THE SILENT PAINS OF A HUSBAND
Everybody is hung up on domestic abuse by men against women. Nobody spares a moment to find solutions to the equally devastating verbal abuse men suffer in the hands of their wives. It is worse because men can't discuss what their wives do to them for fear of scorn and derision. They suffer in silence. Timebomb.

Unfortunately, the Nigerian society has little or no support systems for this kind of situation. Little or no counselling services. It's been mostly left to the church to deal with. What happens when the man doesn't go to church? What happens when the woman doesn't believe in spiritual intervention? These women are raising daughters. Their daughters are hearing and seeing how they speak to and treat their husband. What kind of wives will they grow up to become? Those that treat their husbands as kings or those that believe husbands are nothing but verbal punching bags?

We've all agreed and rightfully so that a man has no business hitting his wife. So how then do you stop a wife raining verbal missiles at you? Leave the house? Okay. But you'll return and it will continue. What next? Leave again? For how long?

Recently, I visited a senior friend, an important man in the society and while we were downstairs gisting, the voice of his wife could be heard upstairs. She was spewing unimaginable bile against the man. She called him all sorts of unprintable names. Impotent, wretched fool, miserable man that was nothing when she married him, etc. This is a well respected man. A father of 4 children. She tore at his very core and mocked everything society respected him for. She said he'd soon crash and she'll be there to laugh at him.

I was so uncomfortable as I beheld the man. He was shrunken before me. He was deflated. He tried to gamefully continue the gist to distract me but it was not working. The woman's vitriol was a ceaseless torrent. Uncomfortable silence ensued. I excused myself and left his house.

I was really sad.

You want to know the truth? This is what most men go through in their houses. They labour and toil and build respect but when they return home, the one who ought to speak to the king in them tears them to shreds and tries to deflate their self-esteem. When they are outside, they try to act cheerful and happy but back home, they are shrivelled because the person they live with makes it a point of duty to verbally assault them.

A sad story comes to mind. There was recently a Nigerian Ambassador who was recalled because his wife released a story to the press that he beat her. She also released pictures showing fresh injuries on her body ostensibly inflicted by the man.

In a dramatic twist, their children came out to debunk the stories and said their mother faked the injuries to embarrass their dad. Grown up children.

A particular sentence by the 1st son saddened me. He said it was as if their mum woke up every morning with one mission in life: how to make their dad miserable. They said they were witnesses to how their mum constantly harassed and abused their dad and wanted the whole world to know that their dad was not who their mum was painting him to be.

Yes, opinion shifted on the scandal but the damage had been done. The Ambassador was recalled and nobody heard from him again.

A family is currently at odds with the widow of their son and brother. The wife was constantly verbally assaulting him. Nobody wanted to visit them because each time they were around, it was always quarrel and the wife would call him unprintable names. Even in their presence. When they try to interfere, she will give them their own. The man died recently of heart-attack caused by high blood pressure. He was in his late 40s. The family insists his wife sent him to his early grave with her verbal torments.

Our bars are filled with men who are afraid to go home to their wives for fear of what verbal torment they will go through. Men are finding every excuse to travel because they'll rather be anywhere than in their own homes.

Everybody is focusing on men as culprits in domestic abuse. Who is talking to the women?

1998 to 2022 same number. Do the math!

I am from the south east, but the presidential ticket is going to South south mark my words.

Definitely the PDP'S Presidential ticket is coming South.

These guys are just inept. Can you imagine, yes people borrow, but for what reason and what can you guys show for it.

Not a fan of Djokovic, Nadal is my man, but truth be told Djokovic is a very solid tennis player.

Mikehot:
Put money for house buhari bandits would come and rob it.

Put it in the bank buhari himself would go and rob it.


All kind of tarrifs have been placed to deposit, transfer and cash out yet it's not enough for them

Electricity prepaid cards have gone up (it doesn't last again)

Data has gone up (it doesn't last again)

Transportation fares have gone up

Rice has gone up

Fuel has gone up

Universities just coming from months strike (no certainty on what next )

Cable Subscription has gone up

Dollar rate against naira has gone up

All these tarrifs and yet excessive borrowing and nothing to show for it

Boko Haram, Bandits, Fulani Herdsmen are on an all time high

Government Nepotism at an all time high


People can't go to the farm for fear of Herdsmen

People can't travel useless roads for fear of getting kidnapped by bandits




Yet some are still supporting this government like they are not affected, you speak they shit blame on government behalf

You just said it all. this is just a clueless and wicked administration.

