#IfWalmartComesToLagos will Kashamu be the cashier at the drug section?

Whoever came up with these "controversial" tweets deserves to be promoted. Sahara Reporters will probably trend on and off twitter for the next few days, lots of traffic generated, their company will be advertized for free globally by emotion-driven Nigerians and so on...and eventually translate to greater income with the least effort. What an excellent business strategy. This is the kind of person l like to employ - a street smart fellow who understands his job terrain very well (or better yet journalism smart in this case).

It is said, "There are no stupïd questions, only stupïd answers"; and it's also said that, "The stupidest question is the question that has not been asked"

Now it is up to whomever to have sleepless nights, argue endlessly, develop a heart attack or even kill yourself over a question - that's not my business!

oduastates:
Sorry I have not seen any skill to suggest that the man is employable.

What if Walmart were to have a zoo department!

Your Jagaban has been proven to be good only at your local amala politics!!His first attempt to play National politics on June 9 earned him an abysmal defeat.

Concerning his contribution to PMB's victory,it was nothing to write home about as he only managed to give the APC 500,000 votes margin in six states, a feat far exceeded in several northern states.

Tinubu has only managed to stay in the spotlight using his propaganda machines at the PUNCH,the Nations and sahara reporters.The old man has lost relevance in the scheme and has completely lost out of the power play in Abuja.

Saraki has repeatedly bested the local champion and will continue to do so anyday or anytime

I think the rightful "local champion" in your equation is Saraki because has no political clout beyond Kwara. Tinubu on the other hand, has been dining on the table of national politics in Nigeria for quite a long time, even during the previous military era and with the fiercest dictators in Nigeria's history like Abacha - he survived it all! Don't presume me incorrectly, Tinubu isn't a saint. But I like to think of him as a political "Vampire Hunter D", you know like a political vampire that preys on other political vampires in Nigeria that have ruined and are ruining the country.

General Buhari tried to win the Presidency 4 times. The first 3 attempts was purely a Northern affair and he lost consecutively; on the 4th attempt, however, there was a political marriage with the "amala politicians" and their "amala politics", who became all-inclusive and the backbone of the political offspring APC! Today, he's no longer General Buhari but President Buhari. If you think it was just "votes" that defeated the PDP, then your political viewpoint is shallow. PDP were already defeated even before the elections: psychologically, socially...etc! The elections were just the formality to make PDP's defeat official. I'm not sure what your political orientation is, but I think after effectively ruining the self-acclaimed infallible all-powerful PDP (an uncommon political feat) and turning them into a political relic of defeat for future generations, no sane politician that aspires for political greatness in Nigeria will take the "amala politicians" and their "amala politics" for granted anymore!

Beyond all this, Tinubu has nothing left to prove to anybody. He was the "lunar date" that re-aligned all the "political stars" in Nigeria into his orbit, the likes of OBJ, IBB et al! Until somebody else finds a way to separate this alignment, APC will remain in power and Tinubu will always be relevant. They didn't call him the "Lion" of Bourdillon by mistake. Just as Lions like to hunt in the dark and they hunt best in the dark, Tinubu works his political brilliance best behind the scenes.

chukwudi44:
why are you begging Saraki to resign? I thought the almighty jagaban can force him out!!! Bunch of mofos

The Jagaban isn't Almighty but I think mighty enough to have led the APC to national electoral victory, mighty enough to have spearheaded the conquering of PDP inside its political fortress... So, Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the political T-Rex of the new democratic dispensation, can and will eventually through his party. Jonathan is an "ex" president today because of people like Jagaban, how much more will Saraki become an ex-Senate president in a short time, unless he makes amends with APC leadership quickly. Jagaban, retiring his political opponents since 1999!

front247:
Apc ideology is violence, lies and propaganda they will soon turn Nigeria to a one party state

A one party state? Well, that's a real possibility but it's not APC's fault the PDP is a party of thieves and dimwits who can't organize themselves to form a credible opposition. I think right now, PDP is still bickering with themselves about how the election monies they stole were shared. The remaining parties don't have national appeal because they have confined themselves within their tribe. So, a one party state might eventually become the reality for now.

