RomanceMarry Me This Year Or I Quit by victorlake(op): 7:47am On Jan 05, 2020
Good morning to you all, have an issue that has been disturbing me for some days now. I happened to work in a reputable organization, sometime in 2018, I lost my job and I decided to go into business but lost everything in that business because I was duped, since then life has not been easy. Have searched for jobs since then till now and nothing seems to be happening. just two days back, my supposed fiance who has been so supportive called and told me that she's giving me this year that if nothing good happen and I get married to her, that she's quitting the relationship. the big question is if she really loves me and want to spend the rest of her life with me, will she give me a deadline?

Stay strong mate.

last year March I invested my life saving in a cocoa business but fell into a wrong hands,I lost everything.
You won't be the first nor the last to make poor business decisions, I've been there too but that's life for you. Its not a linear graph, you will go through a lot of local minima, and it doesn't mean you should unpack and sleep their. You have to move on mate. See the red patches in the graph below.

my house rent expired and I could not renew it, I had to pack out and presently am squatting with a sister.
Yes this is a ripple effect from your earlier point, and come to think of it, some people have it worse as they have noone to stay with.

my friends have all deserted me, nobody calls again
Sorry mate, they were not really friends. You'll realise who's really there for you when you're at your worst.

and the painful of all is that I lost my dad two months back. is as if whole world has crumble. so many times have thought of taking my life

If you're contemplating why should stay alive, consider why you put up this thread in the first place. My friend, the world needs you, and there's so much difference you can make with your special abilities and unique talents. You don't want to leave the surface of this earth without fulfilling your 'why' and you still have the opportunity to do so. You see that dash they put on tombstones ( in between the birth and death dates), some people make that dash meaningless, because they only came to occupy space and they died with all their potential.
This thread is a sign from God that He's not done with you yet.
Hmmm, thanks brother

SportsAnthony Joshua Admits Not Asking About Rematch Clause by victorlake(op): 3:24pm On Jun 02, 2019
On the occasion of his US debut and despite being the
significant favourite against an opponent who had been given
little more than a month's notice and had lost his only
previous world title fight, Joshua suffered four knockdowns in
what became a one-sided upset.
He was eventually rescued in the seventh round by referee
Mike Griffin when, after returning to his feet for the fourth time
- the two knockdowns in the seventh followed two similarly
hurtful ones in the third, which came after Ruiz Jr's only
knockdown - he was no longer able to defend himself.
The 29-year-old had established himself as the world's
leading heavyweight by so memorably retiring Wladimir
Klitschko in 2017, but so unexpected a defeat has damaged
his reputation, contributing to his desire for a rematch in the
winter.
'Look out for the end of the year, and what's next,' said
Joshua, like Ruiz Jnr aged 29.
'It's an upset, it's unexpected. I was the favourite. One shot hit
me on the top of the dome and rattled me a bit. I tried to stay
in there a few more rounds but the better man won.
'I don't underestimate anyone. He's a decent puncher, a
decent fighter. He was the better man.
'I'll tidy up, brush off the cobwebs and go again. But it's a
minor setback.
'Trust me, where I was at in life, I've dealt with more s*** than
this, with some real big losses, and bounced back.'If I was to look at my setbacks back then then I would have
been f*****. I didn't. I kept my head strong, fought like a
champion, and bounced back.
'I didn't even ask about a rematch clause because I was so
confident I was going to win. If it's there, we'll go again and I'll
get the titles back. I'm going to beat him up.
'I'm not dwelling on it. You just correct it, you adjust, you sit
down, you focus and you go again.'
Joshua also revealed that he had also already spoken to his
mother Yeta Odusanya, and his father Robert, who had given
him some advice.
'My dad's upset, which is a natural reaction; my mum's cool,
she doesn't come to the boxing and separates it,' he said.
'Everyone's in good spirits; losing isn't a good night but it's
something we can learn from.'My dad said "Tighten up and get smart; when things are
going good nothing's going wrong, then something bad
happens, you realise".'
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn, who had previously secured
the now-suspended Jarrell Miller as his opponent, also
revealed that the UK is the likeliest venue for the rematch that
can be expected to follow.
'We didn't know what was coming next, in November,
December, now we do,' he said. 'But there's a lot of pressure
on that fight; the rematch is huge.
'For me, it should be the UK, but we'll sit down as a team and
look at everything.
'I know it didn't go our way but we said we wanted to create a
night that people would remember for a long time;
unfortunately they'll remember it for a shock defeat and an
incredible night of boxing.
'But that's okay; revenge will be sweet and I believe he'll get
it.'

