Funny enough, i am yet to understand how Oshiomole was oppressing Obaseki,
Many atimes we hear of how godfathers appoint virtually all commisioners for a governor , or how godfathers request for a large sum of money recurrently, or how godfathers request to have a say in winning contracts for projects in the state. Apart from the semantics that he is a godfather and should be dealt with . I am forced to believe Obaseki is just unappreciative to his benefactor.

When you were courting, you probably were too busy exploring sex styles than knowing your partner.

The NW and NE have sown this madness for decades ,they are reaping what they have sown.

Millions of Almajiri children with no formal education and highly pumped with religious fanatism is a disaster waiting to happen.

My wife is presently in this country because we both have moved on from ''whatever happened in Africa''. Like I said I was not a perfect husband back in Africa like most people, but I was not a beast either. We were both busy professionals who needed more work on our marriage, period! We worked on some of those issues and decided to move forward and this is why everyone has now relocated abroad. Since all these troubles started, I have had multiple failed attempts to talk to my wife, I even prostrated to her a few times begging for peace, asking her to just state whatever she wants for us to live in harmony and raise our kids in a healthy environment in order not to jeopardise their future, she was just laughing at me instead and trying to record me on camera to send to her advisors and people back in Nigeria so they could mock me. She called someone on one occasion while I was down on the floor begging her, she said ''Come see this mumu guy, so he can actually prostrate for a woman, he hasn't seen anything yet. Abroad has made the idiot humble, bla bla bla''.

This woman acts like she is now in control of the whole world and has exclusive access to the launch codes of some nuclear weapons. She is so power drunk, she acts like she is under some kinda spell. Like someone who is high or just on a self-destructive path. Multiple begging, trying to make her understand that all these recklessness would affect everyone, especially our children. I have cajoled her, persuaded her to let us all live in peace. I have involved counsellors and even the pastor a few times when nothing seemed to have worked. The pastors have spoken to the both of us a few times, prayed, counselled us etc. The pastor's wife even took it upon herself to mentor her and coach her one on one. They warned her never to call the police for any reason again unless someone's life was in danger, but to put a call to them instead. After about three further police calls happened, the pastor and his wife felt so disrespected and thought they were just wasting their time on us, they stylishly pulled out from interfering in our issues.

I once ended up in the hospital because I suddenly burst into tears at work one day and they had to refer me to the mental health team because they thought I was depressed, which no doubt I am. We are here at this difficult point because nothing has worked so far. I just cannot understand how someone could be as reckless as this, working so hard at destroying something that could be nurtured into something beautiful. I was not a wife beater even back in Nigeria where some people get away with it, never stole her money, I did not kill her family, impregnate another woman, so I don't really know what this ''revenge'' is all about.

That Self destructive issssh that takes over many women once they think they have power. Many can't control the power. After the divorce threat in Nigeria, she was baiting for revenge and was NOT any remorseful. She wanted the divorce, but outside Nigeria. I am sure with a bit of a clear head, you will be strategic enough to get out of this sane and less injured.

You need to be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove. I am not a harbinger of bad news, however the marriage is technically over except God touches her heart. I analysed all you said so far on this thread. She does NOT love you. I am married and do not live in Nigeria. I understand the danger in your situation. Sadly, i have to tell you she is like an enemy within. Self defense of your career,life and residency is key NOW. Things will most likely get worse once she is financially independent.

What happened to fathers? I think they have failed in raising boys to pick their future partner. How can you be with someone at best a one night stand, and still be asking this fuckery?

jakD:
At least pictures are shown here, but Nigeria's case keeps rising and deaths keep increasing with no pictures of even where they're being buried.
Anyway, may God save we the masses.

So Nigeria with less than 100 deaths reported is what you are comparing with over 60,000 deaths in the US. Was Abba kyari burial pictures and videos shown or not? Your reasoning capability is weak. You make shallow postulations.

