It's an achievement just like graduation, celebrating 40, 50 , 60 years or more. It's an achievement just like having a baby, securing a good paying job, losing weight or stop smoking! An achievement is an achievement regardless of opinion!

The emergence of Tinubu's quest for power has really destroyed the integrity of Yorubas Nationwide and fostered hate, anger, shame and all manners of fake life.....

Imaging Apapa at his age coming out to disgrace his entire root and tribe for a peanut from a man whose identity, school years, classmates , source of income and is yet unknown....

May calamity not befall our dear Yoruba tribe for turning the truth upside down just because of a mere interest to become President.....

Just re-view the disgrace of Apapa in the Tribunal and know where the Problems of Nigeria not moving forward and has come to decay started......

Very shameful and disgraceful , where are the Elders ?

Una no dey tire to dey spew rubbish? A whole tribe is now tainted by few individuals? Just speak wetin dey your mind, your hatred was passed on by your grandfather to your father and then to you, e sure say you MUST pass it down to your pikin one day......Spits!

Immature woman married immature man....GBAM immature marriage! The guy is absolutely right, you knew his salary was a measly 150k yet you and your family are not willing to compromise.

A guy can cherish you and at the same time choose not to be stupid! Where I fault the guy is not opening up, he should have maintained his stance, no means no! If you no like am, make your papa marry you!

Listen fellas, don't try to impress any woman by ruining yourself financially, not only would the woman end up mocking you but she would leave you with the gbese and be on to the next Abrahamovic......Ji ma sun!

So you want to fight against Niger Republic because you are afraid of Nigerians who might do a coup in Nigeria?

Duh! If you dey pray to go back to the days of Abacha......Abeg stop am! Even the Nairaland wey you dey use abuse politicians and government, under Abacha dem go don use you do suya......Think am well!

Stoplying:

How many Nigerians are you ready to sacrifice in order to bring Niger Republic back into slavery to France ?

Before the coup, how many times did tinubu (aka ECOWAS) defend Niger Republic against exploitation by France ? But when they try to break free, we have to be there to punch them back to the ground and put them on a leach which we would hand over to France, right ?

How many coup would you watch happen until the threat of a coup within Nigeria becomes highly likely? I know una prayer, many of una secretly wish for chaos. You don't give a flying f*ck about Niger, BUSTED

It's how the DSS gets to invade homes of private individuals without any sort of search or arrest warrants, only to whisk occupants away in gestapo style like hardcore kidnappers, that leaves plenty of cause for worry.

E be like say you don't know what they call DSS, do you think we're talking about police or army here.....DSS even in America can keep you in a dark hole for months and nobody would do shin shin, once you're classified as imminent danger to the nation, YOU'RE GONE!

How many parents in Nigeria can comfortably see their wards through school without them contributing in one way or the other? Very few parents are in that category. Most of these lads chose cyber fraud as sustainance in school and after school. Yes i understand your point though. A child who lack nothing. Everything is being provided for him/her. I believe such a person should be able to think of what to do if not for anything, at least to relieve his/her parents from financial burden and perhaps allow them focus on his/her younger siblings. I get your point.

But you know there are students who singlehandedly sponsored themselves through school, had social life in school and still graduate top of their class? How will you feel if those people in that category also said they see no reason why someone would go through the four walls of university without coming out with at least 2.1? You called that personal decision or accountability but to them they somewhat see it as failure. To them anything less than 2.1 is nothing but failure. Sorry to say.


Besides, most of these guys don't even depends on their parents. They're mostly into cyber fraud and some other illegal means of making money. The ones who do not involve in fraudulent act depends on their parents which obviously is wrong.

All I'm saying is if you are lucky enough to have parents that sponsored you throughout university study, there's no excuse to still be depending on them after NYSC. Even if job no dey, the university experience should have taught you how to be resourceful! Furthermore, for students like that there should be no excuse not to get 2.1 or better!

