Where was their police? America fall my hand today I swear.

They spend almost $700 billion on defence yearly and can't protect their senate building? You can't even try this shit in Nigeria.

For me, much credit should go to the police for the most civil manner they handled those Trump mobsters. The strength of the personnel in the Council police department was overwhelmed because they didn't anticipate that the covert plan of the mobsters was an insurrection.

Nonetheless, they received support from sister agencies, the National Guard et all in very good time. They deserve credit for their efficiency at managing crisis situations.

The events/civil disturbances that forced a stop to certifying the Biden /Harris victory at the Capitol yesterday was totally uncalled for and very shameful. America, by Trump's actions, did lose the moral latitude to mediate in matters of democratic/election disputes in other countries, especially those they term "the third world".

To the woman that died, if she wasn't a legislative aide, a staff at the Capitol, a journalist or law enforcement agent (to put it appropriately, if she was a part of the mob that overran the Capitol), then she deserved her fate.

Heaven knows, if it was Nigeria, dead bodies would have littered everywhere! God bless America

After they have navigated this frightening seeming overthrow of a constitutionally prescribed process of validating their electoral process, I would be interested in knowing how they would deal with Trump, who is the chief proponent of this sedition.

A man that swore to uphold the letters of their constitution is throwing his country to the dogs by his endless rants and very reckless tweets that keeps emboldening those dumb protesters.

I shame for the USA

Following it live on TV, I can't but feel shame for how one man's inordinate ambition and unfounded claims is making a mockery of a democracy which hitherto we have viewed as a model.

Such a shame!

It's important we all stay safe.....But the way covid 19 avoids poor people needs to be investigated

God grant eternal repose to the soul of the departed and grant his loved ones the strength to soldier on.

To your observation, nature just finds a way to achieve a balance so we don't have a category of peeps with irredeemably bad cases.

When I saw a mad man drinking water from a gutter yesterday, I know say God graduate sickness and everybody get the category he for catch based on his levels generally.

He registered the new company in his name doesn't mean he is the one running the business.
Secondly, how long would it take him to learn the trade? He's now retired from active football, he's now free to handle his own businesses.

Ogbeni, you see, if this issue is not in the public space, I would not be airing my views.

He provided a seed capital of $300m for the take-off of the venture while those two others became shareholders by contributing just the idea. .

No disclosure as to the shareholding structure; yet for several years he kept sinking money into a nonproductive venture? Is he that daft? On top of that, he went ahead to open same business, probably employing others and overseeing it?

Just tell me what changed. I wish him luck.

My question is if JJ Okocha felt that the bureau D Change business was not yielding any revenue and was a drain pipe,why did he go and now register same bureau de change business,this time in his name?
Both sides are not telling us the whole truth.

In this coming year, sense wee not kee you!

You see those two guys, they're pulling wool over our eyes.

One more question: if Okocha wasn't involved directly in running the allege drainpipe, where, when and how did he now get the expertise to run the BDC registered in his name?

Yeye dey smell!

gamegear:
But why use an account that you know is on negative balance as your salary account for the company in the first place?.

I smell what is not true (lies)

I'm quite inclined to ask this same question, Mr Op.

Again, I would believe you if you say you hope to dedicating inflows into that account to taking care of your indebtedness to Access Bank. If, I assume that to be true, how then did you plan to run your financial commitment to your family?

I can only imagine what anguish you may passing through ATM, but it is what it is: explain to him the situation with that account so he (the accountant) can source the pay of his colleague(your former junior) from other source(s) since it was his mistake. At least he has a job and made the mistake of crediting your account. So, he simply has to take responsibility until things ease up for you a bit.

palsenator:
Lol, I remembered how I lost a million Naira to forex trading around that same year. It was weird. I placed a trade and before you could say Jack, it all went away. But today, I have recovered simply because I didn't give up. I now trade full time and I earn consistently. Forex is not a business for the weak and dullard. It requires extra skills from within. It requires that ingenuity. Above all, one needs to be patient and not greedy. It's a business to me and not gambling anymore. Those years, trading fx was a gamble.
Best wishes bro .

