Democrats formed majority in the house. If you look vividly, all the republicans reps votes against the impeachment which shows that they are united. Republicans are united in both house of reps and the senate. The senate that formed majority will acquit trump dismissed the impeached articles by the democrats. It's done deal for POTUS as he will be reelected in November 2020 presidential poll.

Really....

While it is okay for her to love you so much, you are the man and should love her crazily.
The holy book commands the man to love and the woman to be submissive.
If she loves you more than you love her, that is, if you doubt what it is that you feel for her, then I wouldn't advice you to go ahead.

Please explain further, cos in interested in this matter.

I am very disappointed in the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina.

Even if them send you message, can't you apply wisdom

Most importantly, as a journalist, he ought to know the importance of a voice and criticism, knowing fully well that he once belonged to this minority!!!

Even if it's a Nigerian, the voice deserved to be heard!!!

Going bacek to the subject matter, as an individual, is Femi Adesina saying that the invasion of the court is right

He should remember that this job will not last forever. He should take a cue from Abati!!!

This is very sad, honestly I have given up on the Nigerian political system so a long time.

Adesina is a man I respected so much, when is was Chief Editor of Sun News paper. I don't miss his piece every Saturday (including Frank), cos of unbiased approach to political opinions and was really happy for he got appointed by the present administration but what a sad turn of event, I feel so disappointed with things that come out of his mouth this days. Dude is totally lost.

I am not under 25 sister, and your christian dogma won't sit with me. If i do become 35 and remain unmarried, i have decided that i will live life, adopt a child and get a boytoy. I have tasted what it is like to settle for a random guy(to be egging on a full grown man on what to do like his mother). Will never go through that again.
But thanks for your opinion but i will be avoiding Shiloh like the plague.

I believe you have positioned your mind on how your future should look like........ Am only confused on why you come to public domain to seek for views, when you mind is made up?..

pocohantas:
Ageless beauty.

That is how you look without man troubles.

Eh ya..... Sorry, you are gonna have many man troubles.

MelesZenawi:
Citizens are now coming out.

Ihedioha is on the right path.

My brother, your arguments are not constructive...... What OP said are his personal views, like he rightly stated .

So if you think otherwise, all you have to do is Marshal out your points, to put in clear sight of the real deal in Imo State. Not try to be shallow minded.

CTPlayer:
Biden/Archer were paid about 3.5 million by the energy company, and in essence were lobbying the USA government to end investigation into the energy company. Reporter John Solomon secured emails using the FOIA detailing what happened. Someone here posted links to this.

The question is, was there quid pro quo in the conversation between Trump and Ukraine's president?.

CTPlayer:
Just the opposite. Nobody paid Trump. Now on the other hand the Ukrainian energy company paid/bribed the Bidens
for special treatment and to end an investigation into that company.

I believe the word quid quo pro means..... Giving/getting something, in return for something ( usually negative), which in our local parlance means..... Scratch my back, I scratch your back... Don't this conote bribery/corruption?.

NewsMuncher:
I agree with your headline for the first time!

Sadly you clearly don't know anything about political philosophy!

Its not about the name.. American Democrats share very similar ideals and philosophies with Nigeria's APC and Britain's labor.

That's the political left whose ideologies are deeply rooted in liberalization and change.

America's GOP, Nigeria's PDP and UK Torries are political conservatives.

Next time you want to fire, aim properly!

Laugh wan kill me......

Please do any political party in Nigeria (APC/PDP and co) have any political ideology or philosophy?..... They are all a bunch of corrupt, brainless sect, with the sole aim of defrauding the poor masses.

RealMrNigerD:
Just cause of recent midterm and governorship elections you say this right. We can go on and on trying to convince each other but well, lets let time do its work, come 2020 we'll know the truth. Even 2024, Pence takes over. Not only will Trump win but set a favourable precedent that will see consecutive election of those who can continue his legacy.

Lol.... You are funny man... PENCE what!

Don't get me wrong, Trump might actually take it home next year but can never win the popular vote (I will bet on it any day). But if if Warren or Biden whom i feel might fly the flag for DNC next election can find a way to appeal to the core white voters (whom really make up good numbers of the college votes) then you are going to kiss Trump presidency good bye.

sassysure:
Don't start what u can't finish. Ur future husband is looking at you. Today is lovey dovey, there must be arguments and heated up moments, some words will start tumbling out from your spouse or his people's mouth. Don't create such an avenue pls.

Though we may retract and apologise, those words means a lot and that is how seed of discord is sown.

