Sad reality

SPEAK UP 2587 - 2589

Act as a wife & respond to your husband from the depth of your heart.

Husband: Dear, I don't want to lie to you. I know I have been telling you jokingly that I have a side chic. The reality is, since I got married to you, I have only one side chic. I have never slept with any other lady/woman/girl, only her.

Do I marry her so that you two can be my wives without cheating or I should just allow you to know her and have rest of mind?
SPEAK UP 2587

When I was much younger, I judged people by their first impression. Nowadays, I don't any more.

Dailyparrot:
I have to create this thread after reading through the topic on front page asking for jobs/professions that will make you not to marry someone.

So, I'm talking to this Unizik student that's studying medical radiography. Everything was going well. She even told me that she has told her mother about me and all. We met on Facebook and she's already asking to see me in person.

Until the day she found out that I use my car for Uber/Bolt business, everything changed. This girl stopped talking to me.

She has never been to Lagos and does not know how Uber works. She was asking how much I earn in a day, and that hope the Uber is not like their normal school cab that charge 100 naira per person, bla bla bla.

Well, I just don't want to let her know my net worth. I don't do Uber full time. I work on Fiverr and because sales dropped there, I decided to use Uber to make up for the income. I also do academic research for foreign students. Etc. I am into a lot of stuffs that fetch me nothing less than 400k a month so I don't think I should be regarded poor.

My house in the East is at roofing level. I am almost completing the payment of 4.5 million for a land I'm purchasing at Mowe, I own my car plus another Sienna I bought when Fiverr was booming.

I have a masters degree. So, should a girl reject me because I use my car to drive on Uber?

I am just laughing at her ignorance. The other time, we were talking and I jokingly asked her why she's putting on make up, and she was like, so she can find better suitors.

I thence assume I am not a better suitor because to her, I'm poor. This is someone earning 8k per month in the school that she was teaching during ASUU strike.

I wonder why women are impatient when it comes to taking decisions and that's why most of them regret later.

I am supposing being a medical student makes this girl think she deserves someone better than just a cab driver.

LOL.

She no follow. Leave that gold digger.
Please, keep making your legit money, the right woman will come soon.
Better days ahead.

Kreddy:
I've been battling with this kind of rashes more than a year now. It keeps on resurfacing after every 5 months. I've been into both private and public hospitals,a doctor once told me it's a familial disease, but none of my family members has ever experienced this kind of disease.

Though I have been experiencing scratches anytime I take my bath since my primary school days and I think I'm getting use to that as a doctor advised that I should stop using spong,it seems there's no solution to that.

But this rashes is taking a lot from me, I'm really perplexed and I don't know what to do. Pls has anyone experienced this,and how did you get cured.
I need suggestions to be free from this reoccurring rashes.
I've been to hospitals both private and public.

Try herbal.

HomoSapiien:
If Tinubu was a coward, he would not voice one bit about the implication of the kind of frenzy and panic some elements in the current government are trying to activate on Nigerians.

Before the presidential primaries, it was rumored that Malami was supporting Emefiele to clinch the presidential ticket, hence we can always say, since Abba Kyari who was the former owner of Emefiele, died, Malami has taken over in putting leash on his neck and directing him wherever he so will.

Nobody is against the new naira policy but question is, why didn’t the circulate the new notes since it was printed out in December? Why is it now that it’s just barely a week to the deadline that they’re trying to compel everyone to get it from the banks, when actually they’re yet to distribute enough to the banks?

Why should they try to frustrate Nigerians, why should they cause unnecessary panic in the public?

There was no real fuel scarcity for the past 6 years, how come it’s starting now?

Now, Tinubu has shown that he’s ahead, confident and not a coward the more reason why he voiced out yesterday. If it were some Lilly liver politician, he would remain muted while these elements make Nigerians angry at him, but now that he's voiced out, expect this who thing to disappear in a few days.

The cabals (Malami and co) know quite well that should Tinubu president, it'd not be business for them as it currently is with Buhari, they're scared and they probably striked a bargain with Atiku and they're eager to work with him so they can have food on their table again.

Because you can see clearly how fast Atiku campaign team quickly replied back to Tinubu outburst. They never expected he would be bold enough to call out the cabal and they know quite well that with that outburst, their game plan is going down.

Don't forget it was until he voiced out prior the primaries before Buhari's cabal go down low, now he's voiced out again and they'd have no option that to go down low. Watch out!

Last last we go dey alright.

Stop suffering the poor masses in all you do.

