If only you can see you will know that your current level is not where you ought to be,
Am sorry to say if you keep on like this you ll keep laughing whilst your boss keeps on soaring
This is one reason why he still is your boss and you the surbordinate

So, because he didn't so a seed of faith, he's now a subordinate, what abt all the years of hardwork and continued risk involved to become boss?

So, you think a pool of money makes you a boss?, ok, go and ask people that suddenly had pensions or a pool of money,

Really, it's nothing, there's nothing new under the sun. So, I did a google search for you:

Counting ability of Child at 3.5 years old?
My child is 3.5 years old. I noted that he still cannot count the objects correctly shown in the diagram. He can rattle 1 to 10 correctly but he seems to have a problem counting. Is there room for concern?

This is normal for his age. Rote counting develops before meaningful counting of objects. I would suggest giving him real objects to count before expecting him to count objects on a diagram. Try something he is interested in. Have him count small plastic dinosaurs, or trucks, or blocks, or slices of apple, or friends, or socks. Start with just 3 objects and gradually increase the number of objects you are working with until he can count 10 correctly. You might find it helps to ask him to touch the objects one by one with his finger as he counts. If he has a hard time doing it himself, gently hold his hand as he points to the items one by one.

Where is justwise? I hope the above reply explains what I meant? This guy started his response like one sincere or honest guy but ended it by asking me to behave like[b] Romans when in Rome![/b] Typical naija and mentality for you! He claimed people will try to cheat you when there's no system to checkmate it, I wonder why he even opened his mouth knowing fully well that such system does not exist. At least he admitted that naija has issues both with business, dealing with ppl, cheating and trust that seriously need improvement. All I can say is Good luck and congrat to those that present naija is working for![/quote]ok, behave like a saudi arabian while in rome!, even in yankee, the rules that apply in one state, doesn't apply in other parts, you talk like a kid, maybe you are,

e no easy at all! , they never think things will improve,

[quote author=prince_onx link=topic=861109.msg10322552#msg10322552 date=1330793905]^^
You can defend naija all you want but the truth still remains the truth! 7 out of evey 10 people you deal with daily tend to step over you. There are also crime in other part of the world but I can stay a whole year here without having a single soul/person trying to cheat me, sell me the wrong stuff, or collect money from me. Compare that to naija's daily life. Pay a bus fare from point 1 to point 10, after point 7 or 8 the driver will tell you that he can't go further with or without reason! By the time you know it, he'll off his bus and disappear with his assistant. Get a price quote for something from someone that claimed they've been doing that same job for 20yrs, 50% down the line he'll come back for more money claiming he under quoted you! I have been refunded money a lot of times here because I was over quoted for a repair when last did that happen to anyone in naija? 90% of the topic/thread opened here daily about naija is one problem or the other and you call all that few rotten eggs? Well, there's no need debating about naija! 90% of people that still remember that name does because it's home to them while others can not remember or mention Nigeria without associating it with crime or corruption![/quote]Guy,  relax, abeg,  relax, all that one na grammar,  people will try to cheat you if there's no system to checkmate it. And that's why Nigeria has got such issues,  but still relax. A lot of businesses will continue to improve over time, more people will continue to learn the hard way not to cheat, and that's the truth, Nigeria is a great country, with great people. We've got a lot of upright people, you simply need to learn to act as a roman when you are in rome!

Nigeria is such a shame.

Many of the men talking are not married. I am married and I know that a lot goes into these partnerships from both sides and money is just part of it but lots of other things make up a marriage.

If many successful married men were to be true to themselves, many got there with support from the wife and I dont mean financialy. You have a spring in your step when you know that there is someone there for you; Your number one fan. Someone who tells you that the sky is the limit, someone who crys with you and laughs with you. Someone who beleives in you. Someone who interceeds for you. Someone who wants the best for you and so on.

Many of you look at it as a business partnership and marriage isnt like that.

As regards the house, unless he has full custody of the kids which I doubt, then the kids should be able to live in the affluence that they are used to. Its not the kids fault that mummy and daddy cant live with each  other.

Like I said, If he is indeed a billionaire then 40 million will not kill him; he could have easily lost that amount on the stock exchange or in a bad business deal. He also has the consolation that some of that money is going to go towards making his kids comfortable.

I think your mind is made up. But I comment simply to continue to enlighten myself and perspective to issues.

For a fact, I am not married, but I am closer to marriage than most married people, The only set of people who have absolute right about my wealth are my parents, because all of what I am today, my business acumen, my education is directly linked to them, and I will gladly give everything I have back to them, but they never even ask. In my own case, I give business free consultation advise , not the other way round, and have been doing that for so many years. I am her number one fan, whether I like it or not,, this is a fact, introduced her to her first writing work, give her shocks for so many years to continue writing even without a single kobo coming back, closed my account to pay half of her school fees, continue to help create a balance in most part of her finances. The more I look at it, the more I see that I have given more advise, more support than she's, maybe because I never discuss my business with her, women never advise logically, they only know how to protect, which is important too, but not really how to build. not to take anything away, she's her strong points. But on the points you've established, the above is what I think.

