How else do we show to the world our trademark logo i.e. 'darkness'?

Check out the profile of this judge, Justice Joseph Olubunmi Oyewole who jailed Bode George.
Very impressive. Kinda rekindles my dying hope in Nigeria

The guy has used an idiomatic expression for what he felt should be those culprits' punishment.

We need to deal with indiscipline and corruption with a reasonable punishment hence some folks
won't desist.

rasputinn:
Since you've decided to tell the whole world how much your hubby gives you as monthly housekeeping allowance,you should also tell us how much he makes every month(and maybe how much you too make monthly),that way,we'd be able to "judge" him accurately.Why would you have nairalanders pass judgement on a man that maybe earns N20k a month(assuming that's what he earns monthly or even less),out of which he gives you N15K for house-keeping.

Your info is incomplete

BTW,your hubby is your hubby,you know how it is with you,him,your child and your home,better sit down with him and work on your finances and quit coming to nairaland to seek advice for your small domestic issue that can be resolved with candid explanation on your part.You will only end up getting mostly useless advice from people who maybe even don't have husbands yet(they may become abusive of your husband and may even tell you to fight him or leave him,do you want that) or some that have and they get N15K daily for house-keeping (all fingers are not equal,I believe you've been reading the papers and must have read of those bank officers and customers that defrauded banks of billions of naira,abi you no know say some of their wives and girlfriends dey nairaland here,you wan carry your innocent husband compare those ones no try am ooo) or don't you know also that there are some that get even less than your N15K monthly for house-keeping but they will pretend that they get millions per month and tell you that your husband is a devil,my dear,use your tongue count your teeth

Peace to you and your family

Good one there.

I bet the poster has picked the useful info becos i haven't seen her comment again.

spoilt:
15k? In these times ? He must be delusional. Just the mention of the existence of a baby means expenses!!!! Thats just the money for the pampers and milk alone.

Here comes another one with the 'mouth dysentery'  

Maybe he came on you harshly, but it's sometimes difficult for some men to discuss what bothers them.
One of the reasons he's telling you to shed fat is becos he loves you (IMO) or why do you think he dint just
dump you outrightly and go for a slimmer gurl. The way to show you love him is to 'try' all in your power
to lose those extra kilos. Moreso, this kinda accumulate when women get pregnant and they become
'iya apati' at 38. You wouldn't want that, would you?
Join a gym if you can afford it. If not, wake up early morning and jog around your neighbourhood. Also
check out some exercises on the internet for general weight loss and try to cut down on your fatty food intake.
Lest i forget, don't waste your money trying to buy slimming teas and concoctions. Good luck.

When has poverty being a passport to illegalities? See, as long we continue to
justify wrongdoings, the more we become irredeemably corrupted. A young
graduate (expected to know one or two things) falls for the cheap trick of being
swayed by drug barons is simply a 'mallo'.
Sorry guy, the law is no respecter of persons. You have so long (the sentnece)
to learn a simple lesson.

jodeci:
Guess u aint married yet,
I propose! please dont turn me down,i am right on a bended knee.

So sorry bro, i'm hooked! Better luck next tyme.

Ujujoan:
See all the broke people looking for economic wives! LOL

Hmm, you sure don't have the right words to say to save yourself. Being content is being economic in your opinion? Omase o!!

kanye West:
[size=18pt]Ujujoan is daft its as simple as that![/size]

A poster asked if Ujujoan is married? Is that a trick question or what? How can a daft Sh**t head like that get married? Who is the Stupid sensless brainless turd that would take her hand in Marriage?

kanye West:
Is the house wife a fool like Ujujoan? What does she want to use N15,000 for as house allowance? Do money grow on trees? Can't she get her lazy slobby ass up and go look for a job or something? I really hate Housewives! Silly retarded bunch of lazy animals that always want to cling unto a man like a leach after they start having children . . . pssfff!

Who is this pot calling the kettle black?

Any family living above 15000 amonth is IMO above average comprising mostly the young working class.
You will be surprised that some families live above 50k a month. And yet you will still find, families living
on 5000 and below a month. That's why i said it's a different ballgame which depends on the level of education,
job type, number of persons in the home, location and status.

