You only supported atiku because peter Obi was his running mate.

My male bestie confided this in me too. He is also a Nairalander.



I run a sharwama and agent bank outlet for over 3 years and it’s been a good business experience for me expect trust issues with my sales Girl. I have sacked over 6 girls in space of 2 years for attitude and fraud related cases.

One of the days when I have to stay at the shop because my sales girl did not come to work, a young lady walked in with her CV. She said she saw my vacancy outside, I collected her CV and went through it. She is a 22 years old ND holder who studies communication.

I asked her why she would not return to get her HND. She replied that she wants to continue at the National open university where she can work and learn.
I have her 1 week trial and that is the beginning of good things in my business.

She is so consistent, All customers I mean all of them always leave a good remark about her and why they keep coming back. When ever I return from my office to the shop, I notice how people keep giving her tips and she declares it everyday but I don’t collect it from her. Sometimes she makes up to 5K daily in tips.

Fast forward 1 year, I have taken another shop and expanded my business. I cannot remember the last time we recorded shortage in the shop. My business has become so profitable that Am thinking of quiting my job to expand the business as my salary is like 20% of what the shop now makes for me.

To reward her, I picked interest in her education, I bought her the direct entry form at the open university and she has started.

These days I noticed she has suddenly changed towards me. She doesn't ask how my day was, she avoids me and don’t look into my face when we talk. I was really worried because I have grown fond of her. I have admired her as a lady but I maintained a professional relationship.

There are times I want to ask her to follow me to events and outings but I keep controlling my urge. She called that her mum was sick so she would not be available. I decided to surprise her by paying her a visit, she could not believe her eyes when she saw me at her door step with a bag of provisions in my hand. I greeted the mum. The woman prayed for me a lot before I took my leave.

On getting home, I could not understand myself anymore. My experience at her home further boost her interest in my heart. I could not sleep that night so I picked my phone to chat with a random friend online. I saw Lucy was online too. So I called her at about 12:30 am. I asked her why she is not asleep. She said she has an emotional support that has been bothering her for days. I tried to convince her to tell me but she declined, I figured it’s about a guy although I never saw her with a guy or call one at work.

I told her I was worried too and she is the cause. I told her how she has been of immense blessing to my life and how I wish she would play a bigger role in my life. She went silent. She later hung up and turned her phone off.

She called in the morning to apologize for cutting the call. By evening, I was back at the shop. I opted to drive her home but she refused. This was very unlike her so I insisted. As we approached her neighborhood,I parked under a roadside tree. I asked her to open up to me what the issue with her was.

To my greatest shock, Lucy confesses that I was the cause of her issues. I went quiet for a while trying to figure out what she meant. I asked again how am I the cause, at this moment her eyes were laden with tears Lucy told me she could not stop thinking about me and can’t control herself around me. She said she is confused because the feeling she is having for me get her scared.

While I sat and steer at her, I knew I felt exactly THE same way for her. This time I was the quiet one. I just drove her home and back.

I am 29 and she is now 23 going to 24. I have a job and a good business. Why can’t I marry her.

She has helped me grow my business. She is adorable and well trained. I want to ask her to marry me any moment. I am strongly convinced that we can grow together and build a good business network.

What do you guys thing. Is this a wise move?

Jonscotin:
I have been praying for this cup to pass over me. I have lost appetite since two weeks now. Am just sad over everything. Maybe cos am too soft. I don't know why God created me this way. Sometimes I feel like questioning God over this issues

freeze001:
So because SE Governors have ordered herdsmen to bemore civilised in the 21st century by using modern, more effcient means of transpport it has become ejection from the SE? Why do we have to be yoked with these dumbos in the same country for heaven's sake? Simple English will be misunderstood and they start looking for what they did not keep!

Natoski5:
...





Court ordered for his release? Am PMB is still kiping him?
....and they say nobody is above the law?

