I've been in a relationship for 5 years with a great man; we met very young and we're still in school but almost about to graduate. We love each other and things would be easier if family wasn't involved.

His parents are currently divorced and his father, step mother and brother are very difficult people. They are uncompromising and closed minded. His brother has called me selfish and controlling even before the introduction has taken place.

I'm currently in my early twenties and I will be graduating as a doctor next year and I'm from a very peaceful home. I have not been wayward during school and I'm a christian. Seeing that his family doesn't see my value is very disappointing to say the least. I expected much more because I know I'm worth much more.

When you marry in the Nigerian community, you don't just marry the person, the whole family is involved. I have strong feelings for this man. He has refused to adopt his families negative characteristics. His values and character is more than any mother, future wife or friend can ask for. I'm lucky to have even known him.

Now, I'm at crossroads. I've prayed to God and I do have peace, but my parents are telling me to disregard that relationship and move on because of his family. Is it worth it? Is family a rate limiting step to choosing a spouse? How involved are family members in during marriage? Should I move on?

if you ask meeee, na who I go ask?

According to friend who knew her story, Olachi Manndarin Emmanuel got married last year to a Port Harcourt big boy from Benue State and while she was giving birth to their daughter few months later, she developed complication with her pelvic bone.

This allegedly prompted the husband to hate her, beat her up before bundling her back home to her parents house. Olachi's condition worsened thereafter and she fell into a coma few weeks ago and all attempts to reach her husband failed as he reportedly warned the family to stay off his back as he has moved on. Olachi never recovered from the coma as she died and will be buried today.

See what one of her friends Ben wrote on his Facebook page:

But you didn't criticize the previous govt who appointed 4 southerners out the 5 names that were mentioned.Children of hates everywhere.

Truth is bitter but Jonathan was generally fair in his appointments hence there were no complaints then. Buhari is making no pretence at all about his appointments & obviously doesn't give a darm what anyone think including those who aided his enthronement. It is only democrats that considers how others feel about their actions. Tyrants don't bloody care.

I hate Nigeria's habit of sackings. For goodness sake, these people are professionals & not politicians. They have tenure. If any of them did not perform well, remove him or her. Very soon we will hear that Vice-Chancellors of all universities have been removed in one swoop. This are attributes of immaturity in a nation. Nobody is sure of what happens the next moment because of the acts of men.

This PDP will never learn o. Thought they said they have repented? Why do they still find it hard to respect courts orders when the orders are against them? Impunity is embedded in their DNA.

read between the lines. Which court order? All the judgements are from court of coordinate jurisdiction. Are they to pay for chaos in the judiciary? I think the judiciary should put their house in order. They are causing confusion in the land. Sheriff should appeal the Portharcourt judgement in the court of Appeal & not going back to a court of coordinate jurisdiction because they know this particular judge can be used by them.

This judge appears to be mentally unstable. Who says lunatics are only found on the streets. They were all somewhere before the landed on the streets. Looking at his resume, you ll find out he has been in private practice, being paid by clients for his services. He may not have realised that the mode of payment changes as soon as you move from bar to bench. I think his actions should quickly be reported to the NJC before he does further damage. How can a FHC seat on a matter that a court of coordinate jurisdiction has dealt with.

Following a viral story of a Nigerian man who buys his girlfriend a SUV recently, this Nairobi lady, who is a fast-rising socialite (Kenyan term for a runs babe) , feels that Kenyan men are the most useless creatures in the world. She has blasted her sponsor (Kenyan term for sugar daddy) and dumped him.

She claims that while Nigerian men spend big on ladies in exchange for sex, Kenyan men are stingy and don’t know how to treat a woman.

The curvaceous lady claims that a Kenyan man recently solicited for sex from her and promised to give her Ksh 20,000. According to her, Ksh 20,000 is peanuts.

She claims to be a “Billionaire Toy” kind of lady who only deals with filthily rich men.

Below is how she ranted on social media in the post below.. It may interest you that Kenyans dont hide their jealousy of Nigerian men whom they believe have this special anointing for spending generously even though they also believe that all rich Nigerians are fraudsters and drug peddlers...

Lawyers Please Help A Depressed Soul: What Does The Law Say?


I am a known and regular commenter on Nairaland, I created this account just for this.
Hear my story.

My dad died few years ago and in my house we are all girls. My dad has a boy (now a married man) whom he gave birth to when he was very young out of wedlock from another woman before marrying my mum. Meanwhile the boy grew up in our house, we didn't even know he wasn't our blood brother until I finished secondary school, to show you how tight the relationship was. Before my dad died from his sickness, the boy started acting up, giving people the impression that there is trouble in the family because he is from another woman, even during my dad's burial, well that's a story for another day.

