When u say men Definitely it can't be all men...when some men complain about some women definitely it can't be all.. I have seen, met, knew worst women b4, and also seen worst men..so your topic that men are hypocritical is what I still do not grab. You should have rather said some on the topic..because if we are to talk of opening trends about women..some do for fun, some from experiences

.

Ohh my ex who I accepted wholeheartedly but didn't know her main reasons for quitting , she had her nice parts will never deny that.

Congrats to them God bless their home...it's nice, wishing same...all hope not lost though..God can still turn things around..

His last conversation shows his bravery and leadership skills...it's sad he died in the line of duty, hope his family, wife and kid will not be left to suffer. Government should have a robust scheme to adequately take care of dependents of Soldiers irrespective of their ranks.. who loose their life for the peace and unity of our nation..they are the one who have paid most sacrificial price for us all as a nation irrespective of tribe and location , we might not be in the north east but the peace in the north east is the peace of Nigeria as a whole...Adieu to a great ambassador, gallant man, brave officer of our dear nation.

The last I know about marriage is he who finds a wife,finds a good thing and obtains favor from God, not she who finds a husband.., she is entitled to her wants in a man, but she should not start publishing standards, rather let the standards be in her mind, if they appear and they do not meet up, they go...anyways wish her the best in her search

Her kind gesture is good and appreciable, but there are other ways this same act can be done without too much publicity... many do this on a daily basis without trending on any social media platform, believe the reward comes greater that way. This way some will still come out with different sort of stuffs that she is doing this mayb to seek public attention or for some more deep spiritual reasons.. charity is good, but the more you key in too much publicity to receive praise from humans the whole essence is sometimes defeated...it's my opinion though,you are entitled to yours.

this isn't news again.... it's almost as popular as the National anthem sang in schools on a daily basis, how long shall we continue hearing, "we met empty treasury ", "we are not responsible for the recession " ,"recession is just a word" enough of blame game, funds are recovered let them utilize this and stop all this pity party talks, Government is a continual you inherit assets and liabilities together, you accept blame if things are not going fine, not about giving excuses for not performing by shifting your incompetency to past leaders....

Suspends amendment of Electoral Act on substitution of dead presidential, gov candidates
We can’t conduct relection without security guarantees, says INEC
Omololu Ogunmade and Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja

The Senate wednesday threatened to boycott sittings if by December 10 the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) fails to conduct outstanding rerun elections in Rivers State.

This resolution was the fallout of a motion moved by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, in which he alleged flagrant breach of constitutional and Electoral Act 2010 provisions as well as disobedience to court orders by INEC’s failure to conduct outstanding elections.

Ekweremadu in his motion, expressed dismay over the decision of the electoral body to act on the resolution of the Senate on September 27, 2016, which implored it to conclude all pending rerun elections in the country.

He said it was appalling that INEC had continued to act in breach of Sections 14(2c) of the 1999 Constitution which he said guaranteed the participation of all parts of Nigeria in the governance of their country.

He said INEC’s perceived recalcitrance against the conduct of the elections also violates Section 76 of the Constitution which orders INEC to conduct elections into the Senate and House of Representatives on an appointed date.

Ekweremadu who lamented non-representation of the senatorial districts of Rivers State in the activities of the Senate for almost a year, described INEC’s action as not only an affront to various laws of the land but also unfair to the entire people of the state.

Whereas Ekweremadu’s initial prayer gave INEC the ultimatum to conduct the election before the end of this month, failing which he said Senate should suspend plenary, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Senator Abu Kyari, later informed the parliament that INEC had assured the committee to conduct the election on December 10.

The information provided by Kyari therefore led to an amendment to the prayer, asking INEC to conduct the elections on December 10, failing which it said the Senate would shut down plenaries.
Ekweremadu said: “We observe that in spite of Senate resolution 016/02/16 of September 27, 2016 calling on the INEC to immediately conclude all pending rerun elections in the country, INEC has failed, refused and or neglected to conduct rerun elections in Rivers State into the Senate, House of Representatives and State Houses of Assembly.

“We also observe that the failure of INEC to conduct the rerun elections in Rivers State within the time frame ordered by the respective elections tribunals and the courts is in breach of the Electoral Act and Section 76 of the 1999 Constitution is endangering the nation’s democracy.

“Further observe that non-representation of the entire people of Rivers State in the Senate and some constituencies of Rivers State in the House of Representatives and State Houses of Assembly is in breach of Section 14 (2c) of the 1999 Constitution which enjoined the participation of every part of this country in the governance of Nigeria and this endangers peace and order in Rivers State.

