OK.

The recent paasaage of the finance bill had now been a law and these have also made call rate or tarrif to increase as 7.5% tax is now imposed on every single call being made

One Nigeria.

All of the networks charge the new 7.5% VAT charge. MTN is only transparent about the charges while all of the others are silent about it.

Good morning everyone.

In the middle of the night today, I tried to look for duvet to cover up my son on bed. I decided to check my wife wardrobe.

I saw a pack of mycoten in the wardrobe. She already slept this time. So I had to chill till this morning to ask her questions.

So, this morning when I asked her, she said it was her mum that gave her bla bla bla..
I saw a piece of paper prescribing that cream for her in that same bag I found the cream.

I googled the uses of mycoten and I found out it was nothing serious because it is use for yeast infection and vagina odour. My wife dont have vagina odour and I understand yeast infection can be gotten from toilet or could be infection of body skin that spread or so.

I actually know she lied about her mummy giving her. But what baffles me is that I got a whatsapp message from her when she was coming from my son school..

She wrote that I nag a lot. That I should give her space. That u think she can't cope without me. She said she will look for work to take care of our son.She said we have been together for six years and I don't even trust her a bit. She said I think she can't leave without her. She didn't even address the issue of allegation of infidelity I threw against her(i deliberately did that #.I replied her I can't give her space in my own house and if she is fed up, she can pack her bags and go to her parent house. I told her if my son is infected or if I am infected , I am going to kill her and hand over myself to police. Immediately she blocked me on whatsapp and I did same. After an hour, she unblocked me.

Could she have been sleeping around her? Or are there any other uses of mycoten I don't know?

In my mind though, the cream I find is not really something to worry about but the message I got and her reaction is what I don't understand.

Seems to me like you truly nag a lot.

Seriously though, accusations of infidelity are not stuff for careless banter. Don't throw them at someone and expect them not to get defensive...even if they are truly not cheating on you.

Vaginal thrush is an infection a lot of ladies have now and then...some more frequently than others. She may have felt embarrassed by your decison to confront her about the cream hence her aggressive retort.

Take it easy on your woman. Trust her until she gives you a concrete reason not to.

Also try and stop the "pack and go" threat. No woman will be happy to hear her husband say that to her because it tells her that her place in your life is not secure. Most women don't handle insecurity too well. You need to make her realise that you are in it for the long haul and all you are doing is trying to make her a better person. It will take a lot of work but if you keep at it, you will succeed.

Good luck!

BOYLOVABLE1:
A lady send me a friend request on facebook since early last year which I accepted, from there we started chatting.

According to her that she's from India and she will love to marry, we talked a lot. I asked her so many questions about her and she said so many things that she a single mother.

After two months she went off and I also moved on. Just last week Friday, she appears again telling me that her account was hacked.

She has been sending me pictures also request for mine which I did send, she send both nude pics.

On Friday she also wants me to send mine which I declined. After much persuasion, I sent her my nude, she insisted that she wants to see my full unclad pic.
To cut the story shorter, immediately I sent her my full unclad pic, the next thing I saw was:

"You dey craze, I resemble your mate?". I should better comply or else....
When she is through with me I will know my myself.

I just weak, immediately I blocked her on Facebook. I think she wants to use my unclad pic to scam me. She has been calling me but I refuse to pick the call.

Please what will i do?

Don't mind mind my English construction.

First of all, forget all that "She" talk. You have been gisting and sharing nudes with a man like you.

The nudes "she" shared with you are probably some random pictures gotten off the internet.

You have done the right thing by blocking the fraudster. Now just wait. The person's next move will determine your own next move.

Whatever you do however, DO NOT SUCCUMB TO A BLACKMAILER.

If the person makes contact again perhaps asking for money or anything like that, ask for the person's account details. It could prove a very useful way of tracking the person if necessary. If you are asked for a personal face to face meeting, do not go alone. Swallow your pride and go to the police.

Do not be afraid. You made a mistake but you did not commit any crime.

Goodluck!

agemmy113:
Pls Nairalanders, I need your advice. My boss traveled out of the country and she posted a picture on her WhatsApp status which I commented on 'what a nice pics'.

But to my surprise she is taking it up.
Pls what should I do?

