As we speak she has moved back to her mom’s house with the two kids, what do I do

You said lots of things in the beginning of this year and none them is going the way you said it will be.

This logic does not work in any life situation.

Na recipe for disaster.

Under which rule are you categorised this In case we want to report?

There are things that the public are interested in but seem not to be getting the due attention of the president. At least, there is no communication about these things. For instance, the restoration of the social investment programme. Over a month ago, it was announced that it will resume urgently, even as an emergency. It is now April, and this has not been restored.

Who will tell the president? Specifically, in February, the coordinating minister of the economy, Mr. Edun, said restarting the direct cash transfer was crucial to tackling food prices, especially elevated prices, and also, government's ability that it will help government's ability to provide purchasing power to at least 60 million people who are less well off. Has this been done?

Who will tell the president that the investigation of the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Beta Edu, is taking too long? How long will it take for a decision to be taken on the report of the EFCC, and how long will it take to have a substantive minister named back to that ministry, or has the president approved the idea to move some of the programmes to the Ministry of Finance?

Who will tell the president that the emergency economic intervention bill is still lying fallow on someone's desk somewhere? This is a bill that attempts to codify some of the tax reform proposals from the Presidential Tax Reform Committee alongside other urgent economic measures. When is that bill going to be sent to the National Assembly? Members of the National Assembly are saying that they've had no movement on this bill since November. Who will tell the president this?

Who will tell the president that now that the CBN is able to get the naira to some stability, it's time to tax luxury items that are being imported and cut off our heavy importation so that we can save the naira, so that we can spend less foreign exchange? India did a similar thing when Mahatma Gandhi said, and I quote, "If India cannot feed herself, let India starve. If India cannot clothe herself, let India go naked". It was at the time when India was facing such a crisis as we are facing now in Nigeria; tough times demand tough decisions.

Who will tell the president that instead of an investigation into an allegation of smuggling by known people that has been reported by journalists, especially the Foundation for Investigative Journalism, what we see is an attempt to criminalise journalism. Instead of our authorities to investigate such allegations that are already reported publicly, what we are being told is that there are petitions against the journalists.

Who will tell the president that the attempts to intimidate the press is not in Nigeria's best interests and that it creates a poor reflection on the president that we all know is a true democrat? If the smuggling allegations that Soyombo has reported are inaccurate and false, the government should tell us. Going after him and the board of FIJ is not the way to go.

Who will tell the president that all of these are happening under his watch and that it does have implications for his legacy? One day, four years, eight years maximum, he will be a former president. What is going to be said about attempts by people under him to intimidate journalists?

Who will tell the president that for months since Nigeria has withdrawn ambassadors from our embassies abroad, their replacements have not been announced? And now our embassies are operating below capacity without substantive envoys.

Who will tell the president that in diplomacy, in the world of diplomacy, the place of a properly accredited ambassador cannot be compared to anyone below him acting in that capacity? Who will tell the president that this is not in the best interest of Nigeria's foreign policy?

These are some of the issues that we hope that somebody who has the president's ear will bring to his attention. At the end of the day, it is about what the president does and what he does not do, and then I have my take for the week.

Neddyogu:
What if the long clothes gets caught on something and they trip and fall perhaps with a cracked skull?

SQLmastar:
The only question I have: why did Pst Anita and Chris get divorced?
Why couldn't they settle their differences?
I mean, several people looked up to them!

The "Fake it" sounds like a question. It sounds like, "Fake it?". I don't mean to defend the pastor. But I am being careful.

Some of you haven't spoken in tongues yet. Even though everybody is speaking in tongues around you, you still don't speak in tongues. Why because you are saying to yourself "I don't want to force anything. If God is going to give me his special tongues he will give me." (laughter)

You believe that somehow when God is ready the real tongues will come.

And there are some of you, you used to speak in tongues until you were deceived by Satan that the tongues you were speaking were made up by yourself. So you stopped. Now you pray with your mounth open hoping somehow... (laughter). Nothing is coming out. You're thinking "I don't want to fake it".

Fake It? Why didn't you fake it before you were born again? (the crowd pauses for a moment and then erupts)

Yankee101:
@seun, your advert on top of the home page is intrusive
We want you to make advert money but not at the expense of quality
Abeg address that. You can put all at the bottom. Don’t forget some of these adverts are phishing scams

Joy2dworldxyz:
I have actually been in a pastor Adeboye's program where someone on wheel chair was healed.... Men, that day I say God's rugged powerlive!!

Raylight2:
Boss, can you find anyone in that colour of dress among those brought out?

Elzazzi:
Seun stop talking on what you know nothing about.

Jesus didn't go to hospitals, they came to him or came to call him

Gerrard59:
Whenever you see such accounts, take it as one of the accounts Seun created to stir up topics. When Nairaland was young, dude most likely created hundreds of accounts which would be used to create topics aimed at stirring a discussion - thus generating web traffic.
