and yet tambuwai emerge against then party interest mukailat...u guys have selective amnesia...nass is not apc property...de shd allow d pole decide

And did it not happen in 2015 to APC too?

Now, they have the opportunity to correct the coup of 2015.

NASS is not APC's property but the top seats are, at least for the present.

udemzyudex:
Buhari is incompetent,no need to consider.

History will repeat itself,if we fail learn from it.

No need to consider other factors? Did you go to school at all? So, in a big democracy like ours, no need to consider the inputs of the NASS? Why do we practise federalism then?

I think you are the incompetent one here. You are driven by emotions. You hate Buhari so much you are hoping that Nigeria burns down.

Esseite:
Stop being emotional or partisan, the facts are there to compare and contrast.

Emotional? I think that word fits you.

I have not seen the facts. So, show them to me. Provide a link.

Science did not just convince me that the earth is round by just stating it. They showed me available facts got from years of studies.

I am a mathematician. I work with figures, not emotions.

SarkinYarki:
Just Imagine the presidency openly boasting that it wants to influence the election in an independent house and yet Zombies want is to believe they didn't influence INEC to rig the elections in their favour .

Where was it written or said in the article that the president openly boasted about wanting to influence elections in the houses?

dokyOloye:
Stupid,unintelligent,low IQ presidency.
What business does d presidency(executive) have with who heads d national assembly (legislature/another arm of govt)?

Reading will not kill you. The president is an APC member and these matters are APC matters. Presidents like Obasanjo and Jonathan had been more involved in the Senate politics than Buhari but yet you people remained dumb during those eras.

udemzyudex:
There are people who shouldn't be licking your a$$

Among them is the senate President,Mr Speaker,Auditor general of the federation etc.

If you have a bad relationship with them,it shows You're not doing your job well.

One-sided as usual. You didn't even bother to consider that the other parties may be the ones not doing the jobs well.

Esseite:
If anything, Saraki's Senate has been the most vibrant we ever had... most recognised internationally, most citizens bill passed.

If Buhari is laying claim on the budget passage, it may interest you to know that since 2015, non of the passed budget was implemented 50%, talk more of 100%..

Maybe just the bad blood and the APC/PDP dichotomy.

Most vibrant? Where is the figure as it compares with past NASS? Except you mean vibrant in the sense of noisemaking and unnecessary dramas unbecoming of senators.

You also wrote "most recognized internationally"?

Well, what do you expect when that particular NASS was full of clowns like Dino Melaye always overdramatizing his personal battles with EFCC, and the dancing Senator and Saraki's bad blood against Buhari which was always evident in pictures.

That goal against Spain in Brazil showed one thing: the brilliance of Van Persie. He created a chance out of nowhere.

You don't see strikers like this all the time. I am lucky that he played in my lifetime.

Davash222:
We’re glorifying suicide these days. Back then, when one commit suicide, the corpse will be dumped at the evil forest. The family will do some sacrifices to appease the gods of the land.


Now, we always blame depression and even give them a befitting burial.

That was in Igbo precolonial era. Nigeria is made up of many tribes and not just the Igbo.

At least in Yorubaland, suicide was largely honorable.

If Okonkwo of Things Fall Apart was a samurai of Japan, he would have been honored for committing suicide rather than letting the white man get him.

Every culture is different on many things.

dokyOloye:
Lolz.
If to say na like dat blood money de take flow, we for done get epidemic of billionaires for afonja land with all the breast and skull mining going on there .

Meanwhile, so you feel say as you de live for US, you are automatically doing well.
Most of you guys there are as rich as d next paycheck, just that our currency is so weak, so anytime dollar is converted to naira,It becomes a big deal.

How are you sure that there is no epidemic of billionaires there? What if their own blood money ritual does not allow them show off. You know when we watch all those ritual movies, everyone used to have a different requirement according to his destiny.

Richdad50:
I have made corrections. Thank you much

You are welcome, bro.

