Its a day to celebrate agape love. But unfortunately, opportunists have hijacked it. Its has now become a day to celebrate immorality and exploit men.

So I went to see an old friend today that I hadn't seen in like 20 years or so. We attended the same primary school. He is married with kids now, and has a great job. So, we got talking and then he asked if I was married, and when I said no, he was shocked. I told him money was an issue, and he told me that at the time he married his wife 4 years ago, he was only earning 18k. My jaws dropped to the ground. How is it possible to marry with an income of 18k a month in this Lagos?


My friend went on to tell me he knew he was taking a risk at the time, but immediately after the wedding, things turned around for him. He got his current job, and his financial status changed almost overnight.


So, guys, I ask this question- can you marry with a salary of 18k? And girls, can you marry a guy who earns 18k?

Hello friends, my belief has been that when i finally settle down, like i have seen in some men, I will grow some flesh and fat. I am beginning to think thats way too long a time to wait.
So i want some help, how do i add some meat to my skiny body. How do i naturally increase my weight.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

In 1984, the late Gani Fawehinmi, SAM, SAN, spectacularly broke ranks with his legal commune. That clan dotted on “due process” — no crime! — and distanced itself from the post-2nd Republic corruption trials, before special tribunals.
Those trials handed convicted former political office holders jumbo gaol sentences for corruption. The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) decreed its members should stay off the cases, since it perceived the process as skewed against justice.
But Gani, famous loner often at his best when acting solo, cut to the chase: this was humongous, nation-ruining sleaze, not to be deodorised by any legalistic cant. So, Gani balked.
Was he right? Ripples, then as an undergraduate, bristling at the “brazen injustice”, thought so. But what if Gani was right; and the rest of us were wrong?
What if Gani was so prescient he thought if Nigeria didn’t crush the elephantine greed of its thieving elite, with as little misleading legal fizz as possible, the country could, 32 years later, just be fated to anotherDasukigate, quite stratospheric, when compared with the industrial-scale looting of the Abacha era?
And if the present generation, cheering or jeeringDasukigate,did not fully grasp the danger of this tragic continuum of greed and lunatic graft; and the stealing status quo were to continue?
In another 32 years: would there even be a state, from which citizens under serious censure — and rightly so for alleged heist — demand “rule of law” with such self-serving hypocrisy? And if the state had been eaten into pulp by a rapacious few, how can it guarantee any rights to anyone?
All these queries are coming up because two vital pillars of the modern state, the bar and the media, on the Muhammadu Buhari anti-graft war, are already equivocating. Yet, they know galloping graft brings clear and present ruin.
In fairness to the lawyers, and with all due respect to their most altruistic, they tend to have a rather sweet penchant for private joy, rather than collective bliss. One of them sensationally declared the alleged disobedience to court orders, by the Buhari Presidency, would endanger legal practice! Now, was that wilful truth or awful Freudian slip?
Still, a towering legal voice has spoken for the epoch, beyond the titillating aroma of present client briefs. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, declared: any court ruling on present corruption cases should take cognisance of law as it takes of public opinion. A golden intervention there! The great Gani too, in 1984, did a procedural equivalent of class suicide, just to underscore his outrage against sleaze, while his peers got fixated with sterile procedure.
Still, from the least socially conscious to the most radical of crusading attorneys, every lawyer is covered by the lawyers’ creed: the right of every accused to legal representation.
The media has no such luxury, particularly in society-damaging times, that the free and wild looting of the Jonathan era has made of the present.
In times of great throes, the media ought to champion the spirit of the age: editorials echoing the great angst in the land, and columns speaking the pains and anguish of the meek, the silenced and the repressed.
