How would you have solved the problem of #insurgency in Nigeria if you were the #president.

The most reasonable answer wins N10,000.00. Tag one friend and drop your answer so they too can participate, the President is reading.

NB. Don't copy anyone, else you will be disqualified.

Let's play!!!

*remove the current generals and appoint the ones very loyal too me which their primary assignment will be finding an effective method to ensure all military personal moral are on the rise and happy to serve their country at all times *immediate retirement for generals who has been active since the inception of boko haram for they are failures and thives and the appiontee of new generals based on merit *as the gcfr all allocation for arms and ammunition will be supercede by an agency who will report directly to me which i will be the head *all military personel who lst their lifes fightin insurgency wil be a hero

SpecialAdviser:
What do you want him to do? Give up? Nah.
Politics is a game of win or lose. Fight to the best, if you lose so be it.

Those who gave up easily have been forgotten long ago. You can ask Ambode.

I don't know much of him but I expect him to fight like a man irrespective of any outcome.

at least the state resources is still at his reach, he can use them too fight to the last na

paulolee:

AmazingELixir:



Where's Prof Akintola of MURIC....his views are needed.


Meanwhile


“The insurgents in gun trucks and armored tanks, came around 10am. They operated for about six hours and left around 4pm,” he said.


And yet Burutai is deceiving himself wanting to mimicking Idris debby

have you ever once think that information is power

6hrs per week, yes you heard me per week not day, here in igwuruta Port Harcourt

Eulalia:
Which school is that?

From kinder they are taught the primary colors blue, yellow red.

In nursery the first set of secondary colors we teach are green, orange and purple. So how come your nursery pupils don't know orange as a color? Anyways, it depends on the standard of the school though.

you said in nursery. It took a child three years to scale through nursery education right. Nursery 1,2 and 3. From nursery 1, they are taught the primary colors

A nursery one pupil don't know an orange as a colour yet, but they know O is for Orange(fruit). U have Ur answer

@kingzaddy this link is not going through

If she starts talking now, same people will still complain that she should stop talking as she's just a wife of a governor. I tire for humans

@kingzaddy why is it taking ages to create the WhatsApp group, if you don't want to create, just drop your number here so we can contact you

Parents is responsible for the rise and the downfall of their children, teach your children the way so when they grow they won't deviate from such, it takes great choices and courage for a child who was not loved or cared for by the parents to be responsible.

Love softens the heart, where there is no love you find hardship and sorrow. Yes the children too are to be blamed for not making the right choices, some chose the easy way out by becoming criminals based on their hardened Root and some just work harder to become who they are today. But the parents are simply the outcome of what their children become in the future.

Bro I understand this feeling kpa.

I grew up in Festac when Festac was still Festac. I lived with my aunt then, attended a private school and all that.

I never knew hardship all my life until my aunt died.

I had to go live with my Father who was not really financially buoyant and had 4 kids already excluding me. When I got to my Fathers house, I began to understand that life is not rosy at all.

Popsy worked in a Factory and could barely take care of us.

When I finished secondary school, the next option was to go look for a Job.

The first job I did was a motor boy for a pure water company. My job was to load the truck with bags of pure water, go with the driver to customers shops and offload the pure water.

The craziest day of my life was when my secondary school colleagues were doing the usual SS3 graduation. My school ordered for pure water from the company I worked for.

I was to go deliver the pure water with the driver. The funniest part, I was wearing my school trouser that day because I barely had clothes to wear.

Omo, I told the driver to go alone on agreement that he would collect my salary for that day. I could not bare the shame.

After working at that company for two months, I left because the salary was little. I went to try bricklaying.

Bricklaying was the trend in my area then.

The first bricklaying job I did, everyone laughed at me. The way I held the shovel sef was funny. We worked for a while the cement finished, the man in charge told me and my friend to go carry cement from a far distance.

There was no wheelbarrow so me and my friend had to carry the cement on our head, I carried one bag of cement, my friend carried two bags.

See ba, after work that day, they paid me 1,500. I used 1,000 Naira to treat myself. I swore never to go back.

When I seat down and imagine my life. I can't help but thank God.

Check out my signature guys

for some guys this is just normal things

I have cheated death so many times that right now, I am not afraid of death anymore because I believe if death did not took me those times,it will take more than a death to take me this time o

Part of Kelga is also on lockdown. Igwuruta

Cheers

thank you sir. (PRAYER WORKS)

Sequel to the topic I posted.

https://www.nairaland.com/5836671/father-killing-mom-gradually,

I tried persuading my Mom severally to give in some space, but the more I persuade her, the more she became furious. So I have decided not to persuade her any longer, she probably have her reason why she is still holding on, and I respect her decision.

A God sent wise man once told me "Your mum issue will be sorted out only if you find your path first" and this has been my goal from the moment he told me finding my path.

My school fees has been cleared and sorted by a nairalander I don't know if he/she would want me to mention names but I will keep his/her moniker a secret.

Another nairalander also sent me a huge gift to support me and my family, up till this moment, I can't recognize them facially nor have we ever meet or chat before, but in the space of a minute they changed my life. I'm really grateful sir/ma. THANK YOU FOR TURNING MY TIDE SIR/MA.

THANK you to everyone who took their time advising me on the steps to be taking, though I was barred from commenting on the post, I followed each and everyone post.

Thank YOU NAIRALAND

THANK YOU TO THE MODERATOR WHO MOVED MY POST TO FRONT PAGE

THANK YOU NAIRALANDERS

LebanonCedars2:
@Lekan239,

My story was more like yours, maybe worse. But in my case, my mother was the one that abandoned us. Today, I can only testify to God's faithfulness.

