Why Do Nigerian Women Hate Smoking So Much? 45% of our Men does it, but 99.9% of Women are not into it.The few ones that does it, are termed as a prostitute, or looked down upon by Nigerians. Why this?

Pls don't quote me wrongly, the purpose of this thread is not to encourage smoking but to get explanation from Nairaland deep thinkers of what could be the probable cause of it. but from my own observation, When i was opportuned to visit USA (Miami, Florida) to be precise. I was forced to compare and contast the social live styles of our Women with theirs as regard to smoking and drinking. I noticed about 45% of them were habitual smokers.

Note: Pls don't abuse me on my thread if you have nothing good to say just view and leave or else i'll give you the feedback you wanted

Pls your comment is needed.

Why do people like justifying their belief with nonsense statistics? Who came up with the figure that 45% of Nigerian men smokes? If you want people to take you seriously stop padding your post with false information!

Drivers don't push trucks Oga, dey drive trucks, dere is a difference between some one dat drives a truck and a common road side truck pusher. Idiot like u, im sure ur brain has gone on vacation or its thinking of ur so called virgins in heaven. What an illusion. Y'all need to under go psychiatric examination. America kor Ojuelegba ni. Oponu

Whether they push it or drive it, the fact remains they make more than you slowpoke! Since you are so smart, how come you don't know that here in America there are no truck pushers unless you meant cart pushers? I know your kind champion on Nairaland, failure in life. It's okay tho, just do the inevitable and hang yourself but if you feel your pathetic life is still worth living and you just need money to eat then just say so, I can still spare you a few Benjamins!

sunshine1974:
Lest I forget, u said u push truck in the US, I pray u don't plan to bomb the US anytime soon? I will just advise u to shelve d idea because guantanamo will be ur destination. Fool.

Lol, the audacity! Even push truck drivers in the U.S are better than scums like you, an average push truck driver makes over $20,000 a year that's 4 million naira a year, you pathetic fool, how much do you make?

sunshine1974:
Islam is the culprit! All over the world whenever terrorists are bin mentioned it goes with Islam Infact it is usually "islamic terrorist alshababa, islamic terrorist alqaeda, islamic state of Syria, islamic islamic islami!!!" u shld be ashamed of urself. If I were born a Muslim I wld ve converted since to bhudism or hinduism. Have u ever had of any terrorist groups linked to christianity? Dis people read quran and shout allahu akubar b4 slaughtering their victims and u still say dey are not muslims....No dey are catholics, rubish

Oponu! Come here in the U.S and see how ordinary Americans are blowing people up due to mental problems, from school shootings to mail bombs. Go to Norway and ask them about the Norwegian bomber. If I was you, I would just go and hang myself, because based on what you wrote above it is clear you are very ignorant and dissatisfied with your life. It's not your fault tho, if your parents and the Nigerian education system had done its job, you would have been more informed and realize not all Muslims are terrorists, you would have looked at history and see that since the 16th century man has been spreading terror all in the name of religion. Let's put that aside, how can anyone take you seriously? You're pathetic! If I'm to believe the crap you wrote above then it would mean every Muslim in the world is evil, which we all know is false. So spare me the bullsh*t and go fark yourself!

sunshine1974:
U say christianity was reformed, I agree oya u people shld go and reform Islam too na, it's people like u dat makes extremism stronger because u wldnt come out clear to condemn it! My broda what is bad is bad. U talk about slavery, im sure u don't know ur mohammed had slaves ba.

Please shut the fark up! I've always condemned extremists but I refuse to label Islam as the culprit and I refuse to see all Muslims as evil!

I dont need your apology cos its worthless to me.
And i knew you'l take the easy way out by simply recommending google since you'v gat nothing to corroborate your lies with.
Next time, try not to claim knowing what you actually know not mister, cos you'l only be decieving your sorry self.
Personally, i do not blame muslims for the evil they perpetrate, i blame islam cos its the root of all these evils. That is the bitter truth.

Islam has always encouraged violence as seen both in ancient times & our present time. And this shall surely continue into the future till the end of time. So your myopic assumption that islam will be reformed or whatever is mere wishful thinking.

The slave trade you keep mentioning was also perpetrated by arab muslims. Some muslim countries have also had civil wars in their nations. Hence, your failed attempt to present these vices as justified by christianity has been woefully defeated.
Remember, its only when you admit the truth that the truth shall set you free from the shackles of sin.

