Does she want to learn?
Does she have other redeeming qualities about her?
Her personality, etc....

What if she doesn't know how to cook but she is industrious, hardworking and a really caring woman who contributes financially to the family, would you still act the same way? I doubt it.

If she didn't learn how to cook between the ages of 8 and 20 (12 years opportunity to learn) how will she start learning when she's married? It may not be her fault that her parents did not teach her, but that's not MY problem. I had an ex like that: common eba she no sabi, talk less of soup. Next.

Besides, you really think that an industrious and hardworking and caring woman would somehow skip learning to cook? It's ironic to have all these qualities yet, refuse to sit and learn how to do something that everyone should know how to do.

Redeeming qualities and all that personality crap will fade out the window when you come home for the upteenth time in a month and have to order food, eat out, or do the cooking yourself. You might tolerate it at first, cuz she's cute or industrious or whatever, but walahi... resentment will build up. You might end up complaining to some fine suzy at work or in the neigbourhood who says: "but I can make you some small ewedu nah". Next thing you know, miss cannot-cook is out of the house and you're coming home to the nice aroma of enticing home cooked meals by suzy.

Young ladies, don't be fooled by feminism, modernism, egalitarianism, educatedism, been-to-ism, or whatever ism. Those oyinbo men are hardly happy in their marriages, hence the 50%+ divorce rates. We no dey chop grammar; abeg learn to cook well.

Shym3xx:
But that isn't how she paid him back by making him look like a jobless thief that's living off her sweat, when he made her what she's.

She isn't loyal.

He might have encouraged her, and maybe made some connections... but I don't agree that "he made her what she is":
- he owns no studio
- he owns no advertising agency
- he owns no record pressing or distributing company
- he did not put any of his money into it (I'm assuming here)
- he is no producer or song writer

So he introduces her to some people and encourages her... is that an excuse to sit back and expect her to pay all his bills, including his irresponsible spending, landing them into debt? Basically, he wanted to be her pi-mp, and she'd had enough. She wouldn't say it out loud, but I'm sure the guy is a serious playboy, even though married.

Ikwokrikwo:
Walk into any provision store and you will see hundreds of body creams with "white" as a suffix in their names. Caro white, this white, that white.

Shame on Nigerian women.

Can you blame dem? I hear guys say crap like: "I can't date her, she's too black".

Ehen... what do you want her to do. Men claim they want natural, yet the ones they chase have brazilian hair, contacts, and bleach. Not all men of course, but enough to justify these women's actions.

ALAYORMII:
These people should be schooled on the difference between Africa the continent and a country in Africa.
You moved by to Nigeria not Africa
That's why these white folks always deride us by referring to Africa as a country.

Abeg hep me tell dem. I don tire to dey lecture these people about the difference.

Shym3xx:
Lol.

This ole rabbit teeth having sket just can't keep this nyggah's name out of her mouth.

You destroyed the guy, yet won't let him rediscover himself and can't go a week without name-dropping the guy.

It just shows the guy made her and without him, she'd still be a failed X-factor contestant.

Leave the guy alone, biitch.

Ah ah... shes's just stating the facts. He did encourage and help her become the star she was destined to be. Now just because he helped her doesn't mean she didn't work hard or she is not talented oh. No matter who helps you, if you don't have talent or are lazy, you won't blossom. So give due credit to both of them.

I'm really happy for her, and celebrities like her. Please continue to enjoy your success.

But you know what was paining me as I'm looking at her pictures on the beach? Why don't Nigerian celebrities use their money to develop their home towns? They spend all this money going and enjoying other people's beaches, but our own towns, which can be very beautiful if developed, are eyesores with poverty and litter everywhere.

I know part of the answer is that the witches and wizards back home won't let them prevail and improve their hometowns, but still... it pains me sha.

They complain that GEJ did not save. How is one supposed to rehabilitate airports, railways, roads, and electric plants, AND save at the same time? If he didn't spend on infrastructure, they would complain that he was stifling the economy. Smh

Chimezie250:
are you serious

She's not wrong... A stone that does not harm the economy for 4 years might be just what we need.

Mafizo:
This is one of the reasons why the whites are far better than us

Not that Africans especially Nigerians don't have food at home but they derive joy in killing innocent animals

Every Week we here about killings of wild animals especially reptiles of which most are endangered species

You mean the whites that have all the food they can get, yet they have a huge industry of killing for sport? The fact is, we Africans don't kill for sport... we kill animals for food...

peterdrury:
All hail the worst governor ever, he has destroyed what's left by the former thieves in a year and few months. Nothing is happening in the state, the government is for his family and friends.

Are you sure about that? Because I'm seeing the dualization of roads in Asaba, Okpnanam, and several other places. I'm seeing optical fiber cables being laid along the Expressway, drains being built; hospitals and schools being built and rehabilitated. I'm not defending the poster, in fact I think it's a slap in the face of Deltans; I also understand that he should do more, but to say he is not doing anything is not accurate.

... to lead the Super Eagles to do what exactly? Barely qualify for the World Cup, then crash out after 2 games?

