My advice is simple.

If you are convinced that you want to marry the girl. Do so without DELAY, else discharge her.

That is why the holy book says "Flee....".

In as much as you guys continue to stay in seclusion, the possibility of going beyond the limits will exercebate.

Wish you luck.

OP.
This is a warning signal for you to know the kind of marriage you are about to enter.
A lot of people ignore red flags like this all in the name of "love".

A husband should be a coach, mentor and adviser but based on what you described, this guy is none of these.
If I were to advise you on this, I will say think twice before you proceed. It is obvious that you may live a miserable life if you marry this dude.

He is fake, inexperienced, immature and will not make a good husband with his current mindset and thought process.

Your future is very important to you and you need to guard it jealously.

On another thought, I think this guy may be decieving you. He may want you use that to lure you into his bed and chase you away. Please be careful.....

In fact, a jobless and visionary guy is by far better than this guy.

Please think and look before you leap.

Unchecked intolerance can lead to insanity.

May Allah turn your hearts to realise your foolishness so that you can seek sincere repentance.

The exemption list has not captured petrol tankers. I hope this will not result into another strike and fuel scarcity in Lagos State.

Crap. If a wife can work and use that money to provide for her family, what stops the husband from doing the cooking whenever he is available?

It is important that we are factual and not make a general rule from an exception. I don't pray that my responsibility to cater for the family is performed by my wife. The Bible and Quran call the husband the head of the family and this is also supported by the African culture.

Have you wondered why women carry babies in their wombs and not men? Why women give breast milk to their babies and not men?

Western culture are alien to our society as they question everything including God and this potentially lead to destruction. The western advocates of equality in marriage are the ones propagating same-sex marriage, sexual organ transplant, open marriage, gender swap and other practices that are "devilish".

The point is that man and woman have different roles and responsibilities.

safarigirl:
Oh? So the Scots who wear skirts are committing sin? And Jesus wearing gowns was also a sin? What exactly is 'men's garment' and what is 'women's garment'? And Christians follow the New Testament, stop reading the Jewish laws before you confuse yourself

I get confused when I hear that Christians do not follow the old testament. Where is the law of 10% tithe written? Old or new testament?

The sky is wide enough for birds to fly without collision. It is not a one-person zero-some game. Why do you keep referring to the manager, when you don't have an idea of his own job description? Moreover, it may be his idea for the company to employ a farm assistance and that is why you have been employed.

If you fail to face your job, you will soon lose it. Arrogance and self-elevation leads to destruction.

You need to be careful.

It is not a wise idea to have N30m and buy N27.5m nomination form from the money. It is called financial management in accounting. It make sense to borrow and spread the repayment over a period.

You cannot own 84 guns and not know the sponsors of Boko Haram.

Only God can forgive.

Jesus alone can forgive all sins.. confess ur sins directly to him. no priest can absolve ur sins. only Jesus can..

oya catholics in the house, sentence me to death.

The first option is to seek medical attention. However, if this does not work and the couple practice Islam, the man has an option of marrying a second wife.

That will be better than the divorce option.

OP,
I feel your pain and my suggestion is for you to FLEE. For a woman who is planning introduction in a few weeks to be seeing another man is a very bad signal. I think God is really on your side and has rewarded your faithfulness (if what you told us is true).

Never think you cannot find another good girl. God has a way of preserving good people for good people.
I had a slightly different experience in the past, I reconciled on sympathy grounds and I regretted it much later. Thank God, that is history now.

God has helped you out of thorns and you need to thank God and move on with your life.

On informing the girl's mum, I would say that you should not do this face-to-face if at all you want to inform her because she will plead heaven on earth and you may not be able to resist it. Better still, inform her brother and I am sure he will tell their mum and that should be sufficient.

The golden rule for you is to MOVE ON so that you don't enter "One Chance".

My advice is that you should contact your religious association for help. I believe yhey will sort you out. All the best.

1 * 2^1 = 1
2 * 2^2 = 8
3 * 2^3 = 24
4 * 2^4 = 64

The answer is 64.

Xenophobia is synonymous to boko haram. It is only in South Africa that an ignorant illiterate will claim that migrant doctors are taking over his job. Even you no qualify to be native doctor. #unbelievablestupidity.

Why don't we have real-time results from SS and SE? Something is smelling.....

I am surprised that Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has not refuted the allegation of collecting money from Jonathan. I expect him to cast the wrath of God on any pastor who collected money from PDP. This is what Pastor Adeboye did, I urge Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor to be bold enough to do same if he did not collect any bribe.

The issue of Boko Haram is now a campaign tool as if this is the only issue we have in Nigeria.
You called Yoruba elders, you are not discussing industrialisation/diversification of our fragile economy, state of our infrastructure, power generation, depreciation of naira, healthcare, employment, housing deficit, etc.

