PoliticsRe: Nigeria Is Broke: NNPC Fails To Remit Monthly Revenue by emmatok(m):
Johndoe100: Yes, 80% of Nigeria's revenue comes from Lagos and the other Yoruba states. See parasites, small delay de don de shit for pant.
Fear catch them, see as gbawe just de stammer giberish in fear. No worry, we go still give una oyel moni. Parasitic fools.
What has this got to do with Yoruba or SW.

Is the SW the only recipient of the revenue?

I remember OBJ seizing Lagos revenue for months and Lagos didn't collapse.

What we are talking about here is corruption at the NNPC.

According to news we are getting, Pero Adeniyi, one of 2Face’s babaymamas, has been delivered of a baby boy.

Reports say that the child delivery, which is the third for Pero and six for 2Face, was done a hospital in the United States of America.

2Baba, as the 2Face is also fondly called, has kept the child birth secret but a source scooped this gist to the press.

2Face is presently in the US with his wife-to-be, Annie Macaulay.
This Pero is just too dumb.

She dumped her husband for TUFACE, and TUFACE dumped her for Annie.

Yet she continues manufacturing Babies for Tuface.

That babe isn't telling us everything we need to know to enable us make proper judgement. Do you know the distance from the nearest yoruba state to the East?

CareerRe: Self-Employment vs Oil Company Job: Which is Better? by emmatok(m):
consultmartins: Don't try to mystify the entrepreneurial process and make entrepreneurs look like gods. Entrepreneurship is not about brevity, or lion heartedness; it's all about recognizing opportunity and doing all you can to tap such opportunity. As for the poster, before deciding on whether to pursue a job or self employment; first ask yourself this question:
Why do you want to be self employed?
Don't tell me you want to start a business because you want to be the next Mark Zuckerberg; you have to do it for the right reasons. If you choose the self employed route, do you have the capital to make it a reality? If not, go and learn how to raise capital or better still, get a job and save towards your plan. And lastly, becoming self employed is not a good goal to pursue because in the end, you are still employed. Rather, i will advice you aim to be a business owner; meaning your business can run without your presence. I am an entrepreneur and there's nothing glorious about the process of building a business. In fact, we entrepreneurs work harder than our employees and we also earn less in monthly income than our employees. I know a lot of entrepreneurs that earn less than bank cashiers. But our hope is not in monthly pay; we are working towards building a asset that will continue generating cash even after we pass away. Just my two cents.
Correct.

Friends stand by each other! They don't tear you apart..i'd talk to her tomorrow after work,when my kid leaves for her holidays..xx Thanks u all
What planet are you from.

You are still trusting friends at this age? Seriously!!!

Every human being is selfish and they show it at every opportunity.

Since your wife has improved, just calmly discuss the issue with her, then watch her reaction.

Ninapha: Something tells me the man is telling you this either because your wife is refusing his advances for another "being Into" now and he fears she might tell you or he is an agent of destruction. Because its not in his position to make such confession to u especially now your family is restored. Please avoid him like Egyptian plague. That your friend is wicked in all areas. After "touching" ur wife he now comes up to tell u. What a wicked man. Well you already have the knowledge, discuss it with your wife first. if she agrees to it then you are in the best position to decide your next action. Don't forgive because people said you should only to make your marriage more miserable. Search your heart and decides what makes you happy.
hmm

Nice point.

That friend is up to no good for that confession.

Maybe he his OKAFOR'S LAW is not working on your wife, so he deicide to blackmail her by telling you.

2. Tell my foolish friend to come and get the rest of his 2nd wife's stuff in the house.


Jokes aside, if not that the friend had ulterior motives from the onset, a good friend would make her return to her husband's house that very night with the except if she had been abused by the husband.
AGREED.

Something is definitely not right!

I assume you are a lady, would you allow your 'adult' husband to go and stay in your friend's house for up to 4weeks?


The best thing to do is not to leave your wife in another man's house, you find a way to resolve the issue!

Ask yourself, if was the best thing, how come he is having these problems now?
You cannot force her to leave, since she went there on her own or what will you do if she insist on staying.

My question is why she decide to go to the man's house instead of her parent's.

Jay Alex: 2yrs ago my wife and i had an issue@home,i had to pay the yearly rent and had to get an operation for a torn ligament,the cost of both was almost same..I do not like to be embarrassed about my responsibilities so i decided to pay the rent and work for a few months and save for the operation,since it wasn't dire.My wife wouldn't have non of it,she insisted i get the operation first and from a mild argument,we really started having problems,we barely talked and she really wouldn't see reasons.So i did what i had to do pay the rent so i'd maintain the cordial relationship and mutual repect i and my landlord shared,since i wasn't feeling much pain or pressure from the knee.3weeks after my wife refused to pay our daughters school fees,which she took care and instead bought a new set of kitchen cabinet,she said that's what's important.That's when we had the big falling out..i was angry and furious and shouted on her,when i came back she and my daughter had gone to my best friend's house.I went there took my little girl and left her with my friend and his wife..after 4weeks she moved back in by then parents and relations had set in(the one thing i hate).4months later i got the operation,and since then we'v been good,best friends like always..a week ago my friend said he had something to tell me that's burdened his heart for so long,one he felt he owed me as a friend,i listened and after many starts he said he had 'touched' my wife while she held up with them,categorically they didn't sleep together,but then twice he said they were in each other..i left and havent said anything to him yet and my amiable wife never thot it wise to tell me all these while! The two people i love and trust apparently betrayed me..what do i do with my wife? Where do i start with her?
@ OP, confront your wife with the fact and try resolve the issue.

