NavierStokes:No mind am. I was rushing to a nearby exam hall one day when I nearly knocked down a senior UK govt cabinet minister with my body. He suddenly came out of a shop, a suits shop I think it was. His position was considered PARTICULARLY sensitive then. His secret service guy just stepped in to hold him. I was not tackled down to the ground by a legion of gun-totting policemen/soldiers. That would have been the case in 9ja. I only realised who he was when I looked back and two Jags pulled up and he was entering one of them. Then I saw his face. I learnt later that those were armoured bullet-proof Jaguars. ![]() |
Nothing new. Most girls are fake too, so they prefer fake guys. Equation balanced. ![]() |
worldmoney:Media is controlled by SW. SW is in Tinubu's pocket. We have seen this many times in 9ja history. SW blasted Shagari & encouraged Buhari to take over. SW media backed Abacha when it appeared he was friendly towards Abiola. After Abacha consolidated his power, media tune changed. SW media turned against GEJ and he lost election. All these are recent history. I did not witness it but records are there: SW media turned against Tafawa Balewa and the crisis that broke out partly due to it (there were other reasons) is well-known. Certainly Akintola's alliance with Balewa caused the media blast. The media will become vocal again the minute Buhari falls out seriously with Tinubu. Just wait and see. |
rollywise:. He must be from one of those places without any history of achievement or contribution to human civilisation. Don't pay him any attention. ![]() |
bokohalal:For where? Ring Road? For the amount of money he got in allocation? Ogbemudia's few years in office can never be compared to 8 years of Oshio. Oshio is a complete dwarf as in real life. ![]() You obviously were not around then. You will not know his legacy like Uniben, Ogbe/Ogbemudia stadium, roads with drainages that were still superb well into early 1990s, schools and many more. Who do you think built those highly visible schools that Oshio painted in his first term in office? Remember that Oshio came to power largely on the vote of Edo South. Ogbemudia's a military appointment (aside under three months civilian rule in in 1983). He did not need to please anyone to be re-elected but he worked well anyway. Once Oshio was re-elected, his only project was imported high maintenance foreign wife & a quasi-private university in his village. Lucky was all round useless. I admit that easily. |
All of dem na same jor. Some just do cosmetics in some highly visible areas in their first term and use the rest to siphon. Some like Lucky Igbins just siphon for 8 years straight. Oshio's main gaff recently is to ignore the importance of history in Edo South that supported him for 8 years. Otherwise, APC would have had a better, if only slim, chance of winning. The race is wide open now as it is. PDP won the last presidential election in Edo. |
Slimberry1:Na wa o. I was at university with people from most of Asia, Europe and North America. Most tried to be the best. None condoned excuses. It made for a very stimulating environment. I confirmed what teachers in 9ja told us back then: work hard and excel here at home and you will excel in ANY university anywhere in the world. I wonder what happened to that 9ja Can-do spirit. Even if you end up just missing out on 1.1 but at the very least you tried your level best. |
The argument people put up against excellence here is why Asians: Chinese, Singaporeans, South Koreans, Japanese and others will remain ahead of us. Are we happy with the current 9ja system of mediocrity and long leg? Should we not start striving to take 9ja to where our fathers and grandfathers failed to reach? Are we happy to perpetuate the rotten system we have now? Should we not start pursuing merit & excellence in whatever we do? People keep quoting Zuckerberg & Gates who got admission into Harvard but left willingly when they set their minds on other things. How are they mediocre? Which of us would reject a 1.1 if we earned it? |
cardoctor:. Even in UK pharmacists can prescribe. Usually minor ailments. Even some nurses with special training can. If the pharm swapped the prescription given by a doc, then it was wrong. He should have sent him back to the doc since the pharm doesn't have the full medical history. Because the doc might have a reason for giving that particular antibiotic drug instead of the apparently superior one: allergy, resistance, etc. |
Tolexander:Given a chance, almost every woman will go where the money is. With fame included even better. Now guess who has more of both: a graduate applicant/with average paying job or sportsmen/musicians? |
truthspeaks:Armageddon ti take over. .Na saintly govt be this, bah? You go fear. ![]() |
He has no understanding of the scripture. He was just a churchgoer like a large number of people. Confessing your wrong deeds does not exempt you from worldly, disciplinary or legal rebuke or punishment. Being set free is with regard to heaven/salvation/God. If you are a driver and got involved in serious fraud or theft and abused your position and trust (not saying this happened here), you cannot really expect to keep that job despite confession. If next time you steal in a Sharia law state and they chop off your hand, will you now run to join Hare Krishna? ![]() |
