Does getting married make you happier, healthier, more integrated into society, and better off in all sorts of other physical, emotional, and interpersonal ways? Although ,i think there are important ways in which lifelong single people do better than people who get married. But I don’t think there is a simple, one-size-fits-all answer to the question of whether it is better to stay single or get married.

What is likely to be true is that some people live their best lives by marrying, whereas others live their best, most authentic, most meaningful and fulfilling lives by living single.
Over to the singles nd married..let hear from you.

Op something tells me that U are single... but d oda tin tels me dat u are single by choice... OK na joke o


I think being married is better, imagine me here staying alone in this big house week in week out. Months in Months out, I can't stay like dis all life long MBA. however married life have its challenges too but life is all about challenges d solution to one challenge is d beginning of another and it goes on and on and in all that we mature based on what we make of d experiences we acquire. Summary Married Life is Better though I am single for now

that's a pure lie. I stayed in makurdi for a whole year and can confidently tell u, makurdi people don't mill around restaurants. And don't take half-eaten food. U may be talking of far north bit not makurdi

he is out to make Mischief. nothing like dat not even in interiors like Vandeikya. by d way I am not from Benue state I am just being honest

grandstar:
One thing I notice outside Benue state is that the minority Idoma's speak badly about the more populous Tivs.

Yet the few Tivs I met are nothing but angels.

I would have dreaded marrying a Tiv if I hadn't met any first hand

Tiv people are so wonderful and hospitable set of people. if all ethnic nationalities welcome strangers like Tiv we will coexist peacefully with one another.

But I wanna ask, how do these people usually get the mind to kill these humongous snakes?

When they remember dat NFP will b added to their names just like u add BSc to ur name or GCFR by d president...
NFP=Nairaland FrontPager

olayinkaboss11:
Ojukwu shouldn't have killed Banjo, cuz a veteran like Banjo and Ifeajuna would have help him to save Enugu from falling to the Nigeria's Army

let's keep sentiments aside can you assign a tactical command like that Enugu front to Officers that u do not trust their loyalty if u are to be in Ojukwu's shoes? Ojukwu suspected betrayal from both Banjo and Ifeajuna, Are they culpable we dont know because we were not there. It is my thinking that Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu would have saved the Enugu front if he were to be alive then, at least Ojukwu trust him, but he doesnt want them so close to him too because even within the Biafra Military the Coupists were also feared and dreaded even by Ojukwu himself. All sentiments aside.

Dear friend,

When embarking on perilious journeys like this, it is best to assume your worst case scenario. It amounts to delusion to do otherwise. Remember the old saying; "never underestimate the other guy's greed" (also insert jealousy, envy et al).

There is a reason why Nigeria does not really care about our neighbours; Niger, Cameroon and co. As different countries, overtime, our interests differ...and even oppose each other. No matter how friendly you expect Niger Delta and Biafra to be, overtime, reality and competition will differentiate them. A landlocked will become an economic victim of the Niger Delta.

As for Israel, she is not landlocked. Two, she is the creation of Anglo-American wealth. It will be foolhardy to assume Biafra in the same breath as Israel. It os such folly that will lead to destruction of the East.

Foolhardy is a very strong term. I agree with U dat we should assume a worst case scenario in situation as this but I strongly doubt your worst case scenario will apply with Biafra. How were these people able to withstand federal might for 30 Months . How were they able to power their Automobiles & other artillery for d 30 Months d war lasted. are U aware that within the period there was a lot of research that went on outcome of which was d Popular Ogbunigwe aka Ojukwu bucket.but in Nigeria they did not have time for such research. My dear friend don't underestimate what a human being can achieve when pushed beyond their comfort zone, don't ever underestimate it. Israel quite well is US pet nation but it will be a misrepresentation of facts to call their achievements Anglo-American Wealth. They are in fact the closest of what a determined nation in d midst of foes can achieve. Israel hv disagreed severally with US & Britain both covertly & Openly, Israel's greatest Military wares some don't even find their way into America. Even if they received help from US it was their human capital that built their state to what it is today. but ur point are well clear

hehehehe...Well Well I see U are d one. Now i concur with everything, how could I have disagreed. Nwa di ok

kenonze:
This must be Umuahia .
Umuahia is still the best planned city in the entire SE and SS.

Modified
For those quoting me,
Pls there is a big difference between PLANNED and BIG but unplanned city.
All Streets in Umuahia has drainages linked up with bigger tunnels . U will be at Number 1 of a Street and be seeing number 99 of same street due to the arrangement. Due good interwoven road network, it is almost impossible to have traffic gridlock unlike PH

Nne i beg to disagree. but is that you on ur dp, if that is u odikwa egwu.

plz stop attacking people's personality here, it doesnt mk sense to me. lets attack d issues not personality, some of us come here to read informed opinions but when we see all these personality attacks it leaves so little to desire

diadem10:
And only the SE land would be dredged bah?

