nevilbot:He was mine too. ![]() |
SunnyskyTG:You are a brilliant guy @Stillthebest. I just read every single comment you've ever with on NL - and putting that by your NL signature, I really think we agree on very many fronts. I'll like us to talk more and get to relate more, especially on social development as it affects Nigeria. Do you use Twitter? |
formular2002:You are an elder, and a wise man. Can we speak, please? I'll love to learn from you. |
johnie:Yes. I was indeed mistaken. Thank you. |
akinhanger:That's Baba Alayande, if I'm not mistaken. Then to Baba's right, behind is late Oba Festus Ibidapo Adedinsewo (FIA) Adesanoye, the late Osemawe of Ondo Kingdom with his wife, Olori Anike to his right in yellow headgear. On Chief MKO's left is his late wife Kudirat. |
new2012:Thank you. |
new2012:Now I see this is something else. Do have a pleasant day. |
new2012:You've got energy Meth, really, to dissipate. ![]() You can have the floor, senior citizen. ![]() |
new2012:Thank you Meth(uselah)! ![]() |
new2012:I'm having a hard time finding your cogent point. If and when I do, I intend to address same very politely. Warm regards. |
But what does Audu Ogbe's first degree have to do with this all, even if every other criticism is true? There are too many people who read a different course as their first undergraduate degrees before taking a different career trajectory in life. Too many. The current Minister for Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah earned a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1985. He earned a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Harvard University in 1994 where he was a Baker Scholar and Loeb Fellow.[3] He is a member of ICAN (1992) and became a CFA in 1997.[4] He earned Dean’s List honours in his MBBS graduating class at the University of Nigeria (meaning he was one of the best graduating medical doctors in his undergraduate class), and was awarded national prizes in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) examinations. (meaning he had one of the best qualifying results as a chartered accountant when he changed career). Enelamah worked as an Audit Senior and Consultant with 1988 at Arthur Anderson (now KPMG Professional Services). He later worked in the New York and London offices of Goldman Sachs in 1993 before joining Zephyr Management as an investment manager where he rose to Principal in the Johannesburg office between 1995 and 1997.[5] Enalamah founded African Capital Alliance (ACA), a private equity firm, in 1997 where he served as CEO until his appointment to the Industry, Trade, and Investment portfolio in November 2015 by President Muhammadu Buhari. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okechukwu_Enelamah Minister Audu Ogbe's work description is Politician and Farmer, according to Wiki. As of 2009, he was chairman and managing director, Efugo Farms, Makurdi. Even if he lied about people importing pizza from England, what does that have to do with his undergraduate degree? Reno was once in government. If they had converted Nigeria to Rwanda, not even UAE or Malaysia, in effectively handling the politics and economy, his party and principal wouldn't have been voted out of office. Finally, it may not be false that some Nigerians, the super noveau-riche, may indeed be importing pizza from England when they crave for it. It may be an infinitesimal fraction of our population, but it doesn't mean it cannot happen - for crying out loud. Didn't a Nigerian artiste release a hit track about travelling to a European city just for a meal? Sometimes, or often times, Politicians get abysmally low in going against themselves. Interestingly, they do all that to get the attention of the public. In their closets, they are all friendly and they respect themselves. This is a Reno who parades himself as a Christian leader by the way. Where did he read that Jesus did this? |
NickDamani:I wish to remain "clue marketing", as long as it leaves me with my honour. Advanced illogical impressionage = fraudster marketing. If that's marketing to you, a true society deserves no part of that. |
What! This picture is Photoshop. Did Atiku photoshop himself shaking Trump at the Garden? That would signal some desperate tactics! |
NickDamani:Thank you. Ifu didn't stand by what? She didn't assert what? The lady who kept repeating "I'm not lying to you" before the cameras! Her Instagram comment is damage control. Live before the cameras, she lied and even after Ebuka and everyone chuckled, she asserted her falsehood. It was aired only yesterday. For her to put up an Instagram post today, long after she told the lie. as the programme is pretty-recorded, and the plain face with which she eviscerated those lies (for those who watched it) means she is an artful con star - and shouldn't be trusted. The key to business, add the success of same, is Trust. Anything divergent from that is akin to fraud: intellectual or actual. Indeed, if 'millions' were buying the product, she wouldn't have had to lie. That many do not know whatever product it is at all is the reason the lie was identified in the first place. The first thing children should learn is honesty. The childhood rhyme is: Wherever you go Wherever you be Do not say YES When you mean To say NO In Proverbs 14:34, we read, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people". I am one person. Ifu is one person. You are one person. None of us has two heads. We are all regular people, ordinary single identities before our Creator, who would come in the fullness of time to review our lives. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvclAIoAqn-/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=7kb3fxbcb2nu |
