Nothing to learn in that movie….
Very annoying.
Kanayo didn’t do the right thing…..you can’t settle someone before your manager….very wrong,no matter what!!
Yes paulo Was stealing from him but his settlement must come first before that of Afam….
He must not bestow the same honor or amount on them but Paulo must be settled first!!

Afam too shouldn’t have collected Paul’s gf from him….the girl saw him and decided to follow Paul…..why should I settle for less?

Afam fathered another man son and was comfortable with it….even allow himself to be blackmailed because of the child…

Nothing dy there to learn but the Igbo language was good sha.
On the contrary, here are a few things to learn from the movie, you have already alluded to number 3 and number 5.

Let Bako current age = x
five years ago Bako is x-5

Let Mother current age = y= 35yrs
Five years ago mom's age was 6times son's age
y-5 =6(x-5)
35-5= 6x-30
6x= 60
x=10
I) x = Bako current age= 10
From their current ages mom will ALWAYS be 25 years older than Bako, therefore b = a +25, a and b now variables a for bako age , b for mom's age.

ii) Mom's age for Bako at 5 ,a =5, b=?
b= 5+25 =30

iii) Bako age for mom at 50, b=50, a=?
50 =a +25
a= 50-25 = 25

iv) Mom's age for Bako at birth, a=0 b=?
b = 0+25 = 25

v) age difference= b-a = 25

Just in case your younger one ask for explanation
Science/TechnologyRe: I Need Brains Here....i Mean Boiling Encephalon!! by BRIGHT180(m): 12:15am On Apr 23, 2022
First time dilation is a phenomenon where time passes at different rates depending on gravity and velocity.

But the effects are not so drastic as to make five earth years(cause the concept of "a year" differ with planets) equal 50 space years (65-15)

The fact is the International Space Station which simulates actual space slows down by 7 thousandths of a second every six months. For five years that would mean a loss of (10/7000) second, Basically the difference is negligible.

Five years in space is five years on earth. The information on the picture is WRONG.

Nothing exuberant here since he has met all the target in his contract as regards qualifications sacking him will mean paying all his salaries ( $45,000 per month) for the time remaining on his contract i.e till end of 2022 also factoring in the months we owe him alongside other severance package.

We only escape this banana peel in the unfortunate event that we don't make it to the Afcon final then we have legal grounds to sack him at no cost.

You are likely about to be caught up in the "learners trap" rather than try to learn every programming language out there
pick a problem you will like to solve or in the broader sense a field you want to specialize
Then learn the software(s) (in the direction of the the problem to be solved) needed to solve that problem
The learn how to monetize that skill

so don't jump into any class until you can say I want to learn e.g data analytics, machine learning, web design etc

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Can You Answer These Tricky Job Interview Questions From Apple Inc? by BRIGHT180(m): 6:32pm On Apr 14, 2021
Psoul:
I saw this Interview Questions on Glassdoor and I just felt it might be very useful to some of us given that most companies especially in Nigeria like copying these big tech guys. We all know that Apple is one of the biggest Tech companies in the World and to get a job there wouldn’t be so easy.

Glassdoor decided to make this easy by providing some questions Apple Inc uses to select their employees – I would be revealing 3 questions here that I feel are more brain tasking and require more brain knowledge. Is your brain equipped to answer these Apple’s Job Interview Questions? If Yes? Let’s do this smiley

1. How many children are born every day?

2. If you have 2 eggs, and you want to figure out what’s the highest floor from which you can drop the egg without breaking it, how would you do it? What’s the optimal solution?

3.You have 100 coins laying flat on a table, each with a head side and a tail side. 10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can’t feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up. Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.”

4. There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?

So who can answer any?
1. Two (Male and female)

2. The OPTIMAL solution is the Ground floor even though they could be a height just slightly above the ground in which in it wouldn't break( e.g in petroleum production you may have the capacity to produce maximally at a certain flow rate but at that flow rate you are NOT SURE about the safety of your drill pipes you then rather use a OPTIMAL flow rate (lower than maximum flow rate) where you are SURE of the safety of your drill pipes and downhole equipment) that optimal flow rate is akin to the ground floor in our question the only place we are sure the egg wouldn't break

3. Separate them into two pile of fifty each( every coin has a head and tail)

4. If I pick an apple and it is labelled apples I replaced the labelling with apples and oranges then swap the other two labelling (they are all labelled wrongly) if it were labelled apple and arrange I replace the labelling with apples and swap the other two. The same plays out if I pick an orange

kalu61:
The day you these feminist recognize that nature by it wisdom has place man above women and everything has been program by nature to that effect. No amount of civilization will eradicate that until the universe is recreated. Even the almighty bible neglected to census women.

