Everyone of us thought the emergence of APC will bring a competitive and productive governance.

It turn out to be calamity and hardship.

You and who? Speak for yourself. Some of us were mocked even right here on Nairaland for supporting GEJ back then. I said it then that even if Nigeria wanted progress, Buhari wasn't progress but backwardness.

Buhari was their chief sponsor so it is not surprising if this happened during his regime. The evidence are too much.

omowolewa:
Nigeria should consider getting this

Why should Nigeria get it? We don't currently face any external aggression neither are we expecting any. The main purpose of the Nigeria Army is to kill and oppress the citizens who are largely unarmed.

lavylilly:
Multiple signs show that humans are mostly monogamous by design. Males and females are roughly the same size (the small difference seems to have been inherited from Australopithecus, and has decreased steadily since), we seem to mostly share the inherent emotion of jealousy which makes no sense for us to have otherwise, most human societies have been monogamous, and so on.

But humans are also infinitely inventive, and in situations with shortages of men or women, societies have adapted and allowed polygamy or polyandry; up until very recently, it has been much more difficult or even outright impossible to be successful outside a family, so an excess of either sex was a problem to be solved.

And, of course, some people are born without any sense of sexual jealousy; those are today known as polyamorous. It seems to work fine, too, so that's obviously also part of our nature.

There were men who decided to be monogamous. They would have been religious men, so the the impetus would have been religious in nature.

My answer is based on the facts that:

1. Historically, men in general would never have allowed a woman to make this or any other decision, most especially if it affected the law or their sex life.
2. Religion has historically been behind most cultural ideologies.
So, to answer the question, many but not all human beings may desire to have sex with more than one person. Many but not all men may wish to have more than one spouse.

Men, who historically were in charge of everything while women stayed home, chose to institute monogamy. Other men decided to move their families into these societies. Sometimes human beings had these ideologies forced upon them by other men. As time passed, monogamy became the cultural norm for many nations and states.

Early men were never monogamous. I don't know where you get these fact from. Even a careful peep at the Bible that the OP based this post on clearly show the men in those days married more than one wife and it was also normal to have concubines. What we have today is a society that has been changed as a result of technology, civilisation etc. Even our other close relatives in the animal kingdom who are also primates e.g Orangutan, chimpanzee etc are not monogamous.I challenge anybody that thinks otherwise to name any primate apart from human that is monogamous. Monogamy is supported by the present day culture and economic reality (especially in a country like Nigeria with zero social security). I married only one wife so I'm not supporting polygamy but the truth have to be said. It takes a high level of discipline for someone on the status of Davido to be monogamous.

Secondly, talking based on purely science here, no religion. There is a scientific reason nature made man to be polygamous. If you study the way the chimpanzee lives in the wild, it is closely related to how humans also existed before the technology started taking over. Humans were designed to be social animals that live in groups of not more than 50 people. It is technology that made it possible to exceed this number. So what happens when we exceed this number? War. If you look at the chimpanzee, you will see how a clan go to war with another clan. In a war situation, the men are expendable and the female is the most important gender that can easily repopulate the clan. For this reason females don't go to war. They are to be protected at all cost. If in any event war gets to the females and they had to start defending themselves then that is the end of that clan. Even if there are fewer men left after battle, the females will quickly repopulate the clan in order for them to withstand the next onslaught by any clan.

Like that has happened before.

The problem is the law on defections has always been ignored over the years, and nothing will happen again this time

Have you read the new electoral law? They will loose their seat. I'm believing this is fake news

Buhari is not going to revenge. He knows Tinubu is already senile. The man has gone bunkum

Brendaniel:


All these reasons are just excuses, the man has been a bad CBN governor for a long time, they left him because all his bad policies favoured them, he just made one policy that did not favour them and boom they are after him....

This is not entirely correct. Google what Hon. Kazaure said about this issue of CBN governor, you might get who are really after the governor

Brendaniel:


The question is why is the DSS looking for him?