Like I said, If he is indeed a billionaire then 40 million will not kill him; he could have easily lost that amount on the stock exchange or in a bad business deal. He also has the consolation that some of that money is going to go towards making his kids comfortable.

This isn't a bad business deal, it's not a loss, it's a greedy woman who wants more than she deserves. She probably went to a better school, has two hands , two legs, let her go and get her own things done.

pendo89:
Prenup is the way to go for these wealthy people. Wonder why he did not even consider a post nup when he started accumulating wealth.

At the close of day,one person goes home smiling. The Lawyer.

Prenup, postnup to me is an option, but really, this is family, I personally don't think it's right to be so callous to start drafting agreements within family, every other day I expect myself and my immediate family members to make compromises for the development of the family. so, even in the event of a dis agreement, being greedy shouldn't be an option, it's just, ' sweetheart ', am sure you know what is right to do, am sure you'll make me at least comfortable, that's all it takes, thats really all it takes!, but when greed sets in, then you want to take half of my business, half of my wealth, excuse me, did you work half the time, the people that did are partners in my company, you are not!, already you are taking away all the children, why don't you take half the kids and leave me with half, I will choose my kids over money any day anytime,

divine2043:
Damola,

I think your replies says it all. It is just like people do not like the bitter truth. It points at the same thing - many Nigerian ladies choose to be on the back foot and are lazy and money grabbing. The same attitude portrayed during relationships is propagated in marriage.

So I keep asking a question- why did the lady marry her husband?

I have not read any sensible post from any lady on here. It shows they only want to get married to a rich man and for his money. IT shows also that they may be prepared to kill the man for his money as well.

Shocking but true.

My brother, this is the world we live in. In Nigeria I have noticed personally that most men die before the women, really look around, . I don't think they kill them directly, but indirectly, all the responsibility are on the man, everything, women enjoy like anything, before you see a man who parties, travels around the world etc, it's either he's irresponsible, or he's achieved so much to cover for enjoyment of his family, I am telling you, young boys need to shine their eyes very well. I didn't come to live your life, I came to live mine, I love my kids, but they've got their own lives to live too, so, lets live and let other live,

chaircover:
I haven't read all the replies to this thread, but this is my take on this.

2.1 million sounds like a lot but in reality it isn't. It will just about buy her & the kids a house similar to the one that they probably live in now.

The 35K a year will NOT be enough to pay for the bills and maintenance of that house alone, talk less of other things.

By all means if indeed the money used ot set up the company didnt come from them both but from the husbands family, then that should be taken into consideration, however on the flip side, how many married men with access to $13,000 are able to do anything tangible with it. Wifey could at the time could have encouraged her hubby to buy a car or go on holiday and blow the whole lot. She gave him her support when he used the money to start the business and over the years would have supported him in various ways.

Ive said this before and the fact that a woman doesnt put money down doesnt mean that she is useless. An encouraging word here, a prayer there, a shoulder to lean on cannot be expressed in monetary values and this should not be overlooked. Sometimes when you know that someone has your back, you become more confident and you tend to take more risks and these risks may pay off.

I personally think that if the man can truly afford it, then he should give her what she wants and let her go on her way. The Lawyers are probably getting more than the figure we are talking about here anyway which is a shame and the children are watching the acrimony and it cant be doing them any good. The Law suit is also going to affect both husband and wife mentally an healthwise whether they loose or win. Going to court is stressful in its self.

The other side of love is sure worse than hate if there is such a thing and I hope they can sort this out without too many casualties.

Why would she want to buy a similar house to what her husband owns?, can she afford it?

Dis agreements btw parents doesn't mean disconnect between kids and their parents. If I divorced my wife, I will definitely look forward to taking care of my kids, that's the way it works, $35k is extra income for her, she can get to work and make more for herself. She can use the same advise, support, prayer to support herself to achieve the same.

Talking about support, do you think men in that case only accept stuff?, more men give advise than women do, I know this for a fact. Especially business advise. , so, if they do the same back, it's simply a balance check, women these days don't even pray like my parents before, seldom do you see a seriously praying woman.

I absolutely disagree with you, if the woman have decided to sort it in court, so be it. If she came to possibly work out all of this privately, am sure she will not only get so much, but a lot more, especially through her kids every other day!, but if she thinks she get strong head, then she'll be shocked the kind of man she got involved with!

queensmith:
again- its relative- 20million and 2 million are very different, the generosity of his offer can be debated.

