OP- I'm going to be very frank with you! As a child all the way till my first year in the university I was flogged often and mercilessly by my father and/or uncle. The worst thing with my father is that he didn't just stop at the flogging, he would deprive me of food, make me walk to school during my secondary school days and as if that was not bad enough, he wouldn't stop speaking bad about me everywhere he went. I've been embarrassed publicly many times by him and I often wondered if I was adopted or stolen. I grew a deep hatred for him but things changed all of a sudden when I decided to stay away and be a MAN! I decided to stay in school and hustle, I would cut grass, beg, even sold handouts just to survive. This single act of courage stopped all the maltreatment, he started seeing me more as independent and would often tell people that he doesn't know why I don't come to see him, he doesn't know why I don't ask for money or for him to pay my school fees. OP You have to be strong and claim your independence, it's not about fighting him or being rude, it's about removing that layer of dependency and being your own person. This is your father's point of view, he feeds you, clothes you and provides shelter for you, he basically owns you! This is the way most African parents think and until you prove that you are not a leech, he'll continue to maltreat you. I just laughed when I read your post because to most people 48 strokes seems brutal but to me I don chop am many times, I've been punched, kicked even bashed on the head with a kondo all by the same man but today I thank God, 15 years ago I couldn't even dream of a peaceful life and that peaceful life did not come until I let go of all the hatred. Free your mind young lad and look at the bigger picture! |
How does someone withdrawal 45 million from his bank account without the bank conducting a review. This just shows how backward most Nigerian banks are. Best thing for this man is to do a name change immediately, this way he can continue living his life in a remote part of town or village. |
Ignorance of the highest order! The Ayatollah is not the leader of ISIS, the Ayatollah is the supreme leader of Iran. In an attempt to paint the president as an extremist, you ignorant wailers can't even do proper research, how pathetic are your lives right now? Merely looking at the source alone makes me chuckle and before you all start screaming that the Ayatollah is an extremist, remember 90% of the world leaders have had a meeting with him at one point or the other, the Ayatollah is more powerful than most presidents or prime ministers in the Middle-East. |
princejayboss:Epic reply from a goat with nothing to offer. I have just quoted you, waiting for you to ruin my PC, if you don't ruin it then your entire lineage is bastardized! |
princejayboss:Funny you should mention business, my second degree is an MBA with a concentration in Information Technology. When you use the word "ALL" to mean 98% it shows pure ignorance! For example: 98% of Christians pay tithe therefore ALL Christians pay tithe. Can you see how illogical it sounds? That's your first lesson, free of charge, no need to thank me! When I mentioned I minored in theology that does not mean the degree itself was in theology, you really need to expose yourself to global education, once again ignorance is to blame! Lastly, if I resided in Nigeria, I would have been worried about your income joke but seeing as I probably make more money than you've seen in your entire lifetime in just a year, I'll let you slide ![]() |
fejikudz:I'm really getting tired of people not knowing what they are talking about. Where did you get the fact that all terrorist groups are Muslims? Let me help you out here and outline the basics: 1. A Muslim is well versed in the Quran. You might speak Arabic but that does not make you a Muslim, many of these terrorist speak Arabic because they are from the Middle East but some of them have no religion or are pagans. 2. A Muslim does not battle or kill innocent people. This is one of the principles of the Islamic religion. 3. A Muslim killing other Muslims cannot be called a Muslim. ISIS and Boko Haram have killed more Muslims than most of you people will ever know but the media would have you believe they only kill Christians. A reporter recently interviewed a former ISIS recruit and discovered most of them couldn't even read the Quran, so tell me how can you call them Muslims? Could it be that your idea of a Muslim is anyone that can speak Arabic? In conclusion, the Islamic world is in trouble because of misguided souls and extremism but real Muslims are speaking out against terrorism such as ISIS and Boko Haram. Many want peace but the truth is there's no reasoning with terrorist, they should be captured and disposed off in anyway possible as they are not only a danger to Christians but to everyone in the world! |
princejayboss:Can you see why I said you should have read your books? First you said all terrorist are Muslims, now you've changed it to 98% of terrorism has a link to Islam. Hey bastaaard what happened to the other 2%? Unlike some of you trolls copying verses out of the Quran to justify your hatred, I actually minored in theology for my third degree; apart from that coming from parents with mixed religion has helped me understand more about the different perspectives. So I laugh when I see dumbass comments from ignorant Nairalanders like yourself, my advice to you is to stick to tribalism as religious topics are obviously too complicated for your limited I.Q! |
