We talking money and you're talking nonsense.

A guy ran mad because of this in aba. It was even the father that squandered the money... He's still mad till today roaming around the street since 2008.. Nobody cares about him now...


Making money first shouldn't be your priority when you travel out of this country, getting your necessary papers should be.. With your complete papers, you can make money and also come back once in a while..

It is a lack of sound advice and experience on the part of those who brought him up that leads to poor life choices. That is why I always advocate that parents lead their children along the paths they themselves have taken so as to avoid pitfalls like these by experience. I am certain if Kelechi has a son in future he would advise him against making such a move, going to a top trophy seeking club from scratch without a CV.

In contemporary career paths people still make these kind of mistakes. Wanting the biggest and best without a CV then later discovering the attractive paper qualifications simply cannot match up with less endowed colleagues who are bigger for experience and better on the shop floor. The rule is. The employer who looks for the flashy paperwork will continue looking for flashy paperwork and sooner than later a better candidate wil emerge to relegate the previous. What consolidates position is performance.

To learn performance is different from raw skill. Learning performance does not happen on the biggest stage, it happens backstage where practice makes perfect. Mancity is bought by eager, trophy hungry moneybags. It is THE big stage. They will not let you room to practice performance. So he was released to go learn that.

Lesson for all.

All Wars and Terrorism are Bankers Wars.

Everyone who knows how the GPS system works with the Satellite systems and Drones, know that you can monitor the movement of Terrorists even with heat sensors. And end these wars in one week.

But since the Senior Military guys are buying Assets all over the world, the poor man's children are recruited to fight as Soldiers, just as other sets of poor men children are recruited as Terrorists.

In the end, the Arms Manufacturers, the Arms Dealers, the brokers and middlemen as well as the Government guys who budget for wars as well as the military industrial complex, they all make billions off the blood of the poor man's children.

Well, in Nigeria, it is expensive to keep purchasing RIPs to give. I had just a million RIPs and I have exhausted my RIPs already.

I have none to give. Those who join any group that uses gun, know they are candidates for the casket. It is silly to say you give your life for Nigeria, there is no Nigeria. There is no National ID, no National Database.

Nigeria Company is a business that trades on Petroleum Fields and Products for their few owners. If you think you have a country, think again.

MiddleSpot:
I read your thread. Do you know they say habits form by doing things repeatedly overtime for a period of 20days. Begin to let people win you in arguments voluntarily not proving your right.


Declutter your mind by changing the movies you watch and friends you hang out with


Stay away from controversial circumstances


Make new friends new company, do things differently. If you do this, mental flexibility will be developed and you can see people as they are right or wrong and accommodate them better


Finally, learn to be responsive not reactive. Wait till you hear the last word from people before you talk. Practice silence and thought management. Do not let your thoughts roam and rule you over.

JUSTICE ONNOGHEN VS JUSTICE TANKO MUHAMMAD: HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF

Both the suspension of Justice Onnoghen and swearing-in of Justice Tanko Muhammed in acting capacity by the President followed the same pattern of how Justice Theresa Uzokwe was suspended by the Abia State House of Assembly and Justice Orji subsequently sworn in as acting Chief Judge of the state by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.

While earlier placing Justice Orji on suspension in January 2018, the NJC said in a statement, “The suspension of the Chief Judge of Abia State (Justice Theresa Uzokwe) by the State House of Assembly without a prior recommendation by the National Judicial Council violates the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Consequently, the subsequent act of appointing and swearing-in of Hon. Mr. Justice Obisike Orji as the Acting Chief Judge is invalid for being unconstitutional.

“Furthermore, the conduct of Hon. Mr. Justice Obisike Orji in presenting himself to be sworn in raises potential questions of misconduct that Council is now looking into.

“Council therefore resolved to query and suspend the Hon. Mr. Justice Obisike Orji pending the outcome of its investigation.”

Later in March 2018, following further investigations by its panel, the NJC said, “Hon. Mr. Justice Obisike Oji was earlier queried by the council for allowing himself to be sworn in as acting Chief Judge, and thereby colluding in, and aiding an unconstitutional process.

“His reply was unsatisfactory and the council recommended his compulsory retirement.”

