| Family › Are You & Your Partner Financially Compatible? by Chinum(op): 11:53am On Jul 01, 2015 |
What factors did you consider before choosing your spouse or partner? Many people consider appearance, income, spirituality and how this person makes them feel. The right choice enhances your prospects of living a successful life while the wrong choice can cause pain. This is why one must consider all aspects before going into a relationship with another person. Please do not enter into a relationship with anyone without knowing if you are financially compatible. Being financially compatible means seeking to know if you fit when it comes to financial matters; it doesn’t mean that both of you make similar financial decisions. The key is to understand each other’s viewpoints when it comes to earning, saving, investing and spending money and achieving a balance. It is imperative that you check your views on money because disagreements over money has led to many divorces and break ups today. Nearly all of us are guilty of not considering where our partner stands on money issues before taking the plunge, only to discover later that it can seriously affect the relationship. SuzeOrman, one of America’s authorities on personal finance developed a financial compatibility quiz, published in Yahoo Finance which I have reproduced below. The rule for participation is to complete the quiz for your partner. Please go ahead to make a copy and give to your partner to also assess you: Within each group of statements below, circle the statement that best describes your mate. A. Fails to adequately tip the waiter in restaurants as a matter of course. B. Seems unusually taken with luxury items, like wildly expensive cars, clothes, or gadgets. C. Has a weekly date with friends betting and gambling D Never balances the checkbook, and/or regularly bounces checks. E. Keeps the checkbook balanced at all times. **************************************** A. Invites you to dinner, chooses the restaurant, then complains about the prices on the menu. B. Expresses material longings for things–vacations, jewelry, etc.–way beyond his or her budget. C. Constantly buys and sell stocks for the thrill of it, rather than as carefully considered economic moves. D. Seems to regard his or her parents or others as a source of income. E. Is saving the maximum allowed by law in retirement accounts, and monitors all these investments to make sure they are performing to the best of their ability. *************************************** A. Complains about child support obligations. B. Tries to impress your friends by bragging about money. C. Prefers to take vacations in places where there is gambling. D. Has a messy wallet, or a wallet full of maxed-out credit cards but absolutely no cash. E. Never buys an item to impress others, and never brags about money. *************************************** A. Talks about using his or her business expense account for personal items. B. Cannot pay off bills at the end of every month. C. Cannot get up and walk away from a gambling table, even if losing badly. D. Spends money on a new pair of expensive shoes, even though other bills are overdue. E. Loves to talk about finances and is open to teaching you. **************************************** A. Seems uncomfortable using the pronoun “we”. B. Can never go into a store without buying an item whether he or she needs it or not. C. Is constantly baffled where the paycheck went. D. Receives calls from bill collectors. E. Is charitable and generous and does not define him- or herself by how much is in the bank account. **************************************** [color=#000000]A. Would never put loose change into a donation box after making a purchase. B. Gives you unusually expensive gifts that you know he or she can’t afford. C. Is constantly placing bets, be it on a backgammon game or an office pool. D. Avoids talking about money and acts like everything is just fine when you suspect it isn’t. E. Pays all the bills on time, and rarely carries a balance on credit cards. [/color] **************************************** Scoring: Now count how many of each letter you have circled and record the number below. A____B____C____ D____E____ The letter with the largest number reveals your partner’s primary money traits. The key: A = Penny pincher B = SpendthriftC = GamblerD = Financial wreckE = Financial catch Okay, so what to do with this information? Start talking. If you are far apart you need to see where you can find some common ground. I don’t care how in love you are now, or how much you insist it doesn’t matter that you are a financial catch and your partner is a financial wreck. It does matter. A lot. And the longer you are together, the more it is going to matter. Disagreements over money, a failure to have a united financial game plan, are among the biggest factors in busted relationships. But I also want to remind you to be patient. If you are financial opposites you are not going to resolve your differences in one conversation. Still, over the course of many conversations, where you can both express your own concerns and also truly hear your partner’s, you can begin to build a financial arrangement that works for both of you. Remember that financial intimacy, like any other kind, takes time and effort. http://businessdayonline.com/2015/07/are-you-your-partner-financially-compatible/#.VZPHEThFAdU 1 Like |

