Some people stupidly believe that love conquers all, what they fail to release is that love can constrained or strangulated by many force along the journey. One of such forces is health challenges and discomfort it can bring and time and money it can consume.
Seeing fire ahead and deliberately running into it because you believe in miracles amount to resting God. Many Christians have shot themselves in the foot for this mentality and they have suffered.

folake4u:
Love is all about sacrifice and the sacrifice your brother has to pay is to let the girl go. His future children will not forgive him for bringing them to the world for them to suffer the sickle cell anemia. Talk to your parents and your brother not to bring religion into this, inasmuch faith in God to perform miracle is key, some experiences are really not the best teacher.

You're right.
Many churches don't permit or join such couples anymore unless the couple insist at their own risk.
You don't tempt God because He does miracles, if God doesn't perform a miracle in your case you can't sue Him to any court.
While there are cases of such marriage going to produce healthy children, the risk is too high and every Christian is not on the same level of faith nor grace mates.

The truth is that the military cannot fully fight terrorism without pockets of human right violations. Terrorist dont care about human rights or rules of engagement when they attack, they deserve no good treatment.

Human right violation is not peculiar to Nigeria military alone. The US military severally violated the rights of Iraqis, Afghans etc in their war against terrorism. Trump himself is an advocate of waterboarding as a means of torturing terrorist suspect. The west should stop pontificating over what they are guilty of.

This is true reality, without necessarily denying the military abuse in some cases the U.S. are hypocrites.
How has violated human rights around the world more than the U.S Army and C.I.A?

I heard Duke was offered the VP job but he rejected it.

Exactly.

Obierika:
Bloody liar!

Did he actually abandon you?

Women and lies...

Instead of you to tell us the truth - you tried to manipulate the guy with his son and he decided to jump ship now you're coming here to claim he abandoned his son!

Exactly my view too.
She's hungry for attention. If she was that attractive how she didn't get another man to take her in ever since?

MissRaine69:
That pose is for the baby daddy ...who I am sure downgraded when he left her. That’s what’s all this about to show off to the baby daddy who is crying himself to sleep each night

How did you come to the conclusion that he downgraded after leaving her? It's highly possible the other way round.
Many times women make this accusations to get sympathy from fellow unsuspecting and sentimental women.
She won't tell you how she hid and kept the child from his father just to frustrate him until the man got fed up and moved on with someone else.

xendra:
hmmm! my story want just be like your own .......Men!

What about men?
Do you know how many men have married ladies who had children but kept such secrets away from their men?
I childhood friend of mine even married a grandmother of 3. She only told him that she had a girl at younger age and the daughter was attending a polytechnic.
The poor guy only discovered fews later that she had 3 children and the only one she admitted to having was already married and have a child.
My friend was 42, never been married, no kids. He couldn't tell his family due to shame until in his sick bed. He never recovered, died at 47 childless in 2017 from a protracted illness.
So, shut up.

MissJoy29:
These are my opinions about feminism;
*Strive for fairness especially in the way women are treated in marriage. For instance, it's not set in stone that a woman should be the only one doing house chores. A man can help out too without his manliness reduced. On the other hand, a woman shouldn't take his helping for granted.

*Be independent to an extent as a lady. In the sense that you can have your own money and pay up your bills without having to depend on a man. Depending on a man has levels. It gets really irritating seeing mature ladies begging for everything from a guy. A man that wants to help can help but don't beg.

*There's nothing wrong in helping out a man financially. There's nothing wrong in buying gifts for a man. There's nothing wrong in pampering a man & surprising him once in a while. But use your head. "Using your head" could mean a lot of things & could also prevent a lot of things.

*Be strong and firm yet feminine. That's a woman's strongest weapon, her feminity. Be sweet and gentle and cute.
Stop with the bitching & the bad attitude. That you can foot your bills doesn't mean you give oit that air that you don't need a man. Your independence should attract men to you not repel them.

*Finally, never look down on any man. Never broke-shame a guy because you think he's not up to a level you want. You see, no one knows tomorrow.

These being said, I am a feminist. The real one not the ones moved by hungry, frustrated leeches.

You're very balanced thinker.
Some hard-core feminists aka men haters will not appreciate or accept you for this.

