wow, awesome... you are right and have a strong point
A very compeling piece of idea about Nigerian men... sadly its true but wholistically its myopic.


I am not here to make a CASE for men... i acknowledge your expressed thoughts as reality but as INCOMPLETE.

SEE, MEN ARE NOT LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY... We are only LOVED BY MERIT, RAISED AS HUNTERS TO COMPETE AND PROVIDE else we are not competent.

THE THINGS YOU MENTION WE LACK ARE ACTUALLY NOT LACKING BUT SURPRESSED BY THE HARSH REALITIES OF LIFE WE HAVE LIVED THROUGH....


Let me explain... EVEN on the case of wooing or getting a LADY for sex or marriage... LADIES GENERALLY FEEL SAFER WITH A RICH DUDE, THAN A CARING, EMPATHETIC S.O.B. Whyyy because the COUNTRY IS HARD.... and Ladies think of the FUTURE ALOT.
So after being drilled by our parents to always COME FIRST IN CLASS, and being punished for not coming first or not outdoing others.... we now enter a tetiary institution where only the BEST GRADUANDS are assured of jobs or connections... so we have to compete, hustle for money and do everything possible to be among those who thrive or survive.. AFTER YEARS OF LIVING AS A SURVIVOR.... we now marry, with HOOOOOGEE responsibilities, wife and kids... most likely WIFE HAS NOTHING DOING OR EARNS LITTLE YET FEELS ENTITLED TO BE TREATED LIKE A QUEEN.... Then we should let down our GUARD and still be as caring, as emotionally sensitive, as all that you women want us to be??
C'mon sis... YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL.

Marry unambitious men from other countries who are not living in the same terrible conditions we have had in NIGERIA... they have emotions to spare, because THEIR FINANCIAL SYSTEM WORKS and is DEPENDABLE... not here. So you can't come here and GENERALIZE, when majority of your GENDER.... WILL CHOOSE SIX CARS OVER SIX PACKS. Pls... have some balance.

Little wonder why MEN are no longer interested in MARRIAGE... because it has become like an orphanage, so baby mama is now what many opt for, so as to retain their freedom. Ladies wanting EVERYTHING yet offering so little JUST BECAUSE THEY EXIST, is the highest form of lowkey witchcraft ever.

ALL MEN ARE NOT THE SAME, ALL WOMEN ARE NOT THE SAME..... MARRIAGE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE..... BUT MONEY IS IMPORTANT TO ALL.

God bless you sir.

I believe you've said it all.

RepoMan007:
@uploaded picture, Putin who invaded Ukraine to denazify people and protect Rus ethnic people has been silent on calls for killing of Jews in parts of Russia. How about that?

Look back in history and tell me that Adolf Hitler doesn't know a thing or two about the Jews that the rest of the world knows little to nothing about.

He wanted to wipe them off for a reason and that reason is playing out in our very own before.

For you to really understand the conflict between Palestine and Israel, you have to go check their history. The newfound love between Europeans and Americans for the Jewish state is not organic. The US is using Israel to checkmate the middle east, while the Europeans are using their support to payback for their wrongdoings to the Jews and also keep them far away from their own territory.

While the Jews are being killed and abused in Europe, the Arab Palestinians received them with open hands and sold lands to them before they turned monsters. Today, the fate of Palestine is in Israel's hand...they can decide to wipe them off the surface of the earth and the best we can do is argue among ourselves. Hilter had their fate in his hands but God's plan prevailed, same way God's plan will prevail for the innocent people that are being killed daily.

LadyG05:
You must be a wicked man to think that 15k for 2 kids is sufficient a month. Even if you stock the house with foodstuffs, there is no where 50k will be sufficient.


You expect this woman to feed each child with #250 daily ( morning, afternoon and night)

You said one of the children is not yours so her mom should fend for her.


If you continue in this wickedness, Go.d will send help to them but your end will be miserable.

Haba... E never reach the level of that but in ur last sentence... In all of these, nobody has bothered to know how much he earns and what percentage of his earnings would go into footing all those bills and if there's anything left for himself to survive on.

Men's world is nothing but a mirage. Everyone hull blame at him without knowing how he make ends meet. Crazy world we live in.

