Born2Breed:
The Nigerian political terrain is made up of hawkish men who makes people believes women are good for two things only.

Whereas majority of them are less intelligent when making political decisions without the input of their wives. Those who neglects their wives wise counselling only come back home with Ghana must go and while away their time in office with sleep.

nne. the strength you used in writing this post you would have used it to join a political party and contested for a position.Nobody is stopping women but women themselves. Oby Ezekwesili, Mama Taraba, Abike Dabiri and co are your mates. They dont have two heads. Stop blaming men for your misfortunes and stand up to be counted.

Liliyann:
I wonder where Somadina her so called Ex is!
Lesson
Never take all these broke boys serious thereby missing the right one!
Love is nothing without money!
No matter how much people talk bad about her, she made the right decision!
Life is to be enjoyed!
Marriage means luxurious life, pampering and care!
An old rich man is far better than a broke young boy that doesn't know where his next meal will come from!!

another poor soul

harkandey:
next time he'll know how to control he's speech

also learn how to control your tenses and grammar

all you have made are your own assumptions with no biblical passage to back it up. we should shed all these dogmas and focus on liberating our soul. Liberating the soul is not about going to heaven. But how many of you understand?

JasonScoolari:
Just watch how this case will be swept under their praying mat.

If this matter is not handled with all seriousness, you'll see massive deployment of my South West, South East and South South brother's to troubled states like Borno, Yobe, Zamfara, and Jigawa.

I was not surprised when I saw Dan Yakubu the Almajiri who was taken off the streets by Hajiya Fatima posted to an Oil rich Bayelsa state.

The scheme is no longer useful and I am strongly in support for it to be scrapped OR better still, everyone should serve in his/her father's compound.

STFU if you dont have anything reasonable to say

greatermeme:
That's why Igbo girls are not trustworthy! I'm Igbo too! Yoruba girls are better!

you are not igbo. if you are you would know that Regina is not igbo

amaniro:
Only to protest on Twitter and then it all ends there just like how SARS is only ending on Twitter.

no mind them. come out to vote or protest and you won't see them again

bishopkay:
We've had the #EndSARS protest, Benue lives matters, save zamfara and many more too numerous to mention protests. Hope it yielded results you can see?

You still dispute the working system?

Nah. my point is that the system is not as flawless as you think

Tellemall:
Ask for my school results, not that I'm obligated to show you.

Not everyone you see on nairaland is your Nigerian. And not everybody behind a keyboard is broke like you all like to imagine to feel better.

I don't know why once you confront a Nigerian they want to tell you that you are inferior. Is everything about inferiority and money? People go to private schools without making noise and feeling superior. You guys need reorientation. Life is not about making noise, acting flashy and dying young the way you guys do in your hamlets.

true talk

Kkshanana90:
I have made it a habit to block any of my Nigerian friends on social media who ask me to return to Nigeria in order to contribute my quota to national development.
Nigeria doesn’t need her citizens in the diaspora to return home. It’s a false call that would make your children to turn against you in the future if they realize that you had the opportunity to escape the ‘zoo’ but chose to return home.

A student in Europe, just by working at least 180hours in a month earns more than three times the amount many graduates working full-time in Nigeria earn, not mentioning the comfort. To say the least, Nigeria is a scam!

is he spending the money in naira? what is his social status in that society? We should stop this comparison abeg. what we should co.pare is standard of living or social status. not coming here to tell me that someone flipping burgers earns more than a bank manager yet that person flipping burgers needs 4 jobs to pay his bills

bishopkay:
Compare with your every week occurrences here. Compare where people get profiled over here because they use good phones and cars and dress nicely. People get killed enmasse without a word from the government!

Over there when such occurrences happen, there's a very quick dicisive government action and statement on it. Here, your president doesn't even get told something of that nature happened because it's already a normal way of life for us.

A rapper got shot to death and within 24 hours, the killer was apprehended. Here, our former COAS got killed and we still don't know jack sh!t about what happened. An AG of the federation Bola Ige was assassinated in his home till date, nothing about his killers. Is this the country you have hopes in?

A working system is what we need A WORKING SYSTEM!

If the system was 'working' you wouldn't have had the LA riots of black lives matter protests. And all these happened before the rise in white supremacy that we are currently witnessing.

