RomanceRe: How Did You Find Out That You're Being Cheated On? by JohnOkolo: 12:00am On Sep 28, 2020
martyns303:
Guy called and she couldn't talk properly, she was saying "hmm" "OK" "yes" "ok". snatched the phone from her and put it on speaker, the guy wasn't happy with her about something, he was yelling at her through the phone "is this how u used to talk to me"? "hello, hello!!!!!" I ended the call, she kneeled down and started begging.

Called the guy later with my phone, talked to him as man and he opened up and gave me the whole rundown. I died 1001 times within 5mins.

Oh! did I mention we had been dating for 6yrs?
Come and collect a Trophy for dating so long. So you were dating a Nigerian Girl for 6yrs and your mother never told you, you weren't the only one she sleeps with and call the same pet names.

Welcome to Nigeria where God created all the Hoes, Prostitutes and Cheap Shit Ladies and dump them here for us to pick and die.

LINTUNE:
no woman has the right or moral jurisdiction to do such..if she can't forgive him, then life must go on, let them go thier separate ways, or are u trying to justify extreme violence in marriage?..madam never let ur emotions cloud ur judgment..
Extreme violence exists in relationship.

Newton 3rd states for every action, they is an opposite direction reaction.

If your wife kills you for you been so stupid and bringing insult to her name, it's something you deserve and if after her investing her time and effort in making a home with you was built on lies and deceit just pray you don't meet people who have very thin skin for bullshit.

They will kill you for your Mother who failed to instill good and moral behavior in her Son, and wait for your God to do his job of Judgement.

Except it's an open relationship, then you know it's both consenting adults, if not you are joking with you life for acting with considering your spouse Emotions.

House plz don't mind my English

I have been married for ten years plus now, we have 3 kids. we are living in peace till date, but these days I find myself cheating on my wife with another woman, now the strang woman is pregnant for me, I tried advising her the other way round but she declined saying I should just go and leave her with her pregnancy, that she will be fine. Dear house, how can my wife wake up one day and discovered I have a child out of wedlock and to her I am a saint? My strang woman on the other hand said she want a child from me so that after I go she can be seeing me, that at her age she can not abort even though she have two kids with her ex Husband.
What will I do to save my marriage? Am afraid my wife will be troubled if she finds out.
Go Bleep another Enstrange Woman and get her pregnant.

Is when you finish getting them pregnant that they become Enstrange and you remember you have a Woman at Home you called Wife.

What can we advice a Fool other than continue in your foolishness, cause at the end of your day, your Penis urge outways your Sense of Morality so you must go Bleep outside again.

Pls go and don't think your wife is stupid enough not to have noticed slight changes in you, even if she is not certain, She that got married to a Deceiver and Wolf in Sheep Clothing must get her mind ready for suspense, and drama.

Married Men and abortions are like 5&6, you can't control your senses and you think this is your last act of stupidity. Go and Bleep na, are you tired already? Go and get laid to another Lady and another and when you are done with them they become Enstrange Women.
RomanceRe: Pant Washing Controversy: Neo Isn't A Simp by JohnOkolo: 11:40pm On Sep 27, 2020
Zzor:
another pant washer spotted
That's the truth except she is not in the position to wash her clothes, maybe cause of illnesses or Injuries.

But they are so little, so why are they so hard to wash.

It's not a crime to live a free life and do what's best for you.

If you date an open minded and loving person, you will see past your Self-centered and Greed life. But be careful as a Man and always draw the line cause Ladies are born Stupid and they will adapt to all situations, this Vee make dey give Someone pants to wash, go see another Guy and She will take all the bullshit and do all the Chores no questions.

So it's just how you want your relationship to be, and the kind of partner you have if the person understands Selflessness, and Love.

Cause nothing is more annoying when you see the person who you show so much care for and love for is Greedy, Manipulative, Selfish and Self-centered, she will never see the Love in what you do cause she deserves less Love.