Ugik:
you talk as if you live in another country,he needs the support of the legislative to carry out his judic+al function..tune in to cnn or visit cnn.com and see how obama rubs it with republucans especially with the infamous Health care bill of last year.

Do you know how many impeachable actions Obama has done as POTUS, yet the (smart) Republican party reined its members in not to make any move for his impeachment because it definitely would have been political suicide for the party in the 2016 upcoming elections, because of the enormous goodwill Obama enjoys from a very significant US population, simply because he's the first black POTUS? If Obama were a Caucasian, he would already have been impeached. That's why Obama behaves politically like a spoilt child because he (and the Democratic party) knows due to the first-of-its-kind history-making political status he enjoys, he'll get away with almost anything politically. Kind of like the "I'm aware that i'm rare" notion, and preferential treatment is given and misdemeanors excused!

However, in PDP's case, with APC having the controlling numbers substantially in both the Senate and House of Representatives, there's little or nothing they can put up as resistance to effectively oppose Buhari's agenda as President, especially when PDP is full of dimwits. I'll reiterate that PDP is undoubtedly APC's b¡tch for now - they have no choice but to play along, and make some hullabaloo noise as they crawl behind their new political master. And knowing how politically savvy APC is, PDP will surely be APC's b¡tch for a very long time.

doctokwus:
Even in America, d most advanced democracy in the world, u have to gauge the pulse of the electorate,or else u are toast.
It's probably only in Nigeria that a member of NASS goes to the assembly and starts acting his/her own script because they have always felt that d only critical factor u need to win an election is to have cash and support of the govt at centre,then u rig all u can.
What am I saying:all the legislators need buhari rather than buhari needing them because gradually and surely his personality,integrity,policies,actions and dividends of those actions are impacting positively and winning more converts;so it would be suicidal to start stupid opposition against him.

A smart man!

SeverusSnape:
That was brutal

You must be a fan of Leonidas, I am too.

It's terrible to see that Nigerians have accepted oppression as normal, and have adjusted their lifestyles to a political system of oppression that has been running in the country for so long. It's so bad that most of the society have been brainwashed to the point that the oppressors are labeled as the "heros" of society, yet here's a country where even the so-called "middle / working class" are nothing but decorated slaves within the system. To buy a land and build, the system is such that a Nigerian has to pay the "land owner", the government, (directly or indirectly) the palaces, the palace militias, the touts of the palace militias, the touts of the touts of the palace militias, the riffraffs associated to the touts of the touts of the palace militias and so on. And yet these political oppressors and land violators will be the first to label as despotic any Nigerian government that doesn't tolerate their impunity and seeks to enforce its statutory duty as the true sole land administrator in the country. The gods must be crazy indeed...and soon enough we will make them bleed to death too !

SeverusSnape:
See what the Nigerian Army has been reduced to under this present government of Buhari. Oh!...I weep for this country.

If you want to legally own a land in Nigeria, you'll have to pay for it or inherit it from someone who paid for it, and this goes for every citizen except...the brazen palace folks who think themselves as demigods. They want a land, they just claim it and attach some bogus fairytale to it and they are not to be challenged; in fact, it virtually becomes abominable and punishable not to accept their unverifiable claims hook, line and sinker. Then you see them automatically just have vast lands, sometimes running into thousands of acres, which they NOW SELL off to people, and sometimes at ridiculous sums. Does this make sense to you? It's unacceptable. The age of scientific reasoning is gradually coming alive in Nigeria and in due time we will bring the political dispensation of kings to an end and send them to political oblivion. As more critical thinkers are making way into the Nigerian government circles, we will push for the government system to evolve, and there will be an inevitable clash: science vs the ancestral gods. Nigerians will eventually find out that the "gods" can bleed - and bleed to death they shall

Nigerian Army General And PIC In Land Grabbing Scandal At Banana Island

Under the orders of an Army General and the Presidential Implementation Committee (PIC) Some men of the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Army Illegally and in contravention of a court injunction stormed a massive expanse of land around Onikoyi area of Banana Island in Ikoyi, owned by the Onikoyi and other private citizens and forcefully ejected workers and the owners of the land.

