God took time to bless Africa with some much resources, yet Africa remains the poorest and most backwards continent on this planet. What's wrong with the black man?

Self-fulfilling prophecy....
What’s wrong with the black man is that black men like you believe something is inherently wrong with the black man! SMH

Nigerians should learn to accept some facts. This university and the other big two are far above their Nigerian counterparts Infrastructurally and otherwise.

Do you know of that exchange students from the US are only allowed to go to South Africa, Botswana and Ghana in sub Saharan Africa? All other countries tuition are not recognized.

There is no sentiment to it.

Actually, Covenant is better...
And arguably American University of Nigeria, and even Adeleke University (although much smaller).

Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has again responded to critics mocking her for exposing her baby bump, Igbere TV reports.

The 35-year-old shared a post on Instagram on Monday, saying that she was the one carrying her pregnancy, not a surrogate mother.

According to her, she had to say it so that no one would accuse her of stealing a baby when she eventually gives birth.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CN3TjuWpfaV/?igshid=hk8w0xycubrw

The 35-year-old was recently criticised for wearing a green jumpsuit exposing her baby bump.

She has however been unperturbed, and continues to share baby bump pictures on Instagram.

Presently, she has a 6-year-old daughter Mildred.

So many Nigerians are OBTUSE...
It’s her Instagram page, if you don’t like her pictures, SCROLL ON!!!

I have noticed that yahoo boys don't last with any girl they have had intercourse with..

One told me that once he drill like 2 to 3 times he moves ahead to the next available babe...

Just yesterday one of them told me that he is going to look for fresh fish... i asked him about the babe i knew him with, he told me that her chapter have closed.. i tried to make more enquiry but he told me:Alaye if you dey game you go understand better..

I was just speechless.. now the question bothering me is what will happen to any guy that later date those yahoo used babes?

Lets discuss....................

Won’t be any different than YOU...
Since the WIFE you’re going to marry will likely have been “used” by someone else.

Even if the marriage wasn't worth it anymore, this is shameful.

And look at the league of divorcee

Don’t speak for someone else unless you’ve walked in their shoes...

Anyway, I see this as largely SYMBOLIC...
They’re people who think divorced women should be shamed and devalued, and she is giving them the metaphorical middle finger.

Nigerian lady throws a party to celebrate her divorce.

Watch video here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9zq2SXrzbY

Dr Ikea Bello’s divorce party was held last week and attended by her friends who wore red outfits.

Some of the party’s decoration had inscriptions which read “I do, I did, I’m done”, “Divorced at last”, “bye Felicia”

GOOD FOR HER!

I never even understand all these wahala

Pls someone explain better to me in pidgin pls

In summary, the (traditional) top clubs in Europe were approached by BANKERS to break away from their national leagues to form a 15-club NO-RELEGATION NO-PROMOTION “league” and share billions in television and other commercial revenue. Sort of like WWE wrestling.

flemsy15:
I knew d super league will collapse but dis will force UEFA into making serious changes in UCL , like the number of participating clubs should be increased to accommodate some big clubs that miss out on top four,
Number of matches Played should be increased by changing from group method to league method.
Thirdly, the amount given to teams should be increased too, imagine just giving 19M Euro to the champions of UCL, money that can't even buy a descent player, these clubs spend a lot and UCL makes enough money which should be distributed justly to the clubs that brought in the money

Why? What’s the incentive for a good season if they’re guaranteed CL football?
Nigerians (and most foreigners) don’t usually see beyond money, but what makes the great is the prospect of upward mobility.

No but good for football politician who sit in office doing nothing but earn more than club owners when pandemics happen there will loose nothing but club owners loose alot

It’s GREAT for the game...
You foreign JJC “supporters” have no idea what this would have done to destroy the fabric of the game.

The Day Naira Trade 2/1 Dollar, See How America admire Nigeria at the beginning 1961


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMsNqKkn-uk

Naira was not using Naira in 1961...
It was using the (Nigerian) Pound until the 1970s.

