Once a guy have shown his hands like this and rejected, it will hurt him badly especially his ego, he will always wish he never attempt it than attempt and failed.

If you don't sleep with him, he will going to find someone else with which to satisfy his urges. If you sleeps with him, there will be no guarantee that the marriage will hold, you are now cheap in his sight and that sacred gift you both have been keeping for four years has been unwrapped, so it is no longer special and does not hold the reverence both of you had initially carved out for it.

So, in summary; if you bleed him you are doomed, if you don't bleed him, there is no guarantee that you will not be doomed.

Stop displaying smug ignorance on NL. Haba 55 states? As old as you are you don't know that USA has only 50 states. Na wa o!!!

By the way, you sound like a fraudster.
Technically, there are 55 states/territories that your American visa gives you access to, during your travel/visit.

The 50 states/territories you mentioned are the incorporates states in the US, they are also 5 unincorporated states viz: Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa.

If you have an American visa, traveling to Puerto Rico or Guam, is no different than traveling to Florida i.e. there are no additional requirements or paperwork.

The difference between an American state and an unincorporated territory is a political interplay and had to do more with politics and representation. e.g. Their representatives in US congress don't votes on bills on the open floors, but can vote in committees and also author US legislation, they also have electoral college votes for electing the President. It is essentially almost the same taxation without representation that that Washington D.C. Residents faces.

Puerto Rico is the largest unincorporated state in America, in the last election; they voted to be incorporated, but congress has to rectify it, before they can be incorporated. However Republicans are against it, so they will be rejected maybe until Democrats takes over congress. Washington D.C. also voted to be given the same representative rights, as the other states in the US, again Republicans in congress will not rectify that.

And, it is all political... Washington DC and these unincorporated states are heavily democrats, e.g. granting Washington DC or Puerto Rico application means, two additional democrats Senators coming to tip the balance of power in the Senate and granting both, will be a death nail on Republican control of the Senate for the foreseeable future.
FamilyRe: How Does One Cope With A Short Tempered Wife? by linearity: 6:45am On Nov 23, 2016
The big question is, how does she react when she starts acting out? Is she violence? Have you at anytime when she is acting due to what you observed or what she said feared for your life? Does she hit you or others with her fist or some other object(s) when she is acting out? Does she forget to apologize after she kool off? Does she find her behavior normal, even after she have kooled off?

If the answers to any of the above questions is a YES along with other similarly worded questions, I think you should be concern for your safety.

Find her help, but be on the guide, know where all the knives and sharp objects are in the house. Do not sleep off in the night until you are sure she is happy, etc.

Finally, I really do wish you the bests of luck, because you will need it.

The truth is, you have to explore all your options and do not leave anything off the table, including divorce. Weigh the pros and cons of every of your action, then take a decision reserving yourself to fate and destiny.

A man in his late twenties approached me to marry him. I was not attracted to him neither was he a very friendly person. I told my mom about it and she advised me to think about it carefully.

After much thought, I decided to refuse because he seemed in hurry to marry me even when he barely knew me.

My parents got so angry with me. They said I should say agree because he is God fearing, has a good job( he owns a school) and they like him. I still refused , the man told me to marry him because he likes me and my parents like him. I tried reasoning with him but he told me that in those days girls marry men their parents approve.

My parents have threatened to not support my schooling if I refuse. I have tried to love this guy but I just can't. My parents esp my mom like him too much. I am not allowed to say a bad word against him. I am in my final year at school and 19 year old.

What should I do?
When dem go act the part 2 of this cock and bull movie self?

You are 19 years old and in your final year? Or you meant final year for secondary school and your parents dey force you to marry for secondary?

Debra911:
If u are not familiar with men of God & their prophecy, u won't understand all Tb Joshua, has said. before d result of America election ,many people believed Hillary is gonna win, you need no man of God to tell you that, now Tb Joshua came to tell u if America doesn't pray, Hillary is going to win & u're crucifying the man of God. As if u people don't go to men of God for prayers ,and it get to a point where the man of God tells u,if you don't pray, u might lose the Job, then u start going for fasting &prayer, and the result came out good, thesame thing happened in America,if Americans hadnt pray,no doubt about that, Hillary is going to win.American election was a miracle and all what Tb Joshua said will happen after the election I.e vote of no confidence passed and there would be serious protest more than wat Americans are witnessing now and Hillary Clinton never believed she s going to lose,including Obama & media houses that supported her and also leaders around the world who supported her too. , The main reasons behind every prophecy is for one to be warned before it occurs, pls let's go & read our bible.
You have been clearly brainwashed. If you truly want to be objective, google his 'prophesy'. There was nothing like 'if the American people pray or not'. TB Joshua, like everyone read the news that Hillary is going to win and came out said he saw it from God, instead of stating he was stating what the news and polls are saying.

