Yes it's a possibility that it happened that way but the PDP primaries was contested by late Alex Ekueme as well. Ogbonnaya Onu won the APP primaries but was persuaded to step down for Falae. Still that doesn't mean it should happen again

Onu wasn't persuaded. APP aligned with AD he lost against Falae. Ekwueme lost against Obasanjo twice. Nobody handed anybody tickets.
When CPC aligned with ACN, will you say Rochas, Atiku, kwakwanso etc dashed Buhari ticket because he has been losing since 2003?

Wike is the only Pdp candidate I will vote for. I don't have time for any weak southerner that bow to the north. It is either Tinubu or Wike

alphaNomega:
In one aspect, I can blame them for the weakness of naira and economies of most 3rd world countries.

Imagine we want to sell crude oil and our customer has to buy USD before the transaction is complete. This creates an artificial demand for their currency thereby making it relatively stronger and more valuable. This gives their politicians a freehand to mismanage their economy and spend ridiculous amounts on their military budget without any significant economic development on their part

Now if every country was allowed to sell their natural resource with their local currency, each country would have a more balanced economy reflecting their true economic worth.

NB: I'm not an economics guru yet

I read somewhere that that was Gaddafi was trying to do for oil producing countries in Africa

jos4kay:
Some country are just irresponsible and cant be trusted with nuclear power, especially this Iran, they can use it against anybody to even there own people.

where is the proof?
How many countries have Iran invaded and destroyed compared to USA?

truthstands01:
This Biden is a low life, a fraud and a total disaster. Every sensible leader knows Iran is a threat to the world. Unfreezing the account is granting unlimited wealth access to a nation that is heartless and evil. May God deliver the world from the dangers and evils of Biden.

lol so Iran is evil but USA isn't?

And I was supposed to care about this?

LordIsaac:
If she wanted him extinct, he wouldn't have grown to be able to think of using acid on her. This is a boy who broke through barricades to actualise his evil mission; and you call that a mere threat? Hmmm.....a recidivist for that matter! All I'm saying is, he could approach any church pastor, any community elder, anyone around for that matter, to plead his course. In this life, and in the life hereafter, he will be forever condemned if he succeeds in pouring acid on his mom for whatever reason.

trust me the lying bitch will be dead if he's serious about killing her.
Of what use is keeping a child alive in a patriarchal and tribalistic society like Nigeria if you are going to shroud his paternity in conspiracy and subject him to constant ridicule?
He should first of all burn her with acid and kill her later

LordIsaac:
How does that transcend into taking her life? What makes you think if she shows him the so called man, both will not gang up to exterminate her? How are you sure that that secret is not her only means of survival? She has a right to protect herself from anyone, even her son. So yes, I'll almost go beyond making sure he is locked up forever. All is fair in love and in war. His best weapon is acid, mine will be life imprisonment for him or even extermination. The boy does not have the perogative of violence.

lmao. He clearly doesn't want to kill her, he just wants to give her mark that she will forever wake up, see and remember how she woke up everyday and lied to her children. If he wants her dead, trust me he doesn't need acid

ahnie:
I think the boy should be put behind bar permanently for life,if the mum isn't careful he would be the one that would hack life outta her.

that's after he burn the useless lying woman with acid first. Imagine living all your life believing you are a Yoruba only to hear from gossipers that you are Igbo.

Wike vs Amaechi would be funny.
If Oshiomole didn't fool himself maybe he might have had a shot too

ityP:
Seems you're the mental one here o. Fulani strong pass Hausa for north. This is common knowledge na. Since 1999, all northerners that was president or v.p na Fulani. Hausas for north no dey try Fulanis sef

Yar' Ardua and Sambo were both Fulani? Eeeew

MITCHELL96:
Omg! This crap of a post doesn't deserve a front page, wtf!

That film is shit! People recommend it alot to me, but I said I ain't watching that shit, I hear people walk around saying crap slangs that irritates the ear, and I'll ask them, where TF did you learn that ? they'll say it's from Selina Tested Movie, so now, I should also watch it and be like them too ba ?


Damn! Not someone like me, I don't watch something that pollutes the mind & soul

cultists slangs. I remember some idiots who came to seek asylum in my family house back in 2009, these are the kind of nonsense they were speaking. Those gibberish can put in a very serious violent trouble

Madmohamed1:
sule In Kwara state is yeruba Amaechi in River State is not Igbo bola in kogi is yeruba ikechukwu in Delta is not Igbo you see the Hippocrates of some people

it's those people who say they are not Igbos.
I thought you people always shout yooonity beggars?
Those people claim they came from Benin, why are forcing yooonity on them?
Don't bring language similarities here, almost all Northerners speak Hausa yet Hausa people don't claim everybody in the North is Hausa

Romanoff:
People are wicked.

