All Things Bright and Beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Don't be the victim and don't blame people for their sins. One old woman was advising a young man he should endeavor to marry a free woman. That any woman who has a baby is no longer free, and not suitable for marriage.

Very wise old woman.

It doesn't matter why she's a single mum. She likely has too much baggage going with her. The trauma of divorce, widowhood or being abandoned by her first man or baby daddy.

Either she believes life is unfair or that men are scum. She's with you for the benefit for her and her child only, not commitment to build a life with you.

You are not a firefighter to be quenching fire set by others or circumstances in her life before meeting you.

For those saying it is fake, I have seen several real life cases that would sound less credible than this story if I hadn't witnessed them.

gbadexy:
Was he the main man. Just asking.
I have to type epistle to comment now.

See JAMB question.
The woman's hope is that her main man should not find out. She's racking her brain how to convince the real guy it was a skit. Or will tell her real odogwu "na one infatuated guy dey mumu himself."

Fear women.

The real guy might be abroad or working in another city. The girl just found this guy convenient to hold body since. He was dating himself.

That's a fat lie!! Ensure you get your facts right before making assertions.....I was on 3mb around 9am Saturday morning and getting to that police point on the bridge,I saw emergency vehicles,lasema,an ambulance,some police vehicles and a little crowd gathered and all focused downwards looking into the lagoon,I was with someone and we both were wondering what could have been wrong,it was not until evening I saw the news on SM about the accident, Immediately I was able to piece 2 and 2 together.

Yes, Aisha family's said the ambulance, LASEMA and others were there relatively early BUT they didn't enter the water to find Aisha. It was around 2 pm that her family got local divers/fishermen to search for her, but had to pay 400k or so.

correctguy101:
Yes , envy and jealousy...

And "unadulterated" retribution for "eating other people's food" .. the long throat man...

He suppose dey thank his ancestors Dem no go for his head... (Whether dem fit still arrange am inside prison is still up for debate)

Those big guns nor be fools. Direct actions after the scandal will make too many people suspects. After a year in jetair, everybody will forget him.

Dem fit finish the last part quietly there. The guy too do na. He should just have fled since.

PlasmaTV:
We don't know what's doing us in this country

Extremely laughable and pathetic

Na so Boko take start. To make boko not to be haram, women must separate from men. Ok o.

Like play like play.

Soon, fanatics will forbid their daughters from going to mixed universities.

Will there be compulsory hijab and curfew after lecture hours?

ACL injury nor be joke o.

For any performance sport, na gbenge.

This must be Arise News judgement about Senators....
Rufai Oseni botanical journalistic view about senators perfomers.

See weyrey! Which one be botanical journalism again o.

So person wey study Animal Husbandry go be animalistic journalist, abi?
So, they will soon have " Musa species/plantain" abi amala journalist.

Person nor wan laff but Nairalanders nor go gree.

Ah! Far and wide no man to blame for it.

Wait, feminists will soon blame local men for being too weak to prevent women disgracing themselves.

Abeg, who has that Didier Drogba meme, chuckling with his eyes closed?

Women supporting women (WSW) in the mud.

Solsix:
Yaradua was a good man, not a tribalistic and was fair to everyone. There was no fantastic governor those days especially from the north unlike now. He was also looking for someone who is not corrupt.

Yar'Adua was a good person, but not dynamic enough and did not understand 9ja well enough.
Had Yar'Adua spent full 8 years, our notion of him would have been more negative.

Leaders who die early in office get away with more regard than they deserve. Just like Murtala Mohammed who destroyed the Nigerian civil service.

There were many good candidates to replace OBJ from the North, if he had no 3rd term ambition and not too vindictive.
The warped idea of "formidable candidate, strong man" led to Buhari becoming president. How good was he? We need young, dynamic leaders who can build institutions.

Even as of today, why can't Zulum, Fashola, Adeshina, Arunma Oteh, and others be president?

Yes, OBJ set up some of the most important institutions we have today: EFCC, NAFDAC, etc. No living Nigerian knows 9ja better than him.

Yet, he let personal grudges and loyalty to his late former military regime 2ic to cloud his judgement.

Demigod22:
When those European and American sportsmen go broke, they never rely on the government to feed them. They are not entitled.

Lol. In the West, there is social safety net provided by the govt.
If they get really badly broke, they can get housing and basic support to live. It's only that they have lived a luxury life that basic life may seem like poverty. But millions of Europeans and Americans live such basic life.

It's 9ja that has no govt social support.

madridguy:
Our greatest problem is that majority of us lack financial discipline and proper planning towards the future.

