A little bit relieved. At a point, I was thinking the girl was homeless, always on the street, always meeting you.

But when she kept trying to lure you to her house. I started thinking may be someone needs a kidney or some organ somewhere for orisirisi and you seem like an easy prey.

The leadership style of Jonathan over the years showed that he doesn't really go out and out of his way

to fight for things; consider Jonathan's action during the struggle for Acting President and substantive President during Yar'Adua's saga; review

Jonathan's reaction to the Boko Haram's abduction of about 300 little girls; reflect on how Jonathan has handled the series of bomb explosions at

Abuja and elsewhere in the country; none of these issues received the urgency, barking and biting reactions they deserved; Jonathan may just

raise eyebrows and sink back into normalcy again; you may think he's planning something; but it NEVER materialized, at least to the best of our

observation! He just stayed there and allowed events to play themselves out! Its an INTERESTING leadership style that lack a DELIBERATELY

DESIGN EFFORT or strategy to accomplish something with determination and purposefulness! It is either that nothing is really important to him or

its a serious mole or mutation in his DNA! ... JUI

Nobody (in his right mind) cheats on himself, harms himself, maltreats himself, shortchanges himself or gets violent with himself . Cultivating the marital virtue of fairness will give your marriage not only equality but closeness, and it will require you to continually work both on your own and together – as a couple.

People go into marriage not knowing what they want. So they resort to scripted TV shows and the media to give
them guidance and expectations.

They forget that TV shows are just what they are--shows. Because you see Rambo killing a whole city does not mean that in real
life US is going to send him into Iraq all by himself. That's where reality overtakes fantasy. But some people are more comfortable
in fantasy because of the endorphins the thought releases into their body.

Before you know it, the marriage packs up.

They will be highly disappointed eventually because Buhari must satisfy his own men in APC and will not have time for them.
They were busy doing ' northern agenda' forgetting that politics is about interest.

\
These people are chameleons. They are like virus. You cannot get rid of them. They can only be managed.
By the way, they come in different forms. There is no ethnic, religious or party barriers. If they can't get the president, they go through the spouse.

Those saboteurs don't know that they are the greatest losers in that election.
Jonathan has been the President of Nigeria for almost 6yrs, a feat which most of them can hardly achieve again.
Jonathan has even capped his achievements in life by conceding defeat and earning himself a respectable place in history and in international politics. So, the big losers are the saboteurs!

/
The feat you are talking about is of no strategic business interest to the saboteurs. Their primary concern is their bank accounts. Not fame, title, leadership, history,etc.

By the way, they are ready for GMB too. These people are professional sycophants. And I must say, they are damn good at it.

Even before the elections officially started, I stated that PDP should do everything in their power to keep Patience away from the microphone. What did they do? They let her loose on the campaign trail and she did what she knows best--talking without making sense. And in that process, she alienated a lot of people.

Unbias:
JESUS’ EXISTENCE. That Jesus was a historical individual is granted by virtually all historians and is supported by ancient Christian, Jewish, and pagan sources. Yet modern skeptics often feel that their best strategy for denying the evidence of his resurrection is to deny that he even existed.

JESUS’ DEATH. The most popular counter to the Resurrection in non-Christian and heretical beliefs is to deny that Jesus died on the cross (e.g., this is the position of Islam). However, historians regard the death of Jesus by crucifixion as ordered by Pontius Pilate to be as historically certain as any other fact of antiquity.

CRUCIFIED MESSIAH. Crucifixion was a horrible, shameful way to die, so much so that it would never have occurred to anyone in the first century to invent a story about a crucified man as the divine Savior and King of the world. Something extreme and dramatic must have happened to lead people to accept such an idea—something like his rising from the dead.

JOSEPH’S TOMB. All four Gospels agree that Jesus’ body had been buried in the rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council (the Sanhedrin). This is an unlikely Christian fiction, because Christians blamed the Sanhedrin for their role in having Jesus executed.

WOMEN WITNESSES. The four Gospels all agree that the first persons to find the tomb empty were Jewish women, including Mary Magdalene. It is very unlikely that anyone would make up such a story, since women’s testimony was devalued compared to men’s and since Mary Magdalene was known as a formerly demon-possessed woman. If the empty tomb story were fiction, one would expect that Joseph of Arimathea, already identified as the tomb’s owner and a respected male leader, would be credited with the discovery.

