BRATISLAVA: If you do not practice what you preach, why do you want to deny other men the comforts of a wife? If it were so horrific being married, you would've damned the consequences and left your marriage. But you haven't.
Then it must be good, a good achievement for a man to be married. Let everyone enjoy that good part of it, too.
This person is obviously a woman. I can see you from a mile away. Una sabi deceive una self, even in another man’s reality.
SisterAnn: If you have ever done business with a Nigerian politician, you won't say the woman is lying.
The money was 35m then according to her, it was inflation that made 250m.
I have a couple of them still owing me for luxury goods worth 3m and 3.5m in 2014.
As soon PDP fell off the national grid, they have refused to pay me till date and I let it be.
I let it be because, what I have benefitted from both clients is way more than what they owe and refused to pay.
One is related to Akpawaist.
The other an appointee of Akpawaist when he was governor.
These politicians are mean forget.
And for umahi, forget, dude na devu during his time as governor.
I’m not stupid. I can never ever trust a politician, neither can I trust a woman sounding like her. She backed her story with Umahi wooing her to sleep with her. I’m sorry, but that’s the ringtone of a lying woman. We were all here when a woman came online to cry that she has proof that the husband was sleeping with their daughters. Not even one daughter o! The man was paralyzed with speechlessness, because it was a lie. That’s how far women can go.
ElevationD: So if you ignore women because they lie, what do you want to say about men and particularly politicians who are chronic liars? Have you forgotten that there’s a leader called Lai Mohammed in this country, who told us that his own grandson asked him why he was called a liar? Why should you believe the words of known men liars and disbelieve women?
He claims to have become a multimillionaire at 19 and this has become a challenge to him. Even if the woman was lying against him, why allow it to fester since 2014? For me, what irritates him is that the woman accused him of wanting to sleep with her by all means. Umahi fear damage to his family and reputation. How does taking her to court where the judiciary has severally been accused of corruption help the matter?
The arrogance of David Umahi is the part of him that should not continue. If the lady does not have her evidences, she’ll not be stressing him out to pay what he owes her.
I didn’t say I ignore the woman in my comment. I wasn’t there when it happened. It’s her word vs Umahi’s. Politicians and women have lied before. The court is already handling it.
ElevationD: What an irresponsible example from the ever arrogant David Umahi. By effect he has labeled Senator Natasha as an accuser of men.
If he does not owe the woman, she’ll not be calling him out. The sum talked about is not little. Some wicked leaders never want to pay for what they owe.
He deserves a very brutal response from Senator Natasha.
Attention must not be diverted to the war in the Middle East. If the woman did not deserve his attention, why get the police to arrest her all the way in Enugu and bring her to Abuja. Unfortunately for the arrogant man, he met Sowore and Senator Ireti Kingibe on ground. If she does not have evidence of the debt, she’ll not be calling him out.
The analogy by Umahi is disturbing, but it won’t be the first time a woman is lying, if she actually is. You can’t just conclude that she’s calling him out because the accusations are true. I’m not a fan of Umahi, but I have learned not to believe the words that comes out of a woman’s mouth until I see tangible proof. The case is already in court. We will see what happens.
Orlandoo: Irrelevant non entity using Obi's name to get attention.
It hurts me to see that people like Peter Obi is making it hard to remove Tinubu from power. He caused that division amongst the opposition and he’s about to do it again. Very uncalculating individual.
RichBoy247: Atikulation, take heart. JAGABAN no be una Mama’s mate for this game.
Even Donald Trump wey you cried to, Tinubu don put am inside pocket. Now Tinubu is extorting America by collecting money from them in the name of security and collaboration. Money wey Tinubu and his boys dey use do Owambe parties.
Atikulation, we don strip you nakked for Yola Central market
sirchim: If you like blow English pass Oxford dictionary, your husband can never ever win a FREE and FAIR election. If na lie give us real time transmission of our votes.
This is another way of saying you’ve given up on 2027 elections. It is well o.
But honestly these is what opposition is supposed to be doing- putting structures in place, both formal and informal.
Atiku and Co are they whining upadan on one issue or the other rather than seriously giving APC a run for their money.
I'm so disappointed in them... maybe they think taking power from Tibunu will be child's play or taking candy from a kid.
I disappoint gan especially in atiku... obi I know before has never been creative. I don't think atiku genuinely believes he can win afterall he has given his best shots. This is his poorest attempt. Deep down inside maybe he has given up. Abi na old age sef!
I’m a big supporter of Atiku and voted for him in 2023 cos I think he had a better chance to defeat Tinubu than anyone else. But y’all gave Tinubu the votes when you voted for Peter Obi and Atiku should be worried about the same thing happening again. I’m sure that’s why he’s not optimistic this time.
