Politics / Re: Is Nyesom Wike An APC Member Or A PDP Member? by Delonn(m): 4:26pm On Jan 24
Omobude244:

You are just an ignorant man




Stop saying nonsense with pride. How did Amaechi made Wike Local government chairman? When Amaechi was a house of assembly members, Wike was a local government chairman. Wike served two terms, as a local government chairman, while Amaechi was a member of the house, for two terms as well. After Wike recoverd Amaechi mandate, and Amaechi became a governor, Wike was his chief of staff during Amaechi first tenor. During Amaechi second tenor, Wike became, Education minister for State. Amaechi left PDP, and both men parted ways. When, where and how, did Amaechi helped Wike to become a governor?

Ameachi made Wike local govt chairman and also nominated him to represent the state as minister under GEJ administration.
It was when Ameachi started having issues with GEJ wife that Wike decided to pick the side of GEJ and his wife

How is it normal? Did you see any sitting governor used his project to campaign for Wike? Is it right for Sim to want to disarm Wike, after Wike made him a governor? Is Sim a politician? What does Sim needs a political structure for? It's a normal thing all sitting go will always have candidate. Oshipmole used his projects to campaign for Obaseki

adolfHitler1934:
There is something definitely wrong with Sim Card. How can a man be so weak that he stands in front of another man "knacking" his lovely wife and just watch and walk away. I use this analogy because it's only a man without balls can act this way. Even though he started this fight too early and didn't wait for Wike to manipulate the Supreme court as usual, he should have fought to the last and free himself from the hands of Wike who will NEVER allow such in his time..
There is excess money in Rivers State. Stone each of these assembly members with 2 Billion naira each in foreign currency and see them dump Wike over night. Get at least 12 to 15 members and you're done. That is how Nigeria politics works. Odili did it, Amaechi did it, Wike did it, unfortunately Omehia was naive in politics and allowed

So Wike made Amaechi, governor, and not the other way round. It's alright. You are advising a governor, to give each assembly members 2billion each, for a meaningless fight. Yet, you will turn around tomorrow to say, politicians are bad. Sim had no reason, for this useless fight he embarked on. Does Wike look like a joke to you? If I give you tools you fight for me, if you fight against me, I disarm you. This is Wike's principle.

Wike to outsmart him and paid Justices of the Supreme Court their dues which gave Amaechi the governorship position.
After God, Money is it.

PDP as a party won't accept.

What was the role of PDP in Fubara becoming a governor? Did you see PDP central body campaigned for Fubara? Only Wike and his foot soldiers made Fubara a governor. If I give you tools you fight for me, if you fight against me, I disarm you. This is the principle Wike is applying here.

And where did u read or hear that Sim detroyed the political structure?
Pls state it here!!

Wike is so overe bearing ..

What did sim do to deserve all these humiliation?
Ok we v heard that he was hand picked .
Was hecthe only crime he committed?
So he is the only handpicked governor in Nigeria!


Stop speculating, show the proof of where and when Wike slapped Sim. Sim is a very disloyal disciple. Those cheering him against his boss now, were never there, when Wike was doing all the work and taking the bullets alone. If Sim is not loyal to his boss, he can't be loyal to the masses, charity they say begins at home. Forget all these media gang up against Wike. Sim is an ungrateful person. Sim was never a politician and he is not a politician. He should leave politics for politicians and focus on governance.

How many other hand picked governor has been landed a slap as Wike had been doing to Sim?

Go away jhoor

You lie too much....Wike said" Sim should not discard those who worked tirelessly for him this early, Sim should not destroy rivers state pdp political structure" Don't forget, Wike built that structure to what it is today. Can you take what sim is doing now, if you were in Wike's shoes? This was a man who didn't say a word all through the campaign period, Wike did everything, now he is in, he want to act smart and be disloyal.

quote author=EngrKemp post=127429496]
Who is fighting who?

Wike was asked what wrong Gov Sim did for him to support his impeachment and he couldn't say one thing.
It's clear that Wike planned to remove Gov Sim from day one even before he became the governor.

Sim is not fighting Wike rather Wike is fighting sim unprovoked !![/quote]

Politics / Re: Rivers Crisis: Call Wike To Order, Clark Writes Tinubu by Delonn(m): 8:23am On Dec 12, 2023
The governor should be called to order instead, what sort of betrayal is this? What's the governor doing with a party political structure? Is the governor a politician? Wike delivered the governor without him, the governor having the party's political structure, so what does he needs the party's political structure for, now that he is a governor? If I give you tools you fight for me, if you fight against me, I disarm you. The governor is acting very irritating. He just wants to make fool of Wike, and this is totally bad. By the way, what's wrong if the governor is loyal to Wike? Those wishing Wike bad, have been doing this for years, but the man is still excelling. It's just a total waste of time to keep wishing him bad, it seems that makes him excel the more. People should stop encouraging ungrateful people like Sim, just because you don't like Wike.

