What area of the body was it, Goddamn it! Nigerians keep parroting things they have no idea on. This reminds me of Goldie’s death where everyone kept typing “deep vein thrombosis” without mentioning what area it affected. We claim the masses are educated yet act no different from illiterates.


It’s not like she has a choice anymore. I hope she wasn’t a housewife because na that one worse pass. Ordinary opening a shop for a wife can set her up to continuing one’s business after his passing. Housewives are lazy scum.

The bolded of your comment has vindicated mine.

what exactly did he tell you

President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated the commitment of his administration to continue to prioritise the implementation of policies and programmes that would help to tackle problems affecting Niger Deltans and make life more meaningful to them.

President Buhari gave the assurance weekend while commissioning and handing over of the Erosion control and road improvement works to Ondo State Government, at the project site in Owo LGA of Ondo State.

Buhari, who was represented by the Hon. Minister of State, Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, Sen. Omotayo Alasoadura, noted that the Erosion Control of Flooded Area/Road project was one of the Ecological Intervention Projects approved and executed by the Federal Government through the Ecological Fund Office, in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), for the good people of Owo and its environs.

According to him, “The implementation of the project underscores my Administration’s efforts to continue carrying out genuine government policies and as a testimony to ensure that no part of the country would be neglected owing to its geographical location or political consideration”.

“The completion of this project shows my determination and sincerity of purpose in tackling problems affecting its citizens and making life more meaningful to the people,” he added.

Speaking further, President Buhari commended the efforts and all those that have been involved in the process, noting that the completion of the project would bring huge relief to the community which for a very long time has been affected by ecological challenges.

While urging the people to take advantage of the usefulness of the project, Mr President admonished the people of the area to cherish the laudable project by preventing indiscriminate dumping of refuse in drainage channels.

In his remarks, the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, highlighted the devastating effects of erosion and flooding on the people. He said flooding in the area had caused Pollution, the decline in agricultural output and untimely death of many children in the past, but the timely intervention and completion of the erosion and road work by the Federal Government has changed the situation.

Akeredolu who commended the efforts of the Federal Government and all stakeholders said the state government is equipping the State Ministry of the Environment with the necessary tools to do the needful in this regard.

He said three thousand kilometres (3000km) of flood-prone areas have been channelized and concrete standardization of major towns roads have been completed to correct the situation in other areas of the state.

The Governor was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Princess Oladunni Odu.

Earlier in his welcome address the Permanent Secretary, Ecological Fund Office, Abuja, Dr Habiba Lawal, who was represented at the occasion noted that the Erosion control work was initiated by the late, Imperial Majesty Oba (Dr.) David Folagbade Olateru Olagbegi III (CFR) in order to arrest the continuous erosion, flooding and other ecological challenges in Owo town and its environs to avoid further environmental degradation, loss of lives and properties.

The commissioning and handing over of the project to the community is to enable the host community to take over and exercise ownership, to ensure its maintenance and sustainability so that resources committed by the government would not be a waste.

In his remarks, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye lll, the Olowo of Owo Kingdom said they are happy to have witnessed the beginning and completion of the project and conveyed the appreciation of the people of Owo to the Federal government.

He urged the government to see the project as a work in progress and appealed that, action be taken to ensure the commencement of the second phase of the project which should not be delayed because it is only when this is done that the benefit of the work can fully be realized.

True that TB Joshua was diabolic, and I have no apologies for saying that, the good works he did and his outward attitude makes it almost impossible for even some elect not to be deceived.

I believe that church leaders like Oyedepo would be better off if they could emulate that good part.

God bless.

Except the holy Spirit reveals, you have no right to call him diabolic

zoedew:
As usual, Daddy Freeze speaks ignorantly. Pastors whose eyes have not become dim in the spirit will avoid being contaminated by the spiritual murk raked up the infamy the deceased stood for while alive. Unknown to many who think the kingdom of God is about food the deceased was evil while alive! When researchers begin to uncover the spiritual rot and immorality in that graveyard known as SCOAN one is in the hope that the taken folks will take off or drown in the ensuing morass!

