Sad, this whole agitation is needless and senseless.

They should channel that energy into something else like making right choices in the forthcoming elections.

Any agitation without the support of traditional, political and religious leaders cannot achieve its aim

As a chess player, this is sponsored agitation to get the attention of the FG. That is to say, if you don't give me that position, I will personally champion secession. May be my brain is working too much

minimum wage that the government only implements for government workers only...only few private sector pay 30k...do you know most people earn below 30k in this country?...the true definition of minimum wage is not practiced in Nigeria...abeg keep minimum wage matter out of this gist abeg

Remember we are assuming a sensible government will be in charge. Raise minimum wage, create more jobs through agriculture and production, 30k private workers will move to government employees and private business will eventually raise there standards or join government production. The aim is to be productive as a country and be able to afford anything be it in Nigeria or abroad.

rickpat:
inflation will hit Nigerians harder once fuel prices go up..removing subsidy when you are not sure of getting the products internally,still depending on importation..na look I just dey look,e be like na juju this POLITICANS dey use,cus i don't understand how Nigerians buy all the nonsense these POLITICANS spill on daily basis

oga,tell us how you will tackle INFLATION..Nigerians ain't asking the right questions...our POLITICANS are too free and not tasked appropriately

You are not a business man, you cannot sustain economy artificially for long. The real price of fuel is 500+,... Yes it will cause inflation but we will be working with reality. Minimum wage and salaries will be reviewed accordingly and everyone will stabilize. If we face our real economy, minimum wage should be 200k. If we explore further in production, the economy will balance and everyone will be happy. We just have to produce food in abundance and Nigeria will be great.

Na wa, Buhari campaigned aggressively to be president of Nigeria like someone who konji hold and soon as he released, he just jump up and left.

@61 The "The Youngster Who Wants to Clean UP Nigeria"
That is the caption that grace London Sunday Times Front Page .

It's clear to the blind that Peter OBI is the best candidate.
Even supporters of other Presidential candidates are aware of this .

Even Tinubu and Atiku will vote for Peter Obi

High BP loading to urchinsons and gazelle Bulaba miscreants

Kobonaire234:
You will understand the way they understand in Borno and Kaduna

Borno is fine, when last did you visit south east because it's nothing to write home about.

Kobonaire234:
Better they not choose the crininals checkpoint.

Better they do not follow in the footsteps of the North. See as their heroes have turned into hell's demons.

Criminal Checkpoint...? You no go understand sha

mcmurphy132:
It seems all this nairaland Igbo like the unrest.

They won't ever condemned this neither will their Obi do

Probably police don show them shege and the enemy of your enemy is definitely your friend

DispatcherLagos:

I remember when dirty police men used to lobby to be posted to South East cos they see it as the place they can carry on their devilish activities without qualms.

Now, police man go faint, wake up and faint again on getting his posting letter and seeing anything that looks like "Ana.........

Check points don reduce drastically for east.

Lance00009:
You can only make your sibling a millionaire when you are a billionaire

If you are a thousandnia make some of your relatives hundrednia, if you millionare... Thousandnia... Billionaire, millionaire etc

Hendrixky:
Not easy


But the quickest way to become a Billionaire is to ensure you make your relatives especially your siblings a millionaire first

Only people with deep sense and critical thinkers will understand my statement above

Yea na waiting dem no no. Make all your relatives productive.. Out of 7, 3 will be very useful with your support and help you share the burden. I learned this method late.

Irupetepete:
Omo, uneasy lies the head that wears the crown...
I am not the rich relative, infact, I just go by everyday doing the best I can..
I am this person that doesn't know how to beg cos right from onset after sec school, been fending for myself till I got married...
Everyone knows the terrible situation in Nigeria right now so I can't but pity the rich among many poor relatives right now...

I have a junior brother who just came in from outside... He was looking fresh and fly but looking at him yesterday, I almost shed tears...
He has been the one shouldering many responsibilities and he is just 33yrs old...
He said Egbon, you self no need anything? I told him he shouldn't worry that I will manage...
I was eavesdropping one of his call last December and he was lamenting he has spent close to 13m in just 3months of coming home...
The problem we have as Nigerians is, everybody tends to have a problem or the other when their rich or abroad relatives land...
Spending for his immediate family isn't the problem but iru wa, giri wa,(diff. Sort of people) and as per naija mentality, if you don't do, they may inflict you with something or somehow diabolically stop you from traveling back.. The last time he was home was 8yrs ago, he sure me say if he travel again, na till retirement before he go come back....

