Fifthcolumnist:
You're being economical with the truth bro. He wasn't declared winner by the NEC chairman but he was apparently the winner from collated votes since there was no way his opponent could have caught with him. The annulment was completely illogical and stupid and everybody agreed with that. I don't see how that's different from Jammeh's case.

Until prejudice begin to win cases in the law court, I say bye to this needless dialogue.

Fifthcolumnist:
He already had 56% of the valid votes from 2/3 of the states so technically he had won the elections. In all journals, internationally and locally he is recognised as leader of the '93 elections. Jammeh's case is not different. He just didn't get away with the old trick.

Kindly study the constitution pre-95 constitutional national conference.

Meanwhile, even as it stands today, a presidential candidate winning majority votes and at least 25 percent of votes casted in 2/3 of the Nigerian states cannot legally/constitutionally guarantee such a candidate the presidential seat until the sane and sound head of the electoral umpire declare such a candidate winner.

The masses would always have their say while the politicians have their way.

They were two different cases. The difference between the two cases was that the Gambia electoral umpire declared a winner in the race - even worse still Yahya Jammeh accepted defeat, even though he later rescinded his pronouncement. However, in the case of IBB and Nigeria, the electoral umpire didn't declare the final result - no body was announced as a winner, so Abiola was merely notionally the winner of that race but without any legal/constitutional backing.

An average religionist is likened to an average American, while the latter believe that the world started and ends in the US the former belive that everyone shares in his religion's myopia.

Bishop, Buhari only need to perform well and align with the people that will matter in 2019 to emerge victorious in the poll again.

"I see God/Allah through the mortals who realistically hold good thoughts and mete out good actions towards their fellow human beings."

Imitating is not a crime anywhere in the world but duplication is a crime everywhere sane country in the world. So, since there's nothing new under the sun, that makes Trump innocent.

TEMINIKANSOSO:
thanks but i dnt understand u.

You're welcome. Meanwhile, that I stated there is the meaning of your said dream. Just be careful that's all.

@OP

Be wary of problem and falsehood in your waking life.

Important people never live on other people's opinion (that doesn't mean that they don't seek and listen to advice) - for s/he that lives on other people's opinion is as good as a dead person. Only petty people are feeble-minded.

Go ahead to marry him so long as you're certain that you aren't acting on impulse or pity. His deformity wasn't his making, so he deserves to be loved and cared for like every other human being. What makes a person sophisticated is his/her good attributes.

Superficiality is for petty (inconsequential) people.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. If they can leave it at this, they will always have my kudos in the future. I wish them a HML and all the prosperity they can imagine.

The only class of people who will never experience recession are those that are master's in any valuable arts (skill/service).

Recession doesn't mean that money grew wings and flew, it only means that old ways of doing things/earning money aren't viable again.

The man was simply a weakling (not a nice/good-bad guy) in love and that made him a slave to the petty (evil) woman. There's a tiny line between love and enslavement. Gutless people are liable to self-enslaved towards their partners.

He allowed the petty woman to use emotional blackmail to destroy him before she perfected it with physical assault and other vices. If he was against divorce because of his religion (by the way to hell with such religion), he ought to have known that separation and relocation were an option.

Marriage/relationship should be enjoyed not endured.

@OP

My sympathy goes to your family, especially to your father and I wish him speedy and total recovery.

On the other hand, I disagree with your pronoucement about money buying love (a genuine one) - take note I read all you wrote. Money cannot buy love. It can only buy servility. A true love is one where you cherishes someone/someone cherishes you paramountly based on immaterial possessions (good attributes). . . Attraction and money are just the complements (not necessities) that spices it up.

I had expected you to learn from your bitter experience that money can never buy love instead it can buy servility of a petty person. Your ex was with you all those while (counting from the stage she emancipated from social bondage) not because she loved you/ was loyal to you, but because you were meeting up her superficial needs - you didn't notice it because you mistook attitude for attribute. She booted now because she has got someone who's better off than you financially (her thought and your confirmation not mine). So you can see that she's not with the new guy possibly because she genuinely love him, but just for the sake of satisfying her selfish and opportunistic longings.

You have to share in the blame, because it's obvious that while you were sure of your love for her (or your domination nay oppression - with your money - over her) while it lasted, you made the mistake of validating her love/loyalty for you without allowing her to pronounce it through actions based on her independent. You didn't take time to observe her well at the stage she emancipated from social bondage, instead you continued your rating on her based on whom she was to you in her days of social bondage - the period when both of you first met.

You can only be sure of someone's loyalty towards you if s/he is fully economically and socially independent, but still accord you your earned respect.

Attitudes aren't always manifestation of attributes. Good attribute is everything. Next time refrain from relating with petty people (if you aren't one yourself), because they live life on expediency instead of principle. Petty people and superficiality are like bread and butter.

Gbam! One who need church or religion to do good simply lack good morality, therefore should endeavour to change his/her ethical philosophy.

At most the only good religion or church can do to someone that lack good morality is superficial facelift - no wonder 99 percent of religions proponents are hypocrites.

God (source of all) is for all that exists and lives.

Petty people and their perspectives usually amuse me. They are always out and ready to disparage one when confronted with superior intellect on things beyond their myopic minds and thoughts. Yet, when they hit a hitch you see them expecting you to empathize with them.

- Adventure is different from greed.

- Opportunity is different from opportunism.

- Being success conscious is different from being money conscious.

I've no empath for you lossers on this ponzi scheme.

In fact, I concluded a long time ago that about 99 percent of we Nigerians aren't smart but conceited.

.

The hidden truth is that about 98 percent of Nigerian employees are more concerned about what they can get from any organization instead of how they can help better such an organization. This is the simple reason the majority always wishes for the "assumed" hassle free positions - even when they lack the mental skill and good morality to such exalted roles.

