Fight who back?, Country that sanctions is already taking a toll on?

A West African francophone country wants to engage Ecowas & France?

Suicide.

One Yoruba proverb roughly translated says "a leper may not have the ability to milk a cow but he definitely has the capacity to tip over the milk bucket (adete o le fun wara, sugbon o le da wara nu). In all your calculations, always remember to be careful around people that have nothing to lose or people that apparently seem to be underdogs.

It's funny that most of the people supporting the war do not have any stake at the battle front. Most of us are just analyzing the situation and calculating and permutating from the comfort of our homes.

LegendHero:
Lol, the lady did some delusional tactics well. Most of the things she stated there are lies for USA or she probably live in the extreme suburb where she has to take 2hours ride to get to the nearest city.

—Consistent internet which will give Wi-Fi for a home for instance should be within $60-$100 monthly. Your phone bill could be $30, but it’s not gonna power most of your household gadgets and etc coz that $30 won’t be on an unlimited data plan.

—How can 2bed rent be $9600 per year? Does she mean in Houston for example, you’ll get a 2bed apartment for $800? She’s probably hallucinating.

In ATL for example, house rent in the city area for that 2 bed are usually within $1500-2500 per month. On top of that, you pay Light bill, gas bill, and the apartment monthly charges on sewage and common area if you live in an Apt complex. That could be additional $250 on it.

If it’s now mortgage, no way in hell will you get that monthly payment.

On average, in a city, you’ll pay nothing less than $18k yearly and that’s even being conservative. It could go up to $28k in total for most cities.

—I agree with her groceries of $700 monthly. That still make sense if you’re only spending on food.

However, to go out to a restaurant for 2 people, you spend nothing less than $80-100 in one sitting especially for Nigerian food restaurants. To the lounge, you spend nothing less than $100-$150 if you factor hookah and drinks for 2 people.

Except if you be get inside person will you even spend that monthly. Coz me I count jollification with food price.

Shhhh..... it's enough .... off your mic

rent at $9,600 per year. when even some student will pay upwards of $500 per month for shared accommodation in university dormitories.

LarryCork:


ok so u you like women givien u orders?sending u to go n buy petrol...or even goto bed...corrrrect?so even ordnarrrry siofra & send u to buy cigarette?...bro are u male or female?(no oofencse)

Bros, you'll be alright someday. Back to your question - yes. I was raised by women, so listen to them. I keep a wife at home and I regularly receive orders and directions from her especially in areas where I believe she has more expertise.

It's the less complicated alternative for me. To each their own.

Why do I need to wait for my wife to be tired before I contribute to help the family? If I find myself near or close to the store/market, I will get whatever we need to get. If nothing comes to mind, I will call her to check if there's anything we need to get.

BadMaster:

I really don't understand these unnecessary attacks against the woman, simply because she wore a hijab that doesn't have any negative impact on any other person.

While I do not condemn the player for what she decided to wear (it's none of my business), I also will not pretend as if there's no reason to be bothered about the development.

Let's take a step back and be realistic -
Is her dressing and participation in soccer Islamic? NO - We can still see her shape.
Is there a likelihood that, at some point in the near future, there would there be a demand for her to be fully compliant (or at least more compliant) will Islamic dress codes? Yes, more than likely.
Would the full Islamic dress code work well with the game of soccer? The easiest answer right now is "NO". I said "easiest answer right now" because further thorough evaluation of the scenario may prove otherwise.

That is why people that really love the game would be bothered. I support her so far for 2 reasons:
1. If the game can accommodate an individual that declared that she is "NOT A WOMAN", then let them allow everyone to express themselves.
2. It is very obvious that her dressing (as it is) did not and will not give her team any added advantage and neither will it put the opposing team in any disadvantage.

However, people that are passionate about the game will see her mode of dressing as a way for her to test the waters for demands for additional modifications to the dressing code in soccer. That is why they have to start resisting the change before it becomes a reality.

Las, las, all of us go dey alright.

BadMaster:

.... This is just plain hate against Islam because it doesn't make any sense.

