Politics › Re: My First Executive Order Will Be To Reform The Civil Service -Accord Candidate by gabicon: 8:34pm On Dec 23, 2022

StoriesUpdate:
My first executive order will be to reform the civil service -- Accord presidential candidate, Prof Imumolen

Accord party's presidential candidate Professor Christopher Imumolen says he will make wholesale reforms in the country's civil service his topmost priority should he get the opportunity to become Nigeria's president in next year's general elections.

Nigeria's civil service has for decades now failed to live up to it's assigned constitutional role as the engine that runs government as it wallows in indolence and corruption.
Typified by excruciating bureaucracy that unnecessarily slows down the business of government at all levels, the country's civil service hasn't exactly earned plaudits over the years.

That is why it will be to the benefit of the people, he says, if the civil service is reformed and sanitised to make it more attuned to the demands of an incoming reformist government like the one he is intending if he gets elected president.
According to Professor Imumolen the success or failure of any government depends on the civil service.

"Any government that wishes to fully deliver on it's pre-election promises must not overlook the role the service could play in ensuring that because they are the oil that lubricates the engines of government," he says.

"The civil service as presently constituted can not fully fulfill it's constitutional role of making government work effectively because of age-long habits that needs to be curbed.
"A civil service populated by workers who got there on a man-know-man basis. A civil service where indolence and official corruption is the order of the day cannot make any government succeed.

"That is why, if I get the people's mandate to become president, I'll do all in my power to ensure that that status quo doesn't remain.
"We are going to review the process of recruitment into the service.
"We are going end the era of file-carrying and institute a proper system to ensure transparency and accountability in the running of government business.

"We are going to fully digitalise the whole civil service structure to make it more effective and result-oriented.
"Staff would be made to undergo computer training and retraining to bring them to the level we want them to be in the new regime of prompt and efficient service delivery.

"In my time as president, it will no longer be business as usual as only those who are patriotic and progressive-minded, and who have the overall interest of the country at heart will be allowed the opportunity to work in the civil service," he said.

Reformation is ideological. Executive order can't solve an ideological problem.

Family › Re: Marrying A Masturbator! by gabicon: 11:57am On Dec 14, 2022

fakum:
Sorry my people this might be a bit long.

Yeah, be careful, just like every other addiction. Anything your partner do while dating will most likely continue in marriage, be warned.
I had sex an explosive sex life with my wife when we were dating and few years after marriage. We makeout everywhere with any little opportunity. Now we are almost 5 years in marriage and things have changed, though it has been coming gradually.

The last time we had sex was like 3 weeks ago, make I suck, NO, make I use hand, NO, and na she give me signal to come do ooo, I vex run my thing, cum and told her sex with her is now more of work. she got angry, I no send. Later in the morning, she brought the matter and I told her yes, she is making sex look like work, that she probably don’t enjoy sex with me anymore. She started saying its pressure, stress,….but I know it’s all lie, I had my suspicion (she doesn’t cook nor wash, virtually does nothing at home now aside her work which closes early and baby who we all look after).
3 days ago, I had a dream abut her, I prayed about it, she asked me about it and I refused t tell. Guys, throughout yesterday, conji wan kill me ooo, I just busy myself with phone. Later in the night, I came in and saw her sleeping, I surf net small , come sleep. I had another dream about her, woke up and time check, past 1 am. I saw her pressing her phone, probably doing her facebook as usual, that her fav app. Na so my suspicion start to play ooo, she started masturbating right there again, I vex but keep calm (this is not the first time ooo, normal level).

Now, this is why I’m angry, I LUV ORAL too much, its my favourite part of love making, for sometimes now, anytime I start my movement going downward on her, she will stop me, make I use hand na, NO, but see Aunty put her hand for THERE now. I’m not surprise, why? Because she confessed to me when dating that she is addicted to masturbation but working on it, that she will stop. Out of love I didn’t judge her, no one is a saint, I also saw it as maybe we can work things from there, bringing it in to our love making to spice things up in our sex life but now, I see my wife prefer masturbation to my oral and sex in its entirety. Guys forget, I’m not hyping myself but I dey try for oral. I can be there, 30min, 1 hr doing my thing (magic), and the result Is always awesome, as I gain more satisfaction in seeing my partner having orgasm than anything else.

