Bankowner: If I hear una again! A man that will shout on or at his wife in public over anything at all is not worthy of that woman and does not deserve her. So because she is a woman she should sit quietly and stomach the embarrassment abi? Those type of men are those that give Africa a bad name where it comes to treatment of women. A woman should only be seen and not be heard and as such should take all the rubbish heaped on her by a man because she is married to him. My yoruba people will say the woman should take whatever bad thing the man does to her as shea butter cream and rub her body with it. O ma se o!
I wait for any of you to cross to this side I am at, shout at your woman in public and I won't be surprised if it’s a cop that picks you up. If you’re lucky that doesn’t happen, pray you don’t meet your bag waiting for you at the door when you get home. Women don’t suffer shame, embarrassment, disgrace, trauma, emotional, and psychological abuse through spoken words in your worlds. Na until man beat woman or kill am e don do wrong abi? Yet there are men who go beat up another man because he cheated on and hurt their sisters. Do I blame them?
jeromestarks You really are daft. Read my initial post again. Because a mad man starts to fight you on the streets so it is ok to join him in a fight? Your wife slaps you and you slap her back, you have become a wife beater. Someone steals from you and you and so you steal from others, you have become a thief. You cannot control or indeed are not responsible for the actions of others but you are responsible for your actions and if you lower yourself and show you are no different then what are you complaining about? Indeed, you are no different from the offender. Like it or not! You are not the first person and won’t be the last to be provoked!! Why are you people so daft? |

At 35+ l, most women will end up as side chicks anyway, since it is the same women that say they don’t want polygamy. |

That mindset is why good men will not marry women like you in the 1st place. Having said that a good man will not shout at his wife in public. So I guess when a bad man marries a bad woman like in this story, whatever they see they see. |

You are no different from senator nengi in trying to foster ethnic divisions without having facts because you are really not interested in the facts.

(Seconded motion by Asuquo for suspension of 6 months) all 8 stood up on the floor of the senate to debate or comment on the issue. That is at least 8 senators from the Se/SS across party lines. And for the record, many Northern senators stood up to dissociate themselves from Nengi. Furthermore, senator Abaribe of SE has made several comments on the matter including on Arise TV. In fact by my count, more senators from the SE/SS stood on the floor than senators from either the SW or the entire North. |

By the time the citizens are reduced to two million in number, resources will go round equally. To an extent, I don’t believe this news, especially from the BBC. They know how to magnify situations to appear dire. Read about the history of Haiti and you will find the same answer you will find in most failed states…The West, in this case France and the USA! Long and short, Haiti was a French slave colony that humiliated the French in a revolution in late 18th century becoming the 1st slave colony to gain independence. France has made sure ever since they never know peace. Of all the colonial masters the French are the worst, of all the imperialist, the Americans are the worst. That’s why I pity Nigeria, we are fighting amongst ourselves not knowing our real enemies. The day we unite is the day we know who our real enemies are. Look at what America is trying to do to China. When Nigeria makes a serious attempt to develop and we will feel the full force of the US. They cannot afford Nigeria to develop because a developed Nigeria means a developed Africa. A developed Africa means they have less access to our resources. |

Business › Re: Folorunsho Alakija And Her Husband, Modupe Separate After 30 Years Of Marriage by casualobserver: 10:46pm On Mar 10, 2024 |
Konquest: @CasualObserver, What you posted is FALSE. Folorunso Alakija was NEVER a hair dresser. I see a lot of younger ones pushing this same false story and mangling history up. Let me explain more here to you and those reading this.
She trained in the UK as a professional secretary, returned to Nigeria from England and worked as a banker at IMB Plaza on Victoria Island, Lagos. She later resigned to take care of her small kids in the early 1980s and proceeded to establish the very famous company Supreme Stitches in Lagos State which was a top fashion design outfit for ready-to-wear clothes and many prominent folks in the society such as Mariam Babangida where her friends. These are facts that I personally witnessed in the 1980s through to the 1990s.
She comes from the wealthy Ogbara family who are indigenes of Ikorodu, Lagos State. Ikorodu is one of the 3 Ijebu LGAs in Lagos State and as you might know the Ijebus are one of the wealthiest subgroups among the Yoruba folks and in Nigeria. Her millionaire father even sent Folorunso Alakija and her siblings to school in the UK when she was not even up to 10 years old! So, she took a major risk by bidding for the deep offshore oil well in 1991 with her family members from the Ogbara family and her foreign technical partners and finally found oil in the highly risky deep offshore using FAMFA Oil as a vehicle..
I wrote about this fact just this year when some ethnic bigots and ignorant young ones here on NL (who were obviously NOT born in the 1980s and 1990s) defamatorily wrote that she slept her way with IBB or Abacha to get an oil well which to me is idiotic of these kids and an insult to those of us who knew Mrs. Folorunso Alakija right from the 1980s as a banker, oil mogul, ànd when she started the hugely famous Supreme Stitches which was the first in Nigeria to defined bespoke fashion designing and ready to wear for women. This is the reason why she is also the patron of Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria (FADAN).
I hope this helps. Hairdresser/ fashion designer are all the same. |

