That's why you need to test your partner. Test them to the limit.

Yes, i think this is an important aspect of relationship that people don't make use of.

Evaress:
Women are designed to be pampered. There is no woman even the rich and independent ones that wouldn't want a man to spend on her. Spending on someone you love shouldn't be a problem to you. Most of you guys feel because you spend on her that makes her your puppet. Your parents should raise you well to understand women.

You just won collect love, but you don't want to give love back in return. Life is not designed that way. At the end it won't pay you. You think you are smart

BlindAngel:
My family isn't like that, they won't hate her, they've always loved her right from the start. Even when she have only visited my mom just twice, and on both visits I accompanied her, she have never visited my mom alone. She saw and visited my mom just twice before we got married, yet my mom didn't in any way refused or objected for me getting married to her. It took my this long to notify my family about the money because my mom have been battling leg pains for years, in which the drugs needed for her treatment was calculated by the doctor we took her to, it was calculated 266k, it's been 9 months and counting and I haven't been able to buy the drugs for her, she's still in great pains and can no longer walk properly. I was disappointed that I gave my wife 5m and couldn't pay for my mom drugs for her to be fine again. Thinking about everything right now, i feel so useless.

Are you okay at all, because what you are saying here does not look like someone that is mentally healthy.

You should have advised Atiku to do the right thing from the word go

Even if he(Atiku) contests this election, he can't win. He has lost many opportunities in the past that he would have won him the election

Inspirer1:
I can only believe this if we don't get to hear anything again after this allegation.

In most cases Bishop Oyedepo doesn't reply useless talks like that, he doesn't have that time to be engaging in foolish and unfounded allegations. He has enough sons of the prophets he has groomed to reply on his behalf. He is far, far above those unnecessary discussions.

Teymanhenry:
This Pastor just want to drag them. If he doesn't have evidence he should shut up. If I'm Oyedepo I'll sue him

Bishop Oyedepo doesn't accept any gift from any government. He is a very careful and wise man, not even from Jonathan he was a little close to, he says that with all confidence. He won't accept anything from anyone of them, so that if he wants to talk to anyone of them, he can talk freely.

Mrexcell:
It's very possible remember a fashion designer also got oil well license during obj tenure.

This is not true. It was not during Baba OBJ tenure. It was during military government but not even when Baba OBJ was military head of state

EmperorIsaac:
He is a liar....I can say that authoritaively regarding Kumuyi!

I can also say that authoritatively about Bishop David Oyedepo. I know him very well, he will never accept anything from anyone that will tarnish his image

baike:
How much be the price ? If Na around 80k I buy am

Where you won get phone for 80k.

richmond500:
how many of the best performers in our world today went to covenant?
They are not in the list of top ten best doctors, top 10 engineers, accountants etc.

Each of University of Ibadan, Unilag and uniport still produce graduates that shape our society far more than covenant does

University of Ibadan was established in 1948. And you are comparing to Covenant University that was established in October 2002, 54yrs after. You people should try to be objective.

Saturnalia:
I have a security measure that I employed over all my Bank Accounts.

I do not save people’s bank account details to my Beneficiary List.

I only have my other Bank Accounts and my Family Members on my Beneficiary List, so it is near impossible for me to send any money to a stranger in error.

And I do not have OPAY for security reasons.

You are just missing out on good banking services by not using OPay. Opay is honest and no dey deduct money from account of their customers any how. If one naira is remaining in your account, OPay will pay interest on it however small the amount is.

Giftedhand47:
Your mom in-law is also your mom

Now ask yourself genuinely this question

Is it good for my mom to ask money from me everytime

If you can genuinely answer this question

Then you're good to go

Yes, a man's mother has the right to ask for money from his son, however, it should be reasonable. If a mother spends unreasonably on things unnecessary, should the son condone such a behavior without restraint? Because she is his mother

Uu

helinues:
Okay , those are his top offense right?

My own curiosity is, When Buhari won in 2015 and continue paying the fuel subsidy removal which their party campaigned against GEJ, what precisely did the then opposition Pdp do?

You can only reduce insecurity, you can't stop it. Infact, I can present you with some threads which I created questioning president Tinubu about the way he has been handling the insecurity in Nigeria though there have been been some light improvement for some months now

In most of the top sectors we have in Nigeria, apart from Power and Security sector that are lagging behind, other sectors are doing fine.

Mention other sectors that are doing fine. Although we know that Nigeria's problems have been long, they didn't start today, it is a cumulation of bad management of our resources over the past years

Oracleee:
I doubt you read the article to understand the point being made. It is obvious you read it just to comment and attack.

At my age, I remember when Nissan was a big name in Nigeria's automobile market. From the Nissan Pathfinder, one of the most popular SUVs back then, to the Datsun, Almera, Micra, Maxima, Primera, and Sunny, Nissan was a household name. The Micra, for instance, is still widely used in Ibadan to this day. And the Datsun was everywhere back then.

