If we are reading this now my guess is boko haram must have read it too and probably changed base. My issues with our security agency is the way they manage intelligence info why hasn't this particular camp been found before the release of this story

You and your wife can go privately to the pastor to bless your marriage, there is no law that says you must have a wedding ceremony in my Church a couple did their marriage on Sunday, they dressed in the normal wedding dresses but the church joined them in 10 minutes and afterwards we continued our Sunday worship service.

Switzerland will return to Nigeria some $380 million
(360 million euros) linked to ex-dictator Sani Abacha,
Geneva’s public prosecutor said Tuesday, adding that it was closing a 16-year case on the funds.

Abacha ruled oil-rich Nigeria with an iron fist from 1993 until he died in 1998. The economy grew under his rule, though he was seen as extremely corrupt and faced criticism over his human rights abuses in the oil-rich nation.

The decision to return the funds follows a July 2014 deal between Nigeria and the Abacha family. Under the agreement, the funds would be confiscated and returned to Nigeria, while Abuja would drop its case
against the deceased dictator’s son Abba Abacha.

The $380 million had been placed in several accounts
abroad that were controlled by the Abacha family,
which is considered a criminal organisation, the Geneva prosecutors’ office said in a statement.

The money was seized in 2006 in Luxembourg, under
orders from the Swiss authorities. The Abacha family had also placed some $500 million (530 million euros) in Swiss banks, though those funds have already been returned to Nigeria.

The $380 million will be returned under the World
Bank’s supervision, said the prosecutor’s office.
The authorities have also decided to drop their case
against Abba Abacha, which began in 1999.

In 2012, the dictator’s son was handed a one-year
suspended prison sentence for participating in a
criminal organisation.

Switzerland’s top court cancelled the sentence in May
2014, citing procedural reasons. The Geneva prosecutor’s office on Tuesday said Abba Abacha has already been detained for 561 days from 2004 to 2006, without receiving compensation.

The Abacha affair began in 1999, when Nigeria asked the Swiss judicial authorities to help it recover $2.2 billion ($2 billion euros) embezzled and siphoned off by Sani Abacha while he was in power.

rubbish abacha died 17 years ago, lets say we put this money in fixed deposit at an interest rate of 10% per annum thats 38 million a year multiplied by 17 a whooping 646 million dollars in profit alone.

As I've always said GEJ is or can be the most loved and respected president we have ever had if and only if he is sold to Nigerians the proper way. Negative publicity is killing his reelection bid, in 2011 he came with his I had no shoes slogan and sold virtually all the youths out. Doyin Ruben ffk and his wife are selling GEJ as if we are at war.

so we should ignore apc wrong and overlook it because they are apc but crucify pdp because the minority don't like them ,abi?

you are missing the point because partisanism is clouding your judgement, because APC did wrong does not give PDP the moral right to do wrong.Whoever did wrong should be punished but because they are not punished does not give others the audacity to do wrong. i am afraid that our politicians have redefined our morals as a people which is a catalyst to a broken society.

onatisi:
what about buhari that lied under oath and is seeking to be the president ?

two wrongs don't make a right they simply create a chaotic society. if we keep substituting wrong with wrong we soon will run out of rights.

My heart bleeds for the youths of this country, what is wrong with our sense of morality? The main participated in rigging an election and even implicated our President in the plot and we reward him with ministerial position. This is not about APC or PDP this is flat wrong

Saimeritus:
The past 3 girlfriend I had dumped me because I refused to do the thing with them. I'm from a very responsible family and I had a covenant with God not to have sex until marriage. I have been good to those girls , buys them lots of gift cos I'm on 3 scholarships.The day I went to the home of my 2nd gf, we were all alone in the house, she kept touching me but I didn't make a move. This infuriated her. The next day I called her, she keeps busying my calls. She dumped me just like that. My last gf came to my room at school the other day and I cooked for her, entertained her very well but when she showed green light , I rejected it. I have been calling her since then but she doesn't pick my calls. They all say that I'm not a man. pls what should I do to keep a good girl into a relationship? I think I am a failure when it comes to relationships. candid advice needed

