My own two cents too will be that you should thread lightly in matters of abortion with a woman you are already married to first.. she may never see you the same ever again if you push too hard. A blessing is blessing and at 39 at that.. Perhaps in your mind it's a necessity to abort given the plans you have laid down for yourself, it is an absolute right of every thinking man, but to her if you do push it too forward, you might appear as a bit selfish. Motherhood is everything to a woman. Financial independence or not.. Take that away from her, you scar her. Even if or when she understands your reason, she will never get over it. And given that it's intentional and not a miscarriage.

Second if it's financial insecurity and independence.. I will say this, you have been strong and resourceful enough to have carried your family up to this point, maybe this readjustment might stress you a bit, but then again it's always here and there for men in this world. Stress is part of any able body man daily life. However in the long run, that stress has always paid off, stressing rightfully at least that is, and you will be surprised you may be the one that will benefit the most at the end of the day, because not limiting your self with whatever you have going on right now but pushing yourself further to provide and cater for your family will generate new ideas in you that even you probably didn't know you are capable of.. maybe you need to make more connections, maybe you need to establish a little bit more, or maybe you just need a new different perspective of what it is possible in the realms of men, such thinking could be enough to unlock and generate unseen opportunities and God's favor.. Just by simply understanding that, it should enough to raise your spirit a little bit. You are a realist, and that helps too.

Lastly. I will say, if God has decided to bless your household with a child, you should be honored. I don't know if you are religious or not, but in logical terms you are only as good as you think you are, plan or no plan, and in many ways too a man is only as weak as he beliefs himself to be.. In the end, it's a matter of individual and personal conviction of your own capacity and capabilities.. follow your guts, you are still the master of your own destiny. If however your wife isn't on the same page afterwards, no talk say Dem no warn you.. instead of waiting to be 90 years old, perhaps you should shift perspective as to what would your 90 years old self tell your 39 years old regarding this, what advice will he give, be it positively optimistic or later regret, which ever suits you best, you will know.. If you think you will be happy sticking with what you already have, perhaps you can come to sort of an understanding with her because it's not just your decision alone, it's also her child that you are talking about getting rid of. But either way, your wife na still your wife, just be willing to accept that she may never see you the same again. Marriage na by strength, no be by plans alone. Men plan, God executes.
Wish you well brother.

Why can't Obi remain in LP. He won 6 million votes with that party. Or did he not?

All this epistle because a man worked to build up something for his own use and they seem to be hijacking it from him, instead of wasting his chances he is trying to build up something again and you still have the effontry to be bad mouthing him for doing what he believes and not supporting those who are mainly opportunistic pest. Must he support Obi? I do not think that is a mandatory obligation for any statesman nor is it in any of their minions place to instigate such.

The real question most Nigerians are not asking is why is Obasanjo afraid of Atiku becoming president or having a major role to play in Nigeria affairs. That has been the thorn in his rib since the fall out with the former president thus far. Either Atiku wants to personally deal with Obj and has the evidence to do so but doesn't trust any Nigeria administration to go through with it or he is afraid of Obj coming back as a major mouthpiece for a new Nigeria administration. Either way, Na only the two of dem know wetin dem chop weh deh make noise for their belle.
And as for Obi, just like in '23 he will pull a lot of votes but he won't win. That is just a pure fact. Even he himself knows this. There is just too many evidence to support the fact that his stance as wanting a new Nigeria based on integrity faltered the moment he left LP hanging high and dry in the dust. And a lot of stakeholders sees him now for what he is, not what he is claiming to be. Another liar, who will say, do, and comply with anything for his own selfish interest.
For a man whose whole mantra is based on integrity, he sure has a funny way of practicing what he preaches.

QuinQQ:
How is that half naked?
So what do you call this below?

Stop using bad examples to justify not acting right

ariesbull:
that has always been the question


WHY

The federal government doesn't actually forbid the secession of Biafra Republic, or Igbos leaving, the problem the Nigeria government have with that is breaking an indissoluble nation into pieces. If Igbos all come together today and say they want to match out of Nigeria and go to Cameroon, no one will stop them. But saying they want to stay inside Nigeria, occupying a territory of Nigeria landmass and claiming it as theirs, while declaring a sovereignty that's where the problem is.. it's like me building my house, u stayed inside for a long time, and you want to claim the part you are staying as your own because you have been there for a long time. That doesn't add up.. that territory called Igbo land is not for Igbo people and has never been an Igbo land, they are people only occupying the South Eastern part of the country Nigeria. If the tribe as a whole wants to match our of Nigeria and initiate their own exodus tomorrow, with a quick referendum at that, I don't think the Nigerian government will have a problem with that.

