Hi bro just listen to me. I was there about a year ago and I want you to listen to me clearly. DO NOT DO IT. The girl I dated then was what you described as beauty personified. I really love her but cos I am against pre marital sex and encouraged her for us to wait and that if I have waited for 32 years we can just wait alittle more to our wedding. She later told me she can't wait any longer and I let her go. Now I was reliable informed that even why she was pretending to be waiting for me most of the nights I call her she was even sleeping with another guy who later called me to apologise that she was always with her when we talk on phone. She is serving now and I just hope per chance its not the same girl your talking about. Just stand firm and even if she walks be cool you will surely get who Worth's your time trust me. Conditional loves is not the best. My word my opinion. Cheers

ifymagik:
Hello Everyone, I seriously need your advice on this issue because am very confused. Here is my Story. I am in love with this girl that I met during NYSC, although it took some time for her to accept me but she eventually did. I have studied her closely and I see the qualities that I want in a woman in her, and so I intend to settle with her but there is a challenge. I am strongly against Sex before marriage and so the relationship has been Sex-free. But recently she said she could no longer take it, she said she want us to hav sex or I should not blame her if she gets it elsewhere because according to her she has exceeded her endurance limit. I am Confused, I don't know what to do. I really love her and I don't wanna loose her but I can't go against my personal principle. Help a Brother plz I nid your advice.

Do you have a younger sister? I already earn very high as a medical doctor but I need a woman with your kind of brain...

nikkygal:
Been there done that! When I met my hubby, I was already earning more than 3 times his salary...but one of the things that attracted me to him was the fact that he was very secure and never felt threatened by that. As a matter if fact, he seemed very proud of my achievements at such a young age and always handy to provide advice or support ...I married him particularly because of that singular trait amongst others because I had seen many other guys that were either just intimidated or just wanted a complementary meal ticket...

Fastforward a few yrs later, the Mr resigned from his job and moved into business like he's always wanted from time. I was scared initially of what the future held,however, I put in a good chunk of my savings there, prayed hard and now story has changed..Even with my increased income, my guy is 'doing almost twice' of mine and controlling so much that it all seems surreal.

My inlaws initially were wary of our marriage and thought I might be bossy & domineering, I guess they now know better.... Of course my MIL is now particularly glad since her son's levels have changed now and she can now brag about so much....lol! But it's all good even though I & the hubby know the "koko" of our story...
These days, we just plan the finances together and make sure we remain transparent and united even in executing our plans. He always thanks me for believing in him and actually 'investing' in his dream. Honestly, I appreciate him more because I know the kind of marital issues a lot of my female colleagues face at home due to their superior earning power. As a lot of your actions are mis-construed easily to mean that you're bragging because you're the one paying the major bills.

I'll say it's tough for women earning more than their spouses because more often not, men have the tendency to get easily intimidated by their spouses. For men that see money as a control tool, the marriage will remain turbulent as the woman will always be seen as threatening the husband's position as the head.
Some wives have also attempted severally to help their spouses financially, but they just squander all the money on frivolities. That's one of the things that makes women buy properties in secret and make under-G investments so as to secure her future with the kids..It's a catch22 situation for women...ko easy rara!

How did you know it was her? How do you still know she is the right one for you? What was it about her that made you want to marry her? Depending on the context, married couples have probably been asked these questions at some point or another in reference to why they got married. The questions may have come from a child, friend, cousin or a number of other sources.
Every marriage has a story of how it came to be. But after the initial newlywed bliss wears off, it is important to remember why you want to be together.

Here are five ways to remind him that you really are the
best choice he ever made:

1. His weaknesses
You love him despite his weaknesses. You have patience with him as he is trying to better himself, as he does with you. You help him focus on his strengths

2. Constant support
No matter what you might be going through personally, you are there to offer words of love, support and
encouragement. If he loses his job, you are the first to say it’s OK. If he is down in the dumps, you are there to provide a comforting hug.

3. Your love for your children
He loves coming home from work and seeing you at the
table helping your kids with their homework. He notices
when one of your children states they have a huge project due the next day and you stay up the majority of the night helping to get it finished. He hears when your kids tell other kids how awesome their mom is. He sees the love and patience you have for your children, which he strives to emulate. These are all reasons he recognizes he made the best choice in a spouse.