“Further observe that failure of INEC to conduct elections in Rivers State has continued to deny the people of Rivers State their constitutional guaranteed rights to be represented in the legislative houses where laws affecting them are being made and endangered probable anxiety amongst people of the state.

“Accordingly resolves that INEC should conduct the elections on December 10, failing which the Senate will suspend plenary.”

Supporting the motion, Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, lamented that Rivers State had been denied involvement in various important decisions affecting them including the debate on Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) which passed second reading wednesday.

Ndume lamented that if INEC was grappling with inability to conduct election in only one state, it would be problematic to expect the same commission to conduct a successful election in 2019, observing that the elections conducted so far by the current leadership of INEC has either been inconclusive, suspended or characterised by confusion.

He said: “We all know that it is not the content but the intent of this motion and the urgency in it. When we come here, we combine jobs with seriousness but we should know the difference between the jokes and whatever interpretation that we may give.

“You can imagine that today, we are about to discuss PIB without any member from Rivers State. You can imagine, our colleagues that were seated with us here, an election was conducted, they believed they won. Somebody elsewhere said they didn’t win. But the truth of the matter is that anyone of us here could have been in that position. Let us remember this: whatever happens to you, you should think of another person. If it is our colleague from Rivers today, it could be you any day.

“You can imagine if for whatever reason, for example, myself who had been a victim and our people who have been victims of insurgency, if elections were not conducted, I will not be here, let alone being the Senate Leader. How would it be for my people who are ravaged by insurgency not to have somebody to tell you people or my colleagues what is actually on ground? Just imagine the motions we raised that led to the passage of the bill on the North-east Development Commission.”

In his remark, Senate President Bukola Saraki, described the motion as important, pointing out that INEC must not fail to conduct the election on December 10 as it had failed previously.
He said the Senate had the responsibility to ensure that INEC does not derail from its primary duty, insisting that this election must take place on December 10, “because it endangers all the things that we are doing here if a particular state is not well represented.”

Also yesterday, the Senate’s move to amend the Electoral Act 2010 to provide for the substitution of a dead governorship or presidential candidate before the announcement of result with the first runner-up in the party primary.

The amendment was meant to circumvent the repeat of the crisis which accompanied the death of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abubakar Audu, at the November 2015 gubernatorial election in Kogi State.

The amendment which was among several amendments being carried out on the Electoral Act 2010 was meant to amend Section 36 of the Electoral Act “by inserting a new sub-section ‘3’ which provides for the substitution of a candidate of a political party who dies before the declaration of the result of an election with the first runner up in the party’s primaries (which was won by the deceased candidate.”

However, the parliament was forced to suspend the amendment because it was not satisfied with the committee’s recommendation on the mode of substituting dead candidates as debate on the matter was contentious. Therefore, the senators resolved to send the bill back to the committee for further legislation and consultation that will lead to a more acceptable recommendation.
However, INEC has insisted that it cannot go ahead with the conduct of the re-run senatorial elections without adequate security guarantees by the security agencies.

The commission said it was ready for the conduct of the election any day but that the situation on ground does not permit a peaceful exercise.

It blamed politicians and the two major political parties, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of refusing to commit themselves to a rancour-free election.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Chairman of INEC, Rotimi Oyekamni, who spoke with THISDAY yesterday on telephone, said the commission has done almost everything necessary to get the key actors see reason to allow the election to be conducted in a peaceful atmosphere but that they keep trading words and issuing threats against each other.

According to him, the commission had held several peace meetings and conferences with a view to getting the parties and other stakeholders to give an undertaken to ensure that their members do not unleash violence during the poll but that not much was achieved.

He gave an instance of one of such meetings held in Abuja where representatives the two parties, PDP and APC almost exchanged fisticuffs as they disagreed on how to go about the electoral contest.

Oyekamni said what the commission was mostly concerned about is the safety of lives of the innocent voters, its officials and the ad hoc staff provided by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

“What we are saying is that in order for us to organise an election the atmosphere has to be very peaceful. The law empowers INEC to suspend any election if there is a threat of violence, not even the actual violence or occurrence of violence. What we are saying is that we cannot put our staff at risk when we are hearing of war songs from political parties.”

According to him, “You will recall that in March this year we held that election in Rivers which was disrupted by violence. In fact, an NYSC member was killed at that time and a lot of our staff were also sounded. So INEC was forced suspend that election.

“Since that time, we have been trying to bring the political, parties together to agree on a new date and to also undertake to be peaceful and observe all rules and regulations. I may this year we organised a workshop in Abuja where brought all the parties in order to fashion out a timetable for the re-run elections in Rivers State.

