I really don't care what they say about PO in Nigeria of today nobody holy pass. Something tells me he's someone with a good heart and will not disappoint Nigerians. As for the other contestants I wish them all the best too. But my heart goes out to PO.
Messi1: I've always visited this my uncle at least four times a week. That is where I pass away time. His children all like me and any day I fail to come they must ask me why didn't come. I use the time i spend in his house to teach his children Mathematics and do their home work for them.
Today I was in his house, he stormed out from his room and ask if i don't help my mother at home. He yelled at me and what pain me most is that he said food is costly and they are only managing. He made me feel like i was the one finishing the food in his house. He said I should not be too frequent in his house if at all I must come.
I'm considering severing all ties to this my uncle, will that be right?
If you try that with me,you won't like what I will do to you. Learn to do everything moderately, 4 days in week ,what types of maths u dey teach abeg. Stay at home and help your mom and stop been entitled jor.
treesun: PORT HARCOURT – RIVERS State member of the House of Representatives, Farah Dagogo, says he’s confident presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar will win the 2023 elections landslide in Rivers state and also sure of majority votes in whole of South South.
Dagogo, member representing Bonny-Degema Federal Constituency on PDP platform, made the projection following Atiku’s remarks at the Lagos gathering of the Nigeria Guild of Editors, NGE, where he assured of already having a draft amendment bill on restructuring, prepared with inputs from stakeholders across all geopolitical zones to present to the 10th National Assembly when elected president next year.
He said the former Vice President and his running mate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state are justifying the support and confidence Nigerians, particularly South South, have in them, in their avowed commitment to restructuring the nation when elected.
The Reps member who was present at the NGE interaction with Atiku, said, “On the basis of policies that will benefit the people, Atiku will get majority of the votes in the South South, as well as other zones in the country. As for Rivers state, it will be a resounding landslide for Atiku-Okowa.
“Part of the problems bedeviling our country is the imperative to address restructuring and resource control, which are paramount to people of the Niger Delta and other regions in the country. For the first time, we have a candidate aspiring to the highest office in Nigeria who is willing to tackle those issues heads on.
“To demonstrate his commitment and readiness, he assembled legal experts, in collaboration with critical stakeholders from the various geo-political zones, to draft the restructuring amendment bill.
“That bill is ready and waiting to be presented to incoming 10th Assembly. This proactive move alone has diffused concerns of the larger percentage of the people of the South South and other geo political zones with valued natural resources.
“The people want a leader they can trust, who does not have integrity deficit, understands their pains and possesses the capacity and political will to tackle them. Alhaji Atiku has demonstrated that and more.”
The federal lawmaker further noted that, “The choice Governor Okowa as Atiku’s running mate, was genius, masterstroke. Okowa is not only of the Igbo and Niger Delta extraction, he is also one of the best brains from the Southern part of the country.”
Atiku is smarter now,he won't give shishi like PO until his victory is sure in river state which i doubt he will get. This guy just cash out but he won't get shishi
I have friends and former colleagues at ph who already are talking about PO rather than Atiku for the president. We will see
Greattestman: This issue has been eating me up for so long and i don't know what to do. My mother began pressurizing me to rent my own house and leave her alone.
It was unprecedented and i don't expect that from her. I'm barely 20 and I teach in a private school. I also do home lessons so my monthly income ranges from 25k to 30k or thereabout.
This money will not be enough for me to rent a house, buy my food and take care of myself. I have tried to explain but she refused to understand with me. She told her friends to advice me to leave; that I'm matured enough to live alone.
teamc: Got married 2yrs ago and we have a beautiful daughter, she has this dream of studying in Canada and I support her dream.
Our immigration consultant recommend she apply alone to increase chances that i and our daughter can join her later.
Now visa is out and she will be travelling next month. I have read numerous stories about how women change when they travel out.
Should I be worried?
YES YES YES YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED.
But pray to God and leave everything else at his feet. My reason is simple, there is no one who goes for studies and won't want to end up having their permanent stay and after their stud and perhaps start working and earning good.
Even though there are numerous ways of achieving that,but ONE of the easiest windows to achieve that is through marriage to their citizens .
