Dear Nairalanders..this is my first thread and it stems from misery

I've been in this relationship going to two(2) years now and we are deeply in love and planning to get married this year and my introduction is coming up soon but I'm having this serious issue I need help to deal with...

We all know there's no relationship without its hurdles,frictions and tensions but each time this happens my man keeps malice which can run from days into weeks, anytime we quarrel and I try talking to him later probably to apologise he'll feign more anger and i'll leave him and stay miserable till whenever he decides to end the malice he'll come kneeling or asking his relatives or friends to call and apologise on his behalf..

i'll take this decision not to talk to him again but when once I open my door and see him kneeling I go all weak and accept his apologies and it won't take up to a week or two again something will happen and he'll start ignoring me again...

Please help and advice a miserable fellow nairalander on how to deal with this situation now that it's still early,we've not spoken since Friday and it could be worse after marriage

Good development but world bank and the federal government really needs to put in place more stringent controls to monitor the disbursement of the funds by the project implementation units. I have had the opportunity of auditing a world bank assisted project and the loan was wasted on useless consultancy services and international tours. This huge sum should be properly monitored for effective utilisation.

The World Bank has announced the approval of $2.1bn loan for seven projects to be executed in Nigeria.

A statement issued in Abuja on Thursday said the loans were approved in Washington on Wednesday and are for seven projects to support Nigeria’s investment in nutrition, access to electricity, states’ fiscal transparency, polio eradication, women’s economic empowerment, public finance and national statistics and reducing vulnerability to soil erosion.

World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, Rachid Benmessaoud, was quoted to have said, “The Federal Government of Nigeria’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan identifies human capital investment, restoring growth, and building a competitive economy as its key pillars.

The projects approved by the International Development Association, the bank’s low-interest arm, are expected to support Nigeria’s economic growth plan.

Growth rates in Nigeria have bounced back since the third quarter of 2016, when a recession, its first in 25 years, bottomed out. Growth returned largely due to higher oil prices, with the country relying on crude sales for much of its revenue.

However, growth slowed again in the first quarter of 2018, as the country’s non-oil sector struggled.

The government expects growth to rise to a pre-recession level of 7 percent by 2020.

The World Bank said more than half of the loans would be used to fund power and climate change projects and boost fiscal transparency. It also approved a $7 million grant for nutrition.

Nigeria privatised most of its power sector in 2013 but retained control of its dilapidated monopoly transmission grid, often blamed for hobbling growth.

The country intends to raise $2.8 billion of debt offshore to help part-finance its 2018 budget and plans to explore all options to lower costs, the debt office head told Reuters.

The debt office said it could tap capital markets or concessionary loans from the World Bank after the 2018 budget had been approved.

If things are put are in place; sponsorship, remuneration, security and good publicity. Nigerians would come out to watch match. I would also, want the government to reduce the number of foreign leagues that would be aired in Nigeria.

Pacesetter123:
Good one dere,bros!

No single home based player in our team and this is not good for our soccer developmemt. A blend of both foreign based and home based players would have given us a better result. It worked perfectly for us in the last AFCON won by Nigeria. Did you notice how the home based boys played with Atletico Madrid recently in the friendly. Most of these so_called foreign based are tired legs and some are not even playing regularly in thier clubs. Untill we start giving opportunity to local players too so that everyone fights for the shirt based on merit before we can move forward.

easyelliot:
If Im not mistaken, this is the first time, in recent memory, that not a single African country has advanced....

Shame.

salford:
it's a funny cycle. People are clamoring for the local league to be developed, but it won't develop if they have less people coming to watch the games. Nigerians would rather pay to watch European league matches unlike the south Americans that fully support their local leagues.

fashrola:
The most funniest part is that people will still vote for them... It is really weird....

Jamariwolff:
After breaking this relationship over a lil fight which involved him making fun of my academic performance, I blocked him on WhatsApp nd told him to stay away from me offline.
He's handsome and fun.
I'm not my self anymore, I'm presently awake from a hangover yesterday evening over this same issue


I miss those funny night chats with this guy, but I can't get my proud self to apologise right now.

OrestesDante:




∆ This is not new now... You find this in almost every state ∆

peemyke:
I went to immigration office at Federal Secretariat, Akwa Ibom. Mehn, I would have thought the place is not functioning any more, if not for the cars parked. Refuse everywhere! This is really an embarrassing sight. It's an eyesore. Something should be done about this at least to provide a clean, safe and healthy working environment.

addikt:
Yeah ,that blue works like magic. I'm 28, nwver shaved in my life cos I'm not hairy, friends laff at me lol... I swear I never experienced body odour before in my life until I tried that XL, it was cool for the first 2 hours and later I feel uncomfortable and feeling some odour ...I have to stop it and go back to my Nivea

milanseedorf:
I have never used deodorant. Shave your armpit regularly, wash your cloths with nice detergent and maintain a good hygiene your good to go.