And should we even talk about the Nissan Bluebird? That car was so popular that it was once my dream car growing up.
Nissan was undoubtedly one of the most successful automobile brands in Nigeria at the time and I believe was competing with Toyota at some point. I doubt anyone above 30 won't know Bluebird, Datsun or even that old Pathfinder that looks like a box.

So, when the OP says Nissan was once a major force in the Nigerian automobile market, he is stating a fact, not making an exaggerated claim.
The question is, what happened to Nissan?
In my opinion, one of the major turning points was the introduction of the Nissan Murano into the Nigerian market. The Murano had everything going for it, but its transmission problems became a serious concern among owners. I remember an uncle who bought one and eventually sold it to his mechanic. Many other owners reportedly faced similar experiences, and that damaged consumer confidence in the brand.


Then came the Nissan Altima, particularly the newer models, which also developed a reputation for electrical problems.
These experiences contributed to the erosion of public confidence in Nissan. buyers begin to associate a brand with expensive repairs, they naturally gravitate towards alternatives they consider more dependable even as at then, I believe Nissan was rated ahead of Toyota and Honda. I will use chatgpt to verify the claim.


Nissan's Murano's transmission issues contributed significantly to the brand's loss of appeal.
That is the context of the OP's argument, and that is what you should address rather than dismissing his point that Nissan was never an household name. But then, perhaps you became aware of cars of recent hence your misyarns will be understood.

You are absolutely right. Datsun 120y was very very popular in the 80s mostly used as taxi. Durable and cheap to maintain that time

LagosOrigin:
Dangote is a private owned company which I'm also an investor, it shouldn't be on the list because it's not federal government owned refinery.

Is it govt's own corporation that determines the growth of a country's economy? How well the private sector is doing is what determines the growth of a country's economy

wirinet:
You said 50 - 50. I had a major tooth operation last month. I have a broken tooth that stuck to my jaw removed by operation. I suffered the kind of pain I never suffered in my life before for over a week. I never prayed. Today I am on. It boils down to the competence of the dentist.

That is it. You have said it by yourself. You suffered pain you never suffered before for a whole week.You don't need to go through a whole week of pain. That is the absence of God in your life. That is a warning for you. If you still refuse to recognize God in your life, that pain you suffered for a whole week is small, you will suffer much greater pain in future, if you still refuse to recognize the necessity of God in human affairs.

BioData45:
If ultimate doctor is God, send him to heaven for the surgery then. Brainwashed fellow

You are very ignorant of spiritual realities. It is God that guides a surgeon in to a successful surgery

tfelicityk:
Come to think about it...

PO never congratulate PBAT on his winning of the 2023 presidential election...

I hope he will congratulate PBAT this time comes 2027 presidential election?

Politics are matter of games and number...

When he said he won the election, but he has no proof or evidence of his victory, is that an intelligent talk

Stephen0mozzy:
There are many businesses that are profitable Oga. It's either you're too proud to start one or you're too broke to afford the startup capital.

Example of the ones you're too proud to start

1. Waste disposal
2. Laundry
3. Buy and sell from village market


Examples of the ones you're too broke to start
1. Shipping and forwarding
2. Import from China
3. Oil and Gas logistics
4. Private School

Tell us the one you are doing that is profitable, we don't want theory here, we want practical.

Wotowotoman:
Ogbeni, the man wey get the money made his decision to marry the girl. How e take concern you if she wan carry everything wey he labor for? You better go and hustle for your own money so that you go marry your mate wey go carry wetin you labor for.

What Okoya does with his money and life is none of your business. His money, his choices!!!

Most likely marrying Shade contribute immensely to the man living confortably to 87yrs, when you have a caring wife taking good care of you, it can extend a man's life by many years, especially when you have money in addition to use.

glolomoh:
May we be successful in life. A cousin whom his father purposely willed some properties and cash rejected them, citing he had more than what was willed for him. He then proceed to share them for the extended family members.

He did that because he is a good person oo, some other person will collect it and add it to what he has even though he has more than enough.

Saturnalia:
We were not born yesterday, and we know how Polygamy works in Nigeria. Every sane person with an objective and unbiased mind can easily see through all these drama.

Shade Okoya is the person tormenting, frustrating & causing unnecessary commotion in this household just to protect and secure the future of her children.

Okay, the family issued a statement through Nathaniel Omeninwan, a senior public relations manager of Eleganza Industries Ltd, and you (Shade Okoya) run the Eleganza Industries. What does it take an intelligent person to put 2 + 2 together and figure out that this statement was written and directed by Shade Okoya?

What does it even matter if Fatai is the 1st or 3rd child? The guy wants to reconcile with his Father, and you’re churning out stupid and flimsy statements.

You are the CEO of Eleganza Industries, you hold the key to this family in your hand, and the Patriarch of this household is susceptible to all your demands.The future & position of your own children have been secured & cemented forever.

Allow Fatai to reconcile with his Father. Do not allow greed, jealousy, intolerance, hatred & witchcraft destroy the future you have built & secured for your own children.

