Family / Re: Did Your Family Use This Plate & Tray? (Throwback Photo) by CrystalMax: 4:49pm On Jun 11, 2020
Emmyloaded:
This PLATE usually comes in a set, all floral and beautiful. Mostly used to serve fathers or give food to visitors in the family.

The TRAY is the best bet for serving food to a whole family at once. You even get more space to put water, spoons and cups.

They are the joy of Christmas and other festive periods but if this tray hits the ground, the sound can be heard as far as 10miles from where it fell.

Celebrities / Re: Cynthia Morgan Lied Against Her Record Label? (Contract) by CrystalMax: 3:29pm On May 27, 2020
I bet many Nigerians did not read that contract.
It is even worst here on Nairaland, people read the topic and just jump into conclusion.
Before we say anything, let's ask, when did she leave the label? The contract shown to us reveals it's a 4 years contract, signed in 2013 with an optional renewal for 2 years.
If she ever signed the renewal, can we see the content of the renewal?
If not, when did she leave? What was the penalty of her not living up to the terms she signed?

Let's see it all.
Half truth is also half lie.

Family / Re: Time To Divorce My Wife? by CrystalMax: 8:44pm On May 05, 2020
noakchukibadan:
Hello,

Please no ethnic banters. One of us is from Ekiti, and the other is from Benue. I am married for 8 years with 2 kids. It has been one problem to another.

I must be very frank, before marriage, my wife had many very questionable characters, but unfortunately we did the marriage counseling in a church were the pastor happened to be her family member. Many of the issues would have been resolved, but when I raised those issues about her character the pastor promised me that everything will be fine after the marriage.
Although this is not an excuse, but looking back now I would have been more patient and taken my decision myself instead of rushing into the marriage. For this I HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE

There is hardly nothing we do not quarrel about, I have always been the one to initiate settlement. The only way I ensure that there is peace in the house is for me not to complain about anything. Even at that, there is always trouble. If the children do anything wrong, she always says those characters the children are exhibiting are not from her and that she is not surprised that they inherited such characters from me.

She can go for months without talking to me, even if I tried to, I have done all I could do, I have begged, cried prayed. I just feel tired and exhausted from trying to make the marriage work or have peace in the home, the sad part is that she often reminds me every time there is misunderstanding that I should remember that she can stay on her own without talking to any body. Just to add, she is very prayerful.

OTHER INFORMATION.
1. I can say conveniently that there is no money problem at home. Finance is okay.
2. I went to see her father 2 years ago, the man said unfortunately he can not do anything. This is true because she was raised away from her Father, she has no contact with any of her fathers family and her father has a zero say in her life.
3. she has 5 elders ones, non of them is in communication with her because of many unresolved issues. Of her 3 younger ones she only maintains a relationship with the last boy who is just 14 years. .
4. Her mum can not talk to her because she simply dares not. However, behind, her mother use to beg me and she kept saying she understands her daughter's character and that she is doing her best by praying and doing deliverance for her.
5. She is not in contact with her maternal uncles and aunt because she said they supported her elder ones when she had problem with them.

So I am stuck with no one to help call the both of us and resolve the issue.

Every year for 5 straight years, she always forgets my birthday, last year, she forgot also, three days later, she bought me a present and I refused to collect the present and I asked her why does she keep forgetting my birthday, year after year for 5 years. She just said sorry, but I left the present in the room, she never bothered to bring the present to me. Another birthday was gone yesterday 2nd May, and as I write, no happy birthday yet.

I literally cook for myself, and all domestic things I do for myself.

I will end this by saying that in fairness to her, her character was not too different before the marriage and courtship, sincerely only once, that was like one year before the marriage I broke up with her, she came to apologize and promised that she will change. Her mother also came to apologize to me also.

This woman has refused to change or allow peace to hold sway, she is right every time, while everybody around is wrong. Sincerely, I do not know what to do anymore.

I am tired and exhausted. I do not know what to do anymore. I am 42, I was diagnosed of high blood pressure 2 years ago.
Bros, I love your maturity and sincerity, it is highly commendable.
Please yield to the counsel of the sages in here. Prayerfully do whatever will give you legitimate peace of mind. You deserve to be happy too.

On the other hand, my fellow Bachelors and 'Man'chelors ....let's learn from this.
Don't ever settle for less, think of the long term.

daddytime:
If this will solve the headache, why not.

The present Discos are dancing disco with Nigerians and their intelligence.

Briefing reporters after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in the State House thursday, the Minister of Power, Mr. Saleh Mamman, said whereas Nigeria currently generates 13,000 megawatts of electricity, it transmits 7,000 to Discos while the distribution companies can only distribute 3,000 megawatts to end users.

The bolded caught my attention.

So, according to the lousy and talkative Minister, Nigeria generates 13,000 megawatts and are only able to transmit 7000 megawatts almost half the amount generated to Discos, while the Discos, in turn, are only able to distribute 3,000 megawatts, almost half of what was transmitted to them to end-users.

I'm seriously trying to make any sense of what gave the minister the right or moral compass to accuse others of what he is guilty of.

Mumu people, na only how to apportion blames and award bogus contracts to selves dem sabi.
The Minister is saying the truth Oga.....Discos are our problem.

The issues arising

1. Siemens is not going to come in and charge bills below the production price , so bills go up. Siemens is also not coming to invest in Nigeria sans profit.

[s]2. Discos will expect to be compensated for being forced out of the business for Siemens.[/s]

3. Expect higher bills, but improvement in power supply

Modified

Thanks for all the mentions. Have had some interesting discussions downthread,and for once, people are discussing without adverse language!

All the info I have about discos and gencos and power comes from several years of reading sparked by GEJ privatising power and issues I had getting a meter for my then place of residence (ended up still being on estimated till i moved house to a metered place!),and other life experiences

I have to go now, life calls. Thanks.
It will cost FG little or nothing to withdraw these discos license.
They have failed to live up to many of the agreements they signed at the beginning.
FG will just capitalize on any of their shortcomings and withdraw their license.

If you are a journalist willing to make a name for yourself, one of the biggest story you can do now, is a report on the privatization of the power sector. There's so much looting to be uncovered in my own opinion.
Do some investigation/cover story on the privatization of the power sector and you'd be amazed at how much have gone down the drain.

So much is being spent on nothing. God help us.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON THE 2020 PTDF OVERSEAS SCHOLARSHIP

Unlike last year in which there was a separate application between UK and the other Partnership countries, in this year, only one application is accepted

If you want to go to the UK, you must choose UK schools as your first, second and third choices

If you want to go to other partnership countries, you can choose any of the countries. For example, you can decide to choose Malaysia as first choice, France as second choice and China as third choice.

The closing date of the application is now Feb 17th, 2020

From DMAINMAN

Thanks @OP.
Unfortunately, I just observed that you can't apply for this UK's if you have applied for the other one earlier launched. They should have launched both at the same time. cry

Watch English movies (Foreign) with sub titles.
Watch CNN/BBC/DW/Aljazeera news constantly.
Listen to foreign rap music and read the lyrics of the said songs.
Try communicating in English.
Read the dictionary, hunt for new words and be quick to use each new word you learn to make a sentence.
Thank me later

Nice one from 2baba.
For me, the biggest lesson is this; "Know how best to channel your grievances". He would have lost the suit he filed against 2baba, if he had went ahead with it. He labelled him a thief, he spoke without knowledge. That would have ruined him, should 2baba's lawyers followed up the matter well. He'd have lost all then.

Whenever you are aggrieved, meet seasoned professionals for counsel. Emotions does not win a battle, good strategy does.
Lucky him sha!
