There are so many idiots on nairaland. What do u guys know about the binis? I wish u all understood what d allegded kidnapper was saying in bini language. I stained my ears to listen. She was simply misunderstood. She actually was taking the obviously missing kids to the local head around that vicinity when she was accoasted by some people who were actually to the same place of the local head to report the issue of missing kids. Of course, she was unfortunate no one gave her listening ears on time as tempers were high. Upon explaining herself she was taken to the local head and she also happens to live in that community too.
Please next time before u all open ur mouth to spit rubbish on Edo people, kindly start by identifying ur own state and tribe u are from. Oba kha tor kpe e.... Ise!

Are you wasting your time explaining to bigots?

Their comments show why Nigeria can never develop. A bunch of very superstitious people.
Those whose lands are littered with forests of ritual human bodies, areas where human skulls, bones, fresh body parts are regular commodities, areas producing drug barons, kidnappers and international fraudsters that litter the international & local media daily then turn round to talk of Benin witchcraft & prostitution. Evans was even kidnapping in Benin before moving to Lagos.

I fear people who can harm people physically in broad daylight (like kidnappers, robbers, one-chancers, drug rings, etc) than metaphysical powers that may or may not exist. So intangible that you cannot even take an alleged witch in court. Yet they claim to be modern & enlightened.

Even the Edo people into prostitution, they do it in developed places where regular health checks are done. It is not to be encouraged, but if you must do something ugly, do it where at least you earn decent money while being relatively safe. Instead of local dirty ghettos without health checks that spread diseases.

lonelydora:
So Evans has female branch in Edo?

Lol. Evans was kidnapping in Benin before moving to Lagos. He said so in his confession. Women are part of the ring since they can take kids without much suspicion.

I'm sure when Evans was operating in Benin, many would have blamed local Edo people for it.

Crime is now without tribe or boarder.

ok. nice.

So you can ra.pe another man's wife threatening her with knives, guns, axes and so on. Then secure bail and escape abroad or anywhere and that will be it.

This is pathetic. Why is that possible?

Acecube:
People study medicine after PhD? I'm a graduate of Bsc Anatomy and I which to further by going back for Medicine... I guess I can still make it

In some UK universities, around 10% of medical students already have a PhD. In all around 60% already have anything from BSc to PhD before reading medicine. Many fresh ones will take a break of one year within medical studies to do what is called an " intercalated BSc".

Only in 9ja/Africa does a former senator feels too big to become an LGA chairman, a former VP feels to big to become a state governor. We feel to big for certain things.

If you are passionate, you can of course do it.

Hafeezson:
God! i'm shock oo, because i'm living in Gusau, therefore i will tell my girlfreind to stop going anywhere without telling me or any of her siblings.
RIP to Naja'atu

So Bin Hafeez, how comnon is such unexplained murder in Gusau?

Any idea if they do autopsy in such cases to find cause of death?

I am asking because it seems many deaths are not properly investigated in 9ja generally.

debbie:
let me share my story...Back then in school,there was this girl who was always topping the class...its even surprising because it was one of the engineering courses.She was so keen in getting her grades and coming out with first class..well after the project defense she was summoned by the school senate to ascertain her level of understanding aside the academic grades.....it was a rude shock because she knew nothing else apart from engineering courses.Several questions were asked aside engineering and general life...she couldn't answer well.Her level of understanding about life was so so low.
Well she eventually left the university with her first class....only for me to hear that she spent over 2 years at home without a job.She couldn't fit into the society...she was so conscious of her grades that she didnt pay attention to other aspects of human living.
The last time i saw her in the east....i was not impressed and i felt so bad .

To my greatest surprised,the university didn't offer her any lecturing job as the usual case.
They didnt see qualities in her.

Bottom line....while going after academic pursuit....prepare for life after school and equip yourself to face the world beyond the walls of the higher institution.

This point is very valid.
That is why in the West, Schools of medicine, dentistry, etc interview each candidate long-listed for possible admission. A massive job but deemed imperative.

Surprisingly, very little is asked about academic ability. You will have proven that stellar grades already. And they have it on record.
They focus on your personality, interpersonal skills, life experience, hobbies, knowledge of foreign languages, record of involvement in charitable, volunteer or community service. Better still if have been in a care home or hospital environment or the sick or homeless people of some kind.

Basically trying to recruit people who are more rounded instead of just bookworms only. It enables candidates prepared for the profession to be admitted, not just those pushed by parents or who just have top grades without passion for it.

This can be a big ask if people interviewed are under age 20.

This increasing focus on matters in addition to academic brilliance has seen the age of medical students increase dramatically. With many now holding MSc or PhD before returning to study medicine.

funmisticqueen:
My white wedding, 300 people, 150 from each side, i will rent a wedding gown or design myself. For the white wedding reception, 2 million should cover it maximum, 2.5 million, for court just me and my bae, like 200k should cover it. For traditional too, also 300 people mostly family and friends, 2 million should cover it. This is my minimum standard, we will both achieve this without any wahala after or soaking garri during honeymoon. I am hustling, you had better be set..

So around N4.2 to 4.7 million is your minimum.

Hehehehe!

My dear, good luck with it.

We are dealing with a complex issue here.
Although we clearly see the economic side, the cultural aspect is ignored largely.

A child out of wedlock is still frowned upon. A stigma. More serious in some cultures. For everyone sold, tens have been aborted.

