Marriage is a lot of hard work ,I'll be honest
If you don't do the work,you won't reap the fruits

If your marriage survives the first 10-15 years you either grow closer or grow apart

We had our real rough times especially in the early days when money was tight and kids were small and we were trying to break into the system
It was very stressful
I can say we are in a good place now
Not perfect but I can confidently say I have a good marriage.
And it didn't just happen
We worked hard to get there

You're right, good marriage is not a gift from God. Both parties must work hard at it under God.

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has
welcomed the endorsement of former Nigerian President
Olusegun Obasanjo, saying it will convince more
Nigerians to vote for him and his party.
Buhari said this on Wednesday night during an interview
with CNN’s Chief International Correspondent, Christine
Amanpour.
Obasanjo had on Tuesday in Nairobi, Kenya during an
interview with the Financial Times of London at the
launch of his controversial autobiography entitled, ‘My
Watch,’ expressed support for Buhari.
When asked by Amanpour what he thought of Obasano’s
endorsement, Buhari said, “It would certainly bring more
supporters to us and more confidence again to us for
those who are sitting on the fence.”
This, he said, was “because General Obasanjo is highly
respected and as far as the Nigerian nation is
concerned, there is no serious issue that can be
discussed without people seeking his opinion and
listening to it.”
In the course of the interview, Buhari disagreed with
President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples
Democratic Party on the reasons behind the
postponement of the general elections.
Although the ruling party insisted that the Independent
National Electoral Commission was not prepared for the
elections, Buhari maintained that INEC was forced by the
military to delay the elections even after insisting it was
prepared.
Despite his disappointment, he explained that since the
action was constitutional, the APC had asked its
supporters to obey the law and remain calm but
resolute.
Asked about the Boko Haram insurgency, Buhari restated
his belief that the military had been unable to overcome
the insurgents because resources meant for the military
had been misappropriated.
He cited scuttled plans by the National Assembly to
probe the funding of the army over the last three years
and interviews granted to the foreign media by soldiers,
who he said, claimed that they had to fight without
proper weapons, to back his view.
He said, “The National Assembly attempted to conduct a
hearing by getting the budget approved by the National
Assembly over the last three years and inviting the
service chiefs to come and tell them why the weapons
were not procured and sent to the soldiers under
competent leadership and that hearing was scuttled.
“So, it showed the misapplication or misappropriation of
the resources provided by government and says why the
Nigerian military was unable to defeat Boko Haram.”
Regardless, Buhari said the military was competent to
tackle the insurgency.
If elected as president, he said achieving that goal would
not be “too difficult.”
“I believe this problem will not be too difficult for the
APC government because we know the Nigerian military
is competent. It is a question of making sure that the
money voted for equipment and training is properly
utilised,” he said.
The APC’s presidential candidate also said corruption
had to be tackled “because there are serious citizens of
this country that (have) said unless Nigeria kills
corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.”
In endorsing Buhari, Obasanjo had said, “The
circumstances he (Buhari) will be working under if he
wins the elections are different from the one he worked
under before, where he was both the executive and the
legislature – he knows that. He is smart enough. He is
educated enough. He’s experienced enough. Why
shouldn’t I support him?”
And Buhari expressed a similar view when asked if he
had changed.
The former military dictator, who admitted that some of
the things his regime was accused of had a degree of
accuracy, insisted that things would be different.
“I think I would be judged harshly as an individual that
what happened during military administration can be
extended under multi-party democratic system,” he said.

