@the highlighted and italicized part of your sentence, how do you know that is what the IG meant? Why are you assuming that is what he meant? Do you judge what is in people's mind or what they say? Go and read about fallacy of ambiguity Mr man and stop forming "I know it all better than the others''. Had it been that he answered ''you know, social media is also a technology available to the...'' I don't think anybody will question him.

Like i said it is well

I think the highlighted aptly describes you. You're the person going all over the place using abusive words on people for countering what the OP said. The problem with people like you is that as a result of your intellectual arrogance, you always slide into dictatorship - dictating to people what to believe and how to understand a situation. You can keep on twisting what the IG said, but English is English and its meaning can never be distorted by some pseudo-intellectuals just because they want to protect an interest. All you wrote here are complete gibberish as ir doesn't have a connection to the subject matter.

It is well my brother you have a right to ur opinion. God bless us all

iamvictorbassey:
I hate to hear Africans blame the whites for enslaving us, being racist in their acts towards us etc.

The question is, how well have we as Africans conducted ourselves in our freedom and independence?

There's almost nothing good, Africans do well.

God bless you for this. We are our own problem

Firefire:
Devil at work. The terrorist organization called APC can do anything to eliminate potential threat.

Did u read the news at all? What has it got to do with APC

tobiasbeecher:
Please, don't give up on my case but rather give up on your life as you cannot understand a simple sentence. No, it is not everybody that is looking for paid employment, some people are into private undertakings. Word of advice: stop preempting people's mind as you don't know what they mean by what they say. This is what you and the OP is trying to do. We cannot read the IG's mind, we judge him from what he says.

From the way you are angry i can see that you are struggling intellectually. I wont argue with you after this. First i dont need to be in ur mind to understand what you are saying or what you mean. One principle i have always lived my life on is never to be sentimental no matter what. Let me tell you the benefit of that because we all learn and you might not know. If you find yourself working with a group of people as a team there is the probability of you not liking a person or two, now if you are not sentimental and biased towards those people you will be able to work with them to achieve success in the task u set out to do because the success of the job or task is what will be your priority.

Secondly you will see things clearer and you will be more productive with yourself. And a whole lots of other benefits. The only thing i see in your comment is your hatred for probably the I.G that is why you didnt understand the simple message the OP passed across. You are the one who needs to work on your life to be more intelligent. Nobody is forcing anything into anybodies mind. Stay blessed

tobiasbeecher:
Your first sentence just revealed to me the kind of man you're - a man not properly brought up! Having said that I will like to ask you to differentiate between these two sentences and tell me which one is more correct and unambiguous. "Social media is a technology available to those that are criminally minded''. Social media is a technology also available to those that are criminally minded. If you cannot differentiate these two sentences, then I will take it that you're not sound enough as a human.

I can see how properly brought up you are due to your lack of intelligence. Back to the matter first and foremost did u correct the person who called the op illiterate or the one that said the op is mad? You cannot go about insulting people anyhow. If you notice all my comments i use the exact word anyone uses to abuse to abuse the person back so if it hurts them then they should know it hurts whoever they said it to. U can never see me be the first to raise insult on an individual i rather make my comment and pass my message across.

Now to your question Social media is a technology available to those that are criminally minded'' this means the I.G is directly pointing to a group of people and making it known that they can use it for their ulterior motives

While assuming the I.G first mentioned about the good and serious people using social media then this comes to play "Social media is a technology also available to those that are criminally minded". meaning the criminally minded people are the third party here. But in the real contest the two phrases are the same and mean the same thing

N.B one is direct and the other is to a third party depending on what preceded the phrase

clemmonce:
if you see no difference then people like you are the reason Nigeria is where it is today.