Btw, Nigeria was most “admired” under military rule in the 1970s (before most us were born)...
It was during that period that TIME magazine carried the cover story “Nigeria: The First Black Power”.

Even during Shagari’s tenure in the late 1970s...
The US, UK and most major powers laid out elaborate state receptions for him, and visas were easy to get!

This is really sad. Girls at this age were playing "ten-ten" in school in the 1990s.

Rehabilitation is a good move but please do not suspend them from school.

As girls, their education is more beneficial to them and the impact of lack of education will lead them to worse vices like prostitution, thereby wrecking more homes and the society at large.
So sad!

Education is “more beneficial” for EVERYONE, regardless of gender....

Not good, but they are merely smoking shisha...
Shisha is neither a drug nor illegal, just age restricted.

There’s NO connection between smoking shisha and any vices...
Meanwhile, myriad male students routinely smoke weed and sniff glue.

A Nigerian who recently returned from India has vented his anger concerning the was black people are maltreated in india, he also expressed how lots of innocent black people are in Indian jails just because of their skin colour.

He told the Indians "we will start treating you the way you treat us, anywhere we find you "

Andy Ruiz is now in incredible new shape a few weeks ahead of his first fight on May 1st since losing to Anthony Joshua.

The Mexican Destroyer will be back for the first time since he lost to Anthony Joshua in December 2019.

Ruiz will now face Chris Arreola in his first fight at Dignity Health Sports Park, in California.

The Mexican fighter is now leaner than ever for the fight after losing nearly two stone of weight (26lbs).

When he lost his heavyweight titles back to Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia, Ruiz had weighed 283lbs.

But Ruiz is now at 257lbs and wants to be at 255lbs.

He has continued training in California, with coach Eddy Reynoso and everyone can see the results.

Urgent advise needed I'm deported from abroad with 1 million naira only, what kind of business can i go into? I was into motorcycle parts before i travel out, but seems the government banned okada in some part of the country such as Lagos State where i started life.

I was born in 1982 and I'm still single. My parents are not happy with me, I'm seriously confused.

GOOD...
Come back and help fix your own country instead of running to other countries fixed by their own citizens!

Pernotti:
I hear a lot of complaints from guys regarding this so here's what you can do to sort it out.

First thing to remember is that never talk to her about it regardless of what anyone tells you or how bad the behavior makes you feel.. its very counterproductive because she'll never tell you the real reason she does it which is that she's just being mischievous. Besides it makes you sound whiney.

So let's say you send her a message and she takes 15mins to reply, then you should take 15mins as well before you reply her. Next, watch the time it takes her to reply that second message and this time around double that time before replying her... So if she takes 10 or 15mins to reply the second time, take 20 or 30mins respectively before you respond.

Sometimes she can be genuinely busy at work, then you can use your discretion and vary your own texting time, by sometimes responding quicker and other times taking longer to respond.

Happy dating.

CHILDISH NONSENSE...
What’s the age demographic of NLers? 12 years?!

NiRfreak:
From my experience, I've had several shits with them, it may not be enough reason to stereotype them, but I usually try my best to avoid them and not have anything serious to do with them anymore.
Some of them may be nice, but I no longer let my guard down to commit to them, I'm always wary and careful around them.

This is why I took this stand:

1. They tend to be somewhat problematic in relationship as if they carry a lot of baggage from their past relationships. Somehow they allow it to get the best of them.
.
2. Most of them are carefree, nonconformist, and inflammatory. They will shock you when you least expect. So I tread carefully.
.
3. Many of them are lesbian, or bisexual. Most of them that I have encountered are like that...u may not know though if u can't read the tell-tale signs.
.
The worst among them are the ones with dye on their short hair. My suspicion is almost always right about them.
.
4. Most ladies tend to be particular about their hair...many of them who don't give a Bleep about long beautifully made hair are somewhat saying to hell with whoever who doesn't take me as I am. And they usually live by that code, cynical of guys especially.
.
5. Many of them are smart though, albiet intelligent, and can also be fun to be with...but under that coolness, hmmm don't take it for granted. least I forget, the educated ones like to be feminist.

