Dont derail this thread with another meaningless bible argument For "fools" like you, everything written in 'black & white' in the Bible is meaningless, that l can understand.
But when TWO people "willingly decide to come together" to live as "Husband & Wifey", they are UNDER OBLIGATION to LOVE, RESPECT and SUBMIT to another as the case maybe ........because that is the whole essence of saying "l am married to YOU"!

UIA04: Don't mind him I'm sure his ways aren't pure in the issue
Saweide I put it to u that u have slept With that other woman
U now brought your Story here for us to tell u what you want to hear that u Should breakup with her
A wise woman once Said it is the job of the man to love (his wife) (husbands love ur wife as Christ loved the church), jesus loves us not because we are faultless or because we don't Continue to sin, but because true love uplifts, purifies, listens and is tender. It is then the woman's job to humble herself for such. But love comes first
If u have no good qualities in her ill tell u one, she has being managing ur broke aSS for five years, Shebi she is a teacher you what are you doing with your life, Fucking For 100k.
WHAT if this woman that wants to give you money is worse, what if she is controlling? how does she make her money?
Yansh + 100k = confusion
It's not that your woman Dosen't want to be better everybody just has their own speed of growth , Some take days ,years etc
African men always expect a Perfect woman when they themselves lack good home training
However if all you said is true and u aren't guilty then PROVERBS 21vs 9. You either pack to your roof or break-up with her. Nice and sensible post. At the bolded part, you mixed it up and put the last first, and the first, last.
This is how it is in the Bible: The Wife FIRST, must Respect and submit to her husband. You can read it here: Ephesians 5: 22THEN, AFTER, the Man must love such "respectful and submissive" wife. You can read it here: Ephesians 5: 25Not the other way round. The way you put it is how feminazzis want the world to operate and that is the cause of all the marriage hiccups we face today!

@Op:Character is behaviour, formed over a very long time! Humans dont have the ability and capacity to change their Character though we can "subdue it" for very short periods (punishing ourselves, so to speak, for a particular reason).One of the most common and most devastating MISTAKES that have ruined most marriages is[b] for one spouse to think I WILL CHANGE THE OTHER SPOUSE. You cant[/b], if you think you have, that spouse is only punishing themselves, to fool you, so they can achieve whatever aim is most important to them right now. I am sure we have all heard stories of one spouse complaining that "my husband/wife just changed after our marriage" Truth is, they did not change, they just became their "normal self", after the "pretence period" was declared over, having achieved the reason for the pretence! So, ask yourself: Can l live the rest of my life with this woman, in her present state? I mean "the REST of your one Life"!!
If your answer is YES...... Please exercise patience and marry her and take good care of her.
If your answer is NO........Please plan to "excuse her' out of your life immediately. This wont be easy, she can poison you or kill you in the process so you need to make it "sudden, snappy and final". If you vacillate, you are toying with your Life!
Remember, hell has No-Fury, like a woman scorned.Finally, let me quote some Bible passages for you, so you can reflect on it: Ecclesiastes 7:26 - I find more bitter than death, the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her but the sinner she will ensnare! Proverbs 21:19 - Better to live in a DESERT (or on the roof-top!), than to live with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife! The CHOICE is YOURS and YOURS alone.... because its your life!  Lastpage! |