EducationSouth African Universities To Offer Bsc Witchcraft by victorlake(op): 4:06pm On Sep 19, 2016
South African Universities to offer Bsc Witchcraft

The South African Minister of Higher Education and Training, Blade Nzimande has announced plans to have witchcraft included in the curriculum from 2018.

Speaking to representatives from student unions around the country, the minister announced the shocking move and urged future university entrees to consider taking Witchcraft. “There is a lot we can learn from witchcraft, like how they fly in that winnowing basket. Imagine if we learn that skill. It will eradicate traffic jams and everyone will just get in their basket and fly. It also means we will not be importing fuel anymore.” Blade said.

The announcement was met with boos and bottle throws from the packed auditorium who had gone to the meeting hoping the minister would announce a 0% fee increase for the coming year. The unperturbed minister also invited renowned witches to make an appointment with his office so they can have their skills tested and those outstanding would then be hired as lecturers.

He also invited witches from across the border, promising them permanent residents permits. “I spoke to Gibs (Minister of Home affairs Malusi Gigaba) and he agreed to issue witches from outside South Africa with permanent residence permits. I heard Malawi and Zimbabwe have an impressive collection of witches. We are hoping they will heed the call”, he added.





Applications is said to be closing on the 30th of September at midnight, after which an appointed panel with conduct interviews. There currently is an opening for 109 witches.

