Politics / Terrorism: Buhari Supporters Are Hypocrites, Wicked And Fools by ifiokjohn(m): 7:48am On Apr 04, 2022
This morning I was just thinking about all the students that have been kidnapped, killed under Buhari with his supporters finding an excuse for him.

Under buhari more than 5 schools have been attacked with students kidnapped and some killed but Buharists would want us to believe it is the fault of the Governor's.

I remembered doing the time of Gej, when Chibok school girls were kidnapped, Buharists were everywhere protesting causing anarchy with the #BringbackOurGirls.
But today those ones have lost their voices. They can no longer protest. Infact some of them are dead.
That period they blamed Jonathan for everything. They forgot the state had a Governor but today when you talk about insecurity they will say what is your Governors doing. That the governor is the chief security officer of the state.


People like the Vulturegriller
Ngpatriot, Helinues, Golan, etc
Those are wicked souls. Devilish people.

May it never in this life be well with them if they don't go protesting against buhari.

Failures they are. Tufiakwa. Alu

ha ha ha ha ha ha see this one writing pure garbage
i dont believe in jesus just like kanu
he stated the truth but of course black brains wont understand him will you?
lunatic everywhere
who is jesus?
is there J in Hebrew language which the original bible was written with?
how come those that brought Christianity to us used force? turned us to slaves and currently wed gay people in the church in the name of jesus?
until we dump white man Christianity and worship YHWH in the name of YESHUA just like we did in the olden days, until we start observing Saturday Sabbath and not sunday worship, we are not worshiping the true God but the fraud taught us via force by the white bastards who looted Africa dry
nonsense
my goodness me
mumu. No be. God make every day of the week?

Every day of the week from Sunday to Saturday should be a day of worship to God.

Get sense you no go get sense.

Secondly your sense no tell you say Yashua na Jesus name in Hebrew?
Let me make you understand.
If you translate Yashua to Greek it's becomes Joshua and when you translate that to English it becomes Jesus/ Ie sous

For eg, my name in efik is Ifiok but when translated into English it becomes WISDOM.. does it mean if you call me Wisdom then you're wrong?

You're more very full I swear.

So by the way what diff is your supposed wanted religion from Christianity when you will still be going to God through Yashua?


You say they should worship YHWH through Yashua, abeg no be still same thing Christians dey do? Worshipping God through Christ?

You're lucky that most people don't know their rights in nigeria. In some countries you have no right to just throw your wife out of the house unless by court order and if she must go , if you have children she will be likely to be given the house so she can live there with the kids . You would also be required to pay for the kids upkeep and pay her enough money to live at the same standard as when she was married to you. .Similar laws apply in nigeria but most people don't know . Ive seen a case where a man took his wife to court and told the court that he wanted her out so he could be with his girlfriend . That was his biggest mistake . The court ordered him not to go less than 100 metres from the house and to continue to pay the rent for the wife and their 2 kids. He wasn't even allowed to go back to the house to take his clothes . He ended up with whatever the wife chose to give him. This happened in Lagos .
na the man gree pay na. Me I go just up and leave that state entirely. If I can move with my business. If not I cut contacts and go. Pay cor pay no for house where e no dey sleep for.

Jonah was saved alive from the belly of the fish and he never needs to resurrect.
So then according to you, what did Jesus mean by being in the belly of the 'Earth' for 3 days?

Was he gonna be buried alife?
Because as we were know being in the belly of the earth means you are under the earth and when someone is under the earth it's mean the person have been buried.

All the people that. I know dont even stay at anyones home due to safety concerns. No one. And again he could have built but dont liento me whole you are actually doing it and 2. Denying me relief from house responsibilities. I am not workingnso your family can enjoy the best of everything. They had a comfortablehome. There are no other siblings. Again no one is saying dont built hut its the betrayal and everyone except me knowing. That meansyou could do anything behind my back. I dont know what to expect. One thing i have never done is do something for anyone and my husband not know. But i really havent had to do for anyone. You see your wife sweating working and you are building mansion. You see me carrying ny kids in run down car but you send car tonnigeria that could be sold to buy me a new one or pay down debt.no its unforgiveable. He prioritizes his parents. I would even ask he pit just 10.00 in his kids acct and he would get so angry...but never faults in sending monthly to his parents.
So you can send money to your parents monthly but you can't out even 10.00 in each kids acct every month?? Why don't they get that same dedication?? I stopped asking.

now that there is the problem you guys needs to talk about.
Talk to him about how you need help with all that and how he needs to start helping out
Give him the chance too and if he fails pls divorce his ass. But if he's ready to contribute and communicate then pls by all means give him another chance