You made it sound as if once Boko Haram problem is solved, Nigeria will be a great nation. All na politics, keep playing the game. Come March 28, we will decide who will lead us.

THE Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to put in place a mechanism to ensure that the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from the Northeast cast their votes in the forth coming general elections.

The association warned that it would not accept the results of the elections if millions of IDPs from the Northeast who are mostly Christians were not allowed to cast their votes.

Director of National Issues and Social Welfare of CAN, Sunday Oibe stated this yesterday when a delegation from CAN led by the Chairman of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter, Revd. Israel Akanji visited the IDPs camp at New Kunchingoro, Abuja.

Oibe observed that the results of the forthcoming elections would not be credible or acceptable if over 20 million Christians displaced from the Northeast did not cast their votes.

He said: “If over 20 million Christians displaced from the Northeast do not cast their votes, how can you say that the elections are credible and acceptable?

“Prof. Jega should do everything to ensure that Christians that have been displaced from the Northeast cast their votes. We have churches that had their headquarters, like the EYN in Maiduguri. They have been displaced with over three million people scattered all over the country.”

Oibe alleged that in order to address some of these issues, CAN scheduled to meet with Prof. Jega last week but was disappointed when, according to him, the INEC chairman allegedly reneged.

“We wanted to meet with Prof. Jega, on the topic last week. He gave us an appointment but reneged, so we are calling on Jega to ensure that IDPs, particularly Christians displaced from the Northeast, cast their votes, or we will not accept it.”

The CAN President Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, represented by the FCT CAN, Chairman, Israel Akanji said that the visit was to provide relief materials and other donations to the IDPs, in consonance with Christians calling to be our brother’s keeper.

He noted that the FCT administration was working hard on having a better place for the IDPs, adding that a vast land had been acquired for building of a better camp for IDPs in the FCT and that the structure might be completed next month.

Earlier, a representative of the displaced persons Philiomon Emanuel said that there were over 700 of them in the camp from Goza Local Council Area of Borno State, noting that they had been neglected by government.

He added: “Since we became displaced, government has only come to see us once, through NEMA, in October 2014; they promised to get us special camps with more comfortable houses and healthy centres, as well as schools, but we haven’t heard from them since then.

Can you rent and share a miniflat with working male partner

That will be okay as i have a lean budget, but the preferred option is to have a room to myself.

Hi Nairalanders,
I need someone who can share his flat with me around Yaba/Ebute Meta axis. All I need is a separate room and I am ready to comply with the rules and regulations of the house. I also need a car parking space. You can drop your number/email on this platform or send me an email on goldensonyone@hotmail.com.

PRESS RELEASE

THE ARMS DEAL SCANDAL

Preamble

When the media waves throbbed with the breaking news of a Nigerian
Private jet seized in South Africa last week for smuggling the sum of
$9.3 million cash, into that country, we were not surprised especially
when the ownership of the private jet with US registration number
N808HD was eventually disclosed.
The jet which landed at Lanseria International Airport, Johannesburg,
on September 5, 2014 from Abuja with the huge amount stashed in three
suitcases had to be temporarily impounded while its monetary contents
were offloaded and seized by the country’s Customs officers for the
reason of illegality.
Suspicion
The Muslim Ummah of Southwest Nigeria (MUSWEN) had long suspected that
a controversial aircraft owned by a controversial cleric through a
controversial means could only be meant for a controversial mission
such as the one now generating a global controversy.
According to the details of the news about the arms deal, two
Nigerians and an Israeli who were caught for using the jet in question
to smuggle the huge amount of money were interrogated by South African
security officials and they confessed that the money was meant for the
purchase of weapons for Nigerian security agencies.
Sensing corruption (with which most Nigerian officials are globally
known) especially when the huge money was concealed in three plastic
boxes and not formally declared, the South African authorities decided
to seize it saying its volume as well as its smuggled manner
contravened the law of their country.