But even with the outrage in the land, a section of the media stay wrapped in a sterile cocoon; as cold and insensitive as the uproar in the streets is hot and impassioned.
Take two of the brightest stars in the glittering sky ofThe Nation.
For two consecutive Sundays (January 3 and 10), Palladium, that formidable back page column on Sundays, went into a deep philosophical, analytical and theoretical trance; and with a vengeance, conjured the alchemy and metaphysics of democracy; and its inalienable rights.
At the end of that trance, Buhari (who tries hard to right grievous wrongs) had become the villain; those accused of egregious sleaze, unfairly repressed citizens; and the throes in the land, which their stupendous heists have caused, mere “popular sentiments against the so-called treasury looters.”
So called! Call that the Palladium beatification, and you are spot on!
By his third straight offering (January 18), Palladium had worked himself into virtual hysteria, dismissing both the president and the entire anti-sleaze outrage as “wrong”. Well, Mighty Palladium is entitled to his romantic fixation, fast morphing into quixotic delusion!
Sam Omatseye, in his “Catching a thief” (January 11) entered and exited with great flourish and élan, with every line dripping with charming erudition. But at the end, the columnist ended up as a finger-pointer. The anti-corruption war, he tended to imply, is Buhari’s personal battle, in which the president must float or sink! How so?
Yeah, a more sympathetic reading has suggested Sam only decried the lack of an elite anti-corruption critical mass; as well as an organised mass vanguard. That is not unreasonable — and perhaps the administration should do more mobilisation on this score.
But where stands the columnist? And, for that matter, you: the grand victim of those grand heists?
The hegemony of Western culture stands on ancient Greek civilisation. Yet at an epoch, Greece would appear even more debauched than contemporary Nigeria.
Draco (7th century BC), bristled at the mass decadence of the Athens of his day. He tackled it harsh and hard; but earned notoriety by bequeathing humanity the word, “draconian”.
Solon (6th century BC), reformed Draco’s harsh laws. He earned admiration down the ages, for he was hailed as “Solon the Wise”.
Pericles (5th century BC), an Athenian naval general, was even victim of his age’s liberality. By the instrumentality of theostrakon(which birthed the word, “ostracise”), he was banished for a period, for being “too popular”. But he came back in triumph to be lawgiver, and presided over the most golden era of Athenian — and Greek — civilisation.
A common thread runs through the triad, over three different centuries: each faced the challenge of his time, guided by the temper of his age. But without Draco, would there have been Pericles?
From the “ten-percenters” of the First Republic, Nigerian unconscionable elite thieves have grown more brazen in their prependal crimes. A Draco shock therapy would, therefore, appear inevitable, nay imperative, to nudge them, the hard way, back to redemption. Perhaps that is President Buhari’s historical mission?
Still, let the courts be fair to all. But with glaring records of bad faith from these elite thieves and their colluding lawyers, let no procedural romantics conjure scarecrows that canonise the impunity to commit crimes and get away with them; but demonise state agents that apply legitimate measures to secure justice for the rest of us.
That is as much corruption of the public space, as unbridled stealing of public funds is corruption of the polity.
Therefore, President Buhari should shun the din of naysayers and do the needful to retrieve every kobo, stolen from the public till.
Ripplesis with him all of the way. What about you?
Just 40 days of vacation and it looked like 40 years, watching from the sidelines, Nigeria’s ever gripping public theatre. It’s nice to be back. Happy new year, folks!

I beg you all to read this to the end, it might be of use to you!
I am actually a Young blogger and i started it in 2014 after i left secondary school... i worked for one person or another and i end up getting stories or getting scammed.. i then decided to stay on my own but nothing worked out because i bought several adsense which got disabled... just when i got an adsense account from a genuie source and i made my 2 months earnings $1300+ i got disabled again while waiting for my pin! that was in August 2015