4. Forgiveness
Husbands make mistakes. But from simple things like not clearing his own dishes to forgetting an anniversary, you are quick to forgive. You don’t carry grudges, and realize it takes forgiveness so both of you can move on.

5. A better man
You make your husband a better person. Your example of loving and serving others has caused in him a desire to be more mindful of others. He is inspired to be better as he sees you strive to be your best self for him.

In a world that continually is trying to shape the way we
think about marriage, family, divorce, parenting and
relationships, it is important that you take the time to reflect on those initial reasons of why you got married. Every marriage will have its own set of challenges; but for those husbands and wives who are truly committed to each other, challenges will not break their bond of love. Husbands, you have a wonderful opportunity to not only reflect on why your wife is the best choice you ever made, but to be sure she knows why as well.

Reminding her of all that is good within her can bring higher levels of love, trust and comfort to the person you love most.

Shalom.

I see him becoming the Minister for Health period......our health system needs a total overhaul and am sure he will do the job well. I have practiced in the USA and in Nigeria we totally are far below par. hopefully he will make a good impact. #God Bless Nigeria.

Where is That Norhern Korea's Leader, when you need him?[/quote]

You wish to be a Nigerian citizen or you simply want to know what the law says about how to become a Nigerian citizen? This article is for you. The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended is our guide in this discourse. Section 25 of the Constitution defines who is a Nigerian citizen and also lays down the criteria to become one, if you are not one yet.

The constitution recognizes 3 types of citizenship and stipulates the requirements to become each of them. The 3 types of Nigerian citizenship are:

1. Citizenship by birth

2. Citizenship by registration

3. Citizenship by naturalization

For the purpose of clarity each of the types will now be treated in greater details.

Citizenship by Birth

Who is a Nigerian citizen by birth?

1. Every person is a Nigerian citizen by birth if:

(a) he was born in Nigeria before October 1st 1960 i.e. the Nigeria's date of independence

(b) either his parents or grandparents belonged to an indigenous Nigerian community

(c) either his parents or grandparents was born in Nigeria.

2. Every person is a Nigerian citizen by birth if:

(a) he was born in Nigeria after the date of independence, and

(b) either his parent or grandparent is a citizen of Nigeria

3. Every person born outside Nigeria either of whose parent is a citizen of Nigeria is also a Nigerian citizen by birth.

It could be seen from above that Nigeria, unlike the United States, Britain and some other nations of the world, does not give citizenship by birth to anyone merely on account of being born in Nigeria. So, that is the plight of a non-Nigerian born in Nigeria but there are other options for him.

Citizenship by Registration

Only two sets of non Nigerians can acquire this form of citizenship. They are:

1) a foreign woman who is married to a Nigerian citizen, and

2) any person of not less than 18 years of age and of capacity born outside Nigeria, any of whose grand parents is a citizen of Nigeria.

Any of these two people may apply to be a Nigerian citizen by registration. The President of Nigeria may register such person if he is satisfied that:

(i) the person is of good character

(ii) he /she has shown a clear intention of desire to reside in Nigeria, and

(iii) he/she has taken the prescribed Oath of Allegiance to Nigeria.

A non-Nigerian applying for registration must renounce his /her citizenship of another country of which he/she is not by birth within 12 months of being registered as a Nigerian citizen.

Citizenship by Naturalization

Any non-Nigerian can be granted a certificate of naturalization if such person is able to satisfy the President of Nigeria that

1. he is a person not less than 18 years of age and capacity

2. he is a person of good character

3. he has shown a clear intention of desire to be domiciled in Nigeria

4. he is, in the opinion of the Governor of the State where he resides or plans to reside, acceptable to the local community in which he is to live permanently and has been assimilated into the ways of life of Nigerians in that part of the country

5. he is a person who has made or is capable of making useful contribution to the progress of Nigeria

6. he has taken the prescribed Oath of Allegiance of Nigeria

7. he has immediately prior to the date of his application either

i. resided in Nigeria for a continuous period of 15 years or

ii. resided in Nigeria continuously for a period of 12 months, and during the period of 12 years immediately preceding the period of 12 months has resided in Nigeria for periods amounting in all to not less than 15 years.