While this may seem uneasy to accept for some people and want to argue and defend themselves. The reality is, the better you understand what binds a country together, the harder it is to split it into pieces. Regionally we are suffering, individually we are not that better off from each other, so instead of clamouring up and down with relentless agitations towards lost causes, perhaps the focus should shifted towares reorientation of the next and future generations, and ones that are abroad instead of poisoning their soul and spirit with vile towards their own country.. because as for this generation and the previous ones, they are already a goner.

The only way they can exonerate themselves from this is a proper time stamp of the deceased until the time they pronounced her dead and backing it up with adequate scientific evidence that the foul play wasn't as a result of their own negligence or lack of all necessary medications. The time the snake bit her, when she was admitted, how long under any giving condition does the snake venom usually becomes fatal, and what was the patient medical condition. If all this didn't add up. I truly hope they sue the hell of that institution, and shame all those who are in charge for letting such a tragedy hit the family of this young vibrant lady..

Why most northerners can not utilise this wonderful facilities to acquire wastern education.

There are actually a lot of educated and learned northerners you know. The thing is, they don't often come into the public space, which is why we don't see or hear much about them. The ones that mostly make it to the public space are the one on the other sides, they are still Nigerians but Gosh they can be stain on the face on the nation sometimes.. If it's school aboki deh go school well well.. deh even encourage it more, but the reality is, education no deh their blood and not their first priority. Gaskia ni.. It is not a huge part of their duty. While some do learn, or even teach, it is not seen as major prospect to a fulfilled life, so it not easily acknowledged. And the ones that actually do go to school, are always very brilliant, as a matter of fact only their best actually proceed with western education, but then again after all the learning and training, they always do go back home and go on about their life and day as normal as it is.. maybe they brag among themselves I don't know but it doesn't seem likely much as even professors, you will still see them hanging around their friends who are menama mallams and still drinking evening ginger tea together.. that said, kudos to ones who still value education.

Supply Nylons, Disposable Cups and Straws, Servets and Tissue Papers to Bars and Restaurants. Everyday you will have orders to fill. With steady leg works, you will up your client lists.

Black Market Diesel/Petrol
Any Okada park( mostly the ones inside street or estate) go down 2 minutes walking distance from their stands, set up table, negotiate for space, maybe daily, weekly or monthly. Mostly daily. Start with 25litres.. It's a repeat business. Easy to expand, and it doesn't spoil.

POS.. Normally it's not as lucrative as people think, the only advantage is you have access to cash almost all the time, but cash in hand is different from profit margins. And you need a very busy location, hospital areas, police station areas those are prime locations, inside market is for everyone, too many moving variables you will have to be everywhere to stand out..

Snacks( kpuf kpuf. Plantain Chips, Pop Corn )
Prime area, schools, hospital, police Stations and motor parks.. Minimum entry level is 40-50k

Boiled Eggs and Pepper Stick Gizzards.. Prime location hospital, police stations, bars and lounges and bus stops/junctions. You may have to extend into late nights, which is when it gets a bit lucrative but this is a business for mostly some set of people. Entry level is very low, but it takes a lot of toll on the whoever is involved with it.

Other notable ones are, Writing materials, school area.. even if na Tray and one small Table around any school district.. you are good to go.. An average student spends 30-40 % of their allowances on writing materials.. They always loose it and never tired or buying new ones.

Fruits (Oranges, WaterMelon, Banana, Pineapple) Prime locations, Estate Gate, Hospital, Police Station, Bus Stops.

The real question is, why must there be a world power in the first place. This never ending cycle of wanting to dominate everything and everyone is not particularly healthy nor is it ideal. If US is not world power too, will they collapse?

I don't think city is serious about winning anything this season with the rate at which this results keeps fluctuating. UCL is definitely not certain, EPL that we are sort of banking on is going wobbly. No major achievement this season so far. Guardiola's fatigue is starting to show.. and city is too fragile to just hand over to any manager.. If a formidable Liverpool line up can fail under a new manager, there's no hope in sight for city squad.. Arterta that ought to take over has been long gone. VKomp is busy, and IGdhan still has a lot to catch up on. How long will this continue.. This is really saddening as a city fan.

