All these moves have OBasanjo's name written on it. The same tactics used by Obasanjo to frustrate and persecute perceived enemies.

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Public Display of Affection

I'm not surprised by this. This is only present in developed countries where there is advanced healthcare reforms and policies. The life expectancy of a person living with HIV and another living without it is currently the same in the United States. So getting infected with HIV there is just like getting a tattoo.

Ok to the first question. Is love sufficient to keep a marriage? I say NO.
And theses are my reasons:

Generally there are phases in relationships.
Initially is that phase where you feel very blind to most things your partner do, you ignore all their bad habits, there's a burning flame between you, you crave each other's presence for no sane reason, you spend hours talking without saying anything in particular; behavioural psychologists refer to it as the ROMANTIC PHASE.

After 2-3 years many relationships proceed from this phase. All the lovey dovey gradually ends. You have seen a ample lot of your partner and the cravings gradually fade. The chemistry ends too. Many couples begin to find it difficult to do the romantic things they used to do together; writing poems, singing to each other on phones , etc...
Familiarity truly breeds contempt. At this phase even if you marry Ashwairya Rai (in this phase, her beauty wouldn't freak you much)
This is where character and compatibity sets in. No matter how much couples love each other at this phase if they are not compatible they will have very major problems. Some minor things can be overlooked e.g. Eating habits, snoring, etc. But more major issues like gossiping, wastefulness, lavishness, pride, become difficult to overlook. Love is never enough.
Once they can survive this phase, then the rest isn't as difficult.

Then they will proceed to the phae where they become a unit. They get used to each other. They literarilly have become pals beyond words. They accept the differences in each other and find ways to deal with the habits they don't like in their partners. This might take between 6-12yrs.
Generally the more a couple stay together, the less it is likely they will separate.


So to the second question which I would like to frame as "What keeps couples together?"
Well the simple answer is..........? There's actually no simple answer.
Many things keep couples together and I'l like to list a few in no particular order

1. Love
Despite that I've earlier stated that love isn't only factor needed to make a relationship last, I have to quip that it is still important. Meanwhile ask 100 people what Love is and you may be surprised that no 2 will say two same things. Meaning love is very complex and is very easy to be mistaken for e.g. Lust, Strong likeness. I wouldn't like to dwell on love further. Let's move on to the next.

2. Culture and Religion: This has proved to be the most important in this part of the world. It is common to the religions predominant here that once a marriage oath has been sworn, there is no going back irrespective of the eventualities in marriages. Religious matters are extremely sensitive and taken highly serious in this environment(Africa). Many Marriages which ought not be anymore, full of emotional and physical abuses, infidelity etc are still in existence, not because the partners involved are happy but rather because they are concerned about what the society, the church or the mosque will say. Nowadays, there's a gradual decline in the convictions with which people hold religious beliefs, this generation is getting more liberal in their views, evidenced in music,dressing etc. Therefore it is expected for this to be seen in relationships/marriages too.

3. Financial Reasons: After religion this has to be the other singular most important factor that differentiates marriage practices in terms of termination between Africa and the Western world. In the past, fewer women had education and thus it has been a norm for the wife to be financially dependent on the husband. Many women were/and still are married as full housewives without any means of livelihood apart from what she receives from her husband. In this scenario, it will be next to impossible for such a woman to decide to leave such man even if the man is abusive, emotionally/physically. Such a wife would put up with whatever goes on in their relationship in order to protect her livelihood. Increase in divorces in this generation has a link with increase FEMALE EDUCATION and FEMALE FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. Show me a woman who files for divorce and I'll show you an educated woman who is financially stable (this holds many but not all times).

4. Children, these are bonds. Marriages with Children have a greater chance of surviving than those without children, under similar conditions. Children serve as bonds between couples. Many women also choose to stay in abusive marriages because of their children, sacrificing themselves to raise their children.


There are other influences and factors that I believe alse has influences including;
Personalities of the couple, Families of the couple (a man who comes from a single home might not be willing to do all to keep his own marriage when eventually issues start)
Little things such as elaborate weddings might even have an effect (especially in this environment)



Marriages are institutions, and it is never always rosy, like other institutions it takes hardwork, it requires a couple who are determined from the set go to be with each other no matter "what"

If you've ever been loved, deem yourself to have been lucky. I don't think everyone gets that lucky. Not me in the least

Order of importance
1. Skin sensations: sense of touch is not just for feeling, it is actually protective. Feeling pain makes one aware of danger and thus avoid it, without feeling pain, heat etc one will be exposed to danger without knowing. Why do u think it hus when u sit in one position for long? It is an indication that blood flow to that part is being compromised and u need to adjust to correct this. Few people can live a normal life without the sensation of touch,pain,heat etc
2. Eye : while sight is very important to carry out day to day activities, living does not depend on it. Many pple are currently living without sight
3. Ear : I honestly don't know which shld come first Eye or Ear because effective communication is almost as important as sight however while hearing can be replaced by use of sign language seeing can't.
4.Nose(sense of smell and not breathing) this also has protective functions. Protecting us from dangerous substances
5.Tongue(taste) apart frm enjoyin food, it serves no other function.

