FamilyRe: My Husband And His Mother!!! by john650(m): 3:15pm On Jun 08, 2019
I don't understand why the lady should dictate to what city her husband should work in because she is afraid his parents will follow him to New York and ruin her nice arrangement. Why can't his family pull resources together to pay for his parent's accommodation in Maryland while he moves to NY to be with his wife and kids since she's refused to move to Maryland?

The man is trying to get close his wife and kids while his wife is finding ways to keep the family apart. If it continues the way it is going, divorce would be knocking on their door.

Nigerian wives never like their husband's in-law's. It is a well known fact. If it were her parents in this situation, she'll be asking them to move in with them.

Who sponsored the hit? Mostly likely someone she knows or business gone bad.
The name Betty Jennifer isn't a real name. No one answers two first names in America. Looks like she was hiding something. The police will find out who she really was and the events that led to her death.

I wonder what she got herself in into?

PolymathDave:
I support this movement.
I'm a man.


My fellow brethren

It's not like they want this all of a sudden on a platter of Gold.
In Nigeria's political system today. it is extremely hard for a woman to get Just through the primaries in a party... talk less about now winning a seat. because these parties... intentionally don't want them to win seats especially the Muslim north oligarchy.

This time our women are going to fight for their spot in Nigeria's affairs.

I'm very proud of them.

I wish them all the best.
Nigerian women should focus on gaining economic power before seeking political power. Start businesses that will be succesful. Then vie for political office. That's how the men do it. No man will give up his position for you.
PoliticsRe: Ganduje Speaks On Balkanization Of Kano Emirate by john650(m): 4:54pm On May 10, 2019
It is a sad day in Northern Nigeria that one man can single handedly change the way a people have been ruled within a span of five days without any opposition, not even from the legislature that is supposed to be a check on the the executive arm of government.

I am also appalled that the head of our government, Mohammad Buhari could not intervene to stop a process that cleary have been hijacked by Ganduje and his lackeys to change the way a people have been ruled for hundreds of years without any debate and contribution by groups or civil society. Everyone who has been following the story of Ganduje knows the man is not even fit to govern his household. He is a symptom of what ails Nigeria. Even with his systemic corruption, he was still voted in for a second term, or was he really. After all he is APC. Shame on Buhari and his cohorts.

CrimeRe: Lady Collapses In Lagos Court After Being Sentenced To Death (Photos) by john650(m): 10:39pm On May 07, 2019
Nigeria really needs to review its capital punishment laws.

Was the death of her neighbour pre-meditated (planned) or an accident, resulting from a fight?

In the very worst case, the courts should have seen this as manslaughter and apportioned appropriate prison sentence. Death sentence is simply overkill and serves no purpose. It won't stop fights between neighbours or accidental deaths resulting from these fights.

And the other matter, did he travel from Imo to Anambra with just N17,000? That's pathetic.

BusinessRe: Dangote Is Selling Dangote Flour Mills For N130 Billion ($361.11 Million) by john650(m): 10:19pm On Apr 23, 2019
john650:
The question is what do the Indian companies know that Nigerian companies don't? If Dangote is selling his flour mill business because it is loss making but Crown Flour mill owned by Olam is profitable, how come Dangote Flour hasn't learnt from Crown Flour?

Some of the reasons Dangote Flour mill gave for its loss making include Apapa gridlock and cross border smuggling. If that is the case, why isn't Crown Flour Mills impacted by the same problem? Also, what is the Nigerian government doing to address the gridlock in Apapa as well as the cross border smuggling? I thought Dangote was rebuilding the roads leading to the port in Apapa? Why hasn't that helped ease his business challenges?

Every Nigerian should be concerned about the sale of a wholly owned Nigerian company to a foreign entity. The income earned by these foreign firms will end up leaving the shores of Nigeria adding to our currency challenges. Also, the flour mill business will become monopolistic in nature, whereby the industry is controlled by two firms leading to higher prices for the consumer.

Nigeria has a new competition law. I feel this would be a good opportunity to review if this sale would be the best thing for consumers and the nation. Every effort should be made to help the company avoid being sold to a foreign firm. The government should rise up to its responsibilities and fix the infrastructural challenges, assuming that is the real problem that is making our companies fail while the foreign firms are succeeding.

We are all destroying this country by our actions and in actions and hoping we can run away somewhere that majority have used theur brains. I hope everybody country ban Nigerians. When we have nowhere to go, we'd agree to think.
Thank you my brother. Anyone thinking that running away to Britain will change their life for the better should just read the responses from the Brits on this thread. The people you're running to don't like you or want you. You will have the hardest time making it there.

CrimeRe: Men Kill Taxi Driver In Rivers, Bury Him In A Bush After Boarding His Car by john650(m): 11:32pm On Mar 25, 2019
I'm sorry to say this but Rivers State is not a safe place to live. The state government is so poorly run that it has given rise to all types of vices - kidnapping, cultism, political thuggery, armed robbery among others. It is really a shame because it used to be a beautiful and peaceful state.

How can these people bury a man alive just because they want to steal his car? They could have just taken the car and left the man alone. There is no sense of humanity in these people.

