No need to import food.. Just open the borders for food items only and leave story.

Namaster:
A good bad idea.

Importing food with scarce dollars would deepen the problem. It'll be more food that Nigerians CANNOT afford.

Instead, the government needs to launch an aggressive and sustained comprehensive attack on bandits and terrorists holding whole farming villages to ransom.

Also, the government needs to approve state police ASAP and have the states set up a special farmland protection squad. Like SARS, but better because they'll only harass trespassing herdsmen and criminal bandits.

Finally, more stringent price control measures need to be introduced. It's MADNESS for the price of goods to jump more than 40-50% in just 7 days.

Trash... You just speaking English jargons.

Yes. If Tinubu is wise or surrounded by wise men, the best way to respond to the prices of essential food items is to open the borders for food items only.

A bag of rice will reduce to less than 30k, then the price of the local rice will crash like pack of card too.


Let rice, beans, be vegetable oil, semo etc roll in and see how people will start singing his praise.

Tinubu ko lagidi ni... Ko gbon rara. Ode alagidi radarada.

When people buy cheaper they'll sell cheaper.

Even with the Naira free fall, how much do you think a bag of rice is in Benin Republic?

It's irritating... I can't even dance like this with my wife in public let alone of my daughter. My daughter. God forbid!!! It's a big no no. I still doubt the lady is his daughter though.

Why not postpone it by just a few months? It would have been honorable and understandable.

It is all shades of wrong. What if it's the pastor son? Your answer is as good as mine.

Really, Wigwe was meant to be the spiritual son of the pastor.

Wigwe lost his life, his wife, two sons etc. That's like almost 5 of your most important members... No no no no... It's all wrong. No matter what explanation you have, it can't be logical.

What if it was the pastor's biological son, daughter in law, and grandson? Would they have gone ahead with the party?

If your answer is No, then the pastor is wrong.

OP, Humans are not robots to be configured according to your whim. You can tell another human being what you desire and want but there is no marriage contract out there to obligate that person to doing all you demand if that person is not himself/herself configured to those same specifications/settings that you were looking for.

You did not marry wrong! Rather, you went in with the wrong ideas, I am afraid. What you described earlier sounded more like you were attempting to program her according to your needs without considering her personality and needs as well. If what you wanted was someone to dote on you and play mother figure to you, you should have paid a woman to be that to you. Money talks and these days, I am sure you will be able to find someone to pay to be just that for you. Your wife, however, is not a robot and she too has her desires and needs which she could equally impose on you. So, if you both want to benefit from each other, then I suggest you start by going back to the table and drawing out a contract that will equally benefit both parties here.

P.S. Those of them here advising you to do to her what you seem to think she has been doing to you are only preparing you for a future filled with marital hurt and loneliness.

I'm dead sure you're either not married or not happily married.

Now, if you're not married, I doubt you'll ever marry a reasonable husband. If you're married, obviously an unhappy marriage, I doubt if you'll ever be happy in that marriage with this kind of mindset...

You're best with a very weak man as husband. The one you'll put rope around is neck and drag around.

Trash!!! Your response is more irritating than the wife described.

He simply married wrong.

A lady who is not submissive, who is not clean, who doesn't have respect, who lives as though she has no head she submits to, who can just take her husband dresses and dash them out.

She is really not fit for marriage especially to a gentleman. She needs to marry a tout to learn submission the hard way. Obviously, she lacks home training.

Dear bro, wake up to your leadership role, call her and confront her. After that, give her rules, I'm sure she won't be able to cope with the rules because she's not submissive. If she didn't change, get her off your life or you'll remain unhappy for life.

I also smell see finish and in her. She has seen all about you. I guess she's either older than you or your mate.

Good. These curses will really work. You can't sell the will of millions and you go scot free.

Once the curses on Yakubu works, we face Tinubu next. This is a good feedback.

If Nigeria is precious to you, you will push the coup agenda.

It was better under military than what we have now.

Do you care about Nigeria and Nigerians? Coup is them feasible answer for now or Tinubu should resign!

Did you tell your wife the condition caused by the accident? Especially before the wedding? If your answer is NO, then you have the bulk of the blame. In that case, you need to be humble and seat your wife down for a heartfelt discussion. Tell her you did the DNA test and already found out the children ain't yours. Her reaction will go a long way to tell the next step.

She might have done it to cover up for your infertility and you can play along with it like that or she may be actively cheating on you... But demand to know the father of the children so you know who she's cheating with.

Above all, the blame is on you. You deliberately marry a woman for keep her barren for life by hiding such information? Who does that?

Meanwhile, since you are a pastor, ensure that God heals you and make you fertile again or you start cheating too.

Donkogbe:
I have been married for 14 YEARS and 'we' have 3kids(all boys) but none of them belongs to me.

5years before I met my wife, I was involved in a car accident together with two of my friends. We were traveling from Lagos to Abuja and our car skidded off the road.
I was the only survivor of that accident, my friends died. I spent about 11months at the hospital and that left me with a condition that says I can't have children.

