FamilyRe: Is It The Responsibility Of A Man To Take Care Of His Wife's Family? by signeddocuments: 11:45pm On Aug 14, 2017
I think this issue is common most especially when you marry from a struggling family.after I completed my three bedroom flat, I needed housemaid to help my wife in the house, we got one,but the amount we are paying is so high including putting her in a school.I and My wife agreed to go to village and bring one relative to the house to help out.But I could not follow her but to my greatest shock she brought three instead of one person.Since that time, I have been at a war with my wife because I later discovered she wants to use the opportunity to train her brother's children with my resources.I told her I will not be responsible for the children education because their father is still alive.I have given her quit notice to vacate my house except if she returns the children.It is a big shame for any in -law to over burden any man just because he marries your daughter. I am about to divorce my my wife.

PoliticsRe: More Nigerians Commit Suicide As Obasanjo's Policy Takes Its Toll (Throwback) by signeddocuments: 11:53am On Jun 30, 2017
If you blame OBJ,what about maradona (IBB).You will see that OBJ's mismanagement of the economy is a child-play to what IBB did to this country.Just read this.
"I'll attempt a modest effort to respond to Prof. Yusuf Dankofa, a cerebral lawyer and law lecturer, who incidentally taught me Legal Methods in my first year at the Faculty of Law, ABU, Zaria.

You see, the learned Professor believes i was unfairly critical of Babangida (IBB) yesterday, when i pointedly accused him in my facebook post of being the grand architect of the rot we see today in Nigeria's society. My learned Prof told me in clear terms, that all past leaders share, or should share, the blame, equally. I have had time to sleep over this matter, and rethink my held position, but must express my regret, sadly, that i woke up with the selfsame opinion as i held yesterday, though in stronger measure. For good reason.

My dear Prof., do not think it remiss of me to disagree with you on this issue. You see, Prof. Yusuf Dankofa, Nigeria presently groans under the pains of a curable but vicious and widely-spread syphilitic disease. And from the way i see it, she contracted this disease, because Babangida, who admits himself to be some sort of evil genius, single-handledly lured her into the bushes of tyranny, and violently raped her, doggy-style, without condoms, day-in-day-out, from 1985 to 1993. Eight Years of unremitting rape. The likes of Abacha and co held down her legs while the deed was done, and promptly took their turns as soon as IBB was done. But first, we must acknowledge that it was through IBB that the idea occurred to the other military urchins, that there could be some fun, and money made on the sides, by engaging Nigeria in violent, bondage sex, not minding the ensuing and long-lasting pains we would all suffer for it.

By the way, my learned Prof., Nigeria was not a virgin before IBB. She had been successively raped by a motley crowd of tuxedo wearing "statesmen", tobacco and kola-nut chewing aristocrats, respected gentlemen even, and other less respectable characters, since 1960. But on each occasion, safe sex seemed to have been practiced, and we were still able to plod on as a human society with some semblance of dignity. Then IBB came and took all that away.

Before IBB, Nigerian politicians fought each other fiercely. But the cat-fights were restricted to vulgar abuses and intellectual clap-backs through newspaper articles and open letters. It was IBB,who first put it in the heads of the government institution, that intellectual exertions was a sheer waste of time in engaging or silencing opposition. IBB introduced political assassination into the polity in grand style, as a more convenient and expeditious means of getting all the opposition ducks in a row. And he was quite inventive about it. He started with a love letter to Dele Giwa, laced with a bomb in 1986. Then in 1992, about 159 promising officers of the military mysteriously lost their lives in the C-130 crash in Ejigbo. It was widely reported as an inside job. Fingers pointed to IBB. He denied it. I believe him. But what i find curious, is that in a 2015 interview on this issue, IBB stated, as i read online, that the ill-fated C-130 plane should not have flown the day it did because it was faulty. When asked if the people responsible for clearing the plane to fly these officers, despite its being faulty, were punished, he heartily said "No." When asked why not, he calmly responded "the Nigerian factor." And this answer came from the man who was the all-powerful C-in-C at the time, and on whose table the power of life and death, punishment and reward, laid. But like i said, he has since denied culpability in the matter, and I, let me repeat, believe him.

Prior to IBB, I do not believe there was a parallel incident of political assassination in Nigeria on that scale or prominence. He gave the idea to Abacha, and those that followed. So in 1996, the no nonsense Dr. Shola Omoshola perished, a victim of institutional murder. Killed by bomb blast, IBB style, but by Abacha. Same 1996, Kudirat Abiola is assassinated. Same 1996, Col. Marwa escapes death by car bomb. Same 1996, bomb blast at Durba Hotel, Kano. Bomb blast in Zaria police station. Bomb blast at Ikeja military cantonment. Bomb blast at Ikeja Airforce base. Bomb blast, bomb blast, bomb blast!!! Between 1996 and 1997, the bomb blasts were uncountable. Some by government, some by NADECO. In fact, since Dele Giwa, over 1000 people have lost their lives to political assassination, including, Bola Ige, Alfred Rewane, Harry Marshal, Dikibo,Andrew Agom, Igwe Barnaba and wife, Funsho Williams, Ayo Daramola, Dipo Dina, Godwin Agbroko,Ogbonnaya Uche...and the list goes on and on. Most were slain long after IBB was gone, but the seed of institutional violence in Nigeria was unarguably sown by IBB.

