Honestly I don't know how to help you. This whole thing is not straight. Your dad was under immense pressure meanwhile this is your life savings and investments.

But here's what I can tell you,if your brother had died, you will still sell the kegs, and it won't be enough to bury him.


Just find a way to move forward with your wife but no matter what you do, do not marry yet. Don't let the frustration push you into the hands of a woman cause you will be extending this poverty to your own kids

I so love this counsel. Nothing gives joy in this life like defeating poverty else nothing in this life can make sense to you.

One of the reasons i get only single moms and enjoying life with my beautiful kids.
Allow her to get pregnant or carry ur child before marriage, imagine u just feed her for 5 good years without any gain.
I don't have time to waste my cash on any useless woman in the name of wedding.

You are a very terrible human being. I doubt if you can raise a responsible child. You think it's all about having children right? Wait till you can raise them well and they grow up and take care of you.

Bonjelomo:
Stop making excuses for crime. Evil should be condemned! Dassol!!

What excuse exactly am I making? Don't you understand simple English? I said every evil has a cause and hers is beyond recognition from JAMB as the highest scorer in the exam. At least what she scored in the exam should be sufficient for her course of study.

Bonjelomo:
Go and listen to the Jamb rep. He said it very clear

Well, I've swallowed all the defense I attempted for her. Her case is only one that reminds us that we shouldn't trust anything in this world.

However, I'm of the position that there's something that pushed her to pull this stunt, which isn't necessarily about the recognition. The matter is still breaking.

End the relationship.

Sirmuel1:
450k is huge, especially in this country.

My advice is for you to learn how to save.

Cut down your expenses, don’t spend recklessly, don’t compete with co-workers and don’t try to impress anybody (including women).

Rent an affordable apartment, start up a business.

(Don’t start building any house immediately, because it’s a liability). It will only tie your wealth in one spot.

Imagine building a house with 30-50m in Lagos, only to get at least 2m yearly as a rent. How long will it take to get back the capital

A House is a long term investment + retirement plan.

Start a business first!

Have you forgotten they are people who only build, put like 10M naira on top and sell the house?

Ebubu2:
Well deserved

All his policies will thus favor Nigeria

Like removal of fuel subsidy that was feeding all of West Africa

The removal is now feeding you abi? Mumu man!

ManWater:
I still can't fathom why any sensible girl will fake her JAMB result to have the HIGHEST SCORE. Highest score that will easily attract nationwide publicity & also attract the attention of JAMB to come & easily expose it as fake.
&she still went ahead to protest to Anambra Education Commissioner that Jamb didn't recognise her fake highest score.

It's practically impossible to do all these, without getting caught.
It's like stealing an expensive rough diamond, & later come out to brag that you own the most expensive diamond necklace in the country.

If she was involved in the fake, then she must be very foolish/insensible. &not owning up yet implies a hardened criminal.
Else she may just be an innocent victim of a fraudulent JAMB result scheme or JAMB system glitch.

Had same reasoning but some people here were labeling me Igbo.

It's either she's innocent or a hardened criminal. I'll prefer an independent investigator to handle the case.

Bonjelomo:
Airtel released forensic report on her sim card of her she was editing her results and resending it to the sender USSD code...yet she is "innocent"?

Does Airtel have any issues with her?

Can you point me to any source of this information?

jmoore:
This has turn to iberibe.

This easy fraud that doesn't take 5 minutes to detect is what they are setting up committee of professors.


They should allow this case to die.

That result is FAKE.

Ask yourself, how will that poor girl wants to fake her scores to make it the highest in the country and then take same result to the government? Who does that? Is it a goat that gave birth to her? Let's calm down in this matter, please. I strongly doubt she forged that result. Remember, she has acted innocently throughout.

Meanwhile, the score she had, I strongly believe was enough for her course of choice. So, why want to fake her result when she's scored high already? I can tell you that no child is desperate to be number one in JAMB in the whole country. Instead, they strive to score to make it enough for their course of study. So, let's be careful about how we approach this matter.

kingthreat:
You people are horrible. So in order to defend one girl, you all are ready to throw a reputable educational institution to the Mud. You did the same thing with INEC and are willing to do same with any other thing. The sooner you get it in your thickhead, that "No tribe in Nigeria is greatest amongst the others" the better. That is why politically, you have been unable to find your bearing since independence.