Politics › Re: How DSS Submitted Two Contradictory Reports On EFCC Boss, Magu To The Senate by lastpage: 12:43pm On Dec 20, 2016 |
baybeeboi: I dont know what Saharareporters and Premiumtimes are after.
The two reports indicted Mr Magu so i dont think the DSS should be instructing the NASS on the decision to be taken.
Both Reports carry same allegation and that is the most important from the report. Have you read the INVESTIGATION on the allegations of the DSS/SSS? If not, l urge you to read it and form your own opinion.
Read it here: http://saharareporters.com/2016/12/17/fact-check-senate-confirmation-how-dss-lied-against-efcc-boss-maguThursday, the Nigerian Senate declined to confirm the appointment of Ibrahim Magu as substantive chair of the country’s premier anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The upper legislative chamber claimed it could not approve the presidency’s request to confirm Mr. Magu based on a security report forwarded to it by the State Security Service.
“The Senate wishes to inform the public that based on available security report, the Senate cannot proceed with the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,” the spokesperson for the Senate, Aliyu Abdullahi, said in a statement read to journalists.
“The nomination of Ibrahim Magu is hereby rejected and has been returned to the President for further action,” Mr. Abdullahi said.
The Senate did not provide the EFCC chairman an opportunity to respond to the allegations against him.
PREMIUM TIMES has obtained details of the security report on which the lawmakers based their decision and has investigated the claims against Mr. Magu.
We fact-checked some of the claims made by the SSS, and below are our findings:
ALLEGATION ONE: That during the tenure of Farida Waziri as EFCC chairperson, sensitive documents were found in Mr. Magu’s home.
The facts do not support that claim. A reporter for this newspaper extensively reported that event in 2008 when it happened, and is familiar with what transpired at the time.
Based on pressure from political gladiators of the period (among which were former Governors James Ibori and Bukola Saraki), then President Musa Yar’Adua unceremoniously removed Nuhu Ribadu as chairman of the EFCC.
After Mr. Ribadu’s departure, his successor, Mrs. Waziri, frustrated some of his closest and most resourceful aides in the commission and harassed them for a prolonged period.
Mr. Magu, who was a chief superintendent of police at the time, was sent away from the EFCC and his Lagos and Abuja homes were raided by operatives even before he had the opportunity to hand over to Umar Sanda as head of the Economic Governance Unit of the Commission. He was later detained for three weeks.
Following complaints by Mrs. Waziri, the then Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro, queried Mr. Magu, accusing him of serious misconduct. One of the allegations against him was that he removed and withheld EFCC files.
On August 25, 2008, Mr. Magu replied the query, explaining to the IGP that no unauthorized EFCC official documents were found in his home.
“I wish to state that the nature of my assignment at the EFCC is such that I worked round the clock and it was impossible for me to do my work effectively without working on some documents at home,” he wrote to Mr. Okiro at the time. “This is the reason I maintain an office bag where documents relating to investigations were kept. The documents listed were found in my office bag which I was in the process of handing over and were not found hidden anywhere in my house.
“It is therefore not the correct position to say that I bluntly refused to hand over EFCC’s property and documents. I had just concluded handing over the Abuja office, and I was in Lagos to conclude handing over the Lagos office when the search was conducted. At the time of the search, I had not reported to my new command. It could therefore not be my intention to keep government documents in my house.
“I have suffered untold humiliation within the past one month. My home was ransacked, vandalized and my properties destroyed by men of the EFCC. I was detained in a cell meant for hardened criminals most of whom are armed robbers for three weeks. My health condition deteriorated as a result of his inhuman treatment meted out to me for doing my job diligently and with the pride required of a senior police officer of my rank in the Nigerian Police Force.
“I humbly implore the Inspector General of Police to totally exonerate me from blame and the said acts of serious misconduct because I was not involved and I am not involved. I will never be discouraged in my unrelenting war against crime and its associated manifestations as enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
After an investigation, the police IG exonerated Mr. Magu, posted him to the police’s Special Fraud Unit and promoted him to the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police shortly afterwards.
ALLEGATION TWO: That Mr. Magu currently occupies a residence rented for N40 million at N20 million per annum. This accommodation was not paid [for] from the commission’s (EFCC) finances, but by one Umar Mohammed, air commodore retired.
This claim is also untrue.
PREMIUM TIMES has obtained evidence showing the property in question was paid for by the Federal Capital Development Administration, and not Mr. Umar.
The E-Payment schedule, dated March 31, was issued by to the branch controller of Central Bank, Abuja, in favor of M/S Valcour SA-Nigeria Limited.
The company was paid N39.628 million as payment for two-year rent and furnishing of the property, located in upscale Maitama district of Abuja.
The payment schedule was signed by Isiyaku Ismaila and confirmed by Zanna A. Hamza.
Mr. Magu lived in Karu, a suburb of Abuja, before his appointment as acting EFCC chair. With his new position, Mr. Magu moved into an official residence provided by the FCDA.
ALLEGATION 3: That the acting EFCC chairman regularly embarked on official and private trips through a private jet owned by embattled Air Commodore Mohammed Umar (Rtd).
PREMIUM TIMES checks show that this is not entirely correct. Our investigations indicate that Mr. Magu first met Mr. Umar when both of them worked as members of the Presidential Committee on the investigation of arms procurement. At the time, Mr. Umar was very close to President Muhammadu Buhari and had unlimited access to the presidential villa. Both men became close during the assignment.
Our investigations indicate that once this year, Mr. Magu traveled to Kano in the company of EFCC’s Director of Finance and that in charge of organizational support. Those familiar with the trip said on their way back to Abuja, Mr. Umar, who at the time remained Mr. Magu’s colleague at the presidential committee, and who was at the time not in any trouble with the SSS, gave the two officials a lift.
We are unable to find any evidence that Mr. Magu flew in Mr. Umar’s private jet at any other time. Neither were we able to establish that the EFCC chairman flew to Maiduguri alongside Mr. Umar and a bank MD being investigated by the EFCC over complicity in funds allegedly stolen by former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
While some insiders at the commission denied the allegation, we could not independently verify the claims.
ALLEGATION 4: On 24 June 2016, he (Magu) flew Emirate Airlines first-class to Saudi Arabia to perform lesser hajj at the cost of N2.9m. This is in spite of Mr. President’s directive to all public servants to fly economy class.
Insiders say while it was true that Mr. Magu indeed flew first class to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj, he did not pay for the ticket with public funds. We could not, however, confirm this claim independently. Now, tell us if it is fair not to allow the man to defend himself against this allegations? Tell us if it is fair that the IGP at that time found the allegation to be false, even promoted the Magu to a Commissioner of Police and they are still trying to use it to ridicule the man? We Nigerians need to be smart and act in our best interest instead of falling prey to all these wicked politicians.Lastpage! |