ANCIENT THEORIES. The earliest non-Christian explanations for the origin of the Resurrection belief (mentioned in John and Matthew) were that the body had been taken from the tomb—either moved to another burial place or stolen to fake the Resurrection. These explanations conceded three key facts: Jesus died; his body was buried in Joseph’s tomb; the tomb was later found to be empty.

TOMB WAS GUARDED. Critics routinely dismiss Matthew’s story about the guards being bribed to say that they fell asleep, giving the disciples opportunity to steal the body (Matt. 28:11-15). But Matthew would have no reason to make up the story about the guards being bribed except to counter the story of the guards saying they fell asleep (see v. 15). Either way, the guards were there: the body had been in the tomb, the tomb had been guarded, and the body was no longer there.

PAUL AND LUKE’S INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTS. Paul’s list of resurrection witnesses in 1 Corinthians 15:5-7 coincides with Luke’s account at several points, but in wording and in what is included Luke’s account is clearly independent of Paul. For example, Paul calls Peter by his Aramaic nickname “Cephas,” not Simon or Peter; he refers to “the twelve,” Luke to “the eleven”; Luke does not mention the appearances to James or the five hundred. Thus Paul and Luke give us independent accounts of the appearances they both mention.

CLOPAS AND THAT OTHER GUY. Luke gives the name of one of the two men on the road to Emmaus who saw Jesus (Clopas) but not the name of the other man. If he was making up names he would presumably have given both of the men names. The fact that he identifies only one of the two men by name is best explained if that man, Clopas, was the source of Luke’s account. In short, this fact is evidence that the account came from an eyewitness.

BROTHER JAMES. Although Luke does not mention the resurrection appearance to James (the Lord’s brother) mentioned by Paul in 1 Corinthians 6, Luke does report that James had become a leading member of the apostolic group (see especially Acts 15:13-21). Since Jesus’ brothers had rejected Jesus during his lifetime (John 7:5), Paul’s reference to Christ appearing to James is probably based on fact.

JOHN’S EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT. The author of the Gospel of John emphatically states that he was an eyewitness of the death of Jesus, of the empty tomb, and of resurrection appearances of Jesus (John 19:32-35; 20:2-9; 21:7, 20-25). Either he sincerely had these experiences or he was lying; appeals to legend or myth are out of the question here.

ANCIENT SKEPTICISM. Luke reports the skepticism of the men disciples the morning the tomb was found empty (Luke 24:22-24), and John reports Thomas’s skepticism about Jesus’ resurrection (John 20:24-26). These accounts (see also Acts 17:32; 1 Cor. 15:12) demonstrate that the perception of ancient people as gullible hayseeds who would believe any miracle story is a modern prejudicial stereotype.

PAUL’S CONVERSION. Paul was a notorious persecutor of the early Christians prior to his becoming an apostle. His explanation, that Christ appeared to him and called him to faith and the apostolic ministry, is the only plausible explanation for his 180-degree change. Moreover, Paul’s experience was entirely independent of the experience of the other apostles.

PAUL’S GENTILE MISSION. Paul’s encounter with the risen Jesus did not result merely in him accepting Jesus as the Jews’ Messiah. Instead, he saw himself, a trained and zealous Pharisee, as commissioned by Jesus to take the good news of the Messiah to uncircumcised Gentiles. The fact that Paul embraced such a calling against his former passionate beliefs and training makes any appeal to hallucination or delusion implausible.

Requoting verses in the bible is in itself not an evidence.

Jonathan is a good man, so they say.

This is.only the tip of the iceberg.

Diezani is already lobbying for soft-landing.

Who said Nigeria no go better?

Bevista:
The man has not even been sworn in, yet there are positive economic news everywhere.

In other news it is reported that foreign investors who have never considered Nigeria for their investment are already lining up to come. When asked why the sudden interest, one of them said 'because we know we don't have to bribe anybody now'.

/
It is called market sentiment.

It has been known to keep an economy going when all odds are stacked against it.

People do not know what negative impact sentiment around GEJ had on the economy. They were looking at the peripheral and shouting "GEJ till 2019" oblivious of the fact that gradual decadence into abyss was the path of least resistance under the guidance of unassuming and uninspiring president.

