Righteousness2:
As long as she is the Orginal wife of the man, and he is her Orginal husband, he should accept her.

Your suggestion is so naive. Please elaborate why a woman who left on her own volition should stroll back and be accepted back by her husband just like that. I doubt if you are married.

The Best Uniforms at the 2022 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies.
Nigeria
Team Nigeria blended tradition with practicality when choosing their uniforms. The delegates represented their country wearing green and white uniforms, each sporting a head wrap. The uniforms were created by black-owned sports apparel brand Actively Black.
The parade of nations in the Winter Olympics is really the parade of puffers. Unlike the Summer Games, cold weather means less room for fashion.
Still, some countries tried their best
Accessories were the easiest way for most countries to stand out. The Nigerian athletes eschewed beanies and bobble knits for traditional wrap hats.

You lack content. I wonder what the word fact means to you. If you like call seun, the fact remains that el-rifai was part of the so called rot in PDP until 2015.

DukeOfNigeria:
“If I had six hours to kill a goat, I would use five and a half hours to sharpen my knife” stated the then Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi in response to question from Journalist at the Government House in mid-2008 following concerns that the Obi administration was dragging its feet slowly towards development of the State. The questions arose as reporters in Awka tagged Governor Peter Obi as the first “Baba Go Slow” before the name was borrowed to the late President Yar’Adua.

While the then governor of Anambra State sharpened his proverbial knife – over a period of 2.5 years, Anambra experienced little or no expenditure away from the salaries of workers and mandatory compensations – this was as the federal allocations due to the state was remitted monthly. The monies being accumulated by the governor during the said period were kept and never utilized for the budgeted purposes stipulated in the appropriations bill. And limited questions of the whereabouts of the said monies were not posed largely owing to the political weather of the period – following the failed impeachment and the repeated trials by the Andy Uba led Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] to unseat the only seating All Progressive Grand Alliance [APGA] governor.

However information recently made available to 247ureports.com through competent sources indicate Peter Obi was primarily preoccupied with devising crafty means of laundering monies from Anambra state treasury into his personal account.

Peter Obi receiving an ‘award’ from the then president of ASA-USA and Board Chairman of ASA-USA

Two days to the March 17th day of his official last day in office as the Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi commandeered for some of the brand new Sports Utility Vehicles [SUVs] and Pick Up trucks that were parked at the Government Lounge in Amawbia. The vehicles were then loaded with eleven and a half [11.5] bags onto the vehicles – with each bag containing N200million. They were secretly stored away inside the Governor’s private toilet at the Government Lounge.

Mr. Peter Obi then instructed the drivers to drive the vehicles over to the residence of the Auxiliary Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Awka. Mr. Peter Obi got the clearance of the Bishop, Jonas Benson to store the vehicles carrying the eleven and a half bags containing the N2.3billion. 247ureports.com is not certain if Bishop Jonas Benson knew of the content of the vehicles but Bishop Jonas Benson had served as the chaplain of the Government Lounge throughout the period Peter Obi served as the Governor of Anambra State. Our source indicates that both men enjoyed a close and brotherly relationship. During the campaign 2013 along with previous campaigns, the Bishop has been known to openly campaign for Governor – regardless of his priestly gown of non-partisanship. Jonas Benson hails from Adazi Nnukwu within the same local government area as Peter Obi.


The whereabouts of the vehicles after the March 17th date became unknown. The vehicles were relocated to an unknown destination by the outgoing governor along with the contents of N2.3billion. The whereabouts of the N2.3billion has remained unknown till date. Our source claims Peter Obi walked away with the money.

Another crafty manner with which the then Governor Peter Obi devised to systematically drain away the monies of Anambra State was through the usage of bank accounts with fictitious identity. He used his colleagues at the Diamond Bank and Fidelity Bank to set up many accounts – where he would make monthly payments into – of about N350million monthly. One of the accounts was the one set up supposedly for Anambra indigenes leaving in the diaspora particularly the Anambra State Association in the USA [ASA-USA]. He opened an account under the name of ASA-USA that was supposedly used by Anambra indigenes in the USA to send contributions to the home state. Using the opened account in early 2008, Peter Obi began making automatic monthly payments of N300million into the account – with occasional deposits as low as N150million. At the eve of his stepping down from office in March, the account recorded an available balance in excess of N14.2billion. The account was closed down immediately Peter Obi left office – and the account personal manager transferred to Zenith bank. The whereabouts of the N14.2billion remains unknown. Our source points to Peter Obi as the only one who knows for certain the whereabouts of the money.

What also remains uncertain is the culpability of the administrators of the ASA-USA. During the said period, the ASA-USA was administered by Dr. Anakwenze for the earlier part and then Dr. Anadi for the later part. Both gentlemen operated a very friendly executive to the then Governor of Anambra State. Some within the ASA-USA executive cabinet were given free land allocations in the state capital, others were awarded lucrative contracts. It is not certain if the same executive members were privy to the Diamond bank account operated under the association’s name.

