Hi,
Please how much does international passports cost in rivers state? If you have done it recently in other state, how much did you obtain it? I visited the immigration office and the way they were talking I just don't trust them, one said 28k, the other said 32k and 64k for the one meant for frequent travelers.

Something like this I think shouldn't be price like egusi and garri, don't you think so? It should have a fixed price!!!!

Delphi:
How dare you equate football support to your desire for further academic pursuit. This is disappointing! I know that you once supported Enyimba FC, kindly attend Enyimba University.

Lol. If u are my dad I am sure I would have received some strokes of cain. Thanks for your time.

ernecy:
Bros, being a Liverpool fan won't but food on the table. Use ur tongue take count ur teeth. I don talk finish,

That's very true. Thanks

Hi, I am planning on either going to the UK or US for a master degree program in mechanical engineering. My first choice is to go to the US because I believe it's more tolerant than the uk, the economy present more opportunities in my field of study, while on the other hand, my heart is in Liverpool university, I want the school because I am a Liverpool fc fan.
Please from your own point of view what's your own choice?

Hi OP, i love your story, be it true or fiction you are awesome, you kept it simple no big word. Should you ever choose to be an author i would like to read your books, only game of thrones was able to hook my attention the was you did for three days. Thanks for your time.

Twenty-five prisoners in Anambra State on Thursday regained freedom following
the amnesty granted to them by the state governor, Willie Obiano, to mark the
55th anniversary of the country’s independence.
Obiano also announced a lifeline of N1m to each of them.
The beneficiaries of the governor’s amnesty were from Awka, Onitsha and Aguata
prisons.
Those from Awka prisons were Obumneme Okafor, Chibike Nwogwu, Daniel
Philemon, Ude Chidiebere, and Innocent Okeke.
Okeke was sentenced to death, but was later commuted to life imprisonment
before he was finally freed on Thursday by the governor in the exercise of his
constitutional powers of prerogative of mercy.
In Aguata prisons, the six inmates, who benefited from the gesture included
Chinedu Onyebuchi, Okwudili Offor, Emmanuel Enemchukwu, Nwafor Reuben,
Camilus Ikensor and Cyril Ogufuba.
The list of 14 others from Onitsha prison was not published at the time of going
to press on Friday.
The state governor, who noted in his Independence Anniversary speech that he
saw hope in Nigeria, said he had to release the inmates in the spirit of the
moment.
He said, “Brothers and sisters, I see hope for Anambra State. I see hope for
Nigeria. It is along this line that I have decided to give hope to the hopeless
amongst us by exercising my powers of prerogative of mercy and granting
amnesty to 25 prisoners serving different terms in the three prisons in Anambra
State.”
Obiano also said government would give the 25 beneficiaries of the amnesty
training in the state vocational skill acquisition centre after which they would be
given N1m as a lifeline to enable them become self-employed and contribute to
the society.
Earlier, the Attorney General of the state, Mr. Chude Nnadi, said the inmates
were qualified for the amnesty because some of them had only three months left
in prison.

post like this only causes people to be insecure, and it is strictly based on assumption! base on my experience using gtbank as an example, with card serial no, expiry date, and other informations there is no way any amount can be take from ur account without the digit number generated by ur token.

I once placed an order on alibaba.com for some wrist watches, after paying, for the watches and shipping, they were even unable to withdraw the money because the goods was not sent to me. after reporting the case to gtbank my money was released to me.

@op stop scaring people, all through my school in unilorin, my school fees were all paid using master card, it always request for ur pin.

To cut expenses now most companies no longer take permanent worker.

After more than two decades as a psychotherapist specializing in humansexualityand intimacy, I’ve heard just about every excuse imaginable related toinfidelity, especially from the men I have seen. Whatever they’re doing that violates the boundaries of theirmarriage, those who cheat will convince themselves that they’re not doing anything wrong, that they’re not hurting anyone, and that anybody who thinks their behavior is a problem should just back off. When caught, these men will most often defend their actions with statements like:

*.What’s the harm inflirting? If I’m not taking these women to bed, I’mnot cheating.
*.If my wife isn’t giving me what I want sexually, it’s OK for me to chase other women.
*.I’m only looking at porn. That’s not sex. So I’m not cheating.
*.Yes, I’m on Ashley Madison, but I only send texts and swap photos. That’s no different than looking at porn, so I’m not cheating.
*.It’s just a webcam! I’ll never actually meet these other women, let alone touch them or have sex with them, so there’s no way this ischeating.
*.When I’m out of town on business, all bets are off. Sex in another state doesn’t count as cheating
.*.MouthAction isn’t really sex, so what I did doesn’t count as cheating.



