Lovelink1991: A man who married a hot-tempered woman has reportedly experienced a shocking situation after coming home late.
What was supposed to be an ordinary return home turned into an unexpected drama when his wife reacted to his lateness.
The incident has sparked conversations about marriage, anger, trust, and how couples should handle disagreements in their homes.
Marriage requires patience, understanding, and effective communication. But what happens when one partner has a very short temper and reacts unexpectedly?
Was the wife's reaction justified, or should she have handled the situation differently? Share your opinion in the comment section.
Are you God? Tinubu shouldn't use that analogy. It was God that promised the Israelites a promised land, even in the wilderness, manna fell from heaven.

Why nott Okowa...this death should have taken Okowa....somebody that refused to pay our scholarship l, that claimed there was no money.. But we later found out that he embezzled about 2 trillion naira.l of delta state money.
This is the benefit of saying no to bride and declaring a false result.
Imagine if that woman didn't stand on her ground to resist the riggers....what would have become of Abia state?
Let's stand up and say no to election riggers and saying no to an inec that would want to take bride and declare the result of an election at 3am..not even during working hours, as a civil servant.
Its a lie....it was a true report...I'm sure the vanguard was called by FG change the news...make una allow Tinubu win 2027 first....fuel go enter 2500naira
You guys are relying on Tinubu's promise. Funny, somebody that didn't put any concrete infrastructure on ground for it to work...you think promise would automatically reduce fuel price or transport fares.
Newsgeek24: A commercial transport operator, Uche Daniel, attributed the difficulty in reducing fares to the high cost of spare parts and poor roads.
He also cited the closure of the First Niger Bridge, saying motorists were being forced to use longer and poorly maintained alternative routes.
Delta and Imo
In Delta State, transport operators said fares had not been reduced.
Checks at the Commissioner for Transport’s lodge in Asaba reportedly found only five CNG-branded buses parked there.
Chairman of the NURTW Summit Motor Park, Asaba, Emeka Okoro, said the union had not received CNG buses.
“They have not given us any buses, and we have not reduced transport fare. We cannot reduce transport fare when the cost of buying fuel is still high,” he said.
A similar situation was reported in Imo State, where commercial transporters said they had not received Federal Government CNG buses.
A driver said passengers were paying about N4,500 from Owerri to Akokwa and as much as N9,000 from Owerri to Awka.
“The CNG bus is not in Imo, and we have not seen anyone,” he said, urging the Federal Government to focus on reducing the pump price of petrol.
Another operator said the dominance of privately owned buses in the state also needed to be considered in the implementation of the programme.
Sokoto, Kebbi and Jigawa
Transport fares also remained unchanged in Sokoto and Kebbi states.
At the Central Motor Park in Sokoto, passengers travelling to Kebbi continued to pay between N5,000 and N6,000, while journeys to Kano and Kaduna cost about N20,000 on commercial vehicles.
In Kebbi, the fare to Sokoto remained around N5,000 on commercial buses, although state-owned vehicles charged about N3,500 on the same route.
In Jigawa State, commuters in Dutse also reported no reduction in fares.
A passenger travelling to Kano, Isa Hamisu, said he paid N3,500 on October 1, the same amount he had paid the previous week.
“I don’t know which one is a CNG bus,” he said.
Another commuter, Abba Garba, said the fare from Dutse to Hadejia remained N5,000.
However, Jigawa State Chairman of the National Association of Road Transport Owners, Bello Usman Dunaro, said about 100 vehicles belonging to the union had been converted to CNG under the government initiative.
He said the objective was to reduce fares but added that the process was still ongoing.
Gombe and Edo
In Gombe State, commuters reported that fares had also remained unchanged on routes operated by both private companies and the state transport service.
A passenger, Naomi Sambo, said she expected the Federal Government’s intervention to translate into cheaper fares.
“Transportation to Abuja is still as it has been. I came to pick a bus expecting to see changes. What they said is in the papers,” she said.
The Managing Director of the Gombe State Transport Service, Dr Sani Sabo, said the agency was exploring ways to prevent further increases and was working towards converting some buses to CNG.
In Edo State, short-distance journeys in Benin remained between N200 and N300, while longer trips cost between N500 and N600.
Even some vehicles already converted to CNG had reportedly not reduced their fares.
A transport union official attributed the situation to the high cost of spare parts and inadequate gas infrastructure, saying some operators had to wait for hours or days to refill their vehicles.
The Edo State Government, however, announced plans to launch 50 52-seater CNG buses later in October.
Enugu and Kaduna
In Enugu State, government-owned CNG buses were already operating, but their limited routes and operating hours restricted their impact.
The government buses charge a flat fare of N300, compared with about N600 for a regular commercial bus on a route such as Emene to Old Park.
The CNG buses, however, mainly operate on major routes during morning and evening periods, leaving commuters with commercial vehicles as an alternative outside those periods.
An official of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria said the union had not received information about the lower fares promised under the Federal Government initiative.
