Kobojunkie: Oh, they were all singing those lyrics back then but my question again is why did this supposed relevance suddenly change the moment the boys all started dropping dead like flies, at the hands of their own pals, mind you?
2. Political? You must be dreaming!
Yes political bro. Go read deep about the stories. 2pac was more than just a rapper, he's a revolutionarist, and an activist who fought and spoke about the injustice and inequality perpetrated by the ruling class in the American society back then.
It was never gangster shit that killed him, and biggy had nothing to do with his death but it was government agency like the CIA that killed him. 2pac stepped on toes to be honest, and his radical preaching through his music was gathering momentum so they had to stop him. He was shot several times in the traffic by some hired assassins in a black and tinted highlander, watch the video you'll see how they followed him from the event he went to and he even fought there, so as he was living that's when they followed him and shot him.
I've watched his documentary several times, I know what am telling you.
fadilaMaikiriki: Whenever I take milk, I tend to fart uncontrollably, like non-stop farting. Imagine you being with someone and the person is farting every three or five minutes. Honestly, this can be so annoying for the fartee and embarrassing for the farter.
The farts is the type that make the "ssshhhhhhhhhhh" sound. And sometimes the fart becomes noisy or vibrates.
Please, what can I do to remedy this? What can I do to stop the fart? It happens whenever I take milk. I take pap alot( infact I prefer pap to tea), and I take the pap with milk because I don't use sugar. Please, is there any alternative? Maybe a better milk that I can use for the pap.
Please, is there any one here who has/is experiencing this?
Or is it because of that particular company's product (milk)?
Has anyone here experienced this?
I would really appreciate your inputs, suggestions/opinions.
seunayantokun: Just like you did first time, you didn't mind to use insult on me again. That's fine, but it does show who you are.
Also, your response shows you didn't digest what I wrote. That's why you're still talking about what you picked from pages of your dictionary. That's okay, I too have it in my dictionary.
Note that no good material for public consumption would address civilised peoples as tribes.
I've never seen anything more difficult to break like the bondage of the mind that refuses to know language is dynamic and liberty and development are in the proper understanding and application of it to life matters.
If you see and talk about yourself as a tribesman, that is what you are.
Just do what you believe in and let others be bro.
Undilutedme: Hello nairaland family. I trust you guys are doing fine. I have a little problem and I need a piece of advise on how to handle it.
I have a very wonderful mother. She's caring, sweet, compassionate, name all the good characteristics of a good woman, she's got all but there's this problem I'm still having with her. SHE NEVER APPRECIATES ME, NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY. My mom will never appreciate me for anything I do, even if she does, she does it nonchalantly like it doesn't matter. She compares me with friends at every slight opportunity she gets.
There was something that happened. Momsy travelled sometime around this year and stayed for close to two months and she has a shop that she manages. The shop's generator has been bad for sometime and it's really stressful for her selling with dim lights but she refused repairing it again because according to her, the generator is consuming her money because of too much repairs every time. So I wanted to surprise her, I called a friend that fixes generator to come help me fix it so when she comes she'll see that it has been fixed. My friend came and fixed it. When momsy came back and I told her that I fixed the generator for her, she told me that, she didn't send me to fix generator for her and that she is not going to use it. According to her "I send you make you fix gen?. I say I nor wan use the gen again". I swear I was really hurt.
On another occasion was during the just concluded UTME exam. My friends wrote before me, a friend of mine had 330 so I told her, she was very happy. She was like, I pray you get something like this. Fast forward, 3 days later, I wrote mine and result came out. I scored 314, when she came, just happily told her, instead of being happy, she just hissed and said "You nor fit get reach 330?". My spirit just died immediately. She likes comparing me with my friends.
There are many occasions things have happened but I'll not bore you with unnecessary talks. It's really eating me up emotionally and psychologically. How well can I make my mom appreciate me more?. How can I please her?.
Ps: Please nobody should throw insults at her. I beg you in the name of whoever you serve. Thanks.
Is not everybody that appreciates other people for their good deeds publicly and openly. So I'll advise you keep doing what you're doing whether she appreciates you or not. Just stay focus that's all.
seunayantokun: The developed world don't describe themselves as tribes because they are civilised. And, because they know it's offensive, an insult, to so describe civilised peoples or ethnicities of Africa, they avoid it. Do you know words are used denotatively and connotatively according to societal conventions. So, go beyond what you were taught in secondary school. If I were your lecturer at any level of study in university, and you wrote a paper or an assignment for me describing peoples like the Yoruba, the Igbo, the Efik, the Igala or the Benin as tribes, you would certainly have to rewrite it to avoid failure.
You need to ask yourself some sensible questions b4 drawing conclusion. The civilised/developed countries where the one's who created the English language, and this same people passed this same English language to many African countries during colonialism, and this same civilised people created what we call dictionary for people to get better understanding of the language call English. And I do know for sure that they update this dictionary maybe every year or so, and the last time I checked my dictionary the word tribe and tribalism was there.
