Na so. This is relatively common. Your sin is to have lost your job when you have a wife ready to spend the money therefrom
This is a warning to all men. Never ever lose your job, you have a wife that won't tolerate the loss of money. Like hell, what do you want her to do?

Seriously her mates are wearing Bone Straight and pinner four. How dare you go broke

Op better hijack a job at SPDC and make her happy again

Case closed, Problem solved

Hmm. Your misplaced angst is understandable. You feel cheated cos you missed all those fun in your youth whereas your partner had them and you are now forced to continue the funless pattern of your youth

Right? Well wrong. If you have been this way from all those years and succeeded, why do you think changing won't be destructive?

You didnt get to where you are now by going on those mad fun spree? Have you given a thought to what downsides those lifestyle portends at your age?

I have seen many come down with HIV, Alcoholic liver disease, Hepatitis etc just cos of the lose lifestyles you wish to drown in to claim even or victory over your wife

Even if she never told you that part of her growing up, wisdom is profitable to direct, in this case, to those lifestyles you would wish your kids to imbibe

I insist that these thoughts are negative and as a matured man, thoughts you cannot allow to dwell in you. You are not going to be punishing your wife, you are punishing yourself and ultimately become a bad example to the family you are trying to build

Good luck

True. This figure is more almost half of the annual budget. What is really going on guys? This is after the several previous borrowings running into trillions too! Does this mean we dont earn money again locally to fund the budget. What of the trillions collected by customs, FIRS, NNPC etc

What of the trillions EFCC said they recovered. Where did the previous trillions borrowed go to because I havent felt any improvment in any area of life since the massive borrowings

I dont seem to get this

One of the most failed us foreign policies that will go down in history!!

But wait oga, would the US stay in Afghanistan forever

Isnt there a time to say an end has come??

Do you know how much staying there costs the taxpayer daily?

Which country can afford to occupy another sovereign nation indefinitely

The laugh should be on the Afghan forces that surrendered their country to the Taliban without a fight

Wrong to randomly pick up people from bars, clubs and events and without warrant starts going through their phones in search of evidence to nail them

This has been the modus operandis for efcc lately. Randomly raiding places and forcefully going through people's phone to see if they would have incriminating evidence. This goes against every investigating tenets the world over. This arrant behavior is leaving the youths quaking in fear and many are mass abandoning the country. I do not believe this is how to build a country and engender cooperation between citizens and law enforcement

Crime fighting has a standard and established process. Crude methods of breaking into people's houses at odd hours in a gestapo style raid without warrant and without even knowing what they are looking for must stop. It is taking us backward and have the potential to lead to revolution. It is also endangering the reputations of innocent people wrongly labelled criminals only to be exonerated later.

If EFCC is doing the bidding of any foreign powers, they should check if those foreign law enforcement agents go about randomly picking people up in their own countries or break into citizens homes without even knowing who they are seeking or forcefully going through people's phones without warrants. The act of breaking the law to score media points is not how to move a country forward

Silly Millennials. Sex is all they mostly think of. Little wonder Nigeria is going to the dogs

Broken record already. Go to London or US and try to molest a minor and claim the CCTV is a set up

Only in Nigeria would people be defending the indefensible

These are symptoms of mental illness. You need therapy. Panic attacks and Depressions account for over 40% of suicide cases. These should not be taken lightly and you need all the help you can get

Nobody should make you feel low and you must not be shy of seeking the vital help you need. Often these cases degenerates cos the patients are worried about how others would view them if they speak out

There are various support groups online that you can join. These social interactions where you meet others with similar and potentially more worrying cases would help your psyche a great deal

Finally, note that, as in most cases as this, you are physiologically ok. There are no underlying illnesses. The issue is with your mind and a psychologist would be in the best position to tune your mind to accept this

Good luck

This is terrible. How did this country degenerate to this level. From successive govts

Sad

So effectively he has served his sentence and would be released immediately. This is a slap on the face of the yahoo boys that are sentenced to 5yrs in jail for lighter crimes

We have 3 types of marriages recognised in Nogeria

1. Traditional

2. Court

3. Church

Each is a valid form of marriage. What the church seeks to achieve is simply a blessing of the union. They cannot claim this wasnt already done at the traditional level or that God wasnt at the traditional marriage

The insistence that until the white wedding a marriage cannot be consummated is baseless and just a culture, rather than validity

What the judgement means is:

1. Go to prison for two years or pay an option of N200k fine

2. Convict would only be released if he repays the N2m stolen property even if he decides to pay the N200k fine or serve the two years jail term

Trump won in his dreams

Good one. This is just the beginning of the gradual demystification of Babalakin. Under previous governments he was acting like the Lord of the Earl, Mr Untouchable who can do and undo

He arrogates unlimited powers to himself. Pride always go before a fall

Thank God for this turn of events. He would pause to think before trying to disgrace someone else

Biologically men are at a disadvantage in maintaining fidelity. A man's testosterone level ranges from 270 nanogram per deciliter of blood to 1070 ng/dl, whereas a woman's is a mere 15 to 70 ng/DL

A man's sex drive is a raging bull of hormonal disadvantage. That said, self control is what it is, self control.