My dad has only one house, 2 - 3 bedroom semi-detached flats. We are staying in one of the flats even before my dad died. Now, as my mum traveled and came back, the boy has padlocked the flat we are staying and rented the other flat to an unknown tenant.

Traditionally, they say women do not have a share in the property of a man. This traditional law does it include my mum who has been staying in that house with her husband before his death? Now, does it mean my mum and my remaining single sister ( we are all married except her) are not going to enter the house in which we have been staying over the years? Does he want my mum to stay in the bush or what? Please, what does the Law say about this type of issue? What does the Igbo traditional law and the English law say about this?

My mum never wanted to make any form of trouble initially but I think this is the height of the whole thing, and we are now ready to go to any length he wants us to go to.

Please Lawyers do you advise my mum to go to court? If the case is in the Law court, are they going to seal off the house knowing fully well that is where my mum stays?

Mods, please help move to front page. We need urgent advice asap. Interested lawyers should please contact me.

this is an act of wickedness. He is an hungry man otherwise he shouldn't lock out your mother. He out to allow you get married & leave d house & be patient & respect your mum to grow old to join ancestors before taking possession. Anything short of that is madness & greed.

This beautiful young doctor identified as Dr. Nneoma Uhuegbu died in a fatal accident around Umuikaa on her way to Umuahia from Aba last night. She was on her way to Umuahia to collect her induction gown as a fresh medical doctor. Her induction is on the 28 at ABSU. According to reports, 12 passengers and driver involved in the accident survived except for her. This is so sad! May her soul rest in peace. Amen! Below is what her friend Ogbonnaya Bonky Chibuzor wrote on Facebook:

"The audacity of death. The reckless, arrogant enemy of humanity has struck again. On this occasion, its wicked hands did us an irreparable damage which is permanent. It has snatched away a humble, brilliant, amiable, creative and hard-working doctor from us, in a rude and shocking manner. Nneoma has spent 8 years of her life studying medicine & surgery. Their induction into the medical body was scheduled to hold this Thursday 28 July. What a loss!!!.. What happens to the project I wanted you to be part of? what of the lives you planned to save as a medical doctor should we forget about it? No!!!! Hey, I am dreaming, some one should tell me am hallucinating. We are all aware of death’s recklessness, yet we raise our heads with pride, as the faithful children of God Almighty, who believe in His holiness, the resurrection of Jesus and His superior power over all mundane activities and interests of this wicked world. God has allowed in His wisdom, what his power can avoid. We love you Dr Nneoma.... The Lord grant your family and colleagues the fortitude to bear this great loss. I will see you in Heaven, RIP Nneoma."

MadeInTokyo:
– A former commissioner of transport under Oshiomhole’s administration, Orobosa Omo-Ojo, has made some damning accusation against the governor


– The former commissioner accused Oshiomhole of being very authoritarian while describing his administration as mob government


– He alleged that the governor spent N500million to pursue vice presidential ambition for the 2015 election.


– Omo-Ojo called on the EFCC to investigate the N14billion spent to design website for the Edo Open Portal project

--- Oshiomole granted Certificate of Occupancy waiver to Alhaji Aliko Dangote worth N1.08 billion for the establishment of a fertilizer plant,



A former Commissioner of Transport in the administration of Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Orobosa Omo- Ojo, has opened a can of worms on the administration of the comrade governor in a book, “Breach of Trust, An eyewitness account of political events in Edo state before and under Adams Oshiomhole’s watch”.

Omo-Ojo who has since fallen apart with his erstwhile boss, explained his sack as Commissioner in January this year, saying that his removal was because he refused to divulge details of his meetings with some perceived enemies of Governor Oshiomhole.

He alleged in the book that the state government spent N14 billion to design website for the Edo Open Portal project and urged the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to investigate the project.

According to Omo-Ojo, it would be a cruel fate to Edo people if the EFCC failed to investigate the Open Portal project and others in the ICT including biometrics, oracle, internet provision for Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs).

He alleged that the open portal was a deception, designed as a cover-up for the growing criticism of lack of transparency in government operation and a means to justify the $225 million World Bank loan which was equivalent to N50 billion.

Besides, the former Commissioner alleged that Oshiomhole spent N500 million to pursue vice presidential ambition and granted Certificate of Occupancy waiver to Alhaji Aliko Dangote worth N1.08 billion for the establishment of a fertilizer plant, just as he described Oshiomhole’s administration as “mob government where every one contributes to the affairs of the state without a clear direction of government policy.

