abbey621: No need to argue, make una keep waiting for imaginary saviour to come and end corruption and poverty
I am not expecting any saviour. These things can be done minimally and strategically and we will still achieve something worthwhile. No matter what policies are put in place people will still find a way to cheat the system. Even if we put death penalty just like some Asian countries some people will even still have the urge to do otherwise. Our foremost aim should be to ensure the economy improves and the lives of the populace is better. Gradually corruption will also be mitigated to the minimal.
abbey621: Theory is often misrepresented as reality, a country like Nigeria with the population and ethnic/religious differences, zero harmonization/patriotism and over 60% of the budget going towards servicing existing obligations, NADA can be done in 3 years......ABEG STOP THE LAMBA!
My main point remains the Consitution written as of now does not explicitly punish corrupt officials. It does not curb the excesses of government and as long as this remains the same, wishing for one imaginary superman of a president to turn the country to Dubai is simply COMICAL.......In fact, it would be just like watching one of Sabinus' skits
There's nothing wrong with the constitution. It's out mentality that's our greatest problem.
abbey621: Majority of Nigerians are intellectually deficient! Do we even understand how the Nigerian government works? How can one man fix a country that's been broken for over 50 years? How would he convince the hungry lions in the Legislative branch to not pad the budget, to not seek billlions for cars and other goodies?
Una really believe Osibanjo won't borrow money or remove subsidy? Keep waiting for that imaginary hero instead of demanding a change to the Constitution and death penalty for corrupt officials. Una really funny
Let's not deceive ourselves even if the country has be damaged for 200 years it can be rebuilt within 3 years at least critical sectors that will boost the other sectors of the economy and the good results will be visibly seen and the positive impacts felt by the masses. The country can be run by one man's ideology but he has to have people who will work with his ideology and let's hope and believe that it's something that is ideal and not some imaginary of trial and error approach system. The man should be able to also have people who would play supervisory roles and ensure they keep him updates with realistic reports and the president should be to also ascertain those who are being truthful with him and also ensure anyone who is only interested in eating public funds and getting over fat should be prosecuted and serve prison time to the fullest.
Coldrux: See how myopic you are? I sincerely feel for you if you're judging Osinbajo's competence on the basis of not been able to win APC primaries. Do u know how primaries are conducted at all? You obviously do not understand politics of Nigeria
Oga, in a free and fair contest, ATIKU won't beat Osinbajo.
Nigeria's voting population will always come from the North. So tell me how will Osinbajo win Atiku in the North and also in the East?
Let's leave aside the South South and West in this talk.
Hemanwel: If only the SS and the SE could realize that this is the time to align with the north to pay the SW in their own coin. If only they could realize that this is the time to join forces with the north to grab power from Tinubu and the SW just the way he joined forces with the north in 2014 to oust GEJ from power.
Now that Tinubu has fallen out with the north, let's see how he would win his re-election with only SW votes in 2027.
I wonder who is the North that you think he has fallen out with...... Anyways let me just tell you that Atiku will be the presidential candidate and Tinubu will win with a good margin and be returned as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
ceejay80s: hello guys a friend came from port Harcourt to see me on 24th morning he was with me till 25th , we were at night gisting and I ask about his wife..... to cut the long story short,
the father in-law is still alive but the wife, sister and her sisters husband called him that they will be coming to his place to return the bride price, I asked him , who did u give the bride price to? he said the father, I told him to ignore them until the father in-law calls u or ur father before u go and collect it.
Nairalanders I hope I am right?
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO U ALL
You are on the right track. But you can call the person who you gave the bride price who stood as the father and also ensure another elder of the house from her side is aware and inform your family as well just as a form of notification.....
But I would really like to know what has resulted to all this happening?
I posted the above topic before when I married the ugly village girl my mom insisted I must marry.
We've been together for 2 years now, no child. The problem is that she's always giving me one infection or the other. I've treated infection for more than 3 times and this is someone I married a virgin.