Although he's been given permission I doubt very much he will win, it takes a single act of fraud (which im sure he's committed) to throw him in prison and give the wife all she wants.

if he was willing he will pay the wife what she asked for- THE estate is a separate issue, something I'm sure they can't benefit from until they are of legal age. How is the wife meant to take care of them til then?
If she hasnt been working for the past how many years how on earth is she meant to work now?? HOW!!!!!

No where in the statement did it say the woman wasn't allowed to work, never worked, or compelled not to,

In fact, a simple google of her name shows she's working for a property dev. company:

your just trying to wind me up right? ok what are the children going to eat? where are they going to live? how they gonna get to school?

I remember an article from one of p diddys baby mamas; she stated that people hate on them because they believe all the women do is sit down and plan on how to spend the money! How can they!!! her son is the child of a rich man, he needs security, he needs insurance, he needs top education, he needs to enjoy the life his father can provide and he STILL needs the care of his mother!!!!

and you say no just so the rich can ditch the wife, the kids and keep the toys? I dont think so- once you enter marriage you know its a lifetime commitment and you stick by it. You dont like it you dont marry simple as!

And this man is very much willing to provide security, insurance, education, and everything along with it. Absolutely willing. No man will ever live his babies out in the cold, unless he's really a bastard. cos the kids will eventually take up the estate anyways,

Let her have enough to keep moving on, the kids can get whatever they want from their pops, anytime, he's very proud of them, but she needs to shake her ass and get to work, free lunch don't exist no more!, £2M is more than enough to even take care of her for the rest of her life

queensmith:
@ damola- dont even lie!!!

even the poor lower middle class men on their meagre wages expect the wives to pack in the degrees and MBAs to cook and clean at home. kmt. Another site another culture I may agree with you but certainly not on this one.

You cant have it all, and i dont even pity the rich ones. Its the poor idiots that insisted their wives should not work only to end up shelling massive proportions of their salary in alimony and child support when divorce comes.

You definitely cannot have it all.

When you are a big boy, you are a big boy, no woman cooks or clean, this is a fact. Recently, she traveled, and I was shocked the food the nanny gave me tasted exactly like what she's ' supposedly ' been delivering. I am not married oh!, How many house wives do you know personally without any businesses or investments or enjoyments, strictly for kids?,

I am telling you for a fact, no woman cooks or clean, the house helps do every damn thing!, they only smile and screw, and they can't give you any business advise anyways, unless you want it in ruins, so wetin we dey yarn here

queensmith:
regardless of the nannies if she's a non working housewife she will be with the kids? don't you think? she will be their full time carer, it doesnt matter how much help they can afford, she will still be defined as the homemaker. The children will still be attached to her in that sense and daddy is more or less useless (if he hasnt stayed at home) so all he's really needed for is the money- which he is forced to part with during the divorce!

and  no court will want the children in care of nannies in place of their mother (or whoever has been caring for them from the start).

Seriously for a forum which drives responses like 'submit to your husband' 'do whatever your husband says' 'stay at home dont work its more fulfilling' the men sure do know how to complain when ish hits the fan!

Must you be paid to take care of your own kids?, the love from a child to a mother is un-quantifiable. This woman is getting paid!, for upkeep of kids, NOT HALF of the entire company!, we can't close business just because madam says no more.

ItsModella:
I don't think any spouse, male or female, should get a significant portion of their partners wealth in the event of a divorce, unless they can prove they played a major part in accruing that wealth. Someone who marries a wealthy person generally gets to live an opulent life. But in the event of a separation, it is unreasonable that the wealthy person would upkeep the glamorous and comfortable lifestyle of the other person throughout their lifetime and give them a ridiculously huge sum portion of the wealth that must have taken a long time to build.
That being said, the judge should not allow the use of tribal law. He was married and lives in the UK and as such should go through the British court system.

Seldom do you see a wife and a husband in business without any active role. Case study: Russell and Kimora Simmons. Even after Phat farm was sold, she's made CEO. Cos, she got the brains. Am telling you, men give advise to women free of charge, women seldom give except political advise, and it's give and take. So really, they only deserve payment for the kids upkeep, anything more, not cool, na cheating!

Sagamite:
Don't mind the person! What is more important to a child, affluence or having a father?

Yet the same system is created to guarantee the children the former but is utterly toothless if the ex-wife denies the kids the latter.

In the best interest my arse! Senseless laws created by cretins!

Brilliantly put!