If a woman can't cook, wash or iron, what exactly differentiates her from a chick on the streets. Well I guess there's a difference between a woman and a wife. Any wife worth anything would know how to cook, wash and/or iron, you might not be the best at it, you might not do it all the time but knowing you've got those essential skills makes you more than just a piece of flesh! Thank Goodness with modernization, most people take the stress out of cooking by going to restaurants or buying food outside maybe once or twice a week. With modernization we have washing machine and dryers, so no excuse! |
princejayboss:When they ask you to concentrate on your studies you were busy playing ball, see your life now! Adolf Hitler, Norwegian bomber, Timothy McVeigh and so on, all of them were Muslims abi, you should be flogged! |
tonychristopher:What religion do you practice, if it is Christianity are you not ashamed of it? From the raping of young boys by Catholic priests to the lavish lifestyle the famous pastors are living, are you not ashamed! History clearly proves Christianity is one of the most deadliest religions ever from the Holy Roman Catholic Church to Adolf Hitler to the KKK but we all seem to forget easily. Is the Muslim community in trouble, yes it is but just like Christianity had its revolution, Islam must have it 's own too and be free from the extremists! |
princejayboss:It's quite unfortunate that the ones claiming to be intelligent are actually the most ignorant of all. I would have loved to pick apart all your points but it would be a waste of time. So I'll just pick on two: What do you mean by that Islam is peaceful when the peaceful Qur'an encourages terrorism?..... How does the Quran encourage terrorism? Are you referring to the violent references in the Quran? Is it any different from the ones in the Bible? I suggest you take a look at the Bible reading the old and new testament before thinking one religion is better than the other! Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans for loot. Fighting is ordained for Muslims in order to defend themselves and their rights, as well as the rights of others. You have foolishly taken a verse out of context in order to justify your ill-conceived premise. The fighting ordained by God in the Qur’an is the fighting to establish justice and security in the land, and this is a duty upon all human beings. We will always hope for peace, but we must realize that without justice, freedom, rights and equity, peace will never be able to survive. You have failed to keep in mind that this was written at a time much different from nowadays, much like the Old testament of the Bible. Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing... Before u start reading the Quran u should know the background of that surah, for example in this chapter, Allah ordered to kill the non-believers; you should know when this surah was revealed. It was revealed when they were being attacked by The Quraish (enemy) and they were brutally attacking Muslims when they were praying, torturing them, killing innocent Muslims, etc. Allah told them to defend themselves by attacking the Quraish. This was completely for self defense. For example, If someone is going to attack and kill you, would you just sit there and do nothing or defend yourself? A lot of verses in the Quran were meant for that particular period of time just the same way some verses in the Bible are just not practicable in the modern world. You and the terrorists have one thing in common and that is ignorance! They kill because of their ignorance and you hate from your own ignorance! |
E ba mi kigbe Ole ====OLE! OLE!! OLE!!! |
And you expect people to believe this? SMH! I give it to you though, you are very creative, a genius in the making. 1: You did a name change how? Legally or you just took over the name without doing it in court? 2: No one in your school recognized you or your friend, how big is your department? 3: Course adviser in a Nigerian university I never knew they had so much power to change your name and seal records, no need for H.O.D again ![]() |
Why are you people so ignorant? Has anyone sat down and asked this simple question: Statistics: How did they get the data? In the news all we hear is at least 100 killed or 4 scores killed, who actually verifies this? A U.K based company would definitely need some kind of tool to back up their statement, I smell manipulated data here! Those fools would like us to believe Boko Haram is getting stronger when all their attacks are concentrated in the North unlike ISIS which is gradually expanding its reach globally. Abi una don hear of Boko Haram in France or even South Africa? |
anonimi:Would you stop it already with all the ignorant things you are doing, stop exposing yourself. Charges were dismissed against him for the 1993 case and he was cleared. He came back to the USA in 2000 then again in 2002 while Governor. He was in the USA in 2013 also, so I don't quite understand where you got your info. from. Silly Nairaland troll hiding behind his computer thinks he knows much about the world when in reality he's nothing but a novice! |
