The G-5 Governors or " Integrity Group" emerged after Wike lost out to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar at the PDP presidential primary election, and after the former was also bypassed for consideration of the vice presidential slot of the party which was offered to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state.
The group is, however, demanding the removal of the PDP’s National Chairman, Iyiorcha Ayu as a condition to support Atiku, even though they are yet to announce their preferred presidential candidate.
The Governors have earlier pulled out of the Presidential Campaign Council and publicly announced they will not be backing the Candidacy of the PDP Presidential Candidate unless their demands are met.
envoymedia: Court Orders Lady To Pay Man N150k For Refusing To Show Up After Collecting N3k Transport Fare
An Enugu Magistrate court has reportedly ordered a lady to pay a man the sum of N150,000 as damages for failing to show up after receiving N3000 transport fare from him, IGBERETV has learnt.
Twitter user Nupe lawyer shared the news on story. He wrote
A friend I have always helped in 9ja asked me this question when I was unable to help him once. He lives in Lagos and complained every now and then seeking help. I did my best each time. When I told him times are quite hard, he asked why I have not returned home yet.
Mind you, each time he complained about difficulties of Lagos life, I never once asked him why he has not returned to his village or home state in Nigeria yet. Because I knew that after decades in Lagos, with kids, wife and life in Lagos, Lagos was now his home. I would be insulting him by saying return to your village.
Now look at it this way. How easy is it to move from Lagos after 15 to 30 years back to Orlu, Iseyin, Kafachan or Ozoro at the age of 40 to 55, with young kids? Which job will you be doing in your village? There are clearly too many people stuck in Lagos and just managing but almost all never leave Lagos. Same in PH, KD and other cities.
Well, it should be easy to realise also that those in US/Europe are also humans. Diaspora born and bred kids will find it hard adjusting to life in 9ja. Your elite are sending their kids abroad for quality education, and you bring yours to 9ja? And you have no access to the huge money of politicians?
I don't like living in Lagos, for example. Way too crowded and many parts dirty. Abuja is not where I want to be either. When I return by God's grace, it's to my hometown as a retiree. Investing in 9ja over the decades ended in huge losses. From bank shares, businesses, etc. Too much dishonesty. So the basis (established business and self-employment) for returning at a relatively young age was already gone. That left politics only. I resisted it because I don't like our brand of politics.
You watched over the decades how everything you knew changed over the decades visiting home. Community spirit, being brother's keep, and all gone. Returning to 9ja with no parents alive any more and all the good things about 9ja you cherished gone, would be like moving to an entirely different country.
For most people who have lived abroad for decades, diaspora is now their home and of their kids. 9ja is a memory with nostalgia. Houses built in 9ja are for holiday visits that the family enjoy for two to four weeks and leave. And investment.
As a kid, my local university, university hospital and schools were full of diaspora returnees, their oyinbo wives and kids, some Asians and a few Europeans as staff. Today locally trained professionals are rushing abroad.
For the quality of life that you manage to enjoy abroad, there are big trade-offs. These are what we try to make people aware of before they move abroad.
The TV documentary series called "60 Minutes, Australia", recently aired an expose on how Nigerian scammers working online are destroying lives in Australia. This footage included a dramatic raid on a 419 scam house filled with computers and scammers at work.
For those who wonder why Nigerians are treated like criminals wherever they travel on this planet, look no further than the effects of the Yahoo Boys internet scam artists.
Well from experience you can make 3k alone if you can work at least 6days a week for 14hrs on a 11£ hour job. Moreover you and your wife can comfortably work 3k a month even if the student has to work 20hrs a week. Fact
ahiboilandgas: this how una they mislead people where is the tuition fees balance ? if 10,000 ? Where is the 700 x 2 psw visa fees ? Where is the ihs fees ? then where the over 7m Naira una take enter in the first place !.
This is the reason nigerians are leaving the country in droves.

Make the best decision for YOURSELF. GET A JOB AND HAVE YOUR OWN MONEY BII
Banilla: I suppose. We weren't born rich, so I absolutely want us to live better. When I had a job, I saved but I don't think he did. And it's frustrating. He talks alot about the future but all this time, we haven't really started working towards achieving any of our goals, atleast I'm trying despite living in the poorest country. He's doing better, so I expect some effort but I'm getting nothing.
