I thing what you need to understand is: "the meaning of marriage". Because if you actually understand what marriage means you will get a better way of phrasing your question. From your analogy, I have not seen any legal consent mentioned. The issue sound like co-habitation.

Dont ever suggest I do not know the meaning of marriage. Atleast I'm enjoying one.

In my analogy, I stated how the lady was manipulated into AGGREEING to marry him (the manipulator). There was first an agreement and then a marriage. But she claimed some years later that she wasnt 'in herself' when she entered it. These are people known to me.

Lady, I really like ur response.

The ideas for most movies are gotten from real life issues and happenings. That is what makes them interesting and relevant.

This particular incidence happened BEHIND my house then.

Response please,

I am delivering a speech on this topic.


Your response would concretize my Speech.

The Lady in that story packed her belongings and terminated the illicit marriage.
So is that the right thing?
Where is the place of forgiveness? Wasnt Jesus KILLED yet forgave them? Is this issue more than death.

[b]Have you considered how unimaginably busy people like Adeboye are? These are people make direct influence on millions of people on a weekly basis. They impact more lives and are more popular than the presidents of their countries. Their presidents cruise in jets while they queue at international airports. Its not fair. These great men are booked in 3years and more. I.e If you check their dairies, they have booked almost every available time for programmes which entail lots of travels beyond the Nigerian shores.

I am highly elated that Adeboye finally agreed to buy a real jet. Nobody talked when he repeatedly complained about the physical harassment repeatedly meted on him whenever he travelled, at a time, they had to search him to the privates, drilled him with questions and other dehumanizing acts. It was on the media. With a jet, you dont need to say too much.

Can you imagine that the Ministry of Tourism recently released a report that the greater percentage of tourists to Nigeria are 'Religeous Tourists' that is, they come here to receive divine visitation-- to be blessed by men of God like Adeboye. In other words, Nigeria receives income on their influences.[/b]

So private jets are meant only for thieving politicians and crude business people that made their monies by embezelling what belongs to me and you.

Private jets are part of good things from God and should be enjoyed more by His children. I know how much my small church spends on welfare and charity monthly not to talk about RCCG, whose own should run into billions yearly. And these charity and welfare programme go unnoticed by the press but the one that they will be quick to publise is acquisition of private jet by RCCG.

The earth is the LORD'S and the fullness therefore. So it is better for sinners and children of the bond woman to enjoy what our God has provided to make live easy.

This guy I quoted is more INTELLIGENT than the so-called Nigerian professor who critisized Adeboye for buying an ordinary jet.

I am surprised that another website that looks exactly like Nairalist which happens to be called [nairalist+s] [exists]. Why on earth should some-one nest his own idea under the shadow of another person's idea? Why can't they form theirs using a totaly different name to create their unique brand?

After browsing through that (counterfeit?) site, I came to terms with the fact that there are some feautures that it possesses that the real one doesnt have.
1. Nairalist seem to carry the philosophy of Nairaland. Its like a mordified and simplified Nairaland. Whereas [nairalist+s] carries the Nigerian spirit. It bears our National Flag. Can you imagine?

2. Another issue is that the real Nairalist covers the states of nigeria while the counterfeit site (Niralists) covers Africa.

These are just 2 of my observations. I am placing them here so that the webmasters (whoever they are) can look into them and try to put them into consideration.

SapeleGuy:
Rebranding is a euphemism for propaganda and the last resort of those without viable ideas for progressing a nation. How can you possibly think that changing perceptions is the solution to the problems on ground.

If they are serious about this issue, Government should lead from the front and set an example in a few areas, namely:
1- Good quality healthcare for all - not just for leaders who can go abroad.
2- Improve educational attainment - last years WAEC pass rate was under 25%.
3- Truly valuing citizens at home and abroad - Goto the High Commission in London to sample customer care, you will despair.
4- Improve the infrastructure - it is not rocket science, give us electricity and water.

We don't need rebranding, we need action. Nigerians are good people, very patient - The French and Russians had revolutions for much less injustice. First, the heart of Africa, now this. Stop taking the people for a ride, their patience is running out.

MR POSTER,
THE REASON NIGERIAN STUDENTS FAILED WAEC IS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT PREPARE PROPERLY. NOT BECAUSE PROF DORA WANTS TO REBRAND OR BECAUSE OF YARADUA'S FAULT. YES, WE AGREE THAT THE EDUCATION SECTOR SHOULD BE MADE ATTRACTIVE FOR HIGHLY QUALIFIED PEOPLE TO BECOME TEACHERS, YET EVERYONE KNOWS THAT A STUDENT DETRMINED TO MAKE O-LEVEL WILL MAKE IT NO MATTER WHAT. SOME OF US WROTE IT FROM VILLAGES YET MADE THE NECESSARY 6 CREDITS.

HOW CAN YOU RECONCILE THE FACT THAT MOST STUDENTS NOW RELY ON EXAM MALPRACTICES TO SCALE THROUGH WITH THE BILLIONS OF NAIRA INJECTED INTO THAT SECTOR ANNUALLY?

REBRANDING IS THE KEY THAT WILL INSTILL SELF-RELIANCE AND CONFIDENCE IN THEM AND THEIR NATION. IF THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES OR THEIR NATION, THEY WONT READ TO PASS.

The question i'ld love to ask Prof. Dora are:

if Nigeria were a product,will she re-brand it?
if Nigeria were a company, will she re-brand it?

My own personal answers are

if Nigeria were a product, I will seek to improve it's quality not re-brand it.
if Nigeria were a company, I will change it management team not re-brand it.
Anything short of the above is like a Nigerian bank advertising on CNN or a Nigerian bank branding Heathrow's Terminal 5. It is waste of money, deception and an ego-trip.

I think she can ask the banks what their re-branding effort has done for them on CNN or seek to understand why countries like Cyprus, India, Malta, South Africa, Malaysia etc will seek to have a product to market before advertising themselves on CNN. As if to underscore the point, one of her team members lost his phone at the venue of the re-branding.

All the best to her in this effort. I hope she can silence those of us who see this as a waste of effort.

Nigeria is actually a product- a product of our collective actions, Nigeria is a company- a company of good people who still remain one despite all the horrors we have been through.

Your question as to what the banks' CNN advert did for them, my answer is A LOT!
How many of our banks are listed on the london stock? Atleast I know of 2 (GTBank and Intercntal) You cant achieve that feat being in the dark despite an effective management in place.

I promise those of you naysayers, YOU WILL BE SILENCED very soon.

I have reserved my comments since this thread started simply because deep inside my heart, I weep for the youths of this country who cannot see beyond the past. How can we come to nairaland to criticize Akunyili's project when we do not fully understand the new approach she is introducing into giving Nigeria a great Identity?

There is nothing that is not possible. Anything that is small enough to enter your mind is small enough to enter your hand.

I desire several high-profile projects to be achieved in Nigeria. The government cannot provide everything for the masses. The only thing it needs to do is to provide the framework or better put platform where investors and crazy dreamers like me can foist their dreams to reality. I know a wretched brigde buit in 1973 thereabout ^{before I was born} in Kogi state. All I need is the governor's approval to build a world-class suspension bridge and mount tolls to recoup my investments over 10-15 years. But this gov is not like Fashola.

I dont know why many Nigerians have narrow minds.
Is it not in Dubai an african city that the tallest building on earth is been built? Because of such giant developments, foremost world firms are relocating from america to dubai. A good example is Halliburton.