Nations needs men in the millitry
Men will continue to invade and take over territories.
Women and children need men for protection.

Have you asked why the female population is almost double of men?
Have you asked why the male spermatozoa has little competitive swimming disadvantage?

The woman was made for the man

Even females, wife, mothers know the importance of a male child in the society and are co culprit in the so called abortion.

When a wife is yet to get a male child in this part of the world, them go cool like pure water but immediately male child lands, wahala for who marry bad wife grin

Even though you almost balanced your statement but it didn't hide the objective
There was a time when physical strength mattered a lot for survival and by extension leadership this favoured the male folks and it MADE sense those times are long gone intellectual capacity is now a key decider in survival and leadership tell me when both genders are born what is in the male child to say he is/would be smater than his female counterpart

Talking scripture a man isn't a leader of everybody in skirt that right ends with his wife and family even then looking through Ephesians 5 he has to be her head the exact same way Christ heads the church by LOVE AND SACRIFICE
PoliticsRe: Metuh: Appeal Court Nullifies Dasuki’s Indictment by BRIGHT180(m): 7:53pm On Dec 16, 2020
d33types:
In the process some Northern Christian political and religious leaders became captives to the spell of anti-Jonathan ritual-cow syndrome and consequently became the willing political tools of the Caliphate’s evil machinations, mostly through the Episcopal exertions of the Northern-led Roman Catholic Church of which the Metropolitan Archbishop of Abuja the Okun Yoruba-born John Cardinal Onaiyekan, the Taraba State Kona-born President of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, the Kaduna State-born Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Sokoto Bishop Matthew Kukah, and the Tiv-born former Governor of Benue State Senator George Akume.

The first strategy adopted by the Caliphate in recruiting these willing Christian quislings was to sow the seed of discord among the Nigerian Christian family. In pursuing this strategy they found a willing tool in the person of John Cardinal Onaiyekan the Episcopal head of Abuja Catholic Archdiocese and titular head of the Roman Catholic flock in Nigeria. John Cardinal Onaiyakan was quick in accepting to be a quisling to the Caliphate’s design to sow the seed of discord among the Nigerian Christendom which ultimately paved the way for the failed attempt to destroy Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s reputation as President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the eventual scuttling of President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid for obvious personal reasons.

First, he saw it as an opportunity to cut his own pound of flesh from Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor who according to him master-minded his failed bid for second-term in office as President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) by opting to challenge him and eventually defeating him in the election that followed. But the same John Cardinal Onaiyekan forgot that his election as CAN President in the first indtance was the result of his scuttling of the second-term bid of the Primate of Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) Most Reverend Peter Akinola for the same reason of under-performance.

Furthermore, it is instructive to note that Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor did not in the first place indicate any intetest to challenge John Cardinal Onaiyekan for the CAN Presidency but was only invited to take the mantle of leadership by the Northern caucus of the Christian Association of Nigeria of which John Cardinal Onaiyekan was a member, who saw the latter’s unrestricted cuncubinage with the Caliphate utterly embarrassing at the detriment of the collective interests of the Northern Christians.

The second reason why John Cardinal Onaiyekan easily fell prey to the Caliphate sinister political motives was his ridiculous belief that even though he is a Yoruba by ethnic definition from Okun sub-ethnic group in Kogi State, he proudly sees himself as a Northerner first with the sumptuous carriage of an Ahmadu Bello protégé in the manner of his Okun kinsman Chief Sunday Awoniyi and the Okene-born Alhaji Abdulrahman Okene of Ebira ethnic extraction. John Cardinal Onaiyekan was reported one time eulogizing Sir Ahmadu Bello for offering him scholarship, which he skipped in place of Roman Catholic priesthood. Thus from all intents and purposes his primary allegiance neither goes to his Yoruba root nor his Christian vocation but to the Caliphate.