Prior to now, because of excuses and stuffs, I have stopped asking for sex but anytime she gives signal, I go deliver. Now, I have made up my mind kind of, make she continue her masturbation, anytime conji hook me, I will find someone to give me mouth action till I’m relieved and movee. Worst case, 3k or 5k. You cant be starving me giving excuses while doing your thing. After all, this is one of the sins of marriage we were told during our class and she know.
I’m not a fan of f*cking outside, I neva enter another woman since we got married though I had enough changes and the pressure and I still don’t want to, not because of her though because she probably doesn’t deserve it but I’m going to get my BJ and have myself relieved issa decision I don’t think I will stop unless God says otherwise.

I will continue to be the loving husband she know, I wont change, I will even get better just as she continue to be the loving wife that she is, but we all have urge to be quenched.
So guys, don’t overlook anything you cant overlook in marriage, e get why! Once most people get what they want, they tend to change or show their real self and marriage isn’t an exception. Some just want the name “married” and have kids (like my wife, after all, she don marry, don get pikin) and once they achieve this, anything can follow though it ought not to be so. Its all my fault sha, I overlook everything ( probably because I know non is perfect and I saw some good traits in her) I wanted companionship as my main reason for marriage but hers were different(though see like attention die), I should have known better. Please marry who have same marriage goals as you.

Finally, this is not to discourage anyone from marriage , marriage is a beautiful thing and I’m happy I’m married and I love my baby (make una no think am oooo). Just pray and marry a good wife like me (even better).

#Peace!

You guys are dealing with an addiction here, the sooner you deal with it the better for your relationship. You might be tempted to overlook it or think it doesn't matter, but you need to understand that masturbation in marriage is like a car with a flat tyre, the more you run on flat, the worse the tyre gets and if not given the required attention it will destroy the rim and cause a total halt of the car. It's only a matter of time before you both start to resent each other, remember one of the reasons for marriage is to help service the needs of one's partner. You guys should sit down and talk about it and get professional help if QUICKLY.

Family › Re: My Wife Hates My Step-Daughter. Please Help by gabicon: 3:28pm On Nov 30, 2022

Gudfadah:
Good evening nairaland.

I am a married man and I have six children. When I met with my first wife she was a single mother of 1 girl she was a years 6 months we got married when she was 5 years old.
We had 3 children together making them 4 unfortunately we lost her in 2016 during the birth of our twins.

Before she passed on she asks me to promise her that if anything happened to her I should never send her daughter back to her family to experience the same thing she went through in there hands.
I have promised her that the child is mine and she will never go anywhere the day she will leave my house will be on her wedding day.
I have also promised her that nothing will happen to her and we will grow old together. Unfortunately we lost her and I have continued being a father to all four children and I have never treated my step daughter differently.

I have since remarried and we are blessed with twins. When I met with my current wife I didn't tell her that my step daughter is not my biological child she knew she was my first child.
She has been a part of me ever since she was 1 plus and I didn't think it was necessary telling my wife she was not my child.

She was treating all four children good until my wicked aunty has spill the beans which I have apologised for not telling her in the first and I have asked her to continue being a good mother she was before knowing the truth.
But she refused saying I didn't tell the truth and the child should go and leave with her mom family. I have explained to her the reason why she cannot stay with them to no avail and I ask her not to tell the child the truth but she has told her.

It wasn't easy for her knowing the truth she asks me if I will take her back to her mom people I said no. She is still my child and she will not go anywhere and I will resolve the problem very soon.

Unfortunately my wife has totally changed so much toward the child and I hate coming home seeing her crying all the time. She feel insecure in the house knowing that she is not the biological child of the house.

Talking to my wife was to no avail she has insist that the child must go back to her mother family or they will be not peace.

I reported the problem to her people nothing was done and we are still dealing with the same thing everyday.

Honestly speaking I hate being in such a messy situation but I will not send her back to her mom family she is my first child and I have made a promise to my late wife that the day the child will leave my house it will be the day she will get married.
Since my wife want her to leave and the child is already depresses.
I have come to conclusion I will not divorce her but I will rent a 2 bedroom apartment for her to be staying with the twins while I continue staying with the four children in my house I owe the house.

