NobleAngell:
Poverty is in the mind my sister. Some people misunderstand this to mean physical cash. I personally don't want anything to do with someone who has poverty mentality. Even if you don't have physical cash but are rich in the mind, it's only a matter of time.

All these men that are pained by her comment, what's your deal? We're you planning to approach her?

Abi oh. People should know their level. How will a poor man see that high maintenance looking lady and decide to approach her. No be juju be that?

amerengues:
How can "take out" means to eat?! You people should not abuse the intelligence of people. It's a shame to spit this out.

We all know the meaning of 'take out'......it's still safer to submit that he literally doesn't mean to take him out or something else. But to tell us it means to eat....haba!

Lolz, it is arguable.
Afterall when someone said turn rotten tomato to bad one, they said we do not understand synonyms.

duro4chang:
Tinubu is the next president. The best man for the job. I love him

You both will make nice babies

casualobserver:
You are clearly not very bright

Yeah accepted I am no bright, since you are "clearly bright" where do the allowances paid ex heads of states come from? Simple question.

casualobserver:
she is the wife of a former head of state, if you know the allowances and financial benefits of ALL former heads of state, common sense will tell you she wasnt hungry before she became 1st lady. Most likely she has a medical condition. free speech is not an excuse for defamation.

Same thing being said. The allowances either as ex or current head of states wife is still from where? Public money!

Okealaaye:
Festus Adedayo the Turncoat. Read what his grouse about the Buhari administration is all about:



Festus, search your mind. Would you have written this screed if APC had not rightly TERMINATED your appointment as Senior Special Assistant to the Senate President in 2019? You shamelessly accepted that appointment before you were exposed for who you are - an unprincipled human being who wouldn't mind to run with the hares and hunt with the hounds. Before that time, you were writing against the Buhari administration as if you wouldn't accept any offer from them. A PRINCIPLED man wouldn't have done that, and you know deep down inside you that only people who do not truly know you would read your weekly trash in The Tribune. I'm sure that if Tinubu calls you for service tomorrow, you will swallow your vomit and rationalise your reason for accepting the offer! A big shame on you, spineless and unprincipled weakling. And that's just who you are.
A standard Printing Press, a modern building in a prime area at Ososami, Ibadan, your fleet of cars and your other ACQUISITIONS that you acquired during your SHORT SPELL as Special Assistant in Anambra and the Oyo States; did you obtain those properties through your statutory Salaries alone? Tell Nigerians how you got them that we may learn new things about thrift and spending. But remember that before those assignments you're wearing a pair of socks for three weeks without washing them. "He who must come to equity must come with CLEAN hands"! Hardly is there a public servant in Nigeria who didn't dip his index finger, as it were, in the fish broth. So for Pot to pretentiously accuse Kettle of being black is the height of immorality!


And this too:



Festus Adedayo, Tinubu and the character question, By Segun Ayobolu
ByPremium Times January 23, 2022

Has Festus Adedayo exhibited similar character and principled conduct over the years? Was he displaying character and moral integrity when he served as media aide for eight years in an administration accused of some of the worst forms of corruption and violence against opponents in this dispensation? Was he displaying consistency of character when he worked for over three years as Chairman, Editorial Board, in a newspaper founded by this same Tinubu he holds in such revulsion?

Regardless of his proclivities for misdirected mischief you must give it to him. Festus Adedayo, political scientist, lawyer, journalist and Tribune columnist has impressive academic and professional credentials. He is also a good prose stylist. For years, I have considered Festus to be not just a friend and professional colleague but also a brother. As the Chief Press Secretary to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he was governor of Lagos State between 1999 and 2005, Festus who was then the Features Editor of the Nigerian Tribune was one of the most frequent visitors to my office at the Lagos State government Secretariat, Alausa. On a number of the several occasions that Festus visited my office from his base in Ibadan, I would ensure he met either the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Dele Alake, or the governor directly. It was our practice to bring leading journalists and columnists face to face with the governor so that they could debate him on issues and he could also have access to views from outside those of us serving in government.

Abeg address the issues raised, not the messanger.

Iamthoney:
If economy and the country like made e hard pass the rock and diamond me and family go still dey chop as much as we want, flex as we want, go vacation to anywhere in the world where dem dey grant Nigerians tourist Visa, get the best medical care when sickness show face, sub for phones and routers and Dstv, fuel our cars and generators, change batteries for our solar system, pay staffs and aides without depending on government but solely on God and my hardwork. If the next government like make e worse pass this present one, my finances no fit shake or reduce on God

Well done my brother.
Exactly my point.
The righteous will survive.

