You are angry and I can feel it.

Unfortunately, those who call you Indomie generation are the worst hit. They grew up at the tail end of Nigeria having hope and greatness into a messed up hopeless society.

Those who destroyed Nigeria will not call you Indomie generation. They will call you "children".

As per changing the Nigeria as a result of knowledge acquired through reading: this is not possible again because knowledge without facilities, tools and environment is not useful for anything except self preservation and survival.

Is it your fault to be an Indomie generation? Certainly not!
It's about the society we all have found ourselves in. The difference is that Indomie generation do not have any reference to when the society was still sane.

quote author=djon78 post=81731010]


There is no reason under the sun for a man to lift his hand and beat his wife. It is absolute madness. Only mad people do that.
And we have this kind of issue plenty in this clime.

Many men can't control there emotions. Small thing they will result to violence on there wives. But if its there fellow man, they can't even make a slip, before they receive better beating.
In fact men that beat there wife are weaklings simple and short.

That man has no regard for Op. Has never called after her since she left. I truly feel sorry for her. And she have children with him.
Op should just focus on loving her children.
Follow things legally by seeking out the help of child welfare to track the man down and commit to up keep of his children.
Never she lampoon or talk bad about there Daddy to them. Always build a positive outcome for there young mindset and most importantly keep on taking the man to God in prayer, that genuine spirit of repentance will arrest the man and he turns a new leaf. Because only God can change a man like this, nothing else.

If a woman slaps a man he deserves to be besten that's my red line. Forget all those nonsense u said

Women will always tell a story to draw sympathy for themselves.

No man will hit a woman without being driven crazy with abused, insults n mocking. If this man comes out state his own side this thread will be shocked.

Women are even the ones to first go physical by giving a man a dirty slap only for the man to retaliate by pounding her.
U are only crying now bc u are the offender n didn't share the complete story.

My only major concern is that the man is irresponsible by not providing for his family n has not asked after you people since 4months dts mean. He is probably done with the marriage n u played into his trap by moving out.

All this u wrote is for mention, but of a true is beyond that

U have been mentally damaged but u are unaware .... I wonder how old u are....

The attention u seek and crave for, u have gotten it, well done

I saw that article too, its even 98% according to NDIC

Bahddo:
don't bother trying a Strawman argument with me. Saying "your body does not change because you are married" is not the same as saying "your body does not change because you are pregnant." Stop this female habit of twisting stuff because you cannot refute the original assertion.

Pregnancy is not a direct consequence of marriage and so I'm not sure why you are blaming marriage for your body changes (which can be inspired as much by gluttony as they can by hormones). Also, your pregnancy does not benefit your man any more than it benefits you.

Same applies to sex (you get more pleasure from the act) and cooking (you eat of it even if you may not know where the money came from).

Argue all you wish, you ladies are the main beneficiaries of the social contraption called marriage.

Quorax:
LOL, don't mind them. Class... Funny lots

jess2019:
Although it's not allowed here but I've moved from smacking to beating now but no change in his behaviour. I fear this boy will put me into trouble one day or grow up to hate me. I'm thinking of sending him to naija for one school semester but hubby refused.

MyGeneration:
Yorubas and Igbos fight only on the net and nothing ever happens.

But hausa people are telling you they don't talk too much

The Invictus Obi's saga is disheartening not because another Nigeria yet again has been busted for fraud, it's disheartening because the rippling effect will be enormous.
A lot of Nigerians are going to pay for yet another scandal by a single Nigerian.

Thing is Obinwanne was not just another average Nigerian, he had a CV and portfolio that was envied on even by the international community.

He was looked upon as one of the bright spots to come out of this dark hellish place called Nigeria.

Obinwanne Okeke (Invictus) was one of the supposed few answers to the damning question of can anything good come out of Nigeria?

Featured by Forbes as one of the Forbes 30 under 30.
He's been on BBC, given a Ted Talk, Spoke at London school of Economics Africa Summit.
Has a conglomerate spanning across many African countries dealing on oil, agriculture, infrastructure, solar energy etc.
Had a lot of International awards celebrating his achievements

With this sort of portfolio and at 32yrs, he was seen as this bright spark coming out from a country that has more trends for despicable things than amiable ones.

Only to find out that beneath all this facade was a fraudster. A serial one.

An international corporate yahoo boy with suits and a great CV to match.
Estimated to have stolen $20-$22million from US companies from 2011 till date.

There was always that gaping hole in his story about his start up capital that gave an itch of not adding up.
But then we gave benefit of the doubt as we usually do even to our own collective detriment in a bid not to come across as a hater.

He fooled a lot of people and that for a long time. Make no mistake about it, he's going to pay for his crimes. But he isn't my concern.

You can't help but feel for other innocent Nigerians that are going to pay for the crimes of Obinwanne too.

Obinwanne would be in his prison scrub for a long time serving his time.

While other Nigerian out there will be getting Visa denied even after meeting and surpassing all the requirements.

Other Nigerians would have to work twice as hard to earn a modicum of trust and respect within the international community.

International organizations are going to pull out of deals the moment they become aware a Nigerian is part of the deal.