LegendHero: Me self shock say PDP with all their issues won one of the areas.
ADC the noisemaker can’t even win any. Na so so social media noise they sabi.
If we conduct poll now on nairaland, na ADC go win. But on ground, they are non-existent.
I’m just tired. Can’t these new parties see that they are dividing the strength of the opposition🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️ It almost feels like Peter Obi is being paid by Tinubu, because what is this🤷🏻♀️. He’s the reason Tinubu won in 2023 and he’s poised to do it again in 2027.
FatimaAbubakar: Signs of how they plan to rig 2027 elections. Political fraudsters.
Tinubu is a demon. My only joy is that everything I predicted in 2023 has come to pass. I warned everyone that listen. Vote Atiku, so that he can clear a pathway for Obi, you’ll said no. I told y’all, once Tinubu enter, it is finished. Even in 2031. By then the country would be in his pocket, and he’ll run it like he did Lagos. See as governors dey decamp left right center. I absolutely blame all those myopic Obidients.
JoeEeL: With all her love songs u think she's bitter towards men?
Also she's happily married na, I think?
True, they are mostly single. But some lucky ones get to meet a few limited glorified simp like Adekunle Gold. Do you know she was into Falz at first. Once they smell any slight masculinity, na otilo.
Simi is someone I genuinely dislike. People like her will continue promoting this feminist ideology until she has a son of her own. Always bitter towards men. Only glorified simps can survive this type of people.
ispreloaded: lemme correct u... During the primaries wike was leading atiku ...then of a suddenly he was betrayed by atiku broda tambuwal.... The guy resigned and passed all his delegate to atiku ....that's where the real problem of pdp started..... Trust was lost among the heavyweight... Sheeps where turned into a beast,.... normally Tambuwal delegate was suppose to cast their vote but they planned wike thinking they'll go Scot free after that.... after they announced atiku the winning....the sheep that was feeding pdp turned beast against atiku and his gangs ....then boom G5 emerg from nowhere and the rest was history.
Dude, you’re actually making my point for me. Wike was outwitted by Atiku. You don’t have to describe it to me. Every Nigerian knew what happened. When they called politics a game, what did you think they meant 🤷🏽♂️
SmartPolician: The media is intentionally making Sen Natasha look bad but someone like that can never lose an election because her district is feeling the impact of her quality representation
But this thing I’m watching here isn’t Ai na. Why is it always her🤷🏽♂️
Putindbutt: His soul is already in APC, just a matter of time. Remember this is Atiku's state and this Governor is really dealing with him. He has stripped Atiku off the title of Waziri. Atiku is no longer Waziri of Adamawa, if you addressed him as Waziri, you're committing a crime.
This coming election, Atiku is going to lose in Adamawa state 100%. Fintiri is cutting him down to size. He did not join Atiku in ADC and also took all PDP structures in the state away from Atiku long before Atiku ran away to ADC.
Atiku, Kwankwaso, Elrufai, these were once the godfathers in their state but today, they have been rendered irrelevant by their godsons. They believe if you want to work against Tinubu, you're our enemy because no godfather has been able to give us the kind of moral, political and financial support and freedom of Governance like Tinubu.
Tinubu sees all the Governors as friends and partners unlike OBJ who bullied and harassed them. Even till date, Tinubu extends hands of fellowship to his old class of 99 and invite them over to Aso rock for dinner and brainstorming.
Why do you think two major political allies of Peter Obi refused to join him in ADC?. Obi has nothing to offer them, not even leadership. Gov Otti did not follow Obi and his body language supports Tinubu for second term. You also heard him support the President tax reforms.
Obi's former VP candidate also refused to follow him and his body language is gradually tilting towards Tinubu. This same Datti Ahmed was one of the biggest critics of Tinubu. He was on TV inciting the judiciary against swearing in Tinubu. He has also on several occasions violently attacked the President. And recently, the President approved Baze Aviation University for him. I believed he was shocked, he couldn't believe it.
Then he came out this week to say no opposition leader has the common sense like President Tinubu!.
Bro, Tinubu is a different breed, he doesn't play politics of bitterness and vendetta. As long as you don't incite the people in a violent and bloody revolution in your criticism, you're good to say whatever you want.
And this is why Bitter people and election losers do not understand why people from all walks if life love Tinubu and are gravitating towards him. They think hate and bitterness is the key to victory but they don't know that Success does not mix with hate and bitterness. And that's why their defeat in 2027 will be a special day for me and all lovers of Nigeria.