“Even the Inspector General of Police was represented at that workshop but you will not believe that it ended without any tangible result because the two political parties, PDP and APC started trading accusations and engaged in a verbal war and almost ended in fist-cuffs,” he said

cc lalasticlala, seun

Hello your issue isn't relatively new, a lot of female folks go through this in all the classes of jobs out there, b4 I go ahead to advise you, pls ans these questions, how long have you been in the said job? How long into your being employed has he been disturbing you? Is the said person the owner of the firm or just a top management staff there? Do you have female married women as colleagues of superiors, has there been any form of discussion open or private discussion in which this said person was part of where you had to mention things about relationships and other matters One thing is sure, if he does not own the firm, he can't sack you just because of that, report him to higher authorities you trust their opinion or judgments,and listen to what they say, and if it happens he has the power to sack you, if you concede or not, if he still wants too he will, so giving him isn't your sustenance in the job, prayerfuly deal with him and if he insists and the worst wants to happen, the decision is yours,but he laying with you once and you refusing other times could even still make you loose the job, so just be determined, if the worst occurs because of that, you will be vindicated your job isn't your sustenance but God is...a new and better one will come if he decides to sack you, ans those other questions if you can and will add more tactics you can use against him.

FG assures freed girls of qualitative medical care
Tobi Soniyi in Abuja and Martins Ifijeh in Lagos

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the federal government is ready to continue negotiations with Boko Haram for the release of the remaining Chibok secondary school girls as long as international organisations are involved.

The president’s media aide, ‎Mr. Femi Adesina, said the president gave the condition during a meeting with the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mr. Peter Maurer, at the State House, Abuja, yesterday.



Buhari commended the role played by the Red Cross in the release of the 21 abducted Chibok schoolgirls who were freed last Thursday after the federal government paid an undisclosed amount of money to the terror group, urging the Red Cross to sustain its humanitarian efforts in Nigeria.

‎He said his administration was prepared to continue talks with the Boko Haram insurgent group “as long as they agree to involve international agencies like ICRC”.

“We’ve seen the result of recent talks, 21 of the Chibok girls are back,” the president said, referring to the role played by ICRC in providing immediate humanitarian assistance to the girls, who had spent over 900 days in the hands of their abductors.

Buhari said Nigeria’s biggest problem was perhaps the issue of internally displaced persons (IDPs), noting that there were over 2 million of them, “made up of over 60 per cent women and children”.

“About 60 per cent of the children don’t know their parents, or where they come from. It is weighing heavily on government,” he added.

On rebuilding of destroyed infrastructure in the Boko Haram-ravaged North-east, Buhari said it was the priority of government, noting that the G7 countries had equally indicated support, which Nigeria has heartily welcomed.

“We appreciate all your efforts. I am pleased you recognised that our military is cooperating with civil authorities, and respecting humanitarian issues. It is a difficult time for Nigeria. About 27 of our 36 states couldn’t pay salaries when we came last year, and we are still struggling with that. But we will get out of it,” the president said.

Maurer said the Red Cross’ operation in the Lake Chad region was the second largest in the world, after Syria, adding that there were nutritional, health, water and sanitation issues in the North-east, in addition to the rebuilding of infrastructure.

“We are ready to engage and play a supportive role in responding to the crisis in Nigeria. Security is a lot better than it was a year ago, but humanitarian problems are serious and don’t disappear so quickly,” Maurer said.

The Red Cross president also commended Nigeria for granting increased access to detainees and exchanges with the Armed Forces.

He added: “Detention facilities have improved, there are fewer deaths and things are better health-wise.”

Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, has said that the federal government has the capacity to provide qualitative medical care for the 21 released Chibok girls, and those to be released later.

The minister, who spoke during his visit to the freed Chibok girls in Abuja yesterday to assess their wellbeing, said the girls were in one of the best medical facilities in Abuja, and a team of doctors, nurses, psychologists, oncologist and many more professionals from the ministry, National Hospital, Abuja and Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, Abuja were attending to their needs.

“This facility is one of the best facilities you can have around, we have assembled a team of professionals with support from the National Hospital and Federal Medical Centre Jabi to look after them,” he said.

The minister said that the team would monitor the girls in the next couple of days to ensure that their health improves, including paying attention to their nutritional support and subsequent integration into the society.

Earlier in his remarks, the Senate Majority Leader, Muhammad Ali Ndume, commended the Ministry of Health for its prompt response in providing medical care for the girls once they were brought to the hospital.

He said: “I was excited with the level of response from the Federal Ministry of Health; it means that appropriate things had been done when the girls were brought here, that is why the changes were visible in them.”

While calling on Nigerians to show love and support to the 21 released Chibok girls, he expressed delight that there was a clear difference between when they were brought to the hospital last week and monday.

“It is quite clear that their physical condition has improved and their health has also improved,” he added.