Richdad50:


He is very mistaken and his assertions lack understanding. Slay Queens may not attend mid-weeks but you may well end with one deadlier than a Slayer; the Spiritual Woman.

A spiritual woman lacks basic understanding and is uninstuctable, a hard nut. She is not virtuous and will feed you unhappiness in time to come. She will pray, fast, and sing, but you will be left uncared for.

Follow your heart to the doorsteps of a God-fearing woman or a woman who is teachable. There you will find rest. She will listen to your words and please you. She will rub off on you the genuine love she has for God.

Richdad

You meant the Religious woman

The one who favors religion over everything else, including over Jesus Christ.

She would pick her pastor over her husband anytime any day.

Her understanding of God starts and ends with church duties.

Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.

What shall it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your own soul in hell?

There is only way to Everlasting Life. And the Way is our Lord Jesus Christ.

Are you ready to give your life to Him without holding anything back?

Then say this prayer with conviction:

Oh Lord Jesus Christ, I accept you as my Lord and Savior.

It is as simple and uncomplicated as that. All you need is conviction. Say it and mean it.

God bless you.

RTSC:
I have held leadership positions before.
Following your line of thought it means a Kingsley moghalu despite his supreme resume, is not comparable to buhari because he has never been president before.
Such a shallow line of thought.


Calling a fool, a fool is not overusing it. It is just what it is.

Calling an uninspiring president "lifeless" is also what it is.

We also call him a nepotist, and a bigot. It is unfair to accuse Nigerians of not trying something else.

I have noticed that you are always quick to throw insults. I imagine what a despot you must have been while holding the course rep position that you obviously regard so highly.

Anyway, I will let that slide.

I will rather educate you.

To compare two things, there has to be a basis for comparison.

Moghalu can compare with Buhari education wise. But talking about the top post, there is no basis, at least not yet.

Messi and Anthony Joshua are both sportsmen with impressive resumes. Yet, there is no basis for comparison.

It is foolish to say that Messi is greater than Anthony Joshua because he has more accolades.

Moghalu has an impressive resume of leadership roles. But every leadership role is different from the other.

If he goes into an election against Buhari and he convinces people with his programs, he would be voted based on his manifesto and not that he is better than Buhari.

For something to be better than something, there has to be a basis for comparison.

RTSC:
Calling an uninspiring president "lifeless" is witty.
In the daily mail, he could be called a plank. It's the same thing.

In fact, I dare say buhari would be eviscerated in the British media far more bitterly than in Nigeria.
They take no prisoners there and they have no respect for uninspiring elders.
And they are certainly not as sycophantic as you.

Asking me if I am better than buhari. That is like asking if heaven is better than hell.

Obviously, you are not getting it.

There is nothing witty about an overused line. Try something new or try new reactions to foreign news.

They mention Mugabe, you all run there and start screaming "Better than the lifeless one".

You are not better than Buhari because there is no basis for comparison. You have not held any such significant responsibility by which we can judge your level of competence.

RTSC:
Go to daily mail and see the way English people lambast their leaders with style.

You would be grateful that buhari is not a Brit.

Be careful what you wish for. They don't tolerate the likes of buhari in Britain.

They are witty and gracious with it. They have good sense of humor and it allows them make witty passes.

But in Nigeria, it is the same lame overused comparison.

As for tolerating Buhari in Britain, how do you think many of you would be tolerated in Britain? Or you all think you are better than Buhari with all those witless lines?

Let us even narrow it down, you think any of you would be tolerated on that comment section with those lame recycled and predictable lines?

BlacSmit:
Lively leader vs lifeless leader that's sneaking from one hospital to another

Expectedly, someone will compare her to Buhari.

See the maturity with which people reacted to the news. But in Nigeria, it is the same lifeless overused comparison.

enicid:
She left me for a married man in 2014,now she wants me back and this is what the married man did to her this 2019.

How sure are you that it was the married man that did this to her? It could be the married man's wife.

Better don't fall so easily.

Carbon copy of his father.