The other day, I was peeing blood and it was so painful coming out. I've never cheated on her and I'm sure she's not cheating but I don't know how she gets these infections.
Right now, I'm on a sick bed battling infection and other ailment....on a new year day. My stomach has been biting me for 3 days now.
I'm tired. I'm thinking of sending her back to the village before she kills me.
I've told my mom that I'm no longer interested but she keeps on begging and telling me that things will get better. Things are getting worse day by day. She's so dull. She just sits at home. No ambition....nothing! Just cooks, washes, cleans, then stays home all day watching movies. A graduate with masters.
I'm so frustrated!
Your entire write up is not complete and filled with loose ends and loop holes. Are you sure you're not the one who is infecting your wife and you're saying she is the one infecting you with STIs/STFs? Also you're insulting your wife whom you claimed to have educational qualifications up to a Master degree and you seem to be treating your infection and you did not care to ensure that your wife is treated: Are you sure you're not the one to be blamed on this whole issue? Please when next you come online don't tell us that your wife is ugly, if you no like ugly woman you would not have condescend to such even if it's your mother that brought the lady and also please apologize to your mother because you just insulted her by calling the wife your mother gave you to be ugly.
CandyOps: I don't mean any insult but You sound illiterate and superstitious. How do you join the dots btw something as banal as sexual needs a d spirituality?
If I sound illiterate can you tell me the definition of you who is literate?
CandyOps: So i never change oil for like 1 month now.
Major reason is because I moved from my house into a shared space. because of that, I no longer follow up with my babes them.
before you know it, one month done pass. Going to two months now, Johnny never see Congo. Talk more of shining it.
So one thing i noticed is that i now have a lot of wet dreams especially after a period of 3 to 4 days in between each dream.
You know it takes an approx of 3 days after changing oil for a man's swimmer cells to come to another full maturity. One thing i've noticed during abstinance is that your awareness to women increases. The way you notice women increases as against when you are getting it steady.
You tend to stare for a few seconds longer than usual at women. You tend to sexualize even the most mundane thing about women... like when she casually bends over You sleep and your mind forces you to dream about women you already admire in your every day life.
It's crazy i hope i don't get to a point where if i sneeze i go sneeze out cum Make next year reach first. maybe i go use my slim Princess take change oil
This your personal experience is from the angle of an unbeliever unbelieving christian. Give your life to Jesus Christ.
zero8zero: Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has responded to the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai.
This is coming after El-Rufai shared photos of Reno protesting against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in London in 2022.
In the photos, Reno Omokri is seen holding a placard with the words: "No to a drug baron in Aso Rock."
El-Rufai added in the caption: "NIGERIA UPDATE – The interesting lifecycle of Wendell Simlin, also sometimes retained as a political mercenary by any person or government that can pay".
Subsequently, Reno took to Instagram to write: "Since Nasir El-Rufai left as governor of Kaduna, have you ever heard of k1ller herdsmen wiping out Christian communities in Southern Kaduna?"
Leobankx: August 23, 2024, marked exactly one year since the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, promised to end open grazing in Abuja.
I am completely lost and need advice. My name is Olumide Adeyanju(Not my real name), and I’m a 42-year-old civil engineer based in Lagos. I’ve been married to my wife, Tola, for seven years. We have a son together, Jidenna, who is five years old. Our marriage hasn’t been perfect, but I thought we had something solid—until recently.
When I met Tola, she was a divorcee. She told me her first marriage to a man named Dapo Olatunji ended after three years due to irreconcilable differences and I believed her. According to her, Dapo had anger issues and was overly controlling. She said she left the marriage to protect her mental health and focus on building a better life for herself. At the time, I admired her courage, and we built a beautiful relationship.
Last month, everything changed. Tola and I were invited to a wedding in Lekki. As fate would have it, Dapo was also at the wedding. It was the first time they were seeing each other in nearly 10 years. I noticed they exchanged pleasantries, and while it seemed cordial at first, something about the way they looked at each other didn’t sit well with me.
