Only morons fight over PDP and APC issues.

PDP is APC and APC is PDP.

But idle brains will like to believe otherwise which is why I support the current hardship. Perhaps, it could be the only cure to political stupidi.ty.

Words get around.

As soon as you get a place in Lagos, expect unannounced visitors and squatters (be it friends, relatives, extended families). 2 days stay turns to 2 weeks to 2 months to 2 years. Then you realize you have a room mate by default.

I am a 37 year old bachelor and I must confess that never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that someday I would be desperate to get married. When I was in my twenties, I used to hear of desperation amongst ladies to get married but I never clearly understood the feeling. I felt only ladies become desperate to get married; I never knew that guys also become desperate at a particular age.

Once a 35 yr old single lady in my former office was crying in the office. She refused to speak on the reason why she was crying until she eventually opened up to one of my colleagues to say that she feels like she might never get married again. Apparently she had tried all she could but no one seems to be interested in her hand in marriage. It was actually quite amusing to me because I used to think that we all have the ability to control our emotions regardless of what we are passing through.

Everything changed about me when I turned 34. One day I was on my bed in my bedroom and suddenly I felt a rush of emotions come upon me so strongly that all of a sudden I just began to realise that I was desperate to get married. I really can’t explain what happened to me that day; you need to actually experience it to know what I’m talking about. By the following year the desperate feeling became like torture and the loneliness was so depressing. I could no longer bear it when I attended weddings to see other young couples getting married. I could no longer stand it when I hear people discussing marriage or weddings around me; I would just stylishly excuse myself from their midst.

In my office they nicknamed me "the oldest bachelor". Trust me, I really don’t find that nickname funny at all. Even when people innocently ask "Hey, why are you not yet married?" or "what are u waiting for?" These are questions that I just can't take emotionally. Naija peeps could be so insensitive at times! I’ve had two ladies tell me that they cried on their 30th birthday because they never ever imagined that they’d still be single at age 30.

I must confess that when I go to church these days, I barely pay attention to what is being preached. Instead my eyes just keep roaming round the church checking out all the single ladies to see which one of them I can poach on immediately after service.

I was meant to travel to the U.S seven years ago but I decided not to because I felt my chances of marrying a Nigerian lady would be higher if I remained in Nigeria. Seven years has passed and still nothing nothing. For those of you who feel changing location, like returning back to Nigeria, would increase your chances of finding a spouse, it is not guaranteed, you had better just remained where you are. Your spouse would locate you there. Your life must continue and you shouldn’t make decisions around finding a partner.

For those of you who got married early or who are still young so you never experienced the pressure to get married, you really don’t know what matured singles are passing through. Sometimes, you find yourself thinking too much and the thoughts can really weigh you down. Matured single ladies cry a lot.

If me as a guy could be feeling like this, I can only imagine what the ladies are passing through emotionally and psychologically. I know that ladies feel the pressure much more. At least we guys don’t have our biological clocks to think about. It gets to a stage that your parents will stop disturbing you to get married, they’ll now start praying for you.

For those of you reading my post, it is my prayer that you all get married at the right time and age and particularly to the right person so that you don't have to pass through the emotions of desperation to get married.

/
If you have a good and somewhat steady source of income, ladies will congregate around you hoping to form something serious with you.
Questions: How is your finance department? Do you have a comfortable place of your own?

When these two are unfulfilled, desperation and depression set in.
You cannot be desperate when 70+ and 60+ old men are getting married to pretty ladies in their 20s in Nigeria.

Something is wrong somewhere.

He got killed for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Nigeria is a lawless society. So why make yourself a scapegoat?

Smoking weed in public places, plaiting hair, tattoos and sagging by men are easy ways boys become targets for Law Enforcement personnel in Nigeria.

Some will try to justify it by western standards. Oh well, Ghostmode is dead and no pontification can bring him back.

It pays to shut up.

She should have let her husband do the leg work instead of engaging in public gragra with EFCC.

Knowing Nigeria and her ruling elites, this story would have died a natural death if her husband placed the right phone calls.

I am not supporting corruption but that is how the system there works.

First of all, she should know that she is no longer in charge.

I'm still devastated...sequel to my last thread, https://www.nairaland.com/3339626/meet-me-mega-hilton-hotel I braced up yesterday and went ahead to meet the man yesterday.. He sat me down and went straight to the point, that if I don't lay with me i should forge about the job that he is untouchable..I was just staring at him, and as he finished talking,I just told him they"God bless you sir, you will surely be rewarded, I won't budge to your offer, but will keep on searching until God gives me my ordained job". I was almost in tears,but just struggled to hold my self and calmly walked out.. I'm still in bed till now, too weak to stand up..I leave the man to his fate , he has a score with whatever God he serves...