89% of people state why they will not vote for Tinubu

A post was made to get the opinions of Nigerians why they will not vote some presidential candidates. Over 89% of them air their views why they will not vote for Tinubu in 2023.

You cannot have 3 wives, 2 side chics with 1 hook-up girl & still be complaining of Village People. You are your own problem.

Uncle K, should go and sleep.

By Izunna Okafor


In preparation for the forthcoming general in the country, election the Anambra State Newspapers And Printing Corporation, in collaboration with othe media houses in Anambra State, has organized a political debate for all the senatorial candidates in the state under various political parties.
The debate which took place at the event hall of the National Light Newspaper, Awka, Anambra State attracted many dignitaries, media personnel, members of Civil Society Organizations and other members of the public.
In his opening remarks, the MD and Editor-in-chief of the National Light Newspaper, Sir Chuka Nnabuife said the aim of the event was to access the worth of each candidate, and his intentions and priorities for the people, thereby enabling the electorates make the right choices. He described the debate as more of a discourse and interaction between the aspirants and the masses, noting that it would help to reduce misinformation, fake news and traducement rampant in the Nigerian political scene, as the masses would directly hear from the horse's mouth and score the candidates accordingly.
Reacting to questions at the event, the People Democratic Party's (PDP's) candidate for Anambra Central Senatorial Zone, Senator Uche Ekwunife highlighted some of her experiences in the two national legislative chambers where she had represented Anaocha/Njikoka Dunukofia Federal Constituency and the Anambra Central Senatorial Zone for about 16 years, which she said have sharpened and widened her horizon and knowledge of legislation and quality representation. She further catalogued: passing laws that promote women emancipation and guarantee the future of the youths; youths empowerment and women empowerment as among her utmost priorities for the people.
In his own reactions, Hon. Engr. Tony-Uche Ezekwelu of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) who also aspires to represent the Anambra Central Senatorial Zone in the National Assembly shared his own experiences in the Anambra State House of Assembly as well as his leadership and representative roles in various youth association and forum, including the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo and National Association of Nigerian Students where he hosted many national events and recorded numerous achievements. Among other things, he pointed at: protecting the interest of Ndi Igbo, moving motions for regional autonomy, all round empowerment, and moving motion to restrict politicians sending their children abroad for studies, as among his utmost priorities.
Both also bared their minds on restructuring, security, constituency projects and other relevant legislative-related issues, with respect to how they individually intend to intend to bring a change in those areas.
Speaking to newsmen, the Chairman of Civil Society Organizations (CSO's) in Anambra State, Prince Chris Azor and the Senior Special Assistant on Secondary Education to Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, Dr. Paul Ifeanyi described the event as apt, owing to the fact that it would be of enormous significance in enhancing a rightful choice of candidature, holding the politicians accountable and calling them to order if they go win and begin to do some thing antithetical.
They however frowned at and condemned the manner and the rate at which some politicians do give unjustifiable alibis at the eleventh hour when invited to a debate, and how some inexplicably absent themselves from such debates to which they are invited to interact with the masses whose mandates they seek, thereby disappointing both the organizers who committed a lot of resources in organizing that, and the patriotic masses who are inquisitively yawning to hear from them, noting that whoever does such has no regard for the people, has nothing to offer and only registers his 'wont' of disappointment.

WAEC: ornamental object of no great value.
Ordinary WAEC Certificate! Who is that FOOL jubilating online because of WAEC, when there are millions in Nigeria with 1st degrees, Masters & Ph.Ds?
A useless Paper that took almost 3 years for the silly West African Examinations Council to produce just an attestation?
We play too much in this Country and we celebrate mediocrities to the very bones and marrows.

Flash back. November 22, 2018 is another day.

58 Gbosas For The Okiroro Of Isokoland

By Ajiri-Oghene J. Oreh

A political reading of the revolutionary thinker, Frantz Fanon's much quoted essay, "Pitfalls of National Consciousness" in his delectable book, The Wretched Of The Earth (1967) reveals an accurate prediction of the options available to Africa's political elite of either defending or betraying their nations. True, for more than five decades since the timely publication of the insightful essay, many political leaders and the elite have had cause to follow the primrose and broad ways of betraying their nations again and again for mess of potage. However, those with the milk of patriotism who have walked sedately on the rough path of defending their nations are quite few but very significant. It is among these few redoubtable heroes and heroines that one locates Chief (Comrade) Ovuozourie Samuel Macaulay, the highly respected Okiroro of Isokoland, who turns fifty-eight on October 25, 2018. For more than three decades, Chief Macaulay has been tenaciously defending his Isoko nation; the third largest ethnic group in Delta State and advancing the great cause of the Niger Delta. He has remained exemplary in this regard.