The only kids we called Agric fowl then were not not and skinny kids but big or fat kids that were not physically quick. They walk lazily, talk lazily and tire quickly.

what are the procedures to become a professional boxer

Go and ask Mr Ibu why he stopped boxing and went into acting.
You'll know if after one well-targeted uppercut lands on your chin and your legs is still holding you up.

themonk:
Here are a list of people who have knocked joshua down
1) Lawrence okolie in sparring.
2) 20 year old daniel dubois in sparring
3) 41 year old and rickety wladmir klitchko
4) at his first olympics, I don't know the name of the guy that knocked blood out of his nose.

Names of people who has rocked or knocked down parker: None.

Now compare the calibre of people who has knocked down or knocked out joshua with the calibre of people Joseph parker has fought or sparred with who couldn't even rock him talkless of knock him out.

Joseph parker has never been rocked or knocked down in sparring, New Zealanders have chin of steel.
I hope joshua wins sha, but I think it wouldn't be a knock out

Shame on you

Movingcoil:
When a university is termed federal, what does that mean actually especially in Nigeria?
I know federal government should be funding it but most of them make students pay excruciating fees even with the federal government subsidies.
I noticed the schools are packed with 70% of the indigenes where it is located student and staff wise.
What exactly made them federal schools?
Am asking with UNN as a case study.

The bolded is true federal universities in the Eastern, Western and Northern states. UNIBEN has always been an exception, you need to see UNIBEN and you 'll realise that it's the most truly Federalised University in Nigeria.
The only recent change is in its staffing and leadership where the Edo people had to protest against the dominance of staff positions by staffs from other states while limited number of its indigenes work in a school located in their state and so for decades.
Yoruba is basically the lingua franca in western states schools, Igbo is the case in eastern state schools. Uniben has everyone's language, English language in every imaginable variation and multiple Nig dialects.

CharleyBright:
Lol. You definitely watched wrestling in the early 80's.
You forgot Johnny Powers, Bulldog, Eric the Red, the Mungos, Steve Ken, Park Sung.
Lol.

And talk about Rick F!air, that dude was usually annoying and when you will expect him to lose, he will spring a surprise and win. He hardly loses.

By the way, that was when wrestling was real - IWF, NWA, WWW and WWF.
Not WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) that wrestliers act the scripts.
I stopped watching wrestling when it became WWE.

You did watch wrestling like me and the guy you quoted.

Let these lazy idle indomie children dey here dey hate.
I bet they don't know that Uzoho was one of 2 reserve keepers of the all Conquering Golden Eaglets of 2013 in UAE.
His moving his trade to the world cup in June where his talent is going to explode for the world to see.

No Pastor is gifted or anointed (specialize) in all areas of Christian ministry.
Oyakhilome making such claim is ignorant of him, Pastor or no Pastor.
He can't be authority in all spiritual matters.

Did your brother use your mom for rituals?
If not then you're probably high on cow dung

Mazeltovscotty:
it is too early to jump start a lovely day like this with.... - stooping so low to conversing with a simpleton of the highest genus. It's simply disparaging and an insult to the sensibility of economists in this forum. Notwithstanding, my point is.... I am not comparing America with Nigeria, I'm only trying to enlighten simple-minded people like you - that being indebted is not a negative economic pointer, neither is it positive; but we have so many advanced economies like America whose debt profile is as huge as their economy, yet yeilding fruitful economic returns. Like I said, only people who are well rooted in economic and financial activities will understand this.

They are too ignorant and illiterate to understand such levels of economics. That's why anybody can stir them up easily by such post without enlisting the projects and developmental purposes that these debt are meant for.
They'll attack and castigate you.

Also, if you are flying with little children, try to keep them quiet. Sometimes giving them cough syrup right before takeoff would help keep them to sleep until arrival. Nobody likes a crying child.

Child/drug abuse.

Bakynes24:
50% of the schools are located in Ogun state and 70% from the SW and 80% in Yoruba Land(Kwara inclusive) in General.

It's primarily because of Ogun state's proximity to Lagos and Ogun has large land area yet to utilised and it's generally a peaceful state.
What about a state like Edo that's not commercial state and far from Lagos yet, has 4 private unis, 2 State and one federal totally 7?

SAMBARRY:
IT is your type that will have good actors as children.good actors at HOME and wayward children in school.if someone like that man or you were my dad,I will have 2 whatsapp numbers,one for the general and the second for.you.the one that I Will be using to.communicate with you,I will.always be wearing iro and buba and then big bubu since you like hypocrisy and once I'm out of your home,come and tell me.nonsense

influenz:
I am an Igbo man. But I wont celebrate this.

