A Twitter user has alleged that a 21-year-old boy is being forced to marry because he has the SS genotype, and this has angered Twitter users.



The family of the boy allegedly fear that he may not live long due to his ailment so they have found a girl with the AA genotype and are trying to get him to marry her so he can have a child to succeed him.



A number of Twitter users condemned this action while some have said it's common in Nigeria and parents do this for young men who are only sons or have the SS genotype.

is marriage an achievement? is having a child an achievement? marriage can even cause his early demise and turn young woman to widow. they should have allowed the boy to live his life and help him to get none marrow transplant done. anyway, I wish them happy married life and long life.

10 reasons they are after me – Ambode

1) I insisted that contracts that had been awarded to party leaders under Fashola must be executed before they can be awarded new contracts under my regime.
2) I constructed 22 roads in Alimosho and refused to award any of the contracts to Aregbesola and co.
3) I wanted to phase out Danfos and Area boys from the streets of Lagos and introduce smarter means of transportation without Area boys and Agberos.
4) I refused to pad the budget with 10% for House of Assembly members led by Bayo Osinowo and Mudashir Obasa.
5) I refused to grant the concession of 4th Mainland Bridge to Tinubu’s Hitech
6) I refused to increase the amount of money being paid from the state revenue to Tinubu through Alpha Beta from 10% to 20%
7) I developed Epe. Epe was never in their Master Plan.
I refused to support Aregbesola and Bayo Osinowo’s senatorial ambitions because they are not Lagosians.
9) I refused to use Lagos State funds to finance Osun elections.
10) I opposed Tinubu’s succession plan, which will see his son Seyi Tinubu becoming the next Governor of Lagos state after me.

ManTiger:
This was exactly how their OAU faction invaded Awo Hall on a Friday night when Awoite are having their usual sacrament, that was sometimes in 2007. They came with club, bottles, sticks and swords, ironically, what these people does to their female counterpart is devilish.

When their mosque inside Awo cafe was invaded by ever militant Awoite, then we discovered up to 13 pregnant ladies who are students and some nursing mothers, we never had an idea of what goes on around that hub before that day. It has to involve the DSS of the school to gain entrance into their hub inside Awo Cafe that day.

I remember vividly.

Aregbe is a failure in terms of d state economy!!! He might hav done well buildin roads in d state capital but he failed woefully in workers welfare, education secor and numerous unrealistic projects!!! We wasted osuns limited resources on shabby prjcts!!! He demolished old schls builtby d past regime!! Im a beneficiary of pdps regime!!! Oyinlolas policy was one of d best, as i had free olvel exam nd free texbooks plus free education during my secondary schl days! Oposite is d case with aregbe!!! He gav students opon imo which majority used fr porn, is opon imo still in existence today.... Ohoney, igi iye, airport Where ar they now Hes one person wit good publicity!!! He shows u wat he wants u to see... To me aregbesola failed very woefully

Thank you. it is only lagos mumus that believe aregbe did wonder.

Base1line:
I observed that many Igbos on NL have been ceaselessly wailing over the appoint of Aregbesola as the interior minister. Those who have not been to Osun State to see the work n transformation the state witnessed under him continue comparing him with the fat kerosene sharing clown Ikpeazu that turn Abia into a shithole it indigene can’t wait to be evacuated from.

There are several pages with project Aregbe accomplished in Osun, if any Igbo believe any of their PDP governor past present n those to come in the future can compete with him in terms of infrastructural development, I make bold to say for every project “be it school bridge road hospital whatever” any Igbo governor from PDP completed I will list 3 for Aregbe.

While you pile the completed project by your former present n future governor to compete with Aregbe, I like to point out the most undeserving minister reappointed by Buhari is also an Igbo.

The jerk of a foreign affair minister Geoffrey Onyeama as supervised the most brutal killing butchery n massacre of Nigeria abroad in the history of this country. Be it from Malaysia Indonesia China India Saudi Arabia South Africa the only news we now receive is about relentless weekly slaughtering of Nigeria at any flimsy excuse.

This is who the Igbos should be wailing their tears over considering they suffered the most causality but bigotry n hate won’t allow they speak out about his glaring failure but I have decide to take the bulls by the horn to save other Nigerians abroad while Onyeama watch like a fool the weekly slaughtering of Nigerians like festive ram.

For the records, all the PDP miscreant that have been wailing ceaselessly over Aregbe’s appointment, note Aregbe was not interior minister when Abba Moro slaughtered over 32 Nigerian Corp member after defrauding them of billions with fake employment scam. So, either way you look at it Aregbe can never have his recorded tinted that miserably so he outperformed the 16 years ruins slaughter n fraud of the PDP without even starting.

op, do you live in osun state or visit occasionally?

