Its actually the president, APC and the Chibok parents that are showing bitterness towards our lost sister that has always been their most priced asset until now that they have finished using her.

The sooner Madam Oby accepts that in 9ja every group or organisation has an aim or a goal, the better

Once that goal has been achieved, the tune changes quite often to the opposite. We are not a nation where people hold on to ideology for too long. In fact, most have no ideology at all. It is not unique to APC or BBOG.

Just look at the political landscape. Prostitutes defecting and re-defecting everywhere.

If you hold on to your original ideals, ideas or ideology, you could easily become a worse enemy than the one that you all once fought together.

hmmmmm

Very sad

HBD to the mathematical player. LLnP in good health.

And RIP to commentator Earnest Okonkwo, who coined the now famous "mathematical" word that described his intelligence and accuracy with the ball.

Some one mentioned on this thread that they know this guy and he is from osun besides from my experiences have found that the most of such ridiculous cases of young virile african men marrying grandma's is from Nigeria. They do it too a lot here in my country except the women are black

I am not to familiar with all senegambian features but having a "particular" feature does not mean he is from that area. In fact i know a Nigerian guy who looks exactly like this guy from the complexion to the features

It's no secret that elderly white man and women go to countries to have sex but this is clearly a case of a scammer trying to get his green card. If it was just sex tourism i doubt this man would be flaunting her on social media

Lol. I do not know how well-travelled you are. But I have seen many African men marrying all types of women, old, young, pretty, less pretty, etc. Across many countries.

This is simple maths. Population. The population of Nigerians in USA/Canada/Mexico alone is probably more than the population of Gambia (about 1.8 million) as a whole. Naturally, you're going to see them doing more things, in more places, in more numbers.

Now, to you, he many look similar, but there are certain differences in physiognomy. I'm sure you can differentiate between your neighbours from Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana or Mozambique & South Africans using certain unique features that a Nigerian or a Liberian cannot.

As for someone saying he comes from "Osun State", I saw that of Ogun State written. When people say " Ogun State or Osun State or Ibadan", they do not often mean it. These are locations in Nigeria that people like to "tease"or bash for fun. There are more like that.

Much of the banter going on is just about people making fun of certain clichés.

That guy may look big but such toyboys are from impoverished backgrounds. A lawyer or a middle class guy will hardly have time to be fooling around with a pensioner like that. To him, it could be a meal ticket. Why would he not show off with her online? It might even be an achievement for him.

Views & morality quite often depend on your situation in life. If you deal with many people at a personal level for a living daily, you will see my point.

Stoned? = wrong grammar
Stoned= A state of mind which occurs after smoking enough marijuana to the point where the user stares blankly into whatever catches his/her attention.
E.g
"I was so stoned I didn't notice the movie was in French."

Hurled [b]missile should be a better phrase.


N/B stoned is totally different from "stoning"... .. .. Which is a form of capital punishment by hurling stone at someone until person kick the bucket [/b]

What type of missile? Scud, cruise or Kim Jung-un type?

I guess Kogites have listened to Amaechi. He once said thieving politicians should be stoned.

It could become national pastime to "kogitise" looters.

Oh, sorry. Buhari will not release names of looters or amount returned by any individual.

Oh well, at least the propaganda is on.

SemuhleB:
Nigerian men doing what they do best .

Isn't that a bit too assuming?

Anybody familiar with African faces will know this guy is Senegambian. Not saying some other Africans won't do it but let's deal with this one at hand.

Nothing new here: elderly Western women have been going to several countries including Jamaica, Bahamas, Gambia, Mauritius and others to bed young virile men. Groups of women too, some even married back in the West.

A small fraction of the trysts may even lead to marriage.

Nice, but the whole thing is a bit condescending.

Should a mixed race family still be a sensation in 2016?

Maybe we have not come quite as far as we thought.

Zombies be like : even if Buhari is the only one left with a job, we stand by him.


Now I understand how Hitler managed to stay that long in power.

ajalawole:
;Dchai....... Jesus dey oooo. This is padding bro

Yes sir. Just like charity, padding begins at home. Some want to marry a new wife or finally move into their never ending house being built on top your head by the time funeral ends.

A final chance to seriously suck money from the perceived " exquisitely wealthy but fantastically stingy" relatives abroad.

Grieving diaspora people will finally open their wallets for sure.

ok

ajalawole:
bro am tire ooo. Even as am speaking, am the one taking care of my granny in village now (aged 94), though my dad is late and[b] my dad sister is in UK she dont care about that,[/b] but incase our granny pass on(i pray she stay more years) now, he children in UK will be coming home with billion for the funeral.... Is it only we yoruba's or what? I can't leave my mum like that. Never?

You should try and let them know the situation.
Are they sending money that somebody is "eating" along the way? Do your relatives abroad visit granny in the village when they visit 9ja?

Because, we have seen many things before. Personally.

Until you actually go to the village & see the situation, you will never know. Talking from experience.

The Cocoa, rubber and other plantations granny used to have bringing lots of money in years back (as they remember it) may not be same now.