[Its not for me. Its for him and his parents.
My name isnt on it. 60k just to maybe go once a year for a week? That wasnt not an emergent thing to do. People stay in hotels to visit and go home. One of my best friends was like no when she and her hubby goes with their kids they stay in a secured hotel. Everyone i know does that. Later it will be another suprise in years time. Then i will be a fool. Again. I would never leave my kids and reture there or anything. I know that now he would love to and that is never for me
For what to party ? To exploit the poor? No im gonna be where my kids are which is the usa. I dont like being lied to i cant take it. To my face every one knew. His family even some friends knew and not me. Meanwhile i am helping you by working so hard so everything osnt on your back. Inregret i didnt say no to his proposal he could have married someone from there who will tolerate anything and not have theie life ruined. I ruined my life and im hurt for it. uote author=ifiokjohn post=111416150]nope. He didn't cheat on you with someone else's. He just built his own house.

You don't expect him when he come visitinf every year he will go to his parents 3, bedroom and stay with you and 4kids plus his other sibling(s). So that Mansion is for him, you and the kids...even if they won't come here to live but definitely they'll come for holiday to see where they come from. To know their culture and people. You don't expect them to come n stay in their grandparents house.
It's disgraceful.

I'm not justifying him not telling you but I'm saying just try to look at things from his point of view too.

Now is the time toe stand strong as a family.
maybe the timing was wrong. But that house needed to be built. Not everyone loves staying in an hotel

Imagine you guys are 6 you Lough in an other for a week anytime u come home. Calculate that for 20 years at least and then you'll see it enough or more than that 60k.

The timing might be wrong but building that house is really right. The peace of mind it's brings is everything.


I'm angry he didn't tell you... Marriage should be about communication. He needed to have told his wife but him building that house.. you have to try to understand no one wants to come home every year end and stays in someone else's house( even if it's theit parents house).

A 3 bedroom flat is to small to contain the whole family ...

So sister, pls I beg you. Give your marriage a second chance.

You might not want to live in Nigeria doesn't mean your children wouldn't come to visit once awhile. Imagine them coming to visit and the house is filled up with the children of their father's sister/brother.
Where will they stay? An hotel?.. isn't it safer more in their father's house than an hotel.

The house doesn't have to be in your name before being yours or your children.
Since you both are married.. two have become one meaning what belongs to him belongs to you and vice versa.


Forgive him, forget it and forge ahead.

Christianity is false, that is my point. There was never any need for Jesus in the old testament.

Christianity originated in Egypt...it started as the worship of Serapis..

Read my thread..
You don't have sense. Jesus disciples were called Christians while preaching. Christianity means followers of Christ.


Ok since you said Christianity began in Egypt. Pray tell, how did it came about?

And you are the type that research without sense. Mtcheeeew.

And about your loan, you and your husband can talk and have a payment plan on how to pay off the loan. You just have to communicate.


It is right you told your parents this... I hope they can also mediate between you both positively.

#DivorceIsNot an option.





You know one thing i live by is what isngood for the goose is good for the gander. Im sure if i was a woman that did this the advice would be different. For this man to literally lie to my face while it's ongoing is something that I s unforgiveable. Its like judas to jesus except b i am human. If he can do that to me knowing all i have donenin this home and for him. He can do anything to fulfill a desirenhe wants damned how i feel. Hard work i have sacrificied for. What i see on this board is similar to in haiti. If a man builds on his famiky land a woman cant inherit or sell it and get the money in case anything happens. That is money gone to his family. Later hisbextended family could take over. Its a sunken cost. We owe over 50k to the IRS. They could literally take our home in the usa if we dkntbpay that off soon and it accrues interest. I helped him get a car and helped him pay it with my credit. It is in nigeria right now being enjoyed. Ye declined to sell it to relieve some household debt. All the work I have done over the years all my money has went into our home. His to others pockets first building another home first. Everyone knew except me that's embarrassing. I would be working 2 jobs and still he couldn't cook the kids food cos that's a woman's job. I am not Tolerating anything. I am doing damage control at this point. He priorities his famiky before me and my kids future. That's painful. I could have remained single and now I have 4 kids to raise. He could in 25nyears say he is going back to Nigeria since all of a sudden he loves his country. If he was this foretelling I would have never married him. But he got what he wanted. I rather cut my losses now.im still young. I don't have time to be worried my husband will eventually go back and to do what It hurts to know that I could've not worked and helped him at all but that was used against me.

I told my parents this morning they were suprised and angry especially my father. That he didn't like I have been working 1 to up to 3 jobs at a time and had to be financial issue and why would he be building a house with me having to work so hard. My husband told me he won't be told he can't take care of his parents. So...
quote author=ifiokjohn post=111406359] I know it's hard for trust to be rebuild but if both of you work towards it...it's can work.
Have seen a woman forgive her husband who cheated on her and broke her trust. But in the long run, she chooses to work on her marriage, forgive her husband and today they're very happy. That trust has been rebuilt.