*.If I’m not inlovewith the other woman, it’s no different than masturbating. And every guy masturbates, regardless of whether he’s married.To be perfectly honest, the most difficult part of working with a philandering husband can be gettinghim to understand and accept that he did in fact cheat, and that even if he doesn’t see it that way, his wife does, and that’s what really matters if he wants to stay married. Essentially, rather than accepting blame for ruining the trust in their marriage, these men minimize, justify, rationalize, and place blame. In thetherapybiz, we call this sort ofbehavior “denial.”Denial, in this context, is a series of internal lies, with each lie supported by other lies, and those lies supported by still more lies, and so on. To an outside observer, a cheater’s many excuses hold water approximately as well as a leaky sieve. Nevertheless, cheating husbands typically think their logic isflawless. And their willful ignorance can go on for years – usually until the infidelity is discovered and sometimes even past that. Consider,for instance, the infamous statement: I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Those words were uttered, in utmost sincerity, by William Jefferson Clinton, a sitting president who somehow convinced himself that oral intercourse didn’t count as actual sex. And Slick Willy is hardly the only man who’s tried to justify his philandering in this injudicious way.Denial: The FavoritesA 21st century version of the aforementioned “I did not put my penis in her vagina” excuse crops up with digital infidelity. Basically, guys go online and look at porn, or play virtual reality sex games, or flirt and sext and maybe even mutuallymasturbatevia webcam, and then, because they haven’t hooked up with anyone in-the-flesh, they convince themselves that they’ve been completely, totally, and delightfully faithful to their wives. They think that because their behavior took place in the virtual rather than the real world, it’s not really cheating.Another popular excuse centers on the belief that as a man it is a biological imperative/right to spreadone’s seed as widely as possible. Themen who use this justification seem to think that if their particulargenepool is cut off, the humanracewill shrivel up and die out. These are the same guys who tend to argue that if they weren’t “emotionally attached” or “in love” with the other woman, then it wasn’t cheating. Essentially, they place their cheating behaviors on the same level as masturbating – no more, no less. Another major form of denial, and this one is used by almost every guy who cheats, is based on the following lie: “What my wife doesn’t know about can’t possibly hurt her.” This, of course, is total BS. In reality, even when a betrayed wife doesn’t officially know that she’s been cheated on, she is almost certainly aware of the emotional (and maybe physical) distancing in the marriage. In other words, the husband pulls away as part of his attempt to keep his behavior secret, and the wife recognizes this fact. Sometimes the betrayed wife, not fullyunderstandingwhat is going on, will internalize blame for this, wonderingwhat it is that she did to cause this rift. If there are kids, they too will notice this distancing, and they will wonder, either secretly or aloud, whytheir father is not as available as he used to be. Sadly, kids are even morelikely than wives to think that this is somehow their fault.Do You Still Think You’re Not Cheating?Whatever forms of denial that cheating husbands are using, if they cling to the idea that they’ve done nothing wrong, I typically ask them to answer the following question: “If your activity does not count as cheating, they why have you been hiding it from your wife?Of course, most guys have a pat answer for this. “I don’t want to cause her any pain.” This, of course, is a backdoor admission that they know that if their wife finds out, trouble will ensue. So when I hear this excuse I gently point this fact out to them, and then I mention thattheir secret keeping, rather than protecting their wives, might be designed to protect themselves and their illicit behavior.If and when cheating men are particularly determined to believe their own denial on this particular point, no matter how ridiculous theirlies sound to an impartial observer (me, for instance), I suggest that maybe they’re right. Maybe what they’ve been doing isn’t cheating, and isn’t a problem. Then I suggest that to find out for sure they should simply tell their wife about whatever it is they’ve been doing, holding nothing back, and if she doesn’t have a problem with it, then they cancontinue their behaviors with a cleanconscience.Unsurprisingly, nobody takes me up on this. And why would they? I mean,if these men were in a relationship inwhich they thought their secretive behaviors would be OK with their wife, then they wouldn’t be sneaking around in the first place. They would be out in the open right from the start.Infidelity: What Is It Really?Once upon a time, before this crazy Internet thing came along, defining sexual infidelity was pretty easy. If a guy was having sex outside of his supposedly monogamous relationship, he was cheating. Sometimes therapists had to explainthat yes, MouthAction still counts as sex (See: Clinton, Bill), as do hand-jobs, heavy petting, and even just a little bit of kissing. But in general men who were stepping out on their wives knew exactly what they were doing. And when their wives found out, they nearly always knew for certain that they’d been cheated on.However, as alluded to earlier, digitaltechnologies have mucked this up. The once-clear line between monogamy and cheating has gone a bit fuzzy. Is chatting with your ex-girlfriend on social media cheating? Does the content of thosechats matter? Are you cheating if you set up a profile on an infidelity hookup app like Ashley Madison, even if you never do more than look around? Is masturbating to onlinepornographya form of cheating? What about masturbating to a live person at the other end of a webcam? Etc.A few years ago, in an attempt to provide clarity in regard to digital age sexuality and its place in the cheating spectrum,Dr. Jennifer Schneider, Dr. Charles Samenow, andI conducted a surveyof women whose husbands were engaging in significant amounts of extramarital sexual activity, either online or in thereal world. The most interesting and important finding of our study was that when it comes to the negative effects of sex outside a supposedly monogamous relationship, tech-based and real world sexual activities are no different. To the betrayed wife, thelying, the emotional distancing, and the pain of learning about the betrayal feel exactly the same regardless of venue.The results of this study confirmed what I’ve said and written about infidelity for many years – that it’s not any specific sexual act that doesthe most damage to the betrayed partner and the relationship; instead, it’s the constant lying, the emotional distancing, and the loss ofrelationship trust. In fact, for most betrayed wives the emotional betrayal associated with sexual infidelity is more painful and longer-lasting than the physical betrayal. Based on this knowledge, I have formulated the following digital-age definition of cheating:Infidelity is the breaking of trust thatoccurs when sexual and/or romantic secrets are deliberately kept from one’s spouse.One of the reasons I like this definition is that it encompasses both online and in-the-flesh sexual activity, as well as sexual and romantic activities that stop short of penis-into-vagina. Furthermore, the definition is flexible depending on the couple. In other words, it allows you and your wife to define your own version of sexual fidelity based on honest discussions and mutualdecision making. This meansthat it may be acceptable for you to look at porn (or to engage in some other form of extramarital sexual activity) so long as your wife knows about this behavior and is OK with it.On the other hand, if you are lookingat porn (or whatever) and keeping this a secret, or your wife knows about it but doesn’t find this behavior acceptable within the mutually agreed upon boundaries of your relationship, then you’re cheating.So, are you deliberately keeping sexual or romantic secrets from yourwife? If so, you are cheating. Period. End of discussion. And if you are not keeping sexual or romantic secrets from your wife, then you’re OK, as long as you’re not violating you and your wife’s mutually agreed upon relationship boundaries.