All of you are giving him suggestions to make him even look more guilty than trying to prove something to people that doesn't deserve his explanation in the first place.
See my brother, if you are perfectly sure of what you do for a living, don't run from anyone of them, first go straight to your landlord if he or she is accessible, notify him or her that you have lodged a mandatory report to your nearest police station regarding suspicion of discriminatory acts towards your person in relations with your work, and as a result you feel they may set you up or otherwise give unscrupulous reports about you and where by tarnishing your image and undermining your own safety as a person. So you need an undertaken from them the neighbors and you just want the landlord to be aware.. Prove to them that you are well educated and not be running up and down.. because even if you pack, the next place you go to what makes you think the news isn't already there. But if you make them sign an undertaken first. Then you can move out of the area. Rubbish illiterate people. Enlightening may not be enough, if you bring the law into it yourself before they went ahead to table your matter, na u go know then.. take action against them or even make it known through someone who you know is the CNN among them. He will broadcast.. lock up for them for a while and later just relax.. but show force or even threatening force is enough to let them step back. No run oo.. if you run, you will be running in every situation you find yourself in.. that's my piece

If he kills it, it's a crime.., in accordance to their state law on animal protection laws. Normally self, he was suppose to call animal control, and excuse the building or the area pending their arrival, and they will come within the hour..all have their numbers. Mostly in their remote areas like this, this looks like Perak, or either Sabah or Sarawak

donareal:
but this Honda jazz is very rugged and durable according to what I have heard so far.

But you said it yourself, the car may not be able to handle the condition of most potted holes Nigerian roads. Low ground clearance. That doesn't mean it won't drive, but just headaches and heart failure each time you mistakenly hit one of those shitty pot holes. Especially during the raining season where water covers most of the roads entirely, in places like Lagos that is. And with low ground clearance, no be double wahala be that, for a car that's not for flexing but for either profit making value or as an alternative car for multiple car owners.
And as someone stated, affordability is another factor for a car like that.. A typical Nigerian working man do a lot of calculation before buying cars, it's only Dem Dem G guys that mostly buy cars blindly without second, third or fourth thought of consideration.

donareal:
According to the reviews I have seen on YouTube (not by Nigerians), the Honda jazz also known as the Honda fit is a very rugged and very reliable and a fuel efficient car. The main thing that attracts me to the car is the magic backs seats which enables creation of more space for transporting cargos.

I notuced the car is not very popular amongst Nigerians and I wonder why. I hardly see them on Nigerian roads, especially in Southern Nigeria. Is it because it is Honda or is there another reason people are not buying them?

I am aware the car has a low ground clearance which means it may not go very well with our Nigerian pot hole filled roads and badly made speed bumps. Could these be the reasons why Nigerian are not going for them.

Please guys help with answers. I am considering buying one.

Nigerians Auto Market is based on 2 Factors..
Flexing or Ruggedity.
There's no point in having your mechanic number on speed dial because of a car that doesn't give you flexing and bragging rights, that's the naija mentality..

and on the other hand, durability.. if it can't handle the stress of a real commercial purpose car, it's not worth it. It might make sense for Uber, and Cabs, but again maintainance is another thing. In some places like IB, you will see Motos, not cars anymore but motos that you wouldn't belief will start up and still raking in at least close 30-40k per week.. and low maintenance..

For profit, it must be rugged enough, have 3rd to 4th hand value and most of all low cost maintenance. And for flexing it must be elegant with a Bleep you headlights attached..

As brilliant as innoson innovation is, the brand has not been considering this factor. Even their luxury models, still doesn't carry weight that much.. because it makes no sense buying a 200million naira Benz, when Innoson has the same style and model for the original product line price and without the hassle of custom duty and all those nonsense.

Tinubu insulting a revered Yoruba leader Chief S.L Akintola of present day Oyo state.

He wasn't insulting.. Watch the video.. ahba.. it's just one minute video

madridguy:
You just exposed yourself as someone with no single IQ. Baba Tinubu have never called himself a youth or a young man, we, his followers never called him a young man, it is liars like you calling your Temu messiah youth

Abeg which one be Temu messiah again lol

You sound like a charlatan.. the number of words you defend yourself with would have been enough to point me in the right direction. It not mandatory I join your rat nest of a Whatsapp group before you answer my question.