I’m really hoping you did “copy and paste” here, cos if you spent your time in writing this crap, then you need a job .
narite: …If this was the purpose of school all from the start, no parent would have wasted mental, physical efforts and even taking some risks to send their children to school, things some parents still do today. Education can be gotten from home, church etc
The idea of school started during the industrial revolution, when industrialists needed a form of specialized labour to work in their factories, in exchange for a piece of money.
It all about money, life has always been all about money. It a biological design. Over many centuries, this human desire has not changed, it is how we obtained it that continues to change; the means, the technology, the philosophy we use that changes.
From being a warrior, to farmer, to trader, to scholar, to builder and now to this new age we are currently witnessing….
In every Ages, Those who quickly see the trends and jump on it, either by jumping on it themselves or sending their children along that part while they themselves clings to old ways of doing things usually go on to become the tycoon of that Age, they stay at the apex due to their early advantage.
It either one adapt or one die, this goes on forever. It is the painful process of evolution.
Don’t allow poverty deceive you. The whole concept of money is just a social construct. If you’re sending your child to school for majorly landing big jobs and making money, you’re behind. Creating value, thinking cognitively and independently, adaptability in a changing world are things you must learn from a wide range of experienced tutors to grow into a formidable character.
Toolegit123: Daddy freezy just confirmed that las las school is a scam, especially the Nigerian higher institutions. . And I kinda agree with him on that. Coz you can't expect someone like peller who's already doing well in his field to come and join you in your universities where majority of your lecturers would be milking him
School wasn’t designed to make you money. You go to school for knowledge. It is a must for everyone to be educated. If I’m being honest, I’ve only met a handful of people that needs to be educated more than the Peller dude.
ottersberger: If a woman is continually intimidated, denied the opportunity to express her opinions, and bullied by misogynistic attitudes, which unfortunately many Nigerian men still display, then she has every right to become assertive in demanding to be treated with respect and to be heard. And if that requires speaking up forcefully or engaging in an argument, so be it.
No one is intimidating her. Imagine if your mother is always arguing with people in the church for her right to speak every time, won’t you be ashamed. Even if she has something sensible to say, do it professionally. That man holding the hammer and shutting her up means he’s the leader in that delegation. Can’t she respect him, then find other amicable ways to air her views. This woman eh!🤦♀️
Kobojunkie: Islam is definitely known as the religion that subjugates and humiliates women, stripping them completely of choice and freedom, all because they were born in a body different from yours and from Mohammed's. That's all!🥱🥱
I knew you were somewhere lucking. So being a virtuous woman is humiliating 🤷🏽♂️💁🏻♀️ This is about everything a good woman should be and more, but you would certainly disagree. You need help o.
dominique: Imagine if the mother had not died and one of these children become a famous celebrity and wants nothing to do with him. He will go and start granting interviews and crying to the cameras that his children are avoiding him. How can you be alive and chose not to be actively involved in your children's lives?
All this talk about their mother blocking him from seeing them are bloody lies and utter balderdash. Did she lock them up in a vacuum chamber and made them inaccessible? You're in the same country for goodness sakes, why not take her to court if truly she was preventing you from seeing them?
She's dead now, you know she can't defend herself, you now want to use the same lame excuse men have been using for decades for refusing to be in their children's lives. Kolewerk!
We know all this manipulative tact. No man would abandon his biological children if they ain’t frustrated to doing so. There’s this woman in my neighborhood, she has poisoned the mind of a 6year old to express hate when her father comes anywhere near her. It is disgusting to see. If the future, this f**lish child would claim the father abandoned her.
Kobojunkie: I am 74. Five years ago, at 69, I left my husband after 42 years of marriage. It was the hardest and best decision I ever made. I know what you are thinking. 69...is that not too late to start over? Why would anyone leave a marriage after more than four decades? She must be unstable. She must be selfish. She must be having some kind of crisis.
Maybe it looks that way from the outside, but inside, I could finally breathe. If you're in an unhappy marriage, worried about wasted time or age, hear me. I believed those lies, too. Before I share why I left, let me explain why I stayed so long, the untold part.
Everyone wants to know what finally made you leave. They never ask about the invisible chains that keep you there year after year. I got married at 27. It was 1979. We were living just outside Cleveland, Ohio. I thought I was doing everything right. My husband Thomas was dependable. He had a steady job. He came from a good family. My parents approved. My friends said I was lucky. I wore a white dress and believed in forever.
The problems did not arrive loudly. They arrived quietly. There was no violence, no obvious betrayal, nothing you could easily point to and say, "This is wrong." He simply did not see me. did not really hear me. Did not ask what I wanted or needed. Every major decision was his, where we lived, how money was spent, what our weekends looked like. When I suggested something different, he brushed it aside. That is impractical. That does not make sense. Why would we do that?
