Literature › Re: Chimamanda Adichie: Bride Price Should Be Abolished, I'm Not A Fan Of It by bixton(m): 6:29pm On Sep 23, 2018
Firstly its called *dowry payment * and not bride price with exception to those that require the lady to pay the price for the bridegroom (bride price ).

Be it whether the dowry payment is #10 or 10 kobo.
If you still get to spend #2million for the entire occasion then I see nothing new on what she just said.

What is fake news? Reno is correct. The problem with Nigerians is that they don't read to get information and yet they argue, quarrel and even resort to insult when those who are informed gives them information.
Make use of Google and read extensively.
Whatever you don't understand ask questions.

Only in Nigeria people tend to believe anything even simple things that can be sourced freely from the internet.

You have no idea about agric business.

Politics › Re: David Mark: I Will Turn Nigeria’s Economy Around In Two Years by bixton(m): 1:12pm On Sep 19, 2018
If not all the aspirants, majority of them have nothing to offer to the Nigerian economy.
Especially those who have become former governors, commissioners, senators in the hallowed chambers. There's no meaningful development they have brought to their respective states, local government, constituency, village.
The only development they can boast of is the so called monies they give to them less privilege people while short changing them of the roads to construct, pipe borne water, electricity, good schools, etc, etc.

Killings, kidnappings caused by injustice’
If that be, then this injustice started the moment this country was named Nigeria.



This country is not being run according to law and order; there is nothing like justice in Nigeria

Since the inception of democracy we have not abided by law and order.



“Before Buhari there was integrity; there was Tafawa Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo, Aminu Kano and Nnamdi Azikiwe. These are people of honour and integrity. He (Buhari) has never for once paid tributes to our founding fathers

It is not paying tribute to founding fathers that matters but living according to the ideals they meant.


We seek restructuring of Nigeria to address the problems confronting us. We seek answers to how your policies will address all these.”
People who in their capacity as governors have refused to allow local government councils run autonomous are chanting restructuring of the country. They are not statesmen but frauds.


People when not in power will sweet talk you but when in will play down all their sweet talk with excuses.
Properties › Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m):
ceelog:
If I might ask Sir, what constitutes "high quality" when the house has been roofed?
Is it the level of finishing or the price of furniture and fixtures the house gets?
I really want to know if high quality means expensive quality.

Let's take for an instance (for. 5bed duplex), if I do the following will it be classified as good and not 'high quality'?

1. Good plastering and screeding
2. Casement window and embedded burglaries
3. Simple but Elegant pop
4. Mixed Spanish and Italian tiles (not the overtly expensive ones)
5. Paint with Caplux or Meyer
6. Good kitchen cabinets (mdf) and wardrobes
7. Toilet fittings (mid price range and quality)
8. Iron rails for stairs and balcony.

Now if I do all these with 15 to 20m after building and roofing the house with 15m, it still doesn't qualify as "high"?

Pls my question is for educational purposes.
It has to do with finishing and not the carcass.

With a value of 20M, its considered good quality.
Quality comes with grade and a price tag.

Some where on this thread a pro said he'll charge #50M but #45M will still do wonders. Because he knows the quality, grade and aesthetic feel the structure will give.

Now If one considers a duplex built/finishing with #20M as high quality, will that same duplex be on the same high quality if built with #50M?

Distinction is quite different from excellent.

What you intend doing is capital intensive........

You may be looking at a minimum of 20 hectares.
You'll need to do a combination of wind turbines/solar panels and diesel generating plants for electricity generation.

Partnership will go along way achieving it.

Somethings can be tolerated because he/she is a politician moreover the people that are said to have stolen public funds can say there are no facts against them but speculations... In fact go look at some politicians or Technocrats that were found to have forged documents and see what became of them after all
Like I said, the maximum will be 6 months for her to get a job.

...i don't think you understand what happened... How would mere speculations from people make her just resign. She could have exonerated herself but she choose not too because she had no case to present... Her legal team would have advised her that she had little chance succeeding in the court which will bring embarrassment... So she most have been advised to resign which is normal when a public servant is involved in a controversy... Her public image is already tarnished because she will be remembered as the minister that forged a certificate
When you play into the hands of politicians then you'll imagine everything .
Kindly find out what was filed in court against her?

So you think Nigerians will remember her as a minister who forged nysc certificate.
....and this same Nigerians will not remember the politicians who stole public funds.

Which is more important and which will tarnish one's public image?

Now, we're seeing people reciting the laws of the land and nysc act

We have had several ministers who did not do nysc or got an exemption.