Justice Ibrahim Buba of a Federal High Court sitting in
Lagos on Monday refused to assume jurisdiction over a
suit seeking to stop the House of Representatives from
holding a plenary towards the execution of impeachment
moves against President Goodluck Jonathan.
The suit also sought an order restraining Aminu
Tambuwal from carrying on as the Speaker of the House
of Representatives.
But Buba refused to entertain the suit on the grounds
that it fell short of the provisions of Order 2 Rule 2 of the
Federal High Court Rules on jurisdiction.
Two lawyers namely, Anthony Nwajiugo and Okechukwu
Ebirim, filed the suit marked FHC/L/CS/1863/14.
In it, they sought a declaration that the House of
Representatives, as presently constituted with Tambuwal
as the Speaker, was subversive of the 1999 Constitution,
as amended.
They sought a declaration “that the House of
Representatives as presently constituted cannot embark
on any legislative business, including the adjournment
of plenary sessions on the impeachment of the President
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, being improperly
constituted; and
“A declaration that Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of
Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal constituency of Sokoto State
cannot remain and by his action, lost the competence to
remain the Speaker of the House of Representatives of
the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
of Nigeria.”
But on Monday when the second plaintiff, Ebirim,
appeared before Buba, the judge asked why the plaintiffs
did not go to Abuja to file the suit, since the defendants
carry out their statutory duties in Abuja.
“Give me reasons why I should sit in Lagos and say the
House of Representatives should not sit in Abuja. You
have not served them in Abuja; you have served them in
Lagos. Can we constitute our own jurisdiction?
“The two plaintiffs are lawyers, why are they afraid to go
to Abuja? Does the National of Assembly carry out its
business in Lagos?
“Learned counsel should address this court on why the
court should entertain this suit in Lagos, in view of
Order 2 Rule 2 of this court.”
But Ebirim submitted that being an issue that borders on
the Constitution, and given the fact that the National
Assembly had a liaison office in Lagos, the plaintiffs had
the right to ventilate their grievances before the Federal
High Court, irrespective of division.
He said, “We submit that a matter that borders on the
constitution is national in nature and can be heard in a
Federal High Court, irrespective of division.”
But Buba dismissed the argument and held, “This case
is wrongly constituted in Lagos. The case shall be
transferred to Abuja. The plaintiffs shall approach the
Chief Judge of this court for a date for hearing.”
In an affidavit filed in support of the suit and deposed to
by the first applicant, Nwajiugo, the deponent averred
that by virtue of his citizenship and training as a lawyer,
he was aware that Section 68 (1) (g) of the Constitution
provided that a member of Senate or House of
Representatives shall vacate his seat upon defection
from the party that sponsored him or her before the
expiration of his or her tenure.
He added that the suit was filed basically to challenge
the propriety of Tambuwal presiding over the House
business, especially the plans to impeach Jonathan.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed of a Federal High Court in
Abuja has referred a suit challenging the eligibility of
President Goodluck Jonathan to seek re-election to the
Court of Appeal in Abuja for determination.
The ruling by the judge on Monday made it two cases
now pending before the Court of Appeal, challenging
Jonathan’s eligibility to seek re-election in the
forthcoming poll.
There are at least three other suits seeking the same
prayer still pending before the Federal High Court.
Justice Mohammed made the order of referral following
an application filed on November 28 by the plaintiffs in
the suit – Adejumo Ajagbe and Olatoye Wahab.
The Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed
Adoke, who is a defendant in the suit, had opposed the
application for referral while the Independent National
Electoral Commission – the second defendant – did not
oppose the application.
Hearing of the substantive suit had yet to commence
when the plaintiffs asked the court for the referral on the
grounds that the suit involved “a substantial question of
law,” on which the Court of Appeal has to make
pronouncement “as soon as possible.”
Earlier, Cyriacus Njoku had filed an appeal before the
Court of Appeal in Abuja to challenge the judgment of
Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi of the Federal Capital High
Court, declaring Jonathan eligible to stand for re-
election.
The plaintiffs in the two cases are seeking a court order
declaring Jonathan ineligible to contest the next
presidential election on the grounds that he had
exhausted the two terms allowed by the Constitution,
having earlier taken the oath of the office of the
President to complete the tenure of the late President
Umaru Yar’Adua.
Justice Mohammed on Monday dismissed Adoke’s
opposition to the referral application. He held that not
only did the plaintiffs had the legal right to file the suit,
it also amounted to an abuse of court process because
parties in the case were different from the one decided
by the FCT High Court.
The judge held that the fact that the case had yet to be
decided by the appellate court implied that the issue of
the interpretation of Sections 135 and 137 of the
Constitution had not been finally put to rest.
He ruled, “The fundamental feature of the issue is that
there is no decision yet by the appellate court as it
relates to the interpretation of sections 135 and 137 of
the Constitution in relation to the tenure of office of the
President, concerning whether or not the oath of office
taken by President Jonathan after the death of President
Umar Yar’Adua should be regarded as an election.
“It is my humble view that the constitutional issue
raised by the plaintiffs’ present suit involves substantial
question of law that requires reference to the Court of
Appeal for determination in accordance with Section
295(2) of the Constitution.
“In the final analysis, it is my humble view that the
present occupant of the office of the President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan, was sworn in as Commander-in-Chief of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria after the death of Alhaji
Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in 2010.
“The issue of whether he is deemed as having been
elected in the first instance, by the said oath of office,
imposes a substantial question of law, in the sense that
no such situation existed or occurred in the history of
this country, and therefore, there is no previous decision
on the matter by courts in this country.”

