I saw this post on Facebook, guys what's your honest opinion?

One of my senior friend met his wife in the 1990s as a typist working in a business centre near a court. He was smitten by her and promised to upgrade her.

He is a lawyer, he married her and trained her in school to become a lawyer too. She was called to bar, he got her a job in the court and she became a Legal Assistant at Judiciary.

His aim was for her to become a judge or magistrate. Presently, she is a Chief Registrar, she would have been among the judges appointed by Governor Wike except that she was originally from Akwa Ibom.

My senior friend have on many occasions travelled to the UK, USA, Germany and Hong-Kong. He never thought of divorcing the wife or abandoning his family. They have 4 children together.

Few years back, he decided for the first time to travel with the wife. The wife's sister has been living in the USA. He trained the wife's sister too, she met her husband who took her to the USA while living in his house in Port Harcourt.

The USA Embassy usually give 2 years Tourist Visa to first timers. So his wife got 2 years. While they were in the USA it was decided that the wife stayed back and give birth to their last child whom she was pregnant with.

My senior friend came back to Nigeria, few months after she gave birth and was expected back. A lawyer from FIDA (Women's Lawyers Association in Nigeria) served my friend a Divorce Petition.

He was heartbroken. He still loved his wife, but she said she wanted to stay back and was no longer interested in the marriage.

At the end of the day my senior friend was able to use her family and some of their mutual friend to talk to her. He promised to have a joint bank account with her and do all other conditions she stated, including another marriage at the registry.

She came back. He stole her passport. He decided within himself never ever to let her travel again. They celebrated their 25th anniversary recently. They were so happy in church, she bought him an expensive wristwatch, while he bought her a car. They have not done the marriage at the registry.

During his birthday last year, she surprised him with a trip to Transcorp Hotel, Abuja. She loves the husband, but if he allowed her to travel to UK or Canada today, she will begin to see a world better than what she has and she will forget her love for him and wish to have something better than him.

My friend has decided that he will make sure she doesn't become a judge. He wants his daughter, who was recently called to the bar to go into the judiciary, and he will pursue for her to become a judge in place of her mother.

He has learned his lesson, but the wife doesn't know this. The wife is not a bad person. She was being a wvmån. It is a biological trait in them.

Don't wait till it happens to you before you learn.

Go to many families in Anambra and Abiriba whose children flooded overseas in the late 1990s to 2000s; I make bold to say that 70% the mothers who went for Omogwu never came back to their husband. They abandoned their younger children, the family, and their husband and stayed back.

If you genuinely love your wvmån, do not upgrade her to a better life that she has never been accustomed to, you will regret it bitterIy. Build your wvmån but keep her below you.

Seun, RoyalRoy

Na so tommy wife take go USA for omugwo; only tommy come back, wife stay back till tomorrow.

What are you relating when you used d words "deaths from insecurity"?
If it's what I'm thinking then this stats is very very incorrect and misleading, cos on the aspect of insecurity in Nigeria, no state is safe security-wise.
We are taking the greatest security risks just by living in this country.

MortalKombat:
It's an organized scam by churches to keep the congregation at bay.

Have you ever seen a miracle happened at any church before? I'm not talking all those staged skit ran by these fake pastors.

A church will sell stickers of their pastors to members for protection yet the pastor has Mobile Policemen,Soldiers, DSS etc as security.

Pastor that cannot protect himself, without fetish means. I still keep wonder why people are still stuck in dis religion of a tin

MortalKombat:
And you think Peter obi is not occultic or spiritually guided?

Cos he's catholic,you think he doesn't have charms all over his body?

Why do you think he's always on black?

Underestimate him at your own peril

But if all d holy water, anointing oil,holy communion etc that are used in these worship centers cannot give d required spiritual protection one needs, what's d essence of using dem in d church.

Driggs:
Your death will not be in vain..

We will troop out and vote for Peter Obi so we can achieve the Nigeria of our dreams

Pitee pitee politics dis one want to play. De no dey pity candidate 4 election voting, who u lk nai u go vote.

Napata77:

OGIBRA:
They dont want protest against government in their county, but can sponspor terrorist in another country, fund, finance and support shiites to protest in kaduna and abuja against a state authority... I HOPE, NIGERIA CAN SEE THESE FOREIGN COUNTRY HYPOCRISY...

Too many of dem

Two men have been hanged in Iran for killing a member of the security forces during nationwide protests against the government last year.

Mohammad Mahdi Karami and Seyed Mohammad Hosseini had appealed against their sentences, saying they had been tortured into making false confessions.

UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said the executions were "abhorrent".

The total number of protesters known to have been executed in the aftermath of the unrest is now four.

Demonstrations against the clerical establishment erupted in September following the death in custody of a woman detained by morality police for allegedly wearing her hijab, or headscarf, "improperly".

Iran's judicial news agency, Mizan, said the two men were the "main perpetrators" in the killing of paramilitary officer Ruhollah Ajamian. Prosecutors say he was stripped naked and killed by a group of mourners paying their respects to a recently killed protester.

The men were first sentenced to death in December 2022 but they launched appeals after saying they had been tortured.
Iran's Supreme Court upheld the sentence on 3 January.

Human rights group Amnesty International denounced what it described as a "sham" trial and said Iranian authorities were seeking the death penalty for at least 26 others.

The family of 22-year-old Mr Karami say they were not permitted to meet him before he was killed on Saturday. They had also pleaded with the judiciary to spare his life. "I beg you please, I ask you... to remove the death penalty from my son's case," his father said.

The UK's James Cleverly urged the Iranian authorities to "end the violence against its own people", while the EU said it was "appalled" by the use of the death penalty against protesters.

At least 516 demonstrators including 70 children have been killed so far in the unrest and 19,262 others have been arrested, according to the foreign-based Human Rights Activists' News Agency. It has also reported the deaths of 68 security personnel.

Many of those who have been detained after protests have reportedly been subjected to enforced disappearance, incommunicado detention, torture and other ill-treatment.

Iranian officials describe the protests as "riots" and have accused foreign powers of fuelling the unrest.
Three other men have been sentenced to death in the same case, while another 11 received prison sentences.

The latest hangings follow last month's executions of two other men allegedly involved in attacks on security forces.

Na people wey their voting no go even count sef nai dey support obi. The real deals are supporting tinubu, now tinubu is the next president of Nigeria.

South south no support you, south west no support you, north no support you; south east no join. how you wan take win d election make we see. Obi supporters are just dreaming and living in fantasy. The earlier they know this the better. Obi should just back out of this race.

Ok. Oya! Here we go! More of this will start to happen from now on. It's about to be the latest trend, esp in the USA.

Cinema4d:
Is this a trap or it's true?

Plenty comments but no answer.

@op it's a trap. Osho!

But who really should be bleamed for dis decision? I think Putin. U no agree my own, u want make I agree 4 ur own.

I'm sure d west is dictating for him

Una dey see wahala abi?

Later this people will blame Russia as the bad one.

Zelensky thinks Ukraine is winning the war already, so no need for a ceasefire at any point in time

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his defence minister to impose a 36-hour ceasefire on the Ukrainian front line.
The ceasefire - from 12:00 Moscow time (09:00 GMT) - coincides with the Russian Orthodox Christmas.
Mr Putin asked Ukraine to reciprocate, but Kyiv quickly rejected the request.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said the truce was an attempt to stop his country's military advances in the east of the country.
The Kremlin statement appeared to stress that President Putin ordered his troops to stop fighting not because he was de-escalating - Putin never de-escalates - but because he had listened to an appeal from the head of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Patriarch Kirill had, earlier in the day, called for a Christmas truce to allow believers to attend services for Orthodox Christmas.
Mr Putin's order called on Ukraine to reciprocate so that the "large numbers of Orthodox believers [who] reside in areas where hostilities are taking place" could celebrate Christmas Eve on Friday and Christmas Day on Saturday.
But in his nightly video address, President Zelensky said that Russia wanted to use the truce as a cover to stop Ukrainian advances in the eastern Donbas region and bring in more men and equipment.
The Russian Orthodox Church - the largest of the Eastern Orthodox Churches - celebrates Christmas Day on 7 January, according to the Julian calendar.
Some people in Ukraine celebrate Christmas on 25 December, others on 7 January. Both days are public holidays in the country.
This year, for the first time, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine said it would allow its congregations to celebrate Christmas on 25 December, as do some other denominations in western Ukraine.
The Church split with the similarly named Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) in 2018.
The UOC itself was tied to Moscow's religious leadership until Russia's invasion, and some of its top clergy have been accused of still covertly supporting Moscow.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said Moscow had repeatedly ignored President Zelensky's propositions for peace. He pointed to Russia's shelling of Kherson on 24 December and strikes on New Year's Eve as evidence of Moscow's inability to cease hostilities during religious holidays.
US President Joe Biden believes Mr Putin was simply "trying to find some oxygen".
The Kremlin's ceasefire fits in nicely with a common narrative in Moscow, one that is aimed primarily at the domestic audience. That is - that the Russians are the good guys, and it is Ukraine and the West that are threatening Russia.
The truce is also a handy tool that can be used to demonise Ukraine - as the Ukrainians have dismissed the proposal, Moscow will claim that Kyiv does not respect religious believers and has no desire for peace.
But it should not be forgotten that it was Russia who started this war by launching an unprovoked invasion of its neighbour.
The move also comes just a few days after a large number of Russian troops were killed in a Ukrainian strike on a temporary barracks in the occupied Ukrainian city of Makiivka.
The Russian defence ministry put the death toll at 89, making it the highest single loss of life admitted by Moscow since the war began.
Relatives of the dead, as well as some politicians and commentators, expressed anger over what happened in Makiivka and blamed incompetent military officials. The incident happened on New Year's Eve - the most important holiday in the Russian calendar.
Political analyst Tatyana Stanovaya says that it is possible the Kremlin wants to ensure no more major loss of life occurs on another important Russian holiday.
"Putin really does not want a repetition of that on Orthodox Christmas Day," she wrote.
A few hours after Russia's ceasefire announcement, Germany said it would follow the US in providing a Patriot air defence missile system to Ukraine. Germany also announced, in a joint statement with the US, that both countries would send armoured vehicles.
France said on Wednesday that it would send armoured fighting vehicles.
Kyiv has repeatedly called for more aid from its international allies in the face of continuing Russian aggression.

