We need to learn to be dispassionate and focus on issues at hand. We need not allow emotions to cloud our clarity of thoughts as being displayed by some people here. Having disjointed thoughts has never helped in problem solving.

The poster asked a simple straight forward question - Will any government in the world sit and watch a 'revolution' protest?
The answers should be - yes or no with reasons regardless of what had happened in other protests in the country.
Mixing issues with issues is not helping the poster who is seeking for your inputs. I believe as Naijas if we play down on our emotions and take issues one after the other, we would move out of the woods.

Now since u say "a democracy should allow a protest" and u say d Shiites and Tuface movements were tagged protests and not revolution, y then did d govt violently clamp down on d Shiite protests& also threatened d same for Tufaces planned protest?

My comment has nothing to do with the outcome from similar protests. My comment was based on using the word revolution for your protest or movement.
Now, if you want to consider the way protests have been handled by the government, then that's another topic. My response was purely centered on the topic.

My comment is with regards to the post - No government will watch a revolution but a democracy should allow a protest.

On your question? Both Shitte and Tuface's movements were tagged protests and not a revolution. Whatever happened in the cases afire mentioned is mutual exclusive to the topic under discussion.

U still didn't answer d question: "Which word did d Shiites use? Which word did tuface use when he was planning something similar?"

My comment is with regards to the post - No responsible government will watch a revolution but a democracy should allow a protest.

On your question? Both Shitte and Tuface's demonstrations were tagged 'protests' and not a revolution. Whatever overcomes presented itself from those protests had no relationship to my consideration of the topic under discussion. My take on this topic is exclusive of other events and similar protest.

Words are very strong- protests have been known to deteriorate to revolutions. But starting a movement with the word 'revolution' represents something else but peaceful and so no government will sit and watch.

There's a clear difference between a revolution and a protest. A revolution is a movement to remove a government or a system that's not working- think coup. While a protest is a display of grievances just to upturn systems or change certain policies - think picketing and placards etc. A democracy would support a protest but I wouldn't think a government will support a revolution.

Marriage may not be an achievement. But it's important one develops socially so as to integrate amicably with other people. Life is about social interactions and as human beings, we can't exist without these social interactions. Relationships builds us, helps us develop as human and proliferate. Marriage is just one of those social interactions and one has to develop socially, emotionally and otherwise to have a successful marriage and any other social interactions as well.

I believe marriage is hard and men sometimes just want to relieve some pressure. Most times, it’s a temporary thing and sometimes they don’t even remember the ladies name they are cheating with. It’s all about letting off steam. My thoughts.....

Love alone will not keep a marriage because the quality of 'human love' is pathetic and cannot alone guarantee a life time of happy marriage. It's temporary, it comes and goes, it's hinged on one thing or the other because it is frail, it should not be trusted.
I believe marriage should not be predicated on 'love' alone but on other virtues as compatibility, potential to work together etc. The love will always come especially when you have shared accomplishments and a mix of other virtues from your spouse. So God can lead you to somebody you don't 'love' today but will 'love' tomorrow till death do you part.
If you are married, you'd know how little 'love' alone does in keeping a marriage for long.
Cheers

Love is very erratic it never dies; it goes and comes back my bro, if you've loved her before, there is that tendency to love again. But when love takes her seasonal leave, something else has to take the stage; you have to hook your marriage on something else positive apart from love or else, you'll lapse into this mood regularly. And trust me, this mood will not encourage love to come back again in a hurry.
For me, friendship is a big deal in marriage. So when love goes, friendship takes over and for certain, love will show up again.
In summary, you need to nurture friendship as it's one of the major tool you need in your Arsenal to combat a broken marriage. Take her to watch a Chelsea match or to Barcelona- Spain if you have the dough. Man up bro, fight for your marriage it's always worth the fight. except...............

kuli kuli seller

Even though I respect the way anyone would feel about any issue, personally I believe that marriage is not overrated. The problem with marriage nowadays, are the people involved, we have so much drama, so much expectations from our spouses ( expectations we ourselves can't give), there's so much selfishness etc. If both partners in a marriage understand that marriage is about giving, not to yourself but to the other person, I think we won't experience what we have these days.

The age of the lady doesn't matter as far as he's happy, she's already 52 so all the signs are visible yet he takes the epic step, you'll never know what he'll pass through from the hands of a lady younger than he is.

@ Mudley
You've made your point, but please be less aggressive with proving your point knowing the poster's already gotten in too deep in this. Put some coating to the pill she's more likely to understand you that way.
@ poster, I would say for whatever decision you would take in this issue, please tread carefully.

A Successful marriage commences whenever the couple decide to lay off SELF and take on THE BETTER HALF

You can only propose to a guy you've been around with for a while. You would have known probably he's feeling the same way for you but shy. If you don't have these details on your finger tips, please DON'T!

I have a thing for FI-FI, my swtheart and you  nairalanders, you never cease to crack me up.

I need to avoid this misandrist as soon as I can.

tap that innocently then hug; all with love

posakosa:

Ok, let me be clear

1. the poster is not the saint he may be claiming to be; hence working mercilessly to portray the woman as a psycho

2. if the poster claims that she is a psycho, why let her talk to your wife. Isn't that exposing your wife to danger.


Is that clear ?

I would have to agree with posakosa
If your ex is as crazy as she's portrayed here, it would make absolute sense not to expose your family to her. But tell your wife 'bout what's been happening between you.
Then try to conciliate with your ex. It's easier now you ar both married than it would have been if she was still single.

@ poster,
I think there's more to this story and if you had issues with 'domineering ladies', you would have been on the look-out for ladies with such personalities and avoid them. Again, you would have seen these 'evil traits' you so much hate on your first date. My question is why did you still set sail with her amist all the warning signs.  

She is a force of nature. In a every bit of the word

U must have seen the tell tale sign before u , , but u ignored it

Shit happens dude

If you believe in Evolution, Love used to be blind but now she sees. Things have changed, what was love in them days is no more love these days. These changes in the way we perceive things including love has caused love to open her eyes.

Ani Lee:

btw, this thread leads me to think of reasons why women prefer sexy rogues to your ordinary John. I mean its simple, they are wilder, sweeter, dont cling on you and you can call them any time you need their services. And whats best, you aint gotta pay for it! They never say no. They even send a cab to collect you from your crib/office to theirs. This could be the main point. They dont stick around. Yeah. Thats it.

my point

yeh, we also want a little bit of evrything

@poster
- Why do some people prefer tokunmbo car to a brand new one - lack of cash
- Why would some  people eat at some roadside 'mma-put' joint instead of some fancy restaurant get a different flavour
- Why would water, electricity and other forces of nature seek for and follow the path of list resistance? Same answer for your question

I can't believe this dude

This is complete ,
Car stolen, shipped after car document verifications are made, allowed into another country, cleared, sold to an innocent tokumbo car driver, tokumbo car driver apprehended on the road, as stolen car is quickly identified (on the road). Car shipped back or tokumo driver made to pay again for the car, this is completed insanity. Stolen cars shouldn't leave the shores of these countries in the first place just to be identified as stolen on the road in naija.
