A lot of them brother, the problem is most times from us.

We lack the qualities of a good leader.

Every woman stepping into the home of her husband comes in with some fear and good measure of respect. But the trash them quickly because the men act below the expectations.

A good leader is first of a all a servant.

Once you see yourself reminding your wife every ten minutes that you are the head of the home then you have completely failed already.

To lead a woman, you should first of all assure her in your doings that your are the leader but yet she's an equal partner.

When she's bout to do something you can say "hold it there" and explain to her the risks involved in what she's about to do and provide a better alternative. If you are gentle, she will listen to you.

Call her in, table what you plan to do before her and seek her opinion, she will definitely have something to add, combine them with yours and do it.

If it works, thank her mightily for her contribution and if it fails, don't let feel her feel like she's the one that ruined it.

It takes gradual process to build.

When she comes to you with a plan, suggest a better alternative if you have and is sure that it is better otherwise tell her that she should go ahead that you trust her judgements.

Those little things means a lot to them and a woman would hardly let go of a man she can rely on.
I no gree
When a woman makes that decision she accepts that she will respect the man

Saying that the man acts below expectations hence she thrashes him say more about her.

She made the choice

Thank u o. Simple Analysis and some people would be taking it personal like their lives depended on it.
They'll now come and be telling us Arsenal should be regarded as a Big Club because they ve a new Stadium and ve won the oldest trophy in the world the most times......and he said i was the illiterate angry
Lool! Absurd to say the least grin grin
Now back to the original arguement. I want ur honest opinions. Who is the bigger club between Liverpool and Arsenal??
You have to specify a parameter


Liverpool is ranked lower on euro club
They have lower coefficients
They are valued much lower
They have not won the top tier titlesince the early 90s. Arsenal has won 3


But they have 5 euro cups

Not epl for last 10 yrs nd no semi final since 2006 yet day use to be top seeded until dis season nd u see d outcome....
Well ATM afc are bigger just cos of epl ...

Even with d one u listed ajax still surpass afc, except for d ucl constitence
BTW dis is d club afc scavenge on for players....
Day av dere stadium, financially bouyant nd av one of d best academy
Seeding is based on performance in Europe and factors which help epl over dutch league


Whch factors do ajax surpass arsenal aside no of trophies in Europe

Maybe the academy

Their academy is world class and the products doing well

Let me hard two more.....

Success in Europe and,

Success in respective countries(league and domestic competitions).

Do those count??
They do count but on what basis

Ajax last won in 1995 how have they done since then
The seeding system tells u how teams perform in Europe currently

However if you compare ranking of European performances from inception.. Yes Ajax will be ranked higher than Arsenal


On League yes.. this exists already however the Dutch League is rated lower than the English League

MizMyColi:


It's not about PDP or APC, I drop my opinion on issues and move on.
It's too late for me to be non-partisan....not with APC in government and the string of lies/propaganda we're bombarded with daily.
I am partisan because I am a strong supporter of GEJ's unsung heroic deeds.
I unconsciously assumed that posture when I saw that there was a deliberate attempt to paint the man as something worse than evil.
Until I see Buhari or APC surpass his record, I will remain a strong supporter of his ideology (not really his person).

I won't be the first to forgive a man because of a heroic deed.
Jesus did on the cross.
Remember I alluded they are all the same...
However (the "my ambition.....) is what sets GEJ apart.

Besides, the last administration under GEJ did a lot of good which for reasons best known to "them" has remained under wraps.
They show us only what they want us to see...
Some of us go beyond and question their motive.

For example, someone made a passing statement and I reiterate::::
I feel people should start asking questions why some thieves are untouchable...
It is almost impossible to be partisan and objective
PoliticsRe: APC, FG Hounded Alamieyeseigha To Death - Fayose by pickabeau1: 2:03pm On Oct 13, 2015
If you love politics. you will know that being objective and having an issue-based discussion is the way to go.

We are tired of our leaders using going religious, gender or ethnic group to divide the people

We don't need such also from the youth
If you want to make a difference, you should be non partisan



MizMyColi:
Besides, @Pickabea
I love politics cool
I'm not one sha ogrin

It's the same way some people discuss Tuface and Co like their lives depended on it.

I would rather discuss people and issues that impact on the common man.
There's some nobility in that, don't you think?wink

Some of us nurse hopes of genuinely making a difference y'know.
PoliticsRe: APC, FG Hounded Alamieyeseigha To Death - Fayose by pickabeau1: 2:00pm On Oct 13, 2015
History will always remember the sacrficie by GEJ but make no mistake his administration also includes the 6 years he spent
It only amounts to Revisionism to only include his heroics act of accepting electoral defeat


Anyone who actually believes it is a quick fix to Nigerian issues is really naïve

is it not members of the old PDP who joined the pdp
Or are the chieftains of the ACN also not politicians?



