no insult oh but u didn't say anything we are going to gain by sticking together.. I will be happy if u can be more direct in ur statements.. tell me d benefits so that others can see it as well... maybe that will help those agitating for biafra to have a rethink.

If after all this year's together as a nation u still don't see reasons why we should stay together as one. Then nothing I say can change your mind..

ozoebuka1:
thank God that you sound like someone who really mean well for Nigerian unity and u don't insult people while making ur stance. ..please Let just analyse what Nigeria stand to gain by staying as a country and what it stands to gain if it divides today without throwing insults.. tnks

To me. Nigeria stands to gain a lot if we stick together as one than if we go our separate ways. Each tribe is unique in its own way and have a lot to offer for the betterment of the country.

@OP, thanks for this beautiful thought of yours. I actually wanted to do this yesterday, but I was let down by my emotions. I watched a documentary of Nigeria's independence and how our forefathers fought for it as if their lives depended on it. I listened to Pa Awolowo, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, and Dr Nnamdi Azikwe. They were quite awesome to listen to. You could feel their passions, their dedications, their visions, and their patriotism from their speech. They had one common goal and in spite of their outward differences, they had that elusive UNITY OF PURPOSE. I encouraged all of us to search for some of those pre-independence footage to get a glimpse.

To be candid, I always laugh whenever I hear or read about the fact that we are forced together. Nobody forced us together, if Lord Lugard didn't do it, one way or the other, the force of nature would have brought us together even without firing a single bullet. A child does not choose the circumstance of his/her birth. There are some countries that could be termed "accidents of nature" just like ours, viz: United States of America, Australia, Liberia et al. Their circumstances of birth were not palatable, but they have moved on beyond that and none of them is dwelling any longer on their dark beginnings. The earlier we realise this the better.

Just like you, in the early 80's, I remember my good friends Godwin and Victor of Igbo tribe and Muttalib of Hausa. We were very fond of each other then because all our parents are friends. Nobody bothered about religion or tribe. Even the Christians among us would tell their parents not to cook pork because of some Muslims among us and the parents would oblige. Such was the love among us in those days. As it is now, if perchance all of us have the chance to come together once again, I'm not sure such love would ever exist among us. That is the consequence of bad politicking by our politicians. They have succeeded in turning all of us to pawns to further their own interests.

Are we not even thinking at all? The politicians will use us as foot soldiers whenever they are not pleased with the establishment and immediately they get what they want, the narrative changes. Imagine some of them that were shouting about "salary jamboree" before the election, do you hear from them again? I don't blame them, I can only blame a poor fellow who has been conditioned to hate another poor fellow like himself due to circumstances of his birth.

@razid God bless.
At this rate am afraid for the future of this Nation and it's citizens

truefact:
Why are you afraid of Nigeria dieing? Why don't you like your ethnic nation stand on their own?

Am not afraid of Nigeria dieing because nigeria will not die.

Am just tired of all the tribal hate and sentiments.

Why don't we look for a way to make the east greater than it already is instead of us jumping from pillar to post screaming biafra?

The nation called zoo is better off dead..

U see? It's people like u and that kalu of a guy that are giving we igbos bad name.

How can u call ur country a zoo?

Nigeria was meant to be great.
That was the dreams of our forefathers

But sadly the Nigeria we have today is anything but the dreams of our forefathers. This is not the Nigeria our fathers had in mind when the lay down their lives for the Good and unity our this nation. When our fathers pressured the colonial masters for independence the plans they have for this country was of unity and greatness. Sadly 55 years later we are still struggling to be united talk more of being great. How can we be great when u are not united?.

Those of us born in the late 20th century will agree and understand with me when a say as a child in those days we belong to nobody but we belong to everybody. We were not trained by our parents alone, the whole community trained us. (In some cases more than our parents) it doesn't matter your tribe or religion if u misbehave any elderly person around there have the right and moral responsibility to correct you and even discipline you. And our parents will thank them. But today the case is very much different.

In my growing up days in jos. I spent more time in the houses of my hausa Muslim friends. We eat, play and at times spend the night at each others house and our parents saw nothing wrong in it.. nobody gives a them if u are hausa, yoruba or igbo or that your religion is different from theirs. But sadly the case is different today.

How did we as a nation come to be in this pathetic state?

When and why did we allowed tribalism and religion sentiments clouds our judgement as a people and nation?

The level of tribal hate and religious fanaticism I see in this forum alone is enough to give a man of 25 years high level stroke. It bleeds my heart when I see the level of tribal and religious hate displayed on this forum alone by our supposed leaders of tomorrow .

Even with the high level of intermarriages and Co existence between the igbos and Yorubas over the years, the level of hate and miss trust between this two tribes is a course of concern to any well meaning person.