I haven't told her anything about my decision yet and I want to know if getting her own house will help the situation. This is where I need your advice nairalanders what do I do in this situation?

I think you, goofed not telling your present wife the status of your adopted daughter. A status that is already an open secret in the family, it was only a matter of time before she found out. Before a marriage is consummated, it is required that all information about the partners involved is brought to the table. There is a possibility she wouldn't have agreed to your proposal if she knew that your first daughter isn't your biological child. You took her power of choice away and the result is the problem you are presently experiencing.

It is clear that there is an underlining problem with your wife, you have to find out what that problem is. But first off, start by apologizing for withholding information from her, then ask what exactly the problem is. Is she threatened by your daughter? Are there too many mouths to feed? Is it a case of sharing inheritance when you die? Is it a nonhospitable to strangers syndrome? .......etc. you need to find out. if you are not getting to her, get professional help from a therapist or counselor. Your daughter also needs to see someone, it's a whole lot to find out that the one you called father is not a biological father. Depending on what information your wife divulges, you will have to negotiate for peace to reign, and part of that negotiation will involve apologizing to your daughter.

Don't make rash decisions until you have exhausted all options for settling the problem amicably, separating your family will likely make things worse at the moment, that is not to rule out controlled separation, a therapist might advise on it depending on how things go. I will overall suggest you go see a counselor ASAP because it seems your wife is out for blood.

You can reach out to ''Institute Of Family Engineering And Development'' '0803 726 9483' and see if you can schedule an appointment.

God bless you and may your family come out stronger from this situation.

As much as I'm not in support of truce breaking, out lecturers need to behave smarter than the government. There are better ways of pressing ones demand than an industrial action.

You didn't work for eight months why should you be paid? A better way of going about it will have been to teach the students, examine them but don't release their results. This alone will cause a graduation crisis, NYSC crisis, labor market crisis. The students and their guardians will be the once pressing governments neck. As a lecturer you can't be accused of not working.

The health system is no different from the education system. You can't subsidize the rates of training in these sectors and not expect it to affect manpower renumeration. What do we expect when someone is trained for close to free?

We need to start with a better package pay for our health workers and Lecturers. After which we increase the cost of their training. Then we can have different bodies like NMA, hospital board, government, private sector etc give student loans. With conditions of practicing a minimum of 7 years in Nigeria after specialization or however long it will take to payback the loan.

unstoppable51:
Source: https://stm.com.ng/tithe-and-giving-in-the-new-testament/

First of all, tithing is not by force, it is by choice. There is a blessing tied to every for of giving, the blessing of giving is not exclusively for tithing.

In the new testament, as long as you confess the lordship of Jesus, every thing a Christian has now belongs to Christ, that is what the scriptures means when it says we belong to Christ we are no longer our own. Now the advice on how to give is expressivly revealed in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, we are to give as our heart prompts us and not under compulsion. We should also remember that giving is like planting a crop, the more land we cultivate the more the returns. so the more we give, the more the opportunity to receive.

Another problem we have is that we see the church as a one dimension institution, when in reality it is two dimensions. The church is first a spiritual house, then is is an organisation. Every organisation need employees to run it's affairs, they need a steady cashflow, they require funds to plan activities, projects and programs. If we left everyone to decide how they gave in church the church as an organisation will suffer. So we church leaders deemed it fit to borrow a template from the old testament that worked called tithing. If every Christian gave a certain percentage of their income regularly it will be easy to plan how funds are utilised. Make no mistake about it, pushing the gospel of Christ is expensive.

Personally speaking, I think 10% is small.

teamc:
Got married 2yrs ago and we have a beautiful daughter, she has this dream of studying in Canada and I support her dream.

Our immigration consultant recommend she apply alone to increase chances that i and our daughter can join her later.

Now visa is out and she will be travelling next month. I have read numerous stories about how women change when they travel out.

Should I be worried?

Only you can answer that question, some people assume that people change as a result of opportunities and resources. I say people are who they are, resources and opportunities only reveal that identity. So the question is who are you married to? A kind compassionate fellow or arrogant and pompous or weak and impressionable?