Stop giving false information.....Those law makers, who were against Obaseki, were never inaugurated..........When the house was proclaimed, they didn't appear for swearing in, that was why they were denied access to the law chamber........It's jus like a case of a student who read law, without going to law school. You can't ever practice law.




TruthsFM:
nope you are very wrong. Go and read the news about the factional speaker during the first term of obaseki government then. Obaseki pro lawmakers formed a quorum and dealt with Oshimole pro lawmakers well. To the extent that their salaries wasnā€™t paid for 3 years. You donā€™t understand Niger delta politics

1 not upsetting your wife aka accepting that your wife's sister and wife would happy that you didnt throw out too

2 dealing it like man, you were supposed to consulated before moving in and understand abit of why she left

3 not getting involved, your in-laws are the ones supposed to take her in while they get to know the issue and finding the solution, its not your issue is supposed to go to her parents or other elder relatives

You obviously, don't know the meaning of demise. (The wife twine sister is a widow) I hope you know what that means.

You know nothing about politics. It's crystal clear, if Wike had won that primary, the likes of Tambuwa, Ayu and Atiku would have moved back to APC or NNPP immediately. Do you think Atiku and co, would have support Wike, if he had won? It's obvious, Atiku is a spoiler. You can't beat a child and ask him not to cry. ACP government is today very bad, but they are more sincere, in their internal democracy. That's integrity.

Family / Re: Three Experiences That Make Me Think I'm Married To The Wrong Person by Delonn(m): 1:47pm On Jan 22, 2021
DEmejioba1:
I got married in 2018,since then I have been battling with some unimaginable experiences with my wife even when I thought I married to a religious lady.

To cut the story short,

Prior to our marriage, things was not so good enough for me but because of age consideration of both of us we decided to wed with the help of our families.
If you have dignity, you ought to have pay her the dowry money first, before you thinking of the money you borrowed from her to complete the house rent. The 40k you borrowed from her have been paid, but you have refused to pay the most important 50k.(Dowry money) If you don't want to pay her the 50k dowry, simply tell her, so that she knows she is not your wife. You have a very low self-esteem, that is why you are thinking the way you do. You are full of self pity. Stop this your emotional blackmail You just suddenly realized that 150k could secure a plot of land in your neighborhood. Forest guard, well done.
The first thing that happened which caught me thinking afterward was that during our make up to wedding,my wife insisted that she's receiving 50k dowry which she knew I wouldn't be able to get it just shortly before the wedding. I told her that there is no way I could afford it then that she should reduce it may be to 20k, she said I should not worry that things will be sorted out. A day to the wedding she told me that when it's segment for dowry collection that she would pronounce that she had collected it. I said no problem. Since then I have not been able to pay it because she wants full cash. Now, any slide misunderstanding she refers to it.

Secondly, immediately after the marriage,I was left with 60k which I thought we would manage to get a room and a parlour apartment for a start, just to do according to my pocket in my present rent house. But my wife insisted that we should let 2 bedroom flat at 100k but knowing fully that my source of income would not maintain it couple with other obligations that I would be discharging. She said, she would lend me 40k.
Thank God I was able to pay her the money. But still thinking over wasteful of almost 50k,while 150k can secure a land for bulding house in my area.

Thirdly, few months after our marriage. We were having misunderstanding and I carelessly said if the marriage can not work it better we go our separate ways, my wife holds on this statement and continue saying that she just need me to say it twice more and the marriage is over.

But I used to think over all these with other ones that I cant write, then, I ask myself if truly she loves me or may be am with wrong person.

What is your thought about this?

Romance / Re: What I Found On My Sales Girl's Facebook Messages by Delonn(m): 5:13am On Jun 07, 2020
OritaIbadan:
I employed this 21years old lady last year as a sales rep. At resumption to work she appeard so decent and godly always With her Bible and Sunday school manual. I was really impressed by her spiritual and respectful nature. This made me treat her different from others. I buy her things and sometimes gives her money and always discuss her good life style with my wife. But what amazed me was that my wife was so indifferent about her each time I discuss her my wife will quickly change the topic. I thought, well woman with their naughty behavior towards other women.

