Foreign Affairs › Re: 'The Queen Died Due To Old Age': See Death Certificate Of Queen Elizabeth II by Reference(m): 4:52pm On Sep 29, 2022
A good way to have passed on.
But it is not common for women to have a shorter lifespan than their spouses.
The Duke passed on at a hundred while she fell four years short of this.

This is not an entirely sensi.....ble...tive reply since he knows there are sectional demographics around both serious anti-social issues.
A better response in summary should be, 'to strengthen institutions and foster the rule of law.'
That is what Nigeria needs to head off both problems.
That is the umbrella that covers both with equanimity and without prejudice.

Some. people saying the husband is not matured blah blah blah...
Maturity with taking shits, simp with depression and disrespectful bahhuh undecided
I'll rather remain a child cuz if a woman do me shit I'll pay back in folds.... fvck maturity!!!
Sorry to bother you, but your inability you said to 'take it'..... I'm afraid is immaturity.... in any kind of relationship.
There is no way to colour it.
For there is no kind of relationship on earth without misunderstandings, ego trips, communication fails, etc.
The only way to avoid it is to remain a hermit.
That is a FACT OF LIFE.

MrBrownJay1:
bro, a married couple should look at making sure that their family AND children is the most important thing in their lives... mummy and daddy not talking to one another (for months on end) is highly childish. i understand that the husband is repaying back his wife with her own medicine, but at the end of the day, only the family&kids will suffer.

sometimes women are very childish, irrational and emotionally incoherent, but you have to accept that this is how this gender is, and live with it. giving the silent treatment to your spouse is ok for a few days, but for weeks and/or months is very immature. Sometimes you just have to be the bigger person in the room.
The most valuable reply.
Most other folks do not understand relationships.
In which there is no such thing as a balance of emotions.
Someone, somewhere, at every passing moment is subsidizing the stress demands.
A good relationship is one in which this subsidy ebbs and flows between the parties.
At every point in time, someone just has to 'act the fool'.

Back to the origins. It is not possible for both parties to be equally stressed.
One of them is not telling the truth, the other should have subsidized the lie instead.

Sorry for that, I corrected my response.
It is patriotic for you to report the things you know.

foxxydude:
CBN should go after their corrupt staffs that held facilitate those loans at 40% or more kick back to pay full principal after 2 years. These officials also assured that govt will not recover the loans grin
I and some guys were offered this loans at 40% kickback which I declined, when govt wants their money back the guys in CBN will be nowhere
Did they give those officials cash? If not records of such kick-back transfers should be made available to the EFCC when they come calling.
Nigeria is rotten, top to bottom under a government that came to power with a promise that these things will be ended.... but alas.
It appears the CBN has no internal surveillance mechanism to check that disbursed funds are not misappropriated.
Politics › Re: Adamu, APC Accuses Tinubu Of Breaching Agreements On Campaign Council by Reference(m): 8:41am On Sep 29, 2022
Okealaaye:
Tinubu is too much the uncommon Strategist to play into the hands of enemies who pose as friends! How did they expect anyone to forget the shenanigans and bitings that preceded the recent Convention so soon? Abdullahi Adamu and the Villa Cabal who so easily upstaged Buhari and appropriated his presidency in the process, must prove fidelity to loyalty to be considered as bedfellows. A quest for Nigerian presidency is like nuclear war. The hand must be on the nuke all the time.
Are you saying Mr. Tinubu can win without his party. He has presented an alternative 'structure' that is isolationist and unacceptable to the folks who should galvanized support for him. How does that work?

Mr Tinubu had better pipe down. Once the establishment feels they cannot control him or at least have a stake in him they will surely work against him. They own Nigeria.

That is why I said long ago that for Mr. Tinubu to ultimately succeed he should have distanced himself from this administration and its power block particularly after the 2019 elections and charted an independent course for himself and his power block so that he gains traction with Nigerians in general.

But he hung on and depended on the establishment till the bitter end. Now that Nigerians have identified him with the failings of this administration where is he going to get the backing to battle the establishment for control over his future government.

He is between and betwix and had better play ball or else.

The other side don't care. Their own is to remain in power no matter who has the power. If they can't get it from him they will move on. Has anyone heard them openly oppose the Atiku bid....?

PerfectStranger:
You’re the one capping here. He’s seeing it from legal angle.
Falz is one of the outspoken musicians who speak up for the youths, so stop playing.
Oga, let us be pragmatic here.
Whether the case is won or lost is less important than the danger the continued existence of those drugs poses.
The longer they exist the greater the temptation to send them back on the streets no matter where they are kept.
Nigeria has a well storied history of missing narcotics from lock up on orders from the highest authorities.
The NDLEA boss knows this.

