Politics / Re: Only Buhari’s London Doctors Can Decide When He’ll Come Back – APC by limamintruth: 9:32pm On Jun 30, 2017
CROWNWEALTH019:
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that it is only the London doctors attending to President Muhammadu Buhari’s health will decide when the President will come back to Nigeria. The party also said that President Buhari is recovering fast from his illness contrary to allegations that he is on life support.

The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, gave the assurance in Abuja while speaking with newsmen at the end of a meeting between the party`s National Working Committee (NWC) and state governors elected on the party’s platform.


“We are glad to inform you that President Muhammadu Buhari is recovering in a very robust manner.

“We hope he takes it easy and when he comes back, I have no doubt at all that we will have a new and active period of activities.’’

He, however, said only the president’s doctors abroad could decide when he would be fit to return to the country.


Gov. Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State had recently alleged that President Buhari was on life-support in a London Hospital where he is receiving medical attention.

The national chairman, however, refused to respond to the governor’s comment, saying he would do that at an appropriate time.

“If I respond, I will be dignifying him.

“At the appropriate time, people will answer him; at the appropriate level; at the appropriate time.

“He is in a different world altogether.’’

According to him, the party’s leadership has confidence in President Buhari.

He added that the meeting x-rayed the nation, ongoing agitation for its restructuring and inciting statements emanating from different parts of the country.

Odigie-Oyegun stressed that such inciting statements are not good “for the nation`s health and have to be stopped’’.

According to him, the party maintains its earlier position on the restructuring of the country as clearly stated in its manifesto.
He further said the party’s leadership would do all it could at all times to ensure that the unity of the country was preserved.

He added that the APC leadership was ready to listen to whatever grievances any group in the country might have.

iluvpomo:

Let me try and educate you in simple sentences.
Christians follow the New Testament as the as the sole guide for faith theology. The New Testament already quotes relevant sections of the Old Testament for required theology e.g. 10 commandments etc - this is referenced in numerous verses all over the New Testament.
The rule of marriage is very clear in the New Testament, it is between one man and one woman. If you want to have multiple sèxual partners sanctioned then stick to islam, Christianity is clear about it being monogamous.
Quoting Old Scriptures alone is erroneous if the New Testament has already ruled on that particular faith/practice issue.
Is this clear to you now?
Hope you finally get it or are you trolling?

Kindly ignore these pathetic lowlife Islamists attacking you bro. I wonder why they are obsessed with whether or not the Holy Bible (of which they even do not believe in) permits polygamy.

Its obvious they are desperately searching for something to justify their prophet muhammad paedophilic & amorous lifestyle; shikenan! grin

Career / Re: Berger Paints Sacks All Staff by limamintruth: 2:47pm On Jun 19, 2017
gist212:


All staff of Berger Paints have been dismissed. Information has it that, The staffs are said to have been on strike for the past 2 weeks because of the new living wage implemented by the company.

The new wage stops gratuity payment and adds the money to staff’s monthly salary, so that upon retirement, you get no gratuity. The new policy was said to have been implemented in 2015, which was used to create an impression of Salary increment.

Reports also has it that the management didn’t consult the staff on the matter before its implementation.

The staffs got to know about the policy recently this 2017, and then proceeded with the strike.

They have now been sacked and told to reapply if they are still interested in working for the company.

