OP, while I don't support anyone being maltreated, you can't rule out everything your woman said because believe me you, I know a family like that back in the uni.

The man used to maltreat his wife and kids when he had some change, when things changed, the woman didn't forgive him, ergo did things to show him she was bitter at him, blah blah blah.

It's not news that some men are worse than the mythical devil when they have money, so you need to be sure before taking any decision, it's hard to know that your father maltreated your mum and still be nice to him.

Holding brief for the obviously evil mother and daughter. Have'nt you seen how their well justified revenge is helping the daughter's life? That seemingly useless man is carrying the daughter's blessing somewhere in his loins. If he dies maltreated and perhaps cursing the daughter, her own case is sealed. Honor thy father and thy mother includes bad ones.

Godmother:
OP,

You've been to that house just once and even though you saw a lot, most times things are not always as they seem. I won't support your fiancee and her mom's attitude but at the same time I wouldn't advice you to take hasty decisions. Take out time to investigate the situation some more. Spend more time with the family and subtly dig for information before drawing your conclusions.

Investigation you said, when the script you want to unravel has been played out for him on a platter. The rule of the thumb is to observe your would be parents in law. If you like their way, just proceed to marry their daughter because that's how you will inadvertently end up years later. It is always safer to marry a bad girl raised by a responsible mother than a good girl raised by a bad mother. You will always need a god fearing mother in law at the early stage of the marriage to assist in stabilizing the home.

Wrong analysis! Yorubas do not have relationship with Ibos, we have a relationship with Nigeria, and is not contractual.

Yoruba history did not start with 1960 independence of Nigeria or 1914 amalgamation of North and South or 1906 amalgamation of South or 1845 colonization of Lagos....our history predated these political date markers.

In Yoruba history, who were the constituted allies and sister nations that we co-habited, co-located and co-exchanged with? There are many, and they still exist. Ibo is not one of them. If it was not for Nigeria you will remain an unknown people to us. So it is by virtue of the sovereingty of Nigeria that we cohabit and accomodate you and no contract is binding on us to honor your presence, not even the constitution.

Political wisdom and the Yoruba philosophy is your benevolence. This is the truth!

Gross conceit on display. Anyway suit yourself.

Mr man, the imam only ordered her to be chased away not the other way

Ordering her to be chased away requires same effort as ordering her killed. The Imam obviously has some extremist religious thugs that carry out his illegal orders. Does any Nigerian have that right? Even though the Imam did not explicitly order her killing, how did he hope to control the extent to which some of the Almajiris he has brainwashed would go in carrying out his sacred orders.

@Mayoroflagos
The relationship between Ibo and Yoruba is akin to that between seemingly antagonistic couple that welcome new baby every other year. Fondness often manifest in form of antagonism. After all, why will I bother about insulting or abusing you if I have not taken a notice of you.

AtlanticBreeze:
Complete rubbish.. The same substandard narrow roads that the obiano govt is now spending money to patch everywhere? Peter obi turned Anambra into a big village. The few roads he did were substandard and will need a complete overhaul in the next 3 years. Have you compared the quality of Ngige roads with peter obi roads? Lets not even talk about the fact that he didn't construct any dual carriageway in a big state like Anambra for 8 years.
About schools, there is no big deal about handing schools over to missionary, what I found irritating was peter obi claiming credit for the performance of Anambra students (including public and private) in examinations.. That's very petty. What did he do about the state university? do you realize the ANSU students were on strike for the better part of his tenure?
Peter obi is just propaganda, the more you look the less you see.. Unlike for obiano that already has capital projects to his name in less than 2 years and is paying salaries despite the bad economy. Remember, peter obi was governor during the oil boom with nothing to show.. Obiano is far ahead of obi in governance

If you are from Anambra, ask your daddy what Anambra was like before Obi came in. Now go back to your studies.

AtlanticBreeze:
your post is right except where you said peter obi did a wonderful job.. What wonderful job did peter obi do in Anambra? Be specific.. Some ignorant folks have been buying this propaganda. The same peter obi that left Anambra as one the poorest states in Nigeria?

