On the contrary, I beg to disagree with due respect, this is news worthy.

At last, the people of that senatorial district can have their true representative. Democracy is also enhanced this way although it's not a guarantee that the representative will be excellent.

However, it will remind him that if he doesn't represent his people well, democracy will take its course to sack and replace him.
It's victory to democracy.

Not everyone, especially serious citizens, will spend all day watching and reading live vanity nudity showing reality TV shows and not everyone in public service is a nonentity. Nation building is serious business.

Leaders need prayers and support too because nobody prays for illwind in life and my faith commands me to pray for those in authority.
I wish him the best of luck and pray for him to succeed.

All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria.

Indeed, African have losted it all. What is special about Jonathan that are celebrated across African. This is a same man that run Nigeria like banana republic during his tunue as president, upon his self acclaimed academia, our educational system was in sorry condition under his watch, health sector is zero, financial mismanagement is in high level, infrastructure are zero, celebrating GEL is an evidence that we have lost hope for good leader in this part of the world.

Patrioticman007:
Hear this hypocrite talk, that its only on Fridays terrorists get to survey the military environment, what of Sundays during church service ?, don't they allow Christian worshipers to join them, from outside & these terrorists cannot disguise as Christian to enter like they did madanllah bombing of suleja. Mr retired Military personnel tell us how many billions you stole when you where in service.
Tell us the fact that, you guys don't want the war on insurance to end because of the security vote you enjoy.
This hypocrite I bet cannot defend the source of the wealths. He accumulated during the peak of his career, like GEJ clueless rightly said " Stealing is not corruption.

NOC1:

How much value is the cleaner adding to society.

You ppl and ur poverty mentality.

My guy went to UK to do masters back in the day, after doing masters the only steady job he could get was menial work. he could not survive corporate world they were firing him left and right.

Spending all that money to do masters and UK corporate world is tough espeically with heavy naija accent.

The guy abandon his menial work and came back to naija.
He don build house now all the other foilks in the UK still dey do their menial job.

Is that life?

Nothing thugish about been a bus driver , bus conductor , Bus fleet owner or Chairman of Transport Union trade union in Nigeria's most populous State

This Danfo drivers work far more than some overly entitled pompous stupid graduates we have.

I never said Danfo drivers or their conductors are. Get the facts right. Even in this two categories mentioned, we have good ones and the thugs who are empowered by this MC of a guy. I’ve been a steady Lagos goer since 2012 so I know what I’m saying. Let me refer you to the clash between the union leaders that happened in 2017 which the other leader died. When you get the details and fact please do come back.

Meanwhile, I like the way you put your debate. Straight to the point of discuss, no insult. Keep it up.

Happy Sunday.

We didn't know that being the chairman of NURTW in Lagos state, the largest trade union in Nigeria is thuggish.

When people like you see other people doing better in life than you, you get mad and upset instead of looking for better ways to better your own life.

Sad people, always think they are better than other w=people when in fact they are nothing but bad bele, hateful and bitter enemy of progress.

Smiles, sorry dear. I won’t go details neither will I start saying this or that about myself here. But I’m so grateful that in my age, am doing pretty well for myself and family.

Nairaland is a non facial community so no need bragging or looking down cause I know they’re peeps who are billionaires here through legitimate ways not of that your master your defending.

I can never bad belle/ hateful on someone like him. On the issue of him being a thuggish, the records are there for all to see.

Happy Sunday.

Viknat:

That family cannot be addressed as beautiful but a burden... They can only work together to make it beautiful but not without scars and emotional wounds.

In 2016 she told me her salary was #50.000 And then two years later, when she got promoted, I asked about her salary and she said, “Oh these people, don’t mind them. They added only #5000 to my old salary. Because of her meager salary, I’ve taken up so many responsibilities in the house without complaint. I pay for utilities and pay for food. I pay the fees of our two kids, clothe them, and take care of their medical bills. When my wife sends me a grocery list, she adds sanitary pads. She buys dresses and clothes, comes to show them to me, and asks me to pay for them. She started talking about a car when our second child came in. Things weren’t good on my side so I asked her to give me some time. She said, “I’ve saved something. I can add it to what you have so you pay me when your money comes.”

I agreed and took that money from her, topped it up to get her a car. For three months my ears never rest. She would wake up at dawn and ask me to pay what I owed her. I got tired and paid the money when I didn’t have much in my account.

One evening, I turned my laptop on and saw a lot of emails. I checked and it was my wife’s email that had been opened. I asked her, “Did you use my laptop?” She answered, “Yeah I was checking something.” I told her, “Then you didn’t log out.” She answered, “I forgot. Please log out for me.” I was about to log out when something caught my attention. I saw a mail with the subject, “January Payslip.” I opened and started going through. When I saw her gross salary, I was shocked. #400,734? And this girl has been crying poverty?