Every nation usually have an ideology. This ideology is their driving force and it is what propels them as a nation for surmount all challenges that come their way.

While American political ideologies are variations on classical liberalism. As a result, these ideologies tend to be very similar: Almost everyone in the United States, for example, believes in limited government, the free market, and individual liberty, the British Empire was founded and maintained for purposes of trade and done so by private interest with the government providing support and encouragement where and when needed. The Swedish ruling party is Høyre. The party is committed to fiscal free market policies, including tax cuts and relatively little government involvement in the economy. It does, however, support the continued existence of the Norwegian welfare state.

But in our dear nation we have been talking about UNITY. Our ideology has been UNITY.

In Oct 2018, Nigeria will be 58 years. If this nation had been a butterfly, unfortunately we are still in eggs stage. We have not even hatched to the Larva stage.

It is true that these states produced the highest number of Medical Doctors. By the questions I will ask are

1. How many of them stay back to practice in NIgeria.
2. Most of these brilliant minds are subjected to be under so called graduates from educationally less developed states. Why?
3. After the hectic and arduous task of obtaining these degrees, what is the state of hospitals they will later work in?

My position is that we should not celebrate this. It is not an achievement because even the elites do not even appreciate the efforts of these students.

Why? You may ask. The case of our President and his son comes to mind. No Nigerian doctor is qualified to treat our elites. So why wasting our time? They wont fund our education.

WAY FORWARD

Let us all be involved. 2019 is by the way. Another avenue to exercise our franchise. How many youths on Nairaland have obtained their PVC?
And if you have obtained, are ready to vote?
Lets get our nation back.

Most of these our politicians have less than 20 years to live, but their actions can affect us for a century.

5 star salute to you Sir.

lool...African parents with marriage,,


profile picture to wait upon life partner...

God!!!what kinda mentality do some african parents possess
.

Be pretending to be westernized here, isn't the father tired keeping her at his continued cost after raising from birth through education or still funding her education.
It's a responsible father that desires his daughter to have a responsible family of her own not all these wayward mentality some of you carry around called "slaying".

IwillSucced:
I can't believe we still have kings even in Democracy

Sweden, Holland, Spain, Japan, England, Norway, Thailand, Indonesia etc all still have monarchs in Democracy talkless of a state in Nig.
How informed are you?

Everything about Edo state is always go extra

I attended my brother matriculation day at Uniben in 2011 come see how parents are celebrating it as if na Convocation they are doing Infact they are even cutting cake and some kings and chiefs are even present and each family rent a canopy with DJ, it just strange to me cos nobody knows what these students will face in the academic training of the University.

My younger brother just dey feel inferior cos we couldn't do same for him.

This Auchi poly own na pure madness!!

Omo leave people alone oh, maybe the jambite is the first in his family or village to gain Uni admission oh

IFNOTGOD:
shut up ogbeni,

PDP reduced ur debt profile during obasanjo's time, fuel was 100 dollars yet it was sold for 87 naira but now fuel is 45 dollars APC is selling at 145 n above

now fuel is rising to 60 dollars APC is talking of subsidy giving it anoda name as undercharge.

APC introduced all manner of charges stamp duty for every deposit above 1k at same time we pay withholding tax on interest from savings acct, increase in drivers licence even international passport don increase yet dey still come with different taxes

See as you shouting online like say i owe you money...
Don't go and develop high blood pressure oh.

They're misleading you indomie children again.
PDP enjoy Petrol sale ranging from $80-110/barel for most of those years and yet they still borrowed especially Obasanjo used the excess oil income to negotiate and pay off foreign debts. How did Jonathan ended up borrowing to pay salaries later and started borrowing again even after inheriting $40Bn external reserve?

Do you know the funny part of it all, most of this immigrants wouldn't do the kind of jobs they do in their home country

It's not the nature of the job but the pay that motivates people, when you convert one dollar to your local currency the worth of your hour is great to see.
Lots of jobs are more appreciated in certain climes that others.
How much does a dishwashing job pay in Lagos with the kind rickety restaurants you have around? Does Tatalizers, KFC employ people as dishwashers solely?
There are certain jobs that are not available where you are because of lack of entrepreneurship that boosts employment .