What you should be concerned about are: *whether Magu is actually GUILTY of the accusations levelled against him, *Whether he was given a fair hearing and allowed to defend himself *Whether he was cleared by the IGP under whom he worked and was PROMOTED, despite the allegation, which the IGP found to be false *Whether those opposing his nomination are doing so in "self-interest" or in the interest of Nigerians *Whether SSS's Daura and Abba Kyari are trying to "cage' the President's war on corruption while doing "corrupt deals" behind him

Commonsense101: Some of you take this Nairaland shhr too seriously. You have a problem with your maiguard you open thread, you wake up on the wrong side of bed, you open thread.
You need to stop posting people's personal information the way you do . You're in violation of several NL rules, and possibly other privacy laws. I was first taken aback by the pictures and detailing only to go through your threads and see that This is not even the first time you're doing this. For someone who considers herself civil, this is quite un-civil, law courts and police stations exist for a reason. And if you have towed that path I don't get the point of your whole smear campaign . There are many many other rental property owners on this forum with problematic tenants, we don't see them being so petty. Your actions can be very far reaching.... these people have family, work mates, employers, children!!!
Make e no be say you be one of those overbearing landlords wey dey turn themselves to demi gods because them rent house out. You were once a tenant, check yourself. We're hearing your own side now, if we invite the various parties, torey fit charge. There are three sides to a story, I have just listened to this Recording while searching for something else and l humbly DISAGREE with your position on the matter.
I dont know if you listened to the tape before your comments but a situation where a Tenant threatens that the she would frustrate the Landlord to leave her house, threatens diabolical charms on the Landlord and intentionally but unnecessarily decide to inconvenience other occupants, is not acceptable. While l agree that the video does not paint a complete picture of what transpired in the past (and l always give benefit of doubt to the other party, when their own version of events is not available) but the little l heard on that tape is so annoying l feel like dragging that tenant out of that house, right now................ but that would be unlawful. I think pasting their pictures on Social Media is a reflection of the level of frustration this landlord has gone and is going through, though privacy laws might not support this.The Police do not generally play any vital role in a Landlord/tenant dispute and like @Diordaves has said, the Courts and legal process is her best option. The "Nigerian" Police see themselves as exploiter and beneficiaries from Chaos!Being that the House owner is a woman, (and probably a Single Mother), the tenants might be taking advantage of this. I could hear the Tenant harping on "You dont have anybody to call"! And that tells me they feel she is isolated and thus can be taken advantage-of, which l think is very wrong.Just like some Landlords are terrible, some tenants are just from Hell. They want to live Rent-free, dirty the compound, mess-up things, throw wild parties, inconvenience other tenants and act like they own the house!  I have met quite a few in the last 20-25yrs and have come to know that Landlords and Tenants are never designed to be Friends ... just "Hi-Hi" is how far it can go. What you want is what they dont want to give; what they want to give is what you dont want!Landlords need to generally, "prepare for this sort of days", before it happens. Have clearly mapped-out strategy, usually consisting of various 'options' (depending on the severity of the case at hand) to deal with any recalcitrant tenant. Dont allow it to get to the level where the Tenant feels he/she has an advantage or can threaten you in your own house.I generally dont show any pity or civility when it gets to this level, l will use all necessary means (but ensure that l cant be faulted openly), legal, illegal, to deal with the situation. If you dont have the leverage, you should be prepare to "buy it/pay for it" and as such, dont mind what it would cost you. It could come in form of legal fees or payment for alternative means, as long as you "make a point" and let the other Tenants get the vibe that you cant be messed with. They are watching and monitoring developments closely and forming their own opinion, for future use, as well. When l was young, my Mum use to say she is always ready to spend #1,000, to remove the insulting stain of a #5. I think @Diordaves have given the best advice on the matter. Ignore them while pursuing them legally. Get a sound Lawyer and pursue them in court. They will cry last the day Bailiffs come to "fonfey" their property because Tenants that talk the way that woman does, is the type that would disobey or not respond to a court summons. Lastpage! |

