WOW . I never know there are ShopRite in US 😔. I've stayed in the Midwest for so long. I don't think there is One in any Midwestern State.

I want ask;does ShopRite in the US sell the same thing like the one in Nigeria? You know; ShopRite bread, Chicken, and all those Nigerian food . Or they're existing to only serve the American taste
ShopRite in the US are a dying bred with fierce competition from Wholefood store, stop n shop, etc. They are mostly found in the North East and are not affiliated with the ShopRite in Nigeria.

They are mainly a good and grocery store and sell similar things….see Getty image of a typical ShopRite store in the USA..

Yes, they don’t sell Nigerian food and like your words exist to serve America taste.

Why can't Nigeria sign this kind of agreement with Russia.
Because it will not be in the best interest of the Nigeria elites and Polithieficians.

They make so much money from the sale of generators and fuel subsidy, a project to generate electricity like this scale will be a nonstarter.

They off course will count of us to continue voting for them and snatching ballot boxes on their behalf because our mumu nofa do.

Honestly, I think the main reason a project like this wouldn’t be possible in Nigeria is truly not because of the Polithieficians, rather because our mumu nofa do.

Where do they pay taxes in Nigeria? Who pay taxes in Nigeria? Usually in the US, you see taxes you pay on everything you buy. Even if you buy a $1 tomato at Walmart, you'll see the tax added to your receipt.
.if you earn $CAD50k in Canada, $CAD18K will probably go to taxes. Is this how it is in Naija?

I believe that if nigerian don't get everything for free but rather spend the way they spend in abroad, Nigeria go better.

With the exception of those working federal, State, local government and some private organization, who are the ones paying taxes in Nigeria? Nigerians don't even pay for electricity. Lol
Most states and Counties in the USA, like 60% do not tax food items, especially when you buy them in superstores like Walmart, ShopRite, etc…., so your tomatoes reference is mostly incorrect relative to the USA.

But in Nigeria, walk into ShopRite and buy that same tomatoes, your taxes is backed in, walk into the market and buy that same tomatoes, the woman selling it pay daily, weekly and monthly levies, fees and assessments and they pass those on to you by backing it into the price of the tomatoes.

You still don’t get my point!

It does not matter if they dumped you or you dumped them, the fact is, those your 4+ exes have replaced you or will soon replace you with someone else i.e. the vacuum you left would not remain a vacuum forever.

The point I was trying to drive home is, no one is indispensable, no one is irreplaceable…No matter how good or beautiful you think you are, there is someone better than you and if you start wearing the badge of I am irreplaceable guess what, it will soon start to irritate your current Prince Charming and he will dump you.

I ended up with the overall best and better man. is what they always tell us before they start talking about how wicked, vile, woman beater, etc the man has been and they were just managing him.

EducationRe: 25% Requirement: Solve This Mathematics Word Problem by linearity: 9:21pm On Apr 19, 2023
ShowYourCertificate:
The answer is very simple:

Let the States be S and the Territory be t.

Thus the requirement is: A quarter of two thirds of S AND a quarter of t

You have 36 States (from at least 24 of which appliers are chosen) as well as 1 territory where to recruit its quarter from. Here, the firm recruits 25 appliers from each of the 24 States, AND 30 appliers from the territory, which is a total of 630
appliers.

The formula here is [(23×36)×(14×100)]+(14×120)=[(24×25)]+30

=630 appliers. QED

The second question doesn't change my answer. This is because even if the Territory is considered a State. The AND in the requirement has it compulsory that 25% must be recruited from that "State".
One place the the Federal Territory 25 percenters are making huge mistake is their implicit assumption that the Constitution gave votes cast in the Federal Territory greater weight compare to votes cast anywhere else.

The simple maths is, since two-third of 25% is 16.67%, converting everything to a whole number, it simply means while any vote cast by citizens with equal rights anywhere other than the Federal Territory is worth 1 in weight, that same vote cast in the Federal Territory is worth 1.5 in weight.

