Continue deceiving yourself , I know shishi you won't see, the only annoying thing is you messing up the reputation of the Nigeria Army .

And you feel a Major General assaulting defenseless civilians repair the reputation of the military? Nigerian military that run from actual confrontation with insurgents.

Babangidapikin:
Stop seeking sympathy were there is none ... The Generals don't just on Siren if they are no reason, he ought to give way, if he didn't then he is obstructing ...

Where is he going that he needs siren? Is he hurrying to fight bandits? So the penalty for not giving way is assault? Do you see this kind of thing occur in other democratic countries?

Babangidapikin:
Go to the U.S when a security vehicle on it's Siren don't give way

You will never see a two-star general in full uniform roaming up and down in traffic in the US. Where was he going that was so critical to national security? In most countries of the world, including the small Benin Republic, you don't see generals in full military uniform roaming among civilians, not to mention doing "Bole Ka Ja" on the streets.
Boko Haram, Bandits, and Lakurawa have taken over the north, and the military general is aggression is only towards defenseless civilians.

Customer to pay for a faulty meter?

https://storage.ko-fi.com/cdn/useruploads/display/0ffe3fcc-73ba-4036-bbc9-f8ea3f5a7494_3ojxq.gif


Only in Nigeria!

Should customers pay for meter in the first place? after paying who then own the meter?
Small time NERC would tell customers to pay for transformers.

Very very good analysis.
Now, if you are referring to inter-dimensional beings from another dimension, then I absolutely believe and subscribe to that.
In fact, I can opine that the majority of so called spiritual encounters are chance or accidental encounters with inter-dimensional beings.
I subscribe to this because it makes solid scientific sense from everything we know so far about quantum physics, frequencies and the electromagnetic spectrum.
If, for example, our consciousness is only limited certain frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum for sight , sound , touch, etc, it is logical to assume our physical universe is also limited to certain frequencies beyond what is available on the electromagnetic spectrum. This would logically mean that the possibility of other universes huming on lower or higher frequency bands than our own.
Now, since we know or have come to the conclusion that our brains possess quantum-mechanical characteristics and function like quantum computers, it is plausible that our brains create quantum fields that extend way beyond the limits of our physical senses.
Therefore, it would be plausible that once in a while,under stress, trauma or induced conditions, our brains leap out and briefly entangles with beings or objects beyond our physical frequency band.
It would also make sense that through practice and meditation, the brain can be attenuated or modulated to stretch beyond our normal range of perception.

Deepsight, let's hear your opinion on this particular perspective.

I feel you. I honestly understand what you are talking about. I have actually read a lot about spiritual dimensions, multidimensional universes, quantum entanglements, frequencies, etc. I used to subscribe to all these ideas for a very long time. But I decided to discard them one by one for one reason. They suffer the same flaw as all spiritual knowledge since the dawn of history, they simply ride on current scientific discoveries. They don't add anything to current knowledge of the universe, but wait for scientists to do the hard work and them borrow their concepts and theories to explain their spiritual world. Most times they even misinterprete or misrepresent these scientific theories. For example when they describe the quantum world as being a strange world where anything goes,and where the laws of physics are broken. This is not true. Quantum physics just tries to describe behaviour of particles on the very fundamental scale (the piko scale). That world can only be described by the wave function, a probability of events. But on the macro scale, quantum physics aligns with regular physics.
It is disingenuous to try and describe the macro world using quantum mechanics.

justlove91:
Having studied hundreds of messages purported to have been communicated by "dead" people through mediums, describing their environments, I've come to believe that physicality is a matter of where one is looking from.

1. They say they inhabit a physical world that is as solid and physical as here on earth. Their houses are solid and they cannot pass through it just as we can't walk through our houses.
2. When they visit the earth plane (here), our houses and other things that make up our physical world are misty and insubstantial to them and they can easily see through or pass through our walls because it is not physical to them.

