escortafrik: I’m a lady in my mid-30s and life was going very well for me except for one thing everybody except me seemed obsessed with - marriage.
I have a good career, I’m financially stable, respected in my field, and I genuinely loved the life I built for myself. But every family gathering, every wedding, every phone call from relatives somehow turned into:
“So when are you getting married?” You’re not getting younger oo
Eventually, I met someone through mutual friends.
He was unemployed at the time, but that did not bother me much because he was intelligent, kind, calm, and surprisingly very knowledgeable in the same profession as me.
We connected deeply and for the first time in a long while, I felt like I had found the ‘one’
As our relationship became serious, I started helping him professionally too. I helped him restructure his CV, prepared him for interviews, connected him to opportunities, and eventually introduced him to my organisation when there was an opening.
Thankfully, he got the job.
I was genuinely happy for him because I knew how difficult things had been for him financially before then. And after he got the job, things became even sweeter between us.
And some month after he proposed to me ! my joy became complete! My family was overjoyed.
Then, just as our wedding plans were moving forward smoothly, the company we worked introduced a new policy stating that married couples could no longer work in the organisation together. Once two employees got married, one person would have to resign.
That was when the real problem started.
I assumed we would sit down and discuss it logically.
I have spent years building my career there. I’m more senior. I currently earn more. And if we’re being realistic, my position is more stable at the moment.
But my fiancé shocked me.
He told me I should be the one to resign because:
“I’m the man.”
Initially I didn’t take him seriously but as the wedding date drew closer, he kept pressuring me to resign !
I then reminded him that I was already established before he came into the company. I was the one who helped him get the opportunity in the first place. If anyone should logically stay, shouldn’t it be the person whose career was already firmly built there?
But he said it would be embarrassing for him as a man if he was the one leaving while his wife continued working there, that I could do something else like supermarket business.
Imagine !
Since then, everything has changed.
Wedding plans have paused. We now fight everyday Even his family are supporting him, telling me to resign ! my heart is broken.
Not just because of the job itself, but because I genuinely believed I was building a life with someone who saw me as an equal partner.
Well I have concluded that I won’t resign and I will also make sure he is sacked. No one should call me wicked because he is very wicked for wanting to do this to me.
With the kind of money he is borrowing upandan even after removing subsidy? Will u like tinubu to run ur personal business the way he is running Nigeria?
Teenaira: So, na Tinubu spoil your economy. Let us educate ourselves, Tinubu is just trying to save an inherited dead economy which previous administrations have being patching to look good.
And how is light situation now as compared to wen obj was the president?
neyop85: When someone like Obasanjo speaks you will know he is hurting with jealousy and hatred. This same Obasanjo ruined our power sector, 20 billion dollars was pumped into the sector without a single success story. Lagos-Ibadan expressway was left in complete comatose, railway was a mess, no single legacy project from this old man. During his time, crude oil was sold above 100 dollars per barrel and yet no single legacy project. Today, look at projects such as Lagos-calabar coastal road, Sokoto-Badagry expressway, student loans, free tuition and stipend for technical students nation wide, every geopolitical zones currently has major project ongoing. Yet, Obasanjo who had massive oil windfall couldn't even rehabilitate Lagos-Ibadan expressway (an exisiting major road). This man has no moral justification to critic Tinubu who is building roads from scratch. Obasanjo's regime wasn't disturbed with insecurity, not because he was excellent as a leader but because Gadaffi was in power in Libya and thus the sahel wasn't destabilized. Despite that, despite the security stability, he achieved nothing. By the time Tinubu is done, his successes will further destroy Obasanjo and label him a crook and thief for all to see.
Guy pls what do u stand to gain in this fake news u re spreading?
360degreess: ..I hope you,Santanyahu and Trump will leave till eternity? You are celebrating the death of a 86years old man that has ruled for about 40years...A leader will always be replaced. What's the big deal?Don't forget Iran is fighting two countries (US and Israel),but yet Iran is dealing with them wotowoto..
Ensa777: It was their LGA chairman who actually facilitated it.He visited Abia Gov. and intimated him of the plight of that community and worked tirelessly to ensure it came to fruition.
And their stupid local government chairman will be mimicking wike dancing style without having a meaningful developmental impact on his people

Alex Otti connects light to abandoned Igbo community in Rivers state. Umuora is one of Igbo communities in Eteche LGA Rivers state. For past 20 years they don't have electricity until governor Otti gave order to connect the community to Aba power supply.

KossyKiss97: It was NTA 2 Channel 5 that was the best those days in terms of programs aired and picture quality. People in Lagos can relate.
Meanwhile Channel 7 Lagos is not on the list. As bad as we however thought that NTA channel 10 was in Lagos, it was way better than Channel 7.
I remember with nostalgia those moments when we will sit in front of the TV a few minutes to 4pm waiting for broadcast to commence. Children programs such as Voltron, Super Ted, Muppet babies, Sesame street, Dodo the kid from outer space etc were aired during this time. After that programs like Speak out, Inter school debates, Story Land etc will follow suit.
From 7pm you will see programs like new masquerade, Third eye etc being aired.
Thursdays by 8pm were for soap operas like Checkmate, Fortunes, Behind the clouds, Pot of Life etc
9m for network news. By this time, only my parents would usually be in the sitting room. We children would be bonding and having our own play time in the rooms, dining room or the verandah.
Christmyhope: It is still fair, I hope it goes to #500 by the end of next year. Let support our president with prayers. There is no need for bitterness and hatred....
Imagine the audacity from the woman boss. The governor was even acting matured by laughing her off, the woman still get mind return to him for further warning. The thing touched me sha, but wetin man go do na? Na the kind country where person find himself na.
SixSeven: Excuse me. Can you stop this nonsense you do where you tag everyone who disagrees as this or that? That is bullying itself and you're not different from the Obidients yourself. Any contrary opinion, you guys find a way to call it names.
While he was singing or performing, Oluremi Tinubu approached the podium and told him to stop the music, saying something like “I’m giving you five minutes to finish your speech; the music is enough.” When he continued despite the warning, she allegedly threatened to switch off the microphone.
The “Office of the First Lady” is not defined under Nigeria’s Constitution and thus she has no legal authority to “order” a state governor at an event. Her office has no formal power over elected governors. From a social/ethical standpoint, many observers from the media, commentators, and members of the public consider her act disrespectful or embarrassing, especially given that a sitting governor was publicly admonished by a non-elected spouse.
This was a breach of good decorum.
Constitutionally, the Governor is not only in charge of the State but in charge of chieftancy affairs through the Local Government Commission so what are you saying? What has Obidient lens got to do with this? When will you accept responsibility and stop making up excuses like a responsible adult?
Even in my home town of oron, till today we have streets and major road name after guys like muritala rd, awolowo street, akilu street and others, but here in Lagos there will be changing others people tribe name to the host states
Who are those people and their area of concentration? To be jail in foreign land is a terrible thing. Bringing disgrace to your family and nation
TheStakeHolder: Let’s be honest, the people involved in this shady hustle has become too familiar in these headlines, they really need to quit embarrassing the country and c[color=#006600][/color]hannel that energy into something legit.