Do you have any referrals or testimonial references to back this up. Couples or few people that have benefited and who can attest to your genuinety of service. Maybe ones that have traveled to other countries but through your service

He is stupid enough to get away with spending some of the money before recovery and even finishing a building project which I assume will take at least a month or two. A whole month that you can first drain the acc.. Go to a major Buruea d change Mallam.. Buy 250kusd in cash the very next morning, although he may have pull 3 others to supply the dollar but they will come up with the money cash.. receive it in cash.. prep some contract documents to present to bank when you are going there in person to make the first trabsfe, it's a new contractual funds and you are paying engineers. Another 250kusd the following week.. and 3rd week 300million naira worth of Gold, that's just few gold bars.. the rest, even if they catch up on, you would have made off well.. Ready your trip to Ghana by road.. no passport needed. Reach Ghana apply for Ghana Passport, you will pay exorbitantly but you will get it. Deposit the funds and gold sales into your new several Ghanaian acct... Enter Germany with your new Ghana passport essily, and just laylow and gently hustle small for like a year over there and learn about spare part business. It doesn't make enough money in Ghana though, but it's profits is constant.. start your own multi hectare farm in Nigeria, be an oversight nothing on your name or any family member, if anything your relative can be employed as manager but never your direct or immediate family member, because they will still be watching you. If you are able to be a good oversight in 5 years. You will be able to payback the money if push comes to shove and bail yourself out.. you will pay 200million fine and serve 6months if you don't have an excellent attorney.. Down side is you will be dead in Nigeria for a while, but for a million dollar, that can be used wisely, it can be worth it. You don't even have to put your name on anything Nigeria again. Just supervise your projects, as an oversight and let banks be chasing clouds.

Jakumo:
Glad to hear that you do NOT side with the genocidal Islamist slave-raiders whose GPS locations merited inclusion in Uncle Sam's target list. This means we will all have more to rejoice about very soon when Santa Trump's pest eradication agenda for Nigeria resumes with full ferocity and pinpoint accuracy very soon.

And that's the word.. PIN POINT ACCURACY. and collaboration with the Nigerian Armed Forces

psalmsjob:
Just dey dream your dream abeg I no get time to engage people like in this kind of discussion that's just fantasy of your imagination.

Japan, Germany, Korea, UAE etc still has a US base in their country up till tomorrow and that does not mean they don't have sovereignty of their country but it is to deal with threats such as what Nigeria is facing with these terrorists terrorizing us and our sovereignty and way of life so you guys are more okay with that than to have America help us root them out then you love the terrorist more than Nigeria and hate Tinubu "government" more than you love Nigeria.

Killing is never okay, blood is always a big expense and terrorism should never be condole. My take is, the negligence of government towards the plight of multitude gave rise to this radicalized ideas. But while that is, it is also our problem, our own lack of adherence to the social and economic injustice ravaging the country gave rise to this Insanity, and not a religious issue. To move forward, it has to be from a well curated orientation gaining towards a sustainable nation, even if at that, that a fear factor it is to be introduced for some redirection, said factor should come from the Nigerian defence body and not a foreign nation. That's the absolute unwelcoming part. And that goes for this administration and previous ones failing to focus on things that matters the most. Security, Education, and uplifting standard of living.. A radicalized mind can't be swayed by bombs, when they themselves can strap the freaking thing to themselves to prove thier point.

Jakumo:
I could not be bothered reading most of your rambling dissertation, but what you need to keep in mind is a firm assurance that MORE precision missile and drone strikes are scheduled for Nigeria in the very near future, and that there isn't a damn thing you can do to stop it.

If you cannot bear the thought of brain-damaged inbred Islamist terror gun-toting slave-raiders being generously assisted by the US military in their quest to collect a 72-virgin allocation in their imaginary paradise, I would like to suggest that you stage a one-man protest in front of the White House, where you can stomp about screeching like a lunatic while holding a placard bearing your declaration that reads as follows: " I am mad as hell, and will not take it any more".

If you happen to be an immigrant in America who has the audacity to criticize US governmental foreign policy, you'll probably get tackled by ICE agents during your protest, and summarily deported to a lovely residence-of-no-return located in beautiful El Salvador

I am not going to lecture you on what sovereignty means, because clearly you have no idea what it is.
While your whole idea of response is based on the assumption that I sympathize with the atrocities committed by some armed radicalized entities is nothing but false, your fault in admitting that Nigeria is being attacked by a foreign nation, whose only interest is not for growth or development of our country but their continuous pillaging and exploitation clothed in a pretty garments is appalling.
I am a Nigerian, not an American. I don't beg, I don't bend, and I certainly do not squill. Not fully developed yes, but we are developing. And the price for it, sometimes comes in blood. So to fully answer you and whatever idea you seem to have. I want my nation to succeed, and we will succeed. If you can't and don't have stomach for it, I suggest you chill your slave owners. We are not slaves over here

Can you visit the area in Sokoto before the the US bombings?