Now, if the student had to struggle with finances by working, shouldn't such a student be more motivated than those who had it easy? I know for sure the most brilliant students from my set were those of very poor backgrounds. In fact one of the poorest from my set made a living selling handouts and conducting tutorials. Such a student after graduation would have no problem being resourceful even if job no dey because the entrepreneurial spirit was already activated!

UnfairLife7:
Itit is very much possible @bolded

Don't use your own situation/circumstance as a norms or general standard.

In Nigeria today, it is very much possible for graduates to depends on their parents in many ways. Someone who got admission immediately after secondary school or someone who was working after secondary school to support his/her parents for his/her education. There was no time to learn skills. I do not mean digital skills.

After school and service, you and i know majority of Nigerian graduates do not get job after school. It is not new to us anymore. Some of these graduates ended up with teaching job with paltry pay just to keep soul and body together. Some ended up learning one skills or the other (fashion design, plumbing, welding et al. They obviously depends on their parents/guidian during these period.

If you can comfortably assume you see no reason why a graduate should depends on their parents after school. What if someone said he/she see no reason why a reasonable person will go through school without coming out with at least strong 2.1 or first-class in a course he/she spent at least 4 years? What would you have to say to such person? I believe that person has reason for saying that just as you

All you've written are nothing but excuses! Go back and read my comment, I said the parents sponsored the kid through university, this means they are obviously not poor to the point that they need that kid to help out in providing income for the family. I'm going to say it again, if a parent can sponsor the child throughout his or her university education, there's no reason why such a child would still need to depend on the parent for survival after graduating.

Yes jobs no dey, yes the country hard but if these kids are still liabilities before and after university then wahala dey! University is more than just education, it's meant to teach young ones on how to be adults, how to network, how to relate with people from all over! If in 4-6 years you've never made a kobo by yourself while studying at a Nigerian university then you've learnt NOTHING!

Finally, your point about 2.1 or first class is also invalid. Yes there's no excuse for not being able to achieve such, failure to do so is nobody's fault but your OWN! It's called ACCOUNTABILITY! I graduated with a 2.2 and if I'm honest with myself, it was my fault, I chose the school, I chose the course and I chose social life over being a nerd....It is what it is!

The man gave her exactly what she wanted......A ready made product, the appearance of wealth, real or imagined

Ole.....Thief! More & more of you women will continue to find yourselves in situations like this because your main criteria in choosing a spouse is MONEY! Nobody wants to suffer but if you had your own bag, you wouldn't be too upset at the guy not being financially buoyant, in fact if you loved him enough, you might be the catalyst that finally gets him to sit up and be a real man but then again, women like this are NOTHING without their cash cow/man!

Don't know what cool aid/zobo y'all have been drinking lately but if you are fortunate enough to finance your child through 4-6 years of university, you do not owe that child anything else career wise.

All that talk about investment, art etc, should be for you! Only when you're okay currently and future wise should you even consider worrying about the career of a university graduate. You want your child to be independent, you want him or her to be able to survive under any condition. These kids nowadays get chewed and spat out by the harsh realities of society nowadays because they've not been allowed the freedom and autonomy to grow independently!

There's no f*cking reason, a twenty something year old graduate is still depending on mama or papa for feeding.....Makes no damn sense!

APC would have done what they did. The election wasn't credible

More credible than the past 3 elections especially 2019.....Notice a pattern? Every election since 2003, una dey always shout rigged, only difference this time is that instead of cows and underaged kids, na BVAS and Irev be the catalyst

marksleek2584:
I concur bro. Ridiculous prices flying about! It's so annoying that this guy and that Rice no even play reach Edgar Davids! Or even Gattuso! Agba ballers that weren't even valued in their prime at this outrageous, nonsensical figures.

Yet if Gattuso or Davids were playing and in the prime right now, they could command same price or even more. Evolution does not erase the past, it improves upon it!

A country that can't refine its own oil and yet relies on 80% importation.....Should such a country enjoy cheap fuel price?

Giant of Africa, imagine shouting our oil our oil but that oil needs to be sold to other countries for them to refine and then bought back in order to sell to Nigerian citizens......No be juju be that?

CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN.......UNA GO EXPLAIN TIRE

Noblechykk:

We are talking about doing the right thing and you are talking about pure facts. Do you think I am a novice on how things go in Nigeria politics. Anyway, we just deserve the country we have

Did the comment you responded to argue with you about right or wrong? Did he make any moral justification? He just explained to you how it works and you still insulted him.....Na wa o, some of una need serious chill pill!

Noblechykk:

Stop defending nonsense. Abi una no dey shame at all?

Person gave you pure facts, you dey ask if e get shame....Why e be say you Nigerians no dey like facts even when it is smacked right in front of una? No wonder these old men love lying to una

Amumaigwe:


Naira moved from #400 to about #900 to a dollar within one month of Tinubu presidency. That should be your worry.

And it will stabilize to around 700 which is the true value of the Naira, not the fake rates the Buhari's administration had y'all believing

A country that produces shin shin, a country that can't refine its own oil and practically imports almost everything.....What is there to sustain the currency? Abi you think say currency value is by mouth alone?

E no go better for anyone who asks you to forgive....Abeg continue holding the grudge, the bitterness, the frustrations in you. Perhaps when your papa pass away, maybe then you can finally say good riddance!

Listen my man, forgiveness is not for them but for you, it is for closure. You do not want to carry all that negativity into the next generation. Imagine your kids asking about your parents and all you can narrate to them is curse and frustrations.....NOT COOL!

In the end, nobody gives a flip if you forgive or not, I can bet my last kobo your papa has kids elsewhere and his military training has drained the normal emotions a parent should have for his kids. Look at it this way, be thankful they gave you life, you could have been flushed down the toilet or left inside a condom

Polchiz:

That is why the north calls you people bat.

Hush kid.....Grown ups are conversing!

If Tinubu truly wanted Senate approval, y'all think this marshmallow Senate would defy him? You guys still don't understand how politics work, you think Buhari would advice him to attack Niger? I laugh in Swahili.......As Ecowas Chairman he has done what needs to be done, not only will Nigeria preserve its dignity but more foreign assistance could be coming since this could be used to label Niger as a terrorist country and Nigeria needs to protect its borders. The foolish thing to do would be to attack when Nigeria gains absolutely nothing in return!

You call the last election, Presidential?

When you get reaped off, illegally. Accept it. With your chest.

Were you living under a rock since 1999? Compared to previous presidential elections where cows, dogs and underage children were voting in masses, this presidential election was one of the better ones. Even 2019 election was an abomination compared to this.....Stop the sentiments and face facts, your candidate lost because of the principal rule of divide and conquer......I can bet my last kobo if Obi and Atiku had teamed up, they would be the victor!

Dancebreaker:


So you now admit without knowing it that good governments make tough decisions when economy is seemingly good so that the impact will not weigh too much on the currency. Removing subsidy in 2012 would have meant 9ja had enough reserve and decent income to cushion the inflationary effects.

Simple logic dictates that you save in times of plenty to safeguard lean days in the future. Nigerians and Nigeria had more economic resilience to cope with subsidy removal in 2012 than right now. We could have begun renovating refineries 11 years ago with saved subsidy money.

BUT APC opposed it and protested everywhere. So why did APC spend good 8 years without removing subsidy? Economically, 9ja is not more resilient now than it was in 2016, 2017, 2019 or say 2022, so why now?

So it turns out that GEJ that you people and APC dubbed clueless actually had foresight. But he was from the wrong tribe because some tribes claim monopoly over intelligence and ability.

Remember too, low crude oil price in theory means cheaper price in the international market to import PMS. Meaning reduced total subsidy IF our elite including those in FG right now actually let us have the correct PMS consumption figures and not send half of subsidised PMS to other African countries to line their pockets.

You're still talking about APC, go back and read what I wrote. Until the blame game stops and government does the needful, NOTHING CHANGES!

Dancebreaker:

Just over 200 Naira was lambasted by opposition in 2015, but now 700 is ok?

