Poverty mentality is seriously worrying this one. Please keep such nonsense advise to yourself. You think owning a car is luxury. In advanced countries, it's not a big deal to own a car. Even students own cars and that does not mean that they are living flamboyant lives or not planning their futures. A car is a necessity not a luxury, it's a pity that Nigeria has made it look like it's luxury. |

This is on point. The OP should read this again and again. This is clearly speaking to him but he needs wisdom to understand it. TimiRume: What you are looking for is companionship not a progeny(you just don't know what it is yet) Yes you are aware of a gap but you are mistaking it for something else.
If you dig deeper, you will see a crave for a female partner. And when you dig even further down the root, you will see something unclear, undefined, impossible to grasp by you but if light should prick your heart, you will see your creator's arms wide opened. |

Political analysts, thanks for this analysis. Taylor90: Wike never wanted to support Ebola
Wike knew the entire Rivers choice was Obi that was why it took the G-5 so long to make a stand
Wike was trying to escape from Atikus fury should Atiku win hence he opted for the ruling party knowing it would not be easy for APC to lose since They’re in power
That was why Wike rigged to the bream to make sure APC wins else he will be in trouble
Wike doesn’t hate Obi, even till today you can never see Wike come out in public to insult obi
The other day in Andoni Wike called Obi father of democracy
But same thing Amaechi did to Jonathan that made Wike hate Amaechi is the same thing Wike did to Obi
Na there most Rivers people hate Wike
But lowkey I understand he was trying to evade Atiku’s hell
Wike knows even if he didn’t support Obi and Obi later wins he’ll be safe knowing Obi can’t harm him as a brother |

Apart from economy hardships, a lot of people enter into a relationship with strange motives. Like a lot of people have said, gold-digging is one key thing that both the female and male gender are guilty of. I was trying to enter into a relationship with someone that could possibly lead to marriage, all the guy was interested in was my money. At 38, he was not even a graduate, all he had was SSCE not even an OND, he had no business or employment, he was living in a one room which he could not even afford the rent. He was constantly weighing me down with his endless problems and needs. To make matters worse, he had bad temper and bad attitude. I quickly ended the relationship before going far with him and also blocked him. A lot of people enter into relationships with the wrong motive. |

Politics › Re: Okonjo-Iweala:Attacks Over Photos I Posted shows depth Of Nigeria's polarisation by PricelessGem1: 7:59pm On Jun 24, 2023 |
You are derailing from the topic. Deal with the topic of the post and forget about whether she congratulated Tinubu or not. A topic is being discussed and you are bringing an entirely different issue into it. DeLaRue: From what I understand, the woman has never congratulated the President on his election. Though I stand to be corrected.
That's totally unprofessional.
She is in her current post because the Nigerian government lobbied for her. If the Nigerian government had opposed her appointment she would not have been appointed only on the strength of her qualification for the role.
Whether or not she was happy with the outcome of the Presidential election is a private matter. That should not have stopped her from doing the decent thing by congratulating the declared winner, afterall there is a constitutional process for dissatisfied contestants to challenge the outcome if the wished.
By failing to do the decent thing she debases herself and lends her support to uncivil, anti-democratic tendencies.
I have no particular interest in whether she posts pictures with the President as that's not particularly significant. |