Please, how much is your school fees?

Please drop your whatsapp number here. I'll come back later today to pick it.

With you on God's side, you, your siblings and mum will surely come out stronger, better and blessed.

If he sell the lands, be sure that he will disappear for 2yrs and only return when the money finish.

Relocate your mom to the village, it will be difficult at first but within 18months period she will adapt to villa life. Your 23yrs old younger sis is in good hands and maybe after her finals, she should go stay with her till NYSC.

Fear of change is stopping her from making the move. Leaving her church( family) , neighbours and friends.

Talk to her pastor to help talk to her.

exactly

GerogeI:
You will not solve your mother's problem by breaking down the house. At some point in life, your mother will still need a companion, even a half enemy, when you are all gone. So leave the lazy man, let him eat food if your mother can find.

Your mother, your father have lived their lives, made their mistakes, etc. What matters is what you do.

You are at least 27 years, first child, a son and you did not visit your mother for over two years. Who then is her strength and confidant. Every woman holds her lifes aces in her first son. Check and change yourself because it seems you are walking in your fathers shoes.

As long as your mother hears your voice and knows you are progressing, she will never count the food your father steals a loss, because from him, she bore you, who is wonderful and awesome. Everything she ever dreamt of, a gift she will oneday cherish giving confidently to another young woman. Knowing she brought you up right. So make yourself awesome and wonderful, the reason why all her sacrifice was worth it. I did not say get rich quick, be availble, be involved, be attentive, listen, contribute, make solutions.

Further, if your father has resources that are under utilised in the village. Hatch a plan of what to do with them. Go over your plan with your mother. Then go over to your father and make him buy your ideas man to man. Gradually you will take over those resources and use them to carter for your mother and the rest. If your father is lazy, then he is lazy and there is nothing you can do to change that. But you can play him like a smart young man, and give comfort to your mother. If you let him carry on as is by being angry, you will loose your inheritance to strangers, resources that could help your mother.

Your parents are too old for the kind of seperation you seek. Your Mum has already finished the work. At their age, couples are rather fond of each other, not highly sexaully attracted to each other. So whats the fuse. Just use your young mind to grow your self and organise your family.

Indirect leadership. The better you do, the happier your mother will be!

Also, do not trust so much in your mothers relatives. If she goes to them they will grow weary of her after a while. The problems you have might also be in those place.

Men run from responsibilities in bad economy. It is so common, am not saying it is ok. Further, men are highly likely to run from their homes after the age of 35-45. The age of mid- life crisis. When they see they failed at there dreams. Many give up for the drudgery of day yo day survival. Most blame their choice of wife as the reason for their failure, especially those that married too early. Others just overcome by finding women outside.

One way you can help your father is to get close to him, ask a lot of questions about his dreams as a young man. You will rekindle in him hope that he can succeed and live through you. Maybe then he might surmon the energy to stand for his family. If nit, at least you all can tolerate each other better. So be the bridge and not the river.

Then guard yourself against reacting to midlife crisis like your father did. It is just psychology. Dreams are hard to build, but hope is never lost.

wow this is very helpful, thanks

Arobake:
You won't drop out in the mighty Name of Jesus.
Please make contact with me. I'm struggling too, but God is a miracle working God and He will make a way.

Do get in touch. It will be well.

Thank you.

thank you and God bless, I just sent you an email

bukatyne:
Maybe you NEED to engage her very very well.

A 23yr old girl is NOT a baby and can take good care of herself.

The truth is that UNTIL your mom is 'ready' to get on her feet and say no more, you will keep swimming against the tide and you will later feel very betrayed when she forgets all your efforts and goes back to your dad.

yes this is my next plan of action thanks

Welcomme:
You are from which state?

ekiti state

Gloriagee:
Sorry about all the negative experiences. I think it should serve as a lesson for you in future on how not to treat your spouse.

I truly don't think you should drop out or you can consider the National Open University route. You can be a lesson teacher, a labourer or a driver. Don't give up!

I already have my OND in mechanical engineering, and I'm currently in HND1 but there's no clue on how I could get enough money to pay the remaining bills before exam. Sometimes I still thank God for bringing this corona virus at the right time, if not for the virus exam would have began and I would officially have been a dropout again. Either way I'm always looking forward to what life throws at me. And I'm already planning of the way forward if I eventually dropout. But all I know is that either now or later I will surely complete my education

Femsyn:
This is a very typical story of many Nigerian homes. Later in the man's old age, when children and wife ignore and treat him like trash, one stranger, in the name of a fiance, who has no idea of their history, will become judgemental and share blames.

Another uncle will encourage other women to endure abuse, just because his own mother barely survived a marriage with an egotistical and insensitive man.

In cases like this, I wonder if women deny their own families, as soon as they get married.

OP, where are your uncles, aunties and grandparents?

uncles from my dad's don't Care I.e even if they are okay themselves. Father's mother is in the village sufferin. The only family who is a little bit okay, promise me and abandoned. My mom's family are always ready to help her out, but she won't ask for help, in fact they don't even know what she passing through

TheGreatIYANU:
Just focus on getting your mum into full recovery. Do whatever you must, as far as it is legal and godly.

Dont be ashamed to hustle right now... carry block if you must.

Once she is better you and all your siblings should really round and take her (forcefully if needed) to her peoples place pending when one of you can get a place.

Dont completely abandon your father, cater for him to the best of your ability but ensure your mother is fine.

That should be your sole singular focus right now.

thanks very much. I'm doing everything in my power and waiting patiently for this lockdown of a thing to be over. My days in school are numbered that I surely know off all I'm just thinking about is getting a petty job which I could engage in after I withdraw. As for my dad, I will follow your advice