Thirdly, the leadership of the Caliphate was quick to exploit this deep-seethed sentiment against Pastor Oritsejafor by John Cardinal Onaiyekan which had already infested the greater part of the Roman Catholic clergy. Through what they concocted as Protestant domination of the Nigerian political scene against the Roman Catholics, the Caliphate invited the Roman Catholic leadership to ally with them against President Goodluck Jonathan who is an Anglican, with the promise of their support for a Roman Catholic Vice President or President of the Federation as the case may be. This agreement actually played out when Alhaji Atiku Abubakar over-turned all PDP Party rules and agreements decided to pick Mr. Peter Obi as his Vice Presidential Running-mate against popular Party decision. Indeed Peter Obi schemed his way through the Roman Catholic leadership, presenting himself as the champion of Roman Catholic political revolution in the Southeast which led the latter to present him to Atiku Abubakar as their choice candidate.

Fourth and finally, John Cardinal Onaiyekan was reminded of the long-standing Caliphate magnanimity to the Roman Catholic Church when the Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region approved against all opposition by Sultan Abubakar and other prominent Sokoto Caliphate religious leaders the establishment of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto on June 16, 1964, whereas it was only in 1990 that the Anglican Church was permitted to upgrade to a Diocese. Thus it was incumbent for the Roman Catholic leadership to reciprocate by joining their onslaught against President Goodluck Jonathan.

In pursuing the above objectives the Cardinal opted to operate from the background by delegating the anti-Oritsejajor and Jonathan onslaughts to his subordinates led by the Archbishop of Jos and now his successor-Metropolitan Archbishop of Abuja Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama. But that was not before he fired the first shot in January 2013 when he threatened to pull the Roman Catholic Church out the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for what he claimed was Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s closeness to President Goodluck Jonathan, but which was in fact part of his calculated objectives within the Caliphate scheme to divide the Nigerian Christian body and in the process issolate the body from President Goodluck Jonathan.

John Cardinal Onaiyekan’s mutinous statement sent cold shivers down the spines of many concerned Christians but none was able to overtly come out to confront the seemingly invincible Roman Catholic Potentate. It took the President of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) the now late Dr. Frederick Faseun to urgently invite the present writer for a strategic deliberation on the consequences of John Cardinal Onaiyekan’s Judasian statement. The result was the present writer’s feature article on the January 31, 2013 issue of the Vanguard newspaper which momentarily put the planned exit in an uneasy state of abbeyance.

After effectively getting the Roman Catholic leadership into their ship of political Armageddon, the Caliphate decided to to launch one of their biggest conspiracies against Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor through the office of the Chief Security Adviser to the President, Col Samdo Dasuki. As the chief procurement officer for special arms in the Presidency Dasuki decided to clandestinely seek for the lease of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s semi-commercialised aircraft for a stage-managed arm purchase in South Africa. Pastor Oritsejafor on the knowledge that his aircraft was being hired by the Presidency thought it was a favour coming from President Goodluck Jonathan. But unknown to him it was a political bubby-trap set for him by the Caliphate in conspiracy with the Roman Catholic clergy-leadership through Sambo Dasuki without the knowledge of President Jonathan.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who had been promised to take over from Muhammadu Buhari after the latter’s first term of office was effective in linking up the plan with his friend and South African President Jacob Zuma. Both men had become very close friends when they were both Vice Presidents. Both had the same clandestine ambitions to succeed their Presidents. While Jacob Zuma succeeded in his bid against President Thabo Mbeki, Atiku Abubakar failed in his bid to either unseat or succeed President Olusugun Obasanjo. Indeed both men were suspended almost at the height of their ambitions by their respective political parties—ANC and PDP. Both have equally exchanged visits both official and private. In later years Atiku Abubakar was to act as President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Envoy to President Jacob Zuma. So it wasn’t a coincidence that South Africa was chosen as the hatchet country for the plan.

Ordinarily special arm purchases by most countries are carried out with raw cash due to their secrecy and often pass through coadunate Secret Service links of the purchasing and supplying countries. In other words, the Presidency should not have sent out the sum of 9.3 million US dollars for purchase of arms in the Republic of South Africa without the formal knowledge of the South African Government and Secret Service. Indeed that was actually done but this time for the purpose of blackmailing the owner of the courier aircraft and embarassing President Goodluck Jonathan. The idea being, as in the theory of vile propaganda, sell the story and wait till it sinks into the minds of the people before telling the truth about it. That was the strategy and it worked out perfectly for them.

Working in concert with the Roman Catholic leadership and to drive the embarrassment deeper into the homebase of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor the 5th of September 2014 was chosen as the D-Day for the operation, and for that reason the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria under the Presidency of Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama chose to hold their meeting the same date in Warri, the homebase of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. Thus it was a calculated plan for the Catholic Bishops to learn about the news of the abortive use of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s Aircraft for illegal arms purchase by the Presidency while holding their annual Conference in Warri. But the question which most people failed to ask at that time was, can the Presidency engage on illegal arms purchase?