Really refreshing to know that you still stuck to trading FX and eventually turned a corner.

As humans, no way we don't want to be ambitious. You make gains trading some lot size; then you imagine why not make bigger gains, then u increase your lot size without limits; then a sudden announcement/unforeseen event makes the trade go in the opposite direction you predicted/entered and boom!

You're totally liquidated!

Can't totally foreclose it, but at this stage up building capacity for my young family, I cannot manage such risks.

Good luck to you bro.

When, in 2009 or so, I lost very valuable savings to the volatility of FX trading, seeing all of my investment vanish in less than 4 minutes while monitoring the fatal position, I was sure it would only take a prophecy to trade again. .

I finished 4litres of water in less than 2 minutes because I was feeling 'ba kan ba kan'. The biggest single loss I have made till date.

God forgive his sins and rest his soul. I can only imagine how hopeless he felt before ending it all since, aside losing his stakes, he lost countless others' money to such hugely risky investment.

2 goals down against Leicester City FC at 77mins, Mourinho and his Tottenham appears to be shuffling to their decent positioning. .

Rather than prepare to stave off the onslaught from the visitors, he was preoccupied with offering unsolicited view about how Flick and not Klopp should have been awarded best coach.

See him life now.

GodWrites:
Hold your head high only when you have your own money, a house, a car, coupled with a consistent flow of income.

You can't be struggling for your next meal and hold your head up high like a single woman.

You can't depend on your boyfriend or parents, live under their roof and still hold your damn head up high like a single woman.

You are nothing but a shame. Shame to yourself, your family, and even to your child. Your child might even deny you to her school mates without your knowledge.

Sorry that this is coming harsh, I apologize.

Once again, you're merely the epitome of failure.

What the Child will be for you will only be bitterness, curse, regrets, and nightmare cause he or she reminds you of the thousands of mistakes, the things you shouldn't have done or should have done.

No matter the number of motivational speakers you listen to, telling you the past is over, it's a blatant lie.

As long as you remember, it will keep haunting you to your grave.

Your redemption comes only when you're rescued by an unusual man blinded with love or when you finally hit the top in your career or business.

That's if you have work anyway.

Thanks for listening to my rambles and views about single mothers. If you are a single woman, I only hope you understand my meaningless rambles, or you can can enraged.

The next question should be, how should single mothers live above their past?

An interesting topic that will forever change your mindset and compel you to materialize your desires.

very harsh!

But, sadly, the truth, to a large extent.

When I got notification announcing it's now 5:0, what then is there to say?

Such a shame CP wanted to flex because Fulham did.

Well-done Liverpool!

millionboi2:
when u should be asking if u have been used/sacrificed

Well said bro! About the first thing I read out of all the comments, up to yours, that makes particular sense.

Some guy opened a thread alleging that he married into the wrong family yesterday. In same thread, he detailed how he's never enjoyed a sustainable breakthrough because he got married to a wife, whom revelations showed, has been used for ritual. Such that whenever he has intercourse with her, whatever successes he he'd managed previously goes to waste!

And here, you see small boys asking him to collect his share and bolt. Such a pity!

Until young men flee formication, especially given these perilous times of ritual yahoo plus, we sure would have lotta walking corpses in the bear future.

Epicji:
It ll be difficult for u to get d problem solved. U have a weak pt - ur kids.brov u better cross ur mind.nothing ll happened to those kids.

I was once in ur shoe.for good 4 yrs,my n l were in d same house, no sex.las las both of us went our separate ways but l Neva stop sending upkeep money to my two kids.today they done with their university education. They beginning to understand d bad woman their mother was.

Methinks he isnt sufficiently distressed by his endless rigmaroles yet.

If he has situated where the problems lie, why not totally extricate himself even if it means not having access to his two kids.

Hopefully, when he's had his fill, he would make the very tough decision.

Perfectsouth:
no matter what happens, those kids will never suffer their mother's sin....
Wish she could give me my kids but she is using them as her bargaining chip

I am assuming your story to be true and would first express sympathy for all the troubles you've had to deal with.