However, the constitution requires a person who has been granted a certificate of naturalization to renounce his citizenship of any other country. This applies only to his citizenship of any other country of which he is not by birth.

It must have been seen from the above that acquiring citizenship by naturalization is only possible where a person has resided in Nigeria for a total period of not less than 15 years. So the number of years is just the main criterion here.

President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), is to lead a campaign to repeal the pension laws for governors enacted by many states of the federation, Vanguard has learnt.

The proposal by the incoming president is based on what sources close to him affirm as the incongruity of the laws under the country’s socio-economic environment and also, as a way of demonstrating moral leadership from the top.

Majority of the nation’s 36 state Houses of Assembly have enacted generous pension entitlements for governors that in many cases provide 100 per cent pay for the incumbent governors buildings, generous medical allowances for them and their family members and annual holiday provisions, all of which are to last for life. Provisions in the pension allowances are also made for staff, security and vehicles that are renewable every three or four years.Buhari-Nigeria

Buhari’s inclination towards a review of the pension for former governors was first publicly declared few days to the presidential election at the All Progressives Congress, APC, retreat in Owerri, Imo State.

It’s scandalous

A source conversant with the development disclosed that Buhari told the governors that there was no way Nigeria could survive under the financial weight of the pensions that had been earmarked for governors. He was said to have described the pension laws as enacted by states controlled by APC and PDP governors as scandalous.

According to the source, “he was very blunt about it and said that it was something that was going to be done immediately, especially because it is not something that can be sustained.

“The feeling was that not only was it wrong and morally unconscionable, but that it was not something that should be encouraged, and he was appealing to them that it should be changed.”

However, the response of the governors, who were present at the retreat, was not immediately given.

It’s a welcome proposal —Keyamo

The development was, yesterday, welcomed by leading Lagos lawyer, Festus Keyamo, who described it as a fantastic proposal but disclosed that it was something that could, however, only be accomplished through moral suasion.

“Fantastic, fantastic. It is a very welcome proposal,” the Lagos lawyer, who backed General Buhari against President Goodluck Jonathan in last month’s presidential election said.

He, however, said the proposal was something that Buhari could only effect through moral suasion as the pension acts were enacted by state Houses of Assembly.

The crave for financial safety out of office was recently also extended to the legislature after the Lagos State House of Assembly passed pension laws to guarantee generous pension entitlements with proposals for former presiding officers of the house.

States that have passed the law

Many states of the federation had steadily been passing the law since return to civil rule. States like Lagos, Edo, Gombe, Oyo, and Rivers have passed the law, through which several former governors are already drawing applicable benefits, which in some cases are 100 per cent of what the incumbent is earning, while in others, some benefits in the pension laws are as high as 300 per cent of what obtains in some states.

100% of basic salary in Lagos

The Lagos State Governor and Deputy Governor Pensions Law of 2007 provides that “a former governor and family (spouse and children both married and unmarried) are entitled to free medical treatment which is not capped. Another highlight is that the ex-governor is entitled to a cook, steward, gardener and other domestic staff who are pensionable.

The benefits:

Annual Basic Salary: 100% of annual basic salaries of the incumbent governor and deputy.

Accommodation: One residential house in Lagos and another in FCT for the former governor; one residential house in Lagos for the deputy.

Transport: Three cars, two backup cars and one pilot car for the ex-governor every three years; two cars, two backup cars and one pilot car for the deputy governor every three years.

Furniture: 300 per cent of annual basic salary every two years.

House maintenance: 10 per cent of annual basic salary.

Domestic staff: Cook, steward, gardener and other domestic staff (no limit) who shall be pensionable.

Medical: Free medical treatment for ex-governor and deputy and members of their families (not just spouses).

Security: Two DSS operatives, one female officer, eight policemen (four each for house and personal security) for the ex-governor; one SSS operative and two policemen (one each for house and personal security) for the deputy. PA: 25% of annual basic salary.

Car maintenance: 30% of annual basic salary.

Entertainment: 10% of annual basic salary.

Utility: 20% of annual basic salary.