When caught with his pants down, i.e. After the election and Hillary didn't win but got the popular votes, instead of him apologizing, he doubled down and say, there is no controversy in his prophesy and that he was talking about Hillary winning the popular vote, which is not consistent with the other part of his 'prophesy' about her 'passing bills', about her getting impeached, etc.

Now, he changed it that, it is because the American people prayed? Please, stand on your own two feets, and use your brain for once, this guy is deceitful. I would have appreciated, if he had come out and said, he missinterpreted the prophesy, which is understanding.

Do not confuse God's warnings through his prophets with God's prophesies through the same. Prophesies are God ordained events that must surely come to past, you can pray and avert God's warning. 'The soul that sins shall die' is God's warning, you can avert it by repenting, 'The Lord shall come like a thief in the night' is God's prophesy, no prayer can change that. God's prophesies are him speaking, the Bible says, whatever he says come to past and that God cannot lie.

As for people rioting, people riots every day in America, it is a way to express their rights to free speech.

Though the jury is still out on why Hillary lost despite most polls predicting her to win. But, one thing that was obvious is, 11 days to the elections, FBI Director came out and announced some email investigations against Hillary and since that announcement, the polls that came each day started seeing Hillary's numbers going down. Those numbers did not stabilize or stop falling across all the polls before the Election Day. Which means, she was on a free fall but still on the positive territory, on the other hand Trump's numbers started raising.

It was not the American people's prayer that caused Trump to win. About 2million Americans voted for Hillary and about 60% were shocked that she lost.

Infant mortality rates in Africa are significantly higher than western nations so how can they be classed as more 'rugged'?

Rates of stunting are higher in Africa than in western nations.

Life expectancy is lower in Africa in western nations.

The facts are that parental habits in Nigeria are simply not good enough. Rather than listen to healthcare professionals some people prefer to listen to the fools from their village who raised malnourished, stunted babies.

Please stop relying on foolish sentiment and learn to embrace reason.
The western world have more access to healthcare, and many diseases and sickness that plague us here have been subdued in the western world.

My analysis is based purely on inherit natural-genes, immunity, gene-mutations and conditioning of an African child compare to his/her western counter-part. Given the exact same conditions, environment and access to healthcare; if the western kids swap places with the Africa kids, their mortality rate will be higher than that of the Africa kid, same goes with life expectancy.

This should be a reminder that many of the parental habits practised in Nigeria are simply wrong.

There's too much force and too much impatience when it comes to Nigerians and child rearing.
Is that the lesson or that, Africa babies are built and shaped by the invisible hands of God to be more rugged than their westerner counterpart?

And that, when you are put in a situation to interact with them, you should handle them delicately and use caution, at every turn of the way, as they are more sustainable to breaking apart.

In this case, it was milk that did the damage, in our case, it was akamu, which is even more thicker than milk and we survived it.

they made no in-road. they only stayed at the port. its the british who made in-roads bro. lagos was developed before the british came. i have a book for you to read to get the real facts
Can you list the developments in Lagos that attracted the British?

Don't get me wrong, Lagos had a way of live, an ecosystem, settlements, building, a system; just like any other city then; and Lagos' way of life might have been more 'sophisticated' compare to other cities then, because they were in closer proximity to the Portuguese when they were around.

Where I differ from you is, your assertion that wrongly stated that, it was these inland 'developments' and not the ports that attracted the British.

i believe you are the one mistaken. you are merging two eras and two peoples ( british and portuguese ) that have nothing to do with each other. after slavery was outlawed the portuguese left nigeria and the portuguese did not come to lagos to live. they didnt try to build or do anything but buy slaves. that was a different era. and the money from that trade was used by the lagos kings to develop lagos. and when slavery was outlawed the portuguese left. then a few decades after that is when colonialism by the british started and they found a favorable developed city in lagos to operate from and colluded with the kings of lagos. you need to brush up on your history bro
At least, we both agreed on one thing, i.e. the westerners aka Portuguese made an in road first into Lagos through their slave trade. These Portuguese established a footprint that the British used to establish hold on Lagos. In the 1700s before the abolishment of slavery, Bight of Benin (Benin Republic) & Lagos (Nigeria) were the major ports in Africa and the last point before onward sailing to Europe, Calabar & Bonny were established later, but they were not as big as Lagos. Lagos was kind of a confluence as other small port cities ship into it, all these were established by the Portuguese.

