An2elect2: Anything coming from white racists, is a no no for me.
They don't even know what's wrong with us. And funny enough, they honestly don't want to know. Am one person that will never play a sycophant to anybody no matter how highly placed you are. I criticise our leaders' odious behaviour mercilessly. And even us as a people, because our leaders are a product of us. We are all corrupt! i see this everywhere i go. Try correcting any one and watch their spiteful reaction.
Let me say this, you have no right to criticise these leaders if your small-scaled lifestyle is no different! I see so many big hypocrites here condemning the govt when they are they vilest beings walking this earth. Shame!
Albeit that, no white ignorant slowpoke who does not give two rats about us should dictate to us how to run ourselves! Are we living for them? Are we here to please or show white people what we can do? These are racists who see themselves as superior to all humans based on their economic and infrastructural progress. Damn! They pretend like they care about us when in fact they want us down so they can maintain their superiority status. Even if we were doing so great, these parasites will still find a reason to hate us.
Imagine someone, saying the black's race problem is genetic. LOL And some people applauded that. If our unique problem is genetic then lets all go sleep after all it is in us to remain like that. LOLZZZZZZZ
Most white people are so ignorant and damn gullible that they believe anything coming from the western media. If there is any group in this world that has been lied to, it is the white race. LOL
yea, had to repost. The typical reaction of the average black man when white people hit them with some dose of truth: they play the racists card and/or the entitlement card. Calling white people parasites...hahahaha, keep on clowning and tell us another joke. Maybe all the ship loads of people crossing from places like Libya to Europe are whites, or perhaps the crude oil and other resources being taken abroad from Africa are done on charity without payment...etc, right? I'm black (racially speaking) and if it's theorized that black people problems are genetic, well so far it's a probable theory and remains valid until sufficiently proven otherwise. Seems you could use some deep research on the black race and discover how the black race has been pretty much a mess for most of its existence. Let's take a critical look at black countries in Africa or black communities abroad in places like North America, Europe, Asia etc, crime, thuggery, and all kinds of social vices are what you'll find in majority. Black people living right and making notable achievements are still by far in the minority. Stop accusing white people blindly like the typical brainwashed African American negro with a slave-hate mentality. The greatest enemy of the black race is the black race. White people have done more good to blacks than black people ever did to themselves. |

Romance › Re: Five Things Ladies Secretly Admire In A Guy by Amazo: 9:45pm On May 24, 2015 |
lasstropinky: Am on it again... here to expose the Ladies on their secret way of admiring guys.Let's get it done
1. VOICE: If you have such a thin,rythmic all the way Lovely voice it takes small time You get many admirers from the Lady's crew.
2. ACCENTS: A Prof once asked a guy if he truly was a graduate. Why? because he said the guy spoke English like a farmer. Good accent makes you unique and uniqueness earn you a lot of admiration from the Lady's crew.
3.TALENT: You ever wonder why Ladies keep falling for Davido or why 2baba dey impregnate anything impregnatable? it's talent. Two talents Ladies admire in guys are Dancing and Singing. I have the latter.
4. BRILLIANCY: No much explanation brilliancy is an automatic door for admiration.
5. CALMNESS : She just keep staring at you as you sat down there in perfect Calmness and Gentleness in the face of Trouble.
If you are a Lady and you don't secretly admire these things in guys then you are a walking Living emotionally dead robotic Lady. Maybe little girls admire all these, but a grown-ass woman who knows what's up about life admires: A) Wealth. Being wealthy is a huge turn on for women because they instinctively figure that for you to have acquired such wealth, you must have the kinds of qualities you mentioned (talent, intelligence etc) or come from a wealthy pedigree that possess such. B) Authority. Women love men with authority or power and it's easy to understand why, so I won't go into the details. The best women always run after influential men. C) Communication. Women are suckers for articulate men. Think i'll stop here because i'm not in the mood for words. |