It was interesting if not ridiculous to note that it took the Presidency close to two weeks to clear the air about the truth of the arms purchase saga, enough time for the damaging news to sink down the gullible minds of most Nigerians. That was indeed after Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor had battled on his own to clear his name from the calculated mess. But then the objective having been achieved it soon became the platform for the open vilification of the person of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor thereby putting the entire body of Christian Association of Nigeria in a terrible momentary shock nationwide. For the Roman Catholic leadership however it afforded them the opportunity as planned to commence their onslaught against both Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor and President Goodluck Jonathan.

The first onlaughr came from the retired Archbishop of Lagos Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie who loudly accused President Goodluck Jonathan of inept leadership and corruption and advised him not to run for a second term. He then turned to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor and not minding his position as the President of Christian Association of Nigeria rained unprintable insults on him concluding that Pastor Oritsejafor had “finished himself” and “fallen from grace to grass”, for no other reason than being close to President Goodluck Jonathan.

The former Governor of Benue State Senator George Akume acting under the commission of his religious potentates described Pastor Oritsejafor as “clearly criminal, immoral and unethical.” For Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, acting under the commission of his Caliphate memtors, used unprintable names against the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria which under no circumstance a Christian would call a Muslim religious leader, describing Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor as “an irresponsible leader.”

From that stage the baton was handed over to Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama who became the official APC Ecclesiastical Chief Campaign Officer with his Episcopal House outreach to President Muhammadu Buhari. Indeed as Archbishop Kaigama evidently stated in 2016, “we needed change and it came by the Person of President Buhari.”To bring in some Protestant colourings in the anti-Oritsejafor campaign one renegade Protestant clergyman named Pastor Kallamu Ali Dikwa who claimed to be the Executive Director of Voice of Northern Christian Movement was recruited by Archbishop Kaigama to sell the phantom 7 billion naira campaign bribe to Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) by the Presidency. Pastor Ali Dikwa was to later apologise to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor for the damaging falsehood through Pastor Emmanuel Bosun.

For Archbishop Kaigama however, the launching of anti-Oritsejafor/Jonathan campaign in the South was to be undertaken with great caution because of the high state of pro-Jonathan sentiment among the people. But at the end a convenient tool was found in the person of Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka who came with a bang in his now infamous clandestine Homily code-named “From Goodluck to Badluck” on December 31, 2014. The other priests and the Knighthood wing of the Church were cautiously implored to work in tandem with Father Mbaka’s venomous utterances by subtly desuading their members from turning out en mass for the 2015 General elections in order to reduce the chances of President Goodluck Jonathan securing enough votes in the South. That was indeed what happened.

The calculation of the Caliphate was that President Jonathan would definitely reject the result of the Presidential election which would then pave way for the planned mayhem against the Christians with the already stock-piled illegal arms which would then would have served to provide the massive human blood needed to atone the rituals of the buried live-cow. It should be noted that as far back as 2013 illegal arms had been streaming into the country in massive order with the connivance of Northern political and religious leadership and the present writer was privileged to warn the Federal Government of the impending danger during the Channels Televion morning programme “Sunrise” on April 11, 2013.

Fortunately against the opinions of all doubting Thomases, President Goodluck Jonathan as if moved under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit refused to be used as the conduit for the spilling of the blood of innocent Nigerians when he dramatically accepted his defeat in good fate. Although celebrated widely, that decision did not go down well with the Northern leaders. Indeed signs that Nigerians will live to re-pay for the unatoned blood of the ritual-cow began to emerge with the September 24 2015 Hajj stampede in Mina Saudi Arabia where Nigeria recorded 74 victims out of a total 717 victims.

But then the twin-problem of what to do with the stock-piled illegal arms and where to source the ritual blood as required by the buried live-cow remained unresolved. Here again one can explain the rise of the muderous armed Fulani herdsmen with their atrocious activities, of which the people of Southern Kaduna, the States of Benue, Plateau and Enugu were the greatest victims, as well as the surging banditry in Katsina and Zamfara States and, the now daily occurrences of massive kidnappings along the major highways in Northern Nigeria.

In January 2017, following the genocidal killings in Southern Kaduna in which more than 200 defenceless citizens were killed, the leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) under Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor called for one day fasting and prayer in honour of the victims. To prove the insensitivity of the Roman Catholic leadership and their marked collusion with the Caliphate John Cardinal Onaiyekan came out to publicly denounce the one day fasting and prayer in honour of the Southern Kaduna victims of Fulani herdsmen massacre ordering the Roman Catholics not to be part of the activity.