Btw... What's the woman's contribution to their children's upkeep? Or isn't she supposed to contribute a fraction of the upkeep? He wants to take care of rent, house bills and school fees, and still manage to drop 15k. Yes, it's nowhere near average for a child's weekly upkeep but cut the guy some slags and let's know how much madam would contribute in all of this. Remember, house rent, bills, and school fees are off the plate. Wetin madam wan contribute

The speed at which The HOLY BIBLE is being fulfilled before our very eyes is Amazing and Fearful


Zechariah 12: 1-3


Ladies and Gentlemen right before us, We see this scripture fulfilled live.

Right before our eyes we see the Prophecy of prophet Ezekiel on the GogMagog war fixing to be Fufilled.

We see the Major actors of the GogMagog collation against ISRAEL speaking, threatening and coming together against GOD'S Land.

It so clear that GOD ALMIGHTY has put HIS Hook on the Jaw Russia, Iran and Turkey ( Putin, Erodogan and Ayotollah) and is about to drag them alongside their collation of nations to Israel.

ISRAEL will not be the one to fight the collation as they will be overwhelmed. GOD ALMIGHTY Himself will cripple and destroy putin and all his gang. Read your bible. It is there.

[/b]

It is so amazing to be alive to see Bible being fulfilled.

Some years ago, I said here that Putin ( Russia) will lead a collation of nations against and his fall will be in Israel. Some little minds here were busy insulting themselves. Some said it is not possible as Israel and Russia are friends.
I am not the one who said It. The word of GOD says so. And whatever the Word of says MUST happen no matter how things look.

Listen folks! If you are privileged to be alive to see scriptures bring Fufilled and you do not Believe the Word of GOD, the Holy Bible, you Have yourself to blame.

If you do not Believe JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY way to Heaven, just know you took yourself to Hell Fire! There is no excuse of any kind.

Events Happening live before us shows that
[b]The Bible is the Word of GOD.
The Bible is true. The Bible is Real.
JESUS CHRIST is true
JESUS CHRIST is real
JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY way to be Saved from Eternity in Hell.

There is no more time..
JESUS CHRIST is Coming Quickly.

If only you know that the Jews don't believe this version of bible you're quoting. They're not Christians. They believe in Torah and their religion is Judaism.

However when it comes to justifying their occupation of a land that isn't theirs, they fall back to using the bible. Remember, it was written by one of them to fool the rest of the world into believing they're superior. Same bible was used to keep slaves at bay so that they won't revolt against their masters.

Same bible they don't believe in is what you're using to justify a wrongdoing that was perfectly orchestrated at the Balfour declaration.

Mind you, where you know as Israel today might have been in Uganda or Argentina. Only God knows what lies would have been told to justify any of those 2 locations if they had picked there.

matrixx:
We should concentrate on making sure the Ibo man doesn't get to power. Whether he will fix things or not.. Make una mumu continue...

What makes you think an Igbo man will do better? Bring your best governor since 1999 and compare him to Kwankwaso, Ganduje (dollar man) and Zulum. Let's leave Lagos state out of it. Which of your governors ever outperformed any of those on that list?

When you want to promise good governance, let's look back in history, and then show us a well-governed state from your region since democracy started.

Let's leave out all these rubbish tribalism and victimization syndrome. It is a democratic process to become the president (at least, based on what's on paper), if your kinsmen continue with this mentality of everybody is against the Igbo tribe from being a president, I wonder how someone from your side will ever be because it's supposed to be a game of numbers and interest.

Leave all the hype around PO and ask yourself real hash questions.... how many foreign investment did he brought to his state when he was governor?

What legacy of his is still in place in the state today?

No lies ...

Zooposki:
Ordinary $5000. Unbelievable. The Yoruba man and Northerner are the real corrupt element here. Leave that Delta woman alone.

The real reason this country is where it is is because of this kind of idea. 1kobo kickback is a bribe and should be frown at the same way we frown at 1million dollar bribe.