I don't buy this. I believe so called spiritual communications are reflections or rather re-enactments of our experiences. That's why information gotten from such are in tandem with the technology, knowledge and experiences of the time. That's was why spiritual communications did not tell anyone any of the basic facts we take for granted today, like the earth is a sphere, the moving points of lights wondering among the stars are co-planets, that the stars are other sun's, that microbes causes diseases, etc., non of these dead people gave any information outside the prevailing knowledge. Similarly, their environment as described is no different from the environment they left behind on earth. The people and animals described are familiar ones.

3. They have a body that is as physical to touch and sight as their former earth body. This body is not just a vacuum, it is a biological machine that contains internal organs like brain, heart, lungs, blood etc though some organs are not present such as the reproductive and digestive organs.

Same thing I said before, the spiritualists use current scientific information, twist it to fit their narrative, and then label it spiritual world or understanding. The word vacuum was added after science learnt that space is a vacuum. How can something be called a biological machine without reproduction and digestion? How will the spiritual being be replaced. Oh I forgot, spiritual beings are immortal. How will they obtain energy for basic functions without eating? I had thought there were feasts in some heavens. There is even excessive sex in some heavens.

So, from our perspective, we're material while they're immaterial but from their perspective they're material while we and our world are immaterial.

What is the definition of immaterial? What is even your definition of material?

charlsecy:
Are the fathers of out-of-wedlock kids considered in-laws?

What's the advantage to the man of being in-law? Even sef what the benefits of the marriage to the man?

flokii:
The usual practice is.. the American Government will take him away to use his brain to their advantage.
Africa keeps losing her shining lights to the West while thieves and destructive entities are left to ruin their countries aground.

Exactly. The West is not only stripping Africa of its natural resources, but more tragically, stripping the continent of its human resources, thereby leaving behind criminals, bandits and insurgents to destroy their countries. To make matters worse, Nigeria is importing criminals from the rest of West and North Africa.

GboyegaD:
Oga, you no get right to dey knack their pikin wey you never pay dowry for so i don't understand why you are acting like you did something special for doing the right thing.

I don't understand why you guys think we are still living in the 19th century. Sex nowadays is a very cheap commodity. It's not every girl you knack that you will have to pay bride price for. Knacking most times is for temporary enjoyment or curing konji - by both man and women, most times with incentives.
Afterall the girl was not a virgin when the husband-to-be met her . Do you know how many rods have passed through than hole? Why didn't the previous guys do the right thing and pay her bride price? It's because those other guys did not allow themselves to be manipulated.

Regretting 10 times more because of what the brother said? Abeg, you be man so? You should learn to protect her even if you guys are divorced because she is at least the mother of your child. You got to apologize to her for the public humiliation.

The marriage itself was not built on mutual love and respect but on other extraneous selfish reasons. The girl needed financial stability and the guy needed constant knackering, Nothing else. Outside these the couples obviously hate each other's guts.

As for the items you are asked to buy, you don't have to if you don't want to. If his kids will not but him, then his siblings should. It is no custom as he would have been buried but whoever if none of his kids were married.

The in-laws have no right to present the guy with a list of demands, as if he is just asking for their daughters hand in marriage. I am sure if they had approached the guy with respect pleading with him to help in covering some of the burial expenses as the family is not doing so well. I am sure he would have done something from his heart. I am sure the wife's family is contributing to the stress in the marriage.

rolams:
When you get married, tell your in-laws all these. I am very sure they will love you wholeheartedly. Thanks

I am married with teenage children. I am married to an igbo woman for that matter, and I made it clear from the very beginning that I don't take shit from anybody.
I know what I have done for my wife's family, and they appreciate it. I did it all without any compulsion or guilt tripping.
Same reason I stopped going to church. I am a fiercely independent minded person, no one including my family could get me to do what I don't want to.

Same way I raise my children - to be independent minded.

rolams:
When they requested you to pay/bring some items for marriage, do they ask about your tradition before given you the list? Many of you will just come online and start typing what you have no knowledge about. No wife, no children and yet, you think you can interfere in other responsible people's matter with your wrong mindset. You all need to understand how Nigerian marital system works. You better seek the knowledge now.

