That's your perception

With or without he will win

Only enemies of the state hates him , I mean PDP online miscreants

Less than 2weeks ago, u were disturbed by the rate of killings going on in the country and u literally withdraw ur support for 'brother buhari' and here u are supporting him again even when he has not done anything reasonable to stop the killings which is still going on in the country. Now I know what people mean when they say brain is 'paining' u. Can't wait for campaigns to start and see ur Mr integrity go to benue to canvass for vote

You are the one that need to buy sense so you will realize that somebody that can forgo interest on top of his or her money can do such for alcohol if they have their way. Moreover, those that forbidden sellin of alcohol have already lost tax revenue from alcohol at the state level now, tell me what remain from the federal that they would not be able to let go if fed gov should separate alcohol's tax from they give them?

Defender of d universe. Tell the state governors to write to FG to exclude them from revenue accrued from alcohol sales and consumption

Shafiiimran99:
You are the real hypocrite otherwise, you suppose to know that this is one of the reason we wanted islamic bank.

Go and buy sense, cos u don't have any. What correlation does islamic bank has to do with revenue accrue through taxation from alcohol sales to the federal government and in turn shared among the states

No one should be denied his/her belief in any religion as long as it does not affect the well being of others, my only gross with Nigeria Muslims is their level of hypocrisy, some Nigeria state enact sharia law which prohibit d sale and consumption of alcohol in their state but will share from d proceeds of alcohol sales and consumption from other states. Nigeria needs restructuring more than air

All comments/post I have read on this thread are against the proposed budget for electrical maintenance in d villa, can we get opinion from those that are in support?

while JAMB, under the new management appointed by President Buhari in 2016, remitted N7.8 billion to the coffers of the federal government.

The total amount remitted by JAMB between 2010 and 2016 was a paltry N51 million!

This old man might think all Nigerians are fools and ignorant like d chalatans singing their praise, he thought we don't know d reason for d increase in remittances and he is attributing it to d appointment made by 'brother' Buhari, if not for d new universities built by Jonathan, hw on earth will jamb make such remittance? He is comparing 2010 to 2017, why didn't he tell us the numbers of universities in Nigeria in 2010 and d number in 2017 so we can do proper comparison

If u no like her stands relating to d issue of not wanting kids, abeg give me d babe na dat type I dey find

Really wished Buhari ear ailment is cured so he can hear d cry of Nigerians

Okoyeebos:
I can see some wawa Jews peeping into this thread..

Those fan yogo and gala hawkers make fun of Ibadan's brown roofs because they have no history. They fail to realize that as at the time those houses with brown roofs were being built, their fathers were still living in trees.

Even if u r not destined to die, tribalism will surely kill u, u just deviated from d topic of discuss and have to bring in tribal sentiment. Yes, those houses in south west Nigeria has brown roof and as much as I know, there is no legislation that stops the house owners to renovate or change d brown roof with modern roofing sheet, but u will be quick to label south east red soil, but forgetting d fact that it was God who created the soil and not d people that domicile there, whoever calls the south east red soil is only mocking God who in his wisdom made the SE with red soil.

'I replied to a Facebook post and was married six days later'



Everyone who uses Facebook will have come across some pretty strange posts in their time.

Random friend requests, being added to groups you did not ask to join, and tags that allow "friends" to clog up your timeline with posts or photos you don't necessarily want.

But a Nigerian man took that to a whole new level when he posted an unusual advert.

Chidimma Amedu put up a post on 30 December, asking any woman interested in being his wife to reply, he told the BBC.
The proposal

"Am of age to and I am ready to say I do and am wasting no time.

"Send in your applications - the most qualified will be married on January 6, 2018. Application closes 12 midnight, 31/12/2017," he posted.

He then followed up with subsequent posts.

"Am serious about this oh and don't say you did not see it on time. Good luck."

He received a couple of responses, but one from a certain Sophy Ijeoma was the one which caught his attention.

"Am interested, just DM me...lols," her post read.

At first, she thought it was a joke and she simply replied to keep the thread flowing.
Man on a mission

A direct message from him to her inbox, followed by a Facebook call, would change her life's trajectory.

Image caption Chidimma placed the advert initially as a joke but became optimistic when Sophy said she was interested

Two days after their first conversation, he travelled some 500km (300 miles) from his home in the northern city of Abuja, to Enugu in the east where she lived.

She had been waiting for him outside a retail store and in true fairy-tale style, "it was love at first sight", she recalled.

"He is the most handsome man I've ever met and I liked him instantly."

After two hours of "awkward" conversation, he asked her to go to meet his uncle, who incidentally is also resident in Enugu.

Asked what was going through her mind at the time, she said she thought it was all a bit of a joke, but she was excited about it and thought Chidimma was quite an interesting character.
Tradition meets modernity

"We got to the uncle's house and he said: 'Uncle, meet the woman I want to marry.'"

Like Chidimma, his family don't seem to hang about when it comes to getting things done, because the uncle gave his approval.



Getting family backing for your choice of spouse is an essential part of Igbo culture.

Whereas picking your future wife from dozens of respondents to a Facebook marriage advert and marrying her in six days is decidedly not.

At this point in their day-old relationship, it was beginning to dawn on Sophy that this fellow was not playing, but how do you commit to marrying someone you only just met?

