My bro every man has a 3 months grace to get his shit together.

Life happens and most wives especially in a society like NG prefer to be married at least for appearance sake so for a woman to go from angel to witch ... it takes 3 months.

Now for better for better not worse ..... that statement does not supercede the man being an infidel or worse than an infidel when he cannot provide. They will be together but he will leave by himself when the fury of hell is brought on him.

No one is more resilient than women - she is programmed to carry a child for 9 months - but no matter how.much money she has..... for emphasis I will repeat no matter how much money she has - she is not programmed to shelter, feed or cloth a man least of all her husband.


See the bible said worse than an infidel - meaning he will be treated worse than an infidel.

Teach your sons how to make money. Let the girls go to school and let the boys learn to trade and go to school.

A man is practically useless in a family setting if he is not providing

Ire o

This is the primitive ideology that has kept and is keeping Africa in the dark ages. This ideology has no place in modern societies. When societies were agrarian and less stable, men were the strength and sole providers of families and the society, but when we began building stable mega-cities and the societies became knowledge based, women left the kitchen and bedroom and started contributing to families and societies.

This primitive philosophy would lead to men refusing to educate or contribute to the progress of their wives. Most men elevate the status of their wives so that when the man falls on hard times (which usually happen in the lives of most men), the wive can carry the family. If the man becomes incapacitated due to ill health or accident or even death, the wives would be in a position to carry the family, instead of the children becoming destitute, There is a reason for the "for richer or for poorer" and "in sickness or in health" part of the marriage vow.

In organized societies, family fortunes are shared between both couples in marriage and in separation, but in primitive societies, women want to have their cake and eat it, The man's properties are family properties, but the woman's properties are her sole property.

Goldmaxx:
Must everything in this be about being black or white? The left is happily politicizing this for their own gain. Please stop it! People are killed in America on a daily basis either by white or black or purple. Black on black violence was high during Obama's time, what did he do to curb it?

More evidence will come out and it will be judged like any other murder case. EOD!

You are simply trying to deflect. We are not talking about black on black violence, we are talking about murders with racial undertones and the complicity and sometimes encouragement of the white dominated Police. If you want to discuss black on black violence, open another thread for that.

Now, explain why a white father and a son would pursue and murder a black guy they have never interacted with?

Also explain why the local police did nothing for 2 whole months despite having the video of the murder in their possession?
These are the issues black lives matter need answers to, because probably without their protests many of such issues would not be brought to the public or prosecuted.

Roon9:
Lol! Too many illiterates are in Nigeria. In saner climes just spending a certain amount of money on an item could invite the IRS knocking at your door steps. woe betide you if you can't give a decent explanation.


The opposite is practised here. An armed robber and kidnapper could be trekking today and the very next day he'd be balling and driving exotic cars, telling people "God has finally done it". I have discovered that the core problem of Nigeria isn't the government but the society.

That's the tragedy of the Nigerian situation. They are yet to understand that illegally gotten wealth elevates the individual but destroys the society. The person got his wealth not by creating value but by reducing value.

It was when Nigeria started celebrating crime from the early 80's that the country started degrading to the point of a failed country. We have the most billionaires in Africa but still the poverty capital of the world.

90% of Nigerian billionaires will be in jail abroad. It's only in Nigeria you will see someone without N1000 in his account become a billionaire 5 years later without inheriting any money or winning a jackpot, and we make them role models for our children.

TheGoodJoe:
I think best Governor in the History of Nigeria when it comes to delivering for the common man.

If he can deliver the Kano- Lagos and the warri-itakpe railways, he will be the best minister in the history of Nigeria.

stgift:
Wike did well. Why would it be only those two hotels that would flout the order. The announcement for the lock down and the consequences of flouting it was issued 3 days before the date. And the owner of the hotel feels that we are lawless like Lagos State. And even going to the extra mile of shooting the task force who came to warn them. And they feel they can go away with. Now one of the task force member has lost his life as a result of the gun shot wound and assault. The owners of the hotel should be arrested. Meanwhile the cases we have now are as a result of the virus transmission gotten in a hotel that infected over more than 17 people. And you say Gov. Wike should fold his hands and watch and extend a carrot approach to the defaulters. My dear Nigerians has learnt to eat the carrot and run, now is time to use iron hand approach.