Kaduna, on the other hand, has recorded wider use of CNG-powered buses.
The state government operates a free CNG-powered mass transit scheme on selected routes. It has deployed 100 buses across eight routes and about 200 bus stops.
The state government said the buses carried approximately 3.2 million passengers during their first year of operation, saving commuters more than N3.5bn in transport costs.
However, commercial fares outside the CNG network remain higher, meaning commuters who cannot access the designated routes continue to pay conventional fares.
Plateau and Ondo
In Plateau State, transport fares in Jos remained largely unchanged despite the October 1 target.
CNG buses were not yet operating in the state, while government-owned metro buses charged N200.
A resident, Moses Gyang, said he paid N1,000 from Bukuru to Terminus, the same fare he paid before October 1.
The state Commissioner for Transport, Davou Jatau, said Plateau had already been subsidising transportation, with government-supported buses carrying about 13,000 commuters daily for N200.
He said the state was also working with the National Institute of Transport Technology in Zaria to establish a CNG and hybrid vehicle conversion centre in Jos.
According to him, the absence of a refuelling station remained one of the challenges to the state’s CNG rollout.
In Ondo State, commercial transport fares also remained unchanged, with no CNG buses reportedly operating across the state.
The state government said it was working on CNG conversion centres and additional gas outlets.
Osun, Oyo and Ogun
In Osun State, intra-city and interstate fares remained unchanged.
The state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, said Osun was still awaiting CNG buses promised by the Federal Government.
He also cited the state’s financial constraints as a limitation on its ability to immediately introduce subsidised transportation.
In Oyo State, fares on major routes in Ibadan also remained at levels introduced following previous increases in petrol prices.
For instance, the fare from Ojoo to Mokola remained around N600, while Ojoo to Iwo Road cost between N400 and N500.
A trader, Bisi Ogunade, said commuters were yet to experience any reduction.
“President Bola Tinubu said October 1, and today is that day. Let’s wait and see from this weekend whether the president was lying or not. But today, I boarded it at the same price,” she said.
Ogun State similarly recorded no immediate reduction.
A journey from Kuto to Ijebu Ode remained around N3,500, while Kuto to Ita Oshin cost between N600 and N700. The fare from Kuto to Sagamu was N2,000 or more.
A commercial driver attributed the situation to high fuel prices, maintenance costs and other operating expenses.
The state government, however, said it would announce additional measures to respond to the Federal Government’s directive.
Mixed picture across the country
The findings indicate that the implementation of the CNG transportation initiative varies significantly from state to state.
While states such as Kaduna have established relatively extensive subsidised or free CNG transport networks, other states are still awaiting buses, conversion facilities or refuelling infrastructure.
The Federal Government maintains that October 1 marked the beginning of a nationwide monitoring process rather than a requirement for all states to introduce fare reductions simultaneously.
For millions of commuters who continue to rely on commercial transport, however, the immediate impact remains limited, with fares on several major routes largely unchanged despite the government’s target of reducing transportation costs through cheaper alternative fuels.

franchasng: In economics and trade, we have what is called the supply chain management and model. This ensures healthy trading and balanced economy.
Who makes up the supply chain?
1.) Manufacturer
2.) Distributor(s)
3.) Wholesalers
4.) Retailers
5.) Consumers
The manufacturer sources for raw materials and converts it into finished goods that consumers need.
Distributors help manufacturers to distribute their finished products to the market through wholesalers.
Wholesalers help distributors to reach the market through retail traders.
Retail traders help the wholesalers to sell faster and conveniently to the final consumers. This is how trading supply chain is designed to function to ensure a balanced economy and society.
In order words, you cannot be the manufacturer and still be the retailers selling directly to final consumers, that is a trading deficiency or abnormality that starves off other vital people on the supply chain and can lead to collapse of the economy of a society, that is why it is not encouraged by any working society and the only person that can stop or correct this mistake is the government through adequate trade laws and market policies to ensure balanced and healthy economy of its society.
So if we are to be real and honest to ourselves, citizens of countries that manufacture and produce what another country consumes like the Chinese, are not supposed to be allowed to operate retail trading shops in the countries they export their finished products to, it's a simple economics designed to keep national and global economy and trade balanced.
That is why in our secondary school economics, we were taught about supply chain, which flows from the manufacturer to the distributors to the wholesalers to the retailers to the consumers. These are all vital people on the supply chain that must not be discarded or allowed to be starved off through unhealthy trading activities.
You cannot be the manufacturer and still be the retailer, that is a trading policy abuse, it will squeeze out the other vital people on the supply chain and cause a skewed economy that will affect the society by making one person super rich and the rest extremely poor and dependent but our people are seeing this only from the tribal angle without seeing the bigger issue.
These are the investors Tinubu spend our common wealth to bring to Nigeria right??
When they said igbo to go into politics, they will be doing overtaking is allowed in the market and even in politics too....