The NJC, also at the same meeting held on March 14, 2018, found Justice Uzokwe culpable and recommended her compulsory retirement.

CULLED FROM PUNCH

UyaiIncomparabl:
OP. I admire your steadfastness and patience in times like this. As it is, I'm already fuming to a comment a Nairalander made up there. So much sentimental folks.

You have to let him choose between you and your kids and his family, not at the detriment of leaving responsibilities for you. Look, you're a woman, and as such, you should know how to use your veto power, not insultively, but enforcing it maturedly that he'd see many ways not to reject your request. Things like these are what scares and irks me about marriage, but then, I accept that challenges will surely come.

Your husband isn't a MAN. I'm not even sure he can give rational decisions, let alone make them. As a rule of thumb, I'll never accommodate any family member to stay in my home for a lengthy period when I get married. I love my solitude, peace and sanity. NONE. Not even my sisters, brothers or whatever, and I expect my husband to adopt same measure. This isn't hostility, but it's a measure to be taken so that it doesn't give room for snitches prying into private and sensitive matters of another's family.

He mustn't live to please everyone. He possibly cannot help every member of his family. The only help they need is a JOB. Leeches inform of relatives.

Look. Have a heart to heart talk with him. If he blatantly downtalks your opinion, serve him a rational decision on a platter of gold. Stop covering for his loopholes, but take care of your children. Don't join to pay the bills, let him do them himself. Since he doesn't want to have sense, get him one in the grocery store.

I repeat, your WIFE and CHILDREN must come first, whatever/whomever that follows is inconsequential. I have no time for arguments.

Just come on the D-day, I'll tag you. You might find willing partners on the thread.

I need a puppy please from a kind hearted Nairalander.

I might be giving out an old working iPad 3, but that's if I get a puppy first.

Naturally determining the sex of your babies – Francis Ewherido

Let me commence with a solemn declaration. I believe, without any doubt, that all humankind is created equal and in the image and likeness of God. No person is superior to the other by virtue of family background, race, ethnicity or gender.

So today’s article has nothing to do with the superiority of the male child over the female child. There is no such thing, or maybe it exists in the imagination of some people due to prehistoric and archaic prejudices. We need both sexes to perpetuate humanity, so both are equally important.

Put these male chauvinists making noise about the supremacy of the male child in an island without women for one year and they will run mad. I am only writing today’s article because God has given us the freedom of choice and if anybody has challenges exercising that freedom positively and you are in a position to help, please do just that.



Last week’s article, “Nigeria’s exponential Population” did generate much reaction on my social media pages. But one of the reasons given by a respondent for the exploding population did catch my attention. He said some couples give birth to more children than they originally planned or can cater for because they are looking for the “almighty” male child. This does not make sense to me, but a man has the right to make legal choices that make him happy. I have written considerably on this subject and will not duel on it wholesome today, but I will concentrate on naturally determining the sex of your baby.

Naturally preselecting the sex of your baby is no rocket science; it is the simple biology we all learnt in secondary school. Maybe, we just take it a little further. So it is painful to see couples unfulfilled, sad or breed like rabbits because they are looking for either a son or daughter, son most of the time. Today, I am giving an abridged version of steps (previously addressed in my column) that you need to take to naturally preselect the sex of your baby with stunning accuracy.

First, we must remember or know that the male sperms carry either X or Y chromosomes, while the female eggs carry only the X chromosomes. The egg carrying the X chromosome and the sperm carrying Y chromosome produce a male child, while the egg carrying the X chromosome and the sperm carrying X chromosome produce a female child. So a man determines the sex of a baby. You can now see that many husbands are just blaming their wives for results that they are wholly responsible for.

The sperm carrying the Y chromosome swims faster, but has a shorter lifespan while the sperm carrying the X chromosome is slower, but has a longer lifespan. If you want a male child, intercourse should take place just before or during ovulation. The faster sperms carrying the Y chromosome would get to the egg and fertilise it before the sperms with X chromosome make their slow and steady journey there. And only one sperm can fertilise an egg. If, however, intercourse takes three days (sometimes two days) or more before ovulation, the result will likely be a girl. This is because all the faster sperms carrying the Y chromosomes with short lifespan would have died leaving the egg for the slower sperms carrying the X chromosomes with longer lifespan to fertilise.