Family / Re: He Wants More S*x But Nearly Killed Me For Getting Pregnant For Our 2nd Child. by limamintruth: 6:32pm On May 22, 2017
Emerald557:
My marriage is 3years as we speak with 2 kids(a boy and a girl). I took in for my daughter when my son was 1 year 3 months old. Now when I told my hubby I was pregnant, there is nothing he did not say or do to me, he said that he has people looking up to him and I am bringing extra burden on him. ((This is a man that agreed with me that we will have 3 kids God willing)) throughout my pregnancy he tormented me to the point that he wanted me dead with the pregnancy or that I miscarried the pregnancy or that I die with the pregnancy.He told people that I always disturbed him for s*x and that I planned the pregnancy. I fought to stay alive for my son. He beat me twice with the pregnancy on one occasion he blinded me in an eye from a punch from him for one week I didn't go to work, my job was astake. I kept praying and hoping I sailed through this pregnancy. On another occasion I needed to go out to my school's graduation with my son considering that i was heavy and am going with my son who is less than 2 years old, so i needed to go with the car (we both contributed money to buy(the family's car)) and we had both talked about my going with the car for my graduation the previous day, only for him to take the car keys and zoomed off to the car when I was ready with my son to go out. I tried to remind him about what we agreed on, he said and I quote "if you don't get out of there, I will jam you with the car", I was perplexed, still looking at him, he entered the car drove it and hit me with the car. Came out, slapped me and went back into the car and he said that he will kill me and marry another woman. It then dawned on me that he wants me dead. I had to start threading with caution knowing that am alone in this world, with my son and with pregnancy. I became more prayerful and I paid alot of sacrifices to stay alive. Sacrifices in the sense that I never demand for money from him as that will infuriate him to pounce on me. From the start of the pregnancy to baby items, hospital list, hospital bills after delivery till date I never asked him for money and he never used his mind to help out with money. I promised myself never to ask him for money again, I spend my money when am in need and I don't have money, I borrow. In the midst of this saga, he was always having s*x with me whenever he wants to, which mouth will I use to say no. And most of the time, he gets rough really rough during s*x so as to make me miscarry. Prior to this pregnancy I never refuse him s*x, even when I am too tired. When I am sick, he wants s*x, I tell him I can't because I am not well, he will force me. We can quarrel throughout the day and not talk to each other, but at night he must have "his" s*x. I tell him am not safe, he will tell me he will withdraw until I got pregnant for my daughter. Now I have put to bed. My son is 2yrs 4months and my daughter is 5months. I pay my bills and my kids bills and now he wants more sex. I can't do family planning for personal reasons. I plead with him to use condom, he says he won't that he does not like it. He uses withdrawal method which we both know doesn't work, and then I refuse him sometimes but still he over powers me and gets his s*x. I fear I will get pregnant again. Now he is threatening, raining fire and brimstone over s*x. That he will bring in a woman who will drive me out of the house. Please I need your candid advice on what to do. I am going crazy

And tomorrow, if these kids he has stylishly abandoned refuse to have any dealings with him when they become independent adults; the same him will start wailing that the mom has poisoned the minds of the children against him.

Madam, I really don't know what better advise to give you. Thank God you even have job to sustain yourself & cater for the kids.

Family / Re: Why Fathers Are Neglected In Old Age. ( A Must Read For Guys) by limamintruth: 6:12pm On May 22, 2017
obikirinoni:

Guys please read carefully


WHY FATHERS ARE NEGLECTED IN OLD AGE.
-ITS A MUST READ FOR ALL FATHERS! (and mothers too!)

Take ur time and read through.

1. In the lifetime of most Nigerian family settings, there are 3 Dispensations of Power.

2. The 1st is the first 25 years in the life of the family (father, mother, children) where power indisputably rest with the father.

3. The 2nd is after the kids have grown & started working when the power shifts to the mother.

4. The 3rd is when the kids move out of the family house or start their own families when the power moves to the children.

6. We'll start from the 1st Dispensation. Total dominance of the father. He is the Lion of the Tribe of his House. The boss.

7. During this dispensation, the father rules with an iron fist. He barks orders & determines what does or does not happen.

8. The father often mettes out corporal punishment to the recalcitrant children. They grow to fear him more than they love him.

10. The father is the provider for the family & everyone is aware of that fact with all attendant consequences.

11. Then the 2nd Dispensation sets in. The children have finished school and have started working. Power shifts to the mother.

12. When the children start earning their own money, for some reason, it's their mothers they decide to look after. They are closer to her.

13. While the father was in charge, he was busy with the business of providing. He didn't have much time to be a friend to the children.

14. They spent more time with their mum and invariably grew closer to her. They also see their mum as co-victims of the father's tyranny.

15. The mother takes centre stage at this point. She is the first to know what's happening with the children & she has advantage.

16. Should any of the daughters give birth, she is the one that goes for babysitting and the children spoil her with gifts.

17. At this stage, the father is wishing for some bond with the children like they have with their mother but that boat has sailed.

18. Because the mother doesn't rely much on the father for her needs at this stage, she is less likely to tolerate his lordship. Friction.

19. Then the 3rd and last dispensation. Power has shifted to the children. They are self-sufficient, live on their own & have own families.

20. More often than not, whenever there is a quarrel between father & mother, the children side the mother.Years of joint-victimhood at play

21. Children have been known to come to the house to warn their father not to 'disturb' their mother. Next thing, extended visitations.

22. Woe betide the father if his finances are precarious at this stage. You will be humble by force. The gang-up is real.

23. This causes most men to fall ill & develop different complications. By the time the forces are arrayed against you, you will think well.

