Yet Peter Obi and Tinubu are both talking about removing subsidies so the poor can be further improverish. They all don't understand that all countries subsides for it's citizens one way or the other. Instead of getting the job done by destroying corruption and smuggling they want the people to pay for government's ineffectiveness. Shameless lots.

I think this is more of a cruise than anything else. Anyone could have done this. I don't think this was ever in the official APC pictures.

My only issue with Obi is how he thinks his economic plans will work. The reality of Nigeria would humble many of his plans. Until we change fundamental things, the cry for production cannot work overnight as Obi is making it look.

Looking at antecedents however, Obi demonstrated he could be a more prudent manager and will not be too interested in how his party will remain in power forever. But I don't think his economic policies can work in Nigeria.

A notable quote one can make for the APC presidential candidate is what he told Bayelsans. He told them that [he will control flooding in the state, and that they should go and ask their former leaders why they failed them].

Promise to stop floods in the creeks and riverine Bayelsa is like promise of making the value of Naira =Dollar, made by APC presidential candidate in 2015.

Not speaking for anyone but the real problems of flooding in Nigeria is simply caused by Cameron releasing it's dam when overrunning. The simple solution is for Nigeria to build more dams on that corridor which subsequent government have refused to do. We had some issues is 2015 and I was expecting Buhari to use his head and fix that problem but now he's leaving it for the next government. So our flooding is more artificial than natural.

The four most intelligent Nigerians; Peter Obi, Okwonjo-Iweala, Akinwumi Adesina and Chimamanda Adiche. A country that has these four people shouldn't have Thiefnubuu as a presidential candidate.

The Chimamanda Adiche you put on this list is a total No. However for you to imply that these are NIgeria's most intelligent is a big shame on yourself. So where are the likes of Tony Elumelu, the likes of Jim Ovia. Mind you Okonjo was part of the government that refused to save for the future by stupidly following presidential directives to turn the savings into ATM for governors and politicians.

Hell fires are nothing compared to a woman's fury. How come the woman didn't report this initially when it happened until they started fighting over property and all?? For over a year she played along until she knew the man may marry another wife...

If he's guilty I hope he gets the judgement he truly deserves ..

Report threat to life to the police ASAP. That will put fear in her from taking any steps and make her know that your family are also aware. Don't underestimate a woman please. They can act before thinking through

According to the French Ambassador, this is a €110m euro project but only $6m has been secured. How will the next government raise the balance?. I hope this is not a plan to have another light rail that would take 20 years to complete like we are heading for in Lagos.

It's taken Lagos 16 years to complete a phase of less than 50km and the ambition of Lagos is to have like 300km. Hmmm

You've not done anything wrong. As a matter of fact you did everything right. However, it's unfortunate it met her at the wrong time. Keep massaging her ego by begging and pleading and sending her jokes. She will come around. She obviously still loves and misses you also by even calling you to warn you. Trust me she'll be back in your arms in 3 days time. Forget all those nonsense blasting. One can never be security conscious and the earlier you can determine danger the better the chances of rescue.

If GEJ had sent rescue to Chibok girls the night the problem happened, we probably wouldn't have lost 300 girls till date.

Isn't she the one who almost messed Timaya up and got him beat up by her church when he came to demand the car he bought for her??

Isn't she the one who almost messed Nyanya up and got him beat up by her church when he came to demand the car he bought for her??

God forbid I ever experience this again in my life but please never give a person dying of poison palm oil. Happened to a late cousin. Take the victim straight to the hospital. The palm oil doesn't work!! It rather escalates it. What she needs is the rubbish to be flushed out not mixed with anything else to compound the situation.

The friend who told you this is surely one of the enemies of your happiness. That said, your happiness shouldn't be affected that something you can't control. How can you be sad over someone else's behavior?. Your husband is about to cheat and you're dying over that? Please get some thinking caps on. Just find a way to go meet him and the emotional attachment he craves would go down.

As for that friend, stay away from her. You'll thank me later.

Gudfadah:
Good evening nairaland.

I am a married man and I have six children. When I met with my first wife she was a single mother of 1 girl she was a years 6 months we got married when she was 5 years old.
We had 3 children together making them 4 unfortunately we lost her in 2016 during the birth of our twins.