“Working with Oshiomhole is like watching a circus show. There is never a boring moment. Either he amuses you with sheer energy to talk unending or you are amazed at his self-delusion as he speaks on every subject like an authority

The only way to reduce priceless time wasting during meetings is to allow a monologue. This practice led to poor project execution”, he alleged.



Reacting to the allegations yesterday, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Peter Okhiria, said “we have a copy of the book, we will react to the allegations appropriately.”

I think politicians will be more careful if we remove a ruling party for another from time to time. We would not have heard anything about all the money shared by PDP officials if PDP had won the last presidential elections. The APC people will also have a day of reckoning in future when another party comes on board. I have said it repeatedly here that the FG's probe portrays PDP people as thieves whereas they are all the same. In spite of the allegations against Amaechi, Dambazzau, Buratai & co, the government pretends as if they have not heard. I know a time is coming when their actions & in actions will come to the front burner & all those clapping for them will realise theses politicians are the same & its a case of thief calling another thief.

I don't know why these people are having sleepless night over Ekweremadu. In the US, president Obama is of the democratic party while the senate & congress are controlled by the republican party yet they find a way to work together. Ekweremadu is not even the senate president. Ok, I now see where the problem is. They are scared that by the time they get rid of saraki, the mantle of leadership falls on Ekweremadu. If PDP could not do anything to Tambuwal as house speaker after it became obvious he was of the APC, why does APC think they can remove Ekweremadu? Since they don't have the numbers, they want to kill him? Better focus your attention on governance & not plunge this nation into crises. You people are too partisan for my liking. If you are sensible, you should tap into the experience & guardians of Ekweremadu & Mark & remember that once elected Nigeria becomes your constituency & not PDP or APC.

*I won't kill anybody at 83, Anenih tells Onojie of Opoji

BENIN—THE Onojie of Opoji and Vice Chairman, Edo State Council of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs, HRH Ehidiamen Aidonojie I, yesterday, raised alarm, that he was being threatened by the former chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Tony Anenih.

The royal father said that his lawyers were already preparing a petition to be submitted to the Inspector General of Police and the state Police Commissioner Chris Ezike, on the issue, adding that it was “because I told the world that Esan Royal fathers never endorsed Ize-Iyamu.”

But reacting, Chief Anenih, took a swipe at the Onojie of Opoji, Ehidiamen Aidonojie I, saying that he has never killed anyone in his life time even when he was a young person, let alone now that he is 83.

Speaking to Vanguard on phone, Chief Anenih, said “Onojie of Opoji was one of the traditional rulers who received our candidate and the PDP's governorship candidate for the September election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu. I know him very well. I never killed somebody in my life even as a Police Constable. Is it now that I will be 83 that I will kill somebody? I will not kill anybody in my life. I am a peaceful man. I will not kill an ordinary man, a big man, a traditional ruler or anybody. I will not even contemplate killing the Onojie of Opoji, why will I do that?”

The Royal father, had alleged “He (Anenih) called me shouting at me ‘Your Highness, I am disappointed in you.’ I asked him what I had done, he kept shouting 'what has Oshiomhole (governor) done' for me in my life and I told him to stop insulting me even if he is Anenih, that I am a traditional ruler for Christ sake.

“He said that was why he was not happy that I attended the function at the Onojie of Uromi’s palace. He went on to say that he thought we had settled, he said he thought we had settled our problem. But I told him that what we agreed was that he should make an Esan man governor but he never did it.

“Rather what he brought to Esan people now was deputy governor and he still kept it in Uromi. And that was the same thing we have been complaining, all the ministers have come from his place in Uromi and in every election, he will ask Esan people to vote PDP. I asked why did he not move the deputy governorship to another community in Esanland, must it be Uromi?

“He said I should be careful and he was warning me. First of all, it is an abomination to insult a Royal father like me. I have briefed my lawyers and we are petitioning the IG of Police. I have already informed the state Commissioner of Police and the DSS. Why must Esan people vote PDP when in Esan, most of us have been marginalised while Uromi remains the Israel," he said.



http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/anenih-threatening-life-edo-monarch-cries/

This trad ruler has already taking side & that's one of the reasons why their honour has bn degraded. He comes out openly to say a party cannot be voted for & he says it is an abomination to insult a trad ruler. He has already created an avenue for insult by being openly partisan. In fact he didn't insult you well.

