Michellekabod2: i think I agree with ubunja here. Sex is the only power a woman have over a man, that puts him in her control,if you are in charge of it(and not it being in charge of you) ,you have some power to yourself. When you sexual drive equates his,them you are no more a master or the one in charge of the sex,you are both slaves then.
The op used the word "husband" but I believe the chasing of a woman should continue after marriage.
PS:this is from my own lens,don't apply to everyone though. Things are really evolving fast. But I think you should heed to this if you aren't sure your spouse has evolved Sex is only power if used as such. It is not the only power a woman has over a man and vice versa. It is not only women that can use it as power, men can too. |

The details of the deal are online and you can search for it. I read mine online to confirm after hearing what Trump said about it. This is the difference between most of us who Support Trump and haters like you that entirely depend on the likes of CNN and BBC to tell you what to believe. Don't be lazy! Search for the deal online by yourself, study it like I did and then come back here to tell me if what I said about the 14-day notice period is a lie. I challenge you on this!

nelsonoba: One thing I've found out is that almost all the people who hate Trump are people who don't study carefully before they jump on something. From your statement, it's very obvious you don't even know the terms of the nuclear deal......that is why you actually believe it was a good deal simply because Obama said so. Now, let me educate you a bit;
One of the terms of this deal says that if the Inspectors have any need to inspect any of the nuclear sites to monitor compliance, they must notify the Iranian authorities at least 14 days ahead of inspection date. Do you know the implication of that? It means the Inspectors WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CATCH THE IRANIANS WHEN THEY START VIOLATING THE TERMS OF THE RESTRICTIONS, BECAUSE IF THE INSPECTORS HAVE A SUSPICION THAT SOMETHING ILLEGAL IS GOING ON AT NUCLEAR SITE A, THEY HAVE TO TELL THE IRANIANS THAT THEY SUSPECT THAT SOMETHING IS NOT GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN IN NUCLEAR SITE A, AND AS SUCH THEY NEED TO INSPECT. THEN THE IRANIANS CAN SAY "OK, WE HAVE HEARD YOU. YOU CAN ALL COME IN 2 WEEKS TIME TO DO YOUR INSPECTION". THEN AFTER THE NOTIFICATION, THE IRANIAN AUTHORITIES CAN SIMPLY MOVE TO NUCLEAR SITE A AND REMOVE ALL EVIDENCE OF WHAT THEY HAD BEEN DOING, PREPARE THE PLACE TO LOOK NORMAL. THEN AT THE APPOINTED DATE, THE INSPECTORS ARRIVE AND THEY WILL NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. THEN THEY MARK THE IRANIANS AND GOOD AND COMPLYING WITH THE TERMS OF THE DEAL. THE INSPECTORS LEAVE, AND IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, THE IRANIANS RESUME WHATEVER ILLEGAL THING THEY WERE DOING BEFORE!
No sensible human being would attempt to catch a thief by telling them when they plan to inspect their property to ensure nobody is stealing at that time. It is gross foolishness to believe you catch a thief that way. But I'm sure CNN or BBC where you get your news from will not explain this reason to you, and they will be fooling many of you who are their "faithful viewers" into thinking Trump is stupid, Trump is an idiot and he just tore up a good deal that was working perfectly. Imagine what false information u are peddling. Am sure u believe this lies u just said? Pls give us a link or a PDF of the document where u for that information from. That is why I don't consider what any Trump supporter say as truth cos they wallow deep in only conspiracy theories without any concrete proof. Am sure when u send us a like, it would be someone's podcast or a link to a conspiracy theory pundit. |
Politics › Re: Buhari: We’ll Position Universities To Produce Quality Graduates by drnoel: 12:49pm On Jan 10, 2020 |
presidency: STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
WE’LL POSITION UNIVERSITIES TO PRODUCE QUALITY GRADUATES– PRESIDENT BUHARI
President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday in Abuja said Federal Government will give more attention to improving personnel and infrastructure of universities to produce quality graduates, assuring that education will, henceforth, be a top priority in development goals of the country.
