If not because America is restraining Israel because of the US upcoming election, Israel would have inflicted maximum damage on Iran nuclear and military facilities. The attack on Hamas was to draw out Iran into a full war. Iran read Israel's intention and stayed out of the Hamas war. That is why Israel deliberately provoked them by bombing the Iran embassy in Syria.

The politics in the middle belt is more complex. Why Saudia Arabia and Jordan is supporting US and Israel against Iran? This is a question for those on Nairaland who thinks this war is all about religion.

Commendable!

Things have gotten so bad security wise that a prominent APC governor from the North is now suggesting that Nigeria approach Chad for military assistance! While the likes of Segun Adesina and numerous Zombies on Nairaland are busy calling us Wailers, the real fact is that the people of the North-East who massively voted for PMB are wailing and gnashing their teeth under the heavy load of insurgent attacks.

Our soldiers are gallant and patriotic. All they need is improved logistic supports and proactive leadership. The pertinent question is-Why is Buhari still retaining the Service Chiefs ?

The Most Important Thing is Love and Fear Of God.

I got married to my beautiful and loving wife fourteen years ago. We courted for four years before marriage and me strictly observed no sex before marriage. We both came from a background that discouraged premarital sex and we were cool with that. While we were dating, I observed that she was always having severe menstrual cramps and pain for 2-4 days every month but we never took it as something serious.

On our wedding night, I knew something was wrong as she was in severe pain during sex. I knew she was not a virgin before marriage because she told me about an unfortunate incident that happened to her when she was very young. It was quite obvious to me that she doesn't enjoy sex because of pain and the fact that her parent circumcised her. (How I hates her parents for this).

I love my wife dearly, and the thought of being unfaithful to her never crossed my mind. Over the years, God has been giving me the inner strength to show great understanding to her emotional needs and improvise for our sexual life. I know that on her part, she is making constant sacrifices to endure the pains just to please me. There are periods she becomes paranoid that I will leave her. Her reactions is understandable as we have been TTC for 13 years. We have been to several hospitals and have spent so much money on medical procedures and IVFs. Initially she was diagnosed of fibroid and she had two hysteroscopy to remove the fibroid. We tried another IVF after the surgery to no avail.

Her menstrual and ovulation pains got progressively worst and she developed the accumulation of bloody fluids in her tummy. She was initially misdiagnosed by two high profile hospitals of liver cancer and ectopic pregnancy respectively. These were very difficult period for us. But thankfully she was eventually diagnosed of severe endometriosis and she commenced treatment immediately. It took thirteen years for doctors to diagnosed what was wrong with my wife-ENDOMETRIOSIS.

Most doctors often overlook endometriosis as the leading cause of infertility in women. The pains of endometriosis is indescribable and very few people also understand that husbands whose wives suffers from this ailment do suffer emotional pains and stress.

With hormonal treatment, her pain is now manageable. We are still hopefully TTC. My parents and siblings have been very supportive. They know I love my wife dearly and they respect our privacy and decisions.

This is our story.

I narrate this story to encourage all those who are TTC not to give up in showing love to their spouses and to have the fear of God. I prayerfully and earnestly look forward to the day my wife will carry our baby in her arms with a smile in her eyes.

Very soon it will dawn on politicians who are mostly in their fifties that Coronavirus does not distinguished between the poor and the rich. The old men in ASO rock are even more vulnerable.

The Supreme Court boxed itself into a tight corner. That is why they are even ashamed of penalizing the PDP lawyers as they did for that of Bayelsa. They knew they grossly goofed in the judgement they passed in Imo and they tactfully wriggled themselves out of the mess by claiming that the judgement of the supreme court is final.

What a shame! The harm has been done and Nigeria will surely face some challenges in the international market and politics.

The problem with Nigerians is that we are always quick to attack the messenger with thinking about the substance of his message. In an epidemic,the best practice is to provide some details about the victims so that people that have contacts with them will turn themselves in for further evaluations. The identities of victims of coronavirus in other countries are being revealed. Even Iran revealed to the public that a serving minister contracted the virus.

What is wrong with Nigeria and Nigerians? Must everything be interpreted from political viewpoint? I am sure if Festus Keyamo or Elrufai tweeted the same thing that FFK tweeted, some of those condemning FFK will keeps mute. Our youths are losing it. I feared for the next generation!

You call your ignorance new ideas?

Pls don't ever quote me again, I'm afraid your ignorance maybe contagious.

What truthfulparrot wrote is a beautiful satire. It is rather sad that our education system is now so deficient. Our youths no longer read to comprehend neither are they ready to take correction. This is very sad.

Truthfulparrot wrote this almost a year ago and it is very much relevant today!