What's bad is bad and there's no name that befits it than corruption!

thatigboman:
narrative twisters. Performing your pay per post function. Do u even know that "yoruba" was coined by fulanis? U used to have egba of egba, ijebu if ijebu etc until fulani combined all of u those that have not killed yet west of the Atlantic ocean and named you people "yo-ro-ba" thst turned to the modern day yoruba. In 19th century when dahomey amazons (women) were murdering your late grandparents like chickens, you known as oyo then (and they decimated you to pieces let no bone remain and you ran and hid yourselves and families and none the area abeokuta today (meaning people hiding under a rock

I guess you know that while my ancestors were busy fighting to hold their own, yours were being enslaved by the present day South-south region. Go read your history books.

Dahomey wars like every other inter-tribal wars were lost and won at different times but while my own forefathers were defending their lands, yours were being traded off like baboons among the Ogogoro drinking sapele warriors.

Yoruba is one tribe you wish to be but nature already destined you for where you came from.

I don't like doing this tribal thing but you deserve to be served your own coin. Grow up son!

NSK4U:
You continue begging them to stay in your region and one Nigeria, why? ......are you telling yourself the truth?

Just for laughs 😂😄😂.... but na you go still use your money buy Ifesinachi or GIG bus ticket to return to Lagos after you celebrate Christmas finish.... no be them beg you to return naw.

thatigboman:
see mad talk. Lagos is no man's land, a British colony. Ogun IGR is fake, just happens due to proximity to Lagos. Ondo is not a SW state, it's more a South South state more populated by ijaws and ijaw oil. The only true SW states are osun and ekiti - calculate the IGR

Do you even know that "ijaw" as a word has a meaning in Yoruba language?

Built2last:
It's appalling when people in Lagos glory in things not their making.

I have said it before that if you take Yahaya Bello, the most useless governor in Nigeria and make him Lagos state governor. He will be best performing.

Lagos houses all the banks head quarters in Nigeria. Home to head office of all oil companies, home to major importations. home to the busiest markets in Nigeria.

Move half of what Lagos enjoys to kogi and see whether Kogi will not compete.

People should learn to dimension things clearly.

statsense is posting this now to make Southwest the best economic region. yet when you say, go back to regionalism. Unity beggars association will start salivating

Lemme remind you that it is not a statutory requirements for banks, oil companies and other economy-driving businesses to base their HQ in Lagos.

You're free to establish your own bank and situate it's head office in Awka or Minna. Nobody will hold you for it. Businesses make decisions based on economic index and statistics.

Lagos is the trade center of Nigeria for so many reasons, and it has been so since precolonial era. Costal cities around the world enjoys this same advantage over other hinterland cities, so Lagos' case is no exception.

With a ready market of over 20 million residents, Lagos remains the state to beat when it comes to making money in the fastes way possible. All you need to become a millionaire here is to think of a business that's marketable to at least a thousand people, add a margin of 1k profit on your overhead cost and viola, you're a million Naira richer. 1k people is just 0.00005% of the total population.

If you're deliberate about making it big and quick, I don't think there's anywhere else you wanna be in Nigeria other than Lagos. It's the same reason every major businessman would want to establish their presence here. No be juju. Plus, there's stability and infrastructure here compared to other states.

I rest my case!

My brother you can spit out all the saliva in your mouth, it doesn't change the truth.



White race have proven to be a superior race with proven facts and track records that the whole world can see and feel.


Blacks are only good in activism and talk talk with no action.


Tell me who invented the internet?
Who invented the mobile phone or computer you are using to bask in your ignorance?
Who invented the aeroplane?
Who invented automobile?
Who invented ship, boats?
who invented Radio, TV?
Who invented formal education?
Who invented gun, bombs?
Who invented industrial machines and industrial revolution?
Who invented fan, airconditioners, electric iron?


Who invented medical equipments and medications saving your lives?


I am tired of typing, enjoy your foolery

Formal education and computing didn't start with the "whites" check your facts right.

I'm not saying the dark skin invented it though... But it didn't start with the westerners.

columbus007:
and you think she doesn't know what's called hair dye?

Same way granmamas knows what hair dye is but chose not to use it.

I repeat, she's a grandma

Following but your pictures are not uploaded yet. It speaks more than words most times. Upload the pictures. E get why!

