Yes! With a washing machine I bet

U guys have already decided; there's no future for both of you together. It's better not to start what you know you won't finish.

Besides, when children start coming, who will they follow to church?

Yes the mistake I made was to tell the assistant instead of the proprietress she is a nice woman and has a listening ear. The school is an A grade school and they have three nannies for each class in the kg and pr kg also the teacher said they no longer allow them to enter the toilet unsupervised again, and as for the name calling I will let the proprietress know.

That's good. Still keep a close watch though.

You need to remove her from that school n if possible put her in a school that has separate toilets for boys and girls.

Secondly, I expected u to have gone with her to the school to have a talk with the proprietor and class teacher.

Now that they have labelled your daughter a "talk talk" girl, I see that as a form of bullying.

ragnar don craze finish.....Bjorn Ironside....dude is something else, taking someone else's wife in front the husband, i drop hat for the guy.

That Ragnar scene was just too funny. Sometimes, I don't understand him. Bjorn looks like he's going to be meaner than his father. See the way he killed that man.

Also what was the seer referring to when Floki came to see him?

isaiah9:
It seems Ragnar likes the new slave girl

Yeah, he's also fascinated by other cultures just like he was with Athelstan

My son. Most wives I know used their son or daughter while husbands used their wife

I'm posting the final report from a dear friend who has just returned from a fact-finding mission to Benue State, following the recent Fulani massacre. This is not the first time atrocities will be committed by Fulani militants, but hopefully, the last.

HIGHLIGHTS:

1. Our convoy doubled to 10 cars plus soldiers, police and bikers. We had two-three minute stops. At one, I ventured ahead of the security perimeter and discovered our first decomposing body. A first even for me. I usually count tombstones.

2. Our convoy ran into the Fulani herdsmen and droves of cattle on multiple occasions. Sometimes we stopped to let them cross not knowing if it was an ambush. They were right outside our windows. No one wanted to engage because the outcome was unpredictable. I have never seen free range killers walking free before.

However our security escort did engage when they saw several armed Fulanis on a bike trying to flee. They abandoned one man who was injured and he was taken into our custody. Our captured killer didn't survive the rough terrain drive.

3. In the only village where we saw human survivors, we were told these people had just been attacked and were alerted we were coming so they bolted and ran into us.
(Fulani militants claim local residents killed 10,000 of their cattle).

It is simply inconceivable and logistically improbable to kill 10,000 cows without a major military operation utilizing rocked propelled grenades, attack helicopters etc. such a mass slaughter would take weeks and the skeletal remains of the cows would completely dot the landscape of Agatu and the stench would permeate the air.

What I saw in Agatu:

1. Dead human bodies still on the ground and in homes - decomposed.

2. Cows roaming through empty villages and in one case walking up to a dead human body. We left before the sacrilege of them desecrating the poor dead boy.

3. Thousands and thousands of cattle grazing on people's farms - well over 10,000 live cattle. Several times we had to stop our cars to let the cattle pass. I have never seen that many cattle in my entire life.

4. Burnt crops farmers had harvested and set aside for replanting. They were in charred heaps on the farms.

5. Fulani herdsmen accompanying the cattle. Some ran when they saw us but some just continued as if we didn't exist.

6. Grains of farmers, peppers etc scattered on the ground in the towns and also along the way between the villages. The likely belonged to people on their way back from farms or markets or people fleeing with some food who were ambushed as they ran.

7. Motor bikes and bicycles destroyed in the villages and on the road side in between. Again it appears people who were fleeing on bikes were ambushed as well.

8. Rows and rows of houses destroyed in at least 8 villages visited. It was complete and utter destruction.

9. Freshly lit fires still burning in a couple of villages indicating the arsonist had just left. We saw jerrycans along the way indicating fuel may have been utilized to fuel the fires.

10. Only in one out of 8 towns did we see any live humans - about 4 men.
What we didn't see in Agatu this week:

1. Not a single dead cow

2. Not a single soldier or policeman in the affected communities.

3. Not a single burnt mosque where everything else was razed.

4. Not a single living Agatu person in 7 out of 8 villages.

Conclusion: even if it were true that cattle were killed by the Agatu (there was no supporting evidence of this) the farms, homes and people of Agatu were massacred as well-evidenced by our team.

1.If the claimed casualties of the Fulani are cows and the claimed casualties of the Agatu are humans, then this could not be rightly called an Ethnic conflict. Cows are not people or an ethnic group.

2. If the loss claimed by the Fulani is livestock i.e. animals, this would be a criminal case of theft or destruction of property and not the basis for a massacre.

