Pure delusion.

Twitter alpha males work overtime.
I wonder the prompt they give Chatgpt to generate these stories. Either their FRIEND did DNA and the child wasn't his.

Their FRIEND took his wife to America and in 1yr she chased him out and took over their mansion sitting on 4000 hectares of land.

Their CLIENT divorced her husband and now she is the 3rd sidechick of a polygamous man.

😂😂😂😂

But these things really do happen..

That 2.3M was the base salary, allowances would probably be like 50% of basic, so that salary was more around 3.4M, and this comes up to 23K USD.

Of course most of these doctors don't just do their government work and keep it at that, they usually have private practice which would pay them as much if not more than what the government was paying them...this will bring that yearly income to 46K. With some sacrifice, he'd pay that 30K and live off the remaining 16K.

Your point was the only way the CMD could afford to send children abroad was via corruption, I've shown that might not necessarily be the case.

If we take back to 2006, exchange rate was lower, and school fees abroad would have been a bit less too...that formula would have worked even then.

I know schools in the US that even as at 2013/2014, their semester fees were less than $2,500 (Jackson State University and MVSU). If you comb through Ukraine, a popular stomping ground for parents sending their kids abroad then, you'd find less sef.

All these ones na story. Any CMD sending his or her children to school in the West is corrupt.

Theflint1:
Your point was CMDs don't earn above 10M per year. According to Dangote, Mr Farouk was spending over 300M on school fees for his children yearly.

Two very different conversations IMHO.

Even if they earn 20m annually, the best they should realistically afford is admission into the very lowest-tier universities in the West, and that’s being generous. Yet we both know that’s not what’s happening in reality.

Honestly, I agree with Disstroy. Any civil servant earning 10 - 20m a year and comfortably sending their children abroad for schooling is almost certainly corrupt. Even if we factor in side businesses, no CMD would be able to sustain that without dipping into corrupt practices.

Reno Omokri was really made an ambassador? Unbelievable.

Konji wants to finish Americans. Paying for nudes is pure stupidity.

lol.

It's just sad....this Tinubu is a disappointment beyond belief

Tinubu till 2040.

Let's see how long Nigerians can really adapt.

No matter how you twist it, Cedar didn't conduct the test, they just issued out the test results, every one back then knew Tonto was a user

Let me get something straight, even if she was a user back in the day, if she stops indulging in them for years, don't you know they'll clear from her system ?

Oil palm is more profitable if you can exercise patience.

CrystalTiger:
The insatiable need to always tell lies, smh..

Propaganda has become the standard operating procedure under APC. To avoid constant disappointment, it’s safer to assume the opposite of whatever the federal government, its ministries, or agencies put out.

At this point, only those still clinging to forced patriotism and blind optimism continue to be shocked by the failures of Nigerian institutions.

Melvyn11:
A stay at home wife would also be working and earning money on her own if she was not married and bundled with taking care of the family so why does she not deserve alimony in a break up?

Did she have a career before marriage? Why are you even asking this when I already addressed it in the very post you quoted?

If a woman had an established career and was asked by her husband to give it up for marriage or childcare, then compensation is justified. That's real sacrifice that deserves half of the assets and alimony.

However, if she had no career to begin with, or if she chose to quit on her own without any pressure from the husband.... I believe you know the answer.

A40:
There's some advantages to these laws no doubt but there's also been an overcorrection. The incentive to break up the family based on these laws is higher than to stay together

We literally have no-fault divorce (she can wake up and say she no do again via no fault of yours)

I think people are complaining now though. With their feet. Millennials and zoomers have checked out on both sides. From the women who don't wanna be wives to the men that believe it's a bad deal in general

I support child support, but only where the man actually supported keeping the pregnancy.
You cannot insist on “my body, my choice,” shut a man out of that decision entirely, and then turn around to impose responsibility on him after the child is born. Choice cannot be selective.

I also support alimony, but in very specific circumstances. If a woman was gainfully employed and her husband pressured her to quit her job to focus on marriage or raising children, she absolutely deserves compensation if the marriage collapses. That sacrifice has value..
Beyond that scenario, I do not support alimony. Anything else is entitlement dressed up as justice.

Melvyn11:
Stop over exaggerating. You don't get kicked out of your house and denied access to your kids without a reason. Most of the men don't even fight for custody of their children in the first place and the woman don't just get the house without giving up something and it's mostly for the kids to continue schooling and living in the same house without disrupting their lives. That's another media nonsense purported . Just a search on Reddit on normal people who went through divorce will set you straight. Stop using the case of one useless celebrity with 10 baby mamas to reach a conclusion.

Have you heard of Emmanuel Eboué?

Anyway, I remember our abortion discussion. You argued that women should have absolute authority to decide whether to keep or terminate a pregnancy, without any input from men. Yet, in the same breath, you insisted that men should not have the right to opt out of a child’s life, even when they never supported keeping the pregnancy in the first place.

That contradiction told me everything I needed to know about where you stand on any matter involving men and women.

A40:
They make these laws and wonder why guys have checked out of any serious long term commitment and have gone rogue

You get kicked out of your house, can't see your kids and you're bleeding money. Look at Russell Simmons recent bants. This babe has married two other men and still answering his last name. Stole his money and was collecting 50k a month for 20 years. That shit is not sustainable

The funny thing about this stuff is that Western men don't complain about these laws, rather they defend them when others talk about the absurdity of those laws, it's as if they've all been simpified.

Ironically, it’s mostly African men and other immigrants in the West that question the logic behind those laws.

China recently addressed this exact issue by passing a law that prevents asset splitting by half after divorce.
So basically, the whole world sees the problem, except the people being played by it.