I gave my life to Jesus Christ and became a committed Christian after the incident.
In summary I became a pastor in a local church in my community 5years later and met my wife in the process.

I did not tell her about my condition because I was hopeful that God will heal me.

6 years into our marriage, my wife got pregnant and had 'our' first child.
To be sure, I secretly went for a DNA and it was clear I wasn't the father. I repeated the test for all 3 children and they are all not mine.

I have been living with this situation for the past 8 years and I am beginning to get irritated by both the children and my wife.
My wife pretends to be a good wife. She goes around preaching to women in the church about the need to remain faithful to their partners but she has had 3 children by another man or men I don't know.

I want to confront her, but I am confused as to how to go about the situation.
I am just angry and irritated by everyone in my house lately. I feel like a total stranger in my own home.

If you don't have any meaningful things to say, please don't comment

Tinubu and Cardoso should just resign. They obviously don't know what they are doing. Like kids playing with sand.



The FX matter is nothing but trial and error. I hate dumb people who are mediocres in their acclaimed noble games.

Ha

Lol.


I doubt the authenticity of this story. But anything can happen inside life sha.

Let's assume it's true, you must have married a cultist who has principles.

But really, if you were to be my sister, not using my church mind, I would have adviced you to use the same method to retaliate... Like hiring thugs to cut off one of his fringers or his left ear.

Omo aye.

It's no big deal. Kill your dad and marry her. Propose marriage to her with an expensive ring...

Kneel down before her and ask if she will marry you.

Don't forget to kill your dad first. Then you can even marry your sister as the second wife.


Eleribu

I have not been able to fly. No money... Close to 40.

spiralwedge:
Every country is going through hard time. The UK economy, for instance, is in recession.
Fuel in Ghana is about N1500 per litre. Accommodation in Benin Rep, Togo, Ghana and CIV are about twice/thrice of what we pay here and they pay monthly.

Nigeria is still one of the cheapest countries to live in. The Naira has been on a false value because the past administration politically made it so. The naira is presently having its real value and we have no choice but to adapt and adjust.


When the naira and our economy stabilise, we will have a long period of prosperity.

Eleribu re o. Mumu. I guess you're sure one of the spoilt politician kids.

VanuatuWycombe:


I don’t say it’s bad to do something for his village but it shouldn’t be at the detriment of the state.
I am from Ibadan. You and I know he started way too far from the city. It will take time before the new road is populated with houses, filling stations etc because it’s being constructed in the bush too far from the city. It should have followed the back of Premier Feeds or worst case, behind BAT and go towards Alakia.

Doing that would reduce cost of construction and at the same time road users would feel more safer than tracking in the middle of nowhere. You and I know what the security situation of the country is.

The construction was not intended well.

I understand you... But you know, it's better he starts from anywhere. When we know where we are going, anywhere can be the starting point.

VanuatuWycombe:


You are right but Seyi made sure the road passes through the village he was born, Ajia.
He should have started the road at around Soka/Lead University area of Ibadan Toll-gate but he started around Guru Mahrahji, just to make sure his village is captured and this is costing government a lot of money than it would have spent.

I even heard it, authoritatively, that Seyi has bought nearly all the lands on that stretch for future use and sale.

Doing something for his village is not bad. If he doesn't who will bring the development? That is actually how the nation moves forward. If all the past leaders have been doing something remarkable for the areas they come from Nigeria will be better than this. Let him buy all the lands and use it for development. He too can profit from it. It's better than embezzlement of public funds.

I think the road is a short cut for those enroute Lagos coming into Ibadan from ikire axis.

This will make the journey shorter and reduce the traffic in Ibadan too.

I just hope it's the road. It links you directly to Lagos Ibadan expressway an soon as you enter Ibadan.

This will be a milestone achievement.

I hope I'm not guessing wrong o

Missowombo:
Dear Family landers. I am here to seek your advice on how to rescue my car from my neighbour.
​
I bought a car, direct from abroad, a very clean and sweet ride, and registered in September, 2023 (5months ago). However, due to the high fuel consumption( V6, 3.5l engine) and the ever unstable fuel price today, I decided to put it up for sale to get a smaller engine capacity. A neighbour expressed interest in buying the car and decided to pay in installment which I agreed. I was also searching for a replacement at this time hoping to use the money realized from the sales to get my preferred ride. My preferred ride prices were shockingly high such that even if I doubled the price I gave to my neighbour it will still not be enough to buy the new ride. Prices rise by the hour these days in Nigeria and I have no hand in this crisis. I returned to my neighbour to inform him that I will not be selling the car anymore due to the present crises in prices of goods in the country. I apologized profusely for every inconvenience and transferred his money back to him. He got angry and said that I must submit the car key and documents to him. He even threatened to send his community and area boys to beat me up and extract the above items.