President Buhari, who received leadership of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) led by Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi at the State House, said effective and efficient operations of universities will go a long way in improving the economy, especially with focus on science and technology.
The President urged members of ASUU to assist the Federal Government in realising the target of improved education and credible certificates by complying with ongoing verification and validation of human resources in the universities, which will guarantee optimum output.
“The future of the country depends on quality education and our certificates must be credible to inspire confidence,’’ he said.
President Buhari said constitutional provisions should be carefully studied and adhered to for more harmonious relationships, and standards that will promote efficiency.
The President directed the Ministry of Education to put in more effort in ensuring that Nigerian universities are properly funded, with adequate infrastructure and staffing.
In her remarks at the meeting, the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, said out of the 137,016 academic and non-academic staff members of the universities, 96,090 have been enrolled in the Integrated Payment and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), urging ASUU to encourage the remaining 40,926 members to comply with the process.
She said a desk has been opened in the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation for registration of university staff, assuring that peculiarities of the tertiary institutions will be accommodated.
The Minister pointed out that many anomalies were discovered in the university structures that have contributed to the increased cost burden, which include staff working and earning pay in more than one university, contract staff on payroll of the government, tax reductions on PAYEE and multiple employments.
Ahmed said some universities had rushed to recruit more staff before the IPPIS registration commenced, which was then detected.
“While it is clear that ASUU has peculiarities, it should be recognised and rightly accommodated, and the allowances will be made, and not leaving the university out of IPPIS because of the peculiarities,’’ she added.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, urged ASUU to comply with IPPIS in national interest as his office was already in the process of streamlining all issues of human resources in government.
In his remarks, the President of ASUU, Prof. Ogunyemi said the educational sector needed more Federal Government attention, noting that implementation of agreements over the years will go a long way in improving the quality of education in the universities.
Prof. Ogunyemi said:
“Nigerian universities can make meaningful contributions to addressing the challenges of the country (economy, security and corruption) if given the opportunities. Appropriate funding level, competitive conditions of service, university autonomy and academic freedom are critical to creating such an atmosphere.
“With adequate and effective education, particularly university education, Nigerians will be less susceptible to manipulation, our economy will grow and problems of insecurity and corruption will be drastically reduced,’’ he said.
The ASUU President said Nigeria could learn from countries like China, Malaysia and Singapore that have encouraged universities to drive their educational development through tripartite linkages of government, industries and universities called Triple Helix Principle.
On IPPIS and university operations, Prof. Ogunyemi said the Federal Government’s Visitor initiative to the universities, at least once in five years, was the best guarantee for monitoring accountability processes that include internal and external audit processes.
The ASUU President said the IPPIS will be a “disruptive intrusion’’, adding: “IPPIS violates the laws of the federation, violates university statutes, and violates agreements between the Federal Government and ASUU.’’
“The Government should welcome ASUU’s ongoing innovation of a robust system of human resource management and compensation, called the University Transparency and Accountability Solution, which will address peculiarities of universities and end inappropriate recruitments.’’
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu and Labour and Employment , Dr Chris Ngige, assured that the Federal Government was committed to improving the educational sector, promising to work closely with ASUU.

Romance › Re: Can A Woman Demand For Sex From Her Husband And How? by drnoel: 3:50pm On Jan 09, 2020 |
NwaAmaikpe:

