Nairaland General › Re: What's That Argument You Can Never Involve Yourself In? by jelel6: 11:26pm On Dec 08, 2022
All the ladies thinking arguing about politics is beneath them, I hope they won't complain later that no woman is ever present when critical decisions are made in the boardrooms.

The top seats at the table are taken, not given.

1. Politics. Never ever.

2. Anything that involves money. If there’s an argument that involves money, I’d walk away Somehow, any money I lose in an unfair situation ends up coming back to me with the other party suffering a significant loss. It is not juju or anything…just what I’ve observed over time.
Really, shocked

Politics › Re: Labour Party Hints At Increasing Minimum Wage To ₦‎80,000-₦‎100,000 by jelel6: 7:41pm On Dec 08, 2022
jjxxx:
Cost of governance will be drastically reduced. Do u know presently the benefits of 109 senators can raise workers salary to between 40k to 50k as minimum wage? And we also have 360 rep members. Imagine cutting down their bonuses and other agencies and ministries merged together so as to reduce cost. The money for governance alone can give civil servants better life.
For the sake of argument, let's say Mr Obi wins the presidential election. That'd mean we have a president without up to 10 senators or reps in his ruling labour party, how's he going to convince opposition senators to reduce their salaries and bogus allowances, something Buhari and Jonathan couldn't achieve when their party was in the majority.

The national assembly have one of the highest costs of governance, but the people who can ultimately reduce that cost are those benefitting from it - senators and reps.

Klass99:
I am glad you had the presence of mind to know that wasn't right, your hubby was wrong and you moved out with your girls until there was a resolution. If you don't mind my asking how old was your brother-in-law when this happened?

The bolded parts of your post are things I will never understand about most Nigerian men and Nigerian marriages. I have said it on a different thread, that a man's siblings (especially the lazy and entitled types) are the ones who do more harm than good to his financial health and overall well-being, not his wife and kids.

But some of you dey marry into wondaful families and households sha. My father is the first born child in a family of 8, what I saw growing up in his house, will not allow me marry men like him or your husband. Even if Angel Gabriel tells me that such a man is my ordained husband, I will jump and pass.

After reading your post I can't help thinking....... Singlehood is pure bliss fah. smiley
The bolded seem like a separate statement away from your overall message to the lady you quoted, thus my reply...

Certainly, a husband's priority should be the immediate family comprising his wife and kids. And I think most Nigerian husbands expend all their might (both financially and mentally) on making sure that their families have a comfortable life.

But that doesn't mean the little extra that husband can do for others, he should withhold because he now has a wife and kids. If that'd be allowing some members of his relatives stay with him, or a little token here and there, what's so wrong with that that you can't understand about (reflective) Nigerian men? Besides, the wives are more likely to bring over their own siblings in Nigerian marriages compared to the husbands.

Some of these husbands had wonderful relationships with their siblings when they were young. It's a good thing that many men still recognise the effforts of their parents to foster a harmonious relationship between siblings - which they should cherish for as long as it's reasonable.


If you prefer not to be with firstborns because they may shoulder extra responsibilities, that's understandable. Especially for someone who prefers the single life. But don't make it look like people who prefer to keep in touch with their roots are not being selfish enough. It's not that Klassy to me.

1. If you are a lady seeing this; please note, "am is not the same thing as I'm"

2. "Am" reduces your value irrespective of who you are, when you keep writing "am this, am that instead of "I'm this, I'm that"

3. "Am" is not a short form of I'm!.

3. I'm is the correct word to use, stop writing .

Health › Re: 1-Year-Old Boy Drowns After Falling Into Bucket Of Water In Anambra (Pix, Video) by jelel6: 3:14pm On Dec 05, 2022
Sad story.

It's hard to watch small kids hoping you'll keep them away from danger. It's easier to keep danger away from them.

Instead of collecting water in (closed) buckets and baths, I think a better idea will be to use jerry cans which only adults can access the water in them. Even adults can forget to close those big baths or buckets after using the water in them, talk less of younger children.

This type of accident is more common than most think as it has also taken the life of a neighbor's son.

Looks really good. I reckon it'll taste even better.