It's you that don't understand Nigerian marital laws. In Nigeria there are three types of marriages - court marriages, traditional marriage and religious marriage. Most couples do all three. Some couples carry out only one. Court wedding is superior to all other weddings according to Nigerian law.
Now, payment of bride price is what renders traditional marriage legal. All other things are just ceremonial. No law or custom can obligate a man (or woman for that matter) to be responsible for the burial of in-laws. That's exploitation and an overreach.

Blackdisciple:
But I was furious because no single bill went to her sister's baby father's, absolutely nothing was listed for them

Probably since they did not come to do the right thing that's why they are not recognized in the family yet. So reminding your wife every time una fight that she forced you into married is killing her gradually. So fix it bro and as for your inlaws you might need to apologize to the mama, they never knew that their daughter was never a virgin as they thought hence you spending likely 4m for a wedding of a camouflage virgin..

That means it's better to be a baby daddy than to be a husband. Being a baby daddy frees you of all obligations of husband, inlaw and even daddy. You are free to be enjoying different kpekus as you like without any obligations.

DEXTROVERT:
Nobody put a gun on his head to pay the mortuary or burial expenses.

They asked him, he should have told them he doesn't have instead of dragging his poor wife into the quagmire.

See, the money you have is what you give out, nobody manufactures money.

They did not ask him or beg him. The inlaws presented him with a list, a demand of what they expect him to do.

rolams:
Na wa oooo! You impregnated someone and you are talking as if you are innocent.

If you were told to buy something or do something concerning the burial, that's the tradition. Oga, do your responsibility if you have the power or politely inform your wife's family if you are not financially buoyant.

Remember, if you chase the girl out now, you will still get married to another girl and you won't escape from this responsibility for life.

Which kind yeye tradition is that? Did you ask if that is also his tradition? Or is your own tradition superior to his own?
Did you tell him or sign a pre nuptial agreement before marriage, that he will be responsible for the burial of the wife's family when any of them pass on?

The presidential candidate of PDP for the next election is Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Wike will see to that.

DEXTROVERT:
Just imagine

Someone acts this way to your own daughter

You blasted her
You deflated her
You detest her
You think she forced herself on you
You disrespected her

I'm sore sad

If you have a daughter
And
A man did all these to her
Will you be ever happy on her behalf

Women have their short comings
But, you are man and wiser
Learn to keep those hurtful words away

I can't imagine everyday you tell my daughter, you hate her and she forced herself on you.

Better honorably divorce her,
She has gone through alot
No wonder she will reply you harshly

Let me tell you
No matter what she says to you
If you are sick today, the only one that will be by your bed is your wife, all those side chicks will run.

Pls give what you can, and if you don't have
Humbly tell them.
Start respecting your wife, your family will be blessed

Obviously, the OP did wrong by disgracing his wife in front of her family. No one put a gun by his head to marry the woman. He should take responsibility for his decisions.

But you found nothing wrong in forcing the man to pay for the casket and other burial expenses of his wife's father, despite him having close to 2 dozen children.

kevwemike:
Guy wat is wrong with U? Why are U talking like a child, U don't like the girl but Ur dick like her pussy to the extent U got her pregnant, and U are here saying that she force u into the marriage, u dey here urself? The truth is that wat the family counted for U is the right thing to do as in-law , just try and do the needful is Ur in-law[color=#990000][/color].

African culture, exploiting women since the time of Caesar. They counted for you as inlaw when it's convenient for them, but count against you when sharing goodies like property and material things.
Igbo culture will ask intending husbands to pay for all the expenses spent on their daughters before marrying or owning her, but after marriage will still ask the husband to help train their other siblings, build house for wife's parents and help with medical and other expenses of the parents. Meanwhile, the daughters have no share of the family inheritance after the demise of the parents.

flexybricky:
Exactly how America works, we need to know who comes into the country at all time.

Just like how America works, the most serious criminals don't come in through the airports, they enter the country through porous land borders. Terrorists, bandits and ìnsurgents are pouring in the northern borders with the government turning a blind eye.

Mrfeel:
FFK and Reno omokri, two hungry politicians, if kemi gives FFK food tomorrow all these things he is talking about will turn to praises

That's true. Just imagine for a second, Kevin Badenoch become priminister and appoints FFK, as media spokesman, him go curse Nigeria and Tinubu pass the way Jesus curse the fig tree.