Natoski5:
What is this again?... I tell people dat Nigeria as a whole needs renovation...so many issues, why buhari no go tire

dreamwords:
,
How can u possible say that I had no infections,
Don't repeat that again abeg,
I visited hospital many times
And many labs,,I
To the extent that the doctor became my friend
They were seeing the same thing,
One of my testis was swelling up as a result of the pain,
From scanty growth of stapg to moderate till those those this were all gone,
diffetent Antibiotics, oral ,veins and in the ass the infection was resistant to some drugs that was given me, because the symptoms was still coming after , , it wasn't easy then

dairykidd:
I used to think like u but then i realized the foolishness in it, the cowardice. It's not about money or land its a lot more than that. Its about preserving our lineage, fighting for our rights, securing the future, protecting our children and generational heritage, preserving what our great ancestors lived and died for... Running away to another man's country will not help us. Even if u eventually become nationalized there and your children do not know about their origin because u decided to keep it that way, believe it or not one day they will ask questions and begin to trace their steps back and if they do eventually only to find out they were marginalized due to certain events and inaction by their forefathers at a time in history which now leaves them no place because their tribe/ group has become insignificant.. Can u imagine how they would look at ur old broken tombstone ?

To justify the megawatts of hatred for Fulani cattle rearers that has enveloped and consumed their bitter souls, they say:

''Is cattle business government business? Is it not private business? Why is government interested in procuring land for the Fulani to rear their cattle?''

Let's take it from there and proceed as follows:

* Is airline business government business? Why are states and federal governments busy expending huge public funds in acquiring lands and building new airports and rehabilitating old ones for aeroplanes that are owned purely by private travel companies and rich, private individuals including pastors and bishops? Shouldn't they buy land and build airports for their aeroplanes?

* Is transport business government business? Or are all the cars, trucks, buses and vans that use Nigerian roads everyday owned by government? Why should government be busy spending hundreds of billions of naira building roads for vehicles that are mainly on private trips or for transporters that are making huge sums transporting travelers to various destinations? Shouldn't vehicle owners then raise money and build roads for their cars and travels?

* Is farming business government business? Why are both states and federal governments always busy procuring and distributing fertilizers and various other farm implements to farmers, sometimes for free and sometimes in heavily subsidized form? Shouldn't farmers who are mainly private entrepreneurs be left alone to source for everything they need for their farming business? Why should government interfere? For example, is rice farming not private business so much that the federal government gave rice farmers in Ebonyi, Kebbi and other states financial incentives to expand?

* Is commercial banking business government business? Why has the federal government been spending hundreds of billions of naira bailing out distressed banks in Nigeria since 2005 till date? Why not allow the private bank owners source for funds on their own and bailout their businesses? Why should government intervene with public funds in such a private business venture?

* Is going on religious pilgrimage both to Israel and Saudi Arabia not private business? Why are both states and federal governments often involved in the preparation and sponsorship of pilgrims to do something that is purely personal to the individuals?

* Are those private (mostly religious owned) universities not private businesses? Why have they been writing and seeking federal government financial assistance through TETFUND to enable them attain certain levels of competence? Why do they seek government subsidy on something the government had no input in its conception and development?

* Is shipping government business? Apart from owning and operating a Naval force with military style ships, all other ships are privately owned by wealthy businessmen and women, but why is government saddled with the responsibility of building dockyards or sea ports where ships and boats owned by wealthy folks berth and have their goods loaded or unloaded? Is this not an act of government subsidising the business interests of the rich?

* Is the acquisition of education not supposed to be the personal responsibility of individuals based on their personal interest and conviction, either of themselves as individuals or their families? So then, why has it always been the expectation and business of government to build and furnish schools as well as recruit and pay teachers? Is this not a heavy subsidization by government of what should have been the personal obligations of individuals or families? Is it also not subsidy of education by government when government awards and pays students and lecturers scholarships?

* Is small scale trading or even big scale trading the responsibility of government or private business? Why then should government give small scale traders little sums like 10,000 naira each to help them boost their little trades? Shouldn't the traders be allowed to source for their own funds to help them expand?

