This arrangement is more or less a crude and petroleum product swap. FG still wants to control the price of the products.

So guys i often wonder is it OK to love wifey more than our mom. like can a man put his wife first before his mom?

a neighbor of mine sent his mom away all because she had altercation with the wife and told the wife to leave her son and set him free from her juju ,

i wanted to put mouth but don't want to insert my self in family matter . nothing will make me send my mom away like that though .

so guys would you do it?

The simple answer can be yes or no! But looking at it critically, a mother's love is different from the love of a wife and we all have the capacity to properly compartmentalise these love.

What is truly different between a mother and a wife is influence, most of their fued are not about any other thing than influence on the son or husband, that ability to assert control.

A mother builds this influence over time, a wise wife will make time her ally and build influence.

I sympathise with all farmers, it's super tough to have invested so much into planting and a drought of a month messes yield up. Just out of curiosity has anyone tried drip irrigation with local parts like a tank, punctured pvc pipes or hoses, pumps, valves etc? We may not be able to afford when foreign implements, but we can sure make local replication to solve our problems.

I'm very disappointed with Dangote, I assumed he was prepared for all this backlash. David is spot on ( I can't believe I'm saying this about David, not his fan), what we see is the finger of our regulators but the hand of foreign interests. It's not magical that under Gen Abacha the refineries were working and democracy gradually turned them comatose. Whatever is not working in Nigeria is business to foreign companies, Ajaokuta is a case study. Fela explained in his ITT record how this thing is done, we are heavily plagued with unpatriotic countrymen who are willing to sell our future for Rolls Royce, or mansions overseas. It's not about God helping us anymore, it's about us helping ourselves.

Goodness me, the rumors of senator Saraki's mother being from Zimbabwe were false after all.

Nigeria goes through the motions and doesn't learn. This messiah mentality has destroyed the very fabric of our institutions. No one man can save Nigeria, Mr Peter Obi can't save Nigeria, if he could he would have first saved Anambra state. An army of leaders in every facet of government is what we need not a Messiah.

If a church worker commits adultery or fornication, should they tell their pastor or church leadership about it or just repent and move on?

God is loving, forgiving and merciful, and he forgives the worst sinner.

Now, when a church worker commits fornication or adultery, such worker should in wisdom inform the pastor and seek for prayers also. He or she may also tell a trusted church leader about such acts.

But firstly, the person should repent of it and then speak to a trusted leader or the persons clergy or pastor about such acts. This is in general terms in a bible-believing and good church. This also applies to committing adultery in marriage or cheating in courtship.

Such acts should be confessed to the partner, as God will not like such secrets to be hidden and covered.

Ideally, it should be so, but realistically it can be a problematic. People are in different stages of development, it's sad to say but a number of church leaders are very underdeveloped in handling delicate matters.

If President Biden doesn't voluntarily step down, the possibilities for a replacement are scarce.

Elections are about winning, the democrats don't have any other candidate that can compete with Trump. Package Biden well and win the election, America doesn't necessarily need a president for governance, the system takes care of itself.

He is partially right, let tinubu cut the cost of Governance by 70%.

It's not more about cutting cost of governance, if we take the whole cost of governance and give it to the people, it's still not enough. Divide the budget by the population and you will get the point.

We are sharing a 12" cake to a thousand people, it's only natural that that many people will get either crumbs or nothing. We need to bake a 200" size cake so that people can get a reasonable size piece.

Do you agree with Rishi Sunak? What would have been your reaction if it was the president of Nigeria that put out this post?

The statement is generally true but specifically false. To succeed in life we need structured discipline, one of the best places to learn structured discipline is the university. Things like how to manage time, resources, meet target, structure your activities, meet deadline are learnt in university. I'm not saying it can't be learnt outside university, it's just harder doing it outside.

I thought federal high courts do not have jurisdiction over chieftaincy matters, that responsibility is vested on the state courts.

Nigeria is not working because the state governments are not working. Let's ask these speakers how many laws they have passed on multiple taxation in their states or easy of doing business or extortion of citizens, or soft loans to small holder farmers and traders.

Tinubu isn't the problem the incompetence of our states have glorified the office of the president.

OldBeer:
Maryanne Moghalu, the wife of former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) deputy governor and ex-presidential candidate Kingsley Moghalu, has sparked a social media storm with her recent social media post cautioning against investing in Lagos.

In the wake of the contentious dispute between Landmark, a prominent real estate developer, and the Federal Government, Maryanne Moghalu took to Social media to share her advice. Her post, which has since garnered over 200,000 views, serves as a warning to potential investors regarding the current climate in Lagos.

It's worth noting that Kingsley Moghalu was the presidential candidate for the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in the country's general election in February 2019.