God bless you. They will never see the difference. An illustration as simple as this with the right phrases is still giving some people problem. Now imagine people like that holding public or political offices the. We are finished as a nation

chiscodedon:
But you didn't just make sense after your long write up... So I can also say 'Police unit is an office made available to those that are criminally minded' without you faulting out that I mean Police unit is for criminally minded persons..? Compare and contrast the two statements

You are equally right because there are criminally minded individuals in some units of the police force especially the sars unit but dont also forget there are good policemen too. The reason for reform is to be able to flush out the criminally minded ones. But the police force is to slow in achieving that and that is where i can fault the I.G

tobiasbeecher:
If you're supporting what the OP said then you're slower than him because in your case you have the privilege of reading other people's contributions but still can't make an informed decision. Go and watch the video again and tell me if what people are saying is not true

I give up on your case when u cant get a simple message. So other people's contribution means they are correct and the Op is wrong? Did u even take time to read what the op explained and how he differentiated those phrases at all? You are the one with the slow brain here. No wonder most Nigerians are not employable with the way they think and process informations.

Please stop being sentimental and always try to read and understand before you talk next time it will help you

aonag:
you are a mad man.. you and the igp you are supporting

You are the Mad one here. Why must u call the Op mad for what? Did he lie?

From this thread https://www.nairaland.com/4629930/igp-ibrahim-idris-social-media

Reacting to this post that has gone viral on the Nigerian cyberspace about a comment made by the inspector general of police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris that he said that social media is for the criminally minded. First thing that came to my mind was how can he say a thing like that when the Nigerian police has several active social media accounts, EFCC, ICPC and all other security agencies have social media account both Facebook and Twitter. This comment generated a lot of controversy online to the point I decided to watch the video myself on YouTube to see how such a comment would spew out of such a high profile individual. Idris was purported to have said this while answering questions from newsmen shortly after attending a function in Abuja on Friday.
The Police boss was asked what the Force is currently doing about restructuring the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) as more Nigerians are calling for the end of police unit.
Responding, Idris who expressed dismay at the question, said:

“You see, you have to be careful about this clamoring.
“Social media is a technology available to those that are criminally minded and we have to be careful on how we respond to this clamoring like you are saying.

“SARS is a unit of the police that I believe should be sustained, what we are doing is to ensure that they are properly trained, and we are providing facilities for them that will make work easy for them. But I have to tell you that they are doing a very wonderful job.”

Now after analyzing this video with my team, we see no where he said social media is FOR THE CRIMINALLY MINDED, rather he said it is a TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO THE CRIMINALLY MINDED which is true. English scholars can easily decipher this because they are not the same thing. What he said is correct just the same way people use churches and other institutions for criminal purposes, same way they use social media. So what the IGP said is very correct. I see no reason for controversy. The funniest thing about this issue is that many people who reacted to this claim never watched the video, they never took time to listen to what the IGP said they just concluded and started bashing him online. Please I know the security situation in the country is not so good and everyone is angry but let’s not heat up the atmosphere any further. I also call on fellow bloggers to be extremely careful with the way we pass our information around because the internet is very powerful. Techcapon.com has decided to clarify this ensure everyone gets the right information. Thank you

Welldone Op well said. I know some individuals that fail to think before they talk will come and abuse the Op now. It is well with our nation

GoldHorse:
I'm not using it again. A friend is enjoying it now. Fuel consumption, AC, Engine, etc perfect!

I used to do one funny thing I will not dare try with some cars. During those hot months when running the house AC with gen is not funny I will enter the car start the engine switch on the AC and sleep off; for over an hour at times. Car stays normal. No over heating or whatever.

Safety? Volvo is one of the safest and rugged cars. It's studded with metals, chassis is strong. Just compare the weight of the door with your average Toyota.

Parts? That's even the funniest part of the myths about parts being expensive. The few parts I changed are just normal-shock absorber and that triangular thing it's attached to (can't remember the name). I travel a lot on bad roads especially that Otukpo Enugu axis and others .....and I don't usually pity the car . I also would not know about the engine parts cos I didn't change or work on any.

My argument is now that if a part cost 1k and I have to change it about twice in a year and one cost 3k and don't change it within 3 years which is better? Don't forget the mechanic's fee and most especially the breakdown disappointments.