Peter Obi prowess to launder cash money did not come to bear to the close observers of the former Governor until the 2014 general elections came. As the campaign period neared, Peter Obi made a withdrawal of N4billion from a ‘coded’ Fidelity Account. The money was to be used to finance the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] campaign in Anambra – from presidency to national assembly and state assembly. But as Peter Obi began disbursement of the same N4billion in cash, the handlers of the campaign including security agents observed that the same money withdrawn in 2014 from Fidelity bank had 2008 bank stamps on the straps – meaning the withdrawn since 2008 and stored possibly at an outside facility.

Peter Obi money laundering escapades did not hit the public terrain until the failed heist to deliver N250million by road to his Lagos office at 7 Aerodrome Road, Apapa. The money which was being conveyed by his media assistant, Valentine Obieyem in early 2009, was intercepted by security agents who exposed the heist attempt. It took the long legs of the then Governor Peter Obi to quell the anti-graft agencies from investigating the failed heist.


Interesting while Mr. Peter Obi occupied his time with devising crafty avenues of draining the funds of Anambra, the insecurity levels reached epic heights – the type never witnessed in the history of old and new Anambra. Anambra quickly became the capital of kidnapping in Nigeria. This notwithstanding that Peter Obi collected a total sum of N48billion in security votes in the 8 years he was in office. Some of the affected parties – whose relatives were kidnapped during the height of kidnappings called Peter Obi’s laundering escapades “blood money”.

Within three months of Governor Obiano’s arrival to the Government House, kidnapping to curtailed to the barest minimum. Our source indicated that the governor applied the security votes to the security of the state – and “it did the trick“.

Is this all you have. But it's a daily occurrence in Yorubaland. You guys are disgusting when it comes to rituals. In igboland, there is a proverb that says that every dog eats feaces, but the one spotted with feaces on it's mouth and whiskers is branded a poo eater. There is a need to declare a state of emergency in Yorubaland over this issue.

Comedian2019:
E be like say skull miners don enter that side o!

Your guess is as good as mine.

There is doubt it's them. They are professionals in mining human remains. Such a disgusting act. 'Sophisticated' grave scavengers.

Reflect7:
Ignorant spare parts illiterate. Were it not for Nigeria's 'No Victor No Vanquished' policy after the war, you would have been ANNIHILATED as an ethnic group. Your cities would have been renamed with Hausa and Yoruba names, and your women mass raped.

That is what usually happens when you lose a war. Instead Nigerian pampered you and even gave you money! Unheard of in international relations.

It was Gowon who ordered Nigerian soldiers to return to barracks after you surrendered and your leader fled to Ivory Coast.

Without that order, the troops would have entered Igboland and massacred everyone including your parents, so YOU wouldn't be here today.

SO SHUT UP, GO GET A JOB, AND THANK NIGERIA FOR HER KINDNESS.

Oh, and if you must secede, remember to collect your fellow 30 million+ Igbos residing in other parts of the same Nigeria they hate, as they will be deported back to your landlocked eldorado DOT republic.

Your stupidity defies the law of sensibility. A fool is known by his rant. imagine!

I know the poster is one of the pained kanu follower, he changed traditional means to juju, so tradition means juju, all this Igbo sef.

Enlighten us Mr Sabi.

No problem you will wish you did. Nigeria is sick and needs a little misdiagnosis to go into coma. Since zoning is not important anymore be rest assured that it can never remain one.

My brother, you are in a terrible situation that can make or mar you. What other reason did your parents give as the basis for their refusal. I know it's not easy letting go a precious lady you found and only you understands her worth, but you can't just go ahead as she suggested. How close are you to your mum? Go to her even if it means crying let her know that the lady is not what they think she is. Most times stereotypes or practical experience about a people can can lead to prejudice that would make them object to such union. BTW how come nobody likes her in your entire family? This is odd. My advise here is to thread with caution because you need their support to have a blissful marriage. If you ignore them, the future consequences would be unpalatable. Another problem you might encounter is the fact that your woman is now aware that she is not wanted in the family. If eventually you succeed in convincing your family to rescind their decision, she would never be free with them except she is the forgiving and understanding type which is rare. This is the devils alternative. Which ever option you choose, men are surely going to die. I wish you good luck.

Cut your mother and the ones against you getting married to her off..
Cut them off and ride on with your life..I wonder how some horrible parent will keep telling you who and who you shouldn't marry..

You are the one getting married..you know what you want for yourself why not go for it..they can keep wailing as much as they want..

Don't derail this thread pls

But that has always being your stock in trade.

Dapinski:
1000% correct. Igbos like blaming others for all their woes without the integrity to accept that the Igboman is the biggest problem of his fellow Igboman.

Give them Biafra, without Yorubas etal to moderate and balance the excessive nature of Igbos, and you will see the emergence of the most violent, most crime-ridden, most openly discriminatory and most unfair nation in the world where the national motto will be "might is right" .

I here you moderator.

helinues:
Give those people their Utopia country and see them overtaking Mexico cartel in drug pushing.