So share your experience as per the aforementioned topic..

The problem is we lack financial piggybacking. He has 13m, he could had been empowering the relatives one by one to relieve the burden in advance. Well, na person wey wear shoe know where e dey pain am.. May be he did and they squandered.

Scenario:

You have a good marriage, you pamper and take care of your wife, family and responsibilities.

On this particular day, your wife wanted to travel for an event, you asked her not to go for this particular event, kindly note, she is very social and travels a lot, you allow her, give her the freedom she needs.

Now, she ignored you and travelled, what can you do to express your displeasure, get her to apologise and avoid a repetition of such?

Creative solutions asides sex or money should be proferred

Married men and women only*

To the women, if you were the woman in this scenario, what can your husband do to get you to apologise and make you not repeat such?

Leave the home for the bar and come back by 12

Make we no make mistakes vote any drug dealer to power ooo

Enemyofpeace:
I just came back from the market now. See all I bought for Fifteen thousand naira.

So chicken is 1k for your area... Continue

Olasyke:
Put body first.
Also, why would I want to be with someone who can't feed herself without my help. I wouldn't want to set myself up with that.

Everybody needs help from everybody. Someone was with you before you were able to feed yourself. If you love someone, convert her to an asset before engaging her, make sure she is productive but if she is the type that resists productivity, run.

DispatcherLagos:

Don't take advice from simps.
Nigerian girls are liabilities, except you want to remain at the level of "from hand to mouth" avoid any serious relationship talk more of marriage until food, clothing and shelter are not issues that worry you.

Simply means if food, clothes shelter are no longer your problems, go am marry. You are saying the same thing.

My own be say, if you must marry, marry your business partner or a business girl or woman. Improve her business and make her your business partner. If she is a liability, convert her to an asset before engaging her. If you lose her in the process, no problems, move on. However, make sure you find money early and marry early... E get why.

God1000:
There's a lot of reaction from people on social media with some claiming the lady is older than the boy.

What do you think? Are they compatible?

Underage marriage should be discouraged, that guy is not upto 18

SmartPolician:
INEC had four years to prepare for these elections, but they are still receiving BVAS a few weeks to elections.

What time do they have to test-run all these machines? The way I see it, this INEC is likely going to postpone this election to a later date.

Abokiiii and sense are far apart. 4yrs ago we knew we were going to have election next month. I wonder what they have been doing

mariahAngel:
Acquiring a new skill is a way of adding value to yourself.
Every time you learn something new, you become better than you were.

This year, be encouraged to learn as much skills as you can, so that in the near future, you can be better than you are now.
So that when you look back, you can be proud of the person you have become and what you have been able to achieve.

So, without further ado, what skill(s) are you learning this year?

Buying and selling

khreus:
Things are way too different now. The same set of girls who jumped the fence then would have wired the cab-man acct some outrageous zeros digit and he dare not come back to school to report , not even in grave.

Hahaha, as a cab man with family hustling to put food on the table, you come see 100k wahhh just to shut up... Mehn the first thing that will come your mind be say, no be me go correct Nigeria.

For your wife to suggest that she will be coming back home only during the weekends, is enough evidence for you to know that she no longer have much interest in the marriage again.

This is harsh and sad but it's the plain truth.

You can't force a woman to stay with you. Thats the bitter truth you just said. The next thing is to plan how to kill the man

Afodot0022:
Happy new year nairalanders. This year is favor for us all. I need advice o my people especially from people that have been in the same scenario before.

I am having an issue in my marriage which is taking my peace this moment. My wife got a job at the correctional services of Nigeria which is formally know as prison service as a warder like 2 years now.

At first i never wanted her to do the job cos i knew the job will be demanding and will cause friction at home but i decided to let her go for it just to keep her busy and also to get small support from her cos it's not easy for me shouldering all expenses.