my happened when I was 9, I was about sleeping when she sent her siblings away,

while sleeping I was feeling some touch, so I opened my eyes n saw her naked beside me.

she asked me to insert my tin inside her tin, and she thought me how to do it, but unfortunately my tin was not big enough so, she asked me to suck her breast, while she was touching my tin in the process. The following day I told my best friend (f. male) and we repeated what happened, since then the only thing that interest me in f. male is the breast.

oyizaoyiza:
hello my fellow nairalanders,

My name is oyiza, I am from kogi state in nigeria, An event happened to me in the course of growing up as a child that is still ever fresh in my memory and something similar is happening in my marriage presently.

My dad was from kogi state kabba precisely, My mum is from idoma but she lived in lagos and understands yoruba to a fault. My mum is a primary school teacher, My dad was a civil servant in one of the ministries in lagos then.

As a young teenager i knew that my uncles and my aunties where always coming to our house to resolve issues between my dad and my mum ,My father was the one always telling his siblings about how USELESS and disobidient my mother was.

Eventually the issue of my dad letting his families into there marriage became a very BIG ISSUE as every one tagged my mother as the BAD WIFE.

It was a tug of war that lasted for years,Eventually my dad sisters came to our house and threw my mum loads out of the house.

My mum pleaded to come back into the suffering as my mum was always been beating in our presence frequently by my dad.