Unless some tribes do so, I have never seen where pride price is collected by mum's people even though they singlehandedly trained you.
Give to everybody what belongs to them even though u don't like them to avoid stories that touch. At least u are in good terms with him and sometimes give him money so what's the problem here? Ur uncle didn't advice you well.
He is indeed a very selfish one and has failed to tell you the truth which is, he is not the right one to collect your dowry.
He too has entitlement mentality. Thousands and millions have been trained by uncles and aunts or even strangers yet, the world did not end.
U can do it outside the village but make sure your father and his people are there. Sorry but that's how it is.

If your father is dead, his brothers and relatives will take over on behalf of your brothers if they are not adults yet. Don't ever give your future in-laws room for attack as nobody knows tomorrow.
Congrats as u journey into another chapter of your life.

I try to get your point on what you are saying as regards the her hubby and the family, that is a good note but I don't quite agree with you on your narrative about the Uncle.... You know what they say "what is good for the goose, is good for the gander. I honestly advocate, if a renegades his duty for his family, he should endeavor to accept every consequences that come with it.

I honestly think she should follow the advice from BorntoBreed. Let the father take the brief price, not because his entailed to it but for peace and to reign.

RealMrNigerD:
Facts from CNN and all leftist media outlets. Son wake up from mental slavery, have a mind of your own and its all plain to see. Trump is the most loved POTUS in the US in recent times coz he cares for the citizens with his life. Black unemployment is the lowest ever under him and economy the best in recent years coz he's got no ulterior motives like Obama the snake and the Bush dynasty. All black citizens(illegal immigrants not included) with true self worth love him. Take a break from shitty CNN and watch Fox news for starters, the whole world asides perverts wants a president like Trump in their nation. Its the reason CNN has steadily lost viewership under Trump while Fox news has gained number one spot.

geezzz.....where do you get your facts from.... Most loved POTUS... His approval rating goes down day by day, even by polls done by Fox.

DNC have ran a major on the RNC since the mid term elections.... gaining entrance in very hot RED states..... Flipped the house...lost the popular vote and will still lose the popular vote next election (though I still think he has chances of winning, still via the college vote) and u say most popular.

Trump have US foreign policy on reck...no body, have almost obliterated all of there strong European Allies.... His work on job creation is certainly good but he doesn't have the persona to be a POTUS.

Are kidding me... Though I don't like the negative narrative by CNN and other left wing media outlets but this is vice versa.

Have you ever seen a positive narrative from Fox news or other right wing media's on the Democrats..... The answer is NO..... The same way CNN is demonizing Trump, that's same way Fox news did to Obama.

So don't point one finger here, while the other finger faces the opposite direction.

We only try to judge CNN from here because no body gets to see Fox news from Africa.

Kampack:
To be honest, your words are soothing! they are like oil to help wounds heal!

First time I'll read a post on NL in details, page to page!
Interesting saga. this young man is between the devil and the deep blue sea.

I was once in this boat, but a little different anyway. the only difference between the OP and I, was that he seems weak and emotional. Apparently, the 'bride to be' is taking full advantage of it all!

My strategy: boldy call the shots! declare what you want and stick to your guns. It's alreay too late to chicken out since the court marriage has been done. I just want the OP in control as the man. Tell her what you can afford and what you cant. She can cry you a river! be blunt even to the sister! Don't borrow a dime from the sister or whosoever, that'll sink you further into debt, remember you are already in one - the car loan. Without a steady stream of income, brace yourself for tougher times ahead! Work harder and explore avenues to earn more income. You'll stabilize with time, even though it might take a while.

For that your 'bride', you have a lot to do on that cry baby and drama queen, but you can deal with her by being firm. The match maker (bride sister) be warned, she's a third party - a trojan horse as far as I am concerned. She appears to be nice at the moment because she wants her sister married! After the ceremonies, she'll rudely tell you how she sponsored your borke ass for your wedding and how much of a slothful lazy lily-levered man you are. Thank her for her offer of help but have none of her further interference or financial contribution. The risks of contempt are extremely high!

DO NOT have a hand in spilling the blood of that baby, not even by being mute or playing the 'you can do whatever card', remember the baby is not only innocent, but your child as well!

Above all, pray! It works!

Exactly my point sir. no one's life is perfect, we all experience pain and failures almost Everytime (even the rich, whose life seem perfect). He should cool down, find a solution to his problems by standing firm as a man in his decisions and salvage what is left of his life..... Believe me, he can come out of this stronger and a winner (running do not solve problems), it's difficult I know but he can do it.

