To believe that the church is the best place to find a soulmate is deceit. If you carry monkey go Japan, na the same monkey ibi. Even if you carry suit give am, na the same monkey ibi. Goodness is not a matter of religion or churcheousness, it is a matter of character. Holiness is not a matter of confession, it is a matter of living.

My brother open account with Trans International Bank in Abuja, during consolidation, the bank was taken over by oceanic bank. Even before consolidation, he went to the bank to withdraw money and was told that he has closed his account. To his surprise, he asked for the letter that was written to close the account. The bank refused to produce the letter, when he wanted to make noise over that, security was asked to walk him out of the banking premises.
Later, he went to oceanic bank and was told that it is a closed case. It is a big rip off. God help us.

This is not as good as the first one. I hope he improve on it

They like yahoo boys because they brings out the money. Most of them like to go out with yahoo boys but will not like to marry them as husband. You know presently, moral value is far far relegated than financial worth. That is why you will hear of Dangote, Otedola, Adenuga more than 10 times before you hear of Achebe, Soyinka, Enahoro.

@ atiku07,

I am expecting your text.
Hello nairalanders, i will late you know of my findings when i am through

I pray that this will bring a little peace in the troubled Niger Delta. I am very surprise that Igbos are very silent about Uwazurike. Where are the Igbo leaders and leaders of thought? I mean the ojukwus, ekwuemes, ozobus, kanus etc. Edwin Clark was out for Asari's case and pursued it to the end. See the end result. Pls, who will do so for Uwazurike?
Ndigbo, ihere mee unu.

The shortest way to the man,s heart is his stomach. Play with it and loose him. Satisfy it and win the man.

I have obseverved that women are more religious than men. They show more comittement, care, love and are even more hardworking than men in things of God. Recall that the apostles of Jesus Christ were all men. Pls, what do you think that have caused this?

Mine is Nov 2

Chei.

A poor boy do realy love but his love is not always appreciated. In most cases they show the most sincere love.
Well, one day, one day, i go better. Love is for every body and every body should express it, share it, enjoy it, live it.

Congrats,
Work as if the bank depend on u for success.
Take good care of yourself and the family.

It appear this is a product of broken home. In Africa, it is not possible to eradicate marriage for it is the most legal way of procreation if not world wide.
It is not a social evil as being suggested by the author.
Well, this is a personal opinion and he is entitled to it.

Umu Igbo, we have been giving literal translation of this proverbs without attaching meaning to it. it would have been better to give an english proverb that expains or fits into the igbo proverb.

@enolase,
I am also interested in the feasibility study.
Thank you.

If i have other means of livelihood, i can but if i depend on my salary for my living, i cannot. To be able to do this, Nigeria need re-orientation and be assured of their future before this could be achieved.

Presently, Nigeria do not know how much we make on a daily basis. We have to know what we make daily, weekly and monthly from all sectors of the economy.
We are focusing on oil but tourism and agriculture can give us far more than we are getting from oil if well looked into. Nigerian educational industry is in shamble as well. I will suggest it be rehabilitated without delay. No Nigerian university rank among the first 500 in the world. It is bad.

@ the topic.
I am personally not to comfortable with Ette's election as the speaker. I have not heard any committee in the house or bills she have sponsored. If it had been Dabiri, i will shout very correct. Ette may be one of the o yes members in the house who sang a lot for tenure extention for Obj. This may be her own share of national cake.
Ekenekwa m unu.

@ angel101
I agree with you.
Kingibe dumped Abiola immediately there election was annulled and picked up a ministerial appointment.
It appeared he was more interested in the ministerial post than vice presidency he campaigned for. God have mercy on us.

This shows that Govt is completely insensitive to the plight of Nigerian.
The more we hope for better days, the worse the situation becomes. May God help us.

@ eko4show,
I totally agree with u.
Bros, there is nothing compulsory in wedding except marriage certificate which is not costly at all. It is as expensive as you make it. No body is tasking you on anything.
Plan within your reach. Remember that real marriage starts after the wedding.