| Family › Why Hands Are Best Marriage Counsellors by Chinum(op): 12:15pm On Jun 23, 2015 |
By Azuka Onwuka Have you ever tried to wash one hand with itself? It’s like trying to clap with one hand. Indeed, when you wash one hand with itself, it will not be clean. To be truly clean, the two hands must wash each other. The left hand washes the right hand, and the right hand washes the left hand. The right hand focuses entirely on ensuring that the left hand is clean, while the left hand does the same thing. By the time this selfless service is over, the two hands become sparkling clean. Ironically, married couples wash their hands everyday without realising that the solution to a happy marriage is in their hands. If they pay a close attention to the relationship between the two hands, they would learn great lessons that no marriage counsellor or marriage book can ever teach them. And it is for free. Married people fret over how their spouses treat them. Each spouse always expects to be paid special attention. It does not matter that the same spouse does not give the other partner the same special treatment. That underlines the selfishness in human beings. Human beings always think of self first. The root cause of conflict in marriage is too much focus on oneself. Marriage is less about self and more about the union. Singles can let the earth revolve around them. But once married, one should de-emphasise self and emphasise the partner. The primary responsibility of a married man is not to provide food, shelter and security for his wife but to ensure that his wife is happy: food, shelter and security are part of those life essentials that cause happiness. The primary responsibility of a married woman is not to cook for her husband, take care of the home and warm his bed, but to ensure that her husband is happy: food, homecare and lovemaking are part of the life essentials that cause happiness. Therefore, a man has failed in his duty if his wife is unhappy. A woman has also failed in her duty if the husband is unhappy. If the woman is unhappy, the man has no business being happy. If the man is unhappy, the woman has no reason to be happy. It does not matter who or what caused the unhappiness. The unhappiness may have been caused by forces outside the home. But the duty of a married person is to ensure that even if the storm of life has buffeted the spouse outside the home, once inside the home, the spouse should be safe and at ease. That way, the spouse is always eager to run back home. Before taking a decision, a married person should not be only concerned about self satisfaction. The concern should be: “Will this make my spouse happy? Will this make our union happier?” For example, before a man contemplates beating his wife to prove that he is the head of the home or before going after other women because “it is a man’s world,” he should ask himself if it would make the wife happy. Would he be happy if his wife also sleeps with other men? If a woman enjoys being beaten or being cheated upon, then it is either the woman is sick or completely detached from the man. The man should be seriously worried because his death may just be a matter of time. Even if the woman does not have any murderous inclination, she will not be concerned if there is a threat to the man’s life. Her excuse would be: “After all, I did not have a hand in his death.” She would not mourn the man for one second, even if she wears sackcloth for two years. She would be relieved that the nuisance is finally gone and she is free. Such is no marriage. The argument of many married people is usually: “My wife is the reason I don’t like to stay at home”. “My heart skips a beat anytime I hear the voice of my husband close to the house.” “My wife is simply impossible.” “My husband is a sadist: nothing satisfies him like making me unhappy.” “You don’t know anything about my wife: she is a different type of human being.” So, if your spouse was this devilish, what was the attraction in the first place? No, your spouse is not a monster. Both of you have simply lost it! Communication between you two has broken down, and you have stopped caring about each other’s happiness. These days, you actually seek to hurt each other. Rather than do things for your partner, you expect your partner to do things for you first before you can reciprocate. Consequently, both of you wait for the other to start. No, the hands don’t act like that when they want to wash each other. That wait may be forever. The hands just start washing each other mechanically, without bothering about which hand should take the first step. It is very difficult to subdue your desires and wishes and focus on those