I never loved betting, infact i hated people who do it i never knew i would fall a victim! in september 2015 my schoolmates introduced me to Bet9ja sport betting and the very first day i attempted it, i played with 1k and won N14,000 Little did i know that it was a welcome Notice! I used half of the money to buy a new pair of shoe.... and i took the rest the next day!
within 1 hour everything was taken away from me! I felt bad that day and i went back to my hostel. i kept on playing and loosing all my feeding allowances, food money, borrowed money, & hard earned money. The highest money i have ever won was 28k
Last week my uncle decided to send me 100k from USA through western Union and i decided to go and boost some of the money... i keep playing this thing not because i am addicted, but because i thought i can recover all the money i av loosed! and i see some people turn to instant millionares through bet9ja... Olamide,lilkesh,phyno and crazeclown supports it as been ambassadors to this bet companys!
I took 30k from the 100k my uncle sent to me to the bet shop last week and everything wooped away. i went to withdraw another 30k... it all went within the twinkle of an eye again... i went ahead t
o withdraw the last 40k and i only had 1k left to go back home. it sounds like i am the biggest fool of all time , but till now i cannot explain the spirit that pushed me to do so. I was just regreting and there was nothing more i could do.
Today Tought me the lesson of my Life! on wednesday my mom gave me 15k to keep for her when she travelled to ilorin she told me she was going to come back next week monday... so on thursday again, i was forced to go and play this thing.. i said within myself that i wont play with more than N1000 no matter the case only to find myself loosing the whole money as usual. then unfortunately, my mom called me that she was coming home on friday that i should get the money ready as she needs it to fuel her car and buy stuffs as she was going for a wedding i couldnt tell her anything because she trusted me and that is the only reason she gave me the money to keep! i started sending out messages to all friends on facebook 90% ignored me probably because i had one issue or another with them, i started selling all i had ...pages, groups, i even sold my phone at 3k just to raise money. finally i was able to raise N7000 ... My mom asked for her money this morning and i told her that i kept it in the bank that i was going to withdraw it from the bank... i went to bet9ja again to see if i can raise it to 15k and give her all the money without any stress. Everything went again as usual. That was when i knew that i am addicted and it is more like a curse i can break.

All i need is ADVICE! Should i forget all the money i have lost!

