He arrives!

Nigeria's President who nobody has accused of using public office to personally enrich himself.

The People's General!

He may be old, senile, slow or even half-deaf, but he isn't accused by anyone of illegally enriching himself with power, or abusing power.

His aides and party members are often a subsect of the Nigerian population - where the majority are culpable of one form of corruption or the other. So Buhari can't be rightly blamed for the actions and inactions of members of his political party or governors of States.

That is for the judiciary to decide.

Welcome President Buhari. APC 2019 - 2023; but please let PYO act a little more in the second term (because you are old and can't cope with the every second demands of managing Nigeria), as there would be no excuses acceptable for APC's failing by this time in 2023...

Do not have any sex in any relationship. Sex is reservered for married couples. It is for procreation, bringing new human beings into this world. This is a serious commitment. Sex outside of marriage is fornication, a sin.
So many have been decieved to thinking that sex is some fun activity to be had between any two adults. No, only married couples. Do this and spare the world of so many sad stories, scandals, heart aches, abandoned children, fatherless, motherless, dumped babies, abortion centres.
-
Do your relationship. Learn your lesson. Do not have sex until you are married and committed.

I like to be realistic and responsible. Religion is a matter of the heart, and entirely private too. That's where "Sin" is from.

I prefer the word "Crime" to "Sin" at least in the public place, when talking about aberrant character. Consensual intercourse between two adults is no crime.

Let's not judge each other by what is Sin in one religion but not sin in another. Let's keep that morality to our private lives and families. In the public place, let's go by universally acceptable rules of right and wrong.

Heck, I'm practicing Christian - and that's my private decision.

Have you wondered the gamut of sexual sin and incest that expectedly celibate Roman Catholic clergy get involved in annually, up to the higher ranks of their leadership - all over the World?

Wait, I'm also a Physician - and there are available records that 40% of women of reproductive age group in Nigeria have had at least one abortion. Let's be honest: The average Nigerian girl doesn't believe she is dating a man until he has impressed her as much as for her to agree to be laid by him.

It is wrong, yes, but that's what obtains with the average female - so let's do the corrections by applying universal laws, not private or conservative Christian or Muslim ones.

The Indians have millions of gods for example. All of them cannot have the same Christian or Muslim values.

What's worse? In our social lives of deception today, we've raised the economic bars of marriage so high. It costs as much as to contest to be local government chairman or start a small and medium scale business to marry a wife in many parts of the country today.

It wasn't that way when the bible was written, or even 200 years ago in Africa. Our attachment to such expensive ceremonies and demands from young men who have already attained sexual maturity is at complete variance with the biblical "It is not good for man to be alone" and the "If you cannot stay as a Eunuch, marry a wife."

Now, no school leaver can consider marrying. But how old were the biblical men when they got married to their wives? Some were 17 years!

Even to pay the church demands for marriage, aside engagement list, before registry - and you talk of "sin?"

Please let's resolve this challenge one part on top before the parts below.


Post Script:

By the way, all other things being equal, after all said and done, I agree with you.

What you wrote, which I "seemingly" wrote such a long response about, is exactly what I'll tell and teach my own biological daughter - but you see - that's private and family. Nairaland isn't "private and family" however.

gloria34:
This is y i hate to invest too much in a relationship, i only put in things i can easily let go of, i Dont introduce u to my family till u propose. Invest on Ur self, put Ur self first or u may end up regretting everything. my last relationship, i regret not calling it off earlier, thinking i could make it work

If you'll consider my perspective Ma'am:

I think people should go into relationships without a sense of entitlement. See your partner as you'll see your brother or friend of the same gender.

Give as much as you get, even if you are the female partner. Indeed, it may be better to even give more than you demand or receive.

Never consider sex as a gift or favour. Both parties enjoy intercourse and no party is doing the other a favour by having sex.

Always consider leaving a permanent positive impression ok your partner - and that has nothing to do with cash or sexual activity. Why? There would always be people with cash and sex - but there wouldn't always be alternatives with the positive character imprints you've left on the psyche of a partner.

