Family › How To End An Extramarital Affair Before Your Spouse Comes To Know by donogaga(op): 7:40pm On May 15, 2016
If life were a movie, you would live happily ever after once
you got married. Unfortunately life isn’t so and there may
come a juncture in your marriage when you find yourself
involved in an extra-marital affair. The worst part of having
an affair is knowing that you are being unfair to three parties
at a time – your spouse, your lover and yourself.

It is this eventual realization, no matter how exciting the
affair, that compels one to try to end an affair before any
more damage is done. If you too find yourself caught up in
such a situation and have the feeling of perpetually walking
on eggshells, take matters into your hand. Make a clean
break with your lover and end your affair before your spouse
and your family is devastated at your infidelity.


(1) Take a firm decision.
You can begin to end your extra-marital affair only if you are
completely convinced of the correctness of the decision.
Understand that what you have been doing is not only
devastating to your marriage and your spouse but is
inordinately unfair to your lover as well. On one hand you are
breaking the bond of trust with your spouse and on the other
you are creating a mirage of hope. So take the decision to
end your affair and stick to it.

(2) Consider how to end the affair.
The most honest way to end an extra-marital affair would
undoubtedly be to meet your lover and let him/her know of
your decision. However such a meeting could get messy and
confrontational. Moreover once you meet your lover, you
might be tempted to give in and back away from making a
clean break. So consider other impersonal ways of breaking
up for instance by email, phone or a letter. You may be
accused of being low and unfeeling but recognize that at
this time being honest is a bigger priority than being gallant
and generous.

(3) Sooner the better.
If you sincerely want to avoid your spouse finding out about
your affair, decide to break up immediately with your amour.
The more you dither, the greater are the chances of your
affair being exposed. Recognize the signs of the start of an
affair and nip it in the bud. If you have just spending more
time with a co-worker or a pal from school than usual,
refuse to meet him or her the next time. Or if you are
frequenting a particular shop or restaurant in the hope of
meeting somebody, decide to go to another place. Even if
your affair has been going on for some time now and your
spouse has not yet found out, thank your stars for the luck
but don’t push it.

(4) Make it clear.
While breaking up with your lover, make it clear that this is
the end and you will not be seeing each other hand. If you
are doing it in a letter or email, keep the content concise and
to the point. You might want to be compassionate and
understanding of your lover’s pain but this may be
construed as your willingness to let the affair continue. So
don’t let there be any ambiguity about your decision or
hopes about continuing to be friends. This might happen in a
perfect world where two adult people from opposite sexes
do not give way to emotional or sexual weaknesses. But in a
real world, such a thing is impractical and difficult. So be
emphatic in your decision that this marks the end of all
forms of personal relationship between you and your lover.

(5) Cut off all contact.
This is the most definitive step in ending an extra-marital
affair and may mark the difference between an unaware and
a livid spouse. End all forms of contact with your lover,
whether in real life or by electronic means. You should not
only stop meeting your lover but also stop communicating
with him or her by phone, text message, email or posts on
social networking sites. If it is impossible to avoid your lover
completely, like when he or she happens to be a co-worker,
see if you can get a transfer to another office or at least
another department. If that too seems impossible, restrict
your communication to strictly professional matters.
Remember the less you see of each other, the easier it will
be to break off an affair before your spouse comes to know
about it.

(6) If necessary, take help.
It is a good idea to seek the help of a counselor or a
therapist when you are trying to sort out the mess in your
personal life. Professional counselors can offer an objective
view on your problems and can come up with effective
means of resolving them. While friends and close family
members can also offer support, they are unlikely to have a
completely impartial perspective and worse may be tempted
to reveal your infidelity to your spouse. Counselors and
therapists on the other hand make it a matter of their
professional principles to maintain the privacy of their clients
so that your spouse is unlikely to know about your affair
from them.

(7) Focus on your marriage.
If you are trying to end your extra-marital affair before your
spouse finds out about it, it is presumably because you care
about your marriage. So turn your attention to your marital
relationship and see if there are issues which left you
dissatisfied and eventually tempted you into an affair. Talk to
your spouse and try to re-connect with him or her. Consider
which areas in your marriage need to be worked at and do
so before it is too late – again!

Ending an affair is not easy – no matter for how long it has
been going on. However taking the right steps while going
through it, is likely to make the breakup cleaner and more
decisive – something that is essential if you wish to put the
affair behind you before your spouse gets wiser.

The match has been abandoned because of a suspect package found at Old Trafford.

Supporters in the north and west stands were told to leave shortly before the scheduled 3pm kick-off, which was consequently delayed for 45 minutes before the club announced it had been abandoned altogether.