The rate of testing is terribly slow. The slower the rate of testing, the faster the spread of the disease. As of now close to 20% of people tested are positive with covid-19
8000 test and 800 infected is average of 10% positive.

Sokoto state has the least number compared to other 35 states..... Naija my Kuntry.

This statistics is surely Gbas Gbos....

Yustash001:
Here it's only 4 cups of stony rice we saw....they brought 3 bags to the community, the chief (baaale) alone carried 2 bags and a bag was shared among the community dwellers....

The boldened pretty sums up the average Nigerian. The greed is from the top to the bottom.

Spicyme:
And if you have kids?

You only have to apply for the child care benefits, the GST gets calculated automatically

This discovery and seizure is valuable than killing 1000 bH members in my opinion. In wars of this nature, killing the enemy on the logistics front is one of the most important component of the war. Anytime you seize the warfare weapon, food, fuel, water e.t.c you decapitate them , and defeating the enemy is almost certain.

PLSHELEP:
Seniors, any guidance on GST/HST credit... Being a newcomer and unable to get a job or know how long this lockdown would last for, is it advised to apply as soon as possible, and from experience is there any demerits with applying so soon?

Would appreciate honest replies... Thanks

If you came before April 2020 and over 19 years of age, and dont have kids, Fill the RC151 form(check for on the CRA website) and send to your tax centre. you will declare your 2018 and 2019 income converted to CAD before you came to Canada. You Qualify as long as you are PR or have a valid work permit .

Nice broadcast, good moves.

But I was expecting ‘ I have directed the CBN to pay in 250k to all 40Millions verified BVN accounts in Nigeria.

But it didn’t happen.

that will be 10 thrillion naira. Except govt. will order CBN to print Naira, i don't see how that will happen. Moreover, such payment will exclude the poorest of the poor as they mostly do not have bank accounts as such not financially inclusive.

Could they have removed the brain of the widow and replace with sawdust for this to have happened?

MiVida:
I recently met a girl in school, she's all I want in a woman , she's too beautiful well mannered BUT, she is making life in school hard for me! I've taken her to my parents already and hers are trying to get to know me which is cool.

But the rate at which this girl monitors me in school is embarrassing! I don't have any female friends cos of her. I had to call a good friend of mine (a girl) this afternoon in front of her to tell the girl to keep her space just because my girlfriend saw me give her a hug! I didn't initiate the hug, the girl called out my name and opened her arms and to avoid being rude, you can't decline a hug and that was why it happened.

My girlfriend insists I don't keep female friends, in fact, she prefers I stay alone in school. I'm getting tired, I getting fed up, she's always monitoring me everywhere and I have a reputation to maintain in school. Now I can't laugh over a girl's joke cos I have a girlfriend and it's not like I have time for her in school as that's the only time I have my little freedom, cos outside school she's always at my place and it's suffocating enough...now she brings this attitude to school... I'm tired and don't know what to do!

She is all you want in a woman, then why are you complaining? Identify what you NEED, and not what you WANT. Once you know what you need, go for that. I bet most of what you want are the girls physical features, and you then convince yourself she is well mannered You are complaining about your girls ill manner, and bold enough to write she is well mannered . You are confused.

i think they befit one another.

Good formal and informal education helps ADULTS make better life decisions including choice of life partner, but when you deny young girls who are not adults or barely adults little or no form of formal education and yoke them in a marriage, this is the outcome. The NW and NE alone as a country would have been the worst country in terms of human development index in the world. Can a bird fly with one wing? The second wing are the female members of the NW &NE, the wing has been clipped.

GREATESTPIANIST:
shut up dia, we are different

Then if you can't stand the smoke , stay out of the kitchen. Only an idioott doesn't know that online trolls are always lurking around "celebrities" page. To be worked up and crying like a toddler over an unknown troll saying or writing shit online signifies a low self esteem or high level depression. By the way, you are not smart.