Extraordinary times requires extraordinary measure. We need to destroy the terrorist bandits kidnappers and their sympathizers too. More bomb on them from every angle as long as it will destroy the them all is a welcome bombing.

Show me any article these so-called lovers of ordinary Nigeria ever posted to call terrorists out when they struck before.... Hypocrites

First, it's not about being a terrorist sympathizer, it's about the bombing. A nation like Nigeria, the most populated and probably organized black nation in the world should not bend to colonial autonomy nor their geopolitical agendas. The failure of this administration in arming itself against domestic threat gave a foreign entity the audacity to launch an attack on it's soil. Bombs are not bullets.

And secondly, while this is being categorized as whatever these people are claiming it to be, it is an attack on the sovereignty of any thinking and reasonable government because we are not at war with them. The overall power to launch a tactical and I mean tactical airstrike should fall on the Nigerian Air force, not an alien nor outsider. They can supply us with equipments but it should be left with us to call the shots.. all things being equal, a directives should have been given in the first place and since that didn't happen, it is also safe to say, the Nigeria government first should seize all US Emissary Passports in the country, instruct the national defence committee and the Nigerian Air force to mount heavy guard on all available airfield in the country. Position a round the clock guard for all US Emissaries. Blockade all US passport holder from leaving the country, suspend active working hour in US, Uk, France and Saudi Arabia embassy, redirect trade route towards Berlin, Singapore, and 2 other benovelent countries, establish further and deeper co-operation with the ECOWAS state, sign a new security deal with china and Russia, and renogiatiate whatever deals with the US Government, america does not help any country in the world besides Israel or where their interests are. They can never be a friend that respects. Control, control, control that's all america is

And as for, our domestic security council.. this is more than a wake up call. I do hope they will keep their mandatory obligation in defending the nation in this time and not get swooped into political or religious narratives..
And lastly, why a lot of people do not welcome this US participation is solely because it violates the sovereignty of our own national defense.

Why can’t the airlines reduce ticket fees so they don’t fly near empty planes during those periods you mentioned?

They blamed scarcity of jet fuel before but since Dangote refinery came on board, we’ve not heard them mention scarcity.

What is the real reason why a flight from Lagos to Abuja that used to cost less than 50k suddenly went up as high as 150-200k for a one way trip?

Sure it make sense to think about it that way.. but realize this, airplane maintenance is way more costly than you think. A small defect it's all takes for an airplane to crash.. which by the way a single crash can ruin an entire Airliner, and that's one. Secondly, the parts they replace are not bought in Ladipo auto market, combine that with sourcing, and importing them and paying for the best, well available best airplane mechanics who are not particularly cheap, .. furthermore they do cut prices, that's why the run promos, you can book ahead of a date if you are willing to travel, the highest they will do is hike the price in the range of maybe 20%. It is something I have experienced well enough. If you will be travelling by air say 5-6 times in a year, you pre book and not wait until when you want to make that journey.. And lastly, it's not just about fuel cost, there is a lot that goes into running an airline. Like someone said, earlier in the comment, running an airline is not that easy nor is it cheap.. the same 2008/09 Toyota Sport that was going for 3point something million naira 2 years ago is well over 6m now..

Timi Frank don show self again. Nobody is taking him seriously.

What he is saying does makes a lot of sense though.. Tinubu's wariness of coup, may actually precipitate the very danger he is trying to avoid all together. As much as most people don't wish for the return of military rule in Nigeria, but constantly Medline with the military ranks by a civilian administration can easily spark the act of coup in a country like Nigeria. Unlike the developed world where military overthrow seems likely implausible, it's not the same for us here in the global south.. all they need is an excuse which there is plenty of, and the spark could easily be the next election run... Although a bit of a long shot as Tinubu dominance in politics now is very glaring but one miscalculated step, can have a dangerous ripple effect. Once you seize inec result, declare a state of emergency and the next thing is Phellow Nigerians all over again..

It makes me happy whenever I read something like this.. no matter how bad the country be, there are still people who are committed to making it work. Even if na just 100 people e go employ, at least 3 of those people will be able to stabilize their own life and possibly maybe empower another hundred people. Kudos to him for the acquisition.
