Politics / Re: Godwin Emefiele Resumes Duty After Annual Leave by Cotton(m): 12:32pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
ImDStar:If they are suffering, allow them. You think you are the sole custodian of knowledge, bad mouthing anyone for their choice of President. We, that support APC know why we are supporting that party. We know what Nigeria suffered under PDP rule and suffered to rescue this country from the hands of the PDP. We can also see the giant strides the nation has taken in the last eight years. yes there is insecurity, inflation and other social ills but we are addressing them with time. We know our problems and the solution but most of you young people believe that the fortunes of a country can be changed in 4 or 8 years. No it can't but most of y'all are too ignorant to possess vision. You can't describe colours to a blind man. Now we have Peter Obi, a core PDP member who was shafted and decided to cross carpet in order to achieve his ambition. Most of you believe that when he becomes President he will wave a magic wand and everybody will be rich. The problem I have with this young generation is that they don't read which makes them ignorant and ripe for fucking over-and they don't even realise it! 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Andrew Yakubu: Court Acquits ex-NNPC GMD In Whose House $9.8m Was Found by Cotton(m): 10:59pm On Mar 31, 2022 |
Our youths don't have thinking skills. Everybody here is shouting but nobody has mentioned the law. He was charged with a particular crime and the EFCC could not prove it so he has to be acquitted. He said the money was accumulated gifts from persons. No money was found missing in the discharge of his duties. It is not enough to be sensational and shout, you also have to provide evidence. Giving gifts to public officers is not against the law. It is only against the law when it is given for them to do or not to do their duty. EFCC would need to show that the money is not his and where it came from. He can simply say that it is accumulated cash savings, he doesn't have to prove otherwise. The same thing with Tinubu and bullion van...it is not an offence for bullion van to enter your compound o! You have to prove what it was carrying and so many other things. The way the law works is different from emotional sensationalism. The law is meant for both the innocent and the guilty. |

Politics / Re: Fulani Residents Reject Eviction From Bushes In Delta by Cotton(m): 10:27am On May 25, 2020 |
Coldie: Your thought processes are representative of your generation. Go and study the cattle routes. Markets are in the south. Onitsha is the largest market for that Asaba herder settlement. Secondly who are "these people?" Let me tell you, they are Nigerians so your ethnically inclined statements are not progressive. Hausa communities have been dotted throughout Delta State for many many years. It isn't a today thing. When you start chasing out any tribe from anywhere, but just on the grounds of their tribe then you are wrong. Not only is it illegal, it opens room for retaliation. |

Politics / Re: Buhari Signs Bill On Financial Autonomy Of State Legislature, Judiciary by Cotton(m): 4:31pm On May 23, 2020 |
KLand: Yes, both state legislature and judiciary will receive their funding directly from the federation account. It weakens the powers of the governor to an extent. It is a good thing. What is the worse that could happen after implementation? Even if current legislators may show indifference or feigned loyalty, going forward legislators can be more effective in passing laws that would benefit their constituencies rather than those that benefit the governor. 1 Like |

Family / Re: Do I Build A Small House Now Or Keep Saving? by Cotton(m): 12:11pm On May 02, 2020 |
Change your money to USD and wait. Inflation is going to skyrocket soon. US is printing money. We are still import dependent. Subsidy has been removed. The pandemic won't last forever so by late this year most economies would have recovered. Oil price will rise and so will the dollar. Maybe early next year you can assess the environment, hopefully your money would have moved from 11m t0 13m. The business sector is too volatile right now. Just buy USD and wait. |
Health / Re: COVID-19: Lockdown Or No Lockdown - Which Side Are You? by Cotton(m): 10:07am On Apr 28, 2020 |
Iamgrey5:Instead of testing individuals they take samples from a group and that sample represents the group. It is acceptable but not the best method. Especially with an unknown virus. |

Iamgrey5:These countries are testing based on pools and not individuals (at least Ghana is). Nigeria is testing individuals which takes more time but is more accurate. |
Health / Re: COVID-19: Lockdown Or No Lockdown - Which Side Are You? by Cotton(m): 4:28pm On Apr 26, 2020 |
izzou: You've said it all. We can be here talking rubbish about the economy but when things overcome us we will be begging for lockdown. Do you worry about the economy in the middle of a war? Yes people will suffer and die but more people will die if we don't get this under control. If ever we lose control we will need intervention from outsiders and that would come at a significant cost. Is it the outsiders that would not enforce a lockdown before they get control? Even if a vaccine is discovered, do you know how long it would take to vaccinate all Nigerians? Before that vaccine can be successfully administered there would be a lockdown. It is operational protocol. 3 Likes |

Politics / Re: Governors Agree On 14-Day National COVID-19 Lockdown by Cotton(m): 9:15am On Apr 23, 2020 |
Martinola:I am sorry sir but you are wrong. A government can not be better than its people. We as citizens are terrible. We have a national crisis yet some people will say "I must go to church/mosque" or "nothing like Corona virus" thereby compounding the problem. It is a simple directive. Stay at home and no gatherings yet we flout it with our "I too sabi" sense of false security. If we as citizens cannot do better by way of social cooperation, ethnic and religous tolerance then don't blame the leaders that emerge. |

joshjc:Depends on the circumstances. but generally when you go abroad, the power balance shifts. The man is not expected to be pampered by the wife. The wife is not expected to be a servant to the husband. Everybody has to pull their weight. Women don't have to take shit. In Nigeria women take a lot of shit. Again it may be the woman's fault. Some marry just to be able to travel then they get divorced as they had ulterior motives. 5 Likes |

Charleys:Charleys, that the fact that new yam festival is held annually in the east doesn't mean that is where the majority of our yams come from. The yam they call Onitsha yam is from the North. While we do farm yam in the south east, it is certainly not in the quantities that the north does. |

Politics / Re: COVID-19: FG May Extend Lockdown As Cases Rise To 305 by Cotton(m): 8:59am On Apr 11, 2020 |
[quote author= post=88313413]We believe It is for everyone's good health. If LOCKDOWN came early in Italy, USA and the other countries severely affected by Coronavirus, it won't be as deadly as this. Palliative measures is all we ask for, for the poor among Nigerians and those that make their daily bread selling on a daily basis. We wish the last 2 presidents before our darling Daddy were named Obama and That is the only way Donald could ever had something to fall back on to be able to share 2 trillion dollars for all Americans in this pandemic period. The 2 trillion dollars being shared was not left by anyone, it is being printed by the Fed. |
Celebrities / Re: Police Take Funke Akindele To Court With Her Husband, JJC Skillz Over Lockdown by Cotton(m): 12:16pm On Apr 06, 2020 |
hedonister:There will be a law under which the police are acting. Emergency powers have been invoked by the Federal Government and basically it is as if we are at war without the violence. She could be termed a saboteur, flaunting emergency regulations or something like that, but trust me, there will be a valid charge. A lot of us think that we don't have laws in Nigeria but we do. It is the enforcement that is lacking and once the law is enforced albeit sparingly, people are surprised. 8 Likes |

The economic cost is being felt by everybody but preserving as many lives as possible is paramount. It is better for an afflicted man to starve to death in his house than to go out and infect people while looking for food thereby spreading the virus. |
