My dear,
next time just be careful who you choose to be with. He is obviously immature and eager to talk about his conquests. I wouldnt beat myself too much about it, shit happens. Some people actually think they are adventurous doing it in the bushes. . You have nothing to worry about, hold your head up high and go find someone that is worth it. Hes just a little child unworthy of your love. Try dating someone older than you. maybe 5 years, and that friend that used something so silly to insult you? desist from any relationships with her. Also try making new friends and moving with new sets of people. He lost a wonderful gem, and is hurt that you dared to dump him. You will find love, just forget him and move on. He already has.

So how do we go about shaming these useless people?

Is The Culture Of Praising Stolen Money Responsible For Nigeria's Predicament?

i think this is the root of all our problems. The outrageous looting has got to stop. Less than 1% own all the wealth; lets discuss.

I am sorry, but if he is not an indigene then he should not hold the position. He can be appointed some where else, but he should not represent Lagos . The real Lagosians know the original families, and can trace their roots back to a family name and compound. As other states do the same and expect the same, why should Lagos be different? He can be a good fit for another position, as i like his credentials. I support a Lagosian representing Lagos state. They cant let other indigenes be hijacking what is theirs. They already cope with them in their state competing for everything, so its only fair. If they dont like it, they can go to their states and contest.

In the interview with President, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Ralph Uwechue

I dont understand what you people are saying about this article, no one in particular said they were not Igbo. From what i see the Ohaneze Ndigbo was talking about the differences that divide the two. So the poster is only trying to ruffle some feathers with his post. I guess this is a very touchy topic with you guys. Everyone is free to identify with what and who they are. Or is this more than identity and more about the Biafra movement? i guess Igbo's will just have to settle with the ones that say they are Igbo. lol, no biggie.

I dont think he can ever be president again. It will be advisable for him to be an adviser with the army or some other special post. But we are done with recycling old presidents. We want new and fresh people. I think he will try but will be thoroughly embarassed and will be used as a scape goat for others. People have to know when to bow out gracefully. He caused all the rubbish in Nigeria today. The people want change and have demanded it, and attempt by Babangida will be squashed. I will like him to try it for entertainment purposes, because i want to see him shamed. It is no more a North, South, East or West thing. It is now about Nigerian changing and moving forward. The ball has stopped with Yaradua. We need only good people, not destructive people.

lol at the mad man, i think he is a nairalander. Because Nairaland is the only place where dreams come true, and maybe disney. lol. he should keep dreaming, whether he likes it or not, Nigeria will continue to be a thorn in his side, and the biggest black nation in the world. Before his eyes, we shall be a super power, and send our boys to make his country brown, not Arab.lmao. When a mad man displays, you only watch the show and laugh because a mad man is not with all his senses.

If satan is a catholic, then everyone is in trouble. The catholic church is the first church and all other churchs are an off shoot of the catholic church. Also, as we know islam sef copy the christian principles. So see how you sound so silly making that conclusion from a useless conspiracy theorist video? dont judge some individuals by a group. The church only enforces celibacy, and these priests are not ready to follow the rules, and the most available to them are children. I always wonder how parents can leave their children alone with an adult, be it priest, cousin or whatever. I dont trust anyone. Its like saying all muslims are suicide bombers. You generalize too much.

@ Luizworld,
we have exchanged ideas on how to conceal or hide some people.

@ myhouse,
i think you are young. No woman will ever want to be with you if you dont know how to show love or care. They will just keep leaving and dumping you. Women are emotional creatures so you will never succeed in what you want to do. As there are bad men, there are also bad women. You just need to be a little more careful in who you talk to and who you consider to be your girlfriend. Its not all about looks but also character. So being a hard guy will never work, you may end up loosing a wonderful woman, and fall again for a biatch that will break your heart. What am saying is give everyone a chance and always love with an open heart.

@ poster,
Go somewhere and meet a stranger, preferably an older person with nothing much to do. Then unleash all your issues on them and cry and wail. Then they will give you a hug (its always better when it comes from a stranger), and good advice. trust me you will feel so much better. And you know what? it doesnt cost a dime, your family members are not in your business doing "i told you so", and you will get the most objective advice. I dont support the use of medication for depression because they may come with their side effects. All you need really is love, care and attention. If its a more serious mental health issue with a hint of depression, then please see a psychiatrist.