One error women make is to discuss wiv their friends how much their husbands give them for housekeeping.
That has caused (and is still causing) a lot of problems for homes when wives will return home to demand for
a 'raise' siting the other family as example to the husband.

The key word ought to be contentment (cutting one's coat according to ones' cloth)
Shikena!

Well, so much has been said in the form of advise.
I will like to add here that money issues is a very sensitive issue and depends on what obtains in your home.
One thing you shouldn't do however is compare your home to another's (mayb your friend or neighbour).
If you list the items you purchase on a monthly basis (like someone rightly suggested) and show in just for him
to see that the money is not what he thinks it is especially since they (i mean men) do not know the cost of stuffs l
ike that (and do not bother to except when the wife is overzealous and wants to be unreasonable). I understand it's
not as though you don't want to contribute to the home but when your husband takes it for granted, that sometimes
hurt. Tell him exactly how much you spend in all (15000 plus the extra u put in) and lt him know you are willing to
support since you also earn some. It will make him appreciate you the more and I'm sure he'll say it.

@Ujujoan
I bet u r not married. Your comments are rude.

Nice site wiv a lot of flash 'efizis'. But too many clicks spoil the job (anyway i've always have an idea
that the flashier the site, the slower it gotta get, kinda like u sac this to get that).

God, this is baddddddd evil. Thnx poster for doing something about it.
I'll keep checking this thread to see what I can do to support as well.

Two sites wiv different functions.

Nairaland offers varied topics which gets you thinking fast.

Facebook however helps connect you with people you know
and who know you although it's being hijacked by traders of
all sorts now.

I love 'em both but sometimes the bickering on NL pisses me off

Kobojunkie:
So, how did the match go? Any updates?

Would like to know too. Is this match in collaboration with Daystar's Let there be Light?

Fhemmmy:
That is scary one

Goes with the saying 'Hell has no fury like a woman scorned'.

POSAKOSA1:
Aisha, likes to announce that she helps POOR children by writing 500 naira checks. I think that you should start walking around with a sign on your forehead. Do these children have flies swarming around their forehead ? Do they have big heads and stomachs ?

Haba, spare the lady! She's only trying to make you understand issues that you would not normally try to or bother about sef.
I really do appreciate her job. What greater love than someone to give of their time and energy to a young child who has no
hope for the future (and doesn't even know it).

@ Aisha
I bet the reason why Posakosa made that comment is that you have completely ignored the main content of this post. Really.

Aisha, I must commend your efforts and involvements in the care of Orphans and vulnerable children. I think however
that that is a different ballgame from what this post has suggested. As much as we would like to draw sympathy from
Nigerians to the issue of orphans/abandoned children and their plights, we ought also to be able to uphold truth, good
judgements, ethics and morals in our society.

I wouldn't claim much knowledge of orphanges operations and related statistics but I do know that most Nigerians would
prefer to remain without a child than adopt. Wealthier ones who have fertility problems would rather spend fortunes on
IVF.

Back to the issue of the post, ther's no commendation in the girls' acts at all. Let's agree on that first.

@jaygirl
what's your take on the topic? You seem to have no idea hence your comment

I agree dat black man's greed is excessive what with politicians stealing money that could last 3 generations.
Chei, it's bad. White men have lesser greed tendency becos their society has been built to support everyone
equally and they do not rever wealth.

Nigerians do no have much of a choice sef, what is the percentage of jobs available to the graduates or qualified persons?

@Aisha
Really touching story there. But I think the situation is different from the one the poster laid out.
This girl you talk about had a bf and they must have had an unplanned case of pregnancy. This is
quite different. The ladies in the post are willing to get screwed and carry pregnancy for their clients.
Anyone who is willing to do a menial task for money have got morals but like I pointed out, some
of these ladies just want to be able to paint their nails, wear nice clothes and even ride big cars
without doing any serious work except get a man to sleep with on a daily basis.

