes of pleasure, risking their lives in the process.
Please watch the video and listen. Remember to like and share this video.
Bro it's more than that ,in every family of 5 at least two will have hiv. Sometimes the full family . That is why I have learned celibacy throughout my stay in this country. Sex doesn't freak me. I can stay more than 4 years without sex as a guy. South africa taught me how to. Its scary . I mostly have sex when I visit nigeria.
Zayttoven: Sometimes I wonder how I fell in love with reading novels. I presume it was out of sheer curiosity. Although I no longer read novels, I can't help but reminisce on the good ol' days.
I've read a lot of novels from authors such as Dante Alighieri, Leo Tolstoy, George R.R. Martin, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Stephen King, Dan Brown, Agatha Christie, J.K. Rowling, Mario Puzo, Robert Ludlum, J.R.R. Tolkien, Sidney Sheldon, George Orwell, Tom Clancy, James Patterson and our very own Chinua Achebe just to mention a few.
My personal favourite would be Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
What's yours?
It might be elementary but I will never forget "cheer up brother" Main character is reverend wahihi,the devils uncle
legitnow1: WRONG NIGERIA WITH A LITTLE EFFORT WILL SURPASS SA WITHIN 4 YEARS.

Igbo states are among the worst in nigeria ,no meaningful development and they have the greediest of leaders. Show me one world class city in igbobland. Only tiny duplexes everywhere by igbo sons not living there .you all are mad
WE HAVE THE RESOURCES AND BRAINS, PLUS WE WORK HARD.
Fellow nigerians,don't mind this south africans . They always find a way to put you down if you have their citizenship. They go find a loophole and crucify you.same thing they did to pastor bushiri when they wanted him down.no document processing process is perfect.so they must be a loophole to nail you. I am here in their country and that is why I don't fight for their citizenship. It's worthless. They will take it from you in with any small excuse. They are very xenophobic and full of hate. Even with the right document,passing through the airport is like passing through the eye of a niddle . Everyone keeps looking at you with hatred as if you came to take their land and enslave them again. They are the lowest scums of the earth.been here 10 years and never fight for their citizenship.i don't need it. As long as I have my business permit,I am cool.

Wisdomkosi: OPINION : Four Reasons You Should Think Before Joining The Nationwide Protest
By Wisdom Nwedene
Ahead of the planned nationwide protest scheduled to kick off on August 1st, 2024, I strongly believe that Nigerian Youth should think twice before joining the protest.
Though, there are genuine reasons for the protest but I have four strong reasons which made me to believe that this protest is not in the best interest of the country at the moment.
Below are my reasons
1. The organisers Of The Protest Are Faceless Individuals : It's crystal clear that those organising this protest are not known till now. I recommend that this type of protest should have leaders that should be calling the shots in case things go wrong. In a protest where everyone is a leader, many things can happen. The organisers should be at the forefront, leading the protesters and controlling the crowd so that things won't go wrong.
2. Thugs Can Hijack The Protest: It's very difficult to organise a peaceful protest in a country battling with bandits, criminals, hoodlums and expect things to go fine.
3. It's Still Early To Judge Tinubu’s Government : I still believe that it's too early to judge Tinubu’s Administration by leading this type of heavy protest against him. Despite that his policies are too harsh, Tinubu still needs time to address issues and bad policies of previous administrations.
4 All of us can still remember what happened during the EndSARS protest. Many lives were lost and property worth billions of Naira destroyed. How sure are we that this Nationwide won't degenerate to what happened during EndSARS protest? I think we should think twice. We can't afford to lose more lives and our national assets destroyed again just like what is happening in Kenya.

CyrusVI: Is it about winning the masses or about your own safety
The earlier u understand the world wont stop when anyone gets killed, the better
The family will mourn them and curse the day the choose to be foolish
EndSars comes to mind
My people fear too much They fear to fight for freedom They fear to fight for liberty They always get reason to fear I no wan die I no wan quench Mama dey for house I just build house I wan enjoy
Sha don't carry your protest to the street of delta and asaba environs, tinubu must finish his tenure weather good or bad just like we tolerated buhari. Protest is haram like you all said. Any northerner that protests here will be shot at sight
MufasaLion: Downfall of Putin will give peace to the world.
If you were intelligent enough,if you knew your left from right, you would have known by now that alignment with putin/russia/,global south is in the best interest for you/your family,nigeria, africa.but as a typical selfish african that you are,you don't look beyond your nose. All that matters to you is to get a us citizenship. Africans like you are thesame that exchanged their brothers for a keg of gun powder during slave trade.
WriterNig: Five attack submarines stand out as the best in the world today:
Russia's Sierra II Class (Project 945A Kondor) and Yasen-Class (Project 885), the UK's Astute-class, and the U.S.'s Virginia-class and Seawolf-class.
These submarines are renowned for their advanced technology, multi-purpose capabilities, and powerful weaponry.
Each class features unique innovations, such as the titanium hulls of the Sierra II, the high-specification video technology of the Astute, and the modular design of the Seawolf, making them formidable assets in modern naval warfare.
Today, more than two dozen nations operate attack submarines, but these five classes stand out as the absolute best of the best.