Fast forward to June first this year her phone was stolen and I have a phone in office that I allow them access to incase their phone is off I can easily reach them through it. This faithful day, I tried to access my Facebook account using the office phone and found out that this same lady had used it but forget to logout. Well, I knew it was wrong to check her inbox but all the same I did.


Why are you so co concerned about her personal life? What is your business with how many men she sleeps with unprotected? And why do you feel she is trying to hang pregnancy on a boy? Arr you the one who impregnate her? Is she trying to give your pregnancy to another man? You better mind your business, before you get yourself into a matrimonial troubles.

After checking her inbox I couldn't sleep all night. I found out that she is having unprotected sex with 5 guys each guy per Sunday and she just did an abortion March this year the very day she told me that she was sick and can't make it to work and she wasn't sure who among the guys that impregnated her. I also found out that she had missed her period again and trying to hang it on one of the boys. The amazing thing is that non of these guys suspects her, they all believe she is a faithful girl friend.

I have thought of relieving her of her job, but my wife is asking me what should I give as reasons. But the truth is that I had never winessed such a wayward life before. If I pretend as though I know nothing she will eventually commit another abortion and continue with such life which is very dangerous at her age. What if she is my own daughter?

Please I want the mode to push this to the front page. I want to seek others opnion about it

In fact you are a very stupid boy trying to blame your mom for anything. To hell with you and your stupid marriage. Be writing English here, don't go and tell your wife to apologize to your mom. You are talking like a gold digger. Are you sure you have a job? Are you sure you contributed to the wedding or only your wife paid for everything? If I were close to you I would have given you a very hard knock on your stupid head so your brain could work proper again.
E685:
My wife and I have been together for 8 years now, married for 5. I am 33 and she is 30. We now have our first child, a son who is just turning 1. He is everything to both of us. Before our son, our relationship was strong, although to be honest Iā€™ve always been frustrated with my wifeā€™s way of handling issues. Iā€™m the kind of person who is very hard to get angry, I hear people out, and I talk out my issues. I listen to all sides and I think logically before emotionally. I seek therapy when Iā€™m stuck. My wife is the opposite. She reacts with emotions first. She is very quick to be offended by anything. She will shut down and refuse to communicate until she has had time to process. I do all of the work resolving issues we have. I sometimes wonder if I ever stop taking the high road and work through our issues, if anything would ever resolve itself. So that being said, conflict management aside, we are happy. We are passionate, have similar interests, and make each other laugh.

Then thereā€™s my mother. Where to begin. My mother, while seen as incredibly loving and generous to many people, is also a person who has been shut out of so many relationships in her life that I really just feel bad. My father and her are divorced. She has a genuine phobia of being left out - of gatherings, of relationships, of family. She is extremely smart and knows how to manipulate people into doing what she wants. She also widely seen as a ā€œdifficultā€ person. She is difficult in that she finds great offense to issues many people would not notice or care about. If she feels wronged, she will overwhelm the person who wronged her with incessant questions trying to make them feel her side until they cave in. In her closest relationships, her absolute need for the show of love and inclusion and validation cause the very people she is trying to reel closer in to push her away, a self fulfilling prophecy. My Mom, while I love her, is her own worst enemy.

Needless to say, these two, my wife and my mother, clash. At first they liked each other. The very first issue involved our wedding planning. My wife had a very clear plan for the guest list, and my mom asked for a number of her friends to be included on the list. My wife did not want that, got immediately upset and the situation blew out of control. My mom called me nonstop asking why my wife could be so cold, unwilling to see her side, or give in even an inch. My wife felt my Mom was making the wedding all about her, and could not believe she was called cold. She was ā€œdoneā€. My mom wasnā€™t paying for a cent of the wedding either so this was another offense. In the end I brokered a compromise, much to the dismay of both women. Each held the grudge for a long time.

Occasionally my mother would do something that my wife disliked, and my wife would be pissed at me for not standing up for her. Admittedly I had never stood up to my mother, I always took the time to listen to her side and find reason behind her otherwise inflammatory ways. My wife and mother had a falling out right before the wedding, and forced me to choose sides. I struggled as I found both of them to be at fault. I chose my wife and my mother hated it. Ever since, basically anything that my mother says or does, whether good or not, offends my wife. Even the most genuine attempts by my mother to reach out to my wife are smacked down. My wife has never made any effort to release the past resentment. Over the years my mother has attempted to take the high road, only to be barely acknowledged by my wife. I have always pleaded with my wife to at least pretend to like my mother. She did a bad job of pretending because my mother would always call me and ask why my wife appears to never care or never let go of past feelings. So both saw through each other, my mother would continue to act happy and loving, while my wife never would.