Peter Obi rehabilitated over 90% of the existing roads and built hundreds of new ones. All communities in Anambra have multiple interlinking roads. Journey from any community in Anambra to Awka the capital is an average of 15 mins. He therefore succeeded in opening up access the capital thereby reducing rural-urban migration within the state.
He also rehabilitated all the state primary and post primary schools complete with teachers quarters and deployed state of the art ICT equipments to all schools and bought brand new busses for them. He then handed back the ones owned by the churches back to them for their total control but the state government pays their salaries.
This complete overhaul of government schools was what birthed excellence being manifested by public secondary schools since the part 5 years in public exams and interstate school competitions.
These are the two areas he performed excellently. All Anambra people that visit home will attest to this.

Willie is trying. But what is helping him to shine much more is the power of the social media. He sells his achievements better than Obi.

The lagos state government pays it's workers on the 23rd of every month without owing any one while u shamelessly brag about anambra's 27th day of the month payment. The monthly IGR of lagos dwarfs the entire IGR of the 5 South eastern states combined. The work rate of Ambode at developing lagos makes every igbo youth wanna migrate to lagos to sell gala in traffic. Now that street hawking has been banned, the igbos are the ones lamenting the most. Obiano might be a demi god to your village, but when it comes to comparisons with lagos, he is not better than a local government chairman. I am an indigene of lagos and I'm proudly yoruba

Lagos, lagos, lagos! Every Yoruba man is from lagos state. Lagos is also the only state in southwest. Some children set.

mrkayusfit:
Look at the type of junkies the igbos appoints as leaders. Instead of formulating policies to improve his state, he his busy gallivanting to Lagos for an irrelevant church service. Are there no churches in the south east? What economic benefit is this senseless visit to his state? The east is the least developed region in Nigeria excluding imo state led by rochas because other governors fail to put on their thinking cap. Ebonyi state governor the other day was distributing foreign made SUV's, instead of going for a cheaper option in innoson while most people in his state cant afford 3 square meal. This is how the eastern leaders waste their tax payers money on irrelevancies and instead of their youths to hold them accountable, they will instead blame Buhari for their woes and start screaming biafra as if angels will be their leaders in their imaginary biafra. Shame on IPOB yoots

Least developed? As in less developed than Ekiti et all? The only place that is marginally more developed than the East is Lagos which of course is a nomansland developed by Easterners.
BTW, try and travel around to broaden your views. A lot is happening beyond your present horizon.

MizMyColi:
Are you a cheat as well?

I mean, do you do other women's men/husbands?

My reason for asking is that you are mostly what you attract to yourself.

Now, don't get me wrong, I understand that no matter how good a person is, there will always be bad eggs in their lives.
But for these bad eggs to be people from whom you share same meal, bed and body?
This is serious!

If you truly know that you have done absolutely nothing to deserve the kind of people who are in your life, please cut all ties.

I know it hurts. It's okay to grieve.
But while at it, please remember that where there is life, hope abounds.
Grieve, be sad, feel as you want to.
But try to be happy again. Truly happy.
You
If I were you, I will not allow that man touch me without going for HIV testing.

It's understandable if he shags just one of your close friends, but TWO simultaneously?

His case is Spiritual.

Miz, you nailed it. The wife herself seems to have belonged to a clique of loose sluts without morals . This explains why not just one but two of her own friends started sleeping with her husband just three months or less into the marriage. Of all the tons of ladies the young husband meets daily, it is only her wife's friends that he is cheating the wife with.Who knows how many more of her philandering friends are yet to be caught. What goes around indeed comes around. The madam's shipments are beginning to berth.

willie slacking. what kinda dangerous narrow road is this now ? and where is the pedestrian walkway ? willie needs to be flogged with 24 strokes of cane

Pedestrian walkways are provided on streets not on highways. Pedestrians don't trek on highways.