Nigeria is bad as it is. Some issues like this just makes it totally bad. Pray tell, are there no other jobs these ladies can do? For anyone
to accept to be slept with for money, such a one must have the prostituting tendency if not already one. This goes further to allow
conception and bearing a child. Most of these ladies want to live above their means and so will never be able to venture into 'little'
businesses such as recharge card sales, fruits sales, okrika and foodstuff or even neswpaper sale. I can never start to compare myself
with people who work in a bank if I'm not literate.  I should content myself in the little that accrues to me from my 'lil' biz. But no, this is
not the case as a primary sch cert holder wants to rub shoulder with a BSc or masters holder. Such a lady will do what ever to be able
to accomplish this. While pregnant, she will still be 'servicing' the men. I think it's an innovative creation of some prostitute, Arghhh.

I tried doing a little business of my own while still working in a company. I employed some people to
do the job. I had to close it from frustration because my employees never quite get what the biz
was about (or they never cared enuff) Most of them have the mindset of the yoruba saying 'oga ta,
oga o ta, owo alaru a pe meaning whether the biz sells or not, the employee's wage must b complete.
I decided to quit it for a while and think of the next line of action. I know for sure if I was not employed
I could easily run the biz and manage it better.

So, the decision to run a biz o get employed depends on the individual, the responsibilities the person
currently have and those will determine to a large extent which one you eventually settle for.  Most
other times, people try to raise money for their business by the paid job because some businesses
require some reasonable amount of capital.

There are advantages and disadvantages to either of them but i think the advs of self employment

are more.

I am now partly Ghana by choice. Congrats to us then. It was s gr8 match. Even with one man down?
Abeg God dey Ghana side. He actually left Nigeria for Ghana (seems like that with everything seemingly
working for them).

@poster
What kind of question is this? are you trying to challenge our sense of reasoning for nothing?

What has Yaradua done to make him fit for being reelected? Abeg if you don't know a right
candidate to vote for, I'm sure Pat Utomi is going to be contesting, he'll be a better choice, ok?

I hope u stay in Nigeria?

OMG, what is this? I hope children were not brought to that show o. They will not be able to sleep at nite.
Even some adults.
Crazy, really crazy

I don't think a two party system is good for Nigeria while at the same time the llarge number
of political parties we currently have is not suitable either. There should be a reasonable number
of say 5-10 max. That way groups eith similar ideals can come together into one. two will just
be too limiting.

Lagos cos it rocks with the latest news, items, events, in short LAG is the pacesetter for
all the other cities. Plus, nice beaches and places to hang out. Not to forget the abundant
job opportunities.

ekitikan:
The only acceptable reason for the break up of a marriage (biblically that is) is infidelity,if a man/woman cheats on the partner then such person should be dumped.but if we follow this principle most marriage would have crashed as almost all partners cheat on each other (especially the male) however as for me I can not leave my partner for any reason because of my kids I will only stop having anyhting to do with her (sexually) just for the sake of my kids I will go on with the marriage but no sleeping together,eating together and going out together,if she can cope then she is free to stay in the house for as long as she wants and i will do it in such a way that even the kids would not know except my partner voice it out.ofcourse there would be suspicion from people this i will deny and will continue to swear that all is well just for my kids course they are my life.all this na if the woman go sleep with another man oh anything short of that we would always work it out,and she should do anything to me if i go out of the matrimonial home to shyke another babe.

You must be a silent killer ekitikan. Just imagine your strategy. How on earth do you think
a woman will live in denial like you. Be in the same house pretending that nothing is up?
This is one of the reasons I would leave esp if the someone is you, emotional abuser.

May the souls of all those who lost their lives in this accident rest in peace.

With that said, the issue brings to bear again on what we need to do as a
people soon enuff cos if nothing changes, even worse incidences will occur
again and again. The crop of leaders we currently have are no good, so no
matter what happens (accidents for example) or what we say, they are stuck
in their ways.
Guys, it's high time o. Gear yourselves up for 2011. Register to vote, choose
the right candidate to vote for, record proceedings as as safely as possible,
play your part.

I wish the families of these Nigerians God's comfort.