24. Stroke, Hypertension, High-Blood Pressure. The man has a large family but no relationship with them in later life. Troubling thought.

25. Moral, dear men, while the power lies with us, let us wield it with posterity in mind. It won't be with us forever.

26. With the way you are treating your wife now, how will she treat you when power shifts to her?

27. What relationship do you have with your family? Loving dad or despotic, tyrannical provider?

28. Remember, the children always side with their mother. Aim to do enough to at least get a fair hearing in future moments of family strife

30. Invest wisely for the future so that you won't have to beg to be taken care of if despite your best efforts, you find yourself alone.

ADVISE TO CHILDREN:- IT IS NOT GOOD TO ABANDON YOUR FATHER WHO DENIED HIMSELF TO GET YOU PREPARED FOR LIFE & WHO SACRIFICIALLY SOWED TO MAKE YOU WHO YOU ARE. HONOUR YOUR BOTH PARENTS AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM IN THEIR OLD AGE. THAT IS HOW YOU TOO WILL SOW INTO YOUR FUTURE. DONT LET NEGLECTING YOUR FATHER (PARENTS ) BE A CURSE ON YOU INTO YOUR FUTURE.

ADVISE TO MOTHERS :- DON'T INCITE YOUR CHILDREN AGAINST THEIR FATHER.

*Parenthood is not easy despite its joys. There is no manual on how it works. May God help us

This is an insightful piece. Nice one OP.

This is the real issue right here. Women will be women but we will still say it.
Why is this never a problem in the basic North where there is always a man for every woman (whether divorcees, widows or whatever)? It is only in the 'sophisticated' South here that you have 7 slay women clamoring to be mistresses of one wealthy man when there are indeed more men than women. They perpetuate this hypergamy well into their middle age(again for the record, after being babymamas/divorced/widowed they still have options) and with the other mouth complain about being stigmatized by young men.

True. They waste time fighting to gain the attention of wealthy men who are unfortunately, few in number; While ignoring the relationship requests of responsible struggling guys (who coincidentally are in the majority) around them.
And that is where the problem lies.

Here in the North, the ladies are less concerned about the financial status of a man, compared to their Southern counterparts. The Son of a driver in my place of work got married to the daughter of a Snr. Lecturer of a foremost University in the NorthWest recently. The couple are both Students of the same Institution (while the groom doubles as a tailor). On the wedding day, the bride's dad gifted the couple a car & other things; and I was told at the time that they would be living in the mud house built by the groom with the support of his friends & family few months to the wedding. You can imagine having the daughter of a well-to-do Intellectual, agreeing to live in a mud house as wife to a struggling guy, the son of a driver. How many ladies in the South, under the same circumstances, can agree to such?
Well, it is a common practice here; & I believe that should be how things are done if we really want to address this 'no husband for the ladies' issue.

Before you all begin to wonder what I'm up to this time I would like to state clearly that Polygamy is a matter of choice and I'm not promoting polygamy
but i want us to have an unbiased and non hypocritical down to earth discussion about this deep and sensitive one man one wife concept.

Everyday we see series of prewedding pics,we see pics of a happily married lady with her husband and lovely children and we see ladies gush over their significant other not forgetting those who will threaten fire and brimstone if their hubby ever imagine the possibility of a second wife but I want these ladies to wait and think for a minute about that young widow who is faced with the challenges of being a single parent...about that innocent divorcee whose husband against all odds threw her out...about that mature unmarried single mum that keeps meeting unserious unmarried single men and about that unmarried lady who is probably in her 40s and have had series of heart break from callous single men....

Yes we know that the aforementioned set of ladies could still marry a never married single guy but except we want to fool each other we all know that in most cases if single guys have the choice to make,they would mostly go for single ladies with no child rather than a young widow with children,a young divorcee with children or a single mum.

The big question is "Who will marry this set of ladies? I know it will be easy for anyone to quickly say shebi there are widowers, male divorcees with children or even single guys who can still marry them but it is easier to say this if you are not in their shoes.

No matter how hard some people go against polygamy,i strongly believe it is the answer to the prayers of some ladies but what can I say in a world where hypocrisy is a norm? a world where a man of 70 celebrates 40years monogamous wedding anniversary with one lady while keeping other children with different mothers outside the same marriage...and a crazy world where even the young married men who sing the "i love my my wife" lyrics will gladly keep side chics... oh I guess it's OK as long as these men are married to one lady...hmmmmm!


