Except from snoring during sermon(which is demonic) these are normal stuffs that happens anywhere. We are humans and not some machine which stays mute throughout the service.

what are you saying mr oga? So sleeping is not being human but the others are. *shakes my head* People must try to justify their actions be it right or wrong.

GEJ legacy ba?
If it were a bad report it wouldn't be his legacy. I guess under his government everything was perfect.
This is the reason we will find it difficult being a great nation again, looking backwards when we ought to look forward.
I saw a thread of him remembering Yar'dua 6 yrs later and people started with praises yet again. Was he remembered 5, 4 or 3 years ago? Please, let's be focused and stop being sentimental.

So Nigerians actually believe these celebrity marketing stunts. Choiiii, i weep.

Still and would always have a crush on her.

Still and would always have a crush on this lady.

. Guy go check record, since CR7 came 2 R.Madrid, Messi has 15goals why CR7 has 16goals. #Fact#

Bro, i am not disputing that fact. I am only replying the guy who said he doesn't score big teams. I am only pointing out the fact that C. Ronaldo has 16 el clasico which isn't far off from Messi's 21.

mrlaw93:
Sir, the thread isn't based on past seasons bt the present. If u had read widely u will knw most of all of sample used re of this season.

Sir, if you read intelligently, you would see i am simply replying what someone wrote and not replying based on the thread.

bros, easy with your 'rules' that has no facts backing it. He has 16 'el clasico' goals to Messi's 21.

IYADARA:
I am an architect ...he blames me for every little mistakes in all designs, even the one he commits, he will always ask me why I wud print designs with mistake, adesigns that someone else worked on, anytime he tells me to print and he sees mistake, the blame my brother still comes to me..... I am always the bad person,...... When client complains, even without asking who worked on the design, he assumes I am responsible,.......

He finds every little opportunity to insult me..... He makes me feel the salary he is paying me isn't worth my productivity.....

honestly speaking, I rarely comment on nairaland but after reading this quoted post I can make out that
1.) your boss admires your work and will of course look for ways to run you down so as not to ''burst your head" hence he criticises you for mistakes not from your end.
2.) he wants to deflate you so you dare not question his decisions.( one-man business mentality)
I would suggest you endure, learn and of course have an escape strategy.
cheers

i watched this movie like 2 years back. It wasn't funny at all.
''What the hell is going on?'' was what went through my head till the end credits came up.
Na wetin/who that otutu be for the movie na wey make person faint? The film tire me ooo.
I downloaded it yet again 2 weeks back to rewatch soon.

safarigirl:
oh please! Whatever happened to artistes like Dare, Simi, Timi Dakolo, Waje, Asa and Bez.....it's not as difficult as you lot like to spread to find quality artistes in Nigeria. If the American White people Grammys have refused to acknowledge them because they only see Angelique, doesn't mean we do crap music. Angelique is the safe choice that they're used to

Save for Wombolombo, Angelique is mostly not on the airwaves, not every white endorsed thing should be worshipped.

who said our music is crap? Just because there was no grammy for a Nigerian artist doesnt mean you should condemn a winner. Everything isn't about race, she is an African and you should be proud of that. She is very much respected worldwide.

So are we to devalue the Naira?

oluwafreshkid:
U only uploaded screen shots of ur lock screen, u didn't put d shots of wen u were unlocking it.

I went tru them, u didn't unlock ur phone.
I hope u r getting me?

If u did, there will be a repeated pattern in all d pictures, now that's a proven way to hack d picture password. I've done it number of times.

Thanks though.... all systems are prone to breach.

bro, isn't that the beauty of the security? when you need 7 screenshots of the unlocking process. All security codes are breakable, it's how easy/difficult that counts.

If we claim this corruption fight is selective, when is it never one? Provided who ever charged is not innocent (or perceived guilty)they have my support.

YonkijiSappo:
That is not twisted history, that is the Yoruba myth of creation, where the world started in Ile-Ife.
Same way christians and Muslims believe the myth that Adam and Eve were the first humans created somewhere in first Garden which started in the middle East by God. And other world cultures also have theirs.

What is the Bini myth of Creation? , and why does Ogiso mean "Sky Kings" ..... which is strikingly similar to the original Yoruba account?
loool.... this guy does not know his own story.

Clap for yourself. You replied intelligently right?

Pidggin:
A wise president will use diplomacy

A wise president would use diplomacy when negotiating with a legal Government or authority.
Light does not mix with darkness for a reason.
Do you want your Government to start negotiating with every tom, dick and harry especially cultists?

YonkijiSappo:
Who told you Oduduwa has no meaning in the Yoruba Language, there are MANY MANY names that begin with Odu in Yoruba, examples Odumakin, Odufuwa, Odusola, Odutola etc. Odu in Yoruba means the Mysteries of Ifa divination. The Ifa corpus is even called "ODU IFA"
Oduduwa is Odu da Iwa.... The mysteries that makes behaviour.
Keep lying to yourselves in that Benin.... first one Bini guy said It was Izoduwa, now, you are saying Imadoduwa.....lol.... next name you people will call him is Ogisoduwa.

Imado ko, Antelope ni.

Keep twisting it.... twist that history very well.

