Travel / Re: What Else Can A Man Do To Please A Woman. (UK EXPERIENCE) by DesireV: 11:57am On Mar 15, 2023
Insultme:


This is not a case of Nigerian men's alone, it takes 2 to tango. The guy also is married but the wife didn't come in with her. I heard she has a business in Nigeria she doesn't want to leave.


It is the promiscuous woman we should blame. Cause if she is not disrespectful, she won't be giving another man attention to the extent of flirting with him.
You're actually smart and I want to believe you brought the matter here just to share it and make it light on your chest, not for advice or what to do or at best to have better insights from plenty replies.

You're the only one who can decide what to do based on what you can tolerate or what you know about the matter that's beyond the scope of the write up.

Sit back, weigh your options and take the best decision. Meanwhile, get clear evidences before approaching her, especially if your conclusion is to let her go.

Meanwhile, if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't have brought her to UK without a clear agreement on what her contributions to family upkeep would be when she starts working. One person, especially a student, can not fund a family in the UK without breaking down. Even skilled couples pool resources so that both parties can return home with reasonable savings. Except you're there to be her slave. Trying to fix this at this stage might appear to her like you're being envious of her earnings.
Secondly, I can NEVER settle with a cheating partner. No matter who she is or how good she has been or what's at stake, cheating is one of my red lines, cross it and that's all. I won't cheat and will never tolerate it. Like, the mental picture of my wife being ridden by another man is not something I can cope with. This is just me anyways.

So, weigh your options and do what will give you the maximum mental well being.

Since you want me to engage you, let me oblige you a little bit.

Of the 8 states you are asking where Obi got the remainder of his 25%, Obi got 25% in all Southwest states. I think INEC only recorded 25% for him in Lagos and Ondo.

But he got 25% in Ogun, Osun, Oyo and Ekiti.

Again he got 25% in Kwara, Bauchi, Kogi and Gombe.

We have not spoken about the fact that won Lagos by a higher margin.

He won Rivers.

He won Bayelsa.

He won Akwa Ibom.

He also won Delta by a higher margin.

He won Plateau by a higher margin.

See, I know why I said I didn’t want to engage you.

Because if Peter Obi was not the force you people are denying, then your drug lord wouldn’t have needed to recruit Wike to write results for him in Rivers or to pay INEC to switch off their server to give room for manipulations.

Now, despite the manipulations, look at what was obtained from IREV after INEC declared APC as winner of Obio-Akpor LGA in Rivers.

In sane society, nobody will be defending the sham INEC organized. But this is Nigeria.😏
I hope a random tweet isn't what LP will present to the judges as evidences.

What I simply asked for was spread, not winning margins. Infact, let's assume Obi had 2m votes in each of the 11 SE & SS states. Let's further assume he had 2m each in Lagos, Nasarawa, Plateau,Kogi, Benue, Taraba, & FCT while the other candidates had zero in all of these 18 states. He still needs 25% in 6 more states to satisfy spread requirement. Let's assume SW's liberality even gave him all of the Votes in Ekiti and Ondo, those are the 2 SW States with highest Christian population. Still 4 to go cheesy

To think Obi can have 50k people (if only 200k people voted) to vote for him in each of Osun, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara, Niger, Bauchi, Gombe is nothing but delusion of the highest order. I'm glad we both agreed on the 7 NW states. cheesy

Get this imprinted somewhere in your heart, nobody can ride ethnic/religious train to Aso rock. Those who drafted the constitution were smarter.
This exactly was what the smarter candidates knew that made them go into negotiations in all zones.
Wike working for APC is part of the negotiations. He wasn't asked to rig. Remember same Wike was your favourite when he was romancing Obi.

The analysis above is just the best case scenario for Obi. He can't have 25% in Ekiti and Ondo. Was just trying to see if we would reach 24 states.

He would definitely be required to prove that he had 25% in 24 states before his prayer of being declared can be granted. That's after he must have proven that the declared winner and the first runner up had lesser lawful votes than him.

Why should I take the pain of supplying you with this information when you are not a judge🤔?

