Nnamdipapa:I don't use AI to generate responses; I mostly write lengthy write-ups, sometimes using abbreviations, which is not appropriate on this platform. So, I use AI to rewrite them in full and apply correct punctuation. If you need the original text of my write-up with abbreviations, I can send it to you. While doing so, I learned something from AI: whenever my reply seems insulting, it changes it to something less offensive. I think AI is not supposed to be more reasonable than humans in its dealings with others. As a result, I started using the format of thanking people for taking their time to write their opinions even when I don't share their views, instead of hurling insults. I know the AI format too, but that’s not the AI—that’s my own style of writing. Check my previous writings. Peace! |
Nnamdipapa:I refrain from engaging in moral debates with individuals who appear to have a desensitized conscience. As for maturity, I suggest further research, as it reveals that maturity is not necessarily linked to age, making it impractical to set a uniform age for marriage. It is important to also note that financial literacy and maturity are distinct concepts, with no direct correlation between the two. Gracias! |
Nnamdipapa:Lol, E shock u abi? Na so I dey write my own Ooo. I no dey too like summaries. ![]() I dey take my time to write, check my previous comments. Shalom! |
Spiff20:Thank you for sharing your opinion, although I do not share the same view. I will not waste my time arguing about morality with someone whose conscience is numb. Regarding maturity, I encourage you to conduct more research—you’ll find that maturity is not tied to age, which is why we cannot set a universal age for marriage. You are confusing experience with maturity and speaking from the perspective of an elder. You will agree me that that today’s children are exposed to many things that we only encountered later in life. Just because you had certain experiences late does not mean that age is what makes someone responsible. Some teenagers today—when it comes to topics like sex, travel, and others—are exposed much earlier, and a 16-year-old girl now may have the experiences that a 30-year-old woman had in the past. Experience in life is different from maturity. Knowledge and experience shape our ability to make sound judgments, and teenagers who are exposed to things earlier in life that you only experienced or learned later can also attain this ability. For example, a person who didn’t learn about fire as a child because their parents protected them may get burned later in life. On the other hand, a child whose parents were less careful and allowed them to touch fire will get burned early and avoid it from then on. Their subsequent caution comes from experience, not necessarily from maturity. This has nothing to do with maturity itself. Humans are evolving, becoming better in some aspects and worse in others. Furthermore, in this generation, we often mistake lust for love when it comes to marriage. We talk about love constantly, and even our musicians sing about it all the time. Many people do not want to marry unless they are “in love,” not realizing that what they feel is actually lust—which fades with time. When this feeling fades, people become frustrated and troubled in their marriages, and begin to question whether true love exists, often leading to divorce. Now, we are pegging the success of marriage to age, mistakenly equating age with maturity. Peace! |
Nnamdipapa:Seventy percent of what you said above is wrong—especially the part about two consenting adults having sex not being a sin. I’m sorry to tell you this, but your conscience must be numb due to your repeated practice of fornication. People who are in the business of killing others feel nothing wrong about it because they are accustomed to it; they justify their actions just as you justify fornication. There is nothing good about sleeping with random people under the guise of “consenting adults.” Some animals behave that way, which makes me wonder if some animals have been reincarnated into humans—looking like humans but still behaving like animals. As for your first comment, you spoke about maturity, yet you equated it with age—when does age equal maturity? Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers married during their teenage years, often before they were mature, and they lived with their wives until death parted them. Likewise, our great-grandmothers did the same. This alone is enough to dismiss your claim about age in marriage. Marriage is not tied to age and timing. When you feel ready, go for it—even if you are in your twenties. But if you don’t feel ready, don’t rush it, even if you are in your thirties or forties. Understanding oneself is not a matter of age; a young person in their teens can know themselves better than a man in his forties who is still struggling. The same applies to financial literacy—it is not about age or maturity. Your opinion is fundamentally wrong—about eighty percent wrong. What really affects marriage nowadays is not the things you enumerated; it is mostly the influence of Western culture, irreligiosity, materialism, and moral decline. In the days when marriage worked well, people followed their culture and traditions—not the lifestyle of Westerners, which makes marriage difficult. We destroyed our culture, traditional religion, and customs and embraced a culture and way of life that kills marriage. Even Westerners in their fifties find it hard to sustain marriage. We are heading that way too, if we don’t abandon their lifestyle and return to ours. Peace! |