She would not comment on whether they had even shared as much as a kiss at that point, but maintained she was captivated by how focused and determined her new fiancé was.

"When I saw him for the first time, I definitely found him attractive, but what I didn't know was how serious he was about marrying me.

"It was after we met the uncle and his wife, that I realised that this could actually happen and I wanted it."
The engagement

It was now her turn to worry about how she was going to get the approval of her family to marry a guy she had just met on Facebook.

But they had momentum going for them. Having met and fallen in love at first sight, or first message, if you like, and getting Chidimma's uncle's approval, the couple decided to complete the cycle by visiting Sophy's family the same day.

Image caption Approval from the family is essential in Igbo tradition

Sophy recounted how she relayed the information to her mother. Her dad had passed away, and her mum said she did not have the final word in terms of giving approval for her to be married, so it was up to Sophy's elder brother to give his blessings.

It would appear the odds were firmly in their favour as Sophy's brother gave his blessings too.

So after a few questions from her brother, it was official - Chidimma and Sophy were engaged to be married in six days.
On the rebound?

Last year Chidimma was engaged to another woman and the wedding was scheduled for December, but the relationship fell apart in March leaving him dejected.

As December approached, the disappointment of not being able to fulfil his dream of getting married made him put up the post, he said.

"I had the desire to get married, I had a date in mind, but no bride, so I decided to place an advert as a joke, but I was open and up for it."

Asked whether she knew about his earlier engagement and her thoughts on how this seemingly rushed marriage might be seen as a rebound, Sophy dismissed any suggestions that her relationship was not well thought through.

"I don't care about that - when you see what you want, you go for it."

They had been friends on Facebook for more than a year, but had never met or spoken to each other until the advert.

"Am interested, just DM me...lols" was all it took for the union to be formed.

Sophy admitted her friends were sceptical about the whole thing, while some are still in disbelief, but as she said: "When you see the one, you will know he is the one".
Happily ever after?

They got married on 6 January in a traditional Igbo ceremony, and posted photos of their wedding day on Facebook of course - to the amusement of the social media community.

Chidimma put up a post saying people may have thought he had been joking but he clearly wasn't.

As can be expected, there were mixed reactions, but mainly a lot of support for the couple.

They hope to have a church wedding in April and perhaps a honeymoon somewhere nice, he said.

I read a thread where UBA is deducting incessantly from their customers account in d name of monthly card maintenance, my own issue is with GTB, I have been getting debit alert from GTB in d sum of #80 and d description of debit is recovery charges, I called a friend who works with GTB and ask her what is recovery charges all about, and she said she don't know any charge called recovery charges, just want to know if am d only one been affected or other GTB customers are also been deducted for 'recovery charges'.

I also observe that money is been deducted from my account without any charge attached to it, I will just observe that my balance is short of what it's suppose to be. Am I d only one experiencing this?

Using the mouth on genitals during love making scripturally impermissible?

I know where u r taking dis to, but do u do all that is scripturally permissible, Why single dis out?

Don't really know where humans learnt how to use mouth during love making. Can't they have sex without having to use their mouth on their genitals?

lol.. please ask around. this happens yearly

I have been in dis country for more than 35yrs, yes there have been times when there is fuel scarcity towards d end of d year but is not a yearly affair. Last year was a typical example that Christmas can come with fuel scarcity

[quote author=optional1 post=63636457]Give me that dress and I will open for you..


Is beautiful to hell with inappropriate dress.. Who appropriate dress don epp even inside church e no go still epp you..

Open what?

cliqtips:
It's normal during the festive period

It is not normal during festive period cos we have had not less than 5 festive period dis year and there was no scarcity, also there was nothing as such last year Christmas. There is something wrong from supply and distribution which d government is not saying

meezynetwork:
Am not sure that's a queue for PMS cos if it is, then not Nigeria cos its too coordinated and very long

It is a queue for PMS, and yes it's in Abuja, Nigeria. Abuja residents to a very large extent are law abiding and maintains decorum when it comes to queues

Panama should also be in d list

Looks like you went and edited my post on Facebook when I first saw the accident scene. Because your analysis was exactly mine. It is obviously the pmt driver's fault judging by the picture. what a loss, his over speeding and carelessness has cause families. May their soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Did not see any post on Facebook, the accident scene crossed my mind yesterday as I was driving and what I posted was what I was analysing in my mind. The scene of the accident is too obvious for anyone to analyze what must have happened.

Madam, God will see u thru dis tough tym

From the look of the accident scene, one will understand that it is entirely the fault of the bus driver.
1. He was driving on the opposite lane

2. Even on the opposite lane, the accident occurred on the opposite lane

3. He was on such a top speed that he could not swerve his hand to avoid head on collision, drivers tends to avoid head on collision by swerving d vehicle at least to save their own life, but he could not do that because of high speed


May God save us from wicked and dangerous drivers

My only concern in this "Toronto Credentials" is the differences in the names. For example: The Recommendation letter reads "Muhammadu Buhari" while the WASC reads "Mohamed Buhari".This is a monumental FRAUD!!

Also observed that prior to his enlisting in d Nigeria army all official document bears Mohamed Buhari , but it was when he introduced himself as Muhammadu in his application to the RNA that his name was changed, and I know that mohamed is different from Muhammadu.
