jmoore: Pretty Daughters.

Michelle looks gorgeous as usual.

Obama looks like a "stand-up president"

payless: These are fake chiefs from Ibo land. I didn't see feathers attached to the caps

The more feather you have the bigger you are in Ibo land

biodunid: I just sent the note below to Shoprite and hope they act on it but until they do I will suggest you read and safeguard yourself. If the security man had done a one to one check between my purchases and my receipt two months ago the Cashier would have denied I paid cash for the sneakers and I would have been up the creek without a paddle. Businesses that do not put in place adequate internal controls put us all at risk.

On two of my last three monthly visits to your store at Ikeja I have been told by the Cashier that certain medium value (N2,000 - N3,000) items couldn't be scanned and that I should pay Cash. The first time this happened I innocently complied but found that cash was taken and the item was handed over without entering it into the system or giving me any kind of receipt. On each of those occasions I had a trolley full of stuff. After the first incident it occurred to me that I (and you) had just fallen victim of a scam. Apparently your cashier was banking on the volume of items bought to ensure that the security men wouldn't and couldn't carry out a one to one check between receipt and purchases. The item in question the first time was a pair of canvas shoes costing about N3k.

The second time this was tried with me I was prepared. I had bought five packs of Second House nuts - 1 Hazel nut, 1 Walnut, 2 Pistachio and 1 Almond each costing about N2,500 in addition to everything else we had (dozens of cans of non alcoholic beer too). On getting to the end the Cashier said she couldn't scan two bags of nuts and asked me to pay Cash. I checked and found she was holding on to 1 bag of Almonds and 1 bag of Pistachio. I wondered why the Pistachio bag was unscannable when the 2nd bag of the same product had been successfully scanned. She initially argued that they were different but when I insisted she brought it out from the items already scanned and scanned it again. She then asked me to pay cash for the bag of Almonds still outstanding. I insisted she find a way to scan it or leave it out of my purchases. I wound up going home without Almonds that day.

This second incident happened just last Sunday and I trust my eclectic mix of purchases and my total bill which was N29k will suffice for you to search through your records in order to track down the culprit and set a trap for her. She wasn't the one that pulled a similar stunt on me two months back but hopefully you can make an example of her and fix this huge gap in your controls before they rob you blind and give Nigeria a worse name.

mikyke: Hello friends my name is IK, this was or still is the experience I had/am having as the case maybe. I may not be a constructive writer but will try to pass the message across in simple words and as short as possible.

Av been dating my girl for 3yrs now, and we both have bn so happy in it. During this period av never cheated on her as I promised to stay faithful; this may sound strange and impossible but believe when I say I did it. We stood by each other no matter what the problem was and have always come out even stronger than we went into such problem.

To cut the long gist short. About 3wks ago, I called her as usual to know how she was faring (she is based at kaduna while am based in Abuja) but she didn't not pick and did not call back after so many missed calls. This waas strange as it has never happened in our r/ship since we started dating. This prompted curiosity in me.

After about 2days she called me and was crying profusely and she said I quote "my knight I want a breakup I have messed myself up and not worthy of dating a guy like you, you are too nice to be treated the way I just did" and she hung up without allowing me say a word. I became so confused.

A breakup was the least I expected reason being that we were happy together. So many attempt to reach her failed. I called her elder sis and she said she left home since yesterday and is yet to be seen, I felt devastated and and couldn't concentrate @ work. Well after about 2 or 3 days I was lucky to reach her and told her to please calm down and explain wat hapend to me when I come to kaduna. The next day I was off to kaduna so bright and early and @ kaduna I got the shock of my life. When I asked her why a breakup that we've been so happy together in her words she said "my knight please forgive me. I messed up and am paying for my mistake. I cheated and now am pregnant". In my confused state, so many thoughts were running through my mind; could she be testing me? If not, has she bn cheating on me for the past 3yrs? Where did I get it wrong that she had to cheat on me? Haven't I given my all already in this r/ship? Those questions became rhetorical. Tears wasted no time rolling down my cheeks.

Crying profusely She knelt down and said " I know av lost you already but all I nid is your forgiveness". She also said the guy responsible ran away when she told him about the preg. I felt so angered but didn't utter a single word. In my mind a thought came up; how could something that has given me joy for the past 3yrs turn out to be a source of sadness and sorrow to me. I stood up said I forgive you, and left.