You are talking sh!t. Which educational institution is reputable? And you are bringing INEC in here? Hahaha

Reputable nonsense! INEC of nonsense.

I strongly believe this girl's issue is a case of mismanagement of technological architecture. JAMB were too fast to condemn her meanwhile the problem came from them.

Most likely, the girl didn't forge her result and didn't also score that high, but because JAMB don't know what they are doing, they messed up the whole system. Their database management system is poor, unstable, and now throwing up random scores to the students.

As a result, the girl is right with claiming that score whether she scored it or not. At least, she didn't forge it.

bigtt76:
So wrong how JAMB is treating this case and they might end up paying for damages. They need to audit their platforms to make sure the glitch wasn't from them. The affected student too ...can she come out with her chest that she could've scored that much in the exam? I am not doubting her abilities but if she can then she should pursue this to letter. She's too naive to have done all she's being accused of.

Most likely, she didn't score that high, but at the same time, she didn't forge that result. In any case, the girl is right. JAMB should own up that their system is flawed.

dominique:
The girl actually looks nerdy and innocent. She doesn't look like someone that will willingly or knowingly forge results. I hope she doesn't get penalized over something she knows nothing about

JAMB or any authority in Nigeria can't do sh!t to her. Worse come to worst, she leaves the sh!thole to go study abroad.

God1000:
It seems JAMB has jumped the gun on this issue, they should have waited for the outcome of the DSS investigation before coming out with such statement.


Something isn't right if she truly printed her result from jamb website

I wholeheartedly believe her

Same here bro. I wholeheartedly believe that girl. When it comes to tech, our authorities are always doing nonsense. From police, immigration, navy to army recruitment or nysc portal, it has always been nonsense as though we don't have people that can design good websites or handle database systems. The result may not be the girls' but I strongly believe she didn't forge it.

That depends on where you are coming from. If you get to Calabar in the evening, spend your night there and continue your journey the following day.

Because I didn’t put chapters and verses to it abi? Lol...
Just in my last response alone, I mentioned the event to you at Genesis 3:20.

So? How does this verse links to your argument?

I also showed you the idea that is in Deuteronomy 22:5

Are the girls wearing male trousers? Are girls' trousers made for men? The verse is very clear. Anyone can differentiate between a male and female trouser. So, what's your argument?


and 1 Corinthians 6:20 (“glorify God in your body”).

Oh! Does it mean wearing trouser can't allow one to glorify God again? Make me understand, please.

And when I quoted that “there are clouds of witnesses around us” I was almost quoting directly Hebrew 12:1.

So? By cloud of witnesses, what do you think the verse is referring to?

By the way, the verse 2 says, looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

It never said, looking unto your neighbor or someone beside you that may cause you to derail. It said, looking unto Jesus. Bro, learn to look unto Jesus for all you do. Let Jesus alone be your judge. Stop behaving like you are God assistant and passing judgment as you wish when you don't fully understand what you are saying.

My friend, your argument and response hasn’t evidently shown that you are being guided by the Bible. This mean you are most likely not a Christian... maybe only Christian in name.

To rest this it might be that you are in the wrong place and reacting to the wrong issue. This issue is for Christians and people that are ready to accept in FULL bibles regulations and definitions.

The judge has spoken. The man that invented Christianometer has spoken.

This sh!t you feel is your strength is rather your fall. I see your type everyday. Holier than thou yet knows nothing.

thinkmoney:
I advice you go back to the Bible and get to know what we came here to do and our final destiny really.
You have referred to our dressing standard and even sexual orientation as though it is not something Bible defines and regulate. You are either ignorant or lying as I will point to you that God actually through the Bible regulates our dressing by two/three standards;
1. It was in the beginning in Eden that God actually fist start to define and regulate dressing standards. The standard God set there was that clothings must cover. God replaced the clothes our first parent made with leaves with that made of animal skins.
2: God enjoins us to dress in a way that we won’t be mistaken to other sex or people that the world sees as belong to some culture with ungodly vices.
3: this encapsulate everything, and it is that our conduct and clothing must glorify God “FOR THERE ARE CLOUD OF WITNESSES AROUND US.”