I went through the details. That night I couldn’t sleep. I was angry. I felt let down. I felt cheated. I felt played. We’ve been married for six good years and my wife earned that much without my knowledge? How much she earned didn’t bother me a lot than what she was using that money for. I decided not to talk immediately but rather do a little bit of investigation.

All my life I’ve held the view that it wasn’t right for anyone to go through their partner’s phone. It’s an invasion of privacy and it breeds mistrust in the relationship but that night, going through her phone was the only way to find out what I was looking for. I started with her best friend. Nothing much was found. Her family had a Whatsapp group. I read the messages there. I got few hints. I went through the chat with her father and that was when I realized my wife had bought a piece of land and had started building. Her father was in charge of the project. He had sent photos of the various stages of the building. At some point, her father said, “Thank you for helping out your brother. He would have been home had it not been you.”

She has only one brother—her senior brother. I went to look for the chat between them. Her senior brother lost his job and was home doing nothing so my wife bought her Hyundai i10 to use for Uber. Every week, her brother rendered an account and they split the money. From all indications, my wife was doing well for herself while she plays poor so she could rely on my salary. Why would she do that? I thought I was being a supportive husband so my wife could be proud of the man she married. When we bought land, it was her name and my name that appeared on the land title. That car I bought for her with a loan from her bears her name. I didn’t mind. I believed what’s hers was also mine. 

The next morning she realized I wasn’t looking well. I was boiling on the inside but looking for a good opportunity to start the conversation. When I calmed down a little, I asked her, “So why would you do that to me?” She asked, “What have I done?” I answered, “You bought land, you never told me. You started building on it, you never told me. When are you going to tell me?” She was shocked. She asked, “Who told you all that?” I said, “Your father did.” She stood quiet for a while. She asked, “Why would my father tell you all that? What were you people talking about” I said, “I don’t know. You can ask him.” 

We left it there. Some minutes later she came to me with her phone: “My father wants to talk to you.” The phone was already on a loudspeaker. His father was clearly angry. He asked, almost shouting, “You said I told you my daughter has a building? Where did I say that and when?” I asked, “Is it not true that my wife has a building project going on that you’re supervising?”  He asked me, “I told you that?” I asked, “Is it true or not?” After the back and forth I told them, “I read your messages last night. I saw the pictures. I read the various budget you had sent to my wife. I read the confirmation of the money receipts that you sent her. You’re a man. Would you be happy if your wife does this to you?” He started fumbling. He started apologizing saying he thought I was aware.”


My wife stood there motionless, didn’t know what to say. When her father hung up, I told her everything I knew, from her salary to the car she bought for her brother. I said, “Yet, even your sanitary pad, I buy them. You think I’m a fool? You’ll use your money to acquire your own properties and live on mine because you’re my wife? I hear. We’ll see.”

Trust was lost. Love was broken. We had to find a new way of living our lives going forward. Her father called me every morning and evening apologizing for everything and sometimes taking up the blame so I didn’t have to blame his daughter. I told him, “The emotional state I’m in right now, it would be hard to think straight or think forgiveness. Just give me space.” Three days later, they were in our house. The father, the mother, and the senior brother. They came to apologize. “Don’t let this break up the beautiful marriage you both have. If nothing at all, consider the kids and be lenient in your judgment.”

I listened to them. My position was still the same. “I need time to clear my mind. Just leave me alone to think.” From last month to this moment that I’m writing this, my wife had changed totally. She doesn’t ask for money but the house is being run smoothly. She has started paying for things she never paid for but that doesn’t move me. She has taught me a very great lesson and I’m taking it seriously. That in everything, I have to look out for myself and my family first. Last she told me, “If you want us to change the names on those properties, we can do so.” Guess whose name is on the property…her father’s name.”

I told her, “You don’t need to change anything. They are yours. You suffered for them so you can decide what you want to do with them.” The land I bought has our names. I’m selling it and take my money back. The car she’s driving has her name. I put a for-sale sticker on it some weeks ago. She agreed she’ll pay for the car. I’ve given her two months to pay up or I sell it and take my money. She’s getting the message and I’m glad. Each one for himself, God for us all. She keeps asking if I’m going to leave her. I keep telling her I won’t but if she wants a divorce, I will gladly give her. I’m not going to leave the marriage. I would give us some time to heal and see what may happen but when it comes to money, I’ve taken the lesson she taught me through her actions. 

*What's your take?*

I agree with the opportunity to get connected in RCCG. I have been a beneficially. I think the best thing is to know how to relate with them in the Church.