Demurray:Nigerians undoubtedly tend to prioritize popularity over competence in leadership selection. Yet, we complain about the nation's stagnation. The truth is, you cannot eat your cake and have it. A significant factor contributing to this problem is the inadequacy of true education. Education is not merely about acquiring knowledge but also involves cultivating skills and sound judgment. Despite being well into the 21st century, we continue to grapple with low literacy rates. Moreover, among those who are literate, only a fraction can genuinely be regarded as educated, as proper education empowers individuals to exercise sound judgment—particularly in electing leaders who are best equipped to propel a nation forward. However, when sound judgment is lacking, citizens often make suboptimal choices at the polls, leading to detrimental consequences. This fundamental issue has hampered the effectiveness of democracy not only in Nigeria but across much of Africa. Peace! |
WesleyPepper:Lol, one of the common criticisms of democracy is that it often rewards popularity over competence, as leaders are typically chosen based on their appeal to the majority rather than solely on their expertise or qualifications. Peace! |

Tinubumustgo:Lol, Southeastern Nigeria currently depends significantly on other parts of the country for economic support and sustenance, yet it continues to seek independence. Despite these ambitions, its internal revenue generation remains very low, making it reliant on resources from elsewhere to function effectively. |
HenryWilliams:Lol, I understand how you feel—you just don’t want to accept reality. The truth is, it would be extremely difficult for Nigeria, even as a unified country, to purchase Dangote’s refinery, which is valued at about $20 billion. Nigeria simply cannot afford to buy Dangote’s refinery, sugar, cement businesses, or BUA’s cement and refinery operations etc, which together could be worth over $30 billion. Consider the fact that Nigeria had to borrow $747 million just to fund a major project like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. How then could it afford such massive acquisitions? If Nigeria were to split into two, it would be even more impossible. And if the South were further divided into two or three countries (such as Oduduwa, Biafra, and perhaps an Ijaw Republic), none of these new nations would have the financial capacity to buy any of these companies. This means that prominent northern businessmen would continue to be major stakeholders. To further challenge your argument, consider this: does the ongoing dispute between Nigerians and South Africa affect South African investments in Nigeria? We rely heavily on MTN, and the Nigerian government cannot simply buy it from them. Even if the government could afford it, MTN and other foreign business owners might refuse to sell. These companies have rights, and the government must negotiate with them to reach agreements that benefit all parties, since they are significant contributors to the economy. As I said earlier, the saying goes, “He who pays the piper calls the tune,” meaning that those who provide the financial resources often have the power to make decisions. Peace! |
muyico:Your point raises an interesting perspective on the potential economic implications of Nigeria's division. In the event of a division, investments made by prominent northern businessmen like Dangote may not necessarily be affected. A relevant example is MTN, a South African company operating in Nigeria. Even if Nigeria were to split, South Africa's investment in the country could remain unchanged. Currently, South Africa reaps significant benefits from MTN's presence in Nigeria, as they control a major portion of the telecommunications sector and repatriate profits back to their country. Applying this concept to a potential North-South division in Nigeria, it's possible that the North, with its larger investments, could maintain control over the South. This dynamic is akin to the saying, "He who pays the piper calls the tune," implying that those who provide financial support often hold decision-making power. This could result in the North gaining control over the South and utilizing revenue generated from the South to develop their own country. Peace! |
benardtotti:Lol, your comment reeks of ignorance. Allow me to enlighten you. Northern Nigerians were educated and literate before your forefathers understood the value of literacy. Education is education, regardless of the language in which it is delivered. Education consists of knowledge, skills, and sound judgment. The core North was deeply invested in Islamic education; I encourage you to research this further. Islamic education was, in many ways, superior to our current educational system. It emphasized the acquisition of knowledge, morality, practical skills or trades, and the development of sound judgment. Before the arrival of the colonialists, Northerners were highly literate and could read and write in Ajami. They largely engaged in various trades, which is why many Northerners, even today, are involved in commerce, whether on a small or large scale, while others were farmers, blacksmiths, and artisans. Their foundation in Islamic education fostered contentment, their expertise in crafts and trades made them independent, and the moral teachings in Islam provided them with discernment. This is why they quickly recognized the colonialists’ motives of enslavement and economic dependency and resisted them vehemently. Many northern monarchs won battles against the colonialists, forcing them to focus their efforts on the less educated southern regions of Nigeria, where they introduced Western education and literacy and offered jobs upon graduation. They built schools, converted students to Christianity, trained them to become employees rather than employers, established governmental structures, and used Southerners as intermediaries to exploit our resources to this day. They used these graduates as interpreters to lure their uneducated people into slavery in foreign lands with empty promises, which is why there were many Yoruba, Igbo, and others in servitude abroad. The North, being educated, resisted these ulterior motives and protected its people. They did not allow themselves to be deceived by promises of employment through Western education because they understood the agenda was to convert them to Christianity and exploit their