The club described it as “operation code red”.

Politics › Re: We Know The People Bombing Pipelines - AYIRI EMAMI by donogaga(m):
The Niger Delta crisis is a serious matter that requires serious policy and committed and courageous leadership to resolve.


The Niger Delta has been complaining about environmental
damage from oil exploration and rising unemployment and poverty in the region, but the successive governments and the multi-national oil corporations have been insensitive to the plight of the people. The people have endured a long history ofeconomic and social injustice and they are now “tired of being at the bottom.”

I don't support the activities of the militants, but the truth is that, we the people of Niger Delta have been suffering from
environmental degradation and pollution through oil spillage and gas flaring. There are many other “Tales of Agony” strewn the landscape that I do not deem necessary to drop here.

The crisis in the Niger Delta is not complex by itself. But the approach to resolving it makes it complex and dangerous. Thepeople are not asking for anything out of the ordinary. The region that is home to Nigeria’s oil wealth remains the mostimpoverished community in the nation. What a paradox! Travel down to the communities and you will notice the lack of basic infrastructure, good network of roads, health care facilities, good schools and portable water etc.


The oil wealth is not being used to develop the area. The successive governments have collected billions of dollars from the land over the decades, but little (if any) has been invested in the area to improve the people’s living conditions. Is there anything wrong in investing some money that are realized from the oil extracted from the region to improve the people’s living conditions?

The main causes of Niger Delta crisis include greed and selfishness, deprivation and poverty, and “social injustice.” Thesimple meaning of social justice, according to experts, is that the same contribution equals the same benefit. A person’s“benefit" equals his or her “contribution.” And no community should be given more when it contributes less or be given less when it contributes more!

That is the crux of the matter in the Niger Delta crisis! The Niger Delta is contributing a lot to the economic well being of Nigeria and it is getting nothing, but destruction, in return. Without social justice there will be no peace in the Niger Delta and socioeconomic development will continue to elude the region. Social justice is an important ingredient for “socioeconomic development.” It creates “a healthy, harmonious, reliable social psychological atmosphere that willstimulate economic development.” And because of social injustice the entire nation is slowly becoming politically and
economically very unstable.

God bless Nigeria!!!
Romance › The Negative Effects Of The Baby Mama Syndrome. by donogaga(op): 6:14am On May 14, 2016
This write up was inspired by this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/3103346/uju-stella-pregnant-burna-boy

Uju Stella: "I Am Pregnant For Burna Boy" - Lady Claims.





THE BABY MAMA SYNDROME.
Baby mamas are unwed mothers of any age. The fathers of their children are baby daddies. “Baby mama drama” has become a common expression for the many conflicts associated with baby mamas. Less well known is “baby daddy trauma,” which refers mostly to domestic or other violence committed by a baby daddy. “Drama” and “trauma” don’t begin to describe all the issues included in the Baby Mama Syndrome?

WHAT IS THE BABY MAMA SYNDROME?
Dictionary definitions of syndrome often describe “a constellation of” symptoms, things, events etc. related to a certain condition. A syndrome is also defined as “a predictable pattern” of circumstances, behaviors, events etc. associated with a particular social condition. Unwed pregnancies and births are the social condition we’re dealing with here.

I define the Baby Mama Syndrome as the constellation of circumstances, people, relationships, behaviors, and negative
effects related in any way to two people making a baby together when they are not married to each other. It is not a medical or psychological diagnosis, although some of the negative effects on individual baby daddies and especially on baby mamas and their children can be both psychological and medical.


CAN WE SIMPLIFY THAT DEFINITION?
I’ll try. The Baby Mama Syndrome starts with two people who are not married to each other conceiving a child together.

The Baby Mama Syndrome involves the baby mama, the baby daddy, their biological relatives and in-laws, as well as other baby mamas and baby daddies with “ties” to the baby mama or baby daddy, plus friends, the police, the court system, society, taxpayers, and, of course, the child.

The Syndrome includes any behavior by any of those people or institutions that would not have happened if the baby had never been conceived. It can also include living arrangements, employment, and lifestyle. In fact, it includes just about anything related to the two unmarried parents.

We all suffer from the Baby Mama Syndrome. The number of illegitimate births in our country every year is huge, and this phenomenon has changed our culture forever, with lasting negative effects on individuals (especially the children), governments, and society.


OK, SO THAT IS NOT VERY SIMPLE. TRY AGAIN.
We start with two people who are not married to each other having sex resulting in the female getting pregnant. Well, that’s not really the start. Let’s look at the five components of my definition of the Baby Mama Syndrome, starting with
“circumstances.”