anonimi:This is why most Nigerians on Nairaland are called fish brains. I posted a graph showing you the Annual GDP growth rate for the past five years, the deviation line shows a continuous decrease from 2010 till now, who was the president from 2010 to 2014? My friend you can't argue with pure facts! Furthermore your comment on the depleted treasury seems strange to me. I'm sure you were in this country in 2013 when the news first broke out that Nigeria was going broke. I'm also sure you are aware of what led to the crash of the Naira from 2014 till this year. A wise person does not argue when the facts are clearly not in his favor. Since you are a stat guy, bring out the statistics on what was left in the treasury when GEJ left and what we have now ![]() |
Ki lo de! Look at the comments, I bet most of them didn't read the entire article. This move affects the smugglers more than the common man. 1. You can continue using your generators. 2. If you buy a generator, you are not going to get arrested, only smugglers with large quantities are affected. 3. The order does not prohibit locally made generators. 4. As time goes by, it makes sense as we would have less pollution (As long as the electricity situation improves). 5. People seriously need to focus more on inverters and solar energy, this is the future and the future is now! I could go on and on but the truth is those small generators are constituting a nuisance and the main cabals behind the poor power situation in the countries are the main sponsors of the importation of generators. This move affects them more than the common man, I only wish the ban can be extended to big generators too! |
anonimi:I still can't imagine a sensible Nigerian saying the economy was better under GEJ. If the economy was in such a great condition when he left, our treasury reserve won't be depleted, unemployment rate would be low and so on but ignorant folks like you love to create a feeling of false hope for yourselves. The same site that you got the information about Annual GDP growth rate will show you that for the past 5 years the GDP growth rate has been declining drastically. For your enlightenment I have pasted the image below, next time think with your brain!

1. This is not someone from France, you can tell by the name and the mobile network this is from the USA. 2. How does putting France's flag as Facebook profile picture boost chance of getting a visa? Most consular officers don't have time to check social media. 3. From her picture and comment it is easy to tell that she's one of the lower class citizens with low self esteem. The higher class citizens are never afraid of Africans migrating to their country because most Africans actually boost the economy, |
There's a difference between fluent and proficient. To say you are a professional in Excel means that you are able to use Macros excellently switching from data fields to graphs and pivot tables. Until you can covert a 3,000 page spreadsheet into graphs, you are probably just average. Until you can use shortcuts such as "Ctrl+C | Alt+E+S+V" I would not mention the word proficient! |
I respectfully disagree! The reason most people are showing a sign of respect for France is because it is well documented by the media. Leadership starts from the top, private companies, media and the government should have been the ones to encourage the display of solidarity whenever such events happen in Africa especially Nigeria. The real mental slavery is from bad governance and lack of foresight by our country's past and present leadership. As the face of communication for the GEJ led government, why didn't you encourage similar actions after a Boko Haram attack? You and your likes are the main problem of Nigeria! |
The company in the letter dismissed allegations of wrongdoing, explaining that it was contracted by government in 2011, when President Goodluck Jonathan was still in office, whilst Emir Lamido Sanusi was Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).Fayose has indirectly exposed his foolishness and the corruptness of the GEJ led administration. A contract awarded in 2011 signed by GEJ and yet somehow this is supposed to be the fault of APC or Buhari? Fayose nice try! |
"Islam does not promote violence, nor peace. It is just a religion just like any other in the world, and it depends on what you bring to it. If you're a violent person, you're Islam, you're Christianity, you're Hinduism, you're Judaism, it's gonna be violent. There are marauding Buddhist monks in Myanmar slaughtering women and children. Does Buddhism promote violence? Of course not. People are violent or peaceful depending on their politics, their social world, the way they see their communities, the way they see themselves..."....Prof. Reza The above quote means a lot to sensible people but absolutely nothing to ignorant folks! |