Before she passed on she asks me to promise her that if anything happened to her I should never send her daughter back to her family to experience the same thing she went through in there hands.
I have promised her that the child is mine and she will never go anywhere the day she will leave my house will be on her wedding day.
I have also promised her that nothing will happen to her and we will grow old together. Unfortunately we lost her and I have continued being a father to all four children and I have never treated my step daughter differently.

I have since remarried and we are blessed with twins. When I met with my current wife I didn't tell her that my step daughter is not my biological child she knew she was my first child.
She has been a part of me ever since she was 1 plus and I didn't think it was necessary telling my wife she was not my child.

She was treating all four children good until my wicked aunty has spill the beans which I have apologised for not telling her in the first and I have asked her to continue being a good mother she was before knowing the truth.
But she refused saying I didn't tell the truth and the child should go and leave with her mom family. I have explained to her the reason why she cannot stay with them to no avail and I ask her not to tell the child the truth but she has told her.

It wasn't easy for her knowing the truth she asks me if I will take her back to her mom people I said no. She is still my child and she will not go anywhere and I will resolve the problem very soon.

Unfortunately my wife has totally changed so much toward the child and I hate coming home seeing her crying all the time. She feel insecure in the house knowing that she is not the biological child of the house.

Talking to my wife was to no avail she has insist that the child must go back to her mother family or they will be not peace.

I reported the problem to her people nothing was done and we are still dealing with the same thing everyday.

Honestly speaking I hate being in such a messy situation but I will not send her back to her mom family she is my first child and I have made a promise to my late wife that the day the child will leave my house it will be the day she will get married.
Since my wife want her to leave and the child is already depresses.
I have come to conclusion I will not divorce her but I will rent a 2 bedroom apartment for her to be staying with the twins while I continue staying with the four children in my house I owe the house.

I haven't told her anything about my decision yet and I want to know if getting her own house will help the situation. This is where I need your advice nairalanders what do I do in this situation?

Personally I think I support your decision. Hopefully it will help reset your wife's brain. What's exactly the problem in raising a child. Also, you should approach the court and legally adopt that first child. Life is unpredictable, that girl may eventually become the most successful in the family and she may need to help her younger ones climb the ladder of life. Perfect the adoption and she becomes your legal child. Don't be pushed into sending her away please.

It's standard procedure. You may have to pay some import duty charges. Your friend probably made a mistake when declaring the value. If it's electronics or anything gadget you must pay import duty. Contact UPS, they will bring you a letter from customs to inform you.

I still fail to see what exactly Obi has done or did has a governor that is different from what other known politicians have done seperately besides not accepting severance package. It is always about building roads to inflate the cost and claiming to purchase things over and over again...I think we need innovative ideas and a real champion. I unfortunately don't see that amongst the candidates in this election. If debates or town hall amounted to anything, I think Kola Abiola seems to understand better how to change the narrative of the nation even though it might be hard to trust him. But he seems to have better ideas... my views and opinion but I think we just need to do away with these generation of professional liars...till now Obi still hasn't explained why $2m was paid to a contractor in cash. Tinubu can't explain the businesses he can run successfully without public funds and Atiku can't explain how and where he has made his money...

In the real sense. I don't think Tinubu should be surprised because for years he had left the group and even financed the split body. Even though the group isn't exactly influential. I think it is normal they won't support BAT.

Well from information available protesters had to storm the palace and it was alleged that most of the construction projects awarded by the state government in the town were handled by the royal palace. How true is that part?

If you accuse PDP of supporting cultists. The only evidence of support for cultism in Osun is Asiri Eniba who is a known cultist and killer and he's a well known APC member.

As for Oyetola going to court, it's within his right but that doesn't mean he didn't loose tht election. He may win on technical grounds if he has his facts.

Olojuobinrin:
Nah who give up , nah him mess up ! Oyetola 4+4 , but Adeleke will borrow small from the 4 sha until he’s kicked out just like his counterparts!! Oyetola deserves a second term ! He did well in his first term but his only mistake is not putting those AREGBESOLA’s miscrants in Positions especially that Salenshile of a man in Chief of staff , that was the reason why they worked against him and moved to PDP just to prove a point but I see Oyetola coming back to finish his good work ! Aregbe messed up big time and he is not stopping at that because he thinks he is a big man now Tinubu made you what you are today ! Osun doesn’t belong to jokers like Michael Jackson and the likes of AREGBESOLA ! We don’t need them here in Osun to destroy things ! Serubawon could have been a better option if they didn’t take him out ! But this Joker called Jackson Adeleke should not be allowed to take over the affairs of my darling state ! He never even enter office , cultists everywhere jubilating and having a nice time and waiting for when to finally start their game in full gear !! I fear for Osun state !

