I can never marry a woman with Mills-&-Boons expectations of life. They are dangerously boring, they are nags, and they are soon bereft of liveliness when you think you should both be settling down to tackle life.

Initially, she used to deal with me as I was one of those who believed you had to treat beautiful girls specially because they are beautiful, else they walked out on you. It all changed when I read somewhere that a girl is a girl, whether beautiful or plain. And so I began to act up like I was fed up. Come see as she dey cry dey need me always. And I really used the chance to catch up on all the fun she had deprived me of.

But seriously, I have found it fun to deal with non-Nigerian girls, whether they are white or black. It seems non-9ja babes are just simply dumb and gullible; I mean it. I enjoy watching them blubber about. Please don't condemn me, but it is just so funny. The dumbest girls are from France, followed by those from the Central and East African countries, then American ladies come third on the scale. Arab babes are foolish, but their men protect them too well.

Hope they don't practice Santeria.

You are possessed.

I would forgive her, because it is clear what she wants is better lovemaking. At least that is better than her confessing to lesbianism.

That woman who dares throw my stuff in the street. I for give am red card, and if she no gree leave my house, I sell the house secretly first, buy my return ticket home, give her a black eye, then I am back home in a twinkle.

The truth must come out on this one. There are so many discrepancies already.

Those that doubt tbjosh are those that dnt have access in watching emmanuel tv station. A question 4 u all, had it been it was JESUS would u have belive him,, 2,  Hope u know the story in the bible that tels us when  Jesus fixed back the ear of that soldier that try to arest him,but the soldier ear was cut of by one of jesus disciple,i bet u will say it was pre arange by jesus nd it desciple ,and it was directed by peter, the editor was john,,do u knw if the story is true, .d poster say he "learnt that the man was paid 100k ", if we ar al educated as we claim dat means  the 100k issue was nt part of the original story bt an eardrop or gosip trash that he had 4rm an unknwn source,. Jbjosh is as real as jesus story is real

I watch EmmanuelTV, and I must say, TBJ never preaches. He just gives good social messages - God says you should be good, God says you should not sin, and so on; superficial messages that anybody can hash out. As for his miracles, you can see an element of stagecraft there. His prophecies are never ones to help you out of any problem, as they concern totally pointless issues like football and wrestling match outcomes. Jesus did things to touch the soul, not engage in sensationalism. His ministry was profound, not something of a film show. And he was impeccable in his lifestyle of holiness. Not one person could accuse him, even falsely, of immorality; a thing TBJ has often been accused of.

Nollywood-style miracle.

Provided she has a track record of good performance before then, no problem. But if it is the first time she is in charge, definitely I am not traveling again. Same thing goes if it were a guy on his first time in charge.

You all gotta realize that the woman has so much in common with the man. Much as men are able, women are more able. Your girlfriend can look you squarely in the eye and tell you a white lie. She might even mingle it with the most heart-wrenching weeping, for which you will comfort her and tell her 'sorry', for lying to you. To cap it all up, I am saying it is never an absolute certainty to know when she is lying to you. So, let sleeping dogs lie.

THERE were hints yesterday that petrol (Premium Motor Spirit) may sell for about N120 per litre, if fuel subsidy is withdrawn. Finance Minister Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has said the removal of fuel subsidy next year is inevitable – to keep the economy afloat and rebuild infrastructure. The hint on the new pump price emanated from a fact-sheet presented to select leaders of four political parties at a Monday night meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The document states that subsidy must go, in the interest of the nation’s future and the masses.

