All I see here is freedom. Where is the issue?

AfroKnight:
For those naija men outside naija, it’s because they think too much and are afraid to love a woman who would use the system to defraud them legally.

For those in naija, it’s for a number of reasons. Naija babes are not loyal. They always lookout for themselves first. Once your usefulness in their lives end, they end the relationship/marriage. Men are trying to avoid that, so they remain single and opt for babymama arrangement if they need kids.

It may also be because the men intend to relocate abroad and they would rather not take their nemesis along. So they resign to a single life.

Thirdly, it could be that some men want to solve certain economic/financial issues before adding the responsibilities of a wife to the load they carry.

Everything here points to the prevalent fact that young Nigerian women do not carry their own weight. Once you ask them out, it’s like they open a ledger for you as a debtor. They use you for your resources then demand to be treated like an equal. Lol. Men are tired of slaving for women.

You see single and even married women online openly asking for trips, perks, gifts and money. It’s almost like every man owes them. You never know who is going to use his money to trigger your wife’s release clause. Even the faithful ones think they must be rewarded with marriage for standing by you while you were struggling. Why would any sane man want to marry such a woman who thinks she’s entitled to his possessions just because she was present while he was struggling without even contributing tangibly to his progress?

So unbalanced.

If marriage was such a sweet deal, more men would embrace it. Many of those who are married were pressured by their parents to get married or were young and blinded by initial infatuation which later faded away and revealed the true nature of their wives.

Women have turned this marriage thing into a punishment for men. It shouldn’t be so.

Men are the ones truly settling down. They settle and put up with broke, unworthy women who offer nothing but drama and the possibility of paternity fraud and strife in a family that was fine until the man brought in a wife.

Marriage should be sweet but naija women fail to realise that both partners MUST contribute to a happy marriage, not just the man.

You deserve a national merit award.

Chai! See number of people viewing this thread.

It still doesn't answer the questions:

1. what did you call the "unnecessary back and forth on the Tunisian guy"?
2. what did u say I was doing by going back and forth?
3. Can't you repeat what u said?

Ykc2:
any state giving what was giving to lagos and the state is not performing then something is wrong,people pay through their noses in lagos

Talk of 'giving' or 'given', no state in Nigeria should give any excuse. The people should question their governors on allocations, monthly security vote, world bank assistance, random funds (e.g. Paris club refund that Buhari mandated should be distributed to them) etc. Enough with the excuses.

This should be adopted as a national policy, as a matter of urgency!

Let me join some morons in asking why Onitsha-Awka-Enugu is not there

lexy2014:
Pls don't give up.
1. what did you call the "unnecessary back and forth on the Tunisian guy"?

Haaaaa!!!!!! This one don pass craze o

lexy2014:
And what did you call the "unnecessary back and forth on the Tunisian guy"?

I give up.

Igbofam:
Well I spoke from hindsight and wished for the best based on that. Logic doesn't work with suppositions

You are right, logic doesn't work with suppositions.

Igbofam:
Always wish for the best and not the worst

I addressed logic, not wish. He is dead, wish no longer applies.

Igbofam:
Perhaps he would have still been alive if he didn't Japa. Even Saner climes couldn't save him

... and perhaps he would have died long before now.

lexy2014:
If u deliberately ignored the past, then what exactly did you bring to my attention about wasting time?

I pointed it out that you should just correct people instead of repeatedly asking questions leading to unnecessary back and forth e.g. the back and forth on the Tunisian guy.
We are already towing the path of back and forth questions again

Few glasses of kaikai can easily do what motivational speakers cannot do in 5 years.

It was no accident, we planted Maguire as agent at Man U. Let them allow others reign for long too

lexy2014:
I don't think you understood the question. I didn't ask you about the future. I asked about the past.

Did I waste your time by going back and forth? If I did, pls let me know

I clearly did. I deliberately ignored the past.

lexy2014:
My good friend Shikena, thank u for your observation. Did I waste your time by going back and forth? If I did, pls let me know

You are welcome. I will let you know when it happens again

lexy2014:
In the screenshot, was it written that Mohammed bouazizi was an Egyptian?

My good friend Lexy, you are correct here but why not just make corrections when you observe an error and move on? Why are you always interested in these time wasting back and forth online? Bouazizi is Tunisian, simple.

Abramovich uncovered: Train theft and kidnap in secret document

New evidence about the corrupt deals that made Roman Abramovich his fortune in Russia have been uncovered.

The BBC obtained a document that is thought to have been smuggled out Russia by a confidential source, who claimed they had secretly copied the information on Abramovich from Russian law enforcement agencies.

This could not be verified but the BBC investigated the claims and found other sources to corroborate them .

The Chelsea owner – who was sanctioned by the UK government last week for his links with Vladimir Putin and has had all his assets frozen – is said to have made his billions buying an oil company from the Russian government in a rigged auction in 1995.

Abramovich paid around $250m for Sibneft, before selling it back to the Russian government for $13bn in 2005.

The oligarch has already admitted in a UK court in 2012 that he gave former business associate Boris Berezovsky – the man suing him – $10m to pay off a Kremlin official.

It’s claimed much of the money borrowed by Abramovich to buy Sibneft came from the Russian government.

The secret document says ‘shortly before the auction… a government minister deposited $137m dollars of the budget money’ (Russian taxpayers’ money) into a bank, which then lent Abramovich the money to buy the company.

