Politics / Re: Nigeria's 36 States Ranked In Order Of Land Mass by manontree: 10:18am On Jul 31, 2020
These people are so funny. Land mass means nothing in terms of economic conditions

England is 132km which is less than Niger and Borno states

Can you compare those comatose states with England?

Most of those land mass in the north are empty espanse of lands. You can drive for hours without seeing a single habitat

He was a terror. An Idi Amin that showed Nigerians whether innocent or guilty, no mercy. He would parade you publicly, disgrace you and your properties, condemn you through his willing media, and glorify in his often one sided anti corruption mantra

Corruption can be fought better. We have laid down rules. While not making cases for fraudsters, the country has degenerated somewhat to a machevelian farm of rudderlessness, via our inept leaders. These boys rather than become kidnappers and armed robbers found a way to survive. Fight them in a manner that is proper. The media disgrace is worsening things. You have seen firsthand how it feels to be disgraced publicly without due process

The LASG is doing well. The virus is everywhere. If you have had a bad headache, typical malaria symptoms involving Anosmia (loss of smell), its very likely 99% COVID, especially where most family members around were down also

This is everywhere people. Everyone be careful. Schools must remain shut, churches and mosques same

You are even lucky this govt cares. They are doing many people a big favour

Romance / Re: My Boyfriend Wants Me To Be A Baby Mama. Says He's Scared Of Marriage. by manontree: 5:16am On Jun 11, 2020
I have seen some situations where a couple needed advise from me. The lady said, Doc, I cant live without him. The man said, God, she is choking the life out of me. I simply want my space

A few years later, both were wrong. The lady not only moved on to a better man and better things, he realized he is the one that couldnt live without her and desperately came to me to help him win her back

You see, no man that respects you (which to me is a cardinal point in a good marriage) would ever wish this on you. He clearly dont value you nor desire being with you for life. In short, you are a stop gap to finding his life mate. Ask yourself, wont he plead for marriage the moment he sees that woman that he cant do without?

Another point, few women can give what you give. You dont ask for money, you take care of things, you love him...That's scarce commodity in today's women. If you have all these, except you look like a whale, there would literally be a long queue seeking your attention. Why settle for this?

Like someone said earlier and like the story of the couple above, a few years down the line and you would look back at this with horror about the mistake you nearly made. For truly he is a mistake

Last shot: For those slating marriage, I have been married for almost two decades, as are my friends. Too numerous to mention. Everyone is having a ball. For that one bad marriage that social media highlights, there are thousands, yes thousands, of amazing unions. Keep deceiving yourselves. Marriage is this and that. Like you arent a product of one

Romance / Re: I Have A Boyfriend But I'm Falling In Love With Someone Else. by manontree: 3:13am On Jun 09, 2020
At this age few women are mature enough to actually date with wisdom. This is the most adventurous age where lots of mistakes are made

I reckon you are between 18-22yrs. At this age it's hard to see a woman that is committed and see through a relationship unless it is with someone older who probably has money, thus she sticks around for the cash and ride and eventually marries him

Few at this age sticks with a man finding his feet without doing all sorts behind his back. If he happens not to discover they may end up marrying much later. This is a very few cases. Most break up and tries numerous people before finally realising how things flies when they are around 28-32yrs and would look back at this past decisions with horror

My advise

There is this saying that if Goodluck Jonathan had won the 2015 election most Nigerians would by now be thinking had it been that Buhari won Nigeria would have been like London by now. Dollar would be equal to naira and Nigerians would have 24hrs electricity

But as Buhari won, we have seen that the grass is not always greener at the other side...