Let's talk corruption. Before IBB, what was rife was for powerful government ministers to steal money here and there, while the head of government itself, who might not be aware of the thievery, retires or is deposed into penury. Which is why even Gowon, who ruled for 9 nine years, was not deposed a rich man. Neither was Murtala Muhammad or Ironsi, or Shagari, or Buhari. People might dispute the pedigree of Buhari, but i include him in this list because in 2003, Prof. Kyuka Lilymjok took some students to Buhari's house in Kaduna to speak and parley with him about his presidential ambition in that year. Incidentally, I was the leader and spokesman of this group and sat face to face with Buhari in his dinning hall for the discussions, at his Kaduna home. It was a modest bungalow. Absolutely no luxury. I recall with considerable light-hearted humor that we were served warm coke on this occasion, and after all said and done, Buhari handed me an envelope containing N20,000 to share among over 50 students as "transport". He profusely apologized that he had no money to give. Now you can imagine the fight among our ranks for the pittance, as is common with students. But i went away thinking this man must either be extremely honest to not have stupendous wealth having been Governor, Petroleum Minister, President and lately Chairman of PTF, or he must be quite stingy. At the time, I leaned more to thinking him to be an honest person. Many dispute this though.

But IBB changed all that. It was IBB who ingrained it in the minds of leaders, that they must feather their nest while in office, sort of retirement insurance. He basically and literally opened the public treasury to his cronies to feast on. My Prof., have you seen IBB's 50-room hilltop mansion in Niger? The man flaunts wealth unapologetically. Where did he get the money? His salary as a military officer? His military pension? It was IBB who started the unfair sharing of Niger-Delta oil wells to his cronies, and at his pleasure. Did you know that Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija was a mere tailor sewing for Maryam Babangida? Then Babangida woke up one morning, and like a genie in a bottle, decided she has to be a billionaire. So he gifted her OML 216, a natural asset of the Niger-Delta, and today that tailor is on the Forbes rich list, worth more than US$3.3Billion. Babangida was the genie in the bottle. Just rub him the right way and your wish is granted. Then came Abacha, who learnt well from IBB. He gifted T. Y. Danjuma OPL 246, Alhaji Mai Daribe OML 110, Sanni Bello OML 112 and 117, Alhaji Indimie (Babangida's inlaw) OML 115, Alhaji Saleh Gambo OML 215, Aminu Dantata OML 108 etc. Interestingly, Abacha also gifted himself, through Dan Etete, the very lucrative OPL 245. All to the Northern oligarchy, as you can see, at the expense of the source of the resources in the Niger-Delta, who eke out a bare-knuckle existence on a daily basis. IBB started it. Nobody did this before him.

Shall i speak about the missing US$12Billion oil windfall? This was just a single heist. He should have stolen so much more before and after this occasion. But this one time, US$12Billion went missing. Now, at that time, Nigeria's population was somewhere in the region of 95Million and the exchange rate was about N10 to a dollar. So US$12Billion would have been say N120Billion in Naira terms. If shared among all Nigerians at the time, each person, including new born babies, mad men, prostitutes, armed robbers, murderers, thieves and what not, so far as they are Nigerian, would have gotten something, at least N100 at the time. It might not have been much, but it would have gone round if shared. But one person, IBB, stole it. And with impunity too. Lest we forget, this happened on the cusp of IBB's SAP program, when 90% of Nigerians were going to bed hungry, with no hope of food when they wake. But he still mindlessly stole this money on this occasion, even when he had stolen so much before this, and after. Now, suppose this money was put to a project, we would have had a world-class university, or a world class hospital or something else world-class. But he stole it and proceeded to send his children abroad to school and seek medical attention.

This and several monies IBB stole is the reason why Mohammad Babangida has never worked a day in his life, but owns over 24% of a telecommunications company that has now become a multinational. he holds huge stakes in several other companies. He is not better than me, who is trying to make honest living in an impossible business climate, a sort of frankenstein monster that gobble up businesses created his father. It is the reason why IBB's children at the time floated Fruitex International London Limited with a share capital of about £100,000 fully paid for in cash. This company and several other offshore corporations were then used to launder Nigeria's commonwealth into swiss accounts, to the detriment of the masses, to the detriment of the Niger-Delta, where the resources were stolen from. But dont get me wrong, so many people after IBB have bested him in the thievery game. In fact, so much have been stolen from Nigeria since then that what he took pales into insignificance. But he started it, as head of state.