Mrs Okonjo-Iweala, however, unveiled some safety nets being planned by the government to ameliorate the effects of the withdrawal of the subsidy. She said between 2006 and 2011, the nation spent N3,655.17 trillion to subsidise fuel. The cash is 30 per cent of the total expenditure, 118% of the capital expenditure and 4.18% of the GDP. “Subsidy does not get to the poor; the middle and upper classes are the real beneficiaries. It is clearly unsustainable,” said the Minister. “Subsidy in 2011 alone so far is over N1.3trillion, which is higher than our capital budget. Evidence shows that the price of fuel in Nigeria is below both the African and international average. Nigeria, with its large population and small oil base, is comparatively poor, compared to other oil producers. Compared to other oil producing countries, Nigeria has a significantly lower GDP per capita; substantially less oil revenue per capita and greater social. With total crude oil production of approximately 2.5million barrels per day, Nigeria has a significantly lower GDP per capita. Nigeria’s GDP per capita is around $1200 per year, with over 167million in population. Therefore, we must rethink our approach to managing our scarce resources to provide services to Nigerians. We will be better off using the amount spent on subsidy to target poorer groups and big infrastructure projects.”

Mrs Okonjo-Iweala hinted on what the pump price might look like next year, if the subsidy is removed. She said: “Under the current downstream sector structure, prices are not determined by demand and supply. Pump price of PMS is fixed at N65 per litre by the government. The landing cost of a litre of PMS is about N123 per litre, based on an average crude oil price of US$113.98pb. To this, add the cost of distributing, bridging and profit margins of N15.72 per litre. This results in effective cost of N139/litre. In 2012, the landing cost of a litre of PMS is estimated at N104/litre, based on a crude oil price of US$90pb. To this add the cost of distributing, bridging and profit margins of N15.72/litre. This results in effective cost of N120 per litre. Fuel subsidy is what is paid by government to keep prices below free market. The subsidy causes distortions that result in huge economic costs such as rent-seeking behaviour and smuggling. The amount of subsidy equals to the difference between the consumer pump price of fuel versus the total cost of producing or importing. The price of petrol is N65 per litre, but actual cost of supply is N139 per litre. And projected at N120 per litre in 2012. This means that currently for every one litre of petrol purchased at the official price of N65, government contributes N73. Presently, only petrol and kerosene enjoy government subsidy. Diesel has already successfully been deregulated.”

The Minister, who is also co-ordinating the economy, made in-depth submissions on why the removal of subsidy has become necessary. She said: “Subsidy is a major fiscal and financial burden on the nation. From 2006 -2011, about N3.7trillion was spent on subsidy. In 2011, N1.348trillion was spent between January and October and it is expected to reach N1.436trillion by the end of the year. This represents 30 per cent of total Federal Government Expenditure; 118% of the capital budget; and 4.18% of GDP."

The breakdown of fuel subsidy in the past five years is as follows: She added: “The large increase observed in 2011 is as a result of (i) increased crude oil price from US $81.25 per barrel(pb) to $US 113.98pb; (b) exchange rate movements; (c) larger volumes consume(about 35m litres per day); and (iv) N150billion of kerosene carried over from 2009 and 2010."

The minister listed six benefits of deregulation. She said: “Deregulation implies limited intervention by government; it allows for better regulation and transparency; allows for free operation activities in the sector; attracts new investors into the market and it increases competition and promotes overall higher productivity; reduces scarcity by ensuring adequate supply of petroleum products; and similar success story to the telecommunication sector.” The Minister also reeled out social safety nets in the pipeline for Nigerians, if the subsidy is removed. These are:
•Launching of Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE);
•Maternal and child health services;
•Public works/youth employment programme;
•Urban mass transit scheme
•Vocational training schemes; and
•High-profile infrastructure projects: Roads and rail; water resources, power; refineries (with private sector).

She said: “Structures have been developed to guarantee adequate oversight, accountability and implementation of the various projects. To ensure effectiveness, efficiency and delivery, high powered committee of eminent Nigerians to monitor revenue proceeds and proper implementation and use of the amount saved. Members with proven integrity will be drawn from the Nigerian youth, women groups and civil society organisations.”