what do you know that we don't know

THE Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, yesterday debunked the popular notion that the general overseer/founder of the church, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua also known as TB Joshua recent death may have come as untimely event.
One of the late founder disciples, David Joseph who spoke on behalf of the church said this while encouraging the members during the burial thanksgiving service, held at the SCOAN premises in Ikotun, Lagos.
Playing videos of last moments of the late Joshua, Joseph said the late Prophet prophecied about his death and that he fulfillled destiny. He added that the church’s best is yet to come.
In his words: “I want to tell you that the death of Senior Prophet Temitope Joshua is not an untimely one and the church’s best is yet to come. Let us leave our lives daily as if it’s our last day on earth.
“The greatest way to live your life is to do something that will outlive you” he said. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/07/tb-joshuas-death-not-untimely-scoan/

Aya Stark is my favorite character follow by Tyrion,

Tyrion played by Peter Dinklage is the best character for me.

Senator representing Southern Borno, Mohammed Ali
Ndume, has donated N40 million in support of
empowering thousands of traders, farmers and
students.

Ndume, who is the Chairman Senate Committee on
Army, also distributed 10 trucks of fertilizers and
three trucks of improved maize seed varieties to
farmers across the nine local government areas to
boost farming activities in his senatorial district.

Flagging off the distribution ceremony at Biu town, the
deputy governor, Umar Usman Kadafur commended
the senator for his selfless and relentless efforts geared
towards promoting women and youth attain economic
self reliance in the society.

Kadafur expressed optimistic that such humanitarian
gesture would go a long way in the ongoing post-
insurgency recovery process that would lead to jobs
creation and other services for the well being of the
people in the state.

He, therefore, urged the beneficiaries to be passionate
in putting the items into proper use and see it as an
opportunity to climb an enviable level of prosperity.

In his address, Senator Ndume said it was not the first
time he was presenting such gesture, but it is an
annual tradition, in addition to several people-oriented
projects such as construction of classroom blocks,
clinics, drilling of boreholes, installation of solar-
powered streets light among other constituency
projects in line with his electioneering campaign
promises.

“The empowerment programmes, which is in six
categories comprised of farmers, students, women,
youth and other vulnerable groups in the
constituency,” he added.

He said, “Today’s ceremony is the empowerment of
1,000 farmers with five trucks of fertilizers and two
trucks of maize seeds improved varieties, while
another group of young farmers would be presented
and empowered with 3 trucks of fertilizers and one
truck of maize seeds.

“1,000 traders are to be presented with N10 million
cheque. Likewise, 1,000 students are to receive
N10million cheque to support them in their
educational pursuit, while another 1,000 women
groups would go home with N10 million cheque.
“As well, 1,000 youths would receive N10 million
cheque. This means every beneficiary will get N10,000
each,” Ndume said.

He, however, urged the beneficiaries to make
maximum use of the opportunity in order to become
self-reliant and sustained their businesses improve
their livelihood.

In their separate good will messages the
representatives of Emir’s of Biu and Shani commended
senator Ali Ndume for the empowerment initiatives,
which according to them would go a long way in
alleviating the economic harship amongst their
subjects.

Also speaking on behalf of the benefiting local
governments, the executive Chairman Kwaya Kusar
local government, Mr Samson Dibal thanked the
senator for the timely intervention and assures
judicious distribution of the items to the beneficiaries.

Governors of the Southern States of Nigeria on
Monday met in Lagos, and after over three hours of
closed doors session, unanimously again agree that
there is no going back on the ban on open grazing law
in the region.

The Governors, also, reiterated the call for true
federalism and devolution of powers to states.
Governor, Ondo State and Chairman, Southern
Governors’ Forum, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN,
stated these among others while reading communique
issues at end of the meeting of the Southern
Governors of Nigeria, held at the State House, Alausa,
Ikeja.

Governors present include: Delta-Ifeayin Okowa,
Rivers-Nyensom Wike, Ogun-Dapo Abiodun, Lagos
State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Osun-Gboyega Oyetola,
Akwa Ibom- Emmanuel Udom, Ekiti Kayode Fayemi,
Bayelsa-Douye Diri, Oyo- Seyi Makinde, Enugu –
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi

Represented, include: Edo, deputy Governor, Philip
Shuaibu, Imo Deputy Governor, Placid Njokwu, Abia
State, Oko Chukwu, Eboyin, Kelechi Igwe
While those absent are: Anambra and the Anambra
States.