But trust has been destroyed.

I would have punched his face! angry



You start by getting the truth from her, only after that can the healing begin.

Your wife might have rebuffed his advances, and may feel she does not want to cause issues by telling you. However, that is no excuse as she should have told you and warn you about such a friend.

A person that can sleeps with his friend's wife can also kill that friend






Dear friend, what did he mean by this?
I went there took my little girl and left her with my friend and his wife..after 4weeks she moved back [/b]in by then parents and relations had set in(the one thing i hate)
The wife is an adult who went to live in another man's house voluntarily for weeks, so OP cannot force her to leave the house.

[b]The best thing the man did was taking his daughter away.

4 whole weeks over a silly argument. Both of you need to be flogged angry

Shebi you went and took your daughter; showing that the duaghter is more important to you than your wife. Koburu.

Dont blame your friend o! you people did not arrange your home and he helped you to arrange it for you. if the wall does not have a gap, how can a wall gecko get inside?

Sir, call your wife have a long heart to heart with her, forgive each other, learn ALL the lessons from the incident and move on.

As for your friend I dont need to tell you to keep a 100 mile distance between him and your family. Its not by force to keep friends!
NA wa o,

Are you blaming the OP for his wife's action?

Why would a married woman pack to another man's house over an argument, she should have gone to her parent house.

The OP did the right thing by taking his child away from that irresponsible wife and friend.

The OP should be careful with such woman.

Whose money is really floating the World Bank? How much money is contributed by people supporting her? Europe and the USA have an agreement in place for the Europeans to lead the IMF and the US to lead the World Bank. I highly doubt the republicans will be trooping behind her just to spite the democrats.

BlackPikiN: American publication, The Atlantic Wire recently published an impassioned piece on Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala’s candidacy for the World Bank’s top post. We have re-published the piece. Check it out below and please share your thoughts!
[size=20pt]

The Woman Who Could Break America’s Control of the World Bank[/size]

It would be the first time in history the World Bank was run by a non-American but Nigeria’s Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala stands a real shot at claiming the title. This week, two events dovetailed to boost the chances of the charismatic West African economist.




First, the discovery of controversial remarks written by Jim Yong Kim, President Obama’s pick, who, in the 2000 book Dying for Growth, praised Cuba for “prioritizing social equity.” Kim also leaned on quotes from anti-capitalist Noam Chomsky and wrote that “the quest for growth in GDP and corporate profits has in fact worsened the lives of millions of men and women.” Second, the unprecedented push Okonjo-Iweala is receiving in elite publications as her record is compared with Kim’s.





Okonjo Iweala
In the new issue of The Economist, the magazine’s editors give a full-throated endorsement of Okonjo-Iweala, saying the gap between her resume and Kim’s “changes the calculation” over a non-American running the World Bank. “Ms Okonjo-Iweala is in her second stint as Nigeria’s finance minister,” write the editors. “She has sobered up its public finances and injected a measure of transparency. She led the Paris Club negotiations to reschedule her country’s debt and earned rave reviews as managing director of the World Bank in 2007-11. Hers is the CV of a formidable public economist.”



No less flattering was he endorsement by The Financial Times on Tuesday, which touted her “real-world experience” of policymaking in one of the toughest regions in the world. “Her experience in tackling corruption would be helpful in the battle against the misuse of Bank funds,” FT’s editors wrote. “Her reforming drive has earned her credibility with the international community. That, and her charismatic personality, should help her to rally support for the Bank.”




It’s clear she’s well-liked but could she really break America’s 70-year hold on the bank’s leadership? “Yes,” says The Guardian’s Lant Pritchett in a detailed roadmap for her ascendancy to the presidency. Two major factors during the nomination process include the vulnerability Kim poses to Obama during his re-election and the threat of European leaders rushing behind Okonjo-Iweala.



One major vulnerability for Kim is, strangely, his qualifications. “Kim is a doctor and the narrowness of his expertise is likely to raise concerns among the bank’s big borrowers, given the array of issues a full service development organisation must address,” The Guardian’s Pritchett writes. He says “Critics of the Obama administration will seek to gain maximum leverage from Kim’s views on economic growth, opposition to transnational corporations, and praise of Cuba’s healthcare (and Castro as a leader).” The Economist also latched onto Kim’s credentials in today’s editorial. “Had Mr Obama not nominated him, he would be on no one’s shortlist to lead the World Bank.”



If that doesn’t put pressure on the administration, rising support for Okonjo-Iweala very well could. “For most countries, choosing Okonjo-Iweala vindicates the principle that the organisation’s head can be chosen on merit,” Pritchett writes. “She is clearly the best candidate for those countries that want a broad development agenda at the World Bank, which includes all the big borrowers and emerging-market countries that benefit from continued engagement with the bank.” And then there’s the awkward position it puts her opponents in. After all, does the president really want to be defending an under-qualified American when a charismatic, highly-credentialed African woman is running for the position?

This is bad for her world-bank quest.

If she is going to world-bank to fight USA, then expect failure.

Her position at the World-bank won't change AFRICA, cos the WORLD-BANK still depend on donors(US and WEST) for fund.