In the weeks that followed, I started noticing subtle changes in Tola’s behavior. She began acting distant and spending more time on her phone, often smiling at her screen like a teenager in love. When I asked her what was going on, she brushed it off, saying it was just "work stress."
Then, two weeks ago, I came home early from work and found her on a video call with Dapo. She didn’t realize I was home, so I overheard parts of their conversation. They were laughing and reminiscing about their past together—things like how they used to travel to Abuja for weekend getaways and the time he bought her a surprise gift for her birthday. It felt like I was intruding on a private moment between lovers.
When I confronted her, she admitted that she and Dapo had been talking regularly since the wedding. She claimed it was "nothing serious" and that they were just "catching up as friends." But I don’t believe her. Her behavior has changed so much. She’s more secretive, and I even found out she met up with him last Saturday without telling me. She said it was a "closure" meeting, but why does she need closure after all these years?
Now I’m stuck. I love Tola, but it feels like her heart is being drawn back to Dapo. I’ve spoken to my elder brother, Kunle, and he thinks I should stand my ground and fight for my marriage. But my best friend, Tunde, says I should let her go if she’s already emotionally checked out.
I don’t know what to do. Should I confront Dapo directly? Should I give Tola an ultimatum to stop talking to him? Or should I quietly walk away and let her decide who she really wants to be with?
Please, Nairalanders, I need your honest opinions. Have you experienced or heard of a situation like this? How do I handle it?
Let me be blunt..... Before your wife starts sleeping with her ex if she has not already. Sit your wife down and ask her if she's interested in the continuation of the marriage and what is she willing to sacrifice to ensure the marriage succeeds. Also tell her your position as regards the communication/relationship and her new found attitude between her and the ex.....
I don't want you to act macho about it all, but note that at this stage in life them no dey beg woman to remain in marriage so you don't have to get broken beyond repairs. If you're also a true believer and a born again Christian, then make God through Christ Jesus your best friend.
Also instead of you to harbour thoughts that will make you be downcast, please try as much as you can to channel those thoughts and energy into ensuring you make yourself happy righteously and also that of your child. Good luck with you and your family.
Bringing this up is completely irrelevant of the current situation we find ourselves and anyone picking anything to use out of here against Wike is completely ignorant and gullible. We all know Wike has paid his dues to anyone who has helped him and even more. So it's childish when a helper turned benefactor has been paid and such turns around to insult the helped who was also a benefactor then it will give way to opening a can of worms.
Zackattack: Your stupidity na first class o! Odili was a nobody, but he emphatically won again in 2003 unopposed. What an idiot! Odili, a 2007 presidential candidate was a nobody! Make God give you sense o!
Did Odili purchase the PDP aspirant form for president prior to the PDP campaigns?
Small whining he will start vomiting something that supposed to be secret. This is so childish.
I can see that Wike is just a taunt, that believes everything is by force, thinking life is all about politics.
Wike rest abeg. Everything in life is not politics.
You will only say what you have done to people, forgetting to mention what people havr done for you as well.
Do you know that Peter odili's wife was supreme court judge, was becoming CJN before her retirement. And she was there for you throughout when you were attacking Buhari in his regime.
Wike, must you fight with everyone. This is so bad of a man like wike. An elderly person who doesn't know when to stop talking. Shame on you Wike. People around you are just there because of power or else you have nothing to offer.
Stop this your lost battle with Fubara and the good people of River state, you have actually failed woefully. You have reduced yourself to a laughing stalk in the face of Nigerian due to your tyranny.
You talk too much as a man
People like you with detest Wike but at the same time you will love Trump !!!! Abeg tell me if that is not hypocrisy?
tope777: The Odili's rescued my political career. When I wanted to run for second term as Chairman of council, they removed my name and I ran to Government house.
When I got there, I saw his wife, and I said ma, I'm finished and she said what happened, I told they her they removed my name for second term. Immediately she took me to Dr Peter Odili, the then Governor of Rivers State.