CIRCUMSTANCES.
Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Halle Berry, and Dwight Howard make unwed pregnancies look like no big deal. But
celebrities often have lots of money to help solve their problems, although their wealth isn’t always enough.

Most baby mamas and baby daddies are poor, can’t afford health care for themselves or their children, and have trouble putting food on the table. Many have to live with parents or grandparents. A large proportion of them didn’t intend to make a baby at all.

They may be in committed relationships, just dating, or hooking up the night they meet. They may be married to someone else and make a baby while having an extramarital affair.


PEOPLE.
Baby mamas may be children themselves or in their forties, and baby daddies can be any age from puberty on up. A quarter of a million teen-agers became baby mamas last year , some of them for the second, third, and even fourth times.

Baby mamas and baby daddies can be any race, ethnic group, or religion.

A shocking array of people may be brought into the troubles of baby mamas and their baby daddies. The baby mama many times is in conflict with some other woman who is seeing the baby daddy or has a child with him. The other woman is her “romantic rival,” according to academic experts.

Friends, neighbors, the older children of one of the parents, relatives, even strangers can get caught up in the problems. The police are called, a judge puts one or both parents in jail or on probation, court staff and child support enforcement personnel have to deal with them, and social workers such as child protective investigators are brought in. And, obviously, there is always at least one baby. These people and the agencies they work for may be part of a particular Syndrome, but all of them are part of the Syndrome we as a society and as taxpayers suffer from.

RELATIONSHIPS.
One of the biggest problems in the Baby Mama Syndrome is that relationships between baby mamas and baby daddies are often fleeting and unstable, and new boyfriends and girlfriends move in and out of the homes to the detriment of the kids.

Besides the intimate partner relationship between the two unmarried parents, “relationships” in the Baby Mama Syndrome include any connection any person or agency may have with the baby mama or baby daddy. Romantic rivals,
friends, grandparents, strangers, hookups, neighbors, the parents’ other children, current and ex-spouses, live-in boyfriends and girlfriends, fellow workers and bosses, anyone connected in any way with either the baby mama or baby daddy can get caught up in their drama.

BEHAVIORS.
As time goes on I will introduce you to the wild and often bizarre behaviors of some baby mamas and baby daddies and the others brought into the drama. One woman stalking another is commonplace, especially by phone or on social media like Facebook. Domestic violence occurs frequently. The children may be abused emotionally, physically, or sexually. Some parents have little interest in raising children; others can’t or won’t support the kids. Baby mamas account for 85% of abortions each year in this country. Some baby mamas or baby daddies drink excessively or abuse drugs, and their behavior can lead to abuse, abandonment, or neglect of their children.

NEGATIVE EFFECTS.
If you’ve read this far, you get the idea. I have written and will write many thousands of words spelling out in detail the negative effects of the Baby Mama Syndrome. Those effects are the unfortunate fallout from a culture that no longer values marriage as a necessary step before making babies, and of several years in which 40% of all babies born in this country have had mothers who were not married and probably didn’t want the babies in the first place.

Politics › I Will Set EFCC Against You, Sheriff Threatens Jerry Gana by donogaga(op): 9:59am On May 13, 2016
The acting National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) has
threatened to set the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC )
against a former Minister of
Information, Prof. Jerry Gana, over
allegations of looting over N500 million
belonging to the PDP.

Sherri made this threat in reactions to
earlier concerns raised by concerned
stakeholders of the party wherein
Sherrif was referred to as a ‘hoodlum’..
Sen. Sheriff, speaking through his media
aide, Inuwa Bwala, said most of those
who spoke have questions over their
heads and vowed to tackle them.
Bwala, who spoke at the PDP secretariat,
said Sheriff would not hesitate to invite
the EFCC to investigate Prof Jerry Gana,
for allegedly receiving N500 million
from Sky Bank in the name of the PDP.

“I know, as a fact, that Jerry Gana had
written to the national chairman to
allow him nominate some people into
certain committees, or allow him
perform certain functions for the party.
Whether these requests were granted or
not is immaterial. But, that is perhaps,
one of the reasons that he has taken the
position against anything this man
(Sheriff) does.

“The chairman has been running away
from receiving the report of the PDP
finance committee, because it is on
record that the same Jerry Gana, on
behalf of the party, without using the
machinery of the party, collected the
sum of N500 million from Skye Bank,
over which the PDP was dragged to
court and which it is being compelled to
pay,” he said.

Besides playing active role that led to the
defeat of former President Goodluck
Jonathan, Bwala alleged that Gana and
his cohorts were aggrieved because their
personal interests were not guaranteed
by the current leadership of the party.
Reacting to Professor Tunde Adeniran’s
remarks, Bwala said, “When hoodlums
come to power and have a direction,
vagabonds should keep quite.

