Read your post and a few replies and you've been shot down before gaining altitude.

My simple reply is that compare the quality of phones used by girls and boys of the same status and that is your answer. Stop making excuses poverty and wealth is universal. I've known poor and rich families with children of both s.exes. They experience equal measure of stress.

Whatever happens to GEJ after 2011 election, what remain of FFK is gone. There is a monster called politics, a game with in-group and out-group. Your party members and tribe, wherever they belong are your in-group while others are your out-group. You don't denegrate your tribe by throwing cautions into the wind in order to please your party members. You will always need them even if they don't support you now. That is why I believe Northern politicians are wise. How many of them have been speaking from all orifices in their body like FFK, Doyin Okupe and other attack dogs? These people know they we always need their people no matter their present political differences.
Just tired of it all but....the APC and its supporters started it all. It won't end tomorrow. I said so.

That's what I say. Men and women are equally capable of damning acts of terror. Women in particular should not be choosy on how to project their darker sides because they are equal and thus equally capable of evil.

Bros you and many people here talk about getting hard evidence,

how do you gather such evidence.... ?

now lets be real..

I have seen seen a gal that slept in a guys house overnight and claimed nothing happened (no touching, no hugging..) well its possible she is saying the truth..... after all a lady has slept in my room before and i didn't have sex with her (not that i didnt touch her)

The husband of someone i know will carry alomo in his pocket, goto an hotel room with books and you will see a lady coming of the hotel, but he will claim they are there to negotiate stuffs or that he is there to read but the lady just came for only a visit, funny enough the guy's wife will believe him.. now he maybe saying the truth, only God can tell what truly happened...

Now what i am trying to stress is, you cannot really get that hard evidence you people talk about unless it was a 3some or you had set a camera in their room or you laced your gf with magun.

What i often tell people is, don't give people the chance to suspect you!
Dont play with smoke while saying to yourself, there is no fire under!!
There is what we call IMPROPER RELATIONSHIPS & COMPROMISING POSITIONS but some ladies of today call it friendship and yes they maybe correct. I am not advocating that people shouldn't mix up with opposite sex BUT lets set boundaries that is OPEN/OBVIOUS for everyone to see!!!
Exactly. Because if it is hairy, smells like a goat and bleats you don't need the remaining sense, of sight to know its a goat except if there is an elaborate, well thought and executed plan to hoodwink the blind man. He will be 90% correct. Is there such a plan in that office to hoodwink the friend. Highly unlikely.

Perception is a very powerful thing. We create it consciously and unconsciously all the time so why should we assume it wouldn't work when we 'donot need it to show'. She will act lovey dovey to the fiance and boss and want a good response from onlookers in one and a neutral response in the other. Haba.

12 An improper romantic relationship could develop at
your place of employment. In fact, a secular study
revealed that more than half of adulterous women and
nearly 3 out of 4 adulterous men had illicit relations with
a workmate. Does your secular work require that you
associate with members of the opposite sex? If so, what is
the nature of your relationship with them? Do you have
boundaries in place that keep it professional and that do
not allow it to become something more? For example,
after repeated casual conversations with a male
coworker, a Christian sister might make him her
confidant, even telling him about her marital problems.
In another situation, after becoming friendly with a
female coworker, a Christian man might reason: “She
values my opinion and really listens when I talk to her.
And she appreciates me. I wish I got more of this kind of
treatment at home!” Can you see how Christians in such
situations could be vulnerable to committing adultery?

“In the workplace and elsewhere, beware of situations
that might foster intimacy. For example, spending extra
hours working closely with someone of the opposite sex
can set the stage for temptation. As a married man or
woman, you should make it clear by your speech and
your demeanor that you are simply not available. As one
who pursues godly devotion, you would certainly not
want to invite undue attention by flirting or by being
immodest in your dress and grooming. . . . Having photos
of your marriage mate and children around the
workplace will serve as a visual reminder to you and to
others that you have priorities. Be determined never to
encourage—or even tolerate—seductive overtures from
another.”

sexual fantasies involving someone other than your
marriage mate. The article indicated that engaging in
sexual fantasies will increase the likelihood of your
committing adultery. ( Jas. 1:14, 15) If you are married, it
would be wise for you and your spouse to review such
information together from time to time. Marriage is an
arrangement instituted by Jehovah himself, and it is
sacred. Setting aside time to talk to your mate about your
marriage is a fine way to show that you value sacred
things.— Gen. 2:21-24.
18 If you find yourself tempted to develop an improper
romantic relationship, meditate on the damaging
consequences of fornication and adultery. ( Prov. 7:22,
23; Gal. 6:7) Those who commit immorality displease
Jehovah and hurt their spouse and themselves. (Read
Malachi 2:13, 14.) In contrast, contemplate the benefits
that come to those who maintain chaste conduct. Not
only do they have the hope of living forever but they also
enjoy the best life now, including a clean conscience.—
Read Proverbs 3:1, 2.
19 The psalmist sang: “Abundant peace belongs to
those loving your [God’s] law, and for them there is no
stumbling block.” ( Ps. 119:165) So love the truth, and
“keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but
as wise persons” in these wicked times. ( Eph. 5:15, 16)
The paths we follow are rife with traps set by Satan to
ensnare true worshippers. But we are well-equipped to
protect ourselves. Jehovah has given us what we need to
“stand firm” and “quench all the wicked one’s burning
missiles”!— Eph. 6:11, 16.
But the friend and 'friend-in-law' are not married so it is easy to call the whole thing off. But it is becoming clear that one of the greatest threats to one's destiny is this 'friend' thing. The bible recognizes family, it speaks of 'neighbour'. I don't know where 'friend' fits in that causes so many untold troubles and destroys many destinies. God is very concerned who we are 'yoked' with and the terms under which we relate with people. Some just put themselves unnecessarily in jeopardy because of these. You my friend had better re-evaluate your relationships in the light of your vision and destiny. I don't know what this guy means to you but it had better be worth it.