To love another person is to open oneself up to being hurt, naturally, so there is no point guarding yourself perfectly and expecting the other party to win you entirely over. A romantic relationship is often a consensual arrangement between two adults who are equals in the eye of the law.

If we have been hurt by our parents and siblings, and sometimes, for the married ones, by our children, then people going into relationships must know the their partners might consciously or unconsciously hurt us at times. We must patiently continue to work at the relationship by communicating until the very end. That's how friends should behave. That's how families do.

Until communication breaks down irretrievably on the basis of irreconcilable character differences, each party must work very hard at the relationship A relationship must never be parasitic.

Finally, if a man or lady dumps a partner with a VISION for another with a TELEVISION (or car, cash, dress sense), such person would eventually watch the abandoned ex with a vision on his/her wife/husband's television in the fullness of time.

TBIZZY:
bad boy. Hope u always use life jacket?

Unfortunately, there is nothing like "Life Jacket" when it comes to indiscriminate sex.

Aside HIV, there are diseases WITHOUT KNOWN CURE that can be transmitted by sexual intercourse which aren't preventable by the barrier method (male or female condoms).

Herpes is one of such diseases.

Nothing beats having one sexual partner, most preferably a spouse. Yes, marriage can come with challenges, but it is possibly better to walk through (an often painful) divorce process in an unsustainable marital affair than to go on a capricious sexual spree. The term "playboy" is NEVER a significant plus - anywhere in the World.

Thats not a Ferrari F50, stop posting ridiculous news,. That's a car kit,. A stupid fake,.. If it was actually a F50, Ferrari would come pick it themselves,.. Maybe this screenshot would help,..

These is the manner of comment that make one [/b]fear[b] this very popular Nigerian website.

There is almost no Nigerian information that cannot be researched or 'busted' on the website - except those who have the correct info [/i]decide not to write, or comment[i] like I also do, more often than not.

Another fact is that there is also a lot of falsehood and ignorance on this website.

And finally, a lot of young people with relatively young, or inexperienced ideas on many matters they comment on.

TheGoodJoe:

Very nice information shared and your contribution is priceless. I hope the NFF officials treat these young ladies with dignity and respect. The threats to ban the ladies and officials will not make things better. As the head, Pinnick should reduce the fire than fuel it.

Please, do me a favor. Tell your NFF homies to please reward Amunike's U17 Victorious team.

I'll prefer "Please tell our Federation authorities, if you have the opportunity, to reward...

I am as ordinary as every private citizen.

Meanwhile, I can duly tell you this: Rewarding a team is the responsibility of the federal government, and not the football federation.

What the federation owes its teams are bonuses and allowances - in preparing them for competitions as well as during the tournaments.

That's why Buhari hosted and redeemed his pledged to the China 85 team in 2015 - and not the Football Federation, for example.

P.S: Rohr's salary is $47000, not 43,500Usd as I earlier wrote in error.

Hello gentlemen and ladies on this thread! Your patriotism, I mean all the regular writers, give me positive goosebumps daily. I doff my hat to you all.

You've all earned my respect. Please permit me to cup in something.

A few people here might know me outside Nairaland. I really ask a out of questions directly from the administrators of our football and our country's sports. My reasons are fueled by the belief that Sports and Football, if allowed to thrive optimally, would not only feed our people as a collective source of National income, but would contribute as much as 20-30% of our GDP.

Bosco, I'm sorry if some of my contribution bursts your argument, as I really appreciate your sturdy defence of your position; but in truth, the Super Falcons didn't return to Nigeria in the same flight as Minister Dalung and President Pinnick.

I have spoken directly with these men at the helm of our football affairs. There was a chartered flight - but it didn't cost 42 million anything. It was a private plane of a friend of the Chief. All he paid was operational costs - that's some money to the pilot and for aviation fuel - which in his exact words, was less than $4000. Now was this done with federation/NFF money? No. NFF hasn't received cash from the government since June anyway. In this period, they have played - and financed super eagles games as well as the Papua + Cameroun tournaments. Rohr's $43,500 salary has also been regularly paid. So ask how these men in charge of our football have gone about it.