I now know most Nigerians do not understand the meaning of democracy. See the way people are justifying a purely lawless tyrannical action. Are you now suggesting that if wike catches an armed robbery in the act, he has the powers to order his immediate execution without his day in court?

First of all wike's order can even be challenged in court. Even a law passed by the national assembly can be challenged as unconstitutional in the courts. So, wike's orders are not divine. Is there a law passed by the state assembly backing his order and his actions? Can his order lead to criminal prosecution?

If the man in question commits murder, he should be charged for such. He should be brought before a competent court for prosecution and punishment according to our laws. Murder had nothing to do with destruction of properties according to our laws.

iLegendd:
If he becomes the president, Nigeria will be great. No nepotism. He calls a spade a spade and he doesn't care if the offender is a PDP or an APC member — all he cares about is for the citizens to be law abiding.

A country where the citizens don't obey law or the leader is a nepotist, will never move forward.

Ask Buhari for your answer — if you have any question to ask.

Are you suggesting we should throw the rule of law away, empower the executive to be the legislature and judiciary and shut down the courts?

edoairways:
You said insults is allowed and you mentioned some politicians who insulted Bubu. So invariably anybody can just wake up, criticize a thing and insult those involved. When the table turns around, they should expect the same thing

Public officers are insulted regularly, in fact in the US and the UK, it's a daily occurrence. They even have satirical TV shows and cartoons that does not flatter their leaders.

Even though I was never a fan of president Jonathan, the way he handled daily insults were exemplary.

Anyone who can't take insults should not run for public office in a democracy

edoairways:
Meaning if Fayose and others insulted Bubu then Wike should expect that. Invariably each persons will insult each other anything any day

Dud the person that insulted wike do so as a revenge for Fayose and others insulting Bubu?

LibertyRep:
Is it part of the executive order that the owner will also forfeit the land even after the structure has been demolished? I refuse to believe that the matter is just about flouting the lockdown order.

Samuel Doe and Idi Amin too once had supporters.

Only Samuel doe and Idi Amin, what of Abacha? Didn't they organise a 2 million man march for him?

shehuAO:
The GDI, will carry almost everybody in Nigeria to court for insulting Wike for his arrogant behaviors in demolishing the two giants hotels in portharcourt and confiscations of people's properties like cars, trailers, cows etc.Wike knew what he has done is wrong and he must answer and pay for them.ALL those GRA GRA noise he was making in the AIT yesterday was all rubbish defense,he will only succeed in wasting Rivers money.So, some disgruntled elements like this so called GDI can support this kind of crude behaviors from Wike and began to threaten Uwazurike to apologise within 24 hrs or what happened?Yeye dey smell, hungry is all over the land, but not a place like Rivers, except you just wants to be a boy boy like these groups calling themselves GDI.There is money in Rivers,if you really wants to work for it you will get it.Very lazy boy boy who wants to support bad governance.Wike's action on demolitions on this two giants hotels in portharcourt are totally condenmable by every reasonable good thinking person in the society.

Can't these all these people wike had either seized or destroyed their properties take the rivers state government to court? ( not the state high Court but the federal high Court, as the state high Court is in wike's pocket). The state government will be liable to pay damages long after wike has left office.

edoairways:
Meaning it is do me I do you

I hate it when people argue here, there and everywhere, without keeping to the subject matter. If we are talking about left or right, you bring up or down, we change position to up or down, you immediately start talking about north or south.
Wike's supporters threatened Uwazurike with violence for insulting wike, I pointed out that insults is part and parcel of public office, using the numerous insults buhari had received from the usual sources. You countered that they did not insulted Buhari but only criticized. I showed examples of what I considered to be insults. Now, you have changed gear to ask if "it's do me I do you".
In effect you are saying that if wike misbehaves, he should never be insulted, but it's OK to insult Buhari if he misbehaves. Buhari or his supporters have no rights to complain not to be accused of "do me I do you".

edoairways:
It doesn't warrant that either. Those aforementioned names are critics they rarely insult Buhari

Kanu called Buhari a terrorist and a pedophile.

Fayose carried out a front page advert in which he listed former Nigerian leaders who died in office and suggests that Muhammadu Buhari could be next.

Femi Fani-Kayode called Muhammadu Buhari a “curse, affliction and genocidal maniac” who loves conquest and oppression.
I don't want even go into the numerous insults by reno Omokri.
So you label these criticism and not insults?