The narrative or story of Chief Ovuozourie Macaulay is inspiring and enchanting. It is a story of commitment, of dedication, of devotion, of determination, of tenacity, of great struggle, and a profile of selfless service and genuine patriotism. Yes, struggle. For more than thirty years, Comrade Ovuozourie Macaulay has dedicated his life and devoted his energy to titanic struggles as a journalist, a unionist, and later as a activist politician. He is not afraid of struggles, as he struggles for a just and egalitarian state, and for the economic empowerment and development of his Isoko people in particular.

Quite early in his journalistic career, Macaulay resolved his choice in favour of the poor and suffering masses, the proletarians, of truth, of fairness and of justice as he intransigently engaged military. He was a bold antagonist and a thorn in the fleshes of irresponsible military governments and their functionaries. He was objective in his career as a journalist and he courageously fought for the sanctity and preservation of the Nigerian press. Under his watch as Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Delta State Chapters, both associations were the most articulate, vibrant, and reliable branches in the the federation. Like his immediate mentor and great predecessor in the Nigerian labour movement, the late irrepressible Comrade Michael Atakhomien Omnibus Imoudu of Edo State, the implacable labour activist, Comrade Macaulay fought until victories were won. An untiring and unparalleled organiser, Comrade Macaulay never lost the struggles including that of the epic Niger Delta Resource Control and Fiscal Federalism rallies, and strike actions that he led. Little wonder the former president of NLC and current national chairman of All Progressive Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomole, described him as "an authentic comrade and political activist who is humble, courageous and appreciative" during the grand reception Macaulay organized in honour of Chief James Onanefe Ibori on Saturday 18th November, 2017. Oshiomole's description aptly captures the man of the moment, Comrade Ovuozourie Macaulay.

A man of tremendous goodwill and unwavering integrity, Chief Macaulay's ascent to politics marked a critical political watershed for the Isoko nation, who, for too long, has been a nation with tumultuous political fortunes. He stands for progressive politics and the collective interests and aspirations of his people take precedence. He was conscious of the Isoko identity and the imperative of safeguarding it. He saw himself first as an Isokoman, went into politics as an Isokoman and continue to plan and play politics as an Isokoman. Soon, Chief Macaulay became a political rallying point. He galvanized Isoko sons and daughters in forging a common front and making Isoko a global brand. He is committed to this redemptive mission as he works extremely hard and makes deft moves in strategically networking with significant political players of other ethnic groups that make up the larger Delta State and Nigeria for its full realisation. The point should be made that before Chief Macaulay ventured into politics, he and other patriotic Isoko sons and daughters have been struggling for the growth and advancement of Isoko. Thus, his ascent to active politics and subsequent appointments to political offices were opportunities of using the instrument of government in developing his nation and politically and economically empowering his people.

Thus, as a public functionary, first as Commissioner of Inter-Ethnic Relations and Conflict Resolution (2003-2007) during the second tenure of Chief James Ibori, later as Chief of Staff of Government House (2007), Commissioner of Power and Energy (2007-2011), and Secretary to the State Government (2011-2015) under Dr. Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan's administration, Chief Ovuozourie Macaulay used these public/political offices to improve the lot of his people by influencing significant developmental projects and political appointments and recruitments of employable and unemployed Isoko youths. Macaulay has rendered in graceful prose, an account of his stewardship in a pamphlet with the elegant title, My Stewardship: Facts Behind The Figures. This piece is yet to be contradicted by cynics and critics three years since its publication in 2015.

Again, that Chief Macaulay served in two different civilian administrations are lucid and eloquent testimonies that he performed superlatively and exceptionally. Three years after he exited the corridors of state power in grand style, Chief Macaulay remains politically relevant as a confidante of His Excellency, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, the incumbent Governor of Delta State, just as he continues to offer uncommon political leadership to his homeland, Isoko. He is also among the few significant politicians in Delta State being consulted on political and electoral matters. Today, there is no politician in Isoko who has not benefited from Chief Macaulay politically.

Respectfully called and highly regarded as "leader", Chief Macaulay is a politician of note whose political sagacity, courage, astuteness, resourcefulness, wisdom, and sparkling brilliance have all helped him emerged as a national political figure of Isoko extraction, standing tall and rubbing minds with key political actors of our dear nation, Nigeria. He is a political leader with charismatic qualities which have made him a popular crowd puller. His movements to social and political functions are usually spectacular with long convoys by his political lieutenants and teeming followers.