Fikzy: Dear All,
My friend has a challenge with his girlfriend because her best friend is a guy.
Even though this was made known to him before the relationship got intense now he feels uncomfortable with the third party in the relationship. The girl is very close to the guy to the extent that she is welcome to pass the night at the guys home where he lives with his parents and folks.
My guy is worried, I need advice on how to advice him. A guy and a girl being best friends end up being f^ck buddies 99% of the time - been there, done that. From my experience, females who have males as best friends are usually sluts (some reveal their slutty side in the open, while some hide their sluttiness; but whichever way both categories are slutty nonetheless). If i meet any girl and get to know that her so called "bestie" is a guy, it automatically registers in my brain that i've found a likely slut and she will be definitely be an easy lay because i'll begin to relate and appeal to her slutty side (hidden or not) and the rest is history. I think i'll say i've had a 90% success rate with this theory. |
Romance › Re: hmmm by Amazo: 4:05am On May 20, 2015 |
oginni106: I received a message yesterday afternoon from a known person. She was asking me how she can get her ex back permanently. I told her i could not help her get her ex back until i know the reason for the split, she was feeling somehow reluctant at first but she later told me. Her boyfriend was to take her out for a dinner 2 weeks ago, the guy is a student but his parents are financially stable so he had a car. They picked the date and the particular time that he was to come and pick her, she was dress up and fully ready for the dinner because it was their first. She waited for several minutes after the particular time he was suppose to come but he didn't show up until thirty minutes later. "I heard the horn of his car, so i quickly locked all the windows, pick my bag, shoes and ran outside to meet him, when he saw me, i was expecting to come and embrace me and apologise for his coming late but he did not come, so i went close to his vehicle then i noticed that a girl was sitting beside him so i walked up to her told her that i want to sit beside my boyfriend since i knew she was not his sister, i was expecting him to even tell but he just shouted on me and told me to sit at the back seat, i told him i won't sit there until he told me who was but didn't tell me, he was just talking about if i trust him or not, i told him i trust but i want to know the right the girl has to sit beside him since he didn't talk i told it is over and i went back to my house", she said. The problem now is, the guy has not called and visited her since then, i told her to move on and if he truly love her, he will come. NOTE : IN A RELATIONSHIP OR ANYTHING WE ARE DOING, PATIENT IS AN IMPORTANT KEY.
www.tonyhawttalk..com Even after such an ill treatment, she's still asking how to get him back permanently  These small girls (teens, twenties...etc) of nowadays are as dumb as they come, and stupidity has become fashionable for them so much that you'll wonder if stupidity genes alone are what make up their genetic structure.

Romance › Re: Advice- “I Allowed My Best Friend Have Sex With My Wife, Have I Made A Mistake?” by Amazo: 3:24am On May 20, 2015 |
ajasbaba: I will try and make this as short as possible. Few months ago, out drinking with one of my best friend he begins telling me how sexy he finds my wife, and tells me he would love to have s*x with her. He probably expected to get punched in the shoulder, but I told him this has always been a fantasy of mine, allowing my wife to sleep with another man. Although I have never told my wife, or anyone for that matter. My friend and I did not speak about it until a week ago, and I invited him over for dinner last night. I never thought anything would happen other than than some minor flirting, due to her personality. She is the typical business women, very serious, no nonsense and professional. My wife was dressed very nicely, wearing a short black dress and black stiletto heels. I kept the drinks flowing, and the 2 of them started flirting heavily. He had his hands all over her and she was very responsive. I began making comments like you two need to get a room. Finally I said jokingly… you 2 should just get this over with and go in the room and have s*x. I went in the kitchen to get another drink and I hear a door shut. They had gone in the room together, and I just waited in the living room. A few minutes later I knew my fantasy was coming true, as I heard her beginning to moan. I waited a while and listened to her getting louder and louder and finally peeked in. He had her pinned up against the wall unclad wearing only her stiletto heels, pounding her absolutely senseless! I went back into the living room and listened to her. I have never heard her moan and scream that loud, and it went on for almost 2 hours. This morning she was concerned about how I felt and I assured her it was a huge turn on for me and that I was fine with it. I asked her for details of the experience and she told me that she had more orgasms than she could count, and that he was so big he could barely fit inside her, but once he was inside it was the most amazing feeling she has ever had. I can not wait for her to do this again, and she agreed to do this often! Should I just stop this now? I know I probably should, but really don’t want to! A cuckold husband  . Seems your d!ck is small and that sense of inferiority down there has led you to choosing this path. It's okay in the short term because you might find it fulfilling seeing your wife satisfied in a way you feel she deserves that you couldn't give her yourself. However, once a woman has gone big d!ck, she's not going back and her sexual appetite and urge for it will only increase, and so also her disdain for you being a small-d!ck-man of a husband that has been depriving her of such great pleasure she probably didn't know existed till now. At first, she will have an attitude of gratitude to you for "opening her eyes and showing her the way" into the world of big d!cks but in the long term her disrespect for you will increase proportionally and gradually she will begin to despise you so much as being a sexual disappointment and eventually do away with you. Anyway, this should not be taken to likely happen verbatim as projected, as it may or may not be the case since there are exceptions to general rules in many instances. |

