Go to Canada for an event to honour our veterans? I am smelling fish and idiocy here. Which of our veterans are we honouring in Canada? Which other countries have you seen go to another country to honour the first countries veterans? Only place I have seen it was the first and second world war. Or you men our veterans that fought the world war? No shame, plain and simple
naptu2: Misrepresentation. Simply repeating what I wrote and claiming that it is a misrepresentation. Must you always engage in contortion just to be negative .
He simply repeated what I wrote about the presidency being largely ceremonial, then he added some nonsense that I didn't write (he even included something that is false). He obviously didn't read my post 🤣
Hi sorry, I didn't mean to irritate you but your misrepresentation is where you stated the president nominated the chancellor. That is largely not true.
naptu2: Politicians are quite often divisive figures. There are people that passionately hate Donald Trump. They can't stand him and they hate anything that's connected to him. There are also people that love Donald Trump very much and think that he is a hero.
Sometimes this division can affect people's feelings towards the state. There were people that hated Goodluck Jonathan so much that they wished that the whole country failed just because of him, there were people that hated Muhammadu Buhari so much that they wished that the whole country failed just because of him and there are people that hate Bola Tinubu so much that they wish that the whole country fails just because of him.
Some countries have figured out a way to overcome this problem. They have a head of state that, while he has some constitutional powers, he is above partisan politics.
This head of state does not get involved in partisan politics, controversial issues or day to day policies. Therefore, it is hoped that all people can love and support the head of state because he or she does not make policy that negatively affects people, does not take sides and is a symbol of the country. It is hoped that the head of state can be a unifier.
This system has been adopted in the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany. In the UK the head of state is a monarch (king or queen) and in Germany the head state is a president.
These countries also have a head of government, who makes all the difficult and divisive political decisions. The head of government in the UK is the prime minister and the head of government in Germany is the chancellor.
PRESIDENT OF GERMANY
The Bundespräsident der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany) is the head of state of Germany.
He represents the Federal Republic of Germany in matters of international law, concludes treaties with foreign states on its behalf and accredits diplomats. Furthermore, all federal laws must be signed by the president before they can come into effect; presidents may veto a law if they believe it to violate the constitution.
The German President tries to stay away from partisan politics and political decisions except when absolutely necessary. Therefore, his role is mainly ceremonial.
The President of Germany is elected by the Bundestag (Federal Council, that is, the parliament) and the 16 states of Germany.
CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY
The head of the German Government is the Federal Chancellor. The Chancellor is elected by the Bundestag (without any debate) on the proposal of the Federal President. The Chancellor is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces during war, while the Defence Minister is the Commander in Chief during peace time.
The chancellor is the chief executive of the Federal Cabinet and heads the executive branch.

A little bit of misrepresentation between the differences of both political positions. But the president is a ceremonial position. It is the chancellor that names the president not the other way around.
Gistmedia10: In a display of love and appreciation, a Nigerian father surprised his son-in-law with a brand-new Ford Jeep as a wedding gift for marrying his daughter. The emotional moment has captured the attention of netizens, sparking admiration and conversations online.
In the viral video making rounds, the father could be seen handing over the keys to the tear-rubber vehicle while showering blessings on the couple. The overwhelmed groom was full of gratitude, while the bride, glowing with joy, embraced her father in appreciation.
The proud father, speaking during the presentation, emphasized the importance of supporting his daughter’s new home and expressed his heartfelt prayers for the couple's success and happiness. “On behalf of my family and my wife. I am proud to bless this union in my little way,” he said.
Social media users have since reacted to the video with varying opinions. While many praised the father for his thoughtful gesture, others humorously declared it a reminder to “marry right.” Comments like “This is the definition of marrying into a family that values you” and “I need to marry into this kind of family” flooded the comment sections.
Gistmedia10: Drama unfolded at a wedding ceremony that was supposed to be a day of joy and celebration. A groom reportedly abandoned his bride at the altar after discovering that she had visited her ex-boyfriend just a day before their wedding.
In footage making rounds on social media, the distraught bride can be seen weeping profusely as guests whispered in shock and confusion. Sources close to the couple revealed that the groom confronted the bride after receiving the troubling news from a reliable source, which left him with no choice but to walk away from the ceremony.
Eyewitnesses said the wedding atmosphere turned chaotic, with family members attempting to calm the situation while others sympathized with the devastated bride.