For this reason, give birth to a few kids you can care for so they don't end up in the hands and at the met y of wicked humans like this lady.

what if the parents are related to the man and they both died in an accident?
I had friend like that when I was in the university. She had to go live with her grandmother

AfroKnight:
Women (Feminists) come here to demonise men and tell the world how children are not safe with men, but the irony is found among those women who employ maids.

The fact is women can be terrible, evil bosses as evidenced in the lives of powerless house maids and step children.

That viral video of a woman, who lifted her little maid and slammed the girl to the floor repeatedly, lives rent-free in my head.

Shall we therefore organise a campaign to protect vulnerable children from women? Should we also stoop as low as feminists to show them their hypocrisy?

Lock this woman up for life. A normal person in rage would have stopped at the first cut after hearing the screams of the child and drawing blood, but this woman actually went ahead to give this child MULTIPLE CUTS! She should not be allowed out of prison for the rest of her life.

women brutalise children way way way more often than men. Observe almost all homes, it's the women who bodies their own children but they still find a way to paint the father as the bigger monster. A woman will brutalise her child, when he keeps crying nonstop or does something else she will then start threatening to report to his father and then she will say " even if your father is killing you today I will not beg him to stop" this makes the child to subconsciously believe that whatever brutality the mother meted on him, his father is capable of doing far worse and it is the mother who always stops him from killing him whereas the woman is just the evil one. What most fathers do is bark with that scary bass voice. Women are more likely to beat children to pulp

BRATISLAVA:
1. Teenagers aren't ready for marriage at 16, except to men who want to manipulate and use teenagers for their sexual ends and control them. Maturity isn't by having breasts, hips, a uterus and a vagina. That is what men think maturity is, because it fulfills their sexual cravings for a young virgin. Afterwards they claim the little girls they put themselves in relationships with are fish brains. What do you expect from a child?

2. Because they are legally ready at that age, to satisfy cradle snatchers, that means that you must get a teenager to marry? Can we stand and look at these things ethically, rather than desperately trying to support putting little girls in situations that little boys aren't put in? The law says that fornication and adultery are not illegal and you should make up where you can, must you fornicate and commit adultery because of that or will you stand ethically to know it is right or wrong? Same laws have loopholes for you to marry your cousins and aunts, but you have refused to though they are hot enough for you. Why?

3. Mentally they aren't ready for it. You people have simply convinced yourselves that boys of 18 are brainless so that older men can have sex with teenagers young enough to be their daughters. What is scary about being with older women who are mature, fear of being caught out in manipulations? At 18 many girls are interested in their lives until an older man comes to derail them with his manipulative brand of love.

The justification for such relationships it's getting old. Let the girl mature and grow to a point where she can make informed and decisions, not from infatuation, intimidation and trying to please and elder who has promised her sex and money.

This wouldn't be something you would fight for if it were a 44 year old man and a 17 year old boy in love.

the reason young boys aren't put in the same situation is because a 17 years old boy will naturally not be able to provide for a woman financially. Stop pretending as if women have some higher moral high standards when we all know it's just selfishness. Women marry men who will provide for them, men don't marry women who will provide for them. A man needs to go to school, learn work or at least have something that's bringing money before a woman will deem him ready for marriage. Men don't care if a woman has money or any source of income before they marry her. As long as she biologically capable of reproducing they're fine.

We both know women expire way quicker than men. If the woman was the 44 years old it will take a miracle for her to be able to reproduce.
Even if the girl has a good source of income she will still be fleecing the man, so what's the point? Why should a man have to wait till she's nearing expiration when she already has everything he needs at 18?

Nobody told 18 years old girls that their age mates were brainless. They normally pick older guys because those ones normally have more money. Now that teenage boys are doing yahoo and finally having money at young age, are older more mature girls not sleeping with them? Go to clubs and see what older girls are doing with small small boys. Stand outside shopping mall and observe.
Where were you when news of a 17 years old boy who bursted his 28 years old girlfriend's lip broke few weeks ago?

lusid:
blood of jesus. What type of human being is this?

if we look very well now we will discover that your mother might not have even been 17 when she got married.

Righteousness2:
Evang. Fummi has exposed the activities of the Satanic , Demonic and marine kingdoms so much and they are raged , angry and have pulled out all arsenals to pull her down by all means.

But one thing is sure. GOD ALMIGHTY will Defend His own!

so you actually believe that ignorant woman knows what she is doing?

Carot:
do you find 17, 18 year olds attractive

how many 18 years do you know?
Do all 17, 18 years olds look the same?

endy69:
Haha. Maybe till you born before you will love kids. The truth is that I can't imagine anyone close to me to marry by 17. Wetn you wan marry for? My younger sis is 18 and you can't even dream of marriage now. My older sister married 1year after leaving school.

you have no say

ShenTeh:
You have only buttressed my point. I am not going to trust an institution like marriage to a 17yo girl, no matter the exaggerated competencies that society has assumed on her.