Now compares these with the so called insults by Uwazurike on wike and tell me which is worse.

edoairways:
It doesn't warrant insults since you profer due process

Since the governor was insulted, does wike not have mouth to insult back? Or at worst, can't his goons insult Uwazurike back as retaliation? Why the physical threats?

Shebi, kanu, Fayose, FFK, Timi Frank and Reno Omokri has been insulting Buhari incessantly since 2015, who has threatened them with violence? Anybody that cannot take insults has no business running for office in a democracy.

ogbuefi677:
leave Biafra matter,you go burn top gasket oo

No be you people de involve everybody for una Biafra matter. You people that cannot mention the word Biafra without mentioning Yoruba immediately after. You people that have included all other tribes of the Niger Delta and beyond in your Biafra. You people that cries all the time that others are not fighting your Biafra for you. You now have the audacity to say leave Biafra alone.

Even the thread is about El Rufai who has nothing to do with Biafra.

We are now getting a glimpse of how kanu intends to rule Biafra. No need of the courts or judiciary. Just make a decree and be the judge, jury and executioner.
The could even be challenged at the courts and found to be unconstitutional, but then in kanu's and IPOB's minds, he is the constitution.

DCatt:
Exactly!

Blacks are just 13% of the population but 48% of the murder victims, 52% of the murderers and 95% of black murders are by fellow blacks.

Until black people are ready to tell themselves home truth, they will continue to go in circle.

Even if we were to accept your warped statistics, don't you think that the disproportionate number of violent crimes amongst Blacks is a symptom of centuries of the violent condition under which blacks lived in America? Don't you think limited educational, social and economic opportunities available to blacks in comparison with their while counterparts is responsible for the high poverty rate and thus higher crime rate among black communities?

Look at this statistics among blacks in the USA;

Among racial and ethnic groups, African Americans had the highest poverty rate, 27.4 percent, followed by Hispanics at 26.6 percent and whites at 9.9 percent.

45.8 percent of young black children (under age 6) live in poverty, compared to 14.5 percent of white children.
http://www.stateofworkingamerica.org/index.html%3Fp=4193.html

Should the US not be thinking of providing more educational and economic opportunities for the black communities instead of stereotyping them to justify their murder?

Finally, if you hate blacks so much that you consider them criminals, what are you doing in a black dominated forum?

obixcel:
Lol..so who's concerned with the spate of crimes amongst Blacks - killing each other and turning hundreds black children to orphans, and mothers to widows?. Who's crying out on their behalf and advocating for an end to dis carnage if really Black lives matter?

Why not take up the cause? Why not start an advocacy group that tackles black on black violence or white on white violence or even black on white violence? People form groups to highlight their area of interest? What's your area of interest. You can't be critical of others for not fighting your own cause, it sounds illogical

Black lives matter was formed to protest and highlight the disproportionate Police brutality and unfair treatments of blacks by mainly white Police officers. If you are angry for that, form another advocacy group that support and justifies Police brutality on black to counter them.

Originalsly:
What legal right does he have to authorize seizure of vehicles because of COVID-19? Why are you not yammering about the governor being above the law?...is it because he is a PDP and Igbo state governor?

And later on we will be wondering how he became a dictator.

That's my problems with my igbo brother's brothers, when it goes around the rejoice and claim superiority, but when it comes around, they wail and play the victim.

Tomorrow, if Buhari should use executive order to seize their planes, trucks and houses, they would should UN, UK, Hague, etc., but when any of their heros use the same executive order to seize Hausa or Yoruba properties, they would become ecstatic with joy.

GamalNasser:
One Kobojunkie and his fellow CNN puppets will not like this ,... Chloroquine and Artemisinin have consistently delivered a 99% cure rate and just yesterday an study showed chloroquine could even act as a very reliable prophylaxy by preventing infections in the first place especially for those at the Frontline but yet Satanic agents with an agenda and dull people are waiting for a hurry put together RNA vaccine that will not go through proper trial and is expected to kill 15% of it's users ....is this world not mad so?

Thats why I say trumpism split the cords connecting the left brain from the right causing trump worshippers to suffer from cognitive dissonance.
You insist that RNA vaccines to go through proper trails, but bark at the idea of hydroxychloroquine going through proper trials.