This might brings some strains you don't factor/expect in your plans now much later if that happens. Am just saying in case you guys gets to that point. You need to discuss this with her before her departure, should such things eventually be the only ways available for her to achieve her dream of bringing you and your daughter in the near future. But you never know. I wish you best of luck.
Please don't quote me because me I don't know anything ooo.
Supremos: It's not a sin bro, but why didn't you tell him if that's what he wants for himself?.
Having a child, a mistake but having 2, is that also a mistake?.
Having more than one isn't any mistakes or a sin either but the crux of the issue at hand is not revealing it to the guy before the wedding day, is evil and very condemnable. But its up to the guy in question to move on or do otherwise.
Few minutes to wedding, Nigerian man calls off his wedding with his fiancee and demands for return of the bride price, after discovering that the bride had 2 kids already and hide it from him. The bride groom could be heard shouting at the top of his voice, asking her mother inl-aw why she kept him in the dark and the mother in-law said it wasn't her fault but that of the bride who never wanted to let him know. Apparently the bride had thought she could keep it as a secret but it blew up minutes to their wedding and the groom was heartbroken. It is always in the interest of all, that all parties come clean during courtship, tell your partner the truth.
Its not a sin to have children and seeking a new life all together with someone else but she could have told the guy. Its up to him to stay or move on,rather than finding out this way.
I just discovered Nairaland few weeks ago and I've read so many informative things and people's story. Some get advised and some get bashed when they drop their stories here, I hope I wouldn't.
Let me cut to the chase.
I'm 19, I'm a virgin and I'm a 300lvl student. I have a boyfriend that is 15years older than I am and he's sexually active. We met on online. We've known each other for seven months. We both love each other really well, even with the ups and downs that we've had in our relationship. This relationship is a long distance relationship. Now the thing is my boyfriend who is sexually active hasn't had sex for almost a year and lately he's been craving for sex. Sometimes I'll tell him I'm ready to have sex and other times I change my mind because of fear. I've been undecided about having sex. I thought about having sex with him maybe it'll make our bond stronger. He isn't married, he has no kids but he says he wish to marry me as soon as I graduate from the university. To be a virgin in a university isn't easy, there are temptations everywhere. Sometimes I get so tired of being a virgin and just want to have sex but other times I just want to keep it. One of my friends who is also my age had sex in 2019 and she has been sexually active ever since, she told me sex with males aren't really worth it, that if I'm ready I should try having sex with my gender because it's freaky.
I need advice please, should I have sex with this guy and hope that he'll marry me. Or I shouldn't and just be patient. He coming to meet me in two weeks time.
You had better keep your virginity before you lose your complete value overnight. Don't be like dollar wey dey lose value sharply now ooo.
Messi1: I broke up with this lady two years ago and forgot about her.. Since then she has never crossed my mind as anything important.
Last two weeks i saw a message popped up my WhatsApp from a new number, i replied and we started chatting. She has sent me "I miss you" and "I still love you" several times.
This girl said she wants us to get back together and her pushing me to get back to her is frustrating me.
How do I avoid this lady without hurting her?
Its trap bro, all this girls are full of shit.
I said what I said,she's up to no good for you bro. I smell rotten rat.
Enacto: Thank you very much for your kind gesture, I have managed to pay for my tuition fee and still struggling to raise fee for my clearance in school
I have reached out to you. I need some info from you please.
Enacto: Thank you very much for your kind gesture, I have managed to pay for my tuition fee and still struggling to raise fee for my clearance in school
Lol,you dont have to be mad for nothing. Use Google to find the exact date and time those buildings i mentioned were constructed. Back to the matter, when you find the information about ijora water corporation post it here too.
Roboto11: You must be a mumu to belive that building was constructed between 1979 and 1983.
Oga senior MUMU,at least I pointed out someone's administration efforts with a name and face you'refamiliar with. Why don't you Google and give the right information, do you have to show the whole world how functional your illiteracy is.
Urheadmaster: What are you trying to portray with this your post
I wonder what that punk was trying to portray, the building was constructed by the lateef jakande admin not even the two administration before that thief
I was about asking, when he said illiterate. when there is document staring him in the face on the front page. He should defend the document first before calling someone names
Enacto: Good evening, this is my first time posting here and it because I'm kinda troubled pls I will need you guys to help me on this issue.
