I've got nothing against single mothers but if a woman hides the existence of her child from me, that certainly is a red flag.

I also do not forgive infidelity.

ooops! but would you have given her a chance to explain
why she did that?
What if there is a reasonable reason behind her actions?

[color=#1980BC]If she has a child elsewhere without letting me know before we get married.

She shouldn't just keep the secrets that will cause problems for us.[/color]

But its her child and you love her. And logically,
if you love her, you should love her blood.

And love should be enough to stay with her..i guess!

Surfing the net, I came across this. Though not an article, just felt sharing it here would be knowledgeable.
Though I don't know what might have happened as the topic depicts but the thing is there will definitely be
reasons to call off a wedding.

Now over to the house....
share your thoughts, belief and reasons. Lets learn and have fun together!

It's not only no 1 that is correct, but many of them. I'm particularly in support of numbers 5 and 6. It's not advisable to marry a person whose vision cannot complement yours.

xactly..
My own idea is, if such should happen, there wont really
be anything to discuss in the marriage as pertaining their future together.

what faith do u hold onto? I bliv its primitive and superstitious for someone to make such statement. the power to kill is exclusive to God Almighty, He is supreme and Ultimate in His dealing. stop acting as God's manager. The dead is gone the living are hungry

I share mbaka's position. Igbo politicians who are supposed to be in the vanguard of actualising the project are busy lobbying for political offices and contracts, while the nonentities are busy making noise and getting impoverished.

I cannot be used in this information age.

SDerious argument!

MrT2011:
Mbaka is possessed. He is a fool.

A whole priest z a fool?

Rev Father Ejike Mbaka, the catholic priest from Enugu state, has been strongly criticized for his statement, in which he said that he would support pro-Biafran agitators only if “their sponsors take the lead in any protest”.

The Sun reports that Rt. Rev. Bishop Abraham Chris Udeh, the general pverseer of Mount Zion Faith Global Liberation Ministries in Nnewi, Anambra state, has called on Catholic Bishops to call the fiery priest to order.

Udeh alleged that some enemies of the Igbos sponsored Father Mbaka to work against his Igbo brothers. He also claimed that the catholic priest allegedly worked against Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 general elections leading to his loss.

“It appears you people (the media) are afraid to tell Mbaka the truth. Why should he be working against Igbo interest and everybody will keep quiet. Even the Catholic Bishops do not want to call him to order. He is not talking prophetically. Is the Buhari he projected to succeed Jonathan working for the interest of Ndigbo? Can’t we reason? That is the question we should ask ourselves,” the bishop said.

According to Udeh, some Igbo leaders keep quiet over the arrest and detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra “because they are contented with their political positions and the crumbs from the table in Abuja.”

A week ago, during a sermon at Adoration Ministry, Mbaka strongly criticised Biafra supporters, defining them as ‘evil’. He called on youths in the south-east and south-south to go back to their business as pro-Biafra protests could lead to their deaths.

Responding to Mbaka, the Indigenous People of Biafra denounced him as a compromised priest speaking from both sides of his mouth.

The sad demise and unexpected death of Prince Abubakar Audu, the All Progressives Congress flagbearer at the Kogi state governorship election was too bitter a pill to swallow. There are some big lessons every politician should learn from this unfortunate incident.

When the date of the inconclusive Kogi state governorship election of Saturday, November 21 was announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, no one could ever thought a tragedy of this magnitude was waiting at the corner for the front-runner in the election and the APC candidate.

Prince Audu had tasted power twice before as the executive governor of Kogi state. First, he governed the state under the defunct Social Democratic Party between 1992 and 1993.

On return to civil rule after the military interregnum that ended on May 29, 1999, the late Audu contested again and was elected governor of the same state under the defunct All Peoples Party for a single term in office. He lost his re-election bid to Alhaji Ibrahim Idris of the Peoples Democratic Party. Ibrahim Idris was succeeded by the incumbent governor, Captain Idris Wada.

As the election of Saturday drew nearer, Prince Audu never knew the cold hands of death were waiting to grab him and take him away just a day after the election to the great beyond. No one could ever prophesy that Audu’s time was up on earth. Although, a lot of speculations might be going round surrounding his demise, but the mystery of death is too great to be unravelled.

It should be noted that nothing of this nature has ever happened in the political history of Nigeria since 1960. This is the first time a governorship candidate who is leading by some thousand votes in an election he is actively involved in would die.