\

Funny or not, this guy inspires. One can feel the air of optimism everywhere.

Less than a week after winning the elections, some things have even started to autocorrect.

People who were dormant have started to sit up.

Who said Nigeria no go better?

Adegbodolu1:
APC failed there because the Igbo's are pitiful learners in politics and governance. Check your history bro. Pathetically the same people are smarting to make yet another heinous mistake in the forthcoming guber on 11th April. If I were an Igbo man I would put a gun to all Igbos head to vote APC so they can gain some relevance in this dispensation and protect the massive opportunity the Owelle has built to achieve Igbo presidency of Nigeria. Obviously must get a nutritionist now and get rid of that massive belle.

Employees = slaves.

Just a matter of semantics.

What is the difference? By January 1st each year, your employer tells how many days you be can sick in a year.

You can form all the big boy/girl you want. It only takes three words to reset your destiny--"-You are fired".

Labour unions are trying their best but the key to.your destiny lies at the feet of your employers.

I wonder what could have happened if Buhari believed that as a General he is too big to take insults from ordinary civilians. He had his mind set on a goal and no roadblocks frustrated his effort.

Do you see where the OP is lacking? You have to serve someone (and take rubbish sef) before you go become oga. I no sure say op get ambition.

Kolade354:
So because she has been giving her free ride,He is now Obliged to carry Handbag............Pls Dont quote me again cosit is obvious you are not in line with me.

If you don't want to be quoted, then stay away from a public forum.

Anyone who thinks GEJ conceded out of the magnanimity of his heart is naive. There were strong invisible and invincible hands at work. GEJ stood no chance.

Kolade354:
If this shld Happen in europe he will have to sue his boss.........But here in Nigeria such can happen.

/
You are mixing Apple with oranges.
Stop comparing Europe and Nigeria. Ever heard of 6 months salaries in arrears in Europe? He could be fired in Europe surreptitiously. It doesn't have to be immediately.

Don't forget the OP has been getting free rides from the boss. And he couldn't help in carrying a bag. He is an ingrate. That's all.
/

duni04:
Oga pls read what the OPsaid again and stop blabbing. They're both architects. She even fumbled on a project that had to be given to the OPto do again. The only rank she has over him is that its her fathers company!
You really need to think more highly of yourself. From your posts, I can tell you have a shitty perception of you own self worth, even as a man

/
The boss is rarely the smartest one in a team.

The boss constantly being hard on you is God's way of reminding you to work harder to become independent. Even at that, people will still irritate you as a sole proprietor. And if you cannot figure out how to diplomatically deal with such situations in life, you are bound to fail. A lot of people hate their bosses, yet they go to work everyday.

The lady is not bad after all. She let the leech get free rides once in a while. If you want respect, stop enjoying freebies. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
\

Kolade354:
Nigeria with their mentality, Is carrying His Boss Hand bag part of his offcial duties?...........Is she paying her for free, He works under Her and their is limit to what she can ask her to do.

/
Nigeria and their mentality? Well my friend, you cannot live in Nigeria with European mentality neither can you live in Europe well with Nigerian mentality.

You cannot challenge your boss without options. The OP has options which include loss of job. That option was exercised. The OP should move on to a more friendly environment.

When a company sends an intern on a coffee run in the office, it is never specified in their job responsibilities.

OP made a choice. Now he has to live with the consequences which by the way could be good or bad. Bad in the sense that he lost a job. Good in the sense that the experience will motivate and propel him to a higher level.

I will do the same 100 times you are right bro............A man has to be a man,I cant sell my birthright because of food.

The person that feeds you is your god next to God.

What is the cost-benefit ratio of not carrying the bag? Zilch!

Let's see how long it will take you to get another job.

Meanwhile, your action is justifiable if the job is not fulfilling enough for you and you have a Plan B.
\

GEJ had nothing to say. He will have nothing to say.

That mental image of him eating birthday cake and being indifferent until 2weeks after the Chibok saga was the action that shook the world on their knees. Up till today when strangers know that I.am a Nigerian, the follow up question is always if the girls have been found.

The Chibok girls issue did GEJ in. World leaders treated him like a leper after that show of infamy.

Last I checked, Yoruba stayed last four years without being president, vice president, Senate president or deputy, Speaker or deputy, yet nobody called them fools and they not only survived, they emerged stronger.
We're happy to fight for our survival without being parasites.