Since 2020 I have not been in good terms with my dad, and it all started with a little fight about drinking of the water in the fridge and my dad decided to lock the sitting room where the fridge was kept restricting my mom and myself to the room alone as at this time I was in 400lvl and 24years.
My dad doesn't drop money and home so I had to look for means to feed myself which was really new to me cos he has been the one sending money to me in school even thou he doesn't drop at home.
After then we kept having issues about him not giving me a private room in the house even up till now, then on a day like that an issue happened after I beating my 3years old niece he was so angry that he hits me severally at a conered spot that he almost hit my eyes I had to push him on the bed and ran out of the house, then the second day I packed my stuff's and left for school throughout 2021 I didn't come home till December and he didn't bother calling or sent me money not my school fee and project fee I did everything on my own.
I came home late last year and apologized and later I asked him for my school fee which I had not paid as at that time, he kept giving me excuses which I Know he has and left after much talk he gave me #50,000 out of like #150,000 but sincerely I didn't collect it cos I don't know where to get the remains then I got a job and saved up and paid.
Presently I'm very mad at him because he never cared about me or my mum, all he does with his money is to give it to his concubines. It really painful that I had to work for 7-9hours everyday while standing for 1k per day and my dad is out there spending his money for one LovePeddler.
Do u think he deserves my forgiveness??
Forgive him and move on with your life.
I salute your bravery too,some girls would have gone otherwise to get the same money but stay focused and see what God will do.
As for your tuition I do hope its sorted and if not you can dm me and let's see how that can be sorted.
pquaver: There is something called investigation.. And it is not conviction.. Irrespective of who you are in America you can be investigated.. I want to ask you will you say Air peace boss has a questionable character just that he was charged to court in the USA? Even though there was no conviction? Did all of us not celebrate it here on nairaland.? Trump, Biden Obama have all been looked into by the US authorities are u saying they are questionable characters?
But none of those you mentioned was investigated for anything near drug I guess. And none had either forfeited anything to the best of my knowledge.
If you do not commit any offense, you don't forfeit, its only offenders that are directed by court to forfeit or pay restitution as the case maybe.
Ok,I will leave you with this request incase you have access to him or Keyamo. Let him visit America anytime soon, just for a summer won't hurt him.
I will hear from soon when ever he decides to do that.
pquaver: Keyamo is a well known prosecutor, you are not.. He made a point and in the paragraph where Tinubu was called it was no direct link to drugs.. Let me ask you so do you believe that USA will catch a druglord take him to court, instead of prosecution they will make the drug lord forfeit accrued interest of the taxes plus taxes on the drug money and leave the remaining drug money for the druglord and let him go free without a conviction? The joke is on anyone who believes such.. If as you claimed is part of evidence, do why did Tinubu go to jail? Because from you that was proof of being a drug lord or was usa also in his pocket back then.. It shows that many Nigerian are not fighting for the good of a nation.. Why should your personal interest overshadow a glaring truth? It only points to 1 thing hatred. You type is the one when you hate someone if he is innocent and you are needed to testify in court as a witness of innocence, you will go there and say he committed the crime do he will be killed to satisfy your immediate interest..
On the contrary I do not hate ,known or have anything to do with Tinubu and neither Keyamo. But I have one question for you.
Did you think USA will go after someone without a questionable character?
They don't go after random people as you think,maybe you know first hand if you live here.
Let me say this for your record, we have had Nigerians and especially those into politics jumping bail/fail to answering to charges in foreign land in past e.g kashamu the ogun state senator.,what makes your master any different. I don't really care who becomes the president as long as our future can be secured but not in the hand of people with questionable character am ok.
pquaver: Keep quiet.. The truth stare you in the face. USA cannot catch a drug lord and neotiate 460,000 dollar deduction from his or her account and allow him keep the rest of the money and not send him to jail. The joke is on you...
Shut the bleep up,punk. How difficult is it for you to read through the redacted court draft before coming here to defend a second hand info from your lai lai snr bro. Its a forfeited money as part of the evidence by the prosecution team during the case. I can't believe someone like you still trust Keyamo who is doing the work he was paid for,same person that took Lagos assembly to court for same reason years ago.

Although 10 accounts were linked to All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, by United States authorities in the early 90s, $460,000 were deducted from one of the accounts as tax on investments domiciled in US banks.
This was the submission of the Chief Spokesperson for the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.