The Constitution did not imply such an imbalance in the weight of any votes, all Nigerians votes irrespective of where it is cast is worth 1 in weight.

casualobserver:
very crafty but disingenuous comment. All the scenarios you mentioned occurred in new democratic dispensations where there were no ranking members so all senators were equal....anyone who emerged SP was by default a new member because all members were new, no senator outranked another. In all the scenarios you listed, a 1st timer had to emerge SP because there were NO ranking members, the only occasion where there were ranking members (oct-dec83) a ranking member was re-elected (Wayas). Feel free to disprove or present a scenario where ranking members existed and a newbie emerged SP.

I have no problem with Oshiomole as SP but he is a new senator and ranking rules must be respected.
Before each election, the Senate is dissolved…the new Senate can either adopt the old rules or amend them as they see fit using the new majority vote in the Senate.

If the new Senate majority is PDP or APC, you don’t expect them to rubber stamp a rule put in place by the previous opposition who were majority at that time….that is not how democracy works.

The only thing that survives each Senate session is the Constitution, if it aren’t in the Constitution it is just a gentleman agreement be it ranking, zoning, etc…a new majority can use their newly given powers by the voters to trash all previous rules and zoning agreements unless the old club that put it in place can still muster a majority vote to sustain it!

I extract the substance of what he is saying and his reasons behind the logic and not exactly what he is saying or does.....Dr. Umar also supports polygamy and as recent as 2021 was rumored to have married two ladies at the same time.....though technically, one of them will be a concubine since the US law is against polygamy.

Do you therefore support black men and your husband now or in the future to marry multiple wives and/or keep concubines?

Moreso since, Dr. Umar's reasons for marrying two black women aligned exactly with why he is against interracial marriages which is........who will marry all the other unmarried black sisters and that there are more black sisters who will never taste marriage if black men keep marrying outside their race?
PoliticsRe: I Don't Have Dual Nationality - Peter Obi by linearity: 3:20pm On Apr 19, 2023
Based on the Nigeria constitution and settled case laws in Nigeria, anyone who is a natural born citizen of Nigeria can run for any elective position and become such including the Presidency irrespective of their later acquired citizenship of other countries.

You don’t lose your Nigeria citizenship, rights or privileges by becoming a dual citizen of another country if you are a natural born Nigeria citizen.

However, if you acquire Nigeria citizenship, you lose that citizenship and all rights and privileges once you become the citizen of another country.

Where is Dr Umar Johnson when you need him? grin
I think Dr. Umar would support this just like I do! His major reason for going against interracial marriages is because Whites hardly marry down the economy ladder when marrying blacks.

As a result there is net wealth inflow from blacks to whites during the marriage and divorce. Here this guy is marrying up the economy ladder, give it another 15-20 years, if this marriage hits the rock, the guy will cash out and will head to Africa to marry his black queen.

For some weird reason, I love these young Africa men marrying old soon to expire white ladies, they are doing the right thing to correct the imbalance in economic in flow and for every such marriage you see, there a potential opportunity for a black sister to emigrate abroad on a plater of gold, more so since they would not be producing any interracial kids, Dr. Umar would love it.

Look at the glass half full.

The divorce is not yet final….the above is a discovery release from the wife’s lawyer.

Things like this come up discovering and discovering is a pre-trial instrument use in litigations to obtain information from the other individual.

If the wife have a good lawyer, they would subpoena his income information from the mother since it contain relevant information needed for the divorce to know joint marital assets.

In the alternative, the court can impute income to him, the value of his yearly to total contract is public information and that amount can easily be adjusted for the three years to have been married, then deducting mandatory deductions, viola! the court have his earning info to be used.

If what you stated is true and not a copy and past from a previous post as someone else alleged here.

Also for someone here who may be going through similar situation, he should make sure:

1. Not to get into any criminal case as convictions on that will affect him. He was so stupid to try going back to see his kids, women know that you have emotional connections with your kids and they will use it as baits to lure you. He should keep away from her, all communication must be written text of email or record all calls.

2. He should be looking for a job and document all efforts and seek all government benefits available and file all these with the court.

3. He should read up about court proceedings and cases and how best to represent himself.

4. He should not miss any court date and files with the court his joblessness and efforts to get a job.

5. File before the court a motion to see his kids pending finalization of the divorce.

6. Reject all allegations and request discovery and any evidence the wife have.

7. Do not go the house again, don’t see the ex alone.

8. Pick up himself and be a man, he will survive it.

9. File and ask the court for alimony, custody, child support, etc….the best defense is to play offense.

Ok sir, I hear…..we will both come back here to see how it will end, I guarantee the white man will not let him go scout free.