Efriday1:
The bolden statements are grossly incorrect and completely misleading. Beware never make comments about something of which you are not well enlightened on. For example medical programme is 6yrs to become a doctor, 1yr housejob, 1yr youth service, 4-6 years training as a resident makes you a consultant. A consultant is a doctor at the Peak in his chosen discipline just like a PhD holder, but unlike the PhD I think you can only be a consultant in 1 field of medicine only.
Residency implies training to become a consultant similar to post graduate programmes, but unlike the postgraduate training a resident is paid by the government throughout the period of training which is NORMALLY 4-6 years. A junior resident is a doctor who IMMEDIATELY after nysc is contracted to train with a certain hospital, commonly a federal hospital, as a pg student. U can liken him to a masters student if you want, but mind you he is paid. There is senior residency level of course which I'll like you to liken to a PhD student for clarity sake. There are several exams in this process, but I'll not bore you with them.
Now to the point of frustration. I'll just ask you Mr zealous, is there a worker that is never promoted, especially when he has a certificate as precious as the mbbs? Once you are employed with a certificate you get promoted until you reach the highest level available to your certificate and mbbs can take you very far in the civil service for instance, tho you can never become a consultant unless you train. You talking about pharmacists earning big outside hospitals, what about doctors don't they earn big outside the hospital too? As a doctor you are a first class citizen and that ticket alone can take you very far in politics, or business..

Okay, let the crossfire works begin. Docs vs Pharms

The Bible condemns homosexuality(1 Roman's 1:26,27) The Bible also condemns homophobia. (Matthew 7:12)

The Catholic Church is watering down God's view about homosexuality in order to conform to the world(Romans 12:2)

The Bible is clear that "fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts will not inherit the kingdom of God "(1 Corinthians 6:9-11) Yes we should not be misled, even by the Pope.

If christians do not ridicule the thieves, fornicators, looters etc that fill up the churches every Sunday but instead reminds them of God's love and encourage them to repent, then homosexuals deserve no different. It is the same hell all of them will go if they do not repent. That is the Pope's stand point and it correct.

DEAFandDUMB:
You didn't actually get the question right. He asked, where did APC get their campaign fund from?.. The source of the fund is what he really wants to know.. PDP got large junk of the money from the arms procurement fund and every patriotic Nigerian is happy today that they are being prosecuted for it..
Now, I ask again, how did APC fund their 2015 presidential campaign?. A friend of mine who happens to be one of the party state delegates then was given a token of 1000 USD just for voting for somebody at the party's primary election in Abuja.... Calculate that amount with the total number of all the delegates that voted from the 36 states of the federation and you will see corruption hiding somewhere starring at you.. Lol
Looking forward to your sincere reply..
Thanks.

If you are sure the fight against corruption is selective as claimed, then wait for PDP to come back to power so they can probe APC. It was their fault that they did'nt consider stealing as corruption in their own time.

Oga stop this tribalism nonsence and reason for once. Do you think what they are asking is reasonable ?. We really deserve the kind of country we have. Corruption must die!

I didn't just insult you by the way, you said men will always be superior to women so I am showing you pictures of different men that are superior to you.

You forgot to also upload pictures of ladies like those caught in shoplifting and stripped nacked or those caught in drug/child/women trafikking and those running baby factories to butress your points.
Mcheeeeeew, weak argument!

He was recently forced to swallow the algae and fungi of some dirty flasks that he hasn't been washing properly. She also gave him water to drink just to make sure to goes down well into his system. I got home back from from work to find him turning and crying in pains. It was a terrible sight

Op, you are an accomplice in this. Enough of this blood cuddling report. Imagine this innocent boy to be your son or nephew. Just act before this boy dies. Are they living in PHC? Can I help?

Was this governor absent in the meeting where Northern governors absolved the Fulanis of any guilt and cautioned those calling them murderers to desist? After foolishly signing away his right to protest in that communique, here he is wailing. The Hausa/Fulani spell on these Middlebeltans strong die.

You are simply a sexist.

Resign if you cnt stand a lady being your boss.

Remember one of the 48 laws of power.

"Never outshine your master"

She will deal with you and mess you up. She has every ground to get you kicked out

You were employed as a marketer and have not made any sales yet you want to go Head to head with your boss.