As for extravagant funerals, remember it is those extended family at home who send estimate to relatives abroad about cost.

Some people earning 100k or less a month in 9ja will now gather to make a list: 5 cows, 7 bags of rice, 4 goats, 25 cartons of turkey, 50 cartons of star beer, 50 cartons of malt, 25 cartons of small stout, Aso-Ebi, TV/Radio announcement, musicians, cooks, ETC. Grand total, 5.5 million Naira for the funeral. And 1 million Naira contingency. In all this, they have decided to contribute a grand total of Zero Naira. Again from experience.

skilfulsagei:
Saraki try for this one!! No bad belle.

But just days back, people were saying here on NL that Saraki did very little. That he should have done far more.

That he should have sunk a borehole for her too instead of just renovating the well.

If others have done this before, won't sinking borehole with 150k to 300k, depending on soil, be cheaper for Saraki than all this work shown here?

This talk would have made sense if Buhari's govt was not already far worse than the last one. Therefore this statement is way too late.

Instead Sanussi should be apologising for his fabricated initial 50 billion dollars then reduced to 20 billion dollars allegedly looted by GEJ govt.

He misled many people into voting for an undefined change.


Now many cannot feed themselves or pay school fees.

Very sad

Lighthouseman:
BBC is generalizing the problem.. Some businesses are thriving but most are suffering especially due to the inflation.

BBC was part of the group that put this government on us bu their skewed reportage against the government of then Goodluck Jonathan.

Now they are forming wailers too

No o. Let them hold their side. We stopped selling Wailers form long ago.

hahaha

ok

abbey621:
Excellent historical perspective but I still maintain there's no such thing as Edo language perhaps I need to clarify my statement to sound more politically correct. There is no such thing as true Edo language! What most people speak is Bini(60%) and the others about 27 different dialect. Coming from a mother who came from Ora, I can tell you her dialect is definitely different from the more acceptable or known Bini language.

You still do not get it. A language called bini does not exist. Sadly even Benin people make that mistake. Benin people sadly copy what they read in newspapers, written mostly by people who do not really know much about Benin.

The Oba & Benin Traditional Council have made it clear that the modern form of the name is Benin, NOT Bini. But we rather listen to announcements made at Buckingham Palace in London than take note of local announcements.

A Benin person is Ovbiedo & a speaker of local language is Unu n'ozedo.
What I am telling you is Edo is both the tribe & language. You would not ask any Esan or Ora person before 1991 if he was Ovbiedo.

The generalisation of all people within what is now Edo State as Edo is a new thing.

If you check your philology text books, those other languages you mentioned in Ora PLUS Urhobo/Okpe, Isoko, Degema (in Rivers State) & some other minor languages in Southern Nigeria that you may never have heard of before, are called Edoid languages. Whether they sound similar to Benin language or not, depend on the length of time of separation from the parent language.

In Benin you ask a person if he's Ovbiedo (is he Edo person?) & if he speaks Edo. That has been the case for centuries. It is the creation of Edo State where people now try, out of political expediency, to generalise other languages as Edo. Because most languages in Edo State come from same parent Edo language spoken around Benin City, it is also in theory correct to call them Edo languages.

I know it is very hard for people to accept that what they have known (or thought) to be correct lifelong is in fact inaccurate. But if you do not actively seek knowledge, you don't get it.

Ayoswit:
so it has gotten to this, I won't buhari for this o, cos there are other better options she would have taken rather than committing suicide. if she wants to kill herself , no probs but let her spare seun's life.

Yep. People I have never known to complain before are complaining bitterly in the past few months.

Sadly, there will be more of this.

This was already discussed here late last year.

abbey621:
Is there anything like Edo language?

Actually the language of Benin people is Edo.

Originally Edo is both language & people. Oba Ewuare replaced Ile-Ibinu with Edo, after 1440 AD. Because (1) he perceived Ile-Ibinu slightly derogatory (2) Ile-Ibinu was a word said by Oranmiyan, a man who grew up outside Igodomigodo as Benin/was called before 1169AD. (3) To honour his loyal servant called Edo, who saved him from certain death as a prince, but Edo lost his life in the process.

The use of Edo to describe Benin, Esan, Afemai, Ika, and others is a very recent thing of political expediency. Precisely when Edo State was created in 1991.

Oba Eweka had to give up Benin traditional rights over Edo Central, Edo North, parts of Delta & parts of Eastern Yorubaland, as part of the conditions for the British to restore Benin monarchy in 1914.

With that, it was felt that calling it "Benin State" would tend to alienate other tribes. Though that would have been the obvious thing since Bendel was first coined from "Benin Province & Delta Province". Because Delta is tribe neutral as a name, it became Delta State naturally. In the 1980s, my Esan, Afemai/Owan & Ika friends would have sharply corrected you if you called them Edo.

Everything is politics in 9ja.

lielbree:
After some ignorant ones will ask what is the use of the national assembly.

Buhari is a tyrant! This is what the former Egyptian president tried to do that got him a death penalty.