Acidosis:
I'm not defining responsibility by the fatness of a man's bank account or the geography of the creeks. I'm defining responsibility by the context and content of a man's moral uprightness which, to a large extent, includes the legality and the nature of his trade or source of income. A wealthy oil criminal by and large is still a criminal in the eye of the law and is liable to the same treatment that befalls criminals.

A woman hoping to date or marry a decent man of value, good morals and character will not look in the direction of oil criminals or yahoo boys, rich or poor.

[quote author=FlirtyKaren post=81430642]A video making rounds on social media has shown the mnoment some SARS operatives shot dead robbers in the Igando area of Lagos.

According to reports, the suspected robbers specialized in robbing vendors on the classified Ads website, Jiji.

They were reportedly caught while trying to rob a man they had earlier robbed on the platform. The man reportedly posted another advert with a different number. Unknown to the suspected thieves, he was a victim they had robbed before.

The man then informed the SARS operatives ahead of the siege and they were arrested.

But in what will be calssified as an extra-judicial killing, the officers rounded up the men and shot them.

The entire scene was captured on video

The first guy went to my school, he was a well known Eiye ciltist, even terrorized and left me with a scarring memory till date when he and his people, tried to force initiation on me. What saved me was that I had asthma attack which made them abandon me in fear that I was dying.

Tell Anambra people to stop begging first before you spit bullshits like these

And also tell the Lazy people in Imo IDPs camp to work instead of waiting for free food

there are beggars in every land. even there are beggars in United States. we are talking of institutionalized begging as culture.

LazyGold:
People are mining skulls in most part of Yoruba Lands but still yet your people are all over the region with their heads intact

you guys are even talking as if there are no skull miners in South East

I was talking about UNN ranking base on online presence you are spitting bullshits

I am very sure you have not travelled outside south west. travelling is part of education. try to learn from other tribes without biased. we yorubas are too superstitious and praise- singers of known criminals. most yoruba youths are lazy and like begging for money. yes, there are criminals in other tribes and they commit crime for big profits. but here my people will be committing heinous crimes for peanut. yorubaland is retrogressing and young ones are believing tales of elders that igbo are cannibals and lovers of money without questioning. no tribe is special. there are bad people and good people in every culture.

LazyGold:
UNN is the best University in Nigeria base on Online presence

why can we make use of online presence? I have travelled across 5 geopolitical zones inNigeria. I did not bother about north east. what I can I say that we yorubas are living in past glory. other regions are closing the gap. we worship men in yoruba land and we believe in tales from elders.
granted igbo love money and they can do illegal and immoral things to make big money. in south west, our girls are being impregnated by useless men because of 'indomie and egg'. People are mining skulls because of #50k. in most parts of yoruba land, people commit crime and immoral things for ridiculous amounts. crime is crime. fornication is fornication. fraud is fraud. murder is murder.

Jimasun:
Who are you beating in education?
Because of special centers in the east?
Maybe you don't know our higher institutions are ranked better than those in the east?
Maybe you don't know we have 3 folds of your professors.
Maybe you don't know we have 3 folds of institutions in the east.
Maybe you don't know SW Universities always outperform SE universities.
Maybe you don't know SW has more children in higher institutions than SE.
You are a dreamer

special centres are everywhere and are even more in lagos. presently unn is best university in nigeria(webometrics ranking),followed by u.i and ilorin. universities in north like abu and buk are closing the gap with sw universities. sw is living past glory other regions are catching up with us. we should tell young ones to work harder

NGpatriot:
You are basically saying there's lack of development in the SE because of their low debt profile on top of the fact that they are poor and still saddled with poor income in form of IGR.

Debt, when used properly, is an instrument for development so, when you are poor and have low IGR, if means you have poor credit ratings and you can not access credit facilities which means lack of development.

and if you are heavily indebted and there is no tangible development, what will you call that? some debts are not necessary. obtaining loan to build airport in state like osun is an economic insanity

safarigirl:
Okay.

The article doesn't specify what he's heading though.

mostly a ministry. I think he may head ministry of youth and youth. I learn he is a grassroot person. once contested for oau sug president.

safarigirl:
the article says he is being considered as a commissioner

commissioners head ministries in state. however, commissioners are also appointed to head agency in both state and federal level.