Instead of us blaming each other for the problems we face as a nation is it not better we forgo our prides and come together. Put our houses in order and look for how to make this nation great again.

Are you not tired of the blame Games?

Are you not tired of judging people base on their tribe or religion rather than their character and personality?

Are you not tired of calling an entire tribe of more than 35 millions people drug dealers and 419 simply because 200 out of 35 millions of them are into illegal activities?

Are u not tired of condemning an entire tribe and religion. Calling them blood suckers simply because a very few of them are fanatics ?

Are you not tired of calling an entire tribe cowards simply because they are highly respectful and accommodating to all that comes their way?

Are u not tired of being use and dump by our politicians, traditional rulers and religious leaders to promote hate and violence just for their selfish interest ?

Are you not tired of the high level of tribal hate and religious fanaticism in this great nation of ours? Are u not tired?

Are u not tired of hating your fellow human simply because he/she is from another tribe or religion? And not because that particular person have offended u in anyway. Are u not tired.

As for me am tired. Even my unborn children are tired.

I so much long for the day I can visit my hausa brothers in the northern part of my country . Sleep in their houses, eat their food without being afraid of anything.

I look forward for the day my yoruba brothers will see the beauty in me as an igbo man and not judge me base on the sins of my brothers

I look forward to the day when the Respect and kindness shown to me by my brothers from the west will not be missinterpreted as a weakness .

Please let us lean to love and respect each other inrespective of their tribe or religion.
We owe it to ourselves but most importantly we owe it to our children and the future of this great nation.

God Bless Nigeria

God Bless our president and elected officials.

God Bless the youths

God Bless our Elders.

May the sacrifice made by our fathers for the Good and Unity of this Nation be not in vain

And may the souls of All our forgotten heros rest in peace. Amen.

Bros na MTN. I receive like 15 useless sms from them in a day.

I also use Glo the only time I received massages from them is to inform me that my data will soon expire.

My brother
Our major problem in this country is tribalism. Our elders are no even helping the matter.

Back in the days in the 80s and 90s nobody give a dame about your tribe or religion. But these? The kind of post I see on nairaland alone make me cry for my beloved country

I am more a wailer Than a masturbater I have been waiting since 2001.fro obj to gej and now PMB

But if PMB means every of his word and back it up with action then he will win my love add to the respect I already have for him..

Mrs woman, pls don't find it hard to blv. He is saying the truth. it once happened to me in secondary school. Fell in love with this pretty girl and realised I didn't need a day after she accepted. Even after all the hard to get.

But my man, U have to have respect for them if not u will be sorry for yourself. Stop everything sex, don't talk to any girl until a year pass. While waiting, UAE that opportunity to create an imaginary girl with all the qualities u need. U will love your nxt girlfriend when u ar ready for one.
this helped me, and I pray it helps u too.

Thanks a lot man.
I will give it a try.

Jollyjoy:
you already sound boastful:|

Do u have any advice to give ?
The issue is not if am boastful or beautiful but rather my inability to fall in love. And my lack of interest in a long term relationship

[color=#000099][/color]

Jollyjoy:
Op your explanations are somehow contradicting considering who an introvert really is,btw dnt you think your writeup is more of admiration than seeking for advice













Why am i even finding this hard to believeafter chasing a lady you immediately loose interest,woaw....








op but there is always a story to every man's situation,what prompted the loosing of interest in ladies,any epic encounter with one

Yes I am an introvert.

And no am honestly not admiring myself. I just stated those things so that people will not am broke of have inferiority issues.

If I know why I lose interest in them immediately the agree to date me, I won't be asking for advice..

[color=#006600][/color]

Jollyjoy:
you already sound boastful:|

Hmm
Ok.

[color=#000099][/color]

PunkyVeer:
Lah di dah. I'm not believing any of this until I see the alleged "beauty"

Ok ugly.
Are u happy.

Ps: in other not to sound boastful I can authoritatively say am not bad looking.

My name is achilies.
In a world and time where fame is the alter at which we worship, I do not know why you should care for who I am or that I even exist.

After all I am not a celebrity.
I am not related to any celebrity. I have never been abused by any celebrity neither have I donated my kidney for transplantation into any celebrity furthermore I have no desire to be a celebrity..

Life has been fair to me in more ways than I care to mention.

But I lack perhaps the most important thing in life. Which is Love and the ability to fall in love.

I am still Gentle I am An intovert and unpredictable by nature, but am also ambitious, confidence.
I have this mentality that I can get anything I want.
This traits have helped me to overcome many obstacles and take many Risks than I care to remember but It has also made me emotionally detached to people around me especially the women..