Netizens have been buzzing with mixed reactions to the incident. While some support the groom’s decision to end the relationship, others argue that the situation could have been resolved privately.
givedemwotowoto: Germany has a €1 billion fund they set out to invest in renewable energy, how does that relate to the title? Propaganda doesn’t build a country
No mind them. Germany that is in recession will dish out 1 billion euros to Nigeria? Jokers
He didn't secure anything. This issues has been ain the works, already discussed on both fronts. Reason the Germans came was to do the signing. Abeg make we hear word
descartes400: Such utterly disrespect from your wife!! She has done wrong, you have not! If you don't stamp your authority and take concrete and stern action to counter her physical and domestic abuse of you, bringing her to the realization she has caused harm capable of destroying the marriage, she will continue to dish out hot slap for every and any misunderstanding that might arise.
Your letting her action slide is not how to be and act as a man. Take charge of your HOME NOW!! Take action,act now, sit back and watch it flow like a boss....apologies to Aro1
If my wife dare slap me eeh... hmm, immediately, with the speed of sound, a Raphael nada forehand slap,followed by a roger Federer backhand slap and if she's still standing on her feet by then, I will conclude with a jet lee kick to her two legs. Nonsense!
spoken like a celibate jonser without a girlfriend. Am sure this one na virgin, in never see woman toto
healthserve: Take it easy Op. If you wanna talk. Hit me up. Marriage is my forte. And mending bridges is my ministry
You that would destroy what you don't know how it started. From experience if you get involved in a couples issues, when they mend issues na you them go carry find common ground.
healthserve: That's what needs to be addressed. Which one be professional counsellor. A trusted clergy or someone like you can mediate. As you've already initiated it. There negative energy in the woman and the man and they both need to remember how they stood before one another stark naked and have naked conversations where nothing is hidden and then talk.
The truth is the man I feel even in my spirit here is innocent but his actions projected mischief by someone who is overly suspicious. So the marriage of this situations escalated the issue.
Now the woman ought to have confronted the man, or the man try to calm his woman down use words to calm things down not trying to act masculine to douse that feeling.
They both have ego. That's their problem. One can't apollgise the other can't calmly speak to the other to get the peace it needs. Both do not seethe need to be open and mature in communication
I only see lack of defined communication pattern here but plenty ego on the side of the wife. Plenty. She needs to come down. She has abused the equality he willfully gave to her. If she needed information it's not by physical aggressive but by clearly talking with her partner. A word spoken in anger and another spoken lightly on the same issue will have different effect. She ought to know how to communicate with her partner. He also needs to find a way to communicate with her time to time to constantly assure her of no competition and then douse fears
E Don Tey I do marriage counselling. Thank you Holy Spirit.
Never take your marriage issues to a clergy esp those that ain't married cos they have no idea what to advise. Infact never take marriage issues to a second person talk less of 3rd person. Outsiders tend to destroy unions.
Curtis03360: I went for a discreet Sperm Analysis 6months after my wedding to my 3yrs gf and discovered I had a low sperm count(LSC) but the doctor assured me it’s something that could be fixed in 3months if I have the money to spend, I paid and used his meds for a month and stopped the medication because it was many and I don’t really like taking meds……I was going through Trying to Conceive(TTC) thread one day when I saw this simple homemade recipe a guy drop and also advised to retain sperm for a month or more before sex when trying to conceive and this is where it gets funny because I am the type that masturbates Every day the most I went without masturbation is 7days and I tried this recipe and mated with my wife even before the one month countdown. We went about our usual stuffs and when her period was late we thought it was the usual lateness that we would see the period after 5 or 7 days but it didn’t come and it was until the second month we discovered she was 5weeks gone. Now there is a twist, we did scan and firstly the doc said she could identify her sex but that she’s positioned like a girl and the subsequent scan reported a girl but on her delivery day, we had to opt for a Caesarean section (CS)because she doesn’t have the strength to birth the baby herself and she was the only one delivering that morning, infact we were the only pregnant patients being attended to because it was early as 7 and immediately the operation was done (which didn’t last 25mins) the doctor called me in and show me the baby before having a nurse clean him and to my astonishment it was a baby boy……it can only be God because I checked online and I read that it’s a very rare case for ultra scan to be wrong. A very replica of me, He’s 6months now and he’s just as I’m in everything.
Scan can be wrong that's why they say percentage certainty
sharpwriter: Not only USA.. It is in every western country. Few days ago, I got news from a first hand witness about one of my family members in Canada wey the girl she married dey show pepper! In fact, the lady he married from here dey beat am wella
And it was like yesterday (some few years ago) when they visited us at home after they had married. The lady's face keep coming back to my memories, because I wondered how she could be doing what she's doing presently: "Unknown innocent looking devil"
Na the guy take am go o... Loved her and gave her first traveling experience, now, she's become an insatiable monster. As in she dey beat the guy like no man's business and he dares not talk or retaliate. And she's from an average respectable and educated family.