PoliticsUS To Return Abacha Loot As Nigerian Lawyer Asking For $320m Dismissed by victorlake(op): 6:14pm On Sep 18, 2016
– The United States has dismissed a suit by
Godson Nnaka asking for $550 million of the
Abacha loot
– The US-based Nigerian lawyer had argued
that he was entitled to the share of the
money after the Nigerian government had
recruited him to get the money
– The court ruled that the lawyer was not
entitled to the money has his temporary
letter was not renewed
The US is set to repatriate over $550 million
of stolen funds during the regime of late
General Sani Abacha after a case instigated
by a Nigerian lawyer was dismissed.
Vanguard reports that a US-based Nigerian
lawyer, Godson Nnaka, had requested for
$320 million from the Abacha loot from
Nigeria.
Justice John D. Bates of the U.S District
Court had dismissed Nnaka’s claim and
insisted that he was not a party to the
forfeiture case filed by the US Department of
Justice in conjunction with Nigeria.
The office of the Attorney General of the
Federation had filed an opposition to Nnaka’s
motion for the payment and asked the court
to bar him from filling similar cases.Justice Bates said that Nnaka did not meet
the basic prerequisites to be considered as a
proper party in the case and to be paid the
amount he requested for as he was not
qualified to represent Nigeria.
The judge also ruled out Nnaka for the
payment since he had not won any judgment
for Nigeria.
“Neither Nnaka nor his purported clients are
parties to the forfeiture matter and neither of
them can win judgment through this
litigation.“The conclusion dooms Nnaka’s motion for
charging lien. At common law, the charging
of lien is applicable to a judgment or decree
obtained for a client by an attorney. Until a
judgment or decree has been obtained, the
right to impose a lien does not arise.
“Even the most basic prerequisites for
charging lien are missing here: Nnaka has
not won a judgment for Nigeria; indeed, he
had not successfully entered appearance on
Nigeria’s behalf. A charging lien in the
amount of $320 million is not called for.
Nnaka’s claim against Nigeria must be
pursued in another case: 16cv-1400.
“Unless and until Nnaka’s claim to the
defendant’s assets are reinstated by the DC
Circuit, Nnaka’s participation in this case
must now come to an end,” the U.S judge
ruled, paving the way for Nigeria to draw
down its huge cash.
Abubakar Malami who is the minister of
justice was in the US for the judgement said
Nnaka was merely trying to delay the return
of the Abacha loot by the U.S by making a
claim that Nigeria must pay him 40 percent
of the loot.
The minister noted that although Nnaka was
recruited by Mr. Olujimi, the former attorney
general in 2004, he had not recovered
anything.
He said Nigeria will not pay Nnaka the $320
million he is asking for since he is not
qualified to practise law in the Maryland area
where the case is taking place.The court also ruled that the lawyer could
not claim to be representing Nigeria as the
temporary letter given to him by Olujimi was
not revalidated by Mohammed Adoke during
the Goodluck Jonathan administration when
the forfeiture case resumed in 2013.
Malami said that the case filed by Nnaka had
delayed the return of the Abacha loot but the
recent judgement dismissing the case should
make things move faster.
“We trust that this Order denying Nnaka’s
frivolous claim to the Abacha assets, will
help to allay the fear of the Nigerian general
public arising from an online medium’s
article which stated that Nigeria stands to
lose $320 million on account of Nnaka’s
Motion.
“We also hope that this Order will help to
correct the many falsehoods and half-truths
published in the past against the Office of the
Honourable Attorney General of the
Federation regarding this matter. “This is a
positive development for Nigeria.”
PoliticsEzekwesili Denies Castigating Buhari by victorlake(op): 11:30am On Sep 12, 2016
Oby Ezekwesili has denied reports credited to her that Buhari’s policies were responsible for the current economic recession. Former education minister, Oby Ezekwesili, has denied reports credited to her blaming President Muhammadu Buhari’s policies for the current economy recession experienced in the country.Vanguard had on Monday, September, 12 reported that the former minister in a whatsApp message last night, September, 11, described statements by the minister of information, Lai Mohammed, that the past government was responsible for the current economic decline as incompetent lies. The convener of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group in the Vanguard report was said to have noted that it was myopic to think that if Jonathan were to still be in power, we would be worse off. According to the report, she said the truth about Nigeria’s recession is that it was caused by the Buhari’s unguided rhetoric and uncultured body language. According to Vanguard, She said: “Firstly, there is nothing we are buying today that we weren’t buying five years ago, therefore it’s not our purchase that put pressure on Naira but withdrawal of funds by foreign investors. ‘’After the election, the President created instability with his statements about how everyone is corrupt and how everyone is going to jail. ‘’The instability made foreign investors to liquidate their investment and change their money to dollars. In the process of trying to flee, they were willing to buy dollars at any price, which lead to high exchange dollar rate.