The critical elements here are ovulation, which occurs when an egg or ovum is released from the ovary and usually lasts for about 12 to 24 hours, and timing of intercourse. Ovulation normally occurs between the 12th to 14th day of a woman’s 28-day cycle, but like most human phenomena, there are no absolute certainties and it varies from one woman to another. Even within the same woman, there are variations. Many women find this unpredictability challenging. Such women can engage in charting, that is daily recording of changes in the mucus discharge from the vagina that is related to ovulation, to enhance predictability.

Please note that how long the sperm lives in the body of your wife after intercourse is determined by a number of factors. One, the vaginal environment is very important. If it is alkaline, the sperm carrying the Y chromosome can survive up to three day, while the sperm carrying the X chromosome can survive for five or six days. But if the vaginal environment is acidic, it is less habitable for the X and Y sperms and they die much earlier. That is why knowing the day of ovulation is very essential to pre-selection of the sex of your baby, because if you do, the vaginal environment, friendly or hostile, becomes inconsequential.

The other important factor is the health of the husband’s sperms. Studies have shown that the sperms of men decline both in quality and quantity from age 40. It is earlier for smokers. Lifestyle and the type of food you eat also influence the quantity and quality of sperms and ability to impregnate your wife. In fact, the egg does not accept every sperm that comes its way. It is very selective and attracted more to healthy sperms. This can be a challenge for men with weak sperms or low sperm count when they want to impregnate their wives, according to research findings.

You also need some discipline and cooperation between spouses if you want to naturally pre-select the sex of your babies. For a start, pre-selection is easier when the woman is practising natural family planning as against the use of artificial contraceptives, because artificial contraceptives disrupt the cycle of women, stopping ovulation or making ovulation more unpredictable, and you do need some level of predictability in the ovulation cycle to naturally preselect the sex of your babies

In addition, the couple needs to stay off intercourse for at least five days before ovulation. This is to ensure that residue semen in the woman’s body does not interfere with her vaginal discharge and create confusion. There are a number of natural ways women know they are ovulating: the thick slimy vaginal discharge which is like phlegm (catarrh, as some refer to it), some women feel a sharp pain on the side or lower abdomen when the egg is released, heightened sense of smell, breast soreness or tenderness, increased sexual urge and change in body temperature..
Just in case you are wondering why I write categorically on the efficacy of this method, I used it to preselect the sex of all my children, boys and girls accurately, so I know it is effective

FarahAideed:
Every single thing there is false .. see my response to the lies in bold fonts.

1. Foreign reserved increased from 29.3 billion to over 47 billion. True or False

False : this is another unproven statististic and ofcourse another shameless lie from the lying govt , is the govt saying it is paying average of 6000 people in each state of Nigeria the total sum of 6 billion Naira monthly ? The least the govt can do is allow the 6 billion Naira reflect in the statutory monthly expenditure charge sheet and it's never reflected at all ..another thing is for the govt to make available a list of names of beneficiaries state by state for verifications


3. Power supply as improved from 2000 megawatts to 7000 megawatts. True or False?

False: when Jonathan left Nigeria had a wheel out capacity of 4500 Mws and an installed capacity of 7000 Mws of electricity and this is a fact ..Buhari is claiming to have added 5000 mws to grid in 3 years so can Buhari show us what new power plants he initiated that is responsible for this extra 5000 Mws ( it's as simple as that ).. another lie bursted!!

False : the money swap deal has not even taken off and when it does it will for the tiny international sum of 900 million dollars over a period of years which comes to just 300 million dollars per year if it ever kicks off ..The deal in every ramification is nothing but beauttiful nonsense that has no implication on our Balance of trade sheet with china.. we have only ended up guaranteeing China a sure 1 billion dollars worth of export steady no matter the outcome of international business.

7. Over 500billion had been realised from anti corruption fight. True or False

False : till the EFCC provided the list of the 630 people it prosecuted successfully and recovered 500 billion Naira from this remains false and till that money reflects in our budget as an income item then it's false ..Whrre is is the money?

IPOB was never a threat as such to any Nigerian , instead of mentioning IPOb I was expecting the president to tell us why he is sparing the Fulani Herdmen who have killed over 4000 Nigerians in just 3 years !!!!