Smh... this is wasted money better spent on buying chalk for our primary schools.

Idrismusty97:
"...And can carry only 48 people." Next! This is what Nigerians commonly term Big for Nothing.
Well one merit is that it is flown remotely and can stay in air for 3 weeks. That's for those who want to be in air endlessly looking at what? Clouds? If it were space exploration it would be better.

Lots, since it can stay in the air up to 3 weeks.
- atmospheric research
- quiet surveilance over a long period of time
- logistics over disaster areas, including acting as a temporary cellphone tower
- would it one day carry huge amounts of water for forest fire suppression?

Just marking register for Name Checkers Association of Nigeria, Asaba branch. Chierika daalu.

Well done. I'm from SS, and I really admire the cooperation and ambitions of the SW governors. Nothing but thumbs up and am looking forward to more of this all around the country.

prosperity2016:
this is a project that will be funded with ipod money, coz without taxes, lasgidi is nothing.
#ipob project.

OK, so it will be funded with ipod money? So what? Ipods are living in a place that gives them the enabling environment to do business and generate revenue... the host government is collecting tax on said revenue and doing something with it... what's the problem again?

mars123:
Unruly behaviour of Nigerian people/government is part of Nigerias dilemma...so if you are not a mad dog why are you worried about a leash?

some people are not aware of their responsibilities as Nigerians. Is it to criticize everything the government do that makes you patriotic? When you just want to continue living in the fools paradise that Nigeria has become.

The honest/humble/hardworking combo doesn't guarantee success here. You have to be a sharp guy, cunning like the tortoise because that is the system.

Telling you that change starts with you is what you don't want to hear. How then does change come about? The president with the magic wand? You dey jonse...

If the president creates an enabling environment where:
- good jobs are available to all
- resources are plentiful (water, food, light, good roads, good schools, cheap transport, etc)
- police are actually protectors instead of parasites

Then we will not need to hustle and struggle. IN other words, if government creates an environment where we know we will get our turn, you will see the order and "discipline" you seek. You are blaming and punishing the crayfish for bending, meanwhile ignoring the conditions that make it bend.

Orikinla:
.
He is a great man who is now twice Head of State of the greatest black nation on earth.
And you are an underachiever.

Even me too, by his standards, am an underachiever.

But to be lucky enough to be given the mantle of leadership of such a great country, and to screw it up twice, visiting hardship upon your people... I'm not sure what to call it...

... meanwhile, millions of Nigerian grandfathers watch their grandkids playing... with cardboard box... in the dark...

vodutive:
Which foreign airline has invested in the Nigerian aviation industry, which one has a maintainace hub in Nigeria? how many Nigerians do they employ? All they do is come take our passengers and then ask CBn to remit their profits at the official rates.


Nigerians are so dumb, they should rejoice because it means the growth of Nigerian airlines, it means Nigerian airlines will take up the passengers abandoned by these airlines, more importantly Nigerian airlines will earn foreign exchange, less competition for Nigerian airlines, it means growth of the local airlines, it means jobs!!!!!!

Think my people.

You make good points, but, allow me to rebut:

1. How will you maintain [sic] a maintenance hub in Nigeria when you have to import everything, even the engine oil? And will you buy Nigerian made (erm sorry Chinese-made-cheaply-for-Nigerian-market) spare parts, or will you import all that? At what exchange rate (which fluctuates on a daily basis, and CBN policies change all the freaking time) And where is the trained talent? Is is our do-anyhow-mechanics you're going to hire to delicately fasten airplane components? Moreover, it makes economic sense to build one maintenance facility in your home country, and send all your planes there, than to build several in different countries, particularly when it's in a country with severely degraded amenities, where you're not even guaranteed that you can be supplied enough water to wash your plane seats cushions.

2. why should they employ more Nigerians than they need? You hire the talent you need, no more and no less. Are you going to ask Air France to hire more Americans, Brits, Japanese, or Brazilians than they need to function in a particular country? This is not a charity.

3. In every sane country, airlines remit their money at the official rate. Why should Nigeria get special treatment because it doesn't know how to handle its affairs properly?

4. To leave us at the mercy of Nigerian airlines (e.g. Arik)... don't make me laugh. Arik has a red-carpet route from New York to Lagos and they manage to screw it up most of the time: never leaving on time, equipment issues galore. To give them more routes with little competition will only make them more complacent. And all the foreign exchange they earn will simply be used to buy fuel and parts abroad, and to maintain aircraft at foreign facilities. Profits will be used by the management to buy fancy houses, boats, and cars... abroad. Don't kid yourself.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?

So many flaws in this that my head is spinning.

I only hope that this is fake news that will be refuted in the next few hours... standing by.

TheTrueSeeker:

The image of the country is at stake here and no time for jokes...!!!
!

I laugh... Nigeria has no image to protect... it has been tarnished for decades in the international scene... stranded athletes can't make it any worse.

And if we were to use a Presidential jet, dear Senator, I imagine you would tweet at the silliness and cost of it, won't you. I suspect you're just trying to jab the President a bit, playing politics.