My S40 was the only car I used that never broke down or stopped me during a journey and please believe me I am more than worse with car maintenance so no be say I Sabi maintenance o. The only thing I do is greet the car after each journey . I will pat it and respectfully and thankfully say "Esin!! Well done! Lol!

One stupid panel damage my radiator and I usually have over heating (plenty) as a result of that but the volvo will just shut down when the engine is hot. I will park, wait for it to cool (at times .), put water, then off we go again. I never change any top gasket or whatever.

I bought it 2007. Not many in the country then and stopped using it around 2014. It was like letting go of a wonderful babe....

The car dey speed too. And respond to touch sharp sharp. That sound when I rev the engine...hmmm..... it's Ike when you just had a great time in za oza room!

So please, from my own experience o, Volvo is good. Benz is great also.

I really appreciate your time and effort thanks a lot. Infact you just boosted my confidence the more. Am considering S60 as there is no 2015 version of the s40 i hope i enjoy it like you did. God bless Sir

SpaceAngel:
If I were to choose between 2015 Benz and Volvo in Nigeria, I would take the Benz. Sourcing for parts/expertise will be easier for Benz.

Alright thanks i appreciate

GoldHorse:
Try Volvo products or German brands. Most Nigerians buy Toyota and Honda products because of second hand sales value.

I don't. I buy my cars and use them for the present value they can give me not because of what they will give someone else in the future. Imagine using a car for 7 years without one single engine problem. Didn't even change the plugs.... and na tokunbo o.

Boss please i have a few enquirues for you. What model and year of volvo do u drive as i also plan to buy a volvo or benz and am looking at 2015 production and a friend is advising i go for volvo because of safety. I also heard the A.C is cool and it has little problems apart from parts. So i need your recomendation in choosing right

yemiosinbajo:
Shut up! Work on your English first before spewing trash! How is it your business what other people post about themselves on the internet? Since you don't want to accept westernization, you should not be using the smartphone you are using now, so you won't have to see pictures like this. Useless double standards from people like you; you will jump to America if you get the opportunity, yet you start complaining that you have values when people copy what Americans do. How did that bring us here as a nation, where are you as a nation today?

My guy am more forward in life than any member of ur family. All i can deduce from your response is that even if people like u see opportunity to make it you will throw it away easily because u wont even see it as an opportunity. So if u are backward in life then u need to work on ur mindset so u can always see things in the right perspective not the other way round. Its simple if u dont get my message then move on with your life. Why are you so pained with the message? I doubt u are even using a good smart phone because u just proved how worthless u are not getting a simple message.

And mind u it is my business if what they post is not good for the society then i will speak out useless mofo

I

yemiosinbajo:
Which society is more corrupt between yours and the countries where this is accepted. People like you go quickly jump at an american visa if una see opportunity, yet una go dey talk anyhow.

I must sincerely say all i see is that you just want to comment because ur comment does not in anyway make sense or correlate to the message am trying to pass across so if our society is corrupt is it the other countries that caused it or we living in that country. Are we not the ones that accepts anything that comes our way all in the name of westernisation. We have our own culture, values , heritage and co like farming, tourism, even cultural attire and heritage and not until we accept that before we can see progress. And if your sense is not developed enough to understand my message do not jump to comment next time because if it is accepted in other countries does not mean we should accept it in our country too and that is what has brought us here ad a nation. Copy copy no good.