The Governors, in a communique at the end of the
meeting read by Akeredolu, at about 4 pm, resolved:

“The Southern Governors Forum at the end of the
meeting held on Monday, 5th July 2021 reviewed the
situation in the Country and focused on the current
security situation, constitutional amendment,
Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).

“Rising from the meeting, the Forum agreed on the
following: Re-affirmed their commitment to the unity
of Nigeria on the pillars of equity, fairness, justice,
progress and peaceful co-existence between and
amongst its people.

“The Forum reiterates its commitment to the politics of
equity, fairness and unanimously agrees that the
presidency of Nigeria be rotated between Southern
and Northern Nigeria and resolved that the next
president of Nigeria should emerge from the Southern
Region.

“On security, the forum reviewed the security
situation in the country and commends security
operatives for their relentless efforts in restoring
security and safety and commiserates with families
and loved ones of those who have fallen in the line of
duty;

“Re-emphasised the need for State Police;
“Resolved that if for any reason security institutions
need to undertake an operation in any state, the Chief
Security Officer of the State must be duly informed.

“The forum frowns at selective criminal
administration of Justice and resolved that arrests
should be made within the ambit of the Law and
fundamental human rights; Set a timeline of
Wednesday, 1st September 2021 for the promulgation
of the anti-open grazing law in all Member States; and

“Resolved that Funds deducted from the Federation
Account for the Nigeria Police Security Trust Fund
should be distributed among the States and Federal
Government to combat security challenges.

Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) Law: The Forum
commends the National Assembly for the progress
made in the passage of the PIB.

The Forum rejects the proposed 3% and supports the
5% share of the oil revenue to the host community as
recommended by the House of Representatives.

“The forum also rejects the proposed 30 per cent
share of profit for the exploration of oil and gas in the
basins.

“However, the forum rejects the ownership structure
of the proposed Nigeria National Petroleum Company
Limited (NNPC). The Forum disagrees that the
company be vested in the Federal Ministry of Finance
but should be held in trust by Nigeria Sovereign
Investment Authority (NSIA) since all tiers of
Government have stakes in that vehicle.

“In order to consolidate our democracy and
strengthen the Electoral process, the Southern
Governors’ Forum rejects the removal of the
Electronic transmission of the election result from the
electoral act; and also rejects the confirmation of
exclusive jurisdiction in pre-election matters on the
Federal High Court.

“The Forum unanimously chose Lagos State as its
permanent secretariat and appreciated the Governor
of Lagos State for the wonderful hosting of this
meeting while commending him for his good work in
the State.”

LEGAL counsel to Yoruba activist, Chief Sunday
Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, Chief
Yomi Alliyu SAN, Sunday, sued the Department of
State Service, DSS, for attacking and damaging his
house, alleging that the DSS operatives went with the
intent not to arrest but kill him.

This came on a day Lagos Police Command said 49
persons, including suspected leader of Ogboni
confraternity and a female Osun worshipper, simply
identified as Yeye, were arrested during the botched
Oodua Republic Mega rally at the Gani Fawehinmi
Freedom Park, Ojota, Lagos.

The Police said dangerous weapons such as arms,
ammunition, axes, cutlasses and charms were
recovered from the suspects.

But organizers of the rally, Ilana Omo Oodua, IOO,
called for the unconditional release of the arrested
protesters, insisting that none of the protesters was
armed.

FG trying to kill me —Igboho

Sunday Igboho’s counsel, Chief Alliyu, in a statement,
described the invasion as illegal and unconstitutional,
adding that the accusations leveled against his client
were false.

He also urged the Federal Government to probe the
invasion, to sanction the DSS operatives, free all the
people arrested and also demanded the payment of
N500 million to Igboho as compensation for the
damage to his exotic cars, including a Mercedes Benz
G-Class and 2019 Lexus car, among others.

The statement read: “We are counsel to Chief Sunday
Adeyemo (otherwise known as Sunday Igboho Oosa)
and we have his standing instructions to defend and
act as his counsel in all situations we deem
appropriate, especially where his fundamental rights
as a citizen of Nigeria is violated or threatened, as
done on Thursday, 1 July 2021.