International airports will be a lot more hostile than they already are the moment they see you with that almost worthless green passport.

More companies will start declining cards coming from this part of the world.

Nobody wins here, not you, not me.

Imagine one of the few people who had earned the trust and admiration of the international community being busted for fraud.
What is your fate being an average John Doe or Jane Doe?

While Obinwanne is going to pay for his crimes inside the walls of a correctional facility.

You are going to pay for his crimes in embassy halls, airports, business meetings, immigration offices etc.

It will be no fault of yours, you would probably have all the requirements but still would be treated as an infidel.

When one of your supposed brightest minds has been busted as a fraud.

What are your chances?

Nobody won here.

We all lost.

There are people reading this thread to understand the details (not everyone is in the sciences or engineering) but all one can see is insults from both sides. It's just a shame that Nigerians can not engage in healthy debates without getting personal. At the end of the day there is nothing to learn here from any of you. Years of experience would be expected to bring maturity as well.

vingeophysicist:
In conclusion you are a certified single mom . Good

Newmanluckyman:
...the greatest disappointment and sorrow a man will have is that after his mum noticed a bad character from a lady and rightly object against the marriage. Then the man out of LOVE &SYMPATHY went ahead and marry the girl.

After like 3 months, boom! The girl character manifest. Man, you will be living under the hell on earth.

bigerboy200:
Sorry, you got it all wrong. I don't know if you are a first time traveler. Even at that, you should have asked all necessary questions. Also you ahould have taken note of every single details while booking, and also confirmed your ticket online days ahead of your departure. Most airline offer online 'check in' 72 hours before departure, if you had taken advantage of this, you won't be in this mess. Also, your plan to leave your place by 10am and arrive airport at 11 for an international flight at 1.30pm is a very bad one. You could get stuck in lagos traffic thus ruining your plan. Also most international flights close 'check in' 45 mins-1 hr before flight depature. Sometimes, the immigration queue might be so long, such that u may even spend close to 45 mins before getting to your boarding gate. You should consider all of these factors when on international travel. With regards to the fine, I sincerly doubt if you can do anything about it. Cos the fault was obviously yours. You can try to seek audience with a much senior official tho, maybe they can put a human face to the issue. I wish you good luck. But please take note of all i have said.

candidtalk:
Sorry dude, no insult, but you are not very clever. Being the most itinerant ethnic group in Nigeria makes you the most valuable? Fulani herdsmen are itinerant. I guess that makes them more valuable to Nigeria than Yorubas!!!!!!! You are talking of "investment" that it is mainly clannish and involves tax-dodging Igbos who only want to keep 100% of their profit because of their anti-Nigeria outlook?

What makes you valuable to the centre above others? More realistic to actually view you guys as internal saboteurs. I knew you would do this i.e base your argument on the informal and unregulated sector that contributes little to Nigeria at the centre instead of showing your real and quantifiable value to the federal Government. Waste of time.

candidtalk:
Another deluded Igbo man. What value do you add to Nigeria that does not dwindle into insignificance in relation to what Yorubas add? Is it your hustling sector that never pays tax? Abi the oil and cash crop agriculture , like Cocoa, you contribute more than others ba? If you want to do facts and are not another Igbo man long on hype and propaganda, yet short on real statistics and facts, then bring it.

I am always ready to expose the self-delusions of Igbos. As a taster, before you head into trouble, what do you contribute close to the fourth biggest export of Nigeria i.e Cocoa bean worth $660 million dollars a year to our central coffers? You think we are talking the informal and unregulated market Igbos love to operate in because they are very selfish individuals and are patently against paying tax while preferring to cart their untaxed profits to the Village to build mansion and play big man? Yeah you are worth a lot to Nigeria indeed.

It is you Igbos who dont understand the North and have turned them into unbeatable/untouchable superman. The most savvy in the North know about rebellion and discontent. Let them try and monopolise power, because of their alleged number, and not make conciliatory power-sharing arrangement with others and see the discontent that will bring Nigeria down.

Unlike Igbos, shouting secession up and down, Yorubas fully understand that there are more than one way to skin a Cat.

candidtalk:
@Topic.

Trust Igbos to always engage in premature jubilation when they feel Yoruba interest/ambition is under threat. El Rufai became Governor on the back of Buhari's popularity. He is talkative and emotional. If I did not know better I would conclude he is Igbo.

The real movers and shakers like PMB, Tinubu, Akande et al rarely talk. Did Igbos not brag that Gbajabiamila will not be speaker HOR because, according to them, PMB will never back a Yoruba against his fellow Northerner?

What exactly is the status quo today and who is Speaker? Let us continue watching. Those who are always emotional will once again be shown that politics is about permanent interests come 2023.

stonemasonn:
Obasanjo and GEJ defeated Buhari.

Ugosample:
well..


it goes two ways tho

today's women are not exactly blameless

These days, people in general have lost the essence of building a solid natural relationship
everything now is shallow

That's just it.

One of the reasons why I pity babes who fall in love with extremely fine boys,by now okay will have a long queue of toasters in his dm.

Still doesn’t rub away the fact that over 95% of Nigerians rotting away in Indonesia prison awaiting the hangman are from Anambra state
