give her part.
for e.g if she needs 40k , give her 30k and tell her that's your own little way of helping and then zoom off.
if she try contacting u, pls ignore or give a lame excuse if its persistent but pls zoom off.

All these hatred stuff is totally unnecessary. I prefer diplomatic route to secession.(prefer restructuring through) leaders should speak up for this at the Senate to avoid bloodshed

I had wanted to say that Ngige had a wrongful perspective to his view of politics even though some element of it was that u need to apply diplomacy in managing ur" enemies" in politics but when i saw this post from 2011, i now know that people are of short, very short memory and selfish

Yoruba Marginalization: Elders Met Jonathan To Complain - SMH by Sunofgod(m): 8:47am On Aug 27, 2011
Yoruba Elders Meet Jonathan To Complain About Marginalisation - Smh

Written by Leon Usigbe, Abuja
Friday, 26 August 2011

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan met with a delegation of the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), led by Major-General Adeyinka Adebayo (retd), in the State House, on Thursday, as the leaders complained about being left out in the top six posts in the country.

The delegation also demanded for the dissolution of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), which they observed had been unable to fulfill the objectives of its establishment, while also asking for action of the deplorable roads in the South-West.

But responding to their requests, President Jonathan said he was concerned about adherence to the principle of federal character and the zoning formula adopted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and he had tried to ensure that no section of the country was left out in the scheme of things by accommodating them in the subsequent appointments he had made.

According to him, “the issue of federal character and position, especially those political offices, were quite worrisome to me, but we had to achieve political balancing and federal character.

“That is why this thing you describe as zoning was to make sure that every zone should be represented in the one you describe as top six, but for some political reasons, it was not possible. But on my own, in terms of appointments, I tried to see that the way appointment was made, you will agree with me that the appointments we have made so far did not exclude any section.”

He promised that he would not preside over a government that would margninalise any section of the country.

Jonathan lauded the role of Yoruba elders in the 2011 presidential election, which enabled the PDP to win in the South-West saying that the success was made possible because of the leadership.

On the request for the dissolution of the NDDC, Jonathan said though there were many complaints about the commission, it could not be dissolved because it was made up of management and staff.

Jonathan restated his commitment to ensure that things were done differently in the country, adding that corrupt officials would no longer be allowed to go scot free, while outstanding performers would be rewarded.

Why even answer their questions.

This is a welcome development, the Yorubas should be effectively and perpetually marginalized and schemed out, because they deserve worst things also. What did they achieve for their rotten Yoruba states during wasted years of the baboon called Obasanjorijo Useless and woe tribe. They should step up the complaint, GEJ will as usual and as always mess them up. They forgot that Tinubo sold them out for a pot of 'ewodu', the same way their foolish leaders sold out abioala to the almajiris to be slaughtered.

@Topic,

If Yoruba feel marginalised, they should hold ACN responsible for siding with Tambuwal to deny them of the House Speakership slot. GEJ did all he could, but the myopic ACN leaders decided to sell to the highest bidder - the IBB-Atiku backed Tambuwal.

'I dey laff oooo,' says Obasanjo who did not deem is necessary to fix any road during his 8 year tenure, but wanted a third term!

Me too I dey laff ooo, but in marginalisation grin grin grin grin

hence I don't believe the data/analysis was done without some bias. my opinion

Goke7:
don't know why folks are surprised with sanusi's comments, sanusi had a prolonged banking career which ended up as CBN boss. He had seen the projections in years to come and know that the north is just living in self denial. With the agitations in the east and silent agitations in the west, the future of the north is so shaky and sanusi himself is becoming agitated hence the regular outbursts from him.

The day power will shift back to the south again, the north may be in serious trouble as the fulani herdsmen issue has placed the north in a bad light which will continue to affect their economic fortune. The only thing the north has right now is political power and in this century if you can't convert political power to economic advantage then you are at a disadvantage. This is what sanusi is crying about. The north keeps living in denial.

.

Sir, you said most things correct but i have some other perspective.

the north has political power, military power and an edge on agriculture.

however they lack in education,technology, health and hygiene,

Technology can be bought( known fact) but education ( nah nah) it has to be entrenched into the system and i think this is the area SLS is particular about because once u make education priority, all others would be taken up gradually.

I still envy the north for their hardworking and agriculture-centric people ( all other forms of land investment causes damage to the earth on the long run,

agriculture preserve or at least balances the damage or alterations.

with that said,

IF THE NORTH CAN ENTRENCH EDUCATION and not religious and demographic sentiment that favor quota system and nepotism and dogmatic reactions, , believe me they would be the toast of the country,

They have military strength too

dear op,
since its recent,
which one of u have Christian parents?

pls the two of you should go for counselling.

its irresponsible to just ask for a break up when you just had a child.

the two of u have put the child on harm's way.

haba, why is this generation like this?

please the two of you go for counselling,- church counselling.

but let me be frank,

dear sister, u are at fault, why do u ladies put your bodies down without honor.

had the two of done introduction and trade wedding, I could understand,

you have put the child in a difficult situation.