With maturity you would realise that a wise person sticks and works for the growth of what he or she has. There is no perfect person. There would always be others better than you or your boyfriend or your husband. But that doesnt mean whenever those seemingly better ones come around, you ditch your present for them. You would find that if you did this, it may ultimately lead to the story I said above, plus you lose your credibility and respect amongst noble men and women

Family / Re: The Biggest Mistake In Marriage Right Now For A Woman by manontree: 4:29am On May 23, 2020
Rubbish. Marriage is this, marriage is that yet week in week out thousands are getting married. Am I missing something here? If it's that bad why are thousands or even millions getting married. Social media has swamped the institution to the extent that the few bad cases are highlighted and scorned making people think marriage is hell

It is not. Simply marry with no intention to scam your spouse. It is a continuous work in progress for both and approach it with the spirit of give and take and NOT me me me

Also make sure you do not jump into marriage with anyone that catches your fancy. Avoid using looks, wealth and dress sense as a basis which a lot of ladies live and hang by. Character trumps all these. Marry someone with good character and every other would be added onto you

Finally what you expect from your spouse, be that character first

True. No real leadership shown. In other climes the president leads from the front and daily briefs the country on ongoing efforts

We lose an average of 10 citizens daily and were on lockdown for weeks yet only had two recorded broadcast from our leader, without any tangible information on palliative to the raging unemployment and benefits for those being laid off. Thank God for Sanwo Olu who has been everywhere and given people hope, periodically detailing efforts to combat the virus and how the economy would be recovered

Romance / Re: Should I Break Up Or Make Up With My Boyfriend? by manontree: 4:45am On May 22, 2020
This is one of the mistakes women make when marrying. Never accept a lazy and unambitious man in marriage. When the chips are down, a woman would do whatever it takes to feed her children. Some lazy men wouldn't be bothered

As a woman before marriage is the time to get it right. Dont overlook obvious flaws with the hope that things would get better. They rarely do, except for some very few cases. Don't gamble on probability. When they say get a man of your dreams, choices, this is precisely what they mean

My sisters made these mistakes and now are burdens on us. Their husbands whom they married out of love simply wouldn't be bothered. Always remember that love is not always enough

Be rational like this lady. Even the bible tells us to test all spirits. Get the right one suitable for you. It's like shopping for clothes. A particular dress may be good for another but not for you

For those slating you, pls ignore. You and you alone is wearing that shoe and know precisely were it pinches. Never sell your dreams short. Even if going by your dreams lead to mistakes. History will forgive you for trying and failing but would not forgive you for not even trying

Its obvious where this man is taking you. And the prognosis isnt looking too good. He may succeed tomorrow, but that would be with a mighty dose of luck. Do not gamble with your future

Best

Politics / Re: Chima Igwe Scandal: Onu Overrules Board, ICPC, Orders FIIRO Boss' Reinstatement by manontree: 12:31pm On May 19, 2020
Babatunde7109:


Actually, this 'who becomes FIIRO DG' case has been on for a while now.

A formal DG, Dr Elemo, left by imposing on the FIIRO community Chima Igwe as the new DG. As at that time, he wasn't even the next inline - the right person to occupy the position. And instantly, the FIIRO employees cried out to the government on the issue but because of the patron-client-patronage setting that exist between Min. Onu and Dr Elemo (and Chima Igwe), nothing serious has been done to heed their cries.

Why did Dr Elemo impose Igwe as the new FIIRO DG?

Dr Elemo, (f), was the institute's DG for quite a time before she retired last year. And when she was there as the DG, some anomalies took place, particularly in the Accounting Dept. The anomalies got worse when she was about to leave last year.

On her way out of the system, Dr Elemo started selling some of the institute's properties to herself at a very, very cheap prices. Most notable - the ones I can recall - of the properties are some Air Conditioner (AC) belonging to the institute. After all these, to avoid been called for trial when she's gone, she needs a loyalist up there as the DG of the institute. She needs someone to cover her tracks.

Since then, the case has been going on and on, back and forth, and it has resurfaced again.