“Every Nigerian, albeit the whole world, is aware that
in his open crusade for the establishment of Oodua
Republic, our client has always preached peace and
warned his followers never to have recourse to
violence, saying that ‘it is God and alale’ that will fight
for the Yoruba Nation.

“We can boldly say that, as people who followed his
campaign, but not necessarily supporting
dismemberment of Nigeria, no casualty has ever
occurred wherever such rallies were carried out. This
must have been done in more than 20 Yoruba towns
and cities, as of date.

“It must be reiterated, and with emphasis that it is the
right of a group of homogeneous and/or indigenous
people in a federation to ask for self-determination,
following the rules of international law and UNO
Charter.

“We were reliably informed that the DSS and other
security forces invaded the residence of our client in
wee hours of the day (between 1.00hr and 4.30hrs).

“There is nowhere in civilised world that a citizen,
who had no prior invitation by security agent or
resisting arrest, will be so invaded with his rights to
dignity of human persons, ownership of property and
sanctity of life trampled upon during the invasion.

“No demand to enter was made but rather, they shot
their way into the house, allegedly killing seven
people, though DSS spokesman admitted killing two
people which involved an old imam that used to lead
Muslim occupants in prayers and observing TAHJUD at
the time of the barbaric raid.

“A lady among the invaders was allegedly shouting, ‘if
you get him, gun him down.’ There and then our
client knew that the mission was to get rid of him and
not to arrest him.

“This belief becomes more realistic because the CCTV
recorder was off and taken away so that the carnage
will not be shown to members of the public. Our client
then knew that he was to be taking dead or alive as
allegedly stated by the lady among the raiders.

“It should be stated that without any resistance or
shooting at the security operatives, they started
shooting from the gate, ensuring that the building was
made uninhabitable. Also, all the expensive vehicles in
our client’ house were shot at and destroyed.

“The rampaging operatives were disappointed that
they could allegedly not find a single gun or
ammunition in our client’s house, hence they arrested
two police escorts of Mr. Igboho’s guests.

“(They) added their (the two police escorts) guns to
those harvested from their armoury to make members
of the public believe that our client keeps militia, or as
stated by them, he is about waging war on Nigeria.

“Will this be with his mere amulets? People who know
our client for over 20 years will testify that Igboho
Oosa does not carry a gun on his person
“It is elementary law that whenever a search warrant
is executed on a house the house owner must first
search the persons sent to execute same and also sign
the inventory of what was recovered in executing the
warrant.

“This explains why the DSS invaded the house in the
night, shooting everything at sight, killing and
maiming the occupants to plant their illegal guns on
our client.

“We have also been reliably informed that those
arrested were being tortured to incriminate our client
that guns and ammunition were recovered from his
house.

“Sunday Igboho knew that he would be arrested one
day hence retaining our services. He could not be that
daft to keep incriminating articles in his house.

“Our client’s house is a five-bedroom duplex with five
chalets of two and three bedrooms. These were
damaged with operatives allegedly arguing on
whether to burn down the edifice as done to his
former palatial house. The lady officer allegedly put
her foot down against arson.

“€1000, N2 million, expensive jewellery worth
millions, travel documents, amulets, iPhone 12
belonging to him, phones of about 15 others living in
the house, including those killed by the raiders and
other belongings yet to be identified belonging to his
wives were carted away. The only guns were those of
the police escorts of his guests.

“More importantly, the DSS and other operatives that
raided the house said they came to arrest Sunday
Igboho but ended up arresting innocent people instead
of him.

“Apart from being a serious violation of these peoples’
constitutional rights, it is an assault on Section 7 of
ACJA and decisions of our courts in that regard.

FG must probe DSS operatives involved in attack
“We, hereby, demand that the Federal Government
orders an investigation into the actions of the various
security operatives, led by DSS, that raided Chief
Adeyemo’s house to sanction them and release all the
innocent people arrested and compensate the families
of those murdered.

“Our client should also be paid N500million as
reparation for damage to his exotic cars that include
Mercedes Benz G-Class and 2019 Lexus Car. We also
demand a public apology.

“Most importantly, trampling of our client’s
fundamental rights, including tagging him as criminal
by exhibiting DSS guns as his should stop forthwith.”