I just wish U God's guidance

suspend Nigeria of what?

,
u disvirgined a lady and then came to nairaland to ask for advice.

the same way u disvirgined her if someone comes to deplete u of ur riches by deceit and leaves how would u feel?

anyway.

I can't advise u further,

if u have pix, pls include.

most important look out feature is very neat with chilling A/C.

in the voice of Gene Hackman in " unforgiven"...innocent of what?

it was culled from Facebook so there's no need to insult the op. I read it myself on Fb.

Zoharariel:
Cut her monthly salary from 17.2% to 5% for the rest of the year. And that is because of your baby, otherwise I would have suggested you cut it to 0% and chase her out with a broomstick around 2AM in the middle of the night.

Women of nowadays are brain-dead ingrates.

.

it might work and might not.

but it might work though(OK I was joking all the while).

dear op cutting her "salary" from the way u constructed the woman at home will not yield ur desired result. u will just make her look at her option when she get pressed.
the fact she has s baby already swing things to her favour.

I must need to know the level of communication between the 2 of u.
what's the age difference and how old is she.
to be honest, from your description ur wife seem "not yet matured" or lacks maturity to put in another way.
she is young married has a baby and still in school., likely to be very beautiful too
could be pride? may be.
because u doing all this for a matured woman will earn her respect.

I just advice church counseling. (I recommend Baptist church.). very thorough counseling needed for her so that her understanding can change and that u have a good foundation.

best of luck Sir

wow. this is a serious situation.
had to read twice.
first let the man be. give him his space.(to reduce friction and aggression).
secondly u need financial help but u are pregnant.

pls do u attend a church. if so seek help there.-talk to the pastor or wife. (I will recommend Baptist church if u can)

then go to a health centre, once u get help, and start or antenatal
At the health centre look for a matured nurse to explain ur ordeal (leave out the aggression in your story).
all u need is sympathy to get help,

let the nurse (with help)write the bill on paper for every stuff you do there even if u have paid, take to the church if u can get some of it. then finally take it to ur husband.

if u are afraid to talk to him, write it on s note that the paper is the bill for the antenatal care for the week.
keep doing that every week whether he pays or not.

I also believe he drops money for food,
go for cheaper items and keep what save from it.

my wife does have sowing machine but it seem u stay in the East. how to send from Lagos is a problem besides I have to talk to her

for now think of surviving the difficult time before I think of getting financial reliance.

Got this mail today.

Those of you that have complained about scrupulous charges by GTB BANK. now is opportunity to "eat" your money back.

If u head to VI all because of this , it may not be a waste after all. 10am to 8pm and admission is free.


okay oh, proceed with caution.

Shossie:
. I am so glad you even confessed about having girlfriends outside your marriage which is wrong, work on that. Is she working and do you give her enough money, I disagree with people telling you that you are stingy, you might be but that doesn't justify her actions, you need to sit her down, she should learn to trust you, she needs to tell you before she will buy this and that to know if you can afford it. I don't appreciate her transferring money from your phone, its a bad thing, its a trait and if you didn't know, she would continue and would withdraw all your money. Her attitude has to be checked and also, show her more love and attention, it will be fine.

Thank you sister,

your advice is very valid and u must be a someone who tries to be upright.

you have said what is nneded to be said if not all.

Dear folks,

while i appreicate that responses to the op are from people of divers background, i am suprised that many are caling op names, "stingy" and all sort.

Please focus on the issue first which is transferring money from her husband account without telling him.

for the wife to have known his password or pin says the op trust his wife,

u can not judge because of the amount in the account is huge ( 600k plus)

we are talking about a character issue, .

do we all know what the money in the account is meant for?

are u saying having 600k in an account means the op salary is 600k per month?

do we know whether this happens even after op has meet her agreed budget per period say per week or per month?

do u know how many years the op spent in accumulating such amount.

haba folks, nothing stops the wife from telling her husband her need,

but in in ones life, u can not satisfy every need because some are more pressing than other and some require planning e.g buying a land, building a house, paying for rent, school fees, investments, etc

Please look at the issue raised. not what u are tring to raised that led to the issue.

i don't subscribe to girlfriends cos i don't do it and to me it wrong but u can not know the context of girlfrind the op mentioned.

dear op,

divorce is strong but we all say things of extreme meaning when we are angry,

please sit her down and ask her to re-budget her needs per week so that if it need an increase , you and her can agree, and of course u will see why it need the increase.
and then try and meet them,

Yeah it is wide. Over-convidence in business is not advisable. Ask Blackberry and Nokia