I think the DSS has answered this. The man has stakes in 12 banks. Where did he get the money. This is a valid reason to arrest him. I'm sure this is not a lie, however I'm not sure of that terrorism financing. Anyone the government wants to deal with, they usually come up with terrorism financing.

FERNANDEZISBACK:

The invasion of Afghanistan was in response to the terrorist attacked on American soil that occurred on September 11, 2001. Al Qaeda admitted all responsibility and they were being protected by the ruling Taliban. The U.S. and the U.K. sent in troops to go after them and topple the Taliban government with the assistance of the Northern Alliance rebels. The latter would form the new government. While those goals had a great deal of success, a large presence of International troops were needed to aid the fight once the Taliban formed an insurgency that would become the main problem. They were needed to help the new government that was far too corrupt and weak to handle the civil war on its own.

As for iraq. Saddam Hussein was a brutal thug that terrorized his own citizens and invaded his neighbors, given his flagrant disrespect for international law during the invasion of Kuwait it’s only logical that had the US not intervened he would’ve represented an even larger threat to the free world with the added power of Kuwait’s oil reserves.
No space for religious terrorist..I'm sorry!

You see.... I was really laughing hard reading what you wrote. I don't want to call it rubbish because I believe what you wrote is what you sincerely believe. Now before I start responding to you, let me remind you what you posted that prompted me to give that reply so that we don't move off track.

FERNANDEZISBACK:

Why should USA invade Russia when they weren't attacked directly?
My question is:why is Putin yet to overrun Ukraine?

Y'all said the war was gonna last a week but here we are..

Your question above seems to mean that the USA only attack countries that attack them directly. Which I said was not so hence I gave an example of Afghanistan and Iraq (there are other examples). You then started mentioning of Al Qaeda. Is the Taliban Al-Qaeda? If you say the Taliban were shielding Al Qaeda, and Al Qaeda was the one that attacked the US. does that not mean that the Taliban did not attack the US directly?

As for your response for attacking Iraq, I think even from your answer, it is clear the Iraq government did not attack the US directly.

Whether what they did was right or wrong is a topic for another day. I just wanted you to know the US is also known for attacking countries that did not attack them directly

FERNANDEZISBACK:

When they invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, were they attacked directly?

To God be the glory.

Right now, people have left online and it's now door to door physical campaign. That's what is going on now. I understand you are not an obedient that's why you're asking such question. It is not dead my guy.

I don't know why we keep dragging this issue. Every governor during the OBJ era were thieves. They looted the state's resources. The reason was clear. They were not voted in by the people. Election was not free and fair. In fact I know of a South- south state that used only 5 boys to win the election. When these governors come in they work for themselves. Most of these governors were later arrested after the administration and some of them were taken to court and convicted. Some went for plea bargain. Any governor during the OBJ era that says he worked for the people is a big liar and I can challenge them to prove how they work for the people putting into consideration the resources available to them and how they spent it. One question I have not seen anyone asking is how BAT got the resources he used in funding AC during the OBJ era. If the man was working for the people, he wouldn't even have the money to spend on such frivolity. I'm pained when I see them comparing BAT and Fashola. There is a big difference between those two. One was voted by the people, while the other rigged his way in. This is not 1999, and their plan of rigging will fail woefully.

In this type of situation, I will rather wait and respond to the official statement of the army rather than anything else. The army have really suffered in this war. Some of those kids are Boko Haram

Blessedmercy8:


My dear, I also told her to get another teacher she now said shes not apportioning blames to me., That she just wanted me to do something about it next term.

I don't get why they do that. They'll just go and dig up questions on topics you have taught the pupils and expect them to pass. Me I dey say whether na old age abi wetin? Hian!

What subject do you teach, dear?

I taught maths. I had since left teaching as an employee. I'm now an employer as I have my own school now.

Blessedmercy8:
Please guys, without any bias, say who's at fault here and who should take the blame for what happened.

I was just chilling this morning when a call came in from one of my schools and it was the director telling me that some of the children performed below expectations in my subject and all that.
She said the parents called and drew her attention to it and shes not happy. She said though some of them did well but those particular pupils didn't do well ( she later mentioned the child).