Wait a minute, sponsorships have dried out as of today. Recession is hitting hard and companies who are indeed downsizing daily, have less cash for sponsorships. So you can imagine how these men are raising this cash.

Questions have been asked about the $80,000 AWC win largesse from CAF. As of today, that money is yet to be received by the NFF. Let's call to mind however, that it would first go into the FG's TSA before routing to the Federation.

In relating with the NFF communications department, I found out that the return of the AWC winning team is handled and funded by CAF - and not the federation.

You all know however, that the federation president, Mr Pinnick was on hand to receive them in Lagos on arrival and had sufficiently related with one of NFF sponsors, in this case, EMZOR Pharmaceuticals, to organise a brief reception for the ladies and they also received N50,000 per person.

Now, this is in addition to N500,000 received by each player just before the semi final game against South Africa.

Permit me to stop writing here friends.

ChikezieU:
hello, please I tried to email you but I wouldn't send. Please sir, if the condom happens to tore and the sperm is lost inside the vagina, is there any remedy to avoid the pregnancy.

I'm received this quote only today, five days after you tried reaching me. I hope that's not to late.

Yes, in instances as that which you've described, the medical alternative is the emergency contraception using the 'morning after' pill.

You could send a mail if that's inadequate. The email address is still functional and I still respond to requests and questions from all over the world for virtually free.

Regards!

I am a slim guy, tall guy but I weigh between 90 and 95KG. I mean.... i don't think being 80KG translates into being FAT or robust or BIG BONED or whatever adjective quantifies being able to wear extra large as a slim fit.

My God! This was probably the very first topic I created on joining Nairaland in 2007 or thereabouts. I was still in the university.

My impression and mentality has since changed.

My opinion: A relationship should be established with the intention of getting married. Understanding and tolerance is more important than size or bio statistics in order to get the needed chemistry that the eventuality of being married requires.

Best Regards!

OGAJosy:
the match is on 4th friday, Not saturday and is by 2.00pm not 2:30pm

gwadabe81:
Mohammed Yahaya was a very good neighbor and now coach a local team here in minna Niger state

Fatai Atere is in the United States where he went on scholarship after the tournament and settled till now.

The office premises of THE NATION Newspaper is on Fatai Atere Street in Lagos. They also got MON, I think.

Let's invite naptu and icons4u to contribute to this subject.

gibzzhd:
théy started thé âge cheating.

If you've not read the history of the China '85 squad or seen their videos before now, did you not read DeRay98 and AreaFada2's comments?

You need to download the videos of the Kodak U16 Championship in China 85 to appreciate what those Sebastian Brodericks-tutored lads did in conquering the world at that stage.

Mind you, aside playing W. Germany in the final (who were losing finalists at the 82 Fifa World cup in Spain three years earlier), they also played with only ten men for most of the final match. There was another player who had a huge bandage on his head for a large part of the match too.

Those guys were superb trailblazers and they deserve our respect. Stop crying age cheats more than it is necessary. Think wide. Watch the European basketball championship for U19s and see if the average African under 19 can dare to enter the court with age mates of his 6 years older brother's size!

Google the Euro Basketball U19 tournament of any year to see what I'm saying.

To buttress it further, you say we cheat. Let's agree. Asians are said to also cheat, right? So also have South Americans been accused. Ask yourself, why hasn't China or India or Zaire, for example, successfully cheated to win the U17?

Mind you, the Bwalya led Zairean side beat football powerhouse Italy 4-0 in the group stage of the Seoul 88 Olympics in Korea. A tournament Rashidi Yekini played for Nigeria in.

So, no be today African sides don dey win oyinbo but couldn't go as far as winning any World Cup before this team broke the jinx.

Hey hey hey, don't underrate Olympic football tournament. Fifa recognises the World Cup, the Confederation Cup and the Olympic football tournament as the three full global competitions...

Ghana followed later by winning the U17 six years later in Italy for their first before claiming it again in Ecuador in 95 after Oruma & Kanu's Japan 93 triumph at the same level.

