@Bolded, for real? damn. This case is beyond my understanding, the church must have really dealt with his psychic for a very time before it graduated to this level.

One thing I learnt from our forefathers is that as a man, you shouldn't give woman much freedom, they don't need it. If this man had stopped his wife from going to that such on time, this wouldn't have happened.

Lol... These things are somewhat subliminal than anything. Imagine going to a place for years and everything you get to hear the most is that enemies abound around you. With time, one would start seeing enemies where there are none. It's the same way some Christian folks would see adorable cats and scream 'Blood of Jesus'.

The emboldened... Times have changed greatly and the beauty of any relationship is respect; respect for the other person's privacy and decisions (even though you are together). The most important is praying that one chooses a wise woman.

Like seriously, this is the only time I wish the whole of Nigeria, had the northerners aggressive spirit,trust me MTN,SHOP-RITE, DSTV for don japa back to their xenophobic HIV ridden people..

Nobody has monopoly of violence .

And you'd be the one to employ those who'd lose their jobs when these companies are chase out?

I don't understand, why is it that it is mainly Nigerians that are stabbed often in South Africa? South Africa has people from different parts of the world but I hardly hear of nationals of Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Congo Drc, Zimbabweans, Cameroonians, Togolese, etc killed the way Nigerians are killed almost on a monthly basis, something is not adding up, could it be drug, yahoo plus, minus, square root related?

Mostly drugs. One time, a community in South Africa claimed their teenagers (males and females) have become junkies and Nigerians are their suppliers. Some alleged that low cash forced their girls into Prostitution and Nigerians are the one in the pimping industry; giving out South African young girls out for cash and they tend to operate some networking style.

An entire community cannot be wrong. It is a good thing you mentioned that other nationalities are not attacked but Nigerians. There is always an underlying cause.

goodnessme1:
To show you how evil nigeria and it people from waste and not are,
every year they will commemorate the rwandan genocide but talk about remembering the people killed in biafra war,these set of people will kick against it all just to run away from history,

To be fair, Ojukwu's act was seen as one of treason. Secession move everywhere in the world is seen in such light. That the Nigerian government would 'honour fallen treasonous heroes' is unimaginable.

I expected Bianca to lash out at Eastern governors and the Ohaneze over this and not at the Federal government. Before June 12 issue became a national concern last year, states like Osun, Ogun, Oyo and Lagos made it big deals annually to celebrate the 'robbed democracy' that got Abiola killed. The Yoruba never asked that other parts of the country celebrate their 'fallen hero'. They did it themselves.

Ojukwu was a hero to his people and they should set aside a day to celebrate him as one like the Yorubas set aside June 12 every year.

What am I even saying? 'Jack, the dog' was the only fallen hero Kanu remembered, out of the 'scores' of people killed in his father's compound. IPOB never published their names till date.

Bottom line: don't expect others to wipe your arse for you. If you can't do it, be ready to walk around with flies hovering around your bum.

Efewestern:
Issues like these are the major reason some of us don't identify with the Christian faith, so many people have really messed things up, leading us to question every gadamm things they feed us with.

In this case, the wife thinks everyone is after her, to the extent of using holy water on everyone, I bet this was the instructions of her pastor, such gullibility.

I even doubt if the man courted with his wife.

Lol! I personally have an issue with the 'prayer-fire, die, terminator, kill and destroy, annihilate, genocidal, enemy' doctrine in Christianity. A friend's dad is unwell because of something similar. His was so bad that he would 'speak in tongue' against his kids and wife, neighbours and anyone who greets him.

Sadly, the church is always responsible one way or another. They find it convenient to teach spiritual sensitivity and how to spot demons in our immediate surrounding. You don't see them after fingering the person's brain so bad that it becomes a Yaba left case.

Left to me, I'd say the issue is rather small and should have been settled before it got to this. Courtship or not, religious folks don't care and they rarely see anything wrong in listening to their pastors more than their spouses.

Efewestern:
Well said, both the niece and the pastor have to go, but the pastor is the major ish here, he has done more damage than good, once a person start seeing everyone as a threat / witch /wizard, just know his/her case is irredeemable, probably suffering from some mental illness.

Exactly. I personally have tons of issues with churches where everything they see and understand is death, enemies, witches, wizards and village people. One way or another, they all have ways of leading their followers toward madness and undue paranoia.

Prepositional confusion. 'On' is much more acceptable than 'in' in this regard.

I think the wife's attitude corroborate with religious and churchy folks. They tend to place their pastors way above their husbands and homes and would readily go with the pastor's counsel rather than respect what their man dishes.

The man cannot be absolved in any way. He should have met with the so-called pastor and made you tag along as a friend. Doing that would have lessened the tension in the home as the pastor would understand better not to meddle in people's homes, after being warned sternly, of course. Worse still, beating the wife.

It was obvious the man was never in control of the home the moment the wife started attending the church, which almost makes me believe they found themselves in a club house and got married just like that. Whatever happened to counseling during courtship?

I wouldn't subscribe to writing the national HQ of the church. Most times, the protocols involved could see the marriage in total ruins before the letter would get to the appropriate quarters. The pastor remains the only useful link here. She has the woman's head messed already in the name of the devil and won't stop till her home falls apart totally.

The househelp/niece has to go. It doesn't just make sense that she got the liver to act the way she does to your friend's wife, save she's been 'getting her liver' elsewhere.

odigbosky:
I just want to say one thing. I am Edo and from the south south. If the Presidency isn't going south east or south south, I and my family would rather vote a northerner than vote a person from the south west. Those guys are backstabbers.

Were you born yesterday? The last time power shifted to the South, it was a South South clueless drunk from Bayelsa who called the shots and shut out a part of the South while he favoured another part of the South, LEAVING HIS OWN REGION TO SUFFER!