Abeg my brother, tell us how many more finished industrial goods we supply in huge quantities to China, USA, France, NZ, UK or even ECOWAS countries that we didn't produce in 2015. Valuable goods that we want to now make more competitive in World market with low Naira value.
Fact is economic downturn and suffering affects every tribe, political affiliation, etc. So let's be honest.

200 Naira when oil prices were sky high and the country actually had a reserve. Fast forward almost 10 years later, oil is no longer lucrative, in fact the way Nigeria treats its oil is deadass backwards.

Dig crude oil, sell to outside countries, buy it back from them in refined form and then subsidize the cost to the citizens? As if that's not bad enough, government had to borrow the money for the subsidy......No be juju be that?

We can keep blaming the present administration or we can accept that ALL of them, both past and present are responsible for the predicament! Until we refine our own oil, focus less on importation and more on exportation, nothing changes. Till we do this.....THE SHEGE SHALL BE REVOLUTIONARY!

pretydiva:

Are these the reasons it is considered normal for men?

Societal view is different from personal view, society may consider it normal but as an individual you can decide whether to accept or protest. In relationships just like in life, everything is conditional!

P.S. The point raised actually shows why women are willing to forgive the man......Especially majority of youthful Nigerian women with no value except for making babies and shaking bum bum.

GreatrAnalyst:


Baby's talk.
Baby's babble.

What do you know about manpower and economy?
People who can lecture even your teachers are on public forums sending subtle messages to FG to never go for needless war, you and your lots are on NL rambling in the name of opinions.

Why is US not going for war against Russia leading NATO despite enough provocation from Russia? It is because US is lacking manpower and arsenal right?

Nigeria is struggling economically, then they should go headlessly into war? You think only what is needed to prosecute war is manpower?

Baby with baby's talk.

Stop comparing apples with oranges. U.S cannot go to war with Russia because Ukraine is not a NATO member. Furthermore, Russia does not share a direct border with the USA, if they did, trust me nothing would stop the USA from marching in and stomping on Russia's throat.

You're right that war should be avoided at all cost but stop comparing situations that are vastly different!

. I was born same year. My church, an Anglican church has a kindergarten class for children between 2 and 4 years. Based on your progress, they will recommend when you will start primary school. I started at 5 while my younger brother starts at 4.

Oh nice, for my area most of us home schooled or went to neighborhood lessons until we were old enough to be admitted to primary schools.

tuzle:
guy what u said is wrong. I am not a pdp fan but their was a stat here recently, I think last month that compared the our President Performance since obj and buhari was the worst followed by Jonathan. Yar adua had the most impressive and obj was manageable. So I don't know where u saw ur facts from. Also it is too early to judge tinubu, so I will remain optimistic about is regime even thou things are kind of hard right now.

If Jonathan encountered what Buhari faced, this country would have expired long ago. You people keep comparing tenures as if they all dealt with the same economic and societal issues. For example during Jonathan's reign, oil prices allowed Nigeria to make healthy profits, imagine what would have happened if Covid brought everything to a standstill. With the way the government was spending yafun yafun, dem go borrow money like there's no tomorrow.

Now compare this to Buhari's reign, where oil prices dipped significantly and Covid happened, why were we surprised that the government barely kept functioning? Why we dey shocked when billions are borrowed just to service existing obligations while new obligations were left to starve?

The truth remains that GEJ was 9ja's last chance at stability without mass suffering, his failure led to Buhari's admin being overwhelmed and now Tinubu is facing the same thing. Either tough, seemingly cruel decisions are made now and we face the shege for a limited time or we keep passing the shege from one tenure to another. IF YOU DON'T BELIVE ME, ASK YOURSELF, WHAT DOES NIGERIA PRODUCE? We keep shouting natural resources natural resources, even oil we no fit refine am.....NO BE JUJU BE THAT?

Some schools had nursery level at the primary school so it is possible but I doubt many of them existed in the 80s.

She could have stopped at not flushing and her story would be much more believable but she had to throw in the not cleaning his bum part and now that is just ridiculous......Person wey no dey wipe yansh no fit survive that show for so long......Nobody else noticed his stinky bum? GTFO