Getting rid of child easily serves two purposes: removes the stigma so she get a man to marry her & earn money/material benefit.

Good if transparent.

But wait o.

Is that lady somebody's wife?

Did they do it in certain circumstances that are sacrilegious like in the bush, farm, river, shrine, in public view, during certain ritual festivals that forbid sex, etc?

What exactly is the taboo that warrants using drums to banish someone?
If not it is very bad.

That it is not to everyone's taste does not make it a taboo or a crime.

African men of 27 marry 67 years old ladies abroad.

In 9ja men of 69 marry girls of 18 or 19.

I agree with her. If Nigeria is a human body, the anus is running our national affairs instead of the head/ brain. Why else are we in such a massive mess? Where a man can sell wife & daughter for N270k.

harriet412:
Nawa oo, all this stereotype

My dear, we have too much prejudice o. Sad thing is it could make Calabar ladies target of unnecessary sexual advances.

With silly people thinking they are perpetually in need of sex more than other women.

These bloggers are pathetic.

Canada is not a republic. It has QEII as monarch and head of state, represented by the national Governor-General, and represented by a governor general in each Canadian province too.

All else is tradition, no biggie.

Very sad.

The girl NA mumu girl.
How can she be dating someone like this and expect him to be loyal to her.

No mind her.

They like heartbreak. And she would have turned down proper decent people to choose this graffiti wall of a guy.

Obviously compiled by kiddies for kiddies. Under 25s.

Quite amusing how they wrote "of all time" so carelessly.

Has any of these songs endured for 50 years, even 30 years?

Music that were made during the time of online music and spread quickly?

Can any of these compete with Sir Shina Peters hits not to mention multiple hits by King Sunny Ade, Sir Victor Uwaifo, Ebenezer Obey, Sunny Okosun, Felix Liberty, Orlando Owoh, and many more. The hits are even too many to remember.

A list without Fela, Rex Lawson is crazy. Osondi Owendi remains a massive hit too.

Victor Uwaifos "Joromi" has been used in clubs across the world both in pure form in remixes before the singers of the songs listed were even born.
I had problem convincing white people back in the 1990s that it was a Nigerian song. They they thought it was a South American/Brazilian song.

RIP ma.

emmasege:
Never has Nigeria been this divided and everyone talking about secession.

Such is the fate of a nation which chose an unapologetic bigot and tribalist as her president.

Abi o. Just when Nigeria needed consensus the most, people brought propaganda, tribalism and born-to-rule tactics into 2015 election.

They thought they were doing Jonathan. And they could blame Jonathan forever. Now they have an absent president and a nation falling apart. No peace for the wicked.

That area with so many pythons & crocs?

Not to mention dead rodents floating about.

Very silly if you ask me.

Effiezynews:
Shut the hell up...Did you see a trailer load of banana there? Do you know how much gains she makes per trip? You know how many people eat banana daily?
Sit in your air conditioned office and be receiving 100k at the end of the month,Oga.
I just noticed you are also into business..What is the primary aim of wanting to grow your business? To trek from here to South of France,abi? Cishet you!
Banana fall on you!!

Let him be talking there. I do not know about Banana but I know of plantain. Our grandmothers did plantain business & used the money to do things still standing today. I mean in the 1940s/50s o.

Even up till late 1980s, I knew how much a coach of plantain fetched in profit. We were very obervant kids. With a Benz 911 Truck full load of plantain offloaded at Yaba Market then, considering profit on it, a school Principal's salary was peanuts. Okada Airplane ticket Benin-Lagos was 20 Naira. A plantain business woman could charter several planes if she wanted to.

Not to mention now that food is much more expensive due to higher population, more city dwellers and fewer farmers.

People just talk anyhow.

Victornezzar:
u say that cos he was at Everton
If it was Real Madrid dat he banged all dose goals 4
u won't say dis

He forgot it is harder to score many goals in a smaller club. The mid-fielders, wingers and others that supply balls & crosses are of lower quality.

Whereas, if you're a first team player/striker in a top club, excellent players around you will create loads of goals scoring chances for the striker.

Therefore Lukaku's goal record last season is more impressive than Harry Kane's or Costa's.

Makes sense.

Consider other options like Nissan micra, Nissan Sunny, Nissan Primera, Mazda 323, Mazda 626, Mazda Protégé all 2000model or below. These are good cars you can get Toks below N1m too.

Chai, Mazda 626 Coupe showed me shege those days.

Worked great before shipping it. In 9ja, was a nightmare. Whereas Mitsubishi Lancer Turbo engine worked like a dream. Very long ago sha.

Never again with Mazda.

Litmus:
Btw in the historic league of wrong doing and fraud, Nigeria is languishing at the bottom of division 2 while India, the Chinese and some of the most vocal western critics of Nigeria head the Premiership.

My brother, 9ja are learners in every wrong thing. Murder, scam (old people in their homes scammed by fellow whites in UK, pressurised into buying dubious goods/services, etc)and more.

But with thin-veiled racism, foreigners easily flock to condemn Nigeria as a whole. Even those from countries where girls are raped to death on public trains, where honour killing is routine, serial killers abundant, etc.

Na wa o.

We now have tyranny of Middle Eastern religionists.

Their way or the highway.

People believe in different gods others do not believe in anything. The world is big enough to allow each practice his or none at all.

So long nobody is mining skulls, not using human organs, not casting spells or bombing others to smithereens or other evils, I have nothing to object to.