I don't seem to understand this woman qualification,WAEC,DIPLOMA,MASTER,, how did she get to master degree,did jump from diploma to master,can some educate me cos this confusion is getting worst.what I know is after your Diploma,u go for either HND,HD,or Bsc plus postgraduate diploma if the need be,before going for Master.

Ah ah! Don't you know that in her days, if you had a 1st-class Diploma you proceeded straight to Masters? :-D

@Onlytruth, apart from these pictures you have publicized here and elsewhere, what other steps have you taken to help these folks? Is there any fund you've started for them, any initiative (for real I'd contribute to its success)? Or are you practicing [b]Koinange[/b]ism?

Horus:
It will happen only if Nigeria get rid of corruption.

What you should rather say is that it will be so when the corruption margin is reduced. Corruption cannot be utterly expunged from any world system today.

@$ugardaddy, I can see you are bent on being the dummy. Tell me, what is smart about boasting about your infidelity? Is that what makes you smart? It's not like you are the only one doing it, but why pip about it as if it was something to be proud of? Most of us do it, but we wish we weren't, and so we keep our lips sealed. What you are doing is what young inexperienced boys do, kiss-and-tell. You don't broadcast the cockroach in your cupboard, because one day the rooster will come home to roost, and then you will rue the day.

$ugardaddy:
You're not smart, otherwise you would have read from my post that their isn't any room for that.

Look who's talking about smart. Smart choices involve letting your partner in on what you are enjoying, and letting her go for it. And let me tell you, the day she discovers what you are doing, then I bet you will be dumber than a donkey.

How much I value my girlfriend! I'd say -- hmmmmmm -- she owes me N5. That's definitely -5naira

@$ugardaddy, please what is your wife's name, where do you live, and where does she work? I want to meet her so she can sponsor me too. I seem to be developing a liking for married women.

Make una no mind this guy joor. He is in a relationship with another woman and is only looking for an excuse to divorce his wife. I am sure they have been married for at least five years. So why is he only seeing it now that she doesn't have respect? After all those years, not counting when they dated, of chopping and sucking the babe dry, he wants to jump to the next person. Let him come out with the plain truth and tell us that he wants to practice progressive polygamy.

And I say 'Amen' to this. Nigeria shall be Africa's largest economy before 2020. Please, everyone, let us adopt the TAB (Think-Act-Be) philosophy, and we would have helped our nation attain high standing in the comity of nations. Thank you.

Hmm! Please don't think you are going to go for another engine, and that it will run as fast as the Murano engine. Murano competes very well with V8. So go service your engine. The problem might be from the gearbox, and sometimes from the fuel pump, which makes the car rev slower without going off at times.

Elizadath, go buy a coffin and pay for the expenses for your funeral; she will kill you. Bye. After all, no be me send you.

Well well well. What I'm about to say applies to reasonable men alone. My rule is this: if you suspect that she's cheating, then she is most definitely cheating. You don't need evidence; your intuition is more than enough.

They all have different styles to go about cheating but there is always one constant amongst all women all over the world: they exhibit the same pattern (symptoms). Eg: phone hiding, hiding their wall on facebook, sheepishly laughing when asked to clarify a suspicion, etc.

A man true to himself should always know when a woman that he is involved with lies to him. You don't have to challenge every lie but you should know when she's lying. And also, he should always know even before she cheats even in you are in different countries.

As for what she 'defence' (what she said about the other guy having a different type of love for her), she's a lying NaughtyWoman. Excuse my language but it is the truth. She's two-timing you. All what she said is bullshit. I bet she was laughing in a funny way while she was saying it. And truly you don't have to ask anyway. You already read the text yourself. What further proof do you want? I say again, your intuition/instinct is all you truly need.

Also get this: no single girl sees any one man exclusively. She has atleast one other man somewhere that you may or may not know about. Of course they all claim otherwise, but it is A LIE. And I can't blame some of them because some guys are twerps.

Dump her before she dumps you.

Peace

Well said,

And when did we guys start having well-developed intuitions?