/
If you know the meaning "parasites", you will know that you used it out of context.

Igbo people should stop protecting friends but protect their interests.

Rule of Thumb: Not everyone that professes to be your friend have your interest at heart. Let their actions speak for them. It is like someone with a very low self-esteem who will take anyone as a friend. Such people tend to remain in unhealthy relationships. When you think about that, think about the Igbo people in the contemporary Nigerian politics.

PhockPhockMan:
On 11th, we Igbos out of greed will vote massively for PDP again. I'm sure he don't even know the meaning greed. Igbos made their choice known, clear and simple. We owe nobody any apology.




MUMU GOVERNOR.

You made your choice known, clear and simple just like a man who goes to a gun fight with a knife.

This is politics. At the end who loses? The ones who marginalize themselves and keep crying "marginalization".

Everything is negotiable. The problem I have come to find out is that a lot of people do not know how to negotiate. I find it hard to believe that the dude opposed your master degree pursuit. I am saying this because I have dealt with women with valid points but their mode of delivery sucked. Did you tell him that it is the plan for the family or you told him it is your plan and then went ahead and dish out some ultimatum? I know why I ask all these questions.

Change your style. Forget about your mother's spiritual consultation. That in itself is a load of crap.

MzHolly aka OP:

I just saw your pictures. Let's get some things out:

1. You don't fit the profile of a corporate lady.

2. Who will sleep with a tattooed, hood rat like you? A Poindexter may be. A corporate executive? In your dreams because I don't think you have access to any of them as portrayed in your story.

Have you checked your body temperature today? It could be an acute case of malaria or typhoid fever.

isbish:
Well said bro. Nigerians never seize to amaze me. They think GEJ didn't try to rig? Funny. He just couldn't cos we masses prayed to God to make our choice count. Videos of rigging are all over the net espcially in Akwa Ibom and Rivers. These are PDP riggers. They undermined the power of God. Many people speak with wanton arrogance that God will never allow GMB to lead Nigeria as if they are God...pathetic. GEJ was a bad leader who allowed midiocre people to sail his government. Ur followers are a reflection of who and what u are. He isn't much different from those clowns that ran his government down.

/
The issue is that in their delusion and paranoia, the so-called supporters of GEJ (none of them can point to how GEJ affected their lives positively) fail to acknowledge that people were fed up with the inactions and redundant-committees forming tendencies of GEJ.

They should compare 2011 and 2015 results and ask themselves,"what went wrong?". I am not a Muslim and I fully supported GMB from day one because the center was not holding.

I can only pray that Aisha bring sanity and class into "First Lady"
Some said Patience is a good wife. How? Any woman who flies presidential jets, enjoys perks of the presidency, gets N1bn in refreshments annually yet fails to support the husband as well as campaign for continuity deserves to be barbecued. She was protecting her interests. Some people misconstrue that as being a "supporting and a dutiful wife". Yea right. Let GEJ end up in face me and face you after. Then we shall see how dutiful she really is as a wife. Some people just don't get it.

\

/
GEJ performed very well in the easy aspects of leadership--spending money that is already there. How difficult is it to award a contract? By the way such contracts are easy ways of looting the treasury through over invoicing as well as patronizing one's acolytes.

But in other aspects that matter a lot, he failed woefully. A president that cannot control his underlings is useless. FFK and Okupe were all over the place insulting and denigrating anyone with diverse opinions from the presidency. GEJ remained mute. Who is the boss?

On the issue of corruption, he appeared indifferent. How can a president go on national tv to say that stealing is not corruption? And to crown it all, he rubbed it in with the pardon of Alamieghesa. FFK with all the corruption charges over his head became his campaign spokesperson and all charges were dropped. SMH. Kashamu? Oh well. It comes down to perception. The public opinion is that GEJ is in bed with corruption.
Decision making? GEJ will.take the cake as the president with the most excuses on issues of national.importance. instead of being a leader, he found comfort in blaming the opposition.for all.misgivings of his government. Is it Boko Haram? A PC! Ekitigate? A PC! Missing $20bn? A PC. GEJ single handedly made A PC very powerful by ascribing to them powers that they don't possess. He turned himself into.a victim instead of a leader.
All in all, GEJ is not a leader.