Smallville10:
drop ur nickname

Larushi

Another Boko Haram is likely gonna emerge , having a sect in a religion with different ideology isn't a yard stick for Government to wipe them out, they are harmless in their protests, they shouldn't force them to a point where their sympathizers in other islamic nations will empower them against the Government, I am a Christian but totally against the attack on Shites sect of the islamic religion....the same way we have denominations in christianity though with some different ideology so the Muslims should be allowed to have freedom of association.

Hmmm our joking president, did he waste our hard earned resources to go to Germany and make funny statements, how will they take us serious as a country where we have jokers as leaders...u are in front of one of the most powerful woman in the world, and u still joke about your own wife belonging to the kitchen, if the German president was in the kitchen would she be where she is, if hillary Clinton was in the kitchen would she be contesting, if the British pm was in the kitchen would she be there today,if laggard was in t kitchen would she have headed the IMF today, if Mrs Aisha Buhari was in the kitchen would Buhari win the election, our leaders need to know that any statement made outside this country can make or mar our economy, hope they learn early enough...

Was at gtb to make inquiry about the dollar master card, they told me 38dollars instant charge for the card and 15dollars yearly as service fee...

Onegai:
Thanks for doing this. Here is my take:

Thorpido, tearoses, cococandy, Aisha2, Ifyalways, Bukatyne and some others from that old thread of hers;

2 years ago, she came here with a similar issue of poor choices. You guys even told her to NOT follow another man until she was sorted. She got sympathy, tough love and more. She argued with all the tough love and then seemingly accepted the good advice. But she didn't follow through.

She is already doing the same thing again. She has lost her cool, apologised and is now seemingly accepting good advice.

I do NOT believe it is that easy to change. I do NOT trust myself to change so easily, talk less of another. So I don't believe this. She's overwhelmed right now. When things stabilise, there is nothing stopping her from finding another guy and latching on. She keeps looking for a Father figure. But she thinks she's strong and has quite some misplaced pride and huge victim complex.

I wouldn't give her money for a business yet. Because she has been unable to manage even her personal finances and prioritise what is important, why will she amazingly run a business successfully?

I think we should come to an agreement with her mum and her place that she's taking her Beauty course. Even if she cannot pay up, she can learn trade on the floor i.e. she can pay for her training by working for the salon. So if she refuses to show up after a while, she gets nothing. That's how Apprentices get paid: working and learning. Same with paying with her upkeep: weekly paying for housekeeping. She doesn't pay, her mum should unscrew the light bulbs in the room, unplug the fan and lock the kitchen.

Because when anyone doesn't pay their rent and doesn't show up to work, the landlord and the employer deal with them. That is not harsh, that is reality.

Anyone who wishes to give her money, do NOT give her directly. Maybe Thorpido or Tehn can hold that money and tell her, in 6 months they will match whatever amount she has saved in her bank account. If all she has is N2000, they give her N2000. If she has N30,000, they add N30,000. Reward good behaviour, no mollycoddling.

She has to have someone to be constantly reporting to. If she was abroad, she would have CPS checking in and monitoring her progress (there is no such thing as "Free Help" ).

If we can get some mum who is doing her antenatal at GH Igando from Pregnancy Thread in Health section to help check that she comes for her antenatal.

You cannot save her. Talking to her sweetly may make you feel good about yourself, but all she is hearing is "this person understands that everyone in my life is evil!" and even if you tell her good advice, she will only listen to the soothing "It's not your fault, we all make mistakes" words.

Abandoning school is a mistake. Shacking up with a criminal guy and getting pregnant for him is a mistake. Coming back to your parents and fighting their decisions concerning your welfare is a mistake. Not taking your life seriously is a mistake. Hooking up with yet another man and getting pregnant for him a mistake. Not getting a steady source of income is a mistake.

Making all those mistakes together, that's an issue.

We can work on the emotional is easier when she stabilises herself. Doing those tasks gets her mind on the right path and receptive to Pyschological help.

That's my take.

Loisemm, I'm considering stepping back. She's a lot of work and she's not willing. Worse, people here are using her to attempt scoring some cheap points to boost their egos.

U have indeed said well, being following her closely, she needs to learn how to do things herself, savings, learning a trade, survival etc, b4 anyone augments her own effort, God bless u, u are truly a nice woman

Definitely the mediators know the exact location of these gals and likewise the commandants and generals of the BH, who released them shakau or the new BH leader?? It's not about them released a lot should be asked because innocent Soldiers have lost their life's, their wives turned widows, if others can be swapped, our soldiers should be reduced, so they do not just waste away while the criminals are released from cell to swap for the kidnapped girls... so celebration isn't the only thing...a lot of questions should be asked.