I guess the scent leaves has to be added in small quantity because it has such a strong aroma that it might put people off.

I'll try this but without the scent leaves. My major problem is usually gathering all the ingredients - just hate the markets nowadays.

Education › Re: Should I Report This Secondary School Students Always Making Love After School? by jelel6: 6:45pm On Dec 03, 2022
Alinna230:
I'm not a kid or youth.
I have female daughter and I just can't imagine it's my daughter.

If I like it, why am I asking how to handle it here
I'm not a lawyer, but the fact that you recorded or took images of minors (less than 18) engaging in real or simulated sexual activities means you are in possession of child pornography. This is a serious crime and something that can put people in prison for a long time, especially in the west.

Some people are so quick to bring out their phones and start snapping pictures of people in compromising situations without their consent, which is bad and unlawful, and can cause long-lasting damages than the initial crimes they may have committed.


How sure are you that nobody has accidentally come across those videos of the secondary school students on your phone?

You can see people already urging you to post the proofs here, it's certainly something some idiots would want to watch just for the sake of it.

And that's why I have to question your motive of recording their activities as "proof". Proof for whom exactly? It's only the internet that needs proof in this particular case - certainly not a 50 year old plus principal who have probably seen or heard it all.

Or you think the idea of teenagers staying back after school to mess around is so unbelievable?

Honestly?

Most women feel they are queens that deserve the best from life. Cars, diamonds and vacations.

Most women get into a regular marriage with the notion that some day the man will be rich and they will live the lives of rich men’s wives. No woman who agrees to marry a regular man believes that the man will be average forever.

When the scales fall from their eyes, they become bitter at the sight of rich men’s wives in their expensive cars. So no matter what you, you haven’t began even doing.

It’s like a man who married an ugly woman because of status, infatuation or love, after a while you will become bitter when the scales fall from your eyes and you can’t show off your wife like other men.

The average man will keep getting asked that question until you give your woman the last drop of blood in your body.



These rules apply to only shallow people, but then most people are shallow.
Interesting take.

From a financial perspective, I can understand the frustration such women may have when they realized the dream of opulence is looking rather unlikely. But I don't think even stinky rich men are spared from such outbursts. Because how rich is going to be rich enough for such people?

Besides, the incident with that lady had nothing to do with money at all, neither was financial gains the basis for our friendship. And yet...THAT question came!


I just think THAT question is always coming when the entitled inevitably gets a NO to some demands or expectations. Simply a classic case of ungratefulness.

It just so happens that the majority of the time, the average human (women) demands or expectations are going to be financial.


Taking the cue from you, I'll go as far as saying Entitled people === superficial, shallow minded people.

I have a question...my guy doesn't call me but when I call him, he picks. He's not based in Nigeria. Do I continue calling him or I should stop?
Only you can't continue to do the calling alone, he has to meet you halfway. The next time you talk, let him know that he needs to put more effort and prioritize communication with you. That's the least you both can do since you're so far away.

Then, stop calling and let him do the calling.

You no wan talk say you Na you de spend on her steady abi … hehe grin
Spend on her? I know somebody will misconstrue the "issues". That "issue" has nothing to do with money, my friend. Not everything has to do with spending money.


Negotiated desire is never genuine. Money can get you a woman but won’t keep her. Seek out for the one who respect you for who you are… recognize the fact I didn’t use “love”
I probably shouldn't reply to this because your opinion is based off of assumptions. But you seem to honestly ignorant so permit me...

I know that because I posted this on a thread about marriage, it'd seem that she's my girl, which is not the case.

If you had read my initial post attentively, you'd have seen where I said we weren't involved romantically. She wasn't my girlfriend. I didn't ask her to be my girlfriend. I never wanted her to be my girlfriend. No be everything about man and women be lovey-dovey. Atleast, not with me.

The reason I narrated that incident was because a guy-friend go hardly say something like "watin you done ever help me with", unlike the women dem.

As for your advice @bolded, even though it's a little out of place, you're 100% right and I agree with you.

I think they intentionally do that, and they do that when they feel you have nothing left to offer them.

They prolly don't want to make it look like they chop and clean mouth, so they just reverse it, and scatter everything by saying you never did anything for them.

