Very early this morning, this monkey came out of the bush into my house. I spotted it, called two guys to kill it......

God self know, I never chop meat for long and he sent me this....Front page please

You are just about eating a "brother". How does it feel eating one of your relative?

Who is Messi? Okocha was the real deal

Ronaldo does not deserve to be in this picture much less in the centre or front. His is very good, we all know that but he is not a natural trickster on the pitch. He is more of a direct dribbler that use physical strength and speed.

Even Diouf dey claim African best. He is just good and not consistently exceptional. I just laughed seeing his name there. Good he selected himself, and more so he did so when he was drunk.

The day all Nigerian roads are marked and people drive on it like true human beings, then that would be a new Nigeria where everything work and where there is law and order.

It reflect a culture of lack of order. Anytime I visit Nigeria and I am on the road especially few ones with road lane markings, I laugh like crazy because in the eyes of Nija drivers on that road, its like the marking doesn't exist. Like it has no purpose there. Virtually no one keep to a alone. They drive right on it and switch from one side of the road to another with total ignorance. It seem its a common problem in less developed countries. I have individuals from Egypt and India or Pakistan who joked about how drivers in their countries drive on the road.

Very wrong, I know several born dada that cut the dreads and grew fresh hair. Once you cut off the tangled part, fresh hair grows.

I understand the spiritual aspect very very well but why should I say it? It's not my biz.
Besides it's much deeper than u think, it goes deeper than culture, it's almost like a religion.

Let me not scare you, go to bed

See this one educating me on what I was born with. Nothing wrong in what I said. Mine was also cut from young age. Same as my younger brother.

Nwaesogwa:
Very few Igbo children are born with dada but for those who are born with it they say that spirit were braiding the child hair from the womb and before the dada is being cut off, a sacrifice must be made if not the child would die. It has happened before in my community. But I think that those who go the salon to get dada has no spiritual implications and most prophet in the Bible had dread cause they never carried a comb in Their bags and they also isolated them self from the general population.

One of the few comments that make sense. The same apply in Yoruba tradition. In fact Dada is of the deities, and son of Yemoja (goddess of the sea). Nigerians are so clueless on the spirituality level. They use the usual religious indoctrination and brainwashing from Christianity and Islam to demonise. traditional spirituality that has been around for thousands of years. All these elements of nature are attributes of God who use herichichial forces of nature to create and mold the earth and all of creation. So, it is these elements of nature that are also part and parcel of God that some cultures got close to and use to reach out to God.

CAPSLOCKED:
YOU ALREADY CALLED IT A MYTH, RENDERING IT INVALID IN REAL LIFE. BYE.

You are just zero upstairs. Obviously you don't know the definition of mythology. It is said that "my people perish for lack of knowledge". You are suggesting that the entire Yoruba religious traditions or mythology and Greek mythology are to be thrown into the dustbin. I am helping you with the definition.

"Mythology (from the Greek mythos for story-of-the-people, and logos for word or speech, so the spoken story of a people) is the study and interpretation of often sacred tales or fables of a culture known as myths or the collection of such stories which deal with various aspects of the human condition: good and evil; ...Oct 31, 2018"

Godi25:
Dreadlocks from birth are natural gifts from nature and the have spiritual benefits as in my case helps to foresee future happening and also detect things around, but sadly it's now associated with raggae and all sorts of weed stuffs!

Yea, because of the Rastas. Even at that not all Rastas hairs look unclean. Its a personal choice.

CAPSLOCKED:
BY NATURE OF OUR RACE, DADA IS THE NATURAL FORM OF OUR HAIRS IF WE LET IT GROW FROM THE ROOTS WITHOUT COMBING OR TOUCHING IT.

THIS IS WHY YOU SEE MANY MADMEN AND PRISONERS WITH DREADS. IT HAS NOW BECOME FASHION, AS EUROPEANS AND AMERICANS PAY MONEY TO HAVE WHAT WE HAVE NATURALLY. IT'S THE SAME WAY OUR WOMEN PAY MONEY TO HAVE THEIR HAIRS LOOKING LIKE THAT OF EUROPEAN WOMEN.