We will supply these things you are asking to the judges.

Thank you!
That's great. I just hope you won't rubbish the judiciary if the outcome isn't favourable.

Buhari lived in his own mind severally, thinking his northern/muslim votes actually won him the seat till he came to term with reality.

Of the 19 northern states, Obi's ethnic/religious based campaign can only sell in Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba, Adamawa. Then FCT.
Benue has a Rev father as APC's gov candidate, his Christian followers would logically listen to him more.

With the heavy religious tone his campaign had, how exactly can Obi have 25% (125k) of average of 500k votes in each of the 7 states of the NW that's almost 95% Muslims or 4 of such states in the NE.
Don't let's even reckon with Niger, Kwara and Kogi.

Nobody can wear a toga of ethnicity or religion to the presidency, not even someone from a zone with the lowest voting strength or a religion that's not the majority. If such mantra can work, Buhari from NW (with the highest voting strength) and a muslim (with higher number) would have won with CPC.
I hope the damage his pattern of campaign will do to his tribe and religion be minimal.

Go back to history and find out how many times Nigeria have been governed by Xtian-Xtian. May God forgive you all
How Christians blatantly dragged religion into pure politics is what I'm yet to understand till tomorrow. These politicians have no religious motives, they simply want to win elections. Osun State has more muslims than christians, yet Oyinlola and his deputy were Christians and governed for almost 8years. Despite the brazen manner with which he funded churches with public funds, muslims never allege a Christianization agenda. Oyinlola heavily funded the Cathedral Church of All Saint while the State Capital's Central mosque was an eye sore. Everywhere was calm. Aregbesola, despite having a Christian deputy was alleged to have an islamization agenda in barely 2 years of his administration. He wasn't funding Islamic projects. Christians mobilised against his reelection in 2014 but failed because they gave a religious tone to the campaign and since muslims were more, Aregbe won.
Today, the governor of Osun and his deputy are Christians. No complaints. Infact, the governor's hometown is an ancient muslim town.
I seriously don't know why Christians won't let politics be purely politics.

If they continue to make national politics religious based, like they have done this year, I'm afraid Christians might not smell Aso rock again

For those who don’t understand complex composition, what Daily Trust Newspaper is saying is that the just concluded presidential election was a sham.

That the election shares a lot of similarities with 1993 election, and might as well share the annulment similarity with it.

Tinubu is not coming.

Peter Obi is coming.

Even the results INEC is currently uploading to its IREV portal is already at variance with what they announced manually.

Tinubu urchins are shitting in their pants.

That’s why they’ve been cold for 3 days now.

Ndi ala!
Apart from the 16 states where Obi was announced to have had 25%, can you mention 8 more states where he had 25% but was rigged out?

He can only be declared the winner if he's able to prove that he had highest lawful votes cast & had 25% in 24 States.
To do this, he would have to prove that APC & PDP rigged and that all of his own votes were lawful.

Politics / Re: Tinubu Pledges To Tackle Almajiri Problem In The North by DesireV: 8:15am On Jan 04, 2023
zeyt:
Nigerian politicians still hasn't fully understand the issue of Almajiri in the North. It is extremely difficult to abolish or even handled. Because it is a very old system of education since the dawn of Islam in the Northern Nigerian. It is an established institution for the purpose of gaining Islamic knowledge and discipline to enable a child grow and survive and become invulnerable to the harsh world. Millions of children are into it and several millions passed through it and millions will go through it. You will see Almajiri in every city and every village no matter small or remote in the North. I don't think it something politicians can handle. It is something akin to ideology in the minds of parents who send there children into it Nowadays the system seems to be become bastardized and corrupted version like everything else in Nigeria. If they can clean the system again fine. I think Babangida failed on this. Jonathan failed too for the so called Almajiri schools he established are like any other formal school because Almajiri system doesn't fit any formal or modern system. Almajiri system still strive. I myself did not agree with Almajiri system but this is the fact.
You understand the thing.
It's an ideology problem which is one of the greatest problems to tackle.
Only the poor northerners can proffer the solutions,the elites can only support them. Unfortunately, the solutions the poor will provide will dig a deep hole in the government's purse. They will want government to fund these almajiri mallams while the parents keep birthing the children. They simply want to shy away from responsibilities of parenting using seeking Islamic knowledge as an excuse. They feign ignorance of the fundamental obligations on parents as enshrined in Islam.