SergeAlain:
Thank God the elections will soon come and go. Irrespective of who wins, then we can start thinking like on Country Again.

Your country, a Country that before now hardly produced a pin (militarily speaking), now produces within a 4 year span an APC (by the way the Igirigi is active in the North East, in fact some of the pix above are from the North East), Naval patrol vessels, a basic drone aircraft and yet it gives you no joy. Simply because Jonathan is your enemy and must be discredited.

To do that you run down the military and all their achievements, virtually celebrate the mindless terrorists at war with your country. Whether you know it or not you are bringing down your country and even if the messiah (GMB) came after may 29, this precedent you have set here will be difficult to stop or reverse.

My brother let us celebrate successes and humble beginnings together. It does not stop you voting for anyone you want if you feel GEJ has not done enough.

And for those shouting that we should be building space crafts and submarines, ask yourself how the parents whose child finally starts crawling at the age of 3 should react? Should they encourage the child? or respond by saying Olodo!!! Na now you dey crawl, see all your mates don dey run sef!!!

Let us be wise please. The elections will come and go! We cannot run down our Country just to gain political points, it is an expensive experiment.
Thank you. Playing politics with everything. Just reprehensible.

What you can do is either formalise everything and seperate yourselves, your wallets from the enterprises' so you are both on a salary or dividend then you can spend yours as you care (ex-paternal responsibilities). Alternatively you can set up another business to accomodate your 'extra-marital affairs'. But not on company time oh. Hahahaha.

In a time of adversity it is the duty of the leader to galvanize every element of the state towards conquering the situation without creating schism. But, GEJ's approach is suicidal, right from the inception, all that apparently interest him is how to make maximum political gain from such catastrophic situation. That could possibly explain the current victory, when he realized Defeat is staring him at the face. Cameroun leaders got it right hence the seamless support.
Nobody is begging you to support the country or the military. The Camerounians are in solidarity with their forces and you chose to go political by default. If you cannot support the country because you don't like the President then patriotism is far from you. Does every soldier fighting and dying like Jonathan. Are they fighting for him. They are fighting for you and me so I advice you to stop this political nonsense and remove it from issues of national importance.

A people under threat donot need to be encouraged to recognize the danger and act accordingly. Most wars America undertake enjoy bipartisan support. When it comes to security they know no politics. Wake up.

It wasn't Kennedy's army when they were trashed in the Bay of Pigs. It wasn't Carter's Army that failed the hostages in Iran. It wasn't Bush's Army's misadventure in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was the United States Army. Yes the C in C's took responsibility for the results but the people of America continue to respect their men and women in uniform and NEVER, NEVER play politics WHEN THEY ARE ENGAGED IN WARS no matter who sent them, for what reasons and no matter the successes or failures encountered.

Leave politics to when the last soldier is out of harms way and is back to his family like the rest of us. In the military it is called mutiny. In civil life it is called insurrection. It is bad.

Mister. Let the law punish the wrongs of the customs officers but you must make every effort to seperate individuals from institutions and protect institutions so that institutions can protect society. Yes it was a terrible act but should the customs disarm because.of that, no. Should the customs cease to pursue criminals because of this incident, no.

We have not even.touched the stage where authorities are hyperactive for us to complain. We shoukd be demanding a tougher, stronger, bigger and more ethical customs service not the opposite. Are we proud that even tanks and armoured cars are imported by insurgents. No. So what are we saying. Those women were fighting a real economic war against legal, honest, hardworking Nigerians.

Everyone seems to blame custom without blaming the driver for not stopping. That is the problem with us Nigerians. We all blame the govt for everything. Why carry contraband items when you know they are illegal? After we keep shouting our politicians are corrupt.
They women were simply greedy. They know how much profits they will make from selling the okrika clothes. They should have stopped and sorted the custom guyz. If they were caught, they would still have found a way of getting back their seized goods.
Yet they will berate the same customs as being corrupt when they see contraband goods in the markets. That is why I will always say that Nigeria is the way it is because of the aggregate thinking of its people. Nigeria is corrupt and lawless as it is because the average Nigerian has corrupt and lawless sympathies. As a test, in response to this just view where the blame for this tragedy goes 90 percent to authorities, laws and institutions, 10 percent to the perpetuators. They will say poverty but what causes poverty, crime. They will say government but do the people who demand.justice have clean hands.

When you are on a flight from the law, it is temporarily suspended in your case and it doesn't matter whether you contraband goods or illegal weapons death for a fugitive is a very real possibility. The customs officers will be commended. That is the truth.

By the way. Ramming the fugitive vehicle to disable it is a very legal move to save the lives of innocent road users and bring any chase to a quick end anywhere in the world. No one should refuse to be stopped by law enforcement no matter the sentiments. You may question the intent after stopping but to flee is already a felony offence.
