If it was possible for people like Jonathan and Buhari to run Nigeria, Peter Obi too can Nigeria.

Idiotseverywher:
. Is that what you think? You have a dirty mindset and more over you think LP will not get some national assembly members or decampees? Well let him win first

ElSudani:
No governor
No senator
No House of rep
No local government chairman
Even if he wins he will be the first Nigerian president to be impeached.
This reason being that he cannot perform the miracle his followers are saying he can perform.

paramakina202:
If Labour Party wins presidential election withing 6 months MOST OF the senators will become Odidient this is Nigeria for you .
Meanwhile they will win many seats dduring the election.

Ecos:


Oga urchin , go and rest. He will appoint reasonable youths wey their brain dey hot to help him out and he will retire those old criminals

mycar:
Not in Nigeria, those our senators will decamp and if they don't would be best as their will be proper checks and balance. Everyone will be careful and work for the masses to judge, isn't that good?

T9ksy:
The system is responsible for useless leaders we are now saddle with. Unless we change the system this pseudo united country will never progress.

Obojuju:
Once OBI wins....u go fear decampees na . We need a good leadership at the helm of affairs in Nigeria. Peter Obi will provide that needed leadership....and u will see every other politician will reset their mentality. Nigeria is going to be a beautiful place again to live with Obi presidency

In 2016 she told me her salary was #50.000 And then two years later, when she got promoted, I asked about her salary and she said, “Oh these people, don’t mind them. They added only #5000 to my old salary. Because of her meager salary, I’ve taken up so many responsibilities in the house without complaint. I pay for utilities and pay for food. I pay the fees of our two kids, clothe them, and take care of their medical bills. When my wife sends me a grocery list, she adds sanitary pads. She buys dresses and clothes, comes to show them to me, and asks me to pay for them. She started talking about a car when our second child came in. Things weren’t good on my side so I asked her to give me some time. She said, “I’ve saved something. I can add it to what you have so you pay me when your money comes.”

I agreed and took that money from her, topped it up to get her a car. For three months my ears never rest. She would wake up at dawn and ask me to pay what I owed her. I got tired and paid the money when I didn’t have much in my account.

One evening, I turned my laptop on and saw a lot of emails. I checked and it was my wife’s email that had been opened. I asked her, “Did you use my laptop?” She answered, “Yeah I was checking something.” I told her, “Then you didn’t log out.” She answered, “I forgot. Please log out for me.” I was about to log out when something caught my attention. I saw a mail with the subject, “January Payslip.” I opened and started going through. When I saw her gross salary, I was shocked. #400,734? And this girl has been crying poverty?

I went through the details. That night I couldn’t sleep. I was angry. I felt let down. I felt cheated. I felt played. We’ve been married for six good years and my wife earned that much without my knowledge? How much she earned didn’t bother me a lot than what she was using that money for. I decided not to talk immediately but rather do a little bit of investigation.

All my life I’ve held the view that it wasn’t right for anyone to go through their partner’s phone. It’s an invasion of privacy and it breeds mistrust in the relationship but that night, going through her phone was the only way to find out what I was looking for. I started with her best friend. Nothing much was found. Her family had a Whatsapp group. I read the messages there. I got few hints. I went through the chat with her father and that was when I realized my wife had bought a piece of land and had started building. Her father was in charge of the project. He had sent photos of the various stages of the building. At some point, her father said, “Thank you for helping out your brother. He would have been home had it not been you.”

She has only one brother—her senior brother. I went to look for the chat between them. Her senior brother lost his job and was home doing nothing so my wife bought her Hyundai i10 to use for Uber. Every week, her brother rendered an account and they split the money. From all indications, my wife was doing well for herself while she plays poor so she could rely on my salary. Why would she do that? I thought I was being a supportive husband so my wife could be proud of the man she married. When we bought land, it was her name and my name that appeared on the land title. That car I bought for her with a loan from her bears her name. I didn’t mind. I believed what’s hers was also mine. 

The next morning she realized I wasn’t looking well. I was boiling on the inside but looking for a good opportunity to start the conversation. When I calmed down a little, I asked her, “So why would you do that to me?” She asked, “What have I done?” I answered, “You bought land, you never told me. You started building on it, you never told me. When are you going to tell me?” She was shocked. She asked, “Who told you all that?” I said, “Your father did.” She stood quiet for a while. She asked, “Why would my father tell you all that? What were you people talking about” I said, “I don’t know. You can ask him.” 

We left it there. Some minutes later she came to me with her phone: “My father wants to talk to you.” The phone was already on a loudspeaker. His father was clearly angry. He asked, almost shouting, “You said I told you my daughter has a building? Where did I say that and when?” I asked, “Is it not true that my wife has a building project going on that you’re supervising?”  He asked me, “I told you that?” I asked, “Is it true or not?” After the back and forth I told them, “I read your messages last night. I saw the pictures. I read the various budget you had sent to my wife. I read the confirmation of the money receipts that you sent her. You’re a man. Would you be happy if your wife does this to you?” He started fumbling. He started apologizing saying he thought I was aware.”