You should lick more than her ass since there is nothing special about u as an employee.

Even as a top performer, u shld learn to carry ur boss along and make her comfortable.

My career span over a decade and Female Bosses are the most caring and most reasonable if you read 48 laws of power early enough.

You dnt have to tell her she is good looking.

I once chatted a female boss telling her to calm down that I can feel the pressure from the top and I am working with my guys (team) to ensure things get better soon. I told her to promise me that the weekend will be 4 her family while trusting us to get things done.
(Note: I was not feeling any pressure. I was just inspired to encourage her)


She replied my chat that she was moved to tears and I just lifted a burden.She said she had d best weekend in a while when we met on Monday.


2-1 or first class is not enough, you have to be emotionally intelligent to get to the top.

Bros you nailed it precisely. You must understand the emotions of women to survive as a reportee. Humility and loyalty are key to having her hand over the whole department to you. From experience

Spiff20:
okay so there's no flooding in enugu when it rains and people can actually sleep with their doors open? Umm pls go through those benchmarks i made for the comparison, cos i think you mistook ph for calabar which in my opinion calabar is more serene, safe, has less trafic, little/no flooding, clean environment, lots of greenery(off my hat for them) and well planned streets too lined with boulevards.

Oga have you lived in Enugu before? You are more or less forcing what you think about Enugu on us. Present facts to back up your position. Some people like arguments like Nkwobi.

Compliment is both noun and verb. Eg.

Noun:
Thanks for the compliment.
Verb:
She complimented her manager for exceeding their sales budget.

Well there is no gain saying the fact that a lot of Nigerians have had their own often bitter experiences with the whole network marketing saga.

But World's richest billionaire, Bill Gates said "if i would be given a chance to start all over again, i would choose NETWORK MARKETING" meaning even if you take all his billions today, with network marketing he will bounce back to be world's richest man again. How inspiring!!! If you must know, network marketing is the reason why Bill sleeps and wakes up everyday $4 million richer, doing nothing.

That is to tell you that regardless your opinions, network marketing is the koko when it comes to financial freedom. Now, I respect your skepticism though about this particular business concept, and why most Nigerians don't want to have anything to do with anything that appears to be like a networking stuff, or like they put it "MLM" (even if the scheme is only wearing the monkey jacket of networking,most Nigerians immediately take to their heels) taking cognizance of your respective experiences, but i will like to ask you this question - does the fact that cars are prone to having accidents stop you from buying one if you have the money? Like in debates that year, 'i leave that question for my opponents to answer' lol.

Friends the truth is, if you really want to experience a difference in something, you just have to try out something new because like the popular adage goes "you can't expect to have a different result when you keep doing the same thing" or however it is put..lol.

But what I'm trying to buttress here is that in a network marketing system, you work with people and like Pam Moore said "you can never go wrong by investing in communities and the human beings within them". In every network of people, your success is assured by the joint effort of everybody which is so much better because personally i would love to earn 1% of everybody's effort than 100% of my own effort. I don't know about you but that's what i would prefer and i think you should. Networking and investment always go pari pasu, meaning haven created a network, there has to be an investment into that network, which is but a token to what you stand to gain back in a matter of time.

Network marketing really is what we all need to get to that status where every person in the system is financially independent as a result of the joint efforts of team members.

Now let's look at the statistics, 75% of America's economy is composed of small and medium scale enterprises which are a small network of people serving as a feeder matrix for the bigger dogs. Lemme not get too technical here, but basically that is why till tomorrow America's economy will remain strong because the cash flow in her system circulates within people, unlike here in our beloved country where some persons are ontop of the bullion van while others are.... Well you know the rest...lol.

Now upon my critical observations over time, you will realise that the most parts of the complains about network marketing comes from networks which often time are engaged in the buying and selling of products. Although am not condemning here, but the reality is that when members cannot meet a particular sale volume for the month, you see that they are not given their due reward or worse still are made to retrogress haven attained some level before. And that's the part that's really not cool. And exactly why the complains come.