Secondly, a relocation takes a toll on relationships, irrespective of how strong they are. A lot of proper planning is required to sustain such a relationship. something like communication while apart needs to be planned, it's not the 'I missed you I called plan' ooo. We talk 15min every day on weekends we video call and talk for at least 2 hrs sort of plan. Finance has to also be planned, managing your intimate needs has to be discussed, parenting your child has to be planned etc.

I really don't like single relocation, it takes a toll on relationships, secondly, there are no guarantees of bringing the family on the other side to be with you.

Make sure you don't resort to fear because fear makes you make bad decisions.

The governors are the ones that fund the presidential candidates usually, naturally, there are going to be some funding issues. Of the 6 wealthiest states in Nigeria, Atiku only has the support of Delta state, Rivers and Oyo are against him, and Lagos, Imo, and Kano are APC states. Even in the Delta state, the governor won't empty the vault unless he is certain his election is sure.

Nlfpmod

The G5 understand that if Atiku wins, they are in deep shit, so they have to ensure he doesn't win.

The problem here is simple, Wike is the playground bully, when the playground was in disarray, he restored order to the playground. Now Atiku used his money to buy people on the playground, thereby bullying the bully. Wike is not having it and is fighting back to stake his claim on the playground, the only way he can do this is to ensure that Atiku doesn't win.

Atiku is not as politically savvy as I thought, I expected that he will reach out to Wike's godfather in the person of Peter Odilli, and broker a deal that will include the appointment of Wike's wife to the supreme court. But is too late now.

The same hypocrites talking trash about debates tune in closely to their TVs for American presidential debates.

Who takes Tinubu supporters seriously except them them

What is the purpose of a presidential debate?

A presidential debate targeted at winning over undecided voters. In Nigeria we have turned it into a ploy to embarrass a candidate, and we sincerely hope that our candidates opponents messes up. We did it for Jonathan in 2011, we did it for Buhari in 2015 and now it's Tinubu and Atiku, to what end?

The results of the presidential elections debate you watch on TV is a product of extensive preparation by both political parties, it's not wake up and show up in the studio. I make bold to claim that the candidates already know the questions they will be asked already

Secondly, who should organise a presidential debate?

The US presidential debat used to be controlled by civil society organisations butas a result of differences it didn't work out.

As of today presidential debates are controlled by a commission of presidential debate whose members are the two most dominant political parties in America.

CNN or fox news doesn't conduct presidential debate. The reason being that they are favourably disposed to a candidate or party. It's not an open secret that Arise TV and it's anchor Ruben Abati is favourably disposed to a candidate.

If I were a candidate I will boycott, because the whole show is just like that university lecturer that has vowed you won't pass his module, even if I get an A he will down grade it to D.

https://guardian.ng/news/2023-rift-widens-in-swest-over-afeniferes-endorsement-style/

Afenifere is just a social-cultural group with little or no influence in the south west. They used to be a potent group that crowned all the southwest governors in 1999 but two things happened.

Firstly, Tinubu rebelled against them, and they almost had him impeached but pa Abraham Adesanya pleaded on his behalf after which Tinubu obliterated them from Lagos politics.

The second thing that happened is that they were convinced by Obasanjo to support his second term bid even though Tinubu advised that they have their own candidate after getting info from Atiku, and contest against Obasanjo, they all supported Obasanjo and they faced another wave of Obliteration in the remaining southwest states.

Tinubu now set out to obtain the power that Afenifere has by securing all the southwest states. Pa Adabanjo never forgave Tinubu for how toothless he made Afenifere, it is even rumored that Pa Abraham Adesanya died of the heartache of the situation.

Who did Nigeria and Nigerians offend to deserve this kind of useless APC leaders

Let's be technical about this problem, it's an inherited problem and if we have to blame anyone for this problem, we should blame president Obasanjo who thought it wise to centralise electricity despite the fact that it hasn't worked for us for decades.

The national assembly has graciously passed a bill to decentralise the electricity sector, they forwarded this bill to the state houses of assembly only eleven states have passed it, the remaining 25 are insisting on state police before they pass it. We should be going after these states of assembly who are refusing to pass this bill. Security is important, but it is presently not a low hanging fruit, let's get nourishment from the low hanging fruit first.