A lady accused him of rape, despite the lady refusing to press charges, the French government took it upon themselves to press charges against him, their reasons been for ‘public interest’.

He is paying lawyers in both cases but we are hear saying he is broke and all his money were dashed to his mother…just like the mother is currently dashing him attorney fees, she should be ready to be dashing him alimony monies, etc.

His best bet is to settle those cases, otherwise if a Judge decides on it, they will take him to the cleaners and throw his ass into jail until he ask him mother to dash him alimony money.

Okay, it is understandable then and his income and assets before marriage are protected and not marital assets depending on how he maintain them.

If he uses marital incomes to improve a pre-marriage asset, portion of that asset can be considered marital property. If that pre-marital asset earns income e.g. rent, lease, etc…those monies less expenses to maintain the properties can be considered marital asset.

You can only give what you rightly own, in the western world, your income and that of your wife are considered marital property belonging to both of you.

She have to consent to that, but reasonable up keep money sent to parents is understandable but not your entire income.

Any man that cuts tie with his family members is incomplete and like a dust in the desert.

It's not advisable.
I will take it that, you are not the breadwinner in that family and are not married, especially if you are a man!

Some families are pure evil, devil incarnate…na that time you go throughly understand what Jesus said…”….these here are my brothers and my sisters”.

If you are married focus on your Nuclear family and defend them and your wife against extended family members even your siblings.

Statistically and on average men grow olden and feeble more earlier than their wives and during that period when you can help yourself it is your wife and kids that will be there to attend to you until your last breath….Your siblings wouldn’t change your diaper, they wouldn’t give you a bath, they wouldn’t clean up after you shit, if they are s alive, they will be far away attending to their own husband or tackling their own old age the best way they can.

My dad today is very old, to a greater extent he needs help in many areas of his daily existence….guest what, none of his siblings are there to help with one single thing, it is my mother that shoulders all the responsibility. We the kids are far, we visit once in a while and support financially with everything but, it is mom that does the day to day stuff.

You many say, that is old day’s marriage and that ladies are not that loyal these days….but, that does not negate the fact that tomorrow your siblings wouldn’t be around and for a loyal wife, find one today and make sure you treat them with dignity and defend them, give them a reason to want to stand by you when you are old and feeble and one of that reason is by standing by them today, you can’t control what would happen tomorrow or if they will stand by you, just play your part today and leave the rest to God.

That is not correct, once you are married it does not matter who name the properties are under.

All his salary and earnings during the time they are married is considered marital property subject to equitable distribution during divorce unless there is a prenup that states otherwise.

There are courts would consider what he did as fraud and an attempt to hide marital assets and throw his ass into jail until he fesses up.

Regardless, the court can sum up all his earning throughout the marriage less reasonable expenses and deductions and use the arrived at value as the marital earnings subject to distribution.

They will then apportion a percentage to his ex wife, the wife can even move to have his passport seized and he can be imprisoned if he does not pay.

His best bet is to escape now and quit international football goodbye or come to some out of court settlement with the ex.

What they needed to do first was to immediately commence CPR, not to rush him to the hospital.

The actions they wrongly described as his attempts at getting up was just a period of gasping, which called for immediate CPR initiation.

Unfortunately, the average Nigerian lacks both First Aid and basic CPR skills.
Bros, I dey fear you!

So you mean in that situation you will render CPR with the Nigeria factor?

Before rendering CPR, you should also pray and be an accurate betting man that, he survives and get up from there immediately after your CPR, anything other than that, you will be labeled the killer.

Because, all that the Police will have is ‘the guy fall, got up and fall again and as he was struggling on the group, this guy came and start pressing his chest very hard and that is how he died…’

Good luck on convincing the Judge that you were performing CPR, plus the other question would be are you a medical professional and did you train on the proper techniques of CPR? Even medical professionals in the current Nigeria setting would be hesitant to attempt CPR.

Pray that, may Nigeria never happen to you.