Drivers: Pensionable (no limit to number of drivers).

Severance gratuity: Not specified.

100% of basic salary in Kwara

The law stipulated that qualified former governors and their deputies be paid pension for life, without other perks like accommodation, cars, etc.

The law was reviewed in 2010 by Bukola Saraki, a former governor of the state and a serving senator, who with the support of the state House of Assembly imposed outrageous raises on all the benefits.

The 2010 law gives a former governor two cars and a security car, replaceable every three years. The governor is also entitled to a “well-furnished 5-bedroom duplex,” furniture allowance of 300 per cent of his salary (which totals over N6 million).

The law also gives the governor five personal staff paid for by the state, eight policemen, three DSS operatives (of which one must be a female), free medicals for the governor and the deputy.

Other entitlements are 30 per cent of salary for car maintenance, 20 per cent for utility, 10 per cent for entertainment, 10 per cent for house maintenance.

100% of basic salary in Rivers

The Rivers pension law was first approved in 2003 by former governor, Peter Odili, having been passed by a state assembly headed by the present governor, Chibuike Amaechi as speaker.

The 2003 pension law provides pension for life for governors and deputies, defining “pension” as embodying annual terminal basic salary, annual transport allowance, annual rent subsidy, annual utility allowance, entertainment allowance, domestic staff of not more than four.

Like Lagos, the new law gives the former governor a house in Rivers State and anywhere in Nigeria. The former governor is also entitled to pension for life at the rate of the governor’s basic salary, 300 per cent of salary for furniture paid every four years, three cars every four years, free medical and 10 per cent for house maintenance.

The law gives the former governor a security detail comprising two DSS operatives, four police officers, 30 per cent for car maintenance, 10 per cent entertainment, 20 per cent utility and several domestic staff.

100% of basic salary in Edo

The Edo State House of Assembly on May 16, 2007 passed a law entitled ‘Provision for the Pension of Rights of the Governor and Deputy Governor of the state.’

This law was passed few weeks before Governor Lucky Igbinedion left office as Governor of Edo State.

It provides for 100 per cent pension for the governor at a rate similar to the salary of the incumbent office holder and for domestic staff among others for the former governor.

300% of annual salary in Oyo

The Oyo State Pension Law 2004 provides that the Governor and Deputy Governor after leaving office shall be entitled to Pension for life at a rate equivalent to the annual salary of the incumbent Governor or Deputy Governor. Furniture Allowance of 300 per cent of the annual basic salary, Leave Allowance of 10 per cent of annual basic salary and severance allowance of 300 per cent of the annual basic salary.

So a man don't need 12 points?
In essence u saying any home there's problem
Its the wives?



No dear i understand a men can have a contributory factors to family problems too but that will be for another day in a different write up.

I hate it when i hear the words " our marriage is crashing" or even the worst "divorce" that i wish the term should be deleted from the dictionary and its existence forgotten. Even here in NL hardly any days goes by without many family bickering and fuming often very young and nascent homes even before their one year anniversary in most cases. I thus decided to share this 12 points below, read and be informed (hoping that the Moderators take this to FP to help many homes stay together):