Edited: I wrote Good pm ma, what a nice look.
She hasn't confronted me but she told her housegirl that I will have to explain what I mean to her when she comes back.

You did nothing wrong in paying her a compliment. But perhaps she isn't used to receiving compliments.

I know there are some women I compliment even in my office and instead of saying a simple "thank you" what you get is a frown and a rude "meaning what" response. For those ones I simply apologise and know never to compliment them again in the future.

Your madam may be dealing with certain insecurities about her looks. If she kicks up a fuss when she returns, stay calm and tell her you meant no disrespect. Then go ahead and apologise and keep it strictly business going forward.

By the way, do not say anything unless she confronts you directly so you don't end up putting the snitchy househelp in trouble.

i know he will survive because apc has achieved their plan which is to plant a governor in the south east because of 2023 election

Which state did Rochas rule for 8 years and on which party's platform did he win 2 terms?

Dsimple:
This is expected owing to the outcry of last week's blunder.
However, I still think it will have been much easier for Tambuwal election to be void than that of Ihedioha.
Fourth position later coming first is still a mystery to me.

So you really think it takes a few days to write a judgement that takes an average of 10 hours to read?

Not so my brother. Courts aren't influenced by "outcries". Courts base judgement on arguments and evidences presented before them.

Sometimes courts deliver judgements that may be seen as unpopular. But the law is the law.

Courts operate by the legal doctrine Fīat jūstitia ruat cælum.

I wonder why we are always so quick to accept and celebrate every denigrating assessment of our country by the west. It is shamefull really.

This is a a manifestly unfair assessment of the true situation of things.

Agreeing to this assessment is akin to spitting on the sacrifice of the numerous soldiers that have died providing security across the country.

Government has done a lot and take it or leave it, the situation has improved. However, there's so much more that needs to be done.

I read on a thread that he doesn't have qualifications. His cert is fake.

Don't know hw true, which is why I used "could "

Oh that's a new twist. But I think that report was about Ifeanyi Ubah.

Kylekent59:
Uzodinma shouldn't relax yet ooo, anything could happen.

Anything could happen like what exactly? The court is not called "Supreme" for nothing you know?

God forbid, even if Uzodinma drops dead today, he will be succeeded by his deputy. Ihedioha cannot smell office again till the next elections.

My advice to him is to go and rest and map out strategy for the next election rather then expending his lean resources sponsoring pointless protests.

This is what should have been done snce rather than all of the pointless grandstanding and sabre rattling in the media.

Let the judiciary do its job of interpreting the law and guide all concerned in this matter accordingly.

For country wey man 'o war and boy scout dey wan slap person for road!

Country wey even corporate guard dey wan shalo pesin and dey claim staff sake of say em sef wear uniform...afterall uniform na uniform.

Country wey police na armed robber and armed robber dey wear police uniform.

Na dat same country naim Amotekun wan operate?

So by the time wey all the other region form dem own "Amotekun", na wetin come remain?

Na who go dey control Amotekun? Na who dey regulate their activity?

No be this country we dey wey Gani Adam and OPC hold Lagos hostage during Obasanjo time?

No be this country we dey wey Bakassi boys terrorise Southeast region?

E don tey like that wey we don forget? Why we no dey learn anything for this country? Why we dey always do like blockhead pickin wey no fit learn?

You go fear headline naaa!

See as they spun the story to make it look like something scandalous had happened in the church leading to the staff resignations.

To resign from your workplace for the purpose of relocation abroad isn't bad. If I tell you the number of employees that resigned from my office to go to Canada in 2019, you will be shocked.

Bloggers just like sensationalising stories.

He lost the plot because he decided to voice out after so many years.
I remembered him defending some herdsmen about 1 to 2 years ago to my utter dismay.
What personal favors was government giving him from 2011 to 2015?
How about from 2015 to 2020?

You guys are a big part of the Nigerian problem as you are more interested in supporting your party/religion
than the country.

Sadly, I don't belong to the party or the religious group you think. This paranoia will do no one any good. There are bad eggs in every tribe and religion.

Comparing a government to a terrorist group because you aren't happy with their appointments or policies isn't right.

Bishop Kukah has lost the plot.

It is unfortunate.

Koval12:
Putin is the most dangerous man alive. Believe me, he has unsettled America more than Iran have done.

