God is not an assassin!

Guy you suppose dey preach for all the MFM people....... wey dey always shout, "fire come down and burn him and destroy him"
The God that I serve is a God of mercy and second chances.

You do not have brothers that can go beat some sense into his head?

and after beating sense into his head, they will also beat sense into his heart and make his manhood to rise at the sight of their sister.........Mtchweeee

You snoop and call 'imaginary' mistresses...... what then happens when the real mistress surfaced?
Like your hubby rightly pointed out "you won't do nadda if he chose to marry another wife".....
I tell women, build up yourself and know that you are solely responsible for your own happiness. Your husband is meant to complement you and you complement your husband. But when you make another human being your "chi" this is often the result.

I will be very happy if GMD or the prof can help explain away the 53 suitcases scandal of 1984. Even El-Rufai wouldn't dare go there because his statement in 2010 (during the build up of 2011 election) will be pulled up.
If there is a APC member who wants to try, I will be grateful. I think that is one scandal which keeps being a recurring decimal.

prof, abeg dey no teach you how to summerize?

If Buhari becomes president of Nigeria come 2015 Boko Haram will stop unleashing terror but then again the militants will take up arms and go back to the creeks making it difficult for him to rule.

Making it difficult for him to rule with the oil in their land.
Maybe he has plans of ruling with groundnut pyramid.

chrisbaba1:
[size=16pt]Its either the begining of a new Nigeria or the end of Nigeria as a nation. If buhari wins, it is the begining of a new Nigeria, if Jonathan wins it is the end (the nation cannot survive peacefully another of his inept 4 year leadership) Either ways it is all good (to be positive)...... My yoruba people will go our seperate ways, igbos go their seperate ways, determining our own destiny...... I guess all thing will work together for our good at the end.[/size]

This was the same kind of statement that brought Boko Haram to fully unleash terror on the innocent.
keep going on.

But d $2.8bn nd 53 suit cases isn't about been a thief

Can't you see "old things are passed away", our dear GMD has been whitewashed and Nigerians being the sentimental beings they are, cannot see any blemish.

akandea:
Yes GEJ misused his opportunity as President of Nigeria, so let see if GMB can convince of a doing a good job of leading Nigeria out of this cataclysmal mess Nigeria is in. Four years is enough time to do that, it obvious GEJ. Is clueless on how to lead this country aright or he isn't willing to do so.

Correct observation. But I still have my reserves about trying a well known Religious bigot and fanatic, who doesn't see anything wrong in pushing sharia to other parts of the country. A man, who sees campaigning in some parts of the beneath him (which will definitely be his undoing this time).

emiye:
in picking his own preffered VP candidate

Abeg, do you truely believe that Osibanjo, is Tinubu's preferred choice? After the gamble that happened with Bakare in 2011. If so then, I may have had an exaggerated opinion of Tinubu.

boban007:
I CANT BELIEVE ANYBODY IN HIS RIGHT SENSES WILL BELIEVE THIS CRAP.TINUBU IS THE NATIONAL LEADER OF APC AND HE IS STRONGLY GROUNDED.WHY WOULD HE CRY?HE MORE OR LESS OWNS THE PARTY AND CALL THE SHOTS.EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT HE IS THE MASTER AND HAS THE ACE.LITTLE WONDER BUHARI GAVE HIM THE VP SLOT.HE RE-BRANDED BUHARI AND MADE HIM SELLABLE TO NIGERIANS.IF ANYBODY TRIES TO BE A THREAT TO TINUBU,HE WILL WITHDRAW HIS MACHINERIES OR DRIVE THEM BACK TO WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM.HE IS THE ONLY OPPOSITION LEADER IN THE COUNTRY AND HE IS WELL RESPECTED BY BUHARI.WHEN HE WAS UNDERMINED IN 2011,JONATHAN CAPITALISED ON IT,WE ALL KNOW THE RESULT.THE EMERGENCE OF Osinbajo IS EXACTLY THE WAY TINUBU WANTED IT.IF NOT FOR THE MUSLIM/MUSLIM TICKET,TINUBU WOULD HAVE BEEN VP AND NOBODY COULD HAVE STOPPED HIM.BUT HE PUT PERSONAL INTEREST ASIDE TO MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD.NOT THIS PDP SPONSORED STORY TO UNDERMINE THE STRENGHT OF TINUBU.FEB.2014 IS HERE WE SHALL SEE.

I actually don't believe the 'crying' part of the story. But, I strongly believe that even if Tinubu wasn't made the VP, Osibanjo was the best he could have done. No naw. Tinubu na master, and he couldn't just bring a political novice to sell to Nigerians knowing fully well that he is finding it to even sell Buhari successfully.
you think am now.

omenka:
PDP is trying all what it could to sow a seed of discord in the opposition knowing fully well if the tranquillity persists, they are completely toast!!

It is now up to the opposition bigwigs to see through all these plots and call their bluff. We can't afford to falter this time around.