You are doing the right thing bro it isn't wise to join ones self to different women. Above this I think you have a tiny flaw which is you are attracted to the wrong set of ladies I would advice that you have lady platonic friends and from there study their character and make better decisions, I would also advise that you concentrate on your studies and less on a girlfriend, if you are not after sex platonic/study friends will do

You followed your pastor at the expense of following God. He that findeth a wife not he that the pastor says the should marry, and the bible says do not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever and you yoked yourself with an IFA man. Your pastor is not number one authority in your life as a Christian God is your number one authority because you confessed him as your Lord, if you prioritize your life in this way God will help you get out of the mess you put yourself in.

The best I can tell about the card readers is that the PVC is slotted into the machine and ones fingerprint is used to authenticate that he/she is valid to vote and the cards belongs to the said voter. We can't expect the technology to be 100% effective as its a new technology and new people handling it, but I think we are on the right direction as if we use it now or in 4 years time we are still going to use it and there are still going to be flaws then and now. Its clear to us that some disgruntled elements have decided to truncate the electoral process by unlawfully buying PVC or employing other crude methods to rig the election and the pendulum is not swinging in their direction presently.

I would allow my pregnant wife do what ever she wants as far as its safe for her and the baby. Op's worry is as a result of Nigerian in activeness we seldom do sports or take risk.

Your options are 3 bro,
1). You both can believe God for a miracle, this is the easy option and it does work. My best friend was AS and he was worried about having to like someone of same genotype and not being able to marry the person, he believed God for a change and today he is AA.
2). When my late sister was sick and we were looking at pur options the doctor told us of a bone marrow transplants procedure. The SS patient gets an AA donor a close relative or anyone that match, the SS marrow is removed and replaced with part of the donors AA marrow and since the marrow produces the blood the SS patients starts producing AA blood. Do not take my sketchy explanation for it go do some research about d procedure.
3). I have a close relative who lost his dad to SS at a young age and a year before that he lost his mum and he had to take responsibility for his siblings those were tough years for him, now before he goes on a date with anyone his first question is what's your genotype. Crisis periods are really trying times that require sacrifice and devotion. If you are to up to the task of standing the heat don't go into the kitchen. Yes she might be a really good woman, but she is not the last good woman in the world. Count the cost of before building a marriage with this woman.

God is not a contract killer his angels are no assassin.

I've noticed something alarming about many Nigerians, they are more about short term gains than long term rewards. Its good that we have finally been able to build APC for our military but how sustainable is this process? And pls can we stop this nonsense of tagging politicians with good or bad projects what about our own benefit as citizens?

IVM run for your life, this thing has happened before to VW and Peugeot the day FG decides to pull the plug like they always do chances of recovery will be slim its better to build vehicles and sell to the masses. We need you to survive because u are our Nigeria success story.

This needs to stop, let's learn to tolerate ourselves irrespective of our views

I really hate to hear things like this, being a job seeker doesn't bankrupt you of common sense. A taskforce that is created with no backing from the law? It was only created in Lagos state? You have to make payments for to secure the job? The said organisation is at loggerheads with other government organisations? You have to sell your body to get the job? I now get why employers say that our graduates are unemployable they simply can't correlate information from past and present to make intelligent decisions. Social media is filled with the strategy of a job scams we know these scams but have failed to apply what we know in decision making, I mean what federal militia or monitoring unit is there that is created that is not backed by law. I sympathise with them but one really has to keep both eyes open in the times we are in.

I'm totally against physical and emotional abuse irrespective of what angle it comes from, but two wrongs don't make a right only mad people beat up their spouses.

Lets look at it from the other side of the coin, it will be an opportunity for our soldiers to be trained in antiterrorism. We might need to also be careful we don't lift the racist embargo that ISIS has for boko haram. We have to weight our options and make a decision.