Live and Let Live!

If Baba Okoya wants to reconcile with his son Shade has no power whatsoever to block him

HacheNoire:
First or third, what is the difference between both?

That a man who claims to be a renowned Muslim cannot forgive his own son! What could he have done to warrant such?

Did he put one of his wives in doggy position or attempted to kill him with verified evidence?

The little ills of polygamy, and from experience, I can tell you dude was one of the eyes of his father before he was displaced.

When the war starts in polygamous homes, the most loved are nailed to Calvary first.

You are giving judgement in a case you no nothing about the details, that is not fair enough.

Thewrath:
Then fight for your own oduduwa republic and enjoy it,why is it so hard for you?

Igbos are everywhere in the north,china,uk,everywhere in the world but it’s the tiny Lagos developed by oil Igbos oil money you make noise about,why don’t you make noise with oyo,Osun etc. bunch of emotionally insecured people that can’t compete on a leveled playing ground.

I don't see any Igbo man ruling Nigeria again, because an average Igbo man's hatred and bitterness towards other tribes in Nigeria is so much.

boxypane:
These politicians are very bold now, especially these lawless ones currently in power. It's high time the masses strike fear into them.

I don't see this present generation doing anything. But one day a generation will arise that will not take all these nonsense and rubbish

Wolexyoshi:
More States will be added before next week. Besides, them no born Sanwo Eko well make Lagos no dey among the list.

But it is very surprising, i think Lagos should have been the first state to give approval

suckprick:
Never lend someone money that you can't afford to loose. ❌️❌️

Don't lend money at all koz there's no such thing as spare money or money you can afford to loose. Even 1 naira na money. Don't lend, just give.

My guy: Afar I fit see 100k from you.

Me: I no get o but send aza make I run you 10k.

Friendship preserved, peace of mind intact.

If someone asked you to lend him money. You just give him what you can afford to give as a gift, and you tell him you are giving him as a gift, no need for him to pay back, simple. That is what i usually do, and if i don't have money i can let go at that moment, i will tell you, i'm not buoyant at the moment, no shame there. But if i have something i can let go, i will give. I will never tell you a lie that i don't have anything at the moment

T0BY:
For one's peace of mind, lend money that you can afford to loose because to get the money back, it may be thug of war or you may not get it again.

Some Nigerians are looking for who to exploit or outsmart for their selfish gain.

I don't lend money I cannot let go. Once i lend you, i write it off immediately. If you don't bring it, i will never ask you, and that does not spoil our friendship, the only thing is that, you can't get another money from me again. And i will still relate with you normally, as if nothing has happened

UzorIyke:
He didn't know, you have to explain to him, you that know, not to be insulting him.
Or give your 4 Yrs old to explain to him, simple.
Other people will still gain from your explanation.
Nevertheless, if what he asked is true, then it's a good question based on the subject matter.

In fact it is a wise question to ask

rossipki:
OBASANJO SHOULD SHUT UP.

HE IS A MISCHIEF-MAKER.

A NARCISSIST.

Don't tell me to "respect" a leader who can't account for $16 Billion of Nigerian money.

OK?

What he should be doing is explaining to Nigerians to be PATIENT for these REFORMS TO BEAR FRUIT.

You don't get to be 3rd fastest growing major economy on Earth after India and China and remain "poverty capital" in perpetuity.

IMPOSSIBLE.

IMPOSSICANT.

IT IS CLEAR THAT ALL THE COUNTRY NEEDS IS TIME. AND POLICY CONSISTENCY.

AND WE FLY.

And if you think OBASANJO doesn't know this, you don't know that man.

God will forgive you. You are blaming Baba OBJ for the crime he did not commit. He left the govt 2007, and the economy was bouncing very well by the time he left. The people that took over after Yaradua were the ones that wrecked the economy back to the ground. Baba OBJ actually tried by bringing back the economy from collapse to a lift, he handed over to an honest, sincere and very prudent Yaradua but misfortune struck and Yaradua couldn't continue Baba OBJ's good achievements. The people that took over after Yaradua were the spoilers of the Nigerian economy. Take it or leave it Baba OBJ still remains the best former president of Nigeria

Yes the uncle did very well. But he shouldn't have given him the whole money to him at once. He should have given him the amount he needed immediately, but let him know that the whole amount is for him, he will only allow him to keep withdrawing as need arises in order to prevent him from wasting the whole money on unnecessary things

MemoriesAndMe:
What they gave him was just money that can be repayed, not their lives and happiness. They want him to pay back with his life and happiness, which doesn't tally.

If they could afford to support him with N6m each, at least he has refunded one of them, let her go to the UK with it and see how it works there like N6m is worth anything in the UK.

Imagine, family members getting upset for bringing your spouse to start your own family. Does that even make any sense? They should be planning their own lives around their own spouses, not around their brother's life.

So if his sisters didn't support him, will he have girlfriend to bring? His sisters showed him kindness, but he doesn't want to show kindness to others, he will regret his action