@ Poster
I think it is you that is doing this despicable act. Its either you or the story is fabricated to get attention. You are asking redundant questions, that have already been answered. Everyone has told you to inform the guy, it serves his own interest. What if he is yet to be infected, and it is a life at stake. If you knew all this and you did not say anything, and he dies you will feel terrible. Because whatever you sow you shall reap. In the future, it may be you in this situation or a family member. There are times when we should speak out and damn the consequences. And if it is you spreading this nasty disease, you will answer to your God in heaven, and it will be a very terrible punishment indeed. Just do yourself a favor and confess.

You need to just learn to walk away and cool off, and then come back when you have thought of the most rational way to deal with your issues. Learn to talk without raising your voice or being confrontational, because not everyone will agree with you in this world. If you have an anger problem that is out of control now, imagine how you will face the future challenges to come. So learn to walk away, and if your anger is so bad that you cant, you may have psychological issues and may need to see a counselor

lol, i beg you are young oh. Think about your life, you can get infected at any time. I know what i am saying might not be what you want to hear. But you will always wonder how she caught it and you didnt. . Though i understand there are various ways to contract the disease. There are a lot of other people out there, but regardless you can be part of her support system but not the sexual part. Take care, and in your future encounters demand a test first, before anything.

wow, this thread is an eye opener. I am enjoying reading the stories, please continue so you can educate the rest of us that are ignorant. Its good to know you can find love in all this. I wish you the best, and i hope you will try to keep your husband safe so he can be there to care for your children. Goodluck with everything.

Dont ever try to give up your hopes and dreams because nothing is guaranteed. I mean there is no guarantee the relationship will work. If he truly loves you, he will see the future benefits of your goals and dreams. He will also encourage you to achieve them. . Dont let any man spoil your own oh, because men are known to move on with little or no thought.

I have learnt a bad habit today on Nairaland, and some very genius tricks.

Dora should either be give Education, INEC or Immigration. We need a whole immigration reform so that we can deport the chad, and niger people back to their country. These people are becoming too much, i heard there are now Shuwa Arabs in the North? . When did Nigeria have a shuwa Arab population? . So many reforms are needed. And the citizenship requirements need to change. Maybe they should require that you have a grand parent that is Nigerian, and trace your family home.lol, cause these people appearing in Nigeria and claiming Nigerian is alarming. We need security!!!

Dirty, Nasty, Stinking old idiot. This is criminal. He should be arrested and handed over to face the wrath of Sharia. He even left one of his wives to marry an "exotic" Arab for $100000? Nigerian's and their inferiority complex, an Arab wow, what a bastard. All the senators and government officials that attended the wedding should lose their appointments. What a big shame. The North better curb this, cause this is just too much.

Wow!!! this is really disgusting and sick! shame on Nigerian authorities for allowing such blatant abuse. Its also crazy that senators and government officials attended . WOW Nigeria!!! where are the child activists! Even Egypt and islamic country rejected it. This just shows how Nigerians do it al in excess. See the amount he spent as bride price? when did Arabs start doing bride price sef. Wow, am ashamed oh, the government should probe this and he should be handed over to face the wrath of his sharia law NOW!!!

Are there governors who are not graduates? Are there senators and reps who are not graduates?

Erm, yea. very ashamed to say so. Am sure most of them bought their certificates. Now that the senators do confirmation hearings and have signed this requirement into law, i see a lot of people being exposed in the future. The illiterates are rubbing off the literates, that is why you see Nigerian politicians behaving like educated illiterates.

Nice pictures Paddy_lo. At least we have an army that is capable and is all black. They are trying, lets give the military boys that have fought around Africa some praise. What are other African countries doing? with the small we have, we are trying and they should be encouraged to do better. It will only take some time and our defense will improve. We definitely need to stop comparing ourselves with the US and China. One day we will get there, they also did not get there in one day! As our relevance increases as an economic power, our need for more sophisticated weapons will increase! Am proud oh. good job poster.