A notable and untiring grassroot mobiliser, and a committed chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), who has contributed enormously to the party especially electoral successes in Isokoland, Chief Macaulay has served in countless committees of the party including the Accreditation Sub-Committee of the 2018 PDP Elective National Convention that saw Alhaji Atiku Abubakar the nation's former Vice President emerging as the party's presidential flagbearer for the 2019 general election. The committee was headed by the Speaker of Federal House of Representative, Right Honourable Yakubu Dogara

Politics is about structure, and Chief Macaulay has a formidable political structure in Delta State. In 2003, he floated a political pressure group called Isoko Grassroot Movement (IGM) which toiled day and night with uncommon political and missionary zeal, campaigning for Chief Ibori and other aspirants of the PDP. And the People's Democratic Party won convincingly and overwhelmingly in Isoko. IGM, now ably chaired by the political strategist, Deacon Sunday Elueni, has given birth to other political pressure groups of note such as the most politically advanced Isoko Advancement Network (IAN) that boasts of the most significant Isoko political leaders, leading academics, technocrats, and legal luminaries like Sam Idise, the group's acting national chairman; Professor Samuel Aghalino, Chairman of the Governing Council of College of Education, Warri; Chief Paul Odhomor, an astute accountant and renowned consultant; Sir Patrick Ferife, former Commissioner of Special Infrastructure; Honourable Mike Ogwah; Mr. Emmanuel Egbagbor, Executive Chairman of Isoko North Local Government Council; Chief Emmanuel Edevor; and Dr. Evelyn Aluta, former Chairman of Delta State Post Primary Education Board; among others.

Other Isoko affiliated political pressure groups include: Isoko Patriotic Front, Macaulay Political Vanguard, Isoko Development Forum, Isoko Political Exodus, Macaulay Ladies Organization, and Macaulay Media Vanguard (the media arm of the groups) which are respectively led by Honourable Daniel Tutumor, Hon. Harryman Okoro, Mr. Sunday Omonakome, Mr Dickson Ebegbare, Mrs Caroline Ako, and Mr. Iteveh Ekpokpobe, an ace political journalist. These groups have ubiquitous presences, membership drawn from virtually every clan in Isoko, and they continue to enjoy and receive generous support from Chief Macaulay as patron and General Alex Ogomudia, former Chief of Defence Staff, as grand patron.

In 2015, foresighted Isoko traditional rulers came together in Owhe Kingdom and conferred on Macaulay the significant chieftaincy title of Okiroro which means "a great thinker, someone with a lot of wisdom and commonsense". Chief Macaulay has also been honoured several times across the nation, including an Award of Excellence by the Faculty of Management Science of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT, Enugu, which was conferred on him last year, and the SSG of the year by Global Excellence Magazine, Lagos. For now, let's rise up and make a toast to Chief Ovuozourie Samuel Macaulay, the Okiroro of Isokoland, at fifty-eight! Big Congratulations, Our Leader!!!

That's equivalent of 50m today. Give me that and I'll create a new chart in 4years.

So sad.

500,000 in 1977 is like 200,000000 in 2018
him try sha, some abokis would ve invested that money on kano groundnut pyramid

Hmm

In 1977 (41) years ago, Dangote Started Business With N500,000 Loan.
Five hundred thousand naira in 1977 is not having the same value with the current five hundred thousand naira of today. Buhari has finally destroyed the economy of the nation.

Imagine someone who borrowed half a million naira in 1977, who is still toping the chat in Africa as the richest black man in the world.

It is not really about the amount of money you invest in your business. But, the focus, determination, and innovation you invest in it.

There are several individuals who started their business almost the same time with Dangote, some even started with amount of money way more than what Dangote started with. But, they are no where to be found.

The first International Day of Rural Women was recognised on the15th October, 2008. Its establishment is to recognise
“the critical role and contribution of rural women, including indigenous women, in enhancing agricultural and rural development, improving food security and eradicating rural poverty.”