Moreover, what sensible countries do is charter a flight on a commercial airline (we have Arik, for one).

FvckeDyoBiTch:
This information is inconsequential to me...If a cultist tries messing with me, I will drag your name through the student government all the way to the police.

Any woman is fair game, I don't care about the cultists...All in all cultists don't exist in my college so I am safe.

OP this thread is severely flawed but that's a debate for another day

Smh... forming James Bond online.

Ban ban ban! That's all we can do. Provide jobs, no. Let us hustle small. No.

At least there's no ban on armed robbery...

solid3:
See what a white man tweeted about Nigerian police
"The Nigerian police are so friendly. We were pulled over twice in the last 10mins just because they wanted to wish us happy weekend. "

Coded tinz... you of course know that "Happy weekend" means "dash us money for us to also do happy weekend"

Barselonia:
“Don’t marry a girl simply because she can sing! In the choir there are some people that can sing but they are fallen angels! Marry a prayer warrior! If a girl cannot pray for one hour, don’t marry her.

Na the girls that can pray for one hour I dey fear pass... They have so many sins per week that they need 1 hour to unload them in prayer!!!

Swaggzkid:
Hahahahahah

op show them the Veterinary medicine student lodge and and the road leading to the girls hostel...

stop showing off only the beauty ... show off the ugly too

Why? Is that what the media, tourism and Hollywood do in the West? Last I checked, they only show the wonderful parts of LA, NYC, Atlanta. Going by their publications, you would think all the streets are paved with gold and everybody lives like royalty. Abeg... I can see the ugly parts of Naija anytime... so OP please continue to show me the fine parts to help ease my mind.

flyca:
Many projects in Nigeria are funny o. I don't care if it is Rivers, or Anambra or Osun, most of them are same - sub-standard.

Take a look at these "light-up" projects for instance. In the past two hours alone I have seen two on NL frontpage - same - detasteful.

The ideal is to make a good road, carve out sections for lower speed vechicles like keke etc, plus the pedestrian paths, with properly defined shoulders. Then light up the road, to the left and right of both lanes. Both ways.

But No - its not done in this part of the world. Even vehicle head lamps "light up" more than the supposed "light-up" lights. Mounting two poles of dim street lights less than half kilometer, powered by generator is no project and doesn't worth all these media stunts. Plus "our governor is working" crew

Naija go better is the slogan. The question is - when?

Abeg help me tell dem. You read my mind

Liberty101:
Obiano for president !

Seconded and Thirded!
A man with vision to see into the future, self confidence to continue predecessors's projects, and courage to lead us forward.

modath:
Does this woman even reflect before saying these damning things?

https://www.bellanaija.com/2016/04/jonathans-administration-had-zero-political-will-to-save-but-obasanjo-did-ngozi-okonjo-iweala/




Madam, you had 5yrs (2nd chance that most never get in life) to do this but No, "No will to save" was the excuse...

Talking about industrialization, same government talking about rice revolution then was granting rice import waivers to party jobbers, thereby under cutting genuine farmers and defeating the purpose..... smoke and mirrors revolution.

It's one thing to be a minister and give advice... it's another thing to be president and refuse to take advice. If you want change, encourage this woman to run for president, and vote for her.

Foolish Man

Actually, if you remember, he was the one who resisted changing the official peg of 199. It was "learned" economists, bankers, students, taxi drivers, parents of students abroad, importers, etc. who were crying that he should allow the peg to float so that the disparity of official to parallel rates won't be so high. They also insisted that it would encourage the naira to gain.

Now that the naira has lost value after removing the peg, those armchair economists are absolving themselves of any blame.

This has the look of utter slander, by people who just want to sell newspapers and heat up the polity in Turkey. The general in question dismisses all allegations, as has the US president.

"Ouch!"

That was the sound of me falling out of my tree from laughing so hard. $1.75billion, on solar for 1125MW. I'm a *huuuge* fan of solar, but this effort might do us more harm than not. Let me see if I can explain in between stifling my laughter.

First, we know that 1/2 the money will just be eaten, so we're down to $875 million

Second, our minister has not yet learned to successfully manage the hydro and thermal plants we have on ground successfully, but rather than fixing the problem (underperforming plants, woeful grid, and ne'er do well vandals), we're pouring money down the drain on new infrastructure. I know some towns whose transformers have blown for years now.

Third, does this involve huge banks of battery banks or are we only going to see electricity when the sun is shining?

Fourth, solar needs a good amount of maintenance (cleaning the panels regularly, battery replacement) to continue to work. I'm sure there's no money in this budget for maintenance or replacement. How do we dispose of (or recycle) all the used batteries? Are we just going to dump all that lead in our ground, every 2-3 years?

Fifth, show me a government-provided solar installation that worked after six months.

Sixth, have we trained anybody local to install and maintain? Or are we going to see rusted pieces of metal in about 1-2 years time?

Seventh, how are we going to pay for all this? Is it loan, bonds, or existing cash? Will tariffs rise 3x?

Anyways, good job, looking forward to seeing it work, now back up the mango tree I go.
