I have faint memories of these coins, but i sure saw them sha but cant recall to what extent i used them.

septua: Hi.i am young woman in my early 20s. I have been seeing a young man of 30 for about a year now and about 2 months ago he started talking about marriage plans although he hasn't proposed but i took that as one.

He has rented a 3 bedroom apartment and promised to take me to his parents towards the end of the year. Long story short we planned to get married next year.

I trust him although i fear he might disappoint me as he is still struggling. But 3 weeks ago my people called me home from were i was doing my service to meet a man that has come for my hand in marriage. The man is handsome and wealthy but he is 16 years older than me and that alone makes me uncomfortable. Plus i dont really like him.

we seem not to have much in common, But my mum and my aunty have been begging me to marry him as we are sort of going through financial breakdown and they see him as a kind of saviour. Plus my mums pastor says he has seen the marriage in vision before now.

The marriage will be done in less than 4 months if i say yes, And if i say no then i will have to wait for my man till mid next year.

So i ask please will you consider your family and go into the marriage or wait for your love.

Gurl, you sink and swim with the man you love. When the hulabaloo (not sure of that spelling) is over, you ALONE will live with your misery. Take a decision that will make you happy and a decision that if you are unhappy thereafter, you can look back and tell yourself, 'it was my choice'. There is no guarantee that the rich man will remain rich or that your struggling boyfriend will not step up his game and start doing well, experiences abound along those lines. My views.

femi4: If your schedule is usually sent to your inbox. I guess your inbox should come first

My former MD said if you do not read your inbox first thing in the morning, you could be working for free as you could have been fired by close of work the previous day. I read my inbox first. Everything else follows.

Another personal tip that has worked for me is to drink a beer down the road after work and articulate the unfinished business of the day and then itemize the things i need to do upon resumption the next day, it hasnt failed as yet.

justokey: I agree she should face the law. But lawyers in the house please bail me out...Can she be tried with this new law since she committed the offence before the law was signed and gazatted?

The old law can be referenced into the new law and by 'savings' the new law will take over the provisions of the repealed law. What the law frowns at is to make a law operative in retrospect. In simple terms, YES, if i was the prosecution, i will contest vigorously that she can be tried on the new law, so long as teh transition is captured vides teh opeartion of 'savings'.

However, this is not to say that i agree with the facts of the case, i have never really been interested in reading the matter up. If her hands are not clean, let the law take its course. However, i find it difficult to sympathize with the LASTMA guy, those buf00ns should all be killed off.

[quote author=Brand_new]I hope she doesn`t eventually go the way of Stella.[/quote]I know what i think

Makzylopez: (FEC) today approved N65.223 billion for the reconstruction of the same road you are talking about,Benin-Sagamu road.we are always in a haste to criticize destructively....GEJ visit I ope will be a moral boaster to the team ahead f the crucial match.

Haa, with Christmas just by the corner, this will mean another level of suffering when i am driving back for Xmas. I hope they will wait till next year before they commence the rehabilitation process.

shizzle11: Hmmmn, human beings and mindset, nawaooo!


@Dimples, swwetie, no offense pls, you jst turned 29 and still single, and the posts from the family section scares you from even 'thinking' marriage and you want to dedicated th rest of your life taking care of your ageing parents(as if those who are married don't happily do that). Do you intend to get kids (that is of course out of wedlock) cos u'll definately need one or two to take care of you when you start ageing. Just asking'o, and maybe a food for thought for some.

I opted not to contribute to this thread since i have my own opinion which is already fixated. However i did not know that the real reason why people have children, is, according to you to take care of them when they start aging. Honestly in my world, i had grown out of that mindset. My parents have enough investments not to bother about what i am able to do for them, and i am growing mine to ensure i do not rely on children to take care of me. Dude, I honestly agree with Dimples. Marraige provides nothing additional to our daily lives neither does it guarantee anything. We should learn to cut these sisters a slack. If they so choose to remain, so let it be, even your holy book that most of you will kill for (the bible, and btw i believe in it too) has not insisted on marriage, it only requires couples to have a single partner in marriage. There were several in bible times that never got married and it was not counted an error or offence for them. People should be able to do whatever makes them happy and forget about what society thinks, afterall when u get unhappy in marriage, same society will start bad mouthing you and saying you cannot keep a household. SMH

sheyguy: Even after spending some decent millions eating daily! i think Mr. President here it trying to keep his options wide open by keeping thing secret, you never can tell, he may need it to maneuver some issues as time goes . . . Otueke politics in display . . .
BTW, when are going to have a world class hospital in Nigeria? First Stella, and now Patience.