resources. The colonialists were able to conquer Nigeria through the less educated South. They created a government through amalgamation, and to this day, we remain in a form of mental slavery. The Northerners you are belittling were, in fact, the true heroes. They found themselves caught between Islamic and Western education after the colonialists defeated and subjugated Nigeria. They spent decades adapting in such a way that the newly introduced and imposed Western education would not erode their cultural and Islamic values or moral standards. They learned to read and write in Hausa by adapting the Latin (English) alphabet and also acquired basic conversational English, all while focusing on crafts and trade rather than Western education. While Southerners became dependent through Western education, the Hausas continued farming, trading, and securing business deals with the colonialists, supplying them with agricultural products from the North. This is how Dantata succeeded—he could speak some English, which enabled him to negotiate directly with the colonialists and profit from his business dealings. The Dantata family, including Dangote and others, remain prominent in trade to this day, and Kano is still known as the centre of commerce. The North, which you claim is holding the country back, was actually set back by Southerners who, after being brainwashed by the colonialists into Christianity, slavery, and an education system that rendered us dependent on working for others, contributed to this situation. Now that the Nigerian government has regained its sense, it is seeking to reform the educational system we inherited from our colonial masters—shifting from producing employees to producing employers by encouraging vocational, technical, and business education. This is the same approach the North emphasized in Islamic education: after acquiring the necessary knowledge, students would move on to learn farming, crafts, or trading. There are numerous Quranic verses on ethics and guidelines for farming, trade etc, as well as Ahadith dedicated to these subjects, to provide guidance. Islamic education covers all aspects of life. The South set the North back, not the other way round. Peace! |

mikeapollo:You're right. The choice of the title "king" by Chukwudi Ihenetu, the Igbo leader in Ghana, seems to be an exaggerated representation of his role within the community. The term "chief" would be more accurate since a chief is the leader or head of a tribe, organization, or other groups without necessarily having an ancestral land or kingdom attached to it. In this context, Dr. Ihenetu could be appropriately referred to as the "chief" of the Igbo people residing in Ghana. Peace! |

Eriokanmi:You are overestimating Peter Obi’s influence and performance in the 2023 presidential election. Your assertion that Obi actually won the election is not supported by the official results or voting patterns. If you examine the Labour Party’s (LP) votes in the 2023 presidential election, it becomes clear that Obi struggled in many parts of the country, especially in the northern states where voter numbers are high. In fact, there are several states in the North where Obi received fewer than 100,000 votes, which is a clear indication of his limited popularity in that region. This was not a result of rigging; rather, it reflected his actual level of support. While there were some allegations of minor irregularities in the South-West, possibly in favor of Tinubu, Obi’s low vote counts in the North are widely genuine, as he simply was not a popular candidate over there. Obi’s performance was also underwhelming in some parts of the Middle Belt, such as Kogi, Niger, and Kwara states, although he did manage to do relatively well in Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue and FCT. In Kaduna, Obi performed better than expected, despite the influence of figures like El-Rufai, but El-Rufai’s political reach does not extend much beyond Kaduna itself. This suggests that Obi does not need any alliance or support from El-Rufai to win in those places making him unsuitable for vice-presidential slot. An alternative northern politician who could significantly boost Obi’s chances is Kwankwaso, given his strong following in Kano and other parts of the North. However, Kwankwaso is unlikely to agree to play a vice-president role to Obi, and even if such an alliance were to happen, their chances of winning would still be uncertain—essentially a 50/50 proposition. On the other hand, Atiku remains the most formidable northern candidate, having secured over six million votes in 2023. If Atiku and Obi were to combine their support bases, they could present a strong challenge to Tinubu, but the reality is that Obi would likely have to settle for the vice-presidential slot in such an arrangement. Even then, there is no guarantee of victory, as the power of incumbency in Nigeria is very strong and it is historically difficult to unseat a sitting president. Looking ahead to 2027, it is likely that any rigging or electoral manipulation would be even more pronounced in the South-West, where Yoruba voters are expected to remain loyal to Tinubu regardless of his performance. There is also a real risk that opposition voters, particularly Igbos, could face obstacles or even violence in Lagos and other western states, making it difficult for them to win those areas. It is also important to note that, despite criticism of his first term, many people may still vote for Tinubu in 2027. Unlike former President Jonathan, who allowed the will of the people to prevail for the sake of peace, Tinubu will do whatever it takes to retain power, potentially staying in office until 2031. By that time, both Obi and Atiku may have retired from active politics due to age, especially since Obi has hinted that 2027 could be his last presidential contest. Considering all these factors, it is clear that the chances of either Atiku or Obi becoming president are quite slim under the current political circumstances. Peace!