I really don't have time to educate you, the Nigerian education system should have done that but since you insist then I must comply. All the rubbish you wrote above just proves your ignorance! Let's open the Bible and the Koran and see which one does not have reference to some violence and don't tell me it's all just the old testament You want to blame Islam go ahead but bigots like you will only give extremists the ammunition they need to keep killing people, instead of you to argue based on facts, you come here start shouting baseless sentiments, if we should go back in history, you'll see the same extremism in Christianism before it was reformed. Furthermore you douche, the slave trade I'm talking about is one involving the thousands of black people taken by European colonists to the Newfoundland, forced to work for their white masters because the whites believed God created them above all things and the blacks were basically animals. The ironic thing here is that some of the Europeans ran away from England due to religious prosecution, they did not agree with Catholicism and preferred a new way to practice Christianity. Do you know how many Jews were killed during the Middle Ages? Yea I bet you don't. My friend before you come here and spew rubbish, I suggest you educate yourself more, for your convenience I've attached some links to assist your quest for knowledge!

Your comparing war and once in a life time Bomb explosions by a retard to all the Islamic cults of Isis,alqawda, boko haram, Hezbollah, etc etc... The truth of the matter is that the world would be safe without these animals, slaves were 500 years ago buddy..

Dude what does it matter? Whether now or 500 years ago, humans have always used religion as an excuse, does it mean we should blame the religion? Heck no! Religious leaders should be prosecuted for manipulating illiterate/ignorant followers. Would the world be better without extremists? Yes, Islamic or other faith based, any excuse to use religion as a weapon should be outlawed!

limamintruth:
Lol, hope you are aware that being hasty to call another 'stu..pid' doesnt make you any smarter right?

If really you know so much, why dont you share with us facts that prove your claim about the whites reciting Holy Bible verses as justification for both the civil war & slave trade they indulged in??? Failure to do so only portrays you as another pathetic ignoramus disguising as a smart-ass wannabe

(And dont forget that ancient arab muslims also practised slave trading in the past and fought so many wars wherein they massacred many)

I'l repeat, stop trying to justify the violence your fellow islamists are known to be fond of and admit that your islamic ideology is the cause of all these blood thirst affecting millions of muslims around the world.

You are right, perhaps stup.id wasn't the best choice of words but I do not apologize for it. When you use degrading words on another person's religion then it makes you look ignorant. In addition, it is not my job to educate you on history nor is it my job to make you feel significant, Google can educate you on religious justifications of the slave trade. I'll never support Islamic militants or any other terror group which kills in the name of religion but to judge all Muslims based on the violent acts of a few is nomadic on your part.

limamintruth:
And who told you that muslims only became violent recently?
Muslims have always been violent right from the time of their bloodthirsty prophet Muhammed.
Thus, your silly argument is irrelevant; try something else please.

P.S: Neither the norwegian bomber nor the U.S military justify their attacks using the Holy Bible. Unlike your fellow muslim brethren who always chant 'allah ahkbar' before slaughtering hapless christians.
Also, Civil wars are not religious wars; only illiterates dont know that fact. Or would you say that the Nigerian Civil war was a religious war also?

Amazing, you deserve an award for your stupidity? I suggest you go and read about the U.S civil war and what the Confederates used to justify their reason for owning slaves. Furthermore I suggest you brush up on your political science skills and find out the U.S justification for defending Israel whether or not they are wrong! Finally I can write a book on how throughout history Christianity has killed more people than any other religion but I would leave that up to you to research, I still maintain my point, all other religions have gone through reformation, Islam is the only one yet to go through this change, it is high time Islam gets reformed but that can't be done when Bigots like you choose to label all Muslims as evil, peace out niccur!

And the award for best f*ckin story goes to...........9 years without sex and now all of a sudden you want sex at the age of 50, post menopause, cool zobo!

dckelvin:
lols,
I know you are a Yoruba boy.
I don't need anybody to tell me cos I can always identify Yoruba people through their behaviour,attitude & speech,Envy & jealousy. & anger. & hatred towards people who are far greater. & better dan them.
I can clearly see that inherent Anger. & envy. & jealousy in all you ryt up.