RomanceRe: Pant Washing Controversy: Neo Isn't A Simp by JohnOkolo: 11:17pm On Sep 27, 2020
Elder0001:
2 days ago I came across a thread on fp about Neo washing his babe (Vee's) Pant. 99% of the male folks on that thread called him a simp and all sorts.
Neo isn't a simp, I'll tell y'all why.



Washing your lady's pants/clothes doesn't make you a simp. Women cook and wash boxers/clothes for their men and it seems cool to these men but it's wrong for a man to do the same for his lady?
If you can't help your partner with stuff you need to re-evaluate that relationship.

A man cooks or washes stuff for his wife and Nigerian male folks will call him a simp but it's not bad when a woman does the same for a man? Or are y'all trying to say women who do such stuffs for their men overvalued those men?

It's quite sad that Nigerians always abuse any new word they're introduced to, same way y'all abused the words "feminist, misogynist and misandrist". And now it's time to abuse the word "simp".

After calling Neo a simp for washing his babe's Pant you'll log off social media and tell your lady to wash your boxers for you, seems smart to you huh?

It seems the word "hypocrisy" was specifically created for Nigerians especially the male folks.

I know one bumpkin would call me a simp after reading this.
Oga do what's best for you.

If you like Wash her mother's pants join hers.

But the problem is which of the Pants do you mean Panties (G-string,) or Pants Trousers cause they are all Pants.

If it's the G-string own that guy washed he acted just as he was wired to do. Can't blame him but I may not act the same way he did.

Where are the evidence of the guy commiting the offense.

You called someone for work and end up jailing him, why did the management not take the case to the police.

14yrs old girl will go to a Hotel and the Hotel was not shut down.

Nigeria is a joke but the inhabitants >95% are the worst jokes of all.
Don't be fooled by their status or wealth. Just listen to them and how they dwell in folly.

Everyone hear is saying Castrate, Kill him, Bastard and all, It's the guys that have more to lose cause in the future, present because the government failed to educate it's people on our Constitution.

You will hear people using the Bible, Quran, as yardsticks to say what's right or wrong, what guides us is our constitution.

It's better all our Church's, Mosques and Traditional Herbalist teaches the Constitution than them praying to their All knowing God cause that will help in spreading the Knowledge/Dos and Donts of the land and take away ignorance cause it's destroying everyone and everything and whenever you guys get to your God you follow Bible and Qur'an as you please, cause whether you all believe it or not Man will always fail.

CrimeRe: "She Enjoyed It" – Man Who Raped 14-Year-Old Girl For 1 Year Tells Police by JohnOkolo: 10:33pm On Sep 27, 2020
perryy:
In the eye of the law, the man is wrong, but in the eye of morality, the man is not wrong. He did not rape her in the true sense of rape. The girl claimed he warned her not to tell anyone about it, let assume the man was secretly slapping her and told her not to tell anyone, would she have consented ? Why did she consent to having sex with Patrick without telling anyone if not that she was actually enjoying it. Well, I thank God I was able to resist such temptation from a girl this age in 2007. Some of those girls are evil ,and I hate scandal.

I resisted it not because I am better than Patrick, but because I hate scandal and I don't want to involve in any police wahala for a crime initiated by a JSS 3 student. I have to run and I thank God I did. No one would have believed she initiated the deal. When you are having sex with your wife in the presence of your children living in the same room with you,what do you expect?
I concur.

Imagine what those Children have learnt hearing Dad's and Mom's Special Moan and Giggles.

Most were victims to this situations at tender ages.

But the law is the law. That's why it's stricter to any failing adult. Someone have to be held liable. This is "Statutory Rape" in the eyes of the law.

You sound so much like an someone who is uncultured and have little or no education ( Maybe dropout from JSS3 maybe lower or a bit higher ).

And if you went to the University or Polytechnic or College of Education you were obviously those that will Bleep for grades, do Exam cheat (EXPO) almost all through your days in Tertiary institution.

We are not in a Banana Republic as so many block headed Nigerians think.

The law and the Constitution gives the verdict, it was never left for dead brains like you cause you will see no wrong in his actions.