MissAdeife: Very embarrassing at times ..Some will say they even want to feel it But you're not even a big booty chic  Just somewhat slightly less than average. Considering the kinds of big booty chics i've met, I can't stare at your type of butt, and nothing more than a 3-seconds glance at best. If only you know what big boot chic really means. The one I saw last whilst driving, oh my god, I hurriedly packed my 550HP by the road side, and followed her behind on foot for some minutes to catch a proper view of the magnificence of her butt's anatomy. Sounds shameless and ridiculous but who cares, that's what big booty does to a man's mind, it crashes the system temporarily or permanently sometimes. I also recall parking another time, I walked the girl straight up to her house and dropping some weird pickup lines along the way. The eyes she gave me, you could tell she knew it wasn't my fault I was acting that way, that her plus-sized curvy watermelon thick a$$ were the cause  . No joke, once you go big booty chic, you ain't going back. They're the best and if she happens to have big boöbs too, then you've hit the jackpot You would be an abnormal man, to see a type like this  and not stare hard

semasir: You are what you think.....not all are as perverse as you presume. For your sake I hope you're right but from my little experience, I can tell you that humans make "mistakes" in whatever aspect of life and those of us who have a voice only do because we learnt from mistakes - either our mistakes, or the mistakes others before us or around us. And having sex with someone else outside of a person's relationship is not necessarily about perversity; if it happens, it could just be another girl who made her own mistake. |

Rather his government will "prosecute" officials outside or within of his government culpable of crimes against the State, according to the laws of Nigeria. So GEJ should stop trying to paint a villain public image for Buhari, whilst according himself as some kind of hero, when in fact the reverse is the case.

OJO TO RO S’EWURO LO RO S’IREKE By Pius Adesanmi
I’ve been thinking.
Madam Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the one Nigerian who should never have left Washington to happen to Nigeria with her lethal IMF cocktails, has told us that we are flat broke and that she and her staff have run out of ideas.
She says that she has high blood pressure.
She says that members of her immediate staff have high blood pressure.
She says that we are now effectively Unoka of Things Fall Apart. Unoka worries about paying only his big debts first. Unoka does not tolerate it when people he owes chicken change come to disturb his sleep. The Nigerian economy pays the gargantuan salaries, perks, and allowances of the most indolent and parasitic fragment of our population – the one percent otherwise known as Ministers, Governors, Senators, and the like. Those are the big debts that the Nigerian economy now pays exclusively. As for little debts like the salaries of teachers, pensioners, nurses, civil servants, and messengers, the Nigerian economy, like Unoka, does not worry. After all, the sun will shine on those standing before it shines on those kneeling beneath them.
But the Madam with the awkward gele is not done with us yet. She says that even the big debts of the big Ogas that she is paying, we are borrowing money from pillar to post to settle that one. She says that our Nigerian black behinds are so broke that we are borrowing money to pay the big Ogas while the rest of us, the ninety-nine percent, rot in penury
So, Ogbeni Aregbesola in the state of Osun is tactically manoeuvring out of every promise made to the people of Osun faster than Major-General Chris Olukolade’s trickster tongue has been manoeuvring in and out of Boko Haram scenarios. Ogbeni is no longer feeding the pupils. Ogbeni is no longer paying salaries. Ogbeni says he has no money. He says the remittances from Madam Okonjo in Abuja never come.
But Ogbeni is thankful that his own case is even still better than that of his friend, Idris Wada, in Kogi state. With Idris Wada, Kogi is in the running to clinch the gold medal for Nigeria’s most misgoverned state. After donating millions to the Jonathan campaign in Abuja, Wada returned to Lokoja to sack workers because he could not pay salaries. And now he has announced that the workers he has not sacked are entitled to only sixty percent of salaries he is not paying.
Yes, you heard that right: a state Governor in Nigeria is announcing a forty-percent cut on salaries he is not paying. Idris Wada says he has no money. He says the remittances from Madam Okonjo in Abuja never come.
But Idris Wada is thankful that his own case is even still better than that of his friend, Ochendo, in Abia state. My young friend, Mitt Okorie, insists that Kogi is the younger brother of Abia when we are talking about underdevelopment, backwardness, and kwashiokored governance. Personally, I don’t believe that it is possible to be more underdeveloped and more horribly governed than Kogi state. Anything worse than Kogi state ought to attract the attention of the international community for humanitarian intervention but I will take Mitt’s word for it that Kogi should not be beating her chest over her poor governance creds in the presence of Abia. Apart from running Nigeria’s dirtiest and filthiest state capital, Ochendo pays salaries by ballot and lottery. Ochendo says he has no money. He says the remittances from Madam Okonjo in Abuja never come.
Case after case after case: no state Governor is paying salaries in Nigeria because Madam Okonjo says we are broke. She says it is the fault of oil. Oil is not selling. Where it is selling at all, prices are not good. And we are losing customers left, right, and centre as those who used to buy our oil have either found other sellers or are gyrating towards cleaner, safer, and more efficient alternative sources of energy. They are investing in tomorrow whereas we are still fighting barbaric wars over the Niger Delta’s oil.
Madam Okonjo has been abusing the father and the mother of oil for being responsible for all our woes. Oil is why we are so blest; oil is why we are so underdeveloped; oil is why we have no light; oil is why we have no roads; oil is why we have no hospitals; oil is why our schools belong to the 19th century; oil is why we have no potable water; oil is why we cannot pay salaries; oil is why life is shorter and more brutish in Nigeria than it is for lions and hyenas in the Serengeti; oil is why ours is such a bitter life.
That is Madam Okonjo’s explanation.
And I start to think about the matriarch’s song. For Mama Isanlu, my grandmother, sings and sings. The matriarch sings:
“Ojo to ro s’ewuro lo ro s’ireke”!
“Ojo to ro s’ewuro lo ro s’ireke”!
The rain falls, sings Mama Isanlu. The rain falls on sugar cane and falls on bitter leaf. There is not a different rain for sugar cane and bitter leaf. Both plants receive the blessing of the same rain from nature, sings the matriarch. The same rain falls on sugar cane and bitter leaf. Sugar cane takes its own share of the rain and travels the path of sweetness while bitter leaf takes its own share of the same rain and travels the path of bitterness.
“Ojo to ro s’ewuro, lo ro s’ireke!”
“Ojo to ro s’ewuro lo ro s’ireke”!
The rain of oil falls on Dubai and falls on Nigeria. The rulers of Dubai use their own share of the rain of oil to launch their people on the path of sweetness while their Nigerian counterparts take same rain and condemn their own people to the path of bitterness. The rain of oil waters sweetness and abundance for the people of Dubai and waters bitterness and penury for the people of Nigeria.
“Ojo to ro s’ewuro, lo ro s’ireke!”
“Ojo to ro s’ewuro lo ro s’ireke”!
And that is why you, President Buhari, must not allow Madam Okonjo Iweala’s gele to block your view to life after oil for Nigeria. She has been offering you advice lately from her location on top of Africa’s most disgraceful gbese economy. We have seen how well her advice to Obasanjo and Jonathan has worked since she happened to our lives.
President Buhari, do not listen to her o. We cannot continue to rely on this single resource controlled by a feeding bottle in Abuja. We have squeezed enough bitterness out of it. Let us see if we are imaginative enough as a people to squeeze sweetness out of agriculture and the hundreds of other resources that litter our patch of earth called Nigeria. Mama Isanlu’s dirge rings still in my ears:
“Ojo to ro s’ewuro, lo ro s’ireke!”
“Ojo to ro s’ewuro lo ro s’ireke”! As finance minister, I rate Okonjo low but considering the level of corruption stemming from the Presidency itself, any finance minister either maintains the status quo or gets fired (or resigns). But it's not rocket science that the greatest problem Nigeria has is the government itself. The Nigerian government is just too expensive to run, and until we fix this, the country will keep moving in circles. |

