ckkris: National Assembly will never be able to pass a law to islamise Nigeria. If they try, they will discover the limits of Southern Nigeria subsidising the North since 1914. But the North has effectively been integrating with the South, but not as fast as Northern masses (talakawa), and the Southerners, generally desire to see. People like Sanusi will always use the instruments of The State to delay such massive integration, in order retain whatever remains of their previously absolute control of Northern peoples.

And how is having non-interest banks synonymous with islamizing Nigeria? . Has the Islamic Bank of Britain now islamized Britain? . Instead of your knee-jerk reaction against anything islamic why don't you go and educate yourself about what it is all about? Perhaps, you may even come out with a stronger argument to support your case.

ifeci: the okojie guy is a Malu!

Nah, he's a MAULAG!

davidylan: Isnt it amazing how these cowards suddenly get brave when they are on the christian boards? Logicboy would never dare say anything close to this in the muslim section... he would have been summarily banned and in fear for his life.
We thank God however for His mercy and longsuffering... it is well.

Can't david make a point without mentioning islam or muslims? :-/

Aghahowa's equalizer against Senegal in 2002. Whoa!

At least better than getting married to a dog

There's hope of course. In addition to specifying ur class of degree (2:2), I'd also write down the CGPA (3.49) on my CV. It could make a recruiter look more favourably at your application. Demonstrable skills and a good record of achievement should be your priority in any case. Cheers.

So why the story in the first place? Who's trying to pull the honourable minister down? What was the initial motive for this story :-/

Riba_man: <b>Again</b>, I disagree with your position.

When was the *other* time we disagreed.

Riba_man: Are you going to compare the extent of damage that has been done to Nigeria by the menfolk, to what little mistakes some women have made. Another proof of why my position may not be as hopeless as you think, is the role women have played in the background, not in the foreground, of everyday Nigerian life.

Little mistakes eh? :s The question to ask is: Would women have steered this country better if they were the ones in government since 1960? Through the civil war, maitatsine crisis, the oil windfall - will they have done better?

Men and women don't act in isolation of one another. The women are just as corrupt as the men. I wonder what gives you the impression that women intrinsically make better leaders than men? The point I'm trying to make is we should elect capable representatives - men or women - to lead us. To vote a candidate simply because that candidate is female would be silly to say the least. :/

Riba_man: I disagree with you, in fact very vehemently! Lets do the maths, juxtapose the number of the allegedly corrupt women with deluge/hordes of blokes who have helped themselves, quiet liberally as well, to the contents of the till. Then come back and tell me the Jazz you are proposing.
Ken Saro-Wiwa was a movement, an ideology. Our country men and women are not yet ready to buy into the demands and, ultimately, the rewards that come from following an ideology through. The problem of leadership in Nigeria, to be honest, goes beyond tribe. We must turn to an idealogical search to bring Nigeria back from the precipice.
And, I do not give a shishi or quarter if it will take a woman pickin to rescue us!

Well, women only recently started featuring in government - so we should be comparing percentages not absolute numbers. From what I've seen of female office holders,it's the same deal as what we've been getting from the men folk. Nigerian women have proven equally adept at corruption as their male counterpart. And when they're wives or girlfriends they've often been accessories to their husbands'/boyfriend's escapades. For example refer to the James Ibori story..

Eclipse and GNU g++ for me.

This question is a bit silly really and is just a convoluted way of the OP saying, "I cheat". We could also churn out similar rubbish like "All men beat their wives", "All Nigerians are corrupt" or "All brazilians like football".

Let's just rename it to Biafra

Continuity?

Just plot it on a graph. The values for x are where the curve crosses the x-axis

At the end of the day INEC will announce that GEJ has secured 80% of the votes in Nasarawa
That's why we have problems in the country

"Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" 

Lets give all of them a chance

Beaf:
Dude, your logic is twisted.
I do not care if Buhari's religion is Christianity, Islam or anything else. The simple fact is that he has no right to force it on those who do not share his belief, or do you not think Buhari's stance alienates people like me who are the vast majority of Nigerians? Anyone who wishes to be president must be tolerant, it is that simple.
Forget about any campaign and face reality.

He certainly has no right to enforce it on people who do not share his beliefs - that, I agree with you.

And unless he sends soldiers to the House of Assembly I don't see how in the world that is possible.

It'll be naive and stupid of him to consider such an action. He'll be kicked out in no time.

If the lecture was in Hausa, it's quite possible his meaning was altered in translation.

If he was such a bigot why didn't he consider such action when he was a military head of state?

You are free to vote for GEJ and I believe you're convinced he's the best for the country. It's very unlikely that the people who
want to vote for Buhari will be influenced by this 2001 article that you posted.

To each his own.

My prayer is that the elections are peaceful and the wishes of the masses are respected.

And marrying as a virgin doesnt guarantee you happiness in marriage.

That's right. Just as "test-running" before marriage doesn't guarantee a happy marriage as well.

The post is sentimental, and in many instances unrealistic. . .

                WILL I EVER MARRY?

As a yam, you don't need a wife anyway. . .

Ujujoan:
Okay whatever . . . I just dont know how to babysit you guys!     

It's all well 

jedisco:
@op
if u notice no man on this forum has told u to keep the maid.
Forget all these women talking rubbish they dont know how a mans mind works.
Your control is perfectly ok its just that you are saying the truth
Its better you avoid tempting situations cos u dont know how u will react cos. when it comes to sex dont trust yourself.
To those quoting the bible
It says resist the devil and he will FLEE but it also says FLEE youthful lusts. My brother dont stand and resist cos many strong men of God have fallen victims. Just look for a reason and tell your wife so you dont sound autocratic

Ujujoan:
@ Ibrahim

So you want us to pat him on the back and praise his taste in women

I didn't say that - what I said is that he shouldn't be criticised. That's all. The OP should be advised to work on himself but we shouldn't descend to mocking him.

I'm not particularly critisizing him, but hey don't expect me to give him an award either.

Don't take it too personal. I refrained from quoting anyone in particular in my post.

I'm sorry but I can't help but show a little dis taste for that!

Yeah, it sounds distasteful. I agree with that. But much more distasteful than that, is if he ends up cheating on his wife with his own house-help.

I'm disappointed with some of the comments here. Here is a honest man seeking advice and all he gets is criticism.

There are many men that would gladly welcome a maid they're attracted to for their own selfish reasons. This man has not done that. True, we should all learn to control ourselves, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try and control our "circumstances". And I don't know why people should be bringing up the issue of the workplace here.

My advice is that you should give your wife a hint. Tell her you want an older woman for a maid. Let her interview some others. Say things like "she's too attractive/polished to be a maid" - if that makes any sense.

If she still won't get it, let her know your mind. This could be tricky though, and you have to be very tactful in how you put your message across.

Good luck

REALITY101:
Yes and No. Yes willingly if shes not the greedy type. Hell no if a girl like one of my ex.

You may also want to add "if she's not the talkative type" to your list. Before you know it, all her friends and relatives know how much oga makes in a month

I would strongly advise against going to see the girl's parents as some people have been suggesting. Very nasty things might happen. The only thing you can do is to ask the girl to let her parents know about you and why she thinks you're the right person for her.

If they still won't budge, move on with your life. No one wants a family drama.
