ceejayluv:

Nairaland readership is not restricted to Nigerians only.

True. But the content is more targeted at Nigerians resident in Nigeria. You write, targeting the majority of your readers. That's why when you go on places like reddit and see ELI5, or IANAL you go and research them as a non-American. Any non-Nigerian that wants to know the meaning of "Kèké Napep" should go and research it

ceejayluv:

Tricycle is a broader term... The specific name is cycle ricksaw or auto ricksaw.
He's not incorrect.

Communication is about passing AND receiving meaning. To the average Nigerian, that thing is called Kèké Napep. OP should have just stuck with the local.term instead of using bombast or being bombastic

You see person dey post Telegram “blue tick” of Elon Reeve Musk wey dey use Nigerian number and you take them seriously?

GiZcorp:


It can but it will be difficult... I say this because for instance, you can't have two savings accounts in one bank using your BVN, but for Kuda, opay, fairmoney and palmpay you can comfortably have as many accounts as you want provided you have different phone numbers. With this you can actually launder money.. And the level of monitoring of their activities is very poor

This is not true. You can have as many savings accounts as you want

Lol...when you started coding doesn't necessarily corelate with competence. Constant, deliberate practice is what builds competence.

For example, I wrote my first line of code in BASIC over 30 years ago. Today my coding is really bad as I stopped coding in 2013. Not like I was consistently coding before then

Yankee101:
Read my post carefully again and understand it

You said: "Equate population and know why nigeria is close to the bottom".

I am arguing that wealth has nothing to do with population. It has more to do with productivity. Nigeria is at the bottom because we aren't as productive as the others. Not because of our population

Yankee101:
Equate population and know why nigeria is close to the bottom

Population that China has way more than we do. And yet China is on top

segunjack:
can we have different passports for ibo yoruba and hausas so when crime is commited they can say yorua citizen is arrested or ibo or hausa tired of getting lumped together everytime

a possibly easier way could be to allow those that want to go, to go.

lincsnuel:
Most Nigerians are terrible opportunists. They look at a situation, whether good or bad and think about ways to manipulate the situation to their advantage. Where others see a problem, they see an opportunity to exploit. Terrible.

Inherently, being an opportunist isn't a bad thing. The problem arises in the negative exploitation when they could be making loads of legit money from the opportunities by POSITIVELY harnessing them.

Lurdmax10:
But for B1/B2 visa category, no document is checked

Not necessarily true. They do verify statements in your application before the day of the interview

CelestineNelson:
When are they going to start their visa lottery?

We have been ineligible for the DV visa lottery for many years now. Too many Nigerians have japa'd to the US

DevilsEqual:


I really don't understand too

It seems he now wears a wig

Hair transplant

Digmygold:


Multiple ear piercing is indecent. Nose piercing is worse.

What makes multiple ear piercing "indecent"? And why is nose piercing "worse"?

Digmygold:


Ear piercing has been in existence since forever but nose piercing is the norm for oloshos normally

How long is "forever"? Nose piercing has been in documented existence for over 5000 years.

How is this a "fake alert" scam? Is this how businesses run? You release goods without physically confirming by yourself that you have received a credit alert?

Which one is pre-kindergarten. When did they created that one?

Pre-k has been around for a long long time

jahsharon:
If you pierce any part of a baby's body in Europe, you will be jailed, even if it is the ears.

This is factually incorrect. No country in Europe has criminalised ear piercing for female babies. None. I am happy to read any material you point me to that outlaws it

Digmygold:


Putting on nose ring will never make you look decent. Some men will not go anywhere near a woman with nose piercing.

There was a time people said this same thing about women wearing trousers. Today, it's now common place. Change is inevitable

VinnyBaba:


Stop Arguing RUBBISH argument plz.

Ear and Nose are two Different things.

Ear piercing is mostly for Gender differentiation at Birth.
Nose Piercing is associated with Ashawo Girls or Over-exposed girls.

So let's engage without trading insults. Nose piercing has been documented for over 5000 years.

"Culturally, the piercings signified the social status of the individual and their right to access other ceremonies." (Wikipedia).

Less than 30 years ago, it was anathema for a Nigerian lady to wear trousers. They were seen as ashawo. Today even top business execs wear trousers. Culture changes and we have to be adapt to it or die. A nose piercing is an ordinary body adornment not different from other body adornments.

pretydiva:
This is all shades of wrong😪

What makes a nose piercing wrong? And what makes an ear piercing right? How about multiple ear piercings?

