On a lighter note, if fcuuuking his ashewo sister inlaw will make him work harder for Enugu, please let Chime carry go. Nothing do am (na man's nature call him answer ). In 2015 he leaves office and deal with his private mess.[/quote]In the meantime - assuming the allegation has any truth to it - it would not surprise me if state funds are being used to support the baby mother.

Your logic is a bit warped with moveable goalposts.  Sleeping with a woman not your wife is  ok if you are of that moral persuasion, but not all men subscribe to that view.  Even then, having an affair and impregnating someone whilst  you are being unfaithful are very different.  Just because a whole bunch of public officers in Nigeria did it and spawned diverse children from various women doesn't make it right.  

If these people cannot be responsible in their personal life, how can one expect them to act responsibly in their public life?  You forget that, while Bill Clinton and Vladimir Putin had (alleged) affairs, there was not a child from the union(s).  THAT'S the big difference between them and Gov. Chime.

@ Seun - drat, or, a challenge for the NL programmers!

Na wao some women get  power oh see as the woman in the video beat up her hubby the man sef no try lol 

Seen this before years ago.  I don't condone this kind of thing in any way but that man can't hit a stationary target.  If this was a match, if she didn't win on a TKO, she would have won on points alone     

@ Ladilgs - your sister needs to move as far away from this man as possible.  He simply has an abusive sex addiction.

Remember your sister has daughters, your nieces.  She needs to remove them from that kind of damaging behaviour.

But if she does not act now, and you all aware of his behaviour, the situation will get worse and he will take greater risks.  The fact that the  most recent assault you're aware of happened in the family home tells you he no longer cares or respects his family life.

Here you go Seun, to help you out:

Must we insult to press home our point. There is no difference between you and those that you are insulting because, your insulting them shows the level of eduaction you attained. Everybody will get their pp back once they are retrieved by NAPTIP. I dont need to say much, but let mind our utterances.

I would have thought you should have realised it is a Nigerian thing to insult, whether it is deserved or not. It's rampant on NL, this thread is no different.

It's got nothing to do with education level I'm afraid. People will always default to insults because that is how they're used to communicating.

@ All,

For the people that think that I should have come on this forum to warn POEPLE before the whole scam thing. I am sorry! And I mean it. I have gained alot from this forum nairaland, I  got my first job through this forum back then in Nigeria. I am in Canada, winnipeg Manitoba today because of this forum, things I gained from tha canadaian travel thread, great guys I meet on that thread, great knowlege that can never be taken from me again, a thread  that was started by a Leo in 2005. And when I think I should have given back due to this to this  forum I did not, because I rarely come on this forum thisdays. So I did not know when the whole CS things started, I only came in when guys have being scammed. I would have warn guys about it, and I think, maybe (!) just maybe people would have listen me,  owing to the fact that they promise them work in Manitoba Hydro, where I once worked  as an Intern Engineer. I am sorry guys. I think you guys have to move foward!

My anger, is why are they still keeping poeple pasport, that is very unfair,

Any accusations towards you are misguided.  There is more than enough information out there about applying for a visa to Canada.  Those people who have applied and feel that they were misguided simply didn't do their homework properly.  They chose to ignore the advice and information given and now are looking for a scapegoat. 

You should not be scapegoated for someone else's mistake.  You haven't done anything wrong; any information you have put here has put things in perspective.

owobokiri:
OP must be one of those busybody Ghanaians we rightly sent packing some years back with their GMG bags. Talkative. Nobody is coming to 9ja for any holidays. He is just trying to remind us that our custom official sabi emberass themselves at the airports. Ghana with her 10,000 strong men in uniform no go keep quiet till Nigeria do una the same thing Iraq did to Kuwait. short people and their nyaka-nyaka head.

Hate to disappoint you but they do. They're other Nigerians

A return ticket is often cheaper than a one-way ticket.

Who are these women who ask men for recharge cards as if it is a God-given right? And who are these men who feel obligated to give it to them?

If the guy was a good friend, I would have no problem giving him a recharge card, but someone I haven't seen in years hitting me up for a recharge card and money? Hell no!

famowole:
no need for demontration. We have made photocopies of your visa page ready. Thanks for believing in our program. You better living is important to us. at Cs we treat like a king.

famowole:
Dear applicants,
your better living is important to us at CS. All bonifide applicants should be present at our corporate head office for their visa. Evidence of genuine registration is required. Thanks for patronage.

