Thank you my brother. The war-mongerers are on their own.

I wonder what they see in war torn countries like Somalia, Sierra-Leone, and Cot D'Ivoire that makes them think that the path of armed conflict is the way forward for Nigeria

She's a new member, so let's give Mona a warm welcome.

The winner is hot-angel. Where is her gift? I want to inspect it!

sorry, I wrote this post under the impression that they were already married

kinghenry: There are a lot of men who would gladly trade in their educated wives who are terrors at home for yours, and they will even give you change on top. It is irritating to read about someone wanting to get a divorce because his wife cannot read when others have more serious problems to worry about - like being afraid to come home because of your wife, catching your wife 'under' another man, difficulties bearing children, etc. And here you are saying your wife can't speak English so you are contemplating divorce.

I am not saying that what you're going through is hard but what is marriage all about if you cannot stick with a woman who hasn't wronged you at all just because you think your friends look down on her. How do you know that some of them don't envy you? How do you know that they are not thinking, "if I had known, I'll have married that sweet girl from the village that my parents picked for me and and my life will not have been hell. Just look at kinghenry and his wife, no stress!" Supposing something happens in your business and you fail, how many of those friends will abandon you due to the same "shame" that is leading you to want to leave your wife?

I am not saying that it's not hard for you to deal with, but I'm just reminding you that the grass on the other side always looks greener. As you are, there are some of y[b]our colleagues envying you[/b] but you won't know until you marry a new wife and divorce her after 6 months for a different, more serious, reason. Then they will come to you and say, "kinghenry, I was surprised when you decided to divorce that your sute, quiet, and nice wife but I just decided to say nothing and see what happens with the new one".

Was there any advanced notice? Can you give us more information about what led to this incident? I'm sorry about this, AngelaZ.

However, please note that violence is never the answer. The Ivoriens and Sierra-Leonians you mentioned are experiencing much more suffering than we ever have, and the wars have only increased their problems.

All I know is that if you have a friend like that, you should marry him when you're older or else it's going to end in a very painful way.

A good gift is what the other person wants and not what you want. Giving a gym membership gift to your spouse so he can be as slim as you want is a form exploitation and not a gift at all. A gift is what the other person wants.

There is absolutely no difference between love and friendship. Friendship is what love aspires to but passion makes us reason like animals and crave relationships that are not realistic. If you don't marry a friend, how's your marriage going to last? Or perhaps you are one of those people who believe that love is not meant to last, michelin89?

Obviously you are commitment-phobic and need counseling. You should limit your relationships to the level of casual sex until you're ready to commit. That way, you will get the sex that you want without the pain of having a girl who wants to marry you or something.

You may never get married, but that probably doesn't matter to you because you are a different kind of person - this is neither a compliment nor a criticism, but an observation. At least you won't be preventing your girlfriends from getting married.

Thank you o, my sister.  When you shut down commercial activities, it is the poor people who live on the day-to-day proceeds of their small businesses that will lose the most.  Followed by the entrepreneurs who create jobs for others but earn no money when employees refuse to come to the work.  Government officials don't lose anything whatsoever.

Those who want to "shut down Nigeria" are either criminal elements and enemies of the masses.  I have absolutely no sympathy for such people, and I am calling on them to stop this nonsense.  The best way to defend the MASSOB leader is to contribute money and use it to hire a good lawyer.  You can send articles to news agencies worldwide explaining why this men should not be punished. If indeed they is innocent, the truth will prevail.

Why not go for the girls in your area irrespective of the color of their skin?

All it takes to legalize prostitution is a campaign from a couple of sweet talkers in the national house of assembly. Some of them will have to be women, and they'll need to spin stories about how prostitutes may be robbed or asaulted in the course of their business and won't be able to go to the police for fear of being arrested for prostitution.

So the rights of the women who participate in this business can be protected by law. We can't beat them, so why don't we join them?

What would you like to know?

The only thing they can learn from this discussion is how to go for plastic surgery. Feminists in the house, why don't you speak up here?

But guess what? It was sold to fishermen that was around when it was killed at the amount of five thousand naira only. It could have been preserved. My friend is one of the people on the ship deck."

Pretty cool, isn't it?

Hello spiked, you'll never know if your business will be successful until you try!

I wonder if you can modify your idea so you offer your culinary services to students on campus instead of corporate bodies outside the school. That way you can save the time and money that will have been spent on shuttling around.

Apart from that, there's only one thing I have to say to you: "go for it!"

Layi, if she's not interested in improving, then leave her alone. This issue is not worth losing a friend over. Friends are supposed to accept each other. If she wanted an English tutor, she'll have hired one. Now since she does not want an English tutor, what do you gain by troubling her?

He has done a good job. He employed Ngozi Okonji-Iyeala as Finance minister and got us billions of dollars in debt relief. He reaches out to foreign investors to let them know that Nigeria is safe for business. He has done well so far.

It would have been better to use our energy to talk about what we like. It is always best to look at things from the positive angle!

Lauryn, your idea is a good one. I thought I dropped a comment that this is not necessarily something for the government to do. This is something that the private sector can begin to do. For example, you could sponsor a bright student and have him work for you for a few years after graduation and do his internship at your place, too.

Nice stats.

About President Obasanjo's rule:
- The coup that brought him into power the first time was not his doing.
- He willingly left the seat of power after a short time.
- His last 8 years have been by the people's choice.