NickDamani:Are you sure you are not Ifu Enada posting under NL anonymity? Come, have you heard the Yoruba adage "Ilé tí a bá fitó mo, ìrì ni ó wo" ? In simple English, it means, "everything built on deceit, no matter how tall, would easily collapse." Ifu lied - and it is shameful. It would take her nowhere far. Ever heard of Captain Strasser of Sierra Leone? Or any perenially successful deceptionist? It always come crashing. So it doesn't matter if the interest is from Mars and Venus, and not simply South Africa, that lie has robbed her of an essential virtue she needs in business: Trust. |
Congratulations Bayo. Keep making us very proud as Nigerians. We've got to continue to show the world that is some honour and quality in the Nigerian DNA, if we are allowed to exhibit it in a well planned and organized society. |
Eberex:The feedback information is welcome. Often times, people with fibroids can carry pregnancies which co-exist with the benign tumour that fibroids are, to term. It usually isn't a significant risk factor to getting pregnant. It often depends, like you quite rightly posited, on the size, number, location in the uterus, and other factors, really However, your NL ID reads that you are male, or is it my eyes? |
Eberex:It has always been common, especially in females who are of reproductive age and not 'exercising' the uterus by carrying pregnancy. So to answer your question, yes, women delay childbearing these days, for many social reasons. Meanwhile, the female reproductive tract 'expects' itself to be 'serviced' from as early as age 18! In fact, it is held by a school of thought that the best age range to bear children is between ages 18 & 22! It thus goes on to explain that many older women you see on our streets with big (distended) abdomens may actually be carrying asymptomatic fibroids - and not only, but coexisting with, fatty tissue in the abdominal region. As much as 50-70% of black females would have fibrotic tissue in their uterus at some point in their lifetime anyway. The difference is usually the size as well as the presence or absence of symptoms. Now, that's a simple way to put it. You may want to google Epidemiology of Uterine Fibroids', or simply 'Uterine Fibroids' - and you'll find more answers. |
PrettyCrystal:Who notices that it is the same hospital where the jaw mass removal that was also on the Nairaland Front Page yesterday? Same picture watermark, same theatre walls. This is a regular occurrence in our hospitals, really. Sometimes, a doctor or surgical team do as much as 4 of these procedures during a working day i.e under 8-12 hours, with barely any breaks in-between. |
ChangeIsCostant:That's Rev. Dr Martina Ariyo of St. Louis Hospital, Owo , Ondo State - in the picture. I can't identify the surgeon however. These are some of the very many needs for medical services that Nigerian practitioners handle - and they are all emigrating now... It is well. |
goldenboyofpsy:I wish I could share my email address or phone number, but such things are quite risky on NL. |
Daeylar:I must have written several dozen sentences attending to both genders. I possibly didn't wrote the exact sentence you wanted to read but that's not taking anything away from my intention or the message of my contributions directed towards both genders. ![]() |
Capensis:OK. I've learnt one new thing today: . A massage room is a necessity in my project. By the way, Mrs loves a massage - and I suck at it so badly, not because I'm not medically inclined to understand it, but because we are both tired after the day's work and night bath for me to resume that responsibility before finally sleeping! I guess she'll say a quick prayer for you if she ever gets to see this - the man who convinced Baba to consider massaging a priority. ![]() That said, there are good people in this world. People who are responsibly oriented in thoughts and actions at all times. There are people who are Christians and Muslims (I live by the Christian Faith by the way) or even traditional religious people - who live morally upright lives. Yes. It may be rare, but I've seen it. I also try to live the life. In the western world, it is more common than it is in Black Africa. Ironically, there is less focus on religiosity in the developed world as it is in the significantly-corrupt Black Africa. |
Daeylar: ![]() I hope you don't consider it misogyny that I didn't quote you. ![]() I couldn't picture and spell your moniker at the instant I was typing that. Yo are right however. Men have their own share of the immorality before marriage blame and I made no attempt to deny that in my comments. It was quite general, for both genders. Cheers dear. |