However all parts of the body is important(though not equally) no matter how small, even if its just a nail on ur little toe that hurts , your whole body wouldn't feel good.

Legalising abortion will reduce drastically the number of deaths that are recorded in Nigerian from unsafe abortion.

*yawns* this isn't strange, I've seen countless cases.

Been around for a while too( sept 2006), but more like a legendary reader and less of a poster.

Seeing that the names spread across all major parties in the Chambe, you'd conclude that no party is actually better than the other.all our politicians apparrently know only one thing, looting. Come to think of it even those that sponsored bills, how has their bill-sponsoring bettered the life of a commont Nigerian. Where's electriciity, where's employment, food and lest I forget electricity. May weGod deliver ourselves someday.

So what were the criteria used? With Atiku and some others on that list I want to believe NO criterion was used and so this list should be ignored.

I guess I'm in the future now

Kidney transplant has been successfully done Nigeria in many institutions. st Nicholas hospital has done it, I personally witnessed that done in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital and it was very much successful, cost was 6million naira.

I think Governor Jang is being quoted out of context, when he was asked how with 16votes he still called himself the Chairman of the forum he quickly replied that he would be 70 soon and that Amaechi isn't even upto 50, I think what he meant was that if 70 is added to his 16 votes and 50 added to Amaechi's 19votes that will put him at 86 and Amaechi at 69. You see why he believes he won now?

Omonakoda : There is no benefit to anyone from a doctors strike. Why should government fund doctors training? Truth is many of the doctors here still reason like undergraduates with little knowledge of the world or reality. Does government pay for training for pharmacists,or other health professionals? This is a political issue and<B> in many places where government does this for doctors they(residents) earn much less than nurses and other professionals until they qualify.<\b>In short they make a sacrifice and then when they qualify they serve the nation. In Nigeria they bullied the nation into paying superlative on call allowances and when they qualify most leave government employ. Why should government pay for you to better yourself

So your agigation is for resident doctors pay to be less than other nurses,etc. Can you tell me how this particular action will better the healthcare system in Nigeria,


Immediately I read this, I knew he wasn't a doctor, no doctor and infact no reasonable person should write this. The bolded has shown one thing: there is a lot of beef against doctors especially from other paramedics and most if not all are borne out of inferiority complex. The beef isn't about salaries or whatever or just as an unconscious feeling of not being as relevant as doctors.

He's an illusionist, means there's a trick but you won't notice it. For this one there's a rope tied to his body and an hydraulics machine that levitates him. The onlookers have been paid and are part of the trick.


For his "walking on water", there's a transparent glass beneath with the surface just along the water, I know this because "I Know"

There's no need to tell us how much he donated.

Ok @ OP

OP, For you to have access to all these documents, shows you are either very close to the guy or you are him. All the same he did well.

callousness

but let us reason this thing o, if you sentence a man to prison for gay-ism, wen remanded in prison are you going to put him with other guys sentenced too, or you just going to put him with the women prisoners?

okay so when you know all of these what do u do next? The most important thing to know is what is killing the person and if curable it should be cured

She used a toy gun simply cuz she probably didn't have access to the real thing. If she had, she would have used. Whether toy gun, cutlass, knife, log of wood or matchet same penalty holds according to the criminal code, and its death sentence irrespective of what she attempted to steal be it 5,000naira or rob a bank. In my opinion someone who robs with a gun to steal 5,000naira is even more dangerous than one who robs for millions.

This is remarkable.

Actress Angelina Jolie revealed in a New York Times op-ed that she quietly underwent a preventive double mastectomy after discovering she carried the BRCA1 gene, which sharply increases a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

“My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87% to under 5%,” Jolie writes. “I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.”

She says she feels “empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.”

Jolie salutes her partner, Brad Pitt, who she says was with her during her surgeries at the Pink Lotus Breast Center.

“I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive,” Jolie writes. “So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition.

Jolie says she decided to share the story of her surgeries in the hopes that it will benefit other women at risk. She encourages women to be proactive about their health if they have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, while acknowledging the cost of gene testing in the U.S. remains an obstacle for many.

“I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer,” Jolie writes.

Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died at age 56 after a nearly decade-long battle with ovarian cancer.