HOWEVER, I EXPECT US TO ASCRIBE IT TO MARINE SPIRITS AND WITCHES BECAUSE WE'RE STUPĮDLY SUPERSTITIOUS IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.

Many of you are not enlightened and lack knowledge of your culture and traditions. In Yoruba mythology, Dada is the child of Yemoja and elder brother to Sango (god of lightening).

silverr:
Lol, you sound like a pained dada.
Dada hair is synonymous with dirtiness and propagated by unclean/marine spirits.
All mad people left alone have dada. That a normal person chooses to have dada says alot about your mental state and no! I refuse to be cool with seemly normal people who aspire to be like mad people. That's my opinion. Deal with it

Dada only refer to children or individuals who were born with or developed dreadlock naturally. Its not to be used for those who choose to develop dreads artificially by leaving their hair unkempt. For the true Dadas, even when your parents continue to comb your hair, the dread continues to develop. I guess most of you are disconnected from your culture. So this crazy views.

informationNaija:
Any mystery behind dreadlocks(dada), is it a natural gift, superstition or is it spiritual. Let's discuss.

I was born a Dada and so was my younger brother. We both had our deadlocked hairs cut at a very young age after specific rituals were performed. My mother up till now still say the Dada eulogies (praise words) anytime I call her on the phone or when I visit home. She used to cook beans and share to members of the communities as part of the things parents need to do for their Dada child. In fact that was always done up till my university years.

In Yoruba mythology, Dada is one of the many Orisas and was the son of Yemoja (goddess of the sea). One of the reasons why it is believed that Dada children bring abundance.

I really don't believe there are any superstitions to this since it's part and parcel of Yoruba mythology. Nonetheless we are all humans that are here to experience life and may face all of life ups and downs as every other human.

So, what is actually her demon? You mentioned that word twice but never explained it.

Imagine, he said his loyalty is to the president and not Nigeria.

Racoon:
So you know this yet as a minister you couldn't counsel the president against borrowing from them & the forceful invitation of Chinese doctors to Nigeria?

When did Abike Dabiri become a minister in Nigeria? Go talk to your minister of foreign affairs (Enyeama) who was even trying to protect China's reputation in a first interview response.

Zoharariel:
This is what showoff does. It breeds envy and bring you unnecessary problems.

Man will do many things to get himself loved; he will do all things to get himself envied ~ Mark Twain

Envy is a weed that should never be watered.

While on my routine evening walk, I saw him driving one of his Rolls Rolls Phantom (with no number plate) inside Omole Phase 2 about 2weeks ago. Driving up & down (as if strolling with the car).

Never be so foolish as to believe that you're stirring up admiration by flaunting the qualities that raise you above others.

By making others aware of their inferior position, you are only stirring up "Unhappy Admiration" or envy.

And when people envy you, they will work against you insidiously.

It is now that people will want to know his source of income. People who never cared to know how much he suffered in the past.

Why? Simply because he brought it upon himself through his unnecessary showoffs.

People hate those who make them feel their own inferiority ~ Lord Chesterfield

The fool dares the gods envy by flaunting his victories.

For some of us, it is not envy but the influence individuals like this have on youths who want to emulate people like them and would do anything to achieve it including all the evils in the world to be able to flaunt material things as if this is the most important thing in the world.

Exc2000:




If you go about spreading lies, conspiracy theory about W.H.O and Bill Gate vaccines just to trend and sound funky at the detriment of general health of the populace may you never get access to the vaccine, and even if you do may it never benefit your imuinity and body system....AMEN!!

You cant benefit from Polio vaccines, Chicken pox vaccines, Malaria subsidized drugs and still turn around to talk trash about vaccines and sponsors of the research just because you want to justify your pastors 666 claims

Now its no more 5G is corona virus, its vaccine (the only prevention that can make us go back to normal and open our economy back) is 666

PS: If you have any of the scar in the Picture bellow, you had already taken W.H.O vaccination against small pox, tuberculosis or leprosy, and the scar you carry about on your left arm was prolly sponsored by Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation. so if they wanted to turn you to 666 zombie they would had done that a long time ago

.

