Politics / Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by MajeOfficial: 11:51pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
read this thread. read the imo thread. read the Abia thread. it always ends it the respective state v. anambra. anambra is the common denominator. perhaps the Anambra people on here are different from the average one I've met (which aren't that bad), but that's always the unfortunate consequence of making an igbo thread. if yorubas aren't attacking you, anambrans are. it's very embarrassing because they do it so brazenly as if the world can't log on to the internet and see that igbos aren't serious. I have no problem with Anambra and honestly believe it's the most important state in Nigeria because it's success will change the fate of the SE, SS and Middle belt. That being said, even if there's problems between enugu and anambra, why not be enlightened enough to let the go now that it's a new generation's turn to make new rules. |

Politics / Re: Amaechi Adamant, Vows Not To Step Down As Nigeria Governors Forum Chairman by MajeOfficial: 9:52pm On Jun 04, 2013 |
Amaechi needs to know his long term goal and unlike many nigerians, learn the concept of 'lose the battle to win the war'. I highly doubt Amaechi came to be the governor's forum leader, a powerless and useless position. He thus can't waste too much political capital time and energy fighting it. |
Politics / Re: Foreign Investors Pour Into Nigeria As Economy Accelerates (Updates) by MajeOfficial: 10:04pm On Jun 02, 2013 |
lakside s: With all this, yet nigerians are still sufferingprimarily illiterates. social and literal illiterates there are people in Lagos that don't know there are malls in Lagos. They don't know how to apply for jobs and their thinking is not modern enough to adapt to the new economy. The new growth situation favors modern people and modern thinkers. Many of those being left out are ajepakos waiting for their big bros to higher them into a bank. A few of the kids i grew up with are working for radio stations, fast food outlets, labs, and telecoms. Another portion of the kids i grew up with are in Senegal, Malaysia, and India begging for employment, pushing drugs and in one case attempting to sell their kidney. Ajepako thinking isn't built for the modern world and those being left out of the modern nigeria are typically not modern thinkers. These people will go to Lagos and look for a motorpark to go extort at before they apply for a reasonable job in a reasonable way. You can't blame it on the country anymore 1 Like |
Nairaland / General / Re: Does Flogging Have A Place In Modern Nigerian Society? by MajeOfficial: 10:18pm On May 29, 2013 |
elhadjkoko: So Kidnappers, Boko Haram, MEND, cultists, Area boys, herdsmen, ethic rioters, thugs, and armed robbers in Nigeria aren't serial killers or killers in large scale? I think that the schools where beating is outlawed may be more indisciplined because the teachers themselves don't know how else to instill respect and discipline other than intimidation and fear. We had a teacher in one of my classes in the US. He, of course, would never beat you, but he was intelligent, and well respected by the students. If anyone did anything immature such as talking in class would simply pause and look at them until they're done. This caused the person to stop immediately and everyone else feared doing anything that will cause him to pause and look at them. Because the students respected him as a man, they wanted him to respect them as well, and when he looked at them in disappointment, they would force themselves to stop because someone they respect and look up too is showing them that their action is childish. The man who's words have been the most listened to in this history of human kind was Jesus Christ. Jesus didn't beat his followers. Jesus didn't intimidate anyone. Jesus spared the rod, but in his actions and his purity his followers respected the strength of his peace and we he spoke they would listen. He is akin to the parent that 'doesn't need to beat' his 'students' because they respected him so much that they were ready to listen to him and his ideas on a better world. I'm not saying that everyone should be christ, but the most popular entity in the history of mankind is christ. He is the most followed (because Christianity is the world's largest faith), and he didn't inflict pain or intimidation on anyone. To say that the method of not hurting your subjects doesn't work is to go against something Christ himself proved in the bible. 1 Like |

donwilz: Please, tell that to an ignorant person. Flogging has been part of our culture way before the colonial period. Generally, in my own experience, Nigerian kids are better behaved and respectful than their oyibo counterparts . When you beat a child moderately(not kill) and equally show some love after the beating, the child learns. My parents beat me and my other siblings, today, we are all non violent and responsible. Same to the other peers of mine. We mistake 'better behaved' with 'fearful'. Should a child fear his/her protector and guardian? Are Nigerian kids truly better behaved than oyibo ones? They're having the same sex, using the same marijuana, listening to the same vulgar music, dressing the same, disrespecting each other the same etc. The difference is they won't do it infront of their parent because their parent will beat them. the end result is the nigerians adult isn't better behaved than the oyibo adult due to this upbringing. The nigerian adult has grown up beaten like a slave, and thus thinks and behaves like a slave. His self esteem is low and he has to go out of his way to prove his worth to others, often by lying and obsessing about wealth. He is quick to physically attack his fellow man. If he doesn't get his way he destroys everything around him so that nobody will get their way. He can't line up for a bus without problems. He's can't debate without insult and again physical violence, and he teaches his children no moral lessons but simply beats that child when that child does wrong and ignores everything else. Nigerian children and slaves are raises and controlled the same way. A life of labor and obedience, physical violence and intimidation when you violate your 'master', not respect or rights until you're a parent and then, because the nigerian is not used to having rights and respect, it's hard for him to understand how to give others (wife, kids, employees, citizenry, students) rights and respect because he was taught that anyone 'below him' doesn't deserve it. 1 Like |

