In Nigeria, where corruption is the order of the day? If the judiciary isn't fixed, such a business will lead to the exploitation of prisoners and in extreme cases, many people who have no business going to jail will be sent to jail for them to make profit.

This comparison is foolishness. He earns in pounds and relative to the minimum wage, that is at most a day's earning. Why is he sensitizing us?

Afrobasic:
Why not? When you devalue the currency more companies become trillion naira companies.

This is all semantics by the way. Just like saying Zimbabwean companies are septilion Zimbabwean dollar companies.

You can only fool the foolish.

What's your favorite drink? A very chilled bottle on me.

How they plan to improve the life of the citizens is what they should focus and educate us on.

Why aren't we fixing the power sector first knowing almost everything rides on stable electricity?

BABA OOO, GOOD MORNING SIR

I HAVE NOT BEEN ON WHATSAPP FOR LIKE 6 DAYS, I ENTERED ONE CHANCE AND ALL I HAVE WITH ME WAS TAKEN.

CHATTING FROM MY COY LAPTOP

Ah! It is well. You don't retrieve your line now?

You can go fast without friends, but you can't go far without them. Learn to make friends with the right people that will influence your life positively.

I’m at a crossroads and I think at this point I wonder what is the point of marriage if this is how it works..
I was busy working to provide for my family ,only to get a long message from my woman stating she left with my child and not only that ,she left with few of my expensive household items , like tv ,speakers , fans and co ..
She held down to her words that for the two years she came into my life ,she was not happy emotionally,that during pregnancy I didn’t spend enough with her ,that I’m always in the sitting room and leaving her all to herself..

Sometimes I wonder what women really wants ..during her pregnancy ,she never worked nor stressed ,she was well taken care of ,ate to her fill ,never worked ,just sleep and take care of my unborn child’s ..My factor of not spending much time on her was due to the fact I was trying to understand the situation at hand and transitioning from living alone, handling things to my capacity to having a wife and incoming child to feed was a lots of task to be prepared for , so I needed a space from her sometimes not to think of the hasty decision I just put myself into ..

A year later and the child is one year plus ,responsibilities mounting and bills ,coupled with the facts I just got a quit notice to leave the apartment have stayed over 6 years at, I requested she let the child live my parents why we go out there to work and provide,also raise money for another place and Lagos rental price is off the roof ..But she was adamant and felt like I was trying to take the child from her and so I insisted she take the child to her parents and give me sometime to raise money for a new place .. she flared up and got angry and said she wouldn’t do that I should immediately rent a place and shop for her ,not minding the stress I’m going through ..

We have had verbal abuses between each other and few confrontations but never led to physical abuse .She said I was being influenced by my family to push her away , that they don’t like her and which is not true ..
I insisted she needs to learn a proper skill or go back to school or get a good job for the time being , but all she cares is me opening a business for her..I found myself looking at someone who depends solely on what a man provides for her and not trying to do something herself for the time being .. The pressure is much and I still have a child to take care of too ..She took my properties and ran away with my child and I was heart broken by such move ..

Now it’s open to both families the decision she took and my parents are angry saying I won’t settle for such a woman and her parents aren’t helping much except her father who calls her out for her wrongful actions ..

At this point I’m thinking of letting go of what we had together and just take care of my child and her wellbeing ,first by renting a place for her and taking care of her needs ..

We have both had a long conversation thinking what went wrong ,she said my lack of emotional presence and not spending enough time with her made her felt like she was single and I was telling her words and those words hurt her and that I’m being influenced by my family which is not true ..

I want to get back my properties and call off my ties with her cause we really started on a wrong note , we didn’t plan well and didn’t see things properly and what we have to offer ourselves individually as a couple rather than a one man game stressing himself out there, trying to do everything himself..Have made wrong choices and this not how I intended my family life to be like and I will make good corrections henceforth..

When you say you didn't plan well, what does that mean? What you need is to find ways to understand one another so as to ensure you both can make the best of your union. You need make her understand the need to speak up before things get escalated to this point. She knows herself better and how she wants to be loved. You need also stress you will try; however, you may not be able to love her 100% as she wants to be loved. Also voice out how you will want to be loved.

During this separation time, you both need discuss your finances and financial expectations along other expectations you both want to have in your marriage.

No one is. Although some exaggerate the justification for their stance nonetheless, it gives you an opportunity to think through your options critically before making your decision. Once you do this, make your choice. Remember, different people have different experiences.

Sirchiboy:
I really would not love to see my parents anymore because they betrayed me.... They desyroyed my life... I hold no apologies..

Uncle, you need grow up. Putting the blames on your parents forever when you have not even made a better choice with your lifestyle changes nothing.

helinues:
There is nothing like multi dimensional poverty. The reason why it's hard for some people to escape poverty is because when they themselves are yet to be established but still want to be living around poor people like them. The self entitlement mentality from others won't allow you to succeed

A rich man in the midst of 20 poor men is also a poor man

This is the most insensitive comment ever. The society also plays a vital role and if the government doesn't get it right, it limits opportunities for the populace.