You remember I said at the very beginning that I do not know your religion but then you boasted that the Bible regulates you. But this hasn’t been evident in your argument. I have made in all my response references to Bible events and even quoted Bible, and you haven’t been able to fault any of this. But you on the other hand, have hardly made reference to anything from the Bible. One can conclude that you are not really being regulated by the Bible but by human (limited and deficient) wisdom and traditions.
You have even gone 180 degrees by going against your advice not to judge by directly judging me and falsely saying that ‘me and people like me’ define dressing standards and condemn people.
Dressing like gay issue has been refined and regulated by the Bible. And I have all the while shown you this

Which Bible ref have you made in this comment? You've not shown me sh!t.

thinkmoney:
I like the way you started that you are regulated by the Bible. The Bible have one message. Our interpretation isn’t the Bible message . We must constantly look at our interpretation and constantly a check and ensures it always in tandem with the Bible. We should even adjust our interpretations in the light of better understanding.
Imports too, the Bible ask us not to Judge.
Those skirt like dress or clothes looking like gowns in those day were the acceptable way of dressing for that time (remember I said in my first reaction that we should be careful about how people judge at a time or age). Still even then, men’s clothing were easily recognizable and differentiated from womens. I am not against trousers as their are trousers that a guy wouldn’t wear without looking odd as people generally at this time recognize it to mean it’s a ladies trousers. In this vein, my associating some particular dressing to yahoo yahoo people it’s not just me it is how the general recognize it at this time...{I had to break}... we shouldn’t pretend like we don’t know this kind of dressing.
Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian by the midianites because of the way he dressed. It was not the personal interpretation of the observers then, people generally then as they would now know how Egyptians dress.
God should be glorified in our conducts as well as clothing. If somebody that dresses ok is bad in character then that person has only scored 50 over 100 it’s the same way has person that dresses badly but has good character

Is it God that defines the dressing standard? Nope! But you and people like you - you define it, condemn, and judge others that don't fall into your definition. That's wrong. How did this whole thing started? It started just like the issue of gay and related stuff today. World people pushed for a certain way of life until they made it standard for them and then judge others that don't adjust to their standard.

What's God's standard? Godly morals! Once you have them in your heart and allow them lead you, you don't have a problem. However, you will also have to factor in the law of the land in that area. If the law condemns it, then you'll be punish by the law if the keepers of the law comes for you. But being punished by the law doesn't mean God is condemning you.

By the way, what's 50/100 abeg, when heaven is the goal? Tell me, who among the two set of people can make heaven?

thinkmoney:
I don’t know your religion but what Bible teaches is that our worship of God is more than a personal thing... it is a worship that is regulated by the Bible and that place high importance on our consideration of what others think about us (yes really! As a Christian we have to be concerned about what others think about us)
In the Bible we are enjoined not to conform to the WORLD. As a Christian we should be careful of what people at a particular time judge to be things of the world.
If the Bible say that during prayers women should cover their heads especially women with shaven heads, then women should. The Bible explains that this token shows they know their position and its respect even to angels.
We should also be careful not to dress in a way people can mistake us to yahoo yahoo people. Yes that’s Christianity

I'm a Christian sir, and the Bible is my guide. Let me stress it again, by personal relationship, I mean worshiping God based on your understanding of God with the Bible as your guide, and not because of how others do it or make you do. Meanwhile, there are different stages in the life of a typical Christian. You can't look at someone and begin to judge them when you don't know the level of the person's understanding of the Scripture. Everyone can't reason like you.

The Biblical Moses, John, Jesus, and the rest of them wore something like skirts, gowns, and sandals that appear like female stuff of today. Would you condemn them today? Why condemn others when God doesn't condemn them? By the way, the so-called yahoo yahoo style of dressing is your own definition. You classify their dressing. You are the one referring to it as a sort of yahoo yahoo style of dressing and not God.

