Westerhoffe:
You can't find… because you don't read your Bible properly.

Read Genesis Chapter 24.
You guys are the one misquoting the Bible ascribing to it your own opinions.

Where in that passage did God choose a wife for Isaac? God instructed Abramham to make sure his son does not marry from the unbelievers around him but rather his son must marry from among the Christians in his kindred.

The first and the last person God choose a wife was Adam and when things went wrong Adam blamed God….saying ‘It was the woman you gave me…”.

If you want a wife now, off course it is important to kneel down and pray that, God should direct and guide you, but you will be the one to ultimately make your choice based on sets of parameters and values that you have set aside.

Do not add to God’s words, do not speak when He has not spoken, there is a curse for that.

Lol bible banned but LGBTQ nonsense will be allowed LMAO. The world is gone to shit. Accept Christ folks.
You must lack comprehension, go read it again!

Utah is an ultra religious state in the USA albeit Mormon is the dominant religion but they are heavy on morals and heavily anti LGBTQ and have ban most of those.

The removing of the Bible is a parent in Utah using the GOP playbook against them. In trying to ban LGBTQ+ law makers in Utah has ban all books that depicts violence, sexual, etc, this lead to many books being removed from schools, the main target for removal were LGBTQ+ books, books they think teaches ‘woke culture’, etc

A parent sensing an opening then uses their playbook against complained in this district that, the Bible also contain violence and sex, though the district reached a different conclusion but, they still removed the Bible.

RomanceRe: You Are Single Untill You Married - Double Date by linearity:
Wordsfrombimpe:
If there is any thread I did that state men arecscum Drop it

Don't mix words

Because you definitely don't get it so comprehend properly
My Sister, an advise for you. You look very beautiful and from your write-up, it appear you have things together and may be good at the character level.

Don’t allow life events change the person you are, you may have encountered some bad guys or bad relationships. The best solution would have been a sit back and analyzed what truly went wrong. Was it from the guy or was it from you? Was it because you missed certain early red flags or because you choose the wrong guy, deliberate on these then make changes.

Double dating is not a solution, remember the goal is not to rush into marriage, many that rushed into it last month are rushing out today; the goal should be a quality relationship and choose wisely.

You can’t double date and have a quality relationship at the same time. It is not possible to be your authentic self and double date, you will be cheating both relationships from getting to know your true worth and also cheating yourself and wasting your time.

It is actually not true that men double dates, yes they have side-chicks, but they always have the main one, they do not give all the woman equal attention, equal care and equal treatment. They would still come back to their main chick any day any time and marry her.

Imagine you are one of the side chick in this hypothetical situation, you will loose out with this guy. Again, imagine you are the child chick and are double dating, this situation will not win you brownie points with the other guys you are dating.

Now switch the narratives, imagine you are the main chick and you are double dating, you have more chances of losing this guy who wants to marry you.

These are all my options, please at the end of the day, do whatever suits you best.

INEC been neutral does not mean that, they should not defend the integrity of the process by which they arrived at their results and conclusions, the two can go hand in hand.

In fact during the court process if they found out they did something wrong or overlooked something, as a neutral umpire, it is their responsibility to fess up to their mistakes.

If it's by email or Whatsapp, then it's fake. It's one of their tactics to cajole their debtors into paying. They will even create fake police documents summoning the debtor to a police station. This is to create fear in the debtor to go and pay.

Those guys show me pepper in 2020. Them call my mama for village. Them message my pastor and my younger ones sef. They declared me wanted by efcc ontop 21k. I lost my phone on a journey and couldn't get the app to pay back. I was faithful until then because I was trying to build up to a higher loan about. Chai! After I paid them, I can't touch loan apps with a 40 feet pole. They will take your peace of mind away.

But tell your neighbor to go and pay joor.
Best thing to do, is to apply from a phone that does not have any of your contacts or better populate the fake with fake contact info.

Note also that, most of them are operating illegally only few have been licensed by the Government making their act illegal and would result in their suit against you in any court thrown out, if you have the presence of mind to challenge their legality.

He didn't explain why local production won't reduce fuel price , if you're producing in Nigeria, will there still be a landing cost ?

Nigeria government is never straight forward in dealing with its citizens.

Na still corruption be this anyways.
Dangote Refinery is also an importer of PMS, I doubt if much of local production will be going on at all times 24/7.

The price being the same is cover so that imported products purporting to originate from local Dangote Refineries can still be sold to Nigerians at a profit.

Otherwise, it does not make common sense that, an imported product that first left this country as crude wouldn’t be more expensive than a locally produced one.
FamilyRe: Should I Meet Her Biological Father Before Paying Bride-Price To Her Step-father by linearity: 4:55pm On Jun 01, 2023
MetaBroadband:
Thank you all for your excellent contributions. Please note the following:

1. They said the man abandoned them, but what if it's not actually what happened, so let's not be emotional.

2. I'm not paying the bride price to the biological father, but there should be an understanding between both fathers at this point. because if the child was taken away from the man or if he had acted as a child then, both parents can come to an understanding so that my wife won't hurt any part of the tradition in the course of our marriage.

3. I know that my mother inlaw would be angry, but I still feel it's my right to know. What if something bad happens to my wife because she married in a way that violates her tradition (give Caeser things to Caesar)

4. I'm doing this for my fiancee not me, because as far as I've paid my bride price nothing can come to me, but if anything comes to my wife, it automatically affects me. So it's not just her and her mum's business.

Thank you as you put this thoughts into consideration as well.

Please excuse typos
You spoke well.

Meet her biological father, we are still in Africa and not in the western culture.

Your wife shares the DNA of this man, it is important you know him, but not in any official way.