Preaching parenthood in Islam is the single most effective solution to the menace. In Islam It's a grave sin to born and not properly raise. This is what the mallams tend to downplay to the parents since they use the kids to their advantage (begging, political value etc)

There are poor people everywhere and if they need to beg, it'll be the parents doing the begging or at worst, with the kids. Not leaving preschoolers to fend for themselves. I have been moved to tears at the experiences of these kids, whose only sin was being born unlucky.

The middle class is almost non existent in the North. It's either you're rich or poor and education is that most effective bridge between those classes. A good number of the poor people embrace almajiri, the rest who don't, the government schools are grossly non functional. I have been in a state capital in the North where primary schools run shift due to lack of facilities. Like, some batch of children would go in the morning, some in the afternoon. A local said as a kid, the term he was grouped to the afternoon session, he wouldn't go because he would have been exhausted in the afternoon to start going to school. Think of what happens in the rural areas if this is obtainable in the capital.

Functional basic education is arguably the best the government can do to give the poor the opportunity to ascend the social ladder. Most Northern state governments aren't doing enough in this sector and it's from schools that these poor children can be aware of the duties of government and citizens, then demand their rights from the government.

Raheeqilmaktoom:


Many people down south don't know the history of Almajirci and how it came to be, how it was abused and what led to those abuses, Gej probably made the same mistake - in a typical Southerner's mind, it's shouldn't be there in first place.

To a northerner, its a system that worked well before certain factors led to its abuse -mostly economic and to some extent cultural, address those factors (esp economic), the people keep getting enlightened and the system would be transformed.

Right now, the Almajirci system is a insult on the north, right management of it would turn it to a spectacular system where people are made.

So, major thing, economic empowerment of the region, education should also be improved (Western and Islamic) over a long time and converting those almajiri schools into boarding schools like incorporating both Western and Islamic education. (Long term).

Immediate measure: clusters of these schools, taking off the kids off the streets and providing them with education, plus economic empowerment of the region and engaging stakeholders (scholars) to enlighten and disseminate information.

Without economic empowerment, most of these things will always come to naught.
Can you give specific ways/interventions on economic empowerment of the region?

EgunMogaji2:
This is an immature post that encourages speed contest on public roads. Not sure why Seun and his mods allows this illegal act to be advertised on here.

PS: My post was addressed specifically to Seun and his mods.

By the way, all roads in Nigeria have a speed limit. Thinking otherwise shows the lack of drivers training for the individual.
The opposite is actually the case
Most people talking about the highest they have gone either say they won't try such again or warn against it which means.
I think it's more of an awareness thread and it has personally prompted me to institute measures to make me not likely to exceed 100 again.

flexyrule:
Bought a tokunbo Mercedes Benz here from a very popular and trusted Nairalander.

Due to his reputation here, I just sent my friend who is based in Lagos to go check out the car and bring it down for me.

Before payment, the seller identified some issues such as leaking exhaust and AC. I agreed to fix some and sent money to him to tidy up the ones he could attend to immediately as he had loads of jobs at hand.

Fast forward to 1 year, after battling with the car like I was tending to a cancer patient. I got to discover that I te hnically bought a rotten water melon:

The engine was tampered with, probably from the US where he imported the car from. As in the engine has been opened before.

The AC leakage never got sorted out. Omoh, I spent over 800k on the AC alone, yet no positive result.

The Indomie was tampered with, I had to replace the exhausts - cost me over 200k.

This is outside some other small small issues I was came up almost on a daily basis.

I sold the car after spending a lost the same amount I bought the car, on repairs and replacement of dead parts.

Bad experie ce I would say, but I learnt never to trust anyone, no matter the name you have made for yourself.
Do you wish someone else pass through same in the hands of the supposed popular and trusted Nairalander?

If no, mention him pls