Right now, am simply just tripping for the brilliance exhibited by the man, else, did you know they just sacked half of the company staff just because madam wants half of money, just because she can screw and bare kids, thousands of lives are messed up ,

queensmith:
@damola
erm so what is used to raise and care for children? dust and sand?  what is love and care without - money shelter clothing and education? and what does being Nigerian have to do with anything? they don't live in Nigeria?

if the parents died then the parents are dead- in this case the parents are still alive- they need to minimise the pressure on the children after the divorce.

im sure the man hasn't ditched any meetings to be with his family lol! lets not make meaningless assumptions here- like i said before- if a man was pay for what women have historically contributed towards marriage he will be paying more than a lifetime of earnings. If one was to put a value on getting pregnant and having children alone most won't be able to afford it,

lets not even forget, this man can afford it, the 20million isnt comparable to the man paying half his salary in alimony and child support, and even losing his house.

Ok, lets assume the woman is a house wife. Does that mean she stays with her kids 24/7,  no,  she's got at least 4 nannies.

So, lets do it like this,  Children that are not happy with £2M,  go and stay with your father anytime you like,  he's still got 4 nannies,  and you can fly in his jet with him to meetings,  and anytime you want you can come home for mummy's love.

It's that simple,  and that possible. Most rich people don't live with their kids, other people are responsible for them. So, nothing has changed!,  only money.

queensmith:
^^ its about relative wealth dimwit. if you've been living in in a 20million house all your childhood it will be suffering to downgrade to a 1million one.
doesnt mean children do not survive in 20 000 houses.

and children are the most important party in any divorce- thats the reason some men end up paying out more than half their earnings.

ok your second paragraph made no sense.

no you cant simply put children where money is God saga are you just arguing for the sake of it??

lets turn around a question you asked on another thread- in western countries who is more likely to be fully taking care of the kids?

well the laws have been there before you were born and created by MEN much smarter than you. you can call it senseless till tomorrow they are still there. With majority of men running the judiciary system they still haven't changed.

Im not even going to try and defend a woman's contribution to a home or a marriage, but if you'd had to pay for it you'd be paying much more than half your life's earnings. think about that!

I think you are getting it all wrong. If children are the most important, then it's not about money. It's about love and care. And simply sharing btw both partners. The kids are not doll babies. They are Nigerians, and must understand that life is what it's. Change is the only constant thing. What if the parents died!

Do you know how many meetings the man ditched just to be with his family?,  Do you know how much money he's spent all these years especially on his wife!,  Lets stop this stupidity that because it's the system, it's right. We only oblige because we want orderliness. My friend, most women of the rich work, they enjoyed the fame and fortune together, and now that it's gone, let her live with it,  else, let her build her own empire.

I have worked very hard for my money. Any woman who wants to work hard, should do same. let her work extra hard. I will continue to give her free consultancy advise, free cash flow, free everything, free of rent, all support. I will share my wealth with you because I am fond of you. But the moment we are through with the relationship, we move on. I don't expect you to share your wealth with me either. Stop being a damn liability!

This is a Nigerian man, that hustled to get to where he's!, mark that word, hin hustle man,

This is not some football player, who dropped 3 mansions and $75M, this na 9ja man, he worked hard for his money, he keeps his money. If she's got the brains like some people suggest here, let her stop being an adviser and go get her own!,

At this moment, I love being Nigerian!

Life is the way you view it. Do whatever you want to do, as long as it doesn't affect my productivity and enjoyment, if it does, am sorry, I will not tolerate it.

I think the interview was great, that reporter was simply being stupid asking political questions from a musician!, someone who had a show in NY the next day, a big show, rubbish,

I am not lying, by all means tell your execs friends at Ecobank, the naivety of nairalanders never seizes to amaze me, do you think Ecobank didn't do their due diligence before taking on Oceanic, do you think I am only person this 'bank manager' helped out for a fee, do you think it's only in Oceanic?

everybody on nairaland is quick to point fingers at GEJ, SLS, NOI, OBJ, even IBB (or any other acronym), but we won't look to the grassroots. we all want to be 'fast' to be smart; to be the guy man, where did I know this 'bank manager' from ? he attends my church and see the kind of deals we dey do!!

I feel for the staff, but if you work for bankrupt organisation, it's only a matter of time - where are the staff of Nigeria Airways, NITEL, New Nigeria Bank, Savannah Bank, New Nigerian Newspaper, Iwopin Newsprint, need I go on and people are crying SLS over Ibru bank, what happened to staff of Igbindion bank - Crystal Merchant bank, or Jim Nwobodo Bank - Savannah, Banigho Bank - All States, need I go on?

Same thing with our governance. Nobody fixes the damn local Govt. Chairman who took away 10 cars and robbed them of 100M, always screaming Tinubu, Atiku, GEJ, when someone is busy screwing them over locally.

NEXt year, I will love to marry, so b4 then, i wanna thoroughly party, I wanna test all the skills dat i gat hin me, so when the party finish i go put am behind me!