@ Marvix,

Any political office holder who was expelled by his political party, according to the amendment, would retain his seat only if he refrained from joining another political party when his tenure was still on.

- i dont see where it speculates senators are excluded.

well politicians will have to think about their values and how it relates to the political parties they choose to be associated with. They will realize it is a commitment; no space for nonsense jumping up and down when things don't go their way. The only selfish thing is see there is that these laws apply to the fresh people coming in as:

just as it also indicated that a member of the National Assembly who had served before could contest, even without being a graduate.

At least becomerich cant be a politician. yay!!!

well i'd rather an educated person represent me than an illiterate. As i see it, jonathan is following due process by letting his appointees be confirmed by the senate rather than imposing. He has also put the senate in the position to make progressive changes, and this is a welcome thing. I am sure a lot of politicians have bought degrees to be where they are. With time, they will all be shamed out of office. Now it is the LAW and compulsory. The politicians and their opponents will soon start to expose the criminals amongst them. . Am very impressed by this, and the other changes as well. Its time for CHANGE!!!

From 2011, president, govs must be graduates *As Senate, Reps amend 1999 Constitution *Differ on cross-carpeting

Written by Idowu Samuel, Taiwo Adisa and Ayodele Adesanmi, Abuja
Friday, March 26, 2010

THE Senate and the House of Representatives, on Thursday, respectively endorsed the Constitution Amendment Report by the (House) Committee on Constitution Review and passed into law, the electoral reform aspect of the constitution amendment bill.

While there were points of convergence in the Thursday resolutions of the two chambers, there were equally points of differences.

As an instance, the two chambers differed on the issue of cross-carpeting. While the House outlawed it, the Senate endorsed it.

The report on constitution amendment presented to the plenary session by the Deputy Speaker, Honourable Usman Nafada, outlawed defection by political office holders, while allowing independent candidacy.

According to the amendments, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly had been granted financial autonomy, as they would now be paid directly from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the federation and states.

The approved report also indicated that to become president, vice-president, governor, deputy governor and member of the National Assembly, candidates must possess a degree from a recognised tertiary institution, just as it also indicated that a member of the National Assembly who had served before could contest, even without being a graduate.

An executive summary of the report, which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune, indicated that sections 65, 106, 131 and 171 of the 1999 Constitution was amended to accommodate independent candidacy.

Also, sections 68, 109, 135 and 180 of the constitution was amended to deal with defection, thus making a defector to automatically lose his seat.

According to the amended sections, where a person elected on the ticket of a political party decided to join another political party without evidence of a merger or factions in his former political party, he would vacate his seat.

The amended portion of the constitution also specified that where a person who was elected as an independent candidate became a member of a political party before the expiration of the period of his tenure of office, he would vacate his seat.

Any political office holder who was expelled by his political party, according to the amendment, would retain his seat only if he refrained from joining another political party when his tenure was still on.

Sections 81 and 121 so amended made provisions for inclusion of INEC, National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly for payment in the consolidated revenue fund of the federation and the states.

According to the proposed amendment, section 65, 131 and 177 had been altered to encourage a certain level of academic qualification among contestants into the office of president, vice-president, governors, deputy governors and member of National Assembly, such that contestants for the offices would need to possess a minimum of tertiary institution level or its equivalent, while obtaining relevant certificates of service as a member of the National Assembly for a complete tenure.

Sections 145 and 190 dealt with the periods of election in which a maximum of 60 days to a minimum of 30 days were required before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of the office to a minimum of 120 days and a maximum of 150 days before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of that office.

The report also recommended relevant sections of the Nigeria's electoral law to accommodate the alterations and adjustments made in the 1999 Constitution.

Also, on Thursday, the Senate passed the electoral reform aspect of the constitution amendment bill into law, with the approval for a change in the time for holding general election which could see the next election holding between January and March 2011.

The senators had voted in favour of the amendment of all the clauses of the electoral reform bill on Wednesday, but they deferred the passage of the bill for the third and final reading because of the discovery of the omission of Section 109 and errors on other aspects of the bill.

The Senate thus directed that the errors be corrected and the bill represented for final passage on Thursday.

