jude d writer: u r 100% correct. Marriagi is nt everytin. Many r married today n live in reget. A good relationship wit God is more beneficial dan any marriage.
I hope you know that a good relationship with God includes not sleeping with or lusting after men.

For your own good you'd better stop thinking marriage is a do or die affair. Get your priorities straight and do something to leave your footprints in the sands of time, be a notable person like genevieve or chimamanda. These women achieved greatness without marriage. You can do the same. One love
Who ever told you that women who seek marriage have not achieved something? Nobody is talking of achievement here, we are talking of marriage please in spite of your achievement. You missed the point because no woman has said that not being married has prevented her from achieving greatness. Whether you want to agree or not, every woman (except lesbians) desires to get married to a man. That is a fact and you shut ur eyes and ears to it!
Women stop deluding yourselves that men are scarce. Men are available only if you will cleanse yourselves from the craze for money and comfort. These two things will come when you plan together, forget wedding jamboree. You can have a parlour ceremony, it is still a wedding ceremony...a 100K wedding and #5mil + wedding is still same Mr & Mrs. Ladies, help yourselves, stop the competition, don't look down on any man, never judge the book by the cover and stop "forming".

......but Genevieve is not on the same page with you, check the internet. Every woman has that "thing" deposited in her by God to desire marriage. Yes, it is not a do or die affair but the desire lingers secretly! The truth is that majority of women are not down-to-earth. They have refused to get married without making noise and wasting money. Men certainly have betters things to do with money than waste it on marriage ceremonies. Ladies change your mind set and see the men change too!
Girls are not serious. They only seek readymade men, rich background, they hate cooking, only few are ready to build together with the man; how many girls would want a low key 20 member native law and custom/registry ceremony? Come to think of it, men are NOT interested in all the wedding jamboree women crave for....it is a big put off for them so they play with you and run away when the chips are down, never in a hurry. Ladies, be simple and down-to-earth. Remember, no man wants to depend on a woman; their ego is often bruised.
obailala: Nigeria's problem is more complex than a simple SNC... Any attempt at a national conference will certainly end up in a brawl and the delegates will simply scoop enough allowances b4 going back to continue their usual lives.
When different people gather together to live as one in a given space and they fight all the time, is it not wisdom to sit and figure out a better way of co-existing in peace? Who would reject that idea because some people would benefit financially from it?....whao, BAD THINKING. Certainly the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Orikinla: Yes. The topic should be the "Awkward Truth About Nigerian Wives".
You read only the replies, read from the beginning. The men claimed they told their wives "I love you" but the wives' replies proved them wrong. A wife who is used to the husband saying "I love you" to her would never give any of those replies!.....AWKWARD TRUTH ABOUT NIGERIAN HUSBANDS is so right.
EXPRESSWAYS DO NOT HAVE BUS STOPS, SHOPS, PARKS NOT EVEN PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES!. EXPRESSWAYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FENCED OUT FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END WITH INLETS AND OUTLETS. EXPRESSWAYS ARE FOR VEHICLES ONLY. THERE IS NO EXPRESSWAY IN LAGOS!!!!!!
DeLaRue: “The Acting High Commissioner wrote the immigration requesting to meet with him on the issue Monday but all to no avail, we haven’t got from them officially. We learnt, though unofficially, that the authorities made a similar arrest of China citizens last week but we don’t have details. We won’t relent in defending the interest our people here. We have to continue with the struggle”. “We counted 27 Nigerians in detention that Saturday and most of them are from Imo and Edo, Delta and Rivers States, nobody from South West and Northern states”, he added.
ASSUMING THIS REPORT IS CREDIBLE, then ...not much surprise there.
Why is it whenever the locals are fed up with Nigerians and ask them to leave, they always go on about being disturbed from running their 'business.'
Everything boils down to 'business' 'business' 'business.' Claiming a right to being left alone to do business in another man's land without reciprocating by abiding by their laws, and most importantly hating on your hosts is never going to get you anywhere.
First China; Then South Africa; And Kenya; Then Lagos; Now, Botswana.
