Aesthetically, Florence Ita-Giwa is at liberty, like any other woman, to make effort to look beautiful. Politically, however, there is basically no difference between Donald Duke and Florence Ita-Giwa. They are part of the selfish politicians that keep riding on the back of people of Cross River people to advance political and financial interests since the formation of PDP in 1989. They may change political parties, but their motives remain the same.

What is still baffling today is how Donald Duke, as governor of Cross River State, sunk billions of Naira in Tinapa Project, a project of which he alone seems to understand in the whole in Cross River State because even Liyel Imoke the successor governor he installed abandoned it and successive governors followed suit. The buildings are still there wasting away and he, Donald Duke has not even been able to explain how to put the buildings to use as the one who conceived the project.

All over the world, a massive project as Tinapa comes with a document that shows the plan, the phases, the objectives, cost/benefit analysis, opportunities it offers, scalability, how it will impact other sectors, etc. This helps everybody to buy into the project and successive governments would find it easy to continue or even improve upon. Tinapa looks now like Donald Duke's personal pet vanity project.

Donald Duke should shut the f*ck up.

Nigeria politicians, as a rule, do not continue projects left behind by their predecessors. Anywhere! They abandon it so the predecessors can be ridiculed.
In Akwa Ibom, there are so many projects that have been abandoned and one of them is the Science Park project. There's a lot of them like that.

So it isn't because Duke's Tinapa wasn't sustainable, it is because his successors didn't care to sustain it. You can say many things about Duke, but you can't say he didn't govern Cross River well. He's still their best governor till date.

The Tinapa you're talking about was generating revenue before his tenure was up. How many shows were taken there to be hosted? It was a destination for pleasure seekers, as was Obudu Ranch. Or that was a useless project also?
And those buildings were only abandoned after he stopped being governor. Reputable brands had leased some of the buildings and were doing business there.

Don't say this thing near a Cross River Ian, especially an Efik man o

My blood is burning now as I write.My wife has now completely changed for bad, a few days after our second child.

An erstwhile submissive woman that i thought i had tamed for life has now become a thorn in the flesh to me. I just parted with over 300k unplanned fund for her C.S. I thought she'd be more respectful to me now but no,she has changed completely!

She dares me to do my worst,she cries over small issues that i wonder if it's witchcraft.Or she thinks I can't quit cos she's got two boys for me? The mind boggles. Am just mad and gobsmacked at the same time as all my Red pill O.T have failed and am even considering divorce right now.

I'm at a bar drinking my sorry ass away, brainstorming the best option for me. What could be outta place?

I need candid advice,folks.

That you think you spent money on HER C. S just shows the kind of man you are. I bet ou would have been happier spending for her burial. Idad

If you allow her to do her wishes, she will blame you for not protecting her.

Women are like children.

Your children will blame you for not guiding them in the right path.

Learn to lead a woman, she will follow your lead.

If you make mistakes as a leader, you pick up the lessons, and fix the mess you made.

NB: I made those statements based on my experience, not opinion.

Lmao
It's probably the women in your life who are like children. Like they can't think for themselves?
Ewwwww

Interesting as that was the only thing you could take from the post. Awesome!

It's more interesting that the part in bold is all you saw in my comment.

boborosky:
Firstly, I am a guy who is goal driven. I work my ass off to ensure that I earn a living and this has left me with hating anyone who is lazy.
I met my fiance about a year ago. We don't reside in the same town but we talk everyday. When we started dating, she had told me she was done with schooling but she had a few issues which have prevented her from graduating. According to her, she finished in 2019 but has not been cleared because of those issues.

In the first few months that we started dating, I asked her why she was idle since the school was yet to clear her. I further advised that she should start something rather than stay at home. She told me then that she would like to produce and sell a particular commodity. I asked her what it required for her to start. She told me and I provided those things and travelled all the way to see her and hand those items over to her. Few weeks after that, I asked how the business was doing - she went from one story to the other. I was pissed because I thought she could have put all those excuses into consideration before letting me go through the stress of providing those items - It is not about the money for it wasn't much, but her lukewarm interest in pursing goals. Truth is that she never started the trade.

I let that slide and we moved on... Each day I noticed she doesn't have the desire to pursue goals. I mean, how could she have stayed over 3years at home without learning any skill or being purposeful. When it was clear that she wasn't being purposeful, I told her crystal clear that I would not want to be with anyone who lacks purpose or isn't resourceful. In response, she told me that she would work harder and do something. But as each day passed, it was the same old story. Right now, she teaches at a school - this was after a lot of pushing, and forcing and begging and all of that. Even, of the teaching, she complains that it is stressful.