So my point is this, if the word tribe or tribalism is offensive and insulting why did the so called civilised people still left it in the dictionary for people to make use of it?
Or is there any tribe in Nigeria or outside Nigeria that has openly shown resentment or anger towards anyone or group of people for referring to them as a tribe or tribalism?
You need to think wisely b4 answering those questions mr lecturer.
izonborn098: Yes... Some parents don't want their children to be above them.. I don see where mama pray so that her first son would die openly..
Only a senseless, evil- blinded, and heartless parents will want their children not to go above them.
I don't have children yet but I've started praying for them to go beyond my boundaries of success . Is the family name and fulfilling of purpose that matters to me.
Klass99: A very useless first son who provided no value whatsoever. Why should such a person inherit or lay claim to any properties, solely on the basis of being a first son?
We have some very messed up traditions that cause more harm than good, which need to be thrown away. Is it not men who created these traditions? Can the same men not undo them, if they really wish to?
Unlike you I mean every offence when I say (not to you specifically) that the useless first son should have stayed gone and never returned or reappeared to claim property.
What is wrong with some children sef? Are your hands broken or is your brain malfunctioning to a point where you cannot build or acquire properties of your own, without looking to grab what your parents had?
The first son is still part of the family and you can't deny him his rightful family inheritance. Just because he left the family 37 years ago and didn't show up doesn't mean he's not part of the family.
The elders has spoken and that's the truth. Although the junior brother did well for the properties and their parents but that doesn't automatically make him the owner of those properties.
Exodus15v11: If your father has documents as proof that he reconstructed them, then they are his. Your obviously-broke Uncle is no different from a thief trying to reap where he didn't sow.
I don't think you know what you're saying.
You're really ignorant of customs and tradition when it comes to family inheritance.
Peter532: Hello all, My dad immediate elder brother who went to south africa in the 90s is back to drag their parents property claiming to be the first son.
This is someone who after he travelled only came back once and never bothered about the affair's of the family.
Their father my grandfather died 2005 he was no where to be found. my grand mother died 2018 still nothing from him.
No contributions whatever even while their parents was still alive.
He cut all sort of communications with them and now he's back to lay claim on the properties.
The family is angry but some of the elders in the extended family are getting on is side claiming he's still the senior he was never disowned but they can't say it out though.
It's obvious he came back with almost nothing and felt laying claims on their parent property is the back up plan
No will was written and some of the old buildings has been reconstructed from the scratch by my father and yet someone is laying claim on it.
I will like to know how this will go because my father is ready to fight this with his last strength and we the children are firmly behind him
Your father's elder brother is still part of the family, so you guys should just give him his own cut. This is family inheritance and he's down with the family, he is not dead or disowned so you guys should avoid unnecessary controversy and give him what rightfully belongs to him.
And tell your father to be logical instead of fighting over this issue. It might not end well with him and you the children.
sukkot: So this topic has to be explored because I know many people personally under this category. Now I don’t know about other countries but let’s focus on the UK for this topic.
I know that unless you are extremely lucky it is going to take you between 10 to 15 years to fully settle in terms of papers and money and career and housing etc. in between that time you are running from pillar to post and the silent prayer is that God please don’t let my mother or father fall sick within this 10 to 15 year timespan or else I am most likely never going to see them again.
Well I have many friends and relatives who this happened to. In that time span that they are still unsettled and looking for paper or money, mama get cancer for naija. They are stuck abroad. Mama eventually die. So they never got to see their mother for over 10 years and will never see her again.
So I guess the question is if you find yourself in a situation like this, being in the UK for over 8 years and papers never correct so you are stuck, then you hear that your mother is dying.
WHAT DO YOU DO? DO YOU ABORT MISSION AND RETURN BACK TO NIGERIA TO BE WITH YOUR DYING MOTHER KNOWING YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO RETURN TO THE UK AGAIN OR DO YOU JUST FASHI MAMA AND LET HER DIE WHILE YOU CoNTINUE YOUR QUEST TO LOOK FOR PAPERS AND POUNDS ? What would you do?
Survival is the issue here, everyone wants to survive.
In the video, a soldier can be seen making call to his colleagues at the checkpoint and the conversation when translated goes as;
Nigerian Soldier (making a call): "Hello Sanusi, Please, for the sake of God, I want you to do something. Can you hear me? I want you to tell everybody on the road that the Fulanis are on their way passing- by. Nobody should say anything for God's sake. Just allow them pass.
"They are about to pass. Nobody should stop them. Let them go through the main road. Nobody should say anything or hinder them. Please for God's sake, allow them to pass through. They are on their way presently. Please inform our men. Inform everyone. Yes."
Only gullible and ignorant people will think our leaders are not the cause of insecurity in our country.