CaptainJune:


Her baby is not her sole business. This is abuse of the child. You think you can just do anything you desire to a child and not suffer the consequences? Piercing her ears is okay to keep her from undue suffering when she is of age and has not done so. Besides, it is age long tradition since the beginning of man on earth. What is the reason behind piercing her nose? The nose she uses for breathing.

Where was it stated that ear piercing is an age long tradition since the beginning of man? Did Eve pierce her ear?

Yeancahmie007:

clearly experience talking.

Which is a good thing IMO. Those looking to experiment can live vicariously through tgat person's experience

Impressario, not proficient in packaging shows and events". He's an impressario.

Thought Tompolo was more strategic than this nonsense. Okuama may just be the straw to break his stranglehold

They're in a public place. Such rights don't exist.

Surprised people think you need permission/approval to take pictures in a public space

Minister of power, Mr. Adebutu is a first class product, i'll give him the benefit of doubt. This repair should be the quickest ever we have witnessed in the country.

Is a first class product of what? Because going by his comment about leaving deep freezer on, I worry about what first class he is a product of

Penguin2:

A simple analogy to help break it down to elementary level for you.

After Tinubu was sworn in, who was the first person he went for his jugular? Emefiele!

Tinubu went for Emefiele because he felt his Naira redesign policy was targeted at him to make him lose the election.

All those who secretly worked for Tinubu still have their job - Mahmoud Yakubu of INEC, Yusuf Bichi of DS, etc.

Now, I ask you, do you think if Agho Obaseki had stood with the kingdom and joined hands to fight the British, would the British have rewarded him with leadership?

Again, I sent you a link that you have refused to read and cure your historical deficiency. If you read what is there, you would have seen how he engaged in power tussle with Oba Eweka 11, son of Oba Ovonramwen, who succeeded his father after his death in 1914.

Deal with facts and throwing emotional tantrums and blabbing.

Your own interpretation of reported facts doesn't make your interpretation a reality. Obaseki did not betray the Ọba. If he did, he would have been outcast and banished from Bini Kingdom. If you don't know how Bini traditions work, keep silent. Have a good day.

immortalcrown:
You can be sued for this nonsense.

Did you ask for their permissions before taking and posting their picture?

Lol! You don't need permission to take photos or videos in a public place. And the arrival lounge of an airport is a public place

Penguin2:

You know I don’t want believe I’ve been wasting my intellectual energy on you.

Are you saying Agho Obaseki is not the grandfather/ancestor of Godwin Obaseki?

I've been ignoring your careless use of the word "ancestor". No one refers to a grandparent as an "ancestor". So it's me that has been tolerating your intellectual nonsense. That aside, ease quite ONE reference in your watery Wikipedia source where it says that Agho Obaseki betrayed the Ọba.

Penguin2:

You know I deliberately indulged you when you claimed Wikipedia is not reliable because I was hoping you would provide an alternative source. Because Wikipedia is not as unreliable as you claim but because it’s not agreeing with your position, you are trying to discredit it.

Telling me that who asserts must prove is balderdash because even in a law court, the Defense Counsel must provide contrary evidence to disprove the facts and evidence of the Prosecuting Counsel.

So, until you provide contrary and more compelling source to my Wikipedia source, the Wikipedia article is our only authority on the subject matter and it subsists irrespective of your irrational emotions and claims.

Your Wikipedia article doesn't even assert that "One of Obaseki's ancestors" betrayed the Ọba. Show me ONE SENTENCE where that article asserts that.

Penguin2:

If you are an intellectual like you claim, what are you supposed to do when you don’t agree with an authority?

Dismiss it with the flip of a finger or provide an alternative and contrary authority?

He who asserts is burdened with proof. You have been parroting that Obaseki's "ancestor" betrayed Ọba. And have not been able to provide proof that that silly assertion. Even the Wikipedia article you seem to be relying on, does not state anywhere that Agho Obaseki betrayed Ọba Ovoranmwen. So I will not engage until you can provide verifiable proof that "One of Obaseki's ancestors" betrayed the Ọba

Pimine:

It's sad. I woulda thought she was lying too after saying she graduated with B.Sc in law lol.

People need to understand that if the pastor hadn't spoken up, the next thing you'll hear is Dunamis staged fake testimony without doing their homework. The people of the world will go to any length to ridicule the church.

Dr. Paul Enenche will do the needful and apologize. Though he really wasn't at fault, but apologizing is the Godly thing to do.

Would you say a Nigerian is lying when they refer to noodles as Indomie? Or toothpaste as Maccleans? Or detergent as Omo? Loads and loads of people refer to a University degree as a "B.Sc"