She visited my family house twice. The first time she visited, I had to literally tell her to help in the sweeping of the house the morning following the night she arrived, which she did - I mean, I expected her to know (without being told) that that was expected of her as a first-time visitor in the frame of a prospective wife/in-law. Even as a man, you don't stay inside the room when you visit a family especially when they are doing chores - that was how I was raised. Maybe it isn't a general expectation, but that was how I was raised (Don't crucify me).

As it stands now, she isn't cleared yet and each time I tell her to go to the school, she would either reply reluctantly or get upset. Moreso, she doesn't have a skill. The truth is that, though she is nice, a virgin apparently, she may end up depending on me 100%. Given the way Nigeria is, one needs a partner who can support one. Also, coupled with the fact that though she loves me 100%, she is not very exposed (a bit timid), and lacks the desire to be independent, hardworking or achieve her own goals.

We had discussed marriage, though I have not proposed yet. Conversely, right now, I am having a rethink which has caused me to be a bit withdrawn and retrogressive. I do not want a spouse who would drag me backwards, I have suffered a lot to get to where God placed me - I don't want a setback given that my family partly depends on me. From all indications, I don't know whether she will be able to handle and account for a business if one is established for her.

Even though the decision to either proceed with or withdraw from marriage is solely mine, I'd like a piece of advice.

For matured folks.... What do you think?

You think the decision to go ahead with the marriage or not rests solely on you? 😂😂
What if she rejects your proposal?

I don't know sha. Some people are like that, lukewarm in all things.

I found myself saying ah ahnnn when you said it is expected for a prospective wife to wake up and sweep te day after she arrives in your family. Ahhhh
So you want a resourceful woman who will also double as the help in your family?
I hope you find her.

Because this your family tradition no gel at all

Do better when you start your own family o.

Not surprised.

Ekiti of the election result padding. Nothing good seems to come out from there. Who e wan dey teach?

If I were the man I would withdraw my sponsorship because of this poor grammar.

But was it really what they wanted? To study in Cyprus? To even study at all? Or was it done to spite CR?

I wonder what kind of job you expect to get here in Uyo with no degree. I mean, even people with degrees are still searching. Better go and finish school so you'll be better qualified and ready for opportunities when they come.

Goodluck

Dear Nairalanders, I am at a point where I can say I am ready to marry and who to choose has been an issue.

I have friends that are really decent but no strong feelings attached.

I know the will of God but their Shakara too much and another thing is that them no love you the same way, they will also tell you that God did not tell them anything.


I also have a lady that I am in love with and when people see us, then say we are couples. And she loves me same way.
Please in situations like this what should I go for?

You want us to tell you who to marry? Why don't you ask God? Pray, study and meditate.

MrKings1:
weldon sir.

nigeria needs ppl like u.

Audio projects being commissioned everywhere. Mtchewwww

The people are dying of hunger while those in government spend lavishly.

I hope EFCC picks this pink lips ambassador and deal with him.

I hope this man dies a slow, painful death.

lecowas:
You've got to manage if u ain't got no job. Don't criticize the lifestyle of those u called rich cos that lifestyle might be what got dem where they are.

BTW, how people manage to stuff heavy food in their stomach morning, noon and night still baffles me and they still complain 'bout Nigeria.

Stfu
Food is a good thing basic need. It isn't why Nigeria is like this. So people who complain abo it Nigeria shouldn't eat well?

Why was it important to evacuate based on state of origin? Aren't they all Nigerians? Will they be dropped in their different states or in one location?

And an Igbo man is airlifting them o

His hometown has no electricity, water or good road (because I can't call that winding, hilly death trap a good road).

Has a house that's unpainted and uninhabited.

It beats me how these people get this confident. The Adiabo where corpers make contributions monthly to be able to buy fuel and power their gadgets? The Adiabo where there isn't a single good school? The primary school is empty, most of the children are either home or in the farms or fishing.

The health center is a dilapidated, abandoned building.
The mighty hill one has to climb up and down to get water from nko? That is if you can stand the dusty water from their streams. I used to buy water from a neighboring village and pay Okada to bring it for me.

Mtchewwww

Failure2019:
I just got fired from my job yesterday and I have no idea why, just out of the blue.

Any advice to help with this. I cried on my drive home because I really enjoyed working there and the pay was good. I guess that's what I get for trying to ever make something of myself.

I try to make an honest living as a young man trying to enter the workforce and this is what happens.
Is it time to become an unemployed once again?

I feel bleeped. Life is bleeped. I just wanted a nice house, a wife and a little savings I'm the bank. Guess that's not happening

Don't give up. Something bigger is coming.