6...Some of them are hostile to guys, or let me say they are quite touchy and irritable.
.
So these are my reasons for avoiding them...and most of them have not given me reason to doubt them.

PS: I have no problem with elderly women who don low cut, I think it's normal for a woman, especially who have seen all fashion, gotten into menopause and have grown up kids....but these young ladies, unmarried, or middle age ladies with hair cut...I stay clear and more careful around them.
I no like wahala.
.
What's your take about them, and what do you think?

No matter what you may have lost in the short-term...
You did the RIGHT thing and will be better off for it in the long-term.

When they came for the gays/activists/minorities/etc., we kept quiet...
When they will come for us, there’ll be no one there left to help us. Human rights is everyone’s right.

Abeg make d curses go to dis bastard girl, her name is Lovette
Her number: 08160817065, 08121828607

It’s WRONG to put someone’s private personal details on a public forum without their permission...
In a civilized country, you would be in legal bother (and Nairaland should really SUSPEND your account).

Whatever the girl did to you (real or imagined)...
GROW UP, GROW A PAIR AND QUIT ACTING CHILDISHLY AND CHURLISHLY! Little wonder you probably got DUMPED!

Lovethaa:
There's this neighbor of mine , He used to be an Abuja based but work made him relocate to Lagos

To cut the Long story short we became friends after a while and we do chilli and Go out together . Although he is 5 years older than me .

He told me of his intentions to settle down as soon as possible which is right considering the fact that he is financially stable plus not getting younger ,

He recently met this babe around where we both stay and they started going out , I didn't think it was something serious until he revealed to me that he wants to marry her .

Now the issue here is that I used to know a guy that once dated the babe and after they broke up the guy revealed to me the crazy things they did and he also mentioned some of his friends that have tasted the babe in the same area too , I almost toasted her myself back then just to get a piece of the cookie but I later ignored the thought ,

So when my friend told me he wants to marry her ,It broke my heart because I felt he deserved more than a lady who had been used many times especially where he lives , Although at first I didn't want to tell him but I later opened up to him and the guy felt bad because he loves the babe but he thanked me , (Unknown to me that he had gone far as meeting the babe parents).

Long story short My friend broke up with her and the babe called me up ,laying curses on my head, Strong curses saying I won't know peace for destroying her relationship..

How she got to know I was the one who told her boyfriend I didn't know.

I blocked her numbers and warned her not to call me again because the curses were too much and she was actually crying why cursing me

Those curses and tears got me feeling uncomfortable and I have been wondering if I did anything wrong.

Was I wrong for interfering ?..Truth is I would have felt betrayed if my friend knows some secrets about my fiancee and he didn't tell,I was only putting myself in his shoes

P.s I need you honest opinion ....

SUPERSTITIOUS RUBBISH...

However, if any evil befalls you, it is well-deserved...
Btw, reading between the lines sounds like you resent the girl (perhaps for not giving it up to you).

They are fully insured! But no insurance will cover destruction caused by rioting

DelTel:
Do you know what SRCC is?

Pls don't dabble into what you don't know.

He was wrong to say “no insurance”...
But correct to the extent that standard car insurance (liability or third-party) would not cover riots.

Doubtful that anyone would ordinarily use Strike, Riot and Civil Commotion insurance for cars...
While most other insurance policies specifically exclude coverage for civil unrest, wars, acts of God, etc.

OfoIgbo:
He should have applied to MIT and Harvard university. As far as I am concerned, the two most prestigious higher institutions of learning in the US. And he may have gotten them

He would have gotten in...
And since he is interested in tech and sciences, MIT and Cal Tech would be desirable.

However, MIT and Harvard are two of the most prestigious, not the two most prestigious
Albeit Harvard arguably is the most prestigious US university on a primarily colloquial basis.
