Na south south get this country, the day we go vex everybody go feel am no caps.

All these na stupid small pikin talk. Why una never ves?

There are many forms of power. Money is a form of power- its financial power. There's intellectual power, there's physical power, there's military power, there's political and influential power, there's spiritual power, there's almighty power. A combination of these different types determines how much power you control.

I can only say congratulations to Tinubu, he is a rugged and a one man battalion fighter,the biggest obstacle he had to the throne was the party primary because there was an opportunity for Buhari to stop him, but he looked the other way as a dullard that he is, I knew from that moment especially when greed overshadowed Atikus' sense of reasoning not to allow a good popular southern candidate and pair the person with a northerner, this would have done the magic. if you guys know Tinubu very well, you wouldn't have gotten any hope in the court upturning his victory, he doesn't joke with details and he is a political strategist, he had planted his loyalist in every sector, including the judiciary, the only hope for an average nigerian now is to pray for Tinubu to use that his manipulative wisdom for the betterment of the common men...

This right here is everything. Tinubu is the strongest and the wisest strategist in the Nigerian political space. Ignore him or offend him at your own peril.

I know some will still say "senseless" but the truth is, it is getting to a time we can't even differentiate between the Church and the World again

Comedians will come on the altar and use the Holy Spirit to crack jokes.
That's why I like the other religion. Draw any non sense that doesn't correlate with their faith and you'll see their other side. Would anyone try using their prophet to crack any joke?

That's why theirs is religion and christianity not a religion. That's why you will never hear a christian bombing or killing people because christianity is not religion. If you've not sinned, cast the first stone. You're one of those people that will stone Jesus for turning water to wine because you're righteous in your eyes. If you like the other religion as you;ve said, go and join them...self righteous individual.

My brother listen very well, I'm married and I will advice you to listen to this:

Everything you have mentioned here about her good qualities are what every man should look for in a woman. You will thank God you marry that lady I promise you bruv.

Now listen to this, we men are strange beings. No matter how good looking your wife is, you will still feel like having sex with another woman who is not even up to your wife by any standard. It is more dangerous if your wife is not beautiful or does not have ass or breast or has a physcial condition which youre not totally down with. Your carnal body will still hunger for these things in other women. Now I know this because I'm married and my wife is beautiful. Every married man is under this battle every day, but discipline and self control is your weapon.

My advice to you now is don't marry her. You see, if you have to seek for advice on a platform like this before you take decision, its because something in you is not validating marrying her and going against that may cause catastrophe in future. You see those good qualities you mentioned are the paramount men should have in their wives, but you see, physical attraction is another big issue. No matter how beautiful your wife is now, that beauty will fade away in future. It is these good qualities in your wife and your own personal discipline that keeps the marriage going. Now if you're already having a problem with physical attraction, please don't marry her. But if you know within you that you will discipline yourself regardless of what she looks like and you want peace in your marriage (which is the topmost of the needs of a man in marriage, coupled with respect which you already mentioned she has for you), marry her.

Shalom.

It is not just going with what the majority decides. Foolishness is doing something repeatedly and expecting a different result. Nigeria needs someone who has capacity to solve the numerous complex problems she's facing (from economy to insecurity, to infrastructure, to human capacity development, health, power and so on or it would be another 8 years of confusion and suffering. This person must be someone who already has experience in the system; he's not going there study but to take action and put things in place the way they supposed to be. You already know who the person is if you will see beyond tribal and political sentiments.

This is a sad news. All this man knows is to attend parties, functions and travel abroad. He's very dull and doesnt deserve to be re-elected. How i wish the people of Ogun can go for the PDP guy just to let them know power belongs to the people. Thesame thing i want in Lagos state to purnish APC for mis-handling the endsars protest.

Invitationn:
You're being a idealist.
I admire your "uncolonized" mindset though your optimism too; Naira can become a foreign reserve
Excerpts from your submission;
That is because we manufacture nothing and import everything
That infrastructure costs money and should BE PRIORITIZED over export infrastructure.
If they cannot get cheap gas then they MIGHT be forced to shift production to our country.

All coming from your "uncolonized" mind.
We barely produce a thing, we import everything where do we get the money to "Prioritize" the infrastructure if we don't export our natural resources? Or would you rather have us borrow like we've been doing?
You use what you have to build what you don't have. Common sense!
And talking about "forcing" investors to shift production to our country as if we're the only country with natural gas You see how idealistic you are. You seem to be out of touch with reality.