People can be very ungrateful! Many people don't know the devils and monsters that they are until they are given power!
It's association, bad company corrupt good manners. There is a Facebook group where Nigerian ladies teach other ladies how to deal with their men. Sad thing there is that those ladies doing the teaching have all being divorced and are whoring around so I wonder what they are teaching other women? Sad thing is that some ladies take their words as bible verse. I know 2 Nigerian ladies that almost left their husbands cos of what rubbish they heard in the video. One of them actually made the mistake have extramarital affair from listening to peer pressure, her husband forgave that but she still never relax. Naija women are their own greatest enemies. Some of those that destroyed their union with their own hands can't stand seeing others in happy union.
irumole1975: Starting in 2025, U.S. passport holders traveling to Europe will need to apply for authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before their visit.
The new rules were set to go into effect in 2024, but E.U. officials announced Friday the rollout would be delayed until the following year.
While U.S. nationals currently enjoy visa-free access to most E.U. countries, this convenience will change once the new law is in effect. Similar to the U.S. Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) process, ETIAS aims to enhance security and facilitate smoother entry for travelers.
TheBillyonaire: That amount is very considerate. There is no labor charge there, which exist in some climes.
He got a good offer to be honest, I see no reason to complain. The expense is less than 2 month's of average rent in London.
If just bride price is costing 3.5 mil, what would the wine carrying cost? What would the trad wedding cost. Oh sorry did I forget the white wedding? All cost on the youngman. What is best for the family, that they marry their daughter themselves or that she is married off and in extension less responsibility for the family? We should think very well, that is not the way
What I hate about these men is that they are tongue tied and tight lipped about happening in the Biafra era and June 12. The only ones that have spoken, some tried to distort the truth and it's irritating. They should really open up on what happened. It helps to know how head were thinking then
Kelechi009: it’s hard not to call it nepotism. The guy is literally his son! Would anyone else get that kind of pardon if they weren’t a family member. Fair point, but presidents do have the right to pardon anyone. It’s in the Constitution. Maybe he thought Hunter was unfairly targeted or that the charges were politically motivated.
There’s a difference between pardoning a political ally and pardoning your kid. It feels way more personal, like blurring the line between public service and family business.
It is nepotism. But this move was made knowing what the next guy coming in would do. Watch trump pardon every evil miscreants who helped him steal power
Alakoriomo: Hmm. I won’t deny there are lessons here. You seem like a man that knows what he’s doing regardless. Lessons in here for me too. I understand better now tho. You can’t stop people from doing whatever they want to do, you can only protect urself
Exactly!!! The heart always wants what the heart wants. Meaning nothing you do would change a person that doesn't want to change for his/herself.
But a sane mind is a logical thinker. Meaning things become clearer when you think it though.
Alakoriomo: How about women, who despite how well their husband treated them (I mean we even have women that their husband had to borrow millions of Naira to send them to Australia for nursing degree lol), they still show these men shege? Should we also assume that these men treated these women badly?
I understand that 98% of women are saint and they can never do anything to bad to their husband (other than the normal cheating here and there and giving their husband kids from their ex bfs), but the rest 2% can be just bad, hope u know that?
Most women in Nigeria are heavily funded by their husbands who go out daily to work his ass to death, yet the usual narrative is that all men are bad.
Well. You’re in Australia, I hope you’re doing good to your woman? Give her enough freedom cuz lack of freedom annoy women. If she cheats , just apologise, and increase her monthly allowance. We will all learn some days. Have a nice day ahead
Lol, I see you checked my location. Sorry am not in Australia. I use a VPN that's springs here and there. If you check my location again it would show you another country, I like to keep things private.
Now back to the topic. Yes there are women that do what you said, but there are also men that do the same when tables are turned. There was a ninja man that came to the UK, brought by his ex gf via marriage route. He kept 2 side chicks in the UK and a family in Nigeria on the side after marrying the UK babe for 10 years. His oldest child on the Nigerian side was 5 so it was a new thing and the side chicks has children for him. Fine you would say that's an extreme case and you would be right but men are not left out.
Now let's take this to a private level. If you give your better half understanding, love and patience, give her everything she demands ofcos within limits of what you can do. Give her a home, children, comfort and security. It's rare to see that woman look outside only if she is naturally a wayward person and this is the truth. I know someone a friend of a friend that gave his all, everything but the madam was not content. There are also people that are insatiable and can't be pleased. I know another family like that, the man's wife is insatiable. Always demanding things to the extent he has to change her car twice in 1 year, thank God the man is well to do, a professional, has a very good international job. Have warned him though that things can't continue like that ans their is a tendency for her to misstep cos she is too flashy and her crowd of women are divorcée. His comment was clean and clear and he said and I quote "bros (that's what he calls me), yes I have seen it already and counted my teeth. She is an adult and I can't stop her". He said he will only do what's within his power as a man as her husband and nothing more. If she is not content then so be it, that's the door she can get the hell out. He said he or the kids won't suffer if such a scenario happens, he was prepared". That alone would show you the man actually knows what he is doing. He is playing a waiting game knowing what he knows. Ofcos I won't fight his battles for him, he has to do it himself.