LadyExcellency:
There is nothing like giving scarce dollars in a foreign currency floated economy. The highest bidder gets the dollar.

Who is the seller, and where does the seller get the dollars?

It seems people like you just wish for the total destruction of the country, probably because of hate, hate for certain tribes or individuals. How can you be proud of importing rice, energy and even cloths (rejected Okrika for that matter), all in the name of looking for cheap goods.

iLoveYouToo:
Now they want FG to provide them with cover, same cover FG gave to local rice producers that are now choking us with price.

Which cover is FG providing for local rice producers? Imported rice is still more expensive than foreign rice.

Local producers are just evil, especially the ones backed by FG’s local content promotion.

It's foreign importers that are killing Nigerians with substandard products including food and drugs that are angels.

It’s only in Nigeria that imported goods are cheaper than the locally produced (often inferior) ones

That's because it is only Nigeria that allows importation of substandard products all in the name of looking for making profits and killing local productions.

Stop buying rickety vehicles

GiG is a very big logistic company and even owns aircraft party from fleet of vehicles for logistics, theyt vehicles travels more often than your vehicles still they don't change engine every 2 years

I am a car owner for more than 10ys and I have used different vehicles for my pleasure & business

I own vehicles with registered transport companies and I have never changed any vehicle engine in 2yrs all my life (although I joined transport biz just 5yrs & some months ago)

Stop coming here to dish out lies

I have friends who owns a logistics company and they don't change their vehicle engine every 2yrs

Buy a good vehicle preferably grade A foreign used otherwise known as tokunbo

Who told you I was buying rickety vehicles. The irony is that the only "rickety" vehicle I bought which was actually the first vehicle I bought for the business is the strongest and most reliable. It was a 2006 Mitsubishi L200 I got at scrap price. Spent less than N300k on it and it has been working for 5 years. I have only changed the engine once. The remaining more recent models are not as strong.

Now, how long you car engine last depends on a number of factors, like usage, maintenance and regular oil change. My vehicles work every day for for 8 to 10 hours modays to Fridays, sometimes Saturdays and public holidays. Incidentally they go to Awoyaya (dangote refinery) and Epe from V/I everyday. Most people in that particular line of business change engines or at least change rings every two to three years.

Many multinational and big companies sell of their vehicles every 5 - 7 years and replace them brand new ones to avoid maintenance wahala.

XAUBulls:
The profuse apology by this young guy in the video is highly unwarranted.

The public apology was most probably part of the settlement agreement.

He should have just said he has forgiven that highly dishonorable guy in the house of representatives and collect his at least NGN 5 million of money as compensation for the verbal and physical assaults he got that night.

I think he would have collected more than N5million. The negotiations would have taken place in the presence of his lawyer. The lawyer too will collect his own share. N10 million and above sounds more reasonable.

Alternative dispute resolutions are good though because they minimize the long time it takes to get justice in the regular courts.

This is the best outcome for both parties. The uber driver gets life changing money, the Uber hevwas driving might be on hire purchase or lease, and the House Member is left off the hook, he was facing legal trouble and house disciplinary committee.

1nigeriamyfoot:
Cheap substandard that same dangote don dey use for years to power his vehicle? Tell me another story

I have vehicles I use for logistics business. I change engine for each vehicle every two years despite scheduled oil change.

It's insane that locally produce product is higher than imported one

It's a matter of grade. Even in the US different grade of petrol are of different prices.

Mind you, dangote petrol is low grade compared to USA petrol. Do you even know that petrol in USA get grade with different prices and dangote petrol quality no even come close to the lowest grade of petrol in USA when it comes to quality?

Dangote cab go to hell with his useless petrol

How do you know. Have you tested dangote petrol and compared it with that from the US? Even at that NNPC does not import petrol from the US, the buy from Brazil and take it to Malta to blend before shipping to Nigeria, with added subsidy.