Honestly, you said every word out of my mouth. People applauding him have no knowledge of reality and what global economics is. I was just laughing; sounding so genius in everything he said. Though he's right about the internal utilization of gas and using that to boost our economy but the whole idea that we dont need to build foreign reserve through gas export and it's because of colonized mindset opened up how dumb he is...like seriously? Does he know what it would take for Naira to become a dominant currency in global trade and foreign reserves to start stocking up naira as a global trade foreign exchange. No matter how strong your currency is, you have no choice to stock up dollar. Your currency is only strong within, it would take a miracle to beat dollar in the global market. What's the level of your country's partcipation in the scheme of things globally. That guy should be writing fictional movies...hehehehe. You statement said it all though; he's out of touch with reality. Even China and singapore won't ask for your naira when they see dollar no matter how strong your naira is.

This guy has been doing some repositioning and rebranding lately. My question is why are all these changes coming now? Where was he during the SARS brouhaha? Why was there no reforming actions like he's doing now?

"People should know its Amechi coming in as President but they can go and pray if they don't want him"...ok oooo. It is well.

naija4life247:
You go cry tire. Omisore is the godfather of Osun politics, even the Jagaban Borgu had to align with Omisore in order to disgrace Ade Dancer a.k.a. F9 Parallel the other time.

Now, Omisore has said that he next assignment is to return Oyetola for 2nd term.

MC Oluomo is also coming with we Lagos boys. And Tinubu is coming with his bullion vans. So, how will Ade Dancer win? Even if he dances nakked, he cannot not smell government house.

This guy you be weryey oooo...hehehehehehehe

Sequel to my previous post about my boss and I.
It was a dramatic day for me yesterday. While everyone was enjoying Valentine's day celebration, I was summoned to a panel to explain my reasons for having to yell at my superior at work and not reporting to HR just like everyone has been suggesting on the comment section.
So I honoured the panel while a member of the board of directors was invited to hear from both parties.
My boss was emphasizing on the fact that I don't do the duties assigned to me, which is a BIG FAT LIE. Basically, he didn't have any cogent reason for his negative actions towards me. It was just pure hatred. I was then asked to talk, then I told the panel that since I was posted to his department, I've been getting negative vibes from him for no reason. I endured the whole hatred for 2 years and 3months under him without any retaliation.
Luckily, the MD had been briefed about the whole thing.
Now, i need you all to understand that I have a personal relationship with the MD.
So while the panel was ongoing, the MD called on zoom and interfered in the meeting. After hearing from both of us, he gladly ordered that my now EX BOSS be transferred to our portharcourt branch while someone else takes over with immediate effect.
Before I decided to yell at him, I had already made up my mind for whatever the outcome would be cos I had been pushed to the wall. Then the promotion even worsened the whole issue to the point that he couldn't hold the hatred other than to show it to me.
During pep talk this morning, y'all needed to see the look on his face. It was obvious he wanted me out, but to God be the glory, reverse is the case.

The MD later called me personally to admonish me about taking laws into my hands. I apologized and the whole thing ended.

I'm sorry for the long talk, but that's how it all played out.
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. God bless us all.

Now let me say this, you're very lucky. I beg most of you in this same condition never to adopt this method; you will regret forever. That boy that told you one of the rules of power is never to offend the wrong person was very very right. Bosses are in that category and i will say that your strategy paid off ONLY because you're related to the MD...again, your boss is also stupid not knowing this; not knowing that you were the wrong person he wasn't supposed to mess with.

However, please anyone reading this, dont challenge your bosses no matter what. Even though he's your enemy, have a plan. Be an enemy too but dont show it to him. Let him see you as weak but strategise and know when to strike hard. The message here is never challenge your boss openly. I've been in the corporate for long and i have never seen anyone that survived it.

The problem is that you're making it a gender issue. I should apologise also for not saying men. No woman should marry a man that has no understanding, discipline and character. I didnt mention man here because the subject here is woman. In any case, have you read what the man said about their divorce? I dont need to be in their house to believe what was written. Again, i beg of you to erase this gender war mentality from your mind; it would affect everything about you. Dont see anything said about any woman as war. Dont join this generation in that battle. Your mind dictates your happenings and your happeninngs define your life. Shalom.

cafolu:
So just because of divorce abi separation, a woman now lacks character, has become empty and has nothing to offer? So someone cannot leave a marriage, a polygamous one for that matter? Are you sure the man she was married to doesn't have problems she got tired of managing? Make una no dey insult women o! It's not a crime to be female please! How you can just comfortably insult a perfect stranger you know absolutely nothing about and have no personal relationship with whatsoever is just plain crazy.

Dont marry a woman that has no character and who is empty and has nothing to offer. An example is the topic here. Beautiful but empty of character and brain.

Truth is that peace is an indication of the presence of wits and wisdom. Simple!

