Relationship: I Thank God I Didn't Marry Her

I met Shade at the university, very beautiful young lady. I loved her so much but she was always asking for money from me even as a struggling student. I tried to dissuade her from the attitude but her chant of "you're not caring" will always rent the air at each occasion l tried to. Always very confident about herself. After NYSC, I secured a job where I earned 60k per month, she was in her final year then. I told her about the job and her response was "is it 60k job you're celebrating"? I made it clear to her that I won't continue the relationship, she smiled and went away.

She later sent a message to me in the night of that day saying "60k is not enough to marry me, good riddance to bad rubbish". Fast forward six years with a wonderful wife and two beautiful kids, I bumped into her in a mutual friend father's funeral yesterday in Abeokuta, she wasn't looking as beautiful as she used to be, I greeted and exchange pleasantries with her, she responded grudgingly at first but later came back to tell me that "you're looking like a real man now". I asked her what she meant which she didn't respond to.


I heard from a friend who followed me to Ife from Abeokuta while driving down to my base at Akure today that she actually separated from her husband because the guy lost his job in the bank in 2014. What an unrepentant money monger is this Shade lady? I haven't stopped thanking my God that I made a wise decision to leave her in 2009. I pray she learn on time.

I have an advise for young ladies and gentlemen in the house, ladies change your mindset about money issues if its wrong like Shade's. Young men, shine your eyes and work very hard to earn a respectable living, cheers.

FG To Increase Corpers Allowance, Guess How Much

The former Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brig. Gen. Johnson Olawumi, yesterday announced that efforts to ensure an increase in the monthly allowance of serving corp members would soon yield positive result.
Johnson Olawumi made this disclosure in during his handover ceremony to the new Director General of the scheme, Brig. Gen. Sule Kazaure which took place at the NYSC National Secretariat in Abuja, explaining that the management of the scheme had drawn the attention of the Federal Government to the need to increase the allowances through a series of letter written to the government to that effect.

According to the ex-NYSC DG;
“The scheme was not able to handle some of its programmes especially the sports and cultural festival in 2015.
“You may not be aware that series of letters that have been written and necessary follow up to the appropriate authorities on the need for proper funding of the scheme. This is especially important now that the current corps population has risen to 260,000 per year.”
He advised his successor to place the welfare of corps members and staff at the top of his priority list in order to boost their morale for effective service delivery and also urged the staff to extend the cooperation he enjoyed during his stay in the scheme to the new DG to achieve the desired result. Brig.-Gen. Johnson Olawumi who was redeployed to the Nigeria Army School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering said:
