Why don't you write a petition?

By the way the advise was rejected because it was not a good one

Acidosis:
Money makes morals and values irrelevant. Money invalidates the norm. You can get away with almost anything when you have the money.

Marriage has suddenly become irrelevant to the same guy that gave out her daughter in marriage some couple of weeks ago. Lol

Same way sex on tv became irrelevant the moment Miracle brought home N45m raw cash to momma. The same momma would probably have disowned her son under a poverty scenario. Same logic apples to politics, etc.

We can criticize all we want but majority of us would dump the norm the moment we see things from the perspective of money.

Nevertheless, there's one thing money can't change! That one thing is called "TRUTH". Runaway from the truth as far as you want, the truth won't change.

Exactly

aribisala0:
There is a context to everything.


When a doctor advises amputation he s not saying having two legs is bad.


If Charly boy advised a person to forget marriage and you were not part of the full conversation then better observe in silence and wisdom

Then he should have made the full conversation public to avoid misleading young minds

I thought Charley is married, and has even given out his daughters in marriage. So, why advice Linda against marriage?

Sarki for President

Cutehector:
and when the government wants to give attention to town planning, the community leaders decline, or the citizens cry foul of demolishing.

Check Dubai in 1984 and today. Government has to override all these village rubbish if we are going to survive

Cutehector:
For you to tackle flooding, you first have to solve the problem of waste management.

It become difficult to solve the problem of waste disposal when you can't access the houses.

That's what we experience here in Umuahia.

Waste disposing trucks are supposed to move round and pickup wastes from houses, but because there's no good road network, the asked people to take the wastes to designated points. Some people are lazy to get to the point, so the dump it anywhere.

Also Umuahia has not been experiencing flood because it has a good drainage system.

The government should really give attention to town planning, if not one day flood will start destroying us like the days of Noah.

Flooding is becoming more threat to Nigeria. with
the kind of pictures we see from sango ota. Why is Nigeria like this? Is there no single law on town planning.

In more responsible nations, only licensed real estate companies are allowed to build. And the follow the standard.

That is the only way out for Nigeria

CastedDude:
A Nigerian journalist, Imani MumZoe, has shared her experience after embarking on an investigate trip to Cross River state to uncover the "Money Marriage Practice'' under the platform of Channels TV. Money Marriage is an old traditional practice synonymous with the Becheve tribes in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State, South South Nigeria where an elderly man buys a little girl for a wife.

Obanliku Local Government Area is situated in Northern Cross River State, approximately eight hours drive from Calabar the State Capital to access.

According to the journalist, the traditional practice is presently ongoing in a remote part of Cross River State South South Nigeria where, young girls are being sold out for a kind of marriage known as, "The Money Marriage" and the victim, Money Woman.

The practice which is as old as tradition itself is carried out without the consent of the girl who in most cases, is sold out to clear debts owed by a family relation even before her birth.

At each of the communities visited, victims of the Money Marriage through the help of the missionary were quick to share with Channels Television their experiences as Money Women or Money wives.

The Money Woman practice according to tribes in becheve is a status thing and a show of pride as there is virtually no family in Becheve that is not without a Money Woman.

The victims are most times used to settle debts owed by her relatives and when her husband dies, his next-of-kin marries her and if the girl-wife dies without giving birth to children, her parents are obligated to bring a replacement in accordance with customary demands.

In cases where a money woman gets pregnant by another man, the husband hold claims of the children and if the woman eventually gives birth to a baby girl, she is in turn sold out to a willing buyer without her consent.

‘Money Wives’ are not allowed the right to education and in every sale, the girl’s opinion is not sought. She is the bread winner.

Victims of this marriage are sold for as low as Ten Thousand Naira, few goats and pigs, tubers of yam, depending on the man's bargain power.

The buyer determines what he does with the money woman even if he uses her for ritual purposes.

Once a girl is sold out for Money Marriage, she is considered dead by her own immediate family and warned never to return back irrespective of how she is being treated by her husband or his relatives.

Is it not time that everything about African tradition is abolished? From the ooni of I've to the emir of sultan of sokoto.

Tradition is really keeping Africa in bondage. I wonder why the British colonists didn't outlaw all these rubbish.

That's a religious ritual

Angelanest:
Victoria’s life was marked by daunting challenges - including facing a tumor that began growing when she was just 18 years old. The brave 24-year-old made the journey to the ship alone to find healing, and along the way, received so much more than surgery.

After the procedure to remove the massive tumor, it was a lengthy healing process for Victoria. As you can see, it drastically changed the way she looked as well as how she viewed herself.

According to Mercy Ship, after the tumor was removed, Victoria discovered levels of confidence she’d never had before. “Thank you for making me beautiful,” she told a nurse after her operation. “You’ve always been beautiful,” the nurse replied. We’re so thankful Victoria can believe this about herself now too!

DragonKnight:
I don't agree with the attempts being made to impeach PMB because of his lack of consultation with National Assembly in the procurement of the 12 Embraer Super Tucano airplanes. Why? Because I believe that his motives were clearly to equip our Military in the fight against insurgency and it has been far too long since Nigeria has been attempting to close this deal and procure those aircrafts. Also the US authorities having confirmed receiving the money, means that this time the purchase was not marred by corruption and embezzlement, as was the case in some past attempts to procure ammunitions and equipments for the Military. I believe the National Assembly is required by law to caution him for leaving them out of the loop, but calls to impeach him for this act is to me totally uncalled for.

He might have spent it for good purpose, but if due process is not followed, you won't know when he will spend it for evil purpose.

Democracy is to check tyranny

I'm tempted to call president buhari a big fool. But I will not do so.

Even if the killers are from Libya, why didn't the kill people in kano, katsina, sokoto etc? Why Benue?

Who invited them to Benue? How did Benue wrong them? Who is paying them?

So, you can see that president buhari is a very big fool for saying that the herdsmen don't carry ak47, but I'm not going to call him that until he is impeached or voted out in 2019

Respect55:
Heart of women is desperately wicked

Yet they are more in numbers in churches

martineverest:
the catholic were even more bittered that they asked the president to resign for his inability to curb herdsmen and even opted for a nationwide protest...the president swiftly suspended herdsmen activities in troubled states..the pressure from Nigerians and anger of catholic bishops yielded results.

compare catholic reaction to that of oyedepo

Everyone must not be as gentle as dove. Some were created to roar like lion

martineverest:
I'm not a Fulani man.... ordinary man can make inciteful statement,not not a man of God that is suppose to be preaching peace and love.

Quite funny you don't understand why he feels bitter. Worshippers were slaughtered in their place of worship and nothing was done.

Don't tell me you won't feel the same way if you were among those worshippers

martineverest:
oyedepo is just showing pure hatred ....there's a better way of criticising govt than showing hatred and using insulting words......just look at the way orthodox churches are handling it professionally,while the Pentecostals and CAN are spewing hatred....

some churches are busy protesting peacefully, heaven's gateman/tithe collector is busy spewing hatred


I guess he is just bittered cos no more free money...where was he when book haram was killing Christians during Jonathan's era?


what did he say when money was been diverted during last elections?...rather him and oritsejafor were helping govt share money amongst pastors.


I'm not a fan of APC or PDP ,

You must be a Fulani herdsman

Just wait for your family to be wiped out so you can protest peacefully and handle it professionally

authority2006:
What exactly did Oyedepo, the scammer want Osinbajo to do? Something he has not done already, somebody should help ask him.

If he does not know what to do, he should resign and allow another person take his place.

Better than being a part of this killer government

martyns303:
What do Oyedepo expect a "mere commissioner" to do?

On a more serious note, I won't even bring religion into this, but I think the people of Benue are too docile and their Governor is too weak. u hide in ur houses, they hunt u down. u run to church, they massacre u. u try to farm, they colonize ur farm produce and rape your wives and u r carrying placard protesting? The military is against u, the police is not helping. at what point do u take stand and fight for ur life? all die na die, better die fighting than sitting down and getting killed like a coward. Every human have a right to life, u as an individual have the right and as prescribed by law to protect it. u don't sit around and let someone else take it from u. The only way to fight terror is with terror, when u hurt me and I hurt u worst, u will think twice about showing up at my doorsteps.

You are correct.

I don't think this can happen to Yoruba people.

Is it not this same herdsmen that fayose brought to order.

It means Benue as a people has no leadership

mascotman:
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/266515-governor-ortom-speaks-as-army-arrests-aide-for-masterminding-benue-killings.html

When the herdsmen move their guns and carry out attacks, nobody sees them.


When you kill the farmers, feed your cow with the yams and turn their farms to grazing land, watch out for farmine.

One day, you'll look for yams to eat, and find none

coolcatty:
start the impeachment proceedings by removing that docile,silyyy,mundane,fearful,relic called ortom

He is yet to inaugurate and arm a local vigilante service that will protect and guide his people from these blood suckers.

Niiigah fcccccck ortom....i feel so so sad.

Benue people should be ashamed of themselves wherever they are.

BoneBlogger:
A man was visibly overjoyed after undergoing a surgery to correct a huge tumor on his face. According to reports, the growth started as a minor flesh wound after a motorcycle accident 15 years ago, which later developed into a keloid tumor that took over Leon's life.

The man is still recuperating from the successful surgery as he's been given a reason to smile again.

Good

iHart:
Greetings.

I want to take out a small space here to tell the story of how I started a soap making business. The essence of this is to help those who may wish to venture into the soap business and also to inspire people to try out some entrepreneurial ventures (not necessarily soap making). I must say that many stories and individuals here have added to my inspiration. People like Cosmeticchemist, Gbadexy, O2 soap (O2 Nigeria), Blackkie (Britishknight or 1kingwriter), Jasper7, through their stories have inspired me so much into believing "I can do it if only I put my mind to it". So I wish to help and inspire more people.

In the course of this story we are going to see how I was able to get my machines, learn and start soap making business. I hope to find time to attend to every questions as much as I can. By the end of the day, depending on how it goes, we may have to conduct a live seminar for those who will want to go into small scale soap making business. If possible, we may consider creating a small group of partners and then crowd funding to help them setup and manage a tangible small scale soap making business. We will also discuss and interact with existing soap makers who are having difficulties in running there business due cost, and map out strategies to move forward effectively and efficiently.

We fabricate and install efficient soap making machines and equipment. We also manage soap making facilities on contract basis. We conduct test run for already installed machines. We train company staff on soap making. We are also open to partnership. Fill free to contact me for your enquiries on soap making business. Check my signature for my contact phone number.

Thank you.

Good job

LesbianBoy:
So yesterday ebuka announced on stage that the Big Brother Naija show recorded 170 million votes.

Now let's do a little calculation. If Big Brother Naija recorded 170 million votes at thirty naira each. That's approximately 5.1 billion naira.

Ayemi temi bami

And we are here shouting Miracle for the cash, Cee C for the money, Tobi for the mulla

O ja mi la ra je!

Its time for silver bird to start big brother Lagos (bbl)

Jadenmcfadden:
I can start a recycle & waste management company in Nigeria .But my company must be included in the national budget and paid yearly . all waste in Nigeria will be taken cared of . You now some ventures are better managed privately than by government.
in my system, every neighborhood will have a waste disposal which will be emptied every week or month. every household will get a mandatory standard garbage bin which will be picked up and emptied every week or month.

This could be the best solution. Privatization. Since the government can't handle it.

The dirt is dangerous to health as well as the economy

TheUpsetGirl1:
I'm just confused.
is there anything wrong in having sex after traditional marriage?
The weird thing is some people especially ladies usually say stuffs like; wait till after wedding, honeymoon.

so is the traditional marriage not a marriage?
if you think it's useless why did you agree to traditional marriage in the first place?

After spending a lot of money in paying for bride price and the marriage ,you still refuse to have sex.
If you were to be in that man's shoes, won't you leave?

Some ladies also forget that wedding is supposed to be footed by the parents of the bride, when Africans want to copy things they only copy the part they think is favourable to them and leave the other part.
Just as the wedding system was copied, in the countries it was copied from the parents of the bride foot the wedding but in Africa the man is expected to foot the traditional marriage and the wedding, isn't that insane?


to my question; what's Wrong with sex after traditional marriage??

Its wrong because you haven't given the pastor a fat envelope, therefore your marriage has not been registered in heaven.

Marriage vow is supposed to be holy and honorable. If you've already opened and tasted the package after traditional wedding, what are you coming to do in church again?

To avoid stress. Celebrate both traditional and church weddings the same day. After church wedding in the morning, celebrate the trad in the afternoon and also have your reception there. Full stop!

reality1010:
Is it the greedy igbo that stole Nigeria dry like Gowon, Obasanjo²,Umaru Dikko, IBB, Abacha whose financial theft is endless, Abubakar Abudsalami, ObJ, and Buhari/Osinbajo? Are u not ashamed that ur theft since 1966 has plunged Nigeria into economic recession for years?Your people steal and when they cannot steal from the government they turn to looting Igbo properties.

Its a fact that the Igbo's contributed most to the economic development of this country. Others go their to loot the oil money.

Igbo's have created wealth out of nothing.

An Igbo woman in the person of Dr okonjo iweala, help move this country 100 years forward when our debt was forgiven.

The fact is, the economic freedom of this country is in the hand of an Igbo man.

Daddy Freeze has been a major critic of Nigerian Pastors’ teaching that Tithes are compulsory as Christians.

Today, he calls on Pastor Adeboye to come and see Popes who do not pay tithe drinking beer. If they will really make heaven.

Interesting!

Does that mean I can now start taking a little Indian hemp and a little cocaine?

Why did ndlea ban cocaine? We can just sniff moderately and not get high.

Daddy freeze, be careful what thou teachest thy children.

Every addiction starts with one sip, and a little more, and a little more. Until the little more becomes no longer enough because the brain has become accustomed to it. Until the individual is enslaved in addiction. Until the life is ruined.