Where is the clinical trials and results that shows that hydroxychloroquine and artemisinin has 99%
Cure rate? Most reputable doctors and institutions have dismissed the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine in treatment and curing of coronavirus. Let's see the clinical trials.

Toluwarnih:
unlearned atheist won't believe the truth, YEC does not base its claim on what u think, it only uses the reference from the scripture as a backup of its already discovered facts

The same way it uses the scriptures as a back up for already discovered fact that the earth is flat

TheAfricaQueen:
Knowing how basic, rudimentary and barely literate our Non-leaders are, my reference to savings was the barest minimum they could have done with the oil wealth they accumulated in 64 years and they couldn't even achieve that.

Saving is not ideal for a country with so much infrastructural deficit among all other deficits. If they feel they are too incompetent to build infrastructures such as roads, power, railways, schools, hospitals, etc. They should have invested Nigeria's money in businesses abroad, which will earn Nigeria huge revenue for a very long time. UAE invested in numerous US ports and they rake in billions yearly. It is foolish to borrow money to build rails, roads and power at high interest rate and at the same time save for a rainy day

At the beginning of this democratic dispensation, governors like Tinubu, Ibori and Odili invested a few millions in Econet. A few years later the investment multiply many fold, but due to greed, the Governors sold the shares and pocketed the money. Imagine if the Governors had not sold the shares how much extra money would have been available to their states today. They would not cry if they did not receive oil allocations from Abuja.

TheAfricaQueen:
For 64 years Nigeria sold oil, there were many years of the oil boom, when a barrel was sold for at least 100 dollars a barrel and at most 160 dollars a barrel.

Why did Nigerian Non-leaders not save for a rainy day? Why did they not invest in a Sovereign Trust Fund that would accrue interest for Nigerians? They used the glory years of the oil boom to loot Nigeria into the dark ages and under-developed every sector in Nigeria.

Now that the sh!t is hitting the fan, it is the middle class, working class and people bellow the working class that will suffer. The Non-leaders have stockpiled monies enough for their generations yet unborn.

Vote wisely next time Nigerians, use your votes wisely, do not sell your votes for a bag of rice/5000 naira/free buffet food and drink on election day.

Very wrong. This is the world Bank and IMF stupid policy promoted by their lackeys like Okonjo-Iweala. A good business philosophy is not save save and save, it's invest invest and invest. IMF and world Bank never advice the industrialised world to save. It promotes investments in those places. U.A.E and Qatar did not lay much emphasis on saving, they invested their oil revenue massively around the world and in their own countries. Today, UAE does not even bother about oil.

If you save for a rainy day, what happens if the rains doesn't stop? What happens if it rains for years? You would exhaust your savings very quickly and still go abegging. What happens if the oil you rely on dries up, how long will your savings last you.

Besides, inflation always eventually catches up with savings but never with investments. The value of your savings diminishes year in year out.

Instead of Africa to be investing in infrastructure, agriculture, industries, health and education, we are talking savings.

I thought Yoruba said she is not Igbo? Kai Yoruba, yoruba!
https://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/lol_idi_amin.gif

You people are too obsessed with Yoruba. A thread that should be all about igbos, and you find a way to involved Yoruba. Now if Yorubas respond back, you will accuse the Yorubas of commenting on igbo affairs.

Now, instead of this thread to be a rallying point for igbos, it will quickly degenerate into a igbo vs Yoruba mud fest as usual.

SLAP44:
For Nigeria, the collapse is inevitable. The union forged in 1960 was a disaster from day one.

It will also collapse on your head and the head of your family, clan and tribe.

The union was forged and forced by your fathers and grandfathers, because they felt they will automatically get power to rule the whole country.
And after failing to grab power by democratic means, they attempted (and actually succeeded for 6 months) to take the forceful (military) route. After also failing to rule the whole of Nigeria by military route, they decided to split the baby they created in the first place.

At least before Obama goes to your 'imaginary prison', he busy acknowledging teachers on National Teachers Day and bringing smiles to their faces during this health emergency time. Can Trump be as proactive as Obama?

There’s no limit to the devotion I’ve seen in teachers like these @ChiPubSchools educators. Their dedication shapes the best parts of who we become. I couldn’t be more thankful for their work, especially as they shift lessons online to keep students on track during this crisis. pic.twitter.com/xYECcrAxdE

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) May 6, 2020

You have time to be arguing with schizophrenics, they exist in their own alternative universe.