SusanOpeyemi:It is important to draw a line between Reno's political views and his personal life choices. While we may disagree with his political opinions and it is our right to challenge them, his personal life should remain off-limits. None of us can claim to know the full story behind his marital issues, as we have only heard one side of the narrative. It is unwise to pass judgment based on incomplete information. We cannot accurately assess a situation without considering all perspectives involved. Rather than focusing on Reno's personal life, let's concentrate on discussing the political issues that affect us all. Life is too short to dwell on the personal affairs of others, so let's allow Reno the freedom to pursue his own happiness and peace of mind. Respecting his privacy will enable us to maintain a constructive dialogue about politics while avoiding unnecessary intrusion into his personal life. Peace! |
Raskasal:That's the true definition of a sovereign country. Without controlling social media platforms, external forces might exploit these channels to manipulate a nation's affairs or monitor government and citizens' activities. This level of control allows a country to maintain autonomy over its internal affairs, which is a critical aspect of sovereignty. By keeping a close watch on social media platforms and their usage within the country, the US aims to protect its national interests, maintain sovereignty, and prevent external forces from manipulating its internal affairs. In doing so, the US reduces the risk of outside influence and interference, ensuring that it remains a sovereign nation in practice as well as in name. Without controlling social media platforms, a country may encounter potential consequences during conflicts with other nations. These consequences could include having social media access restricted, breaching of sensitive data and communications monitored by external forces. For instance, during the conflict between Iran and Israel, Iran had to halt the use of social media for communication because the United States, an ally of Israel, owned the platforms and could potentially gather intelligence from them. Sovereign nations like the United States, China, and Russia exercise control over their social media platforms to protect their government and citizens' data from external threats. For Nigeria and other African countries to truly become sovereign, we have to consider developing and utilizing indigenous social media applications that safeguard our sensitive information and minimize the risk of external interference. Peace! |
Fiscus105:Given the disappointing track records of leaders like Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, and other Nigerian politicians who have contributed to our stagnation, it's no wonder that some of us would eagerly cast our ballots for a more forward-thinking, unbiased, and efficient candidate—like Artificial Intelligence (AI)! After all, who better to trust with our country's progress than an entity that can process data faster than we can blink and make calculated decisions without the cloud of personal interests or political agendas? Btw, even Seun seems to have caught on, he's gradually handing over Nairaland to AI. ![]() Peace! |

As the women of Benue take to the streets in a visible display of protest, their male counterparts are biding their time, conserving their energy for an entirely different form of protest that will unfold behind closed doors in the "oza room" later that night.

franchasng:Merely replacing Satan with Lucifer does not signify any real change or improvement for our nation. Both figures represent the same darkness and malevolence, just as Tinubu and Obi have demonstrated their ineffectiveness in leading Nigeria towards growth and progress. They are two sides of the same coin, and exchanging one for the other will not bring about the transformative change our country desperately needs. It's time for us to question our thought process: why do we believe that switching between leaders who have both contributed to our stagnation will suddenly provide a better future? Instead of falling prey to this false dichotomy, we must demand better options and seek genuine solutions that will propel Nigeria forward, breaking free from the grip of these destructive forces. Peace! |
They have told us that they are fighting for the rights of ordinary Nigerians and that they are on a rescue mission but what is confusing to the Nigerians they want to rescue is that these men made up of a former vice president, former governors, ministers and political office holders are the same people who have presided over the affairs of this nation for the past four decades. We have nothing to show for their decades of leadership other than being seen as a nation divided by tribe and religion and thriving in mediocrity. We are a nation lacking in the basics whose majority are poor but here we are watching those who set our nation on fire saying they are the fire brigade. No, you are not; you are a bunch of greedy and selfish old men who believe that political power is your birthright. You stand for nothing other than your interests and will pay any price to hold political office. ![]() |