An average European players are already planning towards their retirement ten years ahead. Some will join the coaching crew and start taking courses in coaching. While some will start investing in a football club while some will start a football academy, training future players which he will later be their agent in the future.

Footballers or not, everyone must have a retirement plan in whatever field we found ourselves.

The biggest investment in life in human investment. Many of our football players during their time couldn't point a single footballer they mentor, sponsor to attain greater height.

Our musicians are doing so, helping upcoming artists and by doing that they remain in the industry and still have boys they're making money from.

Some European footballers also go broke after retirement. Bad investment, gambling, substance abuse, financial illiteracy, huge tax arrears bills, demanding family members, etc. Despite that even an average European bank can give you good advice on safe investment of your money as a customer. Never mind the many accountants in private practice everywhere. They can help understand the tax implications of investments.

Mike Tyson once went broke. Many American sportsmen and musicians too.

Clubs should start supporting players right from the Academy level on managing money. The FA too. Footballers' Union must introduce such programmes too.

After retirement, many ex-footballers said they still had good money but became depressed. They had only known football since age of 6 or 7. Suddenly they were at home. The camaraderie of fellow players and the bubble ended. They could not just go out freely. So, locked at home, some turned to alcohol and online gambling.

These days, footballers do their badges before, start a tangible businesst or make inroads into punditry before before retirement.

Shimbo96:
she chose not to disclose where they add what she removed from her belle... Are you expecting her to add it to her brain?

Ah! You nor get joy o.

Maybe she added it to her eyelashes, as far as the person you quoted is concerned.

Where else can they add all that belly fat is not her behind?

KingAzubuike:
This guy in movies always have problem in his marriage. Most especially child bearing.

His mother always end up bringing him a very "fertile" girl from the village who would bear kids for him. . The idea is that he should kick out his infertile wife and take in the village girl.

He always kick against it coz he loves his wife so much. This usually ends in a feud between his mother and him

I guess you still have DVDs/VCDs of them at home. You too know the guy.

Always caught between his mother's and wife's manipulation.

Hamachi:
I understand your frustration, but we can’t dismiss everything about 9ja just like that. Yes, the system is rough, messy, and sometimes feels like 1+1 equals -633, but not everything here is a total waste. Even in developed countries, their systems didn’t get perfect overnight—they went through decades of corruption, failed policies, and trial and error before building what we admire today.

The truth is, if everyone who sees the faults simply checks out and says “I’ll only invest abroad,” then the cycle here never breaks. The same corrupt system will continue unchecked because the very people who know better have left their hands off.

It’s not about putting all your life savings in Nigeria, but at least recognizing that local opportunities do exist. Small, strategic plays here can still yield returns, especially because the market is underdeveloped and full of gaps waiting for smart minds. Abroad gives you safety, but at home there’s also leverage if you know where to look.

I like your optimism. I was a bigger preacher of "9ja will be great" just 20 years ago. Invested in farming, livestock, stock market, healthcare products, etc. Even the so-called real estate that tenants will rather sue you to court than vacate their flat for the landlord or pay up?

In the end, people you trusted turned out to be total fraud. Even blood ties has no value in 9ja these days.

So, why should one continue? To lose even more money?

Anyway, may be some people have the stamina for it. I don't have such any more.

Hamachi:
Kindly read on Stick split and what happened when companies merge. Knowledge they say is power.

Listen, I bought shares like 30 years ago abroad already. Don't tell me about any useless knowledge that 9ja flips on its head. A place where 1 + 1 can be -633?
Is the way 9ja runs corrupt democracy that serious countries run it?

My mistake was to believe that things work in 9ja as they do in countries where the people and govt mean well for themselves.

I don't need it. I keep my little money invested where it has always worked before the 9ja misadventure.

Unless you are a big player, or can have insider tips, all these book metrics hardly matter. I believed all these about 20 years ago and invested. Then the banks began their abracadabra merger and acquisition. Na so 10 shares go turn to 3 shares, 2000 shares turn to 350 shares. I don't think even Newton, Gauss or Euler could have worked out the equation they used.

Na story e take end.

Nnamdipapa:
You better pity yourself if you cannot afford simple flights to Nigeria. I got a one way ticket from Toronto to Lagos for $3,200 on Royal Air Maroc.
If your earn dollars in Nigeria, have your own home with solar power, good security in a double gated estate and spend in Naira, Nigeria can be HEAVEN ON EARTH.
Never make the mistake to assume everyone has the same experience in Nigeria and if you cannot afford a flight from Denmark, you might be better off in Nigeria.
Africa is the next ftontier for investments opportunities as the west is getting saturated.