After she got the job, I noticed my wife changed in character and attitude and also in integrity, example like lieing and also having an I don't care attitude which she doesn't do when she was not working. Well I thought maybe the little exposure she start having and people she is minggling with are those influencing her. I never take consideration of it. The job is so demanding that she works on shift, at tmes afternoon and night shift and this has caused alot of issues but I decided to be an understanding husband and ignore, I supported her in chores of the house and also take care of our two kids when she is gone for work.

My mom also stays with us making it easier for me to navigate and take care of the home while she is away at work. It happened that we had serious issue of infidelity from her last year that i saw her chatting with one of her old friend and notice they were having an emotional affair. I was angry when I found out and sent her parking from the room we share together.

Honestly my intention was to send her away from the house cos I was furious and disappointed that despite all I have been doing for the family and also for her, she could pay me back in such manner, but because of pleading from my mom, I decided to let her move her stuff to the sitting room and we stop staying in the same room cos i needed space and also to heal from the heartbreak and disappointment.

During those time for like 4 months we had serious issue and living apart and doing things separately, but still in the same flat, I only give her money for my kids feeding and also pay their school fee cos have already made up my mind to move on.

During those period she went ahead to rent an apartment in the barracks where she works and never informed me. It was after she had paid for the apartment she told me and informed she will be leaving to her work station and reason is for her to reduce stress and also expenses.

When she got the job then, it was so stressful for her cos the distance to kirikiri to where we stay is very far and also she spend all her salary on transport, attimes she uses the house upkeep money I gave for tfare when she is stranded. She doesn't have time for me nor the kids cos she will be so exhausted when she returns back from work.

So when we had misunderstanding, I think she saw it as an opportunity to move to barracks and also to reduce her stress and also expenses. But what annoyed me is she never carried me along when she was processing the apartment.

Now the misunderstanding has been settled by both family and have decided to forgive her and give her a second chance cos this was her first time misbehaving. She has always been a good wife from the start but don't know why she turned this way of late. Now the issue is that, i don't know what to do, initially i told her to resign the government job which she accepted to resign, irrespective of her not having any new job or business to fall back on if she resign. She will be at home idle and dependant on me. Not that this govt job she is doing is helping financially at home cos she entered the institution with SSCE cert and poorly paid that bfore the month end she is broke and spend all on tfare, but because its a govt job and also she can grow in it and also become big in it in future, I decided to let her continue the job but she still wants to go to the apartment that she rented cos it has start reading.

What she suggested is she coming home every weekend to attend to the kids and return back afterwards. While she is gone back, it will be my mom and myself that take care of the kids of 5 and 6 years and my mom is old and don't have strength for such stress. I don't think that will be easy for me as man cos I also work as well and don't have that much time.

My decision now is for her to take the kids with her to the barracks to stay with her and will also change their school, i will be going there when i have the time to check on them. I can't change our present location now cos the place is closer to my own work and the apartment is almost rent free reason why i decided to stay put cos its not easy with rent in Lagos.

The problem now is that if i allow them to go, at anytime, they might sent my wife to enugu for 6 month to do her mandatory course and there will be no choice, the kids will be back to me and will also start changing school again which is not good for the kids. The job has been like a curse to the family rather than a blessing.

Should my wife resign the job and get another job closer to home so she can have time for her family or i should let her go to the barracks alone or with my kids and will be visiting them once in a while even though i as a man i have needs aswell and dont know how that needs will be meant when she leaves. I am just in a dilemma now and need an advice expecially from married couples and those that have experience such or couples that live apart due to work or something else. Pls pardon my typo errors.

I will appreciate frontage from the mod for more inputs.

There are some jobs not good for married women, it's not every offer you take. Borrow loan and start a business for her my problem is if she is already cheating using the job as a cover up, even if she resigns the matter will be worse. How can a married woman leave her husband for training for 6 months. Even nysc considers married women so why would they take her out of her family for 6 months. Find out if she is cheating, if she is not, tell her to resign with plan B but if she actually cheating, divorce her or get a second wife to serve you better. Any woman who no longer prioritize her children is either cheating or never loved the father of the kids. A lot of red flags in your marriage already, you need prayers as well.

TinubuDeDrugLor:
That's a fact.

Yoruba men likes sleeping with peoples wives. Very common there.

E dey give them one kind euphoria of banging another man's wife with impunity