Your husband has a fault. He cheated on you by not telling you he was building a house. You're his partner in everything and he cheated by lying. Buts it's been two years( I guess he has apologize) now is the time to let it all go. Build a happy home again. You can if you both work on it.
Ask him if he's willing to help in building that home. Let him promise openness this time around..taking you in all his plans weather present or future. .and that you will put as much work on it as he will. NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS. let him know you doing this for your children and for the Love you had/have for him and cause you believe children grow better in a stable home.

Let him know you want to be in all major decision making.. from the money he is sending home to his parents or cousins...if you want him to stop sending money to his cousins except on dire situation then you can agree for him to send.

Marriage is all about understanding, communication, Tolerance and Trust.
I put tolerance there cause your partner will push you to your limit but your ability to Tolerate, smile and push forward helps keeps your marriage. It's both ways by the way.

Then Trust, yes marriage can not exist without trust but even trust can be built after it has been shattered. Though it will take awhile but you both are willing to work on it and from now on be straightforward with each other you can save this marriage and build a better future for yourself(Unity)

Advice him on business plans like the Real Estate and how you guys can setup in the USA.
It's possible. Make him understand it.
You guys can build a more secured future for your family.
I believe in you Guys.
I believe in marriage
I believe in tolerance
I believe in Trust
I believe in understanding

A marriage can work with all this even without much love.. but where there's love and not all this...it's a recipe for disaster.

My fellow African sister, build your marriage again, your trust, your tolerance, your communication and your understanding again for the sake of your kids and the love you once had/have for him.

I am not a Muslim, neither a Christian..

You have to realize it is just a story. They are not eye witness accounts. The things the authors said happened those living at that time did not experience those thing. No historian wrote about them. Like the tomb being opened and dead bodies coming out or darkness covering the entire earth...
For one, baptism is not a Jewish ritual , it is a Mithrasic practice.
Carefully reading the old testament, will show you that there is no where it says God had a son he was sending as a sin sacrifice, those are pagan ideas. Christianity as a religion is not an offshot of the Jewish religion. That's why there is a tonne of conflict between the old testament and new testament...

They are different religion and Judaism came first....
who said Christianity was an offshore of Jewish religion?. You don't even know how Christianity came about and here you're thinking you're the best historian after slice bread.

Just because somethings weren't recorded didn't mean it didn't happen.
The Bible told us of the Nebuchadnezzar story and history recorded it to have happen.
It's told us who was first world power and even how world powers like Persia, Babylon etc lost their status. It told us many many things.
I guess you wouldn't know that shall.

The Bible is the life, experiences of many people including prophets,Kings. Ordinary people. How they were used by God. People like Tobit etc. People like Esther Ruth etc. These were ordinary people who by their Faith and loyalty to GOD and others Conquered. People like Joseph.

By the way, if the Bible is false... So is the Quran .... cause many of the Bible stories(which according to you is false) is written in the Quran.

Also educate me about JOHN10:17-18... When Jesus said... "Therefore doth my Father loves me.... BECAUSE I LAY DOWN MY LIFE..That inmay take it again. This commandment have I received from my Father".

Meaning it is God that asked him to die... Or can you educate me what Christ meant?

I am holding him accountable and he should have thougjt of his kids when i was working like a dog for 2 years while all these money transfers occurred. I am not gonna think of the kids cos he didnt. He didnt even think of their savings, or my welbeing 7nder all that stress cos all he could think of is a building. Maybe he thought i was a suffering head but no. We are divorcing on my owk initiative and he can think about what he did and enjoy his home there it isnt in my name and it doesnt benefit me or my kids.my swear built that. If yournwife did that to you whole you suffer and hid it am sure that would call for a family meeting.

No he can go. I am not gonna suffer being treated like a workaholic for others to gain. No I deserve more

I'm not supporting him. What he did is wrong but I'm saying...let it go. Forgive and forget. Divorce affect kids negatively. Your kids don't need that.
Call a family meeting with him . Talk to him

yes you're right. But what has been done is done. Don't let it weigh you down. Stand by your husband and grow with him he has bleeped up but now is the time to heal, grow, live and Excel.
Don't destroy your family cause of this fault of his. Let him apologise, hear him out and advice him.

Have always pray to marry someone that can advice me well financially so I can make sound financial decisions to grow me.
Now is the time for you to be that woman for your man.
That house is also urs and your children.

When the time for retirement reach, your kids would have all been grown and even ready to start their own family... Then you can choose to either move with your husband or stay in the US.