If Tinubu can pull this off using his INEC and Supreme Court skills, he will earn my respect. At least for once let all Nigerians benefit from his corruption skills.

People who complain about corruption in this country only do so when it doesn't favor them....

ElSudani:
She can afford to get medical help anywhere, can you?
These type of rhetorics are for people you elected to provide Healthcare for you, not people who did so out of the goodness of their hearts.

Don't project your poverty on me.

I hope she'll take treatment in the hospital whenever she's sick oh. I'm tired of seeing people build facilities tagged "world-class" that they run away from instead of using them.

Has any Western company purchased piggyvest yet? Putting money in start-ups or tech companies owned majorly by Nigerians is very risky.
They can wake up one day and pull everything without notice. It has already happened with Patricia and many others.

I just hope FG don't allow piggyvest to fail because if the owners disappear or pull some funny stunt, it won't be funny oh.

oluwatomiwa:
When you step out to ANY Africa country, then you will cherish and appreciate Nigeria. Talking from experience

The cost of living in these other African countries is insane. Nigeria has one of the lowest cost of living in the entire continent, if you remove Lagos.

Except the insecurity issue which is gradually turning into something else, the only area these African countries are better than Nigeria is infrastructure, nothing else, if you ask me. Nigeria is terribly lagging behind in infrastructure.

semid4lyfe:
If you like assemble 100 support strikers, your proffered solution of people voting on the basis of account balance is silly. Make I clear that one first.

And while you're at it, do not stop at just voting. Extend am wella.

Access to public healthcare and education, regulate am by account balance.

Public roads, ban poor people from plying them.

Electricity nko? Only people who live in duplexes and mansions should be connected to the national grid.

Fire service, check your account first before calling on them for emergencies.

etc etc

If poverty disqualifies people from political choices, then kuku "holocaustricize" them from the society. It's better than pretending you care about democracy while advocating for a system where financial status determines basic rights and citizenship.

I hope you get the shallowness of your post now? As for the blocking thing, trust me, the feeling is mutual.

You keep talking about my solution. Why don't you tell us what your own solution to the problem is?
Are you happy that people collect money to sell their votes?

You shouldn't be reacting the way you're reacting if you don't collect money to sell your vote.

Well, your comrades are the ones who help to announce fraudulent results, so it's not impossible for you to sell your vote.

semid4lyfe:
Bossman, you too dey yarn opata. And anytime you are called out for it, you'd use agidi and stronghead to try to obfuscate and deflect the issue.

I doubt you even know the meaning of wetin you post so make I break am down for you.

About 133 - 139 million Nigerians live below the poverty line. In percentage terms, that's around 56% - 61% of the population. Now if you extrapolate that to Nigerians of voting age (18 years and above), the poor voters will be around the same mark of 50%+.

So invariably wetin you dey talk be say over 50% of eligible voting age Nigerians should be disenfranchised on the basis of their account balance abi? And you dare refer to me as being illogical and emotional?

Bro, pls drop your phone and go to bed. Sleep to reboot your brain and try again tomorrow morning.

And oh, you're welcome.

What then do you suggest should be done? @ellexy this response is one of the reasons I told you Nigeria is doomed. It's good to be optimistic or patriotic, but with most Nigerians poor, they'll keep accepting malt, gala and 2k to sell their votes, while the rest of us live with their decisions. It's a cycle that'll keep repeating itself infinitely.

You're a matured person, a lecturer for that matter, but most times it just seems like you only argue to win or prove something, and I don't know who you're trying to prove anything to. If I say what's on my mind,bot will either delete it or you'll call your people to delete it.

I don't know why it's not possible to block mods, I would've just blocked this bumpkin.

A40:
This is just offside

You can't blame him. It seems like although donjazzet is also an oldie on this platform, he mainly focused on politics section.
Anybody that used to be active on romance and family section 10 years ago will never make such assertion. That's the only plausible reason anybody will say The Son Of Mark and Nihilist are the same person.

semid4lyfe:
This reminds me of that X feminist Ulxma that tweeted sometime ago that she hated men, wished they'll all die and that the world would be a safer place without men.

Na the same pattern. Plenty pent-up frustration, seething anger and bitterness culminating in an impulsive overreaction and extreme take with zero discipline of thought.

So make we begin dey carry account statement waka to polling unit to prove we have N1million Naira (or benchmark amount) in order to cast our votes abi?

Clap for yourself. Collect your medal. 🥉

So we should allow some people to continue collecting malt and 2k to vote, knowing fully well that the votes of those people collecting crumbs to vote determine the direction of the entire country?

You're just being emotional about this shit. Understand where someone is coming from/intent before rushing to quote someone to prove a non-existent point.

Ellexy:
The real issue is not material poverty as much as it is poverty of the mind. It's more of a mindset problem honestly.

A general overhaul of the mindset of the Nigerian populace? Do you think that is possible?

I agree with you that it's more of mindset problem, but that problem can't be solved because of tribalism, religion, and illiteracy. Unless you want to Thanos the population I don't think there's anything that can be done. The country is doomed.

TemporaryHansel:
Poor people in Nigeria disgust me man. I hate them with passion.
Obviously, most Nigerians are poor so I don't see how Nigeria will escape this cycle. You know a party isn't serious, and yet you keep voting for people from same party because of 2k and malt.

They'll complain/wail,and still repeat same madness during the next election cycle.

I honestly don't blame abroadians who mock Nigerians because how can you complain something isn't favoring you, and yet you keep voting for it, then expect people that didn't follow you to collect bribe to vote to sympathize with you when the consequences of your decision start to show?
Is it not possible for poor people to have dignity and self respect?

Unless the poor are banned from voting in this country, this cycle will keep repeating itself infinitely.