My mum left and my dads relative had oppurtunity to take over all what my dad and mum had built over the years. Eventually my dad became responsible for the payment of his siblings children school bill at the detriment of his childrens education.

*Me and my folks had to pick up sales girl and sales boy job to further our education with support from the tiny salary mummy was getting.

His business that was booming went into demurage ,he started begging from hand to mouth his sisters and brother abandonded him for that period,i was almost graduadting from school when this strange ailment came upon him, we took him from different hospital to another, Doctors took different tests but nothing was found in his body, we took him to three different churches and we were told that its a spiritual attack that was placed on him by one of his family members that asked for money from him but he didn't give.Fast

forwarded my Dad died 2months to my wedding day. My dad and mum had the best of marriage but trouble started when my dad was always labelling my mum as Evil to his siblings.The most painful thing is that all they laboured for got wiped away in there very eyes as my mum dare not talk where my aunties and uncles are simply because of the way my dad had spoken of her in there presence.

Hence i need help, I have been married for just 3yrs ,we have fought in our marriage but my husband had reported me to his friends and parents more than 3 times his friends call me to now find out what transpired between us.To me i feel so ridiculed as i sincerely hate people putting there mouth in my home affairs, except COUNSELLORS if need should be.

My husband had beaten me before without mentioning it to a single soul. But if its him he wont hesitate to feed his friend and siblings,The first time it happened we talked about it but it happened again 5 days ago,I love my Husband But i dont TRUST HIM AGAIN.I

felt Betrayed by my husband,i dont want what happened to my dad and mum to happen to me as this was the exact way there issues started way back then before it eventually resulted in divorce and then my father died mysteriously just two months to my day of joy.

Please no insult, Advise on how to resolve this is all i need.

*Note that i have been praying too*.constructive ideas,What are the consequences of Bringing Third parties into marriages, please share your experiences.

madam I am not married yet but I am reading some books on it, I think one of things u should do is to try and understand ur husband very well, u know him more than me. ask yourself this question.
1. why is he behaving this way?
2. does he feels that I am not given him the repect he deserves?
3. was he abused as child or did he grow up watching his father abusing the mother?

instead of saying hubby I want us to talk, because this will make him to be on the defensive side, u can say HUBBY I WANT TO LISTEN TO U ON HOW I CAN BE A BETTER WIFE, this will only make him to say his mind and tru that u can understand him better. I will advise u to read books on temperament cause it will make u to understand ur own weakness as well as ur own strength and that of ur husband too.
Don't worry everything is going to get better, try not to focus on the negative but the positive. every family have one thing or the other that they are not proud of.

never did any of those..right from day 1,I believed that d God I serve has rendered me immune
wow, really? you have a lion heart.

it was in this period that I got to know that the rich are more scared of death and in truth no one wants to die. these are my experiences
1. my friend got a text from the mum, and all of a sudden he started drinking and bathing with salt, the funny part is everyone in the building started doing that. I heard that even medical workers did that in other places.
2. the day I traveled from ilorin to port Harcourt, when I got home no one hug nor shook my hand, the only welcome party was the sanitizer, and detol soap handed to me to go and wash myself.
3. before you go into someone home the first thing you see at the door is sanitizer.
4. in the church when asked to shake hand some people act like deaf and dumb people and if some did shook hands they reach out to their bags and sanitize immediately, especially ladies.
5. I started seeing almost everyone as a carrier, so I refuse to hug and shake hands.
6. Any destination that compels me to board a public transport was never part of schedule.
These are my experiences share yours, and what others did that was funny.
Note: I know people lost their live to this disease, and I am not trying to make fun of them or their families. RIP to the dead.

I hate thieves. Just like my friends roomie back in da day,this one was a kleptomaniac. She could steal anything ranging from panties ,to phone case,to face powder to someone else's recommended contact lenses.

Iamfrank:
Please, I need mature advice only

My cousin have been dating his girl friend since secondary school, he is now graduated and have a good job.....

But the problem is, he has slept with this girl like a thousand times and doesn't even enjoy her in bed any longer. He said he has enjoyed all marital privileges with her and now he is scared of getting married to a girl he doesn't have sexual pleasure with.

He is really confused right now as he doesn't know wat to do because he loves her.

Please, mature advice is needed.

stop saying he loves her he was only using her, after sucking every part of her he is now looking for fresh juicy fruit. But I don't blame him since he did not rape her it was her choice to let him in and out of the treasury.