AdaNri1:
Donald Trump inherited hundred of thousands of dollars from his father, he has never been poor. Rather, this is a tale of The Real Donald’s thirst for fame and popularity since the days. Plus the movie Home Alone 2 and 2 Weeks Notice.

we are so quick to say Trump inherited money. What if he didn't have the financial acumen to grow the wealth? what about the millions (if not billions) he lost when wall street came crashing down in the late 80s? the man has earned his present status

bishopkay:
Until police catch you when you come out to piss for gutter for night or just taking an evening stroll to go buy food by 8 pm.

When they beat the living hell out of you and frame you up as a kidnapper, or drug dealer or even shoot you and put a gun on you that's when you'd know Nigeria is not worth it.

Funny enough I had such a mindset at a time but now, I can't wait to get out! Except you are Into unmentionables, you can also do what you do here to make that "obscene" Money over there then when you come to Nigeria for holiday, you can hire a police escort!

so in the US or abroad they dont have police that kill innocent citizens?

bishopkay:
You mean if he had used 400k USD 20 years ago to buy a property in the US for example?

You still don't know why sensible people live this country... It's the working system and a HOPE for a better tomorrow... A hope most don't even have again because many people in Nigeria just live life the way it comes to them now LOL

well you cant blame your dad for believing I the country. you can't ompare his time with ours because things were working then

adonainana:
Pls let me repeat what i said on LIB again cos this is the story of my life. My dad built a filling station in 1998. At the time we did a certificate of value and it was valued at 8 million Naira in 1998. 8 Million Naira was 400,000 Dollars ( 1 naira to 20 dollars). I wanted to cry when we done another certificate of value this year, It was valued at 15 million naira ( 40,000 dollars) so before i started crying i asked my dad, why did he believe in the Nigerian dream, assuming he sold the property for 8 million 20 years ago and went and jejely bought a property in the uk or in the US with his 400,000 dollars,

He would have been a millionaire in dollars now cos 400,000 dollars 20 years ago is probably something else now in the SAME CURRENCY.

Nigeria why ??

So even me now i wonder how would i be able to meet up with my dad achievements just right about the same age he done it too i am approaching now.

quick question: what makes you think if you dad went abroad you would be richer than him now?

dokyOloye:
If it comes across as arrogance, then something is wrong with you.Probably an inferiority complex.
Dude is probably a silver spoon who is stating it as it is.

Nigerians psychology has been so twisted. of all the truths the poster was trying to profess, it's his social status she was interested in. I don't know who is worse in this country. Nigerians or the government.

Boss13:
So why did majority of Nigerians decide to return Buhari back to power. A man that threw Nigeria into recession twice. During military and civilian rule. Was the recession and the hunger not sufficient enough to elect someone with better knowledge of the economy to become president.

my brother the matter tire me

Boss13:
Oga have you not been informed that Nigerians like poverty.

hiw can people live poverty and enjoy being tied in chains? Omotola is well to do than most people bashing her. She could relocate or face her business and decide to be mute. Her children don't school here, yet she is speaking for those who cant even pay school fees and one idiot that is not sure if there would be enough change left from his salary after paying transport fare to work is bashing her? I'm trying to understand the workings of this kind of mind.

judging from the comments here, I'm really afraid for this nation. A celeb decides to speak up. The same people she is speaking up for are castigating her that she talks too much. Some are even saying she should not cross paths with them. Others have accused her of seeking attention or hoping for a largesse from government. The same people she is speaking for. I don't know what we want for ourselves in this country. We prefer them showing us boobs and cars rather than adding anything of substance.

Afamed:
Stop sounding silly, the Constitution after the independent as amended has duely taken care of Zik and other nationalists Electoral position. Atiku / Appendage participation in election needs constitutional amendment to accommodate the Plebiscite

you are joker. so those in bakassi are now what? are they Nigerians or cameroonians?

writeprof:
That guy exhibited indiscipline by refusing to take instruction. Jesus ministry of servanthood and service is built on obedience to instructions. A man who finds it difficult to follow instructions meant for the good of himself and others because he wants his comfort can't be following Jesus.