9. Nigeria has comes out of the worst economical recession. True or False?

False : this is another big lie when it's on record that for 3 straight fiscal years the Buhari govt has scored zero (yes zero) Performance in the administration of its capital expenditure purse ( even Fashola recently admitted this when he went to defend his budget) ..so ask yourself where is the money for these phantom roads coming from and where are the roads ? please dontbler a Dullard like Buhari decieve you.


11. Rail constricting is on going Lagos to Ibadan, Kaduna to Kano etc. True or False?

False : The only rail construction Buhari has initiated is a questionable one that is supposed to run from Katsina to his ancestral home in Maradi Niger republic , the motive behind the rail is 100 percent nepotistic as there is no economic explanation to why Nigeria needs that rail line so much we had to borrow for it..

You suffer from Anxiety. Anxiety is a mental health disorder and affects over 60% of Nigerians but because of the way our society is designed we decide not to treat it cause of the supposed stigma attached to such. When people think of anxiety, they think of worrying and stress. They think of fears and a feeling as though something is going to go wrong. Anxiety is seen in thoughts and actions.

But anxiety has a tremendous physical component, and one of the key contributors to those physical sensations is long term stress. This Stress has a tremendous impact on your health, and one of the most common conditions is feeling ill.


The stress from anxiety can cause feelings of very genuine sickness. These feelings often mimic the way illnesses make you feel. Your stomach can feel like it's rumbling and you may even feel like you are having fever or malaria. Feeling sick may be a sign that you've fallen ill, but it can also be a clear sign of anxiety.

When we are stressed and the stress is a prolonged one (e.g. grief), it is physically very hard on the body to maintain this stress response for a prolonged period, so we have to find ways to take our body out of this stress response. Some of these ways are spending time with friends, counselling, medication, mindfulness, making sure we eat and sleep enough, massage, hypnosis etc. There are lots of different things that can help.

Anxiety can weaken your immune system, increasing the risk of suffering from mild illness.

Feeling ill is something that often causes concern. Some people feel so sick that they vomit or experience profound nausea that keeps them away from their activities. Some people experience more than just nausea as well. They may experience other symptoms that are similar to catching a fever, malaria or flu. They may feel like their organss are swollen, or their tongue is dry. They may feel lightheaded. They may even cough or experience severe stomach discomfort, like indigestion.

When anxiety is causing these symptoms, they're not dangerous. Anxiety is simply your body's misfiring of the body's natural fight or flight response, and the way your body reacts is designed to make sure that you know you're supposed to be fearful.
The problem isn't the signals themselves, the problem is that you're experiencing them all the time, often when it is inconvenient. People feel these symptoms for different reasons:

Situational anxiety is actually natural. It's inconvenient, but it's natural. Back in school, if you felt severe illness before a big test, it's because you genuinely feared that test. While tests shouldn't provide that fear, the reaction is not unexpected.

But on the other hand, the one you should fear and what I think you have is Feelings of chronic illness from anxiety which is even more problematic, because when your anxiety won't go away, the feeling of being ill won't go away either. It becomes something that makes you feel worse about your health, saps your energy, and can ruin each and every day (all symptoms you are feeling now).

My recommendation: go to the clinic and see a trained therapist. He will prescribe some good anti-depressants. You will be okay.

magazineguy:
There is no bible or age rule-book that guides you to be a good boss. Management positions can be delegated by the number of years you have spent in a place or the kind of work you have contributed to an organisation. But a good boss is recognized by certain qualities. These qualities don’t just make him a stand up guy but a source of inspiration and aspiration to his subordinates.

Below are my top 5 qualities that make a perfect boss.

Listen

A good boss listens to what his team has to say because great ideas, insights and perspectives don’t just come from one place but from anywhere. Therefore, he is open to the contributions of other people. Most of the contributions given by his team might not be fully formed yet and that is where his years of experience or expertise comes in to play. To fine-tune these ideas and eventually make them better. Better still, make contributions to ideas raised than will encourage a good outcome.