The right to dredge your land to the sea depends on your surrounding neighbours and if they vetoed the move, there's nothing you can do! That's why people say you're landlocked.

Moreover, dredging the sea could lead to natural disaster, especially when the tide flows..

natural disaster, how what of Suez canal ? are u an expert in this area to make such assumption

JuicyStar:
It's painful to see people who have a good course fight it with a wrong strategy. Agitation is not a bad movement but carefully defining ur goal and mapping out strategy to achieve same is key. Rather than abuse everyone and turn the nation to chaos why can't they mount pressure on the politicians from the east to initiate a constitutional amendment process to accommodate referendum.

One thing is certain that no politician benefiting from the present structure wants restructuring and sessation. All these meetings are shakara just to appear that they are making moves. Is it a senator or rep. member that is earning fat salaries and allowances that would want to give powers to the states thereby reducing the money that goes to the federal? Is it a senator or rep. member that is enjoying in Abuja that would want Biafra to go thereby making them unqualified to be a member of nigeria national assembly. Abi na successful ignore trader scattered around nigeria that would want Biafra?

I bet that even if referendum is to be conducted, u would see how politicians from the east would mobilise their people against it.

My advice is that the Agitation should rather be against perceived marginalisation and need of inclusion in the scheme of things.

U have spoken well

kjhova:
My brother, he has answered you well enough. A proper Igbo only Biafra will be landlocked and likely surrounded by hostile neighbours. Yes, the Imo river pours out to sea. However it passes through Niger Delta (which will be a foreign country under this assumption) who may then impose bans or tariffs on cargo destined for Biafra. Also, the river isn't navigable across its entire length and if the Niger Delta refuse to dredge their end, building an up-river port in Biafra is dead on arrival.

You suggested Airport delivery. There is a reason why 90% of global freight is by sea. Airfreight is freaking costlier than sea! Also, not all cargo can be airlifted. Suppose, Biafra needs to import crude or petroleum products, what quantity can you easily fly into Biafra? More so, airfreight require specialized airports which will be costly to build. Also, hope you know that Biafra's neighbours can close their airspace to Biafran bound planes at the threat of shooting down violators.

Overall, Biafra being a landlocked country will increase its costs of doing business and its dependency on her neighbours. Her credit rating will be lowered due to this vulnerability and cost of funds will be high.

The chances of Biafra becoming an economic success is thus lowered and hinged on the whims of her neighbours.

My good friend, U seem to be seeing everything from pessimistic point of view, lets try to be a little objective in our analysis of these things. in the first place what suggest to u that the Niger Deltan even if they are independent state from Biafra will be hostile to them? the possibility is very low, Even the Yorubas are not that enemy of the igbos to bear arm against them. A look at lagos and the way the other tribes coexist will tell u that armed hostility is very low amongst these people, yes there might be ill feelings here and there but where are there no ill feelings? Then lets take your worst case scenario that every other stste around Biafra hates them they will still survive. In reality the fact that every one hates them will even bond them together to achieve greater ends. Just look at the State of Israel, and u will see that the entire south east is far much bigger than Israel, they are landlocked, they use irrigation all year round in their Agriculture yet, yet they produce enough to eat and export. they thrive well and have u ever herd of economic recession from that quaters. they are sorrunded by hostile neighbors and so what, they adjusted their policies to fit the reality there. Today they export War ships, today the Tavor series (tavor 21) that the SSS, The Navy and recently The Nigeria Airforce are using is produced and owned by israel(just look at israeli weapons.com to see more) My brother Biafra IF achieved will still thrive the realities on ground are not as harsh as you are putting them. thank U

fellow nairalanders why are we not analyzing the issues raised by the gentleman and we are here clouding our views with emotions. i am an igbo and i think Mr Olisa Agbakoba is honest enough in this his interview. The agitation of we Igbos are genuine enough but we should engage the Government the right way. The govt on their part should be ready to listen and dialogue. if they continue using force on armless IPOBs in the long run frustration will lead to aggression. Which is what everyone is trying to avoid. ON THE OTHER HAND THE POLITICAL CLASS IN THE SOUTH EAST WHO HAVE BEEN REPRESENTING US SINCE 1999 ARE BUNCH OF TOTAL FAILURE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FEW RECENT GOVERNORS LIKE PETER OBI AND OBIANO WHO HAVE STARTED SOMETHING REASONABLE IN THEIR STATES.

I've lost all respect I have for that my Niger Delta brother called Ibe Kachikwu. He is timid and useless for not exercising his powers instead of crying like a baby in a memo that won't likely be attended to.

Go and learn from Health Minister Prof Adewole who suspended NHIS boss without writing any useless memo

He has a principal in this case. dont forget he is a junior minister