Keep quiet and don't be a nuisance. We know who are working for. The end is near for you all.

Observer1:
Nigerian government must be crazy for doing that ,if it's true.

Dogonyaro leafs and honey cooked and filtered into bottles that's what Madagascar has in there.

You don't know what you are talking about. Go learn the biological name of Dogonyaro and the name of the plant that Madagascar used to make their extract. See image attached as it has the full biological name of the plant (Artemisia annua). I ordered the plant online some days ago.

passion007:
You know Nigerians love to jump on the bandwagon but before you all get carried away, this herbal drink is not proven to be a cure.

Madagascar has used it on less than 200 people (a near inconsequential figure for anyone familiar with clinical trials) but have exported it to us to do a human trial on us . There is limited safety information at the moment, no information about trials in animals. Our only conviction is because Madagascar has zero deaths therefore covid organics works, an 'evidence' reeling in circumstantiality. Be aware Madagascar had a successful lockdown, injected billions into their economy, but have convinced you it's only the herbal drink that made all the difference.

Madagascar is trialling their drugs on Nigerians. And we are paying to be part of that trial, whereas western medicine on the other hand will pay us to be part of their trials...hmmm. With Madagascar's big tourism industry down in the dumps due to current restrictions on foreign travel, the little nation has become an exporter of pharmaceuticals. Someone is all shades of clever.
If it doesn't work, I hope, at least, its not poisonous.
But well played, Madagascar. Well played!

I hope you are not a Bill Gate stooge. Where did you get information that Nigeria and other African countries are paying for using Madagascar herbal remedy? And what in the world will it cost you to try extracts of a herb that is widely known to be effective against Malaria. So, are you telling me you have never tasted "Agbo" (i.e. herbal extract) before? That plant is even available online and I ordered 100g of the leaves some days ago from my base in the US. And guess where the seller is based? Bulgaria! Other buyers that left review on the sellers page all seem to reside outside Africa; and here is someone who possibly have the plant in his backyard somewhere in Nigeria criticizing this great move to subject the herbal remedy to a clinical trial. And who say 200 is not a significant number to show that the drink has been effective against Covid-19 death in Madagascar? The individual that led the development of the herbal remedy is a doctor that used to work with WHO in Congo. He ran to Madagascar when malaria drug sellers attempted to take his life because he revealed herbal cure for malaria to local inhabitants who then stopped buying malaria drugs. The president of Congo has brought him back to Congo to help fight Covid-19 and he only returned after he got assurance that he will be protected from harm.

TheKingIsHere:
thank you bro.

It is obvious that the guy is a scammer and mybe he thought he could intimidate me to succumb to his dubious way.

On the bolded, you are very right.

Thats what they do so that they can catch as may victims as possible.

Some will even say they dont mind receiving 1k, just to make u think that they are suffering. But in reality, he/she is targeting at least 10 people to pay him/her that 1k, making 10k or more in a swoop.

Until seun gets rid of them and ban them totally, they will never go away, just like the almajiri system in the north that is now a huge problem to them

I remember I send some fund to someone with such post on Nairaland. The guy seem believable because he put his real name which is his account name in the post. Others who posted similar request did not put their account name. Of course, the only way I could send fund to someone is if I have the account name as I reside outside Nigeria. Its just a small amount and whichever way no need to feel bad.

Finally! Someone's head is working in Abuja seat of power. I have longed for this and never thought Nigeria officials will have enough balls to go against WHO advice since some of very top health officials may be under the payroll of Bill Gate. Let us hope they won't use bureaucracy to kill the purpose of the gift from Madagascar.

Oshkosch:
To be honest, I don’t mind being sold as a slave to the United States. We don’t have rule of law in Nigeria.