The present writer was to again take the bull by the horn by publishing a featured advertotial titled: “Cardinal Onaiyekan, the Southern Kaduna Killings and the Roman Catholic Divisiveness Against the Body of Christ”, respectively on Vanguard, Sun and Leadership newspaper issues of Thursday January 19, 2017. Coupled with the present writer’s anti-islamization suit against the Federal Government at Federal High Court, Asaba, John Cardinal Onaiyekan had to walk straight in person to President Muhammadu Buhari and demanded to know why the present writer was still moving freely with all his anti-government activities. The rest are history as it was only by the act of Providence that he found himself alive today in exile.

Today it appears that the Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor metaphor “Mr. President you’re finished” is no longer applicable within the time and space of present Nigeria. It is indeed right to redefine the metafor as “Mr. President we’re finished”, for although President Goodluck might have been finished from remaining Nigeria’s President, he was however not finished in the actual sense of the phrase, having assumed the role of a Special Envoy to the same people who fought to see his exit from Aso Villa. Those who seem to be the real victims of that metaphor are now the ordinary people with no religious and ethnic distinctions, and the question which arises is who should be blamed?

A tree stands and bears fruit only if supported by the coordinated efforts of the tap and fibrous roots. Today while the Caliphate represents the tap root of the present Federal Government, the Roman Catholic leadership represents the fibrous roots. Many Nigerians are equally aware that Nigeria is run today by two-in-one Presidency. The de jure represented by President Muhammadu Buhari and the de facto represented by the Caliphate through the present Chief of Staff Prof. Ibrahim Gambari.

So it looks ridiculous and phony for a group which describes itself as Northern Elders Forum to demand the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over his inability to arrest the sliding insecurity in the country. How can the tap root of a tree question the same tree over the type of fruit it bears? This is impossible. They know the source of Nigeria’s current problem of widespread insecurity. They know that it is a spiritual problem created by them. And they are very well aware that neither President Muhammadu Buhari nor General Tukur Yusuf Buratai has the solution to the problem, and that even if both men are removed from office today the problem will still persist. The fact is obvious. Any problem generated from a spirtual conclave can only be solved in like spiritual manner. Anyone therefore hoping to resolve such a problem by physical means is only playing the Ostrich.

A Nigerian scam(is an actual phrase and has nothing to do with anyones search history) , also known as advance fee fraud(I must add that according to Wikipedia they are other types of "advance fee fraud")
or 419 fraud, is a scheme in which a sender
requests help in facilitating the transfer of a sum
of money, generally in the form of an email. In
return, the sender offers a commission —a large
amount, sometimes up to several million dollars
depending on the perceived gullibility of the target.
The scammers then request that money be sent to
pay for some of the costs associated with the
transfer. If money is sent to the scammers, they
will either disappear immediately or try to get
more money with claims of continued problems
with the transfer.(investopedia.com)

Dreams are also channel of communication between God and humanity of which the bible is not short of examples.

I suppose your dream is a product of the former and if not it's a good time to put your former school in prayer and/or take out time to share with them the saving grace that God has made available through the lord Jesus Christ that is if you yourself have accepted jesus as Lord and saviour

In the light of the various security threats facing the nation from all angles and in various forms ranging from but not limited to Boko haram and iswap in the north east, banditary and kidnappings in the north west,herder farmer clashes in the north central,cultism,militancy, robbery and kidnapping takes an unfortunate preeminences in the south.These attacks have made many widows, widowers orphans and internally displaced.

The natural response in the face of all this would be to look to our security personnels in union with elected officials to nip it in the bud but republic after republic government after government the security challenges remains unabated with the populace ever loosing faith in governments and security officials ability in terms of manpower and dexterity some go as far as questioning the willingness to effectively tame these leviathans considering that some of these crisis come in ethnic and religious colorations of which many argue arouses bias in the minds of those that should ensure societal decorum.

On this note a host of opinion leaders from both the traditional and religious circles have called for youths to rise up and defend her immediate territorial integrity, defend yourself they call it that is match them weapon for weapon massacre for massacre basically your proverbial kill or be killed, a call as it were to defend to land from any security breach to the death to send out a statement that nobody will come from without to run down your community atleast while they await the messianic state cum community police which will eradicate all our security challenges so they say.