My wife stood there motionless, didn’t know what to say. When her father hung up, I told her everything I knew, from her salary to the car she bought for her brother. I said, “Yet, even your sanitary pad, I buy them. You think I’m a fool? You’ll use your money to acquire your own properties and live on mine because you’re my wife? I hear. We’ll see.”

Trust was lost. Love was broken. We had to find a new way of living our lives going forward. Her father called me every morning and evening apologizing for everything and sometimes taking up the blame so I didn’t have to blame his daughter. I told him, “The emotional state I’m in right now, it would be hard to think straight or think forgiveness. Just give me space.” Three days later, they were in our house. The father, the mother, and the senior brother. They came to apologize. “Don’t let this break up the beautiful marriage you both have. If nothing at all, consider the kids and be lenient in your judgment.”

I listened to them. My position was still the same. “I need time to clear my mind. Just leave me alone to think.” From last month to this moment that I’m writing this, my wife had changed totally. She doesn’t ask for money but the house is being run smoothly. She has started paying for things she never paid for but that doesn’t move me. She has taught me a very great lesson and I’m taking it seriously. That in everything, I have to look out for myself and my family first. Last she told me, “If you want us to change the names on those properties, we can do so.” Guess whose name is on the property…her father’s name.”

I told her, “You don’t need to change anything. They are yours. You suffered for them so you can decide what you want to do with them.” The land I bought has our names. I’m selling it and take my money back. The car she’s driving has her name. I put a for-sale sticker on it some weeks ago. She agreed she’ll pay for the car. I’ve given her two months to pay up or I sell it and take my money. She’s getting the message and I’m glad. Each one for himself, God for us all. She keeps asking if I’m going to leave her. I keep telling her I won’t but if she wants a divorce, I will gladly give her. I’m not going to leave the marriage. I would give us some time to heal and see what may happen but when it comes to money, I’ve taken the lesson she taught me through her actions. 

*What's your take?*

Made619:
For the sanity of your mind as a guy, avoid ladies from poor background.(no offense to those from poor background)

Ashirawealthy1:
Its mainly for fun, it shall also pass by just like paternity fraud (DNA).
Those backing it up as if their life depends on it, are mainly guys who stink of poverty and are so broke and useless (especially nairaland guys).

Jessepaid:
Shit....well....

Naturally you should take immediate action and sack her...

I no dey see the mama...

Na the pickin I dey see...

I want you to be understanding with this one..

Tell your brother to increase her salary...

While you are there try and maybe give her daily incentives...

Street dey every where...

Very few people fully depend on their salary...


Or you can just call her and tell her you know what's up...
Tell her to stop...
Then dey put for am small small...

Which ever way works...

alcapone10:
This is no fraud,her atm is linked to an online loan company Branch International,ask her if she took a loan from them,or try to contact them to get the Identity of the person that took loan from them and attached her atm card,has to be somebody close that could have access to her phone for some few mins

micflo28:
Go and arrest the POS guy... He saved your sisters pin for usage. We need to stop patronizing POS vendors... Most are thieves. With an Android POS machine, one can save passwords for later usage...

blackpanthar:
Sir, its to go to the bank o. Tell them the exact ATM she has been using to withdraw and show them these proofs that you have... Then go to police station for statement.

She should stop crying o.... I believe she will recover but everyone should trust POS more than ATM henceforth.

Missimelda01 pls help

Rebuke:
This is just the beginning.

It seems it's only in South South and South West that protest is prohibited though.

Let's wait the arrival of Nigeria army

This is really a heart breaking issue but see me laughing at the stupidity of the Northerners.

JONNYSPUTE:
....And after a man shows up with all these qualities you stated. What will be his reward?

womenareapes:
you can never find a good wife or husband in the club!

club is home to repentant olosho, the dedicated olosho, the Destiny breakers, the yahoo Yahoo and the ritualist!


any man who is seeking for a wife in the club is Also preparing his graveyard!

Arrewa:
do you even know the meaning of Backwardness??

No you don't!!

The East remain the most backward region in Nigeria.

We in the north have realized that we have a problem.

We are already working towards our problems and I am very optimistic that the north shall rise again. It's already Gradually rising.

We are facing insecurity in 3 northern states.

Zamfara, kastina and Kaduna villages.

Because of this u people have been abusing the whole 19 northern states.

The north still remain the most peaceful region in Nigeria.

Zamfara, Kaduna and kastina villages would soon be safe just like Adamawa, yobe, Gombe, bauchi, were set free from the hands of bokoharam.

I know that majority of you are all happy with the insecurity in the north.

Majority of you Easterners celebrate our pains I can still remember the time of Corona when you guys were celebrating over the mysterious deaths in kano.

Keep the hatred coming... Don't stop!

Northerners are the problems of the North