And yes if i see U.S visa i go accept am leave unreasonable people like u.

yhu prefer yhur daughters as pretenders and hypocrites, which is a very common tagline on the average Nigerian.

yhu perfer yhur daughters well behaved before yhu, growing up feeling as if they can not express themselves around yhu and to yhu for fear of condemnation and backlash.

yhu prefer yhur daughters growing up thinking all men are weak minded,immortal and degenerate, after all yhu her father can not stand to see her unclad,cause yhu are a animal, yhu can't resist the urge and yhu will rape her. After all if yhu can't resist what chance do the men out there have?, 0.

yhu prefer yhur daughters become something else when yhu not around or when they're far away from yhu.

by yhur own definition, yhu prefer yhur daughters to soil yhur name behind yhur back and spare yhu,by yhu not knowing.

yhu prefer yhur daughters growing up to believe its a mans world, a man can bear his chest in public, buh when a women does it, the heavens would rise in judgement and a would be deity is forever on the side of the hypocrites.

or

yhu prefer yhur daughters to growing up to a proud woman, who isnt ashamed of her body, forward minded and embrace herself completely

yhu perfer yhur daughters as been able to stand for themselves and challenge social norms, which by they're very definition can be very one side,selfish, narrow minded and limiting.

daughters who are mentally grounded and can restand negatively from ugly minded individuals, that rear up their heads regardless of whether or not yhur daughters are clothed cause negativity, judgement is part of the way of the world,buh so also is love,compassion etc.


choose wisely.

If you dont get the simple message it is up to u. All this long story sef na stress

salford:
If anyone does not like what they see, nothing stops them from unfollowing her. Nigerians would comment rubbish and curse her out, yet would not unfollow her because they secretely enjoy what they are seeing. Unfollowing someone on instagram or twitter is simple as ABC. It takes only one click.

Nigeria with all its moral brigade and religious houses is one of the shyttest country in the world and it keeps getting worse as it recently overtook india as the number one poverty stricken country in the World. How can a country progress with such a large number of hypocrites, ritualist, yahooboys, cultists, liers e.t.c

I agree with u that most nigerians are hypocrite they will still follow her beacause of what they enjoy from it. But my point is just that what is bad is bad and should not be encouraged. Me personally i dont even av an instagram page not to talk of twitter. My only social media is nairaland which i gain a lot from. God bless nairaland God bless Nigeria

chalantmike:
what is indecent about what she just did?, all I saw was a beautiful lady with golden like tan, unleash her creativity in a free spirited way.

when the mind is dirty there is no two ways about its, the output would be dirty, simply put Nigerians have dirty minds, the same video yhu saw is the same I saw, millions wud see and her husband also saw, the difference in perspective is the output of the mind, the husband saw a beautiful soul, his proud to share with the world, the millions would see creativity and well tan skin, Nigerians like yhu would see something immoral cause of what already exist in yhur mind, with or without her video.
in what part of this equation would Nigerians like yhu own up for yhur own mental output and moral decay, cause the term morality is purely subjective. Every human should take responsibility for their mind and actions and stop blaming a third party or blaming the devil which is a very common norm here in Nigeria. trust me it makes no difference to a man whether or not a lady is completely clothed.

I dont even know what to say to u. I just give up on ur case

Shortyy:
You dey mind am

U go quote am. Useless child. I can imagine how useless and indecent u are for supporting this. If my my message hurt u there is nothing i can do about it. Those that will make use of it will surely do my dear shortty wey dey call her papa rapist. I dont know why u are bothered abt it. If its not affecting u

Shortyy:
You're the rapist then. Learn to discipline yourself OK?

Shorty we dont want no indevency in our society people like you are not welcomed it as simple as that

Mindfulness:
You want to control what people post online. Good luck with that. Misplaced priorities.

Kai Nigerians. You think it cant be controlled and it is not your problem right?
Any way when the bigger problems of what happens on social media comes nobody should complain.

Shortyy:
The husband isn't complaining, your daughters should watch Cartoon Network, and get them Nokia touch to avoid being corrupt by social media. Life is all about doing what makes you happy. Don't tell me not to enjoy my life because of your children. Raise your children well and they won't even know that she exists. Bye

Shorty by the time rapists form an orgainisation with full force and start raping ur likes without mercy then you will know there is nothing to be happy with being indescent. Thats all

Mindfulness:
This singer is the least of your problems. As if the Nigerian society has any moral ground to stand on. PULEASE.