How can someone be so foolish to be crying because of what an online troll says ? That is the height of low self esteem. All these celebrities that get easily worked up over what internet trolls writes are mentally and emotionally deficient

There is no crime to copy a template, it can even be improved. It is good to see the SE governors agreeing to this security network

I beg to differ! bottom line is Fashola who is always pontificating and telling others to think outside the box has no deliverables to show. I said it in 2015 in 2015 that the myth of fashola will be broken at the federal level and so it is proving. There are innovative ways to get funding for a road. After all where did Amaechi get money for his rail projects. But when you are more intrerested in "other benefits", sometimes you mind does not think clearly...i'll just leave it at that. Amaechi is a focused man, if one door closes he opens another, thats why he is delivering left right and center.

What happenned to Fashola's 4th mainland, Metroline, lekki express? why are they all failures? if you know you know!!

I don't know what axe you have to grind with Fashola as a person, You have failed to tell me how you arrived at the 50% completion before he came on board as works minister.
Fashola has shown lots of innovative ways to get funding for road projects as some roads . PPP arrangement with Dangote for tax waiver to construct Federal roads is one example, a federal executive order was signed to that effect.. I think you have failed to realise this because you have your personal issues with him.

isthatso:
you are free to list them.


If people find it hard to list your achievements, it's probably because you dont have any. if you have to look for small wins, then ithat too is a sign your underperformed. You can give reasons, or excuses but underperformance is underperformance. Bottom line is there is nothing to show...There is no legacy, there is nothing that if he were to leave today he will be remmembered by!! This like it or not is a FACT!!

If you talk a good talk then you must walk a good walk.

You are only as good as your last achievements, ask Arsene Wenger or Mike Tyson. Even if you were once worth the hype, if you cannot bring that level of performance to today's task, you are past it as the very best.

While this thread is more on the 2nd Niger Bridge, i follow the news to know that Major parts of the power sector has been privatised. However, i still see projects constructed and some commissioned in the power sector, He also developed a road map for the power sector. i know of the power projects across the Federal Universities in Nigeria to ensure they are self sufficient, some have been completed. I know of the Kaduna power plant, Gurara power projects have been completed. ,Zungeru dam projects, Mambilla power projects that are at different stages of completion, I know his effort to ensure that fixed charges are removed on Prepaid meters e.t.c Some projects will take time . He is a good planner, that i am certain of. The power ministry is no longer under his watch, but i hope the new Minister improves what he met on ground.

isthatso:
maybe my figure is random but the difference between that road in 2015 and today is not much. The work that was done pre 2015 is more than what has been done since

Very incorrect. Up until i left my former work place late 2017. The most work done was in the year 2017. I don't know the current situation i must confess. But i was working along that expressway from 2012-2017. The rate of change in late 2016 to mid 2017 was massive. As at late 2017 the completion stage was like 50%. 2015, couldn't have been anything more than 10% completion factoring work done by Julius Berger and RCC.

isthatso:
Go to school for English lessons. I never said Lagos Ibadan rail has been delivered. Feel free to show me. What I said is that the rail has been completed, which is a remarkable feat considering this project was only started in 2017. The track is completed the trains are running, it is only the stations remaining. FAshola on the other hand inherited a project which was already approximately 50% complete when he became minister and their has been little progress. The other thing I said which you are free to prove me wrong is FAshola has not completed ANY meaningful project or come close to finishing any in his 5 years as minister. Furthermore he was a complete disaster as power minister...hence his removal.

I don’t know why the need for insults and how bigotry entered a debate about facts. I am Yoruba, if anything I suspect you are also Yoruba, this proving you are the bigot. As clearly you are more interested in defending tribe that facts.

Amaechi is a super achiever and the best minister Nigeria has had since 1999, FAshola has exposed himself as overrated...these are facts. FAshola has nothing on ground to show! Amaechi completed, Abuja Kaduna rail, has completed itakpe Warri rail, has commissioned airports, has more of less finished Lagos Ibadan and is already embarking on others, yet FAshola has yet to show a completed project.