Most Nigerians ar not just d@ft, they are ignorant! Instead of facing issues, they make conjectures their daily staple.

Has any of you tried to read the content of the Security Report that was sued to refuse his confirmation by those corrupt Senators? It is only on the basis of "Good Information" that people should comment. Not because they like corruption, or hate Buhari or hate Yoruba or hate Hausas.Below is a copy of investigation on that so-called Security Report. Remember that Magu was NEVER given the opportunity to defend himself before the Senate or explain his part, before they just refused his confirmation. http://saharareporters.com/2016/12/17/fact-check-senate-confirmation-how-dss-lied-against-efcc-boss-maguOn Thursday, the Nigerian Senate declined to confirm the appointment of Ibrahim Magu as substantive chair of the country’s premier anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The documents listed were found in my office bag which I was in the process of handing over and were not found hidden anywhere in my house.
“It is therefore not the correct position to say that I bluntly refused to hand over EFCC’s property and documents. I had just concluded handing over the Abuja office, and I was in Lagos to conclude handing over the Lagos office when the search was conducted. At the time of the search, I had not reported to my new command. It could therefore not be my intention to keep government documents in my house.
“I have suffered untold humiliation within the past one month. My home was ransacked, vandalized and my properties destroyed by men of the EFCC. I was detained in a cell meant for hardened criminals most of whom are armed robbers for three weeks. My health condition deteriorated as a result of his inhuman treatment meted out to me for doing my job diligently and with the pride required of a senior police officer of my rank in the Nigerian Police Force.
“I humbly implore the Inspector General of Police to totally exonerate me from blame and the said acts of serious misconduct because I was not involved and I am not involved. I will never be discouraged in my unrelenting war against crime and its associated manifestations as enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
After an investigation, the police IG exonerated Mr. Magu, posted him to the police’s Special Fraud Unit and promoted him to the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police shortly afterwards.
ALLEGATION TWO: That Mr. Magu currently occupies a residence rented for N40 million at N20 million per annum. This accommodation was not paid [for] from the commission’s (EFCC) finances, but by one Umar Mohammed, air commodore retired.
This claim is also untrue.
PREMIUM TIMES has obtained evidence showing the property in question was paid for by the Federal Capital Development Administration, and not Mr. Umar.
The E-Payment schedule, dated March 31, was issued by to the branch controller of Central Bank, Abuja, in favor of M/S Valcour SA-Nigeria Limited.
The company was paid N39.628 million as payment for two-year rent and furnishing of the property, located in upscale Maitama district of Abuja.
The payment schedule was signed by Isiyaku Ismaila and confirmed by Zanna A. Hamza.
Mr. Magu lived in Karu, a suburb of Abuja, before his appointment as acting EFCC chair. With his new position, Mr. Magu moved into an official residence provided by the FCDA.
ALLEGATION 3: That the acting EFCC chairman regularly embarked on official and private trips through a private jet owned by embattled Air Commodore Mohammed Umar (Rtd).
PREMIUM TIMES checks show that this is not entirely correct. Our investigations indicate that Mr. Magu first met Mr. Umar when both of them worked as members of the Presidential Committee on the investigation of arms procurement. At the time, Mr. Umar was very close to President Muhammadu Buhari and had unlimited access to the presidential villa. Both men became close during the assignment.
Our investigations indicate that once this year, Mr. Magu traveled to Kano in the company of EFCC’s Director of Finance and that in charge of organizational support. Those familiar with the trip said on their way back to Abuja, Mr. Umar, who at the time remained Mr. Magu’s colleague at the presidential committee, and who was at the time not in any trouble with the SSS, gave the two officials a lift.
We are unable to find any evidence that Mr. Magu flew in Mr. Umar’s private jet at any other time. Neither were we able to establish that the EFCC chairman flew to Maiduguri alongside Mr. Umar and a bank MD being investigated by the EFCC over complicity in funds allegedly stolen by former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
While some insiders at the commission denied the allegation, we could not independently verify the claims.
ALLEGATION 4: On 24 June 2016, he (Magu) flew Emirate Airlines first-class to Saudi Arabia to perform lesser hajj at the cost of N2.9m. This is in spite of Mr. President’s directive to all public servants to fly economy class.
Insiders say while it was true that Mr. Magu indeed flew first class to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj, he did not pay for the ticket with public funds. We could not, however, confirm this claim independently. Now, Judge for yourself. What manner of "Justice" allows youto convict a man, without "fair-hearing"? Lastpage! BTW: Magu will continue be EFCC Chair, in acting capacity with full powers to prosecute, for 3yrs, 11months and 30days, if this thieving Senators and Senate refuse to confirm him ....and if Buhari gets re-elected, he will be re-nominated again! |