Capensis:Thank you, Sir. Kindly permit me to make a few clarifications. I think that your comments above, which I captioned as some strategic role-playing in a bad marriage are best only for a bad marriage and only for a short period. Indeed, they aren't sustainable on a long term basis. No man can pretend for too long. No human being, especially in marriage, can pretend for too long. Pretence and such deceitful existence are only possible in flings or short-term relationships. In that case, playboys and playgirls would excel. Also, I personally think that deceit, lies and such falsehood, while they may be fanciful and attractive, are usually unsustainable. To cover one lie, a man or woman needs another 7 lies and on and on. All structures built on foundations of deceit and slothfulness are but friable and cannot genuinely stand the test of time. the test of time in this OP's case is about 5 - 8 years of marriage, that's inferring or assuming that his last child is 2-3 years and he had been coping fairly nicely in marriage until then. so when you say that you could/would take all the women/wives of men who do not follow certain life rules that you have posited, I think you may indeed achieve all that - but for a short period of time. Eventually, the hen would come to roost and you would find all your strategy, where it involves fiction, lies, deceit and make-belief, to be castles built on sand. The scales would fall off the eyes of the woman eventually and she would either port or begin to misbehave - or the man would dump her before the scales finally fall - thus completing a circle and bringing everything back to square 1. In essence, I think that while I appreciate all that you wrote in your initial comment which I quoted, I think they are are possibly short term measures for anyone who has lost his job and found himself in a loveless marriage. It wouldn't work for, say Femi Otedola or Akinwunmi Ambode, for example. Where would you expect a successful business tycoon who has a very dutiful and supportive wife to expect her husband to massage her at home on a 300k massage table every day? Or to have sex and tell sweet eyeball-to-eyeball stories thereafter on daily basis? So in essence, I encourage everyone to be honest and live by upright moral values (at all times) to himself or herself. Deceit/fiction/falsehood might 'win' for a short period, but at the end, 'na' always "God (go) win." Yoruba people say " Ti iro ba sa lo fun ogun odun, ojo kan soso looto yoo ba." When literally translated, that means "Even if falsehood reigns for 20 years, it would take only a day for the lie to be busted and the truth would be revealed." Like attracts like. For singles out there, if you are good and conduct yourself in a responsible and morally upright manner in your doings, you are unlikely to marry a wolf-like character - except you didn't do your due diligence in dating, or you allowed fanciful things or some blind/illogical spirituality or some inordinate counsel make lifetime decisions of marriage for you. Let each man or woman use his or her brain. Marriage is some real deal and each person would be in it[b] alone[/b] with his/her spouse. Anything false/untrue/ingenuine/counterfeit, whether in character or action, would never stand the test of time - and it is always important that people planning to go into successful marriages know this. Don't ever go out of your way to impress a lady/man. Be yourself. For every woman, there is a man - and vice-versa. Who sang that song? Adekunle Gold "There is a woman for every man..." ![]() P.S: For the good lady who picked out only one line of the several lines I wrote to label misogyny, I leave that to posterity to judge. If anything at all, I fully believe in gender equality and affirm that men and women, husband as well as wives, are EXACTLY equal before the law - and the homefront and the general society should be run with that knowledge at the back of everyone's minds. As many rights and privileges as a woman has directly or indirectly, a man should be allowed to enjoy - and women with mental and/or operational capacity should never be denied any placement/opportunity solely on the basis of their distinct gender - and vice-versa. |
Capensis:Dear Capensis, First, i must thank you for taking time out to write out such bold thoughts of yours on a forum like Nairaland. It is impressive to read people who are knowledgeable and can put it out in nice language writing freely and for no financial returns. It isn't very common in Nigeria, as against what readily obtains in Reddit and Quora which are quite Western. That said, I wouldn't join the bandwagon of those castigating you. Indeed, my opening message of thanks is as sincere as it comes. I must tell you that I have saved your post as "Tips to surviving a bad marriage" on my computer hard drive. OP has made the cardinal mistake by marrying a bad girlfriend. OP possibly can not/does not/is advised against divorce as an option. SO what you have written for him are the effective radical changes and roleplay that he could consider in order to survive and live in an otherwise distressing situation he has found himself - and I fully agree with you if this is his situation. The first rule before going into