ScamHunter:
It started in the NE as Boko Haram, now it's in NW as bandits, now it's starting in SE as Unknown Gunmen. All these have cumulatively led to the death of thousands of soldiers. Now I've been wondering which country survives a war against itself. With three regions at war with Nigeria, commonsense should tell you that the country is in trouble unless something is done and fast.

Is it the SS and NC that won't agitate? As far as I know, even Niger is now mostly under BH cum Bandits so what's left of NC? With the killings in Benue and Plateau, who knows how long before the people there would say enough is enough?

That brings us to the subject of the SW or YorubaLand which is suddenly calm after Sunday Igboho question was settled. I have no doubt that the SW will become the most peaceful region since as far as we know, it is the only region that is ready to succumb and hand over their ancestral land to Fulani without a fight. So, it is actually going to become the most peaceful region. Why don't other regions embrace peace like our SW brethren. After all, Fulani are only interested in land - forest land they've already occupied in YorubaLand. If this peaceful tribe can condone the capture of their territory, why can't all other tribes?

And those that are not fearful are being killed everyday and running away from thesame land they are protecting. Come and learn strategy from the Yorubas then you will understand. If your true is so wise, courageous and fearless, why haven't you produced a president in the 4th Republic? Why are your people killed and maimed everyday without any headway in your agitations?

DoggoneDogg:
Peaceful because they have been conquered.

Their leader has been poisoned in a strange land yet they can't say a word.

That's not peace, it's FEAR

Because it is full of wise people who apply strategy rather than foolishness. Wisdom is stronger than weapons of war and because they are wise people, there's peace.

Everything you have said here is 100% correct but I will still rather prefer the North to the Igbos; no hatred involved. I've travelled round Nigeria at my level, age wise, school wise and professional wise and I can tell you authoritatively that the most self centered and tribalistic ethnic group in Nigeria are the Igbos. I'm not clout casing or trying to stir up any resentment, this is the truth. The most nonaccommodating and self centred human beings in Nigeria are the Igbos.

humilitypays:
Remove Northern Nigeria from Nigeria and you will have a thriving and prosperous nation that will be based on merit.


Igbos and Yorubas will only be competing in who would make their region more developed and advanced.



Northern Nigeria is dragging Nigeria so backward and it hurts a lot.


The only reason Igbos criticize Yorubas is because Yorubas out of fear or cowardice like to side with The North just to get some crumbs that fell off Northern political supremacy table, except that, Igbos dont have any single issue with Yorubas.



Northern Military Heads of States consecutively destroyed Nigeria and looted Nigeria's treasury dry, shared Nigeria's crude oil wells to their family members, friends and lovers, and created a useless constitution that further held Nigeria on the floor and the same North has refused to allow honest constitutional review and restructuring to position Nigeria for greatness yet Yorubas continue to align with them out of fear.



Dear Yorubas, dont you all know that a purely Yoruba nation will be a developed nation than the dilapidated Nigeria you guys think its better for you today just because of the federal favour Lagos is getting under Nigeria and because you want a Yoruba President

Those things can never be compared to having a total Yoruba controlled nation with your gallant Yoruba youths being solely in charge of your security and territory that no invader or land grabber or terrorist can dare enter to kill or rape your women


What makes a nation prosperous and great is the love and passion the citizens have for it not the population it has or the amount of natural mineral resources it has. Human capital development is far more richer than natural mineral resources. Does Switzerland, Luxembourg or Japan or Taiwan or Singapore or South Korea have any crude oil or gold or diamond yet they are among the richest countries on earth?

Yorubas please think! Igbos are never your enemies like most of you ignorantly believe. Igbos are only asking for equity, fairness and meritocracy for all tribes and peoples of Nigeria. Can you as Yoruba man or woman point to any evil Igbos collectively did to you aside the usual political propagandas against Igbos. Ronu oh

I wasn't a church goer nor a wayward/ bad person, but the best graduating student.

If you don't mind can you help me with a job?

Oh great! Happy for your excellent mind but sad about your position regarding getting a job. I must confess it is not easy in this harsh environment we've found ourselves.

Sadly, i dont have any position opened where you may be fixed but please, what was your major?

I was a church goer, the best graduating student and have the best job in my set.vwgat nonsense are you talking about. Infact reverse is the case from my point of view. I know alot of church goers doing great today.

africanusvu:
,So,bros,after all this grammar,where and what are your points

I am not responsible for your lack of understanding. If you cannot comprehend and take deductions from my post, i cannot help you. I presume you're a graduate and you know what it means to take an inference from a writeup. If you cannot do this, go back to your school and request for your tuition. It is a waste!

I'm of the opinion that while you concentrate in building your career, you also take out time to build other areas of your life.