back2sender: When are pictures allowed to be taken in court? Is that not an offence on its own. Anyway i was in court my office is just 50 naira transport to to the court premises, The judge also mentioned the sanctity of the court premises needs to be respected hence no picture taking is allowed. On the case it self, nothing personal but the accused is still remanded and the case adjourned. This is all i can say for now, this is end of the year and i have goals am trying to get over, no time for roforofo fight. [b]STOP yarning lubbish! The first report about a week ago said "Accused was granted BAIL" with sureties. Read it here: https://www.nairaland.com/3496421/estate-agent-docked-over-n5mNow, you come here to tell us "the Accused remains REMANDED IN CUSTODY!
Which one are we to believe....and you say it is nothing personal?Is it that you dont know the difference between BAIL and REMAND?Again, there was a Judge and a Court, when the first report was made and gleefully reproduced by all of you . Back then, there was no-need to "respect the sanctity of the Court"...
But now that the news report "might" not be so favourable or does not portray the accused in further bad light, you'all suddenly start formong "respecting the sanctity of the Court"?  Brabus shenanigans and bad business aside, l believe in FAIRNESS TO ALL SIDES.[/b] Just make a "tale" of issues as they occurred...... No additions or embellishments!Case was adjourned........... and does it make sense to say the accused continued to be remanded in prison, when he was initially granted BAIL and has come out here to say he has perfected his Bail conditions? (or was he posting from the Prison cell )SMH. Lastpage! |

FastShipping: Waste of time reporting some hopeless cursed kids on this forum. The moderator here only work once in six month. One lazy lawyer for that matter. We had a good moderator here that was relieved with no explanation given.
I had to hit hard on this particular miscreant and lunatic who is on this particular thread. He claimed he was defrauded by Brabus but whoever advises him to go to the police, he insults them and accuses them of working with Brabus. He believes he won't get justice going to the police and also thinks the system is rigged against him. He fears for his life each time he is advised to report to the police what Brabus did to him. I have no idea why he hates seeing the police. He rather cry, whine and nag on this thread and hopes we all cry and whine with him like a cry baby that he is. He wants whoever comes on this thread to pledge allegiance to him and promise they cry and whine with him for what Brabus did to him.
No need to be gentleman with these hopeless kids here. They are the first to insult but the first to start crying, whining and screeching in pain when they get hit hard. I once thought playing nice was good but I was wrong.
Time for playing nice with any hopeless kid is over. You hit them hard in the mouth once they crawl out from their holes.
Watch this space as this particular hopeless kid son of a lunatic detonates his suicide belt and blows up this place.  Aaaaah! Suicide Belt like how?
Dont tell me you want me to add his Suicide Belt to that Lunatic, while he was asking the Bronze statue how to Detonate it?  Lastpage! BTW: I am really sad that of all the "people" that promised to see Brabus jailed at Igbosere on Dec 15th........and they would go and give evidence, NONE has been able to come back and report to the house, WHAT TRANSPIRED, WITH 'PINCHURES'? Not one, single person! That seems very strange to me!  Brabus, please give me jist now, or is it until they say otherwise? Even the thread started and moved to top of the front page has just disappeared and l cant locate it there anymore.  |