We too like to reap where we aren't ready to sow - no wonder predators in the guise of religious leaders and ponzi schemes lives large off us.

Be you of either sexes, if you aren't married yet, never marry someone who haven't emancipated from economic and social bondages - unless you're either altruistic, faithful and conscientious (and ready to inculcates same attributes to your partner and be lucky s/he embraces same) or oppressive (and have the power to maintain the oppression for the time the union lasted). You can only know the true character of a person when s/he is fully independent to/and cater for his/her well-being. Marry someone who have achieved self-realization and lookout for his/her attributes and make sure you find at least 60 percent of those good attributes you cherishes to see in an opposite sex, before you say I do.

He married her when she was 19, for the paramount reason of having someone to dominate and control. She possibly endured his overindulgence while it lasted, until she came of age and emancipated. Then, upon emancipation socially and economically, she reared her own ugly sides too - which made them became frenemies. Mind games became the order of their days until the silent plot of assassination or coincidental kidnapping (sic) and its manifestation.

[quote author=Cavenchy post=52858587]Bro thanks greatly for everything and your points are well taken.

seguno2:
May God bless you.
Are you sure that you are a Nigerian?
Just asking. Lol.

Yes my brother. I'm a bona fide Nigerian. Actually, I observed that the bane of poverty, unemployment and underemployment in our country stems from the wrong fundamental philosophy majority professes.

A people that mistakes conceit and treachery for smartness, and abhors altruism but embraces opportunism has a long way to go and may never achieve self-realization and progress that usually follows it.

@OP

The appropriate question should be; would my service to the company justify the 40,000 naira they have offered to pay me? And when your employment is confirmed and you begin work, your next self-question should be; how can I upgrade my service output (productivity) to ensure a better growth for the company and of course better my wages too. Then, after achieving that, you can position yourself for partnership with the company (here you would expect/demand profit not wage) - and they would be glad to have you as a partner.

Always ask, what can I do for that person or company and mean it by backing it up with action and honesty - honesty remains the best policy in business. This is all about creating value. Good luck.

There's nothing tyrannical about the Zimbabwean government action. All these fake prophets belongs to the jails and psychiatric hospitals.

Many of them have been prophesizing about Mugabe's death since the past 10 years - they merely capitalizes on his old age to make their nonsense predictions, yet he's still standing hale and hearty.

Nonsense! This is a recycled old fiction.

Far back nollywood movie that featured mama g, emeka enyiocha etc.

Any woman that lives life on expediency over principle and possesses opportunistic/greedy attitude will always a have tendency for runs, so even if such a woman work in Rome, she will always do runs. But one that lives life on principle over expediency (which automatically means she will abhor a thing like runs) cannot turn to a runs woman, even if she work in a s.ex club and starves - this kind of woman is always contented and altruistic. A woman/person of good attributes is an overcomer!

True popularity comes from acts of kindness, humility and honesty rather than act of stupidity.

From the above simple analogy; you can decide your fate by choosing a route that suits your longing, create your path and encrypt it.

What premium times failed to know or knew but intentionally ignored to state also is that the Gambian constitution forbids a sitting president from relinquishing power until a case of an electoral imbalance before the supreme court is adjudicated.

This simply means that Jammeh has a constitutional right to sit tight until whenever the case will be finally decided by the supreme court - even if it take a century, so long as he doesn't withdraw the case.

LePrezident:
It is true. He still remains a mediator in the process. The current President Akufo-Addo okayed his continuation as a mediator in the Gambia impasse

Thanks for the clarification.

With Ghanaian ex president in attendance. I doubt the validity of this news, its accompany photo to be precise.

Long story cut short; any woman (irrespective of stratum) that lives live on expediency over principle is a runs woman - hypocrisy personified. The major hallmarks of such a woman is opportunism and superficiality. So, with a right price (may not necessarily be in cash) you have a meat, as a man.

Meanwhile, the same measure is equally applicable to men. Any man that lives live on expediency over principle usually possesses some or all of the following negative attributes and exhibits them as attitudes: selfish, domineering, predaceous, conceited, rude etc attitudes. He's also a hypocrisy personified like a runs woman.

So, the fundamental is the issue. . . This is all about ethical philosophy.

Blame Christians - most Nigerian Christians, especially the heads. They commercialized churches albeit indirectly, so I don't see any ill in the action meted out towards them.

Sultan isn't an administrative head of any group of mosques. But The GO's are - undeniably. Supposing that they (Christians head - predators) concentrates on providing spiritual leadership to their sheeples, altruistically, without the obvious but hidden motives of living off them financially, believe you me, they wouldn't have come to government scrutiny. In fact, I wish the government will begin to tax them too.

If you need any form of dogmatic, creedal and revealable religion/organization to become good and do good, you only lack good morality. . . It's time for you to change your ethical philosophy. One with God (not a predator of any guise) is majority.

It's unfortunate that you have so far failed to heed to his advice. "Always tell people what you do or stand for."

All the same, congrats.

StephanieLuv:
First i commend you, love talking with smart dudes. Nice write up what about Torvald Linux, if you don't know about the dude let me tell you a little about him, the dude invented Linux Operating system. Dude do you know what it takes to write an operating system in C for that matter and creating an enormous operating system called Linux which others copied and made other variant of the operating system. Why is Torvald not as rich as Bill. Another case study here in US so many code a lot even better than Bill and Mark but how many have created such products like facebook and windows/its applications. Its Destiny


Oh i forgot the man that invented C language which Microsoft Windows was developed with, why is the man not as rich as Bill and Mark lol should i continue to list them lol

It means a lot to me to wish you good luck and prosperity on this new year.