Compromise is the word I am an introvert while my fiancée is an extrovert I do understand the need for her to go out as one of her characteristic trait, so at times I have to satisfy this need as I don't want to risk someone else fulfilling this need and she does same for me. If we are going to walk together we have to agree, we both have to make sacrifices most times that's what love does and there are times that I sense that an outing is real important to her I push myself to go with her and most time she thanks me afterwards as she sees it as a sacrifice on my path.

Some people can still afford it. Don't forget the Almeria is said to follow. This is commendable, especially when you consider that Michelin and Peugeot left Nigeria during previous administrations.

My fear is that these vehicles will end up being bought by government as official fleets making the survival based on the government hence if government sneezes the company catches cold. Peugeot closed down was non patronage for its biggest customer the government what is the guarantee of sustainability of the likes of these vehicle producers as they are more or less repeating history as Peugeot did what guarantee do we have of their survival in. Say 20 years? I would have love to see vehicles in the range of 1-2million naira or possibly a motor payment plan at low interest, I would prefer a the vehicles to be low cost than mortgage plan as it will boost our export and truth be told if the average Nigerian can't afford it our neighbouring countries can't too. This is a legacy of GEJ I suggest that he articulates it well to make it a legend to posterity.

nice development but im wondering how many nigerians can afford to buy a Nissan Patrol as it costs nothing less than 10 million.

[quote author=yinkfad555 post=30687572][/quote]Just get it straight south south is not biafra your secession is OYO. Better get the economics of your survival right.

GreenWhiteGreen:
Why do Nigerians lie so much like this ? In your write up, you said your friend is VERY RELIGIOUS. So how can a religious person be sex starved ? Truth is you are too canal minded, not religious as you think you are. There are more things to derive joy from than sex.

Because you are spiritual doesn't mean you are always operating in the spirit 24/7 spiritual people need to have conversation, eat, sleep, sex, exercise etc these are all basic needs that the body derives joy in. If a carnal man can be hungry for food same goes for a spiritual man, this goes for all other basic physical needs.

I've said it times and again sex and affection go hand in hand shower your wife with affection sometimes and you get sex sometimes shower her with affection all the time and you get sex all the time. Do tell your friend that it is number one priority to fear God, but in dealing with fellow humans we need wisdom and much more understanding. He needs to get informed on how to love and care for a woman, he needs to know her love language and her most and least important needs. This is not to exonerate the wife ooo she ought not to stave him of sex cos its only a matter of time someone else will help her fulfill her responsibility and trust me wen she finds out it would hurt. The couple in question need to sit down togerther and draft out their needs and how they intend to fulfil them, marriage is not for babies or novices it for the mature who are ever willing to learn and grow.

when we nurture sacred cows this is the corresponding result, the south throw their threats, the north engage in violence, where is our laws? where is justice? why do we go back to long past vomit?

Smart guy he sued them to buy himself time and possibly kill the case. No other court will hear same case unless there is a conclusion of this 1.

GEJ better tread with caution he might just be digging a shallow grave. Jega couldn't get his act in 4 years how will mimiko get his in 28 days? We already have enough trouble already as a country, its best we stick to jega by the way it would be a stupid thing to change inec chairman that will be bad for our already dead international image considering the fact that the international community have been working with jega. Then isn't the inec chairman subject to approval by parliament?

I kind of wonder why white folks don't have spiritual husbands and so on? We need to separate tradition of idol worship and Christianity, first of all any pastor that gives you a message filled with fear is not preaching the gospel, there is nowhere Jesus or the apostles preached and the people became frightened in the bible, instead of telling about spiritual husband or wife why not tell of how we are the bride of Christ. If you are filled with the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues that means God dwells in your spirit and you can't serve God and be romancing with evil spirits together. Further more what you feed your mind on a full day most times determine what you dream about, if you feed yourself with sexually stuffs you are most likely to dream along dat line, tight clothing too can cause wet dreams.I advice you read more of biology on the issue

HTC one M8

Just maybe you are not showering her wit affection. Sex and affection go hand in hand, the men want sex the women affection, when you please your wife she will most likely return the favour, who knows she may merely be trying to get your attention. Just go and love your wife unconditionaly

if you do not have enough sense to know what you want in a woman then you are not ready for leadership in a home.
