My wife has taken my April Fool joke very seriously. I decided to pull a prank on her today, and it's almost going out of hand.

It was in the morning, and I knew she wasnt yet aware that it was April Fool's Day. So I told her that I had a confession to make to her and it has been eating me up. I told her that I have a child outside our marriage. That I have a son who's around 12yrs now. That I had the child before I met her, but I couldn't tell her because I didn't want to lose her.

She was speechless but I could tell she was shaken. She searched my eyes to know if I was joking, but I maintained my seriousness. She calmy started asking me questions to know whether I was being real, but I was already prepared for any question. By the time she was through interrogating me, she has already broken down in tears.

I continued with the joke, and I told her to please forgive me for not telling her all this while. She believed everything I said and by the time I told her it was April Fool's joke, it was too late. She was inconsolable, and she told me it wasn't a joke, cos she knew I was telling her the truth. She said she had always had the feeling that I had a child cos she saw it in her dream before we got married.

To cut it short, right now she's mad at me...and she has threatened to leave with my 6 months old daughter and abandon our 3 yr-old marriage. She has already called her mum and sister and narrated the whole thing.

So, guys plz I need una help right now. My own April Fool prank has gone all wrong. What can I do?

for all the pranks in this world that was the one you went for! I PUT IT TO YOU THAT YOU'RE INSENSITIVE AND YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING COMING YOUR WAY. Your wife obviously cares about you to react that way.

The previous
Story was an April Fool the real story is below okMeanwhile, after years of prolonged controversies from its failure to respect and enforce the terms in the ‘ring-fencing’ agreement it reached in 2005 with Geometrics Aba Power Plant for distribution of electricity generated from the plant to Aba and Ariaria metropolis in Abia State, the federal government has finally retraced its steps.

Government is now negotiating a settlement between parties in the dispute, Geometrics Aba Power and Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (Disco).

Fashola, said yesterday in Abuja when both parties in the dispute put pen to papers to formalise the agreements they reached after their reported six months long out-of-court negotiation, that commonsense had finally prevailed against the long periods of contest for rights.

In 2005, the government reportedly concessioned Aba and Araiaria as the only security for Geometric to invest in the independent power project instead of the normal sovereign guarantee.

The same government however abandoned the concession agreement when in 2013 it unbundled from defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) Enugu Disco and sold it including the concessioned units to Interstates Electrics, this subsequently sparked up the dispute.

Fashola explained at the meeting that the new development was momentous for Nigeria’s power sector. He described the decision of both parties to settle the dispute which was foisted on them by government’s decision as a win-win for the people of Aba and Nigeria.


According to him, the negotiation was first brokered by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who then handed it over to the ministry of power to continue with.

He said apart from parties in the dispute, several individuals including former military Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar and Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr. Louis Edozien played key roles in the negotiation and final outcome


Fashola stated that with the formalisation of the negotiated agreement, the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) and Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) would now be asked to amend the licences of both Geometrics and Enugu Disco to reflect the agreements that were reached.
THISDAY however learnt that parts of what was reached by both parties included Geometrics getting back the ring-fenced units, as well as Enugu Disco buying the excess power that would be generated by the gas-fired plant.

Former Minister of Power, Prof. Bart Nnaji and founder and former chairman of Diamond Bank, Mr. Pascal Dozie, led the team that signed the agreement on behalf of Geometrics, while former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, led that of Enugu Disco.

Fashola however said: “Commonsense will make more meaning to the people of Aba, it will make more meaning to the traders in Ariaria, it will make more meaning to our goal to produce more made in Nigeria goods because I know what is possible in that place. I used to shop there, I used to do business there and I know they make suites, they make good shoes and so they need power. That is commonsense and that is what you have achieved today.”

He further noted that: “Commonsense is also the realisation now that the electricity market is just beginning and many things will happen because there are many things that can happen that we have not even began. What has happened today is to show that within one Disco, there can be two players and that is a ground breaking event today. There are many more blessing and more hopefully.”

According to him: “With this now, investments of over $500 million can come in there (Aba and Ariaria) and feel safe, they can expect to see power delivered within a few months down the line. More importantly, you will see peace more than victory and I think this is the way to go.”