God bless APC.

hehehehe..... Please ohh I am neither PDP nor APC, but you know that some of the things said in this article make sense.
Moreover, Buhari needs to win over Atiku and Amaechi. National Coordinator was definitely not Amaechi's first choice.

hansad:
Who is interested in how APC does its things? Osibanjo shall NEVER succeed Buhari if by any miracle Buhari is elected president.

The SW has found an effective system to checkmate born to rule's insatiable drive for being the boss for all in Nigeria.

The system is this: every election year, the SW adopts the most visible of born to rule politicians as presidential candidate, claps for him as he campaigns, but on election day, SW voters ditch him on the polls.


Atiku and Ribadu who had cleaner political slate than Buhari was ditched, talk less Buhari with all the stains in his political record.

In the last decade, Buhari charged Muslims to ensure that extreme sharia laws are adopted by other states outside the 12 sharia states.
Shortly after that, Boko Haram took over to effect Buhari's charge to Muslims.

Born to rule dealt badly with MKO Abiola, overthrew Ernest Shonekan, nearly impeached OBJ. Once born to rule grabs power again, it shall cease it for donkey years to come.

Nice analysis. And I believe that this is the reason Tinubu wanted to be VP, to keep Buhari on leash. But having failed at getting that slot, I doubt if Tinubu wouldn't sell out at the "right price".

emiye:
This is one concocted script ...... Believe it @ your own peril

Concocted or not, the choice of Osibanjo does not strike me as Tinubu's best choice and Tinubu is a master in the Nigerian political chess board.

As a political heavy weight in Nigeria (even his enemies will agree) APC, nay Buhari should start looking for a way to make 2015 and beyond count for Tinubu. If not, I see Tinubu selling out Buhari again.
I have said it before and I will still say it again, "Buhari is not a Nigerian politician". Naija politics is all about horse trading and the highest bidder. Tinubu understands this very well, the same with Atiku and Amaechi.
It's high time Buhari started playing politics the Nigerian way, or he should be prepared again to be betrayed.

marvelousabah:
So what is the moral of this topic?...are u tryin to say u shoudn't go to sckul becs its not importnt

yes, don't go to school you will.be successful.

Yes, I have met them.

bukatyne:
I would also say that it depends on How the husband treat and regard his wife in front of his family. If a goes my wife is this, that, she cannot do nada in front of them, the wife is in for it. If the hubby tells them immediately that he will not tolerate disrespect to his wife, they will sit tight

this was what I was trying to point out.

IDOHOU:

A genius as a vice president

SAI buhari 2015 is sure

please check the bolded, maybe you made a mistake.

Abeg guys make una free Amaechi now...... una go this guy commit suicide oh.

TrishaP:
I knew it. Buhari no just get sense. He has just made his failure alot easier.

come na peoples general you dey yab

berem:
So what about it?

The fear of Amaechi as Campaign DG of Buhari is the beginning of political unrest in the PDP camp.

Sai Buhari!!

Taaa gbafuo there

oluamid:
People of your ilk will not vote Buhari even if he makes the pope his running mate.

Ol boy ehh!!! forget that thing. you wouldn't know how much I campaigned for GMD in 2011. The same GMD, I am bad mouthing now.
I may not totally want GEJ, but I know he is better than GMD. Buhari is wearing a mask, many are yet to see the man behind that mask.

adeaks:
I just hope this wont turn out to be a political miscalculation.

Deep down in your heart, you know it's a political miscalculation.

Gboliwe:
Hehehehehehhe. In the next few weeks, you will know him. When the noisemakers are done whitewashing him, you will know him even when he appears in your dream.
Buhari tried it with Tunde Bakare, it didn't work. Today its Ogbeni Yemi. No lele


Let's go there!

True talk Nwanne..... He thinks that he can win Christians over by choosing a Pasitor...... let's go there.

nairalife2013:
Fashola, the only man in apc with respect. There are many women there to, with respect also.
...to say d truth, others are all women.

Fashola, would have been GMDs best choice. But as a religious bigot, GMD could not see beyond religion. Who even tells him that Christians are even influenced by a Pastor being in politics?
Christian proved that by voting massively for MKO Abiola even though it was a Muslim/Muslim ticket. What makes him think that Christians wouldnt have voted massively again if it were Fashola?
Well, February 2015 is almost here.

Thisday states than , he GMD targets RCCG.......hahahahaha.

Shey, RCCG big pass all other Christian churches. Even, it is the G.O. of RCCG Adeboye, who is GEJ man.
This man Buhari, has not yet learned how to play Nigerian type of politics.

DIDIVA:
Am glad this is coming from you! So what do you do when you find yourself in this kind of situation as the wife Pls answer o!

Am married to a very wonderful & loving man...man of the people whose only weakness is his Mum. He rather prefers to avoid his mother when he gets tired of her persistent disturbances, switch off his phone & avoid her calls and when she calls through my own line, he asks me to tell her he's not around, instead of looking her in the face and trying to curb her excesses.
So what do you expect the wife to do Pls answer!
.