Seun fakorede can perform better than all our past head of states combined. what is special in being a commissioner,governor and president? if you can read, you can rule. I cannot judge people by their looks. Dressing should be moderate and appropriate. Appropriate for occasion , yes, for example, sport wears for sporting activities, casual dress for unofficial events, wedding gown for wedding, etc.

Ndiigbo are very angry with the Nigeria State and this is no secret.


We are all very much aware of that.


Ike Ekweremadu have severally highlighted this fact.


However, it is surprising that Ike Ekweremadu would choose to wear the Nigerian Coat of Arms to visit his people in Germany, instead of the traditional Isi Agu for the traditional occasion.


Sighting the Nigeria Coat of Arms may have drawn his attackers to him. cc lalasticlala mynd44 seun

Dunno if you would take this piece of advice from me, cos u have two options here

# The first is dependent on ur recent level and the ruggedity of status in the uni. If such a uni is in the south better be sure that a clash is likely probable in the nearest future. Hence my advice if such is the case and If u have just spent a year or probably going to ur 2nd, is for you to peacefully forfeit ur admission and look for another uni.

# If you have spent 3years already, then u better quit ur recent neighborhood, but before doing that u must find a way to disassociate urself from all the confra claims by telling anyone and everyone close to u that u have no business in such.
Also, be mindful of the kind of friends u keep cos clearly it's obvious ur rapport with confra men is strong. Better quit such relationship.

yes oh. He will severely pay for it.

PraiseDLord:
Give your life to Jesus and let Him choose your spouse for you but you said NO! That's why you're reaping what you've planted now!
You are now praying to the God you forsook when you were choosing your path - why should He answer?
However, it's not too late if you repent now, He will not cast you away. He will have mercy and abundantly pardon. You also needs to pray and talk to your husband gently so He too can forsake his sins and give his life to Jesus Christ.
For the God of Christians is against sin and poligamy!!!
That's one of the reasons I gave my life to Him - because I don't even have strength at all for these wahala. I just can't stand it!!!!
So if you will both surrender to Christ, the fear of God comes first before considering other self-centred ambition knowing that God will judge every secret thing
Shalom!

My sister,I want to tell you a story so that you can learn. I got married in 2012.In 2014 ,by March I was already 3 months pregnant. My husband was doing exactly the same thing that your husband was doing.I had never slept with a man before I met him.My husband even told me that the two women he was dating have the right to come to the house.I almost miscarried. I fell into depression.I will have even gone mad of not for God.The doctor sent someone to come and remove me from that house. Remember that I was still three months pregnant. As I left that house since 2014 till 2019 I have never spoken to him. He got married in 2016 again to another woman. This 2019 in July the woman ran away from him with a one year old child.This same man,his sister's husband committed suicide in March 2019.My dear sister,you have the decision in your hands.

Let me tell you another story.When I was a school there was this boy who used to come close to me.He never told me what his intentions were towards me.I also sat me quiet.One day he told me he was tired. I was confused because I don't even understand what was going on or maybe he just wanted me to use my head and understand that he wants to date me.He never said anything. After telling me that he is tired,one month after that he told me that he now has a girlfriend and that his girlfriend is a virgin and never had a boyfriend. It sounded like an insult and a challenge that he was throwing to my face.This boy got married to this girl in 2014 and this is 2019 and this girl has never gotten pregnant and they don't have a child since 5 years that they got married. Can you believe that this boy contacted me in March of 2019 and was telling me that he will give me everything I want and he was trying to come to my house.He said if I want money he will give plus anything I want.God revealed to me that I should never accept him or allow him come close to me because he wants to use me to make a child.Another thing that God revealed to me is that the money he wants to give me is to make "salaka" so that his wife's womb can open. And God showed me that if the salaka does not work he will get me pregnant so that I can give him a child but he will still stay with his wife and if I open my mouth he will make a scandal of me.God is faithful. When God made this revelation to me I distant myself from him till today.He thought that he was challenging but it is God who is great.If anybody hurts you,walk away from them and don't look back.It is God who holds their answer.

nice experience. God will make you strong.

miss00000:
We met in school during my pre-degree and dated for 7 years before he proposed to me. Before the proposal, both our parents had been pestering us to get married and start having children.

We started trying 6months prior, and 6 months after proposing I got pregnant. Few months later we did our introduction and got married (registry) march this year.

About two years ago, he met a lady where he was supplying his goods. According to him, the lady has been doing everything in her power to push his business. Every time I suspect there was more to their friendship, he always assured me there was nothing, that she's just a friend. sometimes he would even travel with her to Abuja to sell his goods which I had to allow since it was helping his business.