"Statutory Rape" is the word. Whether she consented, wear mini skirt, show you the vagina and rush and give you a Mouth Gig.

It is what it is, we all have to learn to follow the law or atleast know what our Laws and Constitution says about our actions.

Ayodejioak:
Before we blame Mr. Patrick...

This is consensual. Infact, she said she enjoyed it for a whole year.

Now

Asides the fact that we need to enlighten the girl's parents about the meaning of RAPE, we also need to reprimand them on how they have failed to train their child.

Mind you, what's bad isn't good.

Mr. Patrick had sexual relationship with a minor

By law, this is a punishable offense in most countries of the world

I'm not sure about Nigeria
You have no idea what the law of Nigeria says about Raping a Minor. Whether she begged you and you filmed her begging you for sex, it's still rape once she is underage. The name is called "Statutory Rape".

So dishing out shitty words and confuse people further. Learn before you speak

That scenery of lush green rolling hills stretches right up into the mambilla and right into Cameroon!

The main problem why it’s not patronised as much as it should would be the issue of security and the fact Nigerians don’t usually do holiday the way families do abroad! Our own idea of holiday is either to go abroad if you can afford it; or alternatively, iga obodo (you pack the entire family off to go visit grandma in the villa)! Obudu cattle ranch doesn’t feature in our plans unfortunately!

Discovery4today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48oO26DXUCA

#EDO2020: OKOROCHA HAILS EDO PEOPLE FOR VOTING AGAINST INJUSTICE

When I saw Adams Oshiomole with Hope Uzodimma Leading the campaign I knew there will be no victory for APC- Rochas said
The President, Rochas Foundation International and former Governor of IMO State, Senator Rochas Okorocha has congratulated the people of EDO for standing firmly against oppression by the dissolved executive council of the APC which led to the defection of Governor Obaseki to another party.

Okorocha insisted that some politicians have taken advantage of PMB’s honesty and patriotism to perpetuate unprovoked chaos and confusion in the party by neglecting the founding fathers of the APC stressing that he had forewarned of the catastrophe that might plaque the party urging Mr President to step-in to avert the total collapse of the APC.

He said;”It is not only PDP members that voted for Obaseki even APC members also voted for him.EDO people did not vote for APC or PDP,they voted against injustice. Edo people are not docile. They voted for justice to be done in EDO state”.
So because APC did not support the continuation of your Dynasty by supporting your Son-in-law you are saying trash.

APC and APC Supporters are Leaders are grateful for Adams Oshiomole as stated by Our Party National Leader Bola Tinubu that Adams Oshiomole helped APC secured a resounding 2015 Election Victory by taking charge as the party internal affairs and pushing away all those seeking to destroy the Party cause of sheer greed.

This is an anti-party statement, ever since your plans were foiled you have remained neither there nor here.

You are irrelevant to APC cause and our cause to place Nigeria on a progressive path

PoliticsRe: Edo: What Caused The Peaceful Outcome Of The Election & Federal Might Absence? by JohnOkolo: 6:12pm On Sep 20, 2020
Sleevia:
From all indications, Obaseki has won this election but two things stood out unexpectedly

1. It was generally peaceful

2. There was zero federal might influence.

What do you think is the reason behind this?

I would hazard a guess and I am open to correction.

A: The U.S visa ban restricted federal influence, which Oshiomole, Ganduje and Tinubu were banking on. I was on twitter when I read that order has been given that there should be no interference in the election. This was why, after votes at the PU were done, all security agents, from Army to Police and others LEFT.

B. The Oba of Benin meeting. Before the election, Oba invited both contestants for a meeting where he specifically warned against violence in whatever form. I often read from outsiders that Oba of Benin is just like any oba out there but what majority do not know is the weight the Oba of Benin carries among his people and this election further proved that.

Since the APC took power, this is the most peaceful election we have had...

The question is WHY?

Please join the discussion and I would like to learn from other persons and correct me where you feel I am wrong.
You can imagine your stupidity, thought you quoted you were on Twitter and got the information or Order from above that no one should rig the election.