Rural women, the majority of whom rely on natural resources and agriculture for sustainability, cover the quarter of the world's demographic population. In developing countries such as most of the countries in Africa, rural women are approximately 43% of the agricultural labour force, and produce, process and prepare much of the farm produce available, thereby directly giving them responsibility for farm produce security. Bearing in mind that 76% of the extreme poor dwell in rural areas, enhancing them properly would ameliorate the more world hunger and poverty, and make rural women critical for the success of the novel Sustainable Development agenda for 2030. "The empowerment of rural women and girls is essential to building a prosperous, equitable and peaceful future for all on a healthy planet."
— UN Secretary-General, António Guterres

Through the founding of the IDRW the immense efforts of women and girls around the globe have been recognized as ones who are directly responsible for the betterment of the lives of all and sundry global-wise. Let's speak of the food production most importantly and commonly: who would survive fine to the extent of being comfortable enough to dress corporate in corporate settings and operate without foods of some sort being in the belly to energise? Let's speak of helping to keep the world to see another day, these gender sort are basically responsible for doing that through various green plantations, both small and big, which help to make our atmosphere to become stronger as some other genders and the same gender are busy making the same grow weaker. Let's speak of maintaining the production of different forms of finished goods, with them not being idle, the system would crumpled and there would be problems as demands will kill supply. These things and more are what the women in those rustic settings, covered up in tattered rags overnight, with falling rafters as their ceilings, with different sorts of diseases growing within and outside of them do in order to make things balance for all in life. These women of sort this organization has been founded to look for and help to experience betterment when it comes to health care services, education on different sectors to improve their working skills and boost production, finance, and so forth.

Everyone wants to come to the urban centre to enjoy its sophistication. On getting there they tend to loose too much and forget the rural which supply the basics of what they depend on as they enjoy their independence there. Apart from the facts that it had to be the choice of majority of them to stay behind, yet there should be a level of recommendation given them for staying and not just staying back, but staying to see that production keeps on happening to fill the system proper. Awareness may be absence of their works for the sake of all and sundry. Education on their importance might make them to want do do more. There is where this establishment comes in to aid actively. "Small holder agriculture produces nearly 80 per cent of food in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and supports the livelihoods of some 2.5 billion people. Women farmers may be as productive and enterprising as their male counterparts, but are less able to access land, credit, agricultural inputs, markets and high-value agrifood chains and obtain lower prices for their crops."

However, "Despite developments on some fronts, gender inequalities remain pervasive in every dimension of sustainable growth; and in many areas, progress is too slow to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
Delivering on the gender equality commitments of the 2030 Agenda stands or falls by the allocation of sufficient resources for their achievement and concerted action by governments and all stakeholders. Essential services on which millions of rural women and girls depend—health, education, childcare, shelters—are chronically underfunded or simply unavailable. Where they exist, they are often the first to be hit by austerity measures, which are once again on the rise. In 2018 alone, 124 countries are expected to be cutting their budgets, eroding social protection measures and essential services on which so many rural women and girls depend. This is not inevitable. In virtually all countries, there is scope for raising or reallocating resources to strengthen public services that are essential for women and girls. It is a matter of political will and of using all the available policy tools. The cost of inaction is simply too high."

International Day for Disaster Reduction 2018: All you need to Know

International Day of Disaster Reduction (IDDR) started in 1989, right after a direction by the United Nations General Assembly for a day for the promotion of risk-awareness and disaster reduction across continents. It was at first said to be on done on every second Wednesdays of the month of October but it was later fixed for every 13th of the same month. This had come into effect in order to find a way to lessen the loss caused through disasters worldwide.

The day celebrates how people and communities in different societies are ameliorating their exposure to disasters and raising their consciousness in surmounting in the risks that they are battling with at their different locations wherever. This year’s, (2018) edition, as quoted from IDDR’s website, “continues as part of ‘Sendai Seven’ campaign, centered on the seven target of the Sendai Framework. This year will focus on Target C of the Sendai Framework, reducing disaster economic losses in relation to global GDP by 2030.” 2016 saw to its launch by UNISDR centered on the same seven targets, of which the first is ameliorating disaster mortality around the globe: this has claimed the lives of many around the continents worldwide, leaving no age class behind. Disaster as we would be aware of, knows know age. It has got no conscience as people do. So, its victims are never picked at random. This reason and more are the reasons which make the IDDR to case it a thing of responsibility to put this under consideration first, for the sake of the safety of all or any.

More over, last year’s was targeted at prevention, protection and reducing the number of head count affected by disasters. These are necessary considerations by the IDDR in order to wade in with their aiding hands to help make things better and life what living for the victims. They try and pose as rather the last resort for relief from the existence of the international body to the area, locality, community or the society affected by the disaster of whatever sort.

The Sendai Seven Campaign is an occasion for all and sundry, more directly, governments, grass-root government, community groups, civil society associations, the privy sectors, the international organisation and the UN (United Nations) family to advance best practices, at the international, local and national level across all the sectors, in order to help ameliorate the risk of losses and risks of disaster.