Delegate wisely

The key to leadership success is to learn to effectively delegate both the responsibility for completing assignments and the authority required to get things done. Many bosses feel that they need to control every little thing that their employees do. If you feel they are not good enough, then why hire them? Entrust your team will the ability to bring out the best possible result. They will respect you for that.

Communicate

A lot of bosses have a problem with communication. Most times, it’s difficult for busy business owners and executives to keep their employees up-to-date on the latest organizational news. Regardless, you must make every effort to get employees the information they need to do their jobs quickly and efficiently. Communication keeps everyone in the loop of what’s going on, what needs to be done and how to go about it. Which leads to results.

Set goals

Every employee needs goals to strive for. Not only do goals give employees direction and purpose, but they ensure that your employees are working towards the overall organizational goals. Set specific and measurable goals with your employees, then regularly monitor their progress toward achieving them.

Recognize achievements

Every employee wants to do a good job. And when they do a good job, employees want recognition from their bosses. Unfortunately, few bosses do much in the way of recognizing and rewarding employees for a job well done. A kind word or gesture can go a long way in lifting the spirits of employees, that their work is recognized and appreciated.

Finally, running an organization is no small fit. Products and services must be sold and delivered, and money must be made. Despite the gravity of these responsibilities, leaders should endeavour to make their organizations fun places to work. Instead of having employees who look for every possible reason to call in sick or to arrive at work late or go home early, organizations that work hard and play hard end up with a more loyal and energized workforce.

He should keep his peace in his pocket.

Jonathan must never allow himself to rally the SE/SS to stop Buhari's evil agenda which will destroy Nigeria and give us a new Nigeria or B.

Built2last:
BOLA TINUBU AND THE BUHARI GAMBLE.

By Charles Ogbu.

Buhari is not here because the North or the Caliphate is well sophisticated in politics.

No!

Buhari is in Asorock today simply because of the insatiable greed of one man, Tinubu.

All the brain-resetting lies and demonic propaganda including all the packaging such as Buhari wearing Igbo attire and even going to church plus his smart move of refusing to take part in the debate before the 2015 poll etc, are all Tinubu's handiwork.

For the sake of honesty, I must point out here that the ex-Lagos state governor is a political genius. An evil genius, some would argue but a genius all the same.

A betting man would bet that the whole idea was the hope of a Deja Vu of the Yar'Adua situation. Knowing Buhari's medical history, Tinubu was expecting the Yar'adua-zation of the Buhari character to enable him (Tinubu) become Nigerian president by proxy.

But he forgot one important fact:

In war (politics is war. Bloodless war) to achieve victory, you must not just have a very good strategy, you must equally know your enemies plan.

Tinubu failed to read the handwriting on the wall.

If he did, he would know that the Buhari presidency was not a Buhari project. It was a very big project initiated by the feudal #ChildrenOfTheCaliphate with a view to returning power to the North at all cost. In this project, everything and everyone was expandable. Even Buhari who is theoretically the 'owner' of this project is but a mere pawn in the whole arrangement as recent events have shown.

The fulanis don't share power. Even if Buhari dies today, Osinbajo can only be in office as his replacement but he can never be in power. So either way, Tinubu had reckoned without the witches.

The greatest lesson in this is that without the active connivance and complicity of Southerners, the fulanis are actually not as powerful as they think they are neither are the Southerners as powerless as we think.

3 times Buhari tried. 3 times he failed, even with the almighty Caliphate behind him.

Until the #ScionsOfDanfodio discovered Tinubu's greed button and began pressing it.

Tragically funny enough, while the educationally disadvantaged Northerners have 'colonized' everything and are in absolute control, lording it over the South, the Southern houses seem cursed with senseless and destructive competition like Dwarfs trying to ascertain who is the tallest amongst themselves forgetting that tallest or shortest, a dwarf remains a dwarf.

The ex-federal lawmaker is a uniquely talented politician but his greed crowded his sense of reasoning. His 2015 romance with Buhari was an epic miscalculation. He should have learnt from the Afonja mistake.

He didn't.

And here we are.

In the end, History will remember Senator Bola Ahmed Asiwaju Tinubu as a man who fought to dethrone a tyrant (Abacha) but ended up cursing his Compatriots with an even deadlier cold blooded death merchant (Buhari) in a bid to quench his bottomless greed.

A shame, isn't it?