What proof should applicants bring of "genuine registration"?  How many applicants are "bonafide applicants" and how did they apply for the programme?

Crystal Services is supposed to have the contact details of all applicants.   Shouldn't Crystal Services be contacting THEM to come and collect their visas rather than the other way around?  Why announce they should come to collect their visa page on NL?

Please explain to me why applicants should pay N1.5 million to get their passports back.  What guarantee is there that they have been issued a visa?  I'm sure not all applicants were successful.  Have those passports been returned?

We've only heard one side of the story. The children are against the marriage. There is more to this than the wife supposedly abandoning him for 15 years.

marcmuzman:
Hey,

I am coming to Nigeria for vacation in a couple of days,  I am American and my Ghananian friends tell me too much bizarre stories about Lagos Airport customs,  Please tell me if I need the following :

[list]
[li] The Yellow Fever Vaccine  and the certificate
[/li] Money for bribes
[li] Naira in hand because I heard they want to take foreign currency like its illegal
[/li]
[/list]

You do not have to pay a bribe.  Because it is Nigeria it is not compulsory.

Only show your Yellow Fever certificate if asked for it. Mine has always been stapled in my passport so it's never an issue - might be an option.

You don't need Naira in hand - there are places in the airport to change currency.  Only if you're brave change it via the money changers outside - you may get a better rate but you could also be ripped off. I've seen it happen. I only carry enough to get a trolley (normally N200, but if you have $2, £2 or 2 Euros they will take it) and change money in the airport.

Nigeria is not that traumatising.  Enjoy your trip.

@ Tgirl4real,

Maybe I remember because of the wahala they gave us just so we would dash them something to book the date.  Plus I found the "counselling" hilarious.  Weddings are a money spinner for the LGs - if you're getting married  you must have money, correct?  And they must have a share   I spoke to a friend about it, she laughed and said they had to do the same in a different LGA when they got married  about 8 years ago.

@N101,
K. ,
men u r lucky oh. ,
I think it's an issue with d eMMC chip on d board
There's a thread on xda with same complaints
well guess that was a close shave
enjoy yr droid

Spent a whole day online trying to find a cure, even posted something on a forum but got no response. Was a close shave but I felt so lost without it - lost without a phone! Went to xda to look up similar problems, but they all worked on the premise the volume button functions.

Now I don't even put my hand anywhere near the volume button. Wonder who in Naija who could fix it for me if I ever developed a problem (God forbid!) Was checking out the HTC site to see if they had any resellers in Nigeria, the Africa page was "not found". Not very helpful.

Losing your job is not an excuse to cheat.
Losing your job is not an excuse to "violate" anyone.

Sorry is easy to say, what you do after proves it. As for this "Pastor says" thing, I don't get it and probably never will. Like CC said, if her friend said x she would have done it. If she was in her early 20s I would have said it was naive, but at 30? That's just plain silly.

It takes a degree of maturity in the face of difficulty to make a relationship work, and that seems to have been missing. The best thing to happen is that you have both gone your separate ways.

Still trying to tout the Barbados work permit thing eh?

Outstrip:
. The truth in what Johndoe is saying and I agree with is that Nigerian culture is born from a place of oppression and slavery. He has the mentality of a former slave that now owns his own slave.

You can't compare Nigeria under colonialism with slavery as it actually happened.

If that is the case, what about the Americas where slavery was a real day-to-day occurrence? By and large there are at least laws to protect women from this kind of behaviour there - or is that simply Western influence that made them aware certain types of behaviour are unacceptable?

all4naija:
Why do people here see marriage as all about sex? To me marriage is about responsibility and, must be thought out rightly before engaging in it!

Read carefully - it's not all about the sex, it's the fact that they can do it within the context of marriage and not feel guilty about it.

Marriage is a big responsibility as well.

lynxnoon:
sp what happened to your fone n which model was it?

I have the original Desire.  I travelled, switched my phone on at the destination, everything was fine.  My brother "borrowed" my phone as he's never seen or used an Android phone (has a Windows Phone).  He didn't do much with it apart from play around with the apps, try to beat my high score in Angry Birds and charging it via usb.