When Jesus cured a man on the sabbath day, did he not go against the law? wouldn't you call that an act of indiscipline? When Jesus proclaimed he was a son of God, a crime (blasphemy) he was later killed for, was it not an act of 'indiscipline '. what exactly is important here? saving the soul or punishing the soul? your lot are like the pharisees. you are just hypocrites

Afamed:
Keep quiet, you fail to apply the interpretation of the Nigerian Constitution in your write ups. The Constitution clearly says anyone born After the Plebiscite which was 51 years ago. Was Atiku born 51 years ago? You can continue to deceive your gullible followers. Schmuck

that means Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello, Awolowo were also not Nigerians right? in this 21st century, we have refused to grow. Nigerians are elected into political positions in US, UK, Canada etc. we are here denying our own because of petty politics. Are we cursed or did God just use the black man as an exemplification of evil in man. In this present age, where people are developing AI we are arguing petty politics. Shame on you all that have eaten this carrot

writeprof:
Jesus showed the need for orderliness in the house of God when he drove away the business men. Christianity is not meant to propagate unruliness but disciplined lifestyle.

The same jesus sat with the woman from Samaria.
The same jesus went to the tax collectors house.
The same Jesus went to a wedding, and even obliged ribturn water into wine.

Guven your example, then all these conmen posing as priests and pastors ought to have been chased out long ago. Jesus never chased away those who came for the message. He chased away those who wanted to profit from it. The priest has no right to chase the boy out of the church

wunmi590:
Your write up is not complete, before we can discuss on issue like this, you should at least tell us the true story, not a one side story.

Though I see no reason why a church warden will ask you to move front and you will bee forming Jacky Chan. What if it your school and you were ask to go front and write your exams, won't you?

I am a Catholic, so sitting in front is my thing, as it makes n to concentrate, may be because I was once an altar server.

Lastly, I don't believe what OP said about telling the perso to go out of he can't sir where he was told to by the church warden.

#StopPedllingLiesAgainstTheCatholicPriest

And tell your friend or who ever he his to change his ways.

anyway I'm assuming the story is true.

you have the right to seat anywhere in church unless it has been designated. in an exam you cant seat anywhere, you are assigned to a seat. let's stop using sentiments. the important thing is that he gets the message not where he seats down.

Toks2008:
I hope you have accepted Christ sha...to avoid super story when you eventually find out after you die that indeed there is Hell.

If I were an Athiest i would simply believe in GOD and accept Jesus at least out of curiosity and considering the fact that I have nothing to lose if I die and realize there is no GOD or hell but will it not be share stupidity for me to be acting Voltron with GOD now and later die just to realize that indeed there is GOD and hell?

I honestly don't know what runs through the minds of Atheists.

so you believe in God because yiu fear hell not because you are convinced about his presence. and you think by this, you would still go to your 'heaven'. You are a joker

people just believe anything they read online

in this 21st century, this is what a moderator decided to move to front page. Are we living in caves? this is what happens when you run it of ideas. Facebook, Instagram and the rest have upgraded. Nairaland is till using the same theme when I joined this forum over 10 years ago. yet as if that is not enough, they now insult our intelligence with useless posts. the next you would post is "how to know when your phone is not charging". Rubbish!!!

psp2pc:
In other words we are still in the dark ages

Isn't that obvious? Religion, superstition, and attributing the cause of events or phenomena to supernatural forces are the hallmarks of the dark ages. Check Auguste Comte's division of society.

RTSC:
We never invite engineers and scientists.

Always the philosophers and sociologists.

philosophy and sociology laid the bedrock for scientific and technological innovation in Europe. it was not science that took Europe out of the dark ages, it was philosophy. If Europe did not leave the dark ages, they would never have experienced the renaissance

chiboy1116:
eto? The same eto? Lol...


Rivaldo
Suarez
Kubala
Suarez of the 1960's



Eto doesn't make the top 10 list .

did rivaldo win UCL with Barcelona?

Ozkar:
Nonsense. I still remember the 6 - 2 thrashing of Madrid in 2008/2009. Messi and Henry scored braces, even Puyol and Pique scored but this dude was just misfiring

Yes you were an important player for Barca, but your best moments were with Ronaldinho.

weren't messi's best moments with xavi and iniesta?
