This is coming from a man!

That is self explanatory
The man does not see the need to apportion anything to take care of his wife. Its his choice

as for me, its taking care of my wife as opposed to wife maintenance

are you surprised?

the same ones screaming independence are the ones offended by the thought of helping pay for a wedding.

as per the thread. no set amount should be put on a woman. Who says the woman can't even afford it herself.

ure correct
the figures are just trying to add some imagery to the exercise.

even if my wife is rich enuff, im still obligated to my duties as the head of the house

this is a thread for an open discussion on how u fend for ur wife!

i think comprehension is a problem on this thread if not, anybody in his/her right senses will not call a man sick for 'calculating' hw much hes spending on his wife

nyways, anything gives on the net
asinine posts will be appreciated too

retards!

dont get it. What was wrong in the poster asking how much extra he should earmark each month to ensure that he is able to properly fend for his wife financially.

Double standards I say; women are offended by the question but no one wants to marry a poor man, a tight man or a gigolo!

At least the man is thinking of going into marriage knowing that he is going to have to increase his spending because he now has responsibilities. Whats wrong with that.

My husband spends on me . . . . and No I am not one of his properties.

good this is comin from a lady
the unnecessary outbursts from some explains the reasons why we have anarchy in some homes

can u really draw parallels betwen this convo and treating a woman like a piece of furniture?
some ar brain damaged

Hi people. How did the day's hustle go?
Was at NCC today. . .mayn, that place is so FINE! Doesn't make Ernest less of a poof though. lol.

the pay in NCC is equally very good
u dont want to know how much there drivers earn

@TKB
When they box your head around so much that your brain turns to pap eh, you go know how far. I just dislike that particular sport. What do you need sports for sef. . .you guys in investment finance rake in substantial profit.

i just dey joke o
boxing ke?
God forbid. My profession is cool even if i cant afford a Ferrari

babes hw far?

I never said he was not a playmaker, I said he wasn't a great playmaker.

Seems some people don't know what it means to be a playmaker

Playmaker: A player in a sport with goals, such as a guard in basketball, who initiates offensive plays.

The playmaker conducts the orchestra of his team's attack. A key part of being a good playmaker is ball distribution. Running at defenses is not play making.
Playmakers play in the middle of the field, and not as supporting/shadow strikers. Their main weapon is their passing, and not their dribbling skills.
For example, in the current Barcelona team, Xavi is the playmaker and not messi.
Maradona was a great player, but was far from being a great playmaker

the above came from you
you were trying to say Maradona was a support striker
i can read and understand english mr biina

ok, now that we have both agreed that hes was a playmaker good
as for who was the greatest, maradona still ranks better than Zidane

do you know when Zidane was actively playing for France, he was the highest goal scorer for the national team behind Trezeguet and some goals better than Henry?
does that mean Zidane was a striker?
Its a known fact that Playmakers atimes score a lotta goals for their teams

not sure about the number of games Pasculli played but i know he was the second striker apart from Valdano

ill giv my wife dis n dat,
10% out of my income,  
10 % for food, another
30% for juice, bla bla bla
ya'll shud wait till then b4 sayin it
plus
 im nt his property, dnt need him to maintain me

the thread says how much will you apportion to ur wifeys upkeep and i answered
no one has said ure a piece of wood to be polished, ok.
if guys come out to say the opposite, ure the first that will come out to say the guys are stingy

madam, leave story
btw, hw is Griffith?

Who is still arguing Maradona wasn't a play-maker?

Biina is arguing
sawrry i didnt put Bochini in ma list of midfielders
he was one of the best in that world cup tho

Biina
i dont know how you see your games but in 1986, Valdano and Pasculli were the strikers for Argentina

Are you pissed?, stop acting like say you dey vex jare,
Who's your own NL stalker sef?

come on ur YIM
i have a package for u. and what happened to ur fone?

my NL stalker? say who die?
i dont have any

Bruv, your future wife is going to be one very lucky woman. I guess you can only afford to do all listed in Nigeria (i doubt you will be able to manage your wages' percentage distribution in the western world).