Odili called Secondus, who was the State party Chairman then. He was just leaving Government house and he ordered him to return and he did, and my name was reinstated.
Sir, if I ever make you cry, may I not have peace.
Eriokanmi: Indeed. And Wike is a saint. Wait until fubara exposes him. Time never reach ni. Fubara even vowed to do so..
We are waiting to hear what Fubara will say against Wike. It seems that you don't even know or understand what is happening till. If Fubara get something, let him spill it with his mouth. Do you not know whatever he wants to say,he will under his tenure as accountant general and those things if incriminating he has soiled his civil service carrier and it may likely affect him even as a governor. Let him be very bold to say those incriminating things. Those are what we are waiting to hear.
Chinjo2: So because he supported you as Governor, he should also join you to fight Fubara abi? Have you all forgotten when wike described odili as One man and his wife as one woman? Tinubu should just watch what he tells Wike because at the appointed time, wike will reveal all of them.
Everyone and anyone will be revealed when they say things belittling towards another. As e dey sweet for their mouth when they say it they should know that it will also be sweet in another's mouth when it's been said of them.
fergie001: Wike made this known in Port Harcourt on Sunday during a thanksgiving service for the speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule.
The thanksgiving service was held at the Church of the Holy Spirit Anglican Church, Port Harcourt in honour of Amaewhule.
Odili don match red line. Now Wike has spoken the truth. When we talk it will be like we dont know. Let them keep exposing themselves. Wike will tell them who they really are. This is where Iove politics. When those who are considered elders have refused to play the role of elders then they will be made to roll in the mud because they have chosen to get dirty all because of stomach infrastructure.
lildush: Am telling u. Odili did not disturb anyone after his tenor like wike is doing now. It will have been easy for him den because people were not exposed politically like now. There were few men dat had politics money during his time. He will have become a bigger rorg Dan tinubu in rivers state.. but the man is not greedy like wike.. since this whole drama started I never heard him speak. He was probably waiting to see if wike will borrow some sense and stop this stupidity. But nooooo. He didn't. He forgot there were able men in rivers political space before he came. The situation is getting worse and he is proud of fubaras courage .. maybe that's why he spoke out now. May God bless odili.. bless fubara. Rivers state. Delta state my state and Nigeria as a whole. One love my people
Many of you don't even know what is happening in Rivers State politics other than what you read online by individuals who are peddlers of lies... How did Odili vie for the office of the president when he was gifting POBJ Rivers State allocation to sweeten his mind so he could receive blessing and endorsement!!!!!! Did he at any point in time buy the PDP presidential aspirant form? Certainly, No. Also how will Odili disturb anyone after his tenure as governor after 8 years? That was not possible because he allowed his personal ambition to over ride his judgment and followed POBJ words thereby giving Omehia the governorship ticket. Amaechi after the elections went to court and he won through the court because the party and Omehia acted out of the party constitution. So Odili could not continue to become a godfather to Amaechi because there was no existing good rapport and relationship between them. And that is the beginning of a life long relationship between Amaechi, Wike, Magnus and Dakuku and it was only short lived because of the quarrel between Amaechi and the Jonathan's which resulted to the loss of PGEJ President re-election.
How many former governors of Rivers State have been brought to book by EFCC? Do you know which judge instituted a perpetual injunction in favour of a former governor against corruption cases?
DeltaFire: NIGERIA'S BETRAYAL OF THE SAHEL: ALIGNING WITH FRANCE AT THE REGION'S EXPENSE!!!!!!!!!!!
Our children are in danger oooooo!
When Alliance of Sahel States (ASS) which are Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali removed France’s military from their lands and told France to go away, then Senegal too began to resist the colonizer called France, it is then that Tinubu opens the door for France to come steal our valuable resources, destroy our environment and will the French troops come to us too?