The institute's Board continues to fight Igwe on the ground that he doesn't have the qualification required for the post, as the Hon. Min. of Sci. and Tech. makes himself a stumbling block against stripping Igwe off the post.
____________________________________________________

I think Dr Elemo has the direct connection with the Minister not Igwe himself. Dr Elemo is promoting her own selfish interests (which include imposition of Igwe as the institute's DG) underground, and the Hon. Min. is their best bet of making this a reality.


You may well have a point. The politics of what goes on in the institute doesnt interst me. What I find very insidious is painting someone in grease so as to call him a pig. Its akin to calling your enemy 'Ole' such that a mob can kill him

I am sure people have Googled what "Attestation" also means certificate in French. Just because the people of this institue me the board doesnt want the man shouldn't make them claim he is a certificate forger. That's a serious allegation jst so you push an innocent man away. People do reap what they sow

If tomor such is done to his wife or kids I am sure those making these false allegations would scream

Romance / Re: What Happened Between My Girlfriend And My Mother by manontree: 5:31am On May 18, 2020
There are just too many weak men around. The facts here suggest the gf knows the kind of man she is dating and the fact she can do and get away with this nonsense

People are very much perceptive of their circumstances. This same girl won't have ths "anger issues" with previous or future boyfriends whom she perceives would clamp down quickly on such or harm her decisively for such stupidity

As for the guy, he is a weakling and a disgrace to noble sons of mothers. Your weakness when leadership is required has handed control over to a much younger person, your girlfriend. You want peace but remember not all peaceful situations are desirable. There is a saying that what's the essense of peace without justice

Romance / Re: I'm Dating HIV Positive Lady & She Is Pregnant. Advice Needed by manontree: 4:30am On May 13, 2020
It appears this man is trying to marry her out of pity. Marriage is usually filled with its up and down and rough patches. If you married out of pity, imagine how these bad patches would be filled with terrible words of valor

Marry because you want to and she is the best for you

As for her HIV status, pre marriage serodiscondant couples are always the most problematic. While it makes for the best outcome in terms of being careful and low transmission levels, there is constant distrust, higher divorce rate and domestic violence cases

You must already know that while she is undetectable she won't be able to infect you. The partners study confirmed what we already know that U equals to U and we have always maintained that having unprotected sex with a HIV positive undetectable person is safer than having unprotected sex with a person of unknown hiv status

If you can afford it, avoid breastfeeding. Regardless of the options of breastfeeding used and even if the child is on ARV as PrEP, there is still a 1.8% chance of transmission
Romance / Re: I Have Feelings For Her But She's Engaged by manontree: 12:19pm On May 09, 2020
She just graduated. Shouldn't she be trying to start a career first before marriage. I don't understand why women would rush into marriage once they graduate

For the poster, I doubt if she is engaged as she said. If she is, this is a red flag for you. If she can give other men green light while in a serious relationship with a man, she would likely do the same against you when you win her over

Hmmm. This is very simple. Since this occured in Facebook and WhatsApp, it's clear as day she is not faithful to you

I also take it she has a high IQ. This is evident in opening her phones without locks, giving you a false sense of security. She is smart enough to archieve all chats before dropping the phone and I bet she has her setting that the bad chats cant occur unless she is in a safe place

I have seen a few of such very smart cheaters. You cant catch then red handed unless you use someone to trap them

Romance / Re: Her Parents Rejected Me Because I Am A Polytechnic Graduate by manontree: 6:57am On May 03, 2020
This is an interesting and educative post. As a husband and parent myself I must state the following:

(1) Every parent would want the best for their kids

(2) Marriage in Africa is not just between the man and woman. For those yet to marry, pls never underestimate the influence of your both families. Most progressive unions are built on strong support of their immediate and extended families. Some men cannot even imagine breaking up with their wives due to their strong relationship with their families

(3) A good father does background checks on his kid's suitors. They do not leave such to chance. You are equally getting into this family with your daughter or son and as such you must be absolutely sure where you are going

On the basis of the above, we cannot simply assume the man got it wrong or she can do whatever she wants based on love. The father has his reasons and it is important OP sorts these out or leave