I will just add theses facts;
Trump and most members of his organisation will go to jail ever before Obama.

Obama till today is far more popular and loved than Trump will ever be.

Obama beat trump in almost every metric of measurement, be it education, personal achievements, marital life, achievements as president, etc.
Trump cult worshippers might start commiting suicide because of Obama.

Beautifulminde3:
You ranting end here, it doesn't change the fact, go and study international waterways law, also read more about Danube river which more than 12 countries use, Danube empty in black Sea just like River Niger to Atlantic Ocean.

You guys (IPOB youths) are so ignorant and arrogant at the same time, I really feel pity for the average igbo. They really give the otherwise intelligent tribe a very bad name. I blame the elders for not educating their youths on the reality of things instead of letting them live in make believe world.

This poster is telling me international law will force a people or country to allow people they are not friendly with to pass through their waterways. I have not seen such agreements before. If these IPOB youths were old enough, they would have known that Abacha attempted to dredge the river niger all the way to Kaduna through Onitsha. Ijaw youths confronted the contractors and prevented them from dredging through their lands. Even Obasanjo attempted same, and was equally resisted by the ijaws.
You can read here to get a glimpse of the obstacles of dredging the river niger, even up to Onitsha;

River Niger dredging will cause trouble
The IMG has always opposed the dredging of the River Niger but the federal government has again commenced the project. The environmental impact assessment issues have not been resolved and the government wants to go ahead. We have rejected it again. We have also told communities along the River Nun to attack the dredgers to protect our environment. Government is looking for trouble and they will get it. The global climate change signal is enough for us to protect our heritage. No sane Ijaw man or woman will rely on the federal government EIA and allow dredging of River Niger.

We are back in court. Our lawyer, Femi Falana, and another Ijaw lawyer, Wilson Ajuwa, are back in court. The reasons I went to court during the military era are still there. The tsunami that destroyed the delta in Asia, where riverine communities in Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh among others were submerged with flood was a bitter lesson to mankind. So only a mad person from our region will accept the government’s EIA.

Our argument is clear. We will not allow any ship to sail past our communities from London, Japan, USA Canada or any part of the world to the proposed inland new port at Baro near Abuja, built with over N80 billion while all our seaports in Warri, Burutu, Akassa, Koko, Sapele are dead

These IPOB youths insulting other tribes as a reason and means of achieving secession have no idea on the intricacies and complexities of what secession entails.

Discipline is a leadership instrument when the leader is discipline there is no way a follower can be indiscipline and get away with it.

This is also the chicken and the egg situation. Which is responsible for which?
An indiscipline leadership causes indiscipline society or and indiscipline society leads to an indiscipline leadership.

Thejustw14:
With all due respect sir, is it not an act of indiscipline to suggest that the country be locked down for 2 months without palliative measures in place.:!!:.

We are in a catch 22 situation. Lockdown the country and the poor masses will die of starvation without adequate palliatives, or allow free movement and allow businesses to open and the masses will still die of sickness if social distancing and other disciplinary measures are not adhered to

Choose one.

sammyj:
This man must be high on something. How does this have to does COVID 19 pandemic got to do with anti corruption committee and the question we should be asking him is how do we feed the masses for two more months

When/if the masses starts falling sick and dying enmass because of Covid 19, the masses would be more bothered about surviving.

Abilistic:
Just like the Nigeria government is the CORRUPT and RECKLESS government on earth.


During this difficult period of Lockdown I make money sitting at home, check my signature

And the government is manned by who? - Nigerians.

I have been trying to understand the allegations and I still don't get it.

This is from the very first paragraph of the article;

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), on Monday, alleged that it has intercepted a human intelligence report that the Nigeria House of Representatives leadership was poised to forcefully pass the compulsory vaccine bill without subjecting it to the traditions of legislative proceedings.

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) said it has intercepted a human intelligence report. Can't someone explain what a human intelligence report mean?

Furthermore, as long and voluminous as the report is, it did not give any details about the bill. Is its supposed to be about vaccines in general or specifically about a coronavirus vaccine (as we know a coronavirus vaccine is not available yet, and not expected to be available for at least 1 year). As it is most children born in Nigeria are already vaccinated against polio, measles, small pox, etc. We really need to know the details of the bill before we start getting worked up.