Anyway now our son came into the picture. He is amazing and being the first grandchild on both sides, the grandparents want to be around him every chance they can get. My mother visit every weekend. I told my wife we have to let her do this. My wife dreaded this. I told my mother that one of the weekends, we wanted her to visit on a Sunday (staying over till Monday morning) instead of a Saturday because we had plans that Saturday. In actuality the day was a birthday celebration for my father in law, being held at her parents house. She just didnā€™t want my mother involved in everything so she put her foot down. My mother wouldnā€™t take no for an answer and pulled it out of me what we were doing that day. Well she took great offense to the fact that she was not automatically invited, and couldnā€™t believe how cold, unChristian, and I loving my wife and her family were.

This stuff affects me greatly so of course I share with my wife, and she exclaims she is done with my mother. No longer wants to be nice or pretend, she is tired of how much my mother always wants it all to be her way and then throws out insulting and hurtful words about my wife to get her way. I get messages from my moms friends telling me how I need to see things my moms way, they would never exclude their mother this way, and that my wife is causing all of this.

And so here we are. I saw my mother the next day, and my wife removed herself from the situation by staying out for the day. It was incredibly uncomfortable. I told my mother how mad I was at her for always being so difficult and never just letting it go. I told her my real feelings about how I wished she could stop needing such inclusion and love. Her response was that she is justified in wanting to be included in everything, and that my wife has never shown her any love or effort and it was obvious, so what could she possibly do? I told her my wife is willing to work on this, perhaps in professional therapy. But in reality my wife wants no part of that and has no desire to mend anything anymore. I think she resents me for trying to mend things.

So what do I do? Iā€™m frustrated with my mom for being difficult, always needing more and never letting things go, and saying inflammatory things when she doesnā€™t get her way. But I see that all sheā€™s ever wanted was peace and love, and my wife never gave her that. Iā€™m frustrated with my wife for getting so easily offended at everything my mother says or does, and I wish she could make any effort to see the other side and let go of such a grudge. My mother is definitely strong willed and manipulative but I think there is love there if only we could work through it. My wife is extremely assertive and refuses to let anyone wrong her twice. Both think the other has always been dead wrong, the entirety of the blame, and will never change. My wife is ok never seeing my mother again, yet my mother says she wants to let bygones be bygones and attempt to work through it.

What should I do? Forever stuck in the middle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Does your wife treats her mom the way she treats your mom? From your write up the answer is certainly no. My friend stop being so emotional here. Don't make the mistake of standing up to your mom because of a woman who is a stranger. Thank God you two have a son now, after going through all the pains to raise her child, then one woman from know where will come separate her from.her son, in the name of nonsense marriage.
Women are many out there that one can take for a wife, but you can only have one biological mother in a life time. You are suppose to show your mom the love your dad didn't show or not showing her, but you are there romancing issues. Tell you wife to shut the hell up.

My mom called me nonstop asking why my wife could be so cold, unwilling to see her side, or give in even an inch. My wife felt my Mom was making the wedding all about her, and could not believe she was called cold. She was ā€œdoneā€. My mom wasnā€™t paying for a cent of the wedding either so this was another offense. In the end I brokered a compromise, much to the dismay of both women. Each held the grudge for a long time.

Occasionally my mother would do something that my wife disliked, and my wife would be pissed at me for not standing up for her. Admittedly I had never stood up to my mother, I always took the time to listen to her side and find reason behind her otherwise inflammatory ways. My wife and mother had a falling out right before the wedding, and forced me to choose sides. I struggled as I found both of them to be at fault. I chose my wife and my mother hated it. Ever since, basically anything that my mother says or does, whether good or not, offends my wife. Even the most genuine attempts by my mother to reach out to my wife are smacked down. My wife has never made any effort to release the past resentment. Over the years my mother has attempted to take the high road, only to be barely acknowledged by my wife. I have always pleaded with my wife to at least pretend to like my mother. She did a bad job of pretending because my mother would always call me and ask why my wife appears to never care or never let go of past feelings. So both saw through each other, my mother would continue to act happy and loving, while my wife never would.