The BBC document adds yet more meat to the bones, claiming the Russian government (and by proxy the Russian people) was cheated out of $2.7bn in the Sibneft deal.

The document states that ‘if Abramovich could be brought to trial he would have faced accusations of fraud… by an organised criminal group’.

Russia’s former chief prosecuter, Yuri Skuratov, who investigated the deal in the 1990s, told BBC Panorama: “Basically, it was a fraudulent scheme, where those who took part in the privatisation formed one criminal group that allowed Abramovich and Berezovsky to trick the government and not pay the money that this company was really worth.”

The document also suggests Mr Abramovich was protected by Boris Yeltsin, with the former Russia president stopping Skuratov’s investigation.

The document says: ‘Skuratov was preparing a criminal case for the confiscation of Sibneft on the basis of the investigation of its privatisation. The investigation was stopped by President Yeltsin … Skuratov was dismissed from his office.’

Mr Skuratov was sacked after the release of a sex tape in 1999, which he says it was a stitch-up to discredit him.

He said: “This whole thing was obviously political, because in my investigations I came very close to the family of Boris Yeltsin, including via this investigation of the Sibneft privatisation.”

Abramovich was involved in another rigged auction two years later, for the Russian oil company Slavneft, having remained close to the Kremlin as Putin came to power.

A Chinese company bid almost twice as much as Abramovich for Slavneft, but with powerful people – including Putin – set to lose out if Abramovich’s consortium lost, a member of the Chinese delegation was kidnapped when they arrived in Moscow for the auction, according to the document.

‘CNPC, Chinese company, a very strong competitor, had to withdraw from the auction after one of its representatives was kidnapped upon arrival at Moscow Airport and was released only after the company declared its withdrawal.’

The kidnapping story is said to have been backed up by independent sources.

Russia’s deputy energy minister Vladimir Milov said senior political figures had already decided Abramovich’s group would win the auction.

Milov said: “I said, look, the Chinese want to come in and they want to pay a much bigger price. They say it doesn’t matter, shut up, none of your business. It’s already decided. Slavneft goes to Abramovich, the price is agreed. The Chinese will be dragged out somehow.”

Abramovich’s lawyers insist the kidnap claim “is entirely unsubstantiated” and Abramovich has “no knowledge of such incident”.

The Chinese group withdrew, leaving Abramovich with the only remaining bid, meaning Abramovich’s partnership bought Slavneft at a knockdown price.

Abramovich’s lawyers claim allegations of corruption in the Slavneft and Sibneft deals are false.

But Abramovich had a scrape with the law before the two oil company deals.

In 1992, when Abramovich was just 25, the document claims the deputy city prosecutor of Moscow ‘authorised the imprisonment of Abramovich under Article 90 of the criminal procedure code’.

Russian detectives were investigating the alleged theft of a trainload of diesel, with Abramovich the main suspect.

The document states: ‘Abramovich personally met the shipment and using forged documents had it rerouted to Riga where the diesel oil was sold’.

Abramovich was arrested but never charged and his lawyers claim it was “all a misunderstanding and the matter was resolved”.

But the document suggests Abramovich was detained in police custody – a point the oligarch did not deny.

Ximenez:
The club will be sold next week, maybe they'll rest then.

EU did not mention Chelsea.

Abramovich is bigger than Chelsea FC.

But the sanctions have not been able to stop Chelsea from winning

Sanctions don't have immediate impact

Kenmarine:
This is too much for the young man, why all these witch hunt. They knew he has close ties with Kremlin yet they went in bed with him for 19 years(Chelsea), gave him passports as a swiss citizen. Anyway, they'll settle themselves later

... then Kremlin attacked Ukraine in 2022 and that changed everything

Putinford Bridge falling down

Nigerians, please read this man's comment very carefully for a clear understanding of why this nation is exactly where it is today.

Don't be fooled by this outcry about toll gate and the evil false claim that this only apply to the SE.

The real issue is the fact that a certain Muhammadu Buhari is the one finally actualizing this monumental project. Some evil narrow minded individuals have never been comfortable with this and were hoping the project won't get completed. They finally found something to latch on to water down this development, conveniently forgetting how successive governments have deceived everyone every blessed year about the project.

We are not fooled. Learn to celebrate and appreciate good things even if it wasn't done by Obi Cubana or Chinedu Somebodikwu, and feel free to condemn them when they do something bad.

For the real south-easterners and others with something meaningful to do with their lives, this road is appreciated. The tolling issue is secondary and definitely nothing new in Nigeria.

Happiness is a personal choice. That's why you see those poor people with clear signs of suffering looking happy. Count your blessings, be happy, pick one of many available strategies with short term and long term goals and keep moving. Remember, a huge number of people would gladly trade places with you, not because they are lazy, some are just not lucky with their health. Be happy dude, that is the most important first step for you.

Some subhuman tribalists are having a field day with stupid generalizations on this thread. Evil has no tribe, race or nationality. "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye." Shikena!

the US isn't educated enough to been involved in so many
Wars in recent time? Not that I'm supporting war but you need to reason before talking or writing , which ever the case May be.

Good luck fighting a secession war against the US.

Nice one. At least you are not stupidly insistent on leading innocent people to death only to come back and be shouting genocide or world court, the dead are gone. Dialogue, integration, diplomacy etc are always the way, not brainless chest beating and careless war mongering, when you know quite well you can't defeat a sovereign nation with global interest like Nigeria on the battlefield, it will always end in tears and cries of marginalization and wasted generations.