The media team of PMB led by Garba shehu is either grossly incompetent or they are moles deliberately sabotaging PMB. I am not fan of PMB but his aides are not competent and lack soundness of mind and depth required to manage the public and international image of the president.

This is what you get when the cabal has hijack the presidency and they are passing conflicting messages to sycophantic aides who are ready to sacrifice their professional calling at the altar of political expediency. How do you explain the fact that Garba Shehu rushed to issue statement that DSS did not attempt to arrest Sowore inside the court. If the president's media team must lie, at least we expect it to be intelligent lies.

A proactive media team would have issue a statement condemning the incident and also indicates that the presidency will investigate the incident and bring perpetrators to book. That would have save the president a lot of embarrassment.

Obviously, PMB lacks the basic leadership skills to preside over a complex country like Nigeria and to make matter worst, he surrounded himself with clowns called aides.

The Ebora does not come out during the day

Let them try that.........Wild Wild West of the 1960s on my mind!
With the way things are going, APC only need to make a costly mistake of messing around with Oyo state to trigger the real revolution. But I know the cabal DSS and PMB knows better than to allow such a dangerous venture.

Oshimole is treading on a very dangerous path. The Binis are very stubborn and resilience. They will do any thing possible to protect the governor who is one of their own.
Also APC governors as a matter of solidarity, will rally round Obaseki. Already Oshimole is in the bad book of the cabal and Aisha Buhari.

That is why I still have great respect for Olusegun Adeniyi. He defended Yardua with decorum and came out with his head high. It is not easy for a seasoned journalist to be the spoke person of any government.

Kathmandu:
This idiot just Lied again

It is uncultured to call someone who is old enough to be your father an idiot. Irrespective of how we feel about PMB our culture and the office of the president must be respected!

Aufbauh:
If Magu is found culpable and Buhari is courageous to allow justice take it course, then he will have been able to sent out a strong signal to Nigerians and the world at large about his anti corruption war that there is no sacred cow.

OK

What explanation! Even my five years old boy will not believe this thrash. The president media team is not competed. At times it is wise not to talk.

What an explanation! Even my five year old boys will not believe this thrash. The president media team is a disappointment. At times, it is better to keep quiet.

MrMcJay:
I don't believe President Muhammadu Buhari is ignorant of what Abba Kyari, Babachir David Lawal and Mamman Daura have been dong. I believe he is complicit as he feels he owes these men more allegiance than the Millions of Nigerians who voted him in.

PMB is making the same mistake GEJ made. He is allowing those who have no electoral value block his popularity and political prospects. These men are not contesting elections and wish to suck as much as possible from PMB before he gets kicked out. This is the same way Asari, FFK, Diezani, Okupe, Edwin Clark and co ruined GEJ's chances in future elections.

I really hope PMB is smart enough to realize which load to carry and which load to drop.

PMB needs our prayers. He seems not to be in charge. He has been caged by the hawks.

Why are the wise ones spewing out foolishness in the bid to justify MMM? I found it difficult to imagine that a lot of Nigerians are this gullible and foolish. Anyway January 14,2017 is just 23 days away!

Seun:
It certainly is. I think most of the people saying they will "provide help" in January will not keep their promises. Some are just saying it to reassure their downlines who were left holding the bag after they got help and cashed out just in time. Others are trying to support MMM so that it will last long enough for them to pull out their money. They can't accept the fact that their money is gone for good. I feel bad for them.

The problem with Nigerians is that we are too sentimental and don't face reality. I tried my best to dissuade my friends from signing up to MMM by explaining to them that MMM is not sustainable on the long run and may likely crash by December2016,
I studied Ponzi Schemes extensively even before MMM came to Nigeria and I can authoritatively state that MMM scheme in Nigeria will crash finally by first quarter of next year(If it has not crashed already). This is based on the following facts and figures:

1). MMM is not an investment. The sustainability of the scheme is based on the model that at any given time the number of people providing help will be more than the number of people getting help.

2). As at November 2016, the number of people that want to get help has exceeded the number of people providing help. The administrators of MMM tried to make more people provide help by increasing the bonus for people providing help. But due to the fact that Nigerians generally experience cash scarcity towards the end of the year and the campaign by government agencies against MMM,the number of people providing help declined further.

3) MMM Nigeria was not originally designed for the rich elites. The administrators did not envisage that Nigerians will be putting huge amount of money in the scheme at once. But trust Nigerians. Some people even borrowed huge amount of money from banks to put in MMM. While it is easy to match people that put in spare money like between N10,000 and N500,000, it is difficult to match people that put in millions of Naira.