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has
warned that further postponement of the March 28
election by the Independent National Electoral
Commission will amount to “a civilian and military
coup.”
While advising INEC to take note of its constitutional
limitations, he also ruled out participation in any
election debate following the postponement of the
elections.
The former Head of State, sounded the warning in an
interview with journalists on Monday in Abuja during a
courtesy call on him by the first elected President of
Malawi and Leader of the Commonwealth Election
Observers Group, Dr. Bakili Muluzi.
He said, “We told them about the change in the dates of
elections and the constitutional limitations of INEC. That
is the last card for INEC and they cannot delay the
elections anymore. So, it is up to the government to
facilitate a free, fair and credible election.
“If they fail to do that then, they will be indulging in a
civilian and military coup because the constitution is
very clear that certain days to the swearing in, there
must be an election which will usher in a new
government. So, there are no more excuses. INEC has
given a document that they are ready for the election.
“They said they had trained their personnel, acquired
equipment and have been distributing voter cards. But
the security chiefs wrote INEC and demanded six more
weeks.
“Okay, they have been given six weeks and that is the
end of it. So we are getting ready for the election of
March 28.
“Our enormous support has grown; we have visited 34
out of the 36 states in the country. It remains two states
and Abuja and that will complete it. We are now
conducting town hall meetings with interest groups,
business people, the elite and youths. I appeal to our
supporters to remain calm.”
Asked if he would participate in further debate due to the
shift in presidential election date, Buhari said, “We are
having town-hall meetings and the party (APC) has
taken a superior position.”
Muluzi had while thanking Buhari for receiving his team,
said that he had discussions with INEC.
He said, “I am from the Commonwealth and we are about
11 members who have been drawn from Commonwealth
countries to observe the elections with some members
of staff from London.
“We arrived here on Saturday and we normally arrive in
any country in which we want to observe election five
days before, just to interact with stakeholders and the
leadership to understand the situation on the ground. It
was only on Saturday night that we were informed that
the election will now hold on March 28.
“We met with INEC this (Monday) morning and we raised
some questions and they also answered the questions.
We also thought that there should be an opportunity to
meet the leadership. INEC has postponed the elections
for six weeks.
“I just want to appeal to the Nigerian people, especially
at this time, to remain calm. This is why I do
congratulate him (Buhari) because he has asked his
supporters to remain calm until the election is held on
March 28.
“It is very important, Africa is still very important. We
still have to create employment for our people. And if we
are going to create chaos in our country, we will be
unfair to our people who are looking forward to the
leadership for employment. And therefore peace becomes
very important. I will have to appeal to Nigerians to
remain calm.”
Muluzi also said the delegation would meet with
President Goodluck Jonathan to make the same appeal
so that he must appeal to his supporters to remain calm.
Meanwhile, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar
III-led Jama’atu Nasir Islam, has warned politicians
against jeopardising the nation’s democracy with the
postponment of the elections by INEC.
In its reaction to INEC’s decision to delay the polls, the
body also asked politicians to fear God in their actions.
The apex Islamic body said on Monday that political
gladiators should not jeopardise the already tensed
situation in the country.
A statement by the JNI’s Secretary-General, Dr. Khalid
Abubakar-Aliyu, in Kaduna on Monday, however, asked
Nigerians to remain calm by not further heating up the
polity.
It said, “The JNI, under the leadership of its President-
General, His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto and his
lieutenants, after listening to the shift in dates of the
2015 general elections by six weeks, as announced by
INEC, is watching with keen interest the uproar the
decision is currently generating in the country and
therefore calls for caution by all political gladiators.
“They should, in the name of God, not jeopardise the
already tensed situation of grief and anxiety.”

Before you all comment please read the last part.......we said it from day one......what has WAEC GHANA got to do with GMB certificate

WAEC is for west Africa and not Nigeria alone. But it seems the WAEC Ghana are saying they do not have Buhari's record, maybe someone made a statement that they do.

haibe:
see logic oo, isn't it because of election postponement they shifted Batch 14A POP backward?

So when do you think they can fix the incoming batch A, definitely not February, and March when election is coming up then. POP is just a day thing, when it's camp activities, a lot of preparation is needed.

ibzane4nafs:

He be like say u knw sabi talk? No be because of election they postponed d service

If they postponed 2015 batch A service because of election, now that election has also been postponed, don't you think it's either they leave it like that or postpone to June or July. They can't bring it back.