marriage is DO NOT MARRY A WOMAN FOR ANY REASON IF YOU ARE NOT ABSOLUTELY AND OVERWHELMINGLY SURE you can live with her strengths and weaknesses, attitudes and proclivities for the rest of your life. Never marry a woman because your family or a Pastor said/advised (these 'Men of God' are often times modern day dibias/babalawos) or you feel indebted or obliged or feel the society expects you to. When the shit hits the fan, you would be all on your freaking own! But the OP has gone past that stage already now, and the preceding paragraph is for singles. For a man with three kids, he now must take a very different and careful course, and that is why your advice may be the best thing from the textbook of survival in a bad marriage. It involves a lot of role-playing, bending over backwards and ego-ripping, but it is possibly important to take one (or many) for the family, at least for the children. OP must now take the role of the wife and let the domineering woman take the role she wants/seems to prefer. It is a lot worse that he has lost his job currently. Even the best of wives might occasionally misbehave when dealing with a man who doesn't bring anything significant to the family's table. Women are weaker vessels that often do not cope well in the shoes of men. That's why the single men out there today must be very careful. If you want a good wife, you must prepare yourself too as a good bachelor. There are no good wives in those women you go to clubs and drinks, smoke and dance seductively with. You cannot catch a dolphin in a river, no. They are in the seas. It is the same way you cannot expect to meet the best of women at beer-parlours or clubs. What you attract is what you get. I have not written about Churches or Mosques in choosing a life-partner. All good and bad people go to Church on Sundays, maybe mosques on Fridays too. Attending Church on Sunday for most people is a part of their weekend ''owambes'' that begins with attending a Christian wakekeeping on Thursday, a burial ceremony owambe on Friday afternoon and the club at night, A wedding "owambe" on Saturday afternoon and Church "owanbe" on Sunday mornings before resuming work again on Monday morning. In today's world, values or virtue are hardly/rarely seen or perceived in the larger percentage of the church-thronging people around us - and they are in their millions! Women today are ''slaying'' proudly, whatever that means. Men are marrying semi-professional harlots[b][/b] from apps like Instagram et al. Men should ask themselves within the first month of meeting a lady if she ticks their boxes for a wife and mother of kids. Once that fails, then the marriage is condemned to be problematic - and these roleplaying changes may be necessary for survival in such situation as that which the OP has found himself until he gets a job and can command finances again. As always, women and money are usually friends. You'll rarely hear of the wives of rich African men threatening to divorce their husbands anyway. ![]() Regards. |
MissRaine69:Thank you for providing enlightenment on this dear. Dear all (who might not understand), It is a sheath catheter, otherwise called "condom catheter." It is quite different from the barrier device employed before sexual activity bearing a notably similar name but without the word 'catheter'. This article provides better explanation: http://www.healthtalk.org/peoples-experiences/long-term-conditions/living-urinary-catheter/condom-catheters It is often employed for people with urinary incontinence and it is usually safer than the intra-urethral alternative as it is non-invasive. That's where it derives its "condom" sobriquet from - for its similarity. Kind regards. |
deepwater:I simply didn't read the thread from page 1. Indeed, very few people could have done that - to read 300 pages before getting information that I directly asked from one kind person on the thread. Thanks dear. Happy Valentine too. |
Agbaletu:Thank you very much! |
MCeemajesty:Thank you. I just got to my Pc to see 7 mentions - and with so many negative comments - or were they cyber-teasing? It was untoward cyber behaviour from those who did that, really - as it was an innocuous question that was possibly explained better in my last comment. As to querying intellectual capacity because a simple question was asked, for those who did, it indeed tells a lot about such individuals. |
Agbaletu:Thank you Agba. You are truly agba[i] jare[/i] So kindly explain the 91 days thing to me. My thought was that it paid a lower interest rate because the TBill investment was locked down for only 91 days... S I reasoned it out in a Compound interest thing with the impression that once that matured and was returned/released, it could be put in all over again.. |
Agbaletu:Dear Agbaletu, I'm quite naive with this, but kindly clarify my thoughts. I'm wondering, why put your money away for 1 year (364 days ) for 14.5% interest when you can put the same amount in the same investment (Treasury Bills( for 91 days with 10% interest that can be immediately re-ploughed in for another 10% (interest + capital) this giving a larger compound overall interest when that is done four times (91 * 4) rather than simply 364? |