They later moved on to expand their land grabbing operation using violence and weapons assigned them to serve and protect citizens. A senior officer among the soldiers said they were acting on the orders of the Presidency/Federal Govt. This operation which was instigated by a Nigerian Army General who is also known to be a key financier of the seating Presidents election campaign has seen the alleged Land Grabbers forcefully take control of prime water front properties spanning acres and worth 400Million Naira per plot. The land grabbing exercise by these individual wreaks of gross abuse of power. This is not the change we votes for. As at the time of this post men of the Nigerian Army were seen on the premises guarding the land. There are also reports that these land now siezed by the Presidential Implementation Committee would be used in the settlement of key past and present political figures. More evidence on their activities will be postedon this thread shortly.

Perhaps it is true that Power corrupts absolutely.After the abuse the GEJ Government meted on Nigerians, which led to their ousting, President Mohammadu Buhari and his handlers are forgetting what bad governance is with this abuse of power. We shall get to the bottom of this.

- Femi DaSilva

The following pictures were taken by fearful bystanders some of whom were later forced into corporal punishments by the officers pictured.

The Onikoyi should show us the receipts of purchase for the lands and case closed; but wait, he likely can't because, em, the lands are ancestral lands that were freely bequeathed to him by the ancestors, who inherited them freely from the ancestral gods, who are the original land owners but aren't even Nigerians to begin with! Smh, Nigerian kings have been stealing choice lands with impunity throughout Nigeria since God knows when.

Poor hippo, endangered species definitely
It's a vegetarian and doesn't attack unless disturbed or someone breaches its territory
SMH..

Hippos have been scientifically verified and proven to be meat eaters too, so in reality they are omnivores. Although they are largely plant eaters, they do consume meat like carrion leftovers from crocs etc, and in fact they have been proven to predate sometimes, deliberately hunting down prey like impalas etc while trying to cross a river; and even practice cannibalism where they intentionally kill and eat themselves. You can check out YouTube for videos documenting hippos eating meat. And do you know there are more human deaths recorded by hippos than lions? So you might want to repaint that benign plant-eater hippo perspective you have in your mind. Hippos are very wildly dangerous and violently aggressive creatures. They don't always attack because they are threatened or encroached upon. Sometimes, they attack simply because THEY CAN and WANT TO.

The last place anyone without impregnable protection wants to be now is a place where human sacrifice with non-indigenes is a norm, not to even mention at this time the boyfriend of the mystical sea goddess is alleged to have kicked the bucket. Maybe 10,000 or so heads would be decapitated in Osun State and particularly in that demon city Ile-Ife, who knows - if you get captured, you might find out. For the non-indigenes residing in Ife, better not talk to any stranger or any familiar entity you know is of pagan extraction, and avoid physical contacts, particularly hand shakes. Public transport, markets...etc is one viable sources they will be relying on. One shake is all it takes and a victim automatically becomes a numb puppet that does their bidding and no one around will suspect foulplay and those who do won't come to the victim's aid because they are part of the pagan society. So don't think it's just a night thing, no, the daytime is when they'll hunt for victims the most and most victims will become "magically" missing during the day. This is because most people's security consciousness automatically kicks in at night and people tend to be more careful during the dark hours; but during the day, many people feel safe under the sunlight and subconsciously turn off their "security consciousness". This is no joke, sorcery is real - and Ife sorcerers are certifiably among the baddest evilest sorcerers on the planet, with spells, charms and all kinds of mystical weaponry that are dangerously potent. Unless you can walk on the sea like Jesus did, or you're leading an army of ruthless virulent sadistic murderers seeking to take over the world like... , then don't try play hero. God won't save you because your monumental stupidïty will piss him off.

Hmmm!!! Seems this Lioness is perpetually sleeping, comatose would be befitting.

Lions are reputed to sleep up to 20 hours daily, which implies in 4 hours they can do what no other predators can do: take over the jungle! Now imagine what APC, a pack of lions, will do in the Senate. Don't be fooled by their initial "sleeping". If you don't believe me, ask the PDP.

Mogidi:
Dino had the last laugh though, he got what he wanted while Senator Remi Tinubu was busy sleeping in the chamber as usual.