To be honest we shouldnt see her as the least of her problem. Because bigger problems start small like the boko haram issue. And it is affecting the whole Nigeria now. We should learn to correct and control what might affect our society at large no matter how small. That is ehy some universitie have dress code

Shortyy:
This headline get as e be
But people should mind their biz please. The husband isn't complaining. And what matters is as long as you're comfortable in whatever you're wearing. You're good to go.. don't let what people say get to you

Hello shorty that show of shame is not welcomed in our society period we wont mind our business because what she displayed openly will have a more negativity on our daughters than positivity. She should go and dance in her husbands bedroom and not come and corrupt our society. So it is our business to condenm her and clean our society of imoral act

Sometimes Nigerians most especially females forget totally that we have culture and wathever they do wether good or bad affects the society in general. I can see someone praising her that she married who understands her. What is there to understand about this naked show of indencency. Honestly its not about her because she can choose to leave her life anyhow she pleases but when the negative impact of what she is doing is considered then she needs to be heavily corrected in the type of society we are.

Parts of the negativity is that ladies who are younger will look up to her and feel wearing cloths that make u naked is normal, things lije this increases crime rate e.g rape because not all men have self control, she might do it ang go away with it with the type of husband she has. But other ladies trying to copy her might get into trouble with their own husbands which might lead to divorce and other young ladies will think it is normal to marry and divorce.

We need people who will impact positively to the society not negatively

As far as am concerned her show of shame is negativity to our society and should be condemed at large.

Shugavee:
Issues like this will make me belive that nairaland is filled with broke people... on instagram no one is supporting this shit.. if u do,,, people will insult you... but here, there is a thread supporting why a woman was slapped over her harmless discussion to eat four eggs.. really To me there is no limit to egg eating.. u eat as much as u want as far u can afford it.. sometimes one sometimes 5.....it’s either poverty that’s causing this rubbish or just plain urge to support men

Shattap your mouth there hungry tin. It is ladies like you that spend lavishly without any input in the relationship or marraige
so because the guy has decided to be wise and prudent in his spending makes him broke? Infact from the story i guess he is a rich guy and maybe that was what gave the girl the mind to carry four eggs without using her brain. If the same guy goes broke now the girl will be the first to leave his life.
Even as rich as davido is he valued a homely girl like chioma that cooks his meal which am sure saves him money no matter how little over ladies like sophia that seems to be lavish from hiw she presents herself on social media.

With your mentality am sure you are very poor and a gold digger too

franchasng:
What people don't understand is this; when a guy is tired of his girlfriend or woman, he uses every mistake against her and ready to call it quits because of flimsy reason.

The guy is tired of the girl. He just used this egg issue as an avenue to quit the relationship he's been wanting to quit

Believe me, she must have been doing plenty things that got the guy tired and seeking for a way out and the egg issue gave him the privilege to flee

You get mouth . Maybe she has made him so frustrated cos if the story is true. Then she is in the category of ladies that can never take correction. And those that have ever dated such ladies can relate to how frustrating and tiring such relationships can be

2buffagain:
You're not getting it.

It would have been better if she ate the eggs.
She decided to throw them away to spite him after he made a request that she use less, as in "how dare you ask me to use less of something?! <pours eggs away>" . That one is not a girlfriend.

It is the ATTITUDE that warranted her that slap.
Remove your mind from the eggs.

May God bless you with more wisdom. Most ladies attitude is the real problem at least we can see it from most celebrities that are divorced but they fail to realise the bad attitude.

Now imagine having a girlfriend in a country like U.S where everything is bill and she is fond of leaving the T.V on even when she is not watching and u correct her, Then she breaks the T.V or a situation where she wants to probably cook and she left the tap running continously and u correct her again on that and she breaks the tap. When fight happens what she will say is that u complain too much and dont love her whereas what you are correcting is her lavish and wasteful attitude. And that is the problem most men are facing in todays world with ladies with bad attitude. So its not about the egg but the attitude itself