hmmmmm |
The funny thing is one of these SUVs' cost can renovate one derelict primary school that will help future generation learn. Na wa o. |
seunny4lif:Gbam! Most annoying when a girl who cannot even speak English dey form phonair. Very fake. No country in the world ever achieved anything tangible with a non-native language as official language. UK, Germany, France., USA, Canada, South Korea, China, Italy. Just name it. All have native languages. Even North Korea, with all their backwardness, would not make atomic weapon if they had adopted Efik, Yoruba or Vietnamese as official language. It affects innovation, thought process & intelligence of most people generally using a borrowed language. ![]() |
Owliver:That is the great dilemma of many, even pastors. It is like being gay in Africa. People conceal these things. At the end, we have lots of hypocrites parading as what they are not just to fit in with the socio-cultural & religious norms. Basically living a lie. No wonder worship houses litter every street yet vices are increasing. Because most are doing it for the show, not from their hearts. In my observation, lots of atheists are more tolerant, charitable & humane than lots judgemental holier-than-thou religious zealots who do not/cannot even adhere 10% to the good teachings of the religion they so loudly profess. |
The way niccurs like to copy meaningless things just for the show. |
Bitter leaf is da bomb anytime. I like bitter stuff so like it as soup, used other soup and squeezed that drunk. Your stomach will suddenly make gbroooooh sound in agreement. ![]() |
Jez negodu! |
cstr11:To be fair vanity and worship of money was less then. Just look at how those women dressed. Responsibly and modestly. What we see in many modern women is a reflection of the wider society. Where morality and virtue have plummeted. ![]() |
pamcode:Uniben in the 1980s. |
In the Western World people generally avoid two topics during discussion: politics & religion. They are simply the two most divisive topics. Except among good friends and close family members. Even then it can still be potentially divisive. |
jhydosky:Abeg don't waste your time. His parents would be ashamed of him if they knew this. What will "finish" a man first makes him "deaf" to good counsel. He's now alone staring at the barrel of a gun. Anyway, something has to finish a man, either money or a woman. ![]() |
marcopollo:In fact, the thing dey perplex person. The guy should check well. The lady might have already used juju to mumurise him. ![]() |
vicchi12:I'm telling you. A very unwise guy. A woman hell bent on harming you doesn't care if she has ten kids for you. A woman already planning life without him with her siblings, he went confronting her as if you quarrelled over chop money. She began setting the stage to discredit him before both families. So that when she's ready to leave him, nobody will be surprised. Or even if bludgeoned to death, she could claim self defence against a violent hubby. If they were in the Western world, she would by now have kicked his black ass into the cold outside using the police, over framed up domestic violence. ![]() We may frown upon our tradition as we like, but it is the kind of situation a woman used to be taken to ancestral shrine to swear an oath. If you keep such a secret, you also die secretly. |
Some women tell worse lies than this, including bringing you a child they know is not yours. All without batting an eye. You were serving, just not stated location. You are working just not stated location. Wrong to lie but I see no biggie here if you are ready to come clean and stop bobos. Don't lace your coming clean with marriage proposal. It would seem like a bribe. Come clean and see how she reacts. If she forgives, marry her. If she does not forgive, let her go. You don't need an unforgiving wife, no matter how much you think you are in love. Good luck. |
They are fine alright. But is police now a beauty contest organisation or a law enforcement/crime fighting body? Do they now use beauty to catch rapi.sts, killers and armed robbers? |
Literature & Fine Art, I don't know which was worse. Maybe FA just slightly takes the biscuit. ![]() |
Sorry to hear that. Use this opportunity to ask your mum if your dad is your biological dad. Seems abnormal for a man of 64 under whom you grew up to be ogling your behind. They might have adopted you because they had no girl among their kids. Do you dress provocatively around the house that the "looking" is actually done in disgust? I don't think you should give up your rented place if you can. But still return home, even if partly. Your mum is seriously ill, should the unexpected happen (May God heal her), you don't want to stay at home but return to your rented house. |
Sealeddeal:Nor be small thing o. People may not necessarily oppose the so-called fight against corruption BUT seriously oppose the way you go about it. EFFC should be independent and act on available evidence, not take orders from FG to just arrest any vocal political opponent. While those who siphoned billions as governors and others around you walk about free. |
But why is headline so different from the main gruesome content? Very barbaric and evil act. |