When the British came, they landed on the same port, it was the already made port that attracted them, the Portuguese built the port to enhance their slave trades, the Lagos Obas did not build it.

There were no developments in mainland Lagos that attracted the British, they were leaving on their ships right at the port until they were able to build quasi-permanent shelters in mainland Lagos.

If you look at all the cities in West Africa that, the British first annexed e.g. Ouidah, Porto Novo, Freetown, Victoria, Badagry, etc; they are all port cities, first established by the Portuguese and used for docking their slave ships, the British merely re-used what the Portuguese built and left behind.

very myopic. before colonialism lagos was developed with slavery money by oba kosoko and madam tinubu and oba akitoye. lagos was somewhat developed before colonialism by the white man. they came to lagos and found a very favorable environment to operate because it had been developed is why they decided to choose to stay.
You are putting the cart before the horse, The Portuguese first made contact with Lagos in 1472, through the Atlantic Ocean exploration. Oba Kosoko did not start his reign until 1845. I believe you would have noticed the similarity between the name 'Lagos, Nigeria' and 'Lagos, Portugal', another port city in Portugal. Lagos means lake in Portuguese and the Portuguese first named 'Lago de Curamo'.

Also, he did not fly slaves to America or Europe, it was the colonial masters that bought these slaves in exchange for the money he got. In 1472 when westerners first step into Lagos, it was no more developed than other port areas of Nigeria, which were further away from Europe.

I can't believe that, in the face of the overwhelming evidences, you are arguing against the fact that, Lagos was favored because of it's port city and proximity factors and the development of the region can be directly linked to the visit of the westerners.

Lagos is not the only state with proximity to the atlantic. so why Lagos out of all these states ?
Coming from Europe, Lagos was the close port of entry into Nigeria from the Atlantic.

So, it was more advantageous to be chosen by our colonial masters as their capital. And as such, was one of the first territories to be seized by the British in 1887, the British then made it their headquarters and started the development. They didn't seize it or landed there because of the wisdom or abitilies of the people living there at that time, the contrary is the truth, the Bristish saw a good closer port of entry and seized it inspite of the objections and resistance of the locals.

Most of all these is documented history.

notwithstanding the bolded, you didnt list that as a condition, you simply said igboland has the best houses and i said it does not as you have alluded to. it matters not to me whether they got massive development from FG. getting massive development from FG is a testament to the intelligence of the people in lagos and abuja. like out of all the states why were those 2 chosen ? its because those two places are full of indigenous wise men who lobbied and got the FG to make their cities the capital. so you have to give kudos where it is due. and this is why those 2 regions have the most development and the best houses
Lagos and Abuja were not chosen because they had wise men or lobbied...you need a little dose of Nigeria history.

Proximity to the Atlantic was why the Whiteman choose Lagos, their ships can sail easily to land. Most port cities in the world are more developed than their landlocked neighbors.

Abuja was chosen because of it's geographical location ie it is somewhat center of Nigeria.

Oshoko is being contradictory here. No other ethnicity stands to lose more than the SEasterners if Nigeria divides because their survival as a people is intricately linked to the rest of Nigeria than any other group. Not only do they depend on other regions for imports, the fact that they are mostly traders and migrants is actually a pointer to their vulnerability than strenght as they need a large enough market to thrive and be successful. Oshokomole must have been overly excited and high when he made that exaggerated statement.
If your assertions are true, Israel would have been no more.

Before the establishment of the Israelite State, they were scattered all over the world and made other parts of the world their home, but today they are returning back in droves and those who still choose to leave abroad are not doing bad.

The fact, that the Ibos travel far and wide and are industrious is truly an advantage and a strength. It shows their unique ability to adapt and conquer various difficult terrain.

As to your assertions, that they cannot survive in Iboland because they take route in other parts of the country and rely on them for business,that is also myopic.

Onitsha market, is one of the major markets if not the major in Africa today. Many people travel from far to this market. If the Ibo expand this concept as there are many unexploited land to develop for business within Iboland. Dubai was a established and is striving today around a single concept, which is tourism. The Ibos can likewise survive and strive around commerce and the world will travel there to seek their services.

Also, there is power in numbers, if they can concentrate all those genius industrious brain in a single geolocation and the government comes in to build ultra modern market for them, the skies is the limit.

Now, I see other parts of the country suffering a little setback, some part permanent setback, if the Ibos leave...e.g. Go through Alaba International market today or Computer village or any major market you know of in Nigeria and imagine all the Ibos there closing their shops and moving east? Will those market survive?

Also, note that the DOJ is a federal agency, and only have jurisdiction over federal crimes, if he is charged at the State level, then for completeness another set of FOI to the State(s) is in order.