joeyfire: Oyibos are bad behaved and nigerians are what? Think critically. Have you seen a group of oyibos trying to get on a bus? compare that to a group of Nigerians trying to get on a bus. Nigerians trying to get on a plane, Nigerians in school, Nigerians at work. Nigerians don't have the same level of discipline as their counter parts in oyibo countries. If i drop you wallet here in america. Someone will pick it up, see that that's money in it, take it to the bank, and tell them to contact me that my wallet has been found (this has happened to me). In Nigeria they will even wrestle it out of my pocket. Nigerians are very deviant and violent compared to oyibos, so you can't say oyibos are 'bad behaved' when Nigerians are forming Boko Haram and kidnappers cults. 1 Like |

nuclearboy: what happens in a future where the opposition says Jonathan ain't president?they did the last election, and they will the next. Nigerians don't know how to lose because they can't think beyond 2 days. The money and effort people use to claim 'it was rigged, let go to court' can be invested in preparing for the next election. Look at Buhari. Coming out and crying like a baby, then, without a strategy, just opposing everything GEJ says and does and blaming him for kingdom come. No strategy, just noise, now nobody wants to hear it because it's old. He could have used the time to groom heirs to his political throne so that in the next election the new buhari and succeed him and CPC is still matter but his brand is dead, his party is dead, everything. This pro-gej faction is the same thing. No strategy, no plan, no just attack at all angles at all times for no reason. how can an election of 25 men be rigged? stupid. |
Nairaland / General / Re: Does Flogging Have A Place In Modern Nigerian Society? by MajeOfficial: 5:25am On May 25, 2013 |
LOL but the opposite has seem to be true. Spanking a child teaches a child that if he wants to impose his will on another person (get that person to do what they want or correct that persons behavior), that violence is a way to do it. Studies have shown that kids that are beat are more likely to beat others and get into physical altercations. If you look at Nigeria, people fight in the open street. People are so ready to fight that any minor argument turns into slaps and punches or shirt grabbing. I've noticed that my friends that weren't beat growing up, even when they're angry, will seldom hit another person. Some of them have got mad at a person and stupidly hit a wall with their fist. I used to think it was crazy but I've come to realize it's because the idea of hitting a person to them is very outrageous. To us it's normal. If words don't work, you hit. Sometimes you hit before using words. You have to wonder if this is why Nigerians that lose elections start inflicting pain and damage on others. We've been thought that violence is an alternative to dialogue and intelligence in commanding respect. Nigerians have been beating their kids since Adam, but Nigeria is rife with violence crime, deviance and moral decay at levels that are hard to top anywhere else in the world, so I've began to think maybe we're the ones that have it wrong. As a child i was scolded like any other Nigeria. It wasn't till now, in my mid twenties, that I realized how violent of a person i was. I had gotten into more fights than most of my friends, and I've hit more people than most of my friend, whom their parents didn't spank or scold. I'm not a bad guy, I have no criminal record, and im very disciplined, but i found myself getting physically quickly and now i realize it was an insane way of thinking and encourages stupidity and an inability to solve a problem or have true discipline (not act on instinct when tested. I think i will hit my sons moderately so that they aren't soft and can defend themselves if need be, but i never want to create a situation where they're afraid of me or anyone. I won't hit my daughters at all so that if a man hits them they don't think it's 'a normal thing'. Men beating their wives comes from men being beat as boys, they learn that it's 'how you exert authority'. A real man shouldn't have to lift a finger for his wife to listen or respect him and fear/pain isn't respect 17 Likes |

There are those who's cultural habits and norms are hard to change and either won't or take a great deal of time and effort. As the common Nigerian is now more exposed to the way things are done in other societies I'm curious as to how many of you still feel flogging is still an appropriate way to discipline children? I have been hearing more and more Nigerians say they're against it, what's your opinion? |

Politics / Re: Okorocha Threatens To Arrest Idle Youths by MajeOfficial: 9:44pm On May 21, 2013 |
If the kids go to their representative and tell them what they want to do, the rep will look for it. I'm assuming that while they're waiting they aren't going to be able to be arrested because they're registered as waiting. If they simply refuse it's their own fault I think it's a great idea though at first when I read about it i thought it was foolish. Many of the unemployed in Nigeria are unemployed because they want someone to make them a minister of petroleum for no reason with no experience or education. Until someone makes them a minister they feel 'too big' for 99% of the open jobs in Nigeria. I don't feel bad for people that complain of unemployment in Nigeria because there is always something to do in the country. Underemployment is the real issue because most people don't get paid enough to survive but unemployment in nigeria, Imo in particular usually comes from the arrogance of the unemployed. Okorocha has done the right thing. If people can't be humble and work for their daily bread regardless of the job then they're creating a problem for the rest of society because so much needs to be done in Nigeria and so many refuse to do anything. 1 Like |