You really don't deserve to be a human because there is no dignity left in you. How could someone created a human say this.

ghettochild4u:
The reason he said he would stay back there...
I for one can't cope in naija for just electricity sake...
For that reason I cant come back even if na rented house I dey leave for abroad as long as m existing... Free that thing u dey talk..
Na my peace of mind matter..
If am safe n secure here.. Why shd I come back to Nigeria n be hearing up nepa, 1 million boys are coming, police kill innocent, army stab man to death, kidnappers demand ransom, bokoharam invades yola, Okada ban in Lagos, agberofight for bustop chairmanship, tanker catch fire.... Loss of life n properties

An unharmed black guy was shot few weeks ago while jogging along the road by a white father and his son that claim they thought he was a burglar tormenting their neighbourhood. There is risk everywhere. The risk of being attacked or shot dead is higher in the US than in Nigeria.

haryorbarmie83:
Jesus Christ, why would someone willingly coming back to Nigeria from Yankee, I will rather die there.

I hope that you just didn't bring a curse upon yourself. Be careful what you wish. America is not the heaven on earth that it is presented as. Americans are good brand marketers and they have done an excellent job marketing their country.

traihit:
Suffice to say that if you have a tech idea that is not backed by a great moneybag or some foreign companies, it's dead on arrival. Someone said on radio today "we'll develop when our wealthy people stop empowering people with just wheelbarrow and tailoring materials, we'll develop when they start investing in research, development and great ideas". Until then, we'll keep managing the crumbs of our intelligent youths educated by foreign universities.

Exactly. I don't think there are truly African owned startups these days that raised such amount of fund without foreign venture capitalists. From Nigeria to Kenya and Ghana, most if not all are foreign backed. Meaning that at the end of the day most of the wealth created will fly out of Africa to the West.

seborrhic:
I don't understand.
How will they recoup their investment and pay back the loan?
I just want to understand how the hospital e health application will generate money.

It is not a loan. The investors that contributed the money to support the startup company now own part of the company. They and the founders will share the returns. Hopefully the founders will not decide to sell the entire company to these foreign investors at some point in the future. So that the wealth created will remain in Africa. Our so called billionaires don't fund start-ups. Few that do it hand them $1,000 to $5,000, as if that's going to achieve anything. Instead of them to hand good amount of cash to few good ones.

As usual. Nigerian idea but foreign backed. So it's foreign owned. They are just figure heads. Soon the real owners will take it over. I am waiting for the day our youths will stick with their business ideas and build it with patience and inputs of investors of their kind, so that the returns will stay in Africa and not go to the West.

Kwantinu until u discover Mungo park

No, until he discover River Niger.

This is the story of the alleged Covid-19 index case in Benue State who has been in forced quarantine for 43-days and the Benue State government has refused to release her. She has been tested three times and has not been shown the results of any of the test performed. They are even claiming that she has mental problem sending a psychiatrist to see her because she has refused to take any more test since the results of past test hasn't been shown to her. She claim she has not even taken any medication since she was detained. Nigerians should come to her rescue or any human right lawyer, like Femi Falana, out there need to take her case up. This is pure injustice by government officials trying to use Covid-19 to scam the country. Who has ever been in quarantine or isolation for 43-days?

The moment you see a policeman opening vehicle door for a private citizen, then you know how bleeped up the country where such happen is.

Kekereekun123:
Why was she at home na. Abi she no get health insurance ni or what.

A lot of black people infected were refused admission into hospitals or refused to be tested. Its now a proven fact going by the trend. Remember the story of a Nigerian student that died in the US. His sister complained of the same thing.

piagetskinner:
But the Chinese were using their Chinese traditional medicine to treat corona virus patients that y the death rate in China was low..


US de wait for vaccine that’s y the cases there is scarily high. Abeg let Africa do what works for them. I don’t know y the west like meddling in African affairs

Don't believe China number. Go online and research on that. Records say cell phone subscribers in China dropped by 21 million between last December and February 2020. In China, cell phone is a requirement because government require that you have it to confirm your identity for many social needs. So, if a cell phone is closed in China, it only happens if the person pass away.