Sorry old man, it's no longer business as usual. Advocating APC does the same things PDP did in 16 years that almost ruined this country is utter insanity. What matters is appointing people who can get the job done, every other thing like ethnicity, religion...etc is totally irrelevant. The dawn of a new Nigeria is upon us. This kind of retrogressive thinking is incompatible with it.

You have a point, I'm inclined to reason with you. But I just can't fathom why a man would want to become a woman, It's mind boggling, or why a full grown man will have affection emotionally and sexually for his fellow man.

I once read an article/story on BBC online, about a man who was born gay, yes, he was born gay. Very touching story, I wish I can tell it all here, this man tried to kill himself on various occasions because he knew he wasn't normal. This guy enlisted into the US Marine, to fight in the Vietnam War, just because he wanted to die. Take note, He was from a strictly religious family and didn't want to commit suicide.... Well, he survived the war as fate may have it. Many things happened afterwards. He was the first US Marine to publicly announce he's gay.

Many so-called "born gay" folks were actually victims of rapë during their childhoods, some as far as their toddler years. Some later recover psychologically, but some don't and these are the ones I think who usually make such "i-was-born-gay" claims. Being gay isn't genetic, if it were, then it would be scientifically transferable on the genetic level and within the human gene pool - but it's not. It's a psychological thing. Sometimes, it's due to depravity, sometimes maybe some have set their minds to want to explore things beyond what is considered normal in nature, some are just outrightly insane, some are just adhering to the popular zeitgeist in the world...and so on. The reasons are variegated, but truth be told it's a choice. They chose to, no matter whatever scientific lies and unfounded theories they come up with trying to make themselves acceptable to human society as being normal. But that's their problem, not mine. If any one chooses to live as an anomaly (gay or what have you), I don't have a problem with that so long as they don't violate my space and my interests. Otherwise, then i'll give them hell, simple!

SeverusSnape:
But that's not enough reason for one to change his/her gender. Okay, I know albinism is as a result of shortage of melanin in the skin. What if "transgenderism" is as a result of shortage of testosterone in a man or oestrogen in the case of a woman

No, there's no correlation between these, well, not that I know of. Low testosterone levels in men results in low energy levels, low libido etc; and I think low estrogen levels in a woman indicates there might be a problem with the ovaries and she will be exhibiting similar symptoms consistent with menopause. So, I suppose that transgenderism is a psychological issue. Not everyone has the mental stamina to cope with the traumatic vicissitudes of life they experience, and this is one of the possible results when some people's minds have been messed up really bad. Mental illnesses, in my opinion, are by far the most complicated to detect and/or resolve because most times there's no quick fix to it and it might take a prolonged treatment and a whole lot of time. Probably 80% of the human society are "crazy" in some sort of way but half of them don't even know it, let alone to seek treatment. Just look at Nairaland for example, crazy people of all sorts are here

Incorruptible:
Good evening everyone. Something just happened this evening. Have seen here like a family. So, I have no second thought running here for advise
Met a girl in March. We started going out. It was kul and awesome. We love each other. Hey, I can swear she love me.
You know , she is still a virgin, so sex was rule out(not a condition for the relationship, but cos I don't want to force her into it)
While together, we have talked countless time on how we gonna get married. Mehn, it seems to be the best relationship I have had so far
Well, this night, she came to my house. She started crying. She said she want to focus. She don't want commitment. She wants to end the relationship. She went on telling me she don't know why she is doing it. That maybe she is scared of heartbreak cos of her past experience in relationship. Her past experience seems to have been playing on her.
Dear Nairalander, is certain she is done. Am heartbroken. Pls tell me how to handle this. How can one position his mind to stay away from love till one is ready to settle down.
She is right now in my house, while I have gone to work. Just talk to me.
She is 21( year 1) am 27 (year 2)

Go figure, she likely just had sex with somebody else! It was one of those "I don't know how it just happened" scenarios girls often claim. She's calling it quits with you because either she's feeling too guilty and ashamed to admit the truth to you, or it's with someone she has strong feelings for but was in denial and denial is no longer necessary. Let me make something categorically clear that you "small" boys don't understand: there's no vacuum with a woman, never! If one man is exiting, better believe another man is making an entry. If she not talking to you anymore, doesn't mean she's stop talking. No, she's talking to somebody else. Get my point?