Babangida badly politicized and polarized both the military and the civil service like no President before him. We are still suffering for it today. His Decree 43 killed the earlier entrenched independent, apolitical and non-partisan principles of the civil service. Permanent Secretaries were replaced with Directors-General, who were political appointees and served at the pleasure of the President. In fact, they were to abdicate office with the Ministers. And so with this artifice, IBB used political appointments, even in civil service, to reward loyalty.This led to the emergence and institutionalization of the "brown envelope" syndrome in the Nigerian civil service. Accordingly, by some sort of strange alchemy, it became viewed as illegal not to pass a "brown envelope" under the table when seeking favors in government ministries. In the military, there was the emergence of "the IBB boys." They were powerful officers who had direct links or relationship with IBB. For their loyalty, he rewarded them with gifts and appointments. Burba Marwa is often cited as the poster child of this system. He became quite prosperous under IBB and thereafter. But first, we hear he did IBB a few favors. Perhaps you should ask Dele Giwa about this.

May we speak of the current distrust between christians and muslims in today's Nigeria? I do not deny that before IBB, they were religious skirmishes here and there. But the real, deep-seated distrust began with IBB's surreptitious enlistment of Nigeria in the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC). All Presidents before IBB had tried to hold things together, careful never to act in any way that betray dominance of one religion over the other. But not IBB. By this singular act on the OIC, he fanned the embers of a nationwide distrust between adherents of the two religions, and between the North and South, which we still suffer from till this very day.

What about values in society? It was IBB who invited Nigerians to believe that the end justified the means in money making. During his regime, drug barons held sway. 419 as a national institution-backed syndicate emerged. This was when foreign victims were taken to the real CBN offices for meetings, only to realize that the entire scheme was a scam after they had parted with money. These con men received both protection and patronage from the IBB regime. How can we forget who Gloria Okon was to IBB? Never before had a President of Nigeria been so enmeshed in such scandal as drug peddling, this was truly a first. Needless to say, my Prof., Nigeria's perception of morality and integrity has not been the same again since IBB. Nobody cares how money is made anymore, just make the damn thing!! So after the scorch of 419 came Yahoo Yahoo boys, money rituals and all sort of get-rich quick schemes. But you cannot but trace the root cause to IBB's regime.

Let me mention the integrity of the Judiciary. It was during the whole June 12 debacle that we heard, for the first time, that a Judge had been procured to grant a midnight injunction to first stop the June 12 elections, and then again to restrain the announcement of the results. Dont forget, the preceding years up to this period is always referred to as the "golden years" of the Judiciary. We had upright and intelligent judges. Bribing or influencing a Judge was a phenomenon that was not common, in fact rarely heard of. But Babangida saw to it that it was done, using Arthur Nzeribe. Well, we all know where we are on this issue today.

My great Prof Sir, the tapestry of IBB's ills to the Nigerian society is actually encyclopedic, and can only be captured in volumes. It will serve me no purpose to continue because i will not end. But like i earlier said, he is enjoying his loot in his 50-room mansion up the hills of Minna. From that vantage point, he has a bird's eye view of all of us, and must be laughing himself silly on what fools we all are, by continuing to pay him pensions, changing his cars every 4 years or so, acknowledging him as a statesman, consulting him on how to "move the country forward" or backwards as the case may be and generally paying homage to him, all as a befitting reward for his role in single-handedly destroying the moral fabric of Nigeria's society.

I really do wish him well and hope he dies peacefully in his sleep after a sip of chilled champagne fully paid for by Niger-Delta's oil, for doing such great work in frontally, backwardly and brutally raping that once beautiful bride called Nigeria.

A good morning to you Prof."

FamilyRe: 13 Awkward Things Married Women Do That Destroy Their Marriage. by signeddocuments: 8:59am On Jun 19, 2017
OP is quite right on all the points raised here. In addition to what the OP has written,here are some awkward things women do to destroy their marriage.
1. Bringing in three or more siblings into their home,without the consent of the husband, to stay even though their income can not sustain those relatives thereby putting more burden on the husband.
2. Sending money to their married brothers or bringing in children of their brothers or sisters for the husband to train, and then allowing their brothers or sisters to be irresponsible.Sometimes they claim that things are hard for these brothers or sisters so they want to help with the education of the children even though they are not working.The husbands may not object but you are destroying your marriage by putting more burden on your husbands.
3. Giving out food stuffs which the husband bought for feeding to outsiders or friends without his consent in this times of recession and Then accusing the husbands of being too stingy if he complains.
4. I have more of these irrational things they do,something men may not complain especially if you are the religious or pastor husbands-you do not want to be seen fight or quarrelling with your wives and then they are taking advantage of that fact.
I tell U women are necessary evil from my experience.

Our churches and mosques have failed us in this country because they do not preach against this corrupt practices anymore.This is the more reason why we are backward in Africa.we have tolerated corruption for too long a time.