A woman must NEVER open the mouth given to her by God to ask her husband for sex unless she was married from a brothel. Only a man does that.
As a husband, the day your wife opens her mouth to tell you that her kpekus is hungry should be the day you chase her out of your house because no responsible woman who was conceived from the sperm of an intelligent father and the egg of a decent mother does that.
It shows that she is a nympho. If she can beg you, then she can beg your friend too.
However, a woman who does not want to go through the hassles of begging her mother-in-law to help them draw up a Sex timetable can convey her preek cravings to her husband through non-verbal communication which is termed in BedRule 101 as TripleBL or 'Basic Bedroom Body Language'.
A decent wife who wants her husband's submarine to sojourn in her Bermuda Triangle can just spread her legs and plead with him to help examine a fictitious razor bump on the tip of her canal using his finger then gyrate her hips like the blades of a low-voltage powered blender while biting her lips like hard Suya as he does this.
Or she can roll from her end of the bed to his using his body as wedge but ensuring that either her Gluteus Maximus brushes against his 'Omenuko' or her mammary glands bumps into his hand each single time.
A real husband who truly thinks through his preek will react positively to either of these scenarios.
But the best bet for a stubborn husband who is unable to read the writings on the wall is to pray to God to send down the spirit of Conji to trouble him till he can sleep no more.
If all of these fails, she should masturbate or look for either a pastor, a neighbor, an ex-boyfriend or a colleague in whom she can 'confide' her sexual woes to. U are talking BS |

I do like Ur reasoning so far and u are actually correct in somethings. Though age is not wisdom but experience helps one understand things better and makes one less likely to be spontaneous. The kids @ubunja and @hardon show lack of maturity in every comment they post. Some of my older friends and I had lots of laughs reading some of their opinions on our guys night out. Their opinions are so funny and stale that one wonders at such myopia in their reasoning. Anyways on more serious note, one expects children of their ages to actually have such opinions so not all is lost. Am sure as maturity sets in their general outlook would broaden.

27Pushing30: Seems you don’t understand AMERICAN CULTURE ... in the US cuLture only Americans are allowed to kill Americans any other nationality becomes designated a terrorist and hunted down till death.
The late general ordered an attack that killed an AMERICAN... nothing happened
It emboldened him to order an attack on American embassy (SITUATED IN THE GREEN ZONE)
Imagine what he would have done next? Don’t think like a child, go and read history! nobody wants another war , nobody wants anotherwar Naxo them allow hitler collect lands that were initially redistributed after germany’s First loss
Nobody wants another war , nobody wants another war Naxo dem allow hitler fully rearm the German army and virtually overrun Europe until the fortunate events at Stalingrad and Normandy.
Nobody wants another war and that’s how Russia annexed CRIMEA and is actively trying to annex Donetsk too.
Do you know some of the things Iran has done so far? The oil tanker? Attack on Saudi’s main oil facility? Did America strike back? Killing an American is something else. It’s a red line
Whatever affects the US affects us! Only an adolescent doesn’t even know such, the AID, Grants, international airspace, oil supply, Forex market, internet access, business/finance etc
See just sit down abeg ... @fortunate events at Normandy and Stalingrad; I will remind u that more than 3 mil people died on both sides of that war. I don't know where u stand on this discuss but Trump's war efforts has to be curtailed if he decides to keep Congress (the other arm of government) at bay. The presidency doesn't have war powers, that power rests with Congress. Am not against the action taken but against proxy war Trump is fightit with his own people. |