And so. it took you 8 years to become a billionaire just because your father in law Rochas was governor, you guys stole Imo state blind during that period, please how much was your salary as commissioner for lands and chief of staff. please go and sit down.

He who goes to equity must go with clean hands. you can't buy integrity. Many of our political leaders lack integrity and that is the bane of Nigeria.

Jamesbally:
We can never allow any leader from East hold any National position. If I lie, tell me who is the highest Political office holder from the East today? Senator Abaribe who is the Senate Minority leader, is the highest Political office holder from the East.

Eastern leaders should carry their style of leadership back to the East (bad energy, stay away).. And to correct one of your statement, the South South is not and can never be Biafra.
Quote me anywhere.

And who is interested in ruling this disjointed and disorganized killing field you call a country. Take all the political positions and rule forever, still the poverty index is his in the North. Don't worry you will get tired. I know where all the beggars is seen all over my city come from, yet you are in power. Continue!

Una for sell to Bayern Munchen.

Yeah they should do something about the idiot, it is quite disgusting.

EkunKekere:


Mods should do something about that idiot who is always posting pornographic content on comment sections.

Congratulations to the team, they should build on the positives, keep the team together and make small additions. The NFF should equally organize top notch friendlies during any FIFA free day.

Unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua's first fight in America will be broadcast on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Joshua's US bow on 1 June sees him face America-born Andy Ruiz Jr at New York's Madison Square Garden, a "bucket list" venue according to BBC Sport boxing correspondent Mike Costello.

The contest, for the IBF, WBA and WBO world titles, will take place at around 03:00 BST on Sunday, 2 June.

Costello said the 29-year-old's career is moving on to "another iconic venue".

Costello, who will call the action from ringside, added: "There are hallowed arenas across all sports that bring an extra dimension to a commentator's excitement and Madison Square Garden, especially for a world heavyweight title fight, belongs high on the bucket list."

Joshua's bout will be one of three commentaries on BBC Radio 5 Live, following Callum Smith's defence of his WBA world super-middleweight title against Hassan N'Dam and Katie Taylor's lightweight showdown with Delfine Persoon, where all four women's world titles are on the line.

Throughout the week, 5 Live's boxing podcast with Costello and Steve Bunce will deliver fresh editions on Monday, after the midweek main event news conference, following Friday's weigh-in and on Sunday morning in the hours after the bout.

The BBC Sport website will provide updates throughout the week, as well as a live text commentary in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Joshua has not been in action since his impressive win last September over Alexander Povetkin, where he took his record to 22 wins from 22 fights, including 21 knockouts.

Ruiz stepped up for the bout when it was announced Joshua's original opponent Jarrell Miller failed drugs tests in April.

Ruiz, who has one loss in 33 fights, has said Joshua "fights like a big robot" in the build-up, while Joshua has labelled his opponent "a great challenger".

Ben Gallop, head of BBC Radio and Digital Sport, said: "Anthony Joshua is one of the most iconic British sportsmen of his generation and his first fight in the USA is an event not to be missed. I'm delighted we're able to bring our listeners exclusive commentary of the bout on BBC Radio 5 Live and the BBC Sport website following the conclusion of the all-English Champions League final, making for an unmissable night of sport on 5 Live this Saturday."



https://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/48401502[/quoteAndy Ruiz Jr produced one of the biggest shocks in the history of heavyweight boxing to rip Anthony Joshua's IBF, WBO and WBA world heavyweight titles from him and tear up the division's proposed plot lines.
In a truly remarkable affair at New York's Madison Square Garden, Ruiz floored Joshua four times en route to a seventh-round stoppage which stunned this famous arena.
Joshua was a 1-25 favourite with bookmakers and will now join the likes of Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson as dominant champions to suffer defeats which brought the sport to a standstill.

Stealing is not corruption----- Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.


When he believes in the above assertion, how will federal govt claim be right?

GEJ was incompetent in all aspects of governance. He lacked vision and pushed Nigeria into recession.

