Umara Zulum all the way

And the Vice?

For me I will go with Star Boy any day any time with Zulum as his running mate. Let's have two Proffesors handle our affairs for the very first time.

A clarion Call beckons to Professor Yemi Osinbajo and posterity will judge him if he refuses to come out to declare his interest.

Anyways this is my personal choice... What about you? Who would you prefer to be Nigeria's next president?

Will this come to pass?

Will Osinbajo take over from Buhari

So I am 36 years and looking to settle down.
I have a lady friend who I have know for a while and is a really decent lady.
She is the type of person I would like to marry (I like conservative ladies and she is the conservative type no makeup which is what I want).
She is 32 years old.

A part of me feels it is better to wait for a while and try and get a younger "god fearing" lady.

To the men, what would you advise ?

I am kinda traditional and feel like a man should avoid marrying a lady in her 30s and also have a gap of atleast 7 years with the wife but I think I love her, I have been thinking about her lately.

Edited: A lot of people asking why I am not married at 36 years old, I was studying abroad, I just got back to naija to try and marry.

Is age the most important factor in marriage?

This is how men use their hands to drive away their wives and then settle for trouble. As long as she is a good lady as yu wrote then marry her. Some men are even younger than their wives and there is no big deal in that.

Excellent dancer, she can take up a side hustle in dancing for music videos.

Many folks might think or feel that this is life.
But I tell you Ladies and Gentlemen, this is no life!
This is Living in Bondage!
This is Living on the Broad way!
This is Living on the Path to Hell, Death and Destruction.

My PRECIOUS DADDY, Open the Eyes of the People to see What awaits those that live life outside Christ.

Stop living in bondage.

Nothing wrong with a beach party as long as you don't cross the line.

Greatzeus:
This is very brilliant and balanced.

Yeah. Thanks

Isn't this what you and Pansophist want or you've changed your mind to stay monogamous

I have never been a polygamous man while dating or married.

My position on polygamy does not reflect my personal life and I have reiterated this many times.

My view is a realistic and unbias one and I still maintain it.

Some men have stamina Sha.

E get some ladies you will get married to that you will not even have the strength to meet any other lady with the way they will drain you sexually.

I think most ladies that have philandering hubbies have less Affinity for sex cos if a lady gives her hubby enough sex in a very satisfying manner, it will be hard for him to meet another lady except he is a dog in a man's flesh.

Safyqueen:
The worst part is that osinbajo is the one in charge of economy.

OK lemme explain.

It is just a blanket office that he is holding. The economy of a country is propelled by government policies that emanates from his principal.

A VP is only as important as the president makes him to be and I believe that but for the sake of constitutional loyalty, Osinbajo will rather not take that appointment except he is given the power to revamp the entire policies and that power will be made available to him when he becomes the CEO of the nation.

Osibanjo doesn't attract the revulsion that Igbos have towards Tinubu.

Gbam

Devil1Messenger:
The last time I checked both were elected by the electorates. And he is the current head of this administration economy team. Ur mumu is double squared

Continue to wallow in your ignorance.

No need explaining Jack to you.

Devil1Messenger:
I'm living in Nigeria
I just bought a sachet water for N20. Thanks to osinbajo for handling the economy

lol is he your president? You are ignorant about how things work

Electrochemistry:
All I know, I will vote for any Igbo candidate that will contest if there's none then I will cast my vote for Osibanjo.

Ideally it is an igbo Person that should be the next president But the igbos are not united. Some are clamouring for secession and some are clamouring for the national cake.

This ones don collect money.

Devil1Messenger:
All this write up for someone that couldn't even handle the economy. Naso them tell us, osinbajo will handle the economy, osinbajo will handle the economy, until he made us world poverty headquarters. Na that rubbish u are proudly supporting. U be mumu

Are you sure you are living in Nigeria or Mars.

Tinubu we don't know but starboy we know.