Minto, u are very correct.
They always feel they are super human being while we are inferior.

What an interesting topic. Kudos to the poster.
Personally, i think Nigeria is not ready to fight 419 and yahoo boys. As Pius Okigbo said "we are all casualties" Ribadu, Ayola, Police etc are there, lets tell our selves the truth. How much do Nigeria earn in a day? No one knows. About 85% if Nigerians are not sure of there next meal. They are very fearful of tomorrow that given any chance, they will compromise. How can Ota farm that cannot produce more than =N= 30000 in 1998 produce more than 30m monthly in 1997 without external borrowing. Before 1999 OBJ do not worth up to 10m,today he worths more than 50b. In 1999, OBJ have only 1 farm{Ota}, today he have more than 10 expansive and expensive farms scattered every where in the country. Have you not heard of Bode George and =N=85b waste in NPA? Is he not walking free today? What of Tony Anineh and =N=300m? The list is endless they are all walking free in the society. Recall Banigo of All States, Wagbara of Hallmark, Saraki of SGNB Nwobodo of Savana and others. They are free but those innocent citizens that banked with them are crying. Where do i start, where do i stop? Who new Dangote, Otedola, Jimoh Ibrahim, Corporate Nigeria, Adenuga etc before 1999? What was there worth then? Who are they today? What is our oil revenue since 1999 till date? what is revenue from solid minerals? What happened to Abacha's loot recovered? How much did FIRS and NCS earn. What revenue came from the ports? Oh i cry. A cry for help, a cry for mercy, a cry to my saviour. Pls, these days, i want to think less of Nigeria in order not to be more angry. A local govt chairman in Nigeria earns more than a professor in the university. An aide to the governor in Nigeria can pay the salary of ten primary school in Nigeria and remain comfortable. A presidatial aide can pay salary of all non academic staff of a high institution ans shout no shaking. Police check point abounds here and there even some without gun and walkie-talkie, they blocks road with heavy log of wood to collect "bush allowance". Last year, Fed Govt of Nigeria decieved farmers that they will give out loan to them if they form co-operative society. Many borrowed money while others liquidated there account to pursue the loan and build a bigger farm. Today they are all crying that the loan they no see, their money, the no see. I am a victim of that because my father borrowed heavily to join a co-operative society. Pls, who is deceiving who in this country? In 2002 or 2003, Obasanjo delivered a message "I see hope", today the hope is still very far to be seen. I hope he have not dahed the hope he saw.
Presently Nigeria is not ready and willing to fight corruption. We only want to deceive other showing the nigerian in us. Those being fought are those that are in the black book of the presidency
If we want to fight corruption in Nigeria, Govt should to seize all property of past and present political office holders that he did not declare before assuming the post. Arrest those public office holders and try them of corruption. Make Political post very less attractive .Provide quality and non stop education, health care and energy,good road, rehabilitate old farm settlement. If this is done, unemployment is reduced by about 60% or more. Salary and pension should be paid as at when due. Salary review for civil servants should be on done once a year or two years not once in life time as seen here. Allowance is right of workers then why is it politicised? Coal coporation workers are owed 18 months salary while some pensioniers are owed up to 20 months arrears. What advice do you think such people will give his relative in position of authority now as per public finance.

@etauso,
I realy understand how you feel. The problem is not mostly from the led, it is from the leaders. If the leader is ready to change, we will change with them but if they are not ready to change how can you change what does not want a change. I know some of the yahoo boys but what do i do with them. I only distance myself from them and go my way.

Faithfulness in relationship is not determined by distance. Even your date near you can cheat on you. Your guy might not be cheating on you as you discuss with him always on phone especially if he is the one that calls you. Show him love and care so that he will see you special and God gifted to him.
Try and fashion out how you will be meeting him at least once in 2 months or less than that. Whenever you stay with him, try and satisfy him sexually and with different styles so that he will come after you. It will make him stick to you.
I asure you, he is still there for you. But sorry, you did not tell us if u have a guy holding brief for the guy