Seriously, you guys have to check yourself, and see what you are doing wrong. You will find Japanese doing business in most countries, but you never hear them making trouble or claiming a God-given right to 'do business' on their own terms.
This is as a result of the aftermath of Oneal's hate for West Africa, Nigeria in particular, and his eviction 2 weeks ago. Check the comments on Big Brother pages and you will know Botswana truly carried out their threat of sending Nigerians out of their country.
billante: Joe Igbokwe you are very stupid for written this loads of garbage! whatever power Patience Jonathan is displaying now no former first lady has not done same,
Jonathan and his wife are the most tolerant president and first lady nigeria has ever had.....if half of insults, accusation,lies that has been bombarded on the first family is heaped on tinubu and remi his wife if they were the president and first lady of this country,believe me most of folks will either be rotting in jail or messed up including you joe igbokwe.
Any good unbiased nigerian will agree Jonathan and his wife are the most tolerant and coolest first family nigeria has ever had.
Nobody could have insult obanasanjo and stella or abacha and his wife on a regular basis the way they have belittled Jonathan and his wife.
Thank you God and please make this healing permanent IJN Amen. Ngozi may the joy of the Lord continually be your strength. Gov Fashola may God reward your kind gesture and keep you healthy too.
The traditions of man have become a stumbling block for majority of Christians. They have been deceived to think that observing these traditions guarantees them righteousness. All things work 2gether for good though. God Himself will soon throw light into their darkness to set the captives of these traditions free.
Gasout: Nigerians should be sensitive abt the issue of BOKOHARAM. Looking at dis issue meticulously n critically, let us ask ourself dis questions; do u think moslems will kill thier fellow moslems?, do u think northerners will kill themselves?, n do u also think a Nigeria can commit sucide bombing?e.t.c D people call BOKOHARAM are nt Nigerians. 'FG' pls check our neighboring countries who want to basterdise d glory n peace of Nigerian. I rest my case...
Nigerians access the internet but are too lazy to dig deep to find out how involved northern muslims are in this jihad thing in 9ja and all over the world. Highly educated men among them are involved. No doubt there are some foreigners too. Yes they are moslems killing moslems; any muslim who flouts whatever it is the jihadists believe is the sunnah is considered an unbeliever too and should be killed. Is it xtians killing muslims in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, etc? Looks like they kill the "enemies" within them first. Buhari used to be my preferred candidate until I discovered his links with Boko Haram through one Engr Rabiu Suleiman Daura. Most communication in Arabic or Hausa. They are aiming at stamping out Democracy and the use of Constitution.
Are you aware Kano is the second largest state in terms of commercial activity within Nigeria and the second most populous state in the country ? (check wiki)
Do you know Kano & Lagos are competing in terms of population?
Are you aware people troop in to that city like pure water for trade, business and investment?
Are you aware we have a standard football pitch in Kano state where footballers all over the world troop in until recently (crisis and all) ?
Are you aware Kano state governor is sending his people in hundreds on a daily basis for scholarships right from that Kano airport to any country you can think of in the world?
Do you know foreign investments and investors are all over the city?
Hope you know people who troop in to Kano just to order cars are more than those going to Lagos and Cotonou put together? Everything in Kano is relatively cheap!
Hope you know Kano state is the "Centre of Commerce"
Are you aware there are over 70 Hotels in the city- Kano? (not state).
I don tire for my west, south people o...
My dear, don't limit yourself to nairaland cos if you do, you'll not know anything aside Fashola, and maybe Amaechi and ACN..
Even if you can't travel to places, spread your horizon!!
This info is so not current. Reporting the past not the present. Since 2001, Kano has never been the same again. Update your info please.
Hear this: seen a few houses in different posh areas in Lagos strangely without fences and guess what, neighbours confirmed how robbers severally avoided those houses. These are posh houses! The reason is that robbers fear to invade such houses because neighbours would easily know they are around and report or even shoot at them. It is easier to rob fenced houses because robbers are in control the moment they enter.
moscobabs: Saudi Arabia is the most peaceful in the World....hunnnmmmn Xtianity is not there!!!