Eriggs:
Peter Obituary and Jagaban name in the same sentence?!
Who born Obi? Who be him Papa and Mama?
Where him bingos dey come from?
Shoe get size o...
The only thing Obi can do you Jagaban is to polish his shoes on a daily basis.
I can say that again and again

So it's all about who is a bigger man abi?

Ishilove:
I'm not a moderator. Please stop mentioning me.

Lol

Parachoko:
Tinubu is better than Obi

Ok. Fair enough. Hope some of us are wrong this time and you guys are right.
What we want is a better country. If that will come through Tinubu, it will be good for us all.

Golan007:
Shatap.

Obi was a disaster in Anambra state.

Them don come.
Same lot I referred to.

Uchedizzy:
Is been God all the way, and some people are still planning to vote APC that put us in this mess

No be juju be that?
Well the major way it has affected some of us is that we cannot make our monthly 10 days vacation this December. Did, August, Sept, Oct and Nov. No December for now, except business picks. Don't misunderstand me oh, we are not rich at all, just average managing Nigerians that plan well.
The righteous will survive, leave them to vote Tinubu, apc or PDP again. Na Nigerians sabi.

But who says Tinubu cannot visit the US? I know he did visit during Obama time, during some democratic party function way back where it was rumored he made a sizable donation.

Cutezt:
When I look at everything, I look at the struggles people face and I look at how relatively comfortable I am, all I can say is Thank you Lord.

This country no easy, especially when you dey Lagos Island

You said it all.
But you know what, Nigerians deserve what they get, they never learn. We warned about buhari, did they hear? Same Nigerians want to vote Tinubu or Atiku, we are warning again, but they will not hear. No be juju be that?. You talk but they insult you, next thing all your phone calls are from same folks asking for one assistance to the other. You give once, the following day, the same person ask you for another, when you block their numbers, you become enemy. Meanwhile it is just the same management we are all going through only some manage their affairs better.

Upon thr whole visits, naira keeps tanking.
Who the visits help?

diadem10:
That's the best way to reply a stupid person. Only a stupid person question someone's mama. You don't know how stupid it's. In reality, you won't escape it. You will be dealt with for telling someone that his mother isn't his. Yeye dey smell. To make it even more stupid, Tinubu is a replica image of his mother.

Seems you have no issues with using heavy words way past you.
Kindly ignore my earlier and current post.

He has gone to UK for a "town hall" different from the Blabla Blu, Blu Blabla..
Hopefully he will shout Charles, Charles! Instead of buhari!

grandstar:
The governors have their fair share of the blame but the FG is falling far short of its mandate.

Economic growth under Buhari since 2015 has averaged 1.1% a year, much lower than the 6% that norm between 1999-2013. A lot of the economic slowdown was brought about by Buhari's meddling in the fixing of the exchange rate which has led to catastrophic results.

All states will be adversely affected by the state of the national economy. It can not be divorced from it.

Also note that many governors have no clue what is best for their people even when they have the right motive.

States like Lagos and Kaduna have done well because they have been run by technocrats. There is usually a difference when a technocrat runs things.

And I will reiterate- the federal government has no right to blame the state governments considering its very lamentable results. The economic suffering is too much and people are fleeing the country. At a time of high oil prices when the masses should be enjoying, the Naira is collapsing and the government revenue is insufficient to even service debt. This government has no option to borrow as it has repeatedly refused to make hard choices.

When Okonjo Iweala condemned the governors for being wasteful during OBJ tenure, it carried some weight. They had reduced the foreign debt from $35bn to $5bn using a debt buyback. Created the Excess Crude Account and had $20bn in it. The foreign reserves were $60bn.

Quite educative write up from you.
But if our oil production of 1.8m barrels was being met instead of exports dropping to 8-900k barrels, I dont think we would have been in this terrible state. The Niger delta was producing more before it was militarized. Imagine the income in hard currency lost from eg 1m barrels daily.
In my humble opinion, that is the major reason we are in this poo. The loss of income during this period of high oil prices. This I think is the major cause of the tanking of the value of the naira. Ie reduced forex income and further poverty.
Who is responsible for this? As far as I know, you cannot paddle a canoe towards our waters in the Niger delta without the navy intercepting you, much more super tankers carrying 3m barrels of oil.
Therefore, I think the problem is from the highest level of government.

Jokerman:
Buhari Bubari Buhari Buhari Buhari...

Say it again.... Buhari

A town hall, different from a Blabla Blu, Blu Blabla....