Jealous of what exactly? Is it your wealth? or good looks? Please stop clowning yourself, niccur you ain't sh*t!

Please try to post the name of the companies whenever issues like these arises, not only will it help others in believing your situation but it will help those who might find themselves in such situations. Now to your question, there's no crime in looking for better opportunities while gainfully employed, the crime however is being in a sensitive position and interviewing with a rival company. Now if your friend is not at risk of the later then he should go into the interview with confidence and use his current experience to sell himself.

dckelvin:
hahajahahhahahahahha.
so what do u wana claim now?
A US citizen?
hahahahahhaha
you Yorubas can never cease to amaze me.
US-wanna-be.
lols.
we already have called Oohlalah claiming to be A south african.
hahahahhaha.
Yoruba pple,hmmmm
chai.

Hey clown, I am a U.S citizen, also a Nigerian citizen and I'm a proud Yoruba guy, do you have a problem with that?

dckelvin:
sorry for you.
you need the support of world power before the UN can listen to you.
UN can only give you direct attention if you go through war to actualized the freedom.
pls don't die yet wait for the dream to be actualized then you too can go ahead & kill urselves or commit suicide.

Sorry for yourself! I repeat the U.S congress does not have time for such nonsense! We've got enough issues of our own to deal with and don't have time for crybabies!

Please stop deceiving people, this is not a Congressional hearing. The United States Congress does not have time for such nonsense!

francizy:
If this will make you calm your nuts.. Yes am bigoted because I wish for peaceful coexistence. Now can I have peace or do you wanna kill me for spilling out my mind?

You can speak your mind but if such utterances could lead to more problems instead of solutions then I suggest you keep shut! You said you want peaceful coexistence, well dummy you don't get that by bashing another religion! If left to me I would eradicate all religions because it's all the same thing, some fools thinking they can dictate to others not only what to worship but how and when!

WombRaiders:
Then stop defending crap

You stubborn goat

Who are you to call it crap, you demented smurf!

miky:
Name any region that has in the 20th or 21 century had so much violence as a certain one?? This is not the dark ages of idiots, its 2015 and some people are still stoning people

Your stupidity is gigantic! Even 1 or 2 instances of violence in the name of religion is enough proof that violence is not just an Islamic thing, go and ask the Norwegian bomber, or the many people killed post Civil war in the U.S because the Whites believed God gave them right to own slaves, go to Oklahoma and ask why an abortion center was bombed all in the name of religion. You are right it is 2015 but that does not mean we should forget what happened in the past, in as much as other religions have a dark history, then you have no right to bash Islam. Instead the focus should be how to educate the ignorant ones so they can stop their ignorant ways, you might not agree with stoning and that's fine, but if their people agreed to it then who are you to judge them?

WombRaiders:
Fark off.

Reform your cult and stop criticising other religions

It's not my job to reform the religion or any other religion, so go fark yourself!

WombRaiders:
Just in Suicide bombing in Saudi mosque and also another bomb went off in Yemen with ISIS claiming responsibility.

So if at the heart of Islam you still have violence and tension then it shows either moslems are not in agreement on their religion or something is fundamentally wrong with this mad man religion.

You are talking to the wrong person about religious unity, tell me the religion you belong to and I'll bring out many evidence of violence and killings all in the name of religion. No religion is worth bloodshed, no religion can justify it, what's happening in the Islamic world has happened to other religions, the problem is not religion but human interpretation. Who are we to fight for God? He is more than capable to defend himself, true Muslims understand what I've just wrote, it's only the illiterate, manipulative ones that would disagree!

francizy:
So how did the cartoon from a "Danish newspaper" white men relate to Nigerian Christians? But Christians were murdered in cold blood. If you are blinded enough not to see the correlation, then face your course. Nigerian Christians has been killed on several ocassions for what they know nothing about, even during some protests against Israel's bombing of Paki.

Who are the ignorant set here? The ones killing people for no reason or the ones condemning the acts?

Say the truth and be set free.
Live and let live.

When you calm down and learn to read then maybe you'll start making sense, instead of using baseless rhetoric try to look at the facts. The Denmark cartoon and this incidence are in no way similar! This case here is between muslim group and should in no case involve the killing of innocent Christian. I know you are trying to justify the bigotry in your heart but just calm down okay!