Travel › Re: Nigerian Students In Germany..how Do You Survive?? by drnoel: 10:09am On Jan 03, 2020 |
0yewale: ON THE INITIAL QUOTED POST
Earning 450 Euro per month should be sufficient to keep you up (Housing - 250, Insurance - 110, Feeding - 90), if you are in normal German cities and not the advanced ones (Berlin, Hamburg,Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart etc.) and of course it also depends on preferences e.g someone that will eat out most times cannot live on 90 Euro for a month (anywhere I will say.)
There will be months where you will get those menial jobs and there will be month where you won't get any, it is not a given. Imagine, if you have gone three months without a job (menial or not) and the one that shows up next falls during your exam months .. will you take it and hustle it with exams? or you drop it and hope that you will get another or maybe go five months with a job? Regardless of whether the job is menial or something that has to do with your professional career. E.g I know those that cancelled semester(s) just because they want to go for internship/work, especially if it has to be in another city or state. Don't forget that getting a job is not a given (full time or not, menial or not), you have to seek and earn it (it is easier to say that I will only work full time during the semester break than anything .. ) This is the type of scenario that plays out in reality and why people often say combining study (relatively hard on its own) with work is very hard and as you can guess, people will make different decisions when they are face with similar scenario "as wetin dey pursue us different".
ON YOUR POST
There are jobs everywhere in Germany as much as there are no jobs everywhere... the questions are, are you qualified for the ones that are available (skills: language, previous working experience, ability.) in the area? . On German women (not sure I have the range on this though.), they are not so different only that we have different culture which means how we generally view things. e.g relationships (work, friendship, romantic etc.) is not the same just like it is different for both Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. Independent living is a way of life around here whereas in Nigeria it is more of a community living (where you know everyone on your street and they do same..lol.. here, you might not even KNOW people in your flat/building). If you are interested in crossing that bridge, you will need to unlearn, learn and relearn appropriately when the time comes.
In summary:
1. Regardless of whatever anybody will tell you here or somewhere else, how well you are going to enjoy Germany during or after your studies really depends mostly on how fast and well you are able to improve your GERMAN PROFICIENCY. Your previous working or living experience, your abilities and professional skills and also, whatever made you leave Nigeria. 2. The best thing (after God) that can happen to anybody moving to any of the cities directly from Nigeria, is to have and know people you can trust 99.8% on ground who can give and explain the realities to you before concluding on choosing any of the cities. The reason is that, the dynamics (work-type availability, visa renewal requirements, studying in the city, flexibility etc) is not entirely the same for each state/city even though there are similar education standards obtainable everywhere. Trust me, the experience of a Nigerian study in Berlin is not the same as that studying in Wernigorode or Kassel.
3. Whether you have/get No. 2. or not, you still need to adapt every info that you get (even the ones here) to your personal situation. E.g If you are married with kids in Nigeria and you are soaking in advise like that without proper evaluation from someone who is single and they are still sending money from Nigeria.. OYO oo because the fact is, your realities are not 100% the same. We all don't have the same experience, skills and abilities. This might be weird but as you come in, try as much as possible to get in touch with (if any) fellow Nigerians (that you can trust one another) and form a relationship with those that you are sure you have similar objectives or from similar "background". The Nigerian community is still relatively minute in Germany compare to other nationalities (my observation) and also varies from one city to another, and trying to figure out everything, getting all information, all by yourself might just literally kill you. 4. I know it is easy to cast the blame that Nigerians are terrible blah blah blah, poor at accommodating others, always hiding information, selfish etc.. when you sef land and you face the realities on ground ..you can choose to do as it pleases you.. we are all product of our experiences , I can only wish you nothing but that you only have good ones. 5. This might look funny, You cannot do every available menial jobs oo ... forget the 'pseudo' hustling spirit you think you have in Nigeria, menial job here is HARD (physically and mentally).. so please know your limit o, don't come and kill yourself in Deutschland and please again, don't think you can work hard like Germans or other Europeans.. just make sure you are always putting in your best (at least until you properly fit in) and again, PLEASE KNOW YOUR LIMIT. 6. Heheh .. you can't really save your BA o, like you want that 8 or 10k to still remain like that? ...(I am not saying it is impossible o but but... ) chai.. this is getting longer than I wanted ... Regardless, Germany is a great land, the question is, are you ready for what is about to hit you ? Bro, your advice was terrible in some places but seem fine in other places. Maybe it is time some Nigerian Germans open a thread about life in Germany as an immigrant. This could help deflect the disparity between studentship and those already living legally in Germany |

Anyways there is no playbook to identify who is good or bad. Being good or bad is not gender or racial or ethnic related, anyone thinking so is just being plain rascist, ethnophobic or sexist. There are just do's and don'ts, nothing more. Noone knows it all but we all have to learn to read our surroundings and make a clear decision how to handle each situation as it presents itself.