As much as I won't vote Atiku or support him due to issues of how he managed privatisation. The truth is Atiku has so far demonstrated the best manifesto. But stupid politics and sense of entitlement of NIgerians always forced the man to retract his statements. That gives me feelings that he should be capable.

However, I'll wait for the manifesto of other candidates too. Atiku however needs to explain his own side of privatization and why OBJ still uses that against him. Most of the companies he was alleged to have sold for cheaper were already moribund by the time the sales took place.

If your story is true, don't allow one Jezebel ruin you. Don't make the mistake of telling your babe. No one detects pregnancy in 12 days. Na lie. Anyways, I'll advice you let her and her mother know you're getting married. Don't ever marry out of pity or forced marriage.

You're human and mistakes don't define you. I can see you truly regretted your actions. A babe did same to me weeks ago and I just gave her a choice to choose. She knew you had problems with the condom when you swapped it and that was all she needed.

Omo this is really tough. This is why DNA is necessary. To avoid stories that touch. You were banging two guys at the same time. Who even knows if the other children belong to the husband.

To imagine that Guardiola preferred this overrated failure over Kelechi still surprises me. Even at Man City he couldn't make any mark. Arsenal/Arteta and spending wrongly.

Arsenal would do better by focusing of their academy and recruiting young players than these type of guys who come on and easily become liabilities and no sense of loyalty.

As much as I cant predict who would win. I know these 2 politicians like the palm of my hands and I think defecting is their best bet. Both of them can't win their respective family compounds. The only politician here is Omisore, I hope they won't gang up against him again now that they are moving to APC. They are good at causing troubles especially Mr Wale Ojo.

Like my father says, only a foolish husband will earn 1k outside and bring everything home. You'll spend or save 400 and keep the rest.

My brother, the truth is bitter but I'll advice you to be rational. You need to have additional streams of income no matter what. We keep deceiving ourselves with education here in Nigeria when we the people are our own worst enemies. The majority still sell their votes leaving the minority to also suffer is failed policies.

As odd as it may sound, you need to consider something like goat farming or snail farming or anything at all. You'll only suffer a year before you start cashing out. My then you wouldn't even have time to know if your wife exist or not. Don't allow anyone not your wife, family or kids drive you into depression. Plan for your own sanity first abeg. Use your head!

I won't call you an idiot neither will I blame your dad. However, I need you're not been smart enough. Consider even a small business like rearing goats alone or even snail. You'll thank me 1 year later.

I used to be part of those shouting government is this, my parents are that until I discovered that heaven only helps those who help themselves. In Nigeria even that school would be a scam because to get the best job you'll pay for it but if you have some side hustle, you'll decide how to live your life...when to wake up and when to sleep. God help us all. Take the initiative.

Those who call you stingy now would be first to gossip about you. Forget your dad or siblings and use whatever you make the next one year to start any of those hustle I told you. That's my cruel advice but reflect on it.

I'll advice you probably used a sim that is unknown to him to send him an SMS and maybe proof. But don't ever let him know it's from you. According to our fathers, a woman who cheats will kill her husband last last

There you have it folks. These guys are not repentant 1 bit. The same Okowa who built a drainage of 30b and it got damaged within a year?. The same Okowa who led all Southern governors astray by hosting the first meeting where the communique to ensure power goes to the South was agreed upon only to go behind and queue behind a Northerner?. Guy has got no integrity and this ticket is dead on my side. I'd take BAT 100 times over this nonsense ticket and Obi 200 times over this.

No to sound wicked but does this collapse happen only under Buhari. Never heard this world national grid collapse before APC came on board

The way I see it, SW is more polarized now than what we grew up knowing. Considering the threat and all coming from Yoruba Muslims about insisting that Presidency to the SW should be Yoruba Muslims or nothing and the current anger amongst RCCG folks about Osinbajo's loss. I think the SW may just be the spoilers this time. The Muslim -Muslim ticket may seriously backfire in the South West looking at what terrorists have started lately here. It would be dead on arrival.

For the sake of his future and his own life you need to deal with him and help reset his brain. You've only tolerated him because he's family, if it's an outsider they may harm him so better to let him know you don't snitch, then you also keep secrets from him. But trust him resetting his brain will be doing him a good favour
