Truth is, we women deceive ourselves sometimes. We want a man that would act like a man "protect and provide" but would fight out the logistics of him trying to do what he is supposed to do. What we fail to realize is the enormous power in femininity; note i said "femininity" not to be mistaken for feminists. Be a woman in every way your man will lay the world at your feet. i don't subscribe to this new 21st values at all. Give me an old fashioned man, and i'm contented. Like my man will say when i'm trying to prove i'm independent " I am an old fashioned guy. I pay. when i'm with a female, I pay. whether she's my sister, my mother or girlfriend, I pay. No dutch treat. No her picking the tab. If i don't have enough to pay with, we both stay in" The point is make him feel manly always and you get what you want. both parties are happy, shikena!

You wrote like a knowledgeable woman. Give your man his place in the home as the King and by default you have your place as the Queen. If there be two captains in control of a ship, certainly there's bound to clash/crash

He is carrying a lot of people and artistes along.
If not for anything he's won my heart over.
So many greedy ones out there especially dat 2face who has garnered enough money to have at least five artistes on his radar but na lie,he no gree sign any artiste.
He loves chopping alone.
Same thing goes to Psquare.
Yeye pipo.

In some cases, when one comes from a poor family it's hard for that person to have free hand in helping others. Davido came from a wealthy family, he has seen it all right from childhood. I think that's the reason he sees material acquisition as nothing and thus helps a lot of young people around him to come up.

Men will always find away to shy away from their responsibilities nawa for nowadays men sha

If it's men's responsibility to take care of women, then there's no basis for equality.

If a woman takes care of a man the way men do to women, the whole world will hear about it.

Imagine if 50% of men in the world would want to get their haircut, buy perfume, deodorant, pay house rent, school fee, airtime e.t.c and they depend on their women for the provision. The noise from women worldwide would've been so deafening more than what we see today. But men do all these without complain.

This equality issue can never work.

Samsimple:
all this man prophecy na always about something way dey obvious.. sure to happen...

why he no prophecy on arsenal winning champions league.. or he own church building collapse mtcheeeeww

So you mean it was obvious that North Korea and South Korea were going to come to the table to discuss? The recent meeting of the two leaders in South Korea is something that has never happened in 65 years. even as at Janueary this year no one could imagine this to be possible. We should try and be frank sometimes.

Our Dangerous Interpretations of the Massacre of Muslims in Burma
By Gimba Kakanda
Not long ago, I challenged attempts by some Muslims in my part of the country to smuggle religion into their activism around the killings in Palestine, and reminding them of the racial and national diversity of the key participants in the outrage. We formed dangerous support groups around Palestine and Israel, for Islam and, ironically, Christianity, respectively. Some of them didn't know that Israel isn't a Christian country and that there are Arabs, something they seem to portray as sacred race, who are Christians, some even in Israel.
A number of us overemphasized "brotherhood of faith" that seemed to ridicule the advocacies of non-Muslims who had stood for the liberation of Palestine even before their parents met. I mentioned Edward Said, an Arab Christian of Palestinian descent, as outstanding voice of the people.
What unsettled them really was my observation that the killings in Northeast Nigeria should be a priority for them, fellow Nigerians, over the ancient tragedy in Gaza, which of course was being fairly televised, the dead identified and announced. Unlike the spate of unreported killings in our backyard.
That intervention was described as blasphemy, and they spelled their confusion for me clearly. That the campaign for rescue of Chibok girls, which I was dedicated to, was only for the Christianity of the girls and that a Palestinian Muslim ranked higher than a Nigerian Christian in their understanding of Brotherhood of Faith.
Since reports of the killings of Rohingya Muslims in Burma began to make headlines, the same characters are out to single Saudi Arabia out as cruel for doing nothing to save the Muslims in Burma, apparently expecting Jeddah to invade a sovereign country to achieve this.
Saudi Arabia is a political space that came into existence in 1932, a space that happens to host holy sites that serve as its plugs and immunity in tampering with the gullibility of Muslims all over the world. And yes, Saudi Arabia plays its politics wisely to stay out of trouble. Strangely, there are people that still won't believe that the same Saudi Arabia they adopt as protector of Muslims is killing innocent and unarmed Muslims like them in Yemen, and that they too would've been victims if they were Yemeni in affected regions.
Our inability to interpret global politics is the reason you see a mob in Jos or Kaduna taking to the street and burning shops and residences of their non-Muslim neighbours and friends for an assault on Islam in, say, Denmark. You will never get how destroying the property of fellow Nigerians or disrupting the peace of their cities amount to justice in Denmark.
In case you're waiting for someone to interpret this to you, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a political space that privileges its citizens over you, and that it will never see you as equal to its citizens, and also will never cite your religion alone as reason to issue visa to you. And there are millions of Arabs who, despite this abused concept of brotherhood of faith, see you as inferior to them, merely for the colour of your skin, and some won't even let you lead them in a Salat.
You can never fix the world by promoting exclusivity, weakening alliances with your neighbours and countrymen in solidarity with a people who probably don't know of your existence. We can only fix the world by building bridges and showing our neighbours we love them just as much as we love our brothers and sisters, and not this Musulmai versus Arna politics we think is the language of international politics, even when secular America is the biggest ally of the custodians of the Holy Mosques.