8 months into my pregnancy I noticed a drastic change like coming home very late, he hardly eats at home, he barely talks to memos he's always on his phone. I knew something was wrong and every time I talk to him, he always assured me that everything was fine.

After the delivery and naming of my baby I expected things to go back to the way it was, but it became worse. he changes his phone password almost everyday and still hides his phones from me.

One day I cried and begged him to tell me what was going on, after hours of begging, the first question he asked me was "where was it written in the bible that marriage has to be between one man and one woman and not with different women", "why can't a man marry two or more wives if he has the resources to take care of them equally"(the lady is a muslim btw).

He confessed that he has been dating this lady for over two years and has no plan of leaving her, and theres a possibility he's going to marry her. I'm just 26yo with a one month old baby, I didn't sign up for this.

While growing up, my mum has always warned us against polygamy. although he's promised to be there for me and still wants our marriage to continue, but the thought of my husband being with someone else is killing me. I've tried to reason with him several times but I end up hurting even more. I've been praying but still no change. He's been trying to compensate with gifts and money but thats not what I want. he doesn't want me to tell anyone and I feel reporting him to his family will even worsen the case. We've always settled our issues ourselves without involving anyone. I've tried everything I can just to take my mind off it. I need someone to talk to, prolly a friend or a counsellor. I've been crying for days now, I've not been eating well and I have to breastfeed my child. I never knew my life would be this complicated. I don't know why he got married to me if he already had this in mind. I hate my life right now.

Please do not hurt yourself. Are you working? Can you take care of yourself and child? I always say that a woman should not get married if she cannot take care of herself and kids. shit happens this day. if you can take care of yourself and kids, report him to your family and be preparing for divorce if solution is not possible. if you are not financially sound, look for work or start a business. You have not married yet.

Neymar would be willing to take a pay cut of 15 million euros (£13.7m) to rejoin Barcelona from Paris St-Germain, says BBC Radio 5 Live's Guillem Balague.

The Spanish giants are believed to have made several offers for the Brazil international, including one of 100m euros (£92.4m) plus Philippe Coutinho.

However, those bids have been rejected with PSG holding out for more money.

"The player is happy to reduce his wages from 38 million euros net to 23 million euros net," said Balague.

"It is an interesting situation at Barcelona. They feel they have to try really hard to get him back.

"Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez want him back but also the president Josep Maria Bartomeu has two more years in his mandate and he wants to leave a big legacy. Can you imagine all those players that have been mentioned and Neymar as well?"

Neymar is currently training alone at PSG, although that is understood to be part of a scheduled programme rather than related to the transfer saga.

Real Madrid have also put forward a deal that includes money as well as Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez but, like Barcelona's bid, that has been rejected.

'Neymar belongs to PSG and we'll see what happens'

Barca boss Ernesto Valverde was non-committal when asked about Neymar in a news conference previewing Friday's La Liga opener between the defending champions and Athletic Bilbao.

Valverde lamented the fact the transfer window does not close until 2 September and insisted he was "very happy with the squad".

"It's inconvenient and it's not logical," he said about the transfer window.

"The normal thing would be that the team you start with is the same one that will compete for the whole season.

"Now we have two weeks until the transfer window shuts and you can't breathe easily until then. I'm very happy with the squad I have at the moment but I don't know what will happen next.

"Neymar belongs to PSG and we'll see what happens but I can't say anything more about him."

Messi to miss season opener
Messi scored 51 goals in 50 appearances for Barcelona in all competitions in 2018-19 but will miss the start of this season because of a calf injury.

The Argentina international has not trained ahead of Friday's game at San Mames and Valverde said: "We are not going to take risks with any player, even less with Leo.

"He hasn't trained or played with the team. We will wait a while but his recovery process is going well."

Friday's game will be broadcast on ITV after the broadcaster agreed a continuation of their La Liga partnership to screen the Spanish top flight on terrestrial TV this season.

neymar is not serious. wasted talent due to lack of focus

nwakibie3:
By Bamidele Samuel Adesoji - August 15, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari gave a new directive to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stop providing FOREX for food importation. According to the President, the directive was given to improve agricultural production and attain full food security in Nigeria.

The President reportedly said, “The Central Bank of Nigeria should stop providing foreign exchange for importation of food into the country, with the steady improvement in agricultural production, & attainment of full food security.”

Implications of the President’s Statement

Note that rice and other items make up the 43 items earlier placed under FOREX restriction. Hence, the latest announcement is apparently a follow-up to the recent move by the CBN to restrict FOREX for milk importation.