* Is buying and selling not private business interaction between a willing seller and a willing buyer? Then why is it always expected that governments at all levels should be the ones to build markets for private individuals who want to buy and sell commodities? Why should governments spend huge public funds to build and maintain markets that will be used by private individuals who are making money daily?

* Still on education, is it also not government subsidy when government spends tens of billions of naira to feed primary school kids across the country in order to boost school enrollment?

* Is film making and the entire movie industry, e.g. Nollywood, not private business? Then why did the federal government give them 3 billion naira in 2014 to boost their film making industry? Shouldn't they have been left to source for funds on their own to expand their film business?

* How about public hospitals? Why should government build hospitals for people who are sick? Isn't sickness and wellbeing a private matter, which requires the sick person or their family to seek medical treatment at their place of choice? And if government expends huge sums of public funds in servicing the health needs of sick citizens, how about citizens who hardly fall sick and have never ever visited any hospital for any personal health issue; are the rights of such citizens not infringed on, or are they not being financially marginalized? Shouldn't they then demand cash rebates from government, based on their fundamental human rights, for not using hospitals built with funds they have rights to?

* And finally, of all the things or services I have listed above, which are being financed by government, which of them are Fulani cattle rearers who roam the forests with their cows enjoying? Is it government that gives them the rains that always beat them in the jungles alongside their cattle, or is it government that feeds them with the fruits and other lean meals they largely depend on in jungles and forests? Just what exactly is the larger society giving them by way of services? Are there even hospitals in the bushes, along their grazing routes specifically dedicated to them?

Yet, some supposedly educated persons and even religious leaders are questioning and opposing the development of either cattle ranches or cattle colonies or grazing routes or even settlement camps for the Fulani cattle rearers for easy monitoring by the federal government on the ridiculously shameless grounds that it involves government funding? How long, how strong and how deep the Devil has been controlling certain persons is clearly unfolding, and it's a shame.

Fact is, anyone or any group that keeps opposing any effort to solve the so called Farmers/Herders clashes must be benefitting materially or politically from the crisis. Of course, there are those who always dupe foreign donors by lying to them that the Farmers/Herders clashes is some agenda of religious persecution by a section of the country. Such persons and groups will not want the problem solved, for solving it will deny them two things: (1.) Loss of a propaganda tool that portrays them as victims of a bloody conspiracy, and (2.) loss of opportunities to keep receiving financial grants from foreign donors who aid ''victims of religious discrimination and persecution'' worldwide.

All over the world, there are people who see crisis as business and profit opportunities. Therefore, they will either stoke it or inflame it even if it was stoked by others.

BlacSmit:
I hope IPOB is not trying to subdue us with fear?
The other day they said "Fulani herdsmen has overrun some Communities in Imo" I personally went there after blasting Imo people online for failing to stand up for themselves. And then, I saw no Fulani in the area. Again, three days back they said some persons in Okija uncovered large cache of guns when the went to collect firewood. Been close to the area, I quickly verified and it was all false alarm.

Today they are accusing the government of selling out to the Fulani terrorists. What's their point exactly? They want us the continue living in fear?

deomelo:
The FG and even the states cannot set up any program or business with government money and confine participation strictly to that locality or indigenous, that's discrimination and against the Nigerian constitution. It is illegal so that's totally out of the question, but you are free to show us where such was done in any state or at the federal level.

Lagos state cannot establish a business with state funds that other people pay into via taxes and say the only indigenes are allowed to participate or benefit from.

NLTP/RUGA is an open program for every Nigerian and investors from anywhere to participate in, if you are a pig farmer, a goat farmer, ostrich farmer, whatever kind of animal farmer you are, the program is open for all, not just herders.


People just don't read, they follow and consume distorted info, rumors and anti-government sentiments.

Nigeria should start by sponsoring those Anambra students that won international tech competitiions last year.

Those students can be helped to form startups that would put Nigeria on the global tech map and bring us foreign exchange.
