Bro that tradition is not a ruse ooh, i think it only affect women who did traditional marriage with Isoko/Urhobo/Benin men. I don't know for court or church wedding sha, why do you think Isreal DMW has been boasting that his ex-wife Sheila cannot sleep with another man. The tradition (curse) may be broken if the woman returns the bride price and the husband accept it.

Just dey play. Israel just dey do empty boasting ni jare; it's from a place of pain

When all of these uproar calm down the lady will move on, knack any man she wan knack and nothing go do am.

TrebleChamp:
I think Isoko, Urhobo and some part of Benin mostly, their married women dare not cheap on thier husband.

Just Dey play !

Let them mandate DNA for women from those places u mentioned and u will be surprised that they cheat as much as their counterparts from other parts of the country

TrebleChamp:
You will be amazed with what some tribes practice as tradition in this country till this day. In some parts of Edo and Delta State, a married woman cannot cheap on her husband. Any woman that does will die a slow and painful death, yet married men can cheat on their wives and nothing happens.

Na poverty still dey make those kind culture exist in some parts of the country .

U will notice that people who hail from that same part of the country who are very much well-to-do and most likely living in the city would not even consider such traditions when a family member dies.

It's only families domiciled in the village with struggling relatives that keep such obnoxious traditions alive .

Imagine when Wunmi Obe's brother ( the son of Chief Olu Aboderin the founder of punch newspapers) who was married to Stella Damasus died ; make person come dey tell Stella Damasus that she must marry one of her husband's relatives. Smh.

TrebleChamp:
True if the women are compelled into remarrying husband relatives, good thing is it is not compulsory where i am from. A lot of obnoxious tradition scattered across the country, chief imo being the one that compels a widow to drink water used in bathing her late husbands corpse.

Baba, making it optional is a trap in itself; it's a manipulative scheme. If the woman decides not to marry the late husband's male relative; the late husband's family will simply see her as evil and this hate will transcend down to the society at large.

A woman widow will have no choice but to succumb to the emotional blackmail except she's a really really strong-willed woman who is determined to damn all consequences.

Like u agreed with me, there are just so many obnoxious traditions that should be trashed

TrebleChamp:
The tradition exist in my village, it may not make sense to you (even me) but it is a tradition that has existed for long. Although where i am from, it is not compulsory for the widow to re-marry the late husbands family member.

I know the tradition exists but I think it's obnoxious in this age and time. It's a tradition that tramples on the rights of the women folk.

Okay why didn't they balance it off and allow a widower to pick a new wife from his late wife's family ?

Theflint1:
It's not harmful tradition, doesn't mean the woman can't remarry if she so desires.

A tradition that compels u to remarry from ur late husband's family is not only harmful but evil.

So the woman is expected to mate with the borther of her late husband whom she's come to see as her own brother ? Even the mental health aspect of it is enough for it to be abolished .

Theflint1:
I think this is more in sticking with tradition and less about her actually getting married to the guy for real. In some traditions, this is done with some very young guy (usually a child) within the family of the deceased husband.

Na fooolish tradition wey no make sense .

Although I know the news is false and the publisher will soon be on his heels for fabricating this kind fake news about Betty the fiery queen .

iamoyindamola:
Why is nelson starting
That one go they run pass ball, I am not confident with him
Nice to rest rice too

He's the only natural replacement for Saka . It will be unfair if Jesus starts at RW ahead of Nelson .

We go manage am like that noni

Kiwior rested , Saka rested, Martinelli rested and Jorginho rested

hensben:
Because you guys mostly rely on team performance to judge players so I have to say that for peace to reign. But in actual sense nothing spectacular that Bellingham is doing more than Palmer currently. There is a reason most sport pundit are comparing them individually.

So It was team performance that made Bellingham excel at Dortmund and still making him excel at Real Madrid abi?



U've got jokes bro

hensben:
They don’t even play same wing. You are the one saying that. Im talking of Foden and Saka, mostly Foden always look lost for English national team. Btw, Bellingham is better now because of his team position not because of individual performance.

In ur initial post on this matter u literally said Palmer is better than Bellingham. After small probing u agreed Bellingham was actually better. Now u are saying Bellingham is only better because of his team's position(whatever that means) and not because of his individual performance.

Bellingham is literally England's best player at the moment. Let Palmer continue with his fine form and he will get opportunity to prove himself at the national team level.

mostob:
You said he planned to defend from the onset yet the same you said he changed tactic in the first half. Person wey plan to defend dey change tactic? make it make sense.

Lewis is a fullback not a midfielder.

Your argument is leaky bro especially that last paragraph. Are Liverpool and City the same team? Do they play the same way? Have you forgot how we sometimes labour hard to defend against an inferior team?

Fact is you overrated Arsenal's chance against City, you got disappointed and came here to start the 'We planned to defend' argument.

The bold is the long & short of the whole thing. It's expectations that's making him start the "we played to draw" agenda

larride:
The annoying part was when Toranaga half brother wanted to give that useless son the order to commit seppuku and the werey stretch hand wan collect ham.