On another note though, what do you expect from her in return?

Chief, i chose to live here o cos i know i wont survive over there.
You guys are trying sha

what do i expect from my wife?
good food at all times and also proper house keeping.
Nothing more

LOLZ!, trying to scare those stalkers away,
How you dey?

~Already Subscribed~

and what do u think ure doing?
huh?

Maradona is undoubtedly the best playmaker in the world.

nobody comes close

so many didnt see Maradona so i guess we can pardon them
Zizou is one of the greatest but maradona is the CEO of the playmakers

If ur salary na 60K as most civil servants earn in Nigeria??

then following my formula, u'll give her 18k out of the 60k

u cant give more than what you have

While we continue support barbarism, Nigeria will never progress. If he was contracted for 3 days work and the 3 days were up, he is free to leave. That should be a lesson to the producers to be better organized. Can you see this same situation happening on any hollywood set? I definitley think not.
Any personal dislike of Jim Iyke is not the issue here. I'm not crazy about the guy either, but i think it is very bad that something like this can still happen in this day and age, only in Naija.

tales by moonlight

don't mind all the people laughing at this barbaric behaviour.
The day they see their mothers or sisters stripped naked and lashed with koboko on youtube buy naval ratings,they'll stop laughing.

hmm, ur mothers and sisters may fall victims of koboko lashes too so dont even go there

@OP he just got a good dose of his past barbaric ways so i'll suggest the mungo parks here should shut the fck up

Nobody has ever (and will ever) single handedly won the world cup. It is not possible to single handedly win a team sport.

then you didnt see Argentina vs England in 1986 world cup

lets start with his most memorable performance. In the 1986 world cup, what was maradona's position?

what you do not know, its good to ask so i give you thumbs up for asking
Diego Amando maradona was a playmaker in 1986 world cup. he played as a central midfielder

Argentina had 3 strikers at the 86 mundial namely
~ Sergio Almiron
~Jorge Valdano
~Pedro Pasculli

Maradona was in the midfield with others like

~Claudio Borghi
~Jorge Burruchaga
~Richardo Giusti

so how is Maradona not a playmaker?
can u enlighten us?

~ill give my wife 10% of my income for her pocket per month
~another 10% for house upkeeping
~another 10% for food and drinks in the house

Thats 30% of my income aside the 10% that im gonna give God

im left with 60% for rent, my car, clothings, investment and others

its really expensive to keep a wife but i dont mind.
Just make sure you earn big or earn from multiple places

that guy is always beating people up but this time, hes been beaten

cool. wont forget the reloaded episode involving this molue bastard, the man nearly killed another lousy murfcker whos into showbiz/tv/radio.

If to say i sabi fight, i for don beat this Jimmy boi sef
but no way, insider gists have it that the guy can fight.
Im sure he grew up in mushin

He is so poor that maldini said he is the best player to replace him at milan

i tot Maldini was a LB or sometimes a CB
Ramos is a RB and has never played as a LB so who is replacing who?

He is so poor that at 23 he has been the first choice RB for real madrid for the past 4 seasons, scoring 24 goals with 10 assists in 170 appearances

does that make him the best? maybe Real need a clear out of people like Ramos to put a stop to the numerous maulings from rival clubs
6-2, 4-0 are terrible scorecards for any defender that played a part in such shows of shame

maicon is a better defender
Sagna is better than ramos defensively, hes more of a wingback than a defender so make we rest

Maradona not a playmaker?
and what was he?
any ideas?

u guys shld stop saying what you dont know. How many clips of Maradona did u see?
if u havent seen, try and buy DVDs and see

check his exploits at the world cup, napoli and co and get back to me

Zidane a great player but Maradona is a notch better

@diggler, tkb, and the other money men. . . I dey find moni o. looking for some project finance for some top-secret SPV that I'm putting together with a bunch of kora friends from across the continent. tkb especially let's talk.