But meanwhile I need the answers I asked for & the solutions madampinkolo requested for as well.
#PEACE#

@ madampinkolo, I dey feel your pecking order gan. Chop knuckles!!! Its extremely difficult to love unlovely people. All you need do is face front o jari.

DIDIVA,
I don't have all the answers. But one thing any guy will tell you is that, it's best you let him handle his family if some kind of frictions come up in his marriage. Whether he will handle it to your satisfaction is another story entirely.
I for one, I hate anything that disturbs my Peace of Mind. So, I chose early to do the confrontation of a thing spell out things the way I want it.
.
.
Now, there is a problem with Madampinkolo's "face front of thing". The problem is, what happens if (God forbid it) the woman finds herself in real need of her in-laws help?
Assuming she gets into a very big fight with DH, and her home is being threatened by the very one who is meant to protect it. Who does she run to? who is in a better position to call DH to order of not the same family that she has been facing front?
.
or assuming DH dies early, but she already has kids from him. who will she be looking up to, to assist? yeah the answer will be her family right....well, I have seen situations where the man's family come to take everything their son has acquired after an early death.
I still suggest that in 'facing front', you shouldn't be so obvious. Because the man's family, still wields a considerable influence at least here in Africa and indeed Nigeria.

Madampinkolo:
^^^
Daddy eagleeye2,(E be like say I go change name ooo,which one is Madam?I sound like an old hag with thick glasses )
That's why i said profer solutions if you can..
.
What do you suggest they do?? That's the issue.
If my DH and I are drowning and he doesn't know how to swim,I'm going to save him.Or will I wait for him to drown?

Sister,
we learn more by experience. Either our own or others experiences.
my suggestion is my story, that is the solution I can proffer. As the only son, I love my mum dearly and I am still very close to her. I stay in the same city with her and visit her like 2/3 times in a week.
One thing I have learned and which you will agree with me is that mothers wield a lot of influence over their sons. In short, women can manipulate men easily and when that man is their son it becomes very had to make him see what his mum is doing. If you try to point it out to him, you risk being the very "devil" whom he should fear.
I once had a girl whom I very much like. The day she said something against my mum, actually she was trying to point out a flaw in me. I flared up. But after we broke up, and after series wandering in search of "perfect" woman for my mum. I realized that I will keep going in circles. It took just one day to hear my late fathers voice, asking me to make a choice and stand by it for me to finally figure out everything.
At that time I was living with mum, but I decided to get my own apartment and that choice was the beginning of regaining control over my choices and my life. It wasn't easy, I must tell you. There was blackmail about me being "her husband" and about me not abandoning her. But today, am able to manage everyone to my satisfaction.
Imagine I was still living with mum, and got married under her roof, which was the initial plan. It would have been coming back some days to meet a sulking woman (wifey) and instead of resting, I will be trying to find out what the problem is and pampering her so that the issue doesn't escalate. Cos I can't imagine living under mums roof and confronting her cos of wifey.
The point I am trying to make is that it is better for the men to tactically handle mumsie and other siblings, instead of allowing their wife to lead the confrontation. Cos family will always be family. I can shout for anyone in my family and apologize later, and they will forget because it has always been like that. But if wifey try am....... sorry go be her name.

Madampinkolo:
I'm glad you were taught how to save and will refuse when you don't have but when the man CANNOT say no just in a bid to avoid confrontation nko??
It is left for us the women to put our feet down and lay down the law simple!!

Madam,
Am not trying to belittle anyone's hubby. No. Infact, my wife may have been facing this type of thing if I hadn't fought the good fight for her even before I met her.
It may even have been worse, cos am the only son and the last. Everybody from mum, to sisters, to aunties to uncles, cousins and distant relations wanted to "help me get a wife". Thus, they are the only ones that have a working "definition of what a good woman is" and why I have to marry a particular girl, from a particular village (most of the time my village). It got to a stage that they were actually becoming a clog in the wheels of my relationships.
I woke up one day and decided to advise myself the way my dad (his late) would have adviced me. He would have told me to make my choice when am ready and by ready I mean being "Ready to face any consequences my choice brings me". He would have told me to first Please Myself, before I please any other person.
After that day, I read a riot act to every family member to let me be. That I was going to marry when it is time. And by that I mean no more match making. But some still tried, unfortunately I ended up breaking their choices heart. Mine was also broken a few times. But, the good thing was, I have control of my life.
When I eventually made my choice and got married, not everyone was pleased with the choice (initially) but they know better than to voice it out. Cos if you don't like her, well it simply means you don't like me and I don't see myself keeping a cordial relationship with you.
I for one know that any member of my family who disrespects my wife, disrespect me.
.
.
And when it comes to finances, why won't I be able to say NO. How can I please the whole world and displease myself. How? why will it be my wife that will be putting her foot down, when I equally know that we don't have enough? Whether it's my wife's side of the family or my side, I and my wife are one and we make decisions Jointly.
As young as my marriage is, we have started cultivating the habit of saying "let me discuss it with my wife/or husband" if it's her.