Eventually, I stopped suggesting anything at all. I remember one night, maybe six years into the marriage, I told him I wanted to go back to school. I had always wanted to finish my degree in English literature. He smiled and laughed, not cruelly, just dismissively, like I had said something naive. "What would you even do with that?" he asked. "We cannot afford that right now." There was always something more important. His career, the house, the car payments, everything except me.
I told myself this was marriage, compromise, sacrifice, and being realistic. My mother had stayed in a quiet, unhappy marriage. So had my grandmother. This was just what women did. Then we had children, two daughters, and suddenly staying felt noble. “I am doing this for them,” I told myself. They need stability. They need both parents. I poured everything into being a mother. If I could not be seen as a woman, at least I could be needed as a mother.
For a while, that was enough. The girls kept me busy. They distracted me from how lonely I felt lying next to someone who felt more like a roommate than a partner. Thomas and I became polite strangers. We attended school events together, went to church, and hosted holiday dinners. From the outside, we looked fine, respectable, stable. But inside the house, we barely spoke. Whole weekends passed, where we moved around each other like ghosts, sharing space, never connecting.
I remember our 25th anniversary. our daughters through a party. Friends raised glasses and spoke about our beautiful marriage and lasting love. I smiled. I thanked everyone. And that night, I went home with a man I no longer loved. Lay on my side of the bed and cried silently into my pillow.
The years kept going. The girls grew up, moved out, and built lives of their own. And suddenly my reason for staying was gone. They did not need me to stay anymore. But by then, I had a new reason. What would people think? I was 56, then 61, then 66. We shared our history, friends, and family. How do you untangle over 40 years? How do you tell your children their childhood was built on quiet unhappiness? And practically, how does a woman in her late 60s start over? I had not worked full-time in decades. I did not have my own income. So, I stayed year after year, telling myself it was too late, too complicated, too frightening, until the call from my doctor.
I was 68. It was a routine mammogram. I had done dozens before. This one was not routine. He said the word no one is prepared to hear. Cancer, breast cancer, stage two, caught early, but serious surgery, possibly radiation. I sat there listening to treatment plans and statistics, and all I could think was I am going to die having never really lived. Not because the prognosis was bad. It was not. But because I suddenly realized something unbearable. I had been slowly disappearing for decades.
The surgery was scheduled three weeks later. And in those three weeks, something shifted inside me. fear, clarity, and the awareness of time. All the reasons I had stayed, reputation, comfort, and fear, suddenly felt meaningless. Because if I died tomorrow, the last 40 years of my life would have been a performance.
I survived the surgery. The cancer was removed. Recovery was quiet. I remember lying in that hospital bed while my husband sat nearby scrolling through his phone, not holding my hand, not speaking, just present in body. And I knew at 69 years old, I made a decision. If I were lucky, I might have 10 or 15 years left. And I refused to spend them slowly disappearing.
Two months later, I told Thomas I wanted a divorce. He did not get angry. He looked confused. We have been married over 40 years, he said. Exactly, I replied. And I have been lonely for almost all of them.
The divorce took nearly a year. It was painful, expensive, and uncomfortable. Some friends disappeared. My sister told me I was selfish. "You are throwing everything away," she said. But I was not throwing anything away. I was finally choosing myself.
Telling my daughters was the hardest part. They were grown by then in their late 30s. They were shocked. But you and Dad always seemed fine, one of them said. That broke my heart because it meant I had hidden my unhappiness so well that even my children believed it was normal. Eventually, they understood. One of them even thanked me. She said watching me choose myself gave her permission to question her own life.
At 70, I moved into my own apartment alonefor the first time in my life. I was terrified. I woke up at night wondering if I had ruined everything. But I did not fall apart. I learned. I adjusted. And slowly I remembered who I was. The woman who loved books, who had opinions, who had dreams. I even went on a date. It did not last, but it reminded me that it is never too late to feel seen.
I am 74 now. My life is not perfect. My apartment is small. My income is modest. Sometimes I am lonely, but I am free. And that freedom is worth more than anything I lost.
Here is the truth. No one tells you the regret is not about leaving. The regret is about not leaving sooner. If you are watching this and quietly unhappy at any age, hear this. You are not too old. It is not too late. And you have not invested too much time. The life you are waiting for is waiting for you to choose it.
If this story touched something in you, I want to ask you one thing. What is one fear that has kept you stuck longer than it should have? You do not have to explain everything. Just one word is enough. Sometimes writing it down is the first step to letting it go.
If being without a husband is this appealing, why are you spending so much effort in trying to convince your fellow women. You have now resorted to using Ai🤦♀️ Congratulations! You have taken this your goal of making every woman single to another level.
