₦airaland Forum

Hidentity:
Again, I'll repeat this!

I think that I have observed this for quite a while and I think that it need be said.

I expressed my concern on why Nigerian youths remain leaders of tomorrow even till tomorrow to someone a few years back, and he suggested that I become a member of a few social media outfits. I did- Nairaland is one. He didn't say more, but I have seen more.

E-friends, it is easier to trap the water in an ocean in a glass cup than it is to see one reasonable comment on a page on Nairaland. Is it that hard to just ignore a topic if one has nothing intellectually benefiting or wise to say than insult the feelings of a tribe, religion or sex?

Look at it from here, a lot of unemployed youths are here lamenting and the story continues year in and out. If you were an employer, are you likely to take someone on a forum like this serious to conduct the affairs of your business or firm? These things matter, but it seems we either don't know or we just deny that we don't. There are people of incredible and distinguished personalities here, but with these comments fanning the embers of ethnic war, can youths like us be left with sensitive issues like nation building?

We can't lament that we are being sidelined when we lack the diplomatic tact and mental credential to make a simple remarkable comment. Insult me for this, I don't care- people take to insult when they are short of logic. But it is saddening that these e-children of ethnic war are thought to mirror the rest of us who are not in the bandwagon of victims of social, moral and intellectual decadence.

I expected that Seun or the mods would fashion out a way to halt this madness. The truth is that not paying attention to little details has lead to several wars and disasters. If this trend of singling out an ethnic group as criminals, rapists or ritualists subsists, we all may not be able to tell the story of the consequences. We can choose our actions, but we cannot choose the consequences, why don't you just keep quiet or type something worthwhile?

I am a proud Yoruba and a Christain, but I know that in my formation process, I became human first before becoming a Yoruba or a Christian and as long as the next person is human, I should be fair to him. Why can't we just live and let live? The leaders of tomorrow are just more terrible than the ones of today.

If an Igbo person is caught for doing drugs, it is not because he is Igbo- it is because of the inherent criminal nature in every human which he didn't curb. If one Hausa man is caught for terrorism, it is not because Hausa people are terrorists, it is because of the inhumane part of every human he did not restrict. If a Yoruba man is caught for raping, it does not make Yoruba people rapists, it is because that particular Yoruba man failed to control the animal instinct in him. Committing crime is never an identity of any tribe or ethnic group because speaking English does not make one a Briton.

The future awaits us- we cannot succeed in giving it the best with the way we reason, comment and react here.

Thanks

If to say u be woman I for propose to u right here and right now.

achilies
hope you are not an arsenal fan
for a Chelsea fan it worth it " Chelsea have started"

I be Chelsea o.
But all that run was for nothing

I was sitting in my car on a very long queue from the Mobil petrol station in Maryland. This queue was almost getting to Anthony bus stop (a stretch of almost 3 miles!) It was one of those days when fuel was scarce.

Suddenly, a guy ran past my car with a Jerry can in one hand shouting, "They have started o!" in Yoruba.

I quickly jumped out of my car, opened my booth, got my Jerry can and ran after him. He kept running towards Maryland.
When he got to the petrol station, he shouted again, "Won ti bere ooo!" This in Yoruba means, "They have started o!" He ran past the petrol station and headed towards Sheraton hotel.
Anyone who knows these places I'm mentioning will understand how quite afar they are.
I tried to run faster to catch up and ask the boy what have they started, but the boy ran faster.
I looked back and I saw like 6 people had joined us running with Jerry cans in their palms.
We continue past Sheraton and headed towards Ikeja bus stop.
When we got to Ikeja bus stop, he shouted again, "They have started o!"... and continued his run.
We asked each other what was happening but nobody seemed to know as we ran behind the boy.
Finally, we got to Oshodi and he shouted again, this time, we were like 40 people running behind him, all of us with a Jerry can in one hand.
He shouted again, "They have started ooo!"!!! He continued his run towards Isolo and finally, after getting to Isolo, he stopped and we were all gasping for breath, all of us , men and women, some with pot bellies.
I moved closed to him and asked, "What have they started?"
The boy replied, "Chelsea vs Arsenal, the match has started!"

I fainted.

Ebenezerk2:
How much is even your tithe? Do you even pay?

Even if na #10 naira it's something at least it will buy I sachet of pure water

Sentiments aside the guy make sense wella.

As for me I prefer to donate my money to the motherless and needy than to enrich the life of an already rich pastor all in the name of paying tithe

MzRoyalHighness:
totally right.

So u are in support?