Half of the owners of all those beautiful houses in the village are languishing in different cells across the world for this same drug offense

Helinues are you not bothered about the siege of organ havesters ravaging your region presently that demands for a state of emergency? Drug trafficking is bad but, ritual killing is evil. Remove the log in your eyes to be able to see the speck in igbo drug traffickers. Drug trafficking carries a lesser sentence than human decapitation. Drug taking is a choice but any one can be hunted down by these human cayman called ritualist.

How did our colonial masters handled this anomaly in Yorubaland? The west is under siege. The state government should declare a state of emergency now.

What does spiritually sick mean? When we ask how you know you'll start chewing both sides of your mouth spewing gibberish.

Malaria is treated with antimalarial tablet. Spiritual ignorance is treated by enlightenment.

helinues:
How do the new star born? How do the new planets formed? What happened when a star is about to die? Can a star get closer to a big black hole?

All those are chaos already in the universe. Ordinary car size asteroid approaching towards earth would still cause some damages depend on where it landed. Meanwhile there are millions of asteroid within Saturn and Jupiter. Imagine just 5 of them heading straight to earth

@ the bolded. There is no imagination in God's creation. The birth and death of stars follow the plan of the maker. There is no chaos in it. BTW how many asteroid can you list that has struck the earth since you were born? Chaos in your own understanding is the scientific process involved in the formation of those heavenly bodies. If that the case how come the centripetal and gravitational forces that control the planets in our solar system are still functioning? Why hasn't the earth or any other planet drifted away from their elliptical orbit in the Solar system? When volcanic eruption occurs is it chaos or a geothermal activity that helps in releasing bottled up energy in the core of the earth? God's creation is perfect to those who understand his work.

helinues:
God or no God, the universe itself has been in chaos since created.. Black hole, Creation of new planets/new stars, Super Nova, Hypernova are all part of the chaos in the universe

The universe has never and would never be in choas. It's creator is a Supreme Intelligence Who's wisdom surpasses Human understanding. If it is in choas as you mentioned, how many times have you gone to bed and the sun did not rise in the morning. All the issues you listed above Black Hole etc are part of the complex system in our universe helping it to function. Just as science has not been able to pin down the actual function(s) of the appendix in the human body does not make it useless.
Helinues this is not politics or Nigeria contemporary issues that you are well known for in nairaland this is a case of a man who was born into a religion or belief coming out to tell us he has arrived. Religion they say "evolved out of man's fear of the unknown" Every civilisation even before the rise of the 3 Abrahamic religion believes in the existence of a god or God. There are many religion in the world today hence, that chap should not come here and expose his ignorance. Atheism is usually found among people who are spiritually sick that requires an inner healing of the soul. Just as a psychotic individual needs help before his actions betray his personality so does an atheist.

Snok58:
Good day guys.
I apologize for the long read and typos.

I met my girlfriend last year and everything has been moving fine. She was someone I intend to marry regardless of our issues. She is very loving and caring.

On my own part, I just finished my masters and I've not been able to get a good job. I used my savings to get a car and my friend gave me free accommodation in Abuja and I started uber. I'm a struggling guy but I come from a wealthy home, my father passed on recently and I control most things but I just remit them to my mum and I stopped her from giving me anything because I don't get satisfaction spending my parents money.

My girlfriend is young but she dreams of getting married early, I understand but I needed her to be industrious. I started a business for her in October which she tries a lot and she's making baby steps. I also give her stipends every month.

Our sex life is cool and I've tried using condom but she always frowned at it, so I resulted in calculating her free period, it was going well until a day she refused to tell me her cycle after we had sex. I got pissed and confronted her that I'm not ready for her to be pregnant, she said she won't and she's also not ready for it.

I came back from Abuja briefly in December and I was with her, I asked her for the cycle and she shifted the date and I miscalculated, long story short, as at yesterday she is 6weeks pregnant.

She told me the result, I asked her what should we do, she said she'll keep it but I'll have to do traditional marriage. Hmm, sincerely I did not want the child at this time. I told her I can be a father but I am not ready to be a husband, trouble erupted; she told her mum and her sister they called me I stood my ground that I'm not financially capable of setting up a family. She called my elder sister, I also did not bulge but however my sister noticed that she was building her judgment of me on my family wealth. I told my sister, I will only set up a family with only my acquired wealth and as it stands I'm only an uber driver.

I confronted my babe yesterday and it was evident that she wanted and planned for the pregnancy, she was happy. I was livid I told her that since she planned it, she should handle it that I just owe her money for the baby and delivery if she decides to keep it, and that my marriage plan will be put on hold, because I'll have to spend my savings. I was saving to do traditional marriage then travel out if things don't change. A child was the last thing on my list.

My girlfriend has blocked me everywhere and I suspect that her family are of the opinion that it's either I do traditional marriage or she removes it.

Guys my relationship is seriously threatened, I need advice vis a vis bashing

You are quite funny. Can anyone put his hand on fire and expect not to get burnt? Man proposes and God disposes! You are victim of your own carelessness and the consequence of fornication. Your woman was afraid that you may not keep your promise of marrying her at the the day after using her hence, her action. The choice is yours to either become a Davido or go ahead and marry her.

NB
Is your mum aware that that her grandchild is on the way?