Then let them go their separate ways and be like Saudi Arabia.....living in peace. They certainly cannot co-exist with non-muslims. They are too demanding and definitely don't like "good" freedom; prison lifestyle is most preferred.
Before these muslims become corpers, they pass through universities where male and female attend lectures together, BUK, ABU, etc. Why the sudden change of mind for corpers? These people are just confusionists running out of reasons to kill themselves. Slowly and unconsciously they are running mad. Their desires do not seem to make sense anymore. I am watching, they will get there where they will finally shoot themselves on the leg.
Abagworo: The write up makes me like him more. All those that looted and are still looting Nigeria dry should return the loots or be executed for good. Nigeria needs iron hand.
...iron hand + Buhari's Boko Haram soldiers already fighting to have Buhari govern Nigeria without a constitution and end democracy according to the will of allah! Check the internet and you will see how far Buhari has gone with his henchmen; all info written in Arabic and hausa. I do not fear because I know that the God I worship will not give them that chance. @Abagworo, you will fall where Buhari falls. Goodluck
The chap only said "Na u sabi, enjoy your day" to which you replied with the above? You just described your day and who you are! Wish you God's deliverance and peace.
The wife has just played the f0ol; she will hit back at a much later date and husband and aide will not even suspect they have been hit by her! That's a woman for you, always dubbed the weaker sex but unarguably stronger than the men would readily admit! Only the strong play the f00l
In Nigeria only video or audio evidence could be relied on 100%
Unfortunately some people have been marked NEVER to accept the truth. They have eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear, mind but cannot understand. To such people, video or audio evidence becomes utterly useless and therefore unnecessary!
GenBuhari: I have seen many video interviews of Buhari but never seen him defend BH, only stories written by corrupt cheque book journalists falsely attribute such sayings to him
It is always good to do some investigation on someone b4 attacking or defending them. I have taken time to investigate this man Buhari, He is a boko haram man at the top PERIOD
[size=20pt]Buhari crushed religious sects like BH when he ruled Nigeria[/size]
[size=18pt]2nd March 1984 – ITN NEWS GENERAL BUHARI VISITS YOLA AFTER QUENCHING RELIGIOUS RIOTING THAT LEFT DOZENS DEAD.[/size] Nigeria's military ruler, Major-General Mohamed Buhari, visited the northeastern Nigerian city of Yola - in Gongola state - February 29 to assess the extent of damage caused by violent communal rioting two days earlier.
The known death toll from the religious disturbances is nearly 140, with at least another 60 persons injured, some critically. Gongola's acting state governor, Colonel Cyril Iweze, blamed the turmoil on fanatical followers of Moslem fundamentalist Muhammadu Marwa Maitatsine's religious sect. Marwa himself was killed in vicious rioting three years ago, when an estimated 4,000 people died.
In disturbances on February 27, the army was eventually called in to quell resistance from thousands of religious fanatics, at least 715 of whom were arrested by security forces.
General Buhari visited the Yola Specialist Hospital during his one-day tour of the gutted city, and also met with the Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Mustapha Aliyu, to discuss the situation.
[size=18pt]29th April 1985 - The NY Times General Buhari Imposes Curfew To End Religious Riots[/size]
. .BAUCHI, Nigeria, April 28— A dusk-to-dawn curfew has been imposed on the northern Nigerian town of Gombe, where more than 100 people have died in religious riots, an official statement said today.
Officials said the deaths occurred in two days of fighting between the police and members of the banned fundamentalist Maitatsine Islamic sect.
The Bauchi state government said that anyone violating the curfew ''will be regarded as a fanatic and will be shot on sight.''
The statement said the situation in Gombe was under control and most members of the sect were fleeing the town. A total of 146 suspected members of the sect had been arrested, it added.
Shooting broke out at dawn on Friday when the police tried to arrest Yusufu Adamu, the sect's leader in Gombe. Officials said nothing had been heard of him since, and it was unclear whether he was among those killed.
The initial police action cleared the sect out of its stronghold, but Nigerian television said many more lives were lost that night when the sect killed local people they had taken hostage.