The way Toranaga shout for him head ehn, e be like make I enter the film slap the idiot boy head.

Unfortunate the werey still died from his foolishness.

He is just a fooolish son to a wise father

Spy360:
Yes. And I believe that if we had taken the game to them we would have beaten them because on that day we were better physically and tactically. Arteta realised it later on when we started pressing high but there wasn't enough time and the boys already had a defensive mindset and that was why passes in the final third wasn't very smooth especially with the chance Trossard missed.

Liverpool Vs Man City was more open and Liverpool could have won but for bad luck. I felt we missed a golden opportunity.

That's why I said that the way Arteta was happy after the game showed that he was satisfied with the point.

U need to first go and see the set-up/line-up of Man city Vs Loserpool and then check the set-up/Lineups of Man city Vs Arsenal. U will see the set-up's were different.

Arteta is not a foool to be hoping city will play like Luton and allow themselves to be played out of the match.It's funny to see u assume Arteta didn't know he can win city until towards the end of the match

Who told u that was not his plan form the onset?

Spy360:
If it was a boxing match, City would have won on unanimous points decision.

That's because Arsenal would just be blocking punches and City throwing punches until the bell goes.

You will see today against Luton how we would play a high line and press high and pass from the back and score 5goals.

Unfortunately, football is not boxing.

As for ur Last paragraph, that is what is expected. Nobody expected Arsenal to play high line, press high and pass from the back against city. Maybe u did sha

A part of Landmark is going down to pave way for the Coastal high recently announced.

Ellexy:
Despite all the hype and build up around Toronaga since the first episode, there's no ruthlessness about him. He's just been pushed around and bowing the knee at every turn.

Toronaga is a cunning tactician and not a brute. If he was known for his brute force he would've lost his head since. He's walked himself out of near death situations.

I believe we will see him in battle soon

iamoyindamola:
Wait they Dan kill the boy?

He died by dashing his head on the rock when he slipped in a pond/mini jacuzzi. He wanted to kill his father's half-brother who had betrayed the father and was to take the father to the capital to surrender.

The good side of his death is the father will become more ruthless in his scheming's now that he doesn't have the burden of a weak-ass son to carry anymore

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Sweet music to my ears. [/color]

It just looked as if the boy was just destined to die from day one. He just doesn't fit into that Toranada family.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I never watch Shogun since Episode 4.

How is my Anjin and Mariko doing? Has she started feeling nauseous in the mornings?

The Rookie got me hooked for now.[/color]

Mariko's husband don go report say he no like the way Anjin dey look him wife . Toranada asked if he's officially accusing his wife of infidelity? Baba quickly retrace his step and withdrew the implied accusation.

Toranada asked Mariko after her husband left if there was anything between her and Anjin and she said nothing beyond what he instructed her to do. She come carry manipulation enter the game by requesting that Toranada free her of her misery by ordering her to commit seppuku. Baba declined her request sha.

Toranada's son that u called for his papa to kill don finally die. His stupidity disguised as bravery killed him eventually. He wanted to prove to himself by killing his father's half brother, but he slipped in the pond and knack his head on a big rock.

First a partner in Wole Olanipekun's chambers was charged with misconduct sometimes back and she had to quit the law profession sometimes around last year or two years ago if I remember correctly.

Now Wole Olanipekun's name is being enmeshed in bribe-giving allegations with an EFCC case.

https://www.nairaland.com/8050115/offem-uket-efcc-sacks-prosecutor

One may ask where is the connection in two cases; it may seem far fetched but the connection is right there. The first case was involving Sapiem Nigeria and Rivers state govt. The rivers state government alleged fraud to the tune of $130m on the part of Sapiem and the Case being handled by Henry Ajumogobia for Sapiem.

Now Wole Olanipekun's partner wrote a letter to Sapiem asking them to appoint them as the defence lawyer while discarding the services of Ajumogobia their current lawyer. Read carefully an excerpt of the letter

I believe that you need a more influential lawyer/law firm to prevent a potential huge payout to the Rivers State Government and without a doubt, I believe that my law firm, Wole Olanipekun & Co., can help in this regard

Ajumogobia was livid, he petitioned their professional body for this misconduct and Wole Olanipekun's partner took the fall for it (since she authored the letter) and her principal disowned her.

Now EFCC is claiming one of their prosecutors may have collected bribe from Wole Olanipekun (the defense lawyer on the Malabu oil scandal) to sabotage their case against the suspects.

Things dey happen for this country o.

hensben:
Okay Bellingham is better but not that much. In any season both can be better than each other is my point.

Since u agree he's better, then why do u have issues with the coach selecting the better player?

Semid4lyfe please we need ur attention here. We have a case of derailment in this thread over issues that do not concern the purpose of this thread.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I noticed that states with upcoming elections had ridiculous low budgets too

Edo and Anambra.

Ondo was high, maybe because no be Lucky push am.
[/color]

Hmmm.... That's one theory sha.