. . . yeah, I know brash is off the chain in the sports section. I go soon invent one mobile service for una, so I can make some money off your obsessions. Una dey there dey rake, small boys dey waka with 80 million Euros (dang!)

Im thinking seriously of taking to sports. i dont think i can play footie again, maybe ill go and learn boxing. One fight can fetch me 10 million dollars and then ill retire provided my opponent wont kill me 
the money in sports is too much. Gimme me 80mill dolls to work with and ill deliver some projects that will ameliorate some sufferings in this country. na that kind money den dey take buy 2 legs? wahala don enter football

tollu, no worry. Jab go soon land. Baba G always has something for His peeps.

amen o! Tollu needs to get back to VI. i don miss am

Maicon is the best RB in the world

If Ramos is the best RB in the world, then Yobo is the best CB in the world

whats the difference between Ramos and Alves?
abeggi

maicon by a billion miles

Oh. Itohan is supposed to be oyinbo?

i think hes from Chad

Yep, they have.

You don't even have to put dates of your school period on your CV as it allows employers to calculate/guess your age.

And they are not allowed to ask.

that needs to happen fast in 9ja

Chiks-cfa

You dont have to do any Internship if u have 4 years IB experience in the UK
Things aint that bad. Pls, lemme know what firms uve have worked in the past

cheers

Equitable distribution? Na beans, for where?   

Except you are saying the government will introduce compulsory military service, as equitable distribution of national cake only goes to ex-Generals. 

Fact is, some select few people are going to make a killing from these deals because of there networks and/or societal advantage, and most likely not because of merit.

I am yet to see a capitalist system deliver general well-being in the form or at the level that the Scandinavian model delivers. Capitalism appeals to the inherent greed that exist in humans and it cultivates it to come out unashamedly and acts like an auto-advocate for the worst breed amongst us.

Here is a classic example (Note: I am not saying all bankers are like this, but I do find this interesting):

http://www.thelondonpaper.com/thelondonpaper/news/london/city-trader-paid-1-3m-bonus-sues-company-for-being-short-changed

This arse paid himself 92% of the bonus pool, like if he did 92% of the work. Whilst paying others in the team peanuts or nothing (just because he can) and still has the guts to sue for more. 

But, let me be clear, I think there is room for PPP in Nigeria but I just hope the government have altruistic, deep and smart thinkers to get them a good deal.

There are people but the sincerity of purpose has always been an issue.
Lets hope the likes of Saga will come on board my govt in 2018

Pally, u don win

@Saga
Ill agree with you that success should be based on the general wellbeing of the citizenry but wait; who says capitalism cannot ensure that? Since I don't live in a strictly capitalist economy, ill say success of the government in Nigeria will be partnering with the private sector to generate wealth and also equitable distribution of the wealth generated amongst all and sundry.
That's my own lil defination of success.

@ Igwe
My honourable Chairman sir. How ur side? Lagos is good o. Mad traffic right now. How Abuja na? Where is busybody? Try release am make we see am. Lol.

maradona, zizzou and dinho in that order for me

I can't see any non-financial benefit analysis or maximising social benefit analysis on the list, which is my point.

Believe me, some incredibly smart people choose not to work in high finance, some are doctors, management consultants and even civil servants.

You need to meet some of the Civil Servants (the senior ones) in the UK and know how smart they are, they are like

what do u do sef saga?
i know u know Balanced Scorecard in and out.
are you a mgt consultant? i need to know how i can tackle you too

anyway, i totally agree with your sentiments/points
very valid.