Granny without grey hair is different from grandmama

No be new thing
I've fvcked a mother who knew I was also fvcking her daughter

That's why you're a mother-fucker.

Henry22:
Stop sounding like you people give a fvck about humanity before slaughtering people like animals in the name of jihad and crusade for your Allah, and stop supporting hamas just because you both practice same religion try and look at things from a different perspective.

Then I should sound like you who don't give a fvck about human life provided they're Muslims... I should sound like you and support Hamas just like you're supporting Israel, at least, according to your line of thought, I should side them because they're 'supposed' Muslims like me.

Like I told you earlier on, I know how you see it now and I'm not surprised one bit. I already know what you're about.

In my own lens, and by the way and manner I practice my own religion, every human life is sacred and should not be taken in the way and manner Hamas and Israel are going about it. I condemn both of them because they're both commiting war crimes and crime against humanity. One is a terrorist organization and the other a terrorist nation.

Peace 🕊️

Henry22:
It turned religious the moment hamas started shouting Allah abobaku and isreal in question have come out to tell the world that hamas was responsible for the bombing.

Did you just say Israel has come out to tell the world that it's Hamas that is responsible for the bombing? And you believe that? Just yesterday, you guys were hailing Israel for the job well-done but 24 hours afterwards, you're coming to tell the world that it's not them.

Oh... I can see your thoughts clearer now. My guess is that when Hamas entered into Israel and started killing, they asked their victims if they're Muslims, Christians or Jews before bombing or killing them.

And Israel too made sure their missiles and bombs get to ask for the faith of their victims before striking them to death.

Continue with your line of thought. I pray that God will open your eyes and mind to think about humanity first before anything else.

Henry22:
No actually it's shameless Muslims who could not withstand the fire the brought upon themselves

See how I smile to your ignorance. Present day Israel has over 18% Muslim population and lesser percentage of christian. Fact check it. The internet is your friend.

Meanwhile, Palestine has a blend of Muslims and Christians alike. Before the name of the bombed hospital was revealed, I saw how uninformed Nairalanders were hailing Israel for bombing Hamas in Palestine and wonder if most of you guys understand what humanity means. The said hospital is a Catholic hospital with majority of its patients being Christians but it's the Muslim world that is crying out for the victims the most... funny world indeed. But at the end, it is still Hamas' fault. At least that's what you're meant to believe.

You're born into a Christian family and that's how most of you get to choose your faith. If you were born into a Muslim family, you probably would be rooting for Islam today. And the funny thing is that you never know what tomorrow holds. Those people that were killed might be planning on converting to Christianity or vice versa.

It's not a religious war. This is pure ethnic cleansing for the sole purpose of grabbing land.

Minajesty18:
Good Afternoon. Please I'm in need of high value above 8% Cass and Lithium urgently in much quantity

I can get you Lithium.... but what's your rate and how many tones are we looking at?

Zonefree:
There's no single Muslim on earth supporting Israel but Muslims want Christians to support HAMAS and Palestine, forgetting that HAMAS drew the first blood.

I love and cherish how Israel practice their religion. Fire for Fire. Blood for Blood. They got no time to leave everything for God to handle.

Nigerian Christians should learn one or two from them. An eye for an eye makes the world a better place.


Shalom.

Which Muslim don ask you to support Hamas?

Support anything you like, my own be say, make Nigeria better for we all.

May peace reign in the land and beyond.... Amen

If Alex Otti succeeds in opening a sea port in Abia state

Lol house rent, land prices, economy, IGR, I mean everything that makes Lagos state is gone

I pray you guys succeed... at least, let sanity return to Lagos.

BloomingDale:
Those names don’t sound Fulani.

What do you know about Hausa/Fulani names?

You think bandits too don't have sense. They've learnt to use people from other tribe to transport their armor bcuz they know all eyes are on them.

Julius1995:
Yes, the reason why at least 94% Yoruba Muslims support characters like Tinubu, even when news says they stole. Does religion support stealing, identity theft, that's evolution bro. Its staring right at you in the face. And the Arab worlds have made some modifications to cure practice of their religion has well, that has enhanced tourism especially, few month ago, Saudi relief duties on alcohol. You can read about it online

I've so much resisted commenting on this thread but the bolded above needs to be corrected for the sake of those that believes anything they read here on Nairaland and the internet.