When we said Buhari cannot operate within the confines of democratic rules, boot lickers shouted "Tanoid". Democracy has never been palatable to him.

So no surprise that he's extra keen to circumvent it. He wanted power badly. He has wanted power since the 1970s. Only ignorant people without people close to Buhari then do not know that.

Absolute power will corrupt him absolutely.

It is very easy to pluck out figures from wherever and latch on to it.
By the way, is that not the normal leakages or worse in the 9ja system.

Reforms to checkmate such corruption have been resisted by the powers that be.

Who does not know that the sysyem is rotten throughout?

When GEJ wanted to implement subsidy removal, what did APC & opposition do?

Did budget padding not happen right under Buhari's nose.

What Buhari do to make things better? Recovering so-called loot and concealing the amount & people involved? No name & shame.

If the figures shown are true with evidence, why are those involved convicted yet? Or have they decamped to APC and become saints?

Wickedness

The thing is that talk-talk cannot solve problem we have now. Though a dialogue is not a bad idea. doing it in good faith is the crunch.

A good action plan swiftly implemented will speak far louder. Like pushing forward with regionalism.

THE FIRST FULL PAGE AND NOT A SINGLE GIRL COMMENTED. AND THEY ARE ALL VIEWING THE THREAD OOO

GIRLS ARE INDEED THEIR OWN ENEMY

You echoed what I said here earlier. Not just enemy, the babe has rendered the funny belief that certain jobs are not adequate for ladies. Many ladies will now have less excuse to expect man as the provider. While also claiming equal right of the Western woman.
I support equal right for sure. But should come with similar obligations.

Beey:
Shame on you!You are one of the character assassins of Kenya.Yesterday when they were celebrating Kenya's lead in the Olympics on this same Nairaland, please tell me you sent a congratulatory message or else shut up with your cheap news.I am so tired of these Nairalanders who seem to have nothing else going on.They behave as if they are on a payroll,with commission added to the one with the latest bad news from Kenya.My country is blessed.From the top leadership of the land, we are God-fearing people.Every country has some bad "eggs" but the news being posted here are not unique to Kenya alone.Learn to stop digging for dirt and begin to look for positive things in others.My country has so much to offer than this garbage you've posted here.

My dear, learn to laugh at yourself sometimes.

Nigerians are extremely good at it. Nigerians criticise Nigeria more than any other country.

Who does not know each country has its saints & sinners? Nigerians know it more than anyone.
We have faced it from other Africans for decades now.

With all the so-called bad news, 9ja men still go after those stunning Kenyan ladies like no tomorrow.

In fact if you're still free & you stay too long here on Nairaland, you will soon find yourself dancing to the alter with a 9ja guy.

Take the banter in good faith & laugh. You need to see Nigeria-Ghana ones.

In my experience, one seems to bash a person who mirrors oneself too closely. I mean we relish Kenyan news perhaps because they sound like something that could easily be happening in the next street here in a Nigerian city.

Kenya's situation & challenges are not too dissimilar to Nigeria's. Nigeria just has them raised to power x.

Peace.

I think Satan has bought a permanent home in Nairobi Kenya..

In a highbrow area in fact. Complete with drivers, housemaids, gardener & other servants. Haba!

[quote author=Acepen post=48670846][/quote]While your assertion sounds logical, there is no clinical or anatomical basis for it.

Whether one gets watery womanliness or not depends on your anatomy. Same with size of manhood. Racial and ethnic reasons come in.

West African men have this largest endowment on average. Men from Indian, Bangladeshi & around there have the smallest. In fact the latest "manhood size world map" was published just yesterday or even earlier today. Look it up.

But nature is fair: women from Asia are typically smaller in size & much smaller womanliness too. Yes, people actually have to see this things across various races, daily or many times weekly in the line of work.

If a man is virgin say from Gambia, and marries a tiny virgin lady from Tibet, the lady will likely have painful sex in her life. Unless the man goes in with only one-third of his instrument.

This exploring together you are talking about may work if both are ready to. But the likely prudish or over-religious attitude that made them remain virgin could also make them have too many sexual taboos even in marriage. Yes, some people also have to hear these stories as part of seeking daily bread.

If virginity is what people want & they can keep it, fine. But it shouldn't be over-hyped. Many virgins have done everything except penetration. And some have inordinate expectations from sex in marriage from watching porn. If you doubt it, from internet monitoring figures, countries in Asia & Africa where religion imposed virginity expectations prevail also have the highest internet porn watchers. Pakistan & 9ja take the biscuit in the category. A certain unexpected region of 9ja also wins hands down.

In all, nothing guarantees success, it is by luck. Or God if you prefer that.

You will hardly see any ladies on this thread.
Because it is not glamorous.

If it was "Man buys his fiancee/wife/gf Brand New LRS, Man Surprises Fiancee by proposing In A Cinema, Woman Leaves Stingy Hubby After Winning Lottery", they will all flood here to comment.

Good on you young lady. May you grow bigger & branch out big.