“I think these are some of the silver linings that we can see from our energy crisis. The power coming from Aba is defining because we do not have enough now,” he added.

In his remarks, Kayode said: “We thank you for your personal and official interest in resolving this intractable dispute between Interstate Electrics, owners of the Enugu Disco and Geometrics over Aba and Ariaria.

“I want to make it very clear that it has always been the intention on our side in EEDC to resolve this matter. It is just that we went to court but then we thought that it would make common sense to sit together with the support of government to resolve all issues between us.”

He further explained: “We have also laid the foundation for future partnerships because as soon as power begins to come out of the plant, we will take it for our own part of Enugu Disco and other parts of Nigeria.

“With the agreement we have signed, we are now positioned properly to deliver more power to the people of the east and the added advantage is that it has given the EEDC a charge to put on its thinking cap and expand its business opportunities in the east.”

Nnaji on his part noted that the parties eventually realised that it was better to sit and negotiate a resolution to the controversy than continuing with the court sessions. He added that the vice president had in his first meeting with them stated that he wanted the parties to adopt a different approach to resolving the issue.

“Today to us is historic in the sense that a sector that is supposed to be largely private sector driven has seen its major crisis resolved and it is wonderful that it is being resolved by the effort of the minister and this administration, and we thank you very much for the effort you have put to see this happen,” he said.

According to him: “Everybody had recognised that it was a mistake. We all went fighting in the court but sometimes even when you win in courts, you still have to find peace and that is what we have done here, we have achieved peace and we have achieved progress.”

LET US WORK TOGETHER, NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN.

postmann:
A contentious woman is a sand in the mill.
She lacks grace and style
A pack of grudge and unresolved bitterness plague her
Her home is a heap of mess
Her husband prefers the cold hands of a stranger to hers

She's incorrigible; until she takes her husband down, her soul knows no let up
Never be jealous of her if she's outwardly beautiful
She's only a painted mud house
Her foundation is shallow
Watch her wrinkle away in anger
As she perishes under the weight of her own misery

you made me remember my ex. Never knew I would enjoy being single.

Gkemz:
Stop bringing tribal sentiments to issues like this. Perhaps the criteria was based on acting skills and ability to move your audience not just being a yoruba or sexiest actor.

If it was based on what you stated above then she deserves to be on the cover. She's a great actress and a fashionista. On a second thought everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Happy married life. Ki ade pe lori, ki bata pe lese.

Joygalore:
God bless you for this piece.

She has to face the law.She isn't remorseful at all.

Making public appearances like,"nothing dey happen" but now "something must happen"

that's the most annoying part, she even got drunk again at the AMVCA. SHE' S NOT JUST TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS.

The hypocrisy in Nigeria will not end. Wasn't it president
Buhari who couldn't pay the 27m naira presidential ticket fee
that is saying his children study abroad because he can
afford it?

Now he is blaming Mtn for his own incompetence.

shior......This Government is full of lies and hypocrisy

these events occurred before he became president for crying out loud. When will you learn to learn to look at issues objectively.

Booyakasha:
I disagree with the Introvert part.. I'm dating an introverted guy.. Apart from the fact that introverts can be extreme loners, practical people with inability to express theirselves and they get the phobia of kissing and hugging or even holding hands in public, here are some reasons to be with an introvert guy.. they're amazing!!

Great listeners. My boyfriend helps me a lot by just listening to me. You know when you want some one to just hear you out and only advice when asked for, Introverts are ever ready for that.
Very Intelligent. Very clichéd sentence but trust me they are intelligent. My Man solves the rubiks cube in under 2 mins. That's crazy.

No nonsense. They are the ones you can have the most meaningful conversations with, not garbage talks.
They guide you very well. Some how they see you just the way you are, and yet love you because it's beyond looks for them. They don't get blinded by love, and yet For them love means everything and they give it their all.

Not Fake. They do not pretend to like you. They either just like you or don't and will tell you straight

Love Ain't A Game . They don't fall in love easily, but They fall hard. For them love isn't a game, their Hearts are at Stake. If they tell you they love you, you better not break their heart.

