LGAs are puppets of every ruling party in the state. The reason many of us focus more on the state and federal governments is because the local governments are non-existent. I personally believe that until our value system is strongly revitalised, the politicians will continue making a monkey of us. Nigeria is the only country where people take loans to run elections, scream 'empty treasury' as soon as he's sworn in, but live extravagantly while their tenure last!

chaircover: It depends.

if you are in a position of trust and in a sensitive position then YES!

In this particular case, this man is in a very sensitive position. The CIA is a very powerful organization with a lot of enemies. The man in charge should be a man of integrity and his yes be yes. He should not the type who you will find taking unavoidable risk and making silly decisions. for all we know the woman he had an affair with may have been a spy or a plant therefore putting the whole country at risk

When you start venturing out of your home into the wide world of dating, infidelity and so on, you are at risk of being blackmailed yourself and you will do anything to hide the affiar . . .again putting the country at risk.

For him to sustain that affair & keep it hidden, he would have had to lie over and over again. It is not a good name for America for the head of the CIA to be a lair and a schemer.

he did the right thing by reg. If he had issues with his wife, then he should have done the noble thing and that was to divorce her.

End of story! Gbam!

I haf 'assent' ke! I haf 'Yoruba-Yoruba' assent!

What can I say? Thanks a lot Jim Ovia.

Yes
Yeah

And this makes the frontpage
Am I on nairaland or reading Alaroye newspaper

I think you should reflect on what she has always wanted but yet to have. If you can have it/them, surprise her. If you can't, get any feminine and presentable gift. It's really not about the gift, but the intention behind it.
Introduce an element of surprise. In my own case, I acted like I was going to the office but returned home a few hours later with her gifts.
Best of luck.

omoobajeje1: With all the proofs above what else do you need? To you do you really believed that girl really won the plane? And do you really believed the money was actually given to her? Guy wise up this Į̸̸̨§ Naija.

What proof sir? I haven't seen any ooooo, except for other people's comments.

Fynist: Initially. They said a plane, or the equivalent of #200 million . Now it's #64 Million. How come. Do this Twerps think Naija people are Stupid. This is Corporate Yahoo, yahooo

Now, we are getting somewhere! Can you please provide the source?

Has MTN released the photo of the winner? No.
Is every aeroplane a private jet? No.
If I had been announced as a winner yesterday, would I really want my photo displayed with the current happenings in Nigeria? No.
I seriously think we should stop screaming "scam" until we have a proof. The first and only time I saw one of the winners of the Etisalat Range Rover Sport, I mocked him until I was convinced that the guy truly won it.
BTW, who knows where Mr. Aroma is? Aroma won N10 million in the Who Wants to Be A Millionaire game show. That he is no longer in the spotlight doesn't make it a scam.
Just because the winner of the $1 million prize money in Etisalat promo was not known to me doesn't make it a scam.
It only becomes a scam when I have a major proof to back it up.

I think Baba Oloye saw this coming long before now. He also knew that announcing his son as the next godfather would generate rancour, so he staged a fight with Bukola and chose to belong to the losing side.
He wrote the script too well, and intelligently delivered Kwara to his son.

Dangote talks less and acts more.
Femi Otedola should learn to do the same.

Do I even have an ex?

Hmmmmm....... If only this guy had escaped the long arm of the law. Nigeria would have witnessed the arrival of another 'hardworking' multi-millionaire with a touching 'grass-to-grace' story to tell.
To all those who use acting and/or music as a cover up for their sinister actions, The arm of the law is very long oooooo.
And by 'arm of the law', I don't mean EFCC!

Naija! "The promo is fake" but I see a lot of MTN Wonder sticker on vehicles, all in the hope of winning 50k.
Now that the winner has been announced, another issue. I personally believe that promo is a game of luck, and until those who complain win, it'll never look real to them.
My colleague always rubbished the asset disposal exercise carried out by my organisation - until she won. You should see her sheepish smile when I said she cheated.

Thank you ECOWAS.
I guess that's the purpose of this post.

ULSHERLAN: The lil girl really looks like tubaba and less I forget, laila ikeji posted this and am sure I will be seeing it on the front page soon. #grabs sit and waits for new topics on the front page to refresh

Please, when are you setting up your church? MOGs with lesser powers are flying private jets oooo.

Nope. There's more to a fulfilling marriage than bosom implants.
On a lighter note, I a friend of mine who vowed not to breastfeed her children so that her bosom wouldn't sag. Well, she didn't have any child until she relinquished the vow!

It's so easy to throw stones at the glass house, especially when you are no longer occupying it.

Kudos to the NCC on this. Nigerians must learn to focus quality service, and not freebies. What's the essence of having freebies when the service itself is frustrating?

Marriage counselling? I've never experienced it.
I cannot allow a fellow man take kudos for the potentials God planted in me.

The answer is very simple: the devil does not react to such an allegation.
If he had dealt invisible slaps to those who made such an allegation in the past, this page wouldn't have come up at all.

What for? I don't hold on to the past, abeg.

This is a serious question ooooo. You are asking me to look into the future.

*Orunmila loading.............*

I make money with my phone. It's my mobile office.

Reminds me of a civil servant in Saki, Oyo state. The man already had 4 girls but wanted a boy. So,the wife became pregnant again and delivered quadruplets - all boys!
He wanted one but God 'over-blessed' him!

freecocoa: ^Good you said "we" not she must cook.

Hmmmmmm....... You for flog me, abi?

You can't enforce trust, and it's really childish to think that having access to your partner's (s) by force will ease your insecurity.
Trust, like respect, should be mutual. If you don't trust him/her enough to be with him/her, walk away. No be by force.

koyafatuga: Guy,
I am somehow in the same shoes as yours, just that mine isnt on trust issues but issues that are based on arrogance from my partner.
What i do in most cases(dont know if i am wrong, but it works), is to leave her sight or engage in some other things that diverts my attention away totally from the argument, then later on i ponder on what has happened and how i will confront my partner with my argument and settlement plans.
It has worked for me most times and it still does, like i said i dont know if that is the most appropriate method.
Right now i am even in a quarrel with her since last night. I am at work, so busy to think of what happened at home. I will think about it on my way home and something will definitely be done tonight.

Nice! In addition to all these, I always ensure that whatever issue we have is resolved before going to bed. More importantly, no matter what happens, we must cook and I must eat. I will never eat out cos I am angry.

My experience with SLOT wasn't a pleasant one. I bought 3 phones (N82, C6 and N900) from the shop but none of them lasted more than 6 weeks. I was also billed for fixing the phones.
