I remember being taught back then in secondary school via government studies that there's what we call "separation of powers".....

Now I'm a grown up and I've come to realize that most things we were taught in schools are only on paper but not applicable in real life....

Nigeria will never get better,not until our different arms of govt are made to operate separately without the other Meddling into the other's affairs..

ValCon888:
The problem with most of Africa, including the likes of Kenya and Nigeria is that these countries are historically embedded with tribal/ethnic/religious divisions.

These differences act as a catalyst for corruption and violence thereby hindering economic growth and prosperity. They also hinder the creation of powerful institutions and national systems anchored on meritocracy.

Without the above, it is nigh on impossible to create stable infrastructure that is critical for economic development.

Everyman for himself becomes the name of the game.

The political class are experts at this game, so they continue to divide and conquer us through religious and ethnic lines while they enrich themselves till perpetuity.

You can't cheat nature, age is nomore in favour of Tyson.

At least, by now he ought to have retired in the game of Boxing.

There was a time he ruled the boxing world.

Some other person(s) must continue from where he stopped

Come back in 500 years and the place will still be as it is. The story of a country.

Maybe he got your looks through frequent combing of his mother while pregnant.

As for me any I must run DNA on all my kids, there is nothing like trust again.

BlindAngel:
Good evening Nairalanders, few months ago I posted here regarding how my wife forced me into marriage that I wasn't in anyway ready for because she got pregnant. I posted about the regret I'm still battling until date, because the love isn't there from my own end and I'm also not in anyway attracted to her physically. I have told her severally that I want to option out of the marriage and not doing again but until date she has refused to let me go.

Back to the main point, my wife lost her dad this morning. Her deceased dad has two wife's and several concubines that gave birth to lots of children, my wife doesn't know some of her half brothers and sisters.

So I went to their family house this morning to console them. The eldest son of the family (her half brother) told me and another in law that we'd be the one to pay for mortuary expenses and casket, and when the burial is getting closer they'd give us a list of things to buy and we'd both bring one goats each.

To be brutally honest I wasn't mad because of this latest expense, I got furious immediately and right on the spot because of the pressure my wife pressured me into getting married to her, by now I'd have been totally free of these unnecessary expenses. More than 19 of her sisters, both biological and half sisters that has given birth, no single expense was listed for their man that they got pregnant for and has a child for. But I and the other in law that paid dowry are the one going through these unnecessary expenses.

So immediately he told me about everything, I charged at my wife right on the spot, right in front of her mom, her brothers, her sisters and some of her friends that came for condolence visit. I got so furious and started shouting at the top of my voice, I reminded her how she forced me into marriage that I'm not in anyway prepared and ready for, both physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially. (I have been reminding her regarding this almost on a daily basis and whenever we are quarreling.

I reminded her how she threatened me with suicide and our of fear of the unknown I wasted almost 4m in getting married to her. I told her that I'd have been free of these expenses if not for her pressure.

Immediately she burst into tears, and started crying endlessly.

Her mom and sisters started yelling at me and I yelled back at all of them. They told me I met her a Virgin and now she's no longer good for me (truly, the whole family thought that I was the one that took her virginity) My wife and I agreed to keep it a secret, but the constant remainder from her mom and sisters made me let the cat out of the bag, I told them that I didn't met her a Virgin that she has already started having sex when I met her, they didn't believe me but with my tone, I know they'd.

I also made mentioned that I'm not buying any goat or paying for mortuary or taking any list from them. That it's their dad and they should take care of every responsibilities, after all he has uncountable children, why putting some of the expense on me? I walked away, and switched off my phone until now that I'm just putting it on.

I know that I acted wrongly and allowed my anger to get the best part of me. But I was furious because no single bill went to her sister's baby father's, absolutely nothing was listed for them. I got furious because these expenses won't be on me right now if not for her pressuring me into marriage that I want ready for. I was furious because I and the other in law that they billed became the scape goat by doing the right thing by getting married and not leaving theirs daughter In ruins, where as those that got their daughter pregnant without getting married to them were totally free from these unnecessary bills. I'm in so much pains and regret right now.

nairalanda1:
Oga, you have tried. The thing is, most Nigerians don't want to see what you see.

Many Nigerians think that revenue from 1.3 m bpd of crude can finance a nation of 200 million people, all we need to do is 'fight corruption' and the money would be enough. Meanwhile, our budget before looting is a mere 33 trillion naira, which can't even feed one region.

I don't blame Nigerians. People have suffered. We are a poor nation. But at the end of the day, the honest truth is, there isn't enough cash to run this nation. About the only thing corruption does is to make the little money we have even less...ie waste the little money we have.