Following this, If all food items are declared ineligible for FOREX during importation, it means that importers will no longer have access to the Investors & Exporters Window (I&E) for foreign currencies required to carry out transactions.

Consequently, the investors will have to source their own FOREX by patronising bureau de change or other sources. This comes at a higher cost and the implication is that consumers will be made to bear the brunt of the extra costs incurred by the investors.

On the flip side, the President also stated that Nigeria has recorded steady improvement in food production and attained full food security. This suggests that the President is of the opinion that Nigeria has attained food self-sufficiency, thereby making food importation unnecessary.

A look into Nigeria’s Agricultural sector

According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), although agriculture remains the largest sector of the Nigerian economy, employing two-thirds of the entire labour force, production hurdles have significantly stifled the performance of the sector.

FAO further revealed that the main factors undermining production of agricultural products include reliance on rainfed agriculture, smallholder land holding, and low productivity due to poor planting material, low fertilizer application, and a weak agricultural extension system, amongst others.

- As a result of the several factors inhibiting the growth of the sector, food remains one of the major commodities currently being imported into Nigeria.

- As it stands, Nigeria occupies a tripartite position. FAO reported that Nigeria is the continent’s leading consumer of rice; the country is one of the largest producers of rice in Africa and simultaneously one of the largest importers of rice in the world.

- Livestock development is an important component of Nigeria’s agriculture sector with abundant social and economic potentials. However, 30% of live animals slaughtered in Nigeria are imported from neighbouring countries.

Food Importation Statistics

A close look into the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) foreign trade report shows that Nigeria still imports food items that gulp trillions of naira. According to the Bureau, between 2015 and 2018, Nigeria imported food and beverages estimated at N5.46 trillion or $17.8 billion. As at first quarter of 2019 only, Nigeria’s food and beverage importation stood at N389 billion or $1.2 billion.

- A further breakdown shows that Nigeria’s food imports are categorised into primary (raw) and processed. In Q1 2019, industries imported N196 billion worth of raw food, while households imported N87 billion.

- For processed food, industries imported an estimated N82 billion worth of food items, while household consumption of processed food was put at N110 billion.

- This means that a total of N389 billion was spent on both industrial and household food importation in Q1 2019.
According to the NBS, food items largely imported into Nigeria include prepared foodstuffs, vegetables, animals, vegetable fats and oil, other cleavage production and beverages.

Some concerns

Mixed reactions have continued to trail the directive. While much emphasis has been placed on whether the move is an apparent breach of the CBN’s independence or not, some have asserted that the announcement might worsen the economy as Nigeria has neither achieved food security nor sufficiency.

Reacting to the policy, a former Deputy Governor of the CBN, Kingsley Moghalu, reacted that the issue isn’t whether or not CBN should allow access to Forex for food imports. According to him, it is about whether such an economic policy should be imposed by a political authority. Moghalu said, “Our economy will not be saved by Ad Hoc political decisions like this, handed down by the very institutions that should be shielded from the whim and caprice of politicians.

“Nigeria’s entire economy appears to have been sub-contracted to our Central Bank, including industrial and trade policy. In the process, the economy has fared poorly, and the Central Bank has lost its independence. This is sad!”

The downsides

No doubt, Nigeria’s agricultural sector is full of potential and there is a large room for growth. While the current administration has introduced several policies to help improve food security, not much progress has been recorded and the government should address this.

- According to global hunger index (GHI) 2018, Nigeria ranks 103 out of the 119 qualifying countries with a score of 31.1. This means Nigeria suffers from a level of hunger that is very serious.

- A closer look at GHI report shows that Nigeria is worse off in hunger index between 2000 and 2018.

- Nigeria’s fragile economy still manages to import more Agric. products than export. This means that the current domestic production cannot meet demands.

- While FOREX restriction on food importation is laudable, the government needs to carefully work on the gradual implementation of the policy in order not to heap more misery on the economy.


https://nairametrics.com/2019/08/15/buharis-food-importation-ban-could-drag-the-nigerian-economy-into-misery/

With farmers-herdmen crisis, hunger will reset brain of many. if you want to control forex,stop importation of luxurious and mundane things, not basic things like food and drugs. well,from history, severe hunger is major factor that can trigger revolution spontaneously. irony is that those who are supporting fg policy would suffer more and will be blaming those opposing it for not being patriotic. if hunger-induced revolution happens today, it would be poor v poor, workers v workers, masses v masses. Masses and poor do not know their real enemy.