Even my elder sister don do am for me too before.

Women are all like that.
You know even women in marriages say such too. So, it's not entirely when they feel a relationship is going nowhere that they may resort to such tactics.

His daughter claiming independent business woman under his roof, even converting one of the rooms in his house to a chicken coop. But still she does not respect this man.
That's the ultimate fear for a regular man I think. To raise rebellious adult children with their own hands.

It is because Women only truly appreciate those who satisfy them in bed, as in back to back orgasms and making her cum and squirt....... grin grin grin

If you buy a woman many houses, cars, with huge cash gifts, and even give her the whole world without sexually satisfying her, she will ask u dat question...... grin grin grin

If you are sexually satisfying her without giving her shi shi, plus even beating her and treating her bad, she will never ask u dat question... grin grin

Women don't use fvck to play...... grin grin

A woman can't ask a guy sexually satisfying her dat question, sex is something else for women .........e.g the cheating wives on nairaland can never ask der side boyfriend's this question....... grin grin

Politics › Re: El-Rufai Reaffirms Support For Tinubu by jelel6: 11:36am On Nov 25, 2022
TheFacelessMan:
grin

Tinubu won APC Primaries in a landslide despite President + Vice President + Senate President + Party Chairman opposing him...

That's the same way he will flog other aspirants.

Like him or hate him but the guy is a thorough bred politician. He's a Grandmaster that can beat you in several different ways.

El Rufai, Akeredolu, Fayemi and Amosun ALL publicly opposed and made humiliating remarks. What was his response now and then? SILENCE. Question is how exactly did he make them all fall in line ?

How much money will you offer a Governor who got 250 million naira monthly for 8 good years in security votes PLUS other billions?

Obviously, BAT made them offers they couldn't refuse.

Mark my words, Nigeria wouldn't become USA overnight but either Atiku or Tinubu will fix long running issues like ASUU, National ID card etc.

Why ? Both men are ruthless and crafty. They are both named crooks but give either a chance. After all, The Saint failed woefully.

Nigeria needs a Leader who's a "rugged crook" not a Saint because at least 150 million behave like animals.

Tinubu can be a diplomat or warrior as the situation demands.

Peter Obi didn't face 1/1 trillion of challenges Tinubu faced before Obi ran from PDP primaries.
Actually, I've started seeing things from your perspective.

I actually hoped Buhari would be different but I think he had his shortcomings. After eight years, I think Buhari couldn't enforce or follow through whatever plans he had. He seem to lack will in some areas, or don't just have the decisiveness and astuteness to direct people to enforce his will.

Atiku and Tinubu, on the other hand, are stubborn, strong-willed, decisive, and can be ruthless, by nature and by design.

They don't seem like the type of men who would dribbled by people around them, unless they allow it. And that's the biggest difference with Buhari, who's not a politician. If they are convinced about a matter, they'll move heaven and earth to achieve it. We just have to hope those matters will benefit the masses.


I'll look forward to the years ahead after either of them is sworn in.

There are many married men all over the world living double lives Even in developed first world countries , so it's possible for her not to know her husband is into kidnapping , and a killer , so if she's innocent she doesn't deserve any punishment whatsoever , been punishment for being the man's wife and giving the man information about her work place and boss , which every woman does , doesn't make sense
Well, from the police investigation, she's alleged to be an informant. Her case is far from the unaware wife at this point. Odds she's involved somewhat. Let Justice be served either way.

Only if you have evidence of their marriage certificate which profiles the man as Mr kidnappers and former fraudster


Plus her husband having 30 million in his account doesn't mean she's aware of the money ,if the money was in her account then could have said so
I agree, perhaps legally, there are grey areas to answer clear up. But practically speaking, it's almost inconceivable that she has no knowledge about her husband's criminal practices.

I don't expect her to get the same punishment as the husband and actual killlers. But she'll serve jail time -even in a develop country with stronger judiciary, it'd be hard for her to go scout free, talkless of Nigeria.

Yes, it's normal to discuss work with your husband. But it's not normal to live with a kidnapper. Did she not know what her loving husband is into? Abi she think the husband dey manufacture money from paper until e reach 30m plus?