I do not get the connect between Stella and Patience. Or do u have information that we do not possess? Stella died, Patience

Acidosis: N I G E R I A N S

T. B JOSHUA - No!
PASTOR CHRIS - No!
BISHOP OYEDEPO - No!

okayy let me deviate..

EVANG. REINHARD BONNKE - YES!!
BILLY GRAHAM - YES !
JOEL OSTEEN - YES YES ! !


Cursed Continent..

To all of them, its a No No for me, all hypocrites and and a bunch of lying and thiefing crooks.

The guy is a Nigerian and should be given a Nigerian burial. He died as a Federal Government property, he was shortly before his death, housed, clothed and fed by the Federal Government, so why would they expect anyone to come and claim his corpse? information available to us is that he actually used a borrowed name. he is actually from EKITI STATE

nakedall: the OP is a liar! 4 children, bank work, save 6M na 419 the guy bi, no wonder den fired ham.

you are dummy. How much is N6m in savings? i do not know whether we got the exact number of years the guy had worked in the bank, but if you get into any good bank at a fairly senior level, let us even say from SBO/SBE, you can save up that much inside 2 years if you are careful with expenses. To add to that, if you do a few other things by the side (i do part time lecturing and i also prepare documents for people as a solicitor) you will even earn and save a lot more. You must be a kid believing that N6m is such a stupendous amount, SMH

The Irony of this is that, you see most of the very rich couples having only 2 or 3 or 4 kids and the very poor couples breeding as if they were competing in an olympreek (olympic) game.

I believe it is only one son in the qaudrplets, for that I say congratulation Ma. God has really granted your hearts desire.
This is a clear case of tempting nature... God in His infinite wisdom gave you 1,2,3,4,5 (I believe beautiful gals). But you were asking God to please EMBARASS you with more blessings. So why is she crying for help from the govt and the society.

On a serious note, women are mostly the architect of their woes... After 2 or 3 gals, why didn't the woman just give up. If hubby wanted to please himself so much with a male child, let him ADOPT. why risk your health and stretch your meagre finances just to please a Man who didn't even think of facing his fears/RESPONSIBILITIES, before absconding.

On Point.

emma bowin: light is excellent in many parts of benin city.But there is room for improvement

What is the next superlative after excellent? You don't improve beyond excellent, you only sustain it.

@ Topic, I don't recall having seen light after last weekend except it comes when I am not home

Freiburger: What are the good things that has been keeping your relationship or marriage in good shape?

Perfecting and renewing my lying strategy on an ongoing basis

omowolewa: Please tell Jonathan not to try walking without security men in Anambra especially Onitsha. Else, his kidnappers will demand the entire foreign reserves and excess crude account balances before they release him. Thatz if they decide not to kill him anyway.

Whenever, I pass through the so call Onitsha, I always check if the sticker that reads 'keep off, Angels on guard' is still there on my car. I just don't want to risk it.

Bros forget that sticker. If they put you on their agenda, they will abduct you and the sticker plus the angel on guard join, and the angel will expect you to pay the ransom for the two of you for making him walk (abi fly) an unholy ground. LOL

I cant put my fingers on any. I guess those that listen when i speak may be in a better position to define this 'speech mannerism'

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Was it the "Pastor" who declared the security measure?[/quote]The pastor engineered and facilitated the decision. The congregation spoke his voice and intendment.

Ndipe: Nigeria also has a "National Enquirer magazine?"

Copycats!

Hi ndipe. It's good to see you again online. When next you are here, please let me know how I can get CaMara Laye's African Child. You may reach me on hard_body99@yahoo.com.

As for your response, my mouth is shut.

^^^ Cant be better presented***

ifyalways: When do you have time to hug, kiss and grab "your" husband when you are obviously in your friends house observing them style

Hope you won't go kiss, hug or grab your friends hubby as you "think" she aint doing it right ?

Could it be your "constant" presence that is stopping this couple from getting their groove on? Maybe you should just spend more time at your "own" home.

Goodmorning ! Nigeria.

Can be better presented. You said it all. Woman, spend more time in your house welcoming your husband and let them have their time to welcome themselves, Haba!!!