The Federal Government designed the N220bn Small and
Medium Enterprises Development Fund to tackle the
dearth of financial resources available to small
businesses and unleash their potential to create jobs
and reduce the incidence of poverty.
President Goodluck Jonathan made this declaration at
the opening of the National Summit on Raw Materials-
based SME Clusters in Nigeria hosted by the Raw
Materials Research and Development Council in Abuja
on Thursday.
Jonathan, who was represented at the event by the
Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Abdu Bulama,
said focusing on the transformation of raw materials in
each locality of the country was necessary in order to
diversify the economy in view of falling prices of crude
oil in the international market.
He said, “In spite of the recognition of MSMEs globally
as the critical engines of economic growth due to their
potential to create jobs, boost production, generate
income and reduce poverty; in Nigeria, they do not have
adequate financing needed to play this pivotal role.
“My administration’s decision to create the N220bn
MSME Fund as designed by the Central Bank of Nigeria
is, therefore, meant to address this challenge, support
entrepreneurs and unlock the potential of the MSMEs for
job creation and poverty reduction.
“This is also aimed at ensuring that productive sectors
of the economy continue to attract more finance
necessary for employment creation and diversification of
the country’s economic base.”
The President said the fund would enhance the capacity
to develop the grass roots through provision of financial
assistance to the active poor, who are majorly small
business owners, and by so doing, expand their
businesses and improve their livelihood.
He asked the management of the fund to collaborate
with the Ministry of Science and Technology to ensure
the successful implementation of the ward-based cluster
programme.
Jonathan added that the nation’s ability to transform
locally available raw materials into value-added
products, which were acceptable and globally
competitive, was crucial if Nigeria must be self-reliant.
“It is, therefore, a vital component of the country’s
overall strategy for achieving global competitiveness,
reduction of post-harvest losses and ensuring food
security,” he added.
The President, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, Dr.
Frank Jacobs, put the local raw materials utilisation
capacity of the country at 52 per cent as of 2013.

The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, says the APC
government will end current epileptic power supply in
the country.
Buhari told party supporters in Brinin Kebbi on
Thursdaythat “ending current epileptic power supply will
boost the economy and attract domestic and foreign
investment.”
He further said that, if elected, the administration would
focus on the provision of employment to curtail youth
restiveness and insecurity in the country.
“I will revive mining industries and give loan to our
businessmen and women in such a way that our
economy will emerge stronger than ever.
“My administration would utilize resources prudently
and end corruption through intensified anti-corruption
crusade; build schools, provide materials and
transportation for students,” Buhari said.
The APC candidate pledged to transform the health
sector through the provision of modern equipment,
qualified medical personnel and adequate drugs across
the country.
He noted the neglect of agriculture in the country,
saying that the APC government would open up the
sector, especially fishing and rice production, to
generate employment and boost rural economy.
“We will also be transparent and uphold trust and
confidence entrusted in us by Nigerians, if elected into
power in the 2015 elections,” he said.
In a remark, the APC governorship candidate in the
state, Alhaji Atiku Bagudo, assured that the people of
the state would vote massively for the party.
According to him, the Peoples Democratic Party
government has stagnated progress in the state and the
people are yearning for change.
Bagudo pledged to exploit the agriculture and mineral
resources in the state to provide employment and
generate revenue.
NAN reports that the presidential campaign was held on
Thursday at about 10:00 pm with large turn out of party
supporters.

poorly managed diversities include absence of
cohesion, low capacity or political will to address
resulting tensions, weak institutions of the state, in-
equalities in every facet, impunity, breakdown of

we generate, unless there is an efficient and effective
utilization, it will only create few billionaires. Unless we
fight corruption, the economy will only benefit the
greedy in our society.

I pledge to:

Work with the legislature to strengthen constitutional
provisions to make the meetings of the National
Economic Council more periodic and predictable and its
decisions more binding.

Industrial Relations

I pledge to:

Give political force to collective bargaining in all
sectors of the economy, revive Tripartite Committee of
Government, employers and workers organisations,
whose task would be to constantly review matters of
labour relations and the practice of industrial relations.
Undertake to institute an annual statutory tripartite
body contribute towards formulation and
implementation of broad macro-economic policies.
Reposition Ministry of Employment, Labour and
Productivity and all relevant agencies mandated to
manage labour dispute and grievance handling process
to ensure pre-emptive strategies to halt the current
frequent incessant strikes phenomenon.

Power

The power sector has become a monstrous
demonstration of corruption. Despite investment of
more than X there is nothing to show but few fat cats.

