BIXYBABE:What do you mean "where wil she stay"? Where was she staying before she got married? She obviously did not fall from the sky. Where will she stay if the man drives her out of his house, will she sleep on the streets? I hate this idea that once a woman gets married, all her existence is dependent on the man. |
LoneWolf200:And real prophets don't have failed marriages? Do you know how many men of God have allegations of adultery hanging on their necks? |
miss00000:I usually don't give relationship advice, because you freely entered into the relationship with your eyes wide open. Besides people don't tend to take advices on relationship as emotion tend to reign supreme over reason. But I will try and give you be best advice I can. The blame is from both of you. You dated the guy for 7 years and not get to know the kind of person he is. He was also in a 2 year relations (half of when you were still dating and before marriage), and you did not suspect. Girl you must be the most naive girl on the planet. The other area I blame you is that you seem not to have added value to your self and also to the relationship. What do you contribute to the financial and material progress of the family? When I tell you young ladies that we men prefer women that can either help our careers, or help us financially (no matter how small) in running the home, some ladies would insult us and call us half men. They see men and marriage as ticket to free launch and free every thing else. Some wives expect the man to bring home the bacon, pay all bills, withstand constant nagging and stress and still be superman in bedroom duties. It may be the painful truth, but your husband see the other woman as contributing more to his success than you and thus feels indebted to her. Now the way forward.... The decision lies with you and you alone. You have two choices, either live and cope with the situation or leave. If you decides to leave, then you need to improve yourself. You need to dust up your certificate and look for a job. You could also learn a skill, nowadays skills pay much more than certificate jobs. With the right skills you could start a business. Discuss your decision with your family to see how and if they can help you move ahead. Your family could arrange a meeting with your husbands family to finalise issues. It's not going to be easy, but you need to quit crying and put yourself together. Since you only have one child and you are still young, finding a future partner would not be too difficult. ...my 2 kobo. |
Doyin2:No one is talking about denying citizens their right to religious obligations, what we are talking about is subsidising religious obligation. Pilgrimage is religious tourism, which is a personal obligation. The government have no business selling dollars at subsidised rate to people going on personal religious obligations. |
You people saying that Buhari does not have the power to order the CBN to stop selling forex to food importers, answer this question; Does Trump have the powers to unilaterally order a 25% tarrif on Chinese goods imported into the US without reference to the Federal Reserve, the Customs Service or even the Congress? |
Champneys:No central bank in this world is absolutely independent, it is always under the control of the executive. In the US Trump is at loggerheads with the Federal Reserve chairman over interest rate cuts and the tarrif (trade) war with China. I feel the order is on point and Buhari should go on further to give more support for local farmers to meet our local food needs. Now, tell me, why should our food importers depends solely on the FG for dollars to import food into the country? Can they source their dollars elsewhere? Mallam's don finish for streets or bureau de change don't finish? It's time for them to be creative. They can export Nigerians items abroad and use the dollars earned to import the food they like, after all importation of food was not banned. The government is forced to subsidise fuel because it is essential to the economy and there are no substitutes. If fuel was not subsidised, and fuel rises to unbearable levels, it will lead to social unrests, which is capable of bringing down the government. The only thing that can unify Nigerians against any government is high petrol prices. I agree that subsidising pilgrimages is unnecessary and unreasonable. It's just a waste of scarce resources, but then Nigeria is a very religious country and the various governments scores some political points with sponsoring and subsidising pilgrimages. |
CoolAmbience: |
nototribalist:And if there is acute shortage of dollars to fund essential imports such as medicines and petrol leading to the crash of the naira and subsequent hyper inflation, who will you blame? The central bank governor? |