Simpleete:
Oil dey your head,you sabi something

Lol...

0KNM:
How many of such stories ended up getting better after marriage? Some of you do not learn. Maybe too scared to accept reality so yall prefer to deceive yourselves smh

Please what is the reality?.

That you can be the best of a man by running from every problem that come your way....my dear wake up.. life is real, it's not a bed of roses... You will encounter problems everywhere.

Marriage
Work
Finance
Relationship
Family etc

The first thing you owe your self, is facing your problems square-on and not run at first sight of it.... Give it your all and then if it doesn't work, you can put your head high and walk away.

pappy2000:
I need to start this write up that i met this lady early this year and i had another lady who from my analysis is not so much in love with me so when i finally met this lady, she was everything i desire in a woman, so we started dating and from dating i went to see her sister in Abuja then from Abuja i went to kogi to meet her parent.

I met her family late June 2019. So I work in a blue chip company with a salary of little more than 100k so but i realized the salary won't make me live my dream life so i took a loan from gtbank to buy a car and use for e hailing.

My fiancee was so much supportive that she on her own decided to add like 200k fund so i bought a toyota matix.

So when I gave out the car the people i gave it to were all misbehaving so i decided that i will drive the car, she was so cool and nice that she will do everything at my beck n call.

Now when i went to meet her sister in Abuja her sister insists that we should pick a date meanwhile in may when we were marking her birthday, she told me how sad she was due to the fact that she was marking her birthday and she is getting younger so i promise her then that we will marry this year. I told her in Novermber so we finally settle for a date and the sister spent her money.

Unfortunately for me things were not as i planned in the uber biz, i need a few repair here and then. Now we got days left to wedding and she has been very irrational. She is pregnant for me, each time she visits me, i will beg her, na the cry and cry. How I truly want a happy home.

Op... I really do feel for you at this time, it's not easy coping with certain pressures but leaving your woman and your unborn child is not the answer.

It's good enough you took some step in finding a solution to your financial stability but you have should know every business has it's risk and you should have made adequate plan to check mate the risk. Like the saying goes "if you do not fail, you will never learn". God will surely make you rise like a phoenix.

Please be patient with your lady, in as much this is hard for you, should also know this is a trying time for her as well and she is pregnant and most women at her stage can be very irrational in their decision and Very cranky.... You said she was nice to you in the beginning, supporting your vision, even giving you her money for the business wanted to start and so far her family has been very supportive of you. I think you have to be man enough and confront your problems, think of solutions and not burying you head in shame and running with your tails in-between your legs... If you leave her now, what is the assurance your next marriage trial will be better?, Why not fight for this first and know you gave it your all before making up your mind to quit. You are legally married you know, so if this one is going to be much an issue, you can call it off or better still ask her sister to speak with her.

You don't solve issues by running away from it oga... Think about your unborn child as well, would you want to deny him/her a good parentage without even trying first to be a good father.

Beatswim:
bros as a counsellor.. I married without a job for 5 years before God openwd a big way for me this year.. I married a nurse... So respectful... Highly tolerant and very understanding lady.. The question i need to ask u is dis... Are u a Christian? If yes then i dont feel u know about seeking God's face before u choose a woman... From inception this marriage is quite faulty.. U are going to this marriage because shes pregnant... That a bad foundation..that lady will frustrate you..beta accept her child and seek God's face for a life partner

Please how do one seek God's face in a marriage?..

Do God come down from heaven and give you the wife?

Not everyone will have a supportive wife like yours for 5 years without a job but want I don't understand is you asking him to quit now, even after they are legally married in the eyes of the LAW, so it's okay he leaves the lady while she's pregnant for him (4 months)...wow.

No life journey is easy, the young man has made some mistake already but he should have some balls and face his demons, that is what define successful men, you don't run at face of a any slight obstacle (you don't win that way), good things don't come easy, we all dream of so many beautiful things we want in life but Who says it's going to come like a fairly tale?.

You are married sir and I guess you have children now as well, so should understand how cranky so ladies can become when they are pregnant, coupled with a pressure of planning a marriage, baba... This man should be patient and pray to God for a better days... From his narrative the girls family have been nice to him, willing to support him and the lady herself have been good to him in the past, can't he give it his best instead of running away.... And the truth be told no woman will be happy a man who can't get things done, they don't leave with promises.

0KNM:

There is no legal requirement to publicly disclose tax returns to run for or be POTUS.

How about transparency, since he wants to fight corruption.