“Even though some of them were not ready to run away, but want their money in dollars to save their investments from devaluation, the president gave a bad signal by banning deposit of foreign currency into domiciliary accounts. “That was enough for free market believers to see the draconian handwriting on the wall, that was the beginning of dollar rush. ’To make matters worse, the President came up with another outrageous policy of rationing dollar to certain sectors and blocking many sectors out. That was the nail in the coffin which facilitated the emergence of free fall.” However, Ezekwesili in reaction to the Vanguard article, accused the media organisation of spreading falsehood in her name. Meanwhile, Oby Ezekwesili who was a vocal critic of the Jonathan administration following the abduction of the Chibok girls by Boko Haram has expressed disappointment over the activities of the police that are frustrating the BBOG campaign, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari is going down the wrong lane. Speaking on the backdrop of police restrictions on the BBOG protests, the former minister noted that the BBOG has a right to protest as stipulated in the 1999 constitution and that the police should not in any way halt the group’s peaceful activities
PoliticsPresidency Accused Of Stealing #changebeginswithme Idea by victorlake(op): 8:36pm On Sep 11, 2016
Days after President Muhammadu Buhari
launched the #ChangeBeginsWithMe
campaign; there is allegation that the idea
was stolen.
The campaign was launched on Thursday,
September 8 as a way of promoting the
concept of change but it seems the minister
of information, Lai Mohammed may be
shrouded in an intellectual theft scandal. Premium Times reports that an associate of
one Akin Fadeyi said He met with the
minister of information in December, 2015 to
introduce him to a project, Not in my Country,
which he believed correlated with the current
administration’s change mantra.
“The idea was to appeal to the minister to
get NTA and Radio Nigeria to play ‘Not In My
Country’ as part of their administration’s
campaign against corruption,.”
The associate said Mr Fadeyi submitted the
proposal to Mohammed who asked him to
make several changes but later declined it.
“They submitted the final version of their
proposal to him after ending each episode
with ‘Change Begins with Me’ as he directed.
“He immediately said it was a brilliant idea
because it achieved ‘the power of one
minute.’”
“He just suddenly disappeared since then and
made it very difficult for Mr. Fadeyi to reach
him for updates about the proposal.
“Months later, he started publicity about
‘Change Begins with Me’ launch without
signing any contract with owners.”
The associate claimed the video played at
the launch of Change Begins With Me was
similar to Not in my Country.
“The minister just sort of made a little change
here, a little change there, and ran to town
with the concept.”
The minister however denied the allegation
and said the Change Begins With Me
campaign had been in the pipeline before he
was appointed.
Williams Adeleye who is the spokesperson of
Mohammed said: “We started working on
‘Change Begins with Me’ before the
honourable minister was nominated and
we’ve been working with the agency that
produced the campaign.”
“So let him go to wherever he likes then we’ll
meet and go and sort it out there.”
CrimeUK Awaits Nigeria To Recover Dan Etete's Loot by victorlake(op): 7:59pm On Sep 11, 2016
The United Kingdom is “begging” Nigeria to
initiate process that will see to the return of
$85million allegedly looted by Dan Etete who
is a former minister of petroleum.Dan Etete’s frozen loot is waiting to be recovered in the UK
The Evening Standard of London which is a
UK newspaper explained that Nigeria’s failure
to send a proceeds-of-crime submission to
the judge of a UK court is slowing down the
recovery of the fund.The money is reportedly frozen in NatWest
bank account in London.
The money is believed to be part of the
proceeds from the award of the licence an
oilfield containing an estimated nine billion
barrels of crude by the former minister to
malabu oil & gas for $20 million.
However, the federal government sold the oil
field to Eni after a disagreement between
Shell and Malabu over the ownership of the
field.
The newspaper said : “Last week, the two
governments agreed criminal assets stolen in
Nigeria and seized in Britain can be returned
to the West African country, but such
breakthroughs are rare.
“Buhari’s governing style is also a source of
frustration. Critics say he is slow in his
decision-making, which allows the EFCC to
wallow in indecision.
“Buhari’s critics say his approach means that
much-needed funds from corruption cases
are not bringing in revenue for an ailing
economy ravaged by low oil prices, and the
oil blocks themselves are not being
developed.”The Malabu Oil deal resulted in the siphoning
off of $1 billion from a $1.3 billion
international investment in the oil block
through ‘fees’ to Etete’s company and
middlemen.
Justice Justice Edi said : “Given the large
sums of money involved that are effectively
paid to a former minister to a bank account
in the Middle East, the whole exercise is
backed by murky instructions.”The Guardian reports that the account is
being fingered as one of those involved in an
alleged fraud case before a Federal High
Court sitting in Lagos but Mrs Jonathan’s
counsel, Gboyega Oduwole has filed a case
before the court, informing that his client is
unhappy with the EFCC over the recent move
to freeze the account