Kingosytex:
six is one of 9ja's Warri's greatest rappers, his creativity, wordplays and punchlines are second to none.


it baffles me that six is grossly underated in this country.

anyway, say no to cultism, it kills!!

Fixed!!

frozen70:
It goes bact to my statement

I said and I quote,

"until you keep a woman in the house as a wife, you won't understand"

I understand perfectly well. Can I tell you a secret?

Never mind.

frozen70:
You said you will put a sensible woman at home,
Have you seen any man that got to a senseless woman ❓

That's why I said you walk away if things are not working out in marriage

Lastly, you can't predict how virtues a woman is until you start living with her and the challenges of marriage starts coming up

The ability of the couple to handle marriage crisis is what make them complecent

Now, you are talking. Initially, you made it seem like crisis management was the sole responsibility of the man.

You are right that some women can be pretenders until you marry them.

That was why I used the word hopefully

It means that I hope that the woman I marry would be sensible.

stanliwise:
Hahaha I am currently laughing at your reaction to my english class tease.
No problem, we seem to be on same page. peace.

Yes, bro. It is good to argue things out. One thing about me is that I like to challenge people rather than join the more popular view.

stanliwise:
stop making 2+2 = 5.
There is no law that recognize violence as a return for violence. if something violently attack you, as much as you can suppress the violent person either by few hand fist and struggle, you should head to on your heels. Don't wait to kill or beat the person to pulp to prove a point you're returning violence. it is place of the security to do that. If not you would be made to bear responsibility of your actions, no one will hear you out.
lastly, attend any English class close by. from the context I painted in my last post your conclusion was that I supported violence...amazing

I think you need the English class more.

I wrote that you appear to support. I didn't write that you support. When something appears to look like something, it doesn't necessarily mean that it looks like that thing or that it is that thing.

As for human reactions, it is easier to judge people's reactions. It is easier to say "he shouldn't have done this or that".

Although I support that one must run from violence because the law only recognizes the victim (the battered person) even if she/he was the aggressor.

introvertme:
With regards to the topic,Verbal abuse wouldn't land you In jail, physical abuse would. No need for this mental gymnastics that you're doing.

If I call you an assholee and you call me a cuntt,we wouldn't end up in jail.

If I pummel your face ,I would end up in jail for assault.

Who said anything about jail or no jail or what constitutes assault as defined by law?

Maybe you should take your time and read my post over and over again so that you can understand that my argument passes no judgment but intends to look at domestic violence holistically.

You are the one who has introduced a legal dimension to the argument.

I don't think there is anyone here who has denied that this is a case of battery.

frozen70:
Every marriage is facing crisis and has the possibilities to lead to domestic violence

But the man's ability to prevent it is what makes the difference


Until you put a woman at home, you won't have the experience

You are not being sincere. It takes two to tango. Crisis management in the family is not the work of the husband alone. You cannot be a peaceful man and manage crisis with a troublesome woman. Things would fall apart. Even the Bible says that it is better to live on the rooftop than with a quarrelsome woman.

Hopefully, I will put a sensible woman at home. I want my woman to be mature enough to allow herself to be held accountable for her quota to family building. I don't like blamers who never examine their own contributions but would be quick to blame their spouse.

introvertme:
No proof was provided that showed that she wasn't violently,till then we can only assume that he was the violent one due to how common violence on women by men in Nigeria is.

Secondly, If she was verbally abusive the man still had every right to do the same not retaliate with physical abuse.

You shouldn't read my post in isolation. You should read it alongside the post it was meant for.

As per your second paragraph, you ended up reinforcing violence.