He that comes to equity must come with clean hands. It's not by force to play soccer. There are so many Moslem players from both genders, and they have fans that cut across every line of division - race/religion/ethnicity/class, etc. So I don't agree with your position that being bothered about the alteration of long-standing dress codes in a game that is not mandatory for qualification for Jannah is "hate against Islam". Please let's grow beyond that.

BadMaster:

These unprovoked attacks are some of the reasons why Seun made it mandatory for people to swear before commenting in the Islamic section.

This is another hypocritic action and I think whoever supports is nothing but an hypocrite. I will not attack any religion and I will not support anyone who does. However, these questions are begging for answers:
Is Islam the only religion that is being "attacked" on Nairaland?
Why does Seun (and his cohorts moderators) think it is only Islam that must be protected from attacks?
Why do they move threads on Islam to the front page if they don't want people to comment on it?
Why don't they simply delete offensive comments in their threads? Shebi they have powerful moderators.

Truvelisback:
"Shenanigan"Grammarian, I hail ooo. The word sound like a place in China or Japan.

chaiii.... you don make me laugh tire with your comment. Anyways, I gats to show off say I passed by the gate of our village school (even if dem no gree us enter).

Have a nice day bro.

doggedfighter:
Did she score ?


They will soon ask to be allowed to wear long hijabs

At this point, I will say let her wear anything she likes. If someone that does not identify as a woman can be allowed on the pitch, then why would a woman be denied the opportunity to participate just because she doesn't dress like everyone else? Let her express herself as long as her dressing does not infringe on or jeopardize the ability of others to bring on their best game.

PS - I'm not a Muslim. I'm just trying to rationalize the whole shenanigan of inclusiveness.

LabourPartyNG:
How will Buhari feel nah!

nkpommpko:
Why do you destroy the vessel with The crude? What kind of country is this abeg!!!

The reason is simple - to cover up and divert attention from the real stolen crude.

There's this joke about a man that successfully robbed a bank of about 10M naira. He was not caught so he was safely at home listening to the news when he saw the bank manager on air claiming that the robber made away with 50M naira. Nobody will ever look for the 40M stolen by the bank manager.

Na the same thing this people wan do us. They will assign some unreasonable volume of crude to this vessel and say that is what they destroyed. Meanwhile the real stolen crude go find another way reach obodo oyibo.

Another Titanic about to go down
Total number of passengers:5610
Fee per passenger:179 dollars.

179 dollars?? For where?

Make I no lie. I falsified my result on my first attempt too. I had gone to JAMB office to check and saw that I got 199. I knew that my "witch" of a sister will not let me breathe in peace in that house with that score, so I added one to my report and told them at home that I got 200 .

There was no technology like this then. All you had was the slip that will come in the mail, so I was patiently waiting for it to show up.

I knew nobody would check my claim because a score of 200 in those days can never give you any admission (at least not in the schools I applied to). Secondly, I was sure I didn't do well in my WASC (May/June), so nobody will be discussing admission with me. That's how I got some peace in the house o. If dem catch me self, I for say na mistake. Afterall, if I no fit get 200 in JAMB, why you go think say I no go fit make mistake in the calculation of my result.

YungMillionaire:
She needs to get a lawyer and STOP talking. Are there no sensible people left in Igboland?

I fear o. I was so shocked when I saw her being interviewed on a TV programme. I hope some adults will not use their stupidity and greed to ruin the poor girls future.

Sirchiboy:
Oya let us go there

Yes o, even if na just to entrap the guy. Once you dash some babes small change, you will see them trying to "pay you back in kind". Funny thing is that they are not planning to pay back, they just want to consolidate the flow of material resources and probably make you owe them in the end.