There are people who dress like Angels to church but their words and actions that express the position of their heart are evil. Would you say such people are also Christians? On the other hand, those you may see as dressing like yahoo yahoo boys are kind and very clean in their heart towards the things of God, but on the outside, you've judged them because of their dressing. This is the confusion rocking the church today because of Christianity of the senses.

I'm not in any way supporting bad dressing or behavior, but I'm saying, don't judge anyone. Don't see the people in that class as not being good Christians. Don't classify them. Words and actions, which express the position of the heart are the only things one can try to use and say something about another. I use the word try because everyone is subject to change. You'll be shocked that even an evil person can make heaven through a 30 seconds change of mind/heart towards God before their death, but you that have been talking about God all through your life end up in hell because you feel it was about your outward expressions.

Don't allow the actions or words of others influence how you worship God. Like I said earlier, our walk with God is a personal race. If you like, allow people to dictate how you respond to God. That's your business. But one thing you can never know is how those people close their account with God before they transit from this side of life.

thinkmoney:
We serve God in example more than in the heart

Through our words and actions, God knows who is His own.

Whether you wear trouser, leave your head open or cover it with scarf, God knows those that are worshiping Him in Spirit and in truth. I hate it when people try to point out or try to castigate the action of others because of their own definition of serving God. Sometimes, they even allow others influence how they respond to God. Meanwhile, your worship or service to God is a highly personal thing.

Ilamina:

SmartPolician:
You cannot claim to love your country and be jubiliating when you read bad news about it.

Yes, I campaigned and voted for Peter Obi too, but always rejoicing whenever you read bad news about Nigeria shows you never loved the country in the first place!

You guys need to check yourselves!

When the righteous is in power, the people rejoice. But when the wicked rules, the people grumbles.

Tinubu is a wicked man and you don't expect him to do magic. Whether you supported Obi or the man in power makes no difference. Allow people to mourn about this bad government the way they want.

Mere wishes can't change anything. It can't change the man in Aso Rock or his wicked policies. So, let that guy be.

Maobichek:
Good evening, i really appreciate your maturity and sense of humor but i must tell you the whole truth: ppl are suffering, I'm not sentimental about it. This has nothing to do with tribe/religion ok, in the last 2 weeks, over 7 grown ups(adults) called me for financial help. Many have not receive June salary oh!

I won't be too fast to cast aspersion on PBAT but the way he removed subsidy must be condemned, no palliative, absolutely nothing to cushion the effects on the masses. Nobody has protested and believe that ppl will not hence if he "failed?" He won't blame it on the masses.

Let's call a spade what it is, sir. It's just a wicked form of leadership. He doesn't care about us and I'm putting it that way because the situation on ground suggests same.

Our hustle has been reduced to nonsense because of inflation. People are trekking long distances. Lecturers are packing their cars at home and using taxis to come to work because fueling the car would consume a significant part of their meager salary.

Mehn, there's serious suffering and I'm not happy. In my city, Calabar, kidnapping is now a commonplace. They now kidnap anyone that crosses their lane including Bolt drivers. The kind of hardship created by this government is creating a lot of evil in the land. It never used to be this bad.

hansomb:
that's the cultural set back am talking about. In the Hausa culture there's this thing of begging mentality instead of using one's God giving ability to source for wealth. While the South may not resort to that because of shame ,it may resort to 419 in place of begging. Begging or alm seeking exist among the lower class. And there's this I don't care attitude on building wealth like in the South. Most Northerners live on a day by day bases. From hand to pocket. It's just a mentality thing.

And these are the people that forms the larger North. That's why I said they are more tolerant to hardship. They care less. Even with the hardship, they keep giving birth like fowls, walking around drawing breast from front to back for their babies. These set of people don't fu*kin' care what the government does.

hansomb:
Every Nigeria is used to hardship. The North is contented with what they have which might make them not to even realize if they're suffering or not . Things are relatively cheap in the North compared to the south which means with less income you live a normal life here. If not for terrorism and maybe some cultural setbacks, the North is a Southerners dream. Most Southerners that comes to the North hardly wants to go back. The day I visited a friends wedding in Illorin capital, I had to appreciate what we have in the North. I hardly see a beautiful building in the capital, no any big shopping mall, furnitures and many other things necessary for day to day life. When I visited Lagos in 2006, the way we rush to enter car, the traffic jam, pick pocket and many other societal problem makes me want to get out of the city as soon as possible.