For a typical day at work, first thing i do is to take a sheet of paper and write out my plan for the day. So i divide my time at work into 2: 8-12noon and 1-4 pm. My 8-12noon comprises of doing my tasks: responding to mails, executing tasks, attending meetings, taking out time to update myself with news around the world(nairaland has been helpful), when i'm getting bored, do a little of instagram, take out time when its available to read some pages of a book. By 12 noon, i take out time to pray and take lunch. I repeat my 8-12noon in my 1-4pm.

Take out time to read not gisting and pleasure always, serve God through evangelism towards the weekend, invest in building great relationships in the weekend, enjoy your life also in the weekend. If you dont want to regret in future, your mondays to fridays must be for you through adequate investment of your time in building your life. Weekend is for serving God and ofcos pleasure.

Thanks.

He has a right to bail until proven guilty. But may he never survive if he's truly guilty of this hideous offence.

This is what a black man does not put into consideration when selecting leaders. Intelligence and good track record must be at the vanguard of selecting leadership. In Africa we prefer going for someone popular who has no track record of what he has created with his resources, what he has to offer the populace and what problems he has solved in his life. So we continue to circulate people who have not managed their own personal life and resources; has no successful personality or who stole to he to where he is and the suffering continues. May God help us.

No, the option is not to borrow. The option is to reduce expenditure, increase savings and investments. Monitor and control expenditure and eradicate wastages. Dull leaders are always reacting to manage the economy by borrowing. But wise leaders who doesnt want to eat today and sell the future of their children will borrow and still embezzle what they borrowed and make the future suffer.

Moreover, why are we poor today? Because foolish past leaders refused to save the future. If they had invested in building more refineries and diversify the economy by investing aggressively in Agriculture, manufacturing and initiate a zero importation dependent economy, we wont be suffering today. Sadly, foolish leaders of today are still going around implementing thesame foolish strategy of the past leaders; building road rails that has no direct impact on the vast citizenry, implementing white elephant projects. May God help us.

This attitude and mindset is what has kept Africa behind other continents. Lack of understanding.

I have even exceeded it. Setting new plans for next year already.

But i wonder why people are so gullible in this country. Anyone that promises you transformation of economy within 4 years has deceived you. I dont belong to any party and i'm not affected by what is going on in this country. Consult those that are specialists in economy management, it's impossible to fix the economy in 4 years they will tell you. You have many factors that are against you. If you choose to focus on one sector another one will suffer. Again, i can see the gullible Nigerians listening to another liar promising them different appetizing strategies to reinvigorate the economy. They are all lies i tell you guys. See, until we start addressing the main issues killing this country nothing we happen. I weep for the youths of this country wasting their destinies. How can you say you are paying a public office holder 50 million per month. Senators collecting staggering salaries and allowances and you expect thieves not to die for such positions. Note that Nigeria will not move anywhere if you have the wrong mindsets in power. If you have thieves, hooligans, rough and touts as your leaders. You need people that are ready to serve. People that want to make a name not a living. You need visionary leaders that would put structures that will outlive them in place but we still support people that kept us in slavery. I wonder if people are thinking especially the youths. Someone that is not able to boast of any viable business before coming to power now has a mulitibillion Naira building in his state and no one asks how. Well, everything about life is choice. No matter how you pray, if you dont CHOOSE to receive and take the right steps, you prayer is in vain. May God help us all. Amen.

It is not about getting a solar plant. Is there a maintenance plan that would keep the integrity of the plant and extend its life. What kind of people are going to be working there? Are we not going to use our unserious nature and approach to get them back to disaster?

vaxx:
Then oyedepo is not realistic or maybe he has myopic mind on what it takes to win nobel laurel. Usually what it takes to win a Nobel in economics is to write the seminal paper in what will eventually become a vibrant subfield. If other researchers consistently cite you as the originator of the research program they are working in, that puts you in the running for a Nobel.

People typically win their Nobel about twenty or thirty years after making the contribution that will eventually win it for them. The work needs to stand the test of time.

It clearly shows you dont know the man Oyedepo. Everything about what he has achieved today were tagged impossible by many. Do you know the events surrounding the building of the tabernacle? Do you know the impossiible feats that surrounded the institution of COvenant University till date? Well, we shall see.

DO you know what would happen to this country if we have visionary leaders like this in Politics? But our evil nature will never make us appreciate people like this amongst us.

Lol...Ok we shall see what happens to this new development. I don't argue. But I feel sad for you people. Ojukwu was wiser than this guy, yet nothing happened. May God help you people. Wait...do you think there's a country on the surface of the earth that will facilitate the secession of another country? Sit down and think about it. Even US will do nothing about this issue. Go and write this down. I won't reply you but I will find you in the next 5 year's and ask how far? Lol. Ignorance is the greatest disease.