Not a few expatriate Nigerians in the United States have been fretting since Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump threatened to send them packing if he wins November’s presidential election.
“To make America great again, we need to get rid of the Muslims, Mexicans and the Africans, especially the Nigerians,” Trump said. “They take all our jobs, jobs meant for honest hard working Americans, and when we don’t give them the jobs, the Muslims blow us up.”
This was a new one. Nigerians as a group had previously figured on his catalogue of bugbears. only as crime-prone elements. And this latest was just a preamble.
“We need to get the Africans out. Not the blacks, the Africans. Especially the Nigerians,” he elaborated. They’re everywhere. I went for a rally in Alaska and met just one African in the entire state. Where was he from? Nigeria! He’s in Alaska taking our jobs. They’re in Houston taking our jobs. Why can’t they stay in their own country? Why? I’ll tell you why.
“Because they are corrupt,” he said to vehement cheering by a predominantly white audience of some 10, 000 at a rally in Wichita, Kansas. “Their governments are so corrupt, they rob the people blind and bring it all here to spend. And their people run away and come down here and take our jobs. We can’t have that! If I become president, we’ll send them all home. We’ll build a wall at the Atlantic Shore. Then maybe we’ll re-colonise them because obviously they did not learn a damn thing from the British!”
There you have it, Himself the Donald, the tabloid media personality and cartoon character on the top of his flippant, foul-mouthed, demagogic form. Do not expect him to do anything differently yet, because what he has been doing so far has served him well. It has kept him at or near the top of the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, supposedly the bellwether of political preference in an election year, and as prohibitive front runner in national polls for the Republican ticket.
What the statesman and British Prime Minister Arthur James Balfour (1848 – 1930) said of a speech by one of his contemporaries can be said with justice about Trump’s broadside: “There were some things that were true, and some things that were trite; but what was true was trite, and what was not trite was not true.”
It is true, but trite, that a good many Nigerians are involved in syndicated extortion, credit card fraud and other scams of like nature that a name has even been created for the phenomenon: “The Nigerian Connection.
Through their own gullibility and credulity and a predilection for reaping where they did not sow, hundreds of Americans have fallen victim to these scams. In whatever case, it is not proven that Nigerians are more given to criminal activity than other national or sub-national groups in the United States.
It is true, but trite, that Nigerians are to be found even in Alaska. They are everywhere trying to earn a decent living like other residents. Were business or pleasure to take Trump to Greenland and beyond, indeed to the farthest regions of the world inhabited by humans, he will find Nigerians there. That is not a flaw in their character but a tribute to their enterprise, their sense of adventure, their irrepressible spirit.
It is again true, but trite, that there is much corruption in public life in Nigeria, and that many public officials who have corruptly enriched themselves warehouse their loot in the United States, in the expectation that it will buy them life most abundant.
Since taking office in May 2015, the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has been unmasking the corruption that virtually bankrupted Nigeria under Dr Goodluck Jonathan’s watch, identifying perpetrators in high places, and preparing the ground to bring them to justice.Dasukigateis only the best-known manifestation of this exercise.
So, it is no news that corruption is a big issue in Nigeria. Nor is it a revelation that major American oil companies – think Halliburton – have over the decades aided and abetted it big-time.
A good many Nigerians might not be averse to being re-colonised, this time by the United States as Trump said he might do if elected, the British having made a hash of it. One recalls how, at a very low point — as if there was ever a high point! — in the Second Republic, a tearful Imo State Governor Sam Mbakwe, whom no one ever accused of flippancy, wished the British could be brought back to continue where they had left off.
Decades earlier, the question was being asked in homes and on the streets: When will this independence end? Even now, today, it is not inconceivable that there is still some yearning among some of our compatriots, however muted, for the return of Britannica.
So it is true, but tiresomely trite, that corruption in Nigeria has assumed industrial proportions. And Trump was all triteness when he hurled his broadsides at Nigeria and Nigerians. And where he was not trite, he was a peddler of falsehood.
It is not true and not trite that Nigerians have been taking jobs meant for “honest, hardworking Americans.” To put it baldly, it is a shameless lie.
What jobs?
Certainly not the job of healing the sick and tending their wounds and caring for the old and infirm that tens of thousands of doctors, nurses and medical workers who claim Nigerian nationality carry out everyday.
In the tri-State area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut that Trump is familiar with, the health care delivery system will virtually collapse if the Nigerians he has been denigrating were to pull out.
The educational establishments from primary school all the way to research universities will be the poorer without the Nigerians who serve as teachers, administrators, senior faculty and scientists engaged in cutting-edge research.
There are more Nigerian doctors, more Nigerian engineers and more Nigerian professors in the United States than in Nigeria. Virtually all of them earned their places in the system by competition and superior performance, not by “taking away jobs meant for honest, hard-working Americans.” And they have kept their places in the system the same way – by superior performance.
Not that it would make any difference to Trump if he knew it, but according to recent research, Nigerians constitute the largest group in the United States with graduate – or post graduate, as we say in Nigeria –degrees.
These are not your thieves stealing jobs from hard-working Americans. These are people who have, through diligent study and application, earned their places under the American sun, a good many of them as American as Trump and Mark Rubio, and more American than the Canadian-born Ted Cruz.
To those Nigerians out there freaking out about what Trump might do to them in the very unlikely event that he is elected U. S. president, I say: rest easy. I commend to you President Harry Truman’s commiseration with five-star general and World War II Supreme Allied Commander, Dwight Eisenhower, who was about to succeed him in The White House.
“Poor Ike,” Truman lamented. “He will give orders, and nothing will happen.”
If Trump issues arbitrary orders, or pursues any of his other crack-brained ideas, he will find himself blockaded by the system of checks and balances, if not by entrenched interests. Little will change. About the only way he or any president for that matter can get anything done on the domestic front – even lofty things — is to tinker around the edges.
Ask Barack Hussein Obama.

Most of these hot chics as they call them are intellectually dumb and i begin to wonder if their hotness is actually an exchange for their brains. Many of them can not hold up intelligent conversations but are always mostly concerned about fashion and very eager to expose their body shamelessly for the world to see forgetting that by so doing,they are shutting the doors of their life to responsible men while attracting those who are only interested in sampling the product they are advertising.