1. The wife that wins all arguments with her husband is not wise. The home is not a law court.
2. The wife that uses sex as a weapon in the home - placing embargo, going to bed in jeans shorts and trousers - lacks wisdom.
3. The wife that uses the modern trends and laws of "women's rights" to insult or ridicule her husband simply makes a fool of herself.
4. A woman that makes her home devoid of peace through bickering, nagging and quarrels needs help. A man should be eager to run away from office to be at home, for that should be the safest and coziest place on earth for him.
5. Modern-day equality in marriage does not mean competition. It simply means partnership. Taking advantage of such equality to turn around and become the de facto head of the home and oppress the man is tantamount to playing with fire. If you destroy your home, soon you will be the boss of an empty home.
6. A wise wife makes the man feel so good that he assumes that he is the head. Once he gets that feeling, the woman gently wields her power and the head actually turns to wherever the neck wants without a protest.
7. A wife that does not pull herself away from friends' influence and advice or even from the control of her mother and father will have herself to blame.
8. When a man is looking for a wife, he bypasses women of different shapes and sizes to choose a wife. But soon after childbirth, many women hide under the excuse of childbirth to let go of themselves. Many stop bothering about their looks, shape, dressing, etc. Within 5 years of marriage, people start wondering if the wife is the man's aunt, even though she is 7 years younger. Her defence is that if he truly loves her, he should love her the way she is. But when looking for a wife, he saw people like the present YOU and ignored them and settled for the former YOU. Today, you go to bed smelling of onions and ogiri. You go to bed wearing grandmothers' clothes. Why are you playing with your marriage? Love is not about looks - we know. But looks enhance love and marriage. There is a difference between someone disfiguring herself and the person being disfigured by an accident. Please don't be complacent. As hard as it may be, work on looking like you were when he first saw you and began the chase.
9. If every night you are tired, sleepy, sore, down with headache or fever, "not in the mood," you are a joker, a serious comedian!
10. If your children suddenly become more important to you than your husband, you need prayers.
11. If you assume that as the woman, only you need to be pampered and fussed over while the man is a stone that has no emotions, you need to be pitied.
12. A woman that has the mind of a wife does not excite her husband. Wives are usually complacent and presumptuous. A wife must strive to have the mind of a girlfriend.
A girlfriend is always nicer, sweeter, more loving and always thinking of ways to wow her sweetheart; a girlfriend does not try to win all arguments, does not call the man a "useless man", is not careless about her looks or dressing, always smiles and laughs with the man, sends the man sweet messages and calls, etc.
Are you your husband's girlfriend in word and indeed?

May true love reign and famiy be sacred eternally!

I represnt Nnamdi Azikiwe University. I had great time in the College of Medicine and it gives us the best to compete anywhere in the world...my Distinction in Surgery & Medicine in New york later in life i owe it to this great School.
Op well done for this thread.

i miss this auditorium....slept here most of the nights preparing for my litany of quizzes and 2nd MBBS exam during my pre-clinical stage of medical school. wow how time flies.

I came back to Nigeria last November from Texas and till today some people around me at home still carry face because they feel what i got for them was not enough. i had to make sure i got for everyone and even shared some of my own personal items to satisfy all but yet some people still feel it wasnt enough. Bro my advise do your best and dont mind what anyone says. some even started estimating how much i earn in the US as a doctor and comparing to what i gave them lol.




When by chance you happen to make your way out of nigeria and start to make a living abroad some relatives of yours make life not one to be enjoyed here are some of the common ones

Letter of invitation: if you per chance become a full citizen you become inundated with lots of requests. Everyone wants a letter of invitation.

Finance: This is the most annoying. Everybody expects you to be super rich once you live abroad,you keep being asked for money for saundry things that could well have easily been taking care of without your knowledge. Take for instance if you live in america and you earn 700$ a week after paying all your bills and sending money home you have very little savings,you can't afford luxury things for yourself

Spiritual attacks (winch)
Like m.I says 'bad belle is allowed' but the one from people in the villa is too much. Most people won't live and let live they keep looking for whose life to destroy.once you go abroad even if your a janitor who barely makes a living they still send bullets to u

Gift: when during xmas period you see a black person carrying a lot of gifts in his/her trolley that person is probably a nigerian. You buy things for everybody ranging from your siblings to your father's nephew's cousin's sister's stepson's gateman. Everybody must get something or the person woulrd start to spew trash about you

These are some of the ones I know of if you have ever been in this position feel free to add yours[/quote]

Ilorin is over hype joor. I served there a few years ago and it is just there. I even noticed mud houses in the central areas of the capital, around the taiwo and challenge. and that no southeastern states (Enugu, Owerri) made your list invariably shows your criteria for the ratings.



The list should be in this order
1) Ibadan
2) Port Harcout

Enjoy, ,while it lasts. Many of them will soon fizzle out. At the expense of being called names, many of these guys na,,money miss road. After the initial blingbling, na downhill.

Regulatorsmust ensure that standards are kept and this means money . Operators with out track records portend danger

Oh please. The so called airlines with track records once were with no records when they started. At atime MTN and DSTV had all the monoply and track record in their respective field, how did we fare then and now so please give them a chance to prove themselves.
