Hmm.. l now really know why politics has been a do or die affair for many! Such money flows into our coffers and we still have Nigerian children being taught in dilapidated structures? Nigeria is certainly a rich Country but grossly mismanaged from the Federal level to that of the Local government.

mbulela:
Gbam!!
Instead of all this long grammar, Amaechi should spend his time and energy trying to build a political structure which he truly lacks. Rivers politics is not ideology based nor is it won on the pages of newspaper. Unfortunately, it is rules by structures. Something Amaechi lacks. Besides, can you imagine that March salaries are still not paid as we speak?
Let rivers people enjoy the wrecking ball that is wike
After a year, we will count the miles.

You understand my flow.

OP wey sabi check profile abeg help me check if her whatsapp number dey there

Wetin u wan take am do?

Let them leave Wike to govern in peace and let the people of Rivers be the ones to decide whether they made the right decision or not as 4yrs is just 48months and not eternity! l foresee Wike having issues with PEJ along the way, as PEJ will no longer have any federal might to continue to have him under her control quote me.

A poor political decision. this incident would haunt Folarin when next he campaigns for a political office.

They should desist from causing any crack in the party.

Eyah, both parties rigged so they should move on!

OP, cool down with this your story.

'He was also handed an envelope' Nna men this boy is in business o!

lt is now 2.11 a.m here in Nairobi, make l go sleep. Wishing you all a restful night, Lala salama (sleep well in Swahili)

babyosisi:
One can only take so much I guess
Maybe they should modify the definition of widow

A woman whose husband is dead or as good as dead

l still can not grasp why a husband/father would think he has the liberty to turn his back on his family and still expect that same family to be his care-giver at the later stage of his life. Life has a way of settling everyone.

babyosisi:
Chai
But really why should people blame her,I see her point
She needed food to feed her kids,she wasn't wishing him death
If na me I go register too

The Nwunye edi group came with their own fine and she asked them to list out the responsibilities of a husband, this they did and which of the listed responsibilities is her husband taking care of?

cococandy:
what do you want me to say Na?

I'm playing good understanding african woman.

Afriwetin? l remember back in the 90's when the wife attended a gathering of widows who were to be given some foodstuff. Uncle accused her of wishing him dead by her registering as a widow! The men in the family took it up against her but she asked if any of them had bothered to ask after her and the children to know how they were coping? na im everybody quiet!

babyosisi:
I heard about a man who was so mean to his wife because she didn't have a baby,kept threatening her with getting a new wife
She went to Ghana back then and took the nurse's exam and came to the USA
The husband wanted her back home,she refused to return ,he married a new wife
Many years after,he is retired,pension not forthcoming,The wife here sends money to him to take care of himself
She built a house for herself in the town,visits home from time to time and goes to see him and his new wife and kids in their old house and never sleeps there sha
The new wife is much younger and calls her aunty
She even scolds her for not keeping their house clean
And gives her money to cook for him
Na so life suppose dey sometimes

At least she has her dignity and her peace of mind.

cococandy:
what a man

He's polygamous in nature sha. They for try understand
#justkidding

Understand wetin? He had a wife and 9 children to cater for!

babyosisi:
My namesake sef

Hahahahaha
There are many
They will be praying for the daughter to deliver yearly so the omugwo will be prolonged
After that,they become the nanny

I don't blame her jare

She went for the first one and stayed there, now she rotates among her children as at least one is giving birth every year! Da Beatrice really suffered, let her enjoy the fruit of her labour!

babyosisi:
This is not a rare story
There are women who go for omugwo and don't want to go back home to their husband's
People say women with mean spouses occupy themselves with children and work to ease the pain of a bad marriage and when the kids are grown and gone,she feels it the most because all the meanness the man gave her and the kids now belongs to her alone
Omugwo becomes her saving grace for a season

If he dies,they will mourn him of course but also heave a sigh of relief That peace has come at last

You captured it very well, Da Beatrice left for omugwo in 2002 and since then she visits Nigeria every 2 years. All her children are now resident in the U.S except for a daughter living in Owerri. She single-handedly catered for 9 children while uncle was gallivanting with his Owerri woman!

l just remembered my late uncle, though it may seem mean but his wife. children and relatives have peace of mind now he has passed on! He was a serial prodigal husband and father! Even when his wife and children who he abandoned for many years after he received his Railway gratuity to live with another woman, forgave him and had him visit them in Houston, TX, the US he did not know how they got there but Uncle continued his prodigal lifestyle which made his children send him back to Nigeria and he blamed his wife for instigating his children against him. That man was a character!

Mintayo:
Yes it is, but I need answer to that question, Why didn't she leave before then?
Did she anticipate or praying that something bad should happen to him?

The timing is not the crux, she need not pray nor anticipate anything because the man was already heading towards that! Why should a man's wife and children be scared of him? Have you thought of his present state as a repercussion of how he has treated his wife and children? Karma is REAL!

Mintayo:
Why didn't she leave before the illness?
Will it be wrong if people see her as the cause of his illness?

Why should they see her as the cause of his illness, l believe a promiscuous lifestyle is risky enough both physically and spiritually.

She did the right thing, let him get one of his numerous girlfriends to take care of him! People take their spouses for granted with the belief that they can mess up and still have open arms waiting for them! It hurts me when l see people easily justifying infidelity because such individuals can not stand the thought of being cheated on.

The family is everything, all those 'side attractions' are pain coated in bliss. Who has ever lived an adulterous lifestyle and feel proud of it in his/her old age?

It reminds me of a story a friend told me about his elder sister and her husband. They have been married for 8 years now and with 3 kids but the husband was still 'wandering' and in one of his adventures he was thoroughly beaten up by some guys amongst who was the aggrieved boyfriend of the lady he was having an affair with. Throughout the 2 weeks he was admitted in the hospital, the wife never called nor visited him in the hospital till he was discharged. He came home to an empty house as the wife and the kids temporarily relocated to a relative's place. Husband and his family con begin pilgrimage to their in-laws for appeasement, it just don't worth it!

A shame!

Shaking my head....all for how much?

Hmm...though it was inconclusive.

Very educational.

Let him serve his people well.

That is 'our daughter', what you hear from Nigerian extended family members, most of them no send the girl when she maybe hustling under the Nigerian scorching sun!

While Kenyans have been enjoying the FULL features, even Skrill (Moneybookers) has gone ahead in giving one the option of converting from whatever your Skrill currency is to the Kenyan shillings and the money sent straight to your phone and one can cash it from any of the over 60,000 Mpesa money agents that is spread across Kenya within minutes of receiving the exchange, the exchange rate is very good and this is giving Paypal headache despite the FULL features!