Yoruba won’t be intimidated, says Kiriji Heritage
Defenders

Reacting to the invasion of Sunday Adeyemo’s house,
the Kiriji Heritage Defenders, insisted that Yoruba
people will not be intimidated from seeking freedom
for the Yoruba nation.

The group during the investiture ceremony of Alebiosu
Kalaowo as the generalissimo of its security arm at the
Kiriji war forest, Imesi-Ile, Osun State, at the weekend,
disclosed that it remained committed to realising an
independent Yoruba nation.

Speaking after his investiture, Kalaowo, said: “I am
using this medium to tell the world that despite the
attack on Sunday Igboho, we will not rest on our oars
to ensure that the Yoruba nation is free from slavery
from whomever and in whatever form.

“We are, hereby, giving anyone, whether Fulani, Igbo,
Yoruba and other ethnic groups one month to comply
with the ban on open grazing law in the region after
which it will become illegal to feed animals on farms.

”We will no longer condone the raping of women and
killings of farmers by violent herdsmen, making it
impossible for farmers’ activities to thrive.

“We are not working in isolation, but collaborating
with other Yoruba groups to ensure that the Yoruba
nation is liberated from the menace of violent
herdsmen and banish those lurking around our
borders with evil intent.”

Igboho should surrender himself —Olowu-Kuta

But on his part, the Olowu of Owu-Kuta in Osun State,
Oba Adekunle Makama, urged the Yoruba activist to
surrender himself to the Federal Government rather
than be hunted like his IPOB counterpart, Nnamdi
Kanu.

Oba Makama, who addressed newsmen at his palace
in Kuta, said: “Well, government all over the world
treats separatists as enemies of the state and as a
believer in the corporate existence of the Nigerian
state; I do not expect anything less.

”I would rather advise Igboho to surrender himself to
the government which will even earn him sympathy
than to sit until he is hunted.”

Yoruba Nation rally: Police arrest 49 suspects

Meanwhile, while parading the suspects arrested
during the Lagos rally organised by Yoruba Nation
agitators at the command headquarters, yesterday, the
Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, said the
suspects posed a threat to the security of the state
Odumosu said: “On Saturday, July 3, 2021, despite
warnings and security explanations given to
organizers of the rally to forestall breakdown of law
and orders in Lagos State, certain individuals came
into the state to foment troubles under the guise of the
said mega rally
” In curtailing their activities that portend threat to the
security of the state, the command arrested 49
suspects.

“They include Bamidele Akomolafe, 52; Dauda
Abubakare, 25; Adebanjo Adedajo, 42; Lawal Akeem,
21; Abdulsemiu Akanbi, 43; Emmanuel Chidiemere,
27; Taofeek Abdulsalami, 25; Adesina Ibrahim, 33 and
Adeyemi Segun, 22 and 39 others.

“Items recovered from them include one pump action
rifle, two locally made pistols, four live cartridges, one
expended cartridge and stickers with the inscription
‘Oodua Armed Forces.

“Also recovered were one Opel car with registration
number FFF 921, one unregistered Toyota 4 Runner
SUV, one Honda car with registration number SMK
248 FC, one Nissan pathfinder SUV with registration
number ABJ 348 DB, One Suzuki minibus with plate
number LSR980 YC, one beaded crown, one beaded
walking stick, a white box containing assorted charms,
some Oodua flags and banners, clothes and caps with
Oodua Nation inscriptions, some voodoo charm
jackets, one traditional calabash containing weeds
suspected to be Indian hemp, some mobile phones,
clothes, two axes.

“In summary, a total of six arms, 18 7.62mm
ammunition, 19 live cartridges and one expended
cartridge were recovered.”

The Police boss, however, insisted that information at
the command’s disposal was that the protesters were
out to cause unrest in several parts of the state.

Odumosu said: “Coupled with the conduct of the so-
called agitators and others that despite repeated
warnings from the command and the Lagos State
government, trooped out for the planned rally, one
could easily infer that they were not in Lagos state for
a rally but another mission geared towards
destabilizing the state.”

The suspects, according to him, will be handed over to
the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID,
Yaba, for discreet investigation and possible
prosecution.