Well, I may be wrong. But with the way I see Northerners begging in the South, I feel they are more tolerant to hardship than Southerners because they hardly see that the government is suffocating the people.

hansomb:
you're a bloody lier to say Southerners are not suffering. What do you take the North for ? The rate of teenage and adult prostitution in southern part is overwhelming. Yahoo yahoo plus, baby factory, drug trafficking etc those negatives are what makes you know if a society is suffering or not.

I said we are not used to hardship as compared to the high level of poverty up North.

Maobichek:
Good day, your second paragraph drew my attention to this thread. I know that ppl are suffering, no doubt about that; those who opposed subsidy removal during GEJ days are now preaching to us to accept it or go to hell despite there is nothing on ground to cushion the effects.

Please i advice you to give PBAT a benefit of doubt, i spend more now compare to the last administration but i choose to be positive. A better country is what we desire and i believe that Nigeria will be better, thank you.

Thanks for your comment.

But do you honestly think that Tinubu wouldn't have been able to put measures on ground before removing the subsidy if he had us in mind at all?

He would have been able to do that but he totally ignored doing that but went ahead to hit on the subsidy removal. That's evil bro. Soon we'll enter July, what has he done with June subsidy that he's recovered? Instead, he's busy suffocating institutions that have been largely helpful.

Soon, WAEC/NECO exam fees is going to rise because they won't be getting support from the government again. They'll have to fund themselves. All the institutions that the councils he just deprived support would begin to fund themselves. What would that mean for the services they head just like the WAEC/NECO example above?

Uten9z:
I am from north east better still u may refer my hometown to middle belt and I never voted the man but I am sure abt now he has the country at heart and our unity a priority and wen thing fall into pleasant places in time I knw I will directly be affected. PBAT has done something notable why is it bad to say it or are you refuting the fact i itemised

People from the North or Middle Belt are used to hardship so you or your people will hardly see anything wrong with Tinubu and his style of governance. I'm a Southerner and I'm not used to hardship and I'm telling you that the man is suffocating us. Buhari was very bad, and Tinubu, if at all he had the interest of Nigerians at heart wouldn't have started this way.

Tell me one thing the government has done that has directly helped reduce hunger and poverty since the days of Jonathan down to Tinubu. I put it to you that the government doesn't have the people at heart. You guys are only hoping.

Uten9z:
He has done quit reasonably, beyound expection

The arrest of CBN governor is a big one towards fighting corruption in Nigeria. By so doing the can of warm is now open, Dss have taken in others inluding EFCC boss, the former NSA name is now coming up.

The security Arms he put in place for the first time have no rivalry , never heard of retiring top officers to bring in a non qualify junior and and have receive a general applaud for him.

The truth is that if Obi were to be the one that remove the fuel subsidy which he said he will if elected, there could have been a total revolution or protest atleast but he successfully have ended it without much alarcrity even though we are expecting parliative including June salary that have not yet been paid even in the difficulties and Salah.

He was able to detect sharp practices and corruption in the IPPIS including salary padding in no time, this lead to immidiate dissolving of the rotted boards of chairmen in the ministries and parastatals which could have cripple his efforts if he try to do contrarily to the corruption they install in the organization.

Their is little or no attempt to influence the legislations obviously so far and other arms of government.

etc
His mandate speaks volume awaiting

You appraise a government based on their ability to make life better for the people more than the way they met them. All these things you are typing here is mere sycophantic expression.

Ask yourself how your life has been better off more than the way Tinubu met it. The funny thing is that nothing is going to soften the present hardship in the land.

I don't know why people like you don't learn nor understand but you claim to be a patriot more than anyone else. How was the last palliative during the COVID period? Keep talking nonsense there and remaining small. Keep praising Tinubu because he's your kinsman.