Family › Suspected Wife Killer, Lekan Shonde, Goes On Hunger Strike by donogaga(op): 8:25pm On May 12, 2016

The result of autopsy will be ready in two days.

Meanwhile, the deceased’s alleged lover who is a manager in the company where she worked, has remained silent despite being accused by Shonde of wrecking his home.

Sources said the admitted that Shonde sent him messages to leave his wife, but he’s not ready to talk yet.

True that.

Now you are sounding very emotional.

Pride will halt a person’s ability to grow. Not a good thing.

Thank God for showing you how pride can destroy relationship(s).
Romance › Re: How I Ruined My Marriage Because Of Pride by donogaga(m):
Pride can destroy a marriage very fast. If a husband or a wife is full of pride they will have a difficult time apologizing. Being married is challenging. When two people live together day in and day out, there will be times that they hurt each other, annoy each other, they will not always meet each others expectations… and the list can continue. My point is that being able to say “I’m sorry” whether one is wrong or right is necessary for a marriage to thrive.

A prideful person is recognizable by their behavior. Pride is manifested in many ways. A prideful person convinces themselves that they are always right. This makes it very
difficult for them to admit when they are wrong, it makes it difficult for them to admit that they sin, and it makes it very difficult for them to apologize.

A prideful person believes they are self sufficient so they do not depend on God, their spouse, or anyone else. They have a “know-it-all” attitude and are conceited, exaggerating their importance by esteeming themselves above others. They criticize others, yet when criticized they become very
defensive. They have a difficult time submitting to others and they are stubborn!

A prideful person may only struggle with one of those things or all of them, the critical thing is to understand how to define pride. Then we need to evaluate ourselves and see if we hav pride in our hearts.

God detests pride because it keeps people away from Him. A prideful person does not acknowledge their sin or their dependence for God so they keep their distance.

In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his
thoughts there is no room for God. – Psalm 10:4

God warns us in Proverbs that pride will bring upon destruction. Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18

We need to be very careful that we do not allow destruction into our marriage through the existence of pride. Pride will corrode our relationships and destroy the intimacy God designed us to experience in marriage.


The best way to extinguish pride is to practice Humility.

Family › Indian Woman In Her 70s Gives Birth To Healthy Baby Boy by donogaga(op): 8:43pm On May 10, 2016
An Indian woman and her husband who are
both in their 70s have celebrated the birth of a
baby boy following IVF treatment, their first
successful pregnancy in 46 years of marriage.


Daljinder Kaur gave birth last month after two
years of treatment using donor eggs at a
fertility clinic in the northern state of Haryana.

Though certainly one of the oldest mothers to
give birth, her exact age was unclear. She has
said she is about 70 but does not have a birth
certificate, which is not uncommon in India .


Anurag Bishnoi, embryologist and owner of the
National Fertility and Test Tube Baby centre in
Hisar, told the Guardian he believed she could
be 72.

“She has said she is five to seven years younger
than her husband, and his birth certificate
shows he was born on 12/04/1937,” he said.
Kaur said she and her husband, Mohinder
Singh Gill, a farmer, had almost lost hope of
having their own child and had faced ridicule
in a country where infertility is sometimes seen
as a curse from God.

“God heard our prayers. My life feels complete
now,” she told Agence France-Presse from the
northern city of Amritsar. “I am looking after
the baby all by myself. I feel so full of energy.
My husband is also very caring and helps me as
much as he can.”

Their son, born “healthy and hearty” and
weighing 4.4lb (2kg), has been named Arman.
Kaur said: “When we saw the [IVF] advert, we
thought we should also give it a try as I badly
wanted to have a baby of my own.”

Bishnoi, who set up the clinic after gaining a
master’s in clinical embryology at the
University of Leeds, has carried out successful
IVF on several geriatric couples. In 2008 one of
his patients, Rajo Devi Lohan, became a first-
time mother at 70 when she gave birth to a
baby girl . Another woman became the mother
of triplets at 66.

He said Kaur and Gill had suffered several
setbacks in their quest for parenthood and had
previously been unable to afford the treatment.
After trying unsuccessfully to conceive, they
adopted a boy in the 1980s, but he went to
study in the US and never returned.

“They also had some family problems. A person
who is infertile is not given a piece of land or
any property by his father,” said Bishnoi,
explaining that Gill had to fight his father in the
courts. “He won, and then he got this piece of
land and he got the money for the treatment.”