After about 2wks of restlessness, feeling betrayed and fooled which is about 4 days ago, I called her and told her I wanted her back, that I want to stand by her through this period like av always done in the past (I was ready to do so). Just to save her the shame I opted to be the father of the child. Despite her infidelity I was ready to continue loving her like nothing happened between us. I sent her 10k to register for antenatal care and buy somethings she needed for the mean time. Just yesterday my phone rang, it was her number calling when I picked she said "my knight, you just proved to me that real love still exists in this world. You were ready to take up another man's responsibility just for my sake despite knowing I cheated.

We have dated for 3yrs now and I wanted to be sure of what am seriously getting into, to know if you are worth waiting for and now I know you truly love me and am grateful to God for sending my way. I love you" and she dropped the call. I stared @ my fone for more than 2munites wondering what just happened. I was having a mixed feeling; happy that she wasn't preg or cheated and angry that I had to go through 2wks of agonizing pain and emotional torture just to prove my love. I stood dumbfounded for close to 10mins and finally said to myself man up and continue in it (r/ship).

N/B she sent back my 10k without being asked to just to prove that she wasn't in of it.

My question to the ladies is this. Will U go this extent just to know if your man loves you? And don't forget that you could lose even the right guy in this process. We see life differently as what works for Mr A may not work for Mr B.
For the guys what will you do if your girl plays this prank or stunt with you. Some how I feel like a fool but I love her and was willing to stand buy her.

Pls let's constructively admonish ourselves. Abeg no insult me coz I did as my head and heart said. Na pesin wey wear shoe knw wia e dey pain am.

icebebe: sup guys, this is what i wore to my sister's wedding yesterday, so i decided to share it.

I made what I'm wearing {in the pics}. Tell me what you think about me and the dress I made.


AND AGAIN I ROCK THE FP.TNX MOD,TNX FWENDS FOR YA COMMENTS WEDA GOOD.OR UGLY,ITS GLADDENS MA HEART,I LOVE U ALL.

rudian: have U tried viewing this the other way round, what if she was jst tryn to keep Obama focused on the purpose of that gathering, let's be honest chatting up a storm in a occasion that should be solemn, he was off track and like a wife who is used to seeing her husband do this sort of thing she took action and the result was on point. My view is Michelle was doing the right thing, I dnt tink she was jealous, I think she was protecting his image. If she hadn't done what she did, trust the media it would be agog with the news that Obama didn't respect Mandela and we would see a lot of allusions to the lack of respect for what Mandela fought for and Obama's ethnicity. Way to go Michelle, this just shows why they Say' behind every successful Man there is a Woman'!

rudedough: [b]I don't want to reply to your comment that is void of facts but hearsay. But know this.

The selfishness of your fathers are the reason why Nigeria Universities are like these. You have inherited that selfish give-me-for-free attitude from your father and you're already prepared to destroy your children's education in the future and if they too inherit your selfish free-for all attitude, it's going to continue a vicious circle.

Before you pick offense, let me explain to you how selfish your fathers were in the past. In 1964 we discovered oil, Population was 55,620,268. Government started building schools and declared it FREE-FOR-ALL our fathers were happy. They built railways, made it cheap everyone was happy. Built hospitals made it cheap our fathers were happy and everything else.

Fast forward to today, population 170,000,000 people.

Free-For-All railway don kpafuka, no money for maintenance.
Cheap Airport don kpafuka no money for maintenance.
Cheap Universities don kpafuka, no money for maintenance.
Toll-Free Bridges don kpafuka, no money for maintenance.
Toll-Free Roads don kpafuka, no money for maintenance.

Your "OUR OIL" mentality has so shattered your sense of reasoning, you don't think anymore before you write. All you "WE HAVE OIL" people forgets that our population now is 170,000,000 people and our oil export cannot sustain half of our population.

Your fathers caused the problem that we now suffer, don't spread the suffering to the next innocent generation. Pay for whatever the Govt gives you until the Govt is buoyant enough to subsidize our livelihood. SAY NO TO I-WILL-GIVE-YOU-FREE-UNIVERSITIES GOVERNMENT.

Okpuzu01: I am saying dat she shuld nt give her people money but I must be informed. Wotever I do for my mum, I let her know about it. We still have along way to go. Kids are coming, house rents n feedings are there. She has brothers who v grown to work to support their parents bt wnt work. They all believe in asking for money from her. I opened d business for her. Without my consent, she took money from it to pay her parents house rent.