gidgiddy:You guys are adept at comparing oranges and apples and then use it to twist fact to justify your own flaws. How can anyone compare Diya's, Obasanjos and others alleged coup to the bloodiest coup in the history of Nigeria (if not Africa ). This was a coup where top civilian and military officers were murdered in cold blood, while those of the East were spared. Ironsi had no excuse for going a full six months without putting the murderous coup plotters to trial. The question that you should ask is why Ojukwu seceded. In 1966, thousands of Easterners were being massacred. Leaders of the Eastern Nigeria went to Ojukwu and told Ojukwu to pull the East out of Nigeria since the Federal Government had failed to secure the lives and properties of Easterners. Ojukwu refused and told them that he would meet with Gowon to iron out issues. In January 1967, Ojukwu met Gowon in Aburi, Ghana. They reached an agreement that would keep Nigeria one and maintain peace. Ojukwu and Gowon and signed the agreement. They returned to Nigeria and Gowon broke the agreement. This forced Ojukwu to secede.which leaders went to Ojukwu and told him to pull out of Nigeria? Was it political, military, or traditional leaders. What authority did the leaders have to tell Ojukwu to secede? If Gowon had kept to the agreement and Ojukwu seceded, then you can blame Ojukwu. But by breaking that agreement, Gowon caused all the trouble that followedThere was no way Gowon could have kept the Aburi Accord. He did not understand the full import of the agreement before he signed it. It was after he Gowon got back to Lagos, that awolowo and others explained the implication of the Aburi accord. The agreement had the same implication as secession, since the east would not be under the control of the FG. Other regions would also have demanded autonomy and subsequent balkanization of the country. |
Trained to kill who? innocent citizens, their families, their friends or their fellow colleagues? If they are trained to kill everybody they see, why are their wives and children still alive? When it comes to killing the actual people they are trained to kill, they run and take cover. |
Guestlander:Fayose is a coward. He only had mouth when he had immunity. Since he lost that immunity, he has been quiet like a dumb and deaf man. It was the same thing the time as governor under Obasanjo. After he left he went to beg Obasanjo. |
Deepthoughts:It's not going to happen that both parties present igbo candidates for president. It would even be impossible for either PDP or APC to present an igbo candidates. The igbos don't have much political capital at the moment. They don't have one political figure they can unify under, not even 10. They don't have a discernable political agenda. Some want Biafra, some want president, others want political appointments ,others still want physical and economic developments. Then worse still, there is voter apathy in the south east. So the voting strength in the East is poor, even when compared to the south south. The presidency was not given to the yorubas on a platter of gold. They have been fighting for it from the time of Awolowo culminating in the June 12 impasse. The north was presented with no choice but to concede power to the south west. Where is the igbo struggle for power. After the January 1966 coup and take over by general ironsi, we have not seen a strong igbo bid for power - both politically or otherwise. |
Deepthoughts:I hope you are igbo, then I will have hope that you guys are beginning to learn from your political blunders. The Yorubas had also made many political blunders in the past ( it was yoruba political blunder that gave us Abacha ), they learnt and made progress. The question is how are these political blunders being corrected in order to give the south east more political relevance? |
chikeson2000:Are you suggesting we just gift the south east the presidency without them working for it? Were the other regions gifted the presidency? The only region that had the presidency so far without suffering for it was the south south, and it was both as a result of Obasanjo's political calculations and a twist of fate. |
What of the people that killed Femi Fani-Kayode's father? Should he not demand an apology from those that took his father away in his presence and murdered him like an ileya ram? Is Femi Fani-Kayode saying his father's murder did not in anyway saddened him? Or that he is more pained by the death of others than his own father. |
Crixxx:I never knew Shehu Sani is a Yoloba man. |
gaskiyamagana:Which Oyel does Biafra want to run away with? |