CTPlayer:
So the Bidens are allowed to be criminals because Pops is running for President. That makes sense.

Can you please name one corrupt act of the Bidens or you just want to glorify your self cos you can afford data.

CTPlayer:
The Bidens are the criminals not Trump. People complain about aid to corrupt countries, then a President questions it he is the bad guy lol.

Sorry I don't get your point...

Did the Bidens give security aid to the Ukraine's? Or

Did Trump withheld approved security Aid to ukraine, in exchange for their DOJ to investigate an alleged corrupt appointment of Biden jnr into the board of Burishma?.

Please enlighten us, so we can understand your point.

SarkinYarki:
The answer is simple Buhari should fight the corruption of his customs officers at the borders who are the actual problem , they are the ones that charge bribes to allow people pass with contraband and Buhari should be instead focused on using what ever means he can afford to reduce corruption at the borders instead of this policy that is affecting only legit border users . As we speak the corrupt officers are still there cutting lucrative deals with smugglers to allow things pass in the early hours of the morning while the only people actually stranded are the legit exporters and importers ..look at it from this angle please , has the border not always been closed to smugglers ? Was there a time it was ever open to smugglers? No !!! The only thing that has changed now is that the border has be closed to legit users.

hmmmm. two sides of a coin, you have a point..... We all pray for the best though, so the legit boarder users can go back to their businesses... God bless you.

knowledgeable:
Why is it that we Nigerians are incapable of reasoning out of the box most of the time?.

I support Buhari on this one. For those of us who oppose this (strategically thought out policy implements) policy, please think deeply & think out of the box as well.

Could it be that, there are two strategic policy components to this?.

Could the first component seek to position Nigeria, for some sectors to witness increase in productivity/revenue generation and etc?.

Could the second component seek to early test the modus operandi of the newly signed Africa Free Trade Area & regional body like Ecowas engaging them to the seriousness of these treaties & how these treaties can sink some African economies while uplifting others. Thank God, that Nigeria have fired the first shot aimed at this complexities..... which I believe the outcome must be a stronger institution/regime to oversight the efficient running of these treaties to the benefit of all African economies while keeping the powerful predators guessing.

Enough said.

I have never been a supporter for this administration but that don't mean I won't clap when I see a laudable policy from this government and for what is worth, I salute the buhari administration for this one.

SarkinYarki:
The ECOWAS country's should ignore this Nonsense .. Borders are similar to filters in reality a border is put in place to filter what come into a country and what leaves but the Buhari govt is trying to blame the filtering efficiency of it's borders on other countries which is total Balderdash !!!!! Border cost millions of dollars to maintain and they are not built for ceremonial purpose but to act as filter that filters out unwanted goods and allow what is wanted come . When your water filter is bad at home you don't go about blaming your neighbors for the dirty water coming into your home but you instead fix the filter and get it working properly

you are right with your assertion but want I don't want to agree on is you blaming the buhari adminstration for the inefficiency in not filtering goods coming into Nigeria from its neighboring boarders.

So my question to you is this...

When decades long, problems of previous government inefficiency in filtering goods coming into Nigeria and the decay is seriously harming our local economy.....

What preventive measures do you think the government should take in preventing this menace that is seriously harming us?.

I don't understand your statement...... Are you saying he is okay with breaking the law, just to achieve a political intentions?.

*APPEARANCES ARE DECEPTIVE. MEETING OLD CLASS MATE.*

We had not seen each other for about 35 years. The Lord has been kind to me. When I saw him again - this time at a hotel lobby - he was looking simple. He wore simple Ankara attire. I felt touched. He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn't hide it. We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.

I told him I will drop him home in my brand new Range Rover and I pointed it to him. He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, a 2001 Honda Accord.

I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him - To show off my success and affluence to him, while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him.

He drove to Parkview where I lived. He looked impressed with my home. I had taken a heavy mortgage. In fact I was heavily in debt. We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans... He looked at me and smiled.

He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had. “Fingers are not all equal”, I thought to myself...I was lucky. I worked in a good place.

Two weeks later, we went to see him in Ikeja. My wife and I. She was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house. I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college. We saw the Estate. *Okwara Estate.* We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference.

It was a simple but lovely home. A 4 bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly.

Lunch was well served. His wife called him Onye Eze
.
During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the estate.

I did not know when I called him sir... I was in awe of him too.

I had learnt a lesson in humility - A big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort.

Driving back home, I was very quiet. I was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in MY mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life!

Indeed Deeper Rivers Flow In Silence!

hmmmmm....

Food for thought..