Okpuzu01: I am happily married with one kid. My problem is that, my in laws v been mounting pressure on my wife for money. She gives money to them without my consent. I opened up a business wich eventually collapsed as a result of my wife giving her parents money from the business. Her whole families are depending on her to survive. I v seen that we can't make any meaningful progress in life if things continue the way they are. I v talked to my wife severally and yet, she is not ready to change. I am thinking of taking another wife.

ngozievergreen: what kind of nonsense is that?

@OP, I rep my alma mater unizik: I still feel its the cheapest.

homesteady: Once again HML to them!
This Uduaghan wife, it seems that she is a deeper life member! I've never seen her wearing makeup

obamartins: Wars are expensive to prosecute, u can't fight a war when the source of funding of the war is sabotaged. That's the irony of fighting the Ijaws. Fighting the Ijaws is like killing a mosquito on your scrotum, if u hit hard, u end up killing the mosquito and urself, if u don't hit hard, u will give the mosquito an opportunity to escape. The Nigerian Army is able to fight BH becus the source of funding the war on terrorism is not affected. The average ijaw man is warlike and has nothing to lose, he's not even afraid of death when fighting injustice.

Alexbond: why dnt u read on d nigeria civil war b4 write rubbish!Biafra received international back my friend country like canada supply dem foods n weapons also Isreal,UK supported dem to d fullest .furthermore am very sure u cant do more dan baifra cos dey r wiser n stronger dañ ur ijaw brodas.biafrans kill ed ova 45000 sojas of FRN n dey lose only 15000 sojas cos dey were favoured at d begining of d war with dere operation tiger claw. in addition u said u will block nigeria source of income but dnt forget dat is nt only ijaws dat produce d oil in naija also during a war food is d most important thing both for armies n citizen.abi una sojas go cari gun with empty stomach? did u guys ve d ariable land for farm? or enuf food in store? or international link? in a nut shell nigeria has everitin as at now dat will survive her for a civil dat we last two yrs.u cant start a war without adequate planing!

barcanista: Ignore that Igbo-man, WE the Ijaws are not calling for war or secession, but resource control and improved living standard

phantom: the ogbias seem to relate more with obua/ahoada people.they should have been in rivers state

obamartins: Yet they fought the Nigerian Army to a standstill, thereby crippling the Economy of Nigeria and forcing Oil prices to skyrocket in the Global Market, forcing Obj and Yardua to call for a truce. You know nothing about the IZONS.

princenayo: The saying that those whom the gods want to destroy, they first make mad, may be haunting Nigeria's ex-tyrant once again. This time, it is not the ex-dictator's violent and lawless kleptocracy that seems to be the matter. Judging from the sworn affidavit by Obasanjo's first son, Gbenga, it would appear that his father's life may be much more seedy and sordid than anything one has ever imagined. To cut a long story short, Gbenga, through his lawyers, attested that his father, Olusegun "Igbochukwu" Obasanjo, has had a love affair with his wife! Readers are invited to digest the report on this abomination below. Poor Gbenga! What kind of father would destroy a son's life this way? Like in the Iyabo contract scandal, this "family affair" (no pun intended) has profound socio-economic implications for the country.

First son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Gbenga, has sensationally accused him , presently asking Lagos High Court to dissolve the seven-year-old marriage, doubts the paternity of the fruits of the wedlock. The shocking revelation is contained in a fresh affidavit deposited to by the petitioner in response to cross petition of the defendant, a copy of which was made available to Sunday Sun .

Earlier, Mojisola had accused Gbenga of sundry sins including assault and battery. The divorce suit has been dragging in court since 2006. The 50-paragraph affidavit is averred to on Gbenga’s behalf by his solicitors, Addeh Associates.

The tenth paragraph says: “The Petitioner (Gbenga Obasanjo) further avers that he knows for a fact that the Respondent committed adultery with and had an intimate, sexual relationship with his own father, General Olusegun Obasanjo, due to her greed to curry favours and contracts from him in his capacity as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

"The Petitioner avers that the Respondent also got rewarded for her adulterous acts with several oil contracts with the NNPC from his father, General Olusegun Obasanjo, amongst which was the NNPC consultancy training in supply chain management and project management awarded to her company Bowen and Brown."

The eighth paragraph says: “The Petitioner avers that the respondent confided in him severally while they were living together that she had been sexually abused and defiled by her father in Law”.

