Thank you. Well said. LordKO: Citing the OP's submission, the man's behavior is bad - shame on him if he has unjustifiably acted in such manner - he can do better, no matter the circumstances. However, your tactical support for cynicism and contentiousness among couples is rather repulsive; you'll be doing more harm than good to your clients in particular and the marriage institution in general, if you continue with this kind of mentality. It's unethical for a couple to unjustifiably mete out distrust and rebelliousness towards another - two conscientious people in pursuit of a common goal shouldn't be caught doing such against one another. Cynicism in particular is the unpronounced major cause of disunity among couples.
As a divorce attorney, a conscientious one I have to believe, your first duty is to master the act of differentiating altruistic couples from egoistic ones and avoid giving the former advice meant for the latter. You (a divorce attorney) can't have a successful career if you fail in this regard.
Resourcefulness is refreshing and engaging, however, it always becomes a toxic if the aim behind the grit is to cushion cynicism in particular and subjugation is general.
You can do better, believe you me. |

But they are determined and proving it. Men are fast losing the arena and women are boldly taking over. And of course, women have reasons to work harder than men. Decades of dehumanization, demonization, and the relegation to the obscure roles are enough motivation. But what will fuel the greater femalelisation of the world in the future will be the competition to corner the fewer and fewer available men as a husband.

Separations and divorces are certainly never caused by virtues but negative attributes by both or one party(ies). No one likes to wash the dirty linen in public especially to a prospective spouse. If you know now, you may quit Expect the worst going into the marriage. If she cannot trust you with her past now, she may never do forever. Although history tends to repeat itself, it is not always so. So, it is your call really. Quote author=frankyskyboi post=83599131]I started a relationship with a lady in March this year and it's been going on well though she works in Lagos while I'm in the eastern part of the country.
When we were at the introductory part of the relationship, I asked about her family and she told me they are separated. I asked what's the reason for the separation and she said its due to irreconcilable differences and they separated when she was a toddler that it's her dad that raised her up tho she keeps contact occasionally with her mum.
She stays with her aunts in Lagos. I asked if she asked both parents to know why and she said she only asked her dad and he said he doesn't want her mum to be working class and she insisted to be One that he wants her to be a stay at home wife. I asked if she heard from her mum and she said no. She also said her aunts said same thing her dad said.
The reason really didn't go down well with me as it's too flimsy and I've told her to ask her mum and she keeps procrastinating or giving one excuse or the other. It beats my imagination how a grown up adult can't know with conviction why her parents separated or I guess the truth is being hidden.
I'm bringing this up here because my brother married from a separated home and it was war before my parents gave consent. If she can't give me concrete reason why the parents broke up which I'll present before my parents, I really don't know how the relationship can move forward because we detest divorce in our family.

Loss of life, in addition to bad spots being the criminals' vantage locations quote author=Ecstasy154 ost=82880154]Okechukwu Nnodim The Federal Government on Saturday said it did not make any policy statement to suggest that it would reintroduce toll gates across federal highways in Nigeria any time soon. It said if such move was to take effect soon, there would be proper explanations on how it would commence. When asked to state if the government had rescinded its decision to reintroduce toll gates, the Special Adviser on Communications to the Minister of Works and Housing, Hakeem Bello, told our correspondent in Abuja on Saturday night that the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, never made any policy statement on toll gates. Bello said, “Look, why the so much excitement over nothing? The minister never made a policy statement. If the government wants to make a major policy like that (toll gates reintroduction), there will be explanations, press conferences, briefings and all of that. “It was during the course of the press briefing (at the state house) that someone asked about tolling and the minister responded by saying that there was no law against tolling. So why would people hold this high as if tolling is starting tomorrow?” “Of course, that cannot be a policy statement for one to say tolling is coming tomorrow or very soon.

Why do I doubt the story? It is because these men don't look like money hustlers. I may be wrong. It is for the Police to prove their case in court. GistmoreNG: The Ogun State Police Command, on Wednesday, paraded three suspects over the alleged murder of a 400 level student of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ahmed Obisanwo. The suspects were Idowu Ayodele (53), Segun Ogunsanwo (53) and Akeem Salisu (55).
While parading the suspects, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Bashir Makama, said four guns were recovered from the suspects, who claimed to be part of local community security group.
Makama said the trio would face murder charge before a competent court of law.
The Police boss said the suspects, earlier in the month stormed a hotel in Ijebu-Igbo, and dispossessed people of their valuables and also held two young men hostage.
Makama explained that one of those held hostage thereafter escaped from the abductors’ den while the other was so unlucky.
The CP said, “These suspects went into a hotel and ordered everyone to lie down, dispossessing them of their valuables. They held two people hostage. One of those held in hostage escaped while the other was not lucky.
” A complaint was lodged with the Police and we swung into action. This led to the arrest of these three people and recovery of weapons.
“Upon interrogation, they admitted to have killed the other young man and that his remains had been thrown into a river.
“One of them claimed to be a member of safe corps, however, his claim had been debunked. They will be made to face the full wrath of the law.”
One of the suspects, Akeem Salisu, who spoke with newsmen denied killing Obisanwo.
He said the group were commissioned by the community to arrest cultists and thugs.
Salisu added that his group usually arrest cultists and thugs in the community and handed them over to the Police.