ukahrawah:What do you mean by " When you ignore the South East and starts to campaign for Tinubu"? Do you want people to go to the living rooms of South Easterners and beg them with the presidency? If the south Easterners truly want the presidency, they need to work hard for it, by lobbying other Nigerians and other regions. Even if it's Biafra they want, they also need to lobby other Nigerians instead of shouting on radio and social media. Tinubu has been going up and down lobbying for the president to come to the Southwest after Buhari's tenure. El rufai is also lobbying for the North to retain it. What are my people doing (South South and South East) outside making noise on social media for the presidency to be gifted to them? |
nazablossom:It's only a game, but just like football some people take it too personal. |
nazablossom:I honestly don't care who wins. I was just surprised the speed at which Mike pulled out the shoe lace the very first time, then subsequently show laces gave him some difficulty. It may be that all the shoe laces were not tied the same way and he was lucky. My wife actually support Mike and we have been arguing on this also. |
Threebear:Believe me I am much more educated than you. Today being a public holiday, my wife and family made me watch the big brother challenge. Your rant betrays the fact that you enjoy spewing personal insults online on impersonal matters to make yourself feel important. I just gave my impersonal opinion as I have no stake whatsoever in who ever wins. |
Vyolet:I wish someone recorded the shoe lace challenge so we could watch it again. I was surprised at the ease Mike pulled out the first shoe lace the first time without much effort, then subsequent ones gave him some difficulty. The same thing happened again in the tie break, Mike just pull the lace and it came out and was already at the pole while sir D was still struggling to undo his shoe lace. |
codedguy1:Mike was not faster. I believed the laces were rigged to favour Mike. The way Mike undid the first shoe lace, it showed it was not tied beyond the first pair of holes, while sir d's shoe lace was laced through all the holes. Mike simply pulled the shoe lace and it just came undone. That was exactly what happened in the initial challenge. The first lace came undone with a simple pull. It was that first lace that gave Mike the advantage to win the first time. |
sunboy:Imagine the guy was an immigrant, especially an illegal one, trump would have proven his invasion theory and sent the marines, special forces and the army to the border to stop the invaders. If he was Muslim, it would have been a terrorist attack and Trump would have justified his Muslim ban. But if since he is white, the incident is described as a mass shooting by a mentally unstable youth. |
namio10:The usual tribal divide tactics. Never knew El Zakzaky is a southern activist. Anybody that challenges the authority of any government would elicit strong reaction, and I mean any government around the world. No matter how Democrats, minorities and Muslims hate trump, non of them have come out to challenge his authority as president. |
dotunbidemi:Then why not protest against Herdsmen and Bokoharam as Obi Ezekwesili protested against Jonathan's handling of Chibok girls? Why is he advocating for illegal change of government? |
Gbengaolowe32:I wish sowore is in Russia. I trust Putin, he will not even bother with court process. polonium-210 or Novichok things. |
Mdaz:Uncivilised State? He should go to US and say he is going to join forces with Muslims and Immigrants to bring down the government of Donald Trump, then you will know the real meaning of uncivilised state. |
Truckpusher:Tyrant? Go to US and say you are going to join forces with Muslims and Immigrants to bring down the government of Donald Trump, then you will know the real meaning of tyrant. |
o42austino:Any you are an elite special ops officer? Nigerians are so arrogant and ignorant at the same time. It's only Nigerians that know football more than Pep Gardiola and Jose Mourino added together, without having kicked a ball in their life. The US of course will deploy special ops guys to survey the positions and direct the planes where to drop the gas bombs. They special ops guys would have taken out some of the Boko fighters. These operations are usually planned with high level of precision and there is chance for failure. Everything must be taken into consideration ie, exacts positions of enemy fighters, weather, timings, etc. These type of strategy is used in freeing hostages in a confined space. |
talktimi:This report was common knowledged then, and was the reason the US did not trust the Jonathan government. Newsrecue is not giving any new classified information. How could Boko Haram have known about the plan to use gas when the Americans only briefed very high ranking officials. If Jonathan was competent, he should have immediately sacked all service chiefs and apologised to the Americans. |
TheGoodJoe:And what makes you think ordinary street protest would make Buhari or any other African president resign? How will protests bundle a president out of office? |