Reaction
And in a seemingly jittery reaction, aimed at wading off the
embarrassment from the illegal deal, the federal government of Nigeria
admitted the ownership of the money without giving reason for
bypassing the Nigerian security officials in awarding such a contract.
And subsequently, the President of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), reluctantly admitted the ownership of the controversial
jet after about two weeks of pressure and insinuations from the press.
Offering an official but untenable explanation on the dubious deal,
the Aviation Minister, Mr. Osita Chidoka, told Nigerians that the CAN
president had leased the jet to another party, thereby trying to
underplay the role of CAN President in the use to which his jet was
illegally put.
That attempt to exonerate the owner of the jet in such a shady
business which could not have been transacted without his knowledge
and consent obviously betrayed the Minister’s knowledge of the office
he occupies. At least we are aware of the existence of a Nigerian
aviation law that bans the leasing out of a private jet for a
commercial purpose. Was the Minister feigning ignorance of this law?
The episode which came up in form of a shocking dramatic conundrum has
since generated a fierce controversy as usual, either on the basis of
shameless ethnic affiliation or that of religious opium. Incidentally,
the main casualty in this case is the image of Nigeria which the
federal government has always claimed to be concerned about.
Questions
Now, many pertinent questions are begging for answers. Some of them
are as follows:
1. Who authorized the purchase of weapons for Nigerian security
agencies through unofficial people with non-involvement of those who
will utilize the weapons?
2. When did the Nigerian law banning the use of private jets for
commercial purposes change?
3. What is the relationship between clerical mission and government
contract particularly in such a sensitive sector?
4. If it is true that the federal government actually awarded the
contract to whoever was involved, what was the reason for wanting to
make payment of such purchase in cash?
5. And how can one reasonably distinguish between that illegal deal
and what is generally called ‘gun running’ in military parlance?
6. Isn’t there a linkage between that deal and the clandestine
sponsorship of Boko Haram insurgency by certain religious leaders with
hidden agenda? MUSWEN had severally called the attention of the nation
about the role of some Christians in that devilish insurgency as in
the case of Bauchi and Osun State. But the government has curiously
pretended not to hear of it.

Comment
Meanwhile, the explanations made so far by some government officials
as well as ‘rental criers’ on the shameful and debasing deal in South
Africa have rather raised further questions without answers.
More embarrassing in this case is South Africa’s rejection of
Nigeria’s official explanation on the seeming shady deal which
culminated in the confiscation of Nigerian money by South African
government.
In a nutshell, this episode, combined with the recent revelations by
Dr. Stephen Davis of Australia, has not only exposed the hidden agenda
behind Boko Haram insurgency, it has also confirmed the grand
desperation of some mercantile clerics to wreck Nigeria by all means
in the name of religion.
MUSWEN therefore warns on the implications of sweeping this dangerous
scandal under the carpet and calls on the federal government to
exhibit transparency in this case by allowing an independent body to
probe the scandal and to come up with a punitive measure against any
culprit if only to prove that an official patronage is not being
surreptitiously granted to some criminal elements in the country who
are walking the streets in the cloak of religion.
As bona fide citizens and stake holders in Nigeria, we are neither
blind nor deaf to unfolding dangerous trend aggravating insecurity in
Nigeria as we have regularly pointed out and we believe that posterity
will bear witness to our undeniable concern. God save Nigeria!

AGONY OF MONOGAMY

This write up Was written by a Christian, Chief Tola Adeniyi, a former MD of daily times. Please do not condemn me for sending it. I am only forwarding the article having considered the reasonableness of the content. You may choose to delete after reading. Cheers...

AGONY OF MONOGAMY. It was at the Church service for the 90th birthday of the legendary Matriarch of the Awo dynasty Chief Dr Hannah Dideolu Awolowo in Ikenne that the thoughts that prompted this article began.

Some well known highly placed gentlemen and their wives
were called upon to partake in the wine sipping, bread breaking ritual called Holy Communion. As soon as these respectable ladies and gentlemen, all of them past age 70,
and amongst whom were renowned professors, high court judges, legal luminaries and business moguls, finished their spiritual
blessing and were returning to their seats, they caught a pitiable sight in their over-flowing garb of hypocrisy.

They wore forlorn mien plastered with furrowed frowned faces like some one afflicted with putrid smell of heavy dose of fart. They looked as if they were mourning a three-year-old boy mistakenly killed by his own father, or the passing of a poor woman who has just succumbed to excruciatingly painful cancer.

They clung to their wives as if they were newly wedded. I temporarily forgot that I was in a holy Church, the spiritual enclave of Christians.
I almost laughed my head off because I knew each of the ‘holy’ ‘monogamous’ men intimately and by Jove, I knew of their second, third or fourth wives/liaisons/mistresses with whom they had sired several children.

To the whole world they were champions of monogamy, but to their hearts and conscience they were celebrated polygamists, or at best, serial monogamists. Pshaw!
I saw pain written all over them, the agony of living a lie, the unease of hypocrisy, and the shame of going through life pretending to be what you are not.

This is the sort of agony a lot of the so-called monogamists go through all their lives. The series of lies they sell to their wives, and the double life they present to their pastors and church leaders, most of whom are actually equally guilty of hypocrisy and double life
living.

This piece is not set out to condemn or criticise monogamy. Monogamy is perfect for
those who believe in its concept and can genuinely keep to it. I too have been married to one lovely woman for almost 45 years and it
has been like a marriage made in heaven. I happen also to be the promoter along with some friends the 35-year-old Family Club of
Nigeria which is dedicated to the upliftment and celebration of marriage and family values.