Truth is, he might have no complicity in the sale to the people that killed cynthia, never the less, by selling to some other persons, and against the law (as it were, namely without a doctor's presciption) he has been caught on the wrong side of the law. It should be easy for a good lawyer to distinguish between the act of sales to a wrong person (which should be charged differently)and the sale by known (or unknown persons) to the killers of Cynthia.

The beautiful thing about criminal law and procedure is that the prosecution will have to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt while teh defendant only needs to throw spanners into the case of the prosecution. Applying this scenario in the extant case, the OP's friend only needs to raise doubts in teh mind of the court that he did not sell to the killers even if he sold to other persons thereafter. This will be achieved in the process of cross examination of the killers.

In summary, worry more about getting a good lawyer who may even in the first instance apply for his freedom on the basis of fundamental human rights and then prepare a good defence on the trial. If he is innocent, chances are that the odds will be more in his favour. I wish you both good luck and Godspeed.

footreja: @ All, don't let us deceive ourselves, onitsha has been an abode for criminal activities since God-knows-when. I was on my way to Enugu enroute Onitsha around 2003. I had a stop over at Onitsha, to relax and have a feel of the city. Immediately locals saw me, i saw strange movements and sensed danger. Off i continued on my journey. I later learnt how criminals attack strangers even in broad daylight. How i wish we could shun mud-slinging and deliberate on way out of these rampant crimes in the east. It's disgusting.

Ol boy u take risk ooo. I have a pact with my God never to step on that town called onitsha, I just drive through. It is so bad that if I am travelling by road in december, I stop at asaba, sleep over in a hotel and then drive through onitsha early in the morning. I have experienced their attack once, and I don't wish it for an enemy

cheddarking: Read the report again...

Then show me where the kidnappers are described as ARMED...

You are so foking dumb. Would u imagine that kidnappers cajole their victims knowing fully well that they could be attacked? Yeye dey smell

Would this happen after the disintegration that had been said will happen in 2013 abi 2015. Why do these Americans always double speak? Do they think we are dummies, nonsense

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]if i were Igbo, i would kill or hold all Malaysians in 9Ja hostage until the Malaysian Govt. is forced to free this poor fella. As Igbos, it is your tribal duty to protect one another.[/quote]We as igbos are not daf.t., neither are we tribalistic as you claim, at any rate, we are not generally blinded by emotion. We try to be as reasonable and rational as possible. When a guy has committed a crime and is indicted, he should face the full wrath of the law. We dont angage in a shameful fight.

anataala: IGBO MAN AND MONEY SHAMELESS MAN AT 50, NO BODY WILL APPEAL FOR U FROM NIGERIA 98% OF THE ACCUSED HARD DRUGS CRIMES ARE IGBOS WHY?

you are so phoking dumb. did u just say(write) anything?

vislabraye: Nigerians are known to be notorious abroad.
I watched a documentary "Banged Up Abroad". Its a story about how foreigners get indicted for committing crimes in other countries.
There were three Americans who were caught for drug traffiking in Brazil and were sentenced to a maximum security prisons where you would dee hardened criminals. Guess what, Nigerians were there. They were very much at home in the cell running things.
To cut the long story short, these Nigerians were planning to escape and they did only to be caught later.

Obviously a true life story narrated first hand by the affected. Weldone Sir.

berem: this topic is not suppose to make the front page.the poster knows that people will definitely throw insults on ojukwu.U know very well that Ojukwu's face can never be on a naira note so why bring the topic in the first place.if we igbos want to honour Ojukwu we will do it in igbo land where he will be greatly honoured.a yoruba or hausa man can never honour Ojukwu cos he means nothing to them.so celebrating Ojukwu as a national hero is a waste of time.and those insulting Ojukwu I guess you dunno what it takes to be a biafran hero.

Ojukwu minced no words in dissociating himself from the contraption called Nigeria. I am certain if the dead were to be conscious of anything, he will not even have accepted the silly military right accorded him in death.

And for those mouthing him, the truth is that the entire Yoruba race is beneath the Ojukwu clan. First graduate in military in Nigeria. Oxford trained? From a very rich background? A beg Yiriba eediots should all shut up. Fwools.

If the buffoooons were to be that good, why are they being humbled and humiliated everyday by a rag tag illiterate Boko Haram. Just shut da Phok up and swallow your bitterness Eejiot