People dey praise our past leaders for keeping naira strong, forgetting that they borrowed to do the thing...and the reason why we can't keep doing that is that our debt would eat our revenue and even our future money.

Anyway, I know tinubu won't listen to the IMF...he will borrow and borrow....because that is the way to win votes. NO nigerian leader is going to widen the tax net, because he or she would be kicked out in minutes. Nigerians are allergic to the truth. When you tell them the truth on this site, na to abuse you well well, and call you agbado them go do.

mrvitalis:
I have said it here for over 2 years , property tax is what is used to fund bulk of budget around the world

Every state can earn 300 billion minimum yearly from property tax

Lagos and Anambra can earn trillions


And this would always wake the people up and get them more involved in politics

Vlibray:
See this mumu man

Flangelo12:
I said what I said.

It's not a high paying job.

That's about 52k a year.

That's 3410 per month net.


Rent 1.3k

Bus - not likely.

Not reliable. Distance is far. Not 24/7 in most districts.

She'll need a car.

Hoopty 4k.

It would breakdown frequently.

Flangelo12:
Bro, that's a low paying job.

Wherever she lives in the world , she'll be living from hand to mouth.

Yes, better than low paying jobs in Nigeria.

Not something to really celebrate.

KaptainAfrika:
Nice skit, does that man look like someone that can remove 100k for DNA test. Abeg park well.

DomPerignon:
That volume of cash is better off being removed from circulation to undo the fiat printing of Emefile.

We have #50 Trillion in cash floating out there with over 70% of that volume printed from thin air by Emefile & Sons Printing Press that was mismanaging our monetary policy in the CBN.

Get rid of that excess cash and see inflation come down fast.

LegendHero:
Subsidy is gone

They should instead request for more investment in agriculture so middle belt can produce enormous food and set themselves as the true food producers of the nation.

They should ask for more healthcare, better facilities, and etc.

Subsidy is gone!!

BigDawsNet:
Then they should reverse it nah... atleast it will.ease the suffering in Nigerian

And this will restored the lost middle class in nigeria

BigDawsNet:
Can dollars to naira get back tk 450 bank rate if reversed

Anither563:
He is really wishing them well. He knows that they will be back one day.

richmond500:
She said marriage proposals comes but they are from the wrong people.

Those that wants u are wrong people, who told u those that u want doesn't see u as a wrong person?
I remember a lady in her 30 too, my friend was so serious with her but she cheated on him and fell in love with a playboy, my friend was devastated, the playboy came for the pvssy only. 3months later the playboy dumped her. whenever I see her, I just hold a silent prayer that she never gets married

OboOlora:
I agree, although some people will justify their earnings with endorsements, blablabla but we all know it's all lies!
As a matter of fact, some of these celebrities even pay brands to serve as their ambassadors just so they can add many names to their IG page. My cousin that has a hair brand has been approached by DestinyEtiko before to be her ambassador for free lol

The entertainment industry is 'the more you look, the less you see'

From the story of HerTeeCoup yanshing Genevieve for paay to HAlex HAYkubo being smashed by g*y men for money, you can understand how they live the jet life.

Or who de sew native for Lagos now wey Yomi Casual de use 2021 Toyota Land cruiser?

E ma tan ra yin je lol

Thissystem:
Lol, I think Peter Obi’s statement was taken out of context

NairaMaster1:
You people's analysis is like those of the polling Nostradamus.

If Russia is this powerful would they need men from Korea? Would they need arms from Iran, Korea and China?

Have you ever heard where America requested arms from a third party?

Idye:
Honestly you're smart. I didn't want to make nairalanders feel I'm a weakling. The dog almost ate my little baby of almost two years. Na just God help us dat day. Do u know that whenever those dogs try to bite people, and they manage to escape, the owners will be laughing at them.

As for the 12yrs old boy whose penis was bitten off, na my neighbor

Lanretoye:
God will punish the spokesman who said the late COAS was on leave,that’s why people in position keep leing and deceiving those who entrust them in that capacity.if you don’t pay for it,your children and children’s children will pay for it.how do you win war against ordinary boko haram without one iota of sincerity and diligence
If no be say they must bury him according to Muslim rites una for no talk,God pass una useless people wey dey take us for a ride.
You may have power over the people but death will win you and that’s a shame on you.

lereinter:
Lying about what?

LordIsaac:
Speaking English and saying nothing!

Funkyswagzz:
You know when they tell you to endure it will get to a point you stop complaining and accept whatever comes to you. This is exactly what people in Lagos did during tinubu term as the governor. I've never seen a set of gullible people like the yorubas in my life

kingbee90:
One reason sir,
Donald Trump will definitely expose Amoda Ogunlere masking as Bola Ahmed Tinubu which is a stolen identity.