I think I enjoyed his recession because I bought fuel at 87naira a litre unlike someone that promised to reduce it to 40naira a litre and ended up hiking it to 145naira a litre with its attendant hardship on Nigerians, pardon my sounding like a broken cord. GEJ's recession was interesting.

I had this pile, they even recommended surgery for me, my mother in law helped me cure it.I used saint leaves or nchuanwu in Igbo language. after your bath in the morning, take a couple of fresh saint leaves, crush them with your hands, while the liquid is coming out, mold them and insert it into your anus, leave it there and remove before you sleep, it will stain your boxers so use dark boxers, one week later you will never see it again, I did not take a drug for mine, also eat fruits in the morning, plus lots of water. it will vanish.

The remarkable thing is that when Orji Uzo Kalu was Governor, Abaribe was his deputy Governor and TA was Orji was SSG

Not true, T.A Orji was Chief of staff to Orji Uzo Kalu!

Atikulate I go

BlackManta:
I blame the coach 100%.

He got everything wrong. From formation to team selection.

1. He benched Iheanacho and started a lacklustre Ighalo.
Ighalo is slow and lacks composure. His decision making in the final third is wack.
He was very wasteful.

I dont need to talk too much about Nacho.
Everybody saw the impact he made and he made his presence felt within the few minutes he played.

2. Playing Iwobi on the wing.
A costly mistake. Iwobi is not a winger. He's an attacking midfielder. A no 10.
Why play Iwobi on the wing when you got a natural winger like Musa

3. Playing Mikel as a no 10.
Mikel is not an attacking midfielder. The no 10 spot belongs to Iwobi.
Mikel was slow and lacklustre.
He was one of the worst players on the pitch.
He should have played his natural position as a CDM or rather sit on the bench.
Mikel was the worst mid fielder on the pitch.
Etebo and Ndidi played better than him.
So much for being a captain huh

4. Benching Tyronne Ebuehi.
Tyronne is our best right back. He got pace. He can attack well and with his speed, he can quickly back track when Croatia start a counter or those annoying long balls.
Shehu was slow.
Moses had to back track and play wing back just to cover Shehu's ass.
Croatia targeted Shehu's wing many times.
Modric was always crossing long balls to the right wing and Perisic always gets the ball leaving Shehu on the back foot.
Next time play Ebuehi and bench Shehu.

6. Set Peice.

Nigeria is weak at set peice.
Our first goal was conceded from a set peice and the second goal (a penalty) was conceded after Croatia took a another set peice.

This is not the first time Nigeria is conceeding from set peice.
They did it against England.
Nigeria should work at defending set peices.
It is their major weak spot.

7. Lack of pace.
Our players are slow.
Ighalo is slow as a snail.
Moses was back tracking to cover Shehu's ass.
Iwobi played out of position.
There is ZERO pace in that team.
Our pacey players like Ebuehi and Musa were on the bench and that constributed to our failure as there was no one to inject speed to the attack.

Aptly put!

The body of a young woman was discovered in front of the Rochas college at spibat Akwakuma this morning. currently one of the mopol that guards the gate slumped and died there few minutes ago. His fellow officers refuse his pictures to be taken. RIP to the dead

This is really sad, if you as a mother noticed such behaviour in your kids, all you needed to do was to report them to people that can handle them properly, since the husband lives elsewhere, this is the result of broken homes, most of the times the kids suffer so much for it. the government should take the kids away from both parents they are a huge disappointment to parenthood.

Interesting times in Nigeria, between now and may 2019. lets sit back and watch them implode!

Arsene Wenger The longest serving coach of Arsenal FC of England, will leave the club at the end of this current season.

The killers of Supol Kingsley Chukwuegu will not know peace!

No thanks Madam Prime-Minister, it might work in your UK, over here and normally marriage is between man and woman as ordained by God Almighty.

Bolustical:
With all these, one would never see Dangote or wealthy Northerners from Kano brag about their investments (in billions)in the other parts of the country.

Meanwhile, ordinary gala hawkers and spare part dealers in 2*2 shops will be foaming in the mouths of how they are the richest.

Indeed, only empty barrels make the loudest noise.

wealthy northerners you say?, apart from oil or governor, what else can they do. the person in 2×2 shop sees hell before making any profit and should be proud of himself, not a lazy ass person whose only source of wealth is oil well.

What shall idiotic pigs of Biafra say now.