When I see Nigerians falling over themselves I just shake my head. If you know who a typical Nigerian politician is, you ll see they don't deserve all the honour we give them. A typical picture is what you see playing out before, during & after the elections in River state. Human life has no value to them. If they identify you as the one who will stand on their way to control state resources, they will just wipe you out. All the good guy picture they show us of themselves is sheer deceit. They are all wolves in sheep's clothing. All this wailers/zombie arguments here is not worth it, the Nigerian politician is neither here nor there. No ideology. They are in politics to line their pockets. Today, they are on one side. before you know it, they have crossed over & you come clapping hands depending on the side of the devide you find yourself. Today, APC is exposing PDP, you shout thieves. Let another party succeed APC sometime in future & also investigate them, then you will get a clear picture & then know they are just pushing us around like draft & it is a case of the thief that has not been caught calling the one that has been caught a thief & even joining others to beat him up.

Edo Governor Adams Oshiomhole yesterday described threat by governorship candidate of the Peoples Demcoratic Party (PDP) Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu that he will probe his administration as laughable.

Oshiomhole said: “Ize-Iyamu will first of all vomit the N1.2billion he shared with Dan Orbih, which is money meant for Defence that he collected from Fidelity Bank. After that he will go to jail before he can probe me.”

Speaking when the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Godwin Obaseki visited Fugar for a rally, Oshiomhole said: “Ize-Iyamu, Orbih and their fathers have confessed that they collected N700miilion and N500million to share during the election.

“They go to Port Harcourt every day to visit EFCC. Dan Orbih was taken from Port Harcourt to Benin with a Black Maria where his house was searched.

“Today they are living in fear. But they must return the money. Look at the company between Ize-Iyamu and Orbih, now they are singing like witches in the night how they shared that money.

“But they must be prosecuted like Metuh and others because that was how they stole in Edo for ten years.”

The governor added: “That money they shared was meant for Defence, for roads. For ten years they ruined the state but in seven and half years we have worked.

“So I laugh when he says he will probe. How can he even come in when he cannot win his ward?

“Edo people cannot vote for thieves at all so I wonder how he is going to probe me and that is why I said it is funny.”

Speaking at the PDP campaign rally in Uromi, Esan North East local government, Ize-Iyamu said he would probe Oshiomhole immediately he is sworn-in as governor.

Pastor Ize-Iyamu said every kobo accrued to the state between 2008 and 2016 must be accounted for.

He urged APC candidate, Godwin Obaseki, to start speaking for himself.

Ize-Iyamu urged Oshiomhole to probe the eight years he spent in office between 1999 and 2007 as Chief of Staff and Secretary to the State government.

His words: “I call on Adams Oshiomhole to probe my time in government and look at everything that I did.

“Let him do it because by the grace of God, when I am governor, I will probe him.

“I will probe him; every kobo that has come to Edo State, must be accounted for. That is his fear; that is why he can no longer sleep.

“Adams Oshiomhole believes that the more he attacks, the more he can hide the truth.”

General my foot. You panic the whole country by threatening to bomb Aso rock. Even senators were afraid to go to work because you threatened to bomb national assembly. See your life na. You be like rat wey rain beat.

Babzrockman:
There are strong indications that the All Progressives Congress is insisting on the removal of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.

Sunday PUNCH reliably gathered on Saturday that although the APC was happy with the appointments, which the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, made in the committees of the upper chamber on Thursday, the party believed that for the peace process to complete, Ekweremadu must resign or be removed.

Saraki became the senate president in June last year against the wish of the APC, which supported the emergence of Senator Ahmed Lawan.

The former Kwara State governor emerged as the senate president with the support of the his loyalists under the aegis of Like-Mind Senators comprising members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the upper chamber and most of their colleagues in the APC.

It was reported last year that one of the conditions that the PDP gave to Saraki was to concede the deputy senate president seat to one of its members.

The senate president defied the APC when he ensured that his loyalists, except Senator Sola Adeyeye (Chief Whip) became the principal officers.

But on Thursday, Saraki began a peace move when he reshuffled senate panels and appointed his critics in the Senate Unity Forum as heads of “juicy committees.”

For example, the spokesman of the SUF, Senator Kabiru Marafa, became the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), while Senator Oluremi Tinubu was appointed the Chairperson of the Committee on the Environment.

A chief of the APC, who pleaded anonymity, confided in Sunday PUNCH on Saturday, that although Saraki’s action was a right step in the right direction, he should do more.

He said the APC was not comfortable with Ekweremadu as the deputy senate president and Saraki should look for a way of “getting him out.”