Well, the op will have no option than to let her take her decision. I hope later in life he looks back and finds that he has been wrong all along.

it's not even his decision. A 17 years old girl can build a perfect home. She doesn't have to do much.

If the brother stops her from marrying him, she will only appreciate if she's able to get a better partner in the future. If she somehow ends up with an inferior partner she will forever blame the guy for bringing hindrance to her life. The best thing is to advise her, if she insists you let her be

ShenTeh:
Thank you.

Think of the stupid decisions you took when you were 18. Who could have told you that you were stupid then and you would agree? But today, you personally look back at those silly decisions and hope to go back in time and spank your silly old 18yo self.

one of my sisters was supposed to marry one guy like that, the guy is short, they told her he's too short. She married a tall handsome guy who was doing police work, he was sacked barely 6 months later was nearly jailed sef and never got back on his feet again. In fact he is doing bike now sef. The short suitor is very rich now, he bought one Toyota Suv the last time I went home, he also got his wife camry. You'd have to be dreaming to believe my sister doesn't forever blame those "deceived" her

ShenTeh:
Thank you.

Think of the stupid decisions you took when you were 18. Who could have told you that you were stupid then and you would agree? But today, you personally look back at those silly decisions and hope to go back in time and spank your silly old 18yo self.

this one is different. You will only be right if she's able to nab a better partner in future regardless of how good your intentions were. I have many sisters. I know some who didn't marry a suitor because of things some siblings said. The ones that never got a better partner forever blame the siblings that brought hindrance to their life.

ShenTeh:
Ah! Marriage is beyond sex. What is sex?

Does it not scare you the tons of marital complaints you read on Nairaland everyday. Then think of the tons that don't make it to cybersphere.

the man in question is a traditional man. For a traditional man marriage is sex, child birth and being able to cook.
The stories you are talking about, how many of the couples are even in their early twenties? That's just to tell you it's not about age.
If she already knows everything about sex, she can decide to get pregnant if the guy is still forming father Abraham. How do you get pregnant, through sex or immaculate conception?

BRATISLAVA:
All you've said makes it right and ethical, right? Because little girls who have no idea of the world are ideal for marriage because it is done. That makes it right.

Why have you never advocated with logic that boys of 12 and 17 get married? Or is it only women who hate an undeveloped body and immature mind, due to some societal preferences and myth without consideration for the children in question?

What logic.

boys of 12 would gladly get married if they could find a wife. Which woman would marry a 12 years old boy?
You online people like to pretend as if women don't only marry a man who can slave his life away to an early grave in order to provide for them. If this 44 years old man didn't have money and probably a good car and respectable house and financial stability you think the 17 years old would be dying to marry him?
What ethics are you even talking about?
What's the difference between a 17 years old girl and an 18 years old girl? Most 16 years old girls already know everything about sex, abortion etc. A 16 years old girl is the equivalent of a 26 years old boy when it comes to sex. If she gets pregnant for the man, is the omniscient elder brother going to rip the foetus out of her womb?

endy69:

Even against Nigerian law the girl na minor. Pray make your daughter marry at 17 and make her husband be over 40

that's a lie. Some states in Nigeria accept 16 years old as adults. All the northerners publicly marrying 12 years olds what has anyone done about it? Majority of married women married below 17 years of age. Girls below 17 gets pregnant everyday and give birth there's nothing anyone can do about it. You think I'm emotional like you? I don't even like children to begin with, if she gets pregnant at 16 am I going to kill her?

Oyiboman69:
Inferiority complex... the Blackman always worshiping the white because the wrote a book concerning thsose fable and fed to them. this is the sole reason why the Blackman is a prisoner of the white,the slave and master mentality. how many times have you seen a whiteman narrating his undying admiration for a Blackman or don't you know that there were also great men in Africa which,most men like Socrates and the rest visited Africa just to seek wisdom from men such as oromila...

as if the mythical Odin will even allow a stinking negro into his hall

general111:
This is the odin that some area boys are worshipping?
Hahahahhaha..
Its funny how they believe that violence will take them to valhala

the funniest part of it all is believing that if the valhala exists, a snow white Scandinavian god will allow a dirty niggar into his hall of banquet
Scandinavians that even felt French and Britanias were inferior to them

endy69:
In Igbo land women don't decide marriage. The OPs father is late so, if he's the first son, he has replaced their father and if he says the marriage won't work then, the umunna won't approve the marriage. And biblically, marriage is between the two families. OP calm down if you be Igbo now, you for get case. And it seems you allow your mother to undermine your decisions. I know she's your mother but you're the man of the house now

yeye talk. If she goes ahead and get pregnant for the man nko?
If he stops her from marrying him and the man goes ahead and marry someone else, just know that he and the sister have become sworn enemies for life

Look at this fool. Is it everything you hear from oyinbo you must regurgitate?
Do you have any idea the number of thick forests around my place?
I wasn't the one who told white people cut down their trees and build skyscrapers you fools should not disturb me with nonsense

If na she buy am, no problem