A woman biologically is wired to be in control sexually. She is not pushed beyond a certain level by hormones unlike men. For this reason a wise woman must protect her man from danger and make the home hospitable for him while keeping the bedroom really lively

Do not foolishly assume that since you are not "doing" he took wont be doing. You may easily control these urges or dont even have them, he often have to deal with these

A woman leaving her marriage cos the man cheated, well, I cant be the judge of that. However if you leave him for someone else, is the new man going to be any better? The new person may just be better at hiding it. There is a saying that it is only those that are caught are the thieves

Sometimes the grass is not greener at the other side

This is a 2014 thread when Akpabio of the then PDP was building the airport. I do not know who resuscitated the thread and for what purpose and the indomie generation that cannot even do a simple research has bought this hook, line and barrel

Sad

This airport has long been commissioned and in use

If you look at the thread well, you would see it is for year 2014

Sowore stop fighting for Nigerians only few can stand by you....just a handful


The rest are waiting for God to come and save their country


They didn't know God has come in the name of many who they turned their back on immediately they were put in jail, killed or detained

Nigerians needs psychological cleansing before they can understand they are in danger in the current sate of nigeria and appreciate people who wants better for Nigeria

BUT AS FOR I AND MY FAMILY....WE HAVE LOST HOPE OF NIGERIA AND CAN NEVER FIGHT BY OR FOR IT

I do not understand Nigerians. You guys were the ones claiming the messaih has cometh in 2015. Now you are claiming the state of Nigeria. Which state oga? If you sow wind, you reap whirlwind! People reap what they sow. Stop disturbing us jare

As for Sowere, this loathsome blackmailer and lie peddler lacks the moral latitude to claim others are bad. A pot calling kettle black. A hired gun who shoots like a child throwing his toys out of his pram when annoyed or denied favour. We know you Mr Sowere. Stop the tantrums. It wont wash

By choosing that word Revolution, expect Mr Messaih to deal with you ruthlessly

unlikely. There are waves and waves of it in the community. Thousands are infected daily and most are treating malaria. The few severe cases that gets to your attention, Mr Abayomi, cannot represent an accurate postulation to make your prediction

Where is dodo from?

Ishaya Dodo is from North Central

So we have 5 top executives appointed. None from the SE & SS. One from the SW and the rest from Northern Nigerian. Technically One from Southern Nigeria and 4 from Northern Nigeria

I doubt this meets the Federal Character law

What do I know sef

This Lala guy eeeh

What about The Guardian?

Are they relevant?

https://t.guardian.ng/news/fiiro-dg-chima-igwe-lied-about-obtaining-phd-from-benin-republic-says-icpc/

Oga, by the time this report was written by the Guardian, there were several facts that havent become public. It was the first whistle the board blew and when they arm twisted ICPC to reopen an investigation they had concluded and closed, which cleared the former DG

A new ICPC panel came up and has not even concluded their report before the board hurriedly came with an indictment and claimed he is guilty

Do you really think if this man is guilty he would be a free man or he would not have been dismissed? If he forged that certificate, he wont even simply be reduced by just a single level. He would have been fired and handed over to EFCC or police

There has been several facts that have emerged since Feb when this initial report came up. The school has severally confirmed the certificate as genuine and even issued a new attestation, same as they gave in 2001, reconfirming its genuiness. I literally graduated with this guy and had many cross reference publications with him

omonnakoda:


Why were these "facts" overlooked by the governing council when they recommended his demotion?

This matter was investigated by ICPC and they cleared this man. The board was not satisfied and when they got a new letter from the Uni with a language confusing explanation, they latched on it and claimed the attestation means the former DG hasnt defended his thesis
This has been cleared up that the attestation means certificate and you cannot even get statement of results which most schools issue before certificate unless you have completed the programme

I am not Igbo but I know the facts of this case well because I was doing my Phd when this fellow too was doing his and our paths crossed many times during our related research.

From all understanding the Board has an ax to grind with this guy and all they are holding on to is an unfounded claim that the Attestation is Not a certificate. Nothing more

The school itself has issued a new attestation when they were pressed to confirm if the man graduated. several media outfit has also confirmed the man graduated as claimed but many refused to publish the report. Can the board show us the letter they got from the school showing the 2001 certificate or attestation was forged so that French experts can interpret it and conclusively prove this allegation

This is simply a hatchet job by punch, pandering to the wish of the board chairman who clearly wants his own guy on the seat. A similar thing is playing out between the VC of unilag and Babalakin, the chairman of the governing board, and this power play is fast tearing the university apart

Its a good thing the honourable minister is towing the path of honour and refusing to allow this baying mob board enjoy their spoils of war

This is shoddy Journalism Punch. This rag is fast losing its relevance. How can a newspaper write all sorts of falsehood. The truth is that the Benin Uni issued the attestation and it was from the University and Attestation in French means Certificate. This has been reconfirmed by the University in February. The facts are there Punch. Check your facts before eliciting ethnic and paranoiac sentiments

You keep saying 19yrs. Is it that your Maths is bad or what From 1990 to 2019, how is that not 29yrs instead of the 19yrs you kept stating

israelmao:
Why it seems almost everybody is taking side in a case where incriminating evidence is yet to be presented?It is foolishness to take side in a matter which is yet to be backed up with concrete fact(s).