Anyway now our son came into the picture. He is amazing and being the first grandchild on both sides, the grandparents want to be around him every chance they can get. My mother visit every weekend. I told my wife we have to let her do this. My wife dreaded this. I told my mother that one of the weekends, we wanted her to visit on a Sunday (staying over till Monday morning) instead of a Saturday because we had plans that Saturday. In actuality the day was a birthday celebration for my father in law, being held at her parents house. She just didnā€™t want my mother involved in everything so she put her foot down. My mother wouldnā€™t take no for an answer and pulled it out of me what we were doing that day. Well she took great offense to the fact that she was not automatically invited, and couldnā€™t believe how cold, unChristian, and I loving my wife and her family were.

This stuff affects me greatly so of course I share with my wife, and she exclaims she is done with my mother. No longer wants to be nice or pretend, she is tired of how much my mother always wants it all to be her way and then throws out insulting and hurtful words about my wife to get her way. I get messages from my moms friends telling me how I need to see things my moms way, they would never exclude their mother this way, and that my wife is causing all of this.

And so here we are. I saw my mother the next day, and my wife removed herself from the situation by staying out for the day. It was incredibly uncomfortable. I told my mother how mad I was at her for always being so difficult and never just letting it go. I told her my real feelings about how I wished she could stop needing such inclusion and love. Her response was that she is justified in wanting to be included in everything, and that my wife has never shown her any love or effort and it was obvious, so what could she possibly do? I told her my wife is willing to work on this, perhaps in professional therapy. But in reality my wife wants no part of that and has no desire to mend anything anymore. I think she resents me for trying to mend things.

So what do I do? Iā€™m frustrated with my mom for being difficult, always needing more and never letting things go, and saying inflammatory things when she doesnā€™t get her way. But I see that all sheā€™s ever wanted was peace and love, and my wife never gave her that. Iā€™m frustrated with my wife for getting so easily offended at everything my mother says or does, and I wish she could make any effort to see the other side and let go of such a grudge. My mother is definitely strong willed and manipulative but I think there is love there if only we could work through it. My wife is extremely assertive and refuses to let anyone wrong her twice. Both think the other has always been dead wrong, the entirety of the blame, and will never change. My wife is ok never seeing my mother again, yet my mother says she wants to let bygones be bygones and attempt to work through it.

What should I do? Forever stuck in the middle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.





Career / Re: How I Was Wrongly Accused Of Rape And Got Sacked by Delonn(m): 9:46am On Jan 18, 2020
ambassadorgozie:
6th of January 2020 is the day I wonā€™t forget. I work as a personal assistant/secretary to my boss who happens to be a former politician.

My boss came to work with her housemaid for her to help in sweeping, cleaning and tidying up the office being the resumption day. She instructed us on how to go about it before she stepped out from the office promising to come back in the afternoon.

We started the work immediately until afternoon time when I decided to rest and eat. While eating I beckoned the grown up housemaid to come and eat or at least rest before she continues the cleaning but she declined. After like an hour, I told her to rest small, she declined yet again. This prompted me to go close to her in order to convince her to eat something or rest.


Why trying to convince her to eat and rest? You said she is a grown woman. You want to use your village wooing code on her. You placed your hand over her shoulder as what? As her father, husband or boyfriend? No girl will react that way if you have not been trying to play dirty games with her. Is not as if you guys had issues or live in the same house. Man tell yourself the truth and stop this nonsense.
My worst mistake and nightmare was attempting to put my hand on her shoulder in my stupid bid to convince her. Immediately my hand touched her shoulder she started shouting continuously that I want to rape her, that she will deal with me; in fact that I will get sacked. At first I told her my intention, but she wouldnā€™t hear me, I then resorted to pleading, I even knelt down begging her that it wasnā€™t my intention to rape or grab her. She couldnā€™t stand my talks and pleading, she called the boss immediately telling her that I want to rape her. We narrated everything to the boss, (a lawyer), when she returned. After hearing from us she said she has stayed with her maid for couple of years, thus she trust her, and it may be true that I wanted to rape her or lure her for sex. She couldnā€™t see my explanation, pleadings and even crying. She said she has two options; either to call police for me or to sack me. Thatā€™s how she later sacked me that day.

I have been devastated and depressed since that day, not because of the sack but the allegation and accusation that was not even on my mind. The worst is that as an introvert I have no one to talk to, I am damn down.

Notes: 1. I have no intention of raping, grabbing or having sex with her
2. I will not be so stupid to rape or have sex with the housemaid in the office knowing that the boss will come at any time
3. I have not raped anyone or plan to do so in the future because I know is morally and legally wrong.
