10 THINGS THAT SOUND TOO CRAZY TO BE TRUE.


There are more Babies on Nairaland than Adults. Ratio of 9:1

99% of people who run their mouth in the Politics Section of Nairaland are bloody cowards in reality who will run under their beds on hearing the sound of a fire cracker but instead come hear and spew fire and brimestone on a faceless forum.

Nigeria's unemployment statistics is. NOT caused by the government but rather by lazy Nigeria youths who are only concerned about the pay without wanting to add an iota of value to their employer or company.

90% of Nigeria youths now occupy their thoughts with sexual escapades, 4% with illegal means of earning a living, 2% in gambling, 3% in umimaginery miraculous way of getting reach thinking prayer alone without work will ever happen, ONLY 1% of the Nigerian youth is Sane.

Bode Both PDP, APC, LP, APGA, and All Political parties in Nigeria are one and the same filled with callous, pot bellied and old politicians who are just into politics for the sole purpose of enriching themselves and only remember the Nigeria populace few days to election by giving them few cups of rice and becoming humble overnight.


Jonathan, Tinubu, Ameachi, Obasanjo, Buhari, Kalu, Tambuwa, Bode George, Anenih, Rocha's, and every living past and present politicians are best of friends. They only pretend to be enemies on the covers of newspaper and social media when in real fact they all wine and dine in the wee hours of the night and laugh and the ignorance of the Nigerian populace while sharing the oil blocs and National treasury amongst themselves.

Nigeria Education system in no distant time be worse than that of Guinea, Niger, Mali and Bokina Fasu. as our children now know more than 1,000 indecency website by heart than they know the capitals of the 36 states of Nigeria or even the National pledge.

Nigeria has a massive gold mine where even an illiterate can exploit and make it big if ONLY our youths can drop their mobile phones for a day and make use of their God given brains.

People now marry for the short term without putting the long term in focus. Nigeria in no distant time will rank 1st on the table of countries with the most divorce rates. Most actually plan for months towards the wedding day without planning for the marriage itself.


Seun and his Mods had a meeting and vowed never to allow any of my topics to make front page again.

43.Scientific dating estimates
the Earth to be around
4.54 billion years old with
a 1% margin of error.

44.An Earth day is not 24

to rotate on its own axis.

45. 11. Scientists say that an Earth
day had around 20 hours a

that a million years from
now it will have 27 hours.

46.The coldest place on Earth
is Vostok (in Antarctica)

Azizia (in Libya). That’s
interesting!

47. 13. Did you know that on July
21st 1983, the coldest

John Tyler, the 10th president
of the US, was born in 1790. He
has a grandson that is alive
today.

John Tyler was born in 1790. He took office in 1841, after William Henry Harrison died. And he has two living grandchildren.

Not great-great-great-grandchildren. Their dad was Tyler’s son.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

The Tyler men have a habit of having kids very late in life. Lyon Gardiner Tyler, one of President Tyler’s 15 kids, was born in 1853. He fathered Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. in 1924, and Harrison Ruffin Tyler in 1928.