This part about not making your kids suffer for their mom's sins or/and their mom using them as a bargaining chip is one thing, which may ultimately prevent you breaking from the apparent cycle of poverty which entanglement with your wife causes.

I have lived long enough to be sensitive to situations and flee any relationship/entanglement to could lead to further complications of this "just" one life I have live for several decades that has really not been "balanced".

To help you understand fully, I am married with an adorable 2.5yr old daughter, but should any misfortune befall me on account of my wife's commission or indiscretions (God forbid!), then she can take my daughter along with her if she so chooses.

If a sequence has been established wherein you lose economic standings after intercourse with your wife, and this was buttressed by a revelation, then what are you waiting for? To keep moving in circles until you are drained of youthful vigour or the desire to be ambitious?

Wetin dey do you?

Kai death! A tribesman in whom I'm well pleased has left too soon.

May God forgive his errors; grant him eternal rest and give his loved ones the courage to cope with the loss.

DimplesLikeWow:
I hate this so much. How do you burn a whole human being to death because of a stupid motorcycle? Idiots.

If you read the preceding part carefully, he too intended to waste a whole human because of a motorcycle, since it was alleged that he shot at the okada whose saving grace was his "native" bulletproof.

For me, if the story is true, fair enough!

Is there a need for all these?

Wetin e see for Mercy hand wen people Neva see before?

So the best way to allocate the use of his plenty free time is to chronicle events in their failed relationship?

Man be trying hard to confirm all the nonsense alleged against him

OK2NVME:
Tell her to cancel the card and request for a new one.

Someone who has access to her bank ATM details ,pin and phone was behind it.

I suspect one of your siblings


Bet9ja uses paystack so just one otp registeration is all that is needed.

As long as that card is linked to the persons bet9ja account he can be topping up without even need of otp verrification.

Block the card and get a new one and this time tell her to change the pin, hide her card and put a password lock on both her phone and sim

To the Op, here you have the best solution to your mom's palaver

Maybe, it's just me, but you have scant value for your life.

Pls how do I handle this problem of hubby that does not have self control when it comes to alcohol?

He drinks too much and sometimes messes the bed up with urine.

I have talked to him still no change pls I need practice solutions that will make him stop because he is the type that doesn't take things serious unless it gets to him and this his behavior is making me regret my marriage to him.

I attend the Living Faith Church and would not come across as your core church guy but there's a thing I am very sure about given your predicament:é ni lati gbadura gidi gan!

Story was told (years ago) by my big cousin of a young lawyer who got thoroughly messed up by his addiction to alcohol (ogogoro) that he he found it really convenient to sleep in gutters after his bouts. This happened for a fairly long while till he got delivered spiritually after the death of his captor. So it happened that he had a big gallon tied to his neck such that he would never get satisfied until he drinks up to that gallon in a day! So you can understand how almost useless he was made because no one would naturally have the capacity to down 4litres of ogogoro daily.

Your husband's case may be similar.

Not saying you shouldn't pay attention to other useful suggestions though.

PoliticallyInco:
Give a lady money? How many ladies have given me money and who says I have to give a lady money.

These ladies have hands,legs and brains. So why should they be a charity case? God forbid I raise daughters this way. Just because nature gave you a few features to enable you bear babies, you have turned it into a commercial venture? If nature wanted you to rely on men so much it would have not provided you with arms, legs and a brain. One was quoted as saying girls are now wise, they are following the money. That is wisdom? Well okay. If stupid things make you happy who am I to talk. As long as you aren't getting the money from me and as long as you don't come complaining when your economic master that you are a slave to treats you like shit because he pays the bill, then I have no problems with your decision. Enjoy.