Lurdd:
There's this girl I met..
I sheepishly fell for her after few romantic calls from her
She's fair and pretty.
Then I decided to take her out today,she took a cab which I paid 2k. so we went to an eatery.. then I bought rice and chicken and some stuffs we ate..the bill was 13500, after we were done around 2:35 we left there, she said she wanted to go swimming I then took her to a fancy hotel with an Uber 3k.. on getting there she saw a guy she knew, they exchanged pleasantries which I didn't care about.. turns out that the guy came to swim as well...the swimming was 4k each for both of us.. that's 8k plus the swimming trunks I bought for her that is 3500k...so we freshened up and jump into the pool, i noticed she avoided me inside the pool, always wanting to play alone, and avoided me touching her then I left her on her own..and was swimming alone and having fun, I came back again for her to notice me, she still snubbed me...I left her alone and sat down near the pool when it was raining and there was this cold that pulled me down as I was shivering... meanwhile she was still inside the pool having fun all by herself... until this guy we met when we came.. went inside the pool..I then saw them interacting and I was annoyed..not until I saw him backing her and carrying her around inside the pool while they have fun... Not once not twice, she later came later came to me and ask if I was feeling cold I said yes she said sorry and went back inside the pool...to cut the story short, while I was sitting all by myself interacting with some guys, that guy she was playing with came and told me that my girl said that I was just a friend that he wanted to confirm himself, so he will know he's not offending anyone.. I felt like an idiot, as I went to the dressing room and put on my clothes and left scene looking foolish as she called me back..
On my way back home I bought magic moment vodka.. and drank myself to stupur
Am still high while typing these... What is the problem..I put on an expensive VL shirt with a jogger I bought 21k a slippers of 7k, I sprayed a very nice perfume. I have a very nice facial look...what was the problem if I may ask, I avoided girls like plague all my life and gave this one chance and she made me a fool, am only 23. I think I've learnt my lesson.. my deepest regrets was the whole money I spent, it should remained in my account.. girls fear my return.

This response is not from an Alpha male or a red-piller. I'm as SIMPly as anyone can be. These are some things that my SIMP brain will see as a red flag if I was in your situation:

#1 Don't fall for someone that has not fallen (or is not falling) for you. Once the feeling is not mutual, don't sit down wasting your money, time and life with them.
#2 Spend only an amount that is dispensable to you on anyone that is not yoked to you.
#3 You don't need to succumb to every whim of anyone (male, female or whatever). If I take a lady out and she did not contribute anything to the expenses, then additional expense calls will be absolutely at my pleasure.
#4 Who goes to a swimming pool without swimming trunks? I'm definitely not making such a sudden expense (even if na 50 naira). Too impulsive. She's just taking advantage of you.

I am naturally stingy, so I'm tremendously OK if I save my money and lose the b**ch.

Goalnaldo:
You lost your son and suddenly a car is your problem. Odi egwu. Most people quoting me were sleeping like a sloth when i read and digested this thread. You all should rest please.

I am not in support of his request, but the son's demise is not a recent event. Even if it was, he needs to slowly get back on his feet and live his life. Getting back a car that he sold while attempting to save the son's life seems to be in line.

Stephen2324:
Is it cheating if your Man is sending Money to random Women ?

While you respond, also let me know if you ‘consider receiving Money from random Men’ as cheating too

My response is from the point of view of a married couple.
It depends on the financial structure of your family and your definition of random.

First, do you have a joint account and are you using money from the joint account (or money that should have gone into the joint account) for these donations? If yes, then it is cheating of some sort.

Secondly - How do you define random?
People you've had some rendezvous with in the past? potential candidates for a rendezvous? or are they people you're unlikely to ever meet for any reason?

On one hand, you want to be transparent with your spouse (I don't know about girlfriend o), so she knows she's safe. On the other hand, No matter how you define random, you need to ensure that you keep your tracks clean and ensure money you give out will not come back to haunt you. Some women will start a relationship with you (in their mind) immediately you send them money. Be careful.

Finally, you need to ensure that your giving (to any gender or any cause - religious or old student association, individual or corporate) does not jeopardize your family in any way whatsoever.

As to the last part of your question, I am a man, but I know (100% sure) that most women love men that are able to give money/support to random women with no strings attached. They (most of them)just don't want their husband to be that man.