I guess we need to see their full budgets to know what is taking more allocation than education. For example we've once discussed how Obaseki didn't do much construction and the roads being in shambles. Maybe na this 2024 him day break and he decided to pump funds into capital road projects.

Soludo too has been talking tough on construction ; so he may be matching talk with allocation

GloriousGbola:
so you look at an uncouth bully and say yes - i want people to look at me like that? i want people to walk around me on eggshells?
i want a reputation of backwardness and intolerance?

that is an odd way of thinking. you are supposed to feel sorry for muslims, not aspire to be looked at like them . unless as an african you subscribe to the violence makes right philiosphy

I think u are missing the whole point of CAN's protest. CAN as a body understood the message FIRS was passing(which was a harmless one), but CAN is concerned that the message can be subject to different interpretations.

CAN also believe FIRS is a non-religious organization and should remain one by not involving itself in a matter that can be seen to offend the sensibilities of one religious group or another.

FIRS did really well with their apology with excerpt below and in my opinion that should be the end of the matter instead of trying to draw comparison between two religious group as to which is more tolerant.

FIRS, as a responsible agency, has no religion and will not bring down any religion or offend the sensibilities of adherents of various faiths in the country. Our goal is to assess, collect and account for revenue for the wellbeing of the Federation. We believe it is an investment in the progress of the country when citizens pay their taxes. Once again, we wish to apologise to CAN and Christians who felt offended at the unintended consequence of our message on Easter Sunday.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Why is Anambra state 36 billion?[/color]

Maybe because most indigenes would rather learn a trade(which most of them are successful at ) than go through the formal education route to earn a living. So the state cut their budget to only cater for the few people interested in formal education

Itsrm:
To be fair, the MD of NNPC has always maintained that the refineries are not there to reduce price. He said it will ensure availability and that's all. It's NLC and IPMAN that keeps selling the dream that price will reduce.

Hmmmm.

This country no dey understand person again. IPMAN and NLC kept speaking on behalf of the government and Dangote; instead make dem correct the wrong impression they allowed it to go on for as long as possible since it serves their agenda.

I sha know that when Dangote's PMS eventually hit the market people will see that they've been living a dream concerning reduction in pump price

zeusis:
In all competitions bro
Bellingham should be 31
Palmer 30

Okay, u are right. Thanks for the correction

Itsrm:
I was going to post the same thing. And that 1225 is if you buy above 1m litres. The price is between 1225-1300.

They have kuku always maintained that the refinery will not reduce price.

We will see what happens when he starts selling petrol. Either the government will pay him subsidy or they tell us price will reduce as more refineries come on board due to competition

It's only a matter of time before propaganda fall on its face. I don't know why governments in Africa find it difficult to tell their people the truth for what they are.

If our investment as a country into Dangote refinery is just for federal government to be shareholder that earns dividend from a private company, the government should just come out and admit it.

All of these propaganda here and there about PMS or AGO price reducing should be quashed. Let's know federal government is not involve in this joint venture to bring down price of petroleum products.

Eunoiaa:
This is not about reaching any destination but the PRESENT state of the thread and your own IMAGINARY predictions about it.


If the thread will not go to the dogs because of their barking, then it certainly won't go to ruins because of me throwing stones back at them.


If you overlooked me being "doxxed" and did not think that worthy enough of the thread being closed down, then you have no moral standing to condemn my reaction to it. Rather, by keeping quiet because it was 'none of your business', you emboldened the troll to keep coming here since it knows that the majority of people in here will not say anything/will cheer it on with likes. I mean, it thinks "I" am the only one responsible for getting it banned. Not because it was publicly criticized for doing so. So please, miss me with the virtuous pontifications.

Abi what's that quote about "evil" prevailing because good people kept quiet too? Ehen. If dem lock this thread because it got overran by trolls, every single of you will be responsible for it as much as I am.



But it's me that wants to "ruin" the thread uno.


That's the way it does o. Goes about on every abd any thread quoting you, but it's not the one behind the trolling I've been receiving.

Okay.

If u would keep being like this by bringing unnecessary derailing to the thread (over issues we don't know and do not care about how it started elsewhere) ; I believe the regulars will do well to report ur posts as spam/derailment to the mods going forward.

hensben:
I said that because they are equal in goals involvement as we speak, so they cancelled each other out in that aspect.

How are they equal in goal involvement?

Bellingham currently has 30 G/A and Palmer has 20G/A this season. How did 20 cancel 30 out ?

Before u say 10 is not much, just know that some attackers even struggle to get 10 G/A in a season

GloriousGbola:
Well, you can argue that diesel is not subsidized. And that that hits the generators of the rich.

Also the wealthy at least in lagos are paying more for electricity via tiering. If you are on a higher tier you can get 18 hours of guaranteed light per day, which is cheaper and more reliable than a diesel generator

I didn't say rich like private businessmen who invested their wealth of experience, family/generational wealth, etc into the private sector to make money for themselves and co-investors. I said political office holders who obviously get into political office just to help themselves to tax payers money. People who don't face hardship but apportion hardship allowances to themselves steady because they can