I pledge to:

War against corruption in the power sector
Tackle the issue of gas availability for the proposed
power plants
Emphasis alternative sources of power such as small,
medium and large hydro plants (Mambilla has capacity
for 4,700 megawatts), wind, coal and solar. Efforts will
be geared towards smaller and potable power supply.
Start an accelerated training of human resources for the
power sector.
Work with PenCom to consider giving soft loans to
power sector operators.

Youth and ICT Development

The youth are the salt of the nation. More than 60% of
our population is categorized as being of youth age.
The future of the nation depends on the brains of the
youth and not on what is buried under the ground.

I pledge to:

Declare support for the appointment of young people with requisite qualification into key political offices to
begin the incubation and mentoring for a successor
political generation.
Unveil a policy that all federal contractors must employ
at least 50% young people.
Work with the private sector to establish innovation
fund for young people.

schools so that they become self-employed.
Unveil a policy that will begin to multiply the efforts
and effects of technology incubation centers to at least
establish two of such centers in each of the
geopolitical zone.
Establish a free-tuition and scholarship scheme for
pupils who have shown exceptional aptitude in science
subjects at O/Levels to study ICT-related courses.
Immediately establish linkages with friendly names to
champion exchange programmes for the acquisition of
IT related skills.
Extend the local content policies to cover software and
hardware developments in the youth-driven markets.
Put in place a quality assurance mechanism to ensure
that standards are met and adhered to and make it a
policy for companies to procure a % of their ICT needs
from the local market.
Hold a summit of all ICT service providers, OEMs, etc
both local and foreign that are doing business in
Nigeria to device concrete skills transfer and capacity
building models in a sustainable manner.

Na you I catch for nairaland so?

HizMissy:


Not that kinda love, d oda kinda love.

Remember that God is love. Can you define the love you're talking about?

HizMissy:
op, i love you!

I thought your signature said you have no love in you?

Joavid:
All that matters to a mature sensible man is a good wife.

For those who preserve their virginity hymen for whatever reason, thumbs up to them. I pray you won't be disappointed.

We know The main thing is being a good wife but what's the correlation between being a virgin and getting disappointed. See there's no man that won't respect you more when they find out you're a virgin, no matter the nonsense they're spilling here on nairaland.

jeflexy:

dont be stupid, atleast u'll die before the crocodile would feast on u...
Does a dead man feel pains

Is that how fast a snake bite kills?

naijaboiy:
Well I don't care

We understand your situation bro.

dannydaniels:
hnm.. .see wahala......well shaa we'll see to that

We understand your situation.

eleojo23:
We thank God for the life of these men.
While it is recommended that we listen to them, let us not idolize any of them because they are humans like us. They are not infallible and that's why the Bible remains our sure reference point with the Holy Spirit as the best teacher.

And if you notice, each of these men emphasize a certain truth in the bible and when you bring their messages together you have a balanced christian. So it is not advisable to listen to you pastor alone because he will only emphasize the truth which he has received much light on. The christian life is not only about deliverance from Satan and sicknesses, neither is it only about prosperity, neither is it only about dealing with sin nor any other thing that the preacher emphasizes. It is God's will that we be delivered from the hands of Satan and sin and it also His will that we prosper. So you see that listening to only one person makes you strong in only what that preacher emphasizes.

I believe that God has a purpose for giving each pastor a point of emphasis. He wants each truth to be fully developed so that his children can benefit from these truths. But most Christians fail to see the big picture and that's why there is inter-denominational 'war' and 'my pastor is better than yours' syndrome.

Like I said earlier, as you listen to them don't forget to test what they say with the Word not in the spirit of antagonism but in the spirit of one who is on a quest to lay hold on truth.

You're on point bro.

F00028:


what they did is actually biblical not Islamic.

The problem people like you have, is the difficulty to realize we're no more under the Old testament, we are now under the Kingdom principles laid down by Christ.

She is 13

Does she want to get married to her ra*pist?

That's a good question.

Date for NYSC Batch A 2014 POP
JANUARY 6, 2015
The Director General of the NYSC today during the #
meetNYSCDG365 tweetchat on Twitter stated that the
2014 Batch A Corps Members’ service ends on 12th of
February. But corps members will have to return for their
certificates on March 2nd due to the fact that they are
participating in the February 2015 Elections. It should be
noted that there probably won’t be any passing out
parade as he said it will be ‘lowkey’ for security reasons.
He also confirmed the shift of the 2015 Batch A
Orientation from March to May and also Batch B will now
be held in October.