The mother of the baby is as guilty and greedy as her brother. She had thought N500k was such a big mobey and just realized it isn't. Trying to claim she was charmed is the funniest thing I have read this week.

Hopefully, the buyer didn't send the money through PoS.

fergie001:
Zacharia Feya Achinyan will retire on Tuesday 10th March ..... 😂

Kudos to them, long overdue though!

Hopefully, the promotion reflects in his pension and gratuity.

Hopefully this isn't an ideology to milk people of their hard-earned funds.

ATTAHDYE:
They will not consider your PGD for anything.

If you have a 2.1 in your first degree, you can apply for a Master program directly.

But if it is a 2.2, it has to be a Pgd in Canada.

Did UOttawa stop admitting 2:2?

If something this simple is causing issues, you both should take a break from each other.

Both of them need to tell us what they agreed on while dating? She was excessive denying him sex. This is something they can discuss together and shouldn't create troubles. Na individual be salvation ooo.

The governor fails to provide security, and he is blaming people for not securing themselves. He is not serious and is only seeking attention.

Mine was when I slept over at a friend's house because I had an important exam, I did not want to be late for. I heard him telling his girlfriend that I ate two out of the noodles she suggested he got. I hopped on the next train as early as 3:30a.m.

I am glad that happened because my revision that morning paid off and today, I can add the degree to one of my degrees.

Please, how can I get my voter's card? I registered about 15years ago. Do I just go to the INEC office in my LGA?

We can do better with our road construction works.

Don't rush to commentum firstus.
Read and understandum before commentum.

He will restitute part of tha money to FIRS in Nigeria.

Where did you read the bolded? To think you were accusing someone of not reading to understand is worrisome.

Lithiumite:
Very low interests rate will flood the economy with too much liquidity without commensurate production capacity to meet such demand there by resorting to importation and then increased dollar demand which will then further depreciate your currency and the excess liquidity leading to inflation which you are fighting so hard to contain.

The challenge is had we ever thought of becoming a producing nation? The economy is still liquid and now the banks have more capacity to support the real sector however, policy misalignment has always been a major challenge. Interest rate needs be dropped to encourage people invest in the real sector. The CBN should leave the exchange rate to the market to determine its price. They cannot control interest rate, inflation, and exchange rate at a time. They should focus on interest rates and inflation.

Unfortunately, divorce is too easy because they only need to make the pronouncement three times and the marriage is dissolved.

How did he know it is internal crisis?

What is the fate of such drivers when this happens? Are they usually charged to court? Are their principals charged as well if they observe the driver's demeanor at the time of driving is inappropriate? Are there laws in place for situations like this?

This is commendable however, do they have enough buses on ground?

e pain you because your useless pastor and your god no work

If to say the lady kpai you’ll be all over the place bragging and making noise how your god is powerful, then you’ll never remember about what concerned people .

You people are hypocrites.

You are the greatest of hypocrites jumping into conclusions about me without knowing me. Go read my comment again with the mindset of understanding instead of trying to pull everyone into your confused state.

Wetin be all these one again? Abeg, people are more concerned about other stuff than their charade.

Prodigymobbdeep:
I'm also planning to travel abroad with my woman, to be honest she's has always been on her best behavior but the thought of all I have read online is making me rethink.

What we usually read online are the bad ones but there are many good ones out there no one talks about. Most of those who discourage it day so of of a few stories they have heard and have never traveled abroad. Although, a friend in the UK said it is a bit common with our women there compared to the US and Canada. Nonetheless, in my simple sample of friends and relatives who'd moved to the UK, I don't know any but remember, my sample for the UK is small.

You have said she been of good behavior, trust your intuition and remember, if she decides to change, it isn't the end of life. People tend to pick up new habits every five years which implies anyone can change.

Helpout12345:
Have you brought a wife to abroad before? Do you have personal experience in this?

Have you had deep and SINCERE discussions with men that took their Nigerian wives abroad?? What percentage of them not regretting it?? What percentage of them will do it again based on how the women treat them

I have lived abroad for over a decade and half and I brought my wife abroad and we have lived in two of the 5 eyes countries. My sisters have brought their husbands abroad and same as friends (male and females) alike. I think so far of all I can think of that are my friends, only one has gone through divorce. The other married a Nigerian here and they still had to go their separate ways.
That said, I have heard of stories that are not pleasant and two that I know (not friends in the real sense), one was desperate because some of his friends saw the red flag, but he wouldn't listen. The other wanted to control his wife's finances because he sponsored her through her nursing program which I do not support. He could have improved on himself as well or improve on himself now that the wife is more stable instead of trying to exert control over someone else's income.

yemmit90:
I see local government administration a waste of public fund in Abuja. It is a seat of power with a minister in charge, why can't every community there be under the administration of FCT minister. Minister can just appoint counselor in each area and pay them salary.

We spend too much on governance, democracy is not really good for underdeveloped countries struggled with limited resources.

Have you witnessed how underdeveloped many communities in Abuja are? A counselor isn't sufficient; however, the challenge is most people pursue office for personal gains and not to serve.