The controversy surrounding Landmark and the Federal Government has raised concerns about the stability of investment opportunities in Lagos. Maryanne Moghalu's post adds to the ongoing dialogue about the implications of such disputes on the business environment in Nigeria's commercial capital.

Business issues like this are not solved by rantings, the owner of landmark has continually been trying to use public opinion to solve this problem and it hasn't worked. He needs to get his powerful friends to help him get an audience with Mr president when ever he is in Lagos, invite him to landmark beach, show him around and get the staff to meet him, after which pitch the alternative route to him. There is a reason why dangote, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu etc always get their way, its the relationships they build.

Valoromega:
I've been married for 2 years now with a new born baby. the issue now is that anytime we have issues my wife always threatens to leave.
she will arrange and bag and say she's leaving. this has happened more tha 4 times, basically anytime we have issues as a couple.

She will say she's still young and she can't take any nonsense in marriage, Mind u i have never hit her before so this isnt a case of domestic violence, just normal couples issue.

I'm tired of this and i'm thinking about my options right now, I want to tell her to leave but she should drop my child for me. she can't use our marriage as a threat everytime we have issues

I think your wife may be a little immature, all leaving the marriage drama, is simply aimed at getting your attention. She simply wants to feel like the prize she truly is. It is one thing to get her to stop saying this, it's another thing for her to shift to another gimmick of attention seeking. I will suggest you solve the problem from it's roots, the next time she says she wants to leave do not stand in her way, let her go, don't say any hurtful words to her just an ok. Two things different scenarios will play out. The first is that she realises that her bluff isn't working again and the second is that she truly leaves. If she does leave immediately call the father or father figure in and let him know his daughter has dumped the marriage and is on her way to his house (make sure you control the narrative).

She will eventually come back, before she does, make sure you have a conversation on effective communication, arguements, and outbursts. That conversation should set the tone for communication. You will be shocked that her agitation comes from you raising your voice or stuffs like that.

Please remember your child needs the both of you, you are not the problem, she is not the problem, effective communication is the problem, so fix it.

Where is the evidence? EFCC and the John Ayo go explain TIRE, no evidence. You do not convict on media trial, you convict with EVIDENCE, which EFCC does not have.

I don't think John Ayo will be stupid enough talk and not protect himself because asking him to collect the money has automatically made him the fall guy.

In a way I agree with him, our state governments have not matured enough and hence cannot find and manage a police system. We need to change laws like the land use act in such a way that it brings prosperity to individual, then the state can tax those individuals. Our state and local governments are weak.

Qwertyuiop1:
Please consider this a layman's question.
Last night before I went to bed, at about 11PM I checked dollar to naira rate and it was #1,151/$. Waking up this morning (in less than 7 hours) I checked again and it has plummeted to #1,075/$.

What exactly happened over the night while I was sleeping? I've got like $5K cash and it's reason I've been monitoring the rate even tho I'm absolutely a layman who has no idea what's happening. I only had the money last year and a colleague advised me to convert to dollar and keep which she claimed to be the safest way to retain my money's worth but as it stands, I'm at loss already. What happened please? Or is google not reliable?

CBN has a tight grip on the exchange rate as we speak so hopes of getting higher rates are slim. The true value of the naira is about #1200/$, during the Buhari government it's value should have been about #800/$ but they kept the value artificial for political reasons.

Cut your losses and move on. You clearly don't have an appetite for high risk investment, you should stick to low risk instruments like money market and treasury bills.

VinnyBaba:

In my Secondary School and University WhatsApp groups,
I hardly Comment or make contributions.

I see them online talking about social media trends, Our School days, Visitations,etc and I always Wonder 'Do these Pple have Jobs and ambitions?'.

I talked to a Friend of mine About this and he said 'I am Anti-Social or an Introvert'.

But Really, I see those Alumni WhatsApp Groups as an Organization of Time Wasters.

HOW ABOUT YOU?
Comment.

I think you may need to consider the purpose of some of these groups before you make a conclusion. Many of these groups are just social expressions of the good old days, that in itself is not bad, because it's a form of entertainment people happen to like.

I have been on a number of old students group and most of not all have been a total waste of time, job opportunities were not shared, business partnerships were not formed, there were very few collaboration, even networking wasnt strong. They did a few seminars, a lot of give away, quiz about the past, and plenty of hangout some cliques wars were fought.

I came to a conclusion that intentionality is key in the creation of groups, purpose has to be clearly
defined. Collaboration is not one of our forte as a people so it is difficult for us to practice it in bigger groups.

Mr Ogbechie is speculating, he is right that the government may be subsidising petrol but he can't prove the price or how such subsidy is paid. The subsidy might be in form of crude for petrol exchange or cash, but one sure thing is that the marketers are not being paid subsidy.