Why should power return to a part of the South it left just recently? Anyone who wants it the most works for it. If you think the demands of one lapdog called Ohaneze or IPOB would see others drop powers on the laps of the Igbos then you need to think again. Any part of the South can gun for the position, it depends on who enjoys the best of alliance. This is Azikiwe 101,by the way.

FuckThaMod:
Biafra is my last option

Option 1 : Both parties field igbo candidate
Option 2 : one party field yoruber and the other field a notherner
Option 3 : Biafra


Fielding a yoruber in one party and an Igbo in the other party is No No No! We can't take that chance

How does option 2 favour your people, knowing full well that you lots refer to the Yorubas as slaves of the North? You don't mind being the very slaves you call others just because you don't want a divide to win? Funny!

The emboldened, sadly, is the reality that would hit most of you should either of the major parties present an Igbo candidate. You are trusted to deliver for the PDP and the North but never considered an ally. A Yoruba vs Igbo election would look like Real Madrid vs Kano Pillars match; unrealistic, but very brutal to watch.

hammerFC:
THE NORTH AND THE BETTER SOUTH ARE CONTENDERS. (SS/SE)


ESPECIALLY THE IGBOS AND IJAW, WE DONT NEED TO BE IN POWER TO BURN DOWN THE ZOO.


HAUSAFULANI UNDERSTAND THAT, IF EVER THEY CROSS A FINE LINE, WE WILL ARM OURSELVES AND FOLLOW DEM BACK TO THE NORTH FOR THE FINAL BATTLE.


WE ARE NOT PRETENDERS LIKE YORUBA.


IN FACT, AS IT STANDS NOW, THE AVERAGE IGBO MAN IS VERY ANGRY AND IT WONT TAKE MUCH BEFORE WE ARM AND GO TO WAR.

War already? Are you saying you guys have ditched Atiku so soon? You just couldn't wait for the election tribunal before romancing your Biafra dream again, could you?

At the emboldened, you guys are clowns; fit for circus laughs.

MetaPhysical:
Ibo cannot win national election as a presidential candidate without Yoruba endorsement.

Go back to days of NCNC in the 50s and 60s. Its political base was Lagos. Get a list of the political mavericks of the NCNC, the ones that gave it success and you will see they were majority Yorubas, followed by people in what later became Midwest, and then Ibos. But after winning victories Azikiwe rewarded the Ibos above the Midwesterners and Yorubas. This is what led Akintola to make that popular broadcast warning Yorubas about Ibos.

Yorubas formed NCNC, formed AG, UPN, AD, ACN and now in APC. These were all very successful parties in their eras, either in opposition or in ruling.

Make a list of parties formed by Ibos and you cant find progress or popularity.

While Yorubas are eyeing Osinbajo as a legacy of Awolowo through his marriage and hoping he will run in 2023 so we can rally behind him.....in APGA Mrs Ojukwu, the legacy of Ikemba, was kicked out of Anambra and told she cannot be Senator because she is not indigene and told to go to Enugu.

This is spot on. However, it would be fair to say Buhari's APC is failure personified.

nepapole:
He looks like leonardo di caprio..... Too much resemblance. Nawa ooo!

Leo what?

KwoiZabo:
I don't blame Tinubu, I blame people like the writer (who are so many with us here in Lagos) for making Tinubu Powerful. Another thing that makes tinubu powerful is that many Yorubas think/know that if Tinubu's dynasty fails, it will open Lagos political space and allow "non-indigenes" to have a greater say in Lagos politics, so Tinubu is a rallying point.
Talking about, IGR and development, Lagos has performed averagely. I can count 10 stets that has performed better than Lagos since the return to democracy. Lagos is the dirtiest state, has the worst roads etc the only thing that works for lagos and makes its IGR high is (1) Its location, (2) its the defunct capital of the country - FG left massive infrastructure like Ports (Sea & Air), Bridges (3rd Mainland etc), Stadiums, National theatre, Housing Estates, Buildings (braod street) etc. No state can boast of all these. (3) Security - I must give this to the yorubas, they are Peaceful unlike the North and NigerDelta.

Tinubu's Dynasty will end very soon - latest2027

At the emboldened, kindly mention ONLY THREE STATES and send me a PM. I'll reward you, I swear down. Be sure to back them with stats.

Efewestern, recall this was what we discussed on the other thread some days ago?

2023 is going to be an interesting year, no doubt.

I'm even confused at this point

LMAO, Nigerians!

The news is actually true. The Nation broke it about an hour ago and other outfits followed. However, The Nation never mentioned herbalist or anything close to it. Where the OP got his gist is beyond me.

I pray it is Ischemic. Hemorrhagic Stroke is fatal and difficult to treat.

Depot:
Dismissal is not enough. he should be jailed for 25 years so that others will learn.

Jailed, for taking a life? No! He should be sentenced to death. That will serve as a deterrent to other policemen.

leye4u:
what you explained about him is what is called business... He is into services and not physical goods
Entrepreneurship is about creating value in exchange for money..... It could be goods or services

B what

With the emboldened, I give up already. Have a nice day.

Hedonisst:
Ednut is an entrepreneur, as is anyone who makes a living by selling anything! It could be your platform or space, your product, service or anything.

It won't hurt to pretend to be smart. Entrepreneurs are puzzle/problem solvers and game changers.

They are driven by an inside force whose sole motive is to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. An entrepreneur's business makes lives of people around better in some way or another. If you have developed a solution to a problem and have found a way to capitalize on it, you can call yourself an entrepreneur. Not just sit behind an account and post videos and 18+ videos, advertise and all. There is more to being an entrepreneur than just making money.