MKO4ever:
You must be drunk or you don't know how to read, where in the post says "an Hausa muslim making offensive statement in a Sharia court"? rather what was posted was "The sect leader was said to have “made unguarded statements against prophet Muhammad last week”, during his usual preaching at Goron Dutse General area of Kano metropolis"

Are you deliberately ignorant or is that just the way you are? The man is a muslim belonging to an Islamic sect, if all you can pick out of my statement is the Sharia court then you are just a troll!

WombRaiders:
Shatap

So it should be Ok if moslem morons kill their fellow moslems and burn a sharia building?

You fool

And you are wise? If not that you have eyes and can't see or have brains but can't comprehend, you'll realize my comment was aimed at those bashing Islam for the stupidity of a few. Killing of any human is wrong and evil no matter the religion but to blame Islam for issues resulting from misinterpretation and illiteracy is just plain silly!

francizy:
They are right for the comments here because it mostly ends in a Christian, non-religious and non-hausa/Fulani Muslim blood bath.

A good example for you to ponder on is the Denmark cartoon. Then tell me how he was/is related to a Nigerian that Nigerian Christians had to pay for the cartoonist's stupidity with their lives.

Sorry but what you wrote don't make sense! How's this situation similar? This involves an Hausa muslim making offensive statement in a Sharia court, how does it involve Christians? I think before you start making senseless comments and causing more people to look at your kind as ignorant, I suggest you refrain from your assumptive nature and your sentimental attitude!

Ignorance is truly a disease! Did you people read at all? Sharia court, statement made by Muslim entity yet for some reason you bigots still feel oppressed, most of you silently wishing a Church was named or a Christian was hurt so that you can validate your point but as you can see these are ignorant Muslims protesting a statement made by an even more ignorant person. It does not involve Christians, so bigots give it a rest!

If you believe this then you are a monkey's uncle! 52 year old birthed a child, post menopause, okay the Zobo is cold, so let me drink am a little. The child was delivered with beads in hand, impossible! This Zobo na brain freeze, drink at your own peril! Assuming we all don't discard the laws of anatomy and common sense, where the pix na? At least new born baby with such miraculous birth should have been snapped over and over again, only pix I see is that of a month old baby, I smell lies

A lot of people here are being deceitful either knowingly or unknowingly! So let's get down to the basics. Firstly when it comes to custodial issues in Nigeria, the man maintains custody 90% of the time unless it can be proving in court that he's irresponsible or financially incapable. In addition, it is up to the Judge to decide whether shared custody can even be considered, it all depends on how much evidence one party can produce against the other. Furthermore issues of domestic violence or abuse are very delicate, I would like the OP to elaborate more on when the issues started, the efforts made to resolve the issues and the people involved such as family members, religious leaders and so on..... This is Nigeria, not London or America, we are still bound by traditional/societal values! Lastly, if it's true that the situation cannot be resolved then what the man is asking for is not too much, pay your fair share and see your kids. I believe any responsible parent would want the best for the kids and since you left your matrimonial home without them, it means you trust the man to take care of them, if I'm mistaken and your story of abuse is true then by all means go to court but be prepared to spend emotionally, financially and psychologically. Remember this is not about he said or she said, you must provide proof of abuse, credible witness and so on, if you cannot do this and the man is able to provide substantial evidence against you, then not only will you lose custody but you'll end up paying your fair share and then some!

Lies, lies and more lies. The problem is not paracetamol, the problem is prolonged use. Now what they fail to define is prolonged use, is it 3 days in a row? 5 days? 1 month? 3 months? Any pain reliving drug is dangerous when abused, there are no scientific evidence to support male over female preference. It's all hogwash! It's like telling a pregnant white lady that taking Tylenol or Aleve will harm her baby, she'll just look at you as if you're crazy. This is something they've been taking all their lives.

There's no way, nothing you do can make you any reasonable profit! The amount is way too small to even contemplate on doing business. The most sensible thing to do here is to look for a start up business looking for funding, offer to become an investor and they pay you an ROI greater than 100%.

Most of them probably don't know that she makes more than that every day, from performance to album sales to adverts and so much more. We talking about a mega platinum diva here and a black person for that matter, of course she gon show swag! $20,000 just 4 million naira, she probably spends more than that on her pet per week