If we combine all the brain power of all our presidential candidates together and the laws that control our electricity sector doesn't change, we will still experience these problems. The problem is a legislative problem not an executive one. How can one generate electricity in Delta and send the same electricity to Kano via Osogbo? There is just too many points of failure.

Nigeria in collaboration with AU and UN should seriously sanction cameroun for opening their dams without prior notice to Nigeria. This flooding that Nigeria has been subjected to has caused untold hardship, destruction, displacement and loss of livelihood to many Nigerians.

I gathered that there was an agreement between Nigeria and Cameroun to both build dams in 1980. Cameroun built theirs but Nigeria had a coup that brought Buhari to power, and that dam became history. Cameroun had no choice, its either they opened the dam or the dam got totally destroyed, they choose their Interest.

Dangote can't win this battle no matter what, Obajana Cement wa sold to Dangote, 90% and the remainder 10% for Kogi state but Dangote fraudulently in connection with past Governor(s) claimed 100%....

What Bello is asking is the 10% stake that belongs to Kogi aside poor CSR and the mining of coal from Kogi state for his other factories all over Nigeria.

Kogi state is largely responsible for Dangote's wealth but just normal statutory CSR and Kogi State's stake e no wan pay, what a greedy monopolistic capitalist.

The Kogi State governor has failed to show proof that it owns 10% stake in Dangote cement. Obajana cement sold to Dangote was only in paper. Some questions on the true existence of obajana cement needs to be answered:
Where is the plant location of Obajana cement?
Who are it's former staff?
The ten years prior to Dangote coming on the picture what products were produced?

The company had no product, no equipment, no operations no factory. Why would a person who develops all these give Kogi State 10%?

If the problem in question is a CSR problem, let it be handled as such but let's not spin it to an ownership tussle.

It's barely 8 months to the end of the tenure of the sitting government, much can only be imagined about their motives.

The company was ceded to Dangote in the first place because the government couldn't run the business. All this drama is unnecessary, if the contract is faulty simply renegotiate. If the asset is transferred back to Kogi state it will become moribund in 2 years.

porka:
Even your own submission is more muddled than hers.

In your first paragraph, you claimed that a "huge number electorates are fixated on a candidate not a party" and ended up saying that there's "no data" to buttress her assumptions.

How did you get your own data to come up with the "huge number" in reference?

Then you went on to submit that some zones in the south are controlled by a party, and concluded that it would be difficult for another party to wrestle control.

How do you people reconcile these seemingly distorted views in public space?

The Christian association of Nigeria is an organisation that speaks for Christians, they can be considered a huge number. I got my data from them.

SUMMARY

Southeast
Peter Obi will sweep the southeast not because he is from there, because he is the most competent. Going by voting patterns since 1999 southeast never supporters their own candidate infact we always make fun of them on how ibos never support their own but this is the first time since 1999 the ibos have come out enmasse to support their own.

Aisha feels it has to do with the PDP betrayal. She said since 1999 the southeast is the only region that has given pdo everything 100% , no other region ever stood with the PDP 100% the easy the south east did and how did the PDP repay them when it was their turn? They treated them like they don't matter.

Southsouth

Peter Obi will sweep the southsouth like the southeast, they vote exactly like the southeast and follow the same patterns. Even though the PDP VP candidate Okowa is from the tegionhr is light weight .

North Central

Peter Obi will sweep the north central totally based on Christians who feel marginalized in the north central. The people are angry and feel that both the PDP and APC betrayed the south because the presidency was supposed to have been zoned to the south so a Christian can take over so people feel betrayed.

Aisha feels the Muslim ticket will work heavily against the APC and the more they try to use media to downplay it and make it sound irrelevant the more they alienate the Christian citizens because it downplays their emotional feelings of injustice. Peter Obi will benefit greatly from this error of a Muslim Muslim ticket by APC.

She said it is as if the path was miraculously being cleared for Peter Obi by his own rivals. She said if the PDP has feilded wike and it's candidate Peter Obi won't have won the southeast and southsouth.

Southwest

Aisha feels Tinubu's influence in the southwest is overrated and Peter Obi will split the vote or even pull and upset and out reach Tinubu in the southwest.

Northeast

Peter Obi won't do well there. Atiku would dominate here with the vote split with Shettima not because of Tinubu.

Northwest

Obi won't win here either but he will do far bette there than in the Northeast.