Why do u think they re in biz in the 1st place? elementary business studies!!-LOL, am sure u dont want to know what they do in order to make your deals and offerings go right properly.let me give u a tip of the iceberg-for instance,the govt bond thingie,

due diligence reports,
approval from SEC.
compliance with SEC rules and regulations(as amended) and follow all procedures.
DCF Analysis and modelling (ask TBK abt Black-Scholes modelling)
computing the cost of debt.
sensitivity analysis.
calculation of d debt beta.
Mgt of all principal players in the deal
Introduction of the securities.
preparation of offer document and filing of same as appropriate.
underwriting of under subscribed securities. ETC

dnt even think about it, smart pple as them will be in the industry too.[/quote]getting approvals from SEC can be annoying T-cann

Sagamite:
tkb,

The key question is how do the gov intend to repay the loans?

Do the projects have an income stream? And if they do, how is this structured? And is the infrastructure a neccesity (e.g. water)? If so are the charges to the public really affordable, and conveniently so, for a vast majority of the people? Do the public (utilisers of outcome of project infrastructure) have any substitute if these are beyond their reach?

This are the key questions that will bother me that I hope the government has addressed before utilising high finance for public infrastructure. Investment banking has a culture of only looking for how to line their pocket (profit, profit, profit), not for public good, so if one has to dine with them, alot has to be assessed in detail by people that are relatively as smart as them.

hehehehe
ure not serious o

hmm, i was trying to say some of the bonds being used are being deployed to developmental projects that will be run by private entities (not govt officials)
all your questions are relevant and i tell you, the chaps running the projects and the instruments have asked these questions.
This is a new dawn. You need to come to 9ja soon and see how things are moving

"we" are not only looking to line our pockets but we are committed to some CSR in our own capacity. Running compelling business cases is not the only thing that attracts people like us, we are also committed to doing deals that will alleviate the suffering of the people.

The govt. will repay the loans through well thought out identified income streams from these projects and talking about affordable infrastructure; i dunno your defination of affordable but i know its within the reach of those that will make use of the infrastructures
These things are dilapidated and the only way outta it is to tax people to get it revamped and then things can shape up

On the issue of tax, i think its a necessary evil and thier is nothing we can do to it for now

u want to die ke?
go and look for work abeg.

hes ma hommie tho so no wahala

people, im off to some other pressing matters

cheers

Sagamite:
How are this state governments going to coup up the funds to repay this investors the attractive interests that will be placed on the loans?

I just hope this governors are not going to inadvertedly turn Nigeria into a tax-heavy state, leading to the stress and unhappiness seen in the West.

Not everything being done in the West is good and must be copied. Especially their ridiculous philosphy on economic empowerment and growth.

Sagamite
I dont see anything wrong in State Govts issuing bonds for developmental projects
Like we all know, Govts are not set up to run for profits so they defintely will be able to meet up with their repayment obligations

and on a serious note, i was at an infrastructural summit last year in Abuja where i happened to be one of the human resources used. The summit had in attendance the who is who in the private and public sector. Private organisations like ARM, Rencap, Vetiva, Phillips Consulting, BGL, Olaniwun Ajayi, Udo Udoma and co, Zenith Bank, UBA and co had their MDS or their CEOs in attendance. (The list goes on). On the Public side, we had Fashola, The Federal Ministers and some other state governors in attendance.

Gurus like Andoaka, Soludo, World Bank Country Rep, the head of DMO, pwC country Rep, Elebute (KPMG managing partner), Foluso Phillips and a lot of people i cant remember gathered at Transcorp for 2-3 days to fashion a way out for the country.
It was a GIVEN that the Government alone cannot solve the infrastructural deficiencies of this country and the Public Private Pratnership initiative was agreed to be the way out.
Lagos State had already taken the front seat in this regard with the number of projects they are running with the private people in order to alleviate the problems in this country. Mind you, the PPP model isnt just about project delivery and management, it also encompasses fund raising!

If the state governments can raise capital from the private sector to fund their developmental projects, why not? Any discerning state government will not wait for any FED allocation to initiatie and execute developmental projects. The issuance of bonds is one of the numerous mechanisms our state governments can take to shore up any allocation from the central. These govts i presume are taking these initiatives for the overall development of this country.

I dont see any wrong in what they are doing yet!
let us laud these moves as these are steps in the right direction.

my opinion tho