So Twitter app can make such statement? Or it was your deluded mind telling you crazy shit.

Go back and listen again, the voice that said no rigging should tell you why.

I have been a Supporter of APC right from when we had only Lagos and Never moved to another Party even if I never registered as a party member from day one.

The party is bigger than any individual since you must contest from a Political party platform and any Politician must play along with the party he is using their platform.

And PDP is a party of impunity and anyone associated with the party bears the stains.

Supreme Court is the final and highest Court in Nigeria.

If those wise Judges find Obaseki victory or his certificate forgery or anything that can disqualify him and hand over the victory to the runner up, INEC will obey the Supreme Court and the Constitutional authority, just like PDP won Bayelsa Election from the Supreme Court Verdict and all APC supporters accepted our fate after the announcement was made.

Hope you remember how PDP harass and remove our Judges while they were in Federal Power.

APC is a party where everyone abides by the tenet of democracy and uphold the Constitution above every interest.

So you will accept your fate once such verdict comes from the Highest Court.

Well Supreme Court is still alive.

Adams Oshiomole and the APC NWC disqualified Obaseki for a reason.

They must get to the bottom of it and declare the runner-up winner in this election. If that doesn't happen it shows Adams Oshiomole handed over Edo State to the Opposition PDP and we can't keep losing states and Powers we once occupied.

PoliticsRe: Imo Contractors Protest Over Unpaid Debts (Photos, Video) by JohnOkolo: 12:17pm On Sep 18, 2020
[quote author=AlexReports post=94042444]SO SAD!!! Imo Contractors Protest Over Unpaid Debts. (Photos)

Aggrieved members of Imo State Registered Contractors yesterday protested over the non-payment of over N4.2 billion owed them by the Imo State Government.

The contractors, who protested in front of Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) in Abuja, said that they were awarded contracts by the immediate past governor of Imo STATE, Rt Hon. Emeka Ihedioha to execute a number of projects such as renovation of schools, construction of new schools (primary schools and junior secondary schools) before the administration was sacked by the Supreme Court. But Senator Hope Uzodinma, who succeeded him, pleaded with the contractors to continue their projects, a development that persuaded them to borrow money from their banks to complete the projects.

Some of the placards read: "Banks and financial institutions have taken over our property", "Save our property from creditors", "Contractors are dying of starvation", Interests on loans are piling," etc.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the Chairman of the contractors, Honourable Williams Ejiakor, said that the contractors protested in front of UBEC, because the commission is a major stakeholder and having supervised and released its own counterpart funds, the commission should prevail on the Imo State Government to pay them.

“We renovated schools, built new schools---primary schools and junior secondary schools. We have 261 renovations and new buildings, as well as 23 boreholes and desks. The contract was awarded by the immediate past governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha. We did the jobs on January 14, 2020. When the new governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma came on board, he made a nationwide broadcast on January 16, 2020, and urged us to go back to site and finish our jobs. We obliged him, only to be told in March when some of us had finished our jobs that he was not going to pay.

"The annoying part of it is that the fund for this job is domiciled in Owerri branch of Zenith Bank. Our members are suffering. We can no longer pay our bills. We lost one of our members three week ago, because she could not afford to pay her medical bills.

"So, we have come to Abuja to seek help from UBEC as a senior partner in this matter to prevail on Imo State Government to pay us our money, because a worker deserves his wages. Those jobs followed all known due processes, ” he said.

According to Ejiakor, UBEC has advised the governor to pay them, but the governor is insisting that he would not pay for contracts awarded by Emeka Ihedioha.

“The management of UBEC has advised the state government to pay us. Why he has refused to pay is what I don’t know. Most of us borrowed money from banks, and the interest is piling every day. We lost a woman three weeks ago. We are appealing to Senator Hope Uzodinma to temper justice with mercy and pay us our money. We did not commit any crime by working for the state. Government is a continuum,” the chairman noted.