He was commenting on the controversy surrounding a document recently released by the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois said to have investigated Tinubu’s alleged involvement in narcotics and money laundering about 30 years ago.
The matter, which ended in a settlement, led to Tinubu’s forfeiture of $460,000 in one of the accounts linked to the former governor of Lagos State.
Keyamo said Tinubu took responsibility for all the 10 accounts because they were also traced to his mother and “relatives”.
Festus Keyamo on Channels Television’s Politics Today show on Wednesday, November 9, 2022
He also said Tinubu was roped in the drug trafficking case of two Nigerians who once stayed in separate flats in the same building where the ex-governor stayed at a time in the US.
“He, Asiwaju, went to open an account, the address by which he opened the account was already used by these people…investigated for narcotics,” he said.
‘Not A Deliberate Act’ Keyamo further stated that Tinubu was an employee of Mobil Oil and not a treasurer of a drug cartel.
He explained that Tinubu deposited some funds in bank accounts in the US as investments and got returns on those investments.
The spokesman said the banks were supposed to deduct taxes from the investments but they did not and this was not a “deliberate act” on the part of Tinubu.
“The deposits he made there (in banks) are what bankers called investments; he kept the money there and he was getting interests. They (US government) said he had not paid tax on those interests. That is all and guess what? The banks are supposed to deduct the tax from source.
“Out of the 10 accounts, it was only one account – the one in Heritage Bank – that they took $460,000 as tax on interest that he benefited on the investment he made in those accounts.
“In fact, all the money in Heritage Bank was not taken; they took only $460,000 as tax,” said Keyamo, who is also the Minister of State, Labour and Employment.
‘PDP Went To The US To Dust Old Document’ Keyamo insisted that there was no criminal indictment or conviction against Tinubu, alleging that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was behind the reincarnation of the controversial court document.
“His (Tinubu’s) detractors kept bringing up these issues over and over when his political profile is rising, when he wants to run for office or any political turn in his life, they will bring up these issues,” Keyamo said.
“The date on the papers flying up and down, the date of certification is 2022, so they are using this to confuse people that these are fresh papers. If documents are 40 years old or 100 years old, once you go to court, and apply for certified true copies of those documents, they will give you those documents but they will stamp the day they are giving you those documents.
“This is what our detractors, the PDP, perhaps that is what they went to the US for when they pretended that they went for high-level engagement. This is part of the high-level engagement they went for.”
Tinubu, 70, is in the 2023 contest for Aso Rock’s top job alongside top contenders like PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Labour Party in the contest many analysts have described as a three-horse race.
erico2k2: U made a vague assumption hence I responded in that way; In England and Wales you do not need a rod licence to fish if you are fishing more than 6 miles at sea.in the USA no licence to Rod fish at sea. NB, I have fished in them two countries B4
I never made any assumptions as u said,I only sighted an example of what happened to my friends wife while gone fishing and were punished for fishing with expired license. Irrespective of where u fish,having expired license is a no no either in England or America.
erico2k2: Do you know the laws surrounding fishing? and how far away off land you need a fishing licence? or U just deyt alk as we all dey talk?
Am not into fishing, that answer your first question. I don't need to know the exact laws guiding fishing anywhere but information available on net is enough to guide me on how and what to do if I want to. I was supporting the position you made earlier about people doing things According to law. I do not if you live close to where I am,then you may well understand my point
ObosiUkwalla: Who told you op that hippo is on the brink of extinction?? Abeg suffery dey lie
Fyi, hippopotamus is one of the most aggressive animals out there and it kills humans more than lions do. If it's not killed, it will definitely kill humans in that location.
It still doesn't remove the animal from been endangered, what's stopping them from contacting the relevant authorities to remove/relocate the animal before it cause any havoc to the people.
This is very tragic and that 19 year old cousin of yours must go to jail. He is evil and don't allow anyone tell you otherwise.
Also, take your son for medical check up and deliverance in Church if you're a Christian, otherwise, that boy may start having homosexual cravings even much later in life. Remember where he said he enjoyed it at first? That's a big red flag.
Please do the needful and report that gay pedophile to the nearest police station. Don't allow any family to beg you cos that's just too bad.
You have said it all,I just the mother will have the courage to report the issue before the entire family bullied her into submission.