I'll encourage him to save, I did when he first got the job, five months after we started dating. I know he'll quit again, he keeps doing it. All I need is stability.
Or I should just risk it? Stop planning, depend on fate? Trust him to make the best decision for us both?
FalseProphet1: He should save in your bank, I don't understand did he tell you his bank has problem or he doesn't know how to save money. Madam keep your eyes out of his money and focus on your education if not, no guy would take you serious.
Banilla: Mods, take this to the front page. Thank you.
Hi everyone! I have a boyfriend, we've been together for a year. I absolutely love him, he's my whole world! And that's the reason I'm pressuring him to save, if we're going to have a future together. And he's down for it, he makes nothing less than 200k monthly. I'm still a student, searching for a decent job. I can't invest sh** presently but I hope to start soon. Yesterday, I brought it up. I want him to send money monthly to my bank account, no matter how little. I'll save it for him. He's hesitating. He said I should be patient, he'll give me everything I need but he wants more time. I don't want to ruin our relationship but I need his co-operation. I'm scared he might leave me, after I've given him the best years of my life. I subtly threatened him that my family would force me to marry a Nigerian but he made a joke out of it, saying I would never, that I'm his...
What should I do?
NB: I've never taken a dime from him. He drinks often and I don't want him spending 'our future' on alcohol! I'm way better at saving.
I'm worried if I press the subject, he'll get mad at me.
I also told him I want to leave Nigeria, he thinks it's a good idea and I also told him I can't afford it alone. He said he needs time.
Doesn't he love me? Should I let it go? Or insist we resolve this?
Tife270: I have a challenge which I need to overcome ASAP in this new year. I’m averagely good looking ( probably a 6/10), I find it difficult to say ‘NO’ to the financial requests of female friends, although I get laid in return sometimes. I have seen guys that do not spend much on ladies and they seem to attract a lot of ladies. Those category of guys also get laid lot of times without spending much. How do guys pull stunts like this?
You want to leave naija, solely for the purpose of going to work to foot the bills of your girlfriend that doesn't have a full visa yet in uk?
Lmao
ednut1: marriage then she files for you. You sure say this babe dey find husband or who go pay bills.there are lots of 9ja babes who went abroad but dont agree with the working to pay bills lifestyle. They are used to men sponsoring them in Nigeria. Be wise
Don't you want to own her? Thought you men usually boast of owning us after marriage like say we be luggage? Segtech68, if you don't want to be Segun Carpenter or Segun Alabaru, go and marry her legally. Cos that's one of the criteria for granting couple visa and also she's an asset to you. Men run from legal marriage cos they want to v opportunity to cheat in future. Make person dey plan future sin in advance. It's demonic. Extra marital affairs has ruined lots of men.
Anyways, just in case you're an actual person, there's such a thing as Prenup agreement.
Read up, draw an agreement, both of you sign.
Simple.
** Edit, for those that raised the issue of demise of either partner, a prenup still allows you to dictate who inherits your estate on your demise. Simply draw up a suitable will to handle this.
segtech68: I'm in a very serious relationship which will likely lead to marriage before the middle of this year. she's a good lady, very decent, God fearing and has a good Job. We both love each other so there's no point waiting than to marry her. We've talked about it and she loves the idea. Also , i've met her family and her parent treated me kindly.
The issue is, we are both planning to relocate after marriage to any of the western countries, we are both credible financially and i'm very sure we won't get denied but the stories i've heard about women changing after getting abroad makes me want to think twice about the court marriage. I would love to do every other marital right except court marriage.
How do i tell her politely without losing her? please i'll appreciate your advise.
aisha1314: Why are women always shamed so many if their sex tape or nudes which were made or taken without their consent are leaked onto the internet?
I ask this because I feel such shame and embarrassment is quite unnecessary since they aren't the only people having sex; it's something natural that everyone does!
And also, is there any way for a person that this happens to to get justice here in Nigeria?
IceColdVeins: I used to think having a brutal dog is a part of machoism until I saw a neighbour's rottweiler rip a poor child's belly open (she survived though). Dang! I had severe trauma, then I started hating dogs and could no longer trust my neapolitan mastiff, I had to give it out to a dog trainer and never looked back. I'll never understand why people still keep domesticated beasts in their home.