Bro, at this point in time, whatever IPOB says does not matter. You should focus on Buhari living up to the duties of his office because that is truly what matters and has consequences for the country. IPOB may be critical of Buhari but as they say, if you consistently do what is right, you will forever silence your critics. Governance is not about winning elections but about using public office to make a better life for your people. And if that holds true and I know it does, Buhari has a lot to do so that his name will not be confined to the rubbish dustbins like the people before him. Simplyleo: But the delusional ipob clowns said all pictures and videos of buhari's movement are respectively photoshopped & doctored na.

You should face your life and hope for the best. As regards your mum, she will survive.

I think she is a fighter considering how she moved on after the death of her husband. But the man, you will have pity on him some years down the line because KARMA is real. NO need hating all men because of your experience with your dad and your mum's lover. There are plenty of women who are grateful for the men who came their way in life. It is not a perfect world and do not expect fairness from it. Enchantaurl: She took loan from Bank of 1million and invested in the business , he bought a bus with it and the bus has just his name. She kept borrowing and ended up borrowing 5m from the bank for this business and whenever they make profit he takes it all and gives her crumbs, things were so hard for us and she kept saying he loves her whilst complaining to us.
She took 2m from a contribution, gave it to him again and it sinked. Lapo and accion bank too she's owing them.
As if that wasn't enough he tried to break my family by calling my elder sister a witch and my mum supported him, my family almost divided.
Note: I didn't know of all this debts until recently a pastor saw her on the road she was walking like some one that was suicidal according to him, and he asked her what the problem was and she narrated things, he called for a meeting with the man and everything was revealed.
The banker who helped with the loan was in the meeting and when they asked my mum how she wanted the debt to be paid she said she was going to pay all that he should just give her the bus. The pastor said she was charmed but I don't believe she was, I feel like she was too desperate for love. This guy even beats her but she denies it, he talks to her anyhow.
I'm happy she's left him but right now to eat is a problem, the money I saved before entering school 60k I gave it to her and there's no hope of getting it back. He's destroyed everything. We've relocated to the village and I feel depressed and I've developed a hatred for men as I've never had a good male figure in my life, they are all assholes (my latedad inclusive).

Business › Re: Oyo Discovery Is A Game Changer For Congo And The African Content by Kinikini: 3:50pm On Aug 15, 2019 |
Another war loading in the COngo. With oil comes corruption, poverty, and war. Ravon: Congo has 2 billion barrels of proven oil reserves from about 20 fields being exploited and about 10 permits granted and waiting to be developed...
The recent onshore discovery made in the Delta de la Cuvette deposit in the Republic of Congo is a game-changer for Congo and Africa. The discovery was announced on August 10th by SARPD Oil and PEPA, a Congolese consortium working as operators on the Block.
Early projections indicate that the discovered deposits could produce up to 359 million barrels of oil, or 983,000 bopd, from Congo’s central province. This could in effect quadruple Congo’s production, which currently stands at over 330,000 bopd according to OPEC’s latest figures. Production has been steadily increasing in recent years, with a target set by the government of reaching 400,000 bopd by 2020.
“This is our first onshore discovery and it gives us a lot of hope that we shall make more discoveries especially now that we are to award more blocks for oil exploration in the ongoing oil licensing round,” said the H.E. Jean-Marc Thystère-Tchicaya, Minister of Hydrocarbons of the Republic of Congo
The Delta de la Cuvette deposit covers 9,392 m2 and comprises four wells, the first has been drilled in March of this year. When fully exploited, the license could propel Congo as Africa’s third-largest oil producer, ahead of Algeria and Libya.
“This is in effect one of the largest African oil discovery in decades,” declared Nj Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber and CEO at the Centurion Law Group. “Africa has been an exploration hotspot where major oil & gas discoveries have been made in recent years by international explorers. The Oyo discovery in Congo, however, is the result of indigenous efforts made by Congolese companies. It speaks volumes to the value that local content development can create when local companies and entrepreneurs are given an opportunity to contribute to their industry. I want to urge the government to work with the industry to expedite the approvals for the necessary field development efforts. This is a win for Congo and for Africa.”
The discovery is also a game-changer for Congo’s energy scenario, with most oil & gas production currently coming from offshore fields. The Republic of Congo has been pushing for years to open up energy access to its central and northern provinces, notably through the planned 1,200km pipeline between Pointe Noire and Ouesso. The exploitation of such large oil deposits in the centre of the country could open up a whole new energy frontier for Congo and the rest of the region.
The African Energy Chamber looks forward to seeing the full development of the license creating jobs for Congolese, and opportunities for Congolese companies and entrepreneurs to service one of Central Africa’s largest upcoming onshore development. Such a discovery has the potential to spur considerable economic growth for Congo and its central and northern provinces, especially as the country keeps recovering from a recent economic crisis due to plummeting oil prices. The IMF predicts a GDP growth of 5.4% in 2019, the highest in Central Africa.
Congo has 2 billion barrels of proven oil reserves from about 20 fields being exploited and about 10 permits granted and waiting to be developed. Its proven gas reserves stand at 200bn standard cubic metres over 20 years, according to the government, including 70bn of associated gas. While gas production stands at about 400bcf, various gas valorization and monetization projects are being supported by the government to generate diversification and economic growth. Congo estimates that it can monetize about 100bn standard cubic metres of gas by integrating various gas valorization projects in the country via a gathering and transportation system which is to be operational by 2020.