You are dead wrong. If they cannot serve Nigerians in Nigeria, their licence to operate a restaurant should be revoked immediately and they should be put on the next available flight out of the country. There is no place in Nigeria for racial discrimination. If we don't start teaching these foreigners how to behave in our country, it will only get worse.
CrimeRe: Ruona Meyer: Olufunke Phillips Is A Cocaine Trafficker Evading Trial by john650(m):
This Meyer woman is so spiteful. Bringing up old news just to get at a woman who has surmounted many challenges and a person you once had a business relation and whom by your own admission you severed ties with to uphold your integrity. I see Ms. Meyer as a very jealous loser. Just because you failed at a business and your friend succeeded does not mean you own the idea. No one owns a business idea. If people were to own business ideas, then we'll only have one business serving the entire public. Think of having just one barber for the entire Nigeria because barbing was originated by one person. Can you see how that will not lead to business growth of an industry or the economy. If you go to court you will loose.

Ms. Phillip's problem with the NDLA is with them, not your business to remind them Ms. Phillips is a fugitive. All I see here is malice.

While no American airline has grounded the MAX 8, the British Government is not having any of it. Not only have they grounded all British airlines from flying the MAX 8, they have restricted any foreign airline from flying the MAX 8 over British airspace until further notice.

No she has to make another music and a video...ha ha, excuses, excuses. Story for the gods. She must be God's gift to men that she can get married when she wants. Unless she already has someone who is understanding to her plight on standby, she is making a grave mistake. When she is ready, there will be no one available. She has to then go out looking or should I say make herself available. Age is not on her side. Before she knows it, 33 will turn to 35, 38, and her market value continues to fall. There is a time for everything.

donstan18:
That man is a disgrace to his mother and to men out there.

Believe me, the disrespectful wife insulted her mother-inlaw because she knows how foolish her husband is.

And yes, the husband proved his foolishness by recording and filming them instead of cautioning his wife.
No, the man is not foolish. He knows if he were to intervene on behalf of the mother, he would be arrested by the police for assault on the wife. The Western world has given so much power to women that men are afraid to touch them. Even a threat of using force on a woman can land a man in jail.

With that said, a wife who insults their mother in-law today will be insulted by a wife to their son tomorrow. If you are a man and see your girlfriend does not like or respect your mother while still dating, it is foolhardy to expect she will respect her once you are married. That is the time to get rid of the girlfriend and find someone who has respect for them. A woman who doesn't respect your parents has no respect for you.

God should've make it a law if you are poor don't marry because our girls of now doesn't have regard for there hubby if you can't buy them golden things and is not advisable to marry village girl.

Men will fuel their car
Pay house rent
Children upbringing
Supply food
Electricity bill, etc.

Ifvyou check all this things you will know baby mama is still the best.
The things you listed only take place in Nigeria and the rest of Africa. Why do you think we can't get rid of corruption? It's because of the stupid support system were wife, her parents, the man's extended family all depend on the man.

In the Western world, the woman contributes immensely to the upkeep of the family. They work and understand the need to take on some financial responsibility in the family.
FamilyRe: Italian lady with a Nigerian mother complains about being a victim of racism by john650(m): 10:46pm On Feb 21, 2019
Netanyahu1:
I don't know what you call racism, but it's still better than tribalism in Nigeria. Please don't quote me if you have not experienced life in both continent and sound critical thinking abilities.
No, racism is worse. In Nigeria, people generally respect you even if they despise your ethnic group. But in the whiteman's land, they generally don't respect a black person. While it is frowned upon to call people derogatory names, they still find ways to do it. Racism is institutionalised, meaning that as long as the African continent is still struggling with development, the whiteman's sees the blackman as an extension of the Continent's backwardness. Also remember that black people at a time were sold as slaves to Europeans and in the Americas. Although the practice has since stopped, they still see the blackman as a lower being. No matter how succesful you've become in Europe or America, the whiteman will still look down on you as being inferior and not worthy to be respected.

You are discriminated on jobs, housing, at times, even simple things like going to visit a friend in a neighbourhood where there are no blacks. The police will show up out of nowhere and start asking you silly questions like why you are there as if you have come to steal something.

DoTheNeedful:
My Observations

1. The woman is lazy and she is a liar. She claims to be a graduate of York University yet her English is very watery. They should deport
her;she is a disgrace.

2. The White guy who interviewed her is a terrible racist. He couldn't hide his hatred from Africans.


3. It's not only Africans that beg. I was shocked when I saw a White lady with two children begging for alms in front of a Walmart store
somewhere in the US. Up till that day, I never knew a White could beg to eat in a country like America.


I feel ashamed of this lazy and greedy woman though. I wish like tearing her better slap. undecided
She's not lazy. You don't know her circumstances. Just because she has a degree from a Canadian university does not translate to an automatic job. The system is stacked against foreigners, especially ones from Africa. Racism is endemic in the Western world. Haven't you had of foreigners with PHDs in the hard sciences driving taxi in Canada or US? Will you consider them lazy?