\
Now that you don't have the job, wouldn't it be wise to mention the company and the man so that all can ascertain how untouchable he is?

When you keep evils like this hidden, you are equally culpable in promoting evil in the society. In other words, you are promoting him by protecting his identity. You ran in here last week and was advised on how to get some evidence should the man give you unfavourable conditions.

If you cannot call him out, then keep the story and sob to yourself.

Some people are photogenic.

Photo-editing softwares are not helping matters as well.

People project how they feel about themselves which may be false.

Let me translate the woman's story into simple English:

The man evicted his family. The wife got a new boyfriend. The estranged husband got jealous and attacked the wife and her lover.

N.B: The term "friend" used loosely in the narrative means "lover"

I have no comment until the man tells his story.

This fiancee to a millionaire claimed "Domestic Violence" until this surveillance video showed otherwise:

With all due respect, please restrict your ignorant and blatant lies to yourself or any forum it would never be seen.
Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani can be accused of any bullshit you guys like but would forever be the amazon that brought advancements, security, actual developments and prosperity to Enugu state.

/
What did Chimaroke do?
He built the Ebeano tunnel (just like the crap Rochas is building in Owerri). He built the Teaching Hospital behind Polo Park. He moved ESUT to his Agbani town. He dualized Chime Avenue into an aesthetic nightmare and forced residents to repaint their houses. He built the link road connecting Independence Layout and New Haven. What else?

It is on record that Chimaroke took hooliganism, cultism and thuggery to the highest level. He armed thugs that terrorized Enugu citizens for years thinking that Enugu is his fiefdom. Residents lived in fear and terror. Whoever dare criticize that egomaniac never lived to tell his/her stories. There were random hits organized and carried out in Government House official vehicles. I heard that EFCC dealt him some major financial blows after his exit from the seat of power.

Compare all the mediocre projects he did with what Chime did in 8 years. Gov. Chime is the best thing that ever happened to Enugu state and I am speaking as an outsider. The quality of work is highly commendable. We hope Awka in Anambra will be transformed as well.

Oyibo people study Psychology for a reason.

They knew that the best way to catch slaves was to use their kind.

And slave merchants were rewarded immensely with cash, gifts and dinner at the masters' table.

Nigerians abroad are more exposed but there is no correlation between that and good leadership. Eg.

1. Nigeria organizations abroad do not fare any better than the ones in Nigeria. The same cases of embezzlement, nepotism, prebendalism and other vices still exist. In other words, you can take a Nigerian out of Nigeria but you cannot(or dare not) Nigeria out of a Nigerian.

2. Former governor of Enugu Dr. Nnamani state lived in US for many years. In his 8 years of governorship, Enugu was in shambles until a homeboy Barr. Chime came in and transformed Enugu to its glory. The same goes for Okwadike (a Havard-trained economist). His tenure was the worst in the history of Anambra state. Not until another homeboy Dr. Ngige came in did Anambra state have some semblance of development.

I believe that living abroad is overrated. It is not as if Nigerians abroad contribute in the decision-making processes that transform their new homes. How many Nigerians are the governors, mayors or even councillors abroad? Most of them only know the ways to work and Moneygram/Western union outlets.

There you have it.

Why bother what strangers think of you?

1% owns 99% of the global wealth. They are the trendsetters.

Most importantly, you must never disenfranchise the trend-followers. They are the folks who cannot wait to
hand over their money to the next trendsetter. So keep them close because you need their money.

If in doubt, look at the Asian millionaires/billionaires, Zuckerberg, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates. If you have never
seen their pictures, you will definitely pass them on the street thinking they are some guys that work in a
warehouse.

Nothing is more fulfilling than looking at your investments and your account balances and realizing that you will
never be broke again. At that point, when people are buying Rolex to look good, you show up in slippers because
you are not answerable to anyone. You see that new SUV and you know you can afford many of them.
But then you ask yourself: what for? Try to reach this point and your life will never be the same again.

Nigerians knew that the country was heading to abyss and that's why the voted out GEJ.

But when Buhari came in, he appeared confused and ill-prepared for the task ahead. The first disappointment was the calibre of his ministers. Then there was the air of uncertainty. Worst of all, he followed the exact footstep of GEJ whereby impromptu policies are put forth, followed by denial and the reversal. Lack of concise policies marinated in uncertainties enveloped in phantom war on corruption did his government in.

