My goodness! did that man actually think his girlfriend would love him more for stabbing another man? some people are just stupid.
I hope the guy that got stabbed was able to make a full recovery

tosh_acer:
with these responses - I pity Nigeria. Any developmental effort is either sneered at or politicised or tribalised or written off b4 inception, which way Nigeria.

This is so true!

some people are even comdeming the entire north for this decision. y is it that some people are so quick to condem the north? the WHOLE OF NIGERIA is problematic. 8 years of Olusegun Obasanjo still has not tought u that a southern leader can be just as bad??

One of the reasons i had faith in a brighter nigeria is cuz i always thought this generation of nigerian youth would not be as petty as previous generations (considering tribal issues) but the longer i stay on NL the more disappointed i get.

@ post- the issue to be worried about is maintainance of the plant. as someone stated, we cant even maintain a hydro plant talk more of a nuclear one! i must admit, in my opinion its a scary and perhaps unreasonable decision to make.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! this is the most disappointing post i'v seen on nairaland.

i agree that there are problems in the north ( underdevelopment, etc) but this has nothing to do with being muslims. It is because of greedy polititians and shame on you (poster) for correlating the two!

r u saying there is no poverty in the south? true the poverty and illiteracy level is higher in the north but please dont put that on their religion. U say muslim's "carry their religion on top their heads", well, yes the average muslim takes his or her faith seriously but greed, dishonesty etc are a problem of the nation as a whole.

namun:
why is it that some muslims carry their religion on their head. mostly northerners. these people have been the major problem of Nigeria, one rarely sees good news or advancement coming from the north apart from religious crisis and poverty. what is it with you people eh?? instead of thinking of how to develop shekaru as useless as he is along with the other northern governors are busy implementing sharia and using of veils and marry other wives. the day the south received its curse was the day it became amalgamated with you, the north

SERIOUSLY? u believe the problem with nigeria is the north are u saying if the south was a separate country the country would be better? NO! IT WOULD STILL B AFRICA, where greed rains!

YOU WANT PROGRESS? well u can personally contribute to our dear nigeria's progress by loving ur neighbours instead of causing divisions by posts like this.

AS FOR WILYWILY who claims that Islam was brought by the devil I say shame on u for saying such a thing! SHAME! AND For anyone who shares wilywily's opinion i say-

ISLAM IS THE ONLY NON-CHRISTIAN FAITH THAT ACCEPTS JESUS CRIST TO B A HOLY MAN. Muslims believe in his virgin birth, his miracles and so many other things he did. As a muslim myself this thread brought me to tears (and i'm not kidding). when, when, when will we stop the hate and be ONE NIGERIA??

Regarding work as a banker in nigeria (marketing sector) i know what entry level salaries are from a post a read here on NL but i'd like to know what its like a year or two after entry. i know in banking one can look forward to promotions but how often is that?

Also a friend of mine took the CBN recruitment test in march and still is wondering about results. Does anyone have any news on that pls?

THANKS

ok. that text was nice. just be patient for now and the next time you try to make a move remember that good communication is the key (don't forget to communicate with ur daughter as well). try not to sound controlling or demanding. even if ur ex starts shouting or behaving inappropriately(women can b like that) YOU must keep a cool head. Do it for ur daughter cuz the cooler u appear the more she'll want to b with u. yelling can scare her away.

bear in mind that this situation might take a while to resolve. ur ex might bring up the fact that u were only letting her see her daughter in ur mum's place, and thats an issue u might have to humble urself and appologise for. But be patient and hopefully things will end up for the best. God always helps the patient ones with pure intentions. I wish u all the best.

My advice is this: Sit ur daughter down and ask her why she ran away. Listen to your daughter's reasons instead of pressuming her mother is the cause of her running away.

From what i see u care for ur child greatly and thats wonderful. Its nice to hear of a responsible man who takes care of his family. Ur concerns about your daughter spending time with her mother may be legit, but a girl needs her mother and if u try to separate them ur daughter will hate u for it in the long run. she wont understand that u were just looking out for her. U need to make a deal with them (ur ex and ur child). u could tell them that since u'll support her she should live with u but be free to go and visit her mom on weekends/holidays AT HER MOM'S HOUSE. Having them supervised is cruel.

Another very important thing is this- a girl generally wont run away unless she's desperately unhappy. Do u yell at her too much? order her around? how does ur wife treat her in ur presence and absence? does she feel there's no one she can talk to in ur house (lonely)? the answers to these questions need to come from ur daughter.

messiah:
As long as our leaders politicise everything and the masses attach sentiment to trivial things, we can never know the real figure.
I don't know why the Southerners just can't believe the Northerners outnumber them. Hmm, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

what r u thinking?

@ DD brown- c'mon, don't be like that, naija is one country and the sooner we stop this north-south BS the better it'll be for all of us. We're stuck together as one so causing divisions or one side hating the other is not good for anyone. it just shows how backward our thinking is. Just b'cuz ppl are different from u doesn't mean u should make jokes about them not human beings!

@ poster- contrary to what many ppl think, i actually dont believe 2 ppl have to be exactly alike to have good relationship. if u love this girl and love ALMOST everything about her, then there's a good chance that she's 'the one'.

Ever heard of the saying "opposites attract"? no 2 ppl are exactly alike to begin with, so if we all start looking to be not just the same, but on the same level in various ways then, well, romance would be for very few.

my opinion is to ask urself simply; "do i love her?" if the answer is yes and if she's overall a good person (which u say she is) then u really might be missing out on something great if u let her go. Dont worry abt her spirituality so much, u can teach her abt that and i'm sure she can teach u a thing or two abt other stuff.

Remember its like u said- good girls are somewhat hard to come by. hmm, u even have loving inlaws to go with your package. and if i was as spiritual as u, i probably would be greatful to God for giving me such a package. But hey, thats just me!

@ofokasibe: hey! hey! abeg have hope, naija has many probs but there's a newer generation coming up and HOPEFULLY will try to collectively make the country at least a little better, i think we'v all had enough of our leaders' bull (older generation) and some of us may put our frustration in a positive direction.

, didn't listen to the song tho.