Remember that Russia meddled with the election that brought Trump into Power to the destruction of America.

After Devil, fear Putin!!

Right now, even Putin is much more stable than Trump at the moment. Trump is as erratic as a 6 year old with real nuclear codes.

He is the greatest threat to world peace right now.

Based on this description, NIGERIA is ok.

It is NIGERIANS that have a problem...a BIG ONE!

If anyone deserves beating here, it should be the agbaya that wants to sleep with a minor. I strongly advise you let the authorities sort him out. But who am I to judge you if you pay a couple of "area boys" to deal out some "gbas gbos."

As for your sister, forget that flogging levels. Instead have a heart to heart but very firm talk with her. Cultivate a trusting friendship with her so that she will be able to confide the most intimate details to you. That way you will be able to provide the necessary guidance and fight off the wolves where necessary.

If you start by beating her, you force her into her shell and lose the plot. Involve your parents too so they can keep a closer eye on her not just physically but digitally too. A lot of parents physically watch and protect their kids but forget that social media is a different exposure all together. They forget to keep an eye on their children's digital footprints. Big mistake!

Built2last:
See your government.

Unfortunately nobody is reviewing anything they will tag along

Why are we comparing both countries? Do they have the same foreign or economic policies?

An international currency regime is not something to rush into. If Ghana I'd comfortable with it and Nigeria isn't, so be it. We call them "government" for a reason.

Racoon:
So there is truly a cabal? Yet this same Garba Shehu was earlier telling Nigerians that there is no cabal in the presidency & that Buhari is in charge of his government?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/dailypost.ng/2019/11/08/crisis-in-presidency-nobody-is-too-powerful-to-be-controlled-by-me-i-remain-in-charge-buhari/amp/

Meanwhile, did Nigerians elected a cabal? On what constitutional basis is a cabal operating in the nation's seat of power? So why are the Dauras/Babachirs/ Funtuas etc desperate to be holed up in Aso Rock that they've been threatening the life of the first lady?

See the idiocy Garba Shehu is manifesting every day. Aisha Buhari was right.The NUJ should simply ostracize this man because he is a complete disgrace and monumental embarrassment.

There is hardly any leader anywhere in the world that functions without an inner caucus of trusted friends and advisers. The only reason we label them a "cabal" here is because of the bizarre sort of politics we play here.

The inner caucus or "kitchen cabinet" as it is called in other climes is usually made up of friends and close confidants who no doubt, have a strong influence on the leader's leadership disposition and decisions.

I saw the tweet in question and there was nothing in it that looked like it was aimed to stimulate a debate, a discussion or anything of the sort! He wasn't misquoted or taken out of context in anyway.

It was a categorical statement that looked and sounded like the claimant had solid proof. If it was all about debates and discussions, a lot of that has been on since this unfortunate Sowore saga began.

But when a man of influence like this makes a statement that Sowore was released to divert attention from the "unsuccessful attempt on the life of ex President Jonathan", who is he accusing but the government that released Sowore?

Would they then be wrong to invite him to share proof of his allegation? I think it is time people like this become a lot more circumspect about their statements on social media.

Unique357:
In brief, I am a male married with 2 children, my daughter is 8 and son is 5. I also have my niece 11 and a house help 15 staying with us.

On Monday I gave my wife Christmas shopping money to get foodstuffs, hers and children clothing including our house help.

Yesterday my wife went shopping, she bought clothes for herself, our children and nothing for the house help. She claimed that the girl doesn’t need any clothes for Christmas as long we feed and send her to school, the rest is her parents' duties. The girl in question is my wife's relative from the same village. This girl is so nice to our children, she is like a second mother to them despite her being just 15, I have never had any problem with her.

I was mad at her that I told her, if she cannot treat another woman's child well then she doesn’t deserve to be a mother, yes I did said some harsh words to her because of anger. She accused me of sleeping with the little girl which I told her she is mad and she couldn’t stop crying the whole night. This morning she didn’t make my breakfast and refused greeting me back.

Please house let me know if I overreacted

Let's just say that you did the right thing....but in a wrong way.

Your wife isn't a perfect human being....but she's a perfect wife for you to nurture, develop and improve. All of these must however be done in a sweet and loving atmosphere or else you will set your home on fire.