The Nigerian government is the most expensive government to run in Africa, and relative to its level of economic, political and social development and the overall living standards of the citizenry, it's arguably the most expensive government to run in the world. This is a great starting point if we as a nation want to eliminate government corruption. |

IGBOSON1: ^^^Are you implying the federal gov't can do without the proceeds from oil coming from Imo and Abia? A statement of the obvious, don't you think? In Nigeria, as far as oil and gas revenues are concerned, the SS zone remains the chicken that lays the golden eggs and the breadwinner of the country for now. Relative to the combined bpd production of the entire SS region, current production from all other sources are in fact negligible. Take away everything else (no other income source) and with an efficient and corruption-free government system, oil revenues from the SS zone ALONE can turn Nigeria into the America of Africa (infrastructure and otherwise) in maybe half a century. |

owobokiri: Like I always tell your type here, the day of reckoning is fast approaching. I am happy you noted that jonathan is NOT igbo! Essentially your ridiclous charge that igbos voted for him out of tribalism is not just peurile, it is baseless and stems from a tribal disposition to read every igbo move from petty angles. He is not igbo! He is IJAW!! Yet it is yorubas and fulanis who voted for their vee pee and president sons respectively that turn around to accuse igbos of tribal voting, forgeting that there were igbo presidential candidates in the last elections. You see your life?
I won't go into the details of how much oil produced onshore in igbo communities. That argeument can only happen with a reasonable entity, not with a tribal upstart whose motives are totally driven by primordial hate. Suffice it to say that at this rate, your petty outbursts/ politics will only unleash a chain of events that will force you to have your own country for once. We will then praise you for biulding modern states with receipts from medieval groundnut pyramids and pest infested cocoa. I've been absentia on Nairaland and I return to find this: a "sensational" rant with statements that are incongruent with the reality of the day coming from another agony-beleaguered heartbroken Jonathan supporter  Jonathan lost, and Buhari will be sworn in May 29th 2015, so everything else is inconsequential at this point - deal with it! Of course, you can't go into the details because you'll end up shooting yourself in the foot. Anyway, good luck to building Biafra with the receipts of the "futuristic SE oil"  |