You see I can get any woman I want if I so chooses, no matter how hard they prove to be, I always win them over. But winning them over is not the issue. The issue here is I immediately lose interest the moment the supposed Lady agreed to my to be my woman
It doesn't matter how long it took me to win her over. The moment she agreed to be my woman, I immediately and automatically lose interest in that particular lady and starts looking for the next woman to approach.

In my younger days I used to see it as fun and adventurous ( I have never dated anyone more than 2 months) but now? It is a source of concern to me. The more I try to "fall in love", the more it becomes obvious to me that I am incapable of such emotion. At this rate I might still be single in 20 years from now.

How do I feel and stay in love?

Please Nairalanders guys I need your advice.
Emusmith wristbangle and Co please help a brother out.

l plead with you in the name of the Lord to jettison your idea it is inspiration from hell. l used to love football until one day the Lord showed me how deep He detests football in the church or church getting involved. In addition He frown at TV stations own by churches from showing it. He said worldly news casting in these stations also infuriate Him. Please always ask Holy Spirit before you introduce anything to the church.

Shalom.

Yeye dey smell.
God no tell u say Internet na inspiration from the devil and all those using it will go to hell?

Him also forget to tell u that using things like phone, television, computer, body cream, Internet and money na sin?

Stop misinterpreting the bible

wunderkiind:
Not every graduate is actually educated in the real sense...

And a high school cert holder might be qualified enough to be referred to as a very educated fellow, it all depends on the way you look at it...

Nowadays that it is very possible to get degrees without even being in a classroom, I.e online, the world is Changing but people don't wanna change with it.

The truth is, you may decide to go to a tertiary institution for 4 or more years after which you get a certificate, and someone else on the other hand, studies the same thing as you, all the books, theory, practicals, etc and even more for the same number of years as you, outside the four walls of a classroom, only doesn't get a certificate, would you then say you are more educated than such a fellow? Obviously not. It wouldn'f be right at all to say such. Not everyone without a 'degree' is uneducated, and vice versa!

So, to answer the question at hand, you have to first of all understand that education in itself is an unending process, i.e a continium, so anyone without the ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn can not be truly educated.
Therefore, when one has acquired the fundamental learning skills, a good appetite for true knowledge, information and, understanding, the ability to inspire and impart information to help others effectively, and to use one's education to improve oneself and others, then at this point it can then be rightly said that one is educated.

Guy u get sense.
For this post alone may u leave longer and more prosperous than ur ancestors.

This is what I keep telling people for the fact that a person did attend university does not make that person an illiterate

Eze nkam kam bu,(I am my own king) that's the idea of every Igbo man! So nobody dear "rule" them.. If you noticed most of the people running politics in S/east are not that wealthy, and they depend on the wealthy men that are not politicians for funds..

If u try to Godfatherism any igbo man he will just put u inside 40feet container and sale u off to Sudan as bush meat.

[color=#000099][/color]

BuddhaPalm:
Bro, I believe the BB only went after petty criminals. And not sure they neared any Godfather.

They did.
But everyone was just label criminal.

Can u name just one and I mean one person you think is a godfather in SE

[color=#006600][/color]

ChappyChase:
It will soon become the trend... But I doubt if the south east will join in this trend. Reasons being that, most S/easteners are self made and don't rely on the government for anything, they hardly even participate in electing the government! So these makes the leaders over there to do as they please and yet no one questions them, not because the electorate are scared of the government, but because they(electorate) don't give a damn! And that's very very wrong!!

You are right and wrong at the same time.
In as much as 90% of easteners don't really give a dame about politics I think it will be a dead wish for anybody to try Godfatherism in the south east.

The likes of Andy uba and Ifanyi Uba and the rest of them were are they now?.

And don't forget that back in the days bakassi boys was used to wipe out 98% of the Godfathers is igbo land..

Another thing is that a typical igbo man is proud and arrogant and see himself as lord over his affairs and no man can control him.

Yes there are bad politicians in the east. But Godfatherism? Them never born the person.

In one topic.
Oyo people beat one police man

In another topic.
Amu robber shattered one policeman Amu.

In this topic
Police man kill person because of ram abi na cultisim ?

Chaii.
That robber is truly an amu robber.
So for all the places him for shot the man na for him amu?. What I pity.

Amu robber shot person for him amu.

Anyway R.i.p to the Amu that was shot by the robber.

Op.
From the screen shots I can conclude that he will not refund u the money for the shoe and if u insist he pay u back, he will break up with u.

If u don't buy the shoe, he will still break up with u.

From every indication he is just using you to get what he wants. And the future of your relationship depend on that shoe. Is that really the kind of relationship u want?