It is a pity that such an adulterous Man would have the moral justification to point an accusing finger on sitting president who happens to be his successor. This is A CASE OF A POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK.

agbameta: You people are too naive and clueless, you talk and behave like elementary school kids..

abbyrian: Each time I pick up one of these top fashion mags in Nigeria to read, I am appalled when I read fashion write ups ranting about the 'crop top' as an emerging fashion trend in Nigeria. The magazines talk about the summer and how the crop top is the perfect outfit to remain stylish and comfortable for the season. It's understandable, that we are going global and so is our fashion drive but the crop top becoming a trend That's pushing overboard, in my opinion. Well, that's my opinion, please let me know what you think

omogidi234: Let us wait and see. By the way in another thread, have you read what happened to the 20 something members who wanted to sit and counter the "proposed plan" of the 5?

PapaFejiro: That book by the late great Chinua Achebe THERE WAS A COUNTRY is a masterpiece. Can you imagine Chinua was asked if he wanted his interview in his house in the village or if he wld rather travel to Enugu. He chose the later and it actually did happen. After reading that book I compared Nigeria and Nigerians today and Nigeria and Nigerians back then. honestly I wondered what really happened to Us. Our country is in despair. Our attitudes and way of life degenerates by the minutes. Our governments have CLEARLY forgotten the primary function of government which is RESPONSIBILITY to the people. We are in trouble. And I weep here in Doha when I see great ppl of this forum fighting daily trying so hard to debase other tribes. I think its time to clearly decide: stay together and tolerate each other in love or simply and peacefully break up the country and let each group become independent. i think We can do international relations and respect each other then, not this hullabaloo we are currently facing making our collective growth stunted. May God bless us all. AMEN.

Billyonaire: Tambuwal is unserious, how can a Speaker of House of Assembly, make allegation based on "Body Language", is Tambuwa a behavior therapist ? I often say, if you want a man to fail, tell him to talk. Tambuwal opened his mouth and failure comes out.

#Body Language is trending

naija2dabone: By january 2015, I will take up a voluntary full time job campaigning and promoting the candidature of GEJ and his transformation programme (Note that I did not say transformation agenda). This is because, GEJ administration is a CLEAR DEPARTURE from how Nigeria has been runned over the years. It is indeed a breath of fresh air in terms of performance and results.

It is true that this administration has faced a lot of deliberate action aimed at weakening it resolve through subversion, obstruction, disruption, and destruction of govt plans and programmes but doggedly, GEJ keep matching on shaming cynics.

Nigeria: Forward ever, backward never!

kel4soft: Men am scared to know what will happen further. I will just pass through old GRA, then Ogbunabali then back to my house at Woji. Am done with work today.

maureeno: Hmmm.very obvious.A man då̝̅† beats up his fiancee,why won't he beat her up after payin her bride price.Ƅŭţ dere's nothin prayer can't do.if she goes ahead with the weddin,she shud be prepared to amend her ways so as not to offend the guy to warrant beating,then add prayers.he will even beat the pregnancy out

BY CHIDI NKWOPARA, OWERRRI.
Commercial banks operating in Imo State are threatening to close shop if government and it’s agents do no stop the harassment, which has engineered the face-off currently raging between them.
Vanguard investigations revealed that the feud between government and the management of the commercial banks, which had remained outside the purview of the populace, emanated from the alleged non-payment of certain fees and charges by the banks.
Government is alleging that the banks are not remitting withholding taxes they collected to the Board of Internal Revenue, but the management of the commercial banks vehemently denied it.
The banks are rather protesting what they termed “sundry exorbitant taxes and levies slammed on us by the Board of Internal Revenue”.
Some of the bank executives, who preferred anonymity lamented that these charges ranged between N250 million to over N650 million.
“Apart from being a blatant lie, these demands are arbitrary and possibly designed by some people in the system to defraud the banks”, a bank executive told Vanguard.
While insisting that none of the banks is in default of payment of any form of tax due to government, the man urged government to feel very free to come and painstakingly scrutinize their books with a view to resolving the issue.
“Instead of responding to this invitation, the state government went and secretly obtained a court order restraining some of us from discharging our duties to the citizenry”, the man said.
Answering another question, the man lamented that on the scheduled date for another meeting, BIR officials were absent and only said that “Government House had taken over the issue”.
Vanguard however gathered that since the Governor and the State House of Assembly were yet to reply their letters, as at press time, the banks may be heading towards shutting down on their own.
When contacted, the Commissioner for Special Duties, Sir Jude Ejiogu, who doubles as the Chief of Staff, urged the banks to tell Imo people the truth.
According to Ejiogu, “some bank refused to pay their statutory taxes to government for reasons best known to them”.