Bishnoi said he was initially reluctant to
perform the procedure due to Kaur’s age and
the fact she looked frail. A series of medical
tests, including stringent cardio checks, showed
she was fit and healthy, and the risk to her
health of becoming pregnant was no higher
than if she had been middle-aged, he said.
“They were donor eggs. She had two attempts
and then a gap of six months. And then on the
third attempt, it was successful.

“For them it is a time of great happiness.
Especially because her brother, also, didn’t have
any children. They were two families, and both
didn’t have children. In Indian law they don’t
allow adoption after 45 years of age.”

He said he recognised that some people may
consider IVF in older women unethical. “My
point is if you put a restriction [on receiving
IVF treatment] of 45 or 50 years, you will have
to put a restriction on the males also. If they are
talking about ethics, the [age] should be the
same for both.”

As to how the couple would cope, he said: “They
have relatives who are ready to help take care
of the baby. And you can make anyone a
guardian.”

Gill told AFP he was unfazed by their age.
“People say, what will happen to the child once
we die. But I have full faith in God. God is
omnipotent and omnipresent, he will take care
of everything.”

Romance › Dwindling Economy: Calabar Oloshos Now Charge N400 Per Insertion & N1,500/night by donogaga(op): 3:31pm On May 10, 2016
Due to diminishing patronage as a result of the nation’s
dwindling economy which led to financial slup and low
spending by Nigerians, prostitutes of the sex market in
Paradise City, Calabar, the Cross Rivers State capital,
has been forced to slash their charges to an all-time low
of N400 per insertion and N1,500 – N2,000 per night
for home service.


A commercial s*x worker from one of the hot red light
zones in the city, Madam Becky, who spoke in Pidgin
English, told Niger Delta Voice that since February, the
girls have been complaining of ‘bad market.’
“Why you dey ask me all this kind JAMB question sef, u
sure say u no be police? Na because you buy me
drinks, wetin I fit tell be say Buhari government no
favour us at all, if na before, u no go see girl plenty like
that for here, except say Ekelebe people dey disturb. We
dey settle them well well, but since February, the
business don bad well well,” she lamented.

At some of the brothels and spots in Calabar South
visited by a reporter, the story was the same. A street
walker, Princess, said: “I finished My WAEC before I
joined this runs oo, my father died that same year and
my mother is not too strong to take care of all of us.
“My father’s people accused our mother of our father’s
death, so life has indeed being difficult. I actually came
to Calabar in November 2015. I am from Orlu in Imo
state but I started this business in Owerri before I
moved to a joint in Obiagu in Enugu. Then for a change
of environment, I decided to come to Calabar, last year,
because I heard that there is usually a boom during the
Calabar Carnival and I witnessed it, but things started
changing around February,” she said.

According to her: “We used to collect a minimum of
N500 naira for a round of sex but it started going down
after that Valentine celebration. My customers in a day
before used to be between 20–35 when business was
good, but as I am talking to you, my highest in a day is
no longer up to 18 or 20 when there is a boom.

“Upon say I be slim-fit, the only time we have business
now is when they pay salaries, during festivities and
public holidays,” she asserted.

At a spot on Lugard Street, one of the call girls
accosted areporter, saying, “No be N500 again oo,
Buhari don make us bring down the price, port one and
get one free. If you want home service, just tell me na
only 2k I go collect but you go buy be drink and suya
ooo with Indomie, but if you want sharp sharp, na N500
I go collect for one round ooo,” she added.

According to her, “We just dey manage to survive, wetin
man pikin go do, people no dey patronize us like before
again, de only hope wey we get some time na some of
our regular customers and during some weekends and
holidays, but we nor get choice than to reduce wetin we
dey charge before,” she asserted.

I pray there be a stiff regulation on the activities of the new operators.

Like minimizing the number of expatriate workers, pricing, community affairs and so on.
Another regulatory loophole that plague Nigeria’s
upstream sector is in the area of workforce retention.
Qualified and experienced Nigerians ,that is, the petroleum,
mechanical, electrical engineers and others in related fields
are either practicing in the diaspora, or are in the country
working in banks, communication firms, are privately
employed or struggling to make ends meet. Not many are
employed in the oil and gas sector within the country.


It is a well known fact that foreign companies operating in
Nigeria’s upstream oil and gas sector are daily flouting the
local content agreement as far as worker recruitment is
concerned. Expatriate welders, crane operators,
instrument technicians, safety engineers, project managers,environmental advisors and other lower, middle and senior level workforce for which Nigerian equivalents abound fill thestaff registers of Shell, Chevron, etc . In the faceof d failure of existing legislation to address this very important
issue, how does the Ministry of Petroleum intend to correct dis anomaly and ensure that the privatization of Nigeria’s refineries truly benefit Nigerians?