GEJ was clueless. Buhari is clueless. The fault lies on Nigerians who keep voting in bad managers for the country. Does it make sense that in a country of 180m, their only options were GEJ and Buhari? Guess what? In 2019, the same cycle will be repeated. Thr same folks whining will collect a bag of rice, sell their votes and come back to whine for the next 4 years. Like people from IBB's era, they will live on hope only to find out that they are now above 40 years and nothing has changed.
\

Such is life.

And two shall be one in marriage. So there is no need of harassing GEJ. Putting heat on PEJ will indirectly affect GEJ.

Patience Jonathan goes from closing down roads and airports on arrival, hounding Amaechi in PH, etc. to being hunted by the powers she used to enjoy.

GEJ is from Bayelsa, wat did he do in Bayelsa or his region?


He did more in Kaduna and Kano than Bayelsa, that is wat u call a President thinking about the whole country.


Not ur present biggot elected by the most biggotted tribe(yorubas) in Nigeria, who only thinks North as a Northerner himself.


Biggots begets biggots.

/
You became the jury and the judge.

In other words, Goodluck sacrificed the interests of the SS/SE for the interests of the North. If politics is all about interests, it clearly shows that GEJ was as clueless as it can get. What did the northerners give him in return? Nada. Because they understand the rules of engagement in politics. Not that I expect you to understand under the spell of emotions.

Nigeria before the recession was a country importing around $80 Billion Annually,

Of that Crude Oil Sale provide about $35 Billion of that, the rest is sourced from Remittances from the diaspora and Foreign Investment.

What i am saying here is that Nigeria NEEDs foreign investments to thrive. Simple

You take away the Foreign Investment and add Low Crude Oil Revenue, you get a receding economy.

Even if Oil Sells at $100, you still need foreign investment in form of stocks, bonds etc providing Foreign currency to sustain Imports

The point i was making earlier is that foreign investments come in when the investor is guaranteed returns amidst manageable risks.

The Biggest of such risk is the Exchange Rate risk. Taking money from a US Institution at 3 Percent to put in our economy at 12 Percent makes no sense when the exchange rate is going against you 200 Percent!!

Hence no right thinking person will invest money knowing that the Naira is still in free fall.

They know because the foreign reserves tell everybody so.

$25 Billion USD is far from Safe and a bit too close for comfort.

The CBN will NEVER let the reserve get to $22 Billion. The Results are catastrophic and i would not go into them now

So everyone knows from the figures that the CBN does not simply have the resources to support the Nigerian Economy.

The only alternative is to get about $15 to $20 Billion in order to bolster confidence and stabilize the naira.

Everybody saying we is should look inward at the point is just a JOKER!

Looking inward is a Long Term Plan which is not realizable in the next 5 years if you start getting it right now

How can you look inward when you don't have simple electricity

No need to look inward, inside is very dark

Fix the Electricity, the rest will fall in place gradually.

I'm Out!!

GEJ left office since Feb 2015, this is Oct 2016 heading to 2017, yet u are still holding him after u forced him out of Office before he finished his projects.


Ndiigbo dont share in Afonja(Yoruba) hatred for GEJ, he did nothing wrong to us.


GEJ being our President is not a crime, save ur hate lectures 4 ur fellow yorubas. We can never hate GEJ.


The same goes 4 all u Zombies mentioning GEJ name here.

South east, my south eastern brothers are not only confused but unconscious, today they say the want Biafra tomorrow they cry of being marginalized. I intentionally served in the east to know their way of life. The are the most disunited tribe on earth, igbos don't trust their next neighbor, that's why you will notice individual fencing around every building even if the building is two rooms BQ. Their tradition and belief support that every house must have an "OBI" this is like a small palace. If every man is a king in a small village how would they obey and listen to the real king of that village. Every nukes and crannies in the east you will see the inscription "autonomous community" meaning that they are not under the authority of anyone. As we speak there are more APC supporters in the east most especially Imo state than the so called PDP I worked as inec Officer in one of the elections people trooped out to vote for APC. Their indeginous APGA is as dead as the founder. There's nothing like respect to the elders in the east, as we speak there's no single political leader that the east can boast of unlike other regions like the north and southwest. No presidential material, no united ethnic group today you hear of iPod, Massob and so on. Outside their southeast, they are more distumited, after meeting of Igbo people in a particular street in Lagos, then another meeting of people that come from same local government in the east, then you see another meeting of people from same village and so on. I took time to ask old people about the origin of Igbo people they have different stories to tell. They can't even mention the name of their forefather just as Hausa history can lay claim to BABAYIDA and Yoruba ODUDUWA. Some of them claim that they are from Israel I wonder how they cross the Red Sea. I don't hate ibos an ibos man chidiebere is my best friend but I just think in my opinion if this wonderful, innovative and industrious tribe can come together they can rule world.