4 ) I also suspect element of massive frauds on the part of the administrators of MMM. It is possible that the administrators opened multiple accounts in different banks and asked people to provide help into such accounts. (Especially huge amounts).

5) We cannot compare MMM in South Africa to MMM in Nigeria as the two countries operate different economic models and the spending patterns and risk appetite of Nigerians is different from that of South Africans.

Conclusions

1) I sincerely sympathised with those that may likely lose their money to MMM but I will advice them to take it in good faith and as a lesson that there is no free lunch. Financial success comes from diligent planning and hard work.

2) Nigerians should face the reality that MMM has crashed or may soon crashed.

3) Do not laugh at those that are stuck in MMM scheme. Empathised with them and be willing to assist and counsel them so that they do not harm themselves.

4) The government did not take proactive steps to prevent its citizens from falling prey to this fraudulent scheme. To be fair to the government, ough warnings against MMM was given by CBN, EFCC and SEC but government should have gone further by going after the promoters of the scheme in Nigeria at the initial stage.(China did it)

realpoacher:


You only pick on the negatives of the news but refused to pick on the positives. It shows that you are a chronic hater. What business have you with how we spend our money?... FYI many of us have made x10 of our initial investment so go Bleep yourself or you join us.

The truth is always bitter. January 15 2017 is just 23 days away.

Even if crude oil price increase to $1000 per barrel, without a good economic team, we will still be in recession. An economic team that kept doing trial and error and constant changing of fiscal and monetary policies will not take us to the promise land.

MINUTES OF MEETING FROM MMM GUIDERS MEETING OF WEDNESDAY 21-12-2016

*1* The programmers are busy working towards implementation of the new model. In this new model it won't be possible for GH to be more than ph. It won't be also possible for everyone to GH at once. Once implemented we will resume activities.

*2* Keep your down lines updated with the latest info. Keep the communication lines open.

*3* Unfreezing should happen before 14 January 2017 if implementation of the new model is completed

*4* Change of guiders button to appear anytime soon most likely this week.

*5* Soon the guiders school will be automized and will make it impossible for mentors to manipulate it.

*6* MMM is coming on board as promised and will be stronger than ever before.

*7* Encourage everyone to PH cos their mavro keeps growing

*8* You will be able to GH once the mavros are unfrozen

*9* You wont be able to get the Christmas bonus if your new PH is lower than your last GH from when it was announced i.e 7th Dec 2016.

*10* Phone number verification exist in other countries and would be implemented in Nigeria very soon

*11* We will overcome and you will see that. Thank you

The minutes of the above meetings by MMM Guiders exposed what some of us have been warning about MMM. Read the minutes carefully with open mind and you will discover the following facts:

1)The present MMM platform is not sustainable hence a new model is being designed by MMM programmer.
2)There is no assurance that MMM will be back by January 14 if the implementation of the new model is not complete. For the past six months, MMM has not been able to implement a new model successfully and a lot of South Africans are still having their money trapped in MM
3) The above minutes also reveals that mentors has been manipulating the guilder school.

4) That the possibility of MMM coming back by January 14,2017 is when a lot of people are willing to provide help between now and January 14,2017. I seriously doubt it if Nigerians will actually be willing to invest fresh funds in MMM.

The bible has already said it: My People will be silenced because of lack of knowledge.

switch47:
the simple truth is if Nigerian Mavrodians refuse to PH and panic MMM NIGERIA WILL not be able to unfreeze the mavros but i know we are not chickens here in Nigeria and we know if we Provide help like before ...... it is only logical that MMM Nigeria PH to GH ratio will balance again and MMM NIGERIA SHALL BE Back for real ..... PH, PH PH avoid panic and Nigerian story will be great

So you want other people to PH so that you can GH and run away? By January 14,2017 MMM will realize that not all Nigerians are fools!

This is good news. At least our President will stay in Nigeria for six weeks without traveling out. How I wish they can close it for one year.

People like you who are not into the system are the ones writing epistles everywhere and carrying the headache as if it's your money that got stuck there.

I understand your fears and plight. You are also correct that it is not my money that got stuck in MMM. This is because I am well informed and not gullible. I believe in working hard to reap the fruits of my labour. If I have spare N200,000, I will rather invest it in Cassava and Yam farming than MMM.
I wrote the epistle because I discovered that if a lot of Nigerians have been properly briefed about the inherent risks of MMM, they would not enter into it. It is my duty to enlighten them. Somebody close to me entered into MMM against my advice and I know what she is passing through now. Do you think I like seeing people getting duped?

Is like you people dont know that Buhari have a lot of Magu's in Duara. If you like comfirm him or not, PMB will raise another Magu

Are you sure the presidency is not also behind the non confirmation of Magu? The silence of the presidency is deafening