The death of the Kogi state former governor is a strong warning to everyone who vies for position of authority. It is a wake-up call to every political office holder to conscientiously serve the people they lead. This is because there is plethora of big lessons every politician should learn from this national tragedy.


1. Power is transient

Human beings themselves are in a temporary phase in this world. The only thing that unites all mankind together is death. Everyone will taste it. Prince Audu has just tasted his own only a day after his election.

Politicians who believe they always have to be relevant at the corridors of power should take a queue from the APC candidate’s death. For those office holders called All Government In Power, it is high time they desisted from acts that have brought untold hardship to the poor masses. The truth is that everyone will become history one day as Audu has now become history. It is now left for someone to choose either to leave a good and lasting legacy or a bad and villain-like history.


2. Politics should not be do or die

There was a time during this 4th republic and present political dispensation that a former president said that elections will be do or die. Statements like this are inimical to the political atmosphere of the country. It is capable of inciting violence among political parties contesting elections.

For instance, if the late and former governor had uttered something of such during his campaign, what would have happened now to him that he is dead? This is one of the big lessons every politician should learn and start using in their day to day political life.


3. Remembering the citizens always

Politicians should always see the people first before they think about themselves. They should sacrifice everything they have in order to put smiles on the faces of Nigerians. They should put the security of lives and welfare of the people as paramount. In doing all these things, peace and love will reign in the country. They themselves will live a life of tranquility.


4. De-monetisation of politics

Could anybody guess right how much went into late Audu’s electioneering process right from the day he indicated his interest to contest to the very hour he voted? The closer answer would be Billions of Naira.

The money spent include the distribution of certain amount of money to various interest groups in order to get support for Audu, the APC governorship form, the media team, organising rallies and campaigns, travelling round Kogi, feeding and accommodation, party agents, publicity and advertisement, canvassing for votes and other logistics. All these show that Nigeria’s democracy is too expensive.

The question now is where is Audu after dissipating his energy and resources to become a governor? He is no more!


5. The effect of a Supreme Being

“Man proposes, God disposes,” is a common saying.

The results that was released by INEC had the APC flagbearer polled 240,867 to the PDP’s candidate and incumbent governor votes of 199,514. Abubakar Audu proposed to become elected as governor, God however disposed Audu’s intentions. Even his personal physician hardly advised him against this great eventuality.

The lessons in this incident are so many which everyone should ponder over. Being a Muslim, the 2-time governor will be buried in his hometown on Monday, November 23 according to Islamic rites.

May God grant his soul a perfect rest as the nation mourns his departure.

You're confused.

Ok
Am confused, are we done now?

Tell me the parts you dont agree with specifically and WHY.

Let us reason together.



Lastpage!

I edited and "emphasised" some lines there.

[b]*Everything points to PDP and their candidate, poisoning Audu, to get a re-run and boost their chance.

[/b]This...I dnt really wanna comment about

godoluwa:
I read dat ur write up & its insightful. politicians are not to be trusted. APC should be d first suspect in dis Audu case until we are able to knw who killed Funsho Williams

Finally got someone who could see thing in different way!

lastpage:
Nice "wonderings"!

Now, since there are ALWAYS TWO SIDES to a COIN, let us look at it from "another Angle":

1.) Audu was on-course to win the election. That much we both agree upon.

2.) Audu represents the and was filled by the APC. Audu is contesting against a PDP candidate

3.) If Audu dies on his way to winning the election, APC will claim he has NOT won the election

4.) INEC is already playing out this script by declaring the election as "INCONCLUSIVE" when it is very obvious and established in law, based on precedents, that it is a party that actually holds the mandate of such election. That is, irrespective of which candidate is fielded, the party is a guardian of the mandate and can replace candidates while still retaining its mandate. \

5.) INEC has no right to declare such election "inconclusive" since the Kogi people have casted their votes and the "vote-casting process" has COMPLETED conclusively, irrespective of whether Audu dies or not and his death has "no bearing" on the Vote Count.

6.) A very important element of Criminal investigation is the postulate of MOTIVE.
Motive exposes those/who could benefit from the commission of a crime. That is, the "beneficiaries" of crime, always fall within the circle of those with the motive
Put in another way, if you have a "Benefit", then you have a "Motive"

7.) His family said he was vomiting BLOOD, before he died. as against the lie some Newspapers are peddling that he dies of cardiac arrest! Cardiac Arrest death does not involve vomiting Blood!.... that is a symptom of "ingested Poison".