I came back from work to see my car jacked up, surrounded by 2 other vehicles to prevent the car's exit. For the records, there is no written or signed agreement between him and I concerning this sale. I refunded all his money 1 day after he paid his last installment and kept back my car. I have no hand in Nigeria's current problems. I am pushed to use force here but I am thinking that some initial peaceful resolution could be an option

TO avoid unnecessary troubles, add a little interest on it. If he still goes ahead to cause wahala... Get him arrested, make sure you're the first party to report to the police. Pay the interest first o. It's important, that is the only way you can be exonerated. Pay at least 10% interest so it won't be a bad bussiness for him altogether. That is wisdom.

Charm wey no prevent us from scoring

Ogaaaaa, the players played rubbish and were underserving

Simple.

Do you know that charms can make them play rubbish?

Guy is simply amazing

Are they in various sizes?

Can you deliver at Sagamu?

Kobojunkie:
What you instead sensed was my absolute disgust for spiritual bullsheet— addiction to praying at midnight, dependence on dreams— which is all you spewed there feigning superiority over OP's ritual — visiting seers, paying attention to even the word of "mad" people.

Again, You are against critically reasoning your situation, right? Well, you and OP seem to be on the same path. So what makes your path better or different from his path?

Nothing is more entertaining than watching the display of ignorant people laced with a few touches or arrogance.

Their silly blabbings, their random assumptions and petty tantrums are nothing but entertaining.

No matter how learned you think you are, you have not started living, even at your age, if you don't understand that (1) life is spiritual and (2) the spiritual is more real than the physical (3) the spiritual controls the physical.

If you don't know these, life has not started with you. All you do, no matter how good they look, are not nothing but mirages. The delusion is so on you. Sir.

Kobojunkie:
OP equally claimed guidance from the seers and from the "mad" woman. So how is his idea of divine guidance any different from yours in this?

You are against critically reasoning your situation, right? Well, you and OP seem to be on the same path. So what makes your path better or different from his path?

I perceive your distrust and disdain for spiritual intelligence and most likely God. Unfortunately, I avoid arguments bordering on spiritual interactions and the theological concepts once I notice an awkward tendency.

Kobojunkie:
You believe with the advice you have offered here that you are less superstitious than OP is? See delusions abeg!

My ascertions are not superstitious. That is the reality for those who needs divine guidance on taking sensitive decisions like relocating a whole family.

A person's relationship with his maker is beyond delusion.

Real delusion is for a man who thinks that everything about life is mental.

I guess the delusion is actually on you here.

tallfish145:
HERE IS MY TRUE LIFE STORY
I moved to Abuja in the 2015 but never really liked the idea. Since then life has been back and forth with me. I have tried every possible means to get out of the city on so many occasions, I kept finding myself coming back(after moving out) due to unavailability of fund to start a new life elsewhere.
This year 2024 I finally made my mind to settle at Ilorin where I already rented a two rooms apartment and subsequently started something with the little capital I have. But something happened after two weeks that I have no choice than to move back to Abuja again. The reason behind it was a little bit scary. A madwoman had asked me to leave the town and go back to where I came from(Abuja). Not fully convinced, someone took me to a seer who also says same thing as the madwoman. I was given a deadline of moving out before two days. I obeyed and came back to Abuja.
The thing now is I can't find solace and peace here in Abuja because of standard of living and other factors. I really wish to live amongst my Yoruba speaking people with my family.
I am thinking of going against all odds and move back to either Ilorin or any other parts of Yorubaland.
Please your brotherly advice is needed.
Thanks

You mean a mad man, possessed with demons instructed you and you obeyed as a family man? You have seen too many nollywood movies and it's to an extreme extent. Why will a mad man decide where you and your family live?

Well, I perceive you're a very superstitious man. And life doesn't always work on superstitions. Please wake up to reality.

Have a serious relationship with God and be addicted to midnight prayers. You will have some God given dreams and your mind will be opened clearly as for what to do.

Meanwhile, please understand that the devil is already tossing you around. He sent a mad man to you to reduce your strength as a man and tamper with a decision that can be taken intelligently. This is what makes men weaklings. Please Don't allow any prophet to play with your sanity. You're your own first prophet.

Dear woman. Leave all the trash people have been saying. Your marriage is under attack. A strange woman just came to snatch your man and destroy your home. Listen up! The attack is not against you but the future of your children.

Can you pray? Do you go to prayer mountains?

If you can pray, the strange woman will forcefully leave him and he'll be back to his senses. It's an attack.

cyrusmillz:
As much as I love Osimhen and I believe he's a good player now doubt. But I still don't get the hype TBH.

To me ,he hasn't been on par with previous Africa's best.The likes of Salah, Mane and Yaya... He maybe he's the best the continent has to offer for now (based on his Napoli form) but they should just tone down on the hype. Even his performance so far at this AFCON is pretty poor if we are being honest with ourselves.

Can't wait to see you at Chelsea next season (with a new coach )

Your understanding of football is very shallow. There are kPIs to prove Osimen is even underrated. The boy is good. No caps.