You shouldn't have shown 100% of your ignorance now. Copy paste religion follower.

He'll surely descend from heaven. Oya, Lets see how confused you will be now. Your next mention will be; "how possible is that". Confused Fellow.

Can you support what you wrote with any quotation from the Qu'ran or Haddith?

Stingman:
It is amazing when you read views expecially on Nairaland...Approximatelly 78% of Nigerians mostly people from the north and south west want peace and unity, but they hardly want to look at the other side...injustice, fairness and equity...Why is this so?

Is it possible to have peace and unity without justice and fair play?

Why would the central government create these policies:

1. Federal character.

2. Quota system.

3. Different cut of marks for children going into federal unity schools.

...Only to use them to favour the northern part of the country...They are never used for the southern part of the country. Would these foster the peace and unity our compatriots from the North and SW want? Would it bring the desired peace and unity the country craves for development?


“Nigeria’s unity can only be guaranteed when all its citizens feel they are getting a fair deal; when all its component parts are treated justly and equitably" Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar

There's a lot of insincerity and hypocrisy in these people and that's why they don't see any wrong in the way they reason.

omoharry:
really?

Of course. .. Who doesn't like good things

They should maintain the quit notice nah.....

Mba ana abara agu

Congrats to him.......
I really need this twin blessing thingy.

RIP to his soul. If he was truly a believer, i believe he is in better place now.

I guess his experience lately Nigerian forces has taught him a lesson. He should quickly join the Biafra train before it leaves him behind

Mizzile:
I'm sure some people clicked on the thread just to check the names..

You are 100% right

These are the people bringing bad name to Nigeria...

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/america-jails-3-nigerian-scammers-235-years/hree Nigerian scammers who befriended many of their victims on dating sites have been slammed huge prison sentences by a Mississippi court after making tens of millions of dollars from their schemes.
Rasaq Raheem, Oladimeji Seun Ayelotan, Femi Alexander
Oladimeji Seun Ayelotan, 30, was sentenced to 95 years in prison; Rasaq Aderoju Raheem, 31, was given 115 years and Femi Alexander Mewase, 45, got 25 years behind bars, according to a report by https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com
A court in the Southern District of Mississippi had in February found them all guilty of crimes including mail fraud, wire fraud, identity theft, credit card fraud and theft of government property. Ayelotan and Raheem were also found guilty of conspiracies to commit bank fraud and money laundering.
Dating back to at least 2001, the scammers were involved in multiple internet fraud schemes, resulting in losses in the tens of millions, according to the Department of Justice.
It claimed that they would befriend women on dating sites, establish a romantic relationship and then either get them to send money or have them participate in fraud schemes, usually without the victim’s knowledge.
The unsuspecting women would sometimes be required to cash counterfeit checks and money orders; use stolen credit card details to purchase goods; and use stolen personal information to take over victims’ bank accounts.
They were also apparently used to launder money via Western Union and MoneyGram, and re-package and re-ship goods obtained fraudulently.
A whopping 21 defendants have already been charged in this ongoing case, 12 of whom have pleaded guilty to charges involving conspiracy and 11 of whom have been sentenced.
The three Nigerians were among the six extradited from South Africa by US Department of Justice in 2015 to face charges of running a series of scams against gullible Americans over the past 16 years.
Fourteen others resident in the US were also arrested to face trial in Gulfport, Mississippi on nine federal charges, including conspiracy to commit identity theft, wire fraud, bank fraud, theft of US government funds, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The indictment states that since 2001 the accused, were part of a string of scams against Americans, facilitated by internet communications. These include the longstanding 419 scheme, whereby a massive windfall is promised once a small number of payments have been provided, but the DoJ claims it went much further than that.
The team was also accused of running romance stings to bilk the lonely of funds, shipping fraud, running fake work-from-home businesses, check fraud, and plain-old hijacking of other people’s bank accounts and credit cards to divert funds.
Global fraud continues to grow thanks to the internet and an increase in the use of both anonymizing technology and bots designed to mimic human behavior.
ThreatMetrix, which analyzes 20 billion annual transactions, blocked 130 million fraud attempts in Q1 alone, a 35% increase on the same time last year.
However, it is Europe that has become a major fraud hotspot. There were 50% more fraud attempts originating from the region than the US in the quarter, the firm claimed.

Actually I rushed in here to check something..... NCA reporter in the diaspora...

Life is something else . Anything that makes one stand out draws positive or negative attention to one, in her case it's positive. happy for her and her family.

SirJeffry:
Has there been any Igbo boko Haram member arrested? Has anyone seen any Fulani herdsmen speaking igbo?

That shows you how hypocritical, deceitful and insincere these northerners people can be.