Patience of people wearing out is expected

We have had 16 years of democracy and only the ruling elite and their cronies/family members are the beneficiaries

So why push the anger of 16 years on someone who has spent less than a year huh


MizMyColi:
The heat is on PMB now because he and his party did not particularly speak in Unison with the GEJ led FG on the menace of insecurity. Political points were scored. People became more against the Government than they were against the perpetrators of this act.
Before GEJ left office, Bokoharam had been silenced to a reasonable degree, why the uprising again?
Another point of worry is this, if OBJ....the chief catastrophy causer in PDP has now moved his tent to APC, as well as other founding members of the PDP, isn't it clear to you that we are still fighting the same demons in different uniform?

The current government gave Nigerians the impression, both expressly and written that they have a quick fix to Nigeria's problems.
Asides rabble rousers who started criticising this govt up and down before swearing in...the truth is that people's patience are already wearing out....and genuinely so.

I agree with you on one thing....and that is the fact that they are self serving folks.
This is where GEJ stands out. He made the ultimate sacrifice.
He stood by his words, during and after his last days.

Take these ^^^ away and see if you'll see my toes on this section.
Agreed, by extension, we engage in some dilly-dally, but in all, I try not to forget the sole reason I'm here.

That's why we see teams (especially Chelsea) using the same tactics to defeat his boys over and over again.

Also, during that period of trophylessness, all our players do is pass... pass... pass... pass... No one shoots. And we get beaten at the end or drop valuable points. How could he allow that continue consecutively?? Na wickedness be thishuh?

@MizMyColi


You need to get the way politics here is done
It is full of bile and can never be objective

Until you understand that no one, I repeat no one of the elite in this country is self serving and does not have the interest of the people (even his own tribe) you guys will keep on arguing

Ob objectivity, while I agree the current administration needs to be on its toes, I don't think you have been as objective as you'd like
Sins which the past administrations(16 years - I don't see it as only GEJ but OBJ, YA and GEJ) committed are being forgotten and the current guys are being stoned for the same sins


The same time being beseeched for GEJ in his years after being made the substantive president.. no such grace for PMB
The amount of people killed by terrorists in the last 6 years.. conveniently forgotten.. PMB to blame

This list goes on

A lot of people expected more from the man from Daura but he is just what he is,.. a politician

And guess what.. politicians lie

On the notion issue............However I hear what you have said






MizMyColi:
Pick, let me ask you
Is MY Notion the same as THE notion?
Or do you want it to be my notion?

Look at this example; "The notion that Obama is an antichrist has held sway among certain groups for a while now, however, his actions as a man who revers familial bonds keeps correcting such"
Does the emboldened also make it my notion? my belief?

The ethnic angle was raised by the person I quoted, I had a choice to act in denial or attack such head on.
Asides this thread, have you ever seen me mention anything about the Yorubas or any other tribe anywhere?

There is the notion that the Igbos are arrogant and will do anything to make money.
Does that make it entirely true or false?

If a person told me "MizColi corrects the notion that Igbos are Arrogant, I would take it as a compliment.
I am making myself clear here because I do respect you, and we've come a long way.

But if it gives you a sense of peace and quiet to fix me to a particular tag, then by all meanssmiley
It's your prerogative after all.

Pick,
Did you not read my comment?

I said "Correcting THE NOTION that the Yoruba people are so and so"
And you interpret that to mean I am calling the Yoruba people "treacherous and deceitful"?

All I did was to clearly point out the utter bias in modaths statement.

This attack on my person as a tribalist and all the innuendos you made above is clearly as a result of your refusal to read, comprehend and understand.
I never called you a ethnicist
You did

By expressing surprise that Fayose is countering your notion that SW are treacherous an unfaithful

It was your notion not mine which is to relate with everyone as I meet them
The best people who have been kind to me in my journey of life have actually been people of other ethnic groupings so I will not come online to bandy ethnic notions

I read and comprehended very well

I just expressed surprise which was my opinion

Afterall you are also entitled to your opinion of a tribe or a person


NOUN
NOTION - 1.a conception of or belief about something:
"children have different notions about the roles of their parents"

He speaks his mind on the passage of a fallen comrade, and stands with the southerners on the selective political vendetta they're going through in the hands of this government, and his lineage must now be questioned?

Madam, FYI, it is people like Fayose, My Best Friend, and a certain NLER that makes me retract whenever I want to speak in favour of Biafra.
Fayose keeps correcting the notion that the Yorubas are treacherous and deceitful. He makes me have high hopes for the ONE NIGERIA project.
He is a man of his words, he is no fair weather politician. He stands up for what he perceives as right, even if he stands alone.
He is no bandwagoner