In my opinion I believe the one man one woman concept is flawed for many reasons...and it is a good thing Islam is not against it neither is the bible asides the "advice" given in the bible to General overseers to be husband of one wife.

Conclusively I would leave this topic open for discussion but when next you see a widow with children,a lady divorcee with children or a single mum finding solace in the hands of a married man,before you start judging just wait,close your eyes for a minute and put yourself in their position and ask yourself..."should i continue to wait for single men who hardly want to marry me?, should i remain celibate and continue to burn with passion?, should i just throw caution to the wind and allow different men take advantage of my condition by having flings with me?, or should i gladly allow a married man to have me as a wife as long as he has the finance to take care of his polygamous status?

And if you are a married lady reading this...please before you start lashing out at me,wait till you find yourself in such situations.


I don't know if this makes sense but I leave it open for you all to discuss.

Trust me, it totally doesn't make sense. The usual crap from a promiscuous mind! undecided

If not for the majority of our ladies' excessive choosy attitude, there should always be a man for every woman (whether divorcees, widows or whatever).

The 2006 census clearly showed that there are more males than females in Nigeria. So better stop looking for si.lly reasons to justify infidelity by the menfolk.

In 1991, males accounted for 50.04% and females 49.96% of the population (a male/female ratio of 1.001). The distribution in 2006 has males accounting for 51.21% and females,48.79%(a male/female ratio of 1.050).

And while the gradual dwindling of our country's female population as the years go by, is a thing of great concern (partly due to the usual oppression of the female gender in Nigeria & the general preferance to birth male children by Nigerian couples), the chauvinistic OP is here justifying rubbish.

Timbuktuo:


The bible doesn't have to reference everything, but it does mention issues that God considers serious or worth mentioning. If polygamy was such a big deal/abomination, it would have been mentioned by name and placed in the book of the law. It is not a sin to be polygamous. Period. If it were, it would have been mentioned in the book of the law. If the bible could include same sex laws, incesst laws, rapper laws, it is safe to say it doesn't mention polygamy because it is a non-issue. If it were a sin, the bible would have mentioned punishing those who practised it.

The bible doesn't admonish all believers to practise monogamy, that is a figment of your imagination. Just because God gives one wife to Adam doesn't mean God wants him to have just one wife. It just means God gave Adam a wife. Period.

You can become one with anybody. Paul mentions people being with prostitutes, and becoming one flesh, doesn't he? Two become one is an infinite phenomenon not a one time thing. You can "be one" with as many people as you like.

You're the one dwelling on the issue of polygamy. Face the tin wey dey inside bible make you dey mind your business. Make other people sef mind their own business.

How am I condemning a Muslim from marrying more than one wife when his religion clearly approves of him having up to four (4) wives? cheesy

I had to respond to your post when you wrongly insinuated that polygamy is permitted in the Bible.

If polygamy is indeed permitted by God in the Holy Bible, why then did God himself abhor very important persons of the Society against it? undecided

Oh! Obviously you ain't aware of such I guess? shocked

Well, why not read thus;
1. God did forbade Kings from marrying many wives. See:-

Deuteronomy 17:14-17

"14 When you enter the land the lord your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,”
15 be sure to appoint over you a king God chooses. He must be from among your fellow Israelites. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not an Israelite.
16 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.”
17 HE MUST NOT TAKE MANY WIVES, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

* The above is God's own command against a King (the most important personality in any Kingdom) being polygamous. Take note!!! If polygamy was such a good thing, I see no reason why God would abhor the practice.


2. God also forbade Church elders/Pastors/Bishops from being polygamous. Why would God forbid such if polygamy is indeed a beautiful & pure thing? Read thus:

Ephesians 3:2

"A bishop then must be blameless, the HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;"

* Note that a Pastor is not just the preacher at the Church building; but is a person who spreads the gospel of Christ & win souls for Him, be it through evangelism, or on the pulpit, or even simply by living exemplary Christ-like life.

This means that me and you (if you are a Christian) are not exempted from such calling. Hence, we must shun polygamy as well.


Again, Apostle Paul's sermon on the issue of being joined to a prostitute (or however you chose to place it grin) is outrightly a sermon against immorality ; rather than a support for polygamy.

And for the last time, I'm not condemning anybody. God's word is clear & judgment is His to make. Let's strive to do His will always because this world is just a temporary abode. Polygamy is a sign of sheer greed, as well as the lack of self control, contentment, & patience. Simple!