/
Igbo people believe that only God and rich folks are perfect.

If you have money and somewhat philanthropic, you can walk up and slap any elder and he will still tell you "thank sir". Autonomous communities became the trend when drug dealers, 419ers and other criminals bought up the communities through donations in cash and infrastructures. Many criminals became the kings/igwe in their little communities under the goading of the elders and worse, under the supervision of the so-called custodians of Igbo culture.

If Mark had stayed longer in Nigeria, one moronic Igbo scammer of a king would have invited him for a chieftancy title. That's how much the culture has been thoroughly "bastardized".

Ebele Azikiwe rehabilitated all the federal, state and local roads in South east, in fact he initiated the construction of 2nd Niger bridge.

Umu'igbo can testify to that.

LOL.

Igbo people do not understand that the only things that matter in politics are interests. They attach emotions to politics and under emotional spell, people tend to act irrationally. How can a group of people promise a block vote to a candidate that had not articulated his goals and plans for a region? The Yoruba folks held back and got millions of dollars. The same Igbo folks realized their mistakes a tad too late, went back to beg and got peanuts.Yeah. Smart people indeed.

Apple, famed for sophisticated phones, is at it again with the launch of the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus which are the mobile phones of the moment. As expected, it was launched by Apple with so much pomp and pageantry and fans are very excited and look forward to laying their hands on this gadget.

Some of the key features of the phones are: Capacity- 32 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB, colour-Rose Gold, Gold, Silver, Black, Jet Black, Weight- 138 grams (iPhone 7) 188 grams (iPhone 7 plus), Display 4.7 (iPhone 7) 5.5 (iPhone 7 plus), water and dust resistant and 12 megapixel camera.

In addition, both phones have nifty processors, improved cameras, and durable battery life. However, there are certain things or features that may discourage you from buying these iPhones. Jumia Travel Africa’s No 1 hotel booking identify some them.

No radical design changes

If you use the iPhone 6 series, you probably do not need to worry about upgrading to the new iPhones. Why? Because there are no huge differences in design. The only noticeable changes are that iPhone 7 and 7 plus have bottom stereo speakers and 2 back cameras (iPhone 7 plus). Beyond this, there are no major design changes.

No Headphone jack

Apple has gotten rid of the headphone jack. Now, you can only use wireless earphones with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Hence, you may be unable to use the earphones for other mobile devices.

Nothing special about water and dust resistant

Thankfully, iPhone is finally water resistant. It may not catch the fancy of Apple fans because water and dust resistant is already a key feature in the Samsung Galaxy S7 for over several models.

It can easily shatter

The iPhone glass screen is very fragile which means it can easily shatter when it drops. Meanwhile, other mobile phones are shatter proof even if iPhones are virus and hack proof.

Cost

The new iPhones cost $649 (approximately N270,000). And considering the economic recession, buying these phones may not be on your priority list. Unfortunately, instalment payment options are not available in Nigeria.

http://www.businesspost.ng/2016/09/16/5-essential-things-to-consider-before-buying-iphone-7/

Shatterproof is more important than water proof.

Who takes their phones to the water?

But a cracked screen kills all the beauty.

Now that's something they should work on.

All the lazy graduates are lounging in the cities waiting for "God knows who" to plant/cultivate produces to feed them.

Drill some boreholes to provide irrigation for all year production of food. No! Everyone wants to sit in an air-conditioned office and complain about the high cost of food.
Unless some white people come to Nigeria to invest in commercial food production like they did bsck then in Zimbabwe, Nigerians will sit around their lazy behinds b#tching and whining to God for survival. Black is a cursed race. All evidences point to it.

Only time will tell.

Exercise and stay fit. If you play soccer consistently, that's good enough because that works your cardiovascular systems, pulmonary systems and overall muscles.You can also run or jog a couple of miles everyday to stay fit.

An athlete stays in top form by working out. But other than athletes and professionals, anyone who goes to the gym religiously to lift weight just to look good is a certified loser. The gym is a church for the homosexuals.