Politics › Re: Ekweremadus: Those people can kill me, I want to remain in the UK - Nwamini by PricelessGem1: 7:02pm On May 05, 2023 |
Hmm... thanks for this detailed information. Truly this was avoidable, but all the same, it was meant to happen. I ony hope the living have learnt some lessons. Och77: SOME LITTLE DETAILS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IN THE EKWEREMADU CASE.
David Ukpo Nwamini is the 21-year-old Lagos street hawker who was to give his kidney to Ekweremadu’s daughter IN London. When he was interviewed at the hospital in London, they asked him if he knew he was to donate his kidney to Sonia Ekweremadu.
He first told them that he had no money to donate. They explained to him that it was his kidney that he was to donate. He asked them what was kidney.
Initially, the doctors thought it was a question of language, since David’s English was not good enough. However, they eventually understood that David did not know which human organ was called kidney.
In other words, he did not know what organ he was to give Sonia. That led the doctors to conclude that the procedure was not well-explained to David and that is the number one requirement by law.
According to the law, you must explain to the organ donor the procedure and all the health risks associated with the procedure. It is only then that the donor is taken to have informedly consented. When the doctors found that David did not understand what he was about to get involved in, they declared him a mismatch.
The term “mismatch” is a technical generic language to indicate that the proposed organ harvesting has not met all the requirements.
Many in Nigeria have misunderstood the term “mismatch” in this case to meant that David’s kidney was not suitable for Sonia.
No! There was nothing wrong with David’s Kidney.
To donate an organ, the facts must match both the law and the science governing the procedure. While the kidney matched the scientific requirement, the facts did not match the legal requirement.
So, it was declared a mismatch. To help you understand it better, the term “mismatch” means there is a discrepancy.
The doctors who interviewed David did not and could not have determined that a crime was committed. The doctors did not have sufficient information to reach such conclusion then.
They felt uncomfortable with the discrepancies in the information they had about the donor and his decisions and whether he had made up his mind.
For instance, the doctors did not get involved in how David was brought to them or whether he was paid. It was not their duty to deal with that. It was actually when Ekweremadu and Dr. Obinna attempted to return David to Nigeria that the problem started.
David expected that he would be given a job in London as he was told before he left Nigeria. They did not give him job and they did not send him to school. Instead of all he was promised, he was asked to prepare to return to Nigeria and David ran away from the house where he was kept.
As hunger wired him, he reported himself to the police. To win the immediate protection of the police, he lied about his age by telling them he was 15.
It was when he was interviewed by the police that the information came out which established that a crime was committed. For instance, it was at the police station that they asked him if he was paid money and he said yes he was paid N270,000. When the police checked the WhatsApp chats between Ekweremadu and Dr. Obeta they realized that Ekweremadu actually paid 4.5 million for Obeta to pay to David. But Obeta only paid David N270,000 and pocketed the rest.
In fact, Ekweremadu tried to keep himself away from certain details of the deal. That was why Ekweremadu never discussed money with David. In fact, he did not deal directly with David. That was what made it possible for Obeta to cheat him. Ekweremadu believed that the 4.5 million went to David. But since he was not dealing with David directly, he never knew that Obeta pocketed most of the money.
However, the law viewed Ekweremadu’s decision not to deal directly with David as a typical behavior of a big man who knew that he is getting involved in a crime. He would usually try to create some distance between him and the crime, yet he will be funding the crime from afar.
Otherwise, how come you never wanted to meet the boy that is giving his kidney to your daughter and whom you called cousin to your daughter (which actually makes him your nephew)? Rather than see the non-direct dealing as evidence of his innocence, it was seen as deliberate or willful ignorance aimed at evading legal responsibility.
One of the key factors that worked against Ekweremadu was that he lied. On three official documents he signed, he stated that David was Sonia’s cousin. But in all the WhatsApp chats he had with the doctor and his own brother over the matter, he referred to David as “that guy”. Hence the question: “You knew he was not Sonia’s cousin. While you signed that he was her cousin, when you wanted to say the truth, you referred to him as “that guy”, meaning you didn’t know him or even remember his name”. Ekweremadu admitted in court that he lied and apologized.
NOTE: I decided to provide these details because I have read somewhere it was being said that David misled Ekweremadu and took advantage of him. No, David is a real victim. He did not manipulate them. He was manipulated by Dr. Obinna Obeta, who was working for the Ekweremadu.

Nairaland General › Re: "Nothing is permanent in this world". by PricelessGem1: 9:28pm On Dec 17, 2022 |
What a great and intelligent post to reflect on. God bless you real good for sharing this. IyaTola: Nothing is Permanent In This World
I visited my 120-year-old grandmother and gave her some money when I was leaving and she told me she doesn't need money again.
That she can no longer buy or sell at her age, so I should give the money to the younger ones who need it.
I also have a former governor friend whom I worked with as a greenhorn PA. He was governor from 1999-2007. Not too long ago, I saw him.
After check-in, he was left seated by the corner of the Murtala Mohammed international airport awaiting his flight.
No one even recognized him again, not even passengers from the State where he was governor, and as I walked up to him and greeted him, then asked if he wanted any assistance, he stretched forth his trembling hands to hold me and simply said,
"Thank you for even recognizing me again. I just want your attention briefly my daughter . Sit down let me ask you something.
How is your Governor doing?"
I also have a retired Major General friend whom I served as a golf caddy at the NDA golf course in Kurmi Mashi, Kaduna. He was so rich he built a beautiful house he was so proud of.
I visited him too not long ago and wanted us to climb to our favorite spot on his balcony upstairs.
He stared at me with a broad smile and said, "IT, I can't remember the year I went up there. It is lizards and cobwebs and the likes that live there now.
Even the kids, when they come, they don't enjoy my company in the house any more than a few hours and they are gone.
I don't have the limbs to climb up there again and the cost of cleaning keeps getting higher."
I have seen a lot more things. How yesterday became the day before, how today became yesterday, and how tomorrow became today.
How the past became history, how the present became the past, and how the future became the present. Nothing ever remains where it is.
Your strength, your muscles, your beauty, your wealth, your guts, your worth, your courage, your talent, your YOU, will progressively diminish until it returns to its source.
The richest man in the world in the 1960s will not be on the payroll of the richest man in the world today!
Even the strongest lion in the jungle will someday become weak, and frail and be eaten by the same predators it once terrorized.
Keep that in mind always and know that no matter how appealing and tempting that thing may seem, our interest in it will diminish with time.
Our strength to consume or own it will vanish with time until everything is surely taken away from us or we are surely taken away from everything!
"Nothing is permanent in this world". Wishing you very Reflective Times.

Very nice concept. Please INEC should adopt this immediately. DebbieBianca: Nigerians Ask INEC Nigeria To Include Candidates' Photos In Ballot Paper
Adding his voice, a Catholic Priest, Fr Kelvin Ugwu wrote, “Dear INEC Nigeria, Our ballot paper should be like this because in the true sense of it, it is actually the individual with his vice that we are voting for. All the elections conducted in Nigeria in the past, the ballot paper just carried only party logos. But it is not the party we vote that leads us after the elections but the individual. Almost all the countries in Africa has both the face, the name of the candidate, his/her running mate, and the party logo on their ballot papers. Please do this for Nigerians.”