Or are we saying the society affects girls so much that they become mentally retarded at making ends meet? Are we saying the society has stunted their mental and psychological development to such a grave extent of mental retardation that they can't possibly work to make their own money and use it as they will. Was a curse placed on them never to make their own money and spend it how they like? Do they enjoy being economic slaves? Recently a lady said most young girls/students will die of hunger if married men remained faithful to their wives. While I am no saint, it is not that these girls will die of hunger. THEY WILL DIE FROM GREED! GREED FROM WANTING THINGS THEY CANT AFFORD AND HENCE NOT LIVING WITHIN THEIR MEANS.

Listen, If the lady isn't a minor or an aged relative then she is not getting a dime from me just like that. In other to get a dime she has to earn every penny of it by working twice or thrice as hard to earn it. It would not matter how many positions of the Kama Sutra you know, how good the head you give is, how wet you get when I slam into you from behind sending your juices splashing everywhere, or how good your food tastes, or how domesticated you are, or how saintly your character is. And oh I also don't kid myself that I am the best man out there. Just as you aren't the best woman either. So please make your own money and "eat" it alone. Let me make mine and enjoy it in peace with legit dependants. See ladies, there are a few ways to earn money from me and I promise you,you must work thrice as hard to earn it and secondly it isn't through any form of sexuality or the stereotypical gender roles of a lady.


I live for myself first, then my young and aged dependants next, then the less privileged, before I then consider a woman.

Armed with the benefit of hindsight, I quite admire your disposition to womenfolk.

We could say the only redemption for me was getting married and staying absolutely responsible to family first before parents! But hey, I mumu wella dat year and very much knows I'm yet to be purged of that trait of stupidity.

Hopefully, we would stay on course reading notes of conquerors like you. Thumbs up bruv!

OrluFemmeKing:
From my understanding of the post, i think the original owner of the properties (the late father) had a late elder son whom he most likely had wanted to be the one to inherit the properties but since he is late and maybe the children are still too young, he now handed the said properties to his daughter to manage for those his grandchildren till they are of suitable age to handle them.

Not too sure. Maybe, he entrusted his daughter, being more responsible than boda Francis (the loafer that breaks people's head), to administer the property while also prioritizing the education and wellbeing of those children.

Would be very difficult for grandchildren to be prime beneficiaries in a case like this when there are surviving children.

Tell me if you still admire him after seeing the link above

I'd have to take back my comment about admiring Gbagi. Tbh, I didn't mean admiring the brute that he is.

I only like his fearlessness and outspokenness in condemning Ibori for all the while he was governor. I can never sides with someone who cheats staff or brutalizes people because they are hapless and beneath them.

I have always know he has the capacity for inconceivable evil, though I have not kept tabs on him since leaving Delta in 2011. Man has been wicked since the late 1990's when I knew him.

Words in the hood then was that he forced an artisan(painter I think) to work without pay after the guy refused to work after being accused of stealing materials.

Man fenced a street road to remodel into a close(now Gbagi close, off Aya Street, Off Jakpa road, Effurun) for reasons nobody knows. So you can see he's been a wicked man for a long time now.

maasoap:
According to the report and people here, this man has been eating at state and federal levels for quite sometime, political appointments. So, it is easy to deduce where his money for business came from and definitely not from being ruthless whatsoever

If you check my posts on this subject matter, you would realize that at some point I know Gbagi fairly closely.

Aside being from the same local government and knowing someone who hails from his native Oginibo. I stayed close to him mid to late 1990's. It would be safe to say you would never get a good testimonial of him from anyone that knows him closely. That man is mean! There's no evil anyone has alleged against him that he's incapable of doing.

However, I am aware he, most likely, had been a multi-millionaire long before he contested against Ibori in the PDP primaries leading to 1999. Definitely not from politics. He's been a serial contestant for the governorship of Delta State under PDP and may have only got compensated with the Junior Minister position during Jonathan's time. Never had a long career as an appointee of government certainly. Need I add, that with the way he talks against corruption and fearlessly criticized Ibori, I doubt he stole when he was a minister, so his money didn't come from abuse of position as a politically exposed person.

On a lighter note, if people hero-worship Wike for his fearlessness, then I would tell you for free that the ant wey dey sight for Gbagi brain harsh pass Wike own.

In summary, I don't like him totally, just some tiny things about him