All these conjuring of nonsense. Are you referring to these people from the Sahel who are marauders and masquerades in Nigeria, who are destroying farmlands and villages in the North and their Northern fulani kinsmen are supporting them for destroying Nigeria which is virtually not theirs because they want to make it theirs by any means necessary.
Jorussia: If una dey write this nonsense here this thing go dey boil me for mind.Where rivers people dey when Wike arrange elections for Tinubu and fubara? Heavens fall?. People dey mention state for election matter for Nigeria u dey mention Rivers State wen election nv happen there since 1999 .
I am from Edo State and I can remember cautioning many people here who were making noise that Edo is not Lagos in the Sept 2024 election.See if the presidency decides to handover rivers state to Wike in 2027, there is nothing anybody can do about it .Wetin una want do una want burst pipelines for rivers because of fubara?If una burst pipelines,dem go repair and fubara would still be gone.No major political parties would ever give ticket to an ijaw man again in Rivers.Fubara only hope of returning is for him to pray that Tinubu shouldn't recover from his current economic failure and there is overwhelming opposition from Nigerians across the nation against his return.
Thank you for the bolded. Some persons will just come online and be talking. I just hope it doesn't get to that stage in Rivers State because when it happens then we will know who be who. At least the FG knows those who they gave pipeline surveillance contracts in Rivers State and let's see who will destroy it.....
Leobankx: Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike has knocked a former Governor of Rivers State, Dr Peter Odili over a recent remark against his principal.
Is Odili who is the foremost representative amongst others and Fubara whom PBAT gave that agreement to sign and they signed it on behalf of the Gov. Fubara!!!!! You can imagine the script being played by them? Imagine people whom Gov. Amaechi utterly and perpetually silenced in his 8 years administration. If not for Gov. Wike wo because governor afterwards where will al these fellows have voice to speak !!!! Well, such is politics and those whose stomach will forevermore be only truthful to stomach infrastructure.
mrksquare: Well, I even regret obliging you with a response. They should test the water and let's see the outcome.
Thank God the election in 2027 isn't an off cycle election. Wike should wait and test his might. Even his connivance with INEC will fail him. You think Rivers people are zombie like the people of Lagos. We ain't any push over. Wike's time is up.
That you are even bringing up the OBJ era is really unfortunate. Of all the governors that ObJ instigated their removal, virtually all of them were restored back to power through the instrumentality of the court. Even the Late Gov. D.S P Alamiesegha, if he had challenged his removal, would have gotten reprieve from the court. We have long past that era of president removing governor. The last time Jonathan attempted it in Rives state, he got his hand burnt by losing his re-election bid.
Tinubu should pray how he can win Rivers state in 2027. It won't be Uhuru for him in 2027. As Rivers people will not stand idly by and watch Wike subvert their will to a non-performer.
2027 is not far. Let's just hope it doesn't happen.
toprealman: You don’t know who Odili is. He made Wike the monster he is today! Amechi was his houseboy prior to his “appointment” as HOA speaker! Same model, look for the least experienced but most loyal person. That way you have cult like followers.
mrksquare: Even Tinubu and Wike joined together cannot remove Gov. Fubara. They should dare it and see the consequences.
You are taking nonsense in absolute terms. All these people coming out to talk of consequences if Gov. Fubara is removed, I just dey laugh. Those days in Rivers State are all over. All these people coming out to speak will remain silent if that ever happens. It's just fortunate that PBAT is not even interested and would only allow the courts processes be finished. Imagine, if it was POBJ who was in office , do you think anyone talking about consequences will know where they will see themselves......
Nnamdipapa: Weak men like Jona should never be allowed to be VP or president. It was that mistake that was capitalized upon by APC. Just saying.
And is it Odili who is a strong man??!!! Hahahahah.... Was it not just one word from the mouth of POBJ on that fateful that made Odili remove Amaechi as governorship aspirant of the PDP and even replaced with Omehia and a lot of things occured which can't be wiped away from history and only the gullible and ignorant will believe folktales. Those activities shaped history and destinies to fall in for others and out for others.