If you can date someone for 3 years and still find yourself at this melancholic stage then I doubt such relationship would ever lead to marriage. Being in a relationship with a woman requires great maturity and ability to think before acting. Sometimes words might not match actions and actions might not match your words and this can cause friction. From your write up it is clear that you are not ready to let her go, it is clear that you are still longing for the feelings of years past but my brother this is selfishness! Deep within you, you know what you are doing, you don't need any advice from us, you are just looking for a confirmation of what you know already deep within your heart. Now to the main point of your write up, you want to know how to break up with her for good? This is simple, use technology, don't give her a chance to see you face to face, block all social media contact and call her to let her know it's over. It might hurt her for a while but as time goes on she'll realize what a huge favor you've done for her. See my brother don't look at it as a break up, look at it as if you are releasing her so she can meet the guy she was truly meant to be with! |
Fashola.....my nigga! |
bbdd:Learn to comprehend instead of just reading, no one is blaming the West for our woes rather I'm blaming our Nigerian people for over dependence on Western principles. We have enough resources to be able to compete with the more advanced countries but lack the patriotism. |
bbdd:Another example of ignorance, do you people just type just for typing sake? You know nothing about me yet you make assumptions based on your own quack analysis. Even if I was based in Nigeria, I would definitely not be using a Techno phone! |
Image123:And that I fully disagree with. We have more pertinent problems than pornography! Our youths and children are still considered well mannered compared to the so called advanced countries and we don't have as much of a drug and gun violence incidents as those countries. The article makes it seem as if most Nigerian internet users have homosexual tendencies when in reality most Nigerians detest homosexuality. |
LastOkpaBender:This is the problem I have with people like you, you see but you can't comprehend! Don't you know the difference between internet users and unique internet users? Unique internet users means a different user with a different device. The source you provided is another example of manipulated Data. As a user if I connect to the internet using my phone, laptop and tablet, it would count the Data has 3 users when in reality it should be one. Also, there is an even greater difference when we factor in mobile users, those who only access the internet from their phone. So you can see we are talking about two different things. My point is Data can easily be manipulated, learn to comprehend instead of just reading! |
bbdd:Validated by which source? Skewed and manipulated Data is one of the reason 3rd world countries continue to remain slaves to the more advanced countries. A reasonable person understands the points I brought out from my own little analysis but then again from what you wrote you don't seem reasonable. For goodness sake you think Norway and Sweden are not religious countries, you are truly f*cked! |
LastOkpaBender:Okay genius, how many Nigerians know how to use Youtube? How many Nigerians can actually stream videos on Youtube considering most people are still on 2G/3G mobile network? We have less than 10 million unique mobile users in Nigeria compared to for example a country like USA with over 100 million unique users. Next time you go on Youtube type in strippers, freaks and twerking, let me know what you find. |
I challenge the OP or the source to bring out the same statistic for countries like France, USA and so on, you would be shocked to find out that the more advanced the country is, the higher the Data. I don't know about the OP but common sense would tell you that there are more porn watchers in the USA than Nigeria. Simple fact: There are more people with laptops and phones in the USA than Nigeria, the internet connection is also a lot faster. Now mix that with a society where outing one's sexuality is often encouraged and what you'll have is a very perverted society. In 2014, the popularity of Nigerian Google searches for pornography (relative to other searches) on a scale of 0 to 100 was above 80. (Google ranks as 100 any item that constitutes 10% or more of all searches in a country.) The number of average monthly searches by volume was 165,000 and the States with the greatest popularity for porn searches were: Lagos, Oyo, Delta, Rivers, Cross River and Abuja.Look at the bold part of the quote above and let it be the premise of this discussion. The statistic is based on relativity to other searches from the same country. Could this high ratio be due to the fact that majority of Nigerians hardly make use of Google search? Could it be that we have more people focused on social media than actually looking for answers on the net or could it be that as a society we are still naive in regards to what homosexuality and pornography means and the only way to educate ourselves is to search for answers on the internet? Anyway anyhow, the statistic is skewed and there's no cause for alarm, Nigeria still remains one of the more cultured countries in the world and certainly not as wayward as the more advanced countries out there! |