To those who say the players largely disappeared into oblivion shortly after because they were over aged, I agree but not absolutely. Like AreaFada2 similarly highlighted, I'll ask you: Where is PABLO, the Spanish no9 and highest goal scorer at the Nigeria 99 U20 World Cup today? How about Florent-Sinama Pongolle of the Trinidad&Tobago U17 2001 fame? Le Tallec, the no. 7 nko? Please! Who knew Diego Costa or even the legendary Zinedine Zidane at 16 years? Let's treasure our history responsibly abeg!

The China 85 squad were glorious. Ebenezer Obey released the track "WORLD EAGLETS" in their honour. I've been trying to get to download the track from the internet for so long without success till now.

Please if anyone had the track, please upload it online or use drop box and quote me to draw my attention to it so that I can download it please...

I have a srt4672 strong decoder. I pay 900NGN subscription monthly yet TV3 and MBC 3 & 4 do not open. I barely have access to all this KanalD and sweet FTA that everyone is talking about.

Ngwanu, Emmaachile, any suggestions on what to install to blaze the FTA experience in this area?

I have dst* and Startimes but I hate having to subscribe maximally on two different pay tv. Startimes is the worst. One barely has any idea of whatever is showing. Their info b button doesn't work and they don't quote it on the screen like MBC does on mytv

Guy, would they also air the EPL eventually?

Death is however a debt we all owe.

I'm following this thread closely to read comments about this deified king of Ife in his lifetime.



P.S: KSA's hit track "Adimula mo seba" on repeat in my brain right now.

I'm happy to have found this thread. I'm a Peugeot enthusiast. Ikenna is my wonderful ally.

I however just picked an E39 525i BMW that I intend to resurrect. It currently has issues although it still moves.

I'll appreciate if I can get an Ikenna kind of person for BMWs to make this car beautiful again. I'll drop pictures of its engine.

I've also put a picture of the exterior of my kind of car too. The picture of my car here contains its plate number so I've opted to put up this one which looks really like mine.

yungboss:
hello Coldplay, wouldn't you love to join our whatsapp group...you could leave your number here...

Thank you for doing the needed. Grateful!

I'm in the process of resurrecting a jalopy BMW that I really knew so little about until now.

I'll appreciate if I get collegiate support from the group as I set out to achieve this in record time under the next ten days.

Update on my 3m dish
Cc: DrTee1, faithchild, safex

Could only track nilesat but the reports is below
Item used: 2 fuji stargold lnb dual output, local pan dish
Results
11938 v 27500= 60% best I could get
10992 v 27500= 97%

Still battling on east side. Hope to complete installation tomorrow. Note I had to bring in a more experienced installer for these gains. He adjusted my lnb handle to achieve this.

Faithchild, how is yours performing?
I will update with pictures tomorrow.

Interestingly following.


More power to your elbows. End result eagerly awaited.

Fisayo Ogunfuyi

And I dare say once again, as of this Saturday in July 2015 when I watched him for the umpteenth time on Startimes,

FISAYO, my man, OGUNFUYI is quintessential!

I kept clapping for him in my sitting room that my wife and daughter were startled as to why I was so excited!

EMMAACHILE:
Update on my 3m dish cc: DrTee1
The dish neck that came with my dish is 3 inch diameter wide and my pole is also 3 inches wide. I have some adjustment to make on the dish neck tomorrow.
See attached pixs
The dish neck has to be a little larger to accomodate the pole. The Pole is the galvanise pole type.

I am using a pole of about 2m tall because of the large number of trees in my compound

Thank you for the updates. I'm appreciative.

Would be standing by for more.

agenda1:
Plzz gurus in the house is there any way to watch TV3 Ghana on SRT4672?

Please what do they show on that TV3 channel by the way? It doesn't open on my strong too. I think we use the same decoder - or mine is 4762 It is compliant with the MyTV card which I also use and subscribe for.

Many people here have told me my decoder can't work with a patch and so many things seem quite impossible...

No tv3, no irib, no nothing for me.