Lemme begin by clarifying the misconception around Saudi Arabia and "their new law on alcohol, women's right to do certain things they weren't allowed to do before and so on..."

Firstly, Saudi Arabia is a country just like anywhere else in the world that chooses to govern their land with Sharia laws, and as times changes, they have the exclusive right to do as they deem fit to their laws, not the Sunnah nor the Quran or islam.

Secondly, just as you amend constitution, they choose to amend some parts of the sharia they practice to accommodate the influx of expatriates that's coming to live and work in their land. They're doing this to change the negative perceptions of the world about Islam.... the whole islamaphobia thing. Same thing happened at the last world cup in Qatar.

Lastly, relaxing some Sharia laws in their land does not change Sharia as defined in the hadiths and the Quran, neither does it change Islam. Islam and the Quran remains the same yesterday, today and will remain the same forever.

In conclusion, pls take out Islam from what Reno has said. Nowhere did he referenced the quran neither is he a Muslim. The words he asked his audience to source for are not related in anyway or form to islam. So I see no reason to bring islam into this conversation at all. If you're not able to trace those words to any pages of your scripture, you shouldn't be using islam nor the quran to validate or buttress your point.

To you is your religion, and to me is mine. I worship not that which you worship neither will you worship that which I worship.

MS247:
This kind of entitlement mentality is very very wrong

If only you know how fast that table/role can turn, you won't be saying this. He's the younger one and yeah, the elder brother doesn't owe him anything for him to feel indebted, but there's a catch in all of this, God made them siblings for a reason and the question is: is he fulfilling that purpose?

It is one thing if the elder brother too isn't capable to feed them both, and the whole story didn't capture that part. He might be younger, squatting and starving today, but might end up the bedrock of their whole lineage tomorrow and by that time, it'll be the elder brother who would be opening Nairaland thread to tell us how he brought his younger brother to Lagos and helped him become a billionaire only for the brother not to help him.

Time will tell sha.... and by that time, you and your kind will still tell the elder brother not to feel entitled.

Poverty induces crime... with the continuous rising cost and dwindling income sources, people will natural tend towards illegal means to meet ends and that's going to be wahala promax for the society.

Be safe out there guys!

Just like some areas in lekki, banana island etc. Will the water trace back it's route someday? Huum

Some not too far years ago, it happened in those areas you mentioned too, and it'll repeat itself again. It's just a matter of time.

Tracing back its route doesn't mean it won't flow away.... it only means, the channel will be filled with water again and then, get dry up again but it'd have caused some damages.

They built their shops in canal and they all knew it that it's just a matter of time, water will trace back it's root.

The most important thing is that you've learnt a thing or two and one thing I observed is that you used full yam (sliced into two) as your seed yam.

I've never planted before but just as someone pointed out here, and based on what I've seen on other threads, they have yam seedlings that are cheaper and easier to source than buying full yam.

I believe the purpose of farming will be defeated if we buy 10 tuber of yam to plant only to harvest same 10 tuber. Fact is that you've learnt and it can only get better from this point onward. Well-done Sir.

All the proceeds from this streaming should go to his 5month old boy.

RIP IMOLE

The exact reason why the lady was shouting and crying with their child in her arms is to draw as much sympathy as possible.

I'm not saying she and her son is not deserving of it ooo but I'm only pointing you to the power of female manipulation working on you already.

How about Mohbad's parents, don't they also deserve to eat the fruit of their labour in their son whose life was cut short? But because neither his Mom nor dad did a crying video of themselves telling the world how they wouldn't have had anything to eat unless their son brings them food and money, nobody gives a fxck about them. That's life my brother.

Essence of my story: Just like his baby mama and son, every other person that depends on him should be pitied and considered when proceeds from his work comes out for sharing. They also deserve a share of it.

I've met and interacted with all 37 states indigenes. Visited all the states too except for 2 state capitals, but I've touched some their remote villages of those 2.

Yoruba people have started dividing the one Nigeria they are always romancing and cuddling

Unfortunately you can't see beyond your nose on this one. This same comnent might pass for other things but not this one.