MrMakaveli20:
who wants to even go to the crime ridden, drug infested Ecuador? certainly not me. I will even prefer the Gambia or any other good African Nation.

Kneephy:
Rubbish!
Like, who's even interested in visiting Ecuador in the first place??

This stupid country denying a whole Nigeria free visa. God punish una for me.

goldbim:
It still does not change the fact that the child is binding the woman and the man so therefore,they should respect their kids!!besides,why are they coming out to rant on social media like they made the babies together online..
You have an issue with your baby daddy,handle/trash it out privately! A responsible father is a responsible father while it's opposite is same too..A social media shade/bashing won't change a thing rather cause more heart wreck..

Stefanelle:
....... and I've not seen an unemployed Medical Laboratory Scientist too

My chest

omojeesu:
God no respecter of persons! Correct!

But

1) Israel is special to God. Though special, God has repeatedly punished Jews for their sins. He has also punished other nations for their sins and for being wicked to Israel.

2) The destinies of other nations are linked to the destiny of Israel according to the Bible. The destinies of individuals, Jew or not, are linked to the Jewish Messiah, Jesus. Are you linked to Him. I did so more than 30 years ago.

omojeesu:
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE FACTS OF THE SITUATION ARE NOT IN DOUBT RIGHT OR WRONG.

UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE BIG PICTURE WHICH IS PROPHETIC YOU WILL ONLY SEE THE FACTS BUT NOT KNOW THE TRUTH.

SOONER OR LATER ISRAEL ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE WILL BE ON THE RECEIVING END AGAIN FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE THE END OF ALL THINGS. FOR THAT SHORT PERIOD ALL THE ENEMIES OF JEWS & CHRISTIANS WILL HAVE THEIR WAY AND REJOICE. BUT THEIR JOY WILL BE CUT SHORT WHEN JESUS RETURNS.

THAT IS THE TRUTH.

Der should learn to stage a peaceful protest, and be heard instead of getting themselves killed. Dieing cant give them wat they want.

Eleponblue:
Oga! Go and read your bible...Israel can never be defeated! Except God is a liar

odigbosky:
Erdogan speaks from both side of his mouth. Turkey can never speak for the Arabs, was it not the same Turkey that was oppressing the Arabs till the Brits freed them. This same Erdogan that wanted Bashir Al-assad out and yet Iran wants Al-assad to stay. They seem to forget that the blockade on Gaza is by both Israel and Egypt. Egypt hates Hamas and until Hamas is removed from that place, those people will continue to surfer. Jordan has a vast land, let her absorb those Palestinians...For Iran to call on sanctions on America shows how foolish she is, does she want to starve them of their Oyel money...well thank God for the new Saudi Crown prince, the guy would rather dine with Netanyahou than walk with Rouhani. Do you know the arabs in Israel live better lives than those in Jordan. Those in jordan are called Palestinian refugees but those in Israel are called citizens....Let the Arabs take away hate from the negotiation table, Israel has come to stay and let them learn to live with it...The Egyptians are learning fast now

ndy87:
This Turkish president have been trying to fuel this crisis from time immemorial. Please ask yourself why Israel cant be defeated, man can't understand only God can explain that. As for those Palestinians, there are better ways of protesting, stop trying to get yourself killed and be crying after been killed. Stubborn children of Ishmael.

orunto27:
Hypocrite eh? Eating your Cake and having it, what is that? Fulani Herdsmen from Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Futa Jalon occuping Hausaland in Sokoto, Kanuriland in the NE, Yorubaland in Ilorin and still determined to mess up SE, SS, SW and CS with Rope yarning, goats, sheep and cow movements all over The Federation unlimited? What do you call all these? If not occupation in 2018, just because a stubborn Retired General, who wouldn't think along with others besides his Arab Cabals, is in charge, do we call it Corruption, Prostitution or just sleeping around the 36 States nonchallantly? Good for The Goose, Good for The Gander!!!

deltaisgreat:
put RUSSIA, CHINA AND OIC together, they will still be diffited. No one can fight the Almighty God who is protecting Israel.

KangaIye:
In this holy month of Ramadan they are calling for war SMH.

DoTheNeedful:
While I believe the Israeli forces were reckless with the Gaza causalities, no one is talking about Hamas. The primary believe of Hamas is that Israel must never exist and they are ready to do all it takes to wipe out Jews from the state of Israel. They don't believe in two-state solution unlike the PLO that are in control of the West Bank.

West Bank today is far more peaceful than Gaza because they have a more responsible leadership than the Hamas controlling Gaza. Hamas' hard-line position will never bring peace. It will only bring more suffering to the Palestinians.

As powerful as Israeli forces are, they don't feel safe with Hamas, that is the major reason for the blockade. Palestinians in Gaza should vote in a more responsible leadership.

The only way to achieve peace is for Hamas to recognize the Statehood of Israel and adopt two-state solution. I genuinely empathize with the Palestinians however, they need to be reasonable.

By the way, this statement by the Turkish president might work against Turkey's quest to integrate into the EU in the future.