YoungDaNaval:
Did you vote for BAT

No sir, and that is my point. Let us move beyond these unnecessary bickering. These politicians know where and how they meet. They may not agree but they are civil about the disagreement because they know what is at stake. Most times, they are wining and dining together while their supporters are fighting and breaking bottles to show support for their politician.

No matter how big your ministry or service is - whether spiritual or secular, there is always an assistant or deputy to cover the gap when you're not around. Sometimes we even have a clear succession plan to know who will take over when we are no longer available. The only ministry/role for which you have no deputy, no assistant, no planned successor (at least not known to you 😂) is your role as a husband/wife to your spouse. I think that should send a clear message about how seriously we should take that role. I am aware that family dynamics differ but do not let anything mess up your duty to your spouse/family. If God's work or career is messing up your family, go back and check your priorities.

God is not an author of confusion.

YoungDaNaval:
If you check well, they voted for Tinubu

Bros, leave that one. Wickedness knows no political, tribal, ethnic, religious or even educational boundaries.

xavuv:
Lol 😂 i remember, many years ago, when i was preparing for my bach eve. Popsy called me and said that he heard my siblings talking about me & friends arranging bach eve. I said yes, that correct. He said i should not do it, and if i must it must not be a night party, that we should do it like 12pm-4pm, and that there should not be any alcoholic drinks and stuffs like that.

With an innocent look, i said OK, i have heard. I left his presence.

Omo, the party loud gang, college chicks, booze, DJ music, food, smoke plenty well well, even my brothers inlaw came around and enjoyed themselves. Started the party around11 pm and ended like 4am ( on the wedding day).

Poppsy got a wind of how the party went and all that. Popsy didn't even mention it again till date.

What I'm saying is.... If possible do not engage ur popman in disrespectful arguments. "OK sir, yes sir, no wahala", should be your response when you went to his room that night, or whenever stuffs like this wants to happen.

Just be a good person and be moderate in your doings, he won't bother you again.

Abi now. My own father still wanted to be controlling me in the house I built with my money, in front of my wife and kids. Will I fight him? I will say "yes sir" and go back to doing what I wanted to do. Of course, e still get some waka wey I no go waka when he's with me.

DamianDd:


Omoh I guess so, I'll apologize when the time is right.... Let's just give it time. I know him well

Don't give it time o. Don't form for him. You are very wrong to have brought the rent payment up. I say that carefully because I do not have full details about the dynamics of your relationship and his role while you were growing up. However, based on what you narrated here, you are wrong. I am a father, and I would wish I was dead if my son told me what you said to him (in the way you said it). You could have still passed the same message across to him without making him feel that way.

Please apologize to him immediately. Waiting will only make it worse. He may not be in a position to retaliate or punish you but, he is still your father and the least you could do is to strengthen him and boost his morale when he is down.

We all have fathers like that - mine was worse. Unfortunately, by the time I started having children, I realized I was "worser". Not in a horrible way like that but I am a helicopter dad just like my dad before me. The only good thing is that I regularly make up for it with my sweet tongue. I am also able to quickly know when I'm not trusting God enough and getting over-worried, so I just acknowledge my over-worrying to my kids, I apologize, and we move on.

Please apologize to him without reservation and start cultivating ways of encouraging him rather than tear down his self esteem. That is one of the worst things you can do to a reasonable man.

SIONKPO1:

.So many are insulting Iyabo ojo because she didn't Campaigned for APC Instead

You're so on point. That is why I have little or no respect for most people that are die hard supporters of any politician. They either refuse to open their brain to be objective or they are simply afraid to say something positive about their master's opponents even when the truth is slapping them in the face. I usually stay far away from such people o. Na only internet dey bring them close. Thank God we are all anonymous here.

YouandiAllofus:
She is not denying, she is not running away and she acknowledges the due sum! Failure to meet deadline can only result in misdemeanor if charges are pressed which shouldn't carry a sentence of not more than six months behind bars. Under this current economic 'sukar-spree', i would gladly trade the bars for the milz. No time

Be careful what you wish for. Tax evasion is a criminal offence in most countries. The prison term may not also exempt the person from paying what is owed.