Op be there thinking pornstars dislike their job. I asked a LovePeddler in Nigeria here if she would do porn for 100k she told me to link her up if I had the connect! Foreign pornstars make as high as 1k5 dollz per shoot, lol ur bankers here are struggling to make 70dollz per month

LOL! You have no idea. Everything is not about money... Some jobs be like bondage and until you start it, you won't understand.

You think every armed robber or yahoo boy are happy with what they do despite the money they make? This thing is deep.

Kabir5643:
Exactly

Thanks.

Lalasticlala will do the needful preferably latter in the evening.

Realchairmann:
This is kinda confusing to me. I've been married to my beloveth wife for 11 years and counting. God has blessed us with three kids of ten, four and a year old. We are having a wonderful Union and time of our lifes.

For sometime now, I've been nurturing the idea of relocating abroad. My wife has BSc and MSc in Microbiology but has been jobless since she concluded her NYSC the year we got married. I'm ready to sponsor her for PHD to any country of her choice to pave way for I and the kids to follow later.

However, she has turned me down whenever I brought up the issue. Her response is always tied around the bond we share and that she can't just leave her kids and travel abroad.

I have a good paying job but I really want her to explore her potentials too. She's a very good wife and an excellent mother but I'm confused why she's skeptical about leaving this Country.

Or am I the one taking too much risk?

Are you leaving your kids behind?

Vickyvice:
My son cant marry a second hand. Even second hand wife no go want her son to marry who don drop engine for another man before. Left to her, the son go wed a vagine

There is no second hand woman. Some baby mamas have more marital value than the ladies you see as fresh.

Aidejay:
That's the issue with this baby mama thing. The woman will go and marry and have kids with another man. So your child will be looking up to that one as their father then you will become second daddy if you add our father who art in heaven to it that is three daddy's.
Abeg! Make una stop this thing, or else by this time 2050, 50% of the entire population will be bastards.

That is not even the issue

It is the way they make the husband look foolish by always ascribing the lady to the celebrity...

Imagine the caption... Why not just call her by her name. Gosh!

I only give kudos to very hot Virgins and not just the type that men will ordinarily not get so attracted to.

Congrats on her academic performance.

nathyx:
Direct primary is expensive bla bla bla
Direct Primary is insecure bla bla bla
In my own opinion;
Nigeria itself is Expensive
Nigeria itself is Insecure
The Verdict - Give us Direct Direct Primary

Unfortunately Direct primaries have been bamboozled out and this is the possible outcome.

Osinbajo may not declare interest because he know he stands no chance against Tinubu in an indirect primaries.

Tinubu will buy the souls of the delegates that will vote in APC indirect primaries and emerge as APC flag bearer.

Another candidate will be imposed on PDP by the power brokers.

Nigerians will now be left once again with two terrible choices... Tinubu and most likely Atiku

Then we Will be forced to vote one out of the two terrible candidates and perpetually sending Nigeria backwards for another 8years.

With direct primaries Osinbajo might still stand the chance but not anymore.

SocialJustice:
Well, let's see how it works out. This method is doable.

Very doable bro but it is stark ignorance that is the problem... Everybody is talking about the closed type of Direct primaries where only registered members vote.

SocialJustice:
The voter register is still needed in what you have described. With what list do you recognise who has voted before and how do you stop them from voting elsewhere? Is it not a register that will be used or do you know another means?

And letting anyone appear at a party primary to vote is a recipe for disaster. A politician can go on the street and buy as many random votes as he needs to win.

Bringing in random voters that are not already party members is also bad because they don't even know other candidates contesting the primary, just the one that brought them to vote and better candidates can easily lose out to the person with financial muscle to bring in more people to vote.

Does INEC not have the registered voters list?

Jega's view was that INEC does not have Th party members register but that is not needed in an open direct primaries.

And I don't understand why people always bring the issue of vote buying as if it does not happen in general elections too.

The question is how many random people will you bribe nation wide?

Guy times have changed and people are not as foolish as they were.

People collect money these days and still vote for their choice.

DMerciful:
Most elections are rigged, you're talking of voting as though you're not aware of rigging.

Do you honestly believe Imo people voted for Hope Uzodinma?