He said that besides being a PDP member, the deputy senate president had not hidden his disdain for the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

The party chieftain stated, “We are happy with what he (Saraki) did with the committees, but Ekweremadu cannot remain as the deputy senate president. When the PDP was in power, opposition parties did not produce the deputy senate president.”

Another APC leader who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “What Saraki has done is not enough. Ekweremadu must leave that position.”

When contacted to comment on the claim that the APC was insisting on Ekweremadu’s removal, the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said, “No comment.”

Repeated calls to the mobile telephone number of the party’s National Secretary, Mai Bala Buni, were neither picked nor returned, a response to a text message sent to him was being awaited as of the time of filing this report.

Our position has not changed —SUF member

But a member of the SUF, Senator Adesoji Akanbi, (Oyo South), told SUNDAY PUNCH that the aggrieved lawmakers would not back down on their agitation for the Senate leadership.

The senator explained that he, and other members of the SUF, despite being offered positions in the Senate, would continue to support the directive of the APC.

He added that he was sure members of the forum, who were recently offered positions, would not turn against the party.

Akanbi said, “We all know what the party wanted from day one. Initially, when the leadership of the Senate was to be formed, we all know where the party stood. Up till now, the party has not changed its position and will not.

“Those who have been offered positions have the choice to accept or not to accept. I am sure that it will not affect their loyalty to their party. The Kabir Marafa and Suleiman Hunkuyi that I know, are loyal to the party, just like any other members of the SUF which I belong.”

He said that the forum was formed by senators who believe in the APC and the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Akanbi said, “We from the South-West also believe in the leadership of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. If that (loyalty to the three) is a sin, we are prepared to commit it. If it is a sin to stand by those three – APC, Buhari and Tinubu – we will continue to be sinners.”

The senator also noted that the recent reshuffle of committee chairmanship was not a new thing in the legislature, regardless of which sides of the divide lawmakers belonged.

He added that those who were giving and taking positions should do so as representatives of the party and not as independent individuals.

Efforts to get Marafa and Suleiman Hunkuyi, who are both members of the SUF and beneficiaries of the new appointments, were not successful on Saturday as their telephone lines indicated that they had been switched off.

Marafa had on Friday said that the reshuffling of the committees was an initiative of the party.

But a senior aide to Saraki, who spoke to one of our correspondents on condition of anonymity, said those who were still not satisfied with the leadership of the Senate among members of the SUF, were speaking for themselves.

The aide also said that the APC currently lacked the popularity to unseat Ekweremadu in the current scheme of things.

The source said, “How does the APC even want to remove Ekweremadu when it takes the simple majority to elect the Deputy Senate President but it takes two-thirds of the entire legislators to remove him.

“Do they have the two-thirds? They don’t have it. As of today, the PDP senators are more in the position to do that than the APC senators.”

Appointments, part of reconciliation — Saraki

The Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, who spoke to one of our correspondents on behalf of Saraki, confirmed that the new committee appointments were parts of the moves to bring senators closer together.

He said, “It cannot be the only thing. When you have 109 people representing large constituencies, continuously, you have to manage situations. It is like having 109 captains. Continuously, you have to discuss with and engage people; you have to make reconciliatory moves. That is what you have to do continuously if you want to get the job done.

“It (the appointment) is just one of the continuous moves that have to be made from time to time. Remember that Saraki met with (Sen. Oluremi) Tinubu for a long time; he also met with Dino (Melaye) over their issue. As the issues arise, you have to continue to engage them. It is a continuous effort.”

Meanwhile, senators of the Peoples Democratic Party have denied media reports that they were planning to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a a press statement at the weekend jointly signed by Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, Senate Minority Whip, Senator Philip Aduda, and Senate Deputy Minority Whip, Senator Biodun Olujimi, the PDP Senators described the said impeachment plot as “false, baseless and unfounded.”

They said, “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that the said impeachment plot is false, baseless and unfounded. The PDP Senate Caucus had neither discussed nor participated in any discussion or congregation on the issue of impeaching and/or serving notice of impeachment on President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. Hence, we advise Nigerians generally to be cautious in spinning and/or peddling rumours capable of heating up the polity.”

It is obvious that the APC cannot remove Ekweremadu because they do not possess the numbers to do so. What you can't change you learn to leave with. Pdp could not remove Tambuwal even when it became obvious he had left them. All they did was to endure him until the end of his tenure. The question now is if PDP could tolerate Tambuwal & APC enjoyed his presence in their mist while it lasted, why is APC so angree about Ekweremadu? So wise up & move on.

I wish to see Adams Oshiomhole & Osagie Ize Iyamu exhibit this type of relationship. Politics is not a do or die issue.