Ok. My elder brother wife requested for #200,000 from him for their monthly upkeep plus their son school fees. He protested that she is treating him like an Atm machine

And she playfully replied him saying :There is no harm in treating husbands as atm machines,
If they treat their wives as washing machine, dish washer, vacuum cleaner, cook, maid, waiter, teacher etc!

This got me thinking
Is she right?

[b]There is a popular saying that to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done. We need ourselves more than ever. There is strenght in our diversity and if properly utilized we can build a stronger Nigeria. The Igbos really need to drop this idea of Biafra because it is dead on arrival. Secession is not the solution to the high poverty rate in the south east neither will it eliminate greedy politicians who have refused to let the SE thrive. The igbos need to look inward and look for ways they can develop their region within the Nigerian context. We the Yorubas are not bothered about breaking away. We worked so hard to develop Lagos and the South west so everyone can thrive and this is why the igbos and other tribes keeps flocking to the SW to tap from the potentials and opportunities Yoruba land has to offer. This is the kind of mentality the Igbos need to develop. South sudan broke away from sudan and still nothing has changed because they remain poor and depend on aids to survive. The igbos need to work together with every section of Nigeria so they can be relevant in the Nigerian system instead of calling we the Yoruba's slaves to Hausa-fulani. The igbos are the real slaves here because they are the ones in bondage and yearning for freedom.The igbos should remember the last civil war and never allow Nnamdi Kanu to lure them into another blood bath. Biafra is a dream that cant be realized. We will support the Hausa-Fulanis to resist any form of secession. We will defend the unity of One Nigeria just like we did in the late 60's. A word is enough for the wise.


SAY NO TO BIAFRA

GOD BLESS OUR UNITED NIGERIA.[/b]

Like seriously you actually believe there's a high level of poverty in the south east?

To much of nollywood is bad for u..

Op I doubt if u are mentally and emotionally capable to be a manager and at the rate you're going you might lose it all.

Attributing work place competition as a Gang up and so on just shows how immature u are. From the little u have said so far u lack what it takes to be a section manager talk more of becoming an overall manager.

Pride is not Good for u.

Op
He is officially the manager at least for now. So give him that respect.
In dew time you will get there. Just continue doing what you're employed to do. And let the board of directors do the promotion and not u promoting ur self..

Your pride will be ur down fall.

Underestimate a desperate boko boys will be a worst mistake from the government.

U know d reason nd uve even stated it in ur post ady.

Pls what are the reasons?

Some hypocritical religious people will not like that..

Since am not married I honestly don't know what I will do.

A very shameful thing.

This just shows the level of unemployment in the country

Aufbauh:
For those who are uninformed, the reversal was necessary because of the adverse effects of the ban on our economy.
Any listening and analytical man will toll the line of PMB.
No matter how you look at the reversal, the welfare of the people should be the Supreme law.

Don't u think he should have thought of that before banning them..

Any reasonable man must first think and analyse things first before taking any action and not the other way round..

After exposing them to intelligence material and training. they just sack them like that without any form of rehabilitation or something similar.

I just hope they will not use the intelligence and trainings they got and cus wahala for the masses

Everyday we hear the death of others.
Someday others will hear of our death..

As long as you're alive today, then u have a 100% guarantee that you will die someday. How,when is what we don't know.

Just pray I be ready when it's my turn.

To those of you celebrating this catastrophe your time will come...

Gone are the days when we humans have love and sympathy for our fellow man.

Be u a christian or a Muslim no man should rejoice over the death of another man...

Some people will just comment without actually reading the post.

Haba.

Op I feel ur pain.

Success has nothing to do with the level of your education. It have a lot to do with u as an individual.

Till this day some people still find it hard that am not a graduate and from a poor background.

When I finished my secondary school I decided to go try business. It was not easy but today at the age of 32, I am a made man. I can boast of more than 20m in my account, 6 different shops, 3 cars ( BMW 7S, Toyota spider and Honda baby boy. 4 plots of land in port Harcourt and a mansion in the village.

Focus, ambition, determination and the willingness to take Risk are most of the things u need to succeed and not your certificate

No beginning is ever smooth, bro.
It's timidity and fear of the unknown that would keep anyone in a job that is gradually sending him to an early grave.
Nobody makes it by not taking a certain amount of risk. I would rather strike out on a wild venture, than keep struggling in a job that wears me out.
What do you think is the reason why in many industrialized countries, most suicides happen on Monday mornings?

Guy God bless u.
The fear of the unknown is what is holding people from reaching their coals.

I guess it's time to quit my current job because I can really relate to no2 and 5..