Another thing is that most Nigerians fail to critically consider and re-consider the sustainability plan of these different networks springing up on a daily. Once the offer seems enticing to them,they just jump on it, without checking to see if the firm has the potential to be sustained over time. Now when the network crashes tomorrow, you see members who fell victims come out to generalize that anything called network marketing is a scam, trying to even poison the minds of those who are interested in trying out a network for themselves, when they have not done their basic fundamental ground work and analysis. I consider such claims totally outrageous. So for me, sustainability is one major thing i look out for before joining any network regardless her enticing offer. And you should too.

Networking in itself isn't such a bad thing to try one out today. All you have to do is ensure you first carry out the basic check of certain criteria. And i can stand to tell you that authoritatively that although there still exist the bad eggs, but not all networks are the same.

I studied chemical engineering uniben, done with nysc (served in rivers state) nd was cds president of my cds group. Still in port Harcourt, I joined a network that has really been a blessing to me and today, some of my cds members and ex president colleagues as well joined in and are making their money for themselves, totally forgotten their days of skepticism. Here, there is no buying and selling of any products whatsoever (because i particularly hated the thought of moving up and down the street trying to market any products) and there is no monthly sale volume you have to meet up with. Also, here, overtaking is very much allowed unlike some networks where you never grow past the person that introduced you, because of their pyramid set up. I personally overtook my upline so i know exactly what I'm talking about. And here, we are a TEAM. As at when i told the principal of the school i served with about the network, she immediately joined and also registered 6 members of her family same day and aside her salary,she's making her cool money too. She even told me of her first alert that she got and i could see the excitement all over her face.

Now I'm not saying all these to try to convince anyone to come join.No. i believe that our lives is a product of the choices we make and that the choices we make today goes a long to shapen our future tomorrow. All networks are not the same, u just have to be in the right one. That's my take. The only difference between a rich and a poor man in our society today is opportunity. Make wise use of the ones that come your way today so you can have a shelter for your future tomorrow. Remember if you don't make up your mind to be at the top, nobody will take you there. and Joining a network today can make the whole process to the top faster for you.

I still get paid. You think its too good to be true, i still get paid,. You join me,we both get paid. And if you don't join me, i still get paid. Because of time and space, You could reach me on 08136639283 so we talk more

I can see that it's Niger Delta/ Ijaw bashing that is currently trending in Nairaland.

Funny that Igbo people that are always at the receiving end of this senseless bashing from Nairalanders have developed short memory and have joined Nigerians to continue the bashing of Niger deltans.

Ngwanu, make una continuu( in PEJ voice). Anya Nkiri
kam no.

Rather than seeing the pure truth in what your own leader said and being concurred by all that live with or have interacted with Ijaws/Niger deltans, you are looking for the Ibos to blame. All those that spoke in support of Dickson are all Ibos? Even if they are, did they afflict your people with laziness? Abeg shift.

TonyeBarcanista:
Instead, I will say they are victims of false orientation and bad leadership

Which people are products of true orientation and good leadership? Whenever anyone decides to succeed and backs it up with humility and hardwork, he does succeed. When one keeps blaming everyone but himself for his problems, recovery remains elusive .

bright007:
Even as Nigerians back President Buhari to bring corrupt leaders to book, one question is desperately begging for answers, Why is the fight against corruption limited to members of the opposition?

why is the petition against the fly of Ubiama a.k.a Amaechi gathering dust in the office of the EFCC?

why are the fathers of corruption e.g Obasanjo, Atiku, Tinubu left to be walking freely even after glaring evidences against them?.....,oh!last time I checked, they are now members of APC: Association of present criminals

They started from somewhere.But don't worry, If time runs out on APC, let the PDP do their own witchhunt whenever they regain power, if they will not look the other way again as they are accustomed to.

The man is probably looking for sympathy. If u are truly educated, there are better job with dignity that u can do which is more honourable than this. We should not introduce packaging to everything. To me this is disgusting and an embarrassment to corporate society.

Keep looking for dignity until hunger catch and overwhelm you. People stoop to conquer. By the way, you spoke like a dependant.