Amaechi gets on with the job while FAshola is always giving one excuse or the other always blaming someone or the other. The truth is if you examine his performance level while governor of Lagos, his only major achievement was security and increasing IGR but what did he do with the IGR? You guess is as good as mine, a few token poor quality projects for a people used and content with mediocrity! . With the amount of money available to LASG, he was a monumental failure. He is now being exposed at the federal level.

Lagos -Ibadan expressway was not 50% as at May 2015, it was barely 10% completed. Where did you pull the 50% completion from. Don't argue with me, because my office was along the expressway, and i commute every fortnight from Ibadan to Lagos, and vice-versa. There are several housing projects completed within states. Fashola faced lots of pushback regarding the big works projects, because he tried prioritising projects based on geographical regions rather than states, and the National assembly in their typical foolishness wanted focus on states for projects that there were not even designed yet. Nigeria also witnessed terrible recession from 2016- part of 2018 that affected funds disbursement to budgeted projects. Don't turn situation on its head. I can bet there are lots of small wins made by Fashola in the power sector also.

Titogbanski:
Prices virtually remained the same for five years or even reduced....pls cite a practical example to refute not English

you are the one that should prove that inflation rate was zero. I bet you pulled out that from your asss. If you have a worthy reference, put the link here. Even Developed Countries don;t have inflation rate at Zero.

Simply let him join you in the laundry process by giving him small stuffs like handkerchief , and underpants to watch e . A research conducted stated children who does house chores are less susceptible to depression in Adulthood.

Say Almajiri not orphans. The Northern political leadership has failed in all ramifications. The bulk of North west and east of the Country is a time bomb that will explode most things being equal in 10 years from now. The poverty is alarming, and the uneducated youths stuffed with dangerous religious ideologies are in millions.

Discombulator:
Must you people find a way to ridicule your country I'm every thread,this country is cursed with the set of people that inhabit it,will done Collins.

It is quite sickening. Any little opportunity, they will belittle the same country they are living in. They are quick to blame and castigate everyother person as the bad person except themselves.

Lucas4903:
I wonder why it is convenient for people to just write what they dont know about. I live in quebec and thank God I am "struggling". I won't argue much but it is better to experience than to draw conclusions from the experience of a few people. Yes Nigerians are leaving Quebec in droves to Ontario or elsewhere because of the language barrier. I was the only English speaking guy where I was employed I took it with open arms and learnt my French on the go. Now I speak fluent french and now I have the whole of Canada right in my hands. Applied and Got another job with Air Canada. French speaking was the edge I had. I moved to Manitoba as that is where I am stationed. Depending on what you want, u can make ur decision. My kids also speak better French than me. I did not limit myself or my kids in a country where we plan to live for God knows how long. Please if because of the experience of few people u are drawing conclusions be careful. As a rule if I have not experienced anything I dont comment, you can't be living in Lagos and be saying the way El Rufai is ruling Kaduna is bad. You know nothing.

You simply affirmed what the other guy you quote stated. Or is there any message you are trying to pass?. . The statement you made in quote "I won't argue much but it is better to experience than to draw conclusions from the experience of a few people" somewhat validates your personal experience as unreliable.

We didn't know sucide could even exist in Nigeria some 10years back now it's daily news

It was underreported. Internet penetration and socia media has improved news reporting. There are so many blogs and news outlets now.

CanadaOrBust:
I know u r just being funny but let’s continue. He never mentioned his pregnant wife from 2017 here. Don’t u think that’s rather strange? What excuse would u give 4 him?

Marital status change easily na. People dont divorce ,separate or die anymore. Is polygamy also outlawed in Nigeria?? Do we know if the earlier thread question by op was also for a pregnant " arrangee wife" as part of immigration scams by Nigerians ?? I am not stating he is genuine, but there is no sufficient evidence to also state his claim is not genuine.