Wow at bolded. I would never spend that on a single flight. Not if someone's life wasn't at stake or some other serious situation.
That amount would help many schools kids from our charity organisation on ground.

Yes, I have spent almost 3 times the bolded for a family's summer holiday, adjusted for today's inflation.
Air Maroc don hammer.

As for the double-gated house, that suggests an elitist mentality. No country serious about going forward would compel citizens to live in a double-gated housing just to be safe and live a normal life.
Put yourself in the shoes of 80% of the people, the majority who struggle.

I used to go to 9ja at least once or twice yearly around 25 to 10 years ago. Now I don't. The poverty is too much there. It's sad to see.
May be you can lock yourself up somewhere safe in 9ja and pretend all is well.

I can see why Trump wants to stop funding so much around the world.

They need to focus on upgrading their infrastructure, military equipment and human services.

China with ororo equipment is surging ahead. AI-driven chassis facilities and infrastructure.

9ja should learn from it and stop playing big brother in Africa. Other Africans will still go and thank the West for it.

The ties with Brazil that Tinubu is developing is one thing I support.

But out there, they claim self-made man.

The money was good. The connections and licences he got opened even more doors.

No real 9ja rich man/woman without political money.

Even Cosharis, one of the most honest businessmen out there, still benefitted from govt contracts to supply cars.

kenneth888:
this is insane .... She is confused and mad .... but how come the wife is already threaten the young man to leave ... Thats why i love African women or rather Nigerian women .... Better fight for don start sinnnnnnnce,,,

Women easily believe women in that situation.
Each woman has been programmed to believe her hubby can easily cheat. Whereas men foolishly believe their wifey cannot cheat.

So, men currently have over 30% kids from other men outside under their roof as "false biological" children.

SuperEagles:
I laugh when i see ypur likes make this comment. I sent my wife to ths UK cause she wanted to study n banking on securing COS with which we all can migrate so if we do few montha feom now you will claim she sponsored me abroad. ?!

Note I paid every single kobo evwn incuring debt I am yet to settle. Continue clowning thinking you fool anyone. No Naija can sponsor a man abroad no matter how wealth she or her family is. It does not happen.

See my post above yours. You know some people can't think that far.

Nazgul:
Didn't you read the article, the wife is the one who brought him over.

But did they say how she first came to the UK? The guy may have sold property to send her to UK.

The word "dependent" suggests more like the recent Master's student parole sponsorship, though it can be other spousal stuff.

Problem is, the guy might even have beaten her. Just make a claim and authorities eager to reduce immigration will believe it. As a man, no chance. a woman can claim "self-defence" and weaker sex things. Nor be UK again? We don see all sorts before.

If the guy was really foolish enough to really beat her, he deserved his deportation.

Oo0Oo0Oo0:
Never heard about him. Rest in peace, anyway.

How many more characters remain?

9ja turned him down, so he went to play for Benin Republic.

RIP.

KIDfurniture:
It is not tinubu’s money - DNA price should be subsidized . May we never be a victim of kidney problem.

Very necessary.
But abortion rate will sky-rocket if DNA test is subsidised.

Drogba inspired Osihmen to greatness too. He said alot about his support while playing the Under 17 world cup.

Drogba na Ororogba for doings.

He understand the European system.

flyinnizam:
US embassy don't care about your scholarship. Let him go to Europe or scholarship students don't apply for visa? Getting Visa date alone is frustrating. Say what u know. He can apply for phd through US embassy in Europe after his European tour

He can even do PhD in Germany after that and go for post-doc in USA. His African and European links will be vital in future research that value international collaboration.
While in Germany, he can connect with Swiss and Austrian scientists too.

Bahamas95:
I don't have problem with B and C.

But you see that "A"? If I say what's on my mind I will chop ban..

I wonder where they expect A to carry anybody to. Across to where na?

Na wa o.

So people can built house so close the mighty ocean.

So that they can say good morning to Mammy Water or what?

If at all, houses like this should be specially built.

Imagine a Tsunami caused by an earthquake somewhere not far in the Atlantic. What will happen here?

Lovelies1:



But on a serious note. If he had beg that amount of money from them will any of them have given him such amount.

He is an able-bodied man. Men are meant to work hard.

I heard the story days ago. He even got his girlfriend to convince public figures in the area. I listened to his girlfriend's recorded original telephone call to a public figure seeking help.

Later, the pubic figure who innocently solicited help for the self-kidnapper faced a backlash. Very bad.