Protesters weren’t armed, Ilana Omo Oodua insists
But in its reaction, organizers of the Yoruba Nation
rally, Ilana Omo Oodua, disagreed, insisting that no
participant at the rally was armed.
It also called for the unconditional release of those
arrested during the rally.

IOO’s Media Communications Secretary, Mr. Maxwell
Adeleye, said: “We approached the Police that they
should come and protect us so that the rally will not
be hijacked. We went to the rally ground peacefully
and law-abiding. We were not unruly.

“We met the Police at the rally ground and told them
that we were for peace but they started raining bullets
at us. Whatever the Police said is a lie.

“The Police did not say those arrested committed any
crime but that they violated an order that nobody
should any rally in Lagos.

“We have a track record of peaceful assembly. The
Police have paraded them that they are criminals. If
they want to take them to the court, fine; but we wish
to engage them in the court. We are calling for the
unconditional release of these protesters.”

Police action unacceptable—Ijaw leader

Also, the Coordinator of the Ijaw Monitoring Group,
IMG, Comrade Joseph Evah, berated the Police for
tear-gassing those who participated in the Yoruba
Nation rally in Lagos, saying such action was
unacceptable.

Reacting to the action, Evah said the action of the
Police should be condemned.

The Ijaw leader said: “We, the Ijaw Monitoring Group,
condemn the action of the Police who tear-gassed
peaceful protesters in Lagos.

”Peaceful protest is recognised under the 1999
Constitution and United Nations charter. The action of
the Police was unruly, they are meant to protect
innocent citizens and not attack them, they also
injured elderly people who participated in the protest.

”The police need to apologise for their unruly
behaviour because if this is allowed, no one will be
allowed to organise any peaceful protest.

”What the Police did in Lagos is unacceptable and we
are condemning it. We also want the whole world to
know what happened because those who participated
in the rally were peaceful.

”It should be known that it was the police that caused
the confusion that led to the injuries recorded in the
Lagos rally. If we don’t condemn this, nobody will be
allowed to assemble in Nigeria. This is against
international law.”

Mother of lady killed by stray bullet cries for justice
Meanwhile, Mrs. Ifeoluwa Adeeko, the mother of the
lady purportedly killed by a Police stray bullet during
Saturday’s Yoruba Nation rally in Lagos, has insisted
that it was stray bullet by the police that killed her
daughter and cried for justice to be done in the case.

The victim, simply identified as Jumoke Muriana, was
allegedly killed by a stray bullet when policemen fired
gunshots to disperse the crowd that gathered for the
rally. But the police denied any involvement in
Jumoke’s death.

The mother wept uncontrollably at the sight of the
lifeless body of her daughter.

Amid tears, Mrs. Adeeko said her daughter was 25
years, contrary to earlier reported 14 years in the
media.

She said: “I want justice in this case; my daughter was
killed by a stray bullet. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu
should come to my rescue and ensure justice for the
killing of my daughter by the police.”

However, it was gathered that human rights lawyers
and activists have begun process to take the police up
on the murder

bro you don watch too much blacked.com

mariahAngel:
All I can say is that correcting you will not be necessary.

No offence miss. Its just my view about you. I may be wrong tho

SPY KIDS 8/10
I enjoyed myself.

pocohantas:
If the man is responsible and was involved in their welfare, it would be easier. Not the ones that would go dump them with grandma in the village. Anyway, apart from maternal instincts, I have noticed Nigerian mothers like to put themselves through some unnecessary suffer. Maybe it helps them with the emotional blackmail (after all I did for you). As far as the man is responsible and has the means, I will leave the kids for him!

Madam, Children are best raised and nurtured by the mother. Fathers hardly have time.

lovelybugs:
As nice as this sounds, a lot of men can't be trusted with their own kids. They'll end up dumping them at relatives homes as unpaid house boys and girls, to be molested by whoever pleases. A mother who loves her children would never leave them to go through that. That's why most women are at a disadvantage. Na who care pass dey loose for marriage matter.

Not me. I'm going to be a responsible father

mariahAngel:
What I have come to understand and made peace with is the not all women will be alphas, just like not all males are alphas.

Omg! A guy just created a thread on romance section asking if there's anything wrong in calling his married ex to come cook for him! Omg!
The lady not only agreed, she also went with him to the market to buy the ingredients!