Blackdeewhy:
I think they are getting back at you for supporting Obi.
God dey your side mama💝

1. It is definitely unfair if she's being targeted because she supported another candidate against them. Unfortunately, the fact that she supported another candidate against them does not exempt her from fulfilling one of the basic civic obligations.

2. He that comes to equity must come with clean hands. The only reasonable defense in this case is for her to show that she did not make the amount that is the basis of the assessment or that she has paid the income tax and it was not reflected in the assessment.

3. If you're making more than 3M per month in Nigeria as a self-employed individual, you will do yourself a great favour by ensuring that you are on top of your bookkeeping for tax purposes. If possible, spend a token to get an accountant to ensure that your records are straightforward and you're not paying more than is necessary. For example, the 35M she claimed to have spent on the dress for AMVCA could have been business expense considering the fact that it was used towards her appearance for a professional event. She would also have all sorts of professionals on her pay roll. In short, there dozens of legitimate expenses that should significantly reduce her taxable income and by extension the tax payable if she is serious. Coming to social media to cry will not help her matters in any way. If anything, she is just complicating her case.

The 150K that you're dreaming of is someone's lunch money. Be humble. Empty barrels make the loudest noise

Fahvvy:
Hahahahah ...
The average modern woman is REALLY DAFT! Kai! ...

Let's do the math...
Oga earns 400k, if he uses 345k (86.25% of his salary) to get you a phone, he'll be left with just 55k...

And from that 55k, I'm sure you'll still expect him to take you out and sub for you and make your hair and all ...

What then will be left for his basic needs (transportation to work, feeding, accommodation etc) ...

And what's worse is that, the fo.ol said "I didn't do anything wrong" ...

Sighs...
Tis well...

"didn't do anything wrong" did not even bother me. It's the "I have forgiven him" that made me nearly swear for the girl.

Sonnobax15:

Sexxx sexxx sexxx . What a generation! So,of all the problem wey dey this life,na limitation of sexxx by your wife be your major problem? . The same wife that produced two beautiful kids for you....And to even imagine that some kangaroos here are advising the op to marry another wife can't just beat my imagination . Op,if you like,make you go use your own hands take scatter your marriage all because of say your wife ain't giving your too much of sexxx.

Oga, I want to learn from you o -
Have you experienced the pain of being denied intimacy by the only person that should legitimately give it to you before? How did you handle it? Please respond so we can drink from your wealth and well of wisdom.

PS... I do not support infidelity for any reason.

Righteousness2:
The word " Christianity " has been bastardized in this generation.
People engage in evil, abominations and wickedness and claim Christianity.

Fear GOD ALMIGHTY. HIS eyes are too pure to behold iniquity.
GOD ALMIGHTY is Good, loving , kind and merciful. But don't forget, He is also a consuming Fire.

Pastor, I didn't notice where she claimed or professed to be a Christian. Maybe we should really start our questions with the issue of having "Christian" and "Only Fans" in the same sentence.

Jennyclay:
The most funny thing about this Hakimi saga is that broke, poor and wretched men that don't even have single property are the ones putting this matter on their head like gele . #1 they don't have, they can't even send common 5k to their girlfriend/wife to buy common body cream.

Shame!! Shame!! Shame!!!!!!

1. Any lady waiting for handout to buy body cream is not worth dating. Being a girlfriend is not an occupation.
2. Have ladies paused for a second to thing about the origin of (or the strength behind) the Hakimi coup? It is a woman.

So instead of abusing men (broke men or stingy men, yoruba demon, red piller or even SIMP), maybe women should call an emergency general meeting to address how you will support yourselves in the future.

Artzdanielsz:

You made used of undies in your sentences a lot instead of boxers and also holey pants. Over here it will be hard to see a man on pant. Just my observation not beefing.

Bros, na one bush ajepako guy dey write here o. make I no lie, I never heard of boxers until I was out of secondary school. when I was growing up, older males wore "dross", which looked gross because of the way it looked. So I won't talk about boxers if I'm talking about my younger days. Till date, I still have more men's briefs (which I called pants) than boxers.