So back to what I said in my last writeup. It is not what happens but how you handle the situation that matters. You can't gratify bad behaviour with gifts, you punish it. So if she decides she wants to open her legs for a man outside that's fine. She is an adult, let her do so. Just be sure she doesn't came back home after whoring outside and giving you the same pussy. It's just that simple. Still nothing wrong in forgiving and forgetting for the sake of the family and kids. One can do so too but that's outside the scope of this conversation.
Alakoriomo: . Your position here sounds cuckhold asf. But I understand. You probably live abroad (US, UK or Aussi). Literally no way you won’t turn progressive living in these countries for years. I can imagine what not having a position that sounds this gynocentric is going to do to you.
Well, you’re happy and convinced with your position . That’s what matters.
It's not cockhold or cocktail or whatever you feel you need to classify it as. It's rather the truth cos women though some can be fishbrained are still human beings and have rights. You can't force your ideology on them or anyone. Once you know and understand this very well the rest comes easy.
I know a man that tried to suppress his wife here. Did lots including locking her in the house and going to work, mistake or not. The woman dealt with him later na after tables turned and she became the main source of income. She did nursing that the guy sponsored and after getting her diploma and her residency papers. She showed him pepper. She didn't call police or thrown the man out of the house, they already had 5 children. She made sure the children respect their dad ooh though he stayed home and didn't work anymore cos of a back problem so she had to step up. But she would tell the man where to stand and he will go and stand there like a good boy. Respect women and fear them. But never take them for granted and make sure you don't maltreat them. They won't forget and will do back
Alakoriomo: Exactly. True! Don’t mind all these small minded boy. Obviously they’re not married yet.
Same way if your wife wants to go and sleep with another man, by all means, allow her. That’s what it takes to be progressive. If she brings home pregnancy from the result of her cheating, it’s your responsibility to take care of the baby and ensure the baby , your wife and the maon that is sleeping with her, has a good life.
Well spoken like a very naive child. But I will bite just for the fun of it. Let me reply the statements you made hoping to get a reaction from me. This is not politics so there is no room for whatever progressive or what not. Life is not textbook so you can't read it and pass it. Life throws curved balls at you and you have to learn to navigate those murky waters or you would be found wanting. If your woman wants to sleep around, that is between you and her to navigate. I mean there are open marriages or partnerships around so it's no more new. If on the other hand she gets pregnant by another man and intend and I quote it here intentionally intend to pass it up as yours, then that's another story. There has been a case or so of woman who got pregnant in a romp and was not aware of the pregnancy and slept with her man. Those things happen, it's how you handle the fallout that is important. There is no wise old man and life is not cast on stone. At the end of the day the person that decides is you. But that does mean that you would completely be a caveman and sit on her head. If you do that you would suffocate her and these Gen Z ladies can't take that, they would wish to breakout and then do exactly that thing you had been scared off. That is why you let a woman roam free, keep your eyes open but don't restrict her. If she sees she has freedom she would be more cautious and won't misbehave. If she does misbehave you can show her the door, after all life is too short to hold on to anything that lacks loyalty. Life is too short for rubbish.
nifemi25: That very day a lady talked about going to a gym is the day I will assumed she is no more responsible.. she can do all exercises at home with the help of Google and doesn't need to hit the gym .. even if she is holy , by the time those devil instructor touches some sensitive part of her... She might fall for the trap
That is not right. If your woman want to go to the gym, let her.
Ballzproblem2: The day my wife or gf wants to pick any stupid instructor wether male or female will be the end of the relationship,if you no fit work out for house forget it.
Lol, you can't force a woman's leg closed. If she wants to close it, nothing would open it. Be deceiving yourself. Another proverb for you would be this; you can't keep yam and goat together and expect the goat not to sample the yam
SyrusdeHansome: I just stumbled on this and I must confess that at this point I don't blame any man who deliberately doesn't wanna get married. 90% of women have the mentality of this woman. They rarely take responsibility for their wrong doing. Sometimes u just ask urself whether most women really possess brains.
Very funny statement. She can take care of the child on her own without the husband. He didn't sign that agreement with them