The article is designed to expose the hypocrisy and pain associated with embracing false notions which are really not observed by any
culture in the world, and to advise those who erroneously sentence themselves to a life of sadness and emptiness because they were deceived to believe that there is some utopia somewhere called monogamy.

I am very much aware that this article will generate a lot of controversy most especially from those who live holier-than-thou life and have continued to deceive the world that they are upholders of a doctrine that is not supported by true and enlightened interpretation of any religious doctrine. The white men, I am yet to see any human being whose skin colour is like that of chalk, came and told th. e unfortunate lands they invaded that the cherished cultures, traditions and religions of such lands were rubbish, and
instead indoctrinated them with values which they themselves never believed in or truly practiced. We know of King Henry Vlll, and several major historical figures in ‘Christian’Europe who had more than one wife in addition
of a string of wives who their ‘laws’ forbade them to address as wives but who nonetheless perform all the functions of wife minus name.

God bless President Mitterrand who openly confessed to having two women in his life, with the one in the other house with whom he
fathered an 18-year-old daughter at the time he passed on.

I have schooled, worked and lived virtually in all the continents of the world and I make bold to say with all emphasis at my disposal that no culture on planet earth truly practices monogamy.

My Greek, Italian, Russian, British, American and other Caucasians routinely visit their other wives [called by other names] with whom they have children. But back in the homes shared with the one carrying the ring, they are monogamists!

If God had wanted humanity to be
monogamous He or She would not have made the pigeon the only monogamous creature. The cultures that practice polygamy had always known that at any given time, the number of available marriageable women far out number available men plus the fact that an 80-year-old man, if he has money, is still very much in the market whereas a 60-year-old
woman may not be that lucky. The biological limitation to a woman’s productive age is also a factor. Why should a woman therefore remain on the shelf till age 45 when she could jolly well get married as second or sixth wife to a man who can afford to share life’s responsibilities with her? Why should a woman leave a man with whom she is No 1, simply
because took a second wife and end up being numberless in the hands of several men with whom she naturally shares bed just because of some doctrine she hardly understands?

All the women who should go and marry but are saying they do not want to share their man with another woman in a polygamous setting, are sharing current boyfriends with several other women. Where is the logic?

The argument that children in a polygamous house are always at each other’s throat does not hold water. Many siblings of monogamous families are known to have had worse and irresolvable, irreconcilable squabble, with dirty
bitterness over inheritance than children from different mothers.

The agony suffered by both men and women in the hand of unnatural laws and doctrines is too stifling for comfort. In 2002, five hundred and two Reverend mothers were reported to have
died while procuring abortion in Rome. NigerianTribune wrote an editorial on the unfortunate
incident. And stories of Reverend fathers having children and sodomising young men in
their care are legion! Why the hypocrisy? Why should the world continue to live the life of
Ostrich?

A well known Nigerian journalist hid his other wives from his wife because his religion would not permit of it and his wife, living in
monogamy should not hear of it. At his funeral 9 Funeral Service programmes by his 9 wives surfaced and the woman parading the ring collapsed. It was the grace of God that prevented double interment that day!

The Western world which had not learnt the art of living amicably with more than one partner
under the same roof has indulged in multiple serial marriages, divorcing innocent wives under flimsy excuses so that another woman can move in should not be measure of standard for the world. Thank God Mrs Hillary
Clinton in the US and Mrs Cook in England were very much wiser. They refused to allow some indiscretion on the part of their husbands to ruin their marriages.
There was a well known American actor who passed on about a decade ago and all his 11 ex-wives with their numerous children attended his funeral. To ridicule the lie of their hypocritical existence, all the women were
recognised and addressed as wives. As far as records show, the man had 11 wives!

Society must rethink this issue of pretentious monogamy vis-à-vis polygamy so that in the not-too-distant future we do not end up with millions of unmarried women whose life style would be worse than prostitutes’ and millions of children whose fathers would be nowhere to be found.

Sparkle777: This is a national tragedy,cos of the inflow of foreigners to scoan. The aircrafts should be investigated with the engineers of the building. Its so terrible cos of human lives lost. Am so lost for words. But I pray God to see us all thru. For those castigating the prophet,remember similar thing happened during the time of our Lord Jesus, a temple collapsed and killed lots of people. No one is God,and cannot know it all. Our duty is to pray for all involved. Prophet TBJ,may God give u more grace to overcome all these in Jesus name. Amen.

please don't bring Jesus into this argument. Are you saying that Jesus is the GO of the collapsed temple. Jesus does not cut corners and he even advised people to give Caesar what belong to him. TB Joshua cannot stand beside Jesus in any argument. Let us be careful about what we type.