I swear, I'm so pissed right now!

So which (Alpha female or beta female) do you aspire to be? Cos i see you as a fierce character, (correct me if i'm wrong) never ready to back down. Always strict and strong headed.

No wonder we have so many second hand chicks around. Lalasticlala

Queeneth Hilbert is one of Nollywood’s delectable
actresses who doesn’t take prisoners when it comes to
brandishing her beauty on social media. Recently, the
half-Nigerian, half-Lebanese beauty has been serving
hot pictures of herself on Instagram with captions to
whet all sorts of sensibilities while also in some cases
dishing out motivational messages.

But the one that really caught the attention of
Potpourri is the actress’ open challenge to any man
who desires her to come forth and express his
feelings.

“If you are crushing on me and you are not saying it,
my dear you are playing with grace,” she posted.
Queeneth knows she’s beautiful and doesn’t seem to
care whether you validate it or not, she’s confidently
living her world of beauty and God’s grace.

“Love yourself unconditionally, a kind of love that
doesn’t ask the outside world to confirm validity. The
way people talk about Queeneth being beautiful
doesn’t even occur to me. I don’t see myself as such.

All my life people never stopped telling me I am
beautiful,” says in a chat with Potpourri.

Queeneth Hilbert started out as a model as a mere
child but took to acting officially in 2012.

Quality20:
just travel to sokoto, northwest of d country. There u gonna even be tired of choosing virgin girls, but d only problem is that they are not so fluent in English.

sokoto here I come.

ifytrik:
Body count must be less than 3? Nomber of body count doesn't always determine the size of the vigina, there are girls that 4k like dog, they may not date somany guys but the once they date will have to 4k them everyday, such girls may not have upto 3 bodycount but will still have a very wide pus*y. My advice for you is forget about bodycount, just make sure you taste before buying, date her first and see if her hole can grip your johnthomas the way you want. SHIKENA!

its all about the pussycount

apatheticme:
Only an insecure man (which most Nigerian men are anyway) will have issues with his wife/girl being able to solve basic problems or face basic challenges without always calling for help!

It is this same reason that makes most Nigerian men scared of their wives being high fliers, achievers and career driven!

Only a woman raised with Inferiority complex and a poor sense of self worth will keep waiting for a man before she can do anything.

Personally, my hubby even prefers me dealing with our mechanic for instance, because I get better results plus cheaper prices. They see him as a big man, so whenever he wants to fix anything, they bill him. Something of #7500 for instance maybe brake pad for one leg, they'll tell him 20k. But if na me, I'll go buy the stuff myself and supervise them sef. Hubby doesn't have that much time, besides he's so cool with delegating duties! So even his own car, I take it for fixing, servicing anything. We'll just exchange cars if need be.

I remember when we were still doing our building project, many tasks that I was the one who handled it, many things I was the one in charge. Infact there were days I'll be the one to go to site and supervise/coordinate workers - mason man, plumber, electrician, carpenters etc.

Infact hubby never bought a single plumbing material! From pipes, to GP Tanks, to submersible pump for borehole, I was the one who bought everything, and they were top notch at good prices! I only took the plumber along and coordinated everything!

Whatever we're doing at home, hubby believes in doing it together, including both of us working on our PhD together currently! I could go on and on.

God knows I've got no freaking business with an insecure man, that will tell you don't do this, or don't touch this. I'm amazed when I see some women that would even say their hubby don't allow them drive, I'm like wtf!

Caveat:
I know some Broke ass wimps aka Red Pillers would soon come and tag my hubby a simp for making the home a place of growth and progress, but he's way more Alpha than they could ever be all their lives! Alpha is not subjugation of women, neither is it misogyny, unfortunately these retards can't see beyond their noses!

I'll rather be single than be with a man who limits my potentials or sees me as an object to be used and discarded! I rest my case.

Super woman

Shokoloko:
What an interesting novel.
Captivating and descriptive

Along with an exam for a marriage and procreation license.

Just as one should not drive without lessons and a test, so should one not be allowed to procreate without a procreation license to indicate competence, in my opinion.

In the future sometime, hopefully, when this generation runs things.

That's violation of my fundamental human rights. We are humans not dummies.