According to the minister "250 meters from the shoreline belongs to the FG", who sold landmark the property of the FG? Who approved the landmark project in the first place, knowing fully well that the shoreline belongs to the FG? Why is Lagos state demolition thirsty after they must have given a nod to the project in the first place.These things don't make make sense.

https://www.arise.tv/the-worst-of-labour-party-is-better-than-the-best-of-apc-says-kenneth-okonkwo/

This is very untrue, labour party has been a small party for long, a little limelight that Obi gave the party, the Nigeria effect begins to show. The more the power the worse the party becomes. Some overzealous fellow like Mr Okonkwo don't understand the realism of Nigerian politics, they live in idealism.

First of all, there has never been any governor Vs deputy governor battle in Nigeria were the deputy came out triumphant. The lesson to this is never mess with the boss. I expected that Oga Philip will go back to the national assembly, consolidate there and come back to stake a claim to the gubernatorial ticket.

divinehand2003:
Certainly! Let's address the GidGiddi's concerns and present a compelling case for why Peter Obi should indeed consider running for the office of the President of Nigeria in 2027. 🇳🇬

**Why Peter Obi Should Run for President in 2027: A Counterargument**

1. Turning Rigged Elections into a Battle for Integrity:
- While it's true that Nigerian elections have faced challenges, Peter Obi's candidacy can be a turning point. Rather than avoiding the race, he can champion electoral integrity.
- Imagine Obi as the candidate who refuses to accept rigged results, who mobilizes citizens to demand transparency, and who fights for electoral reforms. His courage could inspire change.

2. Navigating Complexity with Nuance:
- Yes, Nigeria is multifaceted—ethnic, religious, and ideological fault lines abound. But isn't that precisely why we need a leader like Obi?
- His nuanced understanding of Nigeria's diversity positions him to bridge gaps. He can emphasize shared values, promote dialogue, and build consensus. Obi's presidency could be a unifying force.

3. The Engine Needs a Skilled Driver:
- The analogy of Nigeria as a car with a knocked engine is apt. But consider this: a skilled driver can influence the engine's repair.
- Peter Obi's leadership isn't just about occupying an office; it's about fixing the engine. His track record suggests he can address corruption, improve governance, and prioritize development.

4. Legacy Beyond Philanthropy:
- Philanthropy is commendable, but the presidency offers a broader canvas. Obi's impact as President would extend far beyond individual lives.
- Imagine policies that uplift millions, transform education, and create an environment where philanthropy thrives. His legacy could be transformative.

5. A Beacon of Hope and Inspiration:
- Nigeria yearns for leaders who embody hope. Obi's journey—from a village near yours to international success—is inspiring.
- His presidency would signal that merit, competence, and integrity matter. Young Nigerians would see a path to leadership beyond the usual suspects.

6. The Courage to Challenge the Status Quo:
- Obi's refusal to accept a "cursed office" could be reframed. What if he enters that office not as a victim but as a disruptor?
- Imagine a President Obi who challenges norms, dismantles entrenched systems, and insists on accountability. His courage could redefine the presidency.

7. The Engine Can Be Overhauled:
- Yes, no Nigerian President has been perfect. But isn't that an opportunity? Obi can be the catalyst for systemic change.
- His administration could prioritize electoral reforms, strengthen institutions, and empower citizens. The engine may be knocked, but it's not irreparable.

8. Leadership Amidst Storms:
- Every leader faces storms—propaganda, sabotage, and ideological battles. But isn't that the crucible of leadership?
- Obi's resilience, strategic thinking, and ability to navigate adversity could be assets. He won't achieve everything, but progress is possible.

9. The Call to Duty:
- Sometimes leaders emerge not because they seek power, but because duty calls. Obi's duty—to Nigeria, to its people—could propel him.
- Imagine a President who wakes up each day driven by service, not ego. His humility could be transformative.

10. The Hope of a Better Nigeria:
- Ultimately, Peter Obi's decision isn't just personal; it's about Nigeria's future. We need leaders who dare to dream.
- So, let's encourage him. Let's tell him that despite the odds, despite the cynicism, he can be the change Nigeria craves.

In summary, Peter Obi's candidacy isn't just about him—it's about us, about Nigeria. Let's envision a presidency that defies conventions, repairs the engine, and sets a new course. 🇳🇬✨

The big question is what does Nigeria really need? Do we need the same politician selling their Messiah rethoric or do we need a restructured nation that can allow for equity and competition. We need to decide exactly what we want.

Which of the two pricing options do you think customers will grab faster?

If you are selling to Nigerians go with seller B. Nigerians love the word free, once the word free is an advert it captures their attention.