8.) Going by the fact that Audu was poisoned, we can now ask:

a.) Does his PDP opponent has a BENEFIT from his death? Well, as we have seen, his death means the PDP opponent has a chance since otherwise, he would have been declared the LOOSER of the election by now

b.) Since he has something to gain by Audu's death (benefit), then we can conclude reasonably, that "he has a motive" to see Audu DEAD!
That would give him another chance for a re-run, which he thinks he might also win.


As for not wanting Audu to be the Governorship candidate, the APC was mindful of his political past but had to give-in since it seems the people of Kogi are in-love with him. ... and they have showed it in their voting pattern.
This does not mean that APC would actually go as far as killing their own "winning candidate"! That is Hogwash.
If if they want to do that, they would wait til he was sworn-in as Governor, then kill him so that his Deputy will just assume the seat,... not do it before he is inaugurated. Your assertion and position lack any sense of Logic

I am sure that APC is also aware of this possible "backlash' should a re-run be ordered and would not even try running the risk of killing their own Candidate who is popular with the electorates.

Its like in Lagos State in 2011: Tinubu does not want Fashola to have a second term but he has no choice than to bow to the will of Lagosians (Egba, a ti fun yin o! Take, l have given him to you! ).
Will Tinubu go as far as poisoning Fashola, just to make that point of not wanting him? NO.


*PDP has pulled a "fast one" on the people of Kogi and Nigeria in general.
*PDP has been described as a "NEST OF KILLERS" ... even by their own party members, in the past.
*Like a cliché says, "The Apple does not fall far away from the Apple Tree".

*Everything points to PDP and their candidate, poisoning Audu, to get a re-run and boost their chance.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. that's a good write up and a reasonable point of view.
I definitely agree with the writing from the start.
But the concluding sentence, that am not sure of!

ayindejimmy:
Your questions have invalidated your hypothesis

Simply put, Audu died a natural death.
ANYBODY CAN DIE ANYTIME

My hypothesis is on how he died,
my question is why they want him dead!
ANd if its natural, RIP for him anyways!

[color=#1980BC]Guy forget that thing.

Every mummy is a perfect example bro...even if she go beat you die
And there are beautiful ones that cant cook too.
Who knows which category your wife will fal into!

OrlandoOwoh:
Nonsense! If it's APC that killed Audu, they would've kept the death a secret till after the election is concluded. You lack logic.

Returning the bolded back...
And if they kept it a secret, Kogi indigene would av done the same too?
Wanna catch a thief, think like one... That's the logic!

The death of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, Prince Abubakar Audu has caused issues over how the country could proceed with the Kogi state election.

APC candidate with 240,867 votes from the 21 local councils of the state was on his way to a historic third democratic victory after six attempts.

On the other hand, his closest rival, Governor Idris Wada of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scores 199,514 votes.

Meanwhile, instead of being announced as the winner of the poll, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared on November 22 that the election was questionable, adding that there would be re-run polls in 59 polling stations which have about 49,000 registered voters.

The Nigeria constitution, the main law of the country, only made remark of death of elected aspirant that is yet to be inaugurated.

The 2010 Electoral acts in section 36, says that:

SECTION 36 – Death of a candidate – (1) If after the time for the delivery of nomination paper and before the commencement of the poll, a nominated candidate dies, the Chief National Electoral Commissioner or the Resident Electoral Commissioner shall, being satisfied of the fact of the death, countermand the poll in which the deceased candidate was to participate and the Commission shall appoint some other convenient date for the election within 14 days.

(2) The list of voters to be used at a postponed election shall be the official voters register, which was to be used if the election had not been postponed.

This is the closest the electoral acts say about the death of Abubakar Audu.

The lawyers have declared that the death of the gubernatorial candidate Audu has exposed a gap in the constitution.

bros nobody killed audu, he died that is what happened. i am linked to his family and I can tell you nobody killed him, incase you don't know he has been postponing a medical trip to the US because of the election

ok.
Thank you!

mymadam:
@Op, you've already answered your question. If your observation is correct, then the real question should be; WHAT NEXT FOR APC?

Ans to the question...
if The deputy will be a good option, then they go for it...
Otherwise...

TheSadist:
We all nurture secrets, from huge ones to mild ones. If we all divulge our secrets to each other, that friendship that we share would not be well bonded and meaningful. It would kill the excitement of the unknown therein. Besides, likening a partner to a friend means that you accept them for who they are, no more, no less. Because it was that quality about him/her that attracted the peron in question to you in the first place.