Some married women that go to nysc orientation camp for just 21 days dey cheat talk less of the one that is going to spend years in school

Walai, those nysc shit has gone on for many years! Man that sends his wife to nysc, or abroad for schooling or relocation should just blank his mind, because what will happen will happen, better not to wound yourself with high BP.
Gym business I own, if you see what happens there with women, you will be shocked. One that had the hubby in the US, actually took one of my staff, got an appartmemt for him, changed his cloths, paying him pocket money. Made him leave work. His work was just to service her. Even her kids knew him and were calling him "uncle".
Guys never allow you wife attend a gym alone, register with her, go with her or better still get her equipments at home if you can afford it.

grandstar:
She probably married you because you sent her to school and not for love. Even if the love was initially there, higher institutions are very immoral where youths want to taste life.

I would suggest you first confront her about her cheating. Tell her you suspect she is cheating, that you just have that inkling. Inform her that the day you catch her, that will be the end of the marriage.

The motive here is to get her to stop or better still, create the atmosphere to send her packing. It's like you are cleverly giving her a second chance. Perhaps, invite her family. Do not say you have any evidence. That it is just a hunch.

Why I say you should go this route is because you would have kicked her out already if you wanted to without seeking our advise. You are not so keen on kicking her out though the revelations has truly troubled you.

If she knows you have evidence, she will either beg for forgiveness or change her tactics. What you really, really want is for her to change her ways and be faithful.

You too need to be faithful (Read Hebrews 13:4).. it is double standard and hypocritical for you too to be engaging in adulterous acts and expecting her to put up with it. Perhaps, let her know you too will be faithful.

If she does not change, then do what you have to do.

Well said.
I think when family is involved the possibility of reconciliation gets harder, ie calling family meeting. especially because of the stigma both on the man and wife. Rather maybe just one sibling of the wife that she respects, a male. It could be also just the father of the lady. If she is from a relatively sensible home. That should make her sit up. Unless it is a bad case scenario where it is a cheerful giver he married.

Nextlife1:
We are married for more than 5 years now and I love her
Reason for me to send her to study.

Oga, I sympathize with you. Ignore all the people calling you simp and yabbing you here because most are either not married, or even so the married ones might have not had the experience you are going through yet. Why do I say this, if you know how many married women are into one poo or the other you will be shocked! The saving grace is that hubbies don't know ie they have not been caught.
I think only you from your personal circumstances know what to do. The decision is yours. Is it something you can make her stop? Is she likely to stop? Can you cope?. If you cannot then you know what to do. JAPA!

Someone is dodging for job interview but wants to get the job...

If Tinubu becomes president of Nigeria everything will go wrong in this country

He will prefer to go to hell fire than attend a debate.

diadem10:
Na your mama na. You dey mad.

Having a discussion and you are calling folks mad. Is that how a normal person with his senses intact talks? You rather seem to be the one with a loose screw.
What is your own even, how much have you benefited from Tinubu that makes so rabid?

Okwori12:
9ja... If you can help just let me know. Forget how old. Am not talking about a processed diamond. Am talking about something raw found from the earth. Thank you

How are you sure you found a diamond?
Snap a pic let's see.

KwaraRat:
Story.

Igbo land was known as the land of Satan and cannibalism.

Widespread indiscriminate slave raiding , human sacrifices and cannibalism where the hallmark so much so that it was dubbed the land of Satan.

Your name says it all. Not more is expected.

sharpwriter:
Shuo! tell me you're joking
Anyways the wife go don collect later, unless them never visit naija since den

Lol, not joke oh. This happened over 22 years ago. Them still de till today. Wonderful couple. But me I don't think it still continues, you never know what happens in secret though. But as I said, my guy is quite sucessful, but surely will know his limits.
Guess abroad women have more say, they are more protected by the authorities.

She has a point marriage wise though. Japa always seems to affect marriage especially if the woman starts making money before the man. Omo, it is then you will see a bold, strong man in naija now become a timid kitten.
Many years ago, I landed in the UK. My paddy who just got there 3 months before picked me and took me to his home.long and short, we were deep in conversation the wife interrupted, my paddy said can't you see I am having a discussion? Hmm this lady walked away, returned after 1 min. My guy was backing the door. Omo if you see the slaps, punches this lady was landing on my seated paddy? Fear catch me! When she was done, she left back to the kitchen.
This my guy weh be niggar for Naija ohh.
Anyway may years has passed. Guy is a very big man now.

diadem10:
Odensin, you see Tinubu who's a replica of iyaloja of Lagos yet you're still describing your father? You dey mad? Na your mama born Tinubu?

Oga, do your research, the late woman is not his biological mother.
No diss here, just fact.

Majesty2:
Who gives a fvck? They are free to start anything

Tinubu, seyi etc all have private jets and second passports to japa when the heat you wish for starts, FFK is British, even Obi obviously has a foreign passport. We that don't have, atleast we have visas on our passports and small savings in foreign accts along with little forex in cash for emergency japa.
This one you are blowing mouth for them to "start anything", hope you have your Plan B.

Stomach infrastructure.