How then can we marry this stance also held by christian leaders with the teachings of our lord Jesus Christ that hinges on love for God and humanity of which 1 corinthians 13 spells out its characteristics and If it doesn't allign where then do Christians draw the line between doctrinal compromise and outright insensitivity to people's plight?

Believing that God sent his son to die for the remission of our sins inputting in us the righteousness of God engrafting us into his family(romans 3,romans 5:17 john 3:16) and be resurrected as the lord over Gods creation and the hope of all that will believe on him(1cor 15) is more than enough to pass you from death to life.(Col. 1:12,13)

The goal therefore should be living out the the life,light and love of God resident in us on account of salvation aided by constant fellowship through his word and prayer and most importantly "turning many to righteousness"

There is constitutionally absolutely nothing wrong with what he has done[Remember you apluad politicians who go to traditional rulers who stand in for the gods for blessings]
The only wrong I see is a man who has reduced his maker to things humans created who thinks he needs an intermediary to talk to GOD that sees every corner of his creation of cause he is a victim of one the many hoax sold by the devil to engineer fellowship with men as a way to keep them from the glorious light love and life of the one true God by accepting the sacrifice of his son Jesus the commissioned one to graft him into his family and grant him a place in the regenerated earth
FamilyRe: Time To Divorce My Wife? by BRIGHT180(m): 11:37am On May 06, 2020
The great GOD of creation who instituted marriage has only one ground for divorce sex outside marriage which apparently isn't happening in your case
Although the Bible makes provision for separation(but you are still married in every respect)

The above was just a reminder now to my answer until you see you wife as a victim who is only vomiting what her environment growing up has given her to swallow, as one who needs her perception and believe system changed by a constant intercourse with the word of GOD you might not make headway because mere advice cannot tame a character flaw

Sir am sure if you sit down and do a thorough self check you might not be completely isolated from blame
PoliticsRe: DPR: Nigeria’s Oil Reserves Will Run Dry In 49 Years by BRIGHT180(m): 11:44am On Feb 21, 2020
Petroleum cannot finish what will happen is the demand for some or all of its refined components will dwindle here is why

When predictions like this are given only the biogenically generated petroleum are taken into account unfortunately due to the unavalibility of equipments for advanced drilling techniques such as hydraulic fracturing used to recover petroleum in shales and tight sands unconventional reservoirs in general only that of the conventional reservoirs are taken into account no forgetting DPR uses 2P for it's reserves estimation.

The thermogenically generated petroleum at great depth which is generally untapped is alot in itself.

I am almost certain the surprisingly unexplored anambra basin housing natural gas in trillions of cubic feet was not factored into this report.

Many a time we judge peoples God and religion
based on what they say and the gatherings they associate with but that's theory in practice a larger percentage of people in the world are already operating a one world religion serving the same god THEMSELVES.

TravelRe: Sapele Road In Warri Is Bad (Photo, Video) by BRIGHT180(m): 5:02pm On Sep 18, 2019
Let me share my story entered a sienna from Lagos headed for warri from lagos to sapele everything went fine but from sapele to warri (emphasis must be laid that it's a trunk A ROAD)due to countless bad spot which was even worse until the locals cut trees to put on the road (actually inside the road only experience can explain this statement)
coupled with the countless trucks plying the road and the locals not allowing vehicles move except they pay a certain fee(I knew all this after my experience in the next paragraph)

So upon stand still and being told I could sleep here I came down with my heavy luggage( the driver said just pay an okada to help you cross them take keke to warri)
What I wasn't told was that i would have to trek almost 1km with heavy luggage INSIDE mud(many parts too muddy you need to enter inside bush) squeezing through trucks before I see a bike and that the road ahead is so tight that i would have to come down at some point for the bike to navigate besides vehicles them re-enter in front

You don't correct perceived lawlessness by being lawless yourself this is a clear case of defamation of character if TY danjuma decides to take it up.
Hear say and conspiracy theories has eaten into social media and unfortunately traditional media if you cannot prove your case beyond reasonable doubt before constituted authority(permit me nairalanders from Oyo) then don't raise allegations

Please before you accuse me of ignorance to "what happens behind the scene''(which you that know cannot prove) or derailing the thread looking deeply into the major issues that causes friction and exchange of banters amongst Nigerians you will find a hear say or conspiracy theory that has not been proven true but people are being indoctrinated into it as truth

It is most unfortunate that what we used to know as
" beer parlor talk" is now what is dished out even In traditional media as news.