Gosh! una no dey read before una comment?

Ofcourse electronic transmission of result will curb rigging so that aspect is take care of. Anyways it is a good thing that everyone agrees that direct primaries is the way forward even at the town hall meeting but they just want to move forward for now so they may be striking it out.

Of what use is electronic transmission of result if we will all be voting for one out of the imposed flag bearers.

If Tinubu wins through indirect primaries and Atiku wins please tell me what is the essence of electronic transmission in choosing either of these two terrible choices?

Open direct primaries is equally as important as electronic transmission if not more .

SocialJustice:
They were not against direct primary, time is the major issue here.

The most important thing in the bill is electronic transmission of results and only allowing accredited voters to vote. No more incident form. With these alone, next election will be the most credible election in Nigeria's history.

Also have you seen the cost of direct primary elections? We can not use $1bn to conduct election, Nigeria can not afford that and it will spiral into a big issue in future.

I agree with you but i also noticed that even Jega is ignorant of the type of direct primaries we have.

If INEC adopts open Direct primary, they don't need any party to submit the list of their registered members because in Open direct primaries, voters only need voters card and do not need to be a member of any party. They just have to vote once to select a flag bearer meaning if they vote in APC direct primaries, they will not be able to vote in PDP primaries but as i wrote, it is ignorance...all i read here is about CLOSED OPEN PRIMARIES

Cantonese:
Agreed with you absolutely. I think some on this platform just choose to talk without experience.

Godfatherism removed a very enterprising Governor Ambode and inserted the present man who the same people who voted for him have labeled “Pointus Pilate”. Ambode moved Lagos forward in great strides and they foolishly hung him on the tree of refuse and refusal to release money to the ward and state executives. In two years, has Lagos moved forward with the present leadership? NO. Go to pen cinema in the day and in the night and witness the transformation. He was abused, but today the people enjoy it.

Money plays a huge role in party politics at the ward level. Everyone needs money from the ward chairman to the canvassers. They all accept money from all candidates within the same party with promises to vote for them. The system gets corrupted within the wards are their hands are soiled with gifts and bribes. The positions therefore are hijacked by the highest bidders. The so called ward party members dance to the tune of the money bags, so there is a big problem with money within the wards.

The challenge we have is that intellectuals are not involved with politics at the wards levels. They are hindered at the wards as there is a great demand for bribes at the wards. If you get to the wards, you will find mostly area boys and people who largely hang around with no visible means of livelihood as card carrying members. They are the card carrying party members, who sit down waiting for crumbs and instructions from “oga”. Intellectuals wait for professional politicians to secure power and invite them into positions. That way our nation will remain where it is.

Most of the youths on Nairaland are not card carrying members of any political party. All they do is get voters card, come on Nairaland to shout and abuse everyone. You need to be politically involved in the wards, get your own membership card.

Direct primaries are the best, but will never be allowed to work by the godfathers. When they say it is costlier logistically, it is just sentimental. Most people live within their wards. On Election day they can move easily to the designated location. For the politicians, they are scared that there would be a greater amount of people to be given bribes and cash to vote for them.

Direct primaries would give the contestant an idea of what to expect on election day. He knows that so so amount of card carrying members voted for him and he expects a turn out of close to that figure, if not all. All he needs is their transportation and feeding, unlike the Anambra case where the man was deceived.

They need to update their registers. Registers are never at the secretariat but in the homes of chairman. For them updating means imputing new names and not checking those lost.

With direct primaries politicians would be forced to engage the citizens more, telling them the importance of belonging to political parties and their rights.

The problem remains that whatever the system is, direct or indirect, godfathers are there to destroy the system. We must get to the stage where political godfathers are dealt a final blow, paving the way for youthful great minds to get involved in the political system from the wards to make elections more attractive and governance better.

You made valid points.

But I noticed that many people are ignorant of the term. OPEN DIRECT PRIMARIES.. I took time out to explain it but many still missed it.

Anyways let's just hope and pray for the best.

This thread!

Nah wah o.. I don create threads tire.
