You sound ridiculous. Is the naija man God. What is so special about him that she should not have any self respect or self esteem. Is it not that lack of self esteem that she did not have in the first place that led her to make the choices she made. I hope you are playing sha. Naija man my ass. Like who gives a crap about a lying, cheating, irresponsible boy. Yeye. We have a close family friend that are going through this right now. She literally filled his papers for him to get his citizenship, all he basically did was sign the damn thing. They have a five year old son and she has been a good wife to him. Now he is a citizen and he wants to act stupid. She is white but she understands the culture and is respectful to his family. The only consolation here is that she has opened her eyes and thank God she has a wonderful job and does not need his money. Life goes on.

Did I read you right Sisikill? I should be friends with the woman who stole my husband? What? I should reveal my problems and innermost thoughts with her. So she can make a laughing stock out of me. God forbid. I don't know about that. I'm not that short of friends. Yes she knows who I am and what I look like and I am sure she knows how upset I am with her. For example, if I was the other woman I would keep well away from the wife for my own sake!! My husband is the kind of man that would find having the 2 of us in the same room as eachother a nightmare. I would certainly not like to be in the same room as her in case I'll do somethng I might regret!

Sisikill you have to translate o.

Tara I don't care if you are white or bluish pink. I can see why he is the way he is, you helped him be that way. He read you like a book. He asked you to work 90 hours a week when you have a 4 year old at home. You keep saying you will fight for your man. Whose man? He is not your man. I won't even say anything else. Goodluck. Experience they say is the best teacher.

tara85:
Whether she is an asylum seeker or not, it dosen't matter. she has something that I will never have and that's her skin colour and where she is from(the exact same state as him) now what chance do i have? And as far as I can see that is all that matters to him! So much for who you are ,not what you are.

tara85:
I won't give up because I know and I hope he is going through a phase. He misses home and he probably thinks going with her is going to cure his homesickness. I don't know. Is it because I am white that you are all saying I should be divorcing him. I may be white but that does automatically make any yoruba woman better than me!

Polls: Obama leads in critical trio of states

By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Recently trailing or tied, Democrat Barack Obama now leads Republican John McCain in a trio of the most critical, vote-rich states five weeks before the election, according to presidential poll results released Wednesday.

The Democrat's support jumped to 50 percent or above in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania in Quinnipiac University surveys taken during the weekend — after the opening presidential debate and during Monday's dramatic stock market plunge as the House rejected a $700 billion financial bailout plan.

Combined, these states offer 68 of the 270 electoral votes needed for victory on Election Day, Nov. 4.

Pollsters attributed Obama's improved standing to the public's general approval of his debate performance, antipathy toward GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and heightened confidence in the Illinois senator's ability to handle the economic crisis.

The fresh polling is the latest troublesome turn for McCain, the Arizona senator who is trying to regain control of the campaign conversation amid increasingly difficult circumstances for Republicans. It comes on the eve of a debate between Palin and her Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden, and as the financial crisis shapes the presidential race in unpredictable ways.

For now and probably for the next month, the race will be entirely about who can best handle an economy in peril.

The war in Iraq, national security and foreign policy issues — McCain's strengths — have largely fallen by the wayside as each campaign tries to chart a course to the presidency in extraordinarily choppy economic waters.

The new surveys show Obama leading McCain in Florida 51 percent to 43 percent, in Ohio 50 percent to 42 percent and in Pennsylvania 54 percent to 39 percent.

Since 1960, no president has been elected without winning two of those three states.

The results are notable because they show Obama in a strong position in the pair of states that put Bush in the White House in 2000 and kept him there four years later — Florida and Ohio, with 27 and 20 electoral votes, respectively.

Obama has been struggling to break into a comfortable lead in both states; for weeks he had been mostly about even with McCain in Ohio while lagging for months in Florida, even after being the only candidate on the air and spending some $8 million on advertising.

Pennsylvania, with 21 electoral votes, is a different story.

Obama is trying to hang onto the state Democrat John Kerry won four years ago, though McCain has mounted a stiff challenge as he seeks to benefit from his rival's trouble with working-class voters who question his liberal voting record and, perhaps, his race.

The telephone polls, which were taken before and after last week's McCain-Obama debate, have margins of error ranging from plus or minus 2.8 percentage points to plus or minus 3.4 points.