Now, this particular boy she mentioned, doesn't have a textbook. I remember asking him when he's getting one but he kept saying the Mom says she'll buy later and this is a boy I'm very fond of. So it's not as if I treat him unfairly because he doesn't have. In fact, Whenever I'm taking them, I tell him to join someone with a textbook and share.

The same parent who refused to play their part by not providing learning materials are now complaining that the child did not perform well, meanwhile others in the same class as him did excellently.

Another challenge I'm having with that school is the director always bringing Lagos state questions that are totally off the topics we've treated at the die minute and asking us to use it in the test and exams for them after we have used the international standard and scheme of work which topics are not the same to teach the pupils. And if you try to explain to her that its going to affect the pupils she won't have any of it. She'll tell you to revise the Lagos state questions with them... Like how do you revise a topic you have not taught them under a short period and expect them to perform. Children who even if you revise a topic you've taught and drilled them on, on that exam day, some will still fail. You will give some of them the answer or idea, they'll still do rubbish. Now the whole thing backfired, she's trying to shift the blames on me to which I sent her text noting all the points I made here and how they the major causes of the childrens low performance.

The general challenge I've been having with pupils performance is poor reading culture. and I've been meaning to speak on this. Students no longer read their books and parents are not doing anything in this regard.
You teach them and give homework, they'll bring it undone and when you scold the child for no doing his homework, the parents come to school to fight or complain. At home these same parents will never encourage the child to pick up their books and read. They just watch them play all through. Some will not even buy textbooks or writing materials for the children but will expect a miracle to happen. What kind of parents do we have these days?

I remember scolding a child at the beginning of the term for not doing his homework. The father came to school to fight but unfortunately for him, he didn't meet me since I'm a visiting teacher and don't go there everyday.
The director called and told me not to touch him again. I stopped asking the child why he didn't do his homework and he too stopped doing it until the end of the term and now hes among those the director complained didn't perform well. What am I suppose to do here?

One thing I've Observed in the education sector is poor reading culture and attitude to learning. Students attitude to learning is zero. You taking a class and out of the 100%, only 10% is responding. Their attention level is very very low. They are either busy thinking and doing other things or just waiting for you to finish and leave the class. Now before you tell me I dont make learning fun,/interesting for them, or carry them along, let me tell you that children no longer find learning fun no matter how fun you try to make it. And this is due to the kind of things they are exposed to out there which brings about a shift in focus. So their attention is divided in class as all they think about are those things which are not even appropriate for them. I don't even want to go into details about those things because that issue has already been over flooded.

I already made my points clear to her and why I can't be blamed for all that and out of anger told her to get another teacher. .

I've experienced everything you wrote here. The only thing that make this story different from mine is where the director brings questions from Lagos State. In my own case, the director sets questions from the other branch of the school. The summary of my case is that I told them to get another teacher who they feel is better than I am and I left them after mid term. That is a time when it is difficult to get another teacher.

Forget this school, many of them are trash. If you're selling or trading is better than teaching.

I don't know why I seem to be the odd one out. This stuff has happened to me severally and on different banks; first bank, GTbank, zenithbank and Polaris. Anytime it happens, I get a reversal without me complaining or notifying the bank. I get surprised when people say the notify the bank and it's still pending. The only time I notified the bank was in Polaris when I initiated a transfer and it shows successful but the receiver did not receive anything and thought I was pulling her legs. By the time I realised she wasn't joking which was on the second day , I wrote a letter to the bank and their reply was that the money has been reversed. When I checked my account,they were right.

I used the word "some ladies" in my comment because it isn't all ladies that dress like that, there are still a lot of decent-dressed ladies out there. Stop misquoting me. I never disrespected or called women any degrading names irrespective of dressing, I only expressed what I saw.