Next morning woke up, phone was fine, decided to restart it and walked away leaving it to do its thing.  When I got back, the phone was stuck in boot mode and stayed there. The volume up and down buttons wouldn't work, taking the battery out and putting it back in didn't work. I basically tried everything.

I contacted HTC and arranged for a collection on my return. Collected Monday afternoon, returned Wednesday morning in working order.  Someone elsewhere suggested there may have been a problem with the volume button, fortunately it was still under warranty.  Didn't find out from HTC what the problem was, just glad it's back working.

@ N101

lol 

Just do the girly thing letz see if it will work. _{but, u will be wasting your time if your husband is anything like mine} 

The girly thing? My sister, I had a former work colleague train me on the girly thing and it failed miserably (worked wonders for her - she's now got an iPhone 4! )

If you have any other girly tactics I could use, let me know _{(but I suspect our husbands might be related!)}

jaypee4r:
Nice idea, let more of this come in from other members,then we will get a solution soon . wish we can mobilize ourselves ASAP

collinsfbi:
In doing this, you guys do not really need all the applicants, even 10% will be to much because some will bring disagreement while some anger may lead them to CS properties demolition.

The CS applicants who want to mobilise need to be level headed and not allow emotions to get the better of them. Forget whatever monies were paid, the objective is to get your documents back, not cause a riot. All it takes is a group of level headed mature individuals to do this.

cexplorer:
No regret. Go single and get married again not leaving your home. START A FIGHT! Don't invite me o because your hubby might be my client!

I tried starting a fight but I don't think I was aggressive enough - I was ignored and it hurt! 

Your invite is on standby. . .

They are one and the same.  Court marriage is what they do in the US as far as I'm aware, cos we don't get married in court in Nigeria (correct me if I'm wrong someone?).  Most places usually have a registry department for this, but the court thing has spilled over into common usage.

The process is:

Go to your local LGA offices and apply to get married. You'll need passport photos and copies of your birth certificates.

Decide when you want to get married (of course this should be decided and agreed beforehand).   Some councils have certain days they will conduct weddings e.g. Thursday and Saturday.

You will be given a list of things that you have to provide in order for your marriage to take place.  This list is crucial, don't mess with it or your day is finished.  Our list included:

2 Ballpoint pens
2 boxes of biscuits (a specific brand was given)
2 bottles of non-alcoholic wine
1 packet of Tom Toms
1 packet of Toffee sweetie something


I'm sure there was other stuff but those are the ones I remembered. As far as they're concerned if you're getting married you can afford to provide these things, in addition to dashing them something so you can book the date you want.

If your LGA Registry are so inclined they will included a "counselling" session, which is basically a form filling exercise that both you and your fiance must attend. Mess up the forms, you pay approx. N2000 for a new one.  The above list must also be presented on the day of the "counselling".  In our case, they then give you a poster of "husband's obligations, wife's obligations" and take a photo of each couple biting a religious book. Don't ask, we never did it.  You'll have to pay for these two on the "counselling" day of course, even if you have paid for them beforehand.  And if they don't have enough of anything, don't pay for it cos you will never see it.

The wedding date, depending on how many of you are getting married on the day, is on a "first come first served" basis. Some registries may be organised to book you into a particular time slot but you know how it is with people of colour and time.   So if 5 couples are getting married, whoever arrives first, having completed their paperwork and produced their list items, will be cleared to get married.  The rest just need to wait around until their turn comes.

That is basically it.

Seun:
You don't have enough money to pay N50k for medical treatment, yet you want to have a baby. Oh la la.

I was thinking the same thing.

Johndoe100:
The last time I checked Muslims made up 55% of the population. Since it is LEGAL AND APPROVED for them to discipline their women, we are in the majority. Or do you think they kick against their sharia?

Look Internet Nigerians can not understand us, whenever they come back all they keep moaning about is "how do you people cope with this or that".  We are the way we are.

Last time I checked, everything done in the name of religion is not necessarily right. People may hide behind it, but religion does not give people a blank slate to do whatever they like or behave any how.  There is such a thing as responsibility, whether at an individual or corporate level.

No use labelling people, it doesn't make your point any more valid. Or do you think you are more Nigerian than others here because they don't agree with you?

ha sorry @n101 so we are both seekin admission into android varsity

I don get entry o Seriously, after the last disaster that had me without the phone for three weeks (thankfully it was still under warranty), I'm not even thinking of rooting it until I have a back-up phone.