God bless Putin. I use to dislike dis man, I won't anymore. Putin wants countries like Nigeria to progress independently from their colonial masters. The EU, US and UK are oppressive world powers and cowards.

Cameroon's Under-17s face a race against time to field a team for regional African Cup of Nations qualifiers after more players failed age tests ordered by Samuel Eto'o, president of the country's governing body, Fecafoot.

The former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker's insistence on using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) screening saw the squad ravaged at their training camp in Mbankomo, on the outskirt of Yaounde.
Of the initial 30-member group, 21 failed the tests.
But BBC Sport Africa now understands Cameroon have suffered a fresh setback as 11 new players also failed tests on Tuesday, with coach Jean Pierre Fiala struggling to find replacements.
Cameroon host Congo, Chad, DR Congo and Central African Republic for the Central African Football Federations' Union (UNIFFAC) qualifiers between 12 and 24 January, with two teams progressing to April's Under-17 Nations Cup in Algeria.
A Fecafoot statement said Eto'o gave "strict instructions" for the actions to be taken "in order to put an end to the tampering with civil status records which have, in the past, tarnished the image of Cameroon football.
"Fecafoot urges all actors, in particular educators, to ensure that the ages by category are respected."

The fight against age cheats
Many of Africa's international successes in junior tournaments have been clouded by allegations of the use of over-age players.
Football's world governing body Fifa introduced MRI scans at the 2009 Under-17 World Cup, which took place in Nigeria.
The MRI works by scanning the wrist to study how advanced the bone structure is
In 2017, Fecafoot blocked 14 players from taking part in the Under-17 Afcon in Gabon after they failed the tests.
Eto'o promised to take action to combat the long-running problem when he was elected Fecafoot president in December 2021 and Simon Lyonga, a journalist with Cameroon's national broadcaster CRTV, says the decision to weed out age cheats has been applauded by the public.
"Here in Cameroon, people are by and large pleased that Fecafoot actually seem to be doing something to try to stop the cheating," Lyonga told BBC Sport Africa.
"It is important for the country to give chances to players of the right age."
Cameroon have twice been continental champions at Under-17 level, in 2003 and 2019.

Ipob's lack of strategy was what created the monsters out of the men they armed in the name of ESN. Things have spiralled out of control because there was never a clear cut strategy. Ipob's lack of strategy was what created the monsters out of the men they armed in the name of ESN. Things have spiralled out of control because there was never a clear cut strategy. Sometimes, guns na the last thing you need to give people, IPOB failed in that aspect. They may not be a terrorist group, but they have successfully created one.

Big ups for dis ur brief analysis

jmoore:
2023 Budget of 21.8 trillion naira. 30% of it (6.6 trillion naira) will be used to service debt.
APC/Buhari has finished this country!!

USA spend between 4 and 5 % of their national budget to service debt.

While Nigeria will spend about 30% of the national budget to service debt in 2023.

A poor country spending 30% to service debt VS a rich country spending 4.5% to service debt.

See why I'm not even sure of Nigeria's progression in next 100 years? Bad government!