There has been several cases of historic crimes, especially historic rapes successfully prosecuted

The weight of evidence in proving this is a bit different from the norm. The standard is circumstantial.

Let me quote this: If it walks like a duck, quakes like a duck, jumps like a duck, then it must he a duck

Another: if the witch cries at night and in the morning the child dies, both must he related

Now study the two quotes above. For historic crimes, this is enough to convict you.

The prosecutor only needs to line up 3 or more women pointing and recounting similar experiences with this pastor to get a conviction. Do not bet against more than three women coming forward against this man

Altern8:


He has a bad reputation for sleeping with his members. Rape, on the other hand, is a new accusation. They are not just accusing him of having extramarital affairs this time. This is a criminal allegation. He is looking at prison in the face.

“No smoke without fire” is not a valid argument. Not unless you can get multiple witnesses whose stories will hold under cross examination. That’s why they need to charge him to court. Social Media won’t sentence him.

You have a point and the point assume he slept with Busola as he does with his other members, that is, with her consent

However being that she was a minor then, it is rape, regardless of consent or even if she initiated the act. That is the law

Let us all remember that a sexual predator like pastor Biodum is a danger to us all. He may have done similar things to people close to us that we don't even know of

When Ese vividly recounted how this man manipulated and took her innocence, a lot of people said her cries were that of a scorned woman

What we failed to note is that the pastor is someone in a position of trust and authority. Such people are expected to exhibit a higher standard of conduct. The same standard expected between a teacher and his students

We simply cannot allow a pastor prey on vulnerable women including minors. I am sure a lot of married women are victims even while married but can't speak up

This has to be investigated

We simply have to take into account that if this story is true and I see no reason why a married woman would open herself up to lie about a revered pastor, she must be hurting badly. Post traumatic stress disorder is a major issue

The fact you go to bed and sleep soundly is a grace. Many people arent that lucky. There are millions that cant sleep at night and wake up screaming in agony once they get to sleep

Rape leaves a woman in debilitating mental condition. Care must be taken to ensure they get adequate support.

On the balance of probability this man must have committed this crime. There have been numerous credible women accusing this same man about this same conduct in the past. They simply can't be picking on him.

Whilst he is presumed innocent before being proven guilty, we must not sweep this grave accusations under the carpet. These are potential crimes and potential victims who feel the effects of this trauma daily. They need help and they do not need derision and further victimisation

What does she stand to gain if the accusation is false. We must also assume she is not making this up and investigate this thoroughly. If indeed this pastor slept with her at 17 then it is rape regardless if she gave consent. Anyone that age is a minor and a minor cannot give consent. It is statutory rape even with her consent

I love Timi and his wife for standing up boldly and speaking out. Thousands of women have been raped by uncles, pastors, imams, and simply couldn't find the courage to speak out. Our culture doesn't look kindly on women who claim rape, especially when they willingly went to the man's house or when the man is a position of authority. We have to start understanding that No means No and we must remember a lot of women actually refuse consent but are intimidated into acceptance

Busola was clearly raped. It doesn't matter if she gave consent . Anyone below the age of 18 in Nigeria is a minor and cannot give consent. Once you sleep with a minor it is statutory rape. Whether or not she agreed to the act. The adult involved must know that kids cannot give valid consent. Statutory rape is RAPE regardless. It's the same as holding a gun to a woman and forcing sex. Both are rape

In the case of this pastor, it is on record he has been repeatedly accused of this conduct by various and credible women. It is absurd to assume they singled him out for vindictiveness. I cannot remember other pastors like Chris oyakilome and Lazarus being accused of rape. So why this man and coming from various women. On the balance of probability we must assume it must be true

This is a married women. What exactly does she have to gain by this accusation? She all but has everything to lose.

The pastor put out a response yesterday full of lies. At one point He claimed no one has directly accused him of anything in the past when in fact Ese Walters directly and in vivid account accused him of variously sleeping with her both in London and in Nigeria, and taking her innocence and faith in God. Till date he choose to ignore her and allowed the furore to die presumably as no crime as committed because Ese was an adult at the time.

He is aware the Busola case is a potential crime as she was vulnerably taken advantage of as a MINOR which is a crime!

My conclusion is that this is a highly dangerous individual and I can surmise there would be countless more cases of other women in that church, married and singles, minors and adults, whom this man has used his position of authority to abuse. An investigation must be launched forthwith and more vulnerable women saved from this horrible predator

The Nation newspaper giving APC version of the story to water down the outcry

I can confidently say that like aviation, China has been poor on mobile technology.

Just take a look at the Chinese cars available. I wont be holding my breath on this. They are good at copying other technology and doing so very poorly

If the koreans, as smart and tech advanced as they are, rely on Google, I can't see the Chinese having a better product

My guess is they had this all along but couldn't use it cos it compared poorly to android. They are simply doing this cos they have no choice not that it is better