If you're bothered that the exemption letter was forged, well you'll have to proove that she was complicit.....
After all this is not her first position in the public service and the relevant authorities who screened her refused to do the needful to save us these unnecesay speeches.

While some wailers are still at it, she'll soon be offered a job by an international organisation/company.

I'm tellin u the truth bro.
Ok let me not just exaggerate but 70% of every family that has a young gal with a baby.
Some abort it while some leave it,.

read a topic here today where a guy laments that his yoruba gf left her after 3 abortions s for him, when I saw the story I knew it could be yoruba gal, until I saw where he said shez from ogun..
An igbo gal cant be that dumb to conceive 3times for u when u HV no plans for marriage.

Its not a coincidence, An average Yoruba gal dont mind if u knot inside her. Just a little brain washing , they are too naive thats why they easily get pregnant.
Generalization is not a good thing.
If there's an average Yoruba gal, is there no average Igbo gal as well?

We all want to praise our tribe but there's no tribe that her people are without flaws.
Keep sentiments apart.

It's not because of our educational background we can't comprehend .

Family › Re: POF: My Marriage Is About To Be Ruined Becaus Of A Secret I Kept From My Husband by bixton(m): 11:53pm On Sep 13, 2018
Kiishii:
I don't even know how to start, I'm really sad and i know it is my fault, i'm sorry if it's a long read i need advise please bear with me.

When i was still single at age 29, I left a relationship that turned out be a mistake so it took time before i met someone else, at age 31 I noticed changes in my period (one month off, one month on) it has never happened to me before so i didnt take it to be anything, then it started skipping 2 months at a roll, then 3 months, i became worried cos i wasn't sexualy active at all. During this period i met my husband and we started something serious, to be on a safe side i went to see the doctor, he said i was fine that it's hormonal changes, he gave me some drugs (mostly vitamins) but it was still skipping, when my husband proposed, i went back to the doctor, he did series of tests, when results came out he said i'm having symptoms of POF, i was shocked, i cried and cried cos it's unheard of for someone my age, i told him i'm about to get married what can i do he said i should start taking hormonal injections since it's too early to be POF, i started taking it and praying all will be fine, all this while i didnt say a word of this to my husband to be or anyone else, then we got married, i took in immediately, it was the happiest day of my life, when we discovered it was triplets i cried tears of joy to the extent that my husband wondered why i was soo happy, i gave birth to 2 boys and a girl, i really thank God for his faithfulness cos i was soo nervous during the pregnancy.

My period was still skipping, then this year march it stopped completely, i went to see 2 different doctors to be sure, they confirmed i have POF (early menopause), i cried and still thank God cos he blessed me with the fruit of the womb but i couldnt bring myself to tell my husband, then he started noticing i dont buy sanitary pad anymore, he asked thinking i was pregnant i always tell him no, at a point he had to ask me if i want to make the pregnancy a surprise, that was when i knew it's time to tell him the truth, i knelt down and told him everything, i held nothing back, he was shocked that i could do something like that to him, he said i should have told him before we got married, i told him he wouldnt have married me if i told him, he was angry, he said what if the hormonal injections didnt work, it was an expensive and wicked gamble, i told him it worked that's what matters now, he abused me and walked out of the house, he didnt come home till the next day, since then things have never been the same.

He hardly talks to me except when necessary, we dont gist and joke anymore, i always beg and beg him, he says he's forgiven me but he goes back to his moody self, we hardly make love anymore, when he finally does, he doesnt look at my face, now he wants me to quit my job so i'll have my full attention on the kids, recently we had a fight about it and i told him point blank i cant quit my job the kids are fine he said i must do that, he doesnt want anything happening to them since i'm no more fertile, who says that? I cried my eyes out that night, It's not my fault nature took it's course on me, i never imagined something like this would ever happen to me.

Now he doesn't talk to me at all anymore, i'm about to tell both our families everything cos i've begged and begged him and i'm tired, i want anonymous advise that's why i'm here, please please married men and women or whoever, how do i go about this?
Except there's something else bothering your husband, I can't really pin point what your fault lies.........

You kept a secret from him and hopefully and God willingly you have give an all in one package.
Triplets.......2 boys and a girl


Except probably he intends to have 5 or 7 children, then he can go ahead to marry a second wife if that will make his dream accomplished.

If he could not let you quit your job when you were pregnant he can't say he's morally correct to now tell you to quit same job to look at the children and staying at home.

I still don't get the reasoning
Inform your parents, seek their opinion before informing his parents as well in an all inclusive family meeting.