Calm by nature. Would women want to be with a man who gets violent, abuses, puts her down, yells at her or with A Man who treats her like a princess, will be faithful and treat her with respect all her life. I'm sure you will choose the latter i.e The Introverted man. They can never get violent it's just not in their nature to fight, and usually are respectful towards everyone in general.

Give you space. Space is must in a relationship and introverts know how to give you that.

Hot in Bed. They are good love makers (I can only speak on the behalf of my bf). Boy they are passionate!!

Stand by you. Is anything in this world worth more than some one actually standing by you through the toughest times? Introverts who are in love with you, won't back down when your in trouble, or back off because some one else says so. They fight hard to protect their loved ones.

Won't “use" you. Introverted men never woo women as a game. They are genuinely attracted to her and want to get to know her on deeper level. Yes sex is on their mind too but they will never cross their boundaries with you. Introverted women find it hard to fall for some one and when they do it's usually for life.

Honesty. Yes they are brutally honest, they will criticize you, not to hurt you but, because they really care about you . Yet they will be the first ones to come Cheer you up, Motivate you when you feel down and like a total failure.

Best friends. They are the bestest friends you can ever find. Trust me.

Loyalty. Being faithful comes to them naturally. Since they are introverted, they do not have many friends or easily make new connections. This means they do not find it hard to stay loyal and committed when in a serious relationship.

Some introverts i know here on NL: Teempakguy

love this

TonyeBarcanista:
Is it not funny that a member of FEC when GEJ was in government, Samuel Orthom is now an APC Governor of Benue state? Is Orthom incorruptible?

What about Kawu Baraje, a Chairman of Nigeria Railway Corporation in most part of GEJ era that led nPDP to APC? Is he absolved?

What about the light rail fraud of Fashola and Amaechi in Lagos and Rivers respectively? Are they clean?


On the subject, the investigators/prosecutors should do their work and go to court BUT APC shouldn't seek to score cheap point with this. Beside, the Transport minister under GEJ and NRA are to respond.

If there is any fraud, it was perpetrated by APC Chieftains Samuel Orthom(Member of FEC under GEJ) and Kawu Baraje(NRC Chairman under GEJ), as well as some PDP members and former members including Bamangar Tukur

Oga please no sermon, all I see is you trying to defend certain interests. Every one found culpable should be dealt with.

That's how you end up when you marry because Chidimma, Kemi and Umi are already married.

You rush in, you rush the hell out. Now whats the difference btw you and a mistress or babymama??

Also men would not stop being untrue to themselves. They get married to a "public" or people's kind of woman, all in a bid to show class. They turn a blind eye to all the beautiful decent and wifey materials around just because they dont fit in to our mainstream beauty. What happens to promoting women that have real class, real beauty, character as desirables?

Anyway swallow what karma has brought for you. Your reward for being silly.

May God continue to bless you for this comment. If you allow people to push you into bondage, you're in for it.

adeaks:
The problem is that the supreme court declared the Oguebego Executive as the authentic executive but did not say anything on the election of the people tendered by the fake executive who contested and won the elections. People have only been reading their own implications into the judgment.

Inec CANNOT withdraw the certificate given to oduah and co without an express court order directing them to do so.

The Oguebego case was a pre-election matter dealing with in-house primaries. It had nothing to do with the election itself that brought in Stella oduah and co which can only be heard by an election tribunal.

The Suit filed by Awomolo and Co is for the supreme court to direct on which way to proceed. It would bring a final end to all the confusion we have currently. Justice kolawole's order is for INEC to wait until the supreme court gives a judgment one way or another in the current suit.

People will just berate the judge without understanding the issues. Justice kolawole is not a rookie judge not to have considered all the ramificatons of granting the injunction. And finally, he definitely didn't overrule the supreme court. The person who wrote the title is just being mischievous.

Thank you for this clarification, ON THE OTHER HAND I THINK IT'S TIME WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE KIDS THAT RUSH TO COMMENT WITHOUT READING THE POST.