Ykc2:
In as much tinubu and his jankara economists team are failures they should never allow dangote to have monopoly over petrol ⛽, today dangote is lying to Nigerians that his refinery worth 20billion dollars he knew we gullible people will believe him,how can imported petrol be the same price with the one refined by dangote,Malta as a country is using euros paying workers in euros yet they are cheaper than dangotes own ,dangote refined his petrol with naija cheap worker yet his petrol is costly, I thought reno omokri said nigeria will save billions of dollars from dangote refinery

This is because imported petrol is the poorest possible grade of blended petrol, while NNPC insists Dangote's petrol must be to European standard. Malta does not have a refinery. It only has blending facilities. If Dangote is allowed to also blend his petrol, his would be far cheaper than that imported from Malta.

1nigeriamyfoot:
It's simple, let dangote export his products and keep his forex to himself

Let Nigeria sell crude oil & use the forex to buy petrol

Dangote entered cement and with government backup he inflated the price of cement so bad now petrol

You should advocate for opening up the markets instead of killing local markets with importation.
Dangote can never compete with international oil mafia. You thing the international oil traders are happy with Dangote?

maasoap:
Olodo rabata! How do you want Dangote firms to benefit Nigerians other than employment opportunities, availability of the products and reduction in demand for forex? If you want the prices of products to come down, FG has roles to play and other industrialists and manufacturers also have to come on board.
But these wereys want to use reckless importation to fight monopoly instead of them to establish their companies that produce, manufacture and/or refine

Nigerians are their own worst enemy. They want to continue importation of cheap substandard products as against encouraging local production, but will still complain of naira falling against all world currencies including CFA.

trutharena:
Monopoly is bad for any economy.

But importation is good for the country? When Trump is threatening to impose tarrifs on Chinese imports and encourage goods to be manufactured in the US, our own government is talking about competition with imports.

Abi o.She can decides her destiny at this age? Oh my people. It all boils down on understanding.

It seems you don't understand the concept of consent in relation to rape. In the US, you can can jailed for raping your wife.

Exceed15:
I was expecting to hear below 18years.. abegii she's wasn't raped.

So a girl have to be below 18 years before she can be raped? Read the report well before pressing reply and submit.
This was what the report said;

She explained that the teenage victim, who had recently lost her mother, was offered shelter by the couple in their Ojota residence.

In addition, the victim reported physical abuse , stating that the couple allegedly beat her whenever she made mistakes in the household.

The first defendant, allegedly woke a 19-year-old girl in the middle of the night and stripped her, allowing the second defendant, Ramoni, to assault her.

The witness stated, “The girl reported that one day in the sitting room, Omolara beat her, stripped her, and inserted her fingers into her private parts. Afterwards, she threw the girl out, and seized her ATM card, phone line, and salary to deny her access to her funds.”
The witness also noted that if the 19-year-old had consented to the abuse, she would not have reported it to the Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) or sought a medical examination at the Mirabel Centre.

The redded part of the quote is the legal definition of rape.

It was the girl herself that reported the alleged rape and sexual abuse, and she was medically examined.

Nigerians seems to have lost the sense of distinguishing right from wrong, no wonder the country has degenerated into a moral cesspool, while at the same time claiming to be the most religious people on earth.

DeepSight:
While many understand what is at stake, as Jakumo (the greatest Nairalander of all time) pointed out but a day or two ago, what is frightening and bewildering is the fact that most polls still show the candidates to be neck and neck in spite of the sheer madness and depravity of one candidate.

That speaks a lot about the demented state of the human mind in today's world.

I honestly don't think the polls are that close. I can't imagine majority of Americans would vote for a 78 year old convicted felon as president, just to spite the left. I believe pollsters are scared to commit to one candidate because they have been wrong the last two election cycles. They want to be able to to claim the correctness of their polls no matter who wins.
Personally, I think Kamala would blow out Trump
Forget all the noise trump and his campaign are making, they know they would lose, they are just preparing the grounds for another coup or denial. That's the only way he can remain relevant within the republican party, and probably hope to remain out of jail.

Throwback:
Great appointment.

No coup for the coup plotters.

A rabid enemy of democracy and the constitutional government will not be allowed near any critical structure of power.

It's not generals that plan and execute coups, it's the lower ranks. Even Sergeants and have been known to successfully execute coups.