Personally instead of burning I will prefer dissolving in the Atlantic ocean. You can't guarantee burning and burying will ruin everything.

Politics › Re: Muslim-Muslim Ticket: We’re Talking With PDP, Says Lawal by Reference(m): 1:50pm On Sep 28, 2022
The problem with the APC is that the hero worship of the current leadership has blinded the current aspirant to the kind of governance that has marginalised northern religious minorities, ignoring their daily trauma and exposure to wanton violence over the past 7 years and beyond. They thought that the dominance of the northern religious majority is absolute, unending and will never be challenged.

But if they look closer to understand, they will see that the elites and intellectuals in the north have a completely different disposition, one where they accommodate religious minorities and have given them leadership positions in such organisations as the ACF and others over the years. The present religious trauma is indeed recent brought on by extremist elements within the APC that have upset the delicate balance of 'the majority have their say, through the mouth of the minority'.

That is why of all those who are vocal in saying the muslim-muslim ticket doesn't matter almost all are southerners, with a sprinkling of northerners at the dining table. Whereas the vast majority of northerners know this issue is highly divisive and even amongst the religious majority they rather choose to be silent rather than pour more fuel on the fire started by ill advised decision.

Axis313:
This man is still sore and yet to come to terms with the fact that Tinubu didn't pick him as vice presidential candidate.
Politics is just a game of strategy,Jagaban picks the one he knows will win votes for him in the north,incidentally the man happens to be of the same religion with him.If he had chosen Babachir Lawal or Dogara or any similar person from the zone,he would have lose woefully even before election day.
My one cent though.
Why will he lose if he had chosen a Northern religious minority.
The answer you give is the same as what the PDP is saying.
Without restructuring injustice that has brought this country to its knees will persist,
No one will even be left satisfied.
Without restructuring Nigeria will continue to drift between the two prime evils of mankind, fear and greed.

Kasssandra:
To face a national assembly filled with PDP and APC members who will frustrate the hell out of him till he joins either one of their parties.

Presidents don't work in a vacuum. If you are shouting vote Peter Obi, without also working for the victory of Labour Party in the senate, house of reps and governorship as well as state assemblies, you might as well be wasting your vote.

That is how Balarabe Musa, governor of old Kaduna state and PRP man, thought he could run the state with NPN members. Till they showed him pepper....
Absolutely said the same thing and a lot more a few weeks back.
Just don't know how it will all work out in a constitutional democracy.
Anyway Nigeria is as peculiar as a Governor waking up a Democrat, having lunch as a Republican and going to bed as an ex-governor.
If Obi wins, by sunset he will have a majority in parliament and half the governor's forum.
Weird country.

And your leaders in Abuja, the few folks you gleefully vote for are borrowing trillions to give their contractor friends to 'build infrastructure' and 'sustain wars' causing catastrophic inflation that undermines your bosses and employers ability to keep you engaged in a job.... what a pity.

We have shown them time and again how to get the economy up and running and putting the teeming masses of people to work but I guess the black man doesn't know how to build a viable economy and a just and equitable society.

Favourchris:
U are just a child
Sorry to say so but he has a point, a bitter pill to swallow if you know how democracy works for good governance and the role of citizen advocacy in regulating the quality of life of all citizens.

When a government is conditioned not to respond to criticism and advocacy its impunity grows to affect all the vulnerable in society including ex-military and their families.

Whether we like it or not Nigeria is a country built for government and its pleasure. Once you are not in government you count for little. We should change this narrative so that patriotism is redefined as fealty to Nigeria not to government or any single individual, but to all, treated equally with respect and dignity.

So when the police, military or other agents of the state go out to effect the pleasures of the government they should be wary about conditioning those officials to becoming intolerant and insensitive. For what goes round can come around.

Nigeria troops are really suffering in war front.

No good food, Poor Intel, weapons and Arms. The Money budgeted for this welfare are being looted by their Corrupt generals In the Army.
Who knows.
In those days we used to get water purification pills as standard in campo rations.
These days you cannot identify a single standard kit on a Nigerian infantry fighting soldier despite more and more money expended.
We are talking about institutional crises here.

And they are fighting on Nigerian soil.
So you can imagine what it will be if the were operating beyond our shores with longer lines of logistics.

Very bold of Afenifere and the absolute truth.
You simply cannot be asking for an incomplete rotation.

If equity means the presidency should come south then the south east should be supported.
The south-west has had 8 years, the south-south had 6 years so it is just to have the south-east in power now that they have a decent candidate.

Why in heaven's name are they not formally sitting down with the leading Presidential candidates to trade support for their demands.

I tell you if they are seen bargaining with the opposing candidates the government will have a serious rethink as this will lead to a cascade of labour related upheavals and horse trading that will bring the present government rushing to sort out the mess for fear of losing power.