I agreed that, your wife does not want you to see him, but remember you are the head of this home, listen to her explain your rationale to her and do what you get to do….your wife would thank you later.

The truth is that, it is only through fuel subsidy that ordinary citizens of Nigeria get to benefit from the corruption that become synonymous with Nigeria.

Subsidy is like Alibaba and the 90 thieves, where Alibaba are the marketers and the 90 thieves are Nigerians, everyone benefits.

Remove the subsidy, Alibaba would find another means of still stealing from the Government but the 90 thieves would suffer severely through increased transportation, general rise in the prices of goods, cost of living will skyrocket, inflation will be the new game, millions will fall back deep into poverty and depression, insecurity and crime will increase.

The Justices didn't "judge" the case. They only said PDP has no ground to bring up such petition, which is right.

However, PDP and LP has the grounds to bring it up at the Tribunal. There's no way out for Tinubu and INEC.
Not True though.

The Supreme Court clearly stated that, issues with domination at the primaries are internal Party issues.

It then means that, only an APC member who e.g. was aggrieved by this nomination and suffer damages can sue, e.g. Amaechi could sue because he was an APC member running for the top ticket and suffer some damages due to this double nominations.

LP & PDP even at the tribunal do not have locus standing to sue.

One good advice some have given up there is not to eat late into the night, someone said don’t eat after 6pm, depending on your lifestyle I would 8pm.

You really don’t need exercise to lose those belly fat and pot in your belly, exercise will serve to torn your skin and build more muscles.

A good and faster way is intermittent fasting, google it. With intermittent fast, you only eat within certain window e.g. only between 2pm and 8pm, at first you body will revolt and throw lots of fits and tantrums, but if you can endure the first week or two you will be golden….do it for just one month, the results would shock you.

Intermittent fasting also hell our body to reset itself, purge old cells and build new ones….with intermittent fasting it does not matter what you eat or the quantity of it during that eating window, you will lose weight tremendously.

Everyone will benefit because it will reduce dollar demand among importers who bring in refined PMS. Nobody will be using USD to buy refined PMS and its ilk anymore.

When the demand for dollars reduce, its exchange rate against the Naira will tank naturally. Afterwards, the complaints among traders in the market that their goods are costly because dollar is high will naturally die. Now, this is a win for everyone.

PS: Stop arguing if you cannot think out of the box.


Cc. correctguy101
PMS traders don’t go to the aboki on the street to exchange their dollars, it is that same CBN that give then dollars at the official rate, how would this help the common man? Or are you saying CBN or commercial bank will start selling dollars at the official rate to all Tom, Dick & Harry?

Nigeria external debt profile is the major contributor of the hike in dollar, by next year the amount to service Nigeria debt with current projections would be equal to revenue generated.

Because of our debts and unsustainable economic projects, businesses and people are afraid to store their values and wealth in Naira, because they can lose significant value overnight.

Dangote is not a fool, he is not going to be storing his values and wealth in Naira either.

Look to how Dangote have ran Dangote Cement that have impoverished Nigerians for clues on how he will run his refinery. His goal is not to do charity work in Nigeria, it is to make money.

FamilyRe: Who Should Be A Married Woman's Next Of Kin? by linearity: 4:52pm On May 19, 2023
Next of kin is not only for inheritance or economic values or redistribution, in fact it bears little value to inheritance and wealth.

Next of kin simply means, who do we notify should anything happen to you and you are not able to response? Who do we notify if you are rushed into hospital on an emergency? Who do we allow to visit you on your hospital bed by default when you are not able to make that decision yourself?

Given the above, it is only proper and wise for married couples living together to put each other as their next of kin as it would be more faster and quicker to reach and get responses from the other spouse.

However if the couples are living apart e.g. one is abroad, the other in Nigeria or the distant is such that, it is impractical for one to respond immediately in the case of an emergency then it is proper to use the next closest relative.

You will determines who inherits your property, then your spouse or the court decides that.

as i said earlier.... as much as it is a bit excessive you need to open your mind.... so mama that lives close by shouldnt come and spend the day with daughter that is home alone all day (and go to market together etc)? the same mama that will probably come and stay with you for months when you guys have your 1st children (in order to show you how to properly care for a newborn) na that mama you want to look down upon today?!
I do not know why we sometimes think that, being passive is the right thing and way to go!

The mother's right to check on them stop at their own right to privacy. You can not put it upon yourself to check me and expect me to passively agree to it, I also have rights, I have the right to say No, or they suggest when and how such visits should occur.

This is no longer the mother's family, they gave their daughter away, from the OP comments, it appears the wife i.e. the mother's own daughter is siding with the husband and the reason she did not do it herself is because it might seem callous coming from her.

Coming on omogwu is at the discretion on the husband and the wife, how long stays is also at their discretion.

I do not see it as a disrespect, in Nigeria we have the mistaken default position that, elders are always right and we should always bow to their wishes, that is not true, the mother was in the wrong here and the husband as the head of that home had to put his feet down and say enough is enough period!

what have you got to hide? why are you so afraid of parents coming to check up on their daughters? what so wrong in the act? what privacy are you even talking about? if these parents trusted you as a man and/or the wellbeing of their daughter, probably they wouldnt check on their daughter so often.
I don’t think the OP is against the mother Inlaw checking on her daughter….but haba! to be coming there everyday or every other day is beyond checking.

If I have a friend that is coming to my house to check on me everyday I would tell them to back off as well.

She should allow them to have and grow a family together, her daughter need that space to be her own independent woman. She need the environment to exhibit her own style of womanhood, motherhood and wife without looking over her shoulders expecting correction, dissatisfaction or rebuke from over protective mommy.

At some point in life parent need to give their kids space to grow, learn and become adults…Yes, there will be mistakes, those too are part of the leaning and growing experience.
