Family › Re: A Christian Husband Like Christ by thorpido(m): 1:29pm On Mar 31, 2020
sassysure:
Very wrong comparison that Christians normally make and unrealistic.
When husbands fail to reach up to half of the points mentioned, wives will be utterly frustrated and this breeds resentments afterall the men should be like Jesus.
(It's like the proverbial virtuous woman that men hold onto or women submissivess churches preach.)

Jesus never married.
Just like saying reverend fathers are the best marriage counsellors.
How can they when they don't marry.

In marriage, u don't look up to anybody cos u will fail.
Everybody has his or her own uniqueness horned by his or her environment or nature. No written rules. Don't set standard rather encourage the best traits u see in your spouse. Marriage work best when u dont set standards.
Go and make research.
When u set standards for human, that's when they fail most or if they should ever aspire to meet such standards, it will.be forced and not from the heart. E.g. parents and children.
The thread is not just about a husband but a Christian husband.There's nothing unrealistic about the thread and the virtues Op outlined.
I can understand the frustrations of many people and I dare say you too because many have not learnt that you actually can live 'THIS LIFE' that the bible speaks about.It's not religion.

Define 'enhanced', please.

Anyways, I anticipated this response.

http://saharareporters.com/2006/08/11/mohammed-babangida-detained-efcc-looks-globacom-and-ibb’s-“front-investments”

https://www.proshareng.com/news/Investors-NewsBeat/FG-Moves-to-Seize-Globacom-Shares/1500

https://www.balancingact-africa.com/news/telecoms-en/5386/babangidas-sons-name-appears-on-some-globacom-ownership-documents

Guess who owns a staggering 38% of Globacom shares? Not even Babangida but his son! Except you want to tell me how the son of man who 'enhanced' the business of another managed to land 38% shares, then this discussion won't be possible anymore.

You could as well refer to the above as speculations.
Enhanced - supplement,magnify,improve,augment,escalate etc.
Babangida could own shares in globacom.That I cannot refute but the argument is that Adenuga doesn't own globacom.He does.There may have been investors(and there would be) but doesn't change the fact that it's an Adenuga company.
Mohammed Babangida could have invested in the company.His father could even have compelled Adenuga to accept it.

As to the links you provided,don't forget there are political undertones to some actions.

It may also be a mamba. Black mambas could either be green or silver in colour.
Yes,mambas can be green too but not very common around here.

I used that word because there have been several reports on the true owner of Globacom over the years.

TELL magazine did an exposé on the relationship between Mike Adenuga and Ibrahim Babaginda over 15 years ago and even went as far as establishing the relationship between them.

Tell wasn't the only print that beamed its light on this. That of Alakija was also written.

If I used the word 'alleged', I was only being diplomatic because Babaginda owns several businesses across Nigeria and uses some so called faithfuls around him to front these business.

What I'm sure of is Mike Adenuga isn't the outright owner of Globacom but Babaginda. If you have contrary ideas, bring them forward while I put links to these publications.

Adenuga's initial source of wealth amongstamy other things isn't alien to most people. I wonder why you think this is some abstract idea.
@bolded,there is still no proof.Even publications that were made were merely speculative.Adenuga indeed had/has a good relationship with Babangida who ENHANCED his business.It doesn't mean he owns it even though he MAY have shares in the company.Alhaji Arisekola Alao had a good relationship with Abacha and enjoyed many things during his tenure.It doesn't mean Abacha owned Arisekola's businesses.

Adenuga does not have half of Tinubu's money. I'm sure you're aware that Babangida allegedly owns Globacom and not Adenuga?

That aside, Tinubu cannot outdonate the entrepreneurs that have been coming out lest he beams unnecessary attention his way.
You say allegedly but with a touch of confidence.
Oga say what you are sure of!

Op,it is called a Garten or garden snake.
That is not a mamba.
Family › Re: A Woman Who Has Been A Devoted Christian For Years Has HIV by thorpido(m): 8:44am On Mar 30, 2020
There are different routes to get HIV and it does not nean the person has been promiscuous.The label 'faithful Christian's does not apply here.
You need to find a way to keep encouraging her to start treatment before opportunistic infections take over.
The husband should get tested too.

You could quit if you want but the world needs you.
The most important people in the world now are health workers.

Yeah,it's tough for a Nigerian woman So much crazy s#it a woman is subjected to.

Marriage is not the all in all(though it's a beautiful thing with the right person).
A woman should hold her own,have a source of income and a good self-esteem.
Most importantly,have wisdom to choose when it comes to marriage.

Casalindal:
So I got this mail today and since the monika doesn’t not got the balls to share, she reached out to me to help out... if you got any useful advice you could drop them as she will be reading thank you

Hi casalinda, please help keep me anonymous for reason personal to me as got families here. So I got married to this lovely man from Ogun state at first it was beautiful and our union was peaceful until I got pregnant and it seem that was the beginning of my DOOM. 5month into my pregnancy I had contraction which was unusual and it eventually cause me losing my child, 3days after this my husband started misbehaving and blame the whole process on me and blame me for not saving our baby life it make it seem I was the one controlling the narrative. Things got bad that within a week my husband filed for a divorce which it was finally granted and I lost everything I mean totally everything. I don’t know what to make out of myself as I have resulted into hating men and especially Yoruba men I am losing my mind and I am confused. Please help me post this I dnt know where else to go or what else I should do
I don't know if your story is true but the bolded is where you are getting it wrong.Is your intent to make it a Yoruba bashing thread?

I don't believe your story though.One miscarriage and the next thing is a divorce? People who have had multiple miscarriages or still birth nko?

Well,you are not blood relations so you can have the baby.
If you like yourselves so much to be sleeping with each other then maybe you can progress to marriage.
You can just have a small introduction and the wedding later.

Corona virus no even fear una.

1. Apart from his poverty, why else did you marry him?
Op,this is the key question.
It's not about marrying a guy who has little,it is about marrying the right man....a man of integrity,good character and fear of God.Whether you marry a poor guy or rich guy,if his character is faulty,it's still a wrong choice.

Rip.
This is so sad.
For long journeys back then, I don't travel in small vehicles. They seem to me so unsafe to travel with.
My thinking too.How do people make long journey in a salon car?

*It's no guarantee of safety but definitely lesser risks.

Yes some have both parents who abandoned them, some are orphans etc, for you to assume that most misfits are from single parents is very wrong, that is my point.
Well,you said most are orphans and that is not true.Most have parents but come from disjointed families.

Most? Misfits in the society today are mostly orphans who grew up in the streets, unless you can state out your claim with proof, cos we also have misfits that came out from comfortable homes with both parent present too.
They aren't mostly orphans,they are children who have parents but were abandoned or left their parents.
My work gets me involved with motherless babies homes and rehab homes for children.These children have parents but they were/are not present.

Biglittlelois:
And children who grew up with a single parent and turned out fine, wat say ye to that? I insist that marriage is not for everyone, people can choose a kind of life they want to live.
For every child that was raised by a single parent and turned out fine,there are many more that didn't.
Most social misfits in the society were raised by single parents.