This analysis is very presumptuous. First of all, this is d first time in our history when a huge number of our electorates are fixated on a candidate not a party, hence there is no data to support this claim. I'm more afraid about these election postulations because they have the potency of unrest should they not match the actual election results.

More importantly, based on data, the SS and SE predominantly are PDP strong holds, they control the structure and resources in such areas, it's not going to be a walk in the park wrestling the PDP hold in these states. If you postulate that Labor party will split the votes, that is comprehendible but an outright win will require a lot of hardwork.

Based on previous elections, the turnout in the South East is very poor, a cumulation of 3 states in the South East can't match the voting power of rivers not to talk of Lagos and Kano.

This election will be decided in the north, the north has experienced a reduced occurrence of unrest especially in the NE, it might translate into an improved election turnout. By the way this election is going to be the most financially induce one in our history.

The race is still too close to call.

It's not directly the governments fault but it indirectly is. If we had great power infrastructure alone it has the potential of dropping inflation by more than half.

Travel › Re: Why Do Nigerians Abroad Stay Several Years Without Visiting Home For Once by gabicon: 1:26pm On Sep 14, 2022

SergeantTitus:
Why do nigerians living abroad fail to come back to Nigeria even for Important things like their parents death, burial, brother's wedding etc? I also find it weird some remain there for 15, 20, 30 years without ever visiting home even if na just once.

The problem with many of us is that we swallow the rhetoric propagated by the first world media that their country is void of problems.

There is one constant in the world, irrespective of the country. We have the wealthy, the rich, the upper middle class, lower middle class, and the poor. Very few immigrants break it to the upper middle class, fewer to the wealthy and rich.

So back to your question people can't afford to visit their home countries because they have financial responsibilities that out weight the need to come home. Moreover, them coming home isn't beneficial to them because those at home just milk them dry.

Please can someone help me on how I can go about traveling with my soon to be wedded wife Abroad. One of us will be schooling & working. The other will be working. Presently working on the funds.

How can it be possible & what country will be easier to on my intentions. Please I need your help because dis country done tire me

I applaud you on having a plan to better your life, however you need to understand that relocating for a single person is difficult not to talk of a newly wedded couple. "Country don tire me" is not a plan. If you intend to relocate, you will need to do a lot or research, some countries are suited for singles relocating while others accommodate couples and families.

If you have any doubts about your fiancée, leaving abroad will multiply that doubt. The laws of third world countries makes you the man of the house, the laws of first world countries makes her the woman of the house.

The punchline here is have a concrete plan with contingencies.

Career › Re: What Do You Advise Me To Do? by gabicon: 11:07pm On Aug 31, 2022

DaddyGideon:
Good day Nairalanders
I've been a regular member in here but I'd decided to open a fresh account for the sake of privacy, and please pardon my typographical errors or probably correct them for me cause I like learning.

So here's the thing, I've been working for someone as a labourer for the past five years in a small private company. A very stressful work and very time consuming that I see no future in it and its affecting my health at the same time causeI always look stressed up, however I've been able to save a little over 3 million within this period of time. But your man is getting old, am 27 and by now I'm supposed to have a sable business of my own I should be doing.

Now am planning to leave the work cause to me it seems like I've wasted all this years cause I don't have any single skill to start with, I have no knowledge of any business to venture into and if I decide to go and start learning handwork it will take me more time, hence my confusion.. So many thought have been going through my mind. if I should relocate, buy a small car and start uber business or if I should look for a way and leave the country, or if I should just venture into business.

Please guys what do you advise me to do

The truth is no one can or should tell you what to do with your life, never give anyone that much power over you.

If you decide you want to start a business, a business starts from identifying a need or having a skill that can be used to provide a service or having a gift/passion. So you have something, you just need to sit down in a weekend in deep thinking and outline what you have or what you are willing to learn. While you are doing that you can consider putting your savings in piggyvest and get 11% profit that way your money is only shy of 7% of inflation.

There really is no age a person should have a stable business, intact statistics shows that most start at 40, I'm not saying it's wrong to aspire, I'm just saying don't put too much pressure on yourself. Set goals and work to achieve them.

Lastly, search deep within the last 5 year, there might be gold in what your labor work.