of your spouse. There is always the feeling that you may end up being cheated: you may make the other happy without the person reciprocating. But in life, these things take care of themselves spontaneously. If strangers can reciprocate your good gestures, why won’t someone who loves you reciprocate? Even wild animals reciprocate kindness and love. The reason your spouse seems irredeemable is because of years of being taken for granted and fed a surfeit of unkind words and actions. Your spouse has complained and complained and given up on you. You have also given up on your spouse. But that spouse can change in the twinkling of an eye if treated with dignity and shown love. Some would ask why they have to focus on seeking the happiness of their spouse when they also have their own life to live. “Why should I not live my own life? Am I on earth to please someone else?” But that is why marriage is different from single life. There are many things married people do, not because they like them, but because they want a happy home. That is why marriage is full of sacrifices. The knowledge that you have sacrificed things for your spouse fills your spouse with pride and increases the love within. However, in focusing on the happiness of your spouse, there is a caveat. As a thinking being, you should know the boundary between satisfying your spouse and compromising your principles and beliefs. If your husband tells you to sleep with another man to get a business contract, should you do it because you think it will make him happy? No. Once he gets the contract and the money, he will despise you as an unfaithful wife and look for another wife. Give and you shall be given, goes the biblical injunction. It does not say: “If you are given, then you have to give.” You are required to give first. Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you. Smile and you shall be smiled at. Love others and you shall be loved by others. Help others and you shall receive help. Show mercy to others and you shall obtain mercy. These are not mere religious injunctions. They are tried-and-tested life principles. In life you simply reap what you sow. In marriage, you also reap what you sow, because marriage is life. http://www.punchng.com/opinion/why-hands-are-best-marriage-counsellors/ 1 Like |

| Sports › NFF Goes For Foreign Coaches by Chinum(op): 9:53am On Jun 19, 2015 |
In the wake of the Flying Eagles and the Super Falcons’ unimpressive outings on the international scene, the Nigeria Football Federation seems to be looking towards the direction of expatriate coaches to handle the national teams. While the football house would insist on having expatriates head the technical crews of the various national teams, the back-room staff would still be headed by the indigenous coaches.PINNICK-NFF “The foreign coaches will be given convenient nomenclatures like ‘technical advisers or technical directors with the indigenous coaches working under them,”our source said. The Flying Eagles crashed out in the second round of the 2015 Fifa U20 World Cup in New Zealand while the Super Falcons were shown the exit door in the group stage of the 2015 Fifa Women’s World Cup in Canada. According to a top NFF source, the Glass House has instructed top level football technocrats to shop for three technically competent coaches who would train the Flying Eagles, Super Falcons and the Golden Eaglets. The three tacticians are expected to come with their backroom staff but they would work with those Nigerians sent to England for courses in the technical study. The coaches who are expected to commence work in July would be expected to develop templates for the three teams as well as train potential coaches that would handle the teams in future. It was also reported that the NFF will outsource the payment of the three foreign coaches through Public Private Partnership (PPP) with words rife that the federation chiefs are keeping the names of their partners under wraps until the details are sealed with all those involved. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/nff-goes-for-foreign-coaches/#sthash.yrsHEYVS.dpuf 3 Likes |

| Politics › Lagos, 22 Others Collected N586.6bn IGR In 2014 – NBS by Chinum(op): 10:00am On Jun 18, 2015 |
The National Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday released a snapshot of the Internally Generated Revenue profile of 23 states of the federation for the year 2014, which generated N586.6bn in total in the fiscal period. The IGR, according to the NBS report, was earned from four major sources. They are Pay-As-You-Earn, direct assessment, road taxes and other revenues. The bureau stated in the report, a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent in Abuja, that Lagos State recorded the highest IGR of N276.1bn in the period under review. The N276.1bn generated by Lagos last year was N108.1bn or 28.1 per cent lower than the N384.2bn, which the state earned as IGR in the 2013 fiscal period. Further analysis revealed that the amount that Lagos earned in 2014 was also 47 per