Like twisting that Oduduwa came from the sky with a cock and sand ba?
Then, he came from Egypt, then from the middle east. I wonder if there are black princes in the middle east?

emmanuelpopson:
What we know is that the Yoruba
language seperated lingustically about
5000 years ago from the wider span of
its language family and it seperated
about 2000 years ago from Igala.
The Yoruba have a sphere that
encompasses no less than 5 West African
States.
Furthermore; all archaelogical artifacts in
Yoruba Land date to FAR before any
dates that have been acquired in Benin.
The Benin People have always claimed a
descent from Ife via Oranmiyan.
Benin Kings were buried in Ife up till the
late 19th and early 20th century.
Up till the same period, the consent of
the Ooni was required for the crowning
of any Benin monarch.
Furthermore; the science shows that EDO
is part of the wider Yoruba Linguistic
The Ife Terracottas date to the 12th
century - but the first Benin Kingdom
which amalgamated all the Chiefdoms
dates to the 13th.
Previous to the Eriaduwa II; the
conservative idea about Benin origins is
that when the Chiefdoms decide to unify;
Oranmiyan was LOANED to them and
that he produced the dynasty of Eweka.
Oyo settlements are dated to about 1000
AD etc.
There is no need for these relatively
minor problems.
As far as I am concerned, the Edo are
today, distinct from the Yorubas,
regardless of whether they dynasties
originated from Ife or NOT.
It is also not prudent to speak of
Origins in such an absolute sense; as
the earliest Human fossiles of Homo sp
in West Africa were found near Akure,
dating about 10000 years back - we
might thus ask; the settlements in Benin
which Oranmiyan unified; what are there
origins? This is a mystery.
What we can say for sure is this:
1. The Yorubas HAVE Never at any point
in time claimed to be descended from
Benin.
2. The Benin up till the recent have
always claimed a Dynastic descent from
Ife.
The rest is mere speculation.
There are very few good books on
Yoruba History out there.
I have an advice for you - BEWARE OF
BOOKS WRITTEN BY PEOPLE WITH
ENGLISH NAMES REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER THEY ARE EUROPEAN OR
NOT; ESPECIALLY IF THE BOOK WAS
WRITTEN PRIOR TO INDEPENDENCE.
Many theories that have been cooked up
about Yoruba origins include Illustrous
Parentage Theories which attempt to link
the Yoruba to Egypt, or to the Etruscans
or to Atlantis.
The best resolution; as already put forth
by the Ooni is to go with the standard
mythological account pending a scientific
resolution.
This method is common all over the
world. In fact, most cultures claim that
they were the FIRST People on the earth!
The Yorubas believe that Oduduwa was
lowered from Heaven and he founded
the Earth. Period.
It is also worthy to note that all over the
world; the Ooni is acknowledged as the
de facto spiritual head of the Yoruba. In
Cuba, in Brazil, etc - testaments to the
resilience of Yoruba culture; the Ooni
and the place and position of Ife are still
revered.

Oga, do not speak on things you don't know.
There is nothing like erediuawa II for a start.
Have you read any book on the Benin empire?
Why is a country named after Benin (pronounced bene, why is that?)
Have you read/heard the Binis' version of the Oranmiyan story?
Please do that. Hearing from both sides helps.
What's with the the squabble between the Alaafin and Ooni?

OPCNAIRALAND:
It is indisputable that Oba is a titular position and belongs to Yoruba culture, not Benin.

So why is King of Benin a titular Omo n'Oba (the descendant of Oba), can the Benin palace give us clarity on this?

Somebody has just disputed this, giving facts or whatever they are. Did you understand what the Esogban of Benin said at all?
Why don't you share with us claims/arguments countering what he just said instead of just making a statement saying it is indisputable. What do you mean by "indisputable".
State your arguments, we are all learning here.

The egg or your picture, which are you more concerned about?

Adminisher:
What kind of talk is this?. People don't know anything about a topic and they would be posting. No chopper is certified for offshore operations if it does not have floatation devices and life jackets. Even planes flying on dry land can float and use of life jackets is part of every safety briefing. This Nairaland is becoming a hall of ignorance

Seconded. Saying that Nairaland is becoming a ''hall of ignorance'' is far too kind.

holamiday:
I don't get. This explanation is a total sham. A complete scam. An uttter charade.

There is no such thing as a water landing for an aircraft that does not have capabilities to land on water. A regular helicopter lands on water, it sinks immediately. Maybe they meant that the helicopter crashed in the water and all occupants swam to safety.

I think they should tell us more about the type of helicopter.

Bros, you need to read more on the aircraft naaaa. Also check with the HUET and SAS trainings.
It would be quite helpful

Waiting patiently for pictures.

bidemi12:
Nigerians need to know their history. Anyone who think's things are worse now is probably 12 years old. Things have always been like this.

True talk.

are you for real? Lwkmd

Are all these allegations true? I do hope these are not tactics of a drowning man, taking anyone down as well

Yes Madam, we know this.
So how come in 8 years you served, we couldn't achieve or achieved very little on this?

Dedetwo:
All the democratic pedigrees gained since PDP has been government are now wiped out by APC.

Really? You must have being living in an Utopian world then.

The whole world turns evil when good men do nothing about it.

Good day. Please is your acre N350,000? Or hectare? Because you seem to be interchanging it on posts. Is it negotiable?

WOW!!!!!