3. The Fulani are not indigenes of Benue and are not an ethnic group in Benue state. Their incursion from outside into Benue is more an invasion than an ethnic clash.

Finally, the statement attributed to the Fulani is an admission of guilt and a defense of provocation. The authorities should act accordingly and take the confessed perpetrators into custody for immediate prosecution.

Finally, I recall the State governor telling us the Fulani attacks are worse than Boko Haram - "BH occupies a town, kills some people and recruits some. The Fulanis destroy everything."
This seems not to be an exaggeration. Last year, the Catholic Church reported 70 churches destroyed. This is happening in my home state - the most Christian State in Northern Nigeria!

Fkforyou:


Yea, I understand, but I was expecting a different reaction from her, like empathy and understanding.

That's true. Especially after Oliver told her he's trying.

Fkforyou:


She is been melodramatic, haba....after william's mom explained everything to her she just had to pick offence over something else.
Is she saying oliver has no right to leave a message for his son or what?

By the way Malcom merlin is a snake, very cunning and ruthless, he can bite you and tell you that it was for your own good........like WTF...!!!

I think Felicity forgave him after Williams mum explained everything to her but felt betrayed again when she caught him leaving that message for William. She actually felt left out.

Chairman and editor-in-chief of Thisday newspaper, Nduka Obaigbena, on Monday revealed the Nigerian Guild of Editors collected N50 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser, in a further widening of the arms purchase scandal.

Special adviser to President Muhamamdu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, [pictured above] was the President of Nigerian guild of editors at the time.

Mr. Obaigbena, who is also The president of Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria, NPA, stated this in a letter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, dated December 30, 2015, obtained by Elombah.com.

The EFCC had last December invited the NPAN president in connection with the ongoing probe into the $2.1 billion arms procurement fund allegedly misappropriated by the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

Mr. Dasuki, alongside some top officials of the Peoples Democratic Party, and other former senior officials are currently being investigated for allegedly receiving the arms fund.

Acidosis:
smh for this generation

So no one is mentioning Eba, Pounded Yam, Semo, Wheat, Starch, fufu, tuwo, Amala, and over 20 Nigerian Soups, etc

This indomie & pasta generation is becoming something else.

I don't think I can survive two days without a typical African food. I can't and I'm sure my wife to be won't bring such nonsense.

OP is referring to meals for breakfast.

I read full cream milk can also be taken by kids too from a year old. I didn't use Peak 123 for my kids because its skimmed milk

Instead of Faleke/Muhammed Audu to run the state, I'd prefer Wada to continue from where he stopped.

But there is this belief that it makes you dumb(dull)

Heard that too but I don't believe it.

Coconut water is not only an incredibly popular thirst-quencher, but it packs quite the nutritional punch as well.

Here are seven little known coconut water nutrition facts and how they can benefit your health:

1. Coconut water is mostly just ... water.

I'm sure you already know you need to drink enough fluids so you can keep your body healthy and properly hydrated. Just like its name suggests, coconut water contains about 95% water. This makes it a great hydration drink. Coconut water can hydrate your body
just as well as plain water (the mother of all hydrating drinks).

2. It's low in calories.

Unlike plain water, coconut water is not entirely calorie-free, but at 42 calories per serving (240g) it's still a pretty low-calorie drink. This makes it an awesome replacement for any one of your regular, sugar-sweetened drinks and when used like this, coconut water can help you reach your weight loss goals.

3. It contains potassium.

Potassium is a vital mineral in your body. You need enough of it if you want your brain and nervous system to function properly. Coconut water can help provide some of that much needed potassium. One serving of coconut water will cover about 13% of your daily potassium needs.

4. It contains magnesium.

Magnesium is another important component of our diet, yet only 32% of people consume enough magnesium. If your body is running low on magnesium, that could cause low energy levels or even lead to serious health conditions like asthma, diabetes and osteoporosis. A serving of coconut water take care of about 14% of your daily magnesium needs.

5. It contains copper.

Copper is another essential mineral for your health. Without copper, your organs and your metabolism simply can't work like a well-oiled machine. One serving of coconut water will provide about 11% of your daily copper requirements.

6. It contains cytokinins.

Cytokinins are little-known, yet highly beneficial compounds found in coconut water. Science has confirmed cytokinins slow down the development of
cancerous cells , plus they slow down the
aging process. What's not to love, right?

7. It contains antioxidants.

Coconut water contains a lot of antioxidants, which help prevent the damage to our bodies caused by free radicals. Free radicals are produced by your own metabolism, so there's no other way to neutralize the damage, except making sure you consume enough antioxidants in your diet. And coconut water can help you with that.