cent of what all the other 22 states collected as IGR in the same period. The report stated that while the figures for the other 13 states were still being expected, Rivers State, with a total IGR of N89.1bn, followed on the revenue chart. The N89.1bn earned by Rivers State represented an increase of N1.19bn when compared to the N87.91bn for 2013. Others are Akwa Ibom, with N15.6bn; Anambra, N10.4bn; Bayelsa, N10.9bn; Enugu, N19.2bn; Katsina, N6.2bn; Kogi, N6.5bn; Ekiti, N3.4bn; Osun, N8.5bn; Oyo, N16.3bn; and Imo, N8.1bn. The rest are Niger, N5.7bn; Plateau, N8.2bn; Zamfara, N3.1bn; Delta, N42.8bn; Benue, N8.2bn; Bauchi, N4.8bn; Kaduna, N12.7bn; Katsina, N6.2bn; Kebbi, N3.8bn; Nasarawa, N4.05bn; Ogun, N17.4bn; Sokoto, N5.6bn and Zamfara, N3.1bn. The report listed the 13 states that had yet to provide details of their IGR for 2014 as Abia, Adamawa, Borno, Cross River, Ebonyi, Edo, Gombe, Jigawa, Kano, Kwara, Ondo, Taraba and Yobe. The IGR made by the states excludes the monthly allocations, which they receive from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee. For instance, the sum of N7.75tn was shared among the three tiers of government in the 2014 fiscal period. An analysis of the monthly distribution made by our correspondent also showed that the N7.75tn distributed last year represented a decline of N150bn or 1.89 per cent over the N7.9tn, which the committee allocated in the 2013 fiscal period. The Federation Account is currently being managed on a legal framework that allows funds to be shared under three major components, statutory allocation, Value Added Tax distribution and allocation made under the derivation principle. Under statutory allocation, the Federal Government gets 52.68 per cent of the shared revenue; states, 26.72 per cent; and local governments, 20.60 per cent. The framework also provides that Value Added Tax revenue be shared thus; Federal Government, 15 per cent; states, 50 per cent; and local governments, 35 per cent http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/lagos-22-others-collected-n586-6bn-igr-in-2014-nbs/ |

| Politics › Egypt Court Sentences Deposed President Mursi, Brotherhood Leaders To Death by Chinum(op): 9:30am On Jun 17, 2015 |
An Egyptian court sentenced deposed President Mohamed Mursi to death on Tuesday on charges of killing, kidnapping and other offences during a 2011 mass jail break. The general guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and four other Brotherhood leaders were also handed the death penalty. More than 80 others were sentenced to death in absentia. Earlier on Tuesday, the court sentenced Mursi to life in prison in a separate case related to conspiring with foreign groups. The Islamist became Egypt’s first democratically elected president after the downfall of longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011 but was himself overthrown by the army in 2013 after mass protests against his rule. The court last month convicted Mursi and his fellow defendants of killing and kidnapping policemen, attacking police facilities and breaking out of jail during the 2011 uprising against Mubarak. The death sentence request had drawn criticism from the United States, other Western governments and human rights groups. After Tuesday’s sentencing, a senior Muslim Brotherhood member said the trial had “fallen below all international standards”. “This verdict is a nail in the coffin of democracy in Egypt,” Yahya Hamid, a former minister in Mursi’s cabinet and head of international relations for the Brotherhood, told a news conference in Istanbul. Mursi, Badie and 15 others were also given life sentences — which under Egyptian law, means serving 25 years for conspiring with the Palestinian group Hamas, which rules Gaza. They included senior Brotherhood figures Essam el-Erian and Saad el-Katatni. The court sentenced Muslim Brotherhood leaders Khairat el-Shater, Mohamed el-Beltagy and Ahmed Abdelaty to death in the same case. Death sentences were also handed to 13 other defendants in absentia. The verdicts can be appealed. Judge Shaaban el-Shami, said the Grand Mufti, Egypt’s top religious authority, had said in his opinion that the death sentence was permissible for the defendants who had been referred to him. Mursi, dressed in a blue prison suit, was calm and smiled slightly as the judge read out the first sentence in the court in the Police Academy. The defendants chanted “Down, down with military rule,” as they were led into the court. Mursi has said the court is not legitimate, describing legal proceedings against him as part of a coup led by former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in 2013. Since Mursi’s overthrow, Egyptian authorities have waged a crackdown on Islamists in which hundreds have been killed and thousands arrested. Sisi, now president, says the Brotherhood poses a grave threat to national security. The group maintains it is committed to peaceful activism. http://businessdayonline.com/2015/06/egypt-court-sentences-mursi-brotherhood-leaders-to-death/#.VYEv5zhFAdU |