In other words, you are not against domestic violence, but against physical violence. It makes you come across as a hypocrite. More like "don't throw rocks for stones; throw stones for stones".

frozen70:
You have not made a point here

Women have been nagging from Adam,
When eve was giving Adam apple he refused until she nagged and nagged then he accept it

Every man must learn how to manage a woman

They are weaker sex but their weapon is their mouth

What's the prude if a man beats a woman ❓

Just walk away if she loves you she will look for you

Beating a woman gives you a bad name despite her being at fault

I am not supporting the women, but understand that even your own sisters do things that will make you pull the trigger, yet you won't do that

Eve nagged Adam? Never heard about that. So, you people have gone further to look for more excuses to reinforce bad behaviors.

Moreover, I thought there are ways women make men do their bidding without nagging? Some use sweet words; some rub the man on the head. But because you are a nag, you decided that Eve must have nagged Adam into eating the fruit.

Anyway, I have written mine. Your mentality can never make domestic violence end. Continue to blame men while reinforcing bad behaviors from women. We shall see if that would end domestic violence.

stanliwise:
You're not qualified to advocate for the devil, you lack qualities of an advocate.
please please please what sort of naive write up is this. who beat someone to stupor and claims it is right because the other person was violent. try it with my sister or any of my kind andyou will be on the hospital bed or I will sue you and we will fight all day in court.
If you can supress someone fine, little bruises and struggle is enough to suppress a violent women before you can for help. who beat someone to stupor.

Another emotional human being. Bro, take it easy o. It is even people like you who are prone to abuse women.

And as for the highlighted part of your post, I don't really understand.

Perhaps, you meant to ask who beats someone to stupor for being the aggressor

You must watch your words because you appear to be supporting violence.

frozen70:
I have said it severally

Marriage is not by force

Ladies learn to stay away from those stray dogs who derived joy beating women


It's better to be a single mother living happily with yourself than to be married living miserably

Person wey don die no dey explain wetin happen

You see why the problem lingers.

No word of advice for women except one that demonizes one party.

You people make it seem like men have to do all the work in a marriage. The man has to be the mature one, the one who must walk away from a conflict, the one who must not show his anger even when the woman is showing hers through nagging. The man must be the angel, the perfect one who must absorb everything without displaying the characteristics of a human being (one of which is anger).

We never hear any of you say on no condition should a woman nag her spouse or that a woman should walk away when a fight starts.

A woman nags for hours. You give excuse that that is how God made women. Instead of you to condemn the act, you reinforce it by making it seem like it is the nature of women which cannot be changed. But when a man reacts with a slap, you call him a demon.

Sincerely, domestic violence will not end with our insincere attempt to end it.

Piercy:
Madam honestly your words seem to take me off balance ,really you would regard a woman's tantrums or nagging attitude as been violent ,really would you as a woman be okay with a man who exchanges blows for words ?
Been a man is our ability to restrain or control our emotions and the actions we take in regards to them madam, once a man can't do that he seizes to be a man ,madam you are not supporting a man you are supporting a beast and a disgrace to we men.
Good day.

You are being emotional

First of all, issues like spousal abuse are not solved by being emotional. We can only solve it by being practical and realistic.

It is emotional and rather dishonest to downplay emotional abuse in your bid to demonize physical abuse. You yourself said violence is violence.

Why are you changing mouth now


Moreover, if someone runs their mouth, they don't have any moral right to decide how the other person reacts.

Violence is violence, according to you earlier.

Piercy:
first and foremost I can't believe you are a woman am sorry to say ,second and lastly for all that is sane and civilized why on earth would you do this to a woman you intend to marry in fact ogini why would you do this to any human and still feel good about yourself.
Jesus , if you can't stand it then tell her to leave don't damage her beyond repair.
....and you even had the guts to add maybe she has been doing worse to him hmmmmm I know you said #justsaying but this coming from you is certified crap.
....violence is violence ...

you want to act like a man go out there , find a any random guy who you don't like and start throwing blows with him .

what on earth is wrong with we men and our anger , if he kills her tomorrow he will sing it was the devil , damn it.

Let me be the devil's advocate.

You wrote that violence is violence.

But what proof do you have that she was not violent herself?

Second, supposing she was not physically violent, what if she had been verbally violent?

After all, according to you, violence is violence.