Don't let this 'Financial abuse' destroy your family.
For your children sake.... KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE!!!

Real estate is not booming there like it is here and you auto lose money as the naira is worth so much less. That is by the way though. You dont invest in debt and why would i give money into something and i have debrlt and my kids need savings? Doesnt make sense. You pay down things first. You he honest first! Also, i would not invest in anything if both are names are not on it its not my country and if something happens that estate his family would just take over . I dont trust it. Seen too many women who their husband died ajd the family takes everything. He should invest when it doesn't mean his wife is working to support it and kids don't have.

Yes Real Estates here is not comparable to the US.. nevertheless it'd easier here. For eg with that 60k you can have few units of houses as yours down here in Nigeria but in US ...that's impossible. You have to fight for your marriage Ma'am. I don't know you but I feel if you do, in the long run you be better better for it.
This is the time to make those naysayers eat their words.
He has made a mistake. We all do. Now is the time to forgive and forget and work on ur marriage. Marriage aren't a bed of rose.
Your kids needs him as much as they need you.
So please, give this a second chance.

Nigerians are good people. You guys can take the good or positive from this. Think about investments. Invest in Nigeria especially real estates and you will gain. With 50 million you guys can build as much as 30 units of 1 bedroom flats worth 400k per year each. Then improve on it and on it. This will be another way of saving and making more money for you guys

You Americans? Little? Working from 9am to 345a for 2 years with little to show for it while he builds a home without my knowledge isnt little.
Well yes because we don't believe in suffering. Funny you never mentioned how much I have sacrificed for him and worked tirelessly for 2 years cos all that matters is him building a house. Not my kids ,not my own comfort. Not the car I helped him get that someone else is enjoying there or the irs debt he left to accrue interest while he builds a mansion. I worked 16hr days for. None of that matters just a house
that house isn't just for only him. Your kids and yourself have a right to it.

I kind of wish he invested more in a real estate. The Nigeria real estate industry is Rich. He could have gotten a land and built units of 1-3 bedrooms like 10-15... Since he is an Igbo man, house in the east is costly. . 400k can go for each unit when you times say 10 units by 400k per year that's really cool money. With that he can improve improve.

Nigeria might be hostile but a real estate in Nigeria is like ritual money.
This money could help you guys save moree and even him to build that house for his parents. Nevertheless, the house is not a bad investment.
Just not telling you is the problem and that's what I blame him for.

But pls take it from me, Divorcing him will impact negativily on your kids.
Can you pulse with the divorce and work on ur marriage at least for the an extra 2 years before finally taking a decision?, While on that, do free up your heart and forgive him ok?

Well apart of that is deception. He did not state he ever wanted to go back or leave to retire there. it was after the marriage he only mentioned building after some years. He carries responsibility to be honest so I can have the option to say no from the beginning
Honestly he should have been more transparent from the beginning I would.have told him to go and marry a Nigerian
I wouldn't ever retire in a 3rd world country and especially with a child with special needs I can't take them there with all the services in the USA. He should keep that mind set what about the child that has higher needs it isn't all about him. It's deceptive to not be forthcoming about these things in the beginning. Ot isn't fair to me or my kids that I work so hard and while he squeezes that amount of money elsewhere. His parents had a comfortable home. I could even see 20 to 30k etc but 60k come on. While I'm working 16 hour days? Come on.

Maybe I should just go ahead with the initiative of divorce as in 20 years I won't be surprised if he says that. I really don't do good with lack of trust cos I am transparent. Marriage can't be just for one person's benefit. I am putting my kids as a priority a country isn't a priority
Please don't Divorce him.
You Americans any little issues is divorce. And to think you have an African Origin. Come on, you guys can work this out.
In every marriage the couple's have issues. Divorce shouldn't be an option. This is a case of miscommunication. The man was at fault. Although I still agree that he building the house is a good thing.
America is a beautiful country with every services available but Christ knows I won't want to retire there if I were to be him.

But now is not a time for divorce. Now Is the time to work n fight for your marriage.
Learn to forgive. Let it go. It been two years already.

I believe divorce should only an option when it involves adultery and physical abuse.


Please aunty, forgive him. Divorcing him will only serve to play a negative role in the life of your children especially the one with the special needs. He need his Father now more than anything. He need you both United for his sake.

What will you do if you win, it seems most mumugerians can't comprehend simple English. He said super chickens can never beat Ghana in their backyard. He never said super chickens can't qualify to the world cup. You won't qualify anyways because these donkeys you call players will not hit even one target in Lagos. It will be Tunisia all over again
Thank God you got the venue wrong. Meaning we go win. Do your worst after we win. And I'm sure e go pass 3 goals.