The bill passed by the Senate indicated that general election would hold, not earlier than 150 days before the expiration of the term of office of the office holder and not later than 90 days before the expiration of the tenure.

Another feature of the bill is the approval of the nominees for resident electoral commissioners (RECs) by the Senate, which were, before now, appointed by the president.

The senators, also on Thursday, approved the missing Section 109 of the constitution to pave the way for cross carpeting by members of the Houses of Assembly.

It was also approved that anyone who would seek elective office must be a university graduate or its equivalent, besides that he must be a citizen of Nigeria by birth, attained the age of 40 years and sponsored by a political party of which he is a member.

The amendments also provided time frames for the disposal of election petitions before the swearing in a and general conduct of elections.

Good move by uncle Jo, as long as the guy can perform i do not have any problem with him. Uncle Jo is compensating the family for their loss, and at the same time preventing competition should he run as a candidate.lol, hes a smart man. This is the same thing Obama did when he got appointed. All his potential competitors for presidency on the democratic side were appointed into positions in his administration. Uncle Jo is smarter than people think actually. Its up to Mr. Murtala to also redeem his family name and do an outstanding job. Am sure Uncle Jo didnt just pick anyone from the Yaradua family, cause they must have many sons that are eligible. I trust he has some knowledge on this guys ability, so let us give him the benefit of the doubt and see if he can perform and execute.

@ mekusxxx  the Nna boaster, you are here again talking shit as usual. Am sure fulani's are doing more damage in your hometown, but oops, no one is at home to defend as you are all running to Yoruba cowards land.

@ Poster,
No one is overrunning anywhere, these fulani roam around and may have to arm themselves for protection from robbers. Even though this is not a good thing. The problem is Nigerians rely too much on their cattle. I think to stop these skirmishes the fulani should be given alternatives to open cattle farms, to put an end to this normadic culture as it is not safe for them and others. Besides any citizen walking around with loaded weapons should be arrested. The government should assess this issue, and make changes. They dont have to roam around to feed their cattle. They should be given land in the north to settle and raise their livestock on a massive scale. This will help them improve their livelihood, live a settled life and may even help them focus on other things like education. Which may make them a lot more useful to Nigeria.

I LIKE THIS!!! I WANT TO VOTE!!! where can i sign up as a volunteer sef. PDP needs credible parties to run against it this upcoming election. Parties that can cry fowl, very very loudly when EWU is at work manipulating numbers . This 2011 is going to be the best election year ever. Change is coming.

This is for EzeUche
you say lagos is great because of Igbo's? i wonder why they couldnt recreate the greatness in Enugu, why Lagos? Why oh why did they choose Lagos? Lagosians really dont want Igbo's there. I remember when Yoruba's want to teach them a lesson, they will jump on ekene dili chukwu busses and run!!! that is when they will remember they have a hometown. It use to be so funny, all of them will disappear. And you call Yoruba cowards? lol, Yoruba know how to deal with you guys well. If you divide Nigeria; Yoruba will go their own way, Hausa will go their own way, Igbo will too. No long thing. Igbo's have only brought fake drugs, fake spare parts, high crime rates to Lagos and Yoruba's should be proud of that? The time is coming, you will get your wish.

Well if you were open with her, and were not someone to judge she wouldn't hide her past from you. You are obviously someone concerned about such or you would not be here looking for solutions. The past is the past, focus on who you have come to know now and who you love. Just be more open and less judgmental Kiss, so that in the future she can confide in you.

[quote]Posted by: H2O2

makes no damn sense whatsoever.

ngbo poster be open to rubbish (even tolerate rubbish sef) so that she can always confide in you.

I know comprehension is a challenge for you. It is people like you that end up with women that lie and pretend to you. What about being judgmental and open as a man dont you understand? You want your wife to pretend to you like she is perfect? well she will give you what you so desire, a very imperfect woman behaving perfectly. Besides a real man will not dwell on the past, but focus on the future. You say Tolerate as if you are her father.lol. You are partners, its not a father-daughter relationship. It is also a fact that when a person is open and understanding, people trust and respect you so much more with their deepest secrets.I hope this break down of words is enough for you.