You will also make things a lot more difficult for your househelp because your wife will blame her for the disruption in her home and rain hell on her.

I advise you to rein in the situation quickly to avoid a further degeneration. Buy her a gift and apologise for speaking out of turn to her. Then lovingly explain to her why the househelp must be treated right...especially in this season of love, sharing and goodwill. I am sure she will see reason.

Goodluck.

This man's only claim to fame is that he served in the Nigerian Army and participated in almost every coup that happened from independence to the 80s. He was a major part of the team that stoked the embers that exploded into the civil war leading to millions of deaths.

Yet today, he is one of the wealthiest men in Africa with 2 oil wells and chains of businesses to his name.

Yet today, this crook is seizing platforms to grandstand and talk down on people. This blood thirsty ethnic jingoist who is behind a lot of the communal crisis in the middle belt is talking about what he knows.

Why wont he know when he is a principal actor in the drama that is Nigeria? God will judge him and his class of generals for all they have done to this dear country one day! Very soon!

23 oil wells?!



These are the kind of tales Kanu spins to his followers on his IPOB radio. What is unfortunate is that his followers swallow the lies without asking reasonable questions.

Truly unfortunate.

Do DSS operatives now patrol the streets like police men. This story doesn't add up.

Chai! What a life. The life of 2 young people irredeemably destroyed just like that.

Her life may have been saved if someone had the foresight to rush that poor lady to hospital immediately after it happened rather than keep her on the bare floor.

Now this guy is going to be locked away for a lifetime most likely. 19 years old! That's the outcome of living life on the fast lane.

Really unfortunate!

The problem of disorderliness isn't caused by "Nigeria." Nigeria has a lot of laws and agencies responsible for maintaining order.

The problem is "we Nigerians". We are disorderly people that refuse to comply with basic traffic rules. There is no way we will have a state of order when we display a total disregard for the rules put in place to guarantee order.

When we change our orientation, order will automatically return.

MisterJeph:
my brain went blank for a second and I started looking for a suitable answer. [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

At this point, you had answered the interviewer's question without saying anything and your unspoken answer was a silent NO I AM NOT CREATIVE!

If you were, that question wouldn't have thrown you off balance

Your mistake was in approaching the question from the regular meaning of the word "creative". Creativity means a lot more than your ability to write a story or song, paint a picture or act in a drama or movie. With relation to the corporate space, the interviewer was most likely testing your capacity for out-of-the-box and innovative thinking.

Next time you are asked a question that seems to have come out of nowhere or isn't in alignment with the role you are been interviewed for, pause for a moment and give it some thought before answering. If you still come up blank, you can ask the interviewer to further elucidate. You don't lose any points during an interview by asking an interview to clarify a question that you didn't understand.

When you seek clarification, it not only helps your understanding but also buys you some valuable seconds with which to think through your response more deeply before voicing it. Acing an interview takes some "creative" thinking in itself

Good luck!

I don't know who is advising Mr Onyema. But this is a foolhardy move that will not end well for him.

I don't think he wants to get into this messy extradition battle that will no doubt shred whatever is left of his credibility to pieces.

Nigeria as a country is committed to a number of treaties with the US and extraditing wanted suspects on the basis of valid court documents is one of them. The FG will be hard-pressed not to arrest him and ship him to the US is such a request is made. Nigeria can't afford to get on the bad side of the US.

Mr Onyema needs to lawyer up and voluntarily turn himself in to US authorities and set about clearing his name or answering for the misdemeanour whichever way it goes. That is the wisest and most honourable thing to do at this time.

"After my statement the Fulanis went after him, they know that IPOB will not fight for him for undermining our struggle to restore Biafra’s independence. I will not ask him further questions, I believe he has learnt his lessons."

I didn't know that the "Fulanis" have taken control of the American government. Interesting!

I don't see what he is gloating about. If the ruling of the court was that there is to be an election re-run, then technically, no one can be sworn in as a replacement until the result of the rerun is received.

Having said that, I wonder why the "house leader" needs 3 new cars. If he has 3, I wonder how many the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker have. This is how these legislators keep wasting public funds thus spiking up the cost of governance. Why in the world does one man need 3 cars?