Women misuse power. They tend to insult men at the slightest opportunity they get.
Your marriage can not last if your wife has as much money as you. He married her when she was just a hair dresser. Mariam Babangida was one of her clients and that’s how she used her connection to get an oil block. |

Unfortunately for me, I didn't know someone is selling just few blocks to where I acquired the land. Although the competitor was a small scale but I do not want to compete because there is also a coke/pepsi depot right next to it.
I've decided to go into manufacturing but I'm not sure what I could do. I need ideas and possible the required capital that would start it.
Please no pure water factory suggestions.
Thank you. How do you manage to amass the funds to build a warehouse to start a drinks business without even the business sense to scope the terrain? And now you are asking people what to do?

stevestifler: A woman wanted to travel & to see her sibling who invited her because they'd not seen in more than a year & her husband says no. She involves her parents & pastor & even her best friend, they all have different opinions. Some said go, some said stay.
As a married woman, whose words should be taken in highest regards?
1. Her siblings that she's spent all her life with 2. Her parents that gave birth to her 3. Her pastor that sees visions & guides her spiritually 4. Her husband 5. Her best friends that she's known from childhood
Let's have matured responses from experienced and responsible nairalanders. 4, 2, 1,5, 3 4. husband...what God has joined together.... if you married a bad husband that's your fault, for making poor choices, otherwise no one can want the best for you aside of your parents. the reason husband supersedes parents is only because you are on a journey together, you have left your parents and are now joined with your husband as one. parents, 2. no one can love you like you parents but you have left you parents 1, siblings. nothing like family but not sometimes there is sibling rivalry 5, friends they know you best but sometimes they dont tell you the truth. 3. vision seeing pastors...mostly fraudsters! be very wary of pastors.

First of all a little lesson in English. it is "How dumb can someone sound!" not "How dumber can someone sound!" Secondly mind your own business. The person I responded to made an ignorant comment that why is the foreign minister focusing on Palestine when there are problems in Nigeria and I responded because that is his job..."foreign minister". Look up the meaning of foreign as you clearly have problems with English. clearly my post a few days ago is again apt here, so i will repost as clearly many of you lack English comprehension. casualobserver: A few days a go, the Minister of education made a comment on the standard of education in Nigeria and the epidemic of educated Nigerians with poor English comprehension. Just so you understand, English comprehension refers to the ability to understand what you read or what is said......literacy is not just about the ability to read and write. The purpose of language is to communicate, if you do not understand (comprehend) what is being said or what you read, you are not communicating and are uneducated literate. If i say "possibly", i didnt say yes or no, if you chose to interpret that as yes or no, that is a failure of Comprehension. If I say "couple of minutes" and you dont understand that it means precisely "two minutes"..that's poor English comprehension. i am responsible for what I say but not responsible for your substandard education.

Business › Re: The End Of Naira, NGN, On Binance by casualobserver: 2:02pm On Mar 05, 2024 |
Faiththatworks: I feel very very very sad about this news. I don't understand why the Government is forcing binance to delist the naira from the exchange. It's a very very very bad idea,I have repeatedly said it on Nairaland that Government should regulate the activities of binance,but I totally disagree with removing the naira on the platform. Although some people may disagree but sincerely the naira has been a bit stable in the last 2 weeks since Government forced binance to stop allowing the naira to trade on the exchange. I was very critical of the modus operandi of binance and how it kept speculating on the value of the naira,If not for Government intervention,I'm sure the Naira would have been more than 2000 naira on the exchange. Now to how it will affect Nigerians,the CBN governor himself said 26 billion dollars was traded through binance last year,that's a very huge and staggering figure,I dare say it's just a little less than the annual budget of Nigeria,in essence binance is almost becoming a country in its own. The money traded on binance is almost equal to our foreign reserve,no industry in Nigeria can compete for dollar demand like that traded in Binance. Government must understand the crypto market with players like binance are helping Nigerians in meeting up some of its dollar need,and stopping the use of the naira on binance will lead to the downward spiral of the naira. Let us assume the 26 billion dollar traded on binance is true,I believe half must be demand from genuine people who want to maybe send or receive money. Government must understand this demand for crypto can't be wished away,if these people decide to source for their usd in the forex market,the CBN will never be able to meet up with the supply,and I'm sure even Mr Cardoso knows this. Nigeria doesn't have any Dollars right now to be used in meeting demand from crypto buyers. I advise Mr Cardoso to have a rethink,this is a policy somersault from his office,early this year he liberalised the use of crypto trading in Nigeria,now he's reversing the policy. I appeal to the Minister of Digital Economy,the NSA, Minister of Finance and the Minister of Youth Affairs have a round table on how to regulate the use of Crypto exchanges in Nigeria. This policy will Affect mostly young Nigerians,pls don't make it harder on them. God bless Nigeria 1: it appears Binance refuse to be regulated by Nigeria. Apart from whether or not they play a part in currency manipulation, a lot of money laundering goes on via their platform. Laundering by kidnappers, drug dealers and terrorists. 2:there are other alternatives to Binance…in fact from what I understand from the statement, you can still trade on Binance just not Naira. |