Please you guys should rest on this issue. The way I see it, I think the human nature is gradually returning back to its default state when we used to walk about naked. I see a situation where girls will soon start moving about naked and everyone will say it's not a problem especially when such activity starts in the western world

I think mine should also be USA 94 but I'm not too sure but the year Rashidi Yekini scored and entered the net screaming while Amocachi gave us a good dance and Amunike gave a beautiful summersalt. That was the year I started. While Denmark match ( France 98 ) was the year I call it a quit with world cup matches. Nigeria is not ready to lift the cup yet.

staga:


One hour thirty minutes.

But occultists and native doctors do endless night vigils. Then you try to contest with them in elections and business deals, and you wonder why some of them have been successful politicians for endless years.

Jokers everywhere!

Have you been to any occult meeting or native doctor's endless night vigil? This is the nonsense they tell you to justify them wasting your time. Any service above 1 hour is a waste of time and it's tiring whether the members tell you or not. If you decide to look round you, you will observe the churches that close early have more members than those that close late.

Economists in the house, can you guys explain why the naira value seems to have risen or is it the dollar that is falling? Which one? I had a hectic day and when I came back I slept off, by the time I woke up and my phone was showing ₦440.9 to a Dollar, I thought I was with Alice in the wonderland. Now I'm fully awake and it seems what I saw is true. How real can this be? And is this stable or by tomorrow we hear it changing for ₦1000?

Good pm niranlanders, how una dey?

I married very early, that Is five years ago, immediately i started working. Immediately we gave Birth to our first child, I was sacked from my place of work in a mysterious way. All our house equipment was sold, we left a comfortable apartment to a single room.

At a time, I was doing menial jobs just for us to feed. One day, in the process of seeking for solution to get my job back, I got to a church, and the pastor asked me to come with my wife, which I did, to my surprise, the pastor asked my wife, why are you afraid for your husband to have money? You are thinking if he makes money he will marry other women, he said pls pray for your husband to succeed, he is bigger than this.

And he asked my wife to come back for deliverance, but she refused.

Secondily, I went to another place, a spirituallist, and a female, she said I married wrongly, that the girl I was supposed to marry I missed it. She said I should come with my wife, and I did, she said my wife has another spirit, that she feels the marriage will not last...but till today, nothing I put hand dey work, most times we live together but never discuss together, we just live like strangers at home, and most time I regret getting married. I don't really know what to do now, I can't support my parents like before, they are not happy with me...

pls I need advice, prayers and support.

Are you sure you want to hear the truth? You are a very foolish man. And you married a good woman. When the economic reality hits hard on families it is expected that the man should loose his sanity which is happening to you. If your wife really has those spirits those useless spiritualist of yours claim, do you think she will even go with you to their shrine. The woman is good and you are tormenting her by not standing by her side when those spiritualist say rubbish. It is Nigeria's economy that is bad. There is no evil spirit chasing you. If you vote wisely next year your situation might improve. I also experienced financial crisis in my marriage and because of that me and my wife stuck with only two kids. Today I'm trying to have more cause the financial situation has improved but it seems the kids are running from me.
I pray for you "Every enemy chasing you, from January till this time. That have vow that you will not make it. If they refuse to leave you this year. They will die by fire." This should be your prayer every morning and night for the next six months. See if your state will not improve. However that prayer works faster if you pray it with your wife together.

Atiku is not going anywhere. No need for the noise. Meanwhile I pity for those underestimating Wike's opinion

immortalcrown:
I heard Ajengunle almost on daily basis before I entered Lagos. Even musicians like African China, Junglist, Oritsefemi, Danfo Drivers, Baba Frayo, Masses Neighbour, Jogodo, Kimi Ranking and their likes used Ajengunle a lot in their songs.

What you don't know is that there are many Ajegunle in Lagos. It's scattered at various locations. You will have to say which of the Ajegunle you are referring to.

Do people still take this woman serious?

Then you have fired yourself. Do you know what it means for work to start and you refuse to work? Even those soldiers you guys insult at any given opportunity sometimes fight without being paid. You can do your findings on that. If they refuse to obey orders because they are not paid they know the